When they received the news, everyone was silent. In the past few days, they all learned that Li Shimin was very quiet. If he moved, he would take his life if he did not move.
Nowadays, the morale of Yang Jun Lien Chan’s losing streak is very low. Song Jingang knows very well that he can’t go to Li Shimin like this again. It’s like a god of death chasing after himself and never giving himself a rest.
Escape, like defense, is never a long-term solution. Song Jingang has been struggling for many years. He decided not to continue to escape. There is still a lot of food in Jiexiu City. He immediately ordered the soldiers to have a full meal and prepare for Jiexiu City last stand.
Early the next morning, Song Jingang asked Wei Chijingde and Xiang Shoucheng to lead an army out of the city to fight. Li Shimin saw the clue and let Liu Hongji play in a fierce battle between the two armies. Yang Jun seemed to be encouraged by Song Jingang, and everyone desperately Liu Hongji could not resist the retreat.
Song Jingang exultation immediately led his troops to pursue him while winning. He wanted to take Li Shimin to reverse this unfavorable situation. However, when he led his troops to pursue, Li Shimin secretly took the cavalry around Song Jingang and immediately stormed the rear wing of Song Jingang.
Because Song Jingang led his troops to chase after leaving the pendulum to refuse the horse array, the army became extremely defensive. Li Shimin cavalry easily defeated Song Jingang troops. Yang Jun was immediately annihilated and killed more than 3,000 people. Song Jingang fled with a light bike at the moment. Li Shimin chased out dozens of miles and arrived at Zhangnan Fort in the southwest of Pingyao. Only then did he stop and enter Zhangnan Fort for dinner.
Song Jingang fled Wei Chijingde and sought to stay with Jiexiu. Because of the heavy defeat in the city in recent days, the morale has been extremely low. With Song Jingang fleeing, Wei Chijingde and sought to be desperate. Although Li Shimin continued to lead troops to pursue, he left Fang Xuanling Fang Xuanling to enter Jiexiu to surrender Wei Chijingde and seek to be in the city. He chose to surrender without hesitation.
Tang gaozu received the military news for the time being, but it was enough for him to be sure that Yang Jun would be like a grasshopper scampering for a few days. At this time, he didn’t know that the war in Jingxiang was over, and he didn’t know that Li Shimin continued to pursue after arriving at Zhangnan Fort.
Song Jingang fled all the way north. He hoped to call the soldiers to fight again after arriving in Jinyang. After all, Jinyang is an important town in the north. When there is enough food in the city, it is bound to be revived. But Song Jingang never thought that Liu Wuzhou, the emperor of Yang Jun, would slip away first.
Liu Wuzhou felt bad when he heard that Luo Yi had left the military forces and towns. When the news of Song Jingang’s defeat came, Liu Wuzhou’s face changed. He gave all the elite to Song Jingang because he trusted his performance, while Song Jingang’s previous record was absolutely perfect
It is not a dream to decide that Yang Jun will come to Chang ‘an according to this trend, but Song Jingang was blocked by a young man. It was half a year that Liu Wuzhou worked hard to raise food and grass and exhausted his energy.
In order to get more soldiers, Liu Wuzhou can be described as exhausted and fished. He not only squeezed ordinary people, but also squeezed many aristocratic families, Taiyuan Wang. In addition, Xue Shen, a local tyrant who led Yang Jun into the city, was very dissatisfied with Liu Wuzhou’s extortion.
Liu Wuzhou think Song Jingang has lost tens of thousands of elite ink this situation has just been corrected Jinyang recruits how can you resist the peak sexually Tang Jun? What’s more, there is also a Luo Yi who is eyeing Mayi
Liu Wuzhou escaped. With a wave of his sleeve, he left a few confidants, and soon tens of thousands of elite Song Jingang came to fight again. But when I heard that Liu Wuzhou had fled to East Turkistan, I sighed and led more than 100 cavalry to flee to East Turkistan.
