The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after the Tang army captured Yan Qi, the general of Zheng Guozuo Jianwei, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng led an army of 50,000 to Cijian on the second day, intending to wait for the rabbit to eliminate Wang Shichong's army that came to the rescue.

After the two led their troops to Cijian, they quickly went around to the rear of Wang Shichong's army and camped, ready to wait for an opportunity to inflict heavy losses on them.

Sure enough, Wang Shichong led the army to come to the rescue, and when he was about to arrive in Cijian, the scouts sent one after another reported that there was no trace of the enemy in the direction of Cijian, which made Wang Shichong, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, feel threatened, and couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

That night, Wang Shichong quietly withdrew the soldiers in Cijian City, and after meeting with the reinforcements, he withdrew to the eastern capital overnight.

Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng, who had been waiting for a day and a night, did not see Wang Shichong come to the rescue for a long time, and they couldn't help but be puzzled, and they were waiting to send scouts to investigate, but who knew that some of their soldiers came to report, saying that they had found traces of the march of the army outside Cijian City.

After learning the news, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng personally led part of the cavalry to investigate, and the two came to Cijian City, only to see a bunch of disorderly footprints printed on the ground, extending outward from the city gate, and it seemed that a large number of people passed by. And what the Tang army saw was only an empty city, and it was obvious that the plan formulated by Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng to annihilate the enemy had failed.

Looking at the footprints on the ground, Chu Mofeng said angrily: "This Wang Shichong is really lucky to run out of shit, this can be dodged by him, it seems that we have to change our plans." ”

Li Shimin, who was on the side, nodded, without a trace of discouragement, turned over and said to Chu Mofeng: "Let's go, since they have escaped, let's quickly return to the camp to reformulate the plan." ”

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng nodded, turned over and followed Li Shimin towards the direction of the camp. After returning to the camp, Li Shimin first sent people to Cijian with the intention of firmly controlling Cijian City, and then ordered the rest of his soldiers to quickly withdraw the camp and return to Xin'an.

After returning to Xin'an, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng rushed into the big tent without resting, and as soon as they entered the big tent, they saw Li Shimin throw the horsewhip in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "You said that this time you were wronged or not, it was originally a good show of waiting for the rabbit, but it was dissolved by Wang Shichong's old thief, not to mention the loss of grain and grass in vain, and the morale of the soldiers was also affected, I don't know where this old thief got his good luck." After saying that, he walked straight to the desk, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water, and poured it into his mouth regardless of the image.

Chu Mofeng, who followed closely, heard Li Shimin's complaint, shook his head with a smile, picked up the horsewhip that was thrown on the ground and said: "Don't worry, there is no confrontation between the two armies, if you have such a mentality, then I have to write to Your Majesty and suggest that you be transferred back to Chang'an." ”

"You ......" Li Shimin was slightly stunned when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pointed at Chu Mofeng and said, "Then what do you say? This time I didn't surround Wang Shichong, and next time there will be no such a suitable time." ”

"Pour a glass of water for the master, and I'll think of a way for you. After listening to Li Shimin's words, Chu Mofeng's mind quickly spun, and after thinking for a while, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said to Li Shimin with a slight joke: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin if he knows the meaning of the word encroachment?"

"Cannibalization?" Li Shimin picked up the teapot again and poured a glass of water for Chu Mofeng, brought it straight to him, and asked with a puzzled face: "What does nibbalization mean?"

"The outside world calls you, His Royal Highness King Qin Li Shimin, familiar with military books, haven't you read this "Warring States Policy: Zhao Ceyi"?" Seeing Li Shimin's confused appearance like a little white, Chu Mofeng couldn't help but reach out to support his forehead, and said with a smile: "The word encroachment comes from 'Qin encroached on the land of the Han clan' in "Warring States Policy: Zhao Ceyi". Metaphorically, at that time, the annexation of the land of the Qin State to the Zhao State was like a silkworm devouring mulberry leaves, devouring little by little. Since we can't win by surprise with a surprise army, why don't we blossom more and move forward step by step, and finally force Wang Shichong to a dead end?"

After listening to Chu Mofeng's words, Li Shimin walked quickly to the map and browsed carefully, while Chu Mofeng was holding a teacup, carefully tasting the tea in the cup, and looking at Li Shimin with interest.

