Chapter 164 North and South Theater
"Deputy envoy, brothers Qin Qiong and brothers Niu Jinda have already told me in detail. I am grateful for your kindness. Since you are here specifically to recruit me Cheng A Chou, then I, Cheng A Chou, will be determined to follow you in this life. I, the horse, lead the horse and fall from stirrups, go through fire and water, and smash it to pieces, and do not hesitate to do so."
As in the legend, the famous Cheng Yaojin is a black and strong man, and also like in the legend, Cheng Yaojin is a man with a straightforward and fierce temper. After Qin Qiong and Niu Jinda introduced Chen Yingliang's past and rescued him, Cheng Yaojin didn't even blink his eyelids, and immediately knelt in front of Chen Yingliang, bowed his hand and bowed, and offered to be a lifelong accomplice for Chen Yingliang. Niu Jinda, who was originally Cheng Yaojin's accomplice, bowed to Chen Yingliang without any good fortune, and vowed to the heaven to betray his own class, and to the loyal lackey of the landlord class Chen Yingliang helped Chen Yingliang to brutally suppress the peasant uprising army. The sea was gone and the rocks were gone, and he was determined to be unswerving.
Chen Yingliang, who was short of military generals at once, was of course unhappy and quickly helped Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda up with his own words. He was both kind and comforted and cared about Cheng Yaojin's injuries left by his abuse in prison. He also swears to be good brothers and good friends with Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda for life. He will share the blessings and share the joys and sorrows when he is in trouble. He will never let Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda be hungry if he eats a bite of food. All kinds of sweet words are both boring and unnutrition. I will not mention it here.
It was also at this time that Chen Yingliang knew from Cheng Yaojin that Yuan Baozang still told him a little bit, that is, if Wei Zheng, who was not honest and liked to resist, he would not give Yuan Baozang and Murong Yan's resolute protection to Cheng Yaojin, who was guilty of being punished, it was very likely that Cheng Yaojin would not have been killed by Murong Long in prison until Chen Yingliang rushed to Yuancheng for rescue. But even so, Cheng Yaojin was still tortured and whipped. Chen Yingliang had to quickly invite a good doctor from Yanggu at a high price to treat Cheng Yaojin. Although Cheng Yaojin was not very clear about why Chen Yingliang valued him so much, he was still grateful and felt good about Chen Ying.
A day later, Chen Yingliang and others successfully returned to the Turtle Door. After accepting the gratitude from Cheng's mother and the Turtle Door's brave team, Chen Yingliang did not dare to leave the army for too long. He only stayed in the Turtle Door's warehouse for a day and then set off again to return to the camp of Menghai City. Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda agreed to settle the family team and wait for Cheng Yaojin's injuries to recover, and immediately went south to Qiao County to meet Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang also knew that people like Cheng Yaojin could not be untrustworthy to him. Not only did he move south openly and openly, he also offered to accept the Turtle Door's brave team to join the Qiao County army. He promised that as long as these township heroes were willing to follow Cheng Yaojin and others to the south, they would all be incorporated into regular troops.
After saying goodbye to Cheng Yaojin and others, Chen Yingliang and his party took another three days to return to the battlefield of Menghaicheng. Fortunately, during Chen Yingliang's departure, everything was normal in Menghaicheng. There was no accident. Zhang Xutuo and Yang Wang's team were still resting in Menghaicheng honestly. At the same time, what surprised Chen Yingliang was that after he temporarily left the army, there was no conflict between the Qiao County army and the Qi County army, and friendship seemed to have been significantly improved. Especially, Kan and Luo Shixin, who had been facing each other at the gambling table, actually came to greet him side by side.

He looked at Yang Wang, who was obviously helping Chen Yingliang. Then Zhang Xutuo picked up his pen and wrote a memorial to report the matter to Emperor Yang of Sui. He also explained the crime of Murong Bai's son's mourning hall in the court, and sent people to Emperor Yang of Sui to send him to Emperor Yang of Sui, and then he was too lazy to pursue the matter. It was useless to pursue the matter. Chen Yingliang insisted that the letter was discovered when he was chasing Meng Haigong, and no one could prove that the letter was forged by Chen Yingliang himself. In the end, he was also a confused account.
After finishing the Murong Chang's affairs, Zhang Xutuo asked his new deputy Chen Yingliang to sit down, and then said in a bad voice: "Okay, discuss business matters. After you leave, I carefully considered the matter of you and I join forces to wipe out the rioters in the twelve counties. I know that you don't want to fight with me, and I don't want to join forces with you, a sly little slut. Yu Qian is worse than this. We divide the 12 counties of Henan Road into two war zones in the north and south. You are responsible for the rioters in the south. I am responsible for the northern area. When the war needs to be needed, we will join forces to wipe out the rioters."
The twelve counties were divided into two war zones, and they were responsible for one war zone alone. Without listening to Zhang Xutuo's direct command, they could fight independently. When Chen Yingliang heard that such a good thing was of course unsuccessful, he quickly nodded and said, "It depends on Ambassador Zhang's arrangements. The subordinates obeyed the order. I dare to ask Ambassador Zhang, how to divide the two districts in the north and south?"
