When Wei Chigong saw Li Yuanji, he thought he was a fierce general who looked five big and three thick, but seeing that he was less than six feet tall, with thin skin and bones all over his body, he didn't look like a fierce general on the battlefield at all, but the two hammers in his hands that were the size of a grinding plate really existed in his hands, and the weight of that pair of hammers was definitely not less than five hundred catties.

Li Yuanba was listed as the first good man on the Langya list, Wei Chigong was quite unconvinced, although he was also on the list, but he was outside the top ten, the rankings of the two were far apart, people who practice martial arts have a competitive and aggressive heart, and when they see someone stronger than themselves, it is naturally like going to a competition and competing for a high level, so even if they know that the other party's strength is above themselves, Wei Chigong is still awe-inspiring.

"Your Highness, didn't you intend to form a Xuanjia Army? I see that Wei Chigong is a suitable general, Your Highness doesn't want His Royal Highness King Zhao to hurt his life! ”

When Li Shimin set out on the expedition, he left Cheng Zhijie and Fang Xuanling in Tongguan, and they were just able to stabilize the situation.

And he was accompanied by Li Yuanba and Liu Wenjing, one of them gave advice, and the other was in charge, which was just right.

"The Xuanjia Army can't be rushed, now my father's suspicion of me is deepening, I can't form the Xuanjia Army at this time, but the Xuanjia Army is a matter of sooner rather than later, and when this limelight passes, I will still be formed sooner or later, you are right, Wei Chigong is indeed very suitable, he is strong, brave in battle, what I want is to be able to fight, to charge, and not to have too many scheming brave generals, although Yuanba is also very suitable, but his murderous intent is too heavy, and every time he fights, he will inevitably kill wantonly, I'm afraid that he will be devoured by his own demons, and I'm afraid that even I won't be able to influence him when the time comes. ”

Since Li Yuanba left Ziyang Zhenren and Tianlongguan, his temperament began to change, his original intelligence was different from ordinary people, coupled with the perennial battlefield battle, resulting in his habit of killing, he killed the most people in each battle, so the soldiers in the army admired him and feared, admired his strength and his bravery, on the battlefield, the military general who took the lead in the charge was the most able to arouse the blood of the soldiers, not to mention that this military general is still an invincible god of war, then his popularity in the army is even higher.

But on the other hand, because of his thirst for killing, the soldiers gradually felt chills in their hearts, and the appearance of such a killing god beside them was a bit uneasy to sleep and eat, so they secretly gave Li Yuanba a nickname in private, called the killing god.

Li Yuanba was told by Li Shimin in advance not to hurt the black-faced general who made the iron whip, so although he was unhappy in his heart, but he still did not make a ruthless move, in the face of Wei Chigong's attack, he only used one hand, sat on the horse, did not move, and only used a one-handed war hammer to resist, but in this way, Wei Chigong could not take advantage of the slightest advantage, every time he fought, Li Yuanba did not move, but he couldn't withstand the strong force from the other party when the two sides fought, after a few moves, The right half of his body began to tremble slightly, and Wei Chigong only felt that half of his body was numb, and his arms and even his shoulders and waist had no strength, so he could only use his left hand to support him.

He was shocked in his heart, could this be the strength of the number one master in the Langya list? Looking at his appearance, it is estimated that he has not used thirty percent of his strength, and he has not even moved half a step from beginning to end, but he has already forced himself to such a point, if he exerts all his strength, it will be such a terrifying thing.

Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang's faces are not very good-looking, the captain Chi Gong on the scene is completely at a disadvantage, as long as Li Yuanba is willing, he can take his life at any time, they all secretly glanced at the expressions of the sergeants, and compared with the previous is obviously a bad decline in morale, and as long as Wei Chi Gong is defeated, the Tang army will definitely take advantage of the situation to cover up, and then I am afraid that they will be defeated.

Liu Wuzhou gave Song Jingang a look and asked him to retreat slowly with the army, the rear army and the middle army retreated first, and the front army was behind.