Li Shimin quickly took Tang Jun’s main force to kill Jinyang, left behind Jinyang, and set Yang Chaoting as a servant to shoot Yang Funian, so he had to give up the city and surrender to Tang Jun to recover Jinyang, a Longxing land. Then Li Shimin sent messengers to surrender everywhere, and most of the counties in Liu Wuzhou chose to surrender. Mayi (now Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province), the capital of Yang Chaoting, was still set by Yuan Junzhang.
It took only half a month from Song Jingang’s retreat to Li Shimin’s complete defeat, and all the lost land was recovered. Soon after, Li Zhongwen, the township official of Li Shimin Liuzhen, defended Bingzhou and then moved troops to triumph.
Holding a military newspaper in his hand, Tang gaozu’s wrinkled face smiled. He was afraid these days and disappeared today. He will definitely have a good sleep tonight, but he didn’t lose his initiative in winning Tang gaozu. He stopped Tai.
Li Jiancheng also had something to say to his father, so he stayed.
"This time, the people of the world took Song Jingang to recover the old land of Bingzhou in one fell swoop. Now the three armed forces are full of momentum. What should you do next?" Tang gaozu asked
There are many places in front of Li Yuan, such as Longxi, Nanyang Basin, Central Plains and even Hebei, and Li Yuan thinks that the most important reason of these four places is that Longxi has war horses and Sui Jun unexpectedly defeated Tuguhun and obtained Qinghai Qi, a good colt from the plateau.
Although the Tang Dynasty also has Pingliang and Wuwei in the north, it can also produce war horses, but it is richer than not occupying places against the Sui Dynasty, especially when Tuguhun has cavalry, everything will be there. Li Yuan’s thought is as simple as that.
In the view of Li Yuan of Hebei Province, once it occupied Datang of Hebei Province, it almost occupied the whole north. In that year, the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties would reappear. If Datang could seize the fighter plane, it would be able to step in against the Sui Dynasty and unify the south.
The strategic position of Nanyang basin and the Central Plains is not unimportant, but Li Yuan thinks that Luoyang is the fourth battlefield, and the capture of the anti-Sui front at this time has lengthened. He does not want to have too many entanglements with the anti-Sui for the time being
Li Jiancheng briefly thought that he walked aside and took a map and unfolded his eyes. After thinking for a moment in Nanyang Basin, Li Jiancheng seemed a little unsure. This decision is really too important.
Tang gaozu saw some hesitation and couldn’t help laughing. "It’s okay to talk when the father and son are wrong."
Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Dad, like today, there are many people everywhere, but for now, there are two biggest forces."
"One is against the Sui Dynasty, although it is said, since Yang You fled to Bashu, Bashu is like an unbreakable piece of iron plate, and there are still some people who don’t know when it’s time, so it’s inevitable to go against the Sui Dynasty." Li Jiancheng said that he took his eyes to see his father for fear of his father’s displeasure, but Tang gaozu nodded. How could he not understand these truths?
"What about the second?" Tang gaozu asked with a smile
Li Yuanxiao reassured Li Jiancheng. He also smiled, "Dad, the second thing is that Datang now owns several counties in China, Liangzhou and Longxi. In addition, the theory of Bing is that whether it is China or Bing has excellent geographical advantages, and it is a heavenly root to attack and retreat."
Li Yuan smiled. In his eyes, Dou Jiande was a farmer, and Shi Biao was an arrogant person, which was even more worthless to Liu Heita, Li Tong and others. The biggest enemy was that the Emperor Sui defeated Li Yuan before he could be justified as a god.
"Daddy has an idea, please correct it!" Li Jiancheng added
Tang gaozu nodded and waited for Li Jiancheng to tell. When Li Jiancheng finished, Tang gaozu was lost in thought. It was good. This suggestion was feasible. Tang gaozu slowly got up and looked at the map carefully. If this plan was successful, it would be extremely beneficial for Datang.
