After Li Shimin pacified the north, he unified the Tang Dynasty, and there were several separatist forces in the south. The first nail he wanted to pull out was Du Fuwei, who was entrenched between the two huai. This Du Fuwei started with theft, founded the Jianghuai Army, and has been on the battlefield for many years, which is a hard nail to touch.
Li Shimin took Cheng Yaojin as the vanguard, and led his army of 200,000 to follow up. Cheng Yaojin has a nickname of "Undead", and he has always been brainless in punches. Regardless of the sea of swords and fire, he dares to jump in with his head. In normal battles, often before the main force arrives, his vanguard army will fight his opponent in a mess. But this time he became cautious for some reason. When he reached eighteen miles, he stopped moving forward and sent spies to spy on Du Fuwei's military situation. He set up camp and waited for the arrival of the army.
That day, a woman outside the barracks called herself Red Line. She was eighteen or nineteen years old, beautiful, and said, "General Cheng, you are afraid to fight, what kind of vanguard are you? Why don't you give me the vanguard seal, you go to the side to drink and eat meat, and watch me break Du Fuwei." Cheng Yaojin was furious when he heard this, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party was a woman, he would have smashed his fist long ago. He suppressed his anger and shouted, "What ability do you have, dare to say such a big thing?" Red Line sneered and said, "I have no ability, but in my eyes, the army of millions is just like a nest of ants, you can enter and leave if you want. If you don't believe it, we can make a bet and I can easily steal the vanguard seal from your barracks. If you lose, give me the Pioneer Seal, and I'll be the Pioneer for you. If I lose, I'd rather give you a lifetime of foot washing water. How about it? "A woman boasted so much, Cheng Yaojin was angry and shouted angrily," I bet! "
When Red Line left the barracks, Cheng Qiaojin did not believe that Red Line dared to steal the seal at all, and fell asleep after drinking the wine. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, Red Line came, and he really held his Pioneer Seal in his hand. Cheng Qiaojin was surprised and angry, and his heart moved, shouting: "I know, you must have bought my personal soldiers. Come on, push all these guys out and kill them!" Red Line immediately stopped him and said: "Don't blame the personal soldiers, I didn't buy anyone, it's my real ability. If you are not convinced, there are still two chances, you just need to hang the big seal on your neck, your neck is not a mole, right? See if I can steal it!" After Red Line finished speaking, he left the barracks and left.
Cheng Yaojin was careful this time. He wouldn't hang the big seal around his neck, but he didn't dare be careless. At night, he put the big seal on the table, moved a chair and sat next to it, drank and ate meat, and looked at the big seal. After a few glasses of wine, he secretly said, "Stinky girl!" In this way you can also steal my big seal? I asked you to pour a lifetime of foot wash water, which is really a good thing. For two nights in a row, the red line did not come, and Cheng Yaojin felt that she naturally did not dare to come. If she didn't come from now on, wouldn't it be a waste of making fun of her? He put his head on his hands and thought about it, and when he had an idea, he took out the big seal and hid it in another place, only placed the box containing the big seal on the table, and went to sleep in another tent. He pretended to be careless on the surface, but in fact there was a trap dug secretly next to the table. As long as the red thread goes to steal the seal, it must be caught. Taking a step back, even if he couldn't catch anyone, the stolen box was empty, and the red thread was still lost.
Cheng Yaojin was secretly proud of this clever plan, and he raised his pillow to sleep. After sleeping until midnight, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter from the red line outside the account: "Cheng Yaojin, do you think you can lure me into the bait by putting an empty box? You underestimate me too much. I'm sorry, you keep the box, but I can take the print away!"
Cheng Yaojin was taken aback, gritted his teeth, and cried, "This stinky woman, how did you see through my ingenious plan?" He hurriedly ran to the big tent of Tibetan Seal and smiled again. It turned out that the big seal was well placed there, and the red line was a bluff. Cheng Yaojin was proud and went back to sleep in the tent. Just as he lay down, a sharp bullet suddenly rose: "Oh, I've been fooled!" When he rushed to the big tent of Tibetan Seal, the big seal had long since disappeared, leaving only a note on it that read: "You have Li Dai Tao's plan to be stiff, and I have a way to ask for directions. Cheng Tie is awesome Cheng Tienniu, he is really stupid as an ox! Cheng Yaojin scolded: "Stinky girl, it's more cunning than a fox!" He was so angry that the seven orifices were smoking, and he tore the note into pieces.
The next day, Red Line came to the camp with the big seal and said with a smile or not: "You don't blame others this time, do you? There is another chance, if you can't watch it, you should give me the vanguard."
