Lishan, Xixiuling.

On top of a dilapidated beacon, two men stood side by side, silently watching everything at the foot of the mountain in the distance.

"I ...... I really don't want to kill them! ”

A man in a dark gray coarse shirt said slowly, looking a little unkempt, but between his eyebrows and eyes there was indifference and arrogance that rejected people thousands of miles away.

It was Li Chen.

"To kill or not to kill, they ...... They are all soldiers of Datang, they were, they are, and they will be in the future! ”

Li Chen turned to look at Xiao Liang, and then nodded silently without refuting Xiao Liang's statement, because Li Chen knew that from the moment they put on this uniform, they were destined to go all the way.

Regardless of life and death, success or failure, and honor and disgrace.

"Sometimes ......," Li Chen said slowly, his voice low, "It's harder to forgive people than to kill!" ”

"As soldiers, they are trained to obey orders, just like this iron sword in my hand!" As he spoke, Xiao Liang gently rubbed the hilt of the sword, and said quietly: "If I use it to kill a good minister, it will be an evil soldier, and if I kill a traitorous minister, it will be a weapon of loyalty, so according to Your Majesty, is this sword loyal or treacherous?" ”

After hearing this, Li Chen frowned tightly and did not speak for a long time.

"I see what you mean!"

Xiao Liang said again: "Your Majesty is the Majesty of the Tang Dynasty and the Majesty of the world, and they ...... He is also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, a soldier of the world......"

Before Xiao Liang finished speaking, he saw Li Chen wave his hand and said, "I want to have my own soldiers!" ”

"If there are credible generals, there will naturally be credible soldiers!"

"I have all the people in the world, but there is no credible general!"

"Then Your Majesty ......" Xiao Liang showed a rare smile, "Why don't you go and learn from Li Zhen?" ”

After a short silence, Li Chen's expression became a little melancholy and uneasy.

"I ...... You don't need to learn from him, as long as he is my prince, it is enough! ”

After saying that, Li Chen turned to walk slowly in the direction of going down the mountain.

"Where is Your Majesty going?" Xiao Liang stopped and asked.

"Back to Beijing...... I want to see how capable this son is! ”

Xiao Liang smiled slightly, but he never saw it, but at this moment, the clouds on Li Chen's face became thicker and thicker.

......

After Pi Yuanshi left, He Renhou couldn't help but sigh, and then slowly walked to Bai Min and others, and said with his crossed hands: "Bai Xiang is frightened......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Bai Minzhong grab He Renhou's hand and said anxiously: "General He doesn't need to say anything, hurry up and wait for me to return to Beijing!" ”

Seeing this, Feng Ao immediately echoed: "What Bai Xiang said is extremely true, and you need to return to Beijing as soon as possible at this time!" ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately seconded the proposal and said yes, but unexpectedly, He Renhou shook his head and smiled bitterly, and at the same time took out a Ming Di from his quiver, and said with a sigh in his mouth: "Before, the lower officials didn't understand why Li Zeyuan wanted to make King Qin's army stand still outside the city, and it was not until this time that he really understood!" ”

Seeing this, Bai Min was puzzled and asked, "What?" Now that King Qin's army has arrived, why don't you stand still?! ”

"Uncle is confused, at that time, the Chinese military ministers were all trapped by the enemy outside the city, even if King Qin's division broke through the city gate, it would be nameless, and I was afraid that King Yan and Qiu Shiliang would be accused of being a rebel, I knew that I was loyal and traitorous, but the people of the world did not know the truth or falsehood, at this time, the civil and military ministers were all there, the loyal and traitorous were judged, and the good and evil were separated, and we were the army of the king, the army of justice, so that victory and defeat can be divided, and people's hearts can be determined!"

The words made everyone feel like they were empowered, and they couldn't help but look for prestige, only to see a fat man with a round body lying on a simple bamboo couch, and after saying this, he immediately became out of breath and pale.

It was Liu Kuo, who was seriously injured in order to save Li Zhen before.

Liu Kuo's body was already weak and weak, and the injury was not light, so he spent his mind and said it at this time, and he had no power to open his mouth at this time.

"This is ......" He Renhou couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw this, what this fat man said was the same as what Li Zhen said.

Liu Kuo waved his hand weakly when he heard this, panting for breath in his mouth, but Bai Minzhong on the side said with a smile: "This is the old man's nephew Liu Kuo, who is the head of the Criminal Department!" In that case, please let the general inform the king quickly! ”

He Renhou couldn't help but glance at Liu Kuo a few more times, and then put Ming Di on the horn bowstring.

Phew-

A piercing whistling sound suddenly pierced the sky and resounded through the sky.

A moment later, the sound of chirping around Chang'an City rang out, and even the thick black clouds in the sky dispersed in all directions.

......

At the same time, on the rugged mountain road of Lishan Mountain, Li Chen stopped to look at the sky and nodded with a smile.

Inside Chang'an City.

"It's ...... Mingdi?! From outside the city! ”

Qin Xing exclaimed, his face was ecstasy, stunned, but more relieved.

Seeing this, Li Zhen smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the west side of the far gate, and said, "Open the far gate, can General Qin be sure?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xing hurriedly bowed down and replied, "I will not disgrace my life!" ”

After speaking, Qin Xing turned around and snorted, and said, "If we can't break through the far gate today, we should die to thank the emperor!" ”

Then Li Zhen said to Zheng Zhen: "How many soldiers and horses does Brother Taiwen need to break through Yanping Gate?" ”

Zheng Jin was slightly stunned at first, and then grinned: "I don't want to die, but a thousand should be enough!" ”

Li Zhen laughed, "Hahaha, it's still Brother Taiwen!" After saying that, he glanced at Li Mo.

Li Mo understood and immediately proposed a thousand dead soldiers to be handed over to Zheng Jin.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhen said to Li Mo: "Yanxing Gate is in the southeast, but it is farther away, you need to hurry!" ”

Li Mo nodded and said, "It won't take half an hour!" ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said: "It's been a long time, but outside the Yanxing Gate are Heshuo soldiers and horses, and he is the leader of the king, the pressure in the city is much less, you only need to contain the defenders with 1,500 dead soldiers, and you must not take the initiative to attack!" ”

Li Mo was about to argue, but saw Li Zhen shake his head and said, "This is a military order, it cannot be violated!" ”

The reason for this arrangement is only because although Li Mo is brave, he is only a fledgling and has no experience in commanding troops, so the siege of the city naturally has to be handed over to the Heshuo coalition army outside the city, and Yanxingmen has been disturbed by Qin Starling's large-scale attack before, and the defenders have been replaced by Qiu Shiliang's Shence army at this time.

However, although the Shence army was strong, most of them had already been taken to the imperial city by Qiu Shiliang, and the defenders who remained in Yanxingmen naturally lacked strength and could not support it for too long.

"What about Brother?" Li Mo asked.

Li Zhen smiled slightly, looked in the direction of Chongrenfang, and said, "I have calculated too many people this time, and too many people have died, it's time to save people!" ”

"Who is Brother going to save? Is it dangerous? Why don't I go with you! Li Mo hurriedly said again.

Li Zhen shook his head and chuckled, pointed to the remaining five hundred dead soldiers, and said, "For my brother, I am going to save people, not kill people, they are enough!" ”
