Standing on the tower of the city, the Yin Shishi did not see the rushing soldiers and horses, but first saw a huge cloud of yellow smoke and dust raised high, like a majestic and boundless mountain, pouring over at a very fast speed. He stood still in place, this scene had been conceived countless times in his heart as early as the beginning of the siege of the Tang army, but it was only sooner or later, he smiled bitterly and closed his eyes hopelessly.

Wei Wensheng was over seventy years old and seven years old, panting and climbing up the city tower, looking at the situation in front of him, his hands and feet were suddenly completely devoid of blood and blood, and he trembled coldly. At one time, there were scouts to report, Changle Palace, the army stationed in the east of the city also attacked at the same time, the city defense at the moat has been lost, and the five hundred defenders have been slaughtered, and now they are rushing towards the main city tower.

Wei Wensheng gritted his teeth, couldn't continue in one breath, and fell straight back, and the entourage of the soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, so that the back of his head hit the ground. Yin Shishi turned his head and glanced at him a few times, looking at this situation, there was no need to wait for the Tang army to come and kill, he was already angry, so he said calmly: "Wei Shangshu is too old to participate in the war, so you will send him back to his house in the city." ”

The pro-soldiers took the order and left, and the Yin Shishi took a big breath several times, although he was defeated, he still had to fight. He shouted to the crossbowmen, and formed two formations at the battlements. A few days ago, in order to shoot down Kong Ming's lantern, the arrows were greatly damaged, and he had to order people to carry all the last arrows up the city tower, and repeatedly ordered the crossbowmen to strive for the arrows to be missed.

The boulders and logs had been prepared earlier, and they were also waiting solemnly on the castle tower at this time. The city tower was busy coming and going, preparing to meet the enemy, and dozens of merchants came to the city tower at some point, led dozens of domestic servants each, carried large wine vats, and beckoned the soldiers to come and drink.

Most of the generals recognized that the Hu merchant who was the leader was Kang Saburo, the owner of the largest liquor shop in the city, so no one stopped him, so they only sent soldiers to the city tower to inform the Yin Shishi, saying that a merchant had sent wine before the battle. Before the battle, it was very common to drink and strengthen the courage, and the Yin World Master did not stop him, and he should say "I know" and go with them.

Kang Saburo personally unveiled the wine jars, the wine was fragrant, he picked up a bowl and sent it to a general who was familiar with him, "General Meng Wang does not give up, often patronizes my small wine shop, now the war is imminent, there is not much strength to come out, only a little thin wine to give, and it is not in vain that we know each other in the wine." ”

That Wang Lang will love wine every day, and when Kang Sanlang is generous and chivalrous, he directly recognizes Kang Sankang as an acquaintance and often invites him to drink. At this time, when he heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel sour, took the wine bowl in his hand, and choked slightly, "Don't hide it from San Lang, after this battle, let's probably say goodbye." With that, he raised his hand and raised his head, and poured a bowl full of wine syrup into his stomach.

The rest of the soldiers had all drunk wine, and the wine moved their bowels, thinking that they might not live for long, and they all burst into tears, some of them missed the old and the young, and some of them regretted it.

Kang Saburo took the opportunity to be indignant and said: "What does the fight for power have to do with us? It is clear that they can't hold it anymore, but they still have to forcibly recruit people to fill in the knife head and tear apart the wives, just for their wealth and glory. To put it mildly, even on the road, no relatives are allowed to send one. Today, I, Kang Saburo, should be your relatives, and I brought wine to practice for you. As he spoke, he leaned over and scooped up a large bowl of wine and held it high, "Come! Let's have another bowl and leave it at that. ”

He threw his head up and drank heavily, almost half-spilled. All the soldiers will raise their bowls and drink them all in one gulp, and one by one they will smash the bowls to the ground.

The soldiers didn't know which one it was, and suddenly shouted, "The Great Sui has already collapsed, why did you drag us to the funeral!" ”

"I have a wife and a little mother, if I can't go back, who will feed them? Aren't you waiting to starve to death? Someone shouted again.

"Which royal relatives and nobles have taken care of our lives and deaths, don't fill in their lives for them!"

……

The soldiers had no intention of fighting, but this time, they threw down their swords one after another, made a riot, and were unwilling to go into battle. There were generals over there who realized that the situation was not good, and when they were about to come forward to round up the leader and throw down the blade, and Kang Saburo, who was stirring up trouble, it was too late. The earth-shattering shouts and killings outside the city were overwhelming, and the city tower had not yet been completely arranged, and the noisy shouts were chaotic.

Na Lang will no longer have time to take care of Kang Saburo and them, and lead his soldiers to hurry up the castle tower. When he ran up to the city tower, he suddenly remembered that the Hu merchant who had led the rebellion by sending the wine before the battle, and suddenly woke up, fearing that he was going to rebel against the soldiers guarding the city gate, and answered from the city, he secretly snorted badly, turned around and stood still, quickly pulled the bow in his hand, and condescendingly aimed at the head of the Sogdian Hu merchant in the crowd on the city tower, tightened the bowstring, and shot an arrow.

When Kang Saburo heard that the Tang army had arrived, he stepped up his lobbying to guard the city gate, and noticed that a fatal stray arrow was coming straight towards his head. When he saw the arrow, it had already been blocked by the Divine Spirit, and it fell straight to the ground. Kang Saburo was so frightened that he jumped away, looked up in horror at the person who was going to save him, looked at his eyebrows very familiarly, and was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and shouted, "Yinghua." ”

Yinghua didn't have time to respond to him, grabbed a bow, turned around and reflected an arrow, and the Lang general who placed the dark arrow on the battlements in the middle saw him shake a few times, and then disappeared behind the city wall.

