Chapter 30, the battle between the East Court and the North Court

The poem says:

The adviser shook his tongue lightly, and then made thousands of horses fight thousands of troops.

The strong man fought to the death, and the general fought bloodily.

The sound of drums is like grass, and the horses are dusty.

Later generations must remember that Li Min is afraid of making trouble and leaving people.

On the same day, Chai Junmou met Du Huaibiao, and Du Huaibiao was surprised that Tang Zirong sent a messenger, but he didn't know what he wanted.

Chai Junmou was not shocked to death: "Chai not only came as a messenger of the West Court, but also said that he wanted to save the lives of your three armies!"

Du Huaibiao listened to it and said with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. is a lobbyist, so he can spray people with big words!"

Chai Junmou said: "Although I am a lobbyist who is good at talking big, I am also convincing people with reason, and I am by no means spraying indiscriminately. I'll just say one thing -

Zhu Gong, you support the army to clear the stream pass, sit back and watch the displaced people in the eastern eight states cause chaos, Zhu Gong, your original intention, I am afraid that it is to indulge it first, and then force it, to force the displaced people out of the eastern eight states, so that they can make trouble, so as to make profits, right?"

When Du Huaibiao heard this, he was shocked: this person has good eyesight, and he can actually see the original thoughts of Ben Zhugong!

However, Du Huaibiao had an angry expression on his face, and said: "You are so bold! You are so arrogant! You dare to deduct basins for Ben Zhugong! If it weren't for the unwritten old rule of 'two countries are fighting, don't cut them off', Ben Zhu Gong would have cut off your head right now!"

"Zhu Gong, you can naturally cut off my head now, but I'm afraid that Zhu Gong will not allow anyone to speak, and he will be cut off by others soon!"

Du Huaibiao said: "Let's talk about it, what is the reason? If you don't pay attention to it, Ben Zhugong will have to cut off your head and send someone back to Xiting!"

Chai Junmou said: "I, the lord of the Western Garden, have now established himself as the emperor of the Khan, please Du Zhugong think about it, since my country has become self-reliant, we will definitely fight to establish the country's prestige." With whom to go to war? Of course, Zhong Fangying is preferred.

As for Zhong Fangying? Zhong Fangying, who is in control of the Datong government, is bound to use troops against our country! However, if the Zhong clan wants to use troops against our country, how can they have no worries about the future? What are the worries of the Zhong clan? Please Du Zhugong think twice!

Du Huaibiao listened and groaned: "Mr. is reasonable. However, there are 200,000 elites in my Eastern Garden, and my Du Huaibiao's head is not easy to cut off!"

Chai Junmou said: "It is true that Du Zhugong has 200,000 elites, however, if Yang Qingcai Zhang Yousan and the Dongting soldiers fight in front, and the Zhong clan's soldiers go out of Tianning Pass and attack Zhugong's back road, what will happen at that time?"

When Du Huaibiao heard this, his face changed greatly: "Where did you start with this?"

Chai Junmou said: "When Chai came, he stole through Tianning Pass, and I heard that Zhong Fangying's love general Ning Cheng had led 100,000 troops to the pass, let me ask Tianning Pass to increase troops, if it is not for you, who is it for?"

When Du Huaibiao heard this, he asked, "Since Mr. is so knowledgeable, I don't know if there is a good way to teach me?"

Chai Junmou said: "There are good ways, but I'm afraid that you can't do it." ”

Du Huaibiao said: "Sir, don't care if Ben Zhugong can do it, just talk about the way." ”

Chai Junmou said: "Chai Mou is here, and he is really on the order of my lord Emperor Khan, and he has specially come to form an alliance with Zhu Gong to attack Zhong Fangying. If Zhu Gong is willing to form an alliance, I will say a feasible way. ”

Du Huaibiao said: "Tang Zirong can have a talent like Mr. You, how can I not be willing to form an alliance with him? Yes, very willingly! Please tell me your method?"

When Chai Junmou heard this, he said: "The solution is the words 'East and West War'. ”

Du Huaibiao said: "Yang Qingcai and Zhang Yousan in the east are just refugees, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to make peace with them." ”

Chai Junmou said: "If you want to make peace, it's completely okay." ”

"How so?"

Chai Junmou said: "Zhu Gong, please think about it, then Li Shijian will fight in Sanzhou, and the soldiers will be in the front, can't Zhang Yousan and Yang Qingcai see it? I'm afraid that they won't be able to eat and sleep all day long because of this matter!"

If Zhu Gong makes peace with them and promises to help them, I am afraid that they will immediately turn around and attack Li Shijian!"

Du Huaibiao was very happy when he heard this.

Chai Junmou saw that he had succeeded, so he said: "Chai Mou is willing to go for Zhu Gong, so he will see the reality of Yang Qingcai and Zhang Yousan, and he will persuade them to make peace with Zhu Gong." ”

So Chai Junmou came to Yang Qingcai's army again.

