Who is the most daring to do something like beheading and losing his head

The answer is that the Leng people are the most courageous, and they finalized the idea of opening the city to welcome the Sui army into the city. The three lords, Dugu Huai'en, Li Yuan's first cousin, Yuan Qi, the grandson of the Duke of Shunyang, and Li Yangcheng, the youngest son of the Duke of Zhenxiang, They immediately discussed how to proceed, and quickly came up with a specific plan - contacting the Sui army to make an appointment, Yuan Qi and Li Yangcheng organized their own servants, and joined forces with Dugu Huai'en's servants and the servants of the Daxing County Government to kill The city gate guards opened the city gate to welcome the Sui army into the city, and went to Chen Sangliang to receive the reward!

It has to be said that this is a very genius plan, at least very efficient. In just one sentence, it introduced the steps of the whole plan, and even considered who to ask for the reward. The execution was also very efficient. On the night of the 16th, Dugu Huai'en personally appeared in the identity of Da Xing Ling, and sent Yuan Qi, who volunteered to act as a messenger, out of the city to contact Chen Sangliang.

Dugu Huai'en's method of sending Yuan Qi out of the city is equally wonderful. The original ninety-mile-long Daxing City Wall only needs to find a relatively dark place, avoid the defenders on the city or directly buy the defenders, and put Yuan Qi down the city with a rope That's fine—almost all the representatives of the rich and powerful families in the city use this method to get out of the city. But Dugu Huai'en thought it was too troublesome to do so, and the pampered Yuan Qi didn't want to walk to the Sui army's camp tiredly, so the two masters simply led two entourages each at the first ten o'clock, and came swaggeringly on horseback Going to the Yanhua Gate, one of the three gates of Daxing East, which is the most closely guarded by the rebels, he directly ordered the rebel soldiers to open the gate and let Yuanqi out of the city.

Of course, the gate officer of Yanhua Gate would not open the gate, saying that unless he saw a written order from Li Er or Li Jiancheng, or the Yanhua Gate guard Wei Yijie personally ordered, otherwise the gate would never be opened in the dark. In the end, the answer to this unlucky city gate official was our young master Dugu Huai'en who slapped his head with a horsewhip, "Fuck your mother! I am the Daxing order, and all the eleven gates of the outer city of Daxing must listen to me! I am still the big brother!" The general’s cousin, don’t talk about you, Wei Yijie has to salute me when he sees me! Stop talking nonsense to me, and open the door immediately!”

Everyone in Daxing City knows the relationship between Dugu Huai'en and Li Yuan's cousins, and they also know that Dugu Huai'en is arrogant and domineering, and he is not easy to mess with, so after being whipped, the unlucky city gate officer thought about making a big fuss It must be his bad luck, he really opened the city gate obediently, and he didn't even dare to ask why Dugu Wynn opened the gate to let Yuan Qi out of the city.

What's even more strange is still to come. When it was time to bid farewell, Yuan Qi suddenly remembered a big event, and hurriedly asked Dugu Wynn, "Wynn, how do I go back to the city? How do I come back when I leave the city?"

Dugu Huai'en was taken aback, and then remembered that he had forgotten to discuss with Yuan Qi how to go back to the city, but this is not a problem for our Dugu son. After thinking about it for a while, Dugu Huai'en said with a big face: "Tomorrow at noon, you Go back to the city from Mingde Gate, and I will pick you up there."

"Then you have to be on time. Don't be like the last time you went to Lishan to shoot and hunt. You promised to leave at noon. It's late and I haven't seen your shadow yet."

With a word of concern, our Mr. Yuan Qi swaggered and led his two followers out of the city on horseback. He lit up a lantern for the sake of light, and our Mr. Dugu also yawned and went home to catch up on sleep. Yanhua The gate guard hurriedly closed the city gate, complaining in a low voice about Young Master Dugu's arrogance. Fortunately, there were no other accidents, and the city gate officials who were afraid of causing trouble did not dare to raise the issue.

The process of Mr. Yuan Qi's visit to Chen Sangliang was also wonderful. He was only five miles away from the city, and Mr. Yuan Qi was stopped by the Sui army's patrol scouts. The military scout said directly with a big face: "Lead me to see Chen Liushou, tell Chen Liushou, and say that my old friend Yuan Qi is paying a visit, and I have something important to report to him."

Looking at the luxuriously dressed Yuan Qi, seeing his calm demeanor, seeing the exquisite lanterns with the seal of the Yuan Mansion in the hands of his two attendants, and seeing him come out of Yanhua Gate on horseback with the lanterns in hand, The scouts of the Sui army were also bluffed, so they hurried forward to lead the way, and respectfully led our young master Yuan Qi to the gate of the Sui army camp. Yuan Qi also pretended to be Chen Sangliang's old friend and asked Chen Sangliang to meet him immediately. The gate officials of the Sui army camp also did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly entertained Mr. Yuan Qi warmly, while sending someone to report to Chen Sangliang.

