In order to put pressure on Li Yuan, 70,000 Turkic cavalry under the leadership of Ashina Simo, from Lingwu County to the south, launched an offensive against Li Rail's old nest Wuwei County, at this time Li Rail's main force is attacking Xue Ju in the whole army, the rear is empty, the Turkic army to kill Li Rail to withdraw in panic, give up the siege of Xue Ju, in the middle of the road by Ashina Simo annihilated more than 30,000 people, fled to Xiping, Ashina Simo chased relentlessly, attacked Xiping, Li Rail was forced to retreat into Zhangye County. At the same time, Xue Wanjun led another 50,000 Turkic troops and took Huining County.

Xue Ju took advantage of the situation to counterattack, defeated Wang Junkuo in Longxi County, killed more than two Tang troops, the morale of the Western Qin army was high, and the soldiers were divided into two ways to kill the 20,000 Tang troops stationed in Xiangxian County and Xiangwu County, Wang Junkuo was unable to support it alone, and was forced to retreat to Tianshui County Guanzhong, the Western Qin army was full of energy, recovered Longxi County and Jincheng County, and Xue Wanjun joined forces in Tianshui County, attacked Li Shimin's headquarters, annihilated the main Tang army of more than 30,000 slaves, and launched an offensive to the Great Earthquake Pass.

The 40,000 troops of the Liang Division's army, led by Liang Luoren and Xin Fang'er respectively, marched from Pingliang County to Anding County, and took Ding'an County along the north and south of Jingshui.

At the same time, another cavalry of the Sui army, under the leadership of Xue Wanche, marched from Shangjun to Beidi County, marched along the Meridian Mountain to Guanzhong, conquered Ding'an City, and three days later, besieged Xinping County with Liang Luoren.

And Li Jing led his troops south, entered Jingzhao Yijun County, and planned to lure Dou Kang out of the city and annihilate more than 30,000 elites!

Dangerous situations appeared in the west, northwest, and north at the same time, and Guanzhong was shaken, and the people were panicked, and the grim situation made Li Yuan anxious.

The four porters stopped in the Wude Hall Square with the Yu on their shoulders, and a guard carefully helped Dugu out of the Yu.

Dugu's face was expressionless, his eyes revealed a strong dissatisfaction, he was deeply dissatisfied with Li Yuan, he thought that Li Yuan's foundation was unstable, so he spread the stall so big, which caused the water to leak on all sides now.

Although he also agreed with Li Yuan to fight for Bashu, where there was no big force, so as to seek a new grain-producing place for Guanzhong, Li Yuan patted his chest and assured him that he could guarantee that there would be no accident in Guanzhong on the premise of defeating Xue Ju, but Guanzhong is now in danger on three sides except for the south......

Dugu felt the need to have a good talk with Li Yuan.

Inside the side hall!

Li Yuan was having an urgent discussion with Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng, and the grim situation made Li Yuan lose a lot of weight, and his gray hair grew a lot.

"Although Xue Ju is attacking the Great Earthquake Pass, but his early losses are too great, as long as we stick to the Great Earthquake Pass, it will not be long before Xue Ju will retreat, I don't doubt this, so Xue Ju is mainly defensive, don't take it too seriously, his next step will be to rest, attack Li Rail, in order to avenge an arrow; As for Liang Shidu, it was more of a gesture made by the Sui army! ”

This is the conclusion that Li Yuan has come to after thinking for a long time, Li Yuan, as the leader of one party, has a vision that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and sees the problem more thoroughly, so his idea is not unreasonable. In this way, three went to two, and only the strongest Sui army remained.

Li Jiancheng saw that his father was silent for a long time, knowing what he was worried about, and said in a deep voice: "This is obviously a war led by the Northern Sui, if the Sui army does not retreat, this battlefield will not end; Even without Xue Ju and Liang Shidu, the Sui army could continue to fight the war. If we can't figure out the true intentions of the Sui army, we don't know how to deal with it and how to talk about it. ”

I have to say that Li Jiancheng got to the point, because the Sui army dispatched 150,000 troops this time, as well as 100,000 Turkic soldiers, a total of 250,000 elite forces, and they are definitely not here to play, the Sui army knows that Li Tang's army is not enough to follow-up, can it let go of this opportunity to seize Guanzhong?

