Chapter 763: Pingyang (2)

"The enemy has crossed the river, the army is very strong, Li Shenfu lined up by the river, there was a slight setback, and now he has retreated to Feng Yi...... Regardless of the strength of the army and the talents of all people, they are not able to fight for a long time, so I hope to go to the aid as soon as possible, otherwise...... I'm afraid something will happen. ”

"Feng Yi is the gateway of Guanzhong, if you lose, Guanzhong will be shaken, and you will be worried about losing all the plates, so don't take risks...... I will pass the book to Chang'an, Tongguan, Hancheng, please gather soldiers to deal with the enemy, and hope that everyone is at this critical moment of life and death, with national affairs as the priority, and the same difficulty. ”

Back in Yongfengcang, Li Xiuning immediately wrote a letter, handed it to Chu Suiliang, and sternly admonished: "You pass on the letter to the eldest grandson Wuji, if this battle is defeated, under the nest, all my Li clan relatives will be rested, don't be lucky, treat it lightly." ”

Chu Suiliang Nuonuo continued to speak, when he left Yongfeng Cang, he was a little reluctant, but also a little more relaxed, and the reluctance was that after this farewell, he didn't know when he would be able to see the princess again.

And easy, that's easy to understand, the Jin army has already crossed the river, and the enemy's trace in Yongfengcang is only in a moment, one step first, he can be one step away from danger, he doesn't want to be caught again, like a gift in front of people.

As for the outcome of this battle, he was a little more pessimistic than Li Xiuning, because he had been by the river for a long time, and he was a confidant of the King of Qin, so he knew a little bit about the situation everywhere.

He admires Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang very much, in such a short period of time, not only can he personally lead his subordinates to the enemy, but also can distinguish the enemy's situation, and want to persuade all departments to resist the strong enemy, but unfortunately, the Yongfeng Cang defenders are the weakest of the riverside departments, and there are no soldiers and no generals, how many people can listen to what they say?

If it weren't for the huge difference in the identities of the two, and the fact that Her Royal Highness the princess was very assertive, he would definitely say something and persuade her to go back to Chang'an to avoid it, and not to take risks lightly.

Not to mention Chu Suiliang's careful thinking, Li Xiuning was uneasy at this time, and she was panicked, but she greatly disappointed Chu Suiliang's evaluation of her.

"Go, summon Li Sima to come to me."

After a long time in the hall, Li Xiuning gave an order, of course, the Li Sima she summoned was not the Li Sima of the Pingyang Princess Mansion.

After a while, one person came to Li Xiuning and bowed.

The person who came was thirty years old, the color of wind and frost was quite strong, and he had a short beard, so he looked very old, his body was grown, and the traces of military service were very heavy.

This person's name is Li Daliang, who is famous in the world for his words, and is currently Sima of Jinzhou, and concurrently serves as the Yongfeng Cangshou, which can be described as two positions that cannot be beaten by eight poles.

Li Daliang is a native of Longxi, a serious Li family, but he is a little far away from Li Yuan's branch.

However, Li Daliang is indeed a member of the Guanxi Shivalve, but his luck is not very good, first in the former Sui Prison Gate Zhige, and now the Zuo Wuwei general Pang Yu listened to the order, and then followed Wang Shichong to suppress bandits in Henan, and was captured by Li Mi.

The people who were captured with him were all slaughtered, maybe because he behaved strangely and was calmer or something, or because of his family background, he didn't die anyway, but became the staff of Zhang Bi, the general of Li Mi's department.

Later, Li Mitu was poor, and he came to the west to descend to the Tang Dynasty, and Li Daliang followed, because he was born in the Li family in Longxi, he was quite taken care of, and he was not as suspicious as others, and then served as the county magistrate of Tumen County.

The person who rolled out of the ghost place in Henan must have a three-point demonic spirit, and in only two years, his reputation spread to the ears of the thirsty King Qin, and then he was transferred to Jinzhou Sima.

And Jinzhou is an important place for grain and grass transshipment, and it is necessary for Li Daliang to be supervised by Li relatives, so Li Daliang's future is gradually improving, and he escorted grain and grass to Yongfeng Cang when he was last year.

"Sit."

After he sat down, Li Xiuning asked, "I guess you already know that the enemy army has already crossed the river, and it won't be long before we can see the sun, moon and stars flag." ”

Li Daliang, who had dark and rough skin and didn't look like a nobleman at all, looked up at Her Royal Highness the Princess, and admired it in his heart.

The enemy army is close at hand, there are no soldiers and no generals in a place like Yongfeng Cang, and there is no danger to defend, in this case, you can still be calm, not to mention a woman, even a man should think about which horse in the warehouse is faster, right? Instead of leading a few hundred people out, he wanted to kill the enemy for the king of Xiangyi County.

It's not an exaggeration to say a woman in the middle of the road, and now you can still joke a few words, tsk...... is worthy of being a Kansai daughter.

As for the goddamn sun, moon and star flags, how many enemies there are, whether it is Li Ding'an, the king of the Han Dynasty, or someone else, Li Daliang feels that it is nothing.

He is used to fighting in Henan, and the thinking of those grass kings in Henan is actually about the same, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you will escape, if you can't escape, you will surrender, and the most unfortunate person will be caught, with his experience, a small person like him, and a Guanxi nobleman, no one will cut off his head without asking.

