Chapter 2 Pulling the Tiger Pilla Banner (Four Watches)
Chapter 2 Pulling the Tiger Pilla Banner (Four Watches)
The company collapsed, the wife and children were gone, and everything was gone, just like the bankrupt boss in later generations, standing on the rooftop, facing death, it was no longer fear, but a relief, which was the true psychological portrayal of Dou Jiande at this time.
The thirty-nine prefectures of Hebei, except for Xiangzhou, which was the first to be taken down by Chen Ying, and the other twenty-two prefectures surrendered to the Tang State in just three days, changed their flags, and it seemed that overnight, the entire Hebei changed color.
Maybe everything is providence, maybe everything is fate.
Dou Jiande sat lonely on the wall of Zezhou City, far away from the Tang army camp opposite, feeling both bitter and helpless.
If it's because of Providence, it's really impossible to resist.
If it is because of fate, it can only be borne silently.
Ling Jing, who was standing not far away, was also full of sadness and helplessness at the moment. He naturally knew very well that Dou Jiande's heart was sour at the moment, but he really didn't know how to explain Dou Jiande. At present, Dou Jiande and Cao Zhan's department in Huzhou have been isolated by Yang Wengan, the governor of Qingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and Dou Jiande is a lone army with no backup, no rear, and no friends.
Although at this moment, Dou Jiande still has fifty or sixty thousand steps to ride, looking at the world, no matter where it is, this is a force to be reckoned with, however, the most important thing is that Dou Jiande is like the overlord of Chu who is surrounded under the wall at this moment, even though he is powerful and can be lifted, he is helpless.
"Your Majesty, it's not like we're not without a chance!" Ling Jing pondered the words, and said slowly: "Zezhou can't hold on for a long time, we must get out as soon as possible, if we travel lightly, break through to the north, and ...... with the Sui lord."
"I, I understand what Ling Qing means!" Dou Jiande said with a wry smile on his face: "Now that I have lost my country, how can I make a comeback, I know what you want to say, but ...... I will never go north, let alone pay tribute to the Turkic Hu race! β
Ling Jing said: "Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands!" β
"You don't understand!" Dou Jiande suddenly got up, pointed to the fearful Xia army soldiers around him and said, "I have already lost, and now there are enough people who have died, enough!" β
β¦β¦
Outside the city of Xiazhou, the Tang army camp, with the news of the victory in the battle of Hebei Zhaozhou, Chen Ying defeated Liu Heimin, and the news of the change of banners in Hebei 22 Prefecture came.
In fact, Li Jiancheng is also trying to solve this battle as soon as possible.
The day after tomorrow is the day of Li Xiuning's wedding. When Li Xiuning married Chai Shao, because this was Li Yuan's delaying tactic from beginning to end, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuan hid from Li Xiuning and sent Li Xiuning to Daxing (Chang'an) City alone to marry Chai Shao. This is what Li Jiancheng owes Li Xiuning as his brother, so this time Li Xiuning's big wedding, it is reasonable, Li Jiancheng feels that he must watch Li Xiuning put on his wedding dress and board the float.
Li Jiancheng muttered: "This palace wants to break the city one day, generals, who has a good plan?" β
Xue Wanche said unyieldingly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general is willing to go!" β
Although the words were said openly, Xue Wanche actually did not have the slightest bottom. The siege of the city is very difficult in this era, and he does not have three heads and six arms, he is the first to stand up, in fact, he is showing loyalty to Li Jiancheng.
However, Wei Zheng stood up and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that we should be quiet and not move at this moment!" β
Li Jiancheng frowned slightly, the truth is the truth, and Li Jiancheng understands it. But emotionally, he hoped to return to Chang'an immediately and cover Li Xiuning's head.
It seems that Li Jiancheng's idea is a little naΓ―ve, in fact, Li Jiancheng is such a naΓ―ve person, so in history, he lost, lost very badly, and died very badly.
Li Jiancheng's eyebrows tightened a little tighter: "This palace wants to return to Chang'an!" β
Wei Zheng smiled slightly and said: "If that's the case, then you can only reveal the hole cards in advance!" β
"Hole cards?" Li Jiancheng was slightly stunned, and said puzzledly: "What hole card?" β
Wei Zheng winked at Li Jiancheng, and his smile became even stronger: "His Royal Highness the Prince, General Chen led his troops to help!" β
Li Jiancheng's doubts were even worse: "General Chen? β
Wei Zheng was particularly heavy: "The champion general, General Chen, is coming to Zezhou to lead the left and right guards of the East Palace and the most elite cavalry under his command!" β
Although Li Jiancheng's idea is a little naΓ―ve, this is just Li Jiancheng's family affection, and he thinks that family affection is better than everything. The first time Wei Zheng said something inexplicably wonderful hole cards, Li Jiancheng really didn't understand it, he knew that Chen Ying and Li Xiuning's wedding was approaching, with Chen Ying's character, he was afraid that he had already returned to Chang'an, and at worst, he should enter Guanzhong now. But Wei Zheng said that Chen Ying was coming, and Li Jiancheng understood.
