In addition to the worrying situation in the west, the martial arts were also threatened by the Sui army, which enabled Li Yuan to increase his troops and take strict precautions. In the east, Wang Shichong just broke down Shi Biao’s beaten army and occupied the river recently, which relieved the threat of Wagang to Luoyang.

The gradual growth of Wang Shichong is also a very unfavorable signal, especially after Datang gave up hongnong county and gave up the two frontline positions in Xin’ an and Yiyang, Henan County, Tong directly exposed Wang Shichong’s soldiers.
Now, the Datang forces should guard against Qu Tutong in Longxi and the northern counties of Sui Jun in Nanyang basin, and also guard against Turks. Although Wen Dalin has successfully sent a mission to Turkic brocade and silk this time, he said that Turkic Khan had withdrawn his troops, but Datang Turkic is an old fox. How can Tang Yuan withdraw the northern soldiers?
State affairs are difficult. Although Li Yuan doesn’t have white hair all night like Yu Culture, he also has a lot of white hair. When he was pacing and thinking, the eunuch Wang Xinjun said, "I am too eager to see you."
"Xuan!" Tang gaozu immediately said with a slight vibration that he would pack up his face and sit on the soft couch.
"I have seen my father!" Li Jiancheng came in immediately upon tang gaozu talk Li Jiancheng quickly straight up the body tang gaozu slightly one leng too always pay attention to etiquette?
Li Jiancheng handed the letter to his face with a smile. "Dad defeated Song Jingang five days ago and is now pursuing Jinyang City."
Tang gaozu smell speech exultation, he quickly looked at the letter exhibition.
Baibi five days ago
Li Shimin Camp is stationed here. He has been here for half a year. During most of the six months, he chose to be stationed in the camp. Sometimes, he took Yinshan, Liu Hongji and others to sneak into Song Jingang for providing foodstuff.
Although Song Jingang is vigilant, it is not enough to defend blindly. There are still one or two times when Li Shimin burned the grain and grass, and the first time Song Jingang lost a lot.
It was his sneak attack on Tang Jun that won a lot of trench generals, Wei Chijingde, and returned home full of photos, but no one thought that meeting Li Shimin halfway made him lose all his efforts and lost 500 horses instead.
That’s 500 horses. Song Jingang is very painful. By this time, Song Jin just saw that Li Shimin is not just a little puss-head. He is a tiger who hides his claws. It seems that people and animals are actually harmful, but he is waiting for the opportunity to kill you at any time.
Song Jingang is not ignorant of Li Shimin’s idea, and he also knows that he can’t drag it like this, otherwise it will be very unfavorable for the supply line to be unusually long. Song Jingang wants to attack Li Shimin, but the defense of Baibi camp in Li Shimin is extremely strong. There are more than five layers of refusing horses alone, and there are several crossbowmen behind it. If you want to rush, you must pay huge casualties.
When Song Jingang was still thinking about breaking the enemy, the bad news came. First, Huang Ying, who was in charge of escorting grain and grass, met Princess Pingyang, and Li Xiuning set Yang Jun’s grain on fire. The burning of Huang Ying’s grain meant that Song Jingang needed more time to get life-saving food.
It will take less than half a month to transport food again, which means that Song Jingang needs to tighten its belt in the past two months. When the two armies face each other, food is not only a thing to fill the stomach, but also a symbol of morale.
If the soldiers know that the lack of food will inevitably lead to a sharp drop in morale, this complex army will fall into the abyss of death. For Song Jingang, food is everything, and the soldiers must not know that he is short of food.
Song Jingang came to try to hide from the soldiers and think about other strategies, but two days later, an urgent letter from Liu Wuzhou forced Song Jingang to re-examine it.
Liu Wuzhou’s letter is very simple, with a few words, but it is fatal. Luo Yi, the manager of Youzhou, sent general Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun to lead 30 thousand troops to bypass Mayi via the Flying Fox Trail.
