. Shumilou.CoM.Shumilou.Co

Due to the unbearable oppression, many people rushed out at the risk of death and took refuge in the Tang Army. Xue Renguo ordered to control all the people in the city, especially the families of these soldiers, if anyone dares to rebel again, it will be self-inflicted!

The adults were fine, and they didn't speak, but one child was frightened, crying and shouting to run away. Xue Renguo was speaking loudly, and he stopped drinking several times, only to make the child cry more fiercely. Xue Renguo was so annoyed that he shot an arrow with a bow, and an arrow pierced the child's throat, and the child convulsed a few times and died in pain.

Poof, a deputy general next to Xue Renguo vomited a bloody arrow, and fell to the ground on his back, it turned out that this child belonged to his family, five generations of single seedlings, and a large family on weekdays was afraid of melting in their mouths, and they were afraid of falling in their hands. Now that he has died tragically under his nose, how can this lieutenant not be sad.

Xue Renguo was also stunned, he didn't expect to shoot the officer's child at once, but how could his character easily admit his mistake. asked with a straight face: "What, are you not convinced?" ”

"Convincing, how can you not be convinced!" Zong Luohu replied first, then leaned closer, and persuaded in a low voice: "Holy Lord, the big war is coming, don't kill the general again!" ”

The lieutenant struggled to get up, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and saluted coldly and stiffly: "Weichen is not convinced!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Xue Renguo was furious, he had already killed so many people, are you still afraid of you, and raised his knife as he spoke.

The adjutant general didn't blink his eyes, stared at the child on the ground, and said: "It was Li Shimin who Weichen was not convinced, if it weren't for his unwarranted harassment." How could my son be killed by the Holy One? ”

Xue Renguo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes." That's right, it's my manslaughter! Come on, bury this son according to the gift of the three grades! ”

"Thank you, but the child is still handed over to Weichen, let Weichen bury it in the ancestral grave!" The lieutenant said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Good!" Xue Renguo patted his belly and said generously.

"Holy Lord, in the opinion of the ministers, he should immediately send troops to the high jaw. Hit Li Shimin off guard! The adjutant said suddenly.

"That's what I mean!"

"The Holy Lord is going to send troops to attack Li Shimin!" Unexpectedly, the deputy general immediately turned around and shouted loudly to the audience, and everyone was stunned, and then raised their arms and cheered. It seems to support this decision.

After everyone had dispersed, the adjutant general picked up the already cold child, tears surging up, and the arrows and blood had frozen into ice. If you take it out, you are afraid that it will damage the body. The adjutant general's heart is like a knife. Turning his head and glaring in the direction of the palace, he gritted his teeth and said: "Xue Renguo, you hurt my son, I will make you pay for your blood debts and blood, and cut off your children and grandchildren!" ”

After Xue Renguo went back, Zong Luohu couldn't help complaining: "Your Majesty, I was holding on to the strategy before, how could I suddenly change my mind." I'm going to attack Li Shimin! ”

"Hey, if you don't beat yourself again, you'll be in chaos. It's a diversion. Move the spearhead from me to Li Shimin! Xue Renguo said unhappily.

"It's always time for the ministers to discuss."

"Is it your turn to teach me? Most of those ministers were born in sour and rotten literati, and they were used to living a rich life, which one was willing to fight. I have already made a decision in front of others, so I can't change it at will. Immediately organize the soldiers and horses and go to the high jaw. Xue Renguo said and rubbed his aching forehead, and said impatiently: "After the fight early, clean up early, wait for the second half of the year to see if I burn Chang'an and snatch all the beautiful concubines in the palace!" ”

Yes, this is Xue Renguo's lofty ambition, and it is difficult to achieve great things. Some people may think that the author deliberately wrote this way in order to highlight the character of some historical figures, but in fact, this is not the case, and Xue Renguo's father also thinks so.

Isn't Xue Renguo's father Xue Ju? Didn't you die early?

Yes.

Here's what happened, it was said that Xue Renguo and Zong Luohu were discussing a big matter, and suddenly someone came to report in a panic, saying that it was, the emperor, crying!

Xue Renguo was stunned, his father had been dead for a while, but he had been in the morgue all the time, and he had not yet been buried, how could he come back to life?

"But my father has come back to life?" After Xue Renguo asked, he couldn't wait to slap himself, he was about to dry up a fish, how could he come back to life.

"No, today's routine is to clean the body of the Emperor Dragon, but I found that tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his expression was sad!" The palace man asked tremblingly.

"But the water splashed up?"

"I didn't pour water on it."

"Forget it, forget it, I'll go and see it myself!" Xue Renguo hurried to the other palace, where his father was mortuary, and saw a group of people chattering endlessly from a distance, and their faces were ugly, like seeing a ghost.

Xue Renguo was still jealous of his father, so he walked to the coffin with courage, looked at it, and the preservation was not bad, lifelike when he was seriously ill before his death, and then looked at his eyelids, he didn't move, where there was a little water mark.

