"The second person to enter this time: the famous Xiongnu military strategist Modu Shanyu, with a command score of 96, a force of 99, an intelligence of 89, and a politics of 78. The current implanted identity is Temujin's adopted son."
"Modun Shanyu is born!"
Yang Gao couldn't help but clicked his tongue. Maodun was the most famous military strategist in the early Xiongnu period. He unified the northern grasslands for the first time and established a huge and powerful Xiongnu Empire.
In his early years, Mingdi killed his father and established himself as a chanyu. He destroyed Donghu, chased the Yueshi, annexed Loufan, reoccupied Hetao, conquered the Hungeng, Qushe, Dingling, Gekun, and Xinli kingdoms. He had more than 300,000 string-controllers. Establish hegemony.
The most famous thing about Maodun is the Siege of Baideng. In the seventh year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang personally led the troops to attack the Xiongnu. He fell into Maodun's trick of luring the enemy and was besieged by Maodun's 400,000 troops on Baideng Mountain for seven days and seven nights.
It was also the defeat of the Han army at the Siege of Baideng that made Liu Bang pay attention to the military power of the Xiongnu, and at the same time started the humiliating peace policy in the early Western Han Dynasty.
"The third person involved in this chaos: It is said that Di Lei, a fierce general of the Yue Family Army in Yue Quan's biography, has a command of 82, a force of 97, an intelligence of 65, and a politics of 49. The current implanted identity is Di Qing's son."
Di Lei is one of the four powerful and eight powerful generals of the Yue Army, the Bronze Hammer General. He worked with Guan Ling and Fan Cheng to defeat Jin Wushu in Zhuxian Town and broke through the Golden Dragon Formation.
Yue Lei swept north and worked together to kill Jin Dynasty general Nian Deli, and killed Jin Dynasty general Ha Tongwu in the Oolong Formation battle. He accomplished many meritorious deeds and was named the chief military officer after returning to the court in victory.
"Ding dong, this intrusion is over. Reward characters will be selected for the host. Please wait patiently..."
"Ding dong, the system selection is completed. Congratulations to the host for acquiring Zhang Han, a famous general from the late Qin Dynasty. Command is 95, force is 98, intelligence is 80, and politics is 65. The current implanted identity is Yue Fei's general."
Zhang Han was the last famous general of the Qin Dynasty. Ever since he was ordered to lead Lishan prisoners and slaves to attack Chen Sheng's rebel army Zhou Wenbu, he had won many battles and annihilated Chen Sheng. He successively attacked and killed the anti-Qin armed leaders Wei Jiu, Tian Dan, Xiang Liang.
However, Zhang Han's fate was not good. He ran into Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Han Xin, the military immortal. First, he was defeated by Xiang Yu in the Battle of Julu, and later he was defeated by Han Xin, who brutally killed himself. .
. . . . . . . . . .
Bi Zaiyu and Shanshi Tuo were killed one after another. The Sui army's momentum was even higher. Under the command of Li Jing, they bravely moved forward, broke through the Tang army's formation, divided and surrounded the Tang army, and defeated them one by one.
After nearly three hours of fierce fighting, the more than 10,000 elite troops led by Bi Zaiyu were almost completely wiped out, but they bought precious time for Li Shimin's main force.
The battlefield was filled with dust and flames, with bloody corpses everywhere, wounded horses everywhere, and broken flags fluttering in the hunting north wind.
"General, do you want to continue to pursue Li Shimin?"
Li Jing shook his head and said: "The Ziwu Ancient Road is steep and difficult to navigate. Li Shimin only needs to leave a partial division to occupy the dangerous point, and our army will have to pay several times the price to break through. This is not worth the gain!"
"Nan Lieutenant Generals are good at crossing mountains and ridges. General Di Qing, could you please lead eight thousand Nan Lieutenant Generals to pursue the Tang Army on the Ziwu Ancient Road? You don't have to engage in a head-on battle with the main force of the Tang Army. You only need to harass them day and night, and escape as soon as you succeed. The Ziwu Ancient Road is steep and difficult to pass. , it is not conducive to the movement of the army, and over time it can also make the Tang army crippled."
Di Qing nodded, accepted the order and left.
