Xiao Buyi played until nightfall, and then withdrew his troops. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The soldiers came quickly, and the rotation seemed to be very fast.

Xiao Buyi's battle was huge, but the offensive was not violent, except for the white ditch that was mainly filled, the soldiers in the rest of the sections were just going through the motions.

This battle is an official confrontation between Xiao Buyi and Li Tangjun, he wants to see the reality of his opponent first, and then study Li Shimin's true strength.

Xiao Buyi has found that the Tang Army is indeed very different from the Peasant Army, and the biggest difference is in the implementation of discipline!

If it was the bandit army on the side, after this harassing battle, it would have been a long time ago, and there would even be a chance to take advantage of it, but Li Tangjun would not! Li Tangjun strictly carried out Li Daozong's orders, ordering the banner to reach and the golden drum to reach, and the soldiers were like a tide rushing in, attacking terrifyingly.

Dozens of miles of Baigou, Li Tangjun was impervious to wind and rain. Xiao Buyi knew that Baigou was just a barrier, a barrier to wear away his sharpness, and after crossing Baigou, it was the real showdown.

Crossing the river and hitting the middle of the river! Xiao Buyi is looking for gaps, and Li Daozong has always adhered to this strategy.

Li Daozong can let Xiao Buyi cross the ditch, but he can't let Xiao Buyi do it in one go and form a momentum. This white ditch is to stifle the opponent's momentum.

As long as the momentum of the Western Liang army is weak, Li Daozong can of course wait for the Western Liang army to cross the ditch and accumulate strength to fight and defeat the Western Liang army.

Xiao Buyi knew that if the Western Liang Army and Li Tangbing were really facing each other, the outcome would be unpredictable. He was not arrogant, on the contrary, he was walking on thin ice, and now, the bandits have been nearly eliminated, and the victory is still in the two places with the soldiers of the Great Sui Foundation. The two sharpest forces in the world, Xijing and Dongdu, finally collided, and they used to seem to be just hors d'oeuvres, and the battle for the world has finally reached the most critical time.

Xiao Buyi had no gaps to take advantage of, and when he saw that it was already dark, he immediately withdrew.

When Xiao Buyi's soldiers withdrew, Li Daozong breathed a sigh of relief. He lost a lot of feather arrows this time, but the damage to the enemy was not great. He finally found that Xiao Buyi was a difficult opponent to deal with, and he also found that the bitterness did not seem to be at the end yet.

Hurriedly beckoning his subordinates to discuss the matter, Li Daozong said: "Xiao Buyi was unexpected, and suddenly decided to attack us with heavy troops, I don't know what good plan you have?" ”

Li Daozong led elite troops to Baigou this time, and there were three major generals under his command, one was called Qin Wutong, and now as the general of the right military guard, whether it was the battle of Xue Ju or the conquest of Liu Wuzhou, he participated in it, and his achievements were good. The other two generals are called Chen Bin and Cheng Mingzhen, Chen Bin is brave and Cheng Mingzhen is resourceful. The generals sent by Li Yuan to Hebei can be said to have all passed the test of the great war, and they are extraordinary.

This time he had the first confrontation with Xiao Buyi, and the three of them were all fearless. However, although the three of them were not afraid, they were somewhat worried, because they also felt that Xiao Buyi was far from going all out in today's battle. Such an opponent exerted all his strength to attack, and they did not have the confidence to defend Zhao Jun.

Listening to Li Daozong's inquiry, Chen Bin took the lead and said: "Luoyang Gong, the best defense is offense, Xiao Buyi is aggressive, we blindly defend, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand his attack...... If we follow the advice of the last general, it is clear that we can send troops to interfere with the enemy first. In order to block the offensive, our intention is to drag Xiao Buyi, and as long as it is contained for another seven days, the mission can be completed. ”

Li Daozong shook his head and said: "The best defense is to attack, this sentence is only suitable for the two armies to be similar, but in my opinion, if we lose the territory, we have no chance of winning. ”

Both of them are limited to seven days, and obviously have agreements with Li Xiaoji, Li Shimin, etc.

