Chapter 46: Forced to Surrender Qu Tutong II
"The general is very clever!" Fang Xuanling said with a smile on his horse, looking at the slowly marching army beside him.
"The water in Daxing City is too deep. I can't stay there any longer. It's better to stay away." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said, "Brother Fang, I believe you have also heard about what happened on Suzaku Avenue yesterday!"
"Is it about the performance of Monk Huikong of Xiangtai Temple in Gongdang Street of Linfen County?" Fang Xuanling laughed loudly and said, "I have heard that the cassock worn by Monk Huikong is the temple of Xiangtai Temple.
What a treasure! It’s worth tens of thousands! Now the people in Guanzhong will be blessed with the help of the general."
"Hey, Brother Fang, I, Lu Zhaoci, am not as relaxed as you think. Don't you see what's wrong with the eldest princess coming to see her off today? Hey, Brother Fang, according to your wisdom, I won't
I believe you can't tell." Lu Zhaoci glanced at Fang Xuanling on the side.
"Brother, what's the problem here?" he asked curiously while looking at the marching army with excitement on his face.
"Ask your husband." Lu Zhaoci patted his head and said.
"The princess is trying to win over the Duke of Linfen." Seeing this, Fang Xuanling looked at Li Zhiyun and explained: "The general is General Zuo Yiwei. He has 80,000 elite troops to protect Daxing City. As long as he wins over the general,
It is equivalent to controlling Daxing City. The foundation of the Prime Minister is in Daxing City. Emperor Yining is just a puppet. If he wants to get rid of the fate of a puppet, he must control the army. The general is the best candidate. So there are
Monk Huikong's test was followed by the princess who came to see her off. Fortunately, Wulang was here today, otherwise the matter would have spread to Daxing City. The prime minister was naturally broad-minded and would not believe that the general would surrender to the enemy, but some people would not
If you are polite, you will definitely attack the general."
"This eldest princess is not simple! Maybe at this time, she would rather kill me than she would be willing to do it." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said.
"How do you say this?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.
"Hey, who is Qu Tutong! Ever since Zhang Xutuo died in battle, Qu Tutong has been supporting the Sui Dynasty. Now my general is going to attack Tongguan again and defeat the last hope of Emperor Yining." Lu Zhao
Ci sneered: "Is it strange that the eldest princess doesn't want to kill me?"
"What a pity." Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Maybe the eldest princess was planning to ask Qu Tutong to counterattack Daxing? It's a pity that you ruined it again."
"Let's go! We have to take Tongguan. After this time, it will be difficult for me to go on an expedition." Lu Zhaoci remembered that the reason why Li Shimin could pose a huge threat to Li Jiancheng's position as crown prince is that
Because of his military exploits, most of the wars in the Tang Dynasty were completed by Li Shimin. Especially when the Tang Empire was just established, it had enemies on all sides. It was only because of Li Shimin's military exploits that the Tang Empire survived the initial crisis.
.
Tongguan is a heavy-pressure pass built between Guanzhong and Luoyang. The pass is well-defended and the city is several feet high. It is an extremely strong fortress on the Guanzhong Road and an important fortress in the Sui Dynasty. Ever since Qu Tutong knew that Daxing had been breached,
, he understood that Hedong could not be defended, so he led the army to break out and garrisoned at Tongguan, waiting for an opportunity to take back Guanzhong. Unfortunately, although Tongguan was a natural danger, the object of defense was in the direction of Guandong. More importantly, at this time, it was already
It was not the world of the Sui Dynasty. Luoyang, which could have been used as the rear, at this time, made Qu Tutong always be prepared for attacks from his comrades who may be in the same camp. Although Tongguan is good, it lacks food and grass, so it is not possible at all.
It can be used by an army of 30,000 people.
"Da Lang, Lu Zhaoci is here." In the general's mansion in Tongguan, Qu Tutong had silver hair. He was also old. Since breaking out from Hedong, he felt that his energy was getting worse and worse. At this moment
Being trapped in Tongguan, we had to always be on guard against Wang Shichong's attacks from behind. This time it was better, Lu Zhaoci led an army.
Yin Mingkong had a thin face, pale complexion, and dry hair. He no longer looked like the handsome and handsome young master Zhuo Shijia he once was. His eyes were gloomy. When he heard this, he glanced at Qu Tutong and said, "Lu Zhaoci is coming. Really?"
of?"
"The spies came to report that Lu Zhaoci led an army of 30,000 to attack Tongguan, which is still fifty miles away." Qu Tutong sighed. He knew that the destruction of the Yin family had a great impact on Yin Mingkong, but he did not
Although he might be able to win one or two victories, he lost the initiative in the war and allowed Lu Zhaoci to occupy Guanzhong calmly, which resulted in the death of dozens of members of the Yin clan in Daxing City.
"Haha, this Lu Zhaoci is so brave. He actually wants to break through Tongguan with only 30,000 troops. Who does he think he is? He really takes himself seriously and is really a cunning fox. Hum hum, this time
If he doesn't die here, I won't believe in Yin." Yin Mingkong looked sinister. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He regretted that he had been tricked by Lu Zhaoci when he was in Huoyi.
, allowing Li Yuan to successfully pass the most dangerous level, and drive directly to the gate of Hedong City. Later, he allowed Lu Zhaoci to thrive in the pass, defeating his father in one fell swoop, allowing Li Yuan to successfully occupy Daxing and destroy it.
After joining the Yin family, now he was the only male member of the Yin family. Yin Mingkong wanted to go to Daxing immediately and take away Lu Zhaoci's head. Now, Lu Zhaoci came to the door himself.
How unhappy he is.
"Da Lang, although Tongguan is a natural barrier, we don't have enough food and grass. Lu Zhaoci doesn't need to attack at all to cut off our food and grass, and finally collapse without a fight." Qu Tutong sighed: "A certain person has already moved eastward.
We have all pressed for food and fodder, but there has been no reply so far. I am afraid that Wang Shichong and the others will not allocate food and fodder to us."
Yin Mingkong's expression changed when he heard this. He did not expect that Lu Zhaoci would finally have the opportunity to fight in person, but the army lacked food and grass. As long as the opponent closed the door and refused to fight, the 30,000 troops under his command would not fight.
Collapse.
"The general can use Wang Shichong to resist the Li thieves in Guanzhong." Yin Mingkong suddenly said with his eyes lit up.
When Qu Tutong heard this, he naturally knew what Yin Mingkong meant, which was to surrender to Wang Shichong. In this way, he would not only get food and grass, but also borrow Wang Shichong's Dongdu army. But Qu Tutong was not optimistic about Dongdu. Then
Although Dongdu has eight important passes, it is not only not as rich as Guanzhong, but more importantly, there is no room for development. The Li clan is in the west, Li Mi is in the east, Dou Jiande is in the north, and there are many princes in the south. There is no room for development. Surrender.
If you kill him, your death will only be delayed by a few days.
