Chapter 542: Songshan captures the king


With Wang Shichong trapped in the lonely city of Luoyang for half a month.

At this moment, Xu Shiji led the main force of the Tang army to join Li Shimin, and then Li Shimin commanded the armies to receive the territory of the rebel army in response.

All of a sudden, the rebels from all over the country joined one after another, and the Tang army took over Mianchi, Xiong'er and other places.

After resting, Li Shimin gathered a large army and rebels from all over the country, raised troops to march eastward, and approached Luoyang, the capital of Zheng's army.

Under the gallop, the flags were hunting on the road to the east, and the Tang soldiers were overwhelming Its smoke billowed out, the momentum of people shouted and the horses neighed, and the drums of war were like a tide.

Subsequently, Hou Junji, the vanguard general of the Tang Army, approached the outskirts of Luoyang first.

Because Zheng Jun was strictly ordered by Wang Shichong to defend the city and refuse to fight, Based on this, Hou Junji directly pushed forward and captured Hanjiacang City first, advancing the battle line in the second.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin also personally led the main force here, approached Luoyang City, set up camp under the city, divided into four battalions, and besieged Luoyang City.

Luoyang City, the city is high and the walls are thick, and Li Shimin also knows that Wang Shichong has done enough precautions.

Then the strong attack must be impossible to capture, so Li Shimin did not try to attack and died of injuries.

However, after the troops were trapped in Luoyang, Li Shimin also ordered the eldest grandson Wuji and Shi Wanbao to lead the army to the surrounding areas of Luoyang.

With Wang Shichong trapped in the lonely city, the Tang army's troops were as strong as a tide and entered the hinterland of Henan County.

After the arrival of the Tang army, the defenders who were already wavering in various places switched on and off.

After a period of fierce fighting, Li Shimin led the army on the right within a few months, and pacified all the territories of Zheng except Luoyang City.

As Luoyang City was isolated by the Tang Army, its situation became more and more critical At this moment, Wang Shichong's heart is also extremely urgent, and he is also infinitely expecting that the forces in various places can distinguish the situation and send troops to rescue each other.

It must be known that Li Tang is in Guanlong, and the support of the Long nobles behind him is if he is seizing the land of Zheng Guo this time.

There is no doubt that Li Tang's strength will go to a higher level, and it will be more difficult to deal with.

The struggle in the Central Plains has been going on to this point, and the anti-king forces in the world have basically been established.

Among them, the southern Gaoqi has already achieved a decisive victory, and the pacification of Jiangnan is just around the corner As for Zhu Yuanzhang, who is still resisting stubbornly, he is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he will definitely not be able to resist the conquest of the Qi army at that time.

Secondly, it is Cao Cao, who is located in the Central Plains, and Zhu Wen and Huangchao, who are in Shandong. plus Dou Jiande, who is majestic in Hebei, and Luo Yi, the king of Yan, who is struggling to support under the Jin soldiers.

The battle has reached this point, and almost all its weaklings have been eliminated by this era, and only the strongest anti-kings remain.

Wang Shichong believes that whether it is Gao Qi's vision, or Dou Jiande or Cao Cao.

They should all be able to see clearly the harm caused by Li Tang after he destroys Zheng.

When the lips die, the teeth are cold Wang Shichong felt that the anti-kings should not turn a blind eye to the fact that they would be destroyed by Li Tang.

It is only said that when Li Tang was besieging Luoyang, there was urgent news from Hebei.

After Zhu Can arrived in Hebei to meet Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, Dou Jiande almost immediately convened a civil and military discussion.

Subsequently, with everyone's analysis of the situation, most of the civil and military ministers gave up their hands to support and aid Wang Shichong.

Even so, Dou Jiande also issued an order, ordering Liu Heimin to be the left leader and the governor of Dadu, responsible for leading the army to hold the west and defend the Tang army from Taiyuan.

However, with Zhao Kuangyin as the right leader, the commander of the capital, and the leader of the army stuck to the land of Shanggu Yi County.

Always observe the battle situation of Youyan and defend it.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered Lian Po to be the upper pillar of the country, and stationed troops in the Bohai Sea and between the rivers to manage this place.

It was precisely because of the arrangement of the general defense that Dou Jiande personally led the army to the expedition, taking the majestic sea as the opening general.

