Chapter 318: Being a thief has a weak heart

After not seeing Qin Qiong out of the tent for a long time, the herald sent by Pei Renji was inevitably strange and anxious, and begged Qin Qiong's personal soldiers to enter and urge him several times, but the answer he got was that Qin Qiong was changing his clothes, and asked him to continue to wait for a while, but even if a set of clothes was changed and washed and dried outside the tent, the time had passed, but Qin Qiong was still changing clothes inside. The herald was even more strange and anxious, and couldn't help but say to Qin Qiong's personal soldiers: "I'm tired and urge General Qin again, the marshal is waiting to see him in the big tent of the Chinese army, please hurry up, don't let the marshal wait." ”

"No need to rush, come out."

The back tent finally sounded, and the herald looked up with great joy, but his mouth opened wide all of a sudden, because in Qin Qiong's back tent, there was a person who should never be here, the white robe and silver armor were very pretending, the oily head and pink face looked obscene, young and handsome, and they were a little unremarkable, but the momentum was extremely majestic. The herald also exclaimed at once, "...... Chen, General Chen, why are you here?" ”

Glancing at the herald, Chen Fuliang did not answer his question, and recalled: "I have seen you, you seem to be the government soldier of the right guard, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." The herald really didn't expect Chen Yingliang to remember himself, so he hurriedly hugged his fists and replied loudly: "Sun Yuangang, a soldier of Yiyang County, Yingyang Prefecture, Henan, has seen General Benwei. ”

"Sure enough, it's my right Wuwei's clan, or my countryman." Chen Fuliang smiled, and his words made the herald very excited, and he couldn't wait to go up the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire for Chen Fuliang immediately. -- This is the normal condition of human beings, not to mention the feudal era with a clear hierarchy, even in modern times, if the commander-in-chief of a military region tells an ordinary soldier that he remembers him or his countryman, what do you think this ordinary soldier feels like?

"Get up, come with me." Chen Fuliang casually gave another order, and the herald immediately hugged his fists and sang a promise, not only immediately forgetting his duties, but also not even asking a word after seeing Jia Yanfu, who was gagged, being escorted out by Qin Qiong and others, Chen Fuliang ordered Qin Qiong to immediately organize soldiers and horses to escort him out of the camp, and asked Sangouzi to directly play his own right military guard general handsome flag, and directly appeared in the camp of the Henan Capture Army with great fanfare.

The aftermath of the Great Sui Imperial Court is still a little bit, after Chen Fuliang, who is a fox and a fake tiger, appeared publicly under the handsome banner of the right military guard, it naturally caused a sensation in the camp of the Henan Capture Army, and everywhere he passed, the soldiers of the Henan Capture Army were all saluted, and the generals of all sizes also rushed to Chen Fuliang's front and shouted in surprise, asking Chen Fuliang when he would get here, Chen Fuliang did not answer his intention, but just recalled the names and official positions of these generals as much as possible, and called out their names, Then ordered them to follow their own actions, two-thirds of the generals of the Henan Capture Army adapted from the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Capital also sang their promises, and the remaining one-third of the soldiers of Qi County also subconsciously obeyed their orders, and in a short period of time, Chen Fuliang was followed by more than 30 generals, and there were thousands of soldiers behind him.

Like the herald before, although these soldiers of the Henan Arrest Army saw at a glance that Jia Yufu had been taken down by Chen Fuliang, no one asked Chen Fuliang face-to-face the reason why Chen Fuliang wanted Pei Renji's henchman Jia Yanfu, and no one thought of the consequences of following Chen Fuliang's actions, and they just blindly followed Chen Fuliang's actions. This is not that Pei Renji has no prestige because he has no military morale, it is that Chen Fuliang has more military morale and prestige than Pei Renji, Pei Renji's means of buying the hearts of the army is nothing more than rewarding the soldiers, and Chen Yingliang not only did the same, but also bought people's hearts and deceived soldiers into selling their lives There are more and more effective means, just one person personally leading a horse for the wounded soldiers is enough to move those who hear it, and those who see it cry, and it is not surprising that the military heart is wanted.

