"Deputy Envoy Chen, our Jiangdu Army took the initiative to come north to help you, and now the main force of the traitors has been pinned down by us on the north bank of the Huai River, but you are staying here in Suyu and not moving, is it too ...... and too immoral? I also ask Deputy Envoy Chen to send troops south immediately for the sake of serving the imperial court, and assist our army in flanking Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's thief army! ”

"Please return to Wang Juncheng, for his initiative to help, this ......, cough cough, on behalf of Ambassador Zhang Xutuo, the soldiers of Qian County and the soldiers and civilians of the twelve counties of Henan Province, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to him 120,000 points! Ahem, please go back to Wang Juncheng, it's not that the official doesn't want to send troops immediately, the official can't wait to have wings on his back, and immediately fly to the Huaishui battlefield to fight to the death with Du Fuwei and Li Zitong! It's just ......, ahem, it's just that you have also seen that this official is sick like this, and he is really powerless. Please return to Wang Juncheng, as long as my condition can recover a little, I will send troops immediately, and I will send troops immediately, cough ....... ”

"Uncle Chen, uncle, he heard that you are seriously ill, and he specially ordered his little nephew Wang Xingben to bring a disease doctor to diagnose and treat you."

"Doctor, how's it going? Can I be saved from my illness? ”

"Deputy envoy, forgive the grass people for their incompetence, your pulse is intermittent, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, the condition is very strange, the grass people are only shallow in learning, and they dare not make a fixed diagnosis, so they can only prescribe two doses of prescription first, and give you a little recuperation first, so as to see the after-effects."

"Thank you to the doctor, Xingben Xian nephew, please return to Brother Wang, please let him put a hundred hearts, as long as my condition improves slightly, I can ride a horse, I can walk, I will immediately send troops, even if I die, I will die on the battlefield of counterinsurgency."

"How do you make the veins so weird? It's simple, just find a hard thing to clip under your armpits. ”

From the above content, it can be seen that what Wang Shichong did to our captain Chen, Xiao Zhengtai Chen Yingliang, what are the results, in short, no matter how Wang Shichong urges, entices, confuses and even persecutes, Chen Yingliang is lying under Suyu City and refuses to move, as soon as Wang Shichong's messenger comes to ask for a meeting, Chen Yingliang lies in the ward full of medicinal smell and is dying, and his condition is so heavy that he seems to be able to lose his breath at any time; As soon as Wang Shichong left on the front foot, Chen Yingliang appeared in the barracks or on the school field with his back foot, and he also practiced horsemanship, martial arts and archery skills, and tried to improve his pitifully low force value.

Of course, it was not that no one accused Chen Yingliang of violating morality by doing this, but Chen Yingliang replied with a sneer: "Morality? and treacherously buried tens of thousands of people alive Wang Shichong preaching morality? Believe it or not, if Du Fuwei and Li Zitong came to Suyu to find trouble for us and forced us to ask Wang Shichong for help, then don't say anything about calling brothers and brothers, I just worship him Wang Shichong as my godfather, and he will not send a soldier to share the pressure for us! If we don't wait for us to lose the battle with the thieves, he Wang Shichong won't even look at the Suyu battlefield! ”

Some people are also worried about the consequences of Chen Yingliang's actions, saying that if they sit back and watch Wang Shichong fall, then the self-army will face the threat of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's thief army alone, but Chen Yingliang smiled even more happily, and said: "You underestimate Wang Shichong too much, it's not that he can't deal with Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, with his strength, even if he can't win Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, he will definitely not suffer too much loss, he just doesn't want to pay too much price for this big war." He doesn't want the army to suffer heavy casualties, and I don't want to, so let's just consume it and see who can consume whom. ”

As Chen Yingliang analyzed, if Wang Shichong on the Huaishui battlefield adopts the strategy of a frontal decisive battle, it is really not that he is not sure to defeat the coalition army of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, but he is destined to pay a huge price, and as a future warlord and a hero in troubled times, Wang Shichong knows better than anyone the importance of the army, this time the so-called northward assistance took the initiative to help Chen Yingliang, Wang Shichong's purpose is to let the army find something to do, so as not to be idle for too long and be disbanded by an order of the imperial court. The head-on decisive battle with the main force of the thieves with real swords and guns, with heavy casualties, was used as a stepping stone for Chen Yingliang to be promoted to an official and made a fortune, such a stupid thing killed Wang Shichong and did not want to do it!

