Four hundred and seventieth chapters shameless betrayal

"How did you contact Chen Yingliang's dog thief, how to act, when to take action, and what is the contact signal? I said, not only will I not kill you, but I will also give you rewards. If you don't say it, I admire you."

"Bah" answered Li Er, Miao Haichao's bloody spit and fearless cursing, "Rebel thief, kill me if you want to kill me, just say nothing. Chen Liushou is kind to me as much as a mountain. He wants me to betray him and wait in a dream. Chen Liushou will be able to break into the city soon. Then see how he cut this traitor into pieces and divide it into five horses...

The crazy beating of the rebel guards interrupted Miao Haichao's struggle and cursed. The guards were very hard-working and beat Miao Haichao to the point of blood and rolling on the ground. However, Miao Haichao still cursed. A guard from the Li family became angry. Yu Qian raised his foot and kicked Miao Haichao's chest. He broke Miao Haichao's ribs on the spot. Blood spurted wildly in his mouth, fainting from pain, and then the Wude Hall became quiet.

When the rebel guards beat Miao Haichao, Li Er, Pei Ji and others kept smiling and staring at Zhu Can, who was pressed to kneel on the ground, didn't say anything. The little eyes of Triangle kept turning around and quickly planned countermeasures. It was not until Miao Haichao was knocked unconscious that Li Er smiled at Zhu Can and said, "General Zhu, it's your turn. Are you as obsessed as Miao Haichao and are looking for death? Or do you obediently and truthfully explain and change your life? Make your own choice."

"What should I do?" Zhu Can was indeed making a decision in his heart, constantly thinking quickly, and said to himself: "If you don't sell someone with the surname Chen, I will have to die now. Before I die, I will have to suffer a lot of flesh and blood. At this time, I will sell someone with the surname Chen, and in the future, I will still be unable to escape and die. If you advance and retreat, you will die. What should I do?"

Li Er knew Zhu Can as early as the Battle of Yanmen. He knew Zhu Can's capricious and selfish and vicious character long ago. Seeing Zhu Can's expression, he knew that he had been shaken. He smiled and said, "General Zhu, why are you hesitating? You are afraid that after Chen Yingliang's dog thieves come into the city, you will still be dead? Then why don't you think about it, can Chen Yingliang's dog thieves be able to enter Daxing City? You are from Central Plains. What is the situation in Central Plains? Don't you know? The rear of Chen Gou Thief is so turbulent. How long can he have a stalemate with us under Daxing City?"

Zhu Can was even more shaken. He knew that Chen Sangliang's rear was indeed unstable, and that Chen Sangliang might indeed retreat because of the emergency in the rear. However, Zhu Can was too clear about the current situation of Li Yuan's rebels and knew that once Chen Sangliang launched a head-on attack at any cost, Li Yuan's rebels might not be able to defend Daxing City. So even if he was shaken, Zhu Can still dare not make up his mind easily.

"If you don't give honest advice, you will be punished immediately." Pei Ji was a little impatient. Yu Qian said, "Left Governor, right Governor, I don't think Zhu Can will tell the truth if he doesn't need to be punished. Just drag him out and use punishment."

It was also coincidental that when Li Er was about to answer the punishment, Dou Wei, who was in charge of the confidential affairs of the rebels, suddenly led a man dressed in a common man to the Wude Hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he shouted happily: "Left Governor, Right Governor, Pei Changshi, good news, great news Xue Ju agreed to form an alliance with us, and had already sent troops. Xue Ju's eldest son Xue Renguo took the vanguard into Fufeng County on October 14th."

"Really?" Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji were both happy and stood up. Dou Wei nodded and confirmed it quickly. He introduced the man he had brought to the palace to the Li brothers and Pei Ji and others, saying that he was a secret envoy sent by Dou, the prefect of Fufeng County, and asked Li Yuan how to get along with Xue Ju's thief army, whether to provide food and grass for Xue Renguo and whether to allow Xue Ju's thief army to enter Fufeng City. He also said that the Sui army's partial division strictly blocked the roads in Meixian area.

