    "Your Majesty, Xue Wanche has captured Jingyang City and snatched more than 70,000 stones of military rations from the city. :3w." Zhang Xuansu, who had returned from Xue Wanche's army, hurriedly reported the good news to Li Chongjiu regardless of his fatigue.

    Hearing the news, except for Li Chongjiu who just nodded with satisfaction, the other generals in the tent could not help but be overjoyed.

    Himekawa couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, 70,000 shi of military rations are enough to feed an army of 200,000 people for a month."

    "It doesn't stop there. If I defeat the enemy for one minute, I will take twenty."

    "It seems that Li Shimin's military use is nothing more than this. If he is more ruthless and does not set up a granary in Jingyang, then how can our army obtain military rations?"

    All the generals were overjoyed. After Zhao Jun captured the Jingyang granary, he set up a defensive position north of Chang'an and stood ready.

    And Li Shimin¡¯s main army has also arrived.  The main force of one hundred thousand Tang troops arrived west of Jingyang.

    The battle flags were waving on the plain. On the other hand, Fang Xuanling personally supervised the 20,000 Tang troops guarding Chang'an and came to the east of Jingyang to join the Tang troops.

    Li Shimin is sitting high on the horse, wearing a hunting robe.

    Fang Xuanling came to Li Shimin, knelt at the foot of his horse and said, "Your Majesty, this humble minister deserves death."

    Li Shimin jumped off his horse, helped Fang Xuanling up and said, "Ai Qing got up to speak, but you blame yourself for what happened in Jingyangcang?"

    Fang Xuanling lowered his head and said: "Exactly, the minister did not carry out your majesty's order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. He forgot that it was July, the season of summer grain harvest, so he ordered the soldiers and civilians to harvest the summer grain outside Jingyang City and station it in  In the warehouse, Zhao Jun unexpectedly noticed it and finally fell into the hands of the enemy."

    Li Shimin laughed when he heard this, patted Fang Xuanling's arms and said with a smile: "Fang Qing, why put the responsibility on one person? I am also responsible for this. If I could lead the army back from Fufeng earlier, not only could I save  Jingyang City can still defeat Li Chongjiu's 30,000 troops outside the city. It's just a pity that it's one step behind. It can only be regarded as Xue Wanche's good luck."

    Seeing that Li Shimin took the responsibility on himself, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be grateful.

    Changsun Wuji on the side said: "Your Majesty, Fang Gong, why worry, we will take back Jingyang in one battle. Zhao Jun has just captured Jingyang, and his troops are very tired. We can kill him by surprise."

    Du Ruhui said: "General Changsun, I just saw the Zhao army's camp below. It is well-built and built around Jingyang City. If it were to attack suddenly, the Zhao army would probably have the advantage of the geographical advantage. Moreover, Li Chongjiu led the main force to Jingyang City on the 30th."  Arrange formations inside and outside, if we attack Jingyang now, he will lead his troops to reinforce us at any time."

    Li Shimin nodded immediately after hearing Du Ruhui's words and said: "What Du Qing said makes sense. You all will observe the formation with me first and then make a decision."

    After finishing speaking, Li Shimin led his generals to the Jingshui River.  Watch the Zhao army's formation.  After watching for a while, Li Shimin said to the generals: "I originally thought that Xue Wanche was a tiger general who was good at attacking. I didn't expect that this camp was actually built with no water exposed, so we have to take advantage of the opportunity to attack. Difficult!"

    Seeing that Xue Wanche's camp was fully built, the generals were a little embarrassed, but they all nodded when they heard what Li Shimin said.

    "It's just a matter of dealing with Zhao Jun. I'm not helpless!" Li Shimin turned around and said, "Shi Danai obeys the order!"

    "No!" A general came out.

    Li Shimin said to him: "You lead your cavalry. Cross the river from the upper reaches of Jingshui River and make a detour to the Zhao army's Sanyuan County camp. If the Zhao army attacks, no engagement is allowed!"

    Li Chongjiu Sanyuan camp.

