When Su Dingfang in the Jiuzhi Mountain-Sui Army Camp in Liquan County received the news of Li Xiaogong's defeat, he couldn't help but get excited.

His mission is to cut off Li Xiaogong's way to the south, and now that the enemy's main force has been defeated by Yang Tong, there is no need for him to stay here, Yang Dongying's letter 'Li Xiaogong's main force has been defeated, and your department will act when the opportunity comes' has explained everything. As soon as he received the urgent report, he ordered all the generals in the camp to discuss the matter.

Soon after, all the generals were present.

"Li Xiaogong is finished." Looking at a pair of expectant eyes, Su Dingfang reported the progress of the war in Beidi County.

"Your Highness is mighty!" Huge cheers resounded in the big tent of the Chinese army.

Su Dingfang said with a smile. "I thought we would have to hold on for a few more days, and we could even get a little credit from Li Xiaogong, but Li Xiaogong lost too quickly and completely! There is no chance for us. Now our mission has come to an end. His Highness has allowed my subordinates to move freely, which means that our opportunity to make meritorious service has come. ”

The generals were even more excited.

"Tell us where we should be next?"

The generals talked nonsense, everyone expressed their opinions, and the big tent was boiling. After a while, the siege of Chang'an became the mainstream opinion,

But this was different from what Su Dingfang thought, he saw that a heroic general was always silent, and asked with a smile: "General Huang, what is your opinion?" ”

This person is Huang Junhan, who was transferred to Su Dingfang by Yang Tong.

He is the son of Haoqiang in Dongjun, in the seventh year of the great cause, a small official named Zhai Rang broke the law and was beheaded, but he admired Zhai Rang's courage very much, and he escaped with the help of him, and since then there has been Wagangzhai. Huang Junhan is Zhai Rang's benefactor, and he is talented in his own right, and he has been improving step by step, but as one of the core figures of Zhai Rang's faction, when Li Mi took power, he was squeezed out by many people, and was defeated by Wang Shichong in the key battle and was captured, and was ransomed by Yang Tong to the Great Sui.

Yang Tong not only did not condemn him, but also gave him the opportunity to join the army, Huang Junhan was very moved in his heart. Huang Junhan is ambitious and ambitious, and he also has the ability, and he also wants to perform well in this battle, so that Yang Tong can realize his strategy. It's just that the Great Sui generals are like clouds, and it is very difficult for him to get ahead because of his somewhat embarrassing status, if he continues to stay by Yang Tong's side, he will never have a chance to be promoted, and he will never come out.

And just when he was suffering from gains and losses, he was transferred to Su Dingfang's command by Yang Tong and became Su Dingfang's deputy, he knew that Yang Tong was giving him a platform to play. At this time, as soon as he heard Su Dingfang's inquiry, he immediately expressed his opinion, and said: "Chang'an City is now besieged by General Wei Chi and General Shen, and looking at His Royal Highness's meaning, he intends to leave it for the last to fight, and the Tang army adopts the method of sticking to and waiting for help, so it makes little sense for us to go to Chang'an." ”

"General Huang is right! Chang'an is indeed the last object of our army's conquest, and it is of little significance to go to Chang'an. Su Dingfang agreed with Huang Junhan's statement and asked, "Then where do you think we should go?" ”

"Fufeng!"

"The hero sees something the same thing, and I think of it." Su Dingfang nodded and said to Huang Junhan: "Tell me about your plan!" ”

"Whoa!" After Huang Junhan clenched his fists, he said: "The Fufeng County Guard is Li Shuliang, the king of Changping County of Li Tang, who originally had 50,000 garrisons, but due to the coercion of our army, the Great Earthquake Pass and the Dispersal Pass, after he divided his troops to garrison, there were only 20,000 available soldiers. Although this person is both civil and military, he does not have much actual combat experience, and has only participated in the counterinsurgency against Wudu'er, and then in the battle launched by His Highness, he didn't even have a chance to counterattack, so he was captured by his subordinates to His Highness. After that, he became extremely cautious, he had to do everything himself, and he would be thoughtful in all aspects, Li Yuan took a fancy to him, so he handed over Fufeng County, which has two important passes, to him to guard. Therefore, the last general thought that he could take advantage of his temperament. ”

"Then why did General Huang think it was the place to break the enemy?"

