The peach blossoms in spring are blooming, which should be a good time for outing, but because of the continuous war, people cannot enjoy the beautiful scenery of a hundred flowers blooming.

Li Shimin led his army through Mengzhou and wanted to pass through Mengzhou to Wei County, but was ambushed here.

The army that ambushed Li Shimin was sent by Wang Shichong, and the leading marching marshal was Wang Bian, who took Shan Xiongxin, Duan Da and other fierce generals.

"I originally just wanted to attack Yuwen Zhiji, but I didn't expect Wang Shichong to come and kick him, so let's fight him together."

Li Shimin personally went to the battlefield, preparing to annihilate Wang Shichong's army and then take Luoyang.

Shan Xiongxin, Chai Xiaohe, Cai Jiande and others, Li Mi's old subordinates saw Li Shimin, their eyes were very red, and they picked up their weapons and rushed towards Li Shimin.

"Li Shimin, you killed Duke Wei and took your life."

Anger burned in the hearts of several people, and the weapons in their hands were brandished more quickly than usual.

Li Shimin didn't do the same thing, and rushed back and forth with Qin Shubao and others, and everywhere he passed, there were countless deaths and injuries.

Who knew that Shan Xiongxin, Chai Xiaohe and others led Li Mi's old troops to rush in from the flank, break up the Tang army camp, and reach Li Shimin's side.

Li Shimin hurriedly fought back and confronted Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin was very brave, and he picked Li Shimin off the horse several times, if Qin Shubao and Duan Zhixuan hadn't arrived in time, Li Shimin would have died in his hands.

"He is worthy of being the flying general of Wagangzhai." Li Shimin praised Shan Xiongxin in person, turned around and left the battlefield here.

Shan Xiongxin continued to pursue, but was stopped by Duan Zhixuan.

The battle lasted two days and two nights, with casualties on both sides.

Wang Shichong's army could not win against the Tang army, and the Tang army could not advance, so Li Shimin was annoyed.

Chu Liang suggested: "Marshal, it is better to send a message to the king of Huai'an, and ask him to lead his troops to attack Wang Shichong's army from the rear, and attack us from both sides, which will definitely solve the current predicament." ”

"No." Li Shimin immediately refused: "The king of Huai'an's attack on Wei County is a critical moment, how can he disrupt the plan?"

"The first battle was just a draw, don't worry, Yuwenzhi and his own King Huai'an will clean up, don't need me to go out, let's stay here and consume Wang Shichong's troops."

......

After the temporary truce, Wang Wei convened the generals to discuss the next battle plan.

Pei Qiantong said: "Taiwei sent us to intercept Li Shimin, but it was just for the previous agreement with Yuwen Zhihe, and now that we have fought with Li Shimin, we can be regarded as completing the agreement, so as not to let Taiwei lose his trust."

"I don't think I have to fight anymore, I can withdraw my troops."

Although the first battle did not distinguish the winner or loser, their soldiers suffered many casualties, and if they continue to fight, they are afraid that too many troops will be consumed.

"We can't collect troops yet." Voices of opposition rang out.

Pei Qiantong followed the prestige, and was the military advisor of the original Wagangzhai - Jia Xiong.

Jia Xiong said: "If we collect our troops now, Li Shimin and Li Shentong will meet, and Yuwen Zhihe will be defeated." When the time comes, Li Shimin will turn around and attack Luoyang, and his power will be better than now, how can we withstand it? ”

The crowd was thoughtful.

"Therefore, we must hold Li Shimin back now, wait until Dou Jiande leads the army to come, and then let the Tang army and the Xia army fight, and we can reap the benefits of the fisherman."

After listening to Jia Xiong's analysis, Wang Wei clapped his hands and praised: "Sir's clever plan!" ”

"Okay, let's continue to fight tomorrow."

......

Yuwen Zhiji, who is bound to be defeated in the hearts of everyone, is indeed not in a good situation at this time.

Li Shentong led the army to attack Wei County, but in just ten days, Yuwen Zhiji's army lost tens of thousands.

When he went to attack Luoyang before, Yuwen Zhiji lost a lot of men and horses, and now there are only 20,000 soldiers left.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuwen Zhihe ordered: "Retreat." ”

He then withdrew from Wei County and fled east to Wei Prefecture.

