It was dark, the wind was high, and people were quieter. During this good time of killing and setting fire, a scout team of transforming militia troops composed of ten soldiers were patrolling the dark night sky with torches.

Because the camp of the Bianminist Army is located fifteen miles east of Yongcheng and must be expanded as much as possible, the location of this Bianminist Army is less than ten miles away from Yongcheng, and it is most likely that it will encounter the first officers and troops who came to attack. Therefore, this scout team belonging to Du Fuwei's troops is very cautious in patrols, and they dare not even attack too much, for fear of exposing the target and being surrounded by the officers and soldiers. So they fired a torch to illuminate the road and were ready to extinguish the torch at any time to hide their bodies.

Wang Ermao walked sneakily at the end of the team, pricking up his ears from time to time to listen to the movements in the distance. Even if there was a little movement, he would immediately prepare to run away. In order to have a meal, he followed Du Fuwei's team from Bocheng to the end, and traveled down thousands of miles. Although Wang Ermao, who licked blood on the knife every day, had not changed his timid weakness, he also developed a vigilant ability to escape. This was why he did not die tragically under the sword of an official sabre or was caught by other bandits and cooked it to make human jerk, and lived until today.

It was already half past the third update, and the government army had never seen the sneak attack. Wang Ermao, who was as timid as a mouse, breathed a sigh of relief and knew that he should be able to survive tonight, because Wang Ermao, who had accumulated a lot of experience in night patrol, knew very well that if the government army came to sneak attack from the military camp, at least it would have to pass here during this period. So far, Wang Ermao had not even seen the shadow of half of the officers and soldiers, which was enough to prove that the officers and soldiers had no plans and plans for the night attack.

As soon as he relaxed a little, Wang Ermao, who had been nervous for the middle of the night, suddenly felt anxious and quickly begged Huo Chang to pause and let him reincarnate for a little grain. However, Huo Chang had just agreed, Wang Ermao heard a cry from the back of his head. At the same time, the vest became cold. Wang Ermao couldn't help but fall to the ground with a dog eating shit, screaming and falling a dog eating mud. The pitiful inventory of his stomach suddenly spitted over his crotch.

"What happened?" Wang Ermao, whose vest was sore, looked up with the snow mud all over his mouth, and suddenly saw in disbelief that a tall black shadow flew past him and rushed towards other companions. The blade broke through the space, and a companion fell to the ground screaming. At the same time, several black shadows jumped out of the bushes beside the road. Without saying a word, they waved their swords to chop off their companions. Wang Ermao was shocked and quickly lay on the ground again, pretending to have been cut to death.

The sound of blades and screams and screams kept coming into his ears. Wang Ermao, who had already experienced it, soon discovered that it was his companion who fell to the ground, and the enemy was attacking his own fire. At the same time, the only torch fell on the battlefield. With the light before the torch was extinguished, Wang Ermao clearly saw that the shadow attacking his sentry was not the officers and soldiers of the Sui army, but several men in ragged clothes. Wang Ermao couldn't help but feel nervous, knowing that he had been tragic.

The attackers were very good at fighting, and they were obviously good at fighting experience. They took the initiative to attack suddenly and quickly cut down several Wang Ermao's companions. The remaining companions did not dare to fight, so they quickly screamed and fled to the dark place. The attackers waved their swords to chase them, and then another scream of a companion fell to the ground. When Wang Ermao was quietly praying that the attackers would chase them away, a strange voice suddenly rang out, "Okay, stop chasing them, let them run away."

Several attackers stopped chasing. When Wang Ermao, who was crawling on the ground and pretending to be dead, was complaining, when the strange voice suddenly shouted again: "Dog thieves, listen well, I am the officers and soldiers of Yongcheng. Go back and tell Du Fuwei that if he doesn't get out quickly, he will die next time."

Wang Ermao lay on the ground and dared not speak. He was wondering in his heart, saying, "How could the officers and soldiers dress like us?" Then after a while, another strange voice whispered: "Brother Zhu, Du Fuwei's people have run away."

"Did they hear my voice?" asked the strange voice before.

"It shouldn't be."

