After Gao Shixing thought for a long time, Fang Shen said: "Now Gao has two strategies for King Xia to consider. The first is to enter Shandong to the east, destroy Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang, and use this as a base to develop again. Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang are both ambitious and talented people, and their combat effectiveness is far weaker than that of our Hebei army. Defeat it should be a no-brainer. It's a sound plan. ”

"The second strategy is to continue to attack Yuming's rear army, where there is not only the Liaodong Army's grain and grass, but also hope to capture Yu Yuqing and Red Sleeves, the two female generals, Yu Yuqing is Yu Ming's sister, Red Sleeves is Yu Ming's wife, the two women are very important to the Liaodong Army, we can use them as bargaining chips, negotiate with Yu Ming, and force him to retreat. There are pros and cons to both strategies. How to choose, please let King Xia decide! ”

After hearing this, everyone also showed a solemn expression. Shandong has always been a place where Dou Jiande tried to get his hands on it. He also did a lot of work for this purpose, and laid a lot of ambushes and meticulous work. And Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang are indeed unambitious, and they have rebelled for six or seven years, but there is still no improvement. The Hebei Army may not be able to deal with the Liaodong Army, but it is not a problem to deal with Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang, and it is also a feasible plan to retreat into Shandong. It's just that he retreated like this and handed over his territory to others, for these generals of the Xia Army who lived in Hebei, they were always a little unwilling.

It is also a dangerous move to attack Yuming's rear army. Although Yu Yuqing and Red Sleeves are women, they must not be underestimated. Otherwise, how could Yu Ming rest assured that he would hand over the grain and grass to them for escort. Most of the generals of the Hebei army knew about Yuming's rise experience, and none of them thought that Yuming was the kind of person who was nepotistic and arrogant. If he was really this kind of person, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to develop to the point where he is today.

Everyone looked at Dou Jiande at this time, looking forward to his decision.

"Brothers, I've already thought about it!" After Dou Jiande pondered for a moment, Fang said solemnly: "Dou has decided to adopt the second strategy that Gao Junshi said and launch an attack on Yuming's rear army!" ”

"Ahh King Xia, it's very risky to do this! In case we can't attack for a long time, and Leshou and Hejian are broken by the enemy, we will be surrounded by the enemy! Ling Jing reminded with some concern.

This time it set up an ambush in the river, and the Hebei army can be said to have made full preparations, gathering 180,000 troops and attacking 60,000 Youzhou troops, all of which lost nearly 100,000 people. Now the Hebei Army can still fight more than 80,000 people, and it is not easy to defeat the Liaodong Army that is still above the Youzhou Army on the side of the battle. And the enemy may come to reinforcements at any time.

"Brother Ling, if we can't even win the Wanliao Eastern Army, even if we retreat to Shandong, we will be annihilated by them in the future!" Dou Jiande got up at this time and said: "Instead of waiting until then to surrender, it is better to fight vigorously now!" I don't believe it, our 80,000 Hebei heroes can't defeat the 10,000 Liaodong Army! ”

After everyone heard this, they were also inspired to have the courage in their chests, and they all bowed down and saluted: "Follow the orders of King Xia!" ”

"Good! Now I give the order to march immediately and strive to kill the Liaodong Army by surprise! Dou Jiande said angrily.

……

Two days later, the 80,000 Hebei Army had already driven to a mountain forest in Renqiu County, ten miles away from them was the rear army camp of the Liaodong Army, which was the storage place of the grain and grass of the 200,000 Liaodong Army, and more than 10,000 people were stationed for defense, and the guard was tight. Not only have fences been built around the camp, but there are also small watchtowers every ten zhang, which is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack.

However, the Hebei army was also very well prepared, not only did they move heavy siege equipment such as trebuchets and siege vehicles that are usually used during the siege, but also because they routed Luo Yi's troops and captured the armor and weapons of the Youzhou army. Today's Hebei Army can be said to be a shotgun for artillery, and its equipment is much better than in the past.

Dou Jiande did not attack immediately, but let his 80,000 infantry sleep comfortably.

Early the next morning, after the whole army had breakfast, he ordered to start an attack on the camp of the Liaodong Army, first to test the enemy's reaction, after all, he was also afraid of being ambushed.

On the wilderness outside the camp of the Liaodong Army, there were a phalanx of the Hebei Army distributed in the black pressure, with 5,000 cavalry on the left and right flanks, and an infantry phalanx composed of shield soldiers, archers, and pikemen in the middle.

At this time, the Liaodong Army could not hold out and closed the camp gate.

Liu Heimin took the lead at this time, rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Yu Yuqing and the two girls with red sleeves still haven't come out to surrender?" Your right army is gone! Luo Yi and Luo Shou are dead! Now that my soldiers are pressing in, if I dare to resist stubbornly, I will not blame our Xia King for being unkind! ”

At this time, a tall, beautiful, and heroic female general appeared on the high platform at the entrance of the Liaodong military camp, wearing a hot red dress, which looked so eye-catching and chic in this black and oppressive crowd.

