Chen Yingliang's demon moth changed a lot of history at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but did not change the heavy history of the siege of Yanmen, as in history, taking advantage of the opportunity of Emperor Yang of Sui to tour the Great Wall in the north, the Turkic Shibi Khan, who once had a very good relationship with the Great Sui Dynasty, and was also the brother-in-law of Emperor Yang Guangtang of Sui, suddenly took all his soldiers and horses south to attack Emperor Yang of Sui's car, in a vain attempt to kill or capture Emperor Yang of Sui in one fell swoop, so that the Central Plains completely fell into the dilemma of a group of dragons without a leader.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, the greatest woman of the Great Sui - the greatest woman who has not yet been one, Princess Yicheng, the cousin of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty! Promptly sent a messenger to the Sui Yang Emperor to report the alarm, the first to report the sneak attack of the husband Shibi Khan to the Sui Yang Emperor, has been paraded to the territory of the Ma Yi Emperor Sui Yang was shocked when he heard the report, and quickly led the accompanying hundred officials and escorts to flee to the south, but the Turkic cavalry came too fast, two days later the Sui Yang Emperor and his party had just fled into the Yanmen City, the Turkic army had already come to the city, surrounded the Yanmen County City, and among the accompanying officials, only the second son of the Sui Yang Emperor, Yang Hui, led a partial division to escape, but was quickly surrounded by the Turks in Lao County, Yang Guang and Yang Yun, father and son, were trapped.

The critical moment to determine the trajectory of history has arrived, in view of the Turkic power, unable to resist the enemy, Zuo Yiwei general Yu Wenshu once built yì Sui Yang Emperor led thousands of elite cavalry to desperately break through, fortunately Chen Yingliang's old Bole Fan Zigai resolutely opposed, strongly persuaded Yang Guangjian to defend the city, mobilized reinforcements from all over the country to go north to Qinwang, in recent years The Sui Yang Emperor, whose brain has been constantly flooding, was also wise at the critical moment, adopted Fan Zigai's construction yì resolutely defended the city, sent envoys to break through with the edict, asked for help from the Sui army in various places, and tied the edict to the driftwood, Thrown into the Hutuo River under Yanmen City, the edict ordered the civil and military officials of all counties and counties in the world to organize the army to go north to King Qin!

It is slightly different from history, in history, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was surrounded for 12 days before issuing the edict to King Qin, and this time, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty issued this edict on the third day of the siege, and at the same time very lucky, the driftwood tied with the edict just floated to the vicinity of Xinkou was picked up by the people, and then immediately spread rapidly throughout the country through various channels, the world shook, and at the same time, because the prestige of the Great Sui court still exists, for a while, the soldiers and horses of King Qin are like carp crossing the river, and they have sent north.

It's a pity that among these Qinwang troops, there is no team with Chen Yingliang that runs so fast, and there is no army that is as well prepared as the team under Chen Yingliang.

Chen Yingliang's de facto father-in-law, Wang Shichong, is a master of acting, in order to show his loyalty when he went north to show his loyalty, he was unkempt in the team, cried so much that he lost his normality, did not take off his armor day and night, and lay on the grass to sleep. But compared with his son-in-law, Wang Shichong's acting skills are a little clumsy - in order to let another de facto father-in-law, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, know his loyalty, Chen Yingliang not only never disarmed himself on the road, ate dry food and drank stream water and stayed in the ridge at night, constantly crying about the national disaster, letting his war horses out to carry grain and grass, marching hundreds of miles every day, and burning incense and praying in public every morning and evening, praying that God would bless Emperor Yang of Sui to be safe and sound, and insist until his reinforcements arrived to relieve the siege.

Not to mention, Chen Yingliang's prayer this time is really sincere, and he sincerely hopes that Emperor Yang of Sui will be safe and sound - after all, if Emperor Yang of Sui hangs up, Chen Yingliang's performances will be wasted.

