"Report, Li Po personally led more than 70,000 troops to surround Puban......"

Li Shimin was silent after receiving the battle report from Tang Jian's department, Li Poqin led the army into Puzhou, and his generals Li Nian, Chen Yuan and others led the troops to station on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Li Shimin rubbed his forehead, and felt that his head began to ache faintly again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A serious illness in the winter, although it was only contracted by the wind and cold, was quickly healed under the careful care of everyone, not to mention the doctors, even he himself understood that the illness was caused by accumulated exertion, and he needed to recuperate for a period of time to be completely cured.

But the military situation is like fire, as the governor of Eastern Shaanxi Province, how many major matters are to be decided, and he is not allowed to recuperate at all, so until today, his condition has not really healed, and he will feel some discomfort from time to time.

That is, he is young, and he has strong muscles and bones since he was a child, and he can still bear it, otherwise, maybe he will have to be sent back to Chang'an in winter.

It's actually similar to Li Po's side, in the winter until now, the military discussion has been one after another, and some people have been transferred from the northwest and Shuzhong.

Originally, Tongguan was very close to each other, and there were many large armies, so it was easiest to transfer troops from there.

But the crown prince Li Jiancheng has something to say, once Tongguan is empty, Wang Shichong will inevitably wait for the opportunity to move, and then it will become the trend of King Li to attack Tang together.

Does that make sense? Naturally it makes sense......

But in Li Shimin's view, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan, which was originally prepared to capture Luoyang, not to defend Tongguan.

And today's situation is very different from the beginning, where does the Tang army, which has no Jin land in hand, dare to take half a step out of Tongguan?

In other words, attacking Wang Shichong and defending Tongguan are two different things, if you only defend the city, how can you use so many horses? Just as he should divide his troops, he will do his best to help him defeat Li Po, and first recover the Jin land before talking about anything else.

But having said that, in fact, Li Tang's army has been roughly divided into three parts.

The crown prince and the king of Qin each have one side of the army, and in addition to the Li Xiaogong department in Shu, if there is one more party, that is, the guards of the David's Mansion stationed in Chang'an, the capital division, and the servants of the East Palace, the royal Xiaoguo, etc.

Compared with the outside army, the garrison of the Beijing Division is the least and the weakest, and it can be seen from this that the battlefield of Li Tang is also divided into three parts.

The first line of Tongguan, the first line of Henan, and the west bank of the Yellow River, in order to prevent Li from breaking into the Kou, a part of Shuzhong is entangled with Xiao Milling.

There are heavy troops in the northwest, but there is no war, where, although there is now Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and Qu Tutong, the secretary of the military department, is in charge, but everyone understands that the soldiers and horses in the northwest are the descendants of the king of Qin.

But once Li Shimin left the northwest, he wanted to transfer people from the northwest, but it was not so cheap, the prince and his family obstructed it in many ways, and the emperor Li Yuan did not want to let the second son support the army too much.

And Li Xiaogong's side has always been close to the Qin Palace, but the war situation in Shuzhong is so bad that he is reluctant to divide his troops.

From the perspective of the overall situation, Li Shimin is actually reluctant to transfer troops from Shuzhong, because Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, etc. have all said that there are only two people who have the image of the emperor today, one is naturally Chang'an Li, and the other is none other than Xiao Milling.

Because the Jiangnan Xiao family is a descendant of the Nanliang royal family, the family background is extremely noble, and it is better than the Li family, in other words, the Xiao family's ascension to the throne has a natural justice.

And Xiao Milling has a good name, and his ambition is not small, he wants to enter Shu from Jingzhou and seize the hometown of Shu Han, such a talent is a person that the Li family should take great precautions against.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others Li Shimin deeply agreed, if there are many heroes today, only the Xiao family can be slightly listed with the Kansai Li family, and the rest are not enough.

If it is appropriate, Li Shimin actually wants to have a green plum cooking wine with Xiao Milling and talk about the heroes of the world.

Of course, at this time, it is not the Three Kingdoms to compete for power, and the great enemy that Li Shimin will face is Li Po, who rose in the Jin land, and Li Po is not Liu Wuzhou, he can no longer regain the Jin land according to the established trajectory of history.

Just like now, Li Shimin's biggest headache is not actually the lack of troops, but the fact that outside the rear constraints, the military situation in the Longmen area on the other side of the river cannot be explored at all.

Yes, he encountered the same trouble as Li Shentong that day, under the shield of the parallel cavalry, the Tang army scouts could not cross the river, and almost the entire east bank of the Yellow River was the figure of the parallel cavalry.

They galloped back and forth, wantonly flaunting their belligerence and the bravery of the soldiers in the frontier areas, blocking all snooping along the Yellow River, and by the way, Li Shimin could not know the opponent's combat intentions.

Of course, no matter how many people there are in Jindi, it is also the limit to be divided into three parts.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, there are Li Nian and Chen Yuan, and Li Poqin led a large army to attack Puban, so if there are large soldiers stationed in Longmen, there must be no doubt that the main force of the cavalry will be paralleled.

Now that the Yellow River has not thawed, Li Shimin imagined the scene of the horse stepping on the glacier, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

It's not that he's scared, but he remembers the snowstorm in the winter of last year, which was the coldest winter he had ever experienced in his life, and it was still the kind of person who could freeze and scatter.

