    It¡¯s time to go back and take a look at the situation of the Liu and Li coalition forces. Are you sure? The Sui army withdrew across the Dongjuo River and went far away. Liu Wuzhou had just ordered to cancel the battle preparations. The camp gates and fences that had been blasted by the Sui army¡¯s artillery were immediately surrounded.  In order to watch the lively Dingyang soldiers, they were discussing the power of the Sui army's artillery. Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and other Dingyang army decision-makers also came to the scene to observe in person. The result was that it was better not to look at the camp.  Looking at the condition of the door and fence, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and others immediately took a deep breath.  The thigh-thick door latch on the camp gate was directly broken into two pieces due to the impact of the cannonball. The fence post that was thicker than an arm was also directly bombarded into powder. A Jima outside the fence was hit first, although it was only shot.  He was hit by a sharp stake, but was uprooted by the huge force, turned over and hit the fence.  Stroking the broken fence posts with fresh wood exposed, Liu Wuzhou simply could not imagine the consequences if the human body was directly hit by a cannonball. He finally believed the introduction to him by the Li brothers - Li Yuan's thigh was bounced off the ground.  The cannonball was directly blasted into two pieces!  "The camp can't be defended." Song Jinjiang said with a gloomy face: "No matter how strong the fence gate is, it can't stop the Chen thief's artillery. I heard that the Chen thief brought at least thirty artillery pieces this time. If he sends out the main force to attack  , and all thirty artillery pieces were used on our camp. With only one round of bombardment, the front of our camp will be destroyed." Liu Wuzhou nodded gloomily, agreeing with Song Jingang's analysis, and then suddenly hit him with a heavy punch.  On the broken fence, he said fiercely: "Call Li Jiancheng and force him to agree to our garrison in Taiyuan City. Only the solid city wall of Taiyuan can block the rebel artillery! Otherwise, no matter how strong the camp we build, it will be useless!" "  Li Jiancheng is very cunning and will definitely find excuses to deny us entry into the city." Song Jinjiang shook his head and said, "Also, the low-lying terrain of Taiyuan City he mentioned is also a big problem. What will we do if Chen's army really floods Taiyuan?  "We'll try to get into Taiyuan City first," Liu Wuzhou insisted, and while sending people to ask Li Jiancheng to come over for military discussions, he hummed, "Once we have a safe foothold in the city, our cavalry can attack at any time to destroy the enemy's buildings."  Damn, it's not that easy for the rebels to overwhelm us. Also, didn't Li Jiancheng say that Dou Jiande would also send reinforcements? As long as we persist until Dou Jiande comes to help, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. "In fact, even if Liu Wuzhou doesn't send someone to invite Li Jiancheng,  Li Jiancheng also had to take the initiative to visit - the Taiyuan Army was somewhat unwilling to save Dingyang Army. If Li Jiancheng did not explain the reasons and resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible, the gap between the Liu and Li coalition forces would definitely become larger and larger, and the conflicts would definitely become more and more serious.  The bigger.  Therefore, after Liu Wuzhou's envoy came west to the Taiyuan military camp, Li Jiancheng not only agreed, but also immediately arranged for Yin Kaishan, Wang Gui and other confidants to temporarily stay at the camp, and immediately left for the camp.  When Li Jiancheng left the tent, Li Er, who had already put on clean clothes, emerged from nowhere and asked to go to the camp with Li Jiancheng to visit Liu Wuzhou and others, saying that he wanted to confront Liu Wuzhou about the ineffective rescue of Ding Yang's army in today's battle.  When the others apologized and explained, Li Jiancheng didn't care. He nodded and agreed to the second brother's request, but he didn't notice that the corner of the second brother's mouth had already put on a proud smile Li Jiancheng and the second brother Li  When Dongjin arrived at the Dingyang Army camp, the first thing that greeted them was of course the contemptuous looks of the Dingyang Army officers. Many of the Dingyang Army officers looked very dissatisfied. Apparently they were still concerned about the Taiyuan Army's early escape from the battlefield today. The Li family  The brothers did not dare to mind under the eaves, but secretly prayed that Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and others would not care too much about this matter. The result was not bad. Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and other senior Dingyang Army officials were polite enough to greet them in person.  