At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 326
At the foot of Tongshan.

Pei Xingyan is holding a telescope...

Watching Liu Heita's retreat direction, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He didn't expect that Liu Heita was so timid.

As soon as you see Zhongfu, you run away immediately.

There was no turning back.

That's right.

Under the command of the lord.

He had already rushed back to Tongshan.

And in order to deal with the Hebei Army, an ambush was set up.

First, he dispatched [-] troops to cut off the retreat of Liu Heita's [-] troops.

Immediately after...

It was the charge of three thousand Iron Buddha soldiers in black armor.

Then, he also prepared a large amount of gunpowder for them.

but……

They hadn't had time to charge yet.

Liu Heitai withdrew.

He only has [-] troops, and there is no way to keep all the [-] troops.

And the iron stupa is extremely heavy.

The pursuit ability is far from enough.

"The whole army hides and kills, kill as many enemies as possible!"

Helpless, he could only issue such an order.

The army chasing Liu Heita killed indiscriminately.

However, Liu Heitai has been on the battlefield for a long time and is not mediocre.

In the end, he successfully led [-] troops out of his encirclement.

……

The remaining [-] troops will rectify the casualties.

Nearly [-] casualties were quickly counted!

Liu Heitai's expression was gloomy.

Now it's even harder to explain to His Majesty.

And he sat down and the generals...

They expressed dissatisfaction.

"General, our army has 10 people. Even if we are surrounded, the enemy's army is 5, we will not necessarily lose!"

"General, we shouldn't retreat from this battle!"

Everyone felt that they should not retreat just now.

Liu Heikai glared at them coldly, and said with a sneer, "Who is the commander here? If the enemy dares to set up an ambush, they must have something to rely on. You think Pei Xingyan, who can cooperate with the Henan Army in taking the nineteen prefectures of Taiyuan in two days and one night, is a fool." ?"

He chose to retreat this time.

Purely out of caution.

Don't dare to underestimate the enemy rashly.

Moreover, Pei Xingyan's attainments in military law, from arranging troops to deploying tactics, are not ordinary generals.

At least since his short confrontation, he felt very strenuous.

then……

After the defeat, he directly wrote a letter of apology and sent it back to Jincheng Palace.

Handed it over to Dou Jiande.

"Your Majesty, I was defeated in Tongshan and lost nearly [-] soldiers. The crime is very serious!"

First, he confessed his guilt.

Then he recounted the reason for his retreat: "Pei Xingyan was an ordinary person before, but since this confrontation, his army is well-organized, and he is well versed in the formation of troops, and there are no mistakes. , so back off!"

In the end, he even bluntly stated in the letter of guilt: "Pei Xingyan is a serious problem in my heart in Hebei. If it is not eradicated, I will never have peace in Hebei!"

After receiving this letter...

Dou Jiande was silent.

He vaguely remembered that the military division didn't say that before.

The military division told him.

Pei Xingyan is a mediocre talent.

Nothing will ever work.

Not enough to be afraid of.

but now……

When Taiyuan was destroyed, the army division suddenly disappeared.

There was no more trace.

Rumor has it……

The military division has been killed by the rebels.

For this reason, he was also sad for a long time.

"The military master will not lie to me!"

"In my opinion, this Liu Heita has been frightened out of his wits by Pei Xingyan! Comparing with the military adviser, you can see who is superior!"

In the end, Dou Jiande ordered in a deep voice, and directly replaced Liu Heita.

"Since you can't do it, let the capable ones live there!"

A decree was delivered.

Liu Heita removed all military power.

Withdrew from the front line and went back to Jincheng Palace to accept the crime.

Replaced with a young brave general, Zhao Qi.

The new official takes office three times, and he is also a supporter of the loyal military adviser.

Assertions to the military division...

Certainly.

When the military adviser used a trick at the beginning, Pei Xingyan was so frightened that he retreated dozens of miles.

After he came to the front line and took over the military power...

Immediately said to the generals under his command: "The military adviser once said that Pei Xingyan is suspicious by nature, mediocre and without plan. Against this point, there will be a plan!"

Then he spoke of his plan.

"The three sides of Tongshan Mountain are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the northeast side is the easiest to attack! The plan is to start from Cangzhou and attack the northeast side of Tongshan Mountain!"

The generals made a comparison on the map.

Soon, a general found a flaw: "If we start from Cangzhou, then we will have a smooth road to the south of Hebei. If Pei Xingyan invades on a large scale..."

on the map……

If they give up on the south, Pei Xingyan will take a detour from the other side of Tongshan...

Attack them directly to the south, and that's all over.

The Henan army will drive straight in.

Capture at least four of their cities!

When Liu Heita was in command, he considered this situation and sent heavy troops to guard the south.

In this regard.

Zhao Qi sneered and said, "How could I not know about such a flaw? However, the military adviser has asserted that Pei Xingyan is suspicious by nature, and seeing such a big flaw, he must not dare to act lightly!"

"While he was hesitating, as long as our army storms the northeast of Tongshan Mountain, we will surely be able to defeat him in one fell swoop!"

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

It seemed that what Zhao Qi said had some truth.

But doing so is simply too risky.

only……

Zhao Qi insisted on going his own way.

He didn't pay attention to Pei Xingyan at all.

Directly led the army to attack the northeast.

