. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
Li Shimin had been on the way to pursue Song Jingang, but because the soldiers were too hungry, they finally slowed down and left Song Jingang to fend for himself.
The group came to the city of Zhangnanbao, because these people's armor was shabby, bloodstained, unkempt and dirty, and there was no military flag sign, they couldn't tell where it was.
"Who's coming?"
As mentioned earlier, the Tang army cut off the Song Jingang grain road and occupied this place, and it was naturally the Tang soldiers who spoke to ask.
Li Shimin smiled slightly, stepped forward, took off his helmet, and the people on the city wall stared at the person below, his face was covered with blood and was very thin, and he still didn't see it.
"Quickly open the gates of the city for this king!" Li Shimin said loudly.
The people on the city wall were very excited, and many people could distinguish Li Shimin's voice, but first of all, King Qin was not so thin, and the second was not so dark. For the sake of safety, the soldiers on the city wall quickly reported the news to the general who defended the city at that time, the chief Zhang Dezheng.
As soon as Zhang Dezheng heard that it was the King of Qin who came, he immediately scolded everyone, why didn't he open the city gate? But the soldier said aggrievedly, King Qin has seen all the big guys, tall and mighty, how can he be like this person under the city wall, to say an inappropriate analogy, it is not yet called Huazi decent.
Zhang Dezheng hurriedly climbed the city tower and looked down, and saw familiar faces, the first person, although he was in rags, his eyes were shining, it was not the King of Qin or who!
"Oh, you guys are so confused, didn't you see the purple smoke girl next to King Qin!" Zhang Dezheng stomped his feet in a hurry, and ran downstairs in a gaffe. Choked up and shouted as he ran: "Quickly open the city gate for King Qin, King Qin must have won the battle when he passes by here!" ”
The castle was immediately boiling, and the soldiers quickly opened the city gate. Immediately after putting down the drawbridge, all the soldiers poured out of the city, all of them were emotional, although Li Shimin was covered in blood, but in their eyes he was still a god!
"King Qin is mighty! There is the King of Qin, Bao Datang! ”
"There is King Qin, protect the Tang Dynasty!"
The crowd shouted in unison. also includes the soldiers behind Li Shimin, who are deafening and shaking. Yuan Ziyan's eyes couldn't help but get wet. also shouted loudly: "There is King Qin, protect the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Shimin turned around and smiled: "Ziyan, why are you messing around with them!" ”
"Hero, I adore you!" Yuan Ziyan playfully stuck out her tongue. Li Shimin laughed. The mood is very happy. After half a year, under the concerted efforts of everyone, the strong walls were sharpened, waiting to break the enemy, mainly consuming the opponent's military food, occasionally raiding the opponent's weak cities, gradually weakening the opponent's strength, and then actively creating opportunities. Enter the counteroffensive.
is as quiet as a virgin and moving like a rabbit, this sentence is also appropriate to describe Li Shimin's battle plan. At first, he didn't move, King Qin was not in a hurry, the ministers were in a hurry, and they all jumped up and down, thinking that he had some selfish intentions. However, when they grasped the initiative of the fighters, they would never give up any opportunity, and they would fight hard against public opinion, and finally win a comprehensive victory.
It is no exaggeration to say that the recovery of Hedong is a landmark moment for Li Tang to officially turn things around, and it is of great significance for the future struggle for the Central Plains.
Well, let's not publish a summary, because the extremely excited soldiers have already lifted Li Shimin and his horses high, and with tears of excitement in their eyes and shouting deafening slogans, they have been carried to the city.
The officials immediately came to pay their respects, and Zhang Dezheng was even more excited, just now he rolled down from the city tower in a hurry, and he broke his foot, but he still came to bow to Li Shimin with the support of the soldiers.
"I wish King Qin a victory, and I will be majestic in the Tang Dynasty!" After speaking, Zhang Dezheng actually cried loudly, and many people couldn't stop crying when they saw this, and their admiration for Li Shimin was indescribable.
With such a King of Qin, resourceful and pioneering, he took back the Jiangdong that he had lost in half a year, so that everyone could see that the Tang Dynasty was rising rapidly and would surely become an era in history that was difficult to surpass.
"Hehe, Manager Zhang, don't be too excited, our King Qin has only eaten a palm-sized half-life bloody sheepskin in the past few days, you better get some food first." Yuan Ziyan also touched his shriveled stomach and said.
Yes? Zhang Dezheng burst into tears when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and ordered to take out all the food saved in the city, so that King Qin and his subordinates could be fed!
While waiting for the meal, the soldiers went to change their clothes, and Yuan Ziyan also took a good shower, embarrassed to say, although it was a girl, the water in the barrel also turned gray. Hehe, it may be that Li Shimin's bath water is going to turn into ink~
After the freshening was finished, the rice was ready, and the air was filled with a strong aroma, but when it came to his eyes, Yuan Ziyan was a little disappointed, because there was only rough half-white and half-yellow corn, and the soup was also crystal clear corn porridge.
