Chapter 214: The Big Fight
"I'm not tired, I want to be with my husband!" Yuan Ziyan shouted, but Dou Jiande beckoned slightly, and still took Yuan Ziyan, who was fluttering around all fours, away.
Xu Maogong's brows furrowed even tighter, and he couldn't see his wife until he turned around.
"General Xu has a deep affection, which makes Dou very admired." Dou Jiande said with a smile.
"But General Dou's move seems disgraceful!" Xu Maogong said coldly.
"I don't want to be an enemy of General Xu, and I don't want to be ruined, and the soldiers will fight in blood, so I made this decision. Dou is willing to bear the infamy of a lifetime, just to be able to join hands with the general. Dou Jiande said seemingly sincerely.
"I'm here now, if I want to kill or chop, listen to it!"
Haha, Dou Jiande laughed again, ordered someone to bring wine and food, and repeatedly invited Xu Maogong to take a seat, and then he walked to the opposite side, bowed down, and said: "If General Xu is willing to focus on the common people in the world, Dou is willing to give up his position to General Xu, saddle up before and after the horse, and wait for dispatch." ”
Xu Maogong drank a glass of wine unhurriedly, unmoved, Dou Jiande can indeed be regarded as a hegemon, but by holding other people's wives hostage to achieve his own goals, his heart is dark and twisted enough.
Seeing that Xu Maogong didn't talk or look at him, Dou Jiande was overly hypocritical and a little embarrassed, so he got up without a few words, sat down next to Xu Maogong, and said: "Since the general hasn't thought it through, I will send someone to send the general back to Liyang early tomorrow morning." ”
Xu Maogong was stunned, he never expected Dou Jiande to say this, but after thinking about it, he understood that Dou Jiande would let himself go back. But he will never let Yuan Ziyan go back. In other words, as long as he does not surrender sincerely, then Dou Jiande will always treat Yuan Ziyan as a hostage.
Xu Maogong sullenly drank two more glasses of wine alone. No matter how Dou Jiande persuaded him, there were very few words. Dou Jiande didn't force it, and early the next morning, he really kept his word and gave Xu Maogong a lot of money and a war horse and hundreds of soldiers, and asked him to return to Liyang.
At this time, Yuan Ziyan was placed under house arrest, and there were people inside and outside the house. It's very polite, but when it comes to the sky, no one is willing to let her out. Yuan Ziyan was indispensable for falling and beating. It has been offered with good food and drink, and things have not progressed.
When I woke up the next morning, it was almost noon, and I slept too late last night. So much so that I overslept today.
The first thing Yuan Ziyan did when he woke up was, of course, to inquire about Xu Maogong's whereabouts. In fact, this is not a secret, and the next person told her that Xu Maogong had returned to Liyang safely in the morning.
Went back? Yuan Ziyan knew what was going on as soon as his brain turned, hey, he was too impulsive and hurt Xu Maogong. Such a strong person had to succumb to Dou Jiande's hands, how unwilling he was in his heart. But as long as Xu Maogong can go out, he will find a chance to leave. Get rid of Dou Jiande's clutches as soon as possible.
There was chaos, and at this time, Chang'an also ushered in two refuge teams. One is naturally Xu Maogong's, led by Cheng Yanjin at this time, and rushed to Chang'an for help.
The other is Yuwen Chengji and Yuwen Shiji. Hey? Weren't they arrested by Dou Jiande and Wang Bo together, why did they run away to Chang'an instead?
It turned out that because of Li Tang or Wang Bo, there was an extremely fierce conflict between Yu Culture and the interior. When he came to the gate of Qizhou, he thought of Wang Bo's name, and finally determined that this place must be a place of great evil, but I am afraid that there will be no return.
Therefore, in front of the city, he gave some advice to his father and younger brother, but Yu Wenhua would rather be a fugitive emperor than surrender to his former opponent Li Yuan, and insisted on going to Qizhou.
Yuwen Seungji thought that he had already supported his father far away, and it was time for him to make his own choice, so he broke up with his father. Yu Wenhua was furious, saying that he no longer recognized his son, but for the safety of Yuwen Chengji, he still gave him 1,000 soldiers and horses to use for the defense of the road.
Yuwen Seungji solemnly bid farewell to his father with tears, and then went to the west, Yu Wenhua and the wind stopped, looking at his son's back, leaving sad tears, for the first time he felt so desolate in his heart, and this was also the last time they saw each other.
However, in a hurry, it wasn't until I entered the city that I found that there was one less member of the family at some point, and that was the third brother Yu Wenshi. Yu Wenshi was unwilling to be in the company of Wang Bo and others, and after thinking twice, he still took the opportunity to leave the team and chased after his nephew.
The uncle and nephew moved towards their goal, both at the time and in the long run, it was the wisest choice.
Yuwen Chengji and the others were one step earlier, and were cordially received by Li Yuan in the main hall, Yuwen Chengji is a talent, and has a skill, standing next to his sons, he is not inferior at all, and he loves it.
Yu Wenshi is alert and good at compliments, Li Yuan does not reject him, worships him as a superior instrument, and follows Li Yuanji to fight.
