I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 264 Two-pronged approach
Seeing Yang Huai's scolding became more and more ugly, Yang Jian's face became more and more ugly, and he knelt there and buried his head in silence.No matter what the purpose is, Yang Jian has indeed betrayed his lord and his general. In the era of loyalty and righteousness, he is indeed a lifelong stain.

Li Shimin naturally had a panoramic view of everything. Seeing Yang Jian's embarrassment, without saying a word, he passed through the surrounding soldiers and walked straight to Yang Jian. He helped Yang Jian up, and said with a look of relief: "General Yang's merits today are in the community and in the world. He conforms to the time of the day and responds to the harmony of people. Because of the general's benevolence and righteousness, he can avoid the loss of life. There is nothing good about it. General Yizhou has worked hard. I will definitely invite the emperor and seal the general. General Huben Zhonglang, I look forward to the general making new achievements in the future and helping me take Yizhou, I believe the general will not regret today's decision."

After finishing speaking, he patted Yang Jian's shoulder heavily. Yang Jian was so shocked that he looked at Li Shimin with red eyes, and his lips trembled a little, as if he wanted to say a thousand words, but he just couldn't come out.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan, stepped forward and said with a smile, "General Yang Jian, why don't you thank my lord quickly."

"The final general is grateful to the lord for his trust. In the future, he will surely repay the general's kindness." Yang Jian was worried that he would be disgusted by Li Shimin. Born, but rewarded himself.

I am in tune with the weather, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After saying that, he straightened his waist, ignored Yang Huai's scolding, and led the way, leading the Bingzhou Army to Jiameng Pass.

Thanks to Yang Jian's surrender, Li Shimin took this dangerous pass almost without a single soldier. At the same time, he also completely opened up the logistics material transportation line, and the subsequent grain and grass were directly transported to Jiameng along the Jialing River. It can be said that this pass is the front-line fortress of Li Shimin's conquest of Yizhou.

Moreover, the news that Jiameng Pass was taken down did not leak out, and Yang Jian's surrender gave Li Shimin the opportunity to cooperate with the outside world and take down Jianmen Pass.

Under the leadership of Yang Jian, a group of hundreds of "remnant soldiers and defeated generals" at the west gate of Jianmen rushed out at a high speed, bypassed the military stronghold built by the Bingzhou army, and headed towards Jiange.

In addition, under the leadership of Zhang Liao, the [-] army marched down the Jialing River to Langzhong in Bazhong County. Thanks to the convenience of water transportation, there were large ships that could consign the supplies, food, soldiers, etc., and the march was much more convenient. .

Yang Jian successfully fled to Jianmen Pass with a hundred remnants of the defeated general, and informed Gao Pei, the guard of Jianmen Pass, about the situation of Jiameng Pass.

Inside Jianmen Pass, Yang Jian was brought in front of Gao Pei. Gao Pei was very surprised when he heard that Jiameng Pass was lost so quickly. Looking at Yang Jian kneeling on the ground, he asked half-believingly, "Yang Jian, Jiameng Pass is easily lost. It is difficult to defend, and with the Jialing River and Bailong River surrounding the city, how could it be broken by Li Shimin so quickly?"

Yang Jian said angrily: "Then Li Shimin is too cunning, he sent people to sneak into Jiameng Pass a long time ago, and Li Xuan, the captain of the city gate, was actually planted in our army by Li Shimin two years ago." Secret agent, I have been deceived until Li Shimin killed me a few days ago, and I was captured by the enemy under the cooperation of the inside and the outside. General Yang Huai resisted desperately and bought time for me. He wanted to inform the general of the news here and let the general Prepare early." After saying that, Yang Jian knelt on the ground and choked up.

After Gao Pei heard about it, he was also shocked into a cold sweat. Although the reason seemed unbelievable, Gao Pei knew that it might be true.

When Liu Yan in Yizhou was there, he received tens of thousands of refugees who had fled from Sanfu and Nanyang. Liu Yan collected them all and trained them as "Dongzhou Soldiers", which is also the most elite combat force in Yizhou. Later, after Liu Yan died, the Dongzhou soldiers were divided up by many generals. Among them, Gao Pei and Yang Huaijun had many original Dongzhou soldiers. The composition of tens of thousands of refugees is too complicated, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems.

Therefore, Gao Pei gradually accepted Yang Jian's statement in his heart. Why did he break out in a cold sweat because who can guarantee that there is no second Li Xuan in his hands?The seeds of doubt had already taken root in his heart.

Soon Gao Pei rushed the situation of Jiameng Pass and the possible meticulous work of the Dongzhou Army to Chengdu to inform Liu Zhang. He himself was more careful and continued to build Jianmen Pass. Hundreds of soldiers were stationed on the trail to prevent Li Shimin from attacking, and Yang Jian also successfully broke into Jianmen Pass.

There are more than 1 troops guarding Jianmen Gate. It is not that Liu Zhang is reluctant to send troops to Gao Pei, but that the pass is between mountains and there is no place to build a military camp, so it is impossible to garrison troops on a large scale. Don't move, ten thousand soldiers are enough, too many soldiers and horses can't move, so Gao Pei led ten thousand soldiers to defend here.

So just relying on Yang Jian's hundreds of soldiers as internal support, it is tantamount to a dream to cooperate with Li Shimin to win Jianmen Pass, but this ambush will work sooner or later.

The news quickly spread to Chengdu, and Liu Zhang panicked, and hurriedly invited all the civil and military personnel over to discuss countermeasures.

All the civil and military men under his command were also very shocked when they heard about it. They did not expect Li Shimin to take down Jiameng Pass so quickly. This is completely different from what everyone expected. Everyone thinks that Li Shimin probably bypassed Jiameng Pass and directly attacked Jianmen Pass. , In this way, Yang Huai will have the opportunity to sweep Li Shimin's food road from behind, keeping him stuck in his throat, unable to fight for a long time, and with Jianmenguan, an insurmountable pass, blocking the front, Li Shimin's final result can only be a desperate Withdraw to Hanzhong.

But once the Jiameng pass is broken, then Li Shimin can continuously transport food, grass and supplies to the front line, and he can spend a long time with himself, then the outcome will be hard to say.

Liu Zhang rubbed his swollen head, and said with some worry: "Li Shimin's approach is menacing, and Jiameng Pass has been breached, our army has lost the opportunity. Can you guys have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, looked at each other, no one answered, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.

Seeing Liu Zhang's face getting more and more ugly, Huang Quan stood up and said: "My lord, although Li Shimin has occupied Jiameng Pass, Jianmen Pass is a dangerous place, and General Gao Pei is guarding it. It is expected that there will be no worries in a short period of time. As long as you hold it Jianmen Pass, Li Shimin has no choice but to retreat."

Before Huang Quan could finish speaking, Wu Yi also jumped out and said, "What if Li Shimin's soldiers divide into two groups and attack Bazhong County by water, and encircle Chengdu from behind? So what?"
