The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 329 The Brave General Appears

Just as Wei Zheng finished dealing with Li Mi and Wang Bodang's funeral, the urgent battle report arrived. King Dou Jiande of Xia Ming took the opportunity to send troops to capture Li Yang, while Qu Tutong retreated to Muye for help.

As soon as Wei Zheng heard what he was afraid of, he and Wu Tianxi rushed to Muye with [-] soldiers and horses. When they reached the north of Mengzhou, the bad news came. Mang.

As soon as the two heard that they were out of their wits, Dou Jiande's movements were fast enough, and he quickly diverted to Xingyang.When Wei Zheng's men reached Hulao Pass, Dou Jiande's men reached the north bank of the Yellow River, and the two sides set up a battlefield on the bank of the Yellow River.

At this time, Qu Tutong dragged his unhealed body and knelt in front of Wei Zheng to plead guilty.Qu Tutong was not to blame for this matter, the root cause was Li Mi's conspiracy to rebel, Li Yang's discord and internal strife, which allowed Dou Jiande's men to take advantage of the loophole.

So Wei Zheng comforted him and said: "There is a reason for the incident, what is the general's fault? This military division came a step late, and the general was wronged." Wei Zheng helped him up, asked him to sit down and asked about the battle in front of him, and Qu Tutong explained the process in detail. Reported again.

It turned out that the guard of Weijun was none other than the brave general Liu Heita.Liu Heikai and Dou Jiande are from the same hometown, and they have a close friendship. He is the number one under Dou Jiande, and was later named Duke of Handong by King Xia Ming.

According to the original historical development, after Dou Jiande was defeated and killed, Liu Heita established himself as King of Handong, raised the banner of revenge for King Xiaming, and fought endlessly with the Li family and his sons. Water, captured and killed Luo Shixin, all-powerful, made the Tang army frightened.

But now Liu Heikai is still a little-known general under Dou Jiande. He is said to be a general, and everyone exalts him, because Dou Jiande has strong generals such as Lin, such as Liu Ya, Fan Yuan, Cao Zhan, Gao Yaxian, Dong Kang Mai, Wang Xiaohu, Sun Linpu, etc.

And Liu Heikai had just defected to Dou Jiande a few days ago, so far he has not made an inch of merit.Because the two are from the same hometown, their friendship is irreversible, and more importantly, Dou Jiande knew that he was a powerful general, so he was overjoyed and immediately named him a general under his command.To put it bluntly, as a general, he got it through the back door through the back door, and compared with other generals, who earned his money by tucking his head in his trouser belt, the gold content must be different. How can the generals be convinced?

It turned out that Liu Heikai was originally a subordinate of Hao Xiaode of the Shandong Rebel Army. Although he was brave and resourceful, he was cunning, addicted to alcohol and gambling, and had a violent and arrogant personality. Therefore, he was not reused by Xi Xiaode's subordinates. It's not a leader, just an inconspicuous centurion.

Later, She Xiaode and Wang Bo formed a coalition to fight against the Sui army, but they were soon defeated by Zhang Xutuo. She Xiaode died in battle and his troops were dispersed.Liu Heikai took the remaining 80 or [-] people to follow Wang Bo and traveled around Changbai Mountain in Shandong, and still insisted on fighting against the Sui army.

However, Wang Bo was still not valued under Wang Bo's command. Liu Heita led his troops to fight a few beautiful victories and made many military exploits.Liu Heikai was dissatisfied, and in a rage, the leader of a thousand people quit. He dragged his original 80 or [-] people away from Wang Bo, intending to join Li Mi in Wagangshan, Henan.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in the Liaocheng area, Liu Heitai got the news of Li Mi's defeat. The Wagangzhai Banner collapsed, and all his troops, including Li Mi, surrendered to Yang Yong.

Disappointed, Liu Heitai planned to take these 80 or 300 people to work alone, occupy a hill in the west of Liaocheng, and become the king of the mountain.At this time, Yuwen and his son entered Shandong, burning, killing and looting everywhere they passed, committing all kinds of crimes, the people fled one after another, and there was an endless stream of people who went up the mountain to join the gang.Liu Heita's minions quickly expanded to 300 people.Liu Heitai was very happy, and led these [-] people to practice soldiers and horses every day. If there were passing merchants, dignitaries, etc. at the foot of the mountain, they would naturally not let them go, especially when the army passed by, Liu Heitai must be robbed.

