Li Shimin was very cunning in his army, and under normal circumstances, it was indeed the best policy to adopt this strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and transferring Lu Chang's Jiangnan Army from the Luoyang battlefield.

It's a pity that he met a guy who didn't play cards according to common sense, and let a good game of chess in Li's second hand be ruined.

Li Er's strategy is not wrong, the mistake is that people are not as good as heaven, and Li Er in this life is not as lucky as in his previous life, because he met Lu Chang, an opponent who is not easy to deal with.

Li Mi's Wagang army fought a sudden decisive battle with Yu Wenhua and hundreds of thousands of troops, and it was over in just one day.

The Quartet forces gathered in Luoyang, Li Mi's Wagang army and Yu Wenhua's Xiaoguo army faced off, their west was Wang Shichong of Luoyang, and the east was Lu Chang of Jiangnan, in Li Er's heart, it was predicted that this would be a very rare and tragic war.

What Wang Shichong of Luoyang thought in his heart, he Li Er may not have guessed it, because there was an emperor Yang Tong factor in it.

Indeed, Jiangnan Lu Chang's thoughts, he Li Er's heart is clear, doesn't he just want to take advantage of the fire to rob, and when Li Mi and Yu Wenhua and both sides are defeated, Jiangnan Jun takes the opportunity to kill one or even two parties?

It is precisely because he can see Lu Chang's mind clearly that this is also what Li Er is really worried about.

Once Jiangnan Lu Chang succeeds, the situation in the Central Plains will take a sharp turn for the worse.

The situation of the four-way melee was gone, and Lu Chang's Jiangnan Army suddenly rose up and occupied an absolute advantage in the Central Plains, which was really a disastrous result for Li Tang.

Therefore, Li Er must destroy Jiangnan Lu Chang's conspiracy.

I have to say that Li Er's judgment of the situation around Luoyang and the trend of the later period was extremely accurate, and Lu Chang did emerge in the melee of the four forces and became the final victor in the Luoyang battle.

But the situation changed so quickly, this was something Li Er never expected, when he led his troops south, preparing to attack Nanyang, the decisive battle between Li Mi's Wagang army and Yu Wenhua's Xiaoguo army was over.

Oh, my God! This is not a paper army, it is a war of hundreds of thousands of troops! How can a war of this scale be fought for ten days and a half months, right?

All right. The decisive battle between Li Mi's Wagang army and Yu Wenhua's Xiaoguo army ended, but they did not disappear because of the war, and there should be a war later.

However, the beat of the war in the back is not slow either. It's dazzlingly fast.

Wang Shichong succeeded in the mutiny, took control of the military and political power in Luoyang, and then, turned back and led the army to defeat Li Mi, which is different from history. The war between Wang Shichong and Li Mi, Li Mi's defeat was too short, and it was not at all the same as the original historical process.

Yu Wenhua's Xiaoguo army had no food, so they had to find another way. In history, Yu Wenhua did the same, and withdrew his troops to Qi County, but the army he led was blocked by Lu Chang's Jiangnan army as soon as he turned around.

Okay, it doesn't matter if Lu Chang's Jiangnan Army blocked Yu Wenhua's Xiaoguo Army, you should go to war?

Lu Changcai will not start a war with Yu Wenhua, but he knows that Yu Wenhua's army has long run out of food.

Although he knew that the Xiaoguo army had just finished the battle with Li Mi, he was exhausted. Such an army is indeed vulnerable.

But who made Lu Chang optimistic about this army, it was the most elite army of the Great Sui Dynasty! As a member of the Xiaoguo Army, Lu Chang naturally knew the combat effectiveness of this army very well.

Lu Chang is not stupid, he fights with the elite in his hands with the Xiaoguo Army, will he Lu Chang do the business of losing money?

The answer is obviously no, and Lu Chang still has to subdue this army.

One qiē was in Lu Chang's calculations, there was no large-scale war between the two sides, and Lu Chang actually took a decapitation action to kill Yu Wenhua, and then. Xiaoguo Jun was served by Lu Chang.

Even if he Li Er was an immortal, he couldn't calculate that the situation had changed so quickly, and Lu Chang's Jiangnan army destroyed the ancient era, swept away several major forces, and concentrated hundreds of thousands of troops around Luoyang. The war was over in three to five days.

Li Er's soldiers paid great attention to intelligence, and it was impossible for him not to arrange horse exploration here.

The problem is that it is impossible for these probe horses to ride too close, and if they get too close, they will be discovered by Lu Chang's army, but the Jiangnan army has blocked the surrounding areas around them, and the jumping in the hands of Lu Chang's Jiangnan army is not a decoration.

In this case, even if you get information. I'm afraid it's impossible to send the information out on a fast horse.

The Jiangnan Army's jumping is not a dry meal, and there is no discussion about whether a suspicious person will arrest you.

Well, even if he can ride a fast horse to send intelligence to Li Er, but Xiong Kuohai is leading the cavalry westward, and the speed is not slow at all, is it useful for Li Er to get information?

It was too late, and Li Er was destined to be disappointed.

That majestic sea is the fourth fierce general in the world, and Li Tang is probably no one else except Li Yuanba.

Xiong Kuohai led a thousand cavalry from north to south to destroy the ancient and swept Li Shimin's logistical baggage, and the iron hooves stepped through, swept the wind and clouds, and swept a Qiē Tang soldiers. How could Li Tang's baggage soldiers be the opponent of these fierce cavalry?

