After grinding for a long time, the shelf was placed higher than Yang Guang, until Liu Changgong, who was short-tempered and had a tough family background, became angry and roared and asked Xiao Huaijing if he deliberately refused to read the holy decree? Li Yuan also whispered that Liu Changgong was born in Feng Yi Liu's family, Xiao Huaijing didn't dare to talk to Liu Changgong at this time, and honestly opened the holy decree and read it out in public, completely ending his only power in front of Chen Yingliang.

The content of the decree is similar to Xiao Huaijing's oral introduction, which is to announce the acceptance of negotiations with the Turkic army, requiring Chen Yingliang to temporarily stop attacking the Turkic army, and not to attack the Turks without a will, and at the same time requiring Chen Yingliang to lead the army of King Qin to stand by, always maintain pressure on the Turkic army, and be ready to go north to meet Emperor Yang of Sui's Luan. In addition, Emperor Yang of Sui naturally had to praise Chen Yingliang fiercely in the holy decree, and also explained that Chen Yingliang would be severely rewarded after the success of the carrying.

Finally listened to Xiao Huaijing shaking his head and reciting the holy decree, Chen Yingliang first led King Qin to salute respectfully and thank him, and then immediately ordered the Turkic envoy Ashina Gu Lulu to be invited to the Chinese army marshal's tent, announcing to him that the Great Sui Imperial Court had started peace talks with the Turkic army, and he also allowed Gu Lulu to return to the Turkic camp at any time, and at the same time Chen Yingliang said to Gu Lulu very politely: "Duke Gu Lu, please report back to Shibi Khan, in order to avoid misunderstanding and conflict, before the end of the peace talks, I will restrain the officers and men of the army not to cross the range of ten miles north of the camp, and I also ask the officers and men of your army not to cross the range of ten miles to the south, if the officers and men of our army exceed this range, your army can deal with our cross-border soldiers at will. If your soldiers cross the line, ....... ”

"If our officers and soldiers cross the line, your army can also deal with it at will, and our army will never interfere." Gu Dulu took the initiative to take over the conversation and said very respectfully: "Please rest assured that Marquis Chen, we will also try our best to restrain the soldiers in the army, and do our best to avoid misunderstandings and accidental conflicts until the end of the peace talks." ”

Chen Yingliang nodded, and said: "It's okay, Duke Gululu, now that you are free, I have also asked people to prepare your mount for you, if you want, you can leave now." ”

Chen Yingliang opened this mouth, and before the person in question could speak, Xiao Huaijing, who was unwilling to take a break, had already preemptively said: "Chen Dashuai, your master is too ruthless, right?" In any case, Duke Gu Lulu is a guest of our Great Sui army, and there is a reason in the world for the master to drive the guests away? Why do you have to do some landlord friendship, set up a banquet to entertain Duke Gu Lulu, and then personally send Duke Gu Lu out of the camp, so as to show the hospitality of our Great Sui officials, right? ”

Chen Yingliang glanced at Xiao Huaijing, and said very unceremoniously and coldly: "Doctor Xiao, I am the commander of the Qinwang Army personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, how to treat the guests is my freedom, you don't seem to have the right to interfere, right?" ”

"Yes, I have no right to interfere." Xiao Huaijing was not to be outdone, and said: "But this Duke of Gu Lulu is not only an envoy from a neighboring country, but also the number one contributor to the peace talks between the Great Sui and the Turks, and is our friend, how can you treat our friend so coldly?" ”

"Your friend?" Chen Yingliang sneered and said with a smile: "Doctor Xiao, you said this yourself, colleagues, you have also heard it, Doctor Xiao was a friend of the Turkic Duke just now." Now that we have only temporarily stopped fighting with the Turkic army, there is no real truce, and our Emperor Majesty is still besieged by the Turks in Yanmen City, Dr. Xiao can't wait to treat the Turkic Duke as a friend, it seems that Dr. Xiao thinks that it doesn't matter whether the Emperor is still under siege, as long as Duke Gu Lulu regards him as a friend. ”

