Chapter 678: Riverside (5)

Li Po was still thinking before falling asleep, Shen Qingnu was quite interesting, even if he couldn't do anything big, it would be good to use it to watch the doorman.

It's just that the background is too bad...... Oh, after staying here for a long time, have you started to pay attention to the door? But we can't blame us, after reading the book, the nobles who pay attention to etiquette are indeed more pleasing to the eye than these thieves......

Damn, in this way, in the eyes of Li Bi's mother-in-law, wouldn't it be like this?

Thinking about it, Li Po gradually became confused.

In fact, since he entered the mode of competing for world dominance, most of the characters who appeared in front of him were from the gate lord family, and there were few poor families, not to mention these authentic grassroots.

If he hadn't been leading his troops every time, these people wouldn't have been able to get to him.

What is the Gate Valve Family? When they surround you, they will involuntarily block other classes of people, this is the gate valve family, which occupies an absolute advantage over all kinds of other characters, the serious elite group, is the monster created by the nobles with the help of the nine products in the system.

…………………………

At this time, Li Po had already decided to turn back to Jinyang, which explained in disguise that he felt that if he had to fight again this year, it would be unprofitable, and there would be no decisive key battles.

This is obviously not a guess out of thin air, but a conclusion based on the summary of various news, the Tang Army is unlikely to fight, and Xiao Miao, Dou Jiande and others are quite polite, and there is no possibility of friction, so everyone is almost here this year.

Next year, everyone will recuperate, and the anger may be greater, who can say for sure.

At this time, in fact, the impact of the First Battle of Tongguan really showed up in the Kansai territory.

Feng Yi of the same state, the Assassin Mansion.

Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, was discussing with everyone in the hall of the back house.

Li Shenfu is in his thirties, and his appearance has some characteristics of typical Li clan relatives, with long eyebrows and thin eyes, and a round face, but the taste of the Guanxi nobles on this county king is actually not heavy.

Speech and demeanor are on the gentle side, and it has nothing to do with the domineering atmosphere of the people in the Western clan, if he and Li Shentong are put together, except for their appearance, I am afraid that no one will think that they are brothers, because their temperament is very different.

Therefore, this may be the reason why the news of Li Yuan's southward trip to Chang'an reached Kansai, and Li Shentong was able to escape from Chang'an, but Li Shenfu was caught by Wei Xuan and put in prison, right?

Of course, all the nobles in Guanxi know the soldiers, and Li Shenfu is no exception, and he is quite famous in the Li clan, but he is not enterprising.

Now that his brother Li Shentong was captured in Jindi, his younger brother has become the pillar of his branch, and he has not been affected by Li Shentong, he is deeply valued by Li Yuan, and he was in charge of the imperial city guards before, when Li Shimin, the king of Qin, returned to Beijing to recuperate, it was different from when his brother went out to conquer Jindi.

There were not so many people vying to go to the east to lead the troops, so Li Shenfu was entrusted with the important task, as the king of Xiangyi County, the doctor of Guanglu, the secretary of the military department of the East Shaanxi Road of Jin, and the head of the march of the East Shaanxi Road, instead of Li Shimin to guard the counties on the west bank of the Yellow River.

It is no secret that Li Shenfu and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, are friendly, he is indeed different from his brother Li Shentong, Li Shentong escaped from Chang'an at the beginning, and complained that Li Xiuning didn't call him when he ran, plus he was greedy for his niece's military exploits, so he made a lot of trouble later, and his narrow-mindedness can be seen.

And Li Shenfu is very different, he is not only good friends with Li Shimin, but also has no power to get on with the prince, a few years ago Li Shentong robbed Li Xiuning of the credit, and he also apologized to Li Xiuning for his brother to Princess Pingyang's mansion.

It can be said that in terms of dealing with people, he is much more sleek than Li Shentong, and his popularity is naturally more than a little stronger than Li Shentong, and his reputation in the DPRK is also very good.

When he came to the bank of the Yellow River, he faced a much better situation than when Li Shimin was there.

and Xiao Yu, the secretary of the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai, also reached a consensus, the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai will not interfere too much in the military, so that he, the head of the Shaanxi East Road March, is roughly worthy of his name.

Then there is the Pingyang princess Li Xiuning stationed in Yongfengcang, and after some exchanges, they also talked well, and the army has no worries about food and grass, so that Li Shenfu is familiar with his subordinates, and the whole army is doing very smoothly.

In particular, everyone knows his relationship with Li Shimin, the king of Qin, so the people who stayed in the Qin Wangfu are also obedient.

This is Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, although he has no outstanding achievements, but he can connect all parties and think that it is too early to say that he is a general, but this time he has moved down, so that the situation on the west bank of the Yellow River is much more stable than when Li Shimin was there.

And when Wang Shichong wanted to lead his troops to the west, he did not delay Li Jiancheng, and immediately ordered people to demolish the pontoon bridge on the river, so that all the departments along the coast could not be slack, and the intention of defense was very obvious.

In this way, his meaning is also very clear, that is, to tell Li Jiancheng, you can rest assured that you can fight with Wang Shichong, we don't have to worry about it here, Li Ding'an will definitely not be able to cross the Yellow River.

