It's not sunny yet.

Huoyi City came with a team of messengers.

"I am the special envoy of the Great Qin Emperor, Wu Shi Tong, and I have come to see General Li Er on the order of my emperor."

In the original time and space, after the samurai Tong did a prosperous timber business, he enlisted in the army instead, opened the joint and became a team leader of the Taiyuan Weifu, and soon after Li Yuan came to Hedong to serve as an official, the samurai Tong deliberately made friends, and Li Yuan had a good impression of the wealthy samurai Tong, and later Li Yuan raised troops, and the samurai Tong took out all his family wealth to help the army.

Therefore, after Li Yuan became emperor, Wu Shitong was able to become one of the heroes of Taiyuan, and later he was awarded the title of duke, and finally gave him a royal daughter of the Yang family, and the Yang family gave birth to three daughters, one of whom later entered the palace to be Li Shimin's talent, and even later became the queen of Li Zhi, and finally became the emperor of Wu Zhou.

But now, Li Yuan has never gone to Hedong to work. Although he served as a taishou in Loufu in his early years, Wu Shi Tong was still selling timber in Luoyang at that time, and later, Wu Shi Tong became the team leader, but Li Yuan never returned to Hedong. Wu Shi Tong did not meet Li Yuan again, but met Wang Junkuo, who was running for Luo Cheng, and since then he has been in Luo Cheng's camp.

"Where are you from?" Li Shimin asked.

"I'm from Taiyuan City."

In a word, the faces of the Tang generals and colonies in the hall changed.

"Taiyuan?"

"That's right, Taiyuan, when I came from Taiyuan, my emperor was in Jinyang Palace."

At this moment, Li Shimin's face turned pale.

"Impossible, Luo Cheng can fly or not, Jing Cheng is dangerous, he flew over?" One will not be able to hold back the accusation.

Samurai just smiled, then took out a letter and handed it over.

"What is this?"

"General Zhao Er's handwritten letter from his brother Li Jin, the general can take a look."

Li Shimin took the letter, read it again, and confirmed that it was indeed Li Jin's letter, and the content of the letter made him panic.

"It must be a forged letter." Li Shimin shook his head and threw the letter aside.

Samurai Yan didn't care, "I also have a gift here, which my emperor specially asked me to send to the general." ”

A box is served.

Several Tang Army soldiers stepped forward to carefully inspect it, and finally opened it.

When the box opened, the people couldn't help but let out exclamations.

"What is it?"

Li Shimin asked.

He strode down, his gaze swept into the box, and he was stunned.

There are three human heads in the box, soaked in mercury and lifelike.

He recognized the head in the box at a glance.

Isn't the one in the middle, with an old face, his uncle Wang Yu? He is also the father-in-law of the eldest brother.

Not long ago, Wang Yu also brought his son, nephew and wife and daughter to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven, Li Yuan also gave him the title of Duke of Wei and gave him the post of assassin of the state.

On both sides of Wang Yu, Wang Renbiao on the left, Wang Renyou on the right, one is a son and the other is a nephew, two young talents, known as the young Shuangjie of the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan, but now they have all been cut off.

"Luo Chengan dares to do this!"

Li Shimin was furious.

Wu Shiyan stood there but just said, "My emperor drove to Taiyuan in person, and people of insight abandoned the darkness to join the emperor one after another, such as the guards of Weize Pass and Jingcheng Pass, all of whom opened the city and surrendered. There are also such as Xiao Gong of Taiyuan, but also with Taiyuan Wen and other cities to attach, but Qi County Wang Yu led his nephews and relatives, stubbornly resisted, did not know the current affairs, and finally lost his life, but also pulled more than 20,000 Taiyuan soldiers and civilians to accompany the funeral, before yesterday's death also set fire to half of Taiyuan City, my emperor was furious, so I ordered the Yi Wang Yu whole clan, now I am ordered to send these three heads to General Li Er, is to convey the words of my emperor, know the times for Junjie, Ru Li family father and son surrender as soon as possible, then he also looks at the face of Li Guifei, Protect your wealth, otherwise, Wang Yu and his son will be the fate of your Li family's father and son. ”

Li Shimin drew his sword in his hand.

