On the wall of Huozhou, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, Li Shentong and other senior officials of the Li clan stood prominently.
A few years ago, Li Clan suddenly raised an army and assembled 30,000 troops, hoping to take Huozhou unprepared.
But who would have thought that Song Laosheng seemed to have seen through Li Clan's ambition and had been prepared for it.
Not only did the opponent use their tactics to make Li Clan suffer heavy losses, they also lost the mighty flames from the beginning. Later, they even stationed themselves in Huozhou, and no matter what Li Clan did, they just refused to send troops out of the city to encircle and suppress them, which ultimately led to a confrontation.
Later, Wang Jian's identity was exposed, and it was discovered that "Yang Guang" had already obtained some information from Shan Wanjing.
Every time Li Shimin thinks about this, he laughs at himself.
Fortunately, he planned to use Dongming's account book to scare his father, and then rebel and seize the world. But who would have thought that he was already prepared but quietly took precautions, but he didn't worry yet.
In the past, Li Shimin was still a little angry, feeling that "Yang Guang" was looking down on him and the Li clan.
Looking back now, I realize that "Yang Guang" does have such talent.
Moreover, the current situation made him even more uncomfortable and his heart was in a knife's knot, but he had to follow the opponent's plan and kept asking the Turks to increase their troops to help the Li clan.
He could clearly see that Shen Luoyan and Li Jing were both rare military geniuses. They were not weak either. They also had Qin Qiong, Song Laosheng, Qu Tutong and other powerful generals under their command, as well as Shan Wanjing, Dugu
Feng and other experts are here.
Several times, the Sui army had the opportunity to wipe out their main force, at least Huozhou could not hold it back long ago.
However, the Sui army had always been unhurried and paid no attention to the good situation and Li Shimin's two special plans to lure the emperor into the urn.
At first, Li Shimin thought the other party had seen his plan.
Only later did I realize that they were using Li Clan as bait to catch Turks.
Li Shimin had just guessed this result and couldn't believe it, and was even extremely angry.
But in the end, I endured it and didn't even explain it to anyone.
Sui Ting had such confidence. He had also sent people to investigate the situation in the south and knew it very clearly.
With the stability and development of the south, it has become the Sui Ting's greatest heritage, and they can persist in the tug-of-war for many years.
But Li Clan couldn't do it. The population in the territory was already very scarce, and the military strength was seriously insufficient after many battles.
If it weren't for the Turkic cavalry, we wouldn't be able to hold on to this point.
Nowadays, the situation of the Li clan is getting more and more corrupt, and Li Shimin has long been exhausted mentally and physically.
He looked at the troops gathered outside the city and the rows of trebuchets behind the military formation, and felt bitter in his heart.
He glanced back at the north and murmured: "This is the only thing I can do for the Central Plains. I hope you can seize the opportunity, otherwise I will not be willing to die."
Since you have chosen to fight for world hegemony, you will eventually fail and die without any body parts. This is the psychological preparation that every rebel should have.
Li Shimin had amazing courage and courage, and he also had a big heart that few others had. Although the emperor later sat for a long time, even Wei Zheng's tombstone was pushed down, and the marriage contract between the princess and the eldest son of the other party changed.
But those who can dominate the world must be broad-minded. Otherwise, why would anyone be willing to help? At least it can be guaranteed before becoming an emperor.
The king chooses his ministers and his ministers choose the king, and both sides have autonomy.
After learning about Wang Jian's plan, Li Shimin betrayed the Turks without hesitation.
In any case, he is from the Central Plains, so why not do it if he can take advantage of the Turks before he dies?
The cooperation between the Turks and the Li clan has always occupied a dominant position. Although the Li clan is not timid, it is also embarrassed by the other party's aggressiveness.
What's more, if he clarified this point, would the Turks still fall into the trap?
This is not good for the Li clan, nor is it good for the Central Plains.
So what if the Turks leave this war quagmire? Could they still pose a threat to "Yang Guang"?
There are so many reasons, so naturally I am happy to cooperate.
But now it seems that the Sui army no longer intends to waste any more.
"King Qin, the Sui army is strong and we won't do any more temptations. We won't be able to stand it for long."
"They besieged the city?"
"Three around and one missing."
"Ah!"
Li Shimin sighed and shook his head.
He believed that there would not be much of an ambush at the empty North City Gate, and at most it would just be interesting.
Even if the Sui army makes a big move, they will not kill them all. They still need to give the Li clan and the Turks more hope.
In this way, we can continue to be anxious. It is best to have more Turkic troops to help, so that we can kill more Turkic troops and prepare for the attack on the grassland.
Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. After being a chess piece for several years, he seemed to be doing well, at least he was still alive.
"Let's go. If you don't leave, it will be too late."
Li Shimin laughed so hard that tears came out.
Li Shentong, Changsun Wuji and others followed and got off the tower together.
At the same time, Shen Luoyan screamed outside the city, and hundreds of trebuchets opened fire.
The crackling sound in the sky made the few remaining residents and soldiers in Huozhou panic and panic, and they fled in all directions.
Boom boom boom!
Huge boulders fell on the city of Huozhou, causing houses to collapse and debris flying everywhere, causing countless screams.
When confusion is lifted, everything becomes simple.
The trebuchet, an ancient siege weapon, is of course the first choice. Even without confusion, Wang Jian could have developed it himself. It is nothing more than the most basic use of force.
The Turks have entered the quagmire of war, so they deliberately did not deal with the Li clan, and their own losses will naturally be huge.
Everything else doesn't matter, but population is a precious resource no matter what dynasty you are in.
Especially qualified soldiers are cherished extremely.
Wang Jian was naturally unwilling to waste his own soldiers in the confrontation, so most of them would modify their equipment to reduce the losses of soldiers.
The confrontation has lasted for more than three years now, with small-scale conflicts occurring every day and soldiers being lost every day.
But the number of people is not large, just over 10,000, thanks to the large number of popular anti-inflammatory drugs and surgical techniques.
When Shen Luoyan had nothing to do, he was either managing the military affairs of Chang'an or training doctors, which was not considered leisurely.
Of course, Wang Jian also had to rush over to satisfy them.
For so many years, if you have been in a state of emptiness, loneliness and coldness, sooner or later you will go crazy.
What's more, not only Shen Luoyan, but Dugu Feng and Shan Wanjing are all in Chang'an.
So Wang Jian had no choice but to run over by himself. Fortunately, his strength was partially unlocked, so it didn't take much time to get there.
Occasionally they would stay in Chang'an for a few days, and the three girls would also rush back to Jiangdu during their free time. This was truly a journey of thousands of miles to Jiangling in one day.
Hundreds of trebuchets went into action, and there was no obstacle to Huozhou City. After a few rounds, the Sui army blasted away.
At the same time, Xu Xingzhi, Zhang Xutuo and Luo Shixin were outside Jinyong City. The trebuchets were firing and the remnants of the Wagangzhai army were wailing to the sky.
