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

Chapter 549 Qi Tang Decisive Battle
It has been a year since the Qi and Tang coalition forces pacified the Henan area.

A year later, Li Shimin, the emperor of Li Tang, reached a consensus with Gao Qi and marched into Hebei respectively to attack Zhao Kuangyin.

It is only said that Qi Shuai Yue Fei led an army of 30 to march from Qi County and directly take the Bohai Sea and other eastern places.

As for Li Jing, he led an army of 20, crossed the Yellow River from Jibei County, and went straight to the central part of Hebei, Qinghe, Zhaojun and other places.

Of course, Li Shimin also led 20 people from Hanoi to the west of the Xia Dynasty led by Xu Shiji, governor of Henan.

Not only that, the emperor Li Shimin also ordered Li Mu to be the commander-in-chief, leading an army of [-] out of Huguan and attacking Zhaojun.

For a while, the Qi and Tang coalition forces were even more powerful, with about 80 soldiers and horses competing with each other in Hebei.

Although Zhao Kuangyin was capable, he each led the army to resist, defending the eastern front with Lianpo and resisting Yue Fei.

Taking Guan Yu as commander, he led the army to resist Li Jing's army in Qinghe.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, he personally led the army to face the Tang army that was about to leave the customs.

However, with such a huge army, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't support it alone, and the Jin army in the land of Youyan saw the right time.

Wanyan Agu led the Jin army's iron cavalry to invade Zhuojun and Shanggu wantonly, and his troops were even more aggressive.

Li Jilong, who was in charge of defending the northern front, was in a hurry and issued a document!

For a while, on the land of Hebei, more than a million troops were fighting fiercely there, and the people in various places were in dire straits, as tragic as usual!

After several months of fierce fighting, the Xia army took the lead in breaking through the center line, and Su Lie led the army straight into Guan Yu's army, and formed an encirclement with Li Jing.

After a desperate resistance, Guan Yu died under the siege of Yu Chigong, Qin Qiong, and Luo Cheng.

As a result, Xia Jun's middle line of defense was broken!
This seemed to be like a greenhouse effect. Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei on the eastern front also broke through Lian Po's defense line and seized the Bohai Sea, the plains and other places.

Because of Lian Po's stubbornness, he didn't want to be a prisoner of the Qi army, so he couldn't help but draw his sword and kill himself.

Yue Fei admired his integrity, and ordered the sergeant to bury Lian Po's body generously.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Fei and Li Jing discussed joining forces and swept across Zhaojun, Xindu and other places.

At this time, the battle situation in Shanggu became more and more critical. Yue Fei thought about Huaxia and decisively sent Xu Da to lead an army of [-]. With Yue Yun as the vanguard, he went north to support.

As the Qi army marched northward, they cooperated with Li Jilong to block the Jin army's offensive.

At this time, with the breakthrough of the Qi army, Li Mu and Xu Shiji also marched rapidly, advancing to the hinterland of the Xia Dynasty almost in a short period of time.

Subsequently, the Tang army joined forces and defeated Zhao Kuangyin several times.

In desperation, Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to present the surrender table and accept the surrender!
In the winter of 628 A.D., the anti-king who dominated Hebei finally perished under the offensive of the Qi-Tang coalition forces.

Immediately afterwards, the Tang army also took advantage of the situation and went northward, capturing Daicheng, Hengshan and other border areas.

As Zhao Kuangyin accepted the surrender, Li Jilong also felt grateful for the kindness and power of the Qi army in resisting Hu, so he took the initiative to surrender to the Qi army, expressing his willingness to fight against Hu together.

In an instant, the total strength of the Qi army on the Hebei battlefield had reached 60.

At the same time, Gao Qi, who received a great victory in Jiangling, ordered Li Jilong to be the governor, and continued to guard Zhuojun to guard against the Hu bandits.

As for Yue Fei, Xu Da was stationed in the land of Hebei, managed the land, and resisted Li Tang.

Afterwards, Li Jing and Su Lie were ordered to lead the army in the central plains area, secretly organize the army, and save food and grass.

Waiting for the opportunity, raise troops to march westward, destroy Li Tang in one fell swoop, and rule the world!
······
At this moment, Li Tang and Qi State also formally ruled by dividing land, the land to the east belongs to Qi, and the land to the west belongs to Tang.

