    With Wang Fubao's switch and surrender, the magnificent Chen-Li decisive battle finally kicked off. After shamelessly stealing the political power of the Sui Dynasty, the cunning and evil traitor king Chen Sangliang took the important step of stealing the Jiangshan State of the Sui Dynasty.  In one step, he extended his dirty claws to the Li brothers who had reformed and returned to the imperial court of the Eastern Capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, in an attempt to cut off their dissidents and seize the land and cities of the Taiyuan counties that Emperor Yang Tong entrusted the Li brothers to manage on their behalf!  The Li brothers, who had already had countless relatives died tragically at the hands of Chen Sangliang, were not afraid of the violence and stood up to resist. They vowed to defeat Chen Sangliang and his accomplices and lackeys, protect the family and the people, and fight to the death with the traitor Chen Sangliang.  !  Unfortunately for the Li brothers, no matter how aggressive they are, they don't even consider farming and dealing with other enemies. At most, they can only deploy about 40,000 troops on the Queshu Valley battlefield to fight, including  The auxiliary army has unreliable combat effectiveness; and the main force of the Sui army alone has 80,000 people. Including the Hedong branch that had already arrived before Qin Qiong's army and Liu Heitai's command, the total strength of the Sui army easily exceeded 100,000, and they were elite.  There are so many famous generals and fierce generals that their overall combat effectiveness surpasses that of the Taiyuan Army by eight blocks!  It can be said that if the Taiyuan Army fought a decisive battle with the main force of the Sui Army on the plains without the natural barrier of Queshu Valley and the protection of cities everywhere, then even a confident person like Li Er would not dare to pat his chest and guarantee that he could withstand the main force of the Sui Army.  Live a day without defeat.  In a head-on decisive battle, Chen Sangliang could turn the Li brothers and the main force of the Taiyuan Army into powder by a hundred thousand Sui soldiers just by talking!  Even if there is a huge difference in strength, there is even more misery. Seeing the domineering and traitorous king Chen Sangliang charging towards Taiyuan with great momentum, among the neighbors of the Li brothers, except for the kindhearted man Dou Jiande who did not hesitate to send troops to help, the others either  He either turned into a deaf or blind man and pretended not to see, or he turned around and helped the tyrants, handing over the envoys sent by the Li brothers to ask for help to Chen Sangliang to flatter him. He was as shameless as Liang Shidu and others, and he was already preparing to dispatch troops.  Take advantage of the situation.  As for Li Mi, who had high hopes for the Li brothers, and Wang Shichong, the Li brothers' honorary boss, they had been flirting with Chen Sangliang for a long time and tried every means to get Chen Sangliang to send troops to Taiyuan to give them a chance to breathe.  Of course, although there is a huge disparity in strength and the neighbors are not very helpful, the Li brothers are not without hope of surviving. At least the natural dangers of Queshu Valley and the city's strong food supply in Taiyuan are the Li brothers' self-protection capital. They can survive until Chen Sangliang  It was very possible that the troops would be forced to retreat due to running out of food or for other reasons, so after retreating to Lingshi City in the middle of Queshu Valley, the Li brothers did not hesitate at all and immediately started building the Queshu Valley defensive position, trying their best to block Chen Sang  Good, keep the enemy outside the country's gates.  The Sui army also knew very well that the Taiyuan army would definitely defend the Queshu Valley with all its strength, so without Chen Sangliang's order, Liu Heitai had already personally led his army into the Queshu Valley. He did not expect to break the city and defeat the enemy, but just tried his best to destroy it.  The Taiyuan Army's fortification construction plan also consumed the Taiyuan Army's already weak strength at all costs. The Li brothers hated it but had no choice but to dedicate a special army to fight Liu Heitai and take advantage of the opportunity.  Repair fortifications and build positions.  But the Li brothers also knew that this was not enough. The self-defense army wanted to block Chen Sangliang's main force south of Queshu Valley. The prerequisite was that Dou Jiande must provide more assistance and restrain Chen Sangliang more effectively.  Good flank.  After discovering the news that Wang Fubao opened Taipingguan and surrendered to Chen Sangliang, the Li brothers, while regretting and scolding Chen Sangliang for his hypocrisy, were also secretly delighted. They knew that with Dou Jiande's character and temper, he would definitely surrender for Wang Fubao.  They were so furious that it was not impossible to personally send troops to the west in anger, so the Li brothers immediately sent their ace envoy Ren Yu to take a small road to Yueyang, and then went east to contact Dou Jiande, pretending to thank Dou Jiande, and also took the opportunity to request Dou Jiande to send out the main force to the west.  Go in to rescue your own army.  