Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 167 Chi You Can't Save Him

Li Shentong, king of Huai'an, was defeated in Xiangzhou, which was within Li Zhiyun's expectation.When he defeated Yu Wenhuaji at that time, Li Shentong was almost crazy, and he almost said, "Heaven is the boss, the saint is the second, and he is the third".

Taking advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle is an irresistible temptation for a general.And through the detailed rules of Xiangzhou battle report obtained by the imperial court, Li Zhiyun also understood that Dou Jiande was using Li's superhuman mentality to lead him into a trap step by step, and then began the massacre operation.

Now, the king of Qin led the army to Hebei, Li Zhiyun said that he was not worried or worried, and that he was worried.

Don't worry, it's because the second brother can fight.

Worry because history is beginning to change beyond recognition.He remembered that Li Shentong did lose to Dou Jiande in history, but Li Xiaoji did not die in Dou Jiande's hands.Moreover, there is no such war in history that Li Shimin conquered Hebei.

He didn't know if the second brother could capture Dou Jiande alive this time.

Anyway, things got complicated.

In the meeting hall of Prince Chu's Mansion, all the confidantes gathered beside Li Zhiyun after finishing their dispatch of troops.

"Is Your Majesty worried about Xiangzhou?" Du Ruhui asked.The one who knows Li Zhiyun best is Du Ruhui.This time the king of Chu was ordered to go east out of Tongguan to attack Luoyang. The main purpose was to contain Wang Shichong's troops, which belonged to assisting the war in Hebei, not the main force.

Li Zhiyun nodded without hesitation, and said: "Second brother's ability, I naturally believe it, but Dou Jiande's menacing attack this time, and many places in Xiangzhou fell, once Hanoi can't hold it, then the battlefield can only be reduced to Bingzhou Inside, there will even be a bloody battle in the Zhiguanxing area."

Thinking of the intricate Taihang Mountain Road, Du Ruhui and the others fell silent one after another.Battles of tough battles have always suffered heavy casualties.

Xue Shou said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates believe that it is still too early to consider these things now. The specific situation in Xiangzhou can only be determined by King Qin's formation of troops at that time. What your Majesty has to consider now is how to attack Luoyang and make Wang Shichong The soldiers and horses of the army were dragged back from Li Yang."

Hearing this, Li Zhiyun laughed at himself, "You are right, I am worrying for nothing."

The main general who attacked Hebei was not himself, so what's the use of worrying about it.

Chu Suiliang thought: "Wang Shichong is very aware of the pressure we put on him, so we must not hide it from him when our army goes out of Tongguan. In this way, we must be cautious. Even, his subordinates suspect that Wang Shichong will use this time Dou Jiande to defeat the enemy. King Huai'an, take this opportunity to use troops against us."

"You mean, Wang Shichong's sending troops to Li Yang may be a trap, and his main purpose is to take the opportunity to attack Tongguan?" Xue Yuanjing asked.

Chu Suiliang nodded, looked at Li Zhiyun, and reminded with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, it's not impossible. Dou Jiande defeated the King of Huai'an, and I supported Xiangzhou with soldiers and horses. The leader of the army is King Qin. Wang Shichong should not give up such an opportunity."

After the voice fell, everyone in the room looked dignified.

Xue Yuanjing reminded: "Your Highness, if this is true, is [-] soldiers not enough to deal with Wang Shichong?"

Li Zhiyun shook his head and said, "You are wrong. If it is true, we have already achieved our goal."

Ok?
Everyone looked at Li Zhiyun puzzled.

Du Ruhui understood what Li Zhiyun meant, and immediately explained: "Your Highness means that if Wang Shichong's attack on Li Yang is a cover, then in Xiangzhou, His Highness King Qin only needs to deal with Dou Jiande. And we only need to stick to Tongguan. With our With [-] soldiers and horses, plus the defenders at Tongguan, even if Wang Shichong had an army of [-] to attack, he would not be able to conquer it in a short time."

"If Wang Shichong really attacked Tongguan with the whole country, what should we do?" Duan Zhixuan asked.

"One word, procrastinate." Du Ruhui said.

"Dragging?" Duan Zhixuan didn't understand.

Du Ruhui nodded, and said: "As long as Wang Shichong can be held back, and His Royal Highness King Qin repels Dou Jiande, then King Qin's soldiers and horses can cross the river, and Luoyang can be taken directly."

Having said that, everyone was suddenly stunned.

Li Zhiyun said: "It's not unreasonable for you to be worried, so let's go, I will go to the palace and tell my father what I am doing, and see if I can bring all the [-] troops under my king's command to defend Tongguan."

Xue Shou reassured: "In this way, Tongguan will be a natural danger."

Tongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there are [-] soldiers and horses to defend to death, Wang Shichong's [-] troops may not be able to defeat it.

Everyone immediately discussed again, and then went back to busy with the expedition.

Li Zhiyun went directly to the palace and explained his worries to Li Yuan.

When they arrived at the Lizheng Hall, the Prince and the King of Qin were also discussing the matter of sending troops.

After Li Zhiyun finished speaking, Li Yuan directly agreed with Li Zhiyun to bring [-] soldiers and horses there without thinking.The importance of Tongguan is self-evident, and Li Yuan will never allow Tongguan to lose.

Li Shimin comforted: "Father, you don't have to worry too much. Just as Zhiyun said, if Wang Shichong really wants to attack the west, then we have a chance to attack Luoyang directly through the ferry in Hanoi."

Li Yuan nodded, looked at the three sons, and said: "No matter what, Erlang, Wulang, you all put your own safety first when you go out this time. If there is an emergency, don't hold on. The soldiers, the land, and the land are all for you. A father can lose everything, but as a father, I don’t want to lose you.”

At this time, Lao Li didn't look like an emperor, but rather a fragile father.

Lee Hyo Ki's death cast a huge shadow over him.Since the founding of Datang, all crises have been easily resolved.Yin Shishi, Xue Ju, Li Gui, Zhu Can, Yu Wenhuaji, one enemy after another, died at the hands of Tang Jun one after another.

This gave Lao Li the illusion that the Tang army was invincible.

It wasn't until Li Xiaoji died in battle that he realized that the Tang army was not invincible, and the clan prince was not an ever-victorious general.

Losing any of his four grown sons was not acceptable to him.

Li Zhiyun's heart was touched, and he cupped his hands and said: "Yeah, don't worry, the boy and the second brother will never make mistakes. If Dou Jiande seeks death, the second brother will fulfill him. If Wang Shichong seeks death, the child will fulfill him. Whoever dares to offend Datang, he must be punished." There is no place to die!"

Li Shimin nodded heavily, and said seriously: "Yeah, what Zhiyun said is also what I want to say. My son will definitely avenge Emperor Xiaoji's revenge! Dou Jiande, he is doomed, and even the lord Chi You can't save him. I Said!"

Although Lee Hyo Ki is their cousin, he is the clan after all.Li Shimin and Li Zhiyun felt a little uncomfortable when the clan died in battle.

Failure to avenge this revenge is equivalent to the dignity of the royal family being trampled on by Dou Jiande wantonly.

Li Yuan nodded, "Okay! As expected of my son, when you come back triumphantly, I will hold a big celebration banquet for you!"

Li Zhiyun and Li Shimin bowed their hands together, "Please rest assured Yeye, the child will live up to Yeye's trust!"

Looking at the two younger brothers, Li Jiancheng felt inexplicably touched in his heart, and said, "Shimin, Zhiyun, don't worry, I will support you even if I die as a brother for logistics!"

"Thank you bro!"

The three brothers looked at each other without words, but at this moment they were better than thousands of words.
