Chapter 4 Great Changes in the World

Sun Dezhi and several lieutenants planned to attack Wangwu County at night and rescue Cheng Yaojin. Everyone quietly approached the city wall. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin's broken gong-like voice shouted at the top of the city: "Sun Dezhi, you stupid donkey, go find Xu Shiji, you are no match for this guy!"

Then Cheng Yaojin shouted again: "Go away quickly, don't break my plan!"

In the moonlight, Cheng Yaojin was vaguely stripped of his body and hung upside down on a wooden stake. Two big men next to him were gestured on him with bright daggers.

"General, what should I do?" a soldier asked in a low voice.

Sun Dezhi bit his lip tightly. Seeing that the other party was ready, he had to wave his hand, "Let's go down first and find General Xu!"

Hundreds of Sui soldiers rushed away in the darkness. When several defenders at the top of the city saw that the Sui soldiers had gone away, they took Cheng Yaojin down and carried his legs and arms to the city. They heard Cheng Yaojin's scolding from afar, "You bastards, take a pair of pants for me to put on!"

.........

The lobby was brightly lit, and Wang Junkuo sat at the small table and drank silently, one cup after another. Obviously, he was in a bad mood. He placed a silver medal next to the wine pot. It was Cheng Yaojin's military card with the words "Zuo Xiaowei General Ya". This is a high-ranking official from the fourth rank. Wang Junkuo knew very well that Cheng Yaojin's talents were not as good as him, but he could get into the position of General Ya, and his future was still uncertain.

When Wang Junkuo left the Wagang Army angrily, he considered going to join Li Yuan, but when he thought that he was so decisive when he rejected Li Yuan, he couldn't let go of this face. At that time, Yang Yuanqing had just begun the eastern expedition and the situation was not clear, he didn't want to go rashly to join him. Fortunately, Song Jingang treated him well and treated him well.

But although Song Jingang was good to him, he also had many weaknesses. His biggest weakness was the army. His soldiers were all from Mayi and Yanmen County. This meant that he could not last long. As a result, Song Jingang really surrendered to Dou Jiande.

Wang Junkuo was not optimistic about Dou Jiande. Although this person was powerful, his origin in a bandit made him unable to get support from Shandong gentry. This was Dou Jiande's fatal weakness, and there was no strict system. From his title of Song Jingang as the Prince of Henei, Dou Jiande's randomness can be seen. Can the title of Prince of Prince be granted casually?

Maybe Dou Jiande can win for the moment, but there are no rules and systems, and everything is based on your will. Can such a person achieve great things in the end? Wang Junkuo has also read books. He is very suspicious of such a person. If Song Jingang surrenders to Dou Jiande, he will definitely pass. If Dou Jiande is defeated, he will have to surrender again. He doesn't want to taste the taste of a slave in the three surnames.

Song Jingang could no longer surrender to Yang Yuanqing, but Wang Junkuo had nothing to do with Yang Yuanqing. He could surrender. Wang Junkuo was a little moved, but just surrendered so simply, his heart was a little unwilling. He wanted to surrender to Yang Yuanqing himself instead of surrendering to his generals.

At this time, a soldier stepped forward to report: "Report to General, the Sui army has retreated, and it seems that they are leaving."

Wang Junguo drank a glass of wine and asked, "How is Cheng Yaojin?"

"He's fine, he's just cursing the general."

"What did he scold me?" Wang Junguo asked coldly.

The soldier hesitated and said, "He is scolding the general for not knowing the current affairs and will not have the chance to be a eunuch in the future."

"This bastard!"

Wang Junguo cursed softly and ordered: "Take him up and see me."

After a moment, Cheng Yaojin was pushed to the lobby. He wore a pair of pants, but his upper body was still naked. As soon as he entered the lobby, he shouted: "Wang Lao Er. You are so unkind. At least we had a meal in the same pot back then. I don't want you to be lenient, at least I wear one piece of clothes. It's so cold now."

Wang Junguo glanced at him and sneered: "You still owe me twenty yuan, so that armor will be paid back to me with capital and profit."

"I took off your green locust, that armor from Liu Wuzhou. It is the best iron armor, worth at least a hundred gold coins. Damn it, I'm losing too much."

Cheng Yaojin looked rude but was very cunning in his heart. When he saw his military card on Wang Junkuo's table, he guessed that Wang Junkuo was jealous of him. However, in this way, he had the opportunity to win over Wang Junkuo. In fact, when Cheng Yaojin fell into a trap, he heard Wang Junkuo's voice and had an idea in his mind. Winning up a general was much more rewarding than seizing a city, so he tried his best to drive Sun Dezhi away. If he hurt someone, it would be a little difficult to deal with.

Cheng Yaojin was very popular when he was in the Wagang Army. He drank with Wang Junke every now and then, and knew a little about his thoughts. He knew that this person was actually very fame and fortune, and was arrogant and arrogant, so he could only praise him, but not force him.

"Okay! Even if the armor pays you back your debt, then for the sake of brotherly love in the past, wouldn't you invite me to have a drink?"

The soldiers on both sides were furious and were about to teach Cheng Yaojin a lesson, but Wang Junguo stopped them and said, "Let him loosen his ties and let him sit down."

The soldiers had to loosen the tie for Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin was secretly happy. He took Wang Jungu's green robe from the wall and put it on. He sat down casually, lifted the lid of the pot and poured a bowl of wine into the bowl, "I said, when did you become so delicate, and you actually drink with a cup, becoming the same as Yang Yuanqing."

Wang Junguo's heart moved and asked him without saying a word: "From your tone, I seem to be very familiar with Yang Yuanqing?"