As for prestige, Chen Fuliang has thrown off Pei Renji's eight streets, he has never lost a battle since his debut, he is invincible in a hundred battles, and he has long been recognized as the most dazzling general in the Great Sui, and of course the generals and soldiers are willing to fight and make meritorious contributions under the command of Chen Fuliang. In contrast, Pei Renji, who has not won a decent battle since he fought alone in the army, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Sui army, of course, he is not even worthy of lifting shoes for Chen Fuliang, especially during this period of time, Pei Renji's unrealistic attack on the Tiger Pass, the guide has been defeated again and again, and under the frustration of the army, Pei Renji's appeal is naturally weakened, and it cannot be compared with Chen Fuliang, a symbol of victory.

When Chen Fuliang began to show off his might in the Henan Arrest Army camp, Pei Renji, who was also dizzy, talked with Xiao Huaijing, and gradually figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and then Pei Renji immediately shouted loudly, saying: "I didn't, Pei Xingfang was not sent by me, he came to me today, but he just asked me if I needed to transfer the seriously injured to Luokoucang to recuperate, nothing else was said, and I didn't arrange any errands for him." ”

"Pei Xingfang wasn't sent by you?" Xiao Huaijing opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Then why did he run to me and say those words?" Is he doing it himself, or is someone else arranging it? ”

Pei Renji frowned and calculated nervously, Pei Renji believed that his nephew did not have the courage to act on his own, and there was no reason to do so-Pei Xingfang, the second generation of officials, was very tough, saying that he had a bright future and absolutely no problems, and he was well-behaved and smart, so it was impossible to make such a joke about his glorious future. Since Pei Xingfang is not acting without authorization, then there must be someone behind him, and for Pei Xingfang to take the risk of doing such a thing, Pei Xingfang's direct boss Liu Changgong definitely does not have this ability, and if he goes up, he will ......

Thinking of this, Pei Renji's face began to turn pale again, and he blurted out to Uncle Xiao Guo: "Xiao Jianjun, are you sure that Chen Yingliang has led the army here?" ”

"It's all your nephew, how can I be sure?" Xiao Huaijing asked angrily, and then Xiao Huaijing was also shocked, and suddenly remembered a big event, and said secretly: "Did Chen Yingliang's thief come here?" If he came, why did he send Pei Xingfang to me to say those words, to tell Pei Renji that he was ready to surrender to the Wagang thieves? What exactly is he going to do? ”

"Handsome! Handsome! Chen Liushou is here! Chen Liushou of the Eastern Capital is here! ”

At this time, a pro-soldier suddenly stumbled in outside the tent, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted and shouted to report the news of Chen Yingliang's appearance in the camp of the Henan Arrest Army, Pei Renji and Xiao Huaijing were even more shocked, and hurriedly asked for details, the pro-soldier replied truthfully: "It was really Chen Liushou who came, and also marked his flag as the commander of the right military guard, and now the brothers of the whole battalion are a sensation." ”

Before the words of the soldiers were finished, Pei Renji and Xiao Huaijing had already heard a faint commotion outside the tent, and under the shock, the two hurriedly rushed out of the big tent to look into the distance, and saw that the outside of the Chinese military camp was indeed crowded, and the voices were boiling, and they also saw Chen Yingliang's big banner with teeth and claws at a glance. Pei Renji was shocked when he saw it, and blurted out: "Is it really him?" How did he get here? What is he here for? ”

No one could answer Pei Renji's question, only the pro-soldier who reported the message before added another sentence, and said: "By the way, Dashuai, I forgot something, I don't know why, Chen Liushou also arrested Jia Yanfu Jia Hujun and held him by his side." ”

"Jia Yanfu was arrested by him?" After all, the thief has a weak heart, and the secret of his life is in the hands of Jia Yanfu, and when he heard that Jia Yanfu has been captured by Chen Fuliang, Pei Renji's first reaction is, of course, that the crime has been exposed, and Jia Yanfu has betrayed him. His mind was suddenly blank, as if he had heard the sound of chains and shackles colliding, and saw the executioner's ghost-headed knife.

