Among the four teams of the Sui army attacking the Central Plains, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin were undoubtedly the main forces, and the 10,000 troops led by Li Jing seemed to be the simplest task. To capture Dongjun and destroy the Wagang army's old nest, Wagang Village, but in fact, this task is not simple. Wang Shichong must send troops to capture Dongjun. This will be a side confrontation between the two Sui army.＞

How can we fight without breaking, and the wisdom and combat ability of the main general are extremely high. It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Xuan chose Li Jing to attack Dongjun.

Li Jing crossed the Yellow River from Ji County, and 10,000 troops were stationed in Baima County, a county not far from the Yellow River. Li Jing was not in a hurry to attack Wagang. He had already received news that King Yang Qing of Xun was leading 20,000 troops from Xingyang County.

In the big tent, Li Jing was replying to the head coach Zhang Xuan. Just an hour ago, he received a quick letter from the head coach from Jiyin County. In the letter, Zhang Xuan asked him to wipe out Yang Qing's army. Of course, Li Jing also knew that Yang Qing was the culprit of Zhang Xutuo's death. The head coach had always hated him to the core and would never spare him lightly.

At this time, the young general Qin Yong appeared at the door of the tent and bowed and said, "General, someone from Wagang Mountain has sent a letter and said you know."

Li Jing thought about it and realized that it must be Cheng Yaojin sent someone to deliver the letter.

"Let him in!"

It was before Li Jing went to war that the left-behind general of Wagang Village was actually Cheng Yaojin. This was beyond Li Jing's expectations. On the grassland, Li Jing had dealt with Cheng Yaojin and knew that he was Zhang Xuan's friend, a very cunning person. With this person in Wagang, Li Jing's way of dealing with Yang Qing was significantly increased, and he could choose the most beneficial method for him.

After a moment, a young man with a farmer came in. He knelt down on one knee and saluted, "Scout Li Zhou, the captain of the Third Battalion, met General Li."

Li Jing was stunned. How could it be his own person? He asked quickly: "Are you coming from Wagang Village?"

"That's right! The general was chosen by the general, so let's follow General Cheng to Wagang Village."

Li Jing was overjoyed, "Then how many people do you have in total?"

"There are fifty people in total. Now he pretends to be General Cheng's personal guard. General Cheng asks Bei Zhi to come and contact him to see what General Li needs him to do? If he does not ask directly, he will present Kewagang Village to the general."

Li Jing thought about it and found that he did have a plan, but it was not very mature. He picked up the pen and prepared to write a letter to Cheng Yaojin. Li Zhou smiled bitterly, "General Cheng is illiterate, so let me tell me directly!"

"Then do you know how to read?"

"Haoshi's literacy."

"That's it. You tell him the content of the letter, and there are some things that you can't explain clearly."

Li Jing then wrote a letter to Cheng Yaojin. He asked while writing: "How is General Cheng performing in Wagang? You should be very smart and capable!"

Li Zhou smiled bitterly again, "He is indeed very smart and capable, but not the kind of smart and capable that the general imagines."

Li Jing became a little interested. He hadn't seen Cheng Yaojin for many years, but he didn't know what he had become. Li Jing stopped writing and asked, "Then what kind of smart and capable he is?"

"The general doesn't know that General Cheng is the famous "Three Essential General" in the Wagang Army. Some people call him the "Three Nothing General". The so-called "Three Nothing" means "being good at gambling but not good, having no amount of wine, being lustful but not brave." I heard that he was going to fight, and he escaped faster than anyone else. If there were any benefits, he would definitely be the first to rush up. Bei Zhi knew him and had never seen him suffer losses in the past two years. If someone treats him, he will be very excited and can't drink until the next morning. If it's his turn to treat him, he will be drunk as if he's drunk and can't wake him up."

Li Jing couldn't help laughing. As expected, this kind of cunning person happened to deal with Yang Qing. He quickly finished writing the letter, handed him to Li Zhou, and said with a smile: "I just told General Cheng the result I wanted to achieve, and General Cheng would do it himself."

"Don't worry, General! He won't let the general down."

After following Cheng Yaojin for a few years, even Li Zhou believed that there were not many people who were more talented than Cheng Yaojin.

Since an inexplicable fire burned the grain warehouse of Wagang Village, Cheng Yaojin was promoted by Zhai Rang to the main general of Wagang Village for his contribution to extinguishing the fire and was named General of Loyalty and Concerned for his loyalty and courage, and led 5,000 troops to garrison Wagang Village.

Unfortunately, General Cheng was neither loyal nor brave nor honest. He was idle in Wagang Village and gathered all day long to gamble, drink and eat meat. Some people really couldn't bear it, so they ran to Zhai Rang to sue him, but Zhai Rang thought it was a trivial matter. His subordinates basically had the habit of being good at drinking and gambling. As long as they could defend Wagang, they didn't have to worry about these trivial matters.

It was precisely under Zhai Rang's ignorance and indulgence that Cheng Yaojin became more unscrupulous and gambling and drinking all night in Wagang Village, and his life was happier than that of a god.

