Chapter 4 Changes (4)

Zhang Jiang has been following Xuzi for many years, and there is no need to guess to understand that something must have happened in Hebei. After thinking about it, he asked, "Could it be that Luo Yi is going to make trouble again?" He's really good at picking time! ”

"It's not Luo Yi, it's Dou Jiande and Gao Kaidao!" Li Xu shook his head first, then nodded and replied hesitantly. "I just received an urgent letter from home before I left the city this morning, General Xue was once again ordered to go to conquer Dou Jiande, but as soon as I crossed the Juma River, I was attacked by the thief army. In the chaos, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and the 20,000-strong army was broken by more than 15,000. Only more than 4,000 light horsemen escorted the Xue family's father and son and fled back to Zhuo County! ”

Hearing this, all the staff members in the tent couldn't help but gasp. For more than a year, everyone has followed Li Xu to fight in the east and west, and they have long been aware of the geographical situation of Hebei. As we all know, the Juma River is located at the junction of Zhuo County and Hejian County, and on paper it is still under the jurisdiction of Li Xu. Dou Jiande's ability to successfully attack Xue Shixiong on the south bank of the Juma River at least shows that his forces have mastered most of Hejian County. And just a few months ago, this person was forced to hide in Tibet by the old general Yang Yichen, and he couldn't live in fear.

The situation has become so fast, it is simply dizzyingly fast. It has only been more than five months since everyone left Hebei, and the local situation has far exceeded their imagination! From this point of view, this decision to go south is really a bit reckless. After all, Hebei is everyone's home, and all over Henan, no matter how well everyone fights, they are just making wedding dresses for others.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid this isn't Dou Jiande's success!" The audience was silent, and when they marched to join the army, the German side could not bear it and stammered.

He was originally a scholar who traveled around, and by chance, he was temporarily elected as the Wuling County Commander by a large family in Hejian. But before he could secure the seat of the county commander, the place was surrounded by Gao Shida's rebellious army. In order to avoid the slaughter of the people in the city, the German side had to open the city and surrender the thieves. Secretly, he sent his henchmen to secretly inform Li Xu of the details of Gao Shidajun.

Later, Li Xu and Yang Yichen joined forces to fight the thief, and Gao Shida and Liu Badao saw that things were not good and planned to abandon the city. It was the German side that deceived him with a division of troops, and finally led to the annihilation of Gao Shida and Liu Badao, and both of them died.

After the thief army was exterminated, Li Xu and Yang Yichen remembered the merits of the German side and wanted to jointly write to the imperial court and recommend him as the Taishou of Hejian County. However, the German side refused to be a frightened magistrate anymore, and had to follow the example of the ancients. It happened that Li Xu felt that there was a shortage of talents under his command, so he recruited him into the scene and joined the army.

After getting along for a long time, everyone found that this person not only knew little about the soldiers, but also had a slight stutter when he spoke. Shi Defang himself also understood his weaknesses, so he always only brought his ears and never spoke when he was deliberating. But today I suddenly opened my mouth once, and although the meaning expressed was vague, it could also be said to be in the middle of a sentence.

"Don't be in a hurry on the German side, speak slowly if you have something to say. Do you think someone pretended to be Dou Jiande and hacked General Xue from behind? When Li Xu listened to the German side's analysis, the situation was similar to the original speculation in his heart, and he was happy in his heart, and comforted him with a pleasant face.

"Dou, Dou thief, if the combat power is so strong, he will not be chased, chased into Douzigang!" The more anxious the German side was, the more unfavorable his words became, and he only held back his face flushed, and only jumped out a few words in a short and continuous manner.

"Luo Yi did it!" Having said that, the other staff members of the Boling Army had already guessed the approximate situation. Dou Jiande had just taken over the rest of Gaoshida last fall, and in just a few months, it was impossible to secure the position of the leader of the green forest in Hebei Province. And Gao Kaidao inherited Geqian's foundation, and his family background was even weaker. At present, these two thieves are surrounding Douzigang and are very happy with Taichang Shaoqing Wei Ji, even if they learn the news that Xue Shixiong is going to lead the army south, I am afraid that they will not be able to spare their hands to sneak attack him. What's more, there are still hundreds of miles between Douzigang and Juma River, and seeing tens of thousands of bandits crossing the border, the several big cities that Hejian County still controls in the hands of the imperial court will not have no reaction.

"Ask, question no, it's not who attacked Xue, Xue Shixiong. And, while in Xue, can General Xue regain and regroup! From the expressions on everyone's faces, the German side was encouraged, and the nervousness relaxed a little, and the words spoke much more fluently.

This is what bothers Li Xu the most. It turned out that there were four forces in northern Hebei: Xue, Yang, Li, and Luo, and the first three joined forces, which naturally made it difficult for Luo Yi, the general of Huben, to move. And now that Yang Yichen is in Jiangdu, Xue Shixiong has just experienced a big defeat, and only half of the Boling army is left on Luo Yi's way south.

Although it has only been operating in the six counties of Boling for more than a year, the soldiers have long regarded this place as their lair. Seeing that the imperial court building is about to collapse, I don't know how long this world will be chaotic. Having a stable back-up is equal to a fifty percent chance of survival. No matter what happens to the army in the battle outside, as long as the generals can return to their nests safely, with time, they can slowly raise their vitality. But if the battle ahead is undecided, and the lair in the rear is copied again, it will be a big bad thing. Even if everyone can successfully exterminate the Wagang thieves, how long can a group of rootless Ping wander at the time of this military disaster?

