The unlucky Liang Shi was on the way to meet Li Shimin, who came to help. Of course, Li Shimin would not let go of this good opportunity and led the army to attack and kill thousands of people. Liang Shidu only led more than 100 remnants of the defeated army to flee alone.

Duan Decao saw Li Shimin and hurriedly came to pay a visit. Li Shimin helped him up and comforted him; Then the two armies merged together and went straight to Shuofang.

Liang Shidu was greatly frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Shangshu Lu Jilan to go to the Turks for help. Jieli Khan listened to it and scolded Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou for not doing enough; However, the two of them are their tentacles reaching out to the Central Plains, and they can't help but save them.

So he asked Liu Wuzhou, who had surrendered, to lead the remnants of his own army to defeat, and he supported an army of 50,000 to rescue Liang Shidu.

When Li Shimin heard the news, he asked Chai Shao to lead Xue Wanshu, Xue Wanjun and 20,000 troops to besiege Shuofang, while he led the rest of the army to resist the Turkic reinforcements.

Li Shimin changed his previous steady style and traveled all the way to the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain to meet the Turkic reinforcements. Although the Turkic soldiers who came to support Liang Shidu still looked so fierce, due to the turbulent situation in the country, the people were panicked, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and their combat effectiveness had been greatly weakened.

The sudden arrival of the Tang army made them panic for a while. Liu Wuzhou saw that there were few Tang soldiers, so he shouted loudly and urged his soldiers to fight.

The vanguard officer soap-robed general Chi Gong is fast, he holds a gun in his left hand, a whip in his right hand, a spear stabbed and whipped, between words, has already stepped through the Turkic team, whirlwind to kill the Turkic generals, swish, three moves did not arrive, that is, a shot stabbed the throat of the enemy general, picked the horse.

Then he jumped forward and broke the Turkic banner with a whip, and the black and white Turkic flag disappeared from people's sight. The leader of the army will be killed, the banner will fall again, and the Turkic soldiers will be in disarray. Liu Wuzhou was also so frightened that he regretted that he shouldn't have come to support Liang Shidu.

Wei Chigong's 500 horsemen rampaged through the Turkic array, and dust and smoke rose everywhere. At this moment, the main force led by Li Shimin also arrived, and he waved his flag and rushed towards the enemy with a shout. Seeing this, the Turkic soldiers, who had no desire to fight, turned their horses and left.

The Tang army followed with a burst of attack, captured and killed each other, and won a small victory, and the Turks relied on their horses, leaving hundreds of corpses, and disappeared far away at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

Liu Wuzhou fled back to the Turks to see Jieli; Jieli was angry and screamed, and ordered someone to tie him up. The generals stepped forward to plead, but Jieli was a little hesitant; Princess Yicheng snorted coldly and said, "What kind of lackeys are not in the middle of the day? In this way, there is not enough success, and more than failure; Is it possible to keep the good deeds of bad men? ”

Jieli thought so and ordered Liu Wuzhou to be beheaded; Since then, Jieli's puppet forces in the Central Plains have only one left, Liang Shidu, who is about to die.

Shuofang City is the old nest of Liang Shidu, which has been operated by him for more than ten years, and the city is high and deep, and it looks stronger than the large and small cities outside the Saiwai.

After camping, Chai Shao held a military meeting to discuss with everyone how to attack Shuofang. Someone at the meeting shook his head and said: "It seems that we have to make long-term preparations for battle, whether to report to the imperial court, send some more men and horses, and at the same time supply grain and grass." ”

Some people simply suggested that they should besiege Shuofang first, clear the surrounding forces of Liang Shidu, and starve them to death in the city; Wait for the beginning of spring next year to make plans to attack Shuofang.

Coach Chai Shao was groaning, and Xue Wanjun said confidently: "The Liang division has suffered defeats in a row, and the army has no more battles." The city was dead, and the drums could not be sounded, but it was a sign of ruin. As long as the army is approaching, we can put enough pressure on them for an extra month, let alone ten days, and our army will be able to occupy Shuofang! ”

Chai Shaoran said that he led the army to surround Shuofang; Then the Tang army was arrayed under the city; The shield soldiers held huge shields and marched slowly with neat steps; The crossbowmen followed.

"Shoot!" Chai Shao gave an order; Dense arrows were overwhelmingly shot up the towers; Shot the soldiers of Liang Shidu into one piece, and the blood soaked the city tower. The Xiliang soldiers were colorless, so frightened that they hid behind the bunker and did not dare to show their heads.

It was really not as Xue Wanjun expected, Liang Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren saw that the Tang army was pressing, and the Turkic army was wiped out by Li Shimin; Then he opened his mind.

For the long-term plan of life, Liang Luoren contacted several generals, and one night, raided Liang Shidu's harem, killed him, and then took control of the situation and announced the surrender of Tang.

Chai Shaobing occupied Shuofang without blood; After Li Shimin found out, he rewarded Liang Luoren and named him the general of the Right Xiaowei, and the rest of the generals also had their own rewards. So Shuofang's people settled down and settled down smoothly.

Li Shimin left Chai Shao to garrison Shuofang, and brought people back to Chang'an; Li Yuan took hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him outside the city. This time Li Tang was calmed down, and he could sit and watch the Kwantung War to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he didn't care about going home to take a look, and he didn't rest; I asked Tang Emperor Li Yuan about the war in Shandong.

