Shouyang was lost, and Yuci was lost. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the Western Liang army came out of the Jingcheng Pass, the momentum was like a bamboo, and after counting the Yuci, it had connected the seven counties of Taiyuan County. The land on the east side of Taiyuan has all fallen into Xiao Buyi's hands!

The iron ride is strong, stepping through the seven counties and four mountains, the Shanxi sky is dark, the earth is shaking, the Shanxi beacon smoke rises, and there are few fights.

When Li Zhongwen and Yu Wenxin learned the news, they were anxious.

They knew that the Xiliang army was very sharp, but they didn't expect that they would go down to the city to be as sharp as below. Shi Ai and Shouyang are also forgotten, after all, that is not a strategic focus, and to hold Taiyuan is to defend the fundamental place, and it is impossible to cover everything. Selectively giving up some areas, strategically sticking to certain places is what they should do. But Yuci was also broken in one day, which made Li Zhongwen and others unbelievable!

Xiao Buyi's soldiers were unstoppable.

Yuci is the barrier in the east of Taiyuan, Li Yuan appointed Wei Yijie to guard, commanding nearly 10,000 elite soldiers, and the defense of the city is well prepared, Li Zhongwen only thinks that Yuci no matter what, it is not a problem to insist on more than a month, as long as Yuci holds, Taiyuan City is to sit back and relax, and the Turkic soldiers will soon go south, and Xiao Buyi will not be able to please at that time.

But the Turkic soldiers have not arrived, and Xiao Buyi has arrived.

Xiao Buyi has been stabbed, Xiao Buyi used a city-breaking crossbow, Xiao Buyi did not conquer Yuci, but destroyed Yuci City. After the trebuchet and the city-breaking crossbow bombarded in turn, destroying the Yuci city wall, the Western Liang army relied on the large number of people to defeat the Tang army, relying on the large number of people, and broke through the opponent's defense.

Tang army generals Wei Yijie and Yang Maojin died in battle, and nearly 10,000 Tang troops escaped in Yuci.

Breaking Yuci, crossing the Yellow Snake Ridge is Taiyuan, and when they learned that Yuci was broken, Li Zhongwen and others had already been all soldiers and were ready to fight.

Li Zhongwen and the right guard general Yu Wenxin studied overnight and discussed the strategy of defending against the opponent. Li Zhongwen is Taichangqing, because of the meritorious service in the battle of Hedong, he has been crowned as the Duke of Taigu, although Yuwenxin was falsely accused by Li Yuanji, but Li Yuan still knows the general situation after all, and knows that to guard the country, but also rely on these loyal courtiers, it is because after the loss of Taiyuan, he did not blame Yuwenxin, and later named him Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, which is very important. The two of them won Li Yuan's trust, knew how to repay their kindness, and were determined to fight to the death to defend the city.

"Taigu Gong, there is no shortage of soldiers in Taiyuan City, there are as many as 50,000 elite soldiers, plus miscellaneous wanderers, recruited people, it is not a problem to make up 100,000 people. I heard that the Western Liang army was only 100,000, and Taiyuan City used 100,000 people to defend it, occupying the terrain, and the grain and grass were enough for several years, so regular resistance was not a problem. Yu Wenxin analyzed the overall situation.

"Xiao Buyi always does not use conventional means to attack the city." Li Zhongwen said worriedly: "In the seven eastern counties of Taiyuan, Yuci has sufficient troops, and he destroyed the city wall with a broken city crossbow, and then conquered it with one drum, which makes people worry when they think about it." ”

Yu Wenxin said: "Taiyuan is different from Yuci, Taiyuan is divided into two cities, the inner and outer cities, and his city-breaking crossbow may be able to destroy the outer city, but it is not so easy to attack the inner city." ”

Li Zhongwen muttered: "You mean, we and the Western Liang army are preparing to fight a roadway battle outside the inner city? If you rely on the terrain, you can indeed keep the ballista far away. ”

