"Yeah." Li Shimin nodded deeply, and hummed: "After chasing him back, let him be confined for three months, don't make trouble for me."

"Yes." The guard replied, turned and left.

Li Shimin turned his attention to those ministers again, and discussed with everyone the countermeasures.

However, the guard hadn't left for a long time, and when he left and returned, the panic on his face became even stronger.

"Your Majesty...the prince...he..." the guard swallowed, and said in a trembling voice: "The prince left Chang'an and headed straight to the north, like the direction of Liangzhou... The prince's horse is very handsome, my subordinates Can't catch up at all."

"What?" Li Shimin got up in shock and muttered to himself, "North? Liangzhou?"

"Bastard..." Li Shimin yelled angrily, "Is he looking for death? Does he still think my heart is not messed up...Bastard..."

"Your Majesty..." An eunuch hurried in, holding a letter in his hand: "This... This is left in the room by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Bring it to me." Li Shimin snorted, took the letter from the eunuch's hand and quickly opened it to read.

Seeing this, he was stunned, his eyes turned scarlet red quickly, and hot tears rolled in his eyes.

"Good son, my good son..."

Li Shimin murmured, his expression excited and worried.

And on the paper, there were two lines written impressively.

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!"

"Thousands of people, I will go!"

Chapter 2 I Stain Mountains and Rivers with Blood, I Forge Cities with Remnants

The two lines of writing are immature, but their meaning is hard and empty, which makes Li Shimin's heart agitated.

How domineering, how decisive!

Even if he knew that he was close to death, he was still generous.

My eldest son is worthy of the word prince!

At this moment, a flame burned in Li Shimin's chest.

He closed his eyes and looked up to the sky, turning into a soft sigh.

The matter has come to this point, if he hesitates with indignation, then Li Shimin is not worthy of the word "King of God".

"Li Jing." Li Shimin spoke resolutely, and said in a deep voice, "I ordered you to be the general manager of the Jingzhou Road, leading [-] troops, and rushing to help Liangzhou quickly. There must be no mistakes."

"what?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive, please think twice."

Many ministers who were still shocked by Li Chengqian's actions were all shocked, looked at each other in blank dismay, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, Chang'an's troops will be less than [-]. This move is too dangerous."

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty takes orders, but...Your Majesty, I think the overall situation is the most important thing. Five thousand troops are enough for this trip to Liangzhou."

"Five thousand?" Cheng Yaojin yelled, "Five thousand troops, isn't that just sending them to their deaths?"

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I know that you love your son dearly, but the prince's move is too impulsive. If you send [-] troops, Chang'an will only have less than [-] troops left.

The guards are weak, but if something goes wrong, it will be lost forever.I implore Your Majesty for the stability of the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the country..."

Many ministers quarreled, but no one agreed with Li Shimin's decision.

"Okay." Li Shimin lowered his eyes, interrupted everyone's words, and immediately threw the paper in front of everyone, saying: "I said [-], it is [-]. I am the king without God, so what if Chang'an has no soldiers to defend? Turkic Xiaoxiao, what are you afraid of? Li Jing, I will only give you a death order when you go to Liangzhou, no matter what, bring the prince back to me."

"This..." Li Jing picked up the paper hesitantly, and when he saw the two lines clearly, his heart was shaken, and he instantly understood Li Shimin's intention.

He immediately cupped his fists and said firmly, "Your Majesty, don't worry, even if you die, I will keep the prince safe."

Li Jing's attitude changed so quickly that everyone was surprised, and they began to wonder what was written on the paper.

Changsun Wuji snatched it away, and was also stunned after seeing it. Du Ruhui snatched the paper from his hand.

A piece of paper began to be uploaded and viewed by everyone.

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies!"

"Thousands of people, I will go!"

Not impassioned, but exciting.

Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "His Royal Highness is deeply aware of righteousness, given time, he will definitely be a virtuous monarch."

Everyone agreed, nodding in agreement.

They also understood Li Shimin's decision.

Such a prince must not have the slightest mistake.

If not, it will be Datang's most serious loss.

Fortunately, Li Jing's mission is to recover the prince, not to fight against the enemy.

Even though he was a bit cold-blooded, but...Chang'an City was the lifeline of Datang. When the prince was recovered, those soldiers had to come back to guard Chang'an.

It's just... those people suffered, their families were destroyed, and they were slaughtered.

After a while, Li Jing left the palace and went straight to the barracks.

Along with Li Jing, there are Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

Li Shimin, on the other hand, continued to discuss countermeasures with many ministers, if the Turkic soldiers came to Chang'an, how to deal with it.

Humiliation, endless humiliation, but they had to face it.

An hour later, when Empress Changsun heard the news, she fainted and fell to the ground.

Li Shimin was very anxious, but he endured it by himself, and he still didn't leave the East Palace for half a step.

