Back at his residence, Dou Dan became more and more angry as he thought about it. He originally encouraged Li Yuanji to send troops to help the King of Qin defeat Liu Wuzhou out of public motives, but Li Yuanji wanted to use this to kill him. If Yu Wenxin hadn't reminded him, Li Yuanji would have
Only giving him a small number of soldiers and horses to support the King of Qin, wouldn't it be like throwing an egg against a stone and destroying himself?
"What a cruel heart!"
Dou Dan cursed angrily.
In the past, although he disliked Li Yuanji, he never thought of murdering him, but this guy actually set such a vicious trap for himself!
He is Li Yuanji’s brother-in-law!
After thinking about it, he ordered someone to get paper and pen, and immediately sent a letter to Shouyang, telling King Qin about the internal situation in Jinyang.
After finishing writing, the anger in his heart could not dissipate, so he wrote another letter and sent it back to Chang'an.
He was angry, and Li Yuanji was even more angry.
After he was stationed in Taiyuan, Xiahou Duan, Yu Wenxin, and Dou Dan restrained him time and time again. They had no idea that he, the General Manager of Bingzhou, His Highness King Qi, was really abominable.
This time, he wanted to use his plan to help Dou Dan, but he didn't expect that Yu Wenxin and Xia Houduan would jump out to hinder him.
hateful!
With the King of Qin in place, the Taiyuan War changed from Liu Wuzhou's siege of Jinyang to a field battle between King Qin and Liu Wuzhou.
The two sides fought fiercely in the areas of Yuci, Shouyang, and Yanyan Mountain.
At the same time, Li Zhiyun in Puzhou was also fighting against Song Jingang.
The two sides fought three battles, more than twenty minor battles, and countless encounters, with each side winning or losing.
Through the battle, Li Zhiyun has seen through the reality of Song Jingang. Liu Wuzhou's original army was not powerful. The real power was the 30,000 Turkic soldiers and horses set up by Chu Luo's son and Ao She. As long as he could capture these Turkic thieves, Song Jingang would definitely be defeated.
"According to the scout information, Song Jingang's troops, horses and food are mainly stored in Taiping Pass, and our army is now stationed in Baibi, Song Jingang and Ao She are in Jishan. If we can capture Taiping Pass, send troops to defend it, and cut off Song Jingang's food and grass, they will
Defeat is inevitable." Li Zhiyun pointed at the map and analyzed the battlefield environment for everyone.
After a while, Du Ruhui said: "Your Highness, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. It is difficult for Turkic soldiers and horses to move. The cavalry has difficulty in doing anything. Our army wants to raid Taiping Pass, but it is faced with many difficulties."
"I know." Li Zhiyun said: "We are in trouble, and the Turks are in equally trouble. If we continue to consume, all the cities in Jiangzhou will be slaughtered by the Turks. By then, the land will be thousands of miles away, which is not what I want."
Xue Shou analyzed: "Baibi is nearly a hundred miles away from Taiping Pass, and it would take two days for troops and horses to march there. If Song Jingang knew about it, he would definitely send troops and horses to support."
"That's very good." Li Zhiyun said: "If he divides his troops, I will attack Jishan directly and defeat his central army."
After a pause, he said: "I have received news from the King of Qin that he has led his army through Jingxing and arrived in Shouyang, and is dealing with Liu Wuzhou. If we cut off Song Jingang's retreat at this time, we will definitely make him panic and choose his own way, because of his
There are no troops in the rear to support him. By taking Taiping Pass, we can close the door and beat the dogs, and eat Song Jingang and Ao Sheshe!"
After speaking, Li Zhiyun glanced at everyone, "Who has any other opinions?"
Everyone looked at each other and had no objection.
"Very good." Li Zhiyun ordered: "Qin Qiong, Li Daoxuan, Li Daozong!"
"The general is here!" The three of them walked out of the queue, waiting with fists clasped.
"The king orders you three to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to attack Taiping Pass. We must capture it!"
"As you command!"
Qin Qiong and the others retreated.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said again: "Xie Shufang, Li Junxian, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin!"
