Xiao Buyi has rarely led the army personally. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he personally conquered Hebei, he was more involved behind the scenes, giving advice and boosting morale. As for the siege of the city and the seizure of the county by Kexian, it was handed over to his generals to deal with.

Hearing that Xiao Buyi was going to attack Li Daozong with heavy troops, Qin Shubao frowned. Xiao Buyi asked, "General Qin, you don't agree?" ”

Qin Shubao groaned: "The current situation in Hebei is complicated. ”

"I know."

"As far as I know, the participating forces include Li Tang, the remnants of Hebei, us, and the Turkic soldiers."

Xiao Buyi nodded, and said with a smile: "I can actually bet with you that these Turkic soldiers will not send troops." ”

Qin Shubao was surprised and said: "Why is the King of Western Liang so sure, do you have a backup move on the Turkic soldiers?" ”

"Nope." Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "But the Turkic soldiers are used to being comfortable, comfortable, and flattered." They don't take the Central Plains people seriously, because they are begged to send troops, and they send troops to gain and show off, not to suffer crimes. How could such a soldier send troops in such weather? ”

Qin Shubao smiled dumbly, "Although I believe in the judgment of King Xiliang, I can't help but make some preparations. However, according to the news, after the Turkic soldiers passed through Changping, they have been operating near the northernmost Zhuo County, which is indeed still a little far away from us. At present, we are going north to deploy troops in the mainland Ze and Gaojibo, echoing from east to west, and looking north from Zhangshui to Li Tang and the Hebei army fighting, it can be said that we are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight. And Li Tang's army has been attacking fiercely recently, and there are Li Daozong's troops against us in Zhao County, which is adjacent to our north, and Li Tang's troops are lurking. And the north of Zhao County and Xindu, from west to east, are the three counties of Hengshan, Boling and Hejian, Li Xiaoji's army is separated from Xindu, and is stationed on the bank of Tuoshui more than 200 miles northeast of Zezhi on the mainland of our garrison, where it can be said that Li Tang's heavy troops are located, Li Shimin led the Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers into the river, and the direction is in the northeast of Li Xiaoji. ”

Qin Shubao's efforts to speak have already drawn the spheres of influence of the two sides on the map.

Zhangshui can be said to be the natural division of Hebei into two parts, north and south, the West Liang army in the south of Zhangshui, heavy distribution. The distribution of Li Tang's army in Hebei is also an inverted trapezoidal shape in the north of Zhangshui, with Zhaojun and Xindu as the base. Hebei was originally the foundation of the Hebei Army, but the current Hebei Army is extremely miserable, accounting for only half of the land between the rivers, in the waist of the inverted trapezoid.

Xiao Buyi listened to Qin Shubao's analysis, nodded and said, "What you said is already very clear, but I already know this." ”

Qin Shubao said cautiously: "Right now, the decisive battle site of our multiple forces is here......" Drawing a circle in Qilijing in the northwest of Leshou, Qin Shubao said: "That is, using Liu Heimin as the breakthrough point." We relied on Liu Heimin as a sharp knife to resist the swarm of Li Tang's army to the south. And Li Tang obviously wants to pull out this nail and pour it into our territory. ”

"Liu Heimin probably didn't expect that he would become so important." Xiao Buyi muttered.

"He didn't expect it, but everyone else thought of it." Qin Shubao said: "Although I don't know the true intentions of Li Shimin and Li Xiaoji at the moment, judging from the current distribution, they should take advantage of the sharp energy of Youzhou to complete their efforts and destroy the Hebei Army in an all-round way!" Then on the front line of the Zhanghe River in Hebei, they will have an all-out confrontation with us. If they can take advantage of the situation to destroy our army, occupy Hebei in an all-round way, and then draw the Yellow River as the boundary to form an encirclement of the eastern capital, then the situation is not optimistic for us. ”

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "It makes sense." ”

"If they are allowed to make the trip, coupled with the southward movement of the Turkic soldiers, although we may not necessarily lose, but the losses will be heavy, so in my opinion, we should help Liu Heimin, and not let him perish without help, our great enemies are Li Shimin and Li Xiaoji, not Li Daozong, who should be heavily attacked in Zhao County and does not play a decisive role. If we want to fight Guanzhong, we must first go down to Hedong, and if we want to go down to Hedong, we must take Hebei. Against Li Tang, we must use the sharpest soldiers in the most critical duel. ”

Qin Shubao analyzed the current situation in detail, cautiously stated his opinion, and then looked at Xiao Buyi expectantly.

