Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Li Shimin heaved a long sigh and said: "I am the second son, since ancient times, I have been the first son and the eldest son!"

Xue Renguo curled his lips and said with a disapproving smile: "It's not fun, it's not fun, Li Erlang, there is one thing you are not as good as me!"

"Oh!" Li Shimin blushed a little drunk, and said, "What am I not as good as you? You are a prisoner, and I am the King of Qin. Tell me, what am I not as good as you... Tell me... Tell me."

"Happiness and hatred, do what you want, do what you want!" Xue Renguo spat, looked at Li Shimin and said word by word: "You are not as good as me!"

Li Shimin was at a loss for words for a while, and he was speechless!

Xue Renguo said: "It's been more than half a year, and you have never come to see me in the prison. If you hadn't encountered some setbacks, you would never have come here to drink with me, a dying person!"

Li Shimin picked up the wine in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp: "Nine out of ten things in life are unsatisfactory, come and drink!"

"drink wine!"

Li Shimin shook the wine jar in his hand and found that there was not a drop of wine poured out. Li Shimin was furious and threw the empty wine jar on the ground. !"

The jailer serving on the side said bitterly: "His Royal Highness, you have already drunk six altars."

"Bring the wine, if you dare to talk nonsense, I will crush you to death!"

The jailer had no choice but to rush to find the wine.

Watching the jailer leave, Xue Renguo's originally blurred drunken eyes turned bright: "Li Erlang, if you want to be happy in the future, unless you sit in that seat."

As he spoke, Xue Renguo stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky.

Li Shimin's drunkenness suddenly woke up.If Xue Renguo hadn't mentioned it, he really wouldn't have thought about taking that seat.Even though Liu Wenjing repeatedly proposed to change King Qin to be the crown prince, at that time, he didn't really want to be the crown prince. What he wanted most was to be a general, leading the Tang Tiejun and smiling proudly on the battlefield.

However, today Li Shimin felt that if he took that position, he would never destroy the Great Wall like Li Yuan did.

Chapter 18 Party Titans

"I should sit in that seat, I should sit in that seat!" This thought was like a seed with magic power, quickly took root and sprouted in Li Shimin's heart, and grew into a towering tree crazily.

Just when Li Shimin was about to be confused by this magical seed, a voice suddenly flashed in Li Shimin's head: "To get that seat, you must give up all your emotions, kill your father... kill your brother... kill Li Jiancheng first... and then kill Li Shimin." Li Yuan, you can sit in that seat, hold the power of the world, and do whatever you want."

"No!" Li Shimin was also fighting fiercely in his heart.He couldn't help but recall that whenever he got into trouble when he was a child, it was Li Jiancheng who was blamed for him, and it was Li Jiancheng who was beaten for him.Holding the cane in his hand, Li Yuan slapped Li Jiancheng's buttocks fiercely. Li Jiancheng's buttocks were ripped apart and bloody.

Li Shimin's eyes slowly turned red, and he bit the root of his tongue cruelly, trying to get himself out of this dream.

After a while, Li Shimin's head turned into a splitting headache. He shook his head and said with his tongue out, "I... I'm different from you... I'm the second son... The second son... Do you understand? You are the eldest son, so your father established you; my eldest brother is the eldest son, so naturally he is the crown prince, and the first son is the eldest son, which has been the case since ancient times."

Xue Renguo shook his head and said with a smile: "Although I am the eldest son, my father appointed me as the prince, but it was not because of this, but because I can fight. Lieutenant generals, all listen to me, and some even my father For example, Zong Luohou, he doesn’t even listen to my father’s words, but only listens to me. There are actually many people like Zong Luohou in our West Qin, so of course my father can only do it immediately. I!"

Li Shimin sighed, and said sourly in his heart: "Your fate is good. The soldiers obey you, and the family members obey you. My fate is not good. Our Li family... father, elder brother, and third sister..."

Xue Renguo looked at Li Shimin and murmured: "Li Erlang, don't let me down, look at Yang Guang, he killed his brother, and he also sat in that seat!"

