Li Shimin also noticed this adjutant general, and also heard that it was under his best efforts that Xue Renguo made up his mind to surrender in just half a day, and saved the lives of many soldiers without a lot of hard work.
"Let's talk about it, what should Xue Renguo and the others do?" Li Shimin asked seriously.
Xue Renguo breathed a sigh of relief, his fate was still a little alive in the hands of his own people, so he looked at this deputy general with anticipation.
The deputy general walked forward slowly, and after giving Li Shimin a big gift, he said sadly: "His Royal Highness King Qin, in the eyes of the villain, Xue Renguo deserves ten thousand deaths, and he should die of cramps and flesh and corpses!" ”
Xue Renguo was shocked, and then scolded: "You ruthless and unrighteous villain, you eat the king, but you say such disloyal words, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?" ”
"You are the one who deserves the damnation!" The adjutant turned his head viciously, his eyes were blood-red, he grabbed Xue Renguo's hair, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "All the men in my family were captured by you as soldiers, and they were either dead or disabled, but have you ever been rewarded?" ”
"Even if it's my negligence, I don't treat you well! High-ranking officials, yes, yes, I also gave you two beautiful women to enjoy, you should always remember, right? Xue Renguo said again.
Bah! The deputy general spat on Xue Renguo's face, and laughed at himself: "It's because of my cowardice and greed that I didn't follow Liang Hulang, I don't want to just think about this thought, but I pity my son, but I was suffocated and died in front of my eyes by your arrow in the throat!" ”
Yes! The deputy general was very excited, and slammed his fist at Xue Renguo's face, and Xue Renguo was tied. Unsteady on his feet, he fell to the ground on his back, and the lieutenant simply rode on top of him. The iron fist came one after another, and it beat Xue Renguo so that his mouth was crooked, and his seven orifices were bleeding.
Li Shimin motioned to pull him away, and the deputy general wept bitterly and knelt in front of Li Shimin: "King Qin, Xue Renguo is a cruel person, and there are countless unjust souls in his hands. Not killing is not enough to calm the anger of the people! The villain would rather die, but beg the king of Qin to give this person death! ”
Li Shimin got up suddenly and said, "Take the initiative to surrender." should not have been killed at will, but Xue Renguo has committed many crimes, and people and gods are angry, and it is difficult for Datang to tolerate this person in the world. Continue to plague all beings! ”
"King Qin is wise!" The adjutant general cried bitterly. Can't help yourself. Seeing Jiao'er's tragic death, but he had to hide this huge sorrow in his heart, and he had to serve the enemy every day, if it wasn't for the death faith of avenging his son, it would be difficult for ordinary people to do this.
"You're going to be even." Li Shimin personally helped this person up, and said solemnly: "The stakes are very high, and it is necessary to play the Ming Sheng, and let him decide." If the Holy One also means this. You are the one who put them to death that day! ”
Zong Luohu was confused. But the two men understood, and immediately shouted, "Why do I want to die!" I'm just at the mercy of someone! ”
It's just that no one answered his question, and the two people whose lives were about to come to an end were brought back to Chang'an, and Li Yuan was also extremely disgusted with Xue Renguo, and immediately executed him and punished the nine clans.
After a great victory, and also got the vast west, the whole country rejoiced, and for several days of rushing to fight, the soldiers were tired. Li Shimin announced that he would rest on the spot for a day, and then the class teacher would return to the court.
Some people questioned why not take a few days of rest and enjoy the scenery here, since they won, this is a rare opportunity. Li Shimin didn't answer this, Yuan Ziyan seemed to have an understanding, and after dinner, he took the initiative to come to Li Shimin's camp and asked with a smile: "It's a full moon today, can you enjoy your face and watch the moon together?" ”
Li Shimin nodded with a smile, and then followed Yuan Ziyan to stroll leisurely in Xue Renguo's palace.
"Shimin, you really impress me to be able to win in such a short time this time." Yuan Ziyan said sincerely.
Li Shimin smiled and asked rhetorically: "Why, was I very unbearable in your heart before?" ”
"That's not it, you probably think that you are a very perfect person, you shouldn't have any flaws, but you don't like it everywhere." Yuan Ziyan said truthfully.
"Perfect?" Li Shimin was quite surprised, his eyes completed two crescents, and his facial lines became much softer, looking exceptionally handsome.
The two didn't talk much, and it seemed that their hearts were getting closer, and before returning to the room, Yuan Ziyan finally couldn't help it and asked, "Shimin, with your original idea, you wanted to fight a protracted battle, why did you change your mind later?" ”
"Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent, isn't this ending also very good now?" Li Shimin said with a smile.
"You haven't answered me yet."
Li Shimin was silent for a moment, thinking, silly girl, do you still need to ask, I am anxious about you, I don't want to see you disappointed and sad, and I don't want to let you look cold. It's just that there is still a Li Mi between Li Shimin and Yuan Ziyan, these words are still not said after all, Li Shimin smiled slightly, and said: "Your strategy is very good, it is better to fight beautifully like this than to consume it for a long time." ”
"That's all?" Yuan Ziyan could not hide a trace of loneliness.
