The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 431
For Youzhou, Li Shimin adopted a countermeasure of strong attack in order to achieve a quick victory. How could such a large city be defended by 5000 troops in the face of an attack of [-] elite troops?So the city was destroyed in just one day.The guard Li Chun died in battle, Li Shimin captured the city and captured more than [-] people, and all the rest died in battle. In this way, Youzhou also fell into Li Shimin's hands.

After taking Youzhou, Li Shimin stopped for a while, and continued to march south. Within two days, nearly 3 troops went straight to Fan Yang, and together with Luo Yiren and horses, nearly [-] troops led Liu Heitai's [-] More than [-] horses were trapped in a mountain depression in the east of Fanyang.

In this case, Li Shimin and Liu Heitai met on the battlefield.Li Shimin clasped his fists on the horse and laughed: "Brother Liu, are you safe?"

"Bah! Li Shimin, you played tricks to tear up the agreement, you backed your promise, killed my soldiers, and robbed me of my territory. You are really a villain. What face do you have to call Liu a brother?" Liu Heita cursed angrily.

Li Shimin smiled: "Take it easy, brother Liu said he wanted to stay in virtue, why did you say that? Yes, Xiao Wang took Yuyang and Youzhou a few days ago. But this is brother Liu's first use of troops against my General Luo. Xiao Wang had no choice but to do this. If you want to tear up the agreement, you were the first to tear it up, Brother Liu, so how can you place such charges on Xiao Wang's head?"

"You?..." Liu Heitai knew that Li Shimin was trying to quibble, but he couldn't explain this matter to him, so he said, "Then Liu came to ask you, Han Dongguo and Datang, we two have reached an alliance agreement, and we will be married forever." My friend, we used troops to deal with Yang Yong together, the ink is still wet, why did you go in the opposite direction, instead of attacking Yang Yong, you went to conquer the Turks, isn’t this a breach of contract, or something?”

"Oh, Xiao Wang was about to talk to Brother Liu about this. Brother Liu didn't know something. Originally, Xiao Wang wanted to conquer Yang Yong. But when Xiao Wang led the Li Liu coalition army to Fanyang, Xiao Wang suddenly had According to reports, the Turks gathered heavy troops in the Baihekou area, intending to invade our Tang Dynasty. Brother Liu knows that the Turks are barbaric and aggressive. The people burned, killed, looted, and committed heinous crimes. Presumably Brother Liu also knows that those who offend us in the Tang Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away. This time, the king must preemptively strike. Otherwise, if the backyard catches fire, we will lose everything.

At that time, due to the emergency of the military situation, Xiao Wang had no time to report to Brother Liu, so he made his own decision.After arriving in Yanzhou, the king ordered Gao Yang to lead his troops to guard Shanggu.At this time, Ma came to report that there were no Turkic generals in the Baihekou area. The so-called Turkic troops stationed in Baihekou intended to invade the country.

The king just wanted to send an order to withdraw his troops, but he didn't think about it.Gao Yang acted recklessly and was eager for merit, leading his Koryo cavalry to bloodbath the mouth of Baihe River.No, I've brought the culprit here, so I'll give Brother Liu an explanation. "Speaking, Li Shimin shouted behind him: "Come here, behead this thing who doesn't obey the general's order and makes claims without authorization!" "

With a promise, the subordinates chopped off Gao Yang's head in front of Liu Heita, in front of the formation of the two armies.

After Li Shimin killed Gao Yang, he pretended to be Liu Heikai and smiled indifferently: "Brother Liu, the culprit, Gao Yang, has already been punished. As for the soldiers who bloodbathed Baihekou, those who survived were killed by this king on the spot in Shanggu Town. If you don’t believe me, brother Liu can investigate. Now, brother Liu must be satisfied. In the future, even if the Turkic Ji Li Khan asks his teacher for a crime, or His Majesty the King of Goguryeo asks the truth, we will have the means to explain this matter to them. Let's stop here, Wang Wang, let's talk about the present, what is Brother Liu going to do now?"

