    Dou Jiande's general Wang Fubao defeated the many with less, the weak defeated the strong, and defeated Qin Qiong, one of the few first-line generals under Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang and the Sui army in Guanzhong were certainly shocked when they received this news.  But the Taiyuan Army was actually even more shocked, especially Li Jiancheng and the Li brothers who knew the details of the Sui Army. After hearing the news, they even shouted in unison, "How is it possible? How could Dou Jiande's army be so capable of fighting?"  " After being shocked, after carefully understanding the battle, the Li brothers discovered that it was not that the soldiers of Dou Jiande's army were all invincible supermen, but that the general Wang Fubao sent by Dou Jiande was both brave and strategic, and used his troops well and skillfully.  He caught the Sui Army's mentality of underestimating the enemy after winning consecutive battles in Guanzhong, and captured the Sui Army's relaxed mentality before dawn, and then used disguises and noise to confuse the Sui Army camp. Only then did he create a big miracle, and the defeat became famous for many years.  Qin Qiong, a famous Sui general.  Then, Li Jiancheng and Li Er inevitably had an extremely regretful thought at the same time, "Why is this Wang Fubao not my general?" It was useless to regret, not to mention that Wang Fubao was famously loyal to Dou Jiande, even if  Wang Fubao took the initiative to request surrender, and the Li brothers who were currently begging Dou Jiande absolutely did not dare to take him in. Therefore, after discussion, the Li brothers could only send Ren Yu south with a heavy gift to thank Wang Fubao, and at the same time build friendship with Wang Fubao first.  , while asking Wang Fubao to continue his efforts and join forces with Yin Kaishan to capture Linfen City as soon as possible where the Sui army was hoarding grain and military supplies, completely disrupting Chen Sangliang's Northern Expedition plan.  Ren Xuan, who excitedly came to Yang County to meet Wang Fubao, soon found that his hot face was on his cold buttocks. The generous gift he sent on behalf of the Li brothers was distributed to his subordinates on the spot by Wang Fubao without leaving any money.  Among the soldiers, Wang Fubao's attitude towards building friendships was neither salty nor cool, and he was not willing to be at all friendly with Ren Yu.  When Ren Yu asked Wang Fubao to take advantage of the opportunity to capture Linfen City on behalf of the Li brothers, Wang Fubao directly asked: "Take advantage of the opportunity to capture Linfen City? How to do it? Linfen originally had more than 7,000 Chen thieves defending the city, and Qin Qiong led another 6,000  Many of the defeated soldiers fled back to Linfen City. The strength of the rebels defending the city is not much different from ours. How can we attack? " "No wonder I heard that Wang Fubao is not popular under Dou Jiande's camp. He really can't speak."  He muttered something, and then said with a flattering smile: "Of course you have to ask General Wang to take care of this. General Wang used three hundred warriors to defeat the bandit army of ten thousand people. Naturally, he would have a way to defeat more with less and capture Linfen City in one fell swoop. Our army  The two governors on the left and right also said that with your brave strategy, general, it will be easy to conquer the small city of Linfen. " "The two governors are so complimentary, Fu Bao is unworthy of it," Wang Fubao said after pushing back Ren Yu's ecstasy soup.  : "If the two governors want our army to take Linfen, then there is no way out. If your army can put more pressure on the rebel army in Huoyi and force the rebel army commander Liu Heitai to mobilize the army to go north for reinforcements, then our army will take the opportunity.  If we attack it, there is hope that we can capture Linfen. Or if your army can capture Huoyi City as soon as possible and the main force goes south to attack the city together, then there is also hope. Otherwise, there is really no way to defeat Fubao.  City." No matter how good at communication Ren You was, his face looked a little ugly at this time, but Wang Fubao refused and asked Ren You: "Mr. Ren, the main force of your army is more than 30,000 people attacking Huoyi City. How is the current situation?  "Capture Huoyi in the near future?" After hesitating for a moment, Ren Youcai reluctantly replied: "It will be difficult in a short time. Liu Heita is good at using troops and always holds on to the city. Huoyi is surrounded by water on two sides and has high trenches."  , Our army failed to succeed in several strong attacks. On the contrary, it paid a considerable price. " "Liu Heita's purpose is obvious, even if he suffers heavy losses, it will consume a lot of your strength. This is your army.  Haven't you seen it yet?" Wang Fubao said even more rudely: "The overall strength of your army is not as good as that of Chen Thief. It should try to avoid a stalemate war of attrition. Why didn't you think of retreating to Queshu Valley?  Also drag him into the Linfen battlefield?" Hearing this, Ren Xuan almost had the urge to walk away, but considering the current situation, Ren Xuan still suppressed his unhappiness and said with a smile: "To be fair to the general, in fact  Our left and right governors had already seen through Liu Heita's sinister intentions, but at that time we slightly underestimated Liu Heita's men and felt that it would not be a big problem to capture a small town in Huoyi with our main force, so we went south and launched an siege.  I just didn't expect that we made the mistake of underestimating the enemy and were dragged into a war of attrition by Liu Heitai. " Wang Fubao is indeed not naturally annoying, nor does he have any malicious hostility towards the Li brothers who are strangers to him.  The rude words were just to vent his anger at being forced by Dou Jiande and his colleagues to march into the quagmire of Linfen. Seeing that Ren You recognized each other again and again and honestly admitted his mistake, Wang Fubao's anger was almost gone.  So after some more calculations, Wang Fubao slowed down and said, "Mr. Ren, Linfen City is a county seat. The city is much stronger than an ordinary county seat. The Chen bandits' army is heavily stationed in the city. There is little hope for our army to succeed in a strong attack."??Your army wants to join hands with our army to resist the upcoming attack by the main force of the Chen thieves. There is no way out. I have a suggestion. What do you think of it?  " "If General Wang has any clever ideas, please tell me quickly.  "Ren Hao quickly replied. "I think we should avoid strong points and make use of weak points, and plan ahead.  Wang Fubao replied: "The main force of your army can continue to attack Huoyi, and use all your strength to capture Huoyi and build a defense line."  Our army, on the other hand, avoided the fortified city of Linfen and attacked Xiangling and Jishi counties. During this period, it would be best if we could induce the Linfen rebels to send troops to rescue them. If the rebels just sit back and watch the two counties fall, then our army will seize the grain and crops of the two counties.  Concentrate in Yueyang City and base on Yueyang for the long term.  Afterwards, if the main force of your army has captured Huoyi, then we will jointly attack Linfen to seize the Chen thief's food and grass, and then fight against the main force of the Chen thief; if your army cannot capture Huoyi, then our army can also threaten the flanks of the main force of the Chen thief in Yueyang.  , so that the main force of the Chen thief does not dare to move north in a large scale. At that time, whether your army retreats to Queshu Valley or meets the main force of the Chen thief on the spot, it will be much easier.  " Ren Yu's expression turned very ugly again, because although Wang Fubao's proposal did not take advantage of the Taiyuan Army, it also prevented the Taiyuan Army from taking any advantage of Dou Jiande's army. If Wang Fubao's proposal was followed, by then  Even if Wang Fubao couldn't withstand the attack of the main force of the Sui army, he could calmly retreat to Shangdang to protect himself, which made the Li brothers' dream of completely dragging Dou Jiande's army into the Linfen quagmire completely shattered. So Ren Yu sobbed for a long time before saying vaguely:  "The general has a great idea, but the matter is serious and the envoy dare not make the decision without authorization. He must ask the two governors for instructions.  " "Then please ask for instructions, sir.  Wang Fubao waved his hand and said: "Our army will attack according to this strategy first. Tomorrow our army will attack Xiangling to seize grain and transport it to Yueyang to stockpile."  