The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 552

After capturing Jindiguan, Qi Wang Gaoqi continued to lead the army to Luoyang without taking a rest.

On the way, a good news came back, Su Lie led the army to detour to Songshan Shaolin Temple.

Under the guidance of the abbot and the Shaolin monks, they went around to the rear of the Tang army and carried out an ambush.

Since Li Shimin was killed by the gunpowder bomb, Xu Shiji never expected that there would be an ambush afterwards.

However, he was completely unprepared, and was ambushed by Su Lie's troops in the suburbs of Luoyang, more than a hundred miles away.

In the meantime, Xue Dingshan, Fan Lihua, Luo Zhang and others led their respective troops out and cut off the Tang army's way back.

Under a fierce attack, Xu Shiji had to lead the remnants to retreat, and most of the Tang soldiers were wiped out.

In the meantime, Liu Hongji was beheaded in a battle with Xue Dingshan!
Qu Tutong was also in the process of breaking through, and met Su Lie, who was captured because of his strength.

Following Su Lie's defeat of the Tang army, after Gao Qi got the news, he took the lead in ordering Zhao Yun, and Luo Cheng led the Flying Tiger Camp one step ahead to join Su Lie's troops.

Immediately, Su Lie led a mighty army to march towards Luoyang in order to capture Luoyang and capture Henan County.

Due to the great defeat and heavy losses this time, and the death of the emperor Li Shimin, the morale of his army was even more depressed.

Under such circumstances, Xu Shiji knew that he could no longer defend Luoyang, so he couldn't help but retreat to Luoyang, so he organized his soldiers to move the supplies away to the hinterland of Guanlong.

After everything was transferred, Xu Shiji also ordered Hou Junji, who was in charge of countering Yu Yunwen in Yique, to retreat to Tongguan in the opposite direction.

By the time the Qi army's various armies converged in Luoyang City, the Tang army had already gone to the empty building without a trace!
After several months of fierce fighting, the Qi army finally defeated the Tang army on the central line and captured Henan and other counties with Luoyang as the core.

Afterwards, Gao Qi appointed Su Lie as the main general, Xue Dingshan as the deputy general, and led [-] troops to march towards Hongnong.

Since the Tang army had long since given up the territory outside Luoyang, Su Lie took it almost effortlessly.

Of course, Gao Qi personally sits in Luoyang, manages the land, and deters nightclubs everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, with Li Jing as the commander-in-chief, led Qin Qiong, Yu Chigong, led an army of [-], crossed the mouth of the Yellow River, and attacked Hedong County!

Not only that, Yang Ye, who was sticking to Yanmen and other places at this time, also led tens of thousands of troops south to Taiyuan at the invitation of Huang Zhong.

For a time, hundreds of thousands of Qi troops approached Taiyuan and Hedong.

Li Mu and Guo Ziyi, who got the news, did not dare to continue to tangle with Yue Fei and Xu Da, and were ready to retreat.

However, with the encirclement of the Qi army, Li Mu and Guo Ziyi were encircled by the Qi army in Taiyuan in the end, and they returned in a big defeat!

The second general had to lead the remnant troops across Fengyi County from the east-west ferry, and retreated to the Guanlong area.

As a result, Taiyuan and the land of Hedong were pacified, and then Gao Qi appointed Yang Ye as the governor of Hedong, leading an army of [-] to guard the northern border.

Yu Yunwen joined the army and provided assistance, Huang Feihu and Huang Zhong were generals.

Not only that, after the fall of Hongnong, the gate of Guanlong was opened wide, and the defense line of Wuguan was meaningless.

After Li Xin and Li Zicheng couldn't help but sum up, they led the army to retreat overnight and returned westward.

Afterwards, he stuck to Shangluo City and continued to confront the Qi army in order to defend the capital Chang'an.

Of course, with the retreat of the Tang army, Xue Rengui also led the army to capture the military officer, and then occupied most of the land east of Shangluo.

Immediately afterwards, they continued to approach Shangluo, and together with Su Lie, the two sides restrained the Tang army in Tongguan and Shangluo.

