Chapter 2442 Li Tang returned to Han, Sui, Shu, Chu aid Tang
Chapter 2439: Li Tang returns to Han, Sui, Shu and Chu aid Tang
Liangzhou, Jincheng County, Sui capital, Daxing City (formerly Jincheng District), Sui Wangfu.
"Report... Report to the lord, report to Guanzhong, Gongsun Xuanyuan raided Chen Cang, broke through Sanguan Pass, and Li Jing divided his troops into seven routes to attack Chang''an."
"What?"
Hearing this, not only Yang Guang, Yang Su, Gao Yang, Cheng Gongying, Zu Yi, Ban Gu and others all exclaimed.
"San Pass was actually broken? What did Li Shimin do? The last San Pass in the Four Passes can allow the Qin army to break through so easily?"
Yang Su looked unbelievable. He had dealt with Li Shimin a lot. He couldn''t believe that Li Shimin, who had always been cautious, could not even defend his only way out.
But after listening to the spy''s narration, Yang Su immediately didn''t know what to say.
There are traitors inside and strong enemies outside. In this case, let alone Li Siyuan, even if it was him, Yang Su, who would probably not be able to stand Sanguan.
"Sanguan is the last gateway of Li Tang, but now it falls into the hands of the Qin army. Now more than 100,000 Tang troops in Guanzhong are completely trapped to death in Guanzhong." Ban Gu said in a deep voice.
"Alas, Li Tang is in danger." Yang Guang sighed.
Although Yang Guang and Li Shimin had a grudge against killing their father, the person who least wanted something wrong with Li Tang was Yang Guang.
Once Li Tang completely lost Guanzhong, the Qin Dynasty would even gain territory in the Yongliang prefectures, and the Sui State would also face pressure from the entire Qin Dynasty.
Only countries bordering the Qin Dynasty can experience the oppression that is almost suffocating under the powerful national strength and military power of the Qin Dynasty.
The Tang Kingdom was originally the vanguard of anti-Qin and was the most active in anti-Qin matters. The result was naturally a shot.
Although the Tang Dynasty was not as strong as the Shu and Chu, its national strength and military strength were no weaker than Shu and Chu. As a result, the backbone was broken by the Qin Dynasty in the battle.
Even a person as proud as Li Shimin had to take the throne himself, pay tribute to the Qin Dynasty, and become a vassal state.
Wei State borders Daqin, and facing Daqin is like a grandson. He dares not offend a single word and almost responds to every request.
The five kingdoms of Yuan Qingqi, Chu and Shu also bordered the Qin Dynasty, but they were beaten up by the Qin Dynasty.
So far, except for the State of Song, no country bordering the Qin Dynasty does not suffer a great loss.
Although the Sui Kingdom has not suffered a big loss so far in the hands of the Qin Dynasty, it has never suffered a small loss.
During the third Hetao War, Yang Guang was defeated by Meng Tian and Wang Meng, and fled back to Liangzhou in a panic. He relied on his betrayal and back to stab his allies, and then he annexed most of the chassis of the Mahan and Han families and became the well-deserved overlord of Liangzhou.
Later, Yang Guang sent Yang Su to conquer the Western Regions. Everything went smoothly, but Ji Xiaolan was entangled with the Western Regions coalition forces, and he had no choice but to suspend the Western Expedition because of too much resistance.
In addition, after Yan Xing and Ma Chao surrendered to Qin, the Qin Dynasty obtained a fast enclave in Liangzhou.
And since Yang Guang''s old opponent Meng Tian became the governor of Liangzhou of the Great Qin Dynasty, the friction between the Qin and Sui Dynasty has never stopped.
What is the chassis and population of Daqin in Liangzhou? There are only a population of 200,000 in two counties, but there are a total of 60,000 elite troops. How can Yang Guang feel at ease?
In just one and a half years, the border conflicts between Qin and Sui countries have reached 134 times, all of which are small frictions between dozens and hundreds of people. The two countries have won and lost each other, but the Sui country basically lost more and won less.
Meng Tian only had only 60,000 Liangzhou Qin troops in his hands, which put Yang Guang in great pressure.
If the Qin Dynasty completely occupied Guanzhong and the chassis of Yongliang and the two places were all over the city, the Sui Kingdom would probably be under the shadow of the Qin Dynasty in the future.
"Report... I report to the lord, the Tang Kingdom sent a letter to our Great Sui Dynasty through Fei Ge''s letter, hoping that our Great Sui Dynasty could send troops to support us."
Upon hearing this, Yang Guang quickly took the letter of help and browsed it at a glance.
Li Shimin clearly stated in the letter that he was forced to betray the Southern Han Alliance and become a vassal state of the Great Qin. He hoped that Yang Guang could speak for him so that the Southern Han Alliance could accept Li Tang again.
At the same time, it also hopes that the Sui Kingdom can send troops to attack Xiaoguan to disperse the Qin army and reduce the pressure of the Tang army in Guanzhong.
And he also promised to ced the three counties of Qiang to the Sui State afterwards as a reward for the Sui army''s dispatch of troops this time.
After reading it, Yang Guang passed the letter down and let everyone circulate it one by one, and expressed his ideas whether he could save Tang or not.
After reading the civil and military officials present, most of them thought they should not be saved, because after Li Tang lost the Sanguan Pass, he had become a bird in a cage. It was only a matter of time before and for the time being, the Sui State did not need to drag itself into the quagmire for the Tang State.
Yang Guang did not have any opinions from the audience, but before he was fully prepared, he did not want to go to war with the Qin army, so this time he was going to do it and only send troops to support Li Tang, but he was not allowed to go to war directly with the Qin army.
"The Gu Wang decided to send 100,000 troops to attack Xiaoguan in two groups and rescue Li Tang. The Gu personally led 50,000 troops to the left-wing army, and Yang Su led 50,000 troops to the right-wing army." Yang Guang ordered loudly.
