At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 659
The twelfth lunar month arrived as expected, the north wind was strong, and the temperature was very low. The water on the canal was frozen, but the ice layer was too thin for people and horses to walk on it.At this moment in Liyangcang City, Bing Yuan is really drinking wine in a warm room, accompanied by a few confidantes under his command, everyone drinks and eats meat, while yelling and playing finger-guessing, the small life is not generally comfortable.

"General Bing, the Qi army outside will not take advantage of the cold weather to attack us?" A confidant suddenly became a little worried, this person is Ma Lu

Bing Yuanzhen casually threw a fried bean on Ma Lu's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Yumu head, is our Liyang warehouse so easy to attack? If Gao Changqing had this ability, he would have ordered the attack a long time ago. It’s necessary to wait until now, I’m not boasting that even if all the Qi troops outside are wiped out, our Liyang warehouse can’t be broken, do you believe it or not?”

Ma rubbed the forehead that had been hit by the beans, and said with a smile: "That's true, our city defense is as solid as a gold plate..."

"It's as solid as gold!" Another confidant named Wang Wu immediately corrected.

Ma said disapprovingly: "It's still soup, anyway, our city defense is strong, and there are [-] defenders in the city. Even if the Qi army has [-] troops, it is impossible to attack, not to mention that there are only about [-] left outside now." Qi army."

Wang Wu nodded his head to express his agreement, but he was a bit puzzled and said: "By the way, Gao Changqing is too arrogant, isn't he? He actually divided his troops to attack Xingyang County and Linqing Pass at the same time, and almost sent out all the elite soldiers and generals around him. He only left 10,000 people to continue guarding outside the city, isn't he worried that we will take the initiative to go out of the city to fight back and kill him, King Qi?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was a little confused, including Bing Yuanzhen.

It is said that just a few days ago, Gao Bufan sent Xu Shiji to lead a team across the Yellow River to attack Xingyang County from the east to the west, and then sent Lu Sheng to lead Qin Qiong and others to attack Linqing Pass, while he himself only led about [-] troops. The Qi army continued to garrison outside the Liyang Cang.

This move undoubtedly confused Bing Yuanzhen. He couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Gao Bufan was selling in his gourd. This was due to Qi Jun's overconfidence in his combat power. He still felt that if he accepted his gift, he would no longer be harmful to him. Or is this simply a trap to trick myself out of the mountain city?

Ma Lu rolled his eyes and suggested, "General Bing, why don't we take advantage of the darkness to go out tonight to vote for him? If we are lucky enough to defeat Gao Changqing, General Bing's reputation will be greatly shaken. If we accidentally kill Gao Changqing , that would be even more serious, this is a great achievement, in the future Duke Wei will conquer the world, maybe General Bing will make you a Duke.”

whoosh...

A fried bean was thrown on Ma Lu's forehead again, and it bounced high. Ma Lu rubbed his head, and said a little depressed: "What did you say wrong?"

Bing Yuanzhen sneered and said: "You're right, this plan is very clever, tonight I will lead five thousand elite soldiers out of the city to attack the Qi army's camp, if you can kill Gao Changqing, this general will reward you."

Ma Lu immediately closed his mouth with a smirk, and Bing Yuanzhen threw a handful of beans into his mouth, snapping and scolding: "You eat too much salty beans, and you are left with sweet dreams. You fought in Mingshui that day. It's not like you don't know how powerful the Qi army is. Some time ago, the Qi army was divided into multiple groups, and it swept through dozens of counties all the way. Its equipment and elite level are stronger than that of the Xiaoguo army. If we go out of the city to fight with others, aren't we courting death? What's more, how do you know that this is not a trap deliberately set by Gao Changqing? We want to sneak attack Gao Changqing, maybe Gao Changqing is waiting for us to take the initiative to send it to our door!"

Ma Lu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, he gave a thumbs up and said, "General Bing, you are more considerate, your subordinates are reckless!"

"Use your brain more!" Bing Yuanzhen snorted coldly, but his eyes flickered a little.

In fact, Bing Yuanzhen is also very troubled now, because Xu Shiji has sent people to give him treasures three times before, but he has been ambiguous and has not responded. Some time ago, the Qi army sent three reinforcements sent by Wei Gong and Li Mi They were all repelled. At that time, Bing Yuanzhen wanted to grit his teeth and surrender to Gao Qi, but in the end he endured it, because Wei Gong's Li Mi's strength was still there, and he might be able to make a comeback, so he made various excuses procrastination.

It's just that it dragged on for too long, and Bing Yuanzhen was also worried that Gao Bufan would be completely angered. Although it was rumored that Qi Wang Gao Changqing was generous, after all, clay figurines are somewhat angry. If Gao Changqing is really angry, why not accept surrender? manage?

So Bing Yuanzhen is also very entangled at the moment. After thinking for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind. If the Qi army can successfully take Xingyang County and Linqing Pass, he will directly donate Liyang warehouse and surrender to Gao Changqing. With so much food, it must be Even if Gao Changqing is unhappy, he will not refuse!
After making up his mind, Bing Yuanzhen calmed down again and continued drinking and guessing.

