A few days passed in a blink of an eye, during which Li Bo received two pieces of news from Li Shimin, one was that Gao Deru of Xihe County was hacked and killed by him and Li