After Duan Decao got the edict of Chang'an, he immediately led his troops to Yanzhou to fight with Liang Shidu, his troops were small, first closed the city gate and did not fight, and when the army of Liang Shidu gradually relaxed, Duan Decao sent the deputy governor Liang Li to lead troops to attack Liang Shidu.

Just when the battle between Liang Shidu and Liang Li was fierce, Duan Decao used light cavalry to raise a lot of flags, and suddenly attacked Liang Shidu's army from behind, the largest of the many banners, wrote whether it was or Li Yin's name, Liang Shidu's soldiers thought that the cavalry was coming, and they were afraid of Li Yin's prestige, and they suddenly had no intention of fighting again, so they scattered and were defeated.

Duan Decao led the Tang army to chase and flee the enemy for 200 miles, took advantage of the situation to conquer Weizhou, the capital of Liang Division, and captured more than 2,000 men and women and returned.

Soon after Liang Shidu was defeated and retreated, he committed Yanzhou again, because he knew that Li Yin didn't come at all last time, and he was in charge of Duan Decao!

After the last defeat, the thousands of Turks who followed him left him, but Duan Decao was replenished by troops, so at this time, Duan Decao was not inferior to Liang Shidu in terms of troops.

In addition, Liang Shidu was newly defeated and his morale was insufficient, so the outcome of the second battle between the two was already known.

After a fight, Duan Decao once again defeated Liang Shidu, and killed more than 2,000 people, Liang Shidu finally led only more than 100 cavalry to escape, Duan Decao because of the meritorious official worship Zhu Guo, given the title of Pingyuan County Duke, the only bad news is that the deputy chief Liang Li charged too far in this battle, and died in the middle of the arrow.

……

Yang Daosheng, the general of Xiao Milling faction, invaded Xiazhou, Xiazhou was governed by Yiling (now Yichang City), which was the transition zone from the mountainous area of western Hubei to the Jianghan Plain, and was called the "gateway of the Three Gorges", choking the throat of Chongqing and Hubei, controlling Bakui on the top, and leading Jingxiang below, "the water is here and the mountain is here, and the mountain is here and the tomb", so the name is Yiling, and the battle of Shuwu Yiling, which is known as the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms, is happening here.

Xu Shao, the assassin of Xiazhou in the Tang Dynasty, took advantage of the night when Yang Daosheng just arrived in Yiling, and led his troops to attack at night, Yang Daosheng was just defenseless, the soldiers panicked, trampled on each other, and suffered countless casualties, Xu Shao led the men and horses to rush and kill, and returned with a great victory after burning Yang Daosheng's army materials.

After this defeat, Yang Daosheng didn't dare to stay any longer, and retreated in a gloomy manner.

But soon after, Xiao Mo sent his subordinate Chen Puhuan to lead the navy to count the numbers, and traced the river up to attack Xiazhou again, plotting to take the land of Bashu.

At this time, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong have arrived in Yiling, Li Xiaogong wants to follow the previous strategy, according to the city, but Li Jing disagreed, "Last time Xu Assassin Shi won a big victory with a surprise attack, this time the enemy attacked again, there must be some precautions, and the enemy army has many warships this time, the threat to Yiling City is great, if you choose to defend, the process must be very difficult." ”

As soon as Li Xiaogong heard the word "hardship", he immediately couldn't sit still, and hurriedly asked Li Jing: "What does the pharmacist think we should do?" ”

Li Jing stretched out his hand and pointed to a somewhat damaged map, and pointed to a place east of Yiling City, "This place is called Luoyan Beach, which is the most suitable place to moor ships in the east of Yiling, the enemy army from the river will definitely anchor here first, if our army can set up an ambush in advance......"

After Chen Puhuan's sailors arrived near Yiling, as Li Jing expected, they set up a water village in Luoyan Beach, and in order to prevent the Tang army from carrying out another sneak attack, Chen Puhuan also increased the team of night patrols to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Naturally, not all of the water villages built by the army were built on the water, and half of them surrounded the shore for soldiers to land and move.

There are many fishermen's houses on the shore, but Chen Puhuan has sent people to search them one by one in advance, and no enemy troops have been found, so he is relieved to build a village.

However, what Chen Puhuan didn't know was that the Tang army had dug a hidden hiding place under these fishermen's houses in advance, and when the night was dark and the wind was high, the Tang army suddenly attacked and set fire to kill everywhere, and Chen Puhuan suddenly fell into chaos.

At this time, Li Jing and Xu Zhiren, the son of Xu Shao, the assassin of Xiazhou, and his secretary joined the army Li Hongjie, led a large army to arrive, and attacked Chen Puhuan's army inside and outside, Chen Puhuan's army could not resist and retreated in defeat.

Li Jing took advantage of the victory to pursue, Xu Zhiren and the chaos captured the enemy's main general Chen Puhuan alive, and the Tang army pursued the rout army to the border of the two sides, and then returned with a great victory.

After Xiao Mo learned the news, he hurriedly sent troops to guard the two border important places of Anshu City and Jingmen City, and he did not dare to take the initiative to attack Datang in a short period of time.

……

In the Quartet attacking the Tang Dynasty, Liang Shidu and Xiao Milling both sides returned with a feather, Wang Shichong, Li Shimin's army was still halfway, in the face of Wang Shichong's passing, Tang Yizhou governor Zhang Shanxiang resisted the enemy, but the food had been eaten up, and no reinforcements had arrived, so the city fell.

Zhang Shanxiang tried his best to scold Wang Shichong until he died, and later, after Li Yuan heard about it, he sighed: "I'm sorry for the good look, but the good face didn't live up to me." ”

On June 18, Li Shimin led a large army to Xin'an, and immediately sent his generals to attack Heyang City occupied by Wang Shichong, destroying the Yellow River crossing bridge placed by Wang Shichong and returning to the army, greatly boosting the morale of the Tang army.

After that, Li Shimin began to defend the city, slowly looking for opportunities to regain lost territory, and the two sides fell into a back-and-forth attack. After Wang Shichong defeated Li Miquan and occupied the Central Plains, his strength skyrocketed, and he was also a good fighter, so it was not as easy as Liang Shidu and Xiao Mo to defeat.

Therefore, in the Quartet attacking Tangzhong, Wang Shichong's side is temporarily in an undefeated situation.

……

Pei Lin led the army to the Jiexiu realm, and Song Jingang could not hold out with the help of the city. After the provocation under Jiexiu City was fruitless, Pei Lin had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his troops and find a place to camp.

Pei Lin took the generals and strategists to a place called Dusuoyuan (under the Jieshan Mountain in the southeast of Jiexiu County), climbed high and looked into the distance, saw the surrounding scenery was excellent, and couldn't help but want to write a poem, but after only chanting two couplets, he felt a little short of words.

When Pei Lin was slightly embarrassed, the people who came with him were all good at observing words and feelings, so they immediately cheered loudly and helped Pei Lin prevaricate the embarrassing things.

After a while, Pei Lin felt a sense of heroism in his heart, and he pointed to the surrounding terrain and said: "Gentlemen, please see, this place is backed by Jieshan, with a wide field of vision ahead, and there are mountain streams flowing through it, and there is no shortage of water, which is in line with the essence of camping in the art of war. ”

"Wei Guogong is worthy of being a veteran minister who raised troops in Taiyuan and marched into Guanzhong with His Majesty, and his military ability is really rare in the world, and our admiration is like a surging river, endless......" After listening to Pei Lian's words, the entourage didn't think about it, and immediately clapped loudly.
