Just as Li Shimin led an army of 150,000 to advance north, Li Jing led another 80,000 troops to advance north along the east bank of the Yellow River. This is why the Liao army would give up the north side of the line on the Gaoling Pujin Pass, in this direction

The Liao army was too prominent. If it did not retreat north quickly, it would be dangerous to be surrounded and annihilated by the Tang army.

The Liao army had no intention of fighting with the Tang army at all. On the north side of the road, they stopped at the line from Shangjun to Hukou Mountain and formed a defensive line. The Tang army advanced to Ziwu Mountain, Wulong Mountain, Liangshan, and to Longmen Pass and Longmen Lines.

, then stopped, more than a hundred miles away from the Liao army's defense line, and the Tang army had no intention of attacking the Liao army's defense line. The good news reached Chang'an, when Li Yuan and his ministers heard that Li Shimin led his army to recover north of the Wei River in one fell swoop

When we were hundreds of miles of land, we couldn't help but feel emotion. Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "If we talk about military use, no one can match the people! Our army was defeated like a mountain and was led by the Liao army.

It is almost unstoppable, and Chang'an is in a huge crisis, and I almost almost gave up Chang'an! However, now Shimin counterattacks, but defeating the Liao army with a destruction and destruction, regaining hundreds of miles of lost land. It is really amazing.

!” The ministers nodded and agreed.

Li Jiancheng was jealous, and Li Yuanji couldn't help but say, "Since the second brother defeated the Liao army in one fell swoop, why didn't he take advantage of the victory to completely annihilate the Liao people and recover all the lost lands?"

Li Yuan thought, "Shimin must have his own considerations. I believe in Shimin's judgment." Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were depressed when he heard this and could not speak. Liu Wenjing clasped his fists at Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty said very well."

.Since the war has ended, Your Majesty might as well recall the King of Qin and ask about the war on the front line in person.” Li Yuan nodded, thought for a moment, and said to Liu Wenjing: "Wenjing, immediately draft an order to reward the three armies, and call Shimin back at the same time

Beijing report on his duties!" "I obey the order!"

Taiyuan. Zhang Lang stood on the city wall and looked at the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers outside the city. He saw the mountains in the distance like dragons, winding on the earth and surround the earth in a lot of atmospheres. The two high mountains in the west suddenly stood opposite each other on the earth.

It was like a pair of tigers roaring at each other, it was really a powerful aura! Zhang Lang couldn't help but sigh: "The atmosphere here in Taiyuan is really amazing! No wonder he gave birth to a hero like Li Shimin and Li Xiuning.

!" Yelu Qingping, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say: "I think they are nothing great! The eldest brother is enough to deal with that Li Shimin. As for Li Xiuning, huh, I don't believe that I will lose to her!"

Zhang Lang laughed loudly. Yelu Qingping said angrily: "Brother, why are you laughing? Do you think I am not as good as that Li Xiuning?" Zhang Lang glanced at Yelu Qingping and smiled: "I don't have that meaning."

, I just feel that these years have passed, Qingping, you have not changed at all, you are still so competitive!" Yelu Qingping smiled and gave Zhang Lang a blank look. Then she thought of what was happening in front of her and couldn't help asking: "Brother

, What should I do next? Are you just waiting for the Tang army to attack?"

Zhang Lang turned his head and looked into the distant sky, smiled and said, "If this is not the case, what do you want to do?" Yelu Qingping said without thinking: "Brother, don't you often say that 'offense is the best defense'?

Of course, it is necessary to attack! I think..." Yelu Qingping lowered her head and thought, but she felt that the Tang army is now based on Gaobi, Gushe Mountain, and Huo Mountain to strengthen itself, and in Hexi, it is dangerous along the Wulong Mountain, Ziwu Mountain in Wulong Mountain in Ziwu Mountain in Hexi.

The terrain is deployed and the troops are far more powerful than our own. In this situation, it looks like a huge turtle and feels like it is impossible to start! Thinking of this, Yelu Qingping couldn't help but frown and said, "These Tang soldiers are like ones."

The huge turtle is really not easy to attack!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "This is because Li Shimin had no intention of really fighting with me at this time. The reason why he launched a large-scale counterattack was that he saw that he had an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to annihilate part of our army to improve Chang'an.

Just the situation......" Yelu Qingping nodded thinking. Zhang Lang looked thoughtful and murmured: "Or, Li Shimin expected that I would give up Gaoling and other places? Haha." Then he said to Yelu Qingping

: "So Li Shimin's previous offense was just a strategy of offense as defense. The purpose was to force us back as much as possible, and then build a defense line on a more favorable terrain to protect Chang'an, and also prepare for future wars.

....As for the current situation of Li Tang, the army suffered heavy losses and the money and food were consumed hugely. It is not appropriate to fight with our army in the short term!" Then he smiled, "But we should not start another war in the near future. After all, I

Fang’s losses are not small, and the newly occupied places still need to be digested and absorbed..." Yelu Qingping said angrily: "I was so angry that I heard these many messy things!"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "You don't need Qingping to consider these things." Yelu Qingping smiled and said, "That's right! Just think about these things with the elder brother! I just follow my elder brother's orders and lead the army to charge into battle!"

Zhang Lang and the other generals present couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

At this time, Fei Xu hurried to Zhang Lang's side, presented a letter from Fei Ge, and said, "King, I just received the letter from Fei Ge!" Zhang Lang took the letter from Fei Ge and read it.

Once again, he smiled and said, "Li Shimin was recalled to Chang'an, and all the Tang army troops have been transferred to a defensive rest state..." Yelu Qingping couldn't help but say, "Just as my brother expected!"

At this time, Li Shimin had just returned to Chang'an. He didn't bother to go back to the mansion to wash away Zhengchen and hurried to the palace to pay homage to his father: "My son is paying homage to his father! Long live the father!" Li Yuan was very happy and quickly got up

Walking to Li Shimin, he helped Li Shimin up with both hands. Looking at the handsome but slightly tired son in front of him, he couldn't help but feel relieved and asked warmly: "Thank you Shimin for so much hard work!" Li Shimin felt flattered and was busy

He clasped his fists and said, "I don't have to work hard for my father and emperor to serve the Tang Dynasty!" Li Yuan nodded with a smile and asked, "Shimin, what's the situation on the front line?"

Li Shimin said: "Don't worry, Father, everything on the front line is as expected by Erchen. Our army has built a strong defense from Ziwu Mountain to Longmen according to the original plan. Even if the Liao army came to attack, Erchen also had the confidence to tell them not to go further.

!”

Li Yuan nodded and asked, "Shimin, your advance northward is unstoppable, but why didn't you completely defeat the Liao army and recover the lost territory?" Li Shimin hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Father,..." Li Yuan turned around and came
