Liu Wuzhou was starving here, and even the reserve of cold cotton clothes was not enough, and many of the soldiers had frostbite and were miserable.

And Li Shimin's side, eating and feasting, and occasionally holding a small bonfire party to mediate the atmosphere, the generals are all oily, and the war horses are fat and strong, just waiting for the opportunity to suddenly appear, killing Liu Wuzhou will never recover!

In the first month of the third year of Wude, Li Shimin ordered the Tang general Qin Wutong to face Wang Xingben head-on, which was the largest scale of active attack since the stalemate with Liu Wuzhou.

Liu Wuzhou was teased by the Tang army for a winter, and when he heard that there was movement again, the soldiers behaved very slackly, and no one took it seriously. When he received Wang Xingben's distress letter, he hurriedly sent troops, but it was too late, Wang Xingben could not withstand the strong attack of the Tang army, and finally surrendered.

Wang Xingben was treacherous and belonged to the kind of grass on the wall, and at the same time, in order to warn Liu Wuzhou and kill the chicken to show the monkey, Wang Xingben was finally beheaded and shown to the public.

After learning the news, Liu Wuzhou's subordinates couldn't sit still, and they all asked for orders to fight Li Shimin to the death. According to Liu Wuzhou's meaning, he has to wait a little longer.

However, Wang Xingben had a good relationship with Song Jingang before his death, and seeing that his friend was killed by the Tang Army, the angry Song Jingang really couldn't swallow this breath, and took the lead in asking for his life and asked to go to Li Shimin.

Liu Wuzhou is under a lot of pressure, and he always feels that now is not the best time, but his female dependents are also fed up with the days when they can't eat dry food every day, and they have to nag and complain bitterly.

In the end, Liu Wuzhou agreed, and for the sake of prudence, he sent two teams of men and horses to set off in Luzhou and Haozhou respectively to attack the Tang army.

"Wang Xingben was killed. It will definitely anger Song Jingang. Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, soldiers, the final battle between Datang and Liu Wuzhou is about to begin! "This day. Li Shimin's high-profile announcement.

The crowd was excited, and everyone raised their arms and cheered, as if they had seen the dawn of victory. Only Yuan Ziyan lowered his head and kicked the snow under his feet, thoughtfully.

"Strategist, what's the best plan?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"In fact, it is not difficult to repel these two lines of soldiers and horses, but it is only to repel them, and they cannot be touched. If our army pretends to be invincible. lured the enemy deeper, and then sent heavy troops to cut off the grain route of Song Jingang and others, within two months. The other side will definitely retreat. Yuan Ziyan said.

"Haha, just do what the military advisor says!" Cheng Biting Jin's excited eyes went straight to the little star, if the plan went well, it would not be a big victory. It's a big victory.

Qin Qiong's dissatisfied stroke bit Jin and made a look. It means that it is not your turn to call the shots in this matter, and there is King Qin. Cheng Yanjin waved his fat hand disappreciatively, and said confidently: "Presumably King Qin thinks the same way!" ”

Li Shimin's face was cold, he really thought so, but Cheng Yanjin didn't treat himself as an outsider too much, everything was up to him, what else did he want to do as a coach?

Seeing that Yuan Ziyan was winking at himself and smiling evilly, Li Shimin took it to heart. smiled: "General Cheng, you are definitely the smartest general in the army." Before the king has spoken, you can guess what the king is thinking. ”

"Hehe, King Qin is polite!"

"In that case, you should know what I'm going to do next. In this way, General Cheng will intercept Liu Wuzhou's Luzhou army, and only defeat will not be allowed to win. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but steal fun, Cheng Biting Jin was dumbfounded, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Why did I go to lose the battle?" ”

"Defeat is also victory, not only to lose, but also to lose really, not to make the other party suspicious." Li Shimin said seriously.

"I Lao Cheng is a sincere person and will not deceive people. By the way, Uncle Bao is the most excited, let Uncle Bao go to Luzhou! Cheng Biting Jin pushed Qin Qiong inauthentically, Qin Qiong just laughed, and obeyed orders.

"You really don't want to go?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

"I don't want to!" Cheng Yanjin saw that Li Shimin's face was not good, and discussed: "As long as you don't go to Luzhou, the rest will be fine." ”

"Okay, then go to Haozhou, and also seek defeat." After Li Shimin finished speaking, he went to arrange for others to wait, and the focus of this war was, of course, to intercept the grain road.

Cheng Yanjin regretted it, Haozhou is the same as Luzhou, so he didn't say, "Ziyan, you said that King Qin is really the emperor, and he is not the emperor, and he is afraid that people will figure out his thoughts?" ”

"I can't make up my mind until the end." Yuan Ziyan glanced at Cheng Yanjin meaningfully. Cheng Biting Jin was not stupid, he immediately understood the taste, and wanted to ask what was going on, but Yuan Ziyan had already left.

Hehe, if you follow the future monarch to fight the country, you can also be a veteran in the future, what wins and loses, as long as you can achieve your goal.

Liu Wuzhou's general who escorted the grain and salary was called Huang Ziying, and because there was not much left, and he was busy collecting grain and grass everywhere, the management was very lax. Tang general Zhang Dezheng saw this opportunity and led 5,000 soldiers and horses to forcibly attack the weakest western wall. The Tang army was not in a hurry to rush in, but fired rockets in the direction of the granary.

This is the key area of the fire ban, and in an instant, black smoke billows from the granary. By the time Huang Ziying heard the news, the granary had already burned in pitch black, and there were even hungry soldiers picking cooked grain from the ashes to eat.

