Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"Oh, my lady!"

"You always think about what to do with these things!"

"You just need to maintain a good mood, don't be too sad and exhausted all day long."

"If you recover from your illness, you will naturally see the day, won't you?"

Empress Changsun, even in history, is a queen with a great reputation.

What a wise person who has gone through so many storms and waves in his life.

Right now, he is naturally very clear about his condition.

How could she believe Changsun Wuji's comforting words?

So, lying on the sickbed, she gently pulled up the edge of her brother's sleeve again.

Just like decades ago, when she was still a little girl, whenever she had something to beg her elder brother who also had an immature face but a resolute expression.

"Brother, if one day I am really gone."

"You must promise me to take good care of Qiu'er for me, okay?"

"Don't let him get hurt, don't let His Majesty be deceived and kill him."

"This royal family is the most ruthless..."

"In my entire life, the person I feel most guilty and sorry about is this child."

"Right now, I don't know if Qiu'er is safe in western Liaoning?"

"I really want to look at him again, touch his face, and hear him call me mother..."

"I really want to..."

Listening to Empress Changsun, the dearest and dearest relative in my life, my own sister is the last entrustment to me in my life.

To be strong all his life, the eldest grandson Wuji, who claims to be a hero, can no longer control the sadness in his heart.

For a while, the old man burst into tears.

He tightly grasped Empress Changsun's hand, then nodded very seriously to reassure her.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will promise you to take good care of this child."

"Don't worry, you will hear him call you mother."

"I, I will call Li Qiu back now, you must wait..."

……

When Changsun Wuji left the Lizheng Hall, he happened to bump into Li Shimin who came here in a hurry.

As soon as he saw Changsun Wuji's eyes were red with tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, at that moment, he felt uncomfortable as if someone had pinched his heart severely.

"Auxiliary machine, how is the queen today?"

Changsun Wuji sighed deeply at this moment, his face could not help but filled with sadness again.

"Oh, the situation of the empress is getting worse and worse."

"I'm afraid it's... this level, it's sad."

"Your Majesty told me in tears just now that she wanted to take another look at Li Qiu before she left."

"Listen to the child, you can call her mother."

"Chen, I beg your Majesty to fulfill the last wish of the empress, and let the mother and son recognize each other."

"It can also let the empress go on the road with peace of mind, and don't leave any regrets."

Hearing the sobbing in Changsun Wuji's voice, Li Shimin couldn't hold back the tears for a while, and kept rolling in his eyes.

He and Empress Changsun, childhood sweethearts, married when they were young.

In a blink of an eye, decades have passed by like this.

Whether it was the Avalokitesvara maidservant back then, or the current queen, Empress Changsun has already become the most important part of his life.

Supported his inner and spiritual space.

Once upon a time, Li Shimin led troops to fight for more than ten years, during which he experienced countless hardships and dangers.

In his heart, he also thought about what it would be like if he died in battle and took a step first?

But he never thought that there would be a time when his wife and the mother of the children would leave before him.

This is simply the most terrifying and frightening thing that Li Shimin has encountered in these years.

Afterwards, Li Shimin sighed.

"Auxiliary machine, send someone immediately to call Li Qiu back."

"Let him come and see his mother..."

……

On the other side, under Huaiyuan City in Liaodong.

More than [-] Youzhou Army officers and soldiers are waiting in battle, just waiting for the night to approach.

Right now, it is early winter.

In the Liaodong area in the north, it gets dark very early.

Before the application time passed, the night had gradually shrouded.

At this time, Li Qiu, who was standing at the rear of the barracks with birdcages all over his back, also took a deep breath.

Quietly started the system props.

After about a few minutes, after receiving the prompt that the system is ready.

Li Qiu immediately gave the order to release the birds in the cages that had already been bound with apricot cores and ignited wormwood in batches.

There are probably more than 1000 birds here. If they were released together, the target would be too big.

It is easy to attract the attention of the enemy in the city.

It is not worth the gain to scare the snake.

