Chapter 397: Li Yuan's Defeat and Retreat (2)

"That's a big deal." Li Xin didn't expect Li Jiancheng's vision to be so good, in the chaos of the army, he could also see himself, simply because he still had some strength, but these chaos army, after fighting all night, did not have much strength for a long time, and now he is just fighting to survive, as long as he supports it, he will still be the one who wins in the end.

It's just that there are too many people, and many of the guards guarding their side have been stabbed to death by these surging soldiers, and in the chaos of the army, they don't know where the enemy will come from, so they can only kill the one in front of them, and the soldiers under Li Xin's command are all wearing black armor, while Li Yuan's army is white.

Rao is like this, there are too many enemies, and there are fewer and fewer guards around Li Xin, Li Xin finally jumped off his horse, snatched a large knife from the hands of the soldiers who died in battle, held a shield in one hand, charged forward, and slashed the one in front of him.

"Rest hurting my lord." An angry roar came, but he saw the long lance in Wei Chigong's hand fly out, stabbing the soldiers who were blocking in front, and then holding two whips in his hands, he smashed it forward.

"Protect Your Highness." With a loud roar, Cheng Yanjin and others also killed and broke into the chaos, and Li Jing led the cavalry to charge into battle, crushing the qiē in front of him.

"It's a pity." Li Jiancheng knew that the last opportunity was lost, sighed slightly in his heart, led the army, and let some of them fight, while the rest of the army slowly retreated and retreated into the camp.

"General, it's better to take advantage of the chaos to kill in Li Yuan's camp." Guo Xiaoke said loudly. Taking advantage of the chaos to attack the camp is a consistent practice of soldiers. Guo Xiaoke naturally wanted to take the opportunity to make contributions.

Li Jing glanced at Guo Xiaoke, and finally said: "It is important to protect King Tang, this time, we have already won." It's enough for us to occupy Guanzhong. Li Yuan's life should be kept for the time being! ”

"Yes." Guo Xiaoke's face changed, and his eyes showed a look of fear, as a courtier, even if there was a great merit in front of him, if Li Xin was killed. No amount of credit can save my life.

"Brother Jing, if you hadn't led the army to come, I'm afraid I would have capsized in the gutter." Li Xin threw aside the bladed broadsword in his hand and greeted it with a smile. Naturally, it will not capsize in the gutter, but the pro-guard team will suffer heavy losses, that is for sure.

"Your Highness is the lord of an army, the soul of the army, Your Highness has ever thought that your own safety is related to the lives of the soldiers of the three armies, although Your Highness is brave and brave, but anything can happen in the chaotic army, if something happens to Your Highness. How about making me wait? Li Jing said with a cold face. Among Li Xin's martial arts, only Li Jing had the courage to talk to Li Xin like this, and others such as Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui only tactfully persuaded him.

"Yes, yes, what the general said is very true, Li Xinzhi is wrong." Li Xin smiled bitterly, and now that he thinks about it, he is also terrible, although he is powerful. But in the chaotic army, a random arrow can shoot himself, and Sun Ce in the past, if it wasn't for Li Xiuning's subordinates, he showed mercy just now. I'm afraid I'm going to be shot to death. If Li Jing hadn't led the army to arrive, Li Jiancheng would probably have killed himself with the bones of the soldiers under his command.

"Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince, from today. Daxing City is ours. Li Jing happily didn't dwell on this issue anymore, as a courtier, he had something to say. There are some things that can't be said, and there is a degree to what to say, and Li Jing has a good grasp of this. It is no wonder that in history, he can be a great minister, but he can live peacefully, and he has not been feared by Li Shimin throughout his life, which is also his trick to the world.

"From today onwards, change Daxing City to Chang'an." Li Xin thought of the famous name in history, when it comes to the Celestial Empire, no one does not know the Tang Dynasty, and when it comes to the Tang Dynasty, no one does not know Chang'an. Li Xin came to this world, although it was disgusting Li Yuan that made Yang Yu crown himself the king of Tang, but now that he has made a great fortune, he naturally wants to change his name to Chang'an.

"Chang'an, Chang'an." Cheng Yanjin and the others cheered loudly, followed by a cheer from the three armies.

"The general will rectify the soldiers and horses, do his best to exterminate the rebels in the city, Su Dingfang, immediately lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to take over the palace, Guo Xiaoke, lead the people and horses of the headquarters to take over the imperial city, Jingde, Shubao, accompany me into the palace." Li Xin swept over everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Wei Chigong and Qin Qiong, and ordered the two to enter the palace.

"Yes." Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and they all hugged Li Xin from Anfumen to the palace.

Listening to the cheers in the camp outside, Li Yuan's camp was gloomy, the wounded soldiers were lying in the camp, and the faces of the generals were not good-looking. Li Yuan sat at the top, Dugu Huaien sat on the side, and then Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and others. Although I don't know how many soldiers died, but how many generals died is known, Li Jiancheng's general Lei Yongji was killed by Li Xin's own hands, Li Shimin's general Sun Shunde was injured, Tang Jian was killed in battle, as for Li Yuan's general Liu Zhenghui was killed in battle, generals Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong were all injured, and other generals were also killed and wounded, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

"This time it's a lonely mistake." Li Yuan was silent for a while before sighing.

