The city was broken, it didn't take much effort, the loss was not big, and the soldiers and horses were brought to Hu'er, and Tuoba Rui, Sima Qiu and others in the city should be combined with each other, and more than 20,000 Tang troops collapsed.

That night, the city changed banners and became Dahua's territory.

This is the first city to be conquered by the Dahua army in the area east of the Huanghe River and north of Weishui, like a sharp knife, inserted into the hinterland of Fufeng County.

After a night of army reorganization, the Dahua army completely controlled the city, and the internal and external garrisons were impregnable to prevent the Tang army from the other three cities from attacking tomorrow.

The news was sent out that night, and the scouts rode and galloped to deliver the latest front-line information to His Majesty.

The next morning, Luo Zhaoyun got accurate news in the military tent, which was a handwritten letter from Hou Junji and Lai Hu'er, all of whom told the incident.

At the same time, Yan Langge's intelligence team also sent the information back, and the comparison of the information of the three parties was similar and basically true.

"In this battle, Hou Junji fought beautifully, and the art of war was learned and used, which was of great use." Luo Zhaoyun sighed lightly, Hou Junji was too young in the past, although he had worshiped Li Jing as his teacher and learned the art of war for two years, but he had never shown a clever plan.

Going to the army to fight and strategize, just by arranging troops to fight a tough battle, that cannot fully reflect the talent of a clever strategic commander.

Now Hou Junji is able to use strange schemes, make decisions on the spot, successively take Chencang and Yucheng, and reduce casualties, know how to use rebellion, psychological warfare, etc., act when the opportunity is seen, use skillfully, and the soldiers are treacherous, which shows that he has gradually matured and can stand alone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the good news, Chen Cang and Yucheng have all been broken and taken by our Dahua Vanguard Army, and now the two generals of Hu'er and Hou Junji are merged in Yucheng to guard against the counterattack of the Tang Army!"

After Luo Zhaoyun announced the news, Guo Xiaoke, Chu Suiliang, Yu Zhining and others were all pleasantly surprised, praising the bravery of the front-line soldiers and the general's command ability.

"Yucheng is the bridgehead, take it as a breakthrough, and use this as a base point, our army can cross the river as soon as possible, gather on the periphery of Yucheng, and camp together to contend with the Tang army, and there is no need to suffer a big loss in the battle of crossing the river." Luo Zhaoyun said with a smile.

"What Your Majesty said is very true, and it should be so!" Guo Xiaoke hugged his fists.

Luo Zhaoyun paused, and said to Xiao Yu, the internal history that came with him: "Start writing to the Ministry of Officials, send a group of government officials to arrive, quickly govern the occupied land of Fufeng County, win over the people, and govern the local people's livelihood." The people are the state, and the country is solid. The people's livelihood is diligent, and diligence is not scarce! ”

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "The minister obeys." ”

Chu Suiliang sighed on the side: "The beginning of the husband and the overlord is also people-oriented, the principle is the country's solidity, and the chaos is the country's danger." Your Majesty's early recognition of this will be of great benefit to the prosperity of Dahua. ”

Luo Zhaoyun laughed secretly in his heart, these theories are all people-oriented disguised statements, this kind of view, whether the king recognizes it or not, must be expressed from time to time, so that the ministers believe it is true, they will treat you as a Ming monarch, and then they will work diligently in their own duties, and there will be fewer flatterers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, time is pressing, there is no room for delay, convey it to all armies, rush to Weishui by Chencang tomorrow, cross the river to the outside of Yucheng, and prepare for a decisive battle with the Tang army in Fufeng County!"

"Yes!" The military generals replied in unison.

........

At noon the next day, Li Jiancheng also received information that he had lost two cities in two days, and that he was so close that his plan to confront Dahua in the area of Huanghe and Weishui was shattered.

Li Jiancheng's originally handsome and kind face became a little hideous, and he roared loudly: "How could it be, so fast, my tens of thousands of Tang troops, are they all paper paste, and if they say defeat, they will be defeated, so vulnerable?" ”

"Your Highness is angry!" Everyone advised, and it is rare to see the steady His Royal Highness the Prince, so out of shape.

"Anger? How can His Highness not be angry? Two cities have been lost in a row, half of Fufeng County has fallen, fifty or sixty thousand horses, and the captives who have been captured in this way, the killings of the killings, the loss of more than half of the troops, and the burning of grain and grass, what kind of face does His Highness have to go back to face the saints? ”

Li Jiancheng was really angry enough, as the prince, the future son of heaven, he led the army to add points to himself, establish an image of civil and military all-rounders, expand his influence in the army, and also give the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, his father, the opportunity to prove his talents.

But since facing Dahua, he didn't even see the front of Luo Zhaoyun, so he suffered defeats one after another, first the Great Earthquake Pass, and then Nanyou, Chencang, and Yucheng were lost one after another, losing sixty or seventy thousand horses, and the blow was heavy.

Now Li Jiancheng himself regrets a little, after defeating the Western Qin, he did not dare to lead his troops to block the Northwest Army, Luo Cheng has a prestige, not made up, but once fought step by step, anyone who despises and is not convinced, will suffer a big loss.

"What do you think we should do against the enemy, be able to drive the Dahua military horses out of Fufeng County, and hold the western gate of Chang'an City?"

Liu Hongji said: "The number of Dahua troops is 150,000, and now we have incorporated more than 40,000 people and horses of our army, plus the recruitment of local new troops, it is enough to make up 200,000, which is not counting Qu Tutong's 50,000 elite soldiers, in the confrontation with Yin Kaishan, Liu Wenjing, and the soldiers and horses in the northwest rear, the subordinates feel that if they can't defeat the enemy, then delay, focus on the city, attack the river shoreline, and cut off the enemy's grain and grass on the other side of the river, so that the grain and grass of the 100,000 army have no follow-up, they can't hold on, only break through and flee back to the west of the Huang River." ”

After listening to this, Li Jiancheng felt that it was similar to his strategy of suffering losses in the Great Earthquake Pass a few days ago, and nodded and said: "With the way of others, he also governs his body, this plan is also wonderful!" ”

Liu Hongji interjected again: "Of course, this is just a trade-off to force the Dahua army back for the time being, but how to defeat the opponent's army and completely defeat it is really uncertain." ”

Everyone nodded in contemplation, and also felt that it was difficult to deal with the Dahua Army, and they felt powerless and helpless.

"Wang Chong of the Eastern Han Dynasty said well in "On Balance", those who are not worried about virtue cannot be far away. Those who are not big can not be seen. Luo Cheng is a person with great talents, it is difficult to deal with, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not need to blame himself, after dealing with this matter, he will return to the capital this morning, and ask His Majesty to send a general who is good at using troops to come to fight is the right reason. Li Wengan said this, really looking for Li Jiancheng to get under the stairs, when he was not optimistic that the Tang army could defeat Dahua, it was better to find an excuse to return to the capital, and if he stayed, he would only fall deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself.
