998 At the juncture of life and death, there is more than one person who wants to stab in the back

The process of the Wei army in various tribes driving into the Hedong territory is no longer necessary to be described in detail.

Several battles occurred one after another, including An Jinquan, a veteran of the Later Tang Dynasty who had been sucked by arrows, fought fiercely with his nephews such as An Shentong, and in Taigu, in Taiyuan Prefecture, Taigu, south of Jinyang City, Taiyuan Prefecture, but he was still defeated and retreated to the county town to defend the death.

Until Li Tianqu's imperial guard entered the territory under the Taiyuan Prefecture, the encirclement formed by several Wei troops on Jinyang had begun to take steps forward and gradually shrink...

In the Five Dynasties, in the Taiyuan Jinyang, in addition to the Later Liang Dynasty, the two dynasties that were cut off from the head and tail of the Later Zhou Dynasty were also the place where the dragons of the Later Tang, Later Jin and Later Han dynasties became prosperous.

It was not until later that Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, failed to attack Taiyuan Jinyang several times, and after the Northern Han surrendered, he issued an order to demolish the old city... At least the capital of the Later Tang Dynasty is still 42 miles in circumference, with a large scale of twenty-four city gates. The city defense garrison was far stronger than the Taiyuan defense battle initiated by the Song general Wang Bing resisting the Jin army during the Song Dynasty.

Li Tianqu knew that he had been in charge of the imperial army for a while. As an emperor of a country, he should not leave the capital for a long time. However, he should not stick to the rules in extraordinary times. On the eve of this battle, Li Tianqu was not sure that he would be able to force Li Cunxu to this point... But since the war process was as smooth as expected and was unstoppable, he had been determined to form a siege against the capital of the Later Tang Dynasty, and of course there was no reason to stop halfway.

After all, after experiencing this miserable defeat, Li Cunxu might wake him up and let him see clearly the treacherous and treacherous ministers around him... The remaining military troops in the Later Tang Dynasty are still in the most sluggish period of morale. It is better to pursue the remaining troops and not to seek fame and learn the overlords. Li Tianqu remembers clearly... While the logistics supply is still sufficient, you must take advantage of the situation to pursue them. You should take advantage of your illness and kill you.

Now, there are countless flags of Wei army flying outside the Tang capital. On the side of the camp that was first set, there are large military camp tents everywhere. It is almost time to bury pots and make rice, and smoke has risen from the stove piled up during the march.

It is gradually about to form a large-scale camp. Between the capital of the Later Tang Kingdom, there are also sharp cavalry and armored soldiers running around. They have already opened the warning network to pay attention to the movements in Jinyang City. They even hope that the enemy will suddenly come out in the city to have the opportunity to compete for some military achievements first.

Directly facing the south city of Jinyang, those who follow the steps must set up layers of military tents to guard the imperial camp. During this period, trenches, village walls, and even fortifications such as horse-resisting horses, deer forts, arrow towers, etc. were set up in the camp. The generals at all levels of military commanders were also staring at them and meticulously. After all, they had to set up layers of protective measures in the camp tents that Emperor An used, and there was no mistake at all.

Before the Yuyu Camp facilities were completed, Li Tianqu was guarded by a group of guards and drove his horse to a high hill. He looked into the distance and looked around the long outline of Jinyang City. However, when the sunset was setting and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the city wall, it also added a desolate and magnificent scene to the famous city, which was praised as "controlling mountains and rivers and lying on the shoulders of the world".

Li Tianqu knew very well that even if he had already killed in front of the capital of the Later Tang Kingdom, he could not guarantee that he would be able to break it. In the official history, Zhu Wen and Liang Dynasty also fought to the foot of Jinyang City in Taiyuan, but in the end he returned in vain and was later defeated by the Li family in Hedong.

What's more, the Emperor Shizong of Later Zhou Dynasty Chai Rong, Emperor Taizu of Song Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Kuangyi... They were all in charge of the capital of the Northern Han Kingdom in the official history. However, the Northern Han regime was always beaten. Even if they survived, Jinyang City could provoke emperors of the three dynasties to personally fight to the death, which could be said to be a huge rank.

