Yu Wenhua and a defeat, tens of thousands of troops are not three out of ten, and even fewer flee to the south, because of its location close to the river, Yu Wenhua's army was defeated and retreated after a swarm of bees poured into this river, which trampled on each other, was swept away by the water, was killed by arrows, and was chased and killed by the pursuers.

Yu Wenhua and himself also died in the rebellion, and most of the remaining army was absorbed by Li Mi, who greatly increased his strength, and the south also lost a strong warlord.

Wait until Li Mi's class returns to the court, the little emperor Yang Tong added nine tin, the court does not need to kneel down, and divides his back cover in the pass, the intention behind this move Li Mi is naturally well aware, but he smiled slightly, and did not interfere, the world is undecided, it doesn't matter where the fief is sealed, the so-called defeat is like a mountain, just like this time Yu Wenhua and, and once his army can't defeat Li Tang, then his fief is useless even if it is sealed in a good position, This fief without the protection of the army can only be someone else's bag, and it has nothing to do with him Li Mi, and after defeating Li Tang, his fief is sealed in Guanzhong, which is 800 miles of fertile soil, and there are multiple checkpoints to protect it in all directions, which can be described as both safe and rich, but it is really an ideal place, so he is also very satisfied.

Of course, the little emperor's intention in doing this is obvious, that is, to remind him at any time that their biggest enemy at present is Li Tang in the west, and lo and behold, your fief is still occupied by Li Tang! In this way, Li Mi can work together with him, I don't know whose hand this strategy is, is it Pei Renji? It's just him!

Li Mi naturally knows that the biggest enemy at the moment is Li Tang, but Li Tang's strength is very strong, and he has the full support of the Guanlong nobles, it is very difficult to defeat them, Guanzhong has been the land of Longxing since ancient times, the reason why the two Han Dynasty are strong, and its capital Chang'an has a lot to do with it, after the capital Chang'an, in order to protect the safety of the capital, the imperial army must control the Hetao area, which is a place where nomads flock to it, where water and grass are abundant, the climate is pleasant, and it is a treasure land in the hearts of nomads. But for the Central Plains Dynasty, it can't be farmed here, so it's not a very good place, but this is the grassland, it's a place where horses can be raised, and the war horses from the Hetao area maintain the powerful cavalry of the Han Empire, and it is these powerful cavalry that they can defeat the powerful Xiongnu, and then experienced the turmoil at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after the Three Kingdoms melee, the strength of the Central Plains was greatly damaged, and the land west of the river was almost lost, which also led to the five chaos during the two Jin Dynasty, and almost slaughtered the Han people in the north. And the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which lost the place of raising horses, was only a surplus of defending the land in the end, and it was difficult to succeed in the Northern Expedition without cavalry, although Liu Yu had a Northern Expedition, but the effect was not very large, and although the distance between Luoyang and Chang'an was not very far, the difference between Chang'an and Luoyang, the capital of Dingdu, was still very big.

Li Tang entrenched in Chang'an at this time, from the feng shui luck point of view has occupied the land of Longxing, and he soon sent troops to control the Longyou region, which preserved a large area of horse breeding land for them, speaking of which the Longyou region is much larger than the Hetao area of the Han Dynasty, west of Longshan, including Tianshui, Pingliang, Dingxi plus the four counties of Hexi, namely Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang four counties, and the Han Dynasty's Western Regions Protectorate and other large areas of land, the desertification at this time is not as severe as later, these places are suitable for grazing large areas of grasslandFrom the Qinghai region to the foot of the Yinshan Mountains, this large area is the separation line between the Central Plains ethnic groups and the grassland nomads, and the grassland nomads are strong, so it is difficult to preserve these places, and these places cannot be all lost, so the Central Plains Dynasty will have no place to raise horses, so the war will break out.

In the Sui Dynasty, the Sui army was well-equipped, fighting strongly, and successfully defeated the ******, which greatly eased the security situation in Chang'an, but although the Turks were defeated, the Yang Emperor of the Sui Dynasty did not completely eradicate them, but raised tigers for trouble, and at this time formed a situation where the tail could not be lost, so the security situation in the north of Li Tang was actually very unoptimistic, after all, the Turkic cavalry with strong combat power and mobility was eyeing them from the side, and this feeling was very uncomfortable.

