Chapter 134: Successive Battles Longyou is finally decided

Li Shimin's army marched all the way to the right direction of Long, and did not enter the city wherever it passed, but only sent grain and grass to transport supplies into the city, and in the process of the army's march, on the Jiayin day of September (12th), Dou Liang, the governor of Qinzhou in the Tang Dynasty, led the army under his command to attack Xue Rengao and failed.

Dou Liang was afraid that Xue Rengao would attack Jingzhou, so he ordered the hussar general Liu Ganzhen to guard Jingzhou. Liu Gan, a native of Fengquan County, Qizhou (now Tangyu Town, Meixian County, Shaanxi Province), is of Xiongnu nationality. A general during the Tang Dynasty and the grandson of Liu Fengsheng, King of Gaochang of the Later Wei Dynasty. is upright, his father Liu Long was a general during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, because he had worked with Gao Xi, so Chu Mofeng also knew a little about Liu Gan.

When Li Yuan led his troops into Chang'an in the first year of Yining, Chu Mofeng had met with Liu Gan in private, and after Chu Mofeng revealed his identity, Liu Gan couldn't help but sigh, recalling the past and lamenting the impermanence of the world.

This time, Chu Mofeng went out with the army, and he was still thinking about this old friend in his heart, and he was thinking that he could meet him again.

Soon after Liu Gan received the news, Xue Rengao led his troops to surround Jingzhou. Seeing this, Liu Gan hurriedly closed the four gates of Jingzhou City and couldn't defend it. At the same time, he took advantage of the night to send a team of men and horses to ask for help.

Xue Rengao attacked again and again for several days, and the city was on the verge of falling several times, at this time the grain in Jingzhou City was eaten up, Liu Gan killed the horse he rode and distributed it to the soldiers, he did not eat a little meat, only mixed with sawdust in the soup of boiling horse bones.

The anxious Liu Gan stood at the head of the city and looked out, hoping that reinforcements could arrive quickly to solve the crisis in Jingzhou.

It happened that Li Shuliang, the king of Changping, received a request for help and led a large army to Jingzhou, and Xue Rengao saw that the Tang army was strong, so he threatened to run out of food and led his troops to the south.

On the 13th of the 13th, Xue Rengao, who had failed in the attack on Jingzhou, had a plan and sent Gaoqian people to pretend to surrender the Tang Dynasty with the city. Li Shuliang, who was guarding Jingzhou, received the news and sent Liu Gan to lead his subordinates to Gaoqi.

Jiwei day (17th), Liu Gan led the army to the city of Gaoqi, knocked on the door several times without success, and the heart was already vigilant, at this time the people in the city of Gaojaw said: "The thief has left, you can climb the city wall into the city." Seeing this, Liu Gan was puzzled, so he ordered the fire to burn the gate of Gaojaw, and the soldiers in the city hurriedly poured water and poured it down, Liu Gan was more convinced that the people in Gaojaw City were fraudulent at this time, and then ordered the infantry to return to the division first, and led the elite soldiers to walk in the end.

At this time, three beacon fires were lit on the city, Xue Rengao's army poured down in large numbers from the southern plains, and Liu Gan's army fought in Baili Xichuan, because Liu Gan came to receive the surrender of the city this time, and the soldiers and horses he brought were not very many, and the Tang army was defeated in a hurry, and Liu Gan was also captured by Xue Rengao.

After catching Liu Gan, Xue Rengao turned around and surrounded Jingzhou, and ordered Liu Gan to shout to the city: "The reinforcements have been defeated, it is better to surrender as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Liu Gan was already with the intention of dying, and simply agreed to Xue Rengao's request, and the soldiers of Western Qin escorted Liu Gan to the city and ordered him to shout according to Xue Rengao's request, but Liu Gan shouted loudly: "The thieves are starving without food, and they will soon perish, the king of Qin led hundreds of thousands of troops from all sides, don't worry about the people in the city, try to defend the city!"

Li Shuliang in Jingzhou City stood at the head of the city and looked at Liu Gan under the city, almost wanted to send troops out to rescue Liu Gan, but Liu Gan stopped him by his words, looking at his friend being insulted by the enemy army under the city, Li Shuliang's eyes were split, and his hands clenched his fists kept beating the city wall, splashing a little blood.

