Regardless of the heart and character, in terms of appearance alone, our Mrs. Chen Xiaozheng is definitely able to go to the hall and go to the kitchen. She has to look good, she has to have a good manner, and she will definitely turn heads when she walks on the street. It can also save the matchmaker a lot of saliva. Wang Xueji was once again fooled by her unscrupulous cousin, and preconceivedly imagined Chen Yingliang as Zhu Bajie's second uncle, and suddenly discovered this sharp contrast. No matter how free and easy Wang Xueji's character is, it is inevitable that she will be like a normal girl. A feeling of shyness—after all, Wang Xueji is still a mixed-race woman who grew up in the Chinese cultural circle, unlike barbarian women who don't know what shame is at all.
Embarrassed, when Wang Xuanying was negotiating with Chen Yingliang, Wang Xueji also sat upright for a long time in an unprecedented dignified manner, she did not interrupt as usual, but listened to Chen Yingliang's negotiating with her elder brother in an orderly manner, and occasionally peeked at Chen Yingliang . At the same time, it was also at this time that Wang Xueji knew why the famous Chen Yingliang's archery skills were so ridiculously poor. It turned out that Chen Yingliang had just recovered from a serious illness and his hands and feet were weak, so he performed at an ultra-low level-although everyone in the know knew that Chen Yingliang was completely out of control. It was nonsense, but Wang Xueji was willing to believe Chen Yingliang's nonsense.
Among Wang Shichong's large family of nephews dressed like beasts, Wang Xuanying is definitely the most kind one. Hearing that Chen Yingliang's condition has improved, Wang Xuanying not only did not sarcastically ask why Chen Yingliang, who was dying of illness a few days ago, was so well. Quickly, he said happily: "Uncle's condition has improved. It is really a blessing for the imperial court and the people. Forgive me for my nephew's bold question. Now that my uncle's condition has improved, I don't know when my uncle will be able to send troops to the south to help our army attack Du Fuwei traitor?"
"Nephew, I have to wait for a while." Chen Yingliang hastily evaded, and said nonsense: "When you were on the shore of Surabaya just now, nephew, you saw it with your own eyes. In such a short distance, I even connected a green dog to the ground. Zhuang Du can't shoot, because his arms are weak, and even a light bow with a stone is difficult to draw, in my current situation, how can I mount a horse to kill the enemy and lead the army to charge?"
After all, Chen Yingliang coughed a few times in a decent manner, and Yuan Tiangang next to him chimed in and said, "My lord, to tell you the truth, in fact, our Fushi Chen forced himself to go out of the camp today to relax. Originally, the disease doctor Afraid that Chen's condition would relapse, we, Chen, were not allowed to go out of the tent. It was because Chen was bored in the military tent for too long, and insisted on going out of the camp behind our backs, and he would continue to take medicine for a while. "
Wang Xuanying was greatly disappointed, and then he cheered up quickly, bowed his hands to Chen Yingliang and said, "Uncle, since your illness has not fully recovered, my nephew doesn't dare to force you, uncle can just rest assured and take care of you. But this time, my nephew represents My father came to visit my uncle, and I have one more request, so I beg my uncle to agree."
"Nephew, please tell me that as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Chen Yingliang said very generously.
"Uncle, don't worry, for you, this matter is just a matter of little effort." Wang Xuanying cupped his hands and thanked him, and then he explained in detail why he came to ask Chen Yingliang to disrupt the Du Li coalition army with a divorce plan. He came to buy Li Zitong's gold, silver and jewelry, and said: "There is one more thing, please rest assured, my father knows that Li Zitong is a villain. If he really recruits him, it may be difficult for my uncle to deal with it. If you want, my father can take action to solve this trouble for you, uncle, and it will never hurt uncle's reputation of loving the people like a son."
When Chen Yingliang was coughing and thinking about it, Wang Xueji knew that what was supposed to come had finally come, and her heart couldn't help beating in her chest, while Wang Xuanying hurriedly winked at her younger sister like killing a chicken and wiping her neck, signaling her to follow the plan. To do things, Wang Xueji asked Wang Xueji to show her filial piety on the pretext of Chen Yingliang's illness, and took the initiative to serve Chen Yingliang's food, soup and medicine. Wang Xueji understood what her brother meant, her pink face turned red, she hesitated and dared not speak.
"For Daddy's sake, I'm going all out! Anyway, this person is not as annoying as the mynah said!" After hanging her head and hesitating for a long time, Wang Xueji finally made up her mind...
"Okay, I promise."
