(for collection)

Yu Wenshu, who was removed from all official positions, was reactivated and still led the military.In the first month of the ninth year of Daye, the second expedition to Liao began amidst the complaints of the common people.Yang Guang's imperial chariot left Chang'an on the 25th of the first lunar month, and went to Huaiyuan Town again all the way.

Although it was only half a year later, Yang Guang had already forgotten the young man he met by chance by the Liao River.He was becoming more and more lazy to use his brain now, and basically didn't bother to look at the memorial that was submitted.Occasionally, when I think about it, I feel tired and irritable after not reading a few copies, so I simply throw them all aside and ignore them.

This time, the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven went north, guarding the imperial chariot, and only traveled by land for two days, then changed to a dragon boat and went up Hebei.

Soldiers from various armies set out one after another, and Yang Guang asked all armies to meet up in Huaiyuan Town before March. Teams with farther journeys needed to travel all day and night. As for food and supplies, the least thing to worry about was the matter.The Great Sui Dynasty was the most prosperous in the world, and the granaries in various places stored enough grain to feed the entire Great Sui people for many years.In fact, until the late Tang Dynasty, there was still food in the granaries built by the Sui Dynasty.

People from all walks of life hurried on their way, but Li Xian's Yanshanzhai troops stopped at the junction of Xindu County and Qinghe County. The place where the army stopped was less than [-] miles away from Gucheng County.

"General, isn't it too childish for us to do this?"

Iron Wolf followed Li Xian to patrol the camp, asking in a low voice as he walked.

"Children's play?"

Li Xian smiled softly: "The court of the Great Sui Dynasty has become chaotic to a certain extent. All the troops are heading north. We will stop here for a few days. Who knows which government army team we are? We are playing the banner of the Great Sui Dynasty. Don't worry, No one would doubt it."

"I'm worried. Our team is stationed here. What if the gangsters in Gaojibo, Gao Shida, and Dou Jiande, don't dare to come out again after receiving the letter?"

Li Xian nodded and said: "I just want Gao Shida not to dare to come out. You will take the cavalry and follow me into Gucheng County, and I will meet the magistrate of Gucheng County. Chen Que'er said that Li County Magistrate is really not Good stuff, by the way, I would like to ask about the situation of Gao Jibo."

"Don't hit high chickens?"

Iron Wolf was surprised.

Li Xian hummed and said, "No."

Tie Liaolang was at a loss, and really couldn't figure out what the general was thinking.When the army set off, the original strategy was to take advantage of the opportunity of Gao Shida to come out to capture Gaojibo, and then use the hundreds of miles of marshes as a base to plan other places.It just seems that the general is not satisfied with Gao Jibo anymore.

Li Xian was indeed dissatisfied with Gaojibo. From the Flying Tiger spy sent by Chen Que'er to meet the army, Li Xian had already asked the terrain of Gaojibo clearly. Still not dangerous enough.It is the hinterland of the Central Plains, without a secure base, it is absolutely untenable.Before arriving in Qinghe County, Li Xian was not very clear about the terrain. He had the impression that Gaojibo should be a suitable place to live, but after arriving in Qinghe County, Li Xian took a look and found that the terrain here was too flat, not an ideal place.

When Chen Que'er's secret agents in Xindu County followed him, Li Xian began to consider changing places.

The reason why he didn't make it clear to Tie Liaolang and others in the past few days is because he didn't think of a solution until last night.This method is not a good idea, but Li Xian thinks there should be an [-]% chance of success.The other place he has been to is the most suitable place for the army to temporarily station. As long as it succeeds, it will be far more stable than Gaojibo.

He smiled and said to Tie Liaolang: "Call everyone, and tell you about my plan."

Iron Wolf nodded, turned and left.

Half an hour later, in Li Xian's big tent, everyone fell silent after Li Xian finished his plan. Li Xian was not in a hurry, but quietly waited for everyone to express their opinions.After a while, Daxi Changru breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Anzhi, your strategy is too bold, but I see that there is an [-]% chance of winning."

Zhang Zhongjian also said: "It is indeed a little risky, but as the saying goes, wealth and wealth are found in danger. Gaojibo is indeed not a stable place, it is better to rest assured on Yanshan Mountain. If this plan works, it is indeed far more expensive than Gaojibo Much more stable."

"It's just that the person left here must be a bold and careful person. He has to deal with the temptations of Gao Shida and others, and he must also deal with the county magistrate of the old city. He must be a thoughtful person. An Zhi, you have a leader Candidates?"

Daxi long Confucianism and Taoism.

Li Xian smiled, looked at Daxi Changru and smiled without saying a word.

Daxi Changru was taken aback for a moment, then pointed to his nose and said, "You don't mean you want me to do this?"

Li Xian nodded, and said very seriously: "Master, although there are many generals in the army, none of them is as good as you in the overall command. If you are in charge, great things will be accomplished!"

