Chapter 536: Dragon Teng (13)
Li Yuan sent troops from Jinyang, with Li Jiancheng as the vanguard, and he personally commanded the rear of the army, and the forward and rear armies were about three days apart. Since Li Jiancheng was frustrated by Pujin, Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to lead his troops to aid the Yellow River, and then led the army to retreat to Huoyi for a temporary residence. This distance
It is not far from Pujin and Jinyang, and it can support the former enemy at any time without losing anything, and it will not make the eldest son lose his face and take on military affairs, all relying on his grandmother's reputation for dealing with the aftermath. Huo Yi was originally the prince of Huo Guowen in the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the sixteenth year of the emperor's reign, Fenzhou was placed, and Yong'an belonged to it. In the eighteenth year of Kaihuang, Fenzhou was changed to Luzhou, and Yong'an was changed to Huoyi. This time, Li Yuan sent troops, broke the Sui army of 30,000 in Huoyi, and beheaded the Sui Dynasty's Huyalang general Song
Old students, the world is shaken. Not only did the children of the old family come to vote, but also made the people of Chang'an panic, and the reason why the Yin Shishi was forced to release Yujuluo was also related to this great victory.
Li Yuan regarded Huoyi as his blessed land. The soldiers are here not only because there is a lot of food and grass here, but also because they want to get a good fortune and look forward to passing on the good news again. Now that Li Shimin has been arranged to lead the troops, Li Yuan will not do anything else, so as not to lose his eldest son's face. Even after entering the city, he deliberately reduced his going out, and every day he was in the city to deal with official business, and he was no longer chatting with Pei Lian, as if he was still in Jinyang
, and never sent troops to attack Chang'an. No matter what happened to the former enemy, he never moved like a mountain, making it impossible to guess what this Tang Guogong was thinking. It wasn't until today that he finally went out of the city to line up. As the head of the Eight Pillars family, Li Yuan's pomp was already comparable to that of a prince. Now that the army has officially started, the style is even more direct to catch up with the emperor. Drums and trumpets are noisy, and flags are displayed. Thousands of armored cavalry lined up in formation, which was the honor guard of the Tang Kingdom. The armor is reflected in the sunlight,
Bright and dazzling. Li Yuan sat on the chariot, in front of the whole army. Beside him are those loyal and martial arts generals of the Li family. Hundreds of generals are dressed in brocade clothes wrapped in cloaks, and the cloaks swing in the wind like colorful auspicious clouds, putting the Tang Kingdom in prison
Prison covers it. And next to Li Yuan's chariot was his friend, Pei Lian, the supervisor of Jinyang Palace. Pei Lin was not very satisfied with today's pomp, but Li Yuan had to insist on this, so he had no way to stop it. Although he stubbornly accompanied his friends out of the city, his face was still not very good-looking. Li Yuan was smiling and sat on the carriage
, looking at the direction of Jinyang, his eyes were full of love. seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be speaking to Pei Lian: "Erlang must have suffered a lot in Mayi, and the bitter cold on the border is not a place where the family lives for a long time, and Erlang doesn't know how much weight he has lost there." When this happens, I will blame Liu Wuzhou, and see how many heads the country stick has grown, and dare to bully me
At the head of the Li family? ”
Pei Lin couldn't say much in front of these brocade generals, so he had to cough lightly: "The military situation is like fire, and the prince still needs to focus on major matters." ”
"Military affairs are important, and Erlang's affairs cannot be taken lightly. Someone has to make Liu Wuzhou understand the truth, whether he can gain a foothold in Mayi, the Turks say it's useless, it has to be my Li family who has the final say! "As the head of the Eight Pillars Country, and now he is a person who wants to send troops to win the world, it is naturally not surprising that he has this courage. If Pei Lin would have echoed it on weekdays, he would have to praise Li Yuan for his determination, but now he has a different mind. The country is lenient
Thick is a good thing, and it is precisely by relying on this character that you can win the heart of the family. However, if it is too lenient and has some children's affection, this is not the courage of the founder of the country. In Pei Lian's view, as the lord of the world, he can't treat everyone equally, let alone consider his flesh and blood. No matter how many grievances Li Shimin has suffered in Mayi, or how much credit he has made, he can only suppress and not praise him at this time. Not Lee
