Sui and Tang Dynasties Summons

Chapter 434 Li Yuanji, can't help it anymore

Three days later, Chen Tian really led [-] troops, led by Guo Jia and two generals, Chen Qingzhi, Li Cunxiao, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Ran Min, Guan Sheng and others.

The army marched mightily towards Xuchang.

At this time, there was still a day's journey away from Xuchang, so Chen Tian was temporarily stationed on the road to rest.

Chinese army tent.

"You mean, Li Yuan sent Li Yuanji, Zhang Gongjin, Li Xiaogong, Hou Junji, and Li Yuanji's family with [-] troops to guard Xuchang?"

Chen Tian looked at the latest information sent by Ma Ling, the commander of the Shenxing Pavilion, who traveled thousands of miles every day, and a playful chuckle appeared in the corner of his eyes.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it is absolutely true."

Ma Ling nodded affirmatively.

"This Li Yuanji only led [-] soldiers and horses. It seems that Li Yuan did not intend to confront our army head-on. Instead, he planned to only defend and not attack, leaving our army helpless and forced to retreat."

Chen Qingzhi stroked his beard and saw through Li Yuan's strategic intentions at a glance.

"System, help this host to check the four dimensions of Zhang Gongjin and Hou Junji."

Chen Tian's thoughts raced and he woke up the system instantly.

"Querying... Please wait a moment, the host."

"Zhang Gongjin's four dimensions are as follows, force: 72, intelligence: 94, command: 90, politics: 92, please pay attention to the host."

"Hou Junji's four dimensions are as follows, force: 81, intelligence: 90, command: 93, politics: 85, please pay attention to the host."

Chen Tian looked at the four dimensions of the two, then cast his eyes on Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and said, "Do you have any good plans?"

Guo Jia's mind was spinning quickly, he took a sip of wine, and said lightly: "Isn't there a long and narrow saddle in front of Xuchang? I think we should divide the army into one long one, and then march slowly."


Slow down?

"I said Guo Fengxiao, are you drunk? Why don't you say you are going to die when you march like this?" Zhang Fei on the side immediately objected.

When Jia Xu and Chen Qingzhi heard about it, they smiled indifferently.

Chen Tian's eyes moved slightly, thinking about what Guo Jia meant.

After pondering for a while, Chen Tian suddenly realized, "Excellent, this trick is to lure the tiger out of the mountain."

"Your Highness is wise." A strange look flashed across Guo Jia's eyes, as if Chen Tian had realized his mystery so quickly.

Chen Tian already realized in his heart that if he led an army of [-] to attack, Li Yuanji would not dare to fight and would only stick to it, but now as long as he showed his flaws, it would be another story.

Chen Tian, ​​who has studied Tang history deeply, is very clear about Li Yuanji's character of being competitive and eager to make contributions in history. If he passed through that saddle, Li Yuanji would probably not be able to help but send troops, wanting to win a victory, to shape his character. His prestige in the Li family.

After all, both Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have already lost their reputations. If he can make a good comeback against their defeated enemy, Li Yuan will definitely look at him with admiration.

And Guo Jia's strategy was to use Li Yuanji's character to lure him into sending troops.

Zhang Fei has a thick brain, and he couldn't turn the corner for a long time.

The plan has been decided, Chen Tian smiled coldly and said: "That's it, Zhang Yide, I order you to lead [-] troops to walk that saddle tomorrow."

"Ten thousand?" Zhang Fei was dumbfounded on the spot, grinning bitterly and said, "I said, Your Highness, this saddle is a rare ambush site, and you want me to lead the soldiers there, you want me to die ah."

"Why, you dare to disobey my edict? Believe it or not, I told you to go back and sell pork?" Chen Tian's face was serious, and his eyes were wide open.

"That's right, how dare I, I'll obey the order." Zhang Fei had no choice but to accept the order, grumbling under his breath, and turned to leave the camp to order troops.

Seeing this funny scene, everyone laughed.

But at this time Zhao Yun stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the general thinks that this is really too risky. If Li Yuanji really set up an ambush..."

