The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 964 Li Shimin Bravely Enters Dingzhou (2)

Li Shimin asked everyone to take out all the valuable things. He took the lead and collected all the gold, silver and soft things on his body except for the swords, guns and horses. The market bought brocade cloth to make flags, and told the two of them to buy some shovels and other useful things. He, Li Xiaogong and Duan Zhixuan made up their makeup and went out of the forest to inspect the terrain. Among the jungle.

In the valley in the west of Dingzhou, Li Shimin took a fancy to a place, which is not only suitable for setting up a fortress, but also suitable for ambush soldiers and horses. It is about [-] miles away from Dingzhou, and the distance is just right.

After choosing the terrain, Li Shimin took the two generals back. After dark, Fang Mou Duan also returned with a full load. The hired carts pulled several carts, all of which were ready-made banners. Under the cover of night, they rushed to the selected site and started working.

Li Shimin divided the labor of these dozens of soldiers, and began to arrange and design according to the scale of the camp of 10 horses. Some began to densely spread banners, and some began to dig military stoves, set up camps, dig trenches, and bury antlers.

After Li Shimin made the arrangements, he did not command others to work arrogantly. He was the supervisor and leader. Instead, he took the pick and took the lead and did it himself.

Dozens of soldiers were greatly encouraged, and each worked harder than the other. In this way, their monarchs and ministers kept busy until the fourth watch was approaching, before they were considered to be completely arranged.

After Li Shimin inspected it, he expressed his satisfaction, and then Yang Xiaogong, Duan Zhixuan, Liu Hongji and a few sentries took turns to guard, and the others rested.

Don't look at Li Shimin lying down, he can't sleep at all, because what he has to deal with tomorrow is not ordinary people, but King Youyan Luo Yi and Yumian Hanqiang Luo Cheng, with nearly 20 troops under his command, the father and son are fuel-efficient, Thinking about what might happen tomorrow and how to deal with it, Li Shimin tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

In fact, he was already very tired. After so many days of drilling in the mountains and forests, he also did most of the physical work for most of the night. Let alone a high-ranking King Qin, even migrant workers probably couldn't bear it.However, the biggest blow to Li Shimin was not physical fatigue, but mental torture.

These days, Li Shimin seemed to be having a nightmare. The well-behaved Tang Dynasty is now riddled with holes, brothers turning against each other, brothers, mother, queen, and father and emperor passing away one after another. Tens of thousands of soldiers under him died and were injured. Injured, escaped, and now this poor family is left, he was almost defeated!

Li Shimin thought about this, sometimes shed tears, sometimes gritted his teeth, making a comeback and seeking revenge from Yang Yong was his only courage and motivation to live.

At this time, his mind sank and he was about to fall asleep, but suddenly, Li Jiancheng came to him with a sword. Li Shimin was startled.

At this time, Li Jiancheng pointed at him with his sword and asked, "Second brother, why do you covet my crown prince?"

"Ah? Big brother, I didn't... It was sealed by the father, it has nothing to do with the little brother..."

"You lied! Do you dare to swear to the Tianmeng? You have planned carefully and carefully planned to vote for Yang Yong. Even the women are handed over to each other. You won the love of the father and the queen. You form cliques and eliminate dissidents..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled out his sword without showing weakness: "Shut up! Li Jiancheng, I befriend Yang Yong, it's just a plan, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, without any selfishness. But you What? You were rebellious, colluded with Yang Yong, fought against the father, killed Yuanba, Yuanji and the son-in-law, all for your crown prince, you are too selfish. Do you know that father, queen and queen are now Dead, they were all killed by you, how can I tolerate you!"

The more Li Shimin spoke, the more he hated him, and he was furious. He stabbed out with a sword, and Li Jiancheng didn't dodge, and hit Li Jiancheng's chest with a pounce.

But in an instant, Li Jiancheng turned into Li Yuan, covered in blood, and rushed towards him with bared teeth and claws, "Nizi...you have all been fooled by Yang Yong..."

