The news of Xue Ju's violent death spread to Daxing City, which made the atmosphere in the palace ease a lot. Want? See?? Book ???·

Previously, Li Shimin was sent back due to illness, and 100,000 Tang troops fought in Beidi County, but only a few thousand people returned, which made the Daxing puppet court shrouded in a layer of haze.

Li Yuan was iron-colored and iron-blue, and secretly scolded his second son for being careless and careless, and fell for Xue Ju's poisonous plan.

Most of Li Jiancheng's advisers and cronies breathed a sigh of relief, worried that Li Shimin would make too many meritorious contributions and would take away the limelight from the son, and now he is suffering from serious dysentery, and he has come back to recuperate from his injuries, and his troops have been defeated, and his aura has disappeared for the time being.

"Xue Ju suddenly died violently, the Western Qin army stopped the attack, retreated to a hundred miles, and stopped in Changwu City in Beidi County, and Xue Rengao ascended the throne as the emperor of Western Qin."

"Congratulations to King Tang, this Xue Rengao, the minister has already heard of it, he is a brave and unscrupulous person, not to mention 100,000 troops, that is, 10,000 soldiers and horses, he is not the material to control the overall situation, it will not be long, it will definitely be chaotic in civil affairs, the army is discouraged, and defeats are coming out one after another, as long as our army selects the elite and divides the troops to outflank and intercept, it will definitely be able to break the Western Qin army."

After Li Yuan heard this, he nodded slowly, his expression softened, this is indeed good news, otherwise, he has been sad for the past two days, and he doesn't know how to resist the attack of Xue Ju's 200,000 army

"Liu Changshi, General Murong and others have all been captured alive, and they need to be rescued, besides, the generals in the city, who can go to meet Xue Rengao's army!"

Wailang Yu Wenying, a member of the military department, stood up and said: "The minister thinks that since the prince started the army, he has controlled the left army and led the troops in a good way, so he can be worthy of this heavy task." ”

Li Yuan hesitated, because Li Jiancheng was the eldest son, the future prince candidate, Li Yuan was worried that he would have a mistake, which would affect the successor candidate, after all, Li Shimin was ill, Li Yuanji was not a climate, only Li Jiancheng had a stable personality and was the best candidate to ascend the throne in the future, so Li Yuan did not admit to sending him to the expedition.

Li Jiancheng stood up and said: "Father, the son is willing to lead the troops to control the overall situation, please rest assured, the father is charged, there will be generals to do it, and the son only needs to sit in the Chinese army and command and dispatch." ”

Li Yuan agreed, but divided the troops into three routes, Li Jiancheng brought 50,000 Chinese troops, Yin Kaishan, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Wenjing and others led the right army, 30,000 horses, and Li Daoxuan, Dai Yuanxiang, Wang Changhuan and others led the left army, also 30,000 horses.

More than 100,000 troops set out from Jingzhao County to intercept the Western Qin army in Beidi County.

………

Jincheng-gun.

After Luo Zhaoyun learned the news of Xue Ju's violent death, he was stunned at first, and then nodded with a sigh, the historical event is really quite accurate, if there is no strong external force to interfere, it will still be staged according to the original trajectory.

"Good news, that's good news!" The five privy councillors and deputy envoys of the Privy Council applauded when they received this news of the military situation.

"Xue Ju led the army, just defeated the 100,000 Tang army, and was about to attack Jingzhao County, but suddenly died, is it really accidental?" Guo Xiaoke couldn't help but think about it, curious and speculative.

Yu Zhining said: "Whatever, as soon as Xue Ju dies, his son Xue Rengao will not be able to make a climate, and if he has courage or no strategy, Xiqin will be finished." ”

Du Ruhui couldn't help but nod and said: "Yes, when the time comes, our army will take the opportunity to move eastward, and more than ten counties in Longyou, I'm afraid that our Northwest Army and Li Tang's army will be divided." ”

Zhu Suiliang pondered: "As soon as the Western Qin is destroyed, our Northwest Army will confront Li Tang's army head-on. ”

Luo Zhaoyun had an unfathomable expression, he had expected it, but he still couldn't guess the mystery.

