Chapter 70 Make up your mind
Li Ye’s original plan was to defend Tongguan, plot against Fufang, and to alienate Li Maozhen, Wang Xingyu, and Wang Jian. Then he used the fertile land in Weibei to recuperate and train a new army. After five years, he could form an advantage over Li Maozhen, and then conquer Fengxiang, Bining, Hanzhong and other places, take down a complete Guanzhong, and then use Guanzhong to attack Bashu, recreate the strategy of the Great Qin sweeping the six Shandong countries.
Now it seems that there are too many variables.
Plans can never keep up with changes.
First, the three armies jointly attacked Chang'an, which allowed Li Ye to see clearly Wang Xingyu's two-faced and three-sword sword. This man was too unstable.
Second, if you develop, others will develop too. Li Maozhen and Wang Jian are not vegetarians, they will develop too.
3. Even if his strength exceeds Li Maozhen, he can kill him smoothly? In history, Zhu Wen, who was in full swing, defeated Li Maozhen step by step. He still fought with Zhu Wen for two years with Fengxiang's strong city. Zhu Wen tried every means but failed to capture Fengxiang.
And now, Li Maozhen stretched out his head from the turtle shell.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
His move to avoid the real and attack the virtual is indeed good, but it also penetrates deep into his own territory. Tongzhou is to the north, Shangzhou is to the south, Chang'an is to the west, and Tongguan is to the east.
It can be said that Li Maozhen sent it into the encirclement himself.
If the dragon regrets it, it will not last long.
Li Maozhen seems to have the advantage now, but in fact he is the appearance of Kanglong.
Of course, to lock this Kanglong, it depends on whether your net is strong enough.
The more Li Ye thought about it, the faster he could think, and thousands of thoughts suddenly passed through his mind.
Zhou Yunyi of Tongzhou must move.
The Jin merchant Feng Xingxi was also about to move, and Li Maozhen didn't know that Feng Xingxi had secretly surrendered to the court.
This is also a great advantage, and you can get the effect of surprise weapons at that time!
Then the key to all the problems is the 20,000 Wang Kejun hiding in Hezhong Prefecture!
Only by annexing Wang Kejun did this net of heaven and earth be considered to be formed.
How bold a person is, how rich the land is.
Nowadays, if you don’t play a little trick, how can you compete with Zhu Wen and Li Keyong, who crawled out of the dead?
He wanted to play farming in Guanzhong and develop secretly, but others would not give him a chance.
The order has been clear, and Li Ye no longer hesitates, "Xue Guangheng!"
"The last one will be here." Xue Guangheng has been paying his duties and responsibilities to protect outside the house.
"Click the personal guards to go to Hezhong Mansion!"
Xue Guangheng was stunned for a moment, wondering if the emperor had not woken up. Hezhong Mansion was in the hands of his superficial ally Wang Ke.
Li Ye's eyes swept over, "This is a military order!"
Xue Guangheng's whole body shuddered, "No!"
Half of the people from the Lieutenant Guard sent to the captive army to serve as middle and lower-level officers, and some were recovering from injuries, with only more than one hundred people coming.
Li Ye called Gao Xingzhou again and summoned more than 300 elite troops from his men to gather 500 people.
Originally, Li Ye wanted to take Yang Shihou with him, but considering that he was injured, he gave up this idea.
At present, Gao Xingzhou, the one with the highest martial arts skills in the army, should be similar to him, but Gao Xingzhou is only about twenty years old and has huge room for growth.
Seeing the emperor's journey, Li Yun was very worried.
All the hopes of the Tang Dynasty are maintained on this young emperor. If there is any accident...
Li Ye was full of passion and did not tell Li Yun what he was doing. "Tongguan is my life, I will give it to the general now!"
Li Yun was extremely excited and wanted to kneel down again. Li Ye helped him up, "You don't have much time. In three days, when I come back, I hope to see that there are 6,000 troops that can fight in Tongguan!"
"The last one will fulfill his mission."
Li Ye looked at the direction of Huazhou in the West, hoping that Huazhou could persist in its arrival.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t hold on. As long as you trap Li Maozhen, it’s worth it!
Huazhou.
Li Juchuan didn't know if he could hold on.
