Chapter 461 Determining to defeat the enemy, destroying the culture of the universe and
Chapter 450 IX Determination to Destroy the Enemy, Destroy Yu Culture and

After Li Tang's remnant army withdrew from Weijun and stuck to the Shangdang, Pan Mei, the front general of the Xia army, took the lead in stationing in Weijun, and then Dou Jiande led the main force to go south again.

For a while, the counties and counties that had attached themselves to Li Tang suddenly changed their families and attached themselves to the Xia Army.

Not only that, Xia Wang Dou Jiande's prestige has also gradually increased, and it has been praised all over the world, even among scholars, it has caused a burst of fierce repercussions.

However, Dou Jiande's ambition was not small. After gaining a firm foothold in Weijun, he immediately divided his troops into two groups, leading the army westward with Pan Mei, trying to capture Huguan and open the gateway to Bingzhou.

On the other side, Dou Jiande took Li Jilong as the vanguard and swept all the way to Wei County in Wuyang, planning to completely eradicate Yuwen forces in one fell swoop.

The wind and the sky, the color changes!


Qinghe County, Qingquan. At this time, the Qi army's cavalry is galloping forward under the leadership of Gao Qi. Its target is Wei County. Due to the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, the surprise battle of Wei County and the battle of Tongshan have not yet been fully spread.

At this moment, Gao Qi didn't know that Yu Wenhuaji had already retreated to Liaocheng, and Yuwen Chengdu had two great victories in the battle, but it was still urgently rushing to Wei County.

In this way, on the next day, when the Qi army was about to leave Qinghe and enter the junction of Wuyang, the Qi army scouts finally arrived belatedly and reported the latest battle situation.

"Report to the King of Qi, according to the villain's inquiries, the thief Shouyu Wenhua and his previous defeat by Li Tang's army at Hanling Mountain in Ye County have retreated to Liaocheng."

"As for Wei County, the main defender at this time is Yu Wenhuaji's son Yuwen Chengdu, the mighty General Tianbao. At this time, Yuwen Chengdu has won two great victories."

They were Tongshan Victory and Weixian Raid Victory respectively. Afterwards, the scouts reported the details of these two victories to Gao Qi in detail.

After hearing this, Gao Qi was not shocked or flustered at all, but rather calm, with the momentum of Mount Tai collapsing without changing his face.

In fact, this all comes from Gao Qi's continuous experience over the years, his temperament has long been extraordinary, and Yuwen Chengdu's ability to defeat Li Shentong is all within Gao Qi's expectations.

After all, Li Shentong, who used to be the appeasement ambassador of Shandong Province, was ordered to attack Yu Wenhuaji in Wei County.

However, a dramatic scene appeared. Yu Wenhua, who was cut off from military supplies, asked to be surrendered, but Li Shentong, who was dazzled by the victory, directly refused.

Afterwards, Yuwenshiji arrived in Liaocheng with military rations transported from Jibei, which gradually restored the morale of Yuwenhuaji's troops, which made Li Shentong unable to attack for a long time. Finally, with Dou Jiande's large-scale southward march, the Tang army retreated hastily.

It can be seen from this that Li Shentong's ability is really not flattering, and he can't win against Yu Huaji, who is dying and has no fighting spirit.

Therefore, now that he was defeated by Yuwen Chengdu in one fell swoop, there is no doubt at all. As for the battle of Tongshan, Shan Xiongxin's loss was not unjust, it was completely brought by the rhythm of his teammates.

However, after thinking for a long time, Zhang Xian suddenly came up with a plan, and immediately discussed with Gao Qi: "King Qi, after hearing the scouts describe the current battle situation."

"Xian suddenly thought of a strategy. If it is done properly, it will not be difficult to capture Yu Wenhuaji in one fell swoop!"

Hearing this, Gao Qi seemed to know it already, and pretended to ask knowingly, and said, "General Zhang Xian, what plan do you think of to defeat the enemy?"

After getting Gao Qi's approval, Zhang Xian immediately stood tall and said bluntly: "King Qi, generals, Xian's idea is that our army suddenly adjusts its target at this time, raids Yuwenhuaji in Liaocheng, and takes it down in one fell swoop."

"As long as Yu Wenhuaji is captured, Yuwen Chengdu in Wei County will be destroyed without a fight, and we are at the junction of the two counties at this time. Be thoughtful."

"It should be noted that if God does not take it, it is hard to escape the blame!"

For a while, Zhang Xian talked about the idea of ​​​​raiding Yu Wenhuaji, and then asked Gao Qi for words of approval. It can be seen that Zhang Xian is extremely utilitarian at this time.

Originally, when going north this time, Zhang Xian was thinking of doing meritorious service, but in the final division of troops, as Su Lie's deputy general, he rushed to help Youzhou, although Zhang Xian's contribution was not weak.

