Chapter 317: The Wind is Treacherous
Unable to resist Chen Fuliang's repeated requests, Pei Xingfang finally took the seriously wounded from the rear camp out of the camp and returned to Luokoucang first, and Chen Fuliang, who had already changed into the clothes of the soldiers of the Henan Arrest Army, did not send him, and took Wei Chi Jingde and Sangouzi, who were also in disguise, and went directly back to Qin Qiong's camp with Luo Shixin. During this period, Luo Shixin also proposed to return to his camp and organize his own army to prepare for war, but Chen Fuliang was worried that Luo Shixin, who had a simple personality, would show any flaws, so he did not agree.
The biggest flaw is still in Jia Runfu's body, when he returned to Qin Qiong's camp and just saw Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong immediately reported to Chen Fuliang, saying that Jia Yanfu's people had come to his camp for the second time to inquire about Jia Yanfu's whereabouts, Qin Qiong sent the people away under the pretext of not knowing, but Jia Yanfu's people obviously had some suspicions, and it was only a matter of time before the news of Jia Yanfu's disappearance was stabbed in front of Pei Renji. So after a general introduction to the situation, Qin Qiong hurriedly asked again: "Stay behind, what should I do next?" If Pei Dashuai knew that Jia Yanfu had come to me in the end, he would definitely have to pass the last general for questioning, and if the last general didn't go at that time, it would be disobeying the military order? ”
"Don't worry, wait another hour, and you'll be fine in an hour." Chen Fuliang replied calmly, and asked about the current time, knowing that it was the beginning of the hour, Chen Fuliang nodded, stopped talking, and said secretly in his heart: "This place is only ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, even if it is the wartime transportation is inconvenient, if Xiao Huaijing's side is really a Wagang spy, one hour is enough for him to send the news to the Tiger Prison Pass." ”
comforted Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin again, Chen Fuliang did not sit and wait in vain, with the help of Wei Chi Jingde and Luo Shixin, Chen Fuliang interrogated Jia Yanfu again in the back account, and bluntly told Jia Yanfu, saying that this was his last chance to give Jia Yanfu, as long as Jia Yanfu truthfully confessed and explained the details of Pei Renji's secret contact with the Wagang Army, he would report to the court that Jia Yanfu had made a meritorious service and guaranteed that Jia Yanfu would not die.
As Pei Renji's absolute confidant after taking over Zhang Xutuo's old department, Jia Yanfu is very aware of the grievances and entanglements between Chen Fuliang and Pei Renji, and understands that once he confesses truthfully, Chen Fuliang will definitely do everything possible to exonerate Pei Renji in order to please Pei Cuiyun, and his ready-made scapegoat will definitely carry the black pot to death. Therefore, Jia Yanfu continued to resist death and refused to admit it, and he also deliberately delayed time, wanting to wait for Pei Renji to realize that the situation was wrong to save himself, even if Wei Chi Jingde punched and kicked him, Jia Yanfu also gritted his teeth and said nothing, Chen Fuliang knew his intentions, but he was helpless, so he could only re-plug Jia Yanfu's mouth and wait for the time to pass minute by minute.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao's uncle Xiao Huaijing also received the news that Pei Xingfang escorted the seriously wounded to leave first, and sneered and understood that this was Chen Fuliang and Pei Renji's plan to minimize the casualties of the soldiers, and Xiao Xiao's uncle also waited patiently in his military tent, waiting for Pei Renji to invite him to the handsome tent to explain in person, and plead guilty to him for concealing the fraud.
Pei Renji's physical condition helped Chen Yingliang a lot, and his spirit was highly nervous for several days, Pei Renji had not rested, and there was something important to do at night, after sending away Pei Xingfang, Pei Renji returned to the sleeping tent to seize the time to rest, although it was still difficult to sleep because of anxiety, but his own soldiers stopped Jia Yanfu's subordinates who came to report Jia Yanfu's disappearance, and bought Chen Fuliang a lot of time more precious than gold.
Time passed slowly, and just after a while, Jia Yanfu's personal soldier captain Tan Qingjiu looked for his boss and disappeared, and he was suspicious in his heart, and went to the Chinese army again to report the matter to Pei Renji, but fortunately Pei Renji's personal soldiers stopped him again, and Tan Qing did not dare to break into Pei Renji's sleeping tent, but begged Pei Renji's personal soldiers to report the matter immediately after Pei Renji woke up. At the same time, Tan Qing mobilized a large number of Jia Yanfu's subordinates to search everywhere to inquire about Jia Yanfu's whereabouts, and the situation of Jia Yanfu's disappearance was gradually known by the soldiers of the Pei Army.
