Chapter 316: It turned out to be a fraudulent surrender

Hearing Pei Xingfang's report of asking to see, Xiao Huaijing, who was talking secretly with his relatives in Tiger Prison, was really taken aback, and subconsciously refused to ask to see him under the pretext of being unwell, and the relatives who came from Tiger Prison were not panicked, but sneered under the custody of the two absolute cronies of Uncle Xiao Xiao, his face was full of fearlessness, and his calm expression made Uncle Xiao Guo, who was already flustered, even more frightened, and also made Uncle Xiao Guo want to cut him down even more by his two henchmen.

"Xiao Jianjun, you can kill me." As if seeing through Uncle Xiao Xiao's thoughts, the relatives of Tiger Prison Pass said very directly, and sneered: "But please don't forget, when you bathed in well water in Tiger Prison Pass, although Pushan Gong Li Mi forgave you, but your guard seal or something, it is still in our hands." You were taken out of the Tiger Prison by Pushan Gong, why did he let you go, and what did he let you go back for, we don't have much interest in knowing, but we feel that the tyrant and the court should be very interested in knowing this. ”

Sweat seeped out of Uncle Xiao Xiao's forehead, Uncle Xiao knew that Li Mi would use this to blackmail himself sooner or later, but he never expected that Zhai Rang and his group would not intend to let him go, originally Zhai Rang had some handle in his hand Uncle Xiao Guo had an excuse to explain, but Uncle Xiao Guo knew very well that with his own behavior and personal relationship, even if the handle of the Wagang Army could not immediately put him to death, it was enough to help his political enemies show their strength, and let themselves be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and then attract the investigation and questioning of the imperial court. Then there will be a lot of killings............

After thinking nervously for a moment, Uncle Xiao Guo thought about it again and again, and could only ask tentatively: "Then what do you plan to do with me?" I have a word in advance, it is true that I am a prisoner, but I have no military power in my hands. ”

"I don't need your military power, I just ask you to help us confirm the truth of a piece of news." The relatives of Tiger Prison Guan smiled, and then took out a letter from the underwear and threw it in front of Uncle Xiao Guo.

After reading the letter signed by the current Wagang military advisor Bing Yuanzhen and Zhai Rang himself, Uncle Xiao Guo, who was still frightened before, suddenly opened his mouth and blurted out: "What? Bae In-ki, he's going to ...... too! ”

"Report!" The soldiers came to Uncle Xiao Xiao's tent again, and said loudly through the curtain: "Qi Qi Jian Jun, Pei Huxing refused to leave, saying that he must see you immediately, there are 100,000 urgent matters to inform you, and also said that his brother Chen Yingliang Chen stayed behind to explain, please meet immediately." ”

"Chen Yingliang?!"

Uncle Xiao Guo was so shocked that the letter in his hand almost landed, and the relatives of Tiger Prison Pass on the opposite side also frowned, and after a little calculation, the relatives of Tiger Prison Pass also ordered on his behalf: "Xiao Jian Jun, you'd better meet this Pei Huxing, maybe he really has something big." ”

Gritting his teeth, Uncle Xiao Guo made up his mind, first invited the relatives of the Tiger Prison Pass to the tent to take refuge temporarily, and then explained that the two henchmen and soldiers closely guarded the relatives, and then ordered to meet Pei Xingfang, and after the relatives of the Tiger Prison Pass arrived at the tent, they naturally immediately put their ears to the wall of the tent and eavesdropped.

After a while, Pei Xingfang was invited into Uncle Xiao Xiao's bedroom, first according to Pei Hongce's seniority, he gave Uncle Xiao Xiao a junior ceremony, Uncle Xiao Guo also excused himself to be unwell before, and explained the refusal to see, and then asked Pei Xingfang to sit down, Pei Xingfang looked at the left and right very mysteriously, Uncle Xiao Guo understood, but refused to drive away the few remaining bodyguards around him, just said: "If the virtuous nephew has something to say, it doesn't hurt to be blunt, these are all my personal soldiers, don't worry about leaking secrets." ”

"Uncle's forgiveness is a matter of importance, and this can only be said to you alone." Pei Xingfang apologized, and added: "This is also my brother's arrangement, and he doesn't want too many people to know." ”

The fox glanced at Pei Xingfang suspiciously, seeing his resolute attitude, Uncle Xiao hesitated slightly, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers out of the account, Pei Xingfang also thanked Uncle Xiao Xiao, and then said to Uncle Xiao Xiao: "Uncle Xiao, I can't hide it, my brother asked me to ask you to go back to Luokoucang with me to check the error of the money and food of the Henan army." ”

