While Li Jiancheng was still on his way back to the camp, news spread from the Taiyuan Army camp first. It was said that Li Er's troops led by Zhu Can and Liang Jianfang suddenly gathered in front of the gate of the east camp of the Taiyuan Army, claiming to have received orders from General Li Er to arrive at Dingyang. They listened to orders outside the military camp and asked to leave the camp through the east gate. However, Yin Kaishan, Wang Gui and others who stayed in the camp did not dare to take the decision without Li Jiancheng's order. They could only temporarily prohibit Zhu Can, Liang Jianfang and other confidants from leaving the camp while sending people Come and ask Li Jiancheng for instructions. If there weren¡¯t other outsiders watching, Li Jiancheng would definitely rather fight a civil war than seize his second brother¡¯s troops. He would also have Zhu Can, Liang Jianfang and other Li Er¡¯s confidants cut into pieces with a thousand knives and executed in Lingchi! But it doesn't work now, not to mention that Chen Sangliang, the enemy who killed his father, is still not far away and is watching. The Taiyuan Army cannot tolerate any civil strife. Even the Dingyang Army will never allow Li Jiancheng to detain Li Er's men. If you are not careful, your allies may turn against you. So after much thought and hesitation, Li Jiancheng still shouted loudly: "Let them get out! Get away as far as possible!" I have never seen the gentle Li Jiancheng so angry. The messenger sent by Yin Kaishan, Wang Gui and others The soldiers were obedient and quickly rushed back to the east gate of the Taiyuan Army to deliver the order to allow Li Er's troops to leave. Li Jiancheng, with a livid face, beat his horse and went straight back to his army camp. After striding into his Chinese army's tent, Li Jiancheng kicked over the tables in the tent, fell down on his commander's seat and sulked. His face was so hideous that the guards in the tent were so frightened that they refused to even take a breath. Finally, after Yin Kaishan, Wang Gui, Yang Wenqian and others entered the tent, there was a sound in the Chinese army's tent. However, Yin Kaishan and others looked obviously flustered. They didn't care to take a closer look at Li Jiancheng's expression and asked anxiously: " Commander Left, what happened? Why did Commander Right send troops out of the camp at night? How come we didn¡¯t know anything about this beforehand?¡± Li Jiancheng remained silent, and his expression became even more gloomy and scary. Yin Kaishan and others finally saw the situation. No, after looking at each other in surprise, Wang Gui asked cautiously: "Captain Zuo, what happened? Why is your face so ugly?" "I have a good brother!" Li Jiancheng finally spoke. , and sighed loudly: "Young brother Ying Liang is indeed a wise man, and his words are true to his prophecy. This good brother of mine is indeed not a good person!" After sighing, Li Jiancheng sent himself and Li Er on a mission After roughly telling what happened to Dingyang Army, Yin Kaishan, Wang Gui and others became more stunned and unbelievable the more they listened. Finally, when they heard Li Er threaten in disguise to let Dingyang Army detain Li Jiancheng, Yin Kaishan The two generals Kaishan and Yang Wenqian suddenly stood up, and they both shouted angrily: "Rebellion! Li Shimin is rebellious! He is crawling inside and out! Killing each other!" Roaring, Yang Wenqian, who was furious, immediately raised his hands to Li Jiancheng and said: " Commander Zuo, please let the last general lead the army out of the camp to capture the traitor Li Shimin for you!" Li Jiancheng raised his head and glanced at Yang Wenqian, looked at his angry and bloodshot eyes and asked with a wry smile: "What if Yang Jun is defeated because of this? What if we start a war with Dingyang Army? What if Chen Yingliang takes the opportunity to send troops? " Yang Wengan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he must not fall out with Dingyang Army now, otherwise he would just be watching the Dongguo River. After the dazed Chen Sangliang came to his senses, Yang Wengan hurriedly asked Li Jiancheng: "Commander Zuo, what should we do? We can't really let Ding Yang's bandit army enter Taiyuan City, can we? It's easy to send God away if you ask for help. It is difficult to let the Dingyang rebel army enter Taiyuan City. It will be extremely difficult to drive them away in the future. " Li Jiancheng remained silent again. Now there is still hope for Li Jiancheng to repent and can immediately lead his own troops. Withdrew into Taiyuan City, and at the same time broke