However, when he saw more than ten thousand soldiers and horses below, Li Zhiyun gave up the idea.
The formation was rigorous and the advance was unhurried. Qu Tutong was prepared for a sneak attack!
"As expected of a veteran, experienced and experienced." Li Zhiyun put down his telescope and sighed: "The logistics soldiers all carry horizontal swords at their waists and wear bright armor. I don't believe them if they are not elites."
Duan Zhixuan squinted and could only see small black dots in the distance. He didn't have a telescope, so he couldn't see objects several miles away.
After all, he doesn't have the eyes of an eagle.
"In this case, we can only give up the attack on Qu Tutong."
"It doesn't matter, Qu Tutong returns to Pujin Pass. Our goal has been achieved. I ordered someone to tell Aye that we can cross the river."
"As you command!"
On September 24th, Li Yuan led his army to cross the river from Longmen, descend to Hancheng, enter the Changchun Palace, and capture Yongfengcang. In October, Li Yuan ordered the opening of the granary to release grain, and the people praised him, "Tang Gong is really a benevolent and honest elder."
.
When Guanlong shareholders saw how powerful Li Yuan was, they added shares one after another, allowing the company to expand rapidly. The number of employees at the bottom level soared from 70,000 to 80,000 to more than 200,000. In addition, the company's liquidity also skyrocketed, and many back-office canteens were sponsored.
The general manager's words and actions are different when his pockets are bulging.
Mr. Li ordered Mr. Li to take Liu Wenjing from the External Relations Department, as well as Wang Changkai, Jiang Baoyi and other safflower sticks to open a gourd for Qu Tutong at Pujinguan.
Mr. Xiao Li said that he received it. His little brother fought brilliantly in Hedong and even captured the troublemaker Yao Junsu alive. Naturally, he, the eldest brother, cannot lag behind others. In terms of performance, he is much better than his little brother.
Just a little bit.
Therefore, Qu Tutong became the best candidate.
Mr. Li and Li Laoer swept across Weibei, and many old officials from the countryside came to join him. For a while, the scenery was unparalleled.
As for Mr. Li, it was very difficult for him to conquer Hedong. Qu Tutong's performance was not easy to win. Although this guy was guarding the isolated city, Qu Tutong was good at guarding the city.
Seeing the second son and the general manager being killed in Weibei with red eyes, Mr. Li was extremely anxious.
Liu Wenjing, the Minister of External Relations, rolled her eyes and said to Mr. Li, we can't continue the stalemate here. The general manager is about to take over Daxing. It will be too late by then. We will have to share the cake and eat what others have left.
Down.
Liu Wenjing is a civilized person, so naturally she wouldn't say something so vulgar, but that's what she meant.
Are you fighting with the locals here to conquer Daxingxiang?
When Mr. Li thought about it, he thought it was no problem. The second brother had killed so many people along the way, and he had done a lot of credit. If he hadn't been able to take part in conquering Daxing, wouldn't he have fallen behind in vain?
But it was hard to explain when we went back like this, so Mr. Li decided to capture Tongguan, and then went back and told the general manager that this was a roundabout way to stop the aftermath.
Besides, there is no doubt about the importance of Tongguan.
Therefore, Liu Wenjing of the External Relations Department gave a thumbs up and agreed. Together, they gave up attacking the locals and turned around to attack Tongguan.
As a country bumpkin, Qu Tutong did not relax because Li Jiancheng gave up attacking Hedong, because he had already received news from Daxing that Li Yuan and Ma Zai were collecting protection fees everywhere in Weibei.
Immediately afterwards, news came from Tongguan that Li Jiancheng was attacking Tongguan.
As a result, the country turtle felt that he had been abandoned by the whole world and could only wander on the sea with this piece of wood in Hedong.
Li Zhiyun also seemed a little depressed. After Qu Tutong returned to Pujin Pass, he did not know what method he used to make the soldiers stop escaping. With the thousands of troops in his hands, attacking Pujin Pass was like giving away food.
Originally, the news that Mr. Li was attacking Hedong shocked Li Zhiyun and even praised him as a hero.
Then, Mr. Li turned around and gave up on Qu Tutong and chose Tongguan to deal with it.
Li Zhiyun was so angry that he finished three bowls of rice in a row!
