Chapter 200: Anticlimactic
Chen Fuliang, who has a valuable character, is so righteous and graceful, no matter how thick-skinned the Wagang army is, he is embarrassed to fight with the Qian Peng Sui army again, Chen Yingliang is not stupid enough to storm the Wagang cottage head-on to consume his precious strength, and the Qian Peng Sui army and the Wagang army also tacitly do not look for trouble with each other, and use confrontation tactics together.
In this way, after spending a few days, Wang Shichong, who was almost forgotten by Chen Yingliang, suddenly sent someone to send a message, saying that he had broken the main force of Yan Xuanzheng's thief army in the East China Sea, but he failed to completely eliminate it, so that Yan Xuanzheng led the remnants to flee into Xiapi County, because Xiapi County is the best money and grain situation in the four counties supervised by Chen Yingliang, and it is very important to Chen Yingliang, so Wang Shichong decided to help his son-in-law to the end, and personally led his troops to chase into Xiapi County - just because Wang Shichong's army was far away from the rear of Jiangdu, and the supply of grain and grass was difficult, Therefore, Wang Shichong asked his son-in-law to go down to Pi County to guard Zhu Yong, and asked Zhu Yong to provide 30,000 stone grain and grass for the army, so that the Sui army in Jiangdu could suppress bandits.
"Old horseman! It's really going to rip off! Seeing Wang Shichong's letter here, Chen Yingliang, the unworthy son-in-law, immediately scolded, "It only took ten days to break through Yan Xuanzheng, and he dared to ask me for 30,000 stone of grain, and 20,000 troops ate 333 stone of grain a day, counting the consumption of grain and grass on your way back and forth, this time the thief used 10,000 stone of grain for me to reach the sky!" Dare to ask me for 30,000 stones, old horseman, are you really wronged as my son-in-law? ”
"Wang Juncheng is indeed darker, and he has to repay his son-in-law three times the grain and grass for helping his son-in-law, which is too ruthless." Wei Zheng, who was also in charge of military supplies, nodded in agreement, and also felt that Wang Shichong had knocked the bamboo stick too hard, and said: "Deputy envoy, you must not give so much, first, the burden on the people is too heavy, and second, this opening is opened, if we want to ask him for anything in the future, he will only kick his nose in the face, ask for more, and knock harder." ”
"Of course you can't give so much, at most you can only give half!" Chen Yingliang said angrily: "Mr. Xuancheng, you send an official document to Zhu Yongzhu Taishou, and ask him to take 15,000 stone of grain to send this old immortal!" If this shameless old immortal still feels dissatisfied, tell him to come at me, and I will deal with it! ”
Wei Zheng agreed, and immediately wrote for Chen Yingliang, but there was a dissatisfied voice outside the Chinese army's big tent, and it was the voice of another old immortal Zhang Xutuo, who asked loudly and unhappily: "Deputy Envoy Chen, who are you scolding for being old and immortal?" The shameless old immortal, is he scolding me behind my back? ”
"Bad, how did you hear it from Old Man Zhang?" Chen Ying's conscience complained bitterly, so he had to quickly get up and leave the table, go outside the tent to greet Zhang Xutuo, and then lead Zhang Xutuo into the big tent of the Chinese army, and present Wang Shichong's blackmail letter, explaining that he was scolding the shameless old immortal Wang Shichong, not scolding the old immortal Zhang Xutuo who came to pick up the cheap this time.
