Chapter 319 Soldiers are in Daxing

-----{Due to some unexpected things that have happened recently, I can't update it in time, and I ask for your forgiveness!} }---

After Li Yuan successfully captured Huoyi and opened the passage to enter Guanzhong, some big families who were still hesitating made up their minds one after another, either to take refuge in Li Yuan, or to belong to Su Shang, etc., each with its own plans and ideas.

It is precisely because of this that Li Yuan's strength has increased rapidly, and the army soon reached more than 200,000 people.

It also seems to be too bad to run, Li Yuan and his son led the army south along the Fenshui, all the way to attack the city and plunder the land, once again marched vigorously, occupied Linfen, Kejiang County, and it didn't take long for the troops to fall under the east city of the river.

However, their good fortune ended here, and they were once again blocked under the thick walls of the city.

The general stationed in Hedong City was the general of Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard, and the great Shi Qu Tutong who was a brave and warlike general with 80,000 soldiers under his command.

"Qu Tutong, the defender of the city, is a famous general in a hundred battles, and his people are good at seizing fighters, but he is cautious, and it is difficult for us to lure him out of the city."

Li Yuan looked at the generals and sighed a little, and asked, "What can the generals do?"

At this time, his face was very bad, gloomy as water, the army was blocked in Hedong City for more than ten days, no matter how provocative his soldiers were, how insulting, Qu Tutong just made up his mind to defend it.

Facing Hedong City, which has strong walls and thick walls, Li Yuankong has an army of more than 200,000 people, but he is like a mouse pulling a turtle, and he has no way to start.

Everyone pondered for a while, and Liu Wenjing said softly: "Hedong City has thick walls, and there are 80,000 soldiers stationed with famous generals like Qu Tutong, if we choose to attack, it is impossible to achieve it with only the current more than 200,000 soldiers." In that case, can we bypass Hedong City and directly attack its rear targets? ”

Li Yuan was suddenly a little moved, looked at the generals, and asked, "What do you think?"

"I don't think so!"

Pei Lin shook his head and said, "There are 80,000 Sui troops in the city, it is too dangerous to keep them, once we bypass them, it is likely to cause the Sui army to attack in front and rear." Moreover, Hedong City is in the middle, and our logistical grain routes are not safe, and it is difficult to transport all kinds of weights! ”

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I think it's okay!" We can leave tens of thousands of soldiers here to contain them, and then lead the main army to make a detour. As for grain and grass, it is the harvest season at this time, and we can collect it on the spot, or capture Yongfeng Cang. ”

……

The sun rises, the soft sunlight spreads all over the earth, and the Daxing City under the morning sun is misty and majestic, like a golden beast overflowing with golden light, which is waking up from the silence.

Looking at the tall and majestic city in front of him, all the generals were very excited, and even Li Yuan, the main general of the army who was usually moody, was also in a surging mood at this time, and couldn't help but show a smug smile.

At the meeting a month ago, Li Yuan finally decided to take Liu Wenjing's suggestion to bypass Hedong City and directly attack the target behind Hedong City.

The day after the meeting, Li Yuan left 80,000 soldiers to camp in the same place to contain Qu Tutong, but he himself led an army of 150,000 to march by night and secretly bypassed Hedong City.

In the next month or so, Li Yuan led the main force of the army to attack the city and plunder the land, and the progress went smoothly, and he successfully appeased Sun Hua, the leader of the rebel army in Guanzhong, increased the number of troops by 60,000, and successfully captured Yongfeng Cang, solving the problem of grain and grass for the army...

Until yesterday evening, Li Yuan led more than 200,000 troops to reach the outside of Daxing City. The army rested for one night, and early this morning, Li Yuan ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and personally led the generals to demonstrate and inspect before arriving at the city gate.

Everyone is a smart person, and they all know the meaning of Daxing City. Daxing City, as the capital of a country, has a long history in the Central Plains people. As the history of the capital of the Central Plains court, Daxing City can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty at the earliest, and the location of the pickaxe capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty is Daxing City.

For more than 1,000 years, Daxing City has gone through wind and frost, and has become the capital of the three major Central Plains unified courts of Qin, Han and Sui.

At this time, although Daxing City is no longer the first capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, and its importance in the Great Sui Court has declined, it is still one of the two major capitals of the Great Sui Court, and as the founding capital of the Great Sui, it still has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of the people.

They all understand that as long as they and others succeed in taking Daxing City, then in this war against the world, their side is already one step ahead, and they have more hope of seizing the world, and they will be the founding emperor and the founding general in the future, and they will be famous all over the world and will be famous for generations.

"General, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the last general recommends attacking the city immediately."

Hou Junji was a little anxious, and urged him to come forward and suggest, "The last general is willing to be the vanguard and capture Daxing City for the general!" ”

Li Yuan was a little moved, but he didn't say yes, but looked back at the generals and said with a smile: "What do you think?"

"I am not in favor of a siege at this time. There are 100,000 defenders in the city, Daxing City and the city walls are deep and high, all kinds of soldiers and helmets are fully equipped, if they attack strongly, the soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties. For Daxing City, it is best for us to outwit and not storm it. ”

Li Jiancheng directly denied it, and said in a deep voice: "Our hundreds of thousands of soldiers are coming to the city, and the big families in the city must react, I think we should wait for the changes to take place in the city at this time."

"Good! Then don't attack the city for the time being! ”

Li Yuan said with a smile, he also thought that his son was right, the big families are good at betting, at this time his hundreds of thousands of troops have surrounded Daxing City, there must be people in the city who want to add to the flowers, he only needs to wait patiently for a few days, waiting for them to make a decision, and then with them, he will definitely be able to greatly reduce the casualties of his soldiers.

"However, the army should send more scouts to comprehensively monitor the surrounding counties of Daxing City, and once we find that reinforcements from the court are coming, we will besiege the city and send reinforcements."

…

Different from Li Yuan's relaxation, Yang Yu, the master of the city, was full of sadness at this time, and said, "What is the way for the two adults to retreat?"

The two were silent, and after a long while, the Yin World Master said: "The Li thieves are powerful, it is not appropriate to collide with them, we had better defend the city now and wait for reinforcements!"

Gu Yi nodded in agreement, "Daxing City is surrounded by deep walls, we have 100,000 soldiers, and it is not difficult to defend Daxing City!" ”

After speaking, he was a little worried: "However, the old minister is more worried about the big families in the city. Most of the generals in the army are from families, and once a family takes refuge in Li Thief, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Yin Shishishi's face suddenly changed when he heard this, most of the generals in the army were from big families, once their family defected to Li Yuan, these generals would definitely defect to Li Yuan, because they would only be loyal to the family, not the court. However, this is an unsolvable problem, and there is no way for the Yin World Master.
