"Bastard!"

"What is this Yuwenshu for? 50,000 people actually let Li Yuan run away, why didn't he chase after Hexi, why did he let Li Yuan run to Guanzhong? ”

Inside the Luoyang Palace, after Yang Guang received the distress document from Chang'an City, the angry Long Yan was furious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Seeing that Emperor Yang was so angry, Li Hun, the general of the right horse, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is angry, the last general is willing to lead troops to support the acting king and defeat Li Yuan and other rebels!" ”

Yang Guang took a deep look at him and said, "Li Hun, the general of the Right Xiao Cavalry, is the general of the Right Xiao Guard, leading 100,000 troops to aid Xijing, I don't want to hear any bad news again!" Does General Lee understand? ”

Li Hun saw the murderous intent in his eyes, and his heart was shocked, and he knelt on the ground and said, "The last general will not be dishonored!" ”

Yang Guang then handed over the two armies of Guoyi and Zhichong to Li Hun, these two armies were the elite of the Great Sui that were established earlier than the Xiaoguo army described by Yuwen, and Yang Guang hoped that Li Hun could lead these elite troops to see him completely eradicated before Li Yuan became powerful.

Li Hun returned to the army, gathered all the men, and just as he was about to set off, he received a secret decree sent by Yang Guang from the eunuchs in the palace, in which Yang Guang asked Li Hun's army not only to eradicate Li Yuan's forces, but also to find out who among the Guanlong nobles secretly supported Li Yuan's army, find them, and get rid of them.

In the Sui Dynasty, there were two Li Hun in total, one was the tenth son of Li Mu, the Taishi of the Sui Dynasty, after the Han Dynasty rode the capital of Weiling, this person was very unlucky, the reason was that his surname was Li.

When Emperor Wen of Sui was still alive, there was a monk from the Western Regions, called Anjiatuo, and one day, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Ye summoned him, and he said to Yang Ye: "When there is a Li family, he should be the Son of Heaven!" ”

It means that your world is not stable, and there will be an emperor surnamed Li in the future, Emperor Wen of Sui was taken aback, before him, the speed of the destruction of the Northern Zhou and Northern Qi was quite fast, so he was convinced of the words of this Fang Shi, and after hearing the words of the Fang Shi, he felt very worried, and hurriedly asked what he should do.

Anjiatuo is a foreigner, and he is not worried about the affairs of the Sui Dynasty, the so-called theater is not afraid of big things, he gave Emperor Wen of Sui a cruel move, and asked him to kill all the people surnamed Li in the whole world, so that the things he was worried about would not occur.

Yang Ye was taken aback, the population of this Great Sui is more than 50 million, and the one surnamed Li is afraid that there are not 1 million but 500,000, and if they are all killed, it will not be a big mess in the world, so he did not agree to this matter.

Although he didn't agree, but he kept this matter in mind, and became more and more worried, so that he even dreamed that his throne was snatched away by someone surnamed Li, and the news was finally known by Yuwenshu, so Yuwenshu bought Li Hun's daughter-in-law, and came to Emperor Wen to negotiate and denounce Li Hun, saying that Taichengtian had a private friendship with some ministers, and he had a heart of disobedience, which seemed to be the person surnamed Li that Anjiatuo said.

Combined with Emperor Wen's dream at night, he believed Yu Wenshu's words and ordered Li Hun to be arrested and beheaded.

And the prophecy that Angata said was indeed fulfilled in later generations, but it was not Li Hun who ascended the throne, but Li Yuan, so Li Hun can be regarded as Li Yuan's substitute ghost.

Li Hun took an army of 100,000 out of Luoyang and rushed towards Chang'an, but at this time Li Yuan had already sent his second son Li Shimin with an army to occupy Tongguan, a fortress in the east of Chang'an City.

What is Guanzhong?

Guanzhong refers to the "four passes", namely Dongtong Pass (Hangu Pass), Xisan Pass (Dazhen Pass), Nanwu Pass (Blue Pass), and North Xiao Pass (Jinsuo Pass).

There are Qinling Mountains in the south of Guanzhong, Longshan Mountain in the west, Loess Plateau in the north, and then to the north and northwest, there are the Yellow River moat as a barrier, and the Yellow River is also blocked in the east, there are natural terrain barriers on all sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, since the Warring States Period, there is a saying of "the country of four stops", so Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty used "Jincheng Qianli" to summarize the advantages of Guanzhong to persuade Liu Bangding to make the capital of Guanzhong.

If you want to enter Guanzhong, taking Tongguan is obviously the closest route, but the location of Tongguan is so important, Li Yuan will not fail to understand, so Li Shimin led 50,000 troops to garrison Tongguan to resist the Sui army's westward advance.

Li Hun heard that the other party had sent a hairy boy to defend Tongguan, and he couldn't help but despise it, but after all, he was a heavy general of the Sui army, and he had been in the army for many years, and he was strict in governing the army, so although he was disdainful in his heart, he still set up a large camp very cautiously, preparing to build siege equipment to attack Tongguan.

Tongguan since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, has been a place of contention for soldiers, all dynasties have fought for Tongguan and fierce battles here, and at this time, the situation is not very favorable for the Sui army.

Tongguan used to have only one pass, but two years ago, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had levied hundreds of thousands of people to build a new Tongguan in the south of the original Tongguan, which made the Sui army's siege much more difficult, which means that they had to capture two passes in a row to open the passage into the pass.

After Li Hun made a field trip, he already had an idea in his heart.

In Tongguan City, Li Shimin was discussing the military situation with a group of strategists under him.

Li Wenjing, who was now Li Shimin's confidant and adviser in the former Jin Yang Ling, said to him: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the Sui army has come from afar, and the food and ordnance must not have arrived, we can send troops to fight head-on, and then send a member of the army to cut off the Sui army's grain and grass, the Sui army will definitely be in chaos, and we will be able to win this battle without a fight!" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Tongguan is high in the north and low in the south, it is not easy to get water, the city sits in the west and faces east, after noon, the soldiers will definitely feel tired, in the long run, our army is afraid that it will fall into passivity, so the plan to break the enemy lies in one word: fast!" ”

Liu Wenjing nodded, and agreed with what he said, after Li Yuan established himself as the emperor, he named the prince Li Jiancheng as the prince of the East Palace, Li Shimin as the king of Qin, Li Yuanji as the king of Qi, and Li Yuanba as the king of Zhao.

"But who should we send to be the commander of this strange army? There is no such suitable candidate in our army so far! ”

Li Shimin sighed, although they had the support of the Guanlong nobles, but there was really no one available in terms of army generals, Li Shimin even wanted to lead the army himself, but he was the chief general of the whole army, and he had to do the business of attracting the attention of the enemy army head-on, so he would definitely not be able to leave.

"Your Highness, please don't worry, Zhao Renyuan will go for His Highness, but I want to ask His Highness for someone, if there is this person to help, this time I will definitely succeed!"

Seeing that he seemed full of confidence, Li Shimin couldn't help but wonder: "Who do you want?" ”

"King Zhao!"

"Yuanba?" Li Shimin let out a low cry, looking a little surprised.
