Chapter 480: The Trap

At the beginning of August, when the news of Wuyang County was broken reached Dou Jiande's ears, he couldn't sit still anymore, but he obviously lost face when he retreated back like this, and sent troops for nearly a month, and he has been hesitant, he wanted to attack Juyeze, but the news brought back by the spies sent made Dou Jiande lose any nature, and Juyeze itself is the world's first easiest place to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not that it can be defeated with many troops, that is, the most prosperous period of the Great Sui is the strength of the government soldiers, and 100,000 people may not be able to attack it. In addition, today's Juyeze has already been built into a Xiongguan by Li Xian, and it is even more difficult to break through it.

Now Dou Jiande finally understood Li Xian's intentions, and also understood why Yanyunzhai had a powerful sailor but did not stop the Xia army from going south at all.

The Xia army marched south with 100,000 soldiers, and Li Xian didn't intend to pay attention to it at all. When 100,000 people entered Dongping County, it was like entering a desert and they couldn't get anything, and with the danger of Ju Yeze, it was impossible for the Xia army to break through. What if he went all the way south and occupied some villages and towns? Ju Yeze is not lost, and Dou Jiande is only in vain after all. But Li Xian fought vigorously in Hebei, he did not aim to seize the territory, only plundered the money and grain of the government treasury, did not move the property of the people, only seized the things of Dou Jiande's official mansion, and left after the fight, never stop.

Dou Jiande has nothing to fight in Dongping County, even if he takes down Yuncheng, it is meaningless, in addition to the defenders in Yuncheng, the people and money and grain have been transferred into Zenei, and occupying an ancient city is a chicken rib for Dou Jiande. He wanted to turn to attack the richer Qi County, but Xu Shiji had already expected to send troops in advance to wipe out Wang Bo's Jibei army, blocking the way for Dou Jiande to enter the army, and Xu Shiji did not take the initiative to attack, but only took a defensive position and was invulnerable.

After Dou Jiande crossed the Yellow River, he suddenly found that Dongping County could take a bite everywhere except Juyeze, but what he bit into his mouth was wood slag, and he had to spit it out sooner or later. To put it another way, it can also be said that there is no need to take a bite everywhere in Dongping County, but you can't gain anything.

The situation he is facing now is that Li Xian seems to have given up the entire Dongping County, but one-third of Dongping County is occupied by Ju Ye Ze, and Dou Jiande, the county west of Ju Ye Ze, can't fight at all, and Li Xian has no intention of defending the several counties east of Ju Ye Ze, and the loss to Dou Jiande is not big, because Dou Jiande can't stand at all.

For a few days, Dou Jiande was worried, if he didn't retreat, the two paths he could choose now would not be easy, or he would turn to attack Qi County and fight to the death with Xu Shiji's tens of thousands of elites, so that he would face a situation where the back road blocked by Juyeze and horses had no way to advance or retreat. Either attack Ju Yeze directly, this choice is basically no different from the ending of the first choice, the only difference is that his back lane is blocked by Xu Shiji.

Only now did Dou Jiande really realize how hasty his decision to enter Dongping County was this time, and he fell into the trap of his opponent from the first step, being passive and restrained everywhere.

A large pie was placed in front of him, fragrant and fragrant. When he rushed over to take a bite, he found that the pie was not wrapped in meat or vegetables, but a huge beast clip, which knocked out Dou Jiande's teeth, but he could only swallow it in his stomach, and he couldn't say that it was bitter.

"Lord ......"

Looking at Dou Jiande with a sad face, the marching commander Shi Kong Deshao wanted to persuade him a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he didn't have a word that could comfort people except for a bitter mouthful.

"Dongping County, chicken ribs, it is a pity to abandon the tasteless food, if there is no Li Thief rampant in Hebei, it will be a harvest to defeat Dongping County, but now Li Thief has conquered four cities in Hebei, if he does not withdraw his army......"

Kong Deshao pondered for a while, but still truthfully analyzed the enemy's situation and said: "Once Wuyang County is lost, Li Thief's men and horses only need to cross the Mache River to approach Guixiang, and if Guixiang is lost, Li Thief can drive straight into attack Zhaozhou." ”

"Lone knows!"

Dou Jiande sighed and said: "But with Song Zhengben sitting in Zhaozhou, even if Li Thief wants to make a move on Zhaozhou, he may not be able to bargain, what he is worried about is that the Southern Expedition army is unstable, in case the river is blocked by Li Thief's sailors again, this time it will really be in vain." ”

Kong Deshao was Dou Jiande's confidant, and he was the one who persuaded Dou Jiande to become king. Among all the officials, he was the most active in Dou Jiande's claim to be king. In Dou Jiande's mind, Kong Deshao's status is at the same level as that of his first minister, Nayan Song Zhengben. At some point, his trust in Condesau was even stronger than his trust in Song Zhengben. Song Zhengben is a person who looks high, if he thinks it is right, even if Dou Jiande opposes him, he will not save face. Moreover, it was his plan to seize Hebei at the beginning, and Song Zhengben, who thought he was the first to take credit, also looked down on Kong Deshao, who could only slap the horse in his eyes.