"Ordering the generals to come to the ......"

In another military discussion, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Shirang and others said a lot, but they still didn't agree, and they didn't give birth to a clever plan that made people's eyes shine.

There is no way, although they have also been in battle for a long time, they are almost all generals who have been honed from the war in the northwest.

The Northwest Xue Jujun was miscellaneous, although it was different from most of the rebel armies at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but it was not far behind, so the troops were quite insufficient, and Xue Jujun had the help of the Turks, so the generals in the army from Li Shimin down were also full of the operational idea of accumulating small victories into big victories.

Li Pojun is different, there are many generals and soldiers in the army, just like a regular army, and when fighting with such a army, it is not easy to use strategies such as luring the enemy deep and counter-plotting.

For example, the soldiers and horses of the two armies against Xue Jujun will rush up bravely, and the timid will hide behind, with too many characteristics of the peasant army, it can be said that there are loopholes everywhere, even if you don't win a battle, you can take a lot of advantage.

And Li Pojun is very different, what impressed Li Shimin and others the most was the winter battle, even if they found a fighter, it was difficult to have a chance to turn a small victory into a big victory like Xue Jujun.

If Li Po's entire army was like that...... Well, that's what Li Shimin thinks is the worst-case scenario.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why he wants to continue to fight with Li Pojun, he wants to see if the current Jindi rebels are as capable of fighting as the defenders of Longmen.

Of course, that is the worst guess, what does it mean Li Shimin knows very well, if it is really like that, with the current strength of the Tang Army, it is impossible to cross the river to compete with Li Po.

In other words, the war will turn into a long standoff, which is very bad for Li Tang and even worse for Li Shimin himself.

He may be dragged on the bank of the Yellow River, and he will not be able to take care of him......

The biggest difference between Li Pojun and Xue Jujun is that Xue Jujun is difficult to clean up once he is defeated, because their foundation is unstable, on the other hand, Li Ding'an...... It is said that the business in Jinyang is very good, the government is stable, and everyone is in the heart.

So even if there is a big victory, if Li Dingan is allowed to return to Jinyang, the war will continue.

These military and political considerations made Li Shimin's head as big as a fight, and at the same time, it also made the time of this military meeting seem extraordinarily long.

It was actually similar to Li Po's prediction, because he lost the first step in strategy, so he gave the Tang army an extremely difficult choice, whether to take the risk of dividing troops to garrison the ferry and wait for the enemy, or to defend only one place safely, or even use the most conservative tactics to cut through the ice of the Yellow River and burn the Pujin Bridge, so that Li Po's army could not cross the river at all.

And the last one is obviously not in line with the original agreement of Li Shimin and others, that is, to use the Yellow River to consume Li Po's troops, and if he wins the last game, he may be able to turn defense into offense......

This is also the tactic used by Li Shimin when fighting against Xue Jujun.

Therefore, the final result of the military discussion can be predicted, divided into two places, waiting for the opportunity to move, one looks good or bad, but it is also full of helpless choices.

After the military discussion, the generals dispersed, and Li Shimin immediately ordered two famous doctors recruited from Chang'an, and his headache became worse and worse.

The two famous doctors are also very helpless, they have seen a lot of small illnesses turning into major illnesses, even if the one in front of them is extremely noble, but they can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, if they can't recuperate with peace of mind, maybe a little wind and cold can turn into a chronic disease.

So, the two of them considered prescribing some warm medicinal soup to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and after boiling it, they poured it into Li Shimin, and the bitter Li Shimin's brows were connected.

But before he could suppress the churning in his stomach, someone came to report that he had caught a monk on the side of the Yellow River, and what was even more strange was that the monk was escorted by Shangyi Tongyu and himself.

Yu Wenshi and is the son of Yu Wenshu, the younger brother of Yu Wenhua, the princess of Nanyang of Shang Sui, a typical Guanxi Gate valve, or the kind of relative, according to this, after the Tang Dynasty, there must be death and no life.

But the Guanxi Gate Valve has a kin, this is not a joke, someone's sister married Li Yuan, and she is Li Yuan's Zhaoyi, not only that, but the relationship between people and Li Yuan is also very good.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, everyone said that they should be killed, but Li Yuan said that the time for his people to talk about the affairs of the world with me was much earlier than that of Er.

So, in terms of the moral quality of the world, Yuwenzi, who was originally a heinous crime, turned around and became Li Tang's Shangyitong, and the scenery was slightly inferior back then, but he was also Li's confidant.

Now, he is even more with the army, with the Sima of the Qin Wangfu, and the Sima of the Shaanxi East Road March, just like the confidant of the King of Qin.

He was originally under Tang Jian, transporting grain and grass from Yongfeng Cang, and then in charge of military discipline, but now that the war is imminent, he brought a monk to Li Shimin...... This made Li Shimin immediately have a bit of an ominous premonition, obviously something big happened.

When he saw Yu Wenshi who was sinking like water, Li Shimin's heart jumped a few times, and he immediately repelled the idle people, Yu Wenshi and then took out a letter from his arms and presented it to Li Shimin without saying a word......
