Chapter 770: The Supreme Master of the Great Xia

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Wei County fell.

Only one day before the Chinese New Year, the news spread to the Yanyun Army camp of Fanshui. This news made everyone's joy of the Chinese New Year fade. Since the attack on Hebei, the Yanyun Army has rarely suffered one defeat. Xu Shiji led his troops with caution without losing his ambition. In the face of great loss of strength of the Xia army and his morale were sluggish, the Xia army led by Wang Fubao and the Yanyun Army had never won the battle.

However, since the beginning of winter, Wang Fubao led his troops to strictly prevent them from fighting. In the cold winter, the Yanyun Army's offensive was difficult to launch. Several attacks were strictly guarded by Wang Fubao. Even though Xu Shiji had a lot of strategies, he could only make a quit for the time being.

It is a shame for the Xia army to defend blindly. It is not glorious to say that the enemy is forced to leave the city on the territory of Daxia. But defense is of great benefit to the Xia army. Although the Yanyun army does not lack food, the food route is too long. The weather is severe and the grain transport team is difficult to move forward. There are a lot of floating ice on the Yellow River, and the fleet has also returned to Juyeze to rest. For the Yanyun army in Hebei, they face far greater difficulties than the Xia army.

Therefore, as long as Wang Fubao does not go to fight, he is consuming the combat power of Yanyun Army.

Whether it is transporting grain from Xingluo Cang or Liyang Cang, it is thousands of miles away. Such a long grain road consumes a lot of money and grain along the way. Based on the calculation that thousands of people are protecting grain, from Xingluo Cang to Hebei, the food consumed along the way will go ten or two or three times, and when there is rain and snow, the loss will be greater.

Although the road is close to transporting grain from Dongping County, Qi County and Lu County, the ships transporting grain must be careful when crossing the river through the Yellow River.

Everyone thought that this would be a stalemate in winter, and Yan Yun's army waited until Chun Nuan to attack again. The Xia army also took advantage of the winter to rest and accumulate strength to prepare for a counterattack.

But at this moment, Wang Fubao's counterattack came.

Although Wei County is a small place, its strategic location is extremely important at this time. Xu Shiji personally led a large army to station in the Yaocheng area of ​​Weijun, Zhang Liang led a hundred thousand troops to station in the Guantao County area, and Wang Fubao led his troops to capture Wei County, which was equivalent to wedging a nail between Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang.

If it weren't for Fanshui and Xue Wanche's 50,000 troops, Yan Yun's army's front would have been cut into two sections by Wang Fubao's sword. Xu Shiji and Zhang Liang's men were not allowed to contact each other, and it was difficult to take care of each other from the beginning to the end.

Fanshui County is only about a hundred miles away from Wei County. When Wei Yong's personal troops were Zhao Xiaosan, who rushed out of the siege and rushed to Fanshui, Wei County was already lost.

Wei Yong was gone, and nearly 4,000 Yanyun's army was slaughtered.

In this battle, after the Xia army conquered Wei County, no living gulf was left. Nearly 4,000 corpses were thrown off the city wall by the Xia army, and they were discarded in the wilderness outside the city, without burying them, and ignored them. The corpses were frozen as hard as stones outside the city, becoming a meal for the lonely wolf and wild dogs to spend the winter.

The person who gave this order was Wang Fubao's adopted son Wang Wu.

The young general Wang Zhuo was only seventeen years old and was deeply loved by Wang Fubao. Wang Fubao had not married for half his life, and although he and Dou Hongsheng still had a close connection. However, Empress Cao and Dou Jiande both opposed this marriage, and the two could only be sad. Dou Hongsheng was angry and found a nun to become a monk and nun to practice. She never ignored the matters in the Daxia Dynasty.

A hero among the females who have made many achievements on the battlefield is accompanied by the ancient Buddha of Qinglantern.

Wang Fubao was loyal to Dou Jiande. Although he knew that Dou Jiande did not trust him, he still took on the burden of defending Daxia. Without him, Xu Shiji would not have been able to hit the city of Mingzhou in one breath before the beginning of winter.

After Xue Wanche, who was stationed in the water, saw Zhao Xiaosan, he heard him telling him about the incident. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes and his face became solemn.

The location of Wei County is indeed very important.

"How many troops do the Xia army attack the city?"

In the lobby of Fanshui County Government, Xue Wanche leaned over and asked Zhao Xiaosan who was standing below: "Who is the one who led the troops to attack the city?"

