Chapter 278: Dead Lips and Cold Teeth
. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co
The two of them comforted each other and ran for a long time, Dou Jiande lost too much blood, hallucinations appeared in front of him, and muttered: "Pei Ju, why do I seem to see Yu Wenhua and just ahead?" ”
Pei Ju couldn't help but slap a spirit, knowing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly said: "Xu is the king is wrong, Yu Wenhua passed away early." ”
"Passed away?" Dou Jiande's eyes widened suddenly, his hands fluttered wildly, as if he was blocking something, and shouted in his mouth: "Yu Wenhua, why did you throw your head at me!" ”
After speaking, Dou Jiande's eyes darkened, and he fell straight down from the horse, and Pei Ju hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped him up. However, the two war horses also saw that the end of their master was coming, so they ran away into the distance without looking back.
Pei Ju sighed, knowing that the fate of Xia Guo was also over, he couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
Soon, the Tang army surrounded them and aimed their spearheads at the two of them, Wei Chigong and the others were ecstatic, and let out the biggest cheer in their hearts with all their might, "King Qin is invincible!" King Qin is invincible! ”
Li Shimin's face was also full of excitement, and then he ordered: "Escort a group of people back to Luoyang!" ”
Li Yuanji, who is still in charge of the break, is bored drinking and eating meat and guessing boxing, Wang Shichong is too suffocated, it is estimated that their grain and grass should have been exhausted, why can't they come out?
At that time, Wang Shichong and the others will be vulnerable at all, and the credit for seizing Luoyang will fall on their heads.
Hmph, the second Li Shimin had bad intentions at all, and let himself fight Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande has more than 100,000 soldiers. If you want to achieve victory, it may not be until the Year of the Monkey, but it will definitely be after Wang Shichong opens the city gate.
Hey. After defeating Wang Shichong, Li Yuanji thought about encircling and suppressing Dou Jiande again, establishing two immortal meritorious achievements, and the rewards must be endless!
Just when Li Yuanji was dreaming, the guards suddenly came to report the good news, saying that King Qin had defeated Dou Jiande and would return to the barracks in a few days.
"What?!" Li Yuanji squirted out a mouthful of wine in his mouth. It's hard to believe that Wang Shichong, who is short of food and grass, refuses to leave the city, and Dou Jiande, who has a lot of soldiers and food, is defeated so easily!
Next. Li Yuanji led all the generals to welcome Li Shimin's arrival, and the generals were almost still in the original team and there were no obvious losses, and the total number seemed to be more than before, and it should have captured a lot of Xia troops.
And what surprised Li Yuanji the most was that. Li Shimin also captured Dou Jiande alive. At this time, Dou Jiande was wearing a cloak, and his eyes were blank and sitting in the prisoner car.
This, how is this possible!
Li Yuanji looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed: "God, you are still too partial to Li Shimin!" ”
When Li Shimin approached, Li Yuanji took a few steps forward listlessly, and said, "Congratulations to the second brother on his triumphant return and another miraculous achievement!" ”
"Hehe, if it weren't for the fourth brother guarding the rear. Wang Shichong did not dare to act rashly, second brother, it is difficult for me to say that I have achieved today. If you say there is merit. It's also our brothers' own. Li Shimin patted Li Yuanji's shoulder affectionately.
Li Yuanji took two steps back without smiling, obviously not liking Li Shimin's intimate actions, and said: "The army has set up a banquet to reward the soldiers." ”
No hurry! Li Shimin waved his hand, strode in front, and after sitting down, he asked people to bring Dou Jiande up, and after a while, the depressed Dou Jiande was pushed in, and his body was tied up with five flowers, where is there still a little bit of majesty before.
"Dou Jiande!" Wei Chigong roared disdainfully and asked, "Why don't you worship when you see King Qin?" ”
"Hmph, I am the king of Xia, and if I want to worship, Li Shimin will worship me!" Dou Jiande said stiffly.
"You have been defeated, why do you say this!" Cheng Biting Jin stepped forward in annoyance and was about to press Dou Jiande's shoulder, but Li Shimin waved his hand disapprovingly and motioned for him to step back.
"Dou Jiande, you and I were originally fine, I came to attack Wang Shichong, but what do I have to do with you?" Li Shimin asked slowly.
Dou Jiande sneered, glanced at Li Shimin with slanted eyes, and suddenly laughed: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, I don't take the initiative to fight back, he will still die in your hands every day." Li Shimin, why do you need to be hypocritical here, your father and son are ambitious, and there is room for others in your eyes. Speaking of which, Wang Shichong is a hundred times stronger than you, at least he still has some sincerity! ”
Oh? Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Since you miss your old friend, how about I let you two meet each other?" ”
No, no, no! Dou Jiande immediately panicked, "I, I don't want him to see me today!" ”
"Haha, when I see you, Wang Shichong can think of himself!" Li Shimin couldn't help but say, got up and commanded loudly: "Come, pass on my general order, and immediately come to Luoyang City!" ”
Order!
Everyone responded in unison, their faces flushed with excitement, and the war was finally coming to an end!
All the soldiers came to Luoyang City together, which was endless and dizzying. Li Shimin didn't shout, just stood quietly under the city, staring coldly at everything in the city.
