I'm a Buddhist foster child
Chapter 88: This Is Fate
Cheng Wenji escaped from the Sui camp and struggled to paddle the boat. He was the only one, and Chen’s barracks was far away. The boat went down the river. At first, it went smoothly, but there was a strong wind on the water, and the boat was blown away by the strong wind. Not to mention, it is still spinning in place, wishing it could be like a spinning top.
It can be said that Cheng Wenji went through untold hardships and finally returned to the original camp of Chen Ren, but he took a closer look and saw that the fire was extinguished and collapsed on the ground. There were still traces of camping on the ground, but it was obvious that the camp had moved.
Cheng Wenji stood blankly on the "ruins" of the camp, feeling depressed and hungry. He stood there for a while, pulled himself together, and searched the camp to see if there was anything he could use. I found some food, packed it all in the boat, and continued to paddle.
Chen Ren was defeated in the first battle, probably because he felt that the camp was no longer safe, so he chose to retreat and re-plan the camp.
According to what Cheng Wenji knew about Chen Jun, he started rowing again along the current, and continued to head east. After several days passed like this, the wind became stronger and stronger, and Cheng Wenji's collected food was eaten up.
Cheng Wenji felt a little cold in his heart, he didn't expect to escape from the Sui army's barracks with difficulty, but ended up dying in the water...
Cheng Wenji thought so, but he failed to realize that there is no unparalleled road. Instead, he realized that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the sky suddenly started to rain, with lightning and thunder, strong winds on the water, and the boat was overwhelmed, "Boom——" With a loud noise, the boat was crushed, the hull leaked, and there was no way to make up for it. Cheng Wenji and the boat were swallowed by the flood. With such a big wave, even if he could swim, Cheng Wenji couldn't struggle, and disappeared in the gust of wind. And in the water of anger...
"General, look, there are enemy ships over there!"
"The appearance of that ship must be an enemy ship!"
"The enemy ship was overturned by the water and sunk."
"With such a heavy wind and rain, why did the enemy ship come alone? Could it be to spy on the military situation?"
Wu Mingche personally led troops to patrol and survey the terrain in the wind and rain. He happened to see a small boat being swallowed by the wind and waves. Because the wind and rain were so strong that it almost obscured his eyes, Wu Mingche couldn't see who was on the small boat at all, but what is certain is that , the shape of the small boat is indeed the small boat of the Sui people, which is very different from their boats.
"No, why does the person who fell into the water look so much like a major general?"
"Yeah, it looks so much like Major General Cheng!"
Wu Mingche was taken aback, and when he said it, he also felt very similar, and quickly shouted: "Quick! Save people!"
The soldiers of the Chen people swarmed up, rushed to the water's edge, paddled the boat forward, swaying in the wind and rain, a soldier tied a rope around his waist, jumped into the water to save people, and when he fished it out, it was indeed Cheng Wenji!
"Major General!"
"Quick, carry it in! Call the military doctor!"
"Military doctor!! Medical officer—"
Everyone hurriedly carried Cheng Wenji into the barracks, quickly lit a fire, and called the medical officer to rescue him. Fortunately, Cheng Wenji fell into the water not long ago, so he was discovered in time.
When other generals in the army heard that Cheng Wenji was back, they all ran over immediately. It happened that Cheng Wenji also woke up and thought he was going to die. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Wu Mingche by accident.
Cheng Wenji saw Wu Mingche and said excitedly, "General!"
Wu Mingche quickly supported him and said, "Good nephew! As long as you're fine! As long as you're fine! You're back!"
At that time, Wu Mingche was almost captured. Cheng Wenji drove a gold-finned boat and rushed past him recklessly. He was about to fight the Sui mermaid. , the army was finished, so Wu Mingche gritted his teeth, turned his head and left cruelly.
After Wu Mingche left, he was full of self-blame and always wanted to save Cheng Wenji, but there was no way out, unexpectedly Cheng Wenji came back by himself.
"Major General, how did you escape?"
"Yeah! How did you escape?"
"What about the other soldiers? What about the other captured soldiers?"
Only Cheng Wenji escaped alone, and the other soldiers were still captured.
When the other generals heard this, they couldn't help but frowned and said, "The major general escaped alone?"
"It's not that the humble general talks too much. The Sui people are heavily guarded, and even the Sui Lord himself went out to fight. How can the major general escape alone? The security of the Sui people's camp won't be so relaxed?"
Cheng Wenji's face froze, they didn't know how much they had suffered along the way, Cheng Wenji frowned and said, "What do you mean?!"
"The humble general doesn't mean anything else, just worry more than others. Marching and fighting, it's not a bad thing to worry more."
"Yes, yes, how did the major general escape? Why didn't you see other soldiers? This..."
Wu Mingche frowned. He believed in Cheng Wenji. After all, Cheng Wenji tried his best to save him, and he was a junior who knew everything. How could Wu Mingche not believe him? But in the current situation, we must ask clearly.
Cheng Wenji had no choice but to tell the story of Quan Jingxuan letting him out from the beginning to the end, and said: "That's what happened, the Sui people were at odds, and Quan Jingxuan refused to accept his nephew as a favor, so he let me go on purpose. , I squatted among the weeds for a whole night before I found the right time to leave."
The generals nodded their heads, but some people still had doubts: "What the Major General said is reasonable, but how can we prove that Quan Jingxuan and his nephew Quan Zhuoyu are at odds? We only heard what the Major General said, the Sui people There was no such news.”
"You..." Cheng Wenji stared angrily. He was still a newborn calf, so his tongue was a little stupid, and he said, "How do you want me to prove it!"
"Don't be impatient, Major General," someone said, "Actually, it's not that we are embarrassing the Major General. Maybe the Major General hasn't heard of it yet..."
"What did you hear?" Cheng Wenji asked.
"I heard... about the governor of Yingzhou."
"What's wrong with my father?!" Cheng Wenji struggled to support his tired body, and said anxiously: "What's wrong with my father? Did the Sui people go to Yingzhou? No, no, it shouldn't be so fast. If you go to Xiakou, if you hit Yingzhou, you will definitely pass by us..."
Some generals sneered and said, "Hmph, the major general looks alike! It seems like he really doesn't know!"
Some people also said: "Maybe the major general really doesn't know."
"I think he's just pretending!"
Wu Mingche heard the noise of the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, shut up! Now is not the time to be suspicious of each other!"
Cheng Wenji said in amazement: "General! What happened to my father? What happened!"
Wu Mingche sighed and said: "Nephew, don't be impatient, the governor of Yingzhou is very good, and there is nothing wrong... However, we just got the news that the governor of Yingzhou accepted bribes from the Sui people and has already negotiated with the Sui people." Together, we are ready to open the door to meet the enemy, and offer our hands to Yingzhou."
"Impossible!" Cheng Wenji knew very well that his father was an old-fashioned man, so how could he accept bribes from the Sui people?
The general who sneered before said: "Impossible? If the governor of Yingzhou hadn't communicated with the Sui people, how could the major general have escaped from the heavily guarded Sui army camp? Thinking about it is impossible. If the major general can escape, we Why can’t the captured soldiers escape? Only the young general escaped alone, hum! I see, the young general is afraid that he is here to spy on our military situation, so we have to guard against it!”
"You fart!!" Cheng Wenji was naturally fearless. Hearing the man's sarcasm and sarcasm, and worrying about his father and Yingzhou's comfort, he pointed to the general's nose angrily and said, "I, Cheng Wenji, sit upright. !"
The general said: "The major general speaks empty teeth, and the humble general is just guessing. Why is the major general so angry? Yes, could it be that the humble general exposed the truth and became angry from embarrassment?"
Everyone whispered and looked at Cheng Wenji with strange eyes.
Cheng Wenji is an outspoken person, and he can't stand others looking at him like this, so he said to Wu Mingche, "General! Since my colleagues don't trust the humble general, it's very good. The humble general is willing to lead the troops to fight against the Sui people and issue military orders. If it is still impossible to defeat the Sui people, the humble general is willing to use the head on his neck to pay homage to my Dachen Yaqi!"
