After resting in Yanmen City for a day, with the consent of Emperor Yang of Sui, Chen Yingliang once again returned to the camp of Qinwang Sui's army as the commander of Qinwang Sui's army, presiding over the rest of the battle on the Yanmen battlefield and dealing with various aftermath matters.

In fact, the main thing is to deal with the aftermath, on the same day that Chen Yingliang returned to the army, Qu Tutong, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, also led the army of King Qin to the Yanmen battlefield, plus the Jingzhao County Cheng Guyi who arrived with food on the first day, the army under his command has not yet been captured on the battlefield, Chen Yingliang, who is very good at being a man, simply gave the rest of the war to Qu Tutong and Guyi, so that they could lead the army eastward to chase and kill the remnants of the enemy to make some credit, and also took the opportunity to let the tired divisions such as Qian Peng Sui Army and Zuo Tunwei rest and recuperate, treat the wounded soldiers and count the casualties.

Thousands of miles to the Yanmen battlefield Qin Wang made meritorious contributions, but the army had not yet reached the decisive battle, and even the first Bi Khan was taken prisoner by Chen Yingliang in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, the depression of the famous general Qu Tutong of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the loyal ministers of the Sui Dynasty Gu Yi can be imagined, but it is good to have no fish and shrimp, knowing that Chen Yingliang arranged this arrangement to take care of it, so that the soldiers of the army would not run in vain, Qu Tutong and Gu Yi were still very happy to take over the pursuit task, and led the army under their command to pursue eastward, and at the same time, Qu Tutong and Gu Yi naturally had to quietly inquire Chen Yingliang, Ask what kind of reward Chen Yingliang received?

Considering that the other generals and soldiers have not yet been rewarded, in order not to irritate everyone, Chen Fuliang was very vague and perfunctory about this issue, temporarily concealing the fact that he had been awarded the title of General of the Right Military Guard, and was very low-key in dealing with the aftermath affairs, not discussing and analyzing with the generals how generous Emperor Yang of Sui would be, and secretly set out to adapt his own Peng lineage into the Right Military Guard, so that they could continue to be cattle and horses for themselves in the future.

Of course, Chen Yingliang must first obtain the consent of Emperor Yang of Sui to do this, but fortunately, Emperor Yang of Sui personally conquered Goguryeo three times, the government soldiers fled to Yan Zhan, and the right military guard was also short of personnel Yan Zhan, and knew that the army brought out by Chen Yingliang could fight, and Emperor Yang of Sui agreed to Chen Yingliang's request with a wave of his hand. It's just that Chen Yingliang also knew that the melon field and Li Xia needed to avoid suspicion, even if Emperor Yang of Sui nodded, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and he was very smart to only recruit about 8,000 Qian Peng elite to join the right military guard, and the rest of the army, some of the homesick and war-weary people were sent dry food for the road and disbanded home, and some of them continued to be retained as township soldiers, ready to be deployed in the counties of Henan County, so that they could be called at any time - fortunately, Henan Zanzhi is still Pei Hongce, and there is no need to worry about this link.

By the way, in the process of secretly reorganizing the army, Chen Yingliang was very surprised to get the full help of Yu Wenshu, the general of the Left Guard, although he knew that Chen Yingliang was holding the thigh of the Pei family, Yu Wenshu still spared no effort to help Chen Yingliang reorganize the team, not only to equip and equip, but also to prepare and strengthen, and to instruct Chen Yingliang how to skillfully change the identity of the Peng Township soldiers, and also came forward as the first person in the military, transferred some useless right military guard generals, and made room for Chen Yingliang's generals. Chen Yingliang didn't want to take out a heavy gift to thank him, and Yu Wenshu, who had always been insatiable, rarely refused to be honest once, just asking Chen Yingliang to go to his home more often after returning to Beijing.

To be honest, Yuwenshu's attitude really frightened Chen Yingliang, for fear that this old greedy man wanted to go up to the house to draw a ladder, and first raise himself so that he could fall even worse. However, his cousin Li Jingdong, who already knew Chen Yingliang's new official position, watched the fire, smiled and comforted Chen Yingliang: "Don't worry, the virtuous nephew doesn't have to worry, Xu Guogong is just doing a favor like this, and he has no conflict of interest with you and Wen Xi Pei's family." There is also a relationship with Yun Dingxing, and your appointment as the general of the Right Wuwei will not harm him, and the future may still count on you to help in the military, give you some favors, and further consolidate your indirect relationship with him, wouldn't it be better to use you in the future? ”

