In Yangzhou, a group of pirates burned and looted everywhere, making the officers and soldiers helpless, and the people did not dare to go out day and night.

Even an important Yangzhou town like Guangling was attacked by this group of pirates and was in danger.

"Haha, boss, this Yangzhou is known as the richest in the world, and it really deserves its reputation."

A pirate strode into the camp and grinned at a white-faced scholar sitting on the tent.

The white-faced scholar pursed his lips when he heard this: "In Guangling City, the wealth is richer than the whole Yangzhou combined, there is the nest of Zhao Sui, the king of Guangling, there are countless beauties with gold and silver, as long as you work hard, you can take Guangling, and the rich women in it are up to you to choose." ”

"Boss, what you said is true?"

The pirate minions were a little unconvinced.

The white-faced scholar smiled lightly: "When did I, Bai Wenle, deceive my brother?" ”

The pirates were overjoyed, smiled and left.

That's right, this group of pirates who attacked Guangling from the sea was the pirate leader Bai Wenle who surrendered when Wang Xiaolai escorted Suizhu to Silla.

For more than a year, Bai Wenle has been waiting for news from Wang Xiaolai at sea, until more than a month ago, that is, four months after Zhao Sui's rebellion, a letter was delivered to him, and the letter only had two words, help.

Bai Wenle was extremely excited when he saw the letter, and his heart finally waited for the opportunity, so he didn't even hesitate, took all his subordinates, maintained contact with Wang Xiaolai, and followed Wang Xiaolai's orders, and launched an attack on Yangzhou more than ten days ago.

In Wang Xiaolai's words, I don't care how you make a fuss, anyway, the bigger the movement, the better, it's best to attract Zhao Suineng back, that's enough.

Bai Wenle also ran through Wang Xiaolai's entrustment, which turned the river and the sea upside down, stirring up Yangzhou is restless, of course, it also successfully attracted Zhao Sui's attention, so that Zhao Sui had to lead the whole army back to Yangzhou.

However, in this way, it is equivalent to saying that even if Zhao Sui gave up the entire Yuzhou front, he was chased and killed by Wang Xiaolai like a duck for thousands of miles, and his troops and horses suffered heavy losses, including Dong'e Wang, who was one of the only five remaining anti-kings, was captured alive by Wang Xiaolai.

When Zhao Sui rushed back to Guangling desperately, Bai Wenle was ready again, and slipped away at the right time, which made Zhao Sui angry enough.

Nothing was gained, and previous efforts were wasted.

King Zhao and King Yan both felt that there was no chance of winning any longer, so they quietly left Zhao Sui with the team and returned to their fiefdom.

Wang Xiaolai, who led the army into Yangzhou, didn't care about the two of them, anyway, it was just two inconsequential little miscellaneous fish, a big meal, or Zhao Sui.

The first battle in Yangzhou was Shouchun.

Shouchun City can be said to be the gateway to Zhao Sui's base camp, if you want to lay it, it is far from so easy, but with Bai Wenle's help, it will be different.

When Zhao Sui returned, Bai Wenle did not choose to escape back from the sea, but broke into pieces, and shoehorned into many people in Shouchun.

At this time, Zhao Sui was not calm, he also felt that his defeat was getting closer and closer, and unwillingly, Zhao Sui went out and grabbed Zhuang Ding to fill the army, hoping to defeat Wang Xiaolai with the advantage of numbers.

When the news reached Wang Xiaolai, there was a cheering voice in the barracks.

···

"It seems that this Zhao Sui has nothing to do, otherwise, he would not even be pulled into the battlefield by children, it seems that it will be a few days since he broke the enemy."

Kim Shichang listened to the secret report sent by the spies.

Wang Xiaolai snorted: "There is a saying in my hometown, that is, if you want you to perish, you must first make you crazy, obviously, Zhao Sui has already started, Yangzhou is his hometown, and it is his backing." But he still dares to mess around so much in his hometown, I don't understand that he is pushing the people of Yangzhou away from his side. ”

"Haha, sir, don't you still say it, aren't they all forced by you?" Shen Xiping laughed.

