620 ate the scales and made his heart hard

[Today is Double 11, everyone chop your hands, and I also wish everyone a happy light and chaos festival! ] 】

"General, do you say Li Zixiao is really sick, or is he pretending to be sick?"

On the way back, Lu Teng asked Yang Wenyue.

Yang Wenyue looked at his right-hand man, sighed, and said, "No matter whether Li Zixiao is really sick this time or pretending to be sick, let's not interfere in the next thing."

This is a wrestling between Li Zixiao and Chen Yongfu, if we are hard to get involved, it will be beneficial and harmless.

Chen Yongfu's thoughts, I have long seen through them, it can't be that I am afraid that after Li Zixiao leads the army into Kaifeng, he will be hollowed out, so I try my best to prevent Li Zixiao's army from entering the city.

And this time, Li Zixiao's illness, whether it is true or not, can be regarded as Li Zixiao's best counterattack against Chen Yongfu.

Chen Yongfu made a move, Li Zixiao is now taking the move, and the next thing is to see how Chen Yongfu responds.

I can only say that it is time for Li Zixiao to be really sick this time, and his illness should completely make Chen Yongfu embarrassed. ”

"Yes, Li Zixiao used serious illness as an excuse, and Chen Yongfu estimated that it would be difficult for him to refuse him to enter the city again.

Otherwise, those elite soldiers and strong generals under Li Zixiao really attacked Kaifeng, and Chen Yongfu was also dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't tell if he had any bitterness! ”

"However, as a Ming official, this official can't see Chen Yongfu and Li Zixiao fighting, and we must do our best to stop this.

first go back and tell Chen Yongfu the news of Li Zixiao's serious illness and Qi Wei's words, hoping that Chen Yongfu can take the initiative to soften this time and let Li Zixiao enter the city, otherwise Li Zixiao's subordinates will really attack the city.

But don't leave a thief, but lead to a fight between our comrades, then laugh to death. ”

Immediately, Yang Wenyue took Lu Teng and returned to Kaifeng overnight.

As soon as Yang Wenyue left, Li Zixiao, who was lying on the bed and was 'seriously ill', woke up, looking like a dragon and a tiger, how could he still have the weak appearance before.

"Haha, Qi Wei, Tianba, Shi, and you, they all acted well just now.

That Yang Wenyue is estimated to have come to be a lobbyist for Chen Yongfu, but now that we are doing this, he has become our lobbyist instead.

It is estimated that at this time, Yang Wenyue's guy must have regretted it very much in his heart, and he should not have been involved in this matter. ”

Li Zixiao was very happy and said with a smile to the generals.

"General, do you think Chen Yongfu will compromise this time and let us enter the city?" Qi Wei asked.

"I guess it's difficult, unless it's a last resort, Chen Yongfu will do his best to prevent us from entering the city, so we have to continue to perform this play.

It is even necessary to make comprehensive preparations, prepare to act later, and prepare to act this play into reality. ”

"The general's meaning is that we should also be prepared to really storm Kaifeng City, right?"

"That's right. This time, Kaifeng City, I am settled, whoever dares to stop me, don't blame me for exhausting my means, even if it is killed in the end. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zixiao's originally smiling face was directly replaced by a resolute and fierce color.

"We will help the general and enter Kaifeng."

As Qi Wei took the lead, more than a dozen White Dragon Army generals in the tent shouted in unison.

"Haha, before Yang Wenyue and the others come again, you hurry up and get me some food, General Ben wants to have a good meal.

On this cold day, General Ben is about to starve to death, eat some hot food to warm up, but I will not be out of the account, at this time I want all the soldiers to know the news that I am critically ill. ”

………………………………

And it didn't take long for Yang Wenyue to return to Kaifeng City, and after Yang Wenyue left Kaifeng City, Chen Yongfu was very happy.

He received the support of Gao Mingheng and Ding Qirui this time, especially the support of Ding Qirui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, which was equivalent to letting Chen Yongfu gain the support of the imperial court.

Let Chen Yongfu believe that this time he stopped Li Zixiao from entering the city, and he should basically be nine out of ten.

Unless Li Zixiao really dares to rebel and openly attack Kaifeng at this time, it will be tantamount to rebellion, Chen Yongfu thinks that Li Zixiao will never dare to do this.

In the final analysis, Chen Yongfu knows too little about Li Zixiao.

"Report, Lord Qiyu, General Yang and they are back?"

And at this time, a Ming soldier also ran in and reported to Chen Yongfu.

"Huh? General Yang just left the city, but it was only an hour or so, why did he come back so soon? ”

After Chen Yongfu heard the report of this Ming soldier, he was also shocked, and he didn't believe that Li Zixiao would be persuaded so easily.

