Chapter 328: Xue Ju's Death

Xue Renyue frowned and turned around several times, but he didn't find anything special, let alone any clues of enemy destruction. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Xue Ju also changed his clothes, bandaged his wounds, and came to the scene under the leadership of others. Xue Renyue made a report on his investigation, and Xue Ju once again inquired in detail about the situation of the two butchers just now, and ordered someone to pick up the rubble and examine it carefully, but still did not find anything abnormal.

"Isn't it a warning from God?" These generals all looked like dirt, and they all demanded to withdraw from Gaojaw City. Everyone was arguing indiscriminately, and the eldest prince Xue Rengao had just walked to the city gate with people, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly came back to investigate. After hearing what had happened, Xue Rengao suggested that the wizard be invited to come and see him.

Xue Ju thought so and ordered someone to invite the wizard over; The wizard jumped and jumped, and there were words in his mouth, and finally concluded that it was Tang Bing's demon law that caused trouble.

Xue Ju was so shocked that he asked the wizard to break the enemy's demon spell, and then the celebration banquet was not opened, and everyone was sent back to rest. Unexpectedly, Xue Ju had nightmares that night, and he couldn't afford to be sick the next day; Xue Rengao and the others could not send troops to serve at the bedside.

That night, Xue Ju asked Xue Rengao to succeed him when he was dying, and instructed him: "Your talent and strategy are enough to succeed, but you are harsh and cruel by nature, and you can't show kindness to people, and you will eventually overthrow my family and country!" In the future, those who are good will be able to maintain the hegemony of my Western Qin. "Saying that a generation of heroes has died.

Xue Rengao reported the funeral to the coalition forces, and then stopped the war to treat his father's funeral; and succeeded to the throne as the second emperor of Western Qin.

However, when Xue Rengao was the crown prince, he had contradictions with most of the generals in his own bravery; When he succeeded to the throne, everyone was suspicious and uneasy, and their hearts were moved. Coupled with the death of Xue Ju, the mastermind Hao Ying was overly sad and frightened and suddenly fell ill, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, and the power of the Xue family gradually declined.

Li Liang and the Turks were caught off guard by Xue Ju's death, and they had already sent troops to Ningzhou; was blocked by Ningzhou Thorn Shi Hu Yan; Knowing that Xue Rengao could not enter the army to cooperate, he was alone and could not support himself, so he retreated to Xiqian City.

After Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, he learned that Li Tang's situation had eroded to this point; Li Yuan was furious when he heard that they were defeated, and he was reluctant to deal with his son, so he dismissed Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan from their posts. It was Li Shimin's intercession that allowed them to continue to serve in front of the army and make meritorious contributions.

At this time, the spies left by Li Shimin also transmitted the situation on the Western Front back one after another, first Gaoqi City was suspected of being struck by lightning, and Xue Ju was injured and died; Xue Rengao took over the throne; Currently in mourning; Unable to fight again. Moreover, the whereabouts of Liu Hongji, Murong Luoyu and Li Anyuan have been clarified, and the three of them were captured in the Shallow Water Force Battle and are now being held by Xue Rengao.

Li Shimin also did not expect that he just wanted to delay the enemy's movements, and set up a suspicious plan, which actually achieved such a great effect.

"Father! Although Xue Rengao's courage surpassed Xue Ju, this person was unkind and unrighteous, and he was separated from his subordinates. Erchen is willing to lead 30,000 horses to the expedition, and he will definitely be able to break through Western Qin. ”

Li Yuan finally heard the good news, and laughed when he heard it: "Okay! Just ......" but before his words fell, there was a big chaos outside, and someone ran in and said: "Report, report to King Tang, it's not good!" Liu Wuzhou's general Song Jingang broke through Jinyang, and almost the entire territory of Shanxi was lost. ”

"Poof!" Li Yuan was so frightened that he squatted on the ground and muttered, "How can this be? How is it like this? Pei lonely misunderstood me. ”

