"Sheng Yanshi is a bad and lonely thing!"
Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and now it was no longer a matter of investigating how Xuanyuan Pass was captured. As soon as Xuanyuan Pass was lost, the men and horses of the Zhao army in Xuanyuan Pass could go north at any time to cut off the Yanshi's retreat, or go straight to Luoyang. Although it is not clear the specific strength of the Zhao army at Xuanyuan Pass, it is impossible for Li Shimin to continue to defend in Yanshi.
Li Shimin looked at the way of the Tiger Prison Pass, and said resolutely: "Withdraw the troops to Luoyang City, and join the army of King Qi and Qu Tutong!" ”
Since there is nothing to do, then simply withdraw from the army, and never drag the mud and water. Li Shimin thought this through and made a decision.
"So what about Zheng Jun who is trapped here?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.
Li Shimin said lightly: "They are Li Chongjiu's abandoned sons, it is useless to kill them, withdraw the siege and withdraw the army!" ”
Immediately, the Tang army began to retreat, and in the Yanshi city, the county order, and the county lieutenant saw the Tang army withdrawing, and they all went out and begged: "We will turn our backs on Zheng and surrender to Tang, this matter will be angry with Wang Shichong, and now that the Tang army is retreating, we will be killed by Wang Shichong, and I beg the King of Qin to have mercy!" ”
Li Shimin said warmly: "The county orders you to rest assured, you will withdraw with our army!" ”
The county order and the county lieutenant are all overjoyed, and his heart is really His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a generous person: "Thank you King Qin, but the squires and people in the city ......"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "The rest of the orphans can't take care of so much." ”
Half a day later, Li Chongjiu's handsome banner appeared in Yanshi City.
There was a raging fire burning on the head of Yanshi City, and it was obvious that after Li Tang's army withdrew from Yanshi, he set fire to the city and did not leave it to the Zhao army. Outside the city of Yanshi were refugees with nowhere to return, thousands in number, wailing all over the wilderness.
When Li Chongjiu saw it, he ordered Wei Zheng to take out military rations to appease the people, Ji Chuan said: "Our army's grain ship has not yet arrived, and now the grain will be distributed to the people, how can our army march into Luoyang?" ”
Li Chongjiu glanced at Ji Chuan and said, "I don't spare food and grass, but to gain fame!" ”
Between words. Wang Xuanying, Du Yan, eldest grandson Shi'an and others came to see Li Chongjiu in a hurry. Wang Xuanying's hair was in chaos, and when he saw Li Chongjiu, he grabbed Li Chongjiu's horse and cried.
Du Yan also wept and said: "I regret not listening to His Majesty's words, we can hardly save our lives." ”
Li Chongjiu said: "It's good to wait for peace and soundness, I didn't expect Li Shimin to be ambushed by Yanshi, it was my fault." ”
Wang Xuanying. Du Yan and the eldest grandson Shi'an were all ashamed, but Li Chongjiu was comforting them, and Zhang Xuansu said on the side: "The three of you don't have to be discouraged, our army has broken through the Xuanyuan Pass, and now the two roads will see you together." The siege of Luoyang can be solved, and Zheng Guo has nothing to do. ”
After hearing this, the three of them recovered a little from the shadow of the defeat.
And after the people of Yanshi received the military rations of the Zhao army, thousands of people were grateful. The army of Zhao took advantage of the situation and headed towards Luoyang.
After Yanshi, the last barrier in Luoyang is gone, and below is the wide Heluo Plain. Back then, Zhou Gong ran Luoyi and described this place: "In this world. The Quartet paid tribute, and the road was even. ”
Since ancient times, it has risen and fallen. It must depend on the Central Plains.
Heluo Plain, in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there are rivers, Luo, Yi three rivers vertical and horizontal, after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Zhou royal family, placed Sanchuan County here.
After Yang Guang became emperor, he listened to the words of Xiangshi Yu Jicai and moved the capital Chang'an to Luoyang. Later, Yang Guang led more than 100,000 Xiaoguo troops south to the south of the Yangtze River, and when he left Luoyang, he wrote poems to the women who stayed in Luoyang. My dreams are good, and the expedition to Liao is also accidental. But the color is there, and the parting is only this year. In the end, Yang Guang left the Eastern Capital and never returned.
