"Chen Leng." Du Fuwei frowned and looked at Li Jing in front of him. He seemed to want to see something from Li Jing's face. He didn't understand why Li Jing, who originally just wanted to pass by Liyang, suddenly mentioned it to him. Such a person. When Chen Leng was defeated, Li Jing should have already set off from Luoyang. Today at the gate of the city, he is about to set off. How could he think of asking about this Chen Leng?
"That's right. It's Chen Leng." Li Jing smiled faintly, but his face did not show any fluctuation. He just said calmly: "This Chen Leng can be regarded as Yu Wenhuaji's accomplice. After the Jiangdu Incident, As a minister of the Sui Dynasty, Chen Leng did not think about avenging his father. Instead, he accepted Yu Wenji's appointment. The King of Liang wanted to put aside his relationship with the Yuwen family. Naturally, no one could do anything to the traitor of the Yuwen family. Let it go. So, I would like to ask the King of Chu to make it easier for you to hand over Chen Leng to Li."
After listening to Li Jing's words, Du Fuwei also fell into silence. Seeing that Du Fuwei had no reaction, Fugongyou who was next to him became anxious. From the beginning, he advocated taking a talent like Chen Leng into his own hands. .Now Li Jing actually wants to take Chen Leng away. And Du Fuwei even showed signs of agreeing. Fu Gongyou immediately shouted: "Du Gong, no. Then Chen Leng..."
"Okay. Stop talking." Du Fuwei frowned. He was still a little hesitant at first. This Chen Leng came to join him. It was simply a trouble for Du Fuwei. Not only what Ximen Junyi said before The reason, and more importantly, is that Chen Leng has a high prestige in the Jianghuai area. Otherwise, Yu Wenhuaji would not have appointed him as the governor of Jiangdu. After he arrived in Liyang, more than one person had begged him to spare Chen Leng's life. Although Du Fuwei has changed a lot, there is one thing that will never change. That is Du Fuwei does not want his reputation in the Jianghuai Army to be surpassed by others. Therefore, before that, Du Fuwei He had long had the idea of killing Chen Leng. He just considered that killing Chen Leng would have a certain impact on his prestige, so he didn't take action. Now Li Jing takes the initiative to take over this hot potato. Du Fuwei naturally I was willing. After he stopped drinking Fu Gongyou, Du Fuwei said to Li Jing: "Since General Li has spoken, for the sake of the alliance between the two armies, I will do this favor for General Li. Come here." Bring Chen Leng over to me."
Du Fuwei has indeed changed a lot. At least he didn't have so many twists and turns before. Handing over Chen Leng solved a big trouble for him. But he said that he sold Li Jing a favor. Obviously Du Fuwei The city gradually became more powerful. But Li Jing didn't care at all about Du Fuwei's scheme. He smiled faintly, nodded and said, "The King of Chu is righteous. Li will naturally keep it in mind. There will be opportunities in the future. I will definitely repay you."
"Hahahaha. It's easy to talk about." Du Fuwei was also very happy after successfully selling Li Jing a favor. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "We are all in the same boat. How can we not repay the favor? General Li's words are too much. Too much.”
Du Fuwei's words were just polite. Naturally, Li Jing would not really believe it. After a while, several sergeants escorted a middle-aged man and quickly walked to Du Fuwei and Li Jing. One of them said to Du Fuwei cupped his fists and shouted: "Commander Chen Leng, bring him here." As they said that, several of their sergeants lifted the middle-aged man in front of Du Fuwei.
This middle-aged man is Chen Leng. The former Right Guard General is now a down-and-out man. He is wearing a moon-white short coat and trousers. His hair is messy and his face is completely gray. Although Chen Leng was also under house arrest by Du Fuwei before, at least he was treated politely. But just now, these sergeants suddenly burst in through the door. Without saying a word, they tied him up and took him over. And look. After arriving at Du Fuwei, Chen Leng remained silent. From the moment he was put under house arrest by Du Fuwei, he had already guessed that Du Fuwei would kill him. So now he didn't have many surprises. He just closed his eyes and waited for death.
After taking a look at Chen Leng's appearance, Du Fuwei smiled and said to Li Jing: "General Li, this traitor's comrade Chen Leng has already suppressed him. General Li, why don't you kill this thief today to sacrifice the flag for General Li's future?" Go north to capture Yu Wenhuaji and seek good luck."
Hearing Du Fuwei's words, Li Jing smiled faintly, shook his head and said, "Chen Leng has been captured. Killing him is easy. But Li's intention is to capture him until he captures Yu Wenhua and later." . They were taken to Luoyang together to wait for the punishment of the Emperor and the King of Liang, and then they were executed to express gratitude to the world."
"Oh." Hearing what Li Jing said, Du Fuwei narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Jing with interest. He said, "General Li said that. It seems that he is very confident in going north to conquer Yuwen Huaji. However, I still want to remind General Li. Although Yu Wenhuaji is running away now, his troops are still there. General Li only has these more than 3,000 troops. It may be difficult to capture Yu Wenhuaji. What's more, Liyang, Gaoyou is clear. But catching up with Yu Wenji, who has already arrived in Weizhou, may not be that easy. General Li, it is better to be cautious."