After arriving at the Chinese army camp, Li Jiancheng politely invited the Li brothers into the Chinese army's tent for a banquet. He did not mention the Taiyuan Army's ineffective rescue today for a long time, and Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief.  Then Li Jiancheng quickly understood why Liu Wuzhou and others were so easy to talk to. After drinking for three rounds, Liu Wuzhou immediately raised the issue of the upcoming war and said: "Two worthy brothers, you have seen with your own eyes the situation of today's war.  Chen thief is not only a strong soldier but also a sharp artilleryman. The camp defenses of our two armies are vulnerable to him. If Chen thief personally leads the main force to attack tomorrow and uses artillery to directly bombard our camp defenses, your army will be vulnerable.  How can our two armies resist? " As soon as Liu Wuzhou raised his tail, Li Jiancheng immediately understood what he was going to say. Knowing that Liu Wuzhou would definitely mention the garrison in Taiyuan City again, Li Jiancheng bit his teeth in desperation.  Yao, he immediately handed over his hand to Liu Wuzhou and said: "Even if brother doesn't mention this matter, I will take the initiative to mention it immediately. Yes, I am also worried that Chen Yingliang will send the main force to directly attack the camps of our two armies, so on the way here,  I have already thought of a two-pronged strategy, please adopt it." "Brother Xian, have you already thought of a two-pronged strategy?" Liu Wuzhou was slightly surprised and asked quickly: "Brother Xian, do you have any clever ideas? Please hurry up.Come on.  "My younger brother suggested that our two armies should abandon the camp outside the city and withdraw into the city to station themselves."  "Li Jiancheng spoke very quickly, and said with cupped hands: "My younger brother led the army to retreat and garrison in Taiyuan City. Brother, please lead Dingyang's army eastward and move to Yuci. With the help of the city to resist Chen Yingliang's artillery, we also become horns with each other.  Rescue and fight against the enemy together.  " Hearing this, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, who were determined to enter Taiyuan City, could not help but have dull expressions. However, Li Er remained calm. He glanced at his brother from the corner of his eyes, sneered in his heart, and said to himself: "It's not too bad.  Incompetent, he could think of this way to deal with Liu Wuzhou.  Unfortunately, it was earlier than I expected.  " "Let our army move to Yuci City?  Liu Wuzhou came back to his senses, his face immediately turned angry, and asked: "Brother Xian, what do you mean?"  I personally led the main force of Dingyang south to rescue you. The soldiers of Dingyang shed their blood and defended you against the Chen bandit army for two consecutive days. Now you ask our army to move to the small town of Yuci where food and grass are scarce and the city is in ruins. You  You hide yourself in Taiyuan City, which has plenty of food and grass and a strong city. You are repaying kindness with evil. Do you still have some morality?  !  "Brother, I have misunderstood. I am not doing this to repay kindness with hatred, but for the sake of the safety of your army."  Li Jiancheng shook his head and said sincerely: "Brother, I gave you a detailed introduction to Taiyuan's city's weaknesses yesterday. Don't you know that as long as Thief Chen uses water attacks, both your army and our army will have no power to fight back?"  I asked your army to move to Yuci, which is free from floods, and to enter the dangerous area of ??Taiyuan, which may be surrounded by floods at any time. This is to repay your army for its long-distance rescue. How can I repay kindness with hatred?  " "It turns out that my brother has really misunderstood my virtuous brother.  "Liu Wuzhou is also a guy who can turn around faster than turning over a book. He immediately smiled, waved and said: "Don't worry, dear brother, I have already considered this issue carefully. It doesn't matter even if Chen thieves build a dam to siege the city, Fenshui Dam  It is definitely not possible to leave the city in one day. Your army and ours can send troops at any time to stop Chen Thief from building a dam and not give him a chance to succeed.  Besides, brother Xian, didn¡¯t you also say that we still have Dou Jiande¡¯s supporting army?  As long as we persist until Dou Jiande comes to help, why worry about not being able to defeat Chen's army?  " "Brother Jiancheng, if you are worried about our army's inability to fight effectively, there is absolutely no need to do so.  Song Jingang also laughed and said: "Whether we can prevent the Chen thieves from building a dam and flooding Taiyuan is also related to the life and death of our Dingyang army. We can't do it even if we don't work hard!"  " Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Brothers, if you think that you can stop the enemy from building a dam just by attacking suddenly, then you are underestimating Chen Yingliang, right?  