Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2443 Li Tang returned to Han, Sui, Shu and Chu aided Tang

Chapter 2439: Li Tang returned to Han, Sui Shu and Chu aided Tang

Liangzhou, Jincheng County, Sui Capital, Daxing City (formerly Jincheng Governance), Sui Palace.

"Report... to the lord, report from Guanzhong, Gongsun Xuanyuan raided Chen Cang, broke through Sanguan, Li Jing's troops divided into seven groups, and attacked Chang'an."

"what?"

Hearing this, not only Yang Guang, Yang Su, Gao Jiong, Cheng Gongying, Zu Ting, Ban Gu and others all exclaimed.

"Sanguan was breached? How did Li Shimin do it? The last of the four passes, Sanguan, can be broken so easily by Qin Jun?"

Yang Su had an unbelievable expression on his face. He had dealt with Li Shimin a lot, and he couldn't believe that Li Shimin, who was always cautious, couldn't even guard his only retreat.

But after listening to the spies' narration, Yang Su suddenly didn't know what to say.

There are traitors inside and strong enemies outside, let alone Li Siyuan in this situation, even if Yang Su were to guard him, I am afraid that he would not be able to stand the pass.

"Sanguan is Li Tang's last gate, but now it has fallen into the hands of the Qin army. Now the 10,000+ Tang army in Guanzhong will be completely trapped in Guanzhong." Ban Gu said in a deep voice.

"Oh, Li Tang is in danger." Yang Guang sighed.

Although Yang Guang and Li Shimin had a grudge against their father, Yang Guang is the person who least wants Li Tang to have an accident.

Once Li Tang completely loses Guanzhong, Daqin's territory in Yongliang and Liangzhou will also be connected, and Sui will directly face the pressure of the whole Daqin.

Only countries bordering Great Qin can experience the sense of oppression that is so weak that it is almost suffocating under the powerful national and military power of Great Qin.

Tang Guo was originally the vanguard of the anti Qin, and he was the most active in the anti Qin matter, but the result was naturally that he shot the top bird.

Originally, although the base of the Tang State was not as big as that of Shu and Chu, its national strength and military strength were not weaker than that of Shu and Chu.

Even Li Shimin, who is so proud, had no choice but to relinquish the throne, pay tribute to Great Qin, and become a subsidiary state.

The state of Wei borders Daqin, facing Daqin like a grandson, not daring to offend even the slightest bit, and almost responding to requests.

The five kingdoms of Yuan, Qing, Qi, Chu and Shu also bordered on Daqin, and they were beaten by Daqin one by one.

So far, except for the Song Kingdom, there is no country that borders on the Great Qin without suffering a big loss.

So far, the Sui Kingdom has not suffered a big loss from Da Qin, but it has never suffered from a small loss.

During the third Hetao War, Yang Guang was defeated by Meng Tian and Wang Meng, and fled back to Liangzhou in embarrassment. Relying on treachery and backstabbing allies, he annexed most of the territory of Ma and Han, and became Liangzhou's well-deserved overlord.

Later, Yang Guang sent Yang Su to conquer the Western Regions. Everything went smoothly, but Ji Xiaolan was entangled with the Western Regions Allied Forces, and the Western Expedition was postponed due to too much resistance.

In addition, after Yan Xing and Ma Chao surrendered to Qin, Da Qin gained a quick enclave in Liangzhou.

As for Yang Guang's old rival, Meng Tian, ​​since he became the governor of Liangzhou in the Great Qin Dynasty, the friction between Qin and Sui has never stopped.

How many chassis and population does Daqin have in Liangzhou?The total population is only 20 in the two counties, but there are a full [-] elite garrisons. How can Yang Guang feel at ease?
In this short period of one and a half years, there were as many as 130 border conflicts between Qin and Sui, all of which were small frictions between dozens of hundreds of people. There were victories and losses between the two countries, but Sui basically lost more .

Meng Tian only has [-] Liangzhou Qin troops in his hands, and he has already put great pressure on Yang Guang.

If Daqin completely occupied Guanzhong, and Yongliang and Liangzhou were connected to one another, then the Sui Kingdom would probably be under the shadow of Daqin all the time in the future.

"Reporting to my lord, Tang Guo sent a request for help to my Tai Sui through a letter sent by Feige. I hope that my Tai Sui can send troops to support it."

Hearing this, Yang Guang quickly took the request for help and browsed through it at a glance.

Li Shimin stated clearly in his letter that he was forced to betray the Southern Han Alliance and became a vassal state of the Great Qin. He hoped that Yang Guang could speak for him so that the Southern Han Alliance could accept Li Tang again.

At the same time, I also hope that the Sui State can send troops to attack Xiaoguan to disperse the forces of the Qin army and reduce the pressure on the Tang army in Guanzhong.

He also promised to cede the three counties of the Qiang land to the Sui State afterwards as a reward for the Sui army's dispatch of troops.

After Yang Guang read it, he passed down the letter and asked everyone to read it one by one, and express his views on whether Tang could be saved or not.

After reading it, most of the civil servants and generals present thought that Li Tang should not be rescued, because Li Tang had been reduced to a bird in a cage after he lost the pass, and it was only a matter of time before he was wiped out. There was no need for Sui to sacrifice himself for Tang Drag into the mire.

Yang Guang didn't listen to the opinions of the people, but he didn't want to go to war with the Qin army until he was fully prepared, so this time he was going to just show off and send troops to support Li Tang, but he was not allowed to directly fight with the Qin army .

"The lonely king decided to send [-] troops to attack Xiaoguan in two ways to rescue Li Tang. The orphan led [-] troops as the left army, and Yang Su led [-] troops as the right army." Yang Guangda ordered loudly.

