Chapter 218: Heroes Never Use Trickery

This...

Chen Cao also came prepared, he knew exactly how Mao Wenlong died, even now, Mao Wenlong still refused to accept Yuan Chonghuan's order.

From the moment Chen Cao entered the gate, Chen Cao felt that the scene in front of him was exactly the same as that written in the history of later generations.

Until Yuan Chonghuan suddenly broke out, Chen Cao had already prepared, and dodged Yuan Chonghuan's fatal blow sideways, and the long sword slashed over his shoulder, tearing his national uniform, which frightened everyone.

Of course, with his own skills, after dodging Yuan Chonghuan's sword, Chen Cao also kicked in the air when he turned sideways, kicking Yuan Chonghuan down to the edge of the steps, and the scene became tense for a while.

Where would the two generals beside him know that Chen Cao's kung fu was so powerful, but their main purpose was to cover Yuan Chonghuan's move, at that time, Cao Wenzhao's uncle and nephew immediately drew their long knives when they saw this, and captured the two in just a few moves, Wang Xiaojie drew his knife and ran to Yuan Chonghuan's side, and when Yuan Chonghuan raised his head and was about to get up, the long knife was already on his neck.

"Bold Yuan Chonghuan, you dare to assassinate the Duke of Chaoliang in broad daylight, you are going to rebel..."

Zhao Xin burst out: "Jinyiwei, take it down..."

"Wait..."

Out of the lobby came a middle-aged man dressed as a eunuch, this person is Liu Yingkun, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, Wei Zhongxian's henchman, and also a contributor to making money in Liaodong.

"You Jinyi Wei Ke is also His Majesty's house slave, why do you talk and act so badly, Your Majesty knows?"

Now that Yuan Chonghuan and the three of them have been suppressed by weapons, Chen Cao waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, plus now dozens of right guards have come in from outside, Tang Kainian stood aside with a serious face, now whoever wants to do it has to see if their skills can be faster than the musket...

"Lord Yuan, a sudden attack is not a hero's behavior..."

Chen Cao looked at Yuan Chonghuan, who had been helped up, mockingly: "Oh yes, you Lord Yuan are not heroes..."

Yuan Chonghuan covered his stomach and relieved himself, and then said with a wry smile: "I can't kill you today, he will definitely be a big disaster for my Ming Dynasty one day..."

"Did you hear that, Lord Yuan is here today, not to discuss the military situation with this father, but to kill this father," Chen Cao stared at Liu Yingkun on the steps: "Father Liu, today are you trying to protect Governor Yuan?" ”

Liu Yingkun's face was gloomy, if Yuan Chonghuan died, how could he make money?

"It's not Libao, today our family only saw that your Duke Liang Guo suddenly started beating the governor of Liaodong, and the rest of our family didn't know anything, after today, we will definitely play the court and let the court decide..."

"Hahaha..."Chen Cao raised his head and laughed after hearing this: "You eunuchs really have a way of talking, but I like it, come here, immediately send someone from the sea to Beijing to inform the court of Yuan Chonghuan's assassination of Bengong." ”

Saying that, Chen Cao waved his hand with a smile: "Go down, Governor Yuan won't do it again." ”

"Chen Cao, what do you mean?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

Chen Cao laughed: "There is no second time for Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin, I will not kill you today, if the situation in Liaodong is more complete because of your death, then I, Chen Cao, am not a sinner for thousands of years?"

Besides, Wang Zhichen's ability is not strong enough to come to the governor of Liaodong, and the eunuch party removed Inspector Sun is for the sake of the great disaster, although you don't deal with the eunuch party, but after all, the court trusts you, so how can this prince kill you? ”

What does this mean?

Yuan Chonghuan didn't understand, he came to assassinate you and passed so lightly?

Looking at Yuan Chonghuan's expression, Chen Cao took the initiative to step forward, and under the nervousness of the crowd, Chen Cao patted Yuan Chonghuan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I, Chen Cao, compare myself to a hero, how can I do some things to steal people in private, even if you go back this time, my father will send someone to protect you, and rest assured." ”

Saying that, Chen Cao lowered his head and whispered in Yuan Chonghuan's ear: "I don't need to kill you, there are other people in the court..."

After speaking, Chen Cao laughed, let Yuan Chonghuan think alone, and then looked at the two high-headed generals behind him: "You two really have courage, since you dare to come, you must also know what the crime of assassinating Guogong is, don't worry, this duke is not to blame in the past, what are the names of the two of you, report it." ”

The two glanced at each other, and one of them was tall and black, and he gave his hand: "The last general, Heiyunlong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, has seen the Duke of Liangguo..."

The other also gave his hand: "The last general, Ning Yuan, the general Zhu Mei, has seen the Duke of Liangguo..."

"I've heard..."

Chen Cao nodded with satisfaction: "It's a pity that you fierce generals voted in the wrong place, otherwise there is still a lot of room for development." ”

This sentence was hurtful, and it made Yuan Chonghuan tear Chen Cao's heart apart.

"Everyone, take a seat in the lobby..."

The assassination ended like a farce, and even Liu Yingkun was ready to tear his face before, who knew that the victim Chen Cao sang such a play, which made him a little unacceptable.

After sitting in the lobby, Chen Cao asked people to serve tea...