"Yuan Qi? My old friend?"

Our Mr. Yuan Qi's good luck ends here. Chen Sangliang, who was woken up shortly after falling asleep, was in a daze. He broke his head and couldn't remember Mr. Yuan Qi who had only seen two or three sides before. For the sake of being one of the eight powerful families in Guanlong, Chen Sangliang yawned and said: "Go and see if Fang Xuanling is asleep. If he is not asleep, ask him to meet me. Fang Xuanling is also asleep. If so, let that Yuan Qi wait overnight, and we can talk about something tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Chen Sangliang fell back to sleep as soon as he lay down.

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling, who was busy with business, was just about to go to sleep, and Chen Sangliang asked Fang Xuanling not to refuse, and immediately went to the guest tent to meet Yuan Qi, so our Mr. Yuan Qi was not left out in the cold. What's even better is that Fang Xuanling met Yuan Qi once because of the beating of Chai Shao. After the meeting, Fang Xuanling, who has a good memory, immediately recognized Mr. Yuan Qi, and immediately asked in doubt: "Young Master Yuan, why is it you? Isn't the representative of your Shunyang County Government Mansion Yuan Kao?"

"Yuan Kao? My second uncle?" Mr. Yuan Qi was even more baffled, and said suspiciously: "When did my second uncle become the representative of my family, why didn't I know? By the way, you seem to be a little familiar, have we met before?" Pass?"

"Yes." Fang Xuanling nodded and explained: "At the beginning you and Mr. Yuwen arrested Chai Shao and beat him up. Chen Liushou went to ask you to forgive Chai Shao. I was also there, following Chen Liushou."

"I remember, I've seen it before!" Yuan Qi was overjoyed when he heard that, then quickly sized up Fang Xuanling, and said with great envy: "I was promoted, I remember you were still wearing commoner clothes at that time, and now you are already a fifth-rank official." Convinced, with Chen Liushou's support, he will be promoted quickly. Oh, by the way, where is Chen Liushou? Did you tell him I'm coming?"

"This..." Fang Xuanling was a little embarrassed, thinking, Mr. Yuan, you are not embarrassing me. You have no official position, and you are not the eldest grandson of Gongyuanya in Shunyang County. Why should Brother Yingliang support you overnight? you

"If you haven't reported it yet, report it quickly." Mr. Yuan Qi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tell him, I have brought him good news. The old thief Li Yuan is dead. My good brother Dugu Huai'en and I will also discuss it." Alright, we are ready to open the city gate to welcome you into the city."

Mr. Yuan Qi hadn't finished speaking, when there was a bang, Fang Xuanling had already fallen to the ground, staring at Mr. Yuan Qi dumbfounded for a moment, then Fang Xuanling jumped up suddenly, and said quickly: "Quick, quick!" Go report to Chen Liushou and ask him to meet Mr. Yuan immediately! Say that Mr. Yuan has brought important news that the old thief Li Yuan is dead! Hurry! Hurry up! Also, prepare a banquet in the central army tent, the best banquet! Mr. Yuan Hurry up, please go to our Chinese army tent!"

Chen Sangliang, who was awakened again, rushed into the Chinese army's big tent barefoot, gave Mr. Yuan Qi a bear hug as soon as they met, apologized repeatedly and said that he was late and apologized to Mr. Yuan Qi, and then confessed to Mr. Yuan Qi in person. The unknown soldier scolded a bloody head, "Slap your mouth! A bunch of trash, why don't you say they are Mr. Yuan Qi, but only Mr. Yuan from Daxing City. There are eight hundred Mr. Yuan in Daxing City if not one thousand. How do I know that it is Mr. Yuan? I said it was my old friend Mr. Yuan Qi, how could I neglect him? Come on, apologize to Mr. Yuan!"

The unlucky scapegoat soldier obediently apologized. Fortunately, our Young Master Yuan didn't bother to care about these trivial matters. Apart from hugging and laughing loudly with Chen Sangliang, he couldn't wait to talk about the past with Chen Sangliang, Chen Sangliang But while perfunctory, he personally invited Mr. Yuan to the upper seat, poured wine for Mr. Yuan, and asked impatiently: "Brother Yuan, you said that old thief Li Yuan is dead, is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true. Brother Huai'en saw him die with his own eyes." Yuan Qi replied casually: "Do you still remember Brother Dugu Huai'en? He is the cousin of the old thief Li Yuan, and now he is Da Xingling, the old thief Li Yuan When he died, he happened to be at the scene and saw it with his own eyes."