At this time, Xue Rengao was greatly annoyed, and ordered someone to catch Liu Gan and bury him alive next to the city to his knees, and ran on a horse to shoot Liu Gan with arrows; as arrows were shot at Liu Gan's body, Liu Gan's cursing voice became higher and higher, and his attitude became more and more angry, until before he died, Liu Gan shouted the last sentence to Li Shuliang in Jingzhou City: "Hold on and don't go out of the city to fight." ”

Li Shuliang on the city wall nodded firmly when he heard this, and then said to the soldiers behind him with tears in his eyes: "Take advantage of the night to find a way to go out of the city to find His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and report everything in Jingzhou City truthfully." The pro-soldier led the order to quickly retreat.

It was night, a rope slipped on the head of Jingzhou City, and then a figure fell from the city wall by means of the dark night, and after confirming that there was no one around, he quickly ran to the city gate and pulled out a fast horse, and ran in the direction of Gaoji.

On the second day, Xue Rengao saw that the long-term attack on Jingzhou was fruitless, and the army had already run out of food for several days, knowing that Li Shuliang would definitely not send troops out of the city to meet the battle, so he led the army back to the capital to repair the city, and prepared to plan an attack on Longzhou.

Seeing Xue Rengao's army retreating, Li Shuliang in the city breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered people to go out of the city to collect Liu Gan's body, according to the report of the soldiers who went out of the city, Liu Gan was hit by thirty-one arrows, one of which was a fatal arrow in the throat, but Liu Gan did not fall to the ground until he died.

After Li Shuliang learned the news, he quickly recruited the servants and doctors in Jingzhou City, carefully sorted out Liu Gan's body, and then arranged for the burial.

Gengshen day (18th), Xue Rengao led the troops to attack Longzhou, the Tang Dynasty Longzhou assassin Shi Changda decisively sent troops to snipe Xue Rengao in Yiluchuan, a big battle down the two sides hurt each other, Changda headquarters killed Xue Rengao's army of more than 1,000 people, Xue Rengao saw this and hurriedly led the troops to retreat, and Chang Da was afraid that the other party would retreat fraudulently, so he led the troops back to Longzhou to hold on.

Sure enough, as Changda expected, Xue Rengao saw Chang Da retreat, and quickly led his subordinates to turn around and attack, at this time Chang Da had retreated into Longzhou City, so he ordered the four gates to be closed and defended according to the city, Xue Rengao saw that the army repeatedly attacked Chang Da and failed to win, so he repeated the trick and sent his general Tong Shizheng to take hundreds of people to surrender, Chang Da was very happy to learn that someone in Xue Rengao's camp came to surrender, and personally received the Shi Zheng, and gave him heavy responsibility.

On the 23rd of the 23rd, he took the opportunity to take his subordinates to kidnap Chang Da and surrendered to Xue Rengao with 2,000 people in the city.

In Xue Rengao's camp, the general Chang Da was escorted to Xue Rengao, Xue Rengao admired Chang Da as a strong general, and made several words to appease him, but Chang Da's words and expressions did not yield.

Seeing this, Xue Rengao cherished his talents and decided to let Changda go back. At this time, Zhang Gui, a thief who was born as a slave, said to Chang Da: "Do you know me?"

Chang Da looked at Zhang Gui and sneered and said, "Aren't you the slave thief who ran away from the damned?" Zhang Gui was immediately annoyed when he heard Chang Da's words, and pulled out the sword on his waist to kill Chang Da, and for a while there was chaos in the camp, and I don't know who shouted: "Zhang Gui, do you want to disobey Your Majesty's will?"

Hearing this, Zhang Guicai gave up, and Chang Dacai returned to Longzhou without death.

At this time, because Li Yuan had already contacted Li Rail, who was entrenched in the Liangzhou area, before Li Shimin's expedition, Li Shimin's army moved all the way unimpeded, and the news of Jingzhou was also able to reach Li Shimin. Upon hearing the news of Liu Gan's tragic death, Li Shimin quickly sent someone to send the news back to Chang'an, but Chu Mofeng did not show any emotion after learning the news.

It was night when the army was stationed in place, Chu Mofeng stood alone outside the camp with a jar of wine, took out a bowl and poured a big bowl full, and said to the boundless night: "Brother Liu, I don't have many friends, you count one, Geng Li counts one, and as a result, both of you died tragically in the hands of Xue Rengao's brute, don't worry, even if the younger brother fights for his life this time, he will return to the two of you to avenge it." ”

After speaking, he drank all the liquor in the bowl, and then slowly poured the wine in the jar on the ground in front of him, and when the wine jar was empty, he threw the wine jar in his hand to the ground, and the crisp sound of the wine jar breaking was particularly abrupt in the silent night sky.

