Of course, Wen Shimao has not been idle these days, he has mainly done two things: first, he is dealing with Liu Hao, borrowing a cavalry from the east of the river to copy Yang Hao's back road, Liu Pan captured Xia Sui and Suining within half a month, the world shook, Liu Wei is not blind and deaf, and it is impossible to pretend not to hear, he has the intention to copy Yang Hao's back road, and he is afraid that he will not die if he fights the tiger, but will be devoured by the tiger, and he is even more afraid that his own family will fight, so that others will get cheap, with this concern, he can only watch from the wall,

Now Wen Shimao took the initiative to borrow the road to plagiarize Yang Hao's back road, he just couldn't ask for it, but he also had his concerns, it was okay to borrow the way, there can't be too many soldiers entering my Hedong, it's easy to send God to God, don't put yourself in, not only can you not have too many soldiers in Shence, but you also have to be under my surveillance.

After some bargaining, Liu Wei finally agreed to Wen Shimao's second division, Jiang Yule's 7,000 people to attack Linzhou through Hedong, the reason why he chose Linzhou, Wen Shimao naturally had his considerations,

The second thing Wen Shimao did was to march with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the dense forests of Chongshan, his goal was Suizhou, as long as he captured Suizhou, it would be equivalent to cutting off the back road of Liu Pan and Zheng Huatai, at that time, the main force of the Shence army would attack the three cities of Suining from the east, west and south, and give him a gate to beat the dogs, swallowing mountains and rivers,

Almost all the generals opposed him personally leading the troops to Suizhou, but Wen Shimao's mind was broken, and everyone was helpless, Wen Shimao was already in his sixties, and he had long lost the competitiveness and ruthlessness of young people.

For today's plan, only by putting himself to death, all armies can work together under Qiu Shiliang's unity, he believes that he still has a little weight in Qiu Shiliang's mind, who else can force him to move his attention from the Daming Palace to the northwest of the battlefield that determines the fate of the Shence Army.

After walking through the mountains and ravines for half a month, an army similar to Huazi suddenly appeared under the city of Suizhou, the left-behind general in Suizhou is Wu Cao's brother Wu Xiang, a person with mediocre qualifications, his only available place is to obey Wu Cao's words, loyalty, Wu Cao likes to use such people, without their brains, smart enough, obedient enough,

This army of 30,000 people called Huazi suddenly appeared under the city of Suizhou, Wuxiang panicked for a while, ignorant and at a loss, when Wen Shimao sent an envoy into the city with Wu Cao's warrant and asked him to open the door and let him go, he asked Makubin in a panic: "What should I do." The curtain guest carefully looked at the warrant and asked the envoy, "Is this really a handsome warrant?" The envoy said: "In the army, how can it be child's play, your marshal has already made an appointment with Duke Wen, once the war starts, choose the opportunity to sacrifice the city, and now he is undercover in the thief camp, you just show loyalty, and leave a way back for Marshal Wu in the future." ”

Wu Xiang said: "Then what if you are defeated." The envoy sneered: "Then the general deduced that it was a city that I attacked, and the defenders in your city are only 2,000 people, and I have 30,000, isn't it reasonable to break your city." When Wu Xiang heard this, he read the warrant twice, and then ordered the city gate to be opened, Wen Shimao's army entered the city late at night, and there was no sound of wind for several days, and when the spies of Neisifang found out that Suizhou City had fallen into the hands of Wen Shimao, everything seemed too late,

Wen Shimao erected the banner of the northwest envoy in Suizhou, announced that he was ordered to crusade against the Khitan Wukui Department that invaded the northwest, and after recovering Suizhou, he took advantage of the opportunity of the Khitan main force to go south and the rear troops were empty, and successively captured Huai'an, Fangqu, Dadieguan and other dangerous passes, while gathering Hunzhou City with heavy troops, tightening the pockets, cutting off the road to the north of Liu Pan, Zheng Huatai, Meng Ming, and Yu Yanlu's troops, and on the other hand, sending 10,000 elites of Wang Fulin's department to Xiaochang'an and cut off its supply.

As Wen Shimao expected, as soon as this move came out, it immediately attracted Qiu Shiliang's attention, he had to devote all his energy to the northwest, pay attention to every move on the battlefield, under Qiu Shiliang's strict orders, the various units of the Shence Left Army advanced step by step according to the original plan, and in the blink of an eye, about 100,000 Khitan troops who broke into the town of Suining were besieged in the three cities of Sui, Ning and Qing.

Yang Hao heard that Wen Shimao was sitting in Suizhou and cut off the retreat of the southbound army, and Wang Fulin's department rushed straight to Xiaochang'an, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "Good chess, good chess, Wen Shimao deserves to be the number one general in the world, Lao Tzu has survived for four years, but he still can't be yin." He sat up excitedly, pointed to Zhang Bozhong and said: "Order Zheng Huatai to garrison Gyeongju, Liu Panbu discard all baggage, take advantage of the fact that the various departments of the Shence Army have not yet been encircled, highlight to the south, meet the city without entanglement, and approach Chang'an, so that Meng Ming's department will go west, attack Jingyuan, and follow him if he does not attack the city, and be sure to contain the enemy in Guanxi to go north for reinforcements, so that Yu Yanlu will go east, out of Huayuan, go to Huayin and Weinan, open the east gate of Chang'an, and let the troops of Tongzhou and Tongguan enter the pass, muddy the water, and escort Liu Pan. ”

The orders were sent one by one, and the Xining army's battalion in Yulin could not stay, and they packed up and left the city overnight, and at noon on the second day, Wen Shimao's sixth division occupied Yulin without blood.

