At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 629
Summer is really here, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. In a paddy field on the outskirts of Changle, Xindu County, Dou Jiande is tucking up his trousers and working hard to clear the weeds in the field. generally.

The majestic Changle King actually went to work in the field in person, which is really eye-popping, and Dou Jiande is dressed like an old country farmer. If you don't know him, who would know that this person is actually the famous Changle King Dou Jiande?
Finally, Dou Jiande cleaned up all the weeds in a paddy field, and then went to the ridge, scooped up the water in the field with his hands, and washed the mud on his feet, and then went to the shade of the tree, from the hands of the soldiers. Li took the water bag and started to drink it.

General Gao Yaxian had been waiting under the tree for a long time, and now he had the opportunity to report: "Xu Shiji and Lu Sheng tried to lead the army south, but our people stopped them."

Dou Jiande sneered and said, "The news about these two guys is quite well-informed, but it's not that easy to snatch meat from my mouth, Dou Jiande. By the way, how is Yu Wenhua and the current situation, can you find out clearly?"

Gao Yaxian also smiled and said: "I have made it clear. Li Mi and Yu Wenhuaji fought fiercely for more than ten days. Both sides suffered heavy casualties, but Yu Wenhuaji's losses were greater, and the food supply was not enough. The generals under his command defected one after another. , are almost becoming lonely, this time is a good time for us to make a move."

Dou Jiande nodded and said: "This is almost as expected by the king. How many people are there in Yu Wenhua and his subordinates?"

"It won't exceed [-], and they are all so weak that they won't be able to shrink back after they invaded Handan." Gao Yaxian said.

Dou Jiande couldn't help wrinkling his head. The [-] troops was much more than he expected, and the opponent was still huddled in the city. It was not easy to take it down smoothly. It might cost him a certain price, but if he didn't do anything at this time, Yu Yu Wen Huaji took a breather, I'm afraid this battle will be more difficult to fight, and Xu Shiji is still eyeing Zhao County, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp, maybe he will cause trouble after a long time, and it is inevitable that he will have long nights and dreams.

"How to deploy Li Mi's troops?" Dou Jiande asked quickly again, if he wanted to take down Yu Wenhuaji, he had to be wary of Li Mi.

Gao Yaxian gloated a little: "I heard that Li Mi was injured by Liu Shi and has returned to Ji County to recuperate. However, Pei Renji was sent to guard Liyang Cang, Shan Xiongxin to guard Fuyang County, Wang Bo to guard Linshui County, and Meng Rang to guard Cheng'an County. With the trend of pin characters, it is estimated that it is to guard against Yu Wenhua and go south."

When Dou Jiande heard this, he said happily: "Since the Wagang Army has taken a defensive position, it seems that Li Mi is really injured, so please help me, let's go back to the city, and immediately summon the troops to take the oath to fight."

At the moment, Dou Jiande and Gao Yaxian returned to the city in a hurry, summoned a group of advisers and generals to discuss, and everyone agreed to send troops, so Dou Jiande immediately summoned troops.

On April [-]th, Dou Jiande assembled an army of [-], known as [-] to the outside world, and then set out to sacrifice the flag by the Zhangshui River, vowing to crusade against the king-killing traitor Yu Wenhuaji.

Originally, Dou Jiande himself was the grass-headed king who opposed the Sui Dynasty, and he had never been a courtier of the Sui Dynasty for a day. Therefore, it is not so reasonable to shout out the reason for hunting down the king-killing traitors, but fortunately, the sacrificial wine under Dou Jiande's command Ling Jing was a well-learned man, and he racked his brains to write a call to action for Dou Jiande. As soon as this flamboyant call to arms came out, the reason for Lao Dou to send troops became grand.

Ling Jing's essay was written in the tone of Dou Jiande, roughly translated as: Although I, Dou Jiande, was not an official of the Sui Dynasty, I have been a commoner of the Sui Dynasty for decades. I have experienced two generations of monarchs in the Sui Dynasty, So I still have a lot of affection for the Sui Dynasty. Now that Yu Wenhua killed the Sui Emperor, he is a big treason, an enemy of the world, and also my enemy of Dou Jiande, so I must send troops to do it.

After Dou Jiande read out this eloquent call to action in public, he immediately sent his troops south to Handan, ready to go!
……

In Gaoyang County, Hejian County, His Royal Highness King Qi, who has just finished his vacation and is fully charged with his beautiful wife and concubine, is now calling for a meeting with all the generals in full swing.

Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "I just received the news that King Changle sent troops to attack Yufang Huaji."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "Dou Jiande has finally entered the game. This old fox is really stable. If it weren't for General Xu and Xiao Lu pretending to go south to grab merit, he might not have sent troops."

Pei Xingyan, a war maniac, was full of excitement. After a few months of idleness, his whole body seemed to be uncomfortable. Now he can finally move his muscles and bones, and said with a grinning smile: "Yu Wenhuaji still has [-] Xiaoguo troops under his command, which is enough for Dou Jiande to drink a drink." It's too late, don't be an old cat burning its beard, stealing a chicken won't make you lose money, hehe!"

Du Ruhui and Wen Yanbo looked at each other, and there was a hint of excitement hidden in their eyes. Changle King Dou Jiande has now seriously restricted the space for the development of Qi State to the south. It seems that King Qi is determined to settle this stumbling block this time, but there is a covenant The relationship with the father-in-law cannot be done by force. Therefore, it is not easy to handle things properly. This is a matter of wisdom and ability.

Gao Bufan lightly brushed the stubble on his chin, looking thoughtful, and everyone quieted down tactfully so as not to interrupt his train of thought.

…………

Let's say that after Yu Wenhuaji fled into Handan City, he was exhausted and extremely depressed. The ambition brought about by the initial victory has been wiped out.

"Duke Ju, how many troops do we have?" Yu Wenhuaji asked anxiously.

Pei Qiantong replied: "We still have more than 20,000 people!"

When Yu Wenhuaji heard this, his heart sank even more. He thought that when he left Jiangdu, he had an army of [-] Xiaoguo. In just a few months, more than [-] went there. Li Mi is really a formidable thief. What should I do now?Don't even think about becoming the master, maybe you will lose your life.

Pei Qiantong glanced at the devastated Yu Wenhuaji, and comforted him: "Prime Minister, don't be depressed, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Although we have suffered a defeat, we still have more than 20,000 people, and Li Mi's loss is not small. It is said that Li Mi was also shot, and now that his life and death are unknown, we may not have a chance to win it back."

When Yu Wenhuaji heard this, he immediately regained some confidence, nodded and said, "What the Duke of Ju said is very true, we still have a chance to make a comeback, by the way, where are Chen Zhilue and Zhang Tongren, why don't you see them?"

Both Chen Zhilue and Zhang Tongren are middle-level generals of the Xiaoguo Army.

Pei Qiantong sighed and said, "They all surrendered to Li Mi with their subordinates."

Yu Wenhuaji was furious and said: "These two bastards, the Prime Minister treats them well, but now they have fallen into trouble and betrayed the Prime Minister, they should be killed!"

Pei Qian said to An Wei: "There is no need to conspire with each other if the way is different. There is no need for the prime minister to be angry because of them, and they have all run away. If you chase them, you will not be able to come back."

Yu Wenhuaji gritted his teeth and said: "If these two shameless traitors fall into my hands in the future, I will teach them what life is better than death."

Pei Qiantong nodded and said: "The Prime Minister is also tired, let's go in and rest first, there are still many things to deal with tomorrow."

Yu Huaji was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart at this moment, so he said: "Forget it, then I will go in and rest for a while, and I will leave the matter of city defense to the Duke of Ju. Do it well, and this prime minister will not treat you badly."

A trace of imperceptible sarcasm flashed in Pei Qiantong's eyes, but he still generously expressed his loyalty, and Yu Wenhuaji left with a little peace of mind.

After comforting Yu Wenhuaji, Pei Qiantong inspected the city defense, and finally came to a house in the city. A man in green robe stood facing the window, with his back to Pei Qiantong. He had a very elegant demeanor, obviously a civil servant.

Pei Qiantong saluted respectfully: "My lord, Yu Wenhuaji has come after he has settled down for the time being."

The man nodded and said lightly, "You've done a good job, the bait is ready now, let's see how many big fish take the bait."

Pei Qiantong sneered and said: "Dou Jiande has already taken the bait. I don't know if Gao Changqing will come, but Li Mi is said to be injured. He should not come, but let him escape."

The man said indifferently: "Li Mi is treacherous, it may not be because he was injured, maybe he deliberately released the wind to paralyze the enemy."

Pei Qian said happily: "That's even better, if you come here, you'll catch them all at once, and you'll be done once and for all."
