Chapter 1339 Defeating Li Xuan

The gate of Daizhou City was opened wide, and Zhang Lin led the officials out to welcome him.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Zhang Lin saluted, which was a gesture of complete surrender.

Someone whispered: "Duke, be careful."

"This is the Daizhou of Datang!"

Li Xuan rode his horse over slowly.

When he got outside the city gate, he got off his horse.

Throwing the reins to Uda behind him, he looked up at the city.

The people gathered in front, looking at him enthusiastically.

Filial piety to the emperor is known in the bottom, I am afraid that the coffin board will not be able to hold it down.

When the army was first raised, many people were worried that they would suffer a disastrous defeat, but Shi Zhongtang was always full of confidence.

really.

After searching, the messenger walked up the steps.

Everyone was stunned.

Those people saluted, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

He looked at those common people, and there was hope in everyone's eyes.

Shi Zhongtang nodded, "Is there any change in the Northern Border Army?"

This leader is not only an honor, but also a responsibility.

Two old men came out, one holding a wine jar and the other holding a large porcelain bowl.

And they are all heroes of the new dynasty, with rich children and grandchildren.

Ashina Yanrong drew his saber, and cut off one corner of the case.

I just feel bright.

"Why do you want to appease the army?"

Then he said: "I'm here alone, don't worry."

Shi Zhongtang burst out laughing.

"Is Your Majesty here?" the messenger asked.

Li Xuan met those enthusiastic gazes, and said: "I will drive away those traitors, and let you live in peace."

It's like a promise.

Shi Jian said, "Aye, what shall we do next?"

This was He Zun's idea.

"It's the Yuezhou messenger."

"I have seen the king!"

A snake can't do without a head, there must be a leader in a group of people to command.

"Search!" the sergeant said coldly.

He must lead these tribes to obtain food, and he must shelter these tribes in the harsh environment.

He Zun said: "That man's courage is so small that it is contemptible."

"Have!"

"Let people go back and ask them to prepare wine and meat, as well as pensions."

until the city.

Those warm eyes turned into joy.

"After defeating the northern border army, there is nothing to worry about in the corner of Shu." Shi Zhongtang really didn't pay attention to Shu, "The road to Shu is difficult. This king only needs to block the passage from Shu to the outside world. Just think about it, most of the carnivores in the Tang Dynasty followed Li Bi in Shu, what will happen after a long time?"

Instead, shelter!
In ancient times, the living environment of human beings was harsh, and the only way to survive in this environment was to stick together.

Hundreds of horsemen ran away, and the Yuezhou cavalry were still cautiously moving forward.

"He took down Yuezhou, and he had to stay behind to defend. If the decisive battle is defeated, the Yuezhou defenders will be alone, and they can go down with one drum!"

The messenger salutes.

There is no way, if you are afraid of being beaten, you are afraid of being ambushed.

Shi Jian's body shook, "Could it be that they will kill them all?"

For those who once competed in the world, if they lose, they would rather die than live.

Qian Song clasped his hands together, and the governor, who didn't believe in gods and Buddhas very much, said reverently: "I implore the gods to protect..."''

He went up to the top of the city, looked ahead, and said: "One man guards the pass here, and ten thousand men are not allowed to open it. It is a dangerous pass in the pass. This king can stick to it, and take the pass as his foundation, and slowly plan it. But the whole world is watching. Looking to the south, if the king can't hold on, the general trend will turn to the northern army."

The three armies are coming together, how to coordinate?

"Anyone who has been rebellious is a thorn in the emperor's side!" Shi Gongming smiled desolately, "I made a wrong step, and in this life, I can only follow the tide."

"Worried?"

Someone came to report, "Your Majesty, Li Mi and his people are still fleeing to Shu."

Surrounded by everyone, Shi Zhongtang looked at the messenger calmly.

"The king will surely win." A lowered official said flatteringly.

"Infighting!" He Zun's eyes lit up, "Your Majesty, you are brilliant!"

After becoming king, Shi Zhongtang's side was heavily guarded.

Then, Qiqi looked at Ashina Yanrong.

Tan Yun said: "After Ashina Yanrong was defeated, he defended Jianzhou to the death. The Northern Frontier Army couldn't make a surprise attack, and Jiagu Pass was even more impenetrable. Li Xuan couldn't have come to Yuezhou for nothing. He was full? !"

Xie Zhong and several civil servants came here in a panic.

"King Qin makes a move, Shi Gongming is afraid...he will be doomed!"

"They're gone!"

"Jianzhou is the barrier of Jiagu Pass. It is very difficult for the scouts of the Northern Frontier Army to spy on the pass!" Wei Ming was eager to try, "Your Majesty, I request you to attack."

