Of course, Wen Shimao has not been idle these days. He mainly did two things: First, he was dealing with Liu Mian and using a cavalry from Hedong to plagiarize Yang Hao's retreat. W     w W      .

81zW.

CoM Liu Pan captured Xia Sui and Bining within half a month, and the world was shocked. Liu Mian was not a blind man and deaf man, and he could not pretend not to hear him. He was determined to copy Yang Hao's retreat, but was afraid that he would not die of a tiger, but instead was eaten by the tiger. He was even more afraid that his own family would fight and let others get a advantage. With such concerns, he could only watch the wall.

Now Wen Shimao has taken the initiative to plagiarize Yang Hao's retreat through the way, and he is very eager to do so, but he also has his concerns. It is okay to plunder the way, but there are not too many soldiers entering my Hedong. It is easy to ask God to send him to God, so don't throw yourself into it. Not only can you not have too many soldiers in your Shen Ce army, but you have to be under my surveillance after entering my territory.

After some bargaining, Liu Mian finally agreed to the 7,000 people from the second division of Wen Shimao, Jiang Yule's army, to use Hedong to sneak attack Linzhou. Wen Shimao naturally had his considerations when choosing Linzhou.

The second thing Wen Shimao did was to lead tens of thousands of troops into the dense forests of Chongshan. His target was Suizhou. As long as he captured Suizhou, it would be equivalent to cutting off the retreat of Liu Pan and Zheng Huatai. At that time, the main force of the Shence Army would attack the three cities of Binning from the east and west sides, and give him a close door and a dog to kill the mountains and rivers.

Almost all the generals opposed him leading troops to Suizhou in person, but Wen Shimao was completely out of his mind and everyone could do nothing. Wen Shimao was already in his sixties and had long lost the victorious and cruel spirit of young people. He had his own difficulties in doing so. The Shence Army was not a monolithic part, and each unit was in charge of his own leadership, which was far from being the commander-in-chief of the Left Army. Even if Qiu Shiliang gave him the token of the army to coordinate with the army, he could not withstand the perverse disobedience of each unit.

For the sake of the present, only by putting himself to death can the army work together under Qiu Shiliang's coordination. He believed that he had some weight in Qiu Shiliang's mind. Who else could force him to move his attention from the Ming Palace to the northwest, a battlefield that determines the life and death of the Shence Army.

After walking through the mountains and valleys for half a month, an army similar to beggars suddenly appeared under the city of Suizhou. The remaining general in Suizhou was Wu Cao's younger brother Wuxiang. He was a mediocre person. His only usefulness was that he obeyed Wu Cao's words and was loyal. Wu Cao liked to use such people, without having to be smart enough, being obedient is enough.

This army of beggars with 30,000 people suddenly appeared at the city of Suizhou. Wuxiang was panicked for a moment and was at a loss. When Wen Shimao sent an envoy to enter the city with Wu Cao's warrant and asked him to open the door and let him go, he asked Mubin in panic: "What should I do?" Mubin carefully looked at the war and asked the envoy: "Is this really the command of the commander?" The envoy said: "How can you let go of a joke in the military? Your general has already made an agreement with Wen Gong. Once the war begins, he will take the opportunity to offer the city. Now he is undercover in the thief camp. You are just going to show your loyalty. You can leave a way out for General Wu in the future."

Wuxiang said, "What if you are defeated?" The envoy sneered, "The general said that it was the city that I had broken. There were only two thousand defenders in your city, and I had 30,000. Isn't it reasonable to destroy your city?" Wuxiang heard this, read the warrant twice, and ordered the city gate to be opened. Wen Shimao's army entered the city late at night, and there was no sound of wind for several days. When the spies from Neijifang found that Suizhou City had fallen into Wen Shimao's hands, everything seemed too late.