This is called knocking out teeth and swallowing it in the stomach. Liu Heitai was angry and annoyed, and just about to order the three armies to fight Li Shimin to the death, his younger brother Liu Shishan pulled his shirt and whispered in his ear: "Brother , things are happening now, let’s surrender. Look at the situation, the morale of the army has been dispersed, and Han Dongguo is over. Our family is gone, and we are trapped in the valley by an enemy three times stronger. If we continue to fight, our more than 3 horses Including you and my brother, all of them have no bones left, and those who know the current affairs are the best."

Liu Heikai thought about it, and this is indeed the case. Now his more than 3 people have nowhere to go, nowhere to go, and they are all surrounded by heavy soldiers. They all show panic and uneasiness.

So he gritted his teeth, and Liu Heita ordered his subordinates to throw down their knives and guns and surrender.When Liu Heitai took Liu Shishan and knelt down in front of Li Shimin to plead guilty, Li Shimin was so happy that he got off his horse and helped them up, patted the second general on the shoulder and said: "Brother Liu abandoned the dark and turned to the light. He can bend and stretch. He is really a husband. Is there a crime? Xiao Wang will definitely invite his father, and the two brothers will definitely not lose their positions as princes." They thanked each other.

In this way, Li Shimin settled Liu Heitai and destroyed Han Dongguo. Under his rule, there were still four states and counties. Bazhou, Yizhou, Hejian, Cangzhou and other places all belonged to Datang. Liu Shishan and other more than 4 soldiers.In this way, not counting the 14 soldiers guarding Yuyang, Li Shimin can mobilize more than [-] troops.

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and hurriedly prepared a memorial to report the victory to Bingzhou. He rested in Youzhou for three days, reorganized his troops, adapted Liu Heita's subordinates, and turned them into his own fighting power.

Soon Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's imperial decree arrived. In addition to commending the meritorious soldiers such as King Qin Li Shimin, Liu Heita was officially named King of Handong, but his county was no longer in Youzhou in the northeast, but Handong County, which is today's Suizhou in Hubei , Liu Shishan was named a general.First order the two to follow the King of Qin, and then take office after the war is over.

After the fall of Han Dongguo, the attack on Yang Yong was in sight.Li Shimin led an army of 14 to march south according to the division, and stationed troops in Cangzhou.

At this time, a report came from Tan Ma, saying that Princess Pingyang was unfavorable in her army and suffered consecutive defeats. Military important places such as Dezhou, Hengshui, and Binzhou fell one after another.

As soon as Li Shimin heard that he had been hit in the head, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly called all the generals to discuss countermeasures.In fact, this is nothing to discuss. Saving people is like putting out a fire. Pingyang is Li Shimin's second sister, and she is the princess of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin asked general Shi Dayi to be in charge of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and asked Luo Cheng to lead 13 cavalry as the vanguard, one step ahead. He led Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and other [-] horses to Linyi day and night.

When the battle report came, Yang Yong was taken aback when he heard it, which meant that he was going to meet the famous Li Shimin sooner or later. Although he knew that there would be such a day sooner or later, he did not expect this day to come so soon. And when this day is really coming, Yang Yong will inevitably feel a little nervous.

Because after all, this is Tang Taizong who is famous in history.According to the original historical development, the father and son of the Li family wiped out the separatist forces in various places, opened up territories, smashed the barbarians, unified the world, and thousands of gangs came to congratulate them, creating a prosperous situation and bringing my country's feudal society to a prosperous period.Neither the original Yang Yong nor the self who traveled from the 21st century can compare with him. If you take off any of his historical auras, you can kill yourself.

Don't say anything else, let's just say that Cangzhou is only two hundred kilometers away from Linyi. With Li Shimin's arrival, our move may be nothing.

Thinking of this, Yang Yong hurriedly sent an order to find Li Jing to discuss countermeasures.