The majesty of the imperial court still exists, and Emperor Yang of Sui still has some appeal, seeing Chen Yingliang's hard performance, the soldiers of the Sui army composed of soldiers and horses from the three counties of Qian Pengqi are inevitably a little moved, and they are extremely greedy for the rich reward after the success of King Qin, so they all ignore the fatigue of the journey, and resolutely march a hundred miles a day in accordance with Chen Yingliang's order. Crossed the Hanoi County at the southern end of the Taihang Mountain, entered the territory of Jiangxian County in Shanxi Province in the west, and then took the flat official road directly north to Taiyuan, and the speed of the march was so fast that after the Peng Sui army crossed Hanoi County, even the Dongdu army that received the edict of King Qin earlier than the Peng Sui army had not had time to cross the Yellow River.

The flat official road provided a good foundation for the rapid march of the Peng Sui army, and the Taiping territory of Shanxi also allowed the Peng Sui army to march without distraction, and not long ago was swept by Li Yuan, the ambassador of Shanxi Hedong, the area of Jiang County, there was no decent thief and wanderer who could slightly threaten and delay Chen Yingliang's march speed, Chen Yingliang passed through Jiang County during the period, not only traveled 100 miles a day every day, but also often exceeded the prescribed distance, and it only took three days to cross Jiang County lightly and arrive at Linfen.

It was also during this period that Peng Wenwu was surprised to find that Chen Yingliang seemed to have prepared for this Qinwang operation, not only prepared the topographic map of the mountains and rivers in Shanxi, but also found a few guides who served as post guards in Shanxi all the year round to lead the way, helping the Sui army of Qian County to avoid many detours. When everyone was surprised to ask the reason, Chen Yingliang replied confidently: "The last time the thieves and Chai Baochang had an incident, I tried to find an envoy to exterminate them, although I didn't succeed, but I also prepared these things in advance, but I didn't expect to use them now." ”

Hearing Chen Yingliang's explanation, Qian Peng Wenwu suddenly realized, but Yuan Tiangang, Wei Zheng and other staff officers were still worried about many things, and took the time to ask Chen Yingliang on the road: "Deputy envoy, you and we have never fought with the Turkic barbarians, and we can't even understand their words. ”

"We haven't dealt with the Turks, but we happen to have a Turk by our side." Chen Yingliang replied with a smile, and patted his brother-in-law next to him, Changsun Wuji, and explained: "Wuji's father, Changsun Shenggong, began to deal with the Turks as early as the previous week, and relied on the conquest of the Eastern and Western Turks to make meritorious contributions, and knew the Turkic situation well. ”

Hearing the words of his future brother-in-law, the eldest grandson Wuji was also very proud, and quickly made a mock Turkic dialect, and said that he could not only speak Turkic, but also write Turkic (Sogdian), and ordinary letters were not a problem. Seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was so familiar with the Turkic situation, Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang were pleasantly surprised, but they also inevitably suspected that Chen Yingliang had the ability to predict the future - Chen Yingliang had never taken the eldest grandson Wuji on the expedition before, and this time it was difficult to bring it once, and it could come in such a big handy. Chen Yingliang said that it was all a coincidence, saying that he was going to take leave to return to Daxing to marry his eldest grandson Xiao Luoli after he finished fighting Wagangzhai, so he decided to bring his eldest grandson Wuji.

The problem of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent has been solved, and new problems have come again, Yuan Tiangang, who wants to take advantage of this opportunity to be promoted, reminded again: "Deputy envoy, this time to the king of Qin, although because of various mistakes, we must be the first team to rush to the Central Plains of the king of Yanmen Guanqin, there is no doubt about this, but no matter how fast our speed is, it is impossible to be faster than the army of the counties in Jinzhong. But this is a rare opportunity not to be missed, and we must firmly grasp another big prize! ”

"What lottery?" Chen Yingliang asked rhetorically.

