The 577th Round, the Battle of Chang'an City (9)

Han Tao was fighting with Hu Dahu, and he said to Hu Dahu, apprentice, why don't you kneel when you see the teacher, and dare to grab a knife in front of the teacher!

As soon as Hu Dahu heard this, his heart was "chuckled".

Hu Dahu was a little stunned at that time.

******

Hu Dahu's heart "chuckled" all of a sudden, and there is a certain basis, do friends still remember a story in "Wild Grass and Beach"?

When I said that the barren grass beach was fighting, I once told such a story:

When he was fighting in the barren grass, Hu Dahu once fought with Han Tao. Hu Dahu's martial arts are stronger than Han Tao's. On their first day of fighting, Hu Dahu had the upper hand. However, Hu Dahu did not win completely. The next day, Hu Dahu was crazy on stage, and he said to Han Tao that as long as Han Tao could win him within three rounds, he would worship Han Tao as his teacher.

At that time, Hu Dahu thought in his heart that my martial arts skills were higher than Han Tao's, and Han Tao wanted to win me within three rounds, which was impossible.

But Hu Dahu didn't expect that Han Tao and his uncle Zhuge Hongtu gave Han Tao a very powerful weapon called the Golden Back Flower Crossbow, and Han Tao really defeated Hu Dahu within three rounds with the Golden Back Flower Crossbow.

For this reason, Hu Dahu was ashamed and left the barren grassland.

Therefore, when Han Tao saw Hu Dahu today, he called Hu Dahu an apprentice, because Hu Dahu said at that time that as long as Han Tao could win him within three rounds, Hu Dahu would worship him as a teacher.

As soon as Hu Dahu heard Han Tao's words, his heart flipped upside down.

******

Let's talk about Han Tao.

Han Tao was stunned when he saw Hu Dahu, and he took the opportunity to slip past Hu Dahu's approach.

It is endorsed in the book that if Hu Dahu concentrates, Han Tao will not be able to kill him.

After Han Tao killed, he ran towards the gate of Chang'an City.

At this time, the people sent by Wang Yan to pick up Han Tao also arrived.

******

The book says briefly.

Han Tao entered the city.

I'll say one more thing in advance here, just because Hu Dahu was stunned today, and he encountered something later.

******

Let's start with the present.

After Han Tao entered the city, Wang Yan discussed with Han Tao, De Feixiong, and Dai Rong what to do next, whether to continue to fight with Xishu here, or return to the army.

Wang Yan mainly looks at Dai Rong's meaning.

Wang Yan had discussed that issue with De Feixiong and Dai Rong, but De Feixiong and Dai Rong had no idea.

Han Tao thought for a while, and he said to Wang Yan: "Your Majesty, the minister has a word, I don't know if it's right?" ”

Wang Yan said: "Han Aiqing, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Han Tao said: "The minister thinks that it is better to withdraw from the army. First, if you don't withdraw from the army and fight Li Siyuan, you won't be able to fight at all; Second, even if he can beat Li Siyuan, there is still a happy week in the north; Third, if the troops are not withdrawn, there will be enemies in the north and east, there will be Gao Xingzhou in the north and Li Siyuan in the east. If we withdraw, we will only have the enemy in the north. “

Wang Yan said: "Okay. ”

Han Tao said again: "It is estimated that now that the men and horses of Xingzhou have taken down the entire Yanzhou and Lingzhou, we will not retreat, we are very dangerous." Let's not return to Chengdu, let's retreat to the junction of our Xishu and Li Tang. Let's give him a mountain to watch the tiger fight. Let's take a look at the good drama between Gao Xingzhou and Li Siyuan. When Happy Zhou and Li Siyuan are both defeated, it will not be too late for us to try Chang'an. ”

Wang Yan listened: "Okay." ”

********

On the night of this day, Wang Yan took his people out of Chang'an City.

Wang Yan and Li Tangjun had a fierce battle.

After a fierce battle, Wang Yan's army was slaughtered out of the encirclement of Li Tang's army.

Wang Yan had an army of 80,000 or 90,000, and it was not so easy for Li Tangjun to block them.

After Wang Yan's army came out, Li Tang's men and horses chased after him for a while and did not follow closely.

******

Let's talk about Wang Yan's people first.