Li Shimin was not watching the play, he knew that Liu Wuzhou was going to run, when Li Yuanba went to war, he had already given orders to the left and right armies, so that they could quietly touch the two wings and backs of Liu Wuzhou's army, cut off their retreat, and prepare to launch a general attack, at this time Liu Wuzhou just moved, he immediately ordered an attack, and there was a rapid drum sound in the Tang army, on the battlefield, this drum spread far away, and just when the drum sounded, Liu Wuzhou's army came with a rapid sound of gold, which was an order to retreat, Wei Chi Gong shook a whip, pulled out the horse and was about to retreat, but Li Yuanba, who had not moved, moved at this time, only to see his feet on the horse's back a little, jumped up, and grabbed down in the air, this grasp was full of heaven and earth in Yu Chigong's eyes, there was no way to avoid, there was no way to hide, and people were powerless to resist, he just subconsciously flashed, but did not make any resistance, and was caught in his hand by Li Yuanba like a chicken, and fell on the spot, and a Tang army soldier rushed forward and took him down.

And Li Yuanba can finally let go of his hands and feet at this time, he wielded a sledgehammer, his eyes were round, and he killed into Liu Wuzhou's army with great momentum, like a steel bulldozer, stirring up Liu Wuzhou's army, with countless casualties, and the morale of the Tang army behind him was greatly boosted, and then rushed over, only killing Liu Wuzhou's tens of thousands of troops with countless casualties and rivers of blood!

In the first battle of Hedong, Li Shimin led the army to defeat Liu Wu Zhou's department, captured Liu Wuzhou's general Chi Gong, killed Liu Wuzhou's heavy general Song Jingang, and recaptured Taiyuan, and Taiyuan is the land of Longxing of the Tang Dynasty, which is of great significance to the Tang Dynasty, so Li Shimin's prestige has been greatly improved after this battle, and more and more people in the court are gradually optimistic about Li Shimin's succession.

In this accident, the crown prince Li Jiancheng not only lost Taiyuan, but also the largest army in his hands was defeated by Dou Jiande in Hebei, and even Li Yuanji was killed, which made his prestige and strength suffer a great blow, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Yuan is not very good now, otherwise the ministers of the court would have to run to his Li Shimin command to obey orders.

Li Shimin went to Hedong more, Li Jiancheng was not the only one who was unhappy, Dou Jiande was also very unhappy, he finally defeated a Li Yuanji, but before he had time to be happy, another Li Shimin came.

Although Li Yuanji is the prince, Li Shimin is also the prince, but the weight of these two people is not the same, Li Yuanji is inexperienced, careless and light on the enemy, rigid and self-serving, very easy to deal with, but Li Shimin is determined, there is no shortage of talents around him who can make strange plans, plus he is very good at using soldiers, and the soldiers under his command are also battle-hardened generals and warriors, such people are not easy to deal with, so although he has entered the east of the river with his troops, but he did not continue to approach the west, he does not want to fight Li Shimin for the time being, because he has no chance of winning.

And in this matter, the Sui Dynasty in Luoyang sent someone to send a letter, this letter was written to him by the little emperor Yang Tong, the letter means that he is willing to be named the king of Xia of the Great Sui, the governor of Hebei Province, and the military and political affairs of Hebei, but he must first write to the Luoyang court to express his court.

In addition to this letter, there is also a letter written by Li Mi to him, this letter is a letter to unite him to crusade against the Tang Army, Li Shimin has only one, but he must defend Hedong and Tongguan, so as long as the two join forces, they can make Li Shimin difficult to take care of, and then they can completely solve the big threat of Li Shimin.

Dou Jiande knew that the Luoyang Imperial Court meant to fight for him as much as possible, at this time their strength was very weak, they couldn't make enemies everywhere, and it was naturally best to be able to win over one, the Tang Dynasty had already been founded, they couldn't win over, they could only fight to the death, but they hadn't called themselves emperors, they just proclaimed themselves the King of Xia, so they could still win over, and this cooperation was indeed good for themselves.

Compared with Hedong, although Hedong has a larger area and a larger population, Tongguan is the main road to Guanzhong, so for Li Tang, the importance of Tongguan is obviously in front of Hedong, so if he Dou Jiande joins forces with the Luoyang Imperial Court to attack, then Li Shimin must be the lesser of two evils, he will definitely defend Tongguan and give up Hedong, and Hebei is the closest to Hedong, so Hedong changes hands, and the biggest beneficiary will be him Dou Jiande, not Luoyang Imperial Court.

Dou Jiande thought about it again and again, and finally decided to accept Luoyang's conditions, and he would not dwarf himself as a minister to Luoyang, but would occupy a great righteousness, even if he wanted to tear his face in the future, it would be very simple, but at this time, the union of the two families was indeed helpful to each other's interests.

Dou Jiande left Liu Heimin to defend the Tang army in Hebei, and he came to the edge of the Yellow River with an army of 50,000, he naturally did not dare to enter Luoyang City, and now he was still a traitor in the eyes of the court before he was sealed, and it was too risky for him to enter Luoyang City, and he did not dare and would not take his life to make this bet.