Chu Mofeng turned around and said coldly: "Stand down, it's me." ”

When the sentry saw that it was Chu Mofeng, he hurriedly put away his weapon and clasped his fists with both hands and said, "The little one doesn't know that it's General Chu, I offended a lot just now, and I ask General Chu to forgive me." ”

Chu Mofeng waved his hand to signal the sentry to retreat, and he slowly walked towards the camp. Back in the camp, Chu Mofeng took out a small note, picked up a brush dipped in ink and wrote a few lines, and then took out a pigeon from the pigeon cage in the tent, put the note away, walked out of the big tent with the pigeon, and threw the pigeon in his hand into the air.

I saw that the gray pigeon quickly flew into the air, and after quickly flapping its wings a few times to adjust its body, it quickly flew towards Qinzhou in the direction of Qinzhou through the boundless night.

In the early morning of the second day, the army quickly marched and drove towards Gaoji, at the same time, in the Qinzhou inn, Shi Hanshuang, who got up early, walked on the street with some early, because after Xue Ju's death, Xue Rengao moved the capital to Zheqi City, and the Tang Dynasty took advantage of the situation to capture Qinzhou.

When I walked into the inn, I saw Liu Feiyan hurriedly walking down from the second floor, and whispered to Shi Hanshuang: "Shuang'er, I have received the message." ”

Shi Hanshuang's face tightened when he heard this, and hurriedly followed Liu Feiyan back to the guest room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the other four people sitting in the guest room, and a pigeon on the table in the center was jumping around energetically, Gu Zhen'er saw Shi Hanshuang coming in, and hurriedly handed her the note carried by the pigeon and said: "Shuang'er, this is Brother Feng's latest instructions, you hurry up and see how we should act next." After speaking, he took the food in Shi Hanshuang's hand.

Handing the food in his hand to Gu Zhen'er, Shi Hanshuang took the note and unfolded it, only to see that it was written: Quickly go to Zheqi City, find a way to destroy Xue Rengao's grain and grass, and quickly return to Chang'an after the matter is completed.

After Shi Hanshuang finished reading it, he took out a fire fold from his arms and put the note up, and the note turned into a pile of ashes in an instant, and then Shi Hanshuang instructed Xiao Ruolan to take a pen and paper, and after hurriedly writing a few words, he told Xiao Ruolan to release the carrier pigeon.

After Xiao Ruolan returned, Shi Hanshuang said to everyone with a solemn face: "Go back and clean up, as soon as noon is over, let's leave for Zheqi City, Mofeng means that we need to burn Xue Rengao's grain and grass, and then settle down in Zheqi City and make detailed arrangements." ”

Everyone nodded in unison when they heard this, and then hurriedly went back to the room with breakfast to start cleaning up, and before the end of the afternoon, Shi Hanshuang and the others settled the account and left the inn, turned over and rode towards Xue Rengao's capital, Zheqi City.

At this time, in Chang'an City, the imperial court appointed Anyang Ling Lu Min as the Xiangzhou Assassin History, and renamed Wang Deren as the Xiangzhou Assassin History. Wang Deren was resentful because of this matter, and on the 12th of August, Wang Deren designed to lure the Shandong ambassador Yu Wenming to enter Lin Xishan, and killed Yu Wenming Da and then rebelled against Tang and attached to Wang Shichong, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan quickly escorted Wang Deren's family to Chang'an and imprisoned him after learning the news.

Yu Wenhua, who usurped the throne, also left Jiangdu, intending to conquer the world, Yu Wenhua and when he set off from Jiangdu, he ordered Du Fuwei to be appointed as the Taishou of Liyang, but Du Fuwei did not accept his appointment, and still called his ministers to Sui Shang, and the emperor worshiped Du Fuwei as the governor of the host and crowned the king of Chu. In the same month, Shen Faxing, the shou of Wuxing County, also submitted a table to the emperor and the lord, calling himself Da Sima, Lu Shang Shushi, and Tianmen Gong, and set up hundreds of officials under the holy decree, with Chen Gaoren as Situ, Sun Shihan as Sikong, Jiang Yuanchao as the left servant, Yin Qian as the left Cheng, Xu Lingyan as the right Cheng, Liu Ziyi as the elector of the department, and Li Baiyao as the Fu Peng.

