In order to put pressure on Li Yuan, 70,000 Turkic cavalry, led by Ashina Simo, marched southward from Lingwu County and launched an offensive against Li Gui's hometown Wuwei County. At this time, Li Gui's main force was attacking Xue Ju.

The rear was empty, and the Turkic army's attack made Li Gui retreat in panic. He gave up the siege of Xue Ju, and Ashina Simo annihilated more than 30,000 people on the way. He fled to Xiping, and Ashina Simo pursued him.

, stormed Xiping, and Li Gui was forced to retreat to Zhangye County. At the same time, Xue Wanjun led another 50,000 Turkic troops and captured Huining County.

Xue Ju took advantage of the situation to counterattack, defeated Wang Junkuo in Longxi County, and killed more than two Tang soldiers. The morale of the Western Qin army was high, and the troops divided into two groups to attack the 20,000 Tang troops stationed in Zhang County and Xiangwu County. Wang Junkuo was unable to support himself and was forced to go to Tianshui.

After retreating from the county pass, the Western Qin army made a vigorous effort to recapture Longxi County and Jincheng County. They joined forces with Xue Wanjun at Shanggui in Tianshui County, stormed Li Shimin's headquarters, annihilated the main Tang army of more than 30,000 followers, and launched an offensive towards Dazhenguan.

Liang Shidu's 40,000-strong army, led by Liang Luoren and Xin Li'er respectively, marched from Pingliang County to Anding County, and captured Ding'an County along the Jing River from north to south.

At the same time, another cavalry group of the Sui army, led by Xue Wanche, marched from Shangjun to Beidi County, advanced toward Guanzhong along Ziwu Mountain, and captured Ding'an City. Three days later, they and Liang Luoren besieged Xinping County. Sun Hua, the governor of Beidi County, organized an

The civilians defended the city and urgently asked Li Yuan for help.

Li Jing, on the other hand, led his troops south and entered Yijun County, Jingzhao, planning to lure Dou Kang out of the city and annihilate more than 30,000 elite soldiers!

Crisis appeared in the west, northwest and north at the same time. Guanzhong was shaken and people were panicked. The severe situation made Li Yuan anxious.

The four porters carried the carriage and stopped at Wudedian Square. The carriage was put down, and a guard carefully helped Dugu Zheng out of the carriage.

Dugu's face was expressionless, and there was a strong look of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He was deeply dissatisfied with Li Yuan. He thought that Li Yuan's foundation was unstable, so he spread the stall so big that it now leaked from all sides.

Although he also agreed with Li Yuan to fight for Bashu, where there was no big power, so as to find a new grain-producing area for Guanzhong, Li Yuan assured him that nothing would happen to Guanzhong on the premise of defeating Xue Ju, but Guanzhong

Now except for the south, there are dangers on all three sides...

Dugu Zheng felt that it was necessary to have a good talk with Li Yuan.

In the side hall!

Li Yuanzheng held urgent discussions with Liu Wenjing and Li Jiancheng. The severe situation made Li Yuan lose weight and his hair became gray.

"Although Xue Ju is attacking Dazhen Pass, he suffered too much in the early stage. As long as we hold on to Dazhen Pass, Xue Ju will retreat soon. I have no doubt about this, so we should focus on defending Xue Ju. There is no need to

If he takes it too seriously, his next step will be to take a break and attack Li Gui to avenge him; as for Liang Shidu, it is more of a gesture forced by the Sui army!"

This is the conclusion that Li Yuan came to after thinking hard for a long time. As the hero of the party, Li Yuan has a vision that is difficult for ordinary people to see and sees the problem more thoroughly. Therefore, his idea is not unreasonable. In this way, three are eliminated and two are left.

The most powerful Sui army.

When Li Jiancheng saw his father silent for a long time, he knew what he was worried about, and said in a deep voice: "This is obviously a war led by the Northern Sui Dynasty. If the Sui army does not retreat, this battlefield will not end; even if there is no Xue Ju, Liang Shidu will

, the Sui Army can continue to fight the war. If we don’t understand the Sui Army’s true intentions, we won’t know how to deal with it or how to negotiate.”

