Chapter 261: The death of the country will bring out demons

Wang Xiaohu has a very good personal relationship with Dou Jiande, and because he knows the temper of his old sister-in-law Cao, the more he is at this time, the more he will not leave. When it was decided to fight to the death, Wang Xiaohu called his own soldiers, and he dictated a letter in his own handwriting: "Son, I am your father, when I saw this letter, I immediately rushed into the palace with my family soldiers, protected the queen and princess, and escorted them to meet your Uncle Liu."

Uncle Liu is Liu Heimin.

Liu Heimin and Dou Jiande had a fateful relationship. Wang Xiaohu gathered the soldiers of the subordinate and ordered: "Prepare the sacrifice flag"

The horn of the long ox blew and whimpered, sad and heroic, the shirtless sergeant carried the livestock of the sacrifice flag to the incense case, Wang Xiaohu took the stage to sacrifice the flag, and assigned the seal letter to defend the guard.

Dong Kangmai was full of pessimism about the decisive battle of this trip, especially Wang Xiaohu's 100,000 army, which only reached more than 8,000 people, and if he continued to collect troops in the future, even if he could collect 50,000 or 60,000 horses, it would not be without the power to fight again at that time, but now, Song Zhengben almost made an urgent report a day, driving Wang Xiaohu crazy.

Today, he has to scold the eighteen generations of Song Zhengben's ancestors every day, the civil and military officials of the Xia State are not as cumbersome as the Tang Dynasty, even if they are forcibly tied, they can tie up Empress Cao and leave Zhaozhou, and now Chen Ying's army is still three or four hundred miles away from Zhaozhou, and there is time to retreat from the city, so he asks for help like a soul.

In fact, the battle has not yet been fought. Wang Xiaohu thought that he would definitely lose.

Even if he barely finished explaining the aftermath, Wang Xiaohu led more than 8,000 troops who were sleepy and lacking horses to pursue Chen Ying along the embankment of Yongji Canal.

However, Chen Ying's arrangement was precisely the formation of the two wings flying together in the attack, with tens of thousands of hook and sickle lancers under Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui guarding Chen Ying's Chinese army.

After seven or eight temptations, back and forth, Wang Xiaohu's command did not touch the edge of Chen Ying's army. More than 8,000 troops, one-third of which was reimbursed, at this time, Wang Xiaohu's hair was unkempt, his eyes were as red as rabbits, and he was embarrassed to the extreme. ”

In fact, at this time, Wang Xiaohu's subordinates did not seem to be attacking at all, but committed suicide like moths throwing themselves into the fire.

In the face of the dense hook and sickle cavalry, Wang Xiaohu's department with poor equipment had no possibility of winning at all.

Dong Kangmai, who originally had Wang Xiaohu's support, really couldn't stand it.

"Lao Wang, wake up, you don't have this way of fighting in a war!" Dong Kangmai looked at Wang Xiaohu, who looked like a bloody man, and roared: "Look at how many soldiers you have now, their death is meaningless!" ”

"So what do you say?" Wang Xiaohu had red eyes, glared at Dong Kangmai and shouted, "What do you say? ”

"The cavalry under Chen Ying's command can't charge in the city, so let's bypass Chen Ying's army, enter Zhaozhou first, and fight with Chen Ying in the streets!" Dong Kangmai said angrily: "I don't believe it, he Chen Ying can still give wings to the cavalry?" ”

Dong Kang's words can be regarded as making Wang Xiaohu sober up. He also feels that he also has a very good road, brave and tragic will not help, the winner will never pity the loser, hold on to the state, there is still hope for the Xia country.

Chen Ying followed the retreat of the Xia army and Wang Xiaohu, and Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui asked for instructions on whether to pursue?

Chen Ying said unexpectedly: "Collect the troops!" ”

This made the generals very strange, but in view of Chen Yingjun's prestige, no one questioned even this unusual order. However, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, asked strangely: "General Chen, this is the best opportunity to annihilate the Xia army in one fell swoop, why do you want to give up this opportunity?" ”

"When fishing, there must be bait, if you lose the bait, you can't catch fish with an empty hook!" Chen Ying smiled slightly: "Now Zhaozhou is a fish hook, and Wang Xiaohu and Dong Kang are fishing bait, just put the bait on the hook to catch a big fish!" ”

In fact, Chen Ying's intention was very simple, that is, to adopt a very famous tactic in later generations - encirclement and reinforcement.

