Just as Li Yuan closed his eyes, two beautiful girls of fifteen or sixteen years old came out of the tent. Li Yuan opened his eyes slightly and took a look, thinking that this old boy Pei Ji was still a good man.
Li Yuan must not let the people below him think that he is dissolute, so although he really wants to have beautiful women sleep with him during the war, he must not bring it up himself.
The two girls obediently took off their clothes and got into bed, getting into Li Yuan's bed.
Li Yuan had been tired for a day, but such a wonderful thing required two girls to take the initiative. He only had to lie down and enjoy it, and occasionally move his arms and mouth.
………
………
It was dawn, and with the sound of the wake-up call horn, the Li Army's camp outside Chang'an City woke up.
Even if Li Yuan just lay down and enjoyed it last night, he was still very tired from such a thing, not to mention scoring twice, so he slept so deeply that he was not awakened by the sound of the wake-up call.
It wasn't until the sound of messy footsteps sounded outside his handsome tent, mixed with shouts and shouts, that Li Yuan suddenly woke up from his sleep.
Thinking of the all-out attack on Chang'an City today, Li Yuan sat up with excitement.
The two concubines, who were extremely tired from last night, quickly got up and started to help Li Yuan buckle and crown him naked without even bothering to dress themselves.
Li Yuan has long been accustomed to this kind of service. He was born in a wealthy family and has enjoyed this kind of service since he was a child. He remembers that the first time he had sex was when he was thirteen years old, with a girl who was four years older than him. The first time
The feeling of comfort is something he will never forget.
After last night's exertion, Li Yuan just sat up violently and got out of bed, panting. In order to prevent himself from looking ugly when he got out of the barracks, he lowered his head and did not look at the beautiful and attractive bodies of the two girls. He just lowered his head.
Seeing those twenty pink toes as red as beans, he couldn't help but feel hot in his heart again.
These two girls are the concubines snatched from Jinyang Palace the day before yesterday. One is fifteen years old and the other is seventeen years old.
The two girls were a little clumsy, but they were beautiful, innocent and cute. When the people below selected them and sent them to Li Yuan, Li Yuan's eyes lit up at that moment, but he reprimanded them righteously in front of everyone.
The beauties came to the subordinates and said that they would be rewarded to the bravest warriors.
However, under Pei Ji's secret arrangement, the two girls finally came to serve him, Li Yuan.
Standing while letting the two girls put on their armor, Li Yuan thought to himself that he still needed someone like Pei Ji by his side. Otherwise, those rough turtles might really regard the two girls as theirs, and they wouldn't care about his origins.
What a bastard.
Li Yuan has reached an age where he needs to use the body of a young girl to show that he is still strong, so he has always been very accommodating to his concubines.
Grabbing money, grabbing land, grabbing women, he thought of Pei Ji's words again. To a certain extent, Pei Ji's words were not exaggerated at all. Men seem to fight for these things throughout their lives. They start fighting when they are teenagers until they are six years old.
At seventy years old, I will never be satisfied.
"I would like to ask Mr. Tang to order a general!" Pei Ji's voice came from outside the tent, sounding very serious. This is the advantage of this person. He always knows how to respect the superiors in front of everyone. When Li Yuan needs it, he will
Change your appearance at any time.
"Blast the drum!" Li Yuan lowered his voice and ordered loudly, then quickly walked out of the tent.
He took a breath of the cool north wind, touched his face, and tried to shake off the fatigue.
Then, surrounded by guards, he held his sword across his waist and strode towards the Chinese army, whose outlines were gradually emerging in the morning light.
The weather in Guanzhong was a little cold in early spring, but the soldiers were very enthusiastic. Especially some veterans who had followed the Li family for many years had an excitement on their faces that they had never seen before. Everyone's armor and shields seemed to have been wiped overnight.
Reflecting the cold flames.
For example, Lin Changshan was held high in the hands of the men, and the three-foot-long blade was so cold that it pierced your eyes.
When the soldiers saw Li Yuan walking past them, they all stood in awe, their eyes full of respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
This is the prestige that Li Yuan has accumulated in his daily life, bit by bit, every word and deed, and everyone's belief in him.
For a long time, buying people's hearts and making subordinates worship them has been a skill that the disciples of aristocratic families must master. However, some disciples have a high level of understanding and do it very well, even to perfection, such as Li Yuan and Li Shimin.
them
Their show-offs and intentional gestures make subordinates feel that they are coming from the bottom of their hearts, and their hearts are full of gratitude and respect.