"Okay, take the officers' shoes and throw them on the corpse. Also, search the bodies of these dead bodies and take away the valuable things."

With the promise, several attackers began to search for the body, and footsteps came from Wang Ermao's ears. Then one hand touched Wang Ermao's body. At that moment, Wang Ermao's heart suddenly rose to his throat, for fear that the attacker would find that he was pretending to be dead. Fortunately, the hand just turned Wang Ermao's body to the front, reached into his arms and searched carefully, searched away the hard-earned money that Wang Ermao had finally accumulated, and took away the ragged iron knife beside Wang Ermao.

"Brother Zhu, you are still tall, Gaojiazhuang's tall." Another voice suddenly sounded, and he said with a chuckle: "The people who pretended to be officers and soldiers to kill Du Fuwei were both angry and asked officers and soldiers to take the blame for us. Du Fuwei probably never dreamed that in fact, we were the people of Xia Pi who were taking action."

"I haven't been angry enough yet." Brother Zhu said viciously beside Wang Ermao: "Snatch our sheep and wine, kill our brothers, and dare to bully our brothers Miao Hai Chao Miao. When I have the chance, I must kill two dog thieves Du Fuwei and Fu Gonghu, so that our brother Miao will become the king again."

"Yes, our brother Miao shouldn't have defected to Du Fuwei, a dog thief. He should have killed Du Fuwei and Fu Gonghu, swallowed their team, and become the king of the king by yourself. You can meet Brother Miao frequently. If you have the chance, you should persuade him to kill Du Fuwei as soon as possible and become the king again."

"I have advised you a long time ago. Brother Miao is just kind-hearted and doesn't say anything. If he had said a word, I would have killed two dog thieves."

While talking in a low voice, several attackers quickly left the scene of the fight and hurried towards the militia camp. However, Wang Ermao still endured the severe pain in his vest and lay motionless. He was afraid that the attackers would turn around and find that he was not dead. He was also shocked in his heart, "It was Miao Haichao's people, Miao Haichao's people pretended to be officers and soldiers to attack us. They also wanted to kill Du Fuwei and kill uncle Fu."

I don’t know how long it took, but a noise finally came from afar. Several patrols of the militia rushed to the scene with torches. After repeatedly confirming that the person was Du Fuwei’s team, Wang Ermao then got up from the ground, and cried loudly with tears in his eyes: “I’m not dead yet, come and save me, come and save me, take me to see King Du. I have something important to report to the King—”

It is conceivable that Du Fuwei was angry after learning about this. Despite the serious injuries on Wang Ermao's back, he directly lifted Wang Ermao in the air and shouted and asked Wang Ermao if he confirmed that those attackers were Miao Haichao's subordinates pretending to be Miao Haichao's subordinates? Wang Ermao swears with tears and swore, saying that if he had told half a lie, he would be beaten to death by the sky and thunder. Du Fuwei suddenly became even more angry, and slapped Wang Ermao to the ground, pulled out his knife and yelled, "Miao Haichao, I fuck your mother's 18th generation ancestor."

"Slaughtered Miao Haichao and killed that dog bastard"

Du Fuwei's group of Yu's sons also yelled. Several of them with impulsive personalities pulled out their knives and yelled to order the army to assemble. The second-ranked Fu Gonghu quickly stood up, first stopped the messenger to assemble the army, and then immediately turned to Du Fuwei and said quickly: "Brother Du, calm down, not to mention that there is no evidence for this matter. Even if it is really a person from Miao Haichao, it has nothing to do with Miao Haichao."

"It doesn't matter much?" Du Fuwei roared: "I killed more than 100 or 200 brothers yesterday, and killed six of my brothers last night and then like this. Will I kill my head tomorrow?"

Fu Gonghu was in a difficult situation, but in order to unite and avoid internal strife, Fu Gonghu insisted: "Brother Du, it makes sense that you are so worried, but you must not lead the army to find Miao Haichao. That will only completely split our team. Can you do this? You will send someone to call Miao Haichao and confront him in person. If it is really his people, let him find the people and execute them. If he cheats and refuses to admit his account, or has any evil intentions, it is more convenient to do it here."

Thinking that Fu Gonghu's words were reasonable, Du Fuwei immediately adopted Fu Gonghu's suggestion and sent someone to invite Miao Haichao to discuss matters. However, Fu Gonghu and Du Fuwei underestimated the caution and caution of Miao Haichao's team. The evening of the first day, Miao Haichao's team had a fight with Du Fuwei and others. Before the day was clear, Du Fuwei sent someone to invite Miao Haichao to go through the camp and narrate. Even if he was as kind as Miao Haichao himself, he could not help but doubt Du Fuwei's real purpose. Miao Haichao brought Yi Yu's old subordinates from Xia Pi was even more vigilant and firmly opposed Miao Haichao's invitation. Miao Haichao felt it was reasonable, so he refused Du Fuwei's invitation on the pretext of being uncomfortable. After all, although Miao Haichao's character is considered good, he did not want to die in vain.

A terrible chain reaction occurred. After learning that Miao Haichao refused the invitation, Du Fuwei immediately ordered the entire army to prepare for combat in anger, and summoned the major thieves who were in charge of the troops alone to discuss matters at his camp. After Miao Haichao's team noticed that Du Fuwei's troops were gathering for alert, they immediately gathered the team to prepare for war and guard against each other. Other thieves who voluntarily or were forced to join Du Fuwei's team were not fools. Except for the two small thieves who reacted slowly, they went to Du Fuwei's camp to pay homage to Du Fuwei, no one of the remaining thieves was fooled. They all quickly assembled the team to prepare for war. More than a day ago, a harmonious thieves army was almost in a blink of an eye.

In response to this decay situation, Du Fuwei's group of Yu's sons advocated taking the initiative first, and quickly relied on the strongest strength to send troops to Miao Haichao to avoid worse situations. Fortunately, Du Fuwei was a little calmer now and did not impulsively order troops to send troops. Instead, he chose to seek advice from Fu Gongfu. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go to Miao Haichao's camp alone to explain the misunderstanding to Miao Haichao, so that Miao Haichao would deal with the perpetrators, and everyone would reconcile and reunite.

Du Fuwei is still as close as a brother and sister to Fu Gongfu, so he naturally did not let Fu Gongfu take this risk. He arranged for his most useless son Tian Baishe to go to Miaoying to carry out Fu Gongfu's plan. Although Tian Baishe was also afraid of death, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Miao Haichao camp to explain the misunderstanding to Miao Haichao.

Tian Baishe, who was able to escape from Chen Yingliang's butcher's knife, was of course good. This time, Miao Haichao, who was very wise, listened to his explanation calmly and carefully, and immediately suspected that this matter was the generals under his command. He immediately summoned all the generals to ask who had committed such an illegal matter and asked them to stand up and confess their guilt. As a result, all the generals under Miao Haichao all shouted injustice and denied that they had committed such a thing, but no one suspected that this was a third party framed the blame, and all believed that a companion had been a companion to vent such anger. This was not that Miao Haichao's generals were too stupid, but that the fire yesterday evening made the Miao Haichao team and Du Fuwei's troops have too deep a grudge.

No one pleaded guilty after being thunderous. Miao Haichao could only threaten to find out the culprit and then kill him. While asking Tian Baishe to go back and report to Du Fuwei, saying that he would find out the real murderer as soon as possible to apologize to Du Fuwei. Tian Baishe hurriedly said goodbye. As soon as Tian Baishe left, Miao Haichao's generals began to inquire with each other, and asked each other with a smile if the other party took revenge. Miao Haichao was even more furious. However, the generals under his command asked with confidence: "Brother Miao, isn't this right? Yesterday, those bitches robbed our wine and meat, and killed hundreds of our brothers. What's wrong with killing them to revenge?"

Miao Haichao was speechless and had to ask, "Is it you really here?"

Everyone shook their heads again, and some others said, "Brother Miao, stop asking, the brothers who do this are also loyal to you. You find out and hand them over to Du Fuwei, the bastard, who will be loyal to you in the future?"

Miao Haichao was speechless again and said after a while: "But why did I explain to Du Fuwei?"

