Well," Pei Ji said with a little regret, "the altar of wine, let's wait for General Liu to return from victory before opening the altar. "

The next day, Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing led a thousand soldiers to call for battle in front of Huoyi City Tower.The number of soldiers and horses was deliberately reduced, so that it would be easy to "retreat" for a while without arousing Mr. Song's suspicion.

Liu Wenjing shouted: "General Song, I respect you as a strong general. If you open the city gate at this time and let me enter the city, and take down Chang'an in the future, General Song will have a share of this military merit."

"Presumptuous," Song Laosheng poked his head out from the tower, and saw that his face was like a purple eggplant, with black nostrils, big ears, and a white beard floating on his chest. He was almost sixty years old, but he didn't look old. The thief dares to make a mistake here."

"General Song, if it were me, with [-] stragglers, and I met a strong opponent, knowing that I couldn't win, I would either abandon my armor and drag my troops, or walk down the tower to surrender. I would definitely not be like General Song. I don't know good from bad."

Song Laosheng is the most intolerant of provocations. Li Jiancheng provoked him on purpose, and he really jumped in a hurry.

"Alright, you gang of rebels, stay here and don't leave. I'll let the old man lead his troops to fight with you, so that you can know how much you have."

The gate of Huoyi opened, and the cavalry rushed out first, followed by the infantry and chariot soldiers.Song Laosheng took the lead in rushing out. Although he is sixty years old, he must practice swords every morning, so he is not inferior to young people in terms of spirit and body.

Li Jiancheng and Liu Wenjing immediately faced off.

Song Laosheng obviously used the strategy of capturing the thief first and capturing the king first. As soon as he came up, he came towards Li Jiancheng. The saber with the red tassel was hanging on the head, and Li Jiancheng caught it with his sword. The old man has great strength.

However, Li Jiancheng didn't do his best. He fought and retreated in order to lure Song Laosheng out so that Li Yuan and Li Shimin would lead troops to surround him.I don't know if Song Laosheng saw his strategy and stopped halfway along the road, only some infantry chased him.

"General Song, are you timid?" Li Jiancheng shouted.

Song Laosheng snorted coldly, and said: "You guys, I just don't bother to fight with you."

He took down the bow and arrow from his back and shot an arrow at Li Jiancheng. Li Jiancheng dodged with his horse, but unexpectedly the arrow hit the horse he was riding.The red horse immediately neighed and raised its front hooves high. Most of Li Jiancheng was suspended in the air. He accidentally didn't hold the rein tightly and fell off the horse.

At that time, the battlefield was full of loess due to flying horseshoes, and Li Jiancheng's figure disappeared into the yellow sand at once. At this time, he fell off his horse and was either dead or seriously injured.

"Brother——" Li Shimin saw Li Jiancheng fell off his horse, his eyes turned red, and he took the lead to rush out from the east of the city with his troops.

Regardless of how many enemy soldiers were blocked in the middle, his eyes were only on the position where Li Jiancheng fell off his horse. The knife in his hand had a gap due to cutting too many people, so he snatched one from the enemy soldier and continued to move forward. Chong, at the end the blood stained the sleeves red, blood dripped from the sleeves, just arrived there, but there was no sign of Li Jiancheng.His heart sank suddenly, and his chest was extremely tight.

"Old Song has been captured—" Li Yuan shouted.

Hearing that the commander was captured, the Sui army surrendered one after another, and Li Jiajun clapped and cheered.Only Li Shimin was still riding his horse in a daze, walking around, and even turned over the corpses lying on the ground one by one with his long halberd, but there was still no sign of Li Jiancheng.

"Shimin..."

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, he turned around, and Li Jiancheng was standing behind him riding the red horse shot by Song Laosheng, smiling.

Li Shimin felt like crying, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, his lips moved twice, and he only called out: "Brother——"

Li Jiancheng approached him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Good job."

Li Shimin grabbed his hand tightly, his eyes were not as bloodthirsty as before, and had already softened, and asked: "I just saw my elder brother fall off the horse, why?"

Li Jiancheng smiled and explained the situation to Li Shimin just now.It turned out that Song Laosheng didn't chase it out, and he was also anxious. It happened that the red horse was shot, so he feigned a shot, holding the rein and sticking to the horse's side, and because of the cover of the rolling yellow sand, it looked as if he had fallen Dismounted.

"Brother," Li Shimin looked at him, the sadness in his eyes hadn't receded, "From now on, don't do such dangerous things."

Li Jiancheng's heart softened, and he responded softly.

After Song Laosheng was beheaded by Duan Hongyi, Li Yuan ordered him to be buried in honor.

Everyone gathered in the main tent again to discuss the next step. However, Song Laosheng had been removed, and the road ahead was easy.

After the discussion, Li Yuan made a plan.Li Yuan led the army to cross the Yellow River quickly. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji led troops to Yongfeng warehouse, the first warehouse in the Sui Dynasty, and captured it. The bandits and the Sui army.

