In Du Fuwei and He Panren's plan, He Panren originally led 30,000 troops to challenge Shan Xiongxin before the Wei army camp, and when the battle between the two armies reached a stalemate, Du Fuwei attacked the camp from behind, causing the Wei army to fall into chaos, and then used the advantage of the cavalry to charge into battle.

But the two didn't expect that just when they were calculating Shan Xiongxin, Shan Xiongxin also planned to annihilate the army of Wujiang Maple Valley today, push the war to Liyang County, and not let go of a single soldier to support Huainan Yaojunsu, so as to ensure Li Mi's absolute victory. So he used 50,000 troops at one time, leaving only 10,000 soldiers to stay in the camp.

Qi Gongshun was in charge of the camp east of the Yangtze River, before dawn, Shan Xiongxin led an army of 50,000 had already set out, and at that time, Du Fuwei's fleet had already docked at the foot of Liuhe Mountain, twenty miles ahead, and the army was disembarking.

This news made Du Fuwei very happy, He Panren came prepared, he was on the attacking side, even if he met head-on, he would not suffer a big loss, and he didn't need to inform him at all. So he decided to break the Wei army camp first, and then chase Shan Xiongxin from behind, so that the enemy army would fall into the dilemma of two breads, and the news of the loss of the camp would reach the Wei army, which would inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate, thus giving them a good opportunity to annihilate Shan Xiongxin.

It took about two hours for Shan Xiongxin to leave the camp, and when the sky was dark, he led a well-rested army of 30,000 to the Wei army camp.

Although Qi Gongshun is a generation of anti-kings, he does not have much talent, and the reason why he was able to create a huge momentum in Qingzhou before was completely the work of the brave and resourceful Liu Lancheng. In order to prevent the two from being together, Li Mi formed an uncontrolled force in the army, so he brought Liu Lancheng to his side, and Qi Gongshun, who lost Liu Lancheng, was really mediocre.

Qi Gongshun has no ambitions, is a small rich and peaceful person, very satisfied with the current prosperous and wealthy life, the former will to die has long been wiped out by years of comfortable life,. Not only did he not resist the task of guarding the camp given by Shan Xiongxin, but he was extremely happy.

When the chaotic camp entered calm again, he thought he was safe and went back to make up for sleep, as the so-called upward and downward effect, seeing that the main general was so comfortable, the generals and colonels under his command naturally followed suit, arranged the patrol army, and also went back to the camp to sleep.

However, the Wei army defending the camp led by Qi Gongshun never expected that not long after the main force left, Du Fuwei's army penetrated directly behind him and launched a fierce attack on the Wei army camp that had fallen into a dead silence.

These 10,000 defenders were busy and preparing for the expedition, and it can be said that they did not sleep all night, and they were all tired and fell asleep. When Du Fuwei attacked the camp, it was just when they were sleeping soundly.

Du Fuwei's army was well rested, their morale was high, and they had the advantage of numbers and surprise and unpreparedness, and soon annihilated the 10,000-strong army.

When Shan Xiongxin led an army of 30,000 to arrive, the battle had already ended, Du Fuwei's army had already withdrawn, and what appeared in front of Shan Xiongxin was the dead and wounded soldiers all over the ground, the painful moans of the wounded soldiers came and went, the blood stained the earth, the baggage had been burned, and the whole camp was full of smoke and fire.

Shan Xiongxin was so hateful that his teeth rattled, he slammed the lance into the soil, and scolded: "Du Fuwei, you can't die well!" ”

Anger to anger, hatred to hate.

But Shan Xiong was confident that he had failed, and the only way now was to withdraw to Quanjiao County as soon as possible, otherwise he would be in danger of being annihilated. At the same time, while treating the wounded, he sent people to inquire about Liu Heimin's news.

Soon got the news that Liu Heimin's entire army was annihilated and He Panren led the army to attack, and seeing that the army was panicked and exhausted, he had to lead the soldiers to retreat to the direction of Quanjiao.

