After a long story and a short time, after tossing a lot of intrigue and intrigues, a day finally passed, and only one day of rest was over after the end of the battle of Laoxian, and Chen Fuliang, the commander of the Qinwang coalition army, who had lost his conscience, gave an order, and the Qinwang coalition army, which had reached as many as 140,000, once again pulled out the camp and set off towards the Yanmen battlefield, the main battlefield of the Qinwang war.

The battle of King Qin is destined to be a turbulent war, the army has not yet begun to set off, Chen Yingliang's Chinese army tent has two not small things, the first thing is the forward problem, out of various considerations, Chen Yingliang very unexpectedly arranged Liu Changgong to lead the right guard team as the striker, at the same time Chen Yingliang also decided to leave the number one elite national army of the right guard in his own Chinese army to use, as a result, Liu Changgong and Chen Yingliang relationship was also a little unhappy, protested: "Marshal, you let me be a pioneer no problem, But the task of the pioneer is already heavy, and you still transfer the elite service army under my command, isn't it a little too interesting? ”

"Brother Liu, it's not that I'm harsh on you, it's that I have to do it." Chen Yingliang replied: "Because of some special circumstances, you must be the vanguard, and I must also transfer the army to serve the country, but you can rest assured, the possibility that the Turks will send troops to intercept us today is very small, and we only walk thirty miles a day, and the distance between the armies is very close, even if there is any danger, I will immediately send troops to meet you." ”

Fortunately, Liu Changgong has always been good to Chen Yingliang, and he knows that Chen Yingliang is not very good as a coach, so for the sake of the friendship between them, Liu Changgong didn't say anything more, hugged his fists and sang a promise, and immediately went to lead the army first. And Liu Changgong just left, and Yang Jun, the king of Qi who did not belong to the ranks of the Qin Wang army, came to Chen Yingliang again, and asked to lead two thousand escort soldiers and horses to accompany Chen Yingliang to the north, Chen Yingliang used Yang Jun's noble status to come to the front line in person, and pretended to refuse two sentences, and after Yang Jun's categorical refusal, Chen Yingliang had no choice but to nod helplessly and agree, and arranged for Yang Yong to lead the army to go with the Taiyuan Sui army.

In Yang Jun's opinion, this is of course Chen Yingliang in order to familiarize himself with the situation of the Taiyuan Sui Army in order to seize power, under the secret joy in his heart, Yang Yuan of course agreed, and Li Yuan, who also had a ghost in his heart, was also secretly happy in his heart, so he did not say anything against it. Immediately afterwards, Chen Yingliang arranged the Taiyuan Sui Army as the second team, Wang Shichong's Jiangdu Sui Army as the third team, the Peng Sui Army as the fourth team, and Yun Dingxing's Zuotun Wei as the fifth team.

After that, a small incident happened, out of respect for the imperial power, when Chen Yingliang, the commander-in-chief, transferred troops, the Yin Shishi, who most firmly supported Chen Yingliang in this Qinwang War, did not say anything, but as soon as the army started, the Yin Shishi ran to Chen Yingliang and raised his worries, reminding: "Dashuai, you have arranged our five main forces to the front, and the rear is only protected by General Gao Junya, is it too important to pay too much attention to the front power and light the reserve?" General Gao Junya is loyal and brave and good at fighting, but the army under his command is too complicated, and the combat effectiveness is difficult to guarantee. ”

"Yin Taishou is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield, and he really hit the nail on the head." Chen Yingliang praised it, and then admitted calmly: "Yes, my arrangement and deployment are revealing flaws in the rear, but don't worry, I did it on purpose." ”

"Deliberately?" Yin Shishi rolled his eyes, came to his senses a little, and said happily: "The marshal wants to lure the enemy into dividing his troops, copying the back of our army, and then breaking the Turkic divisions?" ”