"Chen Dashuai, how can you talk like that?" Xiao Huaijing's face turned white, and she hurriedly shouted: "You are chasing after the wind and shadows, looking at the text and righteousness, using strong words and reasoning, framing slander, I ......, I ......, I want to ask the emperor to make the decision for me." ”

"Doctor Xiao, then you go." Liu Changgong, who had long seen Xiao Huaijing's displeasure, also spoke, and said angrily: "Anyway, I heard it with my own ears just now, the emperor is still surrounded by Turkic troops, not only do you treat the Turks as friends now, but also force Brother Ying Liang to treat the Turks as friends, you go and ask Your Majesty to be the master, I will go to testify to Brother Ying Liang." I want to see if His Majesty the Emperor thinks you are doing the right thing, or if you think Brother Ying Liang is doing the right thing. ”

Xiao Huaijing was speechless, and her face became even more ugly, fortunately, Ashina Gu Lulu could barely understand a few words of Chinese, and saw that Xiao Huaijing and Chen Yingliang had a conflict over their own affairs, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Marquis Chen, Doctor Xiao, don't argue, the Khan is still waiting for my reply, I'd better go back and report to him about the negotiation matter." Leave. ”

"The duke walks slowly, and we will meet again." Chen Yingliang didn't stay, and arranged a few soldiers to escort Gu Lulu out of the camp, and then Chen Yingliang looked at Xiao Huaijing, who was sulking next to him, and then said: "Doctor Xiao came from afar to spread the edict hard, and he must have been frightened a lot in Yanmen City. Generals, don't be in a hurry to go, accompany Dr. Xiao, and we will also celebrate by the way that the grain and grass will be sent into Yanmen City, Your Majesty will not have to suffer from hunger and thirst, and I wish the Emperor His Majesty good health and safe escape. ”

Chen Fuliang, who is usually so reluctant to even drink a glass of wine that he picks the door, is rare and generous, of course the generals of the Sui army will not refuse, Xiao Huaijing, who has been starving a lot during this time, is also very happy, and said that there are any delicacies from the mountains and seas that can be supplemented, so it is rare to sincerely thank Chen Yingliang. However, Liu Changgong, who usually likes to eat and drink, made a fuss, and felt that Xiao Huaijing was unpleasant and didn't want to drink this glass of wine, so he had to say goodbye, and Chen Yingliang would certainly not force his good brother Liu Changgong in normal times, but today for some reasons, Chen Yingliang rarely insisted on keeping Liu Changgong once, so that Liu Changgong could sit down and accompany Xiao Huaijing to drink.

Xiao Huaijing soon found that he shouldn't thank Chen Yingliang, because the wine and food sent by Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers were really poor, only one meat dish was the cheapest sauce boiled pork, and there were only two vegetarian dishes, a plate of pickled radish and a bowl of boiled wild vegetables, and the wine was even more excessive, it turned out to be a pot of two or two village brewed light wine, and there was only one pot in front of each person. Seeing such simple wine and food, Uncle Xiao Guo, who was accustomed to brocade clothes and jade food, was a little angry, and couldn't help but say: "Chen Dashuai, this is your handsome tent feast?" Why can't I even catch up with my family's wine and food? ”

Chen Yingliang didn't bother to pay attention to him, but the Yin World Master said: "Doctor Xiao, you are right, this is Chen Dashuai's handsome tent banquet, usually Chen Dashuai eats worse than this, and it is exactly the same as the meal of ordinary soldiers." Also, we have been treated preferentially, at least there is wine to drink, the wine jug in front of Chen Dashuai is filled with water, if you don't believe it, you can smell it yourself. ”

Uncle Xiao Guo rolled his eyes, and scolded in his heart that he was worthy of being a poor boy who picked vegetables and leaves to make porridge and drink, and he also regretted accepting Chen Yingliang's invitation to stay here to eat—he knew that it was better to say goodbye directly and go to the camp of Ambassador Li, who was a brother-in-law, to eat, and the food there must be different from here. Chen Yingliang didn't pay attention to Uncle Xiao Xiao's painful appearance of not being able to swallow at all, he waited for the wine with water, and raised his glass just to wish Emperor Yang of Sui Emperor Long good health and safe escape, and then Uncle Xiao Guo had no choice but to pour the village-brewed light wine that was more sour than vinegar into his stomach - and almost didn't spit it out on the spot.

