The most powerful fool system

　Handan City was also something the Sui army couldn't get around.

　If Xu Feng wants to fight Dou Jiande's capital Yongnian City, he must take Handan.

　Similarly, Dou Jiande is also very aware of this point, so Handan City is basically his best line of defense, making him never dare to give up.

　For this reason, he asked generals Wu Qingsuo and Yang Yu to lead the army, leading the last elite of the Xia army with 8 horses, and forcibly conscripted tens of thousands of young and strong men, preparing to defend Handan City to the death.

　At the same time, Dou Jiande was finally persuaded by his advisers, put down his proud head, and sent envoys to Chang'an City to ask Li Tang for help.

　In fact, at this moment, in Chang'an City, Li Yuan was also debating whether to send troops to attack Dongdu while Xu Feng was leading the army to attack Dou Jiande.

　At this time, the courtiers under Li Yuan's command were mainly divided into two factions.

　This faction is the anxious faction headed by Li Er. They advocate that troops should be sent immediately to attack Dongdu at this time.

　The other faction, headed by Li Jian, is the de-escalation faction. They believe that this is not the best time for them to send troops.

　Li Jiancheng and the others wanted to let Xu Feng lead the Sui army, fight with Dou Jiande in Hebei for a while, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman.

　The reason why Li Jiancheng had this idea was because he didn't believe that Xu Feng could defeat Dou Jiande in a short time under the leadership of the Sui army.

　They believed that with Dou Jiande's strength at this time, Xu Feng led the Sui army to go north to crusade, and the outcome was between five and five.

　In the end, this time, Li Yuan chose to believe in Li Jiancheng's group, just to let Li Tang's army gather, but for the time being, he had no intention of leaving Tongguan east.

　It didn't happen until the middle of March, when the envoy sent by Dou Jiande rushed to Chang'an City, met Li Yuan, and asked Li Yuan to form an alliance and let Li Yuan send troops to help.

　Only then did Li Yuan learn about the previous battle of Yaocheng, and the news that Xu Feng led the Sui army, defeated the strong with the weak, and defeated the Xia army.

　"How could this be?"

　Li Yuan was both surprised and frightened when he heard the news.

　The combat power displayed by the Sui army caused a deep sense of fear in Li Yuan's heart.

　Once Xu Feng is allowed to destroy Dou Jiande, Li Yuan can know with his ass that the next target of the Sui army will definitely be their Li Tang.

　"Father, my son, please fight. Please, father, order to send troops immediately, let my son lead the army out of Tongguan, and attack Dongdu."

　Li Er was completely anxious, and asked Li Yuan to fight.

　Because, the Sui army had only less than two months to eat the main force of the Xia army under Dou Jiande's command in the first battle. This kind of record convinced Li Er.

　"Okay, King Qin, I will give you 20 troops, and how long you promise to take Dongdu."

　At this time, Li Yuan finally made a decision, agreed to send troops to attack the Eastern Capital, and asked Li Er.

　"Father, my son promises that within a month, we will win the Eastern Capital."

　Li Er promised.

　"Okay, you go to order soldiers and set off as soon as possible."

　On March 20th, Li Er took his eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Duan Zhixuan, Xu Maogong, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other counselors, fierce generals, and led [-] Tang troops out of Tongguan to the east to kill.

　"Xia Envoy, go back and tell Emperor Xia that I, Li Tang, have sent troops to attack Dongdu.

　Tell him to hold on in Hebei. When we take down Dongdu, the soldiers under the faint king Yang Guang will get the news, and the army will be in chaos.

　At that time, it is your chance to fight back.

　After the king leads the army to take down the Eastern Capital, he will lead the army northward and join you in attacking the troops of the faint king Yang Guang, and he will surely kill Yang Guang at that time. "

　After Li Er left Tongguan, he said this to the envoy Xia who was about to return to Hebei to return to Dou Jiande.

　"Thank you, King Qin, this envoy will definitely tell His Majesty, King Qin's words when I go back.

　This envoy is also here. I wish King Qin all the best in his trip to the Eastern Capital. We are waiting for His Highness in Hebei. "

　"it is good!"

　So far, Dou Jiande and Li Yuan have officially formed an alliance.

　Then, Li Er led 20 Tang troops to the east capital in a mighty manner, with great ambitions, ready to show his strength.

　According to Li Er's thinking, Xu Feng's ability to defeat Dou Jiande's Xia army's main force so quickly must have gathered all the elite of the Sui army under him.

　At this time, the Eastern Capital City must be empty.

　As long as he can lead the army to capture the Eastern Capital, and then attack the Sui army with Dou Jiande in the north, defeat the Sui army, and kill Yang Guang.

　At that time, his prestige will rise again, and he will truly become famous all over the world. Heroes from all over the world will come to vote.

　In this way, in the future, he will have enough capital to compete for the throne with his eldest brother, Prince Li Jiancheng.

　But unfortunately, Li Er's beautiful idea was ruthlessly broken soon.

　Li Er led 20 Tang troops. After leaving Tongguan in the east, he was attacked by a Sui army at night as soon as he entered Hongnong County.

　Although they repelled the Sui army's attack, the casualties were not too great, but two grain storage places in their army were burned down by the Sui army's night attack.

　Let Tang Jun lose one-third of his food and grass at once, which made Li Er very angry.

　This is equivalent to slapping Li Er severely, making Li Er furious.

　"The Sui army is here, and there is such an elite?

　Send out scouts to find out the traces of this Sui cavalry. "

　With a dark face, Li Er said to his advisers and generals.

　Afterwards, Li Er's soldiers approached Hongnong City. Originally, Li Er thought that once he arrived with the [-]th army, the Sui officials in the city would voluntarily open the city and surrender.

