Chapter 227 Turkic interior

After procrastinating for a long time, the airs were higher than Yang Guang. Until Liu Changgong, who was irritated and had a tough family background, got angry and asked Xiao Huaijing if he was intentionally unwilling to read the imperial edict? Li Yuan also whispered that Liu Changgong was born in Fengyi Liu family. Xiao Huaijing did not dare to swear words with Liu Changgong, and honestly opened the imperial edict to read it in public, completely ending his only power in front of Chen Yingliang.

The content of the imperial edict is similar to Xiao Huaijing's oral introduction. They both announced that they would accept the negotiations with the Turkic army and demanded that Chen Yingliang temporarily stop launching an attack on the Turkic army. They would not attack the Turkic army without permission without orders. At the same time, they also required Chen Yingliang to lead the army to stand by on standby on site, maintain pressure on the Turkic army at all times, and were ready to go north to pick up Emperor Yang of Sui at any time. In addition, Emperor Yang of Sui naturally had to praise Chen Yingliang severely in the imperial edict, and also stated that after the successful reception of the emperor, Chen Yingliang would be rewarded with great importance.

Finally, he heard Xiao Huaijing shaking his head and finish the imperial edict. Chen Yingliang first led the king to pay respect and thank him, and then immediately ordered the Turkic envoy Asina Gudulu to the Central Army's General's Office to announce to him that the Sui court had already started a peace talk with the Turkic army, and he also allowed Gudulu to return to the Turkic camp at any time. At the same time, Chen Yingliang said to Gudulu very politely: "Duke Gudulu, please repay Shibi Khan. In order to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts, before the peace talks end, I will restrict the soldiers in the army from crossing the camp ten miles north of the camp, and also ask your soldiers not to cross the south ten miles south. If our soldiers exceed this range, your army can handle our crossing soldiers at will. If your soldiers cross the border..."

"If our soldiers cross the border, your army can handle it at will, and our army will never interfere." Gu Dulu took the initiative to take the conversation and said respectfully: "Please rest assured Marquis Chen. We will also work hard to restrain the soldiers in the army and do our best to avoid misunderstandings and unexpected conflicts until the peace talks are over."

Chen Yingliang nodded and said, "Fortunately, Duke Gu Dulu, you are free now, and I have someone ready for your mount. If you want, you can leave now."

Chen Yingliang opened this mouth. Before Gu Duluo could speak, Xiao Huaijing, who was unwilling to rest, had already said first: "Mr. Chen, you master is too heartless, right? No matter what, Duke Gu Duluo is a guest of our Great Sui army. Is there any reason for the master to drive the guests away in the world? You have to do some kindness as a landlord, hold a banquet to entertain Duke Gu Duluo, and then personally send Duke Gu Duluo out of the camp. This will demonstrate the hospitality of our Great Sui officials, right?"

Chen Yingliang glanced at Xiao Huaijing and said coldly, "Doctor Xiao, I am the commander of the King's Army appointed by His Majesty the Emperor himself. How to treat guests is my freedom. You seem to have no right to deal with them, right?"

"Yes, I have no right to shed." Xiao Huaijing said again, "But this Duke Gudulu is not only an envoy from a neighboring country, but also the number one hero who led to the peace talks between the Sui Dynasty and the Turks. He is our friend. How could you treat our friends so coldly?"

"Your friend?" Chen Yingliang sneered and said with a smile: "Doctor Xiao, you said this yourself. Dear colleagues, you have heard that Doctor Xiao was just calling a friend with the Turkic Duke. Now we have only temporarily stopped fighting with the Turkic army and did not really cease to fight. Our Emperor, His Majesty, was also surrounded by the Turkic city in Yanmen. Doctor Xiao couldn't wait to treat the Turkic Duke as a friend. It seems that Doctor Xiao believes that it doesn't matter whether His Majesty the Emperor is still in a heavy siege, as long as Duke Gu Dulu treats him as a friend."

"Marrior Chen, how could you speak like this?" Xiao Huaijing's face turned pale and she quickly shouted: "You are catching up on the wind and shadows, looking for the text to make sense, making things wrong, and framed and slander. I..., I..., I want to ask His Majesty the Emperor to make the decision for me."

"Doctor Xiao, then go." Liu Changgong, who had long disliked Xiao Huaijing, also spoke up and said angrily: "Anyway, I heard it with my own ears. His Majesty the Emperor was surrounded by the Turkic army. Not only did you regard the Turkic people as friends now, but you also force Brother Yingliang to treat the Turkic people as friends. If you ask Your Majesty to be the decision, I will go and testify for Brother Yingliang. I want to see, does the Emperor think you are doing the right thing, or does Brother Yingliang do the right thing."

