Reborn Prince built

The meaning is to ask the Tang army to tie up the people to the army, threaten their lives, and force the people to hand over their food.

"This..." Changsun Wuji felt a little troubled.

Du Ruhui said at this time: "His Royal Highness Qin's move is the best policy. After all, those rebels are just farmers. How can there be no women, children and old people at home? Inviting these people to our army can raise food and grass on the one hand, and on the other Disintegrating the rebels is killing two birds with one stone."

"But what if the rebels come to ask for someone?" A general questioned.

Du Ruhui smiled politely, and slowly said: "The relatives are in the hands of the enemy, do you think those people can have a bit of bravery, dare to attack?"

Everyone was speechless, although this plan was a bit vicious, but it was really helpless, so they had to do so.

Sure enough, as Li Shimin expected, with the hostages in hand, many rebels actually delivered food stored in their homes to their homes in exchange for the safety of their families. The people who were forced to resist for a while became afraid, and as Du Ruhui said, they collapsed a lot.

The generals are overjoyed.Now that the food problem was solved, Li Shimin knew that Song Jingang must be more worried about food and grass than he was, so he also stood there calmly, waiting calmly for Song Jingang to show his flaws first.

At this time, there was news that Li Yuan sent Yong'an King Li Xiaoji to suppress it because there was an anti-military disturbance that was too violent.

Li Xiaoji is Li Shimin's cousin, and Li Shimin is not very familiar with him.The one he went to suppress was Lu Chongmao, who had already surrendered to Song Jingang. At this time, he was besieged by Li Xiaoji's army, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Song Jingang for help.

But Song Jingang was impatient because of Li Shimin's refusal to fight, so he sent his general Yuchi Jingde to rescue him after hearing the letter.

By the time Li Shimin received the news, it was too late.The uncle was caught off guard by Yuchi Jingde, and Tang Jun was defeated by Liu Jun again.This time, he even lost a prince to go out.

Li Shimin didn't care much, but he still needed to be rescued, and at the same time he wanted to save some face, so he sent Yin Kaishan and Qin Shubao to ambush him.

Yuchi Jingde was a little contemptuous because he had captured the royal family of Li, but he finally escaped from the ambush of the two and returned to the camp in a state of embarrassment.

But apart from this small ambush, the two sides did not fight any more, and the stalemate lasted until April of the third year of Wude, Song Jingang finally couldn't stand it anymore.

The author has something to say: The purpose of these two chapters is to highlight Li Er's handsomeness in battle == the winner in life is the one who has both career and love! (⊙v⊙) You said it was meow?

come back

Because the food could not support it, Song Jingang led his army to retreat northward from Baibi.Li Shimin immediately ordered the whole army to pursue.

The enemy's retreat was extremely fast, but under Li Shimin's order, the Tang army spared no effort in the pursuit, day and night, and of course the supplies could not keep up with the speed of the army, and the Tang army ran out of food during the pursuit.

Under such circumstances, all the generals under his command were worried. Du Ruhui was left in the camp because he was a counselor and was not suitable for traveling fast with the army. Almost no one dared to persuade the increasingly ruthless commander.

But marching like this was too strenuous, and with no food, the soldiers were so hungry and thirsty that they began to stir faintly.

Seeing the situation getting worse, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to bite the bullet and catch up with Li Shimin, saying in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness..."

Li Shimin turned his face slightly. Even His Royal Highness Qin Wang, the commander of the whole army, has not eaten anything in the past two days, and he has not even closed his eyes. There is a faint blue shadow under his eyes, and his cheeks are not illusions. She was a little thinner than before, and when her face was expressionless, she was even more shockingly indifferent.

He looked ahead, but retracted his chin meaningly, motioning for Changsun Wuji to speak.

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "Your Highness, in fact, being able to force Liu Wuzhou's main force back this time is already a great feat, the poor should not chase after us, why don't we..."

Before he finished speaking, he choked in his throat because of Li Shimin's blade-like gaze, and ordered his eldest grandson Wuji to turn pale.

"I said before the war that I will never return to Chang'an until the last person is killed. If I hear the same words again, I will be punished as fear of death and treason, and be executed on the spot!" His voice was also extremely hoarse, but there was inexplicable tension and excitement. Murderous, obviously nine days had passed in the middle of winter, the eldest grandson Wuji, who was facing Li Shimin, still felt a chill running from his back to the top of his head.

"Yes, the general understands!" He had no choice but to lower his head, slow down the speed of the horse, and followed behind by more than half of the horse.

Fortunately, the situation in Song Jingang's army was more serious than theirs. Under the hunger, the morale became more and more low. Finally, he was chased by Li Shimin in the Queshu Valley. He lost eight battles and lost tens of thousands of troops in one day. Under the leadership of the remnants fled to Jiexiu.