"Now that the Jiannu army is outside the Daling River, Governor Yuan is willing to take great risks to come to the front line of Guangning, which is enough to prove how much attention is attached to this plan,"

Chen Cao took a sip of tea, and then said: "It's August now, if you can't complete Governor Yuan's strategy of pacifying Liao before November, the seven years of the Apocalypse will be in vain, and there will be only 11 million taels of silver left." ”

Liu Yingkun knew this amount, but the silver that Yuan Chonghuan actually received was only six million taels, of which after removing the military expenses of 100,000 people, it would be divided by Liu Yingkun and others who came to take some of the bribes, and he actually couldn't get a few dollars.

Of course, he also saw Liu Yingkun's unchanged appearance clearly, and he was sure that this time the imperial court had scraped a lot of oil and water on Chen Cao's body.

"It's a pity that Duke Liangguo was defeated by the Tartars in the Shuangtaizi River," Yuan Chonghuan sneered, and he also directly ignored the previous matter: "Otherwise, the lower officials would not have been counted and hung in front of His Majesty." ”

Chen Cao laughed, and then said: "Governor Yuan has been in Liaodong for a long time, and when he knows Jiannu's ability, even your 100,000 troops are shrinking along the Jinzhou line and not attacking, and my Dingwu army is not yet full of more than 30,000 people, and it is already considered to have done his best to defeat the whole army without being defeated by Jiannu in the first battle;

Besides, the general will be outside, the king's order is not affected, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, this duke can't let the only strength of his subordinates be wiped out by Jiannu in a battle, even if he dies, then he has to break off their two teeth, a senseless sacrifice, this duke doesn't do it..."

"Hehe," Liu Yingkun covered his mouth and smiled, and then said coldly: "What Liang Guogong said is much better than what he does." ”

"Presumptuous," Zhao Xin scolded: "You eunuch, dare to make fun of the Lord of the Dynasty, what is your identity?" ”

Liu Yingkun was not afraid of Zhao Xin, so he scolded angrily and slapped the table: "Zhao Xin, don't forget your identity, dare to talk to our family like this." ”

"Hey..."

Chen Cao interrupted the two who were about to explode, and then stared at Liu Yingkun and said: "Gonggong Liu, you supervise the army in Liaodong, but the main authority is on the side of Governor Yuan. ”

Being so topped by Chen Cao, Liu Yingkun suddenly felt that he was speechless, and Yuan Chonghuan took over the conversation to relieve him of the siege: "Duke Liangguo, although you lead the southern army to aid Liao, but the lower official is now the governor of Liaodong, and has the right to transfer your soldiers and horses.

Please also ask Liang Guogong to give a clear letter, how does Liang Guogong do the matter of Liaodong? ”

"Wait..."

"Wait?" Yuan Chonghuan couldn't afford to wait: "Now that tens of thousands of Tartars are eyeing beyond the Daling River, Liang Guogong, if you say a word of heart, if the Tartar cavalry can cross the Guangning defense line, you have to ask Liang Guogong what he thinks." ”

Liu Yingkun also continued: "The Panshan Post and Luyang Post in the Guangning defense line are the places to rush, but after the arrival of the army of Liang Guogong, all the troops were actually reduced, Xiong Tingbi also knew that the army was stationed in Luyang as the key point, and now Liang Guogong You have collected all the soldiers and horses of the surrounding forts and abandoned the dangerous place, is there no intention to deliberately indulge the enemy in depth?" ”

"Hey..."Chen Cao hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head: "Gonggong Liu, don't buckle my big hat, you entered the city from the north gate along the Great Wall, you should go to the east gate to see, not far from the city is the Jiannu cavalry, in order to prevent the army of this duke from entering and leaving, they are watching me all day long Guangning City can't be opened, you also know, the Tartars are all cavalry, I can't run..."

Yuan Chonghuan frowned: "Duke Liang Guo, your subordinates are also cavalry..."

"Cavalry warfare is not the growth of my Dingwu army, the training of my Dingwu army is mainly to defend the city, and field warfare is secondary..."

"Duke Liangguo, there are 70,000 soldiers and horses under your command..."

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan's words fell, Chen Cao reached out and touched his nose: "The military expenses are all given to you, how can you fight without money..."

"Liang Guogong, what you mean, the lower official understands, you are just here to go through the motions of the trip to Liaodong," Yuan Chonghuan stood up and arched his hand towards Chen Cao disdainfully: "The lower official has taken his leave, and the lower official of today's meeting will definitely report to the Holy Lord, Liang Guogong, you still have to do it yourself..."

"Wang Xiaojie, send one to Governor Yuan..."

After Yuan Chonghuan and his entourage rode away, Wang Xiaojie walked into the yamen and bowed his hand to Chen Cao: "Grandpa, Governor Yuan asked the last general if Grandpa wanted to rebel." ”

"And what did you say?"

"The last general asked him why he framed his grandfather..."

Chen Cao stood on the steps and laughed: "I, Chen Cao, am loyal to the Ming Dynasty, how can I do the act of rebellion, besides, didn't I lead the army to block the front line?" Even if I take it to the court to talk about things, my Chen Cao is also doing it step by step, who will pick my thorn? ”

"What about Jiannu?"

"Pass the order, our troops will not move, let them move, and also, the agreement reached with them will be arranged for them as soon as possible, I am a businessman who abides by credibility."