Shi Potian's shocking voice came suddenly, startled Wang Xuanying and Wang Xueji raised their heads together, but saw Chen Yingliang coughing and said: "Since it is for the purpose of suppressing the rebellion, then I will try my best, but I have a word first, I am not sure if it will work or not. Yes, if the big thief Li Zitong is really recruited to surrender after the incident, then you have to solve this problem for me. Miao Haichao committed a crime, so I can ask for a pardon for him, but this Li Zitong is not good. His crimes are too many, even if it is me, I am not sure to seek forgiveness for him in front of the Holy One."
Wang Xuanying was overjoyed, and quickly agreed without a word, and thanked Chen Yingliang again and again. Wang Xueji was relieved, but also faintly disappointed, and secretly said: "Fool, if you agree later, you may be able to get me." Thinking of Here, Wang Xueji couldn't help feeling a little shy again.
As we all know, our captain Chen is a good captain who keeps his word. He promised the brothers and sisters of the Wang family and acted immediately. He asked Yuan Tiangang to write a letter to recruit Li Zitong in person, and then signed his reputable name. , personally affixed the great seal of the twelve counties to arrest the deputy envoy, and asked Yuan Tiangang to arrange a reliable courier to carry gifts and letters to the enemy camp to deliver the letter. Yuan Tiangang took the order and went away with understanding. Then Chen Yingliang said to the brothers and sisters Wang Xuanying: "Nephew, niece, it's getting late, it's not that I don't want to keep you, but because my niece is a girl, it's inconvenient to live in this barracks full of men. How about it, I sent Someone sent you to rest in the posthouse in Suyu city, what do you think?"
"Uncle, please take care of me, it's all up to my uncle's arrangements." Wang Xuanying agreed without hesitation, while Wang Xueji was even more disappointed, but she had no choice but to go out of the camp with Wang Xuanying and the envoy arranged by Chen Yingliang.
As soon as the brothers and sisters of the Wang family left, Yuan Tiangang, who had learned more and more badly, slipped back into the tent of the Chinese army again, and handed the letter back to Chen Yingliang with a smile. Chen Yingliang smiled, took the letter and went straight to it. On the candlelight, it was lit and burned. Yuan Tiangang, who wrote the letter himself, could not help but feel that Chen Yingliang wasted his own labor, so he smiled and said, "Why didn't the deputy stay? It will come in handy.”
The flames jumped, making Chen Yingliang's handsome face hideous, and said with a smile: "No need, Wang Shichong's so-called alienation plan is actually to use my good reputation to bribe Li Zitong. Although there is hope, it may not necessarily succeed. When the time comes, I will naturally have a more clever and sure strategy to deal with Du Fuwei and Li Zitong."
Yuan Tiangang quickly flattered him, praised Chen Yingliang for his scheming, and then said with a cautious and sinister smile: "Deputy envoy, I never thought of such a good opportunity, and you are willing to let it go. I am really admirable."
"What do you mean by that? Why can't I understand?" Chen Yingliang was rarely confused.
"Deputy envoy, are you pretending to be confused or are you really stupid?" Yuan Tiangang asked in amazement, and then said: "Wang Shichong sent his son to beg you to come forward to bribe Li Zitong, why did he also send his beautiful daughter? Such a simple question. Deputy envoy you are so smart and still don’t understand?”
"You mean, Wang Shichong wants his daughter to use beauty tricks on me?" Chen Yingliang was a little stunned, and said, "Wang Shichong only has such a daughter, so he is willing?"
"What is he reluctant to do?" Yuan Tiangang asked suspiciously, and then said: "Deputy Chen, you must have heard of the customs of the barbarians, right? The barbarians in the Western Regions are very open about this aspect, and girls usually When you are eleven or twelve years old, you can find a man to have sex with, and your parents will never interfere. Even if you have children, you will raise them as younger brothers and sisters, and then you can still get married and marry. The married Huren will never pursue the woman's past. His daughter came here to beg you, the implication is already obvious, deputy envoy, you really don't know?"
Chen Yingliang was even more stunned. It wasn't until the letter burned into his hand that Chen Yingliang jumped up, threw the letter away, and shouted loudly: "Damn it! It turned out to be a beauty trick! If I had known it was a beauty trick, I should have followed the trick!" What a pity! What a pity!"
…
When Chen Yingliang yelled in Suyu that it was a pity that he regretted not following his plan, Wei Zheng forged the letter himself, and it was successfully sent to the Huaishui battlefield, and then it was quickly sent to Du Fuwei. After seeing this letter, Du Fuwei, who had suffered similar losses before, became furious immediately. He immediately summoned Fu Gong Er, Li Zitong, Mao Wenshen and other high-level rebels to present Wang Shichong's personal letter in public and discuss how to deal with it. Policy.