He knew that Xiao Buyi would definitely give him an explanation.

Xiao Buyi said: "General Qin, what you said is not much different from General Li's analysis. ”

Qin Shubao raised his eyebrows, "General Li is now crusading against Shen Faxing, can he have eyebrows?" ”

The world is in turmoil, and the bandits in the south of the Yangtze River are swarming, but since Wang Shichong defected to the Eastern Capital, the Jianghuai bandits have been pacified, and the bandits south of the Yangtze River are only Shen Faxing's family.

And Shen Fa is reluctant to breathe, and there is no place to turn over. But Li Jing has not yet defeated Shen Faxing, which makes Qin Shubao somewhat surprised. However, he knew that Li Jing and Xiao Buyi were both wise people, so he asked casually.

Xiao Buyi smiled slyly, "General Li is about to make his way." ”

Qin Shubao was a little ashamed and said, "If General Li comes to Hebei, maybe there is a better way." ”

Xiao Buyi shook his head and said, "If you want to send out regular soldiers, it's much the same." General Li is winning by surprise, he has always been very concerned about Hebei, our strategy and his suggestions, almost once a day or two, for you to occupy the mainland Ze and Gaojibo, he is very agreeable. But I have to ask, what is Li Daozong's purpose? ”

"Restrain us from sending troops to aid the Hebei Army and disrupt the war situation." Qin Shubao said without hesitation.

Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "This is the result they expect most, so we must fight, and we must beat hard, and let them know that we are held back by them." And not only are they holding us back, but we also want them to start reinforcements. If we suddenly increase our troops in Hejian, we are afraid that we will be involved in this bottomless pit, and we will never know how many troops we will invest will be the end, but if we can make Li Daozong cry out for help and draw out Li Tang's troops in Hejian, in fact, the result will be much the same. ”

Qin Shubao finally smiled, "I understand what the King of Xiliang meant, they want to attract your troops, so you want to fight back in the other way, drag down their forces with heavy troops, and then seek something else?" ”

Xiao Buyi smiled: "That's right! ”

Qin Shubao said: "Then what are we hesitating about, the battle situation in Tuoshui is urgent, I don't know when the King of Xiliang is going to send troops?" ”

"Right now!" Xiao Buyi said without hesitation.

**The rain has been falling, sometimes slowly.

When the Western Liang army lurked, it was like a crouching tiger, and when it sent troops, it was like a predatory cheetah!

As soon as Xiao Buyi said that he would send troops, Uncle Qin arranged it, and then Lu Luze moved. It was an extremely orderly state, and after all these years of conquest, the Western Liang Army had been operating like a machine in many cases.

This kind of machinery is not blunt, but forms a terrifying law.

If you look down from the southeast of Qianyan Mountain, you will find that the continent, which was originally as silent as death, suddenly becomes fluid.

It was not the swamps and muddy water that flowed, but the Xiliang Iron Army.

The iron army flowed out of the iron camp in a row, out of the mountain corners, through ravines, and through streams. Then it merged into a torrent in front of the Thousand Words Mountain, surging forward.

The rain also seems to be swept up in the torrent, and the emotions are shaken.

The army marched, and there was no sound except footsteps, horses' hooves, rain falling, banners hunting. The march of the army was extremely immense, but there was an unspeakable silence in the vastness, which echoed in the heavens and the earth, and formed a terrifying force to push the army forward.

That kind of silence, that torrent converged in Qianyan Mountain, and then rushed all the way to the north, rolling in the direction of Baigou!

**The Western Liang Army has sent troops from the mainland!

The Western Liang Army is heavily attacked!

The Western Liang Army dispatched at least 30,000 cavalry and infantry horses to attack in the direction of Baigou!

The Western Liang Army is still increasing its troops, and the reinforcements are unknown, because the spies in front have disappeared, and they are suspected to have been killed by the assassins sent by the Western Liang Army!

Li Daozong's brows were furrowed, as if he was facing a great enemy. The drums in the camp were loud, and Li Tang's army dispatched troops efficiently and quickly, and quickly lined up in Baigou to meet the first major battle that Li Tang and Dongdu began in Hebei.

Li Tang was strictly disciplined and dispatched troops in an orderly manner, which can be said to be indistinguishable compared to the Western Liang army.

