The men of the Xue family have no humanity, and the women are not far behind in this regard, and the whole person is brutal - there is simply no species to compare, because she is a demon herself. Xue Ju's wife has nothing to do after eating and drinking all day, but she doesn't know how to read books and practice calligraphy, so that she can add a little connotation, but she has nothing to do with the people around her to relieve her boredom, and if she doesn't agree with her, she buries the lower half of her body in the soil, so that people can't resist, and then tortures people to death.

is such a brutal family, but for a while, God favored them and let them become the leaders of a group of people, enjoying all the glory and wealth.

……

After Xue Ju won the battle, the leaders of the surrounding departments threw themselves into his door, especially Zhong Lishu, the chief of the Qiang people in Minshan, led 20,000 troops to surrender, Xue Ju's troops were greatly boosted, and his strength was placed in front of the world, plus Xue Ju let his son Xue Rengao attack Fufeng (now Fengxiang, Shaanxi), this man's brain is also good, and he got the local peasant army Tang Bi, and the entire army has 130,000 people.

Historical records: There is all the land of Longxi, and there are 130,000.

According to this strength, the Xue family attacked the capital Chang'an, which was more than enough. This is a mortal enemy for Li Yuan, who has already proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, and he arranged for Li Shimin to take eight governors to crusade against this powerful army, but he did not know whether the war could be won or not, because the opponent was too strong. If he can't win, Chang'an, the base he occupied first, will fall into the hands of the Xue family, and it will be unknown where he will go.

It will be a fierce battle, and in this case, he chooses to trust his second son, Li Shimin. He believed that he had the ability to turn the tide and make the Li family invincible in the chess game for the world.

Li Shimin, a young man in his twenties, is very confident, believing that he is a brilliant chess player who can win this dangerous game.

How a great emperor like Li Shimin was refined must have stemmed from his self-confidence, wisdom and bravery.

In June of the first year of Wude (618), Xue Ju personally led his army to attack Jingzhou (now Jingchuanbei, Gansu), and the main army advanced in the direction of Gaoqi (now Changwubei, Shaanxi), and on the northeast and southwest flanks, he sent mobile cavalry to attack Beidi and Fufeng two counties.

On July 4, Li Shimin led his troops to Gaoqi, but he didn't know if he had eaten expired food and suddenly fell ill with dysentery. At that time, I didn't have the miracle medicine for dysentery and diarrhea, so I fell ill and didn't have the strength to command my subordinates to fight. So, he ordered the marching commander Shi Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan to replace the commander. He recuperated at the station, waiting for the damn dysentery to heal.

Although Li Shimin had an uncomfortable stomach, his mind was very clear, and he said to the people who commanded for him: "The Xue army came from afar, and the grain and grass were obviously insufficient. ”

Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan took Li Shimin's words as a deaf ear, and came out of his tent, Liu Wenjing said: "The king of Qin looks down on us too much, and is afraid that we will not be able to command, so he is sick and cannot command, so he will not move for the time being." ”

Yin Kaishan echoed: "Then we will give King Qin a surprise and defeat Xue Ju." ”

……

The two brothers were very confident, did not listen to Li Shimin's suggestion, and took it upon themselves to privately hold a military parade outside the city to achieve the goal of deterring the enemy army.
