Chapter 57: The Defeat of the Shallow Water Plain

"You...... I can't say you ......."

Zixuan was so angry that he wanted to get off the horse, but he was hugged fiercely by Shimin, only to hear him say: "Don't say it, don't say it, the mouth has other uses besides talking." ”

After saying that, he kissed it overwhelmingly. The hot kiss tossed and turned, his dexterous tongue pried open her teeth, swallowed her sweetness domineeringly, and entangled her tongue powerfully, it was an irresistible frenzy. Zixuan only felt a buzzing in his ears, his lips were very warm, like the warm sun of summer, which made people soft from his bones, and his whole body softened inch by inch uncontrollably......

The kiss that was almost unearthly old finally ended, Zixuan's face was so red as if it was about to drip blood, and he lowered his head and asked him, "What do you like about me?" ”

Once upon a time, Ziyi asked him the same question, and he could readily tell Ziyi that he liked her beauty. As for Zixuan...... He couldn't tell what he liked about her, and it seemed difficult to sum it up in one word, so he said, "What do you like about you?" Anyway, it's like, the kind of real love you say. ”

Zixuan glanced at him, "You can't even tell what you like about me, how do you know that it's true love?" ”

Shimin stretched out his hand and gently stroked the broken hair on her sideburns, "I don't know what I like but I like it is true love, you are different from other women in my heart......"

Zixuan turned his head sideways to avoid his further intimate movements, and his heart was beating hard, "Do you know what true love is?" True love means that you have only me in your eyes and heart. You've married so many women, can you do it? ”

"Didn't you marry them before you fell in love with you? If you care about that," Shimin leaned into her ear. "I can let you have the favor of the private room to yourself."

Zixuan got goosebumps all over his body and hurriedly pushed him away. "Who...... Who is rare? That...... And what about my sister? If you want to accept me, what will she do? Don't sue me, you want us sisters to work together as a husband. This is absolutely impossible in our homeland. ”

Ziyi ...... Shimin still couldn't tell her about Ziyi, so he said, "Are you saying that if there was no problem with Ziyi, you would marry me?" ”

"When...... Of course not. Zixuan said vigilantly, "True love is to be happy with each other, if you fall in love with me, will I marry you?" I didn't fall in love with you. ”

She said she didn't love him! If it was said that the people of the world might have believed it before, but now they are beating him to death, he doesn't believe it either. Would a woman who was willing to sacrifice her life in exchange for his life not love him? So why did she do it? He's not her own father! But since she is willing to play this game of chasing me, he is happy to accompany her.

Shimin chuckled shallowly. looked at Zixuan intently and said, "It's okay, I'm waiting for you to say that you love me, crying and shouting that I won't marry!" Until then, I will never touch you. ”

"That'...... Then Second Highness, you just wait for that day. Zixuan said in his heart I won't say anything if I love you again, a stiff smile appeared on his face, but it brought out a pair of sweet and lovely dimples.

Shimin lowered his head and kissed the dimple on her side, so fast that Zixuan didn't have time to react, he had already left her face with a smile.

"You...... What are you doing? Zixuan stammered and asked.

Shimin smirked, "Didn't you ask what I liked about you?" I just love your little dimples. ”

"Huh?" Zixuan touched his face sluggishly. Anyone else who likes this? I've heard that there are people who like small feet before, but I haven't heard of people who like dimples, what kind of fetish is this? No, he just said he wouldn't touch her. Zixuan glared angrily, "But you said you wouldn't touch me?" ”

"I said I wouldn't touch you, but I didn't say I wouldn't kiss you!" The people of the world said that they were riding their horses and whipping their horses. Zixuan had to hold on to him tightly again to avoid falling......

Just when Li Shimin and Zixuan spent the moon before the moon. The Tang army, which was fighting against Xue Ju, had already begun to quietly move out, preparing to fight the Western Qin army.

Originally, Li Shimin had already given an order not to fight. But Adjutant General Yin Kaishan saw the fighter plane - the rear of the Western Qin army was empty. So he proposed to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and send a surprise army to take advantage of his rear.

Another lieutenant, Liu Wenjing, disagreed at first, saying: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin has an order not to fight. ”

"But the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again! His Royal Highness King Qin is sick, and he doesn't see me waiting, such a fighter can't be lost in vain! Yin Kaishan said.

Seeing that Liu Wenjing was silent, Yin Kaishan said again: "Lord Liu, except for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, you have the highest official position in the army, if you win this battle when the King of Qin is sick, it will naturally be your credit." By then...... Will the emperor reconsider your and Master Pei's official positions? ”

Pei Lian, the most sore place in Liu Wenjing's heart! So Liu Wenjing slapped the table, "Okay!" Just do as you say, go to war! ”

The moat of the high jaw city was slowly lowered, and the city gates were wide open. Yin Kaishan took the lead with the elite cavalry out of the city, followed by Qiu Xinggong, Li Anyuan, Liu Hongji, Murong Luohu, Lin Xingcan, Dou Rail, Tang Jian, and Chai Shao, and the eight governors of the city with their own troops, and Liu Wenjing personally led 60,000 infantry out. The Tang soldiers were like a swimming silver dragon, and after crossing the moat, they killed the Western Qin army like mercury.

