It is said that at the beginning of April, Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to go out of the pass with a large army to attack Luoyang.

At this time, Wang Shichong, who was sitting in the eastern capital of Luoyang, saw this, and hurriedly ordered the four gates of the eastern capital to be closed and strictly forbidden to go out, and at the same time, the city wall also put on a state of perseverance, vigilant day and night against the movements of Li Jiancheng's army.

In the camp, a group of people were discussing countermeasures in the tent, and Li Jiancheng sat in the first seat and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, at present, the imperial Thai army in the eastern capital cannot be defended, if we continue to stay here, I am afraid that after a long time, the food and grass will be insufficient and the fighting spirit will decline. ”

When everyone present heard this, they all turned their heads and discussed with each other, while Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng were together muttering something, completely ignoring everyone in the tent.

I saw Sheng Yanshi, the head of the march, stand up and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, the last general thinks that he should bury the pot and cook a full meal, and start attacking the city tomorrow morning, and at the same time urgently dispatch troops and horses to the prime minister in the direction of Daxing, and the last general believes that he will be able to capture the eastern capital in less than half a month." ”

As soon as Sheng Yanshi's voice fell, many of the generals present echoed their words, and at this time, Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin ended the discussion, turned their heads to look at Sheng Yanshi, and only heard Chu Mofeng whisper: "Siege, I really don't know what they think." ”

Hearing Chu Mofeng's words, Shi Wanbao, the head of the marching army, stood up and said angrily: "I don't know what General Pingxi means by this? If we don't attack the city, then what should we do? ”

At this time, it was as if a furnace had been lit in the big tent, and everyone looked at Chu Mofeng one after another, and even said with disdain: "A doll who is less than twenty has not fought a few battles, and his tone is not small. ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng sneered and said: "First of all, I only fight battles with certainty, and secondly, I have won five battles and five victories since I joined the team of the Great Prime Minister, whether it is a thousand-mile attack or a siege battle, I will never attack rashly without the certainty of victory, don't forget that if you lose the battle, you will die." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals present were silent, thinking that they all knew that your kid was a demon, and he cherished his subordinates, and he also knew that your kid was the prime minister's favorite son-in-law, but everyone didn't know that people would die if they lost the battle, but if they continued to waste it here, it would definitely be harmful to the army for a long time.

Li Jiancheng, who was seated, smiled and said: "Mo Feng, if you have any ideas, just say it, and everyone will work together to serve as a staff officer." ”

After Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin glanced at each other, he arched his hand at Li Jiancheng and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, the kid means to send people to persuade him to surrender first, if it fails, immediately send a large army to attack and occupy the villages and towns around Luoyang, I think there will be people in the city who can't help it." In addition, as far as I know, Li Mi has already submitted to Emperor Tai, and it is necessary to send some additional men to be careful of this person going out of the city to sneak attack. ”

As soon as Chu Mofeng's words fell, Lu Shaozong on the side stood up and bowed his hand to Chu Mofeng and said: "The whole army knows that the Tiance army under General Chu is brave and invincible, I don't know why I didn't see them on this expedition? ”

Arching his hand at Lu Shaozong, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: " General Lu is really a boy, the Tiance army is only one hundred and twelve people left in the last battle, two hundred and eighty-eight killed, to be honest, it is disabled, this time in the order they are repaired in Daxing, so they did not follow the expedition, in addition, about the siege of the city, in the next think that it is indeed impossible to do, after all, Li Mi has surrendered, a total of 300,000 horses under his command are not placed there for good looks, in addition, although the eastern capital Luoyang has not been completed for a long time, but Yu Wenkai's craftsmanship I can still trust, so the siege of the city is purely vain waste, it is better to besiege Wei to save Zhao to be real。 ”

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Lu Shaozong walked quickly to the map and browsed carefully, then nodded and turned around and asked: "Then ask again, if our squad returns to the dynasty and the Eastern Capital sends troops to block it, where should we set up an ambush?"

