Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 602 Battle Report

"Your Highness, immediately enter the palace to ask for a fight..."

"No, no, no, wait for His Majesty to summon you!"

"But if it's the East Palace..."

Ling Jing looked at Changsun Wuji talking to himself alone with a blank expression on his face, quite a bit dancing and joyful... For Changsun Wuji, the Turkic breakthrough is good news.

In fact, among the staff of Tiance Mansion who knew about Li Shan's life experience, Changsun Wuji had the worst opinion of Li Shan... Although Li Shan maintained a good relationship with the Changsun's family and Gao's family.

But Changsun Wuji... In Li Shan's words, he didn't agree with his aura.

The appearance of the Turkic cavalry in Xinzhou meant that the Yanmen Pass had probably been breached. If King Ren Cheng could not defend against it, then King Qin Li Shimin might reappear on the battlefield... This is really good news for Changsun Wuji.

Ling Jing didn't say a word, he knew he shouldn't speak... Even thinking about it in a bad way, even if Li Shimin and others were worried, in this case, they were also worried about Yanmen Pass and Hedong, not about Li Shan who was still in Shuozhou, and himself The relationship with Lee Sun is too deep.

"When the battle report comes to Beijing, His Majesty will definitely summon Zaifu, and His Highness will enter the palace immediately." Du Ruhui thought very clearly, "Now it is just a battle report, the battle situation is unknown, and His Highness will judge the situation."

Fang Xuanling nodded slightly in agreement, it is necessary to enter the palace immediately... Because in terms of military strategy, Li Yuan always values ​​Li Shimin the most.

But under the current situation, Li Yuan will not allow Li Shimin to lead the military power unless it is a last resort... In history, Li Shimin led troops to Hedong to defend against the Turks this year. Under the premise of military exploits.

Once Li Shimin returns with another great victory, the prestige of the East Palace will almost be wiped away.

Li Shimin calculated back and forth in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Daozong, Daoxuan, Sanhu?"

At the moment when the Turks appeared in Xinzhou, Hedong, the central government would inevitably set up the Chief of the Army of Hedong Road to lead the war in Hedong. Regarding this candidate, it is impossible for the Eastern Palace not to intervene.

Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, who is now the general manager of Bingzhou, is a personal choice, as is Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, the general of Zuoweiwei in Beijing, but Li Shimin doubts that the East Palace will launch Li Yuanji, the king of Qi... Although this person has little military exploits, his identity is It's the prince, and he can hold his head steady.

"There is someone else to choose." Ling Jing said suddenly, "Lingzhou Chief Xiangyi King Li Rune."

"That's right." Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "King Xiangyi must not be allowed to return to Hedong!"

After going through a series of changes, the Li talisman has been completely thrown into Donggong's gate, and there is no way to turn back. Once the war is unfavorable, the East Palace is likely to send the Li talisman back to Hedong.

In the five years of Wude, Jieli Khan plundered Hedong. Li Shenfu, who was the governor of Bingzhou at that time, had a lot of military exploits. In the next two years, the Turks did not break through again... Although this credit may not be worthy of Li Shenfu. lead, but the facts lie ahead.

After a moment of silence, Du Ruhui raised his voice and said, "The situation is unclear, Your Highness will enter the palace first."

Li Shimin stopped procrastinating, got up and left the house, and Ling Jing, who sent him out, sighed softly. If Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng, could not resist the Turks, unless it was Li Daoxuan, the king of Huaiyang, neither the king of Qi nor the king of Xiangyi would be able to see him. It will fall on Li Shan of Shuozhou.

The current situation is really dangerous.

In the Hall of Liangyi, the atmosphere was rather depressing. Princess Pingyang stood beside Li Yuan expressionlessly, and was ordered to govern the Beiya Imperial Army. She could speak well in the hall, and the battle reports were delivered to Li Yuan through her hands.

Watching the guards appear at the gate of the palace, Princess Pingyang strode forward. This is the fifth battle report of the day. On the way back, out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Feng Lun, who had only been appointed as Zhong Shuling for a few months... I thought to myself, Huairen has always been kind to others, where did he offend this guy?

