In the territory of Beihai State, the Tang Army camp.
Fan Zeng hurried up after Langya parted ways with Kuai Liang and Xu Chu, and spent two days and two nights arriving at the Tang Army's base camp in Pingshou County, Beihai State.
In the past period of time, the fierce battle between the Han and Wei dynasties was in full swing, and Li Shimin was not idle, first united with Cao Wei to invade Xuzhou, and then released the wind to prepare to attack Jiangdong again, all for the sake of striking the east and attacking the west, the real purpose is to take Qingzhou and pull out this thorn in the back.
But what made Li Shimin depressed was that the Han Dynasty military group headed by Liu Wei was not moved at all, and did not even send a single soldier to Jiangdong, but instead sent Ran Min, Peng Yue, Long Ji, Guo Huai and others to reinforce Qingzhou, causing the Tang army to lose the best opportunity to attack.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Shimin took advantage of the fact that the reinforcements of the Han army had not yet arrived in Qingzhou, and immediately led Jin Danzi, Li Sunchen, Yuangai Suwen, Li Siyuan and other fierce generals to divide into three routes, and landed in Qingzhou from Chengshantou, Huangxian, and Dongmu respectively, with 50,000 troops and horses each, and stormed the coastal Donglai County and the counties under the rule of Beihai State.
Xiao He, the new Qingzhou assassin, learned that the Tang army was menacing, and Li Shimin personally raised troops to attack, while repairing the book to ask Li Jing and the Jinling court for help, and on the other hand, he sent Lian Po and Xin Qiji to organize the county soldiers to fight to the east.
The county soldiers in the hands of Lian Po were only 40,000, and the Tang army that attacked across the sea was as many as 150,000, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge.
The Tang Army of the Third Route was invincible all the way in Jiaodong, connecting more than 20 county towns such as Huangxian, Muping, Changyang, Yexian, Tingxian, Jimo, Gaomi, etc., completely controlling the two counties of Beihai and Donglai, and firmly holding the Jiaodong Peninsula in their hands.
At this moment, things that Li Tang Group did not expect happened one after another, first Le Yi and Fan Li successfully attacked Xiapi, allowing Cao Wei to occupy the Xuzhou governance office in one fell swoop, so that Li Shimin, who got the news, was not depressed.
"It's really cheap Cao Agui, our army poured out of the nest, and it took so long to take Donglai and Beihai until now, but I didn't expect Cao Jun to go down to Peiguo, Pengcheng, Xiapi and other places in one go, and made wedding dresses for others in vain, and I was angry."
Li Shanchang suggested: "If it weren't for Shi Jingsi and Li Ke using two troops and horses to contain Qin Qiong, how could Cao Jun be able to get hands so easily, Cao Cao now has a request for Your Majesty, and he can send someone to ask Cao Cao for a part of the land as compensation."
Before Li Shimin could figure out how to blackmail Cao Cao, he got the news that Li Jing had annihilated Cao Bin in Nanpi, and then led an army of 180,000 to smash Yecheng, and immediately sweated for Cao Cao: "Look at Li Jing's posture and prepare to go straight to the capital of Wei, Cao Agui's defense is too poor, and there is a chance that the nest will be destroyed by Li Jing."
While watching the changes in Jizhou, Li Shimin continued to lead the Tang army to advance to the hinterland of Qingzhou, echoing the north and south of Li Ji's army from Bohai County, and successively conquering five county towns, including Yi'an, Pingchang, Anqiu, Gumu, and Chunyu.
And Li Ji's army also went all the way south from Bohai County, Liankeling, Yangxin, Banxian and other places, drinking the Yellow River, and looking at Jinan on the south bank of the Yellow River.
At this moment, the news that Li Jing conquered the capital of Wei and captured all Cao Cao's concubines and the Manchu Dynasty ministers spread rapidly, shocking the world again, and even Li Shimin was convinced: "Li Jing is amazing, it is simply Liu Bian's reincarnation Han Xin, if there is no such talent to assist, how can Liu Biao be arrogant and start a war all over the world."
Almost at the same time as Li Jing's conquest of Yecheng, Wei Qing and Yu Juluo led 20,000 Han troops across the Yellow River to Pingling, the seat of Jinan's state administration, and joined Xu Sheng and Wei Wuji, who were defending the city, so that the strength of Jinan rose to 40,000 and morale increased.
Wei Qing organized defense in Jinan on the one hand, built fortifications, and at the same time ordered the messenger to summon Long and Guo Huai to come to reinforcements, and the second general led 30,000 horses to gallop in the starry night, and it took two days to arrive outside the city of Jinan, and the army was in one place, and the prestige was stronger.
Seeing that the Han army was rapidly assembling troops and horses in Jinan, Li Ji did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and led his troops across the Yellow River, and confronted Wei Qing from 80 miles away from the Tunbarn County, and at the same time sent envoys to closely contact Li Shimin on the East Road.
Just when the war was about to break out, Ran Min and Peng Yue also led a hundred and ten cavalry to Linzi, and after seeing Xiao He, the assassin of Qingzhou, they rushed to the Weiqing camp to help in the battle.
Wei Qing has been using troops in the north for many years, and he knows Ran Min's martial arts well, and he was overjoyed when he saw Ran Min: "Haha, except for Li Yuanba, whoever is General Ran's opponent in the Tang Army has to be helped by the general, and Qingzhou can sit back and relax."
Just when Wei Qing was fighting against Li Ji in Jinan, Qin Qiong and Xu Da also led Yang Liulang, Wei Chigong, Wu Song, Qin Yong, Liyi and others to raise 100,000 troops, passed through Langya and went north to Linqu, and stationed troops in Zhuxu County.