Chu Mofeng didn't even think about blurting out: "The Tomb of the Three Kings, that's the best ambush spot nearby." ”

At this point, Lu Shaozong solemnly saluted Chu Mofeng and said: "It is rumored in the army that although General Chu is young, he is invincible in martial arts, and he is full of wisdom. ”

And Qu Tutong, who is the history of Li Shimin's marching army, suddenly said at this time: "Chu boy, the old man has been fighting all his life, you are the first person to make the old man admire, and he was defeated in the hands of you and King Zhao, and the old man has no complaints. After speaking, he stood up and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Royal Highness, the last general thinks that General Chu's method is feasible. ”

When everyone saw that even the veteran Qu Tutong admired Chu Mofeng, they began to recall Chu Mofeng's words, and at this time Li Jiancheng said: "Mofeng, isn't it good to storm the east? At least we have one more city, and the two major capitals of the Great Sui will be controlled by us, which will also be a big blow to those separatist forces." ”

Listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but slander in his heart, damn, are you really bad at brain, or are you paving the way for you to step on everyone's corpses?

Thinking of this, Chu Mofeng said with a smile: "Brother Jiancheng, now we don't have too many cities in our hands on the line from the eastern capital to the east of the river, if we capture the eastern capital Luoyang, leaving an enclave here is indeed not much use for us, if Luoyang warns at that time, the army will inevitably encounter resistance on the way to reinforcements, and it will inevitably outweigh the losses." ”

Hearing that Chu Mofeng opened his mouth to call himself Brother Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng also knew that the little abacus in his heart couldn't be played, so he had no choice but to say stupidly: "The generals listen to the order, from today onwards, all plans will be carried out in accordance with the plan proposed by General Pingxi, and in addition, it is strictly ordered that all departments shall not wantonly kill the people when attacking villages and towns, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

When the generals heard this, they all bowed their hands and said yes. On the second day, Li Jiancheng sent envoys to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to summon him, and after three successive groups of envoys entered Luoyang City, they were driven out in less than a stick of incense. Seeing that Wang Shichong in the city did not reply for a long time, Li Jiancheng ordered the army to divide a part of the men and horses to start attacking the villages and towns around Luoyang, and for a time the warning information from all over the country was sent to Luoyang like snowflakes.

Emperor Yang Tong looked at the stack of shocking battle reports on the dragon case, and looked coldly at the ministers in the main hall, only to see Wang Shichong come out and say to Yang Tong: "Your Majesty, the thieves are powerful, and you must not fall into the trap of the thieves. ”

"Then can Aiqing tell me whether those of my people outside the city should give up?" Listening to Wang Shichong's words, Emperor Yang Tong said coldly.

Wang Shichong was immediately choked up when he heard this, this question was too painful, if he answered and gave up, then how would the people of the court and the people of Luoyang view him in the future? Ruthless, cold-blooded, and ruthless? At that time, there will definitely be people who will attack him; but if he does not give up, then what is the intention of hindering His Majesty from sending troops?

Thinking of this, Wang Shichong set his eyes on Duan Da on his side, only to see Duan Da nodding and saying: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time, he should send a general to lead the troops out of the city to fight with Li Yi, so that the surrounding people can see His Majesty's benevolence and love for the people." After speaking, he turned his gaze to Li Mi who was standing aside.

Li Mi, who was standing with His Royal Highness, saw Duan Da leading the matter to himself, and couldn't help but curse in his heart, thinking that although he was a recent return, everyone had never trusted him very much, if he didn't come out to show his loyalty this time, then he was afraid that someone would make a fuss about this matter in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Mi flashed out, and before Yang Tong could speak, he said aloud: "Your Majesty, the facts that Duan Nayan said are the most important, since no one in the court has recommended himself, then Weichen will come forward and lead his troops out of the city to frustrate Li Yi's spirit, so that they can know the strength of our eastern capital." ”

Yang Tong thought to himself when he heard this, you are a fool, as soon as others provoke you, you can't stand it and jump out, I want you to stay in the city to beware of Wang Shichong and others, hey, okay, since you can solve this problem for me, it just happens to be a moment of Wang Shichong and others' sharpness.

Thinking of this, Yang Tong said loudly: "What Li Aiqing said is very much in line with my wishes, and I will go out of the city early tomorrow morning to meet the enemy, and there will be a reward regardless of victory or defeat." ”

Duan Da, Yun Dingxing, Wang Shichong and others present looked at each other with a successful expression, while Li Mi let out a long sigh.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng were chatting in the camp, when the soldiers came to report that the west gate of Luoyang City was opened, and an army was opened from inside, rushing in the direction of the camp, and it was expected to arrive at the camp in half an hour.