Shimin didn't give Pei Lin face before, which made him feel resentful, in fact, Pei Lin had a better opinion of Li Shimin than Li Jiancheng in his heart, but he had to sacrifice this Erlang for the sake of the Li family's great cause. Li Shimin has a tenacious and resolute temperament and has the heart of the army, and he can hold a knife in the mouth of the evil tiger, and he has the demeanor of a general. If such a person is a general, he will naturally have nothing to say, but as the second son of the Li family, if he is allowed to establish a meritorious career and obtain martial arts, Da Lang only
I'm afraid it's not good to be a man. Li Jiancheng is desperate to be a pioneer this time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to get rid of this second brother. The fire in the East Palace in the past, in the final analysis, was it not caused by weak trunks and strong branches? The lessons of the past are here, and future generations should take precautions and should not repeat the mistakes of the past. Li Yuan, as the head of the Li family, should be able to see the hidden dangers here, and he should have suppressed Erlang and Yang Dalang from this time to ensure that Li Jiancheng's position was stable in the future. This time, Li Shimin was Li Jiancheng's auxiliary minister, and it was also clear that the two positions were clear, so that everyone knew in their hearts. This would have been a good thing, but Li Yuan led Huo Yi's elite soldiers out of the city to meet Er
Lang, but he ruined most of his hard work. Now the generals in the city know that although Guogong loves Da Lang, he also takes general care of Erlang, and the two brothers do not distinguish between each other. Even if Erlang is the deputy of Da Lang this time, it is not a matter of brotherhood, but this still can't tell the difference, and it will go on for a long time
I'm afraid there will be a big mess between the two brothers in the future! Pei Lin glanced at Li Yuan, and saw that he was still smiling, and said in his heart that the prince at this time was only afraid that his mind was on the reunion of father and son, and he was afraid that his thoughts about his son were still concerned about the military affairs of the former enemy. No matter how much I advise, it's useless, so I have to do it
Try to teach Li Shimin some lessons. It is too unwise and unnecessary to directly attack Li Shimin, so he can only start from the people around him. That Xu Le is a good candidate.
At this time, a scout hit Ma Rufei and reported to Li Yuanyu: "Erlang and Xuanjia are three miles away!" ”
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Let them come quickly!" Today, Li Yuan not only put forward a guard of honor to greet Li Shimin, but also sent scouts to deliver orders back and forth, probing the distance between his son's team and himself, and reporting to himself at any time, and the thoughts of missing his son are self-evident. If it weren't for the identity body
I'm afraid I have to drive the chariot to the front to pick it up. When Pei Lin heard the word Xuanjia riding, Xu Le's appearance immediately appeared in his mind. Erlang really loves this Le Langjun, and even takes him with him when he sees his father, as if he has been treated as his own person, and it is appropriate to start with him from now on
。
He smiled at Li Yuan: "This Xuanjia rider is Xu Le's horse, this son is quite brave, if he is under the command of Da Lang, he must be a good helper." "Allocating the fighting generals that Li Shimin deliberately befriended to Li Jiancheng for scheduling is understandable from the overall situation, but it is not a light and heavy blow to Li Shimin. Let him not forget that he will always be a brother, and his brother is the son of the family and the future head of the family, the Li family
Sooner or later, everything will belong to Li Jiancheng. As long as the head of the family has an order, the Li family has to obediently obey, and their own wealth, land and even supporting the family will be presented to the head of the family, which is the difference between respect and inferiority, Li Yuan is noncommittal, just nodded and did not speak, his attitude is unfathomable, and his eyes are only looking ahead. After a while, I only heard the sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder, and then I saw the flag waving, and Li Shimin's big flag was unfamiliar with one side
The flags were side by side, and under the flags, a black wave swept in. Li Shimin rushed to see his father, naturally he couldn't lead the army, and only Xu Le and his Xuanjia cavalry were by his side. This cavalry team of several hundred people was originally nothing compared to the thousands of troops and horses behind Li Yuan, and Yingyang of the Six Prefectures in Hedong was also a Great Sui
The elite of the number, Jinyang, as an important warehouse for the conquest of the Turks in the Son of Heaven's vision, has accumulated a large number of armor soldiers. When it comes to the benefits of armor and equipment, in addition to the east and west and Jiangdu, Jinyang is the most.
