Zhu Cang's soldiers were directly frightened by literature and art, Zhu Cang died, and the 20,000 soldiers under his command immediately ran around, not daring to stay in the camp again, for fear that the angry King Kong would kill him again. Flying King Kong, is that a human? That's the true God! Datang has the blessing of the true gods, who would dare to attack? There are also 300,000 coalition troops, and people can all be slapped to death.

The news of Zhu Cang's killing quickly spread throughout the coalition army as the soldiers fled, all saying that Datang was blessed by the gods, and attacking Datang now was looking for death! The non-commissioned officers of the coalition army were panicked, their morale plummeted, and they no longer had the high spirits they had when they defeated Li Yuanji. Wang Xuanying hurriedly ordered the soldiers not to spread this rumor again, saying that there could be no flying immortals, and even if there were, they would be crushed into ashes by their 300,000 allied troops! Then there are those who bewitch the hearts of the army! He also asked the coalition forces to speed up their march and be sure to rush to the city of Chang'an in three days.

Li Shimin's side was full of laughter, and those who exchanged their heads for money were even more proud. After dinner, it was already dark, and all the heroes gathered around to brag, and those who received the reward stood on the stools and boasted to the heroes who gathered around them how good they were, and they listened to one of them: "Brother, I have learned some chickens and dogs since I was a child, and that night I and three brothers were about to go in and assassinate a captain, but out of the camp came a general with a torch, with a red tasseled helmet on his head, and wearing a gold-swallowing beast-faced chain armor. Our brother hurriedly lay down in the grass to hide, and the general was unlucky, and actually went to me to pee, at that time, my brother and I used the earth escape technique in the technique of chicken crowing and dog thieves, and my body was covered with weeds, and I lay down with bated breath and waited for the general to pee when he was happy, and stabbed him in the waist with his right hand, and covered his mouth with his left hand, and the guy did not make a sound until he died. Brother brought him back, do you know how much reward Master Fang gave? Everyone shook their heads, and the man slapped his thigh and said, "Who would have thought that the general would be the vanguard general under Dou Jiande!" Master Fang gave fifty taels of silver! After that, he also took out two silver ingots with white flowers and displayed them to everyone.

The man wanted to continue bragging, but suddenly a black shadow fell from the sky and landed next to him, and he almost fell down due to the strong wind caused by the huge impact. As soon as he opened his eyes to take a closer look, he saw a black thing flying towards him. Hurriedly caught it, and when I looked closely, it was a human head.

At this time, I heard a voice: "Take this head to Lord Fang, and tell him to prepare enough wine for the brothers to drink!" After saying that, he rose directly into the sky and disappeared.

The man is holding a human head, what's the situation? Heading from the sky? What about the man? Flown away? How can people fly? Am I dreaming? Countless question marks popped up in his mind, and he was very confused. But he still understands the matter of exchanging heads for rewards, since he can't figure it out, he goes to ask Master Fang, who is kind and easy to talk to.

Calling his friends around, he hurried to Fang's tent. When he came to the door, he reported: "The villain Wang just asked to see Lord Fang." ”

After a while, Fang Xuanling's voice came from inside: "Wang Daxia, come in." ”

"Hero" is now a popular phrase, but whenever a ranger meets him, he will clench his fist with his right hand, and make a palm with his left hand to salute the rivers and lakes, and call each other: "It turned out to be a certain hero, and he looked up for a long time." "Fang Xuanling has also learned a lot, as long as the rangers who come to receive the reward will be called heroes, so that many rangers are walking in and floating out.

As soon as Wang entered the room, he put the head on the table and said, "Lord Fang, I was chatting, and suddenly a person flew down from the sky, and he couldn't see his face in iron armor. ”

Fang Xuanling said incredulously: "Fly? How can it be! It will be a trick used by any of you rangers. The official will see whose head is enough for the official to invite the brothers to drink. After speaking, he turned his head to his face, and his face showed a cautious expression. Tsai looked at it carefully for a while, and then said solemnly to Wang Gang: "You take this human head and enter the city with this museum, if it is true, this official invites you to drink good wine for a day and a night!" ”

Wang Gang trembled his two front teeth and hurriedly hugged the human head tightly in his arms, needless to say, this must be the head of an important person in the coalition army. It was probably one of the hundred taels of gold. With a look of ecstasy on his face, he followed behind Fang Xuanling, and peeked around with his head poked at the probe, his form was extremely obscene.

The two came to the Qin Palace, sent people in to inform Li Shimin that there was important news to report. Li Shimin heard the report from the porter, a harrier turned over and jumped out of bed, and hurriedly walked to the living room without wearing clothes. Before he even entered the door, he shouted, "What's the matter?" Tell the king quickly. ”

Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, tonight there is a mysterious person who calls himself 'Angry Hair King Kong' and gave this human head to Wang Gang. It is suspected that Zhu Cang, the king of Garuda, is not sure, so he has come to report to His Royal Highness. ”

Li Shimin was surprised and delighted, pulled his head from Wang Gang's arms and looked at it several times, and finally grinned: "This thief!" The king knows him! This thief has killed countless people, and his brutality is comparable to that of a man, and he can't imagine that he died so cleanly, but it's a pity, if he is caught, he will pick up his skin, cramp, and crush his bones and ashes! ”

As if thinking of something, he asked, "Who did you just say?" Angry King Kong? Tell the king what is going on. ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Wang Gang, Wang Gang was a little timid when he first saw Li Shimin, but now the two bigwigs were staring at him, so they had to bite the bullet and tell the matter of how to get the head in detail.