Knowing that the Sui army's partial divisions were strictly blocking the road, the extremely smart Li brothers and Pei Ji and others immediately guessed that the messenger sent by Wen Daya might have been intercepted by the Sui army on the way. They were extremely glad that the secret envoy sent by Dou finally escaped the blockade of the Sui army and sent the key news to Daxing City. At this time, Zhu Can, who was also extremely smart, finally made up his mind and quickly shouted: "Two governors, Pei Changshi, I will ask. Chen Yingliang and I agreed to take action to the third update tonight, and open the Chunming Gate to welcome him into the city with three red lights."

Chai Shao glanced at Zhu Can without saying a word. Li Er, Pei Ji and others laughed together. Li Er sneered and said, "General Zhu is indeed smart enough. He knows that our reinforcements are coming. Daxing is sure to defend it and will be recruited immediately. He is really not at all."

"Right Governor, the general of the sin has actually been wanted to take charge of the crime for a long time." Zhu Can said pitifully: "The general deserves to die, the general of the sin is confused for a moment. He did something wrong. The general of the sin is willing to atone for the sake of the sin and help the right Governor defeat Chen Yingliang's dog thief's stole the city. He only asks the general and the two governors to be kind and spare the sin and will not die."

"If you want to survive, of course." Li Er sneered, "Tell me truthfully how you contacted Chen Yingliang's dog thief, and dare to say a word of lies, be careful of your head."

"Damn it, I'm going to give it my best. Anyway, the Chen surname has never been kind to me. Why not sell him to revenge his life first?"

Zhu Can, who was determined, did not even blink his eyelids, immediately introduced the whole story in detail, and told the truth about Chen Sangliang's arrangement to deliberately move closer to the old Li family four years ago. However, Li Er, Pei Ji and others became more and more stunned as they heard it. The more they heard it, the more frightened he became. He was extremely glad that Chen Sangliang saw that there was something wrong with others, so he used Zhu Can, a man who was eager for quick success and instant benefits, and came from the army undercover. Otherwise, Zhu Can had to endure a little more and retreated to the inner city with the rebels and further gained the trust of the rebels. If he took action in the more critical inner city, the old Li family would not be able to cry.

The most incredible thing was Li Jiancheng, who interrupted Zhu Can and asked, "You said that Chen Yingliang had arranged for you to deliberately approach our Li family in Longxi four years ago and embezzled our trust to take the opportunity to spy on the news. Is this really the case?"

"It's true." Zhu Can said with a sad face: "Because of General Chai's affairs, he and the two governors and your family had a great grudge. He was afraid that you would continue to take revenge, so he took advantage of Yun Dingxing's opportunity to bring me back to Dongdu, so he pretended to have deep hatred with him and approached you, and took the opportunity to spy on the news for him. But the sin can swear to heaven that sin did not dare to do anything sorry for you before."

Li Jiancheng was speechless, Li Er sneered repeatedly, but the other person involved Chai Shao had almost no reaction, and he even said in his heart: "He did this just to protect himself."

After hearing Zhu Can finally introduce the whole story, Li Er, Pei Ji and others gradually smiled. Pei Ji smiled and said, "It's so happy that Xue Ju will help. Tonight we can take the opportunity to set up an ambush, annihilate an elite official army, and defeat Chen Yingliang's undefeated dog thief. The turning point of the Daxing battlefield will appear."

"Two governors, the generals are willing to lead the way and kill the enemy and atone for their sins. Please give them the grace." Zhu Can quickly kowtowed and said, "Please rest assured that in order to make Chen Yingliang's dog thief trust, Mo deliberately mentioned the past four years ago in the letter he wrote to him yesterday. Chen Yingliang's dog thief did not send anyone back to stop Mo Generals from acting according to the plan. The official army will definitely come tonight. The two governors only need to set up an ambush in Chunming Gate, and it is easy to wipe out the enemy in full."