Speaking casually, Yuan Qi introduced what he knew to Chen Sangliang, Fang Xuanling and the others, saying that Li Yuan had kicked his legs on the evening of the day he was defeated and returned to the city, and when he was dying, he met a son of an official named Du Ruhui. He also lamented that God was going to defeat him. Chen Sangliang and Fang Xuanling became more and more delighted the more they listened, and hurriedly asked: "After the death of the old thief Li Yuan, who will be the leader of the thief army?"

"There is no coach." Yuan Qi's answer made Chen Sangliang and Fang Xuanling almost stare out of their eyes, and Yuan Qi said again: "I heard from Brother Wynn that the old thief Li Yuan died before he finished his last words. Both of my sons wanted to be the head coach, but neither of them would accept the other, so in the end they had to give way to each other, and Pei Ji became the chief commander, discussing what to do in case of any problem, and using the banner of Li Yuan's old thief to deceive people together."

Chen Sangliang wished he could kiss Yuan Qi a few more times, but the good news was not over yet, Yuan Qi immediately said that Dugu Huai'en had agreed with himself and Li Yangcheng to open the city to accommodate the Sui army's entry into the city. Chen Sangliang was even more ecstatic when he heard that , quickly asked: "Brother Yuan, how do you plan to meet us?"

After hearing the foolproof plan introduced by Mr. Yuan Qi, and knowing that they hadn't even made up their minds about the city gate, Chen Sangliang and Fang Xuanling were finally dumbfounded, and began to admire the courage of these dudes And courage, indeed brave enough fat! Then, after carefully asking Mr. Yuan Qi about his departure from the city tonight, Chen Sangliang and Fang Xuanling almost fainted on the spot—is that okay? !

Fortunately, Mr. Yuanqi and others who have the guts and heart but have no brains have not started to make a move. The plan can be overthrown and restarted. First, they praised Mr. Yuanqi and others for their loyalty to the country, and promised that they will definitely come to the country. Emperor Sui Yang asked for credit and rewards for them, and then Chen Sangliang hurriedly denied the simple and efficient response plan of Mr. Yuan Qi and others on the excuse that it was too dangerous, and asked Mr. Yuan Qi to introduce the power they controlled. How much power does En hold in his hands, and he personally advises them and formulates internal response plans.

Mr. Yuan Qi's answer made Chen Sangliang and Fang Xuanling very speechless. Yuan Qi and Li Yangcheng, two dudes with official positions and powers, could only organize thirty or forty armed servants at most. Dugu Huai'en was basically from Daxing County. Yamen servants are weak and unreliable, and may be betrayed at any time. It is impossible to think about winning the door by force alone. However, Dugu Huai'en's special status is definitely worth taking advantage of. If it is handled well, there is definitely a lot of hope for opening a city gate.

After some low-pitched discussions, Chen Sangliang and Fang Xuanling decided to divide the plan into two steps. The first step is to wait for Li Jing and Qu Tutong's rear troops to arrive, and let them station in the south of Daxing City. The second step is to ask Dugu Huai'en to use the excuse that the third Daxing South Gate is in an emergency, and take the opportunity to request that the army be stationed at one of the Daxing South Three Gates to strengthen its defenses. It's not difficult, but as long as Dugu Huai'en can get the management right of even one city gate, it will be easy for the Sui army to enter the city. At that time, if luck is good and moves quickly, the Sui army may still hope to severely injure the main force of the rebels on the outer city battlefield, reducing the resistance to attacking the inner city in the future.

He told Yuan Qi the plan in detail, and forced him to memorize it so that he would not forget it. Then Chen Sangliang instructed Dugu Huai'en to approach Li Er actively to win Li Er's trust, and then volunteered to Li Er to guard a city gate. He also carefully explained that it doesn't matter if you fail, you must not take risks and do it yourself, as long as you keep in touch with yourself at all times - Dugu Huai'en can directly participate in the rebel military aircraft, Chen Sangliang does not want to lose such an important information channel.

So, after a full meal of wine and meat in the Sui army camp, we brought Chen Sangliang's secret letter and reward promise, and the next morning, our Mr. Yuanqi returned to Daxing City in a big way, and at noon Returned to Mingde Gate, the main entrance of Daxing Outer City on time, but Mr. Dugu finally kept watch this time, and came to the Mingde Gate ahead of time to wait. Seeing Mr. Yuanqi's return, he immediately made an excuse that he was a subordinate who he had arranged to go out of the city. Let the defenders of Mingde Gate open the gate and let Yuan Qi return to the city, and it was very smooth. Seeing this scene from a distance, the Sui Army soldiers who secretly escorted and monitored Yuan Qi back to the city were overjoyed, and immediately returned to the camp to report to Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang was also overjoyed when he heard the report, and felt that there should be a lot of hope this time. .

