Xijin Gudu, located in the north of Runzhou, has Xiangshan Mountain as a barrier in the east to block the surging sea tide, corresponds to the ancient ditch in the north, and is a natural harbor with a stable coastline.

As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this ferry has existed, after crossing the Fucha to defeat the Wu State, it was from here to the north, chasing the Central Plains, since then, whether it is the rare "Yongjia Nandu" in ancient and modern times, or Han Shizhong's fight against the Jin State, it is here, it can be said that he is a witness to many important histories.

Standing outside the Xijin Gudu, watching the surging river flowing endlessly, Xu Jingye was speechless for a long time.

"Governor of the capital, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, this attack on Runzhou failed, not that our army can't do it, but that God wills so, if it weren't for the Tang army going south, there will be two or three days, we will definitely be able to take Runzhou City, and after this time we have repelled the Tang army, we will come back, and we will definitely take Runzhou." Xue Zhongzhang whispered from the side.

"Zhong Zhang, you don't understand, this time it was fruitless, if you want to come to Runzhou again, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Hearing Xue Zhongzhang's words, Xu Jingye shook his head and sighed.

As soon as Xu Jingye said this, whether it was Xue Zhongzhang or Luo Binwang and others, their faces changed.

They all heard the meaning of Xu Jingye's words, and it was difficult to come back to Runzhou, the implication was that Xu Jingye was very optimistic about going north to resist the Tang army this time, and even Xu Jingye, the governor of the Xu army, had this idea, so it can be seen that the Xu army may really fail this time.

"Okay, don't think about it too much, it's useless for us to think too much, it's better to think about it for ourselves, it's better not to think about anything, be brisk, and sleep at night, by the way, it's getting late now, order the army to camp in the town, and cross the Yangtze River tomorrow morning." As if he also knew that his unconscious words just now had a different idea in everyone's hearts, Xu Jingye diverted the topic.

Although it was only halfway in the morning, and there was still a period of time before it got dark, crossing the river was a big deal after all, and the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Xu army wanted to cross the river, and it was impossible to cross the river without half a day.

Xijin Gudu, although it is the name of a ferry, but because the ancient ferry has existed for too long, but also because the geographical location of the ancient ferry is too generous, over time, I don't know when, there are people next to the ancient ferry, and gradually these people are more and more, and now it has become a town, said to be a town, in fact, the population is more than the county seat in many places, and most of them are living by ferrying or helping people transport.

Because the Xu army was huge, in addition to the entire Runzhou, except for Runzhou City, there was no second systematic army at all, so the Xu army was very casual when it was stationed, and only chose a relatively close distance from Gudu, and did not take any defensive measures.

The fire is raging, it has entered October, and the weather has really become cold, not to mention the dripping water into ice, but the exposed skin is also uncomfortable.

Maybe it's to improve morale, or it may be to treat everyone, after deciding to set up camp here, Xu Jingye ordered people to buy a lot of meat and vegetables and other things in the town, and at night, they will light a bonfire to let all the soldiers have a good time.

Fortunately, the town has a large population, and in addition, it was originally a traffic artery, and there were many merchants who bought and sold meat and vegetables, otherwise it would be really difficult to meet the needs of more than 100,000 of them.

...........................

"Lang Jun, do you think this Xu Jingye is smart or stupid, he is obviously in a dangerous place, but he dares to let his soldiers indulge like this, it is really the will of God!"

Not far away, Duan Shui looked at the hot Xu Jun camp and couldn't help but sigh.

"He's not stupid, General Li Jida's grandson, Xu Jingye, who has been invincible all over Chang'an City since he was a child, how can he be stupid, he is just a little too arrogant, and his selfishness is too heavy, if not, he listened to Wei Siwen's words, at the beginning of the rebellion, he went north to Shandong, won over Shandong Haoqiang, and then took advantage of the situation to attack Luoyang, I'm afraid the world has long been in his hands, how can it fall to this point, it is all human character that determines fate, God is honest and does not deceive me." Duan Jian couldn't help but sigh.

