Chapter 568: Pre-War Interlude
As Li Jing expected, the Liu-Li coalition army really chose to establish a defensive position on the Dongwu River in the south of Taiyuan City, and the main camps of the two armies were built on the north bank of the Dongwu River. They were prepared to first take advantage of the favorable terrain to gain a foothold and then take advantage of the large number of cavalry in Liu Wuzhou's army to wait for an opportunity to harass the Sui army's grain route.
Although the abacus of the Liu-Li coalition army played well, but unfortunately, their tactical plans were all expected by Chen Fuliang and Li Jing, and they had prepared countermeasures in advance, after the meeting of the former army in Qi County, Chen Fuliang and Li Jing arranged a strategy of advancing the troops with equal emphasis on the front and back, led by Li Jing Cheng Yanjin, Xue Renguo and other fierce generals to open the way, Chen Fuliang led a large number of fierce people such as Chi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Kan Liang, Qiu Xinggong and Wang Fubao and reported ** to sit in the Chinese army, Qu Tutong led Liu Shishan and Qiu Shili and other generals to guard the grain road, The left wing on the west bank of Fenshui was handed over to the Li family's nemesis Liu Heimin, Qin Qiong led 7,000 cavalry to the right wing, and also led the mobile task, Chen Fuliang's ace descendant **** can also be pulled out of the Chinese army at any time to be a mobile reserve, and the many advantages of the elite soldiers were brought into full play, and the arrogant posture of I am relying on the elite to bully you more.
Through various channels to find out the deployment of the Sui army's troops, the Li family brothers, who have been outnumbered, have no way to deal with it except for scolding Chen Fuliang for being treacherous and cautious, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, who have not yet suffered hardships, feel that the opportunity is coming, and take the initiative to find the Li family brothers who are also camping outside the city and say: "Two virtuous brothers, Chen Yingliang traitors disperse the army, taking into account the front and rear wings, weakening the strength of their own forces, and they are still far away from each other, it is a great opportunity for us to break through the armies under his command, it is better for us to concentrate mobile forces." , defeated his relatively weak two-wing army, how about frustrating his sharpness? β
They glanced at each other with a wry smile, and then Li Er said: "Two brothers, your proposal is really good, compared to the front, middle and rear armies, the strength of the left and right wings of the Chen thief is indeed relatively weak and good, but Qin Qiong and Liu Heimin, the two thief generals, are not easy to mess with." Qin Qiong's fame on the battlefield was still before Chen Yingliang's traitor, and Liu Heimin's puppet was even more brave and strategic, and he used his troops well, and it took less than two years to take refuge in Chen Yingliang's traitor and he was able to lead the Hedong division alone, ranking above Wang Xingben and Huo Shiju and other veterans of the previous dynasty, and also made other civil and military officials under the command of Chen Thief have nothing to say, such a person, if he wants to rely on the advantage of local forces to defeat and annihilate him, it will only be more difficult than ascending to the sky. β
"Can there be so many generals under Chen Yingliang's traitor?" Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were both suspicious, and after a little discussion, Liu Wuzhou said again: "Two virtuous brothers, otherwise, our army will first dispatch a cavalry and make a detour to attack the right flank of the Chen thief army, how about you take care of it?" We did this firstly to try to understand the specific situation of the Chen thief's army, and secondly, we heard that Qin Qiong's puppet had been defeated by Dou Jiande several times on the Linfen battlefield, and he had frustrated his spirit, so we were more sure to fight him. β
"Qin Qiong lost the battle in Linfen because he met Wang Fubao, and Wang Fubao is a ......."
