    Hebei, Mingzhou City, Wufeng Palace.  Dou Jiande was wearing a general's robe and armor, holding a big sword and a golden sword, sitting on his throne. Ever since he called Gu the King of Xia, he had not sat in his palace in such a uniform for a long time, and  Today, this Hebei hero once again showed the majesty of the invincible King of Xia who dominated the world in the past, so that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty looked at him with excitement, because everyone knew that King Xia wanted to  A major decision has been made.  Dou Jiande's eyes swept across the faces of the civil and military officials in the court one by one, and said slowly: "Everyone, after so many years of development, our Daxia has well-equipped troops in Hebei, and everyone is focused on it. Since Daye Six  Since the beginning of the year, the world has been in chaos. It has been almost ten years now. Ten years of gatherings and ten years of lessons. Now, we have become a decisive force in the world. It is also time for us to strike with thunder and win greater glory.  Yes, Pei Pushe, don¡¯t you think so?¡± Pei Shiju smiled slightly, stood out of the queue, and said loudly: ¡°I believe that what the king said is true. The current situation is extremely favorable for us in Daxia. The Tang army besieged Luoyang.  After half a year of invincibility, the troops and horses of both sides suffered great losses. Although the defender Wang Shichong killed more than 100,000 Tang troops, there was insufficient food and grass in the city. I heard that their defenders had begun to eat grass roots and mud scraps, and even stood in the city.  It was unstable. It can be said that the city was destroyed in a matter of days. " "And the Tang army was not much better. Li Shimin organized the Tang army into multiple teams and besieged them on all sides, fighting day and night, from the mountains to the tunnels, from the catapults.  By the time we arrived at Quranche, it can be said that all kinds of siege methods had been used, but Luoyang City was still a wall of sighs that the Tang army could not overcome. These days, the Tang army's officers and men were disengaged, their morale was depressed, and they no longer had the same vigor as when they came out of the pass.  Many generals even urged Li Shimin to retreat. Although Li Shimin intended to continue the offensive, he could no longer encourage the soldiers to sacrifice their lives. He could only ask Feng Lun to return to Chang'an to request an order and let Li Yuan decide whether to continue the siege. " Dou Jiande laughed: "I am alone.  I have long said that Wang Shichong is not an easy bone to chew. Although the teeth of the Tang army are hard, a few of his front teeth will break if he bites them. Sure enough, although Li Shimin can defeat Wang Shichong in a field battle, facing the tall city wall of Luoyang City, he still cannot  There is no other way. I think he is preparing to retreat now. " Zuo Pushe Qi Yuanrang raised his eyebrows and stood up. This old man in his fifties with gray beard and hair is a famous wise man in Hebei.  After Wang Fubao, the representative of local counselors won the trust of Dou Jiande because of his low profile and wisdom. Together with Pei Shiju and another Imperial Academy Jiu Ling Jing, they were called Dou Jiande's three major counselors in Hebei.  Dou Jiande looked at Qi Yuanrang and said, "Qi Pushe, do you agree with Gu's opinion?" Qi Yuanrang nodded and said, "What the king said is absolutely true. The Tang army has been unable to attack Luoyang City for a long time.  Although we are building a siege now, it is inevitable to retreat. This is a good opportunity for us. I think we can attack Youzhou now and eat Luo Yi in one fell swoop. In this way, our northern part of Hebei will be stable and our connection with the Turks will be stable.  It can be said that it is an invincible position in this troubled world." Dou Jiande said softly: "Why should we attack Youzhou now instead of Bingzhou? Or go south to Jianghuai?  He smiled and said: "Luo Yi has always been our mortal enemy and the biggest obstacle that hindered our contact between Daxia and the Turks. The reason why we did not fight before was mainly because Luo Yi defected to Li Tang. If we attack Luo Yi, Li Jiancheng will send troops  Support, the result of our hard-fought peace talks with Li Tang will be in vain, so for the time being, we can only tolerate it. " "But it is different now. Li Shimin will not be able to attack Dongdu, and he will withdraw his troops back to Guanzhong. Wang Shichong will.  will be restored, and may even be counterattacking, so Li Jiancheng can no longer easily send troops to rescue Youyan. If we take the opportunity to attack Luo Yi at this time, Li Tang will only curse a few words at most, which will not form any substantial support.  " Dou Jiande smiled and said: "So, how many troops do Qi Pushe think we need to attack Luo Yi?" Qi Yuanrang curled his lips and said: "In the previous two times, we sent out 200,000 troops to attack Youzhou?  , It's a pity that Luo Yi resisted desperately and the soldiers worked together. We besieged for many days but could not defeat it. We were short of food and had to retreat. Since the Tang army could not support Luo Yi this time, the king can use our troops from Hebei to besiege Youzhou with an army of 300,000.  With the king's bravery and prowess, as long as the Turks are willing to send troops to help, they will definitely be able to win it this time." Dou Jiande sighed: "Youzhou, Zhuojun is Luo Yi's hometown for many years, and the troops are well equipped, although the number is not as good as mine!  However, they can defend Yingcheng. In addition, the Tang army in Bingzhou and Gao Kaidao in Beiping, Liaoning will send troops to help. Once the siege becomes a siege, it will be like Li Shimin's attack on Luoyang. It will be long-lasting and difficult to conquer, unless we  The main force that could wipe out Luo Yi in one fell swoop in a field battle was just that Luo Yi was as cunning as a ghost and never refused to fight.?His main force confronts our main force in the wild, so as not to lose in one battle and not even be able to defend the city.  Qi Pushe, what can you do to get Luo Yi to fight this time?  " Qi Yuanrang's face turned slightly red: "This, I have not thought carefully about this, please forgive me, Your Majesty.  " Dou Jiande smiled and waved his hand, looked at Ling Jing who had been silent, and said: "Ling Jijiu, you have always been my number one think tank in Hebei. This time, tell us where our current army of 300,000 people should go.  Where?  "Ling Jing's eyes flashed, he raised his head, looked at Dou Jiande, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Chen thinks that the direction we want to attack now is not Youzhou in the north, but Meng Jiong and Xu Yuan in the land of Qilu.  Lang, once we capture these places, we should march straight into the Central Plains and relieve the siege of Dongdu!  " As soon as these words came out, the whole palace was in an uproar. Most of the civil servants and generals began to talk to each other. Only a few important ministers looked solemn and twisted their beards in silence. Dou Jiande frowned and looked at Ling Jing,  Said: "Send troops to the Central Plains to relieve the siege of the Eastern Capital?  why is that?  What is the benefit of our Hebei soldiers and horses going to the Central Plains to fight Li Shimin's main force of the Tang army?  If it was to save Wang Shichong, why didn't he save him a while ago and why did he save him now?  Ling Jijiu, please speak more clearly.  " Ling Jing's eyes flashed coldly: "Because before, we were sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight, but now both tigers are exhausted, this is the story of how we go to Bianzhuang to assassinate the tigers, and have a great opportunity to conquer the world in one fell swoop!  "
