The news that Luo Cheng was begged to death by Guo Xiaoke spread from the front to the Youzhou Assassin Mansion and placed it in front of Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be taken aback, what surprised him was not that Luo Cheng died in battle, in fact, Luo Cheng became revenge for his father, the hatred of seizing land, and the rash advance of light soldiers was a great risk, and it was not surprising that he died in battle now. It's just that Li Chongjiu didn't expect that in the romance, Luo Cheng was trapped in the mud and sent people to die for Su Dingfang, but when he got here, the scene of Luo Cheng's death in battle was almost the same.

Of course, if you look at it according to the process, from the perspective of the common people, Guo Xiaoke killed Luo Cheng by despicable means because he couldn't win head-on, and he was really a thief.

If according to the result, Guo Xiaoke is the winner, Luo Cheng is young and vigorous, self-contained, and does not put Youzhou in his eyes, Guo Xiaoke does not fight and sets up a trick to kill Luo Cheng, but it is also reasonable.

However, Guo Xiaoke took Luo Cheng's corpse and returned to the Assassin's Mansion, and the generals who questioned him before did not have a good face. Although Luo Cheng is an enemy, he kills the enemy with dignity, and in the battle of Zhuojun, even if he is an opponent, he is also convinced by the courage of the three armies.

And Guo Xiaoke, who is obviously a man in the market, compared with Luo Cheng, he is more unpopular, arrogant and conceited, except for Xu Shiji in the Youzhou Army, no one can put it in his eyes. But this is the kind of person who killed Luo Cheng.

Guo Xiaoke walked all the way into the house, and everyone didn't greet him and avoided him.

Li Chongjiu was indeed very pleased to see Guo Xiaoke, and rewarded him with a brocade robe, a Mingguang armor, a good horse, ten taels of gold, fifty sections of cloth, and a hundred pieces of money, and Guo Xiaoke as the general of the Yiwei Army. In this way, before the battle of the three armies, the merit of killing the enemy is not enough to encourage the soldiers.

What's more, Luo Cheng is not only a strong general in Dou Jiande's army, Dou Jiande's slogan this time is to recapture the hometown of Youzhou for the Luo family's father and son. As soon as Luo Cheng died, where did Dou Jiande still have a mouth to rely on. Therefore, Guo Xiaoke's achievements that can be seen are so remarkable.

Li Chongjiu gave it generously, but Guo Xiaoke was not shocked by honor and disgrace, but looked still inadequate, and asked Li Chongjiu for another fifty jars of Huaihuang wine. Li Chongjiu did not hesitate to reward Huaihuang wine together.

Guo Xiaoke, however, distributed the wine and all the rewards of Li Chongjiu to the soldiers who went out with the army, and did not take a penny himself. Li Chongjiu couldn't help but secretly say when he saw it, it was really Ruying Duoqishi, and the generals of Youzhou also re-acquainted themselves with the personality of this Wagang general.

Goyang City.

The news of Luo Yi's death in battle also reached Dou Jiande's ears.

Zhang Xuansu stepped forward and reported: "My lord, this is General Gao Shixing, impeaching General Luo, saying that he did not obey military orders, violated His Majesty's will, and did not garrison in Zhuo County, but lightly entered Zhuo County, so that he was defeated and damaged the spirit of our army. ”

Dou Jiande took Gao Shixing's recital in his hand, sighed and said: "Everyone is dead, what are you doing with this, Luo Cheng is very brave, and he is broken in Youzhou, and I am really heartbroken." ”

"Your Majesty is right, Luo Cheng's death is hard to blame, but Gao Shixing knew that Luo Cheng was deep, but he didn't send a single soldier, and shirked the responsibility afterwards."