After Yu Wenhua and left Jiangdu, Jiangdu Taishou Chen Ling found the coffin of Emperor Yang of Sui, and used Yu Culture and the car left behind to advocate it, and generally prepared the honor guard used by the Son of Heaven, and buried Emperor Yang under the platform of Wu Gong in the west of Jiangdu Palace, and at the same time buried the ministers below the princes who died at that time on both sides of Emperor Yang's tomb in turn.

At this time, Chang'an ushered in the first surrender of the secession force since the founding of the country--- Li Mi, because Li Mi successively fought with Yu Wenhua and Wang Shichong, the original huge Wagang army has already suffered heavy casualties, and everyone under his command has advised Li Mi not to blindly face the battle, at this time Li Mi was proud and complacent and no longer sympathetic to the soldiers, there was no savings in the original treasury, and even Li Mi did not distribute the spoils to the soldiers after winning the battle, which made the generals of the Wagang Army centrifuge from Germany.

Jia Yunfu, Xu Shiyun, and others persuaded each other several times, but were alienated by Li Mi, who instead obeyed the mantra of Bing Yuan, who was greedy for money. Wang Shichong heard that he took advantage of the situation to attack the Wagang army, and defeated several members of the Wagang army one after another.

When Li Mi learned of this, he ordered Wang Bodang to defend Kim Yong City, and Bing Yuan Zhen to guard Luokou Cangcheng, and personally led his elite troops to Yanshi to meet him. Pei Renji suggested that Li Mi attack the Eastern Capital, but Li Mi did not listen.

Who knew that Wang Shichong crossed the Luo River strongly, and the two sides fought at the foot of the mountain, and Wang Shichong broke Li Mi.

After a big battle, Pei Renji, Zu Junyan, Cheng Zhijie and others of the Wagang Army were captured by Wang Shichong, and Bing Yuanzhen, Shan Xiongxin and others were dissatisfied with Li Mi for a long time and surrendered to Wang Shichong one after another. The Wagang army was heavily damaged, Li Midong fled to Wujiaoguan, and Wang Bodang retreated to Heyang.

In desperation, Li Mi, who rebelled against his relatives, fled to Chang'an with the remnants of his subordinates, Ma Xi, and defected to Li Yuan by virtue of his exploits in blocking the army of the Eastern Capital for Li Yuan. And his generals Qin Shubao, Xu Shixian, Luo Shixin, Cheng Yanjin, etc., also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty successively.

Seeing Li Mi come to surrender, Li Yuan was very happy, worshiped Li Mi for Guangluqing and crowned Xing Guogong, and married his cousin Dugu to Li Mi, who affectionately called Li Mi his younger brother. At this time, it was already October of the first year of Wude.

In view of the death of Yu Wenmingda, on the ninth day of Gengchen (the ninth day of the first month), Tang Gaozu issued an edict appointing Li Shentong, the general of the Right Yiwei, as the ambassador of the pacification of Shandong Province, and all the soldiers and horses in Shandong accepted his command;

Since the beginning of September, after Li Shimin led a large army into Gaoqi, Xue Rengao sent Zong Luohu to lead the troops to resist, and Zong Luohu challenged several times, but Li Shimin stuck to the camp and did not fight.

Zong Luohu saw that the Tang army was defending the city, and had no choice but to start the scolding mode, leading the soldiers to scold under the city at dawn every day, twice a day without interruption, and the Tang soldiers in the Great Wall were excited and angry.

Seeing this, the generals in the army came to the camp tent to ask Li Shimin for battle, only to hear Pang Yu stand up and say to Li Shimin: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the more the soldiers under the command of Xue Wei are scolding, the more ugly they become, the last general can't help it, I beg you to allow the last general to take people out of the city and behead this Zong Luohu." After speaking, he looked at Li Shimin angrily, hoping that Li Shimin would be able to agree.

Who knew that Li Shimin nodded and said, "Which other general wants to fight like General Pang?"

When everyone heard this, they thought that Li Shimin was preparing to transfer troops and send generals, so they all got up to make peace, but Li Shimin said lightly: "Our army has just lost the battle, its morale is depressed, and the other party is proud of its victory, and it has the intention of despising us, so we should close the camp door and wait patiently." When they are proud, we will fight again, and we can defeat them in one battle. ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and they were about to continue to speak, but Chu Mofeng on the side said coldly: "Have you forgotten the shame of the last battle of Gaojaw? Why did you lose? There are not as many soldiers as others? Swords and guns are not as sharp as others? No, the reason for losing is that you don't listen to orders and go to battle privately, do you want to lose again this time?"