Wen Shimao raised a banner of recruiting envoys in the northwest in Suizhou and announced that he would attack the Khitan Wuwei tribe who invaded the northwest. After regaining Suizhou, he took advantage of the opportunity of Khitan's main force going south and the troops behind him were empty, and he successively captured Huaian, Fangqu, Dadiguan and other dangerous passes. On the one hand, he stationed heavily in Hunzhou City, tightened his pockets, and cut off the way for Liu Pan, Zheng Huatai, Meng Ming and Yu Yanlu's troops to retreat north. On the other hand, he sent 10,000 elite troops of the powerful general Wang Fulin to attack Xiao Chang'an and cut off his supplies.

As Wen Shimao expected, this move immediately attracted Qiu Shiliang's attention. He had to devote all his energy to the northwest and pay attention to every move on the battlefield. Under Qiu Shiliang's strict order, the left army units of the Shence were advancing step by step according to the original plan. In the blink of an eye, they besieged about 100,000 Khitan troops that broke into Binning Town in the three cities of Bin, Ning and Qing.

When Yang Hao heard that Wen Shimao was in charge of Suizhou and cut off the retreat route of the army southward, Wang Fulin's troops rushed to Xiao Chang'an, and couldn't help but clapped and laughed: "Good chess, good chess. Wen Shimao is worthy of being the number one general in the world. I have been withered for four years, but it is still too dark." He stood up excitedly and pointed at Zhang Bozhong and said: "Order Zheng Huatai to station in Qingzhou, Liu Pan's troops abandon all the supplies, and take advantage of the fact that the Shence Army's troops have not yet been encircled, and stick to Chang'an. Let Meng Ming's troops go west and attack Jingyuan. If he attacks the city, follow him. It is necessary to restrain the enemy in Guanxi to go north to reinforce. Let Yu Yanlu enter the east, leave Huayuan, go to Huayin and Weinan, open the east gate of Chang'an, release Tongzhou, and the troops from Tongguan enter the pass, stir the water and escort Liu Pan."

After ordering one by one, the Xining Army camp in Yulin could not stay. They packed up overnight and left the city. At noon the next day, the Sixth Division of Wen Shimao's general Gu Duoli occupied Yulin without bloodshed.

Guduoli is a barbaric black man. He was originally the general of the commander-in-chief of the Xining Army. After Yang Hao was captured by the Sui Wohu brothers and sisters, Guduoli killed Yao Meng, destroyed Jinfeng Camp, and rebelled against the Xining Army. He was a thief in Hexi for about a year. Later, due to insufficient supplies, he could not gain a foothold, so he surrendered to Wen Shimao. However, his rude nature was difficult to change. He rebelled several times and was suppressed several times. It was not until the old Weiyuan Camp was torn apart, and he was honestly surrendered.

Shimao made many military achievements under his tent, and gradually won the favor of Wen Shimao. He was about to be the battle flag of the 6th Division that had been sealed for a long time and was rewarded with the talisman. (In the battle of Xiasui in the summer of Kaicheng, Geng Le and his 6th Division were wiped out by Meng Ming in Fuyuan County.) At this moment, although his troops were among the top elites in the Shence Army, they were no longer his original Weiyuan Camp team, but a powerful brigade dominated by infantry and good at mountain combat.

Gu Duoli searched carefully in Yulin and smiled and said, "Ha, Yang Hao has learned his lesson now and runs faster than a rabbit. Unfortunately, he is stupider than a pig. He has been trapped in the desert and has been defeated overnight. He is such an absolute prodigal son." Gu Duoli only rested in Yulin for one night and attacked Youzhou. He wanted to go to Xiaochang'an to get a share of the pie, but Wang Fulin blocked the pass and refused to let him pass, but he had no choice but to let him go to Yuzhou.

