The weather is close to November, compared with the weather in the north, the Jianghuai land is better, but the wet and cold weather is still very uncomfortable.

Xijin Gudu, since Duan Jian destroyed Xu Jingye's more than 100,000 troops in a battle here, has been stationed here, and did not continue to cross the Yangtze River north nor return to Suzhou.

Watch the wind and enjoy the scenery here every day, have nothing to do, and take a boat on the Yangtze River to swim, that life is really comfortable.

"Ah, Lang Jun, hurry up, hurry up, the swim bladder is floating, pull it quickly, there must be a fish on the hook, but you can't let it run away." On a three-zhang long ship, there was a crisp shout.

Hearing the shout, a man in a coat and a felt hat slowly lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and sure enough, there was nothing on the rod, let alone the fish, even the bait placed earlier was gone.

"Hey, Xiu'er, can't you settle down, every time the fish just takes the bait, you shout and make a fuss, if you go on like this, let alone fishing, I'm afraid we're going to be hungry today."

Looking at the empty fish hook, Duan Jian sighed helplessly.

"Hmph, if you're hungry, you're hungry, what's the big deal, you still boast that you're a master of fishing, and now you can't catch fish, but you put the blame on the slave family, and the slave family still ignores you." Su Xiu'er on the side heard Duan Jian's complaints, and also said angrily.

"Hey........"

Looking at Su Xiu'er, who turned her head and ignored herself, Duan Jian smiled bitterly in her heart, shook her head and secretly thought, "No wonder even Confucius said that only villains and women are difficult to raise, this temper is really the weather in June, and it will change when it is said." ”

Of course, Duan Jian only dared to secretly think in his heart that if he dared to say it, I am afraid that he would have to be with the fish in the Yangtze River after a while.

"Okay, okay, isn't it a moment of urgency for the husband, Xiu'er don't be angry, you look, as long as you don't make a noise this time, the husband will definitely catch a big fish for you."

"Hmph, this is what you said, this time the slave family didn't say a word, if you can't catch a fish, don't blame the Dao slave family."

Under Duan Jian's initiative to bow his head, Xu Xiuer also forgave him very 'magnanimously', and then the two of them restarted the fishing rod and put bait on the hook.

Just when Duan Jian wanted to throw the rod into the water again, he saw a fishing boat not far away rushing towards here, looking at the familiar figure on the fishing boat, he helplessly put down the fishing rod, and sighed, "Hey, it seems that this fish can't be caught today, and if you want to taste Xiu'er's craftsmanship, you can only wait for another day." ”

"Hum ........."

Like Duan Jian, Su Xiu'er also saw the figure on the fishing boat, and her originally happy face instantly became difficult to look at, and at the same time, she also knew that Duan Jian's idle days were probably coming to an end.

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

In the Tang army camp in Xijin Gudu, Duan Jian, Zhou Xing, Wen Yurong and other Duan Jian's henchmen gathered in the big tent.

"It seems that the imperial court is dissatisfied with Li Xiaoyi, the general manager, and actually wants to requisition us to go north to attack Yangzhou City." Wen Yurong put the holy decree in his hand on the desk and said with a chuckle on his face.

"It's not the imperial court, but the queen mother, if it weren't for us, the queen mother would probably just be unhappy, but with our previous battles in Runzhou and this ancient ferry, the queen mother can see the gap, how can you be satisfied, to be able to retain Li Xiaoyi's position as the chief manager, it can be regarded as a grace of heaven." Zhou Xing said disdainfully.

"But isn't this letting us go to death, although Yangzhou City and Xu Jingye have suffered a great loss in strength, they are not something that more than 10,000 of us can deal with, that defeat of Xu Jun can be described as pure coincidence, not to mention that the walls of Yangzhou City are tall and heavy, not to mention that we have 10,000 people, even if it is 100,000 people, we may not be able to take it." Le Buping couldn't help but complain.

Last time, Le Buping sneaked into Xu Jingye's camp with the nighthawk, and wanted to destroy the ships of Xu Jingye's camp, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Xu Jingye's others, and even made a trap to completely surround them.

