- The heavy door is dangerous everywhere, and it opens directly into the sky. The Huayue Mountains are as far as the eye can see, and the Yellow River is under your feet.
Tongguan, a naturally dangerous place, has been a barrier in Guanzhong since ancient times, blocking the Kwantung army coming from the west. But today, this portal fell into the hands of outsiders and turned into a sharp blade hanging at the throat of Guanzhong, making tens of thousands of Tang troops unable to move.
Tongguan is a dangerous place, high in the sky, with deep valleys, deep forests and luxuriant trees, which are rare in the world.
In order to win this place, Li Jiancheng, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Tang Army, used many methods. We fought overtly and secretly, and used force to outwit them. We worked hard, but unfortunately there was nothing we could do.
???????????????????? Qu Tutong is an old man, he is old and ginger. As a famous general who is good at defense, he defended the inside and outside of Tongguan fiercely, like a porcupine full of sharp thorns, guarding the entire defense line watertight, leaving no one with anywhere to bite.
The Qu Tutong at this time is not the Qu Tutong who was full of despair in history.
The Tang army had tens of thousands of troops, and the Sui army did not make concessions in vain; the Tang army had Yongfengcang, and the Sui army also had Changpingcang. Both sides fought equally in terms of troops and supplies, and one was on offense and the other on defense. Qu Tutong had the upper hand.
So Li Jiancheng stationed troops outside Tongguan for half a year, but still had no results.
After half a year of fighting, the divisions and veterans were exhausted, and the morale of the Tang army dropped to the extreme.
Taking advantage of Li Shimin's defeat of Qian Shuiyuan, Li Jiancheng finally couldn't hold on any longer and chose to retreat to Yongfengcang. Compared with Tongguan Camp, at least Yongfengcang has a strong city for defense, so it is not even safer.
And Li Jiancheng also had other worries. If Dou Kangzhen could not stop Xue Ju and the Western Qin army moved south along the Jing River and threatened Chang'an, Li Jiancheng would at least have a chance to quickly support Chang'an. Otherwise, if he stayed in Tongguan, Chang'an, three hundred miles away, would be beyond his reach.
And the most important thing is that facing old man Qu Tutong, Li Jiancheng had no confidence that he could capture Tongguan.
And choosing to station troops in Yongfengcang can support Chang'an to the west and attack Tongguan to the east, and there will be sufficient grain and grass support. At least in Li Jiancheng's view, this is an excellent choice.
Li Jiancheng moved, and Qu Tutong on the opposite side also moved.
So far, Qu Tutong has perfectly behaved what a loyal minister should look like, and can be called a model of loyal ministers.
Looking at Li Jiancheng's retreating team, Qu Tutong had great admiration for Huang Mingyuan at this time. Although he had seen Huang Mingyuan's grace on the battlefield many times, this time he was still surprised by Huang Mingyuan's ability to predict events like a god.
Before Xue Ju¡¯s advance eastwards, everyone was not optimistic about Xue Ju.
On the one hand, Xue Ju marched eastward several times, and was defeated no matter whether he went through Fufeng County or Anding County; on the other hand, Li Shimin was Huang Mingyuan's direct disciple, and he defeated Xue Rengao in Longshan, and even Liang Mo almost defeated him Although everyone despised Li Shimin's ungrateful behavior, they also recognized his ability.
Xue Ju traveled a long distance, and Li Shimin waited for work. No matter how you look at it, Li Shimin won. But no one expected that Li Shimin would be defeated cleanly by Xue Ju in Qianshuiyuan. 牺如 zongyiwx.com 牺如
Once Li Tang lost on the western front, he would inevitably transfer troops from the eastern front, and the pressure on the eastern front would also be reduced. Li Jiancheng's departure today is proof of this.
Li Jiancheng wanted to escape, but Qu Tutong certainly couldn't let him escape.
It has been a month and a half since the Hebei Central Committee decided to use troops against Guanzhong. Although Hebei was in chaos during this period, the center was not. Huang Mingyuan formulated a route and strategy for attacking Guanzhong while he was recuperating.
