Chapter 592 Rapid progress
After Li Yuan officially announced his uprising to "rescue the Sui Dynasty", he sent two brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to take the lead in seizing Xihe County, which borders the southwest of Taiyuan County, and killing the county magistrate Gao Deru. Then Li Yuan called himself the general and named his eldest son Li Jian the Duke of Longxi, and his second son Li Shimin was Duke of Dunhuang, and officially led an army of 30,000 to Guanzhong.
Li Yuan was very fast and led his army to attack Hedong County from the Fenhe Valley Road, which is Pei Xingyan's hometown. However, Li Yuan's luck was a little bit unforgettable. At this time, it was raining continuously. And it took nearly a month to make up for all the rain that had not been drought in the first half of the year.
It was broken, the road was muddy and slippery, the marching speed was severely hindered, and the supplies could not be transported. But at this time, there were rumors that Liu Wuzhou colluded with the Turks and was preparing to attack Li Yuan's old nest Jinyang. When Li Yuan learned about it, he was panicked and prepared to withdraw his troops to rescue Jinyang. However, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin disagreed, and the latter even knelt down in front of the central army's tent and cried bitterly.
The rain was still falling, and Li Shimin was poured into a slut. He had been kneeling for a day and a night, his face was pale, but he was still gritting his teeth and persevering. Li Shimin was always full of energy and was full of enthusiasm for doing anything. He would not give up until he achieved his goal. This is his advantage.
The heavy rain was pouring down the ground, and the rain blurred Li Shimin's vision. He suddenly felt a little cold and couldn't help but tremble. He felt that he was about to be unable to hold it. Just when he bit his tongue and cheered up, he found that the rain had stopped. It was not that the rain had stopped, but that someone held an umbrella for him to block the rain.
Li Shimin slowly looked up and saw his father Li Yuan holding an umbrella, looking at him with sympathy, and cried with joy: "Dad, I know you will definitely come out."
Li Yuan sighed and said, "Shimin, why are you so stubborn!"
Li Shimin cried and said, "It's not that the child is stubborn, it's really life and death. He has no turning back. His father swore an army to seize Guanzhong. Now that he just encountered some difficulties in sending troops, he will retreat. The morale of the three armies will definitely be lost. Even if he returns to the army to save Jinyang, what's the use of sleeping all night. Once this opportunity is lost, there is no possibility of advancing towards Guanzhong. Over time, people will inevitably be dispersed. At that time, disaster will come and the demise is imminent, and no one in the family can survive!"
Li Yuan was shocked when he heard this, gritted his teeth secretly, leaned over and helped Li Shimin up and said, "Shimin, you are right, your father is confused, and it's better, let's continue to enter the army to Guanzhong. Whether you are alive or dead, it depends on your destiny!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed and cried with joy!
By chance, after Li Yuan agreed to continue to advance to Guanzhong, the next day it became clear, and military food and supplies were transported from Jinyang one after another. Liu Wenjing, who was on a mission to the Turks, also rushed back. Not only did he get the support of Shibi Khan, but he also brought back two thousand war horses.
Li Yuan couldn't help but feel excited. With the support of Turkish Shibi Khan, he had no worries anymore and immediately continued to advance westward and headed straight to Huoyi!
Some people may ask, didn’t the Turks support Liu Wuzhou? Why did they support Li Yuan?
In fact, this is not a conflict. Shibi Khan's purpose was to subvert the Great Sui Dynasty. Whether it was Liu Wuzhou or Li Yuan, they were all anti-Sui Dynasty. Shibi Khan naturally supported him strongly and even did not hesitate to help.
Of course, Shibi Khan also had no profit to get up early. Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan must have promised him certain benefits. Moreover, since Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan both rely on Shibi Khan's support, Shibi Khan can gain his own benefits by influencing Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan.
