- After Li Yuan killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya, he recruited troops in Taiyuan County for two decades and obtained tens of thousands of troops. He also completed preparations for rebellion and finally decided to raise the flag.
On November 5, Li Yuan set up an uprising hall (also known as the imperial hall) in Jinyang City and divided the army into three armies, collectively called "righteous men". Pei Ji and others respectfully called Li Yuan "General".
On the 11th, Li Yuan built the General's Palace in Jinyang City and called himself Tang Gong. He made his eldest son Li Jian the Duke of Longxi and the Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army, commanding the Left Army; and his second son Li Shimin was the Duke of Dunhuang and the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Army, commanding the Right Army. The fourth son Li Yuanji was appointed as Gu Zanggong and commanded the central army. Pei Ji is the chief of the general's office, Liu Wenjing is the Sima, Yin Kaishan is the governor, Liu Zhenghui is the subordinate, and Changsun Shunde, Wang Changxie, Jiang Baoyi, Yang Tun, Liu Hongji, and Dou Cong are the left and right commanders and deputy commanders.
At this point, Li Yuan completely sounded the clarion call for rebellion.
However, Li Yuan was worried when he heard that Huang Mingyuan had led an army to conquer Liu Wuzhou's rebellion. He knew that there was not much time left for him, and he must move westward to Guanzhong as soon as possible.
On November 15th, Li Yuan erected a flag in front of the military gate on Qianyangmen Street in the east of Jinyang Palace and swore an oath. In the oath, he listed all the crimes of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty and declared that he would "rejuvenate Jinyang and honor the emperor." Di, sweep Ding Xianluo, Jining Yu County." He also appointed his fourth son, Li Yuanji, as the general of Zhenbei and the governor of Taiyuan County, and asked him to stay in Jinyang City. He also appointed Dou Kang's third son, Dou Dan, Liu Zhenghui, the general's subordinate, Shi Yuwenxin, the chief of the Zhenbei general, and others to stay in Jinyang City. Positive.
Jinyang has a strong city and abundant grain reserves. Li Yuan left 20,000 troops and organized more than 10,000 young and strong men to guard, just to buy more time for him to go south.
In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he even left his thirteen-year-old son Li Yuanji in Jinyang City.
But these people are all expendables. It would be best if we can hold Jinyang City. If we can't hold it, we have no choice but to buy as much time as possible.
On the 16th, Li Yuan personally led his eldest son Li Jiancheng, second son Li Shimin and 40,000 soldiers from Taiyuan County to the south, aiming directly at Guanzhong.
The Tang army advanced rapidly. They raised troops on the 16th and captured Xihe County on the 21st. The county's judicial secretary Zhu Zhijin and others surrendered, and the Tang army captured Xihe County's Prime Minister Gao Deru. Gao Deru refused to surrender and was ordered to be killed by Li Yuan.
On the 25th, the Tang army arrived at Jiahu Fort, more than fifty miles away from Huoyi. Here, they met their first obstacle, General Song Laosheng of the Sui Dynasty Hu Yalang.
Huoyi is the southern end of Queshu Valley, with difficult terrain.
Song Laosheng stationed six thousand troops to guard this place and defend it according to danger.
By this time, winter had arrived, and on the 28th, the first heavy snowfall of this winter finally fell. The cold wind howled and snowflakes flew.
The Tang army braved heavy snow and rushed along the path to the foot of Huoyi City.
The Tang army called for formation, and Song Laosheng was not a fool. In this case, as long as he defended Huoyi, the Tang army would inevitably have to retreat due to the severe cold, so there was no need to fight.
Therefore, Mr. Song¡¯s men could not escape.
Li Yuan ordered Liu Hongji to challenge him, but before he reached the city, he was forced to retreat by a hail of arrows. Liu Hongji had to retreat in embarrassment. But Liu Hongji also had a way. He found more than a dozen loud voices in the army and shouted and cursed at the top of Huoyi City. They used all kinds of obscene words and made the defenders angry.
However, Song Laosheng saw that this was a ploy to lure the enemy, and even though the Tang army scolded him, he ignored it.