"The friends of Chen Cangshan and Wuzhang Plain!"

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

……

After entering the middle of the night, the heavy rain that the people had been waiting for suddenly came, adding some vitality to the land of Guanzhong.

The official residence of Fufeng Yongxian was brilliantly lit, and outside, a row of soldiers in strong armor patrolled back and forth, they walked back and forth, and there were a lot of troops.

In the official residence, Li Shuliang was looking at the map, his spirit was very tired, his eyes were red, and his eyes were full of worry.

Now the situation is very clear, the Sui army has launched an attack on Li Tang from many directions, the Sui army is divided into two with Fufeng Dazhen Pass and Sanguan as the boundary, the West Road army is headed by Li Jing, with a total of 150,000 troops, and nearly 100,000 Turkic slave soldiers, killing Li Tang's main force, Li Shimin's troops lost the city and lost the land, and even the Great Earthquake Pass and the Scattered Pass can not be approached, Li Shimin fought a decisive battle with the Sui army in Taoyang County, Lintao County yesterday, at a critical moment, Liang Luoren and other generals led more than 10,000 elite rebels against the Tang Dynasty, opened the east gate of Taoyang, and welcomed Qin Qiong's tens of thousands of troops into the cityAfter a scuffle, the city of Taoyang was broken, and Li Shimin, who had an army of more than 200,000 troops, was defeated, and fled to Danchang County with more than 50,000 defeated troops, and was chased by the Sui cavalry to Changfen Pass in Tangchang, there were only more than 10,000 people left, and the rest were all surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, and the main force that Chang'an pinned on was completely finished.

Although Li Shuliang did not know what was going on in Chang'an, it was said that the Sui army on the eastern front led by Yang Tong also had more than 200,000 troops, and there was a steady stream of troops crossing the river from Hedong.

He was powerless to support Chang'an, and the only thing he could do was to recruit the young men of the whole county, and do his best to defend the Great Earthquake Pass and the Scattered Pass, so as to prevent the Sui army from entering the pass from the second pass. If the Sui Army's Eastern and Western Second Armies meet, there will be three or four hundred thousand army corps Chang'an, and no matter how much the Tang Army tosses, Guanzhong and the Li Tang Dynasty will be hopeless. Therefore, the Erguan under his control has become the lifeblood of the Li Tang Dynasty, as long as the Sui Dynasty's Western Route Army is blocked, then Chang'an still has a glimmer of life, and it can also hold on to Bashu and Jingzhou to reinforce the army.

It was just a piece of news in the evening that made him very worried, because a soldier came to report that the Sui army launched a fierce offensive against the Great Earthquake Pass from the side of Tianshui County. Although the Great Earthquake Pass is dangerous, if it is like Xue Wanjun's attack on Xiangwu regardless of casualties, the Great Earthquake Pass will fall sooner or later, and in desperation, he has to let Guo Xiaoke lead 5,000 elite support. And Xue Wanjun's madman is now blocked outside Sanguan Pass, and he still has tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers in his hands, if he launches a deadly attack on Sanguan, what should he do?

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" At this moment, a guard hurried in.

"What?" Li Shuliang Huo Ran got up.

"The scouts sent information that there were 20,000 Sui cavalry attacking Jingzhao Wugong and Xukuo County, and entering Fufeng along Weishui."

"And then?"

"After the warm water, they headed southwest."

"What?" Li Shuliang's face changed greatly, and he said: "The Sui army is trying to open the Sanguan from the inside out to welcome Xue Wanjun into the pass. ”

"The prince begs the prince, do you want to gather an army?"

Li Shuliang squinted at the dark night sky, and he resolutely ordered: "Pass the order, immediately gather 40,000 troops, and gallop to the aid of Sanguan overnight!" Let the descendants guard Yongxian on my behalf. ”

"Whoa!"

The order was issued, and in about a moment, 40,000 Tang troops quickly assembled, and Li Shuliang personally led the army south in the rain.

The sky gradually brightened, the army hurried to the vicinity of Chencang Mountain in Chencang County, which was less than 100 miles away from Sanguan, Li Shuliang saw that the soldiers could no longer run, in order to maintain the strength of the first battle, issued an order to rest on the spot, the Tang army ran for half a night in the rainy night, was already tired and hungry, and ordered to choose a place to rest.

"Kill !!"

