Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2340: Azure Dragon vs. Four Fierce Beasts, Li Tang Presses on
Fortunately, this battle was a contact battle and exploratory confrontation between the forwards of both sides, and neither side mobilized its main forces.

Therefore, although You Qin suffered heavy losses, it was still within their acceptable range.

However, the deaths of the most experienced veterans such as E Lai and Fei Lian clearly cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone present.

Because of Huang Mei's superior performance in this battle, many people even mistakenly predicted that Huang Mei was a master of the same level as Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba alone was enough to give them a headache, and with the addition of Huang Mei, it was no longer just a headache for them.

However, their Youzhou's fierce general Jiang Chen was far away in the Central Plains at this time.

Even if you want to call the other party back, it is not that easy.

Recalling a general is not something that can be taken for granted or just talked about!
That takes a lot of time!
This isn't 2,000 years from now! It only takes a few hours on a plane to get here!

It takes time for the person who delivers the order to cross half of Han Dynasty, and it takes another time for Jiang Chen to come back. With all this going back and forth, do you think you can come back just by saying so?

And Qin Long, the new star that has recently emerged in Youzhou, is now on the Qing battlefield!

However, things weren’t going so smoothly over there!

Qin Long fought alone against two brave generals, Qiong Qi and Hong Dong, who had just emerged in the Qing Dynasty not long ago, but the outcome was not ideal.

In fact, if Qin Long were given a different battlefield, the situation might be different.

As the Eastern Azure Dragon, it ran to the north.

The East is not just Qingxu, Liaodong is also part of the East!

It’s a pity that he himself doesn’t know it!

Qin Ji, the commander of the Qin army on the Li Tang battlefield, also lamented repeatedly, as he had no way to repel the enemy.

In this battle, Qin Zheng gave his all. In the past few years, Wei Liao has been in semi-retirement, but at this critical moment, Qin Zheng still called him out again.

Qin Ji, the first general of the royal family, was appointed as the military advisor. In addition, two ruthless men, Wang Zhi and Le Yi, were appointed as Qin Ji's deputy generals.

It can be said that in the battlefield against Li Tang, Qin Zheng has played almost all the cards he can. The only thing left for Youzhou's strongest lineup is to replace Qin Ji with Han Xin.

But the problem is that there is no way to change it!

The pressure from the Qing Dynasty is no less than that from the Li Tang Dynasty. If the Li Tang Dynasty puts together its strongest lineup, the Qing Dynasty will be helpless!

However, even if Qin Ji, Wei Liao, Wang Zhi, and Yue Yi were tied together, it would be difficult for them to really do anything when they had less than half of the enemy's military strength!
Not to mention, Li Tang’s lineup is poor?
Li Shimin alone is a powerful enemy that they cannot ignore!
When Li Shimin was born, his basic attributes were already as high as command 100, force 92, intelligence 98, politics 101, and charm 100.

After experiencing the Xuanwu Gate Incident and ascending the throne to become emperor, the permanent attribute improvements brought by the Zhenguan skills have increased his attributes to command 102, force 94, intelligence 99, politics 102, and charm 102.

Moreover, he had also performed a hair-cutting act in Li Tang like Li Xiang. However, he happened to be a few days later than Li Xiang, so he got a little less promotion than Li Xiang. If he was a few days earlier, the gains of the two people would be the opposite.

However, after this achievement, Li Shimin's attributes have also been upgraded to the current command 103, force 94, intelligence 100, politics 102, and charm 102.

In addition, Li Guangbi, the first general of the Li Tang Dynasty, was definitely not an easy person to deal with.

If Qin Ji could come up with a way to repel the enemy when he was at a disadvantage in all aspects, then he would be really amazing!

But the reality is that he didn't cheat and he couldn't cheat!
Moreover, You Qin, which has not yet recovered its vitality, is now facing an opponent that is not at its peak but is still in its heyday. There is also a gap in the logistical support capabilities of the two sides.

Behind Li Shimin, there is a group of people led by Li Longji who provide him with logistical support!
You can doubt Li Longji in his later years as much as you want, but you can absolutely believe in the abilities of Li Longji in his early years!

If this guy had died 20 years earlier, the so-called Emperor Taizong of Tang and Emperor Taizu of Song would have been less impressive. Later generations would have to guess whether the Emperor Taizong in this sentence refers to Emperor Taizong of Tang or Emperor Xuanzong of Tang!

The Kaiyuan Prosperity was not only the peak of the Tang Dynasty, but also the peak of the entire feudal period.

When the Tang Dynasty was established, there were approximately 200 million households in the country. After 100 years, during the reigns of Zhongzong and Ruizong, the number increased to 600 million households. During the 28 years of the Kaiyuan period, the number increased to 840 million households. This was the fastest growth period since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Fuzhi, a famous thinker during the Ming and Qing dynasties, summarized the prosperity of the Kaiyuan period as follows: "The prosperity of the Kaiyuan period was unmatched by the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty."

Just as the poet Du Fu once wrote in his poem: "Remembering the heyday of the Kaiyuan period, even small towns could house tens of thousands of households. The rice was fat and the millet was white, and public and private granaries were all full."

Unfortunately for the Qin government, Li Longji during this period was still the wise and brave Li Longji of his early period.

After all, during this period, Li Tang was not qualified to enjoy himself in any way.

Li Tang and You Qin have been fighting each other for so many years, and the two sides have been engaged in a tug-of-war battle on the border for so many years. Almost every city around has been occupied by you, and will be taken back after a while.

Over the years, Li Shimin had already become familiar with the situation around the border. Even with his eyes closed, he could recite the surrounding situation in detail.

Therefore, Li Shimin acted very quickly. The relevant strategies for how to fight this battle had already taken shape in his mind.

When the vanguards of both sides were fighting, Li Guangbi had already led the black-armored cavalry to take a detour.

In the battle between the two vanguards, E Lai and Fei Lian were killed, and Qin Ji was forced to retreat and make long-term plans. However, Li Shimin was relentless and led the troops behind him to keep pestering him like a leech.

When Qin Ji finally had a chance to rest, write a post-war summary report and discuss a countermeasure, he suddenly received news that Li Guangbi had led his troops to raid the mountains on their left.

This time, they were once again put in a disadvantageous position.

That high mountain was one of the important nodes of their defense line. If they failed to control that mountain, the enemy cavalry would be able to overlook their entire defense line.