"The end is here!"
"I order the four of you to lead an army of 20,000 to cover General Qin and others and pretend to attack Jishan!"
"As you command!"
After the four people retreated, Li Zhiyun looked at Duan Zhixuan, "I guess that Song Jingang must also be sending people to inquire about the place where our army is stationing grain at this time. Zhixuan, follow me and prepare to return to Wanquan to meet up with Chai Shao.
Just in case."
"The general will obey his orders."
That night, there was a storm and snow, and the Tang army was divided into three. One part was led by Qin Qiong, Li Daoxuan, and Li Daozong and raided Taiping Pass. The other part was led by Xie Shufang and went to Jishan to intercept Song Jingang. The rest followed Li Zhiyun back to Wan.
Spring to guard against Song Jingang's attack.
It is freezing cold, and it is most taboo to run out of food on the battlefield, because there is no food at this time, and you can only rely on the baggage and food brought from behind. Therefore, it is very important to ensure the safety of food.
The ground was covered with silver, and snow had not yet formed. However, it was getting increasingly cold at this time, and many horses froze to death. The soldiers also braved the wind and snow, pushing the baggage carts carrying ordnance and food and grass forward slowly.
Like ordinary soldiers, Li Zhiyun did not wear extra clothing to keep out the cold. He still wore armor and was always on alert.
Li Zhiyun was shivering in the cold air, and the hand holding the reins was cracked by the cold, and bleeding wounds could be seen faintly.
"Your Highness, you'd better go inside the carriage." Chu Suiliang advised from the side.
Li Zhiyun shook his head, "You are weak, so go to the carriage. This is my king's order."
After saying this, he directly ordered people to carry Chu Suiliang and put him into the carriage.
At this time, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou walked to his side on horseback.
"Didn't I ask you two to stay in the carriage?" Li Zhiyun frowned.
Du Ruhui laughed and said: "Your Highness, although my subordinates are not as brave as General Qin and others, they are still fearless in the wind and snow."
"Yes, Your Highness, you are the commander-in-chief of an army, so you should go inside the carriage." Xue Shou said with a smile.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun shook his head helplessly and said: "If I avoid the wind and snow at this time, what will the soldiers think? As a general, I should set an example."
No one wants to ride a horse in the wind and snow, but Li Zhiyun’s identity destined him to be strong.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun said: "Not long ago, there was news from Taiyuan that the King of Qi was guarding Jinyang City. Now the King of Qin has arrived in Taiyuan. The crisis must be resolved soon. As long as we deal with Song Jingang, we can go north to join the King of Qin."
Du Ruhui nodded and said, "It's so good. Your Highness's hard work is not in vain."
What a painstaking effort, Li Zhiyun thought he didn't do anything, he just reminded Li Yuanji a little.
This time Li Yuanji did not abandon Taiyuan and fled back to Chang'an. Although things would become unpredictable in the future, with Li Yuanji around, Li Shimin would not be able to monopolize power in military affairs.
At this moment, Chai Shao sent someone to come.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, Huang Ziying, the general under Song Jingang's command, attacked Wanquan at night!"
"Song Jingang is so good, as expected!" Li Zhiyun laughed.
No wonder this thing can defeat Li Shenfu, it really has something.
Immediately, Li Zhiyun ordered Duan Zhixuan to lead his army to Wanquan for rescue, while he led his army to cut off Huang Ziying's retreat in person.
The defenders of Wanquan were Chai Shao and Li Shenfu. There were only three thousand defenders. Facing Huang Ziying's attack of five thousand soldiers and horses, they were somewhat unable to hold on.
Duan Zhixuan rushed all the way and finally caught up, defeated Huang Ziying ten miles outside Wanquan, and forced him to retreat.
But Huang Ziying never expected that on his way back, Li Zhiyun had been waiting for a long time.
When the remnants of Huang Ziying's defeated troops appeared, Li Zhiyun immediately ordered an attack. The two sides fought for half an hour, and Zhang Shigui chopped off Huang Ziying's head with a single blow.
By this time, Huang Ziying's entire army was wiped out.
