Chapter 254: Luoyang's Eight Important Places
In front of the Tang military camp at the eastern foot of Beibi Mountain, Li Yin wore blood-stained armor and talked with Qu Tutong for a while, Qu Tutong said: "It's windy outside, why don't the King of Jin enter the military camp to rest for a while?" ”
Li Yin shook his head and said: "This king suddenly remembered that there are still urgent military affairs in the Hanoi camp that have not been dealt with, and they need to return immediately, so there is no need to enter the camp, and I also ask Qu Shangshu to explain it to my third brother, and I will talk about the meeting another day." Fastest update"
After Li Yin finished speaking, he ignored Qu Tutong and galloped away with Wei Chi Jingde and others.
This sudden attack on the tomb of Emperor Wei Xuanwu is full of suspicions, it may be that there was a traitor in his Hanoi military camp, it is possible that Wang Shichong's spies happened to spy on the news that he was going to Xin'an, and in addition, it may also be that someone from Li Shimin's side revealed the information to Wang Shichong......
If the first two may be down, but if the truth is the last guess, whether it is Qu Tutong's camp or Xin'an's Li Shimin military camp, it is a little dangerous at this time.
Li Yin didn't want to joke with his life, so he immediately made the decision to return to Hanoi. When Li Yin left with the men and horses, Qu Tutong showed a hesitant look on his face, but in the end he sighed lightly and returned to the Beibi Mountain military camp with the soldiers around him.
After Li Yin returned to Hanoi, he gave each of them a box of gold and silver for the escort of his cousins Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin and other generals, and at the same time, Li Yin immediately asked Fu Ying to investigate what happened in the tomb of Emperor Xuanwu of Wei.
However, after Fu Ying launched a manpower investigation for a long time, he did not find any suspicious people in his military camp......
The Tang Dynasty attacked Wang Shichong, and the target was naturally Luoyang, the eastern capital, and there were eight strategic places around Luoyang.
One is the North Mountain, this mountain is located in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, from Xin'an to the east, until Gong County, across the south bank of the Yellow River, overlooking Luoyang, there is a tendency to build a tower, now the east, north and west foot of the North Mountain, have been captured by Li Shimin last year, only the south foot is still guarded by Wang Shichong.
The second important place is the Mengjin Bridge, which is an important strategic bridge in the northern suburbs of Luoyang between Mengxian and Mengjin Ferry, and is the main road of north-south traffic.
The third is the Tiger Prison Pass, this place is today's Bishui County, also known as the Bishui Pass in ancient times, because the Tiger Prison of King Zhou Mu will be sacrificed in captivity here. This place is bordered by Songshan Mountain in the south, the Yellow River in the north, there is only a pass in the middle, since ancient times, it is the most dangerous place in the east of Luoyang, Wang Shichong guards here, then you can recruit the troops of the east to help.
The fourth is the Hanoi County area, which controls the main roads in the south of Taihang Mountain, and is also an important barrier in the north of Luoyang.
The fifth is Luokoucang, which is the most important granary in Luoyang, the sixth is Xuanguan, this pass is in the northwest of Dengfeng City, which is the dangerous pass in the southeast of Luoyang, the seventh is the Quesai Pass, in the north of Yichuan County, it is an important pass in the south of Luoyang, and the eighth is Xin'an and Yiyang, which is located in the west of Luoyang, and is a strategic place in the west of Luoyang, but it has already been captured by Li Yin when he captured Hedong County.
Luoyang's eight strategic points, now nearly half of them are occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and the next goal of the Tang Dynasty is to capture the rest of the important places, and when the eight important places are captured by the Tang Dynasty, it is the time when the army encircles Luoyang.
At the end of March, in order to seize control of the southern foot of Beibi Mountain, Li Shimin asked his subordinate Qin Shubao to lead 20,000 troops to march to Cijian, which was an important dangerous road between Xin'an and the southern foot of Beibi Mountain, where Wang Shichong stationed 5,000 soldiers to defend.
Qin Shubao soon led the leading troops to surround Cijian, and Wang Shichong personally led 30,000 soldiers and horses to rescue Cijian.
On March 28, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, personally led the light cavalry to reconnoiter Wang Shichong's army, and suddenly encountered Wang Shichong's troops, the difference in numbers between the two sides was huge, and the road was very difficult, so he was surrounded by Wang Shichong.
Li Shimin galloped on his horse and opened his bow left and right, and the enemy fell in response to the string and captured Yan Qi, the general of Zuo Jianwei under Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong retreated.
Li Shimin returned to the camp, his face was covered with dust, his subordinates could not recognize him, and he wanted to turn him away, Shimin took off his helmet and spoke, and then entered the military gate.
The next day, Li Shimin personally led 50,000 infantry and cavalry to Cijian, Wang Shichong was just frustrated and did not want to fight Li Shimin again, so he withdrew the defense in Cijian and returned to Luoyang.
Li Shimin's army then seized control of Beibi Mountain, and the army was stationed at the southern foot of Beibi Mountain, and the company battalion advanced to Luoyang.
In April, Wang Shichong lined up in Qingcheng Palace, and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, also lined up accordingly.
Wang Shichong said to Li Shimin across the river: "The Sui Dynasty fell, Tang was proclaimed emperor in Guanzhong, Zheng was dominant in Henan, and I, Wang Shichong, never invaded Tang to the west, but King Qin, you suddenly led an army to the east to attack Zheng, why is this?" ”
Li Shimin asked Yu Wenshi to reply: "The whole world admires the emperor's prestige and education, but Your Excellency prevents the emperor's voice teaching, and we are here for this matter!" ”
Wang Shichong said: "Isn't it good that we make peace with each other? ”
Yu Wenshi replied: "The edict ordered us to capture the eastern capital, but did not make us peace. The two sides confronted each other for a long time, but because they could not find each other's flaws, they did not engage until the evening, when each side returned to the camp with its own troops.
……
On April 14, Li Yin rode to Wen County, Hanoi, which is located on the edge of the Yellow River, on the opposite bank of Wen County, which is the important ferry port of Meng Jin.
Li Yin went to Wen County to inspect the Tang Dynasty Navy located here.
Li Yin occupies Hanoi County, and across the Yellow River to attack Wang Shichong, the naval army is undoubtedly the most important force, but fortunately, the naval army of the Tang Dynasty is not weak.
In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Li family marched from Jinyang to Guanzhong, and when they arrived at Hukou, the people on the Hukou River offered boats to Li Yuan, and the Tang Dynasty Navy began to be established, and it has been several years now.
In the past few years, the Datang Navy has developed rapidly from scratch, and now there are four or five thousand skilled craftsmen who are good at manufacturing, manufacturing all kinds of advanced ships for the Datang.
On the edge of the Yellow River in Wen County, there is an elite naval army of more than 5,000 people in the Tang Dynasty, which belongs to Li Yin.
Li Yin is no stranger to the navy, when he first entered the military in the seventh year of the Great Cause, he was the commander of the navy brigade at the Mengjin Ferry, and then he has been killing from Donglai County and from the sea to Goryeo.
After inspecting the Wenxian Naval Army, Li Yin sent the naval academy captain Zhang Yasha to attack Huiluo City with a naval army, conquer the city, capture Zheng Shou's general Da Xi Shanding, cut off the Heyang South Bridge and return to the army, and subdued more than 20 fortresses and settlements in Zheng.
Wang Shichong ordered the crown prince Wang Xuanying to lead Yang Gongqing and others to attack back to Luocheng, but they did not conquer it, so they built Yuecheng in the west of the city and left troops to defend it.
