Li Ke was stabbed in the arm by Ran Min's spear, and the Han soldiers around him swarmed up, pushed Li Keyong to the ground, found a rope and tied it up, and waited for the battle to end.
After Li Keyong was captured, the Tang army was even more leaderless, and the army was defeated like a mountain, half of the men and horses followed Shi Jingsi to the east to defect to the main army led by Li Shimin, and the rest were captured except for those who died in battle.
Ran Min won a complete victory, captured Li Keyong, the main general of the Tang Army, in World War I, annihilated more than 8,000 enemies, captured more than 6,000 prisoners, and completely resolved the crisis of Jinan being attacked by the north and south.
"Come on, divide Li Ke's body with five horses for me, and pay tribute to the innocent souls who died tragically under Tang Kou's knife" Ran Min stood on the city wall of Pingyang County, let the autumn wind blow the robe and hunt, and angrily ordered his soldiers to sentence Li Keyong to five horses in front of the people.
Wei Wuji hurriedly dissuaded: "General Ran, killing a Li Ke is as easy as a hand, it doesn't have much effect except for letting the people relieve their hatred, it is better to send someone to Jinling to invite merit and reward, it will definitely be a great achievement." ” Since Ran Min defected to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he has been silent at other times except for his performance in the Jiangling battle against Lu Bu, and this time he broke Li Keyong in Taishan County, which is the most brilliant one.
After listening to Wei Wuji's advice, Ran Min was no longer stubborn, and ordered Li Keyong to be temporarily imprisoned in Pingyang County, and then escorted Li Keyong to Jiangdong to ask for merit after repelling the Tang army and recovering Xuzhou.
Just when Ran Min broke Li Keyong, Li Shimin led more than 100,000 Tang troops to leave Pingshou and go straight to Ju County, and the veteran generals Lian Po and Xin Qiji led 40,000 county soldiers to defend the city, stubbornly blocking the Tang army's onslaught for a day and night, making Juxian stand tall and making it difficult for hundreds of thousands of Tang troops to cross Lei Chi.
Just when Li Shimin was at a loss, the Tang army scout Pegasus came to report: "Your Majesty, Qin Qiong has led 100,000 Xuzhou troops to pass through Anqiu, and it is only fifty miles away from Ju County, please make a decision quickly."
Li Shimin couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed: "If Yuanba is here, why worry about the drama county is not broken" Li Shimin's next words did not come out, but his face was gloomy as the sky before the storm, and he said to himself with hatred in his heart: "Eldest grandson Wuji, eldest grandson Wuji, I am very grateful for everything you have paid for me, but your situation today is completely due to Liu Wei, shouldn't you coax Yuanba to help me deal with Liu Wei and avenge yourself, why did you bewitch Yuanba to return to the peninsula with you, and indirectly help Liu Wei weaken the strength of our army?"
Thinking of this, Li Shimin was furious, and involuntarily held the jade pendant on his waist with one palm, and suddenly used force, unconsciously tearing the jade pendant apart, piercing the palm of his hand and unconsciously noticing: "Since you don't miss the old love, don't blame me for being unjust."
Liu Wei has his own Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and Li Shimin also has his spy organization, which is called "Shenjiwei" in the Tang Dynasty, and its responsibilities are similar to those of Jinyiwei in the Eastern Han Dynasty, responsible for spying on intelligence, monitoring officials, and arresting important prisoners, etc., which has been one of the most relied on forces by Li Shimin since its establishment.
The commander of the Shenji Guard, surnamed Liu Mingqingshan, is the number one ranger on the Korean Peninsula in the records of wild history, known as the enemy of thousands of people with his bare hands, and he can easily walk the wall with his feet, and he can use the branches as a hidden weapon to kill people invisibly.
Records about this person are not only circulated in the wild history, but also mentioned in the Wei and Jin books, the princes of the Korean Peninsula and the overlord of Liaodong, Gongsun Yuan, have sent people to recruit him, and even after Cao Pi became emperor, he also sent people to the Korean Peninsula to find this person, and wanted to get his service, but they were politely refused or did not find any trace of him.
Li Shimin relied on the rapid rise of the Longcheng State, unified the entire Korean Peninsula in just two or three years, established a unified Tang State, and expanded the territory to Liaodong and the entire Northeast, and recently even almost won the entire Youzhou, as well as the northern and eastern coastal areas of Jizhou, which made Liu Qingshan appreciate Li Shimin very much, and under Li Shimin's repeated invitations, he happily came out to help Li Shimin take charge of the Divine Guard.
Li Shimin snapped his fingers and summoned Liu Qingshan to the front, and commanded in his ear: "That eldest grandson Wujian tricked King Zhao to return to the Tang Dynasty, which greatly weakened the combat strength of our army.
I speculate that this woman is a traitor sent by Liu Bian, and it is also a bitter trick to help me pull Cheng Qian in Jinling, so you quickly return to the peninsula and find an opportunity to secretly kill the eldest grandson."
Liu Qingshan was a middle-aged man of about thirty-five or sixteen years old, of medium stature and keen eyes, and after listening to Li Shimin's instructions, he arched his hand and asked: "It is easy to kill the eldest grandson Wujian, but will this anger King Zhao?"
"That's why you secretly assassinated" Li Shimin took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on his palm, "Yuanba has a bad brain, as long as he doesn't find out the whereabouts of your god guard, and find a reason to push it on Liu Wei, it will definitely make Yuanba go crazy and take revenge on the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"Weichen understands," Liu Qingshan gave his hand.
