Chapter 491: Save Taiyuan
Chapter 491: Save Taiyuan
Li Xian remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Wuhou seemed to be the best at setting fire and cutting off people's food, especially arson, Wuhou had burned out a certain realm, Chibi burned Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, Dingnanjiang burned all the vine armor army, Hulugu almost burned Sima Yi to death with a fire, and there were so many people burned to death that Wuhou was worried that he was robbed of his longevity by the sky. Li Xian didn't feel bad luck when he thought of this section, if a fire could solve the problem, he didn't mind burning more people to death at all.
If the troubled times of the Great Sui are like a wasteland full of weeds, and although the ground is full of ashes after a fire, the seeds are planted after the spring of next year, and the next year is all over the fields and fertile fields, then what harm is there in burning it.
As for whether it will damage Yangshou, let's talk nonsense.
For a person like Li Xian who is afraid of death and cherishes his life, if he sets fire to Yang Shou, he may not dare to do it. However, according to Li Xian's reasoning, this is something that will never happen.
If there is retribution, according to the words of the common people, if you say something that you shouldn't say, sooner or later you will become dumb, and if you see something you shouldn't see, you will become blind sooner or later. Li Xian will definitely scoff at this kind of remarks, when he was ten years old, when he was hiding in the small village called Qugou in the north of Bazhou, the big white ass of the Sun family in the village did not know how many times he had peeked at it. And he quarrels with Zhang Zhongjian every day, and he doesn't know how many times he has cursed Zhang Zhongjian and fallen into the pit. After all these years, the eyes are still good, and the mouth is even better.
There are a lot of things that shouldn't be seen, and a lot of things that shouldn't be said.
So in Li Xian's view, the so-called retribution is actually quite unremarkable. If someone does good deeds and accumulates virtue for a lifetime, he may be retributed if he steps on an ant to death. Some people have done evil all their lives, and finally got a good death, if the retribution is really so effective, how can there be so many injustices in this world?
Wuhou Xinye City burned Cao Jun to cry his father and mother, and Li Xian almost burned Chu Qiansui's 20,000 horses in Wuyang County, which is indeed a little similar, so Li Xian inevitably felt a little emotional.
At night, you can see more clearly with clairvoyance, and the flames that burst into the sky in the city are a little scary to watch. If you look at it with the naked eye, you can only see a red light in the direction of Wuyang County in the distance. The red is so thorough, so thorough that even the night quietly retreats.
He handed the clairvoyance in his hand to Cheng Zhijie beside him, and said with a calm face: "It's a pity, the general of the Naxia army who entered the city is a guy who rushes against the enemy, if he knows that he will cooperate with other men and horses to act and surround the county seat of Wuyang County with several large armies, it is impossible to say that there will be more burned to death." Because of his rashness, the rest of the Xia army escaped disaster. ”
Cheng Zhijie saw that a fire burned nearly 20,000 Xia troops, and he was extremely happy. But when he heard Li Xian say this, he also felt a little pity.
The news from the secret spy said that Song Zheng knew that he was not good at military affairs, and seemed to have plans to release Wang Fubao and Cheng Mingzhen to lead the troops, but was stopped by others under Dou Jiande. Otherwise, it would be Wang Fubao who brought people from Zhaozhou this time, but speaking of which, Cheng Mingzhen seems to be more worthy of attention than Wang Fubao. ”
Li Xian turned the big black horse and said, "Let's go, if you don't chase it, you won't be able to catch up with the team." ”
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "How dare the majestic sea not wait for you." ”
Li Xian said: "He's a straight man, if I let him go first, he won't necessarily stop, etc." ”
"Haha!"
Cheng Zhijie said with a smile: "If Xiong Kuohai knows that the lord you say that he is a straight person, I am afraid that it will be beautiful and bubbling from his nose." When he was on the south bank of the Yellow River, how many times was Su Dingfang yin by him? It seems that he is a simple person with five big and three rough, but in fact, there are a lot of twists and turns in his heart than anyone else. ”
Li Xian also smiled, nodded and said, "Let's chase and kill that twist and turn first, it is estimated that this fire will burn for a few days." ”
As he walked, he looked back in the direction of Wuyang County, and faintly seemed to be able to see the dancing flames still devouring everything.
remembered the news sent by the secret spy before, and said in my heart that Wang Qinian, you have made meritorious service again this time.