Li Er smiled again. After a little calculation, Li Er said to Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji: "Brother, Pei Changshi, it's still early to take advantage of the weather. Let's go to Chunmingmen to see how to arrange it?"

Li Jiancheng and Pei Ji both nodded and praised him. At this moment, the Li brothers immediately decided to go to Chunmingmen to investigate how to arrange the ambush. Dou Wei was temporarily receiving the envoy sent by Dou. Zhu Can and Miao Haichao were handed over to Chai Shao by Li brothers, and Chai Shao was imprisoned in the palace to avoid leaking rumors. Before leaving, Li Er also explained to Zhu Can: "Listen, you can live, don't play tricks. When we break Chen Yingliang's dog thief tonight, tomorrow as long as you go to the city wall and cut Miao Haichao's dog thief alive in front of the official army, we will not only not kill you, but also allow you to continue to serve in the army."

Zhu Can quickly kowtowed and thanked him, agreed without any trace, and obediently accepted the bondage of Chai Shao's subordinates and took him to the palace city for temporary detention. The guard originally wanted to tie Miao Haichao up, but Chai Shao, who had already checked Miao Haichao's injuries, shook his head and said, "He has broken ribs, just tie his hands and feet, and carry it up."

Miao Haichao and Zhu Can were detained in the Imperial Army barracks by Chai Shao. For the sake of caution, Chai Shao also ordered the detention separately, and asked the soldiers to block Zhu Can's mouth with linen. In order to survive, Zhu Can did not dare to resist. He just kept begging Chai Shao to say a few good things to him before being blocked. Chai Shao ignored him and just ordered the Imperial Army guarding Miao Haichao: "Let me find a wounded doctor and get him some medicine to bandage him. This is an important criminal, and he cannot be killed."

It was also coincidental that when Miao Haichao and Zhu Can settled down, Chai Shao happened to meet his new deputy Dugu Huaien, as well as his former friends Yuan Qi and Li Yangcheng who had turned against each other, Yuan Qi and Li Yangcheng, who were forcibly enlisted into the palace as guards of the imperial guards, were as scared as a mouse when he saw Chai Shao. After saluting, he quickly followed Dugu Huaien out of the hall. Chai Shao hesitated for a moment, and then shouted: "Deputy General Dugu, you wait."

Subconsciously stopped, Dugu Huaien and others asked Chai Shao what he had to give, but Chai Shao did not answer. He first ordered the soldiers around him to wait in the hall, then walked to Dugu Huaien and others and ordered: "I haven't been together for a long time. It's fine now. Let's go out for a walk and have a chat."

Dugu Huaien and others, as Chai Shao's subordinates, dared not refuse, so they followed Chai Shao away from the Imperial Guard barracks and were led into the palace garden by Chai Shao. The imperial garden covered with snow was covered with snow, and the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the scenery was very elegant. However, the four former friends had their own ulterior motives, all of them did not say a word, and let Chai Shao lead the way. After they came to a remote rockery, Chai Shao stopped and turned around to face Dugu Huaien, Yuan Qi and Li Yangcheng.

He felt a little guilty when Chai Shao looked at it with a sharp look. Dugu Huaien asked with a strong smile: "Mr. Chai has any instructions, please tell me, let's listen here."

"Did you three quietly leave the city and contact Chen Yingliang?" Chai Shao suddenly asked.

Of course, the three playboys' determination and scheming were much worse than Miao Haichao and Zhu Can. When they heard this sudden problem, the three playboys' faces immediately turned pale together, and quickly denied: "Mr. Chai, what's the matter? Who did you hear? How could we do such a thing?"

Seeing the nervous reactions of three former friends, Chai Shao, who knew the three playboys, suddenly felt at a loss and smiled and bluffed: "You can't hide it from me. Let me tell you the truth. There is a family member among you. In order to please me and give me a chance to avenge me, he has secretly reported to me that you and Chen Yingliang had secretly contacted me."