After Wang Yan's men and horses were killed from Chang'an City, he withdrew to the place where Xishu and Li Tang were handed over and stopped, they wanted to wait here for the opportunity to wait for the next step of Li Tang's men and horses and the "good show" of Xingzhou and Zhou.

Wang Yan knew that Xingxing Zhou and Li Tang were incompatible, and there would inevitably be a big battle between Li Tang and Xingzhou in the next step.

******

Let's talk about Li Siyuan.

After Wang Yan withdrew from Chang'an, Li Siyuan's men entered Chang'an.

At this time, there are still many problems plaguing Li Siyuan:

First, the happy Zhou in the north is growing stronger, and the happy Zhou has occupied Yanzhou and Lingzhou;

Second, there is still a Wang Yan in the south who is eyeing him, Wang Yan has not completely withdrawn to Chengdu, and he is still there with bad intentions;

Third, after the withdrawal of troops from Western Shu, many places around Chang'an, which were previously occupied by Western Shu, have yet to be regained.

Although the third question is not difficult, it will take time and effort to deal with.

Li Siyuan thought for a while: Now that I am an enemy on both sides, this is very dangerous for me. There is Wang Yan in the south, and there is Happy Zhou in the north. This move is on my own, and it is not easy for me to solve.

Li Siyuan had no choice, so he had to ask the court for help.

After Li Siyuan wrote the letter asking for help, he sent it out.

Subsequently, Li Siyuan sent three groups of men, and he sent Hu Dahu to lead some people to be stationed in the south to prevent a sneak attack by Western Shu; He sent Yu Xiaotian to lead some troops to be stationed in the north in case he was happy, and he sent Zhu Long and Zhu Hu to recover some of the places occupied by the Western Shu army before.

*****

Let's talk about the letter of help written by Li Siyuan to the Li Tang court.

When Li Siyuan's letter for help arrived in Luoyang, it was when Guo Chongtao successfully attacked Xuzhou, and the emperor Li Cunqiao saw that Guo Chongtao had freed his hand, so he sent Guo Chongtao to Chang'an to help Li Siyuan.

This picks up on the stubble of the previous book.

In the previous volume, we said that after Guo Chongtao successfully recovered Xuzhou, he immediately received a letter from Emperor Li Cunqiao, and Emperor Li Cunqiao asked him to immediately return to the army to rescue Li Siyuan, which is what happened.

*******

Let's talk about Guo Chongtao.

After Guo Chongtao received the letter from the emperor Li Cunxuan, he did not dare to slack off, and he immediately rushed to Chang'an with his men.

This is the story of the next volume of "Guo Chongtao's Rejection of the Enemy of Xishu" and "Li Siyuan's Rejection of the Enemy's Happy Week".

******

Finally, I will talk about the reason why the Xishu army was defeated again this time.

Why did Xishu lose again?

The unrighteous army will be defeated.

Xishu is an unrighteous army this time, Li Tang didn't recruit you, and he didn't provoke you, why did you send troops to beat people for no reason?

It was because there were some problems with the starting point of Xishu that it was very difficult for Xiao Yingjie to take Tongguan openly, which made Xiao Yingjie owe Dong Yanfeng when he took Tongguan. Coincidentally, Wang Yan sent a brainless Defeixiong to Xiao to meet you as a deputy. De Feixiong was not very good with Xiao Yingjie before, and De Feixiong was suspicious of Xiao Yingjie. In the end, De Feixiong forced Xiao Yingjie to surrender to Li Tang.

With the loss of Tongguan, Xishu was half defeated.

If Xiao Yingjie had not surrendered to the enemy, and if Tongguan had not been lost, the war of Xishu would not have been lost.

If Xiao Yingjie is guarding Tongguan, Li Siyuan can't come, Li Siyuan can't come, he can deal with the sudden Xing Zhou.

If Xishu really dealt with Xingxing Zhou, Xingxing Zhou would not become a climate in the north.

Happy Zhou is a local armed force anyway, how can he deal with the brigade of Xishu?

Just because only a small number of people in Xishu should deal with Happy Zhou, Happy Zhou has become a climate.

This may also be the day when Xishu is defeated, and the day should be happy about the climate of Zhoucheng.