The enemy is currently facing us. Fu Bao still has to inspect the camp, so I won't accompany my husband. Someone will come and see the guests off for me.  " Leaving Wang Fubao's camp with full of anger, Ren You could only quickly return to the Huoyi battlefield to report the situation to the Li brothers. As a result, the Li brothers also complained when they heard about it. They all said that Wang Fubao was so shameless and could not get the slightest advantage.  Not allowed to be occupied by the army? After further discussion, the Li brothers, who were determined to cut off a few pieces of fat from the kind-hearted man Dou Jiande, quickly sent an envoy to go directly to the Shangdang to complain to Dou Jiande.  Dou Jiande forced Wang Fubao to attack Linfen City, and also tried to get Dou Jiande to order Wang Fubao to accept the command of his army. Wang Fubao was a man of his word. Early the next morning, he actually led his army south to attack Xiangling City next to Linfen City, and also asked.  Yin Kaishan also followed his army south to help. Yin Kaishan, who had expanded his army to more than 7,000 people by recruiting rebels, gritted his teeth and agreed for the sake of the overall situation of the alliance. However, after the Sui army found out about this situation, he hesitated again and again. Qin Qiong was ordered to reinforce the Linfen battlefield.  Gritting his teeth, he led his headquarters to fight and fought with Dou and Li's coalition forces in the east of Linfen. Qin Qiong slapped his horse, raised his gun and yelled, and directly challenged Wang Fubao by name. Wang Fubao did not hesitate to fight Qin Qiong in person.  After the battle, Qin Qiong, who had always thought that he had underestimated the enemy, was shocked to find that the little-known Wang Fubao was almost the same as him in martial arts. After more than a hundred rounds, there was no winner or lose. Qin Qiong, who refused to give up, waved his army forward.  After a melee, they found that the soldiers of Dou Army under Wang Fubao were also extremely difficult to deal with. Everyone took the lead bravely on the battlefield, and they were equally matched with Qin Qiong's main soldiers. Then, Dang Yin followed.  When Kaishan led the Taiyuan army to attack the flanks of Qin Qiong's rear army in a roundabout way, Qin Qiong, whose military strength had been severely damaged, could no longer resist. He could only accept the second defeat in great depression, and once again fled back to Linfen City to defend himself behind closed doors.  Huo Shiju and Wei Ziqi, who were guarding Linfen, were so frightened that they did not dare to go out to fight. At the same time, they once again sent messengers south to ask for help from Chen Sangliang. After learning about the situation in Linfen, the Li brothers became even more jealous of Dou Jiande for having such a good general under his command.  At the same time, another envoy was sent to congratulate Wang Fubao, and took the opportunity to incite Wang Fubao to attack Linfen City again. Unfortunately, Wang Fubao did not take the sugar-coated bullets of the Li brothers at all, and went his own way and only went to attack the small town of Xiangling. As a result, Linfen did not dare to send troops to rescue anymore.  Because of the attack, Xiangling could not hold on for only half a day. The county magistrate took the lead in abandoning the city and fleeing for his life. Wang Fubao's army successfully captured the city and immediately set out to transport grain to Yueyang to stock up. The Li brothers were hoping that Wang Fubao would fight with the Linfen Sui army.  I hated this so much, but there was nothing I could do about it. Fortunately, I ordered some tofu with brine, and everything was reduced. After Wang Fubao sent two thousand troops to easily capture Jishi City at the southeastern end of Linfen County, just three days later, he had already fought with Li.  Dou Jiande, who had established direct contact with the Li family brothers, sent an urgent order. Although he did not order Wang Fubao to accept the command of the Li brothers, he also sternly ordered Wang Fubao to immediately send troops to attack Linfen City and seize the mountains of grain and military supplies there.  