Chapter 482: Becoming a Wicked Man in Vain
Li Jiancheng was still on his way back to the camp, and the news came from the Taiyuan army camp first, saying that the people of Li Er's headquarters led by Zhu Cang and Liang Jianfang suddenly gathered in front of the east camp of the Taiyuan army, claiming that they had received an order from Li Erjun to listen to the order outside the Dingyang military camp and asked to leave the camp from the east gate, while Yin Kaishan and Wang and others who stayed in the camp did not dare to make their own decisions without Li Jiancheng's order, so they could only temporarily prohibit Zhu Cang and Liang Jianfang and other henchmen from leaving the camp, and at the same time send people to ask Li Jiancheng for instructions.

If it weren't for the fact that there were other outsiders watching and delaying on the sidelines, Li Jiancheng would definitely rather fight a civil war than take down the second brother's headquarters, and also cut Zhu Cang and Liang Jianfang and other Li Er's henchmen with a thousand knives and executed Ling Chi! But now it can't be done, not to mention that Chen Fuliang, the enemy who killed his father, is still not far away, and there is no room for civil strife within the Taiyuan army, even the Dingyang army will never agree to Li Jiancheng to detain Li Er's headquarters, and the slightest carelessness may lead to the turn of the allies. So after thinking about it and hesitating again and again, Li Jiancheng still yelled loudly: "Let them go!" The farther you roll, the better! β
I had never seen the gentle Li Jiancheng so angry, and the heralds sent by Yin Kaishan and Wang and others hurriedly rushed back to the east gate of the Taiyuan Army to give an order, allowing Li Er's headquarters to leave. Li Jiancheng hit his horse straight back to the camp of his own army with a blue face, and after striding into his big tent of the Chinese army, Li Jiancheng also kicked over the table in the tent again, and sat down on the handsome seat with a butt and sulked, his face was so hideous that the guards in the tent refused to even take a breath.
In the end, it was only after Yin Kaishan, Wang and Yang Wengan and others entered the tent that there was a voice in the big tent of the Chinese army, but Yin Kaishan and the others were obviously a little flustered, and they couldn't take a closer look at Li Jiancheng's expression and asked anxiously: "Zuo Dudu, what's wrong?" Why did the Right Governor move his troops out of the camp at night? How did we not know about this beforehand? β
Li Jiancheng was silent, his face became even more gloomy and terrifying, Yin Kaishan and the others finally saw that the situation was wrong, and after glancing at each other in surprise, Wang asked cautiously: "Zuo Dudu, what happened?" Why is your face so ugly? β
"I have a good brother!" Li Jiancheng finally spoke, and sighed loudly: "Brother Ying Liangxian is really a wise man, and he is a prophecy, my good brother is really not a good person!" β
After a long sigh, Li Jiancheng said a rough story about the experience of himself and Li Er's envoy to Dingyang Jun, but Yin Kaishan and Wang and others were more and more stunned the more they listened, and the more they listened, the more they felt unbelievable, and finally heard Li Er's disguised threat to let Dingyang Jun detain Li Jiancheng, Yin Kaishan and Yang Wengan, the two generals, suddenly had their hair, and both roared angrily: "Rebellion!" Li Shimin is rebellious! Eat inside and out! Cannibalism! β
Roaring, Yang Wengan, who was furious, immediately bowed his hand to Li Jiancheng and said: "Governor Zuo, please let the last general lead the army out of the camp and capture Li Shimin's traitor for you!" β
Li Jiancheng glanced up at Yang Wengan, looked at his bloodshot eyes with anger and asked with a wry smile: "What if Dingyang Jun starts a war with us because of this?" What should we do if we merge with Dingyang and Chen Yingliang also take the opportunity to send troops? β
Yang Wengan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he must not turn his face with Ding Yang Jun now, otherwise it would only be in vain to cheapen Chen Fuliang, who was looking at the Dongwu River, and after coming back to his senses, Yang Wengan hurriedly asked Li Jiancheng again: "Governor Zuo, what should I do?" We can't really let the Dingyang thief army enter Taiyuan City, right? This is easy to send God, let the Dingyang thief army enter Taiyuan City, and if you want to drive them away in the future, it will be extremely difficult. β
Li Jiancheng was silent again, now Li Jiancheng still hopes to regret it, and he can immediately withdraw to Taiyuan City with his own army, and at the same time reneged on his promise and refused to let Dingyang's army enter the city, but in this way, in addition to definitely turning against Liu Wuzhou, it will definitely make another ally Dou Jiande and potential ally Luo Yi jealous, and refuse to send reinforcements to the Taiyuan army, making the Taiyuan army even more difficult to support, and there is no way to resist Chen Fuliang's butcher's knife. In addition, as long as there is a slight mistake in the hasty retreat and is forced to fight the angry Dingyang army, then the consequences will only be even more unimaginable.
