Chapter five hundred and seventy-two: the front door goes to the tiger, the back door enters the wol

"Master Sheng Yan ruined the big deal!"

Li Shimin's eyes flashed. It was no longer a matter of pursuing how Xuanyuan Pass was captured. Once Xuanyuan Pass was lost, Zhao's troops in Xuanyuan Pass could go north to cut off Yanshi's retreat at any time, or go straight to Luoyang. Although it was not clear about the specific forces of Zhao's army at Xuanyuan Pass, Li Shimin could no longer continue to defend Yanshi.

Li Shimin looked at the way Hulao Pass came and said resolutely: "Retreat troops to the city of Luoyang and meet with the King of Qi and Qu Tutong's army!"

Since things cannot be done, then just withdraw your troops and never drag them down. After thinking through this, Li Shimin made a decision.

"So what should I do if Zheng Jun is trapped here?" Changsun Wuji asked.

Li Shimin said lightly: "They are Li Chongjiu's abandoned son. It's useless to kill them. Withdraw the siege and troops!"

Immediately, the Tang army began to retreat, and in Yanshi City, the county magistrate and county magistrate saw the Tang army withdrawing, and they all went out to plead: "We will surrender to Zheng and surrender to Tang. This matter must be angered by Wang Shichong. Now that the Tang army withdraws, we will be killed by Wang Shichong, and ask the King of Qin to pity!"

Li Shimin said quietly: "Don't worry, county magistrate, you can withdraw with our army!"

The county magistrate and the county magistrate were all very happy, and thought to himself that His Highness, the King of Qin, was a generous person, saying: "Thank you, the gentry and people in the city..."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "The rest of the orphans can't take care of so many."

Half a day later, Li Chongjiu's commanding flag appeared in Yanshi City.

There were raging fires on the top of Yanshi City. It was obvious that after the Li Tang army withdrew from Yanshi, they set fire to the city without leaving it to the Zhao army. There were refugees outside Yanshi City, with thousands of wailing everywhere.

When Li Chongjiu saw that he ordered Wei Zheng to take out military rations to appease the people, Ji Chuan said: "Our military ration ship has not arrived yet. Now I will distribute the food to the people. How can our army march into Luoyang?"

Li Chongjiu glanced at Ji Chuan and said, "I don't care about food and grass, but for the sake of fame!"

While talking, Wang Xuanying, Du Yan, Changsun Shi'an and others came to see Li Chongjiu in a hurry. Wang Xuanying's hair was in a mess and grabbed Li Chongjiu's horse when he saw Li Chongjiu and cried loudly.

Du Yan also shed tears and said, "I regret not listening to Your Majesty's words, so we can hardly save our lives."

Li Chongjiu said: "It's good that you are safe and sound. I didn't expect Li Shimin to ambush at Yanshi. It's my fault."

Wang Xuanying, Du Yan, Changsun Shi'an and the other two were ashamed and said that Li Chongjiu was comforting them. Zhang Xuansu said on the side: "Don't be discouraged, our army has broken through Xuanyuan Pass, and we are here together. The siege of Luoyang can be resolved every now and Zheng State is fine."

After hearing this, the three of them recovered slightly from the shadows in the defeat.

After the people of Yanshi received the military rations from the Zhao army, thousands of people were extremely grateful. The Zhao army took advantage of the situation and headed towards Luoyang.

After passing Yanshi, the last barrier in Luoyang was gone, and below was the wide Heluo Plain. Zhou Gong ran Luoyi and described it as saying: "In this world, all directions will be tributed, and the road is all."

The rise and fall of the past has always depended on the Central Plains.

The Heluo Plain is located in the heart of the Central Plains, with He, Luo and Yi Sanchuan. After Qin destroyed the Zhou royal family, Sanchuan County was established here.

After Yang Guang became emperor, he listened to the words of the minister Yu Jicai and moved the capital Chang'an to Luoyang. Later, Yang Guang led more than 100,000 troops of Xiaoguo to the south of the Yangtze River. When he left Luoyang, he wrote poems to the palace maids who stayed in Luoyang. I dreamed of Jiangdu, and it was also accidental to conquer Liao. But the color is there, and the parting is only this year. In the end, Yang Guang left Dongdu and never returned.