Yu Wenxin nodded and said, "We do have to be prepared for this. Yuci was defeated, and the biggest problem was that he saw that the opponent was fierce, the city soldiers were insufficient, and the city was not out, so that the opponent choked the dead hole. ”

Li Zhongwen thought of something, "We can't repeat the mistakes of the past, since we have more troops, it is better to send two teams of soldiers and horses to go down between Longshan and Mengshan." If the enemy attacks the city, our army can harass its belly and back from both sides, and if it does not attack, we will not be able to hold out? "Longshan is located in the southwest of Taiyuan, Mengshan is located in the northwest of Taiyuan, two mountains and one city are exactly a triangle. Yuci fell, Taiyuan went to shield, and Li Zhongwen could only divide the camp to resist Xiao Buyi.

Yu Wenxin said: "This is indeed a trick move, so that we will not be like Yuci, who is beaten and unable to fight back." If you can wait for the opportunity to destroy the ballista and catapult of the Western Liang army, you will have a greater grasp of defending the city. ”

Li Zhongwen smiled bitterly: "Regarding the division of troops, I am actually quite hesitant, I don't know what the result is. The Western Liang Army has broken through Yuci, stationed in the west of the Yellow Snake Ridge, looking at Taiyuan from afar. Presumably, even if several counties are broken, they will have to rest for a few days before they can attack Taiyuan with all their might. Ballistas and trebuchets are their siege weapons, how can they not be guarded by elite soldiers? But in my opinion, he may not necessarily destroy Taiyuan City. ”

Yu Wenxin said: "Why does Taigu Gong think like this? ”

"If Xiao Buyi goes to Taiyuan, he will be like the saint, relying on Taiyuan as a springboard to attack Hedong and cross the river to attack Guanzhong, since this is the case, he will always leave this foundation land."

Yu Wenxin shook his head and said: "I don't think so, Xiao Buyi is a scheming person, he is determined to be in Guanzhong, since this is the case, he should do whatever it takes." He only wanted to break the city, open up the road to Hedong, follow the method of the Holy Lord to take Guanzhong, and destroy Taiyuan for him, it is not impossible. ”

Li Zhongwen looked up to the sky and sighed: "If he really has this thought, he is only afraid of the misery of life." ”

Yu Wenxin's eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice: "Taigu Gong, if Xiao Buyi really wants to destroy the city, I have a plan." ”

Li Zhongwen hurriedly asked, "I don't know what General Yuwen's plan is?" ”

Yu Wenxin said: "In the past, Lishan Fei rushed to attack Taiyuan, and Xiao Buyi once relieved the siege of Taiyuan...... The prestige is very high in Taiyuan. ”

Li Zhongwen frowned and said: "I am indeed worried about this, back then, Xiao Buyi sent a message thousands of miles away, fought the Turks, and relieved the siege of Yanmen. After that, he broke through the mountains and flew away, and the people in the border areas had a good impression of him. If the people listen to his rumors and turn against him, we cannot afford to guard against it. ”

Yu Wenxin said: "But at this time and that time, Xiao Buyi has been fighting in Jiangnan and Dongdu all these years, and the people of Shanxi have mostly returned to their hearts. The people are ignorant and like to believe rumors, but we can actually spread rumors, saying that the Western Liang army was cruel and violent, and everywhere they went, they slaughtered countless people and did not grow a single grass. ”

Li Zhongwen said: "Well...... It's also possible. ”

Seeing that Li Zhongwen agreed, Yuwen Xin lowered his voice and said: "Actually, this trick was also used in the Holy Heavens when the incident occurred, but it was only used to arouse the resentment of the people against the people who colluded with the Turks......

"Silence!" Li Zhongwen had already heard something, and hurriedly looked around, and saw that there was no one left and right, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "General Yuwen, this kind of thing can't be talked about!" ”

Yu Wenxin shook his head, "Actually, everyone knows this kind of thing. ”

"Needless to say." Li Zhongwen said resolutely.