Li Jiancheng's words of persuasion were interrupted by Li Er, and Li Er hurriedly said: "Brother, since you are determined to send troops to fight, then we are not reluctant, you can rest assured to go to war with the thief army, junior brother, I will personally lead an army to meet you behind your back." β
Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly discussed the time and route of the troops before leaving, and then Li Jiancheng asked Li Er why he agreed to send troops, Li Er replied: "Let them suffer some losses, lest they not know that the sky is high and the earth is thick and strong to lead the main force to cross the Dongwu River to fight, and then we will call it difficult." The sooner they were taught, they wouldn't dare take the risk. β
Li Jiancheng suddenly realized when he heard this, and he no longer hesitated after applauding, and immediately let Li Er lead 3,000 infantry east into Yuci, Liu Wuzhou also sent the general Xunxiang to lead 3,000 Dingyang cavalry out of the camp, and Li Er joined hands with Yuci to cross the Dongwu River, and then Xunxiang led the cavalry to attack first, Li Er led the infantry to advance slowly, ready to cover Xunxiang's retreat across the Dongwu River, or ready to rush forward at any time to help Xunxiang win the surprise attack to expand the results of the battle, although Li Er knew very well that there was no such possibility.
There is really no such possibility, after the scout sentry horse reported the news of the Dingyang cavalry's roundabout attack in front of Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong not only did not feel the slightest nervousness and fear, but on the contrary, he smiled so much that he even narrowed his eyes, and said with a smug smile: "This is the advantage of a small number of troops, this good start belongs to us!" β
Laughing, Qin Qiong quickly arranged the troops, ordered four thousand infantry to fight in formation, and led three thousand cavalry to the rear, ready to give the Dingyang army who did not know the height of the sky and the thickness of a lifelong lesson, who would have thought that when Qin Qiong had just seen the dust and smoke brought up by the hooves of the Dingyang army's cavalry, the Chinese army a few miles away rushed to count the horses, holding Chen Fuliang's order arrow to Qin Qiong and said: "General Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Tang has an order, this battle is not allowed to be defeated, for the sake of the overall situation, your army must be defeated and move closer to the Chinese army!" β
"Why is this drudgery on my turn again?" Qin Qiong heard the bitter complaint, but he had no choice but to immediately lead the cavalry to attack first, and at the same time order the infantry to prepare for the retreat to the Chinese army.
So, in this way, the Dingyang cavalry led by Xun Xiang naturally made a good start, Qin Qiong led the cavalry and the Dingyang cavalry only made a slight contact, and immediately feigned that the enemy retreated to the Chinese army, and the Sui infantry also spread their legs and strode towards the direction of the Chinese army in the west, and the Dingyang cavalry relied on the speed advantage to catch up with the Sui infantry and made a lot of gains, Chen Fuliang immediately sent Kan Liang to lead the army eastward to respond, and shot the Dingyang cavalry with a strong bow and crossbow to cover Qin Qiong's army to escape back to the Chinese army, and the Dingyang army did not dare to kill the Sui cavalry directly, After trying to attack Kan Liang's two wings and behind, Kan Liang arranged the Fangyuan array according to Chen Fuliang's requirements to deliberately show weakness, and the Dingyang cavalry circled Kan Liang's turtle formation for more than a dozen circles and could not find a chance to break into the formation, so they had no choice but to retreat slightly, widening the distance and waiting for the infantry led by Li Er to respond.
The battle report from the front was in front of Li Er, of course, Li Er was bitter, scolding Chen Fuliang for being treacherous and shameless, deliberately deceitful, not only not giving Yang Jun the opportunity to understand the reality of the Sui army, but also by the way also played the role of luring the enemy. However, there had been an agreement in advance, and Li Er would never dare to believe in Ding Yangjun's words, so he could only lead the army to rush to reinforcements to find his appearance, while secretly praying that Chen Fuliang would not send people to stare at him again.