However, Shan Xiongxin wanted to leave, but Du Fuwei quit.

He had long expected that once Shan Xiongxin returned to the flaming camp, he would definitely evacuate, so he had already laid an ambush in front, and when Shan Xiongxin entered the ambush circle, he waved his army and attacked fiercely, killing Shan Xiongxin's army to a rout.

When Shan Xiongxin retreated to Quanjiao County, he counted 60,000 troops after the war, but now, only 10,000 soldiers have successfully escaped from the predicament. He knew that some of the soldiers lost were killed by the Sui army and some were captured, but many more of them fled into the wilderness and became deserters. If such a record is spread, his so-called No. 1 general of Great Wei will also become a laughing stock.

The most important thing is that Du Fuwei and He Panren's soldiers are already in the city, and Shan Xiongxin is not allowed to have the slightest respite, except for bitterness in his heart, there is no other way than to deploy soldiers to defend as soon as possible.

The only thing he can do now is to contain Du Fuwei's army under Quanjiao City, hoping that Li Mi will annihilate Yao Junsu as soon as possible, and divide a part of the army to support him before occupying Huainan, Lujiang, and Liyang.

。。。。。。。

It's March now, and no matter where in the world, it's in the spring season. Huainan County has also entered a moment of vitality, Huainan County is located on the south bank of Huaishui, the upper reaches of Huaishui.

Huainan County was known as Jiujiang in ancient times, and it has an early development history and is an important place. In the Xia and Shang periods, it belonged to the domain of Jing and Yang, and in the Spring and Autumn period, it belonged to the west of Wu and the east of Chu, so it was called "Wu head and Chu tail". It first appeared in the Qin Dynasty as an administrative division, Qin Shi Huang divided the world into 36 counties and set up Jiujiang County, due to historical changes, there are Huainan Kingdom, Yanping, Chaisang, Huainan County and other names.

After the Great Sui unified the world, after hundreds of years of chaos, there were 241 prefectures, 680 counties, and 1,524 counties in the world, one of which generally only governed one to three counties. Faced with this situation, Emperor Wen of Sui adopted the suggestion of "saving to be idle, and removing the big from the small" put forward by Yang Shangxi, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and streamlined the chaotic local government system from three to two levels, abolished more than 500 counties in one go, and eliminated a large number of redundant officials.

Compared with those states and counties that were merged, the problem of Huainan is that its size is too large, and it has jurisdiction over Henan, Anhui, and Jiangxi in its heyday, so when it was revoked and merged, it was castrated, and there are only four counties of Shouchun, Anfeng, Huoqiu, and Changping.

In addition to the Huainan County from the north to the east flow of Huaishui, there are also from the south of Lujiang County, and finally into the Huaishui water, Feishui, these two rivers, from the south to the north of the Huainan County is divided into three parts, in the territory of the earliest large-scale water diversion irrigation project in human history - Shaobei.

During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, the long history of Zhao Liang repaired Shaobi again, he drained the tributaries, injected into Shaobei, irrigated tens of thousands of hectares of fertile fields, and strengthened the embankment outside Shaobi to prepare for floods, and changed the original five discharge gates to 36. This is a great development for the irrigation project in Huainan. As a result of his dredging of waterways and the expansion of Shaobei, the irrigated area of Huainan reached the highest level in history.

At present, although it is only reduced to a small county, the geographical location of Huainan County is very important, since ancient times it is a place where soldiers must fight, it is the hub of the Jianghuai land north of the Central Plains and Jingxiang in the west, and it is also the strategic bridgehead of the Central Plains to the south of Jianghuai.

Huainan County is governed by Shouchun County, and with the surrender of Du Fuwei, it has become the land of the Great Sui, and the 40,000 Sui soldiers from the Xiao Milling Army in the territory are led by the general Yao Junsu.

