Youzhou Thorn History Mansion.
Li Chongjiu was busy and had tea with Yang Ehuang and Mu Deyun.
Mu Deyun grew up drinking nǎi tea concocted by Ma Nǎi on the grassland since he was a child, but Yang Ehuang was born in the Central Plains, and he was accustomed to boiling tea at the end of tea and tasting tea, so in their eyes, Li Chongjiu's way of drinking tea is very strange.
"Husband, where is the way to taste tea when you directly boil water with tea leaves?" Emperor Yang E couldn't help asking.
Li Chongjiu put down the teacup, touched the short beard on his chin and said: "Well, this is the way for people in Sichuan and Shu to drink tea, they don't grind the tea leaves into powdered tea, but directly drink their soup." ”
"This is the first time I've heard of this." Emperor Yang E really hadn't heard of it, how could she know that this was the way to drink tea a thousand years later.
Mu Deyun suddenly ate and laughed, and Yang E Huang saw that Mu Deyun was laughing and leaned back, and asked without a smile: "Why is my sister laughing?" ”
Mu Deyun pursed his lips and said: "I have only heard of boiling medicine and boiling juice and drinking its soup, isn't this tea a medicine?" ”。
Li Chongjiu laughed when she heard this, and Yang Ehuang couldn't help it, she took Li Chongjiu's teacup, put it on her lips and said softly: "Although this tea soup is inferior to the tea fragrance, the taste is light and bitter, but it is really fragrant, and it has a taste of returning to the basics." ”
Li Chongjiu listened to Yang Ehuang's words, and couldn't help but feel deep and my heart, the way modern people drink tea, originated in the Ming Dynasty, and now tea merchants grow tea and scatter pesticides, or industrial pollution. Therefore, it is not easy to drink the original tea of thousands of years ago.
After listening to Emperor Yang E's words, Mu Deyun also took Li Chongjiu's teacup and took a sip gently. The brows are slightly furrowed, as if they are still intolerant of the bitter taste in the tea.
Li Chongjiu saw the edge of the teacup. There are two faint lip prints, but I can't help but feel hot in my heart. His hand reached under the table and pressed the thighs of the two women. Emperor Yang E, Room Deyun's face couldn't help but fly with shame.
Li Chongjiu was very happy in his heart, and when he was about to make the next move, someone outside the door reported: "Qi Shanggu Gong, Yanmen County has a great victory!" ”
Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, and said, "I know, I'll come immediately." ”
Seeing that Li Chongjiu was leaving, the two daughters couldn't help but feel reluctant, and the war lasted for more than ten days. Li Chongjiu was busy with the two of them for a moment today, but he was about to leave in a blink of an eye, where would he be willing to do it.
Looking at the eager eyes of the two, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but want to stay for a while, but thinking that the war was in full swing, he still left the room at the moment.
Li Chongjiu walked outside the door, only to see Wen Yanbo and Ji Chuan both waiting outside the door, and their faces were happy.
"Qi Yu Shanggu Gong. Outside Yanmen County, the news of a great victory came from Gaochu. Wen Yanbo said.
"Say." Although it was expected, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but be very happy when he heard the news of the big victory.
"Yanmen is a battle. Liu Wuzhou led more than 7,000 enemy troops to attack the city, and the commander Gao Chu defended the city for five days, causing Liu Wuzhou's army to suffer more than 1,000 casualties. After that, he commanded the army Yinghefu and Yan Yelie. Sun Erniang, led the grassland to ride. More than 13,000 people from Wansheng's army arrived and annihilated most of Liu Wuzhou's 7,000 cavalry. ”
"More than 2,000 enemies were killed, more than 3,500 enemies were captured, the enemy only escaped with more than 1,000 cavalry, Liu Wuzhou and more than 30 of his generals were killed in battle, the corpses were all converged, Liu Wuzhou's corpse, and the Turkic Khan's wolf head Daxu was also sent to Youzhou. Our cavalry also suffered 500 casualties, and the 1,500 village soldiers defending the city also suffered more than a third of the casualties. ”
Hearing the news of Liu Wuzhou's death, Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing loudly, every time there is a big war in Youzhou, Liu Wuzhou will come to Koubian, and this has been the case every year for three years.