And that Xue Ju was like a wolf in the wilderness, already smelling the prey. He had already ordered the Western Qin army to set up sharp wooden stakes in front of the queue to slow down the opponent's cavalry, followed by crossbowmen, shield soldiers, heavy infantry, and elite cavalry, lined up in a concave defensive surface to meet the battle.

Yin Kaishan saw that Xue Ju was prepared, and knew that a sneak attack was impossible, so he had to charge head-on instead. But when he entered the range of Xue Ju's crossbowmen, he lost the opportunity, and when the bowstring sounded, the horses were hit by arrows and kicked hard, and I don't know how many people fell. Here, Liu Wenjing commanded the eight chiefs to outflank from the side, but it had a miraculous effect, and the Western Qin army gradually couldn't resist it and retreated back one after another.

The Tang army covered the past all the way, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and it was unstoppable. I came to an open land with a flat river, the shallow water plain. At this time, shouts of killing sounded from all sides, and the Tang army entered the encirclement of the Western Qin ambush soldiers......

Li Shimin and Zixuan returned to the camp, only to see Li Jinzheng waiting at the gate of the barracks with a panicked expression. Shimin dismounted, and Li Jin ran over, "Second Highness, it's a big deal!" ”

The people of the world were shocked, "What's the matter?" ”

Li Jin said: "Lord Liu and Lord Yin led a large army to meet Xue Ju, and they were surrounded by the Western Qin army in the shallow water plain!" ”

Shimin's face froze, "It seems that this battle has been lost." ”

After a while, Shimin got the battle report: more than half of the Tang army was killed, Murong Luohu and Lin Xingcang, among the eight governors, died in the chaos, and Li Anyuan and Liu Hongji were captured. Xue Ju ordered people to collect the bones of the Tang army and build them into a high platform to show off the might of the army.

"Xue Ju old thief!" Shimin punched several cases in the big tent, and blood flowed.

Zixuan took his hand distressedly, and said while bandaging, "Second Highness, withdraw the army." As for Xue Ju, I have a way to deal with him......"

When Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan came to Li Shimin's tent with their heads drooping, Shimin suppressed his anger, "Are you back?" ”

The two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed their heads, "The crimes of their subordinates deserve death!" Regret not listening to His Highness's words, and be willing to apologize with death! ”

Shimin said: "It's the emperor's business to kill you or not, I just want to know why you don't listen to me and go to war without permission?" ”

Yin Kaishan said: "It was the subordinates who were dizzy and thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so they advocated going to war." ”

Liu Wenjing hurriedly said: "No, it was I who gave the order to fight, and I was eager to make meritorious contributions!" I want to show the emperor who has the most credit for me and Pei Lian! ”

Liu Wenjing's words made the people angry, he understood Liu Wenjing's mood, and sympathized with Liu Wenjing's situation, how could he not know that Pei Lin had made a little bit of military exploits except for slapping his beard and slapping his horse.

Shimin walked over and helped Liu Wenjing up, "Uncle Liu, please get up." ”

Liu Wenjing heard the people call him Uncle Liu Shi, and now His Royal Highness the King of Qin actually called the title before the army, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "The subordinates don't dare to be, it's the incompetence of the subordinates that has affected His Highness!" ”

Shimin said: "I can't say that, after all, I am the commander of the first army, and you have military affairs to ask me for instructions two days ago, I'm afraid it's just for the war, right?" I was already fine, but I didn't see you, and it was my fault that caused today's failure. ”

"No!" Liu Wenjing said excitedly, "This time the responsibility is borne by one of the subordinates, even if I met the emperor, my subordinates also said the same." His Highness is a victorious general, and his prestige must not be damaged because of this battle! ”

Shimin said: "How can this be done, it is my responsibility to bear it, I have made up my mind, don't say it again." ”

Rao is Shimin said so, but when he returned to Chang'an, he found that Liu Wenjing had already given the emperor a twist and take all the responsibility for the defeat of the shallow water plain. Shimin wanted to enter the palace to make it clear, but was stopped by Zixuan: "Lord Liu has already done this, if you go and say that it is your responsibility, what will the emperor think?" ”

"What do you think?" Shimin said, "Whose responsibility is whose responsibility is whose responsibility, how can I let others carry the black pot for me?" ”

Zixuan said: "The emperor will think why Lord Liu wants to carry the black pot for you?" What is the relationship between the two of you? ”

Shimin was dumbfounded, he hadn't thought about this. What would my father think? Yes, the father is no longer just a father, he is also the emperor!

In the court, Li Yuan did not blame Shimin for the failure of this shallow water plain, but also cared about whether his illness had been cured, and dismissed Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan along the river.

After the court, Pei Lin accompanied the emperor to the Linhu Hall to watch the scenery of the South China Sea, the West Sea, and the North Sea.

Li Yuan said: "Pei Lian, what do you say Liu Wenjing wants to do?" For such a big defeat, the coach has no responsibility, it was all caused by him, the lieutenant? Is he old and confused? ”

Pei Lin said: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is maintaining the image of King Qin's 'God of War' and establishing a King of Qin without stains. ”