"Yes, our army and follow-up reinforcements continue to arrive, and the grain and grass in the army are enough to support the whole army for more than half a month, so I don't have to worry too much about the grain road being cut off." Chen Yingliang smiled and said: "But my purpose is not entirely like this, I have a more important purpose." ”

When the Yin Shishi asked curiously what other important purpose Chen Yingliang had, Chen Yingliang was not obscure, and replied very frankly: "To show the enemy weakness, I want to make the Turks feel that it is difficult for me to control the army, so that even a main combat force can not be left to protect the back road, so I can only succumb to the pressure of my subordinates and be forced to bring all the main combat forces to the front line." ”

"What?" The Yin World Master was taken aback, and when he observed Chen Yingliang's expression in surprise, he saw that Chen Yingliang's expression was not like a joke, so the Yin World Master nodded and said in a low voice: "Xia Shi understands that since Da Shuai has this plan, then please rest assured that Da Shuai will definitely do his best to assist you." If the commander doesn't give up, the lower officials can also find a way to help you put the news on the Turkic side and help you show weakness to the enemy. ”

"Don't." Chen Yingliang hurriedly shook his head and warned in a low voice: "Yin Taishou, for your own good, you'd better not have any contact with the Turks in private, don't forget Ambassador Li, your subordinates have repeatedly opposed him, he has long hated you to the bone, once you do this, once he catches the handle, the consequences will only be unimaginable." ”

The Yin World Master smiled, smiled and thanked Chen Yingliang for his kind reminder, saying that he would definitely act cautiously, the smile was still a little strange and mysterious, and Li Jing on the other side had been quietly paying attention to the Yin World Master, seeing the Yin World Master's strange smile, Li Jing couldn't help but smile slightly, and didn't know why, so he nodded slightly.

…………

The Sui army only rested for a day in Laoxian and then continued to march north, such a big move, of course, it was impossible to hide from the eyes of the Turkic scouts in any case, and this important information was quickly reported to the Yanmen Turkic camp, and at the same time, the eldest Sun Shunde, who was sent by Chen Yingliang to contact the Turkic army, had also been captured by the Turkic sentinels, and was immediately escorted into the Turkic camp and escorted to the front of the Turkic Khan Shibi.

The moment to determine the future development of this Yanmen War came, and when there was enough time, Shibi Khan and a large group of relatives under his command did not rush to take the Turkic army out of Yanmen Pass, and went to Yanmen Pass, where the terrain was extremely favorable to them, to prevent accidents, but quickly summoned the Sui army envoy Changsun Shunde to inquire about the intention of Changsun Shunde, and also took the opportunity to understand the internal situation of the Sui army, as well as the mysterious Sui army commander Chen Yingliang.

After understanding the origin of the eldest grandson Shunde, and reading Chen Yingliang's letters written in Chinese and Turkic scripts, Shibi Khan and Ashina's family were a little dumbfounded for a while, and they couldn't understand what Chen Yingliang was thinking in his head, and they were willing to release more than 5,000 Turkic prisoners of war in exchange for the Sui army to send 5,000 Hu military rations to Yanmen City, and they couldn't help but admire Chen Yingliang's whimsical - how did they come up with such a ridiculous quid quid pro quo?

Ashina Simo, who was more familiar with the situation in the Central Plains, was the only one in Ashina's family, who did not sneer, and in turn defended Chen Yingliang: "It's not strange at all, and it's not ridiculous, the people of the Central Plains have always respected their emperor as a god, and the more loyal the ministers, the more so, in order to make Yang Guang suffer less hunger, the loyal ministers of the Central Plains are willing to pay such a price." However, if Chen Yingliang is willing to make such an exchange, why did he cut off the two fingers of each of our prisoners of war? ”

"Because our commander feels that these prisoners of war have offended our emperor." Changsun Shunde, who could understand some Turkic dialect, replied directly in Turkic and explained: "So our commander decided to give them some punishment, even if it is to release them, we will cut off their two fingers, so that they will always remember the price of offending His Majesty the Great Sui Emperor." ”