Although Xiao Huaijing was confident that Chen Yingliang would not be able to catch him and Li Mi secretly colluding, he didn't dare to guarantee that Li Mi's side would not go wrong, let alone why Chen Yingliang was suddenly here, and he couldn't understand the words that Pei Xing had sent to him before, under the fear of the unknown, Xiao Huaijing couldn't help but tremble, and thought in his heart, "What is Chen Yingliang a thief doing?" Why do you arrest people as soon as you come? ”

The more anxious they are to know the truth of Chen Yingliang's intentions, the more Chen Yingliang hangs their appetite, Qin Qiong's camp is located in the left camp, originally it took a few steps clockwise Chen Yingliang could walk in front of the Chinese army camp, but Chen Yingliang deliberately walked counterclockwise, leading a large group of soldiers from the Henan Capture Army to go around the camp counterclockwise, and then came to the main gate of the Chinese army camp. The momentum is also getting bigger and bigger, completely sensationalizing the entire Henan army camp.

Of course, Chen Fuliang is taking a risk by doing this, the more chaotic the camp of the Henan Hunting Army, the greater the possibility that the Wagang Army will launch a surprise attack, but there are no soldiers in his hands, and there is no strength to balance Pei Renji, Chen Yingliang has no choice but to use his official prestige to gather the old troops as much as possible and strengthen his momentum. Fortunately, the effect was good, when he came to the gate of the Chinese army camp in a circle, Chen Yingliang had already followed more than 2,000 Sui army soldiers behind him, and at the same time, He Yanyu and Luo Shixin's team had also rushed to the camp gate to wait for orders, and their strength was enough to compete with Pei Renji's entire Chinese army.

There were many people, Chen Ying's conscience was settled, first waved his hand to stop everyone, and then he came out in front of the Chinese military camp and shouted to the Chinese military camp door official who knelt down on one knee in front of him: "Go and sue Pei Renji, tell him to come out to see me immediately!" and Xiao Huaijing, also ask him to come out for me! ”

After Pei Renji and Xiao Huaijing listened to Chen Fuliang's request, they didn't even think that the military law was strict, they were the lord Chen Fuliang is guest, Chen Yingliang should have entered the Jin to see them, and they all obediently came to the gate of the Chinese military camp to meet Chen Yingliang. And although Pei Renji was quite careful to bring his own personal soldiers, when they met, compared with the thousands of Sui soldiers behind Chen Yingliang, they were thrown off eight streets again.

The military flag was fluttering, Chen Yingliang, who was in white robe and silver armor, had a majestic expression, his eyes were firm, Pei Renji and Xiao Huaijing had a reluctant smile on their faces, their eyes wandered, and they didn't dare to directly meet Chen Yingliang's gaze, but they just smiled and bowed their hands to Chen Yingliang, and said, "Chen Liushou, why are you here?" ”

"Investigate the death of General Wang Quan of Huyalang!" Chen Yingliang did not return the courtesy, and shouted loudly: "Henan Arrest Ambassador Pei Renji, someone impeached you for suspected personal vendetta and deliberately forced the Wang Quan generals who had a suspicion of you to death, resulting in the unfortunate death of the Wang Quan generals who made great contributions in the defense of Luokoucang!" As a left-behind guard in the eastern capital, this official inspects the internal history of Henan, and the general of the right military guard, so he must inquire about this matter! ”

"That's what happened." Pei Renji breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Chen stays behind, the lower official can swear to the sky, the death of General Wang Quan is just an accident, although the lower official has a disagreement with him, ...... the lower official has a disagreement with him." ”

"It's not important anymore!" Chen Yingliang let out a loud shout, interrupting Pei Renji's explanation, and then turned around slightly and shouted, "Bring it up!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde promised, with only one hand, he lifted Jia Yanfu up like an eagle catching a chicken, kicked Jia Yanfu to his knees with a light kick, and knelt in front of everyone, Jia Yanfu, whose mouth was plugged with a sackcloth, struggled desperately, kept whining, and kept making all kinds of glances at Pei Renji like killing a chicken and wiping his neck, but he never said a word.

