As the saying goes, good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, it is not that it is not that the time has not come, and when the time comes, it is inevitable to escape. In the Huai River War, the battle is fought by Wang Shichong, the strength is produced by Wang Shichong, the man is killed by Wang Shichong, the big advantage is occupied by Chen Yingliang, the big advantage is occupied by Chen Yingliang, the big advantage is captured by Chen Yingliang, the strength is produced by Chen Yingliang, the man is killed by Chen Yingliang, and the big advantage is captured by Zhang Xutuo. The heavenly law is cycled, the retribution is unhappy, and the impermanence of fate makes Chen Yingliang sigh for it.

Fortunately, Chen Yingliang is a person with a pretty good cultivation. I believe that Zhang Xutuo, who is a good person, did not come to take advantage of this on purpose. It is already a waste of time. Chen Yingliang, who has a deep grudge, had to temporarily keep the account in the black account book with tears in his eyes, and vowed that one day he would definitely take back the account with the capital and the profit. At the same time, he naturally had to swallow his anger and comfort his generals, asking the generals of Pengcheng, Qiao County, who are angry, to learn to suffer losses and fight. They must not ruin the major affairs of the court that joined forces to suppress the thieves and suppress the rebellion because of a little bit of flies. Only then did they finally appease the generals.

Chen Yingliang held back his anger, and Zhang Xutuo was very happy. Since joining the battlefield of counter-rebellion for six years, Zhang Xutuo's Qi County team has not only put out fires everywhere, but also reinforced friendly forces everywhere, wiped the butts and cleaned up the mess. When did he pick such a big advantage? This time he finally encountered such a good thing that a pie fell from the sky. Of course, the Qi County team was full of laughter from top to bottom. He was grateful to the Qiao County team that made this big cake. He rushed to thank Chen Yingliang, hoping that Chen Yingliang would continue to work hard and vote for such good intentions in the future.

Of course, there are many people who are even more miserable. The poor Lu Mingyue brothers are much more miserable than Chen Yingliang. First, they were fought over by Chen Yingliang, and then Zhang Xutuo's new force was caught up in extreme fatigue. One of the 120,000 troops was beaten and annihilated. They killed people everywhere and set fire to the fire. The food and military supplies that had been accumulated after finally accumulating fire was also lost. In the end, the Lu Mingyue brothers were able to escape from the pursuit and escape from the heavens with hundreds of cavalry. This was the result of the virtues of the ancestors.

After the Baodushan War, Chen Yingliang, who was also exhausted, ordered that Baodushan, which had a beautiful mountain and water, rest for a day before withdrawing troops. Zhang Xutuo also stayed loyally to accompany Chen Yingliang, and took the initiative to take over the battalion defense task so that Chen Yingliang's tired army could rest with confidence, and rewarded Chen Yingliang's team of slaughtered pigs and sheep. These pigs and sheep were of course stolen from Lu Mingyue, and should belong to Chen Yingliang. At the same time, Zhang Xutuo naturally had to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory, and invited Chen Yingliang and other generals from Qiao County to celebrate.

During the banquet, the generals of Qi County who easily won a big victory were of course smiling happily and cheering everywhere. The generals of Qiao County led by Chen Yingliang were all dejected and depressed, especially Chen Yingliang himself, who was even more frowning, without a smile, and his face was extremely difficult to see. In the end, Zhang Xutuo could not bear to see any loss and could not help scolding Chen Yingliang: "Boy Chen, you really can't afford to lose at all? I accidentally took advantage of you this time, and you have half of the credit and spoils. Is his face so ugly? Why don't you think about how you took advantage of Wang Shichong in the Huaishui battlefield?"

"Ambassador Zhang, you misunderstood. It's not because of this ugly face." Chen Yingliang said with a sad face: "I had a good sleep last night for ten days when confronting Lu Mingyue. I didn't dare to close my eyes a few days ago. I was injured again. Can my spirits be good?"

"You know you're awesome, right?" Zhang Xutuo's voice was a little gloating and scolded: "You haven't had a good sleep for only ten days. Do you know that last month, I was squatting in Goushan to confront Zuo Xiaoyou. I didn't take a nap for three days and three nights. Compared with me, you are lucky."

