Chapter 1625 Battle of Yuci

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The direct reason why Li Yuan was so eager to rebel was because of Huang Mingyuan.

    Li Yuan was originally only a middle-class figure in the Guanlong family, and because his father died early, although Li Hu's legacy was still there, he himself did not have much influence until he began to take control of the military.  Since Li Yuan served as the ambassador of comfort to Hedong, Shanxi, he has become the only person in the Guanlong family to control both military power and territory. Therefore, he has attracted much attention within the Guanlong family.

    The top forces of the Guanlong family also set their sights on Li Yuan.

    Later, Li Yuan defeated Wu Duan'er, and Yang Guang appointed Li Yuan as General You Xiaowei. Li Yuan's status further improved.  Many people were also optimistic about Li Yuan, so they secretly invested in Li Yuan.

    Since the emperor¡¯s southern tour, although many people have encouraged Li Yuan to take the opportunity to rebel, Li Yuan is not a fool.  He is very aware of his own strength. Although he is ambitious, he will not act rashly. Otherwise, if the army is defeated, the family will be destroyed and it will be inevitable.

    Especially in Hebei, Huang Mingyuan has hundreds of thousands of troops and is very powerful.  If Huang Mingyuan turned around and headed west, he would be unable to stop him.

    So despite all the instigation from the Guanlong family, Li Yuan sat firmly on Diaoyutai.

    But after June this year, Huang Mingyuan led his main force southward and swept across Hebei, finally shocking everyone in the Guanlong family, and Li Yuan could no longer sit still.

    ??If we wait any longer, Huang Mingyuan will become a powerful force and no one can stop it.

    Li Yuan's heart suddenly stirred up, and he had an idea in his mind, but he had not yet fully grasped the military power of Taiyuan, so he did not dare to act rashly.

    In early July, the bandit Zhen Zhaier, who entered Hedong from Hebei, invaded Taiyuan with more than 100,000 troops.

    Since the death of Wang Xuba, Zhen Zhai established himself as King of Yan and parted ways with Wei Daoer.  Because he was afraid of the Sui army in Hebei, especially Huang Mingyuan, he led his troops across the Taihang Mountains and entered Hedong.

    There are not many bandits in Hedong, and there are no established rebels. The defense against bandits in various places is weak.

    So after Zhen Zhai'er entered Hedong, he was like a fish in water, conquering many counties and counties in Hedong and approaching Jinyang City.

    At this time, Li Yuan, who was in Jinyang, and Pan Changwen, led 40,000 troops to defend against the enemy.

    Although Pan Changwen was subordinate to Li Yuan, he was very dissatisfied with Li Yuan and competed with him everywhere.  And Li Yuan also disliked Pan Changwen very much. The other party relied on their large number of troops and humiliated him many times.  What's more, Pan Changwen colluded with Wang Wei, and his power was not weaker than his. If Pan Changwen was not eliminated, he would not even be able to monopolize Taiyuan County.

    At this time, the two sides met. Li Yuan and Pan Changwen led the cavalry forward, but the rear infantry had not yet arrived.

    Seeing that the morale of the bandits on the opposite side was high and they couldn't see the end, Li Yuan deliberately said: "There are many bandits, why don't we wait until we retreat to Yuci City and then worry about it."

    After hearing this, Pan Changwen said with some disdain: "This is how General Li fights. Can't you see that our army cannot retreat at all? Yuci is more than ten miles away from Jinyang. If we retreat to Yuci, Jinyang will also be invaded by bandits."  , how can I look forward to meeting the elders of Hedong when the time comes?"

    Li Yuan was not upset, and just said: "The thieves' army is powerful, and our army may be unbeatable. General Pan must not be rash!"

    Pan Changwen became even more dissatisfied after hearing what Li Yuan said, and said: "General Li is scared out of his wits by mere thieves. Since General Li does not dare to fight, let's see if I can defeat the thieves."

    "General Pan, I'm afraid you are no match for the enemy!"

    "Then you watch me kill the enemy!"

    So Pan Changwen led more than a thousand cavalry forward, but Li Yuan could not stop him.

    Seeing Pan Changwen come out lightly, Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.  This Pan Changwen had always competed with him, and he was proud of his bravery, so no one took him seriously.  Today he lowered his stance, and as expected he made the other party angry and attack.

