Turbulent Times Chapter 1634: The duo of Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu

Li Shimin's life is very difficult these days. After losing to Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin in the battle of Manhanzhai, he withdrew his troops, abandoned the four counties in the south of Hanzhong County, and stuck to the three counties and county towns in the north.

Faced with this situation, after Xu Shiji led the army to control the four southern counties, they could only attack one county at a time.

With the sharp siege equipment of the Far Eastern Army, it is not difficult to attack these counties. Basically, it takes three or four days to attack these counties.

So, nearly a month later, Hanzhong County has left the county town that Li Shimin personally garrisoned.

So far, the Li family's army guarding the county city alone has more than 30,000 people. However, Qushi City, where Hanzhong County and Champion County meet, is still firmly in the hands of Li's army. Xu Shiji is not in a hurry to attack. The Central Committee mobilized 10,000 people to re-campus outside Qushi City to stare.

Besides Hanzhong County, Xu Shiji led nearly 50,000 troops, of which 20,000 were barbarian cavalry.

Since ancient times, under normal circumstances, it is difficult for an army of 50,000 to conquer a city defended by 30,000 horses, but it will be different if the siege is replaced by the Far East Army.

The Far Eastern Army has such self-confidence, and the Li family army guarding the city also has such worries and fears, so morale is not very high. If it weren't for Li Shimin's personal prestige in the army, he is very good at winning people's hearts and gathering talents For his own use, and willing to die for him, the morale of the army has long since collapsed.

But when Li Shimin got the news that his third younger brother Li Yuanji was in command of the 50,000 reinforcements, the morale of the army did not collapse, and Li Shimin himself almost collapsed.

In front of the generals, Li Shimin remained calm, thinking that reinforcements would arrive soon and take the lead in cheering and boosting the morale of the army, but when he returned to his resting place in the city (the palace built by Zhu Can before), he was the only one left. When he was with Changsun Wuji, his face was already extremely gloomy.

"Father is really confused, he even sent Yuan Ji to lead the army to support." Li Shimin gritted his teeth when he said this.

Changsun Wuji also frowned tightly, shook his head and said, "This shouldn't be! His Royal Highness Tang Wang has always been wise and powerful, and although those old guys are sometimes a bit pedantic, they shouldn't make such mistakes. !”

Li Shimin let out a breath slowly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and let himself regain his absolute sanity. Some aristocratic families have secretly joined Wang Junlin, and the military intelligence office of the Far Eastern Army has clearly grasped Yuan Ji's stupidity and the fact that he has been jealous of me. The thing about the idiot leading the troops."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, and nodded slightly. This possibility is very high, and after careful consideration, it is the only possibility.

"Fortunately, my father transferred Hou Junji from Heifengguan, and he will follow Yuanji. I don't think there will be any major problems." Li Shimin sighed, and suddenly felt a little powerless. Those who are always able to take the lead in front of him, their various preparations and layout plans will be smashed in the end in a daze.

On the blue sea, a huge ship belonging to the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce of the Far East Army is advancing on the sea surface. The strong monsoon is blowing the sails, fast and smooth, and it is okay to sail along the coastline. In the sea area you have been to, you need to move forward carefully.

A sailor had himself tied to the bow of the ship, holding a flexible rope with numbers in his hand, he kept throwing the lead weight into the sea, and then lifted it up again, reporting the numbers one by one, Mr. Accountant on the ship marked these numbers one by one on a huge chart.

Some sailors lay down on the deck and wiped the deck very carefully. If the deck is not cleaned carefully, it will seriously affect the service life of the ship.

Although the sea water does not freeze in spring, it is very windy at sea, and no one wants to enjoy sunbathing in this season.

Except for the sailors of the Fan Yang Chamber of Commerce and a few vigilant guards, there were not many people on the deck.

There is a small palace-like building on the giant ship. In the spacious hall in the middle, Wang Junlin is lying on Nie Xiaoyu's lap. The latter is gently pinching Wang Junlin's shoulders. Besides, there is no one else.

"Xiaoyu, then Li Shimin will definitely think that the powerful family loyal to their Li family has secretly served me, and then pushed Li Yuanji to the position of the chief reinforcements going to Hanzhong according to my intention." Wang Junlin enjoyed Nie Xiaoyu Just the right massage, while talking, thinking about the two people who have been busy with their own things these years, unlike when they first met more than ten years ago, Xiao Yu often played the role of maid, thinking about it now, I really miss it!

"Deducing all the original history and the information we have collected over the years with big data, Li Shimin will definitely think so." Nie Xiaoyu looked as cold as usual, but her eyes were brighter than usual A lot, it seems that she also enjoys this kind of world and intimate interaction with Wang Junlin.