In order to take the world, Li Mi fought several battles under the city of Luoyang, but in the end he failed under the city of Yanshi. After Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, he could have followed Cao Cao and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the world. But his reputation was not enough, and as a warlord of the Hu people in the Western Regions, he was rejected by the ministers of the Luoyang Shi clan, so he seized power with soldiers. Forcibly stealing the throne.
But unexpectedly, they were betrayed by the people, and as soon as Li Tang's army came out of the pass, the surrounding states and counties of Luoyang surrendered without a fight. After Li Tang swept the surroundings of Luoyang, Li Shimin led a large army to besiege Luoyang, hoping to overcome it in a battle, but in the end it fell short.
Now the majestic city of Luoyang City is in Li Chongjiu's eyes, and in the distance is the rolling mountain. Under the Luoyang City, Yishui flows, these three rivers converge, Yishui leads directly to the Yellow River, and it is also the starting point of the Grand Canal. In the past, when the Great Sui built the capital in Luoyang, Shangting Palace and Hualin Garden were built in the east of the city, but after Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought here, the palaces in the past were all made of earth.
Li Chongjiu stationed on the hillside, Yishui passed by, Zhao Jun paved the road and built a bridge to cross Yishui, the Heluo Plain was full of red Zhao army battle flags, Zhao soldiers and soldiers were full of spirit, side by side, people and horses seemed to be a rising tide.
Li Chongjiu has a lot of thoughts, when he was young, he was wanted by Yin Kaishan, thousands of miles of exile to Luoyang, at that time he was penniless, just came to Luoyang to see the weather of the royal capital, and today Li Chongjiu is already an emperor, carrying an army of 100,000 and then to Luoyang, thinking of the past, Princess Changle has been his wife, and the dignified King Qi is his brother-in-law, and when Eguan Bo belt, Li Mi, who talked and laughed with himself, was already an ancient, and Li Zhiwan, who was smiling and smiling in the past, can never be seen again.
Just like flowing water, time flies, and today, ten years later, things are already wrong.
"Your Majesty, Luoyang has arrived, and the Tang army besieging Luoyang City has retreated westward."
"Got it, probe again!"
"Your Majesty, our forward cavalry has crossed Luoshui, under the walls of Luoyang City."
"Stay put!"
"Your Majesty, the Shangchun Gate of Luoyang is closed. Zheng Jun did not move. ”
Ahead of the horse all the way back.
Hearing that Luoyang's Shangchun Gate was closed, Li Chongjiu frowned slightly, turned his head to Wang Xuanying, and Du Yan smiled and said, "King Zheng, this is not a way of hospitality!" ”
Du Yan smiled awkwardly: "Luoyang has just fought fiercely, and the city is ruined, and it is difficult to wait for His Majesty. ”
Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this, and didn't say anything to worry about, while Du Yan wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead.
And on the Shangchun Gate in the east of Luoyang City, Wang Shichong looked to the east of the city, but saw the cavalry of the front army of the Zhao army galloping along the Luoyang and Yi two waters, galloping forward, the men and horses were like dragons, and the main infantry army of the Zhao army behind him was all over the mountains, the banners were displayed, and the soldiers were all freshly dressed and angry.
Wang Shichong has been a general for many years, and he is best at seeing the strength and weakness of the army from the march of the army, but seeing the march of the Zhao army, it is really soaked in cold sweat behind his back.
Wang Shichong pressed his hand on the battlements and said: "It is said that Yan Zhao's elite soldiers are the heroes of the world, and it is true to see them today." With such a male soldier, it is no wonder that Li Chongjiu dared to compete with Li Yuan's father and son! ”
Duan Dadao, the general on the side: "I thought that the Zhao army and the Tang army would fight under the Tiger Prison Pass, and both sides would be defeated, but I didn't expect that Li Chongjiu's troops would surrender without a fight, and almost no soldiers were used, that is, Li Shimin was ordered to give up the Tiger Prison Pass, this kind of heroic strategy is really terrifying." Your Majesty, Zhao Jun can't do it. ”
Wang Shichong sighed: "I'm worried that the front door will go to the tiger, and the back door will go to the wolf." ”
