Chapter 191: Heaven's Destiny Blessing
Tan Zong entered Li Shimin's bedroom for nearly two hours, and Tang Jiang outside the house waited from the sun to the west. Tan Zong came out of Li Shimin's bedroom, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and arched his hand towards the generals outside the house: "Generals, fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has now woken up, and instructed me to invite a few generals in to discuss matters!" ”
"Hahaha, His Royal Highness King Qin is really blessed by the heavens, and there is a miracle doctor like the master who rejuvenates him at a critical juncture!"
When Wei Chigong heard this, he immediately laughed out loud, and took the lead in striding into Li Shimin's bedroom. Several other Tang generals also showed joy on their faces, and followed Yu Chigong in.
In the bedroom, Li Shimin was reclining on the bed, his originally pale face was also a little bloody at this time, Yu Chigong, Gao Xianzhi and others couldn't help but thank Tan Zong who came in at the end, and Guo Zhiyun also expressed his apologies to Tan Zong for his suspicion of Tan Zong because of his caution. Tan Zong is a generous person, and he didn't blame Guo Zhiyun at all, but kindly guided Guo Zhiyun to some loopholes in his martial arts, which made Guo Zhiyun feel quite profitable.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Li Shimin coughed lightly a few times, interrupted the conversation of the generals in the room, and immediately turned his head to ask Gao Xianzhi: "General Gao, have you counted the casualties in this battle?" ”
As soon as he heard Li Shimin ask, the generals who were originally a little happy because he escaped death lowered their heads one after another, and Gao Xianzhi, who was named, replied: "Back to Your Highness, our army has lost nearly a thousand Xuanjia iron horsemen in this battle, General Hou Junji was killed by Chang Mao, the son of Sui General Chang Yuchun, in order to cover His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness King Zhao was also injured. ”
"Why, is it just a defeat that makes you so depressed?"
Looking at the depressed Tang generals in the room, although Li Shimin was also quite distressed about the more than 1,000 elites who died in battle, but in order to boost morale, he still restrained his emotions, put on a kind smile, and said lightly: "Although our army suffered a lot of losses in this battle, but Lone was able to be rescued by Master Tanzong when his life was hanging by a thread, and Xuanba also saved his life at the most critical time because the enemy general lost his horse. But sooner or later, one day they will be defeated under the iron hooves of our Datang. ”
"Your Highness is right!"
Gao Xianzhi and Guo Zhiyun are smart people, and they saw Li Shimin's intentions at a glance, and immediately nodded in agreement. Wei Chigong, Pei Xingyan, Li Junxian and others didn't have such far-reaching eyes, but when they saw Gao Xianzhi and Guo Zhiyun nodding in agreement, they felt that what Li Shimin said did seem to have some truth, and they all nodded their heads in a matter-of-fact manner. For a while, the atmosphere in the whole room began to come alive again.
Tan Zong, who was walking at the end, saw that Li Shimin encouraged many generals who were originally depressed in a few words, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Li Shimin's eyes became firm.
Seeing that the mood of the generals had improved somewhat, Li Shimin coughed lightly twice and said in a deep voice: "Although we have the blessing of the destiny of heaven, but now we have indeed lost for a while, and our morale must be low. ”
Gao Xianzhi nodded and said, "What His Highness said is extremely true! It's just that now that the Sui army is strong, it is still a little difficult to defeat the Sui army at this time. According to the last general, it is better to wait until General Li Siyuan leads the main cavalry to arrive. ”
"Revenge is not overnight, overnight is not a hero!"
Li Shimin said categorically: "The Xuanjia Iron Riders under the lonely hands are all tough and good men, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and this sentence does not apply to them. What's more, the Sui army has won a game now, with Xue Rengui's ability, he will inevitably seize the opportunity to take advantage of the victory to march, if Lone can't seize the time to win the Sui army, I'm afraid that if Li Siyuan's reinforcements arrive, the Tiger Prison Pass will be lost! ”
Gao Xianzhi frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness does have some truth in what he said, but... ”
Seeing this, Li Shimin smiled indifferently, and said confidently: "General Gao doesn't have to worry, Gu has already thought of a plan to break the Sui army." ”
Gao Xianzhi and the rest of the generals in the house were all overjoyed when they heard this, most of these generals from Guan Long and Bingzhou were all competitive people, and they couldn't wait to ask Li Shimin together: "What is Your Highness's plan?" ”
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth hooked slightly, and said: "After a while, you immediately sent a messenger to meet Xue Rengui, and said that he had died after being hit by an arrow, and you felt that it was difficult to stop the Sui army and was willing to surrender." ”
"Your Highness, isn't it planning to make Xue Rengui or his generals enter the customs, and then ambush them in one fell swoop?"
Gao Xianzhi said with some concern: "Your Highness, please forgive the last general for being rude. According to the last general's opinion, Xue Rengui is a veteran soldier, and he is afraid that this plan will not be able to hide from him, but will be used by him and take the opportunity to seize the Tiger Prison Pass. ”
"You are all the most loyal and brave soldiers in my Tang Dynasty, even if you die alone, you will definitely fight with the Sui army to the end. Lone is convinced of this, and presumably Xue Rengui will think so, so this deception is just a set of tricks to hide Xue Rengui! ”
Li Shimin's eyes flashed with light, and he said in a deep voice: "General Gao, you are alone in your life, you will immediately light up two thousand elites, with you as the main general, Pei Xingyan and Guo Zhiyun as the two generals, and then kill them when it is completely dark!" ”
Gao Xianzhi heard that his mouth looked big, and he said in surprise: "Your Highness wants to attack the camp at night?" ”
Li Shimin nodded heavily, and said: "Yes, at the moment, the Sui army is in full swing, and the so-called urging the front is in Zhengrui, and turning the tide in the position, attacking the camp at this moment is the best way to hit the morale of the Sui army, but Xue Rengui has a good way of using his troops, and the camp must be very well guarded." If you hand over this letter of submission, he will inevitably think the same as General Gao, thinking that our army is trying to win him into the army, and he will relax his vigilance tonight. ”
After listening to Li Shimin's narration, Gao Xianzhi pondered it carefully and said in a deep voice: "Although Your Highness's plan has an element of risk, it is indeed feasible. General Li Siyuan led tens of thousands of elite cavalry, unlike us, we are afraid that we will be blocked and harassed by the Sui army in Luoyang City, and we don't know when we will be able to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass. If you want to defend the Tiger Prison now, this risk is worth taking! ”
"Second brother, second brother, are you going to go out of the customs to fight with the Sui army again? I'll go too, I must share the victory and defeat with Gao Pet and Chang Mao! ”
Just as Li Shimin and Gao Xianzhi were talking, a seemingly thin figure hurriedly broke in, but it was a few Tang generals who heard Tanzong say that Li Shimin was no longer in trouble, so they sent someone to invite Li Xuanba over.
As soon as Li Xuanba arrived at the door, he heard the conversation between Li Shimin and Gao Xianzhi, and when he arrived, he was full of fighting spirit, and today he was attacked by Gao Zhong and Chang Mao and suffered a big loss, and this breath made him unable to swallow it no matter what.
