"Longxi must not be occupied by Li Xin, and he must be allowed to leave Longxi." Li Yuan said viciously: "We don't have enough time, we must hold off Li Xin." Li Yuan was a little irritable when he thought of this, Li Xin was so powerful Li Yuan had seen it, and he could still block Li Xin in the poor land of Lanzhou before, but now Li Xin is different, he actually occupies Longxi, let him occupy Longxi, and it will have a great impact on Li Yuan's plan. This is something that Li Yuan absolutely cannot allow.

"By July, my father will make up his mind, Li Jing is very powerful in using troops, Li Xin will hand over all the soldiers and horses to him, obviously very relieved to Li Jing, although the Turks are powerful, but they are definitely not Li Jing's opponents, once the Turks are defeated, his army of hundreds of thousands will immediately advance eastward, and our pressure will be great." Although Li Shimin also trained a lot of soldiers and horses, he knew that the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry he trained was not necessarily the opponent of Li Xin's army, after all, his own side was only tens of thousands, and the other party had more than 100,000 people, and the other party was a battle-hardened soldier, very powerful, if it was really against the battlefield, Li Shimin did not have any certainty.

"Is there any news from Xuanba?" Li Yuan did not answer Li Shimin's question, but thought about something else, with the battle between Li Xin and Tuyuhun in the northwest, Li Xin's army was a fierce general, Li Xuanba ranked first, Wei Chigong, Su Dingfang, Guo Xiaoke, etc. ranked last, especially Li Xuanba's pair of giant hammers shook Kyushu, and some people even thought that his martial arts were still above Li Xin. Li Yuan is about to raise troops, and he needs a fierce general like Li Xuanba.

"Xuanba sent someone to say that his illness has not yet recovered, and he is being treated by Sun Simiao, and I am afraid that he will not come back for the time being." Li Jiancheng was silent for a while before he whispered.

After Li Yuan heard this, there was a dark anger in his heart, and there was a cold light in the depths of his eyes. Although Li Jiancheng did not explain, Li Yuan was cunning and cunning. How not to know the meaning of Li Jiancheng's words. Li Xuanba didn't want to come back at all, if he was sick, how could he follow Li Jing across the northwest in the first place. Li Yuan is not good at getting angry, what is hidden in this, it is undoubtedly that the ugliness of the family is not publicized. Li Yuan could only keep his humiliation in his heart.

In the past, maybe he didn't care about Li Xuanba's life or death, but now it's different, Li Xuanba is a fierce general, if he follows his side, he can not only protect his own safety, but also charge into battle. Even Li Xin can't do it, he thought of Li Xin's horror, who can resist the charge. Although he didn't want to see Li Xuanba, for the sake of his own great cause, Li Yuan decided to let Li Xuanba come back, but what he didn't expect was that the former fool now rejected him and found a reason for himself. Doesn't that make him even more annoying?

"Father, don't rush him anymore." Li Shimin said in a low voice. He was jealous and angry. Li Xin is something, but he just married a concubine of the Li family, but Li Xuanba went to help Li Xin. Isn't there a kindness from your own brothers? Li Shimin really wants to have a fierce general like Li Xuanba.

"No, since I don't want to come back. Then don't come back. Li Yuan's face was cold, and he sneered: "Get rid of Li Xuanba's name on the family tree, anyway, Li Xin is also surnamed Li, let him be the Li family's family!" ”

Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing didn't know what to do for a while. Neither standing, nor sitting, and they regret that they shouldn't have listened so much here. What kind of character is Li Xuanba of the Li family, they have also heard about it, and now it seems that there is probably something in this.

"Father, the matter of Longxi must not be taken lightly, we don't know whether the Longshan Trail exists or not, the key is whether Li Xin's army will enter it, this is the most critical." Li Shimin hurriedly changed the topic and said, "There are also Turks who want to remind them." ”

"Nope." Li Yuan thought for a while and said: "The Turks are not a good thing, it is Li Xin who is dealing with now, and it is us who will be dealt with in the future, let Li Xin deal with them first, weaken their strength, and wait for us to calm the world, and then settle accounts with them, and then say whether Li Xin really went to Longshan Trail, no one knows, if not, the Turks still think that we deceived him, and they will definitely make trouble for us." Li Yuan thought about it and decided not to mix it in, in his opinion, Li Xin would never attack the Turks through the so-called Longshan Trail, and occupying Longxi County was Li Xin's real purpose.

Li Yuan himself doesn't like the Turks very much, he can't wait for Li Xin and the Turks to fight to the death, the strength of both sides is about the same, both are 100,000 troops, if Li Xin wants to defeat the other party, he will also suffer countless casualties.

