Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

Li Wenhao's army to conquer the west is directly headed by Guan Ning's iron cavalry who are good at long-distance raids, supplemented by Yue Fei's Beiwei army and Li Wenhao's Xiaogui army as the central army, and the rear army is the three thousand led by Jia Fu and Xu Chu. Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion.

Now Li Wenhao intends to keep Jia Fu and Xu Chu by his side, and as for Li Shimin's bodyguard, leave him a Dianwei.

Anyway, the old man didn't go to the battlefield.

"Your Highness, Hulao Pass is just ahead, and the enemy is not near here."

"Not here? Then where can he go for these two days?"

Li Wenhao was a little surprised. Could it be that they broke the city?

It doesn't make sense that such a steady general like Xu Da would fail so quickly!

"Let's go to Luoyang!"

The group continued westward, and when they arrived near Luoyang, they could already smell a hint of gunpowder smoke.

Xu Da's army has already entered Hulao Pass, while the Chang'an garrison led by Li Jiancheng stationed troops in Luoyang, and went to Sishui Pass. Flies to the direction of the same.

Although their marching route was planned out by someone, they were not from Datang after all, and they didn't know the way at all. When their marching route was blocked by someone, they panicked completely.

But this group of people is not stupid, they all know that after the city is closed, it must be a battleground for military strategists, and now they are desperately fighting this Hulao pass.

Reasonably speaking, the majesty of Hulao Pass can definitely be ranked in the top five of these passes in Datang. It may be more difficult for him to attack the city than Fan Yang.

After all, Hulao is such a big place, if you can’t deploy a large army, you can only send a small number of people to die, and all dynasties have reinforced Hulao Pass, a grand pass in the Central Plains.

To put it bluntly, even if someone besieged the city, the supplies hoarded in Hulaoguan would be enough for the military and civilians to use for five years.

Five years is enough to change the dynasty.

"Your Highness, there is also a large army coming from the grassland, and they are now attacking here."

"Did you come from Yanmen Gate?"

"Yes!"

Li Wenhao nodded, the person who came from Yanmen Gate should be the Zhaolie Camp under Han Xin's command.

But, why did two large armies come over in the direction of the Great Wall?

Li Wenhao ordered the army to set up camp, now he regrets it a bit, he thinks highly of the enemy too much, Li Xiaogong and Li Shentong did not even see the appearance of the enemy.

Even the troops brought by Li Jiancheng only fought the enemy at Sishui Pass, and the enemy moved to Hulao Pass when they saw that Sishui Pass was difficult to fight.

"Your Highness, Zhang Liang and General Li Ji are asking to see you."

"How did they come?"

Li Wenhao was a little surprised.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

"The two generals are excused, I don't know how you came here, over there at the Great Wall?"

"Hey! Speaking of this makes me angry!"

Zhang Liang sat on the chair with a strong horse, took a sip of water, and then said, "At the beginning, there was an accident in Fan Yangcheng, the news could not be spread, and we didn't know what happened. Until a few days ago, the prince's subordinates The general named Han Xin happened to be leading troops across the Great Wall, so I asked about it, and it was not until then.”

"I'll discuss it with Li Jing and Li Ji immediately."

"Later, Li Jing asked two of us to bring [-] cavalry to help, while he continued to guard the Great Wall's defense line."

"By the way, His Royal Highness, that Han Xin under your command is amazing, really amazing, as expected a hero born a boy."

"When passing the Great Wall, Han Xin said that the enemy must be near Hulao Pass. Let us go on the west front, and he goes on the east front. Then we will attack from left to right. Guess what?"

"As soon as we passed the Great Wall, we captured the enemy's grain and grass camp, and burned him down."

Zhang Liang proudly showed off.

"Okay, isn't it because General Han Xin gave you a favor on purpose, and you can't even see this?"

Li Ji curled his lips helplessly, "But Your Highness, we can change our strategy now, don't fight the enemy decisively, and starve them for a few days."

"Now the enemy is still in the kind of time when we can sink the boat, we have to wait until they are powerless to attack, and then reduce casualties and expand the results of the battle."

"Okay, just listen to General Li Ji!"

Li Wenhao held a banquet in the army that night. As soon as the dishes were served, Han Xin arrived with Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, and Zhao Yun.

"His Royal Highness, I seem to be right?"

Han Xin said with a smile.

"Come on, you belong to the dog's nose."

"By the way, come to me in the middle of the night, what's the matter?"

