Chapter 171: Wang Shichong 1

Li Jing was tied up and brought to Li Yuan by Wuhua Da, Li Yuan said to Li Jing: "I warmly entertained you when I was in Jinyang, but you secretly came to Chang'an to denounce me, fortunately, Wei Wensheng, a fool, didn't listen to you, and now you have nothing to say when you cut off your head, right?"

Li Jing raised his head and replied: "Since you raised troops to conquer the world, I am a good general, why do you want to kill me?"

"Hehehe, you kid really think you're Yang Su? Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Shimin, who was on the side, hurriedly stopped, and now it will be troublesome to slaughter Li Jing, under Li Shimin's bitter pleading, Li Yuan reluctantly let Li Jing go, Li Shimin knew that Li Jing would be in danger at any time, so he had to settle Li Jing in his own barracks.

Due to Li Yuan's large opening of the granary to release grain, a large number of officials and people from all over the country poured in, Li Yuan sent generals to collect stragglers and form an army, preparing to besiege Chang'an. Li Yuan arrived outside Chang'an City, and at this time, there were 200,000 troops attached to Li Yuan, and they arrived at Chang'an City one after another. Wei Wensheng didn't expect that Li Yuan would not only fly over Hedong Qututong, but also have a way to gather such a huge crowd, looking at the large area of black pressure outside Chang'an City, Wei Wensheng was full of hatred, and suddenly his anger and brain rushed to the blood, and he fell to the ground with a stroke.

No one in Chang'an City knew how to deal with the situation, and they held meetings all day to discuss and could not make decisions. Li Yuan ordered the siege of the city, and in the chaos of the crowd, the Red Whisk Girl could not find Li Jing, and finally finally found out that Li Jing was in Li Shimin's camp, so the Red Whisk Girl hurried to Li Shimin's camp to join the army.

Li Yuan's luck is very good, as long as Wei Wensheng does not fall ill and Chang'an City can hold on for a while longer, it will definitely be different if things change in the world, because Xue Ju, who is called Emperor Qin in the northwest, also set off to Chang'an with an army of 300,000 almost at the same time as Li Yuan, and when Li Yuan took Chang'an, Xue Ju's vanguard had already reached Fufeng. Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to face Xue Ju, and at this time Li Yuan's cousin Li Xiaogong was ordered to pacify the south of the Qinling Mountains, Li Shimin introduced Li Jing to Li Xiaogong as his long history, and the Red Whisk Girl had no chance to reunite with Li Jing, but because of this, there was no inferior performance of the first female brave general.

The most difficult thing for a woman to hide in a barracks full of men is the menstrual tide that must come every month. The Red Whisk Girl encountered the same problem, she kept doing palm presses and standing squats every day, and her curious comrades-in-arms asked her what she was doing? The Red Whisk Girl replied that when she was a soldier, she had to go into battle to kill the enemy, and she had good physical strength to live longer, so more and more people followed her.

Hongfu was born with good physical strength, and after a period of time, she first took turns to do palm pressure with one hand with her left and right hands, and then used only three fingers with one hand. During military drills, the movements of the Red Whisk Girl were superb, and no one could win her in the martial arts competition, so she was quickly promoted to the commander of the tenth and then the centurion, and by the time Li Shimin's army reached Fufeng to meet the battle, the Red Whisk Girl was already the head of the army leading two or three hundred people.

In addition to sending Li Shimin to meet the battle from the front, Li Yuan also ordered Dou Liang and Jiang Mo to lead the army out of Dasanguan to sneak back to attack Xue Ju's flank. When Li Shimin's army and Xue Jujun confronted each other, Xue Renguo relied on his own martial arts and bravery, and even rode alone in front of the battle and shouted, asking Li Shimin's army to send warriors to duel. Li Shimin asked any of his soldiers who would like to fight, and the Red Whisk Girl jumped out with her bow and arrow, which was one size larger than usual.

Xue Renguo shouted: "Come and sign up to die, grandpa will not kill the nameless." ”

Hongfu replied: "Black Mountain Mulan is here." ”

The red whisk girl opened her bow and took the arrow, and with a snap, Xue Renguo turned over and fell off the horse before she could figure out the situation, the red whisk's bow was big, the arrows were long, and the range was farther than Xue Renguo's consciousness, so Xue Renguo was completely defenseless. Xue Renguo's troops hurriedly rescued, Li Shimin's army took the opportunity to rush and kill, Xue Renguo's army was defeated, Li Shimin's banner was victorious, but unfortunately Dou Liang and Jiang Mo all the way out of Sanguan were defeated by Xue Ju, and Li Shimin could only withdraw his army.

