The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 344 Who is the Ming Lord?
Li Shimin added "Fang Mou Duan", this is the most powerful God of War combination in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties. The splendor of the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years was achieved by this combination of God of War. Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, what Luo Yi, Du Fuwei, Xiao Xian, Xue Ju and his son, Li Gui, including the later Handong King Liu Heita and the arrogant Turks and other Hu Yi, these great people are all nothing to worry about!

However, according to the original historical development, this was seven or eight years later. According to his age, Li Shimin is still a child of twelve or thirteen years old. He should be studying and practicing martial arts at home. Of course he is not well-known, so Yang Yong said this. Naturally, Wei Zheng and Wei Zheng were puzzled, and both looked at Yang Yong.

Yang Yong saw it, and also realized that what he said was too advanced, without explaining it, he smiled lightly and said: "Oh, it's nothing, these are all legends. What this king means is that Dou Jiande is the one who is in a hurry now and we are not in a hurry. Because we succeeded in besieging Wei and saving Zhao, the siege of Luoyang was resolved, all our lost land was recovered, and several prefectures and counties of Laodou were occupied. To take a step back, we now give up Mingzhou and Wei counties to Laodou. We’ve already made money, so why are we in a hurry? Right now, we need to guard Mingzhou well, and we’ll kill him for a while before we talk about it.”

The two of them knew that their lord sometimes spoke and acted hard to understand, so they didn't ask too many questions.After the three people agreed, Yang Yong asked Wei Zheng to lead an army of 20 to defend Mingzhou with general Luo Shixin, and then lead an army of [-] with Li Jing, Pei Xingyan, Wu Tianxi, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Gao Shida, and his three beautiful wives. Chen Bing, on the south bank of Mingshui, put on a stance that he wanted to strike first.

What needs to be explained is that Mingshui is not a big river. Even in the current spring flood season, the river is only tens of meters wide, and the deepest part of the river is no more than five meters. In many places, you can even wade across the river.Mingshui cannot be said to have a long history, and the distance from the source to other rivers is only a few hundred miles.It's spring, and the water and grass on both sides of the strait are lush, green trees and red flowers, and the scenery is picturesque, but now this place is about to become a battlefield for killing people.

Standing in their respective camps, across the river, the soldiers of both sides can hear each other's shouts, and even see their true colors.As far as the vertical distance is concerned, the distance between Yang Yong's barracks and Dou Jiande's barracks is almost the same as the usual battle field.

Dou Jiande and his personal guards stood at a hidden high place on the river bank, peeking into Yang Yong's camp on the opposite bank, and seeing Yang Yong commanding the soldiers busy arranging troops, he wished he could swallow Yang Yong alive. Compared with the size of his own army, the size of Yong's army formation is nothing, and he couldn't help feeling proud again.

After he inspected the terrain, he couldn't wait to arrange 50 horses and horses in a circular formation with cavalry on both sides. In front of the infantry is still the cavalry, commanded by Dong Kangmai, a general who is good at riding and shooting, and he and Gao Yaxian command the infantry behind the middle.

Dou Jiande is worthy of being a master. This formation is undoubtedly very practical. It can be said that he can attack when he advances, and he can defend when he retreats.

But Yang Yong didn't attack at all. Although his men and horses formed the formation, Yang Yong immediately stood on the high slope on the opposite bank, watching Dou Jiande's formation with joy.

After Dou Jiande clothed him with the pockets, Yang Yong ordered his soldiers to get ready, and then he shouted loudly to the opposite bank: "Old Dou, are you ready? This king is about to attack, and send your men and horses away in a while." Get the fuck out of here, don't say I'm going to fight without announcing, the victory is unarmed!"

Dou Jiande's nose became distorted when he heard this, and he scolded Yang Yong on the other side, but Yang Yong remained indifferent despite thunder and rain.