"The price of offending Yang Guang?" Shibi Khan laughed, and then slapped the case and yelled: "Then what about the price of Yang Guang offending me? This despicable and shameless thing deceived my beloved minister Shi Shu Huxi to Ma Yi to kill him, and deliberately named my younger brother Ashina Qiji as the little khan, trying to divide and divide our brotherhood, and offended Ben Khan to the extreme, how can this account be calculated? ”

"That's a good thing that Pei Ju did, it's my business, why are you yelling at me?" (Booby-trapping the Turkic think tank Shi Shu Hu Xi and the Ashina brothers were both Pei Ju's ideas.) ）

The eldest grandson Shunde muttered in his heart and shouted grievances, fortunately, the Turks had a good reputation in treating envoys, and they never killed envoys at most but detained them, so even if they saw Shibi Khan angry, eldest grandson Shunde was not very afraid, but just arched his hand and said: "The Khan forgives the sin, the little envoy just conveyed Chen Yingliang Chen Dashuai's original words, these words are not the meaning of the little envoy, please check the Khan." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Shibi Khan nodded and said: "Okay, for the sake of you Central Plains people who did not kill Ben Khan's people indiscriminately, Ben Khan will give you an answer after thinking about it, come and put a banquet for me to entertain the Central Plains envoy." ”

"Ambassador Li really cleverly came." The eldest grandson Shunde thanked and smiled, knowing that Shibi Khan's big tent was holding a banquet to entertain him, obviously wanting to extract the internal situation of the Sui army from his mouth.

At the critical moment, the eldest grandson Shunde, who also had a little kinship with Chen Yingliang, also hesitated a little, and some didn't want to do too much to the niece and son-in-law of the clan, but considering Ambassador Li's status as an imperial relative and the background of the gatekeeper, as well as Chen Yingliang's pitiful shallow foundation, the eldest grandson Shunde, who had never even spoken a few words to the niece and son-in-law, still made a wise choice. The number of troops, the composition of the army, the situation of soldiers' rations, the situation of logistics and supplies, and the names of the commanders of the various Qinwang armies were all explained cleanly, and they were all explained cleanly and clearly than tortured with heavy torture.

The eldest grandson Shunde's confession frightened the Turkic military ministers a little, so that Shibi Khan, Ashina Eliver and Ashina Simo, who had read some military books, couldn't help but think of a common word in military books - anti-between! Not only did some people not dare to believe the introduction of the eldest grandson Shunde, but on the contrary, some were afraid that the eldest grandson Shunde was deliberately showing weakness and using tricks to deceive the army. So after thinking about it for a while, Shibi Khan cautiously asked Changsun Shunde: "Mr. Changsun, I heard that your boss Chen Yingliang is just a nineteen-year-old young man, is this matter true or false?" ”

"Khan is wise." The eldest grandson Shunde nodded with wine and said, "Yes, our Chen Dashuai is indeed only nineteen years old, and it is not false at all. ”

"Really only nineteen? Then why did your Emperor appoint him as commander-in-chief? Ashina Simo asked curiously.

"It's not because that kid is lucky, he was lucky enough to be the first to send King Qin's chapter to Yanmen City."

The eldest grandson Shunde replied truthfully, introduced the situation of Chen Yingliang's envoy who was the first to send the chapter into Yanmen City, and directly pointed out according to the analysis of Li Yuan's father and son that Emperor Yang of Sui was probably because he didn't know what famous generals came to King Qin, and when no one was available, he chose the tallest one in the group of dwarves and appointed Chen Yingliang as the commander of King Qin. As a result, the more Shibi Khan listened, the more dumbfounded he became, and the more and more suspicious he was that the overly frank eldest grandson Shunde was sent by Chen Yingliang, but fortunately, in the future, Luo Khan Ashina Eliver immediately came up and whispered in Shibi Khan's ear: "Big brother, there is such a thing, do you remember the Central Plains spy we caught by the river a few days ago?" He confessed that there were three Central Plains spies who jumped into the river and entered Yanmen City? ”

