Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan looked at Zhu Di in the light and shadow, and thought of Li Shimin. If Li Shimin was really crowned the Eastern King and occupied Luoyang, he was afraid that Li Shimin would definitely do the same thing as Zhu Di.

After pondering for a long time, Li Yuan made a decision, but before announcing the decision, he wanted to ask Li Shimin one more question.

"Erlang, what do you think of Zhu Di?"

Li Shimin naturally felt that Zhu Di was very good. As a vassal king, he had great military exploits, but he was repeatedly persecuted, which was unbearable. He only felt that Zhu Di and he had the same problem. He had great ambitions, but could not display them in the court. It was really unbearable. He was extremely aggrieved.

An emperor like Zhu Yunzhen would not be allowed to rebel against him.

But thinking so in his heart, Li Shimin could not say that. When he heard Li Yuan's question, Li Shimin knew what Li Yuan was worried about.

In order to please Li Yuan, Li Shimin had to speak righteously and sternly. said:

"Zhu Di is a rebel, unfaithful as a minister, unfilial as a son, unkind as an uncle, and unjust as an elder."

"If you offend your ancestors, you will be punished by heaven and earth. You are an out-and-out unkind, unjust, unfaithful and unfilial person!"

"God is angry and people are angry, everyone gets it and kills it!"

Li Shimin's words, and then Li Yuan was slightly startled. He did not expect that Li Shimin would comment on Zhu Di like this. This was completely different from what he thought.

After taking a deep look at Li Shimin, Li Yuan decided to express his thoughts:

"Erlang, the Turks have become increasingly powerful recently, and the city of Mayi in Northern Xinjiang has been repeatedly invaded. Only capable officers can guard it to ensure the peace of Northern Xinjiang."

"I have thought about it, and among all the civil and military forces in the dynasty, only you, a great general, can take on this great responsibility."

""457"I wonder if you are interested in guarding the frontier for the Tang Empire?"

Mayi is just a small city in the north, close to the grassland area and north of Jinyang.

If you want to rely on the city of Mayi to resist the powerful Eastern Turks, it is simply a mantis trying to use its arms as a chariot.

Li Yuan's move was clearly intended to send Li Shimin to the north and no longer enfeoff Luoyang to Li Shimin.

After all, with Li Shimin's ability, Li Yuan has no doubt that Li Shimin is definitely capable of surpassing Zhu Di who is above the light and shadow.

By then, I am afraid that Li Jiancheng will never be Li Shimin's opponent, and will eventually become a prisoner of Li Shimin's subordinates.

Li Yuan sent Li Shimin to Northern Xinjiang for the purpose of dispelling Li Shimin's idea. Wouldn't it be equally happy to be a free prince in the north?

Li Yuan stared at Li Shimin, while Li Jiancheng looked overjoyed, and the atmosphere on the court became quiet and strange.

But this time, Shi didn't know how to refuse.

Even though he knew that going out to take office in Ma Yi would be a disaster, Li Shimin could only bow his head under Li Yuan's contempt.

"Sons and ministers, take the edict. Hearing this, Li

Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief. No matter what, the dispute between the two sons was finally resolved, and he must be able to live a peaceful life for a few days.

But he didn't know that at this moment, Li Shimin A crazy plan that Changsun Wuji had planned for him was constantly echoing in his mind.

【Just when Zhu Di was planning to seize the Ningwang family business, Li Jinglong was not idle either.】

【After hearing that Zhu Di had sent troops to Liaodong, Li Jinglong immediately realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he took advantage of it and broke through Peiping, he could make extraordinary achievements.】

【Immediately, Li Jinglong personally led 500,000 Southern troops to besiege Peiping. He built fortresses at the nine gates of Peiping and sent troops to attack Tongzhou.】

【At the same time, he also set up nine camps in Zhengba Village as the basis for the attack.】

【As soon as the camp was set up, Li Jinglong launched the attack without hesitation.】

【At this time, Zhu Di's eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, was stationed in Peiping. Zhu Gaochi was a disabled person. This disability was not that he was physically disabled, but that he was extremely fat and had difficulty moving. He had to be helped in and out.】

【In the eyes of many people, he is just a useless person, but Zhu Di understands this son who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside.】

【He knows that the heart of his fat son is much stronger than his appearance, and the fact that he handed over the task of defending Peking to Zhu Gaochi this time also shows Zhu Di's trust in Zhu Gaochi.】

