The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 468 Who's Shameless?
Yu Chigong didn't know that his son had worked so hard for him, and now he was leading an army towards Phoenix City.

"How far is it to Phoenix City?" Yu Chigong asked Wang Junke beside him.

"It's less than fifty miles away. It is estimated that the vanguard army has already arrived at Phoenix City." Wang Junke said to Yu Chigong.

"Send the order to speed up the march. You must join the vanguard army before tonight." Yu Chigong nodded and said.

Although Yu Chigong asked Cheng Chuliang to lead troops to attack Phoenix City, he was not really relieved.After all, this Phoenix City is not a small city
So he was naturally extremely anxious, really afraid that something would happen to Cheng Chuliang's high spirits.

……

Sure enough, before it got dark that night, Yu Chigong arrived at the Phoenix City.But what surprised him was that he didn't even see the shadow of the vanguard
So he opened his mouth and asked Wang Junke beside him, "Where did you say Cheng Chuliang went? Why didn't you even see a big camp?"

"The last general is also wondering. But the last general has sent scouts to investigate. It won't be long before we hear about them." Wang Junke said to Yu Chigong.

As soon as Wang Junke finished speaking, he saw that the scout had returned.He got off his horse and said, "Report to Generalissimo, General Wang. No vanguard army has been found within a radius of tens of miles."

This moment made Yu Chigong and Wang Junke look worried.After all, Cheng Chuliang won't just disappear for no reason.

There is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is that the vanguard army has been made dumplings by Ruan Shiliang.The army has been wiped out.

"No way, let's not say that there is Xue Rengui in the vanguard army. No one can eat 10 horses in one bite." Yu Chigong said to himself.

At this time, the gate of Phoenix City was opened and the suspension bridge was also lowered.A pair of men and horses came out directly from the city.

This can't help but surprise Wang Junke and Yu Chigong.Only Yu Chigong said: "Immediately order the whole army to prepare for battle."

After Wang Junke snorted, he ordered people to beat the war drum.The whole army showed their weapons together, and only waited for Yu Chigong to give the order.

Seeing that the man and horse were about to approach, they suddenly changed their formation.It became a formation that lined the road to greet them.

At the same time, several war horses rushed out from the middle, and ran directly towards Yu Chigong.

When these war horses approached, Yu Chi Gong finally saw who was on the horses.It turned out to be Cheng Chuliang, Cheng Chumo, and Du He.

Yu Chigong couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and asked Cheng Chuliang directly, "Didn't you surrender to Goguryeo, kid?"

"What did the Generalissimo say, do you think I, Cheng Chuliang, are the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" Cheng Chuliang said to Yu Chigong after rolling his eyes.

"You didn't surrender, why did you bring people out of Phoenix City. Could it be that Ruan Shiliang invited you to the city for a drink?" Yu Chigong asked Cheng Chuliang.

"The last general has successfully captured Phoenix City according to your instructions, Generalissimo. And he has brought the entire Phoenix City under control." Cheng Chuliang said with a proud expression.

"You guys don't play sloppy with this commander here. Didn't you say that Ruan Shiliang is more cunning than Zhang Hanlin? You just arrived in Phoenix City, and you won a battle?" Yu Chigong didn't believe Cheng Chuliang's nonsense.

At this moment, a white dragon horse rushed out of the city, and the person sitting on it was none other than Li Shimin's virtuous minister Xue Rengui.

Seeing Xue Rengui coming in front of Yu Chigong, he said: "Marshal, I don't know why this Ruan Shiliang abandoned the city. He also took away all the people in the city."

"The last general led his men to chase all the way to the Yalu River, but it was a pity that he was one step too late. The soldiers had already crossed the Yalu River, and the rest were only the people crossing the river."

"What did you say, you said that Ruan Shiliang gave us the Phoenix City for no reason?" Yu Chigong asked Xue Rengui with an expression of disbelief.

"Although the last general can't believe it, this is what really happened." Xue Rengui nodded and said.

This time, Yu Chigong didn't have any doubts anymore, he just laughed loudly and said: "Now, I don't have to suffer for Yuchigong's ass. The emperor asked me to take down Phoenix City in one month, and now I only have three or four days to do it." arrive."

Seeing Yu Chigong's ecstasy, Cheng Chuliang couldn't help curling his lips.And said in a low voice: "I think I was shameless enough just now. I didn't expect that compared with our Generalissimo, I really pale in comparison."

At this time, Yu Chigong was in a happy mood, but he didn't bother Cheng Chuliang to mutter there.Instead, he said directly: "In this case, then take me into the city."

But Xue Rengui shook his head, and said to Yu Chigong: "Marshal, I think it's best for you not to enter the city."

Hearing that Xue Rengui refused to let him enter the city, Yu Chigong couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.And he asked Xue Rengui, "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"

"Grand Marshal, the last general always feels that this matter is too strange. Even if Gai Suwen is going to abandon Phoenix City and retreat to the Yalu River in order to preserve his troops. He has no need to do so."

"So the general is worried about fraud, and is going to let the generalissimo divide his troops into two groups. One is [-] miles south of Phoenix City, and the other is [-] miles north. Set up two big camps." Xue Rengui said to Yu Chigong. .

After hearing this, Yu Chigong couldn't help but nodded, and then said: "Your boy is right, in this way, the two big camps and Phoenix City will become horns."

"Even if Ruan Shiliang has some tricks, we can support each other at that time. We won't be afraid of being trapped in the city by him."

"The Generalissimo is the Generalissimo. Brother Xue just said a few words. The Generalissimo has already understood the key point." Cheng Chuliang said to Yu Chigong with a flattering expression.

"Don't flatter me there, kid. You immediately take your people to set up camp fifteen miles south of the city." Yu Chigong said to Cheng Chuliang with a face of ungratefulness.

"General Marshal, you can do as long as you want, since I followed you across the sea to conquer the east and sleep in tents. Finally, there is a city, let me live in the city for a few days." Cheng Chuliang said to Yu Chigong with a pitiful expression.

"You mean to let the commander-in-chief go to the south of the city to set up camp, and then leave you to enjoy in this Phoenix City?" Yu Chigong said, looking at Cheng Chuliang playfully.

Cheng Chuliang instantly sensed something was wrong, and said directly to Yu Chigong: "The last general takes orders, and now take people to the south of the city to set up camp."
