Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 559 When a country is about to perish, there will be evildoers (third shift)
Chapter [-] When the country is about to perish, there will be evildoers

Wang Xiaohu has a very good personal relationship with Dou Jiande, because he knows his old sister-in-law Cao's temper, the more he will not leave at this time.When it was decided to fight to the death, Wang Xiaohu called his own soldiers, and he dictated a letter in his own hand: "Son, I am your father. When you see this letter, immediately take your soldiers and rush Enter the palace, protect the queen and princess, and protect them to meet your Uncle Liu."

Uncle Liu is Liu Heita.

Liu Heitai and Dou Jiande had a lifelong friendship.Wang Xiaohu gathered the generals and soldiers and ordered: "Prepare to sacrifice the flag."

The long ox horn blew the trumpet and whimpered, sad and heroic. The shirtless soldiers carried the animals offering the flag to the incense table.

Dong Kangmai was full of pessimism about this decisive battle, especially Wang Xiaohu's 6 army, which only reached more than [-] people. If he continued to gather troops in the future, even if he could gather [-] or [-] horses, it would not be impossible to fight again at that time. But now, Song Zhengben is reporting urgently almost every day, driving Wang Xiaohu crazy.

Today, he has to scold the eighteen generations of Song Zhengben's ancestors every day. Xia Guo's civil and military officials are not as complicated as the Tang Dynasty. The army was still three or four hundred miles away from Mingzhou, and there was still time for the entire city to retreat, so they begged for help like a ghost.

In fact, the battle has not yet been fought.Wang Xiaohu believed that he would definitely lose.

After barely explaining the funeral, Wang Xiaohu led a depleted force of more than [-] men and horses, and pursued Chen Ying along the embankment of Yongji Canal.

However, Chen Ying's arrangement was precisely a two-winged formation in the attack, with tens of thousands of hooked spear cavalry under Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui guarding Chen Ying's central army.

After seven or eight trials and repeated attempts, Wang Xiaohu's subordinates failed to reach the edge of Chen Ying's army.More than [-] troops were reimbursed for one-third. At this time, Wang Xiaohu's hair was disheveled, his eyes were as red as rabbits, and he was extremely embarrassed. He remained fierce and shouted: "Attack, attack!" !"

In fact, at this time, Wang Xiaohu's troops did not seem to be attacking at all, but committed suicide like moths throwing themselves into a flame.

Facing the dense hook and sickle cavalry and the poorly equipped Wang Xiaohu's troops, there was no possibility of victory at all.

Dong Kangmai, who originally had the support of Wang Xiaohu, really couldn't stand it.

"Old Wang, wake up, you don't fight like you in war!" Dong Kangmai looked at Wang Xiaohu, who looked like a blood man, and roared: "Look, how many soldiers do you have now, how many soldiers do you have if they die? Any sense!"

"Then what do you say?" Wang Xiaohu stared at Dong Kangmai with red eyes and shouted, "What do you say?"

"Chen Ying's cavalry cannot charge in the city, so let's bypass Chen Ying's army, enter Mingzhou first, and fight Chen Ying in a street fight!" Dong Kangmai said angrily: "I don't believe it anymore, he Chen Ying Can you give the cavalry wings?"

Dong Kang's words made Wang Xiaohu wake up.He also feels that there is a way, being brave and tragic is useless, the winner will never show mercy to the loser, defending Mingzhou, Xia Guo still has hope.

Chen Ying followed Xia Jun Wang Xiaohu and retreated. Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui respectively asked whether they should pursue them or not.
Chen Ying said unexpectedly: "Retreat!"

This made the generals very strange, but given Chen Ying's prestige in the army, no one questioned even this unusual order.However, Huai'an Wang Li Shentong asked strangely: "General Chen, this is the best chance to wipe out Xia's army in one fell swoop. Why did you give up this opportunity?"

"When fishing, you must have bait. If you lose the bait, you will not be able to catch fish with an empty hook!" Chen Ying said with a slight smile: "Now Mingzhou is the hook, and Wang Xiaohu and Dong Kangmai are the bait. Just put the bait on the hook to catch the big fish!"

In fact, Chen Ying's intention is very simple, that is to adopt a very famous tactic in later generations-surround the spot to fight for aid.

This is actually the best point. Mingzhou is the capital of Xia Kingdom, and Xia's army has to save it. However, once Xia's army comes to rescue Mingzhou, they will fall into Chen Ying's trap.