There are many soldiers and horses, and the hundreds of cavalry can't turn the wind and waves in front of them, and they can't get into the eyes of everyone. But when these hundreds of horsemen appeared, they were the veteran generals in Jinyang who had experienced a hundred battles, and their breath was also suffocated. It was obviously hundreds of cavalry, but the pace of the horse's hooves was surprisingly consistent, and it sounded like a horse. Even the horsemen and Heng'an, who had been at war with the Turks for a long time in the border areas, could not do this, let alone the cavalry of Jinyang. Jinyang
Some people in the army had followed Yang Guang to participate in the Liaodong Expedition, fighting side by side with the elite of the Twelve Guards, and their horizons were the most broad, but they had never seen such methods. The courage of the hundreds of Xuanjia riders at this time was not weaker than the thousands of elite armor riders behind Li Yuan, although Pei Lin was good at literature and military affairs, he could also feel the momentum of the Xuanjia cavalry like a landslide and tsunami, and he was extremely surprised in his heart
: Who is this Xu Le? How could there be such a powerful method? The so-called Xuanjia Rider himself has also seen it, originally there were only a hundred people, and now most of these horses are from Li Shimin's generals and elite soldiers, although they are also archers and horses, but they can be cultivated into He Yuan Xuan in a short period of time
The elite cavalry of the armor cavalry is also the means of famous generals. Fighting generals are only good at fighting and may not be good at generals, those who have both courage and military strategy are by no means ordinary border heroes! Who the hell is he? Where did you learn this? Looking sideways, he saw that Li Yuan also looked at this cavalry with wide eyes, with both surprise and some doubts in his eyes, and there was something that Pei Lin couldn't see. It seems that the head of the family, who pays attention to the elegance of the family and is elegant and calm,
Also aroused by this cavalry?
Pei Lin said in a low voice: "This Xuanjia cavalry is Xu Le's soldiers and horses, if this army is under the dispatch of Dalang......" He didn't finish his words, but found that Li Yuan didn't pay attention to himself at all, just staring at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, obviously not listening to what he was saying. Suddenly, I saw Li Yuan get up from the car, and the two brocade-clothed generals hurriedly supported Li
Abuchi got out of the car.
Pei Lin was taken aback, Li Yuan went out of the city to greet Li Shimin, which was considered a deep father-son relationship, but as a father, he got out of the car to greet his son, which inevitably confused his dignity. He hurriedly reminded: "Guogong! But Li Yuan didn't pay attention to Pei Lin at all, and then pushed with his hands when his feet landed, and the two generals were pushed away by him. I saw Li Yuan striding towards Li Shimin and his party, and if the generals who were blocking the road along the way couldn't dodge, they would be unwelcome
Angrily reached out and pushed.
Li Yuan is known as "dull and heavy" in the court, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of him, his face does not change, but today's gaffe is unprecedented. Not only Pei Lian, but also the other accompanying generals were surprised in their hearts, and they didn't know why Guogong was like this.
Li Shimin and Xu Le also reined in their mounts at this time, and the two of them kicked off their horses, and then the Xuanjia rider also reined in their mounts and saluted together to pay homage to the Duke of Guo.
Li Shimin said loudly: "The last general Li Shimin pays homage to his father!" ”
Xu Le also shouted loudly afterwards: "Shenwu Xu Le pays homage to Tang Guogong!" Li Yuan had already walked in front of the two of them at this time, his eyes swept over Li Shimin, and then he stared closely at the cold-forged armor on Xu Le's body, and the whole person stood there like a wood carved clay sculpture, and his eyes always fell on the armor
opened, as if there was something rare about this treasure armor, so he was reluctant to stagger his eyes. Li Shimin didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to ask, the generals behind Li Yuan, Pei Lin and the others were full of suspicion but didn't dare to make a sound, although there were thousands of people and horses in the field, it was unusually quiet at this time, except for the sound of breathing and the sound of the war horse
There was no sound. After a long time, Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Xu Le's hand and asked in a trembling voice, "Xu Le...... I came to ask you, have you heard of Xu Wei? Where is Xu Kang? Where did you get this armor from? ”
