[Datang Shuanglong] Aspiration

—— Ning Daoqi is dead!

Ning Sanren, known as the number one in the world, was defeated by Tiandao Song Que. The news was like a thunderbolt in the sunny sky for the gang heroes in the Jianghu and the forces fighting for hegemony, followed by shock. , unbelievable and helpless sigh... all kinds of emotions, just like the world.

In today's world, Dayue has stabilized the south, and the Song Army has intervened in the northern battle with an extremely strong posture. As soon as it came out, it recruited the Young Marshal Army and confronted the King Qin Army: The Song Army used these two top-ranked northern strong troops as their pedals , successfully played a resounding signboard.

While the northern princes were anxiously watching the battle, Song Que, the emperor of Dayue, stepped onto the throne of "No. 1 in the world": Don't underestimate the important role of status in the world of martial arts, Song Que The lack of strong strength gave the Song family army a layer of shining gold, and the Song clan publicly held the funeral for Ning Daoqi, which was even more desperately arrogant!

——Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish. The situation seems to be clear enough at this moment.

Of course, the first party to receive the news of Ning Daoqi's death was King Qin's army. With a heavy heart, Li Shimin immediately made an unexpected decision: he decisively abandoned tens of thousands of infantry to delay the advance of Song's army and divert their attention. On the other hand, he abandoned the battle and fled with [-] elite cavalry, and his whereabouts are unknown.

According to common sense, Li Shimin's intention should be to take the cavalry through the mountains and forests, return to Luoyang, and make a comeback in Dongshan; for this, the Song family's army also responded in time, and the soldiers pulled up the front in the major towns leading to Luoyang. Song Shidao has already formulated a detailed strategy: no matter whether Li Shimin can successfully break through, as long as the elite cavalry of Qin Wangjun show up, the elite part of the Song family army will attack Luoyang and block the city to cut off all connections between Li Shimin and Luoyang City. Then break down one by one.

In the handsome tent, Song Shidao was wearing light gold armor, and was carefully checking the strategic map on the table.

In the decisive battle with Ning Daoqi, Song Que was inevitably seriously injured. Even if it was not obvious from the outside, his internal injuries would take at least half a year to heal.Therefore, as soon as Song Que returned to the army, he handed over all the military affairs to Song Shidao, and then he returned to the Song Family Mountain City under the escort of his own soldiers, and comfortably became the emperor who let go of his hands, enjoying the family's love to the fullest. happy.

The curtain of the handsome tent was lifted suddenly, and Kou Zhong, who never needed to be passed on, walked in quickly, seeing that Song Shidao didn't even raise his head, he stopped involuntarily, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any news about Li Er? "

"Traces of cavalry have been found in several places. It should be the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, so there are suspicions. For the time being, we are not sure where Li Shimin himself is." Song Shidao said lightly: "But why should I be anxious? Just wait for work, according to estimates. , Their carry-on rations are about to run out."

Looking up at Kou Zhong, Song Shidao asked back: "Before you wrote to Liu Heita, did he respond?"

"Brother Liu's reply letter has just arrived," Kou Zhong took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, and said in a somewhat persuasive tone: "His attitude is considered soft, regarding our request... After all, 'no "Fight and surrender" is really not very pleasant, why don't you give him more time to think about it."

Song Shidao snorted softly, and instead of opening the letter to read it, he threw it on the case casually, raised his eyebrows, and said suddenly: "Young Marshal, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Kou Zhonglue was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "Your businesslike attitude really makes me very uncomfortable. To be honest, how can I hide my thoughts from your eyes... How do you plan to deal with Brother Li? Give me a confirmation letter?"

"Young commander-in-chief is indeed a brother all over the world. To this day, you still call him Brother Li..." At this point, Song Shidao stared at Kou Zhong with a half-smile, and said, "Then, if I sentence him to beheaded before the battle, How are you doing?"

The brother Li who can make Kou Zhong intercede for him is naturally Li Jing.

On that day, Li Shimin fled away with his cavalry, but left Li Jing behind to buy him time, and handed Li Jing full power to lead the infantry soldiers of King Qin's army to fight against Song's army. It flows into a river, and the wilderness is full of red.

