Outside the city, a heavy snow has just stopped, and the ground is silvery white.

At the foot of Wangwu Mountain, about three miles away from Anshi City, there is a small farm. Around the farm, the samurai in armor and armor were heavily guarded in three steps and one post in five steps. The headquarters of the Crusade Army was set up in this farm.

There are only 100 households in the farm, and in one of the largest houses inside, the heat emitted by the honeycomb coal stove makes the house a little hot, Li Shimin took off his fur coat and sat on a chair to read a book.

The book in Li Shimin's hand is a thread-bound "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The book is very precious, the cover is a painting by the famous painter Yan Liben, "The Great River Flows", and the portraits of the three lords of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao, are vivid.

The text inside is even more powerful, it is the manuscript of the famous calligrapher Ouyang Xun in the early Tang Dynasty, and it is also the last work left by this old gentleman before his death.

Ouyang Xun's words are a thousand words, and the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a total of 734,321 words, and the value is astronomical.

This book was customized by Li Tai for Li Shimin, when Li You made the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Li Tai asked Ouyang Xun, who had served as a bachelor of Hongwenguan, to copy this book.

However, Ouyang Xun liked this "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very much, so he copied it down while reading.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are many examples of fighting with fire, such as the burning of Bowangpo, the Battle of Chibi, the burning of the company camp, the burning of rattan armor soldiers, etc.

Li Shimin had already finished reading the book, but this time Li You wrote to say that he would carry out a fire attack on Anshi City. He personally inspected the terrain of Anshi City, and saw that the stone thrower was out of reach, and it was impossible to send people in to set it on fire, and he really couldn't think of how to carry out a fire attack on such a fortified city.

Li Shimin couldn't figure it out, so he sent someone to call Li Jing, Li Daozong, and others to discuss this issue with everyone. The crowd couldn't figure out how to carry out the fire attack.

However, Li You has always been reliable, and since he said that he could, everyone thought it could.

Li Jing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, if the minister makes a bet, he will bet that His Royal Highness the King of Qi will be able to complete the fire fight against Anshi City, one to ten, I don't know if anyone is willing to bet with the minister." ”

Li Daozong said with a smile: "Those people who bet with His Royal Highness King Qi all lost very badly, I don't dare to bet with the general." If you want to bet, I will stand on the side of the general, and I will lose ten to one, and bet on His Royal Highness King Qi to win. Ha ha. ”

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere was very relaxed, and they waited for Li You to send someone over.

On this day, Li You hadn't come over yet, and Changsun Chong and Wang Jingzhi came over with a condolence group. Coming with them was Princess Li Lizhi of Changle.

It turned out that Empress Changsun heard about the princes and princesses organizing a condolence group, and not only strongly supported it, but also specially sent Li Lizhen to come to condole and take care of Li Shimin by the way.

The Tang army was not allowed to bring female dependents on expeditions, and even His Majesty the Emperor could not bring female dependents to come, and this rule was specially promulgated by Li Shimin.

When Emperor Yang of Sui set out on an expedition, he took dozens of concubines. When the soldiers were fighting bloody battles in front, how did they feel when they saw His Majesty the Emperor hugging left and right? Low morale is inevitable.

Li Shimin came to the front line and shared weal and woe with the soldiers on the front line, so that this could play a role in motivating the soldiers of the imperial conquest.

Empress Eldest Sun was very thoughtful. She couldn't call Li Shimin's concubines to come, let one of his daughters come over to comfort the soldiers of the Tang Army, and take care of him in life by the way, no one had anything to say.

The soldiers on the front line were each given some condolences, including towels and insoles. The towels are produced in the industrial city, and slogans such as "Datang Guard" and "Defend Datang, Supreme Glory" are printed on them.

The insoles are different, they are handmade by the women of Chang'an. On the insole, the women embroidered a variety of patterns, including mandarin ducks playing in the water, and hoof lilies, etc., which fully demonstrated the delicate emotions of female xing.

Especially the female dependents of the soldiers who fought on the front line at home, those insoles were embroidered with their names, as well as the exclusive whispers between them, which conveyed their thoughts about their relatives. These insoles were delivered exclusively to their loved ones.

Don't look at this small condolence item, but it is a great spiritual comfort for those soldiers who fight in a difficult environment.

The soldiers heard that this condolence group was organized by Li Shimin's princes and daughters at their own expense, which deepened their respect and love for Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was very appreciative of the idea of organizing a condolence group, and he decided on the spot that in the future, no matter which unit went to the front line to fight, the imperial court or local government would organize a condolence group to offer condolences.

On this day, in the ancestral hall of the farm, the condolence group first held a condolence performance for Li Shimin and the soldiers of the Marshal's Mansion.

The kabuki and musicians first performed some familiar songs, dances and music for Li Shimin and others.

At this time, the musicians played a tune that no one had ever heard before, and then a beautiful and dignified young woman came to the stage.

Li Shimin was amused when he saw it, and the person who came turned out to be his daughter Li Liqing.

Li Lizhen has been able to sing and dance since she was a child, Li Shimin knows it, but it has never been something that has never happened for her to perform in public.

The soldiers were very honored to see Her Royal Highness the princess come to sing for everyone in person.

Li Lizhi sang: "

Fifteen moons

Shine in your hometown, shine at the border

Quiet nights

You miss me too

I honor my parents for their hard work

You dedicated your life to the motherland and did not hesitate to shed blood and sweat

I have a lot of responsibility for the whole family

You're defending national security

yes

The prosperity of the motherland has your contribution

There are also my contributions

Ten thousand families are reunited

It's my wish and yours

yes

It's also your heart's desire

……”

This musical work is a song composed by Shi Tieyuan and Xu Xiyi, lyrics by Shi Xiang, and arranged by Lou Lianguang. It was once popular in the 80s of the last century, and it is a very good military song.

This song was very touching and deeply touched the hearts of the officers and men of the Tang Army who fought bloodily on the front line.

Li Shimin was very excited, he asked for the lyrics and scores, and sang on the spot, Li Lizhi sang for him on the side, Li Shimin's thick male voice with magnetic xing, and Li Liqing's soft and clear female voice were intertwined, producing a wonderful sense of beauty.

Many soldiers shed tears and sang along with Li Shimin's father and daughter, and then, everyone present sang along with them, regardless of whether they remembered the lyrics or not.

On the spot, Li Shimin demanded that the condolence group go deep into the army to serve the vast number of officers and men.

After the concert, Li Shimin returned to the temporary living room, and his interest was still very high. He smiled and said, "Lizhen, who composed this song 'Fifteenth Moon'?" The lyrics are well written, and the tunes are well written. ”