Li Shimin said: "Yang Guang is a fool!"

"Huh!" Xue Renguo said, "If Yang Guang is a fool, then it's a joke to deceive the ordinary people, and you take it seriously? But in this world, since ancient times, winners and losers have always been kings and losers. Now that Yang Guang has lost, it is natural for you to slander me wantonly. , who I am, Xue Renguo, you, Li Erlang, know how you won me, and you also know, don't say some things so clearly, it's meaningless if you explain it clearly!"

Li Shimin said: "I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it!"

"Huh!" Xue Renguo said: "Li Erlang, you have to remember that nothing is impossible, the idea is to see if you want to do it or not..."

For a long time, when Li Shimin had nothing to say, Xue Renguo was still wondering what happened to Li Shimin. After a while, Li Shimin's snoring sounded...

Xue Renguo ignored Li Shimin, he continued to drink by himself, the more he drank, the whiter his face became, and the brighter his eyes became.

……

On the banks of the Hun River, the king's tent of Luo Khan in the East Turkic region.An anxious voice came from outside the tent: "Report——Youguo said that Astek Lifa was defeated by the Tang army's troops who were in charge of Lingzhou, and now I am pleading guilty in front of the tent!"

Tilifushe was not surprised by the defeat of Astek Lifa.He himself lost to Chen Ying, and Ashina Yiwuzhenmo is still eating the imperial rations of the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an City, if Ashde Jielifa was not defeated, it would be strange that he defeated Chen Ying.

Tilifu set his face gloomy, and said coldly: "What is the loss of Ashi Dejielifa? How many people were killed or injured in the Tang Dynasty?"

"The Tang people have not seen any major losses, and now there are only less than 3000 people left from the Astride Division..."

Hearing this, all the generals in the tent gasped secretly.They all thought that the reason why Ashide Jielifa dared to stay in Huaiyuan should have the confidence to challenge the opponent and test the opponent's combat effectiveness.However, it is understandable that Ashdejalifa lost in the battle when he was superior in military strength, but it is unforgivable to lose so badly.

Tili Fushe's eyes suddenly widened: "The army is superior, but it still suffered a disastrous defeat—give me Ashtekili to drag me down, and cut it off!"

There was no sound in the tent, no one dared to intercede, and the soldiers had already gone out to execute the sentence. At this moment, the general Xi Fengbu Lai stammered and shouted: "Chuluo...Khan! Please, allow me to go out! forward!"

Xifeng Bulai is not a Turkic, he is a party member.Of course, at this time, the Dangxiang people did not attract the attention of others. Like the Xi and Khitan people, they were all vassal tribes of the Turkic people.Xifeng Bulai was originally a subordinate of Tuoba Ningcong, the leader of the party. After Tuoba Ningcong took refuge in the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded Tuoba Ningcong as a general by the Sui Dynasty.In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo and mobilized 120 party cavalry from Tuoba Ningcong, and put them under the control of General Zhao Xiaocai, the Marquis of Youwu. As far as Sashui (now Qingchuan River in North Korea), the Ninth Army was flooded by the Sashui that had been accumulated for many days. The [-] party cavalry under Tuoba Ningcong were wiped out in the first battle.Only Xifeng Bulai led more than [-] party cavalry to break out.

In the 11th year of Daye, Yang Guang was besieged by Turks in Yanmen.

Xifeng Bulai is the most vicious Turkic general, and naturally he is also the one with the greatest military exploits. The people around Yanzhou, Suizhou, and Xiazhou wished they could eat their flesh and lay bare their skin... However, no one was his opponent.Xifeng Bulai's trilogy is not many, worthy of more than ten thousand, but even these ten thousand party cavalry have never been defeated in battle.

Xifeng Bulai is a member of the party, and the Turkic language is not good, but everyone understands what he means.

Tilifushe said: "Okay! Xifeng Bulai, let the generals see your bravery again this time. If you can defeat Chen Ying, I will confer you as Yuguoshe! The whole army will go out immediately. , within five days, I will arrive at the foot of Fengzhou City, and after ten days, I will set foot on the top of Fengzhou City again!"

