"I lost, and I lost cleanly."

The autumn breeze is gentle.

The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the wind was gentle. But Liu Heimin's world is gloomy, and his mood is also bitter.

He was embarrassed at this point.

As the king of Handong County of the Xia Kingdom, but at this time, he was only wearing a crotch cloth, naked and naked, and he didn't know who had left a big footprint on his buttocks.

Standing in front of the emperor, Liu Heimin reached out and brushed his loose hair.

"Is there any wine?" He asked. "I really want to have two drinks now."

The emperor beckoned, and a young Yi'er attendant poured wine and handed it over, Liu Heimin drank it all in one gulp, "I am a loser, a complete loser, and I lost everything." He slapped his wine and spat out a mouth full of wine.

Luo Cheng listened to his somewhat chaotic words and smiled slightly.

"If you knew today, why bother?"

"Yes, if you knew today, why bother in the first place, but it's not too late, right?" Liu Heimin held the wine glass in his hand, his eyes were crimson, staring at the emperor, his eyes were full of anticipation.

"What do you want to say?"

Liu Heimin said, "Your Majesty, I am like brothers to Emperor Xia, and I am willing to go back and persuade him to return." ”

But the emperor just shook his head.

"Your Majesty doesn't believe me? Still don't believe in my relationship with Emperor Xia? ”

"Liu Heimin, it is said that your nickname is Black Otter? You've worked under me for a while, and I'm just a small general at that time, with only a few thousand people under my hands, so I'm still very concerned about a 200-person commander. I know your ability, and I also know your character, if it is Dou Jiande who is standing in front of me now, then I will believe his words, but now you say that you want to go back and persuade Dou Jiande, I don't believe it. ”

"Your Majesty, I mean what I say." Liu Heimin swore with a gambling curse.

"Your Majesty, I can help you surrender Hebei, I can save you a big war, reduce countless casualties, I can defuse the 200,000 Xia army for you, Your Majesty, you have to believe me."

But the emperor just shook his head.

"Liu Heimin, I won't let you go back to Hebei, if you really have the heart, then you can write a letter of persuasion to Dou Jiande and them, of course, I won't care too much, because I don't think it will be useful. Now, even if Dou Jiande is willing to surrender, the generals under him may not be willing to surrender, and sooner or later there will still be a battle, and if they don't fight this battle, they will still have illusions. Luo Cheng waved his hand and came up with a few guards, "Take him down, by the way, bring him a pot of wine, this pot of wine, even if I respect you and I have fought side by side, but, it stops there." ”

Liu Heimin was dragged away by the guards in some despair.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be attached, I can recruit Hebei for you, and I am willing to conquer Guanzhong and Jiangnan for Your Majesty!" Liu Heimin shouted hoarsely.

The guards ignored him.

"Your Majesty, Liu Heimin is a fierce general, and he is rare in terms of martial arts, why don't you accept him?" Xiao Yu asked.

Wei Zheng said with a smile on the side, "Your Majesty is not short of fierce generals now, and I am like a cloud of fierce generals." Although Liu Heimin is fierce, this person has an average character and is unruly. At first, he voted for His Majesty first, and then left. Later, he followed Dou Jiande, but he went to vote for Li Mi halfway, Li Mi was defeated, and he came back to attach himself to Dou Jiande. How can such a person be used, what's more, now that Dou Jiande has not been attached, Liu Heimin will never be sincerely attached. ”

The emperor smiled and nodded to Wei Zheng, this Wei Lao Dao's guess in many places is still very accurate.

"Summoning Zaisuke, military council!"

The Battle of Daibei has ended, and only 50,000 of the 200,000 Turkic troops have not been encircled and annihilated, but the emperor has planned to leave them alone for the time being.

Even if Jieli ran away, he only sent light horses to search for him.

Soon, in the city in the clouds, the prime ministers and generals gathered.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy.

Jieli was defeated, and the biggest crisis in Daqin was resolved.

