Nan Jiyun was sitting on the bed, with the wine and meat he longed for in front of him, surrounded by a safe city, and beside him were pairs of admiring eyes. This army of thousands of horses, which was comparable to a canine warrior, made him sad. He twisted around, I can't get used to this atmosphere. "That's it?" "That's it. Nan Ba ??is incompetent. He failed to see Huangfu Weiming and even scolded him outside Hongji City. I'm afraid he will never come to help" Nan Jiyun was calm at this time. When I got down, I thought about what I had scolded Huangfu Weiming outside Hongji City, and I knew that I was afraid that I would mess it up. I immediately got out of the excitement of rushing into the army and said a little depressed. There was deathly silence around, Ye Chang swallowed, and Gao Shi whispered softly: "Keep it secret." "Yes yes, keep it secret. You all remember that Nan Ba ??sent the letter to Doctor Huangfu, and Doctor Huangfu sent him Enter the city and make an appointment with us We agreed to use the wolf smoke as a signal. When the wolf smoke ignites, the inside and outside should be united, and we must kill all the dogs and soldiers without leaving a single piece of armor behind." Ye Chang came back to his senses, looked around, and saw that they were all brought by him. Come on, relax a little. Li Bai grabbed the wine in front of Nan Jiyun and drank it all in one gulp: "Yes, it's just a fight to the death I didn't expect it" Then he saw Ye Chang glaring at him, he smiled and said He swallowed the words that came to his mouth. This great poet was really a big talker and couldn't control himself at all. "Huangfu Weiming is really brave" Cen Shen's face turned pale. This was the first time he realized. The strife in the officialdom may be more terrifying than the enemies. "Don't worry too much, everyone. This incident caused by Nanba was beyond Huangfu Weiming's expectation. I'm afraid he can't delay it No, no," Gao Shi was about to say. Kuan Jie everyone suddenly frowned and said, "Almost at the same time, Ye Chang also fisted: "No, no." The two looked at each other, Li Bai looked thoughtful, while Cen Shen was confused. After running into the room, he raised the torch and looked at the map hanging on the wall. After looking at it for a while, he muttered and cursed: "From now on, as a general and scout, I must be able to make sand table maps" At this time, The military map was really hard for him to understand, and it was difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south. Gao Shi also came over and pointed at a small square on the map: "Hongji City" Hongji City is about forty miles away from Huacheng City. Immediately afterwards, Gao Shi's fingers began to move to one side. Ye Chang and others held their breath. When his fingers stopped, everyone shouted: "Ji Shi Army". Since last year, Huangfu Weiming launched a counterattack against Quan Rong. Since then, the only thing standing in front of the army is the military city of Jishi Army. Quanrong uses this as his base. If he can capture this place, the Tang army will have no worries and can directly attack Shibao City. Gao Shi looked at each other and smiled bitterly. When they offered their advice, they still didn't think it through well. After all, they were not as good as Huangfu Weiming, a veteran who had been fighting at the border for several years and a bureaucrat who had been floating in the officialdom for decades. I was afraid that Gao Shi would give him advice. From the beginning, Huangfu Weiming was determined to use this opportunity to capture the Jishi Army. Ye Chang and Gao Shi's plan was to ambush the troops when they came out, but Huangfu Weiming apparently agreed with their plan, but in fact he did not. He went to the Jishi Army: "Thismaybe you have questions? "Cen Shen looked at the map and said doubtfully. "There is absolutely no doubt that if Huangfu Weiming is still there, then Wang Ruolan must be there. Wang Ruolan has long been interested in recruiting Nanba, how can he not let Nanba enter the city? "Ye Chang's eyes flashed fiercely. If Huangfu Weiming had made this clear to him, he wouldn't have hated him so much, but Huangfu Weiming kept them hidden. "Everyone was silent. Attacking the Jishi Army is not a good idea. It's easy, even the main force of the Quan Rong army was attracted to Huacheng City. "If I attack the Jishi Army, I will ambush the troops nearby, and then order my subordinate Tuyuhun to pretend to be under the Quan Rong army, just to transport the loot back to the city. Warriors in sacks captured the city gates. Jishi Army City is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, but as long as the city gate is captured, the few remaining dog soldiers can be blocked alive." Ye Chang whispered, Li Bai's face looked better: "If the capture of Jishi Army goes well, Huangfu Weiming's return will be more timelyah yo" He slapped his head, his eyes widened, and Cen Shen also looked hesitant. "If they are Huangfu Weiming, now that they have captured the Jishi Army, what will they do next? Of course it is. Flying to seize Shibao City, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Quanrong people has not yet returned, if they can also capture Shibao City, then the Quanrong people who have now penetrated deep into Huacheng City will be cut off. When they turn around, they will close the door and fight. The dog is. Being able to recapture Shibao City means that Huangfu Weiming has accomplished a remarkable feat. Unless Huacheng City is destroyed and Bian Lingcheng dies, he will definitely be able to take advantage of this and return to the center to offer prisoners, or even stay directly in the center. A