"The last general is incompetent and has not taken the Tiger Prison Pass, please punish His Highness." Under the tiger prison, Li Shimin led the army into Xu Shiji's big tent, Xu Shiji fell to the ground and said with a gloomy face.

"It's not the general's fault, please get up." Li Shimin stepped forward to help Xu Shiji up, and said: "Li Jing who we can see can definitely see it, even farther than we can see, it is normal for him to pay attention to the Tiger Prison Pass, but I didn't expect Wang Shichong's subordinates to be so incompetent that they didn't even hold the Tiger Prison Pass." It's disgusting. How many people are there in Tiger Prison? ”

"There should be about 10,000. The general who led the army should be Pei Yuanqing. Xu Shiji was very uncomfortable in his heart, although Li Shimin did not blame himself, but this time after all, he was defeated, and he was defeated by Li Jing's men, what kind of person is Li Jing, even Li Shimin has to admit the strength of this person, but Xu Shiji is a little unconvinced, but he didn't expect that Li Jing quickly gave himself a little and sent Pei Yuanqing to occupy the Tiger Prison Pass, which made Li Shimin's plan to rescue Wang Shichong aborted.

"Pei Renji's son Pei Yuanqing is a brave general, if he can't get out of the Tiger Prison Pass, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to attack the Tiger Prison Pass." Li Shimin's face was gloomy, this kind of thing of being taken first by the enemy is really unacceptable, and more importantly, he can no longer support Wang Shichong, Luoyang, where Wang Shichong is located, has become a lonely city, losing the lifeline of the Tiger Prison Pass, the grain and grass outside Luoyang City cannot be transported to Luoyang, Luoyang may not be able to support it for long, this is definitely not good news for Li Shimin.

"Yes! King Qin, at the moment, I am afraid that we can only recover the city east of Xingyang. Xu Shiji said with annoyance. It's all because of their own marching that is a step slower, otherwise, how could there be such a thing.

"East of Xingyang, I'm afraid the place is not so easy to recover." Li Shimin said with a wry smile: "Originally, I thought that sitting in the Tiger Prison Pass, on the one hand, could contain Li Xin and Li Jing, and on the other hand, I could easily recover the city east of Xingyang, but now the Tiger Prison Pass is lost." Falling into the hands of Li Jing, Xingyang, hehe, Wei Lu These people are not so easy to deal with. ”

"With the Zheng family in Xingyang, are you still afraid that Wei Lu will not succeed?" Hou Junji said indifferently.

There are 20,000 soldiers and horses in Xingyang, although it doesn't seem to be much, but Xingyang City is high and deep, and it is rumored that Wang Shichong is in order to guard against Xingyang Zheng's family, and there are very few Xingyang people in the 20,000-strong army, who makes Xingyang Zheng's too strong. As for whether the Zheng family in Xingyang can affect Wei Lu. Then no one knows.

"The Duke of Xingyang County has entered the city, and we can only wait for the news of the Duke of Xingyang County now." Li Shimin nodded, the Duke of Xingyang County refers to Zheng Shanguo, after Li Shimin got married, he was named the Duke of Xingyang County by Li Zhao, and truly became the representative of Li Zhao in the Kanto family. It's just that whether Zheng Shanguo can persuade Wei Lu to surrender, Li Shimin is not sure.

"Xingyang Zheng's power shocked the Kanto, how many years have been intertwined in Xingyang, although Wei Lu has elite soldiers in hand. If you want to deal with the Zheng family, I'm afraid it's still a little worse. Xu Shiji said.

"It's better to ask for others than for yourself, as long as the matter in Hedong is successful, Li Xin has only one way to withdraw his troops." Li Shimin thought about the matter in Hedong. The face is much better, and the battle of Hedong at this time may have begun. I don't know how long the 50,000-strong Hedong can resist the 100,000-strong Turkic army.

Just what surprised him was that according to the ability of Jin Yiwei. I am afraid that the news of the Turkic attack on Hedong has reached Li Xin, why did Li Xin not react at all, and still stationed the army in Henan. Has he given up on Hedong? Li Shimin had a bad feeling in his heart.

Outside the city of Hedong. All kinds of cursing shook the sky, outside the city, the white tent covered the sky and the sun, the military flag was displayed, and there were a lot of cattle and sheep scattered during the period, this is the camp of the Turks, different from the Han people in the Central Plains, when the Turks went out to fight, they would bring some cattle and sheep, on the one hand, to prevent the army from lacking food and grass, replace them with these cattle and sheep, and secondly, the Turks are carnivores, and what they like to eat is cattle and sheep.

In the face of the tall Hedong City, Chebi He Li and Ashina Simo did not have any worry on their faces, in the past, when the Turks went south, when they encountered such a city, the most likely thing was to lead the army to leave, bypassing this fortified city, or to buy the Han people inside, to open the city from the inside, they would not use the lives of their warriors to open the city, but now it is different, they not only made siege vehicles, ladders, stone throwers, Mobile siege towers and other siege equipment, these Turks have almost mastered it, which is also thanks to Li Shimin and others. Of course, it is more about the siege ideas of Li Shimin and others.