Xiao Huaijing was speechless and her face became even more ugly. Fortunately, Ashina Gudulu could barely understand a few Chinese words. Seeing that Xiao Huaijing and Chen Yingliang had a conflict over their own affairs, he quickly bowed and smiled and said, "Marquis Chen, Doctor Xiao, stop fighting. Khan is still waiting for my reply. I'd better go back and report the negotiations to him quickly. Goodbye."

"Duke slowly, I will meet again if you are destined to do it." Chen Yingliang did not try to keep him, and arranged a few soldiers to escort Gu Dulu to the camp. Then Chen Yingliang looked at Xiao Huaijing who was sulking beside him, and then said: "Doctor Xiao has come to send an order to be sent to Yanmen City for a long time. I must have been frightened a lot in Yanmen City. People come and prepare a banquet to welcome Doctor Xiao and suppress his shock. Generals, don't hurry to leave, please accompany Doctor Xiao. We will also celebrate the smooth delivery of food and grass into Yanmen City. Your Majesty does not have to suffer from hunger and thirst. I wish the Emperor and His Majesty good and safe escape."

Chen Sangliang, who was so stingy that he couldn't even drink a drink, was rarely generous. Of course, the generals of the Sui army would not refuse. Xiao Huaijing, who had been hungry for a long time, was also very happy. He also said there were any delicacies to nourish the food, so he thanked Chen Yingliang sincerely. However, Liu Changgong, who usually likes to eat and drink, was awkward and felt that Xiao Huaijing didn't like this glass of wine, so he insisted on saying goodbye. In addition, Chen Yingliang would certainly not force his good brother Liu Changgong. But for some reason today, Chen Yingliang insisted on keeping Liu Changgong once, and finally persuaded Liu Changgong to sit down and drink with Xiao Huaijing.

Xiao Huaijing soon found that she should not thank Chen Yingliang because the wine and dishes delivered by Chen Yingliang's personal soldiers were so simple. There was only one dish of pork with pork in sauce, and only two vegetarian dishes, a plate of pickled radish and a bowl of boiled wild vegetables. The wine was even more excessive. It turned out to be a pot of two taels of village wine. There was only one pot in front of each person. It was obvious that the wine jar would not add wine to the guests. Seeing such simple wine and food, Xiao Guojiu, who was used to eating in a rich and elegant manner, was a little angry and couldn't help saying, "Shishou Chen, is this your handsome banquet? Why can't even catch up with the wine and food of my family?"

Chen Yingliang was too lazy to pay attention to him, and Yin Shishishi said, "Doctor Xiao, you are right, this is the Grand Banquet of Marshal Chen. Marshal Chen usually eats worse than this, exactly the same as the meals of ordinary soldiers. Also, we have received preferential treatment, at least there is wine. The wine pot in front of Marshal Chen contains clear water. If you don't believe it, you can smell it yourself."

Xiao Guojiu rolled his eyes and cursed in his heart that he was a poor boy who picked vegetables, leaves and made porridge and drank them. He also regretted accepting Chen Yingliang's invitation to stay here for dinner. It would have been better to say goodbye directly and go to the camp of the brother-in-law Ambassador Li to eat. The food there must be different from here. Chen Yingliang ignored Xiao Guojiu's pain of not being able to swallow, waiting for the wine with water, and raising his glass to wish Emperor Yang of Sui's health and safety. Then Xiao Guojiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and pour the village wine that was so sour than vinegar into his stomach - he almost vomited it out on the spot.

Next, Xiao Xiao Guojiu was looking forward to ending this painful banquet early and going to the camp where his brother-in-law went to eat and drink delicious food. Chen Yingliang was excited to ask Xiao Xiao Guojiu about the various situations in Yanmen City. It was very detailed and time-consuming. Xiao Xiao Guojiu, who had lost his power to restrain Chen Yingliang, could only answer one by one. While eating Chen Yingliang's crude wine and food in pain, he accepted various interrogations from Chen Yingliang. From time to time, he had to answer other questions from other Sui generals, and was in pain as if in hell. After Chen Yingliang found that the wine and food in front of everyone was almost done, he quickly gave a wink to the personal captain Sangouzi and asked him to act according to the plan. Sangouzi understood and immediately issued a secret code of action.

