retaliate

Chapter 677 A Few Bed Bugs
Chen Fangli dismounted, and the follow-up army continued to advance.

Someone brought a mat, he knelt down, took the cloth towel, and wiped his face carefully.
"Shu Tan!"

He handed the cloth towel to his followers, and seeing Zhan Su staring in the direction of Lin'an, he said, "Take it easy."

Zhan Su said: "This way, His Majesty's envoy will come every once in a while, so the striker must be careful. It can be seen that he is quite afraid of Huang Chunhui. At this moment, the old man is thinking, what Huang Chunhui will be thinking when he hears that my striker army is coming."

"He's about to retire." Chen Fangli took a sip from the water bag, let out a long breath, and immediately dissipated his exhaustion, "He wants to fight this battle! He even wants to fight in his dreams!"

"The old man knows that Chang'an's patience with Huang Chunhui is at the peak of Yingwei's news. If he doesn't get out next year at the latest, Li Mi will tear his face and make people shoot him. In fact... Your Majesty, this old man wants to see you even more." It would be very interesting to think about the infighting between Tang Junchen and his ministers."

"The old man also thought about what would happen if Huang Chunhui didn't go to Lianzhan. Chang'an suppressed Beijiang, and Beijiang countered, but there would be a fight." Chen Fangli smiled, "If there is a fight, it will be a godsend for me in Daliao Good opportunity. You don’t need to do anything, just watch the excitement, help whichever side is weak, the people’s livelihood in the Tang Dynasty will be ruined, and the Tang Dynasty will be full of flames... Unfortunately, this is a dream after all.”

The two were silent for a while, and Zhan Su said: "Actually, the old man knows, Daliao, why not?"

Chen Fangli said indifferently: "At least your majesty will not persecute loyal ministers like Li Mi. That old dog, who has a good foundation and does not cheer up, plays with women all day long, sings and dances, a dog!"

Zhan Su knew that Chen Fangli vented his dissatisfaction with Lin Ya and others by insulting Li Mi.

In their eyes, if it weren't for Lin Ya and others to restrain them, Northern Xinjiang would have ceased to exist at this moment.

"Your Majesty!"

A scout rode over and dismounted to report, "The ranger was just chasing after me, and was hit back by Yang Xuan..."

Chen Fangli took a sip of the water bag and said calmly, "Speak!"

The scout said: "More than five thousand riders lost more than five hundred."

"This is not the first battle." Zhan Su said.

"Bring it here." Chen Fangli rubbed his shoulders, holding the rein for a long time, a little stiff.

The guard of Jinshan City and the generals of the Rangers were brought.

The two knelt down, and the guard of Jinshan City said: "Your Majesty, I have been saying that Yang Gou is cunning with his troops, be careful, don't chase too hard, he won't listen..."

The general bowed his head and trembled all over, but he didn't dare to defend himself.

"Be careful when you say it." Zhan Su said angrily, "Why don't you listen?"

"Warriors have been incompatible since ancient times, so those words are superfluous." Chen Fangli said: "Our army has traveled a long distance, the soldiers are exhausted, and the morale of the army is a bit scattered. The old man was thinking of some way to boost it, and he came just in time."

The general raised his head and was about to call for help, but Zhan Su waved his hand, "I got it."

With one blow, a human head was hung on the flagpole, which was then announced to the entire army.

Immediately, the soldiers of the vanguard army felt awe-inspiring.

The army encamped.

Chen Fangli looked at the sun slanting to the west, paced with his hands behind his back, and ordered: "Send an envoy to Tao County. I want to know what happened to Huang Chunhui."

The envoy brought some special products and was escorted by more than a hundred cavalry to Tao County.

On the way, I met a scout.

Hearing that they were messengers, the scouts searched them, and then took them to Tao County.

When we arrived in Tao County, the sky was already dark.

"not see!"

Huang Chunhui drooped his eyelids, "Before the battle, the generals of the two armies were like brides, they had to be covered. Lao Liao, you are an old man, Zitai went to see him."

"Yes."

Yang Xuan got up, "I don't know if there are restrictions."

"You want to be free?" Huang Chunhui glanced at him, then at Liao Jin.

The old man's eyes are clear and calm.

"Yes."

Since you let me deal with this matter, you can't tie my hands and feet.

When he was a bad person and a bad handsome in Chang'an, the Shangguan was too restrictive, which made it very difficult for Yang Xuan.After arriving in Taiping, Liu Qing didn't care much about him, so Yang Xuan was able to show his fists.

After taking charge of Chenzhou, he is even more unrestrained.

When he arrived in Tao County, Yang Xuan felt that sooner or later there would be conflicts if his hands were tied.

So, he used this matter to give Huang Chunhui a hint.

Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, "Go!"

Yang Xuan resigned.

After he left, Huang Chunhui said: "As we grow older, we are like old cows. Can Lao Liao see that old cows teach calves?"

Liao Jin shook his head, "I've never seen it before."

Huang Chunhui said with a smile: "Every February [-]nd, the day when the dragon raises its head, is the time to train the calf. If you train the calf at this time, you will be obedient from now on."

