"Thanks for the reminder!" Li Shimin was not afraid of chaos and gave up his hand at that person.
Yuan Ziyan was even more ashamed, to say a word of conscience, she was really thinking about Li Shimin's health at that time, she was already very difficult to climb halfway, and she would definitely be tired when she reached the top of the mountain, not to mention that she had to hike down the mountain again, there was no ropeway in that era.
Yuan Ziyan walked down the mountain without saying anything, no matter how Li Shimin persuaded him, he didn't look back, and in the end, Li Shimin also lost his temper and walked faster than Yuan Ziyan.
The two went out together with a smile, but when they came back, they were one after the other, both with angry faces. But no one takes this seriously, everyone is used to it, and the two quarrel and turn their faces faster than the sky, maybe one day it will be better again.
After another day of rest, Li Shimin led everyone to the last city that had not been conquered, and the reason why he did not attack immediately was because Li Shimin felt that at the end of the crossbow, these people would surrender sooner or later.
However, during the days of staying in Zhang Nanbao, he did not receive Jiexiu's surrender, and no people came there, which made Li Shimin feel a little unhappy, and felt that Wei Chigong was too not to be promoted, so he went in person, and if he did not surrender, he would attack the city with all his might.
At this time, there were only about 3,000 soldiers and horses at best, and the rest followed Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and others, and those who stayed to defend the city were Wei Chigong and Xunxiang.
Because of the importance of talents, Jiexiu has been surrounded by the Tang army, and no one has attacked it, waiting for the people inside to be unable to stand it and take the initiative to come out and surrender.
"How many days have you been trapped in the city?" Li Shimin came to Jiexiu City and asked.
"Five days!"
Li Shimin nodded slightly. There was no food in the city for a long time, and five days was enough to make the people inside hungry.
Li Shimin sent someone to shout, which meant disarming and surrendering. will be treated leniently, resist strictly, and the end will be dead. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a burly man appeared on the city wall, with a brown face, eyes as wide as bells, and a half-tattered sheepskin jacket in his hand. I don't know why I use it.
This person was Wei Chigong, and he shouted disdainfully: "Li Shimin, I advise you not to waste any more energy!" I, Wei Chi, respectfully admire you, King Qin, is brave and invincible. Now I'm willing to gamble and lose, but as long as I'm here, I'll coexist with Jiexiu! ”
"General Wei Chi, I have admired you for a long time. If you can help. Share the wealth! Li Shimin said simply, and Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but be a little angry when he heard it, because there was no sincerity in these words at all, and it was obvious that he had dealt with things.
Wei Chigong really didn't appreciate it, and bit the sheepskin jacket hard, Yuan Ziyan was surprised to find that it turned out that Wei Chigong had survived by this for the past few days, and he was secretly surprised in his heart.
"I, Wei Chi Gong, was originally a blacksmith. Earn some money to support your family. It's just that the world is in turmoil, and officials protect each other. Even my shop was robbed, the hungry old lady was blind, and my wife was sick and weak, and she couldn't conceive a child for many years. I thought that I would survive in such a muddy situation in this life, and then I met Liu Wuzhou and repeatedly carried it, so that I had a bright future. Wei Chigong smiled and bit his sheepskin jacket again, chewing it so much that Li Shimin felt a little disgusted: "It's delicious, I don't know how much better it is than the days of wandering and begging on the streets!" ”
Li Shimin nodded slightly, this Wei Chi Gong stuck to the camp, was loyal, affectionate and righteous, and really made Li Shimin change his opinion of him a lot, and said politely: "General, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang abandoned you, why do you ......?"
"It's so noisy! I am very lacking, go down and rest, you are willing to attack and defend, listen to you! Wei Chigong waved his hand aggressively, and then went down the city tower and disappeared.
"This person toasts and doesn't eat and drink, King Qin, I am willing to lead 5,000 troops to capture Captain Chi Gong alive! When the time comes, whether to surrender or behead, it's up to you to decide! "Cheng Yanjin really can't get used to seeing Wei Chi Gong's bear-like, arrogant fart, nothing, gnawing on a sheepskin jacket, and not afraid of knocking out his big teeth!
"Bite the gold, don't be angry, Wei Chigong also has his arrogance, first he was ruined by his master, and then he lost his self-confidence, and now he has become very confused. In fact, in my opinion, Wei Chigong still has the intention of surrendering, otherwise he would not have talked so much to the people. Yuan Ziyan analyzed.
"He's a tough guy with a gun and a stick, and I don't hear a word of surrender." Cheng Yanjin said disdainfully.
"Let me ask you, what would you do if Liu Wuzhou was right in front of you at this time?" Yuan Ziyan asked with a smile.
"Split it in half with an axe, of course!" Cheng Yanjin gestured angrily.
"What about me?"
"Hehe, Ziyan is not joking, how could I hurt you!" Cheng Yanjin laughed.
"That's right, if Wei Chigong didn't have the slightest affection for Shimin, but really regarded him as a fierce enemy, he wouldn't have said so much. It seems to be tough, but in fact, this is the time when his psychological defense line is the weakest, if someone can properly give him a step down, Wei Chigong will not hold out for too long, and Datang will have another good general. Yuan Ziyan said.
