Zhang Xuansu reported, "After surrendering, several generals in Tang Jun told the original Xiang Wuwang Li Chenjiang that there were 30,000 Hedong troops when he was the main manager, and when Duan Zhixuan took over the main manager, the military forces were transferred away by Li Shimin, with more than 10,000 troops. Moreover, it was not that the elite equipment was insufficient and the daily supplies were not enough, and the morale of the foot soldiers was not high."
Li Chongjiu nodded when I heard this. "I left a few people to guard Jiangzhou for nothing. It seems that Li Shimin really has a plan to give up Jiangdou Hedong. So you can be sure that Li Shimin’s elite main force is not Hedong. Zhang Qing, where do you look?"
Zhang Xuansu wanted to think, "It’s not easy to judge. Maybe Tong may also be Chang ‘an. It’s more likely that I’ll come to see Li Shimin. I’m not waiting for death. Chang ‘an may be nothing. Either I beat our main force all the way before the decisive battle in Wang Junkuo, west of the river, or I learned that my army in Luoyang was advancing from Tong Dong and taking Luoyang directly to reverse the unfavorable situation."
After listening to Zhang Xuansu’s analysis of Li Chongjiu, he thought deeply, "So can this situation be taken into account when calculating the temple?"
Zhang Xuansu told us, "We have all considered whether Li Shimin leads Tang Jun’s main force to the west or to Chang ‘an to the east, so it is necessary for our army to seize Chang ‘an. Chang ‘an is the center of the country, and if there is no Chang ‘an gate valve, it will not support Li Shimin."
"This is not necessarily true!" Yoshikawa objected, "I heard that the former Tang Dynasty Hall of Li Dynasty had moved its capital several times because of fatigue. I think if Li Shimin gave up Chang ‘an to leave a city and deliberately led us to attack, he would lead his main force to capture Luoyang or defeat Wang Junkuo marked army."
See Li Chongjiu noncommittally to his suggestion. Yoshikawa also said, "I heard that Li Shimin will also move the Queen and Taidu to Sichuan and Sichuan, and it seems that there is a plan to separate Sichuan and Sichuan from the king."
Li Chongjiu listened to Yoshikawa and asked, "Zhang Aiqing, Yu Aiqing, do you think assistant minister Ji’s analysis makes sense? Will Li Shimin move the capital to avoid the edge of our army? "
Zhang Xuansu is very cautious and tunnel "I think there is indeed this possibility that I dare not judge."
Yu Shinan said, "I think it’s impossible for Li Shimin to give up Chang ‘an. If so, the foundation of Li Tang will be shaken."
Li Chongjiu said, "Yes, I don’t think it’s possible. I understand that if Li Shimin really retired from Sichuan and Sichuan without fighting, he wouldn’t be Li Shimin, but Tang Jun’s movements will be known when our army attacks Chang ‘an."
With that, Li Chongjiu opened the window, and the heavy rain outside rolled up the car.
"Where did the car go?"
"It’s almost pleasant to report back."
Li Chongjiu said, "In addition, Weichi Gong, Su Dingfang and Luo Shixin must cross the Yellow River Army and set up a pontoon bridge three days later to attack the Pujin striker."
"promise!"
The heavy rain hit the waves of the Yellow River rolling eastward.
The Yellow River is turbid, and hundreds of warships are passing along the river.
In the past, Li Tang Qi Wang Li Yuanji Lujiang Wang Li Yuan and these two men were riding along the Yellow River in a warship, while 15,000 Zhao troops were riding along the river in a warship.
It was Li Yuanji’s suggestion to Li Chongjiu to build a ship from the Yellow River and cut the Tang Dynasty, and it was adopted. At the beginning, Li Yuanji planned to build a fleet navy at the Yellow River and then go straight along the Yellow River to reach Chang ‘an directly through Weishui or Guangtong Canal.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Qin once benefited from the famine and lack of food in the State of Jin, and borrowed food from the State of Qin. Later, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the five tyrants and one Qin Mugong agreed to send a grain boat to transport ten thousand tons of grain from Yongcheng, Qin Dou, and then change it to Fenhe River to transport grain from Jiangcheng, jindun, and white sails to transport grain from jindun, Qin Dou. It is called this boating service.
Li Yuanji’s suggestion is very insightful for Zhao Jun, who has always transported troops and grain by Lishui Road. If the boat transports grain, this time it can cut down the Tang Dynasty except for 200,000 people’s battles. Li Chongjiu couldn’t believe that Li Yuanji came up with a plan when he first heard about it.
