Chapter 836: The Situation in the Northland
Li Shimin played tricks with the Sui army in Luoyang......
What 'diverting the tiger from the mountain', 'attacking the heart' and other tactics came out, and the Luoyang Sui army gathered at the door of the mansion was full of wits and courage.
I have to say, this guy's brain is very bright.
At least Wang Er, who was responsible for commanding the Sui army in Luoyang to surround Li Er's mansion, was played around by him, and he was often so angry that he jumped like thunder.
But while playing, Li Shimin sensed that something was wrong.
Why is the performance of the Sui army so clumsy, it doesn't look like a famous general commanding at all.
This puzzled him for most of the day, until he figured out the true identity of his opponent, and then he realized that the Sui general who had been fighting wits and courage with him was not Lin Sha, the general of the expedition to the north, as he thought, but just the commander of Lin Sha's personal guard battalion, a little-known and unknown person.
This makes Li Shimin very sad, Nima's is too despised by people, right?
But the facts are the facts, Lin Sha has all the opportunities, how can he have the time and kung fu to fight with him in a small fight, Li Er has this leisure and leisure, he doesn't have this free time.
When Li Shimin figured out the specific plans of the Sui army, he didn't have to win in the battle of wits and courage with him, as long as he could be completely dragged in Luoyang, he was dumbfounded.
"Lin Zhengbei, bastard!"
When Li Er received an urgent letter from his father Li Yuan, through his master, the content of the letter was very simple, that is, he should quickly rush back to Guanzhong to preside over the military operation against Chang'an, and his tone was stern and not polite at all, obviously Li Yuan was very angry at him for not returning.
Li Er suddenly realized that he only cared about fighting wits and courage with Wang Er, and ******** used various means to tease Wang Er's fight, and every time he heard that this guy was so angry that he was in a good mood, he felt comfortable, but he unexpectedly fell into the arms of Lin Sha, the general of the expedition to the north.
It seems to be a victory and a defeat!
Lin Sha achieved his goal, no matter how proud Li Shimin was in the process. But the final result was that Li Er was completely depressed.
Speaking of the Chang'an War, with Wang Shichong's return to Chang'an as soon as possible, the precarious situation in Chang'an was quickly stabilized. And firmly blocked Li Tang's army outside Chang'an City.
Wang Shichong is not easy to mess with, and to be honest, his military talent is also very average. The repeated great achievements made in the suppression of bandits in the south were also based on some intrigues and tricks and petty means that could not be put on the table.
But I have to say that he can become one of the few warlords in the world in the original history and the original books of the Tang Dynasty, and he still has some ability.
Especially in terms of employing people, this guy's ability is no worse than Li Er's, and the bandits who have been recruited by his subordinates are all brave and good at fighting. Let Li Tang's army eat again and again, and the soldiers under Chang'an City will not be able to advance an inch for many days.
Li Jiancheng is indeed very capable, but that is in terms of internal politics, and he is completely a layman in military affairs.
Although he tried his best to do his best, every time he did what he wanted, Li Tang's hundreds of thousands of troops could not advance under Chang'an City, no matter how good his internal affairs skills were, this alone was wiped out.
However, Li Yuanji's team performed well, quickly stood out in the battle, and became a rising star in Li Tang's army. But it's just a star. If you want to reach the level of a handsome talent like Li Er, there is still a big gap.
This is also an important reason why Li Yuan is in a hurry to summon Li Er to return to Guanzhong, if Li Er does not come back. The unification of Li Tang's army was problematic.
The composition of Li Tang's army is very complex, with both old subordinates who followed Li Yuan to raise troops, as well as people from all walks of life who have recently joined. There are soldiers of the Sui army, there are bandits and grass coles, and there are strange armies like the Women's Army, in short, the internal chaos needs a commander who is very good at reconciliation.
And Li Er played such a role.
Neither Li Yuan, nor Li Jiancheng, nor Li Yuanji have this ability. This is what makes Li Er unique. It can be said that Li Tang's most indispensable role is him, at least during the war years.
Of course. If you want to talk about the ability to command, Li Xiuning is not far behind Li Shimin. It's even stronger, and the Women's Army is the best example.
It's a pity that neither Li Tang's men nor the generals in Li Tang's army are very happy to be pressed on the head by a woman. This made Li Xiuning, a good commander, completely buried, and I don't know when he will come out.
After Wang Shichong stabilized the situation in Chang'an, he immediately sent a letter to Lin Sha asking for help, asking Lin Sha to fulfill his promise that day and send troops to attack the rear of Li Tang's troops to relieve the pressure on the defenders of Chang'an.
"This guy can beat snakes with sticks!"
After receiving the letter, Lin Sha smiled and threw it aside, not bothering to pay attention to it at all.
He left Li Er in Luoyang, which is the best support for Chang'an, isn't this enough to have to go to the army?
Lin Sha sneered, Wang Shichong just wanted to maintain his own strength, and he actually paid attention to the Sui army in Henan, but he was just a guy who was not greedy enough.
"Let Luo Shixin send more elite scouts, just make a show!"
Of course, as an ally, Lin Sha couldn't do nothing, he immediately ordered Luo Shixin, who was stationed in Tongguan, to send some men and horses to make a show, and don't send a large army out of a hot mind.