In terms of field battles, whether Chen Ying's Modao Army or Xiaoqiqi belonged to the pinnacle of the cold weapon era, they were invincible in field battles.

What's more, as early as the beginning of Chen Ying's journey to the north, the Beiwei army had already left one step ahead and sneaked into Mingzhou in batches. Once the need arises, Chen Ying will win Mingzhou easily with the cooperation of Liu Tong and Xunxiang's troops. .

When Chen Ying's army was still more than three hundred miles away from Mingzhou, the entire Mingzhou city was already undercurrent.Of course, the undercurrent is not only in Mingzhou, but in the whole of Hebei.

Chen Yongbing is ordinary on the surface, but behind the scenes there are many actions.Tiger Yicong's secret work began to publicize the news of Dong Kangmai and Wang Xiaohu's defeat in Hebei.In fact, when Wang Xiaohu's troops were not in contact with Chen Ying's army, nine out of ten troops fell behind.

But in the detailed publicity, it turned out that Wang Xiaohu's 6000 troops were killed, more than [-] people were killed, and more than [-] people were captured. Only [-] people from Wang Xiaohu's troops escaped by chance.

Then it was also announced that Liu Ya of Liyang surrendered the city, and Dong Kang, the governor of Xiangzhou, bought and abandoned the city and fled.

These news are true and false.

In fact, Liu Ya didn't surrender the city, but seeing that the Xia Kingdom was over, Liu Ya was tied up by his confidants and sent to Li Shiji's account. Li Shiji took back Li Yang without bloodshed.

And Xiangzhou, when Dong Kangmai led his troops north to King Qin, Dong Kangmai's subordinate Xu Zhong surrendered to Zhang Huaiwei.

……

Yingzhou is the old capital of Dou Jiande, so it is supposed to be the place where Dou Jiande has the strongest foundation of people's hearts, but although Dou Jiande is very popular, there are always advantages and disadvantages in everything. The world is like a big cake. Aristocratic families eat less.

Lu Shirui, the general manager of Yingzhou, was born in Fanyang Lu family, one of the seven sects and five sects.

When he learned that Chen Ying's army was about to approach the city of Mingzhou, he couldn't wait to send his confidants to send a secret letter to Chen Ying.In the secret letter, Lu Shirui claimed that he was in Cao Ying and his heart was in Han. As long as Chen Ying's army arrived in Yingzhou, he would change the city.

When Chen Ying saw this letter, before he had time to rejoice, Zhao Yuankai, the general manager of Maozhou (now Guantao, a city on the bank of the Yellow River), also sent a letter of surrender to Chen Yingying.

This Zhao Yuankai also came from a famous family, he was the descendant of Zhao Gui, one of the Great Generals of the Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, but he was still Chen Ying's cousin in terms of seniority.Zhao Gui's niece, the Northern Zhou Dynasty's chariot general, and the sister of Zhao Du, the third division of Yitong, married Hou Mo Chen Chong as his wife.This Zhao Du is Zhao Yuankai's grandfather.

What Chen Ying was very speechless was that not only Zhao Yuankai and Lu Shirui, but also the governor of Guanzhou (roughly in Dongguang County, Cangzhou today) was preparing to change his flag.Seeing this scene, Chen Ying couldn't help thinking that in the late Southern Song Dynasty, all the prefectures surrendered one after another, which was a decent resistance at all. The same was true in the late Ming Dynasty. When Japan invaded China, most of the landlords and gentry surrendered and became traitors.Chen Ying sighed: "When the country is about to perish, evildoers will emerge!"

Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, said: "At this time, it is better to attack diplomatic relations than to capture, and it is better to be slow than to be hasty at this time.

Chen Ying asked Li Shendao again: "What do you mean?"

"It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is the nature of a carnivore!" Li Shentong had already planned a response in his heart, but at this time he pondered for a while before saying: "According to the current general trend of the world, there are many things , we can actually do it through negotiation. Now the governor of Yingzhou, Lu Shirui, the governor of Maozhou, Zhao Yuankai, and the governor of Guanzhou, Shi Leide, are preparing to submit letters. In fact, they are just throwing stones to ask for directions. This is a gesture of goodwill, but most people are still watching , They want to see how the general will deal with these surrendered ministers. Once they are dealt with properly, the situation will change! Not only the states and counties in Hebei, which are close to us, responded immediately, but the generals in Shandong and Zhongzhou also sent letters, but they directly expressed their willingness. Surrender."
