Chapter 38: Dingguanzhong 3
The atmosphere in the Chinese army's tent was very depressing. No one among the generals dared to speak out. Even Pei Ji, who usually relied on Li Yuan's favor and was extremely arrogant, showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. No one else, just because until now
, Daxing City has not been captured yet, and the persuasion to surrender has not worked at all. Several soldiers who shouted were killed by Yin Shishi with powerful crossbows. The commotion made Li Yuan extremely embarrassed, and Pei Ji felt that everyone was looking at him.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"I have been waiting to enter Bashang on the fourth day of October. It is already the twenty-ninth day, and our army is still stopped below the city. If it were not for the many granaries in Guanzhong, I am afraid that we would be in a situation of insufficient food and grass again." Li Yuan glanced at everyone, and finally
Falling on Pei Ji, he sighed softly and said: "I have decided that starting from tomorrow, all the generals will work together to capture Daxing. The first to enter Daxing will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold."
"General, take your orders." The generals quickly stood up and shouted.
"The army is divided into four divisions." Li Jing glanced at Li Jiancheng and others again and said, "Jian Jiancheng is in charge of the right army, Shimin is in charge of the left army, Zhiyun, you and your sister are in charge of the rear army, and I am in charge of the center army. We will work together to capture it tomorrow."
Daxing." In a moment, Li Yuan divided his 200,000-strong army into four parts, each of which was in charge of himself and his four children.
"Zhao Ci, Zhiyun and Xiu Ning have only been in the army for a short period of time, so the army will rely on you now." Li Yuan said to Lu Zhaoci again with a smile on his face.
"The last general takes orders." Lu Zhaoci's face showed no displeasure at all because Li Yuan deprived him of his military power. He could see clearly that this was Li Yuan's balancing act. His two sons were too powerful.
In just a short period of time, many troops have gathered under his command. If we don't check and balance at this time, how long will it take? Although the army is divided into four parts at the moment, it is actually divided into three parts. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin each took the lead.
One army, the remaining one is Li Yuan himself. Li Zhiyun is just a concubine, and Li Xiuning is a daughter. Although there are many talents under his command, they will still belong to Li Yuan in the future.
Only Li Yuan understands this, but Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin do not understand all this. Are these two people stupid? No, these two brothers are quite shrewd, otherwise Li Yuan would not adopt a balancing strategy, but the two
Being trapped in the situation, it was inevitable that they couldn't understand. Seeing that Li Yuan actually promoted a concubine, the two of them couldn't help but have some ideas. They looked at each other and could see a hint of brotherly love in each other's eyes.
Come, but in fact, only you know your personal thoughts. The great cause is about to succeed, and it’s time to share the fruits. Who will get the big share? Hey, it depends on each other’s strength.
With an army of more than 200,000 people, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were in charge of the two battalions on the left and right, which still numbered 30,000. Li Yuan gained a force of 100,000 and took charge of the central army, while the remaining 80,000 troops were handed over to Li Zhiyun and Li Xiuning.
.It was a proper division. Although Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin coveted Li Zhiyun's troops, they knew that these troops were actually Li Xiuning's Guanzhong army. Although they were eager to get them, what they wanted more was Li Xiuning's support.
The next day, Li Yuan gathered troops and horses and divided them into four armies to attack Daxing City together. Li Yuan led the central army, including Yin Kaishan, Liu Hongji and other generals, to attack Chunming Gate. Li Jiancheng led the army leader Lei Yongji and other generals to attack Jinguang Gate.
, Li Shimin led Liu Wenjing, Hou Junji and other generals to attack Mingde Gate, while Lu Zhaoci, Li Xiuning, Li Zhiyun and others attacked Fanglin Gate. Among the four armies, the main attacker was naturally the Chinese army Li Yuan's army, and his soldiers
Like rain, there are like clouds of counselors, and then there are the generals under Li Zhiyun. Not only are famous generals like Li Jing, but also powerful generals such as Lu Zhaoying and the Qiu brothers. However, Fanglin Gate is close to the inner court of the imperial palace, Yeting Palace. Although Yin Shishi has
There are not enough troops on the battlefield, but a lot of soldiers have gathered at Honglin Gate to defend.
Following Li Yuan's order, Daxing City suddenly fell into a sea of knives and fire, and the shouts of killing shook the earth. The people in Daxing City trembled and closed their doors one after another, not daring to show their heads. The large and small cities were tightly closed, and Suzaku couldn't get out.
The streets were even more heavily guarded, with only the Xiaoguo army walking along them.
Among the many cities, Daxing City, as the capital of the Sui Dynasty, was undoubtedly the strongest. And the Yin Shishi had dug up Li Yuan's ancestral graves. He knew that once Daxing was breached, Li Jing would not be able to forgive him. The resistance was the fiercest, and both sides
On the top of the city, you and I fight for it, which is extremely fierce.
"Brother, Sun Hua just died in battle." Lu Zhaoying's face was covered with black smoke, and her body was stained with a lot of blood. Fang Xuanling frowned slightly.
"Sun Hua is dead?" Lu Zhaoci showed a trace of regret on his face. Sun Hua took refuge with Li Yuan in Longmen. He was a rebel leader with extraordinary abilities. He had escaped Qu Tutong's attacks many times, but he didn't expect that he was actually in Daxing City.
died in the attack and defense.
"There is no point in fighting without death." Fang Xuanling on the other side showed a hint of sarcasm on his lips. Although he had accepted his fate, it did not mean that he had no objections to Lu Zhaoci.
"What a pity to die!" Lu Zhaoci sighed, suddenly turned around and asked: "Brother Fang, who do you think should get the credit for this effort?" Fang Xuanling's expression changed, and she glanced at Li Xiuning aside, and gently said
Said: "What do you think, General?"
"Our army has a talented person like Fang Xuanling and a military genius like Li Jing. I think this credit can fall on us!" Lu Zhaoci coughed lightly.
"Aren't you afraid that your great achievements will shock the master, and your skills will be better than those in the forest? What's more, this will be detrimental to Wu Lang!" Fang Xuanling also showed a trace of hesitation on his face. It is so troublesome to assist a bastard, because this bastard
His future lies not with himself, but in Li Yuan's hands. To what extent can Li Yuan be satisfied without being wary? This is a question of scale. But if he does not obtain this first achievement, Li Zhiyun's contribution will be small.
Many. It will not be enough for Li Zhiyun to gain a foothold in the future.
Lu Zhaoci smiled slightly and said: "Zhiyun is young, so he should focus on studying. I, Mr. Lu, have made great contributions and can be appointed as a general and stationed in the capital. Of course, I will not be able to lead the army under my command. Hehe,
Just be a free man. I have already thought about it. After the capital is calmed down, I will open an academy at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and then invite a few famous people to recruit apprentices, either in literature or martial arts. By the way, Brother Xuanling also
Can I be a professor?"
"Really?" Fang Xuanling's face changed, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. He didn't believe that Lu Zhaoci was really willing to be marginalized.
"Of course." A mysterious look appeared on Lu Zhaoci's lips, and he smiled: "The world is full of peaches and plums, so it's not bad."
"The world is filled with peaches and plums?" Fang Xuanling muttered softly, then looked at Lu Zhaoci thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "But let's break the Daxing City in front of us first!"
"This is easy." Lu Zhaoci laughed loudly.