Before, when everyone was busy, stuffing wormwood into peach pits and binding peach pits to these birds.

Everyone, including Fang Xuanling, had a high degree of suspicion in their hearts.

Even these peach pits and wormwood can play their due role.

But how could these birds be so obedient, and they all flew into the city obediently?

It was the beginning of winter, and there were barren hills and dead grass all around them.

If these birds fly around and ignite the mountains and fields around Youzhou County, it will be lively.

Chapter 646 The fire started, the siege

Fortunately, Fang Xuanling and others' expectations were greatly exceeded.

The group of birds of various colors and types were released from the cage.

They all flew in the direction of Huaiyuan City.

As for whether it will fly randomly after flying a certain distance, it is impossible to know.

It's too dark, and it's cloudy again tonight.

It is impossible to see the overall flight direction of these birds at all.

These more than 1000 birds were divided into ten batches, and the intervals were released.

When they are all released, the next step is to wait hard.

During these two or three hours, the Youzhou Army's army buried their pots and cooked food, closed their eyes and rested their minds.

Making final preparations before the war.

And A Ke, Jing Wuming and the others led the group of pre-selected and trained vanguards and slowly lurked towards the city of Huaiyuan.

Through these days of observation, they have selected three suitable places to climb the city.

As long as the fire broke out in the city and the defenders in the city began to panic, they were ready to steal the city.

Huaiyuan City tonight is still the same as before.

Soldiers patrolled the cold city streets and walls.

The generals of Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Khitan ate, drank and had fun in the warm mansion.

Outside the city, there is only the Tang army with more than 2 people, who will not give up and will not leave.

And in his own city, 11 troops are stationed.

The city is built on the basis of precipitousness, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Even if the Tang army on the opposite side was born with three heads and six arms, it is completely impossible to capture this city.

Now, the generals of Silla, Baekje, and Khitan who were invited to help, wished that these Tang troops would stay for a while longer.

For them, they don't have to fight and risk their lives, but they can also eat, drink and have fun in the city every day.

Good wine and good food, served by women, very happy.

Their mentality is naturally very dissatisfied for most Goguryeo soldiers.

Why do you raise tens of thousands of moths in the city?

Even their own 7 or [-] people in Goguryeo are enough to hold the city of Huaiyuan.

But unlike them, Goguryeo's regent Yuan Gai Suwen didn't think so.

As long as the [-] Youzhou troops on the opposite side dare to attack the city, tens of thousands of troops will be lost.

At that time, he will put everything on his bet, use up all his soldiers, and fight desperately with the opponent.

I believe that with the [-] troops on my side and at least [-] to [-] remaining troops in Goguryeo, it is enough to recover the six cities in western Liaoning.

On the other hand, Datang, according to the top-secret information that Goguryeo planted in Datang.

They have only such a large army in the entire Youzhou area and on the grasslands.

The remaining troops were used in the counter-insurgency in the south and the great wars in the Western Regions and Western Turks.

Once the Youzhou army on the opposite side is disabled, Datang will never have any support in terms of strength in a short period of time.

At that time, let's not talk about recovering Liaoxi.

Even the vast grasslands that have been captured by Datang, and even the entire Youzhou region of Datang, may become their own.

What he has been waiting for is such an opportunity.

……

After about two hours, the soldiers who had been closely watching Huaiyuan City suddenly shouted excitedly.

"Fire!"

"Huaiyuan City is on fire!"

Following his voice, others stood up and watched.

Isn't it so far away from them, the flames ignited in Huaiyuan City can be seen with the naked eye.

After that, everyone became excited and excited.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling and the others, who had been waiting in full force, walked out of the tent immediately.

Looking intently, in the direction of Huaiyuan City, you can see dots of fire.

At this time, Luo Liang hurried over and asked, "Lord Fang, Huaiyuan City is already on fire."

"Is our army ready to march?"

Hearing his words, Fang Xuanling shook his head cautiously.

"It's not the time yet."

"Judging from the fire and movement in the city now, it's not too obvious."
