Chapter 251: Admirable
Li Jing was miserably played by Li Er this time, Shibi Khan had just swallowed the bait and was about to bite the hook, but Li Er suddenly proposed to stay in the Turkic camp as a hostage in Turkic language, completely killing Li Jing by surprise, and making Li Jing think that he couldn't even oppose and stop - Li Jing couldn't force Li Er to leave the Turkic camp in front of Ashina's family, right? Therefore, Li Jing had no choice but to watch Li Er jump out of Chen Fuliang's grasp and stay in the Turkic camp to return to the sea, becoming the most critical figure in the decisive battle of Yanmen, and also becoming the biggest shadow hanging over the heads of Qinwang Sui Jun and Chen Fuliang.
In the end, Li Jing didn't even know how he got out of the Turkic camp, he was confused, and his mind was completely blank, but even so, for his own life and for the sake of breaking the enemy's plan, Li Jing still tried his best not to show his flaws, and politely said goodbye to Shibi Khan and Li Er, and then under the escort of the Turkic soldiers, he rushed back to the Sui army camp through the last darkness before dawn. Looking at the back of Li Jing riding his horse away, the corners of Li Er's mouth also showed a happy smile.
Next, after returning to the Sui army camp smoothly, although Li Jing was summoned by Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang's eyes were bloodshot and obviously he hadn't slept all night, but Li Jing no longer had the heart to care about Chen Fuliang's body, his face was gray in front of Chen Fuliang, and he didn't know how to open his mouth to report to Chen Fuliang. However, Chen Fuliang was very concerned about Li Jing's situation, and kept asking: "Li Juncheng, what happened?" Why is your face so ugly? What about Li Shimin? Why didn't he come back with you, where did he go? ”
couldn't stand Chen Yingliang's repeated questioning, Li Jing finally knelt down to Chen Fuliang with weak knees, his mouth was not open, tears had already flashed in his eyes, and he choked up: "Dashuai, the lower official is incompetent, the lower official was tricked by Li Shimin, let him escape from your grasp, and our plan to break the enemy has also been threatened by Yan zhòng." ”
Choked up, Li Jing roughly told the story of the matter, saying that Li Er had guessed the general battle plan of the Sui army, and also said that Li Er suddenly negotiated directly with Shibi Khan in Turkic language, asking Shibi Khan to leave him in the Turkic camp as a hostage, and also said that Li Er had long suspected that Chen Fuliang had forged a large number of Turkic Golden Arrow Orders. Chen Fuliang and Wei Zheng, Yuan Tiangang, Changsun Wuji and others who accompanied him to meet became more and more serious, and finally when Li Jing choked up and introduced all the situation, Chen Fuliang also slumped on the handsome chair, his mind was also blank, and there was only one thought left, "Genius!" Sure enough, he is a genius who lives up to his name! ”
"When did Li Shimin learn to speak Turkic? How did I not know before? The eldest grandson Wuji also exclaimed, "When I was friendly with him before, I never heard him speak Turkic?" ”
Of course, no one could answer the question of the eldest grandson Wuji, Chen Fuliang and Li Jing did not speak, Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang hung their heads and did not speak, but the military judge Yin Shishi, who was supervising the preparations for the night battle in the camp, received the news of Li Jing's return, and hurriedly returned to the Chinese army tent to speak, and when he saw the situation in the Chinese army's tent, the Yin Shishi was naturally taken aback, and hurriedly asked about the situation, and when Wei Zheng whispered the situation to the Yin Shishi, the Yin Shishi, who had always been majestic and solemn, suddenly became an angry lion, rushed in front of Li Jing, kicked Li Jing to the ground with one kick, and roared loudly, "You did a good thing!" ”