When Li Daozong sent out the troops, he couldn't help palpitating, he didn't expect Xiao Buyi to really move seriously.

Xiao Buyi's fierce dispatch made him extremely frightened. Originally, the two armies were at war, knowing themselves and knowing each other, and winning all battles. The Western Liang Army had spies to spy on his military situation, and of course he also arranged for people to pay attention to Xiao Buyi's movements on the left side of Qianyan Mountain early.

As soon as Xiao Buyi sent out the troops, his first wave of spies had already passed the news, but he didn't expect that after only four rounds of news, many spies from Mainlandze to Baigou had disappeared.

Killed by Xiao Buyi's faction? Li Daozong thought of this, how could he not be frightened?

Sending troops in this weather, Xiao Buyi is crazy? Li Daozong secretly complained bitterly, but he couldn't help but prepare for war. In fact, he didn't think that Xiao Buyi would send troops, his containment was just an expedient measure, and he didn't think that Xiao Buyi would give up Le Shou and attack him with heavy troops.

He couldn't think of it, so Xiao Buyi sent troops.

Isn't it a lot of time to send troops that the opponent can't think of?

This time, the Western Liang army dispatched not only cavalry and infantry, but also assassins who killed the opponent's spies. These people are also obviously extremely efficient, clearing the opponent's eyes in a very short period of time, leaving the opponent in a state of stagnation.

At the moment, Li Daozong was at a loss in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether the opponent was feint or overwhelmed. The opponent has sent 30,000 troops, and the reinforcements are constantly ongoing, so he can't be cautious.

The Western Liang Army is only thirty miles away from Baigou!

The vanguard cavalry of the Western Liang Army is only fifteen miles away from Baigou!

Ten miles, five miles...... News kept coming, and the newly dispatched spies shuttled back and forth, listening to the sound of hooves and avoiding them. The air was filled with the smell of a stormy war. The wind and rain seemed to be shaken by the murderous aura, and they took refuge for the time being, not daring to stop at a distance of ten miles.

Then Li Daozong didn't have to wait for the military situation, he had already heard the rumbling of hooves. The rain was flooding, and there was no dust and smoke in the sky, but the sound of hooves like rolling thunder was already thrilling.

The Western Liang Army was not bluffing like Li Tangjun some time ago, but accumulating strength to attack!

The situation is clear, but Li Daozong is still hesitating, does he want to resist through Baigou?

Although responsible for containing the army of the Eastern Capital; Although he claims to be in the younger generation of the Li family, he is not inferior to Li Shimin, but unfortunately his life is not good; Although he has been preparing for a while, because of the habitual surname of confrontation, Li Daozong always feels that the opponent will not come hard. Because of these ideas, he has always used Baigou as a natural barrier, and set up camp behind Baigou to make defensive fortifications, but before Baigou, he never had the idea of doing fortifications.

In fact, Li Tang has been suppressed for too long, whether it is the shallow water plain or Baibi, or the current Hebei, many times it is still mainly to fight a protracted war, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is raging all over the world, Li Daozong is very unconvinced.

This is a kind of contempt in the bones.

What is Xiao Buyi? A horse official who started a family, barely climbed the horse dealer of the emperor's relatives, and was arrogant and domineering after getting the opportunity, such a person, a nouveau riche, how can he compare with the elegance and nobility of the gate valve for hundreds of years?

Li Daozong wanted to fight across the ditch, but finally reason suppressed the surname, and he had to defend the main thing. He came here to attract Xiao Buyi's army, and now that he has achieved his goal, even if he succeeds, why bother to be bored with himself?

Li Daozong finally ordered to fight according to Baigou!

With the order, Li Tangjun had already rushed to Baigou, looking at the south with fierce eyes, waiting for the appearance of the Western Liang army.

The white ditch is a natural ground crack, the widest place reaches nearly ten zhang, there are several zhang deep, the strange stones and thorns in the ditch are all over the place, now after the heavy rain, the ditch is chaotic, full of debris. This kind of natural defense, coupled with Li Tangjun's well-trained combat, in the eyes of Li Daozong, was enough to resist the opponent.

The Western Liang army finally arrived, and the first to rush to the side of Baigou was a team of cavalry like the wind.

The silent cavalry, with a shout, did not rush to attack, but dispersed to both sides. Immediately afterwards another group of cavalry appeared, lined up along the white ditch. They are obviously experienced, and they are a stone's throw away from Li Tangjun's army, and they have never stepped forward.