"Uncle Pei, this may be the last time I call you Uncle." Chen Fuliang spoke again, and said in a cold tone: "The sea of bitterness is boundless, turning back is the shore, Jia Yanfu has already recruited everything, you turn back now, maybe there is still a chance to live, choose for yourself." ”

"Jia Yanfu has already been recruited?!" If Pei Renji was struck by lightning, his face suddenly turned like ashes, and Jia Yanfu was so shocked that he desperately wanted to jump up, but he was pressed to the ground tightly by Wei Chi Jingde, and his head was also pressed to the ground, not giving him a chance to look at Pei Renji.

"And you, Xiao Huaijing!" Chen Fuliang turned to Xiao Huaijing again, and shouted majestically: "Who is the person who came to see you before?!" As a member of the queen's family, where did you come from the Tiger Prison? That relative of yours, where is it now? Also, when the Tiger Prison was broken before, how did you escape from the Tiger Prison Pass, and how did you escape to Guancheng? ”

Xiao Huaijing and Pei Renji had the same face as death, and they both wanted to quibble, but they were overwhelmed by Chen Fuliang's momentum, and the words were swallowed back into their stomachs when they reached their mouths, and they involuntarily retreated slightly. Or did I order to take people? The choice is yours! ”

Even Chen Fuliang didn't expect the effect to be so good, what made everyone stunned and made Jia Yanfu angry was that after hearing Chen Fuliang's majestic shout, Pei Renji and Xiao Huaijing, who were thieves, turned their heads in unison, and ran away for their lives in the depths of the camp!

"Catch them!" Chen Yingliang took five seconds to come back to his senses, shouting the order to arrest, although the Sui soldiers behind did not understand what was going on, they also shouted and rushed into the camp of the Chinese army, and quickly chased Pei Renji and Xiao Huaijing.

"Stop them! Stop them! Pei Renji was also quite smart, and during his escape, he kept shouting orders to the Chinese soldiers beside him, but those soldiers also stepped forward to stop the pursuers according to the same unknown circumstances, asking them why they were chasing the commander, and the Chinese camp was immediately in chaos.

Of course, Chen Yingliang did not participate in the chase, but immediately strode to the big tent of the Chinese army, and ordered Qin Qiong's team to take over the defense of the big tent and disarm Pei Renji's personal weapons, but as soon as he finished this, a soldier immediately came to report, saying that he only caught Xiao Huaijing, but Pei Renji rushed into the stable first, grabbed a war horse that didn't even have a saddle, and rushed out directly to the gate of the back camp, and because the rear camp had not received the news, it failed to stop Pei Renji, so that Pei Renji escaped directly from the back door.

"Uncle, you really can't hold up the wall in the mud." Chen Fuliang shook his head and smiled bitterly, the original plan to use Jia Yanfu and Xiao Huaijing as scapegoats for Pei Renji also completely failed, and then Chen Fuliang thought about it for a while, and immediately shook his head and said: "I can't chase it, and if I chase it again, I will help Pei Renji immediately gain the trust of the Wagang thieves and call everyone back." ”

Sending someone to withdraw the chasing soldiers, Chen Fuliang also grabbed a Qin Qiong's personal soldier, whispered an explanation next to his ear, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do your best, if you can succeed, I will promote you to the third level, and reward you with a hundred yuan!" Qin Qiong's personal soldiers were overjoyed, and immediately rushed down to act according to the plan after agreeing, and Chen Fuliang also immediately ordered to blow the trumpet and raise the tent, and summoned the generals of the Henan Hunt Army to the Chinese army's big tent to wait for his life.

The order was delivered, and the promotion account was also blown, but because the shape was too chaotic, it took a quarter of an hour for the generals at all levels of the Henan Arrest Army to basically arrive. Chen Fuliang was not polite, and said straight to the point: "Generals, time is urgent, I won't say anything superfluous, Pei Renji collaborated with the enemy and treason, secretly communicated with Wagang, absconded in fear of crime, from now on, I will temporarily take charge and command the Henan Arrest Army, do you understand?" ”

"Understood!" The generals of the Sui army agreed neatly.

