Gao Yanzong transferred troops to fight Yao Xiang at the same time did not leave Fenzhou and Xincheng behind, he ordered Wei Xianggui to lead thousands of people to attack Dingyang, as Gao Changgong's reinforcements, he returned to the army to command the capture of Fenzhou and Xincheng, open and close, two-pronged, and pressed the Zhou army to fight.

Within four days, the new city was breached, and in another half a month, Fenzhou was breached.

Yuwen Hu, Yu Wenxian, Wei Xiaokuan and others were shocked, while Qi Jun was overjoyed and excited, Hu Luguang smashed the table with an excited punch when he received the battle report, and laughed: "I'm waiting for Fenbei to return!" After that, the offensive against Yubi became more fierce.

Wei Xiaokuan was helpless, the wall was clear, and he resolutely did not confront Hu Luguang head-on, Yao Xiang had been lost, and the Zhou army in Fenbei had lost the capital to compete head-on with the Qi army, Wei Xiaokuan sent three urgent documents a day to Chang'an and Tongzhou, which was the most sinister situation faced by Wei Xiaokuan since Gao Huan besieged Yubi!

Hu Luguang's worries were swept away by Gao Changgong and Gao Yanzong, and he would soon gather Xue Guyan, Qi Lianmeng and other scattered forces to besiege Yubi!

"Eventful...... Wei Xiaokuan stood in front of the government and sighed softly, the twilight was gloomy, and the shadow covered half of the face of this world-famous general. The faces of the cronies on the left and right were also very solemn, "Yao Xiang was captured, Xincheng and Fenzhou were also lost, and Dingyang cannot be lost again, otherwise our army will ......be in danger."

Wei Xiaokuan's slender eyes narrowed, looking at the man, flashing with a dangerous cold glow, "You have to keep Dingyang...... Difficult! ”

"...... Chu Dao was captured by the Qi army, Yang Fu is the most important thing about this son, if the Qi army forces Chu Dao's life, what will happen to Yang Fu?"

Assassin Shi Yang Fu stayed in Dingyang, Yang Su is his son, he is very important to this son on weekdays, with very high expectations, just a weak crown sent his son to Yubi to experience, if Yang Su is captured, Yang Fu can still make up his mind to fight to the death with the Qi army?

Everyone was silent, and someone said: "No, Yang Tingshi has always been known for his loyalty, and he will never damage his reputation for the sake of a son......"

Wei Xiaokuan's brows did not stretch because of this sentence, but became more solemn, "That's hard to say...... I'd rather believe it than believe it, I have already written to Yu Wenxian, ask him to keep an eye on Yang Fu, if there is any abnormal movement, ...... immediately" He made a killing gesture.

"It's not my villain's heart, but the current situation of our army, it's really dangerous to the extreme, Hu Luguang is pestering us, even if I have a thousand means, I can't use it, it's really embarrassing......!" Wei Xiaokuan said quietly: "Now I can only find a way to drag Hu Luguang's footsteps, if he joins forces with Duan Shao, Yubi may not be able to hold ......"

"Difficult to ......" a staff member thought for a long time and didn't have any clue, "Hu Lu Mingyue is high and powerful, and has won the favor of several generations of kings in the Qi country, and now the lord of Qi is Hu Lu Mingyue's son-in-law, Hu Lu Mingyue is famous and authoritative, and all four are accounted for, except for listening to Duan Shao's moderation, no one can restrain him, if he is determined to fight Yubi, he will not give up halfway." ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaokuan just smiled gloomily, "Duan Xiaoxian can't restrain him, and there are still people who can restrain him." Do you think that the prestige of Tailong is a good thing? Hu Luguang is in a high position, he controls this military and political power in his hands, or is he a relative of the emperor, do you think that the Lord of Qi will not be afraid of him? ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xiaokuan's heart ached.

He has been repeatedly suspicious of Yuwen Hu, if Hu Luguang can not be suspected by the Lord, it is absolutely impossible.

His eldest daughter is the crown princess of Gao Yan, the prince of Gao Yan, and the second daughter was selected by Gao Zhan to become the crown princess of the crown prince Gao Wei, and after Gao Zhan abdicated, he was canonized as the queen...... Hu Luguang's sons, the two adult sons are all married to royal princesses, and their father Hu Lujin can be described as full of illustrious!

…… How could the Lord of Qi not be suspicious of him? ”

Wei Xiaokuan smiled coldly and said, "Let's have a counter-plan, over the years, we have secretly cultivated a lot of people over there, let them spread some news, I want them, mutual suspicion...... Monarchs and ministers kill each other......! ”

"Jie Shuai...... This plan is good, but it is ...... Won't it be too late......"

The staff thought about it and said, carefully look at Wei Xiaokuan's face, now go to the Qi country to spread rumors, it will not work, Hu Luguang should still fight. He always felt that Wei Xiaokuan was doing this...... Jealous of Hu Luguang?