"Thank you King Chu for reminding me. Li should be careful." Li Jing accepted Du Fuwei's reminder with a smile. No one knew whether he took it to heart or not. Then Li Jing shouted to the soldiers behind him. : "Come here. Capture the traitor Chen Leng."
As Li Jing shouted, four or five people came up immediately. They took Chen Leng directly from the hands of the Jianghuai Army sergeant. Then they escorted him directly into the Liang Army's formation. When they saw Chen Leng, they got it. Li Jing smiled and bowed to Du Fuwei, cupping his fists and saying, "King Chu, Li has taken his leave." After saying that, Li Jing got on his horse, waved his hand, and led three thousand Liang troops out of the city gate. .Heading towards the north.
At the city gate, Du Fuwei watched Liang Jun leave without speaking. His eyes kept flashing, as if he was thinking about something. And behind him, Wang Xiongshu, Ximen Junyi and Fu Gongyou All of them frowned and had their own thoughts.
Let's talk about the fact that Liang Jun led by Li Jing moved in a hurry after leaving Liyang. After walking for more than an hour, Li Jing looked back and saw that there was no shadow in Liyang City. Li Jing immediately waved to stop. He stopped the soldiers and horses behind him and ordered the soldiers to form a defensive formation. Li Jing himself rode his horse to the center of the formation. Here, Lai Hong and Lai Zheng were already holding Chen Leng and sitting on a big rock. Next. As for the rope on Chen Leng's body, it has already been untied. However, Chen Leng was a little confused about this sudden change. He looked at Li Jing and others with doubts on his face.
Li Jing turned over and dismounted. He clasped his fists at Chen Leng and said with a smile: "I have heard about General Chen's reputation for a long time. It is really a blessing for Li to meet General Chen today. In order to save the general, I have offended the general a lot. Please forgive me, general." "
Chen Leng was even more confused by Li Jing's arrogant and respectful attitude. Seeing Li Jing's courtesy, Chen Leng quickly stood up and saluted Li Jing with cupped fists. He said, "Chen Leng, the sinner, how can he be worthy of Li Jing?" The general is so ridiculous. Alas, I was greatly favored by the late emperor, but I failed to protect him. On the contrary, I helped the emperor to do evil. Chen Leng's reputation has long been ruined. Where does the prestige come from? General, please don't make fun of me."
Hearing what Chen Leng said, he was obviously very remorseful for having succumbed to Yu Wenjie's inferiority. Hearing Chen Leng's words, Li Jing laughed and said, "General Chen's words are wrong. The general is right." The Sui Dynasty was very loyal. Li had heard about it a long time ago. As for giving in to the rebels, it was a helpless move. Everyone in the world has eyes. How could he blame General Chen for this? Haha. By the way, Liulang, go and invite her. Come up. Speaking of which, we rescued General Chen from Liyang. We were also entrusted by others."
After Li Jing said the last sentence, Chen Leng couldn't help but be stunned. Who would ask Li Jing to save him after being entrusted by others? Soon, he led a soldier out of the military formation. He saw that The soldier was thin and thin. He was wearing a suit of armor that was obviously a bit big. As soon as he saw Chen Leng, he immediately shouted: "Daddy."
Hearing this shout, Chen Leng was also shocked. He turned his head and looked at the soldier with excitement on his face. He immediately stepped forward quickly, took the soldier in his arms, and shouted: "Lian Son, is it really you? You. You escaped. How pitiful. You escaped."
Seeing Chen Leng's excited look, Li Jing smiled. He waved to Lai Hong and Laizheng, calling them over and leaving Chen Leng and Chen Leng alone. This soldier was none other than someone else. It was Chen Lian'er, Chen Leng's only daughter. When Chen Leng went south to suppress the bandits, he had predicted that he would stay in Jianghuai for a long time, so he brought his family to Jianghuai. Later, he was defeated by Du Fuwei. Chen Leng also brought his family with him. The son stayed in Jiangdu. Due to the changes in Jiangdu, Chen Leng did not want to submit to Yu Wenhuaji. But Yu Wenhuaji threatened the lives of Chen Ling's family. This made Chen Leng submit.
After Li Zitong conquered Jiangdu, during the war, Chen Leng had no time to take care of his family. In the end, he had to escape by himself. He thought that his family had been buried in Jiangdu. But he didn't expect to meet his daughter here today.
Li Jing watched Chen Leng and Chen Lian'er, father and daughter, hugging each other and crying. He couldn't help but sigh. It was Chen Lian'er who risked his life to find Li Jing and asked Li Jing to save Chen Leng. That's why there was such a place at the city gate. And for Li Jinglai It is said that it is not just out of kindness that he comes to the rescue. A veteran like Chen Leng, who has been on the battlefield for many years, is also a rare talent. Now Wanhe is using people to make use of such talents.
