Chapter 682: Who's Trying the Edge

"What's wrong". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is Li Shimin's attitude, all bad things happen, he doesn't feel that he has anything wrong, the fault is others, Li Shimin is too conceited, conceited to the point of arrogance, as the Tang Dynasty expands more and more territory over the years, Li Shimin's conceit and arrogance also expand with the expansion of the territory, he gradually lives himself into an unclimbable mountain, always standing in the perspective of the gods and overlooking the world.

How could the gods be wrong?

The most unsuccessful thing about this failed father is that he never felt like a failure.

The son rebelled against himself, of course, it was the son who was wrong, and his own father taught him for many years, invited famous teachers and Confucians in the world for him, always supervised his studies, instilled in him the truth of governing the country and the country, and connived at his various nonsense and cruel and unkind behaviors......

Li Shimin asked himself, his father has done well enough, but Li Chengqian did not cherish it, and consumed his favor and patience again and again, and finally the favor was exhausted, and he was completely disappointed and chilled by his son, which led to the later discussion of easy storage.

As a father, everything he can give him has been given, Li Shimin once introspected himself, what else did he not do enough, after asking himself again and again, Li Shimin felt more and more that he was right, yes, for this eldest son, Li Shimin did enough, good enough, after the benevolence and righteousness were exhausted, in exchange for his son's sword.

At this moment, Li Shimin's heart hurt beyond measure, the son who once bowed his head in front of him and was respectful and filial to him has now turned into a white-eyed wolf with blood at the corner of his mouth, this pain is like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, and life is worse than death.

Compared with his son's betrayal, what made Li Shimin feel that the situation was more serious was Hou Junji's participation.

"Junji also wants to rebel?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Chang Tu lowered his head and said: "I don't know what Hou Jun means, but it is a fact that people in the East Palace have frequent contact with him during these days. ”

Li Shimin glared at him angrily: "Why don't you report it early?" ”

Chang Tu said expressionlessly: "There is no evidence, it only adds to the trouble, and it also hurts the hearts of the ministers, and the old slave pressed it and did not report it, and it was not verified until today." ”

Li Shimin snorted angrily, but his face became more and more solemn.

Li Chengqian's rebellion, he was just saddened, and aside from emotional matters, objectively speaking, Li Chengqian's rebellion was like a big joke in the eyes of a person like Li Shimin, who had been in battle for a long time.

The capital of Chang'an has tens of thousands of soldiers, the twelve generals are not subordinate to each other, and have no military power, all the military power is firmly in the hands of Li Shimin, Li Chengqian is young, the DPRK and China are gradually losing their camp, and there is no foundation in the army, he can make up a few thousand rabble at most if he rebels, and Li Shimin's efforts to dust off Li Chengqian can easily level Li Chengqian.

But now the trouble is that Hou Junji is actually involved. The appearance of this person made Li Shimin have to pay attention to it.

Li Shimin knew very well that Hou Junji had a grudge against him, and after destroying the capital of Gaochang, Li Shimin had to exile Hou Junji in order to calm the anger of the public, although it was done in accordance with the national law and military law, but this decision was somewhat of a bird's nest, and Li Shimin actually felt a little guilty about him, so when Li Su begged for pardon for Hou Junji, Li Shimin was equivalent to having a step, and he went down and agreed to Li Su's request.

After all, he has been a monarch for many years, and Li Shimin originally planned to appease Hou Junji more, and eliminate Hou Junji's hatred with grace and brotherhood, but ...... Who would have thought that Hou Junji would be involved in the prince's rebellion.

Unlike Li Chengqian, Hou Junji's weight in the Tang Army is very heavy, he once served as the general of the left and right guards, when Li Shimin was still the king of Qin, Hou Junji was already a senior general with countless meritorious contributions, although the Tang Dynasty military system changed, the general did not have the real power to transfer troops, but each general commanded the old department like a cloud, these old departments each commanded countless troops, if the general was tempted to take advantage of it, if the old department of these commanders was twisted into a force, it would be too terrifying.

The existence of a great general is tantamount to a nuclear bomb to a neighboring country, but once he defects, it is also a very terrible threat to the interior.

Li Shimin's face sank like water, and he said coldly: "Hou Junji is still not posted, can't you find out?" ”

Chang Tu shook his head: "The entry of the people in the East Palace into the Hou Mansion is a secret discussion, and there is no way to know. ”

Li Shimin raised his head and closed his eyes, and said slowly: "In this way, I have reversed him." …… Chang Tu, quickly mobilize the Yulin Guards, and the proposed decree was sent to Cheng Zhijie, Niu Jinda, Li Ji, Cheng Zhijie took over the left Wuwei, Niu Jinda took over the right Wuwei, Li Jitong Longwu Army, the three armies entered Chang'an City, the left and right Wuwei entered the Taiji Palace, the Longwu Army attacked the enemy, the left and right Wuwei defended the palace gate, and the Yulin Guards laid an arrow array in the Liangyi Gate, and anyone who dared to break into the palace was shot and killed! ”

Chang Tu bowed down to receive orders.

