Chapter 857: Half of the Country

The Turks were defeated, Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi were killed, and Lin Sha led his army to sweep through the north.

The news spread, and the world was in an uproar.

No one thought that in less than half a month, such earth-shaking changes would take place in the Northland.

By the time Li Tang's army, which was besieging Chang'an, reacted and wanted to retreat in a panic, Lin Sha had already led nearly 100,000 cavalry to cover up from behind.

At the same time, Luo Shixin, the general of the Sui army who was sitting in Tongguan, changed his previous tactics of shrinking, and suddenly raised troops to constantly harass and pull the energy of Li Tang's army, desperately trying to pull Li Tang's army in the Chang'an Plain.

What makes people feel strange is that Wang Shichong of Chang'an, who was suppressed by Li Tang and couldn't breathe, was silent about this state, and did not fall into the well to chase after him, but faintly revealed a trace of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Lin Sha didn't dare to do so much, he led the army to fight with the main force of the Tang Dynasty in the Chang'an Plain.

More than 300,000 horses from both sides fought a battle, killing the sky and the sun and the moon, Lin Sha once again let people see, what is the demeanor of the world's number one fierce general!

He personally led 3,000 guards and iron cavalry to gallop in all directions, rushing back and forth in Li Tang's army to kill flesh and blood, and easily kill several bloody paths.

The 100,000 troops that followed closely behind took the opportunity to swarm into the bloody path that was pierced by Lin Sha, quickly occupying it and expanding wildly on both sides.

The two armies fought for three days, each suffering heavy casualties, killing and wounding small centaurs, Li Tang was even more frightened, and lost nearly 100 people in three days, most of which died at the hands of Lin Sha!

With such a tragic loss, Li Yuan couldn't bear it and finally decided to withdraw his troops and return to Jincheng.

Lin Sha relentlessly rushed and pursued repeatedly, like a very experienced hunter, swallowing the severed-tailed men and horses sent by Li Tang's army one by one.

As a result, on the way to escape and retreat, Li Tang's losses were even heavier than the previous three days of head-to-head fighting.

When Li Yuan, who was exhausted, finally got rid of Lin Sha's crazy pursuit, he looked back and suddenly wanted to cry without tears. There were more than 200,000 horses when he set out on the expedition, but when he returned to Jincheng in embarrassment, it was less than 100,000!

What made him even more heartbroken and almost vomited blood was his brave and combative youngest son Li Yuanji. was actually killed by Lin Zhengbei in the war after the break!

Li Tang's army, which returned to Jincheng's lair, cowered in Jincheng like a trapped beast, and no matter how Lin Sha provoked, he would not come out.

This time, Lin Sha also made a difficulty. In the face of Li Tang's army, which was armed to the teeth, and the favorable terrain of the tall city walls, if you don't want your soldiers to suffer heavy casualties, the best way is to outwit.

What annoyed him even more was that Li Tang's high-level officials, who were obviously overwhelmed by a series of blows. In order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, or to improve the difficult situation he was facing, he desperately contacted Xiliang Rongdi, promised a lot of benefits to lure the wolf into the house, and directly attracted the Rongdi barbarian army into the hinterland of Longxi.

The entire Xiliang Ganlong area was suddenly plunged into continuous wars.

……

"To be ruthless, General Ben will not lose to anyone!"

After hearing the news that hundreds of thousands of Rongdi cavalry had entered Longxi and wantonly burned and looted, Lin Sha's heart was cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes was monstrous.

Instead, Li Yuan, who was soon shrinking into the Golden City, received a big bad news. The Li clan in Taiyuan was uprooted, and Pei Renji, a Sui general sitting in Shanxi, personally did it, and hundreds of Li clans, regardless of men, women, and children, were all killed without leaving a living mouth.

Even the three generations of the Li family's relatives have been implicated and reduced to slavery for 30 years, and there will be no power to turn over within at least 50 years!

Hearing that, after Li Yuan received the news, he was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot.

Lin Sha did not sit on the front line and continue to command the battle, but handed over the command to his subordinate general Luo Shixin, who came in a hurry, and he personally led 80,000 elite soldiers back to Guanzhong. The soldiers forced the Xiongcheng Chang'an.

"Wang Shichong, give you three days to think about it, either open the city or fight to the end!"

This time, Lin Sha stood outside the Xiongcheng city of Chang'an. Talking to Wang Shichong, who was standing at the head of the city, without leaving the slightest emotion: "You have to think clearly!" ”

After speaking, he ignored Wang Shichong, who was pale, and led the army to take the initiative to retreat twenty miles.

In the blink of an eye, the situation in the Northland has changed dramatically, and the situation of the original warlord melee has disappeared. Instead, the general of the expedition to the north Lin Sha's family was dominant.

Half a month ago, the general of Zhengbei was still under the siege of several warlords, but in less than half a month, first the Turks were defeated, and then Liu Wuzhou and Liang Shi of Shuo were defeated, and then Li Tang, who was dominant for a while, was defeated.

Wang Shichong of Chang'an, who had been 'dependent on each other' with the Lin Sha Ministry alliance before, was indeed surrounded by Lin Sha's forces at this time. Looking at the north, except for Dou Jiande's family in Hebei, there is no strong force.

But just when Wang Shichong was indecisive and secretly sent people to contact Dou Jiande in Hebei, the situation in Hebei also changed abruptly.