Qian Song, mother!

"Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

Especially on Shi Gongming's side, this person does great things but spares his life, if he wants to lure him with profit, he has to threaten...

Shi Jian said with some frustration: "Aye, we are no match for the Northern Frontier Army. Then Li Xuan's attack timing is just right, he is worthy of being a famous commander."

Victory, Shi Zhong, Tang Dingding, the general trend of the world is unstoppable.

Those hundreds of cavalry were cursing, seeing thousands of cavalry coming out of the city, the captain at the head yelled: "Crap!"

"I have seen the king."

All the way forward, to the place where the Northern Frontier Army once camped, there was only an empty wilderness left.

A small official came in, "General, an envoy from Yuezhou just came to ask for some water, and changed horses. He said that the siege of Yuezhou was caused by Li Xuanxu's swaying shot, and he shot eastward and westward."

Qian Song couldn't bear it anymore, and asked people to open the city gate and go out of the city to try.

Now, a huge foundation is in sight.

"Say!" Shi Zhongtang said lightly.At this moment, he is thinking about this battle in his mind.

"Hahahaha!"

"Idiot." Shi Gongming smiled and said, "Do you know why you want to make people preach non-war crimes as a father?"

What He Zun admired the most was Shi Zhongtang's attitude of a strong man who treats strong enemies as nothing.

"Aye!" Shi Jian felt sad.

Shi Zhongtang looked at his subordinates, "Are you confident in this battle?"

"Wait a minute." Shi Zhongtang smiled calmly, "Let's see the movement of the northern border army."

Looking at the bowl handed to him, Li Xuan took it, raised his head and finished it.

"Your Majesty is at the head of the city." The sergeant said, "Wait a minute."

That coward probably came to ask for help!

Just thinking about it, everyone's hearts became hot.

He promised to protect these people, and these people promised to submit to him.

"I think so too." Shi Gongming's eyes darkened, "Before seeing the Northern Border Army, before meeting Li Xuan, this old man thought he would be able to fight. Only now did this old man know that Li Xuan, who was able to destroy Beiliao, The ability to use soldiers is far inferior to this old man.

"Comfort the army."

Jiagu Pass is ahead, and the guard has brought people to wait at the pass.

Wei Ming shook his head, feeling that once the demoted officials rebelled, they would be the most ruthless to their original masters and come up with the most poisonous ideas.

"Your Majesty, five days ago, Li Xuan led an army from Northern Xinjiang to suddenly surround Yuezhou City."

Jiangshan is right in front of you!
Tentacle, within reach!
He Zun's breathing was rapid, he looked at those civil and military officials, most of them were like this.Wei Ming's eyeballs were even red.

"After two days, the envoy ordered people to go out of the city to drive back hundreds of horsemen, only to find out that the northern border army had already fled far away..."

Someone in the city said.

"Your Majesty is the majesty you show." Wei Ming said, "Then Li Mi is not even qualified to lead a horse for your Majesty."

The old man picked up the wine bowl, "Daizhou has been besieged for many days, and the soldiers and civilians in the city thought they would die. We can only look at Chang'an. But the Chang'an army was defeated and the emperor fled. Just when we were in despair, His Highness personally led the army. Come here, saving me is equivalent to being in water and fire. I am waiting, and I am grateful."

Xie Zhong was stunned, thinking that in the previous fight, Beijiang broke through their defense with just a surprise attack, which cannot be explained by a sneak attack.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, most of the leaders of Yanchen died, even if they surrendered, they would die in the end.

Shi Zhongtang sighed: "Li Mi is good at power tricks, but power tricks are used by courtiers. The emperor should be on top of him, overlooking the world like a god. Using authority and dignified means, this is the way of the king. Li Mi, go It's gone."

"The founding emperor often went to battle in person, and he knew the sufferings of the people. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he governed calmly and did not rush when encountering enemies. In the back, the emperor grew up in the deep palace, enjoying peace all day long. How could he know about military and state affairs?"

"Yes, I used to think that Yan Dong could compete for the world, but today I realized that I was completely wrong." Shi Jian said: "Aye, why not, let's quit!"

He walked in slowly.

The guard said: "There is no change, even the scouts have never been here."

……

"When this king was in Chang'an, I had a relationship with Li Xuan. At that time, Li Xuan was arrogant...then, this battle will shatter his arrogance!" Shi Zhongtang's eyes were full of memories.

In Jianzhou, after learning that the northern border army besieged Yuezhou, some people worried that Yuezhou would fall, and the communication between the Guanzhong army and the old nest would be cut off.

……

Shi Gongming waved his hand, Xie Zhong saluted, "Yes."