Naturally, the grain and grass of Li Er's army would not be spared, and the Jiangnan army turned it into ashes with a fire.

Li Shimin has 60,000 troops in his hands, how much food do you have to eat in a day, and the logistics supply is cut off, which is a matter of human life.

"Report, the big thing is not good, the rear of our army was attacked by cavalry, and all the logistics baggage along the way was destroyed, please make a decision to the King of Qin."

"What? All the logistical baggage has been destroyed, where are the cavalry? ”

"I don't know, the other side didn't raise the banner, I don't know where the army is."

"How many enemy cavalry are there?"

"Report, the number of enemy cavalry is not large, and they are all small groups of cavalry to attack."

"If we look into it again and report it again, we must find out who the army is doing."

"No, find out who the army is."

The sergeant left, Li Shimin blushed, and sat in the big tent with Li Xiaogong and others, everyone with a sad expression.

Li Shimin led an army of 60,000 to the south and besieged Nanyang, although there were several attacks, but they did not attack the city with all their strength.

This time is just a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and it is not the best policy to fight to the death.

Nanyang defended the enemy to the death and did not fight with each other, and Li Shimin lured the enemy many times without success.

So, Li Shimin divided the 60,000 army into another 30,000 and marched into Xiangyang City.

For some reason, Xiangyang City also defended the city and resolutely did not fight.

Li Shimin attacked several times, and the besieging army suffered heavy casualties, and Li Eryi no longer attacked the city when he saw that it was not cost-effective, but instead besieged the city.

Now the question is, my own food and grass supply has been cut off, what can I do?

"Otherwise, send out a part of the army to escort along the way, at least some grain and grass can be brought in. Our army has just taken action, and it is difficult for the other side to say that it already knows now, and it is feared that the early withdrawal of troops will make this operation fall short. ”

Li Xiaogong proposed to build yì, his worries were not unreasonable, the army here had only been south for a few days, and it would take time for the news of the siege to be transmitted. No one dares to guarantee that Jiangnan Lu Chang knows the news, and it is more certain to delay it for a while.

"That's all it takes, then send troops to escort them along the way. I don't know how Yu Wenhua and Li Miliang's family fought, so I was worried that Jiangnan Lu Chang would take advantage of the two defeats in a row.

Can't let Lu Chang's conspiracy succeed, it will be easy for him to become big in the Central Plains. It is most beneficial for Li Tang to maintain the pattern of melee in the Central Plains, once the Northwest rebels are resolved, we can only enter the Central Plains with our hands free. ”

"This strategy is correct, once Jiang Nanlu succeeds, his strength will undoubtedly expand extremely quickly. I don't know why this guy flew so fast and unified the land south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, not to mention, Shuzhong was also taken by him.

We are still late to start the army, if we were earlier, the army would be stationed in Shuzhong in advance, and his advantage over Jiangnan and Lu Chang would not be so obvious. ”

"Yes, I have long had the idea of entering Shudi, but unfortunately they cut off the passage into Shudi. It's really strange, it seems that this Lu Chang knew in advance that we were going to seize Shudi, so he started to occupy Shu land early. ”

"Well, I feel that way too. This person is really not easy to deal with! ”

Li Shimin thought well, and decisively sent troops to escort grain and grass along the way, but didn't he know that it was also a meat bun and a dog and never returned.

Although that majestic sea is a fool, he can't stand to fight with Lu Chang too much, he hasn't learned anything else, and he has learned a lot of skills in fighting stuffy sticks.

No, when I first came here, after investigation, I found that Li Er's baggage guard army was not much, and there was no need to use too many troops, so only a few small groups of cavalry were dispatched to attack Li Er's logistics baggage.

In this way, it created a false impression for Li Er, and the attack on the grain and grass of Li Tang's army was all caused by a small group of cavalry.

In the absence of a way, Li Er was forced to send thousands of troops to escort grain and grass, but unfortunately they were facing a thousand cavalry and could not withstand the blow at all.

"Report, the big thing is not good, our army's grain protection army was attacked by a large force of cavalry, and almost all the army was wiped out, please give an order."

"What? The whole army was wiped out, but it was clear who the army was, and how many cavalry they had? ”

"Report, there are about 1,000 cavalry, but the other party still hasn't raised the banner, and I don't know where to do it."

This is the big trouble, the other party is obviously prepared, and it is not a small group of cavalry.

In this way, Li Tang's grain and grass still can't be transported in, this delay is really a bad thing, this is 60,000 troops eating, the grain and grass are consumed too quickly, and it has reached the point of running out of food.

Coming to today's situation, Li Er realized that things were not as simple as he imagined at the beginning.

It seems that the other party's action was premeditated.

What are the troops most afraid of when they are fighting at this time? Of course, he was afraid that the supply of food and grass for the army would be interrupted, and tens of thousands of troops would have no food to eat, which was really a fatal thing.

Besides, transporting grain and grass is not a matter of one or two days, the transportation at this time is very difficult, once the supply is not enough, it is not a matter of a few days, and the consequences are really unimaginable.

The situation is getting worse and worse, and it is impossible for a handsome person like Li Er not to know how strict the consequences will be.

Withdraw, Li Er immediately decided to withdraw his troops from Xiangyang. (To be continued.) )
