Before Liu Wuzhou and Li Jiancheng officially clashed, the two sides knew the victory or defeat, how could such a battle be fought?

At this time, what Liu Wuzhou wanted to see most was to surrender without a fight, and then it was advisable to chase after the poor and defeat the reinforcements brought by Li Jiancheng in one fell swoop.

After Li Jiancheng learned the news of Li Xuanba's defeat, he knew that there was no longer a tendency to attack back and forth at this time, so he had to retreat to Huoyi in a hurry.

With the solidity of Huoyi City, Li Jiancheng didn't pay too much attention to the attack of Liu Wuzhou that he might encounter, but even if the follow-up reinforcements from Longxi came to Huoyi, it would be almost impossible to recapture Jinyang.

Li Xiuning also seems to have recognized the current situation in Taiyuan, and on the night that Liu Wuzhou's army withdrew from Mayi, she secretly went south with more than 10,000 soldiers from Weize Pass, which was regarded as the last chess piece that Li Tang had placed in Taiyuan.

Li Xiuning and his brother Li Jiancheng's meeting had some tears, and this is not something that Liu Wuzhou can consider; However, Luo Shixin, who had been observing Li Xiuning's movements, would not take the opportunity to take Weize Pass.

In less than a month before and after, Luo Shixin won the two levels of Jingcheng and Weize, which was inevitable and accidental.

With these two checkpoints, it became impossible for Liu Wuzhou to quietly send troops to Hebei, and it became easy for the Yunzhong army to enter Taiyuan.

Liu Wuzhou's face is honest, but his heart is like a mirror, he can see Su You's true face from Luo Shixin's silent occupation of the two checkpoints, but now the situation is weaker than people, and he can only swallow his anger towards Su You.

More importantly, Liu Wuzhou realized that his biggest enemy at present was not Su You, but Li Tang.

When the news of Li Xuanba's defeat reached Li Jiancheng, Liu Wuzhou also got the news that the Longxi soldiers had reinforced, but it was not a matter of a day or two for the Longxi soldiers to join forces with Li Jiancheng victoriously!

If the Longxi soldiers and Li Jiancheng join forces, if Li Xuanba leads tens of thousands of troops from Yanmen to the south

Liu Wuzhou didn't continue to think about it, he only knew that the way to crack the front and rear flanking attacks was to start another army to flank the enemy, and the other way was to stretch the battle line, both of which were embodied in the chessboard of Go.

It would be nice if the Turkic army could cut off Li Xuanba's tail when he went south, and if only Su You could send a large army to Hedong to cut off their grain routes when Li Jiancheng was single-mindedly heading north

Both of the above plans may disintegrate Li Tang's plan to rescue Taiyuan this time, and if they destroy their attack, it is likely that Li Tang will lose Hedong from now on!

The question is, will the Turks and Su You help with this?

Taiyuan is really Taiyuan away from the Turkic royal city, and it will take at least a month and a half to get their support, and I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold at that time; Moreover, it was impossible for the Turks to help Liu Wuzhou to fight Li Yuan, and even if they could come to help, they would have to pay a greater price.

What's more, both Su You and Wang Xuan, the general sent by Su You, have a deep prejudice against the Turks, and even if he can invite Turkic reinforcements, he must care about Wang Xuan's thoughts.

It is impossible to ask for reinforcements from the Turks!

As for asking Su You to send troops from the Tiger Prison to attack Hedong, it is also impossible!

First, Su You's territory is separated from Hedong by an eastern capital (Zheng Guo), and Zheng Guo and Li Tang have now reached a verbal strategic partnership agreement; Even if there was no such agreement, if Su You sent people to enter Hedong unscrupulously, Wang Shichong would not let go of the opportunity to take advantage of it

If Su You wants to enter Hedong, he can only take it step by step, at least to take the eastern capital.

But now, how can Su You have the extra troops to march into the Eastern Capital?

Li Jing led an army of 60,000 and Xu Yuanlang's army of 130,000 to confront Lu County for more than two months, this is the news that Liu Wuzhou has known for a long time, and he does not believe that Li Jing can take Lu County in a short time under such a disadvantaged situation.

Ruled out the possibility of breaking Li Tang's two armies that might attack from the north and south at the same time, there was only one thought left in Liu Wuzhou's heart.

There are also two directions to stretch the battle line, one side is to re-cavalry to pursue Li Xuanba, from Yulin, Hequ and other places into Guanzhong, and on the other hand, to forcibly seize Huoyi and take the land east of the river.

It has been more than ten years since Li Xuanba was defeated, and it is obviously not the best time to pursue Li Xuanba now, and even if he can temporarily take Yulin and other counties, what can he do? It's easy to take these places, but it's just as easy to lose.

Attacking Li Xuanba will definitely not be the best option.

Then the only thing left is to kill Li Jiancheng!

Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning are now in Huoyi, plus the more than 10,000 soldiers who were originally left behind in Huoyi, there are a total of 40,000 people, and Liu Wuzhou can use 100,000 mobile troops!

Coupled with the 1,000 assault troops led by Wang Xuan with secret weapons, this battle is not impossible to fight!

At this time, if Li Jiancheng is not given a head-on blow, in another three or five days, the 80,000 troops and reinforcements in Longxi will come to converge, and there will be no possibility of attacking Huoyi at that time!

Then, Taiyuan's fate is likely to be killed by Li Jiancheng and Li Xuanba's brothers!

After realizing the urgency of the situation, Liu Wuzhou immediately convened Yuan Junzhang, Song Jingang, Wei Chigong, Wang Xuan and others to hold an emergency meeting, and said the conjecture in his heart straight to the point.

