The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 279 Supporting Sui Emperor, Li Shimin Takes Command
"jump jump jump!"

With the sound of golden drums, Li's army finally launched a fierce attack on Chang'an City.

I just want to say that this time the coach Li Yuan put on a strong and sharp head, and personally went into battle to boost the morale of the army.

All of a sudden, the morale of the soldiers of Li's army was greatly shaken, and they frantically attacked Chang'an City!

…………

In an instant, a fierce offensive and defensive battle rang out again.

Although the city of Chang'an is strong and tall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li's army is powerful.

Coupled with the internal instability in the city of Chang'an, although there are Lu Zhi, Wei Wensheng, and a generation of military god Li Jing guarding the city.

But after holding on for more than ten days, Li Shimin took the lead in breaking through the south gate of Chang'an and entering the city.

So far, Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Sui Dynasty, has declared its fall.

In the end, with the fall of the city, Lu Zhi and Wei Wensheng drew their swords and committed suicide.

But Li Jing, the God of War, is nowhere to be found!
For a while, Li's entire army formally captured Chang'an and dominated Guanlong.

However, although the Li family has now become the real helm of Chang'an.

But how could Li Yuan, who is quite experienced in the city, not know the current situation?
I know that as long as I stand on my own at this time, I will definitely become the target of crusade by the heroes of the world.

Therefore, after some discussion between Li Yuan and his ministers, it was decided to establish the descendants of the Yang family as emperors to command the world.

After all, Li's army has just started up now, with a shallow foundation and weak strength, it is difficult to survive under the siege of heroes.

In history, it was the news of Yang Guang's death in the Jiangdu mutiny that Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor.

Although Yang Guang died long ago in this life, Li Yuan still did not dare to proclaim himself emperor rashly.

Because, although the Li family dominates Guanlong today, the areas they actually control are Jingzhao, Hedong, and Taiyuan.

The Liang divisions in Yan'an, Huaihua and other counties west of Chang'an are all entrenched here.

As well as Hexi Li Gui entrenched here, their strength should not be underestimated!
Not only that, Xue Ju in Longxi, Liangzhou even claimed to be the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, with strong strength and support!
Afterwards, countless separatist forces were entrenched in various parts of Xiliang.

With the existence of separatist forces, they all pose a threat to the Li family who have just established a foothold in the Guanlong area.

For a while, the emerging Li family was not enough to face many wolves and tigers against the king alone.

…………

A few days later, Li Yuan officially announced to the world in Chang'an City that he supported Yang Guang's grandson and Yang Zhao's third son Yang You as emperor.

Then the world was amnesty, and the name was changed to "Yining"!
Then, the so-called Western Sui Dynasty began to recuperate and rectify the administration of officials.

In a blink of an eye, the time came to the autumn of 619 AD.

At this time, Li's army was formally reorganized, and then Li Yuan, who was in charge of the government, ordered his eldest son Li Jiancheng to stay in Chang'an.

Help him to take charge of the government, stabilize the rear, and allocate materials.

And Li Shimin was appointed as the Grand Marshal of Zhengxi, and led an army of [-] to conquer Liangzhou.

In an attempt to completely pacify Liang Shidu, Li Gui, and Xue Ju who ruled Longxi in one fell swoop.

"My sons and daughters of the Li family, follow me to attack, wipe out the traitors, and restore peace to the world!"

In the school grounds, the Li family's army can be said to be like a cloud of generals, and there are many troops under his command.

Li Shimin, the marshal of Zhengxi, turned around and stood on the high platform, motivating the whole army with all his strength.

"Mighty, mighty!"

In the blink of an eye, the earth-shattering shouts of killing from tens of thousands of troops echoed across the world.

…………

It is only said that the army of conquering the west set out from Chang'an and marched westward all the way, almost all of them were welcomed by the people everywhere!
For a while, this made Li Shimin, the coach, puzzled.

Although since the invasion of Chang'an, their Li family has implemented a series of policies to benefit the people.

But this has only been a few months, and the influence of the people's will has not yet reached this level.

Immediately, Li Shimin summoned Sun Wuji, Sima Yi, Chen Gong, and Du Ruhui, the chief of staff under his command, to discuss.

Hearing Li Shimin's words, all the staff members began to think deeply.

After a long time, Changsun Wuji was the first to speak out: "Second Young Master, Liang Shidu is a man, so Ji has heard a little bit about him!"

"Master Liang is a full-fledged lackey of a foreign race, and often encourages the Turkic people to enter and rob."

"Therefore, the people under his rule have heard about a series of policies that benefit the people of our army in Chang'an."

"Therefore, it is not surprising that people resent Liang Shidu's rule and welcome our army instead!"

It's just that, following Changsun Wuji's explanation, the rest of the staff also nodded in agreement.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Li's army received friendly reception from the local people almost everywhere they went.

At this time, Li Shimin also did his part to inform many people.

"Folks, my name is Li Shimin, and I am the head coach of the Western Expedition."

"Now I can assure you all that as long as you abide by the law under the rule of our army, you will be able to have a stable life."

With Li Shimin's promise, his reputation among the people is increasing day by day!
…………

It's just that the Liang division who ruled here all heard the invasion of Li's army, and their faces were pale with fright.

After all, Master Liang only ruled one or two counties, and his strength is not strong.

For this large-scale westward expedition of the Li family, it is difficult for Master Liang alone to resist.

In addition, Li Shimin is the commander in chief this time.

When the Li family raised troops from Taiyuan and went south to Chang'an, Li Shimin was like a legendary figure.

Since marching all the way, almost every battle must be won and every attack must be conquered!

Such military power has long left a deep image in the minds of all the separatists and anti-kings.

It was heard that Li Shimin personally commanded the attack, and Liang Shi almost gave up the whole territory.

Stand firm in Yan'an and Huaihua prefectures, and defend the city in two lines to resist the attack of his Li's army.

…………

However, Li Shimin is not very human. After discussing with his staff and staff, he tried his best to lead the light army to attack Yan'an City, the hinterland of Liang Shidu.

The command of the army was temporarily handed over to the clan Li Xiaogong.

It seems that the destiny is in the Li family, only that Li Shimin led the light army to attack Yan'an.

Did not meet the slightest decent resistance!
But within a few days, Yan'an planted the Li Zhan Banner.

Looking sideways at the mountains of grain in the warehouse, Li Shimin smiled knowingly.

It turned out that when the scouts inquired about the news that day, the Liang division was shrinking the line of defense and gathering a large army to defend the two counties.

Li Shimin immediately thought of investigating the food and grass hoarding place of Liang Shidu's army.

After many investigations, Li Shimin finally learned that Liang Shidu's army was hoarding food in Yan'an.

Therefore, Li Shimin ignored everyone's dissuasion and personally led an army in danger, cutting off its food supply.

However, Li Shimin seemed to be lucky, and his luck was overwhelming.

It is not difficult to imagine how the army of Liang Shidu, who had lost the grain road, would defeat the attack of Li's army?
After the success of the strategy of assaulting Yan'an, Li Shimin immediately ordered the sentry cavalry to rush to inform the main force, and come to meet up urgently!
