When Li Shimin chased after him, what appeared in front of him was a Qin army that had been heavily guarded and a strict battle, although the number was small, but from each of them, you could see the kind of elite edge after a hundred battles, Li Shimin sighed, and ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

He himself turned his horse's head around and galloped away the way he came. However, he was blocked by some of his soldiers, "Your Highness, it's just a small county town, a small number of infantry, we just need to kill them and kill them without leaving a piece of armor, and then enter the city and capture that Xue Rengao alive!" "These cavalrymen are not as disciplined as Li Shimin's original subordinates in the first place, and they are blinded by the merits in front of them, and they can't see the danger that follows, and some generals also don't understand why Li Shimin did this, but unlike ordinary soldiers, the generals know that Li Shimin's orders are forbidden, disciplined, and the punishment for soldiers who violate discipline is very heavy, so they have reprimanded them one after another, ordering their respective soldiers to return to their respective positions, and finally appeased the feelings of these soldiers. According to Li Shimin's order, he quickly evacuated here. The speed of the cavalry came and went like the wind, and it soon disappeared in the eyes of those Qin soldiers who were waiting to fight in formation......

However, it was said that Xue Rengao led his defeated army into the city, only to see a middle-aged Confucian scholar slowly walk up to him and say, "Is the young general safe and sound?" Seeing the comer, Xue Rengao was also stunned: "Chu Liang, aren't you by your father's side?" Why is it here. Chu Liang's face was calm when he heard this, and he was not angry because of the rudeness in Xue Rengao's words: "When the marshal heard that the opponent of the major general this time was Li Shimin, the second son of Li Yuan, who was the same young hero as the major general, he was worried that the major general might be in danger of defeat this time, so he ordered us to closely watch the situation of the battle on the side of the major general. Now that the marshal is observing the enemy's shape from the city wall, the major general asks me to go up to the city with me and meet the marshal. Xue Rengao suddenly realized that the Qin army that came out of the city gate was not his father's personal guard? He silently followed Chu Liang to the city wall, and what appeared in front of him was an extremely majestic back, which was his father, the current overlord of Western Qin, Xue Ju.

Xue Ju's tall figure and burly appearance, not only brave, but also martial arts are extremely high, his family wealth is huge but can be a corporal, a wide range of heroes, in Longxi is very popular, although his son Xue Rengao is not inferior to his father in bravery, but if you talk about the amount of wisdom and tolerance, it is far worse than Xue Ju, Xue Rengao is dry and cruel, for the enemy who has surrendered, many punishments, and for the soldiers are not compensated, for this, Xue Ju has already warned: Your wisdom and courage are enough to inherit my career, However, your character is too harsh and you are not generous, and our family will eventually overthrow because of you. However, Xue Rengao is conceited and brave after all, even if his father's admonition often rings in his ears, he still goes his own way and does not know how to change. It's just that this time the defeat was lost, Xue Rengao felt that he had no face to face his father, so he unconsciously felt afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to go to Xue Ju's approach.

Hearing the footsteps, Xue Ju of course knew that Chu Liang and Xue Rengao had also gone up to the city wall, but he didn't turn around, but just watched the movements of the Tang army outside the city with his eyes, until the sound of the other party's Mingjin retreating came, and the other party quickly retreated like a tide, he turned to look at Xue Rengao, but with a wave of his right hand, he pointed to a general in the cavalry outside the city: "Who is that person?" Xue Rengao looked at the place where his father was pointing, and suddenly showed resentment: "He is Li Shimin, Li Yuan's second son." Regarding the resentment revealed by Xue Rengao, Xue Ju's face did not show any expression, he just sighed, and then asked Chu Liang: "What does Gong Chu think about this person?" "Li Shimin is a terrible opponent!" Chu Liang said unequivocally between his words: "After defeating the young marshal, he dared to ride a light horse deep into my realm for hundreds of miles to catch up, and when he encountered our army, he found it difficult to defeat and immediately evacuated, this person's temperament is undoubtedly the same as the tiger wolf, Liang is terrified in his heart, this person is really the enemy of the lord!" ”

