In the open space in front of the Chinese army's tent were five hundred large chests, all the lids of which had been opened, and they were full of gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, and fine copper coins, which glittered in the sun.

The surroundings were already surrounded by soldiers and generals watching the excitement, and everyone's eyes were full of greed, but they were only watching from afar, and no one dared to step forward and touch these treasures.

Liu Heimin accompanied Xu Yuanlang to carefully inspect these treasures of Dou Jiande, and even Xu Yuanlang's eyes flashed with greed, he himself was born as a pirate, greed for money and plunder were his nature, in his eyes, these treasures were already in his pocket.

"I know, these treasures are stored in my big tent, I won't touch them, I don't know when Lord Xia will return them?" Xu Yuanlang asked quietly.

"According to the information I have gotten, Wang Fubao defeated the Sui army in Hejian County, I estimate that in a month at most, we will drive the Neng Sui army back to Hedong, and these things will be transported back, and during this time, there will be Uncle Lao Xu."

"Well said! Say! ”

Xu Yuanlang narrowed his eyes, but he was secretly thinking about how to get these belongings in his hands.

At this moment, an unexpected accident happened, a box full of pearls accidentally overturned, and the crystal beads poured into the crowd of onlookers, and tens of thousands of plump pearls rolled into the crowd.

The scene was suddenly in chaos, everyone was scrambling to pick up the pearls, and countless soldiers around them also rushed up and snatched them together, many people lost their minds and even reached for other open boxes.

Xu Yuanlang was furious and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop for Lao Tzu! ”

A terrifying murderous intent flashed in Liu Heimin's eyes next to him, Xu Yuanlang has strong martial arts and a fierce personality, if he doesn't use this method, he may not be able to deal with him.

Just as Xu Yuanlang's attention was diverted, Liu Heimin pulled out a sharp dagger from his boot, pounced on it, and strangled his neck with his right arm. A knife was stabbed into Xu Yuanlang's heart, Xu Yuanlang screamed and died instantly.

More than a dozen pro-soldiers next to him were caught off guard, waiting for them to react. Xu Yuanlang had already fallen to the ground and died, they roared angrily and pulled out their knives to pounce, Liu Heimin pulled out Xu Yuanlang's horizontal knife, and met it like a leopard, the knife light flashed, blood splashed, and seven or eight people were killed in an instant.

The hundred Liu Heimin's subordinates standing on the periphery also launched. They swung their knives at a dozen officers, who were looking down to pick up beads, unaware of the danger coming, caught off guard, surrounded by soldiers, and hacked to death in a moment.

At this time, the scene was still in chaos, and another box was overturned, and the gold, silver and jewelry inside were scattered all over the ground. It led to even more frantic looting, but some of the soldiers noticed the anomaly, and they were all stunned by what they saw. Helpless as he stared at the chaos and carnage in front of him.

I don't know if it was because they were killing because they were robbing the jewels, or if something had happened, but with a piercing bell, a thousand elite soldiers burst out of the five hundred chests, and they jumped out of the boxes and killed the chaotic soldiers.

There are mechanisms in the chest, and there is a partition on top, and all the jewels are only placed in a shallow layer, and the people are actually hidden under the partition, and there are two people hidden in each chest. Except for the two overturned boxes, the remaining 498 boxes contained soldiers.

More than 900 soldiers waiting outside the camp gate also rushed in, Liu Heimin conjured 2,000 elites in the blink of an eye, they killed people and set fires, and Xu Yuanlang and the generals were killed at this time. Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the enemy camp, no one organized resistance, and the soldiers were terrified and scattered for their lives.

The camp tent was lit, the flames soared into the sky, and the news was reported to the distance, at this time dozens of large ships docked on the bank of the Yellow River, and a group of elite soldiers rushed down from the boats, this is 12,000 Xia troops from Gaotang County on the opposite bank, led by Liu Heimin's deputy general Song Jingang.

Song Jingang saw the fire in the camp in the distance, and knew that this was Liu Heimin's success, he couldn't wait for the whole team of soldiers, urged the war horses, and shouted, "Kill me with me!" ”

He urged his horses to kill the camp five miles away, and thousands of soldiers behind him shouted and rushed away with him......

Another big ship appeared on the Yellow River, heading to the south bank, on the bow deck, Dou Jiande, who was wearing a gold helmet and silver armor, stared at the land of Qingzhou in the south from afar, and he had infinite emotion in his heart, from today onwards, he will start a new business in this land, work hard, and build a strong Xia Kingdom.

Dou Jiande looked back to the north again, his eyes were full of nostalgia for his homeland, which no longer belonged to him...... The fierce battle between Wang Shichong and Li Mi in the Central Plains has been going on for nearly a month, and the battles between the two sides are mainly concentrated on the front line of the Tiger Prison Pass, launching a tragic tug-of-war, Li Mi has captured the Tiger Prison Pass several times, but Wang Shichong has taken it back, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and wounded on both sides.

Li Mi has already killed the red eye, not only the problem of hundreds of thousands of stone grain, he and the families of the generals are in Luokou City, if Luokou City is not recaptured, he will not be able to explain to the soldiers.

At the same time, he can't explain to the people of the world, Luokou City is his capital, he even lost the capital, what qualifications does he have to compete for the world.

Li Mi's camp was located in Xingyang County, east of Hugao Pass, where Li Mi's 200,000 troops were stationed, and the two sides had not fought for several days, and were in a state of confrontation.

