At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 637 Familiar Recipes

After Gao Bufan decisively annexed Dou Jiande's territory, almost the whole of Hebei was included in the territory of Qi State, and the remaining Wei Commanderies, Ji Commanderies and Wuyang Commanderies were still controlled by Li Mi, so the world at this time has been faintly formed Li Tang, Gao Qi, and Li Wei were three pillars of the situation, in addition to Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe, Xue Ju, Li Gui, Xiao Xian, Lin Shihong, Li Zitong, Du Fuwei and other strong local separatists Influence, as for Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong and others, they are just small fish and shrimps, not worth mentioning.

Let's say that Gao Bufan had been stationed in Mingshui for nearly half a month, and then he continued to march south, approaching the outside of Handan City.At this time, Pei Qiantong was standing on the top of the city, looking at the neat and well-equipped Qi army outside the city, drooling with greed, and secretly said: "Qi is really rich, and this equipment is probably not weaker than the Xiaoguo army. , Gao Changqing really occupies a good place, with so many war horses, Li Mi will definitely not be able to get them out, and the current Li Tang probably does not have this strength, unless Longxi is pacified and the largest horse farm under Qilian Mountain is snatched."

When Pei Qiantong was obsessively eating up the Qi army outside the city, suddenly there was another person beside him, and he hurriedly saluted, "I have seen you, my lord!"

The visitor ignored Pei Qiantong, just carefully observed the Qi army outside the city, and said after a long time: "This Qi army is well equipped, disciplined, and powerful. No wonder Li Mi will lose. You must not take it lightly."

Pei Qiantong nodded and said: "This Qi army is indeed not to be underestimated. Fortunately, Gao Changqing wants to divide his troops to guard Dou Jiande's territory, and only about [-] troops have come. After calculation, the subordinates should be able to eat it."

The person who came nodded and said: "That's good, the key is Gao Changqing himself, as long as this person is eliminated, Gao Qi will not be a problem, and the rest of the people are just a situation where the trees fall and the monkeys scatter."

Pei Qiantong said triumphantly: "As cunning as Li Mi has been hooked, my subordinates don't believe that Gao Changqing can't be fooled."

The expression of the visitor was a little weird: "This son may not be as cunning as Li Mi, but his luck is always surprisingly good, and he can always save the day at critical moments. If he can escape this time, I'm afraid even I will doubt it." This son is indeed the Son of Heaven.”

Pei Qiantong was slightly startled when he heard the words, but said: "This time Gao Changqing met the lord, I'm afraid the good luck will come to an end."

The person who came did not answer, staring at the Qi army who was camping outside the city, he didn't know what he was thinking, and said after a long time: "There seems to be something wrong with Yu Wenhuaji recently."

Pei Qiantong was slightly stunned and said: "Yu Wenhua has been drinking and having fun at Empress Xiao's during this time, as usual, there is nothing unusual."

"That's why it's abnormal. Send someone to keep an eye on it. There must be no accidents at this juncture." The visitor said lightly.

"Your subordinates can save it." Pei Qiantong said quickly, but he was a little disapproving in his heart. With Yu Wenhua and this kind of waste, what troubles can be found?

The person who came did not speak any more, walked away with his hands behind his back, and went down to the top of the city.

Although Pei Qiantong didn't take it seriously, after inspecting the city defense, he still went to Empress Xiao's residence, and the guard outside quickly saluted, "I've seen the Duke of Ju."

Pei Qiantong nodded, and asked in a low voice: "Is the emperor in?"

The guard replied with an ambiguous expression: "The Emperor and Empress Xiao are enjoying themselves."

Pei Qiantong listened intently for a while, and indeed he heard Empress Xiao's coquettish teasing, and couldn't help swallowing, Grandma's, it's cheap for Yu Wenhua and this idiot, Empress Xiao, a slut, used to be aloof, but now she wants to make a living Stealing work but letting others play with him is really a watery thing.

Pei Qiantong listened to the wall for a while, and then left with peace of mind, thinking to himself, the lord should be worrying too much, Yu Wenhua and this idiot are now so fascinated by Empress Xiao that they can't tell the difference between south, east and north , where do you still have the mind to make trouble?Hehe, let this guy be drunk and dreamy for a few more days, after Gao Changqing is killed, and then he will be slaughtered, then I will also taste the taste of Queen Xiao's slut, tsk tsk!

…………

Outside the city, a sneaky guy was caught by the Qi army sentry and sent to Gao Bufan's tent.