"Is there such a thing?" When Shibi Khan heard the surprise and saw his younger brother nodding, Shibi Khan thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "Did that Central Plains spy kill you?" Didn't kill? If you don't kill him, I'll send someone to bring him in at once, and I'll interrogate him myself later. ”

Ashina Eliver took the order to go down to arrange, and the eldest grandson Shunde saw that the Shibi brothers were sneaky and refused to continue to ask, so he took the initiative to say: "Speaking of which, our Chen Dashuai is really a little legend, two years ago, he was still a poor boy in Daxing City, his parents died, he had no relatives and no reason, he was poor and picked vegetable leaves in the vegetable field to make porridge to drink, and he was so depressed that he came to the house of his wife who was married to him several times to withdraw from the marriage, forcing him to commit suicide and almost died of his youth. ”

Chen Yingliang's little story is indeed very tempting, even if the Turkic monarchs and ministers heard it, even Shibi Khan was interested, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Changsun, since this Chen Yingliang was so depressed two years ago, why did this kid climb to the point where he is today in just two years?" ”

"It's a long story, but it's also luck that nothing can stop it, after our Chen Dashuai hanged himself and was rescued, he suddenly worked hard to ......."

The eldest grandson Shunde sighed, and carefully introduced Chen Yingliang's past with the strength of wine, saying that Chen Yingliang went to the Eastern Capital to join the army and dug the first pot of gold, and also said the general reason why Chen Yingliang has been promoted and made rich in the past two years. This Duke Tang and his son-in-law also happened to be in King Qin's army, and the two families were nominally superior and superior, but in fact enemies, fighting in the army all day long, making a lot of trouble. ”

"Duke Tang Li Yuan?" Shibi Khan's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that he is the current Hedong and Shanxi comfort envoys, Li Yuan and Ambassador Li?" ”

"Yes, that's him." The eldest grandson Shunde hurriedly nodded, and asked curiously: "Khan, do you also know Ambassador Li, Duke Tang?" ”

Shi Bi smiled and didn't answer, and Ashina Simo next to him sneered and said: "Don't think that only you Central Plains people will collect intelligence, Duke Tang is stationed in Taiyuan, and the army under his control directly confronts our Turkic army, how can it be impossible for our Khan to know his name and situation?" ”

"You know best." The eldest grandson Shunde was secretly happy in his heart, and simply said directly with the strength of the wine: "Because of the hatred formed by the son-in-law, Duke Tang and our Chen Dashuai have also become enemies. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde's drinking words were too direct, so that Shibi Khan couldn't help but be suspicious again, and after thinking for a while, Shibi Khan simply slapped the table suddenly and shouted: "Come on, take down this Central Plains spy!" ”

In the strange sound of promise, the Turkic guards in the tent immediately rushed up, grabbed the arms of the eldest grandson Shunde and lifted it directly, the eldest grandson Shunde was shocked, and hurriedly shouted injustice, asking why he suddenly took himself, and Shibi Khan was furious and said: "Why do you suddenly take you?" What are you pretending to be a Central Plains spy? It's not that Ben Khan hasn't seen the envoy of the Central Plains, when has he seen an envoy like you, who has answered all questions about the situation in your army, and directly sued Ben Khan about the contradictions in your army? Say! Are you Chen Yingliang, that little barbarian from the Central Plains, deliberately sent to deceive me? You want to trick me into being careless with you, and then you can take the opportunity to use some intrigues to trap our Turkic army, right? ”

"Khan spares his life, you misunderstood." The eldest grandson Shunde was even more injust, and he quickly explained, sweating profusely: "I didn't lie to you, what I said was all the truth, and in fact, I am not ......." ”

Sweating profusely at this point, the eldest grandson Shunde finally came back to his senses and quickly closed his mouth, while Ashina Simo over there did not give up and asked, "Actually, what are you?" Why not go on? ”

