The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 425
In the past few days, our brother Yong has been very happy.Because everything was going according to his and Li Jing's plan, Luo Shixin miraculously captured Pingyuan and Dezhou in just two days, then Yang Yuling's men captured Hengshui, Princess Yujing led people to capture Shanghe, and Luo Shiying and Li Wan'er won Binzhou, which can be said to be good news.

Thinking about the strategist's strategy will soon bear fruit, when the time comes, he will gain territory again, and he will be able to subdue the mighty general Luo Song, Yang Yong is so happy that he will fall under the covers.At this time, Li Jing came to see Yang Yong and suggested that he order all the troops to leave a small number of soldiers to guard outside the city and quickly gather in Linyi City to form a besieged city. In addition, Luo Shixin was transferred back from Dezhou.

Yang Yong nodded, and soon several small school flying horses who sent orders left the tent and galloped away.As for the transfer of Luo Shixin, Yang Yong thinks it is necessary, because such a thick and thin general can stand alone now, and it would be a waste and a pity to lose him in such a big scene as the Linyi Annihilation War.Moreover, in such a big Texas, there are only 6000 to 3000 people including the wounded, and only more than [-] people can fight. It is necessary to increase the number of troops.But who to send to switch defenses?
Dezhou is different from other places, and a general with both civil and military skills must be sent to guard it.

When Yang Yong and Li Jing were discussing suitable candidates, a small school ran in to report: "Report to the prince and the military advisor that General Qu Tu is here!"

The two were overjoyed when they heard that Qu Tutong had been in charge of transporting grain and grass during this time. Not long ago, his brother Qu Tugai was killed in battle, and Qu Tutong was also slightly injured. This logistical errand.Now Qu Tutong came outside Yang Yong's camp with [-] elite soldiers, escorting grain and grass trucks. They came at the right time, and the two looked at each other with a smile. It couldn't be more appropriate.

Yang Yong took Li Jing out of the camp in person, Qu Tutong got off his horse no matter how far away he was, and knelt down in front of the two to salute him, they helped him up, after a few words of greeting, the three came to the tent, Yang Yong told him to go to Texas to defend Luo Shixin, and Qu Tutong graciously agreed.

After resting in the morning for a whole morning, Qu Tutong took his 1 elite soldiers with him in the afternoon, and Yang Yong drew another [-] soldiers from the battalion, making a total of [-] horses, and set off in a mighty way.Before leaving, Yang Yong asked him to tell Luo Shixin that after the defense change, except for the wounded, he asked Luo Shixin to rush to Linyi to join him with his troops, except for the wounded.

Two days later, Yang Yong's four beautiful wives and more than [-] people from Luo Shixin's five groups drove to the city of Linyi, and together with Yang Yong's troops, the total force exceeded [-]. The small town of Linyi was completely surrounded.

After discussing with Li Jing, Yang Yong and Li Jing believed that Linyi was an isolated city, and Li Xiuning could not escape, but there were still tens of thousands of people in the city. If there was a forceful attack, the casualties would undoubtedly be heavy, and the people in the city would also be unlucky.Therefore, they advocated besieging the city first, and after running out of ammunition and food, let the soldiers in the city obediently come out and surrender on their own. If they don't surrender, it will be easy to attack the city by then.But during this period, beware of Li Xiuning jumping over the wall in a hurry and leading the crowd to break through, so the four gates must deploy elite troops to defend.

After the agreement, Yang Yong sent an order to let Yang Yuling and Princess Yujing be in charge of the defense of the east gate outside the city, let Luo Shiying and Luo Shixin be in charge of the defense of the west gate outside the city, and let Li Jing and Li Wan'er father and daughter be in charge of the defense of the north gate outside the city. For defense, I am personally responsible for the defense of the south gate outside the city.

After the distribution, Li Jing added: "Generals, what you need to understand is that Linyi is already in our pocket, and it is only a matter of time before we take down the small city of Linyi. Therefore, the focus of this battle is not to take down this city. , but to capture Li Xiuning alive. During the besieged city, if Li Xiuning leads the crowd to break through, except for Li Xiuning who wants to live, the rest who refuse to surrender will be killed."

"No." All the generals promised to take orders and leave.

