Li Shimin ran for more than thirty miles and fled to Tingkou City to rest. When they arrived at Tingkou City, Li Shimin and his party only had a few hundred people, and everyone was injured and in a miserable state. They were all like defeated quails, with no morale at all.
Li Shimin looked at this tragic situation and couldn't help but feel sad. Once all tens of thousands of elites were lost, how could he have the dignity to see his father.
Li Shimin touched the knife on his waist and couldn't help but cut himself with the knife.
At this time, Hou Junji hugged Li Shimin.
"Mr. Qin, victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. How can there be a general who is always victorious in the world? If this is the case if everyone loses, there will be no generals in the world."
Li Shimin looked miserable, closed his eyes and said: "If we lose today, Guanzhong will be in danger."
"The Duke of Qin must not lose his spirit. The current plan is to gather the remaining troops, prepare for war, and block Xue Ju's march south. If Duke Qin loses confidence, how can the generals below have the courage to resist. When that time comes , Guanzhong is really in danger."
Li Shimin is only nineteen this year. No matter how capable he is, he still has a youthful air. After this defeat, his self-confidence was severely damaged. If there was no one to persuade him, he might never recover.
After all, Li Shimin understood that for the sake of the Li family, he had to regain his strength. 牺如 75zworg.com 牺如
However, Li Shimin was really defeated in this battle. He fled in panic, with only a few hundred remaining soldiers around him. Tingkou is a small city, only a few miles away, and there are no garrison troops.
Hou Junji suggested that Li Shimin withdraw to Binzhou City to block the Qin army.
Binzhou is a state and county separated from the southern part of Beidi County by Li Yuan. It was originally called Xinping County and governed Xinping County (today's Binzhou City, Shaanxi Province), and was later changed to Binzhou. Stationed in Binzhou is Dou Gui's swaggering army. Although Dou Gui's main force was used in this battle, there are still a few left-behind personnel available in the city.
Li Shimin thought about it and refused.
It is easy to evacuate to Binzhou, but it is more than seventy miles from Qianshuiyuan to Binzhou City. If he retreats to Binzhou, it will be even more impossible to clean up the defeated army. Although it is dangerous to stay at the entrance of the pavilion now, it is good to be able to collect some soldiers and horses.
¡°I have already abandoned my comrades once on the battlefield, and I have no shame in retreating again.
Not abandoning the robe is Fengzhou's military training, but he betrayed his own oath.
Li Shimin raised a flag at the entrance of the pavilion to recruit defeated troops. He also sent people to Binzhou and ordered Liang Shi, the governor of Binzhou, to organize his army and defend himself.
In order to stop Xue Ju, Li Shimin also sent people to Ningzhou (Beidi County) to send a message to General Yang Tun of the Zhewei Army stationed in Ningzhou, ordering him to lead his troops to support Binzhou.
If Jingzhou wins the battle, Ningzhou will be the front line to resist the Sui army. However, this battle has been lost. With Xue Ju's attack, Ningzhou has been isolated in the north, and its importance has been greatly reduced.
Now for Li Shimin, he would rather lose Ningzhou than Binzhou.
Li Shimin stayed at the entrance of the pavilion for half a day, when Chai Shao arrived from behind.
After Li Shimin left, Chai Shao also retreated immediately. However, he had many soldiers, so he rushed quickly and slowly. He didn't expect that he was so slow.
Fortunately, Chai Shao had Li Yuan's Yuan Cong Forbidden Army in his hands. He had enough horses and everyone ran wild, so they were not left behind by the Western Qin army.
Chai Shao brought back more than 4,000 men, and half of his troops were injured or dead, but they were considered well. Si minus Si
Thanks to Chai Shao¡¯s command in the central army, Li Gaoqian blocked Zong Luohu in front, and Qiu Xinggong blocked Xue Ju¡¯s first wave of attack from behind, so the formation was complete and did not completely collapse.
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw Chai Shao.
