Chapter 353: The Three-Day Covenant

β€œβ€¦β€¦ During the march, unless money is spent on purchases, vegetables and fruits on both sides of the road are not allowed to be eaten without authorization, and violators will be beaten with 20 military sticks to compensate the people for their losses. ”

"Every time you take a city, you will open the official treasury to put grain, and Yu Minqiu will not commit any crimes, and those who take it without permission will be beheaded. Residents over the age of 70 will be given a loose official and rewarded with wine, meat, and cloth. Regardless of whether they are farmers, craftsmen and merchants, rich or poor, but all the elders who have a skill will be accepted and hired, and official positions will be appointed on the spot. ”

"The palaces along the way will be demolished, the palace people will be dismissed, the palace maids will be released home, and those who have no family to welcome back will be handed over to the local ...... to choose a good marriage match."

Reading the rebel army's policy towards the people collected by the spy spies, Chen Fuliang, who was leading the army to Tongguan, shook his head again, sighed again, and said with envy: "In the end, it is easy to draw on a blank piece of paper, you can do whatever you want, and a few small tricks will buy the hearts of those who can be bought, no wonder the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, everyone is interested in him Li Yuan, the old thief." ”

"The cub doesn't feel sorry for selling Ye Tian, and he buys people's hearts with the money and grain of the emperor's majesty, of course Tang Guogong is generous." Fang Xuanling, who went out with Chen Fuliang next to him, took over the conversation and said with a smile: "But it can be regarded as the right medicine for this world, and it will definitely have a lot of effects, Brother Xian, this time you are going west to conquer Guanzhong, I am afraid that it will be easy to defeat Li Yuan's rebels, and it will be difficult to recover the hearts of the people in Guanzhong." ”

"Not necessarily." Chen Fuliang smiled, it was rare to have a difference of opinion with Fang Xuanling, and said with a smile: "What Li Yuan's rebels can do, I can also do, and I can do better than him!" ”

"Brother Xian, it's unlikely, right?" Fang Xuanling glanced at Chen Fuliang and said, "Brother Fool knows that you are strict with the army, and you strictly prohibit the sergeants from disturbing the people at any time, and the army discipline is definitely no worse than Li Yuan's traitors." But what about the other aspects? There are precedents of Luokoucang and Liyangcang, and you may be able to find a way to open a warehouse and release grain, this is an abuse of rewarding officials and dismissing palace maids, can you do it? Or rather, do you dare to do it? ”

"Why do I have to follow his Li Yuan's steps? If you want to buy people's hearts, there are other ways. Chen Fuliang smiled again, and then said: "Brother Qiao Song, in a while, you will lead Mr. Xuancheng and them, and give me a list of thieves, denouncing Li Yuan's crimes, how difficult to write, you look at the words and polish, the key is to add a paragraph to me." ”

"Add that paragraph?" Fang Xuanling hurriedly asked.

"In view of the rampant situation of Li Yuan's thieves at present, and the officials, generals, and civilian volunteers in various parts of Guanzhong and Hedong are either bewitched by him or threatened by his troops, and forced to join the thieves, this ambassador can understand their difficulties and suffering." Chen Fuliang said with a smile: "Therefore, this ambassador allows the officials and citizens of Guanzhong to disguise themselves to defect to the enemy under the last resort, keep their useful bodies, and only wait for the time to come, and then cooperate with the soldiers under the command of this ambassador to destroy the thieves." At that time, the ambassador will not only be free of blame for the past, but will also be rewarded for his meritorious deeds and rewarded with his merits. ”

Fang Xuanling applauded and laughed: "Wonderful! Brother Xian's plan is wonderful! As soon as this list came out, all those who surrendered to thieves and thieves in Guanzhong had a way to retreat, and they would not go all the way to the black, and follow Li Yuan's traitors and fight to the end with us. It is equivalent to disintegrating the enemy's morale without spending a single soldier, and those wall grasses in the twilight of Qin and Chu will definitely give birth to the idea of surrendering us immediately if the situation is not right, and we will set a few examples for these wall grasses to see, so that they will not worry about them not wagging their tails at us like dogs. ”

Chen Fuliang smiled again, this is now Xuanling's mouth is sometimes very mean, smiling, He Er, who often does dirty things for Chen Fuliang, also came to Chen Fuliang to receive the order according to the order, Chen Fuliang attached to his ear, and told him to organize a team specializing in dirty things to wait for orders, and immediately collect the banners and clothes of Li Yuan's rebels after entering the customs, and then sneak into the people to rape and plunder under the banner of Li Yuan's rebels, ruining the reputation of the old Li family.