For some reason, at this time, Chen Yongfu's heart couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

"General Yang, you're back, what's the situation? Can Li Zixiao agree? ”

Soon, Yang Wenyue came to Kaifeng Mansion, and Chen Yongfu couldn't wait to walk over and ask.

"Li Zixiao was seriously ill and in a coma, and I didn't even have a chance to speak.

On the contrary, it was Li Zixiao's generals who asked me to come back and tell General Li that I hope you can open the city gate and let them enter the city, Li Zixiao is now seriously ill and needs to recuperate in Kaifeng for a period of time......"

Yang Wenyue had a cold face and told the truth all about his trip out of the city this time.

"Li Zixiao is sick? No way, this must be his conspiracy. After listening to Yang Wenyue's words, Chen Yongfu couldn't help but roar.

"Hey, what a Li Zixiao, his illness, we really can't stop him from entering the city anymore, otherwise it will be unreasonable on our side."

Even at this time, Ding Qirui, who was sitting in the mansion drinking tea with peace of mind, put down his teacup and said with a sigh after hearing Yang Wenyue's words.

"Lord Ding, this Li Zixiao must be pretending to be sick, I saw him alive before, and I also met Li Zicheng as the head of the thief, but now he is sick in a blink of an eye, who believes it!

You must not let him lead the army into the city, that would be like luring the wolf into the house. ”

Chen Yongfu was also anxious and said to Ding Qirui.

"However, now that Li Zixiao is so sick, if we don't let him enter the city to recuperate, I'm afraid we will give the tens of thousands of troops under him outside the city a chance to mutiny.

If this spreads, saying that Li Zixiao led the army to rescue us and is seriously ill and in crisis, we refuse to let him enter the city.

For this reason alone, even if Li Zixiao's army really attacked us, the saint would not be able to make the decision for us afterwards.

This time, whether Li Zixiao is really sick or fake, as soon as his reason comes out, we can't refuse to let him enter the city anymore. ”

At this time, Ding Qirui also admired Li Zixiao in his heart, but he didn't expect Li Zixiao to come up with a countermeasure so quickly, and they couldn't refuse.

Hearing Ding Qirui say this, Chen Yongfu's face was gloomy and dripping, and it was not easy to prevent Li Zixiao from entering the city, so would he fall short like this.

"No, I will never agree to let Li Zixiao enter the city." At this time, Chen Yongfu also let go and said resolutely to everyone.

Maybe it was because he felt the strange eyes around him, Chen Yongfu also knew that he was out of shape at this time, but he didn't care.

"Mr. Chen, you must not act recklessly, otherwise you can't afford the consequences."

At this time, Ding Qirui could no longer sit idly by, and said to Chen Yongfu in a cold voice.

After hearing Ding Qirui's words at this time, Chen Yongfu didn't want to offend Ding Qirui, so his tone softened and said, "Li Zixiao wants to go to the city to recuperate, it's okay."

But he could only bring a few guards into the city, and his army must remain outside the city, otherwise the officials would rather go to war with him than open the gates. ”

When Chen Yongfu said this, Ding Qirui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately said: "Okay, I agree with Chen Zongbing's method."

Then only Li Zixiao will be allowed to enter the city to recuperate, and we will provide the best doctors and medicinal herbs to keep his army outside the city. ”

Ding Qirui thought in his heart at this time: If Li Zixiao can really enter the city alone this time, then he will have made a great achievement.

When the time comes, regardless of whether Li Zixiao is really sick or not, he will ask Chen Yongfu to directly put Li Zixiao under house arrest, and then he will send someone to report to the saint and listen to the saint's whereabouts.

Ding Qirui, as the secretary of the military department of the Ming court at this time, knew very well about the inside story that Chongzhen had always wanted to recall Li Zixiao to the capital and weaken his military power.

But unfortunately, in the face of Chongzhen's summons before, Li Zixiao has been pretending to be sick and refusing to go, if he can control Li Zixiao this time, the saint will be very happy.

"General Yang, then bother you......"

Chen Yongfu felt a little better when he saw Ding Qirui agreeing to his new method, just letting Li Zixiao enter the city, Chen Yongfu was still able to accept it.

For Chen Yongfu, what threatens him is only the army under Li Zixiao, and he can't afford to make big waves in Kaifeng City alone.

Therefore, at this time, Chen Yongfu said to Yang Wenyue, hoping to let him go out of the city again.

"General Chen, Ben General has also participated in the battle to defend the city for several days, and then went out of the city again, physically and mentally exhausted, and wants to have a good rest.

