- In the end, the group of people did not discuss the outcome and dispersed, leaving only Li Yuan and his son.
Li Shimin suddenly suggested: "Since there is no one available, why doesn't father lead the army himself?"
Li Yuan was stunned.
Li Shimin continued: "Now Guanzhong is surrounded by wolves, and people's hearts are unstable. I don't know how many people are preparing to use our father and son's heads to go to Western Qin and Hebei to change their future. At this time, it is safest only to hold military power in our own hands. Father I can guarantee that once the army reaches the city, the Dou family will not surrender."
"Presumptuous!"
Li Yuan subconsciously reprimanded Li Shimin, but Li Shimin didn't care. He knew his father's thoughts, so he continued: "If the foreign war is defeated, once the enemy troops come to Chang'an, my father will not be able to escape even if he wants to. But if my father leads the army, Outside, even if something unexpected happens, we can respond as quickly as possible. If it really doesn¡¯t work, there is no place for my father and my son to go except in the vast world.¡± #117fang.com 牺如
It has to be said that Li Shimin¡¯s words attracted great attention from Li Yuan.
At this time, Li Yuan had just settled in Guanzhong. For more than half a year, he had been faltering and trembling, but he had not lost the courage and vigor in his heart. If it were the Li Yuan who had nine years of military virtue in history, he would never listen to Li Shimin's advice.
At this time, Li Yuan slapped the table and said: "Okay, let me, father and son, fight Huang Mingyuan in Tongzhou. If we win this battle, I, Li Tang, will be firmly in Guanzhong. Twenty years later, there will be another Northern Zhou Dynasty." , It is also unknown to annex the Central Plains from the east. If we lose this battle, both my father and son will die together. I will never let Huang Mingyuan underestimate my Li family. "
Li Shimin hurriedly said: "The father can go to this battle, but the son cannot go."
Li Yuan was stunned and asked why.
Li Shimin said: "My son wants to go to Qizhou."
Li Yuan immediately understood the second son's intention, so he asked: "Do you still want to attack Hanzhong?"
Li Shimin nodded.
"Father, Bashu is naturally dangerous. Once we enter the middle of Sichuan, we will have a chance to breathe. Don't worry about victory, but worry about defeat first, and find a way out early. If we take Bashu, even if our Li family loses Guanzhong, we can still take it eastward. Jingxiang, Longyou in the north, and Hebei and Li Mi divide the world."
Li Yuan didn't speak either, lowering his head and thinking a little.
To be honest, although he agreed to lead the troops in person, he was not very sure of defeating the Sui army.
Some things can¡¯t be done with determination.
Taking Bashu from the south is a retreat, and it is also the best retreat.
"It's just." Li Yuan said with some doubts, "If we take Bashu from the south, we will have to divide our troops again. I'm afraid we won't have enough troops."
Although Li Tang had forcibly recruited 80,000 troops, they were all new recruits. There were everyone among them and they had no fighting capacity at all. This time we have to rely on veterans to resist foreign enemies.
But Qianshuiyuan lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and Yongfengcang City lost tens of thousands of soldiers. In addition, he had to take a lot of troops with him for the expedition, so there was no army left for Li Shimin to attack Hanzhong.
It should be noted that Liang Mo of Hechi County was also a famous general. Once Li Shimin reached a stalemate with the Sui army at Sanguan, Li Tang would not only be unable to take control of Hanzhong, but would also lose his troops on the way.
Li Yuan, you don¡¯t dare to gamble.
Li Shimin then said: "My son only needs 20,000 new troops for this battle, as auxiliary troops, and then he will lead the Pingdao army in Qizhou southward."
Li Yuan was shocked. The Pingdao Army, plus Li Shimin's headquarters, only numbered more than 10,000 people. As for Hanzhong, in addition to relying on natural dangers, the Sui army must have at least more than 20,000 people. It is unimaginable to attack Hanzhong with this small force.
Seeing his son's face resolute, Li Yuan did not express the doubt he wanted to say, but asked: "How confident are you in this battle?" ãá reduce .c o*m ãá
Li Shimin looked at his father and uttered six words.