Hearing what Chu Liang said, Xue Ju did not get angry, but laughed out loud. The true colors of a generation of heroes are undoubtedly revealed. "What Qing said is that when I didn't get into trouble, I also traveled all over the world, watching all the heroes, even Dou Jiande and Li Mi's generation in my opinion, it is just like this, I didn't expect it, it is really the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, Li Yuan, the rat generation, gave birth to Li Shimin such a tiger, it can be seen that the things in the world, how can it be as expected. Hahahaha, isn't it because of this that this world is so eye-catching, let me strive for it! Chu Liang had already fallen to the ground, "The ambition of the lord is really unattainable for Liang." Xue Ju smiled again, as if unintentionally, and said: "If I surrender to Li Shimin at this time, what do you say?" ......" At this time, not only Chu Liang was taken aback, but even Xue Rengao, who was silent on the side, couldn't help but cry out: "Why did my father say this!! ”

Xue Ju smiled slightly but didn't explain, but turned around and walked down the wall. How can the wisdom of the heroes be understood by the corrupt and reckless! While Xue Ju walked proudly in his heart, a trace of loss also slowly rose in his heart: It's a pity that although his eldest son is brave, he is stupid and ignorant of strategy, once he is unexpected, how can he resist the more heroic Li Shimin, whose talent is not enough to inherit his career? If it is a last resort, then surrender can only be the only way out of necessity, if not? Xue Ju's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of fierceness, in that case, he would definitely kill Li Shimin as soon as possible, and strangle him before this war genius had fully grown up......

Li Shimin knew that the cavalry siege was his own short attack on the enemy's length, and he was afraid that the army of Western Qin would be surrounded on all sides and besiege himself, so he immediately retreated and led the army back to Fufeng. At this time, all the Tang army arrived successively, Liu Shirang, Dou Rail, Liu Hongji, etc. were all people who knew the soldiers, Li Shimin then wrote a letter to Li Yuan to Chang'an, in addition to reporting the victory, but also described in detail the course of the battle, at the end, Li Shimin also emphasized that according to the information collected in the Western Qin area, Xue Ju itself is an extremely difficult opponent to deal with, because of his corporal Lixian, a large number of officials of the original Sui Dynasty including Chu Liang and Hao Yuan gathered around him, plus Xue Rengao, Zong Luohu and other fierce generals Assisted, Xue Ju's Western Qin forces had already threatened Guanzhong. The letter was sent to Chang'an, and then handed over to Li Yuan.

Chang'an, Tang Wangfu.

Li Yuan read Li Shimin's letter, and after thinking for a while, he handed the letter to Pei Lin beside him: "Erlang said in the letter, Xue Ju is a person, but it is not easy to deal with, as an old friend, you have to help me ponder." Do we have to change our original strategic plan of starting with the east and then the west?" did not have any fear because of Li Yuan's status at this time, just like the appearance of a friend in the past, Pei Lin took the letterhead handed over by Li Yuan, looked at it slowly, and put down the letter for a while, revealing a smile that thought he understood: "Shimin, this child, he is young and ambitious, and he thinks that Xue Ju is difficult to deal with when he fights Xue Ju very hard, let's think about it, he is only twenty years old, and he is still a child." Even if you are talented in war, how can you catch up with those generals in the army, if you want me to say, now the leading generals in the west are not less, it is better to transfer the people back to the east to support the prince (Li Jiancheng), you must know that this Luoyang, the east and west capitals fall into my hands, and this world is not the old brother's bag? ”

Pei Lian's words, Li Yuan was also moved when he heard this, after all, although he won Guanzhong, according to the two places of Central and Taiyuan, Li Yuan can only be said to be the most powerful one among the anti-kings of all roads, and he is still far from the ultimate goal of dominating the world, but if he can take advantage of the sharp spirit of Guanzhong in one fell swoop and defeat Luoyang one after another, Li Valve at that time will be the undisputed calmer of troubled times, and Li Yuan himself will naturally be able to leave aside Yang Guang, the god who is still in Jianghuai, and ascend the throne as emperor......

Thinking of the bright prospects at that time, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little fluttering in his heart: "You are still right." With Liu Shirang and Dou Liang staring at them, what can the war in the west be tight, but it is the eastern capital, which needs to be held by us as much as possible. Hey, Shimin, this kid has been competitive since he was a child, this is exactly what I have always been worried about, transfer him to Da Lang's command, let him go to learn from the eldest brother, it's good to ......" That's it, about the powerful letterhead of Xue Ju, the enemy of the Western Qin Dynasty that Li Shimin emphasized, was put aside by two people and ignored it, and the person concerned never expected that at this moment, the trajectory of history has undergone some subtle changes - at this moment, the butterfly gently flapped its wings.
