Li Xiucheng said: "Commander, Chen Yucheng has a resounding nickname in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, called 'Thirty Check Points', which is Chen Yucheng's former official position, and 'Thirty Checkpoints' is the carbine used by Chen Yucheng. He likes to use this move whether he is fighting the enemy or leading the army in battle."
After a pause, Li Xiucheng continued: "Once Chen Yucheng is evenly matched with his opponent, or is defeated, he will look for an appropriate opportunity to show weakness to the enemy, then lead his troops to retreat, and finally kill the opponent with a counterattack. This time Chen Yucheng led The army that came out was definitely not weak, but he retreated decisively. I think Chen Yucheng was preparing to fight back again."
When Li Zhen heard this, he nodded and said: "I believe what you say, but since Chen Yucheng wants to kill the carbine, we have to chase for a while and cooperate with him." Immediately, Li Zhen ordered the pursuit, and the soldiers who had gradually stopped stopped again. Chase again.
Li Xiucheng asked in confusion: "Commander, why is this?"
Li Zhen explained: "Chen Yucheng pretends to be defeated. If we don't catch up, Chen Yucheng will think that we have seen through his plan. In order for Chen Yucheng to carry out his carbine, we must pretend not to know that Chen Yucheng will counterattack. That’s why I followed the trend.”
Li Xiucheng nodded repeatedly and looked at Li Zhen with admiration.
Just now, he didn't think carefully.
Li Zhen led his army in pursuit and lasted half an hour before stopping the pursuit. Before that, tens of thousands of troops had been following Chen Yucheng's army in pursuit.
Both sides ran away and chased each other, but they had a tacit understanding.
Chen Yucheng retreated with his soldiers, feeling happy in his heart. Because Li Zhen chased him, he had a chance to kill Li Zhen. Next to Chen Yucheng, there was a tall, thin, middle-aged man accompanying him. This man was surprisingly Xu Yuan, who was responsible for making suggestions, had been hiding on the edge of the woods with a small number of soldiers during the battle between the two armies to watch the battle.
The fighting was fierce at that time, and no one noticed that Xu Yuan and others had not come out from the edge of the woods.
Xu Yuan retreated with Chen Yucheng. When Li Zhen's army stopped pursuing, they ran for another fifteen minutes, and Chen Yucheng sent scouts to confirm that there were no pursuers behind, and then ordered a rest.
Xu Yuan sat on the cold stone, breathing heavily. It took him a long time to recover. He said seriously: "General Chen, when we left Tianjing, the two of us swore to the King of Heaven that we would take him with us." Three million kilograms of grain went back, but now that Li Zhen’s grain is fake, what should I do?”
As soon as food was mentioned, Chen Yucheng's expression suddenly turned pale.
He also patted his chest and promised to bring back three million kilograms of grain in front of Hong Xiuquan. The grain escorted by Li Zhen was fake, so Chen Yucheng's promise could not be fulfilled. Chen Yucheng clenched his fists and said bitterly: " Li Zhen is so disgusting, he dared to deceive me, I will definitely kill him this time."
Xu Yuandao: "It's not easy to kill Li Zhen."
Chen Yucheng said: "Nothing is impossible, it all depends on planning."
Chen Yucheng was not an indecisive person and said confidently: "Prime Minister Xu, you have also seen the current situation. There is not so much food at all. You cannot blame us for this."
Lao Yu said: "General Chen, actually we still have some food."
The speaker was Lao Yu, because Xu Yuan was beside him. Like ordinary soldiers, he called Chen Yu General Chen. Lao Yu said: "Most of the three million kilograms of grain are false, but there is still a small amount. Part of it is true. When I was fighting Qing Gou, I also saw many sacks containing grain. As long as Li Zhen is driven away, I will definitely get that small part of the grain."
Chen Yucheng asked: "Lao Yu, how much grain can you estimate?"
Lao Yu said: "The specific amount of grain is unclear. According to the general's guess, it is no less than 100,000 catties."
After hearing this, Chen Yucheng's eyes suddenly shone with light.
One hundred thousand catties of grain is not bad.
However, Chen Yucheng didn't know how Li Zhen did things. According to the general practice, he definitely needed a certain amount of food to fill his face to avoid being discovered. Li Zhen was so courageous that he didn't do this at all. The several thousand kilograms of grain that came out were real. The rest of the sacks were filled with mud and not a single grain of grain.
Chen Yucheng believed Lao Yu's statement and did not believe that Li Zhenneng could be so ruthless. He echoed: "There are no three million catties of grain, but after careful collection, it must be no less than one hundred thousand catties of grain. Okay, let's do it for these one hundred thousand catties of grain." , it’s time to give it a try.”
Xu Yuandao: "General Chen, is one hundred thousand kilograms of grain enough? We want the king of heaven to guarantee three million kilograms of grain, but he brought back a small amount of grain. Will the king of heaven be happy? When the time comes, King An and King Fu will fall into trouble. Both of us will suffer."
"Hey, who said I only went back with one hundred thousand catties of grain?"
Chen Yucheng stared in the direction of the army led by Li Zhen, his eyes flashing.
Xu Yuan asked: "What does General Chen have in mind?"
"Of course." Chen Yucheng waved his fist and said seriously: "I once suggested to the King of Heaven that I lead the troops to attack the Jiangbei camp and relieve the danger of Tianjing, but the King of Heaven was conservative and did not agree with me. Now Li Zhen Putting yourself in danger is a good opportunity to kill Li Zhen. After killing Li Zhen, we will carry Li Zhen's head and 100,000 kilograms of food back, and the king of heaven will be very happy."
When Xu Yuan heard this, a smile appeared on his thin cheeks, but the expression on his face was somewhat sinister, always giving people a cold feeling.
Xu Yuan smiled and said: "General Chen, you mean to kill Li Zhen with a single shot."
"The one who knows me is Prime Minister Xu." Chen Yucheng said with a smile: "Li Zhen saw our large army leaving and chased for a while but failed to catch up. Now he must have returned to the place where the food was escorted and threw away the sacks of gravel. , leave with the food, and if we fight back, we can not only kill Li Zhen, but also get the food without any effort, how great."
Xu Yuandao: "General Chen is really powerful."
Chen Yucheng chuckled, looked at Lao Yu, and ordered: "Lao Yu, let the brothers adjust well, and then follow me to fight back. No matter how powerful Li Zhen is, in front of this general, he will You have to surrender."
"yes."
Lao Yu got the order and immediately went to deliver it.
Chen Yucheng asked the soldiers to rest in place for half an hour, and then ordered to set off.
This time, Chen Yucheng was determined to kill Li Zhen and use Li Zhen as a stepping stone for him to become famous in the world. Both foreigners and ordinary people said that Li Zhen was powerful. If he raised troops to kill Li Zhen, then It proved that he was the most powerful. When Chen Yucheng thought about himself becoming famous all over the world, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He ran ahead and shouted: "Brothers, work harder."
There was a joy from the bottom of his heart in Chen Yucheng's tone, because when Chen Yucheng thought that he would be remembered by the world after killing Li Zhen, he wished he had wings, so he immediately flew over and killed Li Zhen with one shot.