Li Yuan's brain hurt when he heard the two words Shandong; The army has been on the march for more than two months; The original four-way army has retreated three ways. Only himself and Li Mi are still supporting independently, but judging from the situation that has been passed over during this period of time, they are also invincible and have made no progress.

Li Shimin listened to the narration of Li Yuan and his ministers, his sword eyebrows were furrowed, and he asked people to find a map of the surroundings of Dingtao, Shandong; Lie down on it and take a closer look.

"Strange! Does the Great Demon Kingdom want to fight a protracted war with us? What are they trying to do? Li Shimin also couldn't think of the mystery for a while.

Li Yuan comforted Li Shimin a few words, and then asked him to go home and rest. Li Shimin thought of his family, felt guilty for a while, and hurriedly said goodbye to his father and returned to the Qin Palace.

At this time, Li Chengqian was already a year old and could stagger under the protection of his servants. Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw it, rushed up and hugged his son, and kissed him fiercely, causing Li Chengqian to cry loudly.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, was overjoyed when he saw his husband return; He quickly came up and took his son from his hand. Li Chengqian arrived in his mother's arms and immediately stopped crying.

Li Shimin smiled awkwardly and said: "This stinky boy knows that he is close to his mother and forgets my father." The eldest grandson Wujian smiled and said, "You lead troops to fight outside every day, and your son is alienated from you." ”

Li Shimin sighed: "The situation is not up to others, but it has made your mother and son suffer." The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "The second brother is also working hard for our family; Although in the royal family; But this royal family is the most ruthless; If you are not careful, you will never recover; When the time comes, there will be eggs under the nest, and our family will not be able to live alone. ”

The husband and wife returned to the room, and someone had already coaxed Li Chengqian away; They talked about the form of Chang'an, and the words naturally turned to the Shandong battlefield.

Li Shimin sighed: "The fifth brother's subordinates are really full of talents, and the four-way army, although we blocked all the way; But there are also hundreds of thousands of people left in the remaining three roads. The number of people is several times that of them, but there is no way at all; The lost troops were at a stalemate. ”

The eldest grandson sneered and said, "You guys! All caught up in a wrong mindset. I've seen the composition of the Great Demon Kingdom's forces; You have only counted his standing forces; They also have a large number of reservists and garrisons; Even if the whole people are recruited, there are countless militias everywhere, and the Great Demon Kingdom can increase its army by hundreds of thousands in an instant. ”

Li Shimin was startled, stood up abruptly and said, "It's broken!" Our Tang army in Shandong is in danger! Guanyin, you wait, I'll go to see my father immediately. ”

When Li Yuan heard that his second son asked to see him, he was slightly stunned; This kid just went back! Why did you come to see yourself again? Could it be that something happened at home?

Li Yuan asked Li Shimin to come in, and when he saw him covered in sweat and a panicked expression, he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Shimin, why did you come to see me in such a hurry?" ”

Li Shimin knelt down and bowed first: "Father, the son suddenly thought of a possibility, if this becomes a fact; The eldest brother is in danger! Please send troops to rescue my father immediately. ”

Li Yuan was so frightened that he almost fell off the chair, and hurriedly asked, "Emperor, what are you talking about?" Hurry up and hear it! ”

Li Shimin recounted his speculation; Then he said: "Father, if I have sufficient troops in my hands, I will divide the coalition army; Then he laid a net of heaven and earth on the southwestern land; In the end, they gathered and annihilated the invading enemy in one fell swoop.

If so, the gains and losses of Juye will be insignificant; The enemy may deliberately abandon Juye County and deploy heavy troops in Jinshan; Cut off our connection with Li Mi, and then mobilize forces to form a local advantage, and annihilate us in Juye. ”

Li Yuan's face turned pale and muttered, "No! Even the emperor can't think of a way for a while, can the people of the Great Demon Kingdom think of it? But his tone trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he couldn't convince himself.

Li Shimin was just about to persuade again, when suddenly there was a boiling outside the hall; An attendant quickly ran in and shouted, "Hurray, hooray!" King Qi personally ascended first, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken Juye County! ”

"What?" Li Yuan's father and son exclaimed at the same time, and their faces turned pale. The waiter was taken aback, and when he saw that Li Yuan's face was not good, he quickly knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word.

"The people of the world! Without further ado, you hurry up and prepare to enter Shandong and take over Shandong's affairs in an all-round way. ”

"Yes! Sons and daughters retire! Li Shimin agreed and turned his head away; Li Yuan sighed: "I hope it's still too late." Then he squatted limply on the dragon chair.

It turned out that Li Jiancheng and Wang Wendu fought fiercely around Juye County for several days, although they rushed to the city tower several times; But he has not been able to take this county seat.

Li Jiancheng also learned from Li Mi, and adopted the strategy of repairing the plank road in the Ming Dynasty to darken Chen Cang, and let Li Yuanji lead the army to storm Juye, but he arranged for people to dig tunnels and prepare to enter the city from underground.

Who knew that this time it was really a mistake, and the Tang army rushed into Juye County in one fell swoop. Wang Wendu led the army to retreat in a hurry and fled without a trace.