Seeing Yang Qingcai, Chai Junmou said: "Chai Mou was originally a mountain village man, and he couldn't bear to be wiped out by the Heavenly King's army, so he made a special plan. ”

Yang Qingcai was pulling Zhang Yousan to deal with the Dongting soldiers together, in a dilemma, of course he was happy when he heard this, so he asked Chai Junmou for advice.

Chai Junmou said: "The way to use soldiers is first of all to use strategy. Before using the strategy, you must understand the situation. Now that your army is in the East Courtyard in front and Li Shijian in the back, how can you keep peace when you are attacked on both sides? For the sake of today's plan, it is better to make good friends with the East Court soldiers and deal with Li Shijian with Zhang Yousan, which is the best policy. ”

Yang Qingcai said: "What Mr. said is certainly reasonable, but how can we make peace with Dongting? If it is said to be peace with Li Shijian, then the possibility is great." ”

Chai Junmou said: "Otherwise, the Dongting soldiers are worried about internal and external troubles, and they can just make peace, Li Shijian is in the limelight, but it is difficult to make peace."

Another point, there are 200,000 elite soldiers in Dongting, and Du Huaibiao's strength is far better than Li Shijian's, not to mention that Du Huaibiao himself is also a person with strong martial arts?"

Yang Qingcai said: "The strength of the Dongting soldiers is stronger than Li Shijian, and this Heavenly King also understands this, but the Dongting soldiers are originally the army of the imperial court, how can there be any internal and external troubles?"

Chai Junmou said: "Du Huaibiao and Zhong Fangying are at odds with each other, which is well known. Tang Zirong established his own khanate, and Zhong Fangying must represent the imperial court to conquest, however, if Zhong Fangying wants to conquer Tang Zirong, he must first solve Du Huaibiao's worries.

From this point of view, isn't Du Huaibiao suffering from internal and external troubles? At this time, making peace with Du Huaibiao is to eliminate external troubles for him, so how can he disagree?"

Yang Qingcai listened, was overjoyed, and thanked him again and again!

Chai Junmou said, "No thanks", then said goodbye and left.

However, it was said that after Du Huaibiao went to Chai Junmou, he inquired about the news for several days, and saw that Zhong Fangying really sent the golden gun Ning Cheng to guard Tianning Pass, and sent the fierce general Ran Xiong to Tokyo as a second route reinforcement, Du Huaibiao was furious at the time:

"The old thief has Ning Cheng, and this pillar has the ring head sword Lu Yan to fight the enemy!"

It turned out that although Lu Yan, the first sword of this ring, was only the seventh in the martial arts examination, but after Du Huaibiao lost Du Meng and Su Liang, as soon as he learned of Lu Yan's whereabouts, he was soft and hard and vowed to pull him over.

Lu Yan couldn't stand Du Huaibiao's personal visit to the door and paid a lot of money, so he recently defected to Du Huaibiao.

At that time, Du Huaibiao invited Lu Yan to the account and said, "General Lu, Xiting Tang Zirong established himself as the Khan Emperor, and Zhong Fangying's old thief did not seek thieves for the country and exterminate Tang Zirong, but increased troops to Tianning Pass to deal with this father!"

On that day, Ningguan and Qingliu Pass were the same as the Qingliu Pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Duke intended to avoid the real and attack the false, so he asked General Lu to guard the Qingliu Pass and take charge of the affairs of Linzhou Prefecture. Bengong personally led the troops out of Fengzhou, and hit him first, the old thief of Beiningzhou!"

Lu Yan said: "If the lord wants to fight, the ministers will fight, and if they want to defend, the ministers will defend." It's just that behind our army, Yang Qingcai and Zhang Yousan have not yet been exterminated, and it is really a trouble!"

At this time, it was reported that Yang Qingcai's army had come to ask for peace. Du Huaibiao laughed: "Chai Junmou is not bullied, he can do it very well!"

Du Huaibiao readily agreed, and the two sides made peace.

After signing and detaining, Du Huaibiao really personally led the 100,000 horses of the Dongting Army to Xiaofengzhou, just for Xiaofengzhou, which is the closest to Zhong Fangying's nest!

Du Huaibiao's troops left Xiaofengzhou, how could Zhong Fangying not know this news? Zhong Fangying was also a meteor scout, and he kept inquiring about Du Huaibiao's news. When he heard that Du Huaibiao and Yang Qingcai had made peace and sent troops to attack their hometown of Beining Prefecture, they were also furious:

"Du Lao Pifu does not beg for thieves for the country, but makes peace with thieves, trying to make peace with my Bac Ninh Prefecture, which is really hateful!"

Zhong Fangying had already ordered his son Zhong Er to make preparations to capture the big and small Fengzhou, and now he naturally ordered his son to attack first.

Zhong Er wanted to get his father's order, so he led 100,000 elite soldiers from Beiting to travel all the way along Qinglong Mountain. Along the way, there are defenders, and now they are gaining it, and they are especially increasing the three passes: Panguyu, Dadao Pavilion, and Tiger's Mouth.