"The first Qinwang army to get in touch with His Majesty the Emperor is a big prize." Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Your Majesty and the hundred officials of the imperial court are surrounded by the Turks in Yanmen, and they must be eager for reinforcements, even if it is the news that reinforcements have arrived, it will definitely make the emperor ecstatic and make the defenders of Yanmen feel great, in this case, why don't we try to win this lottery?" Send people to disguise themselves, pretend to be ordinary people or even Turkic herdsmen, sneak to Yanmen City on the mountain path of Wutai Mountain, and send your deputy envoy to the emperor, then even if we are not the first imperial army to arrive at the Yanmen battlefield, this Qinwang's first merit is also decided. ”

Chen Yingliang, who was holding back enough energy to get a high-ranking official, was overjoyed when he heard this, but after a little calculation, Chen Yingliang frowned again and said, "It's unlikely, right?" Even if others don't do this, we can't find a guide who is familiar with the trails of Mount Wutai to lead the way. ”

"It's okay, we can find it." Yuan Tiangang said: "We are going north by the official road, and there are many business travelers along the way, so we can recruit a guide who is familiar with the terrain of Wutai Mountain, and then reward him heavily, let him show us the way, and we will hope to send the Qinwang Song to the emperor first." ”

Chen Yingliang nodded, and immediately told Yuan Tiangang to act according to the plan, and sent people along the way to find and recruit business travelers who were familiar with the terrain of Wutai Mountain, and the result was that the hard work paid off, when Qian Peng arrived in Huoyi to rest overnight, Yuan Tiangang really brought Chen Yingliang a man with a roe head rat, saying that this roe head rat is called Qin Sange, who is from Wutai County, because the family is poor to a family of Wutai business as a partner, and he came down here with the shopkeeper to traffic goods, I heard that Qian Peng Sui military recruited people who are familiar with the terrain of Wutai Mountain with heavy money, greedy for a reward, he ran to the army of Qian Peng to apply for a job, and promised to take the messenger of Qian Peng across the mountains of Wutai Mountain and reach the city of Yanmen.

After looking at the third brother of the roe deer, he found that his hands and feet were full of calluses, and he really looked like a person who was active in the mountains all the year round, so Chen Yingliang said to him: "The situation over there in Yanmen, you must also know, it is very dangerous, are you afraid?" ”

"Back to the adults, the little ones are not afraid." Third Brother Qin has a very lumpenproletarian temperament, and said very chicly: "The big deal is that the head has a big scar, it's not a big deal." But adults, if the little one takes your people to take the path over Wutai Mountain and reach the city of Yanmen, do you really give the villain a reward of ten taels of gold? ”

"If you can bring my people to Yanmen City, I will give you twenty taels of gold!" Chen Yingliang replied categorically, and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, if you can also bring my people directly into Yanmen City, I will not only double the gold, but also give you an official job, so that you can marry a beautiful wife, have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and live a good life with your wife and children!" ”

Third Brother Qin's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded and said: "Don't worry, the small one must do his best, please rest assured, the small one is Tanshang Village who lives in the mountains of Wutai Mountain, and all the villains in the mountains know how many small roads there are, and the people who take you will copy the path and cross the Wutai Mountain and touch the city of Yanmen." For the gold, the villain fights! ”

Chen Yingliang nodded with satisfaction, first asked the soldiers to take Qin Sange aside to rest, and then quickly ordered Wei Zheng to pick up the pen to write the chapter, and at the same time arrange the candidate for the envoy, and Yuan Tiangang, who was quite courageous, did not hesitate, and immediately volunteered to say: "Deputy envoy, let the lowly post go, the lowly post was born in Shuzhong, and he has traveled to many mountains and rivers, and is familiar with walking mountain roads, so he is the most suitable candidate." ”

"No, you can't go." Chen Yingliang refused and said: "Mr. Yuan, I know that you want to make meritorious contributions, but this action is too dangerous, and if you are not careful, your head may fall to the ground. ”

Yuan Tiangang, who was eager to seek merit, originally wanted to fight for it, but Chen Yingliang resolutely refused to allow it, Yuan Tiangang had no choice but to change his words and say: "Deputy envoy, then who are you going to send?" This is arranged. ”

"Do you need to ask?" Chen Yingliang smiled a little and said, "Among my subordinates, who is qualified to deliver the recital on my behalf, and who has a head that I don't need to feel distressed about, don't you understand?" ”

