- "Compared to the scheming Dou Kang, Li Shentong, who fought against Huang Mingzheng in Weibei, had a much purer mind. Although the counties in Weibei were considered Li Shentong's territory, Li Shentong's interests would be harmed the most if he gave up like this. However, for the sake of the Li family, Li Shentong was willing to accept it even though he gritted his teeth.
"However, Li Shentong wanted to retreat, but he couldn't.
Under Li Shentong's command, there are Xuange Army and Zhang Pinggao's Tianjie Army, with a total army of about 30,000 troops. Among them, the main force of the Tianjie Army was stationed in Tongguan County, which was the northernmost and most important line of defense of the Tang Army in Guanzhong. Li Shentong led the main force of Xuange's army and stationed in Huayuan County. On one hand, he protected the back road of Tongguan County, and on the other hand, he met the Sui army in the direction of Huangqin Mountain and prevented the Sui army from breaking into Guanzhong.
From the time Huang Mingzheng marched south to July, the two sides faced off at the Phoenix Valley, Huangqin Mountain-Tongguan and Huayuan lines for more than six months.
In fact, it is not that Huang Mingzheng has no chance to break through this line of defense.
With the strength of the two sides not much different, the military level of Li Shentong, a poor commander who was evaluated by Huang Mingyuan as "not much better than a pig", was far inferior to that of Huang Mingzheng, who had experienced hundreds of battles.
And Zhang Pinggao was also a grassroots general who suddenly became famous. Before Jinyang raised his troops, he was just a Yingyang captain. He had never even led an army of more than a thousand people. His commanding ability could not be compared with Huang Mingzheng's.
So in the first two field battles between the two sides, the Tang army lost.
After that, Zhang Pinggao did not dare to fight again, but chose to defend the fortified city. However, Huang Mingzheng did not take advantage of the victory to attack. Instead, he semi-encircled Tongguancheng and launched attacks on Tongguancheng at intervals, as if dealing with official business.
This strange scene was not because Huang Mingzheng was timid, but because Huang Mingzheng deliberately used this method to hold back Li Shentong's 30,000 troops.
The more decisive the battle, the more prudent it is.
For the Sui army, which had divided the Tang army on all sides, it no longer sought a big victory to change the situation of the war. The safest way was to consume the Tang army's strength bit by bit. Sui armies from all walks of life are interlocked with each other, and if they attack rashly at one place, if they fail, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction and lead to the overall collapse.
Therefore, Huang Mingzheng used procrastination instead of fighting, restraining Li Shentong's tens of thousands of troops and preventing them from moving.
Of course, procrastination does not mean slacking off. All the procrastination is waiting for the big change of Huang Ming and Liao soldiers entering Guanzhong. So today Li Shentong was preparing to break out and finally gave Huang Mingzheng a chance to defeat the enemy.
It is very difficult for Li Shentong to break through. He needs to face two problems.
The first is Li Shentong and Zhang Pinggao. Their troops are divided into two places, one is in Tongguan and the other is in Huayuan. Li Shentong's troops were better off, as they were not surrounded by Sui troops and could retreat quickly. However, the Sui army almost semi-surrounded Tongguan and had the advantage of cavalry. If Zhang Pinggao retreated hastily, he might suffer heavy casualties.
But now the problem is that Zhang Pinggao must give up Tongguan County.
Li Yuan¡¯s plan was to have Huang Mingzheng and Xue Rengao fight in Weibei. This was a plan to drive away wolves and swallow tigers. If Huang Mingzheng is blocked by Zhang Pinggao, and the tiger is coming, the wolf has already entered, then it is not driving the wolf to devour the tiger, but luring the wolf into the house.
Therefore, Li Yuan requested in his letter to Li Shentong that Huang Mingzheng must be given a way to face Xue Rengao no matter what. That is to say, the four counties in the west of Weibei, including Tongguan, Huayuan, Sanyuan, and Yunyang (now northwest of Jingyang County, Shaanxi Province), must be abandoned.