Wei Xiaokuan's face was gloomy and terrifying, he took a deep breath, calmed down his irritable mood, and slowly exhaled: "No matter whether it can play a role in this battle or not, as long as you can get rid of Hu Lu Mingyue, it's always good...... It's a long time to come! If Otsuka had listened to me, how could I have been forced to make such a decision? ”

He has always persuaded himself like this in his heart, he Wei Xiaokuan is not jealous of Hu Luguang, but he was implicated by Yuwen Hu and Yu Wenxian, and he was forced to have no choice...... If there was still a chance for Zhengda Light to defeat Hu Luguang, how could he make such a decision?

Ordering people to divide is a vicious means...... It's too unrighteous and ......bright, but he has been fighting with Hu Luguang for so many years, and he rarely beats ......, so he can only use this method......

His heart gradually sank with his thoughts, it turned out that unconsciously, he had already listed Hu Luguang as an invincible opponent?

In Fenzhou, the smoke of the war had just fallen, the Qi army was stationed in Xincheng, the military flag was hunting, and Gao Yanzong stepped into Duan Shao's camp to visit him. Duan Shao's health is really not good, he is still hugging his fur fur on a hot day, and he is taking a small sip of a bowl of hot soup medicine.

"You're here......" the old man lazily put the bowl on the table, pointing to the opposite side, "sit down ......"

Gao Yanzong smiled: "You actually took the initiative to drink the medicine yourself, I'm not dazzled, right?" ”

Duan Shao raised his sleeves to wipe his mouth, and sighed helplessly: "No way, I don't want to ...... But isn't this to live a few more years? I've even drunk less alcohol over the years, so ...... health."

Gao Yanzong looked at the several jars of wine lying next to his cabinet that had obviously been opened, and rolled his eyes secretly, too lazy to expose this sanctimonious old man.

"You look much better than before......"

After leaving this for almost a month, Gao Yanzong actually found that the old man's complexion was much better, and his pale face was a little bloody, although it was still poor, but his spirit was better than before.

"Hehe......" Duan Shao smiled like a child, and said: "When Hu Lu Mingyue hit Tongzhou, he grabbed a doctor back, don't look at him as a character who can't beat a fart with three sticks, his medical skills are not bad, Jinyang is not such a good Langzhong, Hu Lu Mingyue is also interesting enough, as soon as I heard that I was sick, I immediately sent someone over...... As soon as people reach out their hands, they know what is wrong with me......"

"So there is hope for a cure for your disease?" Gao Yanzong's face was happy, these days of marching and fighting, he gradually developed a character of joy and anger, this is a subconscious behavior, if Duan Shao can live for more than ten or twenty years, it is definitely what he and His Majesty want to see.

Daqi can do without Hu Luguang or Gao Changgong, but it can't do without Duan Shao, how many military disasters have been suppressed and quelled by Duan Dadudu, and with him, Jinyang will be as stable as Mount Tai. As soon as he heard that Duan Shao might have hope of recovery, Gao Yanzong suddenly became energetic.

Duan Shao shook his head and said, "I have a chronic disease left over from the previous battle formation, how can I eradicate the ...... of braving swords, guns, swords, halberds all day long, climbing ice and snow in the wind and rain, and lying in the snow?" I drank the decoction every day, barely hanging on to my life......"

Saying that, he looked at Gao Yanzong again, smiled playfully, and asked, "What, boy, are you worried about me?"

I'm worried that I'm gone that day, you can't support Jinyang, and you can't suppress those arrogant soldiers in the six towns? ”

Gao Yanzong was silent, but Duan Shao knew that he was right, so he said: "Now you can't hold back, of course, if the six towns are so easy to transfer, the old man can simply retire and elect a successor...... So the old man can't retreat...... if the old man leaves, I'm afraid that the future generations won't be able to suppress these people......"

"When Emperor Shenwu entrusted Jinyang to me, my mood is the same as that of you now, these people in the six towns, proud soldiers. There are many people who are not subject to control, and they respect me, just because my father is Duan Rong and my aunt is Empress Wuming......

I was still young at that time, and I was suddenly entrusted with important tasks, including the military of Shuo, Ding, And, Zhao, Yi, Cang, Qi, Yan, Liang, Luo, Jin, and Jian, and the twelve states......

The Gao royal family, who is so trusted by my Duan clan, how dare the old man not do his best to repay the kings of the past dynasties? In the first half of the old man's life, most of his life was spent in the military, begging for the pseudo-Zhou, fighting the Southern Liang, pacifying the civil strife, fighting in the east and west, and fighting horses for decades.

To become a metropolitan governor, you don't just need to have an edict from Your Majesty, which can't stop those thorns...... You've got to ...... If you have the right idea, you have endured the hardships, you can endure it for a while, you have the courage and resourcefulness and the courage to listen to you, and all of this depends on your own strength to support!

