Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong came and went, and they tested each other, but the result was very helpless.

Today, after Li Mi's defeat, the border between the two sides is getting longer and longer, and they are unwilling to take the initiative to divide the territory.

So there is such an effect, if you attack Liyang, I will defend Wei County, take the opportunity to attack Yinzhou, and then threaten Zhengzhou.

It means that if you don't care about it, then I'm not welcome, and I won't say anything about your back road, maybe I can attack Luoyang.

Well, the Dou Jiande in Wang Shichong's imagination is obviously not specific, people have always looked at the posture is indeed lower, but it is not a soft persimmon, and it is not ambiguous at all in terms of strategic layout.

Dou Jiande's posture obviously startled Wang Shichong, he originally felt that he was facing a rabbit, but he picked out a wolf cub from the grass, and Wang Shichong, who claimed to be a hunter, obviously couldn't accept it.

To tell the truth, Wang Shichong is a person, whether from the perspective of governance or military affairs, his talents tend to be mediocre, he can't clean up the mess in Henan, not to mention, the ability to fight is actually like that.

Since this person started the army in Jiangdu, that is, he had some achievements in the war against bandits at the beginning, since he entered Luoyang and confronted Li Mi, there were no bright spots, and in the past few years, he fought hundreds of battles with Li Mi, large and small, and was almost beaten by Li Mi by holding down his head.

If it weren't for the Luoyang Jiancheng, it is estimated that Wang Shichong would have been killed by Li Mi in which corner.

Of course, to be able to get to where he is today, Wang Shichong is not without merits, his point is that this person's shamelessness and all-encompassing means, at best, are able to bend and stretch.

This is like a monster who has long come out of troubled times, groveling for a long time, once the ambition is extended, the perverse place, it is really difficult to say.

When he heard that Yinzhou was broken by Dou Jiande and slaughtered the city, Wang Shichong was surprised, and then he was furious, at this time the Henan army had broken through Liyang, and the situation was very good, Wang Shichong was thinking about whether to go north and fight with Dou Jiande, or go east to block the road from Hebei to Shandong.

Before he could make a choice, Dou Jiande, who thought he should send an envoy to sue for peace, was already holding the knife in a hurry.

With a swing of the knife, it stabbed Wang Shichong in the waist.

Wang Shichong immediately recruited his subordinates to discuss, and in the chaos, although the generals were very annoyed, and there were many voices going north, but in the end, the proposal to withdraw from the army still occupied the mainstream.

There is no way, there is not enough food and grass, but there is a Yellow River behind it, so it is impossible to confront Dou Jiande for a long time, and there are more and more rebellions, the morale of the soldiers is worrying, and it is impossible to fight for a long time.

At this time, it is not easy to choose to calmly retreat.

One is that the main force of Dou Jiande's army is in the river and cannot be turned back in a short time, and the other is because although Liu Heimin led his troops to break through Yinzhou, he could not shake the back road of the army.

The intention of most of the generals was clear by this point, and the battle should be over.

It can be said that there is nothing to say about this battle in terms of strategy and tactics, and the strategic goals were set very vaguely before the war, and they wanted to force Dou Jiande to comply, but they still wanted to conquer the city and plot against Shandong, but they were fighting Liyang.

Then the war itself will tell you that fighting a war is not such a joke.

As a result, none of the strategic goals were achieved, and Wang Shichong, who was holding back his anger, withdrew from the army, and before retreating, as a retaliation, he burned Liyang City, not to mention, but also burned Liyang Cang.

Liyang warehouse is built on the side of the canal, close to the Yellow River crossing, obviously can not be said to be Yang Guang's northern expedition left behind, this is the hub of Henan and Hebei material transshipment, is the annex of the canal.

Back then, the Wagang bandits had robbed passing ships around here, and the robbing was full of fat, which was a golden time for the Wagang bandits.

When Yang Guang marched north, the grain millet in Liyang Cang could be said to be piled up.

But now, the rats in Liyang Cang are about to starve to death, these years from Henan to Hebei, Shandong to suppress bandits, the officials and soldiers eat all the grain and rice of Liyang Cang, the ministers of the Eastern Capital are not pulling out a dime, Luoyang Dacang is called a tight by them, but in the end they are all cheaper Wang Shichong and Li Mi, two chaotic ministers and thieves.

Maybe Wang Shichong wanted to find some food in Liyang Cang, maybe he felt that the canal was still of great use, anyway, he led his troops here, turned around, and got nothing, but it drew a bloody end to Liyang County.

This kind of revenge is actually meaningless, it can only be called venting, but it also makes Dou Jiande extremely angry, so the two families have a bad relationship, and there is no messenger to communicate with each other.

The county seat of Hejian, the county guard's house.

Dou Jiande summoned the left servant of Shangshu to shoot Pei Ju, the servant Cui Junsu, the middle scholar Liu Bin, the right servant of Shangshu to shoot Cao Dan, the general Tong Guangshou, and the Huangmen servant Ling Jing to the main hall of the county guard.

