"Your Majesty has always been generous and kind, so he will not implicate innocent people." Li Xiujing sat on the bench and looked at Tai Wei, "Taiwan generals who understand current affairs are heroes."

Li Xiujing finished speaking. Tai Ling squeaked coldly, looked away, and ignored it. As if he didn't believe that the court would make such a promise.

He knew that with Tai Ling's temperament, he would not surrender for a while. Li Xiujing waved his hand to He Liang to take him down first and keep him under good supervision. When the rain stopped, he immediately broke camp and returned to join the Huainan Jiedushi to attack Xuanzhou City together.

By the time Li Xiujing returned to the camp, it was already nightfall.

Hearing that he had won, Huainan Jiedu Commander Wei Gao couldn't shake the joy on his face. On the contrary, Dou Ji snorted coldly when he saw him coming in.

Knowing that Dou Ji was dissatisfied with him, Li Xiujing seemed not to see him. He bowed his hands to Wei Gao and reported the situation on his side.

He lured Tai Ling to the ground, annihilated him in one fell swoop, and even captured the people alive. Listening to Li Xiujing's voice and the compliments from people around him, Dou Ji's face became even worse.

He was originally ordered to keep an eye on Li Xiujing this time to prevent this person from making great achievements again. Unexpectedly, this man was so cunning that he actually conspired with Wei Gao to finalize the battle plan. He didn't know their plan until both of them came back.

Dou Ji, who was holding back his anger, sneered when he heard that the conversation between the two turned to food and grass, "The road is difficult to travel in the rain. It will take a lot of time for the Military Academy to set out here. Two generals, when will this battle end?" ?The imperial court cannot withstand such a long period of consumption."

"The war is dragging on for a long time? The food for the military academy has been delivered three days late. Won't Dou Hujun send someone to ask?" Li Xiujing asked back, "Tomorrow, Wei Jieshuai and I will lead the army to attack City. Dou Hujun should urge the army rations as soon as possible. If it is overdue again, I will report it truthfully."

The food for the military academy has not arrived for a long time. It is obvious that the military envoy is playing tricks on the people of the military academy. Both parties pointed to the small profit from the batch of military rations and used the heavy rain as an excuse.

After being slapped like this by Li Xiujing, Dou Ji stood up on the spot and walked away.

"This..." Wei Gao looked at Dou Ji's leaving figure, then looked at Li Xiujing, "Is Dou Hujun okay?"

Hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wei Jieshuai. He doesn't dare to do anything yet."

Dou Ji took a deep breath after leaving the camp. He kicked the flagpole next to him, but the flag on top only wavered twice. As if he felt that he was not relieved enough, he strode forward. Stopping in front of his tent, the sergeant guarding the tent saluted him.

Looking at the saluting sergeant with a sneer, Dou Ji raised his foot and kicked him several times. Only after the dissuasion of the soldiers beside him did he enter the account.

Those who follow him into the account are all his confidants, and they are naturally extremely attentive at this time. They took off his boots, rubbed his back and shoulders, and even offered him tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Dou Ji spit it out and said angrily: "Bring me something to drink, too!"

"Guard Army, please calm down. No matter how capable Li Xiujing is, isn't he still under your control?" Serving tea to his confidant, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't you still have the highest command in your hands? Don't you let him do it tomorrow? Just go on an expedition. With a few of us, why don't you worry about not being able to win the battle?"

After listening to his words, Dou Ji nodded with satisfaction, "You are still smart. How could I forget that I still have the highest command authority specially invited by Lieutenant Cao for me. I heard that Pei Jiaoran is resigning because of the incident. . Now that His Majesty has expressed his intention to agree, now that Pei Jiaoran has lost the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, we will be much more relaxed in the future."

"What the Central Guards said is true."

"I wish the Central Guard Army a great victory tomorrow."

Amidst all the compliments, Dou Ji smiled proudly.

Dou Ji, who held the highest command authority, ordered Li Xiujing to stay in the camp to prevent enemy raids when he was preparing to attack the city the next day.

Although there is no reason to change generals on the spot, Dou Ji has the highest command power in his hands. Even if everyone was dissatisfied, they had no choice but to suppress their dissatisfaction and follow Dou Ji to attack Xuancheng.

Although Wei Gao was also confused about this, the coach of the Shence Army did not speak, and he did not know how to intervene.

Dou Ji volunteered to be the vanguard and led the elite of the Shence Army to attack Xuanzhou City from the east of the city. Wei Gao, on the other hand, contained the enemy's main force from the front and supported him at any time. It was easy to catch the Xuanzhou City guard by surprise.

But the Xuanzhou garrison was not stupid. He noticed that the forces of Huainan and Shence Army were dispersed. Immediately adjust the deployment of troops and focus on defending the city that Dou Ji attacked. Dou Ji was eager for quick success and did not know about soldiers. He ignored Wei Gao's warning and asked him to withdraw his troops immediately and join forces, so he set out to attack Xuanzhou City. Although all the soldiers under his command raised objections and believed that they should join Wei Gao in time, Dou Ji felt that this was Dou Ji's dubious strategy, so he ordered his soldiers to attack the city.

The consequence of the forcible attack on the city was naturally a fierce counterattack by the Xuanzhou City defenders. Dou Ji, who did not know how to fight, was a match for the Xuanzhou garrison. Before he could get close to the city wall, he was shot back by a wave of arrows. By the time he reacted, the cavalry of the Western Zhejiang Army had already rushed out. Those who were hit by the Shence Army fell on their backs and were defeated.

Just when Dou Ji was killed and was at a loss. Wei Gao led his army to arrive in time, broke up the formation of the Western Zhejiang Army, and saved Dou Ji's life. At this point in the war, it was clear that no more fighting could be fought, so Wei Gao ordered the troops to withdraw their troops, changing the central army to the front army, the rear army to the middle army, and the front army to cut off the rear.

By the time Li Xiujing learned the news, Dou Ji was already lying in the tent with lingering fear. Although there was blood on his body, it was not his.

Seeing Dou Ji safe and sound, Li Xiujing turned to look at Dou Ji's confidants. These people were caught by his glance and lowered their heads. These people are accustomed to being pampered in Youshence, how can they understand the cruelty of the battlefield. Not to mention the so-called strategies obtained through lip service and paper talks are not worth mentioning on the battlefield.

"Since Dou Hujun was frightened, he should take good care of himself." Li Xiujing said indifferently, "I and Wei Jieshuai will be in charge of the march. I also ask Dou Hujun not to act arbitrarily. If he suffers another defeat, wouldn't he? Let Huainan see the joke. It will do no good to you or me if other feudal towns also have rebellious thoughts."

After saying that, Li Xiujing walked out with a straight spine.

As soon as he went out, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground reached his ears.

He Liang, who was at the door holding his bloody helmet, looked at the camp with an angry face and said in a low voice: "The general and other generals have tried their best to oppose the attack on the city, but Dou Ji and his few confidants insisted on attacking the city. He also called other people cowards. The last general..."

He Liang hesitated to speak, his eyes filled with anger and tears.

Those were all his brothers, but now they died in vain under the sword of the Western Zhejiang Army because of Dou Ji's eagerness for quick success. How could he not be angry?

"I know you are angry, and so am I. Now is not the time to vent your anger on him."

"But I really can't swallow this breath!"

"No, you have to endure it. If you want to deal with him, you have to be honest." Signaling He Liang to leave with him, Li Xiujing said as he walked: "It is reckless rather than rational to take action at this time. One day I will kill him with my own hands. Got him."

"general……"

"Don't worry, it won't take long."