Brothers, you have fought against Chen Yingliang twice and have a certain understanding of his strength. Do you think that after we enter the city, we still have a chance to defeat them out of the city?  " "Chen Thief's elite soldiers and generals are indeed very large, and they are indeed difficult to deal with.  Song Jingang smiled and said: "But I don't believe it. These elite soldiers and generals of Chen Thief have always been on duty on our way out of the city. Can they remain vigilant day and night without revealing any flaws?"  " Li Jiancheng laughed again, and smiled very happily, and said: "Brother Song, if you think that the enemies our two armies have encountered in the past two days are already the strongest under Chen Yingliang's command, then you are totally wrong.  .  To be honest with Brother Song, the most fierce generals under Chen Yingliang have not shown up yet, and the most powerful troops under Chen Yingliang have not taken action yet!  " "Chen Thief still has elite soldiers and generals under his command who haven't taken action yet?  "Liu Wuzhou's expression changed a little. "Brother Wu Zhou, have you not heard of the name Yuchi Jingde from Mayi?  Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "He is now Chen Yingliang's general manager of the Chinese army. Unless Chen Yingliang goes into battle in person, he and his elite soldiers will never take action."  There are also General Chen Ci and General Manager Guo Feng of the Nationalist Army who captured Shibi Khan alive on the Yanmen battlefield. They have not shown up yet. Chen Yingliang personally organized this newspaper. How much fame has he gained in the past few years?  , Your army has never heard of it, right?  " Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng glanced at Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, who had serious faces, and added with a smile: "In addition, the names of Chen Yingliang's subordinates include Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Liu Heitai and Wang Fubao.  I didn¡¯t take action on the battlefield of Dongwo River. As far as I know, Brother Song, your old master Wei Daoer was actually defeated and killed by Wang Fubao in a surprise attack. Brother Song, you don¡¯t remember his name, right?  In addition, Chen Yingliang also has a group of musketeers under his command who have only appeared on the battlefields of Yanmen County and Zhiguan. They have not taken action yet. The muskets in their hands can directly penetrate even the best Mingguang armor.  !  "The hearts of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss. They never expected that Chen Sangliang would still have so many elite soldiers and generals that were not used. They had to reconsider whether they would continue to fight after the army entered the city.  There is hope that a sudden sneak attack can prevent the Sui army from building a dam - after all, the Sui army has too many fierce men, even if it is three or four shiftsThey can easily prevent the Taiyuan defenders from leaving the city for a surprise attack, and as long as they delay a little bit, when the main force of the Sui army reacts, they can kill all the defenders leaving the city with a backhand slap!  Observing his words and seeing that Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were already shaken, Li Jiancheng said: "So, I'm asking you to move to Yuci for the sake of your safety. Yuci is sixty miles west of Taiyuan, and the road is not far away.  It is close and has a huge space, which is where your cavalry comes into play. After your army and our army become at odds with each other, our army is responsible for holding on to Taiyuan to contain Chen Yingliang's main force. When your army has the opportunity, it will send troops to destroy the dam built by Chen Yingliang, or destroy the dam that the enemy has built.  , if you don¡¯t have a chance, temporarily retreat to the city to garrison, you can advance and retreat, and you can defend. Isn¡¯t it far better than guarding Taiyuan with our army and being passively beaten, and may be swallowed by the flood at any time? "Liu Wuzhou came to protect the southern barrier of the Taiyuan Army and take advantage of the opportunity?  Those who take advantage are not here to accompany the Taiyuan Army to wait for death. After listening to Li Jiancheng's threatening and coaxing words, Liu Wuzhou inevitably began to waver again. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't help but said to himself:  "It is safer for our army to move to Yuci, but regarding the issue of food and grass, it is impossible for Chen's army to give us the opportunity to replenish food and grass from Taiyuan?" "Food and grass are not a problem." Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You two  Don¡¯t worry, brother, there is so much food and grass in Yuci City that it can be used by your army for three months.