Dou Jiande suddenly led the army out of the fortress, swept two hundred miles of grassland north of the Great Wall, swept away the Turkic tribes within the range, and then turned the muzzle of the gun and slashed into the rear of Rongdi, and fought with the Rongdi tribes left behind, and announced a shocking news at the same time: Surrender to the general of the expedition to the north!

At this moment, there is no longer a force in the north that can compete with Lin Sha!

Wang Shichong was completely dead, and on the morning of the third day reserved by Lin Sha, he first sent a messenger to Lin Sha to express his intention to serve, and then opened the gate of Chang'an to welcome Lin Sha inside.

"Wang stay at ease, you will naturally be indispensable in the future!"

Goodbye Wang Shichong, this guy is full of haggard and sluggish spirits, obviously these two days of waiting and watching have made him mentally exhausted and overwhelmed.

"I hope so!"

Wang Shichong smiled bitterly and directly became a tour guide to guide Lin Sha to lead the army into the city.

The so-called success and defeat of the king is nothing more than that, fortunately, because of the resistance to Li Tang's army, Wang Shichong's forces have been shrinking into the city, and he has not had time to be like the rest of the warlord forces, and the emperor is still holding the title of Chang'an of the Great Sui, which makes him less troublesome.

At least, there is no need to worry about the life of a family, Lin Sha still has such a small amount of tolerance.

After recovering Chang'an, the entire northern land, except for the golden city that Li Tang had shrunk from, had all fallen into the hands of Lin Sha.

Half of the world is also under the control of Lin Sha.

As for Li Tang who was shrinking into the Golden City, Lin Sha naturally had a plan to arrange and deal with it.

First, he relaxed the oppression of Jincheng and allowed Jincheng to restore contact with the outside world.

At the same time, rumors were spread that Li Yuan was ready to pass on the throne to his second son Li Shimin, because Li Yuan believed that only Li Er had the ability to turn the tide.

The most amazing thing is that I don't know if it was because he was hit too hard, or because he was already jealous of his two sons with extraordinary abilities, Li Yuan didn't come forward to refute the rumors at such a critical moment.

At this time, Li Tang's internal situation is extremely bad.

Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng continued to fight, and the undercurrent inside Jincheng was turbulent.

At the same time, Lin Sha sent an envoy directly into Jincheng, facing Li Yuan to lead his troops to withdraw from Jincheng and return to Xiliang Rongdi like the ancestors of the Li family, Lin Sha promised not to follow and pursue.

This suggestion made Li Yuan very moved, although Li Tang was opposed internally.

At the same time, the Xiliang faction and the Jincheng faction in Li Tang's army were also troubled by a rumor that had a nose and eyes, and they were at a loss for a while.

What rumors?

It is the death of the two major warlords who were rampant in Xiliang Pass, Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, and Li Liang, the king of Xiliang, who were all killed by Li Tang's **** hands, so that the two main forces could expand rapidly.

Rumors together, don't say that Xue Ju and Li Liang did die strangely, at this time when people are panicking, the undercurrent in Li Tang's army is surging in the minds of the generals of Xiliang.

Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, died the most strangely, when he raised troops in Jincheng, his soldiers were immediately 100,000 soldiers.

Li Tang entered Guanzhong at the beginning of the year, and although he won most of Guanzhong, he failed to take the most important Chang'an Xiongcheng. In order to expand the development space, he had to march westward, and as a result, he collided with the Western Qin overlord Xue Ju's department.

And the so-called Li Tang God of War Li Shimin, who was repeatedly defeated in the confrontation with Xue Ju, was made disgraced and embarrassed. If it weren't for the fact that there were heavy generals who took the blame for him, he was afraid of Li Yuan's reproach, which would be enough for Li Er to completely lose the opportunity to go further.

In order to deal with Xue Ju, who had the courage of several overlords, Li Shimin could not defeat him on the frontal battlefield, so he used some tricks to secretly move his hands and feet, so that this fierce general whose martial arts can be called the world suddenly became seriously ill, and died of illness in the army in just a few days.

If you want to say that a dignified half-step grandmaster master will suddenly get sick and die of illness in a short period of time, there is no reason why fools don't believe it, Li Tang's hand is too inauthentic.

And Li Liang, the king of Xiliang, fell for Li Tang's counter-plot, causing everyone to rebel and die of suffocation, and Li Tang's methods also made people feel shameful.

When Li Tang was in full swing, there was nothing like this, anyway, he would become a king or lose a villain.

But now Li Tang saw that the general trend had gone, and the problem of disunity within the previous large-scale army expansion was suddenly revealed, and there was a harmonious atmosphere on the surface, but secretly the undercurrent was already turbulent and not very calm.

This naked conspiracy, even if the Li father and son know about it, they are helpless, they can't order that rumors are not spread, isn't this a self-confession?

So, under the trouble of multiple factors, the Li father and son, who found that they were faintly unstable internally, cooperated heartily for a while, and found a few generals who had defected to the Western Qin and the Great Liang Kingdom from the beginning.

"Congratulations to General Hexi, half of the country is in hand, and the unification of the world is just around the corner!"

When the news came back to Chang'an, there was an uproar in Wuwenwu, and everyone knew that it was not far from the time when Lin Sha would establish the king and unify the world.

"After Li Tang's army completely withdraws from Jincheng, it's not too late to congratulate!"

Lin Sha, who already had experience as an emperor, didn't think so, what he was most looking forward to was the feedback from heaven and earth when the north was unified...... (To be continued.) )