It's a pity that Su Lie's ability is too strong, almost overshadowing the brilliance of the generals, so at this moment, Zhang Xian has such a strong desire for utilitarianism.

After all, the capture and killing of Yu Wencheng could not be more credited than the capture and killing of Yu Wenhuaji. In other words, with Yuwen Chengdu's bravery, who would be able to capture it?

Therefore, considering the advantages and disadvantages, Zhang Xian still stood firmly on the tactical strategy of raiding Liaocheng. Seeing that his eyes were almost frenzied, Gao Qi couldn't help asking: "Zhang Xian, if Ruogu agrees to attack Yuhuaji, then do you have a surprise attack?" A good plan?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xian was overjoyed from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't help saying loudly: "Of course, King Qi, Liaocheng is just a small remote city, and the city must be very simple."

"Yu Wenhuaji's military rations must be lacking here, so at the end of the day, he will boldly guess that Yu Wenhuaji's military rations must be provided by his younger brother Yuwen Shihe from Jibei County."

"Since this is the case, then our army's opportunity has come. We only need to send iron cavalry around Liaocheng, loot and burn its food and grass on the way. In a few days, Liaocheng will be at our fingertips!"

"Okay, what Zhang Xian said is very much in line with Gu's thoughts. If that's the case, then you will lead [-] cavalry to plunder the rebel army's rations. As for the generals in the army, you can choose."

In fact, after Gao Qi got the current military situation, he had already adjusted his target and turned to kill Yu Wenhuaji. Because of what he said just now, it was just a test to teach Zhang Xian to establish his military power in the army. Be alone!

As the saying goes: Qianjun is easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Only by continuously cultivating the talents of generals can a country be invincible forever, and its national prestige and military might can deter foreign enemies.

Just like the Tang Dynasty, although the prestige reached its peak in the early stage, and foreign enemies were frightened by the name, why did it gradually decline later, and even some Western barbarians could stand up to the Tang Dynasty?
Among them, Datang lacked the talents of generals who could support troops and guard one side, and its troops guarding the border could not deter foreign enemies. As time passed, foreign enemies would naturally not take Li Tang seriously.

Therefore, at this moment, Gao Qi pays great attention to the art of manipulating people and knows how to cultivate talents. One of them is not to restrict the thinking of generals and schools, but to let them develop independent thinking strategies.

At this time, Zhang Xian suddenly stood there, silent for a long time, and even forgot Xie En's words. Zhang Xian really did not expect that Gao Qi would trust him so much and entrust him with such an important plan of raid.

The key point is that the generals in the army are allowed to choose, which is out-and-out love. For a while, Zhang Xian felt flattered.

Immediately, Zhang Xian solemnly handed over his hands and promised: "The final general thanked King Qi for his attention, and Xian can't repay him. This time, he will successfully complete the mission and make the rebel army collapse in one fell swoop, and Yu Wenhua will be bound."

Afterwards, Zhang Xian selected He Yuanqing, Zhang Liao and Zishou to accompany the army, and then led [-] warriors to detour, followed by Gao Qi, who personally organized the army, turned the horse's head, and galloped towards Liaocheng!

During the journey, what he saw and heard along the way made Gao Qi furious and outrageous, because some scattered villages, neighbors and towns he saw were living in dire straits.

Not only is there a shortage of food, but also lack of agricultural tools for farming, and all you see along the way are old, weak, women and children, and young and strong are extremely rare.

After Gao Qi inquired about it, he found out the cause and effect. It turned out that after Yu Wenhua and he established himself as the emperor and established his capital in Wei County, for his own enjoyment, he forcibly recruited young and strong people from all over the country to build a palace in Wei County.

After the palace was built, many young and strong men thought they would be relieved, but Yu Huaji's edict cut off everyone's livelihood, that is, the young and strong men who built the palace this time must join the army unconditionally.

Under such circumstances, countless young and strong men became soldiers, and then Yu Wenhua became even more frenzied and forcibly selected beauties from the people to enter the palace. Since then, the people in Wuyang County have been under the power of Yu Wenhua and their lust, day and night. Ye was so frightened that he almost dared not speak out.

Not only that, but Yu Wenhuaji also decreed to confiscate all the agricultural tools in the territory, and then wantonly transform them into weapons for combat. This move directly cut off the survival of many people.

Therefore, during the period of Yu Wenhuaji's rule, people almost died of illness, starved to death, and fleeing famine, all of which were caused by Yu Wenhuaji's tyranny.

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help being furious all of a sudden, and secretly vowed in his heart that this time he must break through Liaocheng in one fell swoop, capture Yu Wenhuaji alive, and rescue the people who are living in dire straits.



Liaocheng was originally an important city gate in Jibei County, but the battle situation was extremely tense at this time, and the door was closed, and the looming defenders in the city were walking around, wandering and patrolling.