Listening to Chu Mofeng's words, all the generals present were silent, and Chu Mofeng said coldly when he saw this: "From today on, the Tiance Army will be stationed at the four gates, if any general wants to go to war privately without obeying the order, he will pass the pass between me and the Tiance Army first." After speaking, he turned around and left Li Shimin's camp and walked towards the Tiance army station.

Seeing this, Li Shimin got up and said: "Pass my order, the army will stick to the city from now on, and it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city to meet the battle without my order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded for public display." Whoever threatens to fight again will be beheaded together!"

With Li Shimin's order, the entire Gaoqi City quickly turned into a defensive state, and no matter how Zong Luohu outside the city scolded, the Tang army never went out of the city to face the battle.

That night, Li Shimin came to Chu Mofeng's camp, and saw that Chu Mofeng was wiping his weapons, and when he saw Li Shimin coming, he hurriedly got up and said, "What are you doing when you kid doesn't sleep so late?"

"I'm bored, so I'm here to take a look, I don't know what you think of the situation in front of you?" Li Shimin walked straight to the side and sat down, poured a cup of water from the teapot to his lips, and suddenly screamed, then threw away the cup in his hand, opened his mouth and desperately fanned the wind with his hand.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng on the side smiled and said, "I said, are you really stupid, didn't you notice that the water I soaked in was so hot?"

Li Shimin said angrily while fanning the wind: "Who knew that your kid would make tea in the middle of the night, come on, let's get down to business, tell me your opinion." ”

"First, we can afford this big battle, but Xue Rengao can't afford it, and second, I have already sent a message to Shuang'er and them, so that they can find a way to destroy Xue Rengao's grain and grass. Therefore, sticking to it is the right choice, we are now short of a time, and when the time is ripe, we can pacify Longyou in one battle. After wiping the Burning Sky in his hand, Chu Mofeng put the Burning Sky aside, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin took the tea and nodded, "How are you going to fight this time?"

"Frontal defense to disperse the enemy's forces, and then the Tiance army will attack with all its might, as long as the frontal combat can resist the opponent's offensive, you can rest assured about the attack, I also want to take this opportunity to test the results of the Tiance army's recent training. Chu Mofeng thought for a while, got up and added some water to the teapot, and then said what he thought in his heart.

Subsequently, the two sides were in a stalemate for nearly 60 days, until one day Xue Rengao's generals, Liang Hulang and others, led their respective teams to surrender. Li Shimin learned that Xue Rengao's generals and soldiers were divorced, and the grain and grass had already run out, so he hurriedly informed Chu Mofeng of the news.

After Chu Mofeng got the news, he came to Li Shimin's camp to see Liang Hulang and ask the reason, only to hear Liang Hulang say with a solemn face: "This general doesn't know, there is still grain and grass left in the city of Zhedu, who knows that a few days ago, there was news in the city that the place where the grain and grass was stored was on fire one after another, and the fire burned all the stocks, so the army ran out of grain and grass. ”

After listening to Liang Hulang's words, Chu Mofeng nodded at Li Shimin and said, "Prepare for war, this is what I said, the time has come." Li Shimin heard the words and hurriedly beat the drum to gather the generals, because of the insistence on more than 60 days, the war drums have never sounded, at this time the war drums suddenly sounded all the generals have come out of the tent to watch, only to see Li Shimin's personal soldiers standing outside the big tent shouted loudly: "The generals listen to the order, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has an order to quickly go to the big tent to gather." ”

When everyone heard this, they rushed to Li Shimin's big tent, only to see Li Shimin standing on top with all his arms and saying sharply: "Everyone, we have been scolded by that kid from Zong Luohu for 60 days, are you annoyed?"

As soon as they heard Li Shimin's words, everyone knew that there must be a battle to fight, and they all opened their mouths to echo, Li Shimin said with a smile when he saw this: "Since we are annoyed, then let's go out of the city to fight him, and let Xue Rengao see if we can only be turtles with shrunken heads." ”

Immediately, Li Shimin said: "Pass my order, Liang Shi, the head of the marching army, went to the shallow water plain at noon today to set up camp, and put on an offensive posture to lure Zong Luohu's army. ”

Liang Shi, who was at the head of the head, quickly led the order to prepare, and after seeing Liang Shi leave, Li Shimin continued: "Pang Yu has prepared his troops and is ready to be dispatched at any time, and the commander will lead the main force to meet the battle head-on, and General Chu will lead the Tiance army to attack the enemy's flank. ”

After Liang Shi was stationed in Qianshuiyuan, Zong Luohu, who was short of food, sent an elite army to attack the Tang army camp in Qianshuiyuan, in order to defeat the Tang army and return to the division as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Liang Shi urged the soldiers to fight with the Longxi army, which lasted for seven days, the military camp lacked water, and the people and horses could not even drink water, and the situation was very critical. But at this time, Li Shimin had already seen the weakness of Zong Luohu, on the one hand, he sent the general Pang Yu to camp in the south of the shallow water plain, in order to attract Zong Luohu's attack and reduce the pressure on Liang Shi, on the other hand, he arranged a large army to prepare for a decisive battle.

