Chapter 340: The Luo Family Surrenders
、、、、、、、、、、
Luo Cheng was also a little helpless, he knew that he couldn't defeat Yu Yuqing in at least five moves. But those Liaodong infantry around him could kill him immediately. Moreover, at present, his father and comrades-in-arms have lost the ** of the battle. They were impressed by the might of the Liaodong Army.
At present, Yu Yuqing, as a woman, is willing to give herself a step, saying that it is only a draw, which is already very self-faced.
He had no choice but to bow his hand to Yu Yuqing and said, "But it's up to Miss Yu to decide!" ”
Yu Yuqing smiled slightly, and then put away the long knife in his hand. But at this moment, she suddenly fainted, and her delicate body fell on her side in the Thistle River.
"Ahh Yu Qing! Yu Ming was shocked, and hurriedly rushed to his sister's side as fast as he could, and at this time, Luo Cheng, who was closest to her, had already taken the lead in helping her up.
"Quickly carry her ashore, please come to the rescue of the doctor!" Yuming yelled.
Together, the two of them struggled to drag U Haharu to the south bank of the river. The accompanying military doctor hurriedly rushed over. After he pressed Yu Yuqing's pulse, Fang Yu reported: "King Zhou doesn't need to panic, the county lord (after Yu Ming was named King of Zhou, his sister Yu Yuqing naturally became the county lord) just lost too much blood and fainted, as long as he raised for a period of time and took some tonic medicine, it would be fine!" ”
Hearing the doctor say this, Yu Ming and Luo Yifang were relieved.
Especially Luo Yi, his heart has been up and down, he secretly thinks that if Yu Yuqing dies, he is afraid that Yu Ming will go crazy and slaughter the city. Their Youzhou army is only afraid that they will not escape death. But fortunately, Yu Yuqing just lost too much blood, which is lucky.
Yu Ming shouted: "Doctor! Don't pick what I like to say, you saved my sister anyway! Reward you with two gold! If Guo Yuqing has any strengths and weaknesses, Hugh blames this king for being unkind to you! ”
Yuming has never been so unreasonable, and he has never been so fierce to his own people. However, several doctors did not complain, and long before the fierce battle, a group of accompanying military doctors arrived in front of the battle, ready to treat their wounded warriors after the battle.
Their group of doctors were also very moved to see Yu Yuqing as a woman fighting so desperately. Doctors are also human beings, and they also have blood and a sense of honor, so they will naturally do their best to save them.
They immediately nodded and said, "Your Highness, we will definitely do our best to save the county lord!" ”
After the medical officers carried Yu Yuqing back, Luo Yifang dismounted and walked over, pulled Luo Cheng to Yuming and knelt down on one knee and said, "See King Zhou......"
Yu Ming hurriedly helped their father and the two of them up, and then said with a straight face: "The prestige of Lord Luo and General Luo, Yu Ming has long heard about it, and now we don't know each other...... In the future, we will become a family, don't share anything with each other, and create a great cause together! ”
Luo Yi and a group of Youzhou army generals thanked one after another, saying that they would be loyal to King Zhou. But Luo Cheng kept rubbing his palms with his hands, looking at the Liaodong Army camp in the distance.
Seeing this, Yu Ming asked with some curiosity, "General Luo, what's wrong with you?" ”
Luo Cheng arched his hand at this time and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhou, Miss Yuqing doesn't know how her injuries are now?" I'd like to visit her, can I grant that? ”
Yu Ming was stunned for a moment, but then laughed and said, "Of course you can!" General Luo can go at any time, but I hope not to disturb her to recuperate and rest! ”
"That's natural,......" Luo Cheng nodded, and then rushed towards the camp of the Liaodong Army with an arrow.
Luo Yi showed a knowing smile on his face, he had already seen that he already had love for the heroine who showed his might just now. If Luo Cheng and Yu Yuqing can further develop their relationship, then they no longer have to worry about whether the generals of the Luo family will be excluded in the Liaodong Army in the future.
He then bowed to Yuming and said: "Your Highness, the last general immediately ordered all the defenders in the city to go out of the city to accept the reorganization, and ask King Zhou to lead the army into the city!" ”
Yu Ming nodded, and his heart suddenly relaxed. Although the process of conquering Youzhou was full of twists and turns, the goal was finally successfully achieved. And the casualties were not heavy. What makes him happiest is that he has recovered Luo Yifu and the Youzhou Army. This allows him to be more relaxed when arranging his troops.
……
When Yuming played a triumphant song, Li Yuan also marched to Guanzhong in full swing. The first tiger he encountered was Gao Deru, who was left behind in Xihe County.
Gao Deru was the nephew of the late Sui Dynasty Prime Minister Gao Gong and was loyal to the Sui Dynasty. After learning the news of Li Yuan's army, he led his troops to defend the county seat, which became a stumbling block in front of Li Yuan's army.
Li Yuan sent Chang Li Jiancheng and Ci Li Shimin to attack Xihe County, and sent Liu Jing to assist in the military staff.
Xihe County is a small county, with few soldiers, and Gao Deru's army is only 10,000 county soldiers, so he can only take the method of holding on behind closed doors, trying to delay the arrival of reinforcements.
Li Shimin, on the other hand, took the lead and shared weal and woe with the soldiers, and the army to which he belonged did not commit any crimes, and the big families in the county were very happy. Together with Li Jiancheng, he captured Xihe County in only nine days and killed Gao Deru.
Li Yuan immediately ordered to open a warehouse for hunger relief, recruit soldiers, and divide the army into corps.
He himself was a great general, and he was in charge of all military affairs.
Feng Li Jiancheng was appointed as the Duke of Longxi and the Governor of the Left Army, commanding the Left Army.
