Let's bring the picture back to the present, back to the meeting site of the commander-in-chief of the Qinwang Army, that is, to pull back the Chinese army tent of Li Yuan of the Taiyuan Qinwang Army.

"Ambassador Li, I'm so sorry, His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict and has appointed the commander-in-chief to lead the soldiers and horses of the King of Zhuluqin! So what kind of promotion you just made is useless! Not to mention that not everyone has elected you to be the coach of Qinwang, even if everyone supports you, you are not qualified to sit in the position now! ”

Li Yuan has had a lot of hateful subordinates, who hate him so much that he wants to kill people, but like the hateful and disgusting subordinates of the Yin Shishi, Li Yuan really encountered it for the first time, so after hearing the words of the Yin Shishi, Ambassador Li, who had already bent down and was ready to sit in the handsome position, suddenly stood up straight, his face was blue and angry, and his eyes were as terrifying as a hungry wolf who chose people to devour, and the ferocious Cheng Dù was far more than the gaze that scared Yun Dingxing before.

It's a pity that although Yin Shishi is also Li Yuan's subordinate, he is an official parachuted from the imperial court, and he once served as a feudal official left behind in Zhuojun, and he is very trusted in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, Li Yuan knows very well that he can't scare him, so while the audience is in an uproar, Li Yuan also forced himself to calm down, and asked with a cold expression: "Yin Taishou, His Majesty the Emperor was surrounded by the Turks in Yanmen City, how did the edict he issued get to you?" ”

"Ambassador Li, have you forgotten the Driftwood Edict before Your Majesty?" The Yin Shishi had no fear, sneered even more, and said: "After the emperor was surrounded by the Turks, in addition to sending the dead out of the city to deliver the edict, he also tied the edict on a wood and threw it into the Hutuo River, so that the river could transmit the edict and proclaim the edict to the soldiers and horses of the world to go north to King Qin. After Xia Guan led the army to Xinkou, in order to prevent accidents, he arranged a special person to guard the Hutuo River day and night, ready to meet His Majesty's edict at any time. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Yuan, whose face was getting more and more pale, and then the Yin Shishi smiled and said: "The hard work pays off, just now I arranged for the soldiers to monitor the Hutuo River, and found two sealed wooden boxes nailed with conspicuous red cloth in the river, scooped them up and opened them, and sure enough, I found two edicts covered with the jade seal of His Majesty the Emperor. The content of the two edicts is exactly the same, in addition to canonizing the commander of the Qinwang War, it also shows that this edict has nine copies, the content is exactly the same, only in order to prevent Turkic interception only nine copies were written, no matter which edict the Qinwang army received, it must follow the edict. ”

Hearing this, Ambassador Li Yuan Li even had the heart to strangle the troubled subordinate of the Yin Shishi, but unfortunately the other leaders of the Qinwang army were big sycophants, and praised Emperor Yang of Sui for his foresight, holy candlelight, and foresight, and an edict solved the huge problem that the commander of the Qinwang coalition army could not fully convince the public, and also praised the Yin Shishi for his courage and loyalty, and his heart was as careful as a hair, and he was able to take precautions and send people to guard the Hutuo River day and night, and he really received the second edict of Emperor Yang of Sui, in which our old general Yun Dingxing Yun also raised his arms and shouted: " Ten thousand years of the Son of Heaven, long live the emperor, with the edict of His Majesty, our Great Sui soldiers will definitely be invincible, invincible, easy to break the Turks, and the siege of Yanmen is just around the corner! ”

"Yin Taishou, you are really a life-saving Bodhisattva." Our little Zhengtai Chen Fuliang who lost his conscience was even more excited, and hurriedly asked Yin Shishishi: "Yin Taishou, which important minister of the court appointed as the commander of King Qin?" ”

Seeing Chen Yingliang's eager expression, Yin Shishishi's expression became a little strange, and he didn't pay attention to the other candidates who inquired about the commander of King Qin, but just asked Chen Yingliang rhetorically: "Deputy Envoy Chen, if His Majesty still appoints Ambassador Li Yuan and Li as the commander of the Qinwang Alliance, will you be edicted?" ”

Yin Shi Shishi's words are too misleading, hearing Yin Shi Shishi's words, Li Yuan, who was already blue, immediately raised his head, was surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "It's not wrong!" It's definitely me! Yang Guang Xiao'er was surrounded by the Turks in Yanmen City, and he didn't know who had arrived at King Qinkou in Xinkou, and I was stationed in Taiyuan King Qinwang's battle, and Yang Guang had no choice but to appoint me as the commander of King Qin! ”

At the same time, Li Er, who was eavesdropping outside the tent, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his nervous brother-in-law Chai Shao on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, the emperor doesn't know anything about the situation here in Xinkou, my father is stationed in Taiyuan and is in charge of Yanmen County, and His Majesty has no second choice except to appoint my father as the commander of King Qin." ”