　As a result, he sent people into the city three times to persuade him to surrender, but they all returned without success.

　Helpless, Li Er could only send troops to launch a strong attack on Hongnong City. After a day of strong attack, the Tang army lost more than [-] people, but failed to capture Hongnong City.

　This time, Li Er was also surprised.

　"Your Highness, something is wrong.

　Tens of thousands of our soldiers took turns to attack the city today, but failed to break through the city. This is by no means the strength of the ordinary Sui army.

　According to our previous news, there were only [-] old, weak, sick and disabled Sui soldiers in Hongnong City.

　But today, according to the siege soldiers, although the Sui troops defending the city were not many, they were all well-equipped and well-trained.

　Most likely, Dongdu sent reinforcements to Hongnong before we came. "

　After the war, Changsun Wuji said to Li Er with a solemn face.

　"Well, that's really a possibility.

　However, as far as Dongdu sent reinforcements, how many could there be.

　You also said that our envoys came down and said that the number of Sui soldiers guarding the walls of Hongnong City was not many.

　Since we can't fight today, we can continue to fight tomorrow. Believe it or not, we can't beat Hongnong City. "

　Li Er said coldly.

　Li Er was very anxious at this time, he was worried that Dou Jiande would not be able to hold on in Hebei, and wanted to quickly conquer the Eastern Capital.

　So, the next day, Li Er asked Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan and Cheng Yaojin to lead the army in turn and continue to attack Hongnong City.

　As a result, after a day of strong attack, the Tang army suffered a lot of casualties, but still failed to capture Hongnong City.

　However, the soldiers of the Tang army attacking the city on this day had attacked Hongnong City several times, and their performance was much better than that on the first day.

　Although the soldiers of the Tang army who attacked the city wall in the end were all shot down by the Sui soldiers and failed to defend once, but this had already given Li Er hope.

　"Try harder tomorrow and take down Hongnong City."

　Li Er was not discouraged, but saw hope.

　Only Xu Maogong at the back couldn't help frowning at this time, he always felt that the soldiers of the Sui army guarding the city this time were very strange and not quite right.

　But unfortunately, at this time, Xu Maogong had just joined Li Er not long ago, and he still took advantage of Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin's introduction.

　After Xu Maogong came to Li Er's command, this period of time passed, and he hadn't built an inch of merit, so he seemed to be soft-spoken.

　General Yu Tai of the Xia Army was also intercepted by the Sui Army. At this time, he could only issue such an order.

　Then, the more than 2 Xia Army cavalry began to flee in all directions in spite of everything, and they had already given up resistance.

　"Kill, don't let anyone go."

　Behind him, Xu Feng, who led someone to catch up, shouted loudly with indifferent eyes.

　By this time, the cavalry battle was basically settled, and the Sui army won.

　Of the more than 2 cavalrymen of the Xia Army who were left behind, it is estimated that none of them could escape in the end.

　Retreating in time, the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Xia army who escaped with Dou Jiande were chased by the [-] cavalry of the Sui army led by Li Cunxiao, and they dared not turn back to fight back.

　Li Cunxiao led [-] Sui cavalry, and chased and killed these Xia cavalry until they reached the city of Anyang before giving up.

　From the battlefield in the east to the city of Anyang in the west, the distance was tens of miles. At this time, it was already covered with corpses and blood, all of them were soldiers of the Xia Army's cavalry.

　After Dou Jiande fled back to Anyang in embarrassment, he directly closed the city gate and blocked Li Cunxiao who was chasing him outside the city.

　"Dou Jiande, you shy turtle, don't shut the city gate."

　Li Cunxiao yelled outside the city, but it was a pity that what responded to him was the arrows shot by soldiers of the Xia army on the city wall.

　Helpless, Li Cunxiao had no choice but to lead the army back.

　On Xu Feng's side, after half an hour of fighting.

　Some of the [-] Xia cavalrymen who were intercepted were beheaded by the Sui army, some were captured, and some fled.

　"we won!"

　Xu Feng raised his arms on the battlefield.

　"Win, win!"

　The soldiers of the Sui Army who survived the war were also shouting excitedly at this time, which was deafening.

　"Lin Chong, Luo Shixin, you two lead [-] cavalry to stay and clean up the battlefield.

　The rest of the people led the troops to go north with me to help General Bai Qi. "

　After this bloody cavalry battle ended, Xu Feng had no time to rest, and immediately prepared to take the main force of the Sui cavalry north to support Bai Qi who was still struggling in the north.

　Bai Qi has been fighting really hard for the past half a day.

　At this time, Xu Maogong finally stood up and said to Li Er.

　"Oh? You all think so?"

　Li Er also said the same when he saw Xu Maogong, and he also paid attention to it.

　"Shubao, Yaojin, tomorrow you two will personally lead the army to attack the city and prove it."

　Li Er thought for a while, and said to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin beside him.

　"Yes, Your Highness."

　The two responded.

　But after dawn, when Li Er led the Tang army to attack the city again, he saw the gate of Hongnong City wide open.

　"kill!"

　Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin led the army and easily entered Hongnong City.

　"How is this going?"

　Li Er, who was in the distance, saw this scene with a puzzled look on his face.

　After half a day, Qin Qiong brought people over and said to Li Er: "Your Highness, the city is empty, and all the Sui soldiers are gone."

　"What? The Sui army is gone in the city?"

　Li Er's face became gloomy and ugly, which showed that Xu Maogong was right last night.

　"Let's go into town."

　Li Er quickly recovered, with no expression on his face, and led the generals into the city.

　In the past few days, those guarding Hongnong City did not know that there were only [-] old, weak, sick and disabled Sui troops, but more than [-] elite Sui troops sent by Zhou Yu.
