"It's the Duke of Changping County!"

Li Shuliang, Duke of Changping County, and the cousin of Li Yuan, the King of Tang Dynasty, was previously the Minister of Justice as the Governor of Jingzhou. After Jingzhou was captured by Xue Ju, he retreated to Binzhou and calmed down the defeated troops.

At this critical moment, Li Shuliang, who was stationed in Binzhou City, led 3,000 cavalrymen to arrive first.

He arrived before Xue Rengao.

Although Xue Rengao also received news from Zong Luohu, the army was short of food and was unable to send troops for a long time.

Li Shuliang led three thousand light cavalry and came from behind the clan Luohu.

Zong Luohu felt very bitter in his heart.

He obviously had 50,000 troops, but he could not beat 20,000 people. He had previously said that Li Shimin was a turtle guarding the city and staying in a turtle and never appearing to win, but now Li Shimin has come out and he didn't expect that he still couldn't win.

"Stop them!"

Zong Luohu quickly dispatched troops to intercept him.

However, although the Western Qin army was numerous at this time, they were completely entangled with the Tang army. It was not easy to form a military formation to intercept this newly arrived cavalry.

Before the troops gathered, Li Shuliang had already led the cavalry to the death.

The new force of the three thousand light cavalry broke through the back formation of Zong Luohu in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zong Luohu directly abandoned his army and fled.

This time, the morale of the Xue army plummeted, and the infantry and cavalry were defeated and dispersed.

The Tang army was very motivated and everyone was brave.

Li Shimin was covered in blood. Seeing Zong Luohu fleeing, he gritted his teeth and ordered, "Cavals, follow me, attack Xue Rengao's base camp, and follow the infantry!"

Li Shuliang, who had just met with Li Shimin, hurriedly persuaded, "Xue Rengao still has more than 100,000 troops. Although we are new, we are tired, so don't advance aggressively."

But Li Shimin didn't listen. It was not that he couldn't listen, but that he knew the crisis in Chang'an, and he had to decide the outcome immediately. He could not delay it or could not afford it.

"I have considered this, but our army won a new victory, and it is time to take advantage of the victory and advance. It is like a stunning momentum. Please don't need to say anything more."

After saying that, Li Shimin raised his spear and waved his spear and ordered the entire army to pursue him.

Li Shimin even had no time to take care of the defeated Zong Luohu tribes, and let them flee in scattered areas, and rushed to Xue Rengao's base camp.

At this time, Xue Rengao had actually retreated to Zheji City, which is also the new capital of the Western Qin State. Before, Xue Ju died of illness here, and Xue Rengao succeeded to the throne here.

At that time, he used this as his capital, but he didn't want to return to Qinzhou. What Xue Renguo planned was to use Chang'an as his capital after he invaded Chang'an, and Zheji City was just a temporary transition.

But who expected that the offense would be so unsuccessful.

Xue Rengao's long-term attack on Changwu City was not yet in the process, but his Secretariat, Hao Yuan, was critically ill again.

In addition to the lack of food in the army, Xue Rengao asked Zong Luohu to lead 50,000 troops to stay under Changwu City for a while, and he led the main force to retreat slowly.

He was in Zheqian City and hoped to raise food and grass, but Hao Yuan, the confidant, was seriously ill, and Chu Liang was also called sick. Because he shared the food alive, there were not many civil officials and officials in the Western Qin Dynasty, so it became increasingly difficult to raise and supply food and grass for logistics.

When Zong Luohu urgently reported that Li Shimin could no longer stand to go out of the city to fight, Xue Rengao could no longer send troops because he was short of food.

Xue Rengao was still losing his temper in the city of Zheji, but he reported that the Tang army had already reached the city.

Xue Rengao, who heard that Zong Luohu was defeated, was furious and led the troops from the city out of the city to line up.

Under the city.

More than 100,000 Qin troops lined up.

However, the Tang army came from afar, less than 20,000.

Xue Rengao vowed to capture Li Shimin alive, and then roasted him and ate him.

At this moment.

Chu Liang, the minister of the Western Qin Dynasty, and his son Chu Suiliang, led dozens of civil officials of the Western Qin Dynasty and more than a dozen generals, actually rode their horses in front of the formation and ran to the opposite side.