In this regard, Li Jiancheng, the prince of Tang Gong, was even worse. As for Li Yuanji, when he did such things, he was even more superficial. Ordinary soldiers could sense his hypocrisy.
The other soldiers and horses who joined the Li family halfway were obviously not as high quality as the Li family veterans. They were running around here and there, as lively as if they were attending a big fair. But the ones they were carrying were not
Egg baskets and steamed buns and cakes, but spears and machetes.
Many bandits and soldiers from the green forest bandits hurried past pushing carts as high as two people. The sheds were covered with mud frozen hard by the cold wind. The frozen mud was as cold and hard as steel, even if a powerful crossbow was fired.
If you go up there, you can usually only shoot a white mark. This is a very simple siege weapon, but it can effectively help the soldiers resist bow and arrow attacks.
"Lord!" "Lord!" The soldiers who were former thieves did not understand etiquette and expressed their respect with cheers like a wave of heat. Li Yuan clasped his fists in all directions, kind and noble. He was intoxicated and enjoyed this enthusiasm, and it felt very wonderful.
With some spiritual satisfaction, Li Yuan summoned all the generals. He personally raised the flag and announced that the final attack on Chang'an City had officially begun.
Then, amid warm cheers, he mounted his horse and led the Chinese army to circle due east of Chang'an City. That was the attack point he chose for himself. Li Yuan firmly believed that his skills were not inferior to any young man.
But he had a little too much fun last night, and now he felt a little weak while riding the horse. He couldn't help but regret that he should have exercised more restraint last night.
When the first ray of sunlight hit the city, the first crossbow roared down. After holding on for more than ten days, the frightened Chang'an City defenders immediately jumped up and stumbled towards the green-brown battlements.
Those green-brown battlements quickly turned red again. The old bloodstains were shot away by arrows, and the new bloodstains re-covered the surface of the cold city bricks, solidifying and freezing, bright and picturesque in the sunlight.
"Blow the horn!" Li Yuan pulled out his horizontal sword and swung it forward with all his strength. "Woo-wu-wu-wu" the shrill sound of the horn resounded across the wilderness.
The morning mist hovering between the farmland and treetops in the distance was immediately dispersed by the sound of the horn, and large beams of sunlight shot down from the gaps in the clouds, accompanied by arrows flying in all directions.
"Woo-wu-wu-wu" under the blue sky, the sound of horns echoed constantly, like the roar of tigers and the roar of dragons, and like the rushing wind passing through the wall.
Li Yuan felt that all the blood in his body was burning. He shouted angrily and raised his sword forward. However, several personal guards blocked his way very rudely and used their bodies to form an insurmountable barrier.
"There is no need for my lord to do it himself!" Pei Ji paid most of his attention to Li Yuan, and he arranged the two girls last night. He immediately saw that Li Yuan was a little weak and his physical condition was not very good, so he was very timely and considerate.
Said something like this.
And without Li Yuan expressing his position, he quickly waved the corner flag and ordered Li Anyuan to lead the army to fight in Li Yuan's place. Then he and a group of guards and soldiers surrounded Li Yuan and stopped to watch the battle.
Li Yuan glanced at Pei Ji and nodded slightly to express his approval. He thought that Pei Shiju was so popular with Yang Guang that he and Yu Shiji still control the Sui Dynasty. This Pei family is really good at figuring out the emperor's heart! It's just him.
We must not be like Yang Jian, who was deceived by his favored ministers, did not know his true feelings, and ruined the country and the country.
In the blink of an eye, the sound of the trumpet was replaced by the cry of killing. Groups of Li family soldiers pushed ladders and siege vehicles, and quickly approached the city wall under the cover of archers. The frightened defenders gradually regained their composure.
, fight back.
The arrows came and went like the wind, taking countless young lives up and down the city. The ladder walking halfway was instantly "overgrown" with arrow shafts more than three feet long, and its weight increased sharply. The wooden cart installed at the bottom of the ladder made a creaking sound.
The screams became increasingly unable to withstand the sudden change in the center of gravity. Another powerful crossbow shot, hitting the crossbar at the top of the ladder. The huge thing shook and fell with a crash.
Before the defenders could re-erect the ladder that had fallen apart along the way, thousands of rockets trailed long plumes of smoke down the city.
Dozens of fireballs rose up on a ladder at the same time and quickly gathered into a ball of flames. The soldiers around the ladder had to give up, turn around and escape.
At the same moment, more ladders and siege engines were ignited, and the thick smoke choked people to tears. Even if the visibility reached this point, the whistling sound of arrows was still noisy. People kept falling and people screamed. In the smoke,
Rolling and struggling in the fog.