While tensely arranging the siege plan, October 17 passed peacefully under the situation of confrontation across the city. On the morning of the 18th, the rear army led by Li Jing and Qu Tutong arrived outside Daxing City smoothly. With the combination of the army and the newly recruited more than 20,000 rebels, the strength of the Sui army exceeded 110,000 in one fell swoop. When Chen Sangliang was overjoyed, he kept his promise and personally led the army Wenwu out of the camp to welcome Li Jing, Qu Tutong and the newly surrendered Qiu brothers. He also ordered Li Jing and Qu Tutong to set up the camp ten miles south of Daxing City, and established The Pianshi camp directly threatened Daxing South Sanmen.

Seeing the Sui army's strength increase sharply on the city wall, and they set up camp in the south to threaten the three gates of the southern city, the rebels were of course worried and their faces became more gloomy. But there are exceptions. On the city wall, I saw Chen Sangliang keeping his promise and camping outside the south gate. Daxing's parents, Dugu Huai'en, were smiling, and immediately ran into the Wude Hall to come to the Li family brothers and Pei Ji, and volunteered to participate in the defense of the city. , He also asked in a very strong tone to serve as the chief general of the South Sanmen garrison, and lead the garrison to resist the attack of the Sui army.

The tone is a little big, but Dugu Huai'en's special identity is placed here after all. Li Yuan's direct cousin, Li Jiancheng and Li Er's cousin, stood in line in advance before Li Yuan's rebel army entered Daxing City Conglong Gongchen, Li Jiancheng and Li Er didn't suspect him no matter how suspicious they were, they were just worried that Dugu Huai'en had never been on the battlefield. The brothers and Pei Ji were a little hesitant, but Dugu Huai'en repeatedly expressed his loyalty and patted his chest He expressed that he would defend the city gate to the end, serve the righteous teacher, and avenge his cousin.

At this point, as long as the Li family brothers nodded and agreed, the Daxing Outer City was basically doomed to be buried in the hands of Dugu Huai'en. Shao stood up and said to the Li family brothers and Pei Ji: "Dalang, Erlang, Pei Changshi, General Dugu has never been on the battlefield and lacks experience in the battlefield. Now that the officers and soldiers are approaching the city, he is suddenly appointed as the city gate guard. Is it too hasty?"

The Li family brothers were already worried about this, and they nodded after hearing Chai Shao's objection. Dugu Huai'en secretly hated him, but Chai Shao went on to say: "I think, in fact, the most suitable position for General Dugu should be in the palace city." , General Dugu entered the palace at the age of three, and grew up in Daxing Palace City since he was a child. He is familiar with all the conditions in the palace city. If you want to kill the enemy with soldiers, it would be more appropriate to arrange General Dugu to serve in Miyagi as my deputy and assist me in guarding Miyagi."

"It makes sense." Pei Ji nodded and said, "The outer city is too large and difficult to defend, and the total strength of the government and army has surpassed us. If there is nothing to do, why not take advantage of his familiarity with the internal situation of Miyagi and ask him to serve as the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army to assist General Chai in guarding Miyagi and ensure the safety of our final shelter."

The first place like Miyagi must be guarded by the most reliable people. After hearing what Chai Shao and Pei Ji said, Li Er and Li Jiancheng immediately agreed. It was a rare unanimous decision that Dugu Huai'en would be the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army to assist Chai Shao Guarding Miyagi, he randomly arranged for a cannon fodder to replace Dugu Huai'en as the Daxing Order. Although Dugu Huai'en complained secretly, his thin arms couldn't twist his thick thighs. He had no choice but to accept this appointment, obediently left the palace to deliver the errand, packed his luggage and went to Miyagi to serve as an errand.

The matter was not over yet, after leaving the Wude Hall dejectedly, Chai Shao came out of the hall again to catch up with Dugu Huai'en, and said to Dugu Huai'en with a smile: "Brother Dugu, I remember you told me last time that Li Yangcheng and Yuan Qi They really want to serve in our army. Since you and I are going to work in Miyagi, why don't you call them all to me. We old friends who used to go hunting and hunting together get back together again, and it will be more lively .”

"Yuanqi? Li Yangcheng?" Dugu Huai'en's face turned pale on the spot, almost thinking that Chai Shao had discovered their secret.

"Yes, it's them." Chai Shao nodded, and ordered involuntarily: "This is an order. You must bring them to see me when you enter the palace. There must be no mistakes."

After all, Chai Shao turned around and left, leaving Dugu Huai En in a daze, not knowing what kind of medicine Chai Shao sold in the gourd, and said suspiciously: "This kid, maybe he wants to take the opportunity to take revenge? "