After listening to Chen Yingliang's explanation, Zhang Xutuo was slightly satisfied, but he still hummed again: "You kid, is it okay to accumulate some oral virtue?" Anyway, Wang Shichong also helped you a lot this time, last time you robbed him of so much credit, and quietly made his daughter's belly bigger, this time he came to help you regardless of his previous suspicions, you still have the face to scold him behind his back? Is it too much? ”
"Ambassador Zhang, the junior didn't mean to be disrespectful to him, but he went too far." Chen Yingliang hurriedly explained, "Ambassador, you don't know how much grain Wang Shichong's 20,000 troops used in a month, and he actually had the face to ask me for 30,000 stone grain. ”
"You two sons-in-law are really superb." Zhang Xutuo sighed, he didn't know whether to accuse Chen Yingliang of being unscrupulous or to scold Wang Shichong for being insatiable, so he could only wave his hand and say: "Forget it, anyway, this is a matter between you and your father-in-law, and the old man is too lazy to care." To get down to business, if you really sympathize with the people and want to reduce the burden on the people, tell the old man, how are you going to fight this time? How long will it take to take the Wagang Bandit Village? ”
"Ambassador, didn't you say that you would have a confrontation with the wall? Why are you pushing me again? Chen Yingliang was a little confused, then immediately came to his senses and quickly asked, "Is there another accident in our rear?" ”
"You guessed it." Zhang Xutuo sighed and replied: "In order to help you exterminate Wagangzhai, the old man has been stationed in Jibei for a period of time, giving the thieves east of Qi County a respite, but the thief king Bo who has been repeatedly suppressed took the opportunity to rise up again, gathered more than 20,000 people from Penglai to kill back to Gaomi County, and there is a tendency to continue to go north to contact Hao Xiaode and Zhang Jincheng, Gao Jianbi was restrained by Song Shimo's thief army, and he couldn't spare his hand to exterminate, so he could only ask the old man for help. ”
"Ambassador, then you can come back quickly!" Chen Yingliang was amused when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Wang Bo, that thief is the earliest rebel thief, and he has quite prestige in the thief army, if he sits idly by, he may soon sit back again!" ”
"Think beautifully, the old man came here for hundreds of miles to suppress the Wagang thieves, and he withdrew before he took their thief village, what kind of words did it say?" Zhang Xutuo scolded angrily, "Withdraw from the army now, how can the old man explain to the officers and soldiers in the army?" What is the purpose of their coming here this time, do you still know? Don't want to monopolize the savings of the Wagang thieves! ”
After scolding, Zhang Xutuo changed his tone again and said: "The old man is also for your good, how is the combat effectiveness of the Wagang thieves, you have also seen it, if you don't stay here to help you, the old man is really worried that you can't destroy them." ”
"I didn't even think about killing them." Chen Yingliang muttered in his heart, but he respectfully thanked him, and asked cautiously: "Ambassador, what about Wang Bo's thief army?" ”
"The old man and Jia Wuben have carefully calculated, and they feel that there is still some time." Zhang Xutuo replied: "Seven days, the old man can stay here to help you for seven days, within seven days, you must come up with a way for the old man to break through this Wagang thief village." ”
"Seven days?" Chen Yingliang cried and said distressedly: "Ambassador, it's not that the lower officials want to swallow the oil and water of the Wagang thieves' village alone, it's that the lower officials really have no choice." If the siege and reinforcement tactics prepared by the lower officials can be successful, then in the decisive battle in the field, you and I will join forces to have some hope to exterminate the Wagang thieves, but now the main force of the Wagang thieves has retreated to the cottage in advance, and they can attack and retreat, what else can the lower officials do to quickly fight and destroy them? ”
After carefully looking at Chen Yingliang's crying and mourning expression, Zhang Xutuo frowned and said, "Then what should I do?" Why don't we attack head-on, and try to see if we can directly take the Wagang Bandit Village? ”
Chen Yingliang, who was desperately trying to maintain his strength, heard the bitterness, so he had to quickly declare that he was not sure to attack Wagang Village head-on, and also expressed his attitude that he would never adopt a frontal assault tactic with huge casualties, and strongly persuaded Zhang Xutuo to quickly get out of the division and return to the division to save the rear, let himself stay and continue to confront the Wagang army, consume the grain and grass of the Wagang army, and force the Wagang army to go out of the village for a decisive battle. Zhang Xutuo was hesitant, not only did he not grasp the means of taking Wagangzhai by means of strong attack, but he also did not want the army to work hard in vain.