Xue Renguo's face turned gloomy, and his appearance was even uglier than his father's, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who found out first?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, all silent, Xue Renguo was even more annoyed, pointed at these people and said: "Don't you say that you take good care of the emperor, you even go so far as to confuse the people and make up these nonsense to deceive people!" Cut off their tongues and put them to death! ”

Everyone was frightened, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy, but Xue Renguo was willing to listen, and immediately took these people down with a wave of his hand. Before the newcomer arrived, the hall was deserted, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and there was a cry in his ears, Xue Renguo was so cold that he hugged his shoulders and looked around, but he didn't dare to look at his father again.

There were words in his mouth: "Father, I know that you are complaining about me, you scolded me for my bad temperament before I was born, and sooner or later ruined Xiqin." But how did my father know that these ministers, soldiers and civilians were all slippery and tricky, and they didn't need torture, how could they be convinced? ”

The crying seemed to be louder, Xue Renguo couldn't help covering his ears, and said loudly: "Okay, okay, when I defeat Li Shimin, I will definitely be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people when I come back." Father, don't cry, you can't scare your sons to death! ”

After speaking, Xue Renguo staggered out, the air was cold, but there was no trace of wind, let alone the so-called crying, and he was puzzled.

As for whether Xue Ju hated his son or not, it is unknown, maybe he was guilty of not leading by example and teaching a good son.

Indeed, it was impossible not to stop fighting, because after two days of hard work, another 20,000 soldiers escaped, and many people took advantage of the chaos to flee and never looked back.

In the early morning of this day, Xue Renguo ordered 120,000 soldiers and horses to officially attack Gaojaw.

Knowing the news that Tanma came back, Li Shimin also made defensive preparations, these days, although there was no big movement, but the soldiers were not idle, raising the city wall, preparing arrows and rolling stones and other fortifications.

"King Qin, the last general is willing to fight with him!" Li Shuliang excitedly stepped forward to ask for help.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Li Shimin waved his hand again and said: "It's still mainly on defense, consuming the opponent's strength, no matter what, you can't take the initiative to attack." ”

"King Qin, Xue Renguo is passively attacking, and the army's morale is unstable, even if he doesn't go out of the city to face the battle, he should set up an ambush to frustrate his spirit." Dou Rail hummed.

"This place is mostly plain, where is the ambush? If it is surrounded and suppressed by hundreds of thousands of troops, the gains outweigh the losses! Li Shimin sank his face, everyone knew his domineering temperament, and believed in his military talent, so they all kept their mouths shut.

A few days later, Xue Renguo arrived as promised, and he didn't stop, and immediately called for battle, but Zong Luohu scolded below, and the city gate was closed, but he didn't see half a person coming out of it.

What shrunken turtles, brainless puppets, and Zong Luohu scolded everything, but according to Li Shimin's orders, no one was allowed to act rashly, not even to fight back.

Zong Luo retreated with a wobble in his head, and said inexplicably: "I don't know what idea Li Shimin has in mind, he can't stick to such an insult!" ”

"Hmph, he's just scared of me last time!" Xue Renguo rolled up his sleeves and said confidently: "Let me scold him a few words!" ”

"Holy Lord, you can't do such a shame-damaging thing with your golden body. If it really doesn't work, we will forcibly attack the city, our army is equal in strength to Li Shimin, and there is a chance of victory! Zong Rahu suggested.

"Only by killing its generals in front of the battle can it show its military might and boost morale. Do not attack unless absolutely necessary. Xue Renguo said that he stepped forward on the horse, raised his face and scolded loudly, the sound was like thunder!

"Li Shimin, white-faced child, I heard that you have a habit of breaking sleeves, so you will only have a son when you are nearly twenty years old!" After Xue Renguo finished speaking, the army laughed.

Xue Renguo seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and scolded again: "Everyone who knows thinks it's your son, but it's actually your princess Qin, who secretly climbed onto my dragon bed in the middle of the night, begging me to be lucky for her, just to ask for a son and cover up for her husband!" ”

Similar unbearable words came from time to time, Li Shimin's face was like water, and he was engrossed in studying the map, and everyone else couldn't listen to it, and he couldn't cover his ears, and he had to keep a close eye on the movements outside.

Xue Renguo scolded for a long time, and the scolding became more and more ugly, and then it was simply a general, unbearable. However, Li Shimin did not react, so he had to give up, and ordered to attack the city immediately.

Hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed like a tidal wave, and at the same time, a group of people carried huge trees and slammed into the city walls, shaking the ground and trembling.

The Tang army resisted this to the death, and the overwhelming number of arrows shot at Xue Renguo's army, focusing on the direction of the city gate, and countless soldiers fell to the ground in response. Although some soldiers were hit by arrows, it was not enough to kill, but Xue Renguo was a little impatient, and ordered the army not to hesitate, and rushed over when he stepped on the bodies of these people, and many of them died at the feet of his own people for a while.

Due to the heavy firepower of both sides, the losses were not small after a day and a night.

Counting the number of people in the evening, Xue Renguo lost a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, and Li Shimin's side also had more than 10,000.

"King Qin, if you continue to stalemate like this, you can't preserve your strength." Dou Liang looked anxious, such a hard battle, the physical exertion of the soldiers was also very amazing.

Li Shimin nodded, he should indeed think of another way to find a big breakthrough. (To be continued......)
