Chapter 763 The Battle of Huayin (2)
"Therefore, if everything goes well, I believe that it won't be long before the situation in Chang'an will spread to Huayin City! At that time, Li Shimin will definitely not be able to sit still, and he will try his best to break through and leave Huayin and return to Chang'an to control the situation! ”
In the Liang army camp outside Huayin City, Li Jing and a cadre of generals gathered in the camp tent, gathered around a map of Huayin City, among the people, Li Jing confidently compared the location on the map with his hands, and said: "And if Li Shimin wants to break through, he will definitely choose to break through from the west of the city, so that he can return to Chang'an directly!" ”
"Ugh! General Lee! Hearing Li Jing's confident words, the general next to him was Xue Wanshu, the boss of the Xue family brothers, Xue Wanshu frowned tightly and said: "This Huayin is extremely important to Li Tang, Li Shimin is proficient in strategy, how can he not see the importance of Huayin, and how can he easily give up Huayin!" Not to mention that there are still tens of thousands of Tang troops in Huayin City, if Li Shimin chooses to break through, then the Tang army will inevitably suffer heavy losses! ”
Xue Wanshu asked the doubts in the hearts of most of the people present, if the enemy commander was mediocre and incompetent, it would be fine, but who is Li Shimin, his past achievements are enough to explain! How could such a man who was able to fight a good war act rashly in such an important war?
Li Jing smiled, raised his head and glanced at Fang Xuanling, who was standing opposite him, and said with a smile: "Li Shimin is indeed a difficult opponent!" It's just that this time he has to take this risk! Lord Fang, you might as well let the adults explain the reason! ”
Li Jing's words aroused the curiosity of the generals, and at the same time, their eyes also turned to Fang Xuanling, this time Li Jing's army crusaded against Li Tang It was a big matter, and Wan He even sent Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to Li Jing's side to give advice. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Hongnong's big victory before, it was Du Ruhui's strategy, and now according to Li Jing's statement, it is obvious that Fang Xuanling came up with a strategy to deal with Li Tang, which also makes the generals feel more and more curious.
"Huh!" Facing everyone's eyes, Fang Xuanling also smiled, looked understated, and said: "Actually, this plan is not made from below, to be precise, it should be the credit of King Liang!" Before setting off from Luoyang that day, King Liang had mentioned that Li Shimin was a usurper for killing his brother, and his name was not right! And Li Yuan was forced to abdicate by Li Shimin, and he was even more dissatisfied with Li Shimin! Now that Li Shimin's army is outside, he can take this opportunity to move one or two in Chang'an City, which will definitely make Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's old troops in Chang'an City take action! And according to the previous information from Chang'an, the prince's plan has begun to bear fruit! Li Yuan is taking advantage of this opportunity to woo the old department everywhere in Chang'an, intending to take advantage of Li Shimin's absence in Chang'an to regain military and political power! Li Shimin, who knew about this, naturally wanted to hurry back to Chang'an and suppress Li Yuan! ”
Fang Xuanling's words immediately made all the generals present stunned, especially Guo Zihe, who had recently joined the Liang army, looked at Fang Xuanling with round eyes, his face was full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Li Jing: "That, that King Liang is really so powerful?" Could it be, could it be that you deliberately put credit on him? ”
As soon as Guo Zihe said this, it was as if he had spoken the hearts of the generals, and almost everyone present showed a look of approval. It's no wonder that Guo Zihe and others don't believe Fang Xuanling's words, Wan He was just a Luoyang businessman, and before the rumors, he was just a gentleman in Luoyang City! Now Fang Xuanling said that Wan He was able to play with such a talent as Li Shimin in the palm of his hand, and no one would easily believe it.
"Uncle Shi! King Liang's talent is definitely not what the rumors outside describe! Li Jing also looked helpless, but thinking about the first time he saw Wan He, how could he have thought that Wan He would have today? couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Uncle Shi, don't forget, not long ago, King Liang personally led the army and defeated the combined forces of Luo Yi and Liang Shidu in Jishui!" ”
"Ugh!" When Li Jing said this, not only Guo Zihe, but also other people remembered Wan He's previous achievements in the Seventh Army in Jishui, and the surprise on his face eased a lot. Xue Wanshu also said with some embarrassment: "This, King Liang is really powerful!" With King Liang's clever plan, no matter how capable Li Shimin is, he will definitely fail! ”
All the generals also put away their previous distrustful thoughts, nodded one after another, and there was a lot of confidence on their faces, and then Li Jing nodded again and said: "Li Shimin wants to rush back to Chang'an immediately, naturally he won't wait too long, in my opinion, I'm afraid that in the next two days, Li Shimin will break through!" So, starting tomorrow, we're going to start the siege in earnest! ”
"Wonderful! Wonderful! As soon as Li Jing's words came out, several of the generals present understood what Li Jing meant, Xue Wanshu nodded again and again, and said: "Li Shimin wants to break through, but we are attacking the city with all our strength at this time to put pressure on him!" forced him to muster the strength to break through! Li Shimin has Chang'an in mind, and he can't find a chance to break through, when the time comes, the dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will inevitably make mistakes! As long as he makes a mistake, then this battle, we will win! ”
After all, Xue Wanshu is the eldest of the Xue family brothers, and he has followed Xue Shixiong on the battlefield since he was a child, and he has rich experience, so he can see through Li Jing's intentions at once. Hearing Xue Wanshu's words, Li Jing also nodded with a smile, and there was a little more praise on his face, and then he said: "As I said before, if Li Shimin wants to break through, it is very likely that he will choose Ximen, then we will strengthen the offensive against Ximen, so that Li Shimin has scruples and does not dare to break through!" ”
"Oooh!" Hearing Li Jing's last words, all the generals couldn't help cheering, these days Li Jing ordered the Liang army to only besiege and not attack, but they were suffocated by these brave and warlike generals, and now they heard Li Jing say that they could start a war, they couldn't wait to mobilize troops and horses immediately, and go to attack the city overnight!
