Chapter 144: Qu Tutong

The gap in the city was opened, and the follow-up soldiers rushed up one after another, even though there were still many defenders in Yongfengcang who were desperately counterattacking, but this was to no avail.

"Alas!" Li Shentong didn't have the intention of sticking to Yongfengcang, and seeing that he was powerless to return to the sky, he had to sigh, take his personal guards, and leave by boat from the small boat that had been prepared in the back.

The battle did not last long, and when the head of the city was taken and the gates were opened, they found that there were no guards under their command, and they surrendered one after another.

It's not that Li Shentong is unwilling to destroy the grain in Yongfeng Cang, but he can't do it, the six major granaries of the Sui Dynasty have hoarded countless grains, but this granary is built underground.

First choose a dry place, dig a huge cellar, dry it with fire, and then pile up the chaff, and then spread the bamboo mat, it can be said that it is very moisture-proof, and when it is one meter from the ground, it is also sealed with a bamboo mat, isolated by grain bran, sealed with soil, a reduced warehouse, almost the size of a football field, which is basically hollowing out a mountain of soil to build a huge warehouse isolated out.

Therefore, if you want to completely destroy these grains, you can't do it without huge manpower, and Li Shentong doesn't have the time to do it.

This Yongfeng warehouse was once occupied by Yang Xuangan, and Li Yuan occupied it for a while, but the consumption of grain and grass was not even one-third, and when Zou Yu found out about this, he was already smiling from ear to ear.

"Congratulations to the General! Yongfeng Cang is in hand, and our army no longer has to worry about food and grass. Li Keshi said with a smile on his face.

"Haha! Now Li Yuan's back road is cut off, see what he does! Zou Yu said happily.

"Li Yuan is about the support of the family, there is no worry about food and grass in a short time, Daxing and Taicang, as long as Daxing is taken, he doesn't have to worry about occupying Guanzhong, after all, the land of the four wars in the state is not much, the population is not much, it is nothing to him, we have to guard against the Turks in our hands, maybe Li Yuan is even more pleased." Li Keshi shook his head and said.

"Enter the customs as soon as possible, notify the Tongguan guards, and hand over Tongguan!" Zou Yu ordered.

"My subordinates have already asked people to inform the Tongguan guards, but this Jinyang has always been behind him, and if he doesn't take it down, it's like choking in his throat." Li Keshi frowned.

"But Jinyang City has thick walls, and if you want to knock it down, it can't be done in a short time, the key is that we are short of manpower." Zou Yu still feels a headache, with such a nail in the back, it is really difficult to do.

"Hedong Wei General Qu Tutong still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but he was dragged by Li Shimin, it is better to relieve the siege of General Qu Tutong first, and then return to the division to attack Jinyang." Li Keshi suggested.

"The solution is good, but I'm worried that Daxing won't be able to drag on for that long." Zou Yu frowned.

"The general is very worried, but from the perspective of his subordinates, this is not a big xing." Li Keshi said in a low voice.

"Uncle Li, why is this?" Zou Yu was shocked in his heart and asked in a low voice.

"The imperial court has sunset, Guanzhong, and the Guanlong family have abandoned the emperor, and the Guanzhong family is too powerful, even if Daxing is taken, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold." Li Keshi was very pleased with Zou Yu's Uncle Li, and continued to analyze for him.

"Then Daxing won't go?"

"No, you have to go, and you have to go with great fanfare, but you can't bring too many people, you have to seize the opportunity, you have to enter Daxing before Li Yuan, and lead the acting king Yang Yu to escape, so that Li Yuan can't get the righteousness!" Li Keshi said.

"Hmm!" Zou Yu nodded, and couldn't help but show a smile, he had already imagined the embarrassment of Li Yuan attacking Daxing and finding that there was no acting king Yang Yu.

You must know that Li Yuan's slogan for raising troops is to support the acting king Yang Yu, respect Jiangdu Yang Guang as the emperor, don't underestimate such a name, there is no acting king Yang Yun, then Li Yuan's identity as a rebel will be confirmed, whether it is the Guanlong family or the Guanzhong family, if you want to support Li Yuan, you need to worry about one or two, and it will not be so blatant.

On the contrary, his identity is above board, in the hands of the king Yang Yu, and when Yang Guang dies, he can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to conquer the Quartet with the reputation of righteousness.

"The subordinates are guarding Yongfengcang, and the general will lead the cavalry, first relieve the siege of the general Qu Tutong, and then enter the pass." Li Keshi then suggested.

That's fine, just move, Zou Yu still has 5,000 cavalry under his command, and there is no need to mobilize Qin Qiong, just let Xue Wanliang go to Jinyang with 10,000 foot soldiers, change Qin Qiong's people to Tongguan, just wait for himself to come back, and then enter the customs together.

Li Shimin in Hedong originally only had more than 10,000 soldiers, but with the strength of the family, it slowly increased to 40,000, and he did not fight Qu Tutong, but kept dragging it, so that Qu Tutong had no time to take care of Guanzhong.

Li Yuan only brought 6,000 people, passed through Longmen, crossed the Yellow River, and the people of the family also joined him one after another, and the troops began to increase and more, advancing all the way, and the counties along the way surrendered without a fight.

Li Yuan's third daughter, Li Xiuning, led his subordinates Li Zhongwen and He Panren to also attack everywhere, and most of the entire Guanzhong has fallen into Li Yuan's hands.

Hedong City!

"Zou Changfeng has seen the old general Qu Tu." Zou Yu hugged his fist and saluted Qu Tutong, who had white hair.

"Haha, Qu Tutong has seen the general!" Qu Tutong laughed and returned the salute warmly.

"The march was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to report to the old general first, please forgive me."

"Where, where, it is to serve the court to quell the rebellion, why care about the details." Although Qu Tutong is older, he is burly, tall, full of momentum, and speaks very loudly, and is quite polite to Zou Yu.

"Thank you for your understanding!"

"Speaking of which, it should be the old man who thanks the general." Qu Tutong said with a smile.

"Why did the old general say this?" Zou Yu asked puzzled.

"Last year, a clansman came to Daxing and told the old man that now all the clansmen have gone down the mountain, live in the city, live very well, and send dozens of winter clothes to the old man, which is indeed very warm." Qu Tutong explained with a smile.

"Clansmen?" Zou Yu looked at Qu Tutong in confusion.

"Haha, the old man is from the Xi tribe, some people in the tribe followed me to the Central Plains, most of them are still in the mountains, the old man has always wanted to make the clansmen have a better life, but he didn't do it, and now the general has done it, shouldn't the old man thank you." Qu Tutong said with a hearty smile.

"Ahh It turns out that this is the case, but the old general is serious, and the soldiers of the Xi clan have helped me a lot, and they have been born and died, so that they can live a good life, isn't this what it should be. ”

Every year, in addition to selling woolen clothes to everyone normally, a part of the top products will be rewarded to people with merit, presumably Qu Tutong said this, but he didn't expect him to be a Xi person, and after listening to his explanation, Zou Yu suddenly realized.

"If you want to get it, you naturally need to pay, at least the general didn't treat them as outsiders and let them deliberately send them to death." Qu Tutong said seriously.