Looking at the map in front of him, Li Shimin's eyes kept wandering back and forth between the Eastern Capital and Xin'an, muttering something from time to time, and after a while, Li Shimin nodded, turned to Chu Mofeng and said, "You still have the ability, I know what to do." ”

Immediately, Li Shimin ordered the soldiers outside the door to summon Shi Wanbao, the head of the march, Liu Dewei, the former general, Junkuo, the prince of Shanggu, and Huang Junhan, the head of Huaizhou.

After a while, the four of them came together, and when they entered the big tent, they found that Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng were included, and hurriedly saluted the two.

I saw Li Shimin's face and said slowly: "In view of the failure of our plan to encircle and annihilate Wang Shichong this time, this king and the Duke of Qi have discussed and decided to implement a cannibalization plan for the eastern capital, first sweeping the cities around the eastern capital one by one, and at the same time cutting off the grain routes of the eastern capital, and finally the eastern capital is completely isolated and isolated. ”

Speaking of this, Li Shimin suddenly shouted: "Shi Wanbao, the head of the march, listens to the order." ”

"The last general, please ask His Royal Highness King Qin to give orders. Hearing this, Shi Wanbao hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fist at Li Shimin, waiting for him to arrange a task for him.

"Order your troops to set off from Yiyang early tomorrow morning, quickly occupy Longmen, and copy the eastern capital from the south, and annihilate all the resistance along the way. Li Shimin looked at Shi Wanbao in front of him, took the lead in giving instructions, and then said earnestly: "General Shi must be cautious when he goes out this time, and remember not to be greedy for merit. ”

"The last will obey. Shi Wanbao nodded, and said in a firm tone: "Please rest assured that His Royal Highness King Qin and Grandpa Guo." ”

Former General Liu Dewei listened to the order. Immediately, Li Shimin ordered again.

I saw Andy Lau come out and say loudly: "The end will be." ”

"Order your department to set off tomorrow and quickly cross the Taihang Mountains, go east to surround Hanoi, and when you reach the designated position, quickly send someone to report. ”

"Please rest assured, His Royal Highness King Qin, the last general will definitely complete the task. Liu Dewei answered and stepped aside.

Then Li Shimin looked at Jun Kuo, the prince of Shanggu, and Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, and said with a solemn face: "You two follow my instructions, Jun Kuo set out from Luokou and is responsible for cutting off the grain route in the eastern capital. Junhan set out from Heyin and attacked back to Los Angeles by water. This attack must be fast and effective, and Wang Shichong, who wants to punch indiscriminately, can't figure out our intentions. ”

Hearing that Li Shimin had given him a task, the two of them hugged their fists one after another.

At this time, Chu Mofeng stepped forward and whispered to Shi Wanbao: "Uncle is old, it is better to be careful, after pacifying Wang Shichong, you have to go and see your niece." ”

Thinking of hearing that his only niece Shi Hanshuang had already dropped a daughter before the expedition, because he was in a hurry to go on the expedition and did not have time to visit in the future, he thought of the little girl who used to bounce in front of him, and now he not only married into the Guogong Mansion and was promoted to the title of Mrs. Yipin, but also became a wife and a mother, and looked at this thin young man in front of him, it was this person who stayed by the side of the Shi family without abandoning, cleared his name for his eldest brother, and restored the glory of the Shi family.

Thinking of this, Shi Wanbao hugged his fist at Chu Mofeng and said: "The battlefield is against the sword without eyes, and you must be extremely careful when you go into battle by yourself, after all, Shuang'er and the child are still waiting for you at home." ”

Chu Mofeng nodded, and then motioned for the four of them to retreat and prepare, and the four of them retreated one after another when they saw this, and hurriedly returned to their stations to start preparing for tomorrow's expedition.

On the second day, according to Li Shimin's arrangement yesterday, the army set out from their respective stations one after another and marched towards the set goal, while Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng personally led 80,000 troops to the foothills of the northern mountains, lined up in company camps and stationed down, and the troops were deep and high, and in this way they directly approached the waist of the eastern capital.

Wang Shichong, who learned of this news, quickly turned to a defensive posture, lest Li Shimin suddenly send troops to attack the city, but Zhang Gongjin, the governor of Weizhou, and Cui Shu, the assassin of Weizhou, seemed to have foreseen the scene of Wang Shichong's destruction, and soon after Li Shimin and others were stationed at the foot of the Beibi Mountains, they surrendered to Tang with the city of Weizhou.

