<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > Pei Silent to fight for a breath</h1>
Suspected of Li Shimin, Li Yuan sent another old minister to save Taiyuan and returned in a fiasco
Last time, it was mentioned that Li Yuanji Yuci was defeated and lost in battle, and the imperial court was shocked. Li Yuan was so angry that he scolded this boy as a loser. Jiang Baoyi, who went to the rescue, committed suicide and Li Zhongwen fled back to Chang'an. Now I know that Liu Wuzhou is really not easy to deal with. Depressed.
Pei Huan expected that Li Yuan was in distress, so he went to visit Li Yuan's palace. Pei Ning was one of the most special ministers. He could go to Li Yuan's palace at any time to meet the emperor. After Li Yuan became emperor, he still used to call Pei Huan pei jian, indicating that they were still old friends in the past. During the shang dynasty, the emperor beckoned Pei Ning to sit on the dragon chair together to listen to the government, and after the next dynasty, they played chess together, and sometimes with high interest, they took Yin Defei and Zhang Jieyu to Pei Ning's prime minister's mansion to drink and have fun. There is really nothing to talk about between them, and there is no taboo in state affairs and family affairs. Now Pei Huan thought about what the emperor thought, anxious about the emperor's anxiety, and wanted to surprise the emperor who was full of sorrow.
When Li Yuan heard the eunuch report that Pei Zaixiang had come to see him, he hurriedly greeted him: Hurry up, please hurry up!
Li Yuan said, "Pei Jian, you know the dangerous situation in Taiyuan, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, the thieves, dare to be so rampant and despise me. Shiro, the loser, doesn't fight for me, he really me to death...
Pei Huan said, "Your Majesty, I know your difficulties. At present, the most capable generals are in Changchun Palace. ”
Pei Huan said to Li Yuan, "Your Majesty, I know your difficulties. At present, the most capable generals are in Changchun Palace. ”
Li Yuan said, "I will not use those people until I have no choice." "The people of the Changchun Palace that Li Yuan and Pei Huan said refer to the subordinates of Li Shimin of the Qin Dynasty.
Pei Huan said, "I understand, so I am here today to relieve the emperor." ”
Li Yuan said, "Is there any good way?" ”
Pei Huan said, "How do you see the Old Decadent Leader going out on the expedition?" ”
Li Yuan was surprised and said, "How can you let the prime minister take this risk?" Li Yuan said this on his lips, thinking in his heart, do you have the experience of leading the army to fight?
Of course, Pei Huan understood what Li Yuan was thinking, so he responded: "Although Wei Chen has no experience in leading a war, he knows the geography of Taiyuan's geography and mountains, and the local officials of various prefectures and counties. ”
Li Yuan immediately said, "Then it is also necessary to say that as long as the officials and people in the Taiyuan area hear that Pei Jian's leader is coming, those who are not welcome by the pot pulp will certainly be highly moraleed and the military might be greatly enhanced." ”
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Okay! That's how it was decided. ”
Some people may ask, Pei Ning, a person who raised troops from Taiyuan to Chang'an, at the crucial moment was to persuade Li Yuan to retreat, and he almost ruined the future of The Tang Dynasty several times. How could Li Yuan let such a mediocre person save the crisis? Indeed, Li Yuan is not unaware, but he is in a dilemma, and now, Liu Wenjing is still in prison (the first two times liu Wenjing was killed is a later thing, this time and the last time is to talk about what happened during the period before Liu Wenjing was killed), Pei Huan must be to show merit, wash away the shame that Liu Wenjing gave him, Li Yuan can't help but take care of it. In addition, Li Yuan himself also thought that this Erlang (Li Shimin) was becoming more and more meritorious, and it was inevitable that one day even the imperial power of his father's emperor would be threatened, and he would never be given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to Erlang again. Besides, as long as Pei Ning is given enough troops, the strongest generals are rationed, and sufficient military supplies are given, they are not afraid of fighting or not winning a battle. Once this battle is won, we can let Erlang and those important courtiers who support Li Shimin see that the world of Li Yuan is still brilliant without Li Shimin.
Therefore, Li Yuan planned a marching route and important battles for Pei Huan. Li Yuan said: "I thought that our army could go to Jiezhou to take the initiative to attack Liu Wuzhou, so as to contain Liu Wuzhou's army to increase its troops to Taiyuan. "If our army can retake Jiezhou and then take advantage of the victory to capture Pingyao, then it can drive straight into Taiyuan." In this way, Liu Wuzhou would withdraw his army and return to Yanyang. At that time, our army will launch a large-scale counterattack, so Liu Wuzhou will be broken! ”
Pei Huan raised an eyebrow and said, "If you can capture Jiezhou, then it will be easy to break Liu Wuzhou." The emperor's plan was brilliant, and Wei Chen could only repay the emperor with a bow and a death. At this time, Pei Huan really felt as if he was a hero who had returned from victory.
