Original title Sun Dezhi and several captains planned to attack Wangwu County at night and rescue Cheng Yaojin. They quietly approached the city wall, but unexpectedly heard Cheng Yaojin's broken gong-like voice shouting from the top of the city:
"Sun Dezhi, you stupid donkey, go find Xu Shiji, you are no match for this guy!"
Then Cheng Yaojin shouted again: "Go quickly, don't ruin my plan!"
In the moonlight, it was faintly visible that Cheng Yaojin had been stripped naked and hung upside down on a wooden stake. Two big men next to him were gesturing at him with shining daggers.
"General, what should we do?" a soldier asked softly.
Sun Dezhi bit his lip. Seeing that the other party was ready, he had to wave his hand, "Let's go down first and find General Xu!"
Hundreds of Sui soldiers ran away quickly in the darkness. Seeing that the Sui soldiers were gone, several defenders at the top of the city untied Cheng Yaojin and carried his legs and arms toward the bottom of the city. They heard something from afar.
Cheng Yaojin cursed, "You bastards, get me a pair of pants and put them on!"
The lights were brightly lit in the lobby. Wang Junkuo sat at a small table and drank silently, one glass after another. Obviously he was not in a good mood. There was a silver medal next to the wine pot, which was Cheng Yaojin's military medal. It read
As 'General Zuo Xiaoweiya', he was a senior official from the fourth rank. Wang Junkuo knew very well that Cheng Yaojin's talents and skills were not as good as his own, but he was able to sneak into the position of General Yawei, but his future was still uncertain.
When Wang Junkuo left the Wagang Army angrily, he considered defecting to Li Yuan, but he couldn't let go of the face he had given when he rejected Li Yuan so decisively. At that time, Yang Yuanqing had just started his Eastern Expedition, and the situation was unclear, so he didn't want to rush to defect to him.
In Song Dynasty, King Kong treated him well and treated him favorably.
Although Song Jinggang treated him well, he also had many weaknesses. His biggest weakness was the army. His soldiers were all from Mayi and Yanmen County. This was destined that he would not last long, and Song Jinggang suddenly surrendered.
To Dou Jiande.
Wang Junkuo also did not think highly of Dou Jiande. Although this man was powerful, his background as a bandit prevented him from receiving support from the Shandong gentry. This was Dou Jiande's fatal weakness, and there was no strict system. From the time he named Song Jiande as
The prince of Hanoi can see Dou Jiande's casual nature. Can a title like the prince of Hanoi be granted casually?
Maybe Dou Jiande can win for a while. But there are no rules, no system, and everything is based on his own will. Can such a person achieve great things in the end? Wang Junkuo has also read books. He is very suspicious of such people. If Song Jinjiang surrenders to Dou Jiande, he will definitely pass away.
If Dou Jiande was defeated, he would have to surrender again. He did not want to experience the taste of being a slave with three surnames again.
Song Jingang could no longer surrender to Yang Yuanqing, but Wang Junkuo had nothing to do with Yang Yuanqing. He could surrender completely. Wang Junkuo was a little tempted, but he was a little unwilling to surrender so simply. He wanted to surrender to Yang Yuanqing himself, not to surrender to him.
General.
At this time, a soldier stepped forward and reported: "General Qi, the Sui army has retreated. It seems that they have left."
Wang Junkuo drank a glass of wine and asked: "How is Cheng Yaojin?"
"He's fine. He was just cursing the general."
"What did he scold me for?" Wang Junkuo asked coldly.
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said: "He is scolding the general for being ignorant of current affairs. If he wants to be a eunuch and cut birds in the future, he will have no chance."
"This bastard!"
Wang Junkuo cursed in a low voice and then ordered: "Bring him up to see me."
After a while, Cheng Yaojin was pushed into the lobby. He was wearing a pair of trousers, but his upper body was still naked. As soon as he entered the lobby, he shouted: "Wang Laoer, you are so unloyal. After all, we ate from the same pot back then."