Zhang Xuansu made a generous statement, and then came back to say, "I know that Your Majesty misses the old relationship with the Duke of Donghai, but how can Gao Shixing be compared with his brother, in order to be mediocre, but with Liu Heimin, Gao Yaxian, Wang Fubao and other generals, this time I am ashamed of the important task of the striker, and I beg for a change." ”

Zhang Xuansu looked at Dou Jiande's face, saw that the other party was silent for a while, and said: "If it weren't for the Donghai Gong back then, where would there be today's Dou Jiande and General Gao's affairs, I know it, and I will deal with it in the future, and changing generals in battle will also be detrimental to the morale of the army." ”

Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but sigh secretly, this lord is enough to be called a generation of heroes in all aspects, but Dou Jiande also has shortcomings, that is, he attaches too much importance to affection, especially to his fellow villagers and the old department, and even indulges, so he feels a little like a mother-in-law.

Zhang Xuansu knew that Dou Jiande would not adopt his admonition and said: "Your Majesty has lost his word. ”

Dou Jiande saw that Zhang Xuansu no longer insisted, and said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing is loyal to admonishment, I don't know, there are only you and I here, you know and I know, don't say what you said to the third person just now." ”

Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but be moved, Dou Jiande was obviously afraid that this word would reach Gao Shixing's ears and let him offend the other party.

When Dou Jiande said this, he said: "The war lasted for more than ten days, although Luo Cheng was gone, but we still had a slight advantage in the overall situation. It's just that I can see that the Youzhou Army sent to fight, all of them are second-line township soldiers, and their elite government troops, as well as the grassland cavalry, have not been dispatched until now. I think that if I am afraid of the enemy's cavalry attacking our army's grain road, and dare not go deeper, I am afraid that some people will say that I am Dou Jiande is afraid of Li Chongjiu. ”

Zhang Xuansu was stunned for a moment, knowing that Dou Jiande was already dissatisfied with his steady and steady strategy of taking action step by step.

"Did you listen to someone else?" Zhang Xuansu asked.

Dou Jiande nodded and said: "Yes, someone told me that Daxia gathered 200,000 troops to attack Youzhou, but in the past ten days, it has been thundering and raining, and it has only captured a few small counties and a heavy city, and it has not been laid." Everyone in the world is now watching the decisive battle between my Xia army and Youzhou, if the progress is unfavorable, I am afraid that some people will doubt the strength of my Xia army. ”

Zhang Xuansu listened, and knew it in his heart, so he didn't have to guess that this must be Song Zhengben's words.

Song Zhengben was the mastermind of Dou Jiande's army, offering plans to pacify Hebei, breaking Xue Shixiong, and persuading Dou Jiande to become the emperor, all of which have the credit of this person. But Song Zhengben has high merit, so he doesn't leave room for his colleagues and subordinates to speak face-to-face, and even Dou Jiande doesn't give face.

Now Dou Jiande relies on Zhang Xuansu and obeys his words, Song Zhengben is unhappy and often slanders himself in front of Dou Jiande.

As if guessing Zhang Xuansu's thoughts, Dou Jiande added: "Zhang Aiqing, don't think about it, it's just that since our army started its army, it has won successive battles and has not been defeated, and the morale of the soldiers is high, but I have never seen such caution this time, and the soldiers in Gaoyang City have also asked me to fight several times." ”

Zhang Xuansu arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if it is the opinion of the soldiers, it shows that the military heart is available, and Weichen is not dissatisfied, but if there are other people." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuansu paused and said: "Your Majesty, from Gaoyang to Jixian County, it is a flat river, which is convenient for the cavalry to gallop, but it is too long for the grain road, if the army goes deeper, more troops must be sent to guard the grain road." Therefore, if our army fights a decisive battle with the Youzhou army, it is close to Gaoyang by one point, and our army has a better chance of winning, and if it is close to Jixian by one point, the chance of victory is far away. ”