What's more, a warlord-severing Great Sui Dynasty would definitely be better controlled than a unified Great Sui Dynasty. Shibi Khan supported Liu Wuzhou and Li Yuan at the same time, and fought the idea of splitting the Great Sui Dynasty. This was a common trick used by the "powers".
Let’s talk about Li Yuan’s march to Huoyi and met the tenacious resistance of Song Laosheng, the general of the Huya Lang of the Sui Dynasty. This old Song was quite good at it and led an army of 30,000 to form an array outside Huocheng to fight the Tang army. The fierce battle lasted for more than ten days without a distinction. Moreover, Song Laosheng also gained the upper hand.
At this time, Song Laosheng began to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, saying that Li Yuan was just like this, but Li Yuan had been preserving his strength. On this day, Li Yuan suddenly attacked, and Li Shimin personally led a thousand Xuan-armored Iron Cavalry to attack, while Li Jiancheng and Yin Kaishan each led a cavalry to Song Laosheng's rear army to cut off the retreat route.
Under several attacks, Song Laosheng was defeated and was killed by the Xuan Armored Iron Cavalry on the spot. Thirty thousand Sui soldiers died and surrendered!
The Tang army marched into Linfen with the power of victory, conquered Jiang County, and went straight to Longmen County. The prefectures and counties along Hebei surrendered one after another. The Tang army's power was greatly shocked, and its troops soared by more than 100,000. It surrounded Hedong County like a rainbow. Qu Tutong, the governor of Hedong County, had to defend Yingcheng.
The Tang army had been attacking Hedong County for a long time and could not bear the control of the county. Li Yuan discussed with a group of advisers and felt that he should not continue to waste time in Hedong, so he left only one army to continue besieging Hedong, and then led the main force of the Tang army to continue westward and attack Chang'an.
Li Yuan's move was undoubtedly extremely wise. In early July of the 13th year of Daye, all the troops led by Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing took the lead in conquering Yongfeng Cang and defending Tongguan. Then, another troops led by Li Shimin and Liu Hongji plundered the north bank of the Wei River and formed a clamp-shaped offensive against Chang'an.
Li Yuan was originally a nobleman in Guanzhong. At this time, his relatives in Guanzhong also raised troops to respond to Li Yuan. First, Li Yuan's third daughter Li Xiuning (Princess Pingyang), married Chai Shao. This woman is amazing. She is as good as a man. She spends all her family wealth in E County to recruit despairs, and like a snowball, she has raised an army of 70,000 people. She is really awesome.
Secondly, Li Yuan's cousin Li Shentong, who also raised troops in E County and raised nearly 10,000 people. Secondly, Li Yuan's son-in-law Duan Lun, raised troops in Lantian County to respond to the Tang army. The major geniuses in Guanzhong also took refuge. For a time, the Tang army's momentum was at its peak and successfully controlled the three auxiliary forces.
In October of the 13th year of Daye, Li Yuan led his army to the outside of Chang'an City. All parties joined forces to 200,000 troops to siege Chang'an, repaired the combat equipment, and prepared to take Chang'an down in one fell swoop.
At this time, Yang Guang was trapped in Jiangdu, and Luoyang was besieged by the Wagang army. He was unable to protect himself and had no extra troops to support Chang'an. Therefore, Li Yuan had taken a huge advantage in attacking Guanzhong at this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to attack outside Chang'an City in just a few months. The rapid progress was really shocking, and now he was the last tremor left.
Li Mi, who was besieging the Eastern Capital, couldn't help but vomit blood when she learned that Li Yuan had attacked the city of Chang'an.
By the way, Li Mi was also a nobleman in Guanlong. He originally wanted to bypass Dongdu and take Guanzhong first, but most of the soldiers under his command were from Central Plains or Shandong, and they were unhappy to give up the territory they had obtained and went to Guanzhong. Li Mi was also worried that when he led his troops to attack Guanzhong, the generals responsible for the staying behind would break away from his control and take the opportunity to stand on the mountain. After hesitating, Guanzhong gave it to Li Yuan.
However, Li Yuan is also very good at being a human being, for fear that Li Mi would take the opportunity to attack, so he wrote a letter to Li Yuan, which roughly means that my surname is Li, and you are also Li. Everyone is of the same clan in Guanzhong. I, Li Yuan, respect you Li Mi as my elder brother, please accept my respect!
After reading Li Yuan's letter, Li Mi found that the other party had admitted his condolences and pretended to be a grandson. He felt relieved, so he gave up the idea of sending troops to stab Li Yuan's chrysanthemum, and planned to take Luoyang first and then settle the score with Li Yuan slowly.
In this way, Li Mi gained face but lost her inner self, while Li Yuan pretended to be a descendant but got the inner self and could attack Chang'an City without any worries.
Just as Li Yuan was robbing the territory without any rush, Gao Bufan was naturally not idle. General Li Jing of the Right Guard led his army to capture Hengshan County and Zhao County, extending the power of Qi to the foot of the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains.
Originally, Li Jing took the position of Right Sima and Right Guard General. Many people complained, especially Cheng Yaojin, who was both new to him, who was the one who was new to him, and he was the most dissatisfied. Everyone was new. Why was Li Jing's position higher than that of my elder Cheng? Now that Li Jing took two counties in one go, everyone was finally convinced. Cheng Yaojin didn't dare to fart any more.
Since Li Jing captured Hengshan County and Zhao County, Dou Jiande was also anxious, fearing that Li Jing's "perverted" situation would also take down Xiangguo County. Because of this, Xindu County was in danger of being surrounded by Qi's army, so Dou Jiande took the lead in sending troops to attack Xiangguo County and wrote to Li Jing, warning Li Jing not to lead the troops south again. Xiangguo County is my Dou Jiande's dish. According to the agreement of alliance between the two sides, the Qi army could no longer attack Xiangguo County.
The two sides had an alliance agreement, and Dou Jiande was Gao Bufan's father-in-law, so Li Jing naturally had to give up the idea of continuing to go south to capture Xiang County. However, Hengshan County and Zhao County had been digested for a while, so Li Jing simply pulled down his troops and rested while stepping up training.
Now all kinds of heroes are stepping up their territories, and time is too late. Li Jing is over forty years old and has no talent. He has just started to warm up and is about to show his skills. How could he miss such a good opportunity?

There is another update today
Some people died, but not completely...
After an endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to see the latest chapter content, please download it. The latest chapter content is free of advertisements. The website no longer updates the latest chapter content, but has already updated the latest chapter content of the Aiyue app.
He breathed fresh air in his mouth, and his chest trembled.
Confused and puzzled, all kinds of emotions surged into my heart.
Where is this?
Then, Shi Yu subconsciously observed the surroundings and became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he successfully received rescue, he should be in the ward now.
And his own body...how could he be injured at all?
With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept through the room quickly, and finally his eyes stopped on a mirror at the head of the bed.
The mirror shows his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looks very handsome.
But the problem is that this is not him! I used to be a handsome young man in his twenties and had been working for a while.
Now, no matter how you look at this, you are just the age of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation is successful...
My body and appearance have changed. This is not a problem of not having surgery or not, but a magic trick.
He turned into another person completely!
Could it be... that I have traveled through time by myself?
In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed with obvious feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to him.
Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it. The title of the book instantly made him silent.
"Beast breeding manual for beginners"
"Pet postpartum care"
"A Guide to Evaluation of the Different Race Beast Ear Girl"
Shi Yu:???
The names of the first two books are quite normal, what happened to you in the last book?
"cough."
Shi Yu's eyes sterned and he stretched out his hand, but his arms quickly froze.
Just as he wanted to open the third book and see what it was, his brain suddenly stinged, and a large number of memories emerged like a tide.
Iceland City.
Pet animal feeding base.
Intern pet breeder and beast wardrobe?