"Besides, he invited you to walk around his house more often after returning to Beijing, can't you see such an obvious hint?" Li Jing smiled again and said: "Virtuous nephew, you are only nineteen years old this year, and you have already been awarded the title of General of the Right Military Guard, as long as you don't go on a business trip in the future, and survive until the older generation passes away, his position in Yuwenshu is likely to be yours sooner or later. ”

Chen Yingliang nodded when he heard this, and sighed again: "It's all caused by the position of the right military guard, and the seal is too high, so high that I am frightened, for fear that I will step on the air and die without a place to be buried." ”

"It's good that the virtuous nephew has such a consciousness." Li Jing also sighed, and pointed out: "Since ancient times, you have been accompanied by a king like a tiger, virtuous nephew, you are in a high position at such a young age, although you are glorious, but it is also like being in danger, only by being a low-key person can you avoid disaster." ”

Chen Fuliang nodded again and again after hearing this, and was thinking in his heart, "According to the normal historical development, in two more years, Emperor Yang of Sui should also die in Jiangdu, in these two years, the first thing I have to do is to protect myself, and the second is not to go to Jiangdu, as long as I survive these two years, then things will be easy to do." ”

In front of the new force of the Sui army, the Turkic defeated soldiers who were frightened like a bird with a bow had no power to fight back, and the army that was barely reorganized was quickly defeated again, and then Xue Shixiong also took the Zhuojun Qinwang army out of the Taihang Mountains and appeared in the east of the battlefield. Then Emperor Yang of Sui, who was still angry with the Turks, also issued a holy decree, ordering all Turkic captives to be put to death, and the corpses were built into a Jingguan. The ****** that had flourished for a time also collapsed as a result, and there was no longer the strength to threaten the Central Plains for at least twenty years.

Then of course, the next step is to retreat, the frightened Emperor Yang of Sui also learned a little more this time, and decided to return directly to the eastern capital Luoyang to rest, all the Qinwang troops continued to escort south, Chen Yingliang of course also had to go along, at the same time, Chen Yingliang naturally had to ask Li Jing to go south with him, and said that he could transfer Li Jing to the right military guard through the door of guò Pei Ju and Yu Wenshu, but unfortunately Li Jing rejected Chen Yingliang's kindness, saying that Chen Yingliang had just entered the right military guard, and he could not adjust the personnel too much, too much to touch the interests of the old man of the right military guard, Add more trouble to Chen Yingliang and continue to stay in Mayi as a county minister.

After persuading him several times, Li Jing refused to accept Chen Yingliang's kindness, Chen Yingliang had no choice but to respect his cousin's choice, and agreed with Li Jing instead, until once his position was firm, he would immediately transfer Li Jing to the right guard, and Li Jing agreed with a smile. Then when Chen Yingliang asked to bring Hu Jingde to his side to listen to it, he was stunned to learn that Hu Jingde was actually surnamed Wei Chi, with the same name as a certain god, fortunately, Li Jing was not bad to his cousin, and he agreed to give Wei Chi Jingde to his cousin and nephew.

…………

After saying goodbye to Li Jing in tears, Chen Yingliang, who had stepped down as the commander of King Qin, led the army to escort south, passing through Taiyuan, Chen Yingliang naturally had to go to meet the old Bole Fan Zigai, thank him for his promotion and favor, listen to his teachings and guidance, and then had nothing to say all the way, at the beginning of October, the army escorted Emperor Yang of Sui Shun lì into Hanoi, and crossed the Yellow River in Mengjin to arrive, and then the Sui army was ordered to be stationed outside the city, and Emperor Yang of Sui was greeted by Yang Tong, the king of Yue, and entered the city to accept the congratulations of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Because of the need to settle the team, Chen Yingliang did not drive into the city with him, and because he had not officially taken office, Chen Yingliang continued to live in the camp of Qian Peng Sui in a very low-key manner, and did not rush to the right Wuwei general's mansion to find himself unhappy, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, the army has just been stationed, Liu Changgong and Xie Zichong and other right military guards came to find Chen Yingliang's trouble, and opened his mouth to ask Chen Yingliang: "Brother Yingliang, I heard that you have been named the general of the right military guard, is it really fake?" ”

"Who did you listen to?" Chen Yingliang asked silently.