Hearing this, the two hurriedly walked out of the camp tent with all their clothes on, and shouted loudly to the field: "Enemy attack, assemble, prepare for battle." As soon as the words fell, the battle drums rang out.

And Li Jiancheng, who was in the commander's tent, suddenly heard the sound of war drums, hurriedly ran out of the camp tent and asked anxiously: "What is the drum?"

I saw a soldier say: "If you return to the world, a large army has been sent out in Luoyang City, and it is rushing towards the direction of the camp, and His Royal Highness King Zhao has received the news and ordered us to assemble quickly." After speaking, he saluted Li Jiancheng and ran away in a hurry.

At this time, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng led the assembled team out of the city in a hurry, only to see Li Mi leading the army under his command to stand ten miles away from the camp, Chu Mofeng saw this and hurriedly said to Li Shimin: "Pass the order, don't fight to the death when you fight, I don't think Li Mi looks like he wants to fight, it is estimated that he came out to show Luoyang, after all, there is still an agreement between us." ”

Li Shimin nodded when he heard this, and then ordered his own soldiers to pass on the news, and the two sides only fought for less than a quarter of an hour before they each closed their troops, Li Mi returned to Luoyang with his men, and the west gate of Luoyang was hurriedly closed.

At this point, many people in Luoyang City had their minds and tried to go out of the city to inform Li Shimin and others that they intended to be the internal response of the Tang Army.

In the early morning of the third day of the fourth lunar month, Li Shimin suggested to Li Jiancheng that the large army return to the DPRK, and after receiving Li Jiancheng's consent, the teams of the large battalion began to pull out the camp and prepare for the return of the division.

Li Shimin was sitting in Chu Mofeng's camp tent at the moment, looking at Chu Mofeng who was packing up his things and said, "Luoyang City will definitely chase after us when they see us retreating." Do we want to do what you said and ambush at the Mausoleum of the Three Kings?"

Chu Mofeng nodded and said: "You set up an ambush in the Three Kings' Mausoleum, and set them up in three places, and strive to annihilate those who came to pursue in one fell swoop, so as not to let people say that we have not made an inch of success after we go back." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and in the early morning of the second day, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin led the army to return to Daxing.

Duan Da heard that he was going to pursue, and hurriedly took 10,000 people out of the city, and Duan Da, who was eager for meritorious service, did not send a scout horse to investigate first, but subconsciously took the men and horses to chase all the way, and was caught off guard by Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng, who were waiting for work at ease, near the Mausoleum of the Three Kings.

When Chu Mofeng heard that the general leading the team on the opposite side was Duan Da, he was immediately angry, and chased him out with a pat on his horse's back and holding the sky in his hand.

At this time, on the official road leading to Luoyang, Duan Da rode his horse and ran towards Luoyang in a hurry, followed by a group of soldiers who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor.

Chu Mofeng shouted while chasing after him: "Damn, surnamed Duan, there is a kind of you stop for Lao Tzu, what are you running?"

When Duan Da heard this, he shouted: "I said what are you kid chasing me for? If you lose the battle, you won't kill me, right?"

"It has nothing to do with fighting, have you forgotten what you did by Yang Yong's side back then? Yang Su's old thief is dead, Yang Guang's guy is also dead, Ji Wei is also dead, the murderer of that incident back then is one of you, suffer death." Chu Mofeng saw that the distance between the two had widened, and his legs hurriedly clamped the horse's belly and continued to chase forward.

When Duan Da heard this, he remembered that he cooperated with Yang Guang to murder Yang Yong back then, and originally thought that after so many years of this matter, the insider had already died almost, but who knew that another one suddenly appeared, and he was shocked at the moment, and ran desperately towards Luoyang City.

At the same time, he ordered the soldiers behind him to block Chu Mofeng's way, Chu Mofeng saw this and hurriedly called the soldiers around him to meet the enemy, while he went around in a circle and continued to chase forward. But it was just like this that gave Duan Da some time.

Seeing that Duan Da was about to enter Luoyang City, Chu Mofeng held the reins in his left hand, put the burning sky behind his back with his right hand, and wiped his back with his right hand, and the two golden darts were suddenly clasped in his hand, and he saw Duan Da's figure and threw it forward.

Duan Da, who was desperately fleeing, saw that there were still a few steps to enter Luoyang City, and he couldn't help but be happy, at this time, there was a pain in the back shoulder and lower back, and at this time Duan Da didn't care to check the injury, and ran into Luoyang City with all his might, and after he was safe and sound, he remembered to stretch out his hand to wipe the pain, and saw the blood on his hand come into view.