The soldier said in a loud voice: "Report to the King of Qi, this person was peeping around the perimeter of our military camp. He must be a spy, so his subordinates arrested him and questioned him, but he said that he wanted to see the King of Qi. Bring it to King Qi to intervene."

Gao Bufan took a look at this person and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing with me?"

The visitor hurriedly said: "The young one is Min Zhong, and he is under General Pei's command!"

Gao Bufan said calmly, "Which General Pei?"

Pei Xingyan grinned like a toothache.

Min Zhong laughed and said: "Pei Qian knows General Pei."

Gao Bufan was taken aback, and blurted out: "So it was him, Pei Qiantong sent you to see this king, why?"

Min Zhong said in a low voice: "Yu Wenhuajiu killed the emperor to proclaim himself emperor, raped his concubines, and insulted the empress. This move was simply insane and aroused public outrage. At present, many people want to turn against him, but they are afraid of his lustful power and dare not Act rashly, fortunately King Qi is here now, if King Qi is willing to accept, our general intends to surrender to King Qi.”

Gao Bufan was overjoyed, but he frowned quickly and said, "Then why didn't General Pei surrender to Dou Jiande and Li Mi before? Did he delay surrendering to the king until now?"

Min Zhong's expression was complete, and he said respectfully: "My general said that the only hero in the world is the king of Qi. If my general wants to serve, it must be King Qi."

Hey, familiar formula, familiar taste, this Min Zhong is also a trick to eat all over the world!

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "It seems that your general has a bit of vision, this time he really chose the right person, let him chop off Yu Wenhuaji's head and send it out of the city, King Qi is happy, Maybe you can make him a high official."

Min Zhong smiled awkwardly and said: "This general doesn't know something. Yu Wenhua and this person are suspicious and cunning. They hold all the military power in their hands, and they are surrounded by strict guards. It is not easy to kill him. Once the matter fails, I am afraid that my general will He and all the brothers under his command will lose their lives, so this matter has to be discussed in the long term."

Cheng Yaojin rolled his eyes and said: "Then how do your generals think about it? In less than three days, I will be able to break through the city gate. Believe it or not, your general will surrender by then, it's unnecessary!"

Min Zhong laughed and said, "What's the general's name?"

Cheng Yaojin patted his belly, and said carelessly: "My name is Cheng Yaojin!"

Min Zhong's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands and said, "It turned out to be General Zhang's old department. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. General Cheng is indeed a fierce general. It's just that there are more than [-] defenders in Handan City. No matter how brave General Cheng is, he can't break the city in three days." It's too big, it's small...hehe, I really don't believe it."

Cheng Yaojin was furious, and stared at him with two murderous eyes: "Then you go back now, don't surrender, and see how I break the city in three days and chop off your head, his grandma, how dare you look down on my old Cheng!" !"

Min Zhong shrank his neck immediately, and said with a smile: "General Cheng calm down, just believe me."

Gao Bufan frowned, waved his hands and said: "General Cheng, it's almost over, don't interrupt while you go."

Only then did Cheng Yaojin step back angrily, but a subtle shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

Gao Bufan turned his eyes to Min Zhong, and said calmly: "Since your general intends to surrender, you should have a plan, you might as well talk about it."

Min Zhong hurriedly said: "Qi Wang Yingming, my general is in control of the north city gate. In the middle of the night, my general will open the city gate. As long as Qi Wang leads his troops into the city and captures Yu Wenhuaji, he will be done. My general will send someone to lead the way for King Qi, and he will teach Yu Wenhua and there is nowhere to escape."

Gao Bufan said happily: "This is not a good strategy, um, you go back and tell your general that this king accepts his surrender, as long as Yu Wenhuaji is successfully captured and Handan City is captured, this king will never treat Bo he."

"Hey, it's done!" Min Zhong was secretly happy, and quickly said: "Okay, it's not too late, I'll go back and report the good news to the general."

Gao Bufan nodded and said, "Go...wait a minute!"

Min Zhong was about to withdraw, but was stopped by Gao Bufan suddenly, and he couldn't help muttering to himself. Fortunately, Gao Bufan just ordered someone to reward him with an ingot of gold.

Min Zhong quickly thanked him, and after walking out of the Qi army camp, he tossed the ingot of gold with a smile, and secretly said: "Gao Changqing is nothing more than that, but he is better at being a man than Li Mi, and he was rewarded with an ingot of gold for being generous, hehe!"

Min Zhong put the gold in his arms, returned to the city happily, and sent a letter to Pei Qian.