"General Dugu said." Xie Zichong replied: "Just now we went to General Dugu to ask for instructions on the affairs of the camp, General Dugu arranged it, and said that we don't need to look for him again in the future, we should look for you directly, and when we asked why, General Dugu said that you are already the general of our right military guard." ”

"Brother Ying Liang, is it true or false?" Liu Changgong couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Yingliang smiled, and smiled quite brightly, Liu Changgong and others saw Chen Yingliang's expression, and immediately cheered, Liu Changgong also hugged Chen Yingliang directly, and laughed: "It seems that it can't be fake, Brother Yingliang, you can't invite guests this time!" If you want my brother and me to listen to you in the future, you have to pay out of your pocket to invite me to drink enough today, otherwise, I will be the first to take the lead in coaxing you when you take office! ”

Xie Zichong, He Lanyi and other generals also coaxed, and Chen Yingliang smiled and said: "Of course, it's okay to invite you to drink, but you have to keep this matter secret from me, and you can't let people know about it, and you have to wait for His Majesty the Emperor to officially promulgate the canonization edict, and then officially announce it." ”

Liu Changgong and the others laughed and agreed, and Chen Yingliang immediately asked the soldiers to arrange a banquet, during which Liu Changgong and others naturally had to say hello to Chen Yingliang again and again, but at this time, a herald outside the tent rushed in and said to Chen Yingliang: "Deputy envoy, there is a young man from outside my military camp, who keeps saying that he wants to see you, and we asked him about his identity, he only said that his surname was Pei, and he refused to say anything else. ”

"Surname Pei?" Chen Yingliang was stunned at first, then immediately came to his senses, and said with a smile: "It must be Pei Xingfang's kid, please, he is my distant cousin, be polite to him." ”

The herald sang the promise and rushed away, Chen Yingliang set up a banquet in the noise of Liu Changgong and others, and drank happily with his subordinates in the future, during which he naturally had to say something about each other in the future, but before the wine had passed the third round, a person had already strode in outside the tent, and shouted in a very sharp voice: "Chen boy, something without conscience, you have come back to the East, why don't you go to see me?" ”

Chen Yingliang and everyone looked up in surprise, but saw that although the person who came was dressed in men's clothes, he was born with big eyes and small mouths, white and tender skin, and seemed to be a woman. ”

"Of course it's me." I haven't seen her for more than two years, Pei Cuiyun's appearance seems to be a little more beautiful, and her temper seems to be a little hotter, and she snorted and said: "If you have no conscience, it's rare to come back, and you won't go to see me right away, have you forgotten me a long time ago?" ”

Chen Yingliang explained with a wry smile, Liu Changgong and Xie Zichong and others squeezed their eyebrows at each other, smiled evilly and whispered about Chen Yingliang's various affairs with Pei Cuiyun back then, and then Liu Changgong also smiled and said, "Brother and sister, what are you anxious about?" Brother Ying Liang came back to the Eastern Capital this time, but he won't leave again, the two of you want to be affectionate, and there will be time in the future. ”

"Not leaving?" Pei Cuiyun was stunned at first, then quickly came to his senses, and asked in surprise: "What?" You were transferred back to the Eastern Capital? ”

"Is it just to transfer back to the Eastern Capital? Still....... ”

Liu Changgong's words were interrupted by Chen Yingliang, and after giving Liu Changgong a look, Chen Yingliang hurriedly beckoned Pei Cuiyun to the table, and asked how Pei Cuiyun knew that he had returned to the Eastern Capital? Pei Cuiyun replied directly: "Of course, my father wrote to me, and he also said in the letter that you are the first merit of King Qin this time, and you also captured the Turkic Shibi Khan, and your ascension is imminent." By the way, what official did the emperor give you? ”

Chen Yingliang smiled vaguely and refused to tell the truth, while Pei Cuiyun sneered and said: "It's best to let you enter the right martial guard, and then I will have a way to clean you up!" ”

"How are you going to clean me up?" Chen Yingliang asked vigilantly.

"Because my father may soon be the general of the Right Guard." Pei Cuiyunjiao said with a smile: "Before His Majesty's northern tour of the Great Wall this time, Yuwen Zhuguo had already promised to recommend my father as the general of the Right Wuwei, and this time he should almost officially take office." When the time comes, you will be my father's subordinate, and I want to clean you up, is it not a matter of words? ”

The big tent was quiet, and Chen Yingliang suddenly understood the real reason why Pei Renji's attitude towards him was suddenly cold after the Yanmen War - Pei Renji was not a good man and a woman in the officialdom, and Li Hun, the commander-in-chief of the 10th Military Region of the Great Sui, was reported by Pei Renji for rebellion, and his whole family was killed.

Of course, if Chen Yingliang had a better history, or knew more about the inside story, and knew that Pei Renji's false accusation of Li Hun was actually instigated by Yu Wenshu, Chen Yingliang would definitely be even more worried in his heart.

"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that Chen Yingliang and the generals of the right military guard did not speak, Pei Cuiyun was inevitably puzzled.