"Otherwise?" Li Shimin smiled faintly, turned around and went back. It's just that the two of them didn't sleep well at night, each thinking about their own thoughts, and being honest with each other, it turned out that it was really not easy.
At noon on the second day, Li Shimin sent people to garrison Qinzhou and other places, while he reorganized his troops and horses and rushed to Chang'an.
From a distance, he saw Li Yuan personally leading hundreds of civil and military officials out of the palace for ten miles to greet him, Li Shimin did not dare to slack off, hurriedly jumped off the horse, galloped away, kowtowed and bowed: "Father, how can the son-in-law and the emperor go out of the city to greet him!" ”
"I'm going to get up!" Li Yuan happily helped Li Shimin up and praised: "Originally, my father was very worried and was about to reinforce him, but he didn't want my son to suddenly spread the good news, I was ecstatic, I haven't slept well for the past few days!" ”
"In this way, it is the fault of the son!" After Li Shimin finished speaking, the father and son laughed, and the ministers also came over to congratulate him.
"Second brother, there is labor!" Li Jiancheng was full of unwillingness and stepped forward to congratulate him.
"Brother knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin solemnly saluted Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng was stunned, quickly helped him up, and asked with a smile: "Second brother, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Prince, the second brother was reckless and thoughtful in the past. And now that the territory of Datang is expanding, the number of rites cannot be abolished. Li Shimin explained.
"Hehe, it's just outside, in private, you and I are still brothers." Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction, which was tantamount to acquiescing to Li Shimin's public salute.
"No wonder the second brother didn't take me on the expedition, it turned out that he wanted to swallow this great credit alone!" Li Yuanji said without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The fourth brother laughed. Li Shimin didn't intend to waste much tongue on him, turned his face coldly, and told Li Yuan in detail about the process of the battle.
Li Yuan was happy to hear this, and even pulled Li Shimin to ride the dragon chariot back to the palace with him, of course Li Shimin didn't dare to hold it up, and insisted on riding a horse to accompany the king.
Of course, Li Shimin also said that it was Yuan Ziyan who made the decisive suggestion this time, and Li Yuan just nodded and did not speak to Yuan Ziyan. Because in Li Yuan's opinion, the more powerful the character, the more vigilant she is, and it is good to dispel her arrogance from time to time.
Yuan Ziyan didn't care, anyway, she was used to being left out in the cold, looking around, she didn't see Li Mi's shadow, and it was not easy to find someone to inquire. After returning to the palace, he immediately called Yuzhu to inquire, only to learn that half a month ago, Li Mi led 50,000 soldiers and horses out of the customs, and these 50,000 soldiers and horses did not include the people he brought before, all of them were unfamiliar faces.
However, Li Mi also took Yang Gao away according to Yuan Ziyan's intentions.
Hearing this news, Yuan Ziyan felt a little relieved, with Yang Gao's taboo, presumably Li Mi would not do anything too radical. As for Li Jiancheng's specific actions and where he was ambushed, Yuan Ziyan did not know.
sent someone to invite Wei Zheng, but not only did they not invite him, but they also did not bring any words. The situation is obvious, Wei Zheng's current identity is very sensitive, and it is not appropriate to move around too closely with Yuan Ziyan, and he will not easily tell Wei Zheng about the prince's top-secret actions. After all, Wei Zheng and Li Mi used to have a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Yuan Ziyan has no idea, if he helps Li Mi, how can he help?
Naturally, there was a big feast in the evening, and the monarchs and ministers gathered together, drinking and watching the dance, and they were very happy. Yuan Ziyan's mind was not here, she always looked out the window blankly, and during the banquet, Li Yuan also praised her verbally and rewarded her with some gold, silver and jewelry, but there was no official position or substantive reward.
The rest of the people didn't have much doubt about this, after all, it was an era of male superiority and inferiority, women were raised by their fathers at home, and they relied on men when they became monks, and they were too unseemly. And if you can rely on your own ability to get some gold and silver, it is a very good thing.
There was nothing to do overnight, and the next morning, Li Yuan still highly appreciated this matter, because Li Shimin was already the identity of the prince, he couldn't add any more, so he gave a new palace, and the specifications were only one size smaller than the prince's mansion. However, the location was very close to the emperor's bedroom, and Li Yuan meant that it would be convenient to communicate with the father and son.
Li Shimin thanked him, and then said: "Father, the sons and daughters have more than they have paid, and they are often uneasy in their hearts. Today, I feel full of energy, and I hope that my father will agree, and let his sons bring another 50,000 soldiers and horses to find Xing Guogong, so as to gather the heroes of Wagang to return to Tang as soon as possible. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Ziyan's heart set off a huge wave, his nose was sore, and his eyes immediately turned red. It turns out that Li Shimin is used to hiding everything in his heart and doesn't like to confess, if he didn't pay attention to Yuan Ziyan, how could he take tens of thousands of soldiers and horses out of the customs and adventure?
"Shimin, I have just returned from the war, this matter is not urgent, and the rest of the people can go." Li Yuan was happy, but he was still worried about his son's health, although he was young, he couldn't work so hard. (To be continued......)