After Miao Haichao's deeds, when he saw Wang Shichong instigating Chen Yingliang to follow the same pattern and attack Li Zitong, Fu Gong Er could not help but yell at him even though he had a calmer personality. Cook, also suddenly became furious, and scolded Wang Shichong for being human-faced and beast-hearted, not as good as a beast, and Liu Yuanjin wanted to bully himself even if Liu Yuanjin was bullied. Only the resourceful Mao Wenshen remained calm and read the hypocritical letter over and over again, planning not to comment. Suddenly, Mao Wenshen remembered another important event, and hurriedly said: "King Du, students remember that Wang Shichong once sent someone to A letter of surrender was sent, is that letter still there? Please find it and let the students compare the handwriting."
"Are you worried that the letter is forged?" Du Fuwei was surprised.
"It's possible." Mao Wenshen nodded, and said: "Chen Yingliang is really treacherous, we have to prevent him from intentionally provoking us and letting us fall into his trap."
Feeling that Mao Wenshen's words were reasonable, and knowing that his old opponent Chen Yingliang was really cunning, Du Fuwei did not hesitate, and immediately asked Fu Gong Er to find the letter to compare the handwriting. Because of the barbarians in the Western Regions, Wang Shichong, who is the most educated in his family, has the habit of writing confidential letters by himself, so not only the previous letter was signed by Wang Shichong, but the entire letter was written by Wang Shichong himself. After comparing the handwriting, Du Fuwei, Fu Gong Er and Li Zitong and other big thieves immediately cursed again.
Mao Wenshen was unwilling to give up and carefully compared the handwriting and seals to find traces of imitation and forgery, but the biting dog did not bark. Although Wei Zheng, a great writer and philosopher in the early Tang Dynasty, had never done the immorality of forging other people's letters in history It is rare to make a forgery of Wang Shichong's letter, but the imitated handwriting is not something that a military strategist like Mao Wenshen can see. At the same time, Yuan Tiangang, a great scientist who can even make astronomical instruments, forged a small seal with his own hands. The degree of imitation was beyond Mao Wenshen's imagination, so after reading it over and over for a long time, coupled with the reasonable content of the letter, Mao Wenshen still came to the wrong conclusion that this letter was actually written by Wang Shichong himself.
Even Mao Wenshen, who is known as Sai Kongming, believes that the letter is not fake, let alone Du Fuwei, Fu Gonger Er and Li Zitong, who are very educated. They scolded the eighteen generations of Wang Shichong's ancestors After repeating it, Du Fuwei immediately asked Mao Wenshen about the countermeasures. Mao Wenshen hesitated for a long time before handing over his hands and said, "Master Du, of course there are countermeasures, but you definitely don't like to hear them. Maybe you will blame the students for being uneasy. With good intentions, there is malice."
"It's okay, just tell me, I won't blame you if I make a mistake." Du Fuwei said impatiently.
"Then the student will tell the truth." Mao Wenshen said calmly: "Please stop saving your strength, King Du. You must dispatch the elite of the army to fight a decisive battle with Wang Shichong."
Du Fuwei's face turned gloomy, but Mao Wenshen did not show any fear, he just said calmly: "King Du, the students know that you are afraid that the team will suffer heavy casualties, and also that you will not be able to seek revenge from Chen Yingliang after being severely injured, but our current choice is no longer If there are too many, we have almost no chance of winning except to fight to the death as soon as possible. And the students can tell you clearly that the longer this Huai Shui war drags on, the worse it will be for us."
"The longer the time, the worse it will be for us? Mr. Mao, please try to say it." Fu Gong Er said in a deep voice.
"It's very simple, we have too many internal problems." Mao Wenshen said unceremoniously: "There is no two suns, no two masters in the country. Although our coalition forces have the upper hand, there are Du Dawang and Li Dawang in the team." The two leaders can only discuss and act in case of problems. Although they still have a tacit understanding with each other, once time goes by, even if you, King Du, and King Li can continue to get along friendly, there will always be conflicts between the soldiers of our two armies. Once these contradictions expand, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"In addition to the problem of the relationship between the two armies, we have more other problems." Mao Wenshen said again: "First of all, in terms of food and grass, we still have food and grass available because the autumn harvest has just ended and the folks have enough food. We have accumulated some food and grass, so we have the capital to fight the war of attrition with Wang Shichong, but these food and grass will be used up one day, so we must make a quick decision to end the war before this hidden danger breaks out. Second is the backup. Wang Shichong is in Jiangdu There are more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are still more than 10,000 stationed in the rear, and Chen Yingliang's more than 5,000 fresh troops are also watching from hundreds of miles away. Once these troops come to reinforce, our military advantage will be completely wiped out."