Li Er's luck was indeed quite good, because the scouts of the Sui army had not had time to find out who was leading the army behind the Dingyang cavalry, and Chen Fuliang, who just wanted to show weakness and lure the enemy, did not want too many casualties among the soldiers, so he asked Kan Liang to lead the army to withdraw, and the main force of the Chinese army stopped advancing and lined up to prepare for battle, and used the number to intimidate the Dingyang cavalry who were not far away. Seeing that the Sui army was already on guard, Li Er would not have played a role even if he led the army to come, so he chose to accept it when he saw it, and led the cavalry to rush back the way he came, Li Er also escaped a big difficulty Chen Fuliang's jealousy of Li Er, if it was found that Li Er led the army to respond, he would definitely rather give up the plan to lure the enemy than seize the opportunity to kill Li Er!
After the station, Qin Qiong, who was forced to suffer defeat again, naturally had to run to Chen Fuliang to complain and complain, and insinuated to ask Chen Fuliang if he deliberately made him ugly repeatedly? Chen Fuliang said with a smile: "Uncle Bao Mo blame, I really didn't mean it this time, originally I always thought that the first target of Liu Li's thief army should be our former army, and I was also ready to let my uncle carry this black pot and eat this defeat, I thought that your charm was so great, and the thief army would come to beat you first, so I had to let you lose again." But don't worry, the last time, if there is such an unfortunate thing in the future, I will never send you again. β
"Really?" Qin Qiong was suspicious, and asked again: "What if the thief army comes to attack my right flank again?" β
"Not anymore." Chen Fuliang shook his head and said to the front side: "The forward of our army is only thirty miles away from the Dongwu River, if it goes well, we can set up camp tonight, and then we will set up camp with the Glaive Formation against the river, and the thief army will not have a chance to attack you again." Even if there is any lure mission in the future, I will not let you be wronged again. β
Qin Qiong was a little relieved when he heard this, but Luo Shixin and Guo Feng and other friends next to him begged God to worship Buddha in front of him, praying for the blessing of the gods, so that the Dingyang army would attack the right wing of the Sui army again, so that he could see Qin Qiong's embarrassed appearance when he was forced to lose the battle again.
Qin Qiong was playing with a group of bad friends in front of Chen Fuliang, but Li Er had a bitter word in front of the general of the Dingyang army, and wanted to point out that the defeat of the Sui army today was just Chen Fuliang's trick to lure the enemy, but he had to worry about the face of the friendly army, so he could only remind Xun Xiang to pay attention to the details of the battlefield and distinguish whether the defeat of the Sui army was true or false. Fortunately, General Dingyang Xunxiang is also a person with a calm personality, and he did not indiscriminately accuse Li Er of being late for reinforcements, and he also somewhat suspected that the Sui army did not use all his strength at all, so he nodded and erased the matter.
Of course, Xunxiang's calmness does not mean that the Dingyang soldiers under his command are also so sensible, for the delay in getting infantry reinforcements, most of the Dingyang cavalry under Xunxiang's command naturally expressed serious dissatisfaction, in addition to being arrogant in front of the Taiyuan soldiers, of course, they also had to say a few strange words to ridicule and ridicule, Taiyuan soldiers listened to it, of course, they were also very unhappy, and some subtle rifts and contradictions began to appear between the two armies, which is human nature, and it has been the case throughout the ages, and it is not strange at all.
In the evening of the same day, the main force of the Sui army arrived at the Dongwu River battlefield smoothly, and joined the Sui army led by Li Jing, and then set up a camp five miles on the south bank of the Dongwu River, and set up a very powerful Yanyue camp with Fenshui as its back. Xun Xiang and Li Er, who could no longer find a chance to make a move, did not waste any more strength, and immediately led their troops to cross the Dongwu River, and each returned to the camp to report the battle situation to Li Jiancheng and Liu Wuzhou.
Like Li Er, after learning that the Sui army deliberately deceived and refused to reveal his true strength, Li Jiancheng also complained that his friend was too cunning, and then Li Jiancheng did not dare to slack off, so he could only quickly lead Li Er to visit Liu Wuzhou through the camp and explain the reason to Liu Wuzhou, so as not to let Liu Wuzhou advance lightly, giving Chen Fuliang the opportunity to fight the quickest battle he was most looking forward to.
