Li Chongjiu led an army of 30,000 people to enter the city, which caused the entire Hebei to vibrate.

was confronting Liu Heimin with Wei Chigong in Xindu, and after listening to Ling Jing's advice, he was silent for a long time.

When Liu Heimin heard this, Li Chongjiu attacked from the waterway and took Zhaozhou directly, but at that moment he led the whole army into the onslaught of Wei Chigong. The two armies fought fiercely for two days, and both suffered heavy casualties. Wei Chigong saw that Liu Heimin was powerful, and finally had to retreat by night.

Liu Jun's camp was brightly lit, Liu Heimin was looking at the darkness in the distance from the mountain, and Zhao Jun was retreating, his eyes were solemn. It was not that he did not want to pursue, but the pursuit in the dark was extremely risky, although he defeated Wei Chigong today, but the tenacious battle of the Zhao army under Wei Chigong also made Liu Heimin dare not pursue lightly in the middle of the night, so as not to encounter an ambush.

On the side, his brother Liu Shishan was hit by an arrow in his right arm in today's battle, and now he is wrapped in his arms and Liu Heimin said: "The Zhao army withdrew by night, but the main force did not suffer major losses. At present, Li Chongjiu has already reached Qinghe County, and the distance is only a hundred miles, and we can't fight with Wei Chigong anymore, otherwise Zhaozhou will not be protected. ”

Liu Heimin said: "What I'm worried about is not Zhaozhou, if I retreat from other counties, the guards will have different intentions, Zhang Xuansu, Li Chongjiu is going to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle and force me to go back to Zhaozhou." ”

At this time, Ling Jing came up the mountain and said, "General......"

Liu Heimin looked at Ling Jing's expression and knew that something bad was happening. Liu Heimin smiled indifferently and said, "Say, what else is going on right now, it can be worse." ”

Ling Jing was silent for a while, and said: "Zhuge Dewei, the general of Raoyang, and two thousand defenders, surrendered the city to the Zhao army. ”

Liu Heimin raised his head and laughed, there was a bit of desolation in his laughter, and all the generals on the side lowered their heads.

Liu Heimin said: "Zhuge Dewei, Zhuge Dewei, I didn't expect you to bear me first." ”

It turned out that Liu Heimin and Zhuge Dewei had a very good personal relationship at the beginning. They are called brothers to each other, but at the moment, Zhuge Dewei turned out to be the first general of the Xia Army to announce the change of flag. Not only that, Raoyang is an important town in Hejian County, and as soon as Raoyang is lost, the back road of Gaoyang City, where Gao Yaxian is stationed, will be cut off.

Raoyang City plus Changlu County, which was attacked by Li Chongjiu, and in Hejian County, only Gaoyang was left in the Xia army. The second place of Leshou has almost become an isolated city.

Zhang Jun said: "King Xia, for today's plan Wei Chi Gong temporarily retreats, our army is going north, counterattacking Raoyang, and killing Zhuge Dewei, a traitor." Rescue Gao Yaxian and Su Dingfang from Gaoyang......"

Liu Heimin took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Junli, Zhang Junli also shook his head and didn't say any more, obviously he also realized that this matter was too unreliable.

"Brother Gao, I, Liu Heimin, have lost you." Liu Heimin sighed and said, "Pass on my general order and return to Shizhou." ”

On the Yongji Canal, hundreds of ships go down along the canal, it is magnificent, Li Chongjiu's water army is unstoppable, has entered the Linqing Dynasty, the first line of the pavilion pottery.

Pavilion Tao City before the opening of Yongji Canal. That is, it is already an important place, in the past the ancient Yellow River flowed through the pavilion pottery land, this place is called the big river so desecration, to the Western Han Dynasty Yuanfeng two years of the Yellow River decided in the pavilion pottery, divided out of the Tunshi River a branch.

