"Li Shimin's movements are so fast?!" Liu Yu put down the emergency battle report, rubbed his eyebrows, and said: "I thought that I could use the Turkic invasion of Guanzhong to slow him down, but I didn't expect Li Shimin to be so shrewd, pretending not to receive Li Yuan's order to return to the army, and took Luo-Yang in one go!" ”

What about shrewdness? Li Shimin is indeed a hero, and he does things neatly...... Liu Yu originally wanted to sabotage Li Shimin's strategy and force him to return to Guanzhong to fight against the menacing Turks with his father and brothers; As for the frightened Wang Shichong and the crumbling Luo-Yang City, it would be better for the young marshal army to pick up a bargain.

However, if Li Shimin is really so easy to deal with, then it will not be the "Lord of Destiny" Li Shimin: whether to return to Chang'an to accept the suppression of his father and brother, or to capture Luo-Yang and support the army for self-respect? Obviously, Li Shimin has made the decision that is most beneficial to him.

Luo-Yang City has thick walls and full of heritage, and now that the eastern capital has fallen into the hands of Li Shimin, it has naturally become his foundation: you must know that Luo-Yang City, which is guarded by Wang Shichong, and Luo-Yang City, which is under the control of Li Shimin, cannot be the same at all! Now if you want to capture Luoyang City, it will be many times more difficult than before.

What's more, Li Shimin did not wait for Li Yuan to order the establishment of officials and generals, and directly let the generals and ministers of Tiance Mansion take over the important military and political affairs of Luoyang, and built the entire city and nearby towns into an ironclad strategic base...... The eagle's wings have grown stiff, and it's time to fly higher, Li Yuan can't control him at all.

Before, their harvest in Chang'an City was already very large, for Li Shimin's matter. Although Liu Yu has some small regrets, he is not completely unexpected. After all, ask yourself, if he is Li Shimin. The same choice may be made. In this way, Li Valve has been divided into two parts, one is Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng of Chang'an; The second is Li Shimin of Luoyang.

Although the Li family will not be stupid enough to kill each other in the current situation of the great enemy, there is a gap between them, and there will always be more eyes and hesitation when transporting troops and food. Moreover, the generals of Li Tang who guarded various towns also had their own preferences for the crown prince and the king of Qin, which was like a bowl with cracks. There will always be a little bit of water coming out......

In this way, it will bring great convenience to Yang Jun's infiltration plan and even military operations, and Liu Yu is quite satisfied with this result. However, now the Dingyang army is busy with military training. The preparations for the Eastern Expedition have not yet been completed, Liu Yu should consider the problem of the young marshal's army, Li Shimin captured Luoyangcheng, and the brunt of it was Kou Zhong.

"Erli Zi has always been cunning like a ghost. Early on I was worried that things wouldn't go as smoothly as we had planned. Really...... Alas. Kou Zhong was a little sullen, at this time he had only digested Xu Yuanlang and Yu Wenhua's territory for a long time, and he was still immersed in the joy of power expansion, and was rewarding the meritorious civil and military generals. Now that he suddenly received this bad news, Kou Zhongxian felt like he had been poured a scoop of cold water on his head, which made him depressed or depressed.

After all, the young marshal's army has too shallow foundations, and the reason why it was able to barely gain a firm foothold before was to fish in troubled waters and pick up cheap -- to put it mildly. The young marshal army, a small fish, relied on eating shrimp to grow slowly. But once you meet Li Shimin's big fish, I'm afraid that it will be swallowed soon.

