Will Ming

Chapter 570

A secret of 20 years ago was sealed in the tin tube. This secret came from the mouth of the dying old Zhen in Li's old house.Even Li Xian was puzzled, how could Li Yuan, a person like Lao Zhen who knew too many secrets, let him survive?Li Xian thought for a long time but didn't get an answer, so he guessed that maybe Li Yuan just wanted someone to share the depression in his heart?

Li Xian also has this feeling, just like the secret he has always kept in his heart, who can he tell?Who would believe that he came from the afterlife?But if one thing has been kept in the heart for too long, people will feel uncomfortable and always want to find someone to share the secret. Maybe Li Yuan left Lao Zhen just to remember that memory?

Li Xian never thinks deeply about problems that he can't figure out. This is a meaningless thing.Instead of having this time to think about these, it is better to think about the next direction.

Li Xian ordered Yuwen Shiji to lead his troops to rush south. Laiyuan, the son of Laihuer, the great general of the Sui Dynasty, is now in Yanyun Village. Laihuer died at the hands of Yu Wenhuaji, so he led his troops to Yanyun Fortress, Li Xian put a lot of emphasis on him.He brought hundreds of warships to the south bank of the Yellow River, and [-] elite navy archers have also been added to Yuwen Shi and the army. People who don't understand war may understand [-] archers as just a number, but Only those who have experienced the war know how terrifying it is.

Originally, because of his father's affairs, he and the Yuwen family had a deep hatred.But towards Yuwen Shiji, there was no way to vent his hatred. When Yu Wenhuaji was defeated by Li Mi, he once turned to Yuwen Shiji for help.Yuwen Shi and his soldiers stood still, which has already shown their attitude.Laiyuan knew that his father's death had nothing to do with Yuwen Shiji. He was not a reckless man, so there was no hostility between the two of them.

People from the Second Division of the Military Inspection Office and the military have been cooperating to develop firearms. Li Xian is not a god. He is just an ordinary person with some modern knowledge. He can't make cannons, let alone airplanes, or even burst into flames. The only thing he can do is to configure more powerful gunpowder. As for how to release the power of this gunpowder, it depends on the craftsmen of the second part.

If there is one place in the Military Audit Office that the military should not be wary of or even loathe, it is the Second Department.The Second Division provides the military with weapons, equipment, and even tactical support. The camp of fire within the camp.

The so-called latest firearms are not muskets, let alone cannons, but powerful explosives suitable for siege.Of course, it is absolutely impossible for this explosive to blow down the tall and majestic city wall of the Eastern Capital, but it is not impossible to blast the city gate after rushing to the bottom of the city.

Yuwen Shiji led his army to the south to compete with Li Shimin's men for the Eastern Capital.

Wang Shichong is just a supporting role of the times, and Dongdu City is his biggest support as a supporting role. Because the city defense is too strong, Dongdu is still standing after the war.With such a high city wall, if the ladder is too long, it will become trembling, and it is extremely inconvenient for soldiers to climb.Not to mention building such a tall siege tower. As for the city gate, in short, no ram has smashed the city gate open until now.

The reason why Wang Shichong sent Duan Da to lead the army to the north was because he was worried that Li Xian's Yan Yun army and Li Shimin's Tang army would join forces, but how could he guess that Li Xian had no intention of joining forces with Li Shimin at all, and his desire for Li Xian in the eastern capital No less than Li Yuan at all, what Yanyun Village lacks now is a majestic city.In the past, it was because he was not sure that he didn't fight Dongdu. Li Mi left hundreds of thousands of corpses outside the city of Dongdu and failed to take down Dongdu.

But this does not mean that Li Xian does not want to fight. From the beginning to the end, Li Xian also hopes that Yanyun Village can have a majestic big city as the foundation. , in order to show the current status of Yanyun Village.

Only by occupying the Eastern Capital will the Li Tang Dynasty be more afraid.If Yanyun Village planted the red military flag on the city wall of the Eastern Capital, it would be like a thorn in Li Yuan's heart.

And what Li Xian had to do was not just to stab Li Yuan's heart once. Of course, if the stab was hard enough, there was no need to stab again.

After defeating Duan Da's men and horses, Li Xian ordered a battalion of soldiers and horses to stay in Liyang's army. Daoying has also been transferred, and what he will do next is not to slander Li Shimin, but to compete with Li Tang Dynasty for the Eastern Capital.

Li Shimin suffered a terrible loss. Three thousand fine cavalry and Duan Da's eight thousand cavalry fought fiercely for a while. Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin led the troops to retreat, and were surrounded by Luan Ping with more than 1000 cavalry. More than [-] cavalry were killed and injured in the Liehuying camp, and they escaped from the siege. The injured Yu Chigong still showed great power and stabbed Luan Ping to death. However, Li Shimin's heart still hurts terribly after killing and wounding so many elite subordinates.

Li Shimin retreated all the way south in a panic, Duan Da, who knew that his infantry had been wiped out, understood that if he wanted to get rid of the crime in front of Wang Shichong, capturing or killing Li Shimin was the only way.So he led more than 5000 cavalry all the way to chase and kill Li Shimin, biting at Li Shimin's back, completely in an attitude of immortality.

