If you want to talk about the battle of Qianshuiyuan, you have to start from the 13th year of Sui Daye (617), Xue Ju and his son Xue Rengao raised troops from Gansu, proclaimed themselves the overlord of Western Qin, gathered as many as 130,000 people, occupied the land of Longxi, and then called the emperor and moved the capital to Tianshui. In May of the same year, Li Yuan raised troops in Taiyuan and took advantage of the opportunity of the Wagang Army to contain Wang Shichong in Luoyang to enter Guanzhong, using Chang'an as a base.

In this way, Xue Ju's Western Qin became the enemy that Li Tang had to eliminate before he won the Central Plains, so it is not surprising that when Li Yuan changed his name to emperor in May 618, he would take the extermination of Xue Ju and Xue Rengao's father and son as the first battle of the founding of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, it was Xue Ju who took the initiative to invade Jing, Feng, and Qishu Prefectures, which gave Li Tang a legitimate opportunity to annex them.

This campaign began in the second month after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, with Li Shimin as the marshal of the west, and under him the marshal Shi Liu Wenjing and the army Sima Yin Kaishan led the eight general soldiers. The beginning of the battle was quite unsmooth, first Li Shimin was suffering from malaria and could not command, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan attacked the enemy, resulting in the defeat of the eight commanders, Li Anyuan, Liu Hongji, and Murong Luohu were captured, and the loss of troops was countless.

In desperation, Li Yuan wrote a letter to Li Liang, who occupied Liangzhou, to join forces, and on the other hand, asked the rest of the governors to send troops to reinforce Li Shimin, who was advancing to the high jaw to confront Xue's army. It was in this context that the East China Sea Team, as the governor of Liyang, supported Li Shimin's forces to intervene in this battle that was nearing the end.

In Sima Fuqiang's view, this is a good entry point, so that the East China Sea team can naturally switch camps, but I am afraid that there will be no benefits tonight.

According to the progress of the battle of Shallow Water Plain, Xue Ju had died of illness at this time, and his son Xue Rengao was suffering from the enemy at the moment, and the grain route was cut off. After holding on to Li Tang's army for nearly sixty days, the Xue army had already begun to suffer from famine at this time, and even without Li Shimin's intervention, they were basically on the verge of collapse.

Just when the dream of the East China Sea team entered the Tang Army camp located in Gaogu, he saw the Xue army general Liang Hulang coming to surrender, and Li Shimin received the East China Sea team after settling this person.

Li Shimin's big tent is not something that anyone can enter, especially the East China Sea team, including Xiao Qi, there are nine people, and it is really noisy for such a group of people to enter the big tent together, so it is still Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi as representatives to meet Li Shimin.

After receiving Li Shiji's letter from Sima Fuqiang, the famous Tang Taizong read it silently, and the two dreamers also took this opportunity to admire the great man's appearance.

Li Shimin is worthy of being a Hu-Han mixed-race with a quarter of Xianbei blood, his appearance and contours have the unique depth and charm of mixed-race children, with clear contours and three-dimensional facial features, even from the perspective of modern people, he is still a handsome and handsome guy. Due to the relationship between Rong Ma and Ma Liang, the skin also shows a very masculine wheat color, and the figure is also lean and straight, even if he stands there quietly, it is as eye-catching as the banner of the Chinese army.

It stands to reason that with Li Shimin's conditions, the two Donghai who are also men should have felt a little jealous, but they couldn't have this kind of thought. This man, who is known as the emperor of the ages, exudes a broad affinity and compatibility between his gestures, which is a charm of both men and women, which makes people want to die for him.

Sima Fuqiang even doubted whether Li Shimin also had the same "social" skills as Huang Zhi, and he could let himself lose his mind, and for a while he forgot the grand hegemony of the East China Sea territory, and only wanted to devote himself to his command to fight for it.

Arinoshi said that Liang Hulang, the general of the Western Qin Dynasty, had come to deceive him, and Sima Fuqiang had always scoffed at this statement. But at this moment, he was relieved, it didn't matter whether Ye Shi's statement was correct or not, no matter whether that Liang Hulang really had a different heart or not, he would obviously give up his original intention under the influence of this man's charm. To be the enemy of such a man with an incomparable aura of charm is quite unwise in any case.

