"It seems that I have not only underestimated Chen Yingliang, but also underestimated Du Fuwei, the rioter." After hearing the news brought back by his nephew Wang Renze from Su Yu, Wang Shichong was shocked at first, and then silent after being shocked. After a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "This battle is not as easy as I imagined. The military achievements of the two thieves Du Fuwei and Li Zitong are not as easy as I imagined. Chen Yingliang and Du Fuwei are not good at it."

"Why should you be more powerful and destroy your morale?" Wang Shiyun said contemptuously: "I think that Chen Yingliang is just a soft boy. He knows that the messenger cannot be fake, but he deliberately pretends to be confused and returns the messenger to us. It is obvious that he is afraid of the thieves such as Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, and he is even more afraid of forcing us away. He is alone and can't support him, so he bows his head to give in to us."

"Brother, you underestimate the boy Chen Yingliang too much." Wang Shichong shook his head and said sneered: "He is really afraid that he can't help but do it. Then he can just pretend that this happened and secretly record the black account. Why should he return the envoy to us? But he didn't do this and returned the envoy to us generously, which is equivalent to telling us directly that he is not afraid of us returning to Huainan, nor is he worried that he can't help but do it alone. If we are willing to join forces with him, you can stand by and watch if you don't want to. He can deal with the coalition forces of Li Zitong and Du Fuwei with the power of one army."

"Just rely on his more than 5,000 troops?" Wang Shiyun sneered.

"He has few troops, but he has this confidence." Wang Shichong said again: "It may be difficult for his troops to defeat Du Li's bandit army, but it is not enough to make progress and protect himself. Five thousand regular troops guard a Suyu City with sufficient food and supplies. It is difficult for Du Fuwei and Li Zitong to break even with 100,000 bandit army."

"Father, the child thinks that my uncle is right." Wang Renze also said respectfully: "Chen Yingliang has few troops, but he wins in elite troops. In terms of weapons and equipment, he is not only far above the thief army that relies entirely on plunder and supplies, but also above our team. He confronts Du Li's thief army head-on in favorable terrain. The child thinks that Chen Yingliang will not be at a disadvantage."

Wang Shiyun, who had a bad impression of Chen Yingliang, snorted heavily, very dissatisfied with his son's helping uncles and fathers, and then asked Wang Shichong again: "Brother, what should we do next? Should we continue to hold our troops, or should we send troops north as agreed with Chen Yingliang's little thief, and hit the thief's hole in both directions?"

"It will definitely not work until the troops are still controlled." Wang Shichong shook his head and said, "First, because Renze's virtuous nephew has agreed to the plan of moving in parallel on my behalf, we have to keep some credit. Second, we must let Chen Yingliang's little thief move. Only when he leaves the Suyu battlefield, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, can Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's thief army advance westward to fight him. Otherwise, the two thief heads are afraid of attacking and come to us."

"But Chen Yingliang's little thief has said directly that if the main force of the thief army sets on the western front, he will immediately retreat back to Su Yu. What should I do?" Wang Shiyun asked again.

"Let's retreat, as long as he can lure the main force of the thief army to move westward." Wang Shichong waved his hand generously and said, "Besides, Du Fuwei is not a fool. When he found that Chen Yingliang's thief was advancing westward, he had to wait for Chen Yingliang to go far before sending troops. That's it, and send orders to the camp tomorrow morning and to set up troops northward, march 30 miles a day, so that Song Hao led 3,000 troops as the vanguard."

"Uncle, you remember it wrongly, forty miles." Wang Renze quickly corrected: "My nephew and Chen Yingliang agreed to march forty miles a day. If we march forth thirty miles a day, it would take four days to reach the reserved battlefield and we could not meet Chen Yingliang on time."

"My nephew, you remembered it wrong?" Wang Shichong said calmly: "Chen Yingliang and you made an agreement with you only verbally. Without official documents and letters as evidence, you remembered the agreed march wrongly. It should be thirty miles, right?"

"I remember wrong?" Wang Renze was a little speechless, but after seeing the smiles on Wang Shichong and Wang Shiyun's faces, Wang Renze quickly woke up and quickly bowed and smiled: "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's my nephew who remembered wrongly."

Wang Shichong and Wang Shiyun laughed loudly, and then Wang Shichong immediately started to arrange the military affairs. During this period, Wang Renze remembered something again and asked, "Uncle, what should I do with that envoy?"

"Is this a question?" Wang Shichong said coldly: "Send him to the place he should go. Such a shameless person who sells his owners and asks for his life will only be a disaster." Wang Renze understood it and immediately went to take down the unlucky messenger with his own hands.

