The division of Li Mi's army and the movement of the camps was another advantage for the Sui army in the Eastern Capital, that is, Chen Sangliang had another day or two without having to worry about fighting head-on battles with the Zhai Li coalition. The solid camp could not be completed in a short time, but Chen Sangliang was not idle either. As soon as he confirmed the good news about the movement of Li Mi's army, he immediately sent a large number of scouts to explore the various situations in Li Mi's new camp and understand the enemy's situation.

In the early stages of development, Chen Sangliang's direct lineage, who absorbed a large number of surrendered soldiers, had always had excellent work in scouts. Just in the evening, the Sui army scout, who was the old subordinate of Qiao Peng, discovered the approximate size of the new camp of Li Mi Army, the army composition and the main generals, and secretly drew a general sketch of the new camp of Li Mi Army. All of this was reported to Chen Sangliang. After learning that the main general of the new camp of Li Mi Army was the famous gangster Hao Xiaode, he remembered that Zhang Xutuo had fought with Hao Xiaode. When it was dark, he took the opportunity to inspect and check the posts. Chen Sangliang came to Cangnan Camp in Luokou. While patrolling the camp, he learned about Hao Xiaode's situation from Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and He Yanyu and other elderly people in Qi County.

"I don't know much about Hao Xiaode, the last generals, and others." Qin Qiong and He Yanyu and others introduced to Chen Sangliang: "In the ninth year of Daye, Hao Xiaode and some thieves followed the rebel king Bo to attack Zhangqiu, Qijun. Ambassador Zhang led us to fight with him once and defeated him. The various divisions of the thieves' army were scattered. Hao Xiaode led the remnants of the army to Jinliang, and encountered the team of General Zhou Fashang, the left Wu Guard General, and was defeated again. Then the thieves fled to the north of the Yellow River. He did not cross the south again, and he did not fight with him again, so he didn't know much about him. I only remember that he could barely fight. At that time, we defeated Wang Bo, the chief general of the thieves' army, and his thieves' army was defeated."

"I heard that after Hao Xiaode fled north of the Yellow River, he fought with Yang Taipu (Yang Yichen), but he couldn't beat him and ran away again." He Yanyu added: "Also, I heard that he had made enemies with Zhang Jinzhuo in Hebei for food and had a fight with Zhang Jinzhuo once, and he defeated Zhang Jinzhuo, but he did not capture Zhang Jinzhuo's nest. He was afraid that our official army would take the opportunity to fight, so he retreated again."

"Awesome." Chen Sangliang was a little surprised and said with a smile: "I have fought with Marshal Zhang, Zhou Fashang, and Yang Taipu. Although I didn't win, I was able to escape every time. I also defeated a local tyrant like Zhang Jin, and this Hao Xiaode seems not simple."

"Let's stay, listen to your tone, you seem a little afraid of Hao Xiaode?" Qin Qiong asked curiously.

"It's not to be afraid, but you must be careful." Chen Sangliang shook his head and replied: "In the ninth year of Daye, he set off a military campaign to rebel, and fled to Henan and Hebei, but never completely wiped out. Hao Xiaode must have accumulated some capital. There are too many new recruits in our Dongdu official army. If you are not careful, you will suffer a little loss."

"Leave the way, let us deal with Hao Xiaode." Luo Shixin volunteered: "Let us the old man in Qi County be the main force. You can send some Dongdu troops to cover us and keep the thief camp that took Hao Xiaode."

"Don't worry, let me think about it again." Chen Sangliang smiled and shook his head, and said, "I must make good use of you old people in Qi County. You and the soldiers of Qi County under your command, each of you and your soldiers in Qi County have experienced many battles, and each of them does not know how many times they crawled out of the dead. It is the most precious wealth left by General Zhang to the Sui court and the core of our Dongdu official army. I cannot use you to waste it in vain like Pei Renji. Now your most important task is to give me a good rest, take care of the old wounds, help me train new recruits, teach new recruits with the old and the new. I will worry about other things."

Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others who had been fighting for years were brave and good at fighting, and they had some sense of war-weariness. After hearing Chen Sangliang's considerate and beautiful words, Qin Qiong and others were all moved and quickly thanked Chen Sangliang repeatedly. Chen Sangliang comforted He Yanyu and others with hypocritical and kind words. Then, after inspecting the camp, he left and took Yuchi Jingde and his personal troops back to Luokou Cang City five miles north.

"Li Mi, a traitor, is indeed a skill. Hao Xiaode, the old thief who has been on the rise in the nine years of Daye, led his troops to join him. It is obvious that he was going to go to the grain of Li Yangcang in his hands. Li Mi, the traitor, had to use the veterans of the thief army under Hao Xiaode, and also had to guard against Hao Xiaode's retaliation and annexation, so he pushed Hao Xiaode forward to fight me. How should I deal with Hao Xiaode?"