    Pan Changwen had more than a thousand cavalry in his hands and rushed straight into the rebel formation.

    Zhen Zhai'er's army of more than 100,000 people, although a considerable part of it is ordinary people who are under threat, but they come from Shanggu, the area is rich in elite soldiers, and they also have a trustworthy army under their command.

    So Zhen Zhaier personally led the army to attack and fought with Pan Changwen.

    Although Pan Changwen was brave, his troops were small and he was quickly surrounded by Zhen Zhai'er's troops.  Pan Changwen led his troops to break out of the encirclement. The further they broke out, the more bandits they encountered.

    Pan Changwen had no choice but to ask for help from the Chinese army, but Li Yuan watched Pan Changwen being surrounded and refused to move.

    At this time, someone advised Li Yuan: "General Pan is surrounded by thieves. Do you want to step forward to rescue him?"

    Li Yuan smiled and said: "Our infantry is not here. How can we defeat the thieves and rescue them with only two or three thousand cavalry? Moreover, General Pan is so brave that he is not comparable to the thieves. I predict that he will be able to break out of the siege."

    When everyone thought of Pan Changwen's bold words before and saw Li Yuan's smile, they all felt chilled in their hearts, and no one dared to speak out.

    Pan Changwen was trapped among thieves, and suddenly came from left and right.None of them could get out, and they gradually became exhausted.

    Seeing that Li Yuan did not send troops to rescue, Pan Changwen could not help but curse Li Yuan for being ruthless and unjust, but he could only use his words quickly.

    Everyone fought until dusk, and Pan Changwen's entire army was wiped out.

    Li Yuan led his troops back to Yuci.

    After killing Pan Changwen, Li Yuan immediately annexed Pan Changwen's team.  At this time, Wang Weishang stayed in Taiyuan, and no one else could stop him.

    After annexing the Pan tribe, Li Yuan already controlled more than two-thirds of the entire Taiyuan army.

    At this time, Zhen Zhai'er led his troops to arrive again, and Li Yuan fought with him.

    Although Zhen Zhai'er has a large number of people, the core force consists of more than 20,000 people, all of whom are fierce bandits with many years of experience.  The two sides formed a formation more than ten miles west of Yuci. Zhen Zhai'er formed a formation more than ten miles away, with the strong in front and weak in the back, one after another.

    Li Yuan is different from this.

    Li Yuan organized the main force under his command into two formations: with the weak soldiers in the center, multiple flags, and all the baggage behind them, it was the large formation; he led more than a thousand elite cavalry to the left and right, which was the small formation.  He also abandoned some heavy supplies to lure the thieves into their trap.

    When the two sides fought, Li Yuan ordered General Gao Junya to lead a large formation to advance and attack.

    At this time, Zhen Zhai'er climbed up and looked far away, thinking that Gao Junya's troops were Li Yuan's main force, so he led the elite of the army to fight.

    According to Li Yuan's arrangement, Gao Junya pretended to be defeated and retreated shortly after the battle, abandoning a large amount of food, property and other items along the way.

    Zhen Zhai'er led his troops to attack. The thieves and bandits under his command saw that the army's baggage was everywhere, and all kinds of property were everywhere. They didn't care about chasing the Sui army, and they all dismounted to plunder the treasures.

    In the midst of the fight, who still remembers that this is a battlefield?

    Zhen Zhai'er ordered people to supervise various ministries, but they couldn't restrain them at all.

    At this time, Li Yuan saw that Zhen Zhai'er's main force was in chaos, and immediately led the cavalry from the left and right teams to suddenly attack Zhen Zhai'er's central army.  At the same time, Gao Junya also changed direction and rushed towards the bandit army.

    The bandits had already started looting, but when faced with the sudden attack of the Sui army, they were caught off guard and retreated immediately.

    The bandits in the thief army are indeed brave sometimes, but once they are at a disadvantage, they often cannot last long.

    Zhen Zhai'er could not be restrained and died in the rebellion.  Li Yuannai took advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy and defeated the bandits.  There were many cavalrymen in Zhen Zhai'er's army who were good at fighting, and Li Yuan collected them all.

    In the battle of Yuci, Li Yuan defended Taiyuan and won the hearts of the people.  He also got rid of Pan Changwen and seized military power.  So far in Taiyuan County, no one can resist him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
