Chapter Seventy-Four: The Duel of the Door Gods

Zixuan was not happy, "Hey, hey, hey, why is he alone, and me!" ”

Li Jin glanced at her and continued to brush the horse, "You? It's better to have you than without you, you can only become a burden to His Second Highness! ”

"Hey, are you my brother or not? Why do you always talk to others? Zixuan ran to Li Jin and quarreled with him.

"It's your brother who educates you, learn to ride a horse, don't always make trouble for His Royal Highness!"

"Who caused trouble for him? I'm always doing him a favor, or can he take me with him as soon as he goes out? ”

"Do you think Your Highness won't fight without you? I took you because you were stupid, and I don't worry about leaving you in Chang'an! ”

"You're stupid, without me, you're still in love with Qiushi, and it's hard to say when you can marry a daughter-in-law! ……”

Shimin watched the brother and sister bickering with a smile, but a soldier came to report an urgent military situation, and Shimin went to the big tent. The soldiers were already waiting in the tent.

"What the hell is going on?" Shimin asked.

Li Jing said: "Second Highness, King Yong'an has been defeated. ”

Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, was the son of Li Yuan's fourth uncle, Li Yuan knew the importance of the battle of Taiyuan, and sent Li Xiaoji to lead Dugu Huai'en, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Tang Jian, the waiter of the internal history, to lead the troops to Xia County, echoing the troops of the people. When he arrived in Xia County, Tang Jian advocated attacking the city immediately, but Dugu Huaien thought that the siege equipment was insufficient, and the equipment should be built first and then the siege should be made. Who is Dugu Huaien? Li Yuan's uncle's son, Yang Guang and Li Yuan's cousin, how much weight he speaks! So Lee Hyo-gi adopted his advice and began to build instruments.

But on the battlefield, the soldiers are noble and fast. This delay, Lu Chongmao, who was stationed in Xia County, hurriedly asked Song Jingang for help, and Song Jingang sent two generals, Wei Chi Jingde and Xunxiang, and the two hurried to Xia County to join Lu Chongmao, so Li Xiaoji was defeated.

"What about the three generals?" Shimin asked.

The crowd bowed their heads.

"Say!" Shimin shook Li Jing's shoulders anxiously.

Li Jing said miserably: "King Yong'an was killed, and Dugu Huaien and Tang Jian were captured. ”

Shimin punched the bookcase, and the bookcase was split in half, "What a lieutenant Chi Jingde, he actually killed the king's uncle!" ”

"His grandmother's! Second Highness, let's take revenge. I Lao Cheng had to kill Wei Chi Jingde with his own hands! Cheng Biting Jin shouted.

"No!" Zixuan walked into the big tent. "Second Highness, Wei Chi Jingde is a rare brave general in the world, you can't kill him, it is the best policy to accept him for the use of the Tang Dynasty!" Zixuan thought to himself. Don't kill him. Later history will count on Wei Chi Jingde to save Li Shimin. Without him, Li Shimin doesn't know how many times he would have to die!

"That's right! If you don't kill him, you must capture him alive! "Shimin said.

Li Jing said with some concern: "But." Wei Chi Jingde is very brave, good at whipping and lance, and it is difficult to capture alive. ”

Shimin smiled: "Don't I have a strong general in Datang?" General Qin also danced a good pair! ”

Qin Qiong heard Li Shimin point to himself, and just as he also wanted to meet that Wei Chi Jingde, he said: "Second Highness, the last general is willing to go to the front and capture Wei Chi Jingde!" ”

Shimin said: "Okay, let's ambush Wei Chi Jingde here......"

Zixuan said in his heart, how interesting this battle is! The left door god is against the right door god, but it is quite interesting, and when Wei Chi Jingde surrenders, they will not have a chance to fight again. Now the door gods we post for the Spring Festival are the two fierce generals of Tang Taizong, Qin Qiong, the left door god, and the right door god is Wei Chi Jingde. This battle is the only battle fought by the two of them in history, but it's a pity that Li Shimin will never take her to the battlefield, she can't see it!

Wei Chi Jingde and Xunxiang fought a great victory, relieved the siege of Xia County, and the two happily returned to Huzhou and traveled to Meiliang River. This place is the only way to return to Huzhou, the road is narrow and difficult to walk, and it is surrounded by mountains. The two of them were laughing and talking as they walked, when suddenly a few birds fluttered and flew up quickly.

"Not good! There's an ambush here! Wei Chi Jingde shouted.

Before Xun Xiang could react, shouts had already sounded, and Tang Bing rushed down from the mountain.

One of the generals rode over and shouted, "His grandmother's! Eat your Grandpa Cheng with an axe! ”

Yu Chi Jingde raised his hand, and when he blocked Cheng Jin's axe, he pulled out the horse and ran. At this time, Qin Qiong was in the formation at a high place, looking around for the figure of Yu Chi Jingde. Unexpectedly, Yu Chi Jingde was too capable of fighting, when Qin Qiong found him, he had already rushed out of the ambush circle, Qin Qiong chased after him, and shouted loudly while chasing: "Where is Yu Chi Jingde!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde quickly whipped his horse and tried to shake off Qin Qiong, but soon found that the person who came was so good at equestrianism that he couldn't shake it off. So he turned a small hill bend, grabbed the reins, raised the whip in his left hand, and held the lance in his right hand, and gave him a whip as soon as Qin Qiong came over. I only heard the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer, and suddenly, Qin Qiong turned the corner, and Yu Chi Jingde shouted loudly, and beat the whip on his head with all his might. This whip tiger and tiger are full of wind, like a thousand pounds, respect the virtue of the heart, and see that you don't burst out of your brain!

