Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 247 Tang Army Surrounds Luoyang City

In fact, he was probably also worried.

Fraternity is the modification of his favorite women, and promiscuity can also describe what he does.Like his elder brother, second brother, and fourth brother, when they fancy a woman, if they can get it, they always get on the train first and then make up the fare, and sometimes they don't make up the fare.

Li Zhiyun is different. He and his first wife, Yang Shi, get on the bus first and then make up for the fare.Yang is a dignified and respectful person, although occasionally she has a petty temper, but in Li Zhiyun's eyes, it is her cute performance.Therefore, he loves his wife.

Now that their husband and wife are harmonious and complement each other, he doesn't want to see his wife treat Wei Gui coldly.

Fortunately, his wife didn't embarrass him.

Li Zhiyun smiled at Wei Gui, and sat down beside Yang Shi.

"You are all here today, and I happen to have something to tell you. Presumably you also know that the imperial court is about to mobilize troops against Wang Shichong. Luoyang is a strong city in the world, and I am afraid it will not be able to take it in a short time. This king will go, at least three In May, at least half a year, I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to Beijing. In the future, you will live in the mansion, support each other, and respect the princess."

"Yes." Wei Gui, Huaiyang, and Yin Shi agreed.

Princess Chu was smiling. The reason why she could accept Wei Gui was because her husband never favored only one person.Her opinion has always been the top priority for major affairs in the mansion.

In this way, it can be seen that the husband is biased towards her.

"Don't worry, Ah Lang, the concubine will take care of the affairs in the mansion. Now that Lady Gui has also entered the mansion, with her by my side to assist the concubine, everything will be safe."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Li Zhiyun put his arms around Princess Chu, chatted and laughed with the girls, expressing his parting feelings.In the next few days, Li Zhiyun was alone for a night, and the rain and dew were all wet. Except for Huaiyang who was pregnant, the other women all received the favor one after another and became more and more charming.

Among them, Wei Gui changed the most. She hadn't tasted the joy of men and women for a long time, and under the nourishment of Li Zhiyun, she became more and more dazzling.

No matter how good the beauty is, Li Zhiyun had no choice but to leave Chang'an when he was going on an expedition.

In October of the third year of Wude, Li Yuan issued an edict, counting Wang Shichong's sins in detail, and ordered Li Shimin to lead an army to conquer Luoyang and restore the eastern capital.

The Tang army had already assembled, and following Li Yuan's order, they left Tongguan east and headed for Henan.

The mobilization of soldiers and horses in the Tang Dynasty failed to deceive Wang Shichong.After Chang'an's secret work sent the news back to Luoyang, Wang Shichong was greatly panicked.

This time the Tang Dynasty mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, obviously to destroy him, which made him stand ready.

Immediately, he ordered Wang Xingben to guard the tiger prison, Wang Tai to guard Qinyang, Wang Shiyun to guard the south city of Luoyang, Wang Shiwei to guard the Luoyang treasure city, prince Wang Xuanying to guard the east city of Luoyang, Wang Xuanshu to guard Hanjia, and Wang Daoyu to guard the north of Luoyang city.

And Wang Shichong himself sits in the Chinese army and personally commands and dispatches.

Judging from Wang Shichong's layout, he and Li Yuan are actually similar in that they both trust and reuse the clan.

But it is a pity that Wang Shichong's background cannot be compared with Li Yuan's.

The Li family was born in Guanlong, and the children of the clan have practiced literature and martial arts since childhood, and their abilities far surpass those of Wang Shichong's clan.

On October [-]th, the Tang army entered the border of Henan. Li Shimin stationed troops in Cijian and ordered General Zhai Changsun to lead his army to lure Wang Shichong.

At this time, Wang Shichong's various armies gathered one after another. Facing Li Shimin's attack, he naturally had to fight back.

The two sides fought two fierce battles from morning to late night. It lasted two days and two nights. Wang Shichong knew that he was invincible and returned to Luoyang.

According to this, Li Shimin asked the major managers under his command to lead troops to attack Zheng Jun's various strong cities in Henan.

On the eighth day of November, Hou Junji returned to Luo, cutting Luoyang off from the north.Qu Tutong broke through the nine bends, cut off the support routes of the Zheng army in various parts of the south, Wang Junkuo beheaded Wang Shichong's general Yan Shuo, and forced the Zheng army to stick to Jinyong.Shi Danai marched from Taihang, crossed the river through Hanoi, and wiped out Zheng Jun's northward division.

