Chapter [-] The Biggest Wife in Heaven and Earth is the Biggest

"Want to cry but have no tears?"

"Heart like a knife?"

"Heartbroken?"

……

In fact, these words are not enough to describe Dou Jiande's state of mind.When Dou Jiande received the report of the Battle of Mingzhou, Dou Jiande had just fallen into Li Jiancheng's strategy of attacking east and attacking west.

When Li Jiancheng counterattacked the city of Jinzhou (now Linfen, not Jinzhou, Hebei), Dou Jiande found that Li Jiancheng was just bluffing under the city of Jinzhou and didn't care too much.However, the governor of Zezhou, Xia Guoshi Sheren, and Xu Ling, the regular servant of Zhitong Sanqi, reported to Dou Jiande that a large number of Tang troops appeared in Zezhou.This Zezhou is located in the southeast of Shanxi Province, at the junction of Shanxi and Henan provinces. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is known as "Hedong Pinghan, the throat of the Central Plains, and the gateway of the Three Jins".

The key is that now Dou Jiande is being counterattacked by the army led by Li Jiancheng in Jinzhou, so he has to take a defensive position.Luzhou in the east has already fallen, and if Zezhou is lost again, it will mean that Dou Jiande's retreat will be cut off.Dou Jiande was very cautious about this issue. Seeing that Li Jiancheng had no intention of attacking by force, he ordered his general and the general manager of Weizhou, Cheng Mingzhen, to lead [-] cavalry to rescue Zecheng.

As a result, Cheng Mingzhen was ambushed by Xue Wanche as soon as he left Jinzhou City. Cheng Mingzhen lost to Xue Wanche and retreated to Jinzhou City in embarrassment.At this time, Dou Jiande was about to retire.Under Ling Jing's persuasion, he decided to retreat to Zezhou and join Cao Zhan's troops in Huizhou.

However, as Dou Jiande withdrew from Jinzhou City, Li Jiancheng led the trilogy and chased after him. Dou Jiande retreated from Jinzhou to Zezhou. In a short distance of more than two hundred miles, half of the troops were lost in three days. At this time, Dou Jiande discovered that the outside of Zezhou City was nothing but a group of false soldiers waving flags and bluffing. A mere [-] soldiers and horses, plus [-] to [-] civilians, forced Xu Ling to come to the rescue .

Dou Jiande, who had just lost a big defeat and had low morale, received the battle of Mingzhou in this situation. Liu Heitai and Dong Kangmai died in the battle. Gao Yaxian and Liu Shishan's remaining troops fled with only a few thousand people, and their whereabouts were unknown.

This battle was fought too fiercely, especially the battle surrounding the robbing of Liu Heita and Chen Ying, which became Dou Jiande's worst nightmare since he started the army. Guang rushed up one after another, completely putting his life and death at risk, and that square inch of land became a bloody slaughterhouse for Shura.However, it didn't work.During the attack, the soldiers of the Xia army who participated in this battle lost more than [-] troops, more than [-]% casualties. The troops with high morale are still rare in the world.However, in this battle, Chen Ying was not defeated in the end. Now Hebei's losses are too heavy, and his bones have been broken!

In this battle, the Tang army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but most of them were lightly or severely wounded, and the number of those killed in battle was less than one tenth of that of the Xia army. In this battle, Hebei not only lost tens of thousands of young and strong people, but also lost supplies and morale. I really don't have the courage to count it.Despite paying such a high price, Daxia was defeated in this campaign and Mingzhou was lost.If Mingzhou is just an ordinary city, if you lose it, you will lose it. Although Xia Kingdom does not have Tang Guoda, it still has 39 states and [-] or [-] cities, but the key is that Mingzhou is the capital.

It is a very serious problem for the capital of a country to be captured by the enemy.Dou Jiande looked at the series of shocking numbers, and the more he looked at them, the more his hands trembled.The nightmare he had been trying to avoid all this time was still staged, causing the generals of Daxia to suffer an unprecedented fiasco. What made Dou Jiande the most unacceptable was that Chen Ying did not use tricks in this battle, but the most direct and final The simplest, most brutal hard-hitting.

Dou Jiande burst into fright and anger, finally lost his mind, tore the piece of paper in his hand into pieces and threw it far away, howling!
Howling like a wounded beast!

When Chen Ying led the princes of the Eastern Palace of the Tang Dynasty, the left and right guards, the left and right siyus, the Xiaoqi army, and the Modao army went north along the Yongji Canal, and when they were about to attack Huanglong, Mingzhou, Hebei became the focus of the power of the world, and everyone was very concerned about it. war.

In fact, not only Cui Yifang and Wu Yunzhao of the Qinghe Cui family, but even the governors and governors of Hebei provinces, regardless of King Qin or those without King Qin, sent their confidantes to investigate the battle of Mingzhou.