After receiving Li Shimin's order, Pang Yu quickly led the army to line up in the south of the shallow water plain, and Zong Luohu immediately sent a large number of troops to surround Pang Yu.

At this time, Pang Yu rushed to the front, and when he saw this, he shouted to the soldiers around him: I am not alive today, and I must fight to the end; the king of Qin is like a god, and he will definitely send someone to help us.

Just when the battle between Zong Luohu and Pang Yu did not stop, Li Shimin suddenly led the main force of the Tang army to surround the Zong Luohu troops, and the Zong Luohu troops fought Liang Shi and Pang Yu for many days, and they were already exhausted.

Seeing that Zong Luohu was defeated and retreated in the direction of Zheji City, Li Shimin took out a dart and threw it at the sky, only to hear a dull sound of horses' hooves on his flank, and everyone present looked sideways, only to see a team of cavalry with bright light armor, riding a horse in armor, like a killing god, under the leadership of the first general, to kill the retreating Zong Luohu Department.

Chu Mofeng heard the dart clamping his legs around the horse's belly, and shouted behind him: "Set up the Tiance battle flag, the battle flag will not fall, and the Tiance will not be extinguished." As soon as the words fell, a tall flag was erected behind him, only to see that there was no Datang logo on it, only a big 'annihilation' word.

Seeing this, everyone drew their weapons one after another, and as Chu Mofeng rushed forward to kill, four hundred people marched forward with murderous spirit, Li Shimin saw this and hurriedly mobilized two thousand soldiers to follow the pursuit, and the soldiers were tired on the way, Dou Liang knelt in front of the horse and begged bitterly: "Although we defeated Zong Luohu, Xue Rengao is still entrenched in Longxi, with big trees and deep roots, and it is not so easy to defeat." We'd better quickly collect our troops, rest well, and then determine where to attack. ”

Li Shimin shook his head when he heard this, and said: "I have been thinking about it for a long time, and today's situation is already overwhelming, and we must not lose this opportunity." Immediately, Li Shimin led 2,000 men and horses to continue the pursuit, and everyone fought until the city of Zhejicheng.

Xue Rengao poured the whole city's troops out of the city to confront Li Shimin in Jiajingshui, and when the Tiance army saw this, he immediately threw two rounds, which immediately stopped Xue Rengao's morale.

The two armies have not yet clashed on a large scale, and Xue Rengao's fierce generals Hun Gan and others have already crossed the river to surrender to Li Shimin.

In the evening, as most of the Tang army arrived one after another, the army besieged the city, Li Shimin stood under the city and shouted to Xue Rengao: "The surname Xue, back then, your soldiers surrounded Huangyuan, and the back encircled the high jaw, and today Li Mouyi will return it to you, if you are still a man, surrender quickly, I promise not to slaughter the people in the city." ”

Xue Rengao, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at the dense army under the city, his face was blue and he didn't say a word, but the guards in the city surrendered in the middle of the night, and Xue Rengao, who learned the news, had nothing to do but smile bitterly.

In the early morning of the eighth day of the first month, the gate of the city slowly opened, Xue Rengao took a group of Western Qin officials in the city out of the city to surrender, Li Shimin was overjoyed to see this, and hurriedly sent people to receive it, this battle won a total of more than 10,000 elite soldiers, 50,000 men and women, a number of gold and silver treasures, and Li Shimin's headquarters lost three-tenths of the troops, and there was no casualty in the Tiance army.

At this point, the Xue father and son who had been entrenched in Longyou for many years were finally annihilated, and the Longyou area quickly returned to the rule of the Tang Dynasty......

As the saying goes, enemies are very red when they see each other, and seeing that Li Yuan sent an envoy to deliver the decree, Mo Feng was furious and refused to obey the decree, which led Chu Mofeng to lead the team away and fly away, and Li Shimin's class returned to the court to make trouble in the palace, wanting to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition......