"Zilong, don't worry, I have my own way to deal with this Li Yuanji." Chen Tian replied calmly, showing a deep smile that couldn't be seen through.

……

The next day.

But on the fourth watch, when Dongfang turned slightly pale, Zhang Fei's army started to move, buried the pot to make food, and immediately marched towards the saddle in an orderly manner after a full meal.

The banner of "Chen" has been raised high.

The secret workers near Xuchang in the west saw the looming Chen character banner on Shan'an, and quickly reported the movement of Chen Jun to the general's mansion in Xuchang city.

Xuchang.

Li Yuanji had just led the army, looking dedicated to his work. Before dawn, he went to the top of the city to patrol, just in time for the spy to send the east intelligence to the city.

"Chen thief marched so fast? Who is the leader?" Li Yuanji's tone became urgent.

"General, the leader of the army is Zhang Fei, and he is now leading the army towards the saddle." Xi Zuo replied immediately.

Suddenly, a murderous intent flashed across Hou Junji's eyes on the side: "Third son, Thief Chen is eager for quick success and wants to arrive before dawn when our army is not paying attention, but we don't know that our army has already known about it. I think we just took the opportunity Send out troops, and give him a head-on blow by relying on the strength of the troops and the advantages of the terrain."

Li Yuanji's body was shocked, and his eyes gradually became murderous.

Li Xiaogong who rushed over after hearing the news said anxiously: "Senior Young Master, Your Highness ordered us to stick to Xuchang City and not fight the enemy army. I thought it's better not to fight, lest we fall into the scheme of Thief Chen."

But Hou Junji said: "Can there be any tricks? On the one hand, Thief Chen marched to cover up his whereabouts before dawn, and on the other hand, he sent Zhang Fei to lead the army. It is because we dare not send troops because we are afraid that there may be a conspiracy. If If this is the case, we were really caught in a trick to allow Chen Jun to arrive at the city of Xuchang smoothly, Master Li was too cautious!"

"That being said, I have fought against that Chen Qingzhi, he is full of tricks, I think safety is the most important thing, and he should not fight." Li Xiaogong insisted.

"My lord Li, don't you want to be like the first or second son, and you are already afraid of being beaten by that Chen thief? Don't you want to have a place in front of His Highness and raise your eyebrows?" Hou Junji's tone was full of sarcasm.

"You..." Li Xiaogong was suddenly speechless in anger.

Take a seat, exhale and raise your eyebrows...

Li Yuanji clenched his fists tightly, his eyes became more and more eager to move, and his desire to do meritorious deeds was as irrepressible as a volcano that was about to erupt.

Li Yuanji was eager to make meritorious service, and he really wanted to gain Li Yuan's trust. He didn't want to follow his elder brother or second brother's ass for the rest of his life. What he coveted was Li Yuan's throne!

Moreover, according to Hou Junji's analysis, it seems that this victory is just around the corner, and there is no reason to turn a blind eye to it.

"The general is away, the king's fate is not accepted, the opportunity must not be missed, and the loss will never come again. I hope that the third son will not be indecisive like those two sons and miss the opportunity!" Hou Junji cupped his hands and looked at Li Yuanji expectantly.

Ever since Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng lost successively, Hou Junji planned to put his wealth on Li Yuanji.

As soon as these words came out, no matter how difficult it was to restrain Li Yuanji's inflated heart, his heart of meritorious deeds, there was only determination in his eyes.

Without waiting for Li Xiaogong's persuasion, Li Yuanji punched the city wall, and said proudly: "General Hou is justified, Chen thief is so confident in the passage, he really doesn't take this young master seriously, let alone me, the generals of the Tang army, if I If you don't give him a head-on blow, how can you boost the morale of the armed forces!"

Li Xiaogong knew that Li Yuanji was eager for meritorious service and determined to fight, no one could stop him, so at this moment Li Xiaogong looked at Li Yuanji's arrogant smiling face and could only sigh suddenly.


"The third son is wise, this battle will definitely make the third son's name known to the world!" Hou Junji immediately flattered again when he saw the situation, and he had already outlined in his mind the scenario of defeating the invincible and invincible Chen Jun in the first battle. picture.
