    "Crash!" With a sound, the man in front of Li Jiancheng flew into the air. Li Jiancheng's city did not have Li Ershen, but his self-cultivation was far better than Li Er. He had never behaved so inappropriately as lifting the table in public. However, this time, Li Jiancheng broke  After the case, he still didn't feel relieved. He rushed forward and picked up Yu Dashi who was kneeling in front of him crying. He roared with a livid face and asked: "Just lost like this? Lost like this? Is Duan Lun crazy?"  Stupid, why did he open the city gate at the moment of battle? Why didn't he have any doubt that that common man Wang Fubao was pretending to surrender to him?  He suddenly fired arrows at the rebels on the battlefield, causing chaos in the middle of the rebel army. Everyone thought that he was pretending to surrender to Chen, and took the opportunity to switch sides. Then he was chased by the rebels and fled to Lingshi North.  Manager Duan felt that we must help him. He also felt that Wang Fubao was a rare talent and that rescuing him would be of great use. He also said that rescuing him could be a favor to Dou Jiande, which made Dou Jiande more willing to help us, so he ordered the north gate to be opened.  Who knows Who knows that the real target of Wang Fubao's surrender is us" After saying that, Yu Dashi couldn't help but burst into tears and cried: "Manager Duan said he has no face to see you again.  I asked Xiao Xiao to come back and report the news, and he led his army to fight to the death As a result, no one knows whether Mr. Duan is dead or alive" "Trash!" Li Jiancheng yelled hysterically and slammed Yu Da hard.  Shi fell to the ground, his anger still lingering. He rushed to Li Er who was standing aside, pointed at Li Er's nose and yelled, "Why don't you persuade Duan Lun? You always pride yourself on being resourceful, why don't you  After seeing Wang Fubao's plan to surrender, why didn't he remind Duan Lun not to open the city gate easily? "Brother, please calm down," Li Er said calmly, his handsome face stained with dirt and blood: "Little brother."  I have told you just now that when the incident happened, I was fighting with Chen's army on the battlefield. I had no time to understand the situation in the north gate, let alone to advise my brother-in-law. By the time I discovered what had happened in the city, it was already too late. "  Staring at his younger brother, the muscles on Li Jiancheng's face twitched. Li Er showed no fear and looked calmly at Li Jiancheng. After a long time, Li Jiancheng stomped his feet heavily and shouted to the sky, "God will destroy our army!"  There was silence. Li Shentong, Yin Kaishan, Zhang Lun, Zhang Daoyuan and other Taiyuan army civil and military officials were all downcast and closed their mouths. Only Yu Dashi was still lying on the ground crying.  After a long time, Li Jiancheng shook his head feebly and sighed: "There is no other way. We can only rely on Jiexiu and Lengquanguan to hold on here. I hope we will not make the same mistake this time and don't give the enemy things like Lingshi."  "Opportunity." "Commander Zuo, Jiexiu Lengquan Pass is already our last line of defense on the southern front. Once the rebels break through, the five counties of Taiyuan will no longer have any natural protection." Yin Kaishan said: "That's it.  No matter how great the hope is, we should immediately start deploying in Wenshui. Even if we can't defeat the rebel army at the critical moment, we can temporarily stop the rebel army and buy us time to respond. " "That's all," Li Jiancheng sighed.  He turned to Li Shentong and said: "Uncle, I leave the matter of Wenshui to you. Set out immediately to prepare. The sooner the water is stored, the better. There is not much time left for us." Li Shentong agreed and went down immediately to prepare.  Yin Kaishan then said: "Captain Zuo, as well as Dou Jiande, now that Cao Dan is stationed in Yueyang, Dou Jiande's army can directly arrive at Linfen. We only need Dou Jiande to send out the main reinforcements, and we can buy more time." "I was early.  So he sent Ren Yu to Linming." Li Jiancheng replied casually, then shook his head and said: "But the road to Yueyang is not suitable for the army to march. It is unlikely that Ren Yu can ask Dou Jiande to send troops in person. Dou Jiande can give Yueyang more help.  I will be satisfied with adding some troops. " "Commander Zuo, can you ask Dou Jiande to march through Jingxingguan and go back to Jiexiu to help our army?" Zhang Daoyuan suggested.  "Dou Jiande may not agree to such a long detour." Li Jiancheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Besides, asking Dou Jiande to march from Jingxingguan is equivalent to inviting Dou Jiande into our empty hinterland. Even if Dou Jiande agrees, I don't have this  Have the courage to accept it." When Zhang Daoyuan shut up, Li Jiancheng sighed: "Of course, when we are forced to retreat to Taiyuan City, we can only plead with Dou Jiande to send troops from Jingxing Pass to help. I hope that day never comes.  "Everyone nodded and comforted Li Jiancheng by saying that the city of Jiexiu was strong and the terrain of Lengquan Pass was steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack. No matter how strong the main force of the Sui army was, they would never be able to break through easily. Li Jiancheng also comforted himself with these words.  Over there, Li Er suddenly spoke, cupped his hands to Li Jiancheng and said: "Brother, the day before yesterday, our army conducted a careful investigation and found out that a man from Liang Shidu was recruited by the traitor Chen Yingliang."??, soldiers and horses were gathered in the Shangcheng and Yanfu areas, preparing to send troops to attack Lishi County to cooperate with the Chen bandits heading north.  If this thief is allowed to succeed, our army will be attacked from both sides, and it will be difficult to take care of the head and tail. If the elder brother does not give up, and the younger brother is willing to lead his troops to Lishi to resist the thief, the Liang thief will definitely not be allowed to cross the Yellow River.  " Glancing at his younger brother very warily, Li Jiancheng replied: "No need, Erlang, you are tired from the battle and in urgent need of rest. You'd better stay in Jiexiu and help me make plans to resist the rebel army.  On the other side of Lishi, uncle and the others will resist.  " "My younger brother has been defeated in a series of battles in front of Chen Zei. If he stays in Jiexiu's army, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the army.  "Li Er seemed to have been frightened by Chen Sangliang, and said a little discouraged: "There are also soldiers under my younger brother who have also been killed by Chen Sangliang's army. They stayed in Jiexiu talking with the friendly troops. I'm afraid.  No matter what, it will shake the morale of the army and hurt morale, or  " "It doesn't matter, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists.  Li Jiancheng interrupted Li Er with a wave of his hand, and then said: "If defeated by Chen Thief, the morale of the army will be shaken. The defeated troops must be transferred away, and then we will not have many troops left."  Starting from you and me, down to the ordinary soldiers, how many people in our army have never suffered a defeat in front of Chen Yingliang?  Where in the world can you find an army that has defeated Chen Yingliang?  " Li Er had no choice but to shut up, secretly hating his brother to the extreme, but Li Jiancheng snorted in his heart and said: "Don't think I can't see it, you actually want to take the opportunity to escape, maybe you also want to take the opportunity to sneak back to Taiyuan to meet your fourth brother.  Don't even think about collaborating together. No matter whether you can hold on to Jiexiu or not, you must stay in Jiexiu for me!  " "You want to keep me on the front line and not give me a chance to form my own army?  Li Er also sneered in his heart and said to himself: "It's okay if you don't let me leave. If you want to stay, just stay. It's no big deal!"  Anyway, I am stationed outside the city. As long as Lengquan Pass cannot be defended, I will immediately lead the army back to Taiyuan and join hands with my fourth brother to defend the city. You can defend the small town of Jiexiu how you like!  "  Contrary to his furious friend Li Jiancheng, after receiving the news that the Sui army's forwards had miraculously captured Lingshi City, Chen Sangliang, who was currently waiting for the main army in Linfen City, laughed wildly for three minutes.  He just praised Wang Fubao, Liu Heitai, Cheng Yaojin and other generals, and even more loudly admired his own sharp eyesight. The hard work of recruiting Wang Fubao at gallop for hundreds of miles was indeed not in vain. Huo Shiju and Wei Ziqi, who rarely met Chen Sangliang.  The civil and military officials of the Sui army continued to congratulate Chen Sangliang, saying that the forwards alone had quickly captured the important Lingshi area, and when the main force arrived, it was easy to break through Lengquan Pass and Queshu Valley.  There was not much official business to attend to, so Chen Sangliang, who had always been stingy, was rarely generous. He ordered a banquet to celebrate victory with everyone. He also sent people out of the city to contact Qin Qiong who was stationed outside the city, and asked Qin Qiong to come to the city to join them.  Drink. As a result, before the messenger went out, there was a messenger outside the door reporting the news that Qin Qiong was asking for an audience. Chen Sangliang laughed when he heard it and said, "I heard that Zhijie has established a miracle, and some people can't calm down."  .  Look, I'm definitely here to find out when to attack Yueyang.  " Yuchi Jingde, Huo Shiju, Wei Ziqi and others laughed together. After Chen Sangliang ordered the summons, Qin Qiong strode in. In addition to congratulating Chen Sangliang, Qin Qiong immediately asked Chen Sangliang impatiently:  "Your Highness, where is our main force?  When can I arrive in Linfen?  " "I just came in and heard the news.  Chen Sangliang smiled and replied: "Calculating the distance, it will take at least three days to reach Linfen."  " "Why so slow?  " Qin Qiong heard the complaint. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Qiong said in a roundabout way: "Your Highness, our army's scouts reported that after Cao Dan's men withdrew to Yueyang, they only tried their best to strengthen Yueyang's city defense and rush to repair various city defense fortifications. They are still there.  A camp has been built outside the city at an angle to the city. If we allow this man to gain a foothold in Yueyang, it will be much more difficult for us to capture Yueyang, and it may also cause Dou Jiande to increase his troops to Linfen again.  pose more threats to our army's flanks.  The general thought that it would be better to send an army to Yueyang City to confront Cao Dan and his men, and not give Cao Dan and his men a chance to build strong fortifications.  " "That's exactly what I meant.  Chen Sangliang nodded, and then said: "I am planning to ask Deputy General Manager Huo to send an army to Yueyang to confront Cao Dan. When the main force of our army arrives, we will then send additional troops to attack the city - Shu Bao, what do you think?"  how?  "    "no!  Qin Qiong became anxious upon hearing this and blurted out: "We can only let the general go to fight Yueyang, not Deputy General Huo!"  " Before Qin Qiong finished speaking, Huo Shiju, Wei Ziqi and others were already laughing so hard. Yuchi Jingde, who has always been more serious, couldn't help laughing wildly. They all said that Chen Sangliang had expected it. Qin Qiong was confused at first.  After finally figuring out the reason, Qin Qiong inevitably blushed for a while. Then Qin Qiong stopped talking nonsense and immediately knelt down on one knee to Chen Sangliang, clasped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the general has asked for orders to go out and rush to Yuezhou first."Yang is fighting with the rebel army. If he can't win again, the last general is willing to lead the army!  " Chen Sangliang stopped smiling and said to Qin Qiong: "Shu Bao, I understand your eagerness to achieve meritorious service and avenge shame, but why are you so eager to seek war?  You only have more than 6,000 people under your command now. Cao Dan has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and there are cities and camps to defend. If you ask for orders to send troops to attack him now, there is really little certainty.  Wait a little longer. When our main force arrives, I will allocate 10,000 troops to you and let you send troops to attack Yueyang. Only in this way can you be sure.  " "Your Highness, I really can't wait any longer!"  Qin Qiong handed over his hand again and said anxiously: "The general is unlucky. He went north to reinforce Linfen and lost consecutive battles. This not only destroyed the morale of our army, but also greatly damaged the majesty of the Tang Dynasty. Unless the general can defeat the enemy with his existing troops, otherwise  Even if Cao Dan is defeated, the enemy will only laugh at the fact that he relied on reinforcements to win and is completely incompetent.  " After saying that, Qin Qiong quickly added: "Before we go, even if we can't capture Yueyang City, we must defeat the enemy in the field and restore the power of our army!  The general has already discovered that Yueyang City has hoarded a large amount of food. There are only four to five thousand troops stationed in the city. The main force of the rebel army and Cao Dan himself are stationed in the camp outside the city. It is very easy to lure them into a field battle. Please rest assured, Your Highness.  ¡± After being defeated in front of Wang Fubao one after another, Qin Qiong was anxious to regain his face. Of course Chen Sangliang knew very well that the number of troops never determines victory or defeat on the battlefield. It is not uncommon to win with less, and Qin Qiong, the famous general of Lingyan Pavilion, undoubtedly has this too.  Potential. So after thinking about it again and again, Chen Sangliang finally nodded and said, "Okay, you can go, but I have a condition. You must agree to it before you can go.  " When Qin Qiong heard this, he was overjoyed and asked Chen Sangliang what his conditions were. However, Chen Sangliang's answer made Qin Qiong, Huo Shiju and others dumbfounded on the spot - Chen Sangliang said with a smile: "My condition is that you arrive in Yueyang.  After the city is conquered, you must defeat two formations before you are allowed to win the third formation!  " "Do we have to defeat two battles first?  "Qin Qiong was a little surprised at first, but famous generals are famous generals. After a moment of daze, Qin Qiong immediately came back to his senses and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, you want the last general to deceive the arrogant enemy, lure the enemy to reveal his flaws, and then attack again.  Strength to win.  "    "clever.  "Chen Sangliang smiled and praised, and then explained: "Shu Bao, you are unlucky this time. You won Zhijie in the lottery, but on the battlefield you were unlucky to meet Wang Fubao, who likes to attack the enemy unprepared.  After several defeats, although I know very well in my heart that you lost unjustly, Dou Jiande's bandit army is different. They will definitely think that you are not as famous as they meet, but in fact they are not afraid.  