Yu Wenxin sighed, "Okay, I just want to say that as long as we publicize Xiao Buyi's cruelty, the people don't know the truth, and they will naturally work together with us." As long as Xiao Buyi destroys the outer city, the people should help us fight bravely with the Western Liang army in order to protect their homeland, and even if we lose to Xiao Buyi, we can inflict heavy losses on him. If the Turks arrive...... They will definitely be able to be beaten back to Hebei, and maybe they will be wiped out in Shanxi, I don't know what will happen to Taigu? ”

Li Zhongwen hesitated for a long time, "This plan is feasible, but when will this Turkic soldier arrive?" ”

Yu Wenxin sighed: "The harm caused by the Turkic soldiers will not be less than that of the Western Liang army. ”

Li Zhongwen knew what Yuwenxin meant, when he defeated Liu Wuzhou, the Turkic soldiers actually didn't exert too much strength, they just burned, killed and plundered in the area of Mayi and Yanmen, which made Liu Wuzhou's people panic. After all, most of the people who followed Liu Wuzhou's uprising were there, and their hometown was in trouble, so how could they not be anxious? Song Jingang Baibi was defeated, and Liu Wuzhou actually still had some strength, but he abandoned Taiyuan and fled north, because he had suffered from the enemy on his back and had no intention of fighting.

Li Zhongwen took over Taiyuan after that, but after that battle, the Turkic soldiers thought that they had achieved high merit, but they did not have enough in the borderlands, and came to Taiyuan to plunder. Thinking that the emperor Yanjing of the Tang Army was a vassal to the Turks, how could those Turks take Li Zhongwen in their eyes? As a result, the Turkic soldiers plundered for more than a month, annihilating and plundering everything, the people suffered to the fullest, and Li Zhongwen was completely unable to control it. He knew that with his own ability, he couldn't defeat Xiao Buyi. Therefore, I hope that the Turkic soldiers will come, defeat the Western Liang army as soon as possible, and return Shanxi to peace, but I know that the Turkic soldiers are coming, but I am afraid that it will become even worse, which will make the army and the people uncomfortable.

Just as he was hesitating, a soldier hurriedly came and said, "Taigu Gong, the Turkic envoy Gu Jilu is here." ”

Li Zhongwen was mixed, happy that Gu Jilu was a celebrity under Jieli, and now he has been promoted to Qi Jin, when he once went to Xijing with Jieli to show off his might, almost riding on Li Yuan's head. Since he is here, it means that Jieli is probably going to send troops, and the worry is that Gu Jilu is an insatiable guy, and it is not easy to settle this person.

Standing up to greet him, Yu Wenxin frowned a little, but he could only follow.

In Taiyuan City, the two of them are the largest, if they don't welcome them, I'm afraid that this bone will turn around and leave.

When Gu Jilu came in, he was followed by a few Turkic generals, his eyes seemed to be on the top of his head, and he said straightly: "Li Zhongwen, this Taiyuan City is not as full of flames as I imagined." But listening to the tone of your message, I always feel that even if a person burns his ass, it is nothing more than that. Has the face of the person next to you been kicked by a donkey, why that color? Several Turkic generals around him were laughing and full of contempt. This is an advantage in the bones, at least for many years, except for the short ten years when Qimin was in power, the Turkic soldiers have always regarded the Central Plains as a treasure trove, and they can take whatever they want. They look down on the Central Plains, because in their eyes, the Central Plains will only have internal strife, and will only ask the Turks for help to fight the world, and after fighting the world, they will always show goodwill to the Turks. How could such a Central Plains person be regarded by the Turks?

Yu Wenxin's heart was on fire, and he secretly thought that he was a great general, but in the eyes of Gu Jilu, he was not as good as a dog. Li Zhongwen took a breath, squeezed out a smile and said, "Tong Jin said that he was laughing." He...... I am unwell and sick. ”

Gu Jilu was accustomed to this kind of groveling, and he was too lazy to care, yawned, chose the most honorable position, sat down, and said, "I brought two hundred people." ”

"Okay, I got it." Li Zhongwen pulled over a pro-soldier and whispered a few words, and the pro-soldier left in a hurry, and after a while, a few people came over with a big box.