At this time, the advance of the Sui army had already walked seventy miles, and arrived at the destination of today's march, Hushui River, and there was only one day left from Tongguan, although it was still early, but Chen Fuliang did not want the soldiers to be too tired, so he ordered the whole army to camp on the spot to rest, and at the same time sent scouts to explore the horses, inspect the surrounding mountains and forests, and beware of accidents. During this period, there was a rebel sentry on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Chen Fuliang once sent people to cross the river to grab his tongue, but he did not succeed, but it was confirmed that there was no trace of the rebel brigade on the north bank.

To Chen Fuliang's surprise, in the evening, the Sui army scouts actually caught a rebel messenger on the mountain path, and named him to meet Chen Fuliang, Chen Fuliang was very curious and immediately ordered to meet him. As a result, after the meeting, the person who came immediately identified himself to Chen Fuliang, saying that he was the confidant of Li Gang, a famous hotel in Guanzhong, and came to meet Chen Fuliang on the order of Li Gang, and took the initiative to introduce Li Gang's current situation, saying that Li Gang was captured by the thief army, for the life of his wife and children, he had to give He Panren the thief army a long history, and had no choice but to fall into the thief camp, always looking forward to returning to the Great Sui court, so he was willing to serve as an internal response for Chen Fuliang.

On the surface, he was overjoyed, but in his heart he took the letter submitted by Li Gang's family suspiciously, and saw that Li Gang expressed his heart on the letter, saying that he had received the great favor of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, although he was framed by Su Wei and left the court, but he had always had the Great Sui court in his heart, and was forced to be appointed by He Panren, in addition to thinking about his family's life, and then He Panren was really good to Li Gang, and Li Gang wanted to pull him back to the right path in order to repay He Panren's kindness. The previous Tongguan guard Liu Gang spread rumors that He Panren and Li Xiuning had an adulterous affair, and he also took the opportunity to point out the stakes to He Panren, pointing out that the Li family will inevitably not tolerate He Panren in the future, and He Panren will be killed sooner or later, instigating He Panren to surrender to Chen Fuliang, and He Panren is also obviously moved.

Next is the most critical text, Li Gang told Chen Fuliang that He Panren had taken out the grain on September 20, and arrived at the Daxing front line before September 30, but it was slow, and he would do everything possible to let He Panren slow down as much as possible, and take the opportunity to persuade He Panren to burn the follow-up grain and grass of the main force of the rebels, and then lead the thief army to turn around and kill back, sneak attack on the back of Li Yuan's division, and join forces with the Eastern Capital Army to break the rebel division, and recover the vital Yongfeng Cang. But the most critical problem now is that although He Panren has been extremely shaken, he has not made up his mind to act like this, so Li Gang begged Chen Fuliang to come forward to recruit He Panren, and he will take the opportunity to persuade He Panren to surrender to Sui, and he will definitely succeed.

After thinking about handing the letter to Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng and others, Chen Fuliang asked Li Gang's family about the specific situation, and the confidant family sent by Li Gang told Chen Fuliang very clearly, saying: "Chen Liushou, my lord said that He Panren is indeed very shaken, but he can't make up his mind, and my lord is only a civilian and has no military power, so he can't dare to be tough on He Panren, so he can only try to persuade him, but if He Panren insists on not listening, Not only will the things mentioned in the letter not work out, but his old man may still be worried about his life, so the lord asks Chen to stay behind and you must send an envoy to surrender and join hands to pull He Panren back to the right path. ”

Chen Fuliang was silent, Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang and others were silent, all of them were silent and nervous, only Fang Xuanling came to Chen Fuliang's side, and whispered to Chen Fuliang to introduce Li Gang's identity and origin, saying that Li Gang has turned seventy this year, and the character is famous for his integrity and courage as early as the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and later gave the abolished prince Yang Yong as the prince to wash the horse, after Yang Yong was deposed, all the officials of the East Palace did not dare to speak for Yang Yong, but Li Gang pointed out to his face that Yang Yong's character was corrupt because Emperor Wen of Sui did not teach his son well, and was appreciated by Emperor Wen of Sui. was promoted to Shangshu Youcheng, but because of his integrity, he offended Yang Su and Su Wei, the two powerful people, and was overthrown by political disputes, and resigned and retired to the present.

