Chapter 485: Reactivating Li Zhenzong
The Northern Desert Grassland is also famous for its war horses, and when Luo Tong swept the north, he also suffered the loss of the Northern Desert Iron Horse. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, Li Shimin thinks more than Li Zhenzong, if the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry is introduced into the Central Plains, and the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry rebels again, what should it do? You need to know that if you are not of my race, your heart will be different!
Furthermore, is Li Zhenzong really reliable, and is there any connection between him and the Northern Desert?
He didn't dare to make a decision, Li Zhenzong was available, but at the same time, he had to guard against it, and it was difficult to ensure that he would not make his previous mistakes again.
Li Shimin hesitated for a long time and said, "But the Northern Desert... It's also an alien race, will they... ”
Li Zhenzong said: "The emperor is too worried, Beimo and my Tang Dynasty have always been friends, since the birth of the new wolf master, and the princess will be married to my Tang prince, how can you have two hearts?" If they enter the Central Plains, they will definitely be able to defeat Xiliang and return the peace of the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Besides, there is a shortage of food in the Northern Desert, and they ask my Datang for food every year, shouldn't they kick my Datang to contribute when they are in trouble?"
Li Shimin thought about it, Beimo and Datang are indeed related by marriage, over the years, Beimo has never rebelled, on the contrary, Datang has been relieving Beimo, just like the food that Luo Yi brought back from Jiangnan last time, all of them went to Beidesert to help the victims of Beidesert, as long as the wolf lord of Beidesert has a little conscience, he will not insert a knife at this time.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin said: "Then I can issue two holy decrees, one is to order the Northern Desert Wolf Lord to lead 150,000 iron horsemen into the Central Plains, and the other is to order Qin Huaiyu to return to Beijing, and I will appoint him as the general of the southern expedition, leading a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses from the four prefecture capitals to assist the Northern Desert Wolf King in eliminating the Jiangnan rebel A Guduo." ”
Li Shimin also prepared to make a secret decree, preparing to mobilize a large army to the border of the Northern Desert and wait for the battle, but he did not say this clearly, this is to prevent the Northern Desert from mutiny, if it mutinies, this army will play a decisive role.
Originally, Li Shimin was worried about the wolf lord of the Northern Desert and was not ready to ask for foreign aid, but at this time, he thought that Jiangnan was indeed in danger...
Eventually, he made up his mind.
"Uncle Huang, you don't have to go to Jiangnan this time, stay in the palace and accompany me, I still have many questions to ask you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Li Zhenzong said respectfully.
He knew very well in his heart that Li Shimin was suspicious of him.
There is a saying that once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, with the last battle of Xiliang, Li Shimin couldn't help but doubt...
Half a month later, outside the White Tiger Pass.
Cheng Yanjin received the holy decree sent by Li Shimin to read out, and the holy decree was very clear, in order to stop the rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, Qin Huaiyu was immediately transferred back to Beijing to serve as the general of the southern expedition, assist the wolf lord of the Northern Desert, and fight the rebels.
"Stinky old man, take a look."
Xu Maogong looked at the holy decree and said, "It seems that the emperor is really in a hurry, otherwise, he will not let the Northern Desert soldiers enter the Central Plains." ”
"I told the emperor before, don't trust foreign races, treat foreign races, you can appease them, in order to seek peace, but you must always guard against it, it is impossible for the emperor not to know the power of this."
Cheng Yanjin said: "I heard from the father-in-law who announced the decree that this idea was from Li Zhenzong, and he was released by the emperor half a month ago and reactivated. ”
Qin Huaiyu said: "Li Zhenzong, this person, his heart is not right, I think, as long as there is a place where he is, there will be no good thing." ”
Wei Chigong said angrily: "The emperor is also confused, how can he be used." ”
"Hey, you can't say bad things about the emperor."
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Li Zhenzong, he is bad, but he has a strategy, in the event of such a strong enemy invasion, if he really helps the emperor, the siege of Jiangnan will be solved." ”
Xu Mao said fairly: "What the eldest grandson said is extremely true, I just hope he won't repeat the mistakes of the past." ”
Qin Huaiyu said: "Master Xu, what about me...?" ”
Duke Xu Mao handed over the holy decree to Qin Huaiyu and said: "Since the emperor has a decree, then you must obey, you should leave now, return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and let the emperor feel at ease." ”
"Your father Qin Qiong, but he can fight habitually, don't embarrass him, this time I go to Jiangnan, I must quell the rebellion!"
Qin Huaiyu smiled and arched his hand and said, "Please rest assured, uncle, my nephew will not disgrace my father!" ”
************
Yanmen Pass.
After the Qiang people were defeated, they learned from the pain and went back to try their best.
Dong Fan said that the best strategy is to lure the enemy out, but in the face of Chu Feiyan, who will not leave the city even if he dies, Dong Fan only talks about it, and there is no specific way.
So, Xiao Chenglong turned his strategy into attacking the city, or forcibly attacking the city!
However, when it comes to siege, we have to talk about siege weapons, and the Qiang people don't have these things in their hands, so they can only make them on the spot, and the simplest one is the ladder. Xiao Chenglong made up his mind and let the soldiers rush overnight... The more the better.
Siege equipment is one thing, and there is another thing that worries him, that is, morale, for the unfamiliar siege, the Qiang people are very afraid, feeling that the enemy is condescending, just like being ambushed, how can not raise the courage.
Xiao Chenglong gathered everyone together and launched a verbal offensive, telling the soldiers about siege techniques, how to dodge, and if attacked, there would be the consequences of retreating from the enemy.
Of course, these were all after consulting Dong Fan, and he found out.
Under his instigation for a whole day, the Qiang sons and daughters finally had some confidence, realized why the previous siege was defeated, and knew what to do in the future.
After resting for three days, Xiao Chenglong's army came to Yanmen Pass again, in order to avoid the situation of insufficient ladders like last time, he brought more than 100 planes this time, even if the first round of attack ladders were all gone, he could continue to attack.
On the city tower, looking at the enemy in the distance, Chu Feiyan had a completely contemptuous look on his face.
But in this look, he was a little unhappy, regretful, then sighing, and so on.
Why is this so?
Because just last night, Sun Yu, Zhao Yong, Sun Jian, and Wang Qing had already led 3,000 people to come. Until now, he still regrets that he shouldn't have informed Pingxing. With the combat effectiveness of the Qiang people, he can completely handle it.
Now, Sun Yu, Zhao Yong and others are here, so he can't get the credit for defending the city, he can only look at it and envy it.
"My lord, General Sun, they are here."
Beside him, a pro-soldier reminded.
Chu Feiyan looked back and saw Sun Yu, Zhao Yong and others walking quickly towards here. He sighed and stepped aside.
"The Qiang are here? Where? ”
Sun Yu, Zhao Yong, Sun Jian, and Wang Qing walked up to the city tower.
Chu Feiyan arched his hand and said, "The last general, Chu Feiyan, meet the generals." ”
"No courtesy."
Sun Yu crossed his waist, looked out of the city, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the Qiang people to be so bold, with only 30,000 soldiers, and dare to offend my Longxi." ”
Zhao Yong smiled: "If they don't come, aren't you lonely?" ”
"Haha... That's a good point. ”
These days, Sun Yu and Zhao Yong have a very strong relationship, and they often talk about everything.