But the good days finally ended, and the war in Dongjun was approaching. Cheng Yaojin had not drunk alcohol for the whole day, nor did he have the interest of gambling. He sat on a big rock on the top of the mountain since noon.

Li Zhou brought him news about Li Jing, whose mission was to wipe out Yang Qing's 20,000 troops and ask him to complete the Wagang Army independently, which had nothing to do with the Sui Army, so Cheng Yaojin felt that he had seen the big-headed ghost. How could this be accomplished?

"General, if it really doesn't work, tell General Li, we don't have to take risks." Li Zhou couldn't help but persuade.

"Bad, how can I do it!"

Cheng Yaojin's cunning little eyes were spinning rapidly. He had already thought of a wonderful damage plan. He asked: "Old Li, what etiquette is usually used if I apologize to my good brother?"

Li Zhou scratched his head, "In this case, the ancients said that he had carried a thorn and apologized for guilt."

Li Zhou knew that he didn't understand, so he simply told him, "With his upper body naked and carrying a bunch of thorns on his back, he said that he had done something wrong and apologized to the other party sincerely, but he should not be laughed at inappropriate situations."

"I remember!"

Cheng Yaojin nodded and laughed again: "Old Li! Do you know what is the biggest problem of Yang Qing?"

Li Zhou shook his head, "I don't know the humble position!"

"I tell you, Yang Qing's biggest problem is his greed for money. He was not satisfied with how much money he earned from the Wagang army with Chen Mi Languzi. This time, I guess he volunteered to attack Wagang. The fundamental purpose was to make money. I will satisfy him again so that he will never forget it for the rest of his life."

After saying that, Cheng Yaojin waved to Li Zhou and whispered in his ear: "You go find General Li, who is from a drug-buying family, and ask him to do this clearly!"

Li Zhou grinned. It was probably only this bastard Cheng Yaojin wanted to get such a bad method.

"General, let's go now. In addition, didn't General Li come from the Li family of Zhao County? How could he be from selling medicine?"

"He must be a drug seller. His nickname is a pharmacist. I guess he used to be a specialist in pounding medicine for people."

Li Zhou covered his mouth and ran away, and then laughed out loud.

Cheng Yaojin is worthy of being Yang Qing's confidant. This time, Yang Qing insisted on volunteering to lead 20,000 troops to fight Wagang Village despite his age. He was indeed here for money. Yang Qing had been dealing with the Wagang Army since the seventh year of Daye, and was even more familiar with the Wagang Army than ordinary Wagang generals.

Zhai Rang traveled across Henan and robbed merchant ships in the Yellow River. He didn't know how much money and rare treasures he saved. The money was probably used for military expenses, but the rare treasures were not. Yang Qing knew that according to the rules of the Wagang Army, the money was confiscated, and the jewelry was owned by the king. The generals were rewarded by the generals, but Zhai Rang never rewarded the generals with any treasures.

Yang Qing once asked Zhai Rang to exchange treasures for food, but Zhai Rang refused. Zhai Rang's three wives alone had two large boxes each. Yang Qing had seen Zhai Rang's wife have a night pearl as big as a pigeon egg, embedded in the crown, and it was priceless. Yang Qing's eyes were red. At present, they all live in Wagang Village, not in Liangjun. Yang Qing believes that Zhai Rang's wealth must still be in Wagang Village.

Yang Qing was afraid that the Northern Sui army would seize the Wagang army first, so he led 20,000 troops to march day and night toward Wagang Mountain. However, Yang Qing was lucky. His scout reported that there was a problem with the food of the Northern Sui army. After crossing the Yellow River, he had been stationed in Baima County and did not go to Wagang Mountain. This made Yang Qing breathe a sigh of relief. That afternoon, Yang Qing led 20,000 troops to the foot of Wagang Mountain.

He has been stationed here for more than a year and is very familiar with every tree and grass here. When he returned to his hometown, Yang Qing felt that time had been shortened, as if the past had just been born yesterday.

Yang Qing did not want to fight, especially the leader of Wagang Village was Cheng Yaojin, the famous "Three Evil General". Fighting with him was simply a self-destructive person. Yang Qing sent people up the mountain to deliver a letter, asking Cheng Yaojin to surrender immediately, otherwise the army would attack the mountain and kill all of them.

An hour later, the soldiers sent a letter to the mountain to report, "Report to Your Highness, General Cheng is willing to surrender to Your Highness, but he has only one request. His soldiers are unwilling to go to Luoyang, and ask the veteran general to release his soldiers back to his hometown to farm."

"Don't want to go to Luoyang?"

Yang Qing asked, "Did you see it?"

The sending letter soldier nodded, "He asked the soldiers around him that all these soldiers wanted to go home, and I saw it with my own eyes."

Yang Qing laughed and said to the generals around him: "I didn't expect that this Sanjue General is actually quite loyal, it's rare!"

Everyone laughed, and Yang Qing nodded and said, "I promised him that each person will return to his hometown for five dou of rice, and will never go back on his word!"
