    Three generals, Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo and Wang Fubao, led the reinforcements to the north quickly! At the same time, Li Jiancheng also quickly arranged the deployment of troops at the Queshu Valley defense line. However, what made Li Er hate it was that Li Jiancheng still refused to let Li Er take charge of it alone.  Taking charge of the army alone, Li Er and Duan Lun were allowed to lead 15,000 troops to garrison Lingshi, and Li Er continued to accept Duan Lun's orders. Li Jiancheng personally led the remaining troops to retreat to Jiexiu and fortify the northern section of Queshu Valley tightly.  , to resist the Sui army's attack.  Forget it in normal times, now that the battle was imminent and there was a powerful enemy, Li Jiancheng was still so suspicious and wary. No matter how deep Li Ercheng's mansion was, he couldn't help but lose his composure. Regardless of Duan Lun being at the scene, he asked Li Jiancheng face to face: "Brother.  , I am the right governor, and you and I are brothers from the same mother. My brother-in-law is just a general manager. There is a distinction between closeness and superiority. Why should I let my brother-in-law give orders to me? " "Duan Lun is your brother-in-law, and you are?  His wife and brother are all in good order." Li Jiancheng replied calmly: "Besides, Duan Lun has always been the manager of the southern line and is more familiar with the situation in Queshu Valley than you are. Of course, he should continue to command you."  "But what about the record?" Li Er said angrily: "Since my father led us to raise troops from Taiyuan, how many merits have I made for the Taiyuan Rebel Army? How much contribution has my brother-in-law made?" "This is also what I am most worried about." Li Jiancheng  He replied sternly: "Erlang, you have made a few contributions to the Taiyuan Rebels, but didn't you rely on taking risks to win that battlefield? Didn't you just make a desperate move without caring about the end? Your tactics can still be used on mediocre opponents.  Okay, you can win if you are lucky if you encounter a stronger opponent, but this time you are Chen Yingliang! You are Chen Yingliang who has never lost a battle since his debut and never makes mistakes on the battlefield! Even you admit that Chen Yingliang is right!  Qi Sheng¡¯s style of using troops is exactly your nemesis. He uses troops to win first and then to be undefeated, so that you have no chance to take risks and may be attacked by him at any time.¡± In Li Er¡¯s own words!  After blocking Li Er's mouth, Li Jiancheng paused, calmed down a little, and said: "Second brother, if it were normal times or other opponents, you would want to lead an army alone, and neither would I."  I won't consider it. But it won't work this time. Chen Yingliang personally led the main force of 80,000 people to kill. Together with the former army, the strength is more than 100,000. The overall strength is several times that of our army. If we are not careful or reveal a flaw, an accident may occur immediately.  Consequences! At the moment of life and death, what our army needs is your brother-in-law's stability, not your rashness!" Li Er was speechless, and his face became even darker. Li Jiancheng knew what his brother was thinking, so he said again: "If you really don't want to suffer it!  It's fine if your brother-in-law gives orders. You can follow me back to Jiexiu, and let Zhang Lun or Yin Kaishan be Duan Lun's deputy." Li Er hesitated, considering that following Li Jiancheng back to Jiexiu would make him more restricted, and he would have no chance.  Command the troops alone.  Li Er still swallowed his anger and changed his words, expressing his willingness to accept Li Jiancheng's arrangement, and immediately apologized to Duan Lun, asking Duan Lun to forgive his youthful impulsiveness.  Duan Lun, like Li Jiancheng, was a big-bellied person. Although he felt a little unhappy, seeing that Li Er had taken the initiative to admit his mistake, Duan Lun generously helped Li Er and said, "Erlang, you don't have to be like this. Who can  Don't worry, you and I will guard Lingshi City together. As long as a fighter plane appears, I can let you lead the army to attack, and I will not completely tie your hands and feet and deny you a chance to win. "  Li Er thanked him, but Li Jiancheng interjected: "Brother-in-law, second brother, you must be careful when attacking! Chen Yingliang is not an ordinary person. Most of the fighters he can see in front of him are his tactics to lure the enemy.  Don¡¯t forget the lessons learned when your father went out to fight him. The priority is to defend the city. The food and grass in Lingshi City can last for four months. As long as you can hold on until the Fenshui flood season comes in July, we will have hope. " Li Er and Duan Lun.  They agreed together, and then Duan Lun said: "Brother, don't worry, as soon as Chen Yingliang's main force arrives, I will immediately block the Lingshi gates, not giving him a chance to take advantage of others, and preventing his artillery from directly blasting open the city gates. I  I can¡¯t believe it. The traitor Chen Yingliang has enough gunpowder to completely knock down the Lingshi City Wall!