It is a pity that the Sui army did not underestimate the threat that might come from Dou Jiande. In fact, after surrendering to Chen Sangliang, the first thing Wang Fubao did that night when he was warmly entertained by Chen Sangliang was to ask Chen Sangliang for help.  He issued a warning and said: "Your Highness, Dou Jiande, the old master of the guilty general, has a hot-tempered personality, is warlike and has a soft ear. He likes to listen to slanderous words. If he hears that the guilty general will surrender to you, he will inevitably have the urge to personally propose it when he hears that he has offended the general.  With the idea of ??marching westward for revenge, if someone follows his will and stirs up trouble, he may send out the main force. Regarding this, I hope your highness will be on guard early so as not to be caught off guard. " "What the general said.  Absolutely." Chen Sangliang nodded and said: "In fact, I have never underestimated the threat from Dou Jiande, not to mention Dou Jiande personally leading the army, Cao Dan's men currently stationed in Yueyang alone are threatening our army.  The threat to the flanks and grain roads is huge. Unless the nail in Yueyang is removed, the main force of our army will not dare to move north without worry." After saying that, Chen Sangliang added with a smile: "Fubao, our army will conduct detailed reconnaissance and let us know.  Dou Jiande's army was stationed in Yueyang, and the money and grain from Linfen counties were moved to the station.Yang, it seems like it was all your idea?  This is a wonderful move. The hell place in Yueyang is backed by the Taihang Mountain Road, which is the throat connecting the east and west. If you advance, you can attack the flanks of our army, and if you retreat, you can retreat back to Shangdang and Linfen. If Dou Jiande sends reinforcements to the west, he can also ensure that he can  Traveling on the mountain road is smooth, and you can accomplish many things with one stone. You have really made a good calculation.  " Wang Fubao looked a little embarrassed. He raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, forgive me. It was indeed the guilty general's suggestion to defend Yueyang. At that time, neither Taiyuan Li nor Dou Jiande were willing to listen. I didn't expect them to pick up this method again now.  This has created an obstacle for Your Highness to march into the army. I am guilty of this and I beg Your Highness to forgive me.  " "It doesn't matter. You were loyal to Dou Jiande at that time, so you naturally had to do your best to consider his interests. You can have such a long-term vision, and it's too late for me to be happy. How can I blame you?  " Chen Sangliang laughed and waved his hands. Yuchi Jingde, who was protecting Chen Sangliang on his way north, also smiled and told Wang Fubao that the reason why Chen Sangliang abandoned his main force and hurriedly came to surrender him was because of his outstanding performance on the battlefield.  Liang felt that talents were rare, so he couldn't bear to let Wang Fubao die under the sword of the Sui army. Wang Fubao quickly thanked him, and then hurriedly handed over his hands and said: "Your Highness, the small town of Yueyang is tightly choked by the mountain road. If our army can recapture it quickly, not only can we let it go.  Dou Jiande gave up the idea of ??sending out the main force. Even if Dou Jiande personally led the main force to fight, our army could admit to fighting him and block him on the mountain road, unable to advance.  Yueyang County was proposed to be defended by the guilty general. The guilty general wanted to atone for his sins and asked Your Highness to let the guilty general serve as the vanguard and send troops to recapture Yueyang City.  " "You can't go.  "Chen Sangliang shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't believe you. First, you are injured. Second, you just came from Dou Jiande's side and immediately broke your skin to attack Dou Jiande for me. It is not good for your reputation. You  It is inevitable that you will become the target of public criticism on the battlefield, so you don't need to go to Yueyang. Take the time to recuperate first, and then accompany me to attack Queshu Valley and Taiyuan City.  " Wang Fubao nodded and thanked Chen Sangliang again for his attentiveness. Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin immediately asked for orders to attack Yueyang. After Chen Sangliang thought about it for a moment, he shook his head and said, "There is no need to rush to attack Yueyang, Cao Dan.  We have 15,000 to 6,000 troops in our hands, and we will definitely take gestures. The current strength in your hands is slightly weaker. Even if we can defeat them, we will definitely pay a lot of casualties.  Yueyang City will wait for our main army to arrive. The key is the Queshu Valley. Liu Heitao has been fighting hard and the army has suffered a lot. Priority must be given to replenishing his troops so that he can more effectively contain the Li brothers.  " Having said that, Chen Sangliang arranged for Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo to lead the vanguard to Huoyi to participate in the battle, and asked Qin Qiong to rest in Linfen temporarily. After replenishing his troops, he would send troops to fight Yueyang. The three generals agreed, but Wang Fubao was a little reluctant to speak.  He stopped and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, can you let the last general follow General Cheng and others to go north first?  " "I just said, you are injured, it is important to recover first, there is no need to rush into battle.  " Chen Sangliang replied. "Your Highness, please listen to the guilty general.  Wang Fubao hurriedly handed over his hands and said in a deep voice: "The general believes that your main army is still on the way north, and it is temporarily unable to launch a frontal attack on Queshu Valley. Cao Dan is still garrisoned in Yueyang and has not yet been threatened. Taiyuan  Li must have such thoughts, feeling that even if your Highness immediately increases the number of troops in Queshu Valley, you only want to harass and destroy them, without giving them a chance to build strong fortifications, let alone launch an attack immediately.  " Speaking of this, Wang Fubao took a peek at Chen Sangliang's face and saw that Chen Sangliang nodded in agreement with his analysis. Then he said: "In this case, if our army suddenly turns imaginary into reality and highlights the surprise troops, it will only  The front army launched an attack to kill the Taiyuan Li family by surprise. Once successful, even if our army cannot break through the Queshu Valley in one fell swoop, it can at least severely inflict heavy damage on the enemy. We can even seize the opportunity to capture Lingshi City in the middle of the Queshu Valley and seize our army.  The main force is stationed in the Queshu Valley where the army is stationed for food!  " "Good idea!  If this happens, it will be much easier for our army to break through Queshu Valley!  " Chen Sangliang clapped his hands and applauded. Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo over there were very happy when they heard such a good thing. They hurriedly asked Wang Fubao: "General Wang, how can we highlight the surprise troops and catch the Taiyuan bandit army by surprise?  ?  " For some unknown reason, Wang Fubao suddenly closed his mouth, not daring to answer the question. But Chen Sangliang smiled and said: "Knowing integrity, Renguo, isn't this simple anymore?  General Fubao had just surrendered, but he chose to surrender because he was completely surrounded by our army and had no way out. Now he has gone to the Taiyuan rebel army and pretended to surrender. Can the Taiyuan rebel army believe him?  The Taiyuan bandit army believes in General Fu Bao, won't you have the opportunity to establish a miraculous feat?  " Wang Fubao suddenly opened his mouth. He looked at Chen Sangliang and couldn't believe his ears. But Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo and Qin Qiong turned around sharply and looked at Wang Fubao together. Their eyes were full of suspicion and suspicion, and they all felt in their hearts.  Said: "Does this guy want to pretend to surrender to the Taiyuan bandit army?  Or is he now?In fact, it was a fake surrender, and I wanted to take the opportunity to run back!  "¡ª¡ªDon't blame Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others for being petty. The key is that Wang Fubao surrendered to Chen Sangliang just this morning. At this time, Wang Fubao spoke again and said cautiously: "Your Highness is smart, the criminal really wants to use  The enemy was defeated by a false surrender plan, but, but I just don't know if His Highness can trust the guilty general?  " "Of course I'm not worried!  " Chen Sangliang's decisive answer made Wang Fubao stunned. Then Chen Sangliang said slowly: "What I am worried about is your body. You are injured. If you go to defeat the enemy, you will inevitably have to fight with the Taiyuan bandit army.  It's a life-and-death fight. If you make any mistake at that time, won't our army lose a general?  " After coming back to his senses, Wang Fubao's face was suddenly flushed red with blood. He immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee to Chen Sangliang, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness knows how to be kind and loving, and the general will not be able to repay you even if he is shattered to pieces.  Nothing is certain!  Please rest assured, Your Highness, although the general has minor injuries, it does not prevent him from fighting in battle. He can still perform meritorious service for you, Your Highness, and he will definitely be able to come back to see you alive!  " After saying that, Wang Fubao quickly unbuttoned his shirt to let Chen Sangliang look at his chest injury. He said that although his wound had not scabbed, it had stopped bleeding. Chen Sangliang smiled, helped Wang Fubao up himself, and helped him  Putting on his clothes, he said: "General, you must go. I won't stop you. I will take all your old troops with you. When the time comes, you can take them to fake a surrender, so that I don't have to worry about your safety."  " The hearts of Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and others were beating even faster, but Wang Fubao shed tears and knelt down before Chen Sangliang again. He choked and said: "The general will surrender today, but His Highness can be so confidant to the general. There is no doubt that the general will be trusted.  To be able to meet a lord like His Highness is simply a blessing gained from my previous life.  I will pledge my oath to Taihang Mountain. Even if Taihang collapses, I will never waver in my loyalty to His Highness!  " Chen Sangliang smiled and picked up Wang Fubao again, and said many beautiful words to comfort him. After Wang Fubao stopped crying, Chen Sangliang said in a deep voice: "Fubao, you can pretend to surrender!  But remember one thing, you will definitely fake surrender in front of Li Erlang. That traitor is far more cunning than me. Not only is it very difficult for you to fake surrender, but even if you can temporarily deceive him, he will definitely have a way to prevent you from suddenly attacking.  , but it cost you your life!  If you want to surrender, you can only choose other targets!  Do you understand?  " "Understood, thank you for your guidance, Your Highness.  Wang Fubao quickly agreed and said: "Your Highness, don't worry. The general will be careful to watch out for Li Erlang and will not give him a chance to see through. The general will also act according to the opportunity and strive to win more results for His Highness."  " Chen Sangliang nodded with a smile, and asked Wang Fubao many details, and then let everyone disperse to rest. After the banquet was dismissed, Wang Fubao was smart enough to leave first, and of course Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and other generals were together.  After Wang Fubao left, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other generals immediately gathered in front of Chen Sangliang and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can you really trust him?  This Wang Fubao just surrendered this morning. Aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to escape again?  " "If he takes the opportunity to run away, what loss do we have?  Chen Sangliang asked with a smile and said: "If Wang Fubao is pretending to surrender to us, then he made an excuse to pretend to surrender to the Taiyuan rebels and never returned, and he also brought his direct descendants with him."  What is great about us is that we have lost Wang Fubao, who is completely unreliable, and more than a thousand direct subordinates he brought out. Will it bring more harm than good to us, or more harm than good?  " After a lot of effort, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and others finally understood the meaning of Chen Sangliang's words. Qin Qiong immediately nodded and said: "Your Highness is smart, yes, it is true. Whether Wang Fubao sincerely surrenders to our army, it is still unclear.  It is impossible to tell, and a war is imminent. Instead of leaving him in the army to be careful at all times, it is better to agree to his volunteering. If he sincerely submits to us, he can win for us and prove his loyalty to His Highness.  If he pretends to surrender to our army, we won't lose much if he doesn't return, and in turn, we can be less vigilant.  " "I kind of mean that, but I believe that Wang Fubao is sincerely surrendering, and he sincerely wants to build meritorious service for our army and win victory.  Chen Sangliang said calmly: "I had two very special experiences before, which taught me how to effectively distinguish between true and false, good and evil in a person."  Wang Fubao is a typical soldier who attaches great importance to the honor and criticism of soldiers. His personality is very similar to that of Kan Leng and Liu Heitai. Once such a person identifies his lord, it is almost impossible to betray him.  I believe that he has already made up his mind to surrender to me. I agreed to let him fake surrender to the Taiyuan rebels, mainly because he can easily gain the trust of the Taiyuan rebels and create opportunities for us to defeat the enemy.  " "Except for pome fruit, you have all been to Queshu Valley, and you all know what is going on there.  "Chen Sangliang added: "Our main force cannot deploy its troops there at all. No matter how strong the military is, it is of little use.In this place, if Wang Fubao's false surrender can help you take the opportunity to capture Lingshi City, then it will be several times easier for our main force to break through Queshu Valley.  Therefore, this risk is worth taking, because as long as we can succeed in the surprise attack, we can save thousands of our soldiers and save tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of food and grass!  " Qin Qiong and others nodded, admiring Chen Sangliang's careful calculation, digging out oil from mosquitoes' bellies and scraping meat from egrets' legs. But Chen Sangliang told Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo: "Know your integrity, Renguo, you must do it.  Treat Wang Fubao with sincerity. Except for things that may put your lives in danger, you can trust him in everything.  You should also listen more to his strategies. His intelligence and wisdom were not used in officialdom, but all on the battlefield. His strategies will definitely help you.  " While Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo agreed, Chen Sangliang warned him uneasily: "Also, be careful of Li Erlang. Wang Fubao's plan to surrender can't be hidden from anyone but him!  If possible, you'd better do everything possible to hold back Li Erlang and create opportunities for Wang Fubao to deceive others.  " Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo agreed again, and then Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Highness, can you think of a way for us, let us hold Li Erlang outside Lingshi City, and let Wang Fubao take the opportunity to go down to Lingshi City and pretend to surrender?  If we succeed, we can take the opportunity to capture Lingshi City and control most of the natural barrier in Queshu Valley.  " "It's too far away. I don't even know the troop deployment of the Taiyuan bandit army in Queshu Valley. How can I come up with such a method?  Chen Sangliang smiled bitterly and said casually: "But it doesn't matter. After arriving in Queshu Valley, you can make your own calculations according to local conditions. I believe you can do it."  "