The most useless Li Yangcheng sat directly on the snow. Yuan Qi took two steps back in succession. Dugu Huaien subconsciously held the handle of the knife, but Chai Shao smiled and said, "Brother Dugu, oh no, cousin Dugu, don't use the knife, you know very well that you three can't beat me together. Also, cousin Dugu, I also know that you asked to guard the three gates of the outer city yesterday, not to resist the attack of the official army, but to open the city gate and let the official army enter the city, right?"

On a cold day, the cold sweat on Dugu Huaien's forehead rolled down. His eyes were full of fear when he looked at Chai Shao, but he didn't expect that since Chai Shao had already known their secrets, why did he bring them here to discuss separately? - Of course, if Dugu Huaien had this mind, he would not have been stupid in history to get scolded by his cousin Li Yuan, and colluded with Liu Wuzhou to make Li Yuan's rebellion.

"Do you want to know whose family members told me the secret?" Chai Shao asked with a smile again.

"Who is it?" The three playboys spoke in unison and asked without asking for help.

The answer to the three playboys was Chai Shao's relieved smile, and he said in his heart that I did not read you correctly. Chai Shao then smiled and whispered: "Who doesn't matter, what's important is that you can rest assured that I won't settle the score with you, and you don't think about it. If I want to seek revenge on you, why don't you tell you about your affairs directly to the governor and the Chief Pei? Why do you still tell you about this in private?"

After receiving Chai Shao's reminder, the three playboys remembered this key problem and their faces immediately returned to normal. After looking at each other for a moment, Li Yangcheng, who was still sitting on the ground, said timidly: "Brother Sichang, do you really care about the past?"

"No matter how deep your hatred between you and me, can you have the deep hatred between Chen Yingliang and me?" Chai Shao asked back, and said lightly: "Chen Yingliang and I are deeply hatred with each other, but they still forgive me and forgive me more than once. Since he can forgive me, why can't I forgive you?"

After saying it lightly, Chai Shao stretched out his hand and said, "Take out the letters you contacted with Chen Yingliang, let me see, I will help you."

He was stunned for a long time until Chai Shao urged him again. Dugu Huaien woke up like a dream and reached into his arms. He took out the hidden letter from the underwear sticker, put his hands into Chai Shao's hand with trembling hands, and then asked with great sensation, "Sichang's nephew, do you really want to help us? The General is your father-in-law."

"The General is not your cousin yet?" Chai Shao asked back, and snorted coldly: "As a son-in-law, I have done my best, but your cousin is father-in-law, hum."

It was getting darker and earlier. Just as the hour of You, the sky in Guanzhong was gradually getting gloomy. A bonfire and torch were growing in the Sui army camp. The Sui army soldiers who were preparing to participate in the night battle were still taking time to rest, while the auxiliary soldiers were nervously preparing supper and Yuliang torch. The camp before the war was particularly quiet.

Just after the beginning of the You hour, Yuan Tiangang's crow mouth worked again. As expected, heavy snow fell from the dark sky, effectively covering the upcoming night attack by the main force of the Sui army, but it was not entirely a good thing. He carefully studied the celestial phenomena and the wind direction. Yuan Tiangang warned Chen Sangliang that after this heavy snow, the temperature in the Daxing area would drop again. If the Sui army soldiers did not quickly get houses that could effectively avoid the cold, and the measures to prevent the cold were prepared, the Sui army soldiers would inevitably suffer from the severe cold.

Yuan Tiangang's warning made Chen Sangliang even more determined to break through the outer city tonight. Although it was too a pity to use Zhu Can's trump card now, Chen Sangliang, who has always regarded himself as a son, for the sake of military morale and soldiers, still had no choice. At the same time, in order to maximize the most dangerous opportunity to destroy Li Er, Chen Sangliang also decided to be the vanguard of the cavalry and order Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong's army to lead the cavalry into the city, and immediately blocked the four gates of Yirenfang, and no enemy was allowed to escape from Yirenfang. Chen Sangliang himself personally led the main force of the rear army to control the city gate and resist the counterattack of the rebels.

