After the battle strategy was decided, Li Shimin felt that he should rectify the lost military spirit.

When he learned that the flute soldier and the cavalry general Chi Jingde were waiting to be disposed of, he already had an idea in his heart.

He ordered Wei Chi Jingde to be escorted into the big tent, personally untied him, and cooked wine to suppress his shock.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shimin said loudly: "The eldest husband is righteous, I will not believe slander, I believe in General Wei Chi's character." However, you have been detained today and have been wronged. If you don't feel happy to stay any longer, then I won't stop you. ”

Wei Chi Jingde arched his hand and said: "Your Highness treats me well, but you can't tolerate me left and right." ”

Li Shimin smiled knowingly and said: "You and I have a work together, there is nothing to give away, there is a box of gold and silver here, you can take it!" ”

Wei Chi Jingde is a straight person, he said: "Your Highness let me go, then I will go!" ”

As he spoke, he went forward to carry the box of gold and silver. Unexpectedly, the box was too heavy for him to lift.

So he lifted it with both hands, and with all his might, he couldn't hold it after all.

Li Shimin smiled slyly and said, "What, is it more or less?" ”

Wei Chi Jingde smiled innocently: "I really can't take it, then I won't leave!" ”

Li Shimin laughed out loud and said, "Follow me, there will be more in the future than today." Come on, prepare wine and food, I want to have a few drinks with General Wei Chi. ”

Since then, Wei Chi Jingde has begun to follow Li Shimin with all his heart.

After dealing with the matter of Wei Chi Jingde, Li Shimin ordered someone to pardon the young soldier who played the flute.

Then, he led a number of his own soldiers to shoot the tiger in the mountain, and personally shot the tiger. He didn't have this leisurely feeling, he wanted to show his bravery to the soldiers and boost the morale of the soldiers.

In the coming day, Li Shimin issued a general order, ordering the whole army to assemble at the foot of the mountain and stand by.

After the whole army was assembled, Li Shimin asked the flute boy to play the song of the previous day again before the army.

The day before yesterday, they were not allowed to play the flute, and today they played the flute in front of the army, and the soldiers were puzzled.

Just when everyone was full of doubts, Li Shimin told the whole army: "Soldiers, I know that everyone is fighting outside the country, and it is very hard. In the past six months, everyone has slept in the wilderness, trekked through mountains and rivers, and slept on ice and snow, which can be said to have endured all the hardships. I am also a family person, and I also miss my family and hometown. As the commander of the Tang Dynasty, I am responsible for the war, do I lead my troops back to Chang'an because I miss my family? Today, Dou Jiande took advantage of the victory and was bound to fight a decisive battle with our army. Am I going to be a deserter because I miss my hometown? Once Dou Jiande is allowed to enter Luoyang, Datang will no longer have any chance of turning the tables. Only by winning can we solve the problem. However, this king does not force the war-weary soldiers to stay, and if you want to go home, you can go to the big tent and get the entanglement before leaving......"

The soldiers were greatly moved by these words.

The soldiers below couldn't help shouting: "Our lives are all given by the Tang Dynasty, we are born as Tang people, and we die as Tang ghosts!" ”

"Yes! We are not afraid of death, what soldiers are we afraid of death? We should not desert, the king will take us to fight us! Fight to the death with Dou Jiande ......"

……

Looking at the high-pitched military spirit in front of him, Li Shimin said solemnly: "Believe me, as long as everyone works together and strictly implements the general's orders, we will definitely be able to win!" ”

The soldiers cheered, their eyes full of anticipation of victory. They believed in the King of Qin, because the King of Qin was a victorious general of the Tang Dynasty, and he never fought uncertain battles.

After the army's morale was stabilized, Li Shimin ordered Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to lead 10,000 soldiers to continue to besiege Luoyang, and the main force of the Tang army all went to the front line of Wugao Pass.

And he himself personally led the 3,000 Xuanjia army to set off first, and the army followed closely behind, and started one after another.