…………

At this moment, in the camp of the Qi Army outside Liyangcang City, Gao Bufan was playing Go with the beauty Mingyue sent by Wang Shichong, while another beauty, Qingfeng, was watching the battle while sending the peeled grapes to Gao Bufan's. In the mouth, a pair of pretty eyes flashed, looking at the latter's handsome face affectionately.

For some reason, Qingfeng feels that King Qi seems to be more and more handsome these days, with red lips and white teeth, and a pair of black and white eyes that look more and more charming, and one can't help but fall into it.

At this time, Qingfeng peeled a grape, held the small half with his small mouth, and then moved close to Gao Bufan. Gao Bufan hesitated for a while, but finally ate the grape and slapped his mouth loudly .

Qingfeng covered her small mouth and giggled coquettishly, her eyes were watery, so charming that they almost dripped out, and she even took advantage of the opportunity to lie on Gao Bufan's back.Seeing this, Mingyue messed up the chess game, and then pouted and complained: "Shameless little hoof, can you stop messing up here, I was about to win His Royal Highness Qi Wang, and you messed up my thinking for a lifetime!"

Qingfeng smiled and said: "It's obviously my sister, you are not as good as others, but you blame others for making trouble."

Gao Bufan laughed and said, "Why don't you play the next game again, how about my king letting you two?"

Mingyue puffed her cheeks and said: "No more, it's boring, His Royal Highness Qi favors sister."

Gao Bufan frowned and said puzzledly: "Where is this king partial?"

Mingyue rolled her eyes at Qingfeng, who was triumphantly lying on Gao Bufan's back, pursed her mouth and said, "He said he was not partial, King Qi, look at this little hoof is so strong."

Qingfeng smiled and said: "His Royal Highness, since sister Mingyue doesn't want to play chess anymore, then... why don't we do something else interesting, anyway, it's freezing outside, so we can't go out."

Gao Bufan patted his forehead, stood up and said: "You said that, I remember that there is one more important thing to do." After speaking, he left the tent in a hurry.

Qingfeng and Mingyue couldn't help being disappointed, the latter frowned and said in a low voice: "Qingfeng, do you feel that King Qi is a little different these days?"

"What's the difference? Oh, King Qi seems to be more handsome, and the more he looks the better, he can't bear to take his eyes away." Qingfeng said with a fascinated expression while covering his chest.

Mingyue rolled her eyes and said, "Qingfeng, you won't really be tempted by Gao Changqing, are you? Don't forget our mission!"

Qingfeng suddenly said with a guilty conscience: "Who is tempted? I think you are tempted. If it wasn't for you, why did you call me Qingfeng instead of Qiangwei?"

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "I admit that I am a little tempted. King Qi is young and promising, handsome, and has a good temper. Who would not be tempted? But I have not forgotten my identity and mission. "

Qingfeng lowered his head and muttered: "I haven't forgotten either!"

Mingyue glanced at Qingfeng, and said calmly: "Gao Changqing has not favored me for several days, has he favored you?"

Qingfeng blushed and shook her head: "We have been together almost all the time, if that, how could you not know?"

Mingyue frowned and said, "That's amazing!"

Qingfeng said disapprovingly: "Although King Qi is highly skilled in martial arts, he is not made of iron. How could he be like that every day? Don't you want too much, you little hoof?"

Mingyue's face became hot, and she spat: "I'm talking about you, I wish I could stick to King Qi just now, shameless."

Let's talk about Gao Bufan leaving the bed tent and walking away quickly. Then he felt relieved, took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth vigorously, and cursed angrily: "Stinky bastard, you are so shameless, bah, what am I doing?" To agree to this guy is really asking for trouble."

The voice of "Gao Bufan" was like the sound of heaven, fortunately there were no guards around to hear it, otherwise he would have thought that King Qi's ghost was on him.

"Gao Bufan" calmed down his emotions, finally calmed down, and walked towards the direction of the handsome tent with a calm and composed pace. The soldiers and guards he met on the road all stood still and saluted, saying: "His Royal Highness Qi Wang!"

"Gao Bufan" nodded with a smile, and went straight into the tent. There were only two people in the tent at the moment, the eldest Sun Wuji who was in charge of logistics, and Yu Shinan who was in charge of documents.

Seeing "Gao Bufan" walking in, Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, but still saluted, "I've seen King Qi!"

Yu Shinan also hurriedly saluted, "Gao Bufan" tore off the human skin mask on his face, revealing a stunningly pretty face, and said coldly: "How long will I have to pretend? Those two women are too annoying , I really want to kill him with one sword."

It turned out that this person was Yang Qingruo, the little vinegar jar!
Changsun Wuji said apologetically: "For the sake of the overall situation, Miss Qingruo, please be patient for a little longer!"

Yang Qingruo said coldly: "It's fine for me to continue pretending, but I must get those two shameless women away."

Changsun Wuji said embarrassingly: "The two women were sent by Wang Shichong to monitor the King of Qi. If we take them away, we will surely scare the snake away, and it will definitely affect King Qi's plans, and may even endanger King Qi and King Yue. Yang Tong)'s safety."

Yang Qingruo fell silent when she heard the words, put on the mask helplessly, and said calmly, "I'll sleep here tonight."

Changsun Wuji and Yu Shinan looked at each other and retreated helplessly.

Yang Qingruo stomped her feet and said resentfully: "Shameless bad guy, I'll settle the score with you when you come back."
