Xingyang City.

Two days later, Dou Jiande learned that the Liyang Cang on the north bank of the Yellow River and the side of Tongji Canal was captured by a Dahua army of thousands of troops at night. He was shocked and his face turned pale. It was his rear granary and it was of great significance. Although it had just been conquered, the grain inside was just used by the Xia army in Xingyang, so there was no need to transport grain from Changle County, Hebei.

At present, this is his supply land, and there must be no loss. Moreover, it is Hebei. Dahua has not yet attacked Hebei, but is just attacking Luoyang. Therefore, after discussing with civil officials and military generals, Dou Jiande decided to send troops to encircle and suppress the Dahua army.

Su Dingfang said anxiously: "It is a taboo for military strategists to go deep into the army alone. These Dahua soldiers must have been putting life and death long ago. Now they are not worried about siege and recapture Liyang Cang. They are worried that they will burn hundreds of thousands of stones of food and grass in the city, causing our army's supply problems and forced to withdraw their troops!"

Dou Jiande asked: "How long can the food and grass in Xingyang last?"

Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Ling Jing replied: "A hundred thousand army, just two months of food and grass!"

Dou Jiande nodded and said, "That's enough. Even if the dead soldiers from Dahua burn the granary, our army will have time to recruit from Hebei, which will only increase the supply and transportation pressure in the rear."

Gao Yaxian said: "I think that since Dahua's soldiers and horses sneaked into the granary and did not burn it immediately, they would definitely be reluctant to burn it. After all, hundreds of thousands of stones of food inside are enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to eat for two or three years in this chaotic world. Is Dahua not moved? They dare to burn the granary, which is a source of anger among the people of the world. After all, many places are in trouble and cannot eat food and starve to death. If Dahua burned so much food to attack the Xia army, the people of the world would definitely resent Dahua's unkindness! Luo Cheng's previous performance in seeking fame and reputation would not destroy his reputation!"

"It makes sense, so we will block the Dahua soldiers from not being able to burn food and grass, so we must send someone to take it back."

General Wang Fubao clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to lead the army to capture the city!"

Dou Jiande nodded. The generals in the army, Zhang Qingte, had already been killed, and only Wang Fubao, Su Dingfang, and Xu Yuanlang were among the generals.

This matter is of great importance and a good general must be sent to make him feel at ease, so Dou Jiande allowed it.

"General Wang, I will give you 30,000 troops, including 5,000 light cavalry, quickly cross the river north, seize Liyangcang City, and capture the Dahua army in one place."

"I obey the order!" Wang Fubao accepted the imperial edict and ordered his troops to set off that day, heading north to capture Liyangcang.

.........

The news that Wang Fubao led his army to leave Xingyang was soon passed back to Hulao Pass.

After Luo Zhaoyun learned of the information, he felt very satisfied and was all under his strategic plan. At present, the news of his commander-in-chief has not spread and is still in a confidential state. Even most generals here are not clear, and only the generals above the lieutenant know that if the strict order is reported, they will not be punished.

So the Xia army did not know that Emperor Dahua was at Hulao Pass, looking down at them, like prey staring at the ingredients, waiting for the division and encirclement to annihilate.

"Dou Jiande finally took the bait and divided 30,000 troops to head north. There were only 80,000 troops in Xingyang area."

Qu Tutong clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, if we can lead Dou Jiande out, fight against the Xia army outside the Kuang, and do not attack the city, then our chances of victory will be even greater."