At the beginning, Li Shimin only regarded Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi as two ordinary generals sent by Li Shiji to Sasuke, but when he read the letter, his face couldn't help but be moved, and he actually bypassed the case and came to the two of them, and greeted them cordially.

"The loyal, righteous, wise and brave people who can be recommended by the pure ministers and Mao Gong will definitely be the virtuous ministers and good generals of my Tang Dynasty, and it is the luck of the people of the world to be able to get your help! Datang's luck! Li Shimin gave them a high evaluation.

Sima Fuqiang humbly responded to the praise of the Qin King of the Tang Dynasty on the surface, but he was proud in his heart. Today's Donghai team is so favored by Li Shimin, which is inseparable from the choice he made in the Battle of Blackstone, and it is also a person like him who has studied historical figures to his bones and dares to make such a long-term investment.

In other words, a person who does not know enough about Li Shiji to Li Tang would never dare to easily give up the status of his team that he had worked hard in the Wagang Army, so he chose to give up so freely, just to leave an impression of loyalty and righteousness in Li Shiji's mind. Now Sima Fuqiang's long-term investment has returned beyond imagination, and through the unreserved trust of the Li royal family in this "pure minister" who is the only one with the surname Li, he has successfully established the first impression of a loyal and good general in Li Shimin's mind.

And they were able to enter Li Shimin's vision so quickly and leave such a deep impression, it can be said that Sima Fuqiang's contribution far exceeded Huang Zhi's "socialization", which was also the first time in the history of the Donghai team. But this kind of experience is basically irreproducible, except for the British Duke Li Shiji, in the dream of the main line war experienced by the East China Sea team, there is really no second general with such influence on the sovereign.

So in addition to being proud, the rest of the work still has to rely on Huang Zhi to carry out according to the old rules, and Sima Fuqiang doesn't think that he has the ability to do all of this single-handedly.

Huang Zhi looked at the face of the future Tang Taizong in front of him, and according to the captain's prior instructions, he "suddenly" asked, "Is King Qin unwell?" ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, and first pulled the two of them to sit down, and then replied disapprerovingly, "I was infected with malaria before, and I am afraid that this disease cannot be cured." ”

Li Shimin's statement is not unreasonable, before the discovery of cinchona frost in the 17th century, malaria was basically an incurable disease, which could only be controlled but not broken. However, Huang Zhihui suddenly and knowingly raised this question at this time, obviously to use this as a starting point to further strengthen the relationship between the East China Sea team and Li Shimin. Although the cinchona was still in 618, the East China Sea team had a goddess doctor Li Sha.

Before coming to see Li Shimin, the people in the dream studied this problem together for a long time, and finally confirmed that the "treatment" of the C rank can indeed clean up the stubborn malaria parasite. Malaria is also known as cold and fever, and from the professional point of view of Li Sha's "treatment" exclusive skill, this should be a kind of "abnormal state", and the effect of this skill's C rank "Expulsion" happens to be aimed at the abnormal state, which is worth betting on by the East China Sea team.

Hearing that there was still a miracle doctor who came with the two, Li Shimin also accepted their kindness with the idea that he would not suffer a loss if he gave it a try, and asked his subordinates to summon Li Sha, who had been waiting outside.

After briefly introducing herself to Li Shimin, Li Sha immediately threw herself into the treatment work. Li Sha herself is a professional medical worker in the real world, and she knows a little bit about the malaria that King Qin suffers from.

Malaria is an insect-borne infectious disease caused by infection with Plasmodium parasite through the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes, and half of the clinical symptoms are chills, fever and sweating of the periodic surname, and most of them occur in summer and autumn, with a certain infectious surname.

What Li Sha has to do now is to rely on the C effect of "treatment" to "expel out" the malaria parasite lurking in Li Shimin's body, so that malaria can be cured.

Li Sha's skills lived up to expectations, Li Shimin only felt a tingling sensation in his body, and then he was refreshed and sank away, and couldn't help but praise Li Sha's magical medical skills, and even looked up to the East China Sea team.