"The military supplies aided by the Song Valve have been transported by sea through the Guò Water Dragon Gang, and it's time for Xiao Zhong to start rearmament." Liu Yu sighed lightly: "Li Shimin must coerce the great victory of the army to take Peng Liang, although the soldiers of the young marshal's army have been equipped with sophisticated weapons and armor, but they are stronger than the Qin King's hundred battles...... Even if I don't want to hit you, I have to say that the gap between them is really not small. ”

"Of course I ......understand," Kou Zhong smiled bitterly, "If it is a martial arts competition, I am definitely better than Li Shimin a few streets away; But compared to leading the troops to fight, you can't convince him. ”

Leading troops to fight and fighting in the rivers and lakes are fundamentally two concepts, although Kou Zhong has also fought a few beautiful battles, but it is far from Li Shimin's outstanding record. Moreover, most of the members of the Young Marshal's Army are civilians from the grassroots and members of the gangs in the rivers and lakes, although there are also some soldiers of the Dingyang Army assisted by Liu Yu, but in terms of overall strength, it is difficult to compete with the elite soldiers and strong generals who have been trained by the family lords for many years and have fought for many years. As for talents, if it weren't for the support of some of the old Wagang generals, Kou Zhong would have been directly thrown out dozens of streets by the Tiance Mansion.

"It's really rare, it's just that the 'invincible' King Qin 'again' won the battle, and the faces of the two of you are wrinkled into this decay?!" Xu Ziling strode into the room and said with a smile: "I have good news here, do you want to hear it?" ”

Kou Zhong rubbed his face and pouted, "Good news? Tell me, how good can it be? ”

"Yang Gongqing has come to defect, and he is now waiting in the council hall." As Xu Ziling expected, as soon as he said this, Kou Zhong, who had worked with Yang Gongqing and knew his ability, immediately jumped up happily, cheered, and ran out.

Looking at Liu Yu, who slowly stood up and was about to go out to watch the excitement with him, Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "Big brother, even you are not sure that you can deal with Li Shimin?" ”

Liu Yu nodded calmly and said, "In terms of experience in marching and fighting, we are not at all comparable to Li Shimin and those generals under him. In addition, the strength of the young marshal's army is still on the weak side, let alone winning, don't lose too badly, God forbid. "If you want to directly destroy your body like Ren Shaoming, with Li Shimin's identity as the "Lord of Destiny", even if it is the luck of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's "son of the world", I am afraid that the assassination will not succeed and will be deflated.

Xu Ziling asked with a little distress: "Since the situation is so bad, many Yang Gongqing are not much better, right?" ”

Liu Yu smiled faintly and said: "Indeed, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and we have no time to turn the surrendered soldiers into the real combat strength of the young marshal army, so we have to rush to meet Li Shimin, and there is no other way than to do our best." ”

"Then you can still be so calm?" Xu Ziling also smiled reluctantly and sighed: "Seeing that the boat is about to sink, should you prepare to jump into the water in advance to escape?" ”

Liu Yu nodded. He said, "Don't worry, I'll let you know when it's time to run for your life, with the three of us capable." Even if Li Shi's militia comes to the city, we can escape. ”

Xu Ziling's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Big brother, I have to say that this plan is really very unkind...... In fact, you wish that the young marshal army and the king of Qin would fight to the death, and then Dingyang Jun would follow and pick up the cheap, right? ”

Liu Yu, who had a heart-to-heart talk with Xu Ziling in Chang'an. He is no longer as afraid that Xu Ziling will be bewitched by others as he was in the past, so in the face of such a strict questioning, his mentality is very relaxed. only smiled strangely, and said ambiguously: "Xiaoling, why can't you understand the eldest brother?" Big brother is doing this completely for you...... As you can see, Xiao Zhong is now considered a hero. In addition, the people are also young and heroic. I don't know how many Huaichun girls on the territory of the young marshal army want to get close to him. And Kou Zhong is also a merry-fluent person, and he has a posture of not refusing to come! The eldest brother knows that you are bitter in your heart, so he came up with such an idea, as long as the young marshal's army is defeated, you can take advantage of the weakness to enter the situation, take advantage of the safety of the lost Xiao Zhong, and let him realize your goodness again! For the sake of the true love between the two of you, big brother, I really let it go......"

Liu Yu's joke immediately dragged Xu Ziling from the "moral high ground". The means are not unclever - it is said that Xu Ziling originally planned to continue to "educate" Liu Yu, but he was stunned by Lei. He was stunned for a long time, and then he angrily retorted: "What true love? I'm preaching! Big brother's thoughts are really too dirty......"

