Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 909 Iron Horse Autumn Wind Scattered Pass, Journey to Yinma Wei River

"General Duan led his troops to break through Xiao Pass, and it should be remembered as the first achievement."

In Xiaoguan City, the flames of war have not yet been extinguished, Siye strongly commended Duan Zhixuan, and asked Duan Zhixuan to personally record the achievement of the Qin army who ascended the city first, and recorded the 20 most brave men in this battle as the achievement of jumping , Another 50 people were recorded as pioneers.

"This king will present a victory request to His Majesty the Emperor. Those who ascend first will be granted the title of Marquis of Founding, those who dance will be granted a third rank, and those who are pioneers will be granted two ranks."

Regarding the Tang general Gu An who led his troops to surrender, Luo Siye also expressed that he would ask the emperor to make him the founding uncle.

However, Siye was very rude to other Tang soldiers and Tang generals.

He ordered to open the treasury in Guancheng, seize all the money, grain and silk cloth to reward the soldiers, and seize all the grain in Guanzhong for military use.

He didn't plan to stay in Xiaoguan at all, and directly ordered Hou Junji to lead the Hexi army group as the front army and advance to Anding County (Tangjing Prefecture).

After breaking through the gate of Xiaoguan, the road ahead is along the valley of the Jing River. Obviously, the road is wider and the march is more convenient.

This route has always been the route used to attack Guanzhong from outside the pass. The last time Xue Ju and his son attacked Tang, it was also this route.It's just that last time they were blocked in Changwu, Binzhou, and finally they were defeated and the country fell.

But this time, there was no Tang army general in front, let alone heavy troops to intercept.

Hou Jun gathered his troops as the vanguard, and Qingqi marched all the way, as if entering the land of no one, no one dared to stop him.Hou Junji didn't bother to step on Li Tangzhou County City along the way, and drove in.

Those states and counties had no time to be happy, because behind them was Hou Junji's brigade.These are not like light cavalry, they are mainly infantry, and the task is to occupy the states and counties along the way.

Facing the mighty Hexi army gathering, Pinggao, the city of Pingliang County, surrendered without a fight. After that, Baiquan and Pingliang were all donated by local tycoons, and Li Tang's prefectural and county officials abandoned the city and fled earlier.

Mid-October.

Yinpancheng, Huating, Anding, Qiugu, Liangyuan, Chaona and other cities in Anding County surrendered one after another.

The guard of Zheqian City, which used to be the capital of the Xue family and his sons, was Li Tang's family. This Li Junwang swore to defend the city, but he gathered thousands of people, but he only held on for two hours before the city fell.

After the city was broken, the Tang army was beheaded, and the Fan Luo army even looted the whole city directly.

After this battle, the four counties of Pingliang, Anding, Beidi, and Honghua were sent by Siye to attack in multiple ways, and they all went down together.

Early November.

Hou Junji led [-] Qingqi vanguards, and they had already drank the Weishui River and Hebei Province.

On the south bank of the Weihe River, in the Tai Chi Palace in Chang'an City.

Li Yuan's face wrinkled even more in front of the mother-in-law.

The speed of the Qin army's coming is almost unimaginable.

It took less than a month from the fall of Xiaoguan, to the fall of the four counties in the west of Beijing, and to the arrival of Luo Siye's soldiers on the banks of the Wei River.

Li Yuan paced hard in the hall.

"This is really taking advantage of the void."

The two prime ministers, Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, both lowered their heads. Faced with the current situation, they were powerless.At the beginning they also persuaded the emperor not to kill Siye's son, but the emperor killed Luo Siye's son in order to threaten him not to attack Xiaoguan, who knew that it would be self-defeating and completely angered Luo Siye.