"General Lee! The last general wishes to go to the west gate! "Lai Jia's brothers, Laihong, Laizhen, the first to react, since Li Jing has said, Li Shimin is very likely to appear at Ximen, then it is naturally the most important task of Ximen! In other words, if you can fight the battle well, it will naturally be the greatest credit to Simon's side! Maybe, he can still face Li Shimin and kill Li Shimin!
As a general, he naturally valued military merits, and the other generals soon understood the thoughts of the brothers who came to the family, and their eyes lit up, and they all spoke out to ask for battle. Even Guo Zihe, who had recently joined the Liang army, shouted at Li Jing with an excited face, he had to go to the West Gate to participate in the war!
Seeing the enthusiasm of the generals to ask for battle, Li Jing couldn't help laughing, but with a wave of his hand, he directly suppressed the words of the generals, and finally said: "You also know that this Ximen is important, so naturally I personally presided over the Ximen offensive!" You don't have to fight for this anymore! ”
For Li Jing's words, the generals were immediately dumbfounded, who would have thought that Li Jing would come to "guard and steal"? Although he was unwilling in his heart, Li Jing was the commander of the army after all, and the decision he made was a military order, which even Guo Zi and Li Jing's uncle couldn't disobey, so they could only give up!
Seeing everyone's expressions, the smile on Li Jing's face became brighter and brighter, of course, he wanted to fight for this task, but not completely for greed, but for Li Shimin's attention! Li Shimin was able to win so many battles, and in the previous battle in Huayin, Li Jing even almost fell into Li Shimin's trap, so even if Li Shimin had fallen for his own conspiracy, Li Jing still did not dare to relax Li Shimin in the slightest. When others went to the West Gate to deal with Li Shimin, Li Jing was not at ease, and Li Jing could only feel at ease if he took action himself.
Immediately afterwards, Li Jing arranged again, and arranged all the generals properly, the east gate had Laihong and Laiquan brothers, the north gate had the Xue family brothers, and the south gate was arranged for Li Jing's uncle Guo Zihe to be responsible. After making all the arrangements, Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he slapped hard with one hand, just shooting the location of Huayin City on the map, and shouted in a deep voice: "Starting tomorrow!" Siege with all your troops! Let Li Shimin rest for so long, it's time for him to move! ”
―――――――――――――― dividing line ―――――――――――――――― Chang'an City, since Li Shimin's army went east, the entire Chang'an City seems to be full of tense atmosphere, even those ordinary people in Chang'an City seem to realize that something is wrong, every day deep into the Jane, as soon as the night comes, they all hide in their own homes, no one dares to go out.
Even so, martial law in Chang'an City was even stricter than before, with patrolling Tang soldiers walking back and forth in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, and the sound of uniform military boots echoing in the streets.
"What people!" In a remote street in the city, a cold cry sounded, but it was a team of patrolling Tang soldiers who noticed something unusual and shouted loudly.
With this shout, this group of more than ten Tang Army soldiers immediately raised the spears in their hands and directly surrounded the mouth of the alley in front of them. And the entrance of the alley was blocked by the eaves of the surrounding houses at this moment, and it fell into darkness, if it wasn't for a sound from inside, these Tang soldiers wouldn't have noticed anything unusual!
After a shout, there was no movement in the mouth of the alley, which did not make these Tang soldiers relax their vigilance, but made them more and more careful, and the captain who took the lead frowned, and even a few drops of sweat flowed from his forehead, and after hesitating for a moment, he shouted: "Come out!" Otherwise, we're welcome! Get ready to blow the horn! ”
As soon as the captain's voice fell, a Tang soldier beside him immediately took out a small horn from his arms, which was used by various patrol teams to sound the alarm. The Tang soldier directly put the horn to his mouth, took a deep breath, and was ready to blow the horn at any time. And at this time, there was finally movement at the mouth of the dark alley, and a cold cheer suddenly sounded: "Don't blow!" It's me! ”