Wu Mingche knew Cheng Wenji's character very well, and Wu Mingche would never believe that he was a traitor, but now he is marching, and the morale of the army is also very important, so it must be stable.
Cheng Wenji personally invited the battle. If he could win, he would be able to wash away his grievances. Wu Mingche thought about it, and he was more optimistic about Cheng Wenji on weekdays. Wu Mingche didn't refuse either, so he said, "Okay, as you say."
With firm eyes, Cheng Wenji said, "Thank you, General!"
……
Cheng Wenji had been released, and Yang Jian held a court meeting in the shogunate tent to discuss the matter of fighting against Chen Jun.
Yang Jian sat on the table and said leisurely: "Now that Cheng Xiaohu has been sent away, if Cheng Xiaohu hadn't died on the way, he should have returned to the army by now. Presumably, there must be constant suspicion among Chen's army."
Indeed, Yang Zan, king of Teng, has let out rumors that Cheng Lingxi, the governor of Yingzhou, is in cahoots with them, and there is no distinction between you and me. Because of this, the Sui people let Cheng Wenji go on purpose. After all, Cheng Wenji is Cheng Lingxi's favorite. How can Cheng Lingxi lose his beloved son with high hopes?
Yang Zan's writing style was astonishing, and when word spread, the public opinion quickly swept across the sky and covered Chen Jun like a flood. In this way, Cheng Wenji's return to Chen Jun would inevitably be questioned, which is also a reasonable thing.
In addition, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even in the army, there are intrigues. Cheng Wenji is young and has already been highly regarded by Wu Mingche. Many veterans will definitely think that Cheng Wenji is a rich kid who went through the back door, so he can get mixed up in the army. If you are not jealous, who is he jealous of?Don't take advantage of this time to seriously injure him twice. Anyway, it doesn't cost money to frame others, just a touch of two lips, how simple.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "According to Cheng Xiaohu's fiery temperament, he must want to wash away his grievances. What do you think he will do?"
Quan Zhuoxuan was still wearing the tiger mask, his eyes hidden behind the mask narrowed, and he said with a sneer, "Lead the troops personally to meet our army."
When Quan Zhuoyu said this, Yang Zan suddenly felt a faint gaze staring at him. It was a faint gaze. When he looked back, it turned out to be his second brother Yang Zheng. Some sons are resentful, which is very similar to the "resentful woman in the boudoir" in the poems, almost the same.
Yang Zan's eyelids twitched wildly, it must be because the second brother saw the tiger mask on Quan Zhuoxuan's face...
Yang Zan just lent it to Quan Zhuoyu, and actually wanted to get it back. Although this mask is far from the cat mask he wanted, it was still the second brother's wish, and the second brother can be regarded as a "strength favorite brother" So Yang Zan actually cherishes this mask very much.
how...
But these days, the war is tense, all the blacksmiths are dealing with weapons, and there is no time to make masks. Quan Zhuoxuan's mask has been delayed again and again, so he has to wear Yang Zan's tiger mask.
Yang Zan pressed his twitching eyelids, pretended not to see, and turned back immediately.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "That's right, Cheng Xiaohu will definitely take the initiative to lead the army in order to retaliate against us, so the next battle is very crucial, as long as we win this battle, Cheng Xiaohu's crime of traitor may be confirmed. .”
Everyone was "horrified", thinking in unison, the host is worthy of being the host, clever and resourceful, which is rare in the world.
On the other hand, Yang Guang thought to himself, father deserves to be father, and as always, he will not leave any room for cheating people.
Yang Jian said: "In this battle, we must not lose... General Zhenjun."
"The humble general is here!"
Yang Jian said again: "General Quan."
"The humble general is here!"
Quan Zhuoxuan and Quan Jingxuan stood up and clasped their hands together, waiting for Yang Jian to speak.
The corners of Yang Jian's lips twitched slightly, revealing a full "evil charm and madness", or a full-fledged smile, and said: "It's time for you to perform."
Yang Jian's plan was actually very simple. Quan Jingxuan let go of Cheng Wenji. According to Cheng Wenji's temperament, he should have [-]% trust in Quan Jingxuan, but Cheng Wenji returned to the camp. His trust level will inevitably plummet, and now there are at most [-]% left.
Yang Jian asked Quan Jingxuan to take the initiative to contact Cheng Wenji. It was still the same old way, saying that Quan Jingxuan was not convinced by his nephew, and that Quan Zhuoxuan was still going to fight in this battle, so he wanted to sabotage it.
Yang Jian's soldiers and horses traveled down the river from Jiangling to the vicinity of Dongting Lake, then turned back to the north, followed the current to Zhuankou in the north, passed through Zhuankou, entered Xiakou, passed through Xiakou, and entered the Yangtze River. Finally, it pointed directly at Jiankang, the capital of the Chen people, which is also called Nanjing in modern times.
Therefore, the route of the Sui army is very clear. Their next destination is Zhuankou, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely replenish supplies at Zhuankou.
If Quan Jingxuan found Cheng Wenji at this time and told Cheng Wenji the route of Quan Zhuojie's replenishment, as long as Cheng Wenji defeated Quan Zhuojie's supplies, the Sui army would collapse without a fight, why not?Cheng Wenji will definitely be moved.
At that time, as long as Yang Jian plays a game, he will invite you into the urn and beat Cheng Wenji to pieces. In the eyes of Chen people, it must be Cheng Wenji who took the initiative to give away the head. It's true.On the one hand, Chen Renzhou was defeated, and on the other hand, Cheng Lingxi, the governor of Yingzhou, could be brought down. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Quan Jingxuan said hesitantly: "This... the emperor also said that Cheng Wenji's trust in the humble general is only [-]%, if the humble general goes to inform, Cheng Wenji may not believe it either."
Yang Jian said quietly: "Don't worry, Cheng Xiaohu's temperament is easy to be baited. If you don't believe it the first time, you will definitely believe it the second time. There is no need for the third time."
Of course Cheng Wenji wouldn't take the bait the first time, and Yang Jian didn't expect him to.
Yang Jian said: "Go and report to Cheng Wenji. Although Cheng Wenji doesn't believe it, he will definitely send someone to investigate. Then the general of the town army will deliver grain and grass according to the content of the report. Cheng Wenji sees the general of the town army escorting the grain and grass. Confidence will inevitably rise back to [-]%, at this time General Quan will go to inform the second time, and when Cheng Xiaohu is completely convinced, it will be the day we catch the turtle in our urn."
Everyone suddenly realized that this is the case, it can be said that it is a series of tricks.
Quan Zhuoxuan immediately arranged for the delivery of grain and grass, while Quan Jingxuan immediately contacted Cheng Wenji.
Cheng Wenji returned to the barracks, although he was angry that the soldiers in the camp doubted him, but he also had doubts, could it be that Quan Jingxuan really had malicious intentions, on the one hand he let himself go, on the other hand he seriously hurt and criticized him, the purpose was to divide Chen Jun?
Cheng Wenji thought about it, but it was such a coincidence that Quan Jingxuan actually came to the door, saying that he wanted to meet Cheng Wenji in secret, Cheng Wenji rushed over immediately with his troops.
When they arrived at the place, Cheng Wenji gave an order and immediately surrounded Quan Jingxuan without any explanation. After a closer look, Quan Jingxuan came alone.
Quan Jingxuan frowned and said, "Young General Cheng, what does this mean? I let you go, but you are so kind and revengeful?"
Cheng Wenji said warily, "You came alone?"
Quan Jingxuan said, "Young General Cheng, what do you think?"
Cheng Wenji said again: "You did let me go, but you Sui people are cunning and spread the news of my father accepting bribes. Did you do it on purpose?"
Quan Jingxuan is a veteran. Although he is old and confused, he was awakened by Yang Jian recently. After this battle, he became much smarter. Isn't it easy to act in front of Cheng Wenji, a newborn calf?
Quan Jingxuan laughed, as if he was amused by Cheng Wenji, and said: "The governor of Yingzhou accepted bribes, I have also heard about it, but no matter how you look at it, it was not our Sui people who did it. The governor of Yingzhou was pulled down, isn't it? Do you have more benefits from your own people? Yingzhou is a fat vacancies. People who want to be governors are not counted in line. Our soldiers and horses are still floating in the water. How can we have time to manage Yingzhou or Yingzhou? of?"