Speaking of which, Yang Hao is indeed a waste of money. He lost Yulin less than three days after Suizhou. Yulin was just lost, and Xiazhou was also lost. Then Yuzhou, Xiaochang'an was lost again. Wang Fulin entered the old camp of the Xining Army in Xiaochang'an and expressed his feelings like him. However, unlike Xia, Suicheng had nothing to gain. In the Xining Army camp in Xiaochang'an, there were grain and rice piles up like mountains, and there were thousands of cars of gold, silver and jewelry.

Wang Fulin reported to Wen Shimao and explained the matter. Wen Shimao was muttering: "Yang Hao shouldn't have made such a trick. What tricks are he playing?" After thinking about it, the old man suddenly came back to his senses. He immediately ordered Gu Duoli and Wang Fulin to give up the city and retreat immediately.

Gu Duoli got nothing and retreated quickly, but Wang Fulin was unwilling to do so. Even if he didn't want food, how could he be willing to throw away these thousands of boxes of jewelry? But if he had to bring thousands of boxes of jewelry, the marching would definitely be affected. If he violated the old man's military order, he would be unable to take it. As a last resort, Wang Fulin ordered the jewels he had obtained to be buried on the spot. Because of this, he was half a day later than the original withdrawal time.

This half day changed his destiny, Wen Shimao's destiny, and Qiu Shiliang's destiny.

According to the original plan, General Guduoli and Wang Fulin met at Qiubazhai, 80 miles southeast of Xiazhou City, and joined forces to slowly move south. Because there was a Gobi Desert with a radius of hundreds of miles from Qiubazhai to Suizhou City, marching on this open land was very unfavorable for Guduoli's troops, which were mainly infantry. He had to obtain the wing protection of the First Division.

Gu Duoli looked forward to the stars and the moon, hoping that Wang Fulin would come quickly. Wang Fulin did not come but many Khitans came, with two thousand cavalry. Although these people were wearing banners, they did not look like a regular army, but they looked like an adapted army that had recently joined the Khitans. But Gu Duoli did not dare to act rashly. Outside Qiu Bazhai, there was a flat horse, and infantry and cavalry fought fiercely on the open flat ground, which was a fool.

He comforted his subordinates: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, horses cannot climb up the wall. As long as we stick to the First Division, we are afraid of him as a bird."

Gu Duoli was tough, but her heart was full of energy. The cavalry outside the village was getting more and more distances, and the army was getting more and more neat, almost becoming an encirclement. At dusk, a baggage team began to appear in the cavalry team. They unloaded the siege equipment from the horse and began to debug and install it. These equipment were made very exquisitely, smaller than usual, but it was more than enough to deal with Qiubazhai.

Gu Duoli couldn't sit still, so he changed his words: "Every ministries have prepared. Wait for another half an hour. If General Wang doesn't come yet, we will leave first. So as not to get into the night, let these wolf cubs swallow it."

He said that the withdrawal of troops in one hour was not really waiting for the First Division. He was well aware of the weather, observed the clouds in the sky, and knew that a storm would occur in one hour, and it would be dark and difficult for people to leave or horses to leave. It would greatly weaken the advantages of the cavalry. In addition, his own military strength might be able to withdraw back to Xiasui City. But he didn't know whether Xiazhou City is now an empty city. I am not afraid, even if they have occupied Xiasui and have already taken over Xiasui, they can escape the danger.

Guduoli firmly believes that if they fight mountain wars, the Sixth Division will never be afraid of any powerful troops.

The storm broke out, and the Sixth Division began to retreat. The windy and sandy opposite one meter away could not see clearly. Is this kind of weather suitable for retreat? Gu Duoli sighed in her heart: "God treats me well."

At dusk, the storm stopped. Wang Fulin's 10,000 cavalrymen came to Qiubazhai, but they saw an empty village. Gu Duoli told him in a code that he did not dare to violate the military order because of your failure to make a promise and had retreated to Suizhou alone, asking him not to wait.

Wang Fulin looked at the weather and said to everyone: "The moonlight is good tonight, we have to rush through the road overnight, but we dare not miss the journey."