"Oh Father?..." Li Shimin woke up suddenly and called Li Yuan's name, but it was pitch black all around, and there were no shadows of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, it turned out to be Nankey Yimeng.

"Your Highness, are you dreaming?" Liu Hongji, who had just finished his shift and was in charge of protecting him nearby, came over with a waist knife.

Li Shimin nodded. "Your Highness, it's almost dawn, let's rest quickly." After Liu Hongji finished speaking, he went to inspect.

Li Shimin lay down and couldn't fall asleep anymore. In fact, he was too sleepy just now, and the blow he had suffered was too heavy. Not long after he fell asleep, he had a dream. It was so real that he broke out in sweat.

He gently got off the bed, came to the tent door and stood still, looking at the stars in the sky, reminiscing about the dream just now, suddenly remembered Li Feng'er, hated Yang Yong so much that he gritted his teeth with hatred, then called Du Ruhui into the tent overnight, and let him After dawn, the carrier pigeon sent an order to Li Feng'er, telling her to get away quickly, and waited for an opportunity to kill Yang Yong.

After Du Ruhui left, Li Shimin thought of the situation in front of him and how he would meet the Luo family father and son after dawn. He thought about it again until the stars faded and the east turned pale...

As soon as the day dawned, Li Shimin was full of energy and led people to inspect yesterday's fortifications. After all, it was unsightly to work in the dark. Li Shimin inspected this fake camp carefully again, and repaired the places with obvious loopholes. I felt that it was almost done, and only when the sun was three poles did I wake up all the soldiers.

After eating hastily, he dispatched Fang Xuanling, a think tank, to go to Dingzhou to meet Luo's father and son after a few words of advice.

After Fang Xuanling took the order, he took a few relatives and rode fast horses and set off...

Luo Yi's large tent in the military camp of Dingzhou City.

Luo Yi and Luo Cheng are discussing the military situation.

Luo Cheng saluted and said: "Father, Yang Yong mixed into Bingzhou a few days ago, causing chaos in the capital. Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin killed each other. As a result, both sides suffered. Li Yuanba, Li Yuanji, Chai Shao, Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, etc. all died. Yang Yong's The three-way army took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. The Tang Dynasty is over, what are you waiting for, quickly establish yourself as the king, and do a big job? I will save you, first kill Su Dingfang, drive out Li Jing's men, and then go north Decide on the Turks, and the world is yours!"

Luo Yi nodded, then shook his head lightly, "Cheng'er, don't be reckless, Su Lie and Li Jing are not idle people, Li Yuan and Li Shimin's whereabouts are unknown, we'll wait and see, let Yang Yong's men and Li Jiancheng The troops and the Turkic soldiers will fight first and consume them as much as possible, and we will send troops when the time is right."

A gloomy light flashed in Luo Cheng's eyes, "Father is wise, but my son is afraid that if this goes on, the good opportunity will be missed. The thief Yang Yong's men are overwhelming, and he will take all the cheap things. My son is not angry."

Luo Yi walked a few steps in the tent with his hands behind his back, "In the big Tang Dynasty, Yang Yong has a big appetite, can he digest it after eating it? Can the Turkic people agree? The big battle is still to come, and our father and son will show their skills." Time. Keep calm and don't act rashly."

Luo Yi turned around and thought of something suddenly, "By the way, my father asked you to send someone to inquire about the situation of your mother and your elder brother Song'er. Is there any news?"

"Just about to report this matter to the emperor, they were unscathed in the Bingzhou incident."

"Thank goodness." Luo Yi revealed a happy expression.

"But father, mother and elder brother plunged into Yang Yong's arms. They have long forgotten us, and father still misses them. In the future, we will inevitably face each other on the battlefield..."

The father and son were talking, and the reporter came in from outside the tent and knelt down to report: "The reporter learned that Fang Xuanling was ordered by the new crown prince Li Shimin to see the prince and the Shaobao, and he had already arrived outside the west gate of Dingzhou. "

When Luo Yi and Luo Cheng heard this, they were taken aback.
