Chapter 180: Soldiers can be killed or humiliated

When Chen Ying received the rebellion of Liu Shishan in Hebei, he not only smiled bitterly but also wryly.

Chen Ying tried his best to avoid it, and Li Yuan killed Dou Jiande. However, he was just a minister and could not resist the emperor Li Yuan. In the end, Dou Jiande was killed. In order to avoid the outbreak of the Hebei chaos in history, Chen Ying could only do his best and obey God's will, and first kill Liu Heita, the culprit.

However, history has become extremely rehabilitative. Although Liu Heita was dead, Liu Shishan, an originally unknown minion, stirred up the storm in Hebei.

Seeing Chen Yingzi receiving the lost battle report from Beizhou, the already standing window was silent.

Li Xiuning asked in confusion: "Chen Lang, what are you doing?"

Chen Ying turned around and walked to the door, closing the door hard, as if he wanted to keep these chaotic emotions outside the door. It was a pity that some things were destined. He killed Liu Heita, but Liu Shishan came out.

Chen Ying had doubts about the so-called "those who win the hearts of the people will win the world". In terms of kindness, Dou Jiande was much more kind than Li Yuan. In terms of simplicity and pragmatism, Dou Jiande was still above Li Yuan. He sighed murmurly: "You are a good person, but a good person cannot win the world!"

Of course, Chen Ying also remembered Li Jiancheng in history. Li Jiancheng was kinder than Li Shimin. In terms of governing the world, Li Jiancheng was more than ten times better than Li Shimin, but Li Jiancheng was not as good as Dou Jiande.

Li Xiuning hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Ying and said, "Are you worried about the chaos in Hebei?"

Chen Ying nodded.

Li Xiuning smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry Chen Lang. Even if Liu Shishan succeeds in the conspiracy for a while, it will not last long."

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Maybe!"

"Chen Lang, don't believe it. You are also a leader!" Li Xiuning said: "Not to mention Liu Shishan, even if Dou Jiande is resurrected, he will not be able to stir up the situation... Dou Jiande originated from the grassroots. There are too few officers in the army who have received special training and too few soldiers with combat experience, but the Tang Dynasty is different..."

Chen Ying nodded silently and did not refute. The foundation of Li Tang was already stable, and the people of the world were already tired of war. They all wanted a peaceful and stable life. Whoever launched a conspiracy to war would definitely be abandoned by the people. This is just like Xiang Yu at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Xiang Yu tried to be the emperor of Chu, enfeoffed princes, and commanded the world. However, the people who suffered from hundreds of years of turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were already tired of war. They believed that unity could eliminate the war and allow them to live a peaceful life.

Therefore, Liu Bang can be defeated in every battle and then make a comeback. However, as long as Liu Shishan maintains absolute victory, he can still persist. Once the war is set, he will end up and betray his relatives.

Li Xiuning said: "Our Tang Dynasty received the support of the Guanlong nobles. Most of the generals in the army were from Guanlong nobles, military inheritance, and old foundation of the Eight Pillar Kingdom of the Western Wei Dynasty. These generals were trained in the army since childhood, attacking and killing battle formations, and leading military and horses... For them, these things are as convenient and natural as eating and drinking water..."

Li Xiuning picked up the teacup, reached out to dip his hand in the tea, and gestured on the table: "In the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, the generals of Xue Renguo under the tent, Zhai Changsun, Chu Liang and others surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Battle of Hedong, Liu Wuzhou under the tent, Xunxian, Yuchi Jingde and others surrendered to the Tang Dynasty... These people are warriors who have lived for the rest of their lives, and the courage of Zhang Xinbu!"

Chen Ying praised without hesitation: "Yuchi Jingde is indeed a rare general. Speaking of talent, the King of Qin is ten times more likely to be in the Eastern Palace army.

Chen Ying sneered in despair: "So, although Liu Shishan is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, he will really fight!"

Chen Ying reached out and gestured, explaining: "As such a large battlefield, more than 100,000 people spread out... Sanniang, you have fought for so many years, tell me what will happen?

Li Xiuning said: "More than 100,000 people were fully spread out on the battlefield, and it was difficult for them to communicate with each other. At that time..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiuning's face changed drastically when she heard this: "Will Uncle Wang (Li Shentong) be defeated?"

"I'm sure, fighting is not about fighting the number of people. If you can fight the number of people, everyone doesn't have to fight. Just pull out their own troops and compare the heads!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Every time I fight, I usually invest 20,000 or 30,000 troops, because no matter how many people there are, it will be a situation where each person fights on his own... What will be tested is the command and adaptability of each general, and the combat experience and fighting will of the soldiers. In this regard... Does the King of Huai'an have an advantage over me?"

Li Xiuning was silent, Chen Ying said correctly. Although Li Shentong began to pacify Hebei and Shandong when Li Yuan first founded the Tang Dynasty, he did not have the experience of directly leading troops to fight.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning and smiled sarcastically: "I lost unified command and lost mutual communication. What is this army of more than 100,000 in the eyes of the butcher who sharpened his knife.

Li Xiuning had to smile bitterly and said, "That's more than 100,000 pigs!"

