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

Chapter 329 The great victory in the south, the pacification of Bashu
In the end, after Li Yuan received the news from Chai Shao that the Qi army needed to exchange Lintao County for Hechi and Shunzheng.

After discussions between Li Yuan and the ministers, he had no choice but to adopt the plan of "changing rivers and ponds in Lintao and Shunzheng".

After all, although Lintao's geographical location is extremely important, it can be said to be a boost to control Xizhou.

But compared with Hechi and Shunzheng under the eyes of the capital Chang'an, its importance is insignificant!

Although the Qi army after occupying Lintao was able to gain a firm foothold in Xizhou, it posed a threat to the western part of Datang.

But now Li Yuan has no choice but to break his teeth and swallow, reaping the fruit for himself!
It should be noted that this time when Li Tang sent troops to attack Sichuan, he was busy for nothing.

But he also paid 20 shi in money and food to redeem Li Xiaogong.

…………

As Li Tang reached an agreement with Qi, all parties finally officially began to order the withdrawal of defense.

It's just that at this time Gao Qi also ordered the main force to withdraw from Hechi and Shunzheng, and retreat to Hanchuan County to hold on.

At the same time, an order was given to Lu Xiangsheng's troops stationed in Hanyang to immediately lead the army to Lintao to take over its territory.

Because Li Guangbi led the army in Lintao to resist the attack of the Xizhou coalition forces at this time.

Therefore, when Li Guangbi received Li Yuan's will, he kept his mind secretly.

It is only said that Li Guangbi planned to take advantage of the situation and withdraw all his troops to Longxi County to defend.

Before the Qi army could react, he handed over Lintao to the Xizhou coalition army.

At that time, Li Guangbi will be able to use legitimate excuses to explain the incompetence of the Qi army, which led to Lintao being captured by the coalition forces.

And he can lead the army to attack again and regain Lintao County.

It's just that imagination is always beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Because Lu Xiangsheng seems to have seen through Li Guangbi's attempt.

As soon as Li Guangbi withdrew his defense, Lu Xiangsheng took over Lintao County in its entirety without delay.

Not to mention leaving no time for the coalition forces to respond.

With some concessions, the change of county was completed very smoothly.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan also raised 20 shi of money and food from the major families in Guanlong, and sent it to Hanchuan County to redeem Li Xiaogong.

Subsequently, General Tang Qi once again deployed heavy troops on its border to guard against each other.

…………

It is only said that with the end of the dispute between Tang and Qi, the battle of Bashu also came to an end.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, who were originally stationed in Jiange, also encircled Zhang Ren's troops who attacked from behind the Yinping Mountain Road.

In the end, Jiange fell under the attack of Zhang Ren and Zhuge Liang.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were also captured because of the defeat.

At this time, it is only said that Su Lie, with the assistance of Sun Kewang and Zhang Song, successfully captured the two counties of Bashu and entered Chengdu.

As for Yue Fei's troops who went north from the south of Shu, Li Hui, a local official in Zangke County, defected to Yue Fei because of his admiration for the Qi army.

Therefore, Yue Fei took Li Hui as his guide to enter Shu, and as Li Hui became familiar with the southern mountains and rivers, Yue Fei's troops marched extremely quickly.

Moreover, because the Qi army entered Sichuan from the south, the local barbarians rushed to it to threaten them, so they spontaneously united to attack the Qi army.

Although attacked by the barbarians, Yue Fei is worthy of being the top commander, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and leads the army to meet the enemy!
Finally, because Li Hui lived in the south of Bashu for a long time, he was familiar with its mountains and rivers.

Therefore, he proposed to Yue Fei, feigned defeat and fled, led the barbarian army into the valley, and then encircled them to catch them all!
Since the barbarian army had no people who were good at using soldiers or resourceful men, they didn't see the Qi army's deceitful defeat at all.

In the end, the Qi army was successfully led into the valley, and then under the command of Yue Fei, the Qi soldiers marched out on all sides, blocked the valley, and besieged the barbarians.

What's more, the god general Yue Yun is even more conceited and brave, with a horse on his hips and a pair of hammers in his hand, he rushed into the barbarian army.