"You are responsible for the five counties." Zhang Xutuo replied in a lingering manner: "The five counties of Liang County, Pengcheng, Xia Pi, Donghai and Langya belong to you, and the rest belong to me, how about?"
Chen Yingliang looked a little embarrassed because among the five counties assigned by Zhang Xutuo to Chen Yingliang, Liang County was the main activity area of the Wagang Army. For various reasons, Chen Yingliang now neither wants to completely eliminate the Wagang Army nor fight with the Wagang Army too early, so as not to disturb the historical process too much and completely lose the advantage of a historical prophet. Fortunately, when he suddenly saw Yang Wang sitting opposite him, Chen Yingliang suddenly thought of a suitable excuse to refuse and immediately bowed and said, "Ambuyer, the subordinate has a small request, I hope you will agree."
"Say, what request?" Zhang Xutuo replied casually.
"The ambassador forgives the crime. Can you let the Xiaguan be responsible for only four counties? Please take care of Liang County?" Chen Yingliang said carefully: "There are two reasons. The first is that Xiaguan's troops have too few soldiers and horses, and the area responsible is too large, so I am afraid that they will not be able to meet their strength. Ambassador, you also know that Pengcheng and Langya counties are both big counties, and any county has more than twice the land of Qiao County. Xiapi County is also nearly 50% larger than Qiao County. The number of soldiers and horses under Xiaguan want to wipe out the rioters on such a vast land, and they are too powerless."
Zhang Xutuo nodded, admitting that the area of the war zone where Chen Yingliang was responsible for was indeed too large, and then asked, "What is the second reason?"
"The second reason is personal." Chen Yingliang bowed to Yang Wang opposite and said with a wry smile: "Yang Tongshou of Liang County, he is the elder of the lower-ranking official, and he is very familiar with the lower-ranking official's uncle, Duke Li. The lower-ranking official is really embarrassed to issue commanders and make trouble for him, so the lower-ranking official wants to ask the ambassador to take charge of Liang County himself, so as not to be embarrassed when the lower-ranking official negotiates with Uncle Yang."
Yang Wang smiled and didn't say anything about this, but deep down he still didn't want to be ordered by Chen Yingliang, a junior. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Xutuo nodded and said, "Okay, then you can only be responsible for four counties. Fortunately, the situation in Liang County is quite reasonable, and the official army under Yang Tongshou's command is still very effective in fighting. I am not very difficult to manage one Liang County."
Chen Yingliang was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Zhang Xutuo. Zhang Xutuo hummed a few more times to express his dissatisfaction with Chen Yingliang, and then changed his face to change and said to Chen Yingliang solemnly: "After returning to Qiao County, in addition to expanding the army as soon as possible, you must also send troops to Pengcheng to help Dong Chun as soon as possible. The thief chaos on his side is very serious, especially the big thief leader Peng Xiaocai, who has been suppressed repeatedly. You must use your brain more and help Dong Chun eliminate Peng Xiaocai's thief earlier and destroy the arrogance of Pengcheng's thief.
Chen Yingliang agreed, and Yang Wang on the opposite side suddenly spoke: "Yingliang, respect Dong Liuzhao. Now, although you have the power above him, he is a senior after all. He is old enough to be your grandfather, and his official rank is still above you. Suddenly, he is bound to be unhappy in his heart. This is a natural human nature, you must be prepared. Remember not to be angry, it will only harm others and yourself."
Chen Yingliang responded respectfully, and Zhang Xutuo also reminded Chen Yingliang to deal with his relationship with Dong Chun carefully. Then he discussed with Chen Yingliang the distribution of money and grain for the suppression of the thieves and agreed to collect them from the responsible counties. Zhang Xutuo then said: "That's it. Since you have returned successfully and our team has almost been resting. Then let's go out tomorrow and get together to have a drink tonight, even if I see you off."
Chen Yingliang and Yang Wang agreed together, and then Yang Wang smiled at Chen Yingliang and said, "Nephew, we will not know when we will meet again tomorrow. We are good at serving, but we must also pay attention to safety and take care of our health. Also, when you get married to Miss Changsun, remember to tell me that I must go to drink your wedding wine."
Chen Yingliang quickly agreed, but Zhang Xutuo was stunned and asked, "What? You kid have already been engaged? Didn't I hear that you kid have been removed from the Chai family?"
"He was dismissed from the engagement, but he got engaged again immediately. For this matter, Duke Li made a big joke and almost made two official families for the kid."
Yang Wang, who knew Chen Yingliang and Pei Hongce's background, smiled and told Zhang Xutuo that Pei Hongce had engaged Chen Yingliang and Pei Cuiyun without knowing it as a joke. Unfortunately, Zhang Xutuo not only did not laugh after hearing it, but his expression was also very complicated. Then Zhang Xutuo peeked at Mulan next to her and found that she lowered her head and didn't speak, and could not see the expression on her face. Zhang Xutuo couldn't help but feel sympathy in her heart and said, "Girl, it's not that I don't help you, it's that you and him don't have this fate."
He quietly peeked at Chen Yingliang, Mulan's head lowered, and she kept silent in her heart, "I don't like him, I hate him, it's the handsome man who is trying to match me and him, but in fact I still hate him..."