For Li Shimin, the last two words are particularly harsh, this Li Yuanji has no learning and no skills, and he is raising a group of minions in the palace all day long to inquire about all kinds of news, how can this kind of person lead troops to fight? It's just that because he offended his father and the crown prince, the current Li Shimin is almost hollowed out, and he has become an idler, unable to go out, and even more unwilling to stay in a family that is kind on the surface, but in fact intrigues.
After receiving the two generals, Li Yuan was very happy, and was about to hold a big feast, and there were many happy events, Cheng Yanjin and others took Liyang soldiers and horses to turn back the same way, this time it can be regarded as washing away suspicions, and finally it is a formal refuge.
Li Yuan laughed, and Xuan Cheng bit Jin and the others entered the hall.
Everyone bowed with courtesy, all of them were strong and burly, there was no shortage of such a handsome person as Qin Qiong, Li Yuan kept smiling happily, and he didn't notice the tears in the corners of his eyes.
Li Yuan was thinking about what position to give to everyone, but Cheng Yanjin hurriedly gave up his hand and spoke: "Your Majesty, please send troops to Qizhou quickly to rescue Xu Maogong and his wife!" ”
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Where are the two of you now?" ”
Cheng Biting Jin sighed heavily, and then said the general meaning, Yuan Ziyan was captured alive in order to take off Yuwen Chengji's head, and Xu Maogong couldn't bear to send his wife to death and was forced to take refuge.
"Yuwen Chengji is above the court, how can he be beheaded?" Cheng Yanjin said it too quickly, and Li Yuan didn't understand it.
Hearing this, Cheng Biting Jin was annoyed, and unceremoniously stepped forward and grabbed Yuwen Chengji's collar: "It turns out that you are Yuwen Chengji!" If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be like this! ”
"How's Purple Smoke now?" Yuwen Chengji hurriedly asked.
"What else, being captured alive by Dou Jiande, life and death are uncertain!" Cheng Biting Jin glared at his blood-red eyes and said, "If this is not the case, how could Xu Maogong surrender without a fight?" ”
"Humph!"
Suddenly, there was a sneer behind him, and it was the crown prince Li Jiancheng who made the voice: "I said that Xu Maogong pretended to surrender, and he had just been rewarded by my Tang Dynasty, and he rebelled so quickly." ”
"Who are you?!" Cheng Yanjin heard someone say bad things about Xu Maogong, and let go of Yuwen Chengji unhappily and asked.
"Bold, dare to point fingers at the current prince!" Li Yuanji stepped forward and scolded.
"Who am I, it turns out that you are Li Jiancheng. Qizhou was in an emergency, Brother Xu wrote to ask for reinforcements, but you only gave 20,000 old and weak soldiers, which was not only useless, but dragged down the trip. Otherwise, how could I go one step too late and let my sister-in-law be caught! Luo Shixin was young in the end, and the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, so he blushed and questioned Li Jiancheng.
Li Jiancheng was very embarrassed, and he didn't take this prince in his eyes at all! He said coldly: "Do you know that you have committed a capital crime?" ”
"What, you hurt my eldest brother and want to kill me? There's a kind of you! Luo Shixin stared at him and walked towards Li Jiancheng quickly.
Qin Qiong saw that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly stopped Luo Shixin, but in the conflict with Li Yuanji, she still kicked the other party twice while she was unprepared, anyway, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were both oops, they should have been recruited.
"Why did Ziyan lead the troops to Qizhou?" Yuwen Seungji also shouted loudly behind him.
"It's not because you're in danger!" Cheng Yanjin rolled up his sleeves in annoyance, quarreled with Li Jiancheng, and did not forget to sarcastically mock Li Jiancheng again.
Soon, these young talents were furious, scuffled together, and scolded in their mouths, Li Jiancheng didn't care about the image of the prince, jumped and jumped, and kept insulting Xu Maogong, Li Mi and others.
Cheng Yanjin and Luo Shixin were extremely impulsive, and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji couldn't stand the grievances, and the two sides soon fought. Behind him, Yuwen Chengji has been asking what the situation is in Qizhou, how is his father, and what are his brothers and uncles?
Yuwen Shiji also came over and asked how his son Yuwen Zen Master and his daughter-in-law Princess Nanyang were.
The people in the house were full of voices and fights, Li Yuan shouted several times but did not stop, and had no choice but to send guards to step forward and pull these people away. However, just pulled away, the two sides fought again.
Li Shimin, who had been calmly watching the battle, saw an excellent opportunity, the Wagang generals had a deep hatred for Li Jiancheng, and they would definitely not use it, so most of these people would be their own in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin's heart suddenly became excited, and he also joined the melee, but instead of shooting, he was beaten, blocking Cheng Biting Jin's fist for Li Jiancheng, and also protecting Li Yuanji's fist and kick for Qin Qiong.
"Everyone listens to me, it's important to save people at this time, don't fight again!" Li Shimin said loudly.
Sure enough, everyone stopped, looking untidy and messy, everyone snorted angrily, but according to the injury, Li Shimin was more serious, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but everyone present secretly praised his loyalty.
Li Yuan looked at the group of young people in the audience, and felt like he couldn't cry or laugh, but fortunately, most of them were temperamental, and they came to vote sincerely, so he didn't blame him, and asked: "Biting gold, what is the current situation in Qizhou?" (To be continued......)
