Dihua City.

Prince Guo returned to Dihua City again. In the battle of Dihua, Prince Guo and Prince Cheng's coalition directly defeated Fu Erdan, who was in a talented manner. If Fu Erdan hadn't run fast, his head might have been hung on the Dihua City Gate now.

After this battle, Prince Guo's troops increased greatly, and the front line advanced about a hundred miles eastward. Fortunately, Fu Erdan's deputy generals and others fought to the death with their terrain. Perhaps they defeated the opponent in one fell swoop and directly pointed at Lanzhou.

Just as Prince Guo and Prince Cheng were about to strike while the iron was hot, and to defeat the enemy with another victory and fight directly to the east, the Qing court sent Sibo to replace Fu Erdan as the general, and at the same time transferred tens of thousands of troops to reinforce.

Compared to Fuldan, Sibo was much more steady in the war, and Sibo came here to put out the fire this time, so he didn't expect anything to turn defeat into victory in this situation.

In Xibao's view, after Dihua's defeat, the Qing court had temporarily lost the initiative, and the morale of the entire army was depressed. The most important thing at the moment was to stabilize the position and turn the situation around.

So after Sibao arrived, he took a defensive move, relying on the terrain to reinforce it, and like a turtle, he directly retracted his head and limbs into the turtle shell, and no matter how Prince Guo and others provoked him, he ignored him.

Although this tactic is rogue, the effect is good. After several unsuccessful attacks, the situation gradually became stalemate, and as the situation stabilized, the panic in the army also improved greatly. Moreover, Xibao is a very good man to lead troops. In addition to sending people to escort Fu Erdan back to the Qing court, Xibao promised to the generals as a general that he would not blame the previous defeat in the war, which also calmed the morale of the army.

As time goes by, the defense line of Sibao has become more and more stable. Prince Guo and Prince Cheng have no good idea to see this, so they can only send some troops to conduct tactical harassment and attack. As for the main force temporarily withdrawing from Dihua City.

"What a pity. If we had worked harder, maybe we would have hit the front of the fourth brother now." Prince Guo said with regret. In fact, he never expected Fu Erdan to be so careless. After all, Fu Erdan was a celebrity in front of Kangxi as a first-class guard. Moreover, he is a good martial artsman and is famous among the Manchus. Whether Prince Guo or Prince Cheng, they knew when they were princes.

But who would have thought that Fu Erdan had such a silver-like wax gun head? The dignified general was so aggressive. Did he think that fighting was due to personal courage? Prince Guo even thought that Fu Erdan had read too much about Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

It was precisely because Fu Erdan was defeated too quickly that Prince Guo and Prince Cheng were not prepared at all, and Fu Erdan's Qing army did not suffer much losses and the system was basically intact. This was why after the loss of Dihua, he could still organize resistance and support him hard to arrive at Sibao.

I have to say that this result is a bit ridiculous.

If Fu Erdan had not been defeated so quickly, then Prince Guo and Prince Cheng would have time to adjust the army to respond.

If Fuldan was not injured and lost his command ability on the battlefield, then his deputy generals and his generals would not take over the command, thus organizing a tenacious resistance.

Therefore, this battle was achieved and the defeat was also due to Fu Erdan.

"Brother Ten, you have to walk step by step and eat at a glance. It is already very good to have the results of the present. You can't expect everyone to be Fu Erdan, right?" Prince Cheng smiled and joked. Prince Guo also burst into laughter when he heard this. Prince Cheng was right. He got a lot of benefits in one battle. He can't expect Yongzheng to have a lot of wine bags like Fu Erdan.

"Uncle, what do you think about the current situation?" Prince Cheng comforted Prince Guo for a moment, then turned around and asked Longkodo on the side.

Since Longkodo surrendered to Prince Guo and Prince Cheng, although they have not allowed Longkodo to lead the troops directly, they have been extremely polite to him. Especially Prince Cheng, who usually calls Longkodo his uncle, and never avoids Longkodo when discussing and discussing military affairs, and will also seek his opinions.

"I used the right person there. I know that Sibo is not a talented general, but he is quite capable. The tactics he has taken now will be the same if he changes me. It is probably difficult to defeat one shot at the moment, unless you find another way from the east."

"What is uncle mean?" Prince Cheng's eyes lit up suddenly and he asked thoughtfully.

Longkodo smiled and said to Prince Guo: "Prince, do you remember the war between you and me and you and I attacked Dihua with all my might?"

"How can I not remember? I suffered a big loss at that time! If it weren't for this loss, you would have the chance to take down Dihua later." Prince Guo was a little angry when he heard about this. He lost a group of elite soldiers under Longkodo. Because of the loss of these elite soldiers, there was a loophole in the defense of Dihua that he arranged, and finally voluntarily evacuated Dihua due to insufficient troops.

Now that Longkodo mentioned this matter again, Prince Guo naturally felt very uncomfortable.

"Brother Ten, my uncle's meaning is not about the Battle of Dihua, but about his situation at that time." Prince Cheng smiled and interrupted.

"Situation?" Prince Guo was stunned, a little confused about Prince Cheng's meaning, but Longkodo showed an expression of admiration.

"The prince is really wise, he said it in one sentence!" Longkodo nodded and said, "Actually, I didn't want to attack Dihua directly. First, Dihua's strong city will definitely suffer a lot of losses. Second, Dihua's defenders are all elite, and they can evacuate safely even if they lose to it. Taking Dihua is just a symbol. Instead, keeping Dihua in the hands of the prince is more beneficial to the situation."

Longkodo's words made Prince Guo understand half or not, but Prince Cheng understood it and nodded in agreement.

Longkodo continued: "Although I am a general and commanding the troops, I sometimes have no choice but to attack Dihua. However, the east side is anxious. If I don't go to war, I will be suspicious and suspicious..."

"Uncle said it is reasonable!" Prince Cheng immediately laughed: "It seems that the situation has to be in the east. When the time comes, it will be impossible to protect it. If his turtle shell is hard, what can he do if he has a turtle shell?"

"Hahaha, the prince is very proud!"

"Hahaha!"

For a moment, Prince Cheng and Longkodo laughed at the same time, while Prince Guo was on the side but couldn't figure it out.

"Wait, why can't I understand what you said?" Prince Guo asked in confusion.

Seeing him like this, Prince Cheng then explained that the truth is actually very simple. Wars have always been complicated, and many times on the battlefield are not changed by the will of the generals.

This has happened in all dynasties, such as the Battle of Changping during the Warring States Period, Yue Fei was recalled by twelve gold medals, and the attack on Dihua they discussed just now.