Fortunately, Liu Wuzhou is also a good talker, after listening to the explanation of the Li family brothers, not only did he not question and refute, but also laughed and said: "The two virtuous brothers can rest assured, they are also people who rely on fighting to eat, and the Chen thief's army is really defeated or falsely defeated, so can you tell the difference?" In fact, after Brother Xun introduced me to the battlefield situation, I immediately understood that the thief Chen was deceiving our army and had never fought with him, and he didn't want to show his strength and deliberately show weakness to lure the enemy, and wanted to lure our army to give up the favorable terrain and take the initiative to cross the river for a decisive battle. β
Seeing that Liu Wuzhou's expression was hearty and did not seem to be fake, Li Jiancheng and Li Er breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and hurriedly complimented Liu Wuzhou together for his discernment and knowledge, but he never thought that Li Er's fiancΓ©e Liu Xiaoyan suddenly came out from behind the tent, and said in a strange manner: "Even if it is a thief Chen's fraud, but someone knows that the thief Chen is defeated but still does not dare to enter the army, and misses the opportunity to expand the results of the battle in vain, this courage is too small, right?" β
Li Er's expression was extremely embarrassed, and Liu Wuzhou also opened his mouth to scold his sister for not talking nonsense, but Liu Xiaoyan had a small face and said fiercely: "Am I talking nonsense?" The cavalry under the command of Brother Xun said that if they had infantry cover, they could at least kill thousands of enemies, but because the infantry reinforcements did not dare to go too fast, they gave the Chen thief's army a chance to escape! Also, didn't someone say that the thief would definitely have an envoy to sow discord? Why is it that now that the thief has arrived, and the sky is already dark, and he hasn't seen half of the thief's messenger yet?! β
Liu Xiaoyan was finally kicked out of the big tent by Liu Wuzhou, and then Liu Wuzhou said to Li Er with some apologies: "Brother Xian, don't blame, my sister is spoiled by me, I hurt her and was reluctant to scold, so I developed her into this temper, and after she passed the door, you have to discipline her more." β
"The elder brother has said it, but the younger brother doesn't dare to be." Li Er smiled bitterly and modestly, looked at the south with some confusion, and said secretly: "Why hasn't Thief Chen sent the messenger yet?" Could it be that he really changed his temper this time and didn't want to use his favorite and best discord trick? β
The next morning, while the main force of the Sui army was fully reinforcing the camp, Chen Fuliang also led a cavalry out of the camp with Li Jing, Yuan Tiangang, Wei Chi Jingde and others, and came to the Dongwu River to check the terrain first.
As the second largest tributary of Fenshui, the volume of the Dongwu River was still quite large in this era, and even before the flood season, the width of the river was almost three zhang, which was very difficult to cross. The main force of the Taiyuan army of about 26,000 people set up camp in the west, three miles away from Fenshui in the west, and about three miles away from the Dongwu River in the south; The Dingyang army set up camp about five miles east of the Taiyuan military camp, and was also very careful to stay three miles away from the river bank, so that the Sui army's artillery, which had a range of only two and a half miles, could not find a chance to directly bombard the Dingyang army's camp.
The sturdy wooden bridge on the river has naturally been demolished by the Liu and Li coalition forces, and replaced by six pontoon bridges that can be destroyed at any time, and there are earthen fortifications built at the end of the pontoon bridge to protect the bridge guards, once the Sui army launches an attack, the bridge guards can cut the rope at any time and destroy the pontoon bridge. In addition, the Liu-Li coalition army also established a large number of horse-repellent antlers on the shallows of the gentle river section, and after the antlers, a sheep and horse wall was built to cover the defenders to shoot arrows to kill the enemy on the opposite bank, and at the same time, Chen Fuliang and Li Jing and others also found that the Liu-Li coalition army deliberately built the sheep and horse wall very thick, obviously to guard against the artillery bombardment of the Sui army.