"Obey." All the generals said in unison.

Yang Su's previous expedition to the west destroyed nine countries in the Western Regions in a row. The Sui Kingdom seized a large amount of people, food and wealth, and invested them in the development of internal affairs.

Under Yang Guang's governance, after a year and a half of vigorous development, Sui's political economy has been greatly improved, and there is no pressure to bear the consumption of a [-] army.

Before the army on Yang Guang's side set out, the news was leaked to Meng Tian, ​​the governor of Liangzhou in Daqin, by the lurking black ice platform spies.

After Meng Tian received the news, he immediately held a meeting to discuss whether the Qin army should face the [-] Sui troops who had killed them head-on, or defend passively.

The Qin army in Liangzhou only has [-] in total, nearly half of which were reorganized from the Korean and horse armies. Even after a year and a half of training, their combat effectiveness has not been what it used to be, but they still have a lot of respect for the Sui army. It was terrible to be beaten by the Sui army.

The Liangzhou native Qin army led by Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Yan Xing has not yet realized its own strength, so these people tend to defend.

The foreign Qin army headed by Long Qi and Jiao Moxiang had no fear of the Sui army, so they all advocated taking the initiative to attack. After all, the Qin army has always been good at winning more with less.

Sixty thousand to one hundred thousand?The advantage is mine.

After thinking about it, Meng Tian also felt that it was not a matter to train all the time. It was time to pull out the army. The real swords and blood had to fight the Sui army. Only after seeing the blood could the Liangzhou Qin army transform into a real elite. .

Therefore, Meng Tian started with [-] infantry and [-] cavalry, a total of [-], to face the Sui army. Under his command were Long Qie, Jiao Moxiang, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Yan Xing and other generals.

Meng Tian led his army straight to Yang Guang's troops, ready to attack them one by one, but Yang Guang was taken aback by this.

He sent troops just for show, he didn't want to start a real war with Meng Tian, ​​so he quickly ordered to stop the march and called Yang Su to join him.

As soon as Yang Guang and Yang Su's troops came out, their strength reached [-], and their momentum was extremely large.

Meng Tian was not absolutely sure that he would win. Seeing that Yang Guang did not take the initiative to attack, he also guessed the other party's intentions, so he set up camp on the spot and confronted the Sui army across the river.

Although Yang Guang and Meng Tian were very restrained, the people under them couldn't hold back anymore.

Today Jiao Mo went to attack the Sui camp with 500 people.

Tomorrow Gao Changgong will bring three hundred cavalry to burn the Qin army's food and grass.

The day after tomorrow, Ma Chao went to Suiying to challenge.

The day after tomorrow Gao Gao came to be provocative.

It can be said that there are constant conflicts every day.

At the same time that Qin and Sui were confronting each other in Liangzhou, the two countries of Shu and Chu also made the same decision as Sui, that is to send troops to support Li and Tang in order to contain the strength of the Qin army, but they did not really start a war with the Qin army. .

Liu Yucai completely controlled the military and political power of the Shu Kingdom, and he hadn't finished sorting things out internally. Naturally, he didn't want to provoke the Qin army at this time, but it was impossible to watch the Qin army occupy Guanzhong.

Under Su Qin's suggestion, Liu Yu decided to re-accept Li Tang into the Southern Han Alliance, and personally led [-] Shu troops, as well as Xing Tian, ​​Liu Er, Zhang Ren, Peng Yue and other generals, and went north to Hanzhong to support Li Tang.

Li Shimin was overjoyed when he learned about it, and rejoined the Southern Han Alliance, which meant that Li Tang didn't have to fight alone, even if the three allies only used him as a target.

The road to Shu is difficult, and getting out of Sichuan is not easy.

It would take at least a month for the [-] Shu troops to reach Hanzhong. By this time, the battle in Guanzhong might be over.

But Liu Yu never expected that although his trip didn't have much effect, he had a surprise, and he actually gained a peerless general who was not inferior to Xing Tian.

As for Liu Xiu, since Li Shimin was beaten to the ground by Ying Hao, he has consciously assumed the role of a vanguard against Qin. No one is more active than him in anti Qin.

Liu Xiu was the latest to receive the news, but his actions were faster than Liu Yu's. He directly sent [-] troops to Jiangling, and there was a tendency of the Northern Expedition to attack Xiangyang.

After Xue Rengui, the governor of Jingzhou, received the news, he immediately transferred all the troops from Jingbei's battalions back to Xiangyang.

However, the 15 Chu troops in Jiangling are only training in Jiangling, and there is no sign of moving. It seems that it is probably a false move.

As for the two countries of the Central Plains, Wei and Song, after receiving the news that the Qin army sent troops to Guanzhong, they all kept silent tacitly.

Regarding the matter of Daqin sending troops to Guanzhong, the Wei and Song Dynasties did not express anything, neither supported nor opposed, and their attitudes were really intriguing.

Seeing that there were signs of war between Qin and Chu, Wu Guo secretly sent more troops to Lujiang. Once Qin and Chu really went to war, they would send troops to sneak attack Chu's rear, with an oriole behind them. In short, they would not miss any opportunity to weaken Chu.

In this way, Shenzhou, which had been quiet for a year and a half, became tense again because of the second Guanzhong War between Qin and Tang Dynasties.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can basically see that the momentum created this time will definitely not lead to the outbreak of melee among the nations, but Li Tang may not be able to escape this catastrophe.

Kunlun Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Daoist Taiqing, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. After counting his fingers, he frowned, and then issued an order to help Tang Dynasty.