Tang Jun cursed for a day, his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, and he got nothing.
Seeing that he could not lure the opponent out, Li Yuannai ordered a strong attack. But the effect was unexpected. With such heavy snow, the city walls were completely frozen, making it impossible for the soldiers to climb over. They attacked the city for several days, but suffered heavy losses.
Rebellion, a drum, declined again, and exhausted three. At the beginning, everyone was high-spirited and looked forward to the success of the rebellion, promotion of official positions, and titles of wives and children. But now the progress is not going well, and many people's enthusiasm has faded and they have begun to fear.
Many people think about it carefully and think that this rebellion is a bit unreliable. Moreover, from Taiyuan to Guanzhong, hundreds of miles of land, dozens of counties, and more than 100,000 troops could be fought so easily.
At this time, many people wanted to retreat. Instead of entering the pass without much hope, it was better to retreat to Taiyuan and rely on the strong city to hold on. At least there was a way out.
So someone came to see Li Yuan and asked to retreat.
At first, there were only one or two, but later, many generals came in groups and begged Li Yuan to return to Taiyuan and not to attack the city in the heavy snow.
The morale of the army was unstable. Seeing that the generals were trying to dissuade him, Li Yuan had no choice but to decide that if he could not capture Huoyi in three days, he would lead his army to retreat.
Li Shimin was shocked when he heard the news.
There is no turning back when you open your bow. Only by entering Guanzhong, relying on the huge resources of Guanzhong, can you win the world. Now when you return to Taiyuan, you will be surrounded by Sui troops on all sides, which means you will die.??One item.
¡°However, Li Shimin did not have much say in the military.
Li Shimin¡¯s current identity is only Li Yuan¡¯s second son. Although he is the commander-in-chief of the right army, he is young, has little experience, and did not participate in the Jinyang Uprising. Therefore, his identity and status are not high, and he is an empty commander in the army. In fact, among the three armies set up by Li Yuan, the middle army stayed in Jinyang, the left army was in the hands of Li Jiancheng, and the right army was directly under Li Yuan's control.
In this life, Li Shimin¡¯s status is far different from that of his brother Li Jiancheng.
However, Li Shimin still came to the army to see his father Li Yuan, because this was not just his father's business.
"Father, we can't withdraw, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."
"Compared to the immature Li Shimin, Li Yuan is much older. Of course he knows that he cannot retreat, and he has never thought about retreating. Beyond Huoyi, there is the vast land east of Hedong, and even the fertile wilderness of Guanzhong. Are you going to return to Taiyuan and fight with Huang Mingyuan?
"I know I can't quit, so you have to act in a play with me."
Li Yuan has already made a plan, no matter what, he wants to calm people's hearts. Li Shimin was overjoyed to hear his father's instructions, so he acted accordingly.
Li Shimin suddenly shouted loudly in Li Yuan's tent: "Please don't return to Taiyuan, father." The sound of the voice was heard outside the tent.
"Treason, I have decided on this matter and will withdraw my troops immediately. You don't need to persuade me anymore."
Li Shimin knelt down and hugged Li Yuan's thigh and said: "Father, since we are committed to righteousness to save the common people, we must first go to Chang'an and order the world to correct our status. If we encounter a small enemy and become a teacher, we may be afraid that the righteous disciples will be disintegrated in one day." , people's hearts are devastated. If you still defend a city in Taiyuan, you are a thief. How can you protect yourself? You will be a prisoner by then."
"Asshole!"
Li Yuan kicked Li Shimin down and drove him out of the tent.
At this time, Li Shimin cried loudly outside the tent and said: "Today's troops are moving out of righteousness. If they advance to fight, they will be defeated, and if they retreat, they will be scattered. If the people are scattered in front, and the enemy is behind, our army will be defeated in just a moment. .¡±
Li Shimin's cries of pain finally attracted a group of knowledgeable people to admonish Li Yuan. Li Yuan also borrowed the donkey from the slope and agreed not to retreat. In order to show his resolute attitude, he killed the horse and swore that he would never break the pass without breaking through. retreat.