Dou Jiande accepted the canonization of Emperor Jing of Sui on the side of the Yellow River, and was officially named the King of Xia, in charge of the land of Hebei, but the two sides did not explain the ownership of Shandong and Hedong, which left a lot of room for maneuver for both sides in the future, so the two sides tacitly understood each other, and the alliance between the factories was completed.

After the two sides formed an alliance, they agreed on a plan to send troops, Dou Jiande sent Liu Heimin to lead an army of 150,000 to go through Jingcheng Pass, through the Taihang Mountains to attack the Taiyuan army, while he took the 150,000 army along Zhangshui out of Shexian County, attacked Shangdang County, attacked the north and south, and threatened Taiyuan City.

At the same time, Li Mi sent Shan Xiongxin to lead 50,000 troops to go upriver by water, and march west along the Yellow River to prepare to attack Tongguan, while he himself personally commanded an army of 150,000 to attack Tongguan by land.

In this way, the four-way army has a total of 500,000 people, and Li Shimin will not be able to resist all of them no matter what, no matter how much he uses his troops like a god, he will be unable to make a choice under such an offensive.

And if he chooses to explode Taiyuan, then Shan Xiongxin, who takes the waterway, can immediately cross the river north and besiege Taiyuan with Dou Jiande, and if he gives up Taiyuan and chooses Baotong Pass, then Shan Xiongxin's navy will also threaten their army crossing the river on the river, which makes Li Shimin face great losses no matter what choice he makes.

At this time, the news reached Chang'an City, and there was a panic in Chang'an City, Li Mi and Dou Jiande were the two warlords who used the most troops in the world, and now they joined forces together, and the direction of the soldiers was almost irresistible, how could the Tang army keep Guanzhong from being breached?

Li Yuan's first thought was to keep Tongguan, as long as Tongguan was not lost, Guanlong could be preserved, so he sent Li Xiaogong and Chai Shao's troops back to Beijing to aid the battlefield on the eastern front, and at the same time issued seven edicts to Li Shimin, asking him to withdraw from Taiyuan immediately, defend Tongguan with all his might, and not let Tongguan City be breached.

Li Shimin didn't know this truth, but at this time he was a little involuntarily, after his army left Taiyuan, he was soon entangled by Liu Heimin's army, Liu Heimin has a young general named Su Dingfang, he is only in his early twenties this year, but his martial arts are very outstanding, a spear in his hand makes it superb, what is even more commendable is that he is a cavalry general, can open the bow left and right on horseback, and his archery skills are outstanding, known as Su Shen's arrow.

Su Dingfang did not have many people, only more than 5,000 people, but it was these more than 5,000 people that gave Li Shimin a headache, the Tang army could not retreat quickly, but could only retreat slowly, otherwise it would be easy for Su Dingfang to find a gap and then raid, and Su Dingfang was very good at raiding, his cavalry followed the Tang army far or near, specifically picking the key position of the Tang army to attack, the Tang army designed several times to deceive him, and then gathered and annihilated, but it did not succeed, but it made Su Dingfang more cautious and more decisive when attacking, No mud and water in the slightest.

The Tang army couldn't run fast here, but the Xia army and the Sui army were already in place, Li Shimin got the news that Fenglingdu had been controlled by the Sui army's navy, and he could no longer return to Tongguan from here, so he could only retreat westward, retreat to the Hetao area, where to enter Guanzhong, and then rush to Tongguan.

Li Shimin wanted to run, of course Dou Jiande was unwilling, he immediately gave Liu Heimin an order, let them immediately lead the army to pursue, be sure to drag the Tang army, Li Shimin knew that if he did not cut off the pursuers, they would definitely not be able to reach Tongguan, so he laid an ambush and ambushed Liu Heimin's pursuers, Liu Heimin panicked and was caught off guard, but after all, there were many people, and he found that the Tang army was unstable, knowing that they were in a hurry to retreat, so he chased after him at any cost and fought with the Tang army. The equipment and training of the Xia army were inferior to the Tang army, and the Tang army had the upper hand after the battle, but Liu Heimin had 150,000 people, and he received a death order to be sure to drag the Tang army, so even if the Tang army wins, unless it is a complete annihilation of the Xia army, it still can't get rid of the pursuit, and Dou Jiande's men and horses have crossed Shangdang County at this time and caught up.
