Sui and Tang Dynasties: At the beginning, Mrs. Li ran away from relatives

"Hush Sizheng is back!"

Yang Xuangan was overjoyed.

"Enter."

Immediately afterwards, he said hastily.

Now that Hu Sizheng is back, it means that there must be some good progress in Xuchang

promise.

With Chu Gong's permission, Hu Sizheng walked into the tent of the Chinese army.

"See Duke Chu."

Hu Sizheng bowed his hands and saluted.

"Get up and report quickly."

Yang Xuangan urged immediately.

o

"Our army has captured Xuchang."

Immediately, Husi Zhenghui reported.

"very good!"

Yang Xuangan wanted to speed up the progress of the Chu army, but this idea came up, and Hu Sizheng came back with a great victory.

"Chu Gong, since this is the case, our army should go all out in Tuxiang City."

"When Xiangcheng is taken, our army can go straight to Taigu Pass and open up another road to Luoyang."

Li Mi was also overjoyed and suggested.

"At that time, Yang Yichen will have to return to help."

Hu Sizheng took the rebuttal and smiled.

If Yang Yichen does not return aid, it will lose the meaning of guarding Xingyang.

Because the Chu army can enter Luoyang from Taigu Pass, if Yang Yichen returns to help, this Xingyang is also very likely to be attacked by the Chu army.

For the Sui army, this is a difficult problem.

No matter whether you choose to support Taigu Pass or continue to guard Xingyang, you can't stop the Chu army from preparing to enter the hinterland of Luoyang.

"it is good."

Yang Xuangan nodded and directly decided on this strategy.

"Hu Sizheng, you continue to increase troops to Xuchang's side."

Then, a new military order began to be issued.

During this period of time, people from the Chu army continued to come to seek refuge, and their strength had grown to another level, a full 12.There are completely surplus troops that can be used for temporary mobilization.

"promise!"

Hu Sizheng led the order.

When the military order was issued, Hu Sizheng left from the tent of the Chinese army.

When Hu Sizheng left, only Li Mi and Yang Xuangan were left in the main tent of the Chinese army.

Yang Xuangan looked at the map, staring at Luoyang, the eastern capital, while Li Mi was thinking about the Han army in his heart.

"This Han army has great potential. Maybe in the future, it will become the enemy of all rebels."

Thinking about it, Li Mi asserted directly in the dark.

Although the Chu army seems to have a lot of troops, there are not many real elites, they are just powerful.On the whole, the strength may be weaker than that of the Han army.

"In this way, it is not bad to choose the worst policy."

What surprised Li Mi even more was that the primary strategy at the beginning was to attack Chang'an, and he felt lucky for that.Fortunately, the last choice was the worst strategy. Otherwise, if we went to fight Chang'an, wouldn't we miss a lot of opportunities for nothing?

Just when the Chu army got the relevant news, Cao Feng led an expeditionary army and used the Liangzhou navy to cross the river, preparing to go to Sangquan City.

The three Li Jiancheng who were imprisoned in the prison car appeared on the deck.

When they saw the navy again, and even saw the navy general with their own eyes, they respectfully asked Cao to be sealed on the deck.

The three of them felt unhappy, and they once again witnessed the strength of the Han army.

"Hey, looking at the posture of the Han army, this is about to enter Bingzhou. vo Li Jiancheng said in a low voice.

"That's right. If you want to go south, you will most likely run into our army."

Dou Wei nodded.

"Then isn't our army going to face the powerful Han army without knowing it?"

Wang Wuyi couldn't help feeling a little worried.

They don't doubt now whether the Han army will attack Tang Gong and others.

Li Jiancheng, as the eldest son of the Li family, had this fate, why wouldn't the Han army attack the Tang army?

"Don't worry, if the Han army wants to win and run into father and the others, they will have to pass through Puban."

Li Jiancheng comforted him.

"The Sui army in Puban is strong, maybe it can stop the Han army and let father and the others know the news."

Although this is what he said, Li Jiancheng will inevitably be worried.

The strength shown by the Han army is too strong, and he is not absolutely sure that the Han army will definitely get stuck in Banpu.

"That's all."

Dou Wei and Wang Wuyi said worriedly.

