Chapter 480 Trap

At the beginning of August, when the news that Wuyang County was breached reached Dou Jiande's ears, he couldn't sit still any longer, but it was obviously embarrassing to retreat like this. He had been hesitant to send troops for nearly a month. Attacking Juyeze, but the news brought back by the spies sent to investigate made Dou Jiande of no nature. Juyeze itself is the best place in the world that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It cannot be defeated with a large number of troops. Even in the most prosperous period of the Sui Dynasty, with the strength of the government soldiers, 10 people may not be able to attack. In addition, today's Juyeze has already been built into a grand pass by Li Xian, and it is even more difficult to break through. ascend to heaven.

Now Dou Jiande finally understands Li Xian's intentions, and also understands why Yanyun Village has a powerful navy but doesn't stop Xia Jun from going south at all.

Xia Junxiong's 10 soldiers marched south, Li Xian didn't intend to pay attention at all. With [-] people entering Dongping County, it was as if they had entered a desert and could not get anything. With the danger of Juyeze, it was impossible for Xia Jun to break through.So what if he goes all the way south and occupies some villages and towns?If Ju Yeze is not lost, Dou Jiande will be in vain after all.But Li Xian was very successful in Hebei. He didn't aim at robbing land, he only robbed the government treasury money and food, did not move the people's property, only took things from Dou Jiande's government, and left after the fight, never staying.

Dou Jiande has nothing to fight in Dongping County, even if he takes down Yuncheng, it doesn't make any sense. In addition to the defenders in Yuncheng, the people and money and food have been transferred into the city. Occupying an ancient city is a chicken rib for Dou Jiande .He wanted to attack the more affluent Qi County, but Xu Shiji had already expected that he would send troops in advance to wipe out Wang Bo's Jibei Army and block Dou Jiande's way to advance.

After crossing the Yellow River, Dou Jiande suddenly discovered that in Dongping County, except Juyeze, you can bite everywhere, but what you bite into your mouth is wood residue, and you have to spit it out sooner or later.To change the way of thinking, it can also be said that there is no need to take a bite everywhere in Dongping County. It takes a lot of effort, but nothing can be gained.

The situation he is facing now is that Li Xian seems to have given up the entire Dongping County, but one-third of Dongping County is occupied by Juyeze, and Dou Jiande, a county west of Juyeze, cannot be defeated at all. In the counties east of Juyeze, Li Xian had no intention of defending to the death, and the loss to Dou Jiande was not too great, because it was impossible for Dou Jiande to stand firm.

For several days in a row, Dou Jiande was worried. If he did not retreat, the two options he could choose now were not easy to go. Either he would attack Qi County and fight to the death with Xu Shiji's tens of thousands of elites. Block the back road and enter a situation where there is no way to advance or retreat.Either attack Ju Yeze directly. This choice is basically the same as the ending of the first choice. The only difference is that his rear path is blocked by Xu Shiji instead.

Only now did Dou Jiande truly realize how hasty his decision to enter Dongping County was. He fell into the opponent's trap from the first step, being passive and restrained everywhere.

A big pie was placed in front of him, and the aroma was tangy.When I rushed over to take a bite, I realized that what was wrapped in the pie was neither meat nor vegetables, but a huge animal trap, which knocked out Dou Jiande's teeth, but he could only swallow it in his stomach and said no. out.

"My lord..."

Looking at Dou Jiande, who was frowning, the commander of the army, Shi Kong Deshao, wanted to persuade him a few words, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to comfort others except a bitter mouth.

"Dongping County, tasteless, it's a pity to throw away the tasteless food. If Li Bandit hadn't been rampant in Hebei, defeating Dongping County would be considered a harvest, but now Li Bandit has conquered four cities in Hebei. If he doesn't withdraw his troops..."

Kong Deshao pondered for a while, but still analyzed the enemy's situation truthfully and said: "Once Wuyang County is lost, Bandit Li's troops only need to cross the Majia River to approach Guixiang. If Guixiang is lost, Bandit Li can go straight to attack the state. "

"I don't know!"

Dou Jiande sighed and said: "However, with Song Zhengben sitting in the state, even if Li thief wanted to attack the state, he might not be able to get it cheap. The only thing I am worried about is that the army of the Southern Expedition is not stable. If Li thief's water If the division blocks the river again, this time it will really return in vain."

Kong Deshao was Dou Jiande's confidant, and he was the one who tried his best to persuade Dou Jiande to become king.Among all the officials, he was the most active in claiming Dou Jiande as king.In Dou Jiande's mind, Kong Deshao's status is at the same level as his most important minister, Nayan Song Zhengben.At some point, his trust in Kong Deshao was even stronger than that in Song Zhengben.Song Zhengben was a seemingly noble person, if he thought it was right, even if Dou Jiande opposed him, he would not save face.Moreover, Song Zhengben, who believed that it was his plan to seize Hebei at the beginning, and who thought he had the most credit, also looked down on Kong Deshao, who in his eyes was only flattering.