Xu Ziling was about to continue this battle of words, but Kou Zhong hurriedly returned to the courtyard and said strangely: "What did you just say?" How do I hear true love, righteousness or something......"

"We're just chatting casually, by the way, why did you come back so soon, Elder Yang?" Xu Ziling diverted the topic and asked rhetorically.

"I asked Elder Yang to rest......" Kou Zhong sighed, "He is also a lot older, so he came to run in the dust, of course he has to take good care of his body." Speaking of this, Kou Zhong looked at Xu Ziling and Liu Yu for a while, and said: "I always think that you two have strange expressions, Ling Shao is a little ashamed, but the eldest brother laughs like a fox...... You weren't just talking casually, were you? ”

Liu Yu smiled and said, "It's really not so casual, in fact, Xiaoling just expressed his admiration for you......"

"Wow!" Shuanglong jumped up together, Kou Zhong glared at Xu Ziling, and said sadly: "Ling Shao actually wanted to take advantage of Bafenghan's absence to want red apricots out of the wall?!" ”

Xu Ziling roared irritably, he gritted his teeth and said: "Out of your size, Zhong Shao really learned badly from his eldest brother......" He was only halfway through his words, and he had to deal with the "pig's trotters" waved by Kou Zhong.

Watching the two good brothers scuffling together with a smile, Liu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment, accept and accept." ”

After arguing with his good brother for a while, it can be regarded as an opportunity to vent the sulk that was pressing his heart, Kou Zhong stopped and said, "Don't be kidding, what's going on?" ”

Liu Yu folded the letter paper in his hand, put it into the letter box on the falcon's leg, and watched the messenger go away, only then did he respond: "I have already written to my father to ask for help, until the reinforcements arrive, you have to hold on!" ”

##########################################################

The grass is a withered color, and it is dotted with patches of snow, which looks bleak and lonely. The dense sound of horses' hooves shattered the atmosphere, and thousands of cavalry galloped across the wilderness, their silver blades reflecting a murderous spree.

"We have just passed Wei-Cheng, and we are almost at Wagang, Li Shimin's army is stationed in Xing-Yang after Wagang, Lao Tu, and I will leave it to you next, take us to find the nearest road and go to Xing-Yang City for a walk!" Kou Zhong was wearing heavy armor and riding in the lead, holding Jing Zhongyue in his hand and pointing forward, very majestic.

Uncle Tu, the old general of Wagang Zhai Rang, responded in a majestic voice: "Don't worry, Master Kou, no one is more familiar with the terrain near Wagang than me, and Lao Tu can lead the team with his eyes closed!" He whipped his horse and led the way into the darkness of the night.

After Li Shimin captured Luo-Yang, he only stayed in the city for a few days, and assigned important military and political affairs to his subordinates, and then personally led the army to march out again and came eastward - anyone with a discerning eye could see that his next target was Peng Liang's young marshal army!

However, the army is not just a matter of coming. After Luo-Yang's victory, Li Shimin was indeed in the prime of his army, but no matter how "energetic" he was, his soldiers couldn't skip eating: if the grain and grass couldn't keep up. Don't mention fighting a war or something. Therefore, Li Shimin hurriedly ordered the logistics to raise grain and grass while slowing down the march, and Xingyang, which is located between Peng-Liang and Luo-Yang, is a good place to stop troops and store grain.

In the distance, thousands of cavalry rushed in the light of the rising sun. On Xing-Yang City, the horn of the enemy attack suddenly sounded!

"Disloyalty and unfilial piety, the heart of the tiger and wolf - the second plum son of King Qin, dare to go out of the city to fight?!" Thousands chanted in unison. Repeating the same sentence repeatedly, Li Shimin, who heard the horn and hurried to the city wall to supervise the battle, looked at the well-equipped cavalry calmly with a solemn gaze and a sinking face: the opponent stopped before reaching the range of the crossbow arrows of the Xingyang defenders. After a few more provocations, the front army and the rear army exchanged and ran back in a mighty manner.

