Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 321 Protect the King of Qin and Prepare to Retreat
In the end, Su Lie decided to surrender.

In fact, he has no feelings for Dou Jiande, and the person who really convinces him is Gao Yaxian.In history, after Gao Yaxian's death, Su Lie would rather go home to farm than surrender to Li Tang, which is enough to show Su Lie's affection for this adoptive father.

But now, Gao Yaxian surrendered without complaint, how could Su Lie return to his hometown to farm.

With Su Lie's consent, Gao Yaxian also heaved a sigh of relief.After all, this was his first mission after allegiance to King Chu, and he didn't want to mess it up.

"Li Yuan, Emperor Tang, probably won't kill the lord." Su Lie was still a little worried.

Gao Yaxian said with a wry smile: "Probably not. Duke Dou is no threat to the Tang Dynasty now. He has lost the hearts of the people in Hebei and can no longer appeal to the people of Hebei. If Emperor Tang can let Xiao Xian off, he should be able to let Duke Dou off too. In the end In the worst case, it should be house arrest."

He felt that he was worthy enough of his old master Dou Jiande.As for whether Dou Jiande wants to submit to the Tang Dynasty, that is not something he can interfere with.

Everyone has his own life.

Compared to that bastard Liu Heita, Gao Yaxian feels that he is worthy of Dou Jiande.

After receiving the news of Su Lie's surrender, although Li Zhiyun wanted to be reserved, he still couldn't hold back, and pulled Su Lie to the side tent, and exchanged some emotions fiercely.Afterwards, he placed Gao Yaxian and Su Lie under Duan Zhixuan.

Everything that should be done has been done, and Shi Bobi also withdrew from Hebei.If King Qin hadn't been in danger in Bingzhou, Li Zhiyun's expedition to Hebei can be said to have won a complete victory.

Dou Jiande was wiped out and Shi Bobi was beaten away.

Right now, Li Zhiyun has one last worry.

Luo Yi!

In the big tent, civil and military personnel gathered together.

Li Zhiyun said in a deep voice: "Now that Shi Bobi has withdrawn from Hebei, and Dou Jiande's troops and horses have been destroyed, we will take all the land in Hebei south of Youzhou. However, Luo Yi's side, this king is still worried."

Although Luo Yi made an excuse to prevent the Turks from going south and suffered heavy losses, it is still a matter of whether he suffered heavy losses or not.

Li Zhiyun wouldn't believe Luo Yi's words at all, he didn't even believe a single punctuation mark.

He is now waiting for the imperial court's order to go to Bingzhou for support. Before leaving, he has to make arrangements for Luo Yi.Otherwise, once Luo Yi took the opportunity to jump out to pick up the leak, it would not be very good.

Du Ruhui knew King Chu's worry, so he said tactfully, "Your Highness, no matter whether Luo Yi has a different heart or not, it is inappropriate to break up with him now. After all, Xieli is invading Bingzhou in the south, and now in Chuping, Hebei, we should focus on stability." .”

Chu Suiliang suggested: "It's better to let Luo Yi come to meet His Highness, so that we can control Youzhou."

"Inappropriate." Cen Wenwen shook his head and said: "If Luo Yi really has a second heart, we will force him against him by doing this."

"Then what do you think we should do?" Chu Suiliang asked.

Cen Wenwen said: "It's better to be still than to move. Ignore Luo Yi for the time being. Your Highness might as well ask the saint to deliver an order to summon Luo Yi to Chang'an as an official. In this way, Luo Yi has no reason to refuse. If he refuses, the saint will definitely let His Highness crusade Luo Yi."

I have to say that Cen Wenwen's move is very good. It can not only test Luo Yi, but also have an excuse to attack Luo Yi.

If Luo Yi goes to Chang'an, everyone will live in peace.If Luo Yi doesn't go, then it's disobedience and disrespect, a dead end.

However, Li Zhiyun cannot adopt it now.

Only Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, and Xue Yuanjing knew the real situation in Bingzhou, and it was impossible for Li Zhiyun to stay in Hebei to deal with Luo Yi.

At the very least, Li Zhiyun can't stay in Hebei and Luo Yi to waste time until he defeats Xieli.

