Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 175
When Wang Shichong knew that his dear brother, His Royal Highness King Zheng Guoqi, and Comrade Wang Shiyun had broken one hundred thousand troops into [-], Wang Shichong's first thought was to chop Wang Shiyun's head into three pieces.See if his mind is full of shit.

"You are the God of Gan!"

Luoyang Palace, Wang Shichong roared at Wang Shiyun.

"One hundred thousand army, one hundred thousand army! It is one hundred thousand pigs, Tang Jun will have to catch them for a month, you beat Lao Tzu's one hundred thousand army like this in three days, why don't you die!"

Facing the roaring Wang Shichong, Wang Shiyun shrank his head and dared not refute.He never expected that Li Zhiyun, who had always been a bully, would dare to attack Zheng Jun on his own initiative.

Great!
Kneeling with Wang Shiyun were Wang Tai, Wang Xingben, Wang Renze, Shan Xiongxin and others.However, these people's troubles are obviously not as big as Wang Shiyun's, so Wang Shichong's main export target is Wang Shiyun.

After scolding for half an hour, Wang Shichong fell down and sat on the throne.

His [-] troops hadn't taken down Tongguan, but now they suffered so much damage!

Crown Prince Wang Xuanying took a sneak look at Wang Shichong, and seeing that he was scolding happily, he said cautiously: "Father, my son thought that although the King of Qi lost to the Tang army, at any rate... Well, at any rate, the King of Qi also inflicted heavy damage on the Tang army. Forcing the Tang army to be unable to continue attacking Luoyang, it is still creditable."

Made, really can't wash it clean.If Wang Shiyun hadn't belonged to the clan, Wang Xuanying would never have asked him to intercede.

Wang Shichong snorted coldly, so angry that he was dying, and cursed: "Get out!"

Wang Shiyun, as if he had received an amnesty, quickly led his people to leave.

Duan Da said: "Your Majesty, I think what the crown prince said is true. Although King Qi was defeated, the Tang army was also injured a lot. Besides, Dou Jiande is still in Hebei to contain Li Shimin. Our army still has time to recuperate."

"Bullshit!" Wang Shichong yelled, "I wanted him to beat Tongguan, but now he's beaten like this, it's shameful!"

It's fine if the task is not completed, and if you make it like this, you still have to wash your face?
Dugu Wudu, Dugu Ji, Wei Ji, Wei Jin and others were silent.They knew very well in their hearts that although Wang Shichong wanted to kill Wang Shiyun to death, he would never do that.

Wang Xuanshu said: "Father, it seems that there are definitely a lot of Tang troops in Tongguan, which shows the untrustworthiness of the Turkic people. They did not contain the Tang army at all. Our army's defeat is not a crime of war."

This time, Wang Shichong did not curse.Because he also felt that the Turks were dishonest and did not restrain Tang Jun.Otherwise, he would have defeated Tongguan long ago, so why did it become what it is now.

"Pass down the order and strictly guard everywhere to prevent the Tang army from taking the opportunity to attack."

"Yes."

In this way, Wang Shichong has no capital to continue to spend with Tang Jun, and he can't continue to confront Tang Jun when the grain is harvested in September.

But thinking about it, he felt a little reconciled.If Tongguan can be defeated this time, it will definitely inflict heavy damage on Tang Jun.

He intends to severely punish the failed Wang Shiyun, but Wang Shiyun is his brother after all, so he really can't do it.

Therefore, Wang Shichong said: "Wang Shiyun's defeat was originally an unforgivable crime, but considering that he also made an inch of merit, I will write it down for now and count it later."

"Yes." Wang Xuanying sighed silently.

Right now Zheng Guo is trapped in Henan, and Li Tang surrounds Zheng Guo on almost three sides.Now, Wang Shichong hopes that Dou Jiande can defeat Li Shimin and occupy all parts of Hebei. If he joins forces with Dou Jiande, there may be a chance of a comeback.

As for the Turks?
snort!
He will never believe in the plans of the Turkic people again. This group of thieves did more than fail.

The meeting will disperse.

The two Wechsler brothers walked together.

"I didn't realize that this Li Zhiyun had such a plan." Wei Jin said.

Wei Ji said: "He defended Tongguan before and refused to give up an inch, which shows the wisdom of this man. Li Yuan's sons are much better than Wang Shichong's sons."

Wei Jin nodded and said, "From this point of view, it is true."

Wei Ji frowned, feeling that the words seemed a bit repetitive, but he didn't think much about it.

Not far from the Wei brothers, Dugu Wudu and Duguji were also communicating silently.