Cheng Wenji's mind is shallow, and he doesn't have that much experience. When he heard Quan Jingxuan's words, he couldn't help but frowned. He felt that it made sense. Many generals in the army always spoke ill of themselves behind their backs, and even said that their father was either this or that. , Is it really the news from my own people?
Cheng Wenji shook his head vigorously to drive out these thoughts, now is not the time to be self-confident and doubt his own people.
Cheng Wenji said: "General Quan is here now, what are you talking about?"
"It's a big deal!" Quan Jingxuan said solemnly, "Young General Cheng must also know that that kid Quan Zhuoxuan has become the emperor's favorite. Right now, the emperor listens to him in everything. Whenever he is a favorite, there will be chaos. ! How can the old man see it?"
Cheng Wenji sneered in his heart, what favors or dislikes must be because this old guy thinks that the younger generation is better than him, so he hurt face and wanted to destroy it.
How could Quan Jingxuan fail to see Cheng Wenji's thoughtfulness, that's what he wanted, so he continued to say: "The emperor has entrusted Quan Zhuoyu to take over the old man's troops and take full charge of the navy. There were two supplies. The boy Quan Zhuoyu said that these two supplies are very important, and he will do it himself. In order to avoid being attacked by you Chen people, it is not appropriate to make it public. He will dress lightly and disguise himself as a merchant ship. Isn't this a great opportunity for General Cheng Shao? As long as Quan Zhuoxuan's supply team is attacked, the army will have no supplies, and it will still be a water battle. It’s a great time to catch Quan Zhuoxu alive!”
Cheng Wenji squinted his eyes and thought about it. His trust in Quan Jingxuan is only [-]%, which is not enough, but he asked, "When and where is the supply?"
Quan Jingxuan informed Cheng Wenji of the time and place, and said, "Young General Cheng, please don't let me down!"
Quan Jingxuan completed the task and left alone. Cheng Wenji was dubious, fearing that this was a trap, but it would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity.
Therefore, Cheng Wenji made a "tactful" decision to go to investigate. Anyway, the Sui Army supplied supplies twice, and the first time he went to investigate by himself, if it was true, it would be okay to dispatch the second time.
Cheng Wenji swiftly arranged the soldiers and horses, and with only a few people, went to investigate secretly.
The night was dark, Cheng Wenji hid in the reeds on the shore, waited for a long time, almost impatiently, thinking that the old man Quan Jingxuan really lied to him, luckily he didn't take the bait, just brought a small amount of The cronies came out to investigate. The terrain of this place is so complicated that hiding in reeds will definitely not be discovered.
Just when Cheng Wenji was about to retreat, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing, it was the sound of water, and the water suddenly became noisy.
ferry!
There is a ship coming.
Sure enough, it looked like a commercial ship, but Cheng Wenji recognized it at a glance. Isn't the person at the bow of the ship Quan Jingxuan's nephew, Quan Zhuoyu, the favorite minister of the Sui Emperor?
In the dark night, Quan Zhuoxuan was wearing a tiger mask, standing with his hands behind his back, accepting the baptism of the night wind, his skirt was fluttering, very eye-catching.
The merchant ship docked at the shore, and Quan Zhuojie took off his mask on purpose, and then disembarked with the disguised soldiers, who really came to supply supplies.
Quan Zhuoxu brought twenty soldiers in total, less than 50, and they were also responsible for transporting supplies and food.
When Cheng Wenji saw it, he regretted it a lot. If he had brought enough people, he could rush out and detain Quan Zhuoxuan at this time, and he could avenge his revenge that day.
Unfortunately……
Cheng Wenji felt unwilling, and said to the cronies beside him, "Let's go, let's give this kid Quan Zhuoxu some meeting gifts."
Quan Zhuoxuan and his team replenished supplies, Cheng Wenji never showed up, but Quan Zhuoxuan knew that Cheng Wenji must be observing in secret, so no drips could leak.Of course, he did come here to supply supplies, and after supplying some supplies, he boarded the merchant ship and headed back.
Quan Zhuojie's merchant ship was about to return to the Sui army camp, but at this moment...
"General of the Town Army!"
"The big thing is bad! Ship...ship...ship..."
Quan Zhuoxu narrowed his eyes hidden behind the tiger mask, and said in a cold voice, "How?!"
"The boat is leaking for no reason!"
"When the villain got out of the boat, he definitely checked it. No...no water leakage damage!"
Quan Zhuoyu's heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something, he said in a cold voice with icy scum, "Cheng, Wen, Ji!"
Yang Jian had already fallen asleep. After all, it was very dark, and there was a sudden noise outside the tent. The little bun Yang Guang was the first to be woken up by the noise, and turned over vigilantly, and ran out with short legs. Came back after a while.
Yang Jian was sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said, "Son, what's the matter? It's the middle of the night, what's your name Hun'er?"
Yang Guang's face was dark and his fleshy cheeks were sullen, and he said, "It's the distress signal from General Zhenjun."
"What!?" Yang Jian woke up instantly, and said, "It shouldn't be..."
Yang Jian felt that he had calculated everything, how could he be wrong, Cheng Wenji shouldn't have attacked Quan Zhuoxu the first time.
Yang Guang said: "It's not that the Chen people attacked me, but...the boat leaked."
"Leak... water?" Yang Jian was rarely surprised.
Yang Guang ordered the meat and said, "It must have been tampered with. The damage to the hull was not serious. When it was about to reach the shore, it leaked, and a distress signal was sent out. My son has sent two uncles to rescue him."
Yang Jian suddenly realized, and rubbed his forehead, it seems that Cheng Xiaohu also has a temper, deliberately playing a prank on Quan Zhuoxu.
While he was talking, the voice of "I'm back! I'm back!" came from outside. It was Yang Zheng and Yang Zan who brought people to rescue the leaking merchant ship and came back.
Yang Jian put on his clothes and took the little bun Yang Guang out of the emperor's camp to see the situation.
Go out and have a look, good guy, only good guy left!
Quan Zhuoxuan came back, his body was dripping with water, like a drowned rat, his hair on the temples was scattered, and the wet shawl fell down, it was in the middle of the night, and Quan Zhuoxuan was tall and thin, his appearance looked like a ghost ...
Quan Zhuoxun was so angry that he shook the water on his body vigorously and said, "Where is the food?! How about the food?"
The soldier said: "Go back to the general, [-]% of the grain and grass have been rescued, and the rest... soaked in water."
Quan Zhuoxu was even more angry, wiped the cold water on his face, and said viciously again: "Cheng Wenji, it is not a gentleman not to avenge this revenge!"
Yang Jian laughed unkindly at this time, Yang Guang helplessly grabbed Yang Jian's skirt with his small hands, Yang Jian coughed, and said, "Fortunately, only [-]% of the food and grass were lost, as long as everyone is fine." , can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Besides, General Zhenjun should thank Cheng Xiaohu."
"Why?" Quan Zhuoxu was puzzled.
Yang Jian raised his index finger with a smile, tapped his cheek, and said, "The general of the town army is not wearing a mask, but he speaks and behaves quite domineeringly."
Quan Zhuoxu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized, yes, the mask!
He fell into the water, and the tiger mask was also wet. It was not his own mask, but a borrowed one. Therefore, Quan Zhuoxuan was very careful not to damage it. After getting into the water, he immediately took off his coat and put the mask on. Wipe it clean, his sideburns have been dripping, so he didn't wear it again.
I don't know...
Just now, because of the atmosphere, Quan Zhuoyu spoke fluently, and directed the soldiers to rescue food and grass, without stuttering, and without any sense of fear.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "The mission is considered complete. Although spring has begun, it has not yet entered summer and the weather is cold. The general of the town army should hurry up and change into dry and loose clothes."
Quan Zhuoxu came to his senses and returned the tiger mask to Yang Zan. After confessing his guilt, he hurried to change his clothes.
Cheng Wenji didn't do anything for the first time, so Yang Jian asked Quan Jingxuan to go to Cheng Wenji again, this time to question Cheng Wenji why he didn't do anything.
