Chapter 652: You are the emperor's destiny

Li Chengde didn't understand what the words "where is the capital" and where are you going, nor did he understand the smile on the corner of Xu Shiji's mouth. He was uneasy to the extreme, and he was deeply afraid that this trip to Chang'an City would take a road of no return. King Yan's men and horses conquered Hedong County, and after captive themselves, the army went straight to Chang'an, what King Yan wanted to do has been revealed, this kind of thing Li Chengde 10,000 does not want to get involved.

If spending money can make Xu Shiji change his mind, he is willing to give all his money. If the beauty can let Xu Shiji let him go once, of course, because he is still young, he has no princess and no side room, but he is willing to give all the maids in the palace to Xu Shiji.

But it is clear that Xu Shiji seems to lack nothing.

When Li Chengde had to embark on the journey to Chang'an and turned around to look at the wall of Hedong City, what he thought in his heart was that he didn't know if he could see the plum blossom in the palace again.

The army rested in Hedong for three days and immediately started to pull, and all the grain and grass in Hedong City were replenished for the army. Xu Shiji left Liu Man to lead an army of 20,000 to guard Hedong City, he took other generals to lead an army of 110,000 to divide into two routes, of which 50,000 went straight to Chang'an by water, he personally led 60,000 horses to cross the Yellow River and go straight to Feng Yicheng County, Feng Yijun County guard Li Shidao decisively ordered to open the city gate when he saw the flag of Yan Yunjun, and Yan Yunjun took another big city without a single soldier.

After resting in Feng Yicheng for two days, Xu Shiji left Hou Junji to lead an army of 10,000 to defend the city, and led the army to cross Luoshui, and then swept under the city of Weinan like the wind. Xu Shiji asked Li Chengde, the king of Hedong, to deceive the Weinan gate in the name of entering the city to rest temporarily, and the army immediately poured in, and conquered Weinan, the northeast barrier of Chang'an, in just one day.

Hedong, Feng Yi, Weinan exhausted, the northern army of the Tang Dynasty was isolated, Li Xian's layout was finally completed, at this time Xu Shiji did not need to hide any traces, Weinan is close to Chang'an City, if the army marches with all its strength, it will not take three days to reach Chang'an City.

Even if the news leaked out, the official roads and waterways in the northeast and northeast of Chang'an City were blocked, and Li Yuan's order to transfer troops was afraid that he would not be able to go out for three hundred miles at all. Even if he can transfer Taiyuan soldiers and horses, and even transfer the defenders of Yanmen and Mayi, he will travel thousands of miles to the south, and when the Tang army arrives, it may be impossible to say who will hold Chang'an City.

At the same time that Xu Shiji led the army to Weinan, Yu Wenshi and led the army to defeat the men and horses of Cao Dan, the general under Dou Jiande, in Dongjun, and the Xia army, which bypassed Su Shengcai's water division from Jibei County and crossed the Yellow River, did not dare to provoke the Yanyun army in Dongping County, but hurried along the Yellow River to the direction of Dongdu to rescue Wang Shichong. But in Dongjun was intercepted by Yu Wenshi, the two sides fought, the Xia army was tired of running thousands of miles, and the Yanyun army waited for work, and after two days of bloody battle, Cao Dan lost more than 40,000 troops and had to lead the army to retreat.

Dou Jiande was furious, as far as the Hebei counties more than 400,000 soldiers and horses went south, forcibly crossed the Yellow River, Su Shengcai led the naval army to block the 400,000 Xia army for half a month before withdrawing to Juyeze, Yu Wenshi and led the army on the south bank of the Yellow River and Dou Jiande fought fiercely for several days, both sides had their own victories and defeats, Yu Wenshi and fought and retreated, and sent people to Li Daozong outside the eastern capital for help.

Li Daozong had besieged the eastern capital for many days, and was shocked to hear that Dou Jiande led an army with a total strength of nearly 500,000 to the south. Leaving 30,000 horses to continue to besiege the eastern capital, he led 100,000 Tang troops to the east to meet Dou Jiande. Li Daozong did this as a last resort, if Yu Wenshi and his troops were defeated, his hundreds of thousands of Tang troops might be surrounded and killed by Dou Jiande's men and horses outside the eastern capital. If Wang Shichong came out of the city again, the Tang army, which was attacked on the back of the enemy, would definitely be defeated.