This puts Li Shentong in a difficult position.
Seeing that the time requested by Li Yuan was getting closer and closer, Li Shentong had no choice but to think of a way out, so he simply forced Zhang Pinggao to break through, while he himself was in Huayuan to provide support.
It has to be said that this order is no different from asking Zhang Pinggao to die.
Zhang Pinggao was shocked when he received the order. He stayed in Tongguancheng and barely managed to deal with Huang Mingzheng. Breaking out to the south and fighting the opponent in a field battle was not asking for death.
Zhang Pinggao was as helpless as an ant on a hot pot.
At this time, Zhang Pinggao¡¯s general Li Daliang suggested that Zhang Pinggao could break out of the encirclement by water.
Li Daliang was born in the Wuyangfang of the Li family in Longxi. He was the son of Li Chong, the famous general of the Sui Dynasty and the former general manager of Shuozhou, Wuyang County Duke. Although Li Daliang was both civil and military, his father Li Chong was dismissed from his post because he was accused of treason. Therefore, Li Daliang, a person with questionable identity, could only be a soldier with Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty.
After Li Yuan rebelled, Li Daliang abandoned his official position and went to Li Yuan, and was appointed as the marching commander of the Tianjie Army.
Outside Tongguan City, there is Tongguan Water, also called Tongguan Water.
Neither the Sui army nor the Tang army had water troops here, so they did not pay much attention to the defense of this river with a small flow of water.
The Tongguan River originates from the mountains to the north of Tongguan, and flows southward into the Ju River in Huayuan County. In Li Daliang's opinion, since both sides have no defense against the Tongguan River, it would be better to order the soldiers of the three armies to take boats and go southward along the river, directly to the Tongguan River.??Original.
Although the Sui army¡¯s cavalry was strong, they could not reach the river surface.
Zhang Ping was thinking hard and was at a loss when he heard Li Daliang's suggestion and felt very happy. So according to Li Daliang's plan, he ordered people to build boats in the city for crossing the river.
Local people rarely go boating. If there are any boats, they have to be enough for more than 10,000 people.
For this reason, Zhang Pinggao even cut down all the trees in the entire county. As for the doors and windows, they were also completely removed. Even the sheepskins in the hands of the people were gathered together.
The entire Tongguan County is filled with crudely made boats.
Of course, such ships were not enough. Zhang Pinggaonai ordered people to carry one day's military rations and weapons and equipment, and discard all other items.
It is more than forty miles from Tongguan to Huayuan, and we can reach it in one day's march.
As the rear base for Tongguan, Huayuan County has no shortage of food.
On the day Li Yuan broke out of the siege, Zhang Pinggao led more than 12,000 troops to break out of Tongguancheng. Everyone left the city from the west gate and went straight to the Tongguan River in the west of the city.
These more than a thousand boats of various kinds are easy to transport. A few people can carry them to the river, put them down, and then they can sail.
Because the boats are not high, the various small boats are densely packed with people.
Many people even lost their feet and fell into the water because of the narrow boats.
"And the ships collided and squeezed each other, and no one knew how many ships turned over. These small sampans have almost no protection ability, and some even sink directly into the water because there are too many people on them. 牺如 wanbar.net 牺如
Zhang Pinggao didn't care about this and had to keep urging everyone to get on the boat.
At the fifth watch of the day, the large group of people finally headed south.
There are boats all over the river, just like garbage floating on the water, densely packed and everywhere. ãá reduce 75zhongw*en.c*om ãá
But everyone finally left.
Zhang Pinggao looked back at his fellow officials on the boat with infinite melancholy. There are still 500 soldiers in Tongguan City, who were left behind by Zhang Pinggao. He ordered this group of people to spread flags widely on the top of the city and beat more drums and gongs to confuse the Sui army and buy time for the main force.
Of course, the fate of this group of people can be met.
Zhang Pinggao has been in Tongguancheng for more than half a year, and he has some feelings for him. Mi He 75zhongwen.com Mi
Now that I¡¯m gone, I really don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be able to come back