Huang Ziying was furious and pursued the withdrawn Tang army, in fact, he could have escaped this catastrophe, but since it was sent to the door, of course the Tang army would not show mercy and killed him after surrounding him.

Immediately afterwards, the Tang army successfully occupied Zhangnanbao, thus cutting off the grain route of the Song Jingang army on the east side of Fenshui.

Because Huang Ziying died too quickly, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong and others were still on their own roads at this time. Since the grain route has been cut off, of course, there is no need to feign defeat and flee to divert the enemy army, and naturally there can be a big battle.

Especially Cheng Yanjin, after coming to Luzhou, he didn't call for battle, he came up to order the soldiers to forcibly attack the city, and at the same time shouted that Liu Wuzhou's granary was burned and couldn't last long. The people in the city panicked and their combat effectiveness decreased, and after three days, the defending generals had to rush out of a bloody road and escape.

Although the army led by Cheng Yanjin suffered casualties, it got some prisoners, which was basically equal.

And Qin Qiong will not be as reckless as Cheng Biting Jin, since he learned that the other party's military food is extremely scarce, he is not in a hurry, so he ordered the army to camp outside the house and started a war of attrition, ten days later, the people in Haozhou City rioted, clashed with the town guards, and bloodshed. Immediately afterwards, the people flocked to the city gate and opened the city gate to welcome the arrival of the Tang army. The Haozhou general led the crowd to break through at the north gate, but was ambushed by Qin Qiong and was stabbed to death. The rest of the soldiers were all disarmed and surrendered, and the number was enough to be 3,000.

Waiting for Li Yuan to receive the fold, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he had not officially started a war with Liu Wuzhou, but wherever the Tang army went, the enemy army was all fleeing from the wind, and victory would usher in spring with the melting of ice and snow!

Li Shimin ordered all the soldiers to be rewarded, and held a feast for three days and three nights without sleep. It's just that after this momentum, Li Shimin is dormant again, not to mention that everyone can guess that after repeated defeats, coupled with the lack of food and grass, Song Jingang will definitely retreat.

Sure enough, Song Jingang, who had been with the Tang army for five months, was finally cut off due to food and salary, and his subordinates were angry and forced to withdraw north.

After learning the news, Li Shimin put aside all the affairs at hand, immediately led 20,000 elite soldiers, took a few pieces of dry food with him, and personally chased and killed.

Wherever he went, Li Shimin was the vanguard of all the cities he went, and under his leadership, the soldiers fought bloody battles, and in a day and night they not only fought dozens of battles of all sizes, but also marched more than 200 miles.

They are all flesh and blood, and the soldiers are exhausted, but Li Shimin has no intention of stopping, waving his arms and ordering the whole army to continue to advance rapidly, and must take advantage of the victory to pursue and not give the other party a chance to breathe and think.

After marching like this for a long time, many people were so tired that they were about to fall asleep on horseback, and even several lieutenants even died of several war horses. Until dusk the next day, the dry food that everyone brought with them had already been eaten, and after a few more battles, their hungry eyes were glazed and their ears were ringing.

"Shimin, if you really can't do it, let everyone rest for a while." Yuan Ziyan really couldn't stand it, she was better, at least she didn't have to participate in the war, but the rest of the people were different, and she had to fight twelve points of spirit every time she fought.

Strong as Cheng bites gold, but also tired wrists sore, and the hand holding the axe always trembles.

Li Shimin didn't stop, and said loudly as he hurried forward: "Soldiers, it's not that I, Li Shimin, am not sympathetic to everyone, let's stick here for months, for what, it's today!" Song Jingang had no choice but to flee in defeat, if he was allowed to think about strategy, I don't know how many Tang soldiers would die in his hands. Today, I share weal and woe with everyone, I have a sip of water, everyone drinks, and I have a mouthful of food, and I Li Shimin will never occupy more! Soldiers, for the people of the Tang Dynasty to no longer be harassed by traitors, I, Li Shimin, have no regrets about dying, you guys, follow me and continue to rush forward! ”

Li Shimin's words were extremely inflammatory, and everyone's emotions were mobilized again, and everyone King Qin could endure this hardship, let alone us. So he raised his arms and shouted, and no one was afraid to go back.

"Purple smoke, you can't stop, if you stop, you will be even more slack, and you won't be able to get up again!" Li Shimin's bloodshot eyes glanced at Yuan Ziyan.

Yuan Ziyan's heart trembled, Li Shimin is not only a generation of Ming Jun, but also a great military general, Wen Tao Wu strategy, rare in the world.

However, after arriving at Gaobi Ridge, two soldiers in the team suddenly fell to the ground, spitting blood from their mouths, convulsing a few times and tilting their heads to die. The military doctor hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the final result was death from exhaustion.

The chief manager Liu Hongji tearfully grabbed the reins of Li Shimin's horse, knelt on the ground, and choked up: "King Qin, now that Liu Wuzhou's troops have been defeated and fallen, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a comeback, and the merits of King Qin will definitely go down in history and be immortal." The soldiers were tired and hungry, and there was no shortage of tired people, and the King of Qin regarded them as brothers and sisters, how could he bear to die like this! ”

Li Shimin's eyes were also filled with tears, and he finally stopped his horse, but said something else: "Soldiers, if I, Li Shimin, were just for merit, I would not lead my troops to pursue." As long as there is war, there will be casualties, and I would rather pray to God that I will be the next person to die suddenly. However, as long as I, Li Shimin, do not die, I will not give up easily! (To be continued......)