"Of course, in the fourth year of Renshou, I went to Beijing to participate in the martial arts ceremony and stayed in an inn with him. He forgot to bring the money on him. It was my house paid for him. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old at that time and taught me how to practice arrows. At that time, the single turtle head was there, and I even fought with him. If Yang Yuanqing hadn't pulled it away in time, he would have almost died."

Cheng Yaojin was so excited that he had already eaten three bowls of wine. He suddenly frowned, "I seem to have told you."

Wang Junkuo recalled it. Cheng Yaojin seemed to have told him, but he thought he was bragging at that time, and he boasted about knowing Shan Xiongxin at that time, but he was called Lao Dan, but now he has become a Shan Tui Head. Although Wang Junkuo knew that Cheng Yaojin was pleasing him, he felt relieved. He hated Shan Xiongxin in his heart and scolded Shan Tui Head, which was exactly his wish.

"I think you're a bit exaggerated. Are you really familiar with Yang Yuanqing?" Wang Junguo asked a little doubtful.

"You are a bastard!"

Cheng Yaojin jumped up in a hurry, and he reached out to take his silver medal, "See, General Ya General, the second figure of the Knight Guard, the general is Xu Shiji, because he is the third leader of the Wagang Army, so he is valued. What am I? In terms of martial arts, I can't even pass you for five rounds. In terms of cavalry, damn, I don't even deserve to carry shoes for you. In terms of credit, I have no merit. Do you know Ma Shao? The flat head of Fengzhou Army. Yang Yuanqing followed him when he was a gang. But now he is only Yang Sien's Amateur, just like me, why do you think I can be an Amateur? Isn't it good to have a personal relationship with Yang Yuanqing?"

Wang Junguo nodded. He believed it a little. With Cheng Yaojin's ability, he was indeed a bit arrogant to be an Asian general. It would be nice not to be a good person. He could speak and had a self-knowledge.

Cheng Yaojin narrowed his eyes. Seeing that Wang Junguo was a little moved, he circled in a circle and said, "I might as well reveal a secret to you. In fact, we were two armies heading south. Luo Shixin led 10,000 cavalry to Baixing and had already entered Hanoi County, cutting off your retreat. I heard from Xu Shiji that Yang Yuanqing had a crush on Song Jingang's army and wanted to recruit and replenish all the troops, so you can't escape, and all of them had to be captured. Alas! Lao Wang, why bother?"

Wang Junkuo was shocked. He saw sweat on his forehead. Yang Yuanqing had already gone to Baixing to cut off their retreat. He believed that this was true. Cheng Yaojin could not make up this tactic.

Wang Junkuo lowered his head and said nothing. He was extremely conflicted. Seeing that the soup cake was almost cooked, Cheng Yaojin was still missing the last scoop of water. He advised again: "The emperor is already dead in Jiangdu. Yang Yuanqing supported the Dai Wang Yang You. In fact, we all know that Yang Yuanqing will ascend the throne to become the emperor in the future. If you want to win big money, you have to place bets early. A little monkey like me is not worthy of accepting your surrender. To be honest, Xu Shiji is not worthy of you. You are originally from Hedong. If you are willing to surrender to Yang Yuanqing, Cheng Yaojin will lead you to see him. If you can't get the general, there will definitely be no problem for the Asian general. But I want to tell you, don't think about the prince of Hanoi. This is a real court, not a straw troupe like Dou Jiande, and only Yang Yuanqing can be the king. In the future, we will still have hope of being a duke. How about it, are you willing to go to Taiyuan with me and Guangzong Yaozu home! "

Wang Junguo was finally moved. He glanced at several of his personal soldiers, and the soldiers nodded to him and expressed their approval for his surrender to Yang Yuanqing. Wang Junguo resolutely made up his mind, "Okay! I'll go with you to see Yang Yuanqing."

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "If you want to Gao Feng, you have to show your sincerity. It is not good to meet empty-handedly."

"I know, I will hand over Jiyuan County to you."

...........

After Cheng Yaojin's persuasion of the lotus, Wang Junkuo finally agreed to surrender to Yang Yuanqing. Cheng Yaojin immediately ordered someone to find Sun Dezhi, and handed over Wangwu County to him. He took Wang Junkuo to Jiyuan County. The next afternoon, Cheng Yaojin entered Xu Shiji's camp.

"Old Xu, I'm back from making great contributions!" Cheng Yaojin shouted before he even arrived at the tent.

Xu Shiji had just received information written by Sun Dezhi, saying that Cheng Yaojin was careless and captured. He was worried, but when he heard that Cheng Yaojin was back, he was shocked and happy and quickly came out.

"Aren't you captured? Why are you back? You're fine!" Xu Shiji asked repeatedly.

Cheng Yaojin grinned, "How could I have something wrong? Sun Dezhi, that idiot, doesn't understand my plan. I knew that the other party was using a plan to arrest me, so I used it to let them capture it into the city. Look, I convinced Wang Junkuo, he was willing to surrender to us, and you don't need to beat Jiyuan County."

Xu Shiji was overjoyed. He didn't want to expose Cheng Yaojin's self-proclaimedness. It didn't matter how he was arrested. What was important was to persuade Wang Junkuo to surrender, which was a great achievement.

He gave a thumbs up, "Good example, this great achievement is yours, I will definitely show you the merit."

Cheng Yaojin pulled Xu Shiji aside and whispered: "Wang Junkuo's condition is to surrender to the general manager. I want to take him to Taiyuan. You can write a letter! Tell me about the importance of seizing Jiyuan County this time and give Wang Junkuo some face."

Xu Shiji nodded, "This is no problem. When will he surrender?"

Cheng Yaojin looked back at Jiyuan County, and saw the city gate wide open from afar. A team of soldiers walked out with white flags and smiled and said, "Did you see, isn't this coming?"
