"Send someone to Chang'an, immediately look for Dao Du Ruhui, and tell him that Luoyang can't support it for long." On the city wall, Wang Shichong looked at the camp under the city with a tired face, and said to Wang Xuanying beside him.

These days, Li Shimin seems to have gone crazy, launched a crazy attack on Luoyang City, Wang Shichong is not only under great pressure on food and grass, but also the soldiers in the army, the soldiers have suffered heavy losses, Wang Shichong is really afraid that Li Shimin broke through Luoyang's defense at once. So he desperately needed Li Xin to come to the rescue.

"Father, Li Xin hasn't sent troops at this time, so he doesn't want to get anything from us!" Wang Xuanying said with some dissatisfaction.

Wang Shichong showed a trace of annoyance in the depths of his eyes, and finally shook his head and said: "No, Li Xin hates Li Shimin more than us, he hasn't appeared yet, but it's just to weaken us, he needs us to deal with the Kwantung family, he won't move us before he captures Bashu, before he completely defeats Li Yuan, once he moves us, he will have to face Dou Jiande and the Kwantung family, at this time, there is no such force." But he doesn't want our Luoyang to have the strength to compete with him. ”

"So where is he now? Not long ago, someone said that he was leaving the palace in Lishan and was with his woman! Wang Xuanying snorted coldly, he was fighting bravely here, but Li Xin was enjoying himself in the palace, which made him very unbalanced.

"Li Xin is a generation of heroes, how can a woman restrain him, look at it! At this time, Li Xin couldn't figure out where he was, thinking about dealing with Li Shimin! Wang Shichong glared at his son dissatisfied, but he knew that Wang Xuan had a lot of needs for women. This also made him a little dissatisfied.

"Son, let people go to Chang'an, and let Li Xin send troops quickly." Wang Xuanying understood the meaning in his father's eyes, and did not dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went down and arranged for someone to go to Chang'an without mentioning it.

Lantian in Chang'an, this is one of Li Xin's two training camps, and Lantian in the dark night is like a giant beast lurking on the earth. The gate of the Lantian camp opened, and countless soldiers walked slowly, holding torches high and heading north.

"Prime Minister, the army has set off." In the big tent, Su Dingfang respectfully reported to Li Xinyu, and behind him, the three brothers Rao Junsu, Duan Zhijie, Duan Zhihao, and Duan Zhiming were also listed.

"Let's go! Let's go to meet Qu Tutong, hey, how powerful Qu Tutong was back then, he was an old minister of the Great Sui Dynasty, but now he has betrayed the court. took refuge in Li Yuan. Ay! Li Xin stood up and said with a slight regret.

Don't care about anything else, everyone's ideals are different, Qu Tutong thinks that he is right, Li Xin will not say anything, he is now in Hedong, and he doesn't really want to attack Hedong, he just wants Li Shimin to think that his goal is in Hedong, as for Wuguan, Wei Chigong has gathered 30,000 elite troops. These soldiers and horses are different from Hongnong's army, although Hongnong has 20,000 people, they are all new soldiers, which is why Li Xin did not let Pei Xingjian send troops. really fighting, Pei Xingjian may not be Li Yuanji's opponent, on the Eastern Front, Li Xin has always been defense-oriented. Even the 20,000 troops in the Lantian battalion are all recruits. Recruits who haven't been on the battlefield yet.

The army marched slowly, above the official road. Li Xin's Daxu did not fight, but it was Su Dingfang's banner, the banner covered the sky and the sun, and the entire Guanzhong shook and shook instantly, and everyone knew that Li Xin was the only one who could secretly mobilize the army to go out. Now that Su Dingfang is leading the army, it means that Li Xin has already made a move, and for a while, all kinds of intelligence have come out of Chang'an and flew in all directions.

Hedong County, Qu Tutong's life glory and disgrace seem to be in this place, from the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, he was stationed in Hedong, guarding the Beijing Division, and later took refuge in Da Zhao, the same, sitting in Hedong, eyeing Guanzhong, but he did not attack Guanzhong, but now it is different, he received information that Li Tang led Su Dingfang to lead 20,000 troops to kill him.

"Go to the Son of Heaven and ask the Son of Heaven for help." Qu Tutong said to the soldiers around him.

"Father, why do you ask for help to the Son of Heaven, Su Dingfang is only 20,000 people, and we also have 20,000 people, and we are afraid that Su Dingfang will not succeed?" Qu Tushou said with some unconvincing.

"What if Li Xin comes in person?" Qu Tutong said lightly: "Encircling Wei to save Zhao, this is the measure taken by Li Xin against the King of Qin, and it is also the simplest, most direct and effective method. ”

"Father is saying that Li Xin has come." Qu Tushou was a little nervous, Li Xin was a dark cloud hanging over the heads of people in this era, and no one could avoid him.

"Father, let's wait for Li Xin's Daxu to appear, but I still have to tell the emperor and King Qin about the 20,000 army attacking Hedong." Qu Tushou thought for a while and said. He was worried that Li Xin did not come, which would make his father and son passive.