Seeing Zhang Xutuo's hesitation, Chen Yingliang simply gritted his teeth and said: "Ambassador, the junior of the lower official is really for your own good, so I persuaded you to hurry back to Beihai and Gaomi, if you must suspect that the junior wants to monopolize the savings of the Wagang thief village for many years, then the junior can promise you now, after the junior uses confrontation tactics to break the Wagang thief, half of the savings in the thief village are still yours!" That's all right, right? ”
"Don't say it so ugly, it's like the old man is an insatiable person! The old man is worried about you, worried that you will not be able to defeat these powerful Wagang thieves, so he is unwilling to withdraw. Zhang Xutuo scolded loudly angrily, hesitated for a moment, and then Zhang Xutuo said: "Then let's do it, Old Man Rong will think about it, and discuss it with Jia Wuben again, and then decide whether to withdraw from the army." ”
Chen Yingliang wished that he was delaying time, so he hurriedly agreed, and finally sent Zhang Xutuo away, and on the same day, the Wagang Army sent an envoy to inquire about Shan Luoli, in order to continue to stabilize the Wagang Army and prevent them from coming impulsively, Chen Yingliang could only continue to hold Shan Luoli and hold on, just promising to reply to the Wagang Army within three days, and then sent away the messenger of the Wagang Army.
The dangerous rear suddenly changed, and there was no danger in continuing to delay Zhang Xutuo of course knew it, so after hesitating for more than a day, Zhang Xutuo still sent someone to order Chen Yingliang to go over the camp to discuss the withdrawal of troops. After meeting, Zhang Xutuo also directly told Chen Yingliang, saying: "Yingliang, the old man has decided to adopt your Jianyi, I will go back to the division to save the rear, and the Wagang thief village will all be entrusted to you." ”
Chen Yingliang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly patted his chest to promise that he would definitely resist this heavy burden, and he was not afraid that Wagangzhai would never withdraw his troops - of course, if he had to move to rescue him, there would be no way. And Zhang Xutuo was not as happy as Chen Yingliang, his face was still extremely dignified, and Yan said: "Yingliang, you have to be ready, as soon as the old man withdraws the army, the Wagang thieves will definitely understand that the old man's rear is changing, and under the excitement of the army, he will definitely have the intention of bullying you alone, and once the Wagang thieves come out of the village to fight a decisive battle, you will face a very dangerous Armageddon." ”
"Ambassador Xie's guidance, the younger generation understands." Chen Yingliang also understood that Zhang Xutuo was a well-intentioned warning, so he hurriedly bowed and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, the ambassador has been recuperating for a long time, and the army is sufficient, even if the Wagang thieves go out of the village to fight a decisive battle, the younger generation is not afraid of them." ”
"That's good." Zhang Xutuo nodded, and suddenly said: "The old man left Qin Qiong and five regiments of elite cavalry to you, to help you resist the counterattack of the Wagang thieves, and also to make your mobile forces more sufficient, and you can calmly deal with the surprise attack of the Wagang thieves." ”
"What?" Chen Yingliang's joy was extraordinary, and he blurted out, "Really? ”
"Of course it's true." Zhang Xutuo nodded and said with a smile: "The old man knows that you have been coveting Qin Qiong and the cavalry under his command for a long time, and this time I will fulfill your wish, but the old man stated in advance that he only borrowed it and did not give it away, and after you broke the Wagang thief, they would be so good that they would return it to the old man." ”
After that, Zhang Xutuo added with a stern expression, "Be careful, the Wagang thief is not easy to deal with, you have to take care of yourself, the old man can't live without you as a deputy." ”
Hearing Zhang Xutuo's heartfelt care and considerate words, Chen Yingliang, who played a lot of tricks this time, blushed a little, and felt ashamed in his heart, Chen Yingliang was busy and solemnly saluted, and thanked him from the bottom of his heart, but Zhang Xutuo waved his hand and said: "Then it's decided, this time the old man is sorry for you, saying that he is here to help you break the tile gangzhai, but he has to suddenly withdraw from the army, making your battle more difficult, and when there is a chance, the old man will make amends to you." ”
"Ambassador, I'm actually sorry for you this time, I didn't even think about breaking through Wagangzhai."