What was even more unexpected was that Luo Siye, who did not show any threat for the first time to attack Xiaoguan, was able to pull tens of thousands of horses in Sandao in such a short period of time, and he was so fierce.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Luo Cheng sent people to send Shimin, Chai Shao, and Shuliang back. He just arrived in Hedong County, and heard that my Tang Dynasty killed the son of Siye, and the envoy of the Qin Army detained Shimin and the others. Sent to Luoyang."

Li Yuan also knew that he had messed up, but this was not the time to regret it.

He asked Pei Ji.

"Can we still defeat Luo Siye?"

Pei Ji replied helplessly, "Your Majesty, there are only [-] guards from the Yuan Congyi Army in Chang'an City, [-] more at Sanguan, [-] at Lantian Pass, [-] at Tongguan, and [-] at Tongzhou. There are [-] soldiers, but they have to deal with the Qin army everywhere. Moreover, the Qin army has now cut off the passage with Qizhou, and Li Shentong's Qizhou Sanguan has [-] troops, which can no longer be mobilized."

Li Yuan let out a long sigh.

West of Beijing, Qizhou, and Sanguan.

In the Sui Dynasty, this place was called Fufeng County, and Sanguan was an important gateway from the Qinling Mountains to Guanzhong. In ancient times, this passage was called Chencang Road, because it led to Chencang City in Fuyu County, Guanzhong.

On the other side of this passage is Hechi County in Hanzhong.

Right now, Hechi County is captured by Qin general Huang Junhan, including Hanzhong County, which is controlled by Huang Junhan. He is the general manager of the Hanzhong Road camp awarded by the emperor.

"Is the news true?"

Huang Junhan, Duke of Guo State, frowned and asked.

The soldiers under his command responded, "It has been confirmed again and again, there will be no fakes."

Huang Junhan looked down at the map, amazed, "Half a year ago, the King of Jin was still in Dingxiang, but after that, he not only wiped out Chai Shao's [-] Northern Expeditionary Tang Army, but also captured the entire Hetao. Unexpectedly, this dispatch of troops to the east has already reached the city of Chang'an in an instant."

"It's really incredible."

Several generals praised it together.

"General Dugu, what do you think of the reality in Guanzhong?" Huang Junhan asked Dugu Huai'en, the former governor of Liangzhou in Tang Dynasty. He is the grandson of Dugu Xin.Originally, for him, Tang replaced Sui, it was nothing more than the transfer of the crown from one aunt and cousin to another.

No matter how he is a relative of the emperor, Li Yuan treated him well. He was only a county magistrate in the Sui Dynasty, but Li Yuan promoted him by leaps and bounds.

However, although Wynn's name is Wynn, he is not a Wynn person.

Seeing that the Tang Dynasty was failing, he simply turned his back on Tang and surrendered to Qin.

"Under the festival, now Guanzhong is empty, and Li Yuanxu has his appearance. Although he claims that there are 20 million soldiers in Guanzhong, most of them are recruits and are vulnerable. It only took General Siye a month to fight all the way from Xiaoguan to the north bank of the Weishui River. You know, the humble general advised Jie Xia to take the opportunity to attack Sanguan, and sent his troops to Chang'an."

Huang Junhan smiled.

"The king of Jin has already approached the city of Chang'an. We can't just sit here and watch. General Dugu said well, we have to take action and attack Sanguan. Shentong brought the 2 people back to Chang'an."

"Send me an order to attack Sanguan!"

Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an County, who was sitting in Chencang, received an urgent order from the emperor's cousin, asking him to lead his troops back to Chang'an King Qin to rescue him.

I was just discussing with the generals how to send troops back to aid, but the general of Sanguan Town sent someone to report urgently. Huang Junhan suddenly attacked the key point, and the offensive was fierce, and he asked the county king to send troops for reinforcements.

Li Shentong was stunned for a moment.

The emperor of Chang'an was waiting for him to lead troops to rescue King Jiaqin, but now Sanguan was attacked again and was in danger.

"Hey, let's reinforce the clearance first!" Li Shentong had to stamp his foot.
