Li Yuanji's impassioned words immediately made Li Yuanlong's face happy.

Li Yuan looked at Qu Tutong and asked, "I want you to go east to Luoyang now, but your two sons are hostage to Luoyang by Wang Shichong, what can I do?" ”

Qu Tutong hugged his fists and said: "His Majesty should have died as a prisoner in the past, but His Majesty did not give up, not only relieved, but also gave him a gift. At that time, the ministers swore in their hearts that they would spend the rest of their lives as His Majesty. Now that he can pioneer and break the thief, how can the two sons care! ”

Li Yuan heard the words and exclaimed: "Qing Zhen is a person who sacrifices his life for righteousness. ”

With the deliberation of the generals, the thunderstorm outside the hall gradually stopped, and the hall was quiet.

Li Yuan strode into the hall, and his footsteps were clear.

Li Yuan suddenly said, "Prince." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "No." ”

Li Yuan said: "The Turks are a problem for the henchmen, and they must not be guarded against. You led your army across Pujin and stationed here to protect the north side of Chang'an. ”

Li Jiancheng was ordered to retreat, Pujin is separated from Chang'an by a river, and he can return at any time, and he can lead the troops in hand. Li Jiancheng readily agreed.

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin at the moment and said, "King Qin, King Qi." ”

Li Shimin and Li Yuanji stepped forward with their fists clenched. Li Yuan said: "King Qin is the commander, King Qi is the deputy general, Qu Tutong, the head of the march of East Shaanxi Road, Liu Dewei, the head of the march of Luzhou Road, Liu Hongji, the head of the march of Shaanzhou Road, Shi Wanbao, the head of the march of Xiongzhou, Huang Junhan, the head of Huaizhou, Sheng Yanshi, the head of Songzhou, Chai Shao, the head of the march of Jingzhou Road, and Liu Shi, the head of the march of Anzhou Road, let the east go out of Tongguan and cut down Zheng!" ”

Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and the generals agreed together.

After speaking, Li Yuan handed over the sword in his hand to Li Shimin, and said solemnly: "Dingding the world." In this battle, I will entrust you with it. ”

Li Shimin lowered his head and said, "Father." The sons will not fail in their mission. ”

The matter of Li Tang's war against Zheng has been decided. October of the third year of Wude. Li Yuan sent Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the main general, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, as the deputy general, and led Qu Tutong, Chai Shao and other eight general managers, twenty-five generals, a total of 600,000 soldiers, and went east to Tongguan to attack Zheng.

As soon as the news of Li Tang's conquest of Zheng Guo came out, it immediately reached the ears of Wang Shichong in Luoyang. At this moment, Wang Shichong, who is already the emperor, is in the Luoyang Palace. Convene the generals to take counsel.

Wang Shichong said: "Li Tang came to attack me, I am not surprised at all, since I defeated Li Mi, I have been waiting for the day of decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty, and now I have finally waited for this opportunity." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Shichong said: "This battle is related to the life and death of Zheng and Tang, so I decided to gather the brave and warlike soldiers in Zhuzhou Town to Luoyang and set up four town generals. Recruit troops to defend the four cities of Luoyang. King Wang Shiyun of Qi guarded the southern city, King Wang Shiwei of Chu guarded the treasure city, the crown prince Wang Xuanying guarded the eastern city, and Wang Xuanshu, the king of Han, guarded Hanjia City. King Lu guarded Yaoyi City. In addition to Luoyang, several important places should also be guarded by generals, and Wang Honglie, the king of Wei, was in Xiangyang. King Jing Wang Xing Zhen Tiger Prison, Song King King Qin Zhen Huaizhou. ”

The generals were all expressionless when they heard this. In the four cities of Luoyang, Wang Shichong is all appointed as the children of the Wang family. Such as Wang Shiwei, the king of Chu. Wang Shiyun, the king of Qi, are both Wang Shichong's brothers, Wang Xuanying, and Wang Xuanshu are Wang Shichong's eldest and second sons. As for King Lu Wang Daozhu, King Wang Honglie of Wei, King Xingben of Jing, and King Qin of Song are all nephews of Wang Shichong.