The Li brothers were secretly happy that Master Li, the envoy sent by Dou Jiande, not only accepted the beautiful woman as a gift without ceremony, but also patted his chest and promised that Wang Fubao would be forced to attack Linfen immediately.   It is still a pity that when the civil and military stars of Taiyuan Army such as Yin Kaishan and Ren You gathered Master Li in front of Wang Fubao, Master Li read out Dou Jiande's order in public to force Wang Fubao to join the army, but Wang Fubao still flatly refused.  When he went to attack Linfen, he told Master Li very confidently, "The general is outside, but you don't obey your orders! Your Majesty is far away in the east of Taihang Mountain, and I don't know the specific situation in the west of Taihang. I can't accept that our soldiers will not sacrifice their lives in vain."  This order!" "You! You!" Master Li, who had given the Taiyuan Army his assurance, was so angry that he shouted out after a long time, "You are so bold!  You don¡¯t listen to orders, do you want to rebel?¡± ¡°Of course I don¡¯t want to rebel, I just think about the soldiers,¡± Wang Fubao replied calmly: ¡°I will report the matter to the king in a letter.  "It would be best if Mr. Li can take the letter to the king for me. It doesn't matter if Mr. Li still wants to hang out with women in the friendly army camp. I will send someone else to deliver the letter." "You are talking nonsense!"  Are you hanging out with a woman?" Master Li jumped three feet high.  "Then where does the scent of makeup and powder on your body come from?" Wang Fubao asked calmly, "Also, before saying this, sir, could you please wipe off the lipstick marks (lipstick marks) next to your ears?" Master Li's expression changed.  , when they hurriedly went to smell the clothes and touch the ears, Yin Kaishan and Ren You had also discovered that there was indeed an imperceptible sandalwood lip mark next to the lobe of Master Li's left ear. Surprised by Wang Fubao's attentiveness, Ren You  When He Yin Kaishan rushed to see Wang Fubao, Wang Fubao had already led his soldiers to patrol the camp, leaving Master Li gnashing his teeth in the tent and swearing to make Wang Fubao look good!  Then, a small incident happened when Wang Fubao was patrolling the camp. Unfortunately, a Sui army scout who went out of the city to scout was captured by Wang Fubao's men. When he was escorted to the camp, he happened to run into Wang Fubao who had finished his patrol. Wang Fubao happened to be fine and didn't want to go there anymore.  When Master Li met, he simply interrogated the newly captured prisoner himself and asked him about the situation of the Sui army.  As a result, the Sui army scout was greedy for life and was afraid of death. He asked and answered whatever he asked. He actually told Wang Fubao a lot of Linfen military information, but it was of little value. He didn't even know whether the Linfen Sui army could still fight out of the city. Wang Fubao was disappointed.  He ended the interrogation and ordered the soldiers to treat the prisoner well.  Coincidentally, when the soldiers had just escorted the prisoner and were about to leave, Yin Kaishan and Ren Yu, who could not wait for Wang Fubao's return, happened to take the initiative to say goodbye to Wang Fubao and leave. Seeing Wang Fubao interrogating the prisoner and hearing that the prisoner answered all questions, Ren Yu was busy.  He asked the prisoner: "I have something to ask you. Wasn't it rumored in your army that Liu Heitai wanted to rebel? Is there any follow-up to this matter?" "Return to your lord, Deputy Chief Huo and Prefect Wei have given orders that no more attacks are allowed."  Discuss this rumor, otherwise we will face serious consequences." The prisoner replied truthfully.  "Why?" Ren Yu was stunned and asked in surprise: "How can Huo Shiju and Wei Ziqi trust Liu Heitai so much?" "I heard from Deputy General Manager Huo's soldiers that it was our Highness the Prince of Tang who personally gave the order." Prisoners.  He replied: "Prefect Wei and Deputy Chief Huo wrote to the King of Tang to report this matter, but His Highness the King of Tang did not believe it and said that Marshal Liu would never betray him, and asked the Prefect Wei and the others to strictly prohibit the spread of rumors. By the way, the King of Tang seemed to have said  It doesn¡¯t matter if we lose Yangxian and Yueyang. Marshal Liu ordered the abandonment of these two counties for the sake of the overall situation. We can just get our main force back in the future. There is no need to feel bad.