Chapter 1042 A strange combination of circumstances
Lei Wanchun never dreamed that the senior official of Wei Bo's army in the county was none other than Tian Chengsi, the military governor of Wei Bo.
Tian Chengsi was not here to collect food supplies. He was going to Xiangzhou and passed by Liyang County. Unexpectedly, he happened to encounter the Tang army attacking Liyangcang.
Tian Chengsi had already gotten up and was drinking tea, preparing to leave at the fifth watch.
The soldier's report immediately shocked him. How could it be possible? How could there be Tang troops in Liyang County?
As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly remembered the news that Li Fuguo sent someone to inform him. The emperor had sent rescue to King Qi, and King Qi Li Ye would send troops to support Weizhou.
Tian Chengsi was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, leaving him stunned. He thought Li Ye's army was still in Guanzhong, but he never expected that Li Ye's army had already come and attacked Liyang. How could he know nothing?
"Lord, leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
"Follow the order!"

Wei Feng was originally the prison chief of Qinghe County and had quite a reputation as a chivalrous man. Tian Chengsi made an exception and promoted him to join the army as Cangcao. This time, he was appointed magistrate of Liyang County and also the director of Liyangcang.
Hearing that the army of King Qi had arrived, the officials of the warehouse immediately opened the inner door, and Lei Wanchun led his army into the inner warehouse. This meant that the world-famous Liyang warehouse officially fell into the hands of King Li Ye of Qi.
Lei Wanchun's eyes widened suddenly, and he grabbed Wang Kai's shirt, "What did you just say?"
"How would I know!"
"Don't resist!"
Lei Wanchun nodded, "I will bear everything, and Mr. Wei will continue to serve as the magistrate of Liyang County!"
At this time, he no longer cared about Li Baochen's life and death. It was best to follow his previous plan and Li Baochen's army was completely wiped out by the Qi King's army, so that he could successfully annex Li Baochen's territory.
"Why don't I know you? In the eleventh year of Tianbao, you killed the son of Sima Liu Ji in Beizhou and were imprisoned in the death row of Qinghe County. I was the head of the cell. It was I who let you escape. Have you forgotten?"
Lei Wanchun was not very interested in Cangcao's deputy joining the army. He was more concerned about the opening of Cangcheng.
Several soldiers nearby were furious and drew their swords to attack Wei Feng. Lei Wanchun shouted: "Stop it, everyone!"
Lei Wanchun narrowed his eyes, "Do you know me?"
"It would be a big mistake if you really cut them off. Tian Chengsi and Li Baochen are still of great use to the King of Qi. If all the tigers and wolves in the mountains are wiped out, then what are the hunters doing?"
Several soldiers rushed in, forced Tian Chengsi out, and helped him onto the horse. Tian Chengsi asked in a trembling voice: "What is the situation outside the city now?"
As the sky gradually dawned, the city gates of Liyang County opened wide, and county captain Wang Kai led a group of officials out of the city to surrender.
Tian Chengsi led his soldiers to rush out of the city gate and ran towards Jixian County, but he only took a few dozen steps. When the cool breeze blew, he suddenly realized that there were only 5,000 defenders in Yuancheng, his home base. If the Tang army went there again,
What to do if you attack Yuancheng secretly?
He took a breath of cold air, took out the token and handed it to two soldiers and said: "You rush to the Ji County camp and order the eldest son to retreat immediately!"
Cao Shan entered Cangcheng from the water transport port and explained the situation. The dozen or so officials in Cangcheng were all Tang Dynasty officials, and only the county magistrate Wei Feng was in charge.
"Where is the county magistrate?"
Not long after, the county magistrate Wei Feng was escorted up by the soldiers. Lei Wanchun grabbed him by the neck and gritted his teeth and said: "You bastard, how dare you lie to me?"
Wang Kai smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't hear about Deputy Cang Cao joining the army, and I didn't hear about Liu Di. Only Tian Chengsi passed by Liyang last night and stayed overnight in Liyang."
Lei Wanchun nodded and asked, "Tian Chengsi should be in Ji County now, right?"
Lei Wanchun took off the opponent's hat and saw a long scar on the opponent's forehead. Lei Wanchun was shocked. He quickly drew his sword and cut off the opponent's rope, bowed his head and said, "My benefactor is above, I accept Lei Wanchun."
Pay homage!"
Wei Feng quickly helped him up and sighed: "The God of Thunder has become a famous general. What a blessing!"
"You'll know when you take off your hat!"