After dinner, I don’t want your mercy, at least give me some clothes to wear, it’s so cold now.”
Wang Junkuo glanced at him and sneered: "You still owe me twenty coins, so I will pay you back the principal with interest for that armor."
"You green locust, I took that armor off Liu Wuzhou's body. It's the best iron armor, worth at least a hundred gold. Damn it, I'm so at a loss."
Cheng Yaojin was rude on the outside but very cunning in his heart. When he saw his military card on Wang Junkuo's table, he guessed that Wang Junkuo was jealous of him. However, in this way, he had a chance to win over Wang Junkuo. In fact, Cheng Yaojin fell into a trap.
At that time, when he heard Wang Junkuo's voice, he had an idea in his mind. Winning over a general would be much greater than capturing a city, so he tried his best to drive Sun Dezhi away. If someone was hurt, it would be a bit difficult to handle.
Cheng Yaojin was very popular when he was in the Wagang Army. He would drink with Wang Junke every now and then, and he knew a little bit about his thoughts. He knew that this man actually attached great importance to fame and wealth, and was arrogant and could only be praised.
, but cannot be forced.
"Okay! Even if the armor repays your debt, for the sake of brotherhood, why don't you treat me to a drink?"
The soldiers on both sides were furious and were about to teach Cheng Yaojin a lesson when Wang Junkuo stopped them and said, "Untie him and let him sit down."
The soldiers had no choice but to untie Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin was secretly happy. He took Wang Junkuo's green robe from the wall and put it on. He sat down carelessly, opened the lid of the pot and poured a bowl of wine into the bowl. "I said,
When did you become so delicate, drinking from a cup, and becoming just like Yang Yuanqing?"
Wang Junkuo's heart moved and he asked him silently: "From your tone, it seems that you are very familiar with Yang Yuanqing?"
"Of course, in the fourth year of Renshou, when I went to Beijing to participate in the martial arts competition, I stayed in an inn with him. He forgot to bring any money with him at the time. It was mine that paid for his room. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time.
He taught me how to practice archery. At that time, there was also the single turtle head, and I even had a fight with him. If Yang Yuanqing hadn't pulled away in time, someone would have almost died."
Cheng Yaojin was talking enthusiastically. After three bowls of wine, he suddenly frowned and said, "I thought I told you."
Wang Junkuo thought about it, Cheng Yaojin seemed to have told him, but at the time he thought he was bragging, and at that time he was bragging about knowing Shan Xiongxin, but at that time he was called Lao Dan, but now he has become Shan Biaotou, Wang Junkuo
Although he knew that Cheng Yaojin was trying to please him, he felt comfortable in his heart. He hated Shan Xiongxin very much and scolded Shan Turtlehead, which was exactly what he wanted.
"I think you are exaggerating a bit. Are you really familiar with Yang Yuanqing?" Wang Junkuo asked a little doubtfully.
"You're a bastard for lying!"
Cheng Yaojin jumped up anxiously. He reached for his silver medal and said, "Did you see that, the second person in charge of the Knight Cavalry Guard, the sub-general of the Knight Cavalry Guard, the general is Xu Shiji, because he is the third in charge of the Wagang Army, so he is highly used."
, who am I? In terms of martial arts, I can't even walk five rounds of you. In terms of riding, damn, I'm not even worthy of carrying your shoes. In terms of merit, I haven't accomplished anything yet. Do you know Ma Shao?
Bian Tou of the Fengzhou Army. He followed Yang Yuanqing when he became the leader. But now he is just Yang Sien's sub-general. Like me, why do you think I can be the sub-general? Isn't it just because of my good personal relationship with Yang Yuanqing?
?”
Wang Junkuo nodded, he believed it a little, considering Cheng Yaojin's ability. Being a general was indeed a bit flattering to him, but Cheng Yaojin was not bad, he could speak and had self-awareness.