At the same time, hearing the words of the Yin Shishi, Chen Yingliang's face also changed slightly, and the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited was suddenly shattered, but he had no ability to change, so he could only reply with a sad face: "If Your Majesty also canonizes Ambassador Li as the commander of the Qinwang Coalition Army, I, as a courtier of the Great Sui, will of course act under the edict and respect Ambassador Li as the commander." ”

"Really?" The Yin World Master smiled and asked again, "Are you telling the truth, or are you perfunctory to me?" ”

Seeing the strange smile on the face of the Yin World Master, Chen Yingliang suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he didn't answer the Yin World Master's strange questions, Li Yuan stood behind the handsome case and couldn't see the expression of the Yin World Master, and also said that the Yin World Master was warning Chen Yingliang not to resist the decree, so he smiled and said: "Yin Taishou rest assured, after the Emperor's Majesty's edict is read, even if Deputy Envoy Chen is not convinced, he must not have the courage to resist and disobey the edict, you just have to declare the edict truthfully, if Deputy Envoy Chen does not obey the edict, this official will not spare him first!" ”

"Yin Taishou, don't be wordy." Liu Changgong, who had been pressed by his uncle, finally seized the opportunity to speak, and said angrily: "Brother Ying Liang is loyal to His Majesty, how can he not listen to the edict?" Let's talk about it, who did His Majesty appoint as the commander of the Qinwang coalition army? ”

"Yes, Yin Taishou, don't sell it, tell me who it is?" Yun Dingxing and other leaders of the Qinwang Yishi urged one after another.

Yin Shishi smiled, turned to Li Yuan, and said calmly, "Ambassador Li." ”

"Congratulations to Li Dashuai!" The Chinese army's tent once again erupted like thunderous congratulations, countless officials rushed to salute Li Yuan, Li Yuan smiled so hard that his mouth couldn't close, Li Er and Chai Shao outside the Chinese army tent also smiled at each other, and directly clapped their hands to celebrate, knowing that this time Li Yuan ordered Chen Yingliang to go alone to the conflict with the 10,000-strong array, Chen Yingliang could only obediently obey the order.

"What are you anxious about? Hear me out! The loud shouts of the Yin Shi Shi interrupted the sycophancy that rushed to Li Yuan like a tide, and then the Yin Shi Shi said: "Ambassador Li, the lower official is going to read His Majesty's edict in public, and you are still standing behind the handsome case, are you too disrespectful to His Majesty's holy decree?" ”

The embarrassed expression appeared on almost everyone's face, and Li Yuan was the most embarrassed on his face, and secretly scolded You said earlier, why are you panting so much? Then he smiled fakely, walked to the front of the Shuai case and turned to face the Shuai case, and the Yin Shishi walked to the front of the Shuai case with an edict, turned around and shouted: "The holy decree has arrived-!" ”

Li Yuan took the lead in saluting the Yin Shi Ji Shou who was holding the edict, and Chen Yingliang, Yun Dingxing and the other leaders of the Qin Wang Army stood in their positions according to their ranks, and then they also saluted and said in unison: "The ministers welcome the holy decree!" ”

In front of everyone's eyes, countless people were nervous and waited with bated breath, Yin Shishi opened an edict, first cleared his throat, and then read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the Great Sui Emperor's edict said: Chen Yingliang, the deputy envoy of the twelve counties of Henan Province, is loyal to the country, unparalleled in righteousness, and has made outstanding achievements in eliminating violence and chaos. Commanding the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang of all roads to go to the national disaster, the army of the Qinwang of all roads was dispatched and commanded, the money and food were mobilized, the rewards and punishments were deposed, and the life and death were taken away, and Chen Yingliang should be disposed of ....... ”

Before the edict of the Yin Shishi was finished, there was already a sound of glasses shattering in the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Yingliang's mouth opened twice as big as usual, Liu Changgong, Yun Dingxing and Li Jing's mouths opened three times as big as usual, and the other leaders of the Qinwang army were all stunned, and they all suspected that they were in a dream. And the most wonderful expression is, of course, Ambassador Li Yuan, both eyes almost popped out of their sockets, their mouths opened so much that they were dislocated on the spot, their minds were completely blank, their eyes were as blank as newborn babies, and they couldn't help but quietly pinch their thighs to check if they were in a nightmare?

