In March of the first year of Da Kun and Shenwu calendar, Taizu drove his own expedition, and met the rebel Li Yuan's eldest son Jiancheng in Maojin to lead the army to attack the emperor, the emperor thundered and was furious, and the whip was struck, and the rebel Li Jiancheng was defeated, and the emperor was invincible, and the rebel thief was built in the camp in the chaotic battlefield, and the sound shook the four fields!

This is a document recorded by the army, which was recorded in the history books and revised several times, and finally Ye Chen saw the history recorded in the history books for future generations to know.

To put it simply, Ye Chen's army met Li Jiancheng's army in Maojin, the two armies fought, beheaded Li Jiancheng in the Chinese army, and defeated Li Jiancheng's army.

In fact, there is not much difference from this, but there is a slight difference, the war was not very smooth at the beginning, Li Jiancheng is Li Yuan's eldest son, and his ability is not weak, at least Ye Chen will never be worse than Li Shimin in his eyes, it is normal to think about it, if his ability is too poor, how could Li Yuan let him lead an army of more than 100,000 to attack Wang Shichong, and this soldier and horse is not blown by the wind.

In fact, even in the official history, Li Jiancheng's ability is also extremely outstanding, not inferior to Li Shimin, before the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin was forced by the then prince Li Jiancheng to exhaust the mountains and rivers, otherwise he would not have finally made a desperate mutiny.

Mutiny is the choice of the weak at any time, and the gambler's last choice, if Li Shimin really has the strength to crush the crown prince Li Jiancheng, the choice should be an open coup d'état to force Li Yuan to abolish the prince, rather than a mutiny of killing his brother and forcing his father.

That was Li Shimin's last fight, and he succeeded by luck, so that he would have the rule of Tang Taizong in later generations, otherwise he would be a rebel son who killed his brother and father.

I don't know how many princes rebelled in history, but the successful one was Liao Liao Wuji, and Li Shimin was one of the most successful.

More than 300,000 troops of the two armies fought in Maojindu, Li Jiancheng was on the defensive at the beginning, steady and steady, Ye Chen did not make a move at the beginning, he was already the emperor, and it was not good to charge into battle if he had nothing to do, but the result was really not satisfactory to him, the two armies fought back and forth more than a dozen times, and failed to defeat the opponent for five days, and finally let him can't help but take action in person, leading the army to forcibly cut through Li Jiancheng's army, cutting off his handsome banner before defeating Li Jiancheng's troops, and Li Jiancheng himself did not kill him at the first time, Instead, when he was chasing and killing the rout in the back, Zhang Ling led the army to block a valley between Maojindu and Hangu Pass, and did not let him kill him until he arrived.

Kill Li Jiancheng, part of the remaining Tang army surrendered, part retreated to Hongnong, the general Zhang Ling led an army of 50,000 to besiege Hongnong, and Dugu Zhan led an army of 30,000 to attack Taolin.

When Ye Chen led the main army to arrive, Hongnong Taolin was captured one after another, and the army was divided again, and the general Zhang Ling led 100,000 troops along Maojin to cross the river to the north, and Ye Chen personally led the remaining 120,000 troops along Tongguan Weishui, and the troops pointed directly at Chang'an.

That's right, after defeating Li Jiancheng's army of more than 100,000 people, he immediately changed his plan and attacked Li Yuan instead of Wang Shichong.

Along the way, the defenders of the county town surrendered one after another under his strong force, and in less than half a month, they had already attacked and camped ten miles away from Chang'an.

After setting up camp, he did not order an immediate attack, but met Li Tang's envoy in the big tent - Shi Fei Xuan, the contemporary heir of Cihang Jingzhai saw that he was attacking all the way to Chang'an, and finally could not sit still and came to see him.

In the big tent, Ye Chen was sitting on the gorgeous bed, and one of the two pretty palace maids on the side was peeling fruit and feeding it to him, and the other was rubbing his back for him, although he didn't feel much strength.

"The fairy is here to let me retire?"

Ye Chen seemed to have heard something funny, and asked politely at all:

"I don't know why you have the confidence to let me give up?"

The concubine sat on the futon embroidered with silk and satin, showing a beautiful posture, at this time she had no confidence at the beginning, Li Jiancheng lost more than 100,000 troops, which greatly injured Li Tang's vitality, if it is said that in the face of Wang Shichong Dou Jiande's forces still have the power to resist, in the face of Ye Chen's army, even if they themselves are pessimistic, although even if Li Jiancheng is undefeated, there is no chance of winning.

Her beautiful face was unwavering, and her beautiful eyes fell on Ye Chen's face, and she said in a deep voice:

"Concubine Xuan is here today to tell Your Majesty a big event."

"You say."

Swallowing the palace maid and peeling the grapes, he bowed his jaw.

"Concubine Xuan received the news that the Eastern Turkic Khan had united with the Western Turks and Tuyuhun and other Western Regions countries to form an alliance, and wanted to invade the Central Plains in the south.

"But just imagine, even if Your Majesty's martial arts can successfully capture Chang'an, it is also a loss of soldiers, Chang'an City is strong, or you can't stop Your Majesty, but it can definitely make Your Majesty's warriors suffer heavy casualties, and even if Li Shimin is defeated in Chang'an, he can also launch a comprehensive counterattack of the remaining troops in the Guannei and Hetao areas, and at the same time, Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong will not continue to wait and see and send troops to support, at that time Your Majesty will fall into the same as the last Luoyang general coalition attack, this time there is no strong Luoyang City, even if Your Majesty can win, it is a narrow victory, and the rest of the soldiers and horses may be difficult to resist the Turkic coalition armyAt that time, His Majesty can get out and return to Luoyang to hold on, but other places in Guanzhong will fall under the iron hooves of foreign tribes, so I don't know if Your Majesty foresees such consequences? ”

Ye Chen had been watching her talk intently, and when she finished speaking, he suddenly clapped his hands and smiled:

"Wonderful, Shi Fairy's words are reasonable and well-founded, I appreciate it very much, and then what?"

And then what?

These three words made Concubine Shi Xuan stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and continued:

"Concubine Xuan wants to ask Your Majesty to consider the common people in the world, withdraw and return to Luoyang, and fight against the Turkic coalition army."

"Huh!"

These two words containing the truth of heaven and earth made her stunned, although the times are different, but the intelligent master of ice and snow still immediately understood, and said:

"Your Majesty doesn't believe Concubine Xuan, do you think I'm lying to you?"

"No, I believe you."

Ye Chen stood up from the collapse, waved his hand to order the two palace maids to retreat, and walked up to the concubine Xuan with a tall and oppressive body, and said:

"It's a pity, the news of Shi Fairy is outdated, I have long known the movements of the Turks, so I have already prepared before sending troops, and I have sent someone to Pegasus Ranch to pick up Xiuxun, and now it is estimated that I will return to Luoyang, in addition, a heavy garrison has been deployed between Wagang and Liyang, and the main force of the Turkic coalition army must be from Youzhou and Yanmen Pass and the northwest to the south, but unfortunately this is not my territory, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande will help me block a wave first, and wait for me to free up my hands to clean up Li Yuan and then return to Luoyang, At that time, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were estimated to have been defeated by the Turkic coalition army, and at that time, I would come to clean up the mess and expel the aliens, and the territory and people would be all in my hands, wouldn't it be happy! ”

He looked at Concubine Xuan, whose face was changing back and forth, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile:

"Fairy Shi, how do you look at my plan, is there room for improvement?"
