Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the armies of the Sui and Tang Dynasties were in a stalemate at Tongguan, General Liang Mo, the Zuoyuwei general who had been in Fufeng, also led his army to break through.

    Chang'an fell rapidly. In addition to various factors, the absence of the main force of Liang Mo's left imperial guard in Chang'an was also an important reason.

    At the end of the eighth year of Daye, Fufeng people Tang Bi, Li Hongzhi and others rebelled in Qianyuan. In the twelfth year of Daye, Tang Bi supported Li Hongzhi as emperor and wreaked havoc in Fufeng.

    The Sui army conquered Li Hongzhi several times, but all failed, and the rebellion was getting worse.

    When Liang Mo, who had been responsible for guarding Guanzhong, saw this, he personally led his army to conquer.

    At this time, Xue Ju, who was rebelling in Jincheng, also sent his eldest son Xue Rengao to attack Guanzhong. Tang Bi in Liyuan was attacked from both sides and could not resist.  At this time, Xue Ju sent an envoy to tell Tang Bi to surrender.  Tang Bi saw that his power could not last long, so he killed Li Hongzhi and chose to rely on Xue Ju.

    But Xue Rengao didn't like Tang Bi at all, and he didn't really want to surrender. So he took advantage of Tang Bi's unpreparedness to attack his army and collect all of them. Tang Bi escaped with only a few hundred cavalry.

    After this battle, Xue Rengao's army became more powerful and numbered 200,000 men, planning to capture Chang'an.

    Xue Rengao certainly did not have 200,000 soldiers and horses, but the core of his soldiers and horses were all descendants of Longyou. They were extremely skilled in martial arts, and many of them were mixed with Qiang and Hu, so their combat power was astonishing.

    Liang Mo fought with Xue Rengao at Panlong Mountain, but was defeated, so he retreated to Chencang to defend.

    At this time, Li Yuan also entered Guanzhong. Liang Mo was shocked and wanted to return to Chang'an for rescue.  However, Dou Kang's uncle Dou Wei and his cousin Dou Gui raised troops in Guo County (now Guo Town, Chencang District, Baoji City, Shanxi Province). Dou Kang's brother Dou Jing, the prefect of Fufeng County, also surrendered to Li Yuan, and his troops stopped Liang Mo from heading west.  path of.

    Li Shimin attacked Weibei and ordered his eldest son, Shunde, to march westward to block Liang Mo's western aid.

    Liang Mo conquered Guoxian County and was blocked in Xixian County. He attacked several times but failed.  At this time, the left imperial guards were blocked by Li Tang's army in front and attacked by Xue Rengao's army of Western Qin behind them. They were unable to advance or retreat and fell into a desperate situation.

    Liang Mo was stationed at Wuzhangyuan.

    Seeing this, Li Shimin said to everyone: "Liang Mo can't advance to the east and has no retreat to the west. We have to wait and see the changes in the battle situation in Chang'an before taking the next step. Our army no longer has to worry about him." So he led his army to attack Xue Rengao.

    Liang Mo's situation at this time is indeed very embarrassing.

    He himself was a general of the Yiwei Army. If he surrendered to Li Yuan, he would not be willing to do so. If he wanted to rescue Chang'an, he would be powerless with only two to thirty thousand men in his hands.

    As Li Shimin said, he had no choice but to wait and see the situation before taking the next step.

    Liang Mo had been stationing troops in Wuzhangyuan for half a month, and the food was gradually running out.

    Just when chaos began in the army, someone came from the east, and it was Huang Mingyuan's cousin Huang Mingjing.

    Huang Mingjing ranks eleventh in the family. He is 23 years old and serves as the chief secretary of Huang Mingyuan's shogunate.  This time when he came to the west, Huang Mingyuan sent Huang Mingjing to see Liang Mo to show his sincerity and to gain more experience.

    Liang Mo is Huang Mingyuan's old general. He has been under his command since the Northern Expedition. Huang Mingyuan knows his character very well.  Liang Moyong was brave and loyal, but strategically weak. He had no one to guide him and didn't know what to do.

    Liang Mo was also overjoyed to see Huang Mingjing.

