In June of the thirteenth year of Daye, Qu Tutong was defeated and went to Tongguan.
This is not a strategic or tactical failure, but a collapse of the general political trend. There is no backup, there is a shortage of food and grass, county officials have defected to the enemy one after another, it is impossible to determine who the enemy is, and the strategic environment continues to deteriorate...
In all these circumstances, no matter how effective Ren Qu Tutong led the army, and no matter how good his soldiers were in fighting, after a few small victories, they were defeated one after another. General Sang Xianhe burned Pujin Bridge in anger, leaving Li Yuan's army with nothing but
Being able to go beyond Liangshan also cuts off the way back home.
Qu Tutong's troops in Hedong could only retreat to the direction of Tongguan one after another. At this time, brothers Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng had already circled to Tongguan and cut off the connection between Qu Tutong's troops and the Chang'an garrison.
For Qu Tutong, the war situation in Hedong was simply a disaster.
Li Yuan's army fought more and more, and the generals under his command were highly motivated and became more courageous as they fought.
Liu Wenjing even led his army to attack Tongguan from west to east. The key passes of Tongguan, which were defensive from the outside but not from the inside, fell one after another. Liu Wenjing led his army to the west of Tongguan and locked horns with Qu Tutong.
The reason why Qu Tutong's troops were able to maintain their strength for a while was not because Liu Wenjing had nothing to do with him, but because the offensive and defensive battle in Chang'an had finally begun, and Liu Wenjing's troops were heavily mobilized, so they just slowed down their offensive.
Li Yuan led the Jin army to occupy Yongfengcang and solved the problem of food and grass. When they marched to the city of Chang'an, Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong joined the army led by Li Xiuning and almost occupied the old city of Chang'an.
It's quite funny to say that Li Shentong and Li Xiuning both started their armies in Hu County, but they were separated by a hill.
They each pulled up their teams and turned the Guanzhong upside down. Even if Li Yuan's army didn't come, judging from their appearance, they could still lead the army to attack Chang'an City.
Li Yuan's several armies met on Longshou Plain, and the military strength was greatly strengthened. Officials from all over Chang'an County looked at the scenery, and the disciples of the big nobles who ran out of Chang'an City came to Li Yuan one after another to pledge their allegiance.
Li Yuan and his son were very ambitious. In their opinion, capturing the city of Chang'an should be effortless.
Unfortunately, they thought wrong. Some people in Chang'an City had already decided to break up with the city.
General Wei Xuan, the governor of Guanzhong who was in charge of Chang'an, was indeed powerless. He had a premonition that the situation was over, and his condition gradually became serious and he was unable to take charge.
The general, Yin Shishi, is young and powerful, and is a bit more stubborn than Wei Xuan.
After taking over the military power of the Chang'an garrison, the first thing he did was to unite with Chang'an County Cheng Guyi and others to imitate what Wei Xuan did when he sent troops to quell Yang Xuangan's rebellion. He forced the generals of the Chang'an garrison to dig up the Li family with their own hands.
ancestral graves.
Li Yuan's army of more than 300,000 people swarmed in. It took only half a month to attack the Xiongcheng of Chang'an. Apart from the increasing casualties of the army, there was nothing that could be done against the Chang'an defenders.
It was not until mid-July that the weather became colder and without the strong support of the big bosses in the city, the Chang'an garrison gradually became exhausted. Li Yuan's army invaded the outer city in one fell swoop.
The price paid was also extremely heavy.
Sun Hua, the great enemy of Guanzhong who was named Grand Administrator of Feng Yi, Doctor of Guanglu, and Duke of Wuxiang County by Li Yuan, was killed in a fierce battle. This was the highest-ranking military general killed in Li Yuan's army.
Unfortunately, this man did not have any family background, and after his death in battle, his name was rarely mentioned in history books.
If this man had lived longer, his reputation would not be as good as that of generals like Yuchi Gong and Qin Qiong, but even better. You must know that although this man had surrendered to Li Yuan for only a short time, he could not help Li Yuan lead his army into the pass.
made a great contribution.
In the battle with Qu Tutong, he was not even half weaker than Liu Wenjing and others.
The outer city was captured, and Li Yuan sent his troops to attack the inner city.
It was not until the end of July that Li Yuan got his wish and occupied the entire Xijing Chang'an, proclaimed the acting king Yang You as emperor, and changed his name to Yining.
Li Yuan proclaimed himself the Tang Dynasty King and Prime Minister, taking charge of the affairs of the state and becoming Cao Cao's second in command of the emperor.
Even so, Li Yuan entered Chang'an several months earlier than in another time and space, which gave him a lot of time to prepare for attacks from internal and external enemies.
Rewards based on merit are necessary, and the heroes who followed him to Xijing received generous rewards one after another.
Not even Li Po, who was far away in Youzhou, was left behind.
Whether it was to appease people's hearts, because of Li Jing's efforts to help, or to allow this person to continue to resist the Turks, anyway, Li Po was promoted to the Right Sima of the Prime Minister's Palace and temporarily took over the post of Daizhou Marching Manager.
, under the control of Li Yuan's fourth son and Li Yuanji, the governor of Bingzhou.
Everyone was rewarded, but only one person was left behind by Li Yuan, and that was his beloved daughter Li Xiuning.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Xiuning's achievements are at the forefront of all the generals. Not only did she single-handedly save the families of Li Yuan and his son, she also restrained the Chang'an garrison and cut off the road. Otherwise, Qu Tutong would never have been defeated so quickly.
Chang'an City will also be more difficult to defeat, and Guanzhong counties will not be pacified so quickly.