According to the original historical trajectory, in another two or three hundred years, the Song general Wang Bing defended the ruins of the ancient city of Jinyang. The city walls were far smaller than the previous new city, and it could still force the Jin army commander Wanyan Zonghan to use the city lock method to build numerous fortifications to surround Taiyuan. Even if he finally defended his life, he would still resist the fierce attack of the Jin army for more than 250 days...

So according to common sense, this famous city is difficult to conquer.

However, Li Tianqu looked at him and looked at him, and from his expression, he still seemed very calm. The enemy's castle was strong, but in many cases, there was no need to take a strong attack...

According to fundamental military information, when they sent troops to destroy Liang, they also sent troops according to the order of the Li family in Hedong, occupying the prefectures and the two states of Lin in the northwest of Taiyuan, Zhe Silun, who belonged to the local aristocratic family... has passed away now and his son Zhe has taken over the affairs of the prefecture from afar. His Zhe family was originally obedient to the Later Tang Dynasty, but now the Wei army has been killed at the capital of the Later Tang State. He is only cautious in guarding the border and has no intention of sending troops to aid.

Li Tianqu thought that as the separatist warlord of the ancestors of the Zhe family of the Song Dynasty, although Li Keyong had returned to the Li family in Hedong since the beginning, it mainly only ensured that the local people were not attacked by the tribes outside the border, and he would hardly have participated in the war between the heroes in the Central Plains to fight for hegemony.

In other words, in the generation of Zhe Congyuan, the prefectures he was in charge were originally one of the territory ceded by Shi Jingtang to the Khitan. However, the Zhe family dared to call on the prefectures and prefectures to defend their land and protect their people, and would never let Khitan soldiers enter the country. Therefore, it can be seen that the warlords may not have to obey the Later Tang Dynasty. The Later Jin Dynasty may not have to obey the Later Jin Dynasty. It was also during the reign of Emperor Shao of the Later Jin Dynasty and Emperor Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty, Zhe Congyuan avoided Liu Zhiyuan's name and changed it to Congruan. Later, the Zhe family got closer and closer to the Central Plains Dynasty.

The Zhe family in the northwest of Taiyuan chose to protect themselves and wait and see, and would not rescue the precarious Later Tang Dynasty at this time, which would lead to the conquest of the Wei Dynasty... Fu Cunshen also dispatched troops and sent troops to wipe out the local troops who came to rescue Taiyuan one after another. There were also Ge ​​Congzhou commander Yang Wu's army, who had entered Daizhou and cut off Li Cunxu's retreat to Yunzhong... Now, Jinyang, Taiyuan, will not fight out a strong aid halfway and turn the situation around.

What's more... the crisp sound of horse hooves behind Li Tianqu came one after another. The close minister Jie Qing also drove to his side, lowered his voice slightly, and said:

"Even if the city of Jinyang is high and deep, and the Jin lord is almost defending his position, how could he expect that His Majesty is wise and powerful, and has a prescient reputation, and the secret chess buried in advance can be used now? Although it is even more difficult to convey the noise during the battle, the guards of the patrol secretly sent people. The last order issued by Li Junxi and other secret spies placed in Jinyang City can judge the situation and decide on their own.

His Majesty was so angry that he killed the defeated Jin Lord. The powerful troops of all the troops were as powerful as rainbows, and the troops headed straight to the city of Jinyang. It was already such an important time, and Li Junxi and other secret spies should make their own choices, and they must be very clear about it..."

Li Tianqu smiled slightly when he heard this, and then he said something that made Jie Qing, one of the few close ministers who knew the details of the Patrol Guards, still couldn't understand:

"Li Yazi has reached a critical moment of life and death. I am afraid that it is not just the secret spies who planned and deployed in Jinyang in my early years... Guo Congqian, the Jin minister who was once captured and released by our dynasty, should still be in the imperial guards of Jinyang Palace now?"