At the same time, He Yanyu came to Qin Qiong's camp to see Chen Yingliang, and reported to Chen Yingliang the news that the army under his command had been secretly guarded, seeing that Chen Yingliang just nodded and did not speak, He Yanyu was still a little worried, and couldn't help asking: "Stay behind, what should I do next?" It's nothing that the soldiers and horses in the camp are secretly on guard, but we detained Jia Yanfu and didn't report it to Ambassador Pei, this matter seems to be a bit ......? ”
"I'm alone about what happens, and it has nothing to do with you." Chen Fuliang replied quietly, and said: "Wait patiently, if there is anything to say, I will talk about it at the beginning of the Shen time." ”
Everything is difficult to be smooth sailing, and in a few moments, although Jia Yanfu's subordinates led by Tan Qing have not yet discovered Jia Yanfu's traces, they inadvertently noticed He Yanyu's camp secret guard during the search, and Tan Qing, who assisted Jia Yanfu in managing secrets, vaguely sensed that something was wrong, so he came to Pei Renji's bedroom door for the third time to ask for a meeting. However, at the same time that Tan Qing returned to the camp of the Chinese army, Uncle Xiao Guo, who was also in the Chinese army, also received the news of Jia Yanfu's disappearance, and was surprised by this, Uncle Xiao Guo, who had been waiting for more than an hour, was a little breathless, and simply went directly to the big tent to find Pei Renji to understand the situation.
Knowing that Pei Renji was resting, Tan Qing of course went directly to Pei Renji's bedroom door, and after being stopped by Pei Renji's personal soldiers again, Tan Qing did not dare to continue waiting this time, and resolutely asked Pei Renji to meet immediately while explaining the situation, and the voice was slightly louder during the dispute, and he quickly woke up Pei Renji, who was tossing and turning in the tent, Pei Renji opened his mouth to ask the reason, and the personal soldiers truthfully reported it, and Tan Qing was finally able to enter the sleeping tent to meet Pei Renji, and reported to Pei Renji about Jia Yanfu's disappearance.
"Runfu is missing?" Pei Renji, who had countless vital secrets in Jia Yanfu's hands, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "When did you disappear?" Where did he end up? ”
"It's been almost two hours since you disappeared." Tan Qing replied truthfully: "About two hours ago, Jia Hujun was invited by General Qin Qiong to come to the camp to talk, and then we never saw him again, and then the villain sent someone to find him, and General Qin Qiong also said that Jia Hujun had left a long time ago, and then I never saw him again." ”
After all, he was a thief, Pei Renji's face suddenly turned a little pale, and he hurriedly asked, "Then is there anyone in the camp who can see where he is?" ”
"Nope." Tan Qing shook his head and replied: "Except for General Qin's camp gate guards who saw him leave, no one saw him, and the small one went to the big camp to ask carefully, and the guards of all the gates did not see Jia Hujun out of the camp." ”
"Where to go there?" Pei Renji was puzzled in his heart, and when he thought of a certain possibility, Pei Renji quickly shook his head and drove this terrible thought out of his mind, and said secretly in his heart: "Impossible, it is impossible for Jia Yanfu to betray me, this matter is handled by him for me, and he can't run away even if he goes to tell the truth." Besides, Liu Changgong's troops there are only enough to protect himself at most, even if Liu Changgong knows, he can't do anything about me, Jia Yanfu is not so stupid. ”
"Ambassador, there's one more thing I have to report to you." Tan Qing said in a deep voice: "When the villain was looking for the whereabouts of Jia Hujun everywhere, he accidentally discovered that the situation of General He Yan Yuhe's camp was not right. ”
"What? He Yanyu's army is secretly preparing for war?! Pei Renji's surprise was not trivial, and he immediately shouted: "Come on, immediately summon He Yanyu to come to the Chinese army to see me!" Besides, I ordered all battalions to carefully search for Jia Yanfu's whereabouts, and I wanted to see people alive and corpses when I died! ”
Pei Renji's personal soldiers agreed, and immediately arranged for the herald to go out of the camp to summon He Yanyu, and Pei Renji himself did not dare to rest in the sleeping tent anymore, so he immediately got up in his clothes, changed his clothes and armor and went to the big tent of the Chinese army to preside over the command, and at the same time, for the sake of prudence, Pei Renji issued an order on the road again. Put the Chinese camp on alert immediately. And after entering the big tent of the Chinese army, Pei Renji also happened to meet Uncle Xiao Guo who came to inquire about the news, and the enemy was very red when they met, Pei Renji could only introduce the disappearance of Jia Yanfu and the security of He Yanyu's camp to Xiao Huaijing, who was the supervising army, Xiao Huaijing was surprised when he heard the news, so he did not leave in a hurry, and stayed in the big tent of the Chinese army and waited for He Yanyu to come to explain.