After Cao Cao attacked the Yecheng where Yuan Shang was located, he dug the Licao Canal again, and led the Zhangshui to the east in the southwest of the Guantao Licao mouth into the white ditch. After Cao Wei captured Yecheng. Yedu was built here, and Yedu is known as the four seas.

At present, Yecheng has long been burned down, but the rebuilt city of Yecheng has banned Yecheng. The land of Zhaozhou roughly covers the former Handan. The birthplace of Yecheng, although the Yongnian City where Liu Heimin set up the capital is a county, but now it is the famous city near the canal in Zhaozhou that is becoming more and more prosperous.

In the Water Margin, Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Shijie, also known as Liang Zhongshu guarded here, in the Northern Song Dynasty, because of the loss of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, so the Daimyo Mansion became an important town in the north of the Yellow River in the Northern Song Dynasty, which was called the control of the Heshuo, the power of the North Gate lock key, and later became the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, called Beijing, which was the largest city in Hebei in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Li Chongjiu looked at the map, and couldn't help but think of the ancients, thinking of another time and space, hundreds of years later, the Jin State broke through the Daimyo's Mansion and went south to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?"

Listening to Zhang Xuansu's question, Li Chongjiu came back to his senses, and now the Yongji Canal has only been opened for a short time, and the current famous city is of course far less prosperous than the famous city in history, and the pavilion pottery city in front of him is more prosperous than the famous city. But for Li Chongjiu, the geographical advantages of the daimyo have been revealed, which is not only an important port in Zhaozhou, but also the main road connecting Liyangcang and the Yellow River to the south.

Li Chongjiu and Zhang Xuansu were planning, they planned to board the 6th in the famous city, and the soldiers changed from boats to walking, directly threatening Liu Heimin's base camp in Yongnian City, so that Liu Heimin had to withdraw his troops from the front line and return to Baozhou.

However, to reach the Daimyo, you must pass through the Tateso Waterway.

At this time, it was almost night, and hundreds of ships of the Zhao army were on the river, and the bows of the ships were lit with lights, illuminating the water surface clearly. The river is full of sparks. Now there is a calm and calm on the Guantao waterway, but the soldiers of Zhao do not dare to take it lightly, so the hydrology and geography here are very complicated.

Cao Cao dug a white ditch here, and opened to Nanzhangshui, plus the river was vertical and horizontal, so the soldiers did not dare to take it lightly.

Li Chongjiu asked Zhang Xuansu: "Who is the Tao Shou General of the Xia Army Pavilion?" ”

Zhang Xuansu replied: "It's Cheng Mingzhen." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "This person is a famous general of the Xia Army. Won't he surrender to our army? ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "This person is a little stubborn, and it is not something that can be lured by words." ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Since you don't know the current affairs, it's the same to capture him." ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "It's about to fall into the night, so it's better for our army to anchor here for the night, and it's not too late to go again tomorrow." ”

Before Li Chongjiu could speak, Xue Wanche said on the side: "Our army is advancing in parallel with 6 waters, just to kill Liu Heimin by surprise, and now because of the fear of a Cheng Mingzhen, I don't dare to sail, it's not a joke." ”

Wang Ma Hanyan, the general on the side, said: "Yes, the waterway of the Yongji Canal is just suitable for night boating, except for the fear of running aground, there is no need to worry about the rapids and river stones, and the boat is not afraid at all." ”

Zhang Xuansu objected: "Although it is possible to sail, but the horse army and civilian servants have to rest, there is no cavalry to escort the two sides of the strait, and our navy is alone in the depths, if something happens, it will not be good." ”

Xue Wanche said: "A certain wish leads ten small boats to open the way for the army. ”

Li Chongjiu saw that all the generals were planning to march by night, and immediately said: "It's not a moment and a half, how much more can you go in one night, pass on my general's order, stop here tonight, and then go south after dawn tomorrow." ”

The generals listened to the moment and received the command.

