Li Yuan did not listen to Li Shimin's dissuasion and insisted on withdrawing his troops and returning to Taiyuan.

The order to withdraw the army has been issued, and the officers and men of the left army under Li Jiancheng, mostly composed of Taiyuan soldiers, are like arrows and immediately set off.

Li Shimin was determined to persuade Li Yuan to change his mind, and he strictly ordered his subordinate right army to stay still and wait for his final order.

At this time, the rain was urgent, and seeing the left army pulling out, Li Shimin was so anxious that he hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army to persuade his father Li Yuan.

However, it was getting late, Li Yuan had already gone to bed, and the guard sergeant did not let Li Shimin enter the tent.

-----

Li Shimin was helpless, knelt in front of the tent and cried bitterly.

Wind and rain, crying and whimpering.

Rain and tears flowed down Li Shimin's cheeks.

Thinking that after the withdrawal of the army, the great cause of destroying the Sui Dynasty might not be realized, Li Shimin was sad, and his crying became more and more miserable and sad.

------

Li Yuan was a little annoyed when he heard Li Shimin's crying in the tent, he summoned Li Shimin into the tent and asked Li Shimin, "A man doesn't flick when he has tears, but you act like this woman in the army, what kind of system do you become?"

Li Shimin straightened his rain-soaked hair and replied proudly, "I am only so sad because I feel that the death of our father and son is near."

Li Yuan struck several cases with his palm, and reprimanded, "Nonsense."

At this time, there were only Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son in the tent, and Li Shimin no longer had any scruples, if he gave in again, it would definitely lead to a big mistake. Without any fear, he asked Li Yuan, "After these tens of thousands of troops return to the division, how will Grandpa be settled? If there is no fighting, how much rations will be consumed each month?"

Li Yuan hadn't thought about it yet, and was silent when he saw Li Shimin's question.

------

Li Shimin analyzed to Li Yuan, "If Liu Wuzhou does not invade Taiyuan, tens of thousands of troops will still need to consume military rations every day, and they will be unable to continue for a long time, and Grandpa will have to dismiss them. But after the dismissal, it will not be easy to gather again. When the time comes, the imperial court will send troops to recruit and suppress in the south, and the strong enemies of the Turks and Liu Wuzhou will attack in the north, and the time of death of our father and son will come."

Li Yuan woke up suddenly after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Now that the army has been deployed, what should I do?"

Li Shimin replied, "The right army has not yet set up camp, and the left army has just left, so it is estimated that it will not be too far, so I will chase them back."

Li Yuan only showed a smile on his face at this time, and said to Li Shimin, "The success or failure of our waiting is now tied to you, and we can only do what you say."

With Li Yuan's approval, Li Shimin hurriedly went out of the account and arranged for the eldest grandson Shunde, Liu Hongji, and Dou Cong to strictly control the right army, and he and Duan Zhixuan went to recover the left army overnight.

------

On 28 July, Shen Shu'an and others returned from Taiyuan County and brought military rations.

On the first day of August, the autumn rain stopped and the weather cleared.

On the second day of the first month of August, Li Yuan ordered to cool his armor, ordnance, and outfit. Li Shimin and Duan Zhixuan went to Huoyi to investigate again by night, and Song Laosheng curled up in the city and did not come out, and the main roads and mountain roads were not fortified. Li Shimin was glad that Song Laosheng would not use troops, leaving an opportunity for Li Yuan's army to attack Huoyi.

------

In the early morning of the third day of August, Li Yuan led the whole army to start early in the morning.

Walking to the road, Li Yuan was still worried, afraid that Song Laosheng would hold on to the city and refuse to go out of the city to fight.

Li Shimin smiled and reassured Li Yuan, "Song Laosheng has courage and no strategy, as long as we act according to the proposed strategy, he will definitely go out of the city to face the battle."

Before noon, the army marched to the mouth of the valley of the bend, Li Yuan ordered his subordinates to take the mountain road instead, under the cover of the dense forest, to the southeast, and rushed to the east gate of Huoyi County.