On the way back to Cangcheng, Chen Sangliang was always thinking about how to deal with the current situation. When he was unwilling to fight against the enemy, he felt that he should try to learn more about Hao Xiaode’s intelligence, especially to understand the relationship between Hao Xiaode and Li Mi, as well as Hao Xiaode’s own ideas, and then acted at the opportunity to win the greatest victory at the minimum price. However, just as Chen Sangliang had just made up his mind, Yuchi Jingde next to him suddenly shouted, "Who is in the grass? What are you hiding there? That army? It's already dark, why didn't you return to the camp?"

Hearing Yuchi Jingde's shout, he followed his gaze. Chen Sangliang saw a Sui soldier standing up from the grass with his pants. While taking the initiative to take out the waist sign and handing it to Chen Sangliang's personal soldiers for inspection, he bowed to Yuchi Jingde and said, "Report to General, the villain Xie Chang, General He Yanyu's scout was ordered to go out of the camp and probate. Suddenly, he had diarrhea and shit in the grass. He didn't mean to hide. If the general doesn't believe it, please see, the villain's shit is still here."

Chen Sangliang's personal soldiers had already walked to the Sui army soldier on torches. Chen Sangliang also casually observed the soldier's appearance and found that he was in his thirties, his facial features were ordinary, his expression was very strong, and his accent was the accent of Qi County, so he didn't care much. At the same time, Chen Sangliang's personal soldiers also reported that his waist was correct. The soldier named Xie Chang was indeed going to the toilet. Chen Sangliang didn't care even more and nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. At night, the provocateurs must be careful, pay attention to safety, and beware of the sneak attacks of the thief army. Let's go."

The personal soldiers agreed and immediately returned to the team with a torch. While they were about to get rid of the horse, Chen Sangliang suddenly remembered a little thing, so he turned to the Xie Chang and asked, "Is your diarrhea severe? Do you want to go back with me and find a military doctor to treat it?"

"Thank you for your care at the left. The villain has no serious diarrhea and can still hold on." Then Chief Xie quickly refused.

Chen Sangliang nodded, then walked with his horse and led Yuchi Jingde and others away. Before leaving, he also explained: "In the future, before leaving the camp, remember to bring a rolled water with a gourd. Try not to drink raw water, as it is not good for the health."

If you go up the mountain too much, you will always encounter ghosts. What Chen Sangliang never dreamed of was that he had just left here. The Sui army soldier named Xie Chang casually pulled a handful of grass and wiped his butt. Then he used the night to cover the dark and secluded place to walk, and walked along the Sui army camp, constantly searching for weak defenses in the Sui army camp. He also tried to cross the trench of the Sui army camp and sneak into the camp. After being discovered by the Sui army secretly, he immediately showed off his waist sign to make excuses to explain. Although he could not get into the Sui army camp, he also successfully deceived the Sui army secretly and believed that he was his own. In the end, he found that he was ineffective and could not find the opportunity to touch the Sui army camp. Then he took the path and returned to the Li Mijun side division camp west of Hulaoguan...

The next morning, a strange story spread in the Li Mi Army's side division camp. Liu Heita, the young commander of the Li Mi Army Hao Xiaode army, actually claimed that he had disguised himself as a soldier of the Sui Army, touched the edge of the Sui Army camp and met with the head commander of the Sui Army Chen Sangliang. He also answered a few words with Chen Sangliang, and finally successfully deceived Chen Sangliang and returned. Regarding this news, Li Shicai and Li Wenxiang, who had recently been with Hao Xiaode army, did not believe it at all, but the soldiers of Hao Xiaode army were not surprised. After hearing the news, Hao Xiaode himself cursed, "Mom, this guy is here again."

It was also coincidental that the matter that Liu Heita himself claimed was heard by the Wagang Army soldiers who helped Li Mijun establish a camp, and then it was passed as a joke to the Wagang Army's army, and then it reached the ears of the Wagang General Xu Shiyi at noon. Although Xu Shiyi also thought this matter was a bit unbelievable, he still said this matter as a joke at the gathering of the Wagang Army and the senior generals of the Li Mijun that afternoon.

The day of Liu Heita's success seemed to have arrived early. After hearing this joke, Li Mi and Zhai Rang, who knew Chen Sangliang's treacherousness, were all very surprised. They happened to be a little free, so they could easily pass Liu Heita to the Hulao Pass Army. While gathering a banquet and drinking, they asked Liu Heita about the details. Liu Heita truthfully reported the detailed process, and honestly admitted that he had not received the order of General Hao Xiaode, and he disguised himself as a Sui army soldier and went to Luokoucang to reconnaissance the enemy situation. He also proudly told Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others that he was discovered by the guards around Chen Sangliang, and immediately took off his pants and quickly pulled him into a shit, and he successfully deceived Chen Sangliang, who was as treacherous as a fox.

