come to the heavens

All the generals were overjoyed except for Zhang Ling who knew that everyone else was overjoyed, and Wang Xuan stepped forward directly and said:

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and capture Maojindu for His Majesty!"

The others didn't fight with him, and the battle with Wang Shichong couldn't be finished in a short period of time. There is a lot of merit in the battle, so there is no need to fight, and the first victory has already been taken away by Xu Shiji, so it is useless to fight again.

Ye Chen walked back to his seat with a smile and sat down, with a serious expression on his face, he said:

"Wang Xuan listened to the order and ordered you to lead an army of [-] to Maojindu as the vanguard, and not to act rashly."

"Here!"

He took the token and turned to leave.

"Lonely battle!"

"The end is here!"

"Let you lead an army of [-] to Hangu Pass, surround it without attacking it, wait for the opportunity to move, and not attack the city without authorization!"

"Here!"

"Zhang Ling, you lead an army of [-] to Hongnong, closely monitor the movement of Li Tang's army, and report to me if there is any change."

"Here!"

"The others are waiting to follow the Chinese army and set off tomorrow morning!"

"Here!"

All the generals left one by one, leaving only Zhang Ling. Without outsiders, he stopped pretending and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect you to be an emperor, but you have a good appearance. How are you, are you happy?"

Ye Chen smiled and said:

"It's nothing exciting. I used to be an emperor in other worlds. Once the novelty is over, it's just like that. On the contrary, it restricts freedom. Anyway, I won't do it until the world is unified."

He looked up at Zhang Ling, and suddenly said:

"How about it, are you interested in becoming an emperor?"

Zhang Ling shrugged and said:

"I must be interested. I haven't tried it after so many times, but it's impossible in this world. I can't compete with you."

"It's good if you are interested. I will lend you a soldier when the world is unified. You can go to the east and destroy the messy small country on the island. You can also try to establish a country and become the emperor of the earth. Not only you, like Wang Xuan and others As long as you are still alive after unifying the world, I will give you a chance as a reward for helping me conquer the world, how about it?"

Zhang Ling showed joy and said:

"That's a good thing. I heard that the small country is in a mess. It dares to become a country by itself with less than a county. It makes people laugh out loud."

"Well, I heard that there are many beauties there, so send me a few when the time comes."

"Come on, an ordinary woman like you can't bear it, don't kill people then."

"Nima..."

Two days later, before Ye Chen's army arrived at Maojindu, news came that Maojindu had been captured. To be precise, it was Li Jiancheng, the son of Li Yuan, who suddenly led an army of tens of thousands to break through Hangu Pass, and sent a letter without stopping. Guguan's defeated troops attacked Maojindu, and it happened that Wang Shichong's reinforcements from Yuanxian County, north of the Yellow River, were about to cross the Yellow River. What's more, Xu Shiji rushed to them and attacked them halfway through the crossing, defeating the army crossing the river in one fell swoop. It was broken.

The defenders at Maojindu had internal strife with the defeated troops, and some of them surrendered to Wang Xuan.

But at this time, Li Jiancheng's 10,000+ army came to encircle Maojindu, and at the same time Xu Shiji led his army across the river to support Maojindu. The two sides confronted each other at this ferry.

This series of dizzying changes even Ye Chen, who has been in the field for a long time, was a little blinded, let alone the others, who were dumbfounded. He immediately ordered the Chinese army to speed up and catch up with Maojin. The Dugu Zhan army at Dudu rushed to Maojindu in the evening, and saw the Tang army waiting outside the Shuizhai Pass at a glance.

I have to say that Ye Chen is a little lucky to have this pass, otherwise, in the current chaotic situation, as long as Li Jiancheng leads the army to charge, it is very likely that he will directly defeat the chaotic Wang Xuanjun. The situation is chaotic, even if you face the same number of opponents, let alone a 10,000+ army, even if you add Xu Shiji's troops.

The 14 Chinese army and the [-] army of Dugu Zhan arrived at the same time. Wang Xuan on the wall of the pass was relieved. The [-] forwards plus the [-] army, and the [-] army crossed by Xu Shiji made a total of [-] troops, plus Ye Chen, the invincible god. Generally speaking, it is not difficult to defeat Li Jiancheng.

This time against Wang Shichong, Ye Chen mobilized a total of more than 20 troops, 23 in the central army, [-] forwards, [-] Xu Shiji, [-] Zhang Ling, [-] Duguzhan, and [-] rear troops, a total of [-] regular troops , It is to destroy Wang Shichong in one fell swoop, and then move westward to destroy Dou Jiande, and finally attack Chang'an Li Yuan with Zhang Ling.