Li Jing's ability to lead the army is really extraordinary. Even with no backup, no foundation, and even a shortage of food and grass, the Song family army still lost nearly ten thousand people. , but the process of this battle, no matter in terms of tragedy or excitement, is enough to make Li Jing famous in the history of war.

In the end, Li Jing, who was at the end of his life, was captured with no hands, together with thousands of wounded soldiers.

Song Shidao generously repatriated all those soldiers who lacked arms and legs. Most of them were civilians near Taiyuan. As for whether they would turn around and join the Li family's army after returning—Song Shidao said He didn't care at all: killing prisoners of war was the next policy, of course he would not make such a cruel decision; and taking this opportunity to gain a reputation of broad-mindedness and gentle personality, Song Shidao was already making money without losing money.

But how to deal with Li Jing is a bit troublesome.

It is completely understandable for a defeated general to kill the flag, and it is perfectly normal to recruit and reuse him. Besides, Li Jing is a rare talent. Song Shidao wanted to recruit him from the bottom of his heart, but the problem is that Li Jing He just didn't surrender.

Kou Zhong looked at Song Shidao's indifferent expression, couldn't help sighing, and said dejectedly: "He insisted on not surrendering. Of course I have nothing to say if you want to kill him, but Young Master Ling... well, it's all a friendship after all!"

"Didn't Young Master Ling say that he was going to drink with Lao Ba outside the Great Wall? When he plans to leave, I'll do it for him." Song Shidao said with a flat expression.

Kou Zhong's handsome face was wrinkled with worry, and he said: "The matter of Brother Li is still inconclusive, of course Young Master Ling won't leave...God, I hate dilemmas the most, Young Master Ling keeps forcing me to find a way Save people, but facing you, what can I do?"

"Tsk," Song Shidao got up and walked in front of Kou Zhong, and looked at him quietly until Kou Zhong's breath was a little unstable, then he suddenly reached out and hugged him, and said with a smile: "Isn't it the same for me? You have nothing to do, hey, how can I be willing to make things difficult for you? How about this, I promise not to kill Li Jing, it is not impossible to let him go, the first condition is that Ling Shao immediately set off to play outside the Great Wall, and don't look for him all day long. I'm in trouble!"

"It's that simple?" Kou Zhong said joyfully, all his apprehension gone.

"Of course." Song Shidao nodded in response, and then watched Kou Zhong, who was in a relaxed mood, leave the tent, secretly thinking: whether it is Kou Zhong or Xu Ziling, they are smart enough, their only problem is that they are too affectionate and easy to soften their hearts— —In fact, when Ssangyong was visiting his old friends, Li Jing keenly noticed that their relationship with Song Shidao was unusual, which gave Li Jing the confidence not to surrender.

But then again, want to play tricks with him?Song Shidao smiled indifferently: "Let's see who can endure it better. This time, we will send Xu Ziling away first, and then continue to detain Li Jing with food and drink. Anyway, Song Shidao just promised Kou Zhong not to kill this person, and he will release him sooner or later." People... They didn't agree on a specific time to release him. Even if Song Shidao wanted to keep Li Jing under house arrest until the world was peaceful, Kou Zhong would have nothing to say.

Speaking of which, Li Jing's reluctance to surrender was probably just because he didn't want to fight the old master Li Shimin one day.

In fact, Song Shidao didn't have that plan at all. He kept Li Jing not only because he was known as the "Military God" through the ages, but also to deal with the Turkic people who "would have" brought Li Jing great prestige: Ssangyong's loyalty and The intercession was only incidental, but if Song Shidao spared Li Jing with this excuse, it would better dispel Li Jing's doubts and wariness, why would he not do it?

Besides, Song Shidao was also very happy to let Li Jing owe the favor to Ssangyong all the time, lest he use those old friendships to blackmail Kou Zhong in the future.

Li Jing's problem has been satisfactorily resolved for the time being, and Li Shimin's whereabouts have finally surfaced. After Li Shimin unexpectedly attacked Liu Heitai, crossed the entire territory of Hebei, passed through Youyan and other places, and finally led his troops to the Khitan gathering place on the side of Koryo.