"The prince doesn't have to be like this. Although the final result of this battle was not achieved, our army suffered heavy casualties, and Li Xin was not necessarily much better, and his soldiers and horses did not get more casualties. Liu Wenjing said: "Li Xin is located in Xiliang, and there are very few soldiers and horses, although he occupies Guanzhong now, how many people can he get in Guanzhong, and how many soldiers and horses can he continue to recruit?" The subordinates thought that this time we did not fail. ”

"What Lord Liu said is very true, what if Li Xin occupies Guanzhong? How many soldiers and horses can he have to defend Guanzhong? This time his 100,000 army, at least will lose about 40,000, only 60,000 horses, I am afraid it will be difficult to defend Guanzhong, if you want to replenish the soldiers and horses, hehe, how can there be soldiers and horses to supplement him in the land of Guanzhong? Dugu Huaien nodded and said: "Guanzhong will always be the Guanzhong of our Guanlong family, Li Xin came here, that is, the dragon trapped in the shallows, and in the end he must withdraw from Guanzhong." ”

"Yes, but for now we are concerned about what we are going to do now. Will you continue to stay in Guanzhong, or will you go back to Taiyuan? Pei Lin looked at Liu Wenjing with some dissatisfaction, and his eyes were full of jealousy.

Pei Lian's words instantly made everyone fall into silence, the army still stayed in Guanzhong, that was impossible, Daxing City was easy to break through before, but Li Xin was stationed, with tens of thousands of horses under his command, it was almost impossible to break through. Then the only way left is to go back to Taiyuan, which will be a big blow to Li Yuan's prestige.

"Even if you go back to Taiyuan, you can't be so cheap Li Xin." Liu Wenjing said viciously: "We will move all the people of Sanfu to Bingzhou, see if he has no subordinates, how can he recruit troops." ”

Li Yuan's face moved when he heard this, and he glanced at Li Shimin, but saw Li Shimin shaking his head and said: "Although this idea is very good, Li Xin will not give us time, tomorrow he will organize his troops and horses to attack us, and there is not much time left for us." ”

Li Yuan nodded, everyone fought all night at night, Li Xin couldn't attack himself so quickly, but if he really wanted to move the people of the entire Guanzhong away, it would be impossible, Li Xin would not agree, when the time came, the two sides would still fight, it must be a lose-lose situation, Li Yuan didn't want to see that Li Xin had enemies around him, and the same was true for Li Yuan's side, in his rear, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, and Dou Jiande in Hebei were even more of a big enemy, not to mention, The Turks who are like hungry wolves eyeing the Central Plains. Both sides will lose, and in the end, both sides will perish.

"Father, in a short period of time, we may not be able to attack Guanzhong, I believe that Li Xin does not have the strength to attack Hedong, the child thinks, the first thing we have to do is to return to Hedong, destroy Qu Tutong, occupy Hedong, with Hedong in hand, we can attack Guanzhong at any time; second, destroy Liu Wuzhou and stabilize the rear; Third, attack Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande looks strong, but this person can govern the people, but the army is under his command, there are no famous ministers and fierce generals under his command, destroy Dou Jiande, occupy Hebei and Shandong, Li Xin is not our opponent even if it is related to China, and even Bashu. "The most terrifying thing about Li Shimin is that he can calm down at any time, and in an unfavorable situation, he can quickly find the enemy's loopholes and find the direction in which he is going.

"If it is possible, the child thinks that except for the Dugu family, the rest of the family can stay in Guanzhong." Li Jiancheng also spoke.

Li Yuan's face lit up after hearing this, and he looked at Dugu Huaien, he knew the meaning of his eldest son's leaving these families in Guanzhong, on the one hand, to provide information for himself, and secondly, to sabotage Li Xin's construction in Guanzhong, but in the same way, there were also many dangers.

"I think this building is very good." Dugu Huaien also knows the risks involved, but only in this way can the Guan Long family get more benefits, whether it is in Li Yuan or Li Xin, at least they can bet on both sides, and most of the big families are like this, as if the Pei family is like this.

"Okay, the army will rest and recuperate, and we will leave tomorrow, and we will return to Hedong, and Guanzhong will be temporarily ceded to Li Xin." Li Jing glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Li Xiuning and said: "Sanniang, you are the messenger, wait to see Li Xin, tell him, the two tigers fight, it must be a defeat for both sides, I decided to let out of the Guanzhong, within three years, I will definitely not enter the Guanzhong." ”

"Yes, father." Li Xiuning said calmly. She could see Li Yuan's dissatisfaction with herself, so she could only continue to say this.

"If you have time, you can let Siniang go back to Bingzhou to have a look. There are strife in the world, and for our son-in-law, others are the enemy. Li Yuan was silent for a long time before he said to Li Xiuning. Of course, no one believes these words. (To be continued......)
