Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 184 The Situation of King Qi

In fact, Li Zhiyun didn't want to have conflicts with Li Shenfu, but the situation in Bingzhou was critical, and he had to overwhelm all discordant voices in the army and completely control the army.Otherwise, Li Shenfu will give him another attack and fail, and then he will be the biggest war criminal in rescuing Bingzhou.

It wasn't just Li Zhiyun who was depressed, Li Shimin who was far away in Hebei was even more depressed than Li Zhiyun.Seeing that Dou Jiande was about to be killed, Bingzhou was beaten into a sieve by Liu Wuzhou at this time.Not to mention that the court asked him to rescue, even he himself had to go back to rescue.

Otherwise, if Bingzhou falls, it will be meaningless for him to win Hebei.

Therefore, after receiving Li Yuan's urgent letter, Li Shimin immediately summoned Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Hou Junji and others to discuss important matters.

Everyone had no objection to the court's decision, and the king of Chu entered Puzhou to contain Song Jingang.It is reasonable for them to go to Jingxing to attack Liu Wuzhou to rescue Taiyuan.

Therefore, Li Shimin quickly adjusted the deployment of troops and horses and went to Jingxing.

When he got the news of Li Shimin's withdrawal from the army, Dou Jiande breathed a sigh of relief.Because he was about to be beaten to death by Li Shimin, he was very lucky to be able to escape from death this time.

Taiyuan was at stake, Li Shimin didn't dare to relax, he crossed hundreds of miles in half a month and entered Jingxing.

Liu Wuzhou is a native of Bingzhou, so he naturally knew that he could enter Taiyuan directly by going to Jingxing, so he had already deployed soldiers and horses in Jingxing to wait for the invading enemy.

But Li Shimin was not a vegetarian. He entered Jingxing, crossed Mengshan, attacked Shiai, and arrived in Shouyang in early December.

After entering Shouyang, Li Shimin did not attack rashly, because he still had many soldiers and horses coming from behind.Therefore, he sent someone to Taiyuan to deliver a letter, asking Li Yuanji to stick to it.

At this moment, Taiyuan was already surrounded by Liu Wuzhou.After several months of fierce fighting, both sides are very tired.

After Li Shimin appeared, Liu Wuzhou's mood took a turn for the worse, from sunny to thunderstorm.

Previously, when Song Jingang defeated Li Shenfu, he was still happy, thinking that Song Jingang would be able to take Puzhou and occupy Pujin Pass.But after Li Zhiyun led his army to Puzhou, Song Jingang fell into a hard fight and could not escape.

At this time, he already knew that Song Jingang might not be able to solve Li Zhiyun in a short time, so he planned to quickly break through Jinyang, and then go south to support.

But Li Shimin came.

All the soldiers and horses he deployed in Jingxing were defeated by Li Shimin, and now Li Shimin occupies Shouyang, and he can't be attracted, making him feel like a thorn in his throat.

Therefore, the rhythm of attacking Jinyang broke instantly.

Now he faces two choices, one is to turn around and withdraw his troops back to Mayi County.The other is to defeat Li Shimin.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Wuzhou felt that these two choices were not easy to make.

If he returns to Mayi County now, it doesn't matter whether he can escape, but Song Jingang who is far away in Puzhou will undoubtedly die.

Because once he left, Song Jingang became a lone army.

Therefore, he had no choice but to defeat Li Shimin.He knew very well that Li Shimin would never let him go easily.

Therefore, Liu Wuzhou assembled troops and horses, preparing to deal with Li Shimin.

Liu Wuzhou put his energy on dealing with Li Shimin, and the pressure on Li Yuanji in Taiyuan dropped sharply.During this time, he wrote dozens of letters and sent them back to Chang'an, asking his father to let him withdraw from Taiyuan.But every time they waited, Li Yuan gave him extremely severe reprimands.

Coupled with Liu Wuzhou's heavy siege of Taiyuan, he could only be forced to guard against it.Originally, he thought about escaping directly regardless of Li Yuan's order. After all, he is the prince, and the prince and the saint will definitely protect him.

But a letter from the king of Chu changed his mind.

