Tang gaozu stretched out two fingers in the room and slowly picked up a letter and handed it to Taidao. "This is a letter from Wang Shichong Kuaima, which is very interesting. Please have a look."
Li Jiancheng should open the letter and stare big eyes when reading it.

Chapter 935 Counterplot
Li Jiancheng tapped on the case, which really puzzled him. In addition, he was moved, because Wang Shichong threw a huge cake in his letter.
Tang gaozu watched and coughed constantly. Li Jiancheng suddenly looked up and his eyes were full of worries. "Father Wang Shichong can be blamed for this!"
"How do you say?" Tang gaozu gently wiped his mouth with a piece of brocade in his hand.
"Although my father once ran away from Tong and Hu to help Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong’s virtue is bound to doubt Datang’s sincerity and common sense to infer that his roots can’t let our army go these two ways. Now Wang Shichong has agreed to give up the pot road and part of Hehe County to let our army station. There must be a very sinister plan," said Li Jiancheng, squinting.
"hmm!" Tang gaozu silently nodded too continue to say.
Li Jiancheng coughed and continued, "When I saw Wang Shichong, I dragged him into the Central Plains War before the Tang Dynasty and shared the pressure."
Tang gaozu couldn’t help but squint his eyes and snorted. Although he was unwell, the whole person couldn’t help but be murderous. "I have worked with Wang Shichong for many years and I know that this person is scheming." Listening to Tang gaozu’s words, I have obviously guessed Wang Shichong’s idea and coughed gently for two times. Tang gaozu asked, "I came to you to listen to your opinion. Should this river county be taken?"
This is the problem. If Hejun is taken, Sui Jun will inevitably fight and fall into the deep pit of the Central Plains War. This is not in the interests of Datang. The purpose of Datang is to enter this battle before the Sui Dynasty and the puppet Zheng are exhausted, which will consume Datang’s strength
Li Jiancheng frowned and thought hard for half a ring before he said, "Father, now that the snow has fallen, even if Yang You wants to move his troops, he can’t move for the time being. My opinion is to stay put for the time being and wait for the opportunity to send troops to the river until spring comes. At that time, our army will surely win a big victory."
Tang gaozu was about to speak when suddenly Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, said, "Father, emperor and son are requested."
"It’s YuanJi! Come in! " Li Yuan said
Li Yuanji hurried in to see the eldest brother and couldn’t help but be stunned. "I have seen my father’s eldest brother!"
"Yuanji, come and sit!" Li Jiancheng laughed.
Li Yuanji hurried past, saying, "Father, emperor, son and minister received the news that Sui Jun had breached the tiger prison and the Xuanmen soldiers had crushed Yanshi. Now Wang Shichong has let Dan Xiongxin withdraw from the river where Ji County is stationed."
Tang gaozu Li Jiancheng couldn’t help but be shocked at one another. At the same time, both of them suddenly realized that Bai Wang Shichong was so generous to hand over the river county to Tang gaozu. He couldn’t help but gently knock on the case and ponder over the countermeasures that Datang should take.
Li Jiancheng bowed his hand and said, "Father, it seems that the national policy of Datang needs to change now. I suggest that the state and county soldiers should be called out immediately. If Wang Shichong really gives up the river Datang, he will immediately occupy the river!" Although it is known that Datang can gain certain benefits, and the longer Wang Shichong supports it, the greater the consumption of Sui Jun. From this point of view, it is also in the interests of Datang.
Tang gaozu hesitated for a while and said, "So people lead the troops?" It is the best choice to come to the king of Qin, but now Li Yuan is somewhat disappointed with Li Shimin.
"Father, emperor, son and minister, may the father share the worries!" Li Yuanji suddenly arch hand said
Tang gaozu eyes a clot looked at the king of qi hesitated, the king of qi defeated Xiangyang things vividly.
Li Jiancheng fuels: "Father, emperor, son and minister are surrounded by Wei Zhi, a newly joined counselor."
Tang gaozu didn’t speak, but closed his eyes and thought for a while. "Xu!"
In November, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, which seems to be out of control. The snow flooded people’s calves, making it difficult to walk. Obviously, this weather is not the time to move troops. However, Sui Jun is busy wearing thick cotton-padded clothes. They gradually cleared the snow on the ground to make the road smooth. Yang You first led 30,000 troops to reach Mangshan Mountain in the northeast of Yanshi to see a plain and plunge into a camp. Then the soldiers transported food, firewood and other things to the front line.
