Datang: Touching the Corpse Li Yuanba at the Beginning

At this moment, Li Wenhao was even more anxious than Li Shimin. Whether it was the Xiaogui Army or the White Horse Camp, it was his painstaking efforts. His heart was bleeding even if he lost someone, let alone fighting the enemy for a whole day and night.

"They're here!"

On the two wings, two teams came over.

One of them had less than 2000 people left, while the other had slightly more people, but it was not much better. Everyone was injured, and some even had arrows stuck in their bodies.

"Hou Junji!"

"Li Junxian"

"Rosson"

"Su Lie"

"I have seen His Majesty, I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Several people walked to Li Shimin and Li Wenhao and knelt down.

"Everyone please rise up. Jieli retreated in this battle. You should be the first to contribute. What about the soldiers? I want to inspect them personally."

"General..."

Hou Junji and the others looked at me and I looked at you, with embarrassment on their faces.

"Why? After winning the battle, don't you dare to see people?"

"Your Majesty, they are all here!"

Hou Junji's face darkened, and there was unspeakable grief in his eyes. On the other side, Luo Song and Li Junxian were not much better. More than 1 of them participated in the battle, and now less than half of them have returned. This can be called a ghost army Since becoming an army, the most tragic battle.

"Good job!"

Li Wenhao patted Luo Song on the shoulder, turned his head and glanced at Master Shi, who was covered in blood and had several sharp arrows stuck in his body.

"Live on, and after the war is over, I'll treat you to a drink."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Shimin also noticed this scene. If Hou Junji's You Wuwei was tragic, then Li Wenhao's Xiaogui Army and Baimaying were tragic.

"Generals!"

"You have worked hard, but look behind us, our wives, children and elders are watching us in the city. We cannot and dare not retreat, because everyone knows that as long as we retreat, our family will face what's

"Before I left the palace, I gave everyone in the harem a bottle of poison, including the empress. If the city of Chang'an is destroyed, all the princes, princesses, concubines, and princes in my Tang harem, from the empress, will take poison and die for the country."

"This battle is about the fate of my Tang Dynasty. If I win, I swear that within five years, my Tang cavalry will definitely sweep the grassland. If I lose, I wonder if all the warriors will dare to follow me to the underworld for a while. What about King Yama?"

"I would like to die for His Majesty!"

"I would like to die for His Majesty!"

Li Shimin nodded solemnly looking at this group of scarred warriors.

"I swear, within five years, I will lead my Tang cavalry to conquer the grassland!"

"Now, hurry back to camp and rest, there is still a big battle waiting for us."

Li Wenhao also returned to Chang'an City with the army this time.

The battle on the edge of the Weishui River ended with the retreat of the Turks, but this did not mean that Datang had won.

Jieli also knew that it was impossible to take Chang'an City by surprise attack now, and the situation had turned around, and all the checkpoints leading to the outside world in the pass were strangled to death.

Because they took the Longshan trail, they didn't bring much food this time, which led to the fact that most of the leaders of the Turkic army wanted to retreat now.

If they can go out of the pass to loot around, it's okay, but now all the roads leading to the Central Plains are blocked, and if they don't think about the way out, I'm afraid they will be buried in the pass with their 20 troops.

Back in Chang'an City, after a hearty meal, Li Wenhao fell asleep until the next morning. When he woke up, the letters from Li Shimin had piled up like a mountain.

"Prince, you are awake, His Majesty told you to wake up and go there quickly."

"go!"

After wiping his face indiscriminately, Li Wenhao rushed towards Tai Chi Palace.

At this time, the Taiji Palace was already full of people, and these people were the power center of Datang.

"Father, uncles!"

Li Wenhao bowed his hands to everyone, and sat directly beside Li Shimin. Now that the war is urgent, those red tapes can be avoided.

"Father, how is the war going now?"

"His Royal Highness, please look!"

Du Ruhui pointed at the huge map on the ground with the crutch in his hand.

"Now Xieli's army is in this position."

"Here are [-] Yan-Liao troops, here are Li Jing's [-] cavalry, and his [-] infantry will follow. This is Chai Shao and Zhang Liang's troops, and this is Yu Chigong's troops."

"Now, we have basically completed the encirclement of Xieli, but the most important point is that our front, Chang'an City, does not have too many soldiers to fight."

"In Chang'an City, there are mostly infantry, which are not suitable for charging. As for cavalry, counting the prince's command, we now have only 1 people in total."

"If you want to use these ten thousand riders to attack Xieli head-on, you will probably die."

Du Ruhui shook his head solemnly. The difficulty lies here. Although the armies from all over the country have completed the encirclement, Chang'an, as a fist and a point of strength, does not have many soldiers to fight at this time.

If it is urgent and Jieli is desperate, it is very likely that Chang'an will fall. At that time, the encircling army may become a siege army.