Li Shimin is really a hero. Although his Qin Wangjun lost his temper after being beaten by the Young Marshal Army and Song Jiajun one after another, if he compares them with the Khitan horse thieves or the Koreans, he will definitely be able to torture them to the point of not knowing who their ancestors are. forgot all...

Goryeo's territory was originally planned by Song Shidao, since Li Shimin "is willing" to be the pioneer for him, let Qin Wangjun play for a few more years, anyway, it's good to play on other people's territory.

As for Liu Heitao, King of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after he caught Li Shimin by surprise and made a mess, he was faced with the pressure of the Song family army. Under the "recommendation", he led the army to join Dayue, and also became one of the deputy commanders of the Song family army.

After taking Shandong, Hebei and other places without bloodshed, the Song family's army turned to Li Zitong and Du Fuwei: Facing a strong enemy, these two old brothers who had grievances and grievances united together regardless of past suspicions, and the Song family's army Dozens of fierce water battles were fought on the Yangtze River-during the whole summer of this year, the surface of the Yangtze River was full of warships moored, screaming and killing.

Facts have proved that the stubborn resistance of Du Fuwei and Li Zitong was meaningless. The new warships of the Song Army finally swept the entire waters with an invincible attitude. There is no other choice... After that, the two of them were put under house arrest by the Song Clan, and they were accompanied by Li Jing: Of course, the position of deputy commander-in-chief is a no-brainer, it is obviously the honor of a smart person.

Li Clan, the leader of the northern warlords, was obviously not happy to be such a "smart person". They just dragged the battle to the second winter when the Song Clan marched into the north.

Perhaps in Li's view, southerners' fighting power will be greatly reduced when they encounter winter in the north: but the reality is always more cruel than imagined - the cold weather not only failed to drive away the powerful enemies, but Song Shidao took advantage of the heavy snow to fight against them. The cover led elite soldiers to detour to surprise Chang'an, and even arranged for the dead soldiers to sneak into Chang'an city along the tunnel of Duke Yang's treasure house!

The army outside the city suppressed the border, and the city was in turmoil... After more than a month of hard work, when the dead soldiers opened the gate of Chang'an City, Tang Wang Li Yuan had no choice but to lead the crowd to surrender.

Song Shidao, the crown prince and head coach of the Yue Kingdom, led his army to sweep across the northern mountains and rivers with decisive force, which amazed the people all over the world, and his reputation was as prosperous as ever.

As Song Shidao captured Chang'an, the capital of Li Tang, the day when Da Viet would rule the world was getting closer, and small and medium forces from all over the country followed suit.Song Que also formally made a decree to establish the capital of Chang'an, personally led the ministers of various ministries into the Central Plains, began to expand the number of officials, repaired the palace and the capital, and prepared for the founding ceremony.

The war is still going on, but its outcome is beyond doubt.

Among the Li Clan, Li Yuanji of Luoyang was the second following after the patriarch Li Yuan surrendered: Even though Luoyang is one of the most fortified cities in the world, it really couldn't withstand the various attacks of the Song family army. What's more, in terms of familiarity with Luoyang City, ten Li Yuanji are not as good as Yang Gongqing, so His Royal Highness King Qi was finally captured by Kou Zhong, who was fully in charge of Luoyang Raiders, and taken to Chang'an .

"Young Marshal Kou, masters with great achievements have always been the way to bring disaster to those who are good at fighting... This time you capture Luoyang, you can make a comeback from this strong city, so why continue to bow your head to the Song Clan?" In the large carriage, was Li Yuanji, who was tied up with five flowers, considered his tone, and suggested "with good intentions".

Kou Zhong, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand vigorously, lifted the heavy curtain of the carriage, and let the biting cold wind mixed with snowflakes blow into the warm carriage: Outside the carriage, there are thousands of Human cavalry units and heavy snowflakes.

Seeing Li Yuanji who had his inner power sealed off shudder several times, Kou Zhong smiled coldly and said, "Li Yuanji, if you want to go out and experience the thrill of marching in the snow again, just keep talking nonsense."