After scolding the younger generation, Zhang Xutuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, since you are too tired to bear it, go back and rest first. Don't ruin everyone's interest here. If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Chen Yingliang, who was tired and injured, was indeed very sleepy and was not polite. After suing one, he left the Central Army tent first, leaving the generals of Qiao County to continue drinking and celebrating in the tent. As a result, on the way back to the tent, Chen Yingliang accidentally met Mulan in armor, and unfortunately met him in person. He wanted to pretend that he couldn't see him. In desperation, Chen Yingliang could only say hello, "General Mulan, why didn't he go to the tent to drink and celebrate?"

Mulan, as usual, had no good face in front of Chen Yingliang. This time she became a little more violent and replied with a stern face: "I don't like that kind of noisy scene, so I asked the general for the patrol to patrol the camp."

Chen Yingliang nodded, stepped forward to his tent again. Seeing that Chen Yingliang left without saying much, Mulan suddenly felt a little angry for no reason, and pursed her rosy lips. Yu Qian turned around and followed Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang also said that she was a patrol camp and ignored her. Until Mulan followed her to the door of the tent, Chen Yingliang realized that something was wrong and hurriedly turned around and asked Mulan what was wrong. Mulan said with a stern face: "There are a few words, I want to talk to you alone."

Seeing Mulan's bad expression, Chen Yingliang did not dare to provoke the tigress who was ranked first in history. He quickly nodded and agreed to invite Mulan into his tent, and asked Mulan to sit down, forcing her tired body to sit opposite Mulan, then yawned and said, "General Mulan has something to say, but please try to be short. I am really tired."

Of course, there was insufficient light in the tent. Even though it was just a few days across the table, Chen Yingliang couldn't see clearly. He only heard Mulan ask him in a very cold voice: "Okay, I'll ask you directly, what do you mean by saying yesterday?"

"That sentence yesterday?" The exhausted Chen Yingliang was a little confused for a moment, and after reacting, Chen Yingliang suddenly felt a little nervous and began to regret the angry words he said in anger.

Sure enough, Mulan's voice immediately became even colder, and she lowered her voice and said viciously: "Don't pretend to be stupid yesterday. What does it mean to find me a good family in the family? Are you the same as those foul-mouthed Qiu Ba, calling me a fake girl behind her back? I'm laughing at me for not having a beard or an Adam's apple, like a womb?"

Chen Yingliang was a little hesitant, and his exhausted brain could not decide whether to tell Mulan the truth. He knew that Mulan was dressed as a man when he was in elementary school. He joined the army on behalf of his father and was involved in the army camp where even mosquitoes were public. Mulan stared at Chen Yingliang's face and asked: "Why don't you talk? Did you deliberately humiliate me like this?"

"This..." Chen Yingliang, who was tired and sleepy, was extremely embarrassed and had to bite the bullet and said: "It's not that he deliberately humiliated you, but just joked with you. If you don't like such jokes, I won't do it in the future."

Chen Yingliang's answer surprised Mulan. She didn't expect Chen Yingliang to admit so readily that she was a joke. She was extremely complicated for a while. After hesitating for a long time, Mulan asked in a low voice: "Are you really just kidding?"

The answer to Mulan was Chen Yingliang's low snoring. When Mulan looked up in confusion, she saw that Chen Yingliang was already lying on the desk and fell asleep. Mulan couldn't help but feel disappointed and cursed a fool in a low voice. She got up and wanted to leave, but when she saw Chen Yingliang's tired look in her sleep while helping him, Mulan changed her mind again, helped her to pick Chen Yingliang up in the waist, held him down on the bed, and carefully covered Chen Yingliang with a quilt. She hesitated for a moment, then she made an action and whispered: "Sorry, I really blamed you in the past. You are a good person. Like Ambassador Zhang, you are a true gentleman with noble character."

After saying that, Mulan turned around and left the tent. As soon as Mulan left, Chen Yingliang's eyes closed suddenly opened again, and became very bright. He snorted coldly: "Stupid girl, what's wrong with learning? What's the point of being arrogant? How good is it to admit your mistakes directly? Then put on women's clothing and let me take a closer look at what you are. If you are satisfied, I'm missing a reliable captain of the personal soldiers."

After snorting coldly, Chen Yingliang rubbed his cheeks again, wondering in his heart, "What happened to me just now? The girl's hands were full of calluses left by pulling her sword and chopping people. It could not be that soft?"

After this little episode, after a full day of rest, Chen Yingliang, who had recovered some energy, returned to Teng County with his army. Zhang Xutuo also escorted the prisoners and spoils with him. It was time to ride together to triumphantly, Zhang Xutuo asked Chen Yingliang: "What's wrong with you this time? When he was in the battle, he didn't even use any tricks to fight against Lu Mingyue's thieves. Is this yours?"