Chu Mofeng saw that the pursuit was unsuccessful, so he hurriedly stopped his steps, and at this time, Li Shimin's army behind him hurriedly covered up, and Li Shimin chased the defeated army all the way to the city of the eastern capital, and killed more than 4,000 people in this battle.

At the same time, Li Shimin added two counties of Xin'an and Yiyang near Luoyang, and sent Shi Wanbao and Sheng Yanshi, the commanders of the marching army, to guard Yiyang, and Lu Shaozong and Ren Tongbing to guard Xin'an, and then the army returned to the court.

At this time, Chu Mofeng said angrily: "If I meet Duan Da again, the young master will definitely not let him go." ”

Li Shimin, who was standing on the side, smiled helplessly and said: "General Chu, you said that you are the head of the Siping generals, why are you still like a child, Cheng, if there is a chance, will the army fully cooperate with you to kill Duan Dacheng?" Looking at Li Shimin's sincere face, Chu Mofeng nodded and gave up.

In the same month, the Tang Dynasty officially announced the abolition of the original Sui Dynasty's laws, and re-promulgated new laws and new policies, focusing on recuperation and tax reduction, and the people of Chang'an applauded for a while.

In the same month, Yu Wenhua and sent troops to attack Liyang, Li Mi and Xu Shiyun led the troops to refuse, Li Mi and Yu Wenhua and the two sides fought for several days, killing the sky was dark, and the war finally ended with Yu Wenhua and defeat, but the time soon came to the beginning of July, Li Mi commanded the elite soldiers to fight for Yu Wenhua and. Yu Wenhua arrived in Liyang and met Li Mi, who knew that his troops lacked military rations, and a quick victory would be beneficial to him, so he did not fight him, blocking his retreat. Li Mi sent Xu Shiyun to guard Cangcheng, but Yu Wenhua and the attack were unsuccessful.

Li Mi and Yu Wenhua talked across the river, Li Mi reprimanded him: "You turned out to be a slave of the Xiongnu, your father, brother and son were all favored by the Sui Dynasty, and they were rich and noble for generations, so that you took the princess as your wife, and the glory you got was not second in the entire court." How can you allow Your Majesty to lose his morality and not admonish him with death, but instead take the opportunity of rebellion to kill the monarch with his own hands, and even kill his children and grandchildren, support the royal family to produce children, monopolize power and self-esteem, conspire to usurp the throne, insult the concubine and kill the innocent?"

Seeing that Yu Wenhua didn't answer, Li Mi paused and continued: "You don't follow Zhuge Zhan's loyalty, but you do the kind of rebellious and evil deeds that Huo Yu did. It is true that heaven and earth cannot tolerate you, and man and god will not bless you. Threaten the good, where do you want to go, and now if you come to me quickly, you can save your descendants. ”

Yu Wenhua was silent, looked down for a long time, and then shouted loudly with angry eyes: "I told you about slashing, why do you need to quote scriptures and chew words?"

Li Mi said to his entourage: "Yu Wenhua is so mediocre and cowardly, he suddenly wants to be an emperor, this is Zhao Gao, Shenggong and other figures, I just need to break the cane to drive him away." ”

At this time, Yu Wenhua and overhauled siege equipment to approach Liyang Cangcheng, Li Mi led 500 light cavalry to the position. The Cangcheng soldiers came out to respond again, and burned the siege equipment of Yu Wenhua, and the fire was not extinguished all night.

With the defeat of Yu Wenhua and fully revealed, there were soldiers in the barracks who continued to escape, and even those who fled to Li Mi's side, for which Li Mi did not refuse to accept all the orders. Li Mi learned from a deserter that Yu Wenhua and food were running out, so he falsely claimed to be in alliance with him in order to slack his morale.

Yu Wenhua didn't know what to do, and was very happy to let his soldiers eat and drink unrestrained, counting on Li Mi to send food.

Who knew that Li Mi had not sent someone to deliver food for several days, at this time Yu Wenhua and only knew that he had fallen into Li Mi's trick, and Yu Wenhua was furious at the moment, and Li Mi started a fierce battle at the foot of Tongshan in Weizhou.

