Unofficial History of the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 10

It was the autumn and July of the year when Tang soldiers defeated Song Laosheng. Li Yuan took his son Yuanji as Taiyuan prefect and stayed in Jinyang Palace.Leaving Jinyang, I looked west and set out, but I saw flags covering the field, swords and halberds flying across the sky, people like tigers, and horses flying dragons.The sentry horses kept coming and going and reported to Chang'an.Wang You of the Sui Dynasty sent Huya General Song Laosheng to lead [-] elite soldiers to Huoyi, and General Qu Tutong led [-] troops to Hedong.It was raining for a long time and the ground was overflowing with water, so the soldiers could not advance. Liu Wenjing said: "It is raining today, and the army has no fighting spirit. It is better to camp the Lingshi for the time being and wait for the weather. First, let someone write a letter to Li Mi, instead of Forge a good relationship, explore its reality, and make the other person at ease, and I can use my means, this is a perfect strategy." Yuanxi, that is, to recruit secrets with books.It turned out that Li Mi relied on his military strength and wanted to be the leader of the alliance, so he sent General Zhang Ren to write a letter to Yu Yuan.Yuan Zhefeng looked at it, and the book said: Mitton's head bowed to the general's brother again: Fu Nian's Sui Dynasty was unfortunate, but he was stood up by the heroes;Deceive the king without superiors, form cliques and groups, and all people in the world want to eat their flesh.It is very reasonable for my dear brother to fight against the thieves with righteousness and to secure the Sui Dynasty.Welcoming the new monarch, so as to become the emperor, is not the only honor.The world is not the world of one person, but the world of the people in the world, and everyone can get it and be the king.Brother, if you plan to go west and enter the customs, you can use thousands of horses and horses to form an alliance with Hanoi, but I have no reason not to follow.Wouldn't it be great if I looked forward to mentioning the left and right words, working together, holding my son and baby in Xianyang, and killing Shang Xin in Muye.The book is not exhaustive, but Fu Wei observes it.

After reading the book, Yuan Yuan laughed and said: "Li Mi is arrogant and self-important; it cannot be reduced. If we have something to do with China, if we kill it suddenly, we will regenerate an enemy. It is better to resign and reject the award, so as to make him proud of his ambition. For me to block the way to Chenggao, to suppress the soldiers of the eastern capital, I have to concentrate on the westward expedition. Waiting for Guanzhong to settle down, according to its dangers, cultivate its vigor, Xu observe the trend of clams and snipe, and harvest the merits of fishermen, it is not too late Yes." Everyone agreed, so they ordered Ji Wenwen Daya to write a book to restore the secret.The secret book was opened and read. The book said: "Yuan Dunshou pays homage to Wei Gongxian's younger brother again: born to rule the people, there must be a minister, and now he is a shepherd, not a son."The old man is old enough to know his destiny, and he would like to be less than this. He admires his elder brother, climbs his scales and attaches his wings, and has long been engraved with pictures and scriptures, so as to Ning Zhaomin.

The leader of the clan alliance, for the sake of his nationality, is attached to the Tang Dynasty, Sirong is enough.Shu Shangxin was in Muye, and he couldn't bear to say it; he held his son and baby in Xianyang, but he didn't dare to hear his fate.Around Fen and Jin Dynasties, there is still a need for a compilation, and the meeting of the League and Tianjin is not yet scheduled.

Li Mi was very happy after reading it, and wrote a letter to his assistant, saying: "The Duke of Tang sees that the world is not settled." Fang Yanzao said: "Yuan has great talents, and he is very popular with the people. His son Shimin is the same as Liu Hongji and Yin Yinzao. The generals who opened the mountain are all enemies of thousands of people, and it is not because they are subordinates. Seeing Tui today, the other side intends to pass in the middle, fearing that our soldiers will attack them later and make them enemies, so they are so modest, why didn't Minggong notice it?" Mi said: "Although I'm pretending to be a favor, how can I refuse so modestly?

"Since the messengers keep coming and going. Li Quan's poem says: Li Mijin praised Shima Qiang, how can he be wise and superior like the great ancestor.

This time, the early construction of the westward plan made the Sui Dynasty belong to the Tang Dynasty.

That day, Tang soldiers were blocked by Lingshi and could not move forward.It rained for a long time, the army ran out of food, or it was rumored that the Turks and Liu Wu and Zhou Chengxu invaded Jinyang, and everyone in Yuanji could not defend.When Yuan heard about it, he was startled and said, "What can I do like this? If there are soldiers in Wu Zhou, he will be completely useless, and he will be able to stand on his own.

