Volume 2 Debt Repayment Chapter 97 Jingyou Two Prefectures

"What, how did he know this news" Li Shimin was so shocked that he slapped the table and stood up, thinking that this matter would not be spread, who knew that this Li Chengyang had already run away, and now he would have to live and die with the bridge on the Weishui River?

I asked the time of the guards, it would take more than two hours to go back and forth, and now it was past noon, and according to the news brought by the messengers, I am afraid that the war had officially begun.

"You go back, bring the prince back to me immediately, leave quickly with my instructions, no matter what he says, don't care about him, go quickly" Li Shimin hurriedly drove the guards away, and stood alone in the study thinking carefully about the current situation.

The twelve guards are all in the vicinity of Chang'an, each stationed at the road leading to Chang'an, and the closest to Chang'an is Cheng Yanjin's right guard, in the morning has been ordered to gather their own army, Cheng Yanjin may have gathered the army now, and now he is the most likely to rush to the bridge to reinforce him, and the rest of the guards rushed there, afraid that the corpses are cold.

Send someone to send a message to Cheng Yanjin, telling him to urgently go to the bridge for reinforcements, as fast as he can.

frowned again and thought about it, and shouted outside the hall: "Chuan Duan Zhixuan."

The people guarding the door hurried away, and it didn't take long for Duan Zhixuan, who was on alert, to rush over.

"Choose a thousand from the Xuanjia army, no, two thousand, you personally take it to the bridge to reinforce the prince, no matter what, you must bring the prince back to me" Li Shimin made a bloody investment this time, the Turks came so quickly, no one expected that the troops could not be gathered, and Li Shimin could only watch the Turkic invasion.

The Xuanjia Army is what he uses to prevent possible riots in the city, and now he can't take care of it so much, this batch of Xuanjia Army is the only formed army that can be used at the moment, Cheng Biting Jin's right guard to the bridge, maybe it was dark at that time, after all, the march of the large army and the march of the small army are completely different.

Duan Zhixuan left with the order, and the Xuanjia Army was ready to go at any time, and he randomly ordered two thousand people and drove out of the palace.

Li Shimin looked back at the map hanging behind the bookcase, looked at the location of the bridge and didn't know what he was thinking, and squeezed out a sentence from his mouth with hatred for a long time: "Jingzhou Luo Yi, Youzhou Zhang Jin, good, if anything happens to my son, you will be killed."

The outer city that Jingzhou has just established is extremely hard, if Luo Yi is really ruthless, and the Turks are not good at attacking cities, it is not a problem to resist for ten days and a half months, even if there are not many troops in Luo Yi City, let the Turks go, and then constantly send troops to harass, so that the Turks can not march with all their strength, and they can drag on for three or two days, with these three or two days, Li Shimin can transfer the surrounding forces to Chang'an, with the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks will definitely not be pleased.

Luo Yi didn't have any reason not to send troops, he also fought all the way, it was more victories than defeats, and he was also a well-known figure at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and in the end, it was Datang's footsteps that went too fast and Luo Yi lost the opportunity, so he voted for Li Tang, to say that he couldn't fight? No way.

And as soon as Li Shimin ascended the throne before, he gave Luo Yi's official position to the extreme, ranking as the third duke, and he was more favored than the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others.

There's nothing to be sorry for Luo Yi, so Luo Yi is still so inactive, there is only one reason, that is, Luo Yi has long had an antipathy, and wants to use this to weaken Li Shimin's strength, in case he hits the big luck and the Turks invade Chang'an, then he Luo Yi can even take advantage of the weakness with the banner of King Qin, and it is not impossible to modify Luo in this world.

Then there is Zhang Jin of Youzhou, this person is an old minister of the same era as Li Yuan, he used to be the right imperial guard general of the former Sui, and followed Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to earn Goryeo, without the slightest achievement, Li Yuan gave Li Yuan a lot of support in secret when he raised the army, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he was tied up in Luoyang and couldn't get out of the city, or Li Shimin rescued people after Wang Shichong destroyed him.

In May last year, that is, in May of the eighth year of Wude, Li Yuan secretly hinted to Zhang Jin, your old man is also old, and it is almost time to retire, not that I hold the official position, I am really reluctant to work hard, it is better to find a place to be a rich man, and think about the joy of humanity.

This is obvious enough, for any person, seeing the emperor of the founding of the country say this to him, he also borrowed the slope to submit his resignation, but this Zhang Jin did not have the slightest consciousness, and did not see that old people like Pei Lin were all extremely human ministers, but he was still jumping in place, and replied to Li Yuan I finally met my Mingjun, if not, you will let me continue to mess with you.

Li Yuan was helpless, he knew that Zhang Jin's ability was not good, he had never won any battles in his life, he was either captured by life or on the way to being captured by life, and he was able to become a general completely by relying on the blessing of his ancestors and Li Yuan's care for his brother, and after thinking about it, he gave him the position of General Yulin, that is, the head of the forbidden army in the palace, he couldn't win the battle, and it was not bad to be a janitor.

If this matter is heard, the founding fathers who followed Liu Bang can die of envy.

But Zhang Jin was far from satisfied, no matter how it was worth thinking, until June, the Turks invaded Lingzhou, Zhang Jin asked for orders to go to Lingzhou, Li Yuan repeatedly agreed to its request, named the head of the march, all the way to Lingzhou.

Turkic Koubian is a common thing, as mentioned above, the Turks harassed Lingzhou, which is the place where Tang and Turkic border, there are no people in that place, even if they lose the battle, it will not affect the overall situation, so they simply obey Zhang Jin's wishes.

