Chapter 278: The Route of the Army, the Great Victory in Hedong


As the Li family used their high prestige in Taiyuan to recruit troops.

The strength is strong in an instant, and the army is on one side, with the armament of 80,000 troops.

For a while, as Tang King Li Yuan announced that he was about to raise an army against the Sui, the strategic decision to go south to seize Guanlong was unanimously agreed by the ministers.

Subsequently, Li Yuan personally swore an oath outside the city of Taiyuan.

For a time, the morale of tens of thousands of troops was extremely high, and they marched south to the Guanlong area It is only said that Li Yuan personally led the main army through Hedong to attack it.

Due to Gao Qi's arrival, Li Shimin has long been the county guard of Xihe.

Therefore, compared with history, Xihe County has already become the territory of the Li family.

Therefore, after consideration, Li Yuan ordered his eldest son Li Jiancheng and second son Li Shimin to go to Xihe County.

Led the troops of Xihe to Huoyi to break through Huoyi, and then moved closer to Chang'an in many ways.

With a few days of southward movement, the main force led by Li Yuan can be said to have won consecutive battles all the way.

It almost swept through the east of the river, and soon occupied most of the territory east of the river.

But at this moment, an urgent military situation came from the direction of Huoyi.

That is, due to the lack of troops in Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's troops, they encountered the resistance of the strong general Song Laosheng in Huoyi.

For a while, due to the lack of troops, it was repeatedly unable to capture Huoyi Jiancheng.

Li Yuan, who had received an urgent military situation, couldn't help but immediately convene all the ministers under his command to discuss together.

In the end, after deliberation, Li Yuan reformulated the route.

Divide the army into three lines and attack together First of all, Li Yuanfeng's eldest son, Li Jiancheng, became the Duke of Longxi, and launched a full-scale attack on Song Laosheng's army from the east of the city, and then joined up with the army in the south of the city.

Secondly, Li Yuanfeng's second son, Li Shimin, was the Duke of Dunhuang, and launched a full-scale attack on Song Laosheng's army from the south of the city, and then joined up with the army in the east of the city.

In the end, Li Yuan personally served as the general, leading 30,000 troops from the south of the city to rush directly to Song Laosheng's army, and flank Song Laosheng's army from behind.

The three-way army finally broke the Song Laosheng army through concerted efforts, and Huoyi was conquered.

After conquering Huoyi, Li Yuan still ordered his troops to divide into three routes, marching towards Fenshui, Jiangxian, and Longmen, and after winning the victory, they would meet to the east of the river.

Li Yuan's army marched to Zichaoyi, the goal was to capture Chang'an, Li Jiancheng's department was stationed in Fengcang, and Li Shimin's army detoured to Chang'an through Gaoling.

With nearly a month of southward campaigning, Li's entire army finally fully occupied the entire territory of Hedong.

Subsequently, Li Jiancheng led Pei Lian, Liu Wenjing and other ministers to suddenly attack the important town of Tongguan.

And Li Yuan, the king of Tang, also led the main army to slowly march to the east of the river, and the front of the army pointed directly at Chang'an.

Li Shimin also led the army to the flank of Chang'an.

With his outstanding ability to command troops, Li Shimin quickly swept away the peripheral resistance of the Sui army.

Then he led the army to unite with the main army of Li Yuan who arrived and besieged Chang'an.

For a time, due to the Sui army's successive losses in January, the generals were defeated and the territory was lost. made the city guard Wei Wensheng and Lu Zhi, who was born randomly, have to defend the city with all their might.

Immediately, it was only said that the reinforcements who came to support Chang'an outside Tongguan were said.

Li Jiancheng used the strategy of Liu Wenjing and Pei Lin to lead the army to annihilate the reinforcements.

For a while, the safety of Tongguan was lifted, and Li Jiancheng led the army to Chang'an.

In a hurry, I saw that the Li army's army was more powerful and surrounded Chang'an City in an all-round way.

On Chang'an City, several people were standing on top of the city tower, slowly watching the dense Li army below.

After a long time, a middle-aged military general couldn't help but sigh and said, "Pharmacist, I don't listen to what you said at the beginning."

"At that time, you were extremely sure that Li Yuan's family would definitely rebel and stand on their own, but Ben Jiang and Lu Shuai didn't care."

"But now, I didn't expect Li Yuan's family to be so strong and terrifying, suppressing our army into the city without moving" After finishing speaking, I saw the middle-aged military general shaking his head and sighing endlessly, with a regretful expression.

This middle-aged military general is Wei Wensheng, the guard general of Chang'an, and the veteran next to him is Lu Zhi, a great Confucian in the late Han Dynasty, who was born randomly.

As for the young man who was called a pharmacist by Wei Wensheng, he was Li Jing, the invincible military god in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties in history.

It is only said that Li Jing is also like in history, exposing to him the truth that Li Yuan's family has hidden antipathy.

It's just that no one paid attention to it, which led to Li Yuan's current scale development and growth.

Hearing this, Lu Zhi on the side smiled bitterly: "Hehe" "Li Yuan is already a prince and a very popular minister, who would have thought that he was so ambitious and wanted to steal the throne?"

For a moment, several people shook their heads and sighed with a wry smile on the top of the tower.

After all, now that the Li army is in full swing and attacking, the Sui army has gone.

Even if Li Jing is now using his troops like a god, it will not help Because, the Li army has already occupied the overall advantage, and the overall situation has been decided In addition to holding on to Chang'an City, the Sui army survived.

There is no hope of turning defeat into victory After the siege, it is only said that Li Yuan did not immediately attack.

Instead, he listened to the plan of his second son Li Shimin and ordered people to copy thousands of letters of persuasion.

Shoot a bow and arrow into the city and cause chaos.

But there is no doubt that Lu Zhi and Wei Wensheng sternly refused to surrender to Li Yuan.

It's just that the plan of Li Shimin, who is the Heavenly Khan, is not so simple It is only said that the thousands of letters of persuasion copied have counted all kinds of angry and resentful events that the Sui Dynasty has been annoyed by since Yang Guang became emperor.

For a while, the people of the city picked up the letters of surrender and leaned close to the literate people.

Immediately, the literate man sent out the letters of persuasion.

In an instant, it was only said that the people in the city suddenly became uneasy.

After all, almost all of Yang Guang's crimes that Li Shimin has experienced exist.

Therefore, it is normal to provoke the anger and anxiety of the people in the city "Report, General Wei" "The Li army sent letters of persuasion into the city one after another."

"The contents of the letter have listed all kinds of crimes against His Majesty, and now the people have begun to be agitated" For a while, the guards in the city walked up to the city tower in an instant and bowed to Wei Wensheng.

Hearing this, Li Jing on the side reacted instantaneously and yelled: "It's not good" "This is the Li army's plan to attack the heart, this is to use the persuasion letter to disturb the city, and want our army to spontaneously start civil strife."

"Then the Li army took advantage of the situation to attack the city, and then effortlessly attacked Chang'an City in one fell swoop" "I have to say, this person in the Li army should not be underestimated" For a while, even Li Jing praised the person who made this plan.

Hearing Li Jing's words, Wei Wensheng suddenly felt the seriousness. arranged for Lu Zhi to continue to stick to the front line of the city tower, and then personally led the army to settle the people in the city.

After a long period of hard work, Wei Wensheng barely calmed the hearts of many people.

For a time, the Chang'an War was about to erupt and the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