The First Division stepped into the Gobi Desert in a radius of 100 miles. They never walked out of the Gobi Desert. Three days later, the scouts of Suizhou City found them, and more than 10,000 corpses stretched for more than ten miles. They were attacked in the center of the desert. After a fierce battle, Wang Fulin ordered a breakout towards Suizhou, but the enemy pursued them closely and finally killed the last man more than ten miles away. The scouts did not dare to stop and hurriedly brought back the news of the destruction of the First Division.

On the same day, news of the destruction of the 8,000 Guduoli's army also reached Suizhou. The 6th Division was besieged by superior cavalry on a beach 18 miles away from Xiasui and was wiped out by all the troops. The main general Guduoli was seriously injured and captured, and his hands and feet were broken, tied to a wooden stake. The muscles of the limbs were scraped away by a knife, revealing the thick white bones. He died of starvation in the cold wind.

The destruction of the two divisions was like Wen Shimao who threw blood and cried with two heavy punches. He saw the opponent's chess path, but he could not command his chess pieces. He played the chess all his life, but he never lost so cowardly.

But Wen Shimao was a veteran of his life, and he was sad but not confused. He reduced the troops of the remaining three divisions to a narrow area with Suizhou, Hunzhou, Huaian and Fangqu as the bases, supporting each other and defending as the attack. It was like a barrier to block the enemy from the north and the south, and determined to waste it with Yang Hao to the end.

Yang Hao was indeed a little overwhelmed. He tried his best to break Wen Shimao's two sharp arrows, and he was also seriously injured. The main Xining army lost all its losses. He had no choice but to use his last killer weapon: Dingbei Army, who was the one who was driving the Dazhi Er, went south to help the battle.

Dazhi Er's position in Dashi City not only shocked the grassland troops in Mobei, but also focused on Liu Mian, Hedong. Therefore, at the beginning, Yang Hao did not intend to dispatch the Dingbei Army to fight south. In addition, Yang Hao had another concern: Dingbei Army was a grassland tribe army, mainly cavalry, and went south to siege, which was not their strength; and because Dazhi Er expanded his army too quickly, the components in the army were too complex, it was simply a mixture of fish and dragons, mud and sand, and the differences in military disciplines were difficult to satisfy. Thinking of the past, because Yang Hao had turned to the five barbarians to fight against Liu Desan of Hedong, Yang Hao had turned to the five barbarians to fight bravely, but the disaster was very severe, and wherever he passed was scorched earth. Yang Hao thought that if the Dingbei Army went south, the disaster would be no less than the five barbarians who were originally.

But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Wen Shimao took a good move and took a bad move. Now he can only release this grassland wolf to fight the Guanzhong tiger.

Under Qiu Shiliang's strict order, the Shence Army troops gathered about 200,000 people, gathered together in the three prefectures of Binning and the two prefectures of Binning and Binning and fell one after another. Qingzhou City was also surrounded and the troops were in a hurry and brought not many siege equipment. However, there were trees outside Qingzhou City, so it was only a matter of time to build siege equipment.

Zheng Huatai's 20,000 people were surrounded by the city and could not move. Yang Hao was anxious and wanted to send an order to Liu Pan, Meng Ming and Yu Yanlu that they could cut off the grain road from Guanzhong to Bining at all costs. Once the grain road was cut off, the 200,000 troops would collapse without fighting.

Zhang Bozhong advised: "The military situation changes greatly. The commander is commanding thousands of miles apart. I'm afraid it's inappropriate. The three generals are veterans who have experienced a lot of battles. They should know the importance of the general. The commander can wait for good news. Instead, it's the military discipline of the Northern Army..."

When Yang Hao heard him mention military discipline, he waved his hand and said, "What else can I do? Let them harm them. If there is no such thing as disaster, they will naturally be willing to go back."

Zhang Bozhong was helpless when he heard this.
