Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 422 Who in the world can resist?

Chapter [-] Who can resist in the world?
Luoyang is closer to Hangu Pass than Chang'an. As early as when Wang Renze got the news that the whereabouts of the Tang army's grain and grass were unknown, he speculated that the Tang army might attack from Hangu Pass.That is, four hours after Shan Xiongxin sent troops, Wang Shichong got the news.

Wang Shichong didn't dare to be negligent, so he immediately summoned his confidant Xue Deyin to come to the palace to discuss matters.Xue Deyin was the son of Xue Daoheng, the servant of the former Sui Internal History (equivalent to the servant of Zhongshu). Three phoenixes in the east of the river".

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, this is the only way for the aristocratic family to survive.So Hedong Sanfeng actually served three parties. Xue Deyin's cousin Xue Shou defected to Datang, became Li Shimin's disciple, and was the head of the Qin Palace.But Xue Deyin turned to Wang Shichong and became Wang Shichong's confidant.And Xue Yuanjing, one of the three phoenixes, joined Li Tang after Yu Wenhuaji's defeat. Both his uncle and nephew became one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace.

Seeing Wang Shichong's worried face, Xue Deyin was still very surprised, and asked suspiciously, "I wonder what your majesty is worried about?"

Wang Shichong sighed and said: "Li Tang's heart is clear to kill me. I am suffering from the lack of soldiers and horses, and the lack of food and grass. I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with old man Li Yuan."

Xue Deyin sneered and said: "Your Majesty, if the General of the Guards had no insight into the enemy's situation, Hangu Pass might be full of twists and turns. Now that the enemy is ahead of us, and there is the natural danger of Hangu Pass, don't worry, Your Majesty, Luoyang is as solid as Mount Tai. "

"Actually not!" Wang Shichong shook his head and said, "Although Hangu Pass is dangerous, Liu Wuzhou is in danger of Yanmen Pass. How can he be defeated within three days? If Hangu Pass is attacked by Li Tang at all costs, it will not be safe. !"

Xue Deyin said: "The situation in the world is becoming clearer now. Dou Jiande in Hebei, Li Yuan in Guanzhong, and His Majesty in the Central Plains will surely rule Zhuolu in the world. Du Fuwei in Jianghuai and Xiao Xian in Badong are just dogs that guard the house, so there is nothing to worry about. Your Majesty can send them away." Let us unite with Dou Jiande to fight against Li Tang..."

"But Dou Jiande declared that he is incompatible with me!" Wang Shichong also knew that it would be difficult for him to force Li Tang's army to attack, even if Wang Ren could repel the Tang army's attack this time, there was no guarantee that Li Yuan would not attack again.Wang Shichong said with a wry smile: "Even if I want to unite with Dou Jiande, I'm afraid I won't be able to do so."

Xue Deyin said: "Back then, Cao Cao said that he wanted to be the Marquis Cao of the "General of the Han Dynasty who conquered the West."How can you believe such words?Cao Cao is not the same. If he is really allowed to wipe out the Hulu and rule the world, he has the final say. Even if Cao Cao fails to unify the world and is posthumously named Emperor Wu of Wei, who can restrain him with words.If Dou Jiande wants to map the original land, he will naturally swear against His Majesty, but now Li Yuan has won Guanzhong, Hexi, Bashu, and Hedong again. Now Li Yuan has achieved great momentum.If Dou Jiande is smart, he will definitely join hands with His Majesty to conspire for great things... If not, he, Dou Jiande, will regret it too much. "

Wang Shichong said: "Although this is the case, he, Dou Jiande, seeing that I am in danger today, will definitely open his mouth like a lion and make me pay an unbearable price."

Xue Deyin said with a smile: "Dou Jiande has no sons, but only one daughter. If the family has a big family and no sons to inherit the throne, it can be regarded as the greatest regret. If His Majesty hires Dou Jiande's daughter Dou Xianniang as his wife, and canonize her as the crown princess, Zheng Xia and Zheng Xia will be married. Forever marrying Qin and Jin, how can Dou Jiande stand by and watch?"

Wang Shichong laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Deyin's trick!"

Xue Deyin, "Although I am not talented, I am willing to lobby Dou Jiande with a three-inch tongue to facilitate the alliance between Xia and Zheng!"

……

After nightfall, Wang Shichong asked someone to turn over the brand name of Yang Tong's original concubine. Although Yang Tong, a poor doll, was killed by Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong treated Yang Tong's concubines, especially the eldest granddaughter Yuanshi of Yuan Wendu, even though she was only 14 years old. At the age of [-], he has a graceful figure and possesses the art of seductiveness. Ever since he tasted the taste of the Yuan family, Wang Shichong let the Yuan family sleep with him almost every now and then.

Wang Shichong, who had a serious heart disease in his heart, scored three goals in one night with Yuan Shi in his arms.Exhausted all night, Wang Shichong didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

Wang Shichong slept for a whole day.When Wang Shichong woke up again, it was almost dark.Wang Shichong looked at the already radiant Yuan Shi, who was sitting dignifiedly on a soft bed, reading a book.