Quan Jingxuan found Cheng Wenji, with a cold face and a reasonable look, he said, "Why didn't General Cheng do it?! Such a great opportunity was delayed by General Cheng!"
Cheng Wenji didn't trust Quan Jingxuan, so he didn't do anything. Not enough, his trust in Quan Jingxuan has improved a lot, from six points to nine points.
Quan Jingxuan began to "brainwash" Cheng Wenji again, saying: "There is only one last chance left. Quan Zhuoyu's fleet will go through Zhuankou to supply food and grass. This is the last chance for Major General Cheng to do it." You must know that Quan Zhuoxi is a favorite, now he is a very special pet, and he is always hugged wherever he goes, if this opportunity is also missed, hmph! The old man can only say that he was wrong!"
Cheng Wenji was brainwashed and pressured by him, and he trusted [-]% of Quan Jingxuan. After Quan Jingxuan left, he immediately organized soldiers and horses, preparing to bring his own men and go out to besiege Quan Jingxuan. Zhuo Xun.
Quan Zhuoxue's grain and grass, as well as Quan Zhuoxue himself, he will take back as a prisoner. In this way, he and his father's grievances will definitely be washed away!
When Quan Jingxuan came back from the outside, Yang Jian was already waiting. Quan Jingxuan immediately went to the shogunate to have an audience, cupped his hands and said, "See the Son of Heaven!"
Yang Jian smiled and said, "How?"
Quan Jingxuan smiled and said: "Going back to the Son of Heaven, the veteran cannot say that he is completely sure, but he is ninety-nine percent sure, so there should be no problem."
"Very good." Yang Jian said, "For the rest, we still need General Quan's help."
Quan Zhuoxuan is the bait, this time he can't bring too many soldiers and horses, at most [-] people, so the main force for the ambush needs to be led by Quan Jingxuan.
Quan Jingxuan's heart trembled when he heard Yang Jian's words, he felt a little bit emotional, and said with shame: "Old minister... this old minister is not worthy, Son of Heaven, this veteran minister has messed up the war and is not worthy of leading the army. Please invite the Son of Heaven..."
But Yang Jian cut him off and said, "General Quan, has he forgotten his ambition? The only one who can defeat the general is the general himself, not others. Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?"
When Quan Jingxuan heard this, the blood in his heart was boiling, and his eyes were a little red. He lost a battle. Not only did Yang Jian not blame him, but he trusted him so much. Quan Jingxuan felt that if he didn't throw away for Da Sui Blood spilled from the head is not worthy of being a human being!
Quan Jingxuan immediately knelt on the ground, knocked his head twice, and said sonorously: "The old minister swears to be loyal to the emperor! Please rest assured, the old minister will definitely bring back Cheng Wenji and Chen Jun!"
"Very good," Yang Jian nodded and said, "This is the General Quan I know."
Quan Jingxuan quickly went to prepare, his heart was unprecedentedly excited, Yang Guang sat on the table, shaking his little meaty legs leisurely, raised his eyebrows and said: "Father still knows how to win people's hearts as always."
Yang Jian corrected and said: "My son, how can this win people's hearts? This is called... knowing people and using them well, and employing them without doubt."
Yang Guang: "..." Father put all the gold on his face, so thick-skinned.
Cheng Wenji was sure to win this time, after arranging his troops, he went to Zhuankou to ambush according to the time and place Quan Jingxuan said.
Passing through Zhuankou is Xiakou, Chibi, and then into the Yangtze River. Therefore, before entering the Yangtze River, Zhuankou is very important, and it must be replenished before starting.
Cheng Wenji personally led the troops to ambush, and as the night grew thicker, he heard the soldiers whispering: "Young General, here we come..."
Cheng Wenji took a closer look, it's not so, on the edge of the dark sky and water, a black boat came driving, approached, Cheng Wenji could see clearly that standing on the boat was Quan Zhuoxi.
Quan Zhuoxu didn't wear a mask today, and he didn't know if it was to deceive others, after all, the mask was too eye-catching.
Cheng Wenji lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Don't act rashly, observe for a while."
"Yes."
On the merchant ship, Quan Zhuoxuan stood upright. Today he did not wear a mask, because Quan Zhuoxuan discovered that with or without a mask, he is himself, he is still himself, and the fear he wants to overcome is not imposed on him by outsiders After thinking about it, Quan Zhuoxu suddenly wasn't so afraid of showing his face in front of everyone.
Quan Zhuoxuan stood facing the wind, the strong wind tore at his skirt, and he flew up and down.
The soldier disguised as a businessman said in a low voice, "General Zhenjun, we have spotted Chen's troops."
Quan Zhuoyu said calmly: "Don't act rashly, there are a lot of reeds around, unless Chen Jun takes the initiative to attack, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find all Chen Jun."
"Yes."
Cheng Wenji secretly observed for a long time, seeing that Quan Zhuoyu's merchant ship was about to dock, if he didn't attack at this time, there was no guarantee that the Sui people would escape after they docked.
Cheng Wenji gritted his teeth, straightened up abruptly, and shouted loudly, "Send troops!!"
"send troops!!"
"kill--!"
The Chen people immediately rushed out from the reeds, as well as their hidden boat masters, soldiers and horses, all rushed out.
Because it was an ambush, Cheng Wenji chose smaller and more convenient boats. Small boats poured out from all directions, surrounded like ants densely, and instantly surrounded Quan Zhuoxi's boat in the center.
Quan Zhuoxuan's ship was slightly larger than theirs, it was a merchant ship, but it was not that big, and the besieged had nowhere to escape.
Surrounded by Chen's torches, Cheng Wenji sneered and said, "Quan Zhuoyu, let's see where you are going!"
Quan Zhuoxue stood on top of the merchant ship, he didn't wear a mask, and he didn't know if it was because the merchant ship was relatively tall, which made Quan Zhuoxue feel condescending.
The corners of Quan Zhuoyu's lips twitched slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face, and he said faintly, "Run? Who said Ben was going to run away?"
Cheng Wenji sneered and said, "When you are about to die, you do have backbone."
"Death?" Quan Zhuoyu said lightly, "Well said, I want to see who is dying."
As soon as his words fell, the surrounding water suddenly became noisy. Cheng Wenji frowned immediately, and saw the dark water constantly fluctuating. There was a tendency of a storm coming. The distant sky was suddenly lit up, and flames continued In the sky, in comparison, Chen Ren's torch is really not worth seeing, and it is almost swallowed by the light that fills the sky like daytime.
Battleship!
It was the warships of the Sui people, coming one by one, approaching them.
Cheng Wenji thumped in his heart, feeling that the situation was wrong, but it was already too late.The warships that the Sui people drove were all large ships, specially used for combat, but they chose light and small boats for ambushes and sneak attacks, so there was no comparison at all.
Cheng Wenji recognized the warship coming, the person standing on the bow was not Quan Zhuoxuan's uncle Quan Jingxuan?
Cheng Wenji's heart seemed to be poured with hot oil, and he was so shocked that he said, "Quan Jingxuan?!"
Quan Jingxuan, dressed in black armor, commanded the warship and said, "Surround!"
Although the warship was huge, Quan Jingxuan was a veteran. In addition, Quan Zhuoyu's sailing route was planned long ago, so it was very convenient. The warship quickly surrounded Cheng Wenji's small boats. In this way, Cheng Wenji's army It was simply being attacked from the inside out.
Cheng Wenji said angrily: "Quan Jingxuan, you lied to me!"
Quan Zhuoxu said quietly: "Who told you to be easy to deceive?"
"You!" Cheng Wenji was too angry to speak.
Quan Zhuoxuan said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to fight or surrender?"
Cheng Wenji was so angry that his lungs would explode, and said: "You want me, Cheng Wenji, to surrender, you are dreaming! Even if I die, I will die in battle!"
After Cheng Wenji finished speaking, he drew his sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "I, General Chen Jun, obey the order, follow me to break out of the tight encirclement!!"
Quan Zhuoxuan stretched out his hand to support the fence of the merchant ship, smiled faintly, and said, "You can't control yourself."