In this battle with the Sui army, Li Mi, who led an army of 100,000 troops to the west, led himself to conquer the generalissimo of the west, which meant that he was not only defensive, but a large-scale battle to expand the territory to the west.

On the eve of the Sui army's imminent all-out attack on the Tang Dynasty, this western expedition is a desperate battle for him Li Mi, if he can successfully annihilate Yao Junsu and Du Fuwei of Liyang in the south, then he will completely occupy the land of Jianghuai, and then negotiate with the Sui Dynasty to cede the seven counties of Huaibei to Yang Tong It doesn't matter, as long as Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji retreat south, he can rely on a large number of troops to consolidate the Huaishui defense line, and the Sui Dynasty to divide the Huaishui and rule, this is the true intention of Li Mi's expedition to the west.

After raising troops from Zhongli County in the east, he immediately launched a fierce offensive against the Sui army camp at the southern foot of Bagong Mountain, the base of the Wei army was more than 100,000 people, while Yao Junsu had only 40,000 soldiers.

The two sides fought for many days and suffered losses from each other.

The loss of a few thousand people has little impact on the Wei army, which has a large number of soldiers and generals, but although Yao Junsu has advanced and sharp weapons and equipment, but this army is not strong in combat strength and morale, and after losing thousands of people, the morale is plummeting, if it continues to fight, his army will have to collapse, so after Yao Junsu tested the combat effectiveness of the two armies, he no longer launched an attack, but relied on the strength of the barracks and the advantages of weapons and equipment, and could not hold out, so that the Wei army could fight in the way of attacking fortifications, as long as Li Mi's sharp spirit was defeated, then, The morale of their own soldiers slowly rose during the battle, and they were no longer afraid of the Wei army, which was attacking on a large scale, while the Wei army, on the contrary, would slowly fall into a state of decline.

The Wei army camp is stationed in the east of Bagong Mountain, far away from the Sui army, the whole army camp stretches for thirty or forty miles, the momentum is huge and magnificent, the tents are one after another, and they are increasing every day, creating a state of continuous increase in the Wei army, exerting psychological pressure on the Sui army.

This is Li Mi's strategy to increase the foci of Fang Xuanzao, he only has an army of 120,000, but he has put on the size and momentum of an army of 200,000, which has caused great pressure on the condescending Sui army, making the Sui army's morale low and panicked. Even Yao Junsu can see that he can't change the situation of few soldiers, nor can he change the will of the Sui army, which is already afraid of war; If you want to change, you can't change it to the Great Sui's Hundred Battles Hero.

Of course, Li Mi, who has an absolute advantage, is not easy, as a generation of heroes, he knows that the advantages of a place cannot change the overall situation of Sui being strong and Wei weak, once the Sui army comes to its senses and sends the main battle division to fight, then his Wei State will fall into an extremely unfavorable situation. The plan for today is to give full play to the advantage of troops, annihilate Yao Junsu before the main battle division of the Great Sui launches an offensive, and then divide the troops into three routes.

Continuing all the way to the west, they occupied the two counties of Yiyang and Yiyang, which were empty of troops, and threatened the Huai'an Sui army and the Handong Sui army that confronted Chungling.

went all the way south to occupy the western part of Lujiang County, pushing the momentum to the intersection of Yong'an, Qichun, and Tong'an.

The other way is to occupy the eastern part of the Lujiang River, kill Liyang County, and attack Du Fuwei with Shan Xiongxin, and completely annihilate it.

But in order to realize this strategy, we must first annihilate Yao Junsu, the roadblocker, but this good guard did not live up to Yang Tong's trust, he was always as stable as Mount Tai under the onslaught of the Wei army day and night.

Seeing that time was being consumed little by little, Li Mi, who had never been able to take the Sui army camp, was naturally anxious.

At this time, in the big tent of the Wei army, Li Mi was discussing countermeasures with many civil and military forces.