The news was so abrupt that it not only surprised Liu Wuzhou, but also made Song Jingang lose his sense of proportion. Luo Yi military forces appeared in Mayi, and whatever Mayi he had in Li Tang was threatened by Luo Yi.
Liu Wuzhou Nanliu Mayi military forces have such a proportion, and Luo Yi may not take advantage of it, but the attack on its lair is a great blow to the morale of Yang Jun.
Previously, the Turkic Khan sent someone to inform him that the Turkic Empire was about to withdraw from this battle. The reason for the Turkic Khan was very simple. After half a year passed, the Turks did not get any benefits, and the grassland was about to wither in autumn, so they needed to recall the Turkic warriors for the winter and prepare for it.
The withdrawal of Turks made Yang Jun’s greatest reliance disappear. How could Yang Jun confront Li Tang with a Mayi?
The danger of lack of food Luo Yi threatened the Turks to retreat, which plunged Song Jingang into a pre-crisis situation. After thinking about it, he decided to retreat. According to Song Jingang’s plan, he was going to retreat to the northern Jiexiu of Rat Bird Valley, and then relied on the terrain of Rat Bird Valley to tightly block Li Shimin from Jiexiu. It was decided that Yang Jun and the northern state could rely on it.
This Song Jingang made careful arrangements. He let Wei Chijingde and his troops escape after finding the phase. However, when Li Shimin heard that Song Jingang had withdrawn, he immediately led his troops to pursue it. It was more than 200 miles in one day and one night, which made Song Jingang exhausted.
On this day and night, Li Shimin’s pro-handsome cavalry constantly attacked Wei Chijingde and the phase-seeking battle. The Li Shimin army won in dozens of battles. Tang Jun chased the Gaobiling Mountain. Liu Hongji recognized that the soldiers were tired and the three armies were short of food. They had to wait for the main force and food to arrive before they could move on. Otherwise, they would be besieged by Song Jingang alone. Once the king of Qin lost this victory, wouldn’t it be surrendering?
Li Shimin, however, thinks that Song Jingang has failed, and the soldiers’ centrifugal force must be wiped out at one go, or he will be given a chance to rest. Song Jingang’s generation of lean men must take time to rest and guard. Once he is allowed to escape to Jiexiu City, it will be difficult to attack again with the help of the wall.
Li Shimin said that he immediately whipped North Liu Hongji, Yinshan and others to ride on with Li Shimin. Rat finch valley once again chased Wei Chijingde behind the house and found a phase. One day, there was a battle between the two sides. Li Shimin took the lead and braved the arrows.
Li Shimin, the king of Qin, led Tang Jun’s morale and desperately impacted the war in Yang Jun and Yang Junlai, and Tang Jun was so desperate that he had to flee for his life in a hubbub and was killed by Tang Jun by tens of thousands of people.
However, Rat Bird Valley is a narrow road, and it is certain that Yang Jun can escape to the north, and successive wars have exhausted Song Jingang. Many soldiers have either been killed or chosen to surrender more than 10,000 troops, leaving 20,000.
When Song Jingang escaped into Jiexiu City, all the soldiers were flustered, and their helmets were tilted aside, and their armor was tattered. Without the glory of the past, Yang Jun and Song Jingang faintly felt bad when they looked at the defeat.
He can’t tell what this bad situation is. It is a kind of consciousness. Judging from Li Shimin’s performance these days, he is an extremely forbearing person. When the fighter plane comes, he will never give up. Song Jingang thinks that if he can give himself a little, he will be able to stabilize his morale. But will Li Shimin give him this chance?
Chapter 476 Bing War []
This answer doesn’t need Song Jingang to think for a long time because the reason is simple.
Song Jingang has just stepped into Jiexiu and hasn’t come yet. Without taking a bath and eating a meal, the scouts will get the news, and Li Shimin, the god of death, is coming! Li Shimin, who killed tens of thousands of people in Yang Jun, has come!
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 went to one side and took a map to show 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 it is by no means so easy to deal with the fact that the number of soldiers and horses in various counties can reach 30,000.
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, "?"
