Two or three days later, the news of the siege of Jixian County spread to Yutian City, An Lushan.
Hearing Xun, An Lushan couldn't help but be shocked, and instantly summoned the generals in the army to discuss the matter.
In the lobby of the military mansion, An Lushan, who was obese, was in the main position, and said slowly: "Everyone, just now this king received the battle report of the Jixian guards. ” "Its battle report shows that the Qi army is galloping and marching, and is now storming its Jicheng, because the Qi army is attacking like a forest."
"Rao is Jicheng is strong as usual, but it is also precarious, and it is gradually unable to resist the attack of the Qi army."
"Therefore, Jixian County is an important choke point of our army, do you think you should send troops to rescue?"
only said that with An Lushan's words, the generals under his command were divided into two groups, each expressing their own opinions There are both opposition and approval, and the opposition is nothing more than that Luo Yi is now storming the city outside the city, eyeing it.
Rushing to send troops, I am afraid that the Yan army will take advantage of the weakness and eventually lead to a big defeat.
For a while, the generals on both sides analyzed it very reasonably, and An Lushan, who was a talented man, couldn't help but make a difficulty, and he didn't know which party's idea to adopt.
After all, whether it is Yutian or Jixian, it is the top priority and must not be lost As the hinterland of Zhuo County, Jicheng's strategic location is self-evident, and Yutian is also the key to entering Beiping County and seizing the entire Youzhou.
Once the An army is defeated and retreats to Yutian, even if An Lushan finally keeps Jicheng, what can it be, it is just to return to the original point and occupy Zhuo County.
However, later, Jia Xu also made a slight change according to Zhang Xian's plan, changing it to the whole army storming Jixian.
Jixian County is an important city in Zhuo County, and it is the throat road to Beiping and even the entire Youzhou.
As long as it occupies this place, it is equivalent to controlling the entire Youzhou, and almost all the official roads in Youzhou are driven no matter what, and finally they must pass through Jixian County.
However, it is precisely because of the extremely important geographical location of Jixian County that Shi Siming, the commander of Zhuo County, also has a large army here.
However, if you think about it carefully, even if An Lushan gives up Yutian and holds Jicheng, he will rely on the strength gap with the Yan army at that time.
Luo Yi came with full of anger, how should An Lushan resist Therefore, it is precisely on these grounds that An Lushan hesitated.
"Report, Urgent" "Marshal, General Cai ordered someone to urgently send an emergency report to inform Dashuai and ask him not to rescue Jicheng."
Just said that in the moment of An Lushan's hesitation, a sound came slowly from far and near.
Immediately after, An Lushan ordered the guards to slowly take the urgent report and hand it to An Lushan.
After looking at it, An Lushan finally made up his mind and decided not to lead the army to aid Jicheng, it seems that Cai Xide's persuasion has had an effect.
In fact, the reason why Cai Xide did not let An Lushan lead the army to rescue Jicheng was also because he was worried about what tricks the Qi army had.
After all, it was only a few days after the Battle of Daicheng, and Cai Xide was worried that An Lushan would repeat his mistakes and be deeply involved in his conspiracy As for the second aspect, it is also Cai Xide's confidence in the defense of Jicheng City.
Jicheng has always been led by Cai Xide, and during his garrison, he personally called on the soldiers to strengthen the city wall in case it was needed Therefore, Cai Xide was very confident in the fortification of the city's defenses, and at this time, tens of thousands of military horses were stationed in the city to resist.
Based on the general reason, Cai Xide persuaded An Lushan so much and did not let him lead the army to help.
An Lushan, since he was able to rebel in history and capture half of Li Tang's country, his own strength must not be weak Therefore, after some persuasion by Cai Xide, and after careful consideration in light of the actual situation, it was decided not to send troops to rescue for the time being.
It's a pity that An Lushan didn't expect that it was precisely because of this luck that he laid the root of his defeat.
In Yutian City, the main general An Lushan personally issued a military order to rescue Jicheng, continued to garrison Yutian, and confronted the Yan army.
It's just that at this time, on the front line of Zhuo County, in Zhuo County, Shi Siming, as the two leaders, is also tall and brave at fighting.
At this time, the news that Jicheng was besieged quickly spread, and Shi Siming also heard about it a little It wasn't until the scout told him the accurate news that Shi Siming began to cheer up and get serious.
After a long pause, Shi Siming showed a wry smile and said slowly: "Hehe" "I didn't expect the commander of the Qi army to be so bold and reckless, and he dared to drive straight into Jicheng with a partial division" "You must know that the general's Jicheng is not the five plains of the Liang Kingdom, which is difficult to break."