This is actually the best point, Zhaozhou is the capital of the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia army can't help it, but once the Xia army comes to relieve the siege of Zhaozhou, it is falling into Chen Ying's trap.

In terms of field warfare, whether it is the Modao Army under Chen Ying's department, or the Xiao Cavalry, they all belong to the army at the peak of the Cold Weapon Era, and they are invincible in the field.

What's more, as early as the beginning of Chen Ying's northward journey, the Beiwei army had already left one step forward and infiltrated into Zhaozhou in batches.

Just when Chen Ying's army was still more than 300 miles away from Zhaozhou, the entire city of Zhaozhou was already undercurrent. Of course, the undercurrent is not only in Zhaozhou, but in the whole of Hebei.

Chen Yingbing is ordinary on the surface, but there are not a few actions in secret. The meticulous work of the Tiger began to publicize the news of the defeat of Dong Kangmai and Wang Xiaohu in Hebei. In fact, when Wang Xiaohu's troops did not come into contact with Chen Ying's army, the army fell behind as many as eight or nine times out of ten.

can be in the propaganda of the detailed work, but it became Wang Xiaohu's 100,000 troops, more than 50,000 people were beheaded, more than 30,000 people were captured, and only 5 or 6,000 people under Wang Xiaohu escaped.

Then he also preached that Liu Ya of Liyang raised the city to surrender, and Dong Kangmai, the governor of Xiangzhou, abandoned the city and fled.

These news, true or false.

In fact, Liu Ya did not surrender the city, but saw that the general trend of the Xia Kingdom had gone, Liu Ya was tied up by his personal guards and sent to Li Shiji's account, and Li Shiji's soldiers recaptured Liyang without blood.

And Xiangzhou was when Dong Kangmai led his troops north to Qinwang, and Xu Zhong, under Dong Kangmai, surrendered to Zhang Huaiwei.

……

Yingzhou is the old capital of Dou Jiande, it is said that this should be the place where Dou Jiande's people's heart foundation is the strongest, but although Dou Jiande is very popular with the people, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, the world is like a big cake, Dou Jiande let the people eat more, and the family gate valve eats less.

Lu Shirui, the governor of Yingzhou, was born in the Fanyang Lu family, one of the seven sects and five hopes.

When he learned that Chen Ying's army was about to march to the city of Zhaozhou, he couldn't wait to send his henchmen to send a secret letter to Chen Ying. In the secret letter, Lu Shirui claimed that he was in Cao Ying, and as soon as Chen Ying's army arrived in Yingzhou, he would change the city.

When Chen Ying saw this letter, he didn't have time to rejoice, and he received a letter of surrender from Zhao Yuankai, the governor of Maozhou (now Guantao, a city on the bank of the Yellow River), who also sent a letter of surrender to Chen Yingying.

This Zhao Yuankai is also from a famous family, after Zhao Gui, one of the generals of the Eight Great Pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty, but he is still Chen Ying's cousin in terms of seniority. Zhao Gui's niece, the sister of Zhao Du, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Che Cavalry and the three divisions of Yitong, married Hou Mo Chen Chong as his wife, counting. This Zhao Du is Zhao Yuankai's grandfather.

Chen Ying was very speechless that not only Zhao Yuankai and Lu Shirui, but also Guanzhou (roughly in today's Dongguang County, Cangzhou) Assassin Ray was preparing to change his banner. Seeing this scene, Chen Ying couldn't help but think that in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the state capitals surrendered one after another, and they simply made decent resistance, and the same was true in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, when Japan invaded China, most of the landlords and gentry surrendered and betrayed the country as traitors. Chen Ying sighed: "The country is about to die, and there will be demons!" ”

Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, said: "At this time, it is better to attack than to capture, and at this time, it is better to use it slowly than to use it urgently."

Chen Ying asked Li Shendao again: "What do you mean?" ”

"It is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is also the nature of meat eaters!" Li Shentong had already thought about how to deal with it in his heart, but at this time, he still pondered for a moment before saying: "According to the current general trend of the world, there are many things that we can actually complete through negotiations. Now Lu Shirui, the governor of Yingzhou, Zhao Yuankai, the governor of Maozhou, and Shi Leide, the governor of Guanzhou, are preparing to submit a book, in fact, they are just throwing stones to ask for directions, which is a show of goodwill, but most people are still just waiting, they want to see how the general disposes of these ministers, once the law is handled, the situation will change! Not only did the prefectures and counties in Hebei that we were close to immediately respond, but also the generals in Shandong and Zhongzhou submitted letters, but they directly expressed their willingness to surrender. ”