"Master Gao, who is this woman? It looks beautiful! Ling Jing looked at the Liaodong female general and swallowed his saliva violently.

"This woman is Yuming's wife, Red Sleeves, I heard that she and Yuming met when they were still the captains, and it can be said that they came together on the battlefield. It is also famous in the Liaodong Army. Gao Shixing obviously had some research on the generals of the Liaodong Army.

"Damn, why is Yuming's wife so beautiful? And it's also a female general, it's really rare! Ling Jing licked his chapped lips and said with a greedy and **** look in his eyes.

At this time, Red Sleeves sneered at Hebei Jun: "Dou Jiande! We lost just one game in Riverland. But you were defeated in Zhao County and Hengshui County, and now the two counties have fallen into the hands of my Liaodong Army. My king Zhou personally led a large army to your old nest Leshou...... You are the ones who should surrender! ”

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, although the volume was not loud, but it spread far away, far to the ears of the soldiers of the Hebei Army who were already lined up in a phalanx at the gate of the camp.

"What? Zhao County and Hengshui County have been lost? ”

"So that means we're alone now?"

"Not good! My wife and children are still happy! ”

When the soldiers of the Hebei Army heard the news, they immediately talked about it, and their morale couldn't help but stagnate.

When Dou Jiande heard Red Sleeves say this, he knew that the situation was going to be worse. The defeat of Zhao County and Hengshui County was only known to a few of the most senior officers, and the soldiers and low-level officers were not notified, just for fear of affecting morale, but they did not expect to be announced loudly by Red Sleeves.

But now if you want to deny it outright, you can't do it, after all, this matter can't contain the fire in paper, or the defeated troops of the two counties will flee back in two days, and everyone will know the result of the defeat at that time. If he lies to his face now, he will be even more faceless if he is exposed in the future.

Of course, Dou Jiande would not be stupid enough to admit it immediately. After rolling his eyes, he pretended to be arrogant and laughed: "I see that there is really no one in the Liaodong Army, and he actually called a woman to the battlefield." Redsleeves, you have to shout here. This king wants to see how powerful your Liaodong army is! ”

After saying that, Dou Jiande waved his hand and motioned for Ling Jing to step forward and attack. After the reorganization, the 20,000 soldiers under Ling Jing were replaced with captured Youzhou Army equipment, which can be described as a shotgun for artillery, and the combat effectiveness has been improved by a notch.

Ling Jing is Dou Jiande's fellow countryman, and when he used to deal with the Sui army's expeditions, he lost more than he won, far less than Liu Heimin's military exploits. As a result, both looked down on each other. There is also a lot of controversy within the Hebei Army about Ling Jingneng becoming one of the two main generals of the Xia Army, and many people think that he is in a high position because of the identity of King Xia's fellow countryman.

Therefore, Ling Jing has always wanted to prove that he is stronger than Liu Heimin. And this war with the Liaodong Army, he believes that it is a chance to calm down internal criticism of him. He has always been eager to win in battle to prove what he can do. And the Hebei Army defeated Luo Yi's 60,000 Youzhou Army before, which also increased Ling Jing's confidence. Because his army was the vanguard that rushed to the forefront during the war with Luo Yi.

"If I can defeat Red Sleeves again this time, I'm afraid no one in the army will dare to doubt me anymore!" Ling Jing thought secretly in his heart.

"The cavalry is distributed on both flanks!"

"Shield soldiers are at the forefront!"

"Archers and pikemen followed!"

"Everybody stay in formation, don't scatter! Follow the rhythm of the big troops! ”

Ling Jing issued one order after another.

At this time, Red Sleeves and Yu Yuqing came down from the high platform and walked into a tent next to them.

In the tent sat a middle-aged military general who was energetic and tall, and a beautiful young woman in her teens.

At this time, the two women bowed in unison and saluted, "Meet Master and Master." ”

It turned out that these two people turned out to be Li Jing and Hongfu Nu. Half a year ago, Li Jing received Yang Guang's holy decree to transfer him from Dunhuang to Liaodong, and after listening to Yuming's dispatch, he was ready to come to Liaodong to take up his post. However, the military general who succeeded him was delayed due to the war, and he waited for more than two months to complete the handover work. Then he took his own soldiers and came with the Red Whisk Girl to find Yuming.

Due to the frequent battles in Guanlong, Hetao, and Hedong, Xue Ju, Li Yuan, Liang Shidu, and Liu Wuzhou fought each other and fought inextricably. Li Jing and his wife had to make a detour to the grassland, and it took nearly four months to reach Beiping.

At this time, Yuming had already launched an attack on Dou Jiande.

After getting the news that his master had come to take refuge, Yu Ming also immediately made a decision and sent someone to inform Li Jing and his wife to go to the rear army led by Red Sleeves and Yu Yuqing to take over the command. At the same time, strict secrecy was ordered in the army. After all, Li Jing's fame is great, if Dou Jiande knew that it was Li Jing who was in charge of the camp, he was afraid that he would choose to escape.

And after Li Jing and the Red Whisk Girl met the two female apprentices, they also secretly gathered their strength, preparing to use a victory as a meeting gift for their apprentices.