"There is no suitable terrain for a surprise victory in the battlefield in Teng County, so I can only fight hard." Chen Yingliang said casually.

Zhang Xutuo believed it, nodded and said, "It's hard for you. This time you don't share the pressure for me. Even if I can defeat Lu Mingyue's traitor, I don't know how much it will cost, and how tired the soldiers will be. I thank you for the soldiers, because of you, they have got a chance to reunite with their families."

Chen Yingliang was hypocritical and Zhang Xutuo was not polite. He immediately said, "I will discuss something with you. The Wagang thieves who were wandering around Xingyang and Liangjun have become increasingly rampant during this period. They have been robbing the canal transport four times. Although the emperor has not issued an order to scold you and me, it will definitely not work if this continues. Just as we join forces again, Yu Qian will join forces again and go straight west to eliminate the Wagang thieves?"

Chen Yingliang, who was the least willing to fight with the Wagang Army, heard the complaint and hurriedly said, "The ambassador, it's not that the officials refused to agree to you. It's because the battle in Teng County was too hard. My army was too tired, the wounded soldiers were full of the camp, and even I was injured. I urgently needed time to rest. Besides, Lu Mingyue's rioters were not captured alive this time, and they fled to the east. If he gathered to escape and made a comeback, the officials would not send troops to quell the rebellion and prevent him from growing again, it would be very likely that wildfire would spread to the east."

"I know you will use this excuse to refuse." Zhang Xutuo snorted with dissatisfaction, and then said, "Okay, it's okay if you don't go. There are not many thieves in Wagang anyway, and I am still sure to defeat them. The only thing I am not sure about is to find these group of Wagang thieves to fight to the decisive battle. You have many ideas and help me find a way to create a decisive opportunity to help me defeat the thieves."

Chen Yingliang was once again in a dilemma. Chen Yingliang was not unable to think of the way to find the main force of the Wagang Army to fight. But what Chen Yingliang didn't want the least is to change the historical process too much, causing himself to completely lose his prophet's advantage, and not to trigger a more serious butterfly effect, which would lead to the historical events he expected no longer happening. Helping Zhang Xutuo to wipe out the Wagang Army, which is still in its growing stage, would definitely seriously change the historical process.

After waiting for a long time, no one saw Chen Yingliang talking, Zhang Xutuo smiled and asked, "Why, can't you help with this little busy?"

"It's not that I don't want to help." Chen Yingliang replied with a tough head: "It's a plan to lure the enemy and lead the snake out of the hole. We must adapt to local conditions and adapt to the situation. The ambassador wants the younger generation to come up with a plan to lure the enemy now, which is really difficult for me."

After saying that, Chen Yingliang quickly added: "But I think that the foundation of the Wagang thieves is not their camp, but the transportation of the Tongji Canal. Even if you break through the Wagang Village, you will not be able to hurt the Wagang thieves. A broken mountain bandit army can give up at any time, and you will be able to rekindle as soon as you leave. The Wagang thieves are not engaged in production, and in order to win people's hearts, they never rob the local villages. All the grain supplies are robbed by robbery Tongji Canal. If you send troops westward, as long as you do something about Tongji Canal, it will not be difficult to find the main force of the Wagang thieves."

Zhang Xutuo thoughtful, nodded and said, "It's a good idea. After I arrived in Liang County, I have to make a fuss about the transportation of Tongji Canal and the thieves to lure the decisive battle."

Chen Yingliang breathed a sigh of relief and said that as long as the decisive battle in the wilderness is good. Even if that honest man Zhai Rang cannot beat you, he will have a chance to escape. As long as Zhai Rang and Li Mi, the best partners, do not die, history should not have undergone earth-shaking changes. Thinking of Li Mi who killed Zhang Xutuo in history, Chen Yingliang, who respected Zhang Xutuo in his heart, subconsciously blurted out: "Ambassador, and..."

Remind Zhang Xutuo to be careful that Li Mi's words had just come to his mouth, and Chen Yingliang stopped him again because Chen Yingliang knew very well that Zhai Rang and Li Mi's best partners cannot die yet, but Zhang Xutuo can die. Moreover, if Zhang Xutuo unfortunately died in battle in advance, he might create a better opportunity for himself.

"What else? Why don't you talk?" Zhang Xutuo asked strangely.

