A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 636 Seizing the City
"It is not difficult for King Qin to defeat Luoyang, but after defeating Luoyang, can he be sure to deal with Dou Jiande?" Wang Xuanjing said with a smile.

"Dou Jiande said he came to rescue Wang Shichong, but more importantly, he wanted Datang and Wang Shichong to fight to the death. He would take the opportunity to defeat us and annex Wang Shichong, but his plan was wrong!" Li Shimin said with confidence.

"If he doesn't come, let's pay him back. If he dares to come, I will capture him!"

Li Shimin was very confident, and he was indeed sure about Dou Jiande. Although Dou Jiande was strong, Shandong and Hebei were severely harmed by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, and the population, money and food suffered heavy losses. If Dou Jiande could govern with peace of mind for a few years and accumulate strength, he would definitely be able to do so by then. Difficult.

But now his foundation is not stable. Although he has many soldiers and generals, he does not have many elites. Li Tang worked hard to build a Xuanjia army, which would be able to defeat his army in one battle.

"The King of Qin has such ambitions, I am relieved." Wang Xuanjing said happily, then stood up again, saluted him, and said solemnly: "The Wang family is willing to help King Qin to unify the world!"

"Great, please get up, Your Majesty." Li Shimin quickly stepped forward and helped him up. Wang Xuanjing's words about assisting the King of Qin rather than the Tang Dynasty were selectively ignored.

Except for a few of the civil and military officials under King Qin's command, they didn't feel anything and were still very happy.

I have to say that Li Shimin is indeed broad-minded. Just look at the people under his command. From Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong, and Cheng Yaojin, these people are basically reduced generals, but Li Shimin can unite them.

"Your Highness King Qin, we have prepared 100,000 stones of grain and grass, which have been transported to Daliang through the canal. King Qin can send people to transport the grain and grass. There will be another 200,000 stones of grain and grass in the future, which will be transported within a month, enough for an army. And it is used by the people of Luoyang." Wang Xuanjing said.

When Luoyang is conquered, the people in the city will soon settle down, and Luoyang will not suffer much loss.

"King Qin, this man is an old general of Liu Wuzhou. His name is Yuchi Jingde. He is a first-class tiger general. He was captured by me when he defeated Liu Wuzhou. Now that I have returned to the Tang Dynasty, I should recommend him to His Highness." Wang Xuanjing said. Then he introduced the person behind him to Li Shimin.

In addition, Wang Xuantuo was appointed to be responsible for the logistics of Qin Wangbing Cao Shenjun, and another Wang Xuanhan was appointed to offer wine to Qin Wangfu.

Li Shimin immediately ordered people to go to Daliang with Wang Xuanjing's letters and tokens.

Two days later, one hundred thousand stones of grain and grass and three thousand feathered forest guards all arrived at the camp outside Luoyang City. When he saw the mountains of grain and grass and the elite soldiers, Li Shimin was filled with pride.

"Your Highness the King of Qin, in addition to these provisions, I also brought three thousand Yulin Guards to obey your orders." Wang Xuanjing continued.

"But the Yulin Guards who defeated Liu Wuzhou?"

Li Shimin also knew Yuchi Jingde's name and accepted him without caring about his status as Liu Wuzhou's descended general.

"Okay, okay! The people of the world will report your merits to your majesty!" Li Shimin said happily. At this time, he was worried about the lack of food and grass. In the blink of an eye, the food and grass came. Not only did their army's food and grass disappear, but also the people of Luoyang. Food is also available.

"Exactly!"

"Hahaha, with the help of Qing Xiang, I am like a tiger with wings, so why worry about the world being unfair?" Li Shimin laughed. During this period of time, the depression of besieging Luoyang and lack of food and grass was completely gone.

After receiving Li Shimin's order, Wang Xuanjing sent someone to bring Yulin Wei. Li Shimin did not take away the military power of Yu Linwei, and still let Wang Xuanjing take command.

Immediately ordered to kill pigs and sheep to reward the three armies, and prepare to attack Luoyang tomorrow.

In the tent, Wang Xuanjing said to Li Shimin: "Luoyang City is high and deep. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses. I have a strategy that may help King Qin defeat the enemy."

"I wonder if the prince has any good ideas? Please tell me quickly!" Li Shimin asked. "Wang Shichong acted rebelliously in Luoyang City, massacred officials, and threatened the people with the joint sitting system. Now the people's hearts have been lost. As long as one person acts righteously, everyone will follow and Wang Shichong will be defeated." Wang Xuanjing said.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Does the prince have a way to contact people in the city?"

"I traveled around the world with my eldest brother before. I once went to Wagang Village and had an old relationship with Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji. Later, Li Mi killed Zhai Rang and was defeated by Wang Shichong. Shan Xiongxin was captured and surrendered to Wang Shichong, but Wang Shichong I don’t trust him. If King Qin can trust him, I will send someone to contact him immediately.”

Li Shimin immediately said: "My lord, just go ahead and do it. If Shan Xiongxin is willing to surrender, I will not treat him badly!"

Wang Xuanjing immediately left the commander's tent, and then arranged for people to enter Luoyang to contact Shan Xiongxin.

Luoyang was the former capital of the Daqian Kingdom, and the Wang family had always had people lurking in it. Even though it later shrunk its strength, after the Wang family decided to return to the Central Plains, they once again sent secret guards to lurk in Luoyang.

Although Wang Shichong had an army of 100,000 to guard Luoyang, the city of Luoyang was too big and even 100,000 people could not defend all parts of Luoyang. There were always some loopholes that could be passed through.

Wang Xuanjing sent his men to enter Luoyang City at night, and then led by secret guards to Shan Xiongxin's mansion.

When Shan Xiongxin came to Luoyang, the Wang family's secret guards came to contact him. Shan Xiongxin also distrusted Wang Shichong and felt that he did not have the appearance of a master and was a treacherous villain. It was precisely because of the Wang family's agreement that he Only then did he temporarily stay under his command.

Shan Xiongxin had just finished dinner that day and was about to take people to patrol the camp. Suddenly he heard someone knocking on the door and quickly opened the door.

"How is General Shan?" The man saluted Shan Xiongxin.

"Brother, he's here, come in quickly!" Shan Xiongxin quickly pulled him in.

"But is the prince ready to take action?" Shan Xiongxin asked.

"General Shan, the prince has arrived in Luoyang and has already discussed it with King Qin. General, just don't worry."

Shan Xiongxin clapped his hands and said: "Great, I have tolerated Wang Shichong for a long time!"

"Without further delay, let's start tonight!"

"General Shan, we have to wait a little longer. I need to go back and recover. If everything goes well, we will start tomorrow night!"

"It's a deal!" Shan Xiongxin said.

"A word is settled!"

The next day, after Wang Xuanjing reported the matter to Li Shimin, Li Shimin immediately agreed, and then the army continued to attack during the day, consuming Wang Shichong's energy.

Wait until night, the sky is dark. God is good, there is no moon tonight, the light is very dim, all the secret guards lurking in Luoyang quietly gathered together.

Shan Xiongxin also gathered his own soldiers. The combined number of both sides was five hundred. The two sides discussed their actions again. When the time came, Shan Xiongxin immediately set off for the city gate.
