Chapter 256: Peace
In the next few days, everyone was waiting in Black Rock City, Li Shimin inquired about the movement in the direction of Chang'an on the one hand, and paid attention to King Xiliang on the other hand, whether there was a tendency to negotiate peace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
If you want to negotiate peace, then you don't need to attack city by city, if the king of Xiliang doesn't mean that, then the battle with Xiliang will not be resolved so quickly.
After the barbarian bull retreated, he no longer dared to fight against the Tang army, retreated to the hinterland of Xiliang, and moved closer to Jincheng.
Five days later, King Xiliang finally sent someone to meet Li Shimin in Black Rock City.
As Luo Yi and Xu Maogong guessed, King Xiliang finally relented, and King Xiliang also said that he didn't want to start a war with the Tang Dynasty, everything was instigated by Xiao Wenlong, and he was bewitched by Xiao Wenlong.
Li Shimin originally vowed to set foot in Xiliang, but unfortunately Chang'an was in a hurry and had to withdraw his troops. Thinking of this, Li Shimin only agreed to the peace of King Xiliang, but at the same time, Li Shimin also put forward many harsh conditions, such as Xiliang to pay a large amount of taxes to the imperial court every year, war horses, etc.
Also, in the future, between Datang and Xiliang, it will no longer be bounded by Jiepai Pass, but by Black Rock City.
For these, King Xiliang agreed to all of them and promised to be friends with Datang forever. Between the words, he also wanted to marry the princess of Xiliang into the Tang Dynasty, but for this, Li Shimin did not agree immediately, but said that he would postpone the discussion in the future.
Two days later, there was an urgent report from Chang'an, Zheng Tianyong deceived the city gate, and now he has openly rebelled, surrounded Chang'an, and led his troops to attack, Chang'an only has less than 20,000 forbidden troops, it is difficult to resist, and he asks for help from Xiliang.
Li Shimin was furious: "How can this be reasonable, this Zheng Tianyong dares to openly rebel!" ”
Xu Mao said fairly: "Your Majesty, a reckless man, how can he be so knowledgeable, I think there must be a master behind to guide him." ”
Li Shimin did not shy away from it, and said: "The master you are talking about is the imperial uncle, right?" ”
"The emperor is wise, when he conquered the Northern Desert in the past, Li Daozong had bad intentions, and now he is doing the same trick, he must be a thief, and the minister implores the emperor to plan for the Tang Dynasty to remove this scourge."
For Li Daozong, Xu Maogong has always been hostile, not to mention that this matter was originally done by Li Daozong, even if it wasn't, he would count it on his head.
However, Li Shimin has a lot to consider, and the problem will naturally not be as simple as Xu Maogong: "This matter can be discussed later, and the current matter should be quickly taught to relieve the siege of Chang'an." ”
"Luo Tong, the herald class, after the fifth watch tomorrow, he will march to Chang'an."
"Yes."
Luo Tong arched his hand.
Luo Yi frowned slightly, he didn't want to speak, but Li Shimin arranged it like this, and he couldn't do it if he didn't speak.
Luo Yi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, today's Chang'an is already a critical moment, and there is no room for delay, although the strength of our army is strong, it cannot be reached in a few months, but I am afraid that by then, Chang'an has been captured, and the minister suggests that the minister and the eldest brother go first, and strive to reach Chang'an as soon as possible to relieve the siege of Chang'an." ”
Li Shimin said: "But there are only 20,000 elite iron cavalry in our army, how can we defeat Zheng Tianyong's 100,000 army?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin said: "Yes, I'm afraid that if I go, I will go in vain." ”
"Hehe... Not really. ”
Luo Yi said: "Your Majesty, please think about it, the effect of this strange soldier is better than that of heavy soldiers, although our army is small, it is a brave soldier, and the cavalry has an advantage over the infantry, and the victory or defeat is still unpredictable; What's more, even if Zheng Tianyong can't be defeated, at least he can have some scruples, and he doesn't dare to blatantly attack Chang'an, which has won time for our follow-up army. As long as Zheng Tianyong did not conquer Chang'an before my follow-up army arrived in Chang'an, then our front army would not have gone in vain. ”
Xu Mao said fairly: "That's what I said." ”
"Your Majesty, then take the suggestion of the little marquis Luo and let General Luo lead the army first."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up, he had thought about Luo Yi's thoughts, but he hadn't thought about them so deeply, as Luo Yi said, even if he couldn't defeat Zheng Tianyong, he could drag it out for a few days.
Li Shimin said with a smile: "Luo Tong, I still say the same thing, when it comes to martial arts, you are invincible in the world, but compared to intelligence, you are not as good as your third brother." ”
Luo Tong smiled: "That's nature." ”
Li Shimin said: "Okay, then it's up to Luo Yi; Luo Tong, you lead the army first, don't seek victory, as long as you can hold off the enemy for a few days, it will be a big victory. ”
Luo Tong was overjoyed and arched his hand: "Obey." ”
Li Shimin's order was in his arms, and he also wanted to lead the army first.
...........
Boundary card level.
A month ago, Li Daozong had ordered Feng Zhen and Feng Yu to lead 20,000 troops to garrison here to resist Li Shimin's army to rescue Chang'an.
Feng Zhen and Feng Yu were both grateful to Li Daozong, and naturally they did their best, and they did everything they could to obey his orders.
Since Li Daozong and Zheng Tianyong left, the two led the army to live in the Jiepai Pass, and excluded dissidents, and killed all the soldiers who were loyal to the Tang Dynasty, leaving only the obedient ones, and the most important thing is that the generals above the commander have old acquaintances with the two of them, and they are also loyal to them, not to mention that there are tokens, even if they rely on friendship, the 20,000 troops will obey the orders of the two.
However, when they heard that Li Daozong was imprisoned by Li Shimin, the two of them were extremely worried.
The two wanted to lead troops to rescue, but soon, they were shocked by another thing, the battle between Xiao Wenlong and Li Shimin had ended, and 140,000 Xiliang soldiers were defeated by Li Shimin's plan and all died in the fire.
Such a big event made the two of them not come back to their senses for a long time.
Since Li Shimin has pacified Xiliang, then Feng Zhen and Feng Yu are even more hesitant, according to the previous plan, Li Shimin must not negotiate peace with Xiliang, otherwise the plan will be over, but it is a pity that Li Daozong was imprisoned and could not stop all this.
"Newspaper... Report.... ”
The two were drinking tea in the Jiepai Guanfu office, and several urgent drinks came from outside the house.
A soldier ran into the main hall and said, "Two generals, Luo Tong led the army to knock on the pass." ”
"Rotong? Isn't he in Blackstone? ”
Feng Yu said: "It's really fast." Big brother, what do we do then? ”
Feng Zhen said: "What else can I do, of course I won't let him pass, this is what Master Li ordered, do you want to disobey." ”
Feng Yu seemed to be a little shaken in his heart, and after a long time he sneered: "Where is it, I'll just ask casually." ”
After the two made a verbal decision, they went to the west gate wall together.
Under the city, Luo Tong and Luo Yizheng arrived with 20,000 cavalry, set up a formation, and waited for the boundary card to close and open the door.
According to the rules, as Luo Tong's identity, and led by the king's division, he didn't need to go through the consent of the defender at all, and he could directly order the defenders to open the city, but today it is extremely strange, no matter what Luo Tong said, the sergeant guarding the city said that he had to go through the consent of the defender first, otherwise he would not open the door.
