"Lord, Huang Chou'er has escaped."

Guo Shiheng came over with a knife to report.

At this time, Wang Shichong's face was full of purple red, and his blood was surging all over his body at this time. With only 3,000 remnant soldiers, he stubbornly captured the Wuguan guarded by more than 10,000 people of Li Yuanji.

"Forget it, just run. Hurry up and control the city, don't let him kill him. ”

On the one hand, Wang Shichong asked people to count the arsenal and granaries, and on the other hand, he asked people to reorganize all the Wuguan Tang soldiers who defeated and surrendered into his own army.

"Hurry up and send someone to report to Luoyang and tell Luo Cunxiao that I, Wang Shichong, have defeated Li Yuanji and captured the Wuguan Gate, the gateway to Guanzhong, and I am willing to lead my soldiers to surrender to Daqin."

Yang Wang said, "Now that we have laid the martial arts, why don't we just bother to invest in Luo Cheng, let's use this as a basis to continue to attack the counties and counties, and make a comeback." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head.

He had Luoyang City in his hands at the beginning, and he couldn't win the entire Henan Province, so how can he have a chance to make a comeback now. In this world, the general trend has been decided.

"Forget it, it's no fun to toss anymore, and besides, many of our brothers' families are still in Luoyang City."

Dong Jun offered advice, "Li Yuanji was newly defeated, and he only led hundreds of men and horses to flee to Shangluo, I think that since we plan to surrender to Qin, then we should simply find a way to grab more city territory, so that it will be better to vote for Qin, and we can exchange for more rewards at that time?" ”

"Yes, before Li Yuan can react, let's attack in three ways, sweep Shangzhou all the way, drive Li Yuanji back to Guanzhong, attack Xiyang all the way to Hongnong, it would be better if we could defeat Nanyang."

Although Wang Shichong only had 3,000 defeated soldiers, these 3,000 defeated soldiers were the most elite pro-army under Wang Shichong's command, and this army was still very elite and capable of fighting, otherwise it would be impossible to seize Wuguan at once.

Now that more than 10,000 troops of the Tang army have been surrendered, Li Yuanji has fled in defeat at this time, and the counties outside this pass are indeed empty.

"It's fine."

Wang Shichong nodded, so he sent people to Luoyang to meet Luo Cunxiao in a hurry, and at the same time divided his troops to attack all sides.

Changan.

After Li Yuan won the good news of Li Shimin's great victory in the shallow water plain, and obtained the 80,000 soldiers and horses brought back by Li Shimin, the situation in Guanzhong was stable again.

He sent Li Shimin to lead 80,000 soldiers and horses to personally guard Tongguan.

Then he sent Li Xiaogong, who performed very well in the last war, to lead an army of 20,000 out of Sanguan to strengthen the area of Bashu and Hanzhong, and to control those wavering states and counties strongly.

He also asked the Bashu Han to pay taxes and money and grain to Guanzhong, and send troops to guard the Beijing division.

"Xiao Gong, it's a pity that I didn't follow your advice last time, otherwise I wouldn't have had that big defeat. Now fortunately, Shimin defeated Xue Ju, and now Chai Shao and Xiaoliang have won victory in Longyou, and the states of Longyou have been initially stable. So now that we have cleared Guanlong, the next step is to stabilize Bashu and compete with Luo Cheng for the world, we only rely on a corner of Guanzhong, we have to rely on the money and food population of Bashu. Bashu is rich, but now it is not completely loyal to Chang'an, many local officials and strong warriors are wavering, and the imperial court needs to send a general to deter the guards, I chose you, although you are young, but you have excellent vision and strategy, I believe that you can stabilize Bashu and other places, so that they can become a stable rear of the imperial court, and can continuously provide soldiers and money for the imperial court. ”

Li Xiaogong took the order.

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust."

Li Xiaogong even suggested that after he pacified Bashu, he would build warships upstream, train soldiers, and then go down the river to defeat Xiao Mill in the Jianghan area, and then take Jiangnan Huainan.

"Okay, since you have this ambition, I naturally want to reuse you even more, I will now grant you the ambassador of Shannan and Jiannan, and the general manager of Jiayi Prefecture!"

"King Zhao Jun!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Although Luo Cheng's momentum is now strong, in Li Yuan's opinion, he still has the ability to compete for the world. As long as he can control Bashu in his hands, then he will take Guanlong as the foundation and supply the army with Bashu money and grain.

The second son, Qin Wang Shimin, led the army to fight for Henan, Zhao Jun Wang Xiaogong to fight for Jianghan, and then Li Shentong to Pinghe Xishuofang, there is a great opportunity to repeat the history of Yuwentai's achievement of the great cause of the king with Guanzhong.

At this time, Li Yuan had already walked out of the shadow of Li Jiancheng's defeat of Hongnong.

He sat on the couch with his chin in his hand and a smile in his eyes.

"When you pacify Bashu and conquer Jianghan, then I will use you to level Jianghuai and Dinglingnan, and at that time, I will also crown you as the king of Zhao, grant you ten thousand households, and give you thousands of hectares of fertile land."

This promise made Li Xiaogong excited.

"Back then, Yuwentai and Gao Huan competed for hegemony, Gao Huan occupied the richest Kanto land in the world, with strong soldiers and horses, and a wide territory, and he has always pressed Yuwentai to fight, but in the end, it was the Yuwen family who won the world. Our Li family is now in the middle of the matter, and Xinping has destroyed the Longyou Xue family, and now there is a risk of four stops, there are 800 miles of Qinchuan, and they are invincible. ”

Li Xiaogong felt that there was nothing wrong with Li Yuan's words, Guan Long was indeed the foundation of Wang Ba, and it was extremely dangerous here.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Tongguan, Wuguan, Xiaoguan, and Sanguan are dangerous, they can't just stick to it, especially now that the Qin army is strong, my Datang should also unite in many ways, especially in the land of Hedong, Taiyuan is the top priority, and it must not fall into the hands of others, otherwise it will be difficult to settle in Guanzhong."

"What you said makes sense, I have decided to send Yuanji to Taiyuan to replace Xiao Yu and Yang Yichen."

In fact, if it weren't for the previous defeat of Hongnong, Li Yuan's original plan was to wait for Henan to win, and then let Jiancheng take over the military power of Xiao Yu and Yang Yichen, and let the Li family control the important land in Hedong.

After all, Xiao Yu is the brother of Empress Xiao, and Yang Yichen is the adopted son of the Sui Dynasty clan, and these two will definitely not have the same heart as him, so his plan is to take over the military power of the two before receiving Chan and take over Hedong.

But who would have expected that there would be a big defeat of Hongnong.

"Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the King of Qi is brave and fierce, he can be more reckless, Taiyuan is such an important town, I am afraid that it is not good to hand it over to him, please think twice."

Li Yuan frowned dissatisfied.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

There were chamberlains outside who exclaimed.

Li Yuan got up, but saw Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, actually rushing into the palace.

"Father."

Li Yuan said angrily, "You are not guarding Wuguan, why did you return to Beijing without authorization and break into the palace?" ”

Li Yuanji knelt in front of Li Yuan and hugged his thighs.

"Father, Wang Shichong's thief rebelled, and he seized the martial arts."

Li Yuan only felt dizzy.

Just now he also said that he was going to send Li Yuanji to Taiyuan, Hedong, Li Xiaogong said that Yuanji was too reckless and made him think twice, he was not satisfied, who knew that this third child had been beaten back by Wang Shichong, and even the important land of Wuguan was lost.

"You... You... Unfilial son! ”

Li Yuan pointed at Yuan Ji, his hand trembled for a long time, and in the end he could only say these few words.