It's simply a perfunctory effort, but Zhang Xutuo is still thinking about himself like this, the disparity in character is so huge, Chen Yingliang will inevitably feel ashamed when he loses his conscience, and then carefully look at Zhang Xutuo's appearance, Chen Yingliang suddenly found that compared with when he first saw Zhang Xutuo, in just over a year, Zhang Xutuo seems to have aged ten years old, the original gray hair and beard are difficult to see black, there are many more wrinkles on his face, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight. A person in his early fifties already looks like a sixty-year-old man, and thinking that he broke up with Zhang Xutuo this time, he may not have a chance to meet again in the future, Chen Yingliang's nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yingliang suddenly said: "Ambassador, the junior heard that you have a sore shoulder, and you often need to massage and rub your shoulders. ”
"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly remember to rub the old man's shoulders and beat his back? ”
Zhang Xutuo was full of confusion, but Chen Yingliang stopped talking, just got up and walked to Zhang Xutuo's back, rubbed Zhang Xutuo's shoulders and back, and massaged and kneaded very carefully, and at the same time tears also flashed in Chen Yingliang's eyes, because Chen Yingliang knew very well that this was the first time he rubbed his shoulders and back for Zhang Xutuo, and it was also the last time he rubbed his shoulders and backs for Zhang Xutuo, whom he respected from the bottom of his heart. Zhang Xutuo gradually understood, and when he turned around and saw the tears on Chen Yingliang's face, he smiled and said, "What kind of childish gesture?" It's not life and death, why are you crying? ”
Hearing this, Chen Yingliang's tears flowed down even more uncontrollably, and he said in a choked voice: "Ambassador, you must take care, the court can't do without you, and the world can't do without you." ”
"Got it, got it, thank you for your concern, but don't hold the old man so high." Zhang Xutuo nodded with a smile, and said that Chen Yingliang was worried about his safety when he fought with Wang Bo, so he comforted him in turn: "It's okay, although Wang Bo's thief is cunning and invincible, he is not the old man's opponent, and the old man is still very sure that he will meet him." ”
Chen Yingliang nodded tearfully, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ambassador, Wang Bo is indeed not to be afraid, but you must be careful of one person, this person is called Li Mi, he is the remnant of Yang Xuangan's rebel thief, and he is also the only person who has deceived his juniors on the battlefield, he is cunning and incomparable, if you run into him, be careful." Remember,...... If, if the junior's army is next to you, you must summon reinforcements from the junior, and the juniors will definitely do their best. ”
Zhang Xutuo nodded, indicating that he had remembered, and then reminded Chen Yingliang in turn that Chen Yingliang must also be careful of the Wagang Army, whose combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and must not be careless to underestimate the enemy, so as not to capsize in the gutter and ruin the fame of a lifetime, Chen Yingliang tearfully agreed, but he couldn't help but cry for Zhang Xutuo, who really capsized in the gutter, and his mind was complicated............