"Also, don't use beacon towers or other methods." Chen Yingliang changed his words and said: "Warang thieves can be rampant in Xingyang and Liangjun for many years. They must have their own information channels. Building beacon towers along the Tongji Canal canal can certainly convey military information quickly, but once the Wagang thieves detect our intentions and use false beacon towers, you can only run around the Tongji Canal, which is hundreds of miles long east and west, and you may even be lured into a trap and ambushed by the rioters."

"Thank you for guidance." Zhang Xutuo rarely used a modest tone in front of Chen Yingliang, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that you reminded me in advance. To be honest, I'm already considering building a beacon tower just now. Fortunately, you are a man from the court. If you also become a traitor, the Sui Dynasty will suffer any offense."

After saying that, Zhang Xutuo was amused by his jokes, but Chen Yingliang didn't smile at all, and was still very confused. "In the future, will I protect the Great Sui court, which is actually medicine to save? Or will I, like Li Yuan, turn the Great Sui court, who does not need to be saved at all, and set up my own business?"

With an insolvent confusion, Chen Yingliang and Zhang Xutuo led the Sui army to return to the battlefield in Teng County. However, on the same day, an imperial edict that shocked the world was suddenly sent to Chen Yingliang and Zhang Xutuo. The great and wise Emperor Yang of Sui decided to implement the fortress policy, ordering the people across the country to live in cities, counties, counties, posts, pavilions, villages, and docks to build cities, and the people moved to the city and granted land nearby. The purpose was to facilitate the management of the people, and also to allow the rioters and bandits to have no food to get and no soldiers to replenish them.

Hearing this ingenious imperial edict, Chen Yingliang and Zhang Xutuo both smiled bitterly. Knowing that doing so would only waste people and money, Chen Yingliang, who had not yet eaten up his conscience, once considered pulling Zhang Xutuo to advise him. However, when the eunuch passed the eunuch said that this idea was jointly issued by Pei Ju and Yu Shiji, Chen Yingliang quickly closed his mouth again. In this situation, Chen Yingliang said that no matter how he said he dared to offend Wenxi, the backer behind him, Wenxi.

Fortunately, Zhang Xutuo did not pull Chen Yingliang to persuade Chen Yingliang to make things difficult for Chen Yingliang. At the same time, this decree was also for local officials to implement, so there was no need to give the twelve counties the head and deputy commander of the bandit suppression in the twelve counties a headache, so Chen Yingliang and Zhang Xutuo honestly received the order to thank him. Then Zhang Xutuo took the initiative to say to Chen Yingliang: "It seems that I cannot rush to wipe out the Wagang thieves. Once this decree begins, there will be a change in the local area. I have to keep the army to prevent it. The same is true for you. After returning to Pengcheng, let the army take the time to rest and recover. Once there, you have to wipe out as soon as possible, and you cannot let the rioters take the opportunity to take the opportunity to grow."

"What should I do on the Tongjiqu?" Chen Yingliang asked hypocritically.

"There is no choice but to ask Yang Wang and Yang Qing to send troops to escort the canal ship." Zhang Xutuo sighed: "First make every effort to ensure the safety of the transport of grain, let's talk about the others later."

Chen Yingliang also sighed and stopped talking. Mulan next to him interrupted and asked, "Ambassador, deputy envoy, what should I do if the civilian ships are coming and going to Tongji Canal, but there are countless civilian ships. If the thieves in Wagang cannot rob the civilian ships, will the civilian ships suffer even more?"

Zhang Xutuo and Chen Yingliang were both stunned by the question, then looked at each other, sighing again, and speechless.

Mulan refused to give up and asked Zhang Xutuo's sleeve. Zhang Xutuo continued to remain silent, but Chen Yingliang whispered: "Miss Mulan, don't make things difficult for Ambassador Zhang. Ambassador Zhang will feel more uncomfortable than you do this. If we do not keep the grain flowing, we will not be able to protect ourselves. If we cannot protect ourselves, more people will suffer. For more people, we can only make some sacrifices."

Mulan was silent, then suddenly raised her head, clenched her fists and glared at Chen Yingliang, and gritted her teeth and asked, "Wait, what did you call me just now? Why didn't you keep your word? How did you promise me last time?"

Chen Yingliang was a little dumbfounded and had no words to say in front of the angry Mulan. Fortunately, Yuan Tiangang rushed over and saved Chen Yingliang's life, saying that there was an emergency in the army that Chen Yingliang needed to deal with it himself. Chen Yingliang was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly ran away, leaving Mulan to continue gritting his teeth. Zhang Xutuo looked puzzled and asked Mulan in a low voice: "Did he see it? What he said just now seemed to be very natural, not like others, joking with you?
