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

Chapter 321 Xuanling's conspiracy, repeating the old trick
It's just that when the Qi army defeated Dong Zhuo's army and Gao Qi was about to pursue him, the Nanzheng defender Ding Tianqing sent an urgent report.

It turned out that the battle report stated: Li Xiaogong did not withdraw his troops back to Guanlong, but recuperated and recuperated in Hechi territory, preparing for war.

Always pay attention to the competition between the Qi army and Qiang soldiers in Hanchuan County.

Originally, according to Li Xiaogong's vision, the combat effectiveness of the Qiang soldiers was not weak, and there were a large number of them.

It should be able to fight against the Qi army in a separate court, and both sides will be hurt in the battle. Your own army can sit back and watch the success or failure, and the fisherman will benefit.

However, after the Qi army crossed the [-]-mile Yinping Mountain Road and successfully raided Jiangyou City, Li Xiaogong, who was familiar with the use of troops, knew that the Qiang army would be defeated.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong suddenly changed his original plan of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and immediately led the troops to attack Hanchuan again.

In case the Qi army completely defeated the Qiang soldiers, and the Tang army finally lost the opportunity to capture Hanchuan.

……

"hateful!"

"The Tang army is so bullying, that they dare to obstruct our army's plan to wipe out the Qiang soldiers."

"If it's Li Xiaogong who lives alone this time, I swear I won't withdraw my troops!"

Hearing this, Gao Qi clenched his fists tightly for a moment, his face was very ferocious and angry.

For a while, the verbal covenant between Tang Jun and Qi Jun came to an end!

Immediately, Zhang Yun took the lead in clasping his hands together and asked, "What should we do with the remnant Qiang soldiers who don't know how to escape?"

Hearing this, the other generals cast their eyes on Gao Qi one after another, and the heart of meritorious deeds in their eyes suddenly became frenzied.

After all, if a general wants to make military achievements and stand out, killing the enemy on the battlefield is the best way.

Now, our own army has defeated the Qiang soldiers, as long as they send troops to pursue them, they can make great achievements in battle.

After pondering for a while, Gao Qi said abruptly: "No need to chase!"

"The foundation of Dong Zhuo's army has been taken away this time. Even if he escapes to Hanyang, it is because of his ability to threaten Shu."

"So, our army turned the spearhead and treated the invading Tang army with peace of mind!"

For a while, when the generals heard Gao Qi's statement that the Qiang soldiers were nothing to worry about, they were all puzzled.

Gao Qi also noticed this, but he didn't say the reason.

After all, as a monarch, there is no need to tell his general everything.

Properly retaining a little mystery can maintain the majesty of the monarch.

During the march, Fang Xuanling slowly came to Gao Qi's side, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Ling just thought of a plan."

"As long as the plan is right, our army will definitely be able to wipe out the Tang army this time and capture Li Xiaogong alive."

Hearing this, Gao Qi was overjoyed immediately, and asked him what the plan was.

Afterwards, Fang Xuanling whispered in Gao Qi's ear.

Suddenly, Gao Qi and Fang Xuanling looked at each other, and then the two chief ministers burst into laughter.

This is a posture that is free to win and tramples the enemy underfoot.

Immediately afterwards, that night, Gao Qi secretly summoned Zhang He.

Afterwards, Zhang He led an army alone and disappeared, advancing towards his goal.

…………

It is only said that Li Xiaogong's troops marched from Hechi again to attack Hanchuan.

However, since Ding Tianqing was stationed in Nanzheng, he followed Zhuge Liang's order when he left.

Strengthen its defense line at the crossing, and now the defense at the crossing is extremely strong.

Compared with when the Tang army first entered Sichuan to attack Li Dingguo, its defense line was a few points stronger.

Moreover, because of Zhuge Liang's thousand exhortations, the Qi army absorbed the reason for Li Dingguo's retreat.

Send an army to guard Dingjun Mountain to prevent the Tang army from splitting up and raiding.