Next, the two great empires of China also began to fight openly and secretly all year round.

Due to the number of battles, the consumption of both sides will be extremely huge.

Therefore, both Li Shimin and Gao Qi chose to strike and truce to accumulate strength.

The spring breeze blew, and the spring passed in March, and three years passed away.

In the past three years, Qi State has been governed by virtuous emperors and famous ministers. The people are full of food, the army is strong, and the country is rich.

For a while, Qi's military strength was even stronger!
At this moment, Gao Qi finally put the strategy of destroying Tang on the agenda.

Immediately, the guarding generals from all over the country were summoned to return to Jiangling to discuss the deployment of destroying Tang Dynasty.

After learning that the plan to destroy Tang began, all civil and military personnel happily agreed, and at this time the generals of the Qi army were even more delighted.

Because, the day when Qi State will unify the world is not far away, as long as the world is unified, it will be the day when King Gao Qi will come to the world.

At that time, these Conglong heroes who followed Gao Qi through life and death will definitely be the founding fathers of Da Qi.

How can all the civil and military people not be excited about such a light on future generations?

After some deliberation, Gao Qi decided that this time, the Tang Dynasty would be destroyed mainly with four armies at the same time.

Among them, with Li Jing's troops in the Central Plains as the main force, he led the army to directly capture the land of Luoyang, and fought a decisive battle with the Tang army.

Then, supplemented by Xue Rengui from Nanyang, he marched towards Wuguan to contain the Tang army in Guanlong and prevent the Tang army from reinforcing Luoyang.

Yue Fei, who was based in Hebei, led the attack on the direction of Bingzhou Taiyuan to contain the Tang army.

In the end, Zhuge Liang from Shuzhou and Baiqi from Liangzhou raised up their respective armies and marched behind the Tang army to harass Li Tang.

For a time, the Qi army was mighty and mighty, and the four-way army, with nearly a million soldiers and civilians, launched a battle against Li Tang.

Just say, when Gao Qi was discussing to destroy the Tang Dynasty, the navy led by Zhou Yu, Qi Jiguang, and Lu Xun at this time.

At the request, he led the Japanese slaves as guides and headed for Wajima by sea boat.

After defeating the Japanese pirates who attacked them that year, Gao Qi reduced the Japanese to slaves and let them mine ore day and night without being regarded as human at all.

Not only that, Gao Qi also trained the wildness of the Japanese, making the Japanese willing to become Da Qi's slaves.

Later, Gao Qi organized the soldiers and civilians under his rule to learn the Japanese language from the Japanese pirates.

After a few years, the time is ripe, and with the improvement of the treasure ship by Zheng He, its performance is even better.

Therefore, this time Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang led a navy of [-] soldiers and marched towards Wa Island.

Of course, with the development of Daqi's national strength, the Qi army's naval fleet has also expanded to a scale of 20.

As for the rest of the navy, under the command of Zheng Chenggong and Lu Xun respectively, they will stick to the Jiangdong coast and patrol the Huaxia sea area.

Not only that, but Gao Qi, led by Fu Youde and assisted by Shi Lang, was responsible for the formation of the Second Navy in Donglai County, Shandong.

It will be used to pacify Liaodong and the peninsula in the future.

Just say, at the time when Qi State's battle to destroy Tang Dynasty was in full swing.

At this time, Li Shimin also convened major civil and military forces in Chang'an to discuss the strategy of destroying Qi.

As the saying goes: Heroes see the same thing, the final decisive battle between Qi and Tang is coming, and the key battle that determines the ownership of the world will start here.

······
In 632 A.D., in the spring of March, just after the years, troops were mobilized frequently in Qi and Tang Dynasties, and supplies were being transported to the front line.

This is the precursor before the war, and it is the preparation before the decisive battle.

Afterwards, Gao Qi led the 20 royal army stationed in Jiangling and marched aggressively northward.

This time Gao Qi decided to personally conquer Li Tang, and vowed not to return unless he defeated the Tang army!
This is Gao Qi's spirit now, a fearless spirit.

In front of the gate of the palace, Gao Qi, who was nearly three years old, has lost his immature face and has become mature and steady.