Gu Duoli is a brute black, originally the general of the Weiyuan battalion of the Xining Army, after Yang Hao was captured by the Sui Crouching Tiger brothers and sisters, Gu Duoli killed Yao Meng, destroyed the Jinfeng Battalion, rebelled against the Xining Army, and became a thief in Hexi for about a year, and then due to poor supplies, he could not gain a foothold, so he took refuge in Wen Shimao, but he was brutal and difficult to change, several rebellions, several times were extinguished, until the old team Weiyuan Battalion was tossed and scattered, this was honest and obedient, and repeatedly made military exploits under Wen Shimao's account, and gradually won the favor of Wen Shimao, and was about to seal the battle flag of the Sixth Division for a long time. Jiefu rewarded him, (in the battle of Xia Sui in the summer of the third year of Kaicheng, Geng Le and his sixth division were completely annihilated by Meng Ming in Fuyuan County,) At this moment, although his department is also one of the best elites in the Shence army, it is no longer his original Weiyuan battalion team, but a strong force that is mainly infantry and good at mountain warfare.

Gu Duoli searched carefully in Yulin, and said with a smile: "Oh, Yang Hao, this guy, now he has learned to be well-behaved, he runs faster than a rabbit, but unfortunately he is stupider than a pig, and he has worked hard to pull up the belongings in the desert, and he has been defeated overnight, he is really an out-and-out loser." Gu Duoli only rested in Yulin for one night, and then attacked Youzhou, he wanted to go to Xiaochang'an to share a piece of the pie, Wang Fulin blocked the pass and did not let him pass, so he had no choice but to go near and far, and went to Youzhou.

Speaking of Yang Hao, he is indeed a loser, Suizhou lost Yulin less than three days after he lost it, Yulin just lost it, Xiazhou also lost it, and then Youzhou and Xiao Chang'an lost it again, Wang Fulin entered the old camp of the Xining Army of Little Chang'an, and he also expressed the same emotion as him, but unlike Xia and Suicheng, there was nothing to gain, and the Xining Army camp of Xiao Chang'an was full of grain and rice, and there were thousands of cars of gold, silver and jewelry.

Wang Fulin reported to Wen Shimao and explained the matter, but Wen Shimao muttered: "This Yang Hao shouldn't be like this, what tricks is he playing." After thinking about it, the old man suddenly came back to his senses, and he immediately ordered Gu Duoli and Wang Fulin: give up the city and withdraw immediately.

Gu Duoli got nothing, and the army retreated quickly, but Wang Fulin was unwilling, even if the food was gone, these thousands of boxes of jewelry, how could he be willing to throw it down, but if he wanted to carry thousands of boxes of jewelry, the speed of the march would definitely be affected, and he would not be able to eat and walk around if he violated the old man's military order, so he had to wait and bury the jewelry on the spot, because of this, he was half a day later than the original withdrawal time,

This half day changed his fate, changed Wen Shimao's fate, and changed Qiu Shiliang's fate.

According to the original plan, Gu Duoli and Wang Fulin will meet in Qiubazhai 80 miles southeast of Xiazhou City, and join forces to slowly move south, because there is a Gobi Desert with a radius of hundreds of miles from Qiubazhai to Suizhou City, and marching on this open land is very unfavorable to Gu Duoli, which is dominated by infantry, and he must be protected by the wing of the first division.

Gu Duoli looked forward to the stars and the moon, and looked forward to Wang Fulin coming quickly, Wang Fulin did not come but there were many Khitans, there were two thousand cavalry, although these people also played the banner, but they did not look like a regular army in various clothes, but it looked like a newly adapted army of the Khitans, but Gu Duoli did not dare to act rashly, outside the autumn Bazhai a horse Pingchuan, foot soldiers and cavalry fought fiercely on the open flat land, fool talent,

He comforted his subordinates: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, horses can't climb the wall, as long as we hold on until the first division arrives, I'm afraid that he will be a bird." ”

Gu Duoli mouth hard, but the heart of the drum straight drum, the cavalry outside the village more and more distance, the military appearance is more and more neat, almost has become a situation of encirclement, at dusk, the cavalry began to appear in the baggage team, they unloaded the siege equipment from the horse, began to debug and install, these equipment are very delicate, smaller than usual, but it is more than enough to deal with Qiu Bazhai,

Gu Duoli couldn't sit still, he changed his words: "All departments are ready, wait for another half an hour, and if General Wang doesn't come, we will leave first, so as not to get into the night and let these wolf cubs swallow it." ”

He said that he would withdraw the army after an hour, but he was not really waiting for the first division, he was familiar with the weather, observed the clouds in the sky, and knew that there would be a storm after an hour, when it would be dark, people were not easy to walk, and horses were not easy to walk, which could greatly weaken the advantage of the cavalry, plus the advantage of his own troops, he might be able to withdraw to Xia Sui City, but he didn't know that the current Xia Zhou City was still not an empty city, not afraid, even if they had already occupied Xia Sui, waving their troops into the mountains south of the city, they would be able to get out of danger,

Gu Duoli firmly believes that if it is a mountain battle, the Sixth Division will never be afraid of any strong army.