Li Yuan didn't know how many soldiers and horses Li Xin had around him, not only Li Yuan couldn't think of it, but all the people in the Great Sui didn't know how many soldiers and horses Li Xin had, and Li Xin announced that it was an army of 100,000, because in their eyes, the northwest has always been a barren land, although the territory is vast, it is not easy to feed 100,000 troops, let alone raise more troops.

The Turks dared to attack Liangzhou with an army of 100,000 people also had such thoughts, in the eyes of Shibi Khan, although Li Xin was very powerful, but in the end he was young, and his soldiers and horses had only been established for a long time, compared to the elite army of the Great Sui, he sent 100,000 troops, he could definitely defeat Li Xin and force Li Xin to declare himself a vassal, but he didn't find out that things were wrong until he arrived in the northwest. After entering the Great Sui, within a few hundred miles, not a single common person survived, not even a single business trip, which made Du Bi feel a little bad. He saw a lot of abandoned land and houses along the way, but there was not even a single figure.

Fortified Clear.

Du Bi quickly thought of a word for the Han people, and the current situation is the so-called Jianbi Qingye among the Han people. The Han people moved all the qiē in their territory to the big city, so that the enemy could not get any supplies in their own territory. Dubi found that he seemed to have walked into a misunderstanding. In the past, the Turks harassed the Central Plains and plundered a lot of money and people, but that was all in the Central Plains, and now they are in the poor northwest, in fact, like the steppe, there are no people for hundreds of miles. The Turks were also supplied on their own.

When they arrived in Zhangye, they found that the city of Ganzhou had long been built as impregnable, with tens of thousands of soldiers stationed in it, and defensive means such as rolling wood and stones were used one after another, just like a hedgehog, crossing the road of the Turks, so that the other party could not speak. The Turks had no choice in the face of such a fortified city in an instant, the siege itself was not what they were good at, and it was none other than Pei Renji who presided over the defense of Ganzhou, it was Pei Renji who was good at defense, and the Turks were blocked by the other party under the city more than a dozen times in a row, with countless casualties. Let the dubi be helpless.

"Wang Lin, Li Xin, what's going on? Fortified Clear! He looked at the emaciated scholar beside him and said, "We shouldn't attack Zhangye, I'm going to bypass Zhangye and attack the mainland." What do you think? ”

He was ambitious in his heart, thinking that with the 100,000 army and military exploits in his hands, he would inherit the Turkic Khan in the future, and if he failed now, after he went back, he didn't know what fate was waiting for him! Now the attack of several days has killed thousands of Turks, and Zhangye on the opposite side is still standing in front of him, almost unharmed, and he is a little nervous.

"The prince may not." Wang Lin frowned, and said: "If the prince bypasses Zhangye, there are not thousands of people in Zhangye City, but tens of thousands, once we are attacked and obstructed in the city in front, the enemy will immediately pounce, attack inside and outside, and the last unlucky is us, and the farther away from the grassland, the longer our grain route will be, and the greater the threat." ”

Wang Lin is also very depressed, before the Turks invaded the Central Plains, there was no need to bring grain and grass at all, as long as they plundered, in their opinion, this attack on Liangzhou is the same, Liangzhou may be very barren, but there are still a lot of rich people, plus before that, some people say that the current Liangzhou is different from before, very rich, every day there will be many merchants walking on the road, grab some casually, you can also seize some grain and grass.

What he didn't expect was that Li Xin was so vicious, moving all the people near Zhangye, so that the Turks could not get half a grain of grain and grass, and the Turks' armor was sharp, in his imagination, Liangzhou had no chance of resistance at all, but now it seems that Li Xin's soldiers and horses are not easy to resist and attack.

"Then there is only a forcible attack?" Said dissatisfiedly. He faintly regretted that this Li Xin was really a coward, he didn't dare to attack head-on, he just shrank in the city and didn't dare to come out.

"That's all there is to it." Wang Lin nodded, the Turks have taken everything into account, the only one who has not taken into account Li Xinhui is strong and clear, if this kind of strong wall and clear field is placed in the Central Plains, it may not work, the Central Plains is densely populated, no matter how strong the wall is, you can find people. However, in the northwest, the population itself is sparse, and this method is very convenient.

"Damn." Aggressively said loudly: "If we knew this was the case, we shouldn't have taken this errand, let's say!" Mr. Wang, what should we do now? Is it really going to be dragged here by Li Xin? ”

"Zhangye can't do it, let's go to other places, we are all cavalry, we bypass Zhangye and deal with other cities." Wang Lin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Your Highness, we don't have to attack other cities, we go to harass the enemy, forcing Li Jing and them to come out of the city and fight with us in the field." We can't attack the city, but we can't fight in the field. ”

"Not bad." After hearing this, he couldn't help but clap his hands and said: "We will suffer countless casualties in the siege, but in the field, our cavalry can destroy the enemy in front of us. The gentleman is really smart, so he will do what the gentleman says. (To be continued......)