The guard of Chang'an City, Yin Shishi, stood in the tower, his heart full of despair. He did not expect that Li Yuan suddenly went crazy overnight and actually launched an attack on Chang'an City from all sides.
Referring to the art of war, this tactic of not leaving any way out for the defenders will greatly stimulate the fighting spirit of the defenders. But Master Yinshi knew that no matter how high the fighting spirit was, it could not save Chang'an from falling. The Sui Dynasty was over, Chang'an
The city is over, and your own glory and wealth will soon come to an end.
If Li Yuan surrounded the Three Ques, he still had hope to escape to Luoyang under the protection of his personal guards. He could borrow tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Wang Shichong and look for an opportunity to make a comeback.
But Li Yuan clearly didn't want to give him a chance to survive, nor did he want to give all the guards in the city a chance to survive.
It’s not like Master Yin Shi never thought of surrendering. Unfortunately, before the Li family in Taiyuan raised the flag of rebellion, Master Yin Shi, Gu Yi and others led troops to raid the Li family’s clan in Chang’an City. In the future, more than thirty masters and servants would be unable to escape.
All of them were beheaded in public display.
Immediately afterwards, under the instigation of their subordinates, they dug up the graves of Li Yuan's father and grandfather, crushed the bodies inside and scattered the ashes.
Therefore, from the moment Li Yuan's flag appeared outside Chang'an City, Master Yinshi had no intention of surrendering.
He knew that Li Yuan would not let him go. If the former atrocity of killing a whole family can be explained by the reason that everyone is their own master, the latter act of humiliating people's ancestors is an undying hatred that will last forever.
Hatred cannot be resolved.
Thinking of this, Master Yinshi couldn't help but feel resentful towards the staff and subordinates who had given him advice.
To be honest, at this point, he had already vaguely guessed that most of the staff and subordinates who gave him advice were secret agents of a certain force, in order to instigate him to form a deadly feud with Li Yuan, so that he could fight with Li Yuan in the Battle of Guanzhong.
Fight to the end.
He was even sure that those damn guys were from the Far East Army, and only the intelligence forces under King Qin An had this ability.
But...what if he knows the truth? What has been done has already been done. If he explains to Li Yuan, will Li Yuan's family stop killing him?
"But I can kill those guys first to vent my hatred." Master Yinshi gritted his teeth and secretly said, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
If those guys hadn't traveled all the way to Chang'an to report the news, the important ministers who stayed behind in the capital would not have believed that Li Yuan was indeed preparing to rebel.
If those guys hadn't offered advice and said a bunch of very reasonable words, he and a few others wouldn't have ordered the killing of the Li family members in Chang'an, leaving room for each other to meet each other.
If those guys hadn't said that destroying Li Yuan's ancestral tomb would destroy the good fortune of the Li family, his Yinshi master would not have done the boring thing of digging graves and robbing tombs. In that case, he would have done enough for the Sui Dynasty.
After being loyal, the Yin family can still surrender in the name of "Li Yi", and the family's glory can still be preserved.
"Huang Shi'en, Mao Mingxiang, and Zhang Fagui are three dogs. Where are you?" He rubbed his smoke-red eyes angrily and yelled.
In the current situation, Master Yinshi has realized that he, Wei Wensheng and others have been deceived by the Far Eastern Army's secret agents from the beginning. The reason why the other party gave them the idea to dig graves was not to destroy Li's family.
Family Feng Shui is to stop all the defenders from surrendering and let them fight to the death with the Li family.
Since everyone wants to fight to the end, Master Yinshi must of course kill the three instigators before he dies.
"General Qi, Mr. Huang, Captain Mao, and Mr. Zhang are participating in the defense of the city in the east, west and north of the city respectively." Some soldiers reported quickly. These three people can influence the thoughts of his Yin Shishi and Wei Wensheng.
It's because these three people are very talented, and also because these three people are their confidants or generals.
But looking at it now, these three people have obviously defected to the Far Eastern Army a long time ago, or in other words, these three people themselves are members of the Far Eastern Army.
"What, who asked them to go?" From the day after Wei Wensheng's death, he has been ordering these three people to follow him and never miss a step. "If I am exterminated, I will kill the three of you first."
What a bitch.' He thought bitterly, his heart filled with resentment.
"Captain Mao managed to get some secret weapons a few days ago, and they took people to distribute them at the top of the city!" A captain ran to Master Yinshi and reported loudly.
"Secret weapon, what secret weapon?" Master Yinshi was stunned for a moment, put his hands next to his ears, and asked loudly.