The first battle report was sent, Fang Renyu, the governor of Xinzhou, wrote a letter, thousands of Turkic cavalry attacked, overwhelming, and the killing was heavy. Obviously, Fang Xuanling's uncle had not figured out the situation, so he sent the battle report immediately .

Not to mention Li Yuan, Prince, and King Qin, none of the ministers below said a word. After all, the situation was unclear. It was the new Zhongshu Ling Feng Lun who suddenly jumped out unexpectedly, and asked Li Shanzu, the acting governor, Shi Handan County King.

According to common sense, the Turkic invasion of Xinzhou means that Yanmen Pass has been breached, and Daizhou has fallen... But the problem is that the Daizhou Army has held on to Yanmen Pass for many days.

Feng Lun is not an ordinary person, so it is impossible to be unclear about such a truth, why did he jump out and plead guilty?

Among the prime ministers, Pei Ji and Pei Shiju were noncommittal, but the latter did not add fuel to the fire at this critical moment... Uh, maybe it has something to do with Princess Pingyang's sharp and cold eyes.

Xiao Yu and Yang Gongren were wise and wise to protect their lives, but Chen Shuda, the servant of Zhongjiang Guogong, objected, but before he finished speaking, the second battle report came to Beijing, and Li Daozong, the governor of the prefecture, wrote a letter.

On May 22, Turkic soldiers invaded Bingzhou, plundered Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture, and ransacked a town.

The people in the hall immediately realized that it was very likely that Yanmen Pass had not been breached, and that the Turks invaded Hedong through other means, because the Turks invaded Xinzhou on May 23.

The most important hurdle for attacking Hedong from outside the Great Wall was the Yanmen Pass. There were many obstacles to invading Hedong from other means, and Li Daozong also mentioned in the memorial that the Turkic troops were not many, only about a few thousand cavalry, which also fit this feature.

The two people with the highest military attainments in the hall, Li Yuan, who had been guarding Hedong for more than ten years, and Li Shimin, who had once defeated Liu Wuzhou in Hedong, found the answer immediately.

Lou trouble off.

Then the third battle report confirmed the speculation of the father and son. On May 21, the Turks came from the north and attacked Jingle. The governor of Lanzhou, Zhong Mo, was too late to resist.

Now Taiyuan, Lanzhou, and Xinzhou are in chaos. The Turks all choose elite cavalry and march very fast. Li Daozong, the general manager of Bingzhou, has no time to dispatch troops. The Turks have already invaded Xinzhou from the north. However, Li Daozong's memorial was only half an hour late.

At this moment, everyone had seen the battle situation clearly, and no one thought that the Turks would choose Loufan Pass and send elite cavalry to break through the pass.

There is no platform on Hedong Road, and the north and south are under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou and Daizhou.

The Daizhou General Administration has jurisdiction over Daizhou, Weizhou, Xinzhou, Shuozhou, and perhaps Yunzhou in the future.

Bingzhou has general jurisdiction over Bingzhou, Shouzhou, Jinzhou, Taiyuanfu, Fenzhou, Yizhou, Bizhou, and Luzhou.

Theoretically, there are only three prefectural capitals in Hedong, which are not under the jurisdiction of Daizhou and Bingzhou. Puzhou and Jiangzhou, which are close to Jingzhao, and Zezhou, which is close to Henan, and adjacent to Shuozhou, have Lanzhou separated by mountains.

Because Lanzhou is located on the west side of Xinzhou, whether it was Liu Wuzhou back then, or the later Turks, Gao Kaidao, and Yuan Junzhang, once they captured Daizhou and went south to Xinzhou, the first target would always be Taiyuan Prefecture, and they would not go over the mountains to attack Lanzhou.

This also led to Lanzhou's lack of troops and disorganized armaments. When it was attacked by Turks, it had almost no resistance at all.

However, Lanzhou is not under the jurisdiction of the general manager's office in name. Rencheng King Li Daozong is a very cautious person. He once agreed with Li Shan that if the Turks attacked, he would lead troops out of the fortress, but Li Yuan was noncommittal. Regardless of Lanzhou, even when the Turks attacked Lanzhou, the horseshoes arrived at the junction of Taiyuan Mansion and Xinzhou, and he didn't know it yet.
