Yang Tong did not stay in Jiangdu City for too long, only stayed for one morning, and then led the Shurawei, Xuanjia army, and Xiaoguo army to the north, preparing to converge with Yao Junsu and Du Fuwei, and annihilate Li Mi Zhongli County. Galloping all the way, arriving at the north Quting Mountain of Qingliu County at the twilight of the next day, only need to walk for another two or three hours, and enter Dingyuan County in the south of Zhongli County, seeing that the time will be dark, so he set up camp on the bank of the Wuyi River.

More than 45,000 people set up a large camp in a flat and open land, because the main force of Xue Wanche and Du Fuwei was about to join the division, so the camp was very large, enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people. The barracks were marching camps that could be quickly dismantled, so no fences were erected, but ravines were dug in front of the camp, antlers and thistles were planted, and watchtowers were erected every fifty paces.

Thousands of large tents are stationed in a six-flower formation, and the tents are neat and orderly, and every detail is meticulous. This is also the reason why the Yan army produces good generals, the Great Sui is strict in governing the army, the rewards and punishments are clear, and every strict military order is imperceptibly affecting the generals in the army.

Soon.

Xue Wanche and Du Fuwei led the army to station.

After arranging the army, more than a dozen generals came to the Chinese army's tent with armor and swords hanging from their waists to hand over the order, and paid homage: "The last general Xue Wanche/Du Fuwei/He Panren/Gao Yan/Kan Ling...... See Holy Lord. ”

"The generals have worked hard, so sit down." Yang Tong said with a smile.

"Thank you."

"General Du led the 11th Army, which annihilated more than 40,000 enemies in Xiang'an last year, which frustrated Li Mi's eastward advance, and broke the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation with Me, pushed the troops to the intersection of Liyang and Jiangdu, and contained Shan Xiongxin's 60,000 army. A few days ago, he broke Shan Xiongxin again, and made great contributions to the capture of Jiangyangcang and Jiangdu City, breaking more than 100,000 enemies before and after, worthy of being the tiger of Jianghuai. If Li Mi's regime is destroyed, the general should be the first to take credit. ”

"The last general is ashamed." Hearing Yang Tong's high praise, a trace of excitement flashed on Du Fuwei's face.

"I am only a general's merit, not an honor. Honor is this 'heavenly prison knife'. Yang Tong asked Yin Mingyue to take out a treasure knife and said to Du Fuwei: "I asked the famous craftsman to cast thirty-six swords from the iron of the sky, calling them 'Thirty-six Potentials', each named after the Thirty-six Tiangang. On the day of his accession to the throne, the 'Thirty Potentials' had been rewarded to the civil and military forces who had made great contributions, and only the 'Six Potentials' remained. Since General Du was in Jianghuai, Li Miru was a prisoner in prison and couldn't move, so I gave General Du the 'Heavenly Prison Knife' today to show his glory. ”

Yang Tong took the Heavenly Prison Knife and looked at Du Fuwei with a smile.

In the midst of applause and cheers, Du Fuwei strode forward, gave a deep salute, took the Heavenly Prison Knife with both hands, and said excitedly: "The last general thanks the Holy God for the knife." ”

He held the knife in both hands, retreated a few feet, and then faced everyone, slowly pulled out the sword, only to see that the blade was as black as ink, decorated with the Big Dipper, cold and very sharp, attracting countless envious eyes.

Du Fuwei was a person who had been a thief, and he and Fu Gongqi led successive defeats to Sui generals Song Hao, Gongsun Shangzhe, Chen Ling, etc., and occupied the vast area of Jianghuai. After surrendering to Yang Tong, he has always felt uneasy and worried because of Fu Gongyi's warnings before his death. Today, Yang Tong gave him a knife in public, undoubtedly classifying him as a 'founding hero' and a confidant, and a shadow in his heart was also erased, only silently moved and excited.

"Holy." Xue Wanche got up and said ashamedly: "Quanjiao City is broken, Sheng Yanshi has fled, Shan Xiongxin is dead, and the last general will not be able to catch him." ”

Yang Tong naturally knew that the county town of Quanjiao had been broken, otherwise they would not have led the main division here, because he had traveled so far, but he still didn't know the news that Shan Xiongxin had died, and asked in surprise: "Committed suicide?" ”

"It's not!"