They don't know yet that Huo Yi has been captured, so they are so worried.

While the three were talking, the warship had already docked.

Cao Feng led the army to land on the shore, and led all the soldiers to the direction of Sangquan City.

The army entered Sangquan City, and all civil and military officials quickly came to the local yamen, preparing to discuss the next matters.

But there were footsteps coming again, and the person who came here was Lu Bing from Liangzhou Jinyiwei.

"See Your Majesty."

Lu Bing saluted.

"Exemption."

The reason why Lu Bing appeared here was because he was specially sent here to inquire about a series of intelligence in parts of Bingzhou.Luo Sigong is based in the Central Plains, and his information needs are mainly in the Central Plains, so he can't spare time at all.

Liangzhou has stabilized, and some personnel can be sent to build a simple intelligence network.

Although it can't cover the entire territory of Bingzhou, it is still possible to spy on Tang Jun's intelligence.

Only in this way can the normal operation of Jinyiwei in various places be maintained.

"Go and inquire about the current situation of the Tang army, where is their main force, and how many troops Huo Yi has stationed." Immediately, Cao Feng explained directly.

promise.

Lu Bing clapped his hands in response.

"Take this letter again, and hide it in Li Shimin's house in an extremely secret way."

With that said, Cao Feng took out two letters.

"This is? "

Seeing this, the civil and military officers who accompanied him on the expedition all looked at the two letters in Shang Wang's hands in puzzlement.

"Your Majesty, this is?"

For example, Fang Xuanling couldn't help asking.

However, Cao Feng just smiled and said nothing.

promise.

Lu Bing responded, took the letter solemnly, and then left quickly, preparing to spy on Tang Jun's military situation.

"what exactly is it? "

When they saw the king, they didn't plan to say anything for the time being, so they secretly guessed.

"The king said before that the second step against Li Tang was to be launched. Could it be related to this? Changsun Wuji also speculated about this.

"When the time comes, everything will be clear."

However, Cao Feng still didn't intend to explain.

The two letters just now will play a vital role in dealing with Li Tang's second step. When the time comes, you civil and military people will naturally understand.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xuangan must have known about our army's capture of Liangzhou." Du Ruhui said after Lu Bing left.

"That's right, Yang Xuangan is bound to become more impatient, and the Chu army won't be able to hold on for long."

Changsun Wuji followed suit.

I believe that it won't be long before Chu Jun will come to the door, and they will also have the initiative.

"As long as the Chu army sends envoys, our army can use them to attract the attention of the Sui army." Yue Fei knew the strategy of the Chu army.

"At that time, our army can go straight to Luoyang without hindrance."

Li Jing took over the conversation.

"Yes, our army is waiting for them to take the initiative to come to the door, and they are the ones who are anxious."

"Everyone, what's your opinion on the next step?"

The opponent was just a chess piece, he didn't care too much about Cao Feng, and said instead.

"Your Majesty, according to the previous plan, we need to build a strong line of defense near Hedong County."

"If you want to do this, you need to take down Puban first."

At this time, Changsun Wuji spoke first.

"That's right, the current Sui general guarding Puban is Qu Tutong, a veteran of the Sui Dynasty."

"He has [-] Xiaoguo Guards and [-] Zuo Ling Army in his hands. There are not many troops, and they are all elite." As he said, Du Ruhui frowned slightly.

"If our army attacks by force, it will take a long time."

As soon as the voice fell, Yue Fei stood up.

In short, the Sui army could not hold out with Puban, and could hold on for a long time.

If the Han army attacked by force, it would not only take time, but also increase the damage a lot.

"Strong attack is not advisable. If Qu Tutong can be subdued, that would be the best thing."

Cao Feng nodded slightly and said lightly.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will not be an easy task. This old general is stubborn and cannot persuade him to surrender easily."

Li Jing said helplessly.

He held some official positions in Bingzhou at the beginning, and heard about this old general.

"Yes, the rumors are true."

Changsun Wuji staggered and said.

When he was in Gaofu, he heard a lot about this stubborn old general.

From this point of view, could it be that the road of subjugation is impossible, and the only option is to attack by force?

"Your Majesty, it's not impossible to subdue this person."

After a brief silence, Du Ruhui, who thought of something, spoke out.