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction and casually ordered: ¡°Not only will the city gate be blocked by that time!  , We need to build a dam in the city gate corridor and prepare it for waterproofing. " "Why?" Duan Lun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise: "Brother, do you want to use that trick?"  Seeing Li Jiancheng nodding gloomily, Duan Lun was even more shocked, but Li Er also said in surprise: "Is it impossible? The upstream of Jiexiu is Lize Lake, and there is no way to dam the Fen water there? Wait!"  " Surprised At this point, Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise: "Wenshui! Wenshui merges into Fenshui next to Jiexiu. There is room to build a dam upstream to store water, and it is located at the rear so that it is not easily detected by Chen's army.  , we built a dam on the upper reaches of Wenshui River. When the main force of Chen Yingliang's rebel army penetrated deep into Queshu Valley and suddenly dug up the dam, even if Chen Yingliang could not be drowned,People can also severely damage his main force!  " "Water attack is not that easy.  "Li Jiancheng first gestured to Li Er to speak in a low voice, and then said in a low voice: "It is the dry season now. No matter how much water is stored in the Wenshui tributary, it is destined to be unable to create a flash flood in Queshu Valley that is enough to defeat the enemy. Besides, Chen Yingliang is well versed in the art of war.  , the main force of the pro-lord came, needless to say, the troops were stationed on Gaobi or Dusuoyuan highland, and small-scale flash floods had almost no impact on him.  If you want to defeat him with water, unless you can drag him to the flood season of Fenshui River, then you can find a fighter plane. Otherwise, even if I dig a dike and release water in the upper reaches of Wenshui River, it will only make Chen Yingliang more angry and will have no effect.  " "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely persist until the Fenshui flood season.  "Duan Lun said grimly. "Fight with all your strength.  "Li Jiancheng nodded and whispered: "Keep it secret. Even our soldiers cannot let them know that the dam built in the city gate corridor can only be said to resist the rebel artillery, not to prevent floods.  .  " Duan Lun and Li Er quickly agreed. Li Jiancheng nodded again, and then said: "I will bring the army back to Jiexiu tomorrow. I will leave it to you here in Lingshi. Liu Heitai will definitely cause trouble for you at any cost. You can't do anything about it.  There is no need to waste energy in building strong fortifications in the valley road. The branch army fought with him and tried their best to repair the city defenses, and bought me time to build fortifications in the northern section of Queshu Valley.  " After giving these instructions and giving reassurance to his brother and brother-in-law, Li Jiancheng led the main army northward with a heavy heart. Li Er led his army to catch Liu Heitai and used the narrow terrain to fight with Liu Heitai.  Without giving Liu Heitai a chance to quickly approach Lingshi City, Duan Lun also ordered the troops to reinforce Lingshi City with all their strength, dig trenches and build walls. Everyone was busy with their own tasks, and Liu Heitai was extremely busy many times during this period.  Li Er launched an attack on Li Er's position, but Li Er was able to both attack and defend. Liu Heitai attacked fiercely at all costs, but Huo Yi and Sui's army, which had been fighting for more than two months, found it difficult to escape.  Li Er approached Lingshi City, but he also consumed a lot of energy in the offensive battle and lost a lot of troops. Liu Heitai's hard work was by no means in vain. Huo Yi's Sui army suffered heavy casualties, and Li Er's army also suffered heavy losses.  They were very tired, suffered a lot of casualties, and consumed a lot of energy and morale, so when the three fierce generals Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo, and Wang Fubao arrived on the battlefield with 11,000 rear troops, they replaced Liu Heitai's tired troops.  At the time of the division, Li Er's army no longer had the courage to continue. Knowing how fierce Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo and others were, Li Er did not dare to neglect. He did not even dare to engage in a tentative contact battle and quickly cursed.  The traitor Qiurong, who followed Wang Fubao, led his army to retreat and fled to Lingshi City. Seeing Li Er abandoning the camp and retreating, Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo, who were eager to make a contribution, immediately ordered the pursuit. Xue Renguo once again volunteered to serve as the pursuit arrow.  Wang Fubao, who had only joined the Sui army on his fourth day, stopped Xue Renguo and begged General Cheng Yaojin: "General Cheng, please let the last general serve as the vanguard to pursue.  " "You are injured, so let General Xue pursue you first.  "Cheng Yaojin persuaded with good intentions, and Xue Renguo over there expressed the same attitude, urging Wang Fubao to rest and let himself pursue. "Please let the last general pursue first.  