When the news came, most of the generals of the Zhao army did not think that Li Tang had the ability to annihilate Wang Junkuo's 200,000 army, these were the main cavalry corps, even if they could not be defeated, or the light enemy was ambushed, they might just be frustrated, and those who retreated temporarily would never be annihilated.

Li Tang's 100,000 horses annihilated 200,000 troops, this is a joke.

Xue Wanche said disdainfully: "Your Majesty Li Shimin's plan is very simple, Li Tang is just Lubu to report victory, this is their word, this has never been Lubu to win, but it is used to strengthen the morale of the people, and it is common to exaggerate the results of the battle by ten times, and even boast that the defeat is a victory, which is all there." ”

"Yes, our army is all cavalry, even if it is a failure, it can be temporarily retreated, I have never heard of the reason that the cavalry was annihilated, even if Li Tang has a million troops, he can't do it, not to mention Li Shimin's strength now?" Ji Chuan also said analytically.

Hearing Xue Wanche and Ji Chuan say this, the generals present were worried and confused, and they suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

"This is Li Shimin's plan to attack the heart, deliberately cut off our contact with the Western Route Army, and then eliminate the stronghold of our Fengwen Division, so that after our army enters Guanzhong, it will lose its eyes and ears and be isolated, so that we can be in chaos without a fight." Xu Shiji made a concluding remark.

Xu Shiji, the first general of the Zhao Army, said so, and all the generals were convinced.

The soldiers are the first to attack the heart, Li Shimin is really a strong enemy, and all the generals think so, but they think so, it does not mean that the soldiers are also like this, if the news reaches the morale of the sergeants and soldiers, it is unknown.

At this moment, a general rushed into the big tent and said: "Your Majesty, Chang'an is going to the Tang army out of the city." Fight against our army! ”

"I don't know if I'm alive or dead!" The generals were furious. Li Shimin's main force was rushing to Fufeng, while the defenders of Chang'an were nothing more than ordinary garrison troops. also dared to provoke Zhao Jun. But everyone also took a deeper step to think about whether this was the meaning of Tang Jun's temptation. Let's see if the main force of the Zhao army is in turmoil.

Sure enough, at this time, a general said: "Your Majesty, I don't know the situation of the Western Route Army at the moment, are we cautious?" Temporarily retreat. ”

"What's there to say about this, it must be Tang Jun who has come to test our reality."

"Li Tang obviously has made up his mind to break down, you guys, we can't retreat, but we have to deal with Li Tang here."

"Morale can be drummed, but it can't be vented, don't you hear the truth of a drum, that is, there is no Western Route Army. We can also take Chang'an in one battle. ”

The generals made generous statements.

Seeing that the army's heart was like this, Li Chongjiu was very relieved and asked at the moment: "Which general is willing to fight the Tang Army?" ”

"I want to go!"

"I want to go!" At that moment, more than 20 generals under the tent stood up together.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay, just send Xue Wanjun to fight with Wu Gu Nai!" ”

"No!"

The second general will get Li Chongjiu's point general, and they are all elated at the moment. After the two hugged their fists, they came out of the big tent together. The Wugunai Department is the elite heavy cavalry of the Zhao army, and it is the most combat-effective unit. Li Chongjiu sent Wu Gu Nai to fight, which means that he only wants to win and not lose.

Soon after, outside the big tent, there was the sound of soldiers and horses running back and forth. The sound of the clanging of armor as he ran with the soldiers was clearly heard in the big tent. And Li Chongjiu sat still, and the generals saw Li Chongjiu walking like this, and they were all determined from the bottom of their hearts. Sit together and wait for news.

After an hour, some generals couldn't help but sit still, poking their heads out from time to time. Looking in the direction of the gate. Some generals inevitably felt apprehensive at this time. However, Xu Shiji, Xue Wanche and other generals closed their eyes and recuperated. There is no light movement.

Many people have never felt that time has passed so long.

In the midst of this long wait, a long neighing of horses was heard. Many generals have opened their eyes. Looking in the direction of Yuanmen, he saw a bloodied cavalryman galloping towards him.

The man ran to the tent, and someone led him on horseback. The other party knelt in front of the big tent with a puff, and before he could speak, Wang Mahan and several other generals who couldn't bear it stepped forward and asked, "How is it, how is the battle?" ”

"Returning to the general, tell your majesty, great victory! Great victory! ”

"Huh!" Wang Mahan sighed.

The original silence in the tent was suddenly broken, and the generals' tense bodies were slightly relieved. This person said loudly: "General Wugunai asked me to report that our army of 3,000 men and horses encountered 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Tang Army, and fought fiercely under Chang'an City for an hour. Our army defeated the Tang army and beheaded more than 400 ranks, and the Tang army suffered more than 1,000 casualties. ”

"General Wu Gu Nai took advantage of the victory to fight under the north gate of Chang'an, and the gate of Chang'an City was closed, and no soldier dared to go out."

The generals laughed one after another, and Wang Mahan said: "This battle is enough to scare the courage of the Tang Army in Chang'an." ”

With more than 400 levels of beheading, there is no doubt that this is a big victory, and all the generals are also overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, taking advantage of this great victory, when the Tang Army of Chang'an is discouraged, will our army retreat to the same continent first, and after joining forces with Shan Xiongxin's 25,000 soldiers and horses, first stick to the same continent, and wait for the news of the Western Route Army?" Yu Shinan spoke to Li Chongjiu.

This is also doable. There were several serious generals who couldn't help but agree with Yu Shinan Jian.

Gather the soldiers and horses in one place, shrink the long supply line of the grain route, concentrate the troops, and twist them into fists.

"No, no retreat." Li Chongjiu shook his head and said.

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 120,000 soldiers and horses in the camp at this moment, if Li Shimin leads the army to attack Tongzhou and cut off our army's food route, our army will be difficult to take care of!" Yu Shinan said with a worried face.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "There are 25,000 troops of Shan Xiongxin stationed in Tongzhou, which is not so easy to attack, and in the same way, if I retreat to Tongzhou, it is equivalent to showing cowardice to Li Shimin." Since Li Shimin boasted that the Western Route Army had been completely annihilated, I led the army to be stationed under Chang'an City, so that his rumors would be self-defeating. ”

"Your Majesty, this is too risky, if the Western Route Army ......"

General Li Chongjiu glared and shouted: "I never believe that the Western Route Army will be annihilated by Li Shimin, Wang Junkuo, Yinghefu, Etuo, and Tuli are all generals selected by me, and I believe in them." ”

Listening to Li Chongjiu say this, all the generals of the Zhao army received orders.

"I not only want to defend, but also attack, a setback to the Tang army's spirit, Xue Wanche listened to the order, and ordered the Rubu to capture Jingyang within three days!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

Before investigating, Jingyang was heavily guarded by the Tang Army, and it was not easy to attack. However, after capturing Jingyang, it can not only threaten Chang'an from the north, but also cover the supply of grain routes in the same continent, which is very important for the entire Chang'an strategy. Li Shimin is also a veteran soldier, so he deployed in Jingyang early.

Xue Wanche's 30,000-strong army went north, and Li Chongjiu also led the army to move the camp for 30 miles, and set up the camp in Sanyuan County, which was less than 20 miles away from Jingyang.

Suddenly, countless soldiers and horses in the north of Chang'an rolled away.