Wang Xiaolai was extremely modest: "How can it be, it all depends on the concerted efforts of everyone to get to where we are now." ”

seemed to be a little surprised by Wang Xiaolai's attitude, everyone looked back at him, looked at him embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "Okay, since you said yes, that's it." ”

"Marshal, a troop of soldiers and horses appeared outside the city, and the leader claimed to be Bai Wenle."

Just then, a spy trotted in and clenched his fists.

Wang Xiaolai hissed and hurriedly stood up: "Quick, please." ”

As the words fell, after a while, Bai Wenle was led in, and after seeing Wang Xiaolai, he pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, and bowed his head.

"Boss Bai, please get up, please get up." Wang Xiaolai hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, and at the same time turned back to everyone and introduced: "Everyone, let me introduce you, this is the Bai Wenle Bai Boss I mentioned to you earlier." ”

Jin Shichang and the others all bowed their hands, and Bai Wenle also hurried to be polite.

Only Shen Xiping, the rammer, came up and patted Bai Wenle's shoulder: "Old Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Bai Wenle nodded modestly and said, "General Shen, don't come unharmed." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked at the two of them with a smile, personally led Bai Wenle to the left hand side and sat down, and then said: "Seriously, if you don't have Boss Bai this time, I don't know how to enter Yangzhou, it's another tug-of-war." This time, if Sui Yang wins the battle against Zhao Sui, you, Boss Bai, will be the greatest hero, and Your Majesty's side will inevitably be praised. ”

Bai Wenle stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Marshal's words are serious, although he is a pirate, he still does not forget that he is the people of Suiyang, as the so-called national difficulties and the people are responsible, what he does in the lower part is just an internal matter." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled.

"Anyway, we are all our own people, come, Boss Bai, come over together, let's see how to deal with Zhao Sui next." Wang Xiaolai said.

Bai Wenle swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "That marshal, just call my name." ”

Wang Xiaolai looked back at him.

Bai Wenle lowered his head, in fact, he also had his own plans in his heart, if Wang Xiaolai kept calling Boss Bai or something, he would always feel a little rusty, if he called his name, it would be easier to get along with Shen Xiping and Jin Shichang.

After all, everyone here at present, after calming down Zhao Sui, after returning to Beijing, is destined to be the pillars of the DPRK and China, and it is not wrong to get closer to them.

also saw what Bai Wenle was thinking, Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Cheng, then I will call you Wenle." ”

Bai Wenle was busy clenching his fists.

Wang Xiaolai also smiled, led everyone to the sand table, looked at the situation in Yangzhou, and said: "Yangzhou's gateway Shouchun has been knocked out by us, presumably Zhao Sui is already restless, at present, he only has two countermeasures to deal with us, the first is to shrink out, and wait for us to enter his Guangling capital little by little, and the second is to fight us back with a wave of head-on, relying on the geographical advantage." ”

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he looked around at everyone.

Among the people, except for Bai Wenle, they all nodded thoughtfully.

"Bunraku, do you have any ideas?" Looking at Bai Wenle's performance, Wang Xiaolai asked him.

When Wang Xiaolai asked, everyone turned their heads to look at him.

Bai Wenle hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled: "It's okay, we are not a dictatorship, if you have an opinion, you don't have to hide it." ”

Bai Wenle hesitated: "Since this is the case, then I will talk about it below." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded, and at the same time picked up the tea from the side and drank it.

"Based on my research on Zhao Sui, I think he is likely to choose the third path."

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "The third one? ”

Bai Wenle nodded: "Yes, the third one." ”

Wang Xiaolai was interested: "Talk about it carefully." ”

Bai Wenle said: "That is to send an assassin to assassinate you, the marshal." ”

When the words fell, everyone was stunned at first, and then they all laughed.

As soon as Wang Xiaolai glared, they all closed their mouths.

Wang Xiao came to see Bai Wenle and said, "Why do you think so?" ”

"Although I have always been at sea, I also know a little about what has happened in Sui Yang these days. That Zhao Sui first used assassins to plot against Zhou Jinglian, so that Feng Fan assassinated Lu Houye, and then you were the marshal some time ago. It can be said that he is used to using such indiscriminate methods, who can guarantee that he will not have a fourth time? ”
