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

Chapter 280 The establishment of the Tang Dynasty and the defeat of Qianshuiyuan
In the end, with the destruction of the grain road, the morale of Liang Shidu's entire army collapsed!

Later, under Li Shimin's military attack, Liang Shidu's forces perished.

Liang Shidu originally wanted to flee north, but was ambushed by Li Dian on the way to escape, and died in the ambush!
For a while, more than a month after the expedition, Li's army, led by Li Shimin, destroyed Liang Shidu.

Extending its territory to the west, Yan'an, Huaihua and other counties are now under the rule of the Li family.

…………

With the great victory of the Western Expedition, this could not help but give the Chang'an court a boost.

It also made many soldiers of the Western Expedition have high morale and enthusiasm!

After annihilating all the troops of the Liang Division and occupying Yanzhou and other places, Li Shimin and his staff analyzed the situation and decisively proposed to suspend the march.

Now, the Li family has wiped out the forces of Liangshidu in the Guanlong area with all its troops, and has really secured Guanlong.

However, although Li Shimin was able to quickly sweep Liang Shidu, it had something to do with his knowledge of soldiers and his skill in fighting.

But this is also the reason why Liang Shidu is weaker than Li Shi.

But now, Xue Ju, the self-proclaimed overlord of Western Qin in Longxi, has captured Qinzhou, and his troops are in full swing.

Today, the Qin army has 13 troops and is strong.

In addition, its territory is the source of war horses, so most of its soldiers are cavalry, and their combat effectiveness is very high.

On the other hand, Li's army is only infantry, and the time to form an army is still short.

Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Li Shimin chose to stop marching.

After all, the strength of our own side is far inferior to that of the Qin army, so we may make mistakes if we attack rashly.

After Li Shimin stabilized the situation in Yanzhou, he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

…………

In the end, as the Li family pacified all parts of Guanlong, their prestige increased day by day!
It's just that after the Li family gradually took control of the Guanlong area, Li Yuan's inner ambitions gradually swelled.

He also paid more and more attention to the supreme throne of the emperor.

All of a sudden, the important ministers under his command, headed by Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, entered the palace one after another to ask to see Yang You.

It's just that it's just asking for a meeting, but it's just forcing the palace!

After all, Yang You is just a puppet emperor established by Li Yuan, without any real power at all.

At this time, all the officials knelt down to remonstrate, and then Liu Wenjing took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Tang Wang Li Yuan has made outstanding achievements."

"Since marching into Guanlong to escort His Majesty, he has led his troops to various places to pacify Guanlong."

"On the other hand, His Majesty, who is just on top of the temple every day, boasting and talking, has no merit."

"Nowadays, the people of Guanlong are praising Tang Wang's talents."

"That's why this humble minister thinks that His Majesty should imitate the ancient victors and abdicate the throne to the King of Tang."

As soon as Liu Wenjing's Huayin fell, Pei Ji on the side also came out and bowed to beg.

Immediately afterwards, many ministers fell to their knees, kneeling and admonishing Yang You to abdicate.

Just to say, Yang You is only less than 15 years old now, how can I see this aura.

For a while, there was nothing he could do about the coercion of the officials.

"Your Majesty, the King of Tang is here!"

For a moment, when the situation was at a stalemate, Tang Wang Li Yuan, who was in charge of the government, walked into the palace with his head held high, spinning his sword.

Immediately, all the ministers scattered in two places, and they were not in full admonition.

At this time, Li Yuan looked around at the ministers on both sides, pretending to glare!

Then he slowly walked up to the dragon chair where Yang You was sitting, looked at the ministers on both sides, and said angrily: "In the future, whoever dares to persecute His Majesty who is too weak will be killed without mercy!"

In an instant, Li Yuan pulled out the long sword from his waist and slashed at the imperial pillar beside him.

For a moment, all the ministers were shocked by Li Yuan's angry expression.

"Your Majesty, are you surprised today?"

"What are you still doing in a daze, quickly help His Majesty go back to bed and rest!"