Next, Uncle Xiao Guo looked forward to ending this painful banquet as soon as possible and went to the camp where he was cousin-in-law to eat and drink spicy, but Chen Yingliang kept asking Uncle Xiao Guo about the various situations in Yanmen City with great interest, and the questions were very detailed and time-consuming, and Uncle Xiao Xiao, who had lost his power to restrain Chen Yingliang, could only answer them one by one, while eating Chen Yingliang's crude wine and food painfully, while accepting Chen Yingliang's various interrogations, and from time to time he had to answer other questions from other Sui army generals, and the pain was like hell, And after Chen Yingliang found that the wine and food in front of everyone was almost there, he hurriedly gave a look to the captain of the army, Sangouzi, and asked him to act according to the plan.

At this time, Uncle Xiao Guo had already finished eating the simple wine and food in pain, and then hurriedly said: "Chen Dashuai, you are full of wine and food, and the lower officials dare not disturb you to deal with military affairs, so it is time to leave." If the marshal doesn't mind, the lower officials want to live in Ambassador Li's camp, I don't know if it's possible? ”

"Doctor Xiao, what's the hurry?" Chen Yingliang raised the wine glass filled with water and said with a smile: "Doctor Xiao, we also forgot to wish the queen mother a healthy body, come, we ......." ”

Chen Yingliang couldn't go on when he said this, his eyes still looked outside the tent of the Chinese army, Uncle Xiao Guo and the generals of the Sui army followed Chen Yingliang's gaze, but saw a herald came to the outside of the tent, and was killing chickens and wiping his neck in front of the tent to make eye movements, but did not say a word. When everyone thought it was strange, Chen Yingliang's personal soldier captain Sangouzi had already walked quickly in front of him and asked about the situation in a low voice, and the herald hurriedly came to Sangouzi's ear and muttered in a low voice, and then Sangouzi immediately exclaimed, "Really? Are you sure not? ”

The herald nodded, and the three dogs were even more shocked, and hurriedly waved him away, and then quickly returned to the tent, and came to Chen Yingliang's ear and muttered quickly, Chen Yingliang began to look disappreciative, and then his face changed suddenly, and the wine glass with clear water in his hand also slammed to the ground, looking depressed. Yin Shishi and other Sui army generals saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Dashuai, what's wrong?" ”

Chen Yingliang didn't answer, suddenly grabbed the wine jug in front of him, and smashed it on the ground in front of him, startling everyone, before jumping up and yelling: "We have been tricked!" My inner line on the Turkic side just sent urgent news that the so-called negotiation of peace by the Turkic thief chief is actually a plan to hide a knife in a smile! The purpose is to dissipate the morale of the soldiers of our Qinwang army, let us take precautions, expose flaws, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack our camp at night and break our Qinwang army in one fell swoop! ”

"What?!" The generals of the Sui army were all taken aback, and they all stood up and exclaimed, "Is the Turkic peace request fake? Is it to make us take it lightly and then take the opportunity to sneak up on us? ”

"That's right!" Chen Yingliang said angrily: "The first thief chief sued for peace, but he found that our battle ability was too strong, and it was difficult to win in frontal combat, so he arranged this poisonous plan, wanting to annihilate our Qinwang coalition army at the lowest cost!" ”

The generals of the Sui army were dumbfounded, and then Li Yuan was the first to come back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Chen Dashuai, you just said that the Turkic inner line, you have an internal line in the Turkic army?" ”

Chen Yingliang nodded, and then explained: "It's not that I deliberately planted it, it's that there is a Turkic general who is dissatisfied with the Shibi Thief Chieftain who took the initiative to contact me and volunteered to act as an inside line for us and secretly provide me with Turkic information. ”

"Who's this insider?" Li Yuan hurriedly asked, "Is he reliable?" ”

"Absolutely reliable, I also know the reason why he betrayed the Shibi Thief Chief, he is a reliable person." Chen Yingliang nodded, and said, "But who this person is, I can't say yet." ”

"Oh no, will this Turkic insider leak my situation to Chen Yingliang's thief?" Li Yuan complained bitterly in his heart.

