Chapter 570 Battle of Destiny Who Owns the World (Part [-])
Chapter [-] Battle of Destiny Who Owns the World

Song Zhengben's words were like a boulder falling from the sky, setting off a turbulent wave in Liu Heitai's heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

In fact, Song Zhengben's worries are not impossible.The principle of a large number of people is no stranger to us in a country with a large population.This advantage is also reflected in ancient warfare.But everything has two sides, and a large number of people does not necessarily bring advantages and victory.In the Battle of Feishui in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a typical example of an attempt to win with a superior force but failed miserably.

Now Liu Heikai has a large number of people, because Chen Ying assigned Li Shiji more than [-] troops to attack Li Yang, and then divided his troops to attack Xiangzhou.At this time, the strength of Chen Ying's troops was only over [-].

It is only one-third of Liu Heita's troops. Will Liu Heita, who has an absolute advantage, repeat the mistakes of Cao Cao during the Battle of Chibi, and will repeat the mistakes of Fu Jian during the Battle of Feishui?
While Liu Heitai was silent, other generals of the Xia army, such as Gao Yaxian, Dong Kangmai, and Wang Xiaohu were lost in thought.However, all the generals looked at Liu Heitai in unison, expecting his decision.However, Liu Heikai was also silent at this time. Without saying a word, everyone remained silent. This kind of silence made people flustered.It's even more palpitating.

Liu Heikai was silent for a long time before he said leisurely: "We are not the Wei army who underestimated the enemy, nor the Di Qin army who was invincible back then. No matter the Cao Wei army in front of Chibi or the Di Qin army in the battle of Feishui, we all have A deadly problem, internal discord."

Liu Heikai's analysis is not without reason. During the Battle of Feishui, the historical records only had a few hundred words. Xie Xuanzhang tricked Fu Jian into retreating and crossed the river to fight again. As a result, Fu Jian ordered the Jin army to shout "The Qin army is defeated." However, the Qin army was defeated like a mountain.In fact, the Battle of Feishui, a battle of millions of troops, is mainly fought in three directions, not along the Feishui River. Pengcheng, Xuyi, Weixing and other places in the east were also attacked. The siege of the former Qin army.Nanyang and Xiangyang on the middle road were attacked by the troops of Shuo Shiyue and Fu Pi, and Liu Laozhi's troops in the Huai'an direction were attacked by Fu Rong's 25 troops.There is also an army of [-] under the command of Pei Yuanlue, the general of Bashu Diqin, on the west road.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the Feishui decisive battle, in addition to the middle army in the middle, Fu Jian's troops from the center forward Shi Yue, the east forward Fu Rong's troops, and the west Pei Yuanlue's troops were defeated successively. Fu Jian's four-way army has already Lost three ways, but Fu Jian fought stubbornly.

The origin of the Xia Army's troops is very complicated, and all the generals are military and political. For example, Gao Yaxian, the governor of Baozhou, is not only the governor of Baozhou, but also in charge of Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Jizhou, Mozhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou. , Yingzhou, Mozhou, Tanzhou, and Kyushu.In other words, nearly a quarter of Dou Jiande's territory is under the jurisdiction of Gao Yaxian.He is the veritable northeastern king of the Xia Kingdom, while Liu Heita belongs to the Northwest King of the Xia Kingdom, ruling the seven states of Wuzhou, Ruzhou, Guizhou, Xinzhou, Weizhou, Yingzhou, and Huanzhou.Of Dou Jiande's 39 states, Liu Heitai and Gao Yaxian governed a total of fifteen states.

In fact, the generals are pretty much the same, they are all the Caotou kings of the prefectures and counties, the army under Fu Jian's command is at odds, and Xia's army also has the same situation.

Liu Heikai said: "This is how wars are. When the opportunity comes, we must seize it. Chen Ying is willing to fight our army decisively. We must work together to put Chen Yingqian down first. For other things, let's close the door and deal with it by ourselves." solve!"

Liu Heitai talked all about this, and the generals are not fools.Even if there were some thoughts of preserving strength, it was swept away at this moment.