Due to the crushing defeat of the Wagang army at the Battle of Bishan in September, Wang Shichong's Sui army, Li Mi immediately surrendered to Tang. At the beginning of October, Xu Shiji was incorporated and given the surname Li, and then the East China Sea team entered the main line of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to find Li Shiji. By the time they arrived at the high jaw where Li Shimin was, it was already the first day of November, and it was only a week before the eighth day of November when Xue Rengao surrendered in the Battle of Shallow Waterplain.

Therefore, the East China Sea team joined at this time, that is, to see the lively life, it is really impossible to become Li Shimin's confidant and give him advice. In Sima Fuqiang's opinion, it is already quite good to be able to get acquainted with Li Shimin, and strive to enter the core class of Li Shimin's faction in Li Tang's camp when he enters this main line again next week.

However, unexpectedly, his "sand table deduction" skills can be said to be famous, and it is estimated that Li Shiji focused on this matter in his letter, so Li Shimin actually arranged a task for the East China Sea team for the first time, asking them to make sand tables in several strategic places near Gaoqi for military discussion. The final battle of the battle is named after the shallow water plain, which is about 20 miles southwest of the high jaw.

The Tokai team still caught the last train of the Battle of Shallow Waterplain.

Being able to quickly integrate into Li Tang's camp, why not Sima Fuqiang, and immediately led his teammates to run around, familiarizing himself with the terrain around Gaoji. After returning to the camp, a lifelike sand table was made overnight for the purpose of the military discussion.

The next morning, that is, on the second day of the first month of November, due to the latest news brought by Liang Hulang, the general of the Western Qin army, Xue Rengao ran out of food. Therefore, Li Shimin and his advisers agreed that the Xue army would not continue to hold on, and was bound to fight to the death with the Tang army within a day or two. Therefore, he summoned a group of advisers and the commanders and generals of the troops to come to the meeting.

As representatives of the East China Sea team, Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi were also fortunate to attend, but at this time, they also knew that they had not yet gained a firm foothold in the Li Tang camp.

Li Shimin first introduced the newly descended Liang Hulang to everyone, and asked him to explain Xue Rengao's situation. Liang Hulang briefly explained the situation of Xue Rengao's lack of food, and affirmed that Zong Luohu, another fierce general of Western Qin, would bring his elite to challenge again in two days, and if the Tang army was willing to engage him at that time, Zong Luohu would inevitably attack rashly and starvingly.

As long as the Tang military first makes arrangements according to this situation, there will be something to be done. And once Zong Luohu, who is known as the first fierce general of Western Qin, is defeated, Xue Rengao will definitely panic, which will lead to the morale of the Western Qin army that has run out of food even lower, and it will not be difficult to take its stronghold without blood.

With Liang Hulang, a general who was well aware of the situation of the Western Qin army, a group of generals under the King of Qin immediately became active, and they quickly selected the location of the battle with Zong Luohu according to the sand table made by Sima Fuqiang, which was the shallow water plain southwest of the high jaw that was the most favorable to the Tang army.

After a morning of deliberations, the people quickly reached a result, and immediately put the arrangements in the resolution into place on the heads of the generals, and immediately began to implement them.

First of all, Liang Shi, the head of the marching army, led a group to camp in the shallow water plain, and induced Zong Luohu to attack and lead the Western Qin iron cavalry to attack, but he couldn't hold on and frustrated his sharpness. Then, around the fifth day of the first month of November, let Pang Yu, the general of the Right Marquis, lead the infantry army to line up in the south of the shallow water plain, and at that time, Zong Luohu would definitely not be able to resist attacking Pang Yu to vent his resentment. At this time, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who had been lying in ambush in Gaojaw, personally led the cavalry of the Tang army, which was not dominant, to launch a surprise attack from behind.

Sima Fuqiang nodded when he heard this, Li Shimin and his generals basically restored the original appearance of history truthfully, and the process of this battle was basically like this.

Although he and Huang Zhi did not express any opinions at the military meeting, because Li Shimin specially introduced them, the generals also remembered these two people, especially Sima Fuqiang's sand table skills. As for Huang Zhi, although he hadn't shown anything outstanding at this time, he quickly became familiar with everyone with his "social" skills.

But during this period, Huang Zhi keenly noticed that one of the generals attending the meeting was acting a little abnormally, and whenever he noticed this person, the other party's eyes always flashed, and he did not dare to look at him. Moreover, other generals will be impressed by Huang Zhi's "social" skills, and will chat with him more or less and introduce themselves. Only this person was completely unaffected, and did not have any communication with Huang Zhi.

