"Go to bed early and get up early, take care of yourself!"
There was a faint banging sound coming from outside, one fast and four slow, followed by two more gentle drum beats. This was the fifth watch at two o'clock (3:48).
Huaiyu opened his eyes, and sure enough, it was already dark outside the window.
At this time, the morning drum at the Chengtian Gate at the main entrance of Taiji Palace should have been beating, and the patrolling Wuhou would also run on the Sixth Street to tell the time. With their loud voices, Chang'an woke up, and the city gates and square gates started to ring in turn.
Open, thousands of households will start a new day.
Yawning, Huaiyu wanted to sleep a little longer.
It was really too early. When the watchman finished work and went home at five o'clock, it was only five o'clock in the morning.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he felt something was wrong, as if he had forgotten something.
A faint fragrance came through, and Huaiyu suddenly woke up.
The female giant insect Fan Xuanfu.
There is also Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao who have not appeared recently.
Li Shimin issued a military order and stopped the retreating troops in the rain to fight with their last resort.
Prince Li Shimin listened to politics in the Xiande Hall during the day, rested in the Lizheng Hall at night, and occasionally met with ministers in the Chongjiao Hall.
The Xiande, Chongjiao and Lizheng halls in the East Palace correspond to the Taichi, Liangyi and Ganlu halls in the imperial palace.
There was even news from the rear that Liu Wuzhou of Mayi had gained support from the Turks and named him Dingyang Khan, and borrowed Turkic cavalry to attack Li Yuanji in Taiyuan.
Li Shimin had some impressions and was very surprised, "Even the imperial doctor can't do anything, so that young man actually has such ability?"
But the Battle of Huoyi and the Battle of Baibi put huge pressure on Li Shimin.
"A disciple of an expert, his sect is powerful."
Where are people?
Later, Li Shimin once again took charge of the expedition when he was in danger. Fortunately, he got Qin Qiong, Cheng Yao Jinniu Jinda, Wu Heita, Liu'an Gongsun Wuda, Li Junxian and Liu Lancheng who came to vote from Wagang.
······
noon.
Gone.
After that, Li Shimin led Qin Qiong and others to launch a major counterattack, marching more than 200 miles day and night and fighting dozens of battles. He caught up with Song Jingang in Queshu Valley. The soldiers did not disarm for three days, and the entire army only ate one sheep.
, but in the end, they still pursued Song Jingang and fought eight times, defeating the enemy.
The palace attendants quickly lit the lamps in the palace.
Then Li Shimin sent Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Duan Zhixuan, Yin Kaishan and other Xuanjia cavalry generals to set up an ambush in Meiliangchuan. Qin Qiong exchanged three whips for two maces and defeated Yuchi Gong. Yuchi Gong only fled back with Xun Xiang, and soon he
He led his troops to secretly break out of the encirclement, but was ambushed by Qin Qiong sent by Li Shimin, who again defeated Yuchi Gong and forced him to escape alone.
Song Laosheng was directly captured by Li Shimin. The Sui army was in chaos. Song Laosheng could not even return to the city. In the end, he was knocked down into the ditch and killed by Liu Hongji.
He lifted the quilt and looked around.
At that time, Li Yuan and his son, his confidant Pei Ji, and others could not come up with a good solution after secret discussions all night. They were in a dilemma. Li Yuan even dreamed about losing his hometown in Taiyuan at night and cried anxiously. In the end, he decided to withdraw his troops and return to Taiyuan first.
······
East Palace, Li Zheng Hall.
The left guard led Wei Chi Jingde, the right guard led Cheng Zhijie, the left guard led Duan Zhixuan, the right inner guard led Zhou Shaofan, the left guard deputy led Hou Junji, the right inner deputy led Zhang Gongjin, the right prison guard led Sun Anye, and the right inner deputy led Li
Visitors, etc.
He led dozens of cavalry to the city to scold Song Laosheng and deliberately lured the enemy into fighting. When Song Laosheng came out, Li Shimin and Duan Zhixuan personally led the elite cavalry down the horse and rushed directly behind Song Laosheng's army. Yin Kaishan led the ambushing rear army.
Outflank the enemy.
"Your Highness is busy with many things, but you don't know that Shu Bao's condition has improved greatly. Now he is not only leaving the bed, but he is also said to be able to wield a four-edged gold mace every day. I heard from my concubine that he is the martial nephew of Ying Guogong Warrior Yu.