When the Pioneer Camp of Yuwen and his son passed by Liu Heitai's territory, the two sides turned against each other.

Liu Heitai defeated Yu Wenhuaji's troops in a row, and the vanguard battalion of five thousand horses was blocked here.Later, because he was outnumbered, he was trapped on a small hill. However, in the face of an enemy dozens of times larger than his own, Liu Heikai was not afraid of danger. Lost troops and lost generals.

At this time, the tens of thousands of troops of Yuwen and his son arrived, surrounded and captured the small hill with a crushing advantage. Almost all of Liu Heita's [-] troops were killed in battle. In the end, he was captured because he was outnumbered.Seeing his bravery, Yu Wenhua not only didn't kill him, but made him the head of ten thousand people.

Liu Heitai was quite satisfied with this ten thousand head, but because he looked down on Yuwen and his son, he learned that Dou Jiande, a friend from his hometown, ruled Hebei and proclaimed himself the queen of Xia Ming, so Liu Heitai made up his mind.A few days later, Liu Heita left Yuwen and his son and fled to Dou Jiande's camp in Hebei. Dou Jiande was overjoyed and knew his bravery, so he immediately named him a general.

Liu Heita knelt down to thank you, but from the eyes of the rest of the generals, Liu Heita read contempt and disdain.

In order to prove that he is no worse than other generals, Liu Heikai volunteered to garrison the small town of Wei County in the south of Jizhou with only [-] troops.For King Xia Ming, Wei County was a small frontier town, and it was also an important military town.

Liu Heita urgently needs a war to demonstrate his value and significance, so he has repeatedly requested orders to use troops against Yang Yong, to attack Liyang, and to seek the Central Plains.But Dou Jiande was hesitant, and his plan to use troops repeatedly ran aground.The reason is that although Dou Jiande has long wanted to compete in the Central Plains, he has just established himself as the King of Xia Ming, and the surrounding separatist forces, except Yu Wenhuaji, have clearly expressed their support for him.

Luo Yi, the King of Youyan in the north, is watching covetously. At the border between Hebei and Youyan, the two armies are constantly at odds.To the west is Li Yuan who stayed behind in Taiyuan, took the emperor to order the princes, and issued an order to him, requesting that he cancel the banner of "Xiaming King", submit to the court, accept the recruitment, and work with him to destroy all rebels and revive the Sui Dynasty.

Of course Dou Jiande knew that Li Yuan was using a tiger's skin as a banner to expand his influence by using a subjugated little emperor.But Dou Jiande knew better what Li Yuan meant, if he didn't agree, Li Yuan could order the princes of the world to crusade against him in the name of Sui Gongdi Yang You, which was justified.Moreover, Li Yuan at that time defeated the powerful Liu Wuzhou and drove him outside Yanmen Pass.Li Yuan is ambitious and has the potential to move his troops eastward.

On the other hand, Dou Jiande is most taboo than Yang Yong in the south.Although he knows that even though he will have a battle with Yang Yong sooner or later, the current Yang Yong is undoubtedly the strongest among the separatist forces of the surrounding princes, because he not only has a large territory, but also occupied Shaanxi and Henan. Within a year, Wang Shichong, the king of Luoyang, and Li Mi from Wagangzhai were all beaten to the ground. This was a display of strength, and the world was shocked.Therefore, at that time, Dou Jiande thought about it, weighed the pros and cons, and didn't want to fight Yang Yong.

But soon the situation changed. Yang Yong sent more than 40 troops to attack Yuwen and his son in Shandong. As Dou Jiande's strategic partner and natural barrier, Yuwen and his son were defeated again and again, and Yuwen Chengdu was also killed.This shows that Yu Wenhua is not Yang Yong's opponent at all, and his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. Under the condition that Yu Wenhua ceded the two counties of Dezhou and Binzhou and more than a dozen counties and counties to him, Dou Jiande and his advisers Fan Yuan, Liu Ya, and Gao Ya Xian and others discussed the matter of attacking Yang Yong.

At this time, good news came one after another. Li Xiuning sent a surprise army to capture Tongguan and fought against Yang Yong; Li Yuan fought with Li Gui and Xue's father and son in the west again; .

Dou Jiande was overjoyed, Yang Yong used troops on both sides, and the Central Plains was empty, it's time for this king to do something big!So it was decided to divide the troops into two groups and use troops against Yang Yong!
