"Whoa!"
With a sound, the few in front of Li Jiancheng flew into the air, Li Jiancheng's city government did not have Li Ershen, but his cultivation was far better than Li Er, and he had never been so disrespectful as lifting the table in public, but this time, Li Jiancheng made an exception but did not feel relieved, and rushed forward to lift Yu Dashi, who was kneeling in front of him and crying, and asked with a handsome roar: "Just lost like this?" Just lost it? Duan Lun is crazy and stupid, why did he open the city gate when he was about to fight? Why didn't he suspect at all that Wang Fubao's puppet was deceiving him? ”
"Wang Fubao's puppet is pretending to be too similar." Yu Dashi wept and replied: "He suddenly released arrows to the thief army on the battlefield, stirring up the thief army and the Chinese army, making each of us think that he was surrendering to the thief Chen, and took the opportunity to turn against him, and then he was chased by the thief army and fled to the north gate of Lingshi, Manager Duan felt that he had to help him, and felt that Wang Fubao was a rare talent, and it was of great use to save him, and said that he could sell him to Dou Jiande a big favor, so that Dou Jiande was more willing to help us, so he ordered the north gate to be opened." Who knows ......, who knows that Wang Fubao's husband, in fact, the real target of fraud is our ....... ”
After that, Yu Dashi couldn't help crying loudly, crying: "Manager Duan said that he didn't have the face to see you again, so he asked the little one to come back and report the news, he led the army to fight the thief army ......to the death, and the result is that until now, no one ......knows whether Manager Duan is alive or dead." ”
"Rubbish!"
Li Jiancheng scolded hysterically, threw Yu Dashi to the ground, his anger was still there, and he rushed to Li Er, who was standing aside, pointed at Li Er's nose and yelled and asked, "Why don't you persuade Duan Lun?" You have always prided yourself on being resourceful, why didn't you see Wang Fubao's trickery, and why didn't you remind Duan Lun that he couldn't easily open the city gate?! ”
"Brother, please calm down." Li Er's handsome face stained with mud and blood was very calm, and he replied in a deep voice: "The junior brother has already told you just now, at the time of the incident, the younger brother was fighting with the Chen thief army on the battlefield, and he didn't have time to understand the situation at the North Gate, let alone persuade his brother-in-law, and by the time the junior brother found out that there was a change in the city, it was already too late." ”
Glaring at his younger brother viciously, the muscles on Li Jiancheng's face twitched, Li Er was not afraid, and calmly looked at Li Jiancheng, and after a long time, Li Jiancheng stomped his feet heavily, looked up to the sky and roared, "Heaven is dead to our army!" ”
The hall was silent, Li Shentong, Yin Kaishan, Zhang Lun and Zhang Daoyuan and other civil and military officials of the Taiyuan Army were all depressed, their mouths were closed, and only Yu Dashi was still lying on the ground crying. After a long time, Li Jiancheng shook his head weakly and sighed: "There is no way, we can only rely on Jiexiu and Lengquan Pass to hold on here, I hope we will not make mistakes again this time, and don't give the enemy a chance like a spirit stone again." ”
"Zuo Dudu, Jiexiu Lengquan Pass is already our last line of defense on the southern front, once it is broken through by the thief army, the five counties of Taiyuan will no longer have any natural protection." Yin Kaishan opened his mouth and said: "The matter has come to this, no matter how great the hope is, we should immediately start arranging in Wenshui, even if we can't break the thief army at the critical moment, we can temporarily block the footsteps of the thief army and win us time to respond." ”
"That's all there is to it." Li Jiancheng sighed, then turned to Li Shentong and ordered: "Uncle, I will leave the matter of Wenshui to you, set off immediately to prepare, the sooner the water is stored, the better, there is not much time left for us." ”
Li Shentong agreed, and immediately went down to prepare to leave, but Yin Kaishan said: "Zuo Dudu, and Dou Jiande's side, now Cao Dan is garrisoning Yueyang, Dou Jiande's army can directly drive to Linfen, only ask Dou Jiande to send the main reinforcements, we can win more time." ”
"I sent Ren Bi to Linwei a long time ago." Li Jiancheng replied casually, shook his head and said: "But Yueyang's road is not suitable for the march of the army, and it is unlikely that Ren Bi can ask Dou Jiande to personally send troops, and Dou Jiande can add some troops to Yueyang, and I will be satisfied." ”
"Governor Zuo, can you ask Dou Jiande to go to Jingcheng Pass to enter the army, and return to Jiexiu to help our army?" Zhang Daoyuan proposed.