Li Mi returned to the mansion and wrote a letter to Dou Jiande in Hedong, the relationship between him and Dou Jiande was not very good, but when he was in the rebel army before, he also had a friendship with Dou Jiande in Hebei, although it was not deep, but it could also come in handy.

Li Mi since he was named the king of Wei, in Luoyang has been living in the former Chu Duke Yang Su's house, Yang Su is a powerful minister of the Sui Dynasty, speaking of which Li Mi is also his protégé, once attached to his disciples, and Yang Su's eldest son Yang Xuangan has a deep personal relationship, Yang Xuangan also followed Yang Xuangan to fight when Yang Xuangan got into trouble, and gave advice to Yang Xuangan, but Yang Xuangan was a little stubborn at this time, and chose the lower strategy for his own upper, middle and lower three strategies, which eventually led to failure, and defeated him happened to be today's Son of Heaven, Yang Tong, the king of Yue back then.

This can be said to be a trick to make people! went around in a big circle, and in the end Li Mi returned to the original point, he used to follow Yang Xuangan to plan the world for him, and the opponent was Yang Tong, but now Yang Xuangan was defeated and died, but he became the humerus minister of the Great Sui, and he had to play for the opponent of the year, this feeling is very strange and wonderful.

Dou Jiande's mood at this time was not very good, killing Li Yuanji was useless, and it also made his Great Xia Army completely break with Li Tang in Guanzhong, and although Li Shimin's army was retreating, Taiyuan was taken away by Liu Wuzhou, which was unacceptable, Dou Jiande was thinking about how to fight Liu Wuzhou at this time, this guy didn't have any great ability, he ran faster than a rabbit when he fought with the Tang army before, and as a result, his subordinate lieutenant Chi Jingde was captured, and Song Jingang was killed, he didn't care, At this time, when Dou Jiande led his troops to pursue westward, this guy suddenly ran over and occupied Taiyuan City.

The Hedong region without Taiyuan City is incomplete, which Dou Jiande deeply understands, and Liu Heimin's pursuers were ambushed by Li Shimin in the process of pursuing to the west, and suffered heavy losses, if it were not for Su Dingfang's desperate resistance, his troops were only afraid of losing more than half of them at this time, so although Dou Jiande made an effort to go west on the surface and chase and fight fiercely, he had actually withdrawn the army in front of him, and he did not dare to let Liu Heimin continue to pursue, but joined forces with himself, preparing to take back the Taiyuan City.

At this time, he had already received the news, knowing that Nayu Culture and was moved by Li Tang, and sent troops to attack Luoyang, and the Sui Dynasty army in the south had withdrawn its troops to help, so as one of the two armies, he had no reason to continue to advance westward, but he was the king of Xia at this time, and the orders in the court should be listened to more or less, and it would be enough to make a appearance.

However, Dou Jiande is still a little worried in his heart, Li Tang's pressure in the east, especially after the pressure of Tongguan is reduced, will he march to the east of the river again, after all, Taiyuan is of great significance to them, especially for Li Shimin, his army originally occupied the fortress of Tongguan, but its grain, grass and ordnance were subject to Chang'an, Li Shimin has ambitions, which Dou Jiande can see, I heard that when he was in Taiyuan before, Li Shimin did not want to give up Taiyuan, because occupying Taiyuan means that there are a large number of people and fields, The taxes and grain and grass collected are enough to support the self-sufficiency of his army, and he no longer has to be controlled by others, and a large number of ordnance hidden in Jinyang Palace can also be convenient for the army to use, so it was not until Li Yuan issued seven orders to transfer troops in a row that Li Shimin was unwilling to retreat, and he would definitely not give up, and it was very likely that he would send troops to attack.

Dou Jiande sent troops to besiege Taiyuan City, Liu Wuzhou's army was not a lot, and after the previous fierce battle, his troops suffered serious losses, at this time there were only about thirty or forty thousand troops left, but although Taiyuan City is not as tall and strong as Chang'an and Luoyang, but this is also a big city, it is very difficult to take it, especially in the case of thirty or forty thousand defenders in the city, although the strong attack may be successful, but the price paid must be very heavy.

