Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The deaths of Xue Ju and Hao Yuan relieved Li Tang's strangled neck.  The death of the commander and strategist one after another will inevitably severely damage the morale of the army. In any case, Western Qin does not have the ability to enter Guanzhong on a large scale.

    As for Jingzhou City, Li Yuan had given up long ago, so he could hold on for as long as he could.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity of Xue Ju's death, Li Yuan began to readjust his deployment.

    In addition to sending Dou Kang to lead an army to Binzhou, he also sent General Jiang Baoyi to lead an army of 6,000 to Tuqiao Fort to protect the Jingshui Channel. At the same time, he also ordered his eldest son-in-law, Shaoshi Feng, to lead an army of 4,000 to Pucheng.  The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, blocked Huang Mingyuan's way into Tongzhou and Binzhou.

    Huang Mingzheng's cavalry repeatedly crossed the defense lines of both sides and went deep into Tongzhou, Yongzhou and other places to harass, causing the whole Guanzhong to be in a state of panic and war.  This time Li Yuan had no choice but to repair the holes to guard against the Hebei Army cavalry heading south.

    There are enemies on all sides, wars are on fire everywhere, and there are not enough troops everywhere.  In order to ensure the replenishment of soldiers in various battlefields, Li Yuan had no choice but to recruit troops in Guanzhong.

    However, when Li Yuan entered Guanzhong before, all the forces in Guanzhong had been divided up by various families and tribes, so how many soldiers were left.  Each family controlled their own power so tightly that the central government could not recruit any usable troops.

    Seeing that conscription was not working, Li Yuan had no choice but to use the method of drawing Ding Lafu, sending the government and the army to carry out compulsory conscription in Guanzhong prefectures and counties one by one.

    In order to complete the task of recruiting soldiers, local governments will force men to join the army regardless of their family circumstances, let alone whether they are old, weak, sick or disabled.  The conscripts, like robbers and bullies, went from house to house, breaking in.  People ranging from 80-year-old farmers to 10-year-old urchins were all forcibly recruited, which was absolutely insane.

    In the end, there were still not enough people, and even the officials in charge of recruiting soldiers were not spared.

    Li Tang worked hard and finally recruited 80,000 troops, but God only knows how much combat power these people can have.

    However, because of this conscription, Li Tang made the scholars in Guanzhong angry and angry.  What's more, they raised their arms and roared up, occupying villages and mountains to confront the government.

    The people in Guanzhong all hated Li Yuan for his military activities. Li Yuan's good reputation when he entered Guanzhong was completely lost.

    Li Yuan also knew about all the troubles happening in Guanzhong, but he had no other choice.  Without massive recruitment and increased military strength, there would be no way to resist the attacks of the Western Qin Army and the Hebei Army.  If the opponent really gets into Guanzhong, no matter how good his reputation is, he won't be able to survive.

    So the people¡¯s sentiments can be temporarily relaxed.  After repelling the Western Qin and Hebei armies, we can then clean up.

    The situation in Li Tang continues to deteriorate. Although the enemy has not entered the gate, many knowledgeable people know that cruelty and harm to the people is not the way of a king.  The people's patience with Li Tang in Guanzhong has almost reached its limit. As long as they find an opportunity, there will be immediate turmoil.

    Whether it is Xue Ju entering Guanzhong or the Hebei army entering Guanzhong, the Li family's rule in Guanzhong will probably not last long.

    What others can see, Li Shimin can also see.

    "If we look at the overall situation, the current Li Shimin is not as good as Li Yuan.  But where Li Shimin was, there were some problems that he could see more clearly than Li Yuan.

    These days, in order to avoid the limelight of defeat, Li Shimin had to stay at home and live leisurely.

    He carefully deduced the strength comparison between Hebei, Western Qin and Li Tang, and finally concluded that Li Tang had the least possibility of winning.

    ¡°And he has watched the wind from all sides and is very aware of the turmoil brewing in Guanzhong. These are big challenges.

    There are so many things to think about, how can Li Tang win?

    If it¡¯s someone else, there is still a way out.  But as a member of the Li family, Li Shimin had no retreat.

