Chapter 620: This is Li Ze's victory

When Li Ze appeared in Yinzhou City, Raza had already withdrawn three days earlier. It has been a full three months since the Tibetan soldiers invaded the jurisdiction of Ansui Jiedu. The Battle of Yinzhou alone lasted for nearly two months, and in the end, the Tang army won a complete victory.

Under the leadership of Liu Ruyan, the right Qianniuwei was inserted into the southwest of Yinzhou, Zhang Jia sealed the northeast, and the only small opening left was now blocked by Li De with nearly 20,000 cavalry and Xiazhou soldiers. In front of Raza is Han Qi and Li Cunzhong's Zuo Wuwei, Wang Sili's Zuo Qianwei and Tu Lichun's Zuo Weiwei who came from Hezhong Mansion, which does not include Li Ze's pro-military camp and Li Han's Modao battalion.

Laza's nearly 100,000-strong army is now completely blocked within the jurisdiction of Yinzhou, and when Li Ze's army approached, Raza withdrew to the area of Hengshan, preparing for the last trapped beast to fight.

Li Ze is under the city, and Han Qi is in the city.

The whole city of Yinzhou has been tattered, there are broken openings everywhere, a section of the city wall has simply collapsed, and a fence has been erected inside, and behind the fence, sacks and even rags of sand and soil are gathered behind it.

The soldiers outside the city were brightly armored and energetic, and the soldiers in the city were in tatters, unkempt, and scarred. After nearly two months of hard fighting, Zuo Wuwei stubbornly used 40,000 troops to withstand the attack of Laza's 100,000 Tubo troops in Yinzhou City and Fuyuan, especially in the last half month, Laza, who already knew that something was wrong, launched one crazy attack after another.

Yinzhou, Fuyuan has become a veritable meat grinder.

A large number of soldiers on both sides died here in this tug-of-war.

Li Ze raised his hand and beckoned slightly.

Under the city, the banners of Zuo Qianniuwei and Li Ze's direct subordinate pro-soldier battalion, and the Modao battalion were first raised high, and then leaned forward forty-five degrees.

Min Rou took the lead in prancing out.

The cavalry of the 3,000 guards battalion, including the wolf cavalry, galloped around the city.

While the flag was fluttering, Min Rou raised the horse chopping knife in her hand and shouted loudly: "Zuo Wuwei, mighty!" ”

The three thousand galloping cavalrymen shouted in unison amid the thunderous hooves of horses: "Zuo Wuwei, mighty!" ”

Under the city, the 30,000 soldiers of Zuo Qianniuwei, who were lined up in a neat line, raised their weapons in unison and shouted.

Zuo Wuwei's mighty shouts were deafening.

Above the city, the surviving Zuo Wuwei soldiers burst into tears.

Han Qi burst into tears.

Li Cunzhong burst into tears.

Han Rui burst into tears.

In the face of the enemy's desperate attacks, in the face of danger again and again, they did not shed tears or fear. In the face of their comrades-in-arms dying in front of them one by one, they did not shed tears, but at this moment, they shed tears.

Li Ze, with the highest courtesy, saluted this army that had been fighting in Yinzhou for nearly two months.

At this moment, whether it is Han Qi, Li Cunzhong or Han Rui, they all feel that the perseverance of these two months is worth it.

No matter what kind of contradictions there were, when faced with foreign enemies, everyone can finally join hands and fight together.

Li Ze turned over and dismounted, and strode towards Yinzhou City.

In the city, Han Qi wiped a handful of tears, and took Li Cunzhong and Han Rui to meet them quickly.

At the gate of the city, Li Ze slammed towards Han Qi to the ground.

"Han Shangshu, hard work!"

This hard sound, Li Ze said willingly.

In the battle of Yinzhou, Han Qi had many options, but he chose the most difficult one. chose a plan that was the most unfavorable to Hedong and the most unfavorable to himself, but the most beneficial to the entire Datang.

After this battle, the foundation of Hedong, which Han Qi relied on to exist and compete with Li Ze, no longer existed, and Zuo Wuwei suffered heavy casualties, but it made the biggest threat to the Tang Dynasty, Tubo, after this battle, no longer able to launch an active attack on the Tang Dynasty. After this battle, although the Zhenzhou court has not yet unified the world, it has changed its offensive and defensive positions with Tubo. The Zhenzhou Imperial Court will devote all its strength to the process of dominating the world.

Han Qi was not modest, he was indeed very hard.

In this battle, he did everything he could. At the most dangerous time, he even personally carried a knife into battle. In this battle, he exhausted his hard work and boiled his hair white.

"Congratulations to Li Xiang, after this battle, the northwest of the Tang Dynasty will be stable for at least twenty years." Clenched his fists and saluted Li Ze, Han Qi said in a complicated mood.

"This is the joy of the Tang Dynasty, of course, it is also my joy, it is also your joy, and it is also the joy of all Tang people!" Li Ze stepped forward and grabbed Han Qi's arm: "Li Ze should make people remember the monument here to commemorate Han Shangshu's great achievements." ”

Han Qi smiled bitterly: "Han Mou just put in a lot of hard work, but it is Li Xiang, strategizing and winning thousands of miles, you are the real hero." ”

Li Ze laughed: "Without Han Shangshu fighting hard in front, no matter how good the plan is, it will be a flash in the pan." Han Shangshu, won't you invite me into the city? ”

"The city is ruined, and there is almost a place to live."