"After such a long detour, Dou Jiande may not agree." Li Jiancheng shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Besides, inviting Dou Jiande to enter the army from Jingcheng Pass is equivalent to inviting Dou Jiande into our empty hinterland, even if Dou Jiande agrees, I don't have the courage to accept it." ”
When Zhang Daoyuan shut up, Li Jiancheng sighed again: "Of course, when we are forced to retreat to Taiyuan City, we can only beg Dou Jiande to enter the army from Jingcheng Pass to help, I hope that day will never come." ”
Everyone nodded one after another, and they all comforted Li Jiancheng and said that the city of Jiexiu was strong, the terrain of Lengquan Pass was steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and no matter how strong the main force of the Sui army was, it would never be easy to break through, and when Li Jiancheng also quietly comforted himself with these words, Li Er over there suddenly opened his mouth and said to Li Jiancheng: "Brother, the day before yesterday, our army got the news that it was Liang Shidu who accepted Chen Yingliang's traitorous appeasement, gathered troops and horses in Shangcheng and Yanfu, and prepared to send troops to attack Lishi County and cooperate with Chen Thief to go north. If the elder brother does not give up, the younger brother is willing to lead the headquarters to Lishi to resist this thief, and will not let the Liang thief cross the Yellow River one step. ”
Glancing at his younger brother very vigilantly, Li Jiancheng replied: "No need, Erlang, you are tired from fighting and need to rest urgently, so let's stay in Jiexiu and help me give advice to resist the thief army." On the other side of the stone, uncles and they will resist. ”
"The younger brother has been defeated in front of the Chen thief, and if he stays in the Jiexiu army, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to the army." Li Er seemed to have been frightened by Chen Fuliang, and said with some discouragement: "There are also soldiers under the command of the junior brother, who have also been killed by the Chen thief army, and stayed in Jiexiu to talk with friendly soldiers, I am afraid that no matter how it will shake the morale of the army, it will still be ......." ”
"It doesn't matter, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." Li Jiancheng interrupted Li Er with a wave of his hand, and said: "If we are defeated by Chen Thief, we will shake the morale of the army, and we must transfer the army that has suffered defeat, then we will not have many troops left." Our army started from you and me, all the way to ordinary soldiers, how many people have not suffered defeat in front of Chen Yingliang? In this whole world, where can you find an army that once defeated Chen Yingliang? ”
Li Er had no choice but to shut up, secretly hating his brother to the extreme, but Li Jiancheng snorted coldly in his heart and said: "Don't think I can't see it, you actually want to take the opportunity to slip away, maybe you want to take the opportunity to sneak back to Taiyuan to be embarrassed by the fourth brother, don't even think about it, no matter whether Jiexiu can hold here or not, you have to stay in Jiexiu for me!" ”
"You want to detain me on the front line and not give me a chance to form my own army?" Li Er also sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "It's okay if you don't let me go, just stay, it's not a big deal!" Anyway, I am outside the garrison city, as long as the cold spring can not be defended, I will immediately lead the army to withdraw to Taiyuan to join forces with the fourth brother to defend the city, and you can defend the small city as you like! ”
…………
Diametrically opposed to his thunderous friend Li Jiancheng, after receiving the news that the Sui army's vanguard had miraculously taken the Lingshi City, Chen Fuliang, who was currently waiting for the main army in Linfen City, laughed wildly for three minutes, and just praised Wang Fubao, Liu Heimin and Cheng Yanjin and other generals, admiring his own wisdom and wisdom even more, and galloping hundreds of miles to recruit Wang Fubao was indeed not in vain. Huo Shiju, Wei Ziqi and other Sui army civil and military forces who rarely met with Chen Fuliang kept congratulating Chen Fuliang, saying that they could quickly take the Lingshi Heavy Land with only the forward, and then wait for the main force to arrive, and it would be easy to break through the Cold Spring Pass and break through the Bird Mouse Valley.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and there are not many official duties to be cooked, Chen Fuliang, who has always been stingy, is rare to be generous, ordered a big banquet to celebrate the victory with everyone, and sent people out of the city to contact Qin Qiong who was stationed outside the city, so that Qin Qiong could also enter the city to drink together. As a result, the messenger had not yet gone out, and there was a herald outside the door who reported the news that Qin Qiong wanted to see him, Chen Fuliang laughed when he heard it, and said: "I heard that Zhijie has established a miracle over there, and some people can't hold their breath." Look at it, I'm definitely here to inquire when I will enter Yueyang. ”