For Liu Wuzhou's analysis of the current and upcoming situation, the generals did not have much opinion, but the generals still felt that Liu Wuzhou's idea of capturing Huoyi with a rush army was too bold; In particular, Yuan Junzhang, the current city lord of Jinyang City, did not approve of Liu Wuzhou taking this risk.

If you don't take this risk, where is your final way out?

Liu Wuzhou knew that he could surrender to Su You at this time, and this possibility was also logical, but he was really unwilling to be driven by Su You again.

After more than half a year of Dingyang Khan, Liu Wuzhou has more arrogance and ambition in his heart than before.

Seeing that although Song Jingang and others verbally opposed, but the opposition was not so thorough, Liu Wuzhou immediately waved his hand, and decided to personally lead 50,000 troops to the Bird Mouse Valley, and with Wei Chigong as the vanguard, cooperate with Wang Xuan to break the city with a secret weapon.

As for Song Jingang, he led the remaining 50,000 mobile troops to look back at their original territory and go to strengthen Yanmen City to prevent Li Xuanba's possible attack!

The natural danger of the Bird Mouse Valley is not in vain.

Li Jiancheng still remembers that his more than 100,000 troops were blocked by Song Laosheng's 20,000 people for more than half a month, and suddenly heard that Liu Wuzhou personally led 40,000 or 50,000 people to pursue him, and he couldn't believe his ears and eyes.

In the next two days, Li Jiancheng received more and more news from the scouts about Dingyangjun, but these news were all about how Dingyangjun had raped the local people in Huoyi. Adulterous and plundering

How could Li Tangjun, who has always taken the righteous army as his banner, indifferent to such news? What's more, after the specific investigation of the scouts, Li Jiancheng learned that the Dingyang army that was looting around Huoyi City was only twenty or thirty thousand people.

Li Jiancheng saw the provocation of the Dingyang army in his eyes, and was anxious, so he had no choice but to order Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen, the guards of Huoyi, to each lead 10,000 troops out of the city to eliminate the Dingyang army.

How could Li Jiancheng have thought that what Ding Yang Jun is doing now is exactly what Liu Wuzhou is doing?

In fact, this is not to blame Li Jiancheng for not being able to hold his breath, after all, Dingyang Jun's bad deeds were like this when he captured Taiyuan County; Although they have taken over the entire county of Taiyuan at the moment, most of the people in the county will not escape, which is enough to see that Liu Wuzhou is not popular with the people at all!

Soon after Jiang Baoyi and Li Zhongwen left the city, they encountered the 5,000 Dingyang army led by Wei Chigong's partial general Huang Ziying.

Jiang Baoyi was killed on the spot, and Li Zhongwen fled back to Huoyi with only three or five thousand defeated soldiers.

Wei Chigong took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Wang Xuan led his commandos to blow up the two city gates of Huoyi, and Liu Wuzhou led another army of more than 30,000 to enter Huoyi.

With some calculations or unintentional, Li Jiancheng had no power to fight back in the city, so he had to lead the remaining more than 20,000 troops to withdraw from Huoyi and retreat south.

At this point, Li Tang's Heavenly Danger Bird Mouse Valley was completely lost, and Liu Wuzhou then directly took Linfen, Longquan, and Jiangjun counties in the south of the Bird Mouse Valley.

Shangdang County was also within the scope of Liu Wuzhou's attack, but the terrain there was barren and unprofitable, so Liu Wuzhou did not care about the attack on Shangdang.

Liu Wuzhou's intention by now is obvious, that is, to take all the land east of the river and wait for the opportunity to attack Guanzhong!

Liu Wuzhou was able to capture Taiyuan and conquer the Bird Mouse Valley in just one month, which is really unbelievable; Even Liu Wuzhou himself was somewhat surprised.

After passing through the Bird Mouse Valley, Liu Wuzhou's ambition was greatly inflated, and his goal was clearly revealed, copying Li Yuan's path back then, and taking Guanzhong to plot the world!

At the beginning, Li Yuan went south to Guanzhong, and he had been plotting for the land of Guanlong, and it only took more than a month to collect the land east of the river. But Li Tang's control of Hedong is obviously not as powerful as that of Guanzhong.

If it is prosperous, it can be a statue of singing and dancing; But once a new force intervenes, many speculators are ready to move.

Liu Wuzhou entered Hedong strongly, and bandits from all over the country moved when they heard the news.

Liu Jizhen, a Lishi man, and his younger brother Liu Liu'er took the lead in responding, and soon gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to cooperate with Liu Wuzhou to go south; Liu Wu and Zhou rode Zheng Zheng, and in an instant, they broke through the three counties and several counties, and Hedong was in a comprehensive emergency!

However, after Li Jiancheng and Li Xiuning led the defeated army, they converged with the Longxi reinforcements brought by Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan in three or two days, but what else could Li Jiancheng do at this moment except to break his chest?

After the convergence, Li Tang's army has more than 100,000, but what appeal does Li Jiancheng, who has just lost the battle, have? Leading them to recapture Huoyi seems to be Li Jiancheng's biggest dream, but it is just a dream.

What Li Tang's army needs to do now is not to regain the lost territory, but to build a defensive line to prevent the Dingyang army from moving south.

Li Jiancheng hung his head for a few days, and it was even worse after hearing the news about Li Shimin!

After Li Shimin led the army into Xiliang, Li Liang was forced to admit the previous agreement again, and Li Shimin has now withdrawn his troops and returned to Chang'an City!

The good news from Li Tang was bad news for Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng's position as the crown prince is in danger!