Li Zhiyun thought for a while and said, "Well, let's send someone to Youzhou to appease Luo Yi, and stabilize him for the time being. After King Qin solves Xieli in Bingzhou, I will ask the saint to transfer Luo Yi to Chang'an."

"Yes." Everyone clasped their fists together.

In the middle of June in the fifth year of Wude, Bingzhou.

Since the back road was cut off, Li Shimin fought and retreated all the way, suffering heavy losses in troops and horses, and was finally surrounded by the Turkic army in Huanghuadui, Shuozhou.

He can fight right, but the problem is that he has no food!
Shanyang fell, all supplies were lost, and the hundreds of thousands of troops under his command had no source of food. Coupled with the huge pressure from the external Turks, the morale of the army had begun to collapse.

Being able to persist until now is the limit of what Li Shimin can do.

Now, many Tang soldiers know that they have become a lone army, and even know the bad news about the shortage of food and grass.Therefore, in the Tang Army camp, there are sighing and even desperate Tang Army soldiers everywhere.

There were hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops outside. They were surrounded and fought fiercely for several days, but they still couldn't get rid of the Turkic pursuit.

If the fight continues, I'm afraid they will be completely wiped out.

within the tent.

Li Shimin was sitting on his knees, his hair was disheveled, his face was dark, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was exhausted to the extreme.No one knows how he spent this period of time. This crisis can be called the most dangerous situation since he fought on the battlefield.

Changsun Wuji walked into the tent and saw Li Shimin looking down.

He knew the current situation, so he didn't say any nonsense, and directly got to the point with Li Shimin.

"King Qin, you must live!"

alive?

Li Shimin looked up at him, "The Turkic army is out, it's not easy for me to live."

"Easy!" Changsun Wuji said resolutely: "Although the Xuanjia Army failed to defeat Shanyang's power of thinking, the soldiers and horses were not damaged. Your Highness, abandon the army and use the Xuanjia Army as a shield, and you will be able to escape the danger!" "

At the beginning, Li Shimin sent the Xuanjia Army to return to Shanyang first, to attack Zhishili, in an attempt to relieve the pain in his back.However, due to the fierce Turkic offensive, with the speed of Xuanjia heavy cavalry, they could not escape, so they had to give up.

"Give up the army?" Li Shimin asked, "Do you know that these hundreds of thousands of troops belong to the king?"

"But without the king, there would be no such hundreds of thousands of troops." Changsun Wuji said: "As long as the king is still alive, sooner or later he will have such a large army. If you have something good or bad, the king, everything will stop!"

"If this king abandons the army and flees, how will he face his father? How will he face the court officials?"

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said, "This time, the fall of Shanyang is not the fault of the king, but the king of Qi. If it hadn't been for the fall of Shanyang, how could the king be in danger and cause heavy losses to our army? King, as long as you live , everything has a chance to come back.

If, my lord, you die, then nothing will be left!

Nothing! "

Nothing left!

Li Shimin's mind fluctuated violently.

Changsun Wuji continued: "This time Shanyang fell, it was too weird, Fang Xuanling didn't even send someone to send the news, there must be something wrong with it. Your Majesty, we must find an opportunity to find out what happened!
With Fang Xuanling's ability, he wouldn't lose the city so quickly! "

Deafening.

Li Shimin has been thinking about repelling the Turks, but has never thought about the loss of Shanyang.Hearing what Changsun Wuji said now, he also felt a little suspicious in his heart.

Could it be that there is really a problem with the loss of Shanyang?
Thinking of the fact that until now, no one from Shanyang has come to deliver the news, Li Shimin became suspicious.

"Call all the generals, this king wants to discuss something!"

Seeing this, Changsun Wuji was overjoyed.

As long as they are willing to escape wholeheartedly, Xieli will definitely not be able to stop them.Changsun Wuji didn't want Tang Jun to continue to resist meaninglessly. Without food support, he would die sooner or later.In this case, it is better to save King Qin.

"As ordered!"

Soon, the generals of the Tang army passed a resolution to protect King Qin and prepare to retreat!