"That's it, Your Highness. I'm going to lead my troops to quickly enter the Valley of the Dead. Although the enemy is trapped outside the Hulao Pass, the trapped beasts are still fighting. After they fail to advance westward, they will probably go to Shanxi or go to the grassland like headless chickens. "

"Where is Huaibi Pass? General Xu Da has already sent Lan Yu to take 1 people there. With these 1 people, Huaibi Pass can be called a natural danger. In the Valley of the Dead, we have not set up a pass city, so I plan to enter overnight. Valley of the Dead, blocking the way for the enemy to jump over the wall."

"Destroy this group of Shiwei people before Hulao Pass"

"Okay, just do as you said, sit down and have a meal."

"Let's stop eating for now. The camp has already started preparations. We will go to the Valley of the Dead to see the terrain after we report. See you at the celebration banquet, Your Highness."

"Okay, then I won't keep you guys."

Han Xin left with the drooling men. They hadn't had such a hearty meal for a long time after fighting for so long.

"Two generals, in this battle, the enemy on the left wing will be handed over to you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the two of us haven't exercised for a long time."

That night, there was nothing to say, but the next day, the enemy's attack became much more ferocious. Xu Da felt that this battle was a bit too...

Too bully.

Hulao Pass has been managed by several dynasties, and now it is a hedgehog, and bundles of arrows have been placed on the city wall.

Moreover, the city wall is divided into upper and lower layers, with a hollow in the middle, where all the large bed crossbows are placed, and the angle can be adjusted.

Every time a war starts, someone will climb in and manipulate the bed crossbow.

From the beginning of this war to the present, the continuous bed crossbow of the Tang Dynasty has become the enemy's nightmare.

The next day, Li Wenhao was playing five-finger chess with Lu Wenzhao bored.

"Your Highness, have you lost?"

"I didn't lose!"

"You really lost, I have five fingers connected."

Lu Wenzhao stretched out his hand to Li Wenhao, indicating that it was time for Li Wenhao to bring the last piece of silver on the table.

"No, let's play again!"

Li Wenhao's eyes were red, like a gambler.

"I'm not coming, Your Highness, the pocket money the princess gave you for this month has already been lost. You are an empty-handed white wolf. I won't play with you. If I win, I dare not go to your house to ask for it."

"The crown princess found out, and my salary will be deducted."

Lu Wenzhao said sadly.

"Lu Wenzhao, what did you say?"

"Do you mean that I am afraid of my daughter-in-law?"

"Your Highness, what do you say?"

Lu Wenzhao did not expect that Li Wenhao, who is invincible in the world, would be afraid of his wife. This is really rare, especially in this feudal society, not many people are afraid of their wives.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Lu Wenzhao, let's study the fifty army sticks!"

"Your Highness, this is your money. You forgot just now that you put it here?"

Lu Wenzhao obsequiously pushed the money in front of Li Wenhao, with a coquettish smile on his face.

"Lu Wenzhao, you know that this palace is famous for treating money like dung. Besides, this palace works as the Fan Yang auction house, and its subordinates control half of the entire Tang Dynasty. Do you think that this palace is short of money?"

"You do not understand!"

"You don't understand the happiness of rich people!"

"What I lack is happiness..."

While speaking, Li Wenhao put all the money into his robe, even checked under the chessboard, and nodded in satisfaction after making sure there was nothing missing.

"Your Highness, the people of Shiwei have sent envoys to see you."

"Oh?"

Li Wenhao glanced at Lu Wenzhao, who quickly tidied up the place, took down the chessboard, stood beside him respectfully, and then yelled out the door, "Let him come in!"

"I've met the coach of Datang, but I don't know how to call him?"

Although the person who came had a red nose, he could speak Chinese more or less clearly, and Li Wenhao didn't have to translate by himself.

"Just call me grandpa!"

"In Datang, it is an honor for people like you to call me grandpa."

"I met Grandpa Datang..."

puff~!

Li Wenhao laughed outright, and even Lu Wenzhao and the guards who were standing beside him suppressed their laughter with pained expressions on their faces.

"Well, get up! Remember, this grandpa is divided into relatives and not relatives. You don't deserve to call me grandpa, understand?"

"it is good!"

The emissary was a little happy, after all, from Li Wenhao's words, it could be seen that he was taken seriously.

In other words, is Li Wenhao very jealous?

"My dear grandson, what is your purpose here?"

"Grandpa, our commander-in-chief wants me to fight the battle. I heard that the Central Plains people are good at forming troops. We have a formation here, and we want to fight with you."

"Ha ha!"