"Brothers, the Duke of Tang led the righteous army, and after entering the city, he will never kill and rob indiscriminately, and every household will have enough to eat!" Someone in the "Sui Army" led by Yinghua shouted loudly.

Hunger had spread inside and outside the city for a long time, and when they heard that there was enough to eat, the crowd became excited again.

"Open the city to welcome the Tang Army, open the warehouse and eat a full meal!" Before the film was released, the slogans sounded in unison, and everyone moved the huge and heavy door bolt with all their hands, and dozens of people slowly opened the city gate.

When the city gate opened, the black and shiny sweaty horse, carrying the domineering Li Shimin, rushed into the city first, and almost no one dared to resist. With a loud shout from the city tower, covered in blood, the red-eyed Yin Shi Shi screamed and rushed down the city tower and rushed towards Li Shimin.

The Yin Shishi has been blocking and killing on the city tower for a long time, and he has been exhausted, only to realize that the city gate is not broken by anyone, but the soldiers who taught the city to defend it to open it by themselves, he knows that the army's heart has been dispersed, this battle should be over, and his life should finally be here.

When he confronted Li Shimin for a while, his eyes stared at the young and vigorous Li Shimin for a long time, and he couldn't help but think of when he was also in high spirits, he broke Tuguhun and the party, and the domineering momentum was the same as the young man in front of him.

"General Yin I is heroic, and I should also think about it, Yang Guang is extravagant and immoral, and after years of war, how can the people make a living. My father and son are not trying to usurp the throne when they bring troops into the city today, but only to support the new emperor, sweep the world, and make the people rest and recuperate and live and work in peace and contentment. Li Shimin sat on his horse and persuaded him: "Erlang was originally a junior, but he really didn't want to do anything with the general, messing up the etiquette, please focus on the overall situation, abandon the dark and turn to the light." ”

The Yin Shi Master laughed loudly, and the laughter sounded as if he had aged ten years in an instant, but it was still sonorous and powerful, "The second prince just let the horse come over, a certain horse will be a lifetime, and he has no intention of being a prisoner." With that, he raised his spear and rode his horse forward.

Everyone retreated far away, leaving only Li Shimin alone to fight. After only three or two rounds, the Yin Shishi was already exhausted, and he almost fell off the horse, Li Shimin respected his courage and couldn't bear to start again.

"The Horse Leather Shroud is the ambition of a certain life, and if I want to be a general, I will not be ashamed to die. If the second son really respects me, he will teach me to finally fight in a dignified manner, and hope that the second son will be fulfilled. When the Yin Shishi and Li Shimin got close to each other, he pleaded in a deep voice: "It's just the young son and weak daughter in my family, I beg Li Gong to let it go." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his lance and approached Li Shimin's chest, and the strength of his whole body poured towards him, and he had no intention of bringing back his body. Li Shimin was ruthless, raised his knife to each other, and deliberately taught him to leave the whole corpse, so he avoided his neck and slashed sideways, "General Yin rest assured." ”

The Yin Shishi fell off his horse in response, rolled twice on the ground, and finally lay on his back facing the sky, holding the lance tightly in one hand, with a smile on his face, and suddenly left.

Li Shimin took the white hoof, stood silently, stared at him for a long time, turned around and said loudly: "Someone!" General Yin was carried away and buried with a military salute. ”

……

The foundation of Daxing City is deep in the end. After a great war, the Duke of Tang ordered people to open a granary and distribute grain to the people. I was going to reduce the number of things so that I wouldn't lose my trust with the people. When he opened the granary, he was stunned by the sight of starvation all over the country, and every household in the city was starving, but the barn was piled up with mountains, and after counting, he knew that if the grain was sent to all parts of the country, it would resist at least three years of famine.

The people in the city and the village farmers outside the city have received enough rice and grain to last until next spring. Moreover, the Tang army really did not take half a word, strictly restrained the soldiers, and was not allowed to leave the camp at will, let alone disturb the people in the slightest. The little king in the palace also put on a dragon robe in anxiety and ascended to the throne with trepidation.

For a while, the people only thought that the world was peaceful, made up their minds, and happily prepared for the New Year that they had not seen for many years. With the arrival of the New Year's Festival, the war was suddenly stopped, whether it was Qu Tutong, who taught Liu Wenjing to fight with the Xuanjia army and retreated to the valley, or Xue Ju who was about to move in the northwest border, or even Li Mi and Wang Shichong, who fought hundreds of battles in the eastern capital of Luokou, and were inseparable. All battles are automatically avoided for the upcoming New Year.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the new year has arrived. The goose feather snow that had drifted for three days in a row finally fell on this day, the clouds in the sky receded, and the sun spread down without hesitation, warm and bright.

Yinghua and Du Ruhui have been at the gate of the city for two days in a row, and the day they said would eventually enter the city was delayed for a long time because of this heavy snowfall.

"If there is no news today, I will go out of the city and pick it up. You are guarding the house, don't run around. Du Ruhui said to Yinghua.

Yinghua pursed her lips disdainfully and replied, "Brother-in-law is still as stubborn as I used to be." After a while, she frowned again, "The snow is so deep that it can't melt for a while, and the person who sent the letter can't get through, how can my brother-in-law get there?" ”

Du Ruhui was about to answer her, but she heard her shout happily, "Look." ”

A few black dots suddenly appeared from the endless white expanse, and after looking closely, it was actually someone riding a horse with difficulty. R1152