closer look at the position of prime minister: "He has great faith in you, Shiyilang, and thinks that you will be able to hold on. "Li Bai wanted to understand one point and took pleasure in the hardships. He smiled at Ye Chang and said, "Ye Chang murmured and cursed and then said: "There is food in the city and there are people. Unless it is Bian Lingcheng's pig brain, how can he not be able to defend it? As long as he defends it, In three days, news of the Jishi Army will come. At that time, Quanrong will definitely be in a dilemma But what he didn't expect was that Quanrong General Mo Kaza would be killed by us with a winch crossbow." In the daytime The result of the battle was known from the capture of several injured Dog Rong soldiers. He used a winch crossbow to ambush and killed the deputy commander of the Dog Rong army, Mo Kaza. Zebu was a powerful minister of the Dog Rong, second only to the Prime Minister, Meulu Qiongsang. Therefore, Quan Rong must be eager to avenge Mokaza and will never let Huacheng City go easily. "After learning about the Jishi Army, Quan Rong will make another desperate attack. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain to Mo Dong Zebu." Ye Chang said: "After this desperate attack, the next step will be easier. " Having said this, his expression showed a trace of ferocity, and everyone looked at him in shock. Ye Chang looked around, everyone was fighting side by side, and the original friendship became a step further. Therefore, he would not hide some words. . "Everyone has seen Bian Lingcheng. Moreover, if there is a precedent for the Internal Supervisory and Supervisory Army, it will cause endless trouble for our Tang Dynasty." He lowered his voice and said: "Huangfu is Mingming, and he has received such credit, even if he is not worshiped as Prime Minister , it is certain that he will be promoted to the court, and he is not a good person - I want to drive these two people to hurt each other, what do you think?" "How to hurt each other?" Gao Shi said in a deep voice: "If it is not done carefully, it will only happen if it is not done carefully. I'm afraid we will be in danger." Li Bai smiled and said, "This matter is easy to hear. Just leave it to me. Without the guards, killing the border commander is like slaughtering a dog. If the border commander dies, the inner prison will be frightened. , If you dare not ask yourself to be the supervisor, Huangfu Weiming will also be punished for it" These words were hidden in Ye Chang's heart. He did not dare to say them out because he still had some scruples, but unexpectedly Li Bai said them without any disguise. Ye Chang was a little surprised, but he was relieved when he thought that Li Bai had traveled all over the world and avenged others with his sword. It would be best for Li Bai to reveal this plan. Nan Jiyun, who was sitting there eating and drinking, said at this time: "Everyone has a useful life and should not be touched lightly. A certain warrior is deeply loved by all the princes. When he is serving, when he is waiting for a certain person in the rebellious army, If Bian Lingcheng is killed by an arrow, Mr. Qinglian will do nothing to dirty his hands." Ye Chang smiled and said, "Don't argue with me about this matter. I have been wanting to get rid of Bian Lingcheng for a long time. I will make arrangements when the time comes. There is no flaw in the preservation. This is Ye Chang's true words. Bian Lingcheng tried to reach out to his wine making, and Ye Chang pretended to be a snake. In fact, Ye Chang wanted to give the wine to the powerful. , Aren't Li Linfu and Gao Lishi more worthy of joining forces than Bian Lingcheng? Even directly offering them to Li Longji is far better than Bian Lingcheng. Originally, Ye Chang just wanted to deal with him temporarily and use his supervisor to make him powerful. Now it seems that this military commander is of no use. It is better to use his death to bring down Huangfu Weiming. Now that everyone has made up their minds, they will defend for the next two days and feel confident on the third day. The Dog Rong army launched a large-scale attack, and even Bian Lingcheng, who had been fighting in the city, was alarmed and couldn't help but go to the top of the city. Seeing Ye Chang personally commanding him, he hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Ye Chang, tell the truth. "Can the city be defended?" Quanrong attacked the city for three consecutive days. Now the number of guards in the city has exceeded 300, many of whom are Bian Lingcheng's subordinates. Bian Lingcheng's cronies continue to attack the city. When the news of the bloody battle came back and he learned that the city might be lost at any time, Bian Lingcheng had a new thought. He thought that if he really couldn't defend it, he would ask someone to protect him and escape. Anyway, Quan Rong was most interested in the grain and grass craftsmen. He might be able to escape easily. "What are your orders? "Ye Chang had not had enough sleep in the past three days, so he had lost his elegant demeanor. His eyes were bloodshot, and he asked Bian Lingcheng. Seeing that everyone around him was far away, Bian Lingcheng said in a low voice: "I see The momentum of the canine army will not give up until the city is broken. If you feel unsure, why not bring Nanba and Shanzhi to have a rest, then escort us, lower the rope, and escape from the back city - the war horses can also be lowered. ¡± He actually made his plan as planned, Nanba Shenshe, good and brave, with these two people guarding him, he felt more at ease. Ye Chang also had to take him with him. If he didn¡¯t take Ye Chang away, who would make money