Cheng Yulian is not a person who follows the rules.

Although he took the exam to show his fame, in his thirty-two years of life, he spent a lot of time reading miscellaneous books.

He likes to read historical records, Hanshu and other history books.

Looking at history can know the rise and fall.

It's much better than just holding on to the Confucian classics and reading to the death. He was also very happy to hear that Wu Nian had founded Guozijian in Yingqing Mansion, and that the students were also studying history books.

And among the many historical figures. Ban Chao threw his pen from Rong, pacified the Western Regions, and sealed the Yuanhou because of his military exploits. is his favorite story.

Now, it seems that he also has the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors and do something meaningful and exciting.

Cheng Yulian's eyes flickered for a long time, and gradually regained his calm. He returned to the porch and said to the house slave standing under the porch, "Go and invite Mr. Niu to come to the study." ”

"Yes." The house slave answered, bent down and left.

Cheng Yulian put away the oil-paper umbrella and entered the study along the corridor.

The study room is full of books, most of which are history books and military books. Cheng Yulian put the oil-paper umbrella at the door of the room, came to the bookcase, and took out "The Art of War", but did not open it to watch, just put it in his hand and played.

"Sir. You come to me. ”

After a while, a middle-aged man with an ugly face, a tall figure, wearing a long robe, dressed as a scholar, walked in.

"Sit." Cheng Yulian invited him to sit down, and he also came to the Taishi chair behind the desk and sat down, looking up at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man's name was Niu Bian, who claimed to be from Huanglongfu, and his family was killed by the Mengyuan people and wandered to Yangwu County. Half a year ago, I was so hungry and cold that I almost starved to death.

Cheng Yulian helped Niu Bian, and unexpectedly found that Niu Bian's knowledge was good, so he asked Mr. Xixi.

In private, the two talked about everything. Cheng Yulian is a hot-blooded person, Niu Bian was ruined by the Meng Yuan people, and the conversation between the two was often about discussing how to get rid of the Meng Yuan people.

"Sir. Now the general has taken advantage of Xingshi Mountain and has taken the lead. Moreover, there are many soldiers and horses, and there are 50,000 households. It's just that the Meng Yuan people occupy the city, and I'm afraid it's not easy for him to start. I want to contact the three major households of Yangwu, make an internal response, and open the city gate for the general, what do you think? ”

Cheng Yulian's eyes are as bright as stars, and he has both the determination to go out and the courage not to be afraid of death.

"If you do, sir. Then I think that soon, we will be dragged by Meng Yuan to the vegetable market to behead and become the chicken that kills chickens and makes an example of monkeys. ”

Niu Chang did not hesitate, shook his head and said.

"Why?" Cheng Yulian frowned and asked.

"Although General Fuhan is very strong now, the Mengyuan people are not weak. There were four commanders in the city. ”

"They also monitored three major households. The three major households are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect themselves. Sir, go up and consult with them. Isn't it a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return? ”

Niu Chang's voice was very majestic, his words were clear, and his ugly face showed a dignified look.

Cheng Yulian became decadent all of a sudden, how could he not know this? It's just a fluke. With the strength of his family, it is impossible to help Wu Nian open the city gate.

It is only possible to contact the three major households to work together.

"So why don't we do anything but watch? Watching the general storm the city, are the soldiers killed and wounded? Cheng Yulian stood up, holding his hands on his waist, walking back and forth anxiously.

"Nope. As long as the master is determined, we can still do something. ”

Niu Chang shook his head, a creepy smile on his ugly face.

"How?" Cheng Yulian's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask.

In this world, the most aggrieved thing is powerlessness. At this critical moment, as long as he can help, he can do anything.

"Set fire." Niu Chang put away his smile and gently spit out two words. Then, his own plan was given.

"Sir, prepare firewood, spirits, cloth, etc. Send someone to contact General Fuhan. As soon as the general's army reaches the city, you set fire to your own house, and then set fire to the house next door. ”

"It's not going to work. It's not that I feel sorry for my house. It's just a big battle, even at night, there will be no fewer soldiers patrolling the streets of Mengyuan soldiers. ”

"Even if I burned my own house, they would kill it quickly, and they would extinguish the fire. There will be no impact. ”

Cheng Yulian just thought about it for a moment, then waved his hand, feeling that this plan was unreliable.

"So it depends on luck." Niu Chang did not deny Cheng Yulian's words, and said lightly.

"Luck?" Cheng Yulian was stunned for a moment.

"That's right. Sir, you can gamble. If you set it on fire, there are soldiers and horses of General Fuhan outside. Other big households and ordinary people, will anyone set fire to keep up? ”

"If a fire burns vigorously. Meng Yuan people wanted to put out the fire, but they couldn't save it. Coupled with the fact that the general's men and horses were outside the city, they would probably retreat immediately. ”

"We'll help the general get the city."

The cow said calmly.

His ugly appearance, coupled with his calm face at this moment, made Cheng Yulian feel more and more creepy.

Good luck.

It's a gamble.

If no one keeps up with the fire, he's dead.

But.

Do big things, don't spare your life.

In life, there will always be such a time to fight for your life. One step further is a hero, and one step back is a mortal.

"I've been reading poetry since I was a child, and I've always longed for this opportunity. I immediately sent my family out of the city, and then contacted the general. Set this one on fire. ”

Cheng Yulian didn't hesitate for too long, his eyes flickered, and his body was filled with the heroic aura of knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and leaning towards the tiger mountains, and said in a deep voice.

"Good. Worthy of the master. Niu Yan smiled ugly and nodded.

"Mr. Niu. Thank you. If I succeed, wait for the general to capture Quang Duong Province. I will pay for you to build a house, buy a land, and settle down in this county. ”

Cheng Yulian raised his head and said gratefully.

We are like-minded comrades, and we share weal and beyond. Niu Chang also helped him come up with such an idea.

Forget it if you're dead, it's done. He won't treat the cow badly.

"Nope. You don't have to thank me, sir. I don't need any farmhouse either. As long as things go well. Niu Yan shook his head slightly, and the essence in his eyes flashed.

"Nope. Thank you again. Cheng Yulian waved his hand and insisted.

Cheng Yulian acted according to Niu Bian's plan, first moved his family members outside the city one after another, and then sent his henchmen to contact Wu Nian.

In Yangwu County, the three major households of the Han people are the top priority, and the Mengyuan people are the focus of attention.

Cheng Yulian's goal was small, and it did not attract the attention of the Mengyuan people, and the plan went very smoothly.

The progress on Wu Nian's side is also very smooth.
