It is an indisputable fact that the situation of the Tang army has gradually turned dangerous.
Since they could do nothing against Yu Chikai and Zhao Shixun under Feng Yi's city, what could they do against the Jin army on the beach? This is an obvious, yet embarrassing and helpless question.
The advantages of the Tang Army have long been lost in these years of collisions and entanglements...
The night was as cold as water, and the hearts of Qin King Li Shimin and his cronies gradually became colder. The discussion lasted for a long time, but there was no good way to deal with it.
As the Jin army crossed the river, the Tang army had actually lost the space to move around. If it could not block the enemy by the river, it would fall into a situation of failure both strategically and tactically, because Chang'an is there...
This is similar to when Qu Tutong led his army to fight Li Yuan. Qu Tutong had heavy troops stationed by the river and at Tongguan. However, as soon as Feng Yi broke through, they immediately collapsed, not because of anything else, but because this was the last line of defense in Chang'an.
Line of defense.
The longer the deliberations go on, the more arguments there will be.
The grumpy suggestion is that it is better to lead the army directly to the beach and have a battle with the thieves. No matter whether you win or lose, you will be happy. This is obviously not a good idea.
For example, people led by Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County, tactfully suggested returning to defend Chang'an. This was also a bad idea. There had been wars in the late Han Dynasty for so long, and no one had ever heard of anyone who led his troops to Chang'an City but could not enter Chang'an City.
Once Chang'an City faces a direct threat, no matter how high the wall is, it can't stop the people in the city, and no matter how deep the pool is, it can't hide the despicability of human nature. There are too many nobles living there, and no one can make them live and die together.
As long as someone is strong enough, they don't mind who is their master.
Furthermore, Li Shimin would never hand himself over to his father again, and his father would certainly not let his son lead an army of more than 100,000 people into Chang'an.
Some people suggested that if we fight again tomorrow, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army under the city...
This is to follow the original plan and attack the enemy halfway. Was it successful before? Now it has become obviously unreliable.
When the moon was at the top of the sky, Li Shimin let all the generals disperse to rest, leaving only Fang Xuanling, Liu Shirang, Chu Zheng, and Yu Zhining.
Li Shimin coughed a few times first. His face looked very bad, mostly due to fatigue. Of course, he was not happy either. Then he said quietly: "Everyone is talking about it, but there are not many clues. I trust you all."
How can people think about this king? Can you give me some good advice now?"
It was Fang Xuanling who spoke first? "Feng Yi can't defend anymore, so why don't we go west, join up with Qu Tutong, take control of Shu, and make another move."
Concise and to the point? But like a boulder falling into water, it splashes a mess.
Everyone else looked shocked. What they originally wanted to say was swallowed back in their stomachs, their eyes wandering around Qin Wang Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling.
Are they all outstanding among men? They can understand the meaning of what Fang Xuanling said just by thinking about it.
We don’t want Chang’an anymore, why not follow Xuande’s story? Lead the army to Sichuan and become the king of Sichuan? See if there is a chance? Then attack the Central Plains?
No one would question Feng Yi's words that he could no longer defend himself. The battle during the day had already shown one thing. The Tang army's numerical advantage was no longer sustainable, so Feng Yi became a dangerous place.
Just simply go west to Shuzhong. The span is still a bit too long. You can cut off the tail to survive, but the tail is too big. Chang'an doesn't want it, I don't want it, and my family members don't want it either. This is very difficult.
Accept it.
In fact, Fang Xuanling didn't tell anyone else, the only one who heard it was King Qin Li Shimin.
Li Shimin closed his eyes and meditated, as calm as a mountain. As usual, everyone's hearts gradually calmed down.
I don't know how much time passed, but Li Shimin opened his eyes and smiled, "What Xuan Ling said is in my opinion, but all the wives, children, and families are in Chang'an, alas..."
With a long sigh, Li Shimin's expression gradually turned gloomy. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he just waved his hand and said, "I am ordering you to break camp tonight and return home first. Those who care about their wives, children and children can leave on their own. The rest will follow my king westward to Qinzhou."
Without much hesitation, he accepted Fang Xuanling's suggestion. He had already thought about it before, but it was just a temporary decision made through Fang Xuanling's mouth. Only he knew this.
The Tang army broke camp and left Feng Yi overnight. Such a big movement would definitely not be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Jin army. However, it would be an impossible task for the Jin army to stop such a large army at night.
Li Shimin decisively abandoned Feng Yi, which was really timely. If it had been later, they might not have been able to leave.
In the early morning, Chen Yuan, the general of the Zuotun Guard, personally led troops to assist Wei Chikai and Zhao Shixun, plus the cavalry across the river, which was enough to delay the Tang army for more than two days.
To the north of Feng Yi, Zhang Shigui had captured Chengcheng and was peeking at Pucheng. To the south, Yuchixin had received thousands of reinforcements, and he easily captured Zheng County, moved up the Wei River, and advanced towards Weinan.
As Zhang Lun expected, the Tang army gathered more than 100,000 troops, and the counties and counties were empty. With a light force, they could quickly surround the Tang army. As long as it was delayed for a few days, the Tang army would be trapped in a spider's web and unable to move even an inch.
.