Gu Jilu finally came to his senses and straightened down. The Turkic generals around him were even more like dogs seeing bones, their eyes lit up, and the lid of the box opened, revealing a dazzling light. At this time, the warm sun was shining in the lobby, shining on the yellow-orange gold, glowing with a blazing light.

Gu Jilu laughed and said: "Li Zhongwen, among these people in the Tang Dynasty, I think you are the most pleasing to the eye. ”

Li Zhongwen said: "Some thoughts, please accept them with a smile." Seeing Gu Jilu's satisfied expression, Li Zhongwen asked, "But I don't know when the Khan will send troops?" ”

"The Western Liang Army has not arrived, why are you in a hurry?" Gu Jilu looked back, "The few maids I brought back last time were good-looking, and they were very envious when they saw them." This time...... I'd like you to help find a few too. ”

Li Zhongwen's face changed slightly, and he was as usual in an instant, "This ...... Naturally, you can. Several generals around Gu Jilu laughed, with indescribable contempt and obscenity on their faces.

Li Zhongwen endured the humiliation and said in a low voice: "I don't know when the Khan will send troops?" ”

Gu Jilu stood up and walked over, patting Li Zhongwen on the shoulder vigorously, "You make us satisfied, of course we can't accept your filial piety in vain." Don't worry, the Khan's army of 100,000 has now arrived at Tianchi in the north of Loufu. You need the Western Liang army to come over quickly, and then let us take their back road. ”

Li Zhongwen was surprised and delighted, according to his news, the Turkic soldiers had been in Dingxiang all along, how could they suddenly advance hundreds of miles south to the north of Loufu?

Seeing that Li Zhongwen was puzzled, Gu Jilu laughed and said, "Don't you have a saying in the Central Plains called soldier and noble speed? Khan sent troops, how could you have imagined? Hurry up and prepare the woman! ”

Gu Jilu only stayed in Taiyuan City for three days, and Xiao Buyi didn't even have soldiers in the city!

Li Zhongwen couldn't figure it out, the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians couldn't figure it out, but Gu Jilu felt that he was majestic, Xiao Buyi knew that he had arrived in Taiyuan, and he didn't dare to attack, so he couldn't help humiliating Li Zhongwen again.

Three days later, Gu Jilu left Taiyuan City with 200 Turkic soldiers and plenty of gold and women, saying that since Xiao Buyi would not send troops, then he would ask the Khan to send troops.

Li Zhongwen spoke softly and discussed, asking Gu Jilu to say more good things, and Gu Jilu laughed and went out of the city, all the way to the north. After waiting for dozens of miles, he reined in his horse and ordered a few generals to lead the Turkic soldiers back first, but he took one with him, and more than a dozen Turkic soldiers turned eastward.

To the east is the territory of the Western Liang Army, and to the southeast is the Yellow Snake Ridge, if he let Li Zhongwen see this move, most of them will not understand.

Gu Jilu's move will not only make Li Zhongwen inexplicable, even the general who accompanied him would be confused, "Tong Jin, what are we going to the East for?" ”

"It is said that the king of Xiliang is powerful in the world, but I want to meet it. Aren't you always wanting to see him? "Bone foundation Lu Dao.

The general said hatefully: "I can't wait to skin him and cramp!" But if we go like this, are we not sent to death? "Although it is arrogant, it can be built on the foundation of thousands of troops, knowing that these people are just afraid that it will not be enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the Western Liang Army.

"Teller died at his hands, no wonder you hold a grudge, but this time we want to be messengers." Bone foundation Lu Dao. It turned out that Telerek was Telerehan's brother, and Telerehan died under Xiao Buyi's iron horse in Hebei because Telerek was resentful of Xiao Buyi.

