Chapter 820: Li Shimin counterattacked

"Dangdang!" On a meadow outside Changzhi New Town, Yang Tong and Pei Xing were fighting together.

Two horse lances, one wide open and close, one as tricky as a snake, even if the force is such as Yin Mingyue, Wang Xiongdan, Cheng Chumo and others, they are also dizzying, and the advance and retreat moves of the two seem to hide infinite killing opportunities.

Yang Tong's martial arts are very similar to Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, the three of them all pay attention to momentum, and they are prosperous before the battle, and the style of the three of them is that if they can't kill the enemy in seconds, they will keep pressing and fighting.

Yang Tong's martial arts were exerted to the extreme at this time, and the heaven-splitting lance in his hand was vertical and horizontal, and together with Pei Xingyan's fierce fight, there was a tendency for the enemy to be one foot stronger and one foot stronger for me. And Pei Xingyan's martial arts is a fast word, the horse lance in his hand is like a poisonous snake spitting letters, like a dragon turning over, every time he will bring up a gun shadow, and he will retreat with one blow, never leaving any chance for the enemy, but he is also the kind of person who fights.

It is impossible to tell the winner in a short period of time, but if one of them makes a slight mistake, it seems that the loss of life is only a millimeter.

The horses of the two were not light, but the speed was extremely fast, and afterimages flashed in the air, and in the continuous collision sounds, the cyclone formed by the huge anti-shock force forced the surrounding soldiers far away.

However, Yang Tong's martial arts are more contradictory, in addition to domineering, there is also a trick of using strength, after the two fought lily, Pei Xingyan only felt a strange force that made his horse lance push the direction of the head, and slashed heavily to the ground, Yang Tong changed the stab to pump, and the strong force knocked Pei Xingyan off the horse.

Under one blow, Pei Xingyan lost his combat effectiveness, which is not violent.

"I can block the Saint's storm-like moves, but I still can't get this weird 'borrowing power'."

Pei Xingyan climbed up, patted the blades of grass on his body, and couldn't help laughing.

This smile, free and easy, is exactly the atmosphere of the husband who wins or loses without regrets.

"It's just a fluke!" Yang Tong's words are not false at all, between the two of them in martial arts, but at their level? In many cases, the comparison is not only about martial arts? There's also resourcefulness, reflexes, and a grasp of the situation. In the next battle, Yang Tong was not sure if he would be able to win Pei Xingyan.

The point is that Pei Xingyan's hammer that knocks on people's heads is quite awesome? But when the two competed? He never used it. If it's a life-and-death duel, he suddenly comes with a hammer? If you don't die, you will also break your muscles and bones.

Regardless of life and death, it is impossible to judge a person's true kung fu.

"Holy? I heard that I have a saying that there are ten fierce generals in the Great Sui? Wang Xiongdan on the side asked.

Yang Tong nodded and said, "There are indeed ten generals during the Emperor Wen period?" They are Wei Zhao Wang Yang Shuang, Yang Su, Gao Xi, Yu Juluo, Han Baohu, He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, Yu Zeqing, Da Xi Changru, and Changsun Sheng. But in the period of Emperor Wu, these ten generals have changed again, but Yang Su and Gao Gong, who have always been in the ranks, are not good at martial arts, and even if they go to the battlefield, they mainly command the army to fight? So these top ten generals are judged by their military talent and overall achievements? It does not refer to individual martial arts. And our army also has the saying of the top ten generals, but this has nothing to do with the emperor or the imperial court, it is selected by the soldiers themselves. ”

"Who are the top ten generals of my dynasty?" Wang Xiongtan asked again.

Yang Tong said with a smile: "Pharmacist, Shubao, Shixin, Xingyan, Wei Chi, Lao Niu, Wan Jun, Wan Che, Dingfang, and the last one is Mingyue?" It can be seen that the top ten generals of this dynasty are not judged by martial arts? Rather, it is determined by military merits and achievements. ”

"What about the Holy One? How is there no holy name? Wang Xiongtan asked.

"It's said that it's judged by the record, don't you understand?" Pei Xingyan was speechless and said, "The countless battles that the Holy Lord has commanded over the years? To say the least, two or three million enemy troops have been defeated, and our generals have not overturned so many combined? Even if you put aside the identity of the emperor? Do you think it's appropriate to put the saint in the ranks of generals? ”

Wang Xiongdan's face turned red? After a while, he asked again: "Not long ago, I heard General Niu say that the first martial arts is General Qin, the second is General Luo and General Wei Chi, and General Pei is third. ”

"He talks nonsense." Pei Xingyan suddenly exploded.

Yang Tong couldn't help laughing, "Do you think you can do Xiao Luo?" ”

"Of course." Pei Xingyan said very confidently: "My martial arts have improved again, I can definitely let go of that guy." ”

"But Xiao Luo also said that his martial arts have improved a lot, and he also confidently said that he can easily knock you and Wei Chi, and even draw with Shubao, what do you say?"

