Autumn rain beats down on the eaves.

The water droplets rolled down, and Li Shentong stood in front of the steps, looking at the continuous autumn rain in front of the door.

Although this autumn rain has been falling for a long time, it is not big, and Li Shentong has been looking forward to a continuous rainstorm that will turn the land of Hebei into a mud to delay the offensive of Li Chongjiu's thunderous grassland horsemen.

Thinking about it today, it is indeed a bit ridiculous, when he swore in front of the generals, with an optimistic estimate, Li Chongjiu will be blocked under Gaoyang City for at least half a month, and after the city is broken, he will go to the city of Zhaozhou to fight a decisive battle with Liu Heimin, as a result, Li Chongjiu was blocked in Jiancheng, and Liu Heimin was defeated and injured.

And Li Shentong can come forward to reap the benefits of the fishermen, first attack and destroy Yu Wenhua, and then cooperate with Li Shimin's main army in Guanzhong to capture Luoyang, and then go all out to capture Hebei. What a perfect plan.

But Li Shentong felt that he was just a dream, and the current situation in Hebei for Li Tang was that Li Chongjiu dragged the entire Hebei up like a mat.

No one expected Li Chongjiu's strategy of advancing in parallel with water 6 to break through Liu Heimin's weak canal at once. Li Chongjiu's army fought almost all the way from Youjing to Liyang, opening up the entire Yongji Canal.

Yesterday, Li Yuan heard about the situation of the war in Hebei, and issued an edict to reprimand Li Shentong, his edict said, the younger brother's talent, the brother has always admired it, when the candle night talk, the younger brother did not come out of the fledgling house and knew that the world was divided into three, and the Sui Dynasty Guozuo had declined, and the foresight of the younger brother was tested.

Li Shentong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this, Li Yuan was simply comparing himself to Zhuge Liang, is this to kill himself?

Li Shentong continued to read the letter in distress, Li Yuan wrote. My state affairs are handsome, so I took my younger brother as the ambassador of Shandong to appease. I have great expectations, and I hope that my brother can be my right-hand man. For me to appease the heroes of Shandong and pacify Hebei.

Now the Zhao thieves are very strong, leading the horses of Yanshan Mountain, driving the strong men of Yishui, and invading the south. Yesterday, it was still herding horses, but now it is the Yellow River. The thousand-mile canal is as brittle and thin as paper, where are the younger brothers and horses, sitting back and watching it cross Yan Qi and cage Zhao Wei.

The matter of Hebei has been eroded to this point. Brother Shi was disappointed. I hope that my brother will be reluctant.

Li Shentong knew that Li Yuan was really angry, and he could imagine Li Yuan's expression when he faced the Hebei military situation in the Wuji Palace in Chang'an.

In fact, Li Shentong also felt that he could not explain, and Li Yuan was about to give an order, and his son Li Shimin led Li Tang's Guanzhong army to attack Wang Shichong in a big way. Before the decisive battle between Li Tang and Wang Shichong, a stable Hebei was needed.

And on the Hebei side, Li Shentong just held down Yu Wenhua, and Liu Heimin appeared over there. It's like pressing the gourd to float the scoop. And now Li Chongjiu's Zhao Jun is even more out of control, and he can't suppress it. Li Shentong watched as the counties of Hebei were trampled by Zhao Jun's iron cavalry, but he couldn't do anything about it.

In fact, not to mention rescue. At present, not only the counties of the Xia army, but even Li Tang's Xiangguo County and Zhao County have also been attacked. The assassins of the two places have been asking Li Shen for help, saying that at least tens of thousands of Youzhou cavalry are wreaking havoc in the territory.

Soldiers of the state and county. only dared to defend the city and did not dare to fight in the field, so he could only let it go in the county. The gallop of no one in sight. Even Liu Heimin had already retreated to Zhaozhou and gave up the rescue of the surrounding counties, and Li Shentong still had the courage to lead Li Tang's Hebei Army to the north to fight against Li Chongjiu's vigorous southward steppe cavalry.

Li Shentong hesitated, and the generals below were also silent, and Li Shenfu and Li Daoxuan's second generals were even more silent, they led elite troops to aid Li Shentong this time, and the purpose was to stabilize the battle situation in Hebei. But for Li Tang, not only did the battle situation in Hebei not improve at all, but here Li Chongjiu put on a whale swallowing trend, and was about to swallow several counties in Hebei into his stomach.

At this time, Xu Jingzong walked into the house, saw everyone's expressions, and immediately said: "King Huai'an, I don't know if you want to hear good news?" ”

Li Shentong glanced at Xu Jingzong, this person is also incompetent, went to Yu Wenhua and worked as a lobbyist, but after returning to the camp, he was so frightened that he peed his pants, which really lost the face of the Tang Dynasty envoy.

"What's the good news?" Li Shentong asked impatiently.

Xu Jingzong said: "Wang Bo of Qi County has sent troops!" ”

"Where is the direction?"