Unexpectedly, the Han army actually adopted the strategy of abandoning Xuzhou to defend Qingzhou, and unexpectedly transferred 100,000 Xuzhou Corps to the north, plus the 50,000 Han army naval divisions in Jiaozhou Bay, the Weiqing Corps stationed in Jinan, and the 40,000 county soldiers of Lianpo, the Han army in Qingzhou increased to 260,000, and the Tang army's strength advantage was wiped out, not to mention that it was possible to conquer Linzi and Jinan again, and it was even possible that the Han army would form a counteroffensive and recover the lost territory.
"This game of chess is really bad, dragged down by Cao Apu, a pig ally" Li Shimin was angry and depressed, and slapped the table and was furious.
At this moment, the captain guarding the door came to report: "Your Majesty, there is an old man with gray hair outside the door, who calls himself Fan Zeng, the prime minister of Cao Wei, who came by the order of Emperor Great Wei and is waiting to be summoned."
"Fan Zeng" Li Shimin, who is already thirty-five years old, frowned and groaned, "I was about to ask Cao Cao Xingshi about the crime, this Fan Zeng came just in time, and quickly brought him into the handsome tent to see me."
After a while, although his hair was gray, but his spirit was still strong, Fan stepped into Li Shimin's handsome tent, and said with a humble and arrogant manner: "The emperor of the Tang State is above, and Fan Zeng, the prime minister of the Great Wei, is polite."
Li Shimin's tone was not friendly: "Hmph, I am planning to send someone to ask Cao Mengde Xingshi for the crime, you came at the right time, listen to everything I say, and go back and tell Cao Mengde word for word."
"Tang and Wei are alliances, equal to each other, regardless of priority, how can Xingshi ask the guilty one and say" Fan Zeng is the prime minister of a country, and he will naturally not be easily suppressed in terms of momentum.
Li Shimin was sitting precariously, touching the table with his hand and said: "First, Cao Wei's generals used troops without authorization, and put the cart before the horse for the sake of petty profits.
This Leyi and Fan Li didn't take good care of their homes in Jizhou, but they went to Xuzhou to sneak attack Xiapi, and the result was good, although Xiapi won it, they lost Yecheng, which was simply picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, which greatly destroyed our army's battle plan.
If it weren't for the two of them using troops without authorization, you wouldn't have lost Yecheng, and Xiapi would have been taken by Shi Jingsi and Li Keyong, and now it's our Tang Kingdom."
Fan Zeng was silent when he heard this.
Li Shimin's words are simply a crime that he wants to add, there is no excuse, Le Yi and Fan Li only brought 20,000 horses with them in the sneak attack, and even if they stayed, they couldn't defend Yecheng.
Li Shimin was obviously annoyed that the Wei army had captured Xiapi, and let the Tang army that landed in Xuzhou pick bones in the eggs in the bamboo baskets.
But after all, the situation of Wei is much more dangerous than that of Tang now, and Fan Zeng has no choice but to endure it if he can, and let Li Shimin spray a few words.
Seeing that Fan Zeng didn't speak, Li Shimin continued to spray: "Second, your generals of the Wei State are simply wine bags and rice bags, and tying a piece is not enough for Yuan Ba to fight This Cao Bin is simply a rice bucket, dig a pit and jump inside, and 50,000 horses are annihilated in one fell swoop."
Cao Ren is also a waste, even losing Xuchang and Chen Liu, and being defeated and retreated by the Han army, which led to the Han army easily gathering troops, which greatly increased the difficulties of our army, and it was simply a pig ally" Fan Zeng suddenly stopped doing it, and immediately shot back strongly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the Han army is so strong, the world knows that Yue Fei is sticking to Wancheng and standing like Mount Tai; Liu Wei swept the boundaries and annihilated the princes, and was invincible.
Wu Qi's army went west, destroyed Guishuang, and captured Yingzheng; Li Jingbei carried two Li, making it difficult for your army to cross the thunder pool for several years, and even once crossed the sea to break through the capital Since there is a record, no dynasty has ever had such a strong army."
Fan Zeng's words almost made it clear directly, what kind of big-tailed wolf do you Tang State pretend, if our generals of Wei State are all wine bags and rice bags, how good can you Tang State be Li Ji and Li Mu led an army of 300,000 and Li Jing fought in Bohai County for three or four years, an inch of land is rare, and the capital of your Tang State has also been broken by others, and your father is still in prison in Jinling, what qualifications do you have to laugh at our Wei State If it weren't for our Wei State carrying it on the front line, and letting your Tang State and the Han army go to war, we would definitely be beaten even worse.
At this point, no one should laugh at anyone, no one is better than anyone, or working together to overcome difficulties is the best policy, if you can't help each other in the same boat, the end can only be a cold mouth, and Liu Wei will be broken Listening to Fan Zeng's tough response, Li Shimin was suddenly a little deflated, stroked his beard and said with a depressed face: "Okay, I won't argue with you about this issue, anyway, your Wei State's use of troops is a mess, if you can't quickly reverse the situation, I'm afraid that it may not be certain that you Wei State and the Western Han Dynasty will perish first, you have traveled thousands of miles to Qingzhou, is it here to fight with me?"
Fan Zengzuo said: "The old temper is like this, and if you lose your words, please ask Your Majesty to take care of the current Tang and Wei together, one is prosperous and the other is lost, if Wei is dead, how can Tang and Wei carry a million Han troops, so from now on, Tang and Wei should advance and retreat together, and don't be suspicious."
The reason why Lao Yu came all the way to see His Majesty is that one is to recover Yang Yuhuan, and the other is to ask His Majesty for help, please send General Li Mu south from Bohai County to Yecheng to help our army recapture Yecheng." t1706231537:
