Chapter 093: Hedong is blocked
The Battle of Mayi!
A generation of Tianjiao Shibi Khan was defeated and killed by his younger brother Tong Lifushe, who was canonized as Chuluo Khan by Yang Tong, the king of Qin of the Great Sui, and led the remnants of the army to retreat north, representing the Turks to bow down to the Great Sui again!
Of the more than 300,000 horsemen who entered Komayi, except for the more than 38,000 people who were loyal to the new khan, the rest died.
No one escaped.
Yang Tong occupied the Shibi camp and the southern Khanting, rescued more than 400,000 captured people, obtained countless money, and countless cattle, sheep and horses!
The Sui army is victorious!
Then, Yang Tong named Ashnasimo as the Khan of Tuli and temporarily lived in the southern Khan's court.
However, the third son of Qimin Khan, Ashina Dubi, was dissatisfied with the second brother's ascension to the throne, and led his tribe to move north to Beihai, calling himself Jieli Khan, refusing to recognize the position of the Great Khan of Lifu, and the Turks were once again divided internally.
The powerful Turkic Empire, founded by the Khan of Qimin, declined after the Battle of Mayi. Like the Great Sui, the Turks also moved towards an era of hegemony.
And Yang Tong, who single-handedly led the Battle of Mayi and the Three Turks, didn't have time to be happy, so he got the news of Yu Culture and the Jiangdu Change!
Hear the tragic death of Yang Guang, Yang Gao's father and son, and Yang Yichen!
Yang Tong, who thought he would not be sentimental, had a blocked throat, his nostrils seemed to be breathable, tears flowed down involuntarily, and he had a strong urge to cry loudly......
"And ......"
Fang Xuanling said: "After Yu Wenhua and launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, King Yan was supported by hundreds of officials in Luoyang to ascend the throne, called Emperor Tai, posthumously Emperor Xian as Emperor Ming, temple number Shizu, posthumously Prince Yuande as Emperor Xiaocheng, and Concubine Liu as the Empress Dowager. With Duan Da as the Nayan, the right Yiwei general, the acting civil department of Shangshu, Wang Shichong also served as Nayan, Zuo Yiwei general, acting officials Shangshu, Yuan Wendu as the internal history order, Zuo Xiaowei general, Lu Chu also served as the internal history order, Huangfu Wuyi served as the military department secretary, right Wuwei general, Guo Wenyi served as the internal history squire, Zhao Changwen served as the Huangmen squire......"
Yang Tong wiped away the tears on his face: "I'm afraid of hard work, but I made a wedding dress for others." It doesn't matter! ”
Fang Xuanling sneered: "I'm afraid it was forced by those people in Luoyang!" ”
Yang Tong said: "After the martyrdom of the emperor's grandfather and Uncle Zhao, the Great Sui has existed in name only, and there are many people who want to be called lonely. Brother Yan Wang ordered not to leave Luoyang, what does it mean to be the emperor? He likes to be, so be! How is the acting king? ”
"The situation of the acting king is very difficult, after Li Yuanjiu could not capture Hedong County, where General Qu Tutong was sitting, he ordered his second son Li Shimin to cross the Yellow River first, and Heyang, Fengyi County, Guanzhong, has been lost! General Zuo Yiwei led an army of 30,000 troops to garrison Chengcheng, and he couldn't hold on to Li Shimin! ”
"Yin Shishi is shrewd and capable, loyal to the Great Sui, not only dug Li Yuan's ancestral grave, but also beheaded Li Yuan's son Li Zhiyun and more than 200 members of the Li family in front of Li Shimin!"
Yang Tong cried and laughed: "This guy is so ruthless, he doesn't even let go of the dead." ”
Fang Xuanling said: "I think this is General Wei's idea!" ”
Yang Tong nodded silently.
His father-in-law Wei Xuan is a veteran of digging people's ancestral graves.
When Yang Xuangan rebelled, he besieged the eastern capital of Luoyang. Yang Yu sent Wei Xuan to lead 70,000 infantry and cavalry to rescue Luoyang. After Wei Xuanjun arrived in Huayin, he dug up the grave of Yang Su, the father of Yang Xuangan, burned his bones and bulldozed his ancestors......
The Yin World Master's methods are the same as Wei Xuan's back then, if there is no support from Wei Xuan, the Yin World Master probably will not do this.
Wei Xuan's hand is too spicy. He is the way to surrender to the Yin World Master, even if the Yin World Master surrenders now, Li Yuan will not let him go!! The only way is to fight Li Yuan to the death.
But Yin Shishi has been serving as the palace guard for more than 20 years, and he is only talking on paper about leading troops to fight, so how can such a person be the opponent of Li Shimin's genius?
"What about the acting king and the old general Wei? Where is it now? ”
"The acting king came to Hedong County in person to boost morale! After the news of the martyrdom of the saint and the queen going north, she and the crown princess retreated into Hanoi and were heading to Zhuo County... General Wei led an army of 40,000 to stay in Chang'an..."