    So after Li Shimin lay dormant for a few days, he went to see Li Yuan.

    Whether it was the Weibei battlefield, the Tongguan battlefield, or the Binzhou battlefield, Li Shimin had no objection.  Because it was impossible for Li Shentong, Li Jiancheng, and Dou Kang to listen to him.

    Li Shimin came to see Li Yuan to ask Li Yuan to reopen the Hanzhong battlefield.

    When you first hear this suggestion, it is absolutely crazy.  With the current conditions in Guanzhong, it is already too difficult to open three battlefields at the same time. Opening another Hanzhong battlefield is definitely asking for death.

    Li Shimin doesn¡¯t think so.

    In Li Shimin¡¯s view, as long as the Hebei Army launches an offensive in Tongguan, Liang Mo and Jiao Fangwei in Hanzhong will definitely cooperate in the battle.

    Si minus Si.  When the time comes, the Hanzhong battlefield will also be opened.

    Opening early and opening late will have different initiative.

    Of course, this reason alone was not enough to make Li Shimin send troops to Hanzhong.  More importantly, Liang Mo and Jiao Fangwei, who were stationed in Hechi and Hanchuan counties, blocked Li Tang's way into Bashu.??.

    Since Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong, he has been determined to conquer Bashu.

    The land of Bashu has not had a war for decades. It is rich in products and has a sufficient population. It is an excellent granary and soldier place.  After occupying Bashu, Li Tang had the confidence to march eastward and conquer the world.

    When the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty were in conflict, the Northern Zhou Dynasty also took advantage of the civil strife in Nanliang to occupy Bashu and laid the foundation for unifying the world.

    There are no separatist forces in Bashu, and it is the private territory of the Guanlong family.  Li Yuan sent his nephew Li Xiaogong to pass through Shannan and Bashu, and many counties and counties surrendered.

    But the problem is that the Hechi and Hanchuan counties occupied by Liang Mo and Jiao Fangwei separated the connection between Guanzhong and Bashu.  The four main roads leading to the southwest from Guanzhong, the Ziwu, Baoxie, Tangluo, and Chencang roads, and the southern section of the Lanwu Road leading to Xicheng were all controlled by the Sui army.

    Li Tang can¡¯t reach Bashu at all now.

    And because of this reason, the Bashu counties in Shannan that originally surrendered to Li Tang began to waver.

    "Father, the land of Bashu is a land of abundance. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. In the past, Liu Bei was weak and had been homeless for decades, but he gained it and ruled for fifty years, not to mention my Li family.

    The current situation in Guanzhong has reached a critical point.  The Guanlong families all had different intentions, and Xue Ju and Hebei were aggressive.  If Bashu is briefly determined, if Chang'an becomes difficult to defend, my Li family will at least have a place to retreat.

    "Otherwise, the day the city of Chang'an is destroyed will be the day when my Li family will be wiped out."  "

    ??? &#29306&#22914&#32&#116&#105&#97&#110&#108&#97&#105&#120&#119&#46&#99&#111&#109&#32&#29306&#22914&#12290 Li Yuan listened and did not speak for a long time.

    "In fact, Li Yuan didn't know what Li Shimin said.  Li Yuan had already thought about Chang'an being unable to defend countless times, but he only briefly decided on Bashu, which was easier said than done.

    The Qinling Mountains are naturally dangerous and obstruct the pass.  Liang Mo supported Hanzhong and blocked the roads to block Li Tang.

    Even in the Taipei season, if Li Tang wanted to occupy Hanzhong and open up the road to the south, he still didn't know how much effort it would take.  Now that Guanzhong is in danger, Li Tang has no spare power to attack Hanzhong.

    Mi He Mi.  "I understand what the people of the world have said, but today, how to defeat the enemy cannot be achieved by just talking."

    Seeing that Li Yuan was interested, Li Shimin immediately knelt down and said, "Father, my son is willing to lead the troops to clear the way and capture Hanzhong for his father."

    "well!"

    Li Yuan stepped forward and pulled up his son, and said helplessly: "To this day, besides your brothers, who else can I trust?"