In the early morning, several cavalry rushed from the direction of Guancheng County, the war horses galloped quickly, as if they had brought some urgent information, and said a few words in front of the camp gate, the camp gate opened, and they rushed into the camp and ran along the edge of the horse road to the Chinese army camp.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Mi's mastermind Fang Xuanzao followed a soldier and hurried towards the Chinese army's tent.

"What happened?" Fang Xuanzao asked the soldier, he had an intuition in his heart, King Wei called him in such a hurry, something big must have happened.

"I don't know the specifics, Guancheng County urgently sent an eagle letter, but it seems to be related to Hebei, the lord's expression is very nervous, it should be something big."

Fang Xuanzao was shocked, could it be that Dou Jiande was defeated? During this time, he has been paying attention to the war in Hebei, Yang Yuanqing and Wang Shichong have an alliance, if the war in Hebei ends, the Sui army is likely to free up their hands to interfere in the Central Plains war, and things will be a little troublesome.

He was worried in his heart, and hurried all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army, and a personal soldier immediately reported for him, "Your Highness, Fang Shangshu is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

Fang Xuanzao was sealed by Li as the secretary of the ministry, in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials, but in fact, he was Li Mi's chief military advisor and participated in the decision-making of important military affairs.

Fang Xuanzao lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent, in addition to Li Mi alone, there was also Bing Yuanzhen, who was also the secretary of the household department, and he sat on the side, his expression was extremely serious.

Li Mi paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, from the speed of his pace, it could be seen that he should be very anxious in his heart, Li Mi had just received urgent information from Guancheng County, this was an eagle letter sent by the spies he planted in Leshou, Dou Jiande was defeated by the Sui army in Leshou County with an army of 300,000.

This ending was expected by Li Mi, Dou Jiande took the former Zhai Rang route of the Wagang Army, that is, the collection of various forces, the 300,000 army is lined with mountains, each force has its own plans, the 300,000 army seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is full of holes, as long as the Sui army kills it, it will become a mess, how can it be undefeated?

Although the news of Dou Jiande's defeat in Hebei was expected by Li Mi, when the news really came, Li Mi still felt an irrepressible panic.

Dou Jiande failed, who would that one be? Will Yang Yuanqing take advantage of Hebei's great victory and take advantage of the fierce battle between him and Wang Shichong to attack his rear?

The lesson of the Sui army's capture of Heyang Pass in the Yellow River taught him that the Sui army would do so, and that they would take advantage of the fact that their army was pinned down to attack behind them.

Anxiety and worry made Li Mi's heart chaotic, and he didn't know where to start.

"See His Royal Highness King Wei!" Fang Xuanzao walked into the big tent and bowed.

Fang Xuanzao's arrival lifted Li Mi's spirits, he was like grabbing a piece of life-saving wood in the torrent, and hurriedly said, "Sir, please sit down!" ”

Fang Xuanzao sat down on the other side of the big tent, opposite Bing Yuan Zhen Yaoyao, the two glanced at each other, but at the same time avoided their gazes, both of them had a trace of hostility in their eyes, this is the chronic disease of literati, where there are literati, there is a secret fight.

Li Mi was no longer in the mood to care about the secret fight between them at this time, and he hurriedly handed the eagle letter sent by Guancheng County to Fang Xuanzao.

Fang Xuanzao opened the eagle letter, and as he expected, Dou Jiande was defeated in Hebei, and the 300,000 army was completely annihilated by the Sui army, and Dou Jiande's whereabouts are unknown.

He sighed, "The lord should be mentally prepared like this!" ”

Li Mi nodded and said, "I thought about it, but now my heart is very chaotic, and I don't know where to start, please teach me." ”

Fang Xuanzao glanced at Bing Yuanzhen and smiled slightly: "I don't know if Bing Shangshu has any good ideas?" ”

Bing Yuanzhen sneered, "I advise the lord to send someone to negotiate with Yang Yuanqing....."

Bing Yuanzhen only said one thing, not the second, and the rest of the words were not closed, Li Mi had no choice but to continue his words and said: "Bing Shangshu means that Yang Yuanqing's main opponent is Li Yuan, persuade me to negotiate peace with Yang Yuanqing, and let Yang Yuanqing temporarily give up plotting against the Central Plains and turn to deal with Li Yuan." ”

"But did Bing Shangshu ever think that there was a settlement agreement between the Sui and Tang Dynasties, would they fight according to Bing Shangshu's arrangement?" Fang Xuanzao had a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Humph! I didn't say let them fight in Guanzhong, the Tang army is moving south, I heard that the 200,000 army that has already defeated Xiliang, will Yang Yuanqing stand by and watch? We went to negotiate with Yang Yuanqing and provide convenience for the transit, so that the Sui army could cross the border to support Xiao Miao. ”

The mockery in Fang Xuanzao's eyes became even stronger, "Has Bing Shangshu ever heard of the false way of destroying the enemy?" ”

"You-"

Bing Shangshu said angrily: "You are pedantic! ”

"That's it!"

Li Mi stopped the fight between them, and said to Fang Xuanzao with some displeasure: "Now the situation is urgent, I want to hear Mr.'s strategy." ”

Fang Xuanzao had already thought of a countermeasure, and he said slowly: "My countermeasure is very simple, close to Luoyang, distant to Chang'an, and north to resist the Sui Dynasty......