Before he could understand what was going on, Chu Liang had already bowed to Li Shimin.

They actually turned against each other and surrendered to the Tang army.

The prime minister begged to the enemy in front of the battle.

Xue Rengao almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, but this was not over yet.

There were more than 100,000 troops in the army that lasted for more than ten miles, and people began to break away from the formation and ran to the opposite side.

It is endless and cannot be stopped.

Even a whole line of soldiers will start to run to the opposite side.

Even Li Shimin didn't expect this result.

"Marson, Xue Rengao is cruel and cruel, and is definitely not a wise master. We were just being trapped by him before and had no choice but to rely on him. Now we finally hope to get out of the opportunity."

Li Shimin was so excited that he quickly dismounted and helped Chu Liang and his son up, "They gave up the darkness and turned to the light, but they were unable to ask for it."

It only took half a day.

One-third of Xue Rengao's army surrendered to the enemy in front of the formation.

Their actions were mainly because the food in Zheji City was gone, and many soldiers had been hungry for several days, and the emperor was not short of hungry soldiers.

In addition, Xue Rengao was indeed cruel. Not only did he like to kill prisoners, but he even often abused and killed his own people. For example, he robbed the wives of the generals under his command, and castrated the civil officials who offended him, and said that he could imitate the Taishigong of the Han Wu Emperor Palace. When he was in power, everyone was afraid of doing anything, but once the situation was in the present, everyone would surrender to the enemy without hesitation.

There is no counterattack in front of the formation, because everyone's actions of surrendering to the enemy have never been connected.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xue Rengao quickly withdrew his troops and returned to the city. If this continues, everyone will run away.

However, the city gates were closed and could not stop the morale from being shaken.

Later, the Tang army infantry arrived and more than 50,000 people came.

It turned out that the infantry in the Binzhou behind Li Shuliang had also arrived. At this time, many prisoners who were defeated in Qianshuiyuan also turned to join the Tang army and turned back to attack Zheji City.

The Tang army surrounded Zheji City.

A tragic siege and defense battle is about to begin.

But what surprised the Tang army was that the city gate was closed, but soldiers kept raising ropes down to surrender.

The scene was extremely spectacular.

Sixty thousand Tang troops besieged the city under the city.

There were more than 100,000 Western Qin troops in the city.

But the Western Qin army guarding the city kept coming down from the city to surrender.

At the city gate was Xue Rengao's confidant guard, and the soldiers followed the ropes from the city.

Afterwards, even Xue Rengao, who was guarding the city, knew that it was impossible, so he opened the city and surrendered.

At dusk.

Xue Rengao almost became a lonely man.

Xue Rengao, who had no choice but to tie himself up and ask for surrender.

He couldn't run away at this time, because the Tang army outside the city had expanded to 100,000 people, half of which were his Western Qin army, and the Zheji City was surrounded like an iron barrel.

In desperation, Xue Rengao had no choice but to surrender.

Li Shimin accepted Xue Rengao's request for surrender and then ordered all the Western Qin army to be incorporated into the army.

"Call the generals and schools to discuss matters!"

"I have something to announce."

Li Shimin sat in the temporary palace of the Xue family in Zheji City and breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Rengao solved it and finally solved the threat from the Western Front.

Xue Rengao surrendered and captured Zheji City. The eight general managers including Liu Wenjing and Chai Shao who were captured during the first defeat in Asuhuruwara were rescued.

After meeting, Li Shimin had no time to chat with them.

"I decided that General Chai Shao and General Li Shuliang would stay in Jingzhou, and be responsible for the acquisition of Western Qin surrendered troops and take advantage of the situation to attack and capture the land of Longyou."

Li Shimin left them 20,000 Tang troops.

"This commander and General Liu Wenjing will immediately lead 40,000 troops and 40,000 Longqiang cavalry to return to Guanzhong."

Liu Wenjing and others couldn't understand why Li Shimin was so anxious to go back. It was a good time to take advantage of the situation to wipe out all the lands of Western Qin in one fell swoop. This was a great achievement.

Only then did Li Shimin take out Li Yuan's letter in his arms and show it to the public.

"Guanzhong is in crisis, we must rush back to reinforce Tongguan and defend Chang'an!"
