Wude five years, midsummer.

Outside Longxi City, by the Weishui River.

Li Shimin personally went out of the city to welcome Zhang Chao and his party. After searching under the six crows for a long time, he finally confirmed that what he came was Zhang Chao, the general manager of the Right Back Army, appointed by him.

Zhang Chao, the chief of the Right Front Army, Li Shousu, the chief of the Right Front Army, Xu Jingzong, the chief of the Left Back Army, Cui Shanfu, the Sima of the Right Back Army, Ma Zhou, Cen Wenben, and Li Yan, the governor of Qinzhou...

Zhang Chao jumped off his horse and came to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin is still alive, but he is a little embarrassed. He is a little thinner, his eyes are still blood-red, and the armor on his body is covered with dark red blood scabs, and a bloody smell comes to his nose.

"The last general, Zhang Chao, the general manager of the Right Rear Army, is late to rescue, please forgive me!"

Li Shimin took two steps forward and held Zhang Chao's arm.

"I am grateful, too late. Wenyuan, Wenyuan, you are so beyond our expectations. You are really here in time."

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others all looked at Zhang Chao, their eyes full of gratitude. After a long time of late, Zhang Chao had to collect their bodies.

In Longxi City, more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians who survived were each full of gratitude to Zhang Chao.

"The bloody battle lasted seven days and nights, killing more than 5,000 enemies, blood flowed into a river, and corpses piled up like mountains. Fortunately, you rescued in time, and the army destroyed Fang Weicheng!" Li Shimin didn't care about anything else, and held Zhang Chao's hand affectionately and sighed.

Although this war was not large in scale, it was called the most dangerous time since Li Shimin led the army to fight.

"How many casualties are in the city?" Zhang Chao asked.

Both of them were bold and terrified at this time. Zhang Chao's back was already soaked with sweat.

Speaking of casualties, Li Shimin's face was a little decisive. He led nearly 13,000 troops to defend Longxi City for seven days, and there were still thousands of people in the city.

These seven days were all supported by one breath, and finally, with a slowdown strategy, delaying for another night before Zhang Chao arrived. He killed more than 5,000 enemies, but their own casualties were also quite astonishing.

With the continuous attacks of the Tuyuhun people, they always put their lives on their backs.

"More than 6,000 people were killed in battle, and more than 1,000 people were seriously injured. Slight injuries were not counted." Du Ruhui hung his arm and had gauze wrapped around his head. Zhang Chao almost recognized him just now. This was Du Ruhui, who was Li Shimin's right-hand man.

"More than 6,000 deaths in battle and more than 1,000 serious injuries?" Zhang Chao couldn't help but take a breath. The number of casualties was a bit amazing.

"More than 3,000 soldiers were killed in battle, more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers were killed, and more than 1,000 people were killed in the city!"

A few cold numbers are everywhere, but the tragic attack and defense battle is everywhere.

Fortunately, it was in the city, and fortunately, the palace soldiers were the emperor's guards from the capital.

Even if the casualties were eliminated, Li Shimin brought more than 6,000 casualties, which meant 50% of the war losses.

If there is a field battle, almost no army can fight to the remaining 50% of them, and even if they defend the city, it will be a bit miraculous.

On the other hand, Li Shimin fought against six with one and fought almost one-to-one damage.

Zhang Chao is really impressed. He is worthy of being the King of Generals and the Emperor of Martial Arts. Most people probably can't do it.

"Wenyuan, have you not met Tuyuhun people all the way?" Li Shimin always had a puzzled heart.

Li Yan, the governor of Qinzhou, couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, Zhang Xueshi is really a god. Maybe your highness doesn't believe it when he says it. Previously, more than 6,000 Xiang Qiang rebels were rampant in Qinzhou. At that time, I had just arrived at Fu Qiang from Cheng Ji and supervised the food and grass there, but the Qiang people were killed. Three thousand of them surrounded Fu Qiang and attacked and plundered the east..."

Li Yan is very eloquent, and this civil servant is quite good at being a good friend. Li Yan, who was born in Li, Longxi, can also have some distant relationships with the Royal Family. Li Yan is most famous for being one of the two people who are most proficient in genealogy, and the other is Li Shousu, a meat copy.

But when the Qiang people besieged Fuqiang City, this genealogist blocked the siege of the three thousand Qiang people with only the five hundred soldiers in the city and the people in the city.

However, Li Shimin was not interested in this.

"Sanlang is in Yanhe City, and he wiped out three thousand Qiang troops?"

Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were all shocked and could not speak. Even Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, Gongsun Wuda, and Liu Shili were stunned.

“How did it do it?”

Li Shimin is also a veteran who has fought for many years. He is very clear about the situation of Zhang Chao's troops. He has recruited less than a month, never trained, and most of them are not even a child. Some young middle-aged men are farmers, workshop apprentices, and have no equipment. They can actually destroy three thousand Qiang people in one battle?

Even if it is the 300 Qiang people, it is not easy.

And it was completely wiped out, and no one was lost. How could this be done? Li Shimin asked himself that if he was Zhang Chao, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"Your Highness, the last general just took advantage of the situation and adapted to local conditions, and then used a plan to lure the enemy into the city, and surrounded and annihilate it." Zhang Chao said lightly.

