Since Li Shimin left the village last time, he has really made a comeback. He returned to Chang'an, persuaded Li Yuan, and made a military order to destroy Western Qin.

Li Yuan actually had no one to send, so he had to let Li Shimin continue to command the army. Li Shimin gained the military power, and immediately picked up tens of thousands of horses and went straight to Western Qin.

After Xue Ju's death, his son Xue Rengao had just succeeded to the throne, and before he could bury Xue Ju, Li Shimin had already raised troops to kill him.

Xue Rengao is brave and unscrupulous, and has a tyrannical personality. Li Shimin set the strategy of exhausting the troops, did not come out of the wall, saw the opportunity, and took advantage of the situation to attack when the Western Qin soldiers were exhausted, and defeated Xue Rengao in the shallow water plain, and was ashamed.

At that time, not long after Li Tang established the country, Liu Wuzhou led his troops to the south and captured several states of the Tang State. Li Shimin took command of the expedition, but in a few months, he defeated Song Jingang and Liu Wuzhou in a row, recovered the lost land of Merge and Fen, and made the northern part of the Tang State enjoy peace in peace.

At that time, the world was chaotic and divided. Yu Wenhua and after killing the monarch, he led the troops to the north, fought with Li Mi for many battles, and finally defeated Wei County, established himself as the emperor, and founded the country "Xu".

That Li Mi was born in an aristocratic family, the fourth generation and three dukes in the family, both civil and military, and known as ambitious. After repeatedly defeating the Sui army, he shocked the world and called himself Duke Wei. Fought for power with Zhai Rang, the former leader of Wagang, and abolished Zhai Rang, which caused internal instability in the Wagang army. People's hearts floated and suffered several defeats. Later, although he defeated Yu Wenhua and saved some morale, he could hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800. Li Mi didn't have time to recover, and Wang Shichong, the old opponent who occupied Luoyang, saw the right time, poured out of the nest, and defeated the Wagang army.

After Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, he was arrogant and domineering, specializing in court politics, and soon, he abolished the emperor and the emperor, and the country name was Zheng, and the year name was enlightened.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Yuan conquered the east and the west, and attacked from afar, but it lasted two years, and Guanzhong was unified, with Bashu in the south and Hedong in the north, and its momentum has been achieved. Advance to the east to attack Henan Wang Shichong, north to attack Hebei Dou Jiande, south to the south of the Yangtze River Xiao milling, retreat can stick to Tongguan natural risk, to protect the foundation of Guanzhong.

In the third year of Wude, the Tang army was strong and strong, and Li Yuan sent his second son Shimin to take command again, commanding 50,000 troops, marching from Shanxi to Luoyang to defeat Wang Shichong.

All the way, the momentum is like a bamboo, and the surrounding counties have come and gone. Li Shimin was sharp, won many victories, defeated Wang Shichong in Cijian, and the newly collected fierce general Wei Chi Gong was brave and unparalleled, and won the lance with a single whip, and defeated Zheng Guo's general Shan Xiongxin, and killed more than 10,000 people. Under the loss of soldiers, Wang Shichong had no choice but to retreat to Luoyang and hold out.

At that time, all the states in Henan were attached to the wind, and only Wang Shichong was trapped in the lonely city of Luoyang. Luoyang is a strong city since ancient times, after the Sui Emperor Yang Guang reigned for more than ten years of continuous reinforcement and construction, the city is high and deep moats, the garrison is perfect, the city sergeants are the elite left over from the former Sui, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After Wang Shichong ascended the throne, he continued to strengthen and increase the height of the city wall, and really operated Luoyang like an iron barrel, which was as solid as gold.

Li Shimin's troops were stationed in the north, besieged on all sides, day and night, and the corpses were all over the field under the city of Luoyang, shouting to kill the heavens, and they attacked for more than ten days in a row, but there was still no result. There were more than a dozen times in the city before and after someone wanted to open the city gate to respond to the Tang army, but they were all discovered and executed by Zheng Jun before they could launch.

Originally, the officers and men of the Tang Army, who had won successive battles and had high morale, were exhausted, and the generals Liu Hongji and other generals asked the squad to return to the court, but Li Shimin refused. Li Yuan also saw that the attack in Guanzhong had been fruitless for several months, and issued a secret decree to show Li Shimin's class, but Li Shimin still did not obey.

On the one hand, Li Shimin sent a messenger to explain his thoughts to Li Yuan and persuade Li Yuan, while besieging Luoyang in all directions.

Wang Shichong knew that the lonely city could not be defended for a long time, and he failed to break through several times. In desperation, he sent an envoy to contact Dou Jiande in Hebei Province to send troops to help.

Dou Jiande newly defeated Meng Haigong, collected his deployment, and the army was sharp, and the founding number was Xia. After listening to Wang Shichong's secret envoy explain the stakes of the cold lips and teeth, he raised 100,000 soldiers, known as 300,000, advanced by land and water, crossed the Yellow River in a mighty way, and went straight to Luoyang.

But said that on this day, Li Mingyu was taking Xiao Hei outside the village to practice the basic skills of the children practicing the horse lance, and suddenly saw Xiao Hei, who was lying lazily on the ground, raised his head, his ears kept turning, and his nose sniffed.

After sniffing for a while, Xiao Hei stood up and trotted towards Taniguchi, looking back at him as he ran. Li Mingyu, who was familiar with Xiao Hei's habits, knew that Xiao Hei seemed to have discovered something, and let himself go with him.

Li Mingyu was puzzled, and while instructing the children to disperse and practice on their own, he followed Xiao Hei's steps. When Kankan was about to walk to the entrance of the valley, he saw a carriage guarded by four strong horses coming into the valley.