"Good." Chen Yingliang nodded with satisfaction, and shouted: "The generals of the Henan Arrest Army listened to the order, immediately gathered soldiers and horses, abandoned the camp and retreated, and returned to Luokoucang, with only weapons, war horses and armor, heavy grain and grass and military tent fences, all set on fire and burned!" He Yanyu led the headquarters to open the way, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, you two each led the headquarters soldiers and horses, and the queen of the palace with me! The rest of the generals, each leading the headquarters to retreat, and then the five battalions on the left and right front and middle are in the order of retreat, and there must be no mistake! If there is a cowardice who flees first, he will not be forgiven! ”

"Stay behind, I'm afraid it's too late, right?" A tiger tooth general said timidly: "This is only ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Wagang thieves will immediately attack when they detect the situation, I'm afraid we have just withdrawn from the camp." ”

"Don't worry, I only have arrangements on the Wagang thieves' side, and they don't dare to pursue them immediately!" Chen Fuliang waved his hand and shouted: "Just do it, immediately abandon the camp and retreat!" Remember, not a single wounded, not a brother! ”

The generals sang a promise, and then rushed down to organize the retreat of the soldiers and horses, Chen Fuliang also ordered Qin Qiong's personal soldiers to immediately collect Pei Renji's official letters and withdraw from the Chinese army's big tent to assemble, and then Chen Fuliang secretly prayed in his heart: "Zhai Rang, Bing Yuanzhen, you must believe that this is my plan to lure the enemy, otherwise, I will be miserable in this battle!" ”

"Chen stays behind, will Pei Dashuai escape to the Tiger Prison Pass to deliver a letter to the Wagang thieves?" Qin Qiong next to him suddenly came up and reminded in a low voice: "If Pei Dashuai reports the situation to the Wagang thief, the Wagang thief will definitely immediately send troops to chase after him?" ”

Chen Fuliang smiled bitterly and said, "That's for sure, fortunately, I have already made arrangements, and Pei Renji will not be able to immediately gain the trust of the Wagang thieves in the past, and we still have hope of safely withdrawing to Luokoucang." "The grass and the bars of the tents were all set on fire! He Yanyu led the headquarters to open the way, Luo Shixin, Qin Qiong, you two each led the headquarters soldiers and horses, and the queen of the palace with me! The rest of the generals, each leading the headquarters to retreat, and then the five battalions on the left and right front and middle are in the order of retreat, and there must be no mistake! If there is a cowardice who flees first, he will not be forgiven! ”

"Stay behind, I'm afraid it's too late, right?" A tiger tooth general said timidly: "This is only ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Wagang thieves will immediately attack when they detect the situation, I'm afraid we have just withdrawn from the camp." ”

"Don't worry, I only have arrangements on the Wagang thieves' side, and they don't dare to pursue them immediately!" Chen Fuliang waved his hand and shouted: "Just do it, immediately abandon the camp and retreat!" Remember, not a single wounded, not a brother! ”

The generals sang a promise, and then rushed down to organize the retreat of the soldiers and horses, Chen Fuliang also ordered Qin Qiong's personal soldiers to immediately collect Pei Renji's official letters and withdraw from the Chinese army's big tent to assemble, and then Chen Fuliang secretly prayed in his heart: "Zhai Rang, Bing Yuanzhen, you must believe that this is my plan to lure the enemy, otherwise, I will be miserable in this battle!" ”

"Chen stays behind, will Pei Dashuai escape to the Tiger Prison Pass to deliver a letter to the Wagang thieves?" Qin Qiong next to him suddenly came up and reminded in a low voice: "If Pei Dashuai reports the situation to the Wagang thief, the Wagang thief will definitely immediately send troops to chase after him?" ”

Chen Fuliang smiled bitterly and said, "That's for sure, fortunately, I have already made arrangements, and Pei Renji will not be able to immediately gain the trust of the Wagang thieves in the past, and we still have hope of safely withdrawing to Luokoucang." ”