"All Qinwang soldiers and horses, but all civil and military officials, military and civilian soldiers who participated in the war of Qinwang, regardless of the size of the official position, the title of the humble and humble, all need to obey Chen Yingliang's command, there must be no mistake! If there is a violation of the order, Chen Yingliang can hold this edict to cut it first and then play, and there is no need to tolerate it! Chin this! ”

The nightmare did not wake up, and will never wake up, the Yin World Master quickly finished reading this not too long edict, and then the Yin World Master put down the holy decree and said calmly: "Deputy Envoy Chen, you should receive the decree and thank you." Colleagues, Ambassador Lee, it is time for you to receive your gratitude. ”

No one said anything for a long time, and after a long time, General Yun was the first to wake up from his dream, and quickly kowtowed: "Weichen leads the decree, the Son of Heaven is ten thousand years." ”

"Minister's will, minister's will." General Yun, who had the highest official rank, took the lead, and although the other leaders of the Qinwang Army still felt as if they were dreaming, they all followed the leader's order, and in the end, only Chen Yingliang and Li Yuan were left in the big tent without making a sound. In the end, it was the Yin Shishi who reminded him again, and Chen Yingliang, who was stunned, woke up like a dream, hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then jumped up and said that the first thing he said was......

"Yin Taishou, I'm not dreaming, am I? His Majesty the Emperor, did you really directly issue an edict appointing me as the commander of the Qinwang coalition army?! ”

Yin Shishi smiled bitterly, and while handing the holy decree to Chen Yingliang, he said with a wry smile: "To be honest, when I saw this edict just now, I also felt that I was dreaming, and I couldn't figure it out, how could His Majesty the Emperor appoint you as the commander-in-chief?" Your achievements and merits are enough, but you are only nineteen years old, and I didn't even think that the emperor would hand over such a heavy burden to you, a nineteen-year-old little doll? ”

Everyone was nodding, including Chen Yingliang himself, feeling that this matter was too unbelievable, and he couldn't understand why Emperor Yang of Sui made such an astonishing decision. And after hearing this, Li Yuan, who had already flown out of the world, immediately returned to his soul, quickly raised his head, and said viciously: "Wait! I want to check the authenticity of the edict, His Majesty the Emperor was besieged by the Turks in Yanmen City, how could I know that Chen Yingliang also led troops to King Xinkou Qin? This matter is so unbelievable, I want to check the authenticity of the edict to see if anyone has forged it! ”

The Yin Shishi didn't blink his eyelids, and immediately handed another edict to Li Yuan, Chen Yingliang hesitated, and also handed the edict he had already received in his hand to Li Yuan, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart, and said secretly: "Could it be that my accomplice lackey forged it?" It's not likely, and if it does, it's bad. ”

Li Yuan's expression quickly relieved Chen Yingliang, holding the two edicts and looking at them over and over, Li Yuan's expression was first full of hope, then gradually disappointed, then his face began to turn pale, and finally after repeatedly checking the jade seal on the edict, Li Yuan finally completely despaired, and muttered: "How is it possible?" His Majesty, how did you know that Chen Yingliang also came to Xinkou? The Central Plains army is coming so fast, it is impossible for His Majesty to know? ”

The big tent was so quiet that even a needle could be heard clearly when it landed, although Li Yuan's muttering was small, it was also heard by everyone, and the result quickly reminded Yuan Tiangang, who had been standing next to the big tent after accompanying Chen Yingliang into the tent, and made Yuan Tiangang raise his head and exclaimed: "Deputy envoy, could it be that Qian Xiangmin Qian joined the army and really sent your Qinwang Song into Yanmen City, right?" Otherwise, it is indeed impossible for His Majesty the Emperor to know that you have come to Xinkou! ”

A word to wake up the person in the dream, so that Chen Yingliang suddenly remembered that the accomplice lackey Qian who had been completely forgotten joined the army, and all the doubts were immediately solved, when the Yin Shishi next to him asked the reason, Chen Yingliang answered truthfully, saying that he sent a lackey to send Qinwang Zuozhang to Yanmen City, and it is likely that he successfully got in touch with Emperor Yang of Sui. As a result, the Yin Shishi and many Qinwang officials suddenly roared, saying that why didn't any of the messengers he sent to deliver the letter succeed, but let Chen Yingliang's messenger succeed? Li Yuan couldn't wait to hit his head on the ground, and scolded in his heart, "Hou Junji! What the hell are you, why don't you have Chen Yingliang's lackeys to fight for?! ”

The mystery of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty appointing Chen Yingliang as the commander of the Qinwang coalition army was guessed, and everyone envied Chen Yingliang's good luck and ability. Do you receive the order? ”

Chai Shao and Li Er, who were eavesdropping outside the big tent, were already paralyzed on the ground, all of them were as pale as paper, with more breath and less breath, Li Yuan was almost paralyzed on the ground, and wanted to refuse to receive the edict several times, but he didn't have the courage and courage, he gritted his teeth and wanted to tear up all the two edicts in his hand, but his hands trembled, and he couldn't lift it. In the end, after hesitating for a long time, Li Yuan finally picked up the two edicts with difficulty, and said with even more difficulty: "Your ......, thank you for the decree, the ...... of heaven, and the son of heaven for ten thousand years." ”

