Chapter 540 No Interest in Butts

There was a light rain just now, and the sweltering weather became much cooler immediately. The rain was not heavy, and it stopped after only half a day, but the sky was still gloomy, and the wind sent slightly humid air into people's noses Inside, it looks very comfortable and comfortable.After the rain, the cicadas became much more honest. They must have disliked the cool weather so much that they were in no mood to continue flapping their wings and singing.

In July, Huaihua General Yuwen Shiji of Yanyunzhai led his army to attack westward, and took most of the East County from Wang Shichong. The courage of Dongdu's decisive battle was won by Yuwen Shiji several times in a row. General Zheng Jun and Wang Shichong's younger brother Wang Renhe had no choice but to retreat for thirty miles.But what he didn't expect was that Yuwen Shiji turned out to be an aggressive guy. Yan Yun's army had been attacking wildly since mid-July, advancing hundreds of miles westward, and Zheng Jun couldn't stop it.

Wang Shichong was furious, and he personally led an army of [-] to support. The two sides fought a fierce battle near the Data Temple. Although Zheng Jun failed to win, at least he stopped Yuwen Shiji's footsteps.

Because of this light rain, both sides had an excuse to take a break.The soldiers who had gone through days of fierce fighting were finally able to catch their breath. Some of Zheng Jun's soldiers were the Wagang Army who had to surrender. They didn't want to work for Wang Shichong. The rain was a joy to them.

Wang Shichong had already been beaten helplessly by Li Mi, even he himself never thought that winning the war against Wagangzhai would be so easy.When Dongdu was about to be breached that day, he personally led 500 dead soldiers and divided them into three teams. Each team of [-] people suddenly opened the city gate and killed them.In fact, Wang Shichong was thinking of leading troops to break through the siege, but he didn't expect to defeat Li Mi's nearly [-] troops in such a sudden!

But God is such a fool. Li Mi kept beating Wang Shichong until his nose was bruised, his face was swollen and his clothes were torn, but he was just short of a fatal blow to kill Wang Shichong.And Wang Shichong just pushed Li Mi during the beating, just wanted to push him away and escape by himself, but he didn't expect that this push would be at the crux of the matter...

The defeated soldiers in Wagangzhai fled everywhere, tens of thousands of people had to surrender to Wang Shichong, but compared to Wang Shichong's Dazheng, the people in Wagangzhai would rather vote for Li Xian, another enemy.Therefore, Yuwen Shi and these days are also very happy, and happily want to vent their mood with a big drunk.

Since June, the Wagang Army has never ceased to vote, one after another, the Yanyun Army camp outside Lei Ze City has never had less than 5 troops, and it has exceeded [-] in less than a month.This is a fat man who has eaten the city in one go without any doubt, and he is still Te Niang's super fat man.

Using Li Mi's soldiers to fight Wang Shichong's soldiers was a very comfortable thing for Yuwen Shiji.Is there anything more satisfying than being able to beat an opponent without expending one's own strength? How could Yuwenshi and the tens of thousands of people on the roster be unhappy?

After knocking down the main village of Wagangzhai, he also deliberately let the soldiers rest for a few days. Wang Shichong personally led the army to come, and the two sides immediately stalemate in Dongjun.

Although the rain was relatively small, it covered a huge area.It was raining in Dongjun, it was raining in Dongdu, even Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River was also raining.

There is a big mountain outside Liyang City, the mountains and forests are majestic and beautiful, especially after a rain, the scenery on the mountain is like a landscape painting splashed on the best paper by a master.Looking at the whole mountain is green and verdant, no matter how you look at it, how comfortable it is.On the side of the official road at the foot of the mountain, there is a small town called Dazhen.This town is less than forty miles away from Liyang City, even if you walk, if you walk quickly, you can make a round trip in half a day.

There are only more than 100 households in the big town, but this is the largest village outside Liyang City.Since the ninth year of Daye, Liyang has become a battleground.Almost every year, people came to make an idea of ​​Li Yang, and the situation has only improved since the people from Wagang Village moved in.

The most famous one in the big town is not a restaurant, not a brothel, but a steamed stuffed bun shop.

The owner of this steamed stuffed bun shop is a foreigner, and he has only been doing business here for less than a year.But the boss surnamed Sun is very good at business and good at life, and the soup dumplings in the store are really delicious, so the business has been good.Even in Liyang City, which is 37 miles away, many people come here just to try the soup dumpling that is said to have been praised by Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Everyone knows that this is just a gimmick of the store, but this gimmick is undoubtedly very attractive.

Every day, there will be people with nothing to do. They come out of Liyang City in a carriage and travel all the way to the Sun Ji Baozi Shop at the foot of the mountain to eat. You must know that there is never a shortage of rich people and idlers in Liyang City.Of course, there are also soldiers, and even high-level military officials.

There was a guy with a short stature and a dark complexion who looked like a businessman, and he became addicted to eating Sun Ji's soup dumplings, and would come here every two or three days.