Since the enemy will definitely have such thoughts, then if you use the arrogance strategy to lure the enemy, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Do you understand?  " Having said that, Chen Sangliang added with a smile: "This time you used the arrogant soldier trick to lure the enemy, and the effect was so good that you might even be able to lure out Cao Dan. You are not the best at disrupting the army and taking the enemy directly.  General?  If you're lucky, you might be able to behead Cao Dan on the battlefield, or even capture him alive for me.  " When Qin Qiong heard that he was overjoyed, he quickly clasped his fists and sang a promise, and then refused to even attend the celebration banquet. He immediately left and went back to prepare for the expedition. Chen Sangliang did not stop him, and let Qin Qiong leave with a smile on his forehead. As a result, he watched Qin Qiong say goodbye happily.  Huo Shiju, Wei Ziqi and others were inevitably a little worried, and reminded Chen Sangliang: "Your Highness, General Qin is too eager to avenge his shame. He attacks the masses with the small and attacks the strong with the weak.  The battle is not going well, so please investigate carefully, Your Highness.  " "It doesn't matter.  "Chen Sangliang replied casually: "Qin Shubao is both brave and strategic, and he is a talented general. This time, he really had too many ideas and ran into Wang Fubao, the most capable person under Dou Jiande. He was defeated in consecutive battles. It can only be said that the enemy is too powerful.  He is incompetent.  Cao Dan was narrow-minded and deliberately forced Wang Fubao to die to avenge his personal revenge. This shows that he is an incompetent person and cannot be Qin Shubao's opponent. I predict that Qin Shubao will be able to defeat Cao Dan in this battle and avenge his previous shame.  " Huo Shiju and Wei Ziqi nodded doubtfully. Chen Sangliang thought about it for a moment, then said: "Forget it, let me help Shu Bao again to make Cao Dan even more careless.  Ziqi, you have good writing skills. Pick up your pen and write a letter to Cao Dan for me.  " Wei Ziqi, the only legacy Wei Lao stubbornly left to Chen Sangliang, quickly agreed and immediately asked someone to bring paper and pen to Chen Sangliang as his temporary secretary. When asked about the content of the letter, Chen Sangliang replied: "In my tone  , said some polite words such as that Dou Jiande, Cao Dan¡¯s brother-in-law, and I have never had any grievances, and said that I wouldn¡¯t mind Dou Jiande sending troops to help the Li brothers. I was still willing to get along well with Dou Jiande, and finally told Cao Dan that as long as he withdraws his troops and returns  Yueyang City also brokered a non-aggression and friendly relationship with Dou Jiande for me. I will give him three hundred catties of gold, ten pairs of jade buckets and jade walls, a hundred pearls and ten beauties.  By the way, the tone can be as respectful as possible, and it is best to flatter Cao Dan more!  "The letter was written quickly. After Chen Sangliang checked that it was correct, signed and printed, he sentAn eloquent envoy rushed to Yueyang with a heavy gift to contact Cao Dan. Then Chen Sangliang raised his glass and greeted everyone with a smile: "Okay, everything that needs to be done is done.  , it¡¯s time for us to officially celebrate, and celebrate in advance that General Qin Qiong defeated Cao Dan¡¯s rebel army and taught Dou Jiande a lesson! Also, we also celebrate in advance that General Qin took back the gift I gave to Cao Dan with profit!¡±¡­   As Chen Sangliang expected, when the Sui army envoy arrived at Yueyang early the next morning carrying valuable gifts and waited until midnight before seeing Cao Dan in person, after reading the letter signed by Chen Sangliang, Cao Dan  As expected, Dan laughed loudly with great pride, and then slapped the table and roared at the Sui army envoy: "Go back and tell Chen Yingliang that you can sue for peace if you want to, but first bring Wang Fubao's head to prove your sincerity, and then I, the general, can  Consider breaking up the war and making peace with him!" The Sui army envoy gave a rhetorical excuse and said that if Cao Dan could not care about Wang Fubao's surrender to the Sui army, Chen Sangliang could still discuss the thank you gift.  Unfortunately, Cao Dan didn't listen at all. He pointed at the Sui army envoy again and roared: "Stop talking nonsense! Get out of here, general! By the way, tell Chen Yingliang that my family, King Le, hates him to the bone. When he heard that Wang Fubao and his rebels surrendered to him,  He must march westward in person. If he, Chen Yingliang, is smart, he will immediately send an envoy to send Wang Fubao's head to my brother-in-law to plead guilty! Otherwise, his death is coming!"  The soldiers drove away, but as soon as the Sui envoy left, our General Cao immediately opened the gift box sent by the Sui envoy, played with the precious jewels in it, smiled with a smile on his face, and said proudly: "Chen Yingliang is just a common man.  That¡¯s it.¡±
