The heavens begin from practicing swords in the palace

Going to Luojun City, Song Que ordered his soldiers to pretend to retreat.

The governor of Shangluo County was overjoyed. He didn't listen to Xu Ziling's dissuasion, and led his troops to pursue it at night.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Fu.

Tens of thousands of Tang soldiers were killed or injured.

Song Que led the soldiers and took the opportunity to attack Shangluo County.

After Kou Zhong and Li Jing got the news, they had no choice but to order the soldiers to stop advancing.

Because Song Que personally led elite troops to guard the city, no matter how they planned, it seemed that they had no chance of winning.

For a moment, with the method of Kou and Li leading the army, they also hesitated.

Don't dare to attack, and don't dare to retreat.

In this retreat, Song Que must lead the army to fight steadily, taking advantage of the new Sui army's dominance of the south, nibble away step by step, accumulate small victories into big victories, and finally win a comprehensive victory.

In this world, in terms of the ability to lead soldiers, almost no one can beat Song Que.

Since Kou Zhong's debut, except for losing to his father Du Fuwei for a while, he has never been defeated since then.

But in the face of this battle, he has no confidence.

Although there is no unparalleled road, but after several times of thinking, I still feel that the chances of winning are slim, and I feel that I don't know where to go like never before.

After many discussions, Kou Zhong and Li Jing finally decided to retreat two hundred miles and occupy a central city.

Both advance and attack, but also retreat and defend.

Of course, it is impossible to attack, because it is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city.

Relying on the strength of the Tang army, it is wishful thinking to attack the city, and it will only be lost here.

He Song Que is not Wang Shichong, nor is Shangluo County City Luoyang.

Only by occupying the central city in front of us and defending it, even if Song Que leads the army to attack, with Kou Zhong and Li Jing here, even with Song Que's ability, it may not be easy to win.

Kou Zhong and Li Jing led the troops to defend the city, but in fact they were just waiting.

Wait for the results of the battle between Li Shimin, Xu Shiji and Zhao Qiu.

If Li Shimin wins, Song Que's soldiers will surely be shaken.

Since Zhao Qiu was defeated, the general situation was on Li Tang's side.

Even with Song Que's ability, there was only one way left to retreat.

Don't retreat, after Li Shimin cleans up Zhao Qiu, he will rise up again, at that time, Song Que will not even have a way to retreat.

Conversely, if Zhao Qiu's Sui army wins, then it will be Kou Zhong and Li Jing who will retreat.

In the same way, Zhao Qiu came with a victorious army and joined forces with Song Que, they couldn't resist it.

At that time, there was no choice but to run away immediately and run back to Chang'an to defend to the death.

Other than that, there is no other way to choose.

On the top of the city, Kou Zhong and Li Jing fought side by side.

The majestic bodies of the two are particularly eye-catching.

Kou Zhong looked out of the city and sighed: "Brother Li, you say that in this world, you have to fight for the past and come back, why bother?"

Li Jing was shocked and said: "Since the Jin Dynasty, there have been hundreds of years of turmoil. The people have no means of living, and there are more than one household in ten! Originally, the Great Sui was established, and the north and south were unified. The situation is very good! Unfortunately, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty appeared. Everything The chaos has intensified!

In the final analysis, we are fighting for the past, not for the future peace and prosperity! "

After a pause, he sighed again: "Nowadays, this battle that has lasted for hundreds of years is almost coming to an end!"

Kou Zhonghu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Brother Li, I have known you for many years, please tell me that Sui Emperor Yang Xuyan will be a good emperor in the future?"

Li Jing shook his head and said: "Although Yang Xuyan is a nobleman of Tianhuang, he still has an inexplicable relationship with the Demon Sect! Therefore, it is very difficult to say what will happen in the future!"

Kou Zhong sighed and stopped talking.

It seemed that his fate was no longer in his control.

All victory or defeat is in that battle of Hanzhong.

The result is unpredictable.

Li Jing hesitated to speak.

Kou Zhong sighed, "Brother Li wants to talk about that matter?"

He has known Li Jing for many years, so of course he knows what is on his mind.

……

Hanzhong, located between the Qinling Mountains and the Daba Mountains, is the only way to go out of Shu and enter Shu. It can not only serve as a transfer station for grain and soldiers, but also effectively solve the problems of insufficient food supply and difficulties for soldiers to go north.

In the past, the weak state of Shu occupied this place. With Hanzhong's dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it made the powerful state of Shu feel uncomfortable.

Now Emperor "Yang Xuyan" of the Sui Dynasty led 20 troops, set off from Xuanhan, Yizhou, trekked mountains and rivers, and invaded Hanzhong. It was like a row of nails that could not be removed, which made Li Tang panic.

The military strength of "Yang Xuyan" is by no means limited to the military strength of the Shu Kingdom in the past.

He led 20 troops, even when the Shu Kingdom was strong and prosperous in the past, there were never such a large number of troops.