The time she saved for Li Yuan was very precious.
But Li Xiuning was not included in the list of merits. Of course, this was not because Li Yuan deliberately favored one over the other. There were many reasons.
The first one is that she is a woman. It is not uncommon for women to join the army these days, but those who may have made great achievements are rare. Moreover, they have made such military achievements. Li Yuan both likes and has a headache for this beloved daughter. In order not to upset the generals,
If you feel dissatisfied with being under a woman, you will simply not be rewarded.
Secondly, some people are actually dissatisfied in the first place.
Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong was extremely dissatisfied with Li Xiuning. They raised an army together. According to their seniority, Li Xiuning should be under his control. But in fact, Li Xiuning had Li Jing to help him and 500 Jin soldiers accompanying him. His family wealth was better than that of Li Shentong.
Much thicker.
After fighting all the way, Guanzhong only heard the name of the Detachment of Women, but did not know who Li Shentong was. This made Li Shentong feel very embarrassed.
Moreover, Li Shentong was not a broad-minded person. When Wei Xuan came to visit the Li family in Chang'an, Li Xiuning led his men to escape, but he hid in the middle east of Chang'an for a long time before he saw the opportunity and left Chang'an city.
This made him quite resentful towards Li Xiuning.
Anyway, this man has been dissatisfied with Li Xiuning for a long time. Relying on his status as an elder, when discussing merits, he will take as much credit as possible for conquering old Chang'an and subduing the rebel armies.
Although his behavior was quite shameful, no one said anything. Apart from the internal strife of the Li family, others had no chance to comment. Since the late Jin Dynasty, a bad habit developed by military generals has also affected people's thinking.
It is the most common behavior for military generals to boast of their merits. The act of taking credit is so common that it has been regarded as a normal thing.
Therefore, since the war in the late Jin Dynasty, in the past few hundred years, too many meritorious ministers have been killed. This is not just a phenomenon caused by the emperors' fear of the excessive power of meritorious ministers. A large part of the reason is actually
The general himself.
For example, Shi Wansui dared to roar on top of the Golden Palace and accused Yang Su of taking away his military honors. He Ruobi also dared to tell the emperor clearly that he had forgotten his past achievements while drinking with him.
Yes, this is a trend. It can also be said to be a clear proof of Hu Feng's growing popularity. Generals and heroes are not very good at hiding their strengths and protecting themselves. They fight for those who can fight. If they can't fight, they will stalk and make trouble like shrews.
The constant fussing made my head fall off.
And the heroes under Li Yuan, headed by Li Shentong, Liu Wenjing, and Pei Ji, actually all have such a moral character.
When Li Shentong made a fuss, Li Yuan followed suit and succeeded in helping his cousin, who was a brother of Dahu. At this time, Li Yuan relied heavily on the people in the Li family, and he didn't want to hurt his heart.
Thirdly, brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin did not play any good role.
Li Jiancheng has always been friendly with his sister. Li Xiuning has tens of thousands of troops under his command, and the generals in the army also respect Li Xiuning very much. It is understandable that in order to win over his sister to become his assistant, Li Jiancheng committed suicide in front of Li Yuan.
It is to vigorously promote its achievements.
At this time, the dispute between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng had not yet emerged, but Li Shimin had always been unfriendly with several of his brothers and sisters.
He was young and energetic, with the mentality that if you say something right, I will say something wrong, he got into trouble with his elder brother. He didn't say anything in front of Li Yuan's door, but communicated with Li Xiuning's generals in private, and it didn't take long for him to
The bandit leaders, big and small, followed him obediently.
This is like taking the fire out of the cauldron.
The men of the Li family were having a lot of fun, almost losing all the credit for a daughter's family, but Li Xiuning didn't care about these things.
She was also worried, but she was very different from the men who were fighting for power. Li Jing's fate had fundamentally changed. Li Yuan did not bother to kill him, but gave him a generous reward. However, Li Jing's grudge remained.
The place I wanted to serve was far away from Li Yuan, so I asked to be under Li Xiuning's family.
Li Wu also wanted to lead his troops back to Mayi. There were new nobles in Chang'an City one after another. Because they followed Li Xiuning, the rewards they received were not satisfactory.
Moreover, the soldiers under his command felt homesick after being out for more than half a year.
Therefore, Li Wu did not want to stay in Chang'an any longer and wanted to lead his army back to Mayi to bid farewell to Li Xiuning.
Well, everyone in Chang'an is vying for rewards, but there are some people who would rather leave the frontier than stay in Chang'an.
This can only be said that Mayi is indeed a very unique place and has also produced a group of very unique characters.
In fact, it has almost become a foregone conclusion that the army led by Li Xiuning will fall apart. These days, there may be female doctors, female brigade marshals, and female school lieutenants, but the hope of a female general is extremely slim.
Li Xiuning thought about it and simply agreed to Li Jing, but asked Li Wuduo to wait for some time before talking. I am afraid that even she herself did not quite understand the selfishness revealed by the different treatment.
So, Li Jing immediately left the west of Beijing and went to Shuzhong, where he began his journey to become a famous general.
Li Wu was still waiting in Chang'an stupidly, and by the way became the guard commander and Sima of Li Xiuning's mansion.
Yes, even though the reward was not much, Li Yuan still let Li Xiuning open the mansion. Chai Shao quickly withered a lot. He walked around, but when he came back, he was not as high as his wife. He was arrogant and arrogant.
Very dissatisfied.
From then on, Chai Shao no longer visited his wife's house, and the two began a long separation life.
