    Luoyang, south of the city, thirty miles away, is Mount Quesai.  The first ray of sunshine has already shone on the plains of Shannan. As the sun rises, the shadows of the mountains are gradually eliminated. On the plains of Shannan, the boundless 150,000 troops are like sea water.  Gradually, Li Jing appeared, wearing a general's robe and armor, holding a military staff, sitting upright on a temporary marshal's platform, the breeze blowing his long beard, and his sparkling eyes.  He stared intently at the quiet mountain three miles away. Behind him, a large flag embroidered with the word "Shu" was juxtaposed with a military flag of the Huaqiang Kingdom, fluttering in the wind.  A small soldier with a flag on his back quickly flew under the commander's platform, rolled his saddle and dismounted, and said loudly: "Commander, the enemy has indeed set up an ambush in the Quesai Mountain. At this time, they are repairing the fortifications. The number of soldiers and horses  Unknown, but the flag was marked with the word "Qu Tu" Li Jing's mouth curled up, and Liu Ji on the side said: "It should be Qu Tutong who led his troops to stop it. It seems that they found out last night.  We are in a hurry to stop our army. Commander, there is an enemy ambush ahead. Qu Tutong is a general of the Tang army. Should we take a closer look?  " Li Jing shook his head: "No, my reconnaissance is just to know what the real movements of the Tang army are. If Li Shimin wanted to deal with us first, he would never defend in the mountains. Instead, he would lead his army to attack directly and cross the mountains.  We have a decisive battle here. Although Qu Tutong is a general of the Tang Army, the Tang Army will probably not give half of its troops to him. If he takes the initiative to build fortifications, it means that he wants to hold on and hold us back. Then the main force of the Tang Army must be  Go deal with His Majesty!  " Having said this, Li Jing stood up, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Therefore, we must quickly break through the Tang army's defense line in the Quesai Mountain at all costs. Send my command, beat the drum, and dispatch 30,000 troops from the front.  Soldiers and horses in the mountains of Shu, attack me with force, don't care about casualties, within two hours, I must stand on the top of Quesai Mountain!  " Luoyang, southeast, fifteen miles away, Hongtai Slope. Two huge armies faced each other quietly on this battlefield with a radius of twenty miles. Yang Xuangan was dressed in white armor, under the sunlight.  , the silver light shines, and with the dragon-like Xihe Pegasus on his crotch, he gallops back and forth in front of the formation. The man is like a tiger, the horse is like a dragon, and it is like a god. Wherever he passes, there is a sound of cheers, Sixty Thousand Huainan  Infantry and cavalry, 50,000 infantry were divided into three armies in the center, and 10,000 cavalry were arranged on both sides. They were finely armored and full of murderous intent. As Yang Xuangan galloped in front of the formation, there were bursts of cheers like mountains and tsunamis, which made people watch.  After that, his blood and heart were shaking. There was a disdainful smile on Li Yuanji's face. Chai Shao and Li Xiuning stood beside him. The 80,000 Tang troops behind them were silent at this moment.  The heavy infantry of the Tang army in the two square formations in the front row remained motionless, while the fifty thousand state and county soldiers and horses arranged on the two wings looked a bit changeful at the sight of the enemy, and from time to time they became slightly restless. Li Yuanji sneered:  "Yang Xuangan is quite good at boosting morale, but his era has passed. The title of the best general in the world has been ringing in my ears since I was a child. Today, this myth and legend has been completely ended.  It's time.  " Chai Shao curled his lips and said: "King Qi, Yang Xuangan's reputation as the best in the world is definitely not in vain. It seems that his Jianghuai soldiers are all strong and their morale is like a rainbow. The center of our army is  The soldiers of the two guards can still resist, but the soldiers and horses of the prefectures and counties on the two wings, although many in number, are lacking in fighting spirit. I am afraid that they will not be able to hold out for too long. Should we follow the original arrangement of King Qin and retreat to the south gate to meet up?  How can General Qian Jiulong and General Wang Junkuo's 20,000 troops, especially our camp, resist the enemy's attack?  " Li Yuanji waved his hand disdainfully: "Why is this? Retreating to the camp and hanging a no-war sign will only make people laugh. We have an army of 70,000 here, more than the opponent. Don't we give up if we don't fight?  ?  General Chai, brother-in-law, you are my general in Guanzhong. Could it be that after so many years of fighting with my second brother, you only bully the weak and fear the strong?  " Li Xiuning shook his head: "Silang, don't be impulsive. If we are fighting here, if we are not careful, the whole army will collapse. Our purpose is to delay the enemy. We all know the impact of Yang Xuangan, whether it was fighting the Turks or rebelling.  In the Sui Dynasty, it was really the gods who blocked the gods and the Buddhas who blocked the fu. If we fought against him, it would be difficult to win.  " Li Yuanji said impatiently: "Okay, sister, you just look down on me, the fourth brother. If the second brother were here, would you say this?  " Li Xiuning frowned: "No, Silang, sister, I am not looking down on you, but" Li Yuanji said coldly: "Okay, no need to say more, the second brother is not here today, I am the one who  The commander-in-chief of the army, I, the generals of Datang Guanzhong, can die in battle, but must not be frightened to death. Last time, in order to protect the elites of Bingzhou, I endured the infamy and evacuated Taiyuan, but you all?I am a coward. Today, I will show you who is the warrior and who is the coward!  " Having said this, Li Yuanji raised his horse high and shouted loudly at the soldiers behind him: "Are you cowards?  " The Guanzhong accent sounded like a tsunami: "No!  " "Then are you afraid of Jianghuai Chaozi on the opposite side?  " "Don't be afraid, I'll knock it over or crush it!  " Li Yuanji laughed: "Okay, all my sons, follow me to attack and kill them. Those who kill the enemy will be rewarded. If you retreat, you will be engaged in military law!  " "Mighty, mighty, mighty!  "The eyes of the Tang Army in the center shone brightly and they roared loudly. The state and county soldiers and horses on both sides also shouted because they were affected by the Tang Army's soldiers in the center. For a time, the morale of the Tang Army was like a rainbow, and the soldiers attacked.  The sound of the shield's stomping shook the earth and made the entire plain begin to shake. Li Yuanji boosted the morale of his side. He looked back at Chai Shao and Li Xiuning who were silent and said with a smile: "Did you see it? It's a fight.  It's not that difficult. It's not that difficult to make the soldiers fight to the death. Brother-in-law, sister, please go to the rear and escort us with your 10,000 soldiers and horses. When I completely defeat Yang Xuangan, you can follow us.  Pick up more heads later, don't worry, I will let my people leave some for you!  " He said, laughed, and rode forward with his long spear pointing directly at the Jianghuai Army formation opposite. The Tang Army infantry in the middle surged forward like a tide, and soon led the state and county soldiers and horses on the two wings by more than ten  Chai Shao and Li Xiuning looked at each other and shook their heads in unison. Li Xiuning whispered: "Silang is afraid that something will happen. No matter what, we have to guard this place and not let him pass!"  " Chai Shao picked up the noodle and put it on his face. A cold light flashed in his big black eyes: "This time, I also want to really compete with Yang Xuangan. Madam, you will see who is better.  !  " Yang Xuangan looked coldly at the Tang army's front that was coming in like a tide on the opposite side, with a smile on his lips: "Well done, here's the order, the iron cavalry on both wings will attack, defeating the enemy's state and county soldiers and horses on both sides, and the central infantry will retreat step by step.  In half an hour, I will make a pocket and surround Li Yuanji!  "