Early the next day, Li Yuan appointed Pei Huan as the commander-in-chief of the Jinzhou Dao march and led an army of 20,000 to Jiezhou to attack Liu Wuzhou. At the same time, two generals, Dou Chun and Wang Changhuan, were sent to assist Pei Huan.
Two days later, Pei Huan was ordered to lead his army out of Chang'an and march towards Jiezhou.
Tang Gaozu Li Yuan
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > Pei Lonely went his own way and camped in Suoyuan</h1>
Jiezhou is located in the central part of Shanxi Province, bordering Pingyao and Fenyang to the northeast and Lingshi to the southwest. From Chang'an to Jiezhou is nearly 1,000 miles (480 km). After about 10 days of rapid marching, in early September, Pei's troops arrived in Jiezhou and chose to camp in Dusuoyuan. Duso was originally located under the Jieshan Mountains in the southeast of Jiezhou, and there is a mountain stream with a water source in the south. This water source comes from a high place. Experienced General Dou Chun, he found that this camp was potentially dangerous. He reported to Pei Huan: "Lord Pei, there is only one water source in our garrison, and if the water source is cut off by the enemy, it will be dangerous." ”
Pei Huan said, "What General Dou said is that you can inspect a more suitable camp again. ”
Wang Changhuan said, "Lord Pei, without further ado, the art of war should be done in advance in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong." "If the enemy reaches the top of the mountain before our army reaches the mountain and cuts off the water source, the problem will be serious." Under the imploration of Lord Pei to immediately give the order, order a team of men and horses to go to the mountains to guard the water source! ”
Pei Huan said with a cold face with dissatisfaction: "Although Pei Mou is not talented, since the Jinyang uprising, he has followed the emperor to fight everywhere, and the emperor often asks Pei mou for advice, you are good, dare to laugh at Pei Mou's ignorance of the art of war, hum!" ”
Wang Changhuan hurriedly apologized, but still said: "In the next bold way, I will persuade Lord Pei again, and hurry up and send troops!" ”
Pei Huan stubbornly replied, "Wait until tomorrow morning when the matter is discussed!" ”
Dou Chun knew that Wang Changhuan's suggestion was very correct, so he interjected: "Lord Pei, General Wang is right, send troops early, more safety!" ”
Pei Huan was not happy in his heart, so he said, "Okay! General Wang was in charge of the matter and set off tomorrow morning. ”
The next day, when the sky was dark, Wang Changhuan led his troops to cut the steep path between the mountains and marched quickly. After about half an hour, they climbed to the top of the mountain one by one with a heavy breath.
Wang Changhuan found that the surrounding area was quiet, and could not help but whisper a burst of joy, who knew that the secret forest suddenly sounded a shout of killing, and the enemy's general Chi Jingde came straight to him with a horse mallet. Tang Bing was ambushed and could only rush to battle. They fought and retreated, and they retreated to the camp.
Pei Huan saw that Wang Changhuan had been defeated and returned, and he was punished by military law. Fortunately, Dou Chun and other generals quickly interceded for him, and Wang Changhuan was spared death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="45" > encountered the Jiezhou chief Song Jingang and the general Chi Jingde</h1>
How could Tang Jun be suddenly attacked? It turned out that Song Jingang, who was guarding Jiezhou in Zhenshou Prefecture, had two generals, Chi Jingde and Xun Xiang, both of whom were great figures, and when Pei Huan arrived in Jiezhou, they plotted how to cut off the water source and how to surround and annihilate the Tang army when the Tang army moved the camp. As Expected by Song Jingang and Wei Chi Jingde, after du suoyuan's water source was cut off, Pei Huan stayed on the mountain for two or three days, and due to the lack of water, the soldiers were hungry and thirsty. Wang Changhuan led the small army to find a new source of water in the Western Mountains. Pei Huan hurriedly began to move the camp to the West Mountain that night.
Wei Chi Jingde
All this was under Wei Chi Jingde's eyes. Wei Chi Jingde ambushed the soldiers at Xishan, twenty miles away from Du Suoyuan, and as soon as the Tang army arrived, he attacked from all sides. On the third day, it was 11:00 to 2:00 p.m., and the tang soldiers could not see where the enemy was. You can imagine how terrifying that scene was. Most of the 20,000 Tang troops were killed by arrows and their corpses crossed the valley. Pei Huan, under the protection of Dou Chun and Wang Changhuan, rushed out of the siege and fled all the way to Jinzhou, with only more than a hundred soldiers around him. From the Expedition of Chang'an to the fiasco of Du Suoyuan, it was only about half a month.
In order to prevent Liu Wuzhou's army from attacking Chang'an, Pei Ning informed local officials to order the people to burn granaries, burn houses, and then hide in the city, causing the anger of the people. Lü Chongmao of Xia County revolted, and Wang Xingben of Puzhou rebelled, and Pei Ning was defeated by them and hid in the area of Yuncheng, Shanxi. At this time, Pei Huan was really like a dog that had lost his family, and finally, he fled back to Chang'an.
So what should Li Yuan do?