"Go back to Luokou Warehouse to check the error of money and grain?" Uncle Xiao Guo was stunned and said suspiciously: "Virtuous nephew, haven't you already come here to check a few days ago?" Why do you have to check? ”

"Uncle Hui, there are a few accounts that are not very clear, and I ask you to go to Luokoucang to check them in person." Pei Xingfang replied, and urged: "Uncle Xiao, time is running out, please do your best to follow your little nephew on the road." ”

"...... this?" Uncle Xiao Guo was full of doubts, and after a little recollection, Uncle Xiao Guo immediately felt that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Wait, virtuous nephew, didn't you come to check the grain and grass account just the day before yesterday?" Why did Chen Liushou send you to take me back today, and go to Luokoucang to check again? It's only been how long it has been since Chen stayed in the Eastern Capital City to know the situation, and he gave you another order? ”

It was Pei Xingfang's turn to open his mouth and stammer, his expression was embarrassed, and Pei Xingfang said: "Uncle forgive the sin, the little nephew sent the news to my brother with an expedited three hundred li, brother, after he knew that the amount of grain and grass for the Henan Arresting Army was wrong, he gave me an order with an expedited three hundred li, and asked me to ask my uncle to go back to Luokoucang to check in person, and check the whereabouts of the grain and grass that does not match the accounts - uncle, you also know that my brother is not only staying in the eastern capital, but also has the duty of inspecting the internal history of Henan, and the Henan Capture Army is fighting on the land of Henan County, The grain and grass are supplied by Henan County, so he must care about his brother. ”

Listening to Pei Xingfang's words full of loopholes, Uncle Xiao Guo was no longer full of doubts, but full of vigilance, and immediately asked: "Virtuous nephew, what you said is not right, Chen Yingliang stayed behind to inspect the internal history of Henan, and he also has the right to check the military ration accounts of the Henan army, but how big is this?" Why did you use the 300-mile fake rush? Why did Chen Liushou use three hundred miles to reply to you urgently? ”

The two sentences made Pei Xingfang stammer, and Uncle Xiao Guo became suspicious, so he simply asked directly: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Chen Liushou is very concerned about this matter, where is the official document?" I am a lowly official in front of Chen Liushou, but I am also the supervisor of the Henan Arrest Army, Chen Liushou wants to recall me back to Luokoucang, at least there must be an official document sealed by His Royal Highness King Yue, right? Where is the Kumon? Please also ask the virtuous nephew to show it. ”

Pei Xingfang was even more speechless, and after a while, he said with an embarrassed expression: "Uncle, don't ask these words, as long as you go back to Luokoucang with your little nephew, and the little nephew is also for your good." In short, don't worry, uncle, you are going back to Luokoucang now, you are merit and innocent, brother, I will naturally give you an explanation, my father has been an official in the same dynasty with you for many years, please believe me. ”

"This little brute, why do you have to let me go back to Luokoucang?" Uncle Xiao Xiao was even more puzzled in his heart, and bullied Pei Xingfang when he was young and had just entered his career, so he shook his head and said: "Virtuous nephew, public is public, private is private, I have been an official in the same dynasty as your father for many years, but after all, I am a prisoner, and I can't go with you without an official edict." ”

"Uncle, don't ask more." Pei Xingfang stood up, his face was full of anxiety, and he said: "Uncle, the little nephew is really for your good, but also for your safety, I won't hide it from you, not only do I want to invite you back to Luokoucang, but I also want to bring back all the seriously injured in the rear camp, you should believe this, right?" If you don't believe me, you can go to the back camp now to see if the soldiers brought by the little nephew from Luokoucang are transferring the seriously wounded? ”

Uncle Xiao Guo was even more puzzled and surprised, and seeing Pei Xingfang pleading again and again, Uncle Xiao Guo felt that something was wrong, and suddenly remembered a possibility, so he hurriedly asked: "Nephew, why did you take the seriously injured away?" They stayed in the back camp, and they were safe, why did you take them back to Luokoucang? ”

"It's not a good place here, so I'm going to bring them back." Pei Xingfang wiped his forehead and explained, and urged: "Uncle, don't ask more, in short, please follow me back to Luokoucang, and when you meet my brother in Luokoucang, you can know everything......." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Xingfang hurriedly covered his mouth, his face was full of remorse, Uncle Xiao Guo observed his words, and his face suddenly changed, and he immediately asked in surprise: "Virtuous nephew, what do you mean by this?" Will you be able to see your brother when you go back to Luokoucang? Could it be that Chen Yingliang Chen stayed behind and is now in Luokoucang? ”