……

……

No matter how you look at it, this guy with the appearance of a businessman looks like he has gotten rich, and no matter what clothes he wears, he can't hide his rustic appearance after all.He is not tall, he is not beautiful, and he is very dark. He is the type who will never attract attention if thrown in the crowd. If there is anything special about this person, it is his eyes that stand out. bright.

His eyes are bright, and so is his name.

His name is Zhang Liang.

After the defeat, Zhang Liang and Li Mi fled. Li Mi was cornered by Wang Shichong's pursuers. He had no choice but to go to Liyang to find Wang Bodang, so he had to go to Chang'an to join Li Yuan.But Zhang Liang managed to abscond to Liyang in disguise with his natural face of an old farmer.

Li Yang is Wang Bodang's final say, although Zhang Liang's official position in Wagang Village is equal to Zhang Liang's, but here he can't say much, but he is happy to be an idler.Every day after arriving in the army, he had nothing to do, so he ate in restaurants next to each other in the city, and finally found one that suited his taste, but it was in an unremarkable steamed stuffed bun shop in a big town 37 miles away.

Wang Bodang didn't bother to take care of him, so naturally he wouldn't let Zhang Liang intervene in military affairs.A lot of gold and silver were given away, and Zhang Liang could play however he wanted.

When Zhang Liang's carriage arrived at the door of Sun Ji's steamed stuffed bun shop, Sun Ji's boss came out to greet him immediately. For him, such a regular customer could not be easily offended.Zhang Liang talked and laughed with the boss before entering the door. As usual, he went into the inner room and asked for a basket of soup dumplings, some side dishes, and a pot of old wine.

When he opened the curtain and walked into the room, he suddenly stiffened, and his expression changed accordingly.The hand that lifted the curtain stopped in mid-air, the expression on his face was a bit too surprised, so his mouth was opened wide, revealing a mouthful of white teeth that was the opposite of his dark complexion.

"Don't take you to scare people..."

He said something with a wry smile, then walked into the door and bowed to the side.

On the chair he often sat on was a handsome man in a black brocade suit, sitting quietly on the chair and eating buns.He tore a small opening in the fist-sized soup dumpling, and the hot air in the dumpling spewed out with a puff.The handsome man blew lightly, and when the heat in the bun was less, he drank the delicious soup in the bun in small sips, and then tore the bun into his mouth with his hands.

After a soup dumpling, he drank two mouthfuls of extremely thick rice porridge.

"It's really good. I didn't expect that there are talents under my staff who can make such delicious soup dumplings. It made Wang Qinian enjoy it in Jiangdu for a while, but it was the first time for me to eat it."

He pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit."

Zhang Liang sat down with a wry smile, a little embarrassed.He put his hands on his knees, and his upper body was straight, like a child in school, sitting meticulously.The young man opposite him who was so handsome that any woman would be jealous had already started to attack the second bun, and he didn't look at Zhang Liang from the beginning to the end.

"It will taste better if it is served with the sweet and sour garlic soaked in this store."

Zhang Liang swallowed and said, he was naturally not greedy, but because he felt his throat was dry. In any case, seeing this person in this place was beyond his ability to accept.

"It's only 37 miles away from Liyang City."

He lowered his voice and said.

"Um"

The young man continued to drink the soup with a somewhat intoxicated expression.

"There are [-] troops in Liyang City!"

"Um"

After drinking it hot, he began to tear and eat the bun skin bit by bit, and then ate the rice porridge with some sesame seeds and sucrose.

"Wang Bodang is dead set on Li Mi!"

"Um"

Zhang Liang was a little flustered, stood up and cupped his fists and said, "My lord... you shouldn't have come here anyway!"

"But anyway, I'm here too."

The young man was Li Xian. He wiped his mouth with a white handkerchief, smiled slightly, pointed to the chair again and said, "Sit."

Zhang Liang had no choice but to sit down again, but didn't know what to say.

"Wang Bodang is still undecided."

He hesitated for a moment and said: "He doesn't believe me, and it's hard for me to join the army, not to mention meddling in military affairs, and I don't even have to go to the camp every day to raise tents. Uncle Wang is happy to let me be an idler, but I It can be seen that he hasn't considered whether to follow Li Mi and seek refuge with Li Yuan."

Li Xian hummed, stirred the rice porridge in the bowl and said with a smile, "If he didn't have a hundred thousand soldiers in his hand, he would have already thrown them."

……

……

Li Xian was right, if Uncle Wang didn't have [-] soldiers in his hands, but was alone, he would have followed Li Mi to Chang'an long ago.But now that he has soldiers in his hands, and Li Mi has become Li Yuan's courtier, Wang Bodang will inevitably have other ideas, even if he has no intention of raising his own banner, he still has to consider that Li Mi will definitely come if he has the opportunity to escape from Chang'an Li Yang looks for himself.

As long as he doesn't surrender, relying on the one hundred thousand in his hand,
