Entering November, it is bitterly cold in the north.
The weather is getting colder and colder.
And the army led by Li Shimin has entered Guazhou at this time. However, the weather in Guazhou this year is relatively cold. It has already snowed in November. Although it has not yet reached the point of heavy snow, the weather is already bitterly cold.
In the city of Guazhou.
Li Shimin's army is temporarily stationed.
In the big tent of the Chinese army.
Li Shimin sat at the main seat, and below him were Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Li Jing and others. He looked at the people under his command and said in a deep voice: "It's snowing now, and the weather is bitterly cold. Although the soldiers are dressed thickly, the weather is cold and not conducive to combat. Do you think it is suitable to send troops now?"
In fact, Li Shimin was a little helpless when he sent troops at this time.
Because the weather is not suitable.
It is most suitable if it is two months earlier. However, when the envoys he sent out contacted Tubo, Goguryeo, Silla, and the Turkic people on the grassland, they were delayed for a long time, so that Li Shimin only arrived in Guazhou in November.
On the Tubo side, they still didn't listen to Li Shimin's words.
The reason is very simple. Quci Zharen was in Xia Kingdom and knew the strength of Xia Kingdom. Therefore, under Quci Zharen's news, Gongga could not play for Datang anyway, even under the advice of Datang envoys. , Gongga forcefully expelled the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, and threatened that if the Tang Dynasty attacked, Tubo would no longer maintain neutrality and directly submit to Du Qi.
After Li Shimin got the news, he finally ignored Tubo. The reason is very simple. If Li Shimin wants to attack Tubo, it will take a certain amount of time. Now is an excellent opportunity to attack Du Qi, so Li Shimin chose to ignore Tubo.
Fortunately, with Silla, Baekje, and some Turkic troops, there are still a full 50,000 troops.
Count Li Shimin's 250,000 troops.
A full 300,000 troops.
All troops are subject to Li Shimin's dispatch.
In fact, Li Shimin was very dissatisfied with this force. According to Li Shimin's plan, to say the least, it is necessary to gather more than 400,000 troops, or even more than 500,000 troops. It's just that the government soldiers are recruited, and there are not many troops, and there are few troops in Goguryeo.
In the end, there were only 300,000 people.
Although the current situation did not meet the expectations in his heart, Li Shimin reluctantly accepted it.
Li Jing said seriously: "Your Majesty, in fact, we have no choice at the moment. If we don't send troops, it will be difficult for us to attack Du Qi again after Du Qi has completely pacified the countries in the south of Tianzhu, because Du Qi can transfer his troops back to deal with it. So at the moment, Even in the cold winter, we must attack. Fortunately, our army is equipped with pottery gunpowder. With the help of catapults, shooting clay pots to the towers is enough to destroy the defenses of various places. So at the moment, I think it is still necessary to send troops. "
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."
Wei Zhengdao: "The minister also seconded the proposal."
All the civil servants and generals nodded their heads in unison. At the moment, everyone holds the same opinion.
When Li Shimin saw the attitude of the crowd, he nodded and said: "Since everyone holds the same opinion, we don't have to consider the climate factor at the moment. We arrived in Guazhou City yesterday, and we will rest for another day today and leave tomorrow. Go straight to Guazhou, go straight to Rouyuan County."
Everyone agreed in unison.
Li Shimin waved his hand, and everyone stepped back to get busy.
However, Li Shimin sat alone in the tent, thinking about the next direction in his heart. Because at the moment, Datang is already going all out, and there is no way out. Right now, he can only win with one effort, and has no other choice.
Huh! !
The curtain of the camp tent was raised.
Immediately, a gust of cold air invaded.
Fortunately, there was anthracite burning in the tent, which dispelled the chill, and Li Shimin didn't feel cold at all. Li Shimin looked up, and it was the grandson Wuji who entered again. He said, "Wuji, you just went out and came back, but what's the matter?"
Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the reason why I entered is because I just received the news. Our bad people lurking in Rouyuan County are already prepared."
"Once we attack Rouyuan County, they will rise up in the city to support us. At that time, with the support of bad people, it will be easy for us to invade Rouyuan County."
"In today's Rouyuan County, there is an army stationed, led by Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi under Du Qi's command. As long as we break through Rouyuan County, then Ma Yuan and Xiao Yuanqi will not be enough For fear."
Changsun Wuji said: "When Du Qi sent troops to the south,??Regardless of everything, we must disregard the bottom line. So at the moment, such a strategy cannot be adopted. The strategy of assassination cannot be adopted. "
Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, you can't be so pedantic! As long as Du Qi can be eliminated, it will be a good deal for my Tang Dynasty, but if Du Qi is not defeated, the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Shimin said: "Auxiliary machine, everything can be done and not done. At the moment, we still can't adopt the strategy of assassination. We assassinate the officials under Du Qi's command, that's all, there is nothing to say. However, once Du Qi's It is inappropriate for people to take revenge, resulting in the assassination of our people, the killing of countless officials, and even affecting ordinary people. The final bottom line is to persist."
Changsun Wuji sighed.
He thinks Li Shimin is a little pedantic.
It has already been adopted to unite with Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and the Turkic tribes who surrendered on the grassland. Take extreme measures to deal with it.
Changsun Wuji said: "Since His Majesty has made a decision, I will leave."
"Go down!"
Li Shimin waved his hand, and Changsun Wuji withdrew.
Sitting alone in the tent, Li Shimin sighed. In fact, he really wanted to agree with Changsun Wuji's strategy in his heart, but in the end, Li Shimin suppressed this idea.
Because there are some precedents, it cannot be opened.
Some bottom lines cannot be broken.
The army under Li Shimin rested in place for a day. In the early morning of the next day, Li Shimin led the army and marched quickly to Rouyuan County on the border of Yizhou.
Today's Guazhou border has actually been blocked, and most of the commercial exchanges have stopped. After all, Guazhou is connected to Xiaguo and Datang in the Western Regions. As soon as Guazhou was blocked, commercial exchanges were immediately cut off.
Even so, the news of Li Shimin's dispatch of troops spread quickly.
It spread to Rouyuan County.
In Rouyuan County, apart from the 10,000 people left by Xiao Yuanqi who were stationed there, there were also some local soldiers. This is the force in charge of defense in Rouyuan County. But today's Rouyuan County has far more troops than these, and the army led by Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan are all stationed in the city.
When the two men led the army to come, there was a change in Datang. Especially when Guazhou was blocked, the two had already arrived with their troops. The two people's initial plan was to stay outside the city and hide, waiting to catch Li Shimin by surprise. It was only later that I learned that Datang's military strength was nearly 300,000, and it was not easy to ambush with such a large military strength.
Moreover, the strength of the two men was nearly 100,000, and it was not easy to hide their whereabouts. Therefore, after discussing with each other, the two finally decided on a strategy of using defense instead of offense, which was to use the city of Rouyuan County to garrison and consume Li Shimin's strength.
This is the strategy set by the two of them.
However, Li Shimin set off from Guazhou to Rouyuan County to kill him. As soon as the news reached Xiao Yuanqi in the city, Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan immediately discussed countermeasures together.
It's just that when the two were discussing, some soldiers came in and reported that Pei Changqing, the magistrate of Rouyuan County, asked to see him. Xiao Yuanqi and Ma Yuan looked at each other, and immediately Xiao Yuanqi ordered: "Please!"
The soldiers went to inform, and after a while, Pei Changqing entered. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