When Liu Heita spoke a little unrestrainedly, Li Mi, Zhai Rang and others were eating and drinking, but he said he was shitting. Even if he was unintentional, some Wagang generals and Li Mijun senior generals were still a little uncomfortable when they heard it. At least Zhai Rang's brother Zhai Hong immediately changed his face and scolded: "Shut up, don't you see the Duke of Dongjun and Duke Wei who are using a banquet? What are you doing for those dirty things? Don't you wink?"

Liu Heita, who even looked down upon Wang Shichong in history, was naturally a proud and arrogant person. After hearing Zhai Hong's scolding, of course his face changed a little. Fortunately, Zhai Hong was open-minded and waved his hand with a smile, saying, "It's okay, it's okay, forget it. You are not bad, you can even trick Chen Yingliang, that dog official. Not bad, come and enjoy a glass of wine."

Zhai Rang's guard agreed and immediately poured a glass of wine and handed it to Liu Heita. Li Mi also smiled and said, "Why don't you thank Dongjun Duke? I will send someone to verify it later. If this happens, I will naturally have some rewards, but this time, no next time, no next time, no orders will be given. If you dare to leave the army for no reason, I will not let you go."

After hearing what Li Mi and Zhai Rang said, seeing the drink handed by Zhai Rang's guards with one hand, Liu Heita, who was originally full of hope, was suddenly disappointed and did not accept the drink. He just bowed and said, "Thank you, Duke Dongjun, but the villain's stomach is a little uncomfortable and dares not drink. Thank you."

Zhai Rang was open-minded and waved his hand to let the guards retreat. His guards also poured the wine on the ground as Liu Heita's face. Liu Heita felt even more angry and immediately asked for farewell, leaving Zhai Rang, Li Mi and others to continue to eat and drink in the coach hall, and talked about military affairs together, but they did not pay attention to Liu Heita's disappointment and anger.

He returned to Hao Xiaode's camp with anger. As soon as he entered the camp, Liu Heita's younger brother Liu Shishan had already led a group of people to greet him, rushing to ask Liu Heita and Li Mi and Zhai Rang whether they received promotion rewards? As a result, after hearing Liu Heita's angry introduction, Liu Shishan and others were inevitably disappointed. Liu Shishan also said: "Brother, Duke Wei and Duke Dongjun are not interesting enough. Even if you have not found out about the military situation of the official army this time, you have deceived the commander of the official army and escaped without hesitation. It is a good thing to blow the morale of the official army and boost our morale. Duke Dongjun and the others are having a banquet again, so they only give you a glass of wine? Isn't let you sit down and drink a few?"

"I am the Duke of Dongjun, of course I don't like a little handsome man like me." Liu Heita said depressedly, but involuntarily recalled a few words from last night in his mind...

"Thank you for your hard work. At night, the detectives must be careful, pay attention to safety, and beware of sneak attacks by the thief scouts."

"Is your diarrhea severe? Do you want to go back with me and find a military doctor to treat it?"

"In the future, before leaving the camp for a patrol, remember to bring a rolled water with a gourd and try not to drink raw water, as it is not good for the health."

At about the same time, Chen Sangliang finally knew the miserable fact that he had been deceived by the enemy on the battlefield for the second time. The reason was that in order to explore Hao Xiaode's military situation, Chen Sangliang sent a large number of scouts to scratch his tongue and ask for confessions. He successfully captured two scouts of the thief army affiliated with Hao Xiaode, and personally came forward to appease the two prisoners and asked for confessions. As a result, he asked about the matter that Liu Heita himself promoted - being able to deceive the enemy commander on the battlefield is indeed something worthy of boasting.

"Your people disguised themselves as our scouts, touched me, and answered me? Is there such a thing?" Chen Sangliang was extremely surprised and immediately remembered what happened on his way back from the camp last night.

"Return to the official, Liu Xiaoshuai said himself, the villain didn't know whether it was true or false." A prisoner replied truthfully: "But I heard that Liu Xiaoshuai often disguised himself as an enemy soldier and sneaked into the enemy's camp to explore the situation. The villain also heard that when he was hitting Zhang Jin and called King Zhang's King Zhang, Liu Xiaoshuai also sneaked into King Zhang's Pheasant Ze Water Village and secretly drew the map of the water village back."

"Mom, it seems that I have been cheated again." Chen Sangliang cursed in his heart and asked casually: "What is your name, Liu Xiaoshuai?

"Liu Heita." The two prisoners answered in unison.

