The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 603 590 II: Attacking Tangbi in Shandong and surrendering

After the meeting was over, Li Shimin returned to the back account and immediately wrote a letter to his father, telling him the current situation in Henan Province.

After Li Yuan saw Li Shimin's letter, he couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay! Now that Henan has been taken down, my territory has expanded by another province. If I have these four provinces as my base, I will soon develop.

That section of Promise is really a god-man!His calculations are really true!

What a great man!Sure enough, I took down Henan without sending a single soldier.

If there is such a powerful person who protects me, why worry about the world! "

This Li Yuan immediately wrote back to Li Shimin, asking him to train his troops well in Henan and manage Henan well. After his morale is raised enough, he will send troops to attack Tangbi, the king of Jinan in Shandong.

At the same time, Tiao Na Xu Maogong rushed to the north line to help Li Yuanji of the North Army. Now the South Army has won a major victory, but the North Army has already competed with Liu Hei of the Northern Han Kingdom. The tart was marked.

I heard that Li Yuanji's army fought very hard, and the central and southern part of Hebei has been taken down, and it has been connected with Henan, but the Beiping Mansion is very difficult to fight!

The two armies have fought fiercely many times, and both sides have suffered injuries. The Sui army who marched east did not take advantage of it!

After writing the letter, Li Yuan ordered someone to deliver it to Li Shimin quickly.

After Li Shimin received his father's letter, he immediately sent Xu Maogong to the northern line to support his third brother.

I stayed in Henan and stepped up military training while governing Henan Province!

Regardless of every matter, big or small, Li Shimin will definitely solve it himself, and manage Henan in an orderly manner, and the people will gradually settle down.

The former refugees have also received effective order, and the whole society has gradually returned to calm.

Three months later, a large amount of grain arrived from Shanxi Province.

Li Shimin saw that the soldiers were full of armor and the morale of the soldiers was high, so he wrote to his father, requesting to send troops to Shandong to attack the king of Jinan, Tangbi!

Li Yuan was overjoyed after receiving Li Shimin's letter.

Immediately order Li Shimin to lead the army to attack that Shandong, so as to destroy the army against the king Tangbi in that Shandong!

Now Li Shimin's subordinates have a total of nearly 20 soldiers. It is really necessary to have soldiers and generals!

Li Shimin picked a good day to choose an auspicious day to announce the swearing-in meeting, and then, with 20 soldiers, he went straight to Shandong Province and killed him.

Tang Bi of Shandong Province is known as the King of Jinan. His sphere of influence has almost occupied the entire Shandong Province, but in the southern part of Shandong Province, there is still a small area, which is led by the remnants of Yu Wenhuaji!
The Jinan Wang Tangbi's subordinates also have as many as 9 or [-] troops!

Although the power is not very strong, there are not many anti-kings with so many troops in the country!

There are only a dozen families, big and small.

That Tangbi used to be the Jiedu envoy of Jinan. This man has led the army for many years and is very good at fighting.

Ever since he became an anti-king, he has been training the army all day to prepare for battle!

This time Li Shimin led 20 troops to attack Shandong, Tang Bi was shocked!

He hastily recruited his civil servants and generals to discuss countermeasures. There are not many generals under him, and most of them are mediocre people.

There are very few talented people who are particularly outstanding in Wentao and Wulue. This Tang Bi also knows that with his own few generals, it is impossible to be the opponent of Li Shimin.

Tang Bi looked at the generals under him and said: "My dear brothers, you used to be my generals, but later followed me, Tang Bi, to rebel.

I have become the anti-king of Shandong. It has been such a long time. Although our strength in Shandong has developed to a certain extent, our momentum in Shandong has not developed fast enough after all!

Li Yuan started his career in Shanxi, and with the support of talented people and strangers, he rose too fast.

Now his army has occupied the four provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Henan. I heard that most of Hebei has also been taken by him.

This Li Yuan learned from Cao Cao in the time of the Three Kingdoms, and coerced the emperor to make the princes. This old boy is really vicious.

Brothers, now we are outnumbered and outnumbered, what do you think of the current situation!

Brothers, you can speak freely, and if you have anything to say, just say it directly.

If I make a mistake, I, Tang Bi, will not blame everyone. "

The first to stand up was a lieutenant named Tang Wanniu, who was a distant nephew of Tang Bi.

"Uncle, let us talk, then I will talk about my opinion.

If Li Shimin leads a powerful army to attack, we will not be able to win the battle, and we will have no place to escape!

If we escape to other people's territory and live under the fence, wouldn't we become bereaved dogs?
In my opinion, let's not run or fight at all!

We submit to him, isn't it over?

If you want me to say that Li Shimin is still a man of benevolence and righteousness, aren't many generals under Wang Shichong's official positions still unmoved now?

If we are negotiating with him, it is better to plan early.

Once our army is lost, there will be no capital for negotiations.

Once we reach the end of the mountain, it will be too late to negotiate.

At that time, we can only bow our heads and plead guilty, and let others deal with it! "

After finishing speaking, Tang Wanniu sat down.

Then, several generals spoke.

Everyone is begging to surrender!No one even advocated fighting.

When Tang Bi saw that none of his generals were willing to fight, he had no other choice.

Finally, Tang Bi nodded.

"Since this is the case, let's negotiate with them.

This is also good, and it also saves us Shandong people from the suffering of swordsmen.

If everyone can keep their official positions, then I will be worthy of everyone. "

After the discussion, Tang Bi immediately sent a secret envoy to negotiate with Li Shimin.

Now that Li Shimin's 20 troops are under pressure, Li Shimin's troops are divided into five groups to attack Shandong from different directions at the same time, and each group of troops is led by famous generals.

The first army was led by Ma Sanbao, who led [-] troops, and attacked from the northwest.

The second army was led by Luo Cheng. Luo Cheng led [-] soldiers and Ma Sanbao cooperated with each other to attack from the northwest.

Chai Shao led an army of [-] troops to attack from the west.

The king of swords can lead [-] troops to fight with him.

The king of Qin, Li Shimin, personally commanded [-] soldiers, and launched the main attack from the southwest direction.

The war has not been fought yet, and the peace talks mission sent by Tang Bi has come.

After the two sides negotiated, the battle was not fought, and Tang Bi led his tens of thousands of people to surrender to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin won a complete victory and took Shandong without bloodshed.

Li Shimin carried out a major rectification of Tangbi's army. Generals at all levels were generally transferred from the original army and reappointed officials.

Generally speaking, these people generally received preferential treatment!

Now there is a peaceful atmosphere in Shandong Province!

After taking Shandong, Li Shimin immediately wrote a letter to report the great joy. Li Yuan was very happy after receiving Li Shimin's joy.

Now the entire northern region basically belongs to him, and one or two sporadic anti-kings are basically out of control.

Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to step up military training and strive to unify the country as soon as possible!

The North Road army led by Li Yuanji also received news. After a series of bloody battles, the North Road army led by Li Yuanji finally captured Beiping Mansion, and Liu Heita's army was forced to retreat outside the Great Wall. went.

Li Yuan ordered Li Yuanji to garrison Hebei, step up military training, and prepare to defeat Liu Heita's Northern Han Kingdom at all times.