for him Ye Chang With a sullen face, he said for a while: "What Mr. Bian said is true, but it is not the time to escape now. We have to wait until night Mr. Bian, the canine army attacked so fiercely today, I think the defense will be less careful at night. By then, How about the Bian Gong escaping from the back city again? " "You won't come with me? "Bian Lingcheng said in surprise. "Of course I will go with Mr. Bian However, in order to prevent too many people from being disturbed, Li Taibai and the others cannot take them away Mr. Bian can only take no more than ten people with him. The cronies, the rest, etc Well, the Bian Gong can ask them to go to the city to help in the battle, so as not to be discovered by them. " Ye Chang knew the psychology of eunuchs very well. Bian Lingcheng was an extremely selfish person. Although he brought five hundred people, at least fifty or sixty of them were recruited by himself.He pretends to be a confidant, but between his own life and his confidants, he will definitely choose the former. Bian Lingcheng thinks it makes sense. Ye Chang has even given up on his friend Li Bai. How can he lead too many people? The two circled the city twice, looking for a suitable place to leave. Seeing Ye Chang's careful consideration, Bian Lingcheng no longer had any doubts and said immediately: "Ye Chang, don't worry, the failure of this battle is not your fault or mine. With more than a thousand people holding on for three days, we have already tried our best. , then Huangfu Weiming refused to come to help, which is a capital crime." Ye Chang's heart moved: "Mr. Bian, taking advantage of this opportunity, why not write a secret letter to record down everything that happened here, so as not to panic when we escape. "Is there something missing?" "What you said is, let's write it now." Bian Lingcheng hated Huangfu Weiming very much. He had been thinking about how to file a complaint for the past few days. Hearing that Ye Chang provoked this matter, he felt angry. He was immediately aroused: "I've written it for you to read." Ye Chang smiled and said: "I need to make more preparations to make the evacuation of the border guards very safe - maybe tonight, I will arrange a counterattack , causing the dogs and soldiers to become restless, they took the opportunity to arrange for their evacuation. Not to mention that he hurried back to write a secret report against Huangfu Weiming. Cheng's intention was to speak out: "This eggless eunuch is really going to abandon the city and flee." "Ye Shiyi, you were right." Li Bai raised his thumb: "He just wanted his men to exaggerate the bloody battle at the top of the city." "He must be restless and take the initiative to escape." "There are many people in the city and it is difficult to take action. Moreover, Bian Lingcheng has many cronies, and it is easy for the news to leak out. But he only brought less than ten cronies out. This is our opportunity." "I will arrange it Gao Gong, the affairs in the city are up to you for the time being. If anyone asks about me" "I just said that you have been fighting hard these days. Now that the Quanrong troops are about to retreat, you can rest for now." Gao Shi looked at Li Bai: "Taibai, you will be guarding Ye Shiyi's military tent. If someone breaks in, you will greet them with the sword in your hand." "Don't worry." Li Bai was very excited, but also a little regretful: "It's a pity, I still want to see the face of Bian Lingcheng who is about to die. If it were before participating in this battle, Li Bai would definitely insist on killing Bian Lingcheng, but after these few days of bloody battles, his temper finally changed." There was a slight change, and things were no longer so willful. "The dogs are coming to the city." Just as they were still discussing, they suddenly heard the alarm gong from the front, and someone came to report. They laughed and dispersed, each with their own men to guard the city. In the past few days, Quan Rong had entered the city more than once, so everyone was not in a panic. This time Quan Rong's attack was repelled, and there were another hundred casualties in the city. This news made Bian Lingcheng determined. He summoned Ye Chang and showed Ye Chang the secret memorial he had written: "Ye Chang, what do you think of this secret memorial? " Ye Chang read the content. It was full of curses against Huangfu Weiming. After reading it, Ye Chang smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Bian, with all due respect, you are from the inner court after all. Dou, who is full of treachery, is not Huangfu. Only know your opponent. If you really want to overthrow Huangfu Weiming, you must not do this. "Why?" "If Huangfu Weiming takes advantage of our opportunity to attract the main force of the Quanrong and seizes the Jishi Army or even Shibao City, then you can cover up all your mistakes with one success, you It's just that you are jealous of his great achievements. From my point of view, it is better to say that Duke Bian and we knew that Huangfu Weiming wanted to use us as bait, but we still went to the post without caring for our country and fought bloody battles every day. I hope I can hold on to the main force of the Quanrong, so as to buy an opportunity for Huangfu Weiming" As soon as he said this, Bian Lingcheng immediately understood: "Wonderful, wonderful, in this way, if Huangfu Weiming wins, it will be due to us. The biggest one is that if he loses, it will be even more because he is incompetent. Then he writes that he refuses to save anyone, and wants to monopolize all the credit, regardless of our life and death As expected of Ye Shiyi, okay, I will write it as you say."
