At present, Yu Wenhua's 100,000 troops are divided into four armies, Yu Wenhuahe, Yuwen Zhihe and Chen Ling each have 30,000 people, Sima Dejiao has 10,000 rear troops, and Liu Qing has only 30,000 troops of Yu Wenhua when he gets the gold medal for transferring troops.

Liu Qing walked out of the main hall of the Confucian Temple quickly, and when he walked to the square, he happened to meet Pei Yun, Pei Yun is currently named the left servant of Shangshu, like other officials, there is nothing to do every day, most of the time is spent wandering around the county, in the county they are free, but they are not allowed to go out of the city gate.

Liu Qing and Pei Yun faced each other, although the two did not speak, they quickly exchanged a look, Pei Yun's pace slowed down, until Liu Qing left the palace, Pei Yun walked towards the east gate of the palace in a hurry.

Although Liu Qing left the palace but did not go out of the city, but returned to his home, his home is in the west of the county seat, is a small house covering an area of only one acre, there are no high walls in the small county town, and there are no groups of slaves, up to Xiangguo, down to Qipin, living in small houses, low walls, four or five tile houses, and there is a vacant land behind to grow vegetables.

Liu Qing lived with his concubine, Liu Qing returned home, and the concubine greeted him and said in surprise: "The master came back so early?" ”

"Yes! I'm waiting for someone. ”

Liu Qing entered the house and sat down, and the concubine came in with a cup of tea, her surname was Jiang, she was from Jiangdu, she was originally a singer in Jiangdu City, and she was taken by Liu Qing and married as a concubine.

Jiang put the tea on the table, a little embarrassed, "Master, my brother wants to borrow a little money." ”

"Why does he have to borrow money again, and it's not over?"

Liu Qing was a little unhappy, Jiang had a younger brother, who was a splash in Jiangdu City, and he was idle all day long, causing trouble, Liu Qing arranged him to be a guard in the palace, but after being a guard, he was even more like a fish in water, and went out to drink and gamble with a group of guards all day long, sleeping in Liu, every time he lost money, he came to ask his sister for money, not only that, but also owed a butt of gambling debts, all of which were his sister to pay off his debts, and after a long time, he was discovered by Liu Qing and no longer allowed Jiang to manage money.

Seeing that her husband was angry, Jiang didn't dare to say anything, and bowed her head to go out, Liu Qing couldn't bear it, so she said: "Then give him another twenty hangings and tell him that there is no next time." ”

"Yes!"

Jiang Shi left the guest hall, at this time, there was a knock on the door, she thought it was her brother coming, but she hurriedly opened the door, but it was Xiangguo Pei Yun, she was stunned, and immediately reacted, "Xiangguo is here to find my master?" ”

Pei Yun nodded, "Is Mr. Liu here?" ”

Liu Qing had already come out of the room and bowed his hand to Pei Yun, "Pei Xiangguo, please come here!" ”

Pei Yun walked into the room, Liu Qing closed the door, put the gold medal on the table, and said with a smile: "Tell Xiangguo a good news." ”

Pei Yun was suddenly surprised, "He actually gave you the gold medal for troop transfer." ”

"I think we have a chance."

……

Jiang was making tea in the kitchen, and suddenly a dark shadow rushed in, startling her, and then looked closely, it was her brother Jiang Yulang, her eyebrows frowned slightly, "Why did you come in over the wall again, can't you knock on the door and come in?" ”

Jiang Yulang is only about twenty years old, as early as when his sister was a singer in a wine shop, he had a bad habit, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, omnipotent, and now he is a guard who is even more addicted to gambling, and he owes a butt of gambling debts, and now the guards are forcing the debts to be tight, so he has to come to his sister to ask for money.

Jiang Yunose said with a hippie smile: "Sister, next time you must knock on the door, where is the money?" ”

"The money is on the table, take it yourself!"

