The brick road from Hedong to Jaeyang was not built, and the 50,000 Sui army finally arrived at the city of Jaeyang after a day's march.

"Reinforcements are coming!"

Bursts of cheers erupted in the city of Jayang, and the defenders of Jawyang couldn't help but feel greatly boosted when they saw the dense army under the city.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King!" Immediately there was a strong news came, all the soldiers were excited, and now in the Daxing army, the prestige of the acting king Yang Yu can be said to be in full swing.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness!" The 20,000 army shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

The south gate of Jaeyang City suddenly opened, and 50,000 troops entered Jawyang City.

At this point, in the city of Jayang, the strength of the Daxing army has reached 70,000, and the strength is far superior to that of the Tang army.

In the Yazhong of Jaw County, Yang Yu took the lead in sitting in the main seat.

"See His Royal Highness the Acting King!" Yao Junsu saluted excitedly, when he received the secret report that His Royal Highness the Acting King was personally recruited, it was also incredible, and now seeing His Royal Highness the Acting King standing in front of him, as if in a dream, this was too unexpected.

"General Yao has worked hard! In this battle, General Yao defended Jawyang, which was a great achievement. "Yang Yu helped Yao Junsu, in this era, it is too rare to be able to find a person who is loyal to the Sui Dynasty, and Yao Junsu is one of them.

"This is the duty of the last general, and I dare not be greedy for merit." Yao Junsu said modestly.

"Where is the Li Thief army at the moment?" Yang Yu asked.

"His Royal Highness the Acting King, after Li Thief got the news that His Royal Highness the Acting King led an army of 50,000, the Tang army had already retreated. According to the spies' report, now the Tang army has retreated to Hancheng. Yao Junsu said.

"Okay, now Li Yuan only has one lonely city, and the day of defeat is not far away." Yang Yu said excitedly.

"In this battle, I will win the city." The Yin World Master said with confidence.

"Okay, give an order to the three armies, and order all the soldiers of the army to recharge their strength and choose a day for a decisive battle!" Yang Yu ordered.

"Yes!" Yao Junsu, Yin Shishishi, and Li Jing, who had been silent, responded.

………………

In Hancheng, a panic pervaded.

The Sui army came with 50,000 reinforcements, plus the original 20,000 troops in Jayang City. An army of 70,000 has been gathered in the entire Jaw Yang City. And the Tang army was only about 30,000 when it was full.

70,000 versus 30,000, this gap in strength is a bit big.

In the Yazhong of Hancheng County, the father and son of the Li family sat together with a heavy face.

Li Yuan couldn't believe it: "Why did the Sui army come so quickly? ”

The Tang army had only crossed the river for three days. Reinforcements from Daxing City appeared in front of him.

According to Li Yuan's original estimate. The Tang army suddenly crossed the Yellow River. It took two days for the news to reach Daxing City, five days for Daxing City to prepare for sending troops, and at least three days to come from Daxing City to Fengyi County. The Don Army had a buffer period of at least ten days.

In these ten days, the Tang army was enough to sweep through the entire Fengyi County, leaving a room for maneuver.

Li Yuan had only crossed the river for three days, and 50,000 Sui troops appeared under the city of Jawyang, which made all Li Yuan's plans shattered.

At this moment, Tang Jun's position will be extremely awkward. The original surprise attack plan all failed, occupying only one Han Cheng in the city, but instead put itself in danger, it was simply stealing chickens and rice.

"Father, the situation is not good now, our army is only about 30,000, and in Jayang City, there are 70,000 elite Tang troops, and now the soldiers are panicking, and their morale has dropped greatly!" Li Shimin said with a sad face.

"Father, why don't we retreat! Otherwise, it will only be a dead end. Li Jiancheng suggested, he thought that since the surprise attack had failed, it was useless to hold on.

Li Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The distance between Jaw Yang and Hancheng is only fifty miles. If I wait for a rash retreat, the Sui army will definitely pursue, and it will take at least one day for our army to cross the Yellow River, and one day is enough time for the cavalry of the Sui army to catch up, and now I am afraid that it will not be able to retreat. Li Yuan smiled bitterly.

Li Yuan can't retreat, and he doesn't want to retreat, now he finally crossed the Yellow River and attacked Guanzhong, the prosperous and wealthy Guanzhong is in front of him, if he retreats away like this, I'm afraid there will be no chance, not to mention that he still has a back hand that has not been used.

"Qi Tang Gong, there is a secret letter sent here!" Yin Kaishan entered the room and handed over a secret letter.

Li Yuan took it, opened it and took a look, and suddenly swept away the previous depression and laughed, his expression was extremely excited.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuan suspiciously, not understanding why Li Yuan, who was still frowning just now, suddenly had such a big change.

"Father, what did the secret letter say!" Li Jiancheng asked curiously, and Li Shimin also listened attentively.

Li Yuan said with an excited expression on his face: "There is a secret report from Daxing City that the army stationed in Jawyang today is the personal expedition of His Royal Highness the Acting King!" ”

"On behalf of the prince?" Li Shimin exclaimed.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng took the secret letter, read it carefully, and couldn't help but show joy on their faces.

"Father, this is a godsend." Li Jiancheng said with great joy.

Acting King Yang Yu is a banner in Guanzhong, the achievement of Guanzhong's great foundation, the reputation of the King of Benevolence is all over the world, as long as this battle defeats the opposite Sui army, the acting king is in his own hands, the foundation of Guanzhong is at your fingertips.

Li Yuan's father and son glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but look excited.

"Don't take it lightly, although the Sui army is on behalf of the prince this time, but the Yin Shi Shi accompanied him as the deputy marshal, if you want to defeat the Sui army, I am afraid you will have to pass the Yin Shi Division." Li Yuan said cautiously.

"Netherworld?" Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's faces were solemn.

During the previous Yan'an War, the Yin Shishi defeated the Liang Shidu and the Turkic coalition army head-on, and his reputation was great, and when he heard the Yin Shishi accompanying him, everyone dared not underestimate it.

"But our army is only 30,000, and the Sui army is nearly 70,000 strong, I'm afraid it won't be easy to win!" Li Shimin said worriedly.

The beautiful scenery is good, but if the difference in strength is too big, it is just the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, and they will be put on themselves if they are not careful.

Li Yuan showed a smug expression when he heard this, and said, "My father has already secretly ordered Zhang Lun to lead an army of 15,000 to cross the Yellow River from Hukou, and the time should be now." ”

"Father, Wise!" The two brothers Li Shimin sincerely admired.

Zhang Lunnai was appointed by Li Yuan as a general doctor, who had already conquered Lishi, Longquan, Wencheng and other counties from Xihe County to the west, and was a fierce general in the Tang army.

Hancheng originally had 30,000 Tang troops, and if Zhang Lun's 15,000 troops were added, the Tang army would have 45,000 men and horses, and the gap with the Sui army was no longer so obvious.

That night, Zhang Lun led an army of 15,000 and arrived in Hancheng, and the Tang army saw the arrival of reinforcements, and their morale was greatly increased.

The Tang army of 45,000 soldiers and horses occupied Hancheng, and the Sui army of 70,000 horses occupied Jaeyang City, and the two armies confronted each other. (To be continued......)