After the war, Li Shimin promoted the Red Whisk Girl to a partial general, and accepted him into his personal barracks as his guard, and also asked someone to make a few bows like the Red Whisk Girl for his own use, because the feathers used for the long arrow are large, and this kind of bow and arrow will be called the big feather arrow in the future.

Li Shimin, who had just returned to Chang'an, had no time to be idle, Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's two sons to lead the army to Luoyang to take a look. On the Luoyang side, Yang Guang ordered all the troops to accept the command of Wang Shichong, and the Luoyang army led by Wang Shichong and Li Mi's army continued to fight, winning and losing each other.

Wang Shichong, full of words, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng came to this life he assumed the name Wang Shichong, he read all kinds of books extensively, especially the art of war and divination, fortune telling, astronomical calendar calculations.

In the middle of Emperor Wen of Sui, he was awarded the official position of Yitong Sansi according to his military exploits, and then promoted to a member of the military department. He was good at making presentations to the imperial court and was familiar with various laws and regulations, so he used the provisions of the law to cheat for personal gain and do whatever he wanted. Sometimes, when someone rebukes him, he will use clever sophistry and rhetoric to disguise and use fierce words, and although people know that he is not correct, no one can make him admit his mistake.

During the great cause of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Shichong was promoted to Jiangdu Cheng and concurrently served as the palace supervisor of Jiangdu. At that time, Emperor Yang inspected Jiangdu many times, Wang Shichong was good at observing Emperor Yang's face, flattering and obeying his wishes, and every time he talked about political affairs in the court, Emperor Yang always said yes. So he made jade carvings and landscape paintings, falsely claiming precious handicrafts from afar, and dedicated them to Emperor Yang to curry favor, so Emperor Yang favored him even more. Wang Shichong knew that the political situation in the Sui Dynasty would be chaotic, so he secretly befriended heroes and heroes, widely bought people's hearts, and those who committed crimes and were imprisoned were released by distorting the law, so as to show his personal favor.

Yang Xuangan took advantage of Emperor Yang's personal expedition to Goguryeo, the opportunity of the emptiness of the country, suddenly rebelled, attacked the eastern capital of Luoyang, at that time there were many people in various places under the banner of responding to Yang Xuangan's banner, in the vicinity of Jiangdu there were Liu Yuanjin of Yuhang, Zhu Xie of Kunshan, and Guan Chong of Changshu three rebel armies. Later, these three teams joined forces, and jointly promoted Liu Yuanjin as the main one, occupied Wu County, proclaimed themselves the Son of Heaven, and set up a hundred officials.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent the generals Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo to suppress them, both of whom were veterans of a hundred battles, and by the end of the year, the Sui soldiers basically achieved victory, killed Guan Chong, and besieged Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie in Jian'an. Due to the continuous battle, the soldiers were tired, and the two generals asked for a temporary truce for a period of time, but I don't know who slandered Emperor Yang of Sui, saying that the two deliberately did not attack and had a heart of disobedience. Emperor Yang was furious and immediately removed Tu Wanxu and Yu Juluo from their posts and brought them to justice.

Subsequently, Emperor Yang of Sui appointed Wang Shichong to command the attack on Liu Yuanjin, and recruited tens of thousands of recruits in Huainan and handed them over to Wang Shichong for command. This group of Huainan soldiers later became Wang Shichong's subordinate soldiers, is his starting capital, Wang Shichong attacked Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie with a new force, and even won the battle, Liu Yuanjin and Zhu Xie were killed in battle, but there are still many remnants scattered everywhere for thieves.

Wang Shichong found an auspicious day of the zodiac, gathered relevant personnel, and went to the Buddha statue in Tongxuan Temple to burn incense and swear, agreeing that those who surrendered would not be killed. After Liu Yuanjin's remnants heard about it, they surrendered one after another, and in less than a month, Wang Shichong pacified Wu County. Unexpectedly, Wang Shichong was treacherous, and after the overall situation was decided, Wang Shichong killed all the more than 30,000 people who surrendered.