Jiang Yulang saw that there was a cloth bag on the table, and hurriedly opened it, and saw that there were only twenty hangings in it, so he immediately changed his face, "Sister, it's only twenty hangings, how can I repay my debts!" ”

He begged with a sad face: "Guard Lei has already released his words, if I don't pay back the money today, he will want my life, sister, you can't watch your brother being killed!" ”

Jiang Shi sighed, took off the gold hairpin on his head, the gold bracelet on his wrist and the jade ring, and handed it to him, "I only have so much, I thought you could get better as a guard, but you are getting more and more ...... Alas! You go back to Jiangdu! ”

Where is Jiang Yulang willing to listen to his sister's persuasion, he stared at a pair of gold bracelets, his eyes were shining, now gold is extremely valuable, one or two gold can be exchanged for a hundred hanging money, these gold are at least seven or eight taels, he took the gold, and pouted to the next room, and asked with an ambiguous smile: "Sister, who is in the room?" ”

"Hey! Where do you want to go, it's your brother-in-law who is back, and Pei Xiangguo, who is discussing things, go quickly! ”

When Jiang Yulang heard that Liu Qing was there, he was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran, but when he ran to the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, aren't Liu Qing and Pei Yun mortal enemies? Why did they get together again, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and when his sister didn't come, he slipped to the back window to eavesdrop.

"Since Yu Wenhua has agreed to start, then Yu Wenzhi must be eradicated first, and then Sima Deji must be cleaned up.

"But I'm a little worried about Chen Ling, he is Yu Wenshu's old subordinate, if he has an ambiguous attitude, then the problem is a bit troublesome, can Xiangguo persuade him."

"I can give it a try, after all, Chen Ling is a royalist, as long as I know the righteousness, I believe he will stand by our side."

"Okay, let's go our separate ways, I'll go and kill Yuwen Zhihe and Sima Dejiao first, and Xiangguo will persuade Fang Ling."

Outside the back window, Jiang Yulang's eyes were round, and he saw a small tree by the backyard wall, so he quickly climbed the small tree and walked over the wall.

……

Yuwen Zhihe was named the general of the right Tun Wei and the military department of Shangshu, commanding 30,000 ancient troops, stationed outside the West City, at this time it was just after noon, Yuwen Zhihe was alone in the tent drinking stuffy wine, he was also quite dissatisfied with the eldest brother Yu Wenhua and the original will of the few relatives was that the Yuwen family rebelled in Danyang County, established the country and called the emperor, but in the end it became a support for the Great Sui, his eldest brother only served as the prime minister, which was too far from his father's will.

He persuaded his eldest brother to kill Emperor Sui more than once and set up himself as the emperor, but the eldest brother was afraid of this and that, saying that he was afraid of throwing rats, afraid of the dissatisfaction of the soldiers, and afraid of the opposition of the ministers, which made Yuwen Zhihe extremely depressed in his heart, he knew that the eldest brother listened to the words of his confidant Liu Qing and did not dare to call himself the emperor, which made Yuwen Zhi and hate Liu Qing.

If the eldest brother refuses to dengji, then the emperor will let him be the father's will, and he has every reason to ask the eldest brother to abdicate.

Yuwen Zhihe drank the sullen wine cup after cup, and at this moment, he suddenly heard the shouting and scolding of his own soldiers outside, "What are you, do you dare to break into the general's camp?" ”

"I have something urgent to report to the general, someone wants to kill the general, and it will be too late if it is too late."

This voice is a little familiar, Yuwen Zhihe remembered, this is Jiang Yulang's voice, Yuwen Zhiji is also addicted to gambling, and often summons some guards to gamble money, this Jiang Yu ...... Lang is the most tasteless of them, and he often fails to pay his debts, and Yuwen Zhihe didn't allow him to come a long time ago.

Yuwen Zhiji was surprised in his heart, someone actually wanted to kill himself, who was it? He walked out of the tent quickly and asked with a calm face, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiang Yulang hurriedly stepped forward and said a few words to Yuwen Zhihe, Yuwen Zhihe's face changed greatly, he took a few steps back, and glared at Jiang Yulang viciously, "What you said is true?" ”

"This is what I heard with my own ears, and I will never dare to deceive the general."