Nie Xiaoyu pressed Wang Junlin's temples with both hands, and Wang Junlin closed his eyes slightly comfortably, and said, "This can't really be blamed on Li Shimin, but no one would have thought that you could quietly make Li Jiancheng give birth to the first baby." Two personalities."

Nie Xiaoyu said: "Speaking of which, the process of hypnotizing Li Jiancheng and hinting at his psychological depth, helping him build a second personality is really smooth, and this Li Jiancheng's will is only about the same as that of ordinary people."

"In this way, Li Shimin will feel hatred towards some powerful families because of the upcoming battle in Hanzhong County. , but in fact the powerful families who are still on the sidelines will completely join us." Wang Junlin said with a look of expectation, he knew the battle in Hanzhong County, and with Li Yuanji as a shit-stirring stick, Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin would sooner or later conquer Hanzhong County The city was conquered, but it was almost impossible for Li Shimin to kill or capture him alive.

So, he used all forces to send Li Yuanji to Hanzhong County, not only to help Xu Shiji and the others conquer Hanzhong County City as soon as possible, but also to make arrangements for Li Shimin after he returned to Chang'an City.

………

Li Yuanji and Hou Junji led 50,000 elite soldiers across the Qinling Mountains and traveled southward. After six days, they finally entered Hanzhong County.

The mountains are up and down all the way, here

The shape of the mountain is thin and lush, with gurgling streams flowing down from the mountain. Compared with the mountains in Guanzhong, the mountains here are a bit more beautiful.

In the middle surrounded by mountains, there is a large field, which is full of green rice. The huge waterwheel beside the gully is slowly turning, and countless farmers are busy in the field.

Li Yuanji led a brigade of cavalry to rush towards them. The horses galloped with a murderous look, trampled on the farmland, rushed across the field, and rushed into a shallow river, causing waves of water. In the eyes of the busy farmers in the rice fields With frightened expressions on their faces, many people screamed and fled into the distance.

Of course Hou Junji knew it was not good to do so, but he would not do it for the sake of dissuading Li Yuanji, who was not easy to talk to these untouchables.

The leader of this army, Li Yuanji, is twenty-one years old. As far as he is concerned, he is actually very good at bowing horses, and he has also been familiar with military books since he was a child. Hou Junji found that the staff around Li Yuanji seemed to be quite talented, so the worries in his heart dissipated a little along the way.

However, Li Yuanji's civil and military skills are only based on paper and words, because he has no actual combat experience, but along the way, in addition to trampling on the people's fertile land, with the help of his staff, Hou Junji has also He didn't intervene too much, and found that Li Yuanji was cautious and careful all the way. He would not do any risky things, and the defense was tight, and he considered all aspects extremely thoughtfully.

This made Hou Junji secretly think whether he had misunderstood the third son before, and then thought about how the son of the king of Tang would be an ordinary person. Although the eldest son puts more emphasis on cultural governance, he is also recognized as talented in governing the country.

Unknowingly, with the help of the staff around him, Li Yuanji has gained some trust and approval from Hou Junji.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, the deputy general Hou Junji stepped forward to Li Yuanji, clasped his fists and said: "Third son, the spies reported that there is a canyon about twenty miles away from here, which is suitable for camping. Do you want to go all the way to the canyon and camp?"

Li Yuanji looked at the terrain. The terrain in this area is open. There is a small river two miles to the south, and a dark mountain range is more than ten miles ahead. He was a little uncertain, so he glanced at the staff next to him , the staff member nodded imperceptibly, and he immediately shook his head confidently and said: "General Hou, it is too dangerous to walk in the mountains at night, and it is easy to be attacked by the Far Eastern Army. I think it is better to camp on the spot." Well, it’s not too late to continue marching after dawn.”

Hou Junji frowned slightly, and looked around at the terrain here. He wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Li Yuanji's attitude was very firm, he thought about Li Yuanji's performance this way, so he decided to I don't want to say anything more.

Seeing that Hou Junji had nothing to say, Li Yuanji felt relieved, but before he finished what he wanted to say, he continued: "Now that we have arrived in Hanzhong County, we must defend against the Wagang camp at any time. Cavalry sneak attack, and the Far East Army also has that special force team, which is best at night sneak attacks. General Hou has suffered from the special force team's losses, and he should know how powerful it is. Besides, there are mountains ahead, dense forests, and crossing mountains at night is a taboo for soldiers. So, we should be very careful, what does General Hou think?"