"It was too dark, and I saw that the enemy was wearing white robes. He secretly sneaked under the city wall under the heavy snow, and climbed the city wall with the hook and lasso. General... The city wall of Wei County was too short! When Bei Yi led his men out of the city for help, the Xia army had already attacked the city. It seemed that there were no less than tens of thousands of people... The general who led the army should be Wang Fubao himself. The enemy general who led the army to attack the city was not old, so I don't know who it was."

"Ten thousand people..."

Xue Wanche frowned slightly, pondered for a while and said, "You go down and rest. Your general is afraid that he has died in battle... Sadly, I will avenge your general."

"General Thank you!"

Zhao Xiaosan wiped his tears and bowed and retreated.

"Dezheng..."

Xue Wanche turned his head and looked at the man in brocade clothes standing beside him, frowned slightly and asked, "The New Year will be celebrated tomorrow... If you lead your army to counterattack Wei County immediately, I am afraid that the soldiers will be very resistant... But if you don't take Wei County back immediately, the general will definitely be unhappy."

"General"

The person who is de Zheng, who looks thin man in his thirties, wearing brocade clothes, obviously has fame and fame. However, he is not wearing official uniforms, which seems a bit strange.

"I'm thinking, Wang Fubao really just wants to attack Wei County?"

His name is Cui Qian, the head of the family of the Cui clan of Boling.

When he sent someone to Chang'an secretly, intending to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Just as Ashinaduoduo led the grassland cavalry south, he had to seek protection. As Xu Shiji led the army north, the people he sent felt that it was not easy to travel thousands of miles to Chang'an, so he simply went directly to see Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji knew the influence of the Boling Cui clan. If the Cui clan surrendered, it would be easier to take over the land in Hebei, so he sent someone to recruit Cui Qian to serve in the army. Xue Wanche and Xue Wan were both promoted by Xu Shiji because of their great defeat of Dou Jiande and promoted Xue Wanche to the fourth-rank Wu Ben General, leading 50,000 troops to station in Fanshui.

...

...

Cui Qian is the head of the famous Kui family in Boling, and his influence is not only not just the land of Boling. There are many children of the Cui family who are officials in Daxia. He can serve in Yanyun Army in person, which is definitely a good thing for Yanyun Army.

When Xu Shiji recruited Cui Qian to come to his army, he forced Cui to express his opinion. According to the truth, the head of the Cui family would never leave Boling so easily and simply. But when Cui Qian came, everyone was surprised.

Xu Shiji asked the Cui family for an attitude, and the attitude given by the Cui family was obviously beyond expectations.

Because Cui Qian's identity is a bit special, Xu Shiji was not able to arrange his position when he entered the Yanyun army, so he simply asked him to work in Xue Wanche's army. Although he had no official position, his identity in the army was like a chief historical. In the Fanshui Yanyun army, his status was second only to Xue Wanche.

This person is meticulous and flexible, and Xue Wanche respects him very much.

"Dezheng, what do you mean?"

Xue Wanche asked.

Cui Qian was once a general in the Great Sui army and followed Emperor Yang Guang of the Daye to conquer Liaodong. Later, he became an official under Luo Yi, Zhuo County, and once became the governor of Zhuo County. At the beginning of the Great Sui rebellion, he resigned and returned home. Because Luo Yi was powerful in Boling Cui's family, he did not make any trouble for him.

Cui Qian walked to the front of the map, pointed to several places where Yan Yun's army was stationed, and connected it with charcoal pens: "The general is in Yaocheng, we are in Fanshui, General Zhang is in Guantao... Wei County is in the northwest of Fanshui, and is closest to Wang Fubao's men."

After connecting the line, he glanced at Xue Wanche: "General, look."

After the line was drawn, the situation suddenly became clear.

"I see!"

Xue Wanche seemed straightforward, but in fact he was very scheming. He only took a look and understood Cui Qian's meaning: "Wang Fubao was not Wei County's idea."

Cui Qian nodded and said, "Although Wei County is extremely important, when Wei County is lost, the Xia army advanced more than a hundred miles forward, like wedging into a nail in our army's front. But... this nail is not wedged deep enough!"

"Wang Fubao's intention was to cut off the connection between the general and General Zhang. But it was still far from just conquering Wei County..."

"Attack Wei County..."

Xue Wanche pondered for a while and said, "He set up a hike in the middle of the way to lead the army to rescue him. If he really wanted to cut off the connection between the general and General Zhang, I am in the water... I am what Wang Fubao wants to deal with. A Wei County is indeed not enough... Wang Fubao is very good at calculating."