After listening to this, Li Shimin touched his chin and thought carefully: "Angry King Kong is Zhang Guanglin's nickname, he is now my personal guard, he has always followed me and never left, and this show of fists and legs, how can he kill Zhu Cang?" By the way, he is a friend of literature and art, this should be done by literature and art, and only he has such ability. ”

After thinking about it, he spoke: "I don't know if there are any requirements for this great achievement of the Angry Hair Vajra?" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a strange face: "Yes, he asked his subordinates to invite all the heroes to drink." ”

Li Shimin laughed out loud and said: "Well, yes, our bounty is one hundred taels of gold, since he doesn't want gold but wine, this king will definitely satisfy him." Xuanling's matter is handed over to you, you must let all the heroes enjoy it! and the money required shall be to the king. ”

Fang Xuanling said weakly: "Obey." ”

Wang Gang listened to it on the side, and when he learned that there was wine to drink, his saliva unconsciously flowed down. But there is a pity in my heart, a hundred taels of gold, it is gone. Although he didn't have his share, this product is also distressed.

In the morning of the next day, Li Shimin dressed neatly, put his head on a lacquered red tray in his hand, covered it with red silk, and went to the Taiji Hall with the tray. After the hundred officials finished the meeting, Li Yuan saw Li Shimin holding the plate and asked curiously: "Wu'er, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said: "Father, my son has good news to report to his father today, please see what this is!" After saying that, he ripped off the red silk.

The hundred officials saw it clearly, and the bloody head was still dripping and spinning on the plate. They all showed a look of surprise, and when they were whispering, Li Shimin said again: "Father, this is the head of Zhu Cang, the king of Garuda, who was cut off by a ranger last night and dedicated to his father!" ”

When Li Yuan heard that it was Zhu Cang's head, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked the chamberlain to bring it up and take a closer look. After he confirmed his identity, he laughed and said, "God help me, let's take a look at the Qing family." After speaking, let the chamberlain show it to the hundred officials.

After waiting for the hundred officials to take a look, Li Yuan said: "Since the Eighteenth Route Anti-Thief Army came, this is the best news I have heard. At this time, the coalition forces must be panicked, can the Qin family have a proposal? ”

I saw a person walking out of the ranks of civil officials, and Prime Minister Yin Kaishan went out to play: "Your Majesty, you should take advantage of the unstable morale of the thief army to send troops to attack them." I will be able to accomplish it in one battle. ”

Cui Zhongting and others also seconded the proposal. And Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji stood there silently without saying a word. Li Yuan was also very moved, if he could crush the anti-thief alliance with one blow, he would not only be able to eliminate the current disaster, but also further weaken the strength of various forces. So he opened his mouth and asked, "What does King Qin mean?" ”

Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "Father, Du Fuwei, Dou Jiande, Wang Xuanying and others are not ordinary people, and they will not mess up because of Zhu Cang's death, and it is extremely risky to send troops now." ”

Li Yuan nodded and asked, "What does Pei Aiqing think?" ”

Pei Lin came out of the class and said: "Weichen thinks that although there are many anti-thieves, they are not subordinate to each other, and there is no cooperation, they are all fighting on their own, and they should take this opportunity to break them one by one. Besides, how can I let the thieves come to the city? Won't it make the world laugh? ”

Li Shimin is not like other ministers who regard the anti-thieves as pigs and dogs, after all, how can there be garbage that can create a foundation in troubled times? All of them are heroes. hurriedly retorted: "Although the thieves are not subordinate to each other, there are 300,000 soldiers, and our army can only use 80,000 soldiers, counting the Chang'an defenders barely 120,000. If there are few people who go to raid, there will be no return, and the men and horses will be lost in vain. If there are many people, you need to attack head-on, and the odds of winning are extremely low. Last time, our 100,000 troops were wiped out in a battle, let alone this time? Erchen suggested that he should stick to Chang'an, he has a large number of allied troops, the grain and grass are unsustainable, and civil strife will occur over time, and then we will send troops to raid again, and we will be able to exterminate the thieves! ”

Li Yuan didn't speak for a while, he didn't want the thieves to besiege Chang'an, and he didn't want to send troops now, after all, he was the emperor immediately, and he still understood this truth. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "This battle is arranged by the King of Qin, and since I handed over the world's soldiers and horses to the King of Qin, I will follow the order of the King of Qin." The rest of us need to cooperate as well! ”

The ministers bowed down to accept the order, and Li Shimin breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, although Li Yuan was old, he had not yet reached home. And Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were furious in their hearts, but they were helpless, who let one of them pit his brothers, and the other directly destroyed the 100,000 army, and now no one in the military is disgusted with them, walking around them, and then throwing them a white eye.

At the end of the court meeting, Li Yuan asked Zhu Cang's head to be wrapped in quicklime, made a simple embalming treatment, and hung it under the city gate for the people to see. For a time, both inside and outside Chang'an City were beaming with joy and running to tell each other.

The atmosphere in the big tent of the coalition army was depressing, and the seventeen leaders sat there with solemn faces and did not say a word for a long time. Wang Xuanying was the first to speak: "This time, all the uncles are willing to come to help the little nephew attack Li Yuan, and the little nephew is grateful, but General Zhu Cang died violently in the camp, and the little nephew is guilty. But the matter has come to this point, we should still think of a way to come out, otherwise Li Shimin's thief will definitely repeat his old tricks, so I can't wait to prevent it! ”