With the development of the war situation, after Zhuge Liang of Shuzhou entered the Guanlong area, he also fought a battle with Li Xiaogong.

In the end, Zhuge Liang set up an ambush and shot Li Xiaogong in the Dasanguan area, taking advantage of the local terrain.

As a result, the Shu army occupied Chencang, cutting off the connection between Chang'an and Qinzhou.

Immediately afterwards, under the internal and external attack of Zhuge Liang and Bai Qi, Li Guangbi who was stationed in Qinzhou was unable to support himself, so he had to retreat to Pingliang.

Gather the local Xifan people, defend in the Anding area, and continue to contend with the Qi army.

With the fall of Qinzhou, Li Tang's power has shrunk significantly, and he was completely locked in the Guanlong area by the Qi army, unable to move!
······
Tang Capital, Chang'an

After learning that Li Shimin passed away at Jindiguan, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, who had retired behind the scenes, couldn't help crying and was very sad.

Li Yuan really didn't expect that he would lose several sons in his sixtieth year.

However, for Li Tang's remaining foundation, Li Yuan went to court again with the support of all officials.

However, unexpectedly, after Li Yuan stabilized the political situation of the court, he did not choose to regain the position of emperor.

Instead, Li Chengqian, who was only 12 years old, was supported as the emperor, and his queen Chai Ruyi was the queen mother. Together with Li Yuan, he assisted Li Chengqian in governing.

Afterwards, Xu Shiji, Changsun Wuji, Chai Rong and other ministers were appointed as ministers of Gu Ming, and together they stabilized the court.

With the concerted efforts of Li Tang's ministers, Li Tang's originally chaotic and panic-stricken political situation gradually stabilized.

As for Xu Shiji, Li Mu and other generals gathered their troops again and defended at Guanlong, preparing to fight the Qi army to the death.

After stabilizing the court, Li Yuan retreated behind the scenes for the first time, not interfering with the government.

In fact, after experiencing the general incident, Li Yuan at this time has long been dismissive of rights, and no longer wants to be involved in rights.

After all, for the sake of power and for the sake of the world, all the disciples under his command have been buried in the ground forever.

······
However, at this time, the Qi army stopped marching across the board and began to absorb and digest the territory it had just captured.

In the process of rest, at this time Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang had successfully led [-] navy to Wa Island.

Due to the defeat of the Japanese pirates on the coast of China a few years ago, the military strength was greatly damaged.

Coupled with the capture of Queen Tuigu, Wajima was almost in chaos at this time, and they were attacking each other.

After the Qi army's navy marched into various places, the Japanese pirates everywhere were defeated at the first touch, and they had no power to fight back!

However, within a few months, Zhou Yu and Qi Jiguang respectively pacified the entire territory of Wa Island.

Afterwards, Zhou Yu obeyed Gao Qi's secret decree, and after the settlement of Wa Island, the men and women were slaves and the women were prostitutes.

After Zhou Yu finished, he carried out this purpose thoroughly, although some Japanese refused to accept it.

But there is only one result for those who are dissatisfied, and that is to meet him with a butcher's knife.

In the blink of an eye, waves of bloody massacres were taking place on Wajima. For the rebels, the Qi army forced them with butcher knives.

Following a burst of bloody slaughter, the Japanese no longer dared to resist, and became lambs waiting to be slaughtered one after another.

Willingly, under the "escort" of the Qi army, he landed and headed for the inland of China.

Next, what was waiting for the Japanese was that the men were slaves and the women were military prostitutes.

Afterwards, Gao Qi issued orders, using Zheng He as the maritime foreign trade envoy, leading the fleet to various places for trade.

In the meantime, Wa Island was used as a colonial island, responsible for stationing troops, and serving as a transit place for trade.

It is only said that in the next few years, Zheng He traveled to and from the sea, and successively occupied Yizhou and Fandao.

Relying on the strong strength of the Qi army, they occupied the island almost in a short time.

Among them, Li Quan, who was retreating to Fandao, also disappeared under the offensive of the Qi army, and Li Quan also threw himself into the sea.