He looked at Cui Qian and asked, "Dezheng, have you thought of a way to defeat the enemy?"

"If we don't lead our army back to Wei County immediately, the morale of the Xia army will definitely be greatly encouraged. If we rushed over like this, we will be hit by Wang Fubao's plan to lure the enemy."

Cui Qian thought about it and said, "But he still has to fight."

He approached Xue Wanche and whispered a few words. Xue Wanche's eyes lit up, and then nodded vigorously.

...

...

Wei County

On the city wall, Wang Fubao, wearing silver armor, looked at the corpse of Yan Yunjun outside the city and couldn't help but frown slightly. Throwing the corpse of Yan Yunjun outside the city was the order of his adopted son Wang. In any case, doing so would be unethical. Since ancient times, even if both sides have a deep hatred, there have been few abuses of the corpses of enemy soldiers.

There are many people who kill prisoners of war, and few people who abuse corpses.

"Brave first"

He looked back at the king standing on the side of God and roared: "Tell me why I did this."

"Father."

Wang Yao raised his head and looked at Wang Fubao's eyes and said, "The war between the two armies will not humiliate the corpse. This is the truth that has been passed down since time immemorial, but the truth is what people say, and talent is the truth. The situation is different now... In the past six months, we have been defeated repeatedly, and the soldiers are almost unable to exude the anger of the enemy. They are even afraid of the enemy."

He paused and said, "If the soldiers do not have a cruel heart, how can they be brave enough to move forward? The children do this just to make the soldiers feel refreshed to take revenge. Slaughter all the enemies, throw the bodies in the wilderness, and let the wild dogs bite and swallow them. The soldiers will relieve their hatred when they see it. This is the reason."

"Only by letting the soldiers lose their fear and letting them know that the enemy is also human, but only two hands and feet, without three heads and six arms, they will muster up the courage to lose. When the battle is over, courage is the most important thing."

“It’s a little bit extreme.”

Wang Fubao shook his head: "Although you said something, you took it for granted."

Wang Hu picked the corner of his mouth, obviously disagreed with Wang Fubao's words. But he still bowed his head and said respectfully: "Please teach my father."

"You just want to relieve the soldiers' hatred, did you think of it?"

Wang Fubao pointed to the corpses outside the city and said seriously and seriously: "Will the soldiers think that if one day they are defeated...will the enemy treat their bodies like this?If one day they are defeated and the enemy revenges, will it harm the innocent people? Among the people...their wives, children and families are mostly."

Wang Hu's face changed slightly, but his eyes were still cold and arrogant.

"As long as you don't lose anymore."

He stood up straight, looked at the corpses and said, "If one day I am really defeated... Then what if the corpses are trampled by the enemy? If they are defeated, they are defeated. Where can they be dignified? The most disgusting sentence is that even if they are defeated, they are still honorable... Since they are defeated, there is no honor? Since they are defeated, why care about that skin? Swallowed by a wild dog and pecked by a vulture is the end of the loser, and there is no need for sympathy. Dignity... has always belonged to the winner only."

Wang Fubao was stunned, but didn't say anything.

Wang Wu walked slowly to Wang Fubao, stood at the edge of the city wall and pointed to the distance and said, "This is the territory of Daxia. The Yanyun bandits burned, killed and looted this territory, and robbed the people, grain, villages, and cities of Daxia... Why do you still have kindness to them? As long as it is an enemy, no matter whether he is a living person or a corpse, he will be punished."

He said word by word: "You never need kindness or mercy to deal with the enemy. Severe punishment of killing is the only way. Only by killing all enemies fear, killing them to the idea of ​​invading our Daxia again, and killing them to the point where even the Daxia army sets on their territory, they dare not resist... This is the truth, this is the war..."

"A pure war of blood."

"Why should we be kind and righteous to our enemies? Even if it is a corpse?"

Wang Fubao murmured and repeated it. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Maybe you are right."

"War, no need for emotion."

The king roared and said, "A man kills a man, and a man comes, and a man kills ten thousand people... and use killing to defeat the enemy, and the enemy will not dare to come. Then we will kill back, and the enemy robs us of a grain of food, and we will rob his entire granary. The enemy kills me a commoner, and we will slaughter his city. The enemy destroys my acre of fertile land, and we will let him scorched earth thousands of miles..."

"If so, Daxia is the only one!"
