Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 729
"Brother Cheng, how should we deal with it?" Que Tu hurriedly asked Cheng Rong for advice.

"I immediately brought General An Tong to Liang Guo, and urged Wang Ming to prevent Xi Rong's iron cavalry from borrowing the way!" Cheng Rong immediately replied resolutely.

"Brother Cheng, Wang Ming has always been at odds with us, if he really colluded with Xi Rong, wouldn't you bring An Tong to die in vain?" Qu Tu couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Ju Tu, you can defend the city, I Cheng Rong asked Ming Chao and Ma Teng to assist you in defending the Water Dragon Pass, as long as you hold on for a few days, I will definitely bring you good news from Liang Guo!" Cheng Rong had a calm expression on his face.

It was midnight at this time, Cheng Rong led An Tong and several cavalry, quickly left Shuilongguan and galloped away to Liang Guo.

Liang Guo, General Wang Ming and Liang Wang Jifeng had already summoned Fang Yun, the special envoy of the Vietnamese Army that night. Fang Yun arrogantly stated to Wang Ming the rumors that Dudu and Cheng Rong were going to capture the rebels, and persuaded Wang Ming to accept the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. King Lu's imperial decree, switch to welcome Master Wang.

"Lord Fang, I heard that there are [-] Xirong cavalry who will enter the customs with you. That is [-] wolves. Once the commander agrees to open the gate, will the people of my Central Plains be devastated?" Wang Ming heheed strangely for a while. With a smile, he picked up his cup and deliberately glanced at the impatient Fang Yun.

"My lord, besides accepting the emperor's will, what else do you have to do now? Qutu and Cheng Rong have already set up another king of Jin, under the banner of king Qin killing thieves. General, how much did you have to do with Qutu back then?" Enmity, Jugtu will really let you go? But as long as you make an excuse, the general will let the emperor make you the Duke of the country at that time, don't you have a lot of money?" Fang Yun looked up with a smirk, and he said it with all his hypocrisy. Knowing about it and benefiting from it, he finally made Wang Ming's words come alive.

"Fang Yun, since the soldiers of the Western Army want to make excuses, the rules have to be set. They must not burn, kill, loot, or touch a woman. Otherwise, the commander-in-chief will order his subordinates to shoot. Don't blame us for turning our faces and denying people." !” Wang Ming threatened loudly.

"Just do it like this, General Wang, don't worry about it. After all, the Xirong soldiers were invited by our emperor to put down the Cheng Rong rebels!" Fang Yun laughed wildly and agreed again and again.

"Wang Aiqing, let Mrs. Fang go to the post house to sleep first, I have something to tell you!" Ji Feng suddenly gave Wang Ming a look, and Wang Ming immediately bowed his hands to Fang Yun, and very politely let Fang Yun return to his residence.

"What's your decision, Your Majesty?" Wang Ming turned to King Liang's bedroom, and immediately knelt down and asked.

"My lord, this king is the prince of the Great Zhou. You said that Fang Yunxue set up a Lu king as a puppet according to this group, and colluded with the barbarians of the Xirong grassland. Is he the opponent of Diggu? What if we choose the wrong person? , If you bet on the wrong treasure, wouldn’t you lose everything and end up with the notoriety of a traitor?” Liang Wang Jifeng frowned.

"My lord, so let's drag Fang Yun for a while, and ask him for more benefits, so that it will be easier for us to stay out of it!" Wang Ming said with a very cunning smile.

"Report, my lord, Shuilongguan is an urgent report. Under the orders of the Empress Dowager Ping, Jugtu, Cheng Rong, An Tong, Ming Chao and others fought a bloody battle against the Xirong soldiers and defeated the coalition forces of Xirong and Xue Ju!" At this time, the military newspaper happened to deliver On the case of King Liang.

"My lord, Digging is extremely ferocious. Xirong's [-] troops were defeated by him. Did we deliberately switch it on and let Xirong and Digging fight with each other, while we sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?" Wang Ming suggested.

"Your Excellency is agreeing with my widow!" King Liang couldn't help smiling.

"Report to the king, urgent report in the pass, Qin Boying any Qihou Jiangchu, Weihou Zhugui learned that the emperor has passed away, they have mobilized the army one after another, and went north to serve the king!" At this time, the scout handed over another letter, Liang Wang carefully After reading it, I suddenly felt uneasy.

"My lord, it seems that the victory or defeat of this battle is the key in these few days. Fang Yun boy, we really have to deal with it. Why don't we send troops to open the gate in the name of trade and let the soldiers of the West enter the customs, and we will pretend to be stupid on purpose. , so that you can avoid betting wrongly, what do you think?" Liang Wang turned his eyes and said to Wang Ming again.

"Your Majesty is really wise!" Wang Ming immediately kowtowed in praise.

At the time of Chen, under the gate of Liang Guo, a large flag with the word Cheng was suddenly displayed. The soldiers guarding the city were so frightened that they drew their bows and faced each other. Unexpectedly, Cheng Rong tightened his horse's head and waved to the city with a smile: "Brother! Ladies and gentlemen, you have worked hard to defend the city, and the Xirong bandits are about to invade the country. Only by fighting with blood can we protect our wives and children from being ruined by Xirong!"