The general Wang Fubao was a cadre in the army, and then personally raised an army of 100,000, crossed the river to the land of Luoyang, and attacked urgently It is only said that after crossing the Yellow River, the Xia army galloped forward, and almost in a few days, it was only a few dozen miles away from Henan County.

At this time, the Xia army gradually advanced and gradually posed a slight threat to the Tang army.

Also due to the news of reinforcements, the tense atmosphere in Luoyang City was temporarily eased.

At this moment, after the news of Xia Junbing's arrival at Jindi Pass came, Li Shimin also convened the generals in the army to discuss.

After some discussion, Li Shimin decided to personally lead the Xuanjia Army and 20,000 foot soldiers to reinforce Jindi Pass.

Li Shimin felt that Jindi Pass was a dangerous pass to the west into Luoyang, and with the strength of the Guancheng, it would not be a problem for 20,000 soldiers to resist the offensive of the Xia army.

Subsequently, with Xu Shiji, Li Yuanji stayed in the camp and continued to besiege Luoyang, preventing the Zheng army from making contact with the Xia army.

The Golden Causeway is closed At this time, Dou Jiande was struggling to inspire the morale of the army, and ordered Wang Fubao to command the battle with all his strength and storm Jindi Pass.

For a while, the people on the gate shouted like a tide, the rain of arrows was intertwined, and there was a miserable sound under the city.

Up and down the city, the battle was fierce.

It's just that with the strength of the Guancheng of Jindi Pass, coupled with Li Shimin's personal defense of the Guancheng, the pre-defense arrangement is like an iron bucket.

Although the Xia army lost its troops, it could not shake the city in the slightest.

The siege of the city was unsuccessful for several days, and Dou Jiande also considered that the sergeants in the army might not be able to stand such a high-intensity battle.

After thinking about it for a while, he temporarily ordered a strike and rest.

With the temporary cessation of fighting in the war, Li Shimin was very bored for several days in Guanzhong.

Seeing that the war had stopped now, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel excited, so he planned to go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers to hunt.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji, Sima Yi and other advisers were worried about their safety on the grounds that the war was not over.

They all went all out to persuade Li Shimin not to take risks easily, so as not to expose his whereabouts and be besieged by the Xia army.

However, Li Shimin has already made up his mind, so how can he listen to his persuasion The eldest grandson Wuji, since Sima Yi is a top strategist, his style of acting is not static.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Sima Yi couldn't help but change his words and said slowly: "King Qin, since you are so persistent in hunting. ” "Then for the sake of your safety, Zhong Da suggests that His Royal Highness King Zhao follow you."

"His Royal Highness King Zhao is brave and brave, a pair of golden hammers in his hands defeat the invincible opponents in the world, even if he is discovered by the enemy, he can protect King Qin and retreat" Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji also felt that Sima Yi's plan was appropriate, and his thinking changed, echoing Sima Yi.

Of course, Li Shimin is not stupid, and under his persuasion, Li Shimin also agreed to come down and take Li Yuanba with him.

It's just that Li Shimin also intended to take Li Yuanba to play, after all, if it wasn't for his divine power before.

Even if Li Shimin could think of a plan to raid the grain road in the rear, it might not necessarily succeed.

In addition, Li Yuanba is stupid, simple-minded, and slow to react, and Li Er also takes good care of him.

This time, I am also willing to take Li Yuanba together to go out of the customs and relax However, Li Shimin didn't expect that because of his insistence on hunting this time, the Tang Dynasty has since become prosperous.

As Li Shimin prepared all the hunting tools, dozens of black-clad Xuanjia soldiers were escorted.

Immediately after, Li Shimin and Li Yuanba went to the Valley of Hundred Flowers.

When leaving, Sima Yi and the eldest grandson Wuji were responsible for leading the army to guard the pass, waiting for their return.

Valley of Flowers This place is located on the east side of Luoyang, outside the Jindi Pass, and a mountain range near its east.

Originally, the Valley of Flowers was dense in the early years, and there were many wild beasts, but the temple on the mountain rose, and the ancestor of Shaolin crossed the river with reeds, and was founded after the youth.

Baihua Valley was renamed Shaolin Mountain, the outpost of Shaolin Temple, people burn incense and worship Buddha on weekdays, and then pass along the valley.