Li Zhiyun told him in the letter that if he could not defend Taiyuan this time, his father would be extremely disappointed in him and would deprive him of the right to lead the army from now on.In addition, Li Zhiyun analyzed the pros and cons for him; Brother Yan's [-] troops will enter Taiyuan from Jingxing, and he, Li Zhiyun, will quickly deal with Song Jingang and go north to support him.As long as he can hold on, he will surely win in the end.

With the development of the situation, Li Yuanji chose to stick to it, because he knew that Li Zhiyun did not deceive him.Taiyuan is the land of Longxing, once it is lost, even if the father wants to protect him, the second brother will not let him go.

It is very likely that he will really lose the power to lead the army.

At the beginning of December, he received a letter from his second brother, knowing that his second brother had led an army to Shouyang.In this way, he did not give up his plan to escape from Taiyuan.

In Jinyang's temporary political meeting room, civil and military personnel gathered together.

Dou Dan excitedly said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Qin has led his army to Shouyang and is fighting fiercely with Liu Wuzhou. Our army can come out of Jinyang to support and attack Liu Wuzhou from the rear. In this way, we will surely win a complete victory."

"Fart." Li Yuanji dismissed it, and reprimanded: "How many soldiers and horses in Jinyang can go to support the King of Qin? If Liu Wuzhou turns around and attacks Jinyang, who will be responsible for the loss of the city!"

Dou Dan felt indignant. When Liu Wuzhou surrounded Taiyuan, Li Yuanji wanted to escape, but Xia Houduan and Yu Wenxin tried their best to stop him.Now that the fighter is in front of him, he actually dismisses it and wants to give up.

There is simply no cure!
Dou Dan felt extremely aggrieved, following Li Yuanji to station in Taiyuan was the most stupid decision he ever made, bar none!

Xia Houduan persuaded: "Sima Dou is calm and don't be impatient. What His Royal Highness Qi Wang said is not unreasonable. Now Liu Wuzhou's army is still there. It is not easy for us to hold on for several months. It is better not to take risks lightly."

In fact, Xia Houduan was also heartbroken.Li Yuanji didn't care about it. When Liu Wu surrounded the city in Taiyuan, Li Yuanji almost didn't offer the city to surrender.If he and Yu Wenxin hadn't tried their best to stop Li Yuanji, Taiyuan would have been lost by now.

For Li Yuanji, Xia Houduan no longer had much expectations, but only hoped that he could keep Taiyuan.Sometimes when I think about it, Xia Houduan also finds it incredible.The crown prince, King Qin, and King Chu are all so outstanding, why is this King Qi so unbearable.

Xia Houduan and Li Yuan are old friends, and they treat the prince, King Qin and others as if they were his nephews in the next life, but King Qi's performance really disappointed him.

Seeing Dou Dan's unwilling face, Li Yuanji rolled his eyes, thought about it, and said, "Dou Dan, if you want to help, I allow you to go."

Dou Dan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your success!"

"Inappropriate." Yu Wenxin, the general of the right guard, saw through Li Yuanji's plan at a glance, and immediately stopped him: "The troops in Taiyuan City are insufficient, and the division of troops at this time, whether it can help His Highness King Qin defeat the enemy is another matter, and what about your own safety, General Dou? What about security?"

Hearing this, Dou Dan was taken aback.

Divide up?Shouldn't he lead all the soldiers and horses to support King Qin?

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the general does not understand what you mean."

Li Yuanji scolded the old fox secretly, feeling very bad.In Li Yuanji's eyes, Yu Wenxin was even more hateful than Xia Houduan.

Xia Houduan just advised him, but Yu Wenxin sent someone to Chang'an to make a small report at every turn, which made him often reprimanded by his father.

"If General Yuwen is worried, how about going with Dou Dan?" Li Yuanji said expressionlessly.

Yu Wenxin shook his head and said, "Your Highness, right now our army can stick to it and wait for help. There is no need to make extra troubles. We should follow His Highness King Qin's arrangements."

Having said that, Li Yuanji snorted coldly, and said in a strange tone: "That's right, we should wait for His Royal Highness King Qin to arrange."

After all, I don't care about these people, and leave directly, leaving everyone looking at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing this, Yu Wenxin shook his head.

But Dou Dan was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, he only realized at this time that Li Yuanji wanted to kill him!
Xia Houduan sighed silently, if he can get out of this battle safely, maybe he should consider leaving Bingzhou.
