Chapter 7 Storming Hangu Pass
"King Qin, ...... you" Hangu closed, Qin Shubao, Wei Chi Jingde and others looked at Li Shimin in surprise, Qin Shubao frowned and said: "Why should King Qin blame himself, we all know that it is not the fault of King Qin, but that Lu Bu is too cunning, so why should King Qin ......"
"Uncle Bao doesn't need to say any more." Li Shimin waved his hand a little silently: "In any case, the matter of General Qu Tu is the fault of the people of the world after all, and it is the responsibility of the people to do so, the people have asked General Li Jing to go to Chang'an to ask for the guilt, and ask Yuan Ji to come here to fight instead of the people, Luoyang is related to Li Tang Yunshu, and I also ask you to assist Yuan Ji wholeheartedly." ”
"It's just that His Royal Highness is still in the future, and the war here should still be handled by the King of Qin, and now Lu Bu is leading the army to look at the side, if Luoyang is captured by it, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the overall situation, and please ask the King of Qin not to fall into Lu Bu's calculations because of such things, and my Tang Dynasty is in danger" Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice.
"What Mr. said is reasonable, Shimin is also ready to send troops today to besiege Luoyang, no matter what the result is, please help me" Li Shimin nodded and bowed to everyone.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin can rest assured, the ministers will definitely live up to His Highness's trust," Qin Shubao and the others bowed.
Li Shimin nodded, and began to dispatch troops, although he had decided to do certain things, but the land of Luoyang, he must take it, otherwise, even if he can inherit the unification in the future, it is only a corner of peace, and the reason why he chose Li Yuanji instead of Li Jiancheng.
First, in terms of the art of war, Li Yuanji is better than Li Jiancheng, and secondly, he can also sell Li Yuanji a favor, if he succeeds in the future, after all, he is his own brother, plus today's grace, and if there is no support from Chang'an, Li Yuanji only has Luoyang, even if Li Shimin does not crusade against him, it will be difficult for Li Yuanji to resist the attack of Lu Bu and Kou Zhong.
Luoyang, Dugu Mansion.
"Big brother, there was news from Li Shimin just now, let us cooperate with them to break the city" Dugu Sheng held a letter in his hand and came to Dugu Feng's side.
"Whew, I see." Dugu Feng turned his back to Dugu Sheng and said indifferently.
"Big brother." After hesitating slightly, Dugu Sheng looked at Dugu Feng and hesitated: "Do we really want to help Li Shimin?" Yesterday's incident, you also know, will it be ...... to help Li Shimin break through Luoyang?"
"Li Shimin's matter is a private matter of the Li family, and we don't need to worry about it." Dugu Feng said coldly: "Now, we don't want to stand in the opposite camp, as long as we help the Li family break through Luoyang, we can join the Li family and gain a firm foothold. Dugu Feng said coldly.
"My brother is confused, and I ask my eldest brother to forgive me." Dugu Sheng nodded hurriedly and arched his hand.
"Let's go down." Dugu Feng nodded and waved his hand.
"Yes" Dugu Sheng bowed to Dugu Feng before turning around and retreating.
"Wang Shichong, you and I, it's time to make a break" Dugu Feng's eyes, flashed a look of excitement, looking at the direction of Shangshu Mansion, the contradiction between Wang Shichong and Dugu Valve has been around for a long time, as early as when Yang Guang died and Dugu Valve withdrew to Luoyang, but now Wang Shichong has controlled the situation in Luoyang and supported Yang Tong as the emperor.
If it weren't for the deep foundation of the Dugu family, I'm afraid there would be no place in Luoyang, Wang Shichong naturally couldn't rest assured that Dugu Valve, and had spared no effort to suppress it, and Dugu Valve had a deep foundation, so he was naturally not willing to be silent.
Many of the children of Dugu Valve died in the hands of Wang Shichong, and Wang Shichong also had a lot of territory, which was taken alive by Dugu Valve, and now, the two sides have been like fire and water, Dugu Valve can tolerate Li Mi, but cannot tolerate Wang Shichong, so today, Wang Shichong will die
"Xuxingzhi has seen the prince and princess" In Lu Bu's big tent, Xuxingzhi hurriedly came in and bowed to Lu Bu and Shen Luoyan, who had just arrived.
"You don't have to do it too much, what's the matter with doing it in such a hurry?" Lu Bu waved his hand and asked.
"Yes, Li Shimin has led his troops to besiege Luoyang and dug up Luoshui, it seems that he is preparing for a big war."
"Dig up Luoshui?" Shen Luoyan's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, the minister also has some doubts, it is said that there is a Dugu valve as an internal response, there is no need to make more of a move, what kind of medicine Li Shimin sells, his subordinates don't know." The Void Walk said in a deep voice.
After Shen Luoyan pondered for a moment, a smile regained on his face, and he said with a smile: "There are no more than three reasons, first, Li Shimin does not fully believe in Dugu Valve, and he is ready to fight a protracted war, but it is not in line with Li Shimin's interests; second, it is nothing more than hiding people's eyes and ears, making it easier for Dugu Valve to succeed; Third, Li Shiminzhi is not here."
"Isn't it here?" Lu Bu and Xu Xingzhi both looked at Shen Luoyan in surprise, wondering why she would say this.
"Yes, judging from the current situation, no matter what, Li Shimin should fight a decisive battle, otherwise, it is only a matter of time before Li Tang sends someone to replace him." Shen Luoyan nodded and said.