"More importantly!" Mao Wenshen suddenly emphasized his tone, and said seriously: "In the current situation, we don't have much time to fight Wang Shichong to the death! Wang Shichong has been fighting and building fortifications these days. I want to stabilize my position first, then confront us and consume it, and then launch a counterattack after our internal hidden dangers erupt. If it weren't for our insistence on fighting day by day these days, and the fact that the surrounding trees have been cut down, Wang Shichong's strong camp Perhaps it has already been settled, and we will not be able to do a decisive battle with him."
"If you don't believe me, Brother Du and Wang Fu, you can go to the official army camp to have a look." Mao Wenshen pointed to Wang Shichong's camp in the south and said, "It's almost two o'clock now, and the official army camp is still lit. Mingming, the officers and soldiers are also digging trenches and building walls desperately. What are they trying to do? This is trying to use the fortification advantages of the camp to offset our military strength, and then use their food and grass backup advantages to consume us alive! We If the old thief Wang Shichong succeeds, then perhaps the 20,000 officers and men of the old thief Wang Shichong can kill us without the help of the little thief Chen Yingliang!"
When Mao Wenshen was analyzing the military situation, Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Er never said a word, and they had been listening attentively. After Mao Wenshen finished talking, Du Fuwei thought for a long time before turning to Li Zitong. He said, "Brother Li, what do you think?"
"It's up to Brother Fuwei to decide, I'll listen to you." Li Zitong replied generously.
"Then let's stop hiding our secrets!" Du Fuwei said viciously: "I know that your central army has 2,000 armored elite soldiers who have never been used, and my 5,000 top recruits have never been used, and you must know it too. , Let’s not talk about the past, tonight we will be ready for a decisive battle, and tomorrow morning we will send out troops together, each with the best of the best, and fight him to the death with Wang Shichong, and we will never withdraw our troops unless we break Wang Shichong’s camp!”
"Let's do it like this!" Li Zitong agreed, and said, "But brother Fu Wei, I have something to say first, you know that I only have fifteen thousand troops in my hand, and the capital is insufficient, so tomorrow I can only be in charge of the flank battlefield."
"Okay, you are in charge of the flank battlefield!" Du Fuwei said decisively: "I am in charge of the front, supporting Wang Shichong's main force. Whenever there is a chance, you will give me all your strength to enter Wang Shichong's camp!"
"Of course." Li Zitong nodded in agreement, and then took a sneak peek at Mao Wenshen, his eyes were full of smiles and approval, but Mao Wenshen remained calm, his expression remained calm.
It was the second watch of the night, and Wang Shichong, who was sleeping in the camp, suddenly felt palpitations, and suddenly woke up from the dream. An ominous feeling enveloped his whole body. Under the anxiety, Wang Shichong got up with his clothes on, and went out of the tent to check the situation, but he did not find any enemies There were signs of a night attack, only the lights in front of the self-barracks were brightly lit, and the exhausted self-army soldiers were still building the fortifications overnight. After confirming that there was no abnormal movement, Wang Shichong laughed secretly at himself. Suddenly, his eyes glanced at the direction of the main camp of the bandit army, and Wang Shichong immediately stopped and took a closer look.
The sky in the north was pitch black. From this position, he couldn’t even see the outline of the bandit camp ten miles away. But looking in the direction of the bandit camp, Wang Shichong’s anxiety and throbbing became more and more intense, because Wang Shichong seemed to be I saw that a murderous aura had risen in the bandit camp, and that rainbow-like fighting spirit seemed to have condensed into clouds above the bandit camp, covering half of the sky.
"No way, is there going to be an extremely cruel and bloody battle?" Wang Shichong suddenly had this terrible idea, then shook his head quickly, and comforted himself softly: "No, definitely not, Du Fuwei and Li Zitong These thieves are obviously saving their strength and don't want to fight me to the end. I have no grievances with them, and they will not be determined to fight me to the death. Hold on for a few more days, and when the camp fortifications are completed, I will immediately Invincible."
While comforting himself, Wang Shichong's ominous premonition in his heart became more and more intense, and the feeling of uneasiness shrouded his whole body more and more.
