Chapter 784: Youzhou Intervenes
He relied on the strength of Wagang's soldiers and horses, and now it can be said that the emperor has something to ask them for, so the conditions can be said.
Xu Maocheng said this only when he knew this.
"Just do what Duke Wei wants."
They didn't know that Emperor Yang of Sui had already hung up on this matter.
Li Mi had already decided to immediately send someone to contact the city guards, and they would jointly resist the anti-king.
It was so sudden, after Li Mi sent someone to report the news, the generals of the city defenders also knew the situation, and there was a holy decree as evidence, and they completely believed it.
So the situation changed in a matter of moments.
The anti-king's soldiers and horses soon felt that something was wrong, as they were now facing not only the Wagang soldiers but also the cavalry guards defending the city.
On the battlefield, the alliance between the two sides is still not visible.
Li Shimin realized that things were not good, and the reversal was too sudden, and he couldn't figure out why suddenly the Wagang soldiers and the Xiao Cavalry Guards were united.
"Shimin, it seems that we have the advantage now, but in fact, we are surrounded by Wagang soldiers and Xiao cavalry guards, it is better to withdraw from the city in time to avoid too many losses."
The eldest grandson Wuji is very optimistic about the sudden change in the situation, even if he occupies the palace, it is useless, on the contrary, he may completely besiege the imperial city.
Luoyang is already in chaos, and the situation will become more and more unfavorable if you stay, so it is better to make a decision as soon as possible, and the main purpose is Chang'an City.
Li Shimin really hesitated, not that he was not decisive enough, but that things were too sudden, which made him lose control, and he always felt empty in his heart.
"Report, Chang'an news."
The guards handed Li Yuan's letter to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin made a decision immediately after reading the letter, just like Li Yuan explained in the letter, you can't do things cheaply.
Abandon Luoyang and march to Chang'an with the Li family's soldiers and horses.
The three thousand Xuanjia withdrew from the Ziwei Palace, and when they left, they didn't forget to copy a lot of things, but unfortunately all the valuable things were taken away by Emperor Yang of Sui.
Now that they have all become the things of the Yuwen family, the royal treasury is much more valuable than the treasure of the queen of the Chen Kingdom, and if you know it, you can only envy it.
"The Li family's soldiers and horses withdrew, it's really unkind, and I know that I can't be with them."
The Li family's soldiers and horses were withdrawn, and the soldiers and horses of the anti-kings suddenly decreased sharply, and the advantages they had just accumulated were suddenly gone.
The anti-kings are a community of interests, with interests together, and without interests, they naturally fight their own battles.
It didn't take long for half a million soldiers and horses to collapse.
When he broke out of the encirclement, he exerted all his strength, causing a lot of impact on the blocking Wagang soldiers, and the casualties increased again.
Li Mi was distressed, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses he brought were already forty or fifty thousand, and in his eyes, the Wagang soldiers were all elite.
It takes time and money to cultivate, and he has decided that these losses will be recovered from the imperial court.
The soldiers and horses defending the city suddenly learned that the Wagang soldiers were actually their group, and this turn of events still seemed strange to them, but it was only confirmed by the Holy Purpose and the minister.
They still didn't know that the person who made them loyal would be Yang Tong, the grandson of Emperor Yang of Sui, and now he was a child.
Perhaps this is the reason why Nameless chose Yang Tong.
The anti-kings left Luoyang, the Luoyang defenders returned to the city wall to set up control, the Wagang soldiers withdrew from Luoyang, and a group of Luoyang defenders sent people to take over the imperial city.
Luoyang has returned to calm, but the people really don't have the slightest idea of going out to see the excitement.
The whole of Luoyang is like a dead city. Book 8
Nameless did not immediately announce the death of Emperor Yang of Sui, he didn't want the situation he had just saved to be broken, since ancient times, the succession of the royal family was an extraordinary thing, what he wanted was stability, secret, and suddenness.
Li Shimin missed Luoyang, felt that it was a pity, and hoped that his father could occupy Chang'an.
He didn't know that the soldiers and horses of the Li family were beaten very hard by the Xiao cavalry guards of Yuwen Chengdu, and the northwest soldiers on the city wall took this opportunity to get time to rest.
The war in Chang'an was in a predicament.
Li Yuan didn't want to give up this opportunity, and the Yuwen family was also unwilling to give up, as long as he entered the Chang'an Yuwen family, he could make many choices.
You can work with the backer king to support the new emperor to succeed to the throne, or lie dormant waiting for a turnback.
When Li Shimin arrived in Chang'an, the double anti-anti was still fighting, and when he learned that Yuwen Cheng was escorting Emperor Yang of Sui back, Li Yuan was not tempting, and immediately invested double his forces to capture Emperor Yang of Sui.
Yuwen Chengdu and other ministers did not fight after all the transfers, and chose to retreat and did not even return to Chang'an City, and rushed directly to Shuofang.
"What does Yuwen Chengdu want to do?"
Li Yuan couldn't figure it out, did Emperor Yang of Sui plan to give up Chang'an on his back, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became.
"Father, do you want to chase?" Li Jiancheng asked.
Yuwen Chengdu protects Emperor Yang of Sui, as long as the emperor does not fall, they will always be a little short of success.
"The top priority is to capture Chang'an."
At this time, suddenly several anti-kings also brought people to Chang'an.
Li Yuan's brows furrowed, obviously he came to share the benefits, and he could only come forward to solve it.
"Tang Guogong is really a good idea, since the cooperation can be without me, Zhang Dejin."
"Yes, I'm talking about the saint and I'm here to help Tang Guogong."
Li Yuan scolded shamelessly in his heart, but since everyone said so, they came to ask for benefits, to be honest, it was not useless to increase the number of soldiers and horses to leave them.
The siege of Chang'an will not be able to solve it in a short time, and it is just right to make use of their soldiers and horses.
Li Yuan planned to spend it with the backer king to the end.
The other anti-kings did not have the idea of attacking Chang'an, but after the battle of Luoyang, they suffered some serious losses, and most of them wanted to preserve their strength.
In fact, many anti-kings have long tried to plot against the local state capital, just wanting to take advantage of the Li family's affairs to seek more benefits, but the result is a loss of troops and generals.
Many anti-kings left with resentment, thinking that they would take revenge if they had the opportunity to do so in the future.
They didn't know that fortunately they didn't have the idea of attacking Chang'an, because Youzhou had dispatched 200,000 vanguard cavalry to reach Shangjun.
Li De would not let Tang Guogong occupy Chang'an, and after careful arrangements, they were ready to set out from Shangjun to destroy the Li family's plan.
Many things are not as good as changes, Shangjun is the only way to Shuofang, and before the vanguard set off, he met the Xiao cavalry guards who came on the way.
Gao Cheng, Xue Zhi and other lieutenants immediately led their troops to attack the Xiao Cavalry Guard, and the result was that the ministers who were the first to evacuate all became prisoners of the vanguard, and they also learned the news that Emperor Yang of Sui had died.
After Yuwen Chengdu arrived, he did not choose to fight, but turned back along the way he came.
Emperor Yang of Sui died, and after discussing with Gao Cheng, Xue Zhi and other captains, they no longer waited and immediately led 200,000 soldiers and horses to Chang'an.
"Report, Yuwen Chengdu has come back with Xiao Cavalry Guard."
"It's really daring, intercept it immediately after it is built, and we must eliminate all the Xiao cavalry guards."
Li Yuan felt that the opportunity had come, and he eliminated the Xiao Cavalry Guards to pursue Emperor Yang of Sui, and the plan was instantly formulated in his mind.