Meng Rang, the commander of the rebel army of Qi County, set out from Changbai Mountain in Shandong Province to invade various prefectures and counties, and when he arrived in Xuyi, it grew to more than 100,000 horses. Wang Shichong led the troops to resist, taking Duliang Mountain as a stronghold, setting up five camp fences, the enemy and us were relative and did not fight, and also threatened to retreat, and the troops showed a tired and ineffective appearance.

Meng Rang said with a sneer: "Wang Shichong is a petty official who only understands the provisions of laws and regulations, how can he lead troops to fight? I will capture him alive and fight until I go to Jiangdu." ”

At this time, the local people all lived in the army barracks, there was nothing to grab everywhere, and the rebels slowly ran out of food, and they were troubled by the barracks blocking the road, and could not march to the south, so they divided their troops to surround Wang Shichong's five barracks.

Wang Shichong sent troops to fight every day, pretending to be defeated on the surface, and ran back to the camp fence, like this for several days, Meng Rang looked down on him even more, so he slowly sent men and horses to the south to rob the property, leaving only enough troops to surround the camp fence. Wang Shichong knew that the enemy had relaxed his vigilance, so he filled in the stove pit in the barracks, removed the tents, set up a phalanx, faced outward on all sides, pulled out the fence and attacked, fought hard, and defeated the enemy, Meng Rang quietly fled with dozens of people, killing more than 10,000 people and capturing more than 100,000 people. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty thought that Wang Shichong had the talent and strategy of a general, and sent him to lead his troops to crusade against various small groups of rebels, and all the places he went were wiped out.

The Turks besieged Emperor Yang of Sui in Yanmen, Wang Shichong led all the people of Jiangdu to prepare to go to Yanmen to save the country, Wang Shichong was unkempt in the team, crying so much that he lost his normality, did not take off his armor day and night, and lay on the grass to sleep. When Emperor Yang heard this, he thought he was loyal and trusted him even more.

Wang Shichong was promoted to the Jiangdu Tongshou, at that time, he was tired of being a bandit for many years, and took more than 100,000 people to operate in the area of Douzikeng, and was killed by Yang Yichen, the servant of the imperial servant, Wang Shichong led the troops to attack the remnants of Geqian's team and defeated them. He sent troops to Nanyang to attack Lu Mingyue, captured tens of thousands of people, and returned to Jiangdu, Emperor Yang was very happy and personally raised a glass to reward him.

The Wagang army Li Mi and Zhai Rang stormed the eastern capital of Luoyang, defeated the defenders many times, and Luoyang's paperwork for help flew to Jiangdu like snowflakes. Emperor Yang had no choice but to transfer elite troops from all over the country to rescue Luoyang, and among the reinforcements from all walks of life, there were 20,000 Jianghuai soldiers led by Wang Shichong, who was the commander of Jiangdu.

Because Xue Shixiong, the commander-in-chief of this military operation, was accidentally annihilated by Dou Jiande of the Hebei rebel army at Qilijing in Hejian on the way to the army, Emperor Yang of Sui appointed Wang Shichong as the commander-in-chief of the army to aid Luo. Wang Shichong and other reinforcements from all walks of life gathered in Luoyang, bringing Sui's strength in Luoyang to more than 100,000 soldiers.

Li Mi has a military strength of 300,000, and the fierce generals include Xu Shiji, Shan Xinxiong, Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Pei Renji, etc., but Li Mi is not a decisive person, in fact, he does not understand the art of war, he just sits there sanctimoniously and listens to all the generals to express their opinions, and then chooses a plan supported by more people.

Li Mi thought that his wisdom was very high, so he didn't need a strategist by his side, and even Wei Zheng contributed strategies to him, he didn't listen, and sneered, Wei Zheng later became a historical minister of Li Shimin's dynasty, but he made no achievements under Li Mi's account.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin wanted to negotiate with the eastern army of the Sui Dynasty government in Luoyang in the name of reinforcements from the Western Military Government of the Sui Dynasty, but Wang Shichong completely ignored it, and Li Mijun did not make any indications except for sending a small force to engage lightly. Obviously, Chang'an's actions have exceeded the imagination of these two figures, and it is not something they can understand.