The other ministries began to prepare nervously. Song Zhengben also opened the Mingzhou treasury and distributed the armor, weapons, arrows and various heavy equipment in Dou Jiande's inventory to the generals of the army.Why did Liu Heitai rebel later, and he transferred Hebei one by one at once, almost turning the sky upside down.

It is because Hebei stores a large amount of equipment.These equipments were prepared by Yang Guang and stored in Zhuozhou when he conquered Goguryeo. As a result, Luo Yi got a small part of these materials, and most of them were cheaper than Dou Jiande.

The equipment of these Qin Wang teachers is actually very ordinary.However, as Song Zhengben opened Dou Jiande's treasury, he took out Dou Jiande's treasures at the bottom of the box. , have issued to the generals of the army.

When these King Qin soldiers saw that they had obtained these equipments, they were overjoyed.In the Sui and Tang dynasties, under the military system, these equipments belonged to the soldiers when they were issued to the soldiers.Even if they retire, they will not hand them in. Whether they are sold or passed on to their children and grandchildren, they can be disposed of.

Originally, there was still a trace of dissatisfaction and complaints in the hearts of the generals of the Xia army, but at this moment, the shotgun changed in the blink of an eye, and they all shouted that this trip was too worthwhile.

……

When Xia Jun was preparing nervously, Tang Jun was not idle.After all, this battle is not a joke. The soldiers of each army are wiping their armors and sharpening their knives. The whole army is just an idler.

That is Chen Ying. Chen Ying is enjoying the massage from Shentian Hanane comfortably, while patiently doing ideological work for Su Dingfang: "Su Dingfang, a good minister chooses the master, why are you so stubborn? Look at me The Tang army is so powerful, its morale is so high, and its equipment is so well equipped, is it possible for the Xia army to win?"

In fact, Chen Ying was also secretly worried. He was not worried about the war in Hebei, but he was only worried about Lingzhou.

However, Chen Ying was a little surprised that the Turkic army did not go south immediately after conquering Shengzhou, but instead grazed in the Monan grassland, as if they were here to make soy sauce.

What Chen Ying didn't know was that Tang's diplomacy contributed to this. Tang Jian was ordered by Li Yuan to send an envoy to the Turks to report the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty to Jielihe Khan. , don't worry about it.Otherwise, we will join forces with Dou Jiande, and Datang and Xia Guo can gather together an army of one million.

If you think you can defeat the millions of troops of our Xia and Tang Dynasties, you can give it a try.

Jieli Khan said at the time that there are ghosts who believe in you.

But Princess Yicheng doesn't think so.

She is a Han Chinese, and she is familiar with this ethnic group and this group.

Once the foreign enemy approaches, Huaxia will really unite.Princess Yicheng didn't know how many people died in the civil strife at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but she knew that the Sui Dynasty had a population of more than 6000 million in the fifth year of Daye, which was [-] times that of the Turkic people.Even if ten lives are exchanged for one, Huaxia can exhaust Turkic confidence.

After Princess Yicheng's patient persuasion, especially when explaining the strength comparison between China and Turks, Jieli Khan broke out in a cold sweat.Among the various tribes on the grassland, this kind of thing is also very common. In a tribe, for the position of the leader of the tribe, several sons of the leader will be beaten to death. , They will shake hands and make peace, first resist foreign enemies, and then compete against each other.

In the end, it was Princess Yicheng who made Jieli Khan determined to watch from the sidelines, telling him that when two tigers fight, one must be injured. The pasture is also very fertile, enough for these soldiers to graze horses and feed sheep.

Chen Ying knew it later, until May 23, the third year of Wude, Chen Ying got the exact news that the Turkic people would not intervene in the fateful battle between Tang Jun and Xia Jun for the time being.

However, at this time, the news that Chen Ying and Liu Heitai were going to have a decisive battle also spread to Chang'an, and the entire Chang'an city was in an uproar.

Now Li Jiancheng is fighting fiercely with Dou Jiande in Hedong. The army under Chen Ying's command is the only strategic mobile force of the Tang army.Xiao Xiangguo immediately asked Li Yuan for his orders, and he must let Chen Ying come back, cooperate with His Royal Highness, defeat Dou Jiande first, and then take Hedong.