Needless to say, of course, the relatives of Tiger Prison Pass who were eavesdropping on the tent wall had already changed their faces greatly, Pei Xingfang was full of regret, pursed his lips and said nothing, Uncle Xiao Guo was even more suspicious, and remembered the letter of the Wagang Army hidden in his sleeve at this moment, his face suddenly changed again, and he immediately asked in a low voice: "Virtuous nephew, why did Chen Liushou come to Luokoucang?" Why didn't I hear anything before? ”

Pei Xingfang's face changed gloomily, and he smiled bitterly for a while before he said: "Uncle, my brother really didn't know that you had returned here from Guancheng, otherwise, don't say a letter sealed by His Royal Highness King Yue, even if there are ten ways." ”

"Pei Renji, old horseman, is he really deceiving and luring the enemy?!" Uncle Xiao Guo is not stupid, he immediately guessed the cause and effect of the matter, and secretly said in his heart: "Pei Renji's old puppet will definitely not be able to take the tiger prison, and the only hope is Chen Yingliang's thief!" Chen Xiaothief secretly instructed him to surrender, lure the Wagang thief out of the customs, and take the opportunity to ambush him, but Chen Xiaothief didn't know that I had returned to Pei Renji's army, and such a big military operation must be known to me, Chen Xiaothief was not prepared in advance, and he couldn't reasonably transfer me back to Luokoucang, and he was afraid that I would oppose and hinder Pei Renji's old puppet, so he sent Pei Xingfang, a little puppet, to trick me back?! ”

Uncle Xiao Guo was secretly observing Pei Xingfang's expression, of course Pei Xingfang was also quietly paying attention to Uncle Xiao Xiao's reaction, seeing that Uncle Xiao Guo was already suspicious, Pei Xingfang hurriedly said: "Uncle Xiao, the little nephew doesn't dare to hide it from you, this is not exactly what my brother meant, in fact, my uncle sent me to do this, he can assure you that after the matter is completed, you will definitely have a share of the military achievements." The little nephew can also tell you clearly, and the uncle also has some scruples now, so he doesn't dare to come to inform you about this in person. ”

Uncle Xiao bit his lip and suddenly asked, "How many soldiers and horses did Chen Liushou bring?" ”

"Twenty-six ......."

Pei Xingfang blurted out, then quickly covered his mouth again, and asked with a shocked face: "Uncle Xiao, how do you know that my brother brought soldiers and horses?" ”

The relatives of the Tiger Prison Pass behind the tent suddenly realized, and Uncle Xiao Guo in the front account had no doubts, and sneered: "Virtuous nephew, you also underestimate the old man, right?" Chen Liushou made such a big move, and he could hide it from the old man's eyes? ”

Pei Xingfang was dumbfounded, and after thinking about it again, Pei Xingfang arched his hand and said: "Uncle don't blame, the only omission in this matter is still in my uncle Pei Dashuai, he forgot that this matter must be agreed by you, so he didn't inform my brother that you have returned to the army, and when he knew it, it was too late to ask His Royal Highness the King of Yue to issue a decree to transfer you back, so he had to do it." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Xingfang simply knelt down to Uncle Xiao Xiao, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted solemnly, and said sincerely: "This matter is very important, and it is related to whether the imperial court can recapture the Tiger Prison Pass, and I also ask your uncle to take state affairs first, after the matter is completed, uncle and brother will naturally not forget this favor." ”

The relatives of the Tiger Prison behind the tent quietly wiped their cold sweat, and they were extremely glad that Bing Yuan was really careful and cautious. Uncle Xiao Guo still refused to give up, and asked again, "What are you going to do?" When to get your hands on? ”

Pei Xingfang finally didn't fall for it this time, but just arched his hand and said: "Uncle Xiao, the specific little nephew only knows a little, but I'm sorry, the little nephew can't say another word, uncle, if you still want to know other things, you can only wait for the little nephew to ask the elder brother and uncle, and then tell you in detail." ”

"Then you go back and sue SΓΉ Pei Dashuai, if he has any plans, he can sue me directly, as long as it is for the important affairs of the court, I will definitely support him." Uncle Xiao Guo said proudly: "Also, please return to Chen to stay behind, although Xiao is a humble position, he is still the supervisor of the Henan Arrest Army, please bring the official documents of the imperial court." Otherwise, Xiao didn't have the courage to leave his post without permission. ”

