In front of the luscious fruits of victory, Li Po patiently waited until dawn before ordering Wei Chixin and Yuwen Wok to lead the troops forward and enter the Tang army camp. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Henan army was in a commotion, but soon calmed down, they nervously held their swords and guns, and carefully observed this group of enemies who seemed to be extremely strange to them from beginning to end.

After a night of fighting, the Henan army was exhausted, and they slowly retreated like waves, revealing the Kwantan army surrounded in the middle.

It's over, it's all over.

The voice of persuasion to surrender sounded in the camp where more than 100,000 Tang troops were stationed, whether it was the Henan army or the Guanxi army, they all laid down their weapons one after another under the orders of the generals, knelt on the ground and asked for surrender, and the courage to resist had long been exhausted in that nightmarish day and night.

Of course, the most important thing is that the generals who led them did not have the determination and will to die here.

And on behalf of the infantry of the army, they began to collect the prisoners and count the captured baggage.

On this day, from the Tang army camp to the outside of the Bird Mouse Valley, within a range of seventy or eighty miles, those who abandoned their weapons were spared death, and those who fell to the ground did not kill one after another.

The parallel cavalry, which came and went, drove back a large group of Tang army soldiers like sheep.

A great victory, this is destined to be an unprecedented military victory for the army of the same generation, they defeated the Tang army of more than 200,000 horses in these three months, almost swept away Li Tang's soldiers and horses in Jindi.

In the face of such a brilliant victory, Li Po also showed a bright smile on his face that he had not seen for a long time, this time naturally no one offended him again, before such a big victory, he was also open-minded.

The feeling of the world's heroes who are competing with each other is enough to make any man intoxicated.

The capture was more and more, and the captured Tang soldiers soon exceeded 100,000 people, and the weight of the captured grain and grass was clear, and it was estimated that it would take a day.

There are more than 20 generals in the Tang army, and they have been escorted to the infantry army one after another, among which there are several assassins in the states of Hedong, plus generals such as Sima Shenjun, which accounts for more than half of them, and the other is the Kansai generals from Li Shentong and Jiang Baoyi.

One after another, prominent Kansai surnames appeared in Li Po's ears one after another.

And Li Po was not in a hurry to see these defeated generals, so in addition to obtaining some psychological satisfaction, it was of little use to the current situation.

He just asked these captives to escort back to Jinyang, and left Xue Wanjun to lead the army to guard and surrender the prisoners.

This is Li Po's acquaintance, it is the original Ma Yi Gongcao who joined the army, and now the Eagle Yang Lang general Li Dingfang, Li Jing's nephew, and Li Po are still related.

This one does not need to be mentioned, Li Jing has never soared, and Li Duan, who is attached to the Yuwen family, has not been deprived of his title and returned home to retire, Li Dingfang is not considered to be prosperous in Yingyang Mansion, but he has also been steadily promoted.

Now follow Li Shentong to Jindi to conquer Li Po, it is something that Li Dingfang can't ask for, and he came here after scrambling, plus he used to live in Gongcao, Mayi, and is more familiar with the northern part of Jindi, so it is logical for him to come with the army.

As for what relatives are not relatives, the Li brothers have been against each other for a long time, and they have long been out of contact with each other, and even when Li Jing was living in Chang'an, Li Dingfang and others still wanted to kill him, and even Li Yuan had heard of these things, not to mention others.

Otherwise, Li Shentong would not have handed over Jiexiu to Li Dingfang to garrison.

For Li Dingfang, he would never have thought that the little homeless man who was whipped by him that day would ride the wind in the border of Mayi and become one of the princes of the world in less than ten years.

What is even more unexpected is that he came with the army and did not catch and humiliate this chaotic minister and thief, not to mention that the army of more than 200,000 people was defeated in a battle.

Of course, there are some things that people like him can't figure out......

Speaking of which, Li Dingfang saw the opportunity quite quickly, when Xue Wanjun and Wang Zhibi came at night and wanted to besiege Jinyang, he already felt extremely bad, the news of the army had been cut off for many days, but at this time it was a group of enemy cavalry.

Not only him, but others were also shocked.

It was not Li Dingfang who fled first, but a leading military captain from the party, fortunately, no one thought of offering the city, otherwise, a Kansai general like Li Dingfang must be the best gift they gave to the enemy.

And the army's heart is in turmoil, with Li Dingfang's prestige and talent, there is nothing to be done, he and Pei Lin are similar, they are both here to get credit, and by the way, they may be able to take the opportunity to avenge their personal revenge, and they don't have much heart to kill the enemy.

So the result can be imagined.

Li Dingfang also wanted to see the situation and then say, abandoning the city and fleeing was a serious crime after all, if the army in front of him was okay, he would just throw Jiexiu and run away, and after he went back, he would be charged with beheading, and maybe it would affect the family.

