The two parties were approaching, but the atmosphere was tense in vain.
Guo Shiheng did not maintain his bravery and launched an attack directly because he saw a continuous line of soldiers and horses behind Li Zhiyun, numbering tens of thousands.
In this pursuit, he failed to win a single battle. He knew that he would not be able to explain when he returned to Luoyang, so he hoped to take advantage of this last time. However, the opponent's tens of thousands of troops made him hesitate.
"General Guo, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, so it is difficult to attack with force." Wang Xuanshu wiped sweat from his forehead.
Guo Shiheng nodded, stepped forward on horseback, raised his gun and shouted, "Who is coming!"
"You are the one here." Li Zhiyun teased with a smile.
Guo Shiheng was immediately speechless. Where in this Nima could he actually make a joke? Was the ambush of three ambush lines really done by this young man?
It doesn't look like it.
Li Zhiyun immediately took two steps forward and said: "General Guo is brave and brave, why should he be loyal to thieves and bandits? Besides, he is still a bastard."
Guo Shiheng is not famous in history, only a few words, but he did not expect that he could defeat Master Sheng Yan. It can be seen that Wang Shichong was able to defeat Li Mi later not only by taking advantage of others' danger, but also by his own generals
There is also one third of the credit.
"My allegiance is to His Highness the King of Yue." Guo Shiheng said.
"Then who gave you the order?"
Guo Shiheng was immediately speechless. His skills with words were far inferior to those with his hands. Furthermore, Li Zhiyun was right.
Li Zhiyun Dundun taught: "General Guo, it's too late to turn back now. Wang Shichong, an ambitious man, will never succumb to others. Given time, he will definitely seek to seize the artifact. General, why don't you return to Chang'an with me to support the young master and restore the Sui Dynasty?
Woolen cloth."
Guo Shiheng was speechless for a moment, but Wang Xuanshu scolded Li Yuan for being an ambitious man and a traitorous official who usurped the Sui Dynasty. Wang Xuanshu was the second son of Wang Shichong, so it was natural and reasonable to say so.
Seeing this, Li Zhiyun lamented in his heart. Even though he knew who had great talents, he couldn't win them over in time, which was a kind of helplessness.
Both sides had their own fears, so they did not fight each other. They remained in a stalemate for two hours, and finally retreated.
The end of February in the fourteenth year of Daye, the end of February in the second year of Yining.
Li Yuan's idea of stealing chickens failed, and Luoyang became a battlefield between Wang Shichong and Li Mi. Soon after Li Zhiyun and others withdrew, Li Mi led an army of 300,000 to attack Luoyang. At this time, there were no more passes to defend around, and Wang Shichong could only continue to hold on.
Luoyang.
While Li Mi rushed to repair Jinyong City, he sent troops to attack Luoyang. Many of his powerful generals, such as Xu Shiji, Qin Shubao, Shan Xiongxin and others, were all brave men, and Wang Shichong complained endlessly when he was killed.
However, relying on the strength of Luoyang, Wang Shichong was able to hold on to this foundation after all. However, Lu Chu, Duan Da and others were determined that they could not attack Wang Shichong yet, otherwise Luoyang would not be protected.
After returning to Chang'an, the three brothers Li Zhiyun were not punished by Li Yuan. Among them, Li Jiancheng, who admitted his mistake, was instead summoned by Li Yuan to Emperor Yang You and granted the title of Shangshu Ling.
Li Shimin and Li Zhiyun also received many rewards.
"Yeah, I'm really ashamed of calling this kid." Li Zhiyun held the gift list with a wry smile on his face.
Li Yuandao: "The fire oil, steamed bun slices, and fried noodles you presented are all great achievements. My son can still bear this small reward."
Li Shimin didn't shirk it. He defeated Xue Ju and took such a small amount of gold, silver and silk without any pressure.
"In the end, it was my father who failed to see the situation clearly and struck out rashly, which is why he suffered such a defeat." Li Yuan sighed.