It's better to return the teacher to the north, and use a slow plan to plan it. "Pei Ji said: "I think the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty are still strong, but it is not easy to die.Li Mi's treachery is unpredictable, Wu Zhou is only interested in profit, so it is better to save the root, and even plan to move later. " Shimin said: "Now the bean is wild, why worry about no food.The old man is mild and impatient, and he can be captured in one battle.Li Mi cared about Cangsu, but failed to achieve a long-term plan; Liu Wuzhou and the Turks were attached to each other, but they guessed the truth inside.Although Wu Zhou wanted to benefit Taiyuan from afar, how could he forget about Mayi?I am devoted to great righteousness, risking my life to save the common people, to be the ancestor of Xianyang, and to command the world.I just met a small enemy today, so I want to be a teacher, fearing that the followers of righteousness will disintegrate in one day.Today, if you still guard the land of Taiyuan, you are the ears of thieves. How can you be self-sufficient? Jian Jiancheng said: "The words of the people of the world are very reasonable, and adults can follow them." "

Yuan didn't listen, and urged the sergeant to pack up and go.The people of the world will return to admonishment, just as it is getting dark and Yuan has gone to bed.The people of the world are not allowed to enter the account, but cry outside the military gate and hear in the account.

Yuan Zhao asked, and the people of the world said: "When the soldiers advance, they will be restrained, and if they retreat, they will disperse. The crowd will disperse in front, and the enemy will take advantage of the rear, and they will die for five days. Why not be sad!" Yuan Naiwu said: "The army has been sent back. What?

Shimin said: "The right army is strict but has not yet launched, and the left army is not far away. Please chase after yourself." Yuan laughed and said, "My success or failure depends on you, but what you do." "The people of the world and Jian Jian parted ways and chased him at night. When they reached the Lingshi, the sky was already bright, and the grain shipped from Taiyuan came one after another. The people of the world were overjoyed and said, "God bless me too!"Don't enter at this time, let alone wait for another day.

" Jiancheng said: "Everyone needs the right time to do something.Now the soldiers are suffering from the long rain, and the luggage is all wet, so they can move to the mountain in front of them, and Xu Tu will make progress. Shimin said: "No, if you move the village, the thieves will clash and fight to the death."This rain will clear up in a few days, and if it clears up and attack it vigorously, you can catch it alive. "So he immediately asked Yuan to send orders to the army to pack up and head towards Huoyi.

But he said that the army marched for several days, and it was raining and sunny.Song Laosheng closed the city of Huoyi and did not come out. After the completion of the construction, Shimin led thousands of elite men to the city, and the golden drums blared and shouted loudly.

Immediately, the people of the world held their guns and raised their whips to point at them, as if they were besieging the city.Niu Rujin, the old man, came in angrily and said, "It's cowardly for Tang soldiers to come to the city and not fight. I would like to borrow five hundred soldiers, and I will fight to the death." The old man followed him and ordered Rujin to go out of the city to meet the enemy.The two Chen opponents, Ru Jin and Yin Kaishan will fight four or five times, and Kaishan is defeated.For example, Jin led five hundred troops into the formation, and was built to refer to five thousand soldiers, surrounded like gold in the formation, and conflicted left and right, which could not be drawn.When the old man saw gold trapped in the heart of Gai in the city, Huang sent his left and right to prepare horses, led five hundred strong men out of the city, took the lead on the horses, and fought hard to enter the Tang formation.The eldest grandson Shunde greeted him, but he couldn't go face to face. The old man went to Gaixin, rescued Rujin, took advantage of the situation and shouted at the soldiers: "If you don't kill now, when will you wait!"

Suddenly there was a loud shout, and a group of men and horses came to kill from the east, thinking that it was completed.The old man went to the east to meet the enemy, and after a few battles with Jiancheng, Chai Shao came from the south.Lao Sheng abandoned Jian Jian and fought with Chai Shao.Jiancheng then came, Rujin drew his bow and shot an arrow from behind the formation, and shot the horse's foot, throwing Jiancheng off the horse.Ru Jin ran forward with a knife and stabbed, Yin Kaishan rushed to him and shouted loudly, when Ru Jin saw it, he was caught off guard, Yin Kaishan chopped him in two, saved him and returned to the battle.When the old man saw that killing a cow was like gold, his sword skills became chaotic, and he was defeated and left.Chai Shao pursued him, and after more than twenty li, Shimin and Duan Zhixuan, the leader of the army, rushed down from Nanyuan and blocked their way.

The old man had no idea how to advance or retreat, so he dismounted his horse and threw himself into the ditch. Liu Hongji captured and beheaded him, and then conquered Huoyi.

When Yuan came out to comfort the people, he wanted to set off.I don't know where to start from, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.

The general critic: Yuan used books to recruit secrets, and he wanted to show his own means, so he first ordered him to calm his ears.The dense book says: The world is not ruled by one person, and its arrogance can be seen.Although Tang Gong sees it and pushes it, will the world return immediately?Once the old man breaks through, Huo Yi is not difficult to overcome.