Cut and killed the barbarian leader Jinji on the spot, followed by all the barbarian leaders.

Therefore, the barbarian army was leaderless for a while, and was smashed into the valley by the Qi army.

Following closely behind, the remnants of the barbarian army who escaped by chance did not dare to fight against them.

They fled to the deep mountains one after another, intending to avoid the pursuit of the Qi army.

After the defeat of the barbarian coalition forces in World War I, Yue Fei was also ready to go, leading the army all the way north again.

Following Li Hui's plan to defeat the coalition forces, he was also valued by Yue Fei and relied on as his staff.

In the end, with the power to defeat the barbarian army, Yue Fei led his ministers to drive straight in and regained the counties one after another.

Subsequently, Yue Fei's troops successfully joined forces with Su Lie in Chengdu.

So far, since the Qi army entered Bashu, the battle of Bashu that lasted for several months came to an end.

The Qi army formally took over Bashu and incorporated its territory into the territory of Qi State.

…………

As Yue Fei led the army northward, the news of the great victory in the south spread to Hanchuan from the sentry cavalry.

After Gao Qi read it, he immediately circulated it for everyone to watch.

"Okay, okay!"

"Now Pengju's troops have defeated the barbarians in one battle, and completely pacified the south of you in central Shu."

"And Su Lie also pacified the two counties of Bashu and secured Chengdu."

"After a few months of fighting, the present time (ancient Chinese New Year) is coming soon."

"It seems that this time, all the soldiers can go back to their hometowns to recuperate!"

Following Gao Qi's rhetoric, the rest of the generals and counselors bowed their hands in congratulations.

…………

However, we all know that "blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly". Although Bashu achieved great success, news also came from the north.

Immediately, Gao Qi didn't dare to neglect, and immediately opened the battle report sent by the sentry cavalry to watch.

"cough!"

"Jin Machao, it seems that you are not willing to admit defeat and are ready to challenge the generals on your own?"

It turned out that this battle report was sent by Lu Xiangsheng from Lintao.

The reason is that our own army occupied Lintao, but Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, was young and restless.

Riding alone under the city challenged Qi generals, Lu Xiangsheng went out of the city to fight Ma Chao.

However, although Lu Xiangsheng was very strong in martial arts, after more than a hundred rounds, he couldn't hold on and returned in defeat!

After this battle, Ma Chao became even more arrogant, and even uttered wild words that he would definitely challenge the generals of the Qi army.

As long as one of the generals can defeat him, he will take the initiative to retreat and never violate the border!

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng sent someone to send the battle report to Gao Qi, hoping that he would ask for reinforcements.

However, after reading the letter, Gao Qi thought about it for a while, but did not send reinforcements to support him.

But just, send a person to the north, go to Lintao, and compete with Ma Chao.

…………

Lintao, outside the city of Meixiang, the coalition camp
At this time, many leaders of the Xizhou coalition army gathered in a group, and a middle-aged strong man with a refined appearance was at the top of the hall.

The man was Li Gui, the king of Hexi who ruled Hexi separately.

Because of the separatist forces in Xizhou, Li Gui was the most powerful, so the heroes headed by Ma Teng and Han Sui supported him as the leader.

At this time, everyone was discussing about one thing, that is, Ma Chao challenged Qi Jiang alone.

"Nephew, I wonder if you have made any progress in challenging General Qi?"

It's just that after a long time, Li Gui took the lead in asking the young generals in the tent who had passed the second tour a year.

I saw that he was dressed up with hair on his head, a silver helmet, and a silver robe and battle armor.

His face is even more dignified, with extremely correct facial features.

This will be Jin Machao, General of the Five Tigers of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

In fact, Li Gui admired Ma Chao very much and always wanted to win him over for his own use.

However, Li Gui solicited several times, but Ma Teng politely refused, so Wuyan took Ma Chao into his pocket.

…………

This time, after the Qi army occupied Lintao, the coalition forces were planning to withdraw.

However, Ma Chao was young and energetic, insisting on sticking to his own opinion and challenging the generals of the Qi army.

Therefore, the coalition forces have been stalemate outside the city and have not retreated for a long time.