Li Shimin won a big victory, and finally he was able to rest for a while. At this time, from the generals to the soldiers, everyone was hungry, thirsty and tired. Li Shimin also hadn't eaten for two days, and he was still wearing silver-white armor.At this time, the armor was still stained with wet blood. Li Shimin sat on a small raised hillside to rest for a while. Seeing several generals approaching, he knew they must be asking about food, so he waved his hands impatiently and said: " Do you still come to ask me about such things? Search everywhere, and you can always find something to eat."

Before the generals could open their mouths, they were blocked back by the coach badly, so they had to leave exhausted, each ordering the soldiers below to search around.

The light in Li Shimin's phoenix eyes was cold, but a fire was burning in his heart.

At this time, it is said that he has been away from Chang'an for nearly five months, and he finally got his elder brother's promise, but he was very annoyed to leave immediately. Song Jingang is indeed a stable person, so he forced this situation The war dragged on for a long time, during which there were only a few trials, and if they couldn't get it right, they stayed firmly in place, like a bastard shrinking into a turtle shell, only waiting for Li Shimin's side to show its flaws first.

The fire in Li Shimin's heart became stronger with the confrontation time. The more angry and murderous he was, the more calm and patient he became. He knew that if he moved at this time, he would absolutely be out of control and would be drilled by Song Jingang Kongzi, as the days passed, the atmosphere around Li Shimin was extremely oppressive. If nothing happened, almost no one would dare to approach him.

Staring at the direction where Song Jingang was escaping for a moment, Li Shimin moved his slender and dry fingers, and took out a jade ring from his bosom. The jade is warm and moist, and the carving is quite exquisite, but it is not really a precious thing. .

It's just that Li Shimin was still cool just now, but there was a little more tenderness in Qinqin's black eyes that seemed to be empty.He stared at the jade jue, stroked it for a moment, and put it in his arms cherishingly. The tenderness in his eyes dissipated instantly. He stood up, walked to Yin Kaishan who was not far away, and said coldly: Go down, the whole army will rest on the spot for a whole day and night, and continue to pursue tomorrow at this time!"

On the second day, the Tang army continued to attack Jiexiu. At this time, there were only [-] people left in the Song army. Song Jingang led the whole army to fight against the city. Li Shimin personally charged.Song still did not give up, and wanted to gather the rest of his troops to fight again, but his subordinates were exhausted and did not want to see Li Shimin again. Song had no choice but to lead the remnants to defect to the Turks.

Because Liu Wuzhou devoted almost all of his military power to Song Jingang, if Song Jingang was defeated, Liu Wuzhou would be destroyed.

Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang were unable to fight anymore and fled to Turkic, so all the large stretches of Hedong land they occupied belonged to the Tang State.Li Shimin came back with a big victory, but he couldn't rest for a few days. Liu Wuzhou's previous actions made all the anti-kings ready to move against Tang. When Li Shimin was fighting against Song Jingang, Wang Shichong, who occupied Luoyang, began to attack Tang. Also killed the generals Zhang Shanxiang and Li Gongyi of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, Li Shimin had only been back from the battlefield for two months before going out again.

"Hmm..." Li Jiancheng frowned, with a slight blush on the jade-like side of his face. He is a person with no blood color, and he doesn't blush easily, so he looks very exciting at this moment.

Li Shimin couldn't help but stop, and leaned forward to gently rub the tip of his cold nose against Li Jiancheng's face, full of nostalgia.

"Why did you stop?" Li Jiancheng didn't bother to pay attention to his puppy-like behavior, and just closed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.

"Brother..." Li Shimin murmured, "I don't want to go to war anymore."

"You're talking nonsense again." Li Jiancheng glanced at him, "Wang Shichong killed Zhang Shanxiang, and my father was furious. You can't say it now, you are asking for a beating!"

The black pupils in Li Shimin's phoenix eyes are like pebbles soaked in ice water even in the hot summer, cool and uninviting. He lowered his eyelashes and said, "Father has become more and more unpredictable recently. I only said a few words last time, and he told me to get out with a sullen face..." At the end of the sentence, there was a bit of resentment, because the voice was low, and it was facing Li Jiancheng, it was inevitable that he was a bit coquettish mean.

"Who told you to contradict him in court again? Father doesn't like this the most. Have you forgotten how Mr. Liu died?" Li Jiancheng said indifferently. He snorted and complained, "It's too heavy!"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Li Shimin smiled, relaxed his movements, and said: "Brother, you are really, you are obviously not in good health, why don't you go to bed earlier, and you still read documents. Don’t fall asleep on the table, and make your bones sore now.”

"Just do what you want. Don't be too wordy." Li Jiancheng didn't sleep well last night. Now, under Li Shimin's kneading, he felt drowsy.

Li Shimin curled his lips and said, "Where's that woman? Isn't she usually taking care of elder brother?"

Li Jiancheng