Li Jing was silent, and he didn't dodge the kicking of the Yin World Master, but the Yin World Master was even more angry, and grabbed Li Jing's collar again, grabbed Li Jing up, and smashed Li Jing in the face with a heavy punch, beating Li Jing until his cheeks were bruised and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he roared and asked: "Say, you insist on recommending Li Shimin as an envoy, do you deliberately help him escape from the control of the big marshal and go to the Turks to ventilate and report the news?" What is the relationship between you and Li Yuan's family?! ”
Li Jing still didn't say anything, and he still didn't avoid the beating of the Yin World Master, but unfortunately the more Li Jing was like this, the more angry the Yin World Master who was loyal to the Great Sui Imperial Court became, and kicked Li Jing over, and then rushed up to punch and kick, desperately venting the anger in his heart, roaring constantly, "Do you know? Li Shimin is Li Yuan's most powerful son, although his official position is low, he knows a lot of our military secrets, and he is inextricably linked with the Taiyuan Qinwang Army. It is also very likely that our carefully arranged plan for night battle will be completely discovered by the Turks, and we will be in danger of being annihilated. ”
Li Jing twisted his body weakly with the punches and kicks of the Yin Shishi, never spoke, and never resisted and begged for mercy, and finally Chen Fuliang couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth to stop it: "Yin Taishou, enough, don't fight anymore, this matter has nothing to do with Li Juncheng, we all underestimated Li Shimin, I didn't expect him to be so smart that he could guess our battle plan with just a few clues, and I didn't expect him to be so treacherous that he could get rid of my control of him with the power of the Turks." ”
"How is it that it has nothing to do with him?" Yin Shishi shouted: "It was he who strongly recommended Li Shimin to be this messenger, if he sent another envoy to contact the Turks, how could such a thing happen?" The last general has already reminded you that this Li Jing and Li Yuan's family are too close, you can't believe it, you can't believe it, you just don't listen! Now, you've ordered the whole army to prepare for battle tonight, but something like this has happened, what should we do next? ”
"Li Juncheng recommended Li Shimin as a messenger in order to win the trust of the Turks, and this was also sent out with my consent." Chen Yingliang said weakly: "So, Li Er fled into the Turkic military camp, the responsibility is my greatest, don't beat Li Juncheng, three dogs, pick up Li Juncheng for me." ”
The captain of the pro-soldier Sangouzi agreed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Jing get up, while the Yin World Master stomped heavily and roared, "Then what now?" Li Shimin has already stayed in the Turkic camp, and he may leak our situation to the Turkic army at any time. ”
"It's okay, if you can't do it, let's give up the plan for tonight's decisive battle." Chen Fuliang reluctantly squeezed out some smiles, and said weakly: "Fortunately, the reinforcements of the old general Qu Tutong and Gujuncheng will arrive soon, and it is not too late to fight together after they arrive." ”
Although Chen Fuliang had a smile on his face, the frustration in his words could be heard by everyone, and the Yin Shishi was also gloomy, and suddenly said: "Marshal, no matter whether you give up the battle plan or not, you must take down Li Jing, Li Jiancheng and Chai Shao, and imprison them in the Chinese army as a precaution!" Otherwise, once they collude with Li Shimin inside and outside, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable! ”
Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Li Jing, who was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and then said: "Temporarily detain Li Jing and Chai Shao, Li Jiancheng can't move there, we have put Ambassador Li under house arrest, and if Li Jiancheng is arrested, there will be a big problem with the Taiyuan Qinwang Army." Fortunately, Li Jiancheng's pro-soldier team is served by our people, and His Royal Highness King Qi is watching, so there is no need to worry too much. ”
"Then we must temporarily cut off Li Jiancheng's power, and hand over Li Yuan's Hedong Soothing Talisman to His Royal Highness King Qi to take care of just in case!" The Yin World Master said viciously.