At this time, Xiao Guojiu was already in pain and finished the simple wine and food, and then quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Chen, you have enough wine and food. The official dare not disturb you from handling military affairs. It is time to say goodbye. If the general doesn't mind, the official wants to live in Ambassador Li's camp, don't know if it's possible?"

"Doctor Xiao, what's the hurry?" Chen Yingliang raised his wine glass containing water and smiled and said, "Doctor Xiao, we have forgotten to wish the Queen a good health. Come on, we..."

Chen Yingliang couldn't continue to say this, and his eyes looked outside the Central Army's tent. Xiao Xiao Guojiu and the Sui generals looked at Chen Yingliang's eyes, but saw a messenger coming outside the tent, killing chickens in front of the tent, and making a wink in front of the tent, but did not say a word. When everyone felt strange, Chen Yingliang's personal soldier leader Sangouzi had already walked quickly to him and asked about the situation in a low voice. The messenger hurriedly came to Sangouzi's ear and muttered in a low voice. Then Sangouzi immediately screamed, "Really? Are you sure?"

The messenger nodded, Sangouzi was even more shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand to let him leave, then quickly returned to the tent, and came to Chen Yingliang's ear and muttered quickly. Chen Yingliang's expression was dissatisfied, and then his face changed suddenly. The wine glass with clear water in his hand also fell to the ground, his expression was in a daze. Yinshishi and other Sui generals saw something wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened?"

Chen Yingliang did not answer, and suddenly grabbed the wine pot in front of him and smashed it hard on the ground in front of him, which scared everyone, and then jumped up and shouted: "We were trapped in the inside line of the Turkic side. I just sent emergency news. The so-called negotiations and rebellion of the Turkic Shibi thief chief was actually a plan to hide the sword in a smile. The purpose of the goal was to disperse the morale of our soldiers of the army of the king, let us quit the precautions and reveal flaws, and then take the opportunity to sneak attack our camp at night and break through our army of the king in one fell swoop."

"What?" The Sui generals were all shocked and stood up and screamed, "Is the Turks' request for peace false? Is it to make us take it lightly and then take the opportunity to sneak attack us?"

"That's right" Chen Yingliang said furiously: "Shibi's thief chiefs sought peace, but they found that our formation combat capability was too strong and it was difficult to win in frontal combat, so they arranged this poisonous plan and wanted to wipe out our King-Supporting Alliance at the lowest cost."

The Sui army generals were stunned, and then Li Yuan was the first to come back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Mayor Chen, did you just say the Turkic inside line, have you inserted an inside line in the Turkic army?"

Chen Yingliang nodded and then explained: "It was not my intentional arrangement. A Turkic general who was dissatisfied with the Shibi Thief Chiefs took the initiative to contact me, volunteered to act as an insider for us, and secretly provided me with Turkic intelligence."

"Who is this inside?" Li Yuan quickly asked, "Is he reliable?"

"Absolutely reliable. I also know the reason why he betrayed Shibi Thief Chief. He is a reliable person." Chen Yingliang nodded and said, "But I can't say who this person is yet."

"Oh no, will this Turkic insider leak my situation to Chen Yingliang's little thief?" Li Yuan complained in his heart.

"Marrior Chen, you can't joke about this." Xiao Xiao Guojiu trembled, "We have just begun to negotiate peace with the Turks. How could the Turkic army tear up the peace agreement and launch an attack on us immediately?"

"Yes, Marshal Chen, this is a bit unlikely, right?" Yun Dingxing asked in surprise: "The brother of the Shibi Thief Chief, Duke Eliver, is still in our hands. The Shibi Thief Chief, sneaked us without any trust, don't want his brother's life?"

"The Shibi Thief Chief doesn't care about his brother's life or death at all." Chen Yingliang replied: "The Shibi Thief Chief is not just a brother like Eliver. He also has a son, so he needs to care about such a brother? It's best to sneak attack us without any trust. What will happen if he can't save him? At worst, he will marry a large group of his second brother's wife to his third brother. The beautiful Shibi Thief Chief can still keep him by himself. What losses can he have?"

Yun Dingxing was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Bi Khan really didn't have to care about his brother's life or death - just like General Yun could instigate Emperor Yang of Sui to destroy his three grandsons in order to get promoted and make money. The other Sui generals also nodded and recognized Chen Yingliang's analysis. Xiao Guojiu, who is not a king-supporting army, was skeptical and said: "Mr. Chen, who is your inside line? Is it reliable? Is the news he provided true or false? If we reopen the war with the Turks because of a piece of news, how can we explain to His Majesty if the Emperor blames him?"