"This, Lang Jun, what do you think we should do, should we obey the dispatch and cross the river north to attack Yangzhou City or ..........." Duan Shui looked at Duan Jian and asked.

Raising his left hand and gently stroking the little beard he had just grown, Duan Jian shook his head lightly and said, "Since the holy decree has come, it is absolutely impossible to disobey the order, so there is only one way for us to go, that is, to obey the holy decree, cross the river to the north, and attack Yangzhou City." ”

"But, Duan Langjun, more than 10,000 of us went to attack Yangzhou City, that is, nine deaths and one life, have you forgotten what happened last year, tens of thousands of Tiandao rebels attacked Yangzhou City guarded by thousands of people, but they still haven't taken it, and now the rebels are definitely more than thousands of people stationed in Yangzhou City, when the time comes, the tall walls of Yangzhou City, plus tens of thousands of defenders, what will happen to us, have you thought about it?" It was Yan Ming who spoke, as a child of a family, he had received the most elite training since he was a child, and this kind of training, after experiencing practice, quickly made him a qualified thinker.

"I know, but you can rest assured, I haven't killed to the point of killing myself, I just promised them, saying that we will cross the river and go north, but if we cross the river and go north, we must go to Yangzhou City, besides, even if we go to Yangzhou City, we must start fighting, our army marched in a hurry, if we are not prepared, how to attack the city, I believe that this situation is understandable to the imperial court." Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Duan Jian said.

"Uh-huh........."

"Ah............ Hahaha, hahaha, so it is, so it is, yes, Lang Jun is really smart, this method is good, it is really good. ”

The people here are not stupid, except for a Duan Mu who has a somewhat straight temperament, which one does not have a seven-trick exquisite heart, as soon as Duan Jian said this extremely obvious hint, they also understood Duan Jian's plan.

In fact, it is very simple, Duan Jian's plan is to delay, Duan Jian is not the kind of person who Yue Fei does not consider other factors at all for the sake of the so-called foolish loyalty, with more than 10,000 people he wants to attack Yangzhou City, which is heavily garrisoned, he is either stupid or crazy, but unfortunately, he is very calm now, then, all this must not let him happen.

But he had to go, because this was the holy decree issued by Wu Meiniang, the queen mother, if he didn't obey it, he would be regarded as disobedience, and disobedience would be equivalent to rebellion, which was the object of everyone's punishment, so Duan Jian could only act in accordance with orders.

But the Zun Ling is the Zun Ling, but he didn't say that he couldn't use some means in the middle, such as raising boats if he wanted to cross the river, and the last time Xu Jingye crossed the Yangtze River in the north, he collected all the boats here, so that they would have to spend some time requisitioning boats, and after crossing the Yangtze River, it would definitely not be smooth sailing from the riverside to Yangzhou City, and the soldiers of the Xu Army were not vegetarians, and they would definitely exterminate these rebels who blocked the way.........

Anyway, as long as he wants to find excuses, he has countless excuses to find, and these excuses are also excuses that the imperial court or Wu Meiniang can't doubt at all, so that Duan Jian can keep delaying until Li Xiaoyi's army is about to arrive in Yangzhou City.

With countermeasures, the original tense tent for a while resumed its previous laughter.

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

Gao Gang goes down to Axi

This is the north gate of Yangzhou City, it can be said that if you hold Gaogang, Yangzhou City will be able to keep the Tang army out of the gate, and Xia'axi is the most convenient place for Gaogang to defend.

In Xu Jingye, the troops will only live here, mobilize tens of thousands of troops, and make this place a place with many organs, and the defense is so strict that I am afraid that except for the natural birds, other animals will not be able to set foot in this place at all.

"Woo woo, the Metropolitan Governor, are the last generals are incompetent, lost Duliang Mountain, not only let my army suffer heavy losses, but also lost a final strategic place, the last general knows that he deserves to die, and please punish the Metropolitan Governor, whether it is killing or chopping, the last general has no complaints."

In the big tent, more than a dozen brightly dressed generals of Xu Jin stood on both sides, and in the middle aisle, a ragged man was kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly, it was none other than Wei Chizhao, who was 'lucky' to escape from the Tang army in Duliangshan.

"Duliang Mountain was lost like this, what about Wei Chao, how did he lead the troops, it was 20,000 soldiers, and the land of Duliang Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be said that it was impossible to open it with one man, could the Tang Army really be able to fly to the sky, say, you make it clear to so-and-so, otherwise, so-and-so will cut you with a thousand knives."

Xu Jingye, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but reprimand angrily after looking at Yu Chizhao.

Although Xu Jingye knew that under the pressure of the Tang army's soldiers, the loss of Duliangshan was only a matter of time, but he never imagined that this thing would come so soon, or so suddenly, disrupting all his plans.

Xu Jingye originally wanted to follow Wei Siwen's suggestion and take advantage of this geographical advantage to drag down the Tang army, so as to take the opportunity to buffer, but he didn't expect this opportunity to disappear so quickly, which is no less than depriving him of the opportunity to continue to live, in this way, how can Xu Jingye not be annoyed.

Since he fled back, Wei Chizhao must have had his own set of rhetoric, and said while sobbing when he heard the words, "Dadu Governor, that Duliang Mountain is indeed a terrain that is not open for a long time, we have also made complete preparations on the mountain before, and at the same time gave the Tang army great damage, in just four days, the Tang army killed no less than 10,000 people, but who would have thought that the Tang army seemed to really have the ability to fly, I don't know how, it suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, and launched an attack on us from behind, carelessly, The army was raided by the Tang family, a chaos, and the Tang army under the mountain also took the opportunity to attack us, under the front and rear attacks, our army was defeated, General Wei was also struggling to kill the enemy, not killed, a certain eye can not get out, originally wanted to jump off the mountain and died, but I didn't expect to fall on a big tree, luckily survived, so that the last general has the opportunity to see the governor again! ”

"It's a bunch of nonsense, nonsense, what flying ability, what suddenly appeared, it seems that you didn't take this matter seriously, so you gave Tang Jun a chance to take advantage of it, you still have the face to come back, do you really think that someone doesn't dare to kill you, someone will ........ come"

"Slow, don't be impatient, General Wei Chi must be doing his best in this battle, but the will of heaven is like this, how can manpower be changed, besides, the enemy is at present, and it is not very lucky to kill the general, it is better for the Metropolitan Governor to spare his life and let him make meritorious contributions." Xu Jingye was furious and was about to order Wei Chi Zhao to be punished, but fortunately, at a critical time, Wei Siwen got up to stop him.

"Yes, although General Wei Chi was defeated, it is excusable, and I ask the Metropolitan Governor to bypass his life."

"The Metropolitan Governor should give General Wei Chi a chance, if the generals know that the Metropolitan Governor is magnanimous, they may be able to kill a few more enemies."

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

With Wei Siwen taking the lead, many generals have opened their mouths to plead, not because of Wei Chizhao's popularity, but because these people are generals, as generals, no one dares to guarantee that they will be victorious generals all their lives, if they are defeated, they will be killed, who will dare to lead the troops to fight in the future, so today they rescued Wei Chizhao, and someone will come forward to help them another day, this is the so-called unspoken rule, and it is also one of the slight roots of human beings.

"It's ........ Hmph, since all the generals have said so, I will give you this opportunity, from today on, you will serve as the captain of the death battalion, and you can behead ten to offset your sins, are you willing? ”

"Ah, thank you Dadu, thank you Dadu, I will definitely live up to the grace of Dadudu's life and bravely kill the enemy."

Wei Chizhao was moved to 'cry bitterly', and said while kowtowing.

After Wei Chizhao withdrew gratefully, the big tent became silent again.

Everyone knows that the loss of Duliang Mountain does not represent the loss of a strategic place, but represents the two places that were originally cornered, and now they have become Xia Axi's independent resistance to the Tang army.

What's more, the loss of Duliang Mountain also means that the delay plan they made before has completely failed, for the sake of now, they can only hold on to Xia Axi, if they can resist the attack of the Tang army here, it is okay, if they are also lost here, they will be completely finished, therefore, at this moment of crisis, they all know that Xu Jingye is angry in his heart, and no one will provoke his anger at this time.