"Let's do it."

"Okay, let's have a game at the end of the year, and by the way, put Xie Yingden in."

"Say it in advance, you are not allowed to use arrows!" Thinking of Xie Yingdeng's elusive archery skills, Pei Xingyan was a little hairy.

"Archery is Xie Yingdeng's most powerful ability, but you don't allow people to use arrows, do you think it's fair? If he doesn't allow you, Shubao and Wei Chi to use a lance, and Xiao Luo doesn't allow a gun, what do you say? There are also General Du, Kan Ling, Wang Xiongdan, father and son, who want to save you to compete on a small boat, what do you say? "The allusion of two peaches killing three soldiers has been passed down through the ages, and Yang Tong does not advocate that these tigers under his command will fight for the false name of the world's first.

"This ......" Pei Xingyan was stunned when he took the boat, and when he went to the boat to compare with Du Fuwei's three masters, didn't he give people a head?

Seeing that he was speechless, Yang Tong immediately smiled and said: "It is difficult to explain personal martial arts clearly, and there is no way to be fair and just at all." ”

Although the "......" was unwilling, Pei Xingyan had to admit this fact: let Du Fuwei fight with everyone on land, even if you easily win him, but it seems that it is not a victory, according to this calculation, as long as it is not the enemy of life and death, everyone will not be able to distinguish the superior.

"Holy." At this time, a Shura guard rushed over and bowed to Yang Tong: "General Wang sent a good news, our army won a complete victory, wiped out more than 10,000 defenders of the northern gate of Tubo, and then annihilated nearly 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers of Long Keduo on the bank of the Jiqu River, not only fundamentally eliminated the strength of Tubo, but also seized countless gold, silver, livestock, and slaves from Tubo. Encouraged by this, Subi, Nong, Ba, and Cai Bang took up their own country names, officially broke with Tibet, and took the initiative to march to Luo. In addition, seventy percent of the property, livestock and slaves seized by the four kingdoms later belonged to the Great Sui, and General Wang reached an agreement with the kings of the four countries that in the future, the land within a radius of 100 miles centered on the Luo Dynasty would be owned by the Great Sui, and the armies of various countries would not be allowed to enter the country, and the herdsmen would not be allowed to graze. ”

Hearing this, Yang Tong was deeply surprised.

Unexpectedly, Wang Fubao would win seventy percent of the property and an enclave for the Great Sui, which was something he had never imagined before, and he immediately nodded with satisfaction, "Reply to General Wang, just say that after the capture of Luoqi City, it will be renamed Fubao City, and call that territory 'Absolute Domain'." ”

"Whoa."

Shura Wei bowed, and then said: "Saint, an eagle letter was also sent from the direction of Yizhou, saying that Niang Shang was not coming. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Yang Tong asked curiously, "Not coming?" What do you say? ”

Niang Shangsang originally planned to return to Tibet, but after Li Shimin heard the news, he personally ran to Jiaochuan County, Wenshan County, and I don't know how he talked to Niang Shangnang, and then Niang Shangsang took his army to Danchang County with Li Shimin. According to our spies, Niang Shangsang seems to have made Li Shimin say that he has surrendered. Shurawei hurriedly said.

"Li Yuan's mother's sac, which Li Yuan couldn't keep, was actually cut off by Li Shimin like this?" When Yang Tong heard this, he was speechless.

Shurawei replied, "Exactly. ”

Pei Xingyan said with a smile on the side: "Li Yuan is getting more and more useless, and after arriving in Chengdu, he has really become a dou who can't be helped!" What a big piece of waste. ”

"That's true." Yang Tong patted his forehead thoughtfully, feeling anxious about the IQ of his cheap father-in-law, and said with a wry smile: "Li Shimin's method of leaving Niang Shangsang is nothing more than saying that there are a large number of Sui troops guarding Jiangyuan County, and it is impossible for Niang Shangsang and his soldiers to return to Tubo safely, it is best to create a safe passage with the Tang army, this method is something that everyone can think of." However, Li Yuan couldn't keep Niang Shangbao, and then let go of these 40,000 elite soldiers in vain, what is this not waste? ”

"Holy One, what should we do?" Pei Xingyan was also very helpless, they had been waiting for Niang Shangbao here for many days, but the result turned out to be like this, which was really depressing.

Yang Tong frowned slightly and thought for a while, and said quite solemnly: "Li Shimin expanded his army frantically not long ago, if it weren't for him from Jingzhou all the way to Danchang, with the barren and narrow places of Tangchang, Tongchang, and Wudu, he would not be able to raise so many troops at all, and now that he has added 40,000 mouths, he will become a poor egg sooner or later." What would you do if it were you? ”

"Since we can't raise so many troops, and we don't want to disarm, we can only feed the war by fighting before the money and food run out." Pei Xingyan said.