Cheng Mingzhen said: "Attack, our strength is not good, but if you want to delay time, you will have a plan." ”

Li Daozong's spirit perked up, "General Cheng said that it doesn't matter. ”

"Xiao Buyi can attack from Baigou unscrupulously, just because I blindly hold on. Ming said that if this is still the case, he is afraid that the consumption will be serious, and he will eventually be broken. Cheng Mingzhen said: "If there are two teams of strange soldiers tonight, one goes to the Confucius Ridge in the west of Baigou, and the other crosses the water in the east of Baigou, the two roads are divided, and the beacon fire is used as the signal to take turns to attack the Western Liang army, which can block the offensive." ”

Li Daozong was overjoyed and said: "What General Cheng said is extremely true, in this way, the Western Liang army can't take care of the east and the west, and can hope to retreat from the enemy." ”

Qin Wutong said worriedly: "We can send troops to these two places, and of course the enemy can also do it." I'm just afraid of luring the wolf into the house, but it enlightens Xiao Buyi's mind, Xiao Buyi sees that this place is difficult to attack, and would rather take a detour to attack us. When the time comes, we will be attacked on three sides, and the white ditch will not be defended. ”

Li Daozong took a cool breath, "General Qin is right, because Xiao Buyi did not move for a while, he only sent a small number of soldiers to garrison in these two places, if Xiao Buyi really wants to be resourceful and attack us, how can he ignore this method?" General Cheng, you quickly lead 5,000 troops to Confucius Ridge to garrison, and set up more roadblocks to ambush. Chen Bin, you immediately lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to Hushui to pay attention to the movements of the Western Liang army. Now that it is raining and rainy, the water is soaring, it is not easy for the Western Liang army to cross the river, and you have 5,000 people patrolling, so you should be safe for the time being. Ming said that Xiao Buyi attacked, with the beacon fire as the number, in order to reduce the pressure on the main camp. ”

The two generals nodded in unison and acted separately, not daring to slack off.

Li Daozong said worriedly: "If Xiao Buyi is smart, I'm afraid that he will go to Confucius Ridge." ”

Qin Wutong comforted: "The Duke of Luoyang relaxes for the time being, thinking that the three of them have become tigers since ancient times. Xiao Buyi is not necessarily as powerful as the rumors, and Confucius Ridge also has defenders, if there is any change, most of them will turn around. ”

Li Daozong relaxed a little and muttered: "I want to be holy until now...... It's a real opponent. When I saw Xiao Buyi today, I found that he was calm and calm, and he really had the style of a king. ”

At this time, a spy entered the camp and said: "Qiyu Luoyang Gong, it has been found out that the Western Liang army is in the evil tiger ditch thirty miles south of Baigou. But ......" the spy stopped talking.

"But what?" Li Daozong's heart tightened.

"The Western Liang army is extremely strict in the evil tiger ditch, and within twenty miles from his camp to the north, there are countless hidden cards. Thirty-seven of our brothers went out to inquire about their opponents, but only three returned. We know that they are in the village of the evil tiger ditch, or a brother desperately sent back the news, that brother ...... He was already seriously injured and died. The spy said.

Li Daozong slammed his fist on the table, "This Xiao Buyi is too arrogant." When he reprimanded, he was also secretly frightened, terrified of the horror of Xiao Buyi's strength. Xiao Buyi did this, it goes without saying, it is to remain mysterious and exert pressure, and now that he doesn't even know the situation of his opponent, how can he formulate a strategy to deal with it.

Qin Wutong sighed and said: "The opponent is so well guarded, unless the soldiers are dispatched, it is difficult to know his truth or reality. I originally thought that if they said that they would continue to attack Baigou, they would not leave too far, and they might camp dozens of miles away, so we could send troops to attack the camp tonight......"

