"But if I don't go for reinforcements and stop the Yan people, maybe I won't be able to return to the Central Plains." Li Dongsheng is also very entangled, it's not that he doesn't know that the current matter of transferring troops will definitely become a thorn in Li Shimin's heart that can never be pulled out, but he has to send it when the arrow is ready.

The Goguryeo reinforcements in the distance continued to pull over, and Xue Rengui and Li Dongsheng looked at the endless crowd and felt a burst of cold air in their hearts: "Your Majesty dared to let such a large team follow us for more than ten days, I can only say that I admire." ”

"He was so proud that he didn't take our early advice to heart at all. His reliance on grenades and gunpowder was too high, and he already looked down on the Goguryeo army. Xue Rengui sighed and said: "As a result, an accident turned over, and people still can't go too smoothly." ”

"This can only be said by ourselves, and when it reaches the ears of others, it is a vain discussion of the emperor, so pay attention to it yourself." Li Dongsheng thought about it, but still accepted Xue Rengui's advice, stayed in the team, and waited for Li Shimin's order to send reinforcements. I still have three children who haven't met, but I can't let them be born without a father.

After a morning of confrontation, Li Ji arrived with reinforcements, and he was surprised to see Li Dongsheng and Xue Rengui: "You brought so many soldiers out without His Majesty's will?" It's a capital offense. Why are you so confused? ”

Looking at Li Ji's nervous face, Li Dongsheng felt a warmth in his heart, if others estimated that he had already been taken down and handed over to Li Shimin for disposal, he smiled bitterly: "I happened to be in the logistics when the camp roared, and I remembered that Gao Yanshou's team was behind, for fear that he would be caught between Yang Wanchun in Anshi City, so he organized a team to block them for a few days first, giving the Chinese army a little time to rectify." I didn't think of so much at the time, and now it's too late to regret it. ”

"You're just impulsive! Did you send someone to report to Your Majesty? ”

Hearing Li Dongsheng say that he had sent someone to report, Li Ji nodded and said, "That's okay, there are still words to say." Now you don't have to command, hand over the team to me, and you will go to Your Majesty to admit your mistakes, don't be tough again. No matter what punishment Your Majesty makes, you must accept it immediately, and you must be happy, otherwise someone will say that you have resentment, and that will be a great disaster! ”

The two of them accepted Li Ji's kindness and handed over the whole team to him, and the two of them only took the guards back to the camp under the city of Anshi. Looking at the messy camp, those soldiers who were cleaning up, Li Dongsheng was afraid for a while: Fortunately, he was far away from the logistics, if the Chinese army did not react in time, I don't know if it would be trampled to death in the chaos or all kinds of strange ways to die, at that time, no one cared whether you were a traverser or what a marquis, as long as you saw someone in front of you blocking your way when you were nervous, you would definitely cut it down with a knife.

When Li Shimin heard the news of Li Dongsheng's return, he immediately asked them to come over to see him. They didn't even care about comforting their eldest grandson Wuji, who had just found him, and they finally escaped for their lives in the camp roar at night, and then hid in the woods in fear for most of the night, and waited until dawn before they slowly came out, and inquired in many ways to find Li Shimin, it was almost dark.

"Wechen see Your Majesty, Wechen is guilty of capital crimes, please punish Your Majesty!" According to Li Ji's teachings, it is better to admit your mistakes first than to be impeached by others.

"Well done! Do things like you decisively, and show the true character of a hero when the sea crosses the sea! I really didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly! Li Shimin's face was full of spring breeze, as if last night's camp roar had not happened, which made Li Dongsheng admire his city government and his face. By the way, have you ever encountered a team with high longevity? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, today when the sky is just dawning, we have already fought with Gao Yanshou's team, in Xiling, we arrived more than an hour earlier than them, and used cavalry to impact for a while, killing about eight thousand, due to the enemy and our outnumber, we are now shrinking the defense, the team has been handed over to Li Shangshu, I am back to ask for guilt."

Li Shimin pretended to be displeased: "What did you say, leading troops to kill the enemy and saying that you are guilty?" What do you want the adults in the room to think? Saying that what you do well is what you do well, and no one can take the credit from you, am I the kind of person who has merit and is not rewarded? ”

Li Dongsheng almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, Wang, are you so hateful for me? I know you have an opinion on such a big thing last night, but you can't use me as a target. This sentence made me offend all the civil and military ministers in this nest. Li Dongsheng also knew that after so many things, they must have all kinds of things to do, and it was not good for him to be entangled in his own affairs all the time, so let's wait for him to be free.

When Li Dongsheng left, the eldest grandson Wuji heard Li Shimin praise him for his meritorious service again, and asked with jealousy: "Your Majesty, Lantian Hou led troops to kill 8,000 in the early hours of this morning?" The Eastern Crusade has made the most meritorious contributions to the present, and he is really a young talent. ”

Li Shimin saw that so many people were deliberately giving Li Dongsheng a face, and said with a smile: "This kid was in the logistics team yesterday, and when he saw the roar of the large military camp, he was afraid that the army would be attacked by Gao Yanshou's troops, so he led a team to block it overnight. Without him, now we are fighting on both sides, and we will be passive! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was cunning and cunning, and when he heard it, he heard the question: "Your Majesty, Lantian Hou led the troops out and you didn't give him an order?" "Everyone present has their ears pricked up, everyone has gone through many political struggles in the court, and no one dares to break this red line.

"Yes, I didn't give the order, the military situation was urgent at the time, and he remembered this matter." Although Li Shimin is reminded by them now, he has reacted in his heart, but he has just praised him, so he can't turn his face immediately.

The eldest grandson Wuji got up and went out of the queue and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Lantian Hou dared to mobilize troops and horses without His Majesty's will, and committed the great crime of rebellion. ”

"Where is it so serious, it's just a matter of urgency!" At the moment of the war, Li Shimin still wants to fool the past, and he doesn't want to fight on this matter, people are desperate to keep you safe, but without going through a single procedure, you will be deducted as a rebel with your backhand, who will dare to save you if there is danger in the future?

"Your Majesty, this column cannot be opened, this wind cannot be raised, please think about it, what if Lantian Hou does not transfer troops to resist the Goguryeo soldiers?" The eldest grandson Wuji lay on the ground and couldn't get up: "If Your Majesty doesn't punish this time and it becomes a practice in the future, then what safety does Your Majesty have at all?" ”

He saw that Li Shimin still couldn't bear it, and directly said the killing sentence: "Your Majesty, Weichen is thinking about why Lantian Hou can mobilize 10,000 soldiers without the Holy Decree Tiger Talisman?" ”
