Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 627 Competing in the Central Plains (84)

Spring of the seventh year of Yan State 410 (627)
Changan
Passionate music sounded on both sides of the street, which is "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Array".

The king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty and Li Shimin, the general of Tiance, regained Shuofang and made a triumphant return.

Two years ago, Li Shimin was ordered to go out to recover Jinyang.

After more than a year of fierce fighting, he defeated Liu Wuzhou, killed Song Jingang, and captured the fierce general Yu Chigong.

Liu Wuzhou fled back to Yanmen, and was pursued by Li Shimin. In the ravine, one hid and the other searched. After several months passed, Liu Wuzhou was finally beheaded by one of his own guards, and then that guard took Liu Wuzhou The heads of the people went to Li Shimin.

Less than a month after regaining the land of Hedong, Turkic civil strife broke out again. Li Yuan seized the opportunity and immediately ordered Li Jiancheng to make a northern expedition to recover Shuofang, so that Prince Li Jiancheng could also gain some military merits.

Shuofang was occupied by Liang Shidu, and Liang Shidu, relying on the support of the Eastern Turks, often went south to plunder Guanzhong, which had always been Li Tang's serious worry.

After several months of hard fighting, Li Jiancheng and the generals were at a stalemate, and no one could do anything to the other.

In the end, Li Yuan had no choice but to let Li Shimin go out.

Then, in just one month, Liang Shidu was defeated by Li Shimin, and Liang Shidu fled into the grassland with a group of concubines.

Li Shimin led Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong and other generals to return triumphantly, and was welcomed by the people of the whole city.

Looking at the scene of vigorous vitality and all things competing for development in front of him, Li Shimin missed his Guanyin maid even more in his heart.

Father always wanted Prince Li Jiancheng to make more military exploits, but the enemies were all too powerful, and Li Jiancheng often suffered losses. In order to win, father had no choice but to let Li Shimin go to war.

Back in the palace, Emperor Li Yuan personally held a celebration banquet for his victorious son.

Without Li Shimin, Datang would have been destroyed by Yan Guo many times.

In the past few years, the Yan Kingdom has been jumping up and down, and has been fighting the fire. The heroes of the Kanto region attacked the Tang Dynasty, and they also persuaded the Turkic people to go south to plunder the Central Plains.

"Khan is immersed in the gentleness of the women in the Central Plains. Didn't he think that one day in the future, after Li Tang unified the world, Khan would become Li Tang's servant, as humble as a dancing girl?"

The envoys of the Yan State tried to persuade Jieli Khan, but Jieli Khan put all his mind on the internal struggle with the Turkic nobles, and had no intention of going south to the Central Plains at all.

"Zhuzi, it's not enough to seek!"

Facing the current situation of the Eastern Turks fighting among themselves every day, Yan Ming could only shake his head and sigh.

These Turkic people fight civil war every day when they are full and have nothing to do. It is useless to give them a chance!

At the Chang'an court banquet, everyone drunkenly chatted about the world's major events.

"Nowadays, among the heroes in the world, only Hebei Liu Heita, Jiangdu Li Zitong, Yuzhang Lin Shihong, Lingnan Feng An, our brothers, uh... work harder, wipe out the remaining princes, and rule the world!"

It was Cheng Yaojin who said this, and he hiccupped while speaking.

"Hebei's soldiers are well-stocked, if Liu Heita is given a chance, it will probably become a serious problem for my confidant in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jing is thinking about Datang's next strategic plan.

Feng An waited and watched and remained neutral, as long as he lived in the new dynasty and had no ambition to dominate the world, he didn't have to worry about it.

Li Zitong and Lin Shihong, relying on the support of the Yan Kingdom, did not pay much attention to the Tang Dynasty, and often invaded the land of Henan in the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Heikai from Hebei has suddenly been silent in the past few years. He has devoted himself to restoring the people's livelihood and economy and arranging refugees to farm.

From the perspective of hatred value, it seems that Li Zitong and Lin Shihong should be attacked first, but Hebei is relatively closer, and can threaten Hedong and Henan at any time. From a geographical point of view, it is still necessary to attack Hebei Liu Heita first.

"If I want to attack Hebei, do you have confidence!" Li Yuan suddenly asked Li Shimin, he became more and more dependent on Li Shimin, without this good son, Datang would have perished countless times.

"My son will definitely recover Hebei!" Li Shimin didn't even say ambiguous words, but directly gave an affirmative answer. This is the confidence of Admiral Tiance.

As long as he, Li Shimin, goes out to fight, there will be no battle he cannot win!

"You are going to fight again." Changsun hugged Li Shimin, very reluctant to part.

"Wait for me to come back." Li Shimin held Changsun's palm with a gentle tone.

"I believe in you!" Mrs. Changsun replied with a smile.

The couple didn't have much ambiguity, and they already knew each other well. Princess Qin believed that Li Shimin would be able to return victorious. In this world, there was no battle that King Qin Li Shimin could not win.

It has only been three months since the Battle of Shuofang ended, and the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are about to attack Hebei under the command of King Qin.

There are a total of 15 troops, the coach Li Shimin, generals Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin, Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, Li Ji, and so on.

An army of 15, including [-] Xuanjia troops/equipped cavalry, [-] light cavalry, [-] infantry, and [-] Yellow River waterway sailors.

There are still 30 civilian husbands transporting food in the rear.

Mingzhou City

"I didn't want to have a bad relationship with Li Tang, but Li Tang deceived others so much that he wanted to take Hebei from me."

"Originally, I planned to sway between Yan and Tang. Since Li Tang is going to do such a great job, then I have no choice but to fall to Yan."

Xia Emperor Liu Heita, after more than two years of accumulating strength, now has 20 troops, [-] more than Li Shimin, so he is not afraid of Li Tang at all.

20 troops, including 17 armed cavalry, [-] light cavalry, and [-] infantry.

"The Tang army came from afar, we can wait for work in Weizhou, stop the Tang army from crossing the river, and attack the Tang army halfway across the river!" Su Dingfang suggested.

"Zhen, that's exactly what I mean!" Looking at the map on the wall, Liu Heita also thought of Weizhou.

at the same time
Jiangdu City/Yangzhou City

Li Zitong is sitting on the dragon chair where Yang Guang used to sit, receiving envoys from Yan.

"Is your country really willing to sell such a big killer like the original magic cannon?"

Li Zitong, the emperor of Wu, asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

In the battle of Shanhaiguan in the past, the original magic cannon of Yan State defeated the Sui army terribly. This is obvious to all the world. Therefore, among the princes of the Central Plains, who doesn't want an original magic cannon?
However, the military technology of the Central Plains is not as good as that of the Yan State. Many princes issued bounties to let the craftsmen imitate the original cannon of the Yan State, but there were no blueprints, and there was no guidance from the craftsmen of the Yan State. Only the imagination of the veterans of the Sui Army wanted to imitate. How difficult it is!
Because there is already a higher-level King Cannon, Yan State is willing to sell the lower-level Original God Cannon to its allies, otherwise, even if Li Zitong gave Jiangdu City to Yan State, Yan State would never sell the original God Cannon .

"As long as His Majesty is able to attack Tang, then I, Yan, will naturally be willing to sell the original cannon, but there is a limit on the quantity, only one can be sold a year, and we can sell ten to Your Majesty in the first year."

In order to prevent the military science and technology of the Central Plains from developing too fast, even in the face of its own allies, Yan Guo is still very cautious in selling the outdated original cannons, restricting the number of sales places to death, and even if they have money, they will not Earn more.
