789 Fight or Retreat

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Xiao Han never thought that one day he would become a psychiatrist...

Moreover, he seems to be doing quite well in this profession.

Watching Yu Chigong chatting and laughing with Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan and others.

Li Shimin looked at Xiao Han suspiciously several times, but he avoided him calmly. He didn't want to be regarded by Xiao Han as a quarrelsome guy.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin's injuries healed very quickly, and within a few days, most of them were healed.

This made Xiao Han, who would be in pain for three to five days even if he scratched his skin, was particularly envious. In private, he looked at Li Shimin as if he saw Xiao Qiang.

Time passes slowly.

The hot summer is about to end, but the coming autumn in Guanzhong makes people even more uncomfortable!

It has obviously cooled down in the morning and evening, but at noon, the whole earth feels like being trapped in a steamer, so stuffy that people can't even breathe!

The cicadas on the big tree outside are now chirping day and night, as if they also know that their time is running out, and want to take advantage of these last moments to leave more traces of their existence.

In the extremely gorgeous Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Wang Shichong felt like he was just like these annoying cicadas, and his remaining life was numbered!

The letter sent to Dou Jiande fell into disfavor.

They secretly collected them and the grain ship intended to be transported to Luoyang was also robbed by Wang Junkuo.

His last base areas, Xuzhou and Bozhou north of Xiangyang, also surrendered to the Tang people.

Today's Luoyang is just a lonely castle, surrounded by the Tang people.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Just when Wang Shichong was upset, a eunuch ran in quickly outside the hall.

He carefully walked around the iceberg piled in the center of the hall and prostrated himself in front of Wang Shichong, his thin body trembling!

Wang Shichong opened his bloodshot eyes, stared at him closely and asked, "What happened!"

"Return to Your Majesty..."

The eunuch pressed his head tightly against the ground and said with a trembling voice: "Just now, Qu Yang, the Minister of War, tried to escape with Xinruan and was caught by the imperial guards in the outer city. Please tell me how to deal with it."

After saying this, the eunuch lay on the ground as if resigned to his fate. In the past few days, His Majesty has killed several eunuchs for this reason. He felt that he might be the next unlucky guy.

"Qu Yang? Humph, is he going to abandon me and run away too?"

The rage that the eunuch imagined did not appear, but he became more and more frightened. He lay on the ground, not daring to take a breath!

Because he knew very well that the more the emperor behaved like this, the more horrified the anger in his heart would be!

Sure enough, just after saying this, Wang Shi, who had been extremely calm just now, stood up!

He casually picked up the jade pen holder on the case and used it to the eunuch's side.

The fine jade pen holder was immediately smashed to pieces, and the tribute pens were scattered everywhere!

"Kill! The Yi Tribe!" He squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and Wang Shichong's distorted face looked like an evil ghost!

"twitter!"

The eunuch was so frightened by Wang Shichong that he almost peed. Regardless of the jade fragments all over his body, he stood up in a hurry and walked backwards quickly out of the hall.

After the eunuch left, for a while, the only sound left in the empty hall was Wang Shichong's heavy breathing. It seemed that even the tall iceberg could not suppress the anger in his heart!

"Haha... Hahaha... Do you all think that I will lose? You all want to join the new master?!

Well, then I won’t be polite to you! From now on, I will implement the continuous sitting system!

If one person escapes, ten of them will sit together! If ten people escape, one of them will sit together! Let’s see who is faster, you or my sword!”

Wang Shichong's hysterical screams finally came out from the main hall.

When the guard with a knife on duty outside heard this, he couldn't help but shudder. The two looked at each other and saw that the other's eyes were full of fear!

If we say that Wang Shichong of Luoyang City is a trapped beast surrounded in the middle.

So Li Shimin, a hunter, is actually not easy to be a hunter.

The city of Luoyang is so strong that it makes people despair!

After sweeping away the surrounding area, Li Shimin led an army of 100,000 troops and stationed outside Luoyang City.

In these days, after several strong attacks, Tang Fang's troops suffered a lot of losses, but Luoyang City remained the same, and there was no possibility of it falling.

"It's been taking too long!"

Ten miles outside Luoyang City, inside the Chinese army's tent.

Li Shimin looked at the towering city like a mountain from a distance, feeling deeply frustrated in his heart!

He originally thought that Luoyang City would quickly decline after it ran out of food.

But I didn't expect that after so many days, Luoyang City would still be the hardest bone to crack.

It makes everyone salivate, but they are powerless.

The sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and a messenger with a red feather on his head quickly delivered a letter.

Li Shimin just glanced at the cover of the letter and knew that this was Li Yuan once again calling his teacher to return to the court.

Sighing deeply, he also knew how difficult it was for Chang'an now.

Now, he has used almost half of the entire Tang Dynasty to besiege Luoyang!

As a result, the troops in Guanzhong were depleted. The Turks in the west had already seen the opportunity and pressed forward with their armies several times!

During this period, it was only thanks to Princess Pingyang's hard resistance and the heavy gifts and bribes from Tang Jian and others that the Turks were prevented from entering the pass.

At the same time, Li Shimin also knew that Dou Jiande of Hebei Province had recently been stepping up efforts to train soldiers and manufacture weapons.

It is very possible to tear up the treaty and start a war with Datang.

Summoning all the generals, Li Shimin passed on the letter from Chang'an to them expressionlessly: "What is happening now, shall we fight or retreat!"

In the big tent, Qu Tutong was the oldest. He was the first to receive the letter, read it hastily, and then passed the letter to the next person. He closed his eyes as if thinking about something.

The content of this letter is not much.

So during the tea time, everyone looked at it again, but in the face of Li Shimin's questioning eyes, no one said a word.

However, at this time, not saying anything can already explain the problem!

These people in front of me also want to retreat now! It’s just because of human feelings, no one is willing to be the first person!

"How does Duke Jiang come to see it?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shimin frowned and focused on Qu Tutong.

Qu Tutong's eyelids trembled slightly. He opened his eyes, looked at Li Shimin, then looked at the generals around him, and finally sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, King Qin, do you think how long will it take for us to capture Luoyang?"

Li Shimin was silent for a moment and replied: "Based on the current situation, it will take at least a year!"

Qu Tutong nodded, as if to agree, and then asked: "Then during the year we have been restrained, can Guanzhong withstand the Turkic cavalry? Or, if Dou Jiande invades in large numbers, we will be attacked from both sides, and there is a possibility of victory.