"Where the smoke of gunpowder is not over, it can make Li Ze's heart even more happy."

"Please!"

"You and I go together!"

The two of them walked arm in hand, as if the mustard of the past had disappeared at this moment.

The official offices in Yinzhou City were almost demolished. Because when these officials were built, they used more stones, more large wood, and bricks, and these were used to defend the city.

Li Ze and Han Qi arrived at the Yinzhou Thorn Mansion, where only a side house was left after the demolition. The two of them entered the side room and sat opposite each other.

"Pull the solid strength is especially strong, under his command, there are at least 50,000 soldiers who can fight, and they have withdrawn to the Hengshan area, where the hills and ravines are crisscrossed, and the terrain is extremely complicated, if you want to completely wipe it out, I am afraid it will take a lot of effort." Han Qi said bluntly.

"The rest will be handed over to Wang Sili and them." Li Ze said with a smile: "A turtle in Weng is not worth our much effort, it is only a matter of time before it is left and right." ”

Han Qi nodded: "That's the same." What's going on over there in Xiazhou City? ”

"Before I arrived here, there was just bad news, Du Youcai rashly pursued the retreating Tocharo, ambushed in Tongwan City, Du Youcai's father and son died in this battle, our reinforcements were a little late, although the city of Xiazhou was recovered, but Tocharian had retreated to Lingzhou." Li Ze shook his head and said.

Han Qi was silent for a moment, he didn't know the specific battle situation in Xiazhou, but compared to Du Youcai and Tocharo, it was indeed a step worse, and it was not impossible for Du Youcai to suffer such a big defeat under the situation of Li Lingzhi's faintness.

"Hedong is okay?" After a moment of silence, Han Qi finally couldn't help but ask.

Li Ze smiled slightly, knowing what Han Qi wanted to ask.

"Fan Jun, Sima Fan, although they lost their land and land in the early stage, and their sins were not small, but in the end, they still held Taiyuan City and fought to the last moment, so let's offset the merits and demerits!" Li Ze didn't mention the 10,000 soldiers and horses in Hedong's private collection, and Han Qi naturally didn't mention it either. "Fan Jun resigned from all official positions, and will devote himself to the development of commerce and trade with the southern side of Tubo Delhi, and Sima Fan also resigned from all official positions, he decided to lead a large number of clansmen to the Western Regions, and work hard for my Tang Dynasty to re-establish Anxi and protect the northern court."

Han Qi's face changed several times, and he just sighed after all. The Fan family and the Sima family have surrendered to Li Ze, which also means that Hedong has been completely included in Li Ze's system.

"The Hefang clan colluded with the pseudo-Liang, and it was a big rebellion, and he has been punished by the clan." Li Ze's face sank slightly: "A lot of people died in the river this time, but we also pulled out all these traitors, and at the same time, an army sent by Zhu Wen to prepare to cooperate with the Fang clan was also annihilated by us. When this war is completely over, I am ready to ask Zhu Wen a good time, is the treaty he signed with us all a fart? Since he is unkind, let me not blame me for being unjust. ”

After leveling the two directions of the northeast and northwest, Li Ze will inevitably draw his sword and go south, which is the proper meaning of the question, as for asking Zhu Wen for the crime, it is just a pretext to play.

Han Qi straightened his waist, and suddenly found that after a big victory, he seemed to have lost completely, and from then on, he was really just a military secretary.

"Zuo Wuwei suffered heavy losses this time, less than half of the 40,000 troops remained, and if you count those who were injured and were about to withdraw from the army, the number would be even more." He was a little sad.

"Of course Zuo Wuwei has to make up for it." Li Ze said categorically: "Next, I am going to let Zuo Wuwei garrison Lingzhou and other places, guarding the border line with Tubo, the source of soldiers, don't worry about it at all, the Xiazhou soldiers are naturally going to be reorganized, and Cunzhong can pick it up when the time comes, as for the officers, last year's martial arts test in the middle test, Cunzhong wants whoever he wants, besides, this year's spring branch is about to start again, and when the time comes, the Wujinshi in the pilot test will naturally give priority to Zuo Wuwei." ”

Han Qi had no choice but to nod.

Without Hedong, in fact, he has no extra private forces to replenish.

Zuo Wuwei, in addition to high-ranking officers in the future, I am afraid that most of the middle-level officers and grass-roots officers will become Li Ze's people. In other words, this army is no longer surnamed Han.

"I'm a little tired!" He stood up in a huff.

"Shangshu has worked too hard during this time, so I want to take a good rest." Li Ze also stood up and said with a smile: "Next, Han Shangshu will watch how our army eats Raza bite by bite!" But tonight, I will hold a banquet in the camp of the Chinese army to celebrate the achievements of Han Shangshu and all the generals of Zuo Wuwei, and I also invite Han Shangshu to attend. ”

"Of course I will!" Han Qi nodded, turned around and walked out. After taking a few steps, his body shook a little, and he almost fell, but he finally stood up straight and walked out of the room with his head held high.

Behind him, Li Ze looked at his back with a smile.

Such an ending, or the best. He is also worthy of Gao Yu's loyalty in this life.