It's just that when Tang Jun arrived at the crossing, he saw that the defense line built on the opposite side was densely packed.

The chief general Li Xiaogong's eyes became serious for a moment, and he murmured: "I'm afraid this battle will be difficult!"

Hearing this, Chai Shao on the side was full of smiles and said: "His Royal Highness, you have forgotten when our army first entered Sichuan."

"Zhuge Liang's plan to raid Dingjun Mountain to sweep Hanchuan?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaogong shook his head secretly, and sighed bitterly: "This matter is inseparable!"

"Since our army once occupied Dingjun Mountain and captured Hanchuan, how could the Qi army make the same mistake?"

"Also, this plan was proposed by Zhuge Liang at that time, and it is even more impossible for Zhuge Liang not to set up a garrison in Dingjun Mountain."

For a while, Li Xiaogong analyzed the degree of their criticality one by one.

Hearing this, Chai Shao kept a little luck, and suggested: "In fact, we should lead the army to find out the truth."

"What if the Qi army is unable to garrison troops at Dingjun Mountain due to lack of troops?"

In the end, following Chai Shao's insistence, Li Xiaogong gave him [-] soldiers and horses, and divided his troops to capture Dingjun Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaogong ordered the entire army to cut down trees, build siege equipment, prepare for war, and prepare to storm the defense line at the crossing.

In fact, as for Chai Shao's plan to divide his troops to seize Dingjun Mountain, Li Xiaogong had no extravagant hope of success.

After all, for a genius like Zhuge Liang, it is impossible to ignore a breakthrough point as big as Dingjun Mountain.

The reason why the army was asked to go and find out, one is to not shame Chai.

The second is to attract the attention of the frontal Qi army, so as to provide opportunities for the Tang army to storm the defense line.

next day
Under the personal command of Li Xiaogong, the Tang army drove out of the camp in a uniform manner.

Go to the crossing to assemble the whole army, and after everything is ready, the attack begins.

Once the battle begins, it continues until the zealot phase.

I saw that no matter whether it was the soldiers of the Tang army or the soldiers of the Qi army, they all went all out to fight actively.

This is the real battle between the elite and the elite, and the degree of tragedy is far beyond description in words.

It's just that when the fierce battle at the crossing was in full swing, Chai Shao's army gradually approached Dingjun Mountain.

"This time, we were determined to successfully capture Dingjun Mountain and build military prestige for Erlang."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid the crown prince's popularity in the court must be deeply ingrained, and I'm afraid Erlang will never have another chance at the crown prince."

For a moment, on the horse, Chai Shao was thinking quietly, full of thoughts.

Although Chai Shao is Li Yuan's son-in-law, his relationship with Li Shimin has always been very close, and in his heart he hopes that Li Shimin will be succeeded as the crown prince.

When Li Yuan raised his troops in Taiyuan, Chai Shao heard by chance that Li Yuan said that after he became the crown prince in Guanlong, he would make Li Shimin the crown prince.

However, everything that Li Yuan did later made Chai Shao more firmly stand in Li Shimin's lineup.

It is only said that Li Yuan dominated Guanlong, after the founding of the country and proclaimed himself emperor, after all, he could not escape Zu Xun, who could not stand up for the elders but the young, and chose Li Jiancheng.

But Chai Shao, as a bystander, knows that Li Jiancheng's ability can at most keep his original foundation.

But the pioneering heart is not aggressive enough to make Datang grow stronger.

However, according to Chai Shao's understanding of Li Shimin, he found that Li Shimin was talented and ambitious.

Once such a character ascends to the throne of God, he will surely be able to open up territories and create a prosperous world.

Therefore, this is the fundamental reason why Chai Shao firmly stood in Li Shimin's camp in the end.

…………

"Report, deputy commander!"

"Our army has arrived at the foot of Dingjun Mountain. Do you want to attack?"

For a moment, following the report of the sentry cavalry, Chai Shao was pulled back from his thousands of thoughts to reality.

Can Chai Shao capture Dingjun Mountain and recapture Hanchuan?