Li Jiancheng, who was a little weak in his bones by Li Eryan, thought about it for a while, hesitated again and again, and finally said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, and we can only drink another glass of wine to quench our thirst." Anyway, if Chen Yingliang can't be defeated, we don't let Dingyang Army enter Taiyuan City, if Chen Yingliang can be repulsed, then there is Changle King Dou Jiande to rely on, with his help, there is no need to be too jealous of Liu Wuzhou to take the opportunity to start. β
Yin Kaishan and Wang were silent, and Yang Wengan gritted his teeth, but they all knew that Li Jiancheng's choice was forced to be helpless and the lesser of many harms, so they could only swallow their anger and accept Li Jiancheng's decision. Li Jiancheng first ordered the army to immediately start arranging the camp and retreating, preparing to abandon the camp and withdraw to the city with the Dingyang army at the third watch, and then sent people back to the city to contact Pei Lian, Feng Li and others, so that they could prepare to respond, and then Li Jiancheng said in his heart: "With the character of the second brother, after arriving in Yuci, I will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to contact Dou Jiande first, and preemptively curry favor with Dou Jiande and establish friendship with him, how should I deal with this?" β
When Li Jiancheng was thinking nervously, the officers and soldiers of the Taiyuan Army were also hurriedly preparing to withdraw from the camp, when the change was born, a guard suddenly rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army, and presented a Tang newspaper with chicken feathers to Li Jiancheng with both hands, and said loudly: "Yu Dadu, the emergency Tang report just sent by Jingcheng Pass, the messenger fainted as soon as he entered the camp, so the villain reported it on his behalf." β
"The Tang newspaper sent by Jing Chengguan? Dou Jiande's reinforcements are coming? Li Jiancheng quickly raised his head, a glimmer of hope was rekindled in his almost dead chest, and when he quickly took the Tang Bao and opened it quickly, Li Jiancheng was so nervous and excited that his hands couldn't help but tremble, but when he finally opened the Tang Bao to take a closer look, Li Jiancheng was completely stunned, so distracted that he didn't even notice that the Tang Bao in his hand had landed.
"Governor Zuo, what's going on?" Wang, who was helping Li Jiancheng to pack up the paperwork in the tent, hurriedly asked.
Li Jiancheng was silent again, and after a long time, Li Jiancheng suddenly picked up the Tang newspaper and stood up, and said expressionlessly: "Prepare a horse for me, I will go to the Dingyang army camp again!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
It's time to go back and take a look at the situation in the Dingyang Army camp, after Li Jiancheng left the Dingyang Army camp in despair, Li Er, who betrayed his brother to seek glory, was naturally drowned in the great enthusiasm of the generals of the Dingyang Army, out of appreciation and gratitude to Li Er, Liu Wuzhou not only immediately sent someone to Li Er to prepare the promised thousand war horses, but also called Liu Xiaoyan, the baby sister who was promised to Li Er, to the big tent of the Chinese army, so that she could meet her fiancΓ© Li Er again. As a result, Liu Xiaoyan, who had fallen asleep and was woken up, was already very unhappy, and when he saw that Li Er was also in the tent, the expression on Liu Xiaoyan's beautiful little face was naturally even more ugly, and he asked Liu Wuzhou directly: "Brother, say something quickly, I'm sleepy, and I have to go back to sleep." β
"Little sister, I'm sorry, you can't rest tonight." Liu Wuzhou said with a smile: "We are going to move to Taiyuan City overnight, so you can't sleep tonight, you want to rest, wait until you enter Taiyuan City, prepare a good city house for your brother, and arrange a few more maids to serve you to rest." β
"We're going into town?" Liu Xiaoyan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, didn't you say before that Li Jiancheng was stingy and didn't want us to enter the city?" β
"It's all thanks to Erlang." Liu Wuzhou smiled very happily, pointed to Li Er who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "It was Erlang who persuaded his brother to agree to us to enter the city and station, Erlang was not afraid of violence, and volunteered to lead an army to move to Yuci, and form horns with us, and contain the main force of Chen Thief for us from the periphery." Little sister, how about it, the husband I chose for my brother for you is a rare hero, right? Jiro, Jiro, you're leaving soon, if you have anything to say, say to my sister quickly. β
When answering with Liu Wuzhou, Liu Xiaoyan deliberately never glanced at Li Er, but Li Er kept looking at Liu Xiaoyan, admiring her beautiful state when she was just woken up, as well as ******** wonderful figure, and then thinking that it would not be long before she could legally and reasonably hold such a bewitching little beauty in her arms and wantonly invade and possess her, Li Er, who had not touched a woman for a long time, inevitably itched a lot in his heart, and he just wished that tonight was the candle night in the cave room between himself and Liu Xiaoyan, and now he could press this little beauty under him.