Liu Wuzhou has the Turks to rely on, so he has no fear, if he takes the initiative to attack, he will be intervened by the Turks, but now he is using Dou Jiande to attack, and Yinghe Fu planned to lure Liu Wuzhou to Yanmen, and his army was annihilated under the city.
If Liu Wuzhou didn't have the heart to take advantage of the fire to rob and attack Youzhou, how could there be today, and now that the troubles are gone, how can he not be happy.
Ji Chuan said: "Lord Qiqi, if Dou Jiande learns that the main force of our cavalry is not in Youzhou, but in Yanmen, he will definitely send the whole army out and go north to fight a decisive battle with us. ”
Wen Yanbo said: "Yes, now that Liu Wu is dead on Monday, most of the main force has been annihilated, and Song Jingang, who attacked Lingqiu County, has also retreated and returned." Now in Mayi, the people who preside over the overall situation are Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law, Neishi Lingyuan Junzhang, and the general Gao Manzheng. After Liu Wuzhou's death, Yuan Junzhang and Gao Manzheng will compete with Song Jingang for power, Liu Jun is too busy to take care of himself, and will not invade my Yanmen border again, so the lord can guard against Liu Wuzhou's military strength in Yanmen and Shanggu, and all of them will be transferred to Youzhou to prepare for a decisive battle with Dou Jiande. ”
"Good." Li Chongjiu patted his knee and said yes.
Li Chongjiu said at the moment: "Pass the order, let Ying Hefu, Yan Yelie, Sun Erniang and Fan Cavalry Wansheng Army take the road from the Flying Fox Road and speed up to Yi County." At the same time, Chen Ke, the governor stationed in Feihu County, and Zhao Quanting, the deputy governor, led 2,500 township soldiers to Yi County to garrison Yishui with Wang Mahan. ”
"No." Ji Chuan, Wen Yanbo said yes together.
Goyang City.
At dusk, in a mountain forest outside the city, several tents were set up.
The elite cavalry of the Xia army patrolled around, the bonfires were lit between the tents, and Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin, Zhang Xuansu, Song Zhengben and other henchmen were by the bonfire, and the soldiers were roasting hunting rabbit meat.
Dou Jiande and his generals reminisced about the old days, chatted about happy places, and there were bursts of hearty laughter from time to time
Dou Jiande looked at everyone with a smile and said: "I, Dou Jiande, was originally born in cloth, and I didn't have great ambitions. In that year, the faint monarch conquered Liaodong and selected the people, and Brother Sun was in the ranks, but that year the Zhangshui flooded, and Brother Sun's house was flooded, so he prayed to the county order for exemption. Unbeknownst to him, the county decree did not allow it, but instead framed Brother Sun for stealing the neighbor's sheep, and not only imprisoned Brother Sun, but also arrested his wife and children and took them to prison. Brother Sun's wife starved to death with his six-year-old child......"
Dou Jiande paused when he talked about it, and suddenly sighed when he thought of the past, and everyone had already stopped talking and laughing, showing a listening look.
After Brother Sun heard this, he killed the dog official in a fit of rage. At that time, after Brother Sun killed the official, he defected to me. I told him that the Son of Heaven conquered Liao, the world was in turmoil, and if her husband did not die, he should make great contributions, how could he be a fugitive. According to Gaojibo, once things change, it is not too late to go out of the mountain. Later, Brother Sun entered Gaojibo, because the dog official slandered him for stealing sheep, so he simply called himself the sheep and plundered the neighboring Quartet. Because I have an old relationship with Brother Sun, only my hometown has not been disturbed. I didn't know that the county order was urged by my boss, and I couldn't get Brother Sun, so I could only find good people to confess, so I was punished for colluding with bandits. At that time, I was fortunately not at home and escaped, but more than 200 people of my Dou clan were all killed by the dog official. ”
"Dog officer. Damn it! When they heard this, they could not help but be filled with grief and indignation.
