"Even if it's a ghost, what can I do!" Xue Renguo held the long sword, and immediately ordered the archers to shoot arrows upward, but the impact was far beyond the range, and the arrows fell one after another, hurting many of his own people.

I tossed and turned like this for half the night, and when it was dawn, nothing was gone, and everything was back to the same as before.

But the people in Xiqin City have spread the word, and there is a saying that has been recognized by everyone, that is, Xue Renguo is addicted to killing, and the souls of these people are unwilling, so they all come to him to ask for their lives!

These rumors quickly reached Xue Renguo's ears, and he was furious, and ordered that anyone who spoke nonsense would have the root of their tongues pulled out, but there was more than one person who said this, and everyone couldn't be killed, right?

So, the rumors spread more and more, and some people said that they had met Liu Gan, the general of the Tang Dynasty, and these were the Yin soldiers he led last night, and they were going to take revenge! Xue Renguo jumped like thunder, whipped people, and killed two generals who were afraid of death, but he still couldn't stop Youyou's mouth, and even attracted even greater resentment.

Xue Renguo had no choice but to invite the so-called wizard to analyze what the situation was, the wizard did the law for a day, and finally concluded that the Western Qin State was too murderous, and the soul of the injustice was not dispersed, first entangled the old emperor Xue Ju, and then he didn't understand the hatred, and came to Xue Renguo again, you have to be careful!

When Xue Renguo heard this, he was as upset as if he had eaten a fly, thinking that his father was indeed a strange death, he was in good health, but when he saw it, he approached Chang'an and occupied half of the country, but he suddenly became seriously ill, and he couldn't afford to be sick, and he returned to Yin in a few days. The explanation is not clear, but if it is according to the wizard. It's a possibility.

However, the general Zong Luohu did not believe in evil, he thought that the wizard was purely a fallacy to confuse the public, and the former emperor was not without any signs. For example, overeating, overindulgence, etc., and years of fighting, day and night reversal, lack of rest, these are all triggers for getting sick, so I persuaded Xue Renguo not to believe these nonsense.

Xue Renguo also calmed down. Yes, although this theory of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times, things that are too bizarre have always been just legends. And the haunted turmoil in recent days is too big, right? Maybe it's Li Shimin's trick!

Xue Renguo immediately ordered someone to pass on the wizard again for questioning, but this person was nowhere to be found, and inquired carefully, this wizard was not a local. I just moved in a few days ago. I didn't move around with anyone.

Xue Renguo was annoyed and ashamed, his heart was beating wildly, he almost fainted, and his face was sallow. It seems that he also inherited his father's physique, which is strong on the outside and dry on the middle.

Hearing that Xue Renguo also fell ill, the people in the city were even more panicked, and many people were active. It seems that the Xue father and son have been cursed!

When the news reached Gaoqi, Li Shimin and others laughed. Of course, this is Yuan Ziyan's plan, pretending to be a ghost. First of all, let these people with unique skills climb over the palace wall and enter, playing the role of unjust ghosts and asking for their lives. As for the white shadows in the sky, they are actually some white cloth cut into the shape of a human being, and then carried into the air by some Kong Ming lanterns wrapped in black cloth, and the general shape is faintly visible, and finally blown away by the wind, or burned into ashes in the air. Xue Renguo sensed nothing, as long as it could make the soldiers in the city and most of the people think it was true.

"Hehe, Ziyan talent, admire!" Li Shuliang arched his hand and said.

"If you make a surprise move, you will make Xiqin mess up, and you will sigh to yourself!" Dou Liang also praised with a smile.

"I think the results of this plan are far from over, and there must be new gains soon." Li Shimin said confidently.

Oh? Everyone looked at him curiously, and Yuan Ziyan was also a little confused, not knowing what kind of good news his move would bring? At this moment, a guard came to report that a team of several hundred people had appeared outside the city, and the leader was a strong man, bearded, and holding two large axes, saying that he had come to defect.

"What is this man's name?" Li Shimin asked.

"Liang Hulang!"

Several people looked at each other and smiled, this person's identity is not low, he is the general of Zong Luohu, the general of Western Qin, commanding 50,000 soldiers and horses. Dou Liang couldn't help but question: "Although I have seen this person, I don't know if he really wants to vote, don't it be Xue Renguo's strategy, right?" ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "It shouldn't be, last time Xue Renguo won a big victory, and captured countless materials from our side, but the reward to his subordinates was not even one-tenth, and when he arrived at Zong Luohu, he was deducted most of it, not to mention ordinary soldiers, just like generals like Liang Hulang just divided some weapons." ”

"Shimin, you have expected this phenomenon for a long time, right?" Yuan Ziyan asked with a smile, and he also admired his uncertain prophet in his heart.

"Hehe, the first merit is still purple smoke." Li Shimin did not hold it up, and then ordered the soldiers to call Liang Hulang in.

Liang Hulang was also interested, and took the initiative to lay down his weapons at the door, and asked the brothers to stay outside the door and come in by themselves. Seeing Li Shimin, who was sitting upright in the middle, bowed his head and bowed, "The little one knocks to His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

Get up, Li Shimin raised his hand and said.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Qin!" Liang Hulang also knew Dou Liang, Li Shuliang and others, and bowed one by one, showing great sincerity. In the process of saluting, he has been thinking about one thing, that is, who is this pretty woman sitting next to Li Shimin.

