Chapter 271 Never stop by the Mingshui River

Teams of mighty Xia soldiers walked slowly into Mingzhou with resolute steps. At first glance, there were densely packed troops everywhere.

Gao Yaxian's eyes were covered with blood and his expression was anxious. Seeing Mingzhou City safe and sound, a tense heart relaxed slightly. At this moment, Liu Heita suddenly rushed out and gave him a bear hug: "Old Gao, it's great that you are here!"

"Old Liu!" Gao Yaxian smiled bitterly. Baozhou was six or seven hundred miles away from Mingzhou. In order to arrive in Mingzhou before Chen Ying, Gao Yaxian had hardly seen it in the past five days.

Liu Heita asked with a smile: "How many people have you brought?"

Gao Yaxian said: "The entire army was dispatched, leaving only three hundred elders as sick and disabled to defend Baozhou. At this time, even a bandit can capture Baozhou!"

Liu Heita noticed that among these Xia soldiers, there were densely packed carts filled with supplies, loaded with food and supplies.

Just as Liu Heita was greeting Gao Yaxian, a laugh came from behind: "Han Gongdong, are you safe?"

Liu Heita turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Xidao, the general manager of Zhaozhou.

With the 30,000 troops under Gao Yaxian's army, 14,000 troops under Zhao Xidao's army, 7,000 troops under Shenzhou's general manager Cui Yuanxun, and 50,000 troops under Liu Heita, all arrived in Mingzhou.

The generals of the Xia army gathered together, and Empress Cao came forward to invite the generals who were serving the king. Of course, Empress Cao only showed her face and then returned to the harem to chant Buddha's name to bless the country in Daxia.

As Empress Cao left, the generals drank and chatted, and it was very lively.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Liu Heita put down his wine glass and clashed with Song Zhengben's eyes in the air. The two of them muttered together. After a while, Liu Heita stood up and picked up the wine glass and said, "Everyone, today is a happy day. Our General Gao Da, the general of Baozhou, Zhao Da, Zhao Da, and Shenzhou, General Cui, and our Han East Army all arrived in Mingzhou. Now, under the city of Mingzhou, our Daxia has gathered tens of thousands of troops, which is very strong."

Gao Yaxian Xingcun said: "It's not time to go, our army will take a break. After the soldiers' physical strength is restored, we will fight Chen Ying'er to defeat him in one battle. It is important to know that our Daxia family is not as good as Li Tanghou. They will not be able to hurt their vitality in succession of defeats of tens of thousands of people. We can't make it. The small Mingzhou gathers tens of thousands of troops, and people eat horses and chew them. It's not a small number every day. After a long time, our Daxia can't hold on!"

Liu Heita nodded and said, "I love what Lao Gao said. Actually, I don't plan to waste time with him. I plan to fight Chen Ying'er in three days. I would like to ask all the generals, would you like to fight the Tang army to the end?"

Gao Yaxian threw away his wine glass, slapped the table, pointed at Liu Heita and shouted: "Han Donggong, I don't like listening to you. Our Daxia is not as selfish as the Tang Dynasty. No one has the selfish intention to preserve his strength. If you don't fight Chen Ying, how cool it is at home? After riding for more than 600 miles in five days, the roots of your thighs are grinding blood and blood..."

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" Cui Yuanxun smiled and said, "Three days later, we will fight the Tang army to let Chen Ying'er see the heroic spirit of our Yanzhao men!"

Dong Kang bought it and said with red eyes: "General Cui is right. As long as the Han Donggong gave the order, the soldiers of the entire army will definitely strive forward. Who dares to escape in the face of the battle? Dong's knife will not recognize anyone!"

Liu Heita now needs command of the entire army very much. Looking at Gao Yaxian, the generals present, besides Liu Heita, only Gao Yaxian is the strongest. His troops have more than 30,000 troops, including 5,000 cavalry.

Gao Yaxian said: "Your Majesty authorized the Duke of Han Dong to fully command the battle in Mingzhou, who dared not to obey!"

