After preparing for nearly a month, Chen Xu personally led an army of 200,000, with Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin, and Shan Xiongxin as generals, and Shen Luoyan as his military advisor, and went to Jianghuai to fight a decisive battle with Du Fuwei.

Li Yuan, who was far away in Taiyuan, wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to Guanzhong, but suddenly received the news that Song Que in Lingnan led his troops straight to Taiyuan. After some discussion with his important ministers, he finally gave up the idea of sending troops to Guanzhong and instead mobilized a large army to deal with Song Que.

Li Shimin strongly advised: "Father, Song Que is just to support Chen Xu, I estimate that at most he will send troops to harass him." As long as we can lead the army to capture Luoyang, Chen Xu will definitely rush back to the rescue. At that time, he could join forces with Du Fuwei and defeat Chen Xu in one fell swoop. ”

Li Jiancheng immediately retorted: "Second brother, what kind of joke are you talking about?" Even if Chen Xu goes out with a large army, Luoyang will leave enough guards, how can it be broken in a short time? Besides, Song Que personally led the troops to the battle, was it just to put on a show? ”

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin dissatisfied, "Jiancheng is right, Luoyang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is definitely not an overnight thing to take it." Lingnan Song lacks a deep understanding of the art of war, and we should be careful. ”

Li Shimin persuaded again: "Father, please give the child an army, and the child will guarantee that he can capture Luoyang." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand, "No need, I've made up my mind, so let's do it." ”

As for Dou Jiande's side, he is also powerless. Because he was exhausted by dozens of harassment troops sent by Chen Xu at this time. When he woke up every morning, all he heard was that a certain place under his rule was attacked by Chen's small troops, and the granaries and armories were burned down.

Although the losses each time are not too big, they add up to a lot, and they also cause him a lot of losses. Coupled with the fact that he himself did not have much ambition, and Taiyuan Li Yuan did not take the opportunity to send troops, Dou Jiande finally decided to be his soil emperor in Hebei.

JAC.

Duvowe stood silent in front of the map.

The strategists and generals behind him were also silent.

After a long time, Du Fuwei asked: "Chen Xu personally led the army to come, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" ”

His adopted son, Wang Xiongdan, a general, took a step forward and said: "General, we have fewer troops than the other party, so it is not appropriate to fight hard." The subordinates suggested taking advantage of the terrain of the Jianghuai River to lead them into the reeds and annihilate them. ”

Du Fuwei stroked his beard and smiled, "Yes, this plan is very good. ”

A strategist came out and said, "General, my subordinates feel that they should first fight a head-on battle with Chen Xu's army and fight the majesty of our Jianghuai army." After the war, General Wang's strategy was adopted again. ”

Several generals and strategists stood up at the same time to express their approval, and they all believed that a head-on decisive battle should be held first to boost the morale of the whole army.

Hearing this suggestion, Du Fuwei fell silent.

If the head-on decisive battle is won, it will indeed help to boost morale and show the demeanor of the Jianghuai army. But at the same time, there is a certain risk, if it fails, it will cause the morale of the army to plummet. Moreover, the venue for the frontal decisive battle was on land, and land warfare was not the strong point of the Jianghuai Army.

Kou Zhonggang wanted to stand up and persuade Du Fuwei to start a decisive battle, but was gently stopped by Xu Ziling and signaled him not to persuade again.

The few people who persuaded Du Fuwei to fight a decisive battle just now were actually the people they had already persuaded to surrender. As long as Du Fuwei agreed to start a decisive battle on land, they had the opportunity to lead their subordinates to launch a rebellion and cooperate with Chen Xu's army to encircle and suppress Du Fuwei.

Du Fuwei pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Yu Ling, what do you think?" Should our army have a decisive battle first, or should we start a battle with the other side on the river? ”

Yu Ling is Xu Ziling's pseudonym.

Xu Ziling heard Du Fuwei ask, pondered for a while and said: "My lord, my subordinates think that we should make use of our strengths and avoid weaknesses and fight on the river. After all, the land combat capability of our Jianghuai Army is not so high. ”

When Kou Zhong heard Xu Ziling say this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, didn't he want to persuade Du Fuwei to fight a decisive battle on land?

Du Fuwei's face showed displeasure, "Hmph, our Jianghuai Army's combat effectiveness on land is not high?" Even you think so, presumably Chen Xu and even people in the world are ideas. I, Du Fuwei, want to let the people of the world see that our Jianghuai army can not only fight on the river, but also on land! ”

"This, my lord......"

Xu Ziling seemed to be about to say something to admonish, but was directly interrupted by Du Fuwei: "You don't need to persuade again, I have already decided to fight to the death with Chen Xu's army on land!" ”

Kou Zhong only understood Xu Ziling's intentions at this time, Du Fuwei was stubborn and self-serving, full of confidence in the Jianghuai Army he had built single-handedly, and would never allow others to look down on the Jianghuai Army. Xu Ziling grasped this point and did the opposite, provoking Du Fuwei to make a decision.

……

More than a month later, Chen Xu's army arrived in Jianghuai, and the two armies met for a decisive battle in the wilderness.

Chen Xu led the crowd out, pointed at Du Fuwei and said: "Du Fuwei, if you surrender at this time, I promise to spare your whole family's life." ”

Du Fuwei laughed, "Chen Xu, everyone says that your Wagang Army is extremely powerful, but I don't believe it. Today, I want to let the people of the world know that our Jianghuai Army is the most powerful army in the world! ”

Chen Xu smiled, "Du Fuwei, do you dare to fight with our army?" ”

Du Fuwei glanced at his subordinates, "Which of you wants to fight?" ”

A subordinate general stepped out of the crowd, "Subordinates are willing to fight!" ”

Duvowe nodded, "Okay, that's you." If you win the enemy general, I will give you a three-level promotion. ”

The general thanked him again and again, and happily rushed to the battlefield on horseback.

In Chen Xu's array, Cheng Jin's big axe was already hungry and thirsty, and he screamed "Wow, yes", and rushed forward.

Thump.

Cheng bites Jin and chops the enemy general in two with an axe.

"With such a level, dare to come out and fight Grandpa Cheng?"

Du Fuwei's face turned red, this gap in strength was too big, and he was actually hacked to death with an axe.

Chen Xu was too lazy to talk nonsense with Du Fuwei again, so he directly waved his hand and shouted loudly: "The whole army is attacking!" ”

The sound of drums and horns sounded.

Chen Xu's army rushed towards the Jianghuai army without hesitation.

Not to be outdone, Du Fuwei calmly commanded the army to launch a counterattack.

In the Jianghuai army array, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling glanced at each other, knowing that their time had come.

Bang bang bang!

Several flares exploded in the sky.

Nearly a quarter of the soldiers in Du Fuwei's army, under the command of the Shangguan, immediately turned against him. As agreed in advance, they took out a piece of white cloth and tied it around their arms as a mark of identification.

The army that obeyed Duvowe was caught off guard and was immediately in disarray. They couldn't tell who was friendly and who was the enemy, so they raised their weapons to defend themselves and didn't let anyone get closer.

Chen Xu saw that the plan was going smoothly, and immediately commanded the army to encircle and suppress Du Fuwei's department.

More than two hours later, Du Fuwei, who desperately resisted, was captured by Qin Qiongsheng.

The Du Fuwei forces that crisscrossed the Jianghuai River were completely wiped out.