After Li Shimin's repeated questioning, Xu Jingzong used his eloquence to explain the detailed situation of Yanhe City at that time. From Zhang Chao sending scouts all the way out to reconnaissance, to discovering the Dangxiang rebels in advance, and then decisively retreating back to Yanhe City.

Then he defended the city wall several times and defeated the Qiang people's attack.

Then Zhang Chao boldly lured the enemy into the city, and more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians fought back, annihilated nearly a thousand enemies, captured more than 2,000 prisoners, and did not let a single Qiang bandit go, and his losses were only a few hundred people.

Three thousand enemies were annihilated, thousands of war horses were seized, and many weapons and armor were seized.

God! Zhang Liang, Hou Junji, and Zhang Gongjin were admired by all the generals. They had been through the battle formation for a long time, but they could not have imagined that Zhang Chao's bold plan was like this. The key is that Zhang Chao was not only bold, but also won beautifully.

Tang Jian, Yu Wenshi, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Yu Zhining and Yu Shinan, a group of scholars who survived the disaster, even more admired Zhang Chaosheng. Both Hanlin Bachelors, Zhang Chao was much younger than them, but he was already literary and martial.

They only think that Zhang Chao's performance in the river city can only be evaluated by being naturally handsome.

But compared to Xie Xuan, Chen Qingzhi, Yang Su, and Li Mi, they are all awesome.

Li Shimin pulled Zhang Chao and looked up and down carefully. Zhang Chao made him a little unfamiliar. He was left for three days and looked at him with admiration.

Li Yan also gave Zhang Chao a good comment.

He brought five hundred people to defend the danger of defending Qiang City, but Zhang Chao came over with a big swaying force and scared the three thousand Qiang people away.

"And then you showed up directly outside Longxi City with these new recruits and civilians? You never thought that maybe Murong Fuyun would see through your reality?"

Zhang Chao smiled.

"Of course I thought about it, and the general knew that he was taking risks, just like walking on a string and dancing on an egg. But at that time, I couldn't afford to think too much. The general knew that His Highness was still defending Longxi City, with few soldiers and few generals, and knew that His Highness was waiting for the arrival of the general."

"Even if the Dangxiang people really see through my reality, I will at least reach the city of Longxi, and at least I will still attract some Dangxiang troops for Your Majesty, and maybe let Your Highness break through."

Li Shimin was very moved.

"All the soldiers followed me into the city!" Li Shimin took Zhang Chao's hand and walked towards the city together.

"A thousand miles of rescue, leaping across the horse, only General Zhang is the only one who is going to be!" Li Shimin laughed loudly, almost bursting with tears.

The two armies cheered and entered Longxi City together.

With only more than 10,000 troops alone and in the absence of food and grass, Li Shimin insisted on retreating. Now, the god-like Zhang Chao arrived with 18,000 people and a large number of food and grass and weapons, so Li Shimin could not retreat again.

The situation is still very dangerous.

But Li Shimin believed that they had finally come to this point and could never retreat.

There were more than 20,000 soldiers, and even if two-thirds of them were new recruits, Li Shimin did not retreat.

Now that the morale of the army is in full swing, he feels that he can defend, not only must he defend, but also prepares to fight.

The newly arrived soldiers took over the city defense. The newly arrived civilians and young men helped repair the city defense fortifications. The wounded soldiers in the city also received a large number of newly arrived medicines and were better treated.

Zhang Chao, Xu Jingzong and Li Shimin were sitting in the county government office to discuss matters.

"I can finally have a hot meal and jerky meat, it's great!" Changsun Wuji laughed.

Li Shimin also chewed the bacon in big mouthfuls and ate it voraciously.

After eating several big bowls of rice in one go, Li Shimin exhaled.

"Wen Yuan, your right rear army will retain it, and all the new soldiers of the right front and left rear army will be added to the central army, the left and right Yuhou army and the left front army."

The Seventh Army, and the Five Armies were all over.

Zhang Chao still commanded his right rear army, and his troops were kept intact.

"A day off and go to war tomorrow!" Li Shimin said hatefully.

"Your Highness, I will say something until I don't know whether to say it or not!" Zhang Chao spoke.

"you say."

Zhang Chao sorted out his thinking, organized the words, and slowly said, "I will think that we can't fight any more."

"This should not be said by the brave and powerful Zhang Sanlang." Li Shimin looked at Zhang Chao.

"The last general is not a person who fears the war. It's just that the current situation is that when we start a war, we don't have much chance of winning, and it can even be said to be extremely dangerous. Although there are more than 20,000 people in the city, there are only 6,000 real soldiers, and they are all extremely tired, almost everyone is injured."

"If you guard the city, if you have new recruits to supplement them and food, you will not be afraid of 50,000 Tuyuhun people. But if you take the initiative to attack or even fight in the wild, you will have no chance of victory. Your Highness, those new recruits will be defeated by Tuyuhun people without the protection of the city walls."

Zhang Chao must persuade Li Shimin to give up the idea of ​​sending troops.

He came here all the way and successfully cheated the chicken, but he didn't expect to end up running out to deliver the dishes.

"Today, the Tuyuhun people retreated was just because they were deceived by our bluff. If we don't leave the city, we can still cheat them again, but once we leave the city, we will inevitably lose our best."

After Zhang Chao persuaded him, the fire in Li Shimin's heart also dropped a lot.

"What about your opinion?"
