Chapter 2 Counting the Flying Fox

Due to the discovery of the abnormality, the city gate was quickly closed, the drawbridge was also pulled high, a soldier rushed to report to the guards, the soldiers who were hiding under the city and sleeping rushed to the city, stretched their necks to look out of the city, they all saw that it was not the Sui army that came, but a group of merchants, pulling more than a hundred camels, the general merchants are donkeys, although there are camels, but it is not common.

More than a dozen people walking in front, picking up a lot of game, many people know them, they are the hunters in the flying fox, often hunt game to come to the county for food and salt, the first hunter surnamed Zhang, looks like a roe head rat brain, everyone calls him Zhang Mouse.

"Zhang Mouse, what is the camel team doing behind?" A soldier asked aloud.

"The caravan from Taiyuan is going to Zhuojun with good things."

"What's good?" The soldiers asked.

Zhang Mouse pretended to smile mysteriously, and posed with a water hyacinth to drink, "Wine!" The soldiers suddenly realized, and suddenly became excited, Shanggu County has been in war for many years, and the grain has been very tight, and there is no grain to make wine, and occasionally some fruit wine can be brewed, but the fruit wine is not strong, far inferior to grain wine, plus the climate is cold, and it is necessary to drink wine to keep out the cold, so the soldiers heard that there is wine, and the soldiers in the city began to be confused.

"General Wei is here!"

The soldiers dodged one after another, and a general in his early thirties walked up, with a big purple and black face, a face full of meat, and a fierce gaze, he was Wei Dao'er's nephew, named Wei Tiesheng, nicknamed 'Wei Beast's "Rape and Burn Kill" All kinds of evil, the people of Shanggu County hated him to the bone, and he also knew that his people's grievances were too deep, and it was difficult to die well, so he lived happily one day at a time.

"General Wei, it's a merchant who sells wine!" The soldiers shouted excitedly.

"You bought it!"

Wei Tiesheng scolded, looked out of the city, in front of him were more than a dozen hunters, he also knew, and behind were more than a hundred camels, the camels were full of wine jars, led by a black-faced man, followed by dozens of guys.

Although Wei Tiesheng is not a general, he was just a scoundrel before, but he still knows some common sense, and now it is not far from the day when the Sui army will attack Hebei, he must be extremely vigilant, and there are very few businessmen passing by in winter, he is also a little suspicious of this group of businessmen.

"Where did you come from, where are you going?" Wei Tiesheng asked in a vicious voice.

The black-faced man is Cheng Biting Jin, he has also traveled south and north before, and he has stayed in Wagangzhai, he knows how to deal with these bandits.

Before leaving, he tore open the broken gong and shouted: "Walk the white tiger on the mountain, swim the green dragon in the water, pass by from the treasure land today, go to Zhuojun to mix rice, according to the rules, two components will be sent, I hope that this military master will let us have a way to live, and after returning to our hometown, we will burn a piece of incense in the temple of Emperor Guan, and ask the military master for longevity." ”

"I'm pretty good at talking!"

Wei Tiesheng had a good impression of Cheng Yanjin, and asked again: "I see that you are a little familiar." ”

This is also jargon, which means to ask Cheng Yanjin if he has worked in the bandit industry, Cheng Yanjin grinned, "After messing with Song Jingang for a few days, the birdman was incompetent, and the brothers dispersed, robbed a team of merchants' camels, and we also did some small business to make a living." ”

"Are you wine?"

"Damn it, it's horse urine mixed with water!"

Wei Tiesheng laughed, there could be no such bastard in the Sui army, he waved his hand, "Let them enter the city!" ”

The money was put down, the city gate was wide open, the soldiers went out of the city to search their bodies, and the knives they carried with them were searched, and the camel team entered the city, Cheng Yanjin pointed to the wine on the camel and said to Wei Tiesheng: "There are a total of 1,000 altars, and my brother can take 200 altars to go." ”

Wei Tiesheng was not polite, and ordered his subordinates to "take two hundred jars of wine!" ”

The soldiers stepped forward to get the wine, Wei Tiesheng glanced at Cheng Biting Jin, and saw that he looked quite rude and strong, so he asked him, "Brother, your surname?" Where are the people? ”

"The younger brother's name is Cheng Zhijie, a native of Dongjun."