Dou Jiande thought deeply and said: "What Zhang Aiqing said is very true. ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "My original intention was to send troops to attack Li Chongjiu's counties, forcing him to dispatch the main force to relieve the crisis. But now Li Chongjiu has sent all the second- and third-rate soldiers to garrison the township soldiers in the border counties, and the main elite government army and the grassland cavalry are hidden deeply, which is obviously a gain or loss of a city and a place, and the concentration of troops in the hinterland is precisely to lure our army into a lone army. ”

Dou Jiande listened to Zhang Xuansu's analysis, and suddenly realized: "Zhang Aiqing, I listened to the words of others and almost lost my calculations, so what do you say we should do?" ”

Zhang Xuansu nodded happily, Dou Jiande humbly accepted the advice, and changed it when he knew his mistakes, this is the style of Gaozu.

Zhang Xuansu Chengzhu smiled in his chest and said: "Your Majesty, please be patient, it won't take a few days, and the opportunity to break the game will come." ”

Dou Jiande asked: "Where do you say the opportunity to break the game?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said with a smile: "It's in the Yanmen Gate behind the mountain." ”

Yanmen County.

Yanmen County, yellow sand on the face.

The wind stopped for a while, and the yellow dust fell to the ground, revealing a large group of Yanmen cavalry wearing sheepskin jackets and hurrying on the road.

Dingyang Khan's Great Edict was erected on a valley.

Liu Wuzhou wore a white wolf skin hat and a white bear skin jacket, stationed in front of Ma Mountain, and said to Song Jingang: "Dou Jiande asked me to join forces to attack Youzhou this time, do you think Dou Jiande is sure to capture Youzhou?" ”

Song Jingang said: "Khan, Li Chongjiu and Dou Jiande have risen very rapidly in recent years, and when the two males meet, it is normal for me to see who wins and who loses." ”

Liu Wuzhou said: "Yes, but Li Chongjiu occupies the land of my Yanmen and attacks our army several times, if I don't take revenge, how can I exhale and raise my eyebrows for a day." This time I agreed with Dou Jiande to enter the army, which is the time for me to take revenge. ”

Song Jingang said: "Khan, Li Chongjiu's elite men, although they are all arranged in Taiyuan, Zhuo County, and the capital of Yanmen, Gao Chu, are also good at defending, and our army has not been able to succeed in several attacks. This time we need to change our approach. ”

Liu Wuzhou laughed and said, "I still can't trust you?" Just say it. ”

Song Jingang said: "Our army is divided into two routes, the Khan led the main force to attack Lao County, and I led an army to attack Lingqiu, Feihu County, and the main road of Feihu, so that Yanmen County can not care about each other." ”

Liu Wuzhou raised his head and laughed, and said, "Yes, good strategy." ”

Song Jingang said: "But Khan, I heard that the Turkic Khan's court did not approve of our dispatch of troops to attack Li Chongjiu this time. ”

Liu Wuzhou heard the words and said: "I have also heard that at present, Luo Khan has decided to give up the plan of the eastward expedition, but is preparing to go west and attack Li Tang. ”

Song Jingang said: "If the Turks advance eastward, they will have to rely on the Khan, but if they advance westward to fight a decisive battle with Li Tang, the most beneficial ones are Liang Shidu and Guo Zihe." These two people recruited troops this time, and they actually had plans to enter the main Guanzhong. ”

Liu Wuzhou's eyes narrowed, and he snorted coldly: "These two people are just rats and dogs, if it weren't for the Turkic support, they would dare to be enemies of Li Tang." In particular, Zhang Changxun, the county guard of Wuyuan County, since he climbed to the princess of Yicheng and the Turkic Khan, actually took advantage of the human power, and did not put us in his eyes at the moment, otherwise if the Turks were willing to support us this time, how could Li Chongjiu have his life. ”

Song Jingang also sighed, it is true that after Luo Khan gave up the plan of the Eastern Expedition, Liu Wuzhou's status in the Turks has plummeted, and this year's war horses and fur support are much less than that.

If it weren't for this, he would not have sent only 10,000 horses to attack Yanmen County this time. (To be continued.) )
