Wearing heavy Mingguang armor and the iconic white cloak, leading Guo Feng and Chen Ci's two henchmen and lackeys, got on their horses and left the camp of the Baoguo Army.

It was noon, there were a lot of people and passers-by on the street, and there was just a team of people carrying the materials to defend the city, and the guards who escorted the materials plus the soldiers who patrolled back and forth, the streets of Luoyang, which were originally wide enough, were a little crowded, in order to let the vehicles full of materials for defending the city pass through the city, the soldiers who escorted the car even used leather whips, beat and scolded, and forced the people and passers-by to get out of the way, and had to swallow his anger to expel the people for the baggage team and clear the way forward.

In this case, it stands to reason that Chen Yingliang, who has no official position and no position, has to wait until the baggage team has passed before he can cross this must-pass street and go north to Anximen, but it is strange to say that seeing Chen Yingliang and others in white robes arriving on horseback, and seeing Chen Yingliang's still childish face, the Sui military captain who was in charge of escorting the baggage immediately jumped up like a chicken blood, and yelled while kicking the civilian soldiers with his feet, "Get way!" Way! The white-robed soldier is here! Chen Ji Room is here! The white-robed soldier's Chen Ji room is here, make way for him! ”

People shouted and neighed, chickens flew and dogs jumped, the heavy carriage, ox cart and wheelbarrow seemed to be pushed by some invisible big hand, and in less than a moment Chen Yingliang gave way to a straight road five or six steps wide, and the people and passers-by on both sides of the convoy were almost forced to stand against the wall, and the sentinels patrolling by and the Henan County officials simply opened their hands together and stopped the people behind them hand in hand.

There were no complaints, including those who had been whipped, and the passers-by stopped moaning, and all stretched their necks to look at Chen Yingliang, and the discussion was everywhere, "Who is Chen Ji's room?" What the? The kid in the middle is Chen Ji's room?! Really? He looks a few years younger than my son, how can it be the Chen Ji Room of the white-robed soldiers? ”

"He's Chen Ji's room? Oh, my God! Too young! I heard that he led hundreds of white-robed soldiers to enter and exit the ranks of hundreds of thousands of rebels, burned the grain and grass of the rebels, and killed tens of thousands of traitors! I heard that the corpses of traitors on the battlefield of Bishan are piled up higher than the capital of Bishan! He killed them all! ”

"I also heard that he is the reincarnation of Chen Qingzhi, the reincarnation of Chen Qingzhi who fought all the way from Jiangning to Luoyang City with seven thousand white-robed soldiers for more than eighty years, and my grandfather also sang a nursery rhyme about him.

Similar whispers and discussions came one after another, and the eyes that looked at Chen Yingliang were full of surprise, fear and admiration, although Guo Feng and Chen Ci still kept their chests straight, their faces still showed a smug look that could not be concealed, but the main party Chen Yingliang had a fever on his face, and thanked the Sui military captain who nodded at him: "Thank you General for giving way, but I don't have any urgent matters, your escort is a major matter for the imperial court, so you should go first." ”

"Chen Ji Room, don't be polite, you should go first." The captain of the Sui military academy was so excited that he stammered a little when he spoke, "It is the honor of the last general to be able to ...... and make way for Chen Ji's room, and it is also our honor." ”

Before the lieutenant's words fell, the brigade commander, team leader, and team deputy under his command had already nodded their heads again and again, and they all echoed the statement of their immediate boss -- it was an honor for his team to make way for Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang was a little embarrassed, so he had to bow his hand to the captain and the others and said: "In this case, then thank you to the general, the general continues to work hard, I will leave first." ”

The lieutenant hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and led a group of subordinates to see Chen Yingliang leave respectfully, and it was only after Chen Yingliang rode away that the lieutenant slapped his thigh and screamed in great annoyance: "Oops, I'm nervous, how can I forget the big thing?" I finally had a chance to talk to Chen Ji's room, and I should beg him to let me join the white-robed soldiers! It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

"General, there are only four regiments of white-robed soldiers, and all four regiments have captains, you used to be captains, is it impossible?"

"Fart! Who said I wanted to be a captain in the white robes? As long as you can enter the white-robed soldiers, Lao Tzu can be a small soldier! Follow Chen Ji's room to make more military exploits, and when Yang rebels are killed, Lao Tzu is still afraid that he will not be promoted? ! ”

Just so all the way unimpeded came to Anxi Gate, because of the enemy war, Anxi Gate is already under full martial law, the ramp leading to the city wall is heavily guarded, three steps and a post, five steps and a sentry, ordinary people just want to get close to within 20 steps are difficult, Chen Yingliang, who is already famous in Luoyang, does not want to give people an arrogant impression, very honestly restrained the war horse 20 steps away, but without waiting for Chen Yingliang to turn over and dismount, the Sui army brigade commander guarding the road to the city has already rushed up with an arrow, rushed to take the reins of Chen Yingliang's horse, and shouted: "Come on, get off the horse in Chen Ji's room." ”

"You don't have to, the general doesn't have to be polite." Chen Yingliang hurriedly declined the kindness of the brigade commander, grabbed the Sui soldiers to help him up and dismounted, and said to the brigade commander who nodded to him: "General, I heard about the incident last night, and I heard that the enemy situation was found outside the Anxi Gate today, and I want to go to the city to observe the enemy's movements, so please send someone to the city to inform Lord Yuan or General He, and ask them to allow me to go to the city." ”

"Chen Jiroom, aren't you embarrassing the villain?" The brigade commander smiled bitterly and said, "Others need to be repaid when they go to the city, but who are you?" The white-robed soldier's Chen Ji room! The first general of our right guard! You have to report to the city for instructions, General He has to slap me with a big ear! The last will tie your horse to you, so please go up to the city. ”