When Li Jiancheng was at war with Wang Shichong, he really didn't think much about Li Ding'an's taking the opportunity to attack Feng Yi, Han Cheng and other places, and only focused on dealing with Wang Shichong.

In terms of strategy, it is not good or bad, the two conservative army commanders have the ambition to choose defense together, which really makes Wang Shichong have no chance to take advantage of it, and finally the army is defeated under Tongguan.

But the shore was replaced by Li Shimin...... That situation must be different, this His Royal Highness the King of Qin will definitely not be confused by the suspicious soldiers, and do the stupid thing of warning Tongguan, nor will he dismantle the pontoon bridge in advance and lose the opportunity to take the initiative.

How to say it, anyway, the result was that Li Po made a false shot on the east bank of the Yellow River, but he gave Li Jiancheng a blow.

When the news reached Feng Yi, Li Shenfu was stunned, and couldn't help but be "ashamed", and sent someone to Tongguan to comfort his nephew and apologize to his nephew.

By the way, he also congratulated his nephew, he defeated Wang Shichong's army of more than 200,000 in a battle, such a feat, you, the prince of the East Palace, seem to be worthy of the name.

Li Jiancheng was anxious at that time, whether he won or lost, and how did he fight this battle?

In fact, as long as the generals of the Tang Army who have experienced this battle almost all understand that what victory or defeat, they can be regarded as suffering a big loss in this battle.

The defenders of Tongguan were nearly 80,000 people, and after a battle, they lost 20,000 or 30,000 people, and the loss of numbers alone was terrifying, and it was nearly half of the damage.

And this is not any other army, the essence of the Tongguan garrison lies in this...... It looks like it's just a piece of flesh, but the blood is spurting......

It can be said that after the war, Tongguan seemed to increase its troops, but in fact, the strength of the Tongguan defenders was weakened, and the Henan army could not make up for the losses of the Tang army at all.

Almost unexpectedly, Li Shenfu received a transfer document from the prince of the East Palace, and he didn't ask him for more, as long as there were 20,000 reinforcements, and there was a private letter from the prince Li Jiancheng.

The person sent was also Feng Li, the general of the Donggong Yiwei chariot cavalry, this person was still from the Feng Yiren clan of Tongzhou, obviously the crown prince Li Jiancheng was a little anxious.

Tongguan is embarrassed, but Li Shenfu is not in a hurry, and even said in his heart, even if you lose in Tongguan, it is still as stable as Mount Tai, and you will transfer 20,000 troops from me, and you will think about it.

Don't look at Li Shenrune, he is quite kind, but he is not stupid, Li Jiancheng's intentions are very clear to him, this is not a question of the number of troops at all, but who will lead the war in the east in the future.

"The prince ordered to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to Tongguan, tell me, who can take on this heavy responsibility?"

If outsiders hear it, it must be that the county king has intended to transfer troops to aid Tongguan, but it is just a question of who will lead the army, but his henchmen know that the county king has never nodded in this matter.

Tongzhou Assassin Shi Huang Pu Ao is an outsider, and he said: "The lower official is willing to lead the troops to Tongguan to help His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Li Shenfu smiled and nodded, as if pleased, and Feng Li, the general of the chariot cavalry, was also very happy, he didn't expect that the king of Xiangyi County would be so aware of the righteousness, and he was much stronger than those bastards in the Qin Palace, who didn't care about the overall situation.

It's just that the turning point came quickly, and someone got up during the banquet and saluted: "The king is slow, this matter is not appropriate, the king is the head of the march of the Shaanxi East Road, and he is still the secretary of the military department of the Taiwan Army, there is the Son of Heaven above, and there is the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai, how can the transfer of troops be ordered in the East Palace?" ”

What he said was very unpleasant, and he was young, and he was in the last seat, Feng Li didn't know which one he was, but the other party turned his head to look at Feng Li and said: "The general is here, in addition to the prince's decree, but the imperial court's edict?" Or the military department, the military clerk? If so, please submit it as soon as possible, if not, transfer troops with a private order from the East Palace, where do you want to put the king? ”

"Shut up, how dare you be so rude to General Feng as a little soldier? Don't apologize to General Feng yet? ”

Li Shenfu naturally didn't speak, but frowned, and glanced at the young man who spoke with displeasure, and reprimanded Shi Shi, the head of the county king's mansion, and his son-in-law Yang Wenqian.

The young man was quite reluctant, but he still bowed to Feng Li and said, "The lower official does not choose what to say, and he accompanies General Feng, but the lower official thinks that General Feng's trip is unreasonable......

Feng Li was not confused, and said in his heart that you are acting with others, and acting for me is a big battle.

Ignoring the young man, he just arched his hand to Li Shenfu and said: "The military situation is urgent, and the last general has come here to invite troops, which is indeed negligent...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the county king is a virtuous person, and he will be able to take into account the overall situation and act cheaply, and then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely pass the book to the court and the stage, make up for the omissions, not to mention the merits of the county king, so good? ”

Tongzhou Assassin Emperor Pu Ao also said at this time: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, the weight of Tongguan is well known, if there is a loss...... What a great sin we have ......"