······
In 633 A.D., Zhou Yu led the navy from Wodao to the Koguryo Peninsula and attacked it from the sea.

Not only that, but Shi Lang and Fu Youde also sailed out to sea in Donglai County and marched towards Liaodong.

Li Jilong of Zhuojun and Yang Yesuo of Taiyuan, with a total of 30 Qi troops, marched towards Youzhou.

Under Li Jilong's restraint, Yang Ye led the army to raid the rear of the Jin army from Daicheng, cutting off the connection between the two.

Subsequently, Yang Ye and Li Jilong joined forces and launched a general attack on the Jin army.

In the end, the Jin army was wiped out in the Anle area, and his Wanyan Aguda was also forced to commit suicide.

Subsequently, Yang Ye and Li Jilong led the army to continue to march towards Liaodong and fight the Manchus.

Just as Dorgon was fighting fiercely with him, Fu Youde and Shi Lang's navy landed in Liaodong.

Subsequently, it swept across the counties of Liaodong, captured the entire territory of Liaodong, and then marched into Linyu Pass and captured the pass.

Under internal and external difficulties, the Manchu Qing army was defeated in Lulonggang, and Dorgon and other generals all died in the rebellion.

It is only said that when Zhou Yu entered the Goguryeo Peninsula, the Qing Dynasty was fighting fiercely on the peninsula with all its strength.

It turned out that after Liu Bang fled, he followed Zhang Liang's strategy, landed from the peninsula, and took the opportunity to attack the peninsula.

At that time, the focus of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was on seizing the land of Youyan, but they ignored the defense of the peninsula.

Therefore, Liu Bang relied on Han Xin and other generals to attack cities and land all the way, without any disadvantages!
Huang Taiji was soon expelled from the country, because the peninsula was located in the rear of the Qing Dynasty.

Nurhachi has been dispatching troops from various places to compete with Liu Bang for the peninsula, and the war has been deadlocked.

Until this time, the encirclement of various armies of the Qi army surrounded both Manchu and Liu Bang on the peninsula.

After a fierce battle, the Qi army successfully annihilated the Manchus and Liu Bang in one fell swoop, and seized the peninsula and the eastern land.

As for the rest of the Northeast tribes, they are also photographed by the prestige of the Qi army, which almost depends on the spread!

The eastern part of the East is thus pacified!

Subsequently, Gao Qi divided the Goguryeo Peninsula into the jurisdiction of Liaodong and established it as Dongzhou, with Li Jilong as the governor, responsible for the garrison of Dongzhou.

Due to the strong prestige of the Qi army, Khitan, which has been under control, also surrendered to the Qi army under Xiao Yanyan's persuasion.

As a result, the territory of the Great Qi Empire has greatly increased, and the domestic military power has greatly increased.

At this time, except for Li Tang who was still lingering in Guanlong, Qi State unified all regions.

Now, all along, there have been rulers, civil and military, who have persuaded Gao Qi to ascend the throne and carry out the reform of the Yuan Dynasty.

However, Gao Qique refused on the grounds that the world is not in peace and the sea is not in peace.

······
After resting for two years, in 634 AD, Gao Qi personally sat in the Luoyang area and issued a decree to conquer Guanlong in the west and destroy Li Tang.

For a while, Zhuge Liang, Bai Qi, Xue Rengui, Yue Fei, and Li Jing each led their armies to attack Guanlong.

Just to say, Li Tang's strength has long been greatly reduced, so how can he be an opponent of Daqi's million-strong army?

After several months of fierce fighting, Li Jing took the lead in attacking Chang'an, and Li Tang was officially declared dead!
So far, the decades-long chaotic world has been declared unified under Li Tang's downfall.

At this moment, Gao Qi was standing on the tower of Chang'an City, looking into the distance, his thoughts could not be calmed down for a long time.

"The world is finally unified?"

But at this moment, Gao Qi's mood is not the joy of reunification, but a deep sense of helplessness.

This is a sense of loneliness of a hero's twilight!
Yes, in order to fight for the world and power, China has lost too much beauty.

······
However, at this moment, Huaxia will usher in the prosperity of Daqi for the first time in decades.