Thinking of this, Li Er was still a little distracted for a while, so it wasn't until Liu Wuzhou opened his mouth to call that Li Er came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted Liu Xiaoyan, and said very gracefully: "Sister Xiaoyan, the foolish brother is about to lead the army to Yuci to station, and the next time we meet, we must wait until after defeating the Chen thief, you have to take care." β
Glancing at Li Er with great contempt, Liu Xiaoyan showed some smiles as delicate as flowers, and Li Er, who had never gotten any good face in front of Liu Xiaoyan, was in full bloom, but he didn't think that Liu Xiaoyan's lips moved, and suddenly squirted venom, and said with a smile: "Maybe it's not big, you want to meet me again, you come back alive first." β
Li Er's expression was sluggish, but Liu Wuzhou immediately shouted: "Little eyes, what nonsense are you talking about?" Erlang's expedition is imminent, don't say unlucky words! β
"Am I talking nonsense?" Liu Xiaoyan sneered and said, "Haven't you seen the performance of this Li Erlang on the battlefield in the past two days, brother?" Didn't Uncle Li beat him up and run for his life in embarrassment? Even Uncle Li can't beat him, do you still want him to contain Chen Yingliang's main force? With his little ability, when he met Chen Yingliang, he was afraid that it would not be so easy to escape. β
Liu Wuzhou and Li Erlang's expressions were extremely embarrassed together, and they couldn't find anything to refute Liu Xiaoyan, but Liu Xiaoyan yawned again and said: "What do you say that Chen thief must first send a messenger to divide every battle, and say that you want to find Chen thief to settle old accounts and new accounts, I don't bother to listen to these bragging, enter the city, right?" Okay, I'll go back and prepare. β
After that, Liu Xiaoyan really turned around and left, but Li Er couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Sister Xian, please wait a moment, since Sister Xian, you think that Brother Fool is an incompetent person to brag, then Brother Fool will give you another promise, within three days of moving to Yuci, Brother will definitely bring you good news, at least a victory will be a battle to hit Chen Yingliang's husband!" β
With his back to Li Er, Liu Xiaoyan covered his mouth and smiled, laughing so happily that he said, "Do you think I will still believe it?" Also, I heard that you are also a son of a family, is it good to be a little educated? Chen Yingliang is polite and personable, don't scold people and traitors behind his back at every turn, no matter how ugly the scolding is, can it hurt one of his hair? β
Jiao smiled, Liu Xiaoyan would not leave with his head held high, leaving Li Er gritting his teeth in place, and constantly roaring in his heart, "I have never had the opportunity to face off with Chen Thief, either my father or brother tied my hands and feet, or the disparity in strength is too far to fight!" I don't believe it this time, Chen Yingliang and the traitor can still be left in Taiyuan and personally bring the main force to beat me! Who else in the world can be my opponent but that shameless traitor?! β
Such a wishful thing as moving to Taiyuan City was disturbed so unhappily by Liu Xiaoyan, and Liu Wuzhou's face was a little unbearable, but fortunately, at this time, Zhu Cang, Liang Jianfang and others led Li Er's headquarters to the west gate of the Dingyang Army camp smoothly came to the news, which directly proved that Li Jiancheng had succumbed to succumb, Liu Wuzhou and Li Er turned their anger into joy, and then Liu Wuzhou naturally hurriedly asked the army to start pulling out the camp and retreating, and Li Er also hurried to organize the headquarters army to accept the war horse presented by Liu Wuzhou, and they were very busy.