his promise and refused to let Dingyang's army enter the city. However, in addition to turning against Liu Wuzhou, it would also definitely make another ally Dou Jiande and potential ally Luo Yi feel wary and unwilling to send any more troops to Taiyuan. The arrival of reinforcements made the Taiyuan army even more alone and unable to withstand Chen Sangliang's butcher knife. In addition, if there is a slight mistake during the hasty retreat and they are forced to fight the angry Dingyang army, the consequences will only be more unimaginable. Being tricked by Li Eryan, Li Jiancheng, who was a little weak in his bones, thought about it over and over again, and finally said helplessly: "The matter has come to this, and we can only drink another glass of poisonous wine to quench our thirst. Anyway, if we can't defeat Chen Yingliang, we It doesn't matter whether Dingyang's army is allowed to enter Taiyuan City. If Chen Yingliang can be driven back, then Changle King Dou Jiande can be relied on. With his help, there is no need to be too afraid of Liu Wuzhou taking the opportunity to take action. " Yin Kaishan and Wang Gui were silent. Yang Wenqian gritted his teeth, but everyone knew that Li Jiancheng's choice was made out of helplessness, and that he chose the lesser of more harm, so they could only accept Li Jiancheng's decision with humiliation. Li Jiancheng first ordered the army to immediately prepare for a retreat, preparing to abandon the camp and withdraw into the city with the Dingyang army at the third watch. He also sent people back to the city to contact Pei Ji, Feng Li and others to prepare them for the reception.??Prepare, and then Li Jiancai said in his heart: "With the second brother's character, after arriving in Yuci, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to contact Dou Jiande first to please Dou Jiande and establish friendship with him. Regarding this, how should I deal with this?" ?¡± When Li Jiancheng was thinking nervously, and the Taiyuan Army officers were also hurriedly preparing to break camp and retreat, something strange happened again. A guard suddenly rushed into the Chinese army¡¯s tent and presented a chicken-feathered newspaper with both hands. In front of Li Jiancheng, he loudly said: "To the Governor, the urgent report has just been sent from Jingxing Pass. The messenger fainted as soon as he entered the camp, so the villain reported it on his behalf." "The report was sent from Jingxing Pass? Dou Jiande Are the reinforcements coming?" Li Jiancheng raised his head quickly, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his almost dead chest. He quickly took the newspaper and opened it. Li Jiancheng was so nervous and excited that his hands could not help but tremble. However, he finally opened the newspaper carefully. When he took a look, Li Jiancheng was completely stunned. He was so distracted that he didn't even notice that the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground. "Captain Zuo, what happened again?" Wang Gui, who was helping Li Jiancheng pack up documents in the tent, asked quickly. Li Jiancheng remained silent again. After a long time, Li Jiancheng suddenly picked up the newspaper and stood up. He said expressionlessly: "Gear me a horse, I want to go to the Dingyang Army camp again!" Look at the situation here at the Dingyang Army camp. After Li Jiancheng left the Dingyang Army camp dejectedly, Li Er, who betrayed his brother for glory, was naturally drowned in the huge enthusiasm of the Dingyang Army generals. Out of his respect for Li Er With appreciation and gratitude, Liu Wuzhou not only immediately sent someone to prepare the thousand war horses promised to Li Er, but also called Liu Xiaomou, the baby sister promised to Li Er, to the Chinese army's tent so that she could see her fianc¨¦ Li Er again. As a result, Liu Xiaomou, who had already fallen asleep and was woken up by someone, was already very unhappy. When he saw Li Er in the tent, the expression on Liu Xiaomou's pretty face naturally became even worse. He asked Liu Wuzhou directly: "Brother "If you have anything to say, I'm sleepy and I have to go back to sleep." "Little sister, I'm sorry, you can't rest tonight." Liu Wuzhou said with a smile: "We have to move to Taiyuan City overnight, so you need to go back to sleep tonight." I can't sleep anymore and want to rest. When I get to Taiyuan City, I will prepare a good house for you in the city and arrange a few more maids to serve you to rest. " "We are going into the city?" Liu Xiaomou was surprised. , hurriedly asked: "Brother, didn't you say before that Li Jiancheng was stingy and didn't