"Chen Dashuai, you can't joke about this." Uncle Xiao Guo trembled, "We have just begun to negotiate peace with the Turks, how can the Turkic army tear up the peace negotiations and attack us immediately?" ”

"Yes, Chen Dashuai, this is a little unlikely, right?" Yun Dingxing was also surprised and asked: "Duke Eliver, the younger brother of the Shibi Thief Chief, is still in our hands, and the Shibi Thief Chief has no faith in sneaking up on us, don't want his brother's life?" ”

"The Thief Chief doesn't care about his brother's life or death!" Chen Yingliang replied: "The Thief Chief is not only a brother like Eliver, he also has a son, so why do you need to care about such a younger brother?" If you don't believe in the words, you can sneak up on us, of course, it's best to save his brother, and what is the loss of him if he can't be saved? The big deal is to marry a large group of daughters-in-law of his second brother to his third brother, and the beautiful Shibi thief chief can still stay by himself, what can he lose? ”

Yun Dingxing was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that Bi Khan really didn't care about his younger brother's life or death - just like the old general Yun could instigate Emperor Yang of Sui to kill his three grandsons in order to get promoted and make a fortune. The other generals of the Sui army also nodded one after another, agreeing with Chen Yingliang's analysis, but Uncle Xiao Guo, who did not belong to King Qin's army, was suspicious, and said: "Chen Dashuai, who are you as an insider?" Is it reliable? Is the news he provided true or false, and if we resume war with the Turks because of a piece of news, once the emperor is to blame, how can we explain to His Majesty? ”

"If Dr. Xiao thinks this news is unreliable, I can also take precautions." Chen Yingliang said coldly: "Doctor Xiao, didn't you just ask to live in Ambassador Li's Taiyuan military camp?" To tell you the truth, the Turkic army is going to launch a sneak attack on our camp tonight, and the breakthrough point chosen is the Taiyuan Qinwang army camp in the northwest corner of our army's camp, you will bear the brunt of living there, if you don't want to believe my intelligence, you can immediately go to the Taiyuan Qinwang army camp to rest and spend the night. ”

Uncle Xiao Guo closed his mouth with a pale face, but Yang Xuan, the king of Qi, who had not spoken before, suddenly showed ecstasy, got up and said: "Great, if this news is true, it will be too beneficial to us, we can immediately set up an ambush in Ambassador Li's camp and severely damage the Turkic sneak attack army." When the time comes, it will be the Turks who take the initiative to attack us, and even if we resume the war, we can explain it in front of our father. ”

Yang Jian's reminder, the generals of the Sui army, who were worried about the resumption of the war and the impact of the peace talks, nodded one after another, and said that it was good, we set a trap to ambush the Turkic army, it was the Turkic army that attacked us first, and we were forced to defend ourselves, not to disobey the will, and Chen Yingliang was not polite, he dispatched troops on the spot, using Li Yuan's Taiyuan army camp as a trap, arranged a trap to meet the Turkic sneak attack army, and arranged the tasks in place one by one, and then the Sui army generals asked about the time of the Turkic army's dispatch and the time of the sneak attack, Chen Yingliang hesitated, Then he replied categorically: "The Turks are the third watch out of the camp to the south, the people are ranked, the horses are hoofed, and the fourth watch is attacking our camp!" If the Turkic progress is smooth, it is also possible to start some time in advance, but it must be after the third and second quarters. ”

Seeing that Chen Yingliang had even found out the time for the Turkic army to send troops, the generals of the Sui army no longer had any doubts, and immediately clenched their fists and sang a promise, and immediately went down to organize the army to arrange an ambush according to Chen Yingliang's request, while Chen Yingliang left Liu Changgong and the second general of the Yin World Division, and then ordered Liu Changgong: "Brother Liu, you immediately send a regiment to the north ten miles to set up a road sign and boundary sign, don't tell them about the situation that the Turks are going to sneak attack us tonight, just let them know that they must not cross that boundary board." Again, just find an excuse and give them some wine and meat, and let them take it there to drink and eat meat. ”

"Brother Yingliang, why did you do this?" Liu Changgong asked suspiciously.