¡± Everyone, including Li Er who had not spoken a word, looked up at Li Jiancheng in surprise. Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were even more stunned.  They all asked in unison: "Can the small town of Yuci have so much food and grass?" "Yes." Li Jiancheng finally showed his last trump card and said with a smile: "To be honest with you two brothers, in order to take precautions, I have even more to give up.  King Dou's reinforcements will not be without food after they march westward to Taiyuan. My younger brother has already secretly stocked up a large amount of food and grass in Yuci City, which will save your army from having to worry about food and grass for at least three months." After that, Li Jiancheng asked again with a smile!  He said: "Brothers, it will take three whole months for King Changle's reinforcements to reach the Taiyuan battlefield no matter what. By then, your army will join hands with King Changle's army. Are you afraid that they will not be able to defeat Chen Yingliang and lift the siege of Taiyuan?"  "Liu Wuzhou finally changed his mind. Considering that it would be more convenient to move to Yuci to escape, Liu Wuzhou finally nodded and agreed with Li Jiancheng's opinion.  However, just when Li Jiancheng was secretly happy and Liu Wuzhou was about to agree to march eastward to Yuci to garrison, Li Er, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Brother has prepared for a rainy day and secretly stockpiled food and grass in Yuci City. This is indeed worthy of my brother."  I admire it. But I believe that Brother Wu Zhou¡¯s army must not move to Yuci, but can only join our army in Taiyuan City to fight against the Chen bandit army!¡± As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, and Li Jiancheng was even more shocked!  His eyes were rounded, and he almost blurted out, "Are you crazy?!" Of course Li Er was not crazy. He turned to Liu Wuzhou and Song Jinjiang and said, "Brothers, the younger brother suggested this because of  For your sake, it is safer for your army to move to Yuci, but in this way, the strength of our two armies will be divided into two, which will immediately give Chen's army a chance to defeat each other! Brothers, please imagine that you are Chen Yingliang!  Traitors, how dare you ignore the threat of your army after the main force of your army moves to Yuci, and attack the fortified city of Taiyuan first, while ignoring the small city of Yuci, let alone the traitor Chen Yingliang, who is as cunning as a fox?  Any army commander will definitely attack Yuci first and then attack Taiyuan. When Yuci is in danger, our army will not be able to go eastward for rescue. Your army is fighting alone. How can it be the main opponent of Chen Thief? " "I was almost fooled into a trap by Li Jiancheng.  Only then did Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang come to their senses. They quickly nodded their heads and said that this was exactly the case.  Li Jiancheng, who had deliberately avoided mentioning this before, glared at his second brother, wishing he could strangle his own brother to death on the spot. However, Li Er showed no fear and raised his hand to Li Jiancheng and said: "Brother, I suggest you do this. The main force of our army retreats to the west city of Taiyuan.  Brother Wu Zhou retreated to the east city, and the two armies joined hands to defend the city of Taiyuan. My younger brother, I led an army eastward to Yuci to garrison, to properly contain the Chen bandit army, and to keep the communication between our army and King Changle open, so as to receive King Changle's reinforcements. "  After hearing this, Li Jiancheng finally understood the evil intentions of his second brother, but Li Er was very convincing and continued: "My younger brother has few soldiers, so Chen Zei will definitely not send out the main force to attack Yuci. Even if Chen Zei hates my brother to the core,  If you insist on attacking Yuci first and then Taiyuan, I can also act according to the situation, either close the city and hold on, or move around and delay as much as possible. You can also directly attract the main force of the Chen thieves for you and Brother Wu Zhou, killing multiple birds with one stone.  "Yes, isn't it wonderful?" "If you want military power, just say so!" Li Jiancheng roared in his heart, "You can hide in Yuci and let me and Liu Wuzhou restrain each other. No one can dominate."  In Taiyuan City, everyone has to ask for something from you! You, a wallflower, can take advantage of the situation and raise the price. After eating, you can get benefits from both sides, and in the end, you can even marry Dou Jiande.As a strong reinforcement, you forced Liu Wuzhou to withdraw from Taiyuan and also forced me to hand over Taiyuan. To take advantage of the situation and rob it to this extent, you have reached the pinnacle of success!  " Of course Li Jiancheng didn't dare to shout these inner words in front of Liu Wuzhou and others. After hesitating for a while, Li Jiancheng quickly winked at Li Er and asked: "Then what if the enemy builds a dam and attacks with water?  