On the one hand, Dou Jiande does not want his army to suffer too many casualties, on the other hand, he does not want Taiyuan City to be damaged too much, and after destroying the city, it will be troublesome to wait for Li Shimin's army to fight, and the fierce siege action will definitely greatly affect Taiyuan City.

So he sent his messenger into the city to meet Liu Wuzhou as soon as possible, since he couldn't start a war easily, then negotiation was also possible, as long as Liu Wuzhou didn't open his mouth, then Dou Jiande was willing to exchange with him.

Dou Jiande started in Hebei, the reason why he was able to succeed so easily in Hebei is that the natural and man-made disasters in Hebei are more serious, and the people are ruined and can't live a lot of life, so there are more people who participate in the righteous army, and there are not a hundred or fifty righteous armies in Hebei, after several years of conquest, there are not many that can be preserved and developed, and the best one is only him Dou Jiande, and even Luo Yi, who is stationed in Zhuo County, was defeated under his hands. However, Zhuojun was affected by the three expeditions to Goguryeo that year, especially the last time, there was a plague outbreak in the army, and Zhuojun was not spared, many people in the city were infected with the plague, which caused the population in the city to drop sharply, if it were not for a large number of Sui troops for the conquest left behind the ordnance grain and grass warehouse support, Zhuojun would have been a ghost town.

This reminded him of the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the Julu area was also greatly affected, and the Julu and Changshan areas were full of mourning, with countless deaths and injuries, like a ghost town, and the current situation is not much better than back then.

Dou Jiande has a reputation for benevolence in the world, which is an advantage and a disadvantage, when Li Tang swept the world, many people were able to be accommodated by Li Tang, but Dou Jiande could never descend to Tang, this point he knew in his heart, Li Yuan Li Shimin's heart was also clear, the reason is that his reputation among the people is too good, even if such a person surrenders, it is also the object of suspicion and suspicion of the ruler, after all, the people have enough support, he can pull the flag and rebel at any time, so it must not end well, This phenomenon occurs from time to time, even in peacetime.

Some extremely powerful ministers, they hold great power, they must be suspicious of the emperor's family, like the generals in the army, the prime minister in the court, etc., if they are very morally standardized on weekdays, very close to the people, set an example everywhere, and have a reputation among the people, then it is over, this person will definitely not live long. Why? Because the ruler will be very jealous of him in his heart, you are so good, and the prestige of the people is so high, so what do you want to do? Quite an emperor?

The struggle for power has always been very bloody, everyone knows this, so there are many people who will pretend to be confused, in a high position and show a not very perfect self, such as moral corruption, greed for money, lust, gambling, etc., they may not be such people, but they have to do this, and they must do this, and let the ruler know their faults, you have to have a handle in the hands of the ruler, so that he will think that he can hold you, so he will be relieved to reuse you.

To give an example, Zeng Guofan in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, when he held a Hunan army that could fight well, and whether it was Li Hongzhang of the Huai Army or Zuo Zongtang of the Twist Army, they were his protégés, and although the Qing court at that time had hundreds of thousands of Eight Banners and Green Battalion soldiers, but these armies had not fought for more than 100 years, military discipline was lax, combat effectiveness was low, and they could no longer fight. Zeng Guofan, who can change his life against the sky, suddenly became the focus of the Qing court's attention, saying that it is concern, but in fact, it is suspicion, the Empress Dowager Cixi has always been ruthless, in her opinion, the more Zeng Guofan's Hunan army can fight, the greater the threat to the Qing court, at this time they helped the Qing court fight the Taiping army, but after the Taiping army was annihilated, will they turn around and rebel?

So the Qing court sent people to closely monitor Zeng Guofan's every move, and even was ready to get rid of this Hunan army general who was a great threat to the empire in the future, Zeng Guofan sensed the danger, he was very smart, knowing that the family letter he wrote would be stolen by the Qing court, but he still deliberately showed great concern for the family's property and other things in the family letter, which made Cixi and others feel at ease, and also caught a lot of his greedy land and bribes through Zeng Guofan's family letter, so he was caught" Zeng Guofan, who was in charge, finally avoided the danger of being killed and escaped a catastrophe.