In spite of this, everyone ate very happily, after eating a bowl and a bowl, steaming a pot and a pot, each person had to eat five bowls of brown rice on average, steamed hundreds of pots, and finally scraped all the bottom of the pot clean, made up a small half pot of water to boil porridge, and the soldiers guarding Zhang Nanbao made do with drinking to moisten their stomachs, because the food was too scarce.
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm, Li Shimin only smiled slightly at most, because he didn't have much strength to consume. After the meal, everyone was also very conscious, and hurriedly arranged for the tired soldiers to rest.
Everyone sleeps upside down, and they sleep for more than a day. Yuan Ziyan didn't know how long he had been asleep, he vaguely remembered that he slept in the dark, and it was still dark when he opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already bright, and it was noon.
For the time being, there is no food to be transported, everyone's life is more difficult, each person is given a baked potato, sleeping for so long, the rice in the stomach has long been consumed, a few bites to eat the potato, licking the mouth, still unfinished.
As soon as I returned to bed and wanted to sleep back, a guard came to report that King Qin had invited a girl from Ziyan.
Yuan Ziyan packed up his rope and rushed over, Li Shimin was reading, and his spirit recovered slightly, but his eyes were still full of exhaustion, which was distressing.
"Ziyan, is the war over, I heard that there is a temple near Zhang Nanbao, and there is nothing to do, why don't you go to worship the Buddha together?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.
"Let the Buddha forgive you for your sins?" Yuan Ziyan smiled evilly.
"Hehe, if I go to hell, I can change the peace of the world, I'd rather do that."
"Be careful what you say, the Buddha will hear you."
"Speak my heart, and there is no need to hide it."
……
The two talked and laughed, and walked towards a hill a few miles away from here, there was no name, and the height was only about a kilometer, and regardless of the strong physique of the soldiers, Yuan Ziyan could reach the top of the mountain in three hours.
There is a temple on the top of the mountain, and it is said that there are also monks living in it, and it often attracts worshippers from all over the world to come here, and the incense is also vigorous.
The two talked and laughed, and soon came to the foot of the mountain, when the snow had already melted, and the dead branches had sprouted fresh green shoots.
"Shimin, I see that your face is still not very good, why don't I take you to fly over?" Yuan Ziyan asked.
"It's just a few hills, and it's fun to talk and laugh while climbing." Li Shimin waved his hand to veto.
Coincidentally, neither of them mentioned the boring government and military affairs, and talked about the past and personal interests along the way, and unconsciously reached the halfway point of the mountain.
Li Shimin's physique is still relatively weak, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and sideburns, and his wheezing was a little heavy, laughing at himself: "I think I have been fighting horses for nearly ten years, and now I can't even climb the mountain." ”
"People are iron and rice are steel, you don't eat or sleep and fight for a few days, of course, your body will not be able to bear it. Shimin, you can't be so desperate in the future, it's best to have some health habits, so that you can be considered blessed and longevity. Yuan Ziyan said seriously.
"Are you concerned about me?"
"If you ask me to go to Li Mi, I will admit that it is!" Yuan Ziyan saw that Li Shimin was in a good mood, and put forward his own request, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to be really not ordinary stubborn, his face immediately became gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I left him a life, I have already borne the crime of bullying the king, if he is allowed to come to the world, I don't know how many people will suffer!" ”
"Okay, okay, you're right!" Yuan Ziyan said unhappily, sat on the stone steps, and did not speak with a cold face.
Li Shimin didn't want to spoil the good atmosphere that had just been restored, thought about it, leaned over and said, "Ziyan, you are used to telling jokes, why don't you tell another one?" ”
"Don't talk about it!"
"Tell me!"
Yuan Ziyan couldn't get up, so he had to frown and get up, and said, "Then I'll ask a question, and if you can answer it correctly, I'll tell you." ”
"Excuse me."
"A flock of sheep on the hillside, another flock of sheep came, how many sheep are there on the hillside?"
Li Shimin laughed, groaned slightly, and said, "Two flocks of sheep! ”
"It's not going to be such a simple question, that's all there is to your head!" Yuan Ziyan scoffed.
"Hehe, how can I not know the correct answer, it's just to make you laugh." Li Shimin stretched out a finger and said, "The answer is a flock of sheep." ”
Yuan Ziyan was sulking, and he couldn't hear the good words, so he still said unrelentingly: "Rounding around, it's not real at all, so dishonest, you are still the king of Qin!" ”
Li Shimin was also annoyed, and walked up to Yuan Ziyan, but Yuan Ziyan stubbornly pinned his body to the side, and there happened to be a passing pilgrim, who covered his mouth and snickered when he saw this, and thought it was a little couple who quarreled and turned their faces: "Fight at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, young man, let go!" ”
"Who are you, do you know what our relationship is, just talk nonsense!" Yuan Ziyan glared at the man dissatisfied, he hated this kind of hypocritical person, and he came out to pretend to be a good person at every turn, but in fact, he still didn't achieve the true meaning of peace in his heart.
"Don't want this kind of wife!" The pilgrim immediately turned his face, persuaded Li Shimin, and then continued to climb. (To be continued......)