At this time, but seeing the arrows flying sideways on both sides of the mountain range, the Tang army continued to dodge in panic, looking at the Great Sui soldiers who had rushed down on both sides, one by one, their faces were pale, there were ambushes here?

As more and more arrows swept in, the entire Chencang Mountain several miles of mountain roads became a Jedi of death, and the miserable wails made people feel frightened, especially the piles of Tang soldiers who relied on closing their eyes to rest, they simply became live targets.

In the war, the morale of the soldiers is the most critical, as the so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, since Yongxian sent troops to this, the soldiers and physical strength of the Tang Army, energy has already reached a limit of collapse, the order to rest arrived, everyone relaxed, all kinds of soreness all poured up, at this moment the Tang Army is the slightest strength to fight back.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the war horse surged out of the jungle like a tide, the frenzied horse's hooves trampled on the corpses on the ground, splashing the rain of flesh and blood, the violent killing machine was raging, Su Dingfang, who was in the forefront, pierced the chest of a frightened lieutenant, rode through, pulled out the piercing big knife from the back of the captain, and continued to rush forward indifferently.

A massacre broke out.

Blood splattered in the flash of the knife, and corpses fell to the ground, wailing one after another.

In the shout of "those who surrender will not be killed", a large number of Tang troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

"Escort the prince out of the encirclement!" Li Shuliang's anxious voices rang out one after another.

"Capture Li Shuliang alive and reward a thousand gold!" Su Dingfang's cold voice suddenly sounded.

"Kill!"

Hearing this, the sound of killing became more intense, and they had been waiting here for an hour or so, completely taking advantage of all kinds of advantages, and the defeated Tang army could not stop it at all, and the north and south passages were intercepted.

After the battle lasted for about a stick of incense, the valley of Chencang Mountain was littered with corpses, and the sides of the valley were squatted with Tang troops holding their heads in their hands.

Su Dingfang held a big knife in his hand and rushed to the place where Li Shuliang, who was besieged by more than 1,000 people.

"General Li, we're meeting again." Su Dingfang looked at Li Shuliang, whose face was as pale as paper, and a trace of sigh flashed in his eyes.

"It turns out that your goal is not to disperse, but to defend Yongxian." Li Shuliang had a hint of hatred in his eyes, and Su Dingfang appeared here, making him understand that the other party was deliberately leaking his whereabouts, and taking advantage of his heart to lure him out and send him to death! After the annihilation of the main force of Fufeng, whether it is a big earthquake pass or a scattered pass, it will face enemies inside and outside, how can it be defended?

Su Dingfang said: "General Li, this is no longer important!" Fufeng is over, Guanzhong is over, and Li Tang is also over. Give up your sword and throw in the towel. ”

Li Shuliang shook his head, smiled desolately, and said in a loud voice: "Although I, Li Shuliang, am incompetent, even if I die, I don't need the mercy of the enemy. ”

"Li Yuan is not the master of the Ming, why should the general be like this?"

"Losing is losing, why do you insult me?" After Li Shuliang finished speaking, he drew the saber at his waist.

"Lord Wang!" The guards next to him knelt down, their faces full of sadness.

Li Shuliang wiped it lightly, and the blood immediately splashed up from his throat, and the whole person held the long sword and fell heavily to the ground, this King of Li Tang Changping, although his talent was limited, but even if he was defeated, he did not lose the pride of the Li Tang clan.

Seeing this, dozens of guards also killed themselves with swords.

At this time, Huang Junhan came over and admired: "Li Shuliang can calmly judge himself, he is a great hero!" The Admiral thought he should be given the proper manners. ”

"Put away his remains, please make a decision on your Highness!" Su Dingfang sighed regretfully, and then said: "We have more important things to do at the moment. ”

Huang Junhan nodded and said: "The general is very right, our army should take advantage of the momentum of a great victory, disperse the troops, recruit the Tang army, let General Xue Wanjun enter the pass, and then recover Fufeng." ”

"It's not!"

"That's ......" Huang Junhan was puzzled.

"Haha! It is to give good news to His Highness. Su Dingfang laughed and said: "Li Tang's general trend has gone, the Western Route Army has entered the customs, and the soldiers will deter Chang'an, and they can go down without a fight." Guanzhong is recovered, and His Royal Highness can ascend the throne as emperor. Isn't this a big joy? ”