Li Daozong was dissatisfied: "What's the use of you talking about this now? ”

Qin Wutong was speechless, knowing that Li Daozong had already been anxious, and began to vent his anger with his subordinates. Li Daozong knew that this was not the way, it was dark in front of him, and the spies were powerless, if it went on like this, maybe Xiao Buyi would camp under his nose next time. Before he was about to give the order to continue the investigation, he suddenly heard the sound of drums in the distance! Li Daozong's heart was slightly cold, and without waiting to ask, a general rushed in and said: "Qiyu Luoyang Gong, there is an attack by the Western Liang army!" ”

Li Daozong said angrily: "What about the spies, why is there no news? ”

The general trembled and said: "The enemy is attacking in the upper reaches of Baigou more than ten miles away from here, and we will wait to see the beacon smoke as a signal, and it is estimated that the spies will not have time to pass it on." ”

Li Daozong frowned secretly, but he had already gotten up and left the camp. I saw that the south had shouted to kill, and a strange and sharp voice came from the opposite side, with a metallic texture in the killing sound, which made people feel chilled in the dark night. At this time, a spy rushed to report, "Qiqi Luoyang Gong, the Western Liang army is attacking the camp!" ”

Li Daozong didn't wait for him to tell him, he already knew that something was wrong, and at this time, he was only awe-inspiring, and he had forgotten to lose his temper. Fortunately, Li Tang had already been well-trained, and even before Li Daozong gave orders, a soldier had already passed down the order to resist the opponent like Bai Yue.

It's just that although it didn't rain, but the sky was extremely dark, and it was difficult to see anyone else a few feet away, Li Tangjun was separated by the white ditch, and couldn't see what the opponent was doing, and some of them lit torches, and several feather arrows were shot on the opposite bank, and the arrows fell to the ground screaming, and the torches were extinguished. That kind of environment, killing everywhere, makes people tremble.

Those who still held torches either retreated or lost their torches, and there was a little confusion for a while.

Li Daozong stretched out his hand and drew his sword, stabbed a man who threw away the torch with a sword, and shouted angrily: "Those who confuse the hearts of the army will die!" ”

He drank out, and the surroundings were quiet, and Li Tangjun had stabilized. Qin Wutong shouted, "The shield hand stepped forward to protect it." ”

The footsteps were loud, and the shield bearers formed an iron wall, quickly pushed over, and when they reached the white ditch, they resolutely did not move. The torchbearers were distributed in twos and threes, and on the edge of the white ditch, a fire dragon spread out, and in the dark night, it was quite magnificent.

Qin Wu channel: "Luoyang Gong, there will be a plan to stop the enemy in the end." ”

"Say!"

"In fact, the intention of the Western Liang Army is to create chaos, but it is not necessarily a heavy attack. In the darkness of the night, we can't see our opponents clearly, and they can't see us clearly. In this case, we don't need to be motivated by this effort, we only need to tie up the wooden people and set up torches to be suspicious soldiers, if the Western Liang army bluffs and sees that there are soldiers guarding, they will not attack. ”

Li Daozong thought about it for a while, and it was reasonable, "Then you quickly order the soldiers to do it." ”

Qin Wutong retreated, Li Daozong only heard the shouting of killing becoming more and more high-pitched, like thousands of troops, and for a while he really didn't know how many soldiers and horses the opponent had, but he didn't dare to be careless.

Of course, he didn't know that Xiao Buyi deceived him and didn't dare to send troops, so he blew the horn again. But he knew that the Xiliang army began to send shrimp and toad carts to fill the soil again, and these people were so persistent, as if they must pave a road in the next few days, and then follow this road to formally confront Li Tangjun.

In the dark, Li Daozong saw that there were many people, and the shrimp and toad cart flashed from time to time, and his heart was tight for a while, and he ordered the soldiers to strictly guard against it, and as soon as there was an emergency military situation, he would immediately report it.