For a while, as Shi Siming was chattering from the side, the generals under his command couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked for battle Wuyuan City, which used to be the capital of the Liang Kingdom, has spread since Li Cunxiao's eighteenth cavalry broke through the city and captured Dong Zhuo, who was the emperor by himself.
Li Cunxiao's reputation grew by leaps and bounds, and it instantly fell into the minds of his people.
At the same time, there are also drawbacks revealed, that is, this incident completely reminded the rest of the anti-kings in the world, and they all began to gather heavy troops in the capital to strengthen the city defenses, so as not to capture the king first when the hostile forces would come to capture the thief against themselves in the future.
Since the Jicheng City was not personally supervised and strengthened by Shi Siming, he heard that the guards hurriedly asked for reinforcements.
For a while, Shi Siming did not know the situation in Jicheng, so he made a wrong judgment and prepared to mobilize a large army to aid Jixian.
"Alas, the Qi army is really not easy to deal with, and the general wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to lead the army south and seize the northern counties of Jizhou."
Immediately, Shi Siming couldn't help but sigh and said slowly.
Originally, this time, Shi Siming wanted to take advantage of the summer season to go south first and lead the army to attack Jizhou.
It's just that this delicate plan was brutally interrupted.
As the saying goes: the easier it is to report in the world, but the more powerless it is, the more difficult it is, but it feels extremely good.
After a short discussion with the leader, Shi Siming gave the order for the whole army to be drawn the next day.
According to Shi Siming's thoughts, Jixian County is its important city, and there is no room for loss, otherwise the An army will be defeated in this battle Jixian County has become like a fragrant duck at this time, and Shi Siming's heart can be described as anxious.
At this time, the situation in Jicheng was critical, and along the way, the soldiers were all twisted like knives and began to feel uneasy In fact, the really calm and calm did not have the slightest intention, and did not care about the urban defense of Jixian County at all.
After all, the city defense of Jicheng is indeed not to be underestimated, plus it has a lot of troops in the city, and it is difficult to completely annihilate the enemy army without sufficient military strength.
Sun Tzu's Art of War: "Ten times the siege, five times the attack, and the double is the battle" In the Anjun army, some of the more calm generals have used the allusions of Sun Tzu's Art of War to teach everyone.

After some discussion, An Lushan and Cai Xide continued to lead the army to hold the city, and did not lead the army to help.
On the contrary, Shi Siming, as a general, was ready to attack the anti-king Gao Tansheng in Jizhou.
At this time, as Jixian County was under onslaught, Shi Siming, for the sake of safety, still gave up the best time to go south and personally led the army to Jicheng Moreover, due to the lessons of the Battle of Daicheng, Shi Siming's army was very cautious this time, and almost everywhere he went, he would first order scouts to go to various places to investigate.
Therefore, for a while, the An'an army's march was unimpeded, and it was not ambushed by the Qi army again.
Immediately afterwards, Dou Jiande also opened a pledge meeting in Zhao County, the capital of the Xia Dynasty, and prepared to go out to attack Zhuo County in Youzhou and An Lushan in Shanggu.
As Gao Qi ordered Pei Ju to send an envoy to Dou Jiande, let him attack An Lushan together, strive for one south and one north, and attack the An army on both sides.
In the end, as Dou Jiande discussed with the generals, his general Zhao Kuangyin overrode public opinion and firmly agreed with Dou Jiande's alliance with the Qi army and sent troops to Youzhou, in response to the Youzhou army.
According to Zhao Kuangyin's explanation, there are several reasons for sending troops to Youzhou.
First, Luo Yi has been in Youzhou for decades, and its roots are deep, which cannot be easily destroyed by An Lushan.
This time, if Dou Jiande agrees to Gao Qi and responds to Qi Jun's words, at that time, Xia Jun will be able to get the favor of the two anti-kings in the world at the same time.
In the midst of the competition, long-distance and close attacks have always been the best choice, connecting the necessary princes, and then defeating the neighboring princes with their strength, which is the real way to survive in troubled times Second, it is also because of Gao Qi's promise that as long as Dou Jiande can form an alliance with him this time, in the future, it will have a far-reaching impact on the situation in the world.
It must be known that the territory of Qi is half of the south of the Yangtze River, while the Xia State is located in Hebei, and its strength is profound.
Once Xia and Qi form an alliance, it will be a strong alliance, and its strength cannot be underestimated It is conceivable that in the future, whether the two princes fight against either prince, the other can help them.
For example, for example, in the future, when Li Tang and Xia went to war, Gao Qi could garrison troops in Nanyang, Hanchuan, or even in the direction of Qinzhou, in response to harass Li Tang's rear.