Qu Tutong was on the road to confront Li Tang. As long as Qu Tutong can firmly contain Li Jiancheng, Li Tang's largest mobile corps, Huang Mingyuan can bear any number of casualties. ãá reduce *.*com ãá
So on the night when Li Jiancheng evacuated, Qu Tutong personally led 60,000 troops and pursued westward.
In the past six months, Hebei has added a lot of troops to Qu Tutong, which greatly replenished the Youxiao Guards who had suffered heavy losses.
Yongfengcang is too close to Tongguan, just a quick march away. At dawn the next day, the Tang army on top of the city suddenly discovered that the outside of the city was filled with Sui troops.
The towering Sui army flag fluttered in the wind, and its crimson color was extremely eye-catching.
Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard the news about the Sui army. He hurriedly climbed up the city wall of Cangcheng, supported the female wall and looked into the distance. He saw that the south of the city was densely packed with tents of the Sui army.
Li Jiancheng¡¯s heart dropped.
Yongfengcang is different from Tongguan. Its original purpose was to store materials transported from the Yellow River to the Weishui River. It was a transfer station. The chosen location was naturally an open area with convenient transportation.
Although the section from Tongguan to Huayin is narrow,?After all, it is an important transportation area. An important area like Yongfengcang that is not accessible to idlers cannot block the road like a checkpoint.
So Yongfengcang was built to the north of the avenue.
According to the original plan, Li Jiancheng planned to build a road blockade on the road south of Yongfengcang to prevent the Sui army from advancing westward and to form a horn with Yongfengcang.
But against all odds, Li Jiancheng did not expect that Qu Tutong would follow up so quickly. Before he could set up a stronghold, Qu Tutong's stronghold was already established.
"Qu Tutong, this old man, has been doing nothing for more than half a year, staying in Tongguan without coming out. How dare he do it this time?"
Aren¡¯t you afraid that you are luring the enemy?
Yongfengcang is backed by the Weishui River and can only be accessed from the south and west. The Sui army set up a stronghold in each of the two places to trap them to death.
At this time, Liu Wenjing also came. Seeing the situation below the city, she immediately said: "Your Highness, we must prevent Mr. Qu Tutong from advancing westward to Huayin. There are not so many troops in Guanzhong to stop him."
The Sui army set up strongholds on both sides, trapping Yongfengcang inside. Naturally, the road from Huayin to Tongguan in front of Yongfengcang was also controlled by the Sui army. It can be said that the Sui army had already entered Guanzhong.
"At least Liu Wenjing was wrong. Qu Tutong was still the cautious Qu Tutong. His few troops and horses were not enough to besiege Li Jiancheng, so how could he dare to advance westward.
Qu Tutong has given up his mind a long time ago. Before, it was a procrastinating tactic, but now it is a trapped tactic, which means he will not fight to the death with you.
When the Sui army approached the city, Li Jiancheng immediately prepared for war.
Li Jiancheng played against Qu Tutong for half a year before, and he felt pretty good about himself.
But at this time, Li Jiancheng's hard power was not as good as Qu Tutong. Because Changsun Shunde's troops were transferred away, Li Jiancheng only had Wang Changxie's Tianji Army, Dou Dan's Wannian Daocen Banner Army, the Ministry of Industry Minister Dugu Huaien and Lu Shaozong's army that originally besieged Hedong, and the headquarters in Li Jiancheng's hands. , no more than 50,000 people.
As for Liu Wenjing¡¯s military power, all of it was handed over.
Among the various ministries, except for Wang Changxie's Tianji Army and Li Jiancheng's headquarters, their combat strength is not strong. Of course, north of the Wei River, there are Sun Hua's troops and Zhang Jin's Yulin Army, as well as Feng Shaoshi in Pucheng and Li Shenfu's troops in Longmen Pass, but they are all beyond their reach.
Zhang Wenyuan garrisoned Puban and Liu Yunfang garrisoned Longmen. The pressure from the armies in Tongzhou was much greater than that of Li Jiancheng.
But Li Jiancheng couldn¡¯t care less. He had to defeat Qu Tutong to make up for the big mistake he just made. Mi He Mi