The sound of the horn stopped, and the drum beat again, as if on the opposite side of the white ditch, thousands of troops and horses were killed. Li Daozong didn't even care about sneering, frowned and turned back to the camp, thought for a moment, and then took up a pen to repair a letter, and ordered the soldiers to urgently send Li Xiaoji to the river, inform the military situation here, and ask for Li Xiaoji's support.

**Xiao Buyi is in the mainland at the moment.

He used the tactics of harassing the enemy for a long time, and he just deceived Li Daozong and did not dare to send troops, so he made a big fanfare. Tonight, the troops he dispatched were only thousands, but the momentum was immense, and in Li Tang's opinion, there were really thousands of troops.

Looking at the map in front of me, there is an arrow on the side of Confucius Ridge and Hushui, pointing to the camp of Li Tang's army on the other side of Baigou.

In fact, Qin Wutong said well, Xiao Buyi wants to fight the opponent on that side, in addition to filling in the white ditch, it is to take a detour. However, the road to Confucius Ridge is rugged, and the muddy water is not suitable for passing, so Li Daozong seized the geographical advantage here and threatened the Western Liang army on the mainland, which can be said to be a move to wait for work.

Qin Shubao suddenly entered the account, and his expression was excited.

Xiao Buyi raised his head and asked, "What about Li Shimin?" ”

Qin Shubao said: "Li Shimin still does not move, but the distance of more than 100 miles is not far for him. ”

"Do you think it won't take much time for him to attack Liu Heimin from Fox Lake?"

Qin Shubao nodded, "That's true, because his Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers are taken from the horses of the Xue family's army, and they can be ranked in the top three in the world regardless of speed and resistance." Now in the world, in addition to the elite cavalry of the King of Western Liang, as well as the Turkic iron cavalry, only Li Shimin's cavalry can be called excellent. ”

"Li Shimin is not moving, what about Li Xiaoji, is there any movement?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Li Xiaoji and Liu Heimin fought against Tuoshui, but they sent troops to force their way across Tuoshui from 30 miles away, and now they are in the southwest of Liu Heimin's department. Lee Hyo-gi is the same as we attack Lee Dojong, which is to stretch the front and wait for an opportunity to attack from a weak place. However, Liu Heimin's troops were far inferior to Li Daozong's, and there were no troops at all to restrict Li Xiaoji's forced crossing from the upper reaches of Tuoshui. ”

Xiao Buyi frowned, "Li Xiaoji is in the southwest?" Isn't that in the upper reaches of Tuoshui? He looked a little hesitant, obviously confused about some things, Qin Shubao had been following Xiao Buyi for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "King Xiliang has also come up with their plan?" ”

"It's just skeptical, I've been unsure. But they went down like this, haven't they thought about it......" Xiao Buyi stopped talking, saw Qin Shubao's eyes shining, and asked, "Of course you also thought of their methods?" I was filling in the white ditch when I thought of their intentions! ”

Qin Shubao nodded, "I thought of it from the actions of more than a thousand Li Tang troops near Lushan, and the intentions of those people are now somewhat obvious. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled: "You might as well write out the method and see if you think the same thing." In this way, even if they are different, they can refer to each other. ”

Qin Shubao nodded and said, "Okay!" He picked up the pen in the palm of his hand and clenched his fist and stretched it out. Xiao Buyi also wrote two words and stretched out his fist.

The two stretched out their five fingers at the same time, Xiao Buyi's palm wrote the word 'water attack', while Qin Shubao's palm wrote 'flooding'! The two looked at each other, knowing that their thoughts were similar, but they didn't smile, but they couldn't bear it.

"Is Li Shimin really so cruel?" Xiao Buyi muttered to himself.