Chen Yingliang nodded weakly, agreeing with the Yin Shishi's safe construction, and then while sending someone to contact Chai Shao, under the pretext of summoning Chai Shao to the Chinese army tent to arrest and detain him, he weakly ordered: "Come on, invite Li Juncheng to be held in solitary confinement, and you can't abuse it." ”
Chen Fuliang's personal soldiers agreed, and hurriedly came up to invite Li Jing to leave, Li Jing did not resist, silently turned around and accompanied the personal soldiers to leave the big tent, but when he walked to the door of the big tent, Li Jing suddenly remembered a big event, turned around and said to Chen Yingliang: "Dashuai, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, last night when the sinner was on the way north to the Turkic camp with Li Shimin, when he was about to encounter the Turkic sentry horse, Li Shimin suddenly handed over a wax pill to the sinner, saying that it was for the sinner to open it again in the future, and the sinner was in a trance before, Forgot to open this wax pill. ”
Saying that, Li Jing took out a wax pill from his arms, Chen Fuliang's personal soldiers hurriedly took it and presented it to Chen Fuliang, Chen Fuliang took the wax pill and looked at it, and found that the wax pill was quite large and the thin silk was faintly visible, so he pinched the wax pill at will, took out the thin silk and unfolded it to take a closer look, and when he took a closer look at the content on the silk, Chen Fuliang's mouth suddenly opened so that he could stuff two eggs, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and exclaimed: "How is it possible?!" ”
Seeing Chen Yingliang's surprised appearance, Yin Shishi, Wei Zheng, Yuan Tiangang and others were of course extremely curious, and hurriedly went up to look at Li Er's wax pill collection together, but when they took a closer look, Yin Shishi, Wei Zheng and others also exclaimed at the same time, "Oh my God! How is this possible?! ”
I can't help but be surprised by Chen Fuliang and others, the key is that the content of Li Er's wax pill collection is too amazing, and the content is ......
"The last general Li Shimin worshiped Chen Dashuai, when the general saw this book, the last general was already in the Turkic camp, the last general only asked the general to keep in mind one thing, the last general's whole family is in the Central Plains and the hands of the marshal, if the last general knows the consequences, the last general's move is just a meritorious atonement, wash away the innocence, and hope that the marshal will investigate clearly.
The last general asked the commander, and before the two armies were arrayed, he asked the commander to hand over a fake head to the Shibi thief chieftain, pretending to be the head of the last general's father, and the last general would be lucky to survive, and the morale of the Turkic army would also be hit.
In the end, the general still has a plan, in front of the two armies, the commander may wish to take the Turkic prisoners as the vanguard, expel the Turkic prisoners of war and attack the enemy position first, then the Turkic battle formation can be chaotic without a fight. ”
After reading these three short sentences, not to mention Yin Shishi and Wei Zheng and others, even Chen Fuliang, who is a traverser, is extremely unbelievable, and almost suspects that Li Er, like himself, is also a traverser from the future. Finally coming back to his senses, Chen Fuliang immediately raised his head quickly and asked Li Jing, "Li Juncheng, this wax pill was given to you by Li Shimin on the way north to the Turkic camp?" ”
"Not bad." Li Jing nodded, and said: "At that time, we just encountered a team of Turkic sentinels, and the Turkic sentinels also discovered us, now that I think about it, he should have deliberately handed it over to me at that time, so that I didn't have a chance to open the wax pill to check the contents." ”
Hearing this, Chen Fuliang inevitably opened his mouth even more, but Li Jing was extremely curious, and couldn't help asking: "Dashuai, what did Li Shimin write in the wax pill?" Can you let the sinners know? ”
Chen Fuliang didn't speak, picked up the thin silk and handed it to Li Jing, Li Jing hurriedly came to Chen Fuliang's face, took the thin silk with both hands and looked at it carefully, but after taking a closer look at the content, Li Jing was also dumbfounded, and shouted in disbelief: "How is it possible?" How is this possible? Li Shimin is ready on the road? No! He didn't have time to prepare wax pills on the road, it must have been the wax pills he wrote when he returned to his account to prepare to leave the camp after you explained the task to him! ”
"How is this possible? Li Shimin had just listened to your order, Dashuai, and he had already guessed our tactical plan, and he had also thought of the idea of infiltrating the Turkic camp to get rid of the control? Is he a human or a ghost, can Yun Si get to this point?! ”
Hearing Li Jing's exclamation of surprise, Chen Fuliang and Yin Shishi and others were inevitably even more dumbfounded, saying that they didn't expect Li Er to be able to be clever to this point, just after listening to the task assigned to him, he could immediately guess the battle plan of the Sui army of King Qin, the means of breaking the enemy, and immediately conceived a way to escape from Chen Fuliang's control, pondered a plan to save his life, and also thought of a plan for Chen Fuliang to deal with the enemy - expelling the Turkic prisoners of war as the vanguard, which can not only have the effect of confusing the Turkic army's heart, but also make the Sui army officers and soldiers worry-free. Concentrate on the battle.
