Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 91 Procrastination
Li Shimin sowed dissension, and Yang Zhengdao, the emperor of the later Sui Dynasty, was very angry.

However, even though he was angry, he was able to calm down quickly, and then he looked at Li Shimin and said, "If you talk about stealing the country, your Li family is the real thief. Almost all of the great rivers and mountains of my Sui Dynasty fell into the hands of your Li family. I know you, Kaesong surrendered, I can spare your life, if not, after the city is broken, I will kill you Li Shimin."

Yang Zhengdao's age was not much different from Li Shimin's, and he was also very handsome at this time. After the two exchanged a few words like this, Master Liang shouted: "Say nothing to this Tang Tong, just take Luzhou City directly. "

Yang Zhengdao's expression moved slightly, and then he issued orders with Liang Shidu, and then Liang Jun and the soldiers of the Later Sui Dynasty swarmed towards Luzhou City.

Here, Li Shimin has already made preparations.

"Fire arrows!"

The sharp arrows rained down, temporarily suppressing the soldiers and horses in the city, but soon, Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao also ordered the archers to prepare to cover their attack on the city.

The sharp arrows from both sides came and went, and Liang Jun and the soldiers and horses of the Later Sui Dynasty came to the city quickly, and then began to build ladders to attack the city.

On Tang Jun's side, he was not afraid. Rolling stones and bars were thrown down one after another, and the enemies who fell on them wailed.

After the battle lasted for an hour, it was getting late. Although both sides suffered casualties, Luzhou City was still as solid as gold.

Yang Zhengdao saw that he had suffered a lot of casualties, so he said to Liang Shidu: "Ming Jin withdraws troops."

Master Liang intended to quickly take back Luzhou City. In fact, he didn't want to withdraw troops so early in his heart. But at this time, if he didn't withdraw troops, he was afraid that he would offend Yang Zhengdao.

If Yang Zhengdao led the troops to leave, it would be even more difficult for him to take back Luzhou City.

Thinking of this, Master Liang could only nod his head: "Ming Jin withdraws troops."

The soldiers and horses of the two countries retreated from the city of Luzhou. At this time, the sun had already set, and the cicadas in the distance suddenly became noisy.

Li Shimin looked at the retreating enemy army, but he didn't relax at all, because he knew that this was just the beginning.

The troops of the two countries set up camp five miles outside Luzhou City. As soon as they settled down with each other's troops, Yang Zhengdao went directly to Liang Shidu to discuss the situation.

"Emperor Liang, although we have more than [-] troops, it is not easy to capture Luzhou City easily, and we may even be slowly consumed to death by Li Shimin. For the current plan, I still need you to issue an edict to let your soldiers and horses from the Kingdom of Liang It is better to enter Luzhou City from the north."

Yang Zhengdao didn't want his soldiers to work too hard. After all, he captured Luzhou City, which was also for Liang Shidu.

Liang Shi is here and wants to capture Luzhou City as soon as possible, so he agreed without thinking too much, and then issued an edict, ordering the officials of the capital to gather troops and horses to break the city together.

As soon as the two agreed, a spy rushed to report: "Emperor Sui, something is wrong. The Tang army captured Yunzhou City with three thousand troops."

"What?" Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao were shocked at the same time.

If it is said that Li Shimin's [-] soldiers captured Luzhou City, they would not be surprised. After all, Li Shimin has always had strategies, and his soldiers and horses are very strong.

But there were only [-] soldiers attacking Yunzhou City, and there were [-] Sui soldiers in Yunzhou City. Even if they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't figure out how the Tang army did it.

Yang Zhengdao's face turned blue, he bit his lip and asked, "Who is the general Tang who leads the army?"

"It's a captain named Qin Tian."

"Unexpectedly, it's just a captain?" Yang Zhengdao was shocked again. It was a shame that a small eighth-rank captain took down his Yunzhou City with [-] soldiers and horses.

"Damn it, I want to go back and destroy this Tang army." Yang Zhengdao wanted to lead the troops back, but Liang Shidu's heart sank, and he quickly persuaded him: "Emperor Sui can't, if you go, the soldiers of our two armies will be too angry." If they are too scattered, it will be easy for the Tang army to defeat them one by one, so Qin Tian is just a small lieutenant, so there is nothing to worry about, as long as he kills Li Shimin, everything will be settled."

At this time, the spy also said: "Your Majesty, after Qin Tian captured Yunzhou City, he did not guard Yunzhou, but led his troops towards Luzhou, presumably to rescue Li Shimin."

Hearing this, Yang Zhengdao was not in a hurry to go back, Yunzhou City was not wanted by Tang Jun, it was still his, so Qin Tian gave up the city and came here again, which saved him the trouble of attacking the city.

It is much more convenient to solve him here than in Yunzhou City.

"Okay, well done, I will definitely make Qin Tian look good, and also, order to block the news of the destruction of Yunzhou City, so that the Tang army in the city cannot get a trace of the situation."

Yang Zhengdao knew that if Li Shimin knew that Qin Tian had captured Yunzhou City, then Li Shimin and the Tang army must have hope in their hearts. Once people have hope, they will have the courage to persevere.

But he wants to destroy Li Shimin's hope.

"Here!"

Here in Luzhou City, the situation is critical.

Lingzhou.

After Liang Shidu and Yang Zhengdao's [-] soldiers retreated, news soon spread to the military camp where Prince Li Jiancheng was.

After Li Ji heard the news, his expression suddenly sank, and he secretly thought it was bad.

If Liang and Later Sui's [-] soldiers are here, although they are a little bit hard, they will not be in danger of being wiped out, but if they send troops back to help, they will definitely besiege Li Shimin.

Li Shimin only had a few soldiers and horses, and he was afraid that the situation would be bad.

After thinking of this, Li Ji immediately went to see Prince Li Jiancheng. In his opinion, the only way to solve Li Shimin's predicament now is to repel the Turkic soldiers as soon as possible.

And just when Li Ji was about to meet Prince Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng had already received the news.

"Okay, now that the troops of Liang and Later Sui have retreated, we can concentrate our forces and wipe out the Turks in one fell swoop."

Li Jiancheng was very excited, but at this time, Song Gongqing suddenly waved and said, "Your Highness, the time has not come to attack the Turks, so it is better to wait."

"What are you waiting for, soldiers and horses gather, our Tang army has the strength to fight the Turks."

Song Gongqing shook his head: "His Royal Highness, Liang and Hou Sui's two soldiers are going to besiege the King of Qin. We have defeated the Turks here, and Liang and Hou Sui may have to keep their tails between their legs."

Song Gongqing dialed a little bit, Prince Li Jiancheng suddenly realized, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Song is still thoughtful and reasonable. Now is indeed not the time to attack the Turks. You might as well wait."

Song Gongqing smiled.

And at this time, a guard came to report: "His Royal Highness, England is going to see you."

Hearing Li Ji came to see him, Li Jiancheng smiled faintly. He and Song Gongqing glanced at each other, and then ordered, "Let him in."

"Here!"

The guards retreated under orders, and brought Li Ji in after a while.