But this princess, once captured, the scene may be a little embarrassing, well, I heard ...... I don't know if it's true.

Li Xiuning didn't know that in her eyes, she was a quasi-henchman who was silent, but she had something in her words, and her mental activities had always been active, but she was not as honest as she looked.

"You have also been in the army for many years and know about the military, so you might as well tell me and listen to it, how should we deal with today's urgent situation?"

Li Daliang is naturally different from Chu Suiliang, he has no foundation in Guanxi, that is, he is not a subordinate of King Qin, nor is he a princeling, if he is more serious, he only received a little favor from King Qin, so he has no scruples when he speaks.

"In the last general's shallow view, His Royal Highness's daughter's body, not lightly involved in danger, should return to Beijing as soon as possible, the last general is not talented, willing to defend Yongfeng, and fight with the enemy."

Li Xiuning smiled, this kind of suggestion was not unexpected by her, and after being a little disappointed, she couldn't help but think in her heart, if Pharmacist Li was here, what kind of statement would it be?

"I am the princess of Pingyang, leading the power of Qianniuwei, now out of the town of Yongfeng Okura, never in battle, first returned to Beijing for refuge, everyone heard, which one is willing to fight to the death with the enemy?"

When Li Daliang heard this, his tone was very wrong, and he couldn't help but think of the murderous faces of those ancestors in Henan, and his heart trembled at first.

"Your Highness, calm your anger...... His Royal Highness is well versed in military affairs, and should know that the key points of the siege are waiting for reinforcements, and now the riverside soldiers are gathered, Feng Yi is the first to bear the brunt, if there is grain and grass in Yongfeng Cang, it is even more than Feng Yi, but now Yongfeng Cang is exhausted of grain, and it is no obstacle to abandon it in the overall situation. ”

"But if Her Royal Highness the princess is here, the enemy army will come to hear the wind, and if the princess is here, whether it is Feng Yi, Tongguan, or Chang'an, they are all in a dilemma...... I have long heard that the border army in the north of Jin, the elite armor is in the world, although my Qinchuan soldiers are not afraid, but they can defend the city to thwart their momentum, why bother fighting with it? ”

"When the last general was in Henan, Wang Shichong sat in Luoyang Jiancheng, and from time to time he would lead the army out of the city to fight with Li Mi, and almost every battle would be defeated, and the last general would suffer greatly."

Now what you said is a bit of a taste, Li Xiuning said: "What you said has some truth, but Li Ding'an is not Li Mi, and there is no Wang Shichong here." ”

"The last general is just an analogy, nothing else."

Li Xiuning smiled and was silent, she was still hesitating, she actually knew better than anyone else that there were only two choices she was facing now, stay, or go back to Chang'an, there was no third way.

Just like Li Daliang said, returning to Chang'an is the first choice, and it is extremely safe, and no one will find fault with her Princess Pingyang at this time, what she said before is just a pretext.

Therefore, her choice is actually more inclined to stay, because in her opinion, Yongfeng Cang seems to be dangerous, there is no food here, Feng Yi, Tongguan, and even Hancheng have enough military food for several months, and Yongfeng Cang is not a place for soldiers.

As for the siege of the city, hey, the prince, the king of Qin, the king of Xiangyi, or even Chang'an, at this time of life and death, who cares about a mere princess?

However, the banner of Princess Pingyang of her Pingyang floated over Yongfeng Cang, and it may be possible for the Jin army to attack first have a taboo and dare not let go of their hands and feet.

In this case, why should she go back to Chang'an, maybe her father was angry and asked her to take the heads of Li Jing and others, and at that time, how should she deal with it?

Of course, Princess Pingyang is not an ordinary person, after hesitating, she still made a decision before dark, and ordered Li Daliang to go to Tongguan and report to the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

I don't need to say anything, just talk about the battle situation by the river according to the convention, because in Li Xiuning's opinion, in the first battle of last year, Tongguan may have been frightened by the Jin people, and Yu Gongyu privately asked the prince to send troops to help Feng Yi, which is considered embarrassing, but the eldest grandson can count on it.

As for herself, she led the army back to Chang'an in a hurry, and she completely threw Yongfengcang there.

After all, at such a time, how could she be in the hands of others by hiding in the land of Yongfengcang and completely entrusting her safety to others?

And Chang'an......

When Li Yuan led the army from Jinyang to the south, there were less than 30,000 soldiers, and the Sui army engaged several battles, and when they arrived at the river, the strength did not decrease but increased, and there were more than 100,000 soldiers.

After crossing the Yellow River, the number of troops doubled in a few days, until 300,000, and it can be said that the scenery is everywhere.

And from crossing the river to entering Chang'an, but more than ten days, now the Han King Li Po along Li Yuan's old road to the south came mightily, although there are more ups and downs, the time is not enough to compare with Li Yuan back then, but it is indeed copied Li Yuan's old road, and the soldiers are powerful, which is more prosperous than Li Yuan back then.

Therefore, when the urgent report of Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, arrived in front of Li Yuan's case, the shock to Li Yuan and his close ministers can be imagined.

Almost as soon as the envoy was dispatched, the sword and the soldiers were already facing each other, the Yellow River was dangerous, Chang'an was close at hand, and the feeling that the general trend had gone had instantly haunted everyone's hearts.