Therefore, no matter how complicated the relationship with Yan Yunjun was, he could only lead the army to meet Yu Wenshi. After the two joined forces, the strength reached 200,000, and a company camp was set up thirty miles north of Yanshi to prevent Dou Jiande's army from continuing to support the eastern capital.

Dou Jiande relied on his strong troops, divided 100,000 troops to Cao Dan as the commander to attack Dongping County, and within half a month, even the three cities such as Kraze, and the Xia army reached outside Shuibo. However, without warships, it was impossible to attack Juyeze, and the nearby fishing boats had already been included in the village by Yan Yunjun, so Cao Dan had to mobilize the boats used by the Xia army to cross the river into Shuize.

Su Shengcai led the sailors to defeat Cao Dan on the water, sinking more than 200 warships of the Xia army, and beheading tens of thousands of people, Cao Dan was defeated and retreated. On the second day and night, the Yanyun army with 500 students of Yanyunzhai Yanwutang as the main force raided the summer army camp, and 500 tiger chicks led more than 4,000 Yanyun army elites into the summer army camp.

Daxi Changru took the opportunity to lead the army of 16,000 people to chase and kill, the two sides fought sixteen battles on the thirteenth, the Yanyun army won many battles, the elite of the Yanwutang students as the vanguard was like a bamboo, winning sixteen games in a row, and the 100,000 Xia army fled back to the camp when it was less than 20,000 people, and the Yanyun army regained its lost ground.

Dou Jiande scolded Cao Dan, and had to use the general Wang Fubao for the third time, leading an army of 30,000 to resist Daxi Changru, the two sides fought outside the city of Leize, the Xia army formed a formation to defend, and Daxi Changru repeatedly failed to overcome and retreated into the city of Leize. Wang Fubao marched into the army to besiege Leize City, but Daxi Changru could not hold out, and it was still difficult to distinguish the winner after more than ten days of fighting.

Dou Jiande personally commanded the army to attack Yuwenshi and Li Daozong's allied forces, and fought in the opposition. Yu Wenshi and 3,000 light cavalry raided when the Xia army was not completed, the Xia army's position was in chaos, Dou Jiande hurriedly dropped the cavalry to meet the battle, but Li Daozong personally led the Tang army to charge and defeat the left flank, and the Xia army retreated thirty miles to camp.

Li Daozong and Yu Wenshi are each other's horns, if Dou Jiande attacks Li Daozong, Yu Wenshi and send troops to respond. Attacking Yu scribes, Li Daozong will send troops to attack the back of the Xia army, Dou Jiande was overwhelmed by these two people, and he ran back and forth without results.

……

At the beginning of July, Zhang Liang, who stayed behind in Jiangdu, led Du Fuwei's surrendered troops, as well as recruits recruited from Jiangdu counties, totaling 200,000 Jiangnan soldiers, went north, quickly crossed Yishui into Lu County, passed through Lu County, Qi County, and Jibei County, and blocked Dou Jiande's back road in August. Although these 200,000 people are huge, their combat strength is limited with recruits, but with the arrival of such a huge force, where does Dou Jiande still have the heart to fight, so he has to slowly retreat to Hebei.

This was later, when Zhang Liang led the army out of Jiangdu, Xu Shiji's men and horses also arrived outside Chang'an City and joined Li Xian.

160,000 elite soldiers from all walks of life of the Yanyun Army gathered in Chang'an, and the capital of the Tang Dynasty was in danger.

Chang'an City

Tai Chi Palace

The furious Li Yuan slammed the text on the side of Li Xian's Qingjun to the ground, and stepped on it: "I actually raised a wolf these days!" ”

In the name of Li Chengde, the king of Hedong, Li Xian sent a text on the side of the Qing monarch. Li Chengde is the son of the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the grandson of Li Yuan. As a matter of fact, Li Yuan had discovered something wrong since 20 days ago, and since the beginning of March, various localities have asked for instructions on releasing grain for disaster relief, and Hedong County's request for disaster relief came at the end of April.

