Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Sui army, which has been appearing mysteriously, attacks Chang'an directly.  After hearing the news, the Chang'an court was greatly surprised and quickly mobilized Li Daoyan's troops in Sizhuyuan to block the Sui army.

    Li Daoyan is the eldest son of Li Shentong.

    After Li Yuan occupied Guanzhong, due to Li Shentong's contribution, he appointed Li Daoyan as General Youyiwei and Duke of Yixing, responsible for suppressing the banditry and rebellion at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains.

    Because there was no Princess Pingyang to raise troops in Guanzhong, Li Shentong supported the war on his own. Although his defeat was even worse, his status was higher than in history.

    As the eldest son, Li Daoyan was entrusted with important tasks.

    Li Daoyan led five thousand troops and stationed troops in Hu County (today's Huyi District, Shaanxi Province) southwest of Chang'an City.

    Although Li Daoyan was young, he still had some means. While pressing down the border with a large army, he sent people with heavy sums of money to persuade bandit leaders to surrender.

    The group of thieves who sneaked into the Qinling Mountains is composed of various groups, and the strength of each group is not strong.  Moreover, everyone was impatient of the hardships in the mountains, so under Li Daoyan's encouragement, they went out of the mountains one after another to seek refuge.  Li Daoyan's tribe was powerful for a while, and it was regarded as an important force of Li Tang south of Chang'an.

    When Huang Ming entered Liaodong, the only available troops around Chang'an were Li Daoyan's men.

    Although Chang'an did not believe that Li Daoyan could stop the Sui army, it could at least buy Chang'an some time.

    After Li Daoyan received the order, he immediately went north. When he met the front troops of the Sui army, the Sui army was already approaching the flood.  The journey from here to Chang'an is only forty or fifty miles, and the cavalry can reach the city in less than a morning.

    What met Li Daoyan was the 3,000 leading cavalry led by Yuchi Gong.

    Yu Chigong¡¯s department is responsible for the task of pioneering and clearing the way.  Huang Mingliao's death order was to open a road through the mountains, build a bridge across the water, and go all the way east without stopping along the way until the city of Chang'an.

    Huang Mingliao has lived in Chang'an for more than ten years, and he knows the moral character of the people here better than anyone else.

    The people of Chang'an are not a group of people who can defend to the death.  As long as the Sui army comes to the city without fighting, I don't know how many people will choose to defect.

    Fighting to Chang'an, just for its symbolic significance, can make the entire Guanzhong surrender in half.

    Yuchi Gong and Li Daoyan met. Seeing that Li Daoyan had many soldiers, his subordinates suggested that Yuchi Gong camp for a while and wait for the main force of the rear army to catch up before attacking again, which would be safe.

    But Yu Chigong refused.

    It is of course safe to wait for Huang Mingliao¡¯s main force.  But their vanguard troops went ahead and were separated from the Chinese army by dozens of miles.  By the time Huang Mingliao arrived with his troops, most of the day had passed.

    Every time this gives Chang'an more time, Chang'an's defense will be more secure.  I feel comfortable now, but when I get to Chang'an City, I will feel uncomfortable.

    So Yuchi Gong shouted loudly: "We, the pioneers, are originally to open roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering water. When encountering enemy invaders, if we don't dare to fight, we will retreat. What kind of vanguard can we be? All brothers followed the general manager from the Western Regions.  The heroes who were killed in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood should not be afraid of the rebellion of just a few Li and Tang thieves in front of us."

    The people's morale was high, so they formed a formation to attack the enemy.

    Opposite Li Daoyan, perhaps these days, he has won many battles in a row, and his self-confidence is much higher than before.

    Seeing that the number of Sui troops was small, Li Daoyan decided to take the initiative to attack and defeat the enemy.

    Li Daoyan¡¯s deputy general Shi Wanbao immediately stopped him.

    Shi Wanbao¡¯s ancestor was born in the Kingdom of Shi in the Western Regions, and he claimed to be Shi Wansui¡¯s younger brother, but no one knew whether it was true or not.  In recent years, he has been among the knights, and he has earned the title of "Chang'an Hero".