"Tubo took advantage of the Tang army's attack on Shu before sending troops to get a share of the rich plains of Bashu. Now that the Tang army has been defeated, Tubo will never have the courage to face our Bashu army independently. Send an order to Su Dingfang and order him to guard the pass. If Tubo retreats, No pursuit is allowed, and we will settle the bloody score with the Tubo people when we arrive."
"Immediately send an order to General Li Su. The Tang army is defeated, and our army can take the opportunity to capture Hanzhong. Let him be the vanguard and send troops to Hanzhong!"
. . . . . . . . . .
The Tang Dynasty prepared for half a year, and the vigorous southern expedition to Bashu with 200,000 troops ended in a disastrous defeat. Li Jilong, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, Bi Zaiyu, Shan Shituo, Fan Kuai, Zhang Fei, Tian Zaibiao, Taishi Ci, Li Rusong and many other generals fought More than a thousand middle-level and low-level officers were killed and captured, and all grain, grass, baggage, and weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the Sui army.
Li Shimin only led less than 60,000 soldiers and horses to withdraw from Bashu from the Ziwu Ancient Road. Along the way, they were constantly attacked by the Sui army who were walking in the mountains as if they were on the ground. There were hundreds or even nearly a thousand casualties every day.
While Li Shimin was still marching hard on the rugged mountain road, Li Jing had already led the victorious division to the north. The front vanguard Li Su led his army out of Jianmen, pointing directly at Hanzhong.
There were only two lieutenants of Li Jilong in Hanzhong, Li Cunshen and Li Guangyan, who had previously retreated from Brazil. They had no more than 20,000 to 30,000 troops. When they heard that Li Shimin was defeated and the Sui army marched northward, they were horrified and could only force the civilians to repair it. City defense, while urgently reporting to Chang'an to request reinforcements.
When the news reached Chang'an, Li Yuan's eyes darkened when he heard the words, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. If the imperial doctor had not timed the rescue, he would have almost died!
"The people of the world have misunderstood me! The people of the world have misunderstood me!"
After waking up, Li Yuan slapped the edge of the bed and shouted loudly. This time during the southern expedition to Bashu, the Tang Dynasty could be said to have had its entire family held hostage. Li Shimin had everything he asked for, including people and food, but what happened? In the defeat of Brazil, Li Jilong, the actual number two figure in the Tang Dynasty military, was killed in battle, Jianmen was gained and lost, clan member Li Rusong died in battle, Mianzhu was defeated miserably, and more than half of the main force of the Tang army was lost.
From the fierce battle at Jianmen Pass to the successive tragic defeats, the Tang army killed nearly 100,000 prisoners, which made Li Shimin completely lose Li Yuan's trust.
Li Jiancheng on the side looked gloomy. Although Li Shimin had always been eyeing his position as prince, now that Li Shimin had lost Li Yuan's trust, he should have been excited, but Li Jiancheng was not a short-sighted person. Because Bashu's defeat this time was so miserable, Tang Jun The vitality of the Tang Dynasty was seriously damaged, and the Tang Dynasty was almost doomed.
"Father, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible. The tens of thousands of troops and horses led by the second brother are still on the Ziwu Ancient Road, and the Sui army has invaded Hanzhong in a large scale. The top priority is to coordinate the second brother's withdrawal to Guanzhong as soon as possible to preserve the last bit of our army's vitality, and to mobilize additional troops Ma went south to support Hanzhong."
"Where are the troops and horses that can be mobilized?"
Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "All the twelve elite soldiers in Guanzhong were taken to Bashu by the people. How many troops and horses are there in Guanzhong now? Is it possible to send out Chang'an's garrison and my imperial guard army? What will happen to Chang'an? My The palace can now allow thieves to come and go freely!"
"His Majesty."
Prime Minister Pei Ji, who was also serving nearby, said: "Wei Chen suggests that it is better to send the Chang'an garrison south, and then recruit new troops to garrison Chang'an!"
"His Majesty!"
After Li Jiancheng died, Han Qi, the Minister of Household Affairs, came out helplessly and said: "Previously, Luoyang was defeated. In order to replenish the twelve guards and horses, there was a forced recruitment. Now in Guanzhong, there are very few young people under the age of forty. , if we continue to forcibly recruit troops, I am worried that the people in Guanzhong will flee elsewhere in large numbers!"