Cheng Zhijie is Cheng Biting Jin's word, which was given to him by his father, and he has never used it, and most people don't know it, Wei Tiesheng nodded, and asked again: "Is there a Sui army outside Flying Fox Road?" ”

"Yes, in Lingqiu County, I met a patrol cavalry, interrogated us for a long time, said that we didn't pay taxes, knew what they meant, sent dozens of jars of wine and let it go, damn it, it's not easy to do some business! Or go up the hill and be merry. ”

Wei Tiesheng pinched his arm, the tendons were very strong, and he smiled: "Since you want to go up the mountain, follow me!" ”

Cheng Yanjin grinned and said: "Wait until I sell these wines, let's not hide it, these wines and camels were also robbed by us, I heard that Zhuojun can sell them for a lot of money, wait for us to sell the wine, go to the Qinglou brothel for a few days, and then come to my brother." ”

Wei Tiesheng and Cheng Yanjin had a good relationship, so he decided to leave him behind, he patted Cheng Yanjin on the shoulder and smiled: "Isn't it easy to want a woman?" My brother is here, my second uncle is the Emperor of the Great Wei, I am the secretary of the military department and the general of the hussars, you follow my brother, I will protect you as a general, and you can be whatever you want. ”

Cheng Biting Jin squinted his eyes and said: "What's so good about being an official, you still have to drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat, beat up someone who doesn't like your eyes, and see a woman you like snatching it, then the fuck is happy!" ”

"Good! Well said, my brother is a man of temperament, you are not allowed to leave, you must stay, my brother will pick you up tonight. ”

Wei Tiesheng and Cheng Yanjin talked very closely, and Cheng Yanjin's words spoke to his heart, but he didn't know that Cheng Yanjin and anyone could talk about love.

At night, 10,000 Sui troops have approached Feihu County, they are hiding in a forest three miles away, waiting for news in the county, several Sui soldiers who are unwilling to join the gang and are put back by Cheng Yanjin brought the news, Cheng Yanjin has been a brother with the guard Wei Tiesheng, and has become the deputy general of the defenders of Feihu County, and the city is about to be broken tonight.

Qin Qiong immediately stood under a pine tree, his eyes thoughtful, if it was a crooked ploy to bite the gold to seize the Tiger Prison, the capture of Fenyang Palace was by luck, and the capture of Wangwu County was just a coincidence, then he had to admit that Cheng Biting Jin's capture of Flying Fox County was indeed a kind of wisdom.

In fact, there is no crooked strategy and right strategy, as long as the thing is done successfully, it is a good policy, if it is he Qin Qiong to take Feihu County, what will be the result, it is nothing more than a sneak attack, he can't worship his brother with the guard general, become the other party's deputy general, he is even more ashamed to put chronic sweat medicine in the wine, which is harmful to his Qin Qiong's name, but Cheng Biting Jin can do it, as long as he can succeed, do everything, this is where he is not as good as Cheng Biting Jin.

If you count the military exploits carefully, Cheng Bitingjin's military exploits are greater than him, but why did Cheng Biting Jin not become the main general, but he Qin Qiong became the main general? The reason is because of his background, he Qin Qiong is Zhang Xutuo's general, and Luo Shixin is too, which is an emotional tie, including Jia Runfu, who became the logistics director of the Northern Sui Army quietly, including Niu Jinda, who became the first among the Asian generals, surpassing the veteran Ma Shao and Cheng Yanjin, who had repeatedly performed miraculous feats.