…………
Because Zhang Xutuo decided to evacuate the Wagangzhai battlefield the next day, in order not to expose his lies, after returning to the self-army camp, Chen Yingliang personally sent Shan Luoli out of the camp that evening and let her return to Wagangzhai to reunite with Shan Xiongxin. After a few days of getting along, Shan Lili's attitude towards Chen Yingliang has also changed significantly, even after Chen Yingliang untied the rope on his body with his own hands, he did not immediately cheer and leave, but looked at Chen Yingliang with a complicated expression, and suddenly asked: "......, do you really let me go?" ”
"There's no way, Chen Yingliang found out about my arrest of you, he was my boss and forced me to release him, so I had to let you go." Chen Yingliang continued to swagger and deceive under Mulan's sign, and said with a smile: "Besides, what's the use of leaving you behind?" In addition to feeding you every day, I also have to take care of your daily life, and I have to get up at night to cover you with a quilt, what use can I do except ask for trouble? ”
Thinking of getting along with Chen Yingliang for a few days, as well as all the things that happened in it, Shan Lili's little face turned a little red, and she said in a low voice: "Thank you, you are a good person, I thought you were a ......, I thought you were a thief, but now I understand that I blame you wrong." Thank you, thank you for being kind to me. ”
"Just say thank you?" Chen Yingliang squatted down with a smile, put his face in front of Shan Luoli, and said with a smile: "At least one should be fragrant, is this sincere?" ”
was already ready to be slapped, but after Shan Luoli blushed and hesitated for a long time, she really pursed her ruddy little mouth, kissed Chen Yingliang's not too ugly face, and then whispered: "Brother Mulan, my name is Shan Yingying, I won't forget you." ”
After that, Shan Luoli actually kissed Chen Yingliang on the face again, then turned around, covered her already hot little face and ran in the direction of Wagangzhai, leaving Chen Yingliang in a daze, and said secretly in her heart: "Could it be Stockholm syndrome?" If Mulan's girl knew that I had done such a thing under her sign, how would she clean me up? ”
Thinking of this, Chen Yingliang couldn't help but have some regrets, and said secretly: "Why didn't Zhang Xutuo leave Mulan to me?" How cool is it to take that girl to the north of Qinwang? It's already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the area around Yanmen Pass must be very cold, so it's good to have a pro-soldier captain who can warm the bed. ”
When Chen Yingliang was obsessed, he didn't know that Mulan, the object of his obscenity, was moaning in pain in the sleeping tent, and while changing the wound gauze for himself, he cursed in a low voice, "What kind of medicine did Shan Xiongxin take that puppeteer, why did he find me desperately?" injured me so badly, if I don't get hurt, the ambassador will definitely let me ...... with Qin Qiong. Forget it, the black-hearted one doesn't know how to come and see me, so why stay for him? ”
………………
Shan Yingying's safe return of course caused a huge sensation in Wagang Village, Shan Xiongxin cried with joy and hugged his sister to ask long and short questions at the same time, Li Mi finally established the first powerful prestige in Wagang Village, not only the officers and men of the Wagang Army began to respect and admire him, even some Zhai Rang, who ignored him, also began to face up to Li Mi's existence and began to allow Li Mi to participate in military discussions. At the same time, the great news of Zhang Xutuo's sudden withdrawal and retreat was also transmitted to the Wagang Village through the scout inspection, and the soldiers of the Wagang Army, who had already suffered a lot in front of Zhang Xutuo, cheered, and Li Mi finally had the first opportunity to express himself.
"King Zhai, don't miss the opportunity, you won't come again! Troops should be dispatched immediately to fight to the death with Chen Yingliang's thief! Li Mi said categorically: "Zhang Xutuo's sudden retreat, it must be a change in his rear, and he had to withdraw his troops to leave, after he left, the morale of Chen Yingliang's team will inevitably be greatly hit, and at this time, sending troops to fight with him is the most sure time to win!" ”
It's a pity that although Zhai Rang finally let Li Mi participate in the discussion of military intelligence, Li Mi's words are still very different from what he says, so after listening to Li Mi's Jian, Zhai Rang not only did not immediately adopt this correct Jian Yì that could make Chen Yingliang vomit blood, but also doubted: "Zhang Xutuo's old puppet suddenly withdrew his troops? Isn't it just to lure us into attacking? If we send troops to fight Chen Yingliang in a decisive battle, and he suddenly turns around and kills, or we send troops to pursue him, and Chen Yingliang takes the opportunity to attack our cottage, then won't we fall into the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on our backs? ”