【In order to increase Peiping's chances of winning, Zhu Di deliberately retained Yao Guangxiao to assist Zhu Gaochi, hoping that the two of them could hold Li Jinglong back and wait for his return as king.】

【However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel. It is not an easy task to defend Peiping with less than 30,000 troops in front of an army of 500,000.】

【The Confederate army used a large number of artillery to cooperate with the siege. Hundreds of thousands of people climbed up the city wall like ants. Although the defenders in the city were mentally prepared, they were still frightened by such a large formation.】

【Relying on the superiority of his troops, Li Jinglong chose the method with the heaviest casualties, but the most effective method, to attack the city with ants.】

【Due to lack of preparation, most of the defenders at Shun City Gate collapsed. The Southern Army found the opportunity and stormed the gate. They were about to break through. General Liang Ming of the Yan Army arrived. After the reinforcements arrived, the defensive force was greatly strengthened, and then the Southern Army The army's fierce offensive was repulsed】

【In addition to officers and soldiers, Zhu Gaochi also mobilized people, both men and women, to go to the city to help defend the city.】

【Because the Yan Palace is usually very friendly to the people, the kindness of the Yan Palace makes the people support Zhu Di very much. Now when life and death are at stake, the people choose to live and die with the Yan Palace.】

【The participation of the common people greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers defending the city and helped them withstand the attack. After a fierce battle, the troops besieging Shun City Gate were repulsed, and Peiping was temporarily saved.】

【Zhu Gaochi's thinking was much faster than his actions. He understood that sooner or later, Peking would not be safe if this continued. If he wanted to defend his father's return, he had to think of other ways, so he made a bold plan.】

【Li Jinglong looked at the crumbling city of Beiping and felt very proud. He was Li Wenzhong's son and he was born with good looks. However, some people have always said that he is just a playboy and does not have much ability.】

【Now Li Jinglong finally has a chance to prove that he is not a playboy, let alone a idiot. He is a famous general who can defeat Zhu Di and bring peace to the world.】

【This is an excellent opportunity. He believes that as long as he captures Peiping and defeats Zhu Di, he can get out of his father's shadow and let everyone recognize him!】

【Facts have proved that Li Jinglong is about to complete his transformation from a famous general, and is only one step away from victory. The city in front of him can no longer hold on for long. What tricks can an isolated city do? The day of victory is not far away.】

【However, just when Li Jinglong was feeling satisfied, the situation of the battle quietly changed.】

【As night fell quietly, Zhu Gaochi not only did not cower and defend, but instead sent a small team to cross the city at night and took the initiative to launch a desperate charge against Li Jinglong's 500,000-strong army.】

【Li Jinglong did not expect that the lone army in the city would dare to take the initiative to attack. There was chaos in the city for a while. In order to ensure his own safety, Li Jinglong ordered the entire army to retreat ten miles and set up camp.】

【But not everyone is as cowardly as Li Jinglong. Governor Qu Neng is a very talented man. He found opportunities in the chaotic battle situation.】

【He accurately judged that the Northern Army's night attack was just to deceive others and buy time. The best time to break the city was when it seemed chaotic!】

【After carefully observing the city's defense, he identified Zhangye Gate as the weakest link and led thousands of his men to storm the gate.】

【The situation was indeed as he expected. The Northern Army was indeed bluffing. Under his attack, the defenders of Zhangye Gate retreated one after another. Qu Neng was overjoyed and led the army to continue their efforts. He was about to break through the city gate and enter the city. An unexpected thing happened. , but it happened】

【In the Confederate camp, the sound of ringing gold suddenly sounded】

【Qu Neng was horrified when he heard the sound. He thought that the rear formation was missing, so he hurriedly gave up the city gate he was about to capture and turned around to retreat.】

【But when he returned to the Chinese army, he found that the army was safe and sound, and Li Jinglong looked relaxed and content, which made him very confused.】

【Obviously victory was right in front of him, why did Li Jinglong ask him to withdraw his troops? 】(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

【Li Jinglong's explanation is very simple. The army is too tired today and will attack again tomorrow.】

【But this is just a superficial rhetoric. The real reason is that he does not want others to take away the credit.】

【Li Jinglong thought he had found the weakness of the Yan army. He would come to break the city in person tomorrow and take credit for his achievements.】

【But he didn't know that this was his only chance to break through Peking, but he wasted it.】

【As the saying goes, if you don’t take what God gives you, you will be blamed. When Li Jinglong was about to launch an attack the next day, he found that everything had changed dramatically.】