Then the conclusion is already obvious, this person should be the dream person who joined Li Tang's camp one step ahead of the Donghai team. It's just that I don't know which team he represents behind him, and how high their position is in Li Tang's camp, and to what extent they have influence on Li Shimin. These questions lingered in Huang Zhi's heart, like choking.

The Battle of Shallow Waterplain, which was originally quite simple for the Tokai team, also became confusing because Huang Zhi discovered the accident of the other Dream Man teams.

Although the Donghai team was not able to directly participate in the battle of Shallow Water Plain, they had something to do during the week they stayed on the main line of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and they had to find out the details of this person and the team behind him as soon as possible. However, this is not difficult for Huang Zhi, he found a veteran who knew the roots of Li Tang's camp, and quickly found out the details of the other party.

The person on Huang Zhi's "hookup" is Liu Wenjing, who has a close relationship with Tang Gaozu Li Yuan, and is the main planner of Li Tang's Taiyuan army, and is quite optimistic about Li Shimin, which can be regarded as a bridge between Li Shimin's father and son. It's a pity that he repeatedly opposed him because of jealousy and resentment with Li Yuan's most trusted Pei Lian, and was finally killed by Li Yuan in 619 because of his wild words. Otherwise, as long as he can fulfill his duties in peace, it is very likely that the course of history will be changed because of this, and the Xuanwumen change will not happen.

This marshal's mansion governor Shi was dissatisfied with his status in the Li Tang camp, and always thought that he should be on an equal footing with Pei Lian, so at this moment, Huang Zhi took the initiative to talk to him, so that he had another object to scratch, and soon poured out all the doors of the Li Tang camp, so that Huang Zhi quickly obtained the information he wanted.

The mysterious dreamer was called Wang Hu, and his seven companions claimed to be from the Central Plains, and they came to Li Tang as early as 617 when Taiyuan raised troops. However, Wang Hu's influence as a military commander is obviously not high enough, and Yu Jun is also a figure who can't say much, just come to the Battle of Shallow Water Plains to mix up qualifications in order to go further.

Wang Hu's so-called Central Plains people are obvious in Huang Zhi's opinion, and that is the pronoun of the Central Plains team. According to Sima Fuqiang's understanding of the Tang Dynasty's nine-rank Zhongzheng system, Wang Hu's position as a military Sima is almost the same as that of the five-rank army, which is comparable to his own Dingyuan general, as long as the Donghai team spends more time running the main line of the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is possible to surpass the Central Plains team.

It's just that I didn't expect Li Shiji's energy to be so great that he could grant such a status to Sima Fuqiang, who had just joined Li Tang's camp, and save the Donghai team from the hard work of working hard. This can be regarded as Sima Fuqiang's expectation, but at the same time, it is beyond expectations.

Even when he was in the Wagang camp, he was just a scattered miscellaneous captain, at best a middle-level officer of about seven grades, and there was still a distance from worshipping the general. According to his assumption, even if the contribution of the East China Sea team in the Wagang camp can be inherited by the Li Tang camp, it will only be an official reinstatement, and it is impossible for such a good thing as a promotion.

However, now that good things have indeed happened, it can only be said that Sima Fuqiang, who is familiar with the history of the Sui and Tang dynasties, still underestimated Li Shiji's energy.

After confirming the identity of Wang Hu of the Central Plains team, the Donghai team was also a little relieved, after all, the two teams had no intersection before, and friendship could not be discussed, but hatred was also absent. As long as everyone maintains due restraint, they can still be under Li Shimin's account, after all, the Li Tang camp and Li Shimin, the king of Qin, are on the rise at the moment, and everyone can still have a long time to show their skills to fight for better seats, and they will never fight to the death at the beginning, so that other teams can benefit.

But just when Huang Zhi was just breathing a sigh of relief, a familiar face suddenly appeared in the camp of Marshal Xiqiu, a face that could not make him feel at ease. The appearance of this person already means that the East China Sea team will never be calm in the future in Li Tang's camp, and there will even be only an irresolvable battle between life and death.

"Team Nanhai! Jia Junshi! He's coming, too! ”
