Hedong, Linfen County.

Under the city of Huoyi.

The white flag fluttered under the gate.

A soldier rode his horse to the bottom of the city.

"King Zhao has arrived, speed up the city!"

Seki Castle.

It was also a white flag, and a defender came out and asked someone to throw the seal letter into a basket and hang it for inspection.

After a long time, the door finally opened slowly.

An official in the city of Guancheng wearing a crimson cloak on the outside and bright light armor on the inside came out to greet him.

"Xiaguan Linfen County Cheng Gao Deru didn't know that King Zhao had arrived, so he was late to greet him, and forgive his sins."

Under the red and white flags, Li Shimin looked at Gao Deru.

"Why are you holding on to the castle?"

"Recently, many bandits who have been recruited before are ready to move, many of them are instigated by the pseudo-Qin and are about to make chaos, and the soldiers and horses of my Linfen County have been sent out to suppress the bandits and settle the place, so there are few soldiers in the city, so I have to be cautious."

Li Shimin listened to it, but felt that this Gao Juncheng was quite reliable.

"These capricious bandits and villains, after I enter Taiyuan to stabilize the situation in Hedong, I will send troops to sweep them away one by one."

Gao Deru welcomed Li Shimin into the city.

"Let the army be stationed outside the city, Gao Juncheng, and immediately supply grain and grass."

Sending troops from Tongguan, Feng Yi crossed the Yellow River from Pujin Bridge, landed at Puban in Hedong County, and marched all the way. After crossing the river, it took only nine days to pass through Hedong County, Jiang County and most of Linfen County one after another, and came to Huoyi, the border of Linfen and Xihe County.

Now Li Shimin just wants to take a hot bath, change into clean and comfortable clothes, eat a warm meal, and then sleep well, and continue to travel to Taiyuan tomorrow.

Huoyi City is not large, so Li Shimin left tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and only brought some officers and light cavalry into the city to prevent soldiers from disturbing the people.

"Soldiers and horses are stationed outside the city, and anyone who dares to go out of the camp to disturb the people will be killed!"

Li Shimin explained to the generals who stayed behind.

Since the Li family started the army, it can be said that it has been very difficult, trying to survive in the cracks. Especially now that the Li family has replaced the Yang family in the Tang Dynasty, in order to be able to take advantage of the situation more, the Li family's banner even uses red and white, red represents the past Great Sui, and white is the most respected color of the Turks.

And the addition of white is to show goodwill to the Turks, hoping to borrow the Turkic strong reinforcements.

After all, Luo Cheng's strength is too strong, and Li Yuan's current strength is still too different.

This time when they entered Hedong, the Li family father and son made up their minds to use Yang Yichen's death to completely swallow Hedong into their stomachs and firmly hold it in their hands, so Li Shimin attaches great importance to military discipline, and at this time he must do a good job of image to win the hearts of the people of Hedong.

Riding a horse and walking on the streets of Huoyi City, Li Shimin was a little absent-minded, he was thinking about how to fight this battle in Luo Cheng's large-scale invasion of Hedong this time.

Fortunately, Taiyuan City is connected by three cities, the city is strong and dangerous, although the world has been turbulent in recent years, but fortunately, Taiyuan City has not been captured by rebels and bandits once.

It can be said that if the Li family gets Taiyuan, they will be able to occupy the high ground in Hedong, so that they can resist the Qin army of Fanyang and Mayi in the north, so that they can not go down, and then they can find a way to defeat the Qin army in Henan.

If you want to defeat the Qin army in Henan, it is definitely not enough to rely on the current Tang Dynasty, you have to unite with Xiao Mo of Jianghan, and finally pull Lin Shihong and Shen Faxing from Jiangnan to work together.

Only when a few families work together to take Luo Cheng's Henan, Huainan, and Shandong first, can it be possible to make Luo Cheng no longer able to override each other.

Huoyi's city gate slowly closed behind him.

Gao Deru was quietly retreating.