If you don't want to do it, you have to do it, the masters in the thief team also saw through Wang Shichong's attempt to preserve his strength, Jian yì Du Fuwei and Li Zitong seized this weakness to chase and fight, and sent troops to attack Wang Shichong's camp every day, but Wang Shichong because the camp was not stable enough, he could only send troops to meet the battle every time, and every time he had to make every effort to repel the attack of the thief army, and because Du Fuwei and Li Zitong agreed to join forces to attack, they had to fight with the thief army twice a day, although the result was that they won and lost each other. The Jiangdu army, which had a certain advantage in equipment and training, had the upper hand, but Wang Shichong still paid a lot of price for this, and in just six or seven days of fighting, more than 1,000 Wang Shichong's descendants were killed or seriously injured and disabled.

The battle has reached this point, Wang Shichong has not many options left except for the head-on decisive battle, one is to quickly pull Chen Yingliang into the battlefield and attack the main force of the thief army before and after; the second is to retreat across the Huai River to avoid the enemy's edge, and defend according to the Huai River; The third is to win by surprise and break the enemy by calculation. But Chen Yingliang pretended to be sick or alive and did not send troops, and if he retreated across the Huai River, he would definitely be attacked by the main force of the thief army, and the casualties were destined to be even greater.

Like Chen Yingliang, who was born bad, the treacherous Wang Shichong also discovered the weakness of the thief army teaming up to distrust each other, and also fought the idea of dividing Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's alliance, but unlike Chen Yingliang, Wang Shichong's reputation in Xinyi is too stinky, it can be regarded as a top wind and stinky ten miles, and in front of the Buddha of Tongxuan Temple, he swore to surrender and not kill in front of the world, but he buried all the more than 30,000 soldiers alive! Such an ugly thing has been done, and it has been done so vigorously, Du Fuwei and Li Zitong will not believe any words of Wang Shichong even if they are children with cerebral palsy and dementia, without this precondition, what can Wang Shichong use to win the trust of the enemy and take the opportunity to sow discord with tricks?

"Why don't you let Chen Yingliang's thief come forward and use a plot to divide the wedge?"

After racking his brains, Wang Shichong suddenly came up with a very genius and indeed feasible idea, and immediately said: "The old man has drilled the horns!" Why didn't you think of using Chen Yingliang's thief to sow discord? The two thieves of Du and Li were suspicious of each other, and even turned against each other, and became angry with each other! ”

"Let Chen Yingliang's thief come forward to dissociate?" Next to him, the civil and military ministers of the Jiangdu Army, who were basically composed of members of the Wang family, looked at each other.

"That's right! Let Chen Yingliang's thief come forward and use a discordant scheme! Wang Shichong was so excited that he simply stood up and said loudly: "Although Chen Yingliang, this little thief is treacherous and despicable, ungrateful!" But he is good at disguising, good at showing hypocrisy, and has a very good reputation among the people, the last time he recruited the thief Miao Haichao, Miao Haichao was not only not executed, but also flew Huang Tengda into the left imperial guard as a folding general, there is such a precedent in the front, Chen Yingliang thief came forward to contact the thief, of course, it is easy to gain the trust of the thief, and then take the opportunity to divide the situation, so that Du Fuwei and Li Zitong turned against each other, and created a favorable fighter for us to win the war! ”

"Uncle, that thief Chen Yingliang is treacherous, shameless, insidious and despicable, will he help us with this?" Wang Ren asked worriedly.

"He may not help with anything else, but he should be able to help with this one." Wang Shichong replied: "Help us separate the two thieves of Du and Li, he doesn't need to lose a single soldier, and he can also easily pick up the cheap after we defeat the two thieves of Du and Li, such a good thing with benefits and no harm, he should not miss it." ”

Wang Ren and other members of the Wang family were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly urged Wang Shichong to act according to the plan, so as not to be forced to fight a war of attrition with the thief army every day, Wang Shichong did not hesitate, while thinking about how to use the plan to divide the line, he personally took up the pen and wrote a letter, but only wrote a beginning, Wang Shichong's heart moved, but he put down the brush again, frowned and said: "No, I can't write a letter to the thief." ”

"Why?" Everyone in the Wang family was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "Does this plan not work?" ”

"It's not that this plan won't work, I'm sure this plan is feasible, I'm just worried that Chen Yingliang's thief will take the opportunity to play tricks." Wang Shichong's brows furrowed even tighter, and he analyzed with his own people: "Last time, I pretended to surrender and used the messenger to sin against Chen Xiaothief, although Chen Xiaothief did not pursue it, but he must still hold a grudge in his heart, this time it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take the opportunity to retaliate, if this is the case, then our trouble will only be greater." ”

"But father, you just said that it is in his favor that we do this?" Wang Shichong's eldest son, Wang Xuanying, asked in surprise.