In the government office, above the main seat, Yu Wenhua in a golden dragon robe was crossing his legs and said loudly at this time: "Dog/day, why didn't you say it earlier, why are you talking about such an important matter of cutting off the military rations now?" ?”

"Quickly tell me, are you a spy of the Tang army, who sneaked in and murdered me, left and right, quickly push down and behead!"

Hearing this, the quartermaster was so frightened that his legs trembled, he staggered to his knees, and explained in a crying tone: "Your Majesty, listen to me to explain."

It's just that, before the quartermaster who was stuttered by fright could speak, he was dragged down by the Imperial Forest Army who came in from left and right, and he was executed on the spot!

In an instant, the rest of the civil and military people in the tent, seeing such a scene, dared to speak out. Everyone felt insecure and dared not speak out, for fear of attracting Yu Wenhuaji's attention.

If you are not careful, you will unfortunately die!

Ever since Yu Wenhuaji was defeated by the Tang army and retreated to Liaocheng, his sinister, cruel and suspicious character has been infinitely expanded. As long as the generals are a little careless, Yu Wenhuaji will beat and scold the light ones, and the serious ones will die.

Before the quartermaster, there were already several generals whose answers were not in line with his wishes, and in the end, under Yu Wenhuaji's order, they died in vain and died one after another.

However, although the quartermaster died, the situation of the shortage of military rations has not been resolved. This still needs to be resolved. I just asked the generals, but the generals were not strict and said that there was no solution.

In fact, it was because everyone was so scared that they didn't dare to speak easily, and they were deeply afraid that if they didn't agree with each other, they would lose their lives in vain!

Seeing that no one answered, Yu Wenhua couldn't help being even more angry in his heart, roaring: "They're all a bunch of trash, trash!"

"On weekdays, I support you, but when you are fighting for power and profit, you are full of conspiracies and tricks, and you are extremely active. At this time, when I am living and dying, you have become waste."

However, Yu Wenhuaji was allowed to yell at him, and everyone accepted it silently, not daring to talk back.

After scolding, Yu Wenhuaji seemed to have had enough scolding, and stopped cursing, but suddenly thought of Jibei County, and then he felt happy.

"Pass down the order, and hurry up to inform Yuwen Shiji of Jibei County, and ask him to deliver a batch of military rations. There must be no mistakes!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wenhua found a solution in a short time, and for a while regained his calm and calm face, and most of his anger disappeared.

However, before Yu Wenhua could catch his breath, two days passed slowly, King Gaoqi of Qi led [-] cavalrymen under Liaocheng, and then ordered the generals to set up their own camps and surround the city to prevent the people in the city from escaping. .

All of a sudden, after hearing the news, Yu Wenhuaji couldn't help but feel even more grief and indignation, and there was even a little fear in his words.

After all, the reason why Yu Wenhuaji finally fled here was inseparably related to Gao Qi's galloping thousands of miles to attack the river at that time. Coupled with the rising military prestige, Yu Wenhuaji felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart towards Gao Qi.

However, when he went up to the top of the city to watch, Yu Wenhuaji had no choice but to go back to the mansion, put the woman who was forcibly robbed on the couch, and do things that are worse than beasts, so as to vent his anger.



Wushui, Sikou Pass
At this time, the Qi army war cavalry was secretly lurking this time, and the leader of the army was Zhang Xian, whose task was to intercept and burn the rations transported by the rebels to Liaocheng.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhang Xian finally chose the Sikou Pass of Wushui as the location for looting grain. The reason why he chose this place was because it was the most suitable place for looting.

Wushui is a tributary of the Yellow River, which flows into the northern territory of Jibei. Due to its unique geographical situation, when crossing the river in Jibei County, it can only accommodate hundreds of people at a time.

Therefore, the purpose of Zhang Xian's ambush at Sikou Pass is already obvious, that is, to take advantage of the unique terrain here, as long as the army rations are delivered, and when the rebel army is not stable, they will suddenly attack and destroy their rations.

After waiting for a few days, but they hadn't found out about the troubles of the rebel transport team, at this time, the tall and tall Zi Shou couldn't help but said: "Could the rebel army take a detour, otherwise why didn't the rebel transport team come back for so long? arrival?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xian smiled, touched his green beard lightly, and said, "General Zishou, don't worry, I'm going to set up sentry cavalry for several miles around here."

"Even if the rebels don't land from here, the sentinels will send the news as soon as possible."

Since Zhang Xian, as the chief general, was very confident, Zi Shou didn't say much, so he continued to wait with peace of mind.

"Hoo, hoo!"

Suddenly, the sound of whistling came out, and Zhang Xian's vigilance immediately became aware, and then he ordered the whole army to get ready. This was the situation when the rebel transport team came.

This kind of sound was Zhang Xian's secret signal to the sentry cavalry. As soon as he heard the news, he would immediately blow the slogan, so Zhang Xian knew that the transport team had arrived.

All of a sudden, the battle of robbing food was about to start!