"Brother Zhai has a point." Xu Shiyun also said: "Chen Yingliang's thief is too cunning, before we determine the truth of Zhang Xutuo's retreat, we had better be cautious and don't send troops to take risks, once we are hit, then it will be too late for us to regret it." ”
"Whether it's a treacherous plot or not, we can't send troops now." Shan Xiongxin also said: "Yingying's matter, we just owe Chen Yingliang a big favor, and at this time, we will send troops to fight him in a decisive battle, which is to take advantage of the danger of others, even if we win, it will only make our Wagang heroes discredited in the green forest." I mention yì, wait for another three days, and then send troops to fight him in a decisive battle three days later, not only not to fall into the mouth of the infamy of taking advantage of the danger of others, but also to confirm whether Zhang Xutuo really retreated! ”
Hearing Shan Xiongxin's construction, Zhai Rang, who was extremely afraid of being sandwiched by Chen Yingliang and Zhang Xutuo, nodded his head, praised it repeatedly, and immediately adopted it. However, Li Mi only smiled bitterly, and said secretly: "Talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality with Chen Yingliang's thief, you really don't know how to write dead words?" That traitor will only talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality when it is beneficial to him, pretending to be more like a righteous man and a gentleman than anyone else, and when it is not good for him, it is a despicable and shameless thing, this thief who is both a memorial arch and a bitch can do it! ”
With a bitter smile and a bitter smile, Li Mi's heart was still very excited, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Chen Xiaothief, there are many hidden dangers in Zhang Xutuo's rear, and the rear is forced to withdraw due to sudden changes, there can be no fake!" It's not bad to send troops again in three days, our two confidants and mortal enemies finally have a chance to fight to the death in a dignified manner! ”
Li Mi's long-awaited hope was finally disappointed, because on the afternoon of the third day of Zhang Xutuo's withdrawal, an edict that Chen Yingliang had been looking forward to for a long time was suddenly sent to the camp of the Peng Sui army.
Hearing Chen Yingliang's astonishing order, Qian Peng Wenwu was of course taken aback, and scrambled to ask, "Why?" Why go north? What to do with Wagang Thief Village? ”
"What is the Wagang Thief Village?" Chen Yingliang was even more arrogant, slapped the table heavily, and roared out a sentence that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Our Emperor Xià, surrounded by Turkic iron cavalry in Yanmen Pass, unable to get out, in danger, forced to order the world's soldiers and horses to go north to King Qin!" Is His Majesty the Emperor important, or is this small Wagang thief village important?! ”
Hearing Chen Yingliang's roar, the generals of the Peng Sui army first looked as white as paper, and then immediately showed ecstasy, because Qian Peng Wenwu knew very well that in the whole world, there was probably no second army that could be as lucky as the self-army, which was not only in a wartime state, but also had plenty of body, grain, grass and baggage, and at the same time, it was also near Baimadu, and it was so convenient for King Qin to go north! became the first army to rush to the king of Yanmen Guanqin, and the reward could not be less?
"It's finally time for this day." Chen Yingliang sighed in his heart, then raised his head and said secretly: "Farewell, Zhang Xutuo, it's not that I don't want to continue to be your deputy, it's that this mess is hopeless, I can only run away quickly, you take care." You can rest assured, during the battle of Odori Temple, if I can do it, I will do my best to save you. ”
In the evening of the same day, the troops of the Peng Sui army abandoned a thing that was not necessary, suddenly abandoned the fortified camp, and the whole army went north to Baimadu, and the Wagang army was shocked after finding out the news, because they could not determine the reason for the sudden release of the siege by the Peng Sui army, and they were afraid of Chen Yingliang, who had always been known for his trickery, they did not dare to immediately send the army to pursue, wasting the most precious time for attacking. It was not until it was repeatedly confirmed that Chen Yingliang did not arrange an ambush that the Wagang army sent troops to counterattack under Li Mi's repeated construction, but unfortunately the fighter plane had been missed, and finally caught up with the Kan Liang team, the general of the Sui army of Qian Peng, who was in a hurry, and was immediately attacked by the gunpowder bottle of Kan Liang's team, and the Wagang army team that encountered gunpowder weapons for the first time was frightened and chaotic, and the two generals Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong led the powerful Sui cavalry to kill from the left and right flanks, and the Wagang army was forced to lose, and the Sui army in a hurry did not pursue, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. The huge Wagangzhai campaign ended with a tiger and a snake tail because Zhang Xutuo and Chen Yingliang took the initiative to retreat.