And Dou Jiande remembered that his hometown was burned and the clansmen were killed and injured, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, and said: "What happened later, everyone knows, after the clansmen were slaughtered, I defected to Brother Gao, raised an army, and the year before last, I took revenge and killed the dog official's family." It's ridiculous, others laugh at me Dou Jiande and Tian Shehan, and I also want to take over the world, that's right. I wasn't a person with big ambitions, and I was just desperate at the beginning. If it weren't for Brother Sun, Brother Gao, and the brothers respected me Dou as a person, how could I be where I am today. ”
When it came to this, the crowd was silent.
Dou Jiande said in a deep voice: "The defeat of Sui Yang was defeated by the government of disturbing the people and abandoning the industry. I Dou Jiande is not talented, today to sweep the Quartet, level the world, easy to cure after the chaos, I should rest and recuperate, do not let the people fight thousands of miles on the battlefield, and work in the people, wives and daughters do not worry about their husbands, can be at home to raise silkworms, so that thousands of miles of fertile land can be cultivated, the people no longer suffer from the bumps and displacement, you are willing to help me. ”
"Willing to share your Majesty's worries." The generals replied with great emotion.
Zhang Xuansu said: "Your Majesty wants to sweep the world, first unify Hebei, unify Hebei, and take Youzhou, the danger of Yanyun, and make the future advance and retreat." ”
Dou Jiande nodded and said: "Yes, I got the news yesterday that Liu Wuzhou was in Yanmen, and the ambush of Li Chongjiu's main cavalry was almost wiped out, and his people were not in the array. Liu Wuzhou took refuge in the Turks, was willing to drive the people, and it was not a pity to die, but Li Chongjiu was invaded by our army, but he could not bear it, and ambushed the main cavalry to Yanmen, so that Liu Wuzhou was destroyed. ”
"Your Majesty, Li Chongjiu can fight again, how is it compared to Xue Shixiong? At the beginning, we wiped out Xue Shixiong's army of 30,000 in one battle, is Li Chongjiu's soldiers and horses more elite than Xue Shixiong's soldiers today? ”。 It was Dou Jiande's wife and brother Cao Dan who spoke.
Zhang Xuansu said: "What General Cao said is extremely true, now the strength of our army is far above the beginning, and Li Chongjiu's main cavalry has been present in Yanmen, if you rush to Youzhou, it will be a tired army, our army can take this opportunity to storm the key points of Youzhou, break its main force, and decide Hebei in a battle." ”
The generals asked for battle, and although Li Chongjiu's defeat of Liu Wuzhou was relieved of worries, the movements of the main cavalry were already known. At this time, Dou Jiande did not have to worry for the time being, his light cavalry harassed the rear grain road, and he could lead the army north to fight Li Chongjiu in a decisive battle to determine the victory.
Dou Jiande's eyes swept over everyone, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he said loudly: "What everyone said is that I have made up my mind, and the army will start tomorrow and fight a decisive battle with Youzhou!" ”
The first year of Wufeng, October.
After Dou Jiande's main force was pressed in Gaoyang for nearly a month, he finally dispatched, with an army of 100,000 troops, starting from Gaoyang County, passing through Qingyuan, passing through Suicheng, and approaching the bank of the Yishui River.
At the same time, after Li Chongjiu learned the news of Dou Jiande's main force, he also sent troops from Jixian County, and led 8,000 troops from Jixian County, through Zhuo County, to Yi County, and Wang Mahan, Chen Ke, and Zhao Quanting joined forces, and the grassland cavalry led by Ying Hefu was on the way.
As a result, the main forces of the two armies confronted each other on the banks of the Yishui River, and a major battle was about to break out. (To be continued......)
