With the passage of time, the speed of cleaning up the wreck became faster and faster, and it was just beginning. Chen Ying's fleet could not travel ten or twenty miles a day, but now it can basically resume the speed of traveling hundreds of miles a day.

Just when Chen Ying's troops were about to arrive in Shuiye Town, Xiangzhou, Chen Ying got a piece of news unexpectedly.The Shangshu Zuo Pushe of the Hebei Dao of the Tang Dynasty, the comforter of the Shandong Dao, Li Shentong, the King of Huai'an, the General Zuo Wuhou of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shiji, the Duke of Cao, and Li Yuan's sister, Princess Tong'an, were guarded by more than [-] people led by a small school led by Dou Jiande , and join Chen Ying.

Chen Ying really couldn't figure it out, whether it is Li Shiji or Li Shentong, they are not too important, they can't interfere with the Tang Dynasty's court movements, at least they are not light hostages, why did Dou Jiande release them back, and also No strings attached.

Li Shentong shook his head and said: "General Chen's words are wrong, Lord Xia is not without conditions!"

"What conditions does Dou Jiande have?" Chen Ying asked in surprise.

But Li Shiji said: "Master Xia said that if the two countries go to war, the disaster will not be as bad as their wives and children!"

"Although Chen Ying has no intention of taking credit for the orphans and widowed mothers, Mingzhou still wants to fight!" Chen Ying said solemnly: "Everyone does not know that the Turkic Jieli Khan is now leading more than [-] cavalry. Still going south, although the direction and purpose of the Turkic cavalry going south is unknown, but as we all know, my Tang Dynasty must bear the brunt of it. Now, the only way to end this meaningless war as soon as possible is to gather the strength of the whole world and fight the Turks. "

Li Shiji said in surprise: "Why would the Turks send troops at this time? It doesn't make sense!"

Chen Ying explained: "I don't know the specific reason. However, this war must be ended as soon as possible, otherwise the country will be destroyed. For the sake of the common people in the world and the country of China, we must not be careless, let alone lose!"

"That's true!" Li Shentong, King of Huai'an, said with a slight smile, "Thanks to the Lord Xia's grace of not killing, if the Queen and Princess Xia are captured, even if I give up my old face, I will ask for a favor for them!"

Chen Ying couldn't deny it with a smile and said: "The King of Huai'an knows that he will repay his kindness, and he really believes in people!"

Li Shiji looked at Chen Ying and said, "Shiji has an unsolicited request, and I ask General Chen to fulfill it!"

"Oh!" Chen Ying asked in puzzlement, "General Li, but it's okay to say!"

Li Shiji said: "Liyang City was lost in the hands of Li, as the saying goes, where you fall, you can get up from there!"

Chen Yingdao: "You want to take back Li Yang?"

"That's right!" Li Shiji nodded and said, "Li wants to borrow troops from General Chen. You don't need too many troops, 5000 is fine!"

Chen Ying murmured, "Although Liu Ya's troops in Liyang Xia's army only have 5000 old, weak, and sick, if they defend the city, it may not be easy for [-] troops to take back Liyang. , How about this, I will transfer the four zhechong mansions led by You Siyu, the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, to you, and I will give you three thousand civilian husbands, making up the total of ten thousand."

Li Shiji said happily: "Thank you so much, General Chen. If you need Li in the future, please give orders to General Chen!"

"What you said is too far-fetched, you and I are ministers in the same palace, why should we divide each other!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Soldiers are precious, and things should not be delayed!"

Immediately, Chen Ying issued an order, ordering Gao Yunquan to be the deputy general and assigned to Li Shiji's command.

Li Yang's position is actually very important, but after Luzhou fell, Li Yang became a bit weak.If Little Luzhou is still in the hands of Datang, then Li Yang will be an important throat area to guard Hebei.But with the fall of Luzhou, there is no way to block all Xia's troops in Hebei.Hebei can go all the way west from Xiangzhou, pass through Linli and Huguan, and then reach Luzhou, which is closer than passing through Liyang.

It's just that Chen Ying was too lazy to waste time in Liyang, firstly, Chen Ying's magic weapon to break through the level was fierce fire oil (actually refined gasoline), and secondly, poisonous smoke.The key point is that Liyang is different from Yanmen Pass and Hangu Pass. This is not a simple military fortress. For a military fortress, it is harmless to use any means, but Liyang City is a comprehensive city, and there are many people inside. Or poisonous smoke, will harm the innocent.

Since Li Shiji is willing to attack Li Yang, Chen Ying is also happy.

……

In Jinzhou, Xia Guo Dou Jiande is here temporarily.Although Dou Jiande tried his best to block the news, Li Jiancheng would not just sit idly by. Under the circumstances of spreading rumors carefully, the generals of the Xia army inevitably learned the news that Chen Ying's army had attacked Mingzhou.Ling Jing said to Dou Jiande with a wry smile: "Chen Ying is really a difficult opponent, and he gave us another surprise. Now our morale is almost gone, even if we win the three towns of Jinnan, the joy of victory will be wiped out in an instant. gone."

Dou Jiande's expression was also very depressed.He played a good game of chess. When Wang Xiaohu went north from Luzhou, Cao Zhan went west from Huizhou, he was on Yizhong Road, and went north along Jinzhou. Take it down.However, at this critical moment, Chen Ying threatened Mingzhou.