Quan Jingxuan immediately gave an order, the boat master dispatched, the big ship crushed
It can be said that Cheng Wenji went through untold hardships and finally returned to the original camp of Chen Ren, but he took a closer look and saw that the fire was extinguished and collapsed on the ground. There were still traces of camping on the ground, but it was obvious that the camp had moved.
Cheng Wenji stood blankly on the "ruins" of the camp, feeling depressed and hungry. He stood there for a while, pulled himself together, and searched the camp to see if there was anything he could use. I found some food, packed it all in the boat, and continued to paddle.
Chen Ren was defeated in the first battle, probably because he felt that the camp was no longer safe, so he chose to retreat and re-plan the camp.
According to what Cheng Wenji knew about Chen Jun, he started rowing again along the current, and continued to head east. After several days passed like this, the wind became stronger and stronger, and Cheng Wenji's collected food was eaten up.
Cheng Wenji felt a little cold in his heart, he didn't expect to escape from the Sui army's barracks with difficulty, but ended up dying in the water...
Cheng Wenji thought so, but he failed to realize that there is no unparalleled road. Instead, he realized that the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the sky suddenly started to rain, with lightning and thunder, strong winds on the water, and the boat was overwhelmed, "Boom——" With a loud noise, the boat was crushed, the hull leaked, and there was no way to make up for it. Cheng Wenji and the boat were swallowed by the flood. With such a big wave, even if he could swim, Cheng Wenji couldn't struggle, and disappeared in the gust of wind. And in the water of anger...
"General, look, there are enemy ships over there!"
"The appearance of that ship must be an enemy ship!"
"The enemy ship was overturned by the water and sunk."
"With such a heavy wind and rain, why did the enemy ship come alone? Could it be to spy on the military situation?"
Wu Mingche personally led troops to patrol and survey the terrain in the wind and rain. He happened to see a small boat being swallowed by the wind and waves. Because the wind and rain were so strong that it almost obscured his eyes, Wu Mingche couldn't see who was on the small boat at all, but what is certain is that , the shape of the small boat is indeed the small boat of the Sui people, which is very different from their boats.
"No, why does the person who fell into the water look so much like a major general?"
"Yeah, it looks so much like Major General Cheng!"
Wu Mingche was taken aback, and when he said it, he also felt very similar, and quickly shouted: "Quick! Save people!"
The soldiers of the Chen people swarmed up, rushed to the water's edge, paddled the boat forward, swaying in the wind and rain, a soldier tied a rope around his waist, jumped into the water to save people, and when he fished it out, it was indeed Cheng Wenji!
"Major General!"
"Quick, carry it in! Call the military doctor!"
"Military doctor!! Medical officer—"
Everyone hurriedly carried Cheng Wenji into the barracks, quickly lit a fire, and called the medical officer to rescue him. Fortunately, Cheng Wenji fell into the water not long ago, so he was discovered in time.
When other generals in the army heard that Cheng Wenji was back, they all ran over immediately. It happened that Cheng Wenji also woke up and thought he was going to die. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by Wu Mingche by accident.
Cheng Wenji saw Wu Mingche and said excitedly, "General!"
Wu Mingche quickly supported him and said, "Good nephew! As long as you're fine! As long as you're fine! You're back!"
At that time, Wu Mingche was almost captured. Cheng Wenji drove a gold-finned boat and rushed past him recklessly. He was about to fight the Sui mermaid. , the army was finished, so Wu Mingche gritted his teeth, turned his head and left cruelly.
After Wu Mingche left, he was full of self-blame and always wanted to save Cheng Wenji, but there was no way out, unexpectedly Cheng Wenji came back by himself.
"Major General, how did you escape?"
"Yeah! How did you escape?"
"What about the other soldiers? What about the other captured soldiers?"
Only Cheng Wenji escaped alone, and the other soldiers were still captured.
When the other generals heard this, they couldn't help but frowned and said, "The major general escaped alone?"
"It's not that the humble general talks too much. The Sui people are heavily guarded, and even the Sui Lord himself went out to fight. How can the major general escape alone? The security of the Sui people's camp won't be so relaxed?"
Cheng Wenji's face froze, they didn't know how much they had suffered along the way, Cheng Wenji frowned and said, "What do you mean?!"
"The humble general doesn't mean anything else, just worry more than others. Marching and fighting, it's not a bad thing to worry more."
"Yes, yes, how did the major general escape? Why didn't you see other soldiers? This..."
Wu Mingche frowned. He believed in Cheng Wenji. After all, Cheng Wenji tried his best to save him, and he was a junior who knew everything. How could Wu Mingche not believe him? But in the current situation, we must ask clearly.
Cheng Wenji had no choice but to tell the story of Quan Jingxuan letting him out from the beginning to the end, and said: "That's what happened, the Sui people were at odds, and Quan Jingxuan refused to accept his nephew as a favor, so he let me go on purpose. , I squatted among the weeds for a whole night before I found the right time to leave."
The generals nodded their heads, but some people still had doubts: "What the Major General said is reasonable, but how can we prove that Quan Jingxuan and his nephew Quan Zhuoyu are at odds? We only heard what the Major General said, the Sui people There was no such news.”
"You..." Cheng Wenji stared angrily. He was still a newborn calf, so his tongue was a little stupid, and he said, "How do you want me to prove it!"
"Don't be impatient, Major General," someone said, "Actually, it's not that we are embarrassing the Major General. Maybe the Major General hasn't heard of it yet..."
"What did you hear?" Cheng Wenji asked.
"I heard... about the governor of Yingzhou."
"What's wrong with my father?!" Cheng Wenji struggled to support his tired body, and said anxiously: "What's wrong with my father? Did the Sui people go to Yingzhou? No, no, it shouldn't be so fast. If you go to Xiakou, if you hit Yingzhou, you will definitely pass by us..."
Some generals sneered and said, "Hmph, the major general looks alike! It seems like he really doesn't know!"
Some people also said: "Maybe the major general really doesn't know."
"I think he's just pretending!"
Wu Mingche heard the noise of the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, shut up! Now is not the time to be suspicious of each other!"
Cheng Wenji said in amazement: "General! What happened to my father? What happened!"
Wu Mingche sighed and said: "Nephew, don't be impatient, the governor of Yingzhou is very good, and there is nothing wrong... However, we just got the news that the governor of Yingzhou accepted bribes from the Sui people and has already negotiated with the Sui people." Together, we are ready to open the door to meet the enemy, and offer our hands to Yingzhou."
"Impossible!" Cheng Wenji knew very well that his father was an old-fashioned man, so how could he accept bribes from the Sui people?
The general who sneered before said: "Impossible? If the governor of Yingzhou hadn't communicated with the Sui people, how could the major general have escaped from the heavily guarded Sui army camp? Thinking about it is impossible. If the major general can escape, we Why can’t the captured soldiers escape? Only the young general escaped alone, hum! I see, the young general is afraid that he is here to spy on our military situation, so we have to guard against it!”
"You fart!!" Cheng Wenji was naturally fearless. Hearing the man's sarcasm and sarcasm, and worrying about his father and Yingzhou's comfort, he pointed to the general's nose angrily and said, "I, Cheng Wenji, sit upright. !"
The general said: "The major general speaks empty teeth, and the humble general is just guessing. Why is the major general so angry? Yes, could it be that the humble general exposed the truth and became angry from embarrassment?"
Everyone whispered and looked at Cheng Wenji with strange eyes.
Cheng Wenji is an outspoken person, and he can't stand others looking at him like this, so he said to Wu Mingche, "General! Since my colleagues don't trust the humble general, it's very good. The humble general is willing to lead the troops to fight against the Sui people and issue military orders. If it is still impossible to defeat the Sui people, the humble general is willing to use the head on his neck to pay homage to my Dachen Yaqi!"
Wu Mingche knew Cheng Wenji's character very well, and Wu Mingche would never believe that he was a traitor, but now he is marching, and the morale of the army is also very important, so it must be stable.
Cheng Wenji personally invited the battle. If he could win, he would be able to wash away his grievances. Wu Mingche thought about it, and he was more optimistic about Cheng Wenji on weekdays. Wu Mingche didn't refuse either, so he said, "Okay, as you say."
