[In July, Li Shimin led various armies to attack Wang Shichong in Luoyi, and the army was stationed in Guzhou. 】

[On this day, Li Shimin only took Yu Chigong out to investigate, don't meet Wang Shichong's army and fall into heavy encirclement. 】

[Wang Shichong's general Shan Xiongxin wanted to capture Li Shimin alive, but Yu Chigong was so brave that he repelled this tiger general with a single horse, and the rest of the soldiers were actually scared away by him. 】

[The king of Qin, Li Shimin, was so good at arrows, that every enemy fell in response, and Wang Shichong's tens of thousands of troops were actually scared back!It is a miracle that Li Shimin and Li Shimin were able to break out from the thousands of troops! 】

[Li Shimin's personal force is not as good as Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, but he is also a rare opponent. 】

【He once boasted to Yuchi Gong, I have a longbow in my hand, and you have a horse, even if there is an army of one hundred thousand, what can we do? 】

[And this encounter proved that what Li Shimin said was true. 】

[Because Luoyang City is tall and strong, and there are many soldiers in the city, and there are sufficient food, grass and weapons, it is impossible to attack for a while. 】

[Li Shimin decided not to attack for the time being, but to besiege with heavy troops. 】

[Then send troops to cut off all the cities around Luoyang City, as well as Wang Shichong's Zheng Guo army. 】

[Within a few months, Xing, Bian, Wei, and Yu Jiuzhou came to surrender one by one.Wang Shichong's territory almost completely fell into the hands of Li Tang. 】

[Wang Shichong was unwilling to sit still and waited for death, and frequently sent troops out of the city to attack.But they were all defeated by Li Shimin. 】

[In February of the fourth year of Wude (621), Li Shimin entered Qingcheng Palace, but the camp had not yet been established, and Wang Shichong's army of [-] troops marched from Fangzhumen facing Gushui. 】

[The two sides fought from morning to afternoon, and Wang Shichong's army began to retreat.Li Shimin commanded soldiers to pursue, captured and beheaded a total of 8000 people. 】

[Wang Shichong retreated to the city and dared not fight any more. 】

[At this time, Xia Wang Dou Jiande led an army of [-] to assist Wang Shichong. 】

[Xiao Yu, Qu Tutong, and Feng Deyi were terrified and worried about being attacked, so they asked to retreat to Guzhou. 】

[However, Li Shimin was full of confidence. He personally led [-] Xuanjia troops and rushed to Hulao Pass, creating a victory of one enemy and thirty that is unique in history! 】

[Dou Jiande went west from Xingyang, built a camp at Banzhu, and Li Shimin stationed troops at Hulao Pass, and the two sides faced off for more than 20 days. 】

[Li Shimin heard the news, Dou Jiande found out that the Tang Army's livestock had run out of food and grass, and planned to take the opportunity to attack Hulao Pass when the Tang Army grazed horses on the north bank of the Yellow River. 】

[Li Shimin followed his plan and put his horses to graze on the north bank of the Yellow River to lure the enemy. 】

[Sure enough, Dou Jiande led all the troops out and lined up for several miles.Wang Shichong's generals were there to help, and the army was so powerful that Li Shimin's soldiers were a little scared. 】

[Li Shimin personally led several soldiers to stand on a high place to watch Dou Jiande's army. 】

[He said that they shouted when they crossed a dangerous place, which is a lack of military discipline; when they approached the city wall to form an array, it was arrogance. 】

【If we hold our troops back, their momentum will be exhausted. If we stay in the formation for too long, the soldiers will be hungry and will retreat. If we continue to pursue them, we will be invincible.After noon, we must defeat the enemy. 】

【Dou Jiande formed the formation. From morning to afternoon, the soldiers were hungry and tired. They all sat in the formation and competed for drinking water. The team suddenly scattered. 】