Suddenly, Liang Hulang suddenly realized, and the self-righteous kowtowed to Yuan Ziyan again, and said: "The little one knocks on Princess Qin!" ”

Well? Call me? Yuan Ziyan was stunned, but a few people next to him couldn't help laughing, and Li Shuliang corrected: "Talking nonsense, this is the military advisor Yuan Ziyan Yuan Junshi." ”

"Strategist? Hehe, I really didn't see it! Liang Hulang touched the back of his head and grinned, it's fun.

"Liang Hulang, let me ask you, why did you join our army?" Li Shimin asked.

Hey, Liang Hulang squatted on the ground with his buttocks, maybe it was because his buttocks hurt from riding a horse overnight, and another one got up, rubbing and sighing: "If there is a way to live, no one is willing to surrender." I used to be a general, but who knows what I will become when I come here, and I am still suspicious and wary, so I don't have to worry! ”

Li Shimin and the others glanced at each other and laughed, this person was really speaking.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't laugh, in Xiqin, Xue Renguo only cares about eating, drinking and having fun, and wastes countless things every day, but the soldiers have two meals a day, and they don't see meat. Xue Renguo is also extremely lustful, changing women every day, and killing them if it is not easy to do so. Hey, flower-like delicate little girl, you don't want to keep it for these people, hey, it's a waste! Liang Hulang couldn't help sighing.

Ahem, Li Shimin coughed a few times and signaled him not to say any more, but Liang Hulang said seriously: "His Royal Highness King Qin, what I said is true. That Xue Ren really changes women every day, sometimes several ...... a day"

"I already know." Li Shimin had to interrupt him and asked, "What is the situation in Western Qin now?" ”

"It's messed up!" Liang Hulang said happily: "The soldiers and the people can't eat enough, and they live in fear all day long. The prestige of the Tang Dynasty was far away, and sooner or later Western Qin was defeated. Hey, that Xue Renguo captured prisoners of war, and every time he killed them all, I couldn't bear to see it. I'm afraid that I will be defeated in the future, and I will be killed and avenged by you, so if I think about it, it is better to take the initiative to surrender! ”

"Are you sincere?" Yuan Ziyan interjected and asked.

"Hehe, the military advisors speak so well." Liang Hulang touched the back of his head, and suddenly saw a few pairs of eyes looking at him coldly, and hurriedly lowered his hand and said seriously: "Actually, I just said it casually at the beginning, but I didn't expect to get a positive response from my brothers immediately, and I came in a daze. Bandao also had remorse, but these brothers who were born and died said that if they went back and were discovered, it would be a death. I heard that the Tang army treats his subordinates well, and it is worth a try. ”

"Cut, that's the truth." Yuan Ziyan couldn't cry or laugh, and asked again: "You are in charge of 50,000 soldiers and horses, why only a few hundred people came, it shows that your appeal is still not enough!" ”

"Who said that?!" Liang Hulang's eyes immediately widened, and he defended: "As long as I have a bite to eat, I will not take it alone behind my brothers' back." First, the incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible to inform them one by one, and the rest of the people had families, and they would all come when the arrangements were ready. When the time comes, the military advisor will know me, no, what's that? ”

"Appeal!"

"Yes, how powerful it is for appeal!"

Li Shimin and the others couldn't help laughing again, and waved their hands to let Liang Hulang go down to eat first, the military rations here are not rich, and the hospitality is not good, so they can't be surprised.

Liang Hulang hurriedly said that he could eat enough, but when he saw the food on the table, Liang Hulang was simply happy, each person was two catties of beef, a jar of wine, and dry broth to eat and drink. Liang Hulang is the leader, and the salary is higher, three catties of beef.

According to the amount of food these soldiers, it is true that they can eat several catties of beef in one meal, but it is not bad to be able to eat two catties of meat during the war years. Liang Hulang first grabbed a handful and stuffed it in his mouth, fragrant, so fragrant!

However, Liang Hulang only ate this bite, then swallowed and stopped, and divided the rest of his beef equally among the brothers who came with him. Due to the large number of people, the beef was torn into small pieces by him, and he was extremely serious.

Later, Li Shimin also heard about this incident, and asked him in his spare time, why did he do this? Liang Hulang said that these are all good brothers, who share blessings and hardships. And this time to join the Tang Army, that is also to trust him, the risk is actually very large, in case he is killed as a prisoner of war, then these lives are all his own harm.

Now that I have to meet the master, I have a good future, and the good days of eating meat are ahead, so why care about these few bites now.

What Liang Hulang said was true, Li Shimin was very happy, and immediately promoted him to Li Shuliang as a deputy general, and the welfare benefits were only higher than before, and they would not be any less. Liang Hulang accepted his heart, and since then he has been loyal to Datang, which is a later story.

And when Xue Renguo heard that Liang Hulang was reversed, he was furious and personally asked those people around Liang Hulang. These people originally took care of the safety of their families and did not defect as soon as possible, but now they regret it and were personally killed by Xue Renguo, and their families were all distributed, and they were slaves and maids, and they did not see the light of day.