Li Shimin was also taken aback, and the surrounding civil and military forces were all stunned. Li Yuan said: "The high walls of Jinyang City are thick, and Pei Lian's soldiers are full of food; Why did you lose Jinyang. ”

The Chinese army who reported the news said: "According to the report, Song Jingang dug up the water of the Fen River and flooded Jinyang. Pei Lin couldn't take people out of the city to retreat to Yucheng. The thief general Wei Chi Gong took the opportunity to forcibly occupy Jinyang, and the chief manager Jiang Baoyi was captured. Song Jingang persuaded him to surrender, but General Manager Jiang swore to death and was killed by the enemy. At present, there is only Yuzhou in Shanxi, Taizhou is still in our hands, and the others have been occupied by thieves. ”

Li Yuan was stunned and sighed: "The thief is so powerful, it is difficult to compete, it is better to abandon the east of the river and guard the Guanxi!" Everyone nodded their heads in reconsideration.

Li Shimin said alone: "Taiyuan, the foundation of the king's industry, the foundation of the country; Hedong Fushi, funded by Jingyi. If you abandon it, you will be resentful. I hope to give my son 30,000 elite soldiers, and I will definitely be able to eliminate Liu Wuzhou and recover Fen and Jin. ”

Li Yuan deliberated again and again, and finally agreed with Li Shimin's opinion, and sent the army of Guanzhong to 30,000 troops, and ordered Li Shimin to lead the crusade against Liu Wuzhou; and appointed him as the chief of the march of Jinyang Road and the commander-in-chief of Shanxi's military affairs, and if necessary, he could act cheaply without asking for instructions. In addition, all official positions of Pei Lin were revoked, and he was allowed to return to Chang'an to confess his guilt.

Li Shimin said again: "Weize Pass is the gateway to Guanzhong, and the third sister is currently stationed; The third sister has warned many times that there is no room for loss here. Erchen recommended Chai Shao as the chief manager to rescue Wei Zeguan. ”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, nodded and agreed to Li Shimin's suggestion, and asked Chai Shao to be the commander of the march and command 10,000 troops to rescue Weize Pass.

Li Shimin led the army into Shanxi, crossed the Yellow River from Longmen, and suddenly occupied Baibi; and the Tang army in Yucheng and Taizhou formed a rivalry with each other, blocking Song Jingang's way of advancement.

After Li Shimin arrived in Shanxi, he ordered the army to build fortifications at Baibi, and at the same time abolished Pei Lian's order to let the people gather in the fortress.

When the people of Shanxi heard that Li Shimin was coming with an army, they all came to Shun, and the number of people who came increased day by day, from near to far, and then the Tang army gradually collected grain, so that the army was sufficient.

So Li Shimin ordered the army to rest and feed the horses, and held out; Ling sent Li Xiaoji as the general manager, and led Dugu Huaien, Yu Yun, and Tang Jian as generals to go to conquer the rebellious Lu Chongmao and Wang Xingben.

Although Lu Chongmao is known as the King of Wei, his subordinates are just some chaotic people, although they blocked Pei Lian's crusade, but Li Shimin's army was lifted, and half of his subordinates were dispersed.

This time he heard about Li Xiaoji, Lu Chongmao closed the door and asked Song Jingang for help. Song Jingang ordered his generals Wei Chi Gong and Xun Xiang to come to support. Wei Chigong led his subordinates to travel day and night, and came to Xia County more than a day in advance.

Wei Chigong launched an attack on the Tang camp overnight despite Xunxiang's dissuasion. This time it was really unexpected by the Tang army, Li Xiaoji did not expect the enemy's reinforcements to arrive so soon, and he was not prepared at all; In addition, Wei Chi Gong was brave and invincible, and rushed to the Chinese army at once, stabbed Yu Yun to death, and captured Li Xiaoji alive. The Don army did not command the defeat of the First World War.

Lu Chongmao of Xia County heard the movement and also went out of the city to face the battle; The Tang army, which was attacked and killed twice, was defeated. Won the Battle of Xia County.