"What are you waiting for?" The messenger was a little impatient.

Shi Gongming reined in his horse, looked back at his embarrassed subordinates, and couldn't help crying, "Why is this, why is this?"

……

Li Xuan no longer had any doubts in his heart.

"Your Majesty's army is about to leave the customs, so what if he takes down Yuezhou?" Ashina Yanrong looked a little thinner, but became more and more calm.

Tan Yun's heart skipped a beat.

Various thoughts swirled in Qian Song's mind, and suddenly he slapped the city's head, "Daizhou!"

Qian Song buzzed in his head, and hissed: "This must be a slap in the face, what is he going to do?"

……

"The old man said that the defeat is in the hands of Li Xuan. But Dalang! Compete or die. We have taken that step, and there is no turning back."

"The art of war is just to study people's hearts." Shi Zhongtang smiled calmly, "Li Xuan is known as a famous commander, and this king has long wanted to fight him. This time is the opportunity."

Everyone knows that this battle will determine the general trend of the world.

It's not a bad thing to lose Yuezhou if you lose it.

Shi Gongming ran all the way with his subordinates.

Everyone thought that he would do his best to deal with Shi Zhongtang's army leaving the customs, and the old man spread scouts widely, thinking that he would be able to cover up his surprise attack.But I didn't expect him to find another way... Old man, I am convinced. "

It turns out that the so-called king does not rely on virtue to govern the world.

Ashina Yanrong looked at his subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "This battle, the king will personally command, and I will attack enthusiastically, and I will be ashamed!"

This is also a promise.

That old face turned red with embarrassment.

"Then..." Shi Jian had never seen Shi Gongming like this before, and in addition to being sad, he also felt a little desperate, "Aye, what should we do then?"

Shi Zhongtang looked indifferent.

Tan Yun stepped back, looked up at the clear sky, and suddenly smiled wryly.

"Out of town!"

Shi Gongming's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said: "The northern army in this battle is a sneak attack, not a crime of war!"

"The Tang Dynasty established the country, what happened to the smoke and dust?"

The lower official laughed flatteringly and said: "The traitor who dared to resist the king's teacher is seeking his own death! After the victory, the minister suggested that he could be thrown in Gongling to guard the tomb of his dead father. Demonstrate the benevolence of the king."

"Aye, Aye!"

He raised his voice, "I'm lonely, don't worry!"

The army walked slowly on the official road.

Shi Jian caught up, "The northern border army is gone."

This is a lack of strength!

Shi Jian said: "Aye is not reconciled?"

More than a hundred riders appeared in the distance.

"Feint to attack Yuezhou and raid Daizhou." Tan Yun's face turned livid, "The three armies are like three iron fists, Li Xuan is going to defeat all the way first!"

This is not kindness, but humiliation!

Qian Song had already figured out the cause and effect, "Your Majesty came out of Jiagu Pass, and we were waiting for you in the south. This is a flanking attack. If Shi Gongming can break through Daizhou and attack Lizhou, the army in the northern border will be confused. This is a must kill The game!"

"Originally, the old man hoped that Shi Zhongtang would fail miserably, and it would not end well. But now, you and my father and son are seeing a catastrophe. Who can help us, so what if the old man calls him Aye?"

"Master, the northern border army is sharp, and I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat it."

Li Xuan suddenly realized a truth.

He Zun's complexion changed slightly.

Seeing that Shi Gongming was silent, he persuaded him: "Aye, why don't we continue to sit and watch!"

"Defeat Li Xuan, and the country will be established!" Ashina Chunyu said what everyone thought.

"Shi Gongming, it's in danger!"

The corners of Shi Zhongtang's mouth twitched slightly, thinking of how he used to lead horses for Zhang Huan in order to please Zhang Huan.

Wei Ming glanced at this person contemptuously, and said: "This time when our army is leaving the customs, the southern army is watching. Shi Gongming's attack on Lizhou is a three-pronged attack. Even if Li Xuan is superhuman, he can only do nothing. .”

"Now there is only one hope left." Shi Gongming said: "If Shi Zhongtang can win, then I, Yandong, still have something to do!"

A look of joy flashed in Shi Jian's eyes, and then he was sad, "Aye, you said that Shi Zhongtang is a foreigner."

This is the promise. On the day he became the leader, the invisible contract was signed.

"Go and tell the envoy!"

It is this self-confidence that inspires his subordinates and convinces them wholeheartedly.

"Shi Gongming!" Shi Zhongtang's eyes were slightly cold, "Hurry up, go find out the news!"

"Your Majesty!"

A group of cavalry came galloping, looking disheartened.

"Li Xuan led Qingqi to attack Shi Gongming, and Yandong's army was defeated!"