Don¡¯t you know that Taiyuan¡¯s low-lying terrain is most vulnerable to water attack?  " "Brother, have you forgotten the story of Zhao Xiangzi guarding Taiyuan that my younger brother told you?  Li Er smiled and said: "Zhibo was unable to attack Taiyuan repeatedly and diverted water from Jin to flood the city. Although Zhao Xiangzi was caught off guard and failed to raise the city wall in time, and the city was flooded, Zhao Xiangzi still led the defenders to stay in their nest.  He drank from the cauldron and held on to Taiyuan for more than three years. Finally, he got a chance and killed the Zhi family.  Now that we have reinforcements outside, and we have time to prepare, if we return to the city and immediately heighten and reinforce the city wall to make it waterproof, then we don't have to worry about Chen Yingliang, the traitor, who will divert water into the city?  " Li Jiancheng, who had never expected that his brother would be so cruel, was completely desperate, but Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were overjoyed? They quickly asked Li Er about the story of Zhibo's failure to flood Taiyuan, and then listened to Li Er's lively introduction.  Afterwards, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jinjiang didn't even blink an eyelid, and immediately asked Li Jiancheng to accept Li Er's proposal. Li Jiancheng remained speechless with a livid face. Li Er took the opportunity to get close to Li Jiancheng's ear and whispered: "Brother,  I'm doing this for your own good, don't forget, we are in the Dingyang military camp, if Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang are cornered  " "Brother Jiancheng, what are you still hesitating about?  Liu Wuzhou urged with a smile: "Erlang's plan is brilliant, what else do you have to hesitate about?"  "Brother Wu Zhou, he is worried that our army has few soldiers, especially the cavalry."  Li Er took the opportunity and said: "There are too few cavalry. My brother, even if there are fighter planes after I move to Yuci, it will be difficult to seize the opportunity to attack at the right time to share the pressure for Taiyuan's east-west city."  " "So that's it.  "Liu Wu laughed on Monday and immediately said: "This matter is easy to handle. I will give you a thousand war horses, so that Erlang you can have enough cavalry to wait for the opportunity to attack!  " Li Eryi was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly thanked Liu Wuzhou, and then urged Li Jiancheng: "Brother, it's not too late. It's best for our army to withdraw overnight tonight, otherwise, it will be too late until tomorrow.  " Li Jiancheng's face became even more gloomy. He glared at Li Er without saying a word. Li Er observed his words, smiled again, and suddenly gave Li Jiancheng a fatal blow. He said with a smile: "Brother, why don't you sit down in brother Wu Zhou's camp first, and continue.  Discuss with brother Wu Zhou how to defend Taiyuan City together. My younger brother will go back to our army camp first to organize the army to prepare for retreat?  " As soon as Li Er said this, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's eyes immediately lit up, but Li Jiancheng jumped up in shock, knowing that if he insisted on refusing, the ruthless second brother would definitely ask Liu Wuzhou to detain him immediately, so that he could take the opportunity to dominate Taiyuan.  Army. Forced to do so, Li Jiancheng could only nod immediately, "This is a great plan, I agree.  Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were all smiles, and Li Er was also beaming. He quickly thanked Li Jiancheng and said, "Brother, I know that you will definitely accept this suggestion, so I had my troops ready to go before we passed the camp."  Prepare, so I don¡¯t think I need to go back. I just need to send someone back to inform Zhu Can and Liang Jianfang that they will lead their troops to obey the order. Brother, please go back to our army camp to prepare to withdraw the troops. I will stay here and wait for Brother Wu Zhou to reward the war horses.  how?  " "My wise brother is far-sighted, and my foolish brother admires me!"  admire!  " When Li Jiancheng said this, of course he was full of resentment every word, but Li Er smiled slightly, and whispered into Li Jiancheng's ear: "Brother, don't blame me, I did this for your own good. Dingyang Army moved to Dingyang.  Yuci will indeed only give the main force of the Chen thieves a chance to defeat us one by one. Our army has no hope of defeating the Chen thieves and protecting Taiyuan. If we want to save Taiyuan, we have the only way to defend the city together with the Dingyang army. We can do other things in the future.  Speak slowly.  Brother, whether you did the right thing or not, brother, you can think about it carefully on your way back to the camp. I know, brother, you will definitely be able to figure it out.  "