Li Yuan rubbed his eyebrows, he had a terrible headache! The 250,000 elite army is definitely not here to see the scenery of Guanzhong. And if the Sui army does not leave, the war will not end, and Guanzhong will not be stable. I can't figure out the true intentions of the Sui army, and I can't even talk about negotiations!

I have to say that due to the appearance of Yang Tong, Li Yuan is ten thousand times more difficult than in history, Li Yuan in history ascended the throne as the emperor immediately after Yang Guang's death, and then dominated the world with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, the fundamental reason is not how strong the Tang army led by Li Yuan is, but his enemies are too wasteful, either Xue Ju, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Du Fuwei This kind of half-crippled bandits, or Yu Wenhua, Wang Shichong This kind of half-crippled rebellious ministers and thieves, so Li Yuan can reunify the world in a short period of time, But now with the unexpected existence of Yang Tong, Li Yuan has been in a predicament since the beginning, not to mention dominating the world, even Guanlong cannot be unified, and there is only one Guanzhong in the territory, and he is always threatened by Yang Dong.

Liu Wenjing said slowly: "The minister thinks that the Sui army is also posing, and has no intention of beating us to death. ”

Liu Wenjing's words, like a beautiful note, made Li Yuan listen to the sounds of heaven, and asked anxiously: "Zhaoren, how can this be seen?" ”

To be honest, Li Yuan is really desperate!

"This is also a clue from Yang Dong's ruling thoughts." Liu Wenjing said in a deep voice: "Through Yang Dong's ruling thoughts, we can see his intentions, he intends to use the chaos to overthrow all the old family lords and scholars, and end up since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the family controls the status quo of the court and the place, so as to pass on the victory of Guozuo!" This is a continuation of Yang Guang's thoughts, but Yang Tong is more ruthless than Yang Guang, Yang Guang just used the Goguryeo War to consume the strength of the Guanlong elite army and cut off its wings, and Yang Tong directly waved the butcher's knife to the family gate, in order to achieve this extremely crazy purpose, only by completely destroying the whole world, can the implementation of various policies benefiting the people be successfully implemented. ”

"Yang Tong's ideal Guanzhong is not a stable Guanzhong, but a Guanzhong without a rooster crow for a hundred miles, because if Guanzhong is stable, he will lose the reason to wave the butcher's knife at the Guanlong magnates, and kill people indiscriminately without an excuse, and the world will definitely continue to be chaotic." Liu Wenjing's eyes flashed, and he sighed: "To put it mildly, the enemy in Yang Tong's heart is not the saint, but the Guanlong magnates!" He needs the saint to guide him, and then pull Guan Long's magnates to the surface one by one, and finally be able to destroy them in one fell swoop with a legitimate reason. To put it bluntly, Yang Tong feels that it is not the time to attack the saint, and this is our reliance. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded suddenly, his face was very calm, and his eyes were a little ethereal.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Although I was despised by Yang Tong and used as a knife, I, Li Yuan, am not so easy to bully." The more this happens, the less I will let him get his way. ”

Li Jiancheng finally couldn't help but say: "But father, if this continues, it will be more and more unfavorable to us." ”

"You mean the Guanlong magnates." Li Yuan is not a stupid person, and he suddenly heard the key meaning.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "The Guanlong magnates can support my Li family, or they can support others, and they can't see hope......"

Before he finished speaking, a guard reported at the door: "Holy Lord, Dugu Xiangguo asks to see!" ”

"Let him in!"

Li Yuan did not dare to slack off on Dugu Quan, who was not only his uncle, but also one of his biggest supporters at present.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing, and said with a wry smile: "The pressure is coming, you two should retreat first!" ”

"Whoa!"

The two stood up and saluted, and withdrew.