"If you don't succeed, you will succeed!"
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
On July 12, Li Yuan left seven people, including Shangshu Zuopushe Pei Ji, clan brother Li Xiaoji, Internal History Ling Xiao Yu, Minister of Rites Li Gang, clan brother Li Youliang, son-in-law Zhao Cijing, minister of war, and warrior Xun of Huangmen, to lead the army. Aid Tongzhou from the east.
For this expedition, Li Yuan made sufficient preparations.
The seven people left behind are all confidants, and none of them are from the Guanlong clan. As for the military power in Chang'an, it was also in the hands of the clan brothers Li Xiaoji, Li Youliang and son-in-law Zhao Cijing.
As for the unstable factors in Chang'an, the Emperor Yining, Dou Wei, the internal historian, Xiao Zao, the minister of punishment, Dou Jing, the minister of household, and others were all transferred into the army by Li Yuan and took him with him.
In order to defeat the Sui army, Li Yuan used all his wealth this time.
First, he sent his nephew Li Chen to lead an army of five thousand to garrison Huayin to block the Sui army's westward advance. He also ordered his nephew Li Yao to guard Lantian instead of Li Xiaoji. At the same time, he transferred all the main forces of Li Xiaoji to Chang'an, leaving only 5,000 troops to garrison Lantian County.
He also transferred Feng Shaoshi, who was located in Pucheng, to cross the Luoshui River and first support Tongzhou.
Now that the north of Tongzhou is lost, there is no need to worry that Huang Mingzheng will attack Tongzhou from Pucheng.
He also ordered Yang Tun, the commander-in-chief of the Wei Army, to go south and garrison in Guanzhong. Now that Xue Ju is dead, the pressure in the northwest has diminished. Dou Kang was able to take a breather while guarding Binzhou City. The current transfer of Yang Tun southward not only enriched Chang'an's military strength, but also reduced Dou Kang's strength.
He also transferred the cavalry officer and army general Sun Shunde to go south to Qizhou and put it under the command of Li Shimin.
Although Li Shimin sounded heroic, Li Yuan also knew that it would not be easy to conquer Hanzhong, and he could not deceive his son like this. Changsun Shunde was Li Shimin's old subordinate, and the two had a very good relationship. Li Shimin was able to use him easily when he was transferred to him.
As for what Dou Kang would think about transferring the Zhewei Army and the Cavalry Army from Dou Kang's hands, Li Yuan couldn't care less.
Anyway, he didn¡¯t let Dou Kang drive the Western Qin army out of Jingzhou.
I heard that Dou Gui also fled back to Binzhou. Dou Kang still had 30,000 to 40,000 troops, enough to defend Binzhou city. At this critical moment, allowing Dou Kang to have too many soldiers and horses in his hands would be bad for both the Li family and Dou Kang.
After arranging troops and horses everywhere, Li Yuancai personally led an army of hundreds of thousands to attack.
"It is said that there are more than 100,000 troops, which are all bluffing troops.
Among the more than 100,000 troops sent out for the expedition, there were 60,000 new troops alone. Li Shimin selected only 20,000 useful soldiers from among them, and the rest were old, weak, sick and disabled.
And the remaining veterans only had more than 20,000 yuan from the Forbidden Army and less than 40,000 from Wang Zhou's Drumming and Flag Army. This was the total force that Li Yuan could use.
The more than 100,000-yuan imperial army established by Li Yuan was all developed with soldiers from Taiyuan as its backbone. However, in the past two years, Li Jiancheng took some people away in his eastern expedition to Tongguan. When Li Shimin supported Jingzhou, Chai Shao and Tang Jian took away more than 10,000 people. When Dou Kang supported Binzhou, Li Shuliang took away more than 6,000 people, plus those who stayed in Chang'an. There are only a few thousand people left, and only about 20,000 people are left.
With 40,000 veterans and 60,000 new troops, facing 78,000 elite Hebei troops, this battle has no chance of winning. Mi He Mi
On the day of Li Yuan's expedition, although he tried his best to whitewash the peace and keep the people of Chang'an confident, in July, the wind was blowing, and there was a sense of sadness, which really made people feel chilly
