After Li Yuan made the decision to counterattack Liu Wuzhou, he immediately summoned his ministers to discuss the details, but suddenly received an urgent letter of 800 miles from Li Xuanba from Yulin.

Li Yuan only glanced at the contents of the letter, and his face was happy.

The contents of the letter revealed the latest situation on the Turkic side, after Ashnashi Bobi withstood the fierce crusading army of the Chuluo Khan, and finally established himself in the steppe.

Ashinash is the son of Shibi Khan, and Chuluo Khan is the younger brother of Shibi Khan, according to the inheritance method of the steppe brother and the last brother, Ashinash Bobi wants to take the throne from the hands of Chuluo Khan, and must kill several younger brothers of Chuluo Khan.

The various tribes in the grassland naturally understand this truth, so although the combat effectiveness of Ashinash's headquarters is strong, there are few tribes that depend on him.

However, Ashinash's other uncle, Ashina Pot, suddenly rose, and even Chuluo Khan felt his threat to the Khan's throne, so he decisively let Ashinash Bowl go to the Southern Dynasty, hoping that Liu Wuzhou's army could consume part of his troops.

As early as half a month ago, Ashinash Bobi had expressed to Li Xuanba, who was stationed in the north, his intention to send 100,000 troops to help Li Tang eliminate Liu Wuzhou.

After Li Yuan got the good news from Li Xuanba, he felt that the counterattack on Liu Wuzhou was a matter of course, and he quickly finalized the date for tearing down the fence and counterattacking Liu Wuzhou.

Yun Zhongguo's high-level officials, who had already used the Shangfei Pigeon Messenger, learned that the Turks were moving south earlier than Li Yuan, and then Su You made the decision to postpone the land reform, and urged Li Jing to take the eastern capital as soon as possible and march into Guanzhong at the same time.

The route of marching into Guanzhong was all the way for Su Yunfan's troops to go out of Qishan, and all the way for Li Jing's troops to force Tongguan. - It seems that these two armies can only be feints, after all, according to the current situation, it is still mainly to destroy Li Tangbu's army in Hedong.

As long as Li Tang's army is eliminated, Guanzhong is just a bag; More importantly, now that Liu Wuzhou is facing Li Shimin in front, Li Jing's march into Hedong is really the best time.......

Just when Li Shimin ordered an army of 180,000 troops to go out of the city and line up, wanting to seek a decisive battle with Liu Wuzhou, Li Jing also issued an order to attack the eastern capital at the same time.

There wasn't even a single feint, and the assault began.

Dongdu belongs to the land of four wars, from October of the previous year to the present, in a year and a half, the east has been surrounded for nearly a year, and the time of food shortage is also nearly a year.

In such a grim situation, the residents of the Eastern Capital have also changed from more than one million in its heyday to more than 500,000 today, and it can be said that most of the people who can leave have left, except for some people in the system who cannot leave.

The small number of people who can leave but still haven't left are probably because they have feelings for the East, and although the East Capital is chaotic, where in the world is not chaotic?

Although Li Jing had surrounded the city three times before, leaving a city gate for the people of the eastern capital to escape, how could Wang Shichong let them leave? Wouldn't he be the king of the light pole then?

Before the artillery fire of the Yunzhong Army was opened, there were still seventy or eighty thousand defenders in the eastern capital, but after the hundreds of cannons were fired, these defenders turned against one after another, and those civilians who were already hungry and thin were still desperately coming to open the door to meet the Yunzhong Army......

Under the pressure of Li Jing's artillery fire, in just half a morning, Wang Shichong ordered someone to open the city gate, and put on court clothes and took the civil and military officials out of the imperial city.

Wang Shichong surrendered!

The main reason why Wang Shichong surrendered was the loss of Luokoucang, which made the eastern capital lose the source of grain and grass again; Another reason is that he has not been able to wait for reinforcements from Li Tang's side for a long time.......

As early as November last year, Zheng Guo was left with only the territory of the Eastern Capital, and at that time Wang Shichong thought of surrendering, but at that time, Li Yuan did not forget to cheer him up and give him hope.

But now, Li Yuan has already crossed the river as a mud bodhisattva - it is difficult to protect himself!

Wang Shichong surrendered, and the most embarrassing situation was none other than Shan Xiongxin, Zu Junyan and other old Wagang generals; To Li Jing's surprise, they also had some backbone, and after the rumors of Wang Shichong's surrender officially became a fact, they actually made an appointment to die for the country!

This made Wang Shichong, who was still depressed that day, look as ugly as ashes!

Wang Shichong secretly scolded Zu Junyan and others for being pedantic, but his heart was extremely sad,——What he has lost now is his own country after all!"

Unlike Shan Xiongxin, Zu Junyan and others, Hou Junji, Sun Shan, Xue Shui and others became Li Jing's guests after the destruction of the Eastern Capital, and the latter even invited them to join the senior management of Cloud China in person.

Hou Junji, Sun Shan and others were all friends made by Su You after coming to the Eastern Capital.

Hou Junji's relationship with the generals of the Su You Army is particularly close, he was originally Pei Renji's son-in-law, and he practiced polo with Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin, Pei Yuanqing and others, and he was not going to sea with Bard because of Yang Ying's order that day, he was definitely a member of the Turkic polo field to fight for honor.