I have to say that Li Jiancheng was on to the point, because this time the Sui army dispatched 150,000 troops and 100,000 Turkic soldiers, a total of 250,000 elite forces. They were definitely not here for fun. The Sui army knew very well that Li Jiancheng

With insufficient follow-up, could the Tang army let go of this opportunity to seize Guanzhong?

Li Yuan rubbed his brows and had a severe headache! The 250,000 elite troops definitely did not come to see the scenery of Guanzhong. And if the Sui army does not leave, the war will not end and Guanzhong will not be stable. I cannot understand the true nature of the Sui army.

There is no way to even talk about the intention!

It has to be said that due to the emergence of Yang Tong, Li Yuan was ten thousand times more difficult than in history. In history, Li Yuan immediately ascended the throne as emperor after Yang Guang's death, and then dominated the world with the power of Mount Tai. The fundamental reason was not that Li Yuan led

The Tang army is so powerful, but his enemies are too weak. They are either half-crippled rebels like Xue Ju, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, and Du Fuwei, or half-crippled rebels like Yu Wenji and Wang Shichong.

, so Li Yuan was able to reunify the world in a short period of time, but now with the unexpected existence of Yang Tong, Li Yuan has been in trouble from the beginning. Not to mention unifying the world, even Guan Long had to

Before reunification, there was only one Guanzhong territory, and it was always threatened by Yang Tong.

Liu Wenjing said slowly: "I thought that the Sui army was just posing and had no intention of beating us to death."

Liu Wenjing's words were like a beautiful note, which made Li Yuan listen and asked urgently: "Zhao Ren, how can you see this?"

To be honest, Li Yuan is really desperate!

"I can see this from Yang Tong's political thoughts." Liu Wenjing said solemnly: "You can see his intentions through Yang Tong's political thoughts. He intends to use the chaos to overthrow all the old aristocratic families.

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, aristocratic families have controlled the court and local status quo, thus passing on the victory of Guo Zuo! This is a continuation of Yang Guang's thoughts, but Yang Tong is more ruthless than Yang Guang.

Guang only used the battle of Goguryeo to consume the strength of Guanlong's powerful army and chop off their wings, while Yang Tong directly swung the butcher's knife at the family members. In order to achieve this extremely crazy goal, only by completely destroying the entire world can all kinds of people be destroyed.

Policies that benefit the people will be successfully implemented."

"Yang Tong's ideal Guanzhong is not a stable Guanzhong, but a Guanzhong with no roosters crowing for hundreds of miles, because if Guanzhong is stable, he will lose the reason to kill the powerful people of Guanlong and kill people indiscriminately without any excuse. This is

The world will definitely continue to be in chaos." Liu Wenjing's eyes flashed, and she sighed: "To put it bluntly, the enemy in Yang Tong's heart is not the Holy One, but the Guanlong dignitaries! He needs the Holy One to guide him, and then pull down the Guanlong dignitaries one by one.

When it comes to the bright side, it can finally be destroyed in one fell swoop with justifiable reasons. To put it bluntly, Yang Tong feels that it is not the time to attack the Holy One, and this is what we rely on."

Li Jiancheng nodded suddenly, his face was calm and his eyes were a little misty.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Although I am despised by Yang Tong and used as a knife, I, Li Yuan, am not that easy to bully. The more this happens, the less I will let him succeed."

Li Jiancheng finally couldn't help but said: "But father, if this continues, it will become more and more disadvantageous for us."

"You mean the powerful people in Guanlong." Li Yuan was not a fool, and he immediately understood the key meaning.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "The powerful people in Guanlong can support my Li family, or they can support others. If there is no hope..."

Before he finished speaking, a guard reported at the door: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Dugu wants to see you!"

"Invite him in!"

Li Yuan did not dare to neglect Dugu Zheng. Dugu Zheng was not only his uncle, but also one of his biggest supporters.

Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing and said with a wry smile: "The pressure is coming, you two should step back first!"

"Here!"
Chapter completed!