"For Li Shimin, if he can capture Luoyang, he may be able to recover some of the impact of Qu Su's death, if this opportunity is given to others, Li Shimin is in Li Valve, I am afraid there is no room to turn over the princess, please forgive me for the foolishness, if Li Shimin is not here, where will it be? Elsewhere, there is simply no chance to turn him over. Void nodded his head.
"No, there's still a chance" Shen Luoyan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Coup"
"Coup" Lu Bu, a flash of shock flashed on his face, this is not a joke, if you don't care, you will never recover.
"Yes, moreover, Li Shimin has a great chance of success, whether it is Li Yuanji or Li Jiancheng, he will bring his cronies, after all, Luoyang is the capital of the two capitals, if he can take this place under his own banner, whether it is Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji, he has an absolute advantage" Shen Luoyan nodded and said.
"And in this way, it has invisibly weakened Chang'an's defenses, and Li Shimin has a heart and no intention," said Xuxing.
"This is also Li Shimin's strength, if Luoyan is not bad, this trip also has the help of Cihang Jingzhai and Shamen masters, with the influence of the two factions in Guanzhong, even if it is foolproof, it is not an exaggeration" Shen Luoyan nodded.
"So what should we do now?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice, Li Shimin's sitting on Li Tang is definitely not something he wants to see, even if Li Shimin can't capture Luoyang, but Li Shimin, who owns the land of Guanzhong, plus no other people's constraints, the threat does not decrease but increases
"Hangu Pass" said in unison, and Shen Luoyan said almost in unison.
"If Li Shimin wants to return to Guanzhong, he must pass through Hangu Pass, if our army can capture Hangu Pass first, it can not only prevent Li Shimin from returning, but also cut off the back road of the Tang army in Luoyang, if you can leave these 200,000 Tang troops here, you will be able to greatly damage the vitality of the Tang army, and Luoyang will also become a turtle in the urn, if the Dugu family wants to remain, they will definitely choose to cooperate with our army" said in a deep voice.
"And Hangu Pass, after our army occupied Luoyang, was also a major strategic point for the confrontation with the Tang army, which could be attacked, retreated, and only 10,000 people were needed to defend it, but Li Valve had to garrison here for a long time to prevent our army from breaking in, which invisibly contained Li Tang's military strength" Shen Luoyan nodded.
"Okay, pass on my military order, and order Luo Cheng and Shan Xiongxin to lead 30,000 blood wolf troops to join me, seize Hangu Pass, and lead the army to stay in the Tiger Prison Pass, and Luoyan will go with me." Lu Bu nodded.
At the moment of the military war, I heard that I was going to attack Li Valve, the happiest person was Shan Xiongxin, Li Yuan had a grudge against him for killing his brother, and the reason why he was chosen to go with him was also concerned in this regard, after all, this was Shan Xiongxin's long-cherished wish for many years, and attacking Li Valve, naturally he would not be pulled down.
And just when Lu Bu was preparing his troops and preparing to capture Hangu Pass, Li Shimin had already arranged everything and left quietly, Luoyang had been surrounded like an iron bucket, and the rest of the things were waiting for Li Yuanji to come, as for the rest, Li Shimin couldn't care about it now.
Outside Hangu Pass, Yin Kaishan frowned and looked at the figure of Li Shimin leaving, feeling a little inappropriate in his heart, but at this time, Li Shimin insisted on returning to Chang'an, faintly, he felt a little inappropriate in his heart, but how it was inappropriate, and he couldn't say it.
"Boom"
The sound of thunderous hooves sounded, and a colonel hurriedly came to Yin Kaishan's side, knelt on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "General, the big thing is not good, Lu Bu leads troops to attack"
"What?" Yin Kaishan's face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "Quick, prepare to fight"
"Yes"
Why did Lu Bu suddenly give up Luoyang and attack Hangu Pass, Yin Kaishan didn't think much about it, just looked at the murderous blood wolf army, and remembered the scene in front of Hangu Pass a few days ago, but Yin Kaishan felt cold.
Fortunately, it is impossible for the cavalry to rush directly to the city wall, otherwise, Yin Kaishan doesn't know how to resist, what kind of hero Qu Tu is, don't you still fold in Lu?
The city wall of Shizhang is the great master who is here, and he can't jump up, Yin Kaishan thought in his heart.
"General, look" Suddenly, a colonel's eyes widened, and he pointed at Lu Bujun and said loudly.
"What's wrong?" Yin Kaishan hurriedly looked, but saw that Lu Bu actually led the cavalry straight towards the city gate, which was less than a hundred steps away from the city gate, but he had no intention of stopping at all.
"What does he want to do?" Yin Kaishan frowned.
At this time, Lu Bu suddenly broke away from the large army, chased with full wind, and rushed towards the direction of the city gate.
"Release the arrows and stop him" Yin Kaishan roared sharply, although he didn't know what Lu Bu was going to do, but his intuition told him that he must not let Lu Bu get close.
"Woohoo"
The rain of arrows in the sky fell like a dark cloud, Lu Fangtian's halberd danced, splashed water and did not enter, and all the arrows were opened.
"Could it be ......" Looking at Lu Bu's faster and faster figure, a ridiculous thought flashed in Yin Kaishan's heart.
"Open" A loud shout sounded, Lu Bu had already rushed to the city gate, Fang Tian's halberd was raised high, and a perfect arc was cut in the air, and the surrounding space was directly torn open a huge opening.
"Boom"
