In April of the third year of Wude, Song Jingang was defeated by Meng Yifei and fled from Baibi to the north. And Li Shimin took this opportunity to pursue the whole army.

Song Jingang's ability to escape was first-class, and his retreat speed was extremely fast. However, Li Shimin spared no effort in pursuit, and traveled more than 200 miles in a day and night, which was a very amazing forced march. Because the march was too fast, the baggage could not even keep up, and in the pursuit, Li Shimin actually ran out of food.

The eldest grandson Wuji bitterly persuaded Li Shimin to stop the pursuit, thinking that it was enough to defeat Liu Wuzhou's main force, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were just in the bag, and if they continued to pursue, they were afraid that they would be defeated due to lack of food.

However, Li Shimin sternly refused, claiming that this was a rare opportunity to completely defeat Liu Wuzhou, and if he let it go, it would be too late to regret it when Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang recovered. In the end, he said impassionedly, "I am loyal to the country, I don't care about my body!" He said so, and whoever dared to say that he would stop the pursuit would inevitably be suspected of being afraid of death and unpatriotic, but as a result, everyone didn't dare to say that he was hungry anymore, and desperately chased after Song Jingang.

In fact, he was angry that he couldn't take credit for this attack on Baibi. Unexpectedly, Meng Yifei was given a chance, and he was able to establish a majesty in the army that was comparable to himself. This is his biggest mistake, and he can only put Meng Yifei in the back as a military advisor, and wait for him to come up with an idea, so that he can make a decision, instead of letting him command the whole army and command such a battle that is sung in the world. Now only by personally arresting Liu Wuzhou, the head of the rebels, will he not be swept away. That's why he worked so hard to arrange Meng Yifei in Baibi, and he pursued Song Jingang's deserters.

Because Song Jingang's department was even more hungry, he was finally chased by Li Shimin in the Bird Mouse Valley, eight battles in one day, Song eight battles and eight defeats, lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and fled to Jiexiu.

That night, Li Shimin's troops camped in the Bird Mouse Valley, and at this time, Li Shimin had not eaten for two days, and had not been disarmed for three days, believing that his subordinates were only worse than him.

There was no food in the army that night, and finally found a sheep out of nowhere, and that sheep should have been the worst, because it was eaten by tens of thousands of people.

Then the Tang army continued to attack Jiexiu, the Song Department was only 20,000 people left at this time, Liu Wuzhou in order to defeat Li Shimin, all the main forces were sent to the Song King Kong Army, the Song Department was destroyed, and Liu Wuzhou's military power ceased to exist.

That's what happened in the space of 10 days. In order to restore his majesty, he Li Shimin could be regarded as a desperate and rapid march, and finally caught up with Song Jingang and Wei Chi Jingde.

And at this moment, in Jiexiu City, Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang, and Yu Chi Jingde are all there. As long as Jiexiu is taken, then the Taiyuan war will be won.

At that time, he, Li Shimin, will still be the most sacred commander in the hearts of the three armies, and Meng Yifei will be ready to follow him as his small military advisor to seize the world.

Of course, all this is just a beautiful plan in his Li Shimin's heart. Jiexiu's topography made him collapse, outside Jiexiu City, there was only a one-lane wide horse racing avenue, and there were mountains on both sides. No matter how many soldiers he Li Shimin has, it is impossible for him to rush into it like the Great Plains of Baibi City.

For this kind of Jedi, which has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to capture it, it's not a matter of soldiers. What's more, his Li Shimin's army was exhausted, and although Liu Wuzhou only had 20,000, he was rich in materials in Jiexiu City, once they were full of food and drink and rushed out of the city, then his Li Shimin's army of more than 100,000 would be easily defeated.

Compared with Kashiwabi Castle, Jiexiu Castle is more difficult to attack except that it does not have a moat. Li Shimin has tried to attack the city three times, but each time it has been fruitless. Such a terrain allowed him to send no more than 30,000 troops at a time, but Liu Wuzhou only used a few thousand men each time to drive his army back.

The long-term hunger and the annoyance of not being able to attack for a long time greatly reduced the morale of Li's army, and some soldiers no longer had the intention of fighting, but began to fight for food. More soldiers prayed for Meng Yifei's arrival, believing that with Meng Yifei's ability, he would definitely be able to attack Xia Jiexiu.

They didn't dare to spread this kind of remarks, but they still reached Li Shimin's ears. Meng Yifei is not someone he can control after all, even if Meng Yifei has the heart to join him, Li Shimin still doesn't dare to accept it.

"How many days have passed?" In the big tent, Li Shimin hadn't eaten for almost three days, he supported his head with one hand and closed his eyes in meditation. Not only was he hungry, but the soldiers were even hungrier, and some soldiers even began to dig grass roots to quench their hunger.

And the eldest grandson Wuji, who has always been personable, is also earth-colored at the moment, closes his eyes slightly, picks up the feather fan with difficulty, and says weakly: "It's been ten days, he Meng Yifei, it's time to set off here." ”

"Well, tomorrow, let Cheng Zhijie and Qin Qiong, who defected to me, lead the team and try to attack the city for the last time. If you can't attack it again this time, then let's see what he Meng Yifei has planned! ”

Li Shimin has run out of strategy, since the ten-day pursuit, he has fought eight times with the fugitive Song Jingang Lieutenant Chi Jingde, although he won eight battles, and he destroyed more than 10,000 enemies, but in the end they still let them escape into Jiexiu.

Now, he can only look at Jie Xiu and sigh, his think tank has racked his brains, and there is no better plan. And he also attacked the city three times, but returned in vain.

General Yan Sheng, who was in charge of the general attack, was also wounded by an arrow, and now he is unconscious due to hunger. And Qu Tutong's army was arranged by himself to guard Baibi City, and now he can only put his hope in the last year when he was in Luoyang, defecting to Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin under his command. These two people have never had a chance to get ahead since they followed him to conquer Liu Wuzhou, presumably he has been sharpening his knives early in the morning and is eager to try. Then, handing over the Jiexiu in front of them can be regarded as a test of whether they have the legendary ability.

"That's the only way, we can't let the soldiers take the risk of attacking the city anymore. Originally, we could have waited for the logistics to be heavy, and then ...... when we had the spirit."

"Don't I know?" Before the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he only heard Li Shimin slam the bookcase, and he didn't know where he came from, which was shocking.

"Then why do you think I chased him so desperately Song Jingang, are you really afraid that he will run away?" Li Shimin was angry at the eldest grandson Wuji for the first time, but the eldest grandson Wuji was speechless and was stunned for a long time.

"His prestige in the army is even greater than mine, it's ridiculous. I'm the generalissimo, he's just a charlatan. Why? Li Shimin expressed the real worry in his heart.

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji also raised his strength, he somewhat understood Li Shimin's concerns, and after understanding, he resigned in a low voice: "Then I will go and arrange, tomorrow I will follow Qin and Cheng and personally lead the troops to attack the city." ”

Meng Yifei is really a charcoal, it is not easy to handle, if he is not careful, it will burn. Even if Meng Yifei would devote himself to Li Shimin's command because of the kindness of the Resurrection Pill, his edge was far from being covered by a Resurrection Pill.

Li Shimin is regretting and at the same time afraid. Knowing this, he would rather sacrifice more people to take down Baibi than let Meng Yifei be in the limelight.

Tomorrow, his eldest grandson Wuji will personally lead the troops to attack Jiexiu, and the success or failure of this time will lead to whether Li Shimin and Meng Yifei become friends or rivals.