In the early afternoon, Li Yuan led hundreds of light horsemen to the east of Huoyi City, and stopped five or six miles away from the city to wait for the follow-up troops.

------

While waiting for the rear army, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng each led dozens of horsemen to inspect from the east of the city to the southwest of the city, and pointed at various places in the south of the city, as if discussing how to camp in the south of the city.

In Huoyi City, Song Laosheng had learned the news of Li Yuan's arrival with his army, he didn't expect Li Yuan to come so quickly, and he didn't arrive at the north gate, he came directly to the east gate, it seems that he has to camp in the south of the city, and there is a tendency to encircle Huoyi from the north, east and south.

Huoyi faces Fenshui in the west of the city, the autumn rain has been falling for half a month, and now the water is urgent, if Li Yuan's army camps in the south of the city, it will cut off the only road from Huoyi to the east of the river, and Huoyi will become a dead city.

------

Song Laosheng is a martial arts general from the fourth grade, from a humble background, in recent years to catch a small group of thieves to accumulate military merits, to be promoted, has never experienced a large battle before, the art of war strategy is ignorant, is a brave and unscrupulous martial arts.

Now Song Laosheng saw in the city that Li Yuan's army was rushing to the east gate in a steady stream, and the vanguard troops were checking the terrain in the south of the city, preparing to camp to cut off his back road, he was very anxious, and urgently ordered the army in the city to assemble, and led the troops out of the city from the east and south gates, and the defenders in the city almost poured out, and set up a military formation in the east of the city, forming a confrontation with Li Yuan's army.

------

Li Yuan ordered the infantry to be in the center, Li Shimin led the cavalry of the right army in the south, and Li Jiancheng led the cavalry of the left army in the north.

Li Shimin prepared to cut off the retreat of the Huoyi defenders to the south gate; Li Jiancheng prepared to cut off the retreat of the Huoyi defenders to the east gate.

Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Li Jiancheng had already considered in advance that if Song Laosheng fought with his back to the county and was too close to the city, their strategy would not be easy to implement. Therefore, it is necessary to induce Song Laosheng to lead the army away from the city.

------

When Song Laosheng led the army out of the city, Li Yuan ordered the army to retreat slowly, making a cowardly appearance.

Song Laosheng saw the "righteous army" retreating, thinking that the other party was afraid of him, so he ordered the army to press forward, and only after leaving the city more than a mile did he set up the military formation.

------

The defenders of Huoyi had an unstable foothold, and Li Shimin led the cavalry to fight out from the south and attack the defenders' southern flank and western flank. At the same time, the retreat of the defenders to the south gate was cut off.

Li Jiancheng led the cavalry to fight from the north, and went west to take the east gate of Huoyi City, and at the same time attacked the northern flank of the defenders.

Li Yuan led the infantry and rushed north from the east to kill.

Before the drums of war sounded, the blades had been received, and the sound of rushing and killing resounded in the sky, and the "righteous army" instantly formed a situation of encirclement on all sides of the Huoyi defenders.

------

When the battle was not long, Li Yuan ordered people to shout that Song Laosheng had been killed, and the defenders of Huoyi thought it was true when they heard it, and the army was in turmoil, and they rushed to flee to the city gate.

However, the road leading to the south gate has been cut off by the cavalry led by Li Shimin, and the road leading to the east gate has been cut off by Li Jiancheng.

The trapped beasts were still fighting, and the besieged Huoyi defenders were still overwhelmingly flocking to the east gate, and Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng led the cavalry to intercept and kill in the west.

Li Shimin and Duan Zhixuan fought side by side and killed the defenders who fled to the east gate. He rode a Tengshuang BMW to rush left and right, slashing dozens of enemy soldiers and soldiers, his sleeves were stained red with blood, and his face was covered with blood.

In the face of the Huoyi rout that was still pouring up, Li Shimin reined in his horse and shouted, "Enter the former and die", like a god. The rout was frightened and did not dare to move forward.

