At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 803 Mutual Suspicion
Li Zitong originally planned to lead the army in person to meet Gao Bufan for a while, but after leaving Jiangdu City, he received the news of the defeat of the navy as soon as he walked near Gaoyou County, and then Xu Cheng also fell, which made him break out in a cold sweat. At the moment, he was stationed in Gaoyou and hesitated. At the same time, he sent people to urge Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing to quickly reinforce and jointly respond to the Qi army's attack.

Both Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing were heroes of the moment, and they were unwilling to be subdued by others, so the three of them were actually close to each other. The reason why they united to deal with Pei Xingyan a while ago was due to their interests. When they arrived in Xiapi County of Qi State, Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing got very little benefit, so they were extremely dissatisfied.This time Li Zitong clamored to unite against the Qi army again, but Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing were not so active. If they were not afraid of the cold lips and teeth, they would not even agree to join forces with Li Zitong.

Therefore, Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing have been procrastinating for a long time to send troops, just to make Li Zitong and Qi Jun fight to the same extent before taking advantage of it.However, when the news of the disastrous defeat of Li Zitong's navy in Hongze Lake came, both Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing were taken aback, because they still knew the strength of Li Zitong's navy, and they were able to defeat Li Zitong in such a short period of time. It was defeated by the Qi Army Navy, and it was still a disastrous defeat, with a loss of more than [-]%. So how strong is the Qi Army Navy?

For a moment, both Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing broke out in cold sweat from fright, and they also began to get anxious. They all understood the reason why Li Zitong was killed by the Qi army, then they would be the ones who would be unlucky next, so the two dared not No matter how neglectful he was, he quickly sent troops to reinforce Li Zitong.

Du Fuwei sent his good brother and deputy Fu Gongyou to lead 2 horses to Gaoyou County, while Shen Faxing sent his son Shen Lun to Gaoyou County with 2 horses.Li Zitong learned that the reinforcements of Du and Chen were coming, and he finally calmed down. He rectified the remnants of the navy and stationed at Gaoyou Lake, while the land army was stationed near the canal north of Gaoyou City. Ten thousand people, as long as Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing's reinforcements arrive, there will be 6 people, enough to break the wrist with the Qi army.

Cui Shiyao, a brainless woman, had hoped that her husband Li Zitong would defeat the Qi army, and then bring Gao Changqing back to humiliate her, so that she could breathe a sigh of relief. As a result, Wu Jun's navy was defeated in Hongze Lake, and then Xu Cheng also Lost, the girl couldn't help being disappointed, and at the same time became anxious, and then suddenly woke up, dreams, it seems, usually come in reverse!

Let’s say that Gao Bufan led the main force to the south from Pengcheng, and took back Xiapi County, which was previously taken by the Wu army, without bloodshed. In Yisan County, the soldiers are approaching Gaoyou.

And Liu Heitai was also quite fierce. He led the vanguard of the [-] Qi army to take advantage of the victory to kill Xuyi County, went down to the city in three days, and then captured Duliang Palace and Yongfu County.Near Yongfu County, Liu Heitai encountered [-] Chu troops sent by Du Fuwei to support him (Note: Du Fuwei called himself the king of Chu, so he was called the Chu army).

It was Fu Gongyou who was in charge of leading the [-] Chu army. Liu Heitai's morale was high right now, and he tried to defeat Fu Gongyou in one go. He retreated to set up camp, built fortifications, and made a defensive posture, but Fu Gongyou didn't dare to attack rashly, so the two sides confronted each other twenty miles apart.

Not long after, Fu Gongyou received Gao Bufan's imperial decree to recruit security. He couldn't help being very surprised, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he sent someone to rush Gao Bufan's imperial decree back to Liyang County in the rear, and handed it over to Dewey for decision.

After reading Gao Bufan's imperial decree, Du Fuwei was also very surprised. It is rumored that Pei Xingyan is a good brother of Emperor Qi Gao Changqing. Because Pei Xingyan was killed in battle, Gao Changqing took the imperial conquest himself in a rage. Now he has issued an order to recruit himself. Don't plan to avenge your good brother?Or is it just a delay?
Du Fuwei threw the imperial decree aside casually, and fell into deep thought. A hero like him is naturally unwilling to submit to others. If it is not a last resort, how could he be recruited? He would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen.

Not long after Du Fuwei received Da Qi's imperial decree, Shen Faxing also received it. His reaction was similar to Du Fuwei's, and even more extreme. Well, yes, Shen Faxing's despicable behavior has ruined the lives of the whole family. When the envoy of Qi brought the news back, all the soldiers of the Qi army exploded with anger.