"Of course, it's a show of weakness." Chen Yingliang replied: "If we are too vigilant and the Turkic side temporarily changes the time of sending troops, then won't our soldiers have to work hard for another night in vain?" ”

Liu Changgong suddenly realized, and hurriedly clenched his fists and led the order, and then Chen Yingliang turned to the Yin Shishi again, and explained in a low voice: "Yin Taishou, you make arrangements tonight, after the Turkic army sneaks up on us in ambush, you try your best to catch a Turkic living mouth with enough identity, and you really can't catch an ordinary soldier, and then take the prisoner to the dark place and let him go, and tell him that the reason why we have prepared in advance, and also know their march route and breakthrough, is because there is a general of sufficient weight on the Turkic side who secretly rebelled, Quietly leaked the Turkic military information to us, and asked him to bring the news back to the Shibi Thief Chieftain, so that the Shibi Thief Chief could find out this traitor and eliminate the trouble. ”

"Why?" The Yin Shi Master was taken aback.

"Don't ask why for now, I'll tell you tomorrow for the specific reason." Chen Yingliang said in a deep voice: "In short, please believe me, I am doing this for the sake of the Great Sui and His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The Yin World Master stared at Chen Yingliang for a while before nodding, and then asked, "There is another question, in whose capacity do I report to the Turks?" Ambassador Lee? ”

Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment, and almost wanted to agree, but considering that it was too immoral to do so, and at the same time, it would also make the upright Yin World Master despise himself, Chen Yingliang said: "Just use the identity of a mysterious person who is friendly to the Shibi Thief Chief, don't use the banner of Ambassador Li, although Ambassador Li has an enmity with me, but after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he is still dutiful in this Qinwang War, and he does such a thing under his banner, if he really recruits the Turks to contact Ambassador Li, then it will be a big trouble." ”

Yin Shishi smiled, nodded, and then smiled again and said, "Chen Dashuai, the lower officials are really convinced of you." Do you know that if you were in another situation with Ambassador Li, I believe that Ambassador Li would not hesitate to do such a thing under your banner, and first frame you for the capital crime of secretly working with the Turks. ”

Chen Yingliang also smiled, and smiled bitterly, and said with a smile: "I also believe that he will do this, but there is no way, he is him, I am me, I can't do what he does." "The Turks are alive, and it is really impossible to catch an ordinary soldier, and then take that captive to a dark place and let him go, and tell him that the reason why we have prepared in advance and know their advance route and breakthrough is because there is a general of sufficient weight on the Turkic side who secretly rebelled and quietly leaked the Turkic military information to us, and asked him to bring the news back to the Shibi Thief Chief, so that the Shibi Thief Chief can find out this traitor and eliminate the trouble."

"Why?" The Yin Shi Master was taken aback.

"Don't ask why for now, I'll tell you tomorrow for the specific reason." Chen Yingliang said in a deep voice: "In short, please believe me, I am doing this for the sake of the Great Sui and His Majesty the Emperor." ”

The Yin World Master stared at Chen Yingliang for a while before nodding, and then asked, "There is another question, in whose capacity do I report to the Turks?" Ambassador Lee? ”

Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment, and almost wanted to agree, but considering that it was too immoral to do so, and at the same time, it would also make the upright Yin World Master despise himself, Chen Yingliang said: "Just use the identity of a mysterious person who is friendly to the Shibi Thief Chief, don't use the banner of Ambassador Li, although Ambassador Li has an enmity with me, but after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and he is still dutiful in this Qinwang War, and he does such a thing under his banner, if he really recruits the Turks to contact Ambassador Li, then it will be a big trouble." ”

Yin Shishi smiled, nodded, and then smiled again and said, "Chen Dashuai, the lower officials are really convinced of you." Do you know that if you were in another situation with Ambassador Li, I believe that Ambassador Li would not hesitate to do such a thing under your banner, and first frame you for the capital crime of secretly working with the Turks. ”

Chen Yingliang also smiled, and smiled bitterly, and said with a smile: "I also believe that he will do this, but there is no way, he is him, I am me, I can't do what he does." ”