It wasn't until the Sui army crossed the Yellow River and crossed the Linqing Pass into Hanoi County that Li Mi passed through the channel of his brother-in-law Qiu Junming and learned the news that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was surrounded by Turkic iron cavalry at Yanmen Pass. But came to the battlefield of Wagangzhai and waited patiently for this huge change? If this is the case, then did Chen Xiaothief secretly collude with the Turks, or did he have the ability to predict the future? ”
In addition, on the night of Chen Yingliang's withdrawal from the siege to the north, there was also a small incident that changed history - in order to extort his son-in-law more efficiently, Wang Shichong of Jiangdu County once again sent his beloved nephew Wang Ren to the west of the Wagangzhai battlefield, and contacted his son-in-law to extort more war money and food. It only took more than two days to bring the news to Wang Shichong, who had already crossed Surabaya, first was ecstatic when he heard the news, and then cried loudly, and finally ordered the whole army to go straight to Yanmen Pass without hesitation, and marched all the way to rob his son-in-law Qin Wang of the credit.
As in history, Wang Shichong led the people of Jiangdu to Yanmen to save the country, unkempt in the team, crying so much that he lost his normality, did not take off his armor day and night, lay on the grass to sleep, and showed his loyalty to Emperor Yang of Sui to the fullest. is slightly different from history, while crying bitterly in front of people, Wang Shichong inevitably laughed in his heart......
"It seems that it's not bad to do a good thing once in a while, at least it's a little rewarding, I can't imagine that helping Chen Xiaozi, an unscrupulous son-in-law, to suppress thieves actually saved me at least twenty days of time to prepare, send troops and enter the army! This time, even if the old man can't be the first to lead the army to the king, he can at least participate in the battle of Yanmen Pass, so that the emperor can see the old man's loyalty to him with his own eyes! "Together, right? If Mulan's girl knew that I had done such a thing under her sign, how would she clean me up? ”
Thinking of this, Chen Yingliang couldn't help but have some regrets, and said secretly: "Why didn't Zhang Xutuo leave Mulan to me?" How cool is it to take that girl to the north of Qinwang? It's already the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the area around Yanmen Pass must be very cold, so it's good to have a pro-soldier captain who can warm the bed. ”
When Chen Yingliang was obsessed, he didn't know that Mulan, the object of his obscenity, was moaning in pain in the sleeping tent, and while changing the wound gauze for himself, he cursed in a low voice, "What kind of medicine did Shan Xiongxin take that puppeteer, why did he find me desperately?" injured me so badly, if I don't get hurt, the ambassador will definitely let me ...... with Qin Qiong. Forget it, the black-hearted one doesn't know how to come and see me, so why stay for him? ”

That traitor will only talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality when it is beneficial to him, pretending to be more like a righteous man and a gentleman than anyone else, and when it is not good for him, it is a despicable and shameless thing, this thief who is both a memorial arch and a bitch can do it! ”
With a bitter smile and a bitter smile, Li Mi's heart was still very excited, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Chen Xiaothief, there are many hidden dangers in Zhang Xutuo's rear, and the rear is forced to withdraw due to sudden changes, there can be no fake!" It's not bad to send troops again in three days, our two confidants and mortal enemies finally have a chance to fight to the death in a dignified manner! ”
Li Mi's long-awaited hope was finally disappointed, because on the afternoon of the third day of Zhang Xutuo's withdrawal, an edict that Chen Yingliang had been looking forward to for a long time was suddenly sent to the camp of the Peng Sui army.