With the difficult command on his lips, Li Yuan's heart was of course roaring and roaring, "Yang Guang'er, you can't die well!" ”

Yin Shishi took the two edicts very unceremoniously, and then knelt down on one knee to Chen Yingliang, raised the two edicts above his head, and said loudly: "Chen Dashuai, please hold the edict in place, give the commander, the last general Yin Shishi on behalf of Lou Fuqin Wang Jun up and down, listen to the commander's orders!" ”

Chen Yingliang's face was a little flushed, he took a deep breath first, and then took the two edicts with both hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you Yin Taishou, please also forgive your sins, the juniors are disrespectful, from now on, the juniors will give you orders and commands." ”

Yin Shi Shi nodded without hesitation, then stood up and said loudly: "Please Chen Dashuai to raise the account!" ”

"Please ask Chen Dashuai to raise the account!" Liu Changgong yelled loudly, and this time his uncle Liu Jingye finally did not obstruct the trouble, and also saluted with him, respectfully asking the handsome Chen Fuliang, who had lost his conscience, to be promoted.

"Please ask Chen Dashuai to raise the account!" The wall-headed grass officials represented by Yun Dingxing Yun Lao General saluted and shouted neatly, and the number of them was extremely large, and their voices were far louder than the voices that pleaded with Li Yuan to be promoted to the tent just now.

"Please ask Chen Dashuai to raise the account." Li Jing bowed to Chen Yingliang very calmly, and Chen Yingliang also glanced at him and found that his expression was still as calm and indifferent as ever, which was unpredictable.

Of course, Li Yuan, who wanted to strangle Chen Yingliang to death, kept his mouth shut and refused to make a noise, Chen Yingliang of course would not bother with him about such small details at this juncture, but just strode to the handsome chair that Li Yuan dreamed of, and said loudly: "Colleagues, among the generals of the soldiers and horses of the King of Zhuluqin, I, Chen Yingliang, am the youngest and the least qualified, you are either my uncle or uncle, or my elder brother, it stands to reason that I will never be able to sit in this handsome position." But since His Majesty the Emperor has issued an edict and handed over this heavy burden to me, if I refuse it again, it will be a disobedience to the decree, so I have no choice but to reluctantly take on this responsibility, and I will make amends to you one by one for the offenses I have committed to you after King Qin rescues me. But now, I have to announce as the manager, the promotion! ”

After that, Chen Yingliang sat on the handsome seat, and the leaders of the soldiers and horses of the King of the Roads and Rivers, such as Yin Shishi, Liu Changgong and Yun Dingxing, did not hesitate, and all knelt down on one knee to Chen Yingliang, saluted with fists, and said neatly: "I've seen Chen Dashuai!" ”

"I've seen Chen Dashuai." The hoarse voice was very discordant, and the owner of the voice, Li Yuan, almost fell to the ground during the salute, and finally supported his body, Li Yuan looked up at Chen Yingliang, who was sitting behind the handsome case, and saw Chen Yingliang's ugly face that was almost immature, and a sense of desperate fear suddenly appeared in Li Yuan's heart, so that Li Yuan, who is forty-nine years old this year, couldn't help but groan in his heart, "Nineteen years old, only nineteen years old climbed on the head of the old man, will the old man be able to surpass him again in the future?" ”

At the same time, outside the tent door, he peeked at Chen Yingliang's high-spirited appearance of being crowned by a monkey and sitting in a handsome position to accept everyone's salute, Li Er's heart was not only envious, but also more flavorful, remembering the scene when he and Chen Yingliang met for the first time, and also remembered the various grievances and festivals between himself and Chen Yingliang, and even remembered the eldest grandson Xiao Luoli who was waiting for Chen Yingliang in Daxing City, and a more desperate sense of fear also appeared in Li Er's heart at the same time............

Li Er's heart is just full of tastes, Chai Shao's heart is of course even more delicious, remembering the first time he met Chen Yingliang, remembering Chen Yingliang's original downfall and poverty, and even more remembering his beloved sister who often washes her face with tears, her father Chai Shen, who is paralyzed in bed, and all kinds of ridicule and humiliation he has suffered in the past two years......

Chai Shao's heart is not desperate, because Chai Shao has long been desperate to the point where he can't regain his strength, Chai Shao's heart is only angry, so angry that even the circles under his eyes are red, and he subconsciously wants to rush into the big tent of the Chinese army and fight with his mortal enemy Chen Yingliang to die together! However, as soon as Chai Shao's footsteps moved, Li Er grabbed him, and when Chai Shao turned to look at Li Er, he saw that Li Er's eyes were redder than his own, and his white eyes were almost covered with bloodshots, but he still whispered to himself: "Patience!" A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late! If you go in now, you'll never have a chance to take revenge! ”

Before he finished speaking, there was already a thin line of blood, flowing down the corner of Li Er's mouth.