For Xu Jingye, since Duan Jian knew that he was going to rebel, he has been analyzing him as a person, according to the news he got, in combination with what he learned in his previous life, Xu Jingye is the kind of legendary, there is no big smart, and the little smart person is constantly clever, for one thing, he can't control the fundamentals, and he is easily confused by some superficial benefits, all, this kind of person can often get temporary benefits, but it is difficult to get a long-term victory.

It is precisely for this reason that Duan Jian often thinks about doing things a few times now, just for fear that he will become a person like Xu Jingye.

"Lang Jun's words are reasonable, character determines fate, this Xu Jingye is arrogant, and he is destined to be killed by his own arrogance, but I don't know if he can get away with it tonight, if he dies here, I don't know what the world will think of him, and how will Lang Jun be treated, when the time comes, maybe there will be a lot more people who hate Lang Jun." Wen Yurong on the side couldn't help but laugh.

"Hate Ah Lang, why is this, Ah Lang exterminated Xu Jun and killed Xu Jingye, a traitor, so that the people of the world can get too much peace and stability, how can they hate Ah Lang, is it Xu Jingye's relatives." Hearing Wen Yurong say something strange, Su Xiu'er couldn't help but ask curiously.

Regarding Su Xiu'er's inquiry, Wen Yurong just smiled and didn't answer, or Duan Jian replied, "You don't understand this, the reason why Mr. Wen said that there will be a lot more people who hate someone in the world, it's not that the people will hate someone, but those wealthy families, do you know, this time Xu Jingye was able to successfully rebel and gather so many people in a short period of time, he can't just rely on his strength, what about many people behind him?" ”

"This slave family knows, isn't it just the people who are dissatisfied with the Queen Mother and those wealthy families who have lost many benefits due to the Queen Mother's policies? You've told the slave family about this. Before Duan Jian finished speaking, Su Xiu'er hurriedly said.

"Yes, what you said is very right, it's those people, think about it, if Xu Jingye's rebellion succeeds, what will happen, the Queen Mother will definitely abdicate, when the time comes, the Queen Mother's policy of restricting the strong and increasing the interests of the people will also be put into flow, and then those heroes will be back in the limelight, you say, if someone kills Xu Jingye now and defeats the Xu army, will they thank so-and-so?" Duan Jian asked.

"Ah, they must be eager to eat your flesh, you killed Xu Jingye, it is equivalent to cutting off the root of their re-rise, how can they thank you, no wonder you say that there will be more people who hate you, I see, it's just that those Haoqiang were not enemies with you before, they can be ruthless if they want to hate, anyway, you can't lose a piece of meat." Su Xiuer said.

"Hahaha, yes, if they want to hate, they can hate it, anyway, there is no loss, if the rebels can really be exterminated, the Queen Mother may be happy, and give me another life, then those people will probably hate even more." Looking at Su Xiu'er's indifferent appearance, Duan Jian couldn't help but smile proudly.

..............................

In the Xu army camp, the generals of the Xu army, who were supposed to push the cups and change the lamps, sat here one by one, not to mention drinking, not even a cup of tea, and couldn't even speak.

And in the entire camp, except for Xu Jingye, only one person was talking.

"Captain Jiang, is your situation true?" Xu Jingye asked with a solemn face.

"The governor of the capital rest assured, the last general is willing to use his head to vouch, the last general's words are true, after Captain Cai passed the news to the camp at that time, the general already had a very bad premonition, therefore, specially ordered the general to hide, in order to pass the news to the governor, the development of things is really the same as the general guessed, after the governor got the news, he quickly washed back to Runzhou City, surrounded Runzhou City, and the general and others were also about to start, sneak attack the city gate at night, and enlarge the army into the city, was wiped out by the Tang army in the city, and even the general was caught by the Tang army, and he still doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Therefore, the last general is sure that the person who did this series of things is Duan Jian, the governor of Suzhou, and the general even judged that the previous burning of our army's grain and grass was also done by Duan Jian, so the general formulated such a plan to invite the king into the urn, and strive to wipe out Duan Jian's cancer, so that even if Runzhou City was not taken down, without Duan Jian's help, Li Siwen and others were just a group of incompetent people, and most of the governors went north to fight with the Tang army, and they could rest assured. ”