"This ......." Chen Yingliang hesitated and didn't know whether to tell Pei Cuiyun the truth, but it happened that at this moment, Wang Renze's voice came from outside the tent, shouting: "Brother Ying Liangxian, Brother Ying Liang, good news, good news!" ”

Shouting, Wang Ren strode into Chen Yingliang's big tent, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Brother Xian, Brother Hexi Xian, we just received the letter from the Jiangdu family, you are a father, my cousin gave birth to a big fat boy for you, and the mother and son are safe." My uncle told me to come and give you good news, and to give him a name, and that if you have time, you should hurry over and have a drink with him! ”

The news is indeed good news, Liu Changgong and others also hurriedly congratulated Chen Yingliang and thanked him, and then couldn't wait to start researching the name of Chen Yingliang's son, but unfortunately there was a person who heard the news but it was very wrong, hearing this, Pei Cuiyun's face immediately changed, and he quickly asked: "When did you become a parent, why have I never heard of it?" ”

There was no choice, Chen Yingliang could only quickly tell Pei Cuiyun, who almost became his fiancée, the situation, and then emphasized: "Sister Xian, I don't like the new and hate the old and quit the marriage and remarry, it was Wang Juncheng who insisted on giving me his daughter as a partial house, so I had to agree." ”

Pei Cuiyun's face was a little ugly, she looked at Chen Yingliang for a long time, and suddenly said, "What about me and you?" ”

"That's a misunderstanding, why are you so desperate?" Chen Yingliang was completely anxious, and he could only introduce his misunderstanding with Pei Cuiyun to his brother-in-law Wang Ren, who was also puzzled, and said to Pei Cuiyun with a wry smile: "Sister Xian, Your Majesty has granted me leave, I will go back to Daxing in a few days to officially get married, there is no possibility between us, you better choose another virtuous couple." ”

Pei Cuiyun lowered his head, and after thinking for a while, Pei Cuiyun suddenly got up, beckoned Chen Yingliang out of the tent, and then whispered to Chen Yingliang outside the tent: "If my father also promised to marry me to you as a partial house, will you marry or not?" ”

"This ......." Chen Yingliang smiled bitterly and said, "How is this possible? You are a famous daughter, everyone is beautiful, how can your father agree? ”

"Whether my father agrees or not, you don't care!" Pei Cuiyun's voice suddenly choked up, tears flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said, "I only ask you, do you want to marry?" I've been waiting for you for two years, your heart is really iron? ”

"It's ......." Chen Yingliang was so embarrassed that he hesitated for a while, but he still shook his head and said: "Sister Xian, you still don't want to be stubborn anymore, I just misunderstood you, we have no fate, you ......, forget me." ”

After two years of waiting, but in exchange for such a heartless reply from Chen Yingliang, Pei Cuiyun's tears finally flowed out, and he almost wanted to raise his hand to slap Chen Yingliang, but halfway through the hand, Pei Cuiyun still forced himself to put his hand down, twisted his face away instead, and choked up: "Okay, I understand, don't worry, I won't come to pester you in the future, you go back to Daxing to get married, and forget me forever." ”

After choking and speaking, Pei Cuiyun wiped her tears and walked away quickly, leaving Chen Yingliang without looking back, looking at Pei Cuiyun's back as she left briskly in the autumn wind, Chen Yingliang was also a little lost in his heart, and said softly in his heart: "Sister Xian, it's not that I don't want to agree, it's that your father will definitely not agree." There is already a gap between me and him, if you go back to make a fuss, it is possible for me and your father to turn against each other. ”

Shook his head helplessly, and when he returned to the tent, Liu Changgong and the others first asked about Pei Cuiyun's situation, and after learning that Pei Cuiyun had left, Liu Changgong and the others didn't care, but just smiled at Chen Yingliang: "Brother Yingliang, just now our uncles gave your son, that is, our eldest nephew, a good name, if you think it's okay, how about using it directly?" ”

"What did you name my son?" Chen Yinghao asked curiously.

"Chen Shimei!" Liu Changgong was shocked, and explained: "Brother Yingliang, you are the most handsome among us, and your son and grandson are definitely not as good as that, so let's just call Chen Shimei." ”

"Huh? Brother Ying Liang, why are you rolling your eyes? Why is there still foam in the mouth? It's uncomfortable there, do you want to call a military doctor? "No points, you ......, forget about me."

After two years of waiting, but in exchange for such a heartless reply from Chen Yingliang, Pei Cuiyun's tears finally flowed out, and he almost wanted to raise his hand to slap Chen Yingliang, but halfway through the hand, Pei Cuiyun still forced himself to put his hand down, twisted his face away instead, and choked up: "Okay, I understand, don't worry, I won't come to pester you in the future, you go back to Daxing to get married, and forget me forever." ”
