There are clouds in the history books, Taiyuan blocks Taihang and Changshan in the east, Mengshan in the west, Huotai Mountain and Gaobiling in the south, and the east and west pass in the north.

With an army of 30,000, Li Chongjiu, who went straight from Yanmen to the Jinzhong Basin, and the important town of Taiyuan County is now in front of him, paving out.

Under the sunset, the turbid waves of the Fen River are discharged into the bank.

In ancient times, the Fenshui water flow was turbulent, far better than today, the flood rolled over, turned to the west, and went straight to Daze Zhao Yuqi.

On the Fen River, three pontoon bridges were erected, and the soldiers of Youzhou rushed to the river like a torrent.

The orderly war cavalry of the government army, the tall and burly heavy cavalry, and the foot soldiers of the government army marching forward on foot, each of them had high morale, and they marched south according to the queue.

"Bring me the map!" Li Chongjiu said in a deep voice.

Immediately, the two guards trotted to the horse's head and unfolded the map, Wen Yanbo, Ji Chuan, Wei Chigong, Wang Mahan and other generals stood beside Li Chongjiu.

"Inghefer, where are they?"

"It's almost time for Zhao Yuqi!" Marching Sima Wen Yanbo said.

On the side, Ji Chuan was not to be left behind, and said: "This year, the weather is dry, and all the miles around Zhaoyu Qi are dry, so there is no need to worry about the muddy water, which slows down the speed of our cavalry's march." ”

Zhaoyu Qi is a large lake in ancient Shanxi, which is equivalent to Yunmeng Lake (i.e., Dongting Lake) and Gu District (Taihu Lake), and in ancient times, Fenshui did not go straight into the Yellow River, but first went to Zhaoyu Qi and then poured into the Yellow River.

When Li Chongjiu heard this, he immediately slid the horsewhip from the top of Lishijun Avenue from left to right, and pointed to a place called Bird Mouse Valley next to Zhaoyu Qi, and asked, "Where is Bird Mouse Valley?" ”

Wen Yanbo on the side is a native of Taiyuan, familiar with the local topography, said: "The Bird Mouse Valley is the place where Hexi to Taiyuan must pass, known as Guanjue Jin in ancient times, this place is close to Zhaoyu Qi, the summer time Xun Ze together, the people would rather avoid thousands of miles, than dare to take this road, although this year is a drought, but this place is also very difficult and difficult to walk. But once this is choked, the road from Hexi to Taiyuan can be cut off. ”

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this: "Last year, Li Yuan broke the old Song Dynasty, so it was here." ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Shanggu Gongmingjian is in the Bird Mouse Valley. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Immediately order Etuo to lead 10,000 troops to the Bird Mouse Valley to block the reinforcements from the west of the Li Tang River." If the enemy army in Xicheng attacks and intercepts, you don't have to pay attention to the repulsion, Ying Hefu, Yan Yelie led 20,000 horsemen, and there is no need to attack the city along the way, and go directly to the city of Jinyang to join our army. ”

"No." Wen Yanbo immediately received the order, and Xue Wanshu, who joined the army in the Assassin's Office, immediately drafted the document on horseback.

After writing, he stamped Li Chongjiu's seal, printed the envelope with fire paint, and then ordered someone to go to Shizhou on a fast horse.

At this time, Ji Chuan said: "Leaving Shijun, Taiyuan has lost the barrier of Luliang Mountain, if the two wings are broken and one wing, there is no Luliang to cover it, but where the well is located, Li Tang still has an army of 30,000 and must be guarded. ”

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Ji Chuan saw that Li Chongjiu didn't care, and immediately said: "Shanggu Gong, Jing Cheng is the descendant of Princess Pingyang, the third daughter of the Tang Emperor, this woman raised 70,000 yuan in Guanzhong, which is the first contribution to breaking Chang'an, and his subordinates Pan Heren, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili, are all brave and good at fighting should not be underestimated. ”

Seeing Ji Chuan say it, all the generals were twisted in their hearts, everyone knew the relationship between Li Chongjiu and Li Zhiwan, but everyone knew it.