Wang Fubao insisted, then turned to Xue Renguo and said: "General Xue, the road here is narrow, and our army has no chance to outflank. Even if you catch up with the Taiyuan bandit army, you won't be able to gain much. It's better to save your physical strength and let the last general."  Chase first, so that the last general can take the opportunity to make some preparations.  "Looking at the cliffs and the surging Fenshui on both sides, Xue Renguo felt that Wang Fubao was not talking nonsense. Then he closed his mouth and turned his eyes to Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and agreed to Wang Fubao's request. Wang Fubao  Overjoyed, he immediately led more than a thousand of his own troops to pursue Li Er, acting as arrows to pursue Li Er. Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo followed closely with their troops, and were very careful to keep a distance from Wang Fubao, lest Wang Fubao change sides in battle and suddenly endanger themselves.  Wang Fubao, who was leading the army, rushed very quickly and caught up with Li Er's rear army in a short time. Li Er, who was walking at the end of the team when Gao Fengliang was retreating, was furious when he saw it. He turned around and cursed, "  Wang Fubao is a common man!  You are an ungrateful person and a heartless rat. You have the nerve to pursue our army!  Have you forgotten Dou Jiande¡¯s knowledge and support for you?  !  " Not to mention, Li Er's scolding really had an effect. After hearing the scolding, Wang Fubao, who was leading the army at the front, seemed to feel guilty. He actually stopped his horse and asked his soldiers to pursue him.  , Li Erdu, who originally wanted to provoke Wang Fubao and waited for an opportunity to shoot an arrow, had already quietly held the bow and arrow in his hand. After seeing Wang Fubao's expression, he couldn't help but be stunned, and thought to himself: "Is it possible for this Wang Fubao to abandon the dark and turn to the light?  " Wang Fubao felt guilty in his heart. However, the Qiu Ba men under his command would not show mercy and continued to rush forward to kill Li Er. Li Er quickly shot an arrow and knocked down one of them, and then led his army to retreat. Wang Fubao's army continued to pursue him.Li Er, who was as meticulous as his hair, was secretly happy to find that since then, Wang Fubao had never jumped out of the crowd and rushed to the front. He had been hiding behind him, as if he was ashamed to meet Li Er.  Li Er was even more happy, but he did not dare to take it lightly. He led the army all the way back to Lingshi. After receiving the news, Duan Lun immediately sent troops to respond, catching Wang Fubao with a strong formation and a strong bow, and helping Li Er recover from the loss.  Withdraw to Lingshi City in minor cases.  After returning to the city, Li Er naturally had to tell Duan Lun about Wang Fubao's strange behavior on the battlefield. Duan Lun was a little surprised when he heard it, and then said happily: "Is it possible that Wang Fubao will come back anyway?" "I have done it before, too?  I had this suspicion, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it might be very small." Just as Chen Shangliang was worried, Li Er did not believe Wang Fubao's performance and said with a sneer: "Wang Fubao was surrounded and had no way out, and Chen Yingliang died.  What kind of sincerity and kindness could Wang Fubao not be grateful for, leaving his main force for hundreds of miles to surrender? How likely would he be to defect from Chen Yingliang's army again?  As long as no one slanders him, Dou Jiande will be fine with Wang Fubao." Duan Lun retorted and said, "Besides, if someone tells Chen Yingliang about Wang Fubao's performance in the battle today, will Chen Yingliang have any sympathy for him?"  Are the other generals under Chen Yingliang not suspicious of him? Wang Fubao has been wronged by Chen Yingliang's army, and he has no intention of reacting." Li Er hesitated and then realized that it was possible. If Wang Fubao performed in the battle today,  If someone makes a small report, they will be subject to some suspicion anyway.  But again, Brother Li is by no means an easy person to be deceived. He just wavered a little, then calmed down immediately, shook his head and said: "Be careful, even if there is this hope, we can't take the initiative to take action on this matter."  "If Wang Fubao really wants to tell the truth, he will definitely contact us. Then we will carefully identify the authenticity and then decide how to act." Duan Lun nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Erlang, what are we going to do next?"  What to do? The Chen Pioneer arrived faster than we expected. Although we can continue to build the city fortifications, there is no way to build the fortifications outside the city, and there is not enough wood in the city. If we close the city and cannot leave,  The long battle to defend the city in the future will be very detrimental to us. ""It depends on whether you have the courage, brother-in-law." Li Er sneered and said, "Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo and other men came all the way from Guanzhong to fight.  