"Affect the order." The generals said in unison.
Yang Su''s previous expeditions to the West, destroyed the nine countries in the Western Regions in a row. The Sui State seized a large amount of population, food, grass and wealth, and devoted himself to the development of internal affairs. Under Yang Guang''s governance, after one and a half years of vigorous development, the political and economic economy of the Sui State has been greatly improved, and there is no pressure to bear the consumption of a hundred thousand troops.
Before Yang Guang''s army even set out, the news was revealed to Meng Tian, ??the lurking spy on the Black Ice Platform, who was the Grand Governor of Liangzhou in Daqin.
After receiving the news, Meng Tian immediately convened a meeting to discuss. Facing the 100,000 Sui troops coming, the Qin army would face the battle head-on or passively defend.
The Qin army in Liangzhou has only 60,000 in total, and nearly half of them are still reorganized from the Han and Ma armies. Even after a year and a half of training, their combat effectiveness is no longer the same as before, but they still have a great awe of the Sui army. After all, they were beaten too miserably by the Sui army before.
The Qin army in Liangzhou, led by Ma Chao, Ma Dai and Yan, has not yet realized its strength, so these people tend to defend.
The foreign Qin army led by Long Qi and Jiao Moxiang had no fear of the Sui army, so they all advocated taking the initiative. After all, the Qin army has always been good at winning with less.
Sixty thousand to one hundred thousand? The advantage lies in me.
Meng Tian thought about it and felt that training was not a big deal. It was time to pull the army out and fight the Sui army with real swords and blood. Only after seeing the blood can the Qin army in Liangzhou transform into a real elite.
So, Meng Tian started his 40,000 infantry troops and 20,000 cavalry, totaling 60,000. He fought against the Sui army, and was under his command, including Long Qi, Jiao Moxiang, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Yan Xing and other generals.
Meng Tian led his army straight to Yang Guang''s troops, preparing to defeat them one by one, which scared Yang Guang.
He sent troops just to act, but he didn''t want to start a war with Meng Tian, ??so he quickly ordered the marching to stop and summon Yang Su to meet.
After Yang Guang and Yang Su''s army were launched, the troops reached 100,000, and the momentum was extremely large.
Meng Tian was not sure that he could win. Seeing that Yang Guang did not take the initiative to attack, he also guessed the other party''s thoughts, so he set up camp on the spot and confronted the Sui army across the river.
Although Yang Guang and Meng Tian were very restrained, their subordinates could not hold back.
Today Jiao Motian took five hundred people to attack the Sui camp.
Tomorrow, Gao Changgong will bring three hundred cavalry to burn the Qin army''s food and grass.
The post-Star Ma Chao went to Sui Camp to challenge.
The day after tomorrow, he came here to provoke.
It can be said that there are constant conflicts every day.
While Qin and Sui were confronting each other in Liangzhou, Shu and Chu also made the same decision as Sui, which was to send troops to support Li Tang to restrain the Qin army''s forces, but did not really go to war with the Qin army.
Liu Yucai completely controlled the military and political power of Shu. He had not finished negotiating the internal affairs. Naturally, he did not want to provoke the Qin army at this time, but he could not watch the Qin army occupy Guanzhong.
At the suggestion of Su Qin, Liu Yu decided to re-accept Li Tang into the Southern Han Alliance and personally led 100,000 Shu troops, as well as generals such as Xing Tian, ??Liu Er, Zhang Ren, and Peng Yue to go north to Hanzhong to support Li Tang.
Li Shimin was overjoyed when he learned about it and reentered the Southern Han Alliance, which meant that Li Tang would not have to fight alone, even if the three allies were just using him as a target.
The road to Sichuan is difficult to move, and it is not easy to get out of Sichuan.
It will take at least one month for the 100,000 Shu troops to arrive in Hanzhong. With this time, the war in Guanzhong may be over.
But Liu Yu never expected that although his trip did not play much role, he was surprised and gained a peerless general who was no less than Xing Tian.
As for Liu Xiu, since Li Shimin was beaten down by Ying Hao, he consciously took on the role of anti-Qin vanguard, and no one is more active than him in anti-Qin.
Liu Xiu received the news at the latest, but his actions were faster than Liu Yu. He directly added 100,000 troops to Jiangling, and there was a trend of a Northern Expedition to attack Xiangyang.
After receiving the news, the governor of Jingzhou, Xue Rengui, immediately transferred the troops of Jing''an back to Xiangyang one after another, as if your Chu army dared to fight if you dared to come.
However, Jiangling''s 150,000 Chu troops were just training in Jiangling and showed no signs of moving. It seems that they are also a fake move.
As for the two Central Plains countries, Wei and Song, after receiving the news that the Qin army sent troops to Guanzhong, they all remained silent in a tacit understanding.
The Wei and Song dynasties did not express any expression on the Qin Dynasty''s dispatch of troops to Guanzhong, and neither supported nor opposed it. Their attitude was really intriguing.
Seeing that there were signs of war between Qin and Chu, the Wu State secretly increased its troops to Lujiang. Once Qin and Chu really started the war, they would send troops to attack the rear of Chu State, and a yellow bird came to the back. In short, they would not miss any opportunity to weaken Chu State.
In this way, China, which had been calm for a year and a half, became tense again due to the Second Guanzhong War of Qin and Tang Dynasties.
However, anyone with discerning eyes can basically see that the momentum caused this time will never break out in a melee between the countries, but Li Tang may not be able to escape this disaster.
Kunlun Mountain, Eight Scenery Palace.
Taoist Taiqing, who had been in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes. After counting on his fingers, his brows suddenly frowned, and then sent out a helping Tang ruling.