Song Zheng originally planned to release Wang Fubao and Cheng Mingzhen to lead the troops, and there is no doubt that this is definitely the right choice. If it really did what Song Zhengben wanted, Li Xian would encounter some trouble. Whether it is Wang Fubao or Cheng Mingzhen, they have all fought in the past few years to make a name for themselves, especially the latter, who is cautious in his use of soldiers and not ruthless, he is definitely a hard stubble. And Song Zheng was originally left behind in Zhaozhou, and the power in his hands was very big. The reason why those courtiers of Great Xia stood up against it, and how many of them took Wang Qinian's money to do things, it is unknown.
Wang Qinian has been in Zhaozhou, and no one knows how much money he has spent these days except himself, but whenever Li Xian thinks of this, he can't help but stir the corners of his mouth in distress.
Escorted by hundreds of elite cavalry, Li Xian and Cheng Zhijie rode in pursuit of the brigade that had already driven to the northwest. Chu Qiansui came from Wei County in the northeast of Wuyang County, and the reason why he didn't find any trace of Yanyunzhai was actually extremely simple, his men and horses passed by Yanyunjun. He came from the northwest, and Li Xian's soldiers and horses went to the northwest.
After catching up with the vast sea of men and horses, Li Xian ordered the team to march overnight, and it was necessary to travel 300 miles in two days and two nights.
As for where he would be next, Song Zhengben would definitely not be able to guess.
Li Mi, who was confronting Yu Wenshi and Lei Ze, couldn't think of it, and as for Dou Jiande, I was afraid that he couldn't think of it. Li Yuan, who was far away in Chang'an, couldn't think of it, and Luo Yi, who was in Youzhou, couldn't think of it, but the latter two would know soon after, because the messenger sent by Li Xian had already been on his way five days ago. The secret spy sent Xu Shiji a secret letter explaining Su Dingfang's suicide, and Li Xian burned the secret letter after reading it. After that, he wrote three letters, one to Chang'an, one to Youzhou, and one to the Saibei grassland.
……
……
Changan
After Li Yuan conquered Chang'an, his army was already a great victory, but even he didn't expect that his daughter Li Huining would give him such a big surprise. Just when he led the army to storm Chang'an, Li Huining's women's army conquered more than a dozen counties one after another, with more than 100,000 troops! Just thinking of the matter between Chai Shao and his daughter, he had a headache.
Chai Shao abandoned Li Huining and left, if Chai Shao voted for someone else, Li Yuan would naturally not forgive, and he would say anything to get out of this evil breath for his daughter. But Chai Shao not only returned to Li Yuan's side, but also made many military exploits on the way south, his uncle worked hard to please, what else can the old man say?
Liu Wenjing was ordered by Li Yuan to meet Qu Tutong, although Qu Tutong had few soldiers at first, but he fought several small victories in a row, Liu Wenjing had no choice but to give up the plan of a quick battle, relying on the soldiers to fight step by step, trying to force Qu Tutong to have no way out. It's just that he underestimated Qu Tutong's ability, and the two armies held each other for more than a month. Later, Li Huining suddenly led troops to kill Qu Tutong from behind, and Qu Tutong was defeated by the enemy before and after, although he fought to the death. In desperation, Qu Tutong surrendered to Liu Wenjing.
Liu Wenjing returned victoriously, and Qu Tutong also went to Chang'an with the army to meet Li Yuan, the king of Tang. However, no matter how Liu Wenjing persuaded him, and no matter how many handwritten letters Li Yuan wrote, Li Huining just refused to return to Chang'an. Li Yuan was clear about the reason, so he blamed himself a little helplessly.
In the study of King Tang's mansion, Li Yuan took a sip of tea and bowed his head silently.
