Liu Heimin abandoned Changlu County and fled with less than 500 people.

The siege of the city will leave an opening, which is called hope, also called the back road, which is to give the enemy troops in the city a chance to escape.

If there is a possibility of escaping, they will not work hard, and the pressure of attacking the city will be lighter.

It's a way to attack the heart, and this method has been tried and tested.

At this point, Changlu and Jingcheng fell into the hands of officers and soldiers, and the eastern barrier of Gaoshida was gone, and all he could count on now was Geqian.

After joining forces, Zhang Xutuo gathered all the cavalry under his command and Cui Shishu to form a team of 8,000 people, and handed it over to Luo Shixin, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, and Xiong Bao.

"The battle in Changle County must be extremely tragic, you hurry up to support, this is the last battle," Zhang Xutuo arranged: "I will lead the remaining army to the north, try to cut off the echo between the thief and Gao Shida, as long as Gao Shida can be solved as soon as possible, the thief will be trapped in the beast fight." ”

He had the same idea as Li Jing, on Gao Shida's side, there were Tu Wanxu, Huangfu Wuyi, and Yang Xuanting resisting hard, and it was unlikely that the court would be defeated, so Geqian's support became the decisive factor.

If you can make a cut so that Ge Qian and Gao Shida can't effectively join forces, and after doing their best to annihilate Gao Shida, and then gather all the army to attack Ge Qian, the battle will be over.

What is an effective combination? It just can't form a unified strategy.

In fact, it is very simple, the combined forces of Ge Qian and Gao Shida, the strategic purpose is to attack the officers and soldiers of Changle and keep Xindu County, so the harassment of Li Jing and Zhang Xutuo will make the strategy complicated, because at that time, Ge Qian needs to divide his troops to deal with Li Jing and Zhang Xutuo, and he cannot concentrate the main force to attack Tu Wanxu.

To put it bluntly, the center of gravity of the decisive battle is in Changle County, and Li Jing and Zhang Xutuo have divided the focus of the decisive battle.

The gains and losses of Changle County determined the ownership of Xindu County and the outcome of the Great War in the north of Jizhou.

At this time, Yang Ming had already sent Su Lie as the main general, Zhang Yuanbei, Lai Yu, Wei Siyan, Xue Wanshu, and Li Xiaogong as the generals.

They will join forces with Xuan Ting in Zaoqiang County and attack Gao Shida's left wing corps with all their might.

So right now, in Qinghe County, the army around Yang Ming has less than 4,000 people left, and his own safety is not guaranteed.

So during this time, the bigwigs of the Cui family in Qinghe will be left by Yang Ming in the temporary marshal's mansion every day to discuss the military situation, and the rooms are arranged for them, everyone don't go, the military situation is urgent, and at the critical moment of the decisive battle, you have to participate in major matters with me.

In fact, it is to find an excuse to keep these people with you just in case.

In Qinghe County, the only people who can pose a threat to Yang Ming are the people of the Cui family, and detaining their head here will make Yang Ming feel much more at ease.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, don't look at Yang Ming, this dragon is thick and hard enough, but you still have to be cautious, although the place across the river in the east of Qinghe County is Qi County, Shi Huaiyi's station.

Shi Huaiyi was stationed here to prevent the Hebei rebels from escaping into Shandong, and in a vernacular, it was called wrapping dumplings from Hebei.

"Dou Jiande, surrendered?" Yang Ming looked at the latest military information and was dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect that Dou Jiande would surrender.

You're the number one person in history, what's the matter? Entrepreneurship is not half and the middle way collapses?

Of course, Dou Jiande is not dead, he is already on his way to Qinghe County.

Yang Ming's main instruction to all walks of life is that anyone who surrenders, except for those with a high surname, must not be killed.

"This person's interests are at stake, the current situation is unclear, even we can't see how the battle of Changle will end, he surrendered so early, he is very good at seizing the opportunity," Li Jiancheng was also very surprised.

Everyone has heard that Dou Jiande is the number one general under Gao Shida, and the territory after leaving Gao Jibo was all fought by Dou Jiande, and now this person is attached to the imperial court, which is undoubtedly a devastating blow to Gao Shida.

"This is the cleverness of this person," Xue Shui sighed: "Surrendering to Cheng with undefeat is for attachment, surrendering to Cheng for great defeat, and surrendering for submission, this is different, in other words, he made a choice between Gao Shida and His Royal Highness, and the timing of this choice is wonderful." ”

Dou Jiande was not defeated, he even surrounded Pei Xingyan.

It was at that time that he personally negotiated with Pei Xingyan, hoping to lead the crowd to join the prince, although Pei Xingyan was surrounded at that time, but people had a very strong ability to break through, and Dou Jiande was very likely to be unable to trap others.

But on the scene, it seems that Dou Jiande is indeed dominant, so Pei Xingyan has been shouting grievances in the report sent back, which means that I can break through, and that is not an encirclement.

Yang Ming could naturally see that Dou Jiande was using this form to make people look like he was surrendering in an advantageous situation, which was different from surrendering after defeat.

"Anyway, it's a good thing, the Zhaojun Rebellion is completely over, Zhang Ding and Chen Junbin have entered Xindu, and Gao Shida is at the end of his rope," Yang Ming said with a smile.

Dou Jiande will arrive in Qinghe County in about two days, and today, Shi Huaiyi has sent an army of 5,000 people with Pang Ben as the main general and Zuo Xiaoyou as the deputy general to Qinghe County.