At this time, Yanshi has already stationed twenty thousand soldiers, Jing Wang Wang Hang, and Yang You got the news of Yanshi at the first time. He has a certain understanding of this department’s namesake "Jing Wang" Wang Hang Yang Gang, knowing that this person is very cunning and ferocious. Compared with Wang Shichong people, this person is still somewhat capable.
Yang You sent scouts to find out and found that Yanshi City was reinforced. This watch Wang Hang carried out Wang Shichong’s strategy of sticking to the defense, but Wang Hang did not attack and defend. Instead, it met Yang You’s wishes. The snow stopped temporarily in December. Yang You immediately sent soldiers to clean the snow outside Yanshi City. Sui Jun first dug ditches, then piled up the snow, poured firewood and lit torches. Soon, the fire broke out and the snow gradually melted to expose the wet ground.
When the Sui army cleared the snow, Wang Hang got the news. He quickly led his troops to Chengtou and looked at Sui Jun’s action. He laughed in his heart. The Sui army was obviously preparing to attack Yanshi, but now the weather is the coldest season. I’m afraid Sui Jun has just cleared the snow, and it will snow again soon. Isn’t that what the Sui army did?
Wang Hang told the defenders to pay close attention to Sui Jun’s movements. As it happens, when the Sui army cleared the snow, there was no snow in the weather, but the sun came out for several days in a row. Therefore, the Sui army had to clean a plain with more than 500 acres smoothly. Then Sui Jun quickly moved out of the camp and began to bombard Yanshi.
When Shi Biao attacked Luoyang, the position of Yanshi was highlighted. Wang Shichong knew this truth, so he specially strengthened the city wall and the weather was cold. After several days of bombardment, the results of Yanshi city wall were not great, and most of them remained intact.
Wang Hang laughed at this. Duan Da fled back to Luoyang and said that Sui Jun’s slings were too powerful and a traitor betrayed them. Only then did he lose Ye County. At that time, Wang Hang returned Sui Jun’s slings to be very powerful, but now it seems that Sui Jun’s slings are just so much. Even a small Yanshi can’t get it. It seems that Duan Da’s fellow is too powerful instead of Sui Jun. Wang Hang’s heart is full of ridicule.
Wang Hang personally wrote a letter to tell Da Zheng about Yanshi’s situation. Although Sui Jun was terrible, he was not a fairy ghost. Without superhuman powers, Wang Hang was confident that he would keep Yanshi and meet the needs of the army on time.
Yang You, the Sui Jun camp outside Yanshi, is drinking tea in a big tent, and the generals will discuss the military situation.
"The city of Yanshi is made of a whole rock, so it is particularly strong. I’m afraid it’s not so easy to smash the wall." Hou Jun said that it was the Lord who personally commanded the bombing of the city, so it was very clear.
"Yes, now the weather is cold and the rocks are frozen hard, and the effect is not great." Pei Hangyan also echoed.
Yang You smiled for the bombardment effect. He had already been psychologically prepared. It is a good thing to be able to flatten Yanshi, but Yang You will not be disappointed if there is no result.
"You love qing now the weather is not cold enough don’t worry" Yang You light way and drink a mouthful of green tea.
Hou Jun and Pei Hang don’t look at each other in vain. What does this mean? But they didn’t explain the meaning, so they had to hold back their doubts and drink tea, thinking, what’s the purpose of waiting for it to get colder?
It’s almost the middle of the twelfth year, and it’s about to enter the new year. Sui Jun Camp is full of excitement. Killing chickens and slaughtering sheep is full of fragrance. Even Yanshi City smells Yang You’s idea. It’s very simple. Sui Jun’s soldiers are hard to go abroad, but Yang You has cancelled military prostitutes, so they can appease the soldiers by eating.
Yang You announced that it would double the pay and reward the soldiers. The news opened in Sui Jun camp, and everyone was jubilant. Some soldiers planned to send the money back to their families after taking the pay, which was their concern.
Sui Jun, outside the city, is happy for the New Year, but Yanshi seems a little bleak. Wang Shichong has been short of food. It is good for soldiers to eat. The food is not as good as Sui Jun. But it happened that Wang Hang sent scouts to always return the news that Sui Jun killed chickens and slaughtered sheep today, which made Yanshi City Zheng Jun very depressed. Can we have a good year?
The gap between others being popular and eating spicy food and being able to eat chaff and swallow vegetables is too big. This person is better than coming out. Several generals of Zheng Jun found Wang Hang and asked for an increase in salary. Otherwise, it would be better to go home to farm and go to Wang Hang to know that Zheng Zheng was short of food. At first, he wanted to put things on hold, but he soon found that things were beyond his imagination.