Xue Wanche, Du Fuwei, He Panren, Gao Yan, Kan Ling, Bing Yuanzhen and others showed strange expressions on their faces.

"How did that die?" Yang Tong was even more curious.

"According to the captives, Shan Xiongxin was trying to escape from the city to join Li Mi, and sent his own soldiers in the city to other places, asking them to inform Sheng Yanshi and other generals, resulting in no personal guards around him, and then several women fell off the city." Xue Wanche explained the cause and effect of the matter.

"I see." Listening to Xue Wanche's statement, Yang Tong already knew about the bestiality of the Wei army in Quanjiao County, and sneered: "I originally thought that Shan Xiongxin was a generation of heroes who fought for righteousness and squandered money, and was anxious for justice and righteousness, and wanted to spare his life, but I never expected that he would set up troops to become bandits and harm the place; He really deserved to die at the hands of a humiliated woman. It's a pity that none of the eight innocent women survived. ”

"Holy Lord, the last general will give a hundred taels of gold to the families of these martyrs from the captured booty." Duvowe said.

"Well done." Yang Tong nodded, and said to Du Ruhui: "Keming, the Ministry of Gifts will record the deeds of these eight martyrs who helped me win the Great Sui, and include them in the "Biography of the Martyrs" of this dynasty, and build a martyr in Quanjiao County, some things don't need to be too detailed......"

"Wechen understands." Du Ruyan responded.

When Bing Yuanzhen heard this, he couldn't help but mourn silently for Shan Xiongxin, after such an operation by the Imperial Court Rite Department: Shan Xiongxin's arson is a disaster place, and the eight women eliminate harm for the people, slaughter the enemy chieftain, and help the army break the city's feat and reputation will be passed on, as for Shan Xiongxin as the opposite, how good can the reputation be?

"General Du, how many soldiers and horses did you bring?"

"Returning to the Holy Lord, the last general left 5,000 soldiers in Quanjiao to guard the wounded soldiers and prisoners, and sent 20,000 troops along the official road to Lujiang Shen County in the four departments, not only to prevent Li Mi from entering the country, but also to threaten Zhongli Dingyuan from the south to share part of the pressure on General Yao. One by one, only 20,000 people arrived. ”

"The six battalions of the Xiaoguo Army and the Xuanjia Army of the First Army, as well as the 20,000 people brought by General Du, a total of more than 80,000 people, plus the 20,000 of General Yao and Shenxian, our troops are quite sufficient."

Hearing Yang Tong say this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Isn't this just a sufficiency of troops? directly surpassed Li Mi, and the combat effectiveness and combat will were in a crushing position, at this moment, everyone had a feeling of killing chickens and using cattle slaughtering knives.

"General Du, our army will go north to Zhongli tomorrow, do you want to rest?"

"Holy Lord, the last general and the soldiers have no problem with their physical strength at all, they only need to rest for one night, and they will be able to go into battle tomorrow."

"Good!" Yang Tong said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, you can talk about our combat deployment. ”

"Whoa." Fang Xuanling responded, and introduced to the generals: "Zhongli has four counties, the first thing we have to take is Dingyuan County, which is in front of us, Dingyuan is a big county, more than 20 miles around the city, the wall is three zhang high, there were 10,000 defenders, and a day ago, more than 20,000 people were reinforced from Huaming County and Zhongli County. After hearing the news of the loss of Jiangdu, the defenders of Jiangdu Xuyi and Duliang Xinggong also retreated to Dingyuan. In other words, the number of troops in Dingyuan is not less than 40,000, and if we attack Dingyuan, which has a large number of troops, we will suffer great losses. ”

"Fang Shangshu, don't we have siege equipment such as catapults and bed crossbows?" Xue Wanche asked.

"What the general said is good. But the chief general of Dingyuan is Li Mi's henchman Liu Lancheng, although this person is unknown, but he is bold and careful, calm and resourceful, rigorous in governing the army, and has a very high prestige in the army, and is a rare good general. If it is a strong attack, I am afraid that it will cause great losses to our army, and it will not be worth it. Fang Xuanling said.

"Then lure him out of the city and fight head-on." Kan Ling said.

