"It's the prince of Changping County!"

Li Shuliang, the prince of Changping County, the cousin of Li Yuan, the king of Tang, previously served as the governor of Jingzhou for the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.

At this critical time, Li Shuliang, who was stationed in Pizhou City, led 3,000 cavalry and arrived first.

He arrived before Xue Rengao.

Although Xue Rengao also received news from Zong Luohu, there was a lack of food in the army and he was unable to send troops for a long time.

Li Shuliang led 3,000 light horsemen to kill from behind Zong Luohu.

Zong Luohu's heart was full of bitterness.

Obviously, he has 50,000 horses, but he can't win against Li Shimin, who has 20,000 people, and he said before that Li Shimin is a turtle guarding the city and holding on to the city and has no chance to win him, but now that Li Shimin has come out, he didn't expect that he still can't win.

"Stop them!"

Zong Luohu hurriedly dispatched troops to intercept him.

It's just that at this time, although the Western Qin army is numerous, it has been completely entangled with the Tang army, and it is not easy to form a military formation to intercept this newly arrived cavalry.

Before the soldiers and horses gathered, Li Shuliang had already led the cavalry to kill them.

The new force of 3,000 light cavalry broke through the rear of Zong Luohu at once.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zong Luohu directly abandoned the army and fled.

At this time, the morale of the Xue army plummeted, and the infantry and cavalry were defeated and dispersed.

The morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and all of them fought bravely.

Li Shimin was covered in blood, and seeing that Zong Luohu was defeated and fled, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Cavalry, come with me, go straight to Xue Rengao's base camp, and the infantry will follow!" ”

Li Shuliang, who had just joined Li Shimin, hurriedly persuaded, "Xue Rengao still has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, although we have a new victory, but we are also tired of soldiers and horses, don't rush forward." ”

But Li Shimin didn't listen, not that he couldn't listen, but that he knew the danger on the Chang'an side, and he had to decide the winner here immediately, and he couldn't delay it any longer, and he couldn't afford to delay it.

"I've also considered this, but our army has a new victory, and it is the time to take advantage of the victory and march like a bamboo, so there is no need to say more."

After speaking, Li Shimin raised his lance and waved it, and ordered the whole army to pursue.

Li Shimin didn't even have time to take care of the defeated Zongluohu troops, so he let them scatter and flee, and rushed to Xue Rengao's base camp to kill.

At this time, Xue Rengao had actually retreated to Zheqi City, which was also the new capital of the Western Qin Kingdom, where Xue Ju died of illness and Xue Rengao succeeded here.

At that time, he took this as the capital, but he didn't want to return to Qinzhou, and Xue Renguo's plan was to take Chang'an as the capital after entering Chang'an, and the city was just a temporary transition.

But who would have thought that the attack would be so unsmooth.

Xue Rengao has been attacking Changwu City for a long time, but his middle book has made Hao Ying critically ill.

Coupled with the lack of food in the army, Xue Rengao asked Zong Luohu to lead 50,000 horses to stay under Changwu City temporarily, and he led the main force to retreat slowly.

He was in Zheqian City, and he also hoped to raise grain and grass, but Hao Ming, a henchman, was seriously ill, and Chu Liang was also sick. Because he roasted alive and ate Qi Liang, there were not many civil servants in the Western Qin Dynasty, and it became more and more difficult to raise and supply grain and grass.

When Zong Luohu urgently reported that Li Shimin could no longer bear to go out of the city to fight, Xue Rengao could no longer send troops because of lack of food.

Xue Rengao was still losing his temper and urging food in the city, but it was reported that the Tang army had been killed under the city.

Xue Rengao, who heard of the defeat of Zong Luohu, was furious and led the soldiers and horses in the city out of the city to line up.

Under the city.

More than 100,000 Qin troops lined up.

The Tang army, which came from afar, was less than 20,000.

Xue Rengao vowed to capture Li Shimin alive, and then roasted him and ate him.

At this time.

Chu Liang and his son Chu Suiliang, the provincial servants of the Western Qin Sect, with dozens of Western Qin Wenchen and more than a dozen generals, actually rode their horses to the opposite side in front of the battle.

Before he could understand what was going on, Chu Liang had already bowed to Li Shimin.

They actually defected before the battle and joined the Tang army.