Although judging from various signs, Li Gang does look like a Great Sui ****** who brought his own dry food, but it is related to the victory or defeat of the battle and the lives of countless Great Sui soldiers, Chen Fuliang still did not dare to take it lightly, and asked the Li Gang family in a deep voice: "Your master said that He Panren treated him very politely, how to treat the Fa courteously?" ”

"What do you say about this ......?" Li Gang's family was a little embarrassed, and only after recalling it did he say: "In short, it is very good to my master, what my lord says He Panren generally listens, I remember that last time He Panren beat the Taiping Palace, because those officials and soldiers guarding the palace resisted fiercely, He Panren wanted to kill them all, my lord said that those officers and soldiers were loyal to their duties and did nothing wrong, He Panren let them all go." There have been several such incidents, so if He Panren's subordinates make any mistakes now, they usually ask my master to intercede first, and ask him to help them say good things. ”

After nodding, Chen Fuliang asked the key question, "How many troops are there in He Panren's hands now?" Mr. Fumiki, what is he going to do? ”

"He Panren led an army of 6,000 to Chang'an, and the 6,000 troops were his old troops, which were reliable." Li Gang's family quickly replied: "Also, Li Niangzi and the main generals under Chai Shao, Li Zhongwen, Qiu Shili, Xiang Shansi and Liu Jiong, in fact, all formed an alliance with He Panren first, and then attached themselves to Li Niangzi, even if they were He Panren's old department, they also had a good relationship with He Panren, so my lord wanted He Panren to destroy the grain and grass first, and then turn around and kill back, and cooperate with these generals inside and outside, break the thief army, and help Chen stay behind to recapture Yongfeng Cang." ”

"Absolutely not!"

Chen Fuliang suddenly raised his voice, startling everyone present, and then Chen Fuliang also rejoiced: "Fortunately, fortunately, He Panren is still wavering, and he didn't decide to kill the rebels immediately, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to save his life!" Mr. Wenji can't save his life! ”

"What do you mean by staying behind?" Wei Zheng asked curiously.

"Mr. Wen Ji underestimated Li Yuan's family too much." Chen Fuliang sneered and said: "Li Xiuning, a female streamer, can pull up such a huge thief army, can he have some means to control his generals?" Some time ago, there were rumors that He Panren and Li Xiuning had an adulterous relationship, could Li Yuan's old fox not prevent He Panren from having a different heart? Don't underestimate Li Jiancheng, he is also a ruthless person who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, how shrewd Fan Zi Gai Fan is left, he was still deceived by him! On the night of Fan Liu's death, Li Yuan was able to successfully control the disease, and most of the credit was actually attributed to Li Jiancheng! ”

"So, I dare to assert that Li Yuan's family must have planted eyeliner surveillance around He Panren!" Chen Fuliang patted the table and said: "Li Zhongwen and Qiu Shili, these thieves, must have already been bought and encircled by Li Yuan's old thieves, and it is impossible to really help He Panren abandon the secret and turn against the rebels!" Even if He Panren decides to surrender to us, he will be able to burn the grain and grass in his hands, and dare to turn back and kill Xiangtongguan, I am afraid that he and Mr. Wenji's heads will fall to the ground if they can't go ten miles! ”

Wei Zheng and the others' faces changed color, and the family members sent by Li Gang changed even more, and said tremblingly: "Chen Liushou, so my lord's life is in danger?" ”

"If Mr. Wenji does things closely, there is no danger for the time being." Chen Fuliang comforted, and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen Ji is loyal to state affairs and unswerving, I will do my best to protect the safety of his old man, you have worked hard from afar, go down to rest first, and after I make arrangements, I will send you back with a letter to Mr. Wen Ji." ”