【It was November at this time, and the temperature was extremely low. It dropped directly below freezing point at night. Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi hurriedly asked people to pour water on the city...】

【When Li Jinglong came again the next day, Beiping City had turned into an ice city. At this time, all the Confederate troops were dumbfounded. Under such circumstances, they were said to be attacking the city, and there was no place to help them. I can only look at the city and sigh】

【With Li Jinglong's perfect cooperation, Zhu Gaochi held on to the city and bought enough time for Zhu Di】

【This was Li Jinglong's stupidity, but it was also the cause laid down by Emperor Jianwen before. If Zhu Yunwen had not let Zhu Gaochi go, there would not have been the Peking Defense War today.】

【However, the evil causes planted by Zhu Yunwen do not stop there. Sooner or later, these causes and effects will be repaid one by one, until Zhu Yunwen completely goes into despair.】

【Li Jinglong put his troops under the fortified city, but Zhu Di was no longer the Zhu Di he was a month ago.】

【At this time, his subordinates gathered the most powerful Duoyan cavalry at that time. With these powerful foreign aids, Zhu Di was even more powerful.】

【Under excellent generals, the stronger the soldiers, the more powerful they can be in combat.】

【Although Zhu Di's number of troops was still far inferior to that of Li Jinglong, he understood that Li Jinglong, the so-called commander-in-chief of an army of 500,000, was just a straw bag with false appearances. Now he was going to crush Li Jinglong, a straw bag!】

【Although Li Jinglong failed to capture Peiping, he also learned about Zhu Di's southward march. In order to delay Zhu Di's southward march, Li Jinglong sent his general Chen Hui and 10,000 cavalry to stop the attack.】

【What's just ridiculous is that Li Jinglong didn't give any specific location or target at all, because he didn't know where Zhu Di was and how many people there were?】

【Helpless, Chen Hui could only take 10,000 people to search for Zhu Di's traces, and then try to delay as much time as possible.】

【It's just that it was freezing cold and the visibility was low. Where to find people? Chen Hui had no choice but to lead his troops around. But what Chen Hui didn't know was that Zhu Di was not far away from him, heading towards Peiping. advance】

【I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune, but Chen Hui and Zhu Di’s armies passed by without ever meeting each other.】

【But Chen Hui finally discovered a large number of horse hoof prints and marching traces on the ground. He was sure that these were the traces left by Zhu Di's army.】

【Chen Hui was extremely excited and followed Zhu Di's army along the traces. He did not take action immediately, but prepared to approach the army's base camp and then attack from both front and back.】

【Although the idea is good, it uses the wrong opponent】

【Not long after Chen Hui discovered Zhu Di, Zhu Di realized that he was being followed. He didn't talk nonsense to Chen Hui and directly sent the powerful Duoyan cavalry to attack Chen Hui.】

【In front of Duoyan's three guards, Chen Hui's 10,000 men were vulnerable to a single blow. The entire army was wiped out, with only his body spared. 0.0】

【This battle greatly boosted the morale of the Yan-Ning coalition. Zhu Di took advantage of the victory and pursued it, advancing towards Zhengcunba, Li Jinglong's base camp.】

【Li Jinglong received the news from Chen Hui and had already reorganized his army and prepared to fight against his childhood friend.】

【Zhu Di will also give himself, Zhao Kuo, the Ming Dynasty, a good practical lesson in Zhengcunba】

【The Battle of Zhengcunba began. Zhu Di sent out the three strongest Duoyan Guards to charge directly into the Confederate camp using central breakthrough tactics. These Mongolian cavalry lived up to their reputation. With overwhelming momentum, they continuously broke through the Confederate camp and defeated the Confederate camp. The army scattered and fled】

【Although the Southern Army suffered a disastrous defeat, their strength advantage was too great. After just some reorganization, they gradually stabilized their position and continued to fight against the Yan Army.】

【Hundreds of thousands of people fought with all their might, the sky was dark, the sound of killing was loud, and rivers of blood flowed.】

【The war lasted from early morning to noon, and then slowly approached dusk, and the war situation gradually fell into a stalemate.】

【A stalemate is not what Zhu Di wants to see. Because Zhu Di has insufficient logistics and a huge disparity in military strength, once the war is dragged into a war of attrition, Zhu Di will definitely lose.】

【Seeing the critical moment, a person's appearance helped Zhu Di reverse the unfavorable situation.】.......The dividing line..