"Emissary? What messenger? Telezek was stunned.

Gu Jilu smiled: "Do you think we really want to help Li Tang?" ”

Telezek changed color and said, "Are we going to help Dongdu?" ”

Gu Jilu sighed: "The khan does not have a headache against the enemy, but the headache is that our generals are too simple-minded. ”

Terreek knew that Gu Jilu was mocking himself, his face turned red, and he said: "I don't understand a lot, but the revenge of the eldest brother can't help but revenge." ”

Gu Jilu said: "They don't often say that a gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late. Revenge is not in a hurry. Although the khan is now helping Li Tang, he does not want Li Yuan to dominate the world. The best result, of course, is to make Xijing and Dongdu fight to lose. Then the strength of the Central Plains was greatly reduced......"

"At that time, we can enter the Central Plains and dominate the world?" Telezek excitedly.

Gu Jilu laughed and said, "Teller, you're not too stupid. Of course, the best result is to let them fight for both sides, so that the Khan can get the world, and the worst will also make them lose their vitality, and when the time comes, we will ask for their money, wouldn't it be easy? ”

"And this hatred?" Telezek never forgot to say.

Gu Jilu's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Teller, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Why rush to avenge this revenge, wouldn't it be even more pleasant to torture them every day? ”

Seeing the Yellow Snake Ridge in sight, there was a flag fluttering on the mountain, and he knew that he had arrived at the territory of the Western Liang Army, and he was worried, "If we go and they kill us, what will we do?" ”

Gu Jilu smiled contemptuously, "First, I am the envoy, the two countries exchange troops, and do not kill the envoy, this is the rule since ancient times. Although they are not good in the Central Plains, they still have to abide by this rule. Second, I negotiated with them on behalf of the Khan to give them a chance, and they couldn't ask for it, so how could they kill us? On the contrary, they begged us and could not ask for it. I think Li Tang's Emperor Yanjing is respectful to me, what is a king of Xiliang? ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Jilu laughed, and Telezek thought about it, and he couldn't help but let go of his thoughts.

The two of them took more than a dozen people to ride their horses close to the Yellow Snake Ridge, only to see the Xiliang military camp under the mountain, with a magnificent momentum, and they couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Before he could get closer, a group of cavalry had already come over, and the leader was Li Wenxiang, shouting: "What are you doing?" The cavalry came so quickly that when Li Wenxiang asked questions, they had surrounded more than a dozen Turkic soldiers, and they looked at each other coldly.

After all, Gu Jilu had seen the big scene, so he was not frightened, and said in a deep voice: "My name is Gu Jilu, the Turkic Qi Jin, on the order of the Khan, came to negotiate with the King of Western Liang. ”

Li Wenxiang glanced at Gu Jilu up and down, and said coldly: "Wait." He rode his horse back, and the rest of the soldiers were eyeing each other, their faces were not good, and Gu Jilu was calling for wind and rain in Li Tang, and he was used to seeing flattering faces, and he was very uncomfortable when he suddenly saw this kind of reception. After Li Wenxiang entered the camp, he came out for a long time, during this period, although Gu Jilu was arrogant, he did not dare to go wild, just because he found himself surrounded by opponents, this team of cavalry about 100 people, all of them looked fierce and fierce, and it was difficult to deal with.

When his whole body was cold and his buttocks were hot, Li Wenxiang came out of the camp and said indifferently: "Follow me." The cavalry escorted Gu Jilu and others into the Xiliang camp and walked straight over from the horse marching road.

Gu Jilu's eyes rolled wildly, and he took the opportunity to observe the Xiliang military camp. Although he had learned the method of going to camp, it was only used in the grassland, and compared to here, it was as straight as an ignorant child. But what shocked him the most was not the peak of the lineup of the Western Liang Army, but that he could hear the sound of the wind, the sound of water, and the neighing of horses all the way, but he couldn't hear the sound of any soldiers.

