Li Shimin sowed discord, and the Later Sui Emperor Yang Zhengdao was angry in his heart.

However, although he was angry, he was able to calm down quickly, and then looked at Li Shimin and said: "If you say stealing the country, your Li family is the real thief of the country, my Sui Dynasty has great rivers and mountains, and almost all of them fall into the hands of your Li family. ”

Yang Zhengdao's age is not much different from Li Shimin, and he is also majestic and heroic at this time, after the two scolded each other like this, Liang Shi shouted: "What nonsense to talk to this Tang Tong, just take Luzhou City directly." ”

Yang Zhengdao's expression moved slightly, and then, he and Liang Shidu gave orders together, and then, the Liang army and the Later Sui soldiers and horses swarmed towards Luzhou City.

Li Shimin here has already made preparations.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The rain of sharp arrows temporarily suppressed the soldiers and horses under the city, but soon, Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao also ordered the archers to prepare and cover their men to attack the city.

The two sides exchanged sharp arrows, and the Liang army and the Later Sui soldiers and horses soon came to the city, and then began to set up ladders to attack the city.

On the Tang army's side, they were not afraid, and the rolling stones and horizontal logs were thrown downward, and the enemies who smashed them wailed.

After the battle lasted for an hour, it was getting late, and although there were casualties on both sides, the city of Luzhou was still impregnable.

Yang Zhengdao saw that his soldiers and horses suffered a lot of casualties, so he said to Liang Shidu: "Mingjin should collect the troops." ”

Liang Shi was interested in quickly recovering Luzhou City, but he didn't want to collect his troops so early, but in this case, if he didn't collect his troops, he was afraid that he would offend Yang Zhengdao.

If Yang Zhengdao led his troops away, it would be more difficult for him to recapture Luzhou City.

Thinking of this, Liang Shidu could only nod: "Mingjin withdraws his troops." ”

The soldiers and horses of the two countries retreated from the city of Luzhou, and at this time, the sunset had already set, and the cicadas in the distance suddenly became noisy.

Li Shimin looked at the retreating enemy troops, but he did not have the slightest relaxed look, because he knew that this was just the beginning.

The soldiers and horses of the two countries camped in Wuli outside the city of Luzhou, and as soon as they settled each other's soldiers and horses, Yang Zhengdao came directly to Liang Shidu to discuss the situation.

"Emperor Liang, although we have 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is not easy to easily capture Luzhou City, and it will even be slowly consumed by Li Shimin.

Yang Zhengdao didn't want his soldiers and horses to work too hard, after all, he captured Luzhou City, which was also captured by Liang Shidu.

Liang Shidu was here, and he also wanted to capture Luzhou City as soon as possible, so he didn't think too much about it, and directly agreed, and then issued an edict, ordering the officials of the capital to gather soldiers and horses and come to break the city together.

As soon as the two of them said this, a spy hurriedly came to report: "Emperor Sui, the big thing is not good, the Tang army of 3,000 soldiers and horses captured Yunzhou City." ”

"What?" Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao were both shocked at the same time.

If Li Shimin's 7,000 soldiers and horses captured Luzhou City, they would not think it was strange, after all, Li Shimin was known for his strategy, and his soldiers and horses were very strong.

But there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses attacking Yunzhou City, but there were 5,000 Sui soldiers in Yunzhou City, and they couldn't figure out how the Tang army did this.

Yang Zhengdao's face turned blue, and he bit his lip and asked, "Who is the Tang general who leads the troops?" ”

"It's a captain named Qin Tian."

"Actually, it's just a school captain?" Yang Zhengdao was shocked again, a small eight-rank lieutenant used 3,000 soldiers and horses to capture his Yunzhou City, which is simply a shame.

"Damn, I want to go back and destroy this Tang army." Yang Zhengdao wanted to lead the troops back, but Liang Shidu's heart sank, and he hurriedly persuaded: "Emperor Sui, you can't, my two armies are too scattered, but they are easy to be broken by the Tang army one by one, then Qin Tian is just a small captain, don't worry, as long as you kill Li Shimin, everything will be solved." ”

At this time, the spy also said: "Your Majesty, after Qin Tian captured Yunzhou City, he did not defend Yunzhou, but led his troops to the direction of Luzhou, thinking that he wanted to rescue Li Shimin." ”

Hearing this, Yang Zhengdao was not in a hurry to go back, the Tang Army in Yunzhou City didn't want it, it was still his, and Qin Tian gave up the city and rushed here, which saved him the trouble of attacking the city.

It is much more convenient to deal with him here than in Yunzhou City.

"Okay, it's good to come, I want that Qin Tian to look good, and I will order to go down and block the news of the destruction of Yunzhou City, so that the Tang army in the city can't get a trace of the situation."

Yang Zhengdao knew that if Li Shimin learned that Qin Tian had captured Yunzhou City, then Li Shimin and the other Tang troops would definitely have hope, and once people had hope, they would have the courage to hold on.

But he was going to break Li Shimin's hopes.

"Whoa!"

On the side of Luzhou City, the situation is in crisis.

Lingzhou.

After Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao's 20,000 soldiers and horses retreated, news soon spread to the military camp where the crown prince Li Jiancheng was.

After Li Ji heard the news, his expression suddenly sank, and he secretly said that it was not good.

If the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Liang and Hou Sui are here, although they are a little hard, they will not be wiped out, but if they draw troops to help, they will definitely besiege Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is just a little bit of soldiers and horses, but he is afraid that the situation is not good.

After thinking of this, Li Ji immediately went to see the crown prince Li Jiancheng, in his opinion, if he wants to solve Li Shimin's dilemma now, the only way is to repel the Turkic soldiers and horses as soon as possible.

And just when Li Ji was about to go to see the crown prince Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng had already gotten the news here.

"Okay, the soldiers and horses of Liang and Hou Sui have retreated, and we can concentrate our forces and destroy the Turks in one fell swoop."

Li Jiancheng was very excited, but at this time, Song Gongqing suddenly waved his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the time has not yet come to attack the Turks, so it's better to wait." ”

"What are you waiting for, the soldiers and horses are gathered, our Tang army has the strength to fight with the Turks."

Song Gongqing shook his head: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the two soldiers and horses of Liang and Hou Sui are going to besiege the King of Qin, our side has broken the Turks, and Liang and Hou Sui are afraid that they can only be people with their tails between their legs." ”

Song Gongqing nodded slightly, and the crown prince Li Jiancheng suddenly came to his senses, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Song is still thoughtful, and it is reasonable, now is indeed not the time to attack the Turks, you might as well wait." ”

Song Gongqing smiled.

And at this time, a guard came to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Britain has gone to ask for a meeting." ”

Hearing that Li Ji came to see him, Li Jiancheng showed a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and after he and Song Gongqing glanced at each other, they immediately ordered: "Let him in." ”

"Whoa!"

The guards were ordered to retreat, and after a short time, Li Ji was brought in.