Seeing that the enemy army surrendered the city, indicating that the dispatch of troops ushered in a good omen, Li Shimin was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded Zhang Gongjin and Cui Shu, and instructed the two to do their best to defend Weizhou, and not to go out of the city to meet the enemy without an order.

Then Li Shimin set his eyes in the direction of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and quietly waited for the other four news to come.

On the 14th of August, Huang Junhan, the governor of Huaizhou, sent the captain Zhang Yasha to attack back to Luocheng with an army, and after conquering the city, he captured Zheng Guo's guard Da Xi Shanding, cut off the Heyang South Bridge and returned to the army, and subdued more than 20 fortresses and settlements of Zheng State, and this battle cut off the supply of grain and grass in the direction of Luoyang in one fell swoop.

Wang Shichong was shocked for a while, and then ordered the crown prince Wang Xuanying to lead Yang Gongqing and others to attack back to Los Angeles, but Huang Junhan tried his best to defend, Wang Xuanying attacked one after another without success, and had no choice but to build a moon city in the west of Los Angeles and leave troops to defend it.

Knowing that Huiluocang was captured by Huang Junhan, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to celebrate in the camp, but was stopped by Chu Mofeng on the side, only to see Chu Mofeng smile and said: "This kind of celebratory wine, at least until Wang Shichong is completely wiped out, now it's just because this guy is stupid that we can get it, there is nothing to celebrate." ”

After being poured cold water by Chu Mofeng, Li Shimin couldn't help but say angrily: "Wang Shichong is stupid? If he was stupid, we would have been able to annihilate his reinforcements in Cijian before." ”

Who knew that Chu Mofeng stood up, pointed to the location of the map back to Los Angeles and the Eastern Capital, and said, "Let me ask you, is our Jingshi's granary in the city or outside the city?"

"In the city, this was originally to prevent the army from attacking the city, so as to provide a steady stream of food and grass for the defenders in the city, so it was ordered to be repaired in the city. Li Shimin looked at the two locations pointed by Chu Mofeng on the map, and there was a look of puzzlement on his face.

Seeing Li Shimin's puzzled expression, Chu Mofeng shook his head helplessly and said: "Wang Shichong, an idiot, put the grain and grass back to Luocheng, there is still a distance between this place and the eastern capital Luoyang, and it is usually able to guarantee the supply in the city at any time, but at this time, our Tang Dynasty came to attack the city, and this guy didn't even know how to transport the grain and grass into the city, do you say he is stupid? We have already taken the lead in dealing with such a stupid person, there is no need to celebrate now." ”

At this time, Li Shimin suddenly realized, and at this time, in the eastern capital, since Wang Shichong was facing the danger of running out of food, he had to make up his mind to repel the Tang army through engagement.

On August 18, Wang Shichong led an army of 50,000 troops to set up a formation in Qingcheng Palace in the south of the eastern capital. The two armies marched mightily and approached both sides of the Luoshui River from opposite directions.

Luoshui, which is usually undisturbed, seems to be a little restless today because of the arrival of the two armies, and the water surface swirls from time to time, and the sky has been dark since the early morning, and a cool breeze quietly blows.

At the forefront of Zheng Guo's army, Wang Shichong, who was dressed in military uniform, rode his horse and shouted to the other side of the river: "Listen to the King of Qin of the Tang State on the other side, after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, the Tang State was proclaimed emperor in Guanzhong, and the Zheng State was proclaimed emperor in Henan, and my Wang Shichong did not invade an inch of your Tang State to the west, King Qin, you suddenly led an army to the east and repeatedly captured the land of my Zheng State, I don't know what the King of Qin wants?"

Li Shimin was about to answer when he heard this, but was stopped by Chu Mofeng on the side, only to see Chu Mofeng whispering: "You are a good hand in fighting, and I have never lost to anyone in terms of fighting people, if you really come forward to answer, as if you are on call, it will inevitably fall our morale, and let me come forward." After saying that, he clamped his legs around the horse's belly and slowly walked forward a few steps.

When the Tiance army behind him saw their own handsome man come forward, they began to mourn in silence for Wang Shichong opposite, you must know that their handsome not only has superb martial arts, but also has unmatched kung fu skills, this Wang Shichong will inevitably be angry half to death this time.