Wang Shichong's body slowly responded, but thinking about his already hollowed out body, he sighed long and long: "Juveniles quit sex, middle-aged quit fighting, old age quit greed..."

However, at this moment, Wang Xuanying, the crown prince registered by Wang Shichong, ran into the palace in a panic and exclaimed, "Daddy, daddy... ah... no... father... father, something happened, something happened, something happened! !"

Wang Shichong was very dissatisfied seeing Wang Xuanying's disordered and disorganized appearance.Because Wang Shichong was born as a barbarian, he was often secretly called a barbarian in the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, Wang Shichong not only changed his surname to Han, but also gave his son and daughter profound Sinicization education.Wang Shichong's expression froze, he stared at Wang Xuan with lightning eyes and asked, "What's going on?"

Wang Xuan said urgently: "Just now there was news from Hangu Pass that the champion general and captain-in-law Shan Tong Shan Xiongxin was defeated and captured by his subordinates, surrendering to the Tang army Chen Ying, Shan Tong did not want to betray his father and committed suicide in the Tang camp die..."

Hearing this, Wang Shichong felt his eyes darkened, his breathing was difficult, and he almost fell to the ground.

It took a long time for him to react.

Wang Shichong looked at Yuanshi coldly, and Yuanshi hurriedly turned and left.

Watching the Yuan family, the court ladies and the eunuchs leave the hall.Wang Shichong sighed and said, "Da Zheng is in danger.

"Father, why don't you understand me!" Wang Xuanying asked in bewilderment: "Although Shan Tong is brave and good at fighting, he dies as soon as he dies. Our Dazheng does not lack famous generals who are good at fighting. I heard that Li Mi's former subordinates Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao, Niu Junda, and Cheng Zhijie's martial arts are all under the single pass..."

Hearing this, Wang Shi was so angry that he even tore off a few beards.Right now, he really wanted to smash Wang Xuanying's head open with a golden bone, to see if there was poop inside.As the saying goes, children are for one's own good, and wives are for others' good.Wang Shichong still patiently explained to Wang Xuanying: "Of course it's not that easy to understand, I'm afraid even Duan Da, Wang Long, Cui Hongdan, Xue Deyin, Yang Wang, Meng Xiaoyi, Yang Gongqing may not be able to see it as clearly as I do. "

Then Wang Shichong told Wang Xuanying the fundamental core issue of military power and justice.

……

On the stage of the military camp outside Chang'an City, Li Shimin's expression was gloomy.The cold wind was blowing harder and harder, and Li Shimin's face became colder and colder.He stood on the general's platform for half an hour, but there were very few generals who should gather together.Originally, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the severe cold came out, Li Shimin opposed it from the bottom of his heart, because going out in such cold weather would be extremely unbearable for the entire army, and it would be prone to large-scale non-combat attrition.

However, after Chen Ying defeated Wang Renze, killed more than [-] Zheng soldiers and captured more than [-] people, Li Shimin couldn't sit still when the news of beheading Zheng army generals Shan Tong and Guo Qing reached Li Shimin's ears. .

The battle of Hedong made the crown prince Li Jiancheng unparalleled for a while. It would be a lie to say that Li Shimin didn't mind.But now, if Chen Ying was allowed to break through Hangu Pass smoothly, and his soldiers approach Luoyang City, and fight for the Eastern Expedition, Chen Ying's first contribution would be impossible to escape.Even if Li Jiancheng sat in the East Palace and walked half a step out of Chang'an City, he could win the battle of the Eastern Expedition, at least half of the credit.

This is what Li Shimin cannot tolerate.

Today, Wang Renze has more than [-] troops under his command, only [-] remnants left, belonging to a half-dead tiger.If you don't pick peaches at this time, when will you wait?
At this moment, a tall and strong man with a flushed face hurriedly walked up to Li Shimin and bowed in front of Li Shimin, saying, "The last general, Zhai Changsun, pays his respects to Generalissimo King Qin!"

"General Zhai doesn't need to be polite." Li Shimin looked at Zhai Changsun, and finally there was a trace of warmth on his face.

This Zhai Changsun was originally Xue Juxi Qin's Internal History Order (Zhongshu Ling). When Li Shimin defeated Xue Renguo in Gaochao, he saw that Xue Renguo's power was gone. According to the Internal History Order, Zhai Changsun, the general who guarded the capital of the Western Qin Dynasty, decisively brought Xuan Liang The father and son surrendered to Li Shimin, and Zhai Changsun was appointed by Li Shimin as the Hussar General of the Qin Palace.

