The battle outside the city of Huizhou Taiyuan soldiers and horses finally won the victory, but it was definitely a crushing victory, the loss of troops on both sides of the Tang Dynasty and Daxin was almost the same, and finally Wang Junkuo was forced back to Fengxiang, and even Yuanzhou City did not enter, but Li Shimin did not dare to continue to attack Huizhou, and Yuanzhou did not dare to touch.There is no way, when 150,000 soldiers and horses came, now they have lost almost a third, and this time they have been in a confrontation for nearly two months, and the food, grass and morale of the army are close to exhaustion in all aspects.In addition, even if he reluctantly continued to attack Huizhou City, without Wang Junkuo's involvement from the side, he could attack wholeheartedly, and he probably could not break through again.In addition, Hao Ying, who is good at planning, and Xie Yingdeng, a sharpshooter general of Daxinguo, is here, Li Shimin really doesn't have the courage to take risks, although Wang Junkuo doesn't dare to fight with him head-on anymore, but if people quietly go around the back road to sneak attack their own grain routes, after all, they still have almost 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they are in a dilemma at that time.Li Shimin had no choice but to withdraw after weighing the interests, but fortunately, the soldiers who withdrew after defeating Wang Junkuo found a somewhat shameful cloth.However, this news was like a defeat for Li Yuan.After Li Yuan was dragged into a stalemate by Laihu'er, the momentum of the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses was not as good as day by day, and it continued to fail, and everyone knew the sentence in the siege battle: again and again, again and again, and three times exhausted.In the previous Taiyuan Mansion when the flag was pulled, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses can be described as unstoppable, before the capture of Fenzhou, Puzhou is also as if the destruction of the withered and decaying, even the local people are very welcome to the arrival of the Tang Army, which makes Li Yuan and the entire Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses feel excited, at that moment, almost no one will doubt that Chang'an City can not be breached.However, Li Yuan miscalculated one point, that is, the loyalty of the people of Chang'an City to the Great Sui Dynasty, perhaps the people in other parts of the world hate the emperor very much, and they want to change the dynasty, but in the capital Chang'an, relatively speaking, the suffering of disasters is not as deep as that of outsiders.On the contrary, the people in Chang'an City even have a sense of superiority over the people elsewhere in their bones, and now your Taiyuan soldiers and horses Li family wants to bring troops in Although it is said that the new monarch is supported to succeed to the throne, but Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, so in fact, there are not so many people who respond, even if Li Yuan has a good reputation in Chang'an City back then.But this time you are back to take the throne, it is not the same as before when you were a Qing official, yes, Li Yuan's Tang army suffered from the joint confrontation of General Laihu'er and the entire people of Chang'an City, the battle between the two sides was extremely tragic, if you want to say that the battle of Huizhou City is cruel, I am afraid that the battle of Chang'an City is several times worse!
In the big tent of the Tang Army.After Li Yuan sat down on the handsome case, he was wearing a general's robe, wearing a golden black crown, and his sword was placed diagonally on the handsome case, and he was looking at the letter in his hand angrily.At this moment, they did not know the details of the battle situation in Huizhou City, and they did not know that the second son Li Shimin, whom they had high hopes for, had begun to withdraw from Lingzhou, and returned to Taiyuan Mansion from the original road of the Western Turks!
Li Zhongwen and Li Xiaogong couldn't help but glance at each other, their faces were quite worried, these two current top scholars and martial arts in the Tang Dynasty, whether they were talking or doing things, they were all in the spotlight.Li Jiancheng has also been paying attention to the demeanor of Lao Tzu Li Yuan, and his eyebrows are also very worried, Li Jiancheng is in urgent need of an identity now, that is, the prince, but now Li Yuan is waking the current faint monarch and setting up a new monarch, and he still wants to support the Great Sui Dynasty.Of course, Li Jiancheng naturally knows that this is also a disguise, and after entering Chang'an City, the things that will come slowly will come slowly, but now Tang Bing has been blocked outside Chang'an City for nearly two months, Li Jiancheng is really worried that he will not be able to enter Chang'an City, in that case, he will not be able to have the identity of the prince.After the handsome case, Li Yuan finally put down the letter in his hand, and immediately caused everyone to stare at it like stretching their necks, but seeing that Li Yuan glanced at everyone and seemed to be about to speak, but he sighed before speaking, and everyone in the big tent immediately felt that it was not good.Sure enough, then Li Yuan said that the battle outside Jiangzhou had won a disastrous victory and that Li Shimin had withdrawn from Lingzhou, Huizhou and was returning to Taiyuan Mansion, which immediately caused a commotion in the big tent.Li Yuan's eyes swept around the generals in the big tent, and finally landed on Li Xiaogong, his eyes were quite expectant, but unexpectedly saw that Li Xiaogong deliberately did not raise his head as if he sensed his gaze, and looked like he was contemplative alone.Li Yuan sighed secretly, his eyes fell on Li Zhongwen again, and he was about to open his mouth to ask about the plan, but he saw Li Jiancheng take the lead in walking out of the column, and said: "General, since the day when the Tang army was divided into two roads, I have calculated that there is a possibility that one side will not succeed, so the current situation is just the original prediction, so we don't need to worry about this, the last general thinks that the second brother's withdrawal back to Taiyuan Mansion can become a strong backup for us along the way, at least the grain and grass can get the greatest guarantee, At present, our army should strengthen its offensive forces and strive to break through Chang'an City in one go!
”"The eldest prince said well!""
The eldest prince is brave and fearless!""
That's right, break through Chang'an City in one go!""
Break through Chang'an City!"
After Li Jiancheng's words fell, many generals immediately shouted and echoed, and the shouting atmosphere was very excited in an instant, there were sycophants and those who really wanted to fight, and the depression in Li Yuan's heart was also slightly lighter, obviously in Li Yuan's heart, if he gave up attacking Chang'an City like this, he seemed to be unwilling.However, Li Yuan did not speak, because the two people he values the most, Li Zhongwen and Li Xiaogong, have not yet expressed their opinions."
General Lee Hyo-gong."
Because there are not a few generals surnamed Li in the Tang soldiers, Li Yuan had to directly point out Li Xiaogong like this, if you don't speak, then I'll call you by name directly to see if you can avoid it!
Li Xiaogong really doesn't want to speak, the current situation is too complicated, and it is very two-faced.On the one hand, just like what Li Jiancheng said, Li Shimin's withdrawal of troops back to Taiyuan Mansion is not necessarily a bad thing, of course, the Tang Army's plan to expand to the northwest is in vain, but after thinking about it, Li Shimin can indeed support the battle of Chang'an City infinitely after returning to Taiyuan Mansion, and there is no need to worry about problems in the rear, which adds a stable weight to the possibility of attacking Chang'an City for a long time.()