Wang Shichong saw that Li Shimin was slow to answer, so he said: "I don't know if the king of Qin is a little ashamed of what this king said, if so, it is better to leave quickly and return all the king's cities, and this king can spare your life." ”

As soon as the voice fell, I heard a voice suddenly shout from the opposite side: "Sons, put up the banner of the little master, and let the old ghost on the opposite side recognize the person first." I saw that in the queue of the Tiance Army, a big flag was erected, and the big word extinguishing on the flag shook with the wind.

On the opposite side, Zheng Guo's army raised his sharp-eyed eyes and looked at the flag, and suddenly exclaimed, and then someone in the crowd shouted: "Why did this guy go out with Li Shimin, it seems that the previous scout return is indeed true." ”

And Wang Shichong also saw the word extinguishing on the banner, in view of the rumors of the person represented by this name, Wang Shichong himself was shocked, and the whole person seemed to be shocked by the murderous aura from the banner and faintly retreated.

I saw Chu Mofeng shouting loudly: "I don't know this Emperor Zheng, this world is divided, if you don't come to attack me, who says I can't attack you? Do you think this is a child's house?"

"The Duke of Qi is so sharp-tongued, since you are here to attack this king, there must be an explanation, right?" When Wang Shichong heard Chu Mofeng's words, he suddenly became angry, and said coldly to Chu Mofeng: "Since you want to attack, why didn't Li Yuan himself come in person?"

"The role of a native chicken and a tile dog like you is not worthy of our Majesty's personal conquest, who do you think you are? Turkic dog cubs?" Chu Mofeng stretched out his hand behind his back, secretly held a dart, and said to Wang Shichong with a slight sneer: "Didn't you see that His Royal Highness the King of Qin didn't bother to talk to you? ”

Speaking of this, Chu Mofeng paused and said with a smile: "I am the low-level general with the worst martial arts and the most stupid brain under my command of the Tang Dynasty, just send me here to deal with your majesty, don't think about how important you are, you are not worth mentioning in the eyes of your own country." ”

Chu Mofeng's series of cannons suddenly choked Wang Shichong speechless, and seeing that his father was humiliated, the crown prince Wang Xuanying, who was accompanying him, shouted angrily: "You bastard, eat this prince's arrow." As soon as the words fell, I saw a sharp arrow flying towards Chu Mofeng.

Chu Mofeng sneered when he saw this, and his hand that did not deduct the dart took out the dagger Huang Quan from his waist, and lightly touched the flying arrow, only to see that the arrow was split in half and flew out to both sides, and then Chu Mofeng sneered and said: "With your little ability, you still dare to march and fight, go back to wet the bed, eat me a dart." After speaking, the dart in his hand shot towards Wang Xuanying.

Seeing Chu Mofeng split the arrow with a dagger, Wang Xuanying suddenly fell into shock, it is rumored that this person is strong in martial arts, but he didn't expect to be able to reach this realm, and suddenly heard Chu Mofeng say eat my dart, when Wang Xuanying reacted, he saw a golden light magnified in his eyes, and in a panic, Wang Xuanying had no choice but to lean back, trying to dodge the blow by relying on an iron plate bridge, but he forgot that he was wearing thick armor, and his movement was very inconvenient.

Seeing this, Wang Shichong on the side hurriedly said loudly: "Duke Qi Guo, I don't know if it is possible for you and me to make peace with the truce?"

Chu Mofeng turned his head to look at Li Shimin beside him, and then said with a smile: "Truce and peace, I really doubt that you were kicked by something before you went out today? Dominate the Central Plains and prepare for the future resistance to the Turkic invasion, it is my lord Li Yuan's long-standing wish, at this time, you will make peace? I will give you three days, if you really want to make peace, open the city gate in three days and surrender, otherwise it will be your death when the army enters the city." ”

The scene was silent for a while, listening to Chu Mofeng's words, some people in Zheng Guo's army began to liven up, and Wang Shichong was speechless by Chu Mofeng's domineering ultimatum, so the two armies confronted each other across Luoshui, staring at each other quietly, the military flag fluttered across Luoshui, no one wanted to take the initiative to cross the river to attack each other, and the two sides were deadlocked until the evening, and when they saw that there was no result, they each left with their own armies.

