Chapter 628
When Li Daozong received the order to help Li Yuanji urgently, he was just raided by Luo Cheng at night. The army suffered a considerable loss. The barracks were raging everywhere, and the morale of the army suffered a considerable setback. Li Daozong saw Li Yuan's emergency order,
He was so happy that he gave up attacking Yanmen and passed the pass. He immediately ordered 80,000 troops to retreat to Taiyuan with wounded soldiers. He himself led a 100,000 army to the west, preparing to cross the Yellow River and then rushing through the Hetao area to help Li Yuanji in the encirclement.
Just as Li Daozong led his army to assist Li Yuanji, Li Shimin, who was on the south bank of Sanggan River, also received an emergency military order sent by Li Yuan with a letter from Fei Ge, and immediately gave up attacking Zhuo County, leading the main force to assist and was surrounded near Hang Aishan.
Li Yuanji.
When Li Shimin received this order, he couldn't help but frown and paced back and forth in the big tent. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but curse: "Li Yuanji is really asking for trouble for us!"
Hou Junji frowned and said, "Li Yuanji defeated the besieged! It seems that there are actually not many enemy troops in Zhuo County facing us!" Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Shimin, what do you want to do?
"Everyone's eyes gathered on Li Shimin.
Li Shimin stopped and said to Changsun Wuji in an inquiring tone: "You and I have seen each other in the Liao army, like wolves and tigers, and are extremely fierce! Since their main force ambushed Yuanji, Yuanji can retreat to another one.
On the hill, and this time it was not annihilated by the Liao army!..." Changsun Wuji felt aroused and asked quickly: "Does Shimin think that the other party deliberately did not annihilate the remaining troops of the King of Qi?..." Li Shimin frowned and said: "
There is a strategy of besieging the city and fighting aid in the military strategy! I think the King of Liao has implemented this strategy after a slight change! If Yuan Ji is not annihilated for the time being, it will be easier to lure the nearby Li Daozong to help, but will eliminate Li Daozong in one fell swoop and then annihilate Li Yuanji!…
"When everyone heard this, their faces changed. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but shout, "Be good! This Liao King is really amazing!"
Wang Junguo hurriedly said, "I have to wait and tell Your Majesty and the Crown Prince about this matter, so that they will not be trapped in the enemy's tricks!"
Li Shimin nodded, immediately returned to the back of the desk, brought two pieces of letter paper, picked up the pen and wrote two letters with similar content. Then he picked up the letter and walked into the hall, shouting, "Come!" He guarded the door
The personal soldiers officer rushed in immediately and asked with his fists, "What are the instructions of the King of Qin?" Li Shimin handed over the two letter papers to the officer and ordered: "Send this letter to Your Majesty on the left, and send this letter to the Prince on the right
Your Highness, go and do it immediately." The officer took the two pieces of letter paper, shouted and ran away.
Hou Junji clasped his fists and asked, "King Qin, are you going to prepare for withdrawal?" Cheng Yaojin said in anger: "Why do we have to care about Li Yuanji's life and death? If we don't stay in Hetao honestly, we will insist on making a greedy contribution and make a breakthrough.
He was seeking death by fighting with the King of Qin!" Wang Bodang said angrily: "Yaojin, why are you trying to be so arrogant again? King Qi was surrounded, how can we sit and watch? Besides, there is also the imperial decree of Your Majesty
If we do not implement this, wouldn’t we disobey the imperial edict?” Cheng Yaojin couldn’t help but say in annoyance: “Imperial edict! Imperial edict! If the King of Qin became the emperor, he would not have such a lot of messy constraints!”
Everyone present was shocked, and Li Shimin shouted angrily: "Brother Cheng, don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Yaojin curled his lips, looking disapproving, but he did not continue to talk nonsense.
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Does Shimin have other ideas?"
Li Shimin smiled at Changsun Wuji and said, "Those who know me are Wuji!" Then he thought, "From us to the near Hangaishan, the journey is very long and you won't be able to arrive for half a month.
When the army arrived, the war there must have been a long time ago!...... In the worst case, the Liao army marched straight into the Wei River, but there were more than 100,000 troops in Chang'an, and the Chang'an city was as solid as a god. Although the Liao army was strong,
I expected that it would be difficult for them to pull out Chang'an within a few months. Why not take advantage of Zhang Lang's main force in the west and our army attacked the east with all its might, and it could sweep the entire Liao area, so that it would turn disadvantages into favorable and passive into active
! ... "
The generals' eyes lit up, and Cheng Yaojin shouted excitedly: "Okay! The Qin King's method is good! The main force of the Liao army is not here, so we will take the opportunity to enter his lair! The Liao King also knows that we are not vegetarians either!"
The generals also applauded, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Wang Bodang said worriedly: "But, isn't this disobeying the imperial edict?..." Cheng Yaojin was immediately angry and shouted: "Bodang, you are not good at this! You are too lawful!...
... "
Li Shimin waved his hand to Cheng Yaojin and told Cheng Yaojin not to be excited. Then he said to Wang Bodang: "I have considered what Bodang said. But as the saying goes, I will not accept the orders of the king outside! Our army will do this.
When the situation changes drastically, you should have your own decision!" Wang Bodang felt that what Li Shimin said made sense and nodded. Seeing that the generals had no objection, Li Shimin shouted: "Everyone will return to their respective troops immediately
, Tomorrow morning, attack Zhuo County!" The generals agreed in unison.
Li Yuanji was surrounded by Gushan. He was originally very frightened and was only worried that the Liao army would attack the mountain. However, a day passed and two days passed, but the Liao army only surrounded the hills and had no intention of attacking. This made Li
Yuanji's originally panic gradually calmed down. He prayed to the gods and Buddhas in his heart every day, praying that the Liao army would continue like this so that he could survive until reinforcements arrived.
At noon that day, just as Li Yuanji was having a meal in the big tent, Yuanyang ran in with joy and presented a note to Li Yuanji, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty sent a letter from Fei Ge, saying
General Li Daozong is leading a 100,000 army to rescue!..." Li Yuanji looked very surprised, and quickly opened the note and read it. He couldn't help but shouted happily: "Okay! That's great! I didn't expect that the critical moment
It’s up to him, Li Daozong!" He paused, but frowned and asked with some concern: "I don’t know when Li Daozong will arrive? Don’t he have to be on the road!"
Yuanyang said: "With Your Majesty's strict order, how dare Li Daozong be negligent? According to the time His Majesty said, Li Daozong must have crossed the Yellow River and headed north at this moment. I think Li Daozong will arrive in three days or at most five days!" Li Yuanji nodded.
, frowned and murmured: "I just hope Zhang Lang won't attack these days!"
Perhaps it was God's wish, but Li Yuanji's prayer came true. The Liao army still remained silent for the next two days. At noon that day, Li Yuanji received a letter from Li Daozong, who was in the process of being a flying pigeon.
The letter said that he was less than a hundred miles away from Li Yuanji and his friends. Li Yuanji was overjoyed and felt that Li Daozong's army would arrive when it was dark. He immediately ordered his troops to have a good meal and wait until dusk.