Tang gaozu took a few deep breaths and looked at Taidao. "It’s really a clever plan to send troops to Nanyang Basin while fighting against Sui Yu culture, so the two-track war against Sui will inevitably take care of one thing and lose another."
Tang gaozu said slowly, of course, he also knew that if Datang sent troops to Nanyang Longxi, Qu Tutong would definitely move, but Tang gaozu recognized that Qu Tutong did not dare to send troops or that he dared to send some cavalry to harass him. If he dared to send troops to Liangzhou, Li Shentong could lead troops south to seize Longxi.
Nowadays, the situation of Datang and Sui Dynasty is very delicate. Anyone can get the wind, and anyone can fall into the wind key in an instant. It depends on who can grasp the opportunity. It is an opportunity to send troops to Nanyang, but Li Yuan thinks it is not enough.
The supreme commander of Nanyang is Han Qinhu, who immediately recruited and established an army of more than 20,000 people, and the number of soldiers and horses in various counties can reach 30,000, which is not so easy to deal with.
If the Tang Dynasty wants to send 50,000 troops less, it will also be a great test for food. Because of the war in Bingzhou this year, how barren the fields are, we can rely on medium grain to meet the military needs. Now, in the mid-autumn harvest, we must guard against burning food in Qu Tutong, Longxi, and the food will be very tight
There are difficulties, but we must find a way. Li Yuan must not stop doing it because of difficulties. He looked up and pointed to the map for a moment. "What do you think if you send an emissary to say that he will send troops to seize Nanyang together?"
Li Jiancheng some surprised to see father refers to the place where impressively is the central plains! Father means to unite with Wang Shichong to seize Nanyang!
Chapter 477 Suspicion
Li Jiancheng hesitated. He looked at his father and said, "Dad, it’s reasonable that Wang Shichong’s rebellion against Sui is necessarily incompatible. He should agree to the alliance, but does the child think it’s a bit wrong?"
Tang gaozu stroked his beard and said, "?"
"Wang Shichong people are more cunning than Nanyang Basin, which is more important to him." Li Jiancheng pointed to the map and continued, "There are mountains in the east, north and west of Nanyang Basin, and Xiangyang in the south is the Nanyang Gate, while Nanyang is Xuchang and Luoyang Gate, which are extremely important for Luoyang and Wang Shichong, the capital of Nanyang Basin."
"If the Wang Shichong League takes Nanyang, he will definitely take the opportunity to extort control of Nanyang Basin. If so, it is not cost-effective for Datang to control the martial arts export in Xiyang County at most!" Li Jiancheng said.
This is a waste of manpower and material resources of Datang, but it doesn’t benefit. Li Jiancheng thinks that Tang’s financial and material resources can’t be expanded like this. It has reached the frontier of imminent collapse. This time, it has paid a lot of money to Turks. If it weren’t for Taiyuan’s savings and occupation, it has made great efforts to obtain the support of the first family, such as Duguhuai, Wei Ji and others. I’m afraid I wouldn’t have made it.
It’s not worth spending money on other people’s wedding dresses.
Tang gaozu is sneer at one. How can he not see the problem in his life? He said in a low Li Jiancheng ear. Li Jiancheng listened to his face. Is it a happy ginger or great?
Li Jiancheng coughed and whispered something in his father’s ear. After listening to Li Jiancheng’s words, Li Yuan added his forehead and said, "Do it as soon as possible!"
After two days of busy work, Sui Jun in Wuchang City roughly completed the statistics of Jiangdu Army. Wuchang City said that there were 100,000 imperial guards, and nearly half of them were ministers’ families, while some of the soldiers were old, weak, sick and disabled, and the real fighting capacity was less than 30,000.
Yang You is very busy these two days, and the army needs him to appease the old Sui ministers, as well as Zhao Cai and Pei Shiqi, both of whom are in their seventies, and Yu Shinan, 60 or 20, is an old minister with great prestige.