Cheng Yaojin's eyes were on fire, but he had nothing to say. He saw the red line proudly twist his little waist and go out. Cheng Yaojin scolded in his heart: "Stinky woman, look at me and give you a real one. Then, the soldiers ordered the vanguard seal to be hung on the tip of the flagpole in the camp, 50 steps away from the flagpole, surrounded by 100 archers on all sides, watching each other, no matter who approached the flagpole, just shoot arrows. This time Cheng Yaojin thought he was foolproof, unless he could fly through the clouds like a fairy. He drank enough wine, then "huhu" and fell asleep. He slept soundly, and the sergeant woke him up in a panic, saying that the seal had been stolen again. Cheng Yaojin didn't believe it, and when he looked under the flagpole, he couldn't close his mouth. I saw an iron feather arrow nailed to the flagpole, and a rope tied to the tail of the arrow. The rope stretched straight in the air, pulled far outside the barracks, and tied it to a big tree trunk. The red thread actually used this rope as a bridge and stole the seal.
Cheng Yaojin was angry, anxious and helpless, and when the red line came to the camp, he had to obediently give up the vanguard position. However, Cheng Yaojin still had a fluke mentality. This bet was just to raise his reputation and make a few taels of silver, not really to be a vanguard on his behalf and compete with Du Fuwei. Soldiers were fierce and dangerous, and they had no relatives and no reason, so why should they go to the battlefield to die on behalf of others? Who knew that the red line was real, put on the battlefield, and commanded the army to challenge. Seeing her coquettish voice and squeamish voice giving orders, the generals were embarrassed and responded, and Cheng Yaojin was so embarrassed that she rolled her eyes.
"General Cheng, my spies have reported that you lost the Pioneer Seal to a woman, but is that true?" Cheng Yaojin did not expect this matter to be heard by Du Fuwei, and his face was red, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, but he did not dare to answer a word. Du Fuwei said, "It seems that this is true?" After saying that, "Haha" laughed, and Cheng Yaojin was embarrassed.
At this moment, Red Line came out and said to Du Fuwei, "General Du, what are you laughing about? You are better than General Cheng? We might as well make a bet, and I will also steal the seal from your tent. If I lose, I will bring General Cheng and this army to you, and what if I win you?" Du Fuwei smiled contemptuously and said, "You steal the seal from my tent? If you really have this ability, I will raise the army to surrender to Li Shimin." After saying that, he looked at Cheng Yaojin, "I am afraid that you will lose, and you will not be the master of General Cheng." Red Line said, "Since General Cheng lost the vanguard seal to me, this vanguard army will naturally also lose to me. General Cheng is a man, so he said in front of the battle that he is willing to admit defeat! "Cheng Yaojin's face turned red and white, and he mustered up the courage to say loudly:" I lost to her, she can do whatever she wants! "Du Fuwei shouted:" Okay, bet! "Then they withdrew.
In fact, Cheng Yaojin had his own ideas. The three thieves of the red line, the vanguard seal, were elusive, and maybe they could really steal Du Fuwei's seal. Although Du Fuwei was a robber, he was the most serious promise, and he always spoke like a mountain. It would be a great credit to accept the Jianghuai army without a single soldier. If the red line were to lose, I would wipe my neck with a knife and pay for her life. No one could take the vanguard army away, so it would not be considered a defeat for the King of Qin. The red line made a bet with Du Fuwei, and immediately handed the vanguard seal to Cheng Yaojin's palm, choking him until he burped, and then left the camp. Who knew that the red line was gone, and there was no news for three consecutive days. Cheng Yaojin's sky collapsed and he was covered, and he never knew what it meant to be worried. These three days, he was full of thoughts. He was afraid that the red line would be captured, so he sent spies every day to spy on movements inside and outside the Dufuwei camp. Spies reported that Dufuwei's army was heavily guarded, and it was difficult for birds to cross. Cheng Yaojin really didn't feel good when he heard it.
On the morning of the fourth day, the red line suddenly came back, holding the handsome seal of Du Fuwei in his hand! Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately rushed to the front of Du Fuwei's army and showed the big seal. Du Fuwei was dejected, but he kept his promise and immediately ordered Jianghuai army to surrender to Li Shimin. As soon as Li Shimin's army arrived, he was overjoyed when he heard the news and gave Cheng Yaojin great credit.
Cheng Yaojin made a great contribution in a daze, and Li Shimin's subordinates were envious. Qi Zian praised him as a lucky general, and Cheng Yaojin himself was so happy that he couldn't knock on his front teeth. A few days later, there was an accident, and Li Shimin personally came to guarantee Hongqian's marriage to him. The red informant was beautiful and skilled, and he brought good luck to his husband without going through the door. Where could such a beautiful thing be found? Cheng Yaojin promised. Who knew that when Li Shimin took him to visit his father-in-law, he was stunned when he saw that the father-in-law was Du Fuwei. Seeing Cheng Yaojin's confused face, Du Fuwei said the reason with a haha, and he understood. It turned out that Du Fuwei had long had the heart to return to the Tang Dynasty, but his soldiers were arrogant and tough, and they surrendered without a fight. The generals must have resented civil strife, and the war went against their original intentions. At the moment of dilemma, just as the daughter of Red Line, who had just gone out to study art, came back to save relatives, so she came up with this chain plan for him. Red Line had the help of Du Fuwei, so naturally he won and did not lose. He raised his army and surrendered, and the generals had to submit. At that time, Cheng Yaojin was dumbfounded. Such a beautiful thing actually made me meet. Oldeng is really a lucky general.