The two armies had fought each other for an unknown number of times. When Li Shimin returned to the camp of the Tang Army after all the hardships, there were only less than 600 soldiers left under him in the Liehu Camp, and Duan Da's Zheng Army cavalry also Nearly five thousand were lost.When he arrived outside the Tang army camp, Duan Da could only give up. Worried about Li Shimin's revenge, he immediately fled towards Dongdu with his cavalry.How could Li Shimin, who was aggrieved all the way, let him go back? He mobilized cavalry and let Wang Xuba and Duan Zhixuan each lead five thousand elite horsemen to chase him wildly all the way.

The chasing and chasing parties switched positions, and Duan Dazhi was more than twice as embarrassed as Li Shimin.

His 300 cavalrymen ran and fought, and there were less than [-] before they arrived in Dongdu.

When he saw a company camp outside the city of Dongdu, he immediately became desperate.

On the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, because of the small progress this year, there is no New Year's Eve, and the 29th of the twelfth lunar month is thirty, so there are only four days left before the New Year's Eve.The Lei Ze Camp and Navy Division of the Yan Yun Army have a total of more than 6 horses, Wu Tianxi Lie Huo Camp has more than 3 people, Wu Yunzhao Ruijin Camp has more than 3 people, and Li Xian's personal guard camp with 2 people will surround Dongdu. Duan Da wanted to go to the city but had no chance.

……

……

Wang Shichong asked Duan Da to lead 15 troops to fight against Yanyun's army, and personally led more than [-] troops to fight against Li and Tang's army.However, he was defeated by Li Jing's army outside the eastern capital, and the main force of Zheng's army was defeated. Li Jing took the opportunity to lead his army to approach the eastern capital.Just when Li Jing's [-] troops were about to reach the outside of the Eastern Capital, they were stopped by a group of people killed from a diagonal stab. It was Lei Zeying of Yuwen Shiji.

Li Jing was about to surround the Eastern Capital City but was blocked, so the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart can be imagined.But because of the ambiguous relationship between Yanyun Village and the Tang Empire, Li Jing didn't dare to attack directly.Besides, Yuwen Shiji is a famous general in the world, if he only sticks to the defense line, even if he breaks through, he will suffer heavy losses.In the short few days after Li Shimin's return, Yan Yun's army increased troops one after another, completely blocking the Eastern Capital City behind them, as if they were helping Wang Shichong.

Li Jing sent someone to question Yuwen Shiji, and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty entered the camp of the Yanyun Army to find Yuwen Shiji, and questioned Yuwen Shiji in the tone of Li Shimin, Qin Wang Li Shimin, the Great Marshal of the East Conquest, why he blocked the Great Tang's Eastern Expedition Army.Yuwen Shiji's mouth was like a poisonous snake, and he made the messenger speechless with only a few words.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked my lord to hunt down Wang Shichong in Dongdu. Why didn't the emperor tell His Royal Highness King Qin? If the King of Qin knew about it, then why do you ask me? Could it be that I made a mistake in sending troops to Yanyun Village? If this is the case, in front of King Yan, I think it is difficult for your master, King Qin, to explain it."

Saying such shameless words made it impossible for the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to refute.I had no choice but to go back to Li Jing with these words to return his order. If Li Jing was the Generalissimo of this Eastern Expedition, I am afraid that he would really order the army to fight over.But he is not, this time the leader is Qin Wang Li Shimin, he is just the commander of the army, although he has great power, he dare not easily provoke a war with Yanyun Village.

He is Li Shimin's confidant, so he naturally knows about Li Xian's life experience.It was precisely because of this that he felt helpless. With 15 troops stationed here, he could already see the majestic Eastern Capital from a distance, but he couldn't send troops.Fortunately, the king of Qin came back unharmed, so it was up to the king of Qin to worry about this worrying matter.

Yanyun's army of 10,000+ gathered in the eastern capital, comparable in strength to Li Tang's army.In order to form this stalemate, Li Xian even mobilized most of the troops other than Xu Shiji's.Put on a posture that the East Capital is inevitable, not to mention Li Jing, Li Shimin, even Li Yuan will have a headache when he comes.

But at this time, Li Huining came.

Seeing that the two sides were at war, Li Huining knew that Li Shimin's cold and gloomy character was afraid that he would order an attack, so he first went to the Tang army camp to find Li Shimin, and told him what Li Yuan had said.Li Shimin was annoyed, and when he heard that the emperor wanted to explain that matter to Li Xian, he felt even more annoyed.Li Xian held the handle of killing his grandson Shunde, how to reassure him?Once Li Xian's identity is determined by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he will undoubtedly be cornered.

And it's not just this move that Li Xian wants to force him, even Li Shimin never thought that he would be forced by him to take the most direct and bloody path, of course, this will be a later thing.

Li Huining looked at Li Shimin, who had an extremely ugly face, and sighed softly when he saw the anger in the shock on his face.

"Father thought you knew."

Li Huining looked at him and said.

To Li Shimin, it was not easy for Li Huining to remain calm and indifferent.After all, mother