Hearing Chen Yingliang's astonishing order, Qian Peng Wenwu was of course taken aback, and scrambled to ask, "Why?" Why go north? What to do with Wagang Thief Village? ”
"What is the Wagang Thief Village?" Chen Yingliang was even more arrogant, slapped the table heavily, and roared out a sentence that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Our Emperor Xià, surrounded by Turkic iron cavalry in Yanmen Pass, unable to get out, in danger, forced to order the world's soldiers and horses to go north to King Qin!" Is His Majesty the Emperor important, or is this small Wagang thief village important?! ”
Hearing Chen Yingliang's roar, the generals of the Peng Sui army first looked as white as paper, and then immediately showed ecstasy, because Qian Peng Wenwu knew very well that in the whole world, there was probably no second army that could be as lucky as the self-army, which was not only in a wartime state, but also had plenty of body, grain, grass and baggage, and at the same time, it was also near Baimadu, and it was so convenient for King Qin to go north! became the first army to rush to the king of Yanmen Guanqin, and the reward could not be less?
"It's finally time for this day." Chen Yingliang sighed in his heart, then raised his head and said secretly: "Farewell, Zhang Xutuo, it's not that I don't want to continue to be your deputy, it's that this mess is hopeless, I can only run away quickly, you take care." You can rest assured, during the battle of Odori Temple, if I can do it, I will do my best to save you. ”
In the evening of the same day, the troops of the Peng Sui army abandoned a thing that was not necessary, suddenly abandoned the fortified camp, and the whole army went north to Baimadu, and the Wagang army was shocked after finding out the news, because they could not determine the reason for the sudden release of the siege by the Peng Sui army, and they were afraid of Chen Yingliang, who had always been known for his trickery, they did not dare to immediately send the army to pursue, wasting the most precious time for attacking. It was not until it was repeatedly confirmed that Chen Yingliang did not arrange an ambush that the Wagang army sent troops to counterattack under Li Mi's repeated construction, but unfortunately the fighter plane had been missed, and finally caught up with the Kan Liang team, the general of the Sui army of Qian Peng, who was in a hurry, and was immediately attacked by the gunpowder bottle of Kan Liang's team, and the Wagang army team that encountered gunpowder weapons for the first time was frightened and chaotic, and the two generals Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong led the powerful Sui cavalry to kill from the left and right flanks, and the Wagang army was forced to lose, and the Sui army in a hurry did not pursue, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. The huge Wagangzhai campaign ended with a tiger and a snake tail because Zhang Xutuo and Chen Yingliang took the initiative to retreat.
It wasn't until the Sui army crossed the Yellow River and crossed the Linqing Pass into Hanoi County that Li Mi passed through the channel of his brother-in-law Qiu Junming and learned the news that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was surrounded by Turkic iron cavalry at Yanmen Pass. But came to the battlefield of Wagangzhai and waited patiently for this huge change? If this is the case, then did Chen Xiaothief secretly collude with the Turks, or did he have the ability to predict the future? ”
In addition, on the night of Chen Yingliang's withdrawal from the siege to the north, there was also a small incident that changed history - in order to extort his son-in-law more efficiently, Wang Shichong of Jiangdu County once again sent his beloved nephew Wang Ren to the west of the Wagangzhai battlefield, and contacted his son-in-law to extort more war money and food. It only took more than two days to bring the news to Wang Shichong, who had already crossed Surabaya, first was ecstatic when he heard the news, and then cried loudly, and finally ordered the whole army to go straight to Yanmen Pass without hesitation, and marched all the way to rob his son-in-law Qin Wang of the credit.
As in history, Wang Shichong led the people of Jiangdu to Yanmen to save the country, unkempt in the team, crying so much that he lost his normality, did not take off his armor day and night, lay on the grass to sleep, and showed his loyalty to Emperor Yang of Sui to the fullest. is slightly different from history, while crying bitterly in front of people, Wang Shichong inevitably laughed in his heart......
"It seems that it's not bad to do a good thing once in a while, at least it's a little rewarding, I can't imagine that helping Chen Xiaozi, an unscrupulous son-in-law, to suppress thieves actually saved me at least twenty days of time to prepare, send troops and enter the army! This time, even if the old man can't be the first to lead the army to the king, he can at least participate in the battle of Yanmen Pass, so that the emperor can see the old man's loyalty to him with his own eyes! ”