After carefully observing the enemy's fortifications, Chen Fuliang probably had a bottom in his heart, so he asked Li Jing: "Uncle, although the thief army's deployment along the river has learned some lessons, it is basically still the same, I don't think it is difficult to break through, what do you think?" β
"It's really not difficult to break through." Li Jing nodded and said: "With artillery and sharp weapons in hand, timber fortifications such as antlers and fences no longer have any effect in front of us, and it is not difficult for our army to break through the Dongwu River head-on." But there is also a difficulty, that is, Liu Wuzhou and the Li brothers help each other to defend and rescue each other, if we don't solve this problem, even if we succeed in the forced crossing, the loss will not be small. β
"I'm worried about that, too." Chen Fuliang agreed, and said: "We are sure of defeating the enemy head-on, but we cannot immediately put our forces into the battlefield on the north bank of the Dongwu River, and no matter how strong our military strength is, it is possible that the enemy will eat it bite by bite." There were only two ways to solve this problem, one was to attack the two camps of the Liu-Li coalition army at the same time, and the other was to lure the enemy across the river to fight. β
"Attacking two enemy camps at the same time, although our army's military strength is still enough, His Highness definitely doesn't like this tactic, right?" Li Jing smiled and asked, "Your Highness still wants to lure the enemy across the river, right?" Yesterday, Qin Shubao deliberately suffered another defeat, do we still have to try to lose again? β
"I'm afraid the trick won't work, Qin Qiong only used this trick to get past Cao Dan in Yueyang some time ago, and the Li family brothers won't fail to learn a lesson." Chen Fuliang smiled and said: "I let Qin Qiong defeat yesterday, the main purpose is not to expose my strength, and I don't want the Dingyang army to grasp our strength too early, so that we can keep the hope of luring the enemy across the river." Otherwise, we won't have the slightest chance. β
"Then what strategy did Your Highness use to lure the enemy across the river, do you have a plan in mind?" Li Jing asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm thinking about it." Chen Fuliang said with a smile: "As long as Liu Wuzhou's thief army still can't figure out our true strength, we have great hope if we want to lure him across the river, but let me think about it carefully......, hey, it seems that our opportunity has come, and there is movement on Liu Wuzhou's thief army." β
Li Jing, Yuan Tiangang and others hurriedly turned their eyes to the Dingyang army camp in the east, and saw that the Dingyang army had indeed opened the camp gate, and a group of Dingyang army knights with clear banners were coming out of the camp to this side, and the first person was riding a black horse with a golden helmet and golden armor, Chen Fuliang and Li Jing expected that it must be Liu Wuzhou himself, so they greeted him together. As expected, one of the Dingyang soldiers was wearing a hunting suit and rushed to the Dongwu River, shouting at Chen Fuliang and the others in a crisp female voice: "I heard that Chen Yingliang is here in person, my brother wants to answer you, Chen Yingliang, do you have the guts?" β
"How is it a woman?"
Chen Fuliang, who didn't know that someone had come to Taiyuan, heard the woman's voice, of course, he couldn't help but be stunned, but fortunately, there was an old driver's cousin next to Chen Fuliang, and when he heard the voice, he got closer and looked at the appearance, Li Jing couldn't help but smile slightly, and also shouted loudly: "Little niece, I haven't seen you for more than three years, don't come?" β
"Huh? How do I know my name? Liu Xiaoyan was also stunned, and after carefully seeing Li Jing's appearance, Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Uncle Li, why are you?" How did you end up in Chen Yingliang's traitorous army? β
"Xiaoyan, you are a girl, don't learn from men to scold people, okay?" Li Jing reprimanded Liu Xiaoyan loudly, and said: "His Royal Highness King Tang and I are relatives, of course I am in his army, what?" You don't know about it? β
"You and Chen Yingliang are traitors and relatives?" Liu Xiaomu really hadn't heard of this, and hurriedly said, "What relatives?" How come I've never heard of it? β
"Li Shangshu is my cousin, and he is also the closest relative to me in this world, Xiaoyan Xianmei, you even call me cousin, then I will also call you Xianmei, okay?"