There is also a faint green beard growing under his jaw.

At this very moment, Gao Qi was wearing military uniform, and was lingering with the eldest grandson Wugou who was seeing him off.

After a long time, Gao Qi said softly: "Wugou, don't worry, I promise you."

"Within a few months, the great lions of Qi will definitely destroy Tang, end the troubled times, and unify the world!"

"At that time, the lonely general will travel around the world with you, Wugou, live as two people, and wait for me."

Because at this time Gao Qi's eldest son, Gao Ping, was over ten years old.

Gao Qi not only let Li Cunxiao be his mentor to teach him martial arts, but also let Liu Bowen and Fang Xuanling as his mentors to learn the art of war.

Not only that, but he was also allowed to join the Imperial Academy to learn culture from many talents.

Later, Zhang Juzheng and Di Renjie were asked to teach him how to govern the country.

Of course, Gao Qi sometimes personally explained the art of manipulating people, how to control talents, and the strategy of managing the country.

Looking at this posture, Gao Qi directly cultivated Gao Ping as his heir.

However, Gao Ping has inherited Gao Qi's advantages, so many, heavy tasks, not only did not overwhelm this ten-year-old boy.

Instead, it made him work harder.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wugou was tender and firm, and said firmly, "Husband, don't worry, Wugou will definitely wait for the day when you return in triumph."

"We will also manage the harem well, and assist Ping'er in managing internal affairs, so as not to worry my husband."

Following Gao Qi's personal conquest in this battle, he also decided to let Gao Ping sit in the court temporarily to cultivate his monarchy.

Of course, due to his age, Gao Qi also ordered Di Renjie, Liu Bowen, and Zhang Juzheng to assist him as Minister Gu Ming.

For Gao Qi, what he needs is a real king, a top monarch who can secure the country when he is on his horse, and can stabilize the country when he is off his horse.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Gao Qi wants to train Gao Ping in all aspects.

Because Gao Qi didn't want the Great Qi Empire he had worked so hard to create to weaken in the second generation.

In the original history, when Li Shimin passed away, the Great Tang Empire ruled the Great Tang with Li Zhi's successor.

It's a pity that because of Li Zhi's weakness, Datang gradually obeyed the orders of a woman, and finally Wu Meiniang took the imperial power.

That's why Gao Qi resolutely let Gao Ping practice martial arts, because only by practicing martial arts can one's temperament be strong.

Only in this way can we have a strong response to internal and external troubles.

If you want the country to be rich and strong, and never be disturbed by foreign aggression, as a king, you must be strong.

After lingering with the eldest grandson Wugou, Gao Qi turned to admonish the young Gao Ping who was beside him.

"Ping'er, this time to recruit Li Tang for my father, the fate of the great Qi nation rests on you, who is now pure and weak."

"As a father, I can't bear it, but this is God's arrangement. As an orphan, you have to bear all of this."

"This is the responsibility you need, the path you need for the future."

Following the earnest instruction, Gao Ping nodded solemnly, and said slowly: "Father, don't worry!"

"My son will definitely live up to your expectations, and I will manage Daqi well with all the ministers."

"Don't let the father and king who are fighting have any worries!"

Seeing that his son is only at the age of weak crown at this time, he solemnly assured Gao Qi with immature words.

Gao Qi was moved, but couldn't help but look at him with admiration, and then hugged him in his arms and snuggled up to him.

After the farewell, Gao Qi turned around, led the army away from Jiangling, and headed straight north!

Looking at Gao Qi's gradually blurred back, Changsun Wugou kept staring at him without turning his eyes.

After a long time, he murmured, "Husband, Wugou wishes you to bring peace to the world as soon as possible, and to restore peace to the common people."

"It's a pity... Wugou is... not here..."

Thoughts surged up, Changsun Wugou unexpectedly spit out a mouthful of dirty blood without noticing.

Immediately, Changsun Wugou caught it with a handkerchief and covered it up.

······
Between the heaven and the earth, the sun is scorching now, the flags are flying above the official road, and the soldiers of Qi and Tang are going to the front line with all their strength.

The troubled times that have lasted for more than ten years are finally coming to an end at this moment.

ps: Another goal of [-] words has been completed.
