coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes
Just when the Chang'an restructuring was in full swing.
The situation in the river changed again, Li Keyong gave up attacking Jiangzhou, retreated to Xizhou, Wang Chong's division of 5,000 Cai soldiers pursued, fell into a heavy ambush, lost Wang Chongshi's bravery, Cai soldiers are good at fighting, 1,000 remnants of the army out of the encirclement, did not dare to meet Jiangzhou, to the south of Shaanzhou Liu Zhijun to go.
This was a rare defeat for Zhu Wen since he formed the Caizhou Army.
Zhu Wen, who was in Luoyang, heard the news of the defeat and didn't care about punishing Wang Chongshi, so he joined Shucong's army of 80,000 troops to enter Jiangzhou.
Jiangzhou is located in the center of the entire river, only three or four hundred miles away from Hezhongfu.
After Zhu Wen sent the general Niu Cunjie to lead the 30,000 troops to Chen Bing in the city of Hezhongfu, Wang Ke surrendered directly.
As a result, the entire Hezhong Province, except for Xizhou in the north, fell into the hands of Zhu Wen.
Moreover, except for Wang Chong's division which was heavily damaged and Zhang Cunjing's division suffered losses, the other divisions were intact, and the number of troops in Jiangzhou alone reached 120,000.
After Zhu Wentun conquered Jiangzhou, Yuzhou in the south was under his attack from both sides.
Tongguan and Pusaka are all under its troops.
After Li Keyong retreated to Xizhou, he did not move, followed Guo Chongtao's advice, cultivated his troops, and sat and watched the wind and clouds in the river.
Luoyang's steady stream of supplies was transported to Jiangzhou, and Zhu Wen drew his sword and looked around, as if he was considering the next opponent.
"The king, the last general thinks that at this time, Shatuo Xiao'er is frightened, our army can raise troops to the north, go straight to Taiyuan, capture and kill Li Ya'er, and the general trend of the world will be returned to the king!" General Ding Hui admonished.
Ding Hui served under Zhu Wen's tent when he was in Huangchao, and like Pang Shigu, he was deeply respected by Zhu Wen, so his words carried great weight.
The Shatuo people have always been the nightmare of the Bianzhou group, when Zhu Wen was the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival, the power was weak, and Li Ke used the Shatuo iron horse to be famous in the world.
After Shangyuanyi turned his face, he officially became a mortal enemy.
For so many years, the two sides have been wrestling in secret, and the reason why Zhu Wen has fought Zhu Jin and Zhu Xuan brothers for so many years is because of the strength of the Zhu brothers themselves, and on the other hand, Li Keyong constantly sent Shatuo cavalry to cross Wei Bo and support Yun Xuan from the flank.
In the battle of the river, the two strongest forces in the world collided head-on.
Zhu Wenti moved westward with heavy troops, of course, not for a small river!
The battle in the river will determine the fortune of the world.
Tang Zhongjin looked at Zhu Wen expectantly one by one.
Defeating Li Keyong has always been Zhu Wen's long-cherished wish.
At this moment, Kou Yanqing said: "King, recently, Li Zhen, a famous scholar, admired the prestige of the king and came to vote, this person has a strange plan, why doesn't the king listen to him?" “
"Guanzhong Li Zhen? But the descendants of Li Baozhen, the king of Yiyang County? Liu Han, who was beside Zhu Wen, was surprised.
"Exactly."
Zhu Wen has always attached great importance to talents, and when he heard that he was a famous man in Guanzhong and a meritorious service of the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally impressed, "Hurry up, please." “
"Xiaomin Li Zhen pays a visit to His Royal Highness King Liang." Li Zhen saluted respectfully.
Zhu Wen got up from the soft collapse, approached quickly, and helped Li Zhen up, "Don't be polite, after the gentleman is famous, he will teach me." “
"Don't dare, don't dare." In front of the full hall of civil and military, although Li Zhen is young, he is neither humble nor arrogant, "The little people think that now is not the time to crusade against Li Keyong." “
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the hostility of the generals of the Liang army.
These people are all veterans of a hundred battles, glaring angrily, like a tiger, Li Zhen has no fear, and his eyes are shining at Zhu Wen.
Seeing that he was calm and composed, Zhu Wen became more and more respectful, "Please give me advice." “
Li Zhendao: "The small people think that the king should raise troops to Chang'an!" “
The generals in the hall discussed again, and Ding Hui said angrily: "This person must be Sha Tuo's meticulous work, the king can't listen to this Huangkou child's nonsense, Li Ke is tired of the old soldiers, it is the time when our army swept Taiyuan in one fell swoop, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard of the king." “
The other generals didn't dare to speak like Ding.
Zhu Wen didn't seem to hear Ding Hui's words, and looked at Li Zhen with blazing eyes.
Li Zhen smiled lightly and didn't explain half a sentence for himself.
"Sir, why did this king attack Guanzhong?"