Eldest Sun Shunde hesitated, but at this time, a familiar voice from Eldest Sun Shunde came from the tent door, and he shouted in surprise: "Mr. Eldest Sun, why are you?" Mr. Changsun, help me, I'm Hou Junji, I'm Ambassador Li's bodyguard Hou Junji! ”

Quickly turning his head to look, the eldest grandson Shunde was suddenly dumbfounded - Hou Junji, the guard who was quite popular with Li Yuan, was being escorted into the big tent by the Turkic soldiers in rags, and was shouting hello to himself. As a result, Shibi Khan and other Turkic monarchs and ministers were also dumbfounded, and then ordered to escort Hou Junji to come to trial, Ashina Eliver, who hurriedly asked Hou Junji through the traitor: "Do you know Mr. Changsun?" ”

"General, of course I know him." Hou Junji nodded desperately, and quickly explained: "He, like me, is a close confidant under the command of Duke Tang Li Yuan and Ambassador Li, he is Duke Tang's staff, I am Duke Tang's guard, we all hate Chen Yingliang's thief to the bone!" The one who jumped into the river and touched Yanmen City that night was really Chen Yingliang's thief's lackey, but I don't know how Chen Yingliang's lackey could speak your Turkic dialect! ”

At the same time that the eldest grandson Shunde was even more dumbfounded, the interpreter also quickly translated Hou Junji's words to the Turkic monarchs and ministers, and after listening to these words, Shibi Khan and other Turkic monarchs and ministers also quickly showed ecstasy, and then quickly calculated for a while, Shibi Khan also asked the guards to let the eldest grandson Shunde, and then walked to the eldest grandson Shunde in person, opened his arms and suddenly hugged the eldest grandson Shunde, and laughed: "Understood, understood, in fact, you are a person sent by the Duke of Tang, right?" Duke Tang and Chen Yingliang have a grudge, and they want to take the opportunity to take revenge, right? ”

"Khan, I ......." The eldest grandson Shunde's face turned pale, and his voice trembled a little.

"Needless to say, I understand everything." Shibi Khan laughed and said: "Don't worry, as long as Duke Tang helps me defeat the Central Plains army and capture Yang Guang, a tyrant alive, I will definitely help him avenge his hatred and help him kill Chen Yingliang!" ”

"Let him go!" Shibi Khan pointed to Hou Junji's instructions again, laughed and said: "He is also Duke Tang's person, Duke Tang is our friend, and we can't embarrass our friend's person." ”

"Friends?" The eldest grandson Shunde was even more dumbfounded, and said secretly in his heart: "At this fateful time, I made friends with Ambassador Li and the Turkic army, and Ambassador Li knew that he wanted to pick my skin?" Or do you want to pump my tendons? At this time, a familiar voice from the tent came from the door of the eldest grandson, and he shouted in surprise: "Mr. eldest grandson, why are you?" Mr. Changsun, help me, I'm Hou Junji, I'm Ambassador Li's bodyguard Hou Junji! ”

Quickly turning his head to look, the eldest grandson Shunde was suddenly dumbfounded - Hou Junji, the guard who was quite popular with Li Yuan, was being escorted into the big tent by the Turkic soldiers in rags, and was shouting hello to himself. As a result, Shibi Khan and other Turkic monarchs and ministers were also dumbfounded, and then ordered to escort Hou Junji to come to trial, Ashina Eliver, who hurriedly asked Hou Junji through the traitor: "Do you know Mr. Changsun?" ”

"General, of course I know him." Hou Junji nodded desperately, and quickly explained: "He, like me, is a close confidant under the command of Duke Tang Li Yuan and Ambassador Li, he is Duke Tang's staff, I am Duke Tang's guard, we all hate Chen Yingliang's thief to the bone!" The one who jumped into the river and touched Yanmen City that night was really Chen Yingliang's thief's lackey, but I don't know how Chen Yingliang's lackey could speak your Turkic dialect! ”