In December, the Tang army entered Beiman Mountain and blocked the entire Luoyang siege.

Although the war was one-sided, the process was not easy, and Li Zhiyun was well aware of the twists and turns.

For example, when Qu Tutong crossed the valley water to intercept Zheng Jun, King Qin's support was not good, which almost made Qu Tutong fall into the soil early.

Another example is that after the Tang army entered Beimang Mountain, Li Shimin wanted to kill Wang Shichong directly in one go, ordered Jingqi to line up, and invited Wang Shichong to fight.

Wang Shichong was not intimidated, so he led the army directly to the meeting. The battle between the two sides lasted for two days and one night. In the end, countless injuries were caused. Even Li Shimin's horse was shot to death by the rebels.

It wasn't until December that the various troops of the Tang army successively wiped out the Zheng army stationed around Luoyang, and gradually completed the siege of Luoyang, so that Wang Shichong could only retreat to Luoyang.

In Li Zhiyun's memory, King Qin conquered Wang Shichong, and the general direction of the war was the same.It's just that because of his appearance, Tang Jun's siege of Luoyang accelerated.Moreover, there is no Dou Jiande to help Wang Shichong this time.

Tang army camp.

"Father has sent someone to send news that Luo Yi sent troops to attack Dou Jiande. Now Dou Jiande is confined in Hebei and cannot move. Wang Shichong has no reinforcements outside. The city will be destroyed soon." Li Shimin's face was full of excitement.

Although the war process was a bit thrilling, what he played was excitement and heartbeat.

Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, Luoyang City is tall and strong, and has been repaired and reinforced by Emperor Sui Yang many times. If you attack by force, you will not be able to take it for a while. What you mean is that Your Highness can besiege instead of attacking the city. COFCO is gone, let’s break the city again.”

Li Shimin nodded, glanced at the generals, and finally fell on Li Zhiyun.

"Zhiyun, what do you think?"

Along the way, the King Chu army under Li Zhiyun's command has not lost a single defeat, and they are invincible in attacking cities and villages, which is no less than the combat power of his troops.

Li Zhiyun pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "I have no objection to what Fang Canjun said. It's December, and it's very cold, and it's not good for soldiers to attack the city. We should cut down all the trees around Luoyang. First, it can be used to make fire, and second, It can also make Luoyang's army and people suffer from hunger and cold. In this way, we can send people to spread rumors in the city, so that the interior will be self-defeating. At that time, our army can cooperate with the inside and outside to attack Luoyang."

"Good plan!" Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Chu is really good."

Li Shimin nodded, very happy.

Sure enough, the fifth brother is still a person.

As for Qi Wang Li Yuanji, Li Shimin really didn't want to see him unless he had to.

Li Yuanji himself didn't say a word. Since the attack on Luoyang, he hasn't made any moths.Whatever Li Shimin asked him to do, he would do.It's honestly surprising.

Immediately, Li Shimin ordered that all soldiers and horses besiege Luoyang to death, and not one person and one horse should be released, otherwise they will be killed without pardon.

The order was delivered quickly. After receiving the news, the armies sent people to keep a close eye on Luoyang, and at the same time sent people to start logging.

Li Zhiyun discussed with Li Shimin for a while, and then left the big tent.

He thought to himself, without Dou Jiande coming to help Wang Shichong this time, Li Shimin should not have the record of "capturing two kings in the battle of Hulaoguan".

Walking on the road, Li Zhiyun asked, "Keming, when do you think Luoyang will be captured?"

"Next year's spring at the latest." Du Ruhui said: "As soon as our army entered Henan, the counties and counties along the way surrendered. There is only one land left in Luoyang. The food and grass in their city is not enough for the soldiers and civilians. My subordinates speculate that the puppet Zheng will collapse on itself."

The Tang army attacked Wang Shichong, winning all the way. Before many places were attacked, the local officials greeted Wang Shichong and surrendered to the city.

People who are successful feel incredible.

Wei Zheng said at this time: "This is the end of unpopular people. I learned from Zheng Junjiang's mouth that Wang Shichong is not only conscription forcibly, but also robbing the people's food. In order to prevent the people from fleeing, he ordered the officials. Catch those who escaped, even with relatives. He has no morals and no popular support, how can the local people support him. Such a defeat is reasonable."

"Xuan Cheng's words are reasonable, and this king is taught." Li Zhiyun said.

In history, Wang Shichong also lost so quickly.Many places under his rule did not obey his orders. When the Tang army attacked, they turned wildly and countless surrendered.