Zhang Gongjin frowned, looked around, and found that there were many figures, and the situation was wrong.

"Gao Deru!"

Zhang Gongjin roared.

Gao Deru panicked, drew his sword and came out, "Do it, there are those who capture and kill Li Shimin, whether they live or die, they will be rewarded with a thousand gold!" ”

Suddenly, countless arrows were shot in all directions.

"King Zhao, there is an ambush!"

Zhang Gongjin yelled while taking off the shield on his horse and jumped in front of Li Shimin's horse to block him.

All of King Zhao's guards also moved closer to this side.

Arrows rained down.

In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers of King Zhao will arrive.

At this time, shouts of killing broke out, and the Huoyi County soldiers of the brigade came out in all directions, and on the long street, there was a scuffle.

"Gao Deru, dare to betray Tang?"

Li Shimin held a shield to block arrows on the one hand, and slashed left and right with a sword on the other.

Gao Deru had already retreated to the back, standing behind a group of spearmen, and said with a sneer, "I, Gao Deru, was originally a Sui minister, when did I become a minister of your Tang family?" Although Yang Shuai is dead now, we will not descend to your Li family. Let me tell you, we have returned to Daqin, and today, we are going to take your life. ”

"Look for death!"

Li Shimin was furious.

Dugu Yanyun, the captain of the pro-soldier school, took out a Ming Di from his quiver and shot it into the air.

The sound of the arrow made a sharp sound.

One after the other, he fired arrows, and all nine chirping arrows were fired.

Outside the city.

Liu Shili, Gongsun Wuda, Li Mengwei, and Zheng Rentai heard the shouts of killing in the city, and heard several arrows rising into the air, and their faces all changed greatly.

"Damn, it must be Gao Deru who is rebelling, follow me to attack the city!"

The war drums rumbled, and they didn't care about the arrangement of troops, the four generals let people beat the war drums and blow the horns, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded Huoyi City and launched a siege like a swarm.

Although there was no preparation, the 50,000 horses and horses attacked together, and it was still extremely violent.

It's just that at this time, the gate of Huoyi City was closed, and the suspension bridge was also pulled up, although the city was not big, but it was dangerous, and it was difficult to capture for a while.

Outside the city, only shouts of killing were heard in the city, but it was still difficult to enter the city.

Liu Shili, who was in a hurry, jumped to his feet.

Li Mengwei even held a big knife in his mouth, holding a big shield and stepping on a simple ladder to climb up.

······

Two hours later.

Liu Shili finally jumped onto the head of Huoyi City.

More and more Tang troops jumped onto the city, and the Huoyi defenders could no longer resist and retreated into the city in defeat.

·······

"Your Highness?"

"Dashuai!"

"King Zhao!"

Gongsun Wuda led people to kill and disperse the Huoyi soldiers, and finally found Li Shimin in a courtyard.

"I'm not dead yet!"

Li Shimin came out with a knife covered in blood, although he was not dead, but he was wounded in several places, and most of the blood on his body was his own.

And the 200 guards and dozens of generals he brought into the city, but less than 20 people died.

If they hadn't escaped into this courtyard, hid in the underground secret room, and dragged on to the secret passage for a long time, Li Shimin and the others would definitely have died no matter how powerful they were.

"What about Gao Deru?"

"Retreat to the county yazhong!" Li Mengwei, who was covered in blood, replied.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, "Slaughter Huo Yi for me!" ”

Liu Shili, who was red-eyed, immediately turned around and walked out, "King Zhao has an order, slaughter Huoyi City, and don't leave chickens and dogs!" ”

In the second year of Qin Kaiyuan, March 9.

Li Shimin, the king of Tang Zhao, was ambushed in the city of Huoyi, with several wounds in his body, and his own guards were killed and wounded, Li Shimin was furious and ordered the whole city to be slaughtered.

On that day, more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians in Huoyi City were slaughtered, and no chickens and dogs were left.

After the massacre, Li Shimin led his troops to continue north to Taiyuan.