At this time, Wen Yanbo said: "Ji Langzhong doesn't have to worry, Shanggu Gong has already contacted Zhao Wanhai, a thief from Hengshan, to advance from the east and attack the east side of Taiyuan County. ”

Zhao Wanhai, everyone was stunned. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Zhao Wanhai raised troops from Hengshan County, gathered more than 100,000 people, and was defeated by Yang Yichen and turned into hibernation. Now that the Sui court has fallen, Zhao Wanhai has risen from Hengshan County again.

Li Chongjiu said: "The county guard of Hengshan County surrendered to Li Tang before, but Zhao Wanhai was not convinced, so he intended to raise troops to seize this county. ”

Listening to Li Chongjiu's words, all the generals were overjoyed, and Zhao Wanhai elbowed Li Sanniang's 30,000 troops. Li Chongjiu's army is just like a bamboo, and it goes straight to Jinyang.

Li Chongjiu said: "Yuci is the key point between Jinyang and Jingcheng, who will be the key to this for me?" ”

Listening to Li Chongjiu's words, Wei Chigong and Wang Mahan came out together, and said: "A certain wish to go." ”

Li Chongjiu saw that the generals were asking for battle, and his fighting spirit was high, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are all my generals, and Yuci is only a county." Don't use an elephant to crack a nut. ”

At this time, a young general stood up and said: "Shanggu Gong, a new recruit to the army, I have not made an inch, and I beg the general to agree to let me go to war." ”

Li Chongjiu looked at it as Ying Yanglang and Xue Wanche, and after the other party finished speaking, Ying Yanglang and Xue Wanjun also said: "Shanggu Gong, so-and-so is the same, please let me be the pioneer." ”

Seeing Xue Wanjun come forward, Xue Wanche said angrily: "Third brother, how can you rob me before?" ”

Xue Wanjun said: "I am the elder brother, where is the reason for the younger brother to be in front." ”

Xue Wanche said: "Where is the difference between the two in front of the army? ”

Seeing the two arguing, Li Chongjiu said, "Don't quarrel." ”

Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were both guilty. Li Chongjiu said: "Listen to me, Yingyanglang General Xue Wanjun, I will give you 3,000 men and horses, plus your headquarters to attack Yuci, after the capture, you must cut off the connection to the east of Jinyang." ”

"No!" Xue Wanjun got Li Chongjiu's consent, and immediately glanced at his younger brother triumphantly, and went down to receive the order.

"Ying Yanglang will Xue Wanjun listen to the order, I will order you to be the vanguard, lead the headquarters to attack Fenyang, and open up the passage for our army to Jinyang."

Fenyang was originally known as Yangqu, and later the Yang family created the Great Sui, with the surname Yang, the name of the evil Yangqu, changed to Yangzhi. In the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, it was changed to Fenyang, and the county was located in Mujing City. Fenyang is the northern passage of Jinyang, once it is breached, there is no danger to defend in the north of Jinyang, and Li Chongjiu's army can go straight to the city of Jinyang.

After hearing that Li Chongjiu had handed over this important task to himself, Xue Wanjun's mood suddenly turned from loss to joy, and he said, "No." ”

At that moment, Xue Wanjun strode down.

Li Chongjiu immediately looked at the generals and continued to issue military orders.

"Hu Benlang will listen to the order, you will lead the men and horses of the headquarters to attack the city, and after breaking the city, come to Jinyang City to learn from me."

"No!"

Wu Gu Nai, who was as burly as an iron tower, hugged his fist heavily in front of Li Chongjiu, and stepped on his Liaodong horse at the moment.

"Hu Benlang will follow Tanzong's orders, you will lead the people of your headquarters to attack Meng County, and after breaking the city, you will come to Jinyang City to learn from me."

"Yes, senior brother."

Tan Zong danced the iron pestle when he was next, and he also took the order to go.