Li Shentong conquered Wei County, captured 3,000 prisoners, killed them all, and led his troops to continue the pursuit of Yuwen Zhiji.

Encountering other rebels on the way, Li Shentong was temporarily held back.

Yuwen Zhihe kept complaining during the escape: "He yes, Wei County is really too small, and he wants to build a larger city as the capital." ”

After arriving in Weizhou, Yu Wenzhihe ordered: "Everyone listens to the order, give Gu an all-out attack on Weizhou, and defeat Weizhou." ”

At the sound of an order, the soldiers began to attack the city.

At this time, Weizhou belonged to the territory of Dou Jiande of the Xia Dynasty, and it was Yuan Treasure that was stationed in Weizhou.

Yuan Baobao heard the news of Yuwen Zhi and the siege of the city, and hurriedly organized soldiers to defend.

But Yuwen Zhiji fled all the way to this, there were no large siege equipment in the army, and the city wall of Weizhou was strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Yuwen Zhiji's army attacked for seven or eight days in a row, but failed to capture Weizhou, and the morale of the army gradually declined.

When the news reached Dou Jiande's ears, he ordered: "Order the county prince of Handong and order him to give up Liyang and go to rescue Weizhou." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Heimin received the order, he received a report from the scout: "Weizhou guard Yuan Baobao held the city for more than 20 days, killed more than 2,000 enemy soldiers, and the Xu army fled in the direction of Liaocheng." ”

Hearing this, Liu Heimin was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "The whole army will set off and go to Liaocheng." ”

Li Yang can't be attacked, he wants to destroy Yuwen Zhiji and save his lost face.

After Yu Wenzhihe fled to Liaocheng, he ordered his subordinates to recruit nearby bandits and expand the army.

......

After hearing Pei Yun's intentions, Wang Bo, the leader of the nearby rebel army, first thought for a while, and then said to Pei Yun: "You go back and tell Your Majesty Xu Guo that I need to think about this matter." ”

"This is natural, then Pei will leave first." Pei Yun said everything he should have said, so he didn't stay anymore.

After Pei Yun left, Wang Bo convened his generals to discuss: "Yuwen Zhihe sent someone to win me over, hoping that I would be stationed in Liaocheng and work with him to resist the Tang army, what do you think?" ”

A certain general's eyes flashed with golden light, and he said to Wang Bo: "I passed by Liaocheng a few days ago and saw Yu Wenzhi pulling hundreds of carriages into Liaocheng.

"The Yuwen clan used to be in power, and they did not sobt the people's fat and ointment on weekdays, and the property at home was innumerable, and I saw that the wheel prints of those carriages were very deep, and they must be filled with gold and silver treasures."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Someone immediately suggested: "Chief, why don't we pretend to surrender to Liaocheng first, enter Liaocheng, and then find an opportunity to rob his belongings." ”

As soon as this proposal came out, it was immediately responded to by everyone.

Wang Bo himself was also very interested in treasures, so he agreed.

"You two, go to Liaocheng tomorrow."

......

On the evening of the second day, Wang Bo led his army into Liaocheng.

The day after Wang Bo entered Liaocheng, Li Shentong's army arrived.

After Li Shentong besieged Liaocheng, he immediately ordered the siege of the city.

He ordered people to activate large-scale siege equipment such as three-bow bed crossbows and launched a fierce attack on Liaocheng.

Yu Wenzhi, who was standing on the city wall, felt numb when he saw these instruments, Li Yuan turned out to be just a small Guogong, how could he have such a powerful craftsman and create so many weapons that he had never seen before?

Why doesn't he have such a powerful person under his hands?

Thinking of this, Yu Wenzhi and then looked at Sima Dejiao and other generals, and his eyes couldn't help but show disgust.

Why are Li Yuan and Dou Jiande all fierce generals, and the people under him are a group of straw bales?

The more Yu Wenzhi thought about it, the more unwilling he felt, if he had a fierce general under his hands, the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an would be in his pocket, and he would not fall into today's predicament......

Pei Yun observed the situation for a long time, and couldn't help but say to Yuwen Zhiji: "Your Majesty, the enemy's attack is too fierce, and Liaocheng may not be able to hold it." ”

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it." Yuwen Zhihe roared.
