Chapter 322: The Four Kings Attack Tang
Qin Qiong laughed: "I said that the eldest brother is not too young, but he never wanted to get married; It turned out that she was thinking about her sister-in-law! God is pitiful, and lovers eventually become married; We don't have to worry about our big brother's life's events anymore. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Lu Xingxing arranged for those generals to go to appease his subordinates and accept the reorganization; They entered the big tent with Forehead Xiu to discuss their next move.
A month later, detailed information about the Wa Kingdom was put on Cheng Zhijie's desk; Lao Cheng was worried about whether to participate in an invitation at this time. Li Yuan was ready to accept the Chan Rang of the acting king Yang Yu in May this year to ascend the throne and claim the emperor and set the country name Tang, with Chang'an as the capital and the year name Wude; Invite Cheng Zhijie and others to come to watch the ceremony.
Lao Cheng was very strange, although Li Yuan decided to be the emperor, he did not establish the crown prince, nor did he crown several sons as kings; What is he doing here? Lao Cheng also wanted to take a trip to Chang'an and test it; But when I thought that Sun Sixin was about to give birth in more than two months, I was afraid that I would not be able to come back, so I was still hesitating.
After receiving the information of the Wa State, he read the report in detail, and then summoned Du Ruhui and others to discuss how to settle the Wa State.
Everyone discussed together for several days, and they were all excited and couldn't help themselves; Honorable! It's just that the Great Demon Kingdom actually destroyed two countries; Who can do it in the world?
In the end, it was decided that the Wakoku would retain the honorary status of the emperor and be hereditary by members of the imperial family; But it is only an honorary position, and the actual work is carried out by the governor appointed by the Great Demon Kingdom. Ling Jing was appointed as the first governor of Dongying, and Zhang Ding concurrently served as the chief of the Dongying garrison; They became the de facto leaders of Yingzhou.
In order to promote the Chinese language and writing, Cheng Zhijie was ready to strengthen cultural exports, and he asked Du Ruhui to continue to gather Confucian scholars from Shandong to prepare for universal education in Dongying.
Cheng Zhijie once again attracted Li Shimin's attention, there happened to be a batch of bows and arrows to be transported to the Tang Dynasty, and he could also participate in Li Yuan's enthronement ceremony by the way, if he didn't delay, he could still rush back.
After Cheng Zhijie made up his mind, he brought Liang Shitai, Lan Tianbi and Yang Jier; Follow the escorted team of bows and crossbows to Chang'an.
Regarding Cheng Zhijie's escape, Dongfang Yumei and Cui Yu gave full understanding; After all, the Great Demon Kingdom has conquered a country and needs a lot of talents; As the master of the Great Demon Kingdom, you can't delay your business for fun.
So Cui Yu, Dongfang Yumei, and Pei Cuiyun led a hundred masters of the Niangzi Battalion, escorted by Wang Ying to board the big ship to Liaodong, and they planned to go to Liaodong for 1 month and then come back quickly.
At this time, in the royal tent of the Xiongnu in Jiuyuan County, Jieli Khan was entertaining the four anti-kings of the Central Plains, Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju, Liang Shidu and Li Liang.
Jieli raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it to a few people: "Everyone, now Li Tang occupies Guanzhong and Hedong, and he is fighting hard; It's growing fast. If we allow them to grow like this, we will be swallowed up by them one day. I intend to unite all of you to send troops to attack Li Tang; I wonder what everyone thinks? ”
Liang Shidu was like a Turkic dog's leg, he was the first to stand up and said, "What the Khan said is so right! We are the first to respond. As long as the Great Khan gives an order, our Western Liang State is willing to raise the whole country's troops to attack Li Tang. ”
Xue Ju and Li Liang pouted and followed: "What the King of Xiliang said is right, I don't know what the Great Khan's plan is, we will not give up if we attack Li Tang!" ”
Liu Wuzhou smiled bitterly and said, "Great Khan, this Li Tang soldier is well-fed and well-equipped; It's not that I grow someone else's majesty to destroy my own spirit; I'm afraid that a few of us will not be able to do it. ”
Liang Shidu said with a smile: "King Dingyang is scared by Li Tang, your losses in the battle of Mayi last year were not small. ”
Liu Wuzhou said: "This is true, Li Tang's strength is indeed stronger than ours; Don't talk about us, even the Great Khan's 100,000 army also suffered a big loss from Li Tang? ”
Jieli's face was not good-looking, and he groaned and said, "What King Dingyang said is not false; So this time, I decided to send 40,000 tiger divisions and 60,000 golden wolf troops to fight with you. In addition, I will replenish 10,000 war horses per person to strengthen your strength, is there anything else to fear? “
Liu Wu slapped the table on Monday and said, "Okay! I've long seen that Li Tang's guys are not pleasing to the eye, so let's teach them a good lesson. The other anti-kings were speechless for a while, but they asked for the benefits, and of course they were happy to accept it.
Jieli said: "I plan to divide the troops into two routes, one is led by Liu Wuzhou, and the Liang division is assisted; Directly attack Li Tang's base camp Shanxi. One route was led by Xue Ju, and Li Rail followed; Attack Guanzhong; What do you think? ”
The others have no opinions, but Li Liang is a little unhappy, he and Xue Ju have always been at odds, and there is a lot of friction in the army; Let yourself be controlled by him, and don't give him any more calculations.