[Li Shimin ordered: Attack! 】

【He personally led the light cavalry to attack, and the [-] Xuanjia troops were divided into five or six small teams, rushing like wolves and tigers. 】

[Dou Jiande's [-] troops suddenly fell into chaos. 】

[Chased and attacked for 3000 miles, beheaded more than [-] people, captured [-] thieves, and captured Dou Jiande alive in the formation. 】

[Three thousand and five hundred soldiers defeated an army of one hundred thousand, it is like a myth and legend! 】

[Li Shimin blamed Dou Jiande, I asked the teacher to inquire about the crime, it was Wang Shichong's responsibility to win and lose, it was none of your business, why crossed the border and offended our army? 】

【Dou Jiande said, if I don't come, wouldn't I have to bother you to launch an expedition? 】

[This Dou Jiande is quite humorous! 】

Everyone laughed.

[Li Shimin ordered people to escort Dou Jiande around the outside of Luoyang City. Wang Shichong had no fighting spirit, led his men to open the door, and left the city to surrender. 】

[Li Shimin captured the two kings in one battle, so far, the Tang Dynasty has basically pacified the world. 】

[Li Yuan believes that the old official ranks are not enough to commend Li Shimin's meritorious deeds since ancient times.He added Li Shimin as Tiance Admiral, titled Daxingtai, Shangshuling, and was above the prince.There will be an increase of [-] households in Shiyi, and a total of [-] households including the previous ones. 】

[Li Shimin opened a literary museum to receive talented scholars from all over the world.Xingtai Sixun Langzhong Du Ruhui and other 18 people are bachelors, and talents from all walks of life come here especially. 】

[Although shortly afterwards, Dou Jiande's former subordinate Liu Heita rebelled, and Xu Yuanlang also provoked the Tang Dynasty, but they were all quickly put down by Li Shimin. 】

[In the eighth year of Wude, Tang Gaozu Li Yuan promoted Li Shimin to the order of Zhongshu. 】

[Datang Jiangshan has basically stabilized. 】

[The entire Tang Dynasty was almost brought down by Li Shimin.Since ancient times, the founding emperors and brave men have hardly surpassed Li Shimin. 】

[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin wore a yellow robe and easily picked the peaches of Hou Zhou, while the other sporadic forces he wiped out were far too different from the strength of the Song Dynasty. 】

[There is no comparison at all. 】

[Datang completely defeated forces stronger than himself one by one step by step. 】

Zhao Kuangyin's face turned dark, this stain could never be washed away.

[Originally, the Great Liao Kingdom in the north was far less powerful than the latter. If Zhao Kuangyin first pacified the Liao Kingdom and took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, there would be no confrontation between Song and Liao later, and even the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

[Because the strength of the Liao Kingdom was stronger than that of the Central Plains at that time, he did not face it for the time being, and implemented the plan of first going south and then going north. The situation was over. 】

[The Liao Kingdom has achieved unification, and its strength has become stronger. It is not easy to touch at all. Zhao Kuangyin completely missed the opportunity. 】

[Zhao Kuangyin has meritorious service, but from this point of view, he is a sinner through the ages. 】

[Because of his policy and the national policy he set for the Song Dynasty, the descendants of the descendants are all eager to seek peace, racking their brains to squeeze out generals, so that the Chinese people since the Han and Tang Dynasties, with blood and martial arts, have completely become a group of people who are allowed to be slaughtered sheep. 】

[In the face of Liao and Jin, the tens of millions of Han people could still support them relying on the national power accumulated over hundreds of years. 】

[And when the strength was exhausted, the entire Han family finally fell into the hands of the Mongols. 】

[People in the south of the Yangtze River have been subjugated slaves for 100 years, while the people in the north have been subjugated slaves for 250 years, and they were not recovered until Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was really no heroic and brave monarch, so that Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of it. 】

[Even if there is another half Chai Rong-like Emperor Wu, it will never be Zhao Kuangyin's turn to save the world. 】