Wei Chi Jingde, Huo Shiju, Wei Ziqi and others laughed together, and then after Chen Fuliang ordered the summons, Qin Qiong strode into the door in addition to congratulating Chen Fuliang, and then immediately couldn't wait to ask Chen Fuliang: "Your Highness, where is our main force?" When can I get to Linfen? ”
"I just entered Wenxi." Chen Fuliang replied with a smile: "Counting the distance, it will take at least three days to reach Linfen." ”
"Why is it so slow?" Qin Qiong heard the bitter complaint, and after hesitating for a moment, Qin Qiong said in a roundabout way: "Your Highness, our army scouted and reported that after Cao Dan's puppet withdrew to Yueyang, he made every effort to strengthen Yueyang's city defense, rush to repair various city fortifications, and also established a camp outside the city to form a corner with the city. The last general believed that it was best to send an army to Yueyang City first to confront Cao Dan Pifu and not give Cao Dan Pifu a chance to build strong fortifications. ”
"That's what I mean." Chen Fuliang nodded, and said: "I was planning to ask Deputy Chief Huo to send an army, and rush to Yueyang to confront Cao Dan Pifu first, and wait for the main force of our army to arrive, and then send additional troops to attack the city-Shubao, what do you think?" ”
"No way!" Qin Qiong was anxious when she heard this, and blurted out: "Fighting Yueyang can only let the last general go, not Deputy Chief Huo go!" ”
Before Qin Qiong's words fell, Huo Shiju, Wei Ziqi and others were already laughing back and forth, and Wei Chi Jingde, who had always had a more serious personality, couldn't help laughing wildly, and said that Chen Fuliang was really expected, Qin Qiong was inexplicable at first, and after finally figuring out the reason, it was inevitable that there would be a blush, and then Qin Qiong stopped talking nonsense, and immediately knelt down on one knee to Chen Fuliang, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, the last general please order to go out on the expedition, and take the lead in rushing to Yueyang to fight with the thief army, if you can't win again, the last general is willing to lead the army!" ”
Chen Fuliang suppressed his smile and said to Qin Qiong: "Uncle Bao, I understand and understand your eagerness to make meritorious contributions, but why are you so eager to fight? There are only more than 6,000 people under your command now, and Cao Dan Pifu has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under your command than you, and there are city camps to defend. Wait a little longer, when our main force arrives, I will allocate another 10,000 soldiers and horses with you, so that you can send troops to attack Yueyang, so that you can be sure. ”
"Your Highness, the last general really can't wait!" Qin Qiong gave up his hand again and said anxiously: "The last general is unlucky, he went north to reinforce Linfen and lost consecutive battles, which not only broke the morale of our army, but also greatly damaged the majesty of the Tang King. ”
After that, Qin Qiong hurriedly added: "The last general is here, even if you can't defeat Yueyang City, you must defeat the enemy army in the field battle and restore the prestige of our army!" The last general has already found out that Yueyang City has hoarded a large amount of food, there are only four or five thousand garrisons in the city, and the main force of the thief army and Cao Dan himself are stationed in the camp outside the city, and it is very easy to lure him into a field battle, please rest assured. ”
Eating deflated in front of Wang Fubao one after another, Qin Qiong's mind of being anxious to regain face Chen Fuliang of course understands very well that the decisive thing on the battlefield is never the number of troops, it is not uncommon to win more with less, and Qin Qiong, a famous general of Lingyan Pavilion, undoubtedly has this potential. So after thinking about it for a while, Chen Fuliang finally nodded and said, "Okay, you can go, but I have one condition, you must agree to me before you are allowed to go." ”
When Qin Qiong heard this, she was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Chen Fuliang what the conditions were, but Chen Fuliang's answer made Qin Qiong, Huo Shiju and the others dumbfounded on the spot - Chen Fuliang smiled and said: "My condition is that after you arrive at Yueyang City, you must lose two battles first, and the third battle will allow you to win!" ”
"Must be defeated first?" Qin Qiong was a little surprised at first, but a famous general is a famous general, after being stunned for a moment, Qin Qiong immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, you want the last general to defeat the arrogant enemy, lure the enemy to show his flaws, and then exert his strength to win." ”
"Clever." Chen Fuliang smiled and approved, and explained: "Uncle Bao, you are unlucky this time, you won the Zhijie by lot, but on the battlefield, you were unlucky to meet Wang Fubao, who likes to attack the enemy unprepared, and if you are a little careless, you will eat a few defeats in a row, although I know very well in my heart that you have lost very wrongly, but Dou Jiande's thief army is different, they will definitely think that you are not as famous as meeting, but in fact, they are not afraid." Since the enemy will definitely have such a mind, then you will get twice the result with half the effort if you use arrogant tactics to lure the enemy, understand? ”