Li Shimin knew the whole story, and did not blame Tang Jian and Dugu Huaien, but reviewed himself, this time he sent Yin Kaishan and Li Yuanba to lead people to set up an ambush in Miragawa.

Wei Chigong and Xun Xiang solved the siege of Xia County, and they were proud to return to Huzhou, and met Yin Kaishan's troops in Meiliang River, and they were led into the ambush circle after three battles and three victories. At this moment, the Miragawa ambush troops surrounded Yu Chi Gong and Xunxiang.

Wei Chigong has made many military exploits since entering Shanxi, and he is invincible; I have developed the problem of arrogance. didn't look at who the opponent was, he rushed forward regardless of it, but was shocked by Li Yuanba's hammer and vomited blood, and fled in the wilderness. Looking for a look, Wei Chigong is not a place for a move, where do you dare to fight and flee with him.

The group of soldiers under them has always enshrined Wei Chi Gong as a god, and they were so frightened that they were frightened when they saw the defeat of the main general, and the crying father and mother who were killed by the Tang army were almost wiped out.

Li Yuanba was covered in blood, and finally let out a sulk in his heart, and followed Yin Kaishan back to Baibi.

Then Li Shimin ordered Yin Kaishan and Tang Jian to besiege the rebel general Wang Xingben; Wang Xingben couldn't resist asking Song Jingang for help. Song Jingang once again sent Wei Chi Gong and Xun Xiang to lead troops to rescue; Wei Chigong repeated his old tricks and led the army all the way to Jiangzhou

However, only once his opponent was Li Shimin, Li Shimin let Yin Kaishan and Tang Jian surround Wang Xingben, but he led Li Yuanba to set off from the small road and take the lead in setting up an ambush in Anyi.

Waiting for Lieutenant Chi Gong and others, Li Shimin waited for work with ease, and ambushed soldiers in all directions; Surrounded Wei Chigong's troops. As soon as Wei Chigong saw that Li Yuanba no longer dared to fight, he ran away as soon as he hit his horse; Lookout also ran after him. Only pity the 5,000 troops under his command who died and surrendered.

When Wang Xingben heard that the reinforcements were all wiped out, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he abandoned the city and turned around and ran; Yin Kaishan and Tang Jian smoothly occupied Jiangzhou and Li Shimin, who was in Baibi, echoed and completely stabilized the situation in Hexi.

Song Jingang got the news, and the army came to fight Li Shimin. When the generals heard that Song Jingang was coming, they all asked to fight him.

Li Shimin said: "Song Jingang's lone army went deep, and Liu Wuzhou's elite soldiers and fierce generals were concentrated under his command, Liu Wuzhou occupied Taiyuan, but relied on Song Jingang as a barrier; If we fight hard with him, even if we win, we will lose our troops.

Song Jingang's army had no reserves, and relied on plundering to replenish military supplies, which was conducive to quick warfare. We closed the camp and did not come out, so that we could frustrate his spirit.

Let's divide our troops to attack Fenzhou and Xizhou, harass his vital places, and cut off their grain routes; They have nothing to do, so they will naturally retreat. We should wait for this opportunity, and it is not time to rush to war. ”

When the generals heard this, they gave up their orders and went down separately.

Cheng Zhijie and Liang Shitai had been hiding in the mountains for nearly a month, and they did not attack during this period of time, allowing Liu Wuzhou to smoothly concentrate the grain in Leping County.

Liu Wuzhou's logistics have not been harassed for a period of time, and he believes that Liu Dewei has really exterminated this group of thieves, and he appreciates his ability very much. Liu Dewei took the opportunity to propose to be stationed in Leping County; Liu Wuzhou readily agreed and asked him to take 5,000 men and horses to Leping to garrison.

Lao Cheng leaned quietly on a big rock, with thousands of thoughts in his head; Liang Shitai leaned over and said, "Big brother! Thinking about your sisters-in-law again? ”