"Not bad." Yang Tong pondered for a long time and said: "Li Shimin wants to fight, and he will also fight my Great Sui, but whether he is the Eastern Expedition to Hanchuan and Shunzheng, or the Northern Expedition to Hechi and Hanyang, he is facing a very cruel battle, and with his uneven army, he can't conquer the various Guanshan fortresses at all. And the 40,000 Tibetan elite soldiers are not good at attacking fortifications. In this way, he only has two choices, one is to trace Baishui to the north and attack Xue Wanche in Lintao; The second is to march into Jiangyuan County from the area of Gansong Mountain in Wenshan, and then fight with us. ”

"What the Holy One said is very true." Pei Xingyan thought for a while and said, "However, the last general thinks that if they really want to fight, they should fight Lintao, because compared with our Jiangyuan, General Xue Wanche does not have many troops, and Li Shimin has a better chance of winning Lintao." ”

"My opinion is the opposite of yours, I think Li Shimin will fight Jiangyuan County with Niang Shangsang." Yang Tong said with confidence.

Pei Xingyan said with some puzzlement: "Jiangyuan has the Holy Lord and the First Army here, Li Shimin is fighting Jiangyuan, isn't he looking for death?" ”

"Don't you think that the situation and mood of this Tubo army are very similar to the Xiaoguo army of the Jiangdu Rebellion?" Yang Tong asked rhetorically.

Pei Xingyan thought for a while, and immediately nodded suddenly, he understood what Yang Tong meant: when Li Yuan rebelled, he was worried that he would not be able to defeat the Great Sui, so he declared himself a vassal to the Turkic Khan, and asked Liu Wenjing to promise Shibi the alliance of "If you enter Chang'an, the people's land will enter the Tang Dynasty, and the gold and jade silk will return to the Turks", so Shibi invaded in a big way, and the battle of Mayi occurred with the Great Sui. And after this covenant was also spread to Jiangdu, Xiao Guojun was worried about his parents, wives and children in his hometown, and he was eager to return to his hometown, so he was used by Yu Wenhua and Sima Dejiao, Yuan Min and others, thus launching the Jiangdu Rebellion.

On the way back, in the face of the brave Wagang's countless elite soldiers and fierce generals and the resourceful Li Mi, in the case of incessant infighting, insufficient food and grass, and weak military morale, they were able to defeat Wagang, who had the best time and place, and lost his armor, and killed the big boss Zhai Rang, and Li Mi was almost shot to death. How did they do their amazing combat effectiveness? One is the elite of the elite, and the other is caused by "return to the teacher and don't stop it".

And these 40,000 Tubo troops in a foreign country are in a more urgent mood to go home than the Jiangdu Xiaoguo army, if Niang Shangsang does not leave, the Tubo army is estimated to rebel against him like Yang Guang. If Li Shimin took them to Lintao, although the road home from them was not far from the north, it was not much different, and they would not be able to exert their desperate heart at all, so in this way, Jiangyuan was indeed the first choice for them to attack.

If the Sui army went to cut off the way home of the Tubo army like the Wagang army, could they not fight hard?

Moreover, purely in terms of military strength, the Jiangyuan Sui army, which had fought several major battles with the Tubo and Tuyuhun coalition forces, did not have an advantage, and if Li Shimin's army was coupled with 40,000 Tubo elite soldiers who intended to fight hard, Li Shimin's chances of victory would still be very great.

What's more important is that the coach here is Yang Dong, if Yang Dong is killed like the Xiaoguo Army killed Zhai Rang, then even if the Li Tang Dynasty can't turn the tables, the Sui Dynasty will at least have a period of chaos.

Thinking of this, Pei Xing's thinking suddenly became clear, and he said solemnly: "The last general understands, in this way, we will soon have another big battle." ”

"This can't be helped, who let Li Shimin have 40,000 more elite 'dead soldiers'? Who made my head a valuable head of the Great Sui? Yang Tong also smiled helplessly.

"Maybe this is the reason why Li Shimin successfully persuaded his mother." Pei Xingyan groaned.

"That's what I thought, too." Speaking of this, Yang Tong's eyes became brighter, and he saw a small black dot flying from the east, and the small black dot was getting closer and closer.

Several of the soldiers shouted, "Holy Lord, it's from the east!" ”

A vigorous eagle hovered in the sky and slowly landed in a chosen place, Yang Tong smiled at Pei Xingyan and said, "It seems that I guessed correctly." ”

Not long after.

The eagle letter was sent to Yang Tong by Shurawei, and the content was that Li Shimin's soldiers and horses were assembling in Tongchang County.

Yang Tong immediately ordered, "Pass on my order, and after half an hour, the whole army will assemble to Yongzhi, and issue an order to the Ten Banner Army, each with 3,000 soldiers under his command, to fight with me." ”

"Yes!" The heralds departed.