Li Jiancheng comforted him by saying, "Ah Ye, don't blame yourself. This time we have hastily mobilized the troops, my command was not good, and it is also a big mistake."
The father and son confessed to each other, which made Li Zhiyun curse in his heart.
Spring plowing was approaching, so Li Yuan also temporarily stopped attacking and let his sons keep an eye on the people working in various places.
This kind of thing is naturally the responsibility of the prince of Tang Dynasty. Li Jiancheng had just messed up the Eastern Expedition and urgently needed to do something to restore his reputation. Li Shimin was not interested in spring plowing. He wanted to summarize the pros and cons of this war and then prepare for the Eastern Expedition.
As for Li Zhiyun, his position is still the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. However, both Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang under his command were promoted this time and were appointed as commanders of the left and right armies of the Duke of Chu. With the establishment of Xue Shou, Xue Yuanjing and Du Ruhui, Li Zhiyun also inherited from Lao Li
Ask for it over there.
Although Li Zhiyun does not have the qualifications to open a mansion and appoint subordinate officials, Old Li can still understand that the Chu Kingdom's huge government needs one or two people to help him with matters. Even Li Yuanji was pushed over by Old Li.
Yu Wenxin, the chief minister, Dou Dan, the commander of the army, and assisted by Li Zhongwen and others.
I, Li Zhiyun, want one or two unknown people to assist me. This is reasonable.
But Li Shimin felt a little strange because Fang Qiao had recommended Du Ruhui and Xue Shou to him.
However, at that time, he was busy opening the ladle for Xue Ju, so he did not follow up on the matter. Unexpectedly, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou both became Lao Wu's people.
Of course, Li Shimin had no regrets in his heart. There were so many talented people in the world, not least of which were three melons and two dates.
Soon after, news of the Luoyang War came back to Chang'an. Li Jiancheng was working in the fields and was speechless for a long time after hearing the news.
When he first sent out troops, he hesitated. Later, when his second son wanted to send troops, he thought that he could not always give his second son the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so he decided to go to the battlefield in person. Unfortunately, he almost messed up the matter.
Now Li Jiancheng doesn't have much ill will towards Li Shimin. He just doesn't want the second child to be in the limelight all the time. Who is the eldest brother? Who is the crown prince of Tang Dynasty?
Moreover, every time he thinks of that groundless rumor, Li Jiancheng's mood becomes very bad.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to think too much. As long as you do good things, Your Majesty will remember them in your heart." Wei Ting said softly.
As a good friend of Li Jiancheng, he naturally understands the former's concerns. Qin Guogong has made many military exploits along the way. There is at most one Chu Guogong who can stand side by side with him in the army. Moreover, Chu Guogong's military exploits are not as great as Qin Guogong's.
This makes people feel uncomfortable, especially since the prince himself has not yet achieved any military exploits.
This is not a conflict between the two of them, this is their sense of crisis.
"I hope so." Li Jiancheng shook his head, feeling very unconvinced when facing his second son.
However, after all, it was his younger brother. Li Jiancheng was also wondering if he had thought too much. But every time he recalled what happened to Yang Yong and Yang Guang, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
The Duke's Mansion of Chu State.
Li Zhiyun's current itinerary is probably to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs first, then go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to handle things with Lao Li, and finally return home to do his own thing. But there is nothing major in these two days, so he doesn't need to be upset.
Moreover, Lao Li asked Liu Wenjing and Zhang Shigui to explore Henan, and the results were obvious, which made Lao Li very happy.
"Mr. Chu, should we keep the meal simple today?" Yu Wenwen came up and asked.
After the Yuwen brothers were captured, it took them two or three days to decide to surrender. Since they were given up, they naturally would not lick their faces and return to be loyal.
Li Zhiyun exchanged captured Luoyang soldiers for the Yuwen brothers and their families, which made them very grateful.
At present, Yuwen Wen is serving as the food minister of the Duke of Chu, and his elder brother Yuwen Rutong serves as the official literary rafter of the Chu State.
Li Zhiyun's personal studio, the simple shelf was finally set up.