Hearing this, Liu Heita said: "It's so good. The whole army will rest for three days, so that the leader can make a strong effort, so that the soldiers can eat and drink. After three days, they will have a fight with Chen Ying'er!"

...

That night, Liu Heita delivered the letter of war to Chen Ying. The letter of war is very simple. There are only twelve words: "Three days later, the banks of the Mingshui River will never stop until death!"

When Chen Ying got this war book, he laughed to the sky.

Li Shentong was very worried. The army of Xia Kingdom was serving the king, and tens of thousands of people rushed to Mingzhou. The Tang army's scout just wanted to pretend that he couldn't see it. Li Shentong looked at Chen Ying very resentfully, like a young wife who was guarding the empty room alone.

Looking at Li Shentong's resentful gaze, Chen Ying was startled: "King Huai'an, why do you have this expression?"

"Oh..." Li Shentong sighed, revealing a strong sense of helplessness and reluctance: "General Chen, you missed the opportunity for the fight. Now the Xia army reinforcements have arrived. We have no chance to conquer the capital of a country!"

Even Feng Li showed a deep expression of agreement.

Chen Ying laughed silently, and he smiled and said, "Does the King of Huai'an really think that if this general takes over Mingzhou City, the war will end?"

"Isn't it?" Li Shentong said hesitantly.

"Dou Jiande once captured the King of Huai'an and Princess Tong'an and General Li, but did our Tang Dynasty surrender?" Chen Ying smiled and said, "If this general relied on the initiative and took advantage of the emptiness of Mingzhou City and sneaked into Mingzhou, even if Mingzhou was lost, the general captured Empress Cao and Song Zhengben, would this battle end?"

"It should be over?" Feng Li said uncertainly. But he suddenly remembered that throughout the ages, how could these heroes end a war with one or two hostages?

When Qin's hostage Yiren was in Handan City, Qin launched an attack on Zhao. If Lu Buwei had not bribed the Zhao's gate guards with 600 gold and asked Yiren to take out Handan, Yiren would have no chance to be the King of Qin. In the case of the two sides exchanging hostages, the war would have done whatever it should be, and it would not stop because of one person. Of course, if Dou Jiande was captured, the war would have a chance to end.

"On the contrary, the war will not only not end, but will become more and more intense!" Chen Ying explained with a smile: "Our sneak attack on Mingzhou will only make Hebei soldiers and soldiers and civilians think that they are just careless and lose Jingzhou, so their resistance will not stop. We need to attack one city by one. It is precisely because they still have such a fantasy in their hearts that I gave Liu Heita the opportunity to gather the so-called king-serious army. Once tens of thousands of Xia troops are annihilated under Mingzhou City, it can not only break the fantasy of Hebei people, but also easily defeat Dou Jiande's confidence in resistance."

I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross the Yangtze River.

But wasn’t Dingyu also committed suicide by committing suicide in Wujiang because he was discouraged?

Dou Jiande's situation is similar now. Hebei people work for Chen Ying, which will make Dou Jiande doubt his presence in Hebei. If Chen Ying is on the front battlefield, without taking conspiracies and tricks, he will defeat the enemy with the weak and defeat the more with the few, he will plant the seeds of the invincible Tang army in the hearts of the people of Hebei.

Chen Ying wrote twelve big words: "There is no end to see you on the banks of the Mingshui River, so what I want!"

...

Mingzhou City, inside the city. Song Zhengben looked at Chen Ying’s twelve words in disbelief and asked in confusion: “Han Donggong, Chen Yingzhen agrees that we will fight on the banks of the Mingshui River?”

Liu Heita asked: "What does the Prime Minister of Song mean?"

Song Zhengben said: "I feel a little strange. Chen Ying's command is more than 50,000 troops, and only more than 30,000 soldiers can fight. Our Daxia fights locally. He does not have any advantage. He agrees to the decisive battle so happily?

"Oh? Song Xiang thought that this general shouldn't go to fight?" After hearing Song Zhengben's words, Liu Heita couldn't help but show an interesting expression.

"Hehe, I didn't know at first, but I didn't realize it until later!" Song Zhengben smiled and said, "The Battle of Feishui!"