Seeing Li Shimin's unkind expression, Zhai Changsun quickly understood why Li Shimin was in a bad mood.It's no wonder that among the generals around Chang'an, who doesn't celebrate the New Year at home during this season?The drums outside the city were beating loudly, but they couldn't hear them.Zhai Changsun looked at the Xuanjia Army behind Li Shimin, with a confident smile on his face, he said with a confident smile: "His Royal Highness, I heard that Chen Ying, the champion general of the Eastern Palace, created an invincible Mo Dao Army?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin felt disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.In fact, Chen Ying did more than create an invincible Modao army?
He founded the Hook and Gun Zhechong Mansion of the Right Guard of the Eastern Palace and led Xun's Second Mansion. He borrowed this almost omnipotent hook and gun soldier to form the Dingyuan Army Lancers who beat the Turks into embarrassment, and then used the hook and gun to In the northern plateau of Hangu Road, more than [-] Tomahawk battalions under Wang Renze's command were wiped out at a cost of almost no damage, and more than [-] pairs of only two heavy armors were captured.

Li Shimin looked at Zhai Changsun and said, "General Zhai also wants to create an invincible iron army?"

Zhai Changsun nodded and said, "The last general has such an idea!"

At this time, Li Shimin was very jealous of Li Jiancheng's elite soldiers, such as Modao Army, Dingyuan Army, and of course the current Beiwei Army had not yet become famous, otherwise Li Shimin would be jealous of Li Jiancheng's Beiwei Army.Hearing Zhai Changsun's words, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "I am satisfied with everything that General Zhai needs!"

Zhai Changsun said: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Qin still remembers the former Yan Dazai, Lu Shangshu, Zhou's official affairs, general regent, and Taiyuan king?"

Li Shimin thought for a while, then asked, "Wuji, do you know who General Zhai is talking about?"

Changsun Wuji showed a trademark smile and said, "Could it be that General Zhai is talking about Mr. Murong Ke?"

Zhai Changsun said: "Yes, it is him!"

Li Shimin's mind slowly remembered who Murong Ke was mentioned by Zhai Changsun. Murong Ke was a famous Xianbei general in the Northern Dynasties during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. The younger brother of Emperor Zhao Murong Jun, an outstanding statesman and military strategist in Qianyan during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, was hailed as one of the top ten famous generals of the Sixteen Kingdoms by later generations.Murong Ke was "young but cautious, deep and magnanimous". At the age of 15, he led the army, fought south and north, and made many military exploits.From the official to the Taizai, he has an overview of the power, but has no selfishness, quells the civil strife, is diligent in the administration of officials, assists the young master, and fulfills his duties with all his heart, becoming the pillar of Qianyan.After his death, Qianyan declined rapidly.

Li Shimin is not very familiar with Murong Ke, he knows that Zhai Changsun should not be aimless.

Sure enough, Cui Changsun said leisurely: "Qianyan entered the pass and competed with Ranwei State in the Central Plains. Emperor Min of Ranwei State Wu was brave and good at fighting, and defeated the strong with the weak. He won ten battles with Murong Ke successively, and Murong Ke lost more than [-] people. Horse, just when Murong Ke was about to retire, he joined the army and offered advice to Murong Ke. He marched forward in a square formation with chained horses, and the other two were placed on one side to cooperate with the main force. Ran Min relied on his courage to underestimate the enemy , Sure enough, it hit the trick, and went straight to the iron horse phalanx in the center of the Yan army. The flank troops of the Yan army attacked from both sides, defeated Ran Min's army, and beheaded more than [-] people."

Li Shimin's fine iron black armored cavalry is now just an ordinary heavy cavalry. In this era, it is not very rare, but it is the same as Wang Renze's Tomahawk Battalion. There is no way to use it on a large scale.

However, Li Shimin's Xuanjia cavalry has not yet become a powerful iron-blooded army that makes people famous all over the world.

However, it was precisely because of Zhai Changsun's suggestion that the black armored cavalry began to change from the original heavy armored cavalry to the heavy armored chain cavalry. Miao, also defeated the enemy with a local advantage with unit density, relying on the impenetrable iron cavalry, like a steamroller, constantly rolling over the enemy.

Li Shimin immediately asked people to prepare a batch of iron locks according to the method Zhai Changsun said, and then joined together with ten cavalry in heavy armor, and the teams were separated by more than ten steps, advancing layer by layer.

When the Xuanjia cavalry who had completed the iron chain chain, under the orders of Duan Zhixuan and Hou Junji, they slowly advanced like fish scales.

When the Xuanjia cavalry started to mobilize, the horseshoes sounded like rolling thunder. Li Shimin's face changed drastically when he saw this scene.

Changsun Wuji followed the sound and saw a black whirlwind coming from a distance.Changsun Wuji felt that he was having difficulty breathing, and his eyes widened in shock.

A chest-high low wall about a foot thick was frozen hard like iron by the ice at this time, and then the cavalry slammed into it without hesitation. With a loud bang, the collapsed low wall splashed There was a big pile of snow.

Li Shimin was dumbfounded, and exulted in his heart: "The power is so terrifying?"

Hou Junji remained silent, but his heart was filled with fear: "With such a powerful army, who in the world can resist it?"