As the saying goes, the master worries about the humiliation of his ministers, and the master humiliates his ministers to death!Shen Faxing dared to burn the imperial decree of our emperor in public, and even mocked and ridiculed our emperor.
For a while, the entire Qi army reached a tacit agreement, and when they encountered Shen Faxing's army in the future, they would fight to the death and would not give them a chance to survive!
Let's talk about Li Zitong, who also received Gao Bufan's imperial decree to recruit security. Although he didn't burn it, he threw it directly into the trash can. Unless the knife rested on his neck, he would not consider surrendering. However, he was suspicious by nature and couldn't help guessing that Du Will Fu Wei and Shen Faxing receive the imperial decree, and if so, will they accept it?
Thinking of this, Li Zitong couldn't help fidgeting, and sent envoys to Shen Lun and Fu Gongyou's camp to inquire, and finally found out that Du Fuwei and Shen Faxing both received the imperial edict of Zhao'an. Although Shen Faxing burned the imperial edict, Du Fuwei But not, plus Fu Gongyou has been standing still, Li Zitong is even more suspicious that Du Fuwei intends to accept the recruitment.

In this way, Li Zitong was suspicious, fearing that Du Fuwei would suddenly turn against him, so he didn't dare to respond to the Qi army with all his strength, and secretly reserved troops to guard against the Chu army's sneak attack.

As everyone knows, Li Zitong's move to reserve troops also aroused the vigilance of Fu Gongyou and Shen Lun. For a while, the three parties were wary of each other, and the three parties that should have worked together turned out to be in the same bed.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan, who led the main force of the army to station in Anyi County. The first day of June is the deadline for his recruitment. If Li Zitong and others do not accept the recruitment, the Qi army will attack Gaoyou with a thunderous force.

In the big camp of the Qi army, horses from all walks of life came in and out, and kept sending the latest news into the imperial tent.At this time, Gao Bufan was standing in front of the sand table, and a pure white falcon stood on the scaffold next to him, which was Haidong Qingwanli.

At first Gao Bufan gave Wanli to Cui Daoyun, and later Pei Xingyan and Cui Daoyun got married, and Wanli returned to Pei Xingyan's hands. After Pei Xingyan's death, Wanli had no owner, and now Gao Bufan feeds him himself for the time being.

Gao Bufan threw a piece of meat to Wan Li, and said naturally to himself: "Eat enough, you will be useful soon."

As soon as the words were finished, Du Ruhui and Cui Jiuling walked in, saluted and said, "See Your Majesty."

Gao Bufan waved his hand and said, "Excuse me!"

Du Ruhui and Cui Jiuling looked at each other, and they both felt a kind of sternness from Gao Bufan's body. The latter said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the personnel are all ready."

Gao Bufan said calmly: "Then act according to plan!"

Cui Jiuling agreed and left the tent, Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty, if Du Fuwei accepts the recruitment, what should we do?"

"Impossible." Gao Bufan interrupted.

Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "There are no absolutes, if Du Fuwei accepts the offer, I ask the emperor to put the overall situation first..."

Gao Bufan suddenly turned around, with a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, Du Ruhui trembled slightly, lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at each other, but he still insisted: "...Treasure the lives of the soldiers with compassion."

Gao Bufan's fierce eyes gradually softened, he nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Du, if Du Fuwei is really willing to accept the offer, I will spare his life."

Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully said: "The emperor is wise."

Gao Bufan turned around and continued to feed the eagle, without another word, Du Ruhui bowed out respectfully.

After Gao Bufan fed Wanli, he turned around and walked to the weapon rack, and pulled out a sharp and shiny horse spear with his hand, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly became stronger.This horse spear was the weapon that Pei Xingyan gave birth to and used. Although Pei Xingyan's body could not be recovered, the weapon was taken back by a soldier.

Gao Bufan held the horse lance in both hands and danced with a cold light, and finally put it back on the weapon rack, stroked the lance blade and said: "Aren't you like me, missing Brother Xingyan? Don't worry, it won't be long before I will be with you." Together you drink the blood of your enemies."

A stern look flashed in Gao Bufan's eyes. Although he ordered Li Zitong and others to be recruited, he knew that none of these three were willing heroes, and it was impossible for them to accept recruitment unless the situation was extremely dire. Under wonderful circumstances.

That's why Gao Bufan generously accepted Song Zhengben's suggestion, he gave him the opportunity to recruit, but if Li Zitong and the others didn't want it, then they should be damned, no wonder he started killing them! ! !
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and Fu Gongyou's camp was attacked at night. Judging from the clothing and language of the raiders, they looked like Jiangnan people under Shen Lun's command. On the same night, Li Zitong's camp was also attacked, and the attack The clothes and speech of the latter are like those of Fu Gongyou.

Originally, the three parties were in harmony with each other and guarded against each other. In this way, they became even more suspicious. Fu Gongyou even sent troops to attack Shen Lun's barracks in anger to retaliate against each other.

This time it was terrible, Fu Gongyou and Shen Lun started fighting directly, Liu Heitai was overjoyed, but instead of taking the opportunity to attack, he retreated a certain distance to make room for Fu Gongyou and Shen Lun to fight at ease.

At the same time, Gao Bufan also ordered the main force of the Qi army to attack Gaoyou in an overwhelming manner.

Yu Chigong led the navy to deal with Wu Jun's navy in Gaoyou Lake, while Gao Bufan personally led the main force of the army to attack Li Zitong.

On the third day of June in the first year of Tianbao, the Qi army and the Wu army fought in Gaoyou. The total number of troops invested by the two sides reached 20, the Qi army had 11, and the Wu army had [-], of which [-] were reinforcements later.

An earth-shattering decisive battle kicked off immediately!