The person who spoke was none other than Captain Jiang who had followed Xu Jingyou into Runzhou City as a spy, hoping to take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate and let Xu Jun enter the city, but unfortunately, their plan had already been discovered by Duan Jian, and the nighthawks under the command of Le Buping were monitoring them, how could they let them run, so after Xu Jingye came to Runzhou City for the second time, when Xu Jingyou was about to seize the city gate, he was captured by the Tang army arranged by Li Siwen, and even Xu Jingyou, the leader, did not run. didn't expect that Xu Jingyou still had such a hand, and actually let Captain Jiang hide, and did not participate in the action, and also worked out some tricks to invite you into the urn.

After listening to Xu Jingyou's plan conveyed by Captain Jiang, Xu Jingye sighed for a while, "Hey, I will not listen to the words of the military advisor and my brother, so that our army will have the current crisis." ”

"Don't be impatient, although our army seems to be extremely passive now, it is not without a chance to turn the danger into a disaster, just like the major general said, as long as we stabilize the rear, we will be able to compete with the Tang army, as long as we resist the offensive of the Tang army, we will be able to gradually launch a counterattack, and the top priority now is to follow the plan of the major general to get rid of Duan Jian, the cancer that has been hidden in front of us." Xue Zhongzhang said.

"Smack...."

"Yes, whether it is for those dead soldiers or Wudi, we must eradicate the tumor of Duan Jian, and tonight I want this place to be Duan Jian's burial place." A hard punch slammed into the case, Xu Jingye shouted extremely angrily.

For Duan Jian, Xu Jingye is now extremely angry, if Duan Jian is in front of him, peeling skin and cramps, crushing bones and ashes or something is the lightest, originally he thought that it was the will of heaven that he couldn't take Runzhou City, but now he knows that it is not the will of God, but Duan Jian is helping Li Siwen, and it is precisely because of Duan Jian that he did not take Runzhou City as soon as possible, thus delaying the time to seize Jinling City, causing the Tang army to press the border, he can only return in a hurry, but he has to worry about whether there will be an enemy attack on the back road at any time. This kind of grievance and discomfort made Xu Jingye very much into Duan Jian's bones.

With a plan, after knowing the opponent, Xu Jingye also played his own tactics, as the orders were conveyed, one by one the generals gave up their orders, and for a while, the Xu army camp also fell into a situation of tight inside and loose outside, and after everything was ready, he quietly waited for the fish to take the bait.

In the middle of the night, I don't know if it was deliberate or other reasons, a month of sunny days, tonight actually changed, layers of thick clouds blocked the moon very tightly, not a trace of light leaked, which also made the whole earth, appear unusually quiet and dark.

Climbing on a high ground, Duan Jian and the others were looking at the Xu Jun camp, although they had already explored during the day, but after all, it was daytime, they didn't dare to get too close, and the exploration at night was the focus.

"It's good to be full of food and drink, but it's a pity that this is a wilderness, if it's in the city, I'm looking for a few little ladies to accompany me, it's simply a fairy-like life!" After looking at the Xu Jun camp for a long time, Yan Ming couldn't help but tease.

"It's still a fairy-like day, you live a fairy life every day at home, but why did you escape again, maybe you don't want to become a fairy." Hearing Yan Ming's ridicule, Duan Mu opened his mouth and mocked.

"You...... Hmph, what do you know about a coarse and stupid idiot, once in a while it is a fairy, and every day it is hell, go, go to the side of the road, talk to your family Langjun, when is it your turn to interject. Being frightened by Duan Mu for a while, Yan Ming said with some uneasiness on his face.

It's also strange to say, Yan Ming and Duan Mu are rich young masters, and the other is a house slave, but the two of them are extremely able to talk together, plus Yan Ming is informal, Duan Mu is rude and rude, and the relationship between the two is actually not bad, but sometimes the two of them will be crazy because of some things, which makes others look extremely smacked.