Yang Tong sighed: "It seems that General Wei is planning to coexist with Chang'an......"
Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "What are Your Highness's plans now?" Is it to fight Taiyuan, or to go back to Zhuo County! ”
"I'll go back to Zhuo County, meet the emperor's grandmother, and hold a funeral for the emperor's grandfather and Uncle Zhao......" Yang Tong looked at the ice and snow outside, and said: "Pharmacist, you lead the main army to the south to rest and recuperate, and try to relieve the pressure on Qu Tutong!" ”
Li Jing awe-inspiring answered:
Fang Xuanling said: "But I don't know what arrangements His Highness has for the three counties of Mayi, Yanmen, and Loufu?" ”
Yang Tong said: "Xue Wanshu is the county guard of Mayi, and Gao Junya is the county guard; Wang Wei was annoyed by the Yanmen County Guard and the Hejian County Guard, Wang Cong's transfer to Shilou...... Hit Li Yuan again after the beginning of spring! ”
……
Outside Hedong City!
Li Yuan's Chinese army camp!
Li Yuan was pacing with his hands behind his back in the big tent, his brows locked into the word 'one', there was already an urgent report from Taiyuan! Yang Tong not only did not die, but annihilated the more than 300,000 troops of Shibi outside the Mayi Killing Tiger Pass, and also defeated the Khan Court in southern Turkic. The new Turkic Khan, Chu Luo Khan, once again represented the Turks as a vassal to the Great Sui.
Li Yuan walked to the door of the tent, and couldn't help but glance outside the tent, Hedong City was clearly visible in the distance, which made him sigh.
Hedong City was defended like an iron bucket by Qu Tutong, and he besieged it for nearly a month, suffering heavy casualties, but Hedong City stood majestically. In the face of the defense of the famous general Qu Tutong, in addition to besieging most of his troops in Hedong City, Li Yuan was indeed at a loss, and more importantly, he couldn't afford to delay the time, he had already gotten the news.
The Great Sui army, under the leadership of Li Jing, conquered Fenyang County, Taiyuan, and nearly 70,000 troops were stationed in Mujing City, resting and recuperating while building siege equipment.
At the same time, Yang Shanhui clamped Li Jiancheng and Li Xiaogong in Lucheng, Shangdang County, and Xue Wanshu, and Wang Wei went north to capture the four counties of Liaoshan, Pingcheng, Heshun, and Leping in Taiyuan County.
The three formed a whole, occupied the eastern territory of the Taiyuan group, and deterred Taiyuan City from the north, east, and south respectively!
After completing the strategic encirclement, the Sui army, with Su Dingfang and Xue Wanjun as the main generals, took Yushe, Xiangxian and Jiashui counties of Shangdang County without blood, forcing Li Jiancheng and Li Xiaogong to move!
Li Yuanji's distress letters from Li Yuanji, who was sitting in Taiyuan, were sent like snowflakes every day, and if he didn't conquer Hedong County, he would definitely fall into a desperate situation! Once spring opens and the Yellow River thaws, he can only be eaten alive by Sui Junsheng.
Internal and external troubles have made Li Yuan a kind of embattled prisoner situation! The only way for him to survive now is to open the stalemate from Hedong City!
But Hedong City is famous for its tallness and solidity in the Central Plains, and Yang Liang's army could not capture this city back then, and what is even more powerful is that there is a well-defended Qu Tutong in the fortified city!
'What to do?' ’
Li Yuan was very anxious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, at this time, there was a sound of running outside the tent, and then his own soldiers reported outside the tent, "General Qiyu, General Dugu is in a hurry to see!" ”
Li Yuan nodded, "Come in!" ”
A moment later, Dugu Huaien walked in quickly.
Li Yuan glanced at Dugu Huai'en, and reluctantly smiled: "Huai'en, is there something wrong?" ”
Dugu Huaien said: "I came to take the east of the river." ”
Li Yuan's spirits perked up: "Is there any way?" ”
Dugu Huaien handed a letter to Li Yuan, "This is a letter from the head of the family, and the general will know it at a glance." ”
It's actually a letter from Dugu?
Li Yuan looked at it in confusion, and his eyes lit up: "But really? ”
Dugu Huaien nodded and said: "Absolutely no problem, our Dugu family will always be loyal, as long as I can enter Hedong City, I will definitely be able to take Hedong City." ”
"Good!"
Li Yuan had a plan in mind, so he ordered: "Order Changsun Shunde to lead an army of 20,000 to cross the river and attack Pujin Pass, and the rest of the army will follow me to attack Tongguan." ”
Li Yuan withdrew from the siege of Hedong City and personally led a large army south to attack Tongguan, leaving only a small part of the army to the eldest grandson Shunde.