"General, don't say that, the first general of the Right Martial Guard is even more afraid to be, but I am not even old enough to join the Right Guard." Chen Yingliang hurriedly waved his hand modestly and said sincerely: "This general, military law is like a mountain, I am not a soldier of the defending army of Anximen, I have no pass token or official document in my hand, I am not performing official duties, without the permission of Lord Yuan or General He, I am not qualified to go directly to the city, and I also ask the general to work hard and send someone to report to General He or Lord Yuan." ”

Seeing Chen Yingliang's resolute attitude, the brigade commander did not dare to disobey, and honestly sent people to the city to find Yuan Wendu or Helan Yi, who was guarding Anximen, to report the matter, but unfortunately he was also unfortunate by the words of this unlucky brigade marshal, and in less than a moment, the tiger Benlang with black circles on his face rushed He Lanyi down from the city wall, and without saying a word at the scene, he immediately slapped the brigade commander in the face, and then kicked him to the ground, roaring: "Blind your mother's dog eyes!" Who is Brother Ying Liang? He went up to the city wall to inspect the enemy, and he still needs to ask me for permission not to go to the city? Go to the military judge and let him whip you twenty lashes! ”

The unlucky brigade commander almost didn't cry, Chen Yingliang hurriedly saluted Helan Yi and said: "General He, don't blame him, I asked him to send someone to ask you for instructions, junior brother, I have no official or position, and I don't go to the city because of official business, regardless of military law, you must obtain the consent of General He or Lord Yuan, this general acts according to law, meritorious and innocent, and also asks General He to be extrajudicial and exempt from his whipping." ”

"So it's Brother Yingliang, what do you mean? Forget it, twenty lashes are free. Sparing the relieved brigade commander, Helan Yi picked up Chen Yingliang and left, "Brother Yingliang, go to the city quickly, you came just in time, Yang Rebel's team happened to be messing around outside the city, come and help my brother and see what the hell Yang rebel is planning to do." ”

was dragged up to the city wall by He Lanyi, many Sui soldiers came over to salute Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang returned the salute one by one, but He Lanyi unceremoniously kicked a group of subordinates away, pulled Chen Yingliang to the edge of the city wall, pointed to the distance outside the city and said: "Brother Yingliang, look, the team of thieves is over there." ”

Looking in the direction due north pointed out by He Lanyi, Chen Yingliang first saw a rebel team sitting on the ground, with a strength of about five or six thousand people, and the equipment was obviously much better than the rebel team encountered by the Baoguo Army before, and it was obviously the main force of the rebel army. And behind this team of soldiers, there are groups of chaotic militia auxiliaries, desperately cutting down trees and building equipment, but the distance is too far, Chen Yingliang, who does not have a telescope in his hand, can't see what equipment the rebels are building, and can only guess that it should be a siege weapon.

Observing the enemy situation in the distance, Chen Yingliang asked He Lanyi casually: "General He, what was the situation last night, can you tell the junior brother in detail?" ”

"Don't be a general, just call me Lao He." Helan Yi also deliberately flattered Chen Yingliang, pretending to wave his hand boldly, and then said: "That's the case, after the main force of the traitors returned from Bishan to Jinyong City yesterday, we thought that Yang Yi would have to rest for a day or two before attacking the city, who knew that it was only halfway through the first shift last night, and a group of thieves came to Anximen, beating gongs and drums, shouting to attack the city, which frightened Lord Yuan to hurry up to prepare for war, but after our brothers were ready to defend the city, the group of traitors immediately slipped away. ”

"And then we will suffer." Helan Yi sighed and said: "Then every half an hour, there is a group of thieves to the city so frightened, beating gongs and drums and shouting, every time we are shocked that our Anximen team gets up from the bed and puts on armor to prepare for battle, but every time the thieves are noisy and leave, never launched a siege of the city, so that we can't even sleep well, originally I said to let the brothers sleep in peace, but Lord Yuan was afraid that the traitors would suddenly come to the truth, so he forced us to get up every time and guard, and we were not allowed to disarm. And we have to open one eye when we fall asleep, which is a miserable toss for the brothers. ”

"Believe it or not." Helan Yi pointed to the dark circles under her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I may not have slept for an hour last night, but this morning I finally squinted for a while, and the brigade of thieves came again, and the result was like this, and the brothers thought that I had ink on my face." ”

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother He." Chen Yingliang comforted, and then said with a smile: "But Brother He, it's not you who are the only ones who suffer this crime, I won't tell you, junior brother, I was also awakened several times last night, and the traitor made too much noise, and I also heard it in the Jiaoye Workshop." ”

"General He, the four regiments we reported **** took turns to sleep last night." Guo Feng interjected and said: "Chen Ci and I slept in the first half of the night with two regiments, and Chen Zhihong and Zhao Yu slept in the second half of the night with the other two regiments, just to prevent the traitors from suddenly attacking the city, and they are ready to come to Anximen to help you at any time." ”

"Really? Thank you so much. Helan Yi was overjoyed, arched his hands and said very affectionately: "Thank you brothers, please drink another day to thank you, if the traitor comes to do this again tonight, please continue to take turns to sleep, ready to come over to help at any time." ”

Guo Feng and Chen Ci's level is a big difference from Helan Yi, seeing that He Lanyi took the initiative to salute and plead, he was flattered and hurriedly returned the salute to Helan Yi, and agreed, but Chen Yingliang remained silent and said: "Brother He, not if, yes, the traitor's manpower is too sufficient, and arranging thousands of people to take turns to harass us is just a trivial matter for Yang Rebel, and you got up every time last night to prepare for battle, which also proves that this tired tactic is indeed effective, so I can conclude that Yang Rebel will definitely repeat his old trick tonight, Constant harassment again. ”