After capturing the Eastern Capital, Li Jing selected nearly half of the defenders of the Eastern Capital to join the team this time, which was also the highest proportion of soldiers recruited; The reason for this is that the Huainan Army and the Xiaoguo Army in the defenders are of good quality, and the other reason is that the war is about to be fought.

In fact, the news of Liu Wuzhou's fierce conflict with Li Shimin again has reached the Eastern Capital one after another, including the letter of help that Liu Wuzhou handed to Su You. - Obviously, the news that Li Xuanba and the 130,000 allied forces of the Turks were heading south also reached Liu Wuzhou.

In such a situation, if Liu Wuzhou fails to get strong enough reinforcements, there will be only a dead end......

Li Jing's large-scale increase of troops was obviously to deal with the current situation in Hedong, but this did not mean that he would lead the 180,000 troops he now commanded to make a feint attack on Tongguan.

In the land of Guanzhong, there are Tongguan in the east, Sanguan in the west, Wuguan in the south, and Xiaoguan in the north.

Li Jing sent troops to Tongguan, and Su Yunfan sent troops to disperse the pass, but he didn't mind attacking Wuguan with a large army all the way, but before that, he had to either unite or eliminate Zhu Cang, who was close to Wuguan!

Zhu Cang's diet on human flesh was the first target of Li Mi's mind a few years ago, when he even occupied the moral high ground by eliminating Zhu Cang; Now that the Eastern Capital has been lowered, Li Mi will inevitably bring up the old things again, and Su You does not have much opinion on sending troops to the champion.

Therefore, Li Jing immediately gave Li Mi 80,000 troops and asked him to quickly take Zhu Cang and then enter Wuguan.

Most of the troops led by Li Mi are the old Wagang Army, supplemented by 1,000 heavy cavalry and 200 artillery pieces led by Zhao Hu, and the mine-thrower is also a must-have army, after all, Li Jing's order is to fight quickly!

As for Zhai Rang, he could only take a back seat and temporarily became the city lord of the Eastern Capital.

Li Jing personally commanded an army of 100,000 to feint Tongguan to attract Li Shimin's army to come back to help, which can be regarded as a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but I don't know how long Liu Wuzhou can withstand it......

Su Yunfan sent troops to fight for Sanguan, and Li Mi attacked the champion to compete for Wuguan, these two intentions had not yet attracted Li Yuan's attention, but the news that Li Jing quickly won the eastern capital and marched into Tongguan still scared him!

Now the garrison in Guanzhong is less than 50,000 people, Li Yuan only has 30,000 people around him, and Huayin and Tongguan are less than 100 miles!

If Li Jing really wants to beat Tongguan, Guanzhong is in danger!

All Li Yuan could think of was to make Li Shimin lead the army back to help.

When Li Shimin received Li Yuan's order to return urgently, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

As early as a few days ago, after Li Shimin had the determination to break the cauldron and sink the boat, he defeated Song Jingang as soon as he left the city, and won the key battle of Li Tang's army to counterattack the Yang army!

Liu Wuzhou's army started in August last year, and after several rounds of tossing and turning, it took all the land in Shanxi, and after forcing Li Tang's army to Baibi, it was stalemate for three months, but he did not expect to lose almost all of them in a big defeat.

Subsequently, Li Shimin marched more than 200 miles in one night, fighting all the way from Baibi to the Bird Mouse Valley, and then fought with Song Jingang again.

Due to the fatigue of food, the combat effectiveness of the Dingyang army in this winter deteriorated, and because of the chain reaction of the defeat like a mountain, Song Jingang also fled all the way like Li Jiancheng that day......

The difference is that one of them fled south and the other ran north.

It only took Li Shimin three days to recover the lost territory of 300 miles, and the morale of Li Tang's army was greatly victorious, and it seemed that the expulsion of Dingyang's army was only within a snap of his fingers.

After Zhangjiabao got enough news, Li Shi's militia forced Taiyuan, and Li Xuanba and the Turkic 130,000 allied troops had also begun to storm Yanmen City!

Li Shimin believed that if there was another half a month, when Li Xuanba and the Turkic coalition army also entered Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou would be unable to fly, but Li Yuan now ordered himself to rush to the aid of Tongguan......

Li Shimin naturally had to obey Li Yuan's urgent order.

Li Tang's foundation is still Guanzhong!

If he eliminated Liu Wuzhou but let Li Jing capture Tongguan, it would really be a sesame seed and a watermelon.

If you lose Guanzhong, everything becomes meaningless.

Li Shimin also expected that Li Jing was probably just a feint, but the feint attack did not have the possibility of turning into a strong attack.

After sighing, Li Shimin gathered his soldiers almost without any hesitation, quietly left Taiyuan under the cover of night, and then marched back to Hedong.

Li Shimin's army came and went, and it only took half a month, and the season also entered the spring season of the second year of Qingfeng.

After Liu Wuzhou learned that Li Shimin's army had left, he had no idea of pursuing the poor man, after all, Dingyang's family background was not as good as before.

After several battles between Song Jingang and Li Shimin, most of the 50,000 soldiers and horses led by them were consumed, and it was not for Wei Chigong's timely rescue in the last battle, maybe Song Jingang's troops would be wiped out.

Despite this, the current strength of the Dingyang army is less than 100,000 people, and it may not be a problem for these people to give Li Xuanba and the Turkic 130,000 allied army in Jinyang to fight head-on, but it would be too stupid to divide the troops into two ways at this time.