After dividing the troops and dispatching generals, Yang Yong and Li Jing thought about it again, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so they went back to their camps to deploy their defenses.

But people are not as good as God.On the second day when Yang Yong and Li Jing were trapped in the city, suddenly, the battle report came, Li Shimin settled Han Dongguo in Youzhou, Liu Heita's troops and territory belonged to Li Tang, Liu Heita took Liu Shishan Waiting for more than [-] soldiers to surrender.Now Li Shimin is heading south, and his soldiers have arrived in Cangzhou.

It turns out that we only pay attention to the battlefield between Yang Yong and Li Xiuning during this time, and Li Shimin, who has great ambitions, has not been idle these days.

After Fang Mou made a decision, Li Shimin finally asked his father for an opportunity to send troops to make meritorious service, and he would not let it go easily.Tang Wang Li Yuan was impartial, and gave them 10 horses each for the two siblings, and there were also many famous advisers and generals under his command.

Li Shimin set off full of ambition. After parting ways in Dingzhou with his second sister, Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning, Li Shimin led Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, King Zhao Li Yuanba, father and son of the Luo family, Shi Danai, etc., and led an army of [-] soldiers. Heading towards Youzhou mightily.

The purpose of their visit this time was not to fight, but to discuss peace with Liu Heita, but he also knew that Liu Heita was once a subordinate of Xia Wang Dou Jiande, and he was a character with ups and downs, which was extraordinary. You must be prepared for war and build up the momentum for war, so that the peace talks will develop smoothly in a direction that is beneficial to you.

After arriving in Youzhou, Li Shimin set up camp first. The camp of 10 troops stretches for tens of miles. In fact, his military camp is also intentional to make public. For a camp of 20 horses, the camp he set up can accommodate [-] soldiers and horses. .

After the camp was set up, Li Shimin temporarily changed his mind. He originally planned to ask Changsun Wuji to go to the city to talk to Liu Heitai on his behalf. Sun Wuji, a close minister, personally went to the city to negotiate with Liu Heitai on the specific matters of the peace.

During the negotiation, according to Li Shimin's instructions, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Luo's father and son marched under the city of Youzhou, displaying their muscles.For a time, under the city of Youzhou, swords, guns and flags covered the sky and the sun, and tens of thousands of soldiers lined up, with layers of armor, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky and the earth.

The peace talks in the city went ahead as scheduled.It's just that Liu Heita has also made full preparations, and the [-] troops in the city are ready to fight.

But these 5 troops are not all Han Dongguo's army. Liu Heikai is a bit pitiful now, including all the defenders in the states and counties. The total army strength of Han Dongguo is only [-] horses, and its territory is also small Unfortunately, there are only five or six states and counties left. Youzhou can be called his capital. Even counting the [-] Imperial Forest Army, there are only more than [-] people in the city. National General Liu Shishan.A country and army of this size is a bit ironic in ancient and modern China and abroad.

But Liu Heikai has great ambitions, and he plans to play bigger this time, not only playing Li Shimin, but also playing Turkic Geely Khan.Before Li Shimin's army arrived, he quietly sent Fan Yuan to Turkic with his secret letter, with the purpose of borrowing soldiers from Turkic again.

Fan Yuan is now the prime minister in Han Dongguo, and he is also the envoy of Liu Heitai. Turkic is really good to Liu Heitai, and he still welcomes Prime Minister Fan with the highest standard. In Stone City, Ji Li Khan of Turkic personally received him This well-dressed Prime Minister Fan.

Fan Yuan explained his intention after saluting, and signed Liu Heita's personal letter.

After Jili Khan finished reading it, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his face showed embarrassment. He secretly said, last time Ben Khan lent you tens of thousands of horses, but you lost everything in just a few months. This time you came to borrow soldiers again. It's over, we Turks are not your generals factory.Yes, we have a large number of Turkic soldiers, but no matter how many troops you have, you, Liu Heita, will not be able to stop you from tossing around like this. But if you don’t borrow money, Liu Heita will definitely not listen to you in the future. How can you answer this Han Dongguo? What about the prime minister?
Hey, there is!Ji Li Khan rolled his eyes, thinking about it.