"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things." Qin Shubao said: "They want to defeat the Hebei army as soon as possible, and there is only one way." You must know that although the Hebei Army is weak, the current revenge must not be ignored, they mourn the soldiers to fight, and Li Tangjun is eager to take down the Hebei Army. But Li Tangjun obviously understood that time was running out. ”

Seeing that Xiao Buyi was silent, Qin Shubao said slowly: "King Xiliang, if you want people to die eventually, it doesn't matter how you die. ”

Xiao Buyi frowned and asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

Qin Shubao picked up the pen again and wrote four words on the table. Then he put down his pen and waited for Xiao Buyi to answer.

Xiao Buyi's eyes stared, looking at the four words on the table, his face became extremely strange.

Qin Shubao said: "Li Tang has always been invulnerable, but now Li Shimin is eager to win, but he gives us a chance." ”

"Is this really an opportunity?" Xiao Buyi sat down and sighed.

Qin Shubao was silent, and only after a long time did he say: "The plot is mine, and the decision is of course in the King of Xiliang!" ”

Xiao Buyi turned his head and looked out of the tent, the rain was dripping, and the river had risen a little more. The wind blew intermittently, and the fallen leaves turned a little yellower.

**Li Daozong's secret report, still in the middle of the night has arrived at Li Xiaoji's desk, Li Xiaoji just looked at a few times, and then sent the secret letter to the northeast of the fox lake, although the terrain is rugged, the road is difficult, but before dawn, the letter has arrived at Li Shimin's desk.

Li Tang and the three of them fought in three places in Hebei, and the three points were connected in a similar straight line from southwest to northeast, and they had been exchanging news.

Li Shimin stayed awake all night. He was also accustomed to this kind of life, and before every big war, he was indescribably excited, and he couldn't sleep all night.

When he saw the secret letter from Lee Hyo-gi, his excitement turned into calmness.

Xiao Buyi's heavy troops attacked Zhao County, Li Daozong was difficult to resist, and it was difficult to send troops when he was suppressed, so he asked Li Xiaoji to send troops to attack Xiao Buyi's back road to relieve the pressure on Baigou.

Li Shimin knows Li Daozong's strength, and he also understands Xiao Buyi's current horror. But he didn't expect that as soon as Xiao Buyi sent troops, Li Daozong showed signs of exhaustion. Xiao Buyi! When Li Shimin read the name, he clenched his fists.

Recently, although he went to Youzhou and recruited Anduo County, he seemed to be as imposing as a rainbow, but he was not happy in his heart.

A voice kept shouting in his heart, your exploits are actually just sitting back and enjoying them! He was angry, he hated, and although he had become more and more calm on the surface, his joy and anger were invisible, but his heart was already full of anger.

Li Yuan, who was far away in the pass, seemed to understand his anger, and even repaired a letter to comfort him personally.

As for Li Xuanba's killing of Dou Jiande and Luo Yi, Li Yuan only said in the letter that he didn't understand why there were such rumors, could it be Xiao Buyi's conspiracy?

Li Shimin is not Li Yuanji, he doesn't believe it, but he still pretends to believe it, and even writes back to comfort his father, telling his father, 'The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.'" Walk above others, and all will not! He Li Shimin also does not believe in these rumors, the world is made, and it is definitely not rumors that can be influenced. He asked Li Yuan to rest assured that he would soon deal with the Hebei Army, and then fight Xiao Buyi! ’

After Li Shimin replied to the letter, Li Yuan was very pleased, and wrote back to seal Li Shimin.

But Li Shimin did not have the calmness in the letters, on the contrary, when he dreamed every day, Li Xuanba's face would appear in front of him, either gloomy, or encouraging, or bloody, or skinny.

In the past, Li Shimin only had respect for Li Xuanba, because he knew that Li Xuanba exchanged his surname for the Li family's survival time, and no matter who the Li family was, they should be grateful. But now Li Shimin's respect is mixed with an annoyed emotion, he has been thinking in his heart, death is death, why is there so much fame?