Your Majesty chose you to take the lead, you must not disappoint the old man, and more importantly, don't disappoint Your Majesty...... what you lack now is convincing strength! The old man arranged for you to have a lot of experience, just for ......" Duan Shao's eyes were blazing, forcing Gao Yanzong to look, "What, you have no confidence and want to retreat?" ”

Gao Yanzong smiled calmly and said, "How come?" I, Gao Yanzong, belong to a donkey, and the more they don't want me to press on their heads, the more I have to climb up! ”

"That's good......" Duan Shao nodded with relief, and suddenly asked, "Dingyang, what are you going to do?" I heard that Wei Xianggui went to persuade Yang Fu to surrender and was refused? ”

"Yes, I threatened him with his son, but I didn't expect him to be really hard-hearted and refused to surrender......"

"What are you going to do next?"

"What else can I do if I attack hard? Yu Wenxian was dragged by the fourth brother, Dingyang was surrounded again, he definitely couldn't be saved, Yu Wenxian wouldn't be so stupid, he would definitely withdraw if he couldn't beat him. As long as you deal with a Yang Fu, Lao Tzu is still afraid of the old horseman? ”

Duan Shao's eyes narrowed lazily, "Are you so sure that Yu Wenxian will give up Dingyang?" What if he held on? ”

Gao Yanzong sneered, "It's better for him to stick to it, Lao Tzu wishes he would stick to it!" If he runs, we will directly fight Dingyang, if he fights, I am not afraid, line up tens of thousands of troops to cooperate with the fourth brother, and sweep him clean! But does he Yu Wenxian dare?

Judging from the performance of his An Ye and Dinglong, he is a very decisive person, when there is no hope, he will not want to withdraw directly, if he gives up Dingyang, or has a glimmer of life, if he sticks to Dingyang, it will definitely be eaten by us even with the bones, I don't believe that he will not calculate this account ......! ”

Duan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It's still that problem, Dingyang, what are you going to do, his son doesn't seem to be very easy to use......" He pointed, "Yuwen Hu is about to call, we have to be fast......"

"Dingyang has now become an isolated city, our army has besieged Dingyang for several months, and Dingyang has to supply Yuwenxian's army with grain and grass, I estimate that Dingyang's grain reserves are insufficient...... As soon as Yu Wenxian withdrew, there were no reinforcements and no food and grass in Dingyang, we were surrounded on three sides, and there was only one way to go. Yang Fu will definitely take risks, we will set up an ambush in the east, and Dingyang can be taken in one fell swoop! ”

Duan Shao called it good. Two days later, Gao Yanzong's army pressed to Dingyang, showing a three-sided encirclement, Yu Wenxian really retreated without a fight, and gave up after making several useless attacks on the periphery of the Qi army, and turned south to confront Gao Changgong, intending to protect Longmen.

Assassin Shi Yang Fu personally went into battle, defending the city tower, Dingyang under the Qi army's several fierce attacks, the outer city was broken, the Dingyang defenders had no food and grass, morale was low, Dingyang finally ushered in a desperate situation, in desperation, Yang Fu had to break through from the east, but unexpectedly fell into the ambush of the Qi army.

Yang Fu was captured, and the father and son were escorted to Yecheng.

In the same month, Yu Wenxian could not resist Gao Changgong's offensive and withdrew his troops from Longmen Ferry. At this point, the whole territory of Fenbei fell into the hands of the Qi army, Yuwen Hu was furious, offended Yu Wenxian, escorted Chang'an to discuss the crime, ordered Liu Yong and other generals to divide troops from Tongzhou to aid Yubi, ordered Guo Rong and Hou Longen to storm the two cities of Dinglong, ordered Yu Wenchun to take the nine cities of Yiyang, Yuwen Hu's army was ready to go, and a new round of war was inevitable......

Duan Shao said: "Don't worry, it won't affect the overall situation, Fenbei is already ours......"

At this time, it was July, and the Fenbei War had not yet touched the real end. Northern Qi Shandong, Huainan, all the work has been arranged, Hu Changji, Zu Ting, Bai Jian and other important ministers returned to the dynasty to resume their lives. They have completely fulfilled the targets set by the imperial court, built city defenses, built water conservancy, and reclaimed land and other things are also being carried out in an orderly manner.

Now, Cushman can finally sit down and wait for the harvest season, the imperial court has been boiling for more than half a year, and it is time to receive the first batch of fruits.

Pei Duzhi went to the Southern Dynasty with Xu Ling, Pei Shiju visited the Turkic court with the Turkic envoys, and Pingjian, Fang Gongyi, Fang Yanqian and others were preparing for the mutual market to open in February next year, and everything was very beautiful and safe.

Until ......, a storm of rumors ravaged Yecheng!