This was obviously a military meeting, and the participants were also Dou Jiande's close courtiers.

Everyone came one after another, and after saluting the emperor, they sat down one after another.

Compared with Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Xiao Mo and others, Dou Jiande, who is called the emperor and has no family background, obviously does not have "royal prestige".

His subordinates were also uneven, and they were not very good at etiquette.

The self-made Dou Jiande himself pays more attention to these, and after becoming the emperor, he asked Pei Ju and others for advice, but although the etiquette is only two words, the things covered are broad and complex, and it can almost be said to be a manifestation and symbol of civilization.

Some aristocrats may not be able to meet that standard in their lifetimes, let alone Dou Jiande, who has no family background.

Therefore, although Dou Jiande, who was sitting in the hall, could not say that he was crowned by a monkey, he could also say that he was unavoidable, and the etiquette of his courtiers was also chaotic.

Pei Ju and others paid a big salute and made it very solemn, while Cao Dan and others were more casual, knocking on their chests, and seeing the Supreme on the road, they sat in their seats as soon as they turned around, and began to look around, greeting each other, but Dou Jiande frowned.

Moreover, Dou Jiande's choice of time is also very unreliable, it is just a meal, obviously he wants to talk with his subordinates while eating.

So the dishes were put on the table one after another, and Pei Ju and the others here were still waiting for the emperor to speak, drink a cup first and then move the chopsticks, and they had already begun to gobble up.

It is true that the people who started as bandits do not want to be bound by any etiquette, they hate the nobles at their roots, and naturally do not want to act like them, but in fact, they are transforming like the nobles, and there are obvious differences between them and the nobles in many things, but they coincide with the nobles in their style of treating human life as a mustard.

Obviously, the peasant army has come to this point and is facing a transformation.

Most of them did not realize that while deliberately expressing their closeness to the emperor, they did not achieve the effect of deterring these former Sui ministers, but would instead sow themselves a curse.

When the emperor felt that he had secured the throne and the external troubles were eliminated, they were the first to be eliminated, because they did not understand the truth of the cunning rabbit and the dead lackey.

Of course, now he is still in a happy state, and he is not very happy, and Dou Jiande, who feels that he has opened a gap with his old subordinates, can still endure his temperament, say a few words to his subordinates, and then recall the hard years at the beginning according to his habits, and let his subordinates know that he has not forgotten those accidents that lived and died together, nor has he forgotten their merits.

Turning around, Dou Jiande said a few more words to the people on the other side, reassuring them, I didn't mean to look down on you.

This is tiring, so there is no need to mention it.

Actually, Dou Jiande did a pretty good job, and if he didn't let a full martial arts show here, it can very well explain his ability.

After a lot of effort, even Dou Jiande himself felt that if he continued to live like this again and again, he would have to live many years less, and finally got down to business.

"Please...... Zhu Qing's family came over...... I just want to discuss, now I want to take Youzhou, but Wang Shichong's thief has come to attack him...... How to deal with it, you give me ideas. ”

Well, this person felt that Wen Crepe had a hard time talking, and finally showed his true colors again.

The voices of the generals who shouted and drank were lowered, and they were actually very awkward when they listened to the emperor, and most of them were muttering to themselves, the big boss became the emperor, but he was not as straightforward as before.

It's not refreshing, when I was in Shandong, I still used the big guy to come up with any ideas, as long as you say a word, we don't complain if we fall off our heads.

And the general Tong Guangshou used to be a sworn brother with Dou Jiande, and he was used to competing for the first place in everything, except for a Cao Dan who made him a little jealous, he felt that the position of the head of everyone belonged to him, so he was the most hostile to Pei Ju and others.

Haha smiled, this one opened his mouth, "Wang Shichong is not trustworthy, when we attack Youzhou, stab a knife in the back, look at me, don't care about Youzhou first, those thieves in the north will only shrink in the city, and they are almost inseparable from his mother's turtles, let's not attack, give them the courage to fight with us." ”

"It's better to go to Luoyang first, cut off Wang Shichong's head, I said a long time ago, there is a lot of grain and grass in Luoyang, and it will be enough for us to eat for a few years, what kind of land do we need to plant? I think that Lao Tzu was a farmer at the beginning, and he was tired and stinky to death all day long, and finally collected some food, but he had to give most of it to the government, not to mention Lao Tzu, even my children couldn't eat enough......"

Speaking of this, this person was very angry, glared at the other side viciously, and unconsciously held the handle of the knife with his palm, with a posture of wanting to hurt people.

The white-haired Pei Ju glanced at it, then lowered his gaze, and sat there like a sculpture, in his opinion, the irascible Tong Guangshou should not live for a few days, and he couldn't deal with a dying person.

Cui Junsu snorted coldly, and looked at Tong Guangshou without giving way.

Ling Jing, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, shrank his head, he had eaten Tong Guangshou's fists and feet.