"Liu Heita?" Chen Sangliang screamed and jumped up suddenly. He immediately remembered the cruel man who lost Luo Shixin, a freak child, and the fierce man who had fought with Li Er brothers for many years. It was Liu Heita, the guy

Both prisoners were shocked by Chen Sangliang's violent reaction and quickly confirmed Liu Heita's name. Chen Sangliang stopped talking. After a quick calculation, Chen Sangliang suddenly asked: "Liu Heita, what is the status of your team? Do your King Hao Xiaode like him?"

"King Hao likes Liu Xiaoshuai very much. Even if Liu Xiaoshuai does something wrong, King Hao will protect him." The two prisoners answered truthfully.

Chen Sangliang planned to ask about Liu Heita and Li Mi again, but the two prisoners shook their heads and said they didn't know. Chen Sangliang also knew that it was difficult for these young soldiers to know about these situations. He just asked Hao Xiaode's situation of the central army and whether Liu Heita was stationed in the central army. After learning that although Liu Heita was well-behaved by Hao Xiaode but did not station the central army, Chen Sangliang probably had a clear heart and knew that Liu Heita was not Hao Xiaode's absolute confidant. Then, an amazing thought formed in Chen Sangliang's heart...

"Can you bring Liu Heita down? This guy is definitely a material for a general. I remember that he rebelled against the old Li family in history. It was because the old Li family was unauthorized and betrayed and killed Dou Jiande, who was of good character. Liu Heita raised an army to avenge Dou Jiande. Now he is not successful. If such a person is well won, he might be useful."

Having made up this idea, Chen Sangliang decided to give it a try no matter how small he hoped that he would be. He immediately ordered good wine and meat to warmly treat the two Hao Xiaode Army scouts who were caught today, comforting them and admonishing them to surrender. Finally, he wrote a letter to Liu Heita, admired his courage and wit, praised him for his performance last night, and invited him to meet him again, and directly expressed that he wanted to recruit and reuse Liu Heita. Finally, two more prisoners were released, and they promised to give them money to bring the letter back to the camp and handed it to Liu Heita.

Chen Sangliang's despicable plan seemed to be lost this time. After the two prisoners were released, although they returned to Hao Xiaode's camp smoothly, they were severely interrogated by generals of Hao Xiaode's army. One of the prisoners turned against each other again and truthfully explained to the generals of the bandit army that he had been captured. The generals of the bandit army were shocked and quickly took the two prisoners and took them to the central army to hand them over to Hao Xiaode. They also found out the handwritten letter from Chen Sangliang to Liu Heita.

It was okay for Liu Heita himself. Chen Sangliang not only used ordinary surrender this time, but also did not use any divisive tricks for the first time. So after reading the letter, Hao Xiaode did not pursue Liu Heita's suspected crime of colluding with the enemy, but also carefully explained that Liu Heita should not be allowed to know about this matter, so as not to have other problems.

The incident should have ended at this point, but no one expected the subsequent chain reaction. The next morning, Li Mi suddenly came to Hao Xiaode's camp in person to inspect. Hao Xiaode accompanied the inspection room, and Li Mi suddenly mentioned yesterday's incident in a roundabout way, saying that it was his own report. Yesterday, the official army suddenly strengthened the scout war. The main target was Hao Xiaode's scout, asking about Hao Xiaode's scout loss.

Of course, Hao Xiaode didn't know that Li Mi came to play this when she received a spy report. First, she reported the loss of the scout war, and then truthfully reported the situation of Chen Sangliang's bribery of prisoners and returned to the camp to deliver the letter. Li Mi felt relieved when he heard this. He knew that Hao Xiaode was not suspected of colluding with the enemy. Then he quickly asked about the content of Chen Sangliang's letter. Hao Xiaode reported the content of the letter truthfully again, and even asked someone to get Chen Sangliang's handwritten letter and hand it to Li Mi to watch. As a result, Li Mi immediately patted his forehead and regretted himself, "I'm confused, I'm confused. Why didn't I pay attention to such an outstanding general like Liu Heita yesterday? Hurry, hurry up, send someone to invite Liu Heita, I want to apologize to him in person and give him a heavy reward."

Hao Xiaode did like Liu Heita. He was very happy to see Li Mi paying attention to his subordinates, so he immediately sent his own soldiers to send Liu Heita to see him. However, at this moment, Hao Xiaode, who had been very meticulous, had a small negligence and forgot to instruct his personal soldiers to keep Liu Heita secret. As a result...

"Duke Wei wants to see me? Why?" Liu Heita, who received the order, asked in confusion.

"Happy, great joy," Hao Xiaode's personal soldiers said happily: "The headmaster of the official army, Chen Yingliang, wrote a letter to you. After Mr. Wei found out, he regretted it and said why did he not pay attention to you yesterday? So he wanted to call you to meet and said he would give you a reward."