A quarter of an hour later, Lei Wanchun received news from the scouts that a cavalry force of more than 100 people escorted Liu Di, Cang Cao's deputy to the army, and fled Liyang County from the West City Gate towards Xiangzhou.
Wei Feng raised his head and laughed, "I'm not one of yours, so why can't I lie to you? I covered my lord's escape. Is it wrong? If I betray my lord, I will be punished with death!"
"Dismount!" the Tang Army's scout brigade commander said coldly.
"Tens of thousands of troops surrounded the military camp and seemed to be shooting the brothers in the camp with arrows!"
Two thousand six two zero four four two two two
Lei Wanchun said for a long time: "His Royal Highness King Qi did not issue this order. I thought His Highness did not think of this. I am also prepared to cut off the retreat of the enemy forces in Weizhou on my own initiative."
The two soldiers took the order and rushed south. Tian Chengsi turned his horse and led more than a hundred cavalry towards Xiangzhou. He wanted to lead Xiangzhou's army to withdraw to Weizhou.
Wang Kai was afraid of being implicated, so he went back to the county government office to clean up the matter.
Wei Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad. If you can control your emotions, you are quite qualified as a general. You are no longer the God of Thunder you were back then."
Lei Wanchun hesitated, "Are you Wei Laozi?"
"General, Tian Chengsi was in the county seat last night!"
"What!"
Lei Wanchun frowned. There were county magistrates who were arrested and county captains who surrendered. What about the county magistrate?
Hearing that it was Cansao's deputy who joined the army, the scouts stopped chasing them. The scout brigade commander ordered: "Take them away!"
Lei Wanchun was stunned, "How can you say this?"
Lei Wanchun said angrily: "Where are the others now?"
Wei Feng and his men dismounted, and the scouts collected their weapons and tied several people up behind their backs. The leading scout, the brigade commander, pressed the tip of his spear against Wei Feng's chest and shouted, "Who is the person who escaped just now?"
"He ran away at five o'clock, and escaped with County Magistrate Wei. You caught the magistrate, but not Tian Chengsi?"
Wei Feng smiled slightly and said: "Actually, General Lei, there is no need to hold grudges. Although I let Tian Chengsi go to repay his kindness, it will also do you no harm. If His Highness King Qi is here, he will appreciate you letting Tian Chengsi go."
Heir."
"It's Liu Di, deputy director of Cao's army in Wei Bo's army, who came to Liyang to collect food supplies!"
As soon as Tian Chengsi left, more than twenty Tang army scouts rushed over and surrounded the county magistrate Wei Feng and several of his men.
Lei Wanchun realized that he had been fooled, and he said anxiously: "Isn't it Liu Di, the deputy deputy of Cangcao who joined the army, who escaped with the county magistrate? He came to Liyang to collect food."
Lei Wanchun was a Taoist priest who came down from the mountain. He was very skilled in martial arts. He was a chivalrous and righteous man in the southern part of Hebei Province. He hated evil and hated evil. Because of his famous hot temper, he was called the God of Thunder in the world.
Lei Wanchun was furious and ordered: "Bring the county magistrate up!"
"Magistrate Wei, are there any enemy troops outside Xicheng?"
Wei Feng stopped his men and said to the Tang army scouts: "I am Wei Feng, the magistrate of Liyang County. I don't want to surrender to you. If you want to kill me, I will kill you without any nonsense!"
"Reporting to the general, both the county magistrate and the county magistrate followed General Xue and fled to Ji County. Tian Chengsi only appointed the county magistrate but not the county magistrate."
"Don't you understand His Highness the King of Qi's intention? He did not ask you to attack Yuancheng, but Liyang. This shows that His Highness the King of Qi does not want to destroy Tian Chengsi at all. If I am not wrong, His Highness the King of Qi did not order you to cut off Tian Chengsi.
The retreat route for the 40,000 enemy troops in Weizhou, right?"
Lei Wanchun asked in confusion: "What do you know?"
"There may be Tang Army scouts. My lord, just leave. I will cover you in my humble position!"
"Tian Chengsi was in the county last night, didn't the general know?"
County Captain Wang Kai was stunned and whispered for a long time: "Don't you know, General?"
The soldiers stopped bitterly. Lei Wanchun restrained his anger and said coldly: "I was careless. Killing you will only make me more incompetent. If I don't kill you, let His Highness King Qi deal with you!"
Lei Wanchun suddenly realized that if Wei Feng hadn't reminded him, he would have almost made a big mistake.
He suddenly felt that Wei Feng's appearance at this time was God's will!