The biggest difference between Kong Deshao and Song Zhengben is that he is a person who knows what is inferior.Song Zhengben dared to reprimand Dou Jiande face to face, relying on some of his old achievements, Dou Jiande could tolerate his arrogance at first, but the more he later became disgusted with him.And Kong Deshao would never do anything that would embarrass Dou Jiande, because he knew that a courtier must maintain awe of the lord.

If she is abandoned by the lord like a piece of trash, then who cares if she has merit?

He is really good at flattering people. If there is a difference of opinion on government affairs, people like Song Zhengben will definitely stick to his own point of view, while Kong Deshao's point of view is that what King Xia thinks is what he thinks .

But Kong Deshao is also a man of real ability. Now Xia Jun is in a dilemma. He knows that if he wants to surpass Song Zhengben in the future and become the first minister of Daxia, it depends on whether he can think of a way to break the situation this time.But he couldn't think of it after much deliberation. The situation was like this, and he knew that there was no way to break it.So he turned to think about how to make the army retreat unscathed, and try to minimize the loss of this hasty march south.

"It's better to retreat early! If you retreat as soon as possible, the army can still block Li Thief's troops in Hebei. If it drags on for a long time, I am worried...My lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly. However, he is not good at military affairs, and I am afraid that Song Zhengben will suffer a lot if he is against a man who has experienced battles like Li Bandit!"

Kong Deshao gritted his teeth and said softly.

Cao Dan, who was on the side, sneered a few times when he heard these words.He said in his heart that it is well known that Song Zhengben doesn't get along with you, and at this point, you still don't forget to take the opportunity to wear small shoes for Song Zhengben.This group of literati who don't understand farts and can only intrigue is disgusting to watch.

It's just that he will never show anything. Although he has a rough personality, he has followed Dou Jiande in the past few years, and the more he sees, the more he understands.

Dou Jiande glanced at Kong Deshao, shook his head slowly and said: "If you retreat like this, I'm afraid it will have too much impact on the morale of the army. And the people in Yanyunzhai may have been staring at Gu for a long time. If they retreat hastily, they will be killed by Yanyun The army attacked back and forth, and the loss would be unacceptable! Why didn't Gu know that it would be better to leave early than to delay? But he had to plan for these 20 elite soldiers. Song Zhengben really didn't understand military affairs, but the soldiers and horses of Zhou, Wuyang County, and Wei County Adding up to no less than [-], Li Xian may not dare to go deeper."

"My lord, it is inevitable to retreat. If you want to retreat back to Hebei with the army intact, it depends on when you retreat."

"Oh?"

Dou Jiande sat up straight and asked, "Cunmou already has a good plan?"

Kong Deshao pursed his dry lips, and said a few words close to Dou Jiande's ear. Cao Dan listened attentively but couldn't hear anything clearly, only vaguely heard Su Dingfang's name.Before Kong Deshao finished speaking, Dou Jiande's expression changed.After a long silence, Dou Jiande's face kept changing.Kong Deshao bowed his head, Cao Dan was suspicious, Dou Jiande finally sighed and nodded, and said to Kong Deshao: "Draft an edict, and then hand it over to Gu Yongyin."

Hearing what Dou Jiande said, Cao Dan was shocked for no reason.An uncontrollable sense of sadness and fear came out, and soon spread to every pore of his body.

……

……

Less than twenty miles away from Yuncheng is the headquarters of Su Dingfang, the vanguard battalion of the Xia Army. Since he arrived in Yuncheng ten days ago, he has been standing still. Dou Jiande sent people to urge him several times. , Suspected that there was an ambush as an excuse to shirk.

If he doesn't enter the army, it's not because he's really unsure of taking down Yuncheng.He shirked, not because he was worried about the trap set by Li Xian in Yuncheng.

He didn't enter the army because he still couldn't fully control the 5000 troops. His flying bear army was taken away by Dou Jiande with the excuse of going south. The new team could hardly be compared with his flying bear army.Even if the combat power is the same, but if an unfamiliar team is handed over to him, how can it compare with the Feixiong army who commands like arms and fingers?

He didn't want to enter the army. The reason why the command of the new subordinates failed to meet his expectations was one reason, but it was just an appearance. In fact, the biggest reason was that he was unwilling.

In the past six months, King Xia has changed.

This change made him uneasy and frightened.

Kong Deshao and other civil officials tried their best to make Dou Jiande king, and the selfishness in it is self-evident.The champion general Wang Fubao who sincerely considers King Xia, although he has a rough and direct temper, is really insightful. When he persuaded King Xia, he said that Jiangdu is now controlled by Yuwenhuaji, and Yuwenjia will turn against him sooner or later. Yuwenhuaji will definitely not tolerate it. Great cause emperor Yang Guang, if Yang Guang dies, even if he is a king of subjugation, the whole world will not be able to catch up with Yu Wenhua!

At that time, Dou Jiande played the banner of avenging Yang Guang again, saying that the king raised his troops to go south, and his division was famous. Naturally, the support of the big family was indispensable.

It can be said that Wang Fubao, who has never read a book, can have such insights.