Cheng Yaojin's little eyes narrowed. Seeing that Wang Junkuo was a little tempted, he circled around and said, "I might as well reveal a secret to you. In fact, we are two armies going south. Luo Shixin led 10,000 cavalry and Baixing has already entered.
Hanoi County has cut off your retreat. I heard from Xu Shiji that Yang Yuanqing has taken a fancy to Song Jingang's army and wants to recruit all of them to replenish their strength, so none of you can escape and you will all have to be prisoners. Alas! Lao Wang, why bother?
Woolen cloth?"
Wang Junkuo was shocked and felt sweat on his forehead. Yang Yuanqing had actually gone to Baixing to cut off their retreat. He believed this was true. Cheng Yaojin couldn't come up with such a tactic.
Wang Junkuo lowered his head and said nothing. He was extremely conflicted. Cheng Yaojin saw that the soup cake was almost cooked, and there was still less water. He persuaded again: "The emperor has died in Jiangdu, and Yang Yuanqing has established himself as the acting king."
Yang You, in fact, we all know that Yang Yuanqing will ascend the throne and become emperor in the future. If you want to win big money, you have to bet early. A little hairy monkey like me is not worthy of accepting your surrender. To be honest, Xu Shiji is not worthy either. You are.
Hedong people, if you are willing to surrender to Yang Yuanqing, I, Cheng Yaojin, will take you to see him. If you can't get the general, there will definitely be no problem with the sub-general. But I want to tell you, don't even think about the prince of Hanoi. This is a real
The imperial court is not a grassroots team like Dou Jiande, and only Yang Yuanqing can be crowned king. There is still hope for us to become a prince in the future. How about you, would you like to go to Taiyuan with my little brother, and bring your ancestors back home?"
Wang Junkuo was finally persuaded. He glanced at several soldiers. They all nodded to him and expressed their approval for him to surrender to Yang Yuanqing. Wang Junkuo made up his mind resolutely, "Okay! I will go with you to see Yang Yuanqing."
Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed and said quickly: "If you want to be granted a high status, you have to show sincerity. It's not good to meet empty-handed."
"I know, I will hand over Jiyuan County to you."
Under Cheng Yaojin's persuasion, Wang Junkuo finally agreed to surrender to Yang Yuanqing. Cheng Yaojin immediately ordered people to find Sui general Sun Dezhi and handed over Wangwu County to him. He then rushed to Jiyuan with Wang Junkuo.
County, on the afternoon of the next day, Cheng Yaojin entered Xu Shiji's camp.
"Old Xu, I've made a great contribution and come back!" Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly before he reached the tent.
Xu Shiji had just received information from Sun Dezhi, saying that Cheng Yaojin had been captured carelessly. He was worried when he heard that Cheng Yaojin was back. He was surprised and happy at the same time and rushed out to welcome him.
"Weren't you captured? Why did you come back? Nothing happened to you!" Xu Shiji asked repeatedly.
Cheng Yaojin grinned, "How could something happen to me? That idiot Sun Dezhi didn't understand my plan. I knew a long time ago that the other party was trying to catch me, so I used the plan to get them into the city. You see, I took Wang Junkuo
After convincing him, he is willing to surrender to us, and you don't need to fight Jiyuan County."
Xu Shiji was overjoyed. He didn't want to expose Cheng Yaojin's boast. It didn't matter how he was caught. The important thing was to persuade Wang Junkuo to surrender. This was a great achievement.
He gave a thumbs up and said, "Well done. This great achievement is yours. I will definitely show you my merit."
Cheng Yaojin pulled Xu Shiji aside and whispered: "Wang Junkuo's condition is to surrender to the general manager. I will take him to Taiyuan. You write a letter! Tell Wang Junkuo the importance of capturing Jiyuan County this time.
A little face."
Xu Shiji nodded, "That's no problem. When did he say he would surrender?"
Cheng Yaojin looked back at Jiyuan County and saw the city gate wide open in the distance. A group of soldiers came out holding white flags. He smiled and said, "Did you see it? Isn't this coming?"