So, after crossing the river for a few days, the famous Jiangdu County Magistrate Wang Shichong finally kept his credit. He led 20,000 Jiangdu Sui Army to the north as agreed, and even more abide by the verbal agreement, marching thirty miles a day, not more than one mile, and there were still many miles apart. At the same time, the solid camps built by the Jiangdu Sui Army were forced to give up, but the abandoned fences and guardhouses were not wasted. As soon as Wang Shichong's army left, countless refugees flocked to the abandoned camp, sweeping all the timber that Wang Shichong's team had worked hard to cut, and used them as firewood for winter. During this period, the fortifications such as trenches and soil trenches were naturally damaged.

Our Wang Shichong, the county magistrate, keeps the promise of trust and is naturally extremely concerned about whether friendly forces value trust and keeps the promise of trust. When he goes north, he naturally has to send people to contact Chen Yingliang, and use the excuse to report the movements of the self-arms to find out whether Chen Yingliang sent troops as promised. As a result, what made Wang Shichong envoy vomit blood was that after he came to Suyu City, he not only saw the Sui Army camp in Qiao County, but also saw Chen Yingliang lying on the hospital bed. After inquiring carefully, he realized that Chen Yingliang suffered a cold one night while patrolling the camp, and had a high fever in the morning of sending troops, and had to give up his plan for sending troops temporarily.

"Please report back to Brother Shichong, please rest assured that I will send troops tomorrow." Chen Yingliang held the envoy's hand and groaned in pain: "I will walk sixty miles tomorrow, and another sixty miles the day after tomorrow. I will guarantee that I will meet with you on time and will never let you fight alone."

It would be better for the shameless person to die of illness earlier. Wang Shichong's messenger could only leave Su Yu and come back to report the message. As a result, after returning to the army the next morning, Wang Shichong heard the news that Chen Yingliang suddenly became ill. No matter how well he was in good condition, he couldn't help but curse. "This little thief who killed heaven is so shameless that he was so obviously afraid that I would not keep my promise, so he deliberately waited and watched for a day and even used the excuse of pretending to be sick. The most shameless scoundrel in the world is this little thief Chen Yingliang."

"Brother, since Chen Yingliang's little thief was broken first, then we should not be polite to him." Wang Shiyun said viciously: "We Yu Qian also stopped moving for a day. Let's talk about the situation of Chen Yingliang's little thief's troops when they have confirmed the situation of Chen Yingliang's little thief's troops."

The biggest advantage of our Wang Da County Magistrate is that he wants everything, but he is disrespectful. Chen Yingliang showed off his anger and immediately accepted the advice of his fourth brother Wang Shiyun, and ordered the entire army to rest for a day. At the same time, he sent people to closely reconnaissance the movements of friendly troops and thieves in Qiao County, and vowed that unless Chen Yingliang sent troops to advance east, he would never take a step north.

Wang Shichong's order was cheered and supported by the Sui Army in Jiangdu. After half a year of idleness, the Jiangdu Army formed by Wang Shichong himself has developed some laziness. He did not want to work hard and work hard. After walking thirty miles, he stationed in the stairs to rest. Most of the soldiers of Jiangdu Army were naturally very happy. Of course, there were some exceptions. In addition to some brave and ruthless people who were eager to make contributions, Wang Shichong's precious daughter Wang Xueji was even more dissatisfied. He asked in the morning why he had to hold his troops again, and in the evening he came to Wang Shichong again to find out whether he would go north to fight the next day?

"What are you anxious about? What's there to worry about?" Wang Shichong smiled bitterly at his daughter helplessly, "My father is taking the army to fight, not to go out for fun. The soldiers in the army are not anxious. Why are you a girl in a hurry?"

"Daughter is anxious to make achievements for you." Wang Xueji said with confidence: "My daughter has learned martial arts since she was a child, and she has never had the opportunity to use it. This time you finally agreed to take me to the battle. Of course, I have to hurry to kill the enemy and show my skills."

"I really shouldn't have promised to bring you."

Wang Shichong sighed and was about to tell his daughter why he was not moving, but a scout rushed in outside the tent and knelt down on one knee to Wang Shichong and said, "Report to the county magistrate, at noon today, the two thieves Du Fuwei and Li Zitong suddenly gave up the Shushui camp, went out in full force, and came together to the southwest. The four gates of Shuyang County were closed and martial law was already on the verge of martial law."