Outside the hall, a thunderclap suddenly exploded, and the rain poured like a torrent, crackling on the glazed tiles on the roof of the hall. The wind swept into the hall, blowing out several palace lamps in the hall, and the hall fell into darkness.

Chang Tu was just about to order the palace people to light the lamp, but he saw Li Shimin waving weakly at him: "You go, I want to sit alone for a while." ”

Chang Tu bowed and withdrew from the main hall, and couldn't help but look back after stepping out of the threshold, but saw Li Shimin sitting alone in the hall, like an old man who was about to die, his body was rickety, and the huge manna hall was surrounded by a thick atmosphere of sadness and pain, Chang Tu couldn't see the expression on Li Shimin's face clearly, but he deeply felt the sad aura emanating from Li Shimin.

Chang Tu looked at Li Shimin's lonely figure and sighed silently.

The co-master of the country and the world in his hands, so what? After all, you can't escape the repeated situation of the world, and people's hearts are cold.

After Chang Tu left, in the empty and silent hall, there was a hoarse roar, its sound was like the neighing of a sleepy beast, if the Peng bird was crying, the sound was crying blood, and finally the roar gradually turned into choking and crying bitterly. The voice of resentment and pain echoed in the temple.

"What a mistake I have, how can my son be wrong!"

East of Taiping Village, outside the cave.

Lightning, thunderstorms, all poured in.

On a rainy night, a fierce battle of life and death is in full swing.

Zheng Xiaolou had already suffered more than ten wounds, the sword in his hand had rolled up at some point, the person was weak, the tip of the sword hung low, the blood meandered along the blade, gathered on the tip of the sword, and then fell drop by drop into the rain-soaked mud.

Three of the ten subordinates left by Li Su to Li Daozheng have been killed in battle, and the rest have been wounded, and everyone has supported their exhausted bodies, and the sparse but impenetrable defense line outside the cave.

Inside the cave, there are the Li family's housewife and maids, miscellaneous servants, and the defense line formed by the tribes with their lives has become their last hope.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the enemy paid the price of more than 30 lives, but in the end he still failed to cross the defensive line.

The two sides are locked in a stalemate, and both sides are using this short time to quickly recover their strength, waiting for the next fiercer battle.

Zheng Xiaolou's face was bloodless, blood gushed out from various wounds on his body, he felt dizzy, only to feel that his body had collapsed, and the light sword seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in his hand, so weak that he couldn't even lift his arms.

The seven subordinates standing side by side with Zheng Xiaolou are Fang Lao Wu's subordinates, they have all experienced the bloody battle in Xizhou with Li Su, and the situation tonight is the same as back then, they are all outnumbered, they are all cut off from hope, and the subordinates are not afraid, but calmly look at the enemy a few feet away from each other, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of their mouths.

Returning to Chang'an from Xizhou, entering the Zhuangzi of the Li family, the young Hou Ye treats them well, and the Hou Ye's relatives also treat them well, they like Mrs. Hou Ye to arrange a house for them as if the maid is unreasonable, send ice cubes in hot weather, send bedding in cold weather, they prefer to squat on the edge of the field with Li Daozheng, honestly listen to the old man tell them agricultural skills, and make a few meat jokes by the way. The favorite is Hou Ye, a young man who was lazy at that moment and seemed to be unable to beat his spirits, but he had a fierce temper that would rather die than give in, and there seemed to be a kind of magic invisibly, which made people can't help but follow him, fight for him, and die for him.

Sacrificing life and dying for such a family, there are no regrets in this life.

Therefore, the tribes are very calm, even if they know that they are on the verge of death, they still don't care, a few people, generous and calm, and would rather die than retreat.

On the opposite side of the Li family's trilogy, the captain who led the team was already trembling.

Originally, I thought that the attack was just to kill a few old and weak women and children, and it was as easy as catching them, but in the end it turned into a thrilling and bloody battle on the edge of life and death, with only a dozen or so people, and Leng stopped hundreds of people outside the cave, and every step had to pay the price of their lives!

There were also casualties on the other side, from a dozen or so to now there are only seven or eight people left, the captain can see that they are exhausted, tired, and even some people can't even hold the knife, but seeing their calm and calm appearance, the captain is afraid from the heart, no matter how unbearable the appearance is, the horizontal in front of them is like a mountain that cannot be climbed and conquered, majestic, hard, and unshakable.

Turning his head to look at the more than seventy robes behind him, and then looking at the seven or eight people on the opposite side, the captain struggled in his heart.