Li Zhen's eyes swept over the generals in the hall, "In the world of the Tang Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, there are still people's hearts, and now the emperor is working hard to integrate Guanzhong, just like the rising sun, not to be underestimated, the king does not take it now, and when the sun is in the sky, Guanzhong is not desirable, and once the king takes Guanzhong and controls the emperor, the hearts of the people in the world will be all under the king's heart, a paper edict, who in the world dares to disobey?" If so, what is Hedong Li Ke's argument? “
The hall suddenly quieted down, there are some broad-minded people among the generals, and now Hezhong is basically won, a Xizhou is dispensable, but Guanzhong is more attractive.
Moreover, with the control of Tang Ting, Zhu Wen can go further, and they can also go further.
"Xizhou is located in the north of the river, Taiyuan supplies are endless, the king raised troops to the north, the war is together, protracted, wasting national strength, and making Guanzhong sit big, not done by wise men." Like his ancestor Li Baozhen, Li Zhen is a very qualified lobbyist.
Kou Yanqing arched his hand and said: "The last general also asks the king to seize Guanzhong!" “
Zhu Wentun was also a little hesitant to defeat Li Keyong, although he had absolute confidence in defeating Li Keyong, but he was only defeated, and he was not completely sure that he would destroy Li Keyong.
If Guanzhong is taken, his power will rise by three points, and the princes will be coerced by the Son of Heaven, and when the time comes, he will have more confidence to crusade against Li Keyong.
Zhu Wen pulled out the long sword at his waist and nailed it to the ground, "Enter the Guanzhong!" “
Changan.
The troops in the southwest of Guanzhong were all assembled in Chang'an, Li Juchuan and Zhang Chengye were urgently transferred back to Chang'an, and Fengxiang was temporarily handed over to Yang Jian to garrison.
Looking at the battle report in the river, Li Ye smiled bitterly in his heart.
It's finally time to come.
Li Keyong was really unreliable, so he retreated to Xizhou.
Wang Ke was even more unbearable and surrendered directly.
Now there is only himself in front of Zhu Wen.
"Zhu Wen may not enter the army." Han shook aside and comforted.
But he didn't believe it.
Most of the river fell into the hands of Zhu Wen, Zhu Wen had already gained the initiative, how could the 120,000 army watch himself develop and grow in Guanzhong?
Gao Xingzhou said: "Zhu Quanzhong is stationed in Jiangzhou, and he must have the intention of taking Pu Han." “
From Jiangzhou to the west, you can drive straight into Pusaka.
Tongguan is a husband, and it is not open.
When Cao Cao attacked Ma Chao and was blocked under Tongguan, Xu Huang bypassed Tongguan and secretly crossed Pusaka before tearing Ma Chao's defense.
Today's situation is very similar to Cao Cao's army to attack Chang'an.
The places where Zhu Wen and Cao Cao rose were in the Central Plains.
The great man once commented that Zhu Wen was similar to Cao Cao, and he was too cunning.
However, Li Ye is not Ma Chao.
Li Juchuan said: "The minister Zhu Quanzhong used troops and liked to go hand in hand, but he led the army to the back, where to tear the gap, he led the army to pounce, Qin Zongquan and Sun Ru were defeated like this." “
With Zhu Quanzhong's current strength, he can do this.
Tongguan Li Yun Department 10,000 people.
10,000 people in the same state Zhou Yunyi Division.
Li Yun has the natural risk of Tongguan, and he himself is old and serious, and it is not a problem to guard Tongguan.
Although Li Ye has confidence in Zhou Yunyi, he will now face the strongest army in the world, and it must be false to say that he is not panicking.
Han Shu said: "Your Majesty should also guard against Li Sixiao in Langfang, the party people are always unfamiliar wolves, as soon as Zhu Wen's army moves, they may help from the side and reap the benefits." “
If Zhu Wen hadn't come so soon, Li Ye's next step after expanding his army would be to test his new army in Langfang.
I didn't expect Li Ke to use such a chicken thief to retreat to Xizhou and expose the pass.
But in this troubled world, no one can be trusted, when Guo Chongtao came to ask for help, didn't Li Hao also hope that Li Keyong would fight with Zhu Wen, so that he could pick up the cheap?
"Li Sixiao has the intention of watching Chang'an, but he doesn't dare to blatantly attack Chang'an and make wedding dresses for others, and with their strength, it is impossible to defeat Chang'an." Li Juchuan said.
Indeed, the last time the party members cooperated with Li Maozhen, they only beat the side drums, even if they beat Chang'an, what can they do?
Will Zhu Wen let them occupy Chang'an?
If you want to talk about who is the most reluctant now, who is the most good at stealing development, it must be a party member, and others have been hooked until the weak Song Dynasty was founded, almost 150 years before and after.
As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ye didn't have this condition, and his every move was stared at.
It's time to decide the fate of Datang again.
It is also the moment that decides Li Ye's fate.
I don't know what Wang Ke thinks, even Zhu Wen dares to defect.
Now both of them are in Zhu Wen's hands.
If he can block Zhu Wen, it will prove to the world that Datang's life should not be extinguished.
Can Zhongxing talk about it later, at least Li Ye doesn't have to be as miserable as Zhaozong in history.
When it came to the moment of life and death, Li Ye did not have as many worries as before.