This time, he and Chai Shao could be regarded as a friend in need. Especially since Chai Shao brought him so many troops, it could be regarded as resolving his urgent need.
The two sides stayed at the entrance of the pavilion for most of the day, gathering more than 4,000 scattered soldiers. It was Xue Ju who was in a hurry to attack Gao'an City and did not pay attention to the soldiers who were fleeing on all sides, so he allowed everyone to flee to the entrance of the pavilion.
Chai Shao's troops, including the defeated troops and Li Shimin's personal soldiers, numbered eight to nine thousand. With so many troops in hand, Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to Binzhou.
With so many people, they also need to be reorganized in order to form combat effectiveness.
The people retreated eastward, but before they reached Binzhou, Qiu Xinggong, the commander-in-chief of the missing army, chased them.
Qiu Xinggong's troops were powerful soldiers in Guanzhong. After the battlefield that day, everyone was attacked and scattered. Qiu Xinggong couldn't stop it. He followed the chaos and headed east. He fled for half the night before he stabilized his hands and feet. However, Li Shimin's troops were in chaos at that time. Seeing that returning would be useless, he headed east again, and finally met Li Shimin on the way to Binzhou.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?After the rebellion, Qiu Xinggong's troops no longer numbered a thousand.
Li Shimin unceremoniously annexed Qiu Xinggong's department.
When everyone arrived in Binzhou, Li Shimin took over the military power of Binzhou. Everyone was secretly surprised when they saw the embarrassment of Tang Jun, but given Li Shimin's identity, no one dared to say anything.
Li Shimin stayed in Binzhou for a day, and the previous news gradually spread back.
First, Gao'an City fell.
This was not what Li Shimin expected. With all the main force lost, Gao'an City is a source of rootlessness, and its fall is inevitable.
But it soon gave him a surprise.
Li Shimin had only been in Binzhou for two days when Tang Jian and Pei Ji rushed to Binzhou from the north of Jingshui River with more than 4,000 imperial troops.
It turns out that Li Shimin's army was defeated that day, and Gao'an City was greatly frightened. Tang Jian, who stayed behind, saw that his hands were full of second-line soldiers and lacked combat power to stop the Western Qin army. It is better to save it for later than to die in vain.
Pei Ji, the chief minister who stayed in the city, was frightened to death, so of course he agreed to retreat.
Gaocheng City is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the front is blocked by shallow water. So Tang Jian had people tear down the doors and windows in the city and use them as sampans, forcibly crossed the Jingshui River from the north, and evacuated Gao'an City.
With this withdrawal, although Gaocheng City was lost, Li Tang retained a limited force, which is good news.
Tang Jian was lucky that Xue Ju didn't make dumplings on his side, but the other two sides were not so lucky. Dou Gui defeated Niujiaogou and fled north in panic. His troops were in the Jingshui River. Countless people drowned. Even his deputy general Lin Xingcan died in the Jingshui. Only Dou Gui was lucky enough to escape to Ningzhou.
Liu Hongji on the other side listened to Li Shimin's order to retreat. He was on the southern front and faced fewer Western Qin troops. Xue Ju didn't take him seriously. He was the one who should have successfully broken through.
But after receiving the order, Liu Hongji fled to Gaocheng City without thinking, and happened to run into the arms of Xue Ju, who had just won.
Of course Xue Ju would not refuse another fat lamb. So the two sides had another fierce battle in front of Qianshuiyuan. In this battle, the Tang army was defeated, their commander Liu Hongji was captured, and his deputy Murong Luohu died in the battle. Only Chief Shi Yin Kaishan managed to retreat successfully. However, only one or two thousand people in the entire army escaped.
Throughout the Qianshui Plain, corpses were strewn across the fields and rivers of blood flowed. Mi He Mi
Every night, lonely souls and wild ghosts are everywhere, and ghosts cry and wolves howl.
At this point, the battle of Qianshuiyuan, which decided the fate of Western Qin and Li Tang, ended temporarily with Li Tang being defeated and Western Qin winning