want us to enter the city?" "This is all thanks to Erlang." Liu Wuzhou smiled very happily and pointed to Li Er standing aside, He said with a smile: "It was Erlang who urged his brother to allow us to station in the city. Erlang was not afraid of violence and volunteered to lead an army to move to Yuci, so that we could become enemies with each other and contain the main force of the Chen thieves from the outside. Sister, how are you? The husband I chose for you is a rare hero, right? Erlang, Erlang, you are leaving soon. If you have anything to say to my sister, Liu Xiaomou deliberately said. He never glanced at Li Er, but Li Er kept looking at Liu Xiaomou, admiring her sleepy beauty just after being woken up, and her beautiful body, and thinking about how long it would take for him to die To be able to hold such a enchanting little beauty in his arms legally and rationally and wantonly invade and possess her, Li Er, who had not touched a woman for a long time, was inevitably itching in his heart. He just wished that tonight was the wedding night between himself and Liu Xiaomou, so he could take her right now. This little beauty was holding her down and was acting wildly. Thinking of this, Li Er was a little distracted for a moment, so it wasn't until Liu Wuzhou opened his mouth to call that Li Er came back to his senses, hurriedly saluted Liu Xiaomou, and said in a very graceful manner: "Xiaomu Xianmei, Brother Yu will be here soon. We are going to lead the army to Yuci. The next time we meet, we have to wait until after the Chen thieves have been defeated. "You should take care of yourself." Liu Xiaomou glanced at Li Er with great contempt, and Liu Xiaomou showed a smile as delicate as a flower, which he had never seen before. Li Er, who had never received a good look in front of Liu Xiaomou, was in a state of elation, but he never thought that Liu Xiaomou would move his cherry lips and suddenly spit out venom. He said with a smile: "It may not be possible. If you want to meet me again, you must come back alive first." Li Er Erlang's expression was dull, but Liu Wuzhou immediately shouted: "Xiaomu, what are you talking about? Erlang is about to go on an expedition, don't say unlucky words!" "Am I talking nonsense?" Liu Xiaomou sneered and said, "This Li Erlang has been here these two days. Brother, haven't you seen the performance on the battlefield? Didn't you get beaten up by Uncle Li and run for his life? Even Uncle Li couldn't defeat him. How do you still expect him to contain Chen Yingliang's main force? If you fall in love with Chen Yingliang, it won't be that easy even if you want to escape. " Liu Wuzhou and Li Erlang looked extremely embarrassed. They couldn't find anything to say in reply to Liu Xiaomou, but Liu Xiaomou yawned again and said, "What does Chen Thief say every time he fights? I must first send an envoy to create a wedge, saying that I want to find the old thief to settle old accounts and new accounts. I am too lazy to listen to these braggings. Isn't it right to enter the city?Okay, I'll go back and get ready. " After saying that, Liu Xiaomou really turned around and left, but Li Er couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Xianmei, please wait a moment. Since Xianmei, you think Brother Yu is an incompetent braggart, then Brother Yu will make you another promise. , within three days of moving to Yuci, my brother will definitely send you good news, and at least win a battle and severely injure Chen Yingliang! " With her back to Li Er, Liu Xiaomou covered her mouth and smiled, her flowers trembling with joy, and said: "Do you think I will still believe it? Also, I heard that you are also a young man from an aristocratic family, so you have some education, okay? Learn from Chen Yingliang's politeness and demeanor. Don't always call people traitors and common people behind their backs. No matter how harsh the curse is, can it hurt a single hair on his head? " Smiling delicately, Liu Xiaomou walked away without holding his head high, leaving Li Er gnashing his teeth and roaring in his heart, "It's because I never had the chance to confront Thief Chen, either because I was tied up by my father or brother, or because I was tied up by my father or brother. The power disparity is too far to fight! This time I don't believe it. The traitor Chen Yingliang can leave Taiyuan alone and come to beat me with his main force! Besides that shameless traitor, who else in the world can be my opponent? ! " Liu Xiaomou was so unhappy about such a wish-fulfilling move to Taiyuan City. Liu Wuzhou was also a little embarrassed, but luckily, at this time, it