Pei Xingfang's expression was extremely sad, and when he pleaded again, Uncle Xiao Guo, who had a special identity, was fearless, and still insisted on seeing the official document of the imperial court before leaving with Pei Xingfang, and even asked Pei Renji to explain to himself in person, Pei Xingfang was forced to be helpless, so he had to give up his promise, and then said: "Uncle, then you have to wait, I also have to persuade my uncle, you also know that his old man's temper and character are ......, alas, don't mention it, the little nephew will leave." ”

After that, Pei Xingfang saluted and retired, and Uncle Xiao Xiao did not stay, and arranged for his own soldiers to escort him away, and as soon as Pei Xingfang left on the front foot, the back foot of the Tiger Prison Pass relatives jumped into the front tent, and said to Uncle Xiao Xiao with a smile: "Thank you Xiao Jian Jun, you have made a great contribution to our Wagang Volunteer Master this time, and they will definitely not forget your favor, and they will be grateful in the future." The villain's errand has been completed, can you say goodbye? ”

After all, he is a relative of the emperor and a court official for many years, Uncle Xiao Xiao was still a little hesitant for a while, but considering that his vital handle was held in the hands of the Wagang army, and remembered Pei Renji's injustice and blackmail to him at the beginning, for the sake of his life, and for the sake of his life, and for the sake of Pei Renji's head being cut off by Emperor Yang of Sui, Uncle Xiao Guo hesitated again and again, and finally decided to be a favor, waved his hand, and said weakly: "You go, don't come to me in the future." ”

"Definitely, definitely." The relatives of Tiger Prison Pass agreed with a smile, and only after thanking him again did he leave the account with Uncle Xiao Xiao's cronies, leaving Uncle Xiao Guo in the tent looking at the top of the tent in a daze, with a sad face thinking about how to deal with more extortion and extortion by the Wagang Army in the future.

…………

Of course, Pei Xingfang didn't know what happened after he left, after leaving Uncle Xiao Xiao's military tent, Pei Xingfang immediately returned to the back camp, found his distant cousin Chen Fuliang who was helping ordinary soldiers carry the seriously wounded, and gave Chen Fuliang a general introduction to Chen Fuliang about the time he met Uncle Xiao Guo, and patted his chest to Chen Fuliang and promised: "Brother rest assured, little brother can guarantee that Xiao Huaijing has completely believed that brother, you have arrived at Luokoucang, and I also believe that brother, you have quietly come to Luokoucang with more than 20,000 troops to set up an ambush." Coming to this conclusion, Xiao Huaijing could guess that his uncle's surrender was actually a fraudulent surrender even if he was confused. ”

"Well done, and cleverly hinted." Chen Fuliang praised his distant cousin, but there was no joy on his face, his brows were furrowed very tightly, and he said: "But whether Xiao Huaijing is news or not, this is not important, the important thing is whether this Xiao Huaijing is a traitor sent by the Wagang thief?" Brother Xian, during your contact with Xiao Huaijing, did you notice any clues? ”

"It's ......." After all, he is still young, and he is not a time-traveler who has transcended the times for thousands of years, no matter how much Pei Xingfang has unlimited potential, he will inevitably be a little dumbfounded after listening to Chen Fuliang's question, and after recalling it carefully, Pei Xingfang can only bow his head and say: "Brother forgives, younger brother is incompetent, I can't judge whether Xiao Huaijing is really as my brother expected, it is a traitor in Wagang." ”

"It's not that you're incompetent, it's that your time is too hasty, and there is no other circumstantial evidence, it's good that you can do this." Chen Fuliang shook his head, in the case of insufficient information, Chen Yingliang, like Pei Xingfang, could not judge the situation on Uncle Xiao's side.

At this time, Luo Shixin also quickly came to Chen Fuliang's side, saying that Qin Qiong sent someone to report, saying that Jia Yanfu's people went to Qin Qiong's camp again to look for Jia Yanfu, although Qin Qiong temporarily sent away people under the pretext that Jia Yanfu had left, but it was definitely not a long time to hide, so Qin Qiong asked Chen Fuliang to make up his mind and decide what to do.

