Chapter 391: The Battle of Liyang

Liyang City is in chaos.// Welcome to read//

In the south of the city, Wang Junguo led his army to chase Li Shimin. After that, the Wagang army on both sides fought fiercely in the city.

Afterwards, hundreds of corpses were left behind in Chengnan City. Today, the robes of the past turned against each other.

The people in the city closed their doors and were in panic all day long.

Rumors circulated in the city. Some people rumored that Xu Shiji wanted to usurp power and seize the throne, kill Li Mi and establish himself as king. Some people even said that Wang Junguo wanted to kill Li Mi and avenge Zhai's head of state.

But no matter what kind of rumors are, it is said in the end that the victorious party will clean the city of Liyang and completely eradicate the other party.

Some people say that the so-called rebel army, like the Wagang Army, composed of grassroots men, will have an internal battle without a few years apart, and it is not enough to achieve success. Everyone is increasingly disappointed with the Wagang Army. Now it is not only the generals and officials of the Wagang Army, but even the support of the Wagang people have begun to shake.

After losing the hearts of the people, the Wagang Army is now just named, but it is actually in name only.

In the military camp in the south of the city, Li Chongjiu, Xu Shiji, Guo Xiaoke, Xu Gai, Wang Junkuo, and the King of Qi who escaped from danger, Princess Changle were discussing it.

Xu Shiji said, "I just received the news that Yu Wenhe led a army of 30,000 from Wei County and came to Liyang. In just a few days, I can reach the city. In this way, I want to take advantage of the arms fighting in Liyang and Wagang to occupy this city to seize Cangcheng."

Guo Xiaoke said, "Yu Wen and this thief have been peeking at Li Yang Cang for a long time. Before the Battle of Tongshan, Yu Wen He led more than 100,000 troops to slaughter the food, so he attacked Cangcheng and wanted to seize the food. If Brother Xu had not dug a trenches and defended the city to death, Cangcheng would have been broken long ago. This time he made a comeback, which was ambition to win."

On the other side, Yang Xiao showed hatred when he heard Yu Wen and his name. Yang Xiao said, "Yu Wen and this person are deeply trusted by their father, but they betrayed the court. On the night of Jiangdu, I will never forget it in this life. Governor Li, I know that you are in the court, and you must be the orphan, the Great Sui Dynasty, and behead this person to comfort the people of the world. The rioters and thieves must kill him."

When everyone present reacted mediocrely when they heard Yang Ming’s passionate words.

For example, Xu Shiji, Wang Junguo and others were originally generals of Wagang. When they rebel against the Sui Dynasty, they had no good feelings for Yang Guang. Yang Hing said that they would not care about killing Yu Wenhua and avenge Yang Guang.

Xu Shiji thought about it and said in a realistic manner: "Your Highness, Yu Wenhua and his former attack on Tongshan, had 20,000 elite soldiers around him. This time, he recruited soldiers and raised horses in Wei County, and after gaining a foothold, he made a comeback. With the current situation in Liyang City, he could not defend at all."

When Yang Qing heard Xu Shiji's rebuttal, his unhappiness was beyond words: "Governor Li was brave enough to fight. Didn't he come with three thousand Youzhou tigers and wolves? Besides, there are still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the city, and the grain and grass in Cangcheng can last for more than ten years. He is guarding the city with danger. Yu Culture and can only retreat. Do you think you don't understand anything and don't understand the situation? Are you here to deceive the orphan?"

Guo Xiaoke sneered and said, "King of Qi, so what if you guard Liyang City? Liyang is located at the Yellow River, at the intersection of Tongji Canals, with waterways intersecting, and everyone can attack. Today I have gone to Yu Culture and I will come to Dou Jiande tomorrow, and Wang Shichong the day after tomorrow. What's the use of defending this lonely city?"

"You are just a small school. If I were in Dongdu back then, I would have ordered people to beat you to death by sticking, and no one would dare to criticize you."

Guo Xiaoke glanced at King Qi and said, "King King Qi, this is Li Yang, not the Eastern Capital. Even in the Eastern Capital, it is not the Eastern Capital several years ago."

Yang Ming's face turned red when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly.

"Second brother, don't get angry." Yang Ehuang hurriedly grabbed Yang Hing and said.

Xu Gai said on the side, "The King of Qi is still please calm down. Shi Ji, Xiaoke will not apologize to the King of Qi."

Xu Shiji listened to his father's words and said with a fist: "The King of Qi, the last general, also said bluntly and had no intention of offending him. Please forgive me."

Guo Xiaoke sneered a few times and sat still. But when he saw Xu Shiji glaring at him, he stood up lazily and said, "King of Qi, I'm a rough man, I don't know how to speak, so I hope I won't be surprised."

When Yang Qing saw that he went down the steps, his face calmed down. He looked at Li Chongjiu and thought to himself that he wanted to suppress such an old general like Wagang, and he needed the support of this person.

At that moment, Yang Ming said calmly: "Well, there is something wrong with the Lone King."

After hearing what Yang Hing said, Li Chongjiu nodded slightly. It seemed that King Qi had made progress after this hardship, at least this superficial skill was achieved.

For Li Chongjiu now, Li Yang will definitely not be able to defend it, but the question is who to abandon the city and who to give it to the mountains of grain and grass in the Cangcheng.

Of course, it is not possible to give Li Tang. With Li Yuan's current power, if he gains Li Yangcang, if he is like a tiger, Dou Jiande will naturally not. In the future, Dou Jiande will be Li Chongjiu's main opponent in fighting for Hebei. Isn't it a way to support him with food?

But if it is burned, it will hurt the peace. In this chaotic world, you may be able to live a life. If anyone does this, the people will be stabbed behind the back.