"Does General Li Er dare to kill me? If you dare to kill me today, my emperor will destroy your Li family one day, I am the angel of Great Qin! ”

Li Shimin grabbed the collar of the warrior with one hand, but in the end he just pushed him away.

"Luo Cheng is also known as a hero, but he has made such a famous move to punish the Shi clan, isn't he afraid that the world will spurn it?"

"General Li Er is not also known as benevolence and righteousness, but why did he slaughter the soldiers and civilians of Huoyi City? The two armies were fighting, and they were originally plotting their own tricks, General Li Er didn't notice that he was ambushed, but he still wanted to take his anger on the people, how could he be a righteous man and a gentleman? ”

Li Shimin turned around.

Raised his body, "You can go back and tell Luo Cheng that when the heavy rain stops, I will lead the army to attack Taiyuan, let him wait!" ”

Samurai was driven out of Huoyi.

Li Shimin immediately ordered, "The whole army is ready to face Luo Cheng here." ”

Some generals immediately persuaded, "We came from afar, originally to enter Taiyuan, and to use Jingcheng and other natural dangers to prevent the Qin army from outside the dangerous fortress, but now Luo Cheng has entered Taiyuan, and there are not even casualties, and his strength has increased instead of decreasing." And now our army's rear grain road has been cut off, and the people in this vicinity are afraid of me, there is no food and no danger, only a small Huoyi, I am afraid that Luo Cheng will not be able to stop Luo Cheng at all, it is better to retreat to the big city to defend. ”

But Li Shimin shook his head.

"You can't retreat, and once you retreat, it's even more difficult to stop Luo Cheng. Although Huoyi is small, but the city is strong and dangerous, guarding the dangerous road of the Bird Mouse Valley, although our army cannot immediately counterattack Taiyuan, but we cannot let Luo Cheng take advantage of the situation to go south. ”

After this Huoyi, the south is the plain basin of Yima Pingchuan along the Fen River, which is not guarded here, and it is even more difficult to defend the south.

"However, since Luo Cheng has captured Taiyuan, then he can also attack Changping under the party, detour behind us, and then the north and south will attack, and we will be wrapped up here."

"We can't retreat, we have to fight him!" Li Shimin insisted.

The generals and colonels retired.

Li Shimin stood alone in the hall, looking down at the heads of his uncle and cousin.

"Uncle, cousin, you go all the way."

All the generals persuaded him to withdraw his troops, but Li Shimin knew that if he withdrew, he was afraid that he would never be able to stop it anymore.

At that time, the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty competed for the world, and the Eastern Wei Dynasty was strong and strong, occupying the richest Guandong region, while Yuwentai only occupied a corner of Guanlong, but in the end, the Western Wei Dynasty seized the opportunity to cross the Yellow River eastward, and skillfully seized the Shao County in the east of the Hedong and entered the Hedong.

After that, the Western Wei Dynasty took Yubi City in the southwest of Jishan in Hedong County as a base, occupied Emei Plain, and forced Gao Huan to take the initiative twice to take the initiative, resulting in two major defeats, which changed the strategic situation of both sides.

Li Shimin didn't plan to immediately give up Xihe and Jiangjun and retreat to Hedong County, he wanted to drag Luo Cheng here and bring down Luo Cheng.

Night.

Huoyi City is peaceful.

Suddenly, fires broke out everywhere, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

"Qin army raid!"

"Enemy attack!"

"The Qin army is here!"

Li Shimin, who had just fallen asleep, got up in his clothes, not even in his armor, and came out with a sword, and saw that there were fires everywhere in Huoyi City, and the streets were full of Qin troops in red robes.

"How did they get in?" Li Shimin roared angrily.

March 13 of the second year of the Great Qin Kaiyuan.

General Qu Tutong led the elite cavalry to quietly attack Huoyi at night out of the Bird Mouse Valley, and the defenders opened the city gate to lead the Qin army into the city, the Tang army was in chaos, Li Shimin did not have time to put on his armor, drew his sword and fought in the long street, and was captured with all his strength!

Most of the 50,000 Tang troops under his command scattered and fled, and nearly half surrendered to the Qin army.