Qu Tutong thought about it and nodded, although he was very sure that Li Xin would lead the army to come, but the significance of sending the army and personally leading the army was not the same, if Li Xin personally led the army, it meant that Li Xin's ambition for Hedong, whether it was Li Yuan or Li Shimin, would not allow Li Xin to occupy Hedong, and there must be some military action, if it was just to send other generals to come, Qu Tutong would also relax a lot.

On the third day, after Li Tang's army crossed the Yellow River, he suddenly hit Li Xin's Chinese army, and the whole Hedong was in an uproar, and Li Xin personally led the army to come, which meant that the tiger was coming, and the whole Hedong was shaken, Qu Tutong hurriedly ordered someone to send a message to Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and he stepped up the defense of Hedong City.

"Where's Qu Tutong?" Under the city wall in the east of the river, Li Xin led the guards to look at the city wall and said loudly: "The old man Li Xin asked to see the old general Qu Tu, and asked the old general to come forward to see him. ”

"Father, Li Xin is cunning and can't see him." Qu Tushou looked at Qu Tutong with a painful look on his face, and said nervously.

"Hey, sooner or later, we're going to see each other." Qu Tutong looked at Li Xin below through the battlements of the city wall, and Li Xin, who was high-spirited back then, must have felt that Li Xin now has more majesty, and the bearing on his body is not comparable to Li Yuan in Jinyang, and his heart is slightly bitter.

"His Royal Highness the Tang King, Qu Tutong is reasonable." Qu Tutong arched his hand and said.

"Today is just to talk about the past, Li Xin saw the old general's body Kangtai, and his heart was much more relieved, now you and I are both enemies and me, I, Li Xin, led the army to seize Hedong, old general, this king will not care about the past." Li Xin nodded at Qu Tutong, then turned around and pulled out his horse and left.

"He's really here." Qu Tutong's face showed a complicated look, Li Xin was undoubtedly affectionate and righteous, although the two sides belonged to the enemy, but before the battle, they came to greet him, which made Qu Tutong extremely moved in his heart.

"Father, what shall we do now? I don't think Li Xin will attack so quickly in a short time. Qu Tushou suddenly looked at the big camp in the distance and said, "Father, you see, Li Xin's way of setting up a big camp is different from ours, and this speed seems to be very fast. ”

"Quick, it's okay, just want to know how big the camp will be for him." Qu Tutong did not look at the speed of the opponent's camp, but at the scale of the opponent's camp.

"Father, do you want to send someone to harass them?" Qu Tutong eye rolling.

Qu Tu looked at his son like an idiot, and said: "In today's world, except for Li Xuanba, who would dare to fight with Li Xin?" The cavalry under his command is so powerful, even the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is not his opponent, do you think the martial arts of you and my father and son can compare to Li Xin? Qu Tushou's face turned slightly red after hearing this, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

"Let's go! Get ready for tomorrow's battle! I believe that Li Xin will launch an attack tomorrow. Qu Tutong looked at the big camp in the distance, sighed slightly, he knew that the main battlefield of the war in the future will appear in the east of the river, Li Xin is backed by the Pujin Bridge, the transportation of grain and grass is very convenient, and the Guanzhong camp is behind, there is no problem with grain and grass at all, this is also a protracted war.

The next day, Qu Tutong was woken up by his son, which made Qu Tutong very impatient, Li Xin personally led the army to kill, which made Qu Tutong unable to sleep at night, who let Li Xin put too much pressure on him, and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, and before two hours, his son came up again.

"What's going on?" Qu Tutong's face was not good-looking.

"Li Xin's soldiers and horses are here again, 10,000 troops. The banner is a paragraph. Qu Tushou said with some concern.

"It looks like it's a big battle, go and see his camp." Qu Tutong was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed, put on a casual dress, and walked out of his mansion, rushing towards the city wall, and when he arrived at the city wall, he found a dense black tent in front of him.

"This is a camp of 60,000 men." Qu Tutong's face changed, the military camp in front of him was a military camp that could accommodate 60,000 people, as the enemy, Qu Tu informed Li Xin that there were many soldiers and horses, but most of them were elite soldiers, and the army of 60,000 people was already very strong, which showed that Li Xin was ready to take Hedong in a battle.

"Quick, quick, report to the Son of Heaven and the King of Qin." Qu Tutong didn't dare to slack off this time, and sent a distress letter again, 20,000 people may be able to resist and keep Hedong, but 60,000 Qu Tutong doesn't have the ability.

Sure enough, in the next few days, every morning 10,000 soldiers and horses came, and they disappeared into the black camp, where every day there was a shout of killing, and countless soldiers were drilling. By the end of the fourth day, the army of 60,000 had finally been assembled. Qu Tutong's father and son were also anxious to jump to their feet, not knowing what to do in the face of such a situation, fortunately, Li Xin did not command the army to attack the city, probably to attract more people to Hedong. That's the case, Qu Tutong still sent letters for help from Jinyang and Luoyang every day, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. (To be continued......)