This is a kind of attachment to Zhang Xutuo's feelings by the governor Yang Yuanqing, so that the generals of the Zhang Xutuo faction in the Northern Sui Army can be reused, but reuse is not necessarily trust, although Yang Yuanqing kept saying that he was not worried about Cheng Biting Jin, so he personally rushed to Yanmen County to deploy, but Qin Qiong knew that if Yang Yuanqing was really not worried about Cheng Biting Jin, he would not let him fight Feihu County, and the person who was really worried about the manager was actually himself.

He Qin Qiong did not rely on military merits to be reused, but relied on Zhang Xutuo's relationship, which made Qin Qiong feel a deep crisis, he couldn't always eat Zhang Xutuo's old book, if he couldn't show the wisdom and talent he should have, then sooner or later he would be eliminated by later generations.

At this time, Qin Qiong secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would take Yi County and make a real contribution.

In a mansion in Feihu County, the smell of barbecue meat is still lingering in the middle of the mansion, the bonfire in the courtyard has gradually been extinguished, there are overturned wine jars everywhere, the two thousand soldiers guarding the city are almost all drunk, and they fall to the ground, in the corridor, in the house, in the pavilion, you can see the drunk soldiers on the ground everywhere, they seem to be unable to care about the cold of the night.

Cheng Yanjin was lying by the campfire, sleeping like everyone else, next to him was Wei Tiesheng, his head resting on his lap, already drunk like mud, there was silence all around, only the sound of whirring wind came from overhead.

At this time, Cheng Yanjin's eyes suddenly opened, his wine was inferior wine mixed with water, and what could intoxicate people was chronic sweat medicine, although Cheng Yanjin also drank half a jar of wine, but he took the antidote in advance and was not fascinated.

Cheng Yanjin slowly stood up, and then one by one his subordinates stood up, and they kicked the soldiers around them, but they didn't move.

"General, it's all drunk."

"Take a few jars of wine and go to the guards at the city gate and pour them over."

Cheng Biting Jin gave an order, dozens of subordinates stumbled towards the city gate with the wine jar, although it was bad wine, but if they drank too much, they would still be more or less intoxicating.

Cheng Yanjin squatted in front of Wei Tiesheng and patted his face, "Big brother, wake up!" Eldest brother! ”

But no matter how he filmed, Wei Tiesheng couldn't wake up, Cheng Biting Jin's face sank, and scolded in a low voice: "Damn, give you a smile, Lao Tzu's cheeks are sour, phew!" What kind of bird thing, it is also worthy of being my big brother Cheng biting gold. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's heart was dark, he pulled out the knife, and was about to slash at Wei Tiesheng's neck, he suddenly hesitated, he had bowed to Wei Tiesheng, killing Wei Tiesheng like this would damage his reputation Cheng Biting Jin, and he would suffer retribution, Cheng Biting Jin was more superstitious about this, he immediately recruited a subordinate, handed him the knife, "Cut off the head of this thief!" ”

The soldier raised the knife in his hand, and chopped off Wei Tiesheng's head with a knife, Cheng Biting Jin smiled, picked up the head and threw it to his subordinates, "This credit will be given to you, and the money that Lao Tzu owes you will be written off!" ”

He turned and strode towards the city gate, when a soldier rushed back: "General, the defenders of the city gate are all drunk. ”

Cheng Biting Jin pursed his lips and disdainfully, "Lao Tzu knows that these birdmen will secretly drink." ”

He pointed his sword at the castle tower and ordered: "Ignite the fire and open the city!" ”

In a moment, the tower was lit up, and a raging fire rose into the sky, which stood out in the darkness, and the drawbridge was lowered, and the city gate rumbled open.

The Sui army, who was hiding in the forest, saw the scorching fire and cheered up, and Qin Qiong gave an order: "Rush in!" ”

10,000 Sui troops rushed out of the forest and rushed towards Feihu County.
