The eldest grandson Anshi became more and more excited as he talked, dancing and saying: "Taking a step back, even if we reach Bingzhou, won't Li Tang rescue Bingzhou? It's not that they don't have troops in Bingzhou, Luo Yi and Guanzhong's troops can also support them at any time, how can they It's so easy to defeat. If the enemy forces defend the city, where will the king take a detour? If he retreats this time, will he be able to face difficulties next time if he attacks Luoyang? The victorious army returns to Bingzhou. How will the king deal with it then? " Having said this, Changsun Anshi looked at the Xia army generals standing aside and said loudly: "Generals and heroes, what do you think? Isn¡¯t that true?! Are you afraid of Li Shimin?¡± These Xia Jun generals have already received many bribes from Changsun Anshi, and they have given him many good words. Sometimes people are short-handed, and when we need to express our stance, of course we can no longer continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Meng Jiong stood up directly, pulled out his long sword, and said directly: "We would rather die in battle than be a coward. Otherwise, how can we behave when we return to Hebei? Brothers, don't you think so?" Gao Ya Xian laughed, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, Brother Yin and Brother Shi died at the hands of the Tang army. If they don't avenge this revenge and Hua Qiangguo doesn't save them, they just go back. What kind of heroes are we three?" A hundred thousand troops can fill Hulao Pass even with human lives. How long can Li Shimin divide his troops to guard the pass? " Fan Yuan also stepped forward with his sword and sneered at Ling Jing: "Ling Jijiu, you? It¡¯s just a scholar¡¯s ??view. He doesn¡¯t know that we hot-blooded men can cut off their heads and bleed, but they can¡¯t lose their momentum. To ask us to take a detour at this time is to give in to the Tang army and to lose trust in the prince. How can such a thing happen? Can you do it?" Dou Jiande laughed, stood up, and said loudly: "Okay, very good, this is what we Hebei men want. With this momentum, what enemy can't be defeated? " As he spoke, he turned to Ling Jing, saluted seriously, and said: "Ling Jijiu, it's not that your method is not good, it's just that it's not in line with the military's morale to be opportunistic and avoid the enemy's sharpness. As you can see, the military Fighting with the mind, the soldiers want to fight, not because they are weak in military morale as you said, so your premise is not valid. We have this momentum and the will to fight, so why worry about Li Shimin not being defeated? Sir, please don't say anything more. !" Ling Jing stamped his feet anxiously and said loudly: "Your Majesty, how can a group of impulsive and reckless men decide this matter?" Dou Jiande's expression changed and he sneered: "Many years ago. These reckless men are the ones who came to help Gu conquer the country in Hebei Province. They will fight with real swords and guns on the battlefield. Ling Jijiu, I see you are a little angry. Go down and calm down!" He waved his hand and said, The sergeant stepped forward and supported or half-carried Ling Jing toward the outside of the tent. Ling Jing's voice still followed the wind and came from far outside the tent: "Your Majesty, think twice. I don't need to say anything, you will regret it." !¡± Dou Jiande curled his lips in disdain: ¡°Okay, everyone, we have decided to fight. Since we want to fight, we must move forward vigorously. We must not conserve our strength and be in a dilemma. After returning to camp, we must organize our troops. , Encourage the soldiers to prepare for the decisive battle!" All the generals fisted their breastplates and shouted: "Promise!" At night, Dou Jiande's sleeping tent was in the middle of the Xia army. A female general wearing leather armor and a military uniform was Dou Jiande's queen Cao. Under the dim light, she was removing Dou Jiande's armor piece by piece. Dou Jiande was in a good mood today and laughed. "Madam, do you know that the eldest grandson Anshi only used a few words today to make all the generals angry and eager to fight." Mrs. Cao sighed softly and said for Dou Jiande He took off the Mingguang armor on his chest, piled the set of armor pieces in a corner, and said quietly: "But I think Mr. Ling said it very well. You don't listen to him because of your impulsiveness. Isn't it a bit too much?" Dou Jiande's lips curled up, and he knelt down in front of a low table and said, "Why, after Ling Jing left, did he come to you again to give advice?" Mrs. Cao nodded, Sitting opposite Dou Jiande, on this small table, except for a dim small oil lamp, there were only three or four food dishes. There were only some vegetables such as radish, tofu, and vegetables, and a few shredded meats were vaguely visible. , and two bowls of yellow millet rice were in front of the couple of Xia kings and queens. Although Dou Jiande was the king and generous in giving rewards to his subordinates, he and his wife were frugal and extremely frugal. , probably only Yang Jian can compare with him. Therefore, his ability to quickly win over people's hearts and achieve hegemony in Hebei cannot but be said to be due to the true nature of this civilian hero. Dou Jiande picked up the rice bowl and began to pick up the vegetables, and said: "Tell me,What new views does Ling Jing have that can make me change my views? " Mrs. Cao put food into Dou Jiande's rice bowl and said, "Mr. Ling said that if we leave Taihang in the east and enter the Pass through Fukou Xing, the avenue is very wide and we can advance in a row with a huge momentum. Places like Xia County are loyal to us and hate Li Tang very much, so they will definitely raise troops to respond. It is very easy for us to merge into the state. The local Tang army cannot control the countryside and can only shrink into a few big cities. By then, the state will be ours. , Liu Wuzhou can do this, let alone us. " "Moreover, if Bingzhou is lost, the Turks will definitely raise troops to attack Guanzhong. It's not that we don't have help. The Tang army in the Central Plains can only retreat to Guanzhong at this time. Then won't the siege of Luoyang be solved? Jiande, please think about it again! I think what Mr. Ling said makes sense and is really for our own good. " Without saying a word, Dou Jiande put his rice bowl directly on the table and threw his chopsticks heavily on the table. He stood up and said angrily: "This is a major military matter. What do you, a woman, know? Ling Jing only wanted to take advantage of me, but never thought about my situation? " "Coming back to save Luoyang now is my declaration to the whole world that I will come to save Wang Shichong. This is faith, madam. Back then, when we traveled around the world and became recognized as heroes, wasn't it based on this kind of faith? Now Luoyang is right in front of us, only separated by Hulao Pass, but we took a detour. No matter how beautiful the reason is, people in the world will say that we are afraid of the enemy and betray our trust, and we are not heroes at all. I, Dou Jiande, can cut off my head and bleed, and I must not be underestimated. Today I have issued an order for a decisive battle. The military order is like a mountain and cannot be taken back! " Mrs. Cao let out a long sigh, raised her bowl and raised her eyebrows: "I respectfully wish the king a victory! " (.)