Li Tangjun's long bow was twisted, ready to go, and it could be seen that the opponent's position could only be endured, and they couldn't waste feather arrows to do useless things in vain. If the opponent does not attack, they can wait, wait for a day, or a year!

Li Daozong frowned secretly, and said in his heart that these cavalry are well-skilled, but they are worthy of their reputation, and Xiao Buyi's fame is by no means without reason.

The two teams of cavalry made Li Daozong put away his contempt, and he could see that the cavalry was arrayed, neither attacking nor retreating, and the statues were lined up on the opposite side of Baigou, and they didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling for a while.

There continued to be cavalry supplements, and in half an hour, it had reached seven or eight thousand cavalry.

Li Tangjun was already in a daze.

The Western Liang Army didn't seem to want to fight, but it was more like showing off.

They knew that Xiao Buyi was born as a servant and a young servant, and he was an official who raised horses, but they never dreamed that Xiao Buyi could casually take out seven or eight thousand cavalry.

Whether these are the invincible and invincible black-armored iron horses, no one knows for the time being. But everyone knows that at the moment, with horsepower, seven or eight thousand cavalry can be pulled out casually, except for the Turks, only the Western Liang army has this capital.

Li Daozong was secretly frightened, and asked the soldiers to be on standby, and the Xiliang iron cavalry lined up in Baigou, hunting with banners, and staring at him, but there was no movement.

It's just that there are still non-stop reinforcements of troops, and they begin to line up along the white ditch.

Li Daozong frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Buyi's gourd. Up to now, he has not been able to send spies, because south of Baigou, there are all Xiliang iron horses.

He didn't know how many people there were in the Western Liang Army, and he didn't know how the Western Liang Army was going to attack. Looking at the Xiliang Army over there, he could only be sure that no matter how powerful the horses of the Xiliang Army were, they couldn't jump over this ditch and fly over!

When the Western Liang army did not fly over, a group of cavalry came in the distance, waving the flag, and the first flag, with gold edges and black background, was embroidered with a big 'Xiao' on it!

When Li Tangjun saw it, he was slightly shocked, but he still stood still, showing extremely good quality.

Everyone knows that the only person in the Western Liang army who is qualified to use this kind of banner is Xiao Buyi, the king of Xiliang!

Xiao Buyi actually came to this white ditch with white water and gray water in the rain in the rain in person?

Li Daoxuan's heart tightened for a while, staring at the man in the golden helmet and armor under the other party's banner. Although he is not convinced by Xiao Buyi, he can't help but say that Xiao Buyi looks like a horseman, and among thousands of horses, he looks more like a king than anyone else.

The kind of arrogant and invincible kingly aura that looks down on the world can be sprinkled like a drizzle even across the white ditch. Xiao Buyi was surrounded by more than a dozen generals, and behind the generals were three hundred knights in black armor and black armor, but on both sides were all iron horses, guarding Xiao Buyi like stars and moons.

Xiao Buyi ignored Li Tangjun on the other side as if he were nothing, and took a few generals to point at this side arrogantly.

Li Daozong's heart was on fire, and he couldn't wait to rush across the white ditch and strangle this Li Tang's great enemy. But he knew that he was the boss, and it was not for nothing that Li Yuan sent him to fight Xiao Buyi, so he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Bring the qin." ”

The soldier was slightly stunned, but quickly turned around to take the piano, set up the case, and propped up the oil umbrella.

Li Daozong sat down slowly, brushed the strings with his hand, and with the sound of 'Zheng', the sound of the piano cracked through the clouds in the rain of the two armies. With another flick of the hand, the sound of the piano sounded, like a knife and a gun.

Li Tangjun was speechless, Xiliang Jun was silent, everyone could see that Li Daozong was showing leisurely and provoking the opponent to come out.

If the Western Liang army could not hold its breath to attack, Li Tang's army could take advantage of the situation to kill them in Baigou.

The terrain in front of Baigou is open and can accommodate thousands of troops and horses. However, Baigou is a gap of more than 100 miles long from the Confucius Ridge dozens of miles away in the east to the confluence of the Hushui and Zhangshui in the west, which is really an excellent defensive terrain.

When Li Daozong sent out his troops, he had already ordered the soldiers to build a pontoon bridge, and of course the pontoon bridge had already been dismantled this time, and he would not give the Western Liang army a chance to build a pontoon bridge.