Many family members of the soldiers guarding the city were indeed killed and insulted by the Xirong cavalry in the past. Hearing what Cheng Rong said, someone really shouted towards the city: "Master Cheng, it is now rumored everywhere in Liang that the Xirong soldiers were invited by our emperor this time." Is it true that the one who exterminates bandits?"

Cheng Rong talked and laughed calmly: "Brother, those are all rumors and gossips spread by villains secretly. Think about it, every time the Xirong cavalry entered the pass, what immoral things did they do? Burning the city, in order to satisfy their own ambitions, some traitors secretly collude with these enemies to enter the customs, do you think there will be good things?"

"My lord, our officer said that you Cheng Rong, Marshal Judou, and General An Tong are all regicides and rebels, and they are very cunning, is that true?" Someone shouted.

"Brother, I, Cheng Rong, dare to act boldly. I only treat those slanders as a joke. Open the door now! I will come to save everyone!" Cheng Rong laughed heartily.

After hearing Cheng Rong's speech, Wang Ming immediately passed on the will of King Liang, opened the city gate, and let Cheng Rong and An Tong enter the palace.

"Master Cheng, are you here to denounce me, the king, when you come to Liang Kingdom this time?" Liang Wang Jifeng looked at Cheng Rong coldly, and asked very slowly.

"King Liang, you are the prince of my Great Zhou. Of course you are defending the city for the Great Zhou. Why do I, Cheng Rong, have any reason to blame the King?" Cheng Rong stroked his beard and said happily.

"But this king is guarding; Liang Guo has not betrayed the country, why did you come to question me in such a hurry?" Liang Wang laughed loudly.

"To be honest, I learned that the treacherous Fang Yun has already taken the next step to persuade the king to switch and let the soldiers from the west back to my flank at Shuilong Pass." Cheng Rong said bluntly.

"That's right, my lord is really sharp. It is true that Fang Yun came yesterday with the emperor's imperial decree!" Liang Wang stroked his beard and smiled.

"Your Majesty, the decree you received was just a hypocritical edict issued by the treacherous sycophant who threatened the King of Lu. Think about it carefully, who are the Western soldiers? Once Xirong enters the pass, can we still be masters?" Cheng Rong pointed out sharply.

"Hahaha, Mr. Cheng, but General Wang and your Marshal Judou had some quarrels at the beginning, you will let him go?" Liang Wang deliberately pouted at Wang Ming.

"My lord, state affairs are the most important thing. Besides, my lord has military power in the Liang country. If you have the intention to kill people in the excavation, I will not do anything to you. If Xirong enters the customs, your military power and family property will still be safe." Does it belong to me?" Cheng Rong shrewdly smiled.

"Master Cheng, what you said makes sense! But, Empress Dowager Ping is young, and Marshal Judou's Huben army is slightly weaker than Xi Rong. Can it really defeat Xi Rong and Xue Ju?" Wang Ming felt that Mao Sai opened his mouth .

"Master Wang, since I, Cheng Rong, can go to this country of Liang, do you still doubt that we can't fight?" Cheng Rong laughed loudly.

"Okay, Master Cheng, I, Ji Feng, are the descendants of King Wen. How could I surrender to Xi Rong? Don't worry, I will make an alliance with you and firmly defend the Liang Kingdom, preventing Xi Rong from passing through!" Liang Wang Ji Feng Immediately, his blood spurted, and he stepped forward to hold Cheng Rong's hands very excitedly.

"How to deal with Fang Yun?" Wang Ming suddenly worried.

"My lord, the old thief Fang Yun is very cunning, but we can use this guy to send a message and tell Xi Rong that Liang Guo has agreed to switch and let them be sent into our ambush net. Wouldn't it be a huge profit!" Cheng Rong stroked his beard and laughed. stand up.

A day later, Fang Yun, who was very proud, returned to the big tent with a letter from King Liang, and boasted to Xue Ju face to face.

"Okay, since King Liang and Wang Ming are in the same boat as us, everything is ready. Fang Yun, let's notify Boli immediately, and immediately send [-] cavalry to detour through the Shuilongguan formation, and annihilate Dutu and Cheng Rong!" According to Xue Laughing arrogantly, with a smug look on his face.

In the middle of the night, with a blast of horns, Xirong's cavalry and the troops commanded by Xue Ju had come to the outside of the pass in mighty force according to King Liang's signal.

"My lord, look, Wang Ming is welcoming my army at the top of the city!" Fang Yun said with a cheerful smile.

"Enter the customs!" Xue Ju looked smug, and commanded the soldiers to advance, who wanted to shut up a burst of laughter, set up a group of crossbowmen, and shot at Xue Ju indiscriminately.

"Old thief Xue Ju, do you know Cheng Rong?" Cheng Rong shouted loudly in armor.

"Cheng Rong, why are you in Liang Guo?"