The biggest difference between Kong Deshao and Song Zhengben is that he is a person who knows what dignity and humility are. Song Zhengben dared to reprimand Dou Jiande in person, relying on some of his old credits, Dou Jiande could tolerate his arrogance at first, but the more he came later, the more disgusted he became. And Kong Deshao would never do anything to embarrass Dou Jiande, because he knew that as a courtier, he must maintain a sense of reverence for the lord.

If it is abandoned by the lord like a piece of, how much credit will there be to manage it?

If there is a difference of opinion in government affairs, a person like Song Zhengben, what he insists on is definitely his own opinion, and Kong Deshao's insistence is that what King Xia thinks, he has a view.

However, Kong Deshao is also a real person, and now the Xia army is in a dilemma, he knows that if he wants to surpass Song Zhengben in the future and become the first minister of Great Xia, it depends on whether he can think of a way to break the situation this time. But he couldn't think about it, the situation was like this, and he knew that there was no way to break it. So he turned to think about how to get the army to retreat and try to minimize the losses of this hasty southward march.

"It's better to leave early! If you retreat as soon as possible, the army can still block the Li thief's men and horses in Hebei, if it drags on for a long time, the minister is worried...... Lord, please forgive the minister, Song Zheng has the talent of the prime minister, but he is not good at military affairs, and he is an opponent with a battle-hardened person like Li Thief, and the minister is afraid that Song Zheng will suffer a big loss! ”

Kong Deshao gritted his teeth and whispered.

Cao Dan, who was on the side, heard these words, and immediately sneered a few times in his heart. He said in his heart that Song Zhengben and you are not compatible, this is a well-known thing, and at this time, you don't forget to take the opportunity to put on small shoes for Song Zhengben. This group of literati who don't understand farts and can only intrigue is disgusting to watch.

It's just that he will never show anything, although he is a person with a rough personality, but in the past few years, following Dou Jiande, the more he has seen, the more he understands.

Dou Jiande glanced at Kong Deshao, shook his head slowly, and said: "I will retreat like this, but I am afraid that it will have too much impact on the morale of the army." Moreover, the people of Yanyun Village are afraid that they have been staring at Gu for a long time, in case they retreat in a hurry, and then they are attacked by Yan Yun's army before and after, and the losses will inevitably be unacceptable! Why don't you know that it's better to leave early if you delay? But I can't help but plan for these 100,000 elite soldiers. Song Zhengben really didn't understand military affairs, but the soldiers and horses in Zhaozhou, Wuyang County, and Wei County added up to no less than 200,000, and Li Xian didn't necessarily dare to go deeper. ”

"Lord, the retreat of the army is bound to retreat, if you want to hold the army intact and withdraw to Hebei, it depends on when the army is withdrawn."

"Oh?"

Dou Jiande sat up straight and asked, "Isn't there already a good plan for the plan?" ”

Kong Deshao pursed his dry lips and said a few words in Dou Jiande's ear, Cao Dan listened but didn't hear anything clearly, but vaguely heard Su Dingfang's name. Without waiting for Kong Deshao to finish speaking, Dou Jiande's face had changed. After being silent for a long time, Dou Jiande's face kept changing. Kong Deshao lowered his head, Cao Dan had doubts in his heart, Dou Jiande finally sighed and nodded, and said to Kong Deshao: "Draw up an edict, and then hand it over to Gu Yongyin." ”

Hearing Dou Jiande say this, Cao Dan was shocked for no reason. A wave of desolation and fear came out irrepressibly, and soon spread to every pore of his body.

……

……

Less than twenty miles away from Yuncheng, is the garrison of Su Dingfang's headquarters of the Xia Army's vanguard battalion, since he arrived in Yuncheng ten days ago, he has been standing still, Dou Jiande sent people to urge him several times, he just excused himself on the grounds that Yuncheng was well defended and suspected of having ambushes.

If he doesn't enter the army, it's not that he really can't take Yuncheng. He shirked the blame, not to mention that he was worried that Yuncheng had a trap set by Li Xian.

He didn't enter the army, just because of these fifteen thousand men and horses, he couldn't fully control it, and his Flying Bear Army was taken away by Dou Jiande on the pretext of going south, and the new team was difficult to compare with his Flying Bear Army. Even if the combat power is equal, how can an unfamiliar team be handed over to him and compete with the Flying Bear Army, which commands like an arm and a finger?