As the capital of a country, the symbolic significance is greater than the actual significance.At this time, Dou Jiande really regretted it. If he hadn't moved the capital from Leshou to Mingzhou, he wouldn't have been so passive.

Dou Jiande smiled wryly and said: "The situation is very unfavorable now. The soldiers are petitioning to return to Hebei almost all the time, but this time it is easy to return to Hebei, and it may be difficult to return to Hedong again."

Ling Jing sighed and said: "The wishes of the officers and men can't be ignored, let's do our best, order General Wang to lead from Luzhou to help Xiangzhou, if he can defend Xiangzhou, he can guarantee the safety of Mingzhou!"

Dou Jiande finally had to accept this reality, and ordered Wang Xiaohu to return to aid Xiangzhou in the direction of a fast ride of eight hundred miles.

Wang Xiaohu was surprisingly efficient, and it took only one night to complete the deployment. He hastily led his troops, which had swelled to almost 10 horses, and marched all the way to Xiangzhou.

On the way, Wang Xiaohu's troops were running non-stop, but when he hurried to Xiangzhou, he found that Dong Kangmai told him the shocking news that Chen Ying had already arrived at Shuiye, and the rear guard had also passed Zhangqiu.

Hurry up, it's too late.

From Luzhou to Xiangzhou, it is a full five hundred miles.It took Wang Xiaohu three days to come here. They were not cavalry, but infantry. The road along the way was not a good one, and they had to climb over a Taihang Mountain.

In Shuiye Town, on board Chen Ying's Wan'an flagship, Feng Li took the information that Chen Ying had just handed to him, and asked in disbelief:

"how can that be?"

Feng Li became the captain of Yingyang Mansion in the Sui Dynasty when he was 17 years old. It is very difficult to understand.If you give him an elite soldier, it is not particularly difficult to force [-] miles in three days; but if you give him a recruit who has not experienced the test of blood and fire, such an intensity of forced march, the recruit will be directly on the verge of collapse.

When Chen Ying received the news that Wang Xiaohu's army came to help from Luzhou, he was as surprised as Feng Li's performance.If Dou Jiande really has such an elite army hidden in his hands, it seems that Mingzhou is really not that easy to attack.But after thinking about it, Chen Ying felt that it was not very strong. In history, Li Shimin didn't use black cavalry to defeat Dou Jiande's [-] troops.

At this moment, Guo Luo looked very strange.

Chen Ying asked: "Is there any hidden secret here?"

Five hundred miles of mountain road in three days, not to mention soldiers and horses of this era, even professional soldiers of later generations, running down fully armed, I am afraid it is impossible to do it.

Guo Luo whispered in Chen Ying's ear: "My lord, there is nothing miraculous about it. Wang Xiaohu led an army of 8000 people from Luzhou to advance lightly. When he arrived in Xiangzhou, he had only less than [-] people around him, and they fell behind one after another along the way. Without three or five days of effort, he couldn't gather the troops together."

Chen Ying laughed out loud after hearing this, secretly laughing that Wang Xiaohu is really a wonderful person.

Are such reinforcements useful?

Five hundred miles in three days, and there are still untrained recruits. Even if they grit their teeth and insist on running the whole distance, I am afraid that these soldiers will be useless, and there is no way for them to be of great use in a short time.

Dong Kangmai and Wang Xiaohu combined, Dong Kangmai still has more than [-] troops, and Wang Xiaohu has more than [-] troops, but these troops, the one who can really fight Chen Ying is only Dong Kangmai. Of the more than [-] troops under Wang Xiaohu's command, the more than [-] trilogy under Wang Xiaohu's command now tremble with chopsticks, let alone tear them to death with knives.

Wang Xiaohu smiled wryly and said: "This battle is impossible to fight, fighting is to give away the head!"

Chen Ying was like a devil in the hearts of the generals of the Xia army. He was only famous for the power of the hooked and sickle cavalry under his command, but the Modao army under his command was a lingering nightmare in their hearts.

Dong Kangmai gritted his teeth and shouted: "If you can't fight, you have to fight. We are the only reinforcements in Xiaguo Mingzhou. Even if we climb, we will climb to Mingzhou!"

In order to win the Central Plains, Dou Jiande tried his best to overdraw the vitality of Hebei. Although there were more than [-] people in Mingzhou City at this time, almost [-]% of these people were the family members of civil and military officials or generals in the army. Daughter country.

Even if Song Zhengben wanted to arm the people of the city to guard the city, Song Zhengben counted 15-year-old boys, and he couldn't even recruit 5000 people.The most important thing is that it is useless even if the people can be recruited young and strong. After all, the Xia Kingdom is no better than the Tang Dynasty. His general is Song Junchen, the only son of former Sui Huyalang General Song Laosheng.

But this Song Junchen is just a typical tiger father dog, let him act as an embroidered pillow, and he still looks like a general, if he really fights, he can't really do it.

Wang Xiaohu yelled with red eyes: "Fight it, the dead bird will face up!"

PS: There will be more later, today is the third change, ask for a monthly pass, it will be invalid at the end of the month!

Wang Xiaohu has a very good personal relationship with Dou Jiande, because he knows his old sister-in-law Cao's temper, the more he will not leave at this time.When it was decided to fight to the death, Wang Xiaohu called his own soldiers, and he dictated a letter in his own hand: "My son, I am your father. When you see this letter, immediately bring your family soldiers and rush Enter the palace, protect the queen and princess, and protect them to meet your Uncle Liu."

Uncle Liu is Liu Heita.