The idea of surrender was like a cat's claw, scratching his heart one by one.
But he finally held back.
The reason is very simple, Li Maozhen can't beat the emperor.
He had only seen the emperor's face three times, and each time he was impressed, feeling as if he was standing in front of the emperor without clothes.
This feeling is terrible. No matter how you say that I am old, I always feel fear inexplicably when facing the emperor.
Li Juchuan believes that this is the legendary power of heaven.
He has been cast in his life, but there is no loyalty. Sometimes, he feels that he is similar to a brothel girl.
In this chaotic era in the late Tang Dynasty, the status of literati was almost the same as that of brothel women.
But now, he vaguely felt that the most important opportunity in his life had come.
A cannon rock woke him up from his contemplation with a sharp whistling.
He was so scared that he fell to the ground. The stone flew over his head and hit the stone wall behind him, stirring up a burst of smoke and dust.
Tuoba Yungui looked at the army under the city with a blue face, but was so tired that he couldn't say a word. The armor was covered with knife marks and blood. He didn't remember how many enemy troops he had killed climbing the city wall.
The battle lasted for two days and two nights, and the two thousand imperial guards suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, the literati around him summoned young and strong men in the city to participate in the defense of the city, and barely defeated Li Maozhen's more than a dozen attacks.
Among these young and strong people, there were many Huazhou soldiers who were released back then. They were just soldiers wearing armor and had good kung fu. They had fought with Li Maozhen to the end for two days, and Tuoba Yungui could see clearly.
As soon as Li Maozhen arrived in Huazhou, he first burned the surrounding villages and towns and trampled on the fertile fields outside the city. This behavior aroused the great anger of the people of Huazhou.
The last time I did this was Huang Chao.
Who among the people in Guanzhong still remembers the Demon King Huang Chao?
So Li Juchuan recruited and responded to Huazhou City.
Some people even pick up wooden forks and go out of the city to make a living.
The crops were completely destroyed, what did they eat?
The people actually don’t care much about the changing king’s flag on the city wall, but they care about the crops in their fields. That’s their fate!
It was with the blessing of this public heart that Tuoba Yungui barely defended Huazhou City.
But now, he has reached the point where he has exhausted his energy.
The moat under the city was filled up as early as the first day, with dead bodies mixed with mud.
Li Maozhen's army is as endless as locusts.
"Can we hold on?" Tuoba Yungui suddenly whispered.
Under the city, the enemy troops rushed over like a tide.
Li Juchuan was stunned when he heard this. This was not like the personal army of the emperor he had seen. But it was not surprising that he was still so young, so it was normal to have doubts, "I will definitely defend it!"
This was not something he said casually, but that he felt that the emperor would not sit and watch the fall of Huazhou.
Tuoba Yungui laughed loudly, "No, I will definitely defend it. After this battle, I, Tuoba Yungui, will definitely become famous all over the world!"
After following the emperor for so long, he has been unknown. Who can bear it for young people?
The soldiers around him were so excited that they could not help but be amazed when they saw that he was still laughing.
Dong, Dong, Dong...
The war drums on the city became excited again.
However, Li Maozhen was dark at the city.
I thought I could win this time to attack Huazhou.
Unexpectedly, Huazhou has become a tough bone.
How did the emperor do it?
Li Maozhen felt a sense of fear. If he let him leave it alone for three or five years, he still has a way out?
Others may have it, but they must not. They mocked the emperor repeatedly and forced the killing of Prime Minister Liu Chongwang and Du Rangneng, which was already a mortal grudge.
This further strengthened Li Maozhen's idea of accomplishing his contributions in one battle.
I know my own family affairs. I don’t have much harm to Wang Xingyu, but it’s very insulting. Usually, this kid pretends to be a grandson in front of him, but now he bites him back, like a mad dog.
The real harm is Wang Jian. Hanzhong has been crippled and will continue to fight in the future. Wang Jian will not let Hanzhong, the portal of Shuzhong.
This is probably my last chance.
Take Huazhou and lock the emperor on the front line of Tongguan. Zhu Wen will deal with him at that time.
If the emperor is dealt with by Zhu Wen, then Guanzhong will be the only one in his own family, and Chang'an will be his own sooner or later. At that time, the entire Guanzhong will be his own.