"It's possible." The eldest grandson Wuji's words brought the people in the tent whose souls flew out of the sky back to reality, and the eldest grandson Wuji said with a very ugly face: "Li Shimin is indeed very fast, I have already discovered this when I was friendly with him before, no matter how complicated things are, he can figure it out in the blink of an eye, sort out the clues, and respond ten times faster than me." Brother, don't be angry, his speed of movement is still above you, and it will take you a lot of time to analyze and understand many things, but if Li Shimin is replaced, he may have understood the cause and effect in the blink of an eye. ”
"It's not surprising." Chen Fuliang rarely introspected once, and said secretly: "After all, he is Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and I am just a small criminal police captain." ”
After muttering quietly, Chen Fuliang waved his hand and said: "It's okay, don't worry about how smart and clever Li Shimin is for the time being, since this kid has shown us his intentions, indicating that he infiltrated the Turkic camp just to make meritorious atonements, and took the initiative to remind his whole family that he is still serving as hostages in our hands, then he may not necessarily mutiny, and our plan for the decisive battle tonight does not necessarily need to be adjusted." ”
Yin Shishi, Wei Zheng and the others were silent, and after a while, Yin Shishi carefully reminded: "Dashuai, Li Shimin took the initiative to plead to stay in the Turkic camp as a hostage, the reason is that although he has already explained in the pill book that Li Yuan's family is indeed still under the control of the Great Sui Imperial Court, what if he insists on treason and defection to the enemy regardless of his life?" Forgive me for taking the liberty of saying that since ancient times, all those who have rebelled can abandon the lives of their parents, wives and children. ”
Chen Fuliang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered a major event - Li Er's most outstanding thing in history happened to be killing his brother and forcing his father. But after thinking about it, Chen Fuliang felt that it was unlikely that Li Er would do such a beautiful thing now, because the current Li Er had neither meritorious prestige nor personal power, so he would do it now, not to mention others, that is, the entire Li clan was unlikely to go with him, and it was also possible for the Turkic side to unload him and kill the donkey, and hide the bow of the bird, so that he would have no future.
Thinking about this, Chen Fuliang was a little shaken again, and hesitated: "What good can Li Shimin do for him by doing this?" What else can I get besides avenging my wife-snatching and getting some Turkic rewards? ”
"Dashuai, did you find anything strange?" Once bitten by a snake and afraid of grass ropes for ten years, Li Jing would not dare to take Li Er lightly, and reminded cautiously: "Since Li Shimin decided to make meritorious service to atone for his sins and clear his innocence, why didn't he help his subordinates complete the task of luring the enemy?" Why did he risk his life and voluntarily stay in the Turkic camp as a hostage? ”
"There's an explanation for that." Chen Fuliang frowned and said: "He volunteered to stay in the Turkic camp as a hostage, which can make the Turkic side more at ease with Ambassador Li and help us have a better chance of luring the enemy to succeed, and at the same time, he has also prepared a plan for himself to escape, which is reasonable." However, is there another mystery behind this reasonableness? ”
Even Chen Fuliang, who had lost his conscience, couldn't guess whether Li Er had another mystery in acting like this, let alone other people, and just when everyone was racking their brains, there was a report from the soldiers outside the tent, saying that they had been ordered to bring Chai Shao, and Chen Yingliang ordered to bring it in during nervous thinking, and then Chai Shao, who was always a bitter gourd face, entered the Chinese army's big tent, and while saluting Chen Fuliang, he said angrily: "The last general Chai Shao, was ordered to meet the marshal, dare to ask the marshal what happened to the marshal to summon the last general?" The last general will go back to lead the army to prepare for the night battle, please ask the commander to order. ”
"I ......." Chen Fuliang's words came to his lips, but he couldn't go on - because Chen Fuliang originally planned to trap Chai Shao as a precaution, but now that the situation has changed, Chen Fuliang certainly can't order Chai Shao to be taken down. In desperation, Chen Fuliang had no choice but to change his words and said casually: "General Chai Shao, this marshal summoned you to ask you what you know about Li Shimin, what do you think of him?" ”
"Why did the marshal suddenly ask this?" Chai Shao was very strange.