The south side is vacated.

A huge flaw was revealed.

……

bare hill.

At this time, Pei Xingyan was very confused.

"What's going on? Liu Heita lost his mind?"

He still didn't know that the main player who was facing him had been replaced by Zhao Qi.

He picked up the binoculars and looked at Zhao Qi's army that was attacking Tongshan, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"They won't take Ling Qian's words seriously, will they?"

Suddenly he finds...

It seems that I have encountered a surprise.

Such a big flaw was right in front of his eyes.

Clear the south and give him a chance to attack?

Moreover, Tongshan is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Even if the enemy army is attacking from the northeast, it is impossible to be breached in a short while.

"Ten thousand soldiers stay behind, and the remaining [-], follow me, go down the mountain from the other side, and attack Hebei!"

Taking a deep breath, Pei Xingyan will certainly not let go of this easy-to-get credit.

Take [-] soldiers directly, and go down the mountain from the other side.

And this scene...

Naturally, it attracted the attention of the Hebei Army.

The scout immediately came to report: "Report to the general, the enemy has led an army of nearly [-], and they have come down from the other side. It is suspected that they are going to attack Hebei!"

The other generals were shocked and said that they should return to aid immediately.

However, Zhao Qi is worthy of being Ling Qian's loyal fan, showing an expression of wisdom in his hands: "Everyone, don't panic!"

"A military adviser is exhaustive and has insight into people's hearts. His judgment will not be wrong!"

"Pei Xingyan is suspicious by nature, and he never dares to attack the south side rashly!"

"His purpose this time must be to test!"

"The general has already seen through his scheme at a glance!"

"He led an army of [-] down the mountain. Don't you want Tongshan?"

Zhao Qi sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, not flustered at all, and analyzed in a deep voice: "At this time, we should stand still and continue to attack Tongshan!"

"Forcing him to return to aid in turn! I believe it will take half a day. When he finds out that we have not returned to aid Hebei, he must think that the emptiness in the south is our army's strategy..."

"If you are suspicious by nature, you will never dare to act rashly, and you can only be forced to return to Tongshan!"

"So... pass on my military order to continue the onslaught!"

Zhao Qi's analysis is clear and logical.

The generals listened to some truths, but felt that something was not quite right.

The price of this psychological warfare...

Is it too big?
What if the other party is no longer suspicious?
How about directly attacking Hebei?

However, Zhao Qi is not worried about this at all.

In less than half a day, Pei Xingyan will definitely come back to help!

……

Left Tongshan.

Pei Xingyan led an army of [-] troops for more than ten li.

turn out……

There was no reply.

The scouts reported: "General, the enemy army has not returned one by one to help, but is accelerating their attack on Tongshan!"

Pei Xingyan: "..."

He is speechless.

For this kind of credit, he was a little embarrassed.

Bullying the opponent like this is simply invincible.

What's the difference between this and a freebie?
"A military advisor is worthy of being a military advisor. Although he has retired, his poisonous plan is still there. It really hurts people a lot!"

Ling Qian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Since Taiyuan was recovered.

Ling Qian then hid his achievements and fame deeply.

Returned to Henan.

Because he was worried that his reputation as a poisoner would be too big...

Xu Mu decided to let him retire secretly first.

If it's too loud...

I'm afraid it will attract the assassination of many people.

For example, Dou Jiande.

For example, the group of people on the Turkic grasslands.

After all, he made them miserable.

that's it……

Pei Xingyan ordered a rapid march.

Since they all gave it away for nothing, of course he couldn't be polite.

The [-] army rushed towards Hebei at high speed.

……

After half a day.

At the foot of Tongshan.

Zhao Qi still failed to capture Tongshan.

The scouts also sent back the latest battle report of Pei Xingyan's [-] troops.

"Is it true that Pei Xingyan's army has turned back to help?"

Zhao Qi showed an expression that I knew all the tricks.

The scout lowered his head and said cautiously: "General Hui... Hebei has already fallen to two cities. Pei Xingyan seems to be addicted and is attacking the third..."

After listening.

Zhao Qi was taken aback.

Immediately spurt out a mouthful of blood.

"How could this be? Didn't the military adviser say that he was suspicious by nature?"

"I deliberately exposed such a big flaw, how dare he attack directly?"

"What's the problem? Could it be that the enemy general is not Pei Xingyan?"

Zhao Qi clenched his teeth and kept asking questions.

He sat down and all the generals bowed their heads.

His expression was very complicated.

Losing the city this time...

It's so easy to lose.

Fortunately, it has nothing to do with them.

They have been advised many times.

But Zhao Qi insisted on going his own way and didn't listen at all.

At this time, Zhao Qi was still doubting his life.

Constantly reflect on what link went wrong.

"Could it be that this general's strategy is not thorough enough? No, in order to make Pei Xingyan suspicious, this general withdrew most of the troops in the south, and only a few hundred people defended each city..."

He muttered, spouting a few mouthfuls of blood from time to time, the scene was very spectacular.

"General, the top priority is to quickly withdraw troops, return to Hebei, and stop losses in time!"

In the end, several generals really couldn't stand it anymore, Shen Sheng suggested.

Zhao Qi's eyes lit up, as if grasping some life-saving straw, he gritted his teeth: "No!"

"At this time, there is absolutely no way to return!"