Erlang's elixir is very good. He is the same Nawu Erlang who used to practice Taoism in Zhongnan Mountain and saved His Highness Baiqi Wu Huaiyi when he came down the mountain. His Highness also gave him a golden knife and asked the local government to grant him a hundred acres of land."
Song Laosheng was the Hu Yalang General of the Sui Dynasty. When Li Yuan and his son raised troops from Taiyuan, they arrived at Jiahu Fort, where they were stopped by Song Laosheng with 20,000 elite troops. Song Laosheng took advantage of the favorable terrain to stop them. It happened to be rainy in autumn and July, and Li Yuan
The father and son's soldiers and horses were blocked by Song Laosheng and Qiu Yu, and the army's morale fluctuated. The rain continued for a long time. The army was short of food and supplies were difficult to come by.
Li Shimin nodded, "The most brave and capable warriors under Gu's command are Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, Duan Zhixuan, etc." These people are also his generals of Xuanjia Cavalry.
This battle lasted for more than half a year. Li Shimin not only recaptured Hedong, but was even frightened to the point where Liu Wuzhou abandoned Bingzhou and fled to the Turks. Soon the bereaved dog Liu Wuzhou was killed by the Turks, and Li Tang's Hedong was safe from then on.
"I just dreamed of those two headless ghosts again, and they were demanding my life." Li Shimin was the emperor, a master archer, and good at using a sword, but he has been haunted by this evil ghost these days.
But there was no trace of her in the room. Finally, after searching on the couch, she only found a few black hairs.
Spring dream without trace.
Huaiyu felt a little disappointed.
After a hard wait, the rain finally stopped, the weather cleared, and the fighter plane arrived.
Even now, when I have nightmares, I still dream about these two people coming to claim my life.
That battle at that time made both Li Yuan and Li Shimin cry, and almost killed the Li family from both sides.
At this critical moment, Li Shimin once again requested to attack Song Laosheng and take Guanzhong directly, but Li Yuan refused to see him and wanted to withdraw his troops. Li Shimin cried anxiously outside the tent. Finally, Li Yuan was persuaded by Li Shimin and decided to let his son try again.
If Song Laosheng still cannot be defeated, he will return to Taiyuan to aid.
On the dragon couch in the Li Zheng Palace, Crown Prince Li Shimin suddenly woke up in horror. He was breathing rapidly, his eyes were wide open, and he was covered in sweat.
Yuchi Jingde's lone army was defeated and defended Jiexiu, and was eventually surrendered by Li Shimin and Qin Qiong himself.
Although Song Laosheng and Liu Wuzhou were not very powerful in the Li-Tang unification war, Xue Ju and his son, the overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty, once defeated the eight general managers of the Li and Tang Dynasties in Qianshuiyuan, and they were about to reach Chang'an. Wang Shichong occupied the Central Plains, and Dou Jiande
According to Hebei, even Li Mi of Wagang was able to force Li Yuan, who had just entered Chang'an, to write a letter calling for the alliance leader.
"It was them at first, but later it became Jiancheng and Yuanji."
"But Shu Bao couldn't afford to fall ill that day, so he sent famous doctors from Shang Yao Bureau, Imperial Medical Department, and Yao Zang Bureau to see him, but they couldn't get better." Li Shimin sighed. After he was named the crown prince, he originally planned to make Shu Bao the crown prince.
The left guard was led by Yuchi Gong, the prince's right guard, Cheng Yaojin was the deputy leader of the left guard, Hou Junji was the deputy leader of the right guard, and Shu Bao was given command of the Beimen camp. However, he was seriously ill, so he had to let
Yu Chigong led the left guard, and Cheng Yaojin led the right guard.
There was still a trace of body fragrance lingering in the air, and even a medicinal smell.
In particular, Qin Qiong was extremely powerful and brave. At that time, Liu Wuzhou not only captured Taiyuan, but also successively occupied Jin, Jiang, Longmen and other places.
In the Chongjiao Hall, the prince Li Shimin was discussing matters with a group of close ministers. The prince Zhan Shiyu was a scholar, the concubine on the left was the eldest son Wuji, Du Ruhui, the concubine on the right was Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling,
"Your Highness, are you having nightmares again?" Sun Wugao, the crown prince's eldest concubine who had been living with Li Shimin, quickly comforted him. She stroked the prince's back and spoke softly to comfort him.