Du Fuwei's thief army camp is located east of Shuyang. Whether it is to attack Suyu or to come south to the enemy Wang Shichong, he must go southwest first. Therefore, Wang Shichong was not shocked after hearing the report, but just asked quickly: "Where is the destination of the thief army? Has it been discovered?"

"The destination of the main force of the bandit army has not been discovered yet." The scout replied truthfully: "But there was a band of bandit soldiers about 3,000, walking very fast and heading towards Su Yu."

"Pioneering Pioneer" Wang Shichong immediately flashed the word in his mind, and a smile appeared on his face. He immediately laughed out loud: "Boy Chen Yingliang, I told you to play tricks, and I asked you to pretend to be sick, what's the use of playing tricks? Du Fuwei and Li Zitong are not fools, so why should I leave your more than 5,000 people without fighting, and come to fight my 20,000 army?"

The Wang brothers next to him also laughed loudly, and were so proud that Wang Xueji was relatively simple. He asked in confusion: "Father, uncles, and brothers, why are you laughing at? What's so funny?"

"Good daughter, you will understand soon." Wang Shichong laughed and said, "Don't you want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions? Don't worry, my father will give you this opportunity. When the rioters and boy Chen Yingliang fight, both sides will be injured. My father will take you to the battlefield and kill the enemy and make contributions to the country."

When Wang Xueji heard this, she quickly thanked Wang Shichong, and then asked curiously: "Father, that Chen Yingliang is the famous little Chen Qingzhi, right? I heard that he once led hundreds of white-robed soldiers into the camp of tens of thousands of rebels, burned the rebels' food and grass, and broke through the siege without any damage. What kind of person is he? So powerful?"

"Ask your starling, I have never seen that boy, your starling has seen him." Wang Shichong pointed at Wang Renze.

Seeing that his cousin turned his curious eyes to him, Wang Renze smiled and said, "Thirteenth sister, don't listen to those unreliable rumors. When you see that boy Chen Yingliang, you will be disappointed. Not only is he ugly as a pig, with a green face and fangs, he is also a small battlefield bird that has never seen even blood. The so-called brilliant record is either blown out or picked up cheaply, which is far inferior to his uncle's real record."

Wang Xueji was indeed disappointed, and said with a rosy little mouth: "So it's another hero. I heard that he was rushing into the thief's nest with white-robed soldiers. I thought he was a great person. It turned out to be fake and looked so ugly. Then forget it, I don't want to see him."

Hearing Wang Xueji's words, the brothers of the Wang family laughed loudly, and their laughter was so proud. At the same time, Wang Shichong also laughed and ordered the army to continue to rest on the spot the next day without mentioning it. At the second update, Su Yu, who was far away, sent an urgent report, saying that Chen Yingliang had not moved because he had not recovered. After hearing this, Wang Shichong sneered and said, "Pretend, continue to pretend. When the 50,000 thieves surrounded you, you want me to ask for help, let me see how I pretend to show you."

In a good mood, Wang Shichong, who was very strict in the army, rarely broke the case the next day. He temporarily left the military camp and led a large number of nephews and daughters to hunt in the nearby mountains. More than a dozen siblings in the family competed with archery and riding, which was quite happy. When he was in a good mood, Wang Shichong himself pulled the bow and shot an arrow, shooting a lonely goose to the south, which won applause from the whole house. Wang Shichong himself was also proud, extremely satisfied with his civil and military abilities, and was as expected.

Maybe it was so happy that it was sad. In the afternoon, just as Wang Shichong was baking his own hands to shoot the lonely goose, several fast horses suddenly rushed to the hunting ground and shouted from afar: "Mr. Magistrate, go back to the camp, come back to the camp, and our army's scouts report that the main force of the thief army is coming towards our camp, and may arrive before evening."

"Pa" The geese in Wang Shichong's hand fell into the fire, and a lot of oil smoke and dust suddenly splashed. At the same time, the expression on Wang Shichong's face also showed a dementia expression, and he said in disbelief: "How is it possible? The main force of the thief army is me? How could the main force of the thief army be me?"

After a long period of dementia, Wang Shichong didn't even bother to greet his daughter, so he ran back to his camp by horse. At this moment, the Jiangdu military camp was already in panic. A large number of soldiers were urgently mobilized. While digging the trenches of the camp, they cut down trees and built fences. The commissars were running and shouting endlessly. Wang Shiyun, who was left behind in the camp, also quickly came up and said, "Fifth brother, we were trapped. The thief army went west to Suyu yesterday, but it was just a side division. It seemed to be to restrain Chen Yingliang's boy. The main force of the thief army deliberately stationed troops at the Sancha Road intersection last night. Today, it suddenly exerted force south. It was very fast and could arrive here before the evening.