Li Shimin continued: "In terms of assassination, Oda Nobunaga, the first ninja of the Wa Kingdom in the whole world, has been attached to my Tang Dynasty, and has not really contributed to me until now.
I heard that there were three major assassins under Oda Nobunaga's command, in addition to Hattori Hanzo who died under Liu Wei, there were two others named Wind Demon Kotaro and Miyamoto Musashi, and I would repair a letter to Oda Nobunaga, asking him to send one of them to the peninsula with a Toei ninja to help you assassinate Eldest Sun Muji" "Obey the holy oracle," Liu Qingshan gave his hand.
Li Shimin waved his hand: "Go, the sooner you get rid of this demon girl, the better, I urgently need the help of Yuanba" Liu Qingshan agreed, led dozens of the most elite divine guards to turn over and get on their horses, and galloped east to Penglai with their whips.
If you die, Butcher Zhang won't eat pigs with hair, and without Li Yuanba, the Tang Army will have to continue to fight.
Since the Xuzhou army arrived, in order to avoid being attacked from the left and right, Li Shimin ordered a temporary retreat of thirty miles, set up camp, and sent an envoy to Qin Qiong to issue a war letter, agreeing to fight at the White Snake Ridge at noon tomorrow.
"I heard that Ran Min broke Li Keyong in Taishan County, in addition to bullying more and less, your Tang army is not vulnerable at all when the number of troops is equal, and it is Sun Tzu who does not dare to fight."
After reading the letter, Qin Qiong tore it to pieces, and ordered the envoy's ear to be cut off, wrapped in a gift box and sent it back to Li Shimin, and gave him some color to see.
Qin Qiong ordered to set up a camp fifteen miles away from the county, and Lian Po was a horn for each other, and the soldiers recuperated at night, waited for the day, and waited for a big battle with the Tang army after dawn the next day.
The autumn wind is bleak, the leaves are scattered, the weather is getting cooler, and there is a sense of slaughter between heaven and earth.
The next day, Qin Qiong left Yang Yanzhao to lead 20,000 horses to guard the camp, and personally led Wei Chigong, Qin Yong, Wu Song, Liyi and others with Xu Da to raise 80,000 troops and march to the White Snake Ridge in a neat pace.
Lian Po, who was sitting in Xixian County, also ordered the city gate to be opened, and personally led 20,000 county soldiers out of the city from the flank to help, leaving only Xin Qiji and Beihai State Minister Xin Bi to lead 18,000 county soldiers to guard the city.
At noon, the two armies met in the open White Snake Ridge, and burst out with a tsunami-like shout, each of which fired arrows in unison, shooting at the position, and confronted each other from a distance of 150 zhang.
Qin Qiong urged the thunder leopard under his crotch, hung a four-edged gold armor on his back, and carried a gold stove gun, and went out first.
On Qin Qiong's side, there are Xu Da and Wu Song on the left, Chi Gong, Qin Yong, and Lu Yi on the right, all of them are in high spirits and high morale, Qin Qiong shouted loudly: "Li Shimin, you are a thief of Fanbang, you dare to repeatedly offend my Han without repentance, but you dare to come out and fight to the death with me."
Li Shimin looked back left and right, and found that there were only three generals around him, Wanyan Jin Danzi, Yuan Gai Suwen, and Li Siyuan.
In the early morning, Li Shimin had already received the news that Li Ke was defeated and captured, and seeing the strong lineup of the Eastern Han Dynasty at this moment, Li Shimin's heart suddenly felt a sense of sadness: "Hehe, it seems that I am at a low point Cao Wei, and I underestimate the Eastern Han Dynasty In the case of Liu Wei fighting everywhere, sending troops to Guishuang, and attacking the Western Han Dynasty with all his might, the number of troops and generals drawn is still far greater than that of my Tang Dynasty, if our army stands in Cao Wei's perspective and confronts the Eastern Han Dynasty, I am afraid that it will lose even worse."
It wasn't until Li Yuanba left that Li Shimin suddenly found that he had no qualifications to despise Cao Wei at all, Cao Wei had a dragon and a tiger, a general of the four spirits, Jia Fu, Jing Bu, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Wang Yanzhang, Xia Luqi and other six people are all tiger generals of the three armies, and the other Pang De, Cao Zhang, Shan Xiongxin, Jing Si, and Lu Zhishen are also fierce generals, and now there are giant Wuba and Ruan Weng Zhong to join Cao Cao's command, and Tang Guo In addition to Li Yuanba, there are a few generals who can go out In terms of strategists, in addition to Cao Cao's own scheming, Fan Zeng, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, and Sima Yi are all strategists, and a rising star named Fan Li has recently emerged, plus Zhao Pu, who has just changed his court, as well as Cheng Yu, Xun You, Liu Fu, Wu Yong and other mainstays, Cao Wei's strategist lineup has also surpassed Li Tang by a large margin.
In addition to Li Shimin himself, the three major commanders of Li Ji, Li Mu, and Li Sunchen have always performed steadily and have not made any mistakes.
But in addition to the commander-in-chief, Li Shimin found that Li Tang was completely inferior compared to Cao Weilai, and all the shortcomings were almost completely exposed after Li Yuanba left.
"Alas, it's not that Cao Wei is too weak, but the Eastern Han Dynasty is too strong, this Liu Wei's strength is too rebellious, looking at all dynasties and generations, I am afraid that there is no such strength combined, not only unprecedented, but also will be extinct" Li Shimin looked at the Eastern Han Dynasty generals opposite, and suddenly became heroic and short of breath.
There are fierce generals who may not be able to win, but if there are not enough fierce generals to press the charge, then there is almost no hope of winning t1706231537:
