The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 466

Luo Yi listened to the plan of swapping horses and generals agreed upon by Li Shimin and Yang Yong, and the boss in his heart was unhappy. He asked him to send Mrs. Jiang to the enemy camp, but he could only save one Cheng'er, so what about Song'er?Why did Yang Yong make such a request, and why did your father and son agree?What kind of quick change is this?This is obviously using people from our Luo family as bargaining chips, please save your people from the Li family, damn it!
Luo Yi thought again, Li Shimin was negotiating with him on the surface, but in fact, the deal was done, they had reached an agreement with Yang Yong, the reason why they asked for their opinions was to save face.If you don't agree, you are ignorant of current affairs, and you are resisting the edict. If you don't agree, you will be beheaded, and if you are serious, you will be beheaded.Although I am high in the eyes of the common people, as valuable as the thousand years of King Youyan, but compared with the emperor's relatives, my life is still worthless, because since ancient times, the emperor ordered the ministers to die, and this is the iron-clad rule.If I agree, I can still save one of my sons, but now I can only save one of them.

Thinking of this, Luo Yi's heart ached like cutting flesh, but he still agreed against his will: "Your Highness is in charge of everything."

Hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, smiled and comforted Luo Yi and said, "Even though Brother Wang is recuperating well, please believe that Xiao Wang will definitely capture the culprits Yang Yong, Su Dingfang and others to avenge Brother Wang."

The two of them said a few more polite words, and Li Shimin took Fang Mou Duan back to the Tang army camp outside Linyi City.

Li Yuan's strategy Li Shimin is very clear. This time, his father has spent a lot of money on Yang Yong. Not only did he transfer the troops from the Prince's army, but he also recruited him himself. Not counting the defeated troops of Li Xiuning, plus There are three armies on Li Shimin's road, and the total number of troops invested by the Tang army is close to 40.Famous counselors and generals who are used to fighting were all transferred here. After rescuing Princess Pingyang, in Li Yuan's words, Linyi was to be turned into the tomb of Yang Yong and Li Jing.

Therefore, Li Shimin had no choice but to make corresponding adjustments to his original strategy. Originally, he planned to fight Yang Yong head-on and send partial divisions to harass Yang Yong's rear until Yang Yong showed his flaws, and then annihilated him in one fell swoop.Now Li Yuan is using the three-way encirclement strategy of soldiers and horses with iron arms. His 10,000+ soldiers and horses have formed a semi-encirclement situation facing Yang Yong's rebels in the north, east, and south. The remaining key place in the west is Hengshui. , if Hengshui is taken down, after the two Tang armies arrive, Yang Yong's tens of thousands of rebels will become shackles.

But Li Shimin also knows that Li Yuan's strategy has a fatal flaw, that is, the area around Bingzhou is empty. Since almost all Tang soldiers and Tang generals have been transferred to the Shandong and Tongguan battlefields, the internal prefectures and counties are seriously insufficient. Tang was in danger.Or after Yang Yong's reinforcements were assembled, the fighter opportunity was lost.Therefore, this battle must be resolved quickly.

After Fang's plot was resolved, Li Shimin quickly transferred back Liu Heita and Li Xiaogong, who had just captured Jeju, and asked Li Xiaogong to replace Luo Yi in Pingyuan. After doing Jiang's work, he escorted Jiang to Tangying, ready to change the general, and told Zhangsun Wuji that he must come back within eight days.Then 1 horses were transferred from Luo Yiyuan's account, and Li Shimin allocated more than 1 horses from his own account, plus Liu Heita's original soldiers, to make up 5 horses, and ordered him to attack Hengshui, demanding that he must Take Hengshui within ten days.

After Liu Heikai took the order, he left only 3000 troops to guard Jeju, and led [-] elite soldiers to Hengshui.

His gaze turned back to Linyi City.Su Dingfang and Wu Tianxi brought more than 4 horses to the outside of Linyi City. Yang Yong and Li Jing were overjoyed, and hurriedly sent an order to open the city gate and let them enter the city.