Wang Shichong's face was gloomy and suddenly asked, "Where is the little thief Chen Yingliang? What's the movement?"

"There is no news, so we should still hold our troops down." Wang Shiyun replied quickly.

"Send someone to contact him immediately and ask him to abide by the agreement, send troops to attack the thief army immediately, and join forces with us to defeat the enemy." Wang Shichong ordered quickly with a stern face: "Another, let the army speed up the establishment of the camp. Before sunset, be sure to set up the camp for me."

The messenger who negotiated with Chen Yingliang went to Suyu, but the camp did not have time to set aside before sunset. Du Fuwei shamelessly sent a cavalry team to go south first and attacked the Jiangdu army that was cutting down trees beside the mountain road, causing huge trouble for the Jiangdu army to set up a battalion. Although Wang Shichong immediately sent troops to fight, the progress of the camp was still greatly affected. When it was dark, the main team of the bandit army appeared in front of Wang Shichong's team.

The momentum of the thief army was very huge. From a distance, the bonfires and torches of the thief army were endless, even more dense than the stars in the sky. The sound of war drums and trumpets came one after another, and even ten miles away, they could still be heard clearly. What worried Wang Shichong and his family even more was that Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's thief army were quite regular during the marching camp. The camp was guarded or attacked by mountains and rivers, and the marching was organized and organized, and the flags were rigorous. At a glance, you could tell that it was an experienced team with a lot of combat experience, which was definitely not an ordinary mob.

Of course, Wang Shichong, who had 20,000 regular troops, was not particularly afraid of casualties, but was not particularly afraid of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's 50,000 coalition forces. Considering that the bandit army had not yet established a stable foothold and had a certain impact on its physical strength. At the same time, in order to test the combat effectiveness of the bandit army, Wang Shichong arranged for the school captain Song Hao to lead a thousand troops to rob the camp that night. What shocked Wang Shichong was that Du Fuwei and Li Zitong had expected that he would take advantage of the advantage of waiting for work at night to attack. He arranged two ambush servants outside the camp early, and suddenly fought with two breadwinners. Song Hao's army was defeated and fled in a panic. The morale of the bandit army, which was crowded and powerful, was greatly boosted. The morale of the Jiangdu army, which had not fought for half a year, was frustrated.

What made Wang Shichong even more depressed was still behind. After the night attack was hit, the next morning, the bandit army seized the weakness of the Jiangdu military camp's incomplete defense and dispatched a large number of troops to attack the Jiangdu army head-on. Wang Shichong was forced to send troops to fight, and was forced to fight with Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, who was most reluctant to fight. As a result, after a big battle, although Wang Shichong's team successfully repelled the enemy, the team still suffered considerable casualties.

At the same time, Wang Shichong was shocked to find that the bandit army used its military strength to even divide an army to attack the Huaihe Ferry behind his camp. Wang Shichong, who had to rely on Shanyang to provide food, had no choice but to order the ferry to set up a camp to ensure the smooth flow of food. Du Fuwei and Li Zitong were in power and refused to forgive others. They rushed to chase and bit Wang Shichong's tail.

Relying on the bravery and equipment advantages of the Jianghuai soldiers, the Jiangdu Army fought and retreated, but it successfully retreated to the ferry camp. However, what made Wang Shichong laugh and cry was that the solid camp he had worked hard to build had already been razed to the ground at this time, and he had to fight and re-establish the camp. Not only did the army be tired, the Jiangdu Army was also in the dilemma of fighting on the back. Apart from defeating the front-facing enemy at all costs, there was no choice. When the enemy was in front of him, I believe there would be no explanation for what would happen if he crossed Henan and went south when the enemy was in front of him.

Defeating the enemy from the front is not hopeless and sure for Wang Shichong, who has 20,000 regular troops, but Wang Shichong must carefully consider these four words at all costs. So while dealing with the hardship, Wang Shichong considered two questions, "How can we let the traitor Chen Yingliang go south and help me attack the main force of the thief army? What method can we use to destroy Du Fuwei and Li Zitong's coalition forces at the minimum cost?"

"Wang Shichong is a treacherous person and likes to take advantage of the odds. Confronting him will only hit his mind and deal with him the best way to attack him, which is to attack, attack and then attack, forcing him to consume head-on. In order to preserve his strength, Wang Shichong must have the intention to retreat to the Huaihe River. Our army seizes the opportunity to attack him halfway and win a great victory." This is the suggestion made by Mao Wenshen to Du Fuwei and Li Zitong.