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling......" Li Shimin half-narrowed his eyes, staring at the two guys who rode in front of the team when they came and followed at the end of the line when they left. shouted: "Pass the military order." Gather your whole army and pursue the incoming enemy! ”

"Whoa!"

"Shimin," Li Shentong, the first master of Li Valve and Li Shimin's own uncle, hesitated, but still couldn't help asking, "Let's chase it out like this?" Will there be an ambush ......?"

"Second uncle, don't worry, they all rushed to the city, just to delay our army, and it will definitely be too late to set up an ambush." Li Shimin smiled proudly: "Carving insect skills, what a way!" ”

Xu Ziling rode a horse. While looking back, after a few teas. He slapped his thigh and said, "Li Shimin chased after him, he said a long time ago that he couldn't be scared out of the city by a few words from us, how could he be so stupid?!" ”

"I don't think it's possible, but he chases after him if he likes, let's take him to run in circles, and we can still delay time." Kou Zhong pinched the horse's belly and smiled easily.

According to the strategy discussed by Liu Yu and Kou Zhong, instead of hiding in Peng-cheng and waiting for Li Shimin's army to attack, they should take the initiative to attack, and first use the cavalry with superior mobility to delay and consume the enemy as much as possible -- there are mountains and forests near Xing-Yang and Wagang, and there are old Wagang generals who are familiar with the terrain, so Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling can first fight a guerrilla war with Li Shimin: the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy is tired and we disturb ......

Even if Li Shimin is not fooled, it will take a lot of time to toss back and forth like this. During this period of time, whether it was Peng-Cheng, Liang-County, or Qian-County, Ji-Yin County, etc., they all continued to strengthen their fortifications: and these fortifications were not used for a decisive battle with Li Shimin, their ultimate goal was to "delay" - thousands of soldiers and horses were placed in each place, relying on the geographical advantage to grind time, if they could not run, if they could not defend the town, they could abandon it, and they would throw aside any cheekiness!

All in all, what if Peng-Cheng and Liang-Jun were occupied by Li Shimin? After defeating Yu Wenhua and Xu Yuanlang, Kou Zhong has a lot of territory under his name, as well as Qi, Lu, Bei-Hai, Lang-Ya, Dong-Hai and other counties, plus Yang-Zhoujiang-Yin and so on.

According to Li Shimin's tactics and strategy, it is impossible for him to disperse his forces to defend the territory before completely defeating the young marshal's army, so as not to be broken by each other. In addition, Li Shimin claimed to be the master of the Ming Dynasty, and he did not have the brutal nature of slaughtering the city and disturbing the people, so Kou Zhong spent it with him - running around with soldiers and horses, anyway, there was food everywhere, and when he was full and the enemy came, he would change places......

In the city, outside the city, in the mountains and in the countryside, this is the true meaning of guerrilla warfare. Consume each other's troops, and even consume time, to see who can consume whom! However, if you want to play Li Shimin, you always have to pay the price of blood. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling besieged Li Shimin several times, although they were able to break through each fierce battle, but the men and horses of the young marshal's army also broke batch after batch...... The most recent one was also the most dangerous, only Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling narrowly escaped with their martial arts, and everyone else died in battle.

"This time, even Lao Tu couldn't get out...... Kou Zhong, who was covered in blood, had slightly red eyes, and only heard him grit his teeth and say: "Watch from the sky, I will avenge my brothers sooner or later!" ”

"Shhh Xu Ziling pulled out the arrow embedded in the flesh, and said with a wry smile: "Revenge or something, let's talk about it later, let's go to Donghaijun to meet the eldest brother first...... But it's our last soldiers and horses there, and if we run out of them, we really don't have to continue playing. ”

"Don't talk about us being so miserable...... Kou Zhong snorted and said, "Erlizi, that bastard also suffered a lot of losses, not only did he lose tens of thousands of troops for us. He also taught us to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Wei Chi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Changsun Wuji, Pang Yu and his brother-in-law Chai Shao! Ha, did you just see his face? That look of wanting to eat people......"

