Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 59 The War Towards a Turning Point

The leader of this Western Qin army is indeed Xue Renyue, the King of the Western Qin Dynasty, and he is indeed sending his father home.

Four days ago, Xue Ju learned that Li Shimin couldn't hold on, and he held on to Changwu City.He was worried about his stupid son Xue Rengao.After discussing with counselor Hao Yuan, he decided to temporarily return to Qinzhou, in order to attack Chang'an again in the future.

But Xue Rengao was a wild dog that ran off the leash, and was not obedient at all.

Heart-worn, and seriously ill, Xue Ju finally passed away and officially GG.

After Xue Ju's death, Xue Rengao succeeded directly in Zhejing City, posthumously awarded Xue Ju as Emperor Wu, and asked Xue Renyue to escort Xue Ju's coffin back to Qinzhou, while he continued to fight with Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, as long as we cross Huating, we will be safe," said Zhong Lisu, a general of the Qiang people.

They walked along the Jingshui all the way. As long as they passed through Huating in Longzhou and entered the boundary of Qinzhou, they would be fine.

Xue Renyue was worried and Zhong Zhong nodded, "General Zhong, this king is still worried that the emperor will stay in Zhecheng alone."

Zhong Lisu was slightly silent and said, "Your Majesty is the enemy of ten thousand people, and Li Shimin is by no means his opponent."

"But Li Shimin defeated the late emperor before."

Zhong Lisu stopped talking. Western Qin and Datang had been fighting in Changwu City for some time. Although Li Shimin hadn't started yet, the tug of war made the Western Qin troops very tired.

Moreover, their food supply could not hold up.

This is a very real problem. From April to September, it will soon be October. The food in Xiqin will run out. How will the fight go on by then?

Xue Ren was waving the whip more irritably, and he was always very uneasy. Losing Xue Ju, he always felt that Xue Rengao was unreliable.

But he is not the heir, he can only obey Xue Rengao.

Two days later, when Xue Renyue was passing by Huating, he met Chai Shao who came to intercept the road.

The flying flag of the Tang army made Xue Renyue paralyzed to the ground.

Zhong Lisu drew his sword and guarded around the coffin, staring coldly at the Tang army surrounded from all directions.

Chai Shao put his legs on the horse's belly, and the war horse stepped aside.

After that, Li Zhiyun stepped forward.

"Xue Renyue, now you are surrounded by this king's troops, why haven't you surrendered?"

Xue Renyue's lips trembled, and he drew his sword tremblingly.

"Li Thief, you can't humiliate my father!"

Still the father?
Li Zhiyun sneered, "Do you think you can beat this king with people like you? Come on, this king won't do anything against the law of nature, you should worry too much."

Xue Renyue's hand holding the sword trembled violently, and finally only heard the sound of 'bang bang' and the long sword fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhong Lisu sighed slightly and could only slowly put down the long sword in his hand.

Li Zhiyun immediately began to interrogate Xue Renyue after taking down the Western Qin soldiers without a fight.

He got two news, one was that Xue Ju was indeed dead, and the other was that there was a problem with the grain supply in the Western Qin Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue and block the Western Qin grain route, and join forces with the Qin King to defeat Xue Rengao." Chai Shao said.

Li Zhiyun shifted his gaze from the map and landed on Chai Shao.

"Brother-in-law, we have to wait for the Prince of Changping to come before we can make a decision."

"The fighter plane is fleeting." Chai Shao emphasized.

Li Zhiyun smiled bitterly, "Brother-in-law, can you guarantee that the uncle will not be angry after the incident?"

Hearing this, Chai Shao was stunned.He immediately woke up in his heart, once they did this, in Li Shuliang's eyes, it must be a steal.

"But, do we just give up the fighter we got?" He was a little angry.Not only angry at Li Shuliang, but also angry at Li Zhiyun's cowardice.

Li Zhiyun didn't care about Chai Shao's belly slandering himself. He had come here to make soy sauce. It was just an accident that he caught the big fish this time.

"Brother-in-law, don't be in a hurry. Cutting off the food supply is important, but we have Xue Renyue and Xue Ju in our hands. What these two can do is even better than cutting the food supply."

"How to do it?"

"Go straight to Huanglong!"

Three days later, the Western Qin team hit the road again, led by Xue Renyue and Zhong Lisu, but the people around them were all replaced by Tang Jun, a total of [-] people.

Li Zhiyun stood on the low wall of Huating, and the telescopic mirror in his hand could see Li Shuliang with Bai Xiao.

"Box Box" Bengbu stopped, and Li Zhiyun let out a thief smile.

Uncle Xie didn't understand what he was laughing at, but said unhappily, "Your Majesty, why don't you take credit for this obvious contribution. If you can get into Qinzhou and take down Xue Ju's nest, you are the number one hero this time."

Li Zhiyun put down the telescopic mirror and recalled the scene when he and Li Shuliang suggested to pretend to be a Western Qin soldier and escort Xue Ju's coffin back to Qinzhou, taking advantage of the maneuvering of troops.

At that time, Li Shuliang also pretended to ask Li Zhiyun if he wanted to steal the crystal base in Xiqin together.

Li Zhiyun immediately stated that he would be stationed in Huating to stop Xue Rengao's reinforcements.

Li Shuliang was very happy. He felt that his little nephew was so sensible, and immediately said that he would give him credit when the matter was completed.

"More porridge, less porridge, eat less with your mouth open, you can always eat enough." Li Zhiyun's mouth curled up.

This kind of credit, everyone is very tempted.Not only was Li Shuliang the one who gave Xue Ju a sock and filial piety, but Chai Shao and Feng Shaoshi also mixed in with the army.

If he goes again, wouldn't it be annoying?

How many people is enough for one steamed bun?
Du Ruhui said appropriately: "General Xie, if Xue Rengao learns that Qinzhou has fallen, he will definitely send troops and horses back. As long as the king can stop it, the credit is not small."

"But I didn't get a lot of credit for winning Qinzhou." Uncle Xie muttered.

Li Zhiyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "If you work hard, you will have the opportunity to make contributions in the future. There is no Xue Ju, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande, and Xiao Xian."

Uncle Xie nodded sadly.

Du Ruhui walked up to Li Zhiyun and whispered, "Your Majesty's move should be more than that."

Li Zhiyun smiled, "Uncle Huang is a general of the Tang clan, how can he steal his limelight."

Hearing this, Du Ruhui understood in seconds.

Besides, Li Shuliang escorted Xue Ju's coffin back to Qinzhou. Xue Renyue and Zhong Lisu were in the team, and they went all the way without obstruction, and they easily approached Chengji, the capital of Western Qin.

Xue Ju's troops and horses all over the country were in Zheyong City, and Zhai Changsun, who stayed behind Chengji, had only [-] troops, and he had no chance of winning against Li Shuliang's troops and horses.

After entering the city, Li Shuliang immediately launched an attack. The war lasted only three hours. Li Shuliang successfully captured Chengji and wiped out all the officials in the Western Qin Dynasty.

Subsequently, Li Shuliang sent people to send the news to Chang'an and Changwu City respectively.

Knowing that Li Shuliang had succeeded, Li Zhiyun did not dare to neglect him. If Qinzhou was lost, Xue Rengao would definitely go crazy. He would either attack Li Shimin or turn around to help Qinzhou.

Huating, Longzhou, which is stuck between Qinzhou and Jingzhou, will become an important battlefield.

Of course, the premise is that Xue Rengao wants to come back.

However, no matter whether he returns to help or not, the second brother Li Shimin will take this opportunity to attack Xue Rengao.

Western Qin is sure to die.