Just after listening to Liu Wenjing, Li Huining was reluctant to return to Chang'an, and Chai Shao, who was sitting on the side, turned extremely ugly. Although Li Huining has not explained why he is unwilling to reunite with his family, how can Chai Shao not know the reason? remembered that he ran for his life alone, and his face was hot and uncomfortable. He subconsciously glanced up at Li Yuan, but saw that Tang Wang's face didn't seem to be displeased.
"It's okay if Ning'er doesn't come back, those heroes on the green forest road under her only listen to her alone, if she sends a lonely person to replace her, I'm afraid that she can't command those unruly Jianghu guests, if it provokes contradictions, it will backfire. I'm also relieved to have Ning'er here, after all, it's more than 100,000 troops! ”
Li Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, let's talk about the Turkic people." ”
Seeing that Li Yuan helped him expose this embarrassing matter, Chai Shao glanced at Tang King Li Yuan gratefully.
"Although Jiancheng has rushed back to Taiyuan with 100,000 elite soldiers to help the emergency, the Turks are menacing, and there is also Liu Wuzhou, who recognizes the thief as his father, I am afraid that only Jiancheng and Yuanji are still not safe enough. Therefore, Lone plans to send a large army north to meet Ashina Jishi, and you can see who is the right person? ”
"The Lord"
Liu Hongji stood up and said, "My subordinates are willing to lead troops to assist the prince and the Duke of Qi." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji, who had only returned to Chang'an for a long time, glanced at the eldest grandson Shunde, and also stood up and said, "My subordinates are willing to go with Brother Hongji." ”
Li Yuan nodded and said, "The two of you are both literate and martial, but they are excellent candidates." It's just that...... Lone also had to send someone to see Ning'er and let her lead the army north. The two of you and Ning'er are not very familiar with each other, so it is a little inconvenient to get in touch. ”
When Chai Shao heard this, he thought that Li Yuan was reminding him.
His face turned red, and he hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are willing to lead troops to rescue Taiyuan!" ”
Li Yuan glanced at him, but shook his head and said, "Sichang, it was most suitable for you to go." But a few days ago, Your Majesty said that you would invite someone to give a lecture on the art of war, and after thinking about it, only you were familiar with Your Majesty when you were in Chang'an, so I have promised Your Majesty that you will enter the palace tomorrow to give a speech to Your Majesty. ”
"Huh?"
Chai Shao subconsciously sighed, and said in his heart, did he understand the meaning of King Tang wrong? When he thought about it, he knew immediately that he was reckless. Li Huining is now dead to himself, if the Tang King really sends him, Li Huining is afraid that he will not see him, and it is better for Liu Hongji and the eldest grandson Wuji.
"Obedience"
He bowed down in response, and was just about to retreat and sit down, when he suddenly found that the second son Li Shimin, who was sitting next to him, gave him a look, and he immediately understood the meaning.
"Father, the child recommends one, which is the important responsibility."
Chai Shao hugged his fists.
"Oh?"
Li Yuan smiled and asked, "Tell me, who can make you value it so much." ”
"Shimin has a good way of leading the troops, and he has won a hundred battles from Taiyuan to the south, and his soldiers are all elite soldiers, so it is more convenient to talk to Ning'er. The child recommended the people of the world to lead the troops north! ”
Li Yuan nodded, looked at Pei Lin beside him and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Pei Lin owed a debt and smiled: "The second son is the most suitable person." ”
"I also think that the second son is the most suitable."
The eldest grandson, Shunde, stroked his beard and said.
Li Shimin hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, the child is willing to lead the troops to help the eldest brother and Yuanji!" ”
Li Yuan pondered for a while and said, "If it weren't for Chang'an, I would have liked to go and meet Ashina Jishi in person!" Shimin, since you are willing to go, then fight this battle for your father! It is to let Ashina Jishi know that the people of the Li family are never easy to mess with! ”
He stood up and said, "That's it, Hongji is the vanguard general, and he will lead 10,000 troops first." Shimin was the commander of the march, and led 50,000 troops. The auxiliary machine is the long history of the march, the three of you, and don't let Lone down! ”
"Whoa!"
Li Shimin, Liu Hongji, and the eldest grandson Wuji stood up straight, and they were all a little excited in their hearts.