Zhao Cai never participated in the coup in Jiangdu, and so did Yu Shinan, especially after Zhao Cai’s history and culture were captured by Dou Jiande, Zhao was depressed and died. Yang You comforted him and told him to take care of himself.
Pei Shiqi is a special person. Before his grandfather, he was a greedy minister, but after he entered the Tang Dynasty, he became a straight minister. Yang You has been thinking about what to do with him, and finally decided to make a move.
Yang You didn’t kill him except because he was not very responsible for the Jiangdu Incident. He also considered two points: one is to win over the morale of Jiangdu army; the other is to win over Wenxi Pei’s family altruistically. Now Wenxi Pei’s family works for three forces respectively. One is that Pei Ji represents Pei’s family, and they are loyal to Li Tang. The other is that Pei Renji and Pei Hangyan are loyal to Wang Shichong on their behalf. The third is this Pei Shiqi.
Pei Shiqi was born in Wenxi Pei’s family, and he was also the master of Pei’s family. Although the pseudo-Tang Dynasty captured the middle school, he was replaced by Pei Ji. This replacement is that Pei Ji replaced Yang You’s body with the pseudo-Tang potential, and the royal body is the biggest family. I’m afraid that Pei Shiqi is the real master in the mind of Wenxi Pei’s family.
Yang You personally expressed his willingness to let him enter the cabinet. Now there are representatives in the cabinet, Dou Zhuo and Jing Xiang, representatives of Xiao Yu, Bashu and Zhang Qiwen. Although they were suppressed, Wang Shouxin climbed up again.
Nowadays, the representative of the northern cremation is lacking in the cabinet, but Wenxi Pei’s family is also Qinghe Cui, Boling Cui, and Fan Yang Lushi and Taiyuan Wang’s theory is that whoever has certain ability in these families can let him enter the cabinet to balance all forces.
Now that Pei Shiqi is in the situation, he is the best candidate, so there will be four people in the pavilion and Yang Gongren, which is a total of five people in the pavilion construction.
Pei Shiqi was reluctant. He had retired from his post in his seventies, but Yang Guang was not allowed to face Yang You. He came out again, but Pei Shiqi was shocked when Yang You asked him a word.
This sentence is very simple. If you put him in the past, will Li Yuan let him go? Will Pei Ji, the master of Pei Jia, let him go? Yang You put a thick stack of data in front of him. Pei Shizhen picked it up and suddenly froze.
Pei Ji helped Datang to squander the savings of Wenxi Pei’s family for many years. I don’t know how Yang You got these materials, but although his surname is Pei, he is not a pure Wenxi.
Before Tang gaozu proclaimed himself emperor, Pei Shiqi received a letter from Wenxi’s hometown saying that Pei Ji desperately wanted to be the master of Pei Jia’s family. At that time, the whole Pei family was opposed to the Wenxi Pei family in crimson county. How could a Sangquan person in Hedong county tell him what to do?
Although there was no news later, it proved that Pei Ji was very likely to enter the Pei family. If Pei Ji really entered the Pei family, it was not impossible to squander Pei family wealth to support Tang gaozu.
As Yang You said, being kicked out of the stage automatically is like being kicked out of the stage by Pei Shiqi. It is impossible for Yang Guang to return to Wenxi after being established as an emperor by Li Yuan.
Pei Ji potential I’m afraid he just entered the sphere of influence of Datang and turned into a corpse. After thinking, Pei Shiqi accepted Yang You’s terms, but Pei Shiqi knew through Yang You’s talk that Yang You was waiting for someone. What should he do after he knew?
With the help of veteran officials such as Zhao Cai and Pei Shiqi, many ministers are no longer afraid, especially when they see that Pei Shiqi has been appointed.
Of course, when the anti-thief leaders such as Yu Wenshi and Tang Fengyi were arrested, the ministers were all white. Nowadays, it is not easy to let people go. There is one word for those first crimes, that is, "kill."