Wang Shichong seems to be nepotism, but now Wang Shichong has fallen into a situation of betrayal and separation, and the generals, officials, and the people cannot be trusted, and they have rebelled against Zheng and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, so he can only use the children of the Wang family to control the military power.

Wang Shichong continued: "I take the soldiers as the elite and defend myself in Luoyang, the left auxiliary general Yang Gongqing commands the cavalry of the 28th province of the left Longxiang, the right guerrilla general Guo Shancai commands the infantry of the 28th province of the internal army, and the left guerrilla general Baye Gang commands the infantry of the 28th province of the foreign army, with a total of 30,000 horses, in preparation for a battle with the Tang army. Do you have any objections to my arrangement? ”

Bing Yuanzhen, a servant of Huazhou Xingtai, said: "Although Luoyang is in danger of being in danger, it is only a few hundred miles, the fields are thin, and the enemy is surrounded by enemies, so it is not a country that uses force. At present, the Tang army is attacking in a big way, and if our army does not go to war and closes its doors, it will be broken by the Tang army. ”

Wang Shichong nodded and said, "I also have this intention, and I am arranging a plan for a rainy day." ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "Your Majesty, the Tang Army is now powerful, Li Shimin is a famous general, and the elite soldiers of the Guanzhong Mansion are the best in the world, why not ask for reinforcements from outside?" ”

Before Wang Shichong could speak, Du Yanyan, the secretary of the ministry, said: "His Majesty has asked the Turks for help, and the Turks will attack Li Tang Hexi, thinking that they will be aided. ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "Although the Turks are strong and strong, they can't solve the fire from afar. ”

Wang Shichong asked, "What is the general's opinion?" ”

Shan Xiong said: "Looking at the heroes of the world, now Du Fuwei has descended to Li Tang, and he can draw troops to the north at any time to attack Li Tang from east to west, Wang Bo is weak and snakes and rats at both ends, he cannot be trusted, and Yu Culture and himself are difficult to protect." When today, only Lord Zhao has the spare strength to help me fight with Li Yuan. Why don't you send an eloquent envoy to Zhao? ”

Shan Xiongxin's words made the generals Zheng Jun present echo one after another.

Situ Duan said: "Lord Zhao broke Liu Heimin, and the momentum is booming. ”

The chief Sun An Shiyan of the internal history ordered: "At present, Lord Zhao is leading more than 100,000 troops to Liyang and watching the troops in Zhaozhou, not with the intention of crossing the river in the south. ”

Wang Shichong's audience will discuss, pat his legs and say: "Does the general think I am unwilling? In the previous paragraph, I ordered Xue Qing to make Zhao, but Li Chongjiu didn't allow it, and he also abducted me Qin and Luo, and I can't swallow this breath until now. ”

Yang Gongqing clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty is a person who does great things, how can you stick to past grievances? At present, no matter what the battle with Li Tang is, what the outcome is, it is imperative to ask for reinforcements from Hebei. ”

"What's more, at this time and that time, you must know that Li Yuan, an old thief, has won Longlong and Wangshu, this time he has a big attack on Zheng, if he is given a level of Zheng, he will definitely kill Zhao, Lord Zhao is a hero-like figure, how can he not see through this?"

Bing Yuan said truthfully: "It's just that I'm afraid that Li Chongjiu is attacking Liu Heimin now, and it's true that he has no time to come to Zheng's aid, but in any case, it's good to probe his tone." ”

Wang Shichong pinched his beard and said: "Bing, Shan, Yang three Aiqing, what you said is reasonable, since this is the case, I will send someone to Zhao and Du Aiqing, this time you will go for me." ”

Du Yan, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Your Majesty, although Weichen is not as good as Su Qin and Zhang Yi, he must do his best." ”

On that day, the official department Shangshu Du Yan, with a generous gift, took a naval warship from Heyang, went down the Yellow River, and when he arrived at Liyangdu, he heard that Li Chongjiu was in Daimyo, and then rushed to Daimyo.

Du Yan shouldered the mission, did not dare to slack off, all the way in a hurry after the Daimyo landed, learned that the Zhao army had come out of the Daimyo and was going to attack the Xia army Handan City, Li Chongjiu personally led the army to conquer.

