Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 897
"I lost, and I lost completely."

The autumn wind is gentle.

The sky is blue, the clouds are white, and the wind is gentle.But Liu Heitai's world is gloomy, and his mood is also bitter.

He was very embarrassed at this time.

As Xia Guo's King of Handong County, but at this time he was only wearing a loincloth, his upper body was naked, and he didn't know who had left a big footprint on his buttocks.

Standing in front of the emperor, Liu Heita stretched out his hand to smooth his messy hair.

"Is there any wine?" he asked. "I really want to drink two glasses now."

The emperor beckoned, and a young foster servant poured wine and handed it over. Liu Heitai drank it all in one gulp, "I am a loser, a complete loser, and I have lost everything."

Luo Cheng listened to his confused words and smiled slightly.

"If I knew today, why bother?"

"Yeah, if I knew today, why bother, but it's not too late, right?" Liu Heita held the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at the emperor, his eyes full of expectation.

"What do you want to say?"

Liu Heitai said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Xia and I are as close as brothers, and I would like to go back and persuade him to join us."

But the emperor just shook his head.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe me? Or don't you believe my relationship with Emperor Xia?"

"Liu Heikai, it is said that your nickname is Black Otter? You used to work under me for a while. At that time, I was just a small general with only a few thousand people under my command. I am very concerned. I know your ability and your character. If Dou Jiande is standing in front of me now, then I will believe his words, but now you say that you want to go back and persuade Dou Jiande to surrender. I don’t believe it. "

"Your Majesty, I keep my word." Liu Heita swore.

"Your Majesty, I can help you recruit Hebei. I can save you from a big battle and reduce countless casualties. I can help you eliminate 20 Xia troops. Your Majesty, you have to trust me."

But the emperor just shook his head.

"Liu Heikai, I won't let you go back to Hebei. If you really want to, then you can write a letter of persuasion to Dou Jiande and the others. Of course, I won't care too much, because I don't think it will be useful. Now, even if Dou Jiande is willing to surrender, his generals may not be willing to surrender, there will still be a battle sooner or later, and if they don’t fight this battle, they will still have illusions." Luo Cheng waved his hand, and a few guards came up, "Take He took it down, by the way, bring him a jug of wine, this jug of wine is a tribute to the old relationship that we fought side by side, but that's all."

Liu Heita was dragged away by the guards in despair.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to surrender. I can surrender Hebei for you. I am willing to conquer Guanzhong and Jiangnan for Your Majesty!" Liu Heita shouted hoarsely.

The guards ignored him.

"Your Majesty, Liu Heita is a fierce general, and he is rare in terms of martial prowess. Why don't you accept him?" Xiao Yu asked.

Wei Zheng said with a smile, "Your Majesty does not lack strong generals now, and I am like a cloud of fierce generals. Although Liu Heitai is fierce, he has a mediocre character and is unruly. At first he voted for His Majesty, and then left. Then he followed Dou Jiande, on the way, went to vote for Li Mi, Li Mi failed, and he came back to attach himself to Dou Jiande. Such a person, how can he be used, not to mention, now that Dou Jiande has not attached himself, Liu Heitai will never really attach himself."

The emperor smiled and nodded to Wei Zheng. Wei Laodao's guesses were quite accurate in many places.

"Call Zaifu, military discussion!"

The Battle of Daibei is considered to be over. Of the 20 Turkic troops, only [-] have not been encircled and wiped out, but the emperor has already planned to leave them alone for the time being.

Even if Xieli escaped, he only sent Qingqi to hunt him down.

Soon, in Yunzhong City, the prime ministers and generals gathered.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

With the defeat of Jieli, the biggest crisis in Daqin was resolved.

"Your Majesty, Jieli fled in panic. Who shall we fight next? Dou Jiande of Hebei or Li Yuan of Guanzhong?"

The emperor leaned on the back of the chair, very comfortable and relaxed. During this period of time, his nerves were tense, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"North first and then south. This is a decision that was drawn up earlier. Now that Jieli's army is gone, and he fled north in a panic, we can ignore him for now. The Turks in Mobei will be handed over to the Tiele people to bite. Now we It is better to pacify the north first. I think that we can concentrate our forces to attack Dou Jiande first, and after pacifying Hebei, we can settle Guanzhong."

Although the current strength of the Qin army can fight on two fronts, it is difficult to provide logistics. After all, this war has been fought for several months, mobilizing tens of thousands of horses and horses, which cost a lot.

"I support you."

Zhang Xutuo, the privy envoy of the top military figure, made a statement.

"I also support fighting Hebei first."

Minister of the Ministry of War Wei Wensheng followed closely.

Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Du Yan, Hou Mochen and other prime ministers also agreed.There is still too much pressure to start fighting on the east and west fronts.

Now that there are Luo Siye and Li Gui's troops on the western front, that's enough, and they don't expect them to defeat Li Yuan and enter Guanzhong, as long as they cooperate with Wuguan's Shan Xiongxin and Sanguan's Huang Junhan to put pressure on Guanzhong, so that Li Yuan can't Just go out and make trouble.

After cleaning up Hebei, it will be a matter of course to come to Pingguanzhong again.

"Your Majesty, Li Zitong captured the three counties of Jiangdu, Liyang, and Zhongli, Shen Faxing captured Lujiang and Tong'an, Lin Shihong captured Qichun, and Xiao Xian also sent troops to attack the four counties of Eastern Han. Today, most of our Great Qinhuai South Road and Shannan Road have been lost."

Hou Mochen reminded the emperor that at the same time as the great victory in the north, there were also some minor problems in the south.

"I decided to appoint Qin Qiong as the camp manager of Huainan Road, responsible for the Huainan frontline war, recovering the city, and repelling the invasion. As for the Shannan front line, I appointed Shan Xiongxin as the camp manager, in charge of the Shannan Road battle."

Regarding the wars in these two places, the emperor's instructions were to fight only a limited defense and counterattack, to repel the invasion and regain the lost ground, without expanding the scale, and not crossing the Yangtze River or the Han River.

Therefore, the emperor did not have many soldiers and horses for the two general managers, and each sent them an army of 4000 people, plus the existing more than [-] people in the two provinces.

After the victory, of the hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, 10 will go south, [-] of which will be stationed in Luoyang and Hedong, and the other [-] will be led by Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin to guard Huainan and Shannan.

For the remaining army, Cheng Yaojin led an army of 4000 to guard Hetao, Liu Hongji led [-] to guard Mayi, and Xue Wanche led [-] to Taiyuan.

Zhao Gui led an army to garrison Fanyang, Feng Xiaoci led an army to garrison Weibo, and the emperor personally led 5 troops out of Hengshan via Jingxing.

The rest of the troops were disbanded and returned to their hometowns.

Luo Cunxiao led an army out of Qi County in Shandong Province, crossed the Yellow River to the north, and Luo Shixin led an army out of the pass to attack Hejian from the sea.

An army of 15 was divided into five groups to besiege Dou Jiande, Hebei.

"Three months, before the first snow falls, attack Dou Jiande in one fell swoop and pacify Hebei!"

At the imperial military meeting, the emperor slammed his fist on the map, speaking with pride.

Autumn is not long now, and it will take about three months before the first snow falls.

"March destroys summer, pacifies Hebei!"

Everyone shouted!
After defeating the Turks, the Qin army was extremely confident.