Is Li Xuanba dead? Li Shimin didn't know, but he wanted to know!

But he can't care too much now, and he doesn't expect Li Xuanba to help him at all, what he hopes is that in the future, people in the world will talk about him Li Shimin, and only say that he Li Shimin, instead of relying on his father and brother's snort! Therefore, he must win this battle and not rely on anyone's strength!

I didn't want to discuss it with the generals, Li Shiming had already made up his mind, and quickly replied with a letter, asking Li Xiaoji to temporarily divide his troops to attack the mainland, with only one intention, that is, he didn't want Xiao Buyi to interfere in the affairs of Hejian. However, Li Shimin had already matured a lot, and instructed Li Xiaoji to send spies to pay close attention to the movements of the Western Liang army. If there are soldiers of the Western Liang through the letter capital, they should be communicated in time.

Li Shimin knew Li Xiaoji's ability, and he didn't think that the Western Liang Army would fly over.

After giving these orders, Li Shimin ordered his subordinates to closely monitor the movements around him, and if there was an enemy attacking, he should be the first to communicate.

Stretching comfortably, Li Shimin sighed at this time, he is ...... now Everything is ready, it only takes two or three more days!

**Li Tangjun forcibly crossed Tuoshui, and now camps not far from the Hebei Army!

The Hebei army knew the news and did not have the slightest fear. But after Liu Heimin learned the news, he was secretly worried. He already knew Le Shou's thoughts, and he also knew that the Hebei army could not last long, and the food in the army had been exhausted.

Jingcheng and Qingchi in the east are already the last aid of the Hebei Army, what to do when they run out of grain and grass, Liu Heimin has not thought about it at all!

People live, many times, they can't think too much.

In fact, Liu Heimin also knew that Li Shimin, Li Xiaoji, and Li Daozong were besieging him on three sides, and the current situation in Qilijing was extremely bad, but he couldn't say a word at all!

At this time, none of the people who remained in Qilijing thought about retreating!

They stay here and just want to fight! Fight for the grief and indignation in your heart! Fight for the sorrow of your heart!

If you don't fight, you'd rather die!

Liu Heimin has already been released, he is expected by everyone, although he is tired, but he can't retreat. He finally understood Dou Jiande's mood, but he had reached the same point as Dou Jiande, and there was no way back.

Although Liu Heimin had divided his battalion and sent out to let Qiqiu resist Li Tang's army who had forcibly crossed Tuoshui, he was already at the point where he had no generals available. Just when he was upset, the curtain was lifted, and two people walked in side by side.

When Liu Heimin saw it, he was surprised and delighted. The dark face of the person on the left hand is similar to him, it is his younger brother Liu Shishan, and the person on the right hand, carrying a gun bag, is actually the rumored Luo Shixin who is dead in Liyang!

Liu Heimin has a younger brother, but he never wants his younger brother to participate in the uprising, in fact, because in his selfish heart, he still wants to preserve a little blood of the Liu family. Although Liu Shishan's martial arts skills are not bad and he is proficient in the art of war, he is unknown in Hebei. In this situation, Liu Heimin had already wiped out a little bit of mustard with Luo Shixin, but blamed his younger brother and said, "Shishan, why are you here?" ”

Liu Shishan stepped forward quickly, grabbed his eldest brother's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, didn't you say since you were a child, a great husband who stands up to the sky and the earth, should be happy in life, and have no regrets in death!" At this time, if I don't come, how can I stand between heaven and earth, and what joy will I have in the future? ”

Liu Heimin was blaming, but when he heard what his younger brother said, he suddenly rushed up with blood, and he was sad to save the world!

Life can be happy!

There are no regrets in death!

These eight words filled his chest, and for a while, he was worried and irritable, and his depression was left behind, Liu Heimin said in a deep voice: "Okay, life can be happy, death without regrets, the man is based on heaven and earth, he should ask for this battle!" ”

(To be continued)
