    Dongdu, Luoyang, Beicheng City.  Wang Shichong looked relaxed, wearing a general's robe and armor, leaning on the battlements. His deep green eyes looked at the Tang Army camp outside the city, as well as the long wall. Behind the wall, in the camp  People were coming and going in the Tang Army camp, and groups of Tang Army officers and soldiers were training enthusiastically in the open spaces of each camp.  Wang Shichong's lips curled up: "It seems that the morale of the Tang army is good. Li Shimin has fought well at Hulao Pass recently, which has also inspired Li Yuanji here a lot. The current defense is also in good shape."  "Wei Zheng stood aside with a serious look on his face and sighed: "I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, but I'm afraid of comparing goods. Dou Xia's army is coming with great force, but looking at the city in front of Hulao Pass, I sighed. In the past few days, the Tang army has been dispatched.  Guan was defeated by the formation, and there was no chance to attack the city. I heard that the morale of the Xia army was low, and the fighting spirit was low.  I'm afraid Dou Jiande has already retreated." Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuancheng, Dou Jiande came back to seize the whole world. He wants to eat the main force of the Tang army and us, and he will never give up. This retreat is equivalent to withdrawing from the competition.  The ranks of the world are no longer qualified. It is lucky to be able to protect oneself. Therefore, everyone can withdraw, but he will not." At this point, Wang Shichong curled his lips and said, "It's actually okay for us to be surrounded by the Tang army.  It's not a bad thing. At least, the soldiers and civilians in the city don't know about the fighting situation in Hulao. Only through Yang Xuangan's Flying Eagle Letter do we know the situation there very well. Recently, more rice and grain have been put out, and the people have porridge.  Drink, you don¡¯t have to chew on the cake, and no one will complain anymore.¡± When Wei Zheng¡¯s expression changed, he almost vomited. Wang Shichong laughed:  "What's wrong, Xuancheng, I lost a bet last time and ate a piece of crumbled pie. Why are you still reacting so badly now? I'm just being generous and won't let you eat it for a day. Why do you insist on eating it?  " Wei Zheng vomited a few mouthfuls of yellow sticky substance and vomited it down the city wall. He took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and said unconvinced: "I'm willing to admit defeat. I said I'll eat for a day, and I'll eat for a day. To be honest, then  The cake is too unpalatable, why don't you kill me? Last time, my lord, you just ate a piece without changing your expression, and it still tasted delicious. I really can't imagine how you pretended to be so!" Wang Shichong shook his head with a smile!  Shaking his head: "Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills. Xuancheng, you still need to practice more in this area, otherwise, how can you deceive the people's hearts? Well, let's not talk about this, let's talk about military affairs. Let me ask you, if  You are Dou Jiande, what will you do now?" Wei Zheng pondered for a moment and said thoughtfully: "I will find a way to let Hebei continue to increase troops, step up the construction of siege equipment, and at the same time get in touch with Yang Xuangan and urge him to hurry up.  They circled behind Hulao Pass and attacked from both sides. "Wang Shichong waved his hand: "He has already taken away the elite main force in Hebei. The other troops have to defend against Luo Yi in the north and Li Jiancheng in the west. The pressure is very high, so there is no possibility of redeployment.  ? As for Yang Xuangan, he has driven Yang Xuangan away, so how can he order Yang Xuangan to do things again? The two armies don't even have basic command and mutual trust. Even if Yang Xuangan is really behind Hulao Pass at this time, I'm afraid  They all have their own way, and there is no interaction. Neither of these two methods will work." Wei Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up: "If the frontal attack fails, the only way is to take a detour. Now the main force of the Tang Army is in the Central Plains. I heard that half of it is possible.  A few months ago, Li Jiancheng withheld military rations from Bingzhou, which angered Li Yuan and recalled him to Chang'an. Now the Tang army in Bingzhou was leaderless and defenseless. If Dou Jiande did not attack Hulao at this time, but instead marched the entire army north and crossed the river.  By entering Bingzhou, it is possible to capture all the land in Bingzhou at once. Once he is allowed to capture Longmen Ferry or Puban, Guanzhong will be shocked. Li Shimin's Central Plains Tang Army will probably have to withdraw to Guanzhong to defend his hometown.  Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuan Cheng is Xu Cheng. In this case, we can find the best solution. Yes, if Dou Jiande does this, it is his best choice. He wants to eat Li Shimin and us in one bite, but  Over the past month or so, he should have realized that he did not have the strength to defeat Li Shimin even with half of his troops guarding Hulao, let alone a decisive battle with Li Tangpingyuan.  If he can take advantage of this opportunity to get Bingzhou, it will be the biggest gain for him. But Xuancheng, do you think Dou Jiande will choose this plan?  " Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Some of his counselors and civil servants should choose this plan, but the military generals were bribed by Changsun Anshi, so I am afraid they will strongly oppose it. As for Dou Jiande himself, my lord has analyzed it and he still can't let go of the Central Plains.  , He can't let go of the world. I don't expect him to be willing to quit like this. If he doesn't take the state, then there is only one option, which is to show weakness deliberately and lure the Tang army to come out for a decisive battle!  ¡± Wang ?Chong laughed and patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder: "Xuancheng, your idea is exactly the same as mine. When the victory between the Tang and Xia armies is determined, it will almost be the day when we have to fight the winner, so be prepared  Get ready, we haven¡¯t left the city for half a year, it¡¯s time to move!¡± Outside Hulao Pass, the Xia Army¡¯s camp, the Chinese Army¡¯s headquarters.  There was silence in the tent. The soaring momentum that Xia Jun had when he first arrived more than a month ago was gone this time. From Dou Jiande to the generals and officers of the civil and military classes, all of them looked solemn and said nothing.  .  Dou Jiande's eye sockets were sunken and he looked much more haggard than he had been more than a month ago. His eyes looked around the tent, and his voice was low and calm: "Everyone, our army has been at a disadvantage in repeated battles for more than a month, and has not even been able to formulate a plan to attack key problems.  The battle is now blocked here by the Tang army and cannot advance. There is always the danger of a sneak attack by the Tang army in Hebei. Now it is time to decide whether to fight or leave. Everyone can speak freely today and use your wisdom, because  , This battle is related to the rise and fall of our Great Xia!" Meng Jiigong gritted his teeth, stood up from the queue, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we have been fighting here for more than a month, and thousands of our brothers have been killed, and several of our generals have been killed.  Since Xia started his army, he has rarely suffered such a loss. If we leave without victory this time, the whole army will be afraid of the Tang army. They are afraid that Li Shimin will kill Wang Shichong first and come back to Hebei to kill us. Please do it, your Majesty.  Think twice!¡±