Li Chongjiu discussed Li Yuanji’s proposal with the Chinese province to see if it was feasible, but in the end, the Chinese province rejected the Li Yuanji plan
Because the Weihe River is no longer worse than the Weihe River at the beginning, the river silted up seriously, and it was not enough for big ships to pass by. Later, the Guangtong Canal was opened by Emperor Emperor Wen of Sui of Sui Dynasty, and it was too far away. It was considered not feasible to attack Chang ‘an by boat from the Yellow River.
However, after Zhang Xuansu saw the Li Yuanji plan, he was greatly inspired to come up with an alternative plan, which recognized that the Yellow River’s shipbuilding was changed from land and water to attack Pujin. After that, the battleship Yellow River set up a pontoon bridge to let the army cross the Yellow River.
This plan was appreciated by Li Chongjiu as feasible. Last year, Li Chongjiu of Weichi Gong instructed him to attack the three counties of Hedong and seized the entrance of Fenhe River. Then Li Yuan of Li Yuanji moved here to build a ship.
At present, Li Yuanji Li Yuan led 10,000 military forces adapted from Tang Jun’s army, and Xue Wanjun’s 5,000 Xiao Guards took a boat to push Pujin, while on the other hand, Weichi Gong, Luo Shixin and Su Dingfang attacked Jiangzhou with a potential rate of 30,000 military forces approaching Pujin by land.
At the beginning, the strategic concept of Zhang Xuansu’s amphibious assault was reached.
But this is not good news for Tang Jun garrison commander Cheng Yaojin …

Chapter one hundred and forty-three Pretend to divide the army
During the Warring States Period in Pujin, Wei was placed here to guard against the Qin State in Hexi, which was also called Pubanjin Qin State. When Qin Shihuang took the road from Xianyang to the north, it went out of Liyang Road, that is, Pujin Road, which could reach Jinyang directly from Xianyang.
In the Han Dynasty, Pujin set up an official to mock Cao Cao’s trip to the Three Kingdoms, and made general Xu Huang and Zhu Ling cross Pubanjin. According to Hexi Camp, Xu Huang wrote to Cao Cao that our troops were stationed in Tong, and Ma Chao would no longer keep Pujin’s knowledge.
When the Emperor was opened, the capital of Sui Dynasty attached great importance to the traffic defense of Pujin, and set up a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River and built a city in the river. In ancient Chinese, the name of the city in the city means that the city is built in the river.
By the time Li Chongjiu arrived in Pujin from Wenxi, it had been two days since the amphibious assault on Pujin.
The city drums beat the generals’ staff and surrounded Li Chongjiu to climb the platform and look into the distance.
However, I saw the turbid yellow Yellow River rushing through the Yellow River from a distance, and hundreds of black warships were floating on the surface of the Yellow River. These warships were storming the city in the middle of the river along the river.
The general who presided over the attack was Li Yuanji Li Yuan, but seeing that Li Yuanji personally held the halberd bow and yelled and commanded the left and right foot soldiers to approach the bow of the city, Zhao Jun crossbowman’s rocket kept shooting into the city of Zhongcheng, and Chengcheng had already ignited black smoke in several places.
On the surface of the water, Li Yuanji ordered the Zhao fleet to sail close to the city firewood pile and throw it into the city to burn it. In the city, Tang Jun was also desperate to resist the interception of the Zhao arms ship and threw Zhao into the city firewood and throw it out of the city.
The fierce battle in Zhongcheng City is very fierce, and the land is also average.
After two unsuccessful attacks on Zhao, Li Tang stepped up its defense against Pujin. Last year, it conquered 50,000 civilian workers and rebuilt Pujin. Six docks were built outside the four gates, and a layer of loess rammed earth wall was built outside the docks, which became a city-by-city separatist regime.
For Li Tangli to build a strong city, even if Luo Shixin Yong Su Dingfang seeks Wei Chi Gong Xiong and Zhao Jun, the three famous generals stormed for two days and still did not shake Pujin’s defense
At the beginning, Li Chongjiu gave the three men an order to cross the Yellow River in three days, but today is the third day. The three of them and Li Yuanji Li Yuan went with the flow, and a total of 45 thousand troops were also in a hurry to launch the most violent offensive in Pujin.
Looking at the high platform, but seeing the fierce battle at the east gate, Wan Zhaojun posed as an attack array, as if the front foot soldiers of the undulating ocean were holding huge shields, and the foot soldiers behind them were holding strong crossbows to reach the city.
The outermost layer of rammed wall was demolished by Zhao, and half of the foot soldiers easily surged from it. At the east gate, Tang Jun built six dock castles, which were also captured by Zhao, and the foot soldiers of Zhao were also attached to the siege.
