Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

However, it is not difficult to defeat the 5000 soldiers who came to intercept him. What is difficult is how to deal with the army of five surnames and seven hopes behind him.

If he cannot defeat those 5000 soldiers quickly, once the news is leaked, he will definitely be attacked by the two armies.

Thinking of this, Changsun Shunde's expression suddenly became gloomier.

Now, following the Fifth Surname Qiwang in rebellion is a death, and following Li Shimin and going against the Fifth Surname Qiwang is also a death.

He was caught in the middle and could not escape death no matter what.

What worries him the most is what kind of trump card does Li Shimin have hidden in the secret? He is so confident that he wants to wipe out the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes with only 23000 people.

If he could get the protection of this mysterious power, he would be able to overcome this difficulty.

But what he didn't know was that Li Shimin had no trump cards at all.

It was just that on his way back to Chang'an, he happened to meet Changsun Wuji who came with troops to support him.

After discussing on the road for a while, the two agreed that the situation has not yet reached an uncontrollable point, and Cui Yingying and Wu Xing Qiwang cannot be allowed to leave Gyeonggi Province alive, otherwise there will be endless troubles once the tiger returns to the mountain.

After discussion, Li Shimin believed that although Cui Yingying led people to break through the central army and the right-wing camp last night, the left-wing camp was still intact before dawn.

Now at dawn, Cui Yingying must be exhausted after a night of fierce fighting, and it is impossible to continue fighting. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the left wing camp must be intact at this time.

Moreover, the left-wing camp has always been led by Changsun Shunde, who has been entrusted with important tasks by himself, and there is absolutely no possibility of betraying him.

Coupled with the 2000 men and horses of the rear army who had used the old suspicion formation to stop Cui Yingying's pursuit, he was now above the military strength. Even if he did not surpass Wu Xing Qi Wang, it was certainly not much different.

Moreover, he now has 3000 cavalry, and their mobility is not inferior to that of Cui Yingying's cavalry.

If he did not take the initiative to fight decisively and just wanted to delay their evacuation, Li Shimin believed that it would definitely be more than enough.

As long as he delayed them in Gyeonggi Province and summoned King Qin from all directions when the time came, he believed that it wouldn't be long before defenders from all over the country would swarm in and kill the five surnames, Qiwang and the Cui family here.

After some discussion, the two immediately hit it off and led the army in a rapid pursuit.

Changsun Shunde, who didn't know the situation, stood there and pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth angrily and said to the bodyguard beside him:

"Send the order, abandon all baggage, gather all the troops, and follow the general to meet the enemy." It was found out.

Soon, Changsun Shunde gathered all the 11000 soldiers in his hands, and then without any hesitation, he led them directly towards Li Changlin's 5000 army.

Li Changlin, who didn't know that he was about to face a big battle, took his 5000 soldiers. As soon as they left the camp, they saw Lin Wan and Chu Ruowan rushing back.

When Lin Wan learned that Li Changlin was going to contain Changsun Shunde, a flash of surprise flashed across her face.

She didn't understand why Chu Mo wanted to hand over such an easy man to Li Changlin, but she had to take the thousands of remaining soldiers to face Li Shimin.

Although she didn't know what Chu Mo was thinking, Lin Wan deliberately avoided Chu Ruowan and specifically asked Li Changlin to exercise restraint when confronting Changsun Shunde and try not to conflict with each other.

After all, he had finally managed to frighten the opponent just now, and now he had to find a way to contain him.

If the plan was destroyed by Li Changlin, then this battle would basically be out of the question for him.

After receiving the instructions, Li Changlin did not question Lin Wan's order at all. He patted his chest and promised that he would take a good look at the "fat" Changsun Shunde and would definitely not let her plan fail.

As a result, Li Changlin, who didn't know the real situation, took his soldiers and crossed Cui Yingying and Zhang Taixin's military formation and headed directly towards Changsun Shunde.

Naturally, the movements here were not hidden from the eyes and ears of several scouts.

When Li Shimin heard that 5000 troops suddenly appeared in his rear army camp and evacuated directly towards the rear, he felt something strange.

I had heard Zhou Xiaohai say with my own ears before that there were less than 2000 soldiers there.

What's going on when such a group of people suddenly appears now?

However, before he could find Zhou Xiaohai to inquire about the situation, the scouts found new information.

That is, there is a group of several thousand remaining soldiers, slowly approaching in the direction of his own army.

Behind them, there seemed to be an army of five surnames and seven kings chasing after them.

After hearing the scout's report, Li Shimin immediately realized that these remnants must be soldiers from the central army and the right wing camp who were dispersed by Cui Yingying after the night attack last night.

Immediately, he directly ordered the army to stay in place, and he took 3000 cavalry to check the situation.

At this time, Chu Mo, after sending Li Changlin away, immediately began to arrange for his soldiers to kill all the remaining war horses in the camp.

Then he randomly smeared some horse blood on each soldier to disguise them as wounded soldiers.

Then he placed the truly injured soldiers in Chang'an City at the front of the team.

Then he pretended to be in retreat and moved quickly towards the direction of Li Shimin's army.

As expected, his move directly deceived Li Shimin's scouts, making them think that their defeated troops were being chased by Cui Yingying and Zhang Taixin's troops behind them, thereby attracting Li Shimin's cavalry.

But when Li Shimin led his cavalry and saw the scattered soldiers fleeing in all directions, he immediately ordered people to gather these remaining soldiers, take them away from the front of the military formation, and arrange them in the rear.

Re-select those soldiers who are not injured and still have fighting ability as a reserve army, ready to participate in the battle at any time.

And he, with the remaining cavalry, galloped directly towards the location of Cui Yingying's cavalry.

This time, he wanted to have a head-on confrontation with that bitch Cui Yingying on the battlefield to wash away the shame of last night.

However, before he could lead his cavalry against Cui Yingying, the scouts sent earlier came to report again.

The battle report this time made him a little dumbfounded.

That is, Changsun Shunde took the lead in leading the left-wing camp and started fighting with the small group of 5000 rebels who had retreated before.

Not only did Li Shimin get this news, but Cui Yingying and Zhang Taixin, and even the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes Allied Forces who came from behind, also got it.