But some people fled first, and under the unstable heart of the army in the city, the 1,000 Kwanti troops under his command were also panicked.

Seeing that the city was becoming more and more unstable, Li Dingfang was afraid, and in the second half of the night, the rout of the rear army of the Tang Army finally came to Jiexiu one after another.

Xue Wanche and Wang Zhibi outside the city were not in a hurry, the Tang army's rout was a foregone conclusion, and they couldn't chase these scattered fugitives all over the mountains at night.

At this time, in fact, two people missed a big fish.

Pei Lian, who had already abandoned his war horse and taken off his battle robe, was guarded by more than a dozen personal soldiers, passed by Jiexiu miserably, and fled in the direction of the Bird Mouse Valley.

As a result, for the first time, Jiexiu received an accurate battle report in the city, and the army may have been defeated.

Li Dingfang was already frightened, and when he heard such news, he immediately led his henchmen out of Xicheng at night and threw Jiexiu behind.

At this time, the so-called Jiexiu defenders were already divided, and Li Shentong's so-called advance and retreat could be defended looked like a living joke at this time.

Even if the army is not defeated, the news has been cut off for a long time, and a large group of enemy troops are coming, it will cause unparalleled psychological pressure on the Tang army left behind.

The Tang Army's back road seems to be dangerous, but it is actually weak and vulnerable.

By the time Li Po led the army to Jiexiu, the sun, moon and star flags had already fluttered at the head of Jiexiu City again.

Xue Wanche and Wang Zhibi led the army to chase to the north entrance of the Bird Mouse Valley, and collected more than 1,000 captured and surrendered soldiers, so they stopped outside the Bird Mouse Valley and confronted Pei Shiqing's troops stationed in the Bird Mouse Valley.

Nearly 100,000 troops gathered in Jiexiu again.

This is a real victorious army, with morale high as if it could break through the sky.

Li Pochuan ordered the army to rest for a day in Jiexiu, and the whole army thundered with joy, and the battle for March was finally a great victory, and the joy that had been suppressed for a long time erupted like a volcano.

On this night, the bonfire outside Jiexiu City was everywhere, the wine and meat were fragrant, and the barracks were filled with the smell of joy everywhere.

The soldiers who have been drinking alcohol in the army for a long time drink heartily......

But Li Po did not feast on the generals in Jiexiu City, because in his opinion, the war was not over yet, and although the fruits of victory were sweet and sweet, more fruits still needed to be picked by him.

Because the fundamental goal of this battle is not to defeat Li Tang's army, just like many wars, for a commander, the war itself is of little significance, and the goals that need to be achieved in the war are always outside the battlefield.

And the purpose of most wars is actually not much different, territory, only more territory and more population is the ultimate goal.

Amid the cheers of the army, Li Po's gaze had already turned to the Bird Mouse Valley......

After the Bird Mouse Valley is Linfen County, and behind it is the old nest Jiang County of the Pei family in Hedong, which is the only way to the two states of the two dynasties.

And the broader world has also opened its arms to the two states.

To the west is Shangdang, and to the south is to reach the banks of the Yellow River, and the route taken by Li Yuan when he raised his army is very clear.

In fact, at this time, Li Po was thinking about where the soldiers of the army should stop this year, and the empty southeast of the river had been placed in front of him like a tempting cake, but it was destined to be mixed with some sand.

How to pick out the sand, or swallow it raw, is the problem that Li Po needs to think about.

This night, Li Po still didn't sleep much, and after the joy of the big victory gradually faded, he rubbed his forehead and looked at the railing in front of the window, and one by one quite troublesome choices began to emerge and gradually became clear.

This is undoubtedly a rather annoying cycle, and it may be experienced many times later, even endlessly, and for him now, the joy of victory is too short-lived, because with each victory, the burden on his shoulders seems to be a little heavier......

(Hehe, Ah Cao thinks he is a relatively peaceful person, there is no regional or racial discrimination, Ah Cao just built a background of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and when he wrote it, everyone had to conform to this background setting.)

In Ah Cao's pen, the gate lord clan has their shortcomings, and the same is true of the peasant rebels, Ah Cao is just seriously writing a wonderful story, and has no intention of targeting anyone.

The wealthy family and the people at the bottom constitute the main body of this troubled world, are they hateful in Ah Cao's pen? In fact, Ah Cao is just narrating the causes and process of this troubled world, and each character must conform to their identity and origin.

Is the main character good? This is also not the case, everyone in Ah Cao's pen who has set off wars in the troubled times and sought to survive has its dark and cold side.

So there's no need to dwell on these, this is just a story, as long as each character can be portrayed clearly, Ah Cao will not care what history says about them, in Ah Cao's story, they are like this.

Hehe, everyone in Henan, I'm sorry. (To be continued.) )