Dou Jiande finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted an order: "Brothers in the army, recapture Mingzhou, rush to me! Whoever captures and kills Yang Yong will be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels!" The order fell like a mountain, and 50 soldiers and horses were divided into three groups from the left, middle and right. The road, from the shallow water that had been detected a long time ago, went down the river with a splash, and the waves splashed violently, screaming and rushing to the opposite bank like mountains and seas.

Yang Yong saw that Dou Jiande was serious, and gave an order, "Get out!" Pulling the horses aside, the front team became the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, and Li Jing and Li Jing led 20 horses and ran away.

By the time Dou Jiande's troops rushed across Mingshui, Yang Yong's troops had already run two miles upstream along the river bank.Dou Jiande was furious, and commanded the army to chase after him with a crushing advantage.After chasing for a few miles, the general Gao Yaxian stopped him and said: "My lord, Li Jing and Yang Yong are full of tricks, don't fall into their tricks to lure the enemy."

As soon as Dou Jiande heard it was reasonable, he quickly ordered his troops to stop the pursuit. When his 50 horses stopped, and they were breathing evenly, Yang Yong's troops appeared on the other side of Mingshui.Yang Yong raised his gun and immediately shouted at Dou Jiande's team: "Hey, Dou, this king is here! It's not that this king is afraid of you, but that the river is too narrow for the soldiers to use. The terrain here is wide and flat. , just suitable for war, do you dare to let the horse come over and have a showdown with Lao Tzu!"

Dou Jiande and his soldiers were so angry that their eyes were burning with anger. Just as they were about to dive down the river and charge over, Gao Yaxian said: "My lord, Yang Yong is clearly trying to fight us, we can't be led by him. Here is Li Ming The state is only tens of miles away, we should send a group of people to attack Mingshui, and leave the main force here to wait for him, so that he will definitely come to a decisive battle with us, and we will have the initiative in this battle."

Dou Jiande deeply believed that, considering Li Jing's resourcefulness, Mingzhou City must have been on guard for a long time, and ordinary generals would not be able to handle this important task, so Dou Jiande discussed with Gao Yaxian and decided to let the rising star Su Dingfang lead the troops there.

Su Dingfang, who had already planned in his heart, agreed when the opportunity came, and left Mingshui with 10 horses and drove to Mingzhou in a mighty way.

After leaving Dou Jiande's camp, scenes of Dou Jiande's cruelty and the tragic death of poor people appeared in Su Dingfang's mind. Influenced by his family since he was a child, the ideology of General Baomingzhu was deeply rooted in his mind. The opportunity before him finally came. It's better to pull these 10 people to abandon Dou Jiande and go to Mingzhu!

"But who is the Ming Lord?" Su Dingfang sat on the horse, thinking about this question while walking.Right now the world is in chaos, all heroes are rising together, all are expanding their power and seeking supremacy, even the notorious treacherous minister Yu Wenhuaji once advertised himself as the Ming Lord.Dou Jiande is famous as a hero, and he voted for it, but in the end, he is also a cruel and inhuman tyrant, who else can he trust?Luo Yi who is entrenched in Youzhou?Li Yuan, who took the emperor to order the princes?Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty?Li Gui who retreated to Hexi?Liu Wuzhou who fled to Turkic?Or the heroes Li Zitong, Du Fuwei, Xiao Xian and others who have risen in the Jianghuai area?
Su Dingfang thinks about it and thinks that everyone is a wise master, but when he thinks about it again, he thinks that everyone is like Dou Jiande, wearing the cloak of a wise master, doing the business of the common people.As for Yang Yong who was close at hand, Su Dingfang didn't consider it at all.

No wonder Su Dingfang is ignorant and self-righteous.It's because of Yang Yong's bad background. Although he used to be the prince of a dynasty, now he is a strong soldier and a strong horse, and he is hailed as the king of righteousness and bravery.But he has the blood of the royal family of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Guang is so stupid and cruel that he is called "the king of six shorts". Is it Mingzhu?