He pointed to the direction of Huai'an on the map with a wooden pole, and said in a heavy voice: "Huai'an is in the 200,000 Sui army, and the main general will be Li Jing, the military secretary of the Sui Dynasty. ”

Speaking of this, the wooden pole in his hand pointed at Runan again, and then said: "Runan County is currently controlled by the Sui Dynasty, and the Sui army on Li Jing's side can bypass Huaishui and pass through the official road without worries, passing through Yiyang and Yiyang, and going directly to Huainan." With the advantage of the cavalry of the Sui Dynasty, it will not take a few days to arrive, so there is not much time left for us to annihilate Yao Junsu. ”

The hearts of the people were awe-inspiring.

"The Holy Lord's words are extremely true, but our chances of annihilating Yao Junsu are still very great." Fang Xuanzao stood up and continued: "After attacking the camp day and night in the past few days, Yao Junsu has suffered great losses, and the reason why he has persevered until now is completely dependent on the benefits of the bow and crossbow. But up to now, the Sui army's morale, physical strength and strength have been seriously weakened, and they can't hold out for long. As long as it is annihilated here, then the land of Jianghuai will be ours. According to the information we have obtained, Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has launched a fierce offensive against Nanjun from the Yiling side, and the Sui army led by Duan Decao is still composed of Xiao's army, and they are not doing well, and Qin Qiong on the Jiangxia side has to send troops to help. If we can completely eliminate Yao Junsu, we will be able to occupy the two counties of Yiyang and Yiyang, which are empty of troops, deter Huai'an and Runan from the south, and deter the land of Jingxiang from the east, so that we can destroy the enemy in the west and realize the strategy of dividing the river and ruling the country. ”

Li Mi nodded, "That's right. We must not focus on the established strategy and carry it out rigidly, but we must proceed from the overall situation and change our tactics in a timely manner. We have wasted a relatively long time here, and it has become unrealistic to quickly annihilate Yao Junsu and Du Fuwei, but as long as we reach Yiyang and contain Li Jing to the north of Huaishui, then when we come to deal with Du Fuwei again, we will not have to worry about something happening in the west. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mi asked Fang Xuanzao: "Do you think that Mr. Jingzhou will send troops to help Yao Junsu?" ”

Fang Xuanzao sighed, "This is also what Weichen is worried about, if the Sui army of Jingzhou sends troops, it will also be the Sui army of Anlu County defending the Tang army of Jingling, or the Qin Qiong army of Jiangxia." However, according to the minister's opinion, it is more likely that An Lu will send troops to Jiangxia. ”

"What is the reason for the sir?" Li Mi asked.

"If Qin Qiong sends troops, he can only land at the intersection of Lujiang and Liyang, and then go north by land to support Huainan, in terms of time, it is even longer than An Lu; And the Anlu Sui army is the main battle division of the Sui Dynasty, from Anlu to Huainan are all land routes, although it is relatively far, but the advantage of the Sui Dynasty is cavalry, I think they will not give up their advantages and let the naval army mainly Qin Qiong send troops. ”

Fang Xuanzao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, whether it is Jingzhou's additional troops or Li Jing's support, our troops are a little powerless, so Weichen suggested that we go to war as soon as possible to defeat Yao Junsu before the Sui Dynasty's reinforcements arrive, so that the situation can be broken." At that time, the Sui army had several times more places to defend, and it would be in an absolute defensive position, and they would not be able to launch an offensive at all until the overall situation was stabilized. ”

"Sir's words are reasonable, then we will attack Yao Junsu today."

Li Mi immediately stood down, looked at the generals below, and Huo Ran ordered: "Pass on my order, the army will take turns to storm the Sui army camp!" Even if you are beaten into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, you must slaughter this roadblocker. ”

"The last general obeys!" The generals responded with a bang.

"The division that takes the lead in breaking the camp, all the generals will be promoted to one level, and the ordinary soldiers will be rewarded with one year, and those who will be beheaded by Yao Junsu will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 taels and the duke of the country."

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and under the encouragement of officials and money, the generals in the tent are high-spirited.