At that moment, Du Yan chased straight to the back of Zhao Junxing's camp and met Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu was dressed in a seat, and when he heard that Zheng Guo's envoy was coming, even if he didn't have to think about it, he knew what the other party was looking for him for at this time.

In the army, Xue Wan said: "Zheng Guo's envoy must be to ask for reinforcements for Wang Shichong. At present, Liu Heimin has not been broken, where does our army have the spare strength to aid Zheng. ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "Our army is temporarily powerless to aid Zheng, but we must also make friends with one or two to strengthen Wang Shichong's heart to resist the Tang Dynasty." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Just announce that the envoy of Zheng Guo will enter." ”

Soon after, Du Yan went to the camp to pay a visit.

Du Yan walked into the camp of the Zhao army, this person still has a lot of background, the other party is the son of the Guanzhong lord Jingzhao Du, the ancestor is not Ren Assassin Shi, that is, the county guard, and at the same time Du Ruhui's uncle. When this person was young, he once said that the Son of Heaven is easy to use as a hermit, and it is better to hide it in Taibai Mountain. So he lived in seclusion, and Emperor Wen of Sui was furious when he heard about it, and exiled him to Jiangnan, and Emperor Wen of Sui only entered the court as an official after his death.

And Du Yan, who pretended to be a failure, also learned a lesson, no longer pretended to be forced, and greeted Li Chongjiu very respectfully, and said: "Now there is a big chaos today, Tang has Guanxi, Zheng has Henan, and Zhao has Hebei, and they have become a full trend. If you use the ancient metaphor to the present, Li Tang is the strongest, comparable to Cao Wei, Zheng Guo can be compared to Eastern Wu, Zhao State can be compared to Western Shu, now Tang raised troops to Zheng, Tang army is strong, and Zheng State is difficult to have a place to turn, soldiers and horses are not as good as Tang army, the situation is difficult. ”

"Tang is strong and Zheng is weak, and he is bound to be unsupported. If Zheng dies, Zhao cannot be independent. It is better to make an alliance between the two families, form a state of brothers, save it by soldiers, Zhao attacks outside, Zheng attacks inside, and Tang will be broken. ”

Du Yan's rhetoric has been brewing for a long time, comparing the current shape of the world to the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, and imploring Li Chongjiu to resist the Tang Dynasty and aid Zheng.

Li Chongjiu pondered for a while when he heard this, and asked, "I don't know how Lord Zheng will arrange to deal with Li Shimin?" ”

Du Yan did not hide it, and said: "The elite soldiers will be stationed in Luoyang, and the outside will guard Xiangyang, Tiger Prison, and Huaizhou." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, and said: "Lord Zheng and Li Mi have been fighting in Luoyang for many years, and if they really know how to strategize, although this is not the best strategy, it is also the best strategy for Lord Zheng to deal with it at the moment." ”

Li Chongjiu's best policy was not in Luoyang, but the enemy was looking for a decisive battle around Luoyang, but Wang Shichong, the old man, took the position as a warlord, and killed the emperor again, so that the surrounding officials and generals all wanted to abandon Zheng and defect to Li Tang, so Wang Shichong could not trust the generals with different surnames, so he had to hand over the military power to a few relatives.

After that, Wang Shichong prepared to concentrate his elite troops to fight a decisive battle with Li Tang, and it was best to win, and if he couldn't win, he would retreat to Luoyang Jiancheng, follow the example of fighting with Li Mi back then, and use Luoyang City to fight Li Tang to the death. But with a lonely city, it was categorically unable to defend itself, so Wang Shichong implemented key defenses around the periphery.

Xiangyang City, which is related to the north and south, can also unite with Liang Wang Xiao Milling.

Tiger Prison, needless to mention, connects Songyue in the south and the Yellow River in the north, which is the passage of Luoyang through Henan and Shandong in the east, and is also an important gateway.

Huaizhou, on the other hand, is Wang Shichong's only stronghold in Hebei, protecting Heyang and stopping the Tang army, and wants to go straight down the Yellow River to attack Wang Shichong's rear.

Du Yan heard Li Chongjiu's praise of Wang Shichong, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and said: "Then can King Zhao immediately send troops to aid Zheng?" ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Don't be impatient, if you want me to send troops to aid Zheng, then Lord Zheng needs to agree to the three conditions of Lonely." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