At night, the [-] army moved straight to Liangzhou at the fastest speed.

"Your Majesty, will Cheng Qian come back safely?" Empress Changsun snuggled into Li Shimin's arms, tears streaming down her face.

Li Shimin opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

According to the guard of the palace gate, Li Chengqian's war horse traveled extremely fast, and he was not sure whether his son would be alive when Li Jing arrived in Liangzhou with his troops.

But... I hope nothing will happen... Sighing sadly, Li Shimin's eyes were very cold, and he said in a cold voice: "If something happens to Chengqian, I will be poor all my life, and I will make them pay the price."

……

On the fifth day of August, the Turkic general Ashina Yeqi led an army of [-] to attack Liangzhou.

Liu Shenghan, the prefect of Liangzhou, was not afraid of death, and led five thousand guards to resist stubbornly.

However, after all, it is beyond our capabilities.

At noon, the city of Liangzhou was broken.

The Turkic army broke into the city like ferocious beasts.

Flames blazed and black smoke filled the air.

Tragic scenes were staged everywhere, and the people rushed to flee, but to no avail.

The Turkic soldiers were arrogant, the blades in their hands were stained red with blood, and their expressions became more excited.

The wailing was endless, the old man who was unable to escape cried and questioned the sky, and the people who were running around were crying in despair.

"What did we Tang people do wrong?"

"Generations of hard work and farming, why should there be such a disaster."

"Run, hurry...we can't run away."

……

"We lost, we lost..." Liu Sheng smiled miserably, tears welled up in his eyes, and a mournful roar resounded through the sky.

"People, I'm sorry for you..."

At this moment, he was drenched in blood. Although he survived the fierce battle defending the city, he also lost an arm.

He held the knife in one hand and leaned on the ground, endless cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"I can't protect you, so I will go with you. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is inviolable. Even if it is a broken body, we must defend the majesty of the Tang Dynasty."

I forged the city with my remnant body!

Tang people, Tang Jun, there is no coward who is afraid of death!

He stood up with difficulty, turned around to look, and paced slowly.

He walked up to the two girls, smiled miserably, and said, "Daddy is sorry for you."

These two girls are his daughters.

The eldest daughter, Liu Ruoxi, is thirteen years old and still unmarried.

The young girl Liu Yiyi is only eight years old this year.

At this moment, Liu Yiyi was nestled in Liu Ruoxi's arms, her little face was full of horror.

There was also fear on Liu Ruoxi's pretty face, but she still squeezed out a smile and said, "Why did Dad say that? Being able to be your daughter in this life is a blessing that Ruoxi has cultivated in several lifetimes."

"I...I..." Liu Sheng's voice trembled, he raised the horizontal knife in his hand, and said, "I'm not worthy to be your father. If there is an afterlife, don't be my daughter. Don't worry, Dad will come down to accompany you later."

The horizontal blade was cold, Liu Ruoxi glanced at it, closed her eyes and said with a smile: "If there is an afterlife, I will still be your daughter."

Liu Yiyi raised her head from Liu Ruoxi's arms, looked at the horizontal knife Liu Sheng held high, she seemed to understand something ignorant.

Her eyes were innocent, and she seemed to be no longer afraid at this moment, and her immature voice struck Liu Sheng's heart.

"Daddy, Yiyi will still be your daughter in the next life."

"I hope... there will be an afterlife." Liu Sheng burst into tears, endured the trembling in his heart, and slammed down the horizontal knife.

And the place where they fell was the two sisters.

Chapter 3 General Wang Shi Don’t Prison himself

Liu Sheng closed his eyes sadly, with hot tears rolling down inside.

Killing one's own daughter with one's own hands should be the most painful thing in the world, right?

But he couldn't.

The city of Liangzhou was destroyed, and there was no way to escape.

Whether it is him or the people in Liangzhou City, they are all bound to die.

Unless a divine soldier descends from heaven, the building will collapse.

However, how is it possible?

Now the border of Tang Dynasty is full of wars, and the rest of the cities are too busy to take care of themselves, which is no different from Liangzhou.

Chaotang felt powerless, even if he felt resentful, he could only watch helplessly.

Because, the current Datang is too weak.

Weak enough that Turks can tear up the covenant at will and send troops to invade.

He is the prefect of Liangzhou, and he must fight to the last moment to defend the majesty of the Tang Dynasty with his broken body.

Even if you die, you have to kill one more enemy.

Under the Nine Springs, you can rest in peace.

But the Liu sisters are different. If they are caught by the Turks, they will face torture that is worse than death.

This is called him as a father, how can he bear it?

Rather than being humiliated by Turkic animals, it is better to send them on the road with their own hands.

Liu Sheng's heart was throbbing.

Liu Ruoxi closed her eyes, a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, there was happiness, sadness, and relief.

Liu Yiyi quietly nestled in her sister's arms.