In order to win the world, Li Mi fought several times at the Luoyang City, but finally failed in Yanshi City. After Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, he could have followed Cao Cao and used the emperor to command the world. However, he was not famous enough. With the warlord status of the Hu people in the Western Regions, he was rejected by the nobles and nobles of Luoyang, so he seized power with his troops and forced himself to steal the throne.

But unexpectedly, they were betrayed by everyone. As soon as Li Tang's army left Guanzhong, the surrounding prefectures and counties in Luoyang surrendered without fighting. After Li Tang wiped out the surrounding areas of Luoyang, Li Shimin led a large army to besiege Luoyang, hoping to defeat it in one battle, but in the end he failed.

The majestic city of Luoyang City is seen by Li Chongjiu. Further away is the undulating Mangshan Mountain. Under the Luoyang city wall, Yishui flows, and these three rivers gather, Yishui directly connects to the Yellow River, and it is also the starting point of the Thousand Miles of Grand Canal. In the past, when the Great Sui Dynasty built the capital in Luoyang, Shangting Palace and Hualin Garden were built in the east of the city, but after Li Mi and Wang Shichong fought, the palaces were all made of land in the past.

Li Chongjiu stationed his horse on the hillside, and the Yishui River passed by. The Zhao army paved roads and built bridges to cross the Yishui River. The red Zhao army battle flags were everywhere on the Heluo Plain. The Zhao army soldiers were energetic, standing side by side, and the people and horses seemed to be on the tide.

Li Chongjiu was full of thoughts. When he was young, he was wanted by Yin Kaishan and went to Luoyang for thousands of miles. At that time, he was not aware of his penis, but he came to Luoyang to see the atmosphere of the royal capital. Today, Li Chongjiu is an emperor in one dynasty. He came to Luoyang again with a 100,000 army. Thinking of the past, Princess Changle was his beautiful wife, and the dignified King of Qi was his wife and brother-in-law. Li Mi, who was so tall and stunning, talked with him and laughed with him in the past, has never seen him again.

Just like the flowing water is long and time flies, ten years later, today is already a change of things and people.

"Your Majesty, Luoyang has arrived. The Tang army besieged Luoyang City has retreated westward."

"I understand, let's explore again!"

"Your Majesty, our vanguard cavalry has crossed the Luoshui River, under the walls of Luoyang City."

“Station on the spot!”

"Your Majesty, Luoyang Shangchun Gate is closed. Zheng Jun did not move."

Probing horses ahead all the way back.

Hearing that Shangchun Gate of Luoyang was closed, Li Chongjiu frowned slightly, turned to Wang Xuanying, and Du Yan and the others smiled and said, "King Zheng is not a way to treat guests!"

Du Yan smiled awkwardly and said, "Luoyang has just fought fiercely, and the city is broken, so it is hard to wait for His Majesty."

Li Chongjiu smiled when she heard this, without saying anything to worry about it, while Du Yan wiped sweat from his forehead.

Just at Shangchun Gate east of Luoyang City, Wang Shichong looked east of the city, but saw the cavalry in front of the Zhao army galloping along Luo and Yi rivers, with people and horses like dragons. Behind him, the main infantry corps of the Zhao army came out all over the mountains, flags were waving, and soldiers were all dressed in bright clothes and angry horses.

Wang Shichong has been a general for many years and is best at judging his strength from the advance of the army. However, seeing the situation of the Zhao army's marching is the real cold sweat behind him.

Wang Shichong pressed his hand on the battlement and said, "It is said that the elite soldiers of Yan and Zhao are the heroes of the world, and it is true that they see it today. With such a powerful soldier, no wonder Li Chongjiu dared to compete with Li Yuan and his son!"

Duan Da, the general on the side, said: "I thought the Zhao army and the Tang army would compete with each other at Hulao Pass, and both sides would be injured. However, I did not expect that Li Chongjiu would defeat the enemy without fighting, and almost no one soldier was spent. Even if Li Shimin gave up Hulao Pass, such a powerful plan was truly terrible. Your Majesty, the Zhao army must do anything."