At this time, Wei Chi Gong on the side said: "Shanggu Gong, Jiaocheng, and Mengxian are not such important towns as Fenyang and Yuci, why send troops to attack and divide our army." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "I don't know, it's just that this time I rushed thousands of miles to attack Taiyuan County, and there was also a shortage of food in the army, so I had to divide the troops, plunder the counties, and loot the grain and grass." Otherwise, the army's food and straw will not be enough for ten days. ”

From Yanmen to Taiyuan County, all the way is a rugged mountain road, it is very inconvenient for their own army to transport grain, if it is divided into troops to transport grain, it is necessary to send troops to protect the grain road. Li Chongjiu remembered that in history, Liu Wuzhou was short of military rations, and the grain and grass were robbed by General Li Tang, so he was defeated.

Therefore, Li Chongjiu learned the lesson of Liu Wuzhou, and regarded the attack on Taiyuan, whether it can be successful, grain and grass as the first factor of victory or defeat.

Not only is the cavalry of his own army the fattest and strongest in autumn, but for Taiyuan County, September is also the time of the harvest of wheat and millet, as long as they can eat the enemy, they will not be short of grain.

Therefore, no matter whether it is an infantry army or a horse army, two hemp bags per person when marching has become Li Chongjiu's fixed tactics.

This is also Sun Tzu's art of war, eating the enemy for one minute, and being my twenty bells.

In order to seize grain and grass, Li Chongjiu's main army of 30,000 entered the territory of Taiyuan Mansion, and quickly divided into countless trickles, and swept through all directions.

The 30,000 cavalry on the western front captured Shizhou and also completed the assembly, and the main force of Li Chong's nine-step army in front of it was like two huge crab claws sandwiching Taiyuan in the middle, and it was fierce.

In Jinyang City, Li Tang's troops were not much, and after Li Zhiwan returned to Jingcheng, it was even more difficult to support it with this amount of troops in Jinyang City.

Yin Kaishan, as the head of the Taiyuan Road march, was frowning all day long, and his troops were insufficient, so he could only watch Li Chongjiu's army like locusts crossing the border, ravaging the territory of Taiyuan County.

The autumn crops were ripe outside the city, but there was no way to send people inside the city to harvest them.

And Li Chongjiu's soldiers were like experienced old farmers, going to the fields to harvest wheat.

At the same time, the news of Yuci, Mengxian, Fenyang, and Jiaocheng counties was surrounded and attacked by Li Chongjiu's army.

At the same time, in the direction of the Bird Mouse Valley, Li Chongjiu also sent troops to cut off the reinforcements from the west of the river.

Yin Kaishan wanted to go out of the city to fight, but the disparity between the forces of the two sides was too great, even if Li Chongjiu's soldiers went to the fields to harvest wheat in half, the remaining men and horses were still twice as many as the defenders in Jinyang City.

Seeing Li Chongjiu harvesting grain and grass unscrupulously, all the generals in Taiyuan City couldn't sit down anymore and asked for battle. And Yin Kaishan actually endured his hard work, and was very good, and ordered the city gates to be closed, and before the reinforcements arrived, not to fight.

Li Zhiwan, whom Yin Kaishan is now counting on, is in Jingcheng's 30,000 army, and among the three of them, Guo Ziwu, the assassin of Luzhou, and Liu Gan, the assassin of Haozhou, any of them arrives, and he can launch a counterattack.

But it backfired, and in October, first Meng County, then Yuci, Fenyang, and Jiaocheng cities, lost in turn, and the gate of Taiyuan County was opened.

When Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, heard the news of the loss of the counties on the edge of Jinyang City, he couldn't sit still at this time, and immediately questioned Yin Kaishan, and asked sharply: "As the governor of Taiyuan, why did the enemy army come and not send a single arrow, is this the law to protect the territory and the people for orphans?" ”

Yin Kaishan could only say at the moment: "There is a huge difference between the strength of the enemy and us, and the Li thief has taken the lead again, and now he can only rely on Taiyuan Jiancheng to hold on, if he fights, he will be defeated." ”

Li Yuanji sneered and said: "I have never heard of defending the city and defeating the enemy, I now order you to go out of the city immediately to destroy the enemy!" (To be continued.) )
