Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 20 Retreat
Li Zhiyun knew Li Jiancheng's attitude, so he could only politely say: "Brother, if we defeat Wang Shichong and Li Mi comes to attack Luoyang, can we hold it?"

Wei Ting said quickly: "Sir, what Duke Chu said is very true. Li Mi wants to move Luoyang. Even if we capture Luoyang, we may not be able to hold it."

Li Shimin also said: "Yes, brother, Zhiyun is right, Wang Shichong will be able to win sooner or later, but if Li Mi comes to disrupt the situation, the war will be out of control."

He praised Li Zhiyun's wit in his heart. At this time, he couldn't expose his shortcomings, and told Li Jiancheng what he couldn't beat and what he couldn't beat. This was angering Li Jiancheng's competitive spirit.This kind of euphemism is obviously more acceptable.

Sure enough, Li Jiancheng nodded, "Then retreat temporarily and let Li Mi deal with Wang Shichong."

In fact, he wanted to retreat in his heart, but he was unwilling to accept failure, so he could only meditate rigidly.Li Zhiyun's rhetoric gave him a step up.

Subsequently, the three brothers decided that Li Jiancheng's troops suffered heavy losses, so they would not be the vanguard, and Li Shimin would be the vanguard and return first.Li Jiancheng's troops and horses are in the middle to ensure safety.Li Zhiyun led the army to defend against Wang Shichong's surprise attack.

The day before he retired, Li Lao Er found Li Zhiyun who was feeding the horse.

"Zhiyun, if we can lure the enemy out of Luoyang this time, we won't be defeated."

Sure enough, I couldn't help but complain.

At that time, Li Jiancheng was going to attack, and Li Zhiyun was silent. Therefore, in Li Shimin's view, Li Zhiyun's thoughts should be the same as his own.

The horse was chewing the grass, and Li Zhiyun touched the horse's mane, and said helplessly: "Big brother also wants to win the East Capital as soon as possible and strengthen Aye's momentum."

Li Shimin can complain, but he can't.He is a cute, obedient Kogoro.

Maybe it was too long, Li Shimin complained one after another, and finally patted Li Zhiyun on the shoulder, "If you didn't find out Li Mi's scout in time this time, we would be in danger."

"Actually, what eldest brother arranged is right. I am stationed at Hulao Pass. Even if Li Mi comes and commits a crime, he will not be able to defeat him for a while, so we can still retreat calmly." Li Zhiyun said.

"Perhaps." Li Shimin's expression was flat.

A few days later, the army began to retreat slowly.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng's troops and horses began to retreat, Wang Shichong sneered.

"Ignorance child, learn to fight, court death!"

Immediately, he dispatched Yuwen Rutong and Yuwen Wen brothers to lead [-] soldiers and horses to pursue the army.

Although Yuwen Rutong is also surnamed Yuwen, he is different from Yu Wenji, Yuwen Shi and his brothers. His ancestors were really nobles.And Yu Wenhua is actually a descendant of the slave family of the government soldiers, whose surname is Poyetou.

Yuwen Rutong's father was Yuwenkai, the minister of industry of the Sui Dynasty who built the Eastern Capital, a true descendant of a famous family.

Because of this, Yuwen Rutong disliked Wang Shichong very much.Although Luoyang is now in the name of Yang Dong, the king of Yue, the military power is controlled by Wang Shichong.As for Wang Shichong's ambitions, Yuwen Rutong knew very well.

This time, when Wang Shichong sent him to attack Li Yuan's army, he had only one way.

That is to win.

If he doesn't win, Wang Shichong will use an excuse to kill him.Only by winning can we continue to defend the young master Yang Tong.

But can he win?
He entered office as a Ranger Lieutenant, and in fact never fought a war at all.And his younger brother, Yuwen Wen, is just a chef who takes care of the kitchen.

Wang Shichong asked their brothers to lead an army to attack Li Yuan's army, and their sinister intentions were obvious.

"Brother, Lin Mi is ahead, there may be an ambush."