"No need to explain." Almost all the confidants said this, "At worst, we can separate the family. We will lead the team and conquer the world by ourselves. Anyway, Du Fuwei is not yet apart from Zuo Junxing. We have swords, guns and teams, and we are afraid we can't find food?"

Miao Haichao was silent and said in his heart: "Look at Du Fuwei's reaction. If he is smart and doesn't care about this matter anymore, that's fine. If he has to force me to hand over his wife, he will be the worst. The brothers are right. If I hand over my loyal brother, who will still work for me in the future?"

The message Tian Baishe brought back made Du Fuwei's anger a little rest. After hearing Fu Gonghu's patient persuasion, Du Fuwei decided to give Miao Haichao some time and wait until he found out the real murderer. At this time, it was already bright. Du Fuwei remembered the major matter of asking Chen Yingliang to hand over 10,000 stones of grain, 5,000 stagnant of money and 5,000 pieces of cloth. However, Chen Yingliang sent someone to contact and negotiate, Du Fuwei immediately decided to send troops westward and personally force Chen Yingliang to hand over the money and grain under Yongxian. At the same time, in order to prevent the situation, Du Fuwei sent someone to ask Miao Haichao to lead the troops westward and go to Yongxian with him to ask for money to change the route.

In order to avoid continuing misunderstanding, Miao Haichao agreed to Du Fuwei's request, personally led 3,000 troops to the camp, and joined forces with Du Fuwei to join forces. However, the cracks that had already appeared could not be repaired in a short time. Out of caution, Du Fuwei ordered Miao Haichao to be the vanguard as the chief manager, and he led 5,000 troops behind him and kept a certain distance from Miao Haichao's team very carefully. As a result, Miao Haichao took the order and walked away. The old subordinates under Miao Haichao's command were all muttering in their hearts, and they suspected that Du Fuwei was deliberately trying to act as cannon fodder and ended his death in front, which made him even more alienated from Du Fuwei's team.

The militia army dispatched a large army to advance westward, of course, it was impossible to hide the eyes of the Sui army scouts. After the scout sent the news to Yongcheng, Chen Yingliang immediately ordered the army to be on full alert and ordered the army to strictly guard the city and camps. He must not leave the protection step without orders. At the same time, Chen Yingliang personally climbed the city tower at the west gate of Yongcheng, urged the troops led by Li Cai and Li Huaishen to guard the city. The camp outside the south gate continued to be handed over to Ma Sanbao to command the new army to defend, and at the same time protected important facilities such as the dock and camp.

As soon as he was ready to defend the city, the militia army had already appeared in Chen Yingliang's vision. On the city tower, he saw the enemy divided into two teams in front and back, and the distance between them was quite far. Of course, Chen Yingliang was secretly happy, but he did not rush to decide the tactics. Instead, he waited patiently for the enemy's front and back teams to arrive at the city. After seeing the enemy's formation of two front and back lines, Chen Yingliang called Qian Xiangmin in front and asked: "Look, the team that was deployed in front is Miao Haichao's team, right?"

Because of the distance, Qian Xiangmin climbed on the railing for a long time before he said in surprise: "It's Miao Haichao's team, but Chen Tongshou, have you never seen Miao Haichao's team? How do you know it's them?"

Chen Yingliang smiled, laughing so happily, and then ordered: "Mr. Qian, you can work harder to go down the city with a basket and hit a white flag to meet Miao Haichao, and ask him to come and answer. County Magistrate Dong, you immediately ask someone to prepare twenty sheep and twenty jars of fine wine and deliver it to Ximen to come and wait."

Dong You, who was holding the assessment power in Chen Yingliang's hand, immediately agreed, and immediately ran down to make arrangements in person. Qian Xiangmin's old face once again pulled longer than a donkey, and said tremblingly: "Chen Tongshou, what if Miao Haichao doesn't agree?"

"It's okay, you just need to go over and say something, and you can come back after you finish speaking." Chen Yingliang gave a casual order and said with a smile: "And you can rest assured that Miao Haichao will definitely agree."

Qian Xiangmin took the order with a frown. Yun Da Shaoqing, who had been following Chen Yingliang, was thinking and whispered to Chen Yingliang: "Nephew, do you want to go out and provoke discord in person? Isn't this too much?"