    Li Shentong rebelled in Guanzhong, and Shi Wanbao followed him to rebel in Hu County in the name of revenge for his brother.

    At this time, Shi Wanbao, as a subordinate of Li Shentong, had a good relationship with Li Shentong and was considered a member of Li Shentong's faction.  But their relationship quickly deteriorated and they parted ways.

    The reason is Shi Wanbao¡¯s service.

    As an important minister in the army and the first general under Li Shentong, Shi Wanbao has no problem leading an army alone.  Originally, Li Daoyan's army should have been commanded by Shi Wanbao and went to Tongguan to support Li Jiancheng.  But later, due to banditry in the Qinling Mountains, the trip was not possible.

    Li Yuan Dingding Guanzhong was extremely sensitive and suspicious because he was oppressed internally by the Guanlong family and externally by the Western Qin and Sui armies. When it came to appointing generals, he appointed clan members and cronies, not people who were close to the past, and he had no connection with the Guanlong family.  Those who support us will seize all military power.  So Shi Wanbao, who was agreed to be the commander-in-chief of the first army, became Li Daoyan's deputy general as the commander-in-chief of the march.

    Of course Shi Wanbao was dissatisfied with this, but there was no other way.

    Because of this incident, he also had suspicions with his old owner Li Shentong.??.

    Originally, Shi Wanbao was just dissatisfied, and when faced with Li Shentong, he just complained.  If Li Shentong was smart, he should comfort Shi Wanbao.

    But Li Shentong is selfish and short-sighted.

    Historically, Li Shentong attacked Yuhuaji and refused the enemy to surrender in order to seize the spoils. When attacking the city, seeing that his subordinate Zhao Junde was about to scale the city wall first, Li Shentong was jealous of his achievements and actually withdrew his troops without fighting.

    ??This shows what kind of thing Li Shentong is.

    So when Li Shentong saw Shi Wanbao complaining, he scolded him and kicked him out.

    So Shi Wanbao was secretly jealous, and when Li Daoyan came to the army, he would cause trouble for him everywhere.

    Li Daoyan is a young man, only in his twenties, with no military exploits and no prestige.  Under Shi Wanbao's methods, he was embarrassed several times and could only rely on his identity to suppress the other party.

    Fortunately, after recovering the Qinling bandits, Li Daoyan gained a firm foothold in the army.

    Today Li Daoyan wanted to take the initiative, and Shi Wanbao naturally stood up to oppose it.

    Shi Wanbao's reason was very good. The Sui army was looking at the direction along the way and its morale was high. It was better to hold on, dampen its spirit, and then attack again.

    Li Daoyan has experienced this kind of thing a lot, and he knows very well that if he wants to give Shi Wanbao a serious blow, he must defeat the Sui army.

    Si minus 75zhong*wen.com Si.  When he wins this battle, he can take advantage of the situation and replace his lieutenant generals, and he will be able to take full control of the three armies.

    So Li Daoyan sarcastically said: "Since Deputy General Manager Shi is afraid of the enemy and timid, don't blame me for not using you as the vanguard. Today I will attack first to defeat the thieves, and Deputy General Manager Shi will follow closely behind to plunder the formation for me.  Deputy General Shi, look at what I am capable of."

    With that said, Li Daoyan didn't care about Shi Wanbao's face, so he drove the Qinling bandits who surrendered to him and launched an attack on the Sui army.

    Shi Wanbao looked at Li Daoyan fiercely and spat hard.

    At this time, one of the subordinates asked: "General manager, are we going to let this kid bully us?"

    Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi.  Shi Wanbao sneered and said: "What are you afraid of, Li Daoyan, I'm afraid he made a miscalculation today. The Sui army is strong and can overcome dangers and obstacles to reach Guanzhong. They must be elite. They can be defeated by Li Daoyan so easily."

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off  He makes a reckless advance and attacks rashly. If we attack together with him, we will be defeated together.

    Today we will use Li Daoyan's son as bait to lure the Sui army.  When Li Daoyan is defeated, the enemy troops will surely rush forward. I will stand firm and wait, waiting for work at ease, and I will be able to defeat the enemy.  "

    Everyone agrees