The storm rose, and the Sixth Division began to retreat, and it was impossible to see people clearly on the opposite side of the wind and sand, isn't this kind of weather suitable for retreat, Gu Duoli sighed in her heart: "God treats me well." ”

At dusk, the storm stopped, Wang Fulin's 10,000 cavalry came to Qiubazhai, but what he saw was an empty village, Gu Duoli told him in code words that because of your breach of contract, he did not dare to disobey the military order, and had retreated to Suizhou alone, so he didn't have to wait,

Wang Fulin looked at the weather and said to everyone: "The moonlight is good tonight, we have to travel overnight, don't dare to miss the journey." ”

The first division thus stepped into the Gobi within a radius of 100 miles, they never walked out of the Gobi desert, three days later, the scouts of Suizhou City found them, more than 10,000 corpses stretched for more than ten miles, they were attacked in the center of the desert, after a tragic fight, Wang Fulin ordered to break through in the direction of Suizhou, but the enemy was in hot pursuit, and finally killed the last person more than ten miles away, the scouts did not dare to stay, and hurriedly brought back the news of the destruction of the first division,

On the same day, the news of the annihilation of the 8,000 troops of the Gu Duoli Division also reached Suizhou, the sixth division was besieged by the superior cavalry on a beach 18 miles away from Xia Sui and the whole army was destroyed, the main general Gu Duoli was seriously wounded and captured, after breaking his hands and feet, he was tied to a wooden stake, and the muscles of his limbs were scraped off by a knife, revealing the white bones of Sensen, and he died of cold and starvation in the cold wind.

The destruction of the two divisions was like two heavy fists smashed Wen Shimao vomiting blood and crying, he saw the opponent's chess move, but he couldn't command his own chess pieces, he played chess all his life, how could he have lost so much,

But Wen Shimao is a veteran of Rong Ma's life, sad but not confused, he shrunk the strength of the remaining three divisions to Suizhou, Hunzhou, Huai'an, Fangqu as the base of the narrow area, each other as horns, to defend as an attack, like a fence, blocking the enemy in the north and south, determined to follow Yang Hao to the end,

Yang Hao was indeed a little unbearable, he used his best to break Wen Shimao's two sharp arrows, and his own vitality was greatly injured, and the main force of the Xining Army was completely lost, so he had to resort to the last killer move: the Dingbei Army, which was transferred to the south, to help the battle,

Dazhi Er sits in Dashicheng, not only can deter the various departments of the Mobei grassland, but also can keep an eye on Liu Wei in Hedong, so at the beginning Yang Hao did not plan to dispatch the Dingbei Army to the south, in addition, Yang Hao also has another concern: the Dingbei Army is a grassland tribal army, mainly cavalry, and it is not their strong point to go south for siege warfare; And because the large branch is expanding the army too fast, the composition of the army is too complicated, it is simply a mixture of fish and dragons, mud and sand, and the difference in military discipline is really difficult to satisfy, thinking that in the past, because of the confrontation against Liu Desan in Hedong, Yang Hao had turned to the Barbarian Black Five Division, the barbarian blacks fought bravely, but the disaster was also very dramatic, and everywhere they passed was scorched earth, Yang Hao thought that if the Northern Army went south, the cruelty of the disaster was only afraid that it would not be inferior to the original Barbarian Black Five,

But people are not as good as heaven, Wen Shimao played a good move, and he played a stinky move, and now he can only release this steppe wolf to fight a tiger in the gap.

Under Qiu Shiliang's strict order, about 200,000 people from all parts of the Shence Army gathered in the three states of Suining, and the two states of Suining fell successively, and the city of Gyeongju was also surrounded by water.

Zheng Huatai's 20,000 people were surrounded in the city and could not move an inch, Yang Hao was anxious, and wanted to give Liu Pan, Meng Ming and Yu Yanlu an order to cut off the grain road leading to Suining in Guanzhong at all costs, and once the grain road was cut off, the 200,000 army would be defeated without a fight.

Zhang Bozhong persuaded: "The military aircraft is changing, the commander is thousands of miles away, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, the three generals are all veterans who have been in battle for a long time, they should know the severity, the commander can wait for good news, but the military discipline of the Northern Army is ......."

Yang Hao heard him mention military discipline, waved his hand and said: "What else can I do, let them go to the scourge, the scourge will not grow, they are naturally willing to go back." ”

Zhang Bozhong was helpless when he heard it,