For a moment, Li Yuan glared at the servants on both sides and shouted loudly.

In an instant, Yang You was brought in by two eunuchs.

For a moment, all the ministers in the palace laughed heartily with Li Yuan!

In fact, this was originally a play played by Li Yuan and the ministers.

The purpose is nothing but Li Yuan to prove that he is a loyal minister who tried his best to protect the Sui Dynasty.

Although Li Yuan coveted the throne of the emperor.

However, in order to gain the legitimacy of seizing the throne, Li Yuan performed the series with all the ministers.

…………

It is only said that after Yang You three abdication of the throne, Li Yuan finally chose to accept Yang You's abdication for the third time.

Immediately afterwards, Yang You gave way to Li Yuan, and Li Yuan officially proclaimed himself emperor and founded the country in Chang'an.

The name of the country was in the Tang Dynasty, referred to as the Tang Dynasty, and the Yuan was changed to "Wu De", and then 619 was the first year of Wu De.

Later, Li Yuan officially announced that Chang'an was the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

And in the next step, Li Yuan also sealed off the officials.

Among them, Liu Wenjing shot from left to right, and Pei Ji was the minister.

The rest of the ministers were rewarded according to their merits, and each performed his duties!
In the end, the eldest son Li Jian became the crown prince and inherited the Datong.

And with the second son Li Shimin as the king of Qin, he can open the mansion and recruit staff.

In the end, Li Yuanba, the third son, was the king of Zhao in Xifu, and Li Yuanji, the fourth son, was the king of Qi.

And his eldest daughter, Li Xiuning, was named the Princess Anping of the Tang Dynasty, the first-class wife!
…………

Qinzhou, West Qin

It is only said that with Li Yuan proclaiming himself emperor, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

How can Xue Ju, who is the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, be inferior to others?

Immediately afterwards, Xue Ju, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, also ascended the throne and established himself as the emperor.

Later, after Xue Ju proclaimed himself emperor, he assembled a large army, and the soldiers pointed directly at the Guanlong area, Li Tang's center of gravity.

Suddenly, a layer of smog spread across the Guanlong area!
Now, with the massive invasion of Xue Ju, the most powerful force in Qinzhou.

For a while, the newly established empire Datang could not help but fall into crisis.

In the end, after deliberation, Li Yuan decided to continue to use Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the Grand Marshal of the Western Expedition, and set off on the expedition.

Immediately, Qin Wang Li Shimin personally led [-] Tang troops to fight against the Qin army.

However, the final situation was unexpected, because the Tang army suffered a major defeat in Qianshuiyuan.

Among them, the generals Murong Luohu and Li Anyuan of the Tang Army died in battle, and Liu Hongji was captured.

For a time, the soldiers of the Tang army were defeated, and five or six out of ten of the Tang army died!
Afterwards, Qin Wang Li Shimin packed up the remnants overnight and fled back to Chang'an.

In fact, this fiasco was not Li Shimin's fault.

During the march, Li Shimin accidentally contracted malaria.

Therefore, in order to recover from his illness, Li Shimin temporarily handed over the command to Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing.

However, Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing refused to listen to Li Shimin's instructions and insisted on fighting.

Finally, Xue Ju sent an elite cavalry force to the rear of the Tang army to attack it.

For a while, Tang Jun, who was in chaos, was defeated!

At this time, Li Shimin was helpless, so he had to lead the remnants to retreat.

Immediately, Xue Ju took advantage of the victory and occupied Gaocheng (zhuo) city.

For a while, the first battle since the founding of the Tang Dynasty ended in a big defeat.

Later, Xue Ju even ordered the captured Tang soldiers to cut off their tongues and noses, and tortured them to death.

Tens of thousands of dead bodies of the Tang army were piled up into a mountain, sealed with soil, and a "Beijing Temple" was cast to deter the Tang Dynasty.

…………

In an instant, the newly established Tang Dynasty encountered an unprecedented crisis.

It may be attacked and annexed by the West Qin army at any time.