    With the help of 50,000 civilians who had newly crossed the Yellow River, Li Chongjiu's Sanyuan Camp was completed.

    He Chou, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, proposed a temporary field fortification made of wood and built into a double-layer board wall, which was adopted by Li Chongjiu.

    This double-layer wall strategy is to build an upper and lower wooden city wall around the camp. There are boards as intervals between the two walls, and there are also wooden ladders leading to the second layer of the city wall.  There are crenels for archery between the wooden walls on the upper and lower floors.

    When ready for battle, Zhao¡¯s soldiers can enter the upper and lower layers of the city wall and deploy defenses at the same time.

    Not only Zhao Jun¡¯s Sanyuan County camp was like this, but Li Chongjiu also used the steady and steady tactics to the extreme in order to protect Tongzhou¡¯s food routes.  Li Chongjiu also ordered his soldiers to build a board wall between Sanyuan and Tongzhou, a hundred miles away, as a corridor to protect grain and grass, so that grain for the Hedong army could be transported continuously into the Zhao army's camp.

    Li Chongjiu believed that such a setup would be enough to make Li Shimin, who was good at sneak attacks on other people's food routes, helpless.  If you want to fight, you have to find a way to confront me head on.

    Li Chongjiu¡¯s tactic was to stand firm against the wall. Anyway, Li Shimin¡¯s main force, the Tang Army, had already appeared in front of him.  It is Li Shimin who wants to win quickly, not himself.

    OtherwiseTalking about Wang Junkuo's West Route Army, once Song Jinjiang's 50,000-strong army crossed the Han River, the strategy of bypassing Hanzhong was successful.  Then this army can march from Hanzhong at any time and attack Chang'an from behind, putting Li Shimin into a situation where he is attacked from both sides.

    This is the advantage of the strategy of separate attacks and combined attacks. As long as they are not defeated individually, the longer the battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for Li Shimin.

    While the Zhao army was building the Sanyuan camp, Xue Wanche, who was stationed in Jingyang, sent a quick horse to report to Li Chongjiu, saying that the Tang army had a group of cavalry crossing the river from the upper reaches of Jingshui, detouring from Jingyang, and heading straight for Sanyuan. The men and horses were probably at Sanyuan.  Thousands of people.

    After learning the news, the generals of the Zhao army could not help but speculate on what the plan of this group of people was.

    There are only three thousand soldiers and horses of the Tang Army on this road. It is obviously unrealistic to attack the Sanyuan Camp guarded by 100,000 Zhao troops. However, it is also possible to attack the Zhao Army's food road in a detour.

    Li Chongjiu first sent light cavalry to warn Shan Xiongxin who was stationed in Tongzhou, and at the same time sent two thousand cavalry to search for this Tang Army cavalry north of Sanyuan.

    One day later, the movements of these three thousand Tang Army cavalry were ascertained, and they turned out to be heading straight for the Zhao Army Camp in Miyuan, and were stationed thirty miles outside the camp.  Li Chongjiu didn't understand the other party's intention, so he sent reconnaissance cavalry to investigate.  The news reported by the scouts surprised the Zhao army generals.

    "The commander-in-chief of the Tang Army is Shi Danai, also known as Ashina Nai. He was originally a special agent of the Western Turks. The three thousand cavalry under his command are all Western Turkic warriors!"

    As soon as the reconnaissance cavalry's report came out, all the generals fell into silence.

    Western Turkic warriors!

    Obviously, this time the Western Turks, who sent troops to jointly attack the Tang Dynasty, betrayed Zhao and joined the Tang army.  This may also explain why there is still no news about Wang Junkuo's 200,000 West Route Army at this moment.

    "Wang Duhu will not fail to guard against that special force. Even if the Western Turks betray, with his tens of thousands of troops, he will not cause the defeat of the 200,000 Western Route Army. Your Majesty, for now, we only need news of the defeat of the Western Route Army.  , If it doesn¡¯t really come out, you can¡¯t make a hasty judgment!¡± Himekawa said loudly.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