Yuwen Zhihe's eyes shot a fierce light, Liu Qing actually wanted to kill himself, and he also said that he moved his eldest brother to kill himself, although Yuwen Zhihe was in his forties, he was still a reckless and impulsive person in his bones, he didn't know how many times he was rectified by Yang Yuanqing, and he didn't know how many times he was punished by his father Yuwenshu, but his nature was still difficult to change.

At this moment, several soldiers from the front battalion walked briskly, stepped forward and saluted: "General Qiqi, the lord has an urgent matter, please go over and discuss." ”

"*** Liu Qing, it's coming!"

Yu Wenzhi and thundered, he snatched a spear, and poked it fiercely, a soldier couldn't dodge, he poked to the ground, the other two were so frightened that they turned their heads and fled, Yu Wenzhi and yelled, "Kill them!" ”

The pro-soldiers swarmed up and killed the two pro-soldiers, Yuwen Zhihe had already been released, since the eldest brother was unkind, he blamed him for being unjust, he shouted, "Pass my order!" The soldiers immediately gathered. ”

……

Yu Wenhua and the 30,000 troops under his command are the elite of all the armies, of which 20,000 are stationed outside the northern city, and the other 10,000 are stationed in the city.

Liu Qing sat in the big tent and drank tea slowly, thinking about his way out, Liu Qing's name has been charged with the historical crime of killing the king, he can't go back, and the court can't tolerate him after he goes back, if he can change his name and surname to become a rich man, it will already be his greatest blessing.

When he changed his name to Liu Qing to accept this task, he knew that there would be this result, he was a person who died once, he was not afraid of death, he only hoped that the chief manager could fulfill his promise and give his son a future, then he would die without regrets!

Liu Qing sighed, walked to the tent with his hands behind his back, looked at the blood-red sun in the distance, and felt an indescribable sense of desolation in his heart

At this moment, a shout of killing suddenly broke out in the distance, and Liu Qing was stunned, what happened? Immediately afterwards, a soldier rushed to report: "Qi Liu Changshi, Yuwen Zhihe led the army into the camp!" ”

Liu Qing was taken aback, how could Yu Wenzhi and how could he see through his plan, the situation took a sharp turn, he had already seen countless soldiers slaughtering into the camp, many large tents were set on fire, smoke rose to the sky, his soldiers were defenseless, and they were killed and fled in disarray.

Liu Qing immediately made a decision and shouted: "Order the whole army to withdraw to the city!" ”

Liu Qing turned on his horse and ran towards the city with hundreds of people, but at this time the city gate was closed, and countless soldiers stood at the head of the city, looking uneasily at the raging fire in the camp in the distance.

"Open the gates!"

Liu Qing shouted loudly under the city, at this time Yu Wenhua also ran to the city, he was stunned by the changes in front of him, he heard Liu Qing's shout under the city, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the city!" ”

The city gate opened, Liu Qing led the army into the city, and the city gate immediately rumbled shut, no matter how the soldiers later called the door, the city gate was no longer opened.

"Changshi, what happened?" Yu Wenhua and ran down the city and shouted.

"Report to the lord, Yuwen Zhihe and Sima Dejiao colluded to rebel, they launched it in advance!"

Yu Wenhua was stunned, and after a while, he stomped his feet in hatred, "Is the fool going to kill me?" ”

At this time, there was a chaos outside the city, Yuwen Zhiji's soldiers had white cloth wrapped around their arms, fierce and abnormal, the army that killed Yu Wenhua and cried all over the sky, threw away their armor and fled, and Sima Dejiao, who was stationed outside the south gate, also got the news that the Yuwen brothers had internal strife, which was a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters, Sima Dejiao could not wait for the night, and immediately led the army to attack the south gate.