He didn't want to enter the army, and the reason why the command of the novice failed to reach his expectations was a reason, but it was a façade, in fact, the biggest reason was that he was unwilling.

In the past six months, King Xia has changed.

The change unnerved him, it scared him.

Kong Deshao and other civil officials tried their best to promote Dou Jiande to become king, and the selfishness was self-evident. Wang Fubao, the champion general who really thinks about King Xia, although he is rough and direct, is a really knowledgeable person, he persuaded King Xia when he said that now Jiang is controlled by Yu Culture, and the Yuwen family will be opposed sooner or later, when the time comes, Yu Culture and will definitely not allow the Great Cause Emperor Yang Guang, if Yang Guang dies, even if he is a king of the country, but the whole world will not allow Yu Culture and!

At that time, Dou Jiande again played the banner of avenging Yang Guang, saying that Wang Qi's troops went south, and his division was famous, so naturally the support of the big family was indispensable.

It can be said that it is not easy for Wang Fubao, who has never read a book, to have this kind of insight. But he was confused by the fact that he was called the king, and Dou Jiande, who was praised by Kong Deshao and others, ignored it at all, originally Wang Fubao and Dou Jiande's sister Dou Hongxian promised each other, Wang Fubao already wanted Dou Jiande to propose marriage, but because of this matter, Dou Jiande rejected it. Dou Hongxian is a fierce woman, and she quarreled with Dou Jiande a few times, but Dou Jiande just didn't follow. Dou Hongxian knew what her brother meant, as long as Wang Fubao relented himself, resigned from the position of general, and then supported her brother as king, Dou Jiande would definitely agree to the matter of the two of them. And Wang Fubao was absolutely unwilling to hand over his Flying Leopard Battalion, so there was a stalemate, Dou Hongxian couldn't persuade Dou Jiande, so he simply wanted to fly away with Wang Fubao.

This matter was known to Dou Jiande, who asked his wife Cao to guard Dou Hong's line all day long, and then randomly chose a crime to arrest Wang Fubao and put him in prison. Cheng Mingzhen, the county guard of Wei County, wrote a letter to intercede for Wang Fubao, but he was sat down and was also dismissed from his official position and imprisoned.

Since this incident, Su Dingfang's heart has become more and more difficult to settle down.

Wang Fubao was the first person to follow Dou Jiande to fight the world, with countless military achievements, although Cheng Mingzhen is not very qualified, but this person is also very capable, not only very familiar with military affairs, but also very capable of doing civilian work. At the beginning, the richest counties in Hebei were because Cheng Mingzhen learned the method of raising the people in Yanyunzhai Tuntian.

Such two ministers of the humerus, Dou Jiande said that he would take it without hesitation at all, Su Dingfang inevitably felt something, but Dou Jiande treated him well, so he didn't show anything.

Before crossing the river to the south a while ago, he already knew that Dou Jiande wanted him to be the vanguard general. At that time, he was still excited, and he was still thinking about leading the Flying Bear Army to establish immortal achievements. Who would have thought that the first military order he waited for was to transfer him out of the Flying Bear Army, and his best friend Liu Heimin was appointed as a general to lead the Flying Bear Army.

This time, Su Dingfang was really angry.

He knew why Dou Jiande asked Liu Heimin to take over the Flying Bear Army instead of others, it was precisely because Liu Heimin had an excellent relationship with him, if someone else replaced him, the Flying Bear Army would inevitably be dissatisfied, and might even mutiny, but Liu Heimin was his good friend, how could he instruct the people of the Flying Bear Army to embarrass Liu Heimin?

was calculated by Dou Jiande once, and Su Dingfang was as disgusting as eating a dead mouse.

In order to appease him, Dou Jiande gave him a marquis, and also gave him a big mansion in the city of Zhaozhou, and even his wife was rewarded. But these make up for it, Su Dingfang feels even more disgusting. He knew that there must be Kong Deshao and others behind this incident.

The Flying Bear Army is in his hands, the Flying Leopard Army is in the hands of Wang Fubao, the Flying Eagle Army is in the hands of Cao Dan, Wang Fubao was taken, why didn't Dou Jiande want to take back the military power? Cao Dan doesn't need to say it, it will naturally be his turn to Su Dingfang next. Liu Heimin is not only Su Dingfang's friend, but also a close friend who grew up with Dou Jiande since childhood!

Taking back all the military power and handing it over to Dou Jiande's trusted people can only show that Su Dingfang is not trusted!

This feeling of not being trusted is the root cause of Su Dingfang's constant prevarication.

……

……

In the large camp of the pioneer camp of the summer army, Su Dingfang took his own soldiers to inspect the barracks, which was something he had to do every morning, and the same was true in the Flying Bear Army, rain or shine. But the feeling of patrolling the camp has long changed, when he used to inspect the Flying Bear Army, he was proud and proud, but now he patrols the pioneer camp, he is vigilant.