Moreover, because Xieli didn't bring much food and grass, he didn't have any granaries or camps at all, which was the most annoying thing.

"I'll go!"

Li Wenhao glanced at the people in the room and asked Ying to come.

"His Royal Highness, no!"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, including Luo Cheng and others actively persuaded him, but Feng Deyi, the remnant of the former court, cast a deep look at Li Wenhao, bowed his head and remained silent.

"Report! The Yanliao army urgently reports!"

Just as Li Wenhao was about to speak, the scout outside the door sent a secret letter.

Reaching out to open the secret letter, Li Wenhao narrowed his eyes and handed it to Li Shimin solemnly.

"Everyone, Xieli doesn't want to wait any longer!"

After reading it, Li Shimin handed the letter to everyone.

The letter was written by Fan Xing. It stated in the letter that Jieli's troops had already started to retreat, and their troops would be approaching Jingzhou City in the near future. The wolf riders under him can drive straight in and wreak havoc on the Central Plains.

Fan Xing planned to use [-] Yanliao iron cavalry in his hand to hold Xieli outside Jingzhou and let the large army complete the encirclement.

"No, it's too slow to go to support now. The best way is to let Shandong send troops, but, who will send the commander?"

Du Ruhui pointed to the map and said, there are no extra soldiers in Chang'an City to support Fan Xing, and even if there are, the speed is too slow.

By the time they bypassed the Turkic iron cavalry, I am afraid that Xieli had already defeated [-] Yan and Liao troops.

"Most of Shandong Prefecture's counties are under the command of the King of Chu. If we rashly send people there, it is very likely that the government will not get through, and the military plane will be delayed at that time, which will be a big deal."

Changsun Wuji shook his head dignifiedly. This fast place in Shandong is too sensitive. Most of the 72 prefectures are under Li Jiancheng's command. If they still support Li Jiancheng in their hearts, the consequences will be disastrous.

"I'll go to the uncle's house in person."

"Don't run into your uncle..."

"Wait, I'll write a letter myself, you take it, if your uncle doesn't agree, just show it to him, he will definitely agree"

Sending Li Wenhao away, Li Shimin's eyes shook and looked into the distance. It was when he and Li Jiancheng were young. That year, the Li family was hunted down by Yang Guang. He and Li Jiancheng fled to a small village in Shandong. Where did they face their benefactors? In the cemetery, a vow was made.

Chapter 49 I Can't Forget Your Face

After leaving the palace, Li Wenhao returned to the East Palace with his guards. He selected a few rare calligraphy and paintings of famous artists in the East Palace, had them packed, and walked towards the Chu Palace.

"His Royal Highness, can the King of Chu agree?"

On the way, Su Lie asked with some doubts, he was afraid that Li Wenhao would do something wrong in a hurry.

"Don't worry, he will, he doesn't want Tang, this world to be taken by that savage Jie Li."

Li Wenhao revealed a confident smile. These calligraphy and paintings are all secondary. He believes that Li Jiancheng will agree. After all, does Datang also have a part of him, and Li Shimin also prepared a big gift for him.

Boom boom boom!

When they reached the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion, Su Lie stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Be polite!"

Li Wenhao reminded him that since he was stripped of his crown prince status and made the King of Chu, Li Jiancheng's family rarely appeared in people's sight, and the gate of the Chu Palace was also closed all year round.

"Who are you looking for?"

Seeing Su Lie in military uniform, the door of Chu Palace knew that this person was not easy to mess with, so they spoke very politely.

"Please inform me that Prince Li Wenhao is asking to see uncle."

Li Wenhao came over and said that he deliberately used the word "uncle" instead of the king of Chu, which means that he has not forgotten the family's affection.

After all, when Li Wenhao was young, Li Jiancheng was also very kind to him. At the beginning, the relationship between Li Shimin and his brothers was relatively harmonious. It was only after the founding of the country that Li Jiancheng was crowned prince, and there was a gap between them.

"His Royal Highness please!"

The concierge directly led Li Wenhao in.

This Tang Dynasty belongs to the old Li's family. As the prince, Li Wenhao probably has no places he can't go to except the women's bathroom and the women's bathhouse. Even if he comes to the Chu Palace to wait, he has to sit in the main hall and wait.

When Li Wenhao entered the main hall, Li Jiancheng came out with his family.

"See the prince!"

"Uncle, don't hurt your nephew."

"Several brothers also hurry up, our family should not engage in these red tapes"

Li Wenhao strode over to help Li Jiancheng up, and stretched out his hand to help the prince and princess behind Li Jiancheng.

"The prince doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. I don't know what's the purpose of coming to my down-and-out Prince Chu's mansion?"

Although Li Jiancheng was satisfied with Li Wenhao's attitude, he still had to explain some things in advance, otherwise it would be difficult to refuse a gift later.

"My nephew came here this time, there are indeed a few things."