The carriage was very luxurious, and the chariot and the four strong riders were all rough servants with thick hands and feet, with strong waists and thick waists, and horizontal knives at their waists, and they were proficient in martial arts at a glance. Just as he was about to enter the valley, suddenly the horses screamed and neighed, and then a black-haired tiger jumped out, frightened, hurriedly dismounted, and with a sigh, the horizontal knife came out of the sheath, and surrounded the carriage.

As soon as Li Mingyu saw that the other side pulled out a knife, he hurriedly shouted, "Stop hurting my little black!" "A few steps to the carriage.

When the servants saw that a seven or eight-year-old child had come, they were also strange, and were about to ask a question, when suddenly the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the eldest grandson showed his head and ordered, "Your own people, you stand down." Several of the servants replied, returned their swords, and retreated.

Mingyu was surprised and delighted when he saw that it was the eldest grandson, and he hurried over to see the ceremony, and he was also strange in his heart, wasn't the eldest grandson pregnant? If you don't raise your baby well in Chang'an, why do you still run to this rural place?

The eldest grandson's eyes were red, and his hands were still wrapped with white cloth, and he asked, "Mingyu, where is your master?" I'm in a hurry to find him! ”

Mingyu replied, "Master should be practicing martial arts at home now, and I will lead you to meet him." ”

The eldest grandson nodded, and said to the servant, "Leave two people to guard the valley mouth, pay attention to whether anyone is following, and the others follow me into the village, don't disturb the villagers." The servant woman nodded in agreement and did as the eldest grandson commanded.

Li Mingyu saw that the eldest grandson was so careful, as if he was afraid that someone would secretly follow him, so he said to Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei, you go with you, and if you find a suspicious person, you will be scared away!" Xiao Hei was psychic, roared, and turned his head and ran towards the mountains and forests.

Then Mingyu smiled at the eldest grandson and said, "Auntie, don't worry, the little black nose is the most sensitive, and no one can avoid it." Why are you so careful? Is there a bad man? ”

The eldest grandson nodded, approved of his approach, and replied, "These are extraordinary times, and there are people's eyeliner everywhere, and I came here secretly, so it's always good to be careful." ”

Li Mingyu led the carriage and horse to the door of the house, and before he entered the door, he shouted, "Master! Master! Look who's coming! ”

Xuanba was practicing martial arts in the courtyard, covered in sweat, heard the call of the apprentice, went out, saw that it was the eldest grandson, hurried over to greet him, and asked, "Sister-in-law?!" What are you doing here? Shouldn't you raise your baby at home at this time? ”

When the eldest grandson saw Xuanba, his eyes turned red, and he almost burst into tears, and said, "This is not the place to talk, go in and talk about it!" Then he opened the curtain and pulled it up, and he was helped out of the car by the servant woman with his stomach up, Li Mingyu saw that his eldest grandson was now pregnant for seven or eight months, and there was a lot of inconvenience in the big belly, and the master was different from men and women, so he was busy helping him.

When the eldest grandson was helped into the house and sat down, the eldest grandson cried, "Xuanba! My sister-in-law is here to ask for something this time! You must help me in the past! Right now, my brother is leading the troops with Erlang, and my uncle is very old, and I can't even find a reliable person in Chang'an City, so I really have no way to ask for help! ”

Li Xuanba was shocked and said, "Sister-in-law, why did you say this!" What the hell is going on? Now that you are pregnant, don't worry too much, be careful of the tire gas! ”

The eldest grandson was asked about the sad things by him, his nose was sour, and two lines of tears came out of his eyes, and he said, "Your second brother is now leading the troops to fight against Wang Shichong, Luoyang City, and he has been fighting hard for several months." The generals in the army asked to withdraw from the army, but he insisted on refusing, and his father issued a secret order to let him withdraw from the army, but he still insisted on going his own way. Later, I somehow persuaded my father, and even agreed, and did not mention this matter again, and my father did not allow me to ask again. ”

Li Xuanba knew that the second brother was strategic, and muttered, "The general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, the second brother is familiar with military affairs, and he must have his own reasons for refusing to withdraw from the army." Sister-in-law don't have to worry. ”

The eldest grandson shook his head, tears flowed more, and said, "I know that your second brother has always been very assertive, but yesterday I heard that Wang Shichong united with Dou Jiande and brought 300,000 troops to help, your second brother is now trapped under Luoyang City, the front and rear fortified cities are unbreakable, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops behind him. Before he finished speaking, his eyes turned red, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

When Li Xuanba heard this, he was also shocked, and said, "Is this true?!" 300,000 troops! How is the second brother doing now? ”

The eldest grandson whimpered, "I, I don't know, my father doesn't allow me to ask more, only let me raise the fetus with peace of mind." But I sent someone to inquire, and it is said that someone saw that Zheng and Xia had a large joint army, so they proposed in the court to make peace with Wang Shichong and cede Shanxi, so that it would be best for your second brother to come back. Even if he can't, under the defeat and death, he can calm the anger of Wang Shichong. ”

"Is the news true?" Li Xuanba asked eagerly.

The eldest grandson hesitated, and said, "It should be true, my henchman is an old man in the family, and her purified brother was originally a member of the prince's eastern palace, and was later rewarded to the prince's confidant." The news leaked unintentionally from the drunken mouth of the East Palace strategist, and it should be true. ”

Li Xuanba put his hands behind his back, turned around twice, and sneered, "Hey! Is it my good big brother who is fueling the trouble? It's like his style of acting, for that position, I don't want any brotherly affection! ”