¡±  You can be so trusting!" Ren Xuan cursed, and Yin Kaishan over there also snorted: "Don't trust people, don't trust people. I really underestimated Chen Yingliang, a common man, Liu Heitai was a reduced general and a lone soldier.  Being surrounded, it¡¯s rare that little thief Chen Yingliang doesn¡¯t have any suspicion at all.¡±/p> ¡°How can it be possible that little thief Chen Yingliang doesn¡¯t have any suspicion at all?¡± Ren Yu snorted, ¡°Little thief Chen Yingliang is just pretending to be calm and generous.  In fact, I must have been extremely vigilant for a long time!" "Mr. Ren, General Yin, from your tone, it seems that you are planning to alienate Liu Heitai and Chen Yingliang." Suddenly, people behind Ren You and Yin Kaishan came up.  Master Li's voice came, and then Master Li, who had wiped off the lipstick marks, emerged from the corner and said excitedly: "If this is the case, I can help you."  "Sir, what's your clever idea?" Ren Yu and Yin Kaishan asked curiously. Master Li whispered in the ears of Ren Yu and Yin Kaishan. Then Ren Yu and Yin Kaishan soon became ecstatic and hurriedly invited  Master Li went to the Taiyuan military camp to talk with him. He was so happy that he even forgot to say goodbye to Wang Fubao.  Seeing them leaving happily, Wang Fubao's soldiers beside him were also very curious. They couldn't help but ask Wang Fubao: "General, what did Li Shilang and Ren say? How come those people named Ren can be so happy?"  Like this?¡±??It must be about Liu Heitai and our king.  Wang Fubao replied calmly: "When the news that Liu Heitai was re-employed under Chen Yingliang came to the king, our king once mentioned the matter between him and Liu Heitai. Liu Heitai is a close friend of our king from the same hometown, and the friendship is quite close."  Qian, I heard that I have received a lot of favors from our king.  So our king also said that when the general comes to meet Liu Heitai on the battlefield, he can make Liu Heitai surrender with just a few words.  " "Is there still such a thing?  The soldier was shocked and said hurriedly: "General, why didn't you tell Ren about this before?"  In this case, we might have already surrendered Liu Heitai.  " "Is that that easy?  Wang Fubao smiled and said: "The king said that Liu Heitai was poor when he was young and often relied on him for charity. What is this kindness compared with Chen Yingliang's kindness to Liu Heitai?"  Don¡¯t forget, before Liu Heitai surrendered to Chen Yingliang, he was just a small commander under Hao Xiaode. He could not lead more than a thousand troops, and he had no chance to lead an army alone. When I heard that he was forced by Hao Xiaode to surrender to Chen Yingliang,  Chen Yingliang sent three armies to rescue him, and even went out of the city to greet him personally!  Now, Liu Heitai is the general manager of the Hedong Road march under Chen Yingliang, in charge of the troops and horses of the six counties. He follows the commander's instructions and rules. If you are Liu Heitai, are you willing to betray Chen Yingliang?  " The soldier nodded and said that if he were Liu Heitai, he would really be reluctant to betray Chen Sangliang, who had been reborn through kindness. Wang Fubao smiled again and said, "Besides, Liu Heitai is also a gentleman. I have carefully interrogated him.  Under his subordinates, he had no bad record during his tenure in Hedong. He was close to the people and diligent in his work. He cared about his soldiers. Although he was in a high position, he lived in plain clothes and had rough food. He ate with the same horse spoon as his subordinates.  Such people, let alone the Li family of Taiyuan, even if our king comes in person, he will definitely not be able to recruit them.  " The soldier nodded again, and suddenly said: "General, I heard you say so, this Liu Heitai is almost the same as you. He is as good to his brothers as you are, he is not greedy for wine and sex, and he eats the same as the soldiers.  Why is he able to sit in such a big official position and take charge of such a large territory?  Why is the king unwilling to give you so many troops and so much territory?  " Wang Fubao was silent, and after a while he said: "Your Majesty treats me with as much kindness as a mountain, and I am satisfied.  "