"But it is better for him to let us fight the thief army and defeat both sides! When the time comes, not only will all the merits and spoils be his, but we will also be severely damaged, and there will be no more threats of revenge against him! ”

Wang Shichong replied viciously, and said with a cold expression: "If I and him Chen Yingliang's thief situation is reversed, Chen Yingliang writes to me to ask me to use a divisive strategy, I will definitely send Chen thief's letter to Du Fuwei and Li Zitong immediately, and help Chen thief completely anger these two thieves!" If Little Thief Chen sends my letter to Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, then we can only fight the main force of the thief army to the death! ”

Hearing Wang Shichong's words, everyone in the Wang family nodded one after another, and they all felt that Chen Yingliang would definitely do this! After all, they are all blood relatives of Wang Shichong, and they treat others with their own lives, so they naturally feel that such an analysis is reasonable.

After nodding in agreement, the Wang family and the others hurriedly asked if they would give up the discord plan? Wang Shichong pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Wang Renze: "Nephew Ren Zexian, if I remember correctly, when you introduced Chen Yingliang's situation in the army last time, you once said that Chen Yingliang is only eighteen years old this year, and he governs the army quite strictly, and there is not even a female music singer in the army?" ”

"Not bad." Wang Ren nodded and replied, and added: "The little nephew also heard from the soldiers of the county that even if Chen Yingliang's thief robbed his female relatives or rescued the plundered women in the thief army, he was immediately repatriated to his hometown, and the homeless were assigned to the sergeants as wives by drawing lots, and never kept them for enjoyment, so he was very popular with the army." ”

"Good." Wang Shi nodded meaningfully, and suddenly turned to his eldest son, Wang Xuanying, and instructed: "Xuanying, take your sister to Suyu by water, and ask Chen Yingliang for me to help us use a plan to separate the two thieves of Du and Li." ”

"Father, why do you want to bring your little sister?" Wang Xuanying asked in surprise.

"You just do it, and I'll tell you the reason later." Wang Shichong replied with a cold expression.

………………

Almost at the same time outside the city of Suyu, in the camp of the Sui army in Qian County, Chen Yingliang was also studying the military situation of the Huaihe battlefield, from the news and intelligence collected through various channels, Chen Yingliang found that he also underestimated Wang Shichong's patience and forbearance, in the case of unstable fortifications and insufficient fortifications, Wang Shichong in order to preserve his strength, he had not launched a decisive battle until now, and would rather defend against the enemy's attack while building fortifications, rather than risk fighting to the death with the main force of the thief army. also said that he would not give himself a chance to reap the benefits, and in this three-way wrestling battle, who can have the last laugh between himself and Wang Shichong is still undecided.

After secretly admiring Wang Shichong as a hero in troubled times, Chen Yingliang focused his attention on the Du Li coalition army, and was quite surprised to find that the main force of the thief army did not seem to have any plans for a comprehensive decisive battle. Sensing this, Chen Yingliang couldn't help sneering: "Du Fuwei has either become smarter, or there are masters around him, and he actually saw through Wang Shichong's mind of wanting to preserve his strength, and wanted to force Wang Shichong to retreat across the Huai River, and then attack halfway and win easily." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Tiangang asked curiously.

"It's hard to say in one sentence or two." Chen Yingliang replied casually: "In short, Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, the two thieves, are also cheating and playing tricks, and they don't want to fight hard with Wang Shichong to hurt their vitality, they just want to force Wang Shichong across the Huai River, and then win the biggest victory at the minimum cost." So don't look at the main force of the thief army and Wang Shichong on the surface to fight every day, in fact, both sides are competing for patience, both want to wait for the other party to show their flaws to win, and they don't want to fight to the death in a dignified manner. ”

"So they, who is sure to win?" Yuan Tiangang asked again.

"I can't see it yet, but Wang Shichong's winning chance is bigger." Chen Yingliang replied: "There are too many internal problems in the coalition of thieves, Wang Shichong only needs to seize an opportunity to win a big victory, compete with patience, Du Fuwei and Li Zitong are not the opponents of Wang Shichong, the old fox, and if they continue to consume, they will likely be consumed to death by Wang Shichong." ”

"Isn't it good to be consumed to death by Wang Shichong?" Yuan Tiangang said lightly: "We don't have to fight hard, just let Wang Shichong eliminate Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, the two big thieves, for us, isn't it good?" ”

"And what about our merits and loot?" Chen Yingliang sneered and said, "Isn't it all for nothing? When the time comes, he will be promoted and make a fortune, and we will have a grudge against him again, and there will be more troubles in the future. ”

"What then?" Wei Zheng opened his mouth and asked, "Could it be that the deputy envoy wants to send troops to help Wang Shichong?" Resolve grievances, and also share the work by the way? ”

"It's not time to send troops yet." Chen Yingliang replied: "The best time for us to send troops is to wait until the main force of the thief army and Wang Shichong are defeated, at least until the main force of the thief army and Wang Shichong have fought a decisive battle, and then we can send troops again, and we can easily obtain the maximum benefit." ”

"Although the ideal of the deputy envoy is good, but Wang Shichong and the main force of the thief army insist on refusing to fight, what can we do?" Wei Zheng asked, and made a very rare joke, saying: "We can't send people to Du Fuwei and Wang Shichong to say, please fight a decisive battle between the two sides, so that our army can hide behind and pick up the cheap." ”

Yuan Tiangang laughed, and said that Mr. Wei Zheng could also laugh, but Chen Yingliang didn't laugh, just clasped his hands to his chest, looked at the map of the Huaishui battlefield in a daze, and after a long time, Chen Yingliang suddenly said: "Mr. Yuan, Mr. Wei, I have a question, I hope you can answer it truthfully." ”

"Vice-Envoy, excuse me." Yuan Tiangang and Wei Zheng replied together.

"If ......, I say if." Chen Yingliang hesitated a little and said: "If I use conspiracy and trickery to completely provoke Du Fuwei and Li Zitong and other thieves, and induce them to launch a full-scale decisive battle with Wang Shichong, is this too moral?" What will you think of me? Do you think I'm inferior to a beast and don't deserve to be a human at all? ”

Hearing Chen Yingliang's question, Yuan Tiangang and Wei Zheng first glanced at each other suspiciously, then pondered, and after a while, Yuan Tiangang first said: "Deputy envoy, Wang Shichong is our friendly army, and it is indeed a big violation of morality to do so. But if you do, the lower officials think that you are not wrong, because the person you are targeting is Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong deliberately leaked our military information to the enemy first, and only walked 30 miles a day in breach of trust, and he was ruthless and had no faith at all! For such a person, it is not wrong to deal with him with no matter how vicious he is. ”

Chen Yingliang nodded, and then turned his gaze to Wei Zheng, who hesitated for a long time before saying, "If the deputy envoy does this to other friendly forces, the lowly position will definitely think that you are wolf-hearted, and everyone and God are angry!" But you did this to Wang Shichong, but I think you did the right thing, Wang Shichong is insidious and despicable, with honey in his mouth and a sword in his belly, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, if he is allowed to soar, he will be a great harm to the world! was able to nip him in the bud and not give him a day to get ahead, and he also saved countless living beings and people. ”

In the end, it is a former anti-narcotics captain whose conscience has not been eaten up by dogs, even if Wei Zheng said so, Chen Yingliang still hesitated for a long time before making up his mind, walked to his briefcase without saying a word, took out the handwritten letter that Wang Shichong wrote to himself at the beginning, threw it on the handsome case, and asked: "Which of you is good at imitating handwriting?" Forged a handwritten letter from Wang Shichong for me. ”

"Imitation of handwriting? This....... ”

Yuan Tiangang, who is only good at astronomy and geography, was a little dumbfounded, but Wei Zheng, an old-fashioned man who could count on his fingers in history, picked up the letter and sat down next to the bookcase, while opening the letter to study Wang Shichong's handwriting characteristics, using dictionaries and habits, and said quietly: "Since the lowly position agrees with you to do this, then the lowly position should also be a sinner once, the deputy envoy please say, who did Wang Shichong write to?" What's the content? ”

"Wang Shichong wrote to me." Chen Yingliang said lightly: "The content is that Wang Shichong asked me to come forward to separate Du Fuwei and Li Zitong for him, and use the good reputation I established by appeasing Miao Haichao before, and bribe Li Zitong to surrender to the court with high-ranking officials Houlu, and suddenly stab Du Fuwei in the back. After the matter is completed, if I am willing, I will take Li Zitong away, if I am unwilling, he Wang Shichong can solve Li Zitong for me, so that my reputation will not be damaged. By the way, I would like to add that the jewelry I used to buy Li Zitong was provided by him Wang Shichong. ”

"Understood, please wait." Wei Zheng agreed quietly, and immediately made a book, writing quite quickly, but the handwriting left was exactly the same as Wang Shichong's.

"Give me the seal." Yuan Tiangang, who is good at fine craftsmanship, also said: "If you are lowly, you will go and get radishes and carving knives." "Means, if he is allowed to soar, it will be a great harm to the world! was able to nip him in the bud and not give him a day to get ahead, and he also saved countless living beings and people. ”

In the end, it is a former anti-narcotics captain whose conscience has not been eaten up by dogs, even if Wei Zheng said so, Chen Yingliang still hesitated for a long time before making up his mind, walked to his briefcase without saying a word, took out the handwritten letter that Wang Shichong wrote to himself at the beginning, threw it on the handsome case, and asked: "Which of you is good at imitating handwriting?"