He Yanyu was in Qin Qiong's camp at the moment, and the herald sent by Pei Renji of course ran to his camp in vain first, and then came to Qin Qiong's camp to ask to see He Yanyu, but fortunately, Qin Qiong's camp was already secretly on guard at the moment, and the herald could not immediately enter Qin Qiong's military tent, and the news was sent into the tent by Qin Qiong's own soldiers. Hearing Pei Renji's order, Chen Fuliang, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, immediately opened his eyes, and first asked Qin Qiong's personal soldiers if they confirmed the answer He Yanyu was here, and after getting a negative answer, Chen Fuliang immediately instructed Qin Qiong: "Shubao, go out to sue him, just say that General He has just left and went to the rear camp to visit the wounded." ”
"Stay, this ......." Qin Qiong and He Yanyu, who belonged to Pei Renji, were both in a dilemma.
"Do as I ask, I'll take care of it!" Chen Yingliang's tone was irrefutable, and he said in a deep voice: "Yanyu, after the herald leaves, you go back to the camp immediately, if the herald goes there to find you again, you will say that you have something to do and go back to the camp directly, lie for Shubao, and buy me a little more time!" ”
It was rare to see Chen Fuliang's attitude so strict, Qin Qiong and He Yanyu didn't dare to slack off, and at that moment, Qin Qiong first came forward to lie and deceive the herald sent by Pei Renji, and then He Yanyu returned to his camp from the back camp, letting the unlucky herald run back and forth in vain, wasting time. It was also after He Yanyu left that Chen Fuliang asked Wei Chi Jingde next to him, "When is it?" ”
"Shen Shizheng!" Wei Chi Jingde looked at the drip pot and replied.
"If it's really tonight, the Wagang thieves should start preparing." Chen Fu's conscience was calculated, and he said secretly: "To make careful contact, we must force the big road to take the small road, the speed is slow and dangerous, for the sake of safety, the later I start here, the greater the certainty of success." It's getting late, and the Wagang thieves must be more scruples. ”
…………
As Chen Fuliang estimated, at the same time in the Tiger Prison Pass, the main combat force of the Wagang Army, which had been ordered to rest for a whole day, had already sounded the drum of getting up, and a large number of elite members of the Wagang Army rubbed their sleepy eyes and got up from the bunk, washed and changed clothes, checked weapons and equipment, and the rear army had already prepared hot meals for them, prepared dry food, water hyacinths and torches for night battles, and the Wagang generals also came to the Henan Arrest Ambassador's Mansion left by Pei Renji, waiting for Zhai Rang's order to transfer troops and send generals to be promulgated.
"Send more scouts to work carefully, closely monitor the movements of the officers and soldiers in the camp, and report anything abnormal!" This was the only order issued by Bing Yuanzhen, the division of the Wagang Army, before the pre-war meeting.
…………
The Wagang army is ready to go, and they will send troops to fight at any time, but the camp of the Henan Capture Army is cloudy and treacherous, especially on Chen Fuliang's side, due to the lack of strict intelligence and too much time, Chen Fuliang finally missed one point, that is, although the herald sent by Pei Renji was deceived by Qin Qiong with lies, but during the period of entering Qin Qiong's camp, he noticed that Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses had secretly prepared for war - this is very easy to confirm. As long as the resting soldiers are seen in armor and weapons, and waiting in tents according to their formations, anyone with a little military experience knows that they are ready for battle.
Of course, this caused an accident, after being deceived by Qin Qiong to the back camp and still not finding He Yanyu, the herald did not run back and forth to look for He Yanyu everywhere, but directly returned to the Chinese army to report the situation to Pei Renji. Hearing this news, not only did Pei Renji, who was a thief, change his face greatly, but Uncle Xiao Guo, who was also present, was also taken aback, and asked in unison: "Qin Qiong's camp is also on guard?" Do you want to confirm it? ”
The herald opened his mouth to confirm, and also reported what he had seen and heard in Qin Qiong's camp, Pei Renji and Uncle Xiao Guo were even more shocked when they heard it, and then Pei Renji naturally immediately ordered to summon Qin Qiong, and after sending the herald out, Uncle Xiao Guo thought for a while, and felt that the showdown time had come, so he turned to Pei Renji and asked, "Dashuai, it's time to tell the official to make a detailed plan, right?" ”
"Detailed plans? What do you mean? Pei Renji was taken aback, and subconsciously thought that Uncle Xiao Guo already knew that he was preparing to surrender to the Wagang Army.