"Are they Liu Wuzhou and Song Laosheng again?" Changsun asked.
After the bloody incident at the palace gate, Li Shimin took over the East Palace. Three days after the palace incident, Emperor Li Yuan issued an edict to confer him the title of crown prince. He was granted the title in the Xiande Hall, the front hall of the East Palace, and has been living in the north of the Xiande Hall ever since.
Li Zheng Palace.
impossible.
Li Shimin gasped for breath, and it took him a while to calm down.
It seemed to be a dream last night. At dawn, I woke up from the dream.
Back then, Li Yuanji lost Taiyuan and fled to Chang'an to cry. Li Yuan and Li Shimin were so shocked that they almost cried again. He led his troops to attack Song Jingang and Wei Chigong, and stationed troops in the Baibi area for half a year. At that time, he was under great pressure.
I even woke up in the middle of the night more than once.
"I heard that Song Jingang was the Huyalang general of the previous dynasty, but he and Shu Bao were both in the same old army to protect children. It is said that he admired Shu Bao very much. The most powerful general under Liu Wuzhou at that time was Yuchi Gong, and Yuchi Gong was also
After being defeated by Shu Bao and having Shu Bao guard the palace gate, Song Laosheng and Liu Wuzhou would never dare to attack again." The eldest grandson took a cup of ginseng tea from the palace maid and gave it to Li Shimin, "Although Jingde was defeated by Shu Bao before, but before
On the day of the Xuanwu Gate, Jingde killed Yuanji with an arrow, and held the two heads to scare off the palace soldiers who counterattacked in front of the Xuanwu Gate. He asked Jingde and Shubao to guard the gate together, so even if the two men were unwilling to do so, they would not dare to approach."
This stalemate lasted for half a year. Li Shimin took advantage of the enemy's hunger and poverty and mobilized troops to attack Lu Chongmao in Xia County, who surrendered to Liu Wuzhou. He also deliberately surrounded and refused to destroy him, allowing him to send reinforcements to Song and Jin Dynasties. This led Yuchi Gong to send troops to rescue, and the Tang army in besieging Xia County pretended to be defeated, luring Yuchi into it.
Christine goes deep.
Liu Wuzhou's native Ying Yanglang general in Mayi got the support of the Turks and named him Dingyang Khan. Taking advantage of the Turks' power, he has been threatening the foundation of the Li family in Hedong. He even broke into Taiyuan. Yuan Ji, who stayed behind, fled back to Guanzhong in embarrassment. Liu Wuzhou's subordinates
The fierce general Wei Chigong swept almost half of Hedong, and the Li family was in danger.
The sky is slightly bright.
Li Shimin crossed the Yellow River at Longmen, stationed troops at Baibi, and used Fang Xuanling's plan to confront Marshal Song Jingang of Liu Wu and Zhou. He occupied a dangerous position and could not get out of the wall. Although Song Jingang had Yu Chigong and other powerful generals who could fight against thousands of people, he could come from afar for supplies.
In the face of difficulties, when Li Shimin was unable to escape, there was nothing he could do.
"I heard that these evil spirits are most afraid of fierce generals. Those generals who fight on the battlefield are the best at warding off evil spirits. Why don't Your Highness call the fierce generals from the court to keep watch at night, so that evil spirits will not dare to approach. No matter what the headless ghost is.
Neither Song Laosheng nor Liu Wuzhou, nor anyone else, dared to come again."
"That's right. Okay, then Chuan Shubao and Jingde will come here, wearing armor and holding swords. If you can, they will stand guard for me for a few days."
Fan Xuanfu left without saying goodbye.
The Tang army finally broke through Huoyi and opened the gate to Guanzhong.
We haven't seen him for a long time. Although he is still very thin, his complexion has recovered well and his voice is loud again.
Everyone stood up to welcome the return of Qin Shubao, the number one general of the Qin Prince's Group, and everyone here was an old friend.
Li Shimin stepped forward and hugged the old man affectionately. Although Qin Qiong only brought Cheng Yaojin with him in the second year of Wude to abandon Wang Shichong and join the Tang Dynasty, the two of them fought side by side for seven years. He has always been Li Shimin's.
The commander-in-chief of the Ma Army and the guard of the army.
"Then what magic elixir did Wu Erlang give you? It really made you regain your glory. I must reward him well."