In the same way, if there is a war with the Qi State, Dou Jiande can also lead the army to attack from Taiyuan and Hedong respectively, so as to echo each other from afar.
The world is bustling, all for profit In troubled times, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
It is most normal for princes to form alliances with each other.
However, this alliance is not stable, and when the day comes when the two sides really fight for their own interests, there will inevitably be a conflict, or even a war.
However, for this time, Xia and Qi did not have a direct entanglement of interests, but the relationship was quite good.
Zhao Jun, above the military academy.
At this time, the figures on the school field can be described as shaking, and the huge army is standing in order On closer inspection, the morale of this army is high, and its combat power cannot be underestimated This is the Xia Kingdom, the elite division under Dou Jiande, whose combat power is not inferior to the Qi army and Li Tang's Guan Long army.
In fact, the Qi State and the Li Tang Dynasty, and even Dou Jiande's Xia Dynasty, these three armies are the best in the world However, the military systems of the three countries are not exactly the same.
First of all, the state of Qi, because Gao Qi is a person of later generations, so in terms of cultivating the army, the main use is to cultivate his will, and his loyalty to the country.
Subsequently, supplemented by military merits, in order to encourage the sergeants under his command to fight bravely to kill the enemy, every battle must be the first.
In layman's terms, it is the military merit system.
As for the Li Tang Dynasty, because its son of heaven, Li Yuan, was born in the Guanlong aristocratic lineage.
The family has its own military system, so the policies of the Li Tang Dynasty are basically inherited from the Sui system, and there has not changed much.
As for the army, it is also based on the military system of the Sui Dynasty as the main body, supplemented by the system of military merit.
As for Dou Jiande in Hebei, because he is the lowest, he is from a civilian background.
Therefore, its main military system is to use its own prestige to lead the people and worship it, so as to serve the dead I have to say that among all the anti-kings in the world, only these three kingdoms are the forefront of their world's strength, and they are also the top part of the people.
"Soldiers, today this king will lead you to kill Youzhou and attack the anti-thief An Lushan."
"Originally, An Lushan's rebellion was a matter within Luo Yi's territory, and it should not have been under the control of our army."
"But An Lushan didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and he actually colluded with the Hu Kojin people outside the Saiwai to raise troops and make trouble, eating inside and out, so the king had to take care of it."
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all sons of the North, and you have heard about Hu Kou's fierceness and atrocities since you were a child, and you must know what kind of consequences Hu Kou will be in the Central Plains once you enter the customs."
"Therefore, soldiers, will you be?"
"Wow" "Unwilling, unwilling, attack and kill the traitors and prevent Hu Kou from entering the customs" Seeing that in just a few words, the morale of the whole army was completely mobilized, and its momentum was unstoppable It can be seen that Dou Jiande can become a hegemon in Hebei, and his own strength is not in vain.
At this time, in an inconspicuous corner on the side, a green-shirted scribe was standing here quietly, observing the scenes, and said secretly: "It seems that I really didn't see the wrong person." ” "King Xia is indeed a famous king, as long as he can maintain this state, he may not be able to compete for this world" This scribe was none other than Song Zhengben, the mastermind under Dou Jiande.
The reason why Song Zhengben chose to take refuge in Dou Jiande is that Dou Jiande can treat people with sincerity and treat the people very well.
Song Zheng was originally a country official, and he knew that the people were often persecuted by bureaucrats and gentry, and their situation was extremely unbearable Originally, Song Zhengben was more optimistic about Gao Qi, after all, Gao Qi also treated the people as his own responsibility, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River were attached to him.
It's just that the ancients had a very strong sense of locality, and Song Zhengben, as a native of Hebei, still chose to assist the Hebei warlord Dou Jiande to achieve a great cause.
Seeing that the military heart was available, Dou Jiande laughed twice, pulled out the sword in his waist, pointed at the blue sky, and shouted: "Soldiers, go" Immediately, a fully equipped army lined up in a long queue and headed north.
All of a sudden, the war reignited in the interior of Youzhou, and the battle between the princes would officially begin.
Jixian County, the camp of the Qi army At this time, after the unanimous discussion between Su Lie and Zhang Xian, Jia Xu, and Qin Qiong and other generals. clearly formulated an accurate strategic plan, that is, to defeat Shi Siming's team first and attack An Lushan on the line.
According to Jia Xu's explanation, it may be that An Lushan may not be able to be fooled by his own strategy of encircling and helping.
However, Jixian County is in the territory of Zhuo County, and after Shi Siming heard about it, he would definitely not ignore it.

Therefore, at this time, the army can target Shi Siming and design a booby trap for him.
The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