This battle lasted from morning to evening, the two sides fought in the dark, and Li Mi was unfortunately injured by random arrows during the battle, and it was all due to the desperate cover of the general Qin Shubao to retreat to Ji County to rest.

At this time, Yu Wenhua and exhausted food and grass were cut off, most of the soldiers defected, and after attacking Ji County, they quickly moved north to Wei County.

His subordinates Chen Zhiluo and Zhang Tongren successively led their teams to submit to Li Mi. Before Yu Wenhua left some military supplies in Dongjun, he sent him to guard the criminal department Shangshu Wang Rail, and at this time Wang Rail surrendered to Li Mi in Dongjun.

Just as Li Mi and Yu were fighting hard, Wang Shichong took the opportunity to destroy the dissidents and monopolize the Luoyang Sui court. Li Mi learned of Wang Shichong's autocratic power, refused to enter the court, and returned to Kim Yong Cheng, the base of the Wagang army.

However, at this time, Xue Ju in the right direction of Longxi also began to move, at the beginning of July, Xue Ju with his soldiers and horses attacked Jingzhou, and quickly took Jingzhou with lightning speed, fortunately after Jingzhou was captured, Xue Rengao did not massacre as before, but restrained his men and horses not to disturb the people.

The people of Jingzhou, who had heard Xue Rengao's notoriety for a long time, saw this, and thought that Xue Rengao was good, but they didn't know that before Xue Rengao went on this expedition, he had been assassinated more than a dozen times in succession.

After the Xue father and son captured Jingzhou, they immediately put on a posture of large-scale attack, the target was directly aimed at Gaoqi, and after getting the battle report in the direction of Chang'an, they hurriedly sent Li Shimin to lead Liu Wenjing, Liu Hongji and others together with the eight governors and their soldiers and horses to meet the enemy in Gaoqi, but Chu Mofeng was left by Li Yuan on the grounds of training soldiers, and did not go with the army.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, deepened the trenches and raised the barriers, and strictly ordered his subordinates not to confront Xue Ju's troops. It happened that the people of the world were suffering from malaria, and entrusted the military to Liu Wenjing and Sima Yin, the chief historian, and warned the two: "Xue Ju is alone in the army, there is not much food, and the soldiers are tired. When I have recovered from my illness, I will attack again. ”

After the two returned to Liu Wenjing's camp, Yin Kaishan said to Liu Wenjing: "The prince is worried that you can't retreat from the enemy, so he said this. When the thieves hear that the prince is sick, they will inevitably despise us, and they should show their strength to deter the enemy. So they lined up in the southwest of Gaoji, relying on the large number of people and not guarding against them.

After Xue Ju learned the news of Li Shimin's injury, he immediately secretly attacked the back of the Tang army, and on the ninth day of July, the two sides fought for the first time in the shallow water plain, and the eight commanders of the Tang army were defeated in this battle, and five or six tenths of the soldiers died, and the generals Murong Luo, Li Anyuan, and Liu Hongji were all captured.

Seeing this, Li Shimin hurriedly led his troops back to Chang'an, and Xue Ju learned that Li Shimin was defeated and retreated, so he led his troops to conquer Gaojaw with a great victory, and then packed up the corpses of Tang soldiers to build a high platform.

When Li Yuan heard that Li Shi's militia was defeated, he felt deeply remorseful for failing to let Chu Mofeng go with the army, and this matter could have been lightly punished, but Xue Ju's atrocities were transmitted back to Chang'an, Li Yuan was furious about this, and in a fit of rage, he ordered the removal of Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan and others from their official positions, and issued bereavement pensions to the dead soldiers.

At this moment, Li Shimin sat in his own mansion and thought about it behind closed doors, Li Jiancheng came over to condolence after learning about it, but it was his little sister, Li Yuhu, who was named the princess of Dingyang by Li Yuan, came to visit many times worriedly, at this time Li Shimin also fell into deep self-blame for his own mistakes, but there was no one around him who could talk to him except his wife, so he had to ask Li Yuhu to call Chu Mofeng to the house.

On the second day, Chu Mofeng rode his horse to the Qin Palace, stood at the gate of the Qin Palace, breathed a long sigh of relief, and walked towards the palace with his clothes straightened......

There is a way that the hearts of brothers are suddenly opened, and watching Li Shimin's whole army fight Xue father and son again, Tiance Army reorganized and went out to make a name for himself, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