Yuan Tiangang suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Deputy envoy, just say what you say in front of us, if you let Qian join the army hear this, you won't have to cry to death on the spot?" ”

Chen Yingliang smiled heartily, and Wei Zheng, who was writing the article, couldn't help laughing, and stopped writing and smiled: "Not to mention, I also think that Qian joining the army is the most ideal candidate for messengers, although I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but I also think that Qian joined the army is surprisingly lucky-I have been tossed so many times by our Deputy Envoy Chen, and I can still live until now, this luck is really incomparable to us in the world." This adventure to deliver the chapter is definitely a life of nine deaths, and if we go, it will definitely be nine deaths, but if you join the army, you may be able to catch that life. ”

Chen Yingliang, Yuan Tiangang and the eldest grandson Wuji laughed together, all agreeing with Wei Zheng's judgment, and then of course Yuan Tiangang immediately went to pass the money to the people to see, and then naturally, our Qian joined the army immediately knelt down and hugged Chen Yingliang's legs and cried loudly, "Deputy envoy, I don't dare to go, I don't dare to go, I don't dare to go!" Hundreds of thousands of Turkic iron horsemen surrounded Yanmen to the point that they couldn't get through, and even if they had great ability, they couldn't enter Yanmen City! ”

As usual, seeing Qian Xiangmin's crying appearance, Chen Yingliang may let him go as soon as his heart softens, but this time it is about the first merit of King Qin, Chen Yingliang said that he would not give in to anything, threatening and luring and insisting that Qian Xiangmin take this risk, Qian Xiangmin still refused, crying that he had old and low, and had a wife and concubine in the middle, and would rather resign than take this risk. As a result, Chen Yingliang also became angry, grabbed the money and yelled at the people: "Sue you, you have to go if you don't go this time!" The Son of Heaven is heavier than Mount Tai, and it is a matter of King Qin, if you dare to refuse again, I will cut you off for the Turks now! ”

Qian Xiangmin's tears fell again, crying so much that the pear blossoms brought rain and cuckoos wept blood, muttering just begging Chen Yingliang to let him go, and also listed his Jiangdu courtship. Of course, Chen Yingliang didn't bother to pay attention to him, but he bewitched and said that if Qian Xiangmin's trip was successful, not to mention that the official was promoted to two levels, even if he was promoted to three levels, there was no problem in saying it, carrots and sticks, plus Yuan Tiangang and Wei Zheng persuaded him, and finally Qian Xiangmin reluctantly nodded and agreed to take this risk.

Fortunately, although Chen Fuliang lost his conscience, he was not a completely ruthless and unrighteous person, considering that Qian Xiangmin had indeed done some practical things for himself, Chen Yingliang thought about it for a long time, and instructed his eldest grandson Wuji: "Wuji, teach Qian to join the army two Turkic words, let him remember it firmly, and it may come in handy when the time comes." ”

"No problem, those two?" The eldest grandson Wuji replied.

"First sentence, I am the messenger of the Khan, don't arrest me." Chen Yingliang replied: "The second sentence, catch that person, catch that Central Plains spy!" He is a spy in the Central Plains! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji agreed, and immediately translated these two sentences into Turkic to teach Qian Xiangmin, but Qian Xiangmin was confused and asked carefully: "Deputy envoy, why do you want to remember these two Turkic words?" ”

"What? Not to save your life at a critical moment? Chen Yingliang asked angrily, and pointed out again: "I have arranged a guide to walk the path for you, and I will also arrange an entourage for you, at the critical moment, I will allow you to lose your pawn and protect the car, understand?" ”

Qian Xiangmin suddenly realized, and hurriedly thanked Chen Yingliang again and again, and offered to take the little bandit He Er, who often dealt with him, to the north, Chen Yingliang agreed, Qian Xiangmin was even more overjoyed, and said secretly in his heart: "Stinky He Er, tell you not to be beaten for me last time in Jiangdu, wait for me!" ”

After arranging this qiē, Chen Yingliang continued to lead the army to the north in a hurry, all the way into the city and the camp, day and night just rushed to Yanmen, during which there was little contact with the local government, until he arrived in Qi County in Taiyuan County, Chen Yingliang sent people to get in touch with the Qi County government, and learned that the assembly place of Qinwang's official army in Shanxi was Xinkou at the junction of Loufu County and Yanmen County, Chen Yingliang hurriedly ordered the army to take a break in Qi County, and took out the gold and copper coins brought by the army, and purchased grain from merchants in Qi County, Taigu and Yuci at three times the price. Replenish grain and grass. At the same time, he sent Qian Xiangmin to go north first, rushed to Wutai Mountain, and went straight to Yanmen City.

Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang of course raised their hands to support the decision to let the already exhausted army rest for a while, but for Chen Yingliang's decision to replenish grain and grass in Qixian, Taigu and other places, Yuan Tiangang, Wei Zheng and others were a little puzzled, and asked Chen Yingliang: "Deputy envoy, our grain and grass can still support more than half a month, isn't it easier to replenish grain and grass in Taiyuan?" When the time comes, we will directly ask for official food from Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan County, so we don't need to pay out of our own pockets? ”

"Don't dream, the government in Taiyuan won't give us food." Chen Yingliang replied sullenly: "It's good if they don't deliberately drag me back, how can they give me food?" ”

"Why?" Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang were both shocked.

Chen Yingliang, who is quite a city government, had a gloomy face, and refused to answer this question with a calm face, and finally the eldest grandson Wuji replied for his brother-in-law: "Because we also heard from the Qi County government that Li Yuan, the ambassador of Hedong and Shanxi, has also come to Taiyuan County to organize the King of Soldiers and Horses, and he is in Taiyuan City at this moment. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji's face also lost expression, and he said directly: "Li Yuan has an enmity with me, and even more with his brother, and he is also in charge of the suppression of thieves and soldiers in the whole territory of Shanxi. ”

"This ......, can't it?" Wei Zheng said in surprise: "We are here to save King Qin, and Li Yuan, as the ambassador of Hedong and Shanxi, will also deliberately drag us back?" ”

"Even the benefactor who has been friends for two generations and saved the lives of his daughter and son-in-law, he can do it, what else can't he do?" Chen Yingliang and eldest grandson Wuji asked rhetorically in unison. Replenish grain and grass. At the same time, he sent Qian Xiangmin to go north first, rushed to Wutai Mountain, and went straight to Yanmen City.

Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang of course raised their hands to support the decision to let the already exhausted army rest for a while, but for Chen Yingliang's decision to replenish grain and grass in Qixian, Taigu and other places, Yuan Tiangang, Wei Zheng and others were a little puzzled, and asked Chen Yingliang: "Deputy envoy, our grain and grass can still support more than half a month, isn't it easier to replenish grain and grass in Taiyuan?" When the time comes, we will directly ask for official food from Jinyang Palace in Taiyuan County, so we don't need to pay out of our own pockets? ”

"Don't dream, the government in Taiyuan won't give us food." Chen Yingliang replied sullenly: "It's good if they don't deliberately drag me back, how can they give me food?" ”

"Why?" Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang were both shocked.

Chen Yingliang, who is quite a city government, had a gloomy face, and refused to answer this question with a calm face, and finally the eldest grandson Wuji replied for his brother-in-law: "Because we also heard from the Qi County government that Li Yuan, the ambassador of Hedong and Shanxi, has also come to Taiyuan County to organize the King of Soldiers and Horses, and he is in Taiyuan City at this moment. ”

Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji's face also lost expression, and he said directly: "Li Yuan has an enmity with me, and even more with his brother, and he is also in charge of the suppression of thieves and soldiers in the whole territory of Shanxi. ”

"This ......, can't it?" Wei Zheng said in surprise: "We are here to save King Qin, and Li Yuan, as the ambassador of Hedong and Shanxi, will also deliberately drag us back?" ”

"Even the benefactor who has been friends for two generations and saved the lives of his daughter and son-in-law, he can do it, what else can't he do?" Chen Yingliang and eldest grandson Wuji asked rhetorically in unison.