Coming out of the main tent, Li Shimin showed a very dissatisfied expression, finally couldn't hold back, and said: "Brother, why don't you let me go with you."

Li Jiancheng stopped, looked back at him, and said, "Shimin, do you think I have taught you the art of war recently, and what is the purpose of making you familiar with the art of war? The reason is that you will be able to be alone in the future, instead of following me and my father." , be a child who will always live under the protection of others."

Li Shimin's bright eyes flickered. It was undeniable that he heard that Li Jiancheng asked Li Yuan to go to Li Yuanji, which made him go to Weibei alone.Now that I heard Li Jiancheng's words, I realized his good intentions, so I lowered my head and said, "The people of the world know."

Li Jiancheng kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said: "You show your sharpness when you are young, and sometimes you should adopt and listen to other people's opinions. The generals who went to Weibei with you have been tempered many times on the battlefield. , If you don’t understand something, you can ask them. Swords have no eyes on the battlefield, so you have to be careful.”

Because Li Jiancheng kissed him for the first time, Li Shimin felt very sweet in his heart, so he nodded solemnly and said: "I would like to follow the instruction of elder brother."

The author has something to say: the place of war is difficult to write, please forgive me for the poor writing, I also tried to insert love in the middle as much as possible╭(╯^╰)╮Otherwise it will look very boring

There should be another chapter tonight... the second watch or something, it's not easy

have a fight

Although Li Shimin listened to Li Jiancheng's persuasion, he was still not reconciled in his heart. He pestered Li Jiancheng all the time during the march, and when he saw Li Yuanji, his eyes were like small knives, and he stabbed at Li Yuanji's body.

Originally, when we arrived in Hedong, we should divide our troops into two groups. Unexpectedly, there was a hard bone in Hedong that blocked our way. It was Qu Tutong, a general of the Sui Dynasty.

Qu Tutong was a man of fortitude, upright, good at martial arts, good at riding and shooting. He had served as the governor of the Right Guard during Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. At this time, he was stationed in the important town of Hedong under the order of the acting king Yang You.

The city of Hedong is very high and steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Qu Tu understood this, and also knew that with his strength, he was determined not to be able to defeat Li Yuan who had incorporated Sun Hua's army, so he defended the city instead of going out to fight.

In desperation, Li Yuan had no choice but to stay outside the city to discuss strategies with the generals.

In the camp, all the generals opened their tents one after another and came in one after another. They couldn't help being startled when they saw the seats of the three Li family brothers.

I saw that Li Yuan was at the top with a calm expression. The first person sitting on his right was not the eldest son Li Jiancheng, but the second son Li Shimin, followed by Li Jiancheng, and then Li Yuanji.The expressions of these three people are also quite strange. Li Shimin's face is cold, the corners of his eyes are a bit more fierce than usual, and the corners of his mouth are pursed straight. He doesn't know who provoked him.

In the end, Li Yuanji had a gloomy face because of the terrible bruises on his face. His fierce aura was not inferior to Li Shimin's, but he seemed to be facing Li Shimin tit for tat.

Li Jiancheng was as calm as ever. There was a rough map spread out in front of him, and he kept looking down, unaware of the cold atmosphere on both sides.

Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing came in one after the other, Pei Ji and the Li family got along very well, at this moment the generals beside him were silent, but he joked with a smile: "Hey, what's the matter, Erlang and Shilang got angry together coming?"

As soon as these words came out, the two of them cast cold eyes each, Pei Ji's prodigal smile almost froze at the corners of his mouth, and seeing the two of them say nothing, he was a little bit embarrassed to get off the stage, and was about to After saying a few more words to round things off, Liu Wenjing, who was standing on one side, slapped his elbow hard on his ribs. The pain made him grin his teeth and be unable to speak again.

Liu Wenjing whispered in his ear: "Erlang and Shiro have always been at odds, can't you see why they are so angry?"

Pei Ji gasped for air while hissing, and turned his eyes to Li Jiancheng who was in the middle. He had a delicate mind, and he understood it immediately, shut his mouth immediately, and sat down obediently next to Liu Wenjing.

After waiting for everyone, Li Yuan just said: "This time I invite you to come here, it is about the matter of Hedong."

As soon as he came up, he was straight to the point, but it was also because Na Qu Tutong was really difficult to deal with.

Two days ago Li Yuan tried to climb into the east of the city from the south of the city, but failed due to the heavy rain. Because of the steepness of the city wall, when soldiers climbed up one, they were overthrown by the enemy troops who had already been guarding there. It was impossible to pass this important town.Li Yuan was naturally anxious.

Everyone was silent for a while, Li Shimin opened his mouth first, he was young and vigorous, and said coldly: "If you can't attack, what do you do, just go around the east of the river and go straight to Chang'an, then see if Qu Tutong will still defend it .”

This is indeed true, the speed of the army is very important, Li Yuan has already taken the opportunity to surprise his troops, and won the first battle in Xihe. On the way, he defeated the enemy repeatedly and his morale was very strong.
