Su Dingfang hated Cheng Yaojin so much that he rode up to chase him regardless. At this time, the Dou army was retreating from the direction of the Youzhou military camp. Cheng Yaojin naturally did not dare to escape in the direction of the Youzhou military camp, lest he be killed.

Thousands of troops and horses were trampled to a pulp, so they kept running to the side. However, this thing was too heavy. The two axes alone weighed hundreds of kilograms. Although the bay red horse was a splendid horse, it was not as fast as Su Dingfang.

.

Soon, Su Ding was catching up. When he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, Cheng Yaojin knew that he couldn't escape. Instead of wasting his power, he might as well turn around and fight, so Cheng Yaojin turned around in a very shameless manner.

Horsehead, head towards Su Dingfang.

"Cheng Yaojin, take your life!" Su Dingfang's spear shot out quickly, and with the speed of his mount, it was unstoppable.

Cheng Yaojin's complexion changed slightly. He also knew that this shot was powerful and did not dare to take it hard. He hurriedly leaned back and used an iron bridge move. He lay on his back on the horse and narrowly avoided Su Dingfang's shot.

.

Su Dingfang couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was really strange that this big-bellied guy was so flexible.

The two horses passed by each other, and after running for more than ten meters, they turned their heads again. Cheng Yaojin held two axes and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Su, come on, come on, let me, Old Cheng, teach you a few tricks, I guarantee you."

The benefits are endless.”

Su Dingfang was so angry that his lungs exploded, and he yelled angrily: "Cheng Yaojin, you are such a despicable villain, but you are so insidious. I won't grind your bones to ashes, so I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart."

Cheng Yaojin gave a very surprised smile and said: "This is called a soldier who never tires of deceit. Su Dingfang, you are still too young. I have already joined Youzhou. The reason why I joined your army was to cooperate inside and outside. Who knew you were so good?"

You lied to me, but you believed it to be true. Please, if I, Old Cheng, want to seek refuge with Dou Jiande, why not go directly to Dou Jiande, and why should I succumb to your subordinates, Su Dingfang?"

Su Dingfang was so angry and ashamed that almost all his orifices were filled with smoke. He roared and thrust out his spear before stabbing him. Cheng Yaojin had an ax on his left and his right ax whizzed towards the former's left ear, shouting: "Pick out your ears!"

Su Dingfang hurriedly turned his head to avoid it, but Cheng bit his left ax and struck again: "Goug out your eyes!"

Su Dingfang made a sudden move and hurriedly used a move to avoid the iron bridge. Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed and slashed the bridge of his nose with the third axe, shouting: "Cut your nose!"

Su Dingfang was shocked. He held the gun with both hands and used the Overlord Lifting Cauldron move to hold the gun horizontally. With a loud bang, sparks flew from Su Dingfang's iron gun and it hit his chest hard, causing his blood to surge with pain.

Blood spurted out, and at this time the two horses were separated again. Su Ding reluctantly pinched the horse's belly and let the horse speed away.

Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed when he succeeded with one move. He immediately turned his horse's head and chased after him. At the same time, he laughed loudly and said: "Su Dingfang, now you know that my old Cheng's three-blade ax is very powerful. Don't leave before you take another one from me!"

Cheng Yaojin galloped his horse to give chase, but Su Dingfang secretly hung up his spear. When he turned around, the arrow was shot as fast as a meteor. Cheng Yaojin felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder. He had been hit by an arrow, and couldn't help but scream.

He leaned down and turned the horse's head to escape.

Su Dingfang was not feeling well at this time. Forcibly firing the bow also affected the injury on his chest. He immediately spit out another mouthful of blood and could only watch Cheng Yaojin disappear into the darkness.

"You are lucky, I will kill you next time I meet you!" Su Dingfang spat out a mouthful of blood and hurriedly turned around and hurried back.

At this time, Pei Xingyan had led the Youzhou army to attack like an overwhelming force. Dou's army fought and retreated, suffering heavy casualties. The defeat was a foregone conclusion and could no longer be reversed. Su Dingfang had no choice but to flee towards Leshou County.

At the same time, he sent a fast horse to inform his adoptive father Gao Yaxian to come over.

Pei Xingyan, who was capable of killing, pursued him all the way until dawn, almost arriving at the foot of Leshou County. When he encountered Gao Yaxian's reinforcements, he had to stop the pursuit and lead his troops to retreat and set up camp for a confrontation.

Gao Yaxian was an experienced and prudent person and did not take the opportunity to pursue him. He only covered Su Dingfang's remaining soldiers and retreated into the city in an orderly manner, then stayed behind closed doors.

At this moment, Su Dingfang knelt down in front of Gao Yaxian with a depressed expression, and said with red eyes: "My child trusted Cheng Yaojin, a despicable villain, and was defeated miserably. He has no face to see General Dou again. Let's die to apologize!"

He was about to kill himself after passing the waist knife of a soldier beside him.

Gao Yaxian was shocked. He kicked Su Dingfang on the wrist and kicked the knife out of his hand. He said angrily: "Killing yourself after a defeat is a coward's act. Dingfang, you have disappointed your adoptive father so much."

Got it!"

When Su Dingfang heard this, his face turned red and white, and he lowered his head in shame. Gao Yaxian sighed secretly and comforted: "Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Dingfang, you are still young and inexperienced. It is normal to suffer a few defeats. It is important."

You must learn a lesson, know your shame and then be brave, be a man and get up from where you fell."