When Liu Heita was defeated, Dong Kangmai died in battle, and the news that Xia's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out spread to Beizhou.Chen Junshi, governor of Beizhou in the Xia army, did not wait for Chen Ying's army to arrive, and directly changed the account and asked Chen Ying to surrender.

On the morning of June [-]th in the third year of Wude, the exhausted Chen Ying was woken up by Guo Luo.

Chen Ying asked sleepily: "What's going on, can't we wait until dawn?"

Chen Ying was really exhausted, his eyes were not open, but listening to the movement around him, there was silence, it was absolutely impossible for the enemy to attack.

Guo Luo smiled wryly, "Chen Junshi, governor of Beizhou, sent someone to surrender!"

Chen Ying's heart shook, he opened his eyes, and his voice suddenly raised an octave: "What, Beizhou, please surrender?"

Beizhou is just to the east of Mingzhou, adjacent to Mingzhou.This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that this is Dou Jiande's hometown. Historically, it was because of the support of Beizhou people that Dou Jiande has been soaring all the way.

But now, even Beizhou people have abandoned Dou Jiande. Doesn't this mean that Dou Jiande is besieged on all sides?
At this moment, Chen Ying's big tent was opened from the outside, and a gust of cool wind blew in, and Li Shentong rushed into the tent like a gust of wind: "General Chen, what do you think about this matter?"

Chen Ying said directly without thinking: "Ming, Zhang Shigui led the Xiaocai Army's three Zhechong Mansions to station in Beizhou!"

"Stationed in Beizhou?" Li Shen said: "Why do you want to station in Beizhou?"

Chen Ying looked at the letterhead that Li Shentong handed over, and saw that it said: "The prince of Huai'an, the governor of Xingzhou, Chen Zhiyuan, pays homage to him!"

Seeing this, Chen Ying realized that Li Shentong had received the letter of surrender from Xingzhou governor Chen Zhiyuan.

Of course, Xingzhou is also not far from Mingzhou. Xingzhou is to the north of Mingzhou and is adjacent to Mingzhou. It is likely that the news of Liu Heita's defeat has also spread to Xingzhou.

"They're all smart people!" Chen Ying exclaimed, "It's really a wall that's overthrown by everyone, and ordered Luo Shixin's subordinates to send a Zhechong Mansion to station in Xingzhou!"

Chen Ying realized that it was a mistake to allow Zhang Shigui to enter Beizhou. I am afraid that at this time, the hearts of Hebei prefectures have already been shaken, and then a new wave of flag reform is imminent.

Surrender, this kind of thing is like a plague, spreading rapidly in all states in Hebei.

Just three hours later, Zhang Shigui arrived in Beizhou and received a request from Hengzhou.

Immediately afterwards, "Zhaozhou please surrender."

"Shenzhou, please surrender."

"Texas, please surrender!"

"Dingzhou, please surrender!"

"Mozhou, please surrender!"

"Weizhou, please surrender!"

In just one day, Chen Ying successively received the surrender forms attached to Kyushu's request for surrender.At this time, Chen Ying also felt strange. He would not be surprised if Beizhou and Xingzhou, even Hengzhou, were asked to surrender. The distance of more than [-] miles can be reached in one day by a fast horse, but when it comes to Mozhou and Dezhou , with the traffic conditions of this era, it is impossible to arrive within a day. They all handed in their surrender forms within a day, which must be intriguing.

Seeing Kyushu go down without a fight, Feng Deyi felt sour in his heart. He was not only envious of Chen Ying, but also jealous.

Chen Ying's luck is really good.

The whole of Hebei has been settled, I am afraid that Li Yuan will definitely give him a good treatment in the future.

With Chen Ying's contribution alone, as long as the future does not reverse, three generations of wealth and honor are indispensable.

Of course, this is mainly because Datang's titles are also somewhat overflowing.At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Duke of the State granted a lot of titles.However, the titles of the Tang Dynasty were decremented. The next generation from the Duke of the State would be reduced to the Duke of the County, and the next generation would be reduced to the Duke of the County.

Below the duke is the founding marquis.Basically all fourth-rank military generals are founding marquises, so marquises were really worthless in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shentong originally thought that Chen Yinghui would send people to the states and wait for the situation in Hebei to stabilize before requesting an order to oppose Beijing.

However, on June [-]th in the third year of Wude, Chen Yingjiao handed over the seal to Li Shiji, who came nervously, and returned to Chang'an by wheel boat with his personal guards.

Li Shentong and Li Shiji were also brothers in need. They were Dou Jiande's captives together. Li Shentong was really worried about Li Shiji, but no matter how much he persuaded, Chen Ying still insisted on going back to Chang'an.

In Chen Ying's words: "The sky is big and the earth is big, and my wife is the biggest." Because there are only four days left for Chen Ying's big wedding, he doesn't have much time left.