Maybe these things can only be mastered after a long period of actual combat, but Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo are Turkic people who are very rare to use soldiers, as long as they are given time, they can master more of the essence of the Central Plains war.

"Fortunately, the general has cut down almost all the trees near Hedong City, if there are still trees in this vicinity, I am afraid that these Turks will soon be able to make all kinds of siege equipment." Duan Decao said with some concern.

"It's all that Li Shimin, if it weren't for him, how could the Turks make so many siege machines?" Duan Zhiming snorted coldly, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not counting that these Turks have harmed Hebei, and now they still want to harm our Hedong, it's really hateful." ”

"Is there any news from Mr. Shum?" Su Dingfang asked. Relying exclusively on his own army of 50,000, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Turks, but if you add the 70,000 army of Dou Hongxian, then it may be possible.

"There has been news that Mr. Cen is now appearing in the mountains east of Hedong City, just 70,000 troops, and people eat horses and chew horses, which is a huge number. Although Xianghou got a lot of gold and silver treasures, there was not much grain and grass. Duan Decao said with some concern: "I'm afraid we need some support, or rather, we must defeat the Turks in a very short time." ”

"Let Jinyiwei figure out a way, our task is to drag the Turks. Mr. Cen's mission is to defeat the army of Qu Tutong behind him. Su Dingfang stopped: "The more we store grain and grass, the longer it will be supported, so that we will have more opportunities." Just because of a small Turk, all our details cannot be exposed. Mr. Cen's army of 70,000 could only be killed at the last moment, giving Li Zhao the most fatal blow. ”

"This?" Duan Decao hesitated for a while, in the deep mountains, he didn't know how much food he consumed every day, could these Dou red lines support it? Looking at this, Su Dingfang is ready to use his 50,000 men to resist the attack of 100,000 people, which is a rather bold suggestion, if you don't get the 50,000 army, you will lose everything, and Su Dingfang himself will be punished.

"Do you think Mr. Cen really doesn't have any grain and grass there? You're underestimating those big families. Su Dingfang said disdainfully: "Tell you!" The Li family of Zhaojun has always wanted to join the command of the prime minister, introduce the prime minister into the ancestral hall of the Li family of Zhaojun, and turn the ancestral hall into a temple. Hehe, at this time, if you don't use dim sum, the prime minister will accept them in the future? If those wealthy families in Pingthorn don't have some blood, how can they easily get high-ranking officials? ”

"Let those big families produce food?" Duan Decao looked at Su Dingfang in surprise, he didn't expect Su Dingfang to come up with this method, it is conceivable that Zhao Junli, one of the five surnames and seven wangs, although he lost his base camp, there are still a lot of hidden forces in the family, and the grain and grass of the 70,000 army cannot be obtained by others, which does not mean that Zhao Junli cannot get it.

"If you want to turn the ancestral hall into a temple, it depends on whether the Li family of Zhaojun has this awareness." Su Dingfang said disdainfully: "I don't come out of anything, I just think about being crowned king, where is there such an easy thing, the country is beaten down by the prime minister, not the Li family of Zhaojun." If you want to take advantage, you have to pay the price. Su Dingfang's expression was indifferent, looking at the Turkic camp under the city, as if it were cold ice.

?“ Then the general will send someone to tell Mr. Cen and let Mr. Cen figure it out by himself. Duan Decao hurriedly said.

"There is also Pujindu, send someone to tell the defenders of Pujindu, in the near future, get rid of the grain trucks in the pass, otherwise, no one or vehicle shall pass through Pujindu, within a hundred miles of Pujindu, set up bright and dark sentinels, put fire oil on the Pujindu Bridge, once there is a Turkic cavalry collision, Pujindu must be burned immediately." Su Ding's face was grim and said loudly.

"Yes." Duan Decao did not object this time, Pujindu is an important bridge to connect Guanzhong, and I don't know how many business trips have come and gone in the past, but now it is okay, once the Turks break into Guanzhong through Pujindu, Guanzhong will be invaded by the Turks, such a responsibility is not something that Duan Decao and others can bear. It is rumored that several scholars in the Wude Hall once suggested that they withdraw to Hedong and burn Pujindu, so as not to let the Turks enter Guanzhong through Pujindu, causing Guanzhong to shake, and finally it was because of Pei Lao's words that it stopped.

"Let people lay an ambush in a few urns under the city, and let the quick-witted ones listen there." Su Dingfang also instructed: "From today on, the grain in the city will be under military control, and all the grain and grass of the merchants and families must be reported on the figures, and those who dare to hoard the strange people will destroy the three tribes, and once the food in the city is tight, they will begin to collect grain from these people, anyway, the court is rich, and it will be returned to them according to the original price in the future, and anyone who refuses to levy grain from our army will be punished for colluding with foreign enemies and rebellion." Su Dingfang's eyes were fierce, flashing with murderous intent, for the defense of Hedong this time, he was ruthless. Duan Decao's face on the side also changed, and cold sweat flowed behind his back, this guy is also a killer. (To be continued......)