Busy, mutation regenerate, the herald suddenly flew to report that Li Jiancheng came to the door of the Dingyang army camp again, and asked to meet Liu Wuzhou and others at the camp gate, Liu Wuzhou was taken aback at first and quickly asked Li Jiancheng if he brought soldiers and horses, and learned that Li Jiancheng only brought more than 20 horses, Liu Wuzhou was a little relieved, and he was busy leading a team of guards out of the camp, all the way to meet Li Jiancheng in front of the barracks.
In the light of the torches, Li Jiancheng's face was very complicated, and he said to Liu Wuzhou straight to the point: "Brother Wu Zhou, out of the morality of allies, the younger brother is here to tell you bad news this time, and he is also here to ask you one last time, are you still willing to enter Taiyuan City with me?" If you are still willing to stay in Taiyuan with me, your grain and grass expenses in Taiyuan, my little brother will do his best to supply until we eat all the grain in Taiyuan together! β
"What do you mean by this?" Liu Wuzhou was stunned at first, then came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Xian, is something wrong?" β
Li Jiancheng nodded, handed the Tang report he had just received to Liu Wuzhou, and said: "I just received the emergency Tang report from Jingcheng Pass, Luo Yiyi accepted Chen Yingliang's canonization of King Yan, swore to serve Chen Yingliang, and has also sent troops to Hengshan County to block Dou Jiande's way to rescue our troops. The messenger I sent to ask Luo Yi for help has also been put in prison by Luo Yi, and is ready to be presented to Chen Yingliang as a meeting gift. β
"...... Luo, Luo Yi has defected?"
Liu Wuzhou couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly took the Tang newspaper handed by Li Jiancheng, trembling and opening it to take a closer look, Liu Wuzhou's face immediately turned pale, because it was clearly written on the Tang newspaper that Luo Yi had indeed changed his name, swore allegiance to Chen Fuliang, and preemptively sent troops to Hengshan County, not giving Dou Jiande a chance to rescue Taiyuan! Then, Liu Wuzhou immediately roared like crazy, "Luo Yipifu! Are you crazy or stupid, it is not appropriate to let the good Zhuojun Tu Emperor go, and you want to be a lackey for Chen Yingliang! also turned against us at this critical moment and stabbed us in the back with the most ruthless blow! β
"Maybe Luo Yi is waiting for this opportunity, and at this time, he sold Chen Yingliang the most favor." Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and asked again, "Brother Wu Zhou, how is it?" Will you still go with me into the city? β
It was Liu Wuzhou's turn to look unusually ugly, and he subconsciously checked the Tang newspaper carefully, Li Jiancheng observed what he was thinking, so he took the initiative to say: "Brother Wu Zhou, this Tang newspaper is too coincidental, you suspect that the younger brother forged and intimidated you, this is human nature, I don't blame you." You can also decide that this Tang newspaper is a forgery, and the younger brother will still keep his promise to invite you to settle in Taiyuan East City, but after entering the city, you don't regret it. β
Liu Wuzhou knew what Li Jiancheng meant, and knew that Li Jiancheng was reminding him to enter Taiyuan City at this time, and it would be difficult to have a chance to go out of the city again, and he was almost destined to be caught in Chen Fuliang's urn and kill the Dingyang Army and the Taiyuan Army! So after hesitating for a while, Liu Wuzhou said quickly: "Brother Jiancheng, since we can't count on Dou Jiande's reinforcements in a short period of time, it is better to follow your wishes, for my brother and I to lead the army east to enter Zhayuci, and form horns with you, rescue each other, and work together to fight against the army of Chen thieves!" If the thief Chen builds a dam and attacks the water, he promises that his brother will send troops to save you! β
"Then please brother." Li Jiancheng nodded, and said: "Although Yuci is small, the city is quite strong, Chen Yingliang has always been afraid of attacking fortifications, and my brother only needs to block the city gate in wartime, so that his artillery can be declared useless!" If the elder brother can rely on the city to frustrate the enemy's spirit, and the younger brother also chooses the opportunity to attack behind the grain road to harass him, it is not that your two armies have no chance of winning! β