Li Gang's family agreed, and Chen Fuliang asked him to return to the camp to entertain him, and as soon as Li Gang's family left, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others hurriedly asked: "Stay behind, Li Gang's letter, is it true or false?" ”

"There is not enough information to judge the truth or falsehood." Chen Fuliang replied sternly: "But even if it is true, this Mr. Wen Ji also moved He Panren with our help to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, He Panren is not a mortal threat to Li Jiancheng's partial division, the strength is insufficient, and the distance of the road cannot guarantee the success of the surprise attack, Li Jiancheng has enough time to deal with it, and the result will only harm Mr. Wen Ji's life in vain." ”

"What then? Put something to the side? Or do you ask Mr. Fumiki to be patient for the time being and wait for the next opportunity to arise? Fang Xuanling asked.

"No!" Chen Fuliang shook his head categorically and said categorically: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we must let He Panren destroy the batch of grain and grass in his hand, cut off Li Yuan's supply of grain and grass, and force this old thief not to dare to open a warehouse in Daxing to release grain, and even be forced to take grain on the spot, completely losing the hearts of the people in Guanzhong!" Then we will be tantamount to defeating the annihilation of the 100,000 Li Yuan thief army! ”

"Not bad." Fang Xuanling nodded and said: "Our army doesn't need to be afraid of Li Yuan's thief army on the battlefield at all, the only thing worth worrying about is the support of the people of Guanzhong for Li Yuan's old thief. ”

"So how? In order to let He Panren burn those grains? Wei Zheng asked, and reminded: "Don't forget, Mr. Wen Ji has made it very clear in the letter that he just let He Panren waver, and did not make He Panren make up his mind, I want He Panren to make this determination, and burn the grain in the traitor-controlled field, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

"It's okay, I've already thought about it." Chen Fuliang replied: "I want to pass through the line of Mr. GuΓ² Faji, and make an agreement with He Panren, after the main force of our army arrives at Tongguan, if I can break the traitor division under Li Jiancheng within three days, then recapture or encircle Yongfengcang, and open up a direct connection with him He Panren, then as long as he He Panren destroys grain to vote, I will protect him as a high-ranking official, prosperous and rich!" If I can't do this, then let him do as he pleases, even if I defeat Li Yuan in the future, I will never kill him, and I will still collect and reuse him! ”

"Three days? Defeat the enemy in three days? Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others were dumbfounded, and hurriedly reminded: "Stay behind, don't forget, your cousin has already reported to you, Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning, their brothers and sisters, but they are in the deep ditch and high base in the Yongfeng Cang area, and the wall is strong to protect themselves, and they can defeat them in three days?" I'm afraid it's unlikely, right? ”

"What? Don't have confidence in me? Chen Fuliang smiled and said: "I have done this, like a thunderbolt, wouldn't it be able to cause a huge shock to the battlefield in Guanzhong, and wouldn't it be more beneficial to our next war?" ”

"If Brother Xian has this confidence, then do it." Fang Xuanling nodded, picked up Li Gang's handwritten letter and said: "Mr. Wen Ji made it very clear in the letter, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng wanted He Panren to send grain and grass to Daxing before September 30, today is the 21st, and we will be able to arrive in Daxing tomorrow, we will break Li Jiancheng within three days, He Panren will receive the news on the 26th and 7th, and there is plenty of time to arrange the arrangement, plus Mr. Wen Ji is persuaded and instigated by the side, He Panren should be difficult to refuse this agreement." ”

"Yes, that's it." Chen Fuliang nodded and ordered: "Write a letter to Mr. Wenji and He Panren for me, telling Mr. SΓΉ Wenji that his plan is too risky and there is little hope of success, and ask him to protect himself and help me act according to the plan." A letter to He Panren, telling He Panren that I don't need him to risk mutiny, as long as I fulfill my promise, he can help me destroy the grain and grass in my hand, I will immediately go to the court to ask for a reward for him, and ensure that he is given an official position of more than five grades, and I personally reward him with one hundred taels of gold and silver, and fifty horses! ”

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others agreed and immediately put pen to paper, polished Chen Fuliang's explanation, and wrote a letter, and then Chen Fuliang summoned Li Gang's messenger, yes