Unexpectedly, Qin Qiong had already been on guard, and the mace in his left hand went up, and he opened the whip of Wei Chi Jingde, and the mace in his right hand swept out. Jingde shouted badly, and hurriedly blocked Qin Qiong's blow with his right hand. Both of them are born with divine powers, just listen to them! While! Two sounds resounded through the valley, and the four hooves of the war horses under the crotches of the two were unstable, and they shook to both sides.

What a powerful general! Jingde admired in his heart and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

"Qin Qiong, Qin Shubao!"

"It turned out to be you, I was thinking about meeting you for a while." Jingde Road.

Qin Qiong replied, "That's what I mean. ”

While! While! While! The two are fighting in one place again, and it is difficult to solve! At this moment, a large number of Tang soldiers surrounded him, led by one person, white armor and white robes, heroic and upright, iron armor flowing, sharp eagle eyes exuded a burst of majestic momentum, it was Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the corners of his lips hooked, and said with a smile: "General Wei Chi, you have no way out!" ”

In the first battle of Meiliangchuan, the Tang army only dispatched 3,000 cavalry, but killed more than 2,000 enemy soldiers, Xun Xiang fled with the rest of the army, Li Yuan's cousin Dugu Huaien also took advantage of the chaos to escape back, and Shimin escorted Wei Chi Jingde back to the camp.

"General Wei Chi, the so-called 'those who know practice are handsome', the Tang Dynasty's domination of the world is unstoppable, so it's better to abandon the dark and turn to the light." Shimin personally untied Wei Chi Jingde.

Wei Chi Jingde snorted: "The generals of the defeated army want to kill or chop as you like, and if you want Lao Tzu to surrender, there is no door!" ”

Shimin had to put him in prison first, but Zixuan wanted to see this generation of famous generals in person, so he asked Shimin's consent and took Li into the prison.

Zixuan took Li into the prison, saying that it was a prison, but in fact it was just a tent that was temporarily set up in the camp during the war, and Wei Chi Jingde put him in a cage inside, and he was not tied up.

Is he Wei Chi Jingde? I saw that this person was tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a face as black as the bottom of a pot, and a pair of copper bell eyes under two thick eyebrows.

"Uncle Wei Chi!" Zixuan squatted on the edge of the cage and called him.

When Wei Chi Jingde turned around, he saw that it was a little girl, "Who are you?" ”

Zixuan smiled mischievously, "My name is Yang Zixuan, and I am King Qin's advisor. ”

Wei Chi Jingde laughed when he heard this, "It is said that Li Shimin is like a god, I think he is just a hairy boy who has not dried up, and he uses a little girl to be a strategist, is it possible that he is running a family wine?" ”

"Uncle, since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, haven't you caught that hairy boy?" Zixuan blinked and said, "Moreover, uncle, you have a tendency to discriminate against women. Don't underestimate my little girl, I can pinch and calculate, even the emperor of the Tang Dynasty trusts me very much. ”

"Can you pinch it? Then I'll listen to you. Wei Chi Jingde only thinks that he is idle and has nothing to do to tease the children.

Zixuan wasn't angry, he still smiled, "Okay, I'll tell you about the hexagram I calculated recently: Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang are dying." ”

Wei Chi Jingde asked, "How did you die?" ”

"Killed by the Turks." Zixuan replied.

". The Turks supported us to fight the Tang Dynasty, how could they do such a thing? Wei Chi Jingde said disdainfully.

"You don't believe me?" Zixuan said, "When they have no use value, they will be killed." ”

Wei Chi Jingde looked at Zixuan, "Didn't Li Shimin send you, a little girl, to persuade him to surrender?" ”

"No, I was sent to bring you lunch." Zixuan called Li Jin as he spoke, and took out the wine and meat.

Wei Chi Jingde snorted: "It turns out that you want to buy me!" ”

"Uncle, do you have paranoia about being killed? Why do you always think of people so badly? Zixuan's eyes smiled into a small crescent, and two dimples bloomed on the lips, "On such a cold day, how can you keep out the cold if you don't eat?" ”

Yu Chi Jingde glanced at her and turned his head, "Don't eat!" ”

Zixuan glanced at Li Jin, "Brother, isn't it a waste if he doesn't eat such good wine and meat?" ”

Li Jin said: "Yes, this meal was not delivered, and we can't explain to His Royal Highness when we go back." ”

"Or ...... Let's eat it, anyway, His Royal Highness doesn't know. Zixuan said.

"Okay then." So the two of them sat down on the ground and feasted on the edge of the cage.

Wei Chi Jingde was already hungry, and at this moment, a burst of meat fragrance wafted in, and his stomach rumbled uncontrollably. Zixuan and Li Jin snickered behind him.

Wei Chi Jingde turned around, "Hey, didn't Li Shimin give me this wine and meat?" You have eaten, are you not afraid that he will find out and blame you? ”

"Don't you eat it! We also have no choice but to do so. Zixuan said innocently.

"Who says I don't eat? I'm afraid he's poisoned! Wei Chi Jingde glared at the copper bell with wide eyes, "Since you have both tried poison, take it in." ”

Zixuan held back a smile and handed the wine and meat in. Yu Chi Jingde picked up a chicken thigh and devoured it.

After he finished eating, Zixuan said: "Uncle Wei Chi, you are such a powerful general, why are you following two people who can't become a climate?" ”

"You're still here to persuade you to surrender." Wei Chi Jingde said.

Zixuan blinked a pair of beautiful big eyes, "How can you say that?" I'm just telling you that the two of them are dying, and you are willing to follow the two dying people, what can I do? ”