Again, all strategies and tactics must be based on one thing, that is, the soldiers are strong and dare to fight. Without this, no matter how wonderful the strategies and tactics are, they are just castles in the air and unrealistic.
In fact, the elite level of the Jin army not only made the Tang army unbelievable. Even Li Po on the other side was shocked when he learned that after the battle, the Tang army had decisively abandoned Feng Yi and retreated for ten thousand years.
.
After many years of savings, it was a success. Well, it was still a little short of success, but it really got off to a good start. Li Po was so surprised that he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. If it were so easy, what the hell did I do in the first two years?
What are you busy with? You can just rush across the river, so why waste so much time?
Should he retreat in the face of difficulties, or lure the enemy deeper? Li Po was also very unsure.
………………………………
The Tang army withdrew its troops in a very clean and thorough manner. It did not look like it was retreating in spite of difficulties, nor did it look like it was tempting the enemy to penetrate deeper.
No one was left to cut off the rear, nor was there a fire or anything. They just evacuated Feng Yi's granary. For the Jin army, the situation immediately improved. Chen Yuan, Yu Chikai, and Zhao Shixun led the troops to garrison.
Feng Yi.
The army actually had a foothold by the river, and the riverside defense line composed of Hancheng, Feng Yi, and Tongguan immediately collapsed and no longer existed.
Li Jiancheng's roar from the direction of Tongguan could be heard vaguely, and Hou Junji's troops in Hancheng were also in an awkward situation. However, there were mostly mountains around Hancheng, so no one paid attention to him.
But once the Tang army withdrew and headed west, it would mean that all the defenders of Tongguan and Hancheng were thrown to the enemy...
Two days later, the Sun, Moon and Stars flag with a large Chinese character written on it swaggered across the river, only stopping briefly at the beachhead, and then went to Feng Yi.
Many of the civil and military officers who crossed the river with him were no strangers to Qin, but they were still as excited as the others and could not control themselves.
Eight hundred miles across Qinchuan, every inch of land seems to be filled with the aura of royalty. Compared with Chang'an, Jinyang is more like a relative from the countryside. Even if he is living a good life, he always feels a bit rustic.
Fishy smell.
The Tang army had already gone far, and they did not stop at Ten Thousand Years. They only caused a little trouble when they gathered the reinforcements of General Zuo Xiaowei Dou Gui on the way, and they lost a little blood, but nothing more.
.
What's even more ridiculous is that many people believed Li Shimin's words and wanted to leave, and the leader among them was naturally Li Shenfu, the king of Xiangyi County.
But they obviously made a wrong calculation. On weekdays, His Highness the King of Qin is eager for talents, and his image of benevolence and righteousness in treating his subordinates well and obeying the old tradition is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But at this time of year, you still expect the free travel promised by His Highness the King of Qin. It is really
There is something missing in my mind.
Of course, His Highness the King of Qin did not need to do it himself. Chu Liang stood up and chopped off Li Shenfu's head with one knife. At the same time, he cleaned those who complained and wanted to escape, and sent them to the flagpole to see the scenery.
.
Afterwards, His Highness the King of Qin finally learned the news, angrily reprimanded Chu Liang and others for their atrocities, and cried loudly in front of everyone. Then all the noise in the army disappeared, and the voice of people who were willing to follow the King of Qin to the ends of the world dominated the mainstream.
The king's hypocrisy and callousness were clearly demonstrated in this farce, but at this time, it seems that only the blood of the Li family can shock people's hearts. Li Shenfu's death was not unjust at all.
Let alone an uncle, even if Li Yuan stood in front of Li Shimin at this time, he would still be stabbed by this knife.
When King Qin Li Shimin left, he took away not only the grain and grass along the way, but also the hope of Li Tang's comeback.
When Han King Li Po entered Feng Yi, Yuchixin had already led his army to Weinan, and most of the officials in Shaanxi Province fled back to Chang'an.
After Zhang Shigui faced off with Hou Junji in Hancheng for several days, Hou Junji surrendered to the city.
It is no joke that the army was defeated like a mountain. As the hoofbeats of the Jin cavalry sounded, Jingzhao County and Feng Yi County quickly changed hands.
When the size of the cavalry was sufficient, Li Po's first military order to them was not to let them occupy the counties, but to order the cavalry units to immediately pursue the Tang army heading west.
At this time, Li Po no longer had any doubts. After winning the first battle, Chang'an was placed there like a big pie, waiting for him to taste it.
Li Po could naturally guess where Li Shimin was heading west with his troops, but he couldn't let him succeed, otherwise how much energy would it take to get rid of this son of the plane?
Fortunately, the son of another dimension was blocked by him in Chang'an. When all the escape routes from Chang'an were blocked, Li Po breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yuan had more backbone than his son and did not run away.
Thinking of what Li Yuan did in Jinyang many years ago, Li Po secretly said to himself, it's really a good reincarnation... I don't know what happened to my father-in-law, but don't let Li Yuan catch him, that scene is really terrible
It’s a bit ugly…
Of course, having said that, even so, in such a season, let alone Li Po, even if Li Bi is here, the result will not change in any way.
The general trend of the world is ahead, but a mere head, what does it mean?