"If Doctor Xiao thinks this news is unreliable, I can ignore the precautions." Chen Yingliang said coldly: "Doctor Xiao, didn't you just ask to move into Ambassador Li's Taiyuan Military Camp? To be honest, the Turkic army will launch a sneak attack on our camp tonight. The breakthrough he chose happened to be the Taiyuan King's Camp in the northwest corner of our army's camp. If you move in, you will be the first to be the one who will be affected. If you don't want to believe my information, you can go to the Taiyuan King's Camp to rest overnight."

Xiao Guojiu closed his mouth pale, but Yang Nan, the King of Qi who had not said anything before, suddenly showed ecstasy and stood up and said, "It's great. If this news is true, it will be very beneficial to us. We can immediately set up an ambush in Ambassador Li's camp and severely damage the Turkic attack army. At that time, the Turkic attacks us on their own initiative. Even if we reopen the war, we can explain it in front of our father."

Yang Nan reminded that the Sui army generals who were worried about reopening the war and affecting the peace talks nodded one after another, saying that they were right. We arranged traps to ambush the Turkic army. The Turkic army was the first to attack us. We were forced to defend ourselves, not to disobey the order. Chen Yingliang was not polite. He dispatched troops on the spot, using Li Yuan’s Taiyuan Army camp as a trap, and set up a trap to welcome the Turkic army and arrange tasks one by one. Then, when the Sui army generals asked about the time of the Turkic army's dispatch and the time of the sneak attack, Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment, and then answered firmly: "The Turkic army went out of the camp in the third update, with people coming out of the camp, and horses carrying hoofs. The fourth update started to attack our camp. If the Turkic progress was smooth, there was also a possibility of taking action in advance, but it was definitely after the third update and two minutes."

Seeing that Chen Yingliang had even discovered the time for the Turkic army to send troops, the Sui army had no doubts and immediately clasped their fists and sang promises. According to Chen Yingliang's request, he immediately organized the army to arrange ambush. Chen Yingliang left behind the two generals Liu Changgong and Yinshishi Division, and then ordered Liu Changgong: "Brother Liu, you should immediately send a regiment to arrange road signs and boundaries ten miles north. Don't tell them the situation of the Turks attacking us tonight, just let them know that they should not cross that boundary card. Also, find an excuse to give them some wine and meat, and let them take them there to drink and eat meat."

"Brother Yingliang, why did you do this?" Liu Changgong asked in confusion.

"Of course it is to show the enemy's weakness." Chen Yingliang replied: "If we are too vigilant and the Turks temporarily change the time of sending troops, then wouldn't our soldiers work hard for another night?"

Liu Changgong suddenly realized and hurriedly held his fists and took the order. Then Chen Yingliang turned to Yinshi and whispered: "Prince Yin, you make arrangements tonight. After the Turkic army attacked us in the middle of the vassal, you should try to capture a Turkic survivor with enough identity. If you really can't catch an ordinary soldier, you can take the captive to the dark and let him go, and tell him that the reason why we prepared in advance was that they knew their advance route and breakthrough was because there was a sufficient general on the Turkic side who had a secret rebellion and secretly leaked the Turkic military information to us, and asked him to bring the news back and hand it over to the Shibi thief chief, so that the Shibi thief chief could find out the traitor as soon as possible to eliminate the future troubles."

"Why do you do this?" Yin Shishi Master was shocked.

"Don't ask why now. I'll tell you the specific reason tomorrow." Chen Yingliang said in a deep voice: "Anyway, please believe me. I did this for the sake of the Great Sui Dynasty and for His Majesty the Emperor."

Master Yin Shi stared at Chen Yingliang, nodded for a while, and then asked: "There is another question, who do I report to the Turks as a person? Ambassador Li?

Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment and almost wanted to agree, but considering that doing so is too immoral and that the upright Yinshi Master would despise him, Chen Yingliang then said: "Just use the mysterious person who is friendly to Shibizi Chief, don't use Ambassador Li's banner. Although Ambassador Li has a grudge against me, he is a court official after all. He performed very hard in this battle to serve the king. Doing such things under his banner. If the Turks really invite Ambassador Li to contact Ambassador Li, it would be a big trouble.

Yin Shishima smiled, nodded, and then smiled and said, "Marantor Chen, the official is really convinced you. Do you know, if you change your situation with Ambassador Li, I believe Ambassador Li will not hesitate to use your banner to do this, and first frame you, a person who secretly communicates with the Turks to death."