It’s just that this plan can’t be implemented anymore. Li Yuan also had the same idea as him. The eldest son Li Jiancheng’s 10,000+ army confronted him at Maojindu. Ye Chen immediately realized that this was a good opportunity and took the opportunity to kill part of Li Yuan’s main force here. , it will be easier to deal with Li Yuan later.

Chapter 263 Killing Li Jiancheng, Concubine Xuan's Lobbyist

In March of the first year of Dakun and Shenwu, Taizu Yujia went on a personal expedition. At Maojindu, he met the traitor Li Yuan's eldest son Jiancheng and led an army to attack the emperor. The emperor was furious and raised his whip to attack him. , Killing the traitors in the chaotic battlefield was built in the camp, and the sound shook the four fields!

This was recorded in the military documents, and was used to record in the history books after several revisions. In the end, Ye Chen read it to obtain the history recorded in the history books for future generations to know.

To put it simply, it is the story of Ye Chen's army meeting Li Jiancheng's army at Maojindu.

In fact, it is not much different from this, but there is a slight discrepancy. The war did not go very smoothly at the beginning. Li Jian became the eldest son of Li Yuan, and his ability is not weak. At least Ye Chen will never be worse than Li Shimin in his eyes. It is normal to think about it. If the ability is too poor, how could Li Yuan let him lead an army of 10,000+ to attack Wang Shichong?

In fact, even in the official history, Li Jiancheng's ability is extremely outstanding, not inferior to Li Shimin. Before the Xuanwu Gate change, Li Shimin had been forced to the end by the then prince Li Jiancheng, otherwise he would not have put all his eggs in one basket.

Mutiny is the choice of the weak at any time, the last choice of gamblers, if Li Shimin really has the strength to crush the prince Li Jiancheng, the choice should be an upright coup to force Li Yuan to abolish the prince, not a mutiny that kills his brother and forces his father.

It was Li Shimin's last fight, and he succeeded by luck. Only then did Emperor Taizong of Zhenguan rule in later generations, otherwise he would be a rebellious son who killed his brother and father.

I don't know how many princes rebelled in history, but it was Liao Liao Wuji who succeeded, and Li Shimin was one of the most successful.

More than 30 troops from the two armies fought at Maojindu. Li Jiancheng was on the defensive at the beginning and fought steadily. Ye Chen didn't make a move at the beginning. After all, he was already the emperor. He was satisfied. The two armies fought back and forth more than a dozen times, and failed to defeat their opponents for five whole days. In the end, he couldn't help but take action himself. He led the army to forcibly cut through Li Jiancheng's army and cut off his commander-in-chief's flag before defeating Li Jiancheng's troops. As for Li Jiancheng himself, he did not kill him immediately, but was blocked by Zhang Ling's army in a valley between Maojindu and Hangu Pass when he was chasing and killing the rout, and surrounded him until he arrived. Let him kill.

After killing Li Jiancheng, some of the remaining Tang troops surrendered and some retreated to Hongnong. General Zhang Ling led an army of [-] to besiege Hongnong, and Dugu Zhan led an army of [-] to attack Taolin.

When Ye Chen arrived with the main force, Hongnong Taolin captured one after another. Here, the army was divided again. General Zhang Ling led an army of 12 across Maojin and crossed Hebei. Up, the soldiers pointed directly at Chang'an.

That's right, after defeating Li Jiancheng's 10,000+ army, he immediately changed his plan to attack Li Yuan instead of Wang Shichong.

The defenders of the county towns along the way surrendered one after another under his powerful force, and within half a month they had attacked and set up camp ten miles away from Chang'an.

After setting up camp, he did not order an immediate attack. Instead, he greeted Li Tang's special envoy, Shi Feixuan, in the big tent. he.

In the big tent, Ye Chen was sitting on a gorgeous couch, one of the two pretty maids was peeling fruit and feeding it to him, and the other was rubbing his back, although he didn't feel the strength.

"The fairy came here to make me retreat?"

Ye Chen seemed to have heard something funny, and asked politely:

"I don't know why you have the confidence to let me give up?"

Concubine Shixuan was kneeling and sitting on the futon embroidered with thick forging and satin, showing a beautiful figure. At this time, she no longer had the confidence she had before. Li Jiancheng's defeat ruined the 10,000+ army, which seriously injured Li Tang's vitality. If facing Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's forces still have the strength to resist, facing Ye Chen's army, even they themselves are pessimistic, although even if Li Jiancheng is undefeated, there is no chance of winning.

Her beautiful face was calm in the ancient well, she cast her beautiful eyes on Ye Chen's face, and said in a deep voice:

"Feixuan came here today to tell His Majesty something important."

"You said."