With firm eyes, Cheng Wenji said, "Thank you, General!"
……
Cheng Wenji had been released, and Yang Jian held a court meeting in the shogunate tent to discuss the matter of fighting against Chen Jun.
Yang Jian sat on the table and said leisurely: "Now that Cheng Xiaohu has been sent away, if Cheng Xiaohu hadn't died on the way, he should have returned to the army by now. Presumably, there must be constant suspicion among Chen's army."
Indeed, Yang Zan, king of Teng, has let out rumors that Cheng Lingxi, the governor of Yingzhou, is in cahoots with them, and there is no distinction between you and me. Because of this, the Sui people let Cheng Wenji go on purpose. After all, Cheng Wenji is Cheng Lingxi's favorite. How can Cheng Lingxi lose his beloved son with high hopes?
Yang Zan's writing style was astonishing, and when word spread, the public opinion quickly swept across the sky and covered Chen Jun like a flood. In this way, Cheng Wenji's return to Chen Jun would inevitably be questioned, which is also a reasonable thing.
In addition, people's hearts are unpredictable. Even in the army, there are intrigues. Cheng Wenji is young and has already been highly regarded by Wu Mingche. Many veterans will definitely think that Cheng Wenji is a rich kid who went through the back door, so he can get mixed up in the army. If you are not jealous, who is he jealous of?Don't take advantage of this time to seriously injure him twice. Anyway, it doesn't cost money to frame others, just a touch of two lips, how simple.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "According to Cheng Xiaohu's fiery temperament, he must want to wash away his grievances. What do you think he will do?"
Quan Zhuoxuan was still wearing the tiger mask, his eyes hidden behind the mask narrowed, and he said with a sneer, "Lead the troops personally to meet our army."
When Quan Zhuoyu said this, Yang Zan suddenly felt a faint gaze staring at him. It was a faint gaze. When he looked back, it turned out to be his second brother Yang Zheng. Some sons are resentful, which is very similar to the "resentful woman in the boudoir" in the poems, almost the same.
Yang Zan's eyelids twitched wildly, it must be because the second brother saw the tiger mask on Quan Zhuoxuan's face...
Yang Zan just lent it to Quan Zhuoyu, and actually wanted to get it back. Although this mask is far from the cat mask he wanted, it was still the second brother's wish, and the second brother can be regarded as a "strength favorite brother" So Yang Zan actually cherishes this mask very much.
how...
But these days, the war is tense, all the blacksmiths are dealing with weapons, and there is no time to make masks. Quan Zhuoxuan's mask has been delayed again and again, so he has to wear Yang Zan's tiger mask.
Yang Zan pressed his twitching eyelids, pretended not to see, and turned back immediately.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "That's right, Cheng Xiaohu will definitely take the initiative to lead the army in order to retaliate against us, so the next battle is very crucial, as long as we win this battle, Cheng Xiaohu's crime of traitor may be confirmed. .”
Everyone was "horrified", thinking in unison, the host is worthy of being the host, clever and resourceful, which is rare in the world.
On the other hand, Yang Guang thought to himself, father deserves to be father, and as always, he will not leave any room for cheating people.
Yang Jian said: "In this battle, we must not lose... General Zhenjun."
"The humble general is here!"
Yang Jian said again: "General Quan."
"The humble general is here!"
Quan Zhuoxuan and Quan Jingxuan stood up and clasped their hands together, waiting for Yang Jian to speak.
The corners of Yang Jian's lips twitched slightly, revealing a full "evil charm and madness", or a full-fledged smile, and said: "It's time for you to perform."
Yang Jian's plan was actually very simple. Quan Jingxuan let go of Cheng Wenji. According to Cheng Wenji's temperament, he should have [-]% trust in Quan Jingxuan, but Cheng Wenji returned to the camp. His trust level will inevitably plummet, and now there are at most [-]% left.
Yang Jian asked Quan Jingxuan to take the initiative to contact Cheng Wenji. It was still the same old way, saying that Quan Jingxuan was not convinced by his nephew, and that Quan Zhuoxuan was still going to fight in this battle, so he wanted to sabotage it.
Yang Jian's soldiers and horses traveled down the river from Jiangling to the vicinity of Dongting Lake, then turned back to the north, followed the current to Zhuankou in the north, passed through Zhuankou, entered Xiakou, passed through Xiakou, and entered the Yangtze River. Finally, it pointed directly at Jiankang, the capital of the Chen people, which is also called Nanjing in modern times.
Therefore, the route of the Sui army is very clear. Their next destination is Zhuankou, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely replenish supplies at Zhuankou.
If Quan Jingxuan found Cheng Wenji at this time and told Cheng Wenji the route of Quan Zhuojie's replenishment, as long as Cheng Wenji defeated Quan Zhuojie's supplies, the Sui army would collapse without a fight, why not?Cheng Wenji will definitely be moved.
At that time, as long as Yang Jian plays a game, he will invite you into the urn and beat Cheng Wenji to pieces. In the eyes of Chen people, it must be Cheng Wenji who took the initiative to give away the head. It's true.On the one hand, Chen Renzhou was defeated, and on the other hand, Cheng Lingxi, the governor of Yingzhou, could be brought down. It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Quan Jingxuan said hesitantly: "This... the emperor also said that Cheng Wenji's trust in the humble general is only [-]%, if the humble general goes to inform, Cheng Wenji may not believe it either."
Yang Jian said quietly: "Don't worry, Cheng Xiaohu's temperament is easy to be baited. If you don't believe it the first time, you will definitely believe it the second time. There is no need for the third time."
Of course Cheng Wenji wouldn't take the bait the first time, and Yang Jian didn't expect him to.
Yang Jian said: "Go and report to Cheng Wenji. Although Cheng Wenji doesn't believe it, he will definitely send someone to investigate. Then the general of the town army will deliver grain and grass according to the content of the report. Cheng Wenji sees the general of the town army escorting the grain and grass. Confidence will inevitably rise back to [-]%, at this time General Quan will go to inform the second time, and when Cheng Xiaohu is completely convinced, it will be the day we catch the turtle in our urn."
Everyone suddenly realized that this is the case, it can be said that it is a series of tricks.
Quan Zhuoxuan immediately arranged for the delivery of grain and grass, while Quan Jingxuan immediately contacted Cheng Wenji.
Cheng Wenji returned to the barracks, although he was angry that the soldiers in the camp doubted him, but he also had doubts, could it be that Quan Jingxuan really had malicious intentions, on the one hand he let himself go, on the other hand he seriously hurt and criticized him, the purpose was to divide Chen Jun?
Cheng Wenji thought about it, but it was such a coincidence that Quan Jingxuan actually came to the door, saying that he wanted to meet Cheng Wenji in secret, Cheng Wenji rushed over immediately with his troops.
When they arrived at the place, Cheng Wenji gave an order and immediately surrounded Quan Jingxuan without any explanation. After a closer look, Quan Jingxuan came alone.
Quan Jingxuan frowned and said, "Young General Cheng, what does this mean? I let you go, but you are so kind and revengeful?"
Cheng Wenji said warily, "You came alone?"
Quan Jingxuan said, "Young General Cheng, what do you think?"
Cheng Wenji said again: "You did let me go, but you Sui people are cunning and spread the news of my father accepting bribes. Did you do it on purpose?"
Quan Jingxuan is a veteran. Although he is old and confused, he was awakened by Yang Jian recently. After this battle, he became much smarter. Isn't it easy to act in front of Cheng Wenji, a newborn calf?
Quan Jingxuan laughed, as if he was amused by Cheng Wenji, and said: "The governor of Yingzhou accepted bribes, I have also heard about it, but no matter how you look at it, it was not our Sui people who did it. The governor of Yingzhou was pulled down, isn't it? Do you have more benefits from your own people? Yingzhou is a fat vacancies. People who want to be governors are not counted in line. Our soldiers and horses are still floating in the water. How can we have time to manage Yingzhou or Yingzhou? of?"
Cheng Wenji's mind is shallow, and he doesn't have that much experience. When he heard Quan Jingxuan's words, he couldn't help but frowned. He felt that it made sense. Many generals in the army always spoke ill of themselves behind their backs, and even said that their father was either this or that. , Is it really the news from my own people?