"You don't have to worry about this, just answer truthfully." Chen Fuliang said casually: "Just give me your impression of Li Shimin's opinion and tell me the truth." ”
"Then the general will tell the truth." Chai Shao was not polite and not afraid of death, and said directly: "Although Erlang's age is only seventeen years old, he is young and old, sophisticated, intelligent, decent, filial to his parents, respects his elders, has a handsome appearance, is both civil and military, and is a rare young talent in the world in a hundred years!" ”
After that, Chai Shao, who hated Chen Fuliang so much that his eggs hurt, couldn't help but add, "It's much better than a kid who hasn't even killed a chicken, he has to be literate and talented, and he wants martial arts and martial arts, I really don't understand what kind of blind the girl he likes, and she will abandon him." ”
"Chai Shao, what did you say?" The eldest grandson, Wuji, was furious.
"Mowgli, don't be like him." Chen Yingliang waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to Chai Shao's defeated dog wailing, and said with a sneer: "If you want literature, you can have literary talent, and if you want martial arts, you will be martial arts, so martial arts, he participated in two of the previous three wars, why didn't he even win a single one?" ”
"That's Erlang who gave up the capture to his subordinates!" Chai Shao said angrily: "In the battle of Laoxian, Erlang beheaded six bodies and killed three enemies with bows and arrows in the chaotic army!" We fought that field battle with the Turks, and he beheaded five more bodies, shot five enemies with arrows, and killed a Turkic commander with one arrow, but he didn't ask for these credits, and gave them all to his subordinates! Don't look at his age much younger than me, in fact, when it comes to actually fighting, I'm not his opponent at all! ”
"So powerful?" Chen Fuliang was skeptical, so he asked again: "Since he has made so many merits on the battlefield, why did he give the merits to others?" ”
"He told his subordinates that he had a lot of money and didn't care about these rewards, so he gave it to his subordinates." Chai Shao replied casually, and said angrily: "However, I suspect that he deliberately hid his secrets, lest someone be jealous of his merits and martial arts, and be jealous of his ability to be a thief and use despicable means to harm him." ”
"Am I that kind of person?"
Chen Fuliang laughed out loud, and just wanted to ridicule Chai Shao and Li Er a few more words, but Chen Fuliang suddenly froze when the words came to his mouth, and after careful calculation, Chen Fuliang suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "I understand Li Shimin's true purpose!" ”
Chai Shao was dumbfounded, and the Yin Shishi and Li Jing and the others next to him hurriedly asked, "Dashuai, what is Li Shimin's real purpose?" ”
"Good boy, so strong self-confidence, so big courage, so deep scheming, and so big ambition." Chen Fuliang didn't answer the question, but just sighed with his forehead: "Even me and the entire army of King Qin have been indirectly used by him, such ambition, courage, scheming and self-confidence are admirable and admirable." ”
"What the hell are you talking about? How could the last general not understand? The Yin Shishi asked anxiously, "What is Li Shimin's real purpose?" ”
"Haven't seen it yet?" Chen Fuliang said with a wry smile: "Li Shimin has arranged so carefully, and has been carefully hiding his true martial arts, what else can he do except for the head of the thief chieftain?" ”
"The head of the Thief Chief?" Yin Shishi, Li Jing, Chai Shao and the others all exclaimed in disbelief, "Li Shimin wants to single-handedly take down the head of the Shibi Thief Chief? ”
"Yes, exactly." Chen Fuliang nodded, his smile became more bitter, and said: "Although it is very dangerous, as long as our Qinwang army defeats the Turkic army, and at the same time, he Li Shimin also relies on the escape plan prepared by himself to save his life, and he will definitely be able to stay by the side of the Shibi Thief Chief as a Turkic loyal minister, so in the chaos army, he does have this opportunity to take the head of the Shibi Thief Chief!" ”
Glancing at the stunned Yin Shishi and Li Jing and the others, Chen Fuliang wailed again: "Think about it, if Li Shimin single-handedly took down the head of the Shibi Thief Chief in the midst of the chaos, how glorious it would be? How shocking will it be? When the time comes, won't I, the youngest general of the Great Sui, have to be transferred to his head?! ”