At first, there were several generals. Later, more and more soldiers demanded a pay increase. The soldiers had to eat and drink during the New Year, didn’t they? How can soldiers who can’t eat or drink well have the strength and spirit to patrol and fight? The soldiers were confident and aggressive, and Wang Hang had to tell everyone that he immediately sent a request for food.
When Wang Shichong got the news, he gritted his teeth and sent Hanwang Wang Xuan to forgive more than 100 antelope and 20,000 stone grain. In addition, some seasonal vegetables were sent to Yanshi Yanshi Zheng Jun, and their morale became high. They quickly ate up more than 100 antelope like locusts.
At the end of December, the weather became colder and even snowed a few times. Yang You sent Luo Shixin and his soldiers out to harvest the snow. Sui Jun put the snow in a bamboo frame and cut it down to leave a shallow mark.
By this time, Yang You had a white chance. He immediately called the generals to discuss the military-23552.
Chapter 936 The City of Ice
"Sui Jun, the king of Jing, has come again. Hum, this group of waste wants to attack the city. It can be said that it is wishful thinking to have the king of Jing in town. Their efforts are all in vain!" Yanshi Chengtou a captain grinning said
Wang Hang’s cold hum was a surprise. Some time ago, Sui Jun forcibly attacked several times and finally failed, and returned to Sui Jun. Although the catapult was severe, how effective can it be? And now there is a foot of snow in the freezing ground. In this weather, it is wishful thinking for Sui Jun to attack the city
Wang Hang looked at the front coldly, and his eyes were full of drama. Outside the city of Shan, Sui Jun was busy. They were cleaning the snow while placing slings. Yang You looked at the rear of Chengtou without sneer, temporarily making you arrogant for a few days to see if you could laugh at last.
"The pursuit of the man is Wang Hang," said Pei Hang Yanyan with a telescope in his hand.
"Wang hang? Hum I will be interesting to see when he is proud of "Yang You smile.
Luo Shixin laughed. "Wang Hang’s personality is arrogant and self-defeating, but it is actually a silver gun and wax head."
Yang You took a moment to look around. Sui Jun has sorted out several pieces of flat land after being busy. Because Yanshi is close to Mangshan in the northwest and Luoshui in the south, it is not easy to expand the formation. Sui Jun can bombard several pieces of flat land from the east, north and southeast, with a width of 500 paces and a sling ringing at noon. Sui Jun is ready to attack.
But Yang You didn’t try so hard. He had a shilling meal. Sui soldiers started cooking on the battlefield. Soon, the food smelled all over the city. Looking at the movement outside Sui Jun, I couldn’t help wondering. Did Sui soldiers come to dinner after being busy for so long?
Wang Hangyou thought about going back to the mansion for dinner and was afraid that Sui Jun would take the opportunity to attack the city and make the food go to Chengtou for dinner. Soon, Wang Hangyou took a look at the dark food and frowned. The food he sent was all barnyard grass, and the taste was not good. Wang Hangyou naturally disdained eating barnyard grass in the mansion, but he had to pretend at this time.
A bite of Wang Hang almost spit it out, barely chewed a few mouthfuls of Wang Hang’s appetite, pretended to be worried about the state of affairs, put chopsticks on the side of the female wall and looked at Sui Jun outside the city. At this time, the Sui army lined up for dinner, and Sui Jun ate quite well. Wang Hang even saw that Sui Jun was baking a yellow leg of lamb and sent it to the high platform.
From time to time, the generals of Gaotai Yang You said that the atmosphere was quite good. At the beginning of Sui Jun’s meal, after a short rest, they immediately started to act. Teams of Sui troops brought boxes and put them next to the slings. Then they took out the things in the boxes and put them in the slings’ grooves.
Yang You touched the short beard and smiled, while Wang Hang was even more puzzled. He saw Sui Jun put the glistening thing on the catapult to prepare for launch, but what was that white thing? Stone? It doesn’t look like it.
Wang Xing has carried out the first round of projectile before he got rid of Sui Jun. "Get out!" Wang Hang was in a position to respond and immediately shouted that he was quite agile and hid from the female wall, and his body was tired.
Zheng soldiers also hurried to hide from the female wall.
At this time, it is also snowing heavily in Chang ‘an. Li Yuan is wrapped in a blanket, shrinking into a soft couch and baking a brazier. The fire is blazing, reflecting Li Yuan’s pale face. Perhaps it is because of the cold winter. Li Yuan’s body has become very bad. He often coughs and feels that his lungs are very stuffy. He calls a physician to make a diagnosis and treatment, but he can’t find out what is wrong. He has to drink some lung-moistening Chinese medicine to recuperate slowly.