Cheng Wenji shook his head vigorously to drive out these thoughts, now is not the time to be self-confident and doubt his own people.
Cheng Wenji said: "General Quan is here now, what are you talking about?"
"It's a big deal!" Quan Jingxuan said solemnly, "Young General Cheng must also know that that kid Quan Zhuoxuan has become the emperor's favorite. Right now, the emperor listens to him in everything. Whenever he is a favorite, there will be chaos. ! How can the old man see it?"
Cheng Wenji sneered in his heart, what favors or dislikes must be because this old guy thinks that the younger generation is better than him, so he hurt face and wanted to destroy it.
How could Quan Jingxuan fail to see Cheng Wenji's thoughtfulness, that's what he wanted, so he continued to say: "The emperor has entrusted Quan Zhuoyu to take over the old man's troops and take full charge of the navy. There were two supplies. The boy Quan Zhuoyu said that these two supplies are very important, and he will do it himself. In order to avoid being attacked by you Chen people, it is not appropriate to make it public. He will dress lightly and disguise himself as a merchant ship. Isn't this a great opportunity for General Cheng Shao? As long as Quan Zhuoxuan's supply team is attacked, the army will have no supplies, and it will still be a water battle. It’s a great time to catch Quan Zhuoxu alive!”
Cheng Wenji squinted his eyes and thought about it. His trust in Quan Jingxuan is only [-]%, which is not enough, but he asked, "When and where is the supply?"
Quan Jingxuan informed Cheng Wenji of the time and place, and said, "Young General Cheng, please don't let me down!"
Quan Jingxuan completed the task and left alone. Cheng Wenji was dubious, fearing that this was a trap, but it would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity.
Therefore, Cheng Wenji made a "tactful" decision to go to investigate. Anyway, the Sui Army supplied supplies twice, and the first time he went to investigate by himself, if it was true, it would be okay to dispatch the second time.
Cheng Wenji swiftly arranged the soldiers and horses, and with only a few people, went to investigate secretly.
The night was dark, Cheng Wenji hid in the reeds on the shore, waited for a long time, almost impatiently, thinking that the old man Quan Jingxuan really lied to him, luckily he didn't take the bait, just brought a small amount of The cronies came out to investigate. The terrain of this place is so complicated that hiding in reeds will definitely not be discovered.
Just when Cheng Wenji was about to retreat, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing, it was the sound of water, and the water suddenly became noisy.
ferry!
There is a ship coming.
Sure enough, it looked like a commercial ship, but Cheng Wenji recognized it at a glance. Isn't the person at the bow of the ship Quan Jingxuan's nephew, Quan Zhuoyu, the favorite minister of the Sui Emperor?
In the dark night, Quan Zhuoxuan was wearing a tiger mask, standing with his hands behind his back, accepting the baptism of the night wind, his skirt was fluttering, very eye-catching.
The merchant ship docked at the shore, and Quan Zhuojie took off his mask on purpose, and then disembarked with the disguised soldiers, who really came to supply supplies.
Quan Zhuoxu brought twenty soldiers in total, less than 50, and they were also responsible for transporting supplies and food.
When Cheng Wenji saw it, he regretted it a lot. If he had brought enough people, he could rush out and detain Quan Zhuoxuan at this time, and he could avenge his revenge that day.
Unfortunately……
Cheng Wenji felt unwilling, and said to the cronies beside him, "Let's go, let's give this kid Quan Zhuoxu some meeting gifts."
Quan Zhuoxuan and his team replenished supplies, Cheng Wenji never showed up, but Quan Zhuoxuan knew that Cheng Wenji must be observing in secret, so no drips could leak.Of course, he did come here to supply supplies, and after supplying some supplies, he boarded the merchant ship and headed back.
Quan Zhuojie's merchant ship was about to return to the Sui army camp, but at this moment...
"General of the Town Army!"
"The big thing is bad! Ship...ship...ship..."
Quan Zhuoxu narrowed his eyes hidden behind the tiger mask, and said in a cold voice, "How?!"
"The boat is leaking for no reason!"
"When the villain got out of the boat, he definitely checked it. No...no water leakage damage!"
Quan Zhuoyu's heart skipped a beat, as if he understood something, he said in a cold voice with icy scum, "Cheng, Wen, Ji!"
Yang Jian had already fallen asleep. After all, it was very dark, and there was a sudden noise outside the tent. The little bun Yang Guang was the first to be woken up by the noise, and turned over vigilantly, and ran out with short legs. Came back after a while.
Yang Jian was sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said, "Son, what's the matter? It's the middle of the night, what's your name Hun'er?"
Yang Guang's face was dark and his fleshy cheeks were sullen, and he said, "It's the distress signal from General Zhenjun."
"What!?" Yang Jian woke up instantly, and said, "It shouldn't be..."
Yang Jian felt that he had calculated everything, how could he be wrong, Cheng Wenji shouldn't have attacked Quan Zhuoxu the first time.
Yang Guang said: "It's not that the Chen people attacked me, but...the boat leaked."
"Leak... water?" Yang Jian was rarely surprised.
Yang Guang ordered the meat and said, "It must have been tampered with. The damage to the hull was not serious. When it was about to reach the shore, it leaked, and a distress signal was sent out. My son has sent two uncles to rescue him."
Yang Jian suddenly realized, and rubbed his forehead, it seems that Cheng Xiaohu also has a temper, deliberately playing a prank on Quan Zhuoxu.
While he was talking, the voice of "I'm back! I'm back!" came from outside. It was Yang Zheng and Yang Zan who brought people to rescue the leaking merchant ship and came back.
Yang Jian put on his clothes and took the little bun Yang Guang out of the emperor's camp to see the situation.
Go out and have a look, good guy, only good guy left!
Quan Zhuoxuan came back, his body was dripping with water, like a drowned rat, his hair on the temples was scattered, and the wet shawl fell down, it was in the middle of the night, and Quan Zhuoxuan was tall and thin, his appearance looked like a ghost ...
Quan Zhuoxun was so angry that he shook the water on his body vigorously and said, "Where is the food?! How about the food?"
The soldier said: "Go back to the general, [-]% of the grain and grass have been rescued, and the rest... soaked in water."
Quan Zhuoxu was even more angry, wiped the cold water on his face, and said viciously again: "Cheng Wenji, it is not a gentleman not to avenge this revenge!"
Yang Jian laughed unkindly at this time, Yang Guang helplessly grabbed Yang Jian's skirt with his small hands, Yang Jian coughed, and said, "Fortunately, only [-]% of the food and grass were lost, as long as everyone is fine." , can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. Besides, General Zhenjun should thank Cheng Xiaohu."
"Why?" Quan Zhuoxu was puzzled.
Yang Jian raised his index finger with a smile, tapped his cheek, and said, "The general of the town army is not wearing a mask, but he speaks and behaves quite domineeringly."
Quan Zhuoxu was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized, yes, the mask!
He fell into the water, and the tiger mask was also wet. It was not his own mask, but a borrowed one. Therefore, Quan Zhuoxuan was very careful not to damage it. After getting into the water, he immediately took off his coat and put the mask on. Wipe it clean, his sideburns have been dripping, so he didn't wear it again.
I don't know...
Just now, because of the atmosphere, Quan Zhuoyu spoke fluently, and directed the soldiers to rescue food and grass, without stuttering, and without any sense of fear.
Yang Jian said with a smile: "The mission is considered complete. Although spring has begun, it has not yet entered summer and the weather is cold. The general of the town army should hurry up and change into dry and loose clothes."
Quan Zhuoxu came to his senses and returned the tiger mask to Yang Zan. After confessing his guilt, he hurried to change his clothes.
Cheng Wenji didn't do anything for the first time, so Yang Jian asked Quan Jingxuan to go to Cheng Wenji again, this time to question Cheng Wenji why he didn't do anything.
Quan Jingxuan found Cheng Wenji, with a cold face and a reasonable look, he said, "Why didn't General Cheng do it?! Such a great opportunity was delayed by General Cheng!"