happened that Zhu Can, Liang Jianfang and others led Li Er's headquarters to Dingyang Army. The news outside the west gate of the camp directly proved that Li Jiancheng had surrendered. Liu Wuzhou and Li Er then turned from anger to joy. Then Liu Wuzhou naturally hurriedly asked the army to break camp and retreat. Li Er also hurriedly organized his army to accept the war horses presented by Liu Wuzhou. While everyone was busy, something happened again. The messenger suddenly reported that Li Jiancheng had come to the gate of the Dingyang Army camp again and asked to meet Liu Wuzhou and others at the camp gate. Liu Wuzhou was surprised at first and asked quickly. Did Li Jiancheng bring soldiers and horses? After learning that Li Jiancheng only brought more than 20 cavalry, Liu Wuzhou felt relieved and hurriedly led a group of guards out of the camp, all the way until he met Li Jiancheng in front of the military camp. , Li Jiancheng had a very complicated expression on his face, and he said to Liu Wuzhou straight to the point: "Brother Wu Zhou, out of loyalty to our allies, I am here to tell you bad news this time, and I am also here to ask you for the last time, are you still willing to follow me? Entering Taiyuan City? If you are still willing to stay in Taiyuan with me, I will fully support your food expenses in Taiyuan until we finish all the food in Taiyuan! " "What do you mean by this, dear brother?" Liu Wuzhou was stunned at first, then he came to his senses and asked hurriedly: "Brother Xian, has something happened?" " Li Jiancheng nodded, handed the Tangbao he just received to Liu Wuzhou, and said: "In the Jingxingguan emergency Tangbao just received, Luo Yiyizhi accepted Chen Yingliang's canonization as King of Yan, swore to serve Chen Yingliang, and has also Send troops to Hengshan County to block Dou Jiande's way of rescuing us. The envoy I sent to seek help from Luo Yi has also been imprisoned by Luo Yi and is ready to be presented to Chen Yingliang as a meeting gift. " "Luo, Luo Yi has switched sides? " Liu Wuzhou couldn't believe his ears. He quickly took the Tang newspaper from Li Jiancheng. When he opened it with trembling and took a closer look, Liu Wuzhou's face immediately turned pale, because it was clearly written on the Tang newspaper. , Luo Yi had indeed changed sides, sworn allegiance to Chen Sangliang, and sent troops to Hengshan County first, not giving Dou Jiande a chance to rescue Taiyuan! Then, Liu Wuzhou immediately yelled like crazy, "Luo Yi! Are you crazy or stupid? You should let the good local emperor of Zhuojun go, but you want to be Chen Yingliang's lackey! You still turn against us at this critical moment and stab us in the back the hardest! " "Perhaps Luo Yi was waiting for this opportunity. He turned against Chen Yingliang at this time. The favor he sold to Chen Yingliang was the biggest. Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly and asked: "Brother Wu Zhou, how about you, are you still willing to follow me into the city?" " It was Liu Wuzhou's turn to look extremely ugly, and he subconsciously checked the Tang newspaper carefully. Li Jiancheng was aware of his thoughts and took the initiative to say: "Brother Wu Zhou, this Tang newspaper came by chance. You suspect that my younger brother has forged it. It's human nature to intimidate you, and I don't blame you. You can also decide that this newspaper is a forgery, and I will still keep my promise and invite you to settle in Taiyuan East City, but after entering the city, don't regret it. " Liu Wuzhou knew what Li Jiancheng meant very well. Knowing that Li Jiancheng was reminding him to enter Taiyuan City at this time, it would be difficult for him to get a chance to leave the city. He was almost destined to be caught in the trap by Chen Sangliang and destroy the Dingyang Army and the Taiyuan Army in one go! So after hesitating and calculating for a moment, Liu Wuzhou quickly said: "Brother Jiancheng, since we can no longer count on Dou Jiande's reinforcements in a short period of time, we might as well follow your wishes and lead the army eastward to station in Yuci for my brother's sake. You become horns with each other, rescue each other, and work together to fight against the army of thieves! If Thief Chen builds a dam and attacks with water, I promise to send troops to rescue you, brother! " "Then please leave it to my brother. Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Although Yuci is small, the cityIt was still strong. Chen Yingliang had always been afraid of attacking fortresses. As long as his brother blocked the city gates during the war, his artillery would be rendered useless! If the elder brother can rely on the city to frustrate the enemy's energy, and the younger brother can also choose the opportunity to attack behind his grain road, our two armies will not have no chance of winning! " "Then it's settled. Liu Wuzhou spoke faster and said: "Yuci is far away and may be pursued by the enemy. Brother, I will send troops eastward at the second half of the watch. How about I trouble you to hold the camp until half of the third watch and then withdraw the troops?" " "Before the fourth update, unless Chen Yingliang breaks through our camp, my little brother will never leave the camp! Li Jiancheng said calmly: "At least buy my brother an hour and a half." " A good reputation is a good thing. Knowing that Li Jiancheng was a kind man and never deceived his friends, Liu Wuzhou was overjoyed and immediately thanked Li Jiancheng again and again, and hastily agreed on how to contact him in the future. Then the two of them said goodbye and went back to prepare for the withdrawal of troops. As a result It was also at this time that Liu Wuzhou suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked Li Jiancheng: "Brother Xian, what should Erlang do? Are you asking him to return to Taiyuan? Or let him go with you to Yuci? " "It's up to him to choose. Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "If he is willing to go to Yuci with you, brother, you don't mind, brother, of course you can take him with you and let him listen to your orders." If he wants to go back to Taiyuan, of course that's fine, just ask him to come find me himself. " Having said that, Li Jiancheng bowed his hand and quickly returned to his army camp to organize the retreat without looking back. Like Liu Xiaomou, he deliberately did not even look at his brother Li Er who was hurriedly coming after receiving the news, leaving Liu Wuzhou behind. He smiled bitterly on the spot and said to himself: "It's strange that Li Erlang dares to go back to Taiyuan again, but this guy's heart is too poisonous. He would even betray his own brother to please me. In the future, he will definitely dare to betray me too in order to please others!" ¡± Then, of course, it was our second brother Li¡¯s turn to be dumbfounded. He snatched the Jingxing Guantang newspaper from Liu Wuzhou¡¯s hand in disbelief and turned it over and over under the light of the torch to carefully distinguish the true from the false. Unfortunately, second brother Li quickly despaired. After discovering that this Tang newspaper was indeed written by Li Daliang, the guard at Jingxing Pass, and the ink had dried completely, it didn't look like it had just been forged. Then, Brother Li felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind was spinning. There was only one thought left, "It's no use being an evil person. It's no use being an evil person. If I had known that Luo Yi would switch sides and restrain Dou Jiande on behalf of the traitor Chen Yingliang, I shouldn't have offended Li Jiancheng to death just now!" " "Erlang, your brother just said that you can stay or stay as you choose. Liu Wuzhou smiled bitterly and said: "He said, if you are willing to go to Yuci with me, just follow my orders and go to Yuci together. If you want to return to Taiyuan, you can go to him to discuss it yourself." You don't have much time, you decide quickly. " Li Er was even more stunned. After finally coming back to his senses, Li Er immediately knelt down on one knee to Liu Wuzhou and said loudly: "I am willing to listen to my brother's orders and go with him to Yuci to defend against the enemy! " "good. "Liu Wuzhou still had some conscience, and he immediately nodded and agreed to Li Er's request, and then said: "Withdraw the troops at half watch, and you will lead the rear. " "No! "Li Er clasped his fists and agreed without hesitation, and then said cautiously: "But brother, I only have about 2,000 people left in my headquarters. For the sake of the safety of the army, can you send an army to work with me " "I asked Huang Ziying to walk at the end of our army and let him be ready to assist you at any time. "Liu Wuzhou interrupted Li with a smile, and said: "Also, time is urgent, and the thousand war horses are handed over to you now. You won't be able to find so many cavalry for a while, so it is better for our army to carry them first. Well, I'll give it to you when I get to Yuci. how? " Hearing this, Li Er's face was of course as ugly as possible. He was very unhappy in his heart, but he still clasped his fists obediently and said, "What brother said is absolutely true, and this is what should be done. "