It can be regarded as pressing the battle for the prince.

Originally, Yang Ming planned to meet this Zuo Xiaoyou today, and since Dou Jiande is also coming, let's see you together at that time.

Lao Cui's family, there are capable people.

During the time that Yang Ming lived in Qinghe County, the Cui family also offered beautiful women, and they were top-notch, absolutely first-class.

This is not called welcoming the prince, in fact, it is a custom.

Yang Guang traveled the world, went to a place, and fished for a few beauties, so that in his harem, there were beauties everywhere in the world.

And there has always been a custom in the officialdom of the Great Sui, or a bad habit, that is, when receiving Shangguan, you must send beautiful women, and there is still a song and dance troupe in Zhoukou.

Beauty is in Dasui, it is a cargo, it is a gift, when Xie Wen took office, the Cui family also sent beauties, but it is definitely not the same level as the one given to Yang Ming.

Some people can be sent away, but some people, Mao Zihuazi is an insult.

Yang Ming is not a saint, he is used to being served, and he has to be served by women, right? Could it be that I should have a man wash my feet?

And among the four beauties presented by the Cui family, one of them can be called stunning, Chen Shuyi's level, the most rare thing is that the small mouth of the people is not as good as the other three, obviously this one has not been trained.

Yang Ming thought that this was a novice at first, but after sleeping a few times, he felt that something was wrong.

His daughters are all from big families, and this woman feels like his daughters.

What does it mean? This girl may have the surname Cui.

"Zhinu, is that your real name?" That night, the girl washed Yang Ming's feet as usual, and her movements were very rusty, and no one had washed anyone before.

The intellectually said with a smile: "Back to Your Highness, it is the nickname of the concubine." ”

Yang Ming smiled: "I don't know your name yet?" ”

The lady raised her head and said, "Your Highness hasn't asked either." ”

Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh and said: "The other three, sometimes call themselves people's daughters, only you have always called yourself a concubine, it can be seen that you are not the same thing as the three of them, should you be surnamed Cui?" ”

Zhinu subconsciously covered her mouth with her hands, grinning, and when she found that her hands were full of foot washing water, she hurriedly wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

Just looking at this action, Yang Ming knew that he had guessed correctly.

That's why it is said that the Cui family has capable people, if they choose one for Yang Ming in the clan at the beginning, Yang Ming may not agree, command the army outside, and accept a woman, what is this called?

But without knowing it, you have already put people to sleep, that is, raw rice is cooked and cooked.

With the status of the Cui family, the prince can't sleep in vain.

"Tell me, who is your father," Yang Ming had a feeling of being calculated by the old foxes, and said with a wry smile.

The girl smiled: "My father Cui Shu, the concubine Cui is sorry." ”

"Pity? These two words should be from the "Jin Dynasty": Yu Confucianism, cherish the name, be ashamed to welcome the ear, and be incapacitated," Yang Ming said with a smile: "Taste the peerless color, restore the posture of the city, good name." ”

Cui Jinxi's eyes lit up: "The prince is a great talent in the world. ”

Who is her father Cui Shu? Shaoqing of Sinong Temple, a high-ranking official, is responsible for planting cotton in the Huanghuai Valley, and Yang Ming has dealt with him.

Why did you sleep with other people's daughters? The old Cui family is also too yin.

"No wonder you're wearing clothes made of cotton, I should have thought of it a long time ago," Yang Ming smiled bitterly.

Cui Jinying smiled and said: "The elders of the clan thought that the prince would never ask, after all, I am like a maid who serves people." ”

"If it is, I won't see through it," Yang Ming raised his feet, and the latter hurriedly wiped them with a cotton cloth.

Then next, it must be another sweaty exercise.

The next day, Dou Jiande came.

Yang Ming was in the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion and met with the other party.

"Sinner Dou Jiande, knock on His Royal Highness the Prince," Dou Jiande said half-kneeling.

The man was very tall, about the same size as Gao Gong, with large palms and a very thin build, like a cornstalk.

The one kneeling beside him was Zuo Xiaoyou.

The difference is that Zuo Xiaoyou has been given an official position by Shi Huaiyi, and now he is his own person, and he is at ease, but Dou Jiande has not.

So Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't help but glance at Dou Jiande, who was also a thief and was more famous than himself, and Dou Jiande also happened to look at him.

"This is Qi Jun Zuo Xiaoyou, have you heard of it?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

Dou Jiande was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other party more carefully, good guy, peers, look at your armor, dare you descend before me?

"Brother Zuo's abandonment of darkness and surrender to the light is admirable," Dou Jiande arched.

Zuo Xiaoyou also saluted: "Each other, Brother Dou is in the abyss and reins in the horse, and it is the shore to turn back." ”

Yang Ming looked at Pei Xingyan, who came back with Dou Jiande, and said: "Recruiting the general, it is your credit, Dou Jiande will be under your command in the future, and I will make a long history for you, and his command will surrender to your commander-in-chief." ”

Pei Xingyan nodded and said, "Yes." ”

As soon as he came back, he ran to explain to Yang Ming, I really wasn't surrounded, that is not called surrounding.

That's why Yang Ming will use the merit of appeasing the generals today to cover up the shame that he was indeed surrounded.

Pei Xingyan is his own person, or Su Lie's eldest brother. (End of chapter)