"Dashuai, things have come to this point, I really don't know what you are still hiding from me?" Uncle Xiao Guo smiled and said slowly: "Xiaguan is very interested, and I also ask the marshal to give advice, how did you get in touch with the Wagang thief?" And how did you gain the trust of the tile thieves and convince them that you were ready to surrender? -- Although the subordinate official is a humble position, as a supervisor of the army, such a major matter, the subordinate official must still know what is going on, so that he can report it to the imperial court. ”
Uncle Xiao Xiao's words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Pei Renji jumped up from the handsome chair, looked at Uncle Xiao Xiao in disbelief, his mind was completely blank, and several of Pei Renji's confidants and soldiers who knew about it next to him also immediately drew their knives, but these actions also startled Uncle Xiao Guo, and hurriedly asked a few pro-soldiers: "What do you want to do?" Unauthorized use of knives in the handsome tent, do you still want to have heads? ”
Several pro-soldiers were silent, and they all peeked at Pei Renji's reaction, while Pei Renji was quickly calculating in his mind, while making his eyes let the pro-soldiers go out of the account to check the movement, and to find out if Uncle Xiao Xiao had any tricks, he forced himself to calmly ask Uncle Xiao Guo: "How much do you know?" ”
"I know it all." Uncle Xiao Guo was quite proud, and said: "I even know how many soldiers and horses from the Eastern Capital brought by Chen Yingliang and Chen Liu. ”
"Chen Yingliang is also here? And brought soldiers and horses?! "Pei Renji was struck by lightning again, his first reaction was to scream secretly, he must have leaked the news, Chen Yingliang has already brought the army to conquer me, that kid has a lot of prestige in the army, two thirds of my command are his old eastern capital, and the rest are also very related to him, he doesn't need to lead the army to fight with me at all, as long as he shows up on the battlefield and raises his arms, my army will collapse immediately!
"Why did Pei Lao Pifu react like this?" Uncle Xiao Guo was not extremely surprised, and he couldn't understand why Pei Renji reacted so violently.
Seeing the sweat on his forehead, thinking nervously, Pei Renji asked tentatively: "Chen Yingliang has already arrived there?" ”
"Dashuai, why do you ask me this question?" Uncle Xiao Guo was even more confused, and asked rhetorically: "Isn't it a plan that you and Chen Liushou secretly negotiated to lure the Wagang thieves out of the customs with a deception scheme?" Chen's remaining reinforcements are ambushed there, don't you know? ”
"Trick the enemy? This and that? Pei Renji was completely dumbfounded, and blurted out, "Who sued you?" ”
"Pei Dashuai, what's wrong with you today?" Uncle Xiao Guo was also dazed, and replied, "Of course, it was your cousin Pei Xingfang who told me." ”
"Pei Xingfang?" Bae In-ki felt like he had fallen into a dark pit, dizzy and completely confused by what was going on......
At the same time, in the Tiger Prison Pass, in the handsome hall left by Pei Renji, the Wagang generals neatly chanted the slogan of breaking through Luokoucang and capturing Liu Changgong alive, and after the cheers settled, Zhai Rang ordered loudly: "All brothers go back to their own team, always be on standby, as soon as it gets dark, we will do it immediately!" ”
At the same time that the Wagang generals sang their promises in unison, the news of Pei Renji's summoning of Qin Qiong had also been sent to Chen Yingliang, looking at Qin Qiong with a sad face, and Luo Shixin who was at a loss, Chen Yingliang thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind, and ordered: "Shixin, now you go back to your camp, organize your soldiers and horses to be ordered, and when you hear the news of my appearance, immediately take a reliable team to meet me in front of the Chinese army camp, and by the way, send someone to inform He Yanyu and ask him to do the same." Shubao, you take a reliable team, escort Jia Yanfu, and follow me to the gate of the Chinese military camp to meet Pei Renji. ”
Luo Shixin agreed, but Qin Qiong was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Stay behind, it's nothing to escort you to see Pei Dashuai, but what if something happens?" It's only ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, once the Wagang thieves detect the abnormality in our camp, they can kill outside the camp in half an hour, how can we resist when the time comes? ”
"Don't worry, the Wagang thieves don't dare to come!" Chen Fuliang shook his head and shouted again: "That's it, three dogs, help me change my clothes!" I want to stay in the eastern capital and go to see Pei Renji openly! "When you go back to your camp, organize your soldiers and horses to wait, and when you hear the news of my appearance, immediately take a reliable team to meet me in front of the Chinese army camp, and by the way, send someone to inform He Yanyu and tell him to do the same. Shubao, you take a reliable team, escort Jia Yanfu, and follow me to the gate of the Chinese military camp to meet Pei Renji. ”
Luo Shixin agreed, but Qin Qiong was shocked when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Stay behind, it's nothing to escort you to see Pei Dashuai, but what if something happens?" It's only ten miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, once the Wagang thieves detect the abnormality in our camp, they can kill outside the camp in half an hour, how can we resist when the time comes? ”
"Don't worry, the Wagang thieves don't dare to come!" Chen Fuliang shook his head and shouted again: "That's it, three dogs, help me change my clothes!" I want to stay in the eastern capital and go to see Pei Renji openly! ”
