"No way!"

Hearing Du Ruhui's suggestion, Li Shimin categorically refused: "Tens of thousands of elite cavalry in the Tiger Prison Pass have followed Gu Zheng to fight for many years, and the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is the elite of Gu carefully selected from hundreds of thousands of troops, how can such an army give up easily." ”

"What's more, if Lone disregards the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers for his own life, what face will Lone have to lead the three armies in the future, and who else will dare to trust Lone among the soldiers of the Tang Army?"

When Du Ruyan heard this, he confessed: "What His Highness said is extremely true, he is short-sighted and short-sighted, and he almost missed His Highness's major event!" ”

Li Shimin immediately made a decision, and ordered loudly: "Immediately pass the order, the three armies pack up, and evacuate the tiger prison when the time comes." In addition, immediately sent an eagle letter to Li Jilong and Qu Tutong, ordering them to divide their troops and cooperate with the front and rear attacks to quickly defeat Yang Yanzhao's roadblock! In addition, he ordered Li Cunqiao and Song Jingang to quickly retreat to Hedong to collect boats, and to take Gu's army across the Yellow River and retreat to Hedong! ”

All the generals in the tent immediately bowed their hands together and said, "The last general must obey the military order!" ”

"Your Highness! The Tiger Prison Pass is the throat barrier of Gongwei Luoyang, how can such a dangerous pass be handed over to Yang Gao'er? General Li Siyuan came out of the queue and said: "The last general thinks that His Royal Highness can prepare things to ignite the fire in the pass in advance, and after our army withdraws, he will set fire to the pass and destroy the east gate of Luoyang." Moreover, the raging fire can also delay the pursuit of the Sui army outside the pass, and win time for our army to defeat Yang Yanzhao! ”

Li Shimin immediately nodded in agreement: "General Gao's plan is very good, and Lone will hand over this matter to you!" ”

Li Siyuan smiled gloomily: "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will not disappoint Your Highness!" ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Li Jilong, Qu Tutong and other Tang army generals who were still besieging Luoyang City quickly acted after receiving Li Shimin's order, and the veteran Qu Tutong led the generals Wang Junke, Wang Renze, Qu Tugai and the newly born general Gongsun Shu and his brother Gongsun Mei and 30,000 troops to kill Yang Yanzhao's camp in Vientiane Mountain in the starry night, and Li Cunqiao and Song Jingang also quickly retreated to Hedong County after receiving the order.

Such a large-scale transfer of the Tang army naturally could not hide from Meng Hui and Zeng Guofan in the city, and the two understood the intention of the Tang army after a little pondering, and immediately sent troops out of the city to attack the Tang army camp, and ordered Yang Zaixing and Gao Siji to lead the elite cavalry to rush to the aid of Yang Yanzhao.

However, Li Jilong, who still remained under Luoyang City, was not an ordinary person, he personally led the army to strictly defend it, and placed heavy troops on several important roads. The Sui army failed in several raids, and also lost Wei Lu and many other Luoyang army generals, and the cavalry led by Yang Zaixing and Gao Siji was also blocked back to Luoyang City.

Seeing this, Meng Hui and Zeng Guofan had no choice but to send an eagle letter to inform Yang Yanzhao of the situation and tell him to be careful.

Ten days later, Li Shimin, who learned that everything had been prepared, immediately ordered the whole army to abandon the pass and leave, and connected with Qu Tutong's headquarters to flank Yang Yanzhao's troops before and after, and quickly opened the way for retreat.

。。。。。。。。。。

Vientiane Mountain, where the slopes are undulating and the terrain is dangerous. Yang Yanzhao, who arrived here more than a month ago, personally urged the soldiers of the whole army to build fortifications and arrange defenses, which became a huge barrier for Li Shimin to retreat to Luoyang.

"Your Highness, Li Shimin led tens of thousands of Tang army iron cavalry to kill, and now it is less than twenty miles."

"Report, Your Highness, Qu Tutong's front vanguard Wang Junke has led five thousand soldiers and horses less than ten miles away!"

"Li Shimin, you're finally here!"

Yang Yanzhao smiled slightly after hearing the news, pressed the sword in his hand, and ordered loudly: "Hu Yanzan, Yang Yansi, order you two to lead 20,000 elites to deploy on the west side of Xiangshan Mountain, and be sure to do your best to intercept Qu Tutong!" ”

Hu Yanzan and Yang Yansi immediately bowed their hands together and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

"The rest of the generals!"

Yang Yanzhao had already drawn his sword out of the sheath as he spoke, and shouted loudly: "Fight against Li Shimin with Ben Shuai, as long as you can capture Li Shimin alive, glory and wealth are at your fingertips!" ”

Tens of thousands of Sui soldiers roared with joy, brandishing their weapons together and shouting to the sky: "Victory, victory!! ”

。。。。。。。。。。

In less than half an hour, the dust was already rising in front of the Sui military camp in the east, and people were shouting and neighing. Tens of thousands of Tang army iron cavalry lined up in a neat triangular army formation with their crotches forward, flags fluttering, spears like forests, fine armor shining in the sun, murderous, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves trampled on smoke and dust.

When the Tang army moved to a place about a stone's throw in front of the Sui military camp, Li Shimin, who was wearing a golden helmet and bright armor, slowly rode out of the ranks, galloped back and forth in front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the warriors who followed the Lonely South to conquer the north, our hometown Guanzhong has now been invaded by the shameless Sui army, and the life and death of our relatives are unknown, and the Tang Dynasty has reached a critical juncture!" In order to defend our hometown and protect our own loved ones, we must rush back to Guanzhong as soon as possible! Now, please use all your strength to defeat the Sui army in front of you, and rush back to Guanzhong to protect your relatives and defend the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Defend the country! Defend the country! Tens of thousands of Tang army elites roared loudly in unison, and even the war horses under their crotches seemed to be rendered, and they kept hitting the ground with their hooves, causing the entire plain to begin to shake slightly.

"Kill!" Li Shimin immediately gave the order to attack, and tens of thousands of Tang army iron cavalry suddenly launched, like a torrent that broke the embankment, pouring down in an instant. Thousands of horses are galloping, dusty, and surging, and even the heavens and the earth seem to change color at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but nodded slowly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said: "No wonder Your Majesty is so jealous of Li Shimin's child, this person does have some skills." Today is to find a way to keep him here no matter what. ”
