Chapter 470 Eighth

The weather in early August is still so hot that people have the urge to jump into the water and not come out, but the morning and evening have begun to cool down, and the shirtless during the day will feel unbearably hot. If you are still shirtless in the middle of the night, you will definitely You will get goosebumps all over your body.

However, compared to July, the march has become much more comfortable.

After a hot day, the coolness brought by the evening wind blowing down makes people feel refreshed.If you have never had the experience of marching under the scorching sun wrapped in leather armor, no one can describe in detail how uncomfortable that feeling is.During the day, the strong sunlight shone on the leather armor, and the temperature under the leather armor was enough to make people feel the pain of being boiled on the skin.After a lot of hydration, there is almost no urine. The sweat can make the clothes seem to be soaked in water, and the water can be wrung out with a twist.

However, for the [-] Yanyun elite soldiers who crossed the river, the pain they suffered had little to do with the heat, but the discomfort caused by the reversal of day and night. , Find a place to rest under the guidance of secret spies, and travel all the way at night.

Li Xian led the army to chase and kill Liu Heitai, which has attracted some attention, and when the news spread that Liu Heitai's Feixiong army was completely wiped out, it was like dropping a huge bomb in the water.No one could believe that the Flying Bear Army, which claimed to rank among the top five in Xia Army's combat strength, was wiped out of the team's number in one day?

The news that a large number of Yan Yunjun sneaked across the river spread like wind. After serious analysis, someone said with certainty that the Yanyun Army sneaked across the river without knowing why. Not inferior to the elite of the Flying Bear Army.Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the Feixiong army in such a short period of time. You must know that they are elite soldiers trained by General Su Dingfang with all their strength, and they are not inferior to the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.

According to the most reasonable speculation, at least 5 elite soldiers from Yanyunzhai sneaked across the Yellow River, then suddenly completed the encirclement without the Feixiong Army's knowledge, and launched a surprise attack when the Feixiong Army had almost no resistance.However, if this is the case, how did the Yan Yun Army with more than [-] people come here?

Such a huge team suddenly appeared in Hebei, could it be borrowed from the underworld?

When the news that Liu Heikai was killed and the Feixiong army was wiped out reached Dou Jiande's army, Dou Jiande was stunned for a moment, then he kicked over the table in a rage, and then kicked the messenger who reported the letter to get out far away.With a livid face, Dou Jiande drew his knife and wanted to cut off the messenger, but was persuaded by General Cao Dan.

"This person must be a spy from Yanyun Village, who will disturb our army's morale!"

There was a trace of fear and helplessness hidden in Dou Jiande's angry eyes. He naturally knew that the messenger could never be a spy of Yanyun Village, but he also knew that if the news spread, the army's morale would be in chaos immediately. Yanyun Village was fighting, and Xu Shiji's troops from Qi County held him back. He was a bit hesitant to continue going south. Once the news of the Feixiong Army's destruction spread, he never encountered the enemy's [-] soldiers. The army may be directly defeated by rumors!

"Get in!"

Cao Dan looked at Dou Jiande's face and scolded the messenger loudly.The courier, who was so frightened that his three souls flew to the sky, subconsciously climbed into the big tent, knelt on the ground and trembled, daring not to speak.Cao Dan stepped forward and kicked the messenger fiercely, cursing loudly: "Where did you hear the news from, and dare to talk nonsense in front of King Xia! Don't you know that just the day before yesterday, Feixiong Army Have already crossed the Yellow River to meet the Yanyun bandit Xu Shiji's men?"

"what?"

The messenger froze for a moment, then understood.He quickly kowtowed to admit his mistake, saying that what he just said was indeed a rumor.It was only because he was worried about the danger in the rear of the army that he rushed to report the news day and night.Cao Dan looked at Dou Jiande's face still looking ugly, he kicked the messenger again and said angrily: "Don't you beg for mercy?!"

The messenger kowtowed and begged for mercy, Dou Jiande's expression softened and he said: "Today I will forgive you the death penalty, if you dare to spread such rumors again, I will kill your nine clans! I think of you today for the sake of Great Xia I will spare you just once, strip you of your official position, and make meritorious deeds!"

"Thank you King Xia for not killing him!"

The messenger hurriedly kowtowed, Dou Jiande's anger subsided a little, he was silent for a while and said: "Tell Gu Zhi carefully about the rumors you heard, if you miss a word, Gu will not forgive you."

The messenger hurriedly told the whole story of the Feixiong Army's destruction, adding the words "humble job and heard" before every sentence he said. After the story was finished, all the clothes on his body were soaked in sweat.A pair of legs trembled involuntarily, as if even a stern look from Dou Jiande could crush him.Because of nervousness and excitement, every word he said seemed to be stumbling, but at least he spoke clearly in detail.