Liao Jin didn't know why he said this, but kept silent.

"This battle is on February [-]nd. However, the old man is not going to train the calf, not because he is worried about anything, but because this calf is no worse than us in farming. So, what else is there to train?"

After he retired, Liao Jin took over. If he handled it properly, Yang Xuan would be his deputy.

The Jiedu envoy and the deputy envoy cannot fall out, otherwise the trouble will be serious.

Yang Xuan had previously hinted that if he could take the position, he hoped that he would not be too restrictive.

This is his request.

Therefore, Huang Chunhui took the opportunity to hint at Liao Jin.

Liao Jin said: "My husband is too worried. Don't talk about the old man, just talk about Lao Liu. This is his guide and benefactor. But look at Lao Liu..."

Liu Qing didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

Only now did he say: "I can't teach anymore."

This is also Liu Qing's way of coping... That kid is amazing, and the old man can't match it!
It's fine if the hint is in place, but if you talk too much, it will be self-defeating and make Liao Jin unhappy.

Therefore, Huang Chunhui changed the subject, "I don't know what method he will use to deal with the envoy, whether to show weakness to the enemy, or to talk softly."

Yang Xuan came to the front.

There were several lanterns hanging in front, and the messenger stood in the middle, and said dissatisfiedly: "This old man has been here for a long time, no matter how big the air is, someone should come here, right?"

"Do I count?"

The messenger turned back, "You are..."

The sergeant shouted: "This is Mr. Yang!"

Yang Gou... The envoy narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Xuan carefully, "I have seen Mr. Yang."

"You didn't salute!" Yang Xuan stopped.

The envoy cupped his hands and chuckled, "I just forgot."

He looked carefully, and seeing Yang Xuan's half-smile, he couldn't help laughing to himself... The old man just wants to provoke you to make you wait impatiently.

Going abroad is never easy.

The envoy felt that his technique was impeccable.

Yang Xuan came over.

The messenger smiled and waited for him to speak.

"Get out of town!"

Yang Xuan didn't stop, and went straight out of the Jiedu Ambassador's Mansion, "Tell Xianggong, I'm going home."

Messenger, "You!"

The sergeants and officials present were also a little dumbfounded, but they immediately came to their senses, "Get out!"

The envoy was driven out of the city in embarrassment. Huang Chunhui said after hearing the news, "Sleep!"

The old man looked in a good mood.

When Liu Qing went out, an official asked, "Liu Sima, did you do the right thing about driving the messenger?"

Liu Qing said: "The two sides are going to fight each other, and there is no prisoner in the hands of the other side. What are we talking about? It is reasonable to drive them out."

The messenger returned to the camp.

"Then Yang Xuan ordered the subordinate officials to be kicked out."

Chen Fangli was not angry, and said thoughtfully: "Huang Chunhui is trying to build up momentum for Yang Xuan step by step? It's a pity that he was in a hurry, otherwise he can take advantage of it."

Zhan Su asked, "Provocation?"

"Liao Jin was born as a fierce general, with an aloof personality, so it's best to provoke him. But it's too late now." Chen Fangli felt a little regretful, "However, it's not a bad thing to know these things. It can be used during a war."

Zhan Su said: "Our army is exhausted at the first arrival, and the Tang army will definitely provoke it. If you can't defend it, my lord, it will inevitably kill your morale."

Chen Fangli said indifferently: "Who said the old man has to be careful?"

Zhan Su, "The king means..."

"Although our army has arrived for the first time, the army is behind us. At this moment, the whole northern border will definitely be shaken. Before the arrival of the Chinese army, the forwards must show their prestige and the momentum of our Daliao until the arrival of the Chinese army. The momentum is high... so, Attacking and attacking can be like mercury pouring down the ground, and it can be freely swayed."

"This is momentum!" Zhan Su narrowed his eyes, "Your Majesty's use of troops has become more far-sighted."

"When you sit in this position, it will naturally be the same." Chen Fangli took a sip of tea, his eyes darkened, "Lin Ya has been staring at the old man recently, trying to drive the old man away. But the old man has no reason to catch him, he What can I do? The only way to find out the old man's mistakes is by taking advantage of this battle..."

Zhan Ya's brows were more worried, "My lord, Lin Ya is vicious, so our army should be cautious."

"It seems that there is no big mistake in being cautious, but if the old man leads the forward, if he just guards the camp, Lin Ya and others will impeach him, saying that the old man does not want to make progress... Zhan Su, the contradictions of Daliao for many years, this time through Nanning Zheng, I am afraid that all of them will explode."

Zhan Su sneered, "But this is also our chance, isn't it. His Majesty is also waiting to catch Lin Ya and others."

"Your Majesty..." Chen Fangli pointed to his chest, "Your Majesty's body is not very good after changing from the palace."

"That bastard who abolished the prince!" Mentioning this, Zhan Su gritted his teeth, furious, "He actually poisoned you!"

"Your Majesty originally wanted to wait until the next year to go south, but he was worried that his body would not be able to support his own conquest. Secondly, Huang Chunhui had put on the stance that he would fight a battle before he took office. If His Majesty does not move, the northern border army will make a big move." If you move out, Daliao will be passive."