So after thinking about it, the only way to give Yu Culture and the most suitable one is to give Yu Culture and the most suitable one. According to Wei County Yu Culture and is now in the gap between Li Yuan and Dou Jiande, in history, Yu Culture and was beaten to pieces by Li Shentong and Dou Jiande with a left punch and a right slap.

So with the grain and grass of Li Yang Cang, Yu Culture and the others should be able to support them for a while under the attack of Li Yuan and Dou Jiande.

Li Chongjiu said immediately: "Liyang and Youzhou are too far away, so we cannot defend it. Now I decided to lead the army back to Youzhou. I wonder what the princess thinks about the princess?"

When Yang Ming heard this, he couldn't help but think of the prosperity of the Eastern Capital and the richness of the Western Capital. When he thought of the bitter and cold Youzhou, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, but he also knew that this was his best decision at the moment.

So Yang Ming said helplessly: "According to Mr. Shanggu's words, I will be in Youzhou."

When Yang Ehuang saw that his brother and Li Chongjiu reached an agreement, he couldn't help but smile sweetly and felt very happy.

At this time, a general outside the tent came in to report and said, "Report to General Xu."

Xu Shiji said, "Now, everything is up to Princess Shanggu, please report it to him."

The general was stunned and turned to Li Chongjiu and said, "I hope you will report to Duke Shanggu, Duke Wei and Li Shimin, the northern part of the city, have led their troops to join the family of Wagang Army, packed their luggage and prepared to leave Liyang."

"Oh? Duke Wei finally decided to return to Guanzhong?" Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh. Just like in history, Li Mi finally led the Wagang army west into Guanzhong and defected to Li Tang.

At this moment, Li Mi sat on the carriage without expression on the face of the city.

The carriage was bumpy, but Li Mi kept silent. Most of the officials under his command were with Li Shimin at this moment. At the moment, only Wang Bodang was with him alone.

The great thing was over, and Li Mi also let go of everything in his heart at this moment. The Liyang City behind him recorded his ups and downs.

He remembered that in the ninth year of Daye, he was at the head of Liyang City, and he offered three strategies to destroy the Sui Dynasty to Yang Xuangan, who was guarding Liyang. At that time, he was Yang Xuangan's planner, young and energetic, and thought that all the heroes in the world were under his control.

The second time he arrived was several years later, when he started an army in Hebei, and Xu Shiji led 5,000 elite troops to easily defeat Liyang Cangcheng.

Li Mi opened a warehouse and released grain here, and used the grain to recruit more than 200,000 soldiers. For a while, the soldiers in Wagang Village were strong and strong. He remembered that he was full of confidence and had the capital to compete for the world with the head Zhai Rangyan. Wagang Village could go south to Henan and attack the Dongdu.

The past is still in sight, but this time, Li Mi is already confused. Yang Xuangan and Zhai Rang who served back then have become old and overthrew the Great Sui Dynasty, established a new dynasty, and unified the world. I thought it was the cause of his own.

But he did not expect that the Mangshan army would be defeated and the Luoshui would be defeated again. The dream of fighting for hegemony disappeared in a blink of an eye. He and Yu Wenhua and Luoyang were both defeated and benefited Wang Shichong. But in the end, the real fisherman was Li Yuan who firmly sat on the Diaoyutai in Chang'an.

Li Mi sighed, hegemony became empty.

The carriage slowly moved, but the Wagang army soldiers behind him looked back at Liyang, but turned back three times in one step. Compared with the officials and generals who were eager to join Li Tang, they were helpless to go to Guanzhong. For these ordinary people, being able to stay in their hometown was what they really wanted.

Behind Li Miche, Li Shimin was discussing several people with Changsun Wuji, Xu Jingzong and Liu Xie.

Xu Jingzong said, "We withdraw from Liyang, which is a bargaining for Yu Culture and this person can recruit more than 100,000 more troops based on this Cangcheng, but he may make a comeback."

Liu Xie said, "Yu Wen is just a dry bone in the tomb. After hearing that he was defeated by Tongshan, he fled to Wei County. He said that life would be dead, wouldn't he be the emperor for one day? So he killed Qin Wang Hao, killed Jibei Marquis Yang Zhan, and proclaimed himself the emperor, and the false name was Xu. These people were crazy and went against the trend. Even if they gave him more than 100,000 troops, what would be the benefit? Li Chongji got the help of Xu Shiji and Guo Xiaoke and added more than 10,000 elite troops in Wagang. This cannot be killed in Liyang. If he let him go back to Youzhou, it would be like a dragon entering the sea and a tiger returning to the deep mountains. If this is not eliminated, it will be a major concern in the future."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Mr. Liu is right, Auxiliary, immediately draft a letter for me and informed the Shandong Ambassador to appease the ambassador and the Right Guard General Huai'an, and asked him to intercept him halfway when Li Chongjiu returned to Youzhou in the north, so that he could not return to Youzhou."

Xu Jingzong and Liu Xie were all happy when they heard this. Xu Jingzong said, "When the King of Huai'an came out and intercepted and killed him halfway, Li Chongjiu's life would be difficult to protect."

Li Shimin nodded, and when Xu Jingzong and Liu Xie withdrew from the tent, Changsun Wuji said, "The King of Huai'an commanded several states in Shandong Road. Without the emperor's decree, I'm afraid the King of Huai'an would not buy our tent."

Li Shimin said: "The King of Huai'an wants to conquer the heroes of Hebei. Only Li Chongjiu and Dou Jiande want to eliminate them. You said in your letter that it is amazing, and he will not sit idly by and watch Li Chongjiu return to the north."

Changsun Wuji nodded when he heard this and said, "What the King of Qin said is so good, I will prepare my pen and ink now."
