lazy tang

Chapter 283
"Is Niangziguan lost?" Li Yuanji opened his mouth so wide that eight eggs could be stuffed into it.He also went to Niangziguan last month, and Liu Wuzhou's soldiers and horses stayed outside the pass without moving.Why all of a sudden, Niangziguan was lost.For Li Yuanji, this was a bolt from the blue.

"Lost it...! With heavy snow and fog, no one saw the smoke from the beacon tower on Qingshiling. When Liu Wuzhou's men came down from the mountain, the soldiers in Guanli were still warming themselves by the fire. They were killed. If he can't do enough, the fierce general at the head can be called the enemy of ten thousand people. Those who escaped said that hundreds of people died under his horse." Dou Yan's hands and feet were trembling in panic, and he organized his words several times before finally Make it clear.

"What should we do? Has Yu Wenxin come back?" Li Yuanji was in a panic, and then he thought of Shi Yuwenxin, the head of Qi Wangfu.If anyone can stop Liu Wuzhou's men from rushing to Jinyang now.There is only Yu Wenxin!

"Yu Wenxin went to the north to guard against Mayi's sneak attack. The snow there was heavier than in Jinyang. The road was blocked by the heavy snow and the traffic was cut off. It would take ten and a half months to come back. At that time, Liu Wuzhou's The army has all reached the city of Jinyang. His Royal Highness King Qi, let's escape!" Dou Yan finally calmed down now, but what he was thinking about now was how to escape, not how to resist the city.

There are not many soldiers and horses stationed in Shanxi by Li Yuan, and they add up to 3 to [-].However, most of these soldiers are concentrated in the periphery.In Jinyang City, there are only two to three thousand old and weak stationed.The defense arrangement was planned by Yu Wenxin. The advantage of this arrangement is that it can keep the enemy out.Create a peaceful environment for Shanxi!
However, the disadvantages are also obvious, as long as you break through a little, you can directly approach the city of Jinyang.Yu Wenxin led troops to garrison in the north of Shanxi, just to resist the Turks and Liu Wuzhou.Unexpectedly, Niangziguan, which has always been called impenetrable, has fallen.

"No, Jinyang is my hometown. Please send reinforcements!" Li Yuanji naturally thought of his omnipotent father in times of crisis.

"It's too late, Your Highness. The army of Chang'an City was sent to the west to fight Xue Ju with King Qin. Even if there are reinforcements, it will be too late when they arrive in Shanxi." Dou Yan almost cried out. The men are all cavalry.In three or five days at most, they will arrive at the city of Jinyang.The ten thousand young and strong soldiers in Niangziguan are all finished, and two or three thousand old, weak and remnant troops are still guarding what goddamn city.

In the past few years, he encouraged Li Yuanji to do many bad things in Jinyang, once the city was destroyed.Even if Liu Wuzhou's people don't kill him, those enemies in Jinyang City will come to him and tear him alive.

"But running at this time, how can I explain to my father?" Li Yuanji held his head in his hands, if he really left like this.If he returns to Chang'an, he will be beaten to death by Li Yuan!
"My life is almost gone, so I'm afraid of what to say. Let's take the empress and Princess Pingyang together. It is said that it is for the safety of the two of you. I think your majesty will look at the face of the empress and Princess Pingyang. Forgive Your Highness."

"But just leave like this, who will be the queen? You have to keep someone in Jinyang for two days, and it's okay to put on a show! Otherwise, the overweight princes really have no way to explain it." After listening to Dou Yan's words, Li Yuanji My eyes lit up.That's right, there are two shields of Dou Shi and Li Xiuning.At that time, it was said that it was for the safety of the two of them, so they abandoned Jinyang.Although this reason is really not very good, it is more or less a fig leaf.There is no robe, but there are always pants.

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji calmed down a little.Seeing that Dou Yan had lost his mind, he turned around in the hall like a donkey pulling a mill.After almost turning around, he suddenly said, "Yes!"

Liu Dewei walked into the hall, the news of the fall of Niangziguan had spread throughout Jinyang city.As the marching Sima of Prince Qi's Mansion, Liu Dewei actually didn't get the Tang report.Just when he was thinking of asking King Qi if the news was true or not.It is a rare thing that King Qi actually summoned him.Throughout the year, the King of Qi may not have summoned him, the marching Sima, several times.

"See Your Highness King Qi!" Liu Dewei saw Li Yuanji sitting on a chair, although his face was a little pale.But generally speaking, it's okay, it doesn't look like an imminent disaster.It seems that the breach of Niangziguan may be a rumor.As the general of the Li family, he watched Li Yuanji grow up.He knew His Royal Highness King Qi best, if Niangziguan was lost, he would be lost, trembling like a stray cat that couldn't find a home.

"General Liu is free. You may have heard that Niangzi Pass has been lost." Li Yuanji said with a sigh.

"What? Your Highness, there are only two or three thousand old, weak and disabled soldiers in the city. Niangziguan is only two or three hundred miles away from Jinyang, and it can be reached in one day on a fast horse, even if it is a large army. Three days, at most five days. How can this be?" What should I do? I implore Your Highness to gather the young and strong to defend the city immediately. Then I ask Your Majesty to send reinforcements to fight against Liu Wuzhou's bandits." The doubts just now disappeared from Liu Dewei's mind, and he heard that Niangzi Pass was lost.Liu Dewei immediately said a few countermeasures that he thought of when he was on the road.

"What General Liu said is true, but this alone is not enough. The so-called defense of the city requires internal and external coordination. We will guard the city like this. If the bandits attack the city violently, we can only be passive and beaten!" Dou Yan suddenly interjected. road.

Liu Dewei was not used to Dou Yan, but he had nothing to do with this royal relative.Seeing Dou Yan speaking at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.When did this idiot know the art of war?

"Oh, what does cousin mean...?" Li Yuanji immediately asked Dou Yan for his opinion.

"The military book says that defending a city requires internal and external assistance. His Highness's steps are all elite cavalry. If His Highness can take these [-] cavalry out of the city to support them. When the bandits attack the city, they will continue to harass the enemy's rear and let the bandits You can't attack the city with peace of mind. And when the bandits are chasing His Highness, His Highness can quickly get rid of the bandits' pursuit by taking advantage of the fast maneuvering of the cavalry! In this way, Jinyang will not be lost for at least half a month. At that time, the army sent by His Majesty will also arrive .”

Dou Yan talked eloquently, talking about the art of war and strategy.Liu Dewei's jaw was about to drop, he stared at this dude with wide eyes, as if seeing Dou Yan for the first time.

"That's a good idea. It's a good combination of internal and external. General Liu is an expert in the army. I don't know what General Liu means!" After Dou Yan's performance, it was Li Yuanji's turn to appear.Li Yuanji immediately pretended to ask Liu Dewei, trying to put on an open-minded look on his face.

"What Dou Changshi said is correct. If you defend the city to the core, the opponent will attack the city with no distractions, which is very detrimental to the defending side. If there is a team that can penetrate the enemy's rear and keep harassing the enemy to prevent them Concentrate on attacking the city. It will indeed be very beneficial to defend the city, but the subordinates dare not let His Highness take such a risk. If His Highness sits in the city, let the subordinates go outside the city to harass the enemy."

Cavalry harassment may seem simple, but in fact it is the most dangerous.Liu Dewei couldn't bear the consequences of losing Li Yuanji.If Li Yuanji was really killed or captured, the enraged Li Yuan would definitely kill his whole family.

"It doesn't matter! I like hunting on weekdays, but I want to see if the bandits are like wild animals. If that's the case, I will take them in. Since General Liu also said that this plan is very good, I will take the palace guards six Hundreds of riders harass the periphery. The defense of the city is left to Liu Sima. As long as you defend for half a month, the army of the father will definitely come to crush the bandits."

After finally finding a chance to escape, how could Li Yuanji let Liu Dewei lead his troops out of the city.The words are extremely heroic, but in my heart I have already greeted the women of Liu Dewei's family over and over again.

Seeing Li Yuanji like this, Liu Dewei was also helpless.I can only hand in my promise, after all, he is His Royal Highness King Qi.The general manager of the Taiyuan Road march led all the soldiers and horses in Jinyang.But it's good for these two dudes to go out of the city, at least they won't stay in the city and make trouble.

"Since General Liu has no objection, you can issue all orders in Jinyang City from now on. You are empowered to defend the city boldly. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, I will leave the city tonight. General Liu , It is a great achievement for you to defend Jinyang. Gu must speak well for you in front of the father!" Li Yuanji left his seat and patted Liu Dewei on the shoulder twice.

"No, Liu Dewei will try his best to defend the city and live up to the expectations of His Highness and Saint."

Seeing Liu Dewei leave the hall with his chest held high, Li Yuanji and Dou Yan looked at each other and smiled.Sure enough, this martial artist fell for the trick, and after I left the city, I went straight to Chang'an.Let Laozi lead the troops to harass and fight outside?You are beautiful!

The entire Prince Qi mansion immediately moved, and at the same time Dou Yan and Li Yuanji split into two groups.All the way to sneak to pull the Queen Dou to run, and one to go to Yunjia Zhuangzi.Pull Li Xiuning who has just given birth and is recuperating!Nothing else, these two people are too important.If something happened to Dou's or Li Xiuning, Li Yuanji couldn't bear it and walked around.

As a member of the Dou clan, Dou Yan naturally went to pick up his cousin.Many times he was afraid of seeing Mrs. Dou, even though she was called cousin.But the age difference between the two is nearly 30 years old, and they are basically two generations.Every time I go to Dou's place, I will be reprimanded by Dou's cousin.

Li Yuanji knew that Li Xiuning was a tough nut to crack, so he could ask Dou Yan to persuade Dou Shi.But facing Li Xiuning, Dou Yan had no chance of winning.If you really want to annoy Li Xiuning, it is possible to kill Dou Yan on the spot.In desperation, he had no choice but to meet this tough sister by himself.

The two moved to the grave, and Li Yuanji rode his horse and swung his whip to the Yun family village as quickly as possible.

Li Xiuning is holding her eldest son, Chai Lingwu, while the mother and son are babbling and speaking foreign languages.Seeing Li Yuanji's visit, he couldn't help but said: "You are flying around all day, and it's rare to come to see your sister or nephew. Could something be wrong? I'm begging your third sister?"

"Third sister, something is wrong."