"Then it's decided." Liu Wuzhou spoke in a faster tone, and said: "Yuci is far away, and it is possible to be pursued by the enemy, so how about sending troops east for the two brothers, and bothering the younger brother to stick to the camp until the third watch is more than half before withdrawing the troops?" β
"Before the fourth watch, unless Chen Yingliang breaks through our army's camp, the little brother will never leave the camp!" Li Jiancheng said calmly: "At least buy an hour and a half for my brother." β
A good reputation is good, knowing that Li Jiancheng is a kind person and never cheats on friends, Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed and immediately thanked Li Jiancheng again and again, and hurriedly agreed on the future contact method, and then the two of them gave up their hands and left, and each went back to prepare for the withdrawal of troops. As a result, it was at this time that Liu Wuzhou suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Li Jiancheng again: "Brother Xian, what should Erlang do?" Is it to let him go back to Taiyuan? Or let him go with him? β
"The choice is up to him." Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "If he is willing to go to Yuci with your brother, brother, you don't dislike it, of course, you can take him with you and let him listen to your orders." If he wants to go back to Taiyuan, of course, he can ask him to come to me himself. β
After that, Li Jiancheng arched his hand, and the fast horse that did not look back returned to the army camp to organize a retreat, and like Liu Xiaoyan, he deliberately didn't even glance at his brother Li Er, who was hurrying to receive the news, leaving Liu Wuzhou in place with a bitter smile, and said secretly: "It's strange that Li Erlang dares to go back to Taiyuan again, but this kid's heart is too poisonous, in order to please me, even my brother can be betrayed, and in the future, in order to please others, even I will dare to sell!" β
Then, of course, it was our second brother Li's turn to be stunned, and in disbelief snatched the Jingcheng Guan Tang Newspaper from Liu Wuzhou's hand, and carefully distinguished the true and false under the light of the torch, but unfortunately the second brother Li quickly found out in despair that this Tang newspaper was indeed the handwriting of Li Daliang, the guard of Jingcheng Guan, and the ink had already dried thoroughly, no matter what, it didn't seem to have just been forged. Then, Second Brother Li was like being struck by lightning, and there was only one thought left in his heart, "Bai is a villain, Bai is a villain, I knew that Luo Yi's husband would turn against Chen Yingliang and contain Dou Jiande for Chen Yingliang's traitor, I shouldn't have offended Li Jiancheng to death just now!" β
"Erlang, your brother just said, you can choose to stay." Liu Wuzhou said with a wry smile: "He said, if you are willing to go to Yuci with me, you will go to Yuci with my orders, if you want to go back to Taiyuan, you can go to him to discuss it yourself." Time is running out, so decide quickly. β
Li Er was even more stunned, and after finally coming back to his senses, Li Er immediately knelt down on one knee to Liu Wuzhou, and said loudly: "The younger brother is willing to listen to his brother's orders and go to Yuci with his brother to defend against the enemy!" β
"Okay." Liu Wuzhou was still a little conscientious, and immediately nodded and agreed to Li Er's request, and then said: "The second watch is half withdrawn, and you lead the palace." β
"No!" Li Er agreed without hesitation, and said cautiously: "But brother, there are only about 2,000 people left in the junior brother's headquarters, for the safety of the army, can you send an army to ...... with the younger brother." β
"I let Huang Ziying walk at the end of our army, so that he is ready to help you at any time." Liu Wuzhou interrupted Li Er with a smile, and said: "Also, the time is urgent, the thousand war horses are handed over to you now, and you won't be able to find so many cavalry to ride for a while, so it's better to be carried by our army first, and I'll give it to you when I get to Yuci." How is it? β
Hearing this, Li Er's face was of course as ugly as it was, and he was not happy in his heart, but he still obediently clasped his fists and said, "What my brother said is extremely true, it should be done like this." βi580