The second general greeted Yang Yong and Li Jing, the greetings were over, Yang Yong and Li Jing were deeply surprised when they saw that they were injured, and hurriedly asked what happened with concern.

Su Dingfang and Wu Tianxi didn't dare to hide anything, they both knelt down in front of Yang Yong, and told about the ambush of Wuyang and the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

After listening to the process, Yang Yong laughed and pulled the two together: "What is the crime of the two generals? Victory and defeat are commonplace in military strategists. There is no general in the world who does not lose a battle, even this king is no exception. What's more, you turned defeat into victory in this battle. , not only killed the Eighth Horsemen of Yanyun, but also shot and wounded Lao Luo Yi. Not only was he not guilty, but he was meritorious. More importantly, seeing the two of you resolve the previous suspicions and shoulder the responsibility with righteousness, this king was deeply moved and sincerely I am happy for you. Come here and write down a great achievement for the two generals."

Su Dingfang and Wu Tianxi were so grateful that they didn't know what to say.

Yang Yong ordered the military medical officer to re-examine and treat the two wounds. The two looked ashamed and said that a little flesh injury was not worth mentioning.Yang Yong saw that the second general was fine, and after rewarding the second general, he arranged for them to go down to rest first.

More than 4 horses were suddenly added, and the number of rebels in Linyi City increased to more than 8. What made Yang Yong even more happy was that with the arrival of the two generals Su Dingfang and Wu Tianxi, he had two more arms. There are soldiers and generals around Yong, and it is not a problem to defend Linyi City against Li Shimin.

A few days later, the happy event came again, and military commander Wei Zheng led Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Du Yi to lead 5000 troops into Qinghe County.

Yang Yong was overjoyed when he heard the news, so he discussed with Li Jingyi and asked them to stay put.With the arrival of these two king-capturing divisions, the rebel army has increased by 20. With the addition of his original soldiers and horses, the total strength of the rebel army is now close to [-]. What makes Yang Yong more at ease is that these generals who came may Wen or Wu, one is more powerful than the other, after changing generals, you can fight Li Shimin to the death.

There were still five days before the scheduled time for the change of generals. At this time, the horse came to report that Liu Heita led [-] troops to the north to bypass Dezhou to capture Hengshui.When Yang Yong heard this, he quickly called Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Su Dingfang into the tent to discuss the military situation.

After the analysis of the three think tanks, they agreed that Hengshui is the throat fortress connecting Shandong and Hebei, and there must be no loss. Otherwise, the supply line of the rebel army in the west will be cut off, and Mingzhou and Weijun will be exposed to the attack of the Tang army. under.What's more terrible is that the rebels in Dezhou, Linyi, and Wucheng counties have only one retreat route in Qinghe County in the southwest, which is dangerous.The current defender of Hengshui is Luo Shixin, and there are less than [-] soldiers in the city. The Tang general Liu Heita is brave and resourceful, and he has [-] elite soldiers.Therefore, Hengshui must immediately increase its troops.

Yang Yong nodded, and immediately sent General Du Yi to lead [-] volunteers to Hengshui to help Luo Shixin defend the city.

After this order was passed down, Yang Yong asked the three think tanks how to get Mrs. Jiang to persuade Luo Song to surrender after changing generals.

Li Jing smiled and said confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this subordinate has already thought about it. Luo Song is loyal. From the perspective of him traveling thousands of miles with his mother to find his father, this man is a filial son. As long as the Jiang family arrives in Linyi City, there is no need to persuade him." , Luo Song will naturally surrender to the prince, and then we only need to treat Mother Jiang preferentially." Wei Zheng and Su Dingfang also nodded in approval.

At this time, a small school came in and knelt down to report: "My lord, military advisor, something is wrong. The prince Li Jiancheng of the Tang Dynasty led an army of [-]. He suddenly appeared outside the city of Mingzhou three days ago. Mingzhou has now fallen into the hands of the Tang army."

This news was like a slap in the face, and Yang Yong, Li Jing and others were astonished when they heard it.