The strategists and generals did not understand the approach of the alliance between the young marshal and Xue Ju before, but in less than half a year, everyone saw something unusual.

The Western Qin army and Li Tang's army were both defeated, and Xue Ju died violently, so the previous alliance would be automatically invalidated, and after Xue Rengao's army was defeated, at least half of the ten counties of Longyou would be occupied by the Northwest Army.

Although Li Tang's army finally defeated Western Qin and was able to take the opportunity to take away a few counties, after all, it lost more than 100,000 troops and injured its vitality, and then dealt with the heavy army in the northwest, it would be at a disadvantage.

This trick broke the game, and it really turned the tide and worked wonders.

Luo Zhaoyun pointed to the map and said: "Everyone, Xue Rengao's defeat is doomed, we will now study how to wait for the defeat of Western Qin, send troops to Longyou, you see, Huichuan County, Longxi County, Pingliang County, Tianshui County, Hechi County, Hanyang County bordering Jincheng, our army will occupy it, Li Tang Army will definitely not let go of Beidi County, Fufeng County, Anding County, Honghua County, etc., due to limited time, we can't conquer all of them, even if they are forcibly occupied, the foundation is not strong, and it is easy to be taken away by Li Tangjun, so, this time, We have set a preliminary target for six counties. ”

Everyone nodded, showing joy, and their eyes sparkled, because if the six counties of Longyou were included, then the power of the Northwest Army would become greater.

The silent Hou Junji suddenly said: "Hechi County and Hanyang County are close to the land of Bashu, and the last general has an idea, whether they can seize the area of Shu County, so that they can control Bashu, so that the rich grain and grass of Bashu can be used by our army, and the idea of Li Tang's army occupying Bashu can be eliminated. ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, he had already had this idea, but in the past, there were not enough troops and personnel, so he couldn't stretch the battle line, but now he can think about how to take Bashu.

Although Shu is a gathering place for ethnic minorities, since the end of the Qin Dynasty and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Bang gained a foothold in the land of Bashu, after Xiao He's rectification and reform, hundreds of years, Bashu has been integrated into the Central Plains culture, the Han population has increased, the land is rich, and the grain production is sufficient.

But who should be sent to lead the troops? First of all, this person must not be ambitious, otherwise it will be easy to establish himself as a king in Bashu. Second, he must know how to lead troops and be able to recruit local thieves, rebels, and local armed forces in Bashu.

At this time, Luo Zhaoyun once again felt the shortage of talents, especially the lack of military generals who were in charge alone, and many generals were still young and immature after all, and they could not take on big responsibilities for the time being.

Luo Zhaoyun thought secretly in his heart: "Xu Shiji, Cheng Zhijie, Pei Renji and others are all great generals, and when Li Mi dies, we must take these people away as much as possible in advance, and we can't give them to Li Tang." ”

"What General Hou said is very reasonable, but you, Hou Junji, Xue Wancheng and others, have to deal with Li Tangjun, and they can't be transferred to Bashu for the time being, so who to send, there is no suitable candidate for this commander."

At this time, Cheng Mingzhen arched his hand and said: "If the young marshal can be trusted, his subordinates are willing to lead the troops." ”

This Cheng Mingzhen has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, after the general, but the family road declined, and he has not been used by the imperial court to enter the career, once under the account of Dou Jiande, after being captured by Luo Zhaoyun, he has been following him to the northwest.

He has been in local politics for a period of time, and he has also led troops to fight several small battles, and now he has been promoted to the deputy of the Privy Council, which is already reused. But he doesn't want to stay behind the scenes all the time to strategize and deal with military affairs, and he also yearns for the battlefield, Jin Ge Iron Horse, leading the army to fight, and becoming a military general.