All three are in Bac Ninh. Out of the tiger's mouth, turn to the southeast, is the small Fengzhou realm, along the Qinglong Mountain system to this side, there are also two passes in the territory of this large and small Fengzhou, one is the Golden Pagoda Pass, the other is the Heishui Pass.

Before the vanguard of the army reached the tiger's mouth, the original 10,000 defenders of the tiger's mouth had already rushed to attack Jinta Pass under the leadership of the defending general Zhong Danian.

Du Huaibiao heard that Zhong Er's men and horses had attacked his subordinates first, and of course he was angry. He ordered the front army to speed up and aid the defenders of Jinta.

Not to mention that Zhong wanted to attack from Xiaofengzhou, and then Zhong Fangying, he ordered his son to march, and at the same time, he also led his troops out of Chungju, through Xiaohuju in Chungju, to Dafengju.

Zhong's is a two-way attack, and Du Huaibiao wants to break through all the way.

When Du Huaibiao heard that Zhong Fangying led the troops from Xiaohuzhou, he said to his sons Du Long and Du Hu: "You two brothers, lead 20,000 troops to Zaowang Mountain, guard the main road, don't go to battle, just block Zhong Lao Thief, and don't let him enter Dafeng Prefecture." For my father's sake, I rushed to Jinta Pass and killed Zhong and asked for this little thief. ”

Dulong Duhu asked: "Abba, Khufu, the guard general of the Stove King Mountain, has a thousand catties of bravery, and he is a famous general of our army, after my brother arrives, let him go to Jinta Pass to help you, right?"

Du Huaibiao laughed and said: "Son, you don't have to worry about me! The only military general in the Four Pillars of the Datong Khanate is you Abba and I. Otherwise, how can you go from a flat-headed commoner to an official to a pillar duke?

That old thief only climbed to a high position because he relied on Zuyin as an official and was good at officialdom operations! He came from two routes, and I only broke through all the way, so I had to take down his nest in Bac Ninh!

Remember, you must guard the Stove King Mountain for me, and if you don't allow him to cross it, it will be considered a success!"

Du Long and Du Hu led the troops away.

When Du Huaibiao's army rushed to Jinta Pass, Zhong Eryao's army had already arrived at the tiger's mouth, and his general Zhong Danian had already attacked Jinta Pass for two days.

Du Huaibiao came to the Golden Pagoda Pass, called the general Li Fengyang and asked, "General Li, how is the battle in the past two days?"

Li Fengyang said: "Back to Zhugong, Zhong Danian guarded 10,000 horses at the tiger's mouth, and transferred 8,000 people to attack, and I only have 3,000 people, but the last general will remember your order. In the past two days, 40 ladders of the enemy army have been discounted, and nearly 2,000 enemy soldiers have been destroyed!"

It turned out that after Zhong Fangying defeated Dafengzhou by Du Huaibiao, he selected two generals, Zhong Danian and Wu Sisi, each with 10,000 horses to garrison, and it was Du Huaibiao who guarded Du Huaibiao at the two passes of Laohukou (in Beining Prefecture, choking the main road between Beining and Xiaofengzhou) and Fenghuangpo (in Beiyuanzhou, choking the main road between Beiyuan Prefecture and Dafengzhou).

Du Huaibiao knew that others were defending themselves, but in order not to tear his face, he selected Li Fengyang and Nangong Chao on the corresponding important passes, and each led 3,000 troops to treat. Although there are only 3,000 Du soldiers, they explain clearly, focusing on defense, and always keep an eye on Zhong Danian and Wu Sisi's every move!

At this time, Li Fengyang reported the battle situation, and Du Huaibiao was very happy to hear it, so he said:

According to what you say, his current combat effectiveness in Zhong Danian is only 6,000 people, and my soldiers have arrived, and 80,000 horses have come out to destroy Zhong Danian first, and give Zhong Danian a head start!"

So the gate of the Golden Pagoda Pass was wide open, and the army poured out and rushed straight to the enemy camp.

Na Zhong Danian couldn't attack for two days, and he was anxious, and when he saw that the other party opened and closed the door today, and the army came out, he was shocked and scared in his heart.

So Zhong Danian led his troops to resist, but Du Huaibiao surrounded Zhong Danian's company and battalion with 80,000 to 6,000.

Zhong Danian saw that the soldiers around him were getting fewer and fewer, and he couldn't help but sigh: "The soldiers are very fast, I only said that the guards of Jinta Pass are only 3,000 people, and they will be able to take it quickly, who knows that Li Fengyang will not be able to defend it! Now that I am suddenly surrounded by Du Huaibiao's army, I Zhong Danian has no way to live!"

Zhong Danian was about to raise his sword to kill himself, and suddenly heard a drum that shook the sky, and saw that the Dongting soldiers were attacking in a chaotic formation!