Over time, the prey that was abundant in the valley gradually disappeared Therefore, this time Li Shimin was resolute and wanted to go to the valley to hunt, but in fact, this was just a pretense.

In fact, Li Shimin's real plan is to go to Songshan Shaolin Temple, please see the host.

Negotiate with him, let him lead the monks down the mountain to help the Tang army, and defeat the menacing Xia army.

Shaomuro Mountain, at the other end, at this time, the group is also walking slowly.

After walking for a long time, the leader looked burly, grabbed the reins, and said slowly: "Yuanlang, are you sure that this king can persuade Shaolin Temple" "Let the monks help our army defeat the Tang army, is this matter very certain?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuanlang said slowly: "King Xia, don't worry about this matter, as long as King Xia goes to invite him sincerely, most of his hosts will agree." ” "You must know that the monks pay attention to the universality of all sentient beings, which actually translates to mean that it is to treat the people with benevolence and righteousness."

"But now the King of Xia is in Hebei, and the people's reputation is very high, benefiting the people, which is not the same as what the monks said about Pudu sentient beings?"

The two people who were talking immediately were Dou Jiande and Xu Yuanlang, the king of Xia.

This time, Dou Jiande's thoughts were the same as Li Shimin's, and he went to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan Mountain to ask for help from monks and soldiers.

Immediately, Li Shimin and Dou Jiande passed by at the other end of their respective mountains.

The target location is very similar, that is, Songshan Shaolin.

After a long journey, Dou Jiande and his group arrived at the mountain gate first, and then ordered the guards to set up a formation outside the mountain gate.

Just when Dou Jiande personally called the door, at this time, Li Shimin also slowly walked through Shaomu Mountain and climbed the mountain gate.

When he was about to continue walking towards the mountain gate, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered something, and then in a blink of an eye, he ordered the whole army to hide in the dense forest next to him.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin quietly hid in the dense forest, paying close attention to this unscrupulous soldier.

Li Shimin has been in the army since he was a child, and he is very sensitive to battle-hardened soldiers.

At this moment, Li Shimin could feel that Dou Jiande's guards were all battlefield soldiers and should not be underestimated "Who is this, who is this, one step ahead of this king, to arrive at Shaolin Temple" Because Dou Jiande's subordinates were all dressed in civilian clothes and were extremely simple, Li Shimin did not immediately learn the truth.

However, at this time, he did not immediately step forward, but slowly stared carefully.

After a long time, Li Shimin glanced by and accidentally found Dou Jiande's face.

For a while, Li Shimin exclaimed and said, "This is Dou Jiande" At that time, during the decisive battle of Siming Mountain, Li Shimin was also ordered to rescue the driver, and he was also very familiar with Dou Jiande.

Although it has been a few years, he remembers Dou Jiande's face very clearly. only said that he was still exclaiming one second, but the next second Li Shimin showed a cold smile.

Because, all this came so easily, without effort Originally, Li Shimin's original intention of visiting Shaolin Temple was to seek support from monks and soldiers, but now he directly bumped into Dou Jiande.

It has to be said that this is not a coincidence Immediately, Li Shimin said coldly: "Dou Jiande, since you met this king today, then you will die."

At this moment, Li Shimin has already come up with a foolproof strategy, that is, to capture the thief and capture the king first.

As long as Dou Jiande is captured, then the Xia army in front of the pass will be self-defeating.

Therefore, thinking of this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment and quietly gave instructions to a Xuanjia sergeant.

Relieved, the Xuanjia sergeant quietly descended the mountain and left.

Immediately after, Li Shimin arranged to order dozens of Xuanjia sergeants to be ready to rush out at any time and capture Dou Jiande alive.

Hearing the order, although the Xuanjia army did not speak, they informed Li Shimin with the movements in their hands.

They are ready to fight at any time The Xuanjia Army is indeed worthy of being an elite, and its words and deeds are all in brutal actions.

Immediately, Li Shimin's face changed, and he walked slowly to Li Yuanba, who was squatting on the side and playing with a branch.

"Yuanba, can you do the second brother a favor?"

Hearing the words and Li Shimin's words, Li Yuanba was immediately elated, and said with a smile: "Second brother, what are you talking about." ” "Yuanba is your own brother, your words are orders, and Yuanba will definitely obey them."