The entire battalion had more than 10,000 soldiers, but it was as silent as death.

Silence, silence and earth-shattering!

Gu Jilu finally cleaned up his contempt, and he couldn't help but say that these Nanban really had a bit of a doorway. After Li Wenxiang entered the camp for more than 100 steps, he handed over Gu Jilu and others to another general to lead. That man's steps were calm, his eyes were like electricity, and he was Zhang Ji, the first personal guard under Xiao Buyi.

Zhang Ji glanced up and down at Gu Jilu, and for some reason, Gu Jilu felt like a livestock to be slaughtered, and he was secretly frightened.

Nodding, Zhang Ji said in a deep voice: "You two come here, and the rest of you stay." He was referring to Gujilu and Telezek, and his tone was unmistakable. Gu Jilu smiled: "I'll wait for thousands of miles to come, and they also want to meet the king of Xiliang." ”

Zhang Ji said coldly: "King Xiliang is gone!" If you are verbose, get out of here with them! ”

The bones and lungs were almost blown up, and Telezek was about to come forward to fight, and the fierce surname came out, where could he manage a lot. Accustomed to seeing the respectfulness of the Central Plains people, these people are so indifferent, how can they not make him angry? Seeing that Zhang Ji didn't even move a single hair in the face of Telezek's anger, Gu Jilu grabbed Telezek and laughed: "Since you came, you always want to see you, you wait here." He knew that this was Xiao Buyi's territory, and it would be useless to add more than a dozen subordinates, so he was more generous. Zhang Ji led the way, led the two to the front of the camp, opened the curtain, entered first, and said: "King Qixi Liang, his subordinates have brought the Turkic envoys. ”

Gu Jilu finally saw Xiao Buyi, he really had never seen Xiao Buyi, and he was also curious about what the legendary King of Xiliang looked like.

The first time he saw Xiao Buyi, he knew that this must be the king of Xiliang.

If it weren't for the mighty King of Xiliang, who would have such momentum to look down on the world? But this King of Xiliang is far younger than he imagined, and far wiser than he imagined.

His thick eyebrows are like two knives, and his deep eyes seem to pierce the minds of others. Seeing Gu Jilu coming, Xiao Buyi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "What does Jieli want to say?" ”

Gu Jilu heard that he didn't even call the Khan, Rao is scheming was deep, and he couldn't help but be angry, "King Xiliang, the Khan has gathered 300,000 soldiers in Dingxiang right now......" He stopped talking, staring at Xiao Buyi's expression. Xiao Buyi was not surprised, and smiled slightly, "He went south to the Central Plains, does he want to hunt with me?" ”

Gu Jilu took a long breath and said tentatively: "Khan wants to say that since he can help Li Tang, of course he can also help you!" No one can stop the Turkic army of 300,000, King of Western Liang, don't you say? ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, laughing extremely sarcastically, with arrogance in the ridicule, "You are wrong! ”

You're wrong! Although these three words were light, they rumbled in Gu Jilu's ears.

Xiao Buyi didn't look at the bones, but looked at the five fingers of his right hand, he slowly bent his fingers, clenched into a powerful fist, and said word by word: "My life is up to me, not to the sky!" I can't call the shots of my life, let alone make a profit? I am seeing you today, not to negotiate with you, but to tell you that when I was a general, I could stop the 400,000 army of Shibi, and now I am the king of Xiliang who is the mighty king of the world, and I am only 300,000 Turkic soldiers, what is it in my eyes? Go back and tell Jieli that if you want to fight, you will fight, don't say much! ”

、、、ps: I didn't say anything, I was very moved, I was very moved.

In the past few months, the recommended votes have been stumbling, always dangling on the fifteenth, and today my friends are full of three thousand more votes than before. In the morning, he actually rushed to the second position in one fell swoop, and now it is stable in the top ten, which proves that the brothers and sisters who support Mowu are still very strong!!

This love really moved Mo Wu inexplicably.

Mo Wu can only write the country with all his heart to repay.
