At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 655 Wang Shichong's wishful thinking

After the banquet, Xu Shiji went out of the city and returned to the camp that night. As soon as he entered the gate, Gao Bufan sent someone to summon him. He didn't sleep, obviously he was waiting for himself, he was worried about his own safety.

Xu Shiji hurried to the handsome tent, at this time the lights were still on in the tent, the charcoal fire was burning in the stove, Gao Bufan was standing in front of the sand table, meditating, and he was very energetic, he didn't seem to be sleepy.

"The final general will meet the King of Qi!" Xu Shiji saluted before leaving.

"There's no need to be too polite." Gao Bufan quickly waved his hand and said, "It's cold outside, Shiji come here and sit down."

Gao Bufan sat down at the tea table, and poured a cup of warm rice wine for Xu Shiji. The latter was not pretentious, and sat down at the other coffee table, and yawned greatly.

Gao Bufan moved the stove in front of Xu Shiji and said, "Shiji worked hard, what's the result?"

Xu Shiji's eyes were slightly warm, and he took a sip of warm wine and said, "Bing Yuanzhen didn't agree, nor did he refuse, but he hinted to send him more property."

Gao Bufan frowned and said, "He's really an insatiable guy, but since he didn't refuse, there should be some play."

Xu Shiji nodded and said: "Bing Yuanzhen is nothing more than trying to temporarily stabilize us with the drag formula, but as long as Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin can defeat Li Mi's reinforcements, Bing Yuanzhen must be able to recognize the reality and surrender at that time The possibility is quite large."

Gao Bufan still has great confidence in Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin, these three generals, and it shouldn't be a problem to defeat Li Mi's three support soldiers. benefit."

Money is just an external object. In contrast, Gao Bufan values ​​the lives of his soldiers more. If he spends some treasures, he can avoid tens of thousands of deaths and injuries. It is definitely worth thousands of dollars.

Xu Shiji nodded, and said coldly: "If Bing Yuan really doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, and continues to make progress, his subordinates will definitely cut off his head with his own hands."

…………

As expected, Qin Qiong did not disappoint Gao Bufan. After only five days, the first good news came back.The [-] Wagang Army led by Qin Qiong and Li Wenxiang met in the southwest of Ji County. After a fierce battle for half a day, they broke it, beheaded more than [-] people, and captured more than a thousand. Li Wenxiang led his troops back to Hanoi County.

Another day later, Cheng Yaojin also sent a fast horse to send back the victory report. He encountered Wei General Zhao Junde in the northeast of Suixing County. The two sides fought fiercely for several days, and finally defeated him.

So far, the two reinforcements sent by Li Mi have all been defeated. Only Luo Shixin fell into a hard fight. His opponent is Wei General Zhang Sheng. Use the terrain to build fortifications in advance, and wait for Luo Shixin to take the initiative to attack.

Luo Shixin is brave, but he is a man of few plans. In addition, his army is only [-]. After attacking Zhang Sheng's camp for a long time, he lost some soldiers and horses and fell into a passive state. Fortunately, Qin Shubao led the army in time after hearing the news. Coming to help, the two armies attacked back and forth, and finally broke through Zhang Sheng's position in one fell swoop.

This kid Luo Shixin held back his anger, and after breaking the formation, he led the cavalry to kill.Zhang Sheng wanted to lead the remnant soldiers to flee back to Hanoi County, but Luo Shixin pursued him all the way to Linqing Pass, and finally shot him to death under his horse.

In this way, the three groups of troops that Li Mi sent to rescue Liyang Cang all fell into the sand. Li Wenxiang and Zhao Junde gathered remnant soldiers, a total of more than [-] people, and stationed at Linqing Pass, not daring to set foot in Jijun again. Half a step away, there is no way, the three tiger generals under Zhang Xutuo in the past are too fierce, they are no match, it would be good if they can hold the Linqing Pass.

As mentioned in the previous article, this prison cleared the customs, with two sides against the mountain and one side facing the river. When Yang Xuangan rebelled in Liyangcang, Gao Bufan and Yang Qingruo blocked him in front of the Linqing customs, and finally had to change his way.

Qin Shubao's mission was to stop Li Mi's reinforcements from rescuing Liyang Cang, so the goal had been achieved, and they just stationed in front of Linqing Pass, waiting for further orders from Qi Wang Gao Bufan.