Along the way, Yuwen Wen, who had never fought, looked like there were soldiers in ambush everywhere. He had said this countless times, and Yuwen Rutong was quite speechless when he heard it.

But in the end it was his younger brother, so he could only comfort him: "It's okay, Li Yuan's army is in a hurry to withdraw, and there should be no time to arrange an ambush."

As soon as the voice fell, a sudden change occurred.

I saw two teams of people rushing out of the jungle, and it was obvious that they had been in ambush for a long time.

Although Yuwen Rutong was flustered, he immediately ordered his troops to attack.

However, the commander-in-chief Guo Shiheng actually turned around and led a large group of soldiers and horses to escape.

Yes, the enemy is in front, and the number is not known yet, so Guo Shiheng withdrew so simply!

At this time, Yuwen Rutong still doesn't understand, he has been abandoned by Wang Shichong, he is using a knife to kill people, and he wants to bury himself in the hands of Li Yuanjun!
"Hu thief!" Yuwen Rutong shouted in the sky.

The general Li Yuanjun who rushed over was Duan Zhixuan, the general of the horse army under Li Zhiyun, the Duke of Chu. He could not care about the situation of the other party, he could directly command the soldiers and horses to enter the crowd, chop melons and vegetables, and capture Yuwen Rutong and Yuwen alive with just a stick of incense. Brother Wen.

"Wang Shichong is not a general available?" Duan Zhixuan looked at Yuwen Rutong, "I actually sent you a civilian to lead the army to pursue him."

"If you want to kill you, you have to slash you, and don't use harsh words to hurt people!" Yuwen Rutong's face was cold, and his mood was extremely bad.Although he didn't like that bastard Wang Shichong, the feeling of being directly abandoned by others was really uncomfortable.

"Hey, follow me to see Duke Chu."

Wang Shichong would send people to pursue them, which was expected by the Li brothers, so after Li Zhiyun discussed with them, he set up three ambush lines along the way.

Duan Zhixuan was only the first one, and it was the easiest one to play.

The ambush line in charge of Xie Shufang was more anxious, because the second son of Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanshu, and Guo Shiheng, who came again, were in charge of the pursuit.

However, due to Li Zhiyun's ambush in advance, Wang Xuanshu could not take advantage of Xie Shufang.The two fought in the valley for dozens of rounds, and eventually both sides withdrew with all their strength.

However, Wang Xuanshu and Guo Shiheng had no spare energy to pursue and could only give up.

The last ambush line was in charge of Sheng Yanshi and Shi Danai, who repelled Wang Xuanshu and Guo Shiheng who were chasing after them, and successfully blocked Wang Shichong's pursuit conspiracy.

On the battlefield, Li Zhiyun held a telescopic mirror and looked at Wang Xuanshu and Guo Shiheng who were still following behind.

"It seems that I have to meet this Guo Shiheng for a while."

After speaking, Xie Shufang and Duan Zhixuan both stopped him.

"Chu Gong, Guo Shiheng is brave and good at fighting, if this fellow is violent, it is dangerous!"

Whether it is Duan Zhixuan or Xie Shufang, they are not absolutely sure that they can stop Guo Shiheng.

"It doesn't matter, you all come with me, plus Azhen and Aqiang, it should be no problem."

Li Zhen and Li Qiang want to cry but have no tears, so many people, what are they called Ah Zhen and Ah Qiang, they look like a couple.

Du Ruhui's face had an expression of 'I knew it was like this', this Duke of Chu, once he decides, he will only do it to the end.

Xue Shou and Xue Yuanjing looked at each other and could only comfort them: "You don't have to worry, generals, you will be at Tongguan soon. If there is an emergency, you only need to escort Duke Chu to return to Tongguan and it will be fine."

Hearing this, the four generals can only agree.

Li Zhiyun stopped his horse, and Guo Shiheng and others approached in the distance.

Walking closer, Li Zhiyun could see Guo Shiheng's appearance clearly.

Young and strong, especially his eyes are particularly penetrating.