Li Shimin was named the Duke of Dunhuang and the Governor of the Right Leading Army, commanding the Right Army.
Both the General's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion have their own officials and subordinates, forming a powerful military staff, and wise men from all over the country have come to vote, and their strength has become even stronger.
In May, Li Yuan personally led an army of 10,000 troops, assisted by the Western Turkic soldiers invited by Pei Lian, and marched to Chang'an. Yang Yu, the grandson of Yang Guang who was stationed in Chang'an, sent Huyalang to defend Song Laosheng and Xiaowei general Qu Tutong to defend against Li Yuan.
When Li Yuan marched south to Huoyi (now Huoxian County, Shanxi), he was catching up with the continuous plum rain, and the army was blocked by Song Laosheng from the pass. And because of the increase in the number of people in the army, there is a shortage of food. Li Yuan discussed with Pei Lin and prepared to return to the original.
At this time, Li Shimin found Li Yuan and cried: "Father, it is the spring grain harvest season, and the fields are full of wheat grain, so why worry about not having enough food?" If we immediately withdraw our troops as soon as we encounter stubborn resistance, we may disappoint the soldiers who have taken refuge in us. ”
And Li Jiancheng also supported Li Shimin's proposition and opposed returning to the original.
Li Yuan pondered repeatedly for a while, and after discussing righteousness with Liu Jing, Fang agreed to engage the Sui army in Huoyi.
Before the battle began, Li Yuan lined up in the northwest, Li Jiancheng lined up in the east of the city, Li Shimin lined up in the south of the city, and Song Laosheng led the army to fight and achieved a certain advantage.
However, Li Shimin led the cavalry from the south of the city to the main formation of the Sui general Song Laosheng and attacked the Sui army from behind. Li Yuan and Li Shimin attacked together, and the Sui army suffered a crushing defeat from the enemy. Song Laosheng was killed, and Huoyi was also conquered.
Subsequently, Li Yuan successively conquered Linfen County and Jiang County (present-day Xinjiang County, Shanxi), and advanced to Longmen (present-day northwest of Hejin County, Shanxi), and the most powerful armed forces in Guanzhong, Sun Hua and Feng Yi (present-day Dali County, Shaanxi), guarded Xiao Zao and surrendered to Li Yuan.
In June, Li Yuan led his troops to besiege Hedong County (now Yongji County, Shanxi), and Qu Tutong, one of the famous generals of the Sui Dynasty, led his troops to hold on, causing Li Yuan to be unable to conquer for a long time.
At the time, Pei Lin thought that Hedong County should be captured at any cost, and then enter Guanzhong, so as not to be cut off by Qu Tutong later.
However, Li Shimin thought that the soldiers were fast and should go straight to Guanzhong, so as not to be attacked and occupied by Xue Ju or Liang Shidu.
In Li Yuan's view, these two opinions are reasonable, if you don't eliminate Qu Tutong and enter the customs directly, then there is the Chang'an Sui army in front and Qu Tutong reinforcements in the back, and you will suffer from the enemy on your back.
If they had been besieging Hedong County with their teachers' tired troops, the Sui army in Guanzhong would have enough time to organize resistance, and would even get support from the eastern capital and lose their fighters.
After Li Yuan weighed the two opinions, he decided to take each other's strengths.
He then divided his troops into two, leaving Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong to besiege Hedong and contain Qu Tutong. And he led the army of Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to directly attack Chang'an.
Li Yuan led his army to cross the Yellow River from Hukou and captured Tongguan, and then left Li Jiancheng to hold Tongguan and block the Sui army from Kwantung. Li Shimin entered the auxiliary from Weibei and swept all over Guanzhong.
Due to the prestige of Li Feng in Guanzhong, the local heroes in Guanlong surrendered to Li Yuan one after another, and the situation in Guanzhong quickly fell one-sided.
In July, Li Yuan joined forces with more than 200,000 troops of Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Liu Hongji to attack Chang'an. He also ordered the soldiers in the army not to invade the seven temples of the Sui Dynasty and the royal family, and those who violated the order were razed by their clans.
Then, in the sound of a trumpet, Li Yuan announced an attack on Chang'an, and the first person to go up the city wall was promoted to a second general. Li Yuanjun's team, Hou Junji, took the lead in ascending to the top of the city, and Xijing Chang'an was conquered.
Li Yuan then set up the acting king Yang Yu as the puppet emperor in Chang'an, appointed himself as the envoy, the governor of the capital, the military inside and outside, the Shangshu order, and the prime minister, and crowned the king of Tang, and imitated Liu Bang's entry into Guanzhong, the example of the law and chapter, and also the surname of Guanzhong The twelve articles of the law were obtained, which was supported and embraced by the people of Guanzhong and the Guanlong gatekeeper.
During the same period, Wang Shu and Xu Yuanlang of Shandong also occupied most of the counties in Shandong, and only Beihai County was still in the hands of the Sui army.
Dou Jiande of Hebei also destroyed the city and occupied most of Hebei except Beiping County and Zhuo County, which had the potential to sweep the entire north of the Yellow River.
Liu Wuzhou, who occupied Mayi, also controlled the entire northern part of Hedong and began to engage Li Yuan's army. Due to the defeat in the first battle, he was also like Li Yuan, and expressed his allegiance to the Turks.
At this time, the Turkic internal department Luo Khan had been defeated and died. It evolved into a melee between Jieli and Tuli. Jieli also wished that someone would take refuge in him in order to increase his momentum. Therefore, for Liu Wuzhou, who came to take refuge, he also generously named Dingyang Little Khan, and provided him with a batch of war horses. Suddenly, in the Hedong region, Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan were on a par.