The horses are tired. Liu Heitai's army has been fighting continuously and is even more tired than them. The rebel army is at the end of its crossbows and cannot penetrate the silk. Brother-in-law, if you have the courage to give me your fresh troops and let me lead the army out of the city to fight, we will not be able to defeat the rebel army.  You can also give them a head-on blow!" Duan Lun looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Da Lang told me before he left that he should be cautious when going into battle" "Brother-in-law, if you must be so cautious, then I won't.  There's a way." Li Er spread his hands and said, "If you don't seize this opportunity when the rebel army is tired, then we can only watch the rebel army build a strong camp in Gaobi or Suoduyuan and have enough food.  Drink and rest enough, and then come back to stop us from building fortifications and harass and massacre our soldiers who are leaving the city!" "This" Duan Lun hesitated for a while and then said: "You can consider it, but let me think about it overnight, tomorrow morning.  Decide again, you are tired, go and have a rest." Li Er agreed, and then warned: "Brother, the opportunity is fleeting and will never come again! Don't forget, Liu Heitai, Cheng Yaojin and Xue Renguo.  They are all famous generals in the world. If we don't seize this opportunity, once we let them take a breath, these few men alone will be enough to beat us without any power to fight back! " Duan Lun was even more shaken and hesitated again!  , replied: "Take the time to rest and come see me tomorrow morning." Li Er smiled, then said goodbye and left, thinking secretly: "If you are smart, you will agree. We won the battle with fresh troops and established our prestige. Lingshi  The garrison will gradually stop what I said. "" At the same time, Wang Fubao also raised his head and returned to Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo and Liu Heitai with everyone's suspicious eyes. Although Cheng Yaojin and others did not ask about the battlefield.  But Wang Fubao very frankly took the initiative to tell several new colleagues about what happened on purpose, and then said directly: "Generals, please believe me, I will definitely be rewarded for doing this.  I dare to conclude that the Taiyuan rebels must have begun to doubt whether I might rebel again. If they have this idea, the next thing I will do will be easier. " "Of course we believe you.  "Cheng Yaojin smiled reluctantly, and then asked: "But General Wang, His Highness the Tang Dynasty repeatedly warned you when he was at Taiping Pass, saying that you could not use tricks against Li Erlang. How could you still, what if?  Discovered by Li ErlangWhat to do?  " "The last general is not trying to trick Li Erlang, he is just using Li Erlang's words to tell Duan Lun, the leader of the rebel army, about the situation.  Wang Fubao replied in a deep voice: "It is not easy for Li Erlang to fall into the trap, but it does not mean that he will become suspicious. If he becomes suspicious, he will definitely report the situation to Duan Lun or even Li Jiancheng. When Duan Lun knows about this situation, he will eventually  The opportunity will come.  "Exchanging suspicious glances with each other, Cheng Yaojin reluctantly nodded again, and then asked: "General Wang, what are you going to do next?  When do you start deceiving the enemy?  "    "tomorrow.  The general will start deceiving the enemy tomorrow and cooperate with you to take down Lingshi City.  " Wang Fubao's calm answer made Cheng Yaojin and others almost jump, and then Liu Heitai quickly said: "General Wang, would you like to wait a moment and make some preparations?  The soldiers under our command are very tired and need to rest. It is best to wait a few more days to let our soldiers take a rest and establish a strong camp before taking action again.  "Mr. Liu, I know that your army is very tired. I know that General Cheng and General Xue are also very tired."  Wang Fubao bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "But the Taiyuan bandits also know this, so they never expected that we would deceive the enemy tomorrow, and they never dreamed that we would enter Lingshi City tomorrow."  In the city!  Capture the spirit stone city!  " Glancing at Cheng Yaojin, Xue Renguo and others who were speechless, Wang Fubao said seriously: "Generals, I was poor when I was young. I didn't read a book, let alone learn any art of war. Later, I followed Dou Jiande and joined the army.  When studying the art of war, the first sentence you learn is to take the enemy by surprise and attack him unprepared!  The general has always followed this sentence and fought with troops on the battlefield. Fortunately, he has won many battles. Therefore, the general believes that the enemy's deceptive surprise attack tomorrow will definitely catch the rebel army by surprise and capture the Lingshi City in one fell swoop!  " Liu Heitai, Cheng Yaojin and others were silent. First they exchanged glances with each other and discussed in low voices. Then Liu Heitai said: "General Wang, tell us your strategy and plan.  , if reasonable, we can consider it.  "