"It smells so good." Li Zhiyun put down the bowl and chopsticks and burped, looking satisfied.
Duan Zhixuan looked around and saw that there was no one else in the tent, and said: "Sir, my lord is about to conquer Daxing. When the time comes, he will reward you based on your merits. Even Chen Shijun has packed his luggage and left for Guanzhong, so we still have to stay.
?"
Yesterday, Chen Shuda said righteously that he was going to Guanzhong to report to his lord the war in Hedong.
"Keep it!" Li Zhiyun picked up the rice grains on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it while saying, "We have done a great job in defeating Qu Tutong."
"But Pujin Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I'm afraid we won't be able to defeat Tutong with our few troops."
"So, we have to use surprise attack."
"How to attack by surprise?"
Duan Zhixuan feels that he can't keep up with Li Zhiyun's thinking. Can he still make a surprise attack after defeating the pass?
At this moment, Uncle Xie came.
"Sir, people are here!"
Li Zhiyun laughed and said, "My surprise soldiers are here."
Not long after, a man walked into the big tent. This man's name was Xue Shou, and he was the son of the great scholar Xue Daoheng.
In addition, he was also a student of the great Confucian Wang Tong.
What a coincidence, Li Zhiyun is also Wang Tong's student.
Therefore, Xue Shou is Li Zhiyun's senior brother. Both of them studied under Wang Tong's sect and studied the meaning of the "Six Classics".
"Jihong!"
"Brother!"
When the two met, they naturally had a heart-to-heart talk with each other.
From Xue Shu's mouth, Li Zhiyun learned the reason why he did not go to Taiyuan to jointly organize important events. Yao Junsu imprisoned his mother, forcing Xue Shu to stay. Fortunately, Li Zhiyun killed Yao Junsu, and Xue Shu could leave in Hedong.
relationship and save the mother.
Mr. Xue from Hedong, I'm kidding you.
If others don't know, Xue Rengui must know that he is the younger brother of the southern ancestor of the Xue family in Hedong.
"Where are Yuan Jing and De Yin?" Li Zhiyun asked.
Xue Shou, Xue Deyin, and Xue Yuanjing are known as the Three Phoenixes of Hedong. They will not make trouble with you or make fun of you.
Xue Shou smiled bitterly and said: "Yuan Jing is still in Hedong, and Deyin has gone to Luoyang."
"Oh." Li Zhiyun nodded. He was not angry when he heard that Xue Deyin went to work in another company. After all, everyone has his own ambitions and choices.
Li Zhiyun pulled him to sit down and said: "The reason why I asked my brother to come here is to deal with Hedong. Now that Aye has entered the pass, Pujin Qu Tutong has not been able to solve it. It is like a black spot on a white paper, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
, please help me, brother."
Xue Shou came here just for investment, so naturally he would not refuse, and said directly: "Qu Tutong is in a dilemma now. He has no generals and dare not leave anyone to guard Pujing Pass. Tang Gong entered Weibei, and Qu Tutong was very worried.
When my brother returns to Hedong, I will order people to spread rumors, which will surely shake the morale of the army and cause it to collapse without a fight."
"Besides, my brother also has connections on the other side of the city gate..."
It has to be said that the investment of Long shareholders behind Lao Li's rebellion was no different from cheating. Along the way south, there were basically no problems encountered, except for Qu Tutong.
After listening to Xue Shou's words, Li Zhiyun cupped his fists and said: "Brother's help, Zhiyun will always remember it in his heart."
"It is my duty to protect the elders in Hedong from the suffering of war and displacement."
As Xue Shou said, Qu Tutong was now in a dilemma. After Yao Junsu was captured, he no longer had any useful generals under his command. Originally, Sang Xianhe could barely do it, but he was also killed.
Qu Tutong had no doubt that if he left Pujin Pass with his front foot, Li Zhiyun would be able to defeat him with his back foot.
Therefore, he could only watch Li Yuan carrying two kitchen knives and collecting protection money everywhere in Weibei, but he could do nothing.
But as Li Jiancheng gave up attacking Hedong and turned around to attack Tongguan, he could no longer sit still.
If Tongguan is lost again and the gate inside the pass is lost, everything will be over.
However, before he could react, news came from Hedong that someone had offered the city to surrender!