"If this continues, Wang Shichong won't last long." Duguji said.

Dugu Wudu snorted coldly, "Now he only has one place in Henan, how can he defeat Li Yuan. The counties in the Central Plains have been fighting for years, and their vitality has been severely damaged. It will not be a day's work to recover. In my opinion, at most In three years, Luoyang will be lost."

Although they have opinions on Li Yuan, they can still see the situation clearly.

In fact, not only them, but all the officials in Luoyang basically understood that Zheng Guo did not have the slightest advantage over Li Tang.

Take this Tongguan battle as an example, Li Tang has been sticking to it, and there is no sign of retreating.

But what about Zheng Jun?
On the expedition, the food and grass were not enough, and it could not be consumed for a long time.Even if Tang Jun did not attack this time, Zheng Jun would have to retreat in a few days.

Because they can't afford it.

With the end of the Tongguan crisis, the threat from the east of the Tang Dynasty disappeared temporarily.

When the news came back to Chang'an, Li Yuan was in a great mood, and ordered someone to copy fifty copies of the news and post it everywhere in Chang'an, so as to reassure the hearts of the people.This Tongguan victory finally swept away the haze of the previous defeat of King Yong'an, allowing the subjects of the Tang Dynasty to regain their confidence.

Immediately afterwards, good news came from the direction of Yanzhou. Duan Decao and Yang Ze defeated Liang Shidu and drove him back to his lair.

Now, Li Yuan felt elated, the only opponent he had to worry about was Dou Jiande from Hebei.

political affairs hall.

"Now that the crisis in Tongguan and Guanbei has been resolved, it's time to support King Qin and deal with Dou Jiande," Li Yuan said.

The situation in Hebei is still relatively stalemate, but the Tang army has pushed the battlefield to the front line of Xiangzhou and regained Hanoi.But Dou Jiande's vitality was not damaged, and he was still attacking the Tang army.And Li Shimin couldn't defeat Dou Jiande for a while, so the two sides could only continue to confront each other.

Pei Ji nodded and said: "There is no danger in Guanzhong, Your Majesty's plan is feasible."

Liu Wenjing said: "Your Majesty, I think that King Chu can cross the river to help King Qin."

Li Yuan pondered.

Dou Kang objected, "It's not right."

"What's wrong?" Liu Wenjing asked back.

Dou Kang explained: "Although the Tongguan crisis has been resolved, there is no guarantee that Wang Shichong will not attack again. In order to avoid this happening, I suggest that King Chu should continue to sit in Tongguan. As for supporting King Qin, I think we can send troops directly from Guanzhong."

The prince frowned and said: "As Prime Minister Dou said, there is no guarantee that Wang Shichong will not attack Tongguan again, so the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong must not be used without authorization. Father and son have already carefully read the victory report of Tongguan. Days, there are many injuries. But they are all elite soldiers, if you can help your second brother, you can take Dou Jiande just around the corner."

Dou Wei objected: "The soldiers and horses in Tongguan have fought fiercely for many days, and it is time to recuperate. The old minister suggests that Your Majesty send troops directly from Guanzhong to support King Qin."

What both sides said made sense, Li Yuan was a little undecided for a while, so he asked everyone to retreat temporarily.

However, Pei Ji was then quietly summoned to the Lizheng Hall.

"Just now you said very little, now you tell me whether to send the king of Chu to support the king of Qin, or send troops directly from the pass." Li Yuan asked Jiyou.

Pei Ji chuckled, and said: "The old minister has always obeyed His Majesty's orders, and this time it is still the same."

"Hmph." Li Yuan smiled and said, "There are only two of us here, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Pei Ji nodded and analyzed: "The disagreement between the two Xiangguo Dou and the prince is nothing more than who to send to support the King of Qin. I think this is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in who is allowed to go. If the King of Chu is allowed to go, then who will be sent to support the King of Qin?" After defeating Dou Jiande, who is the first winner?"

Speaking of this, Li Yuan already understood the meaning, he nodded at Pei Ji, "You old bastard, you have really poisonous eyes."

"Hehe." Pei Ji smiled humbly, "Your Majesty has given you too much credit."

Li Yuan sighed, "The children have grown up, they are not as simple as when they were young."

Pei Ji smiled and didn't answer.

The next day, Li Yuan issued an edict to revive Changping King Li Shuliang and order him to lead an army of [-] to support King Qin in defeating the enemy.

At the same time, the imperial decree of commendation for King Chu and Duan Decao was also sent to Tongguan and Yanzhou at high speed.