After that, Chen Fuliang smiled again and added: "You used arrogant tactics to lure the enemy this time, and the effect is so good that you may be able to lure out Cao Dan's puppeteers, aren't you the best at taking the main general of the thief army directly from the chaotic army?" If you're lucky, you might be able to cut off Cao Dan's head in the battle, or even capture him alive for me. ”
As soon as Qin Qiong heard the joy, she hurriedly hugged her fists and sang a promise, and then she didn't even want to participate in the celebration banquet, so she immediately said goodbye and went back to prepare for the expedition, Chen Fuliang didn't stop it, and let Qin Qiong leave with a smile. As a result, looking at the back of Qin Qiong happily saying goodbye and leaving, Huo Shiju, Wei Ziqi and others inevitably had some worries, and they all reminded Chen Fuliang: "Your Highness, General Qin's shameful heart is too eager, and he is attacking the crowd with less and attacking the strong with the weak, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable in the war, and I ask Your Highness to investigate it carefully." ”
"It doesn't matter." Chen Fuliang replied casually: "Qin Shubao is brave and strategic, he is a general, this time it is really too much to meet Wang Fubao, the most capable under Dou Jiande, even if he loses the battle, it can only be said that the enemy is too powerful, and he cannot be said to be incompetent." Cao Danpifu is narrow-minded, and the communiqué personal vendetta has repeatedly deliberately forced Wang Fubao to die, which shows that he is one? Incompetent people can't be Qin Shubao's opponent, I expect that Qin Shubao will definitely be able to defeat Cao Dan in this battle, and he will be ashamed. ”
Huo Shiju and Wei Ziqi nodded suspiciously, and after Chen Fuliang thought about it for a while, he said again: "Forget it, why don't I help Shubao again, so that Cao Dan will be even more careless." Zi period, your writing is good, write a letter to Cao Dan for me. ”
Wei Lao stubbornly left Chen Fuliang's only inheritance, Wei Ziqi hurriedly agreed, and immediately asked people to get a pen and paper for Chen Fuliang as a temporary secretary, and when asked about the content of the letter, Chen Fuliang replied: "In my tone, say something I and Cao Dan's brother-in-law Dou Jiande have never had any kind words such as grudges, and I won't mind if Dou Jiande sends troops to help the Li brothers, I am still very willing to get along with Dou Jiande, and finally told Cao Dan that as long as he retreats and returns to Yueyang City, he will establish a non-aggression friendly relationship with Dou Jiande for me, I gave him 300 catties of gold, 10 pairs of jade buckets and jade walls, 100 pearls and 10 beauties. By the way, the tone can be as respectful as possible, and it is best to pat Cao Dan's ass more! ”
The letter was written quickly, and after Chen Fuliang checked that the signature was correct, he sent a eloquent messenger to Yueyang with a heavy gift to contact Cao Dan, and then Chen Fuliang raised his wine glass and greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay, everything that needs to be done is done, we should officially celebrate, and also celebrate in advance General Qin Qiong's defeat of Cao Dan's thief army, and teach Dou Jiande a lesson!" Also, I also celebrated in advance that General Qin snatched back the gift I gave to Cao Dan with interest! ”
…………
As Chen Fuliang expected, in the early morning of the next day, when the envoy of the Sui army rushed to Yueyang with valuable gifts, and waited for half the night to see Cao Dan himself, after reading the letter signed by Chen Fuliang, Cao Dan really laughed proudly, and then slapped the table and roared at the envoy of the Sui army: "Go back and tell Chen Yingliang that if you want to make peace, you can first take the head of Wang Fubao's husband to prove his sincerity, and then this general can consider making peace with him!" ”
The envoy of the Sui army also said that if Cao Dan could ignore Wang Fubao's surrender to the Sui army, Chen Fuliang could still discuss the thanks. It's a pity that Cao Dan didn't listen at all, and pointed at the envoy of the Sui army again and roared: "Less nonsense!" Get out of here for General Ben! By the way, I will tell Chen Yingliang that my family King Le hates him deeply, and when he heard that Wang Fubao had betrayed him, he would inevitably personally raise troops to the west, and if he Chen Yingliang was smart, he would immediately send a messenger to send the head of Wang Fubao's husband to my brother-in-law to ask for guilt! Otherwise, his time of death has come! Get lost! ”
The envoy of the Sui army was expelled by Cao Dan's personal soldiers and left, but as soon as the envoy of the Sui army left, our general Cao immediately opened the gift box sent by the envoy of the Sui army, played with the precious jewels in it with a smile on his face, and said proudly: "Chen Yingliang, it's just like that." ”