Sure enough, when Wang Shichong learned the news, he was so shocked that he almost fainted, and when he heard that Dou Jiande had been captured, he rolled his eyes and lay back.
When Wang Shichong woke up, the first thing he asked was, he had been in a coma for a long time, and he didn't annoy the Tang Army outside, right?
Everyone shook their heads in unison, then lowered their heads and said nothing, the room was lifeless. Wang Shichong struggled to sit up and sighed: "Okay, help me to the top of the city wall to have a look." ”
When Wang Shichong stood tremblingly on the city wall, his heart swelled with great sorrow, there were more Tang troops outside than the stars in the sky, and there was a prisoner car parked in the front, and it was Dou Jiande who was trapped inside.
When Wang Shichong saw this person, he immediately became angry, and said angrily: "Dou Jiande, you despicable villain, you used to be insatiable and refused to send troops to rescue you, but now it's good, you were captured one step ahead of me, it's really retribution!" ”
Bah! Dou Jiande also spat disdainfully, and said: "Wang Shichong, you turtle and snake heart, if you fall for you, I will definitely be killed by you after the matter is completed!" ”
The two straightened their necks and scolded each other, and suddenly they were silent, and then both of them burst into tears, Dou Jiande sighed and said: "Brother Wang, don't do the battle of trapped beasts again, for the sake of your descendants and the people of the clan, let's surrender!" ”
Wang Shichong didn't speak, but just arched his hand slightly to Dou Jiande, and then retreated from the city tower without news.
The generals waited a little impatiently, Cheng Biting Jin shook his axe and said, "King Qin, or I will directly lead the troops to rush in and cut off Wang Shichong's head!" ”
"I'm willing to lead the troops to help the second brother!" Li Yuanji also hurriedly expressed his determination, because in his opinion, this battle must be won, and whoever enters will be the credit of whom.
Li Shimin smiled and said nothing, and only turned around and asked, "What does the military advisor mean?" ”
"What I mean is very simple, there should be no change tonight, it's better for everyone to camp on the spot, eat and drink well, and have a good night's sleep, maybe wait until tomorrow to wake up, the gate of Luoyang City is wide open, and it is difficult to say that Wang Shichong took the initiative to surrender." Yuan Ziyan smiled lightly.
Haha, Li Shimin laughed heartily, obviously Yuan Ziyan's thoughts were very consistent with him, but Li Yuanji frowned dissatisfiedly, and muttered: "Conquer Luoyang as soon as possible, and I am always undecided, in case there are variables in my life, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”
"Yuanji, you are not in a hurry when we leave for so long, why can't you hold your breath today?" Yuan Ziyan said disapprehantly, and then ordered the soldiers to raise a bonfire, sing and dance, barbecue and drink, and be very happy.
"Yuanji, don't drink alone, come on, join our team!" Yuan Ziyan beckoned to Li Yuanji kindly, and Li Shimin was also smiling at him.
Li Yuanji was indeed a little shaken, and he wanted to get closer to the past and laugh with them, but the hatred for many years would not disappear in a while, and he finally returned to his tent and slept with his head covered.
Wang Shichong was also holding a banquet in the palace at this time, and took out all the materials stored in the city, which was very rich and fragrant.
All the ministers of civil and military affairs, including the high-ranking women of the back court, were present, although there were many people, but none of them spoke, and everyone was gloomy and emotional.
Wang Shichong looked around, raised his wine glass, and said, "Come, I'll wait to drink this cup!" ”
Only a few people obediently picked up the wine glass, Wang Shichong was furious when he saw this, threw the wine glass on the ground, and roared angrily: "I am still waiting for you and the king, so ignorant of lifting, is it possible that I will give you a cup of poisonous wine?" ”
Everyone panicked and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, tremblingly raised their wine glasses, and at the same time replaced Wang Shichong with a new cup, and Wang Shichong was so angry that he suddenly overturned the desk in front of him, threw his sleeves and returned to his bedroom.
This night, Wang Shichong thought a lot, and what he thought about the most was death. In front of him, all kinds of painless poison and poison and wine were put on a big trip, he really didn't want to fall into the hands of Li Shimin and be laughed at, but he really didn't want to die!
Look at this huge palace, and then look at the dragon robe on your body, there are countless beauties in the back court, and everyone bows down to the ministers, this kind of good life is really not enough!
However, with a hint of fantasy, Wang Shichong finally decided to take the initiative to open the city and surrender, even if he was sent to the frontier, he could live in peace.
No one slept peacefully in Luoyang City, but there was laughter outside the city, in such a stark contrast, the soldiers on the Luoyang city wall were too lazy to guard, either resting on the side, or lying on the top to watch the lively scene below.
In the early morning of the second day, the sky was just dawning, and sure enough, as Yuan Ziyan said, with the sound of squeaking and jacking, the heavy city gate of Luoyang slowly opened, and then a team of people walked out with solemn faces.
The first person is tall and mighty, but his beard is half white, his spirit is haggard, and he is dragging a square box in his hand, which is Wang Shichong. Behind Wang Shichong are his dejected sons, and then there are ministers with different expressions, some with depressed faces, and some looking left and right, looking forward to meeting the master and starting a new life mode.