In other words, he only gave five days for the actual combat time.

"Five days?" Bulugen said, "Chuluo Khan, if you are in such a hurry, I'm afraid the luggage will not be able to keep up."

To say that the nomadic army has no food roads is actually a very absurd understanding.In fact, whether it is the Turks or the Huns, when they fight, they actually have luggage.These supplies are transported by herdsmen, mainly cattle and mutton, supplemented by arrows, salt and grain (mainly used to feed horses).Although the Turkic cavalry can advance 150 miles a day, the herdsmen who undertake logistics and transportation can only travel [-] miles a day.

In desperation, Xi Feng Bu Lai actually started talking about the party language again.But at this time, no one pursued the matter.

Before Li Fushe could speak, Xifeng Bulai said: "If you can't keep up, you don't need it. This battle is a dead end! There is only forward, not backward!"

Chapter 19 Wuga River Reorganization

The moonlight sprinkled on the slightly rippling Wujia River (the ancient Yellow River is in the territory of Hanghou Banner, Inner Mongolia today), and Chen Ying stood at the watchtower, looking at the silent camp.At this moment, the air seemed to be condensed, and even standing on the watchtower, which was as high as three feet and six feet high, still could not feel the slightest coolness.

At this time, the camp of the Lingzhou Army was built next to the river.There are also sheepskin rafts on the Wuga River from time to time, patrolling back and forth, it is almost impossible to sneak attack from the river.Dozens of watchtowers with a height of three feet and six feet, the top pillars are added to the roof, and the walls are hollow. Each iron pot serves as a lamp holder. Three wicks as thick as a baby's arm are also lit. Looking from a distance, it is bright Just like hanging a bright moon.

If there is an attack camp nearby, the lampkeeper on the watchtower will also use a large bronze mirror with a concave surface to focus the light to a further distance.

The scorching heat of midsummer made Chen Ying sleepless. Looking at the silent military camp, Chen Ying was very anxious.

With more and more Turkic "attached troops", without effective unified management and command, the combat effectiveness of these attached troops would not be able to be exerted at all.

When they arrived in Fengzhou, there were more than [-] Turkic people.It is imperative to rectify these affiliated armies.However, Yu Guni's Lingwu army continued to increase, but Chen Ying worried that this army would gradually lose control.If he took away Yu Guni's authority rashly and compared his heart with his heart, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. The soil still has three parts, let alone Yu Guni is still alone?

If these problems are not solved, more serious problems will surely appear over time.Chen Ying thought about it, and decided to put the issue on the surface and talk about it. If it is acceptable, we will still be friends in the future. If it is destined not to pee in the same pot, then we will part ways now.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ying summoned the generals of the army to hold an enlarged meeting. This time, not only Liu Tong, Chen Jinyong, Yu Guni, Ashina Simo and other generals participated in the meeting, but also the Lingwu Army and Dingyuan Army. The 72 principal and deputy regiment captains of the government all participated.

After seeing everyone gathered, Chen Ying said straight to the point: "There is one thing I haven't had time to say, and that is why we soldiers join the army, why we train so hard, and why we bleed... Now, what are the responsibilities of us soldiers, what are our goals, whose food we eat, and who are we fighting for... I know, everyone always thought that what we ate was from the Li family The meal is for the Li family, you may think that you are eating my meal, Chen Ying, and you are going to fight for me, but this is actually wrong."

Looking at the incredulous eyes of everyone, Chen Ying continued: "There is one thing that we made a mistake. Those who really support us soldiers are those old farmers who work in the fields every day with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky. The women who weave silk and hemp into clothes are the common people who pay taxes to the imperial court, and those poor people who have nothing to eat all day long to support us... The food we eat is grown by them. They wove the clothes we wear, squeezed through their teeth for the wages we receive... Therefore, the duty of our army is to guard those who feed and clothe us, to protect them To prevent them from being harmed by the bows and arrows and swords of the barbarians, so that they can farm and weave with peace of mind, so that they can live and raise their children and reproduce.”