Li Jing and Qu Tutong also went to order. Chen Sangliang gave them the order that once the Chunming Gate battle began, he would immediately send troops to attack Mingde and Qixia Gate in the southern city of Daxing, and break the gate as soon as possible at any cost, destroy the enemy in the outer city to the greatest extent and weaken the rebels' combatable power in the inner city as much as possible.

Although there was little hope on the Xuanwu Gate, Chen Sangliang arranged for Liu Heita to lead 3,000 troops to launch a sneak attack, trying to attack Xuanwu Gate with gunpowder explosion tactics.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is not available. At the second moment of the first update, the soldiers of the Sui army who were preparing to participate in the war stood up to prepare for the war, and fed dinner to receive torches and grain. The main generals of each battalion also came to the tent of the Central Army commander and accepted Chen Sangliang's final pre-war arrangements. As a result, Chen Sangliang's arrangement was also very simple, and he ordered: "Send troops in the second update, with people holding pieces and horses wrapped around their hooves, and no sound is allowed. After the city gate of Chunming Gate opened, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong, you must not hesitate, do not worry about fraud, enter the city together immediately, block Yirenfang, and do not leave anyone."

Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong held their fists together and sang promises, but they were completely unaware of Chen Sangliang, who had always been a clever plan, issued an order to die this time. Chen Sangliang was also unaware of the dangerous consequences of his arrangements, and even asked his personal soldiers to fill each general with a bowl of wine, and said, "Generals, it's cold, in order to relieve the cold, and in order to wish us to rest overnight in the city tomorrow night, this bowl of wine."

After saying that, Chen Sangliang gave in to the generals, and put the bowl to his mouth and drank it all. However, at this moment, a messenger suddenly came in outside the tent and bowed to Chen Sangliang and said, "Reported to the left, there are a few people wearing thieves' uniforms, holding your handwritten pass warrant, and went directly to our internal and external camps and came to the Central Army's tent to ask for a visit."

"Didn't you see I'm busy?" Chen Sangliang, who was forced to use Zhu Can's trump card in advance, was in a bad mood and shouted loudly: "When is it? No matter who, I won't see you."

"You really don't see you? Didn't you even see me?" A tender girl suddenly came from outside the tent, and she said with anger: "If you really don't see you, then I'll leave."

Hearing this sweet girl's voice, the generals of the Sui army were inevitably looking at each other, but Chen Sangliang was struck by lightning, and the wine bowl in his hand hit the ground, and then rushed out like a frightened rabbit. He quickly turned over the handsome case in front of him, but Chen Sangliang ignored it and kept screaming in his heart, "How is it possible? How could it be her voice?"

After strode to the door of the handsome tent, Chen Sangliang was stunned again. Under the torches and bonfires, several men in palace guard uniforms stood in the wind and snow. Although the leader was wearing men's clothes, his facial features were delicate and soft, and his pretty face was full of smiles. His clear and beautiful eyes were already filled with crystal tears...

Step by step, Chen Sangliang wanted to open his arms to hug him, but as soon as his arms moved, Chen Sangliang came to his senses and bowed to the woman instead, and choked and said, "My minister Chen Yingliang, I have seen Princess Yang Yu, Princess Jin An."

The stunned Sui army generals followed Chen Sangliang with a bow while he bowed his head and bowed. Yang Yuer's cherry lips moved slightly. Before she could make a sound, two lines of tears had already flowed down her snow-white cheeks. She stared at Chen Sangliang, and after a long time, she choked and said, "Chen Liushou, you have no credit, so I have to wait for another seventeen days."

"I am not trustworthy, but I am not guilty of death." Chen Sangliang almost burst into tears, wishing he could hold his favorite immediately in his arms, but in front of too many people, Chen Sangliang could not do it. He could only look at Yang Yuer with a sore nose. There were thousands of words in his heart, but he could not express it word by word. He was so close that he seemed to be far away from the world.