Li Shimin's rebellion, the assassination of the prince, and the death of the queen occurred one after another, Li Yuan did not have much heart to pay attention to the affairs of Hedong County, but after everything calmed down, the relief of Hedong County was delayed, at the end of May, Li Yuan specially asked Shangshu Zuo servant to shoot Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu carefully checked that there was indeed no Hedong County, Li Yuan immediately sent people to Hedong County to check, but the officials sent out have not returned, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Yanyun Army arrived first.

"Li Chengde!"

Li Yuan's eyes were red and he stared at the text on the ground, and his teeth were clenched extremely tightly.

"My good grandson, my good grandson!"

He repeated these words hatefully, and suddenly remembered that it was his good son who directed this scene, and his face immediately became more gloomy and ugly.

"Pei Lian, you go out of the city and ask Li Chengde, my good grandson wants to clear the side of the king, whether he wants to clear the side or the king! I don't have a traitor villain by my side! Tell him that if he doesn't retreat and go back, I will condemn him to a great crime of rebellion! If it weren't for the Prince...... I'm going to send someone to get rid of this scum right now! ”

"Minister...... Compliance. ”

Pei Lian's face changed, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Your Majesty is really angry, Li Chengde, the king of Hedong, is just a puppet, His Majesty sent me to ask the king of Hedong, but I am afraid that I will not be able to ask why. It's just that Yan King Li Xian's means are really amazing, conquering Hedong County, Feng Yijun can hide the imperial court from such a big thing! With such a lord and such a genius as Xu Shiji, Yanyunzhai is really not to be underestimated.

But after thinking about it again, when did His Majesty, including His Majesty, despise Yanyunzhai?

Even if he was careful and vigilant, he still fell for Li Xian, the king of Yan. No one would have thought that he entered Chang'an alone just to delay time. He actually gambled with his own life, betting that His Majesty would not dare to do anything to him. But there is no doubt that he got the game right.

The rebellion of the King of Qin and the assassination of the crown prince were all used by Li Xian, the king of Yan, who borrowed the power of the world in order to besiege Chang'an today, in order to surround Chang'an so easily and simply. The capital of the Tang Dynasty is so simple that it is surrounded by people. Even Yan Yunjun approached the imperial court within a hundred miles of Chang'an City and found that what was even more sad was that there were not many useful generals in Chang'an City now!

"Spread that Liu Hongji came to the palace to see me!"

Li Yuan waved his hand a little hurriedly and said loudly, "Go now!" ”

Gao Liansheng, who was standing outside the door, dared to delay, and immediately sent someone to Liu Hongji's house.

Yanyun army camp

Li Chengde, the king of Hedong, glanced at Li Xian cautiously, and then smiled flatteringly: "Uncle Huang, this matter is ...... Nephews still don't want to participate, right? ”

"Your father is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the year he has passed is the peak age of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is no surprise that he will be the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty in a few years!"

Li Xian looked at Li Chengde and said in a cold voice: "But he was murdered in Chang'an, and the person who murdered the prince of the Tang Dynasty was still at large at this time." Li Shimin sent someone to assassinate your father, the emperor listened to the slander and not only did not cure Li Shimin's crime, but now he actually recruited Li Shimin back to be crowned the crown prince, as a son of man, how can you bear such a shameful humiliation? Aren't you afraid of nightmares every night?! ”

Li Xian pointed to Chang'an City outside the big tent and said word by word: "Lone is helping you now, helping you get a justice to come back." ”

Li Chengde smiled wryly, and said in his heart, Where did I invite you to administer justice?

Just when he was nervous, Li Xian suddenly asked him a question that caught him off guard: "Do you know why your father's five sons think that you will be able to achieve great things?" Your brothers are all in Chang'an City, why did Lone send someone to pick you up all the way? ”

"Nephew...... Ignorance. ”

Li Chengde said humbly.

"Because the lonely envoy has calculated, you have a ninety-five life."

Li Xian sighed and said, "After all, I have to sit on that chair." ”

Thump!

Li Chengde was so frightened by his words that he fell to the ground, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up anymore.