Jieli saw the cattiness among them, and snorted coldly: "These Han people can't be united for the sake of a little profit in front of them; will never be our opponent of the Great Turks. When I pulled out Li Tang's thorn in the eye, I was a thorn in my flesh; The next one is to concentrate on dealing with the Great Demon Kingdom; When these two countries are finished, the Central Plains will not be in my pocket. ”
He laughed and said, "Everyone, the enemy is at present, I hope that everyone can give up the contradictions in front of you and join hands to fight the enemy with one heart." When Li Tang is broken, Guanzhong's territory and wealth will be distributed according to the size of personal merit. ”
The four kings were all excited when they heard this, and each said yes, and then said goodbye to Jieli and returned to the country to prepare. Ten days later, they each raised 5 kings, plus Jieli's army of 10 kings, a total of 300,000 people went straight to Li Tang to kill, and prepared for Li Yuan's enthronement ceremony to break a scoop of cold water.
Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi have been standing still after Qi Qi, and the anxious Liang Shi went to urge every day, but he was not ready to resign because of the lack of food and grass.
Liu Wuzhou did not move his troops in the old nest, but Xue Ju led all his troops to attack Jingzhou, stationed in Xiqian City, and sent guerrilla troops to plunder Qizhou and Fengzhou. The Tang Dynasty guarded Zhang Changxun's urgent document and sent it to Li Yuan's desk like a snowflake.
Li Yuan was furious when he heard this, and ordered Li Shimin to be the chief manager and Liu Wenjing to join the army; Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji, Murong Luoyu, Li Anyuan and others were generals, and led 50,000 troops to the rescue.
When Xue Ju heard that Li Shimin was coming, he immediately stopped his attack on Xiqian City and began to shrink his defenses; The Turkic general Mo He smiled disdainfully: "The chief manager is too careful; A little Tang Tong, has not yet grown up? What's the big deal! The chief manager continued to besiege the city here, and I led 20,000 tiger divisions to intercept and kill Tang Tong. ”
Xue Ju persuaded: "General Mohe doesn't know, although this Li Shimin is young but scheming, when we were the princes of the Eighteen Roads in Siming Mountain, more than a million horses were played by him between applause. Generals must be careful. ”
Mo He snorted coldly and said, "It's really unreasonable, don't compare our Great Turkic army with those incompetent Han people. All you have to do is attack the city of Analysis, and I'll take care of the rest!" So saying, he turned around and walked out of the big tent, blowing the horn and setting off the whole army.
As soon as Mo Hedu's army came out, it was discovered by Li Shimin's scouts and reported back. When Li Shimin heard that Mo Helu had set up a lone army to come, he laughed and ordered Liu Hongji to send troops to meet the battle, while he led the army to prepare for the return to the mountain.
As soon as Liu Hongji led an army of 5,000 and the Turkic army, he was killed and defeated, and he lost his armor and fled in embarrassment. Mo He looked at it and laughed: "Tang Jun only has this ability, what's so scary?" Follow me! As he spoke, he led the army in close pursuit.
Seeing that he was returning to the mountain, Liu Hongji peeked at it, and the enemy rushed in without any precautions; Secretly snorted and entered the mountain.
Someone also reminded Mo Helu to be careful of the Tang army's ambush, but he was complacent and determined to make meritorious contributions, so he didn't take it to heart at all and rushed directly into Huishan.
Li Shimin saw that the enemy was ambushed, and shouted: "Attack!" "The mountain was shaken, and the ambush was everywhere on the mountain; Then the arrows rained down.
The equipment of the Tiger Division is second to none in the Turks, and the body is basically iron armor; However, the iron armor on their bodies is not much different from the paper paste in front of the strong bows and crossbows provided by the Great Demon Kingdom; After a rain of arrows, the Turkic army was already dead and wounded.
"Kill!" Li Shimin shouted, and then led people down the mountain first. The horned bow and arrows in his hand were not missing, and the tiger warriors who shot fell to the ground one after another.
"Kill!" The 50,000 Tang Army surrounded the 20,000 Tiger Divisions and fought in Huishan. These tiger divisions deserve to be the most elite team of the Turks, and after the initial panic, they leaped horses and raised their swords one by one, galloping across and doubling the inextricable slaughter of their own Tang army.
Li Shimin saw it and ordered his generals Yin Kaishan and Liu Hongji to flank them, and then Murong Luoyu and Li Anyuan blossomed in the middle, and the Tang army formed a cylinder formation to divide the enemy and restrict their movements. The cavalry, which had lost its ability to maneuver, was greatly reduced, and the battle situation began to tilt a little like the Don Army.
Mo He screamed in a hurry, and led his most elite personal troops to rush straight towards Li Shimin, wanting to capture the king first.
Li Shimin saw that the enemy's skills were poor, and finally released his strongest army, the Xuanjia Army. Now the Xuanjia Heavenly Army has reached 2,000 people after continuous expansion, and the equipment has also been updated several times, making it more sophisticated.
"Boom!" The Xuanjia Army rushed up like a group of prehistoric monsters, and the first one was Li Yuanba, and in front of him there was no difference between the elite of the Tiger Division and the miscellaneous army of the Eagle Division, anyway, they were all hammered one by one.
However, Li Yuanba also has a shortcoming, that is, he doesn't care about the battle as soon as he starts, he runs too fast, but there is no one to command the Xuanjia Army. Originally, there was Hou Junji to help; Later, Hou Junji applied for transfer; The Xuanjia Army has not added suitable candidates for the time being.