That night, the Zhao army's navy was anchored on the Guantao waterway, and at dawn the next day, Zhang Xuansu reported to Li Chongjiu, saying: "Li Wenxiang, the general of the Xia army, led 3,000 men and horses to the east bank to surrender our army. ”

Li Chongjiu asked in surprise: "Li Wenxiang is coming down at this moment, isn't it a deception?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said with a smile: "The king doesn't know, Li Wenxiang is also called Li Shanghu, he was also one of the anti-kings in the past, and then surrendered Li Mi and became the general of Wagang, and Xu Shiji is a righteous brother, and then Li Mi was defeated, and had to surrender Dou Jiande. ”

Li Chongjiu said happily: "Don't say it earlier, let him come to see me on the boat." ”

Soon after, Li Wenxiang personally boarded the ship to meet Li Chongjiu. Although Li Wenxiang was unknown, when he raised troops against the Sui, he was not in Wagangzhai than Li Mi, so he could be regarded as a prince on his own side.

So when he saw that the other party boarded the boat, he bowed down, and Li Chongjiu did not slack off, and slowly helped Li Wenxiang up, and said: "With the help of Li Gong, attacking Zhaozhou, a big thing will be accomplished." ”

Li Wenxiang heard that Li Chongjiu respected himself and called him a prince, and he was very happy in his heart, so he hurriedly lowered his body and said: "King Zhao has tormented the villain, a martial artist, he is not worthy of such praise from King Zhao, but he did help King Zhao capture Zhou." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "We are going to pass through the pavilion today and arrive at the Daimyo landing, but we don't know the reality of Cheng Mingzhen. ”

Li Wenxiang said: "I have a henchman who is a small colonel under Cheng Mingzhen, and last night he risked his life to report to me, saying that Cheng Mingzhen was secretly ambushing dozens of fireboats under a river bay on the east bank, and he would attack the army as soon as it arrived. ”

Hearing this, Xue Wanche, Wang Mahan and other generals who advocated attacking last night were all ashamed.

Li Chongjiu glanced at them and said: "Pass the order to let Wu Gu Nai, Qin Qiong and the two of them lead five thousand elite horsemen to search along the river, and I want to capture Cheng Mingzhen alive." ”

Li Wenxiang said: "A newcomer is willing to help. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I'm tired of Gong Li." ”

After that, Li Wenxiang led the ride with Wu Gu Nai, and Qin Qiong would come out together. Li Chongjiu did not ask for the anchor to be lifted immediately, but waited on the shore.

Soon after, Qin Qiong, Li Wenxiang and others returned together, and Li Wenxiang hugged his fists to Li Chongjiu on the ship and said: "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, annihilated more than 2,000 people of the Xia army, captured all the fireboats, and Cheng Mingzhen, the general of the Xia army, was captured. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Bring this person to see it." ”

When a general of the Xia Army was escorted by four soldiers, and he was escorted to the front of the boat, Li Chongjiu looked at the other party and said, "You are Cheng Mingzhen?" ”

The other party struggled for a while and said: "If it weren't for Li Wenxiang, a traitor, who betrayed Yu, how could you capture me." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "After the defeat of the army, then prevaricate and make excuses, not for the wind of the generals, now that the pavilion pottery is broken, our army will be able to take the state directly, Liu Heimin's situation is in danger, why should you be loyal to the Xia army again, it is better to surrender to my Dazhao as soon as possible, how about taking you as the governor of the navy?" ”

Cheng Mingzhen hesitated for a while after hearing this, and then said: "It's okay to drop you, but my mother and my wife are both in Zhaozhou, if someone descends to you, their lives will definitely not be guaranteed, no, no." ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "It's okay to be so good, let's take it for the time being, what do you say after I break the state?" ”

Cheng Ming said: "Then a certain qiē Xitingzun is." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded, and said immediately: "It's okay, take care of this person first, and the army will continue to advance." ”