Su Dingfang was shaken up, as if he had been enlightened, and said anxiously: "My foster father taught me the right thing, but is it still too late?"

Su Dingfang suffered a disastrous defeat. He lost more than half of his two thousand cavalry and 70% of his infantry. These were the elite members of Dou's army. Could Dou Jiande really spare him such a heavy loss?

Gao Yaxian comforted and said: "The general is benevolent and righteous, and he can tolerate his enemies, let alone his own people. Don't worry about Dingfang. When the general comes, if you kneel in front of him and sincerely admit your mistake, he will be willing to forgive you."

of."

Su Dingfang was surprised: "The general is coming?"

Gao Yaxian nodded and said: "The general's plan is not just for one county in Hejian, but for the entire Youzhou. General Bi Ri will lead the main force of the army to the north, striving to complete his achievements in one battle. Only by conquering Youzhou can the general go to the Central Plains."

Su Dingfang was surprised and happy when he heard this. His defeat this time was really unfair. If he did it again, he was confident of defeating Pei Xingyan, but would General Dou give him another chance?

………………

In Ji County, Zhuo County, in the government office of Youzhou, Gao Bufan was sitting in the middle. Wei Zheng, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Cui Jiuling, Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, Lu Sheng and others were all present. As for Wen Yanbo, he had already left for an envoy a few days ago.

Khitan, so they are not here at the moment, but the lineup present is already strong enough, three of them are among the top five among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and two of them are regarded as gods by history.

At this time, Gao Bufan raised the good news report in his hand: "I have just received the good news report from Xingyan. Wuji, please read it to me!" After speaking, he handed it to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji received the good news and read it in a mellow tone. Everyone was happy after hearing it. Du Ruhui stroked his beard and praised: "My subordinates have said before that Cheng Yaojin is a man who is both rough and fine. This time he has made great achievements when he first arrived.

Your Excellency should reward you generously."

Gao Bufan didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would give himself a surprise as soon as he arrived. He nodded and said with a smile: "It's necessary."

Cui Jiuling frowned and said: "General Pei's victory report also mentioned Gao Yaxian. It seems that Dou Jiande has made up his mind to compete with us for Hejian County this time. He actually sent two groups of troops north to Hejian."

Wei Zheng snorted coldly: "Dou Jiande has many plans. I'm afraid his target is not just Hejian County, but the entire Youzhou."

Du Ruhui nodded solemnly and said: "That's true. Now Xu Sima and General Yuchi are attacking Luo Yi. Nearly half of our troops in Youzhou have been temporarily dragged outside the pass. Dou Jiande is a cunning person and will definitely not let go of such a great opportunity to invade.

The possibility is very high and we have to guard against it."

Li Chunfeng stroked his beard and said: "Pindao looked at the stars the night before and found that there was indeed a sign of military danger south of Zhuojun, so he asked Yuan Daopu to give a hexagram."

Old God Yuan Tiangang said in a genuine voice: "The hexagrams are obviously fine. Every bad thing can be turned into good luck and good fortune. It is estimated that bad things will turn into good things!"

Everyone felt a lot more relaxed when they heard this. Since the last time the two calculated that Gao Bufan would be in trouble when he went south, now everyone worships these two magic sticks as gods. If they hear their calculations of good luck, then it must be good luck and good luck.

, as for how bad things turn into good things, everyone is a little confused.

Lu Sheng laughed ferociously and said: "Dou Jiande has just conquered a few counties and he has become arrogant. He dares to take advantage of our Youzhou. If he dares to come this time, let him know whether he will come back or not."

Gao Bufan calmly shook his head and said: "Although it is convenient to beat a dog behind closed doors, it will also break your own pots and pans. Therefore, the battlefield cannot be placed at home. It is best not to be close to the door of your home. Defend against enemies outside the country!"

"

Everyone's hearts moved, and Lu Sheng blurted out: "What do you mean, sir?"

Gao Bufan said calmly: "If what I have predicted is correct, Dou Jiande will definitely march the main force of the army northward in person. He will be alone, and I am afraid he will not be able to withstand it. So, let me personally lead an army of 20,000 people to meet at the foot of the south mountain."

Meet Dou Jiande."

Everyone couldn't help but cheer up. The manager personally took action and stabilized the situation!

Since his debut, Gao Bufan has won every battle without a single defeat, so in everyone's mind, he is a star who has descended to earth, and everyone is naturally confident.

On October 15, the twelfth year of Daye, Gao Bufan, the general manager of Youzhou, personally led an army of 20,000 people to move south in a mighty manner. Changsun Wuji was responsible for the logistics work, and Changsun Wuji also welcomed him to Youzhou.

The first show after that, the first show in the true sense.

It is worth mentioning here that Changsun Wuji in real history was best at logistics work. It was precisely because of his achievements in this area that he was later listed as the first of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. Of course, his brother-in-law, the emperor

There should also be a bonus for your identity, otherwise it would be impossible to rank first.

Just as Gao Bufan was leading his army south, Dou Jiande also led a main force of 50,000 people from Xindu County to the north. If Gao Yaxian and Su Dingfang were included in the advance, the total force exceeded 60,000, which was significantly more than the three troops of Gao Bufan and Pei Xingyan.

The military strength of 10,000 is more than doubled.

Of course, having more people does not mean that they can fight. As the saying goes, it is better to have more elite troops than to have more troops. The Youzhou army is a well-trained and well-equipped regular army. In a real fight, you don't know who will win.

In this early winter season, the north wind is blowing, and the sky above Hejian County is covered with war clouds!
