The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 150 Besieged on all sides (recommended for collection)

In order to put pressure on Li Yuan, [-] Turkic cavalry led by Ashina Simo marched southward from Lingwu County and launched an offensive against Li Gui's hometown, Wuwei County. The rear was empty, and the attack of the Turkic army caused Li Gui to withdraw his troops in a panic. He gave up the siege of Xue Ju, and was annihilated by Ashina Simo on the way, and fled to Xiping. Ashina Simo chased after him , stormed Xiping, and Li Gui was forced to retreat into Zhangye County.At the same time, Xue Wanjun led another [-] Turkic troops to take Huining County.

Xue Ju took advantage of the situation to counterattack, defeated Wang Junkuo in Longxi County, and beheaded more than two Tang troops. The morale of the Western Qin army was high, and the troops were divided into two groups to attack the [-] Tang troops stationed in Zhang County and Xiangwu County. The county retreated in Guanzhong, and the Western Qin army regained Longxi and Jincheng counties in one go. They joined forces with Xue Wanjun in Shangyu, Tianshui County, stormed Li Shimin's headquarters, wiped out more than [-] main Tang troops, and launched an offensive towards Dazhenguan.

Liang Shidu's [-] troops, led by Liang Luoren and Xin Liao'er, marched from Pingliang County to Anding County, and took Ding'an County from north to south along the Jingshui River.
At the same time, another cavalry group of the Sui Army, led by Xue Wanche, marched from Shangjun to Beidi County, marched towards Guanzhong along Ziwu Mountain, and conquered Ding'an City. While defending the city, the civilian husband urgently asked Li Yuan for help.

But Li Jing led his troops to the south, entered Jingzhao Yijun County, planned to lure Dou Kang out of the city, and wiped out more than [-] elites!

Dangerous situations appeared in the west, northwest, and north at the same time. Guanzhong was shaken and people panicked. Li Yuan was devastated by the severe situation.

The four porters carrying the father stopped at the square of Wude Hall, put the shoulders down, and a guard carefully helped Dugu out of the bed.

Dugu was expressionless, and his eyes showed strong dissatisfaction. He was deeply dissatisfied with Li Yuan. He thought that Li Yuan's foundation was not stable, so he spread the stall so big, which caused water leakage on all sides.

Although he also agreed with Li Yuan to fight for Bashu, where there is no big power, so as to find a new food-producing area for Guanzhong, Li Yuan patted his chest and assured him that on the premise of defeating Xue Ju, Guanzhong would not have any accidents. Now except for the south, there are dangers on all three sides...

Duguzhen felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Li Yuan.

In the side hall!
Li Yuan was having an urgent discussion with Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng. The severe situation made Li Yuan lose weight and his gray hair grew a lot.

"Although Xue Ju is attacking the Great Earthquake Pass, he has lost too much in the early stage. As long as we stick to the Great Earthquake Pass, Xue Ju will retreat in a short time. I have no doubts about this. Taking it too seriously, his next step will be to rest and attack Li Gui to avenge his death; as for Liang Shidu, it is more of a gesture of being forced by the Sui army!"

This is the conclusion that Li Yuan came to after thinking hard for a long time. As a hero, Li Yuan has a vision that is difficult for ordinary people to see. Therefore, his thinking is not unreasonable.In this way, three to two, only the most powerful Sui army is left.

Seeing his father's silence for a long time, Li Jiancheng knew what he was worried about, and said in a deep voice: "This is obviously a war led by the Northern Sui Dynasty. If the Sui army does not retreat, this battlefield will not end; even without Xue Ju and Liang Shidu , the Sui army can continue to fight the war. If we don’t know the true intention of the Sui army, we don’t know how to deal with it or how to talk about it.”

I have to say that Li Jiancheng was on the right track, because the Sui army dispatched 15 troops this time, and there were 25 Turkic soldiers, a total of [-] elite forces. Insufficient, can you let go of this opportunity to seize Guanzhong?
Li Yuan rubbed the center of his brows, his headache was excruciating! The 25 elite army is definitely not here to see the scenery in Guanzhong.But if the Sui army does not leave, the war will not end, and Guanzhong will not be stable.If you don't understand Sui Jun's true intentions, you can't even talk about negotiations!
It has to be said that due to the appearance of Yang Tong, Li Yuan was a thousand times more difficult than in history. In history, Li Yuan ascended the throne as emperor immediately after Yang Guang's death, and then dominated the world with the power of Mount Tai. The fundamental reason was not that Li Yuan led No matter how powerful the current Tang army is, but his enemies are too useless, either Xue Ju, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei and other half-crippled bandits, or Yu Wenhuaji and Wang Shichong. , that's why Li Yuan was able to reunify the world in a short period of time, but now that there is such an unexpected existence as Yang Tong, Li Yuan has been in trouble since the beginning of the incident, let alone unify the world, even Guan Long has to Before reunification, there is only Guanzhong in the territory, and it is always threatened by Yang Tong.

Liu Wenjing said slowly: "I think that the Sui army is just posing and didn't intend to beat us to death."

Liu Wenjing's words were like beautiful notes, making Li Yuan feel like listening to the music of nature, and asked anxiously: "Zhao Ren, how can this be seen?"

To be honest, Li Yuan was really desperate!
"My lord, this is also the clue from Yang Tong's ruling ideology." Liu Wenjing said in a deep voice: "You can see his intentions through Yang Tong's ruling ideology. He intends to use the chaos to overthrow all the old aristocratic families. Aristocrats, leaders of the gentry, ending since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family has controlled the court and the status quo of the place, so that the success of Guozuo has been passed on! This is a continuation of Yang Guang's thought, but Yang Tong is more ruthless than Yang Guang. Guang just used the Goguryeo War to consume the power of the powerful and powerful army in Guanlong and cut off their wings, while Yang Tong directly swung the butcher knife at the aristocratic family. The policy of benefiting the people has been successfully implemented."

"Yang Tong's ideal Guanzhong is not a stable Guanzhong, but a Guanzhong where there is no rooster crowing for a hundred miles, because if Guanzhong is stable, he will lose the reason to swing the butcher knife at the powerful and powerful in Guanlong, and kill people without excuses. The world will definitely continue to be in chaos." Liu Wenjing's eyes flashed, and she sighed: "To put it bluntly, the enemy in Yang Tong's heart is not the Holy Master, but the Guanlong dignitaries! He needs the Holy Master as a guide, and then pulls the Guanlong dignitaries one by one. On the bright side, it can be destroyed in one fell swoop with justification. To put it bluntly, Yang Tong feels that it is not the time to start with the saint, and this is our reliance."

Li Jiancheng nodded suddenly, his face was very calm, and his eyes were a little misty.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said, "Although Yang Tong despises me and uses it as a knife, I, Li Yuan, are not so easy to bully. The more I am like this, the less I will let him succeed."

Li Jiancheng finally couldn't bear it and said: "But father, if this continues, it will be more and more unfavorable to us."

"You mean the rich and powerful in Guanlong." Li Yuan was not a fool, and immediately understood the key meaning.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Guanlong dignitaries can support my Li family, or support other people, when there is no hope..."

Before he finished speaking, a guard reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Dugu Xiangguo is asking to see you!"

"Please come in!"

Li Yuan dare not neglect Duguzheng, Duguzheng is not only his uncle, but also one of his biggest supporters.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing, smiled wryly and said, "Here comes the pressure, you two should step back first!"

"Here!"

The two stood up, saluted, and retreated.