But at this moment outside Liyangcang City, in the camp of the Qi army, Gao Bufan welcomed an unexpected guest——Wang Jundu.

This Wang Jundu is one of Wang Shichong's many nephews. He is about [-] years old. He is handsome and has a very decent conversation. Normal, it can be seen that Wang Shichong is indeed a "wild species" in the Wang family.

At this time, Wang Jundu asked his attendants to open the ten boxes, and suddenly jewels burst out of the boxes. All the generals of the Qi army present couldn't help but stare at each other, and subconsciously let out a burst of exclamation.

It turned out that out of the ten boxes, three were filled with gold ingots, three were filled with silver ingots, two were filled with pearls, and two were filled with agate and jade wares. They were all slightly moved.

A flash of complacency flashed in Wang Jundu's eyes. In the whole world, there is probably no treasure richer than the warehouses in Dongdu, even the capital Chang'an. Tempted, he immediately put away his complacency, became cautious, and said respectfully: "These are the meeting gifts that King Zheng ordered Jundu to bring to King Qi. It's a small meaning, it's not a respect, and I hope King Qi will not be too little."

King Zheng is Wang Shichong. Since he launched a mutiny to overthrow other competitors, Wang Shichong has monopolized power in Luoyang, forcing Yue Wang Yang Yu to retreat behind the scenes, and named him King Zheng.

A strange look flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes, it was funny to say that he gave Bing Yuanzhen "souvenirs", but Wang Shichong sent someone to give him "souvenirs", and the money was so generous that it really made him The king of Qi was ashamed, and said lightly: "Wang Shichong is too polite. As the saying goes, you don't get rewarded for no merit. This king shouldn't accept this gift, but thinking that this is the treasure in the warehouse of Dongdu, then I will replace it for you." The empress accepts it, and it can be regarded as returning it to the original owner."

Wang Jundu's complexion changed slightly, Gao Bufan called his uncle's name directly, the subtext was that he did not recognize the identity of his uncle Zheng Wang, and the tone of his speech was very unfriendly.

Wang Jundu forced himself to be calm, and said with a smile: "King Qi really knows how to joke, by the way, King Zheng also ordered Jundu to bring two beauties." After speaking, he clapped his hands.

Soon, two charming girls were ushered in. They were shy and timid, they were indeed very lovely, and they had a graceful figure, slender waist and plump buttocks, swaying gracefully, and said to Gao Bufan, "Shaoyao (Qiangwei) ) met His Royal Highness King Qi."

The sweet voice is sweet and sweet, and it is very attractive.

"King Zheng really has a heart, the kindness is hard to turn down, so I will accept it, come and send this pair of beauties to my sleeping tent." Gao Bufan said with a smile.

Wang Jundu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words. It seems that although this Gao Changqing is not rich, he is very lustful. In this case, it will be easier. The two women he sent have been trained and are well versed in the affairs of the house. As long as you have a taste of this technique, Gao Changqing will definitely be addicted to it, hehe.

Gao Bufan glanced at Wang Jundu and said, "Why did King Zheng send you to see me? Could it be just to give gifts?"

Wang Jundu said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Qi captured and killed Yu Wenhuaji, a traitor who killed the king. Everyone in the world admires him. King Zheng also admired him. When he reported this matter to the emperor, the emperor also cried bitterly. , Qi Wang is actually a loyal minister and good general of the Sui Dynasty!"

The emperor in Wang Jundu's mouth naturally refers to the king of Yue, Yang Yu. Although Yang Tong is only Wang Shichong's puppet, Wang Shichong still regards him as emperor in name, and Yang Guang, the dead ghost, as the supreme emperor.

At this time, Wang Jundu continued: "King Zheng and King Qi both aim to respect the Sui Dynasty, unlike rebels like Li Yuan and Li Mi, so King Zheng thinks that they should join forces with King Qi to defeat rebels like Li Mi and Li Yuan. I don't know what King Qi wants. How about it?"

Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, Wang Shichong wanted to form an alliance with King Qi, and work together to deal with Li Mi and Li Yuan, this wishful thinking was sound enough.

Gao Bufan said calmly: "Oh, I don't know how King Zheng plans to join forces?"