Seeing that Li Yuanba agreed so easily, Li Shimin couldn't help but have a trace of concern in his eyes.

There's no doubt about how much they like it However, due to the urgency of time, Dou Jiande had already gone to the palace to discuss with the host at this time.

Immediately, Li Shimin informed Li Yuanba of his plan and asked him to stone Dou Jiande's guards to death in a while.

Seeing this, Li Yuanba almost jumped up excitedly, raised his double hammer and said: "Haha, second brother, kill quickly" "Yuan Ba will definitely smash these bad guys with a double hammer and prevent them from bullying the second brother."

"Don't worry, don't hurry" Hearing this, Li Shimin stroked Li Yuanba's head and gently comforted him.

For a long time, at the mountain gate, the false hair was white, and the host who was in his sixties and Dou Jiande walked out hand in hand.

"Host, this time, as long as you can let the monks in the temple defeat the Tang army for my Great Xia."

"When my Great Xia Army dominates Henan, this king will definitely invest heavily to fund the temple and let the Shaolin Temple regain its original glory."

Due to years of war, the glory of Shaolin Temple has long been gone.

However, the host is a monk, how can he say it clearly, and said slowly: "King Xia, you are too worried" "The reason why Lao Wei is willing to help Daxia is not because he needs funding."

"It's just that my monk thinks of compassion and pays attention to the universality of all sentient beings, but I don't want any more people to be in dire straits."

"It's not that King Xia needs to fund Shaolin Temple or anything."

It's just that although the host said it on the surface, he took the matter of funding to heart.

His words almost quietly reminded Dou Jiande not to forget the agreement.

Indeed, this is also the practice of hosting, otherwise when Li Shimin went on an expedition in the original history, Shaolin Temple would not have sent monks and soldiers to help Just said that when Dou Jiande said goodbye to the host and was about to turn back and lead the crowd back.

Suddenly, a miracle appeared, and in the distance, two golden hammers galloped out.

Suddenly, before the two Xia Army guards could react, they were smashed on the chest and died on the spot, spitting blood from their mouths.

Then, a scrawny boy quickly ran out, ran outside the mountain gate, picked up two golden hammers and began to kill all directions.

For a while, Li Yuanba could be described as unpredictable and unfathomable, and the guards who came up almost died when they touched it, and they were injured when they touched it.

At this moment, Li Shimin also led the Xuanjia Army to rush out quickly and kill here Suddenly, as Li Yuanba opened the way in front, Dou Jiande's guards were like paper paste, unable to resist at all.

For a while, Dou Jiande was terrified, and he couldn't help but retreat beside the host and ask for shelter.

Immediately, Xia Jun's guards were still quickly guarding Dou Jiande's side, protecting them tightly.

Seeing that Dou Jiande was in danger, the host came out of the remnants and saluted with his palms: "Amitabha" "This donor, I don't know who you are and why you started in Shaolin Temple" "My Songshan Shaolin is a pure place, and you are so rude, you are provoking my Shaolin" It is only said that although the presiding officer is modest in his words, the meaning of his words is full of threatening words.

For a while, Li Shimin saw that the host was protecting Dou Jiande, and knew that he was already on Xia Jun's side.

At this moment, Li Shimin couldn't help but take a few steps forward and said coldly: "Hmph, this king is the King of Tang Qin." ” "This time I came to capture Dou Jiande on purpose, so if you know each other, you should quickly avoid it" "Otherwise, be nosy, and blame the king for slaughtering into the Shaolin Temple."

In an instant, Li Shimin knew that he couldn't ask Shaolin Temple for help, so he simply threatened in an unquestionable tone.

The voice fell, and the host continued to clasp his hands and said: "Amitabha, since the donor is so obsessed and unenlightened, he is not ashamed to speak."

"Then don't blame the old man for being ruthless."

In an instant, the host greeted him, and the monks and monks in the temple picked up their sticks and ran out of the mountain gate, standing on both sides of Dou Jiande and the host.

At this moment, the two factions are facing each other But suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came slowly from the bottom of the mountain, and the sound sounded like the side of the sky.

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly looked overjoyed, and said secretly: "The opportunity has finally come" S: The third update, due to the plot, is not easy to split, so 4,500 words, more than 10,000 words broke out today.

The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
