Luoyang, at the head of the North City, Wang Shichong was dressed in leather armor and dressed as a soldier. He looked at the Tang Army's camp outside the city. The fleet of cargo vehicles was continuously driving into the camp. Wherever it passed, it aroused the Tang Army's attention. There were bursts of cheers, and the defenders at the top of the city watched eagerly as the Tang Army's grain and grass convoy entered the camp. Many people unconsciously began to move their Adam's apples, and flashes of light flashed in their eyes. A bit of primitive hunger. Wei Zheng was also dressed as a soldier. Both of them wore masks. There were only a dozen guards following him. They looked like a group of sergeants patrolling the city. Wang Shichong murmured: "It seems that Li Tang is the next one." He is determined to take root here and fight to the end." Wei Zheng curled his lips and said, "Yes, this time Li Tang must have made up his mind to fight to the death. He has paid such a high price and cannot withdraw anymore. When the Tang army was short of food a while ago, their morale was low. This is what we can see. Now that they have food and their morale is restored, should we think of other ways?" Wang Shichong's eyes flashed: "No. , because the turning point has come. Xuancheng, let me tell you good news. Dou Jiande has raised an army with more than 100,000 elite soldiers. Just yesterday, he crossed the Yellow River and captured Zhouqiao. Meng Jiong, who was entrenched in Henan, was caught off guard. After being defeated and captured, Xu Yuanlang of Qi County also surrendered to Dou Jiande. Now his troops are extremely sharp and their flags are all over the sky. They are heading towards Luoyang City. " Wei Zheng was surprised and happy, and shouted. He stood up and said, "Is it true? Did Dou Jiande really send troops? Great, even if Li Shimin has military supplies now, the army is already exhausted. Dou Jiande is coming with all his strength now, and Li Shimin will be hard to resist. When the time comes, we will attack from both front and back. The Tang army will be defeated!" Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Xuancheng, we have been asking Dou Jiande for help for more than half a year. He has been waiting and watching, but has not really sent troops. Now he suddenly sends troops. Do you think he is here to save us? " Wei Zheng opened his eyes wide: "Could it be that Dou Jiande wanted to carry out Bianzhuang's plan to assassinate the tiger and wipe out our family and the Tang army in one fell swoop? " Wang Shichong sneered: "The Tang army can choose to fight or leave. At this time, ordinary generals can't. We will definitely withdraw the siege back to Guanzhong, but our Luoyang city cannot escape. If Luoyang is deprived of food for a long time and can be defeated overnight, then after Dou Jiande drives away the Tang army, he will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to capture Luoyang. , to unify the Central Plains. In this way, he has achieved the goal of unifying the world. After this battle, Li Tang will no longer have the possibility of entering the Central Plains. This is what he really wants to pursue!" Wei Zheng curled his lips, his eyes shining brightly! : "I would believe it if someone else did this, but Dou Jiande has always been known as Bo Yuntian. He came at our invitation this time. He drove away Li Tang and then eliminated us. This is not like him." Wang Shichong He laughed and patted Wei Zheng on the shoulder: "Xuancheng, Xuancheng, after all these years, you still don't understand Dou Jiande. On the surface, he is a loyal brother, but in troubled times, he can survive until now. , becoming the last few forces that can compete for the world cannot be achieved by relying on loyalty. This person seems to be bold, but in fact he is extremely shrewd in his heart, and he also knows how to assess the situation. He has been hiding behind various Hebei rebels in the troubled times. , it was not until Gao Shida was defeated that he raised his flag and stood up, knowing that he was a hero, not an eldest brother. If he was really loyal, he would never kill his brothers Wang Fubao and Song Zhengben. " Wei Zheng nodded thoughtfully: "What my lord said is absolutely true. I misjudged Dou Jiande, so this time Dou Jiande also came with bad intentions. Do we need to take any precautions? Wang Shichong's eyes flashed with green light: "The Tang army has recently received military rations, and Dou Jiande has come to Xirui at this time. So now they have to give up everything they have done before, obediently return to Guanzhong, give up the idea of ??fighting for the world, and establish a separate regime." , or fight on two fronts, and while the troops are trapped in Luoyang, use the elite to fight Dou Jiande's army decisively. Xuancheng, what do you think Li Shimin will choose? " Wei Zheng said without thinking: "Fighting on two fronts is a taboo for military strategists. Besides, after a year of siege, the Tang army is already exhausted. No general will fight against Dou Jiande at this time. Even if he wants to fight, he will have to withdraw his troops back to Tongguan to rest on the front line. After a period of time, wait until the morale of the army is restored before the decisive battle. " Wang Shichong smiled and shook his head: "If you do this, it won't be Li Shimin. I bet that he will lead his elite troops to fight against Dou Jiande, and let most of the troops stay here to continue besieging us! " Wei Zheng shook his head in disbelief: "I don't believe it, this goes against basic common sense in the art of war! "Wang Shichong laughed: "Okay, how about we continue to bet this time, and the loser will have to eat the cake with dirt and dregs for a day? "As he said that, he stretched out his right palm. Wei Zheng hit it with one palm without thinking: "Okay, my lord, just prepare to eat a few more! ¡± The main camp of the Tang Army and the commander¡¯s tent of the Chinese Army. Compared with the thunderous cheers outside, the generals inside the tent all looked serious and stood silent. Li Shimin, wearing a general's robe and armor, was sitting behind the commander's case. He stood in the tent, wearing a leather suit. Feng Lun from A said calmly: "Feng Zhongshu, you came just in time. We have an urgent military report and need a military meeting. Compared with the 200,000 stones of military rations you brought this time, I need you more. Suggestions from a wise man. " Feng Lun said softly: "Everyone seems to be very serious. What can be more embarrassing for everyone than the arrival of military rations? Could it be that Wang Shichong's reinforcements are coming? " Changsun Wuji curled his lips and said: "Fengzhongshu, I just received the news half an hour ago. Dou Jiande's Xia army suddenly dispatched and has crossed the Yellow River. Meng Jiigong and Xu Yuanlang descended in the wind, and now their army is marching with drums." Ahead, there are hundreds of miles of banners, claiming to be 300,000, heading straight for Luoyang City!" Feng Lun's expression changed. What he just said about the arrival of Wang Shichong's reinforcements was just a lie. He was thinking in his heart! Those who didn't believe it didn't expect that Dou Xia actually came to help with all his strength. This traitor who had always been calm and composed couldn't help but panic, and his voice was trembling: "Is this news true? Xia Jun is really here?" Li Shimin He nodded: "It has been confirmed. It is absolutely true. Dou Jiande led the troops in person, and almost all the elite soldiers and generals from Hebei were gathered under his command. Generals such as Gao Yaxian, Fan Yuan, etc. all led the troops this time. Although there are not 300,000 men and horses, there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers. Now he has annexed the troops of Meng Jiong and Xu Yuanlang. He is arrogant. His envoy is already on the way to my camp. When his envoy comes Before our camp, I would like to ask Feng Zhongshu, should we fight or retreat against the Xia army?"