"Are you stupid?" When Du Fuwei heard Yizi say this, he had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, and glared at Kan Ling and said: "Li Mi has fallen to this point, the Wei army's hearts are fluctuating, and it is impossible for Liu Lancheng to go out of the city to fight." ”

"Not necessarily." Yang Tong shook his head and said, "I think what General Kan said has some truth. ”

"Huh?" Du Fuwei was stunned, he could reprimand Kan Ling, but not Yang Dong, not only because the other party was the emperor, but also because he was the god of the Great Sui Army and the god of war; With his series of glorious achievements alone, no one could ignore his opinion, so he said respectfully: "Please make it clear to the Holy Lord." ”

Yang Tong didn't answer and asked, "General Du, does you know where my Great Sui army is stronger than the enemy?" ”

Du Fuwei was stunned, thought for a while, and hesitated: "Is it the iron horse that dominates the world?" ”

Yang Tong shook his head and said: "My Great Sui cavalry is invincible in the north, in addition to the brave and good soldiers, there are also wildernesses for battle. However, in the south and Bashu and other regions, there are really not many plains for cavalry to play. In Bashu, where the mountains are towering, and in the south, where the water network is crisscrossed, the role of cavalry is far inferior to that of foot soldiers and navy. ”

"Is it a strong national force?" Duvowe asked.

"It's intelligence." Yang Tong said with a smile: "Combat intelligence with the enemy is the first, only by knowing oneself and knowing the other can we win a hundred battles." We're pretty good at that. We have detailed records of the leaders of various forces, civil and military officials, from their life deeds to their positions, and even their emotional lives. This Liu Lancheng is both civil and military, bold and careful, calm and resourceful, and has the posture of a good general. Among Li Mi's forces, I am afraid that only Li Mi, Xu Shiji, and Fang Xuanzao surpass him, and the abilities of Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, and Sheng Yanshi are far inferior, if he hadn't joined Wagang too late, his status would have surpassed them long ago. ”

"Each general has his own fighting style, his own philosophy of fighting, albeit impermanence. But a person's fighting style is not easy to change. I am like this, and so are the pharmacists, Shubao, Wei Chi, Lao Niu, Wan Che and others. General Du is good at using his personality charm to gather soldiers and generals together, form a powerful group, use the terrain to constantly look for fighters, once he finds an opportunity, he will think of leading a small force to sneak attack several times his own strong enemy, in order to obtain the greatest benefits, dare to take risks, bold and domineering, if the enemy grasps General Du's style, he will deliberately expose flaws, give you the opportunity to sneak attack. ”

After listening to Yang Tong's analysis, Du Fuwei carefully reviewed his experience of leading troops, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and secretly glad that he had not fought with the Sui army, otherwise, the general of the Sui army could use the combat style to lay a bait and lure himself into being fooled.

Yang Tong continued: "This Liu Lancheng's style is very similar to General Du, from the day he faced Qi Gongshun, he likes to take risks, and fights big with small. In his style, he definitely won't sit still. ”

"Did the Holy One say that he would come and attack tonight?" Du Fuwei understood what Yang Dong meant.

"Exactly!" Yang Tong nodded and said: "There are four reasons for me: first, he has a lot of troops in his hands, and he has the conditions to send troops to attack; Secondly, the defeat of Shan Xiongxin let him know that our army's siege equipment is extremely sharp, and if our army is allowed to attack the city, his fluctuating army will not be able to defend the city at all; Thirdly, he urgently needs a victory to boost his morale, but he can't win the battle to defend the city, and he is not the opponent of our army in a head-to-head duel, so the only way is to attack our army tonight; Fourth, we create the conditions for him to sneak attack, and as long as he thinks we are careless, then he will come. ”

"What if he doesn't come?" Yang Qinfang on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Unless he doesn't want to win." Yang Tong smiled: "Jiangdu is the only capital of my Great Sui in the south, and now it has finally recovered." Everyone in our army has merits, and it is rare for them to learn here today. The order went down, and tonight he was in the camp to celebrate. but also for the next war. ”

"Whoa."

The generals got up one after another and went to the barracks to announce the decision of the Holy One.

In a few moments, there was a deafening cheer from within the camp.

……

At nightfall.

Piles of bonfires were lit in the camp of the Sui army, Yang Tong ordered to kill crossbow horses and slaughter sheep, in order to reward the three armies, the soldiers of the whole army were thunderous, the barbecue on the bonfire, the aroma was overflowing, the firelight reflected the faces of the soldiers who were full of joy, a jar of wine was opened, the joy of victory was filled with the air above the camp of the Sui army, the fire and the sound of cheers spread for several miles.