The prime minister surrendered to the enemy before the battle.

Xue Rengao almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, but it wasn't over yet.

The army formation of more than 100,000 people, which stretched for more than ten miles, continued to have people who began to break away from their own formation and ran to the opposite side.

The ban is endless, and it cannot be stopped.

There were even whole columns of soldiers running to the opposite side.

This result, even Li Shimin did not expect.

"Marshal, Xue Rengao is tyrannical and cruel, he is definitely not the master, and we were only coerced by him before, helpless to cling, and now I finally look forward to the opportunity to escape."

Li Shimin was simply overjoyed, and hurriedly dismounted and helped Chu Liang's father and son and others up, "The public abandons the darkness and turns to the light, and I can't ask for it." ”

It's only been half a day.

Of Xue Rengao's army of more than 100,000, one-third of them surrendered to the enemy in front of the battle.

The main reason why they did this was because the city had run out of food, and many soldiers had been hungry for a few days, and the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers.

In addition, Xue Rengao is indeed brutal, not only does he like to kill prisoners, but even his own people often abuse and kill. For example, robbing the wives of the generals under his command, and castrating the ministers who offended him, and what to say about emulating the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Gong Taishi Gong, for such a moody, brutal and unkind emperor, when he gained power, everyone was still afraid and did not dare to do anything, but once it was like the current situation, everyone would not be polite to surrender to the enemy.

There was no counterattack before the battle, and it was all because everyone's actions to surrender to the enemy had not been connected.

Xue Rengao saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly collected his troops and returned to the city, if he continued like this, everyone would run out.

But the closure of the city gates could not stop the morale from shaking.

Later, the infantry of the Tang Army arrived, and more than 50,000 people came.

It turned out that the Pizhou infantry behind Li Shuliang also arrived, and at this time, many prisoners who had been defeated in the shallow water plain also joined the Tang army and turned back to attack the city.

The Tang army besieged the city of Zhedu.

A fierce siege and defense battle is about to begin.

To the surprise of the Tang army, the city gate was closed, but there were soldiers on the city who kept putting ropes and climbing down to surrender.

It was a spectacular scene.

60,000 Tang troops besieged the city.

And there were more than 100,000 Western Qin troops in the city.

But the Western Qin army, which defended the city, kept coming down from the city to surrender.

At the city gate, Xue Rengao's henchmen guarded him, and the soldiers came down from the city.

Later, even Xue Rengao's henchmen who were defending the city knew that they couldn't do it, so they opened the city and surrendered.

At dusk.

Xue Rengao was almost alone.

Xue Rengao, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to surrender by himself.

He couldn't run if he wanted to at this time, because the Tang army outside the city had swelled to 100,000 people, half of which was originally his Western Qin army, and the city had been besieged like an iron bucket.

In desperation, Xue Rengao could only ask for surrender.

Li Shimin accepted Xue Rengao's request to surrender, and then ordered all the Western Qin troops to be incorporated into the army.

"Summons all the generals!"

"I have something important to announce."

Li Shimin sat in the temporary palace of the Xue family in the city of Zheqian and breathed a long sigh of relief. Xue Rengao solved it, and finally solved the threat on the Western Front.

Xue Rengao surrendered, broke through the city, and Liu Wenjing, Chai Shao, and other eight governors who were captured during the first defeat of Shallow Water Plains were also rescued.

After meeting, Li Shimin didn't have time to talk to them.

"The commander decided that General Chai Shao and General Li Shuliang would stay in Jingzhou, responsible for recruiting the troops of Western Qin and taking advantage of the situation to capture the land of Longyou."

Li Shimin left them 20,000 Tang troops.

"Ben Shuai and General Liu Wenjing will immediately lead 40,000 soldiers and horses and 40,000 Longqiang cavalry to rush back to Guanzhong."

Liu Wenjing and the others couldn't understand why Li Shimin was so anxious to go back, this was a good time to take advantage of the situation to sweep away all the land of Western Qin in one fell swoop, which was a great achievement.

At this time, Li Shimin took out Li Yuan's letter from his arms and showed it to the public.

"Guanzhong is in danger, we must rush back to reinforce Tongguan and defend Chang'an!"

The generals all exclaimed, and even shocked!
