Chapter 371 Based on Yingzhou
The gate of Yingzhou opened, and a group of men and horses came out of the city.
The leading general held a Fangtian painted halberd and wore bright silver armor. The white robe behind him was still conspicuous. He was Xue Rengui.
"Whoever is coming, please tell me your name!"
Xue Rengui roared and was about to fight with Fang Tian's painted halberd.
"Rengui, don't you recognize me?"
Li Zhen slowly walked to the front of the formation. Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment and rubbed his eyes. Finally, he was finally sure that it was Li Zhen who came.
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
¡°Brothers, let¡¯s wait until His Highness the Crown Prince!¡± Xue Rengui shouted.
The soldiers behind him burst into joy upon hearing this.
Xue Rengui hung Fang Tian¡¯s painted halberd on his horse, and the Pegasus came to Li Zhen. He rolled off the saddle, knelt in front of Li Zhen and said: "Your Highness, Rengui has finally expected you to come!"
After saying this, Xue Rengui burst into tears.
Li Zhen could tell that Xue Rengui showed his true feelings. He had followed her for several years, through life and death, and the relationship between them was indeed very deep.
"Your Highness!"
In the distance, Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu, Wang Xinhe, Wang Xinxi, Li Qingxian, Jiang Xingba, Zhou Wen, Zhou Wu, as well as Cheng Chuli and Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalrymen all came to Li Zhen and all dismounted to bow to Li Zhen.
Seeing all these former subordinates here, Li Zhen laughed heartily.
¡°These people are all my original team members, and I have shared hardships with them, and now, they are finally together again.
At the moment, Li Zhen led Xue Rengui and others into Yingzhou City. Xue Rengui immediately held a banquet and everyone was very happy to meet again after a long absence.
Li Zhen asked Xue Rengui about the situation in Yingzhou, and Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness, there used to be ten thousand soldiers in Yingzhou, which I commanded. Later, during the Li Zhi Rebellion, Chang'an was in a hurry. I wanted to lead the troops to Chang'an, but I just left. , Li Zhi's rebellion has been put down."
"Later, the Tubo people invaded Chang'an, and the changes were too rapid. The general thought, His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely break out of the siege, and I must defend this camp for His Highness the Crown Prince."
"During this period, the Xi people, the Khitans, and the Mohe people came from time to time. I fought with them for several months. Although the pressure was great, I finally managed to defend Yingzhou. In the past few months, I recruited again Ten thousand soldiers are training day and night in order to protect the foundation of this camp for the prince. Today, Rengui finally got his wish to see the prince."
At this time, Cheng Chuli also said: "Your Highness, I originally guarded Youzhou, but the Xi people were so powerful that I couldn't resist it, so I had to retreat to Yingzhou. Fortunately, I still have three thousand elite soldiers from the original Qianniu Guards under my command, which can be regarded as a defense. His Highness and Datang have managed to retain a little bit of vitality."
Li Zhen nodded and ordered an army of 200,000 to attack Youzhou, but Youzhou only had a few thousand soldiers. Except for these 3,000 Qianniu Guards, the rest were mostly temporarily recruited soldiers. In this case, Cheng Chuli was able to survive It is indeed not easy to get these three thousand elite Qianniu Guard soldiers and bring them to Yingzhou.
Cheng Chuli has tried his best. Instead of accusing him of losing Youzhou, he should be rewarded.
At that moment, Li Zhen said: "The world is in chaos now, with alien races causing trouble and warlords separatist rule. We are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. We should follow the example of the late emperor, wipe out the Liuhe, pacify the world, and restore peace and prosperity to the people."
"We are willing to follow His Highness and help the Tang Dynasty!"
Everyone bowed down to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen accepted the bows from everyone and said, "With the help of loyal ministers and good generals like you, our Tang Dynasty will be able to revive!"
After being tense for so long, I could finally relax. Li Zhen and everyone got drunk until late at night, and the banquet slowly dispersed.
Some time later, Li Zhen began to examine the current Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in chaos, very similar to the situation at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty. Heroes rose up together and millions of foreigners invaded. All of this was just the result of Li Shimin's distrust of Li Zhen and the heavy use of Li Zhi.
However, the big mistake has been made and Li Shimin has passed away. All Li Zhen can do is to put this broken country back together.
This difficulty is even greater than building a new dynasty.
Because when Li Yuan and Li Shimin founded the Tang Dynasty, the external East Turks did not make any moves, and none of the foreign ethnic groups entered the mainland.
But now, the Western Turks, Tubo, Xi, Khitan, Mohe, Huihe, and even the ethnic minorities in Bozhou have all risen up to divide the Tang Dynasty. People have even rebelled in Lingnan Road, a barbaric land. It is a real internal and external trouble.
Now the only area that Li Zhen can control is Yingzhou. Liu Rengui in the three Korean areas of the peninsula has tens of thousands of troops. I don't know what his attitude is towards him. If even Liu Rengui has different aspirations, the situation will be even more dangerous.
Li Zhen has conveyed the news of her coming to Yingzhou to Liu Rengui in Pyongyang. It would be best if Liu Rengui surrenders to her. If Liu Rengui wants to stand on his own feet or raises an army to rebel, he can only fight with him.
At this time, the entire Yingzhou was ready for war, but Liu Rengui had 30,000 elite soldiers, while Xue Rengui under Li Zhen only had 10,000 government soldiers, plus 10,000 new recruits, these recruits could only wave the flag and shout. That's all, if there is a real fight, I'm afraid it will be useless, and among the 10,000 soldiers, only 5,000 Mo Dao soldiers are elite soldiers. Even if Cheng Chuli's 3,000 Qianniu guards are included, there are only 8,000 elite soldiers.
??In a real fight, Liu Rengui would have a greater chance of winning.
However, Li Zhen had no choice. If she wanted to gain a foothold in Yingzhou, she must first occupy the three Koreas. Otherwise, she would be surrounded by enemies on all sides. After winning the Korean Peninsula, she would have a stable rear base, and she would be able to There is room for construction and development, and to increase strength, as long as you give yourself time, you will definitely unify the Tang Dynasty again!
Li Zhen wrote very clearly in the letter that he only gave Liu Rengui one month. If Liu Rengui did nothing within a month and did not come to Yingzhou to see him, he would lead his troops into the peninsula.
In fact, Li Zhen had already calculated the time. After Liu Rengui received the letter, if he did not betray, he would definitely be able to reach Yingzhou to see him within ten days.
If Liu Rengui does not arrive within ten days, then Li Zhen will unexpectedly invade the three Koreas and catch Liu Rengui by surprise. If so, a battle on the peninsula can be determined!
Li Zhen was preparing for war while waiting anxiously.
Under the current circumstances, everyone is self-reliant, and Li Zhen really can¡¯t guarantee whether Liu Rengui has any ambition.
Time passed day by day, 5,000 Mo sword soldiers and 3,000 Qianniu guards had gathered, and Li Zhen was ready for a surprise attack.
Liu Rengui is a famous general, and Li Zhen is not sure of victory. Only by surprise can he win.
In the blink of an eye, the seventh day has passed, and there are still three days before Li Zhen launches a surprise attack. Everyone is getting nervous (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