Although the evidence of the crime of detaining Jia Yanfu without authorization is sufficient and conclusive, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, He Yanyu and others are still Pei Renji's direct subordinates after all, and Chen Fuliang also has to consider their position and situation, although the grasp is not very large, but after gritting his teeth, Chen Fuliang quickly instructed Pei Xingfang: "Brother Xian, you take the seriously wounded and go first, withdraw to Luokoucang, send someone to notify Luokoucang, and let Liu Changgong, Ma Sanbao, and Kan Liang immediately be fully alerted and prepare for battle." ”

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Pei Xingfang hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, Wei Chi Jingde and the three dogs will stay with me." Chen Fuliang replied quietly: "I want to bring the old department left by Zhang Xutuo, as well as my old department in the Eastern Capital, back to Luokoucang." So I can't go right now, I'll have to wait. ”

"Brother......."

Pei Xingfang was shocked and wanted to object, but Chen Fuliang waved his hand to interrupt him, and said: "Brother Xian doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I know the danger, but I have no choice, for the sake of Zhang Dashuai's old brothers, and for the innocent soldiers of the Henan Hunting Army, I must take this risk." ”

After that, Chen Fuliang smiled slightly, patted Luo Shixin on the shoulder next to him and said with a smile: "Besides, more than a month ago, I took Wei Chi Jingde and three dogs, and the three people and three horsemen dared to stop the elite of the Wagang thieves, I was not afraid at that time, now I not only have Wei Chi Jingde and the three dogs by my side, but also Shixin, Yanyu and Qin Qiong, the loyal and brave soldiers of Qi County, such a majestic lineup, not to mention the little Pei Renji, even the Wagang thieves poured out, and they couldn't help me." ”

Of course, the future star Pei Xingfang could see that Chen Fuliang was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, and he could also hear that Chen Fuliang was actually not sure - otherwise, with Chen Fuliang's hypocritical character, he would not have directly called Pei Renji's name. Therefore, although Chen Fuliang's words were beautiful and calm, Pei Xingfang was still worried, but Luo Shixin next to him did not have so many fancy intestines, hearing that Chen Fuliang trusted them so much, Luo Shixin immediately patted his chest and said: "Brother Xingfang, you can go with confidence, with us, no matter what happens, we will definitely ensure the safety of Chen Liushou." Although Qiong temporarily sent away people under the pretext that Jia Yanfu had left, it would definitely not be able to hide it for a long time, so Qin Qiong asked Chen Fuliang to make up his mind and decide what to do.

Although the evidence of the crime of detaining Jia Yanfu without authorization is sufficient and conclusive, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, He Yanyu and others are still Pei Renji's direct subordinates after all, and Chen Fuliang also has to consider their position and situation, although the grasp is not very large, but after gritting his teeth, Chen Fuliang quickly instructed Pei Xingfang: "Brother Xian, you take the seriously wounded and go first, withdraw to Luokoucang, send someone to notify Luokoucang, and let Liu Changgong, Ma Sanbao, and Kan Liang immediately be fully alerted and prepare for battle." ”

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Pei Xingfang hurriedly asked.

"I'm fine, Wei Chi Jingde and the three dogs will stay with me." Chen Fuliang replied quietly: "I want to bring the old department left by Zhang Xutuo, as well as my old department in the Eastern Capital, back to Luokoucang." So I can't go right now, I'll have to wait. ”

"Brother......."

Pei Xingfang was shocked and wanted to object, but Chen Fuliang waved his hand to interrupt him, and said: "Brother Xian doesn't need to persuade me anymore, I know the danger, but I have no choice, for the sake of Zhang Dashuai's old brothers, and for the innocent soldiers of the Henan Hunting Army, I must take this risk." ”

After that, Chen Fuliang smiled slightly, patted Luo Shixin on the shoulder next to him and said with a smile: "Besides, more than a month ago, I took Wei Chi Jingde and three dogs, and the three people and three horsemen dared to stop the elite of the Wagang thieves, I was not afraid at that time, now I not only have Wei Chi Jingde and the three dogs by my side, but also Shixin, Yanyu and Qin Qiong, the loyal and brave soldiers of Qi County, such a majestic lineup, not to mention the little Pei Renji, even the Wagang thieves poured out, and they couldn't help me." ”

Of course, the future star Pei Xingfang could see that Chen Fuliang was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, and he could also hear that Chen Fuliang was actually not sure - otherwise, with Chen Fuliang's hypocritical character, he would not have directly called Pei Renji's name. Therefore, although Chen Fuliang's words were beautiful and calm, Pei Xingfang was still worried, but Luo Shixin next to him did not have so many fancy intestines, hearing that Chen Fuliang trusted them so much, Luo Shixin immediately patted his chest and said: "Brother Xingfang, you can go with confidence, with us, no matter what happens, we will definitely ensure the safety of Chen Liushou." ”