Cheng Wenji didn't trust Quan Jingxuan, so he didn't do anything. Not enough, his trust in Quan Jingxuan has improved a lot, from six points to nine points.
Quan Jingxuan began to "brainwash" Cheng Wenji again, saying: "There is only one last chance left. Quan Zhuoyu's fleet will go through Zhuankou to supply food and grass. This is the last chance for Major General Cheng to do it." You must know that Quan Zhuoxi is a favorite, now he is a very special pet, and he is always hugged wherever he goes, if this opportunity is also missed, hmph! The old man can only say that he was wrong!"
Cheng Wenji was brainwashed and pressured by him, and he trusted [-]% of Quan Jingxuan. After Quan Jingxuan left, he immediately organized soldiers and horses, preparing to bring his own men and go out to besiege Quan Jingxuan. Zhuo Xun.
Quan Zhuoxue's grain and grass, as well as Quan Zhuoxue himself, he will take back as a prisoner. In this way, he and his father's grievances will definitely be washed away!
When Quan Jingxuan came back from the outside, Yang Jian was already waiting. Quan Jingxuan immediately went to the shogunate to have an audience, cupped his hands and said, "See the Son of Heaven!"
Yang Jian smiled and said, "How?"
Quan Jingxuan smiled and said: "Going back to the Son of Heaven, the veteran cannot say that he is completely sure, but he is ninety-nine percent sure, so there should be no problem."
"Very good." Yang Jian said, "For the rest, we still need General Quan's help."
Quan Zhuoxuan is the bait, this time he can't bring too many soldiers and horses, at most [-] people, so the main force for the ambush needs to be led by Quan Jingxuan.
Quan Jingxuan's heart trembled when he heard Yang Jian's words, he felt a little bit emotional, and said with shame: "Old minister... this old minister is not worthy, Son of Heaven, this veteran minister has messed up the war and is not worthy of leading the army. Please invite the Son of Heaven..."
But Yang Jian cut him off and said, "General Quan, has he forgotten his ambition? The only one who can defeat the general is the general himself, not others. Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?"
When Quan Jingxuan heard this, the blood in his heart was boiling, and his eyes were a little red. He lost a battle. Not only did Yang Jian not blame him, but he trusted him so much. Quan Jingxuan felt that if he didn't throw away for Da Sui Blood spilled from the head is not worthy of being a human being!
Quan Jingxuan immediately knelt on the ground, knocked his head twice, and said sonorously: "The old minister swears to be loyal to the emperor! Please rest assured, the old minister will definitely bring back Cheng Wenji and Chen Jun!"
"Very good," Yang Jian nodded and said, "This is the General Quan I know."
Quan Jingxuan quickly went to prepare, his heart was unprecedentedly excited, Yang Guang sat on the table, shaking his little meaty legs leisurely, raised his eyebrows and said: "Father still knows how to win people's hearts as always."
Yang Jian corrected and said: "My son, how can this win people's hearts? This is called... knowing people and using them well, and employing them without doubt."
Yang Guang: "..." Father put all the gold on his face, so thick-skinned.
Cheng Wenji was sure to win this time, after arranging his troops, he went to Zhuankou to ambush according to the time and place Quan Jingxuan said.
Passing through Zhuankou is Xiakou, Chibi, and then into the Yangtze River. Therefore, before entering the Yangtze River, Zhuankou is very important, and it must be replenished before starting.
Cheng Wenji personally led the troops to ambush, and as the night grew thicker, he heard the soldiers whispering: "Young General, here we come..."
Cheng Wenji took a closer look, it's not so, on the edge of the dark sky and water, a black boat came driving, approached, Cheng Wenji could see clearly that standing on the boat was Quan Zhuoxi.
Quan Zhuoxu didn't wear a mask today, and he didn't know if it was to deceive others, after all, the mask was too eye-catching.
Cheng Wenji lowered his voice and said cautiously: "Don't act rashly, observe for a while."
"Yes."
On the merchant ship, Quan Zhuoxuan stood upright. Today he did not wear a mask, because Quan Zhuoxuan discovered that with or without a mask, he is himself, he is still himself, and the fear he wants to overcome is not imposed on him by outsiders After thinking about it, Quan Zhuoxu suddenly wasn't so afraid of showing his face in front of everyone.
Quan Zhuoxuan stood facing the wind, the strong wind tore at his skirt, and he flew up and down.
The soldier disguised as a businessman said in a low voice, "General Zhenjun, we have spotted Chen's troops."
Quan Zhuoyu said calmly: "Don't act rashly, there are a lot of reeds around, unless Chen Jun takes the initiative to attack, otherwise it will be difficult for us to find all Chen Jun."
"Yes."
Cheng Wenji secretly observed for a long time, seeing that Quan Zhuoyu's merchant ship was about to dock, if he didn't attack at this time, there was no guarantee that the Sui people would escape after they docked.
Cheng Wenji gritted his teeth, straightened up abruptly, and shouted loudly, "Send troops!!"
"send troops!!"
"kill--!"
The Chen people immediately rushed out from the reeds, as well as their hidden boat masters, soldiers and horses, all rushed out.
Because it was an ambush, Cheng Wenji chose smaller and more convenient boats. Small boats poured out from all directions, surrounded like ants densely, and instantly surrounded Quan Zhuoxi's boat in the center.
Quan Zhuoxuan's ship was slightly larger than theirs, it was a merchant ship, but it was not that big, and the besieged had nowhere to escape.
Surrounded by Chen's torches, Cheng Wenji sneered and said, "Quan Zhuoyu, let's see where you are going!"
Quan Zhuoxue stood on top of the merchant ship, he didn't wear a mask, and he didn't know if it was because the merchant ship was relatively tall, which made Quan Zhuoxue feel condescending.
The corners of Quan Zhuoyu's lips twitched slightly, and a sinister smile appeared on his gentle and handsome face, and he said faintly, "Run? Who said Ben was going to run away?"
Cheng Wenji sneered and said, "When you are about to die, you do have backbone."
"Death?" Quan Zhuoyu said lightly, "Well said, I want to see who is dying."
As soon as his words fell, the surrounding water suddenly became noisy. Cheng Wenji frowned immediately, and saw the dark water constantly fluctuating. There was a tendency of a storm coming. The distant sky was suddenly lit up, and flames continued In the sky, in comparison, Chen Ren's torch is really not worth seeing, and it is almost swallowed by the light that fills the sky like daytime.
Battleship!
It was the warships of the Sui people, coming one by one, approaching them.
Cheng Wenji thumped in his heart, feeling that the situation was wrong, but it was already too late.The warships that the Sui people drove were all large ships, specially used for combat, but they chose light and small boats for ambushes and sneak attacks, so there was no comparison at all.
Cheng Wenji recognized the warship coming, the person standing on the bow was not Quan Zhuoxuan's uncle Quan Jingxuan?
Cheng Wenji's heart seemed to be poured with hot oil, and he was so shocked that he said, "Quan Jingxuan?!"
Quan Jingxuan, dressed in black armor, commanded the warship and said, "Surround!"
Although the warship was huge, Quan Jingxuan was a veteran. In addition, Quan Zhuoyu's sailing route was planned long ago, so it was very convenient. The warship quickly surrounded Cheng Wenji's small boats. In this way, Cheng Wenji's army It was simply being attacked from the inside out.
Cheng Wenji said angrily: "Quan Jingxuan, you lied to me!"
Quan Zhuoxu said quietly: "Who told you to be easy to deceive?"
"You!" Cheng Wenji was too angry to speak.
Quan Zhuoxuan said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense, do you want to fight or surrender?"
Cheng Wenji was so angry that his lungs would explode, and said: "You want me, Cheng Wenji, to surrender, you are dreaming! Even if I die, I will die in battle!"
After Cheng Wenji finished speaking, he drew his sword from his waist and shouted loudly: "I, General Chen Jun, obey the order, follow me to break out of the tight encirclement!!"
Quan Zhuoxuan stretched out his hand to support the fence of the merchant ship, smiled faintly, and said, "You can't control yourself."
Quan Jingxuan immediately gave an order, the boat master dispatched, the big ship crushed