------

Song Laosheng saw that the army's heart was in turmoil, and he had no intention of fighting again, so he galloped to the east gate, but the city gate was closed at this time. Song Laosheng came to the city wall and shouted to the city, the defenders at the head of the city hung down the rope, Song Laosheng dismounted, ready to jump into the moat and climb the rope to go up to the city.

At some moment, Liu Hongji drove the night charm BMW and rushed to his head, and Song Laosheng's brain burst and fell to the ground. Liu Hongji dismounted, took a knife and cut off Song Laosheng's head, picked it on the lance, and drove the horse around the field and shouted, "Song Laosheng has been beheaded!"

When the remnants of Huoyi's defeated army saw that the commander had been given the head, they were all frightened, and they threw down their weapons and surrendered to the "righteous army".

------

The "Righteous Army" did not arrive in Huoyi from time to time, and the two sabers met each other at the time of Shen, and it took less than half an hour from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle outside the city.

After the battle outside the city, the morale of the whole army was high, Li Yuan ordered to continue the siege of the city, there were no siege equipment, and the officers and soldiers climbed the city with their bare hands. Only a few old and weak soldiers remained in the city, and they fled without a fight.

The "Righteous Army" Shen Shi began to attack the city, and occupied the entire Huoyi by the time of You.

------

At dusk, Li Shimin walked to the city.

It is the red sun sinking in the west, the distant mountains like daisies, and the remnant sun like blood.

Above the city, red and white flags were planted all over the city, the autumn breeze rose, and Li Shimin's robe was stained with sweat and blood, and he felt a little cool.

Looking eastward, within a few miles, corpses were strewn all over the field, and stumps were all over the ground.

The four fields that were still killing the sky just now have fallen silent.

The tired birds in the sky returned to the forest, and the military horns whimpered, crying like a complaint.

------

Li Shimin looked at the zombies all over the ground, and sighed that thousands of lives had returned to other places in an instant.

Under the chaos, there is no distinction between good and evil, the sword is ruthless, and the loyalty and treachery are not distinguished, but after thinking about it, after a vicious battle, I don't know how many parents have lost their sons, and how many families have lost the pillars of the family.

When the prancing horse rushed to kill, he was arrogant, but now he meditates and is sad.

Li Shimin prayed in his heart, but he hoped that after this battle was established, there would be less desperate fighting, and wherever the army went, the defenders everywhere could look at the wind and surrender.

------

On the fourth day of the eighth month, Li Yuan comforted the officials and people in Huoyi City, and exempted all the subordinates of Song Laosheng from punishment and awarded official positions according to the corresponding ranks. Select strong men to persuade them to join the army, and for those whose homes are in Guanzhong and want to return to their hometowns, all of them will be awarded to loose officials above the fifth grade, and let them return home.

Song Laosheng, who was defeated and died, did not insult him at all, and used the etiquette of a four-grade official to bury him.

One by one, the prisoners of war were rejoiced, and they were all happy and encouraged, and they were willing to follow their orders.

------

After comforting the Huoyi officials and people, the military flag pointed south, and the army continued to the south.

On the eighth day of August, Linfen surrendered without a fight.

On August 12, when he arrived in Jiangzhou, the county guard Chen Shuda did not surrender and led his troops to refuse.

On August 13, Li Yuan ordered the righteous army to attack the city at the right time, and in less than two hours, occupy the whole city.

The county guard Chen Shuda and his subordinates restrained themselves when they saw Li Yuan pleading guilty, but Li Yuan did not punish anyone as if nothing had happened, and officials at all levels were still appointed to official positions according to their original positions.

------

On August 15, we arrived at Longmen.

According to Li Shimin's plan, instead of attacking the defenders of Qututong in Hedong, he would go west from Longmen, cross the Yellow River through Fenyin, and after crossing the Yellow River, he would pass through Hancheng and Haoyang to directly occupy Yongfengcang. Then the soldiers came to the city of Chang'an.

As for the next route of the march, the generals of the "Rebels" had different opinions.

Pei Lin thought that he should choose to capture Hedong and then move his troops westward.