Dou Jiande's expression changed after he finished listening. The previous anger dissipated and was replaced by a very strong worry and fear. He couldn't imagine that Yan Yunjun had really arrived on his territory without anyone noticing. , and then blatantly launched a surprise attack on an elite force of 3 people.There is a saying that if you run thousands of miles, you must stick to the general. Unless the opponent's subordinates command a general who has reached the general level, no one dares to easily lead the army to go deep into the enemy's rear to make a surprise attack.

It's Li Xian!

Dou Jiande made a judgment in his heart after listening.

Li Xian actually led the army to Hebei in person!

No wonder the main force of the Yanyun army could not be found. It turned out that the Xia army was going south, but the Yanyun army had quietly gone north. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Xia army.

"Have you ever heard how many people are there in that unnecessary Yanyun army?"

Cao Dan pondered for a while and asked.

"Humble job investigation... I heard that the Yanyun village has no more than 5000 people, and all cavalry come and go like the wind. When the sun rises, they will attack from the east. The leader is a cavalry in black armor. A general with a very handsome black horse, but no one can tell who it is on the banner."

"It's really him"

Dou Jiande said four words in a low voice, his face became more and more gloomy.

"You step back first"

Dou Jiande waved his hand, speaking in a very soft voice, as if he had been exhausted for a moment, but in fact, he did have a very troubled feeling of powerlessness.Since the day they went south, there have been strange things everywhere. First, the navy of Yanyun Village was not fortified at all. After half a month after the army crossed the Yellow River, no troops from Yanyun Village were found. The flanks were threatened. Dou Jiande worried that this was Yanyun The strategy of luring the enemy in the village did not dare to rush forward, so that after walking for more than half a month, the army was still more than a hundred miles away from Juyeze.Although Su Dingfang's vanguard had reached a place less than [-] miles away from Yuncheng, they stopped on the grounds that a large number of Yanyun soldiers and horses were suspected to be near Yuncheng.

It's a scam!

Dou Jiande, who was in deep thought, suddenly understood, and his hands shook uncontrollably.

Li Xian, the king of Yan, was not going to attack Wagang Village at all. The elite soldiers he personally led must have used a golden cicada to escape their shells. It seemed that they were still facing off against the troops of Wagang Village west of Lei Ze, but in fact they had already sneaked across the Yellow River!

The navy dispatched by Yanyun Village to attack Wagang Village is just an empty shell!

Dou Jiande immediately thought of this again.

The seemingly huge naval forces are actually empty ships. It looks like they want to block the food road on the Wagangzhai waterway, but in fact they are just to transport Li Xian's elite soldiers to Hebei.First, the golden cicada escapes its shell, and then the second trick is to secretly hide Chen Cang, what a Yanyun Village, what a Yan King Li Xian!

Dou Jiande took a deep breath, and now he finally understood that all of this was just a scam set up by Li Xian, just to cover up the illusion that he was going to enter Hebei.He never planned to attack Wagangzhai from the very beginning, what he thought at the beginning was to kill Liu Heita, and give himself a blow!

He glanced at Cao Dan, and found that the other party also had a heavy face.

……

……

Seeing Dou Jiande looking at him, Cao Dan knew that it was King Xia who wanted to ask for his opinion. Originally, the most insightful and most capable general in the army, Wang Fubao, was imprisoned because he suggested that Dou Jiande delay becoming king. Now Dou Jiande is the most trusted person in the army. It was him, but now he was in a mess and had no idea at all.

He is a person who can't do big things, but he can handle small things to the extreme.

Therefore, he did not immediately express his opinion on the matter of Yan Yun's army going north, but bowed to Dou Jiande and said: "I will ask the messenger again. He was obviously frightened by his appearance just now. I am afraid that he will return." I forgot to mention something... I feel that this matter is strange, so I can't believe it easily."

Dou Jiande was troubled in his heart, and he also knew that Cao Dan was not a general, so he waved his hands helplessly and said: "Go, ask carefully, especially about the strength of the Yanyun Army, you must ask clearly. Never There may be only [-] cavalry, Li Xian will never take such a risk."

Now the people in the big tent are all his cronies, and there is no need to emphasize that it is a hearsay rumor.

"I understand"

Cao Dan nodded, turned around and left the big tent.He sent his own soldiers to call the messenger to his big tent. At this time, he was also in a state of confusion. Dou Jiande's eyes that were clearly asking for opinions made him feel a little panicked. He knew that he was not the kind who planned The handsome talent who is thousands of miles away is decisive, but he can do other things, which can be regarded as doing his best to eliminate troubles for King Xia.

Not long after, the messenger arrived tremblingly. When he saw Cao Dan, he immediately made a big gift to thank him for saving his life. He knew that if Cao Dan hadn't helped him just now, Dou Jiande had already beheaded himself and escaped death. Although he was greedy for money and lustful before He hates the incompetent Cao Dan, but this time he is sincerely grateful to him.