Seven or eight people against seventy people, there was no suspense in the fight, but he became more and more uncertain, because their enemies seemed to be too strong to be defeated, and I don't know what kind of mind is supporting them, and they have actually stood up until now.

After hesitating for a long time, the captain gritted his teeth fiercely. Tonight is a sure defeat, no matter whether the prince succeeds or not, if the Li family is not eliminated, what awaits him is ruthless military law, it is better to simply give it a go, and save some chips in his hand before he can save his life.

"Brothers, no matter how hard you try, they can't hold on!" A thunderbolt rang out, and the captain raised his sword and roared.

More than 70 people cheered up, fanned out like wolves, and slowly approached Zheng Xiaolou and the others with knives in a semicircle.

Zheng Xiaolou's half-closed eyes suddenly widened, and the strength of his seemingly exhausted body came out of nowhere, his palm turned over, and the sword shot cold light in the night, and the tip of the sword pointed far ahead, trembling slightly and firmly.

The other seven subordinates also suddenly showed a fierce look, standing with a horizontal sword, and their eyes showed a fierce light.

Another life-and-death gamble slowly started on a rainy night.

"Up!" The captain gave a military order, and more than 70 people swarmed up, and dozens of sharp blades slashed towards Zheng Xiaolou and the others.

Zheng Xiaolou and the subordinates smiled miserably, but they met it without fear.

It was the last fight, as they only had enough strength left to support this one.

The moment before the two sides met each other, a violent roar like fire suddenly came from behind Zheng Xiaolou.

"It's too much of a deception! When I have no one in the Li family? ”

The two sides paused, and turned their heads to look at it at the same time, but saw that Li Daozheng was wearing an old leather armor that he had taken out of nowhere, the thick dust on the leather armor had not been wiped, and he was holding a halberd in his hand, the tip of the halberd was blunt, covered with rust, obviously an old object from a long time ago.

The enemy was stunned, and the Li family's subordinates were also stunned, they had never seen the image of the master appear.

Only Zheng Xiaolou seemed to have known it a long time ago, and his face was still as calm as water, and he didn't show any surprise.

The lieutenant was frightened by Li Daozheng's appearance, because the appearance of this old farmer-like person at the moment was indescribably weird, and even he couldn't figure out who this person was and why he suddenly appeared at this last critical moment.

"You, you're ......"

Li Daozheng snorted coldly: "I am Li Su's father, you have worked hard to kill them all, and I am the target of your killing." ”

The captain was taken aback, and then rejoiced: "Brothers, except for him!" ”

More than 70 people rushed up, Zheng Xiaolou and his subordinates were in a hurry, fighting hard, and retreating in the direction of Li Daozheng, trying to protect Li Daozheng, but after all, there were more than 70 people on the other side, Zheng Xiaolou and others tried their best and tricks, after all, they couldn't stop the enemy's impact as if they were dying, as if the embankment was broken, twenty or thirty people bypassed Zheng Xiaolou, passed by from the side, and quickly surrounded Li Daozheng.

Li Daozheng looked up to the sky and laughed, his body suddenly sank, and the rusty halberd in his hand swept violently, the light and shadow swept by, and seven or eight people suddenly lay on the ground, and then Li Daozheng roared, a halberd poked away, and it hit the heart of a person, and the tip of the halberd entered the chest a few inches, and a human life has been harvested.

The enemy was stunned by Li Daozheng's two sharp moves, dozens of people surrounded him, and no one dared to step forward to attack him for a while.

"This, this is ...... Tricks in the Dragon Martial Army! One of the enemies muttered distractedly.

Li Daozheng laughed heroically, the halberd slammed to the ground, and shouted: "Good eyesight, a certain was once a personal guard under the command of the general, and when he retreated, he led the horse to fall and kicked, entered the Keyuan Gate to shoot the halberd, served under the tent for ten years, and returned in a hundred battles. ”

The captain gritted his teeth unwillingly, his eyes were red, and he shouted: "Up! ”

Li Daozheng laughed, the halberd in his hand turned into a phantom in the sky, looking at the posture was clearly a murderous old connoisseur, twenty or thirty people flocked up, the sky was full of phantoms, the halberd swept down the road, and after the virtual shaking, he suddenly picked it up, and another person was stabbed through the heart, everyone was afraid, and they retreated, this move was false and real, and they didn't know how to resist, compared to the silent man Zheng Xiaolou who held the long sword in front, the guy wielding the halberd in front of him seemed to be more difficult to deal with, because his move routine was the trick of the real two armies against each other, simple and effective, If you recruit it, you will see blood and return.

Killing two lives in a row, Li Daozheng seemed to inspire the pride and murderous aura that had been hidden in his heart for many years, raising his halberd and pointing obliquely at the night sky, his eyes glaring at the enemy, and a word suddenly burst out of his mouth like a landslide.

"Kill!"

One word falls, and the sky and the earth change color! (To be continued.) )