All the generals came to the map together, and Xu Jingzong pointed his hand and said: "Right now, Baimajin in the East County of the Tun Army." ”

Li Shentong stroked his palms and said with a smile: "As I expected, Yu Wenhua was unwilling to be taken by Li Chongjiu, so he sent Wang Bo to recapture Liyangcang, and my opportunity has come." ”

The generals were shocked when they heard Li Shentong say this, and Li Shenfu asked, "Big brother, will Ji An come out?" ”

Li Shentong said with a slight smile: "It's nothing, Li Chongjiu didn't have many soldiers and horses from Liyang Cang, we also sent troops to Liyang, and Wang Bo joined forces twice, not seeking to break Liyang, but to tie Li Chongjiu in Liyang Cang." ”

The crowd was silent.

Li Shentong saw that the generals had a mediocre reaction and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with it? ”

Li Daoxuan on the side said: "Back to King Huai'an, it was good in the past, but Li Chongjiu is cunning and scheming, this time our army sent troops to Liyang, will it be in his plan again?" You see, although Wang Bo said that he had sent troops, he only sent light cavalry to cross the river to investigate, and the main force was still stationed on Baimajin on the south bank of the Yellow River, and he did not dare to cross the river. ”

Li Shenfu said: "Big brother, what you said is true, there is no big mistake in being cautious. ”

Li Shentong listened and pondered, Wang Bo is untrustworthy and unrighteous, and he is a repetitive and changeable person, but he cannot be trusted. In case he didn't cross the river to attack Li Chongjiu, wouldn't he be alone if he Li Shentong went deep into Liyang City.

Li Shentong himself lost his land and lost the city in Hebei, although Li Yuan has always been dissatisfied, but he led the people and horses of Li Tang Hebei without any major losses. Therefore, not long ago, Li Shentong defended to Li Yuan that he was a survivor and lost his ground, and contracted the defense line to save Li Tang's soldiers and horses.

But if Li Shentong fought a decisive battle with Li Chongjiu in Liyang City, if he failed, then his days as an ambassador of pacification in Shandong Province would come to an end. Whatever knighted, even will be deprived.

So Li Shentong couldn't help but hesitate again.

The generals discussed, and finally discussed until late at night, and Li Shentong compromised the generals' opinions.

Li Shentong and Li Daoxuan each led an army from Lin Shushan and Hanoi respectively, and also marched along the Yellow River6, and 20,000 Tang soldiers arrived at Yanjin and camped.

As soon as the order was issued, Li Shentong and Li Daoxuan immediately sent troops, and Li Tang's 20,000 soldiers mobilized and arrived in Yanjin.

Yanjin is only dozens of miles away from Liyang, and Li Shentong deliberately chose to set up a large camp near Qishui in order to guard against Li Chongjiu's Youzhou Iron Cavalry, and sat and watched Liyang City.

In the city of Liyang.

The news that Li Shentong and Wang Bo's armies were approaching at the same time, Li Chongjiu had already heard of it.

Now the situation in Liyang City is very delicate, Li Shentong and Wang Bo are attacking Liyang from the east and west. Wang Bo's 20,000-strong army was stationed in Baimajin, across the river from Liyangcang, and Li Shentong's 20,000-strong Tang army was stationed in Yanjin.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but think of the siege of White Horse during the Three Kingdoms, when Yuan Shao sent troops from Yecheng to capture Cao Cao. Yuan Shao's army was stationed in Liyang City, and the general Yan Liang was the vanguard to cross the Yellow River south, and after landing in Baimajin, he attacked Baima City.

After Cao Cao heard that Baima was in an emergency, he waved his army north from Xuchang, first making a feint at the Yanjin ferry, pretending to cross the river to attack Yuan Shao's rear, forcing Yuan Shao to divide his troops. After Cao Cao led his army to attack Baima, Yuan Shaojun was caught off guard, and Guan Yu killed Yan Liang among the ten thousand troops.

Yanjin and Baimajin are important crossings of the Yellow River. Li Shentong and Wang Bo led a large army to garrison here, obviously to put on a posture of attacking Liyang.

Relatively speaking, Li Chongjiu deployed 10,000 horses in Liyang City, which was indeed a little insufficient. Li Chongjiu's 30,000 troops to the south, in addition to the 10,000 horses that attacked Liyang City, there were also 20,000 troops led by Wang Mahan and Zhang Xuansu to be stationed in Daimyo, and Yu Liu Heimin's main force was also facing across the river.

For a while, the situation was a little complicated near Zhaozhou, and his own Zhao army confronted Wang Bo, Li Shentong, and Liu Heimin at the same time.

Among them, Li Shentong's meaning is very clear, he can't let himself take Hebei in one fell swoop, he came to Liyangcang to drag his hind legs, and Wang Bo was ordered by Yu Wenhua to wait and see in Baimajin, and save the bottom of his heart to take advantage of it.

At present, how to deal with these people has become a new problem for Li Chongjiu. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