Who would think that this would cause a big disaster, Zhang Jin was ambitious to destroy this group of Turks, and he must fight the battle beautifully, and strive to make a great contribution to show his face, so he continued to gather nearby government soldiers along the way, and later transferred the defenders of several states around Lingzhou, striving to have a dignified decisive battle with the Turks.

Gathering soldiers and horses all the way, resulting in the information was heard by the Turkic spies, the Turks were looking at Lingzhou and worried, when they heard it, yo, there were no defenders around, so what are you waiting for, giving up Lingzhou and raiding the surrounding Luzhou, Zhuzhou, the road was smooth, not the slightest obstruction, and even the greed was not enough to surround the state, attacked for a while and was blocked, and then retreated.

Zhang Jin was pulled around like a cow with a nose ring, but he didn't even see a shadow of the Turks, and when the Turks retreated, he realized that the infantry couldn't outrun the cavalry, and finally returned to Chang'an.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, before he could ask for the crime, there was news that Jieli Khan's army had arrived in Shuozhou, which was also a similar geographical location as Lingzhou, and Li Yuan didn't care about dealing with Zhang Jin, and at that time it was time to suppress Li Shimin's forces, so he had to make Zhang Jin the head of the march in Bingzhou, ready to make him guilty and make meritorious service.

Zhang Jinle went upside down, and wanted to be ashamed of the snow with great interest, and stationed troops in Shiling to sharpen his knives.

On the tenth day of August, Jieli finally dared to have a decisive battle with him Zhang Jin, and Zhang Jin immediately pressed all the troops up.

The ending can also be predicted, Jie took advantage of the trap that took more than half a month, as soon as Zhang Jin's army came out, the Turkic soldiers from all directions came out, and a charge scattered the Tang army, and the whole army was annihilated, the governor Zhang Dezheng was killed in battle, Wen Yanbo was captured, and later he was unwilling to reveal the information to the Turkic Tang Dynasty, and was exiled to Yinshan, and later returned to the Tang Dynasty, and did the right servant of Shangshu, that is, the later prime minister.

Zhang Jin escaped from the chaos and defected to Li Jing, and then returned to Tang.

Li Yuan couldn't bear to be punished heavily, but just accepted his official position and let him retire in Youzhou.

It was this person who protected himself from fighting when the Turks passed through Jingzhou and went straight to Youzhou, which created the miracle of the Turks' three-day march of 350 miles.

I have to say how powerful the god assist of the pig teammates is, now that the Turks have come to the city, they have caught Li Shimin off guard, so he can't do it now, even if Youzhou can defend for a long time, it is okay to urgently transfer troops to defend Weishui.

It's strange not to hate these two people, but now is not the time to settle the account, Li Shimin is anxiously circling in the room, Li Chengyang He wants to protect, but now he is powerless, now he has to sit in Chang'an, to ensure that there is no chaos in Chang'an City, otherwise the Turks don't have to fight, who knows if those dead soldiers outside will take advantage of the chaos to open a city gate or something.

Leave it to fate, the good thing is that Li Shimin doesn't doubt Li Chengyang now, a prince who can block his life in order to guard the bridge, he still agrees with it very much, if Li Chengyang can come back alive this time, then Li Shimin will give him absolute trust, a prince who still has a youthful spirit, how many bad intentions can he have.

Outside Chang'an City, a torrent of steel came out from the city gate, and after the last person went out of the city, the city gate was slowly closed, and the Xuanjia army was dispatched in large quantities, which would inevitably cause great turmoil, and now the Turkic affairs could not be hidden, Li Shimin also issued the name of the closed city, and stood on the head of the palace with the forbidden army to look around the entire Chang'an City.

Now Li Shimin is facing the biggest challenge, there are many people in the city who disobey him, once there is a riot in the city, then the hidden cows, ghosts, snakes and gods will come out, the outside things have been arranged, it is useless to worry about it, guarding his base camp is the key.

The Xuanjia Army was hidden by him, just in case, the Xuanjia Army led by Duan Zhixuan was galloping rapidly, people may not be able to pay attention to counting the number of Xuanjia Army, seeing that the number is about the same, they may all think that the Xuanjia Army in the palace has poured out, and now the forbidden army around Li Shimin is far worse than Xuanjia, and now is the best time for those bulls, ghosts, gods and snakes to do it.

Duan Zhixuan asked the guards sent back by Li Chengyang before to lead the way, and galloped all the way to the direction of the bridge.

The Xuanjia military base is a heavy armor, painted black, only a pair of eyes are exposed all over the body, the Mo knife in the hand is more than two meters long, sharp and unparalleled, even the horses are wearing heavy armor, it is such a sophisticated equipment to complete the feat of 3,000 to 100,000.

The Xuanjia army has four riders per person, one carrying people, one carrying weapons, one carrying horse armor, and the last empty horse is used to go to the battlefield, which is the standard configuration of heavy cavalry, otherwise before the war starts, the men and horses will be so tired that they can't get up.

"How far is it, how was His Highness when you came back," Duan Zhixuan asked the guard.

"Half an hour after running, the Turks didn't appear when I came back, and now about two hours have passed, maybe just the battle, general, we can catch up now, but please run faster, brothers" The guard returned on horseback.

For half an hour, Duan Zhixuan looked into the distance, didn't know what he was thinking, thought about it for a long time, and ordered:

"Throw away all the horses, only the upper half of the armor is left, all the horses are empty, march at full speed, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still waiting for us."

"Wow!".