For a moment, everyone's hearts became heavy. Everyone expects that the situation will not develop in the worst direction, but at the same time, they clearly know that if they change their position in Luo Yi, they will never give up such a good opportunity for expansion.

However, judging from the current situation, it is obviously unrealistic to want Boling Jingcai to immediately cross the Yellow River north and fight the Youzhou army with the brothers who stayed at home. Not only will the imperial court not allow Li Xu to do this, but those big and small bandits who had been scared by the Boling Army will also take the opportunity to chase and intercept them after hearing the news, creating an opportunity for Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou.

If Li Xu keeps returning to the army, the ability of Zhao Ziming and others alone will definitely not be able to stop the tiger under Luo Yi's command. It was the strongest attack team in the entire Great Sui Dynasty. Although the number of people is not large, on the plain, even if Li Xu personally brings the Boling elite horse to fight against him, he may not be able to get benefits. What's more, most of the elite and capable generals in the Boling army are in Henan at the moment, and some of Zhao Ziming's troops are only tens of thousands of foot soldiers?

What to do? At this point, the Boling generals, who were usually full of confidence, also made some mistakes. Everyone turned their heads one after another, expecting that Li Xu would be able to use a clever move in an instant like leading the troops to fight, and kill the enemy. But this time, Xuzi disappointed everyone. He frowned tightly, and he was actually at a loss in the face of the flying disaster.

"Think about it, everyone, is there a way for us to break this game?" After pondering for a while, Li Xu still didn't have a foolproof plan in his heart, so he had to look at everyone, hoping that everyone could work together to find an emergency solution.

Everyone looked at each other, and in an instant, the military tent was so quiet that even the sound of people's breathing could be clearly seen. The night breeze outside the curtain echoes with the sound of the waves, the sound is urgent, and the sound urges people to grow old.

"Fell, fell!" Seeing that everyone didn't speak for a long time, Shi Defang stood up and stammered in reply.

"Falsifying, what is the method?" As if seeing a light in the dark night, Li Xu's brows jumped up sharply and asked in surprise. He knew that most of his staff members had passed the imperial examination, and although all of them were well educated, they lacked political experience. However, at this time, the German side can not only be favored by local tycoons, but also favored by bandits, and finally be able to get out of the chaotic army peacefully, and the ability to survive must not be underestimated.

All the staff members put away their previous contempt for the German side and quietly listened to him talk about the way of plotting. In terms of leading troops to fight, all the staff and generals under Li Xu's command pulled out one at random, and they were all several times stronger than the German side at the time. But when it comes to political strategy, I am afraid that except for Zhao Ziming, the military Sima who stayed in Boling, there is no second person who sometimes has a high vision on the German side.

"Luo, Luo Yi is fledgling, one, he must not want to take too many risks!" Shi Defang took a breath and responded slowly. "So, so the general, first, send someone to quickly write a letter to Luo Yi, saying that thieves are raging all over Hebei. Desire, want to raise him as a bargain, and arrest the ambassador......"

Since Li Xu didn't have time to personally lead the troops back to the division to deal with Luo Yi, the best way was to deceive him and delay the time for his army to go south. Therefore, Shi Defang thought that instead of waiting for Luo Yi to come to the door, it was better to send a greater benefit to the door first, so that he could look forward to it again and again, and it was difficult to choose.

Judging from the current situation in various parts of Hebei, what can be compared with the temptation of the six counties of Boling is naturally the vast land outside the six counties. Especially after Yang Yichen was ordered to return to Jiangdu in the south, the states and counties that had been recovered by him and Li Xu from the bandits side by side lacked a strong general to sit in, and a huge power gap had been formed. Taking these counties does not require Luo Yi to send troops to fight, and second, he will not let them bear the infamy of capriciousness, and only needs a holy decree from the imperial court, he can justifiably take over the counties of Hejian, Bohai, and Pingyuan, so as to advance the actual control area to the south for hundreds of miles, and control tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land from the north to the southeast of Liaoning to the Yellow River.

It is better to capture Boling through hard fighting, and thus make Li Xu, an enemy who is not easy to mess with, and then risk losing the army. Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land are obtained openly, and then through a few years of rest and recuperation, it becomes the foundation of one's own home. Which of these two is better for you? With the eyes of the tiger general Luo Yi, he will not fail to see it.

"It's a good plan, I'm afraid that the general's letter hasn't arrived yet, and Luo Yi has already done it!" When Zhang Jiang heard what the German side said, he didn't feel moved, thought about it for a while, and asked.

"No, it won't. Luo, Luo Yi is lacking, lack of food. No, it won't be done before the wheat is ripe," the German side shook his head again and again, and replied in the affirmative.

"But how could Luo Yi believe that I could recommend him as the ambassador of Hebei Province to arrest him? I am not in the court, how can I affect His Majesty's decision? Li Xu thought about it and asked again.

"No, there is no need for shadows, influences. Luo, Luo Yi only, only need to general, an attitude! Shi Defang continued to shake his head, but his smile was full of confidence.
