The Tang army had already set up an ambush, how could Jiang Tong be allowed to escape easily?

The morale of the Liang army collapsed, and they were killed by the Tang army and scattered.

Jiang Tong wanted to break through under the protection of a group of soldiers, but was beheaded by the rushing Tang army.

After the battle lasted for half an hour, the Liang army was killed and surrendered.

The eldest grandson Wuji came to Li Shimin in a military uniform and said: "Lord Wang, the enemy forces attacking the camp have all been resolved, and today's plan is to attack the city at night." ”

Li Shimin responded, and immediately ordered a Tang army to change into the clothes of the soldiers of the Liang State, and let them deceive the city gate first, while he led the rest of the soldiers to follow closely behind.

However, it was said that after this Tang army pretending to be the Liang army came to the city of Luzhou, he hurriedly shouted: "I have won Tang Tong's plan, General Jiang has been killed, let us enter the city quickly." ”

Liang Jun on the city tower glanced down by the firelight, and saw that it was indeed their Liang soldiers, so he hurriedly put down the drawbridge and opened the city gate.

And just as the city gate was opened, the Tang army quickly rushed away and cut the rope of the drawbridge with one sword.

Seeing this, Liang Jun on the city tower was shocked and shouted: "It's not good, it's a plan, close the city gate quickly." ”

The Liang army was startled, and when he was about to close the city gate, the Tang army had already attacked, and before they could react, they were killed by the Tang army.

"Jiang Tong is dead, my Tang army and horse will arrive later, if you want to live, surrender quickly." A Tang soldier shouted loudly, and immediately after, Li Shimin rushed from behind with a large army.

The Liang army in the city of Luzhou saw that the general trend had gone, so they did not resist, and fled in all directions, and those who could not escape could only disarm and surrender.

After the night passed, the sky was bright, and Luzhou City was in the hands of the Tang army.

And after dawn, Li Shimin immediately ordered people to appease the people in the city, since Luzhou City was captured, then this place is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people here are also the people of the Tang Dynasty.

It must be appeased.

These eldest grandsons Wuji are the most experienced, so they are all handed over to him.

Not long after the Tang army captured Luzhou City, a fast horse had already left Luzhou City and headed for Lingzhou.

Prince Li Jiancheng led 100,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Lingzhou City.

Among them, 80,000 soldiers and horses resisted the 150,000 troops of the Turks, and 20,000 soldiers and horses defended against the Liang State and the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Later Sui in the east.

It can be said that Lingzhou was under great pressure at this time, and it could be broken by the Turks, Liang State, and Later Sui at any time.

And just when Lingzhou was in danger, the Liang State scouts had already rushed to Lingzhou City.

"Your Majesty, Li Shimin, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, led 7,000 soldiers and horses to take my Luzhou City, and looking at their appearance, they are ready to directly capture the capital of our Liang Kingdom and destroy my Liang Kingdom."

When the news came, Liang Shidu's expression was suddenly shocked, and he shouted: "Waste, there are 5,000 soldiers and horses in Luzhou City, and Tang Tong was taken away, what use do I want you people to do?" ”

Liang Shidu scolded, and the ministers stood in the camp tent and were silent, only Chen Chen, the military advisor of Liang Shidu, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is not the time to be angry, Li Shimin is good at using soldiers, if he really breaks through the capital, I am afraid that our Liang State will be finished, and it is imperative that Your Majesty immediately send troops back to help." ”

Liang Shidu frowned and said, "I have already agreed with the Turks to support them here, if we draw troops, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?" ”

"Your Majesty, the life and death of the Liang Kingdom, so can you still take care of the Turks? Besides, if you can cover up and kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, this will be a big blow to the Tang Dynasty, and maybe you can crush the morale of the Tang Dynasty at once, so it can be regarded as helping the Turks. ”

Chen Chen said a few words, and the Liang Shi he said said yes again and again.

"Okay, according to the words of the military advisor, draw troops back and recapture Luzhou."

Chen Chen bowed his head, but said: "Your Majesty will definitely go back, but you also want to bring back Yang Zhengdao of the Later Sui Dynasty, as soon as we come, we will all go, even if the Turks want to find faults, there are people with us as companions, and moreover, borrowing 10,000 soldiers and horses from the Later Sui, it will be easier for us to destroy the Tang Army, I heard that the Tang Army still has a group of soldiers and horses, which is rushing to Yunzhou in the Later Sui, so Yang Zhengdao cannot not be in a hurry." ”

After hearing this, Liang Shidu bowed his head, and then came to the Hou Sui military camp with a few soldiers and horses.

Later Sui Emperor Yang Zhengdao was about twenty years old, he was young, quite a bit of the style of Emperor Yang of Sui, he saw that Liang Shi was coming, his expression was arrogant, and he did not take him seriously.

Although both armies applauded with the Turks at this time, it was also true that the Liang division was anti-Sui back then, so Yang Zhengdao was very displeased with this Liang division.

"Why did you come to the widow?" Yang Zhengdao sat on the dragon chair and did not get up, Liang Shidu was very angry in his heart, but when he thought of Chen Chen's words, he could only suppress his anger, and said: "Li Shimin, the king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, led the troops to attack our Liang and Hou Sui, and now my Liang State and Luzhou have been lost, and your Later Sui's Yunzhou is only afraid that it will soon be captured by the Tang army. ”

Yang Zhengdao had already heard about the Tang army's approach to Yunzhou, and he was very worried, but at this time, Liang Shi asked him to send troops back together, and obviously he didn't have any good intentions.

This made Yang Zhengdao very entangled.

"It turns out that your Luzhou has been lost, but the widowed Yunzhou is impregnable, and it will definitely not be captured by the Tang army."

There was a lot of sarcasm in Yang Zhengdao's words, and Liang Shi was angry and about to explode, at this time, Chen Chen suddenly stood up: "Emperor Sui is right, Yunzhou is indeed solid, but before Luzhou is captured, how can Luzhou not be impregnable?" And if our army draws troops, do you think your 10,000 soldiers and horses are the opponent of the Tang army's 20,000 soldiers and horses, I'm sure that as soon as we leave, the Tang army will inevitably launch a fierce attack on your Hou Sui, and at that time, Emperor Sui will be ready to escape. ”

Yang Zhengdao frowned, but Chen Chen was not afraid at all, and continued: "Liang and Hou Sui, it can be said that they are cold lips and teeth, whether it is Turkic or Tang, they are by no means good, it is not easy to survive in the gap between these two countries, we should abandon our previous suspicions and help each other, otherwise it will be too late to become slaves of the country." ”

After Chen Chen's words, Liang Shidu stood up again: "I don't know what Emperor Sui wants?" If we are willing to draw troops, our 20,000 soldiers and horses will go back, and we will join forces with the soldiers and horses of our Liang State and kill Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in the city of Luzhou, how about it? ”

Although Yang Zhengdao knew the intentions of the Liang division, he also knew that after the retreat of the Later Liang, he would not be able to support himself, and he was afraid that he would be overturned, thinking that Yunzhou was also a crisis, if he could break the soldiers and horses of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, in Luzhou, Yunzhou might not be able to solve itself.

"Hmph, for the sake of serving the Turks, the widow will go with you to destroy Tang Tong."
