A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 625 Li Shimin

Li Shimin was very happy that Wang led his army. From another aspect, it meant that Li Tang was on the side of justice and could greatly increase their reputation.

Li Shimin also saw three thousand Yulin Guards. He saw that each of these Yulin Guards were tall and strong, wearing helmets and armor, holding long spears, crossbows and crossbows on their waists. Their morale was high, and their horses were tall and handsome. There are still one person and three horses, and you can tell at a glance that they are the best among the best.

He couldn't help but say: "The Wang family has such heavenly soldiers, no wonder they can travel thousands of miles to defeat Sui Yang in the canal. If there are three thousand heavenly soldiers in hand, they will conquer the world!"

"King Qin, if the Wang family has such a large army, what will they do when the world is unified?" an official next to him said in a low voice.

Li Shimin was silent for a moment, seeming to be thinking about something.
In the military tent, Li Shimin warmly received Wang Xuanjing.

"Your Majesty is here to help us. This time we will definitely be able to win the battle and destroy Liu Wuzhou!" Li Shimin said happily.

"Liu Wuzhou accepted the Turkic canonization, but he no longer recognized his identity as a Xia. We will attack him on behalf of heaven, how can Liu Wuzhou remain undefeated!" Wang Xuanjing said angrily.

The Wang family has always attached great importance to the inheritance of Zhu Xia, and has persisted in it for four hundred years. Naturally, they hate Liu Wuzhou's actions.

"This time King Qin confronts Liu Wuzhou, does he have any strategy to defeat the enemy?"

"Haha, Your Highness, there is no need to dissuade Brother Fang, I am sure of myself." Wang Xuanjing said with a smile. This scribe was Fang Xuanling who he had met in Qidi. After Li Shimin entered Guanzhong, he joined Li Shimin.

In fact, Li Shimin and others had discussed this strategy before, but they had not agreed on who would implement it.

"No, prince, it is too dangerous to go deep behind enemy lines to cut off the enemy's food and fodder. You are a nobleman, how can you put yourself in danger?" The scribe on the side quickly stopped him.

Just by looking at the name of Hedong, Shanxi, you can tell that its terrain is mountainous. It was the territory of the Jin Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is also known as the mountains and rivers inside and outside. If you want to cut off Liu Wuzhou's food and grass here, you will almost die.

"Princes cannot take personal risks!" Li Shimin also dissuaded him.

"We also agree with King Qin's policy, and most of the people in the north have enmity with the Turks, so they are not willing to help Liu Wuzhou. It is very difficult for him to collect grain here for military resources. If they can cut off his grain route, they will soon be If we are to be defeated, then if we attack with a large army, we will definitely be able to defeat Liu Wuzhou!" Wang Xuanjing said.

"My troops are all cavalry. There are deep ditches and high fortresses here. There is no need for cavalry when the two sides are fighting. Leave it to me to cut off the grain road. When the time comes, King Qin will lead his army to attack again!"

Seeing Wang Xuanjing's persistence, everyone couldn't persuade him anymore. Of course, there are many people who want to see Wang's jokes.

"Liu Wu and Zhou General Song Jingang came with a great victory and were supported by the Turks. They have many troops and horses, are in full swing, and have high morale. It is not easy to confront him head-on at this time. We are preparing deep trenches and high bases to wait until his troops are frustrated and their morale is low. Let’s defeat it in one more battle!” Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Liu Wuzhou surrendered to the Turks, and allowing him to live longer in the world would be disrespectful to King Haotianwen!" Wang Xuanjing insisted.

Everyone was very surprised when they heard this. They must know that cutting off the enemy's food and grass is not a simple matter. At this time, the land east of Hedong and Shanxi are almost all in Liu Wuzhou's hands. To cut off their food routes, they have to go deep into the enemy's rear.

After all, the Wang family has never been very friendly towards the world's rich and powerful nobles. Now that his reputation has greatly increased through offering sacrifices to heaven, they naturally dare not object on the surface, but they are not sure in their hearts.

The Wang family is still very familiar with the areas of Hedong and Shanxi. After all, during the Huai Kingdom period, the Huai Kingdom fought several battles here with Qin, Wei, South Korea, and Zhao.

Wang has sufficient records of the topographic map of the mountainous terrain here, and has been supplemented over the years. After Wang Xuanjing and Li Shimin discussed it, the army rested here for a day. The next night, taking advantage of the darkness, they quietly left Baibi, and then walked hundreds of miles around the road to enter Shanxi.

Shanxi is called mountains and rivers inside and outside because there are many mountains and rivers here. Although the main roads are blocked, there are always some small roads that are not blocked.

Most of these paths are rugged and difficult to navigate, and many of them are even steep cliffs, making it difficult for the army to pass. However, for the Yulin Guards, this is not difficult, and climbing over the mountains and ridges is just an easy task.

jump jump jump!
The rapid sound of bowstrings sounded, and thousands of arrows fell in the next second. The soldiers in formation suddenly became confused. Many soldiers subconsciously avoided the arrows, and the entire military formation became chaotic.

Seeing the chaos in the military formation, Wang Xuanjing did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to charge directly into the formation. The infantry who lost their formation were no match for the cavalry.

In just a moment, they were torn apart from their formation, then dropped their weapons and fled.

Wang Xuanjing did not pursue them, and directly ordered people to burn the food and grass. Soon, thick smoke rose. Yu Linwei had no intention of stopping, so he took some of the food and grass with him and evacuated immediately.

About two-quarters of an hour later, there was a sound of horse hooves, and many cavalry came here. After seeing the burned food and grass, the leader's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"It's been burned again. This is already the fifth batch of food and grass! Scouts, follow the footprints and be sure to catch these rats!"

But after the scouts followed the footprints, the footprints disappeared within a dozen miles.

Even if the black-faced general was unwilling in his heart, he could only leave bitterly. Then Liu Wu and Zhou Jun deployed a large number of cavalry in order to protect the grain road.

However, the removal of a large number of cavalry also weakened its frontal combat capabilities, making it more difficult to break through Li Tang's defense.

It was dark at night, and Wang Xuanjing led his army to hide in a mountain col. The three thousand troops suffered very few casualties. Wang Xuanjing cut off the grain transport team several times without killing the soldiers, in order to reduce the resistance of the soldiers.

Three thousand cavalry were able to hide their traces perfectly, and even Liu Wuzhou's tens of thousands of cavalry could not find them even after searching. Naturally, it was because Wang Xuanjing used the Mirage Dragon Ball. The Mirage Dragon Ball erased the traces. Even if Liu Wuzhou had twice as many cavalry, he would never be able to find Yu. Lin Wei.

Five batches of grain and grass were burned in a row, and Liu Wuzhou was damaged at least 30,000 stones of grain and grass. With so much grain and grass burned, even if he got the Jinyang treasury, it would not be enough.

In order to transport food and grass, Song Jingang could only send more soldiers to escort. In order to ensure food and grass, Song Jingang also sent out his general Yuchi Jingde and asked him to lead eight thousand cavalry to be on guard. Once Wang Xuanze's army was discovered, he would immediately pursue it.

At the same time, Song Jingang sent out a large number of scouts. Whenever any abnormality was found near the grain transport team, they would immediately release loud arrows to alert them.

It can be said that we have done everything we can to ensure food and grass security.

On the other side, Baibi Li Shimin clearly noticed that the attack of Song Jingang's army had weakened a lot, and it was obvious that there was a problem in its rear.

Immediately ordered to reward the three armies and be ready for a decisive battle at any time.