Li Yuanji felt depressed for a while. He tried to sow discord several times along the way but failed. Instead, Kou Zhong was tormented by injuries and illnesses. Maybe he was still thinking about the siege in Duke Yang's treasury?But they are not far from Chang'an City... Thinking of this, Li Yuanji could only sigh secretly, and then continued: "What I say is from the bottom of my heart. The young commander is a dragon among men. He is bright and magnanimous. On the battlefield Yuan Ji really admires the bravery of the three armies. But regarding the power struggle in the court, in all fairness, I know a little more than the young commander, right?"

"I understand your size!" Kou Zhong was quite impatient, but also said with some amusement: "Save your strength and saliva, you have so much free time to sow discord, why not think about how to beg for mercy after you think of Chang'an."

Facing Kou Zhong, who was not allowed to enter, Li Yuanji was depressed, so he arrived in Chang'an City helplessly: this was originally the capital of Li Tang, but now he changed his surname to Song.

The deputy commander of the whole army escorted the prisoners back to the court in person, but it was very strange that he did not receive a grand welcome from the court, and it could even be said that there was no ceremony: Li Yuanji withdrew his complicated gaze from staring at the city gate, turned to look at Kou Zhong, Just as he was about to gloat and ridicule a few words, he suddenly saw a young man in a python robe standing quietly in the snow on the side of the city gate... For some reason, the four words "the end of time" suddenly appeared in Li Yuanji's heart. a word.

Kou Zhong jumped out of the carriage in surprise and joy, and said with concern, "Second brother, how long have you been waiting? It's so cold outside..."

"So I sent away those old guys who were going to line up to meet the young commander, and left me alone to wait for you." Song Shidao smiled, took Kou Zhong's hand, and said, "I don't think the young commander likes those A troublesome ceremony, right?"

Kou Zhong nodded repeatedly and said: "It's enough to see you, I don't bother to deal with others." He turned around and pointed to Li Yuanji, who was kneeling on the side of the car, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhi stays in Luoyang. To deal with the beginning and end, I brought you this noisy guy... What are we going to do next, to get rid of Li Jiancheng?"

Before Song Shidao had time to respond, Li Yuanji jumped out of the carriage with a changed expression. Regardless of the embarrassment behind his hands being bound, he staggered towards the two of them and begged, "I would like to persuade elder brother to surrender, just to protect him." Life!"

When the Song family army swept across the Central Plains, Li Jiancheng was still unable to withdraw from the war with the Turkic people and return to aid: to this day, both Chang'an and Luoyang have changed their flags, and Li Jiancheng's Changlin army has become a source of no water, caught between the Turkic wolves. The army and the Song family army could not move, and it was almost a situation of death.

Regarding Li Yuanji's request, Song Shidao just waved his hands noncommittally, and asked the soldiers to escort him to the city and place him under house arrest, then led Kou Zhongyue back into the carriage, and put down the curtain to block the wind and snow and prying eyes.

Kou Zhong stared dumbfounded at Song Shidao skillfully taking off his armor, his face turned red, and he said in a low voice, "The carriage is parked at the gate of the city, and the coachman and the guards are still outside. Brother, stop playing..."

Song Shidao took off the outermost python robe he was wearing, and faced Kou Zhong's extremely tangled gaze, he laughed and said, "Master Zhong, what do you think I'm going to do, huh?" Yes, Song Shidao gave a deep kiss full of enthusiasm and longing while touching and hugging.

Kou Zhong, who was dizzy from the kiss, tilted his head and leaned on Song Shidao's shoulder, hesitantly said: "We really want to be here...isn't it good?"

"Where are you going? I just want to go shopping with you in Chang'an City. It would be too ostentatious if you wear a battle armor and I wear a python robe." Song Shidao's expression was upright and innocent, but his tone was ambiguous. Ji Ji said: "However... Ruo Zhongshao, you really miss me too much. It's not that we can do something else first and go shopping later."

Kou Zhong made an elbow with his backhand, gritted his teeth and said the word "go", then angrily opened the curtain and rushed out of the carriage.Song Shidao followed with a smile, and ordered the guards to go back to the Prince's East Palace with the carriage first, and then leisurely went shopping with the Crown Princess.

The years are like running water, and the New Year is coming soon in a blink of an eye.On the last New Year's Eve, Song Shidao and Kou Zhong were still in Chang'an City on a risky treasure hunt; but at this moment, Chang'an City is already their capital.