According to reliable information, in order to take the important city of Tongguan just in case, Li Tang deployed tens of thousands of troops nearby, and when the defenders of Tongguan were dispatched, they came to catch turtles in an urn.
After receiving the order, Luo Shixin did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent a large number of elite scouts to disperse within a radius of fifty miles around Tongguan, fighting with the scouts sent by Li Tang.
For a time, the battle clouds in Guanzhong were thick, and the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the blood stained the entire Chang'an and Tongguan areas.
With Tongguan Xiongcheng in hand, Lin Sha and the Henan Sui army under him can grasp the first-hand information of the Guanzhong War at any time, and can calmly deal with it and take the initiative.
Although the number of troops that can be concentrated is extremely amazing, because of the uneven quality of Li Tang's army, the combat effectiveness is the worst of the three major forces in the entire Guanzhong.
Wang Shichong of Chang'an sits in Xiongcheng, with strong troops in his hands, abundant materials, grain and grass, as long as there is no chaos in Chang'an, Li Tang wants to take Chang'an in a short time, it is simply a fool's dream.
But because of his strength, Wang Shichong was completely sealed in Chang'an City, and he could only be forced to be a dog guarding the household, but he was unable to expand his territory to the outside world.
This is also why Wang Shichong still regards himself as a Sui minister, and he has not been as low-key as in history and in the original book.
As the imperial capital of the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an City is full of powerful and wealthy families in the city, and the situation is complicated and chaotic.
Although Wang Shichong is a hero in the world, he is not as ruthless as Lin Sha, and he can not hesitate to face off with the Hebei family. Most of the powerful and wealthy families in Chang'an City had an ambiguous relationship with Li Tang, and Wang Shichong was extremely worried about the broken thread, but he didn't have the courage to make up his mind to make a ruthless move.
This makes the situation of the Chang'an War confusing, and it is even more difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, but this result is very much in line with Lin Sha's wishes.
Another force in Guanzhong is the Sui general Luo Shixin who was stationed in Tongguan.
Because of the support of the entire Henan Sui army, although Luo Shixin's troops at hand are only tens of thousands, they are enough to influence the situation in Guanzhong.
The first Chang'an War, because of the intervention of the Sui army in Henan, made Li Tang's plan to annex Chang'an leak at a critical moment and missed the opportunity.
Because of this matter, Tongguan can be said to be a stinger in the heart of Li Tang's army, and if he doesn't pull it out, he will hurt himself and hurt himself, which is a headache for Li Tang's high-level leaders.
This year, Luo Shixin has been assassinated frequently, although he can always turn danger into a disaster, but the number of assassinations has increased, and the anger in Luo Shixin's faith has also accumulated deeper and deeper, and now he and Li Tang have almost become an endless situation.
What Lin Sha needs is such a situation.
When he completely freed his hands, he could lead the army to sweep directly through Guanzhong and deal a devastating blow to Li Tang's army.
At present, Li Tang, whether it is the same period as the real history or the same period of the original book, is not half a star, and he failed to win the entire Guanzhong at the first time, especially the key point of Chang'an, and did not completely seal the external channel of Guanzhong, so that Li Tang could not rest and recuperate and accumulate strength, relying on years of accumulation can be maintained for a long time, but if the situation continues like this, it is estimated that Li Tang's life will be extremely sad.
In addition to the confusing situation in Guanzhong, the situation in Taiyuan, Li Tang's hometown, has gradually become clear.
The generals Pei Renji and Cheng Yanjin, under the command of the general of Zhengbei, took advantage of the favorable opportunity of Li Tang's main force to manage Guanzhong wholeheartedly, and recovered most of Shanxi, including Taiyuan, in one fell swoop.
This is a very happy thing, but things are often unexpected. At the time of recovering Yanmen Pass, the Turks suddenly sent troops to insert a pole for some reason.
Pei Renji and Cheng Biting Jin Shuai's troops fought hard, and it took almost a lot of effort to barely keep the powerful Turkic soldiers and horses out of Yanmen Pass.
However, Pei Renji and Cheng Biting Jinbu suffered heavy losses and injured their vitality, and their men and horses were not left in three or four, and they basically lost their combat capability. If it weren't for the Yanmen Pass, I am afraid that they would not be able to stop the southward pace of the Turkic iron cavalry.
But even so, Pei Renji and Cheng Yanjin did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and reported the battle situation to Lin Sha as soon as possible, and asked Lin Sha to send troops to help quickly.
In the emergency report, Pei Renji and Cheng Yanjin also said another important thing. That is, in the Turkic army, there are a group of skilled fighters with high martial arts to help. They were all strong and strong, and their martial arts were at least second-rate or above, causing great casualties and distress to the Sui army in the battle for Yanmen Pass.
What's even more infuriating is that Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, two or five boys, actually followed the Turkic army to kill together, and even did the siege vanguard for a while, and almost climbed the Yanmen Pass Tower, only making the veteran Pei Renji angry enough, and scolding in front of the two armies regardless of their image.
Bang!
Looking at the urgent report in his hand, the fine porcelain tea cup that Lin Sha was playing with in his other hand was instantly crushed and turned into a puff of broken dust that fell down the gap between his fingers...... (To be continued.) )