"Your Majesty, Jieli fled in panic, who are we going to fight next? Hebei Dou Jiande or Guanzhong Li Yuan? ”

The emperor leaned back in his chair, very comfortable and relaxed, and his nerves were tense during this time, and now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"First the north and then the south, this is the decision prepared earlier, now that the Jieli army is gone, and the panic is fleeing north, we can leave him alone, and the Turks in Mobei will be handed over to the Tiele people to bite, and now we will first come to pacify the north." I think that we can concentrate on fighting Dou Jiande first, and after pacifying Hebei, we can then settle the pass. ”

Although the current strength of the Qin army can fight on two fronts, it is difficult to supply logistics, after all, this war has been fought for several months, mobilized hundreds of thousands of horses, and the cost is huge.

"Minister's support."

Zhang Xutuo, the privy envoy of the first bigwig of the military, made a statement.

"The minister also supports hitting Hebei first."

Wei Wensheng, the secretary of the military department, followed suit.

Wei Zheng, Xiao Yu, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Du Yan, Hou Mochen and other prime ministers also agreed. The east and west fronts are fighting, and the pressure is still too much.

Now that there are troops and horses of Luo Siye and Li Liang on the Western Front, it is enough, and they don't want to be able to defeat Li Yuan and enter Guanzhong, as long as they cooperate with Shan Xiongxin of Wuguan and Huang Junhan of Sanguan to pressure Guanzhong, so that Li Yuan can't go out of the pass to make trouble.

When Hebei is cleaned up, it will be a matter of course to come to Pingguanzhong again.

"Your Majesty, Li Zitong captured the three counties of Jiangdu, Liyang and Zhongli, Shen Faxing captured Lujiang and Tong'an, Lin Shihong captured Qichun, and Xiao Mo also sent troops to attack the four counties of Handong, and now I have lost most of the South Qinhuai Road and Shannan Road."

Hou Mochen reminded the emperor that while the war in the north was victorious, there were also some minor problems in the south.

"I decided to appoint Qin Qiong as the head of the Huainan Provincial Camp, responsible for the front-line war in Huainan, recovering the city, and repelling the invasion. On the Shannan front, I appointed Shan Xiongxin as the head of the camp and was responsible for the war in Shannan Province. ”

For the war in these two places, the emperor's instructions were to fight only a limited defensive counterattack battle to defend the territory, repel the invasion and regain the lost territory, not to expand the scale, not to cross the Yangtze River and the Han River.

Therefore, the emperor did not have many soldiers and horses for the two governors, and each sent them an army of 24,000 men, plus more than 10,000 men in the two provinces.

After the victory, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops and 100,000 people will go south, of which 50,000 will be stationed in Luoyang and Hedong, and the other 50,000 will be led by Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin to guard Huainan and Shannan.

For the rest of the army, Cheng Yanjin led an army of 20,004 to defend Hetao, Liu Hongji led 20,000 to defend Mayi, and Xue Wanche led 24,000 people to Taiyuan.

Zhao Gui led an army to Tun Fanyang, Feng Xiaoci led an army to Tun Weibo, and the emperor personally led 50,000 horses out of Hengshan through Jingcheng.

The remaining people and horses were disbanded and returned to their hometowns.

Luo Cunxiao led an army out of Qi County, Shandong, and crossed the Yellow River to the north, and Luo Shixin led an army out of the pass to attack the river from the sea.

The 150,000 army was divided into five ways to besiege Dou Jiande in Hebei.

"Three months, before the first snow fell, we will defeat Dou Jiande in one fell swoop and pacify Hebei!"

At the imperial military meeting, the emperor smashed his fist on the map, and said with arrogance.

Autumn is not long in coming, and it will only be about three months before the first snow falls.

"Destroy the summer in March and pacify Hebei!"

The crowd shouted!

After the great destruction of the Turks, the Qin army was already extremely confident.
