Chapter 389: Dou Jiande Dispatches Troops (2)

After Dou Jiande heard the news that the royal family members of the Dazheng court in Luoyang were rushing to sue for peace in Li Shimin's tent in Leshou, he immediately couldn't sit still, and summoned the civil and military ministers to discuss the matter of sending troops to rescue Luoyang:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Lone King has received the exact news, due to Li Tang's rapid offensive, Luoyang has basically become a lonely city, so today, the Lone King wants to announce one thing to you, the Lone King has decided to send troops to aid Luoyang, and must beat Li Shimin's Tang army back to Guanzhong, and force Li Yuan to cede the land after capturing Li Shimin. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Bin, a member of the Chinese Scholar House, analyzed Dou Jiande and said:

"King! Now the Tang State occupies Guanzhong, Bashu and Jingchu, Zheng State occupies Henan, and we occupy Hebei, which is a situation in which the three sides are facing each other. Hearing that Tang attacked Wang Shichong with all his forces, Zheng's situation became more urgent day by day, and Tang's siege did not relax. Tang's troops are strong, Zheng's troops are weak, and the development trend is inevitably to defeat Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong is defeated, so we have worries about death. For your sake, it's better to rescue Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong is resisting inside, we are attacking outside, and it is certain to defeat the Tang army. If the Tang army is defeated and Wang Shichong is preserved, this is a strategy to maintain a three-point situation for a long time. If Wang Shichong can also be defeated after the Tang army is defeated, then take the opportunity to eliminate him, concentrate our forces and Wang Shichong's forces, and take advantage of the defeat of the Tang army to fight straight to the west, and Chang'an will be able to get it, which is the basis for pacifying the world. Dou Jiande was very happy and said:

"Hmmm! What Lord Liu said is reasonable, this is a good strategy. In addition, King Gu decided to send envoys to Guanzhong to meet Li Yuan, so that we can salute first and then soldier, I don't know that Aiqing is willing to take on this heavy responsibility! Dou Jiande's eyes looked at the people present, and when his eyes stayed on the painting place of the staff waiter Wei Zhi, the staff waiter Wei Zhihua knew that Dou Jiande had chosen himself, and immediately volunteered to step forward and play:

"King! The minister was willing to send an envoy to Guanzhong for the king. Dou Jiande nodded.

"Good! Lord Wei is really my great Zheng Dongliang's talent, and King Gu is very happy. Lord Wei, if you can persuade Li Tang to withdraw from the army and turn the war with our dynasty into a jade silk, then, on the day you return to the dynasty, the lone king will hold a banquet and celebrate your achievements. The staff waiter Wei Chuhua thanked Dou Jiande and said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Dou Jiande looked at Cao Dan again:

"Cao Dan Aiqing!"

"The minister is here!"

"Cao Dan Aiqing! You are my cousin, and you are the confidant of the lonely king, the lonely king named you as the Leshou guard, this soldier, horse, military equipment, money and food supply, the stakes are very high, you have to bother. After Cao Dan listened to Dou Jiande's words, he immediately knelt down and thanked him!

"Wechen thanked the king for his trust, and the king can rest assured that Wechen will definitely raise food and grass for the king, and he will never stop it." Dou Jiande smiled and nodded to Cao Dan.

"Hmmm! Master Grass is serious in his work, and the Lone King believes in you! Only Ling Jing and a very small number of others thought in their hearts - now it's okay, the people of Leshou are going to suffer again. Dou Jiande's soldiers were sharp, all the way to the bamboo, the army went to Huazhou, Wang Shichong's servant shot Han Hong opened the city gate to welcome, so he forced Yuanzhou, Liangzhou, Guanzhou, all of them were laid down, gathered in Xingyang. The Tang Army's emergency military report was placed at the head of Li Shimin's table, and the eldest grandson Wuji reported to Li Shimin:

"Your Highness! That Dou Jiande was like a bamboo, and captured Huazhou, Yuanzhou, Liangzhou, and Guanzhou all the way, and garrisoned Rongyang. Now, our army and Luoyang and Dou Jiande have formed a three-legged situation, and now, the situation facing our army is delicate! If you are not careful, you will be wiped out under this Luoyang City. Li Shimin smiled:

"Huh! Auxiliary! They came just in time. I just fell for my plan to lure the snake out of the hole. The eldest grandson Wuji didn't understand what Li Shimin meant:

"Lord, what do you mean?"

"Huh! Compared with Luoyang, Gu Wang is more worried about Dou Jiande of Shandong Leshou. That Wang Shichong is greedy, and has no mercy for the people's livelihood, and Dou Jiande is different, although this person is from a rogue, but he also has some compassion for the people, but he is good for the people. At the beginning, when Poyu Culture was in time, he let the former Sui officials and palace maids leave. It can be seen that its ambition is not small. And so far he has only been called a king, not an emperor! It shows that its ambition is not small. Therefore, this Wang Shichong is a small matter, and Dou Jiande is the prey that this king wants to hunt the most. Eldest Sun Wuji nodded:

"Your Highness, the humble minister understands." Li Shimin continued:

"Auxiliary! Let's go and see the guests who have come all the way from Luoyang! Li Shimin took his eldest grandson Wuji to the guest tent, only to see that the people in the guest tent were divided into two sides - on one side were Wang Shichong's princes Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Xuanqiong and the guards they brought, and on the other side were Wang Shishi, Wang Shiheng, Wang Shiwei and their children. The two sides occupy one side, and no one cares about the other, and there is only one thing in common, that is, these people all have some injuries of varying severity. After the Tang army on the periphery of the guest tent saw Li Shimin's arrival, he shouted:

"His Royal Highness King Qin has arrived!" When the people in the guest tent heard this voice, they were all excited and didn't know why.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!" Li Shimin ignored these people who flattered him, and walked into the guest tent with a lonely face, and the people in the guest tent took the initiative to give way. Li Shimin sat on the main seat of the guest tent, and Wang Xuanying took the initiative to greet Li Shimin:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I am Wang Xuanying, the crown prince of Dazheng! This time, before coming down, he was ordered by his father to come to ...... with the Tang Dynasty" After Wang Xuanying saw Li Shimin come in, he immediately had the bottom in his heart, and Wang Xuanying had his own inner thoughts - hum! The King of Qin has already colluded with me, even if you work hard, it will be in vain, and after the palace and the King of Qin make a jump, the widow will show the widow one by one. However, Wang Xuanying was immediately disappointed. Because Li Shimin did not have any affectionate actions towards Wang Xuanying, but said to the Wang clan relatives in the section chief with an expressionless face:

"Ladies and gentlemen of the Wang family, distinguished guests from afar, this king is busy with military affairs, so you have been waiting for a long time." Wang Xuanying himself made a big red face, Wang Shishi, Wang Shiheng, Wang Shiwei and others saw Wang Xuanying's embarrassed appearance, and secretly laughed in their hearts, Wang Shishi opened his mouth and said:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, below is the great Zongzheng of the Dazheng Imperial Court in Luoyang, and this time I came to make ......peace with the Tang Dynasty by the order of the Holy Lord" Wang Shishi's words were not finished, and he was robbed by Li Shimin:

"Lord Wang, you can also stop, everyone, this king is here today to tell you one thing, that is, King Dou of Shandong Leshou has sent troops, and has successively captured Huazhou, Yuanzhou, Liangzhou, Guanzhou, and garrisoned Rongyang. A confrontation with our army was formed. After hearing the news, everyone present was taken aback, especially Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Xuanqiong and other three, and their reactions were even more different. My antique second brother and third brother and other royal relatives opposed my father and forced my father to take the throne, and that day, my father said who could make peace with Li Tang and who would be the next emperor of Da Zheng, it was for me, and my father would not let me go. Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong didn't care about this, but what Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong thought in their hearts was - this matter has nothing to do with me, everything is the eldest brother's head, and it has nothing to do with me, my father only has three sons now, and the eldest brother is finished this time, and when the prince's position is empty, maybe it will be my turn. Li Shimin also noticed the faces of the people present - hum! You gang only know the waste of eating, drinking, and having fun, and if it weren't for the fact that this king asked you to go back and block the king's wealth, this king would have detained you all. Wang Xuanying knelt in front of Li Shimin after the other Wang clan relatives left:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please, please save me." Li Shimin moved Wang Xuanying's face in front of him:

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you better go back! Rest assured, you and Wang Shichong are father and son after all, and you will be fine. Someone! Send off the king for the king! ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, please, please save me." Li Shimin's guards dragged Wang Xuanying out.

After Wang Xuanying, Wang Xuanshu, Wang Xuanqiong and other Wang clansmen returned to Luoyang, they found that Luoyang's soldiers and horses had been completely in the hands of Wang Renze and Wang Shiyun during their departure from Luoyang.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, the crown prince Wang Xuanying is not virtuous, intending to rebel, and now the prince is abolished as a concubine and imprisoned in Yong'an Palace, Qin this." After hearing that Wang Shichong was going to abolish his crown prince, Wang Xuanying shouted:

"Father! Father! The sons are wronged, the sons are wronged! ”

"Drag it off!" After Wang Xuanying was dragged down, Wang Shichong removed Wang Shishi's Dazongzheng and Wang Shiheng, Wang Shiwei and others from their military powers and official positions, and appointed Wang Shiyun as Dazongzheng, replacing Wang Shishi as the patriarch of the Wang family. He also crowned Wang Renze as a captain, and in order to secretly contain Wang Renze's power, Wang Shichong still rewarded the prince in the name of Wang Xuanshu and Wang Xuanqiong's father's worries. He also restored the princess Wang Ying of Guangling, gave Shan Zheng the surname Wang, and changed her name to Wang Zhenghou. Wang Shichong ordered to strengthen the defense of Luoyang and prepare to wait and see the battle between Li Shimin and Dou Jiande. And Li Shimin has already opened his pockets, ready to fight to the death with Dou Jiande. In Dou Jiande's military camp, Ling Jing came to Dou Jiande:

"King!"

"Oh! Ling Jing! There you are! What's the matter? ”

"King! Now that we are confronting Li Tang, it is not a long-term solution after all, and Weichen thinks that the whole army should cross the Yellow River to the north, capture Heyang, Huaizhou, and arrange the main general to defend it. Then he led a large group of men and horses to beat drums and raise flags, crossed the Taihang Mountain, and drove into Shangdang County, bluffing to hide the purpose, and did not have to trouble fighting. Speeding up to Hukou, gradually disturbing Pujin, and seizing the land east of the river is the best policy. There are three advantages to implementing this policy: First, if you go to a place where there is no one to defend, the army will be foolproof; the second is to expand the territory and recruit soldiers; The third is that the Tang army's encirclement of Wang Shichong will be lifted by itself. After listening to Ling Jing's words, Dou Jiande said:

"You let this king think about it!"