    For those who once served under Huang Mingyuan and led an army, including Liang Mo, Jing Yuanheng, and Dugu Lan, Huang Mingyuan's ability to make countless plans and calculate every strategy was comparable to a miracle in the eyes of these people.

    "Does Duke Wei have any instructions?"

    "Brother asked me to bring a letter to General Liang."

    Liang Mo took the letter and opened it quickly. In his opinion, Huang Mingyuan's letter was a guiding light in the darkness.

    Huang Mingyuan told Liang Mo some of the current situation in the letter, and told him that Li Tang's entry into Guanzhong was unstoppable and could no longer be changed.  The only solution for now is to conserve our strength and wait for the counterattack.  It would be better for Liang Mo to lead his army south to Hanzhong and block Li Tang's south gate to protect Bashu.

    Huang Mingyuan's decision to let Liang Mo march into Hanzhong was an important step in preventing Li Tang from becoming bigger.

    Historically, Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong and supported Yang You. Under the banner of the Yining court, he recruited surrenders and rebels along the way. More than 30 counties in Bashu and Shannan surrendered to Li Tang.

    The land of Shannan and Bashu has not had war for decades. The land is fertile, the products are abundant, the economy is developed, and the population is abundant.  Historically, Li Yuan was able to conquer the world in a short period of time, and the lands of Bashu and Shannan gave Li Tang great support.

    If Li Tang were allowed to occupy Bashu and Shannan again like in history, his power would probably be uncontrollable.

    Therefore, Huang Ming had to plan for Bashu in advance.

    It¡¯s just the land of Bashu,It was originally the private residence of the Guanlong family. Huang Mingyang had never been here, so his influence was extremely weak and there were even fewer people who could use it.

    It doesn¡¯t make much sense to rashly deploy people to Bashu.  How could one person be worthy of a wealthy family, so he had to rely on Liang Mo's army.

    In order to ensure that Liang Mo could play a role in Hanzhong, Huang Mingyuan transferred his old general Jiao Fangwei, the governor of Fuling County, to be the governor of Hanchuan County five years ago.  The two of them occupied the Hanzhong Plain, the most fertile area in Hanzhong, and together with the tens of thousands of Zuoyu guards, they could resist the Tang army for at least a period of time.

    It has to be said that in order to trick Li Tang, Huang Mingyuan laid out the plan for many years in advance. Many chess pieces were not noticed at all at first, but now they have become a crucial step.

    The advantage of the time traveler may lie in this.  It's not that you are smarter than others, it's that you can take action before others.

    Liang Mo was overjoyed after reading Huang Mingyuan's letter. After hesitating for so long, he finally had a direction and path.

    So Liang Mo organized his troops, and those who were unwilling to follow or had their hearts set on Li Tang were killed by Liang Mo.  Liang Mo is a person with a tough personality, even a little cruel, and he often does things without leaving any room for error.

    Liang Mo led more than 20,000 horses into Hanzhong from Baoxie Road. Jiao Fangwei had already received Huang Mingyuan's order and ordered people to go out to Liuba to meet the opponent.

    Xiegu Road belongs to Fufeng County, while Baogu Road belongs to Hechi County.

    When Liang Mo arrived at Liuba, he was worried that the Tang army would attack Hanzhong from Bao Valley or Hechi, and then the north side of Hanchuan County would be wide open.

    So Liang Mo decided to raid Hechi and control Chencang Road in order to defend Hanzhong.

    The governor of Hechi County is Xiao Yu, and the edict from Chang'an has already arrived in his hands. At this time, he is still hesitating whether to accept the edict from the Chang'an court.  Liang Mo came from the east and quickly occupied Liangquan County.

    At this time, Xiao Yu no longer had to hesitate and had no choice but to leave with Liang Mo.

    Liang Monai and Jiao Fangwei agreed that one would guard the river and the other would guard the Hanchuan River, forming the horns of each other.

    In the north, Li Shimin fought with Xue Rengao east of Guo County. Xue Rengao was defeated. The Tang army beheaded thousands of Xue Rengao's troops.

    At this point, Li Tangquan captured Guanzhong.

    However, when Li Shimin returned to Wuzhangyuan and prepared to encircle and annihilate Liang Mo, he discovered that Liang Mo had already gone south to Hanzhong, and the cooked duck flew away.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