"You're still a proud fart...... Xu Ziling sighed weakly: "Those ice and snow will not melt for at least a month, and we will definitely not be able to hold on...... Will our cheap dad come? If there are no reinforcements, I want to flee to Lingnan to bask in the sun! ”

"Shine your head, didn't you say before that you would fight against the water and never retreat?" Kou Zhong put his arm on Xu Ziling's shoulder, and the two walked staggeringly.

"The reason why I say that is not all for you?" Xu Ziling rolled his eyes and continued: "But now that the soldiers, horses, territory, and money and food are almost finished, why should we kill ourselves? Look at how shrewd the big brother is. I've been hiding in the rear, I can't even see a figure, and I said before that I wanted to share weal and sorrow with us? Believe that he is a pig! ”

############################################################

In winter, the mountains and forests are full of dead grass, dead trees, and dead leaves. A little spark can ignite a fire that burns the entire mountain forest, not to mention that Li Shimin deliberately set the fire? I saw the flames rise brightly, and in a short time they burned half of the sky. Two figures weaved swiftly through the dead branches and leaves, shaking off the heat and smoke billowing behind them. Run to a creek and stop.

"The fire is so big. It won't be long before even the water source is completely drained. Now the only way for us to survive is to walk along the stream out of this forest, but we don't have to think about it to know that we will be greeted by the thousands of bastards of Erlizi. Kou Zhong picked up the stream and wiped his face, and took a sip hatefully.

"Then you choose, do you go out and be shot as a hedgehog, or stay here to be a roast pig?" Xu Ziling simply threw himself into the water and rolled a few times, and sighed faintly: "It seems that Li Shimin has already set this place for us to bury our bones." Deliberately forced us into the woods, and then set us on fire! ”

"Let's go!" Kou Zhong reached out and grabbed Xu Ziling's arm and pulled him up. Haomai smiled: "Let's rush out and kill him a few more times in and out, how can the dignified Yang-Zhou Shuanglong become a roasted double pig?!" ”

"You're the only pig, don't add me!" Xu Ziling snorted and got up, and then the two of them performed light skills and ran along the stream like a fly, and in the thick smoke, the edge of the woods was visible in the distance. However, with the eyes of the two dragons, they naturally also saw the sharp light reflected by the fluttering flags and spear blades.

Kou Zhong suddenly stopped and said, "Let's kill one round first, and then when we really can't stand it...... Ling Shao, you surrender, Er Lizi still values you very much. ”

"you, you're going to make me angry when you're dying?!" Xu Ziling's eyes showed a fierce light, gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to beat you flat, Zhong Shao!" ”

Kou Zhong looked back at Xu Ziling, his eyes showed extremely strong feelings, and said: "Good brother, I am the one who has caused you ......" Speaking of this, he blinked, and knew that Xu Ziling could not make a surrender, so he took away all his sad feelings, changed his tone and quipped: "If I hadn't forced you to stay, maybe you would have married outside the Saiwai and lived a happy life with Lao Ba." ”

"Less!" Xu Ziling pinched Kou Zhong with a smile and laughter, and said thoughtfully: "If I go out alone first and say that I want to surrender, can I find an opportunity to get close to Li Shimin and then kill him......

"If he had been that stupid, he wouldn't have forced us like this!" Kou Zhong sneered, "Unless you go out with my head...... If I didn't see my Kou Zhong finish with my own eyes, Er Li Zi would never take it lightly. Saying that, he paused slightly, and then said: "Ling Shao, do you want to play Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin?" But I haven't killed enough enemies yet, so I don't really want to lend you my head just yet. ”

"the fart, we'll kill it when we're ready!" Xu Ziling took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, he had raised his shooting state to the peak, and said lightly: "Don't think about surrender anymore, I'm pretty sure Li Shimin can't play big brother at all...... So it's better for both of us to die and wait for the eldest brother to take revenge! ”

Kou Zhong nodded lightly, then calmed down, his eyes were empty, and he suddenly entered the state of the moon in the well, and shouted: "Kill!" (To be continued......)