Someone opened her mouth to take over the conversation, Liu Xiaoyan looked at it carefully, but saw that what appeared in front of her was a silver-armored man with a white horse and white robe, who had the same appearance and age as her fiancΓ© Li Er, and they were all unreliable little white faces at first glance, but their smiles were much kinder and gentler than Li Er's. Combined with the words of the little white face, Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask in surprise: "You are Chen Yingliang's traitor?" β
"Exactly." Chen Fuliang nodded, and said with a straight face: "Sister Xian, didn't you hear your Uncle Li's reprimand for you?" You are a girl, you have to know how to be polite, now if you want, you can call me Brother Chen, if you don't want to, you can also call me His Royal Highness the King of Tang, learn from those country puppets to speak foul language at every turn, like what words? β
"What are you to teach me?"
Liu Xiaoyan jumped three feet high, and he seemed to want to reason with Chen Fuliang, but Chen Fuliang didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, but secretly praised it in his heart, "It's really good, it's a pity, the good cabbage was really arched by the pig." β
At this time, Liu Wuzhou also slapped his horse and came to the Dongwu River, hugged his fist towards Li Jing, and laughed loudly: "Uncle Li, I haven't seen you for more than three years, don't come?" The one in a white robe next to Uncle Li, you should be His Royal Highness King Tang, right? Yes, as handsome and elegant as the legend, how about it? His Royal Highness King Tang, you didn't expect it, did you? If you refuse to give me Yanmen County, I will repay you with an army? β
"Brother Wu Zhou, for the sake of your politeness to Uncle Wang's cousin, this King looks at Uncle Cousin's face and calls you Brother Wu Zhou." Chen Fuliang sneered and said loudly: "But Brother Wu Zhou, you are mistaken, you sent troops to accompany Li Rebel and the traitor to the funeral, not only has it been expected by this king, but this king also hopes that you will do it from the bottom of my heart!" β
"Your Highness wants me to send troops?" Liu Wuzhou asked with a sneer.
"Not bad." Chen Fuliang nodded, pointed at Liu Wuzhou with a horsewhip, and said loudly: "Because you sent troops to bury the Li traitors, this king will save the trouble of sending troops and horses, and you don't have to work hard to go north to conquer, you can be broken under this Taiyuan city!" Wipe you and the Li traitors together! β
Ju officials are accustomed to showing off their power in front of accomplices, lackeys and people who don't know the truth, and Chen Fuliang really has a bit of courage this time. Liu Wuzhou, who was taken away by Chen Fuliang's momentum and was just a nouveau riche with dirt buns in his bones, couldn't help but feel a flurry, but Liu Xiaoyan next to him looked at Chen Fuliang in surprise, and said secretly in his heart: "This embroidered pillow seems to be much more domineering than that embroidered pillow?!" "Dan, the Li brothers will not fail to learn their lessons." Chen Fuliang smiled and said: "I let Qin Qiong defeat yesterday, the main purpose is not to expose my strength, and I don't want the Dingyang army to grasp our strength too early, so that we can keep the hope of luring the enemy across the river." Otherwise, we won't have the slightest chance. β
"Then what strategy did Your Highness use to lure the enemy across the river, do you have a plan in mind?" Li Jing asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm thinking about it." Chen Fuliang said with a smile: "As long as Liu Wuzhou's thief army still can't figure out our true strength, we have great hope if we want to lure him across the river, but let me think about it carefully......, hey, it seems that our opportunity has come, and there is movement on Liu Wuzhou's thief army." β