Chen Fangli said calmly: "Therefore, this is His Majesty's last personal conquest. His Majesty will do his best, this old man will do his best, and the soldiers will do their best. The fate of the Liao Dynasty is here!"

……

Boom!

There was rumble of thunder, He Lianfeng was sitting in the big tent, on the table, a lamp was like a bean, illuminating the tent dimly.

He Lianfeng was reading the memorabilia, either sneered, or felt relieved, and then wrote a reply.

"His Majesty!"

Someone outside the tent spoke.

He Lianfeng put down the brush, "Come in."

Lin Ya and several courtiers came in.

"Your Majesty, after camping, the food distributed by the luggage is a bit off..." Lin Ya looked at He Lianfeng calmly.

"Oh!" He Lianfeng said indifferently: "You want me to uphold justice?"

"The matter has been resolved, but the person in charge of luggage is a bit domineering, I dare not be arbitrarily appointed."

"I see."

"Minister, leave."

The curtain was lifted, and it was raining outside.

Big drops of rain fell on the ground, and then a heat wave rushed in.

He Lianfeng smelled the smell of mud, covered his chest, and gasped for breath a few times.

"Nie Zi!" He cursed a little weakly.

"Your Majesty." Privy Envoy Xiao Hua came, and met Lin Ya face to face outside the tent, both of them just nodded indifferently.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Hua came in, and the attendant put down the curtain.Xiao Hua said: "Previously, Lin Ya and others' subordinates clamored, saying that the food supply was low, and the minister went to check, but there was nothing wrong with it."

He Lianfeng said indifferently: "He is just reminding me that if you want to touch him, you have to think about the consequences of rebellion."

During the war, the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty suddenly had civil strife. How can this battle be fought?
"It's all cancer!" Xiao Hua said.

"When fighting, they dare not mess around." This is also the reason why He Lianfeng dared to take Lin Ya and others and the army they controlled to march south.

Xiao Hua suppressed his anger, "Your Majesty, there is news from the vanguard, there are still three days' journey away from the northern border, and Tang army scouts have been found scattered."

"Tang Jun's scouts are very bold." He Lianfeng got up and pointed to the curtain, "It's a bit boring, open it."

The servant opened the curtain, and the sound of rain and hot and humid air rushed in. Not only was it not cool, but it became more and more stuffy.

He Lianfeng looked outside, "Our army has been preparing for this battle for a long time. I have planned for several years to defeat the northern army. Once the northern army falls, there will be no obstacles in front of the army. I want to go to Chang'an Take a look, I want to go to the palace, I want to go to the pear garden."

……

Huang Chunhui did not block the news of the Northern Liao striker's arrival in northern Xinjiang, but sent the news to various places as soon as possible.

The atmosphere of the war gradually became stronger.

The enemy scouts kept approaching Taoxian and other places, and even appeared on the outskirts of Lin'an.

"Very bold!"

Cao Ying stood on the top of the city, watching more than a hundred Beiliao scouts showing off their martial arts outside the city.

"The main force of Chenzhou's army has been taken away. It's a pity that Tanzhou has also been abolished, otherwise it would have been defeated in one battle."

Liang He, the scout of the Northern Liao Army, said resentfully.

But then he lifted his spirits, "This time we have sneaked into Chenzhou Yaowu, and we have done a lot of credit."

A sergeant said: "Toutou, we have few people, so let's go back!"

Liang He pointed at the top of the city, imitating the calm attitude of the Shangguan commanding the fight, and smiled: "Look at the top of the city, there are not many defenders, and all the civil servants have come up, so it can be seen that the troops in the city are empty. At this time, when we show off our martial arts, the soldiers and people in the city will inevitably Terrible, if not done well, Tao County will send reinforcements to Lin'an, this is a great achievement!"

"We have few people!" The subordinates were most worried about this.

"Let's run as soon as they open the city gate, what are we afraid of?"

Liang He pointed at the top of the wall, "Scream!"

"Bitch dog!"

"Miss Ganni!"

"Tang people are hogs!"

These scouts scolded happily.

"The city gate is open." A scout shouted.

"Let's wait first." Liang He said excitedly, "Wait for them to come out."

It's like fishing. Don't rush to pull the fish when you get the bait, just slip away for a while.

Hundreds of riders rushed out of the city, and Liang He shouted: "Yang Gou called himself a famous general of the Tang Dynasty in vain, and he was humiliated by Yeye's leader today, hahahaha!!"

Yaowu under the city is the most damaging to the morale of the enemy, so Yang Xuan wanted to parade under the city of Tanzhou.

Liang He drew his sword, pointed at the top of the city, and shouted:
"Next time, yeah yeah come again!"

Qi Qi, one of his subordinates, pointed his long knife at the top of the city and shouted, "Next time, yeah come again!"

He turned around with his subordinates.

Ahead, a dense mass of cavalry.

A large flag fluttered in the wind.

Under the banner, Xin Wuji said calmly: "The bugs are extinct!"