Wei Zheng is pulling the banner of the tiger.
In this era, there is neither a telescope nor a clear camera, even if Dou Jiande and Chen Ying have fought head-on, but the people who can really recognize Chen Ying are probably not there many in the Xia Kingdom. The two armies are facing each other, what you see is the approximate, what you see is the flag, as long as Chen Ying's Da Yan is shown, the soldiers of the Xia Army in Zezhou will definitely think that Chen Ying is coming!
Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng groaned: "That...... Isn't it too early? β
Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng so cooperative, and said with joy in his heart: "Maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has other plans, but the battle of Hedong has lasted too long, and tens of thousands of soldiers eat horses, which is also a lot of pressure for the Tang Dynasty...... I'm afraid that Lingzhou will also be in danger of capsizing! β
Li Jiancheng said: "This time, we Datang can't afford to lose, Hedong is the root of Datang, and there is no room for loss...... That's it! β
Xue Wanche was dazed, and vaguely felt: "General Chen is here?" β
Li Jiancheng pretended to say: "Tell General Chen, let him show up!" β
After receiving the order, the herald turned around and walked out of the camp tent, the time was only half an hour, and all the soldiers in the Tang army camp outside the city of Zezhou knew a news, General Chen, who had just defeated Liu Heimin, conquered Zhaozhou, and deterred the 22 prefectures of Hebei to surrender without a fight.
This news made the officers and men of the Tang Army as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
An hour later, on the official road from Luzhou to Zezhou, an army came in three columns, and thousands of soldiers walked forward in a mighty manner. These sergeants, each with their heads held high and their eyes not squinting, and thousands of shoes rising and falling at the same time, stepped in a strange rhythm, and the whole army marched as neatly as if it were marching between two straightened ropes.
On the one hand, the wind hunted and hunted.
The book is eight feet long and three feet wide, and the champion general Chen is the book.
Xue Wanche rubbed his eyes and stared at the young general who walked at the front of the team, this young man was slender and had clear eyebrows, and he was really dignified.
However, Xue Wanche can swear that this will definitely not be Chen Ying.
Chen Ying and Xue Wanche fought side by side in Jingyang City, although he could recognize Chen Ying when he turned into ashes, he must be bragging, but it was certain that the Tang Army soldier in front of him would definitely not be Chen Ying.
This army, along the official road, continued to advance, ignoring the Tang army camp next to the official road, but drove straight to the city of Zezhou.
This kind of army that raises its legs neatly and settles neatly is simply Chen Ying's signboard, although the Da Shen Banner can be faked, but the army can't fake it.
"Chen Ying is here, run!"
Countless soldiers of the Xia Army of Zezhou were shouting in their hearts, looking panicked.
Although Dou Jiande couldn't see Chen's face clearly, he felt that something was wrong. Chen Ying's troops are moving so fast?
Originally, the generals of the Xia Army who were lucky were also in a cold sweat at this moment.
If Chen Ying was a taboo existence in the Hebei army before, but as the news of Chen Ying's victory over Liu Heimin spread, no one dared to underestimate Chen Ying anymore.
Chen Ying came, even if he was a pioneer, even if there were only a few thousand people, but it caused great panic to the soldiers of the Xia army.
Ling Jing's tongue was a little stiff, and he looked at Dou Jiande with difficulty and said, "Your Majesty, what should I do?" β
Dou Jiande looked at the Tang Army soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and his doubts became bigger and bigger, but the Xia Army soldiers around him were in a hurry.
"One day and one night to break the gate of the wild goose!"
"One hour to break through the Hangu Pass!"
"Half an hour to break through the state."
If Li Jiancheng attacked Zezhou, they still had the confidence to hold on for a few days, but Chen Ying's record was too terrifying, and under his attack, I was afraid that the soldiers of the Xia army would suffer a catastrophe.
Dou Jiande saw the reactions of the soldiers around him, they were already afraid, they were cowardly before fighting, and the soldiers were taboo, and now he had made the final decision.
"Hit the gates of the city, surrender the city?!
PS: I still owe two more.