Good! Li Shimin immediately asked, "Who is willing to go into the city to negotiate with Wei Chigong!" ”
"Me!" Cheng Yanjin immediately raised his hand and said.
Li Shimin glanced at it, didn't answer, and looked around again, Cheng Yanjin leaned forward and came to Li Shimin, Li Shimin pulled away disdainfully, and said: "I'm afraid that if you don't speculate, your big axe will split people in half!" ”
"The minister is willing to go, and he is willing to accept and surrender to Chi Gong for the King of Qin with his three-inch tongue!"
At this time, one person came out and said, it was Yu Wenshi, Yu Wenhua's third brother, the husband of Princess Nanyang, and Yang Guang's ex-son-in-law. Doesn't it sound like a bit chaotic, but in fact, it was like this in that era, people kept swapping roles, in order to survive, but also to achieve their ambitions.
After Yu Wenshi and the Tang Dynasty, although he was courteous to Li Yuan, but under the influence of his eldest brother Yu Wenhua, he still suffered a lot of white eyes, and his backbone was about to be poked out.
Therefore, Yu Wenshi was eager to make meritorious service and wanted to prove by his actions that he was absolutely loyal to Datang. Therefore, Yu Wenshi took the initiative to follow the King of Qin to pacify Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, and was named the Duke of Xincheng County by Li Yuan, and was also a hussar general under the command of King Qin.
And Yu Wenshi and himself were born in a famous family, they have been involved in the group since childhood, they are quite talented, and their heads are very clever, Li Shimin thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement, and at the same time said: "The general's courage is commendable, and the people admire it." You can bring 1,000 elite soldiers into the city to persuade you to surrender! ”
Yu Wenshi immediately kowtowed and thanked him, and said sincerely: "King Qin's concern for the safety of Weichen is really moving. But how could Wei Chi Gong let a thousand elite soldiers enter the city, and the ministers could be alone, if they returned after two hours, they would definitely let Yu Chi Gong take the initiative to surrender. If I don't go back, the bones of Weichen collected by King Qin will be buried in the south of the Nanyang Princess Temple, and I can also die blindly. ”
As mentioned earlier, Princess Nanyang saw through the world and refused to reunite with Yu Wenshi and Broken Mirror to become a nun, but I didn't expect that he was still thinking about his wife for so long, but he was also an infatuated man.
This kind of poignant love story is the easiest to touch the hearts of young people, and one of them is like this, he was so moved that he stepped forward and said: "King Qin, the last general is willing to be General Yuwen's bodyguard, and swear to protect General Yuwen's life!" ”
The one who spoke was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, who was also somewhat similar to Li Shimin between his eyebrows, and was Li Yuan's cousin, Li Daozong, the king of Rencheng. Li Daozong liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and Li Shimin was not only his brother, but also the person he admired the most, so he has been following Li Shimin since he was fifteen years old.
Li Daozong does not like to study, only loves to practice martial arts, and his studies are wasted, but his martial arts are good, and this time he has made a lot of contributions to the conquest of the rebels of Liu and Song.
Li Shimin was worried about the safety of Yu Wenshi, and when he saw that this little brother understood the righteousness, he immediately made a happy decision, because one Li Daozong could be worth more than 100 elite soldiers.
Yu Wenshi and some excuses, it was difficult to let the king of Ren Cheng take risks, but Li Daozong was close to whoever he liked, and he made up his mind to follow him into the city.
Since he was going to enter the city, of course, he had to show sincerity, and the little military rations left in General Li Shimin were concentrated on a small cart. In order to enter the play, Li Daozong also changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and had to pull Yu Wenshi and also sit on the high cart, and he pushed it in, so that it seemed more real!
Of course, Yu Wenshi and of course refused, how could there be any reason to let King Ren Cheng push himself, but in order to save time, Li Shimin also agreed, so he had to reluctantly sit on it. The car was full of food, and it was uncomfortable to sit on, and finally it was nested in a gap, with all fours facing the sky, looking a little funny.
When they arrived at the city gate, the two were immediately intercepted by the guards, and then escorted to the city, where they were never seen again.
not only has his father's favored ministers, but also his own clan brother, and the two have not come out for a long time, which makes Li Shimin somewhat uneasy, and he keeps pacing in place.
"Don't worry, Shimin, they will definitely have no problem!"
Yuan Ziyan once saw this description in the history books, which said that the two persuaded Wei Chigong to surrender, a very simple and smooth thing, and there would be no mistakes.
Two hours later, the gates finally opened again, and it was the same car, the same two people. But the coachman was replaced by Yu Wenshiji, and there was a person lying on the cart, looking dressed like Li Daozong, but he was straight and motionless.
Everyone panicked, could it be that Wei Chigong was really embarrassed and beat people to death?
is not dead, Li Daozong is still alive, I don't know how many times he was beaten by Wei Chigong, and he couldn't move his whole body in pain, the worst thing was that he had eyes, and he was still bleeding down, wouldn't he be blind?
"Brother, I haven't married yet, so I can't be disabled!" Li Daozong said with tears in one eye.
Li Shimin promised that he would be cured, and then immediately called a military doctor for a detailed examination, and the final conclusion was reassuring, the eyeball could be saved, that is, it was possible that the range of vision would be reduced. In other words, it used to be able to see 180 degrees, but now it has become 12, and there is a blind spot. (To be continued......)