Chen Ying continued to ask: "Does the Tang Dynasty still have advantages?"

...

On the edge of the Raohe River embankment, Liu Shishan, who was riding a horse on the back of a horse, looked at the corpse of Tang Jun's costumes in the river with expressionless face, floating in the river water. It was approaching dusk. The Raohe River embankment looked red under the sunset glow. It was difficult to tell whether the sunset shadows reflected by the sunset glow or blood in the river water.

Liu Shishan looked at Gao Yuan and asked, "Has the results of the battle been counted?"

Gao Yuan bowed and said, "Reporting to the general, it has been counted. In this battle, our Xia army beheaded more than 5,000 levels and captured more than 30,000 Tang troops!"

Liu Shishan stared at Gao Yuan fiercely and shouted: "Level 5,000? Only level 5,000? Such a big battle? Only such a beheading?"

Gao Yuan nodded with an awkward expression and said, "As soon as our ambush came out, they actually started to escape!"

Liu Shishan cut off a spear beside him with one knife and slashed half of the spear to the ground. Liu Shishan said angrily: "Crazy! Are there more than 100,000 enemies just let go?

Cao Zhan looked at Gao Yuan’s embarrassment and immediately came out to rescue the siege, and said in a smooth manner: “General, we have too few people, especially the cavalry, only 3,500 people, and they are all spreading on the front and not too wide, so we can’t keep our holes… Then again, these Tang people… ran too fast, but those Turks, we…”

Liu Shishan nodded and said, "If you are not a clan, your heart will be different. Jie Li Khan thought he was a good player. This general knew that as soon as they were squeezing his butt, I would know what they were pulling. Sooner or later, this general would raise 100,000 elite soldiers, step on the north of the desert, and press the Turks to death in the urine pit!"

The soldiers of the Xia army in Hebei laughed loudly when they heard this.

Liu Shishan looked around the generals and shouted: "Although this battle was not fully accomplished, it defeated the morale of the enemy. Within a few months, the Tang army no longer had the courage to fight with our army. Taking advantage of this gap, let's assign a task. Gao Yuan, you lead a group of troops to fight north from Cizhou and open up a channel to connect with the Turks as soon as possible. At present, we still need the support of the Turks and tell the Turks that if you want the fisherman to benefit, you must first show sincerity. This general lacks horses and asks them to take out 30,000 war horses."

Gao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Dare not to accept the order!"

Liu Shishan took a deep breath and said, "The most urgent task at the moment is to find the princess as soon as possible. King Xia has no descendants, only one princess is still alive. We must support the princess of the line girl and completely restore the foundation of King Xia."

The generals nodded in order.

At this moment, a Xia army general pulled a Tang army to Kedi, but could not get into the crowd for a while.

The general of the Xia army muttered toward Gaoyuan blocking the road: "Just let me catch a prisoner..."

Gao Yuan waved his hand angrily and said, "You should deal with it yourself, the general is giving in to military affairs."

Seeing that everyone ignored him, the Xia army general simply shouted at the top of his voice: "I have captured a prisoner!"

Gao Yuan turned around and looked at it. He muttered, "The armor on his body is pretty good... I'll leave it for me..."

The Xia army general shouted: "He has a golden seal on him..."

Everyone calmed down in one sentence.

Liu Shishan separated everyone and walked out, looking at Li Shentong who fainted. Liu Shishan rushed over and picked up Li Shentong, wiped the blood and mud stains on his face and looked carefully: "Li Shentong, it's interesting, please understand him!"

A Xia army soldier walked towards the Raohe River with a wooden barrel. Another Xia army soldier muttered, "It's really troublesome!"

As he said that, he untied his belt while taking out the man's indescribable thing and peed on Li Shentong's face.

Li Shentong slowly woke up after washing his face with urine.

Li Shentong, who was originally in shock, looked at the Xia army generals with a look of great fear and anxiety. Suddenly, Li Shentong looked at a Xia army soldier, holding a male indescribable object and aimed at his face. Li Shentong's face turned red, and he climbed up and rushed towards the Xia army soldier. While pulling and biting, he said ferociously: "Soldiers can be killed but not humiliated, I will fight with you!"

Liu Shishan looked at Li Shentong and said in a secret way: "Where is the golden seal?"

The Xia army general took out a golden seal, Liu Shishan took it, looking at the Yangwen seal on it - King Huai'an!

Liu Shishan held the golden seal and fiddled in his hand for a while. He smiled and turned around and looked at the generals and said, "You all have a good look. This is Li Tang's Huai'an King Li Shentong!"

The Xia army soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield everywhere raised their heads at the same time. They stopped their work at the same time and stood up straight and looked in the direction of Gao Gang.

Liu Shishan flew on his horse, rushed to the highest point of the river embankment, pulled out his long sword and shouted: "Catch Li Shentong!"

The Xia army soldiers on the battlefield shouted one after another: "Catch Li Shentong!"

Gao Yuan roared: "Long live the Great Xia, long live the Great General!"

The Tang soldiers on the battlefield cheered excitedly, holding their weapons and flags.