For this errand, General Chen still sent others to tell Li Zixiao's generals outside the city that he was tired and went back to rest. ”

This time, Yang Wenyue didn't let Chen Yongfu finish his words, so he directly blocked Chen Yongfu's words.

Then, he turned around and left with Lu Teng.

Yang Wenyue sneered in his heart at this time: "Damn, Chen Yongfu, you really think that Lao Tzu is a bad pen, and you let you use it for nothing."

What you think is beautiful, and only letting Li Zixiao go to the city to recuperate alone is simply a fool's dream, how could Li Zixiao's generals agree. ”

Yang Wenyue knew in his heart that Chen Yongfu's beautiful plan was impossible to realize, and he would not make the same mistake a second time.

Next, in the contest between Chen Yongfu and Li Zixiao, Yang Wenyue decided to kill and not participate.

Seeing Yang Wenyue leaving, Chen Yongfu knew what Yang Wenyue meant, and then looked at his son Chen De on the side, and ordered: "De'er, then you send a group of people out of the city and tell Li Zixiao's subordinates about our decision." ”

As a result, an hour later, the group of people sent out of the city by Chen De all swollen into pigs' heads and came back.

They told Chen Yongfu that a general named Qi Wei under Li Zixiao did not reply to his request after listening to his request, so he directly beat them up and threw them out of the barracks.

"Lord Commander, the last Qi Wei asked us to tell your lord that it is best to open the city immediately after dawn and let their army enter the city.

Otherwise, don't blame them for making a move, and force it in. ”

After listening to the report of the person who came back, Chen Yongfu 'Peng', smashed a teacup in his hand, and said coldly: "Qi Wei? He is really Li Zixiao's person.

It seems that Li Zixiao is his backer, which makes him very arrogant, and the official wants to see how he gets in.

This official can defend against the attack of more than 100,000 thieves, and he can still be afraid of 30,000 men under him Li Zixiao!

The order was sent down to prepare the army for battle to prevent Li Zixiao's army from attacking the city after dawn. ”

At this time, Chen Yongfu was also iron-hearted, that is, he didn't plan to open the city and let the White Dragon Army enter the city, I have to say that Chen Yongfu was quite tough.

At this time, Li Zixiao was also angry in the White Dragon Army!

How could he agree to enter Kaifeng City alone, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, can he still not understand this truth?

"Qin Zhen, how did you do with the information you spread in the army?"

At this time, Li Zixiao sat in front of the bed and asked in a deep voice to Qin Zhen, who was kneeling in front of him.

"Back to the general, the news has spread, and the soldiers know that the general is critically ill at this time, and they also know that Chen Yongfu refuses to let us enter the city to rest.

The soldiers were very angry and eager to attack Kaifeng City immediately. Qin Zhen said respectfully.

"Okay, you did a good job in this matter, General Ben remembered, you go down."

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

After Qin Zhen withdrew from the tent, Li Zixiao turned his face to look at Qi Wei again, and said, "It seems that Chen Yongfu is iron-hearted and will not let our army enter the city."

In this case, let's not talk nonsense with them, and after dawn tomorrow, you will personally command the army, build siege equipment, and prepare to storm Kaifeng City.

Before, you used to stay in Kaifeng City, and you know the Ming garrison in the city best, do you think that if our 30,000 troops attack the city with all their might, how long will it take to attack it? ”

Qi Wei thought for a while and said, "Back to the general, there were more than 20,000 Ming soldiers in Kaifeng City, and there were many young men who were recruited by Chen Yongfu.

It's just that Li Zicheng had an army of more than 100,000 before, and he had attacked the three walls of Kaifeng for several days, and he had already caused heavy casualties to the Ming army in the city.

At this time, if Chen Yongfu's subordinates could mobilize seven or eight thousand Ming troops to defend the city, it was estimated that it would already be his limit.

More importantly, with the withdrawal of Li Zicheng's army, all the soldiers of the Ming army in the city breathed a sigh of relief and were very happy.

In this case, Chen Yongfu wants them to fight again to block our army, and the morale of those Ming army soldiers will definitely not be too high.

They defend against thieves to protect their families and children, but we are also Ming troops, and we have a good reputation, so we will not pose a threat to them after entering the city.

In this way, why should those Ming soldiers in the city take action against their life-saving benefactors after escaping the catastrophe!

When the time comes, those who are willing to follow Chen Yongfu and fight against us are probably the only ones who are most loyal to Chen Yongfu.

On our side, because the general deliberately spread the news that you were seriously ill, but Chen Yongfu did not let us enter the city, the soldiers were already indignant and had a high fighting spirit.

Considering these conditions, my subordinates feel that if we really launch a strong attack on Kaifeng City, we will be able to attack Kaifeng within three days. ”