That night, Chu Mofeng summoned Liu Feiyan and others, who had never been dispatched, and after some whispering, Chu Mofeng personally escorted a few people with the Tiance Army to sneak into the eastern capital Luoyang overnight.

After entering the Eastern Capital, Liu Feiyan and others quickly found an inn to settle down, and the five girls in the room sat around a table, discussing the details of saving people while eating.

On the second day, at the court, Wang Shichong proudly announced to the civil and military officials: "Do you know why Li Shimin does not dare to talk to me? Because he is a hairy child, he is afraid of meeting the old general!"

This proud statement soon spread among Zheng Jun, and people gave Li Shimin the nickname: "Hairy Child", and as soon as he called this nickname, Zheng Jun felt as strong as an ox.

Soon, Li Shimin learned about this from the captive, and he laughed instead of being angry: "It's a hairy child, or an old general, let's wait until after the battle on the battlefield!"

The three-day period was fleeting, and Wang Shichong would not surrender the city as Chu Mofeng expected, so Chu Mofeng ordered someone to shoot a notice to enter the eastern capital Luoyang, saying that since Wang Shichong did not repent, then from now on, the army would begin to carry out conquest and suppression, and no people and animals would be left behind.

Wang Shichong, who received the letter, was angry and hurriedly burned the letter, but somehow the content of the letter spread out, and for a time the entire Luoyang people were panicked, perhaps under the deterrence of the Tang army, Wang Shichong's subordinates rebelled one after another.

In less than two months, more than a dozen prefectures and counties such as Wei, Qi, and Xia to which Wang Shichong belonged were attached to the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin accepted the arrival of the returnees in full and gave them the greatest power within their range, so as to appease these people, so as not to cause trouble from these people during the war.

With Wang Shichong's generals and state and county officials, they came to the Tang Dynasty in an endless stream. Wang Shichong then increased the law, one person defected, the whole family, young and old, killed, father, son, brother, husband and wife can be spared death. Five families were also married, one family fled, the neighbors did not find out, and all four families were convicted of capital crimes. However, the more people killed, the more people fled, so that there were limits to those who went out of the city to cut firewood.

Wang Shichong also used the palace as a big prison, and those who were jealous in his heart were imprisoned in the palace along with their families; if the generals wanted to go out of the city to fight, they also had to keep their family members in the palace as hostages, and the number of people imprisoned was often less than 10,000, and dozens of people starved to death every day.

With the passage of time and the fall of the city, Wang Shichong's strength became smaller and smaller, and he began to panic. At this time, Wang Shichong knew that he could not repel the siege of the Tang army by his own strength, so Wang Shichong thought of Dou Jiande, so he sent someone to prepare to ask Dou Jiande to send troops to help.

But this move was already within the calculations of Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng. As soon as Li Shimin set off from Chang'an, Chu Mofeng wrote to Li Yuan to send an envoy to Hebei to lobby Dou Jiande and ask him to make peace with the Tang Dynasty.

Dou Jiande, who saw the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, happily agreed, and also allowed Princess Anchang, Li Shentong and Li Shi's father Li Gai to return to Chang'an with the envoy.

On September 17, the two counties of Yuan and Luochuan under the prince of Shanggu, Jun Kuo, and Wang Shichong, defeated Wei Yin, the general of Wang Shichong, and captured 30 rice boats at Longmen.

Chu Mofeng, who learned the news, signaled Li Shimin not to attack rashly for the time being, after all, Wang Shichong's grain route has been cut off, and he should be in a hurry at this time, and what Datang has to do is just wait for Wang Shichong's desperate gamble.

In the early morning of September 21, Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng went to inspect the Ma army. At the end of the morning, as soon as the two of them galloped into the gate and handed over their mounts to the guards to take them away, Fang Xuanling greeted them and said to the two with a look of embarrassment: "Qu Tu has arrested Yu Chi Jingde!"

Hearing the news, Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin were shocked, only to see Chu Mofeng ask loudly: "What is this old guy doing? Why did you arrest Jingde?"

I saw Fang Xuanling take out a letterhead from his arms, hand it to Li Shimin and say, "His Royal Highness King Qin, you will know it after reading it." ”

Li Shimin took the handover letter and carefully browsed it, and his brows gradually wrinkled together as he browsed......

As the saying goes, there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, and look at Li Shimin's anger in the Ma military camp, and then look at the flower design on the other side of Luoyang City to save people, I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition......