He thought for a while and said: "This battle is the first surprise attack. So master, you don't have to worry too much. I will only take the troops from the Ruijin camp. As long as the opponent is fooled, it will not be difficult to take him down. Master leads four Battalion soldiers and horses stationed here, forgive me that Gao Shida dare not attack more than 2 government soldiers even if the time is right. When the time is right, I will lead the Ruijin Battalion in one battle and complete the battle. When the time comes, Master, you will lead the army and fight I meet."

"Only take the Ruijin camp? Is it too little? In my opinion, at least the thick earth camp of the majestic sea should be brought."

Daxi Changru asked.

Li Xian shook his head: "This battle is aimed at a surprise attack. The light cavalry of the Ruijin Camp are fast, and the infantry can't keep up with the speed of the Qing cavalry. What's more, there are [-] heavy armored infantry in the Houtu Camp in Xiongkuohai. If this plan If it really succeeds, the strength of the Ruijin Battalion is enough to deal with it. If it fails, I will lead the army back faster, and we will try to improve ourselves."

After Li Xian finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and asked softly, "Do you have any objections?"

Everyone clasped their fists and said, "It's all up to the general's orders!"

……

……

Gucheng county magistrate Li Jian stood nervously at the gate of the city, and looked back at the aides and the head catcher Liu An behind him, only to see that they were shivering from the cold, and their faces were full of panic.Li Jian suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took out a handkerchief and wiped the snot that was dripping from the cold.

He had been standing outside the city gate for half an hour with the people from the county yamen and the gentry and wealthy households from Gucheng County, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed that he hadn't seen the big man arrive.Turning around and looking at the carriage parked by the side of the road, he really wanted to get in to avoid the wind.I persisted for a while, but it was too cold to bear.Li Jian turned around and ordered: "Liu An, send a few people to look along the official road, why haven't they come yet?"

Liu An quickly agreed, and sent a few apprentices to ride along the official road to check.

Li Jian tried his best to look far away, but seeing no movement, he trotted over and got into the carriage, sat down next to the brazier in the carriage, and sneezed several times in a row.

Early this morning, a lieutenant of the government soldiers arrived at the Gucheng county government office.Said that General Xue Shixiong, the soldier of Ying Yanglang, was ordered to eradicate the rebels in Gaojibo, and he wanted to go to the city to visit the county magistrate.This startled Li Jian, he was just a magistrate of a small county, a junior official from the seventh rank.However, General Ying Yanglang is a general of the fourth rank, and the difference in rank is too great.Moreover, he is still a powerful faction with tens of thousands of soldiers in his hands. How can he not be nervous?

The school lieutenant only said that the general would arrive later, Li Jian hurriedly summoned the squires in the county, and then hurriedly led the people from the county government to the gate of the city to greet him, but he couldn't wait for the left and right, but he was so cold Enough.Sitting in the carriage, Li Jian cursed a few words in a low voice, sniffed the snot that flowed out again.

Before he warmed up, he heard Liu An, the head catcher, shouting anxiously outside: "My lord, here we come!"

Li Jian, whose buttocks were still warm, got out of the carriage quickly, tidied his clothes and stood by the roadside waiting.He raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see a wave of dust and smoke rolling in the distance.Looking at that posture, it seems that a sandstorm is coming from the horizon.Immediately afterwards, the thunderous rumbling sound of horseshoes stamping on the ground came from afar. The sound was like drums beating endlessly on people's hearts, which made the heart feel uncomfortable.As the rumbling sound got closer, Li Jian even had the illusion that the ground was shaking.

Finally, he saw the team coming.Those are countless Great Sui cavalry!

The khaki uniforms and the red Sui battle flags make it easy to tell that this is an elite military force.It was the first time for Li Jian to see so many cavalry, and it looked like a wave that could swallow the entire old city and county, which was frightening.The cavalry came surging, as if they could crush any obstacles in front of them.

"Cough cough!"

Li Jian couldn't help coughing a few times, looked down, and saw that the newly replaced government office had already been covered with a thick layer of dust.

At the opening of the gate flag, first two rows of fine armored soldiers riding tall horses came out and separated to the left and right, and then a few soldiers wearing the school captain's armor flashed to the two sides, and a black armored soldier riding an unusually majestic and big black horse The general appeared in front of Li Jian.Li Jian wanted to see the face of the man clearly, but he shivered in fright when he looked at him.That man's green face and fangs were so ferocious, like an evil spirit drilled out of hell.

The general in black armor pushed up the visor and said to Li Jian with a smile on his horseback, "Your Majesty Lao County is waiting."

A knight who looked like a school lieutenant said to Li Jian, "This is our General Xue!"

Li Jian saluted quickly and said: "My subordinate Li Jian led his colleagues and squires from the old city to see General Xue."

Li Xian jumped off the big black horse and didn't see him. He took Li Jian's hand and walked into the city: "Haha, it's impolite to keep the county king waiting for a long time! I will follow His Majesty's order to destroy Gaojibo is a traitor, and will rely on the help of the county lord in the future."

The strength in Li Xian's hand was so great that it hurt to hold Li Jian's wrist.It's just because of his face, Li Jian couldn't say anything, so he could only say a few words of greeting with a smile on his face.Li Xian walked into the city