In the past, when he was on patrol every morning, the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army would shout the word "general" every morning, which would make people feel a sense of blood surging every time. And in today's pioneer battalion, although the soldiers seem to respect him very much, those unfamiliar faces make Su Dingfang extremely unsteady.

His confidant Su Lei could see at a glance that the general was in a bad mood today, and he could even see the deep sadness that could not be concealed from the general's eyes.

"General, is something wrong?"

Su Lei asked in a low voice. He is Su Dingfang's younger brother, and he followed Su Dingfang before Su Dingfang returned to Dou Jiande. The relationship between the two is very good, and Su Dingfang will not hide anything from him.

Hearing Su Lei's question, Su Dingfang's expression stiffened significantly.

"Flying Bear Army...... Nope. ”

Su Dingfang said as if talking to himself, he stopped and stood under a big tree, perhaps because of excitement and anger, his face was particularly pale. Su Lei opened his mouth, but only let out a frightened low.

"How...... Possible? ”

Su Lei lowered his voice and said: "Didn't the lord send someone a while ago to say that General Liu Heimin and the Flying Bear Army had crossed the Yellow River and headed south in Jibei County, blocking the Yanyun thief Xu Shiji's men?" Because there is no need to worry about the back road, the lord also urges the general to attack Yuncheng as soon as possible! ”

"Lord?!"

Su Dingfang slammed his fist on the big tree, shaking the big tree that I don't know how many years it had grown, and a lot of leaves fell, followed by Su Dingfang's tears.

"How can the lord tell the truth?"

Su Dingfang endured his anger and lowered his voice and said: "A while ago, the lord sent someone to say that Liu Heimin had crossed the river with the Flying Bear Army, and I was a little suspicious, the Flying Bear Army guarded the north bank of the Yellow River, guarding the retreat of the army!" The Lord has been a soldier for many years, how can he do something that destroys his way out! Transfer the Flying Bear Army to the south of the Yellow River, in case the retreat of the army is blocked by the sailors of Yanyunzhai, at least more than half of the more than 100,000 male soldiers will be trapped to death by the men and horses of Yanyunzhai! ”

"Last night, dozens of surviving soldiers of the Flying Bear Army came all the way to find me, and clearly told me about the defeat of the Flying Bear Army by Yan Yun's light cavalry. That's 30,000 elites! That's more than two years of hard work! ”

Su Dingfang's tears couldn't stop flowing, and the tears of the iron man were much more shocking than the lingering tears of his daughter's family, Su Lei had never seen Su Dingfang cry once in so many years. In his eyes, Su Dingfang is an iron man, and he will never do such a slightly cowardly thing.

"The Great General......

Su Lei swallowed a bitter mouthful, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"The elite of the 30,000 Flying Bear Army was defeated by the 3,000 light cavalry led by Li Xian himself, and it was only half a day from the surprise attack to the annihilation of the entire army, and the Flying Bear Army was erased from the name of the battle flag!"

Su Dingfang looked at the fist that had broken its skin because of smashing the tree hard, and watched the bright red blood flow down the back of his hand.

"Liu Heimin is also dead."

Su Dingfang let out a breath slowly, took the handkerchief handed to him by Su Lei and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"The lord refused to say it because he was afraid of affecting the morale of the army."

Su Dingfang sighed: "So it is normal to block the news that the Flying Bear Army was defeated by Li Xian, but it is my Flying Bear Army, the Flying Bear Army that I have worked hard to train a group of farmers into elite soldiers for more than two years!" ”

"The lord urged me to attack Yuncheng as soon as possible, not that I am afraid that it will be much more difficult to attack the city after the news comes out, after all, the Xia army is all from Hebei, and their fathers, old wives and children are still waiting for their return at home, and now Li Xian personally rode lightly to wreak havoc in Hebei, if the soldiers knew, who would have the heart to attack Yanyunzhai?"

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the soldiers will immediately want to rush home to protect their fathers, wives and children!" Protect your own farmland! ”

"General, do you mean siege?"

Suddenly understood something, Su Lei asked tentatively.

"Attack!"

Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and said: "Attack the city tomorrow, as long as you take Yuncheng, you will immediately retreat north, and then retreat after victory, the people of Yanyunzhai will definitely not think of it." ”

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a messenger running over panting, first met Su Dingfang, and then wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "The lord has a decree to order Su Dingfang's men and horses to attack the city immediately without delay!" ”

Not good!

Hearing this order, Su Dingfang's face immediately changed.

I don't know why, he feels that another trap is about to be put into his neck, and if he is not careful, he may be strangled to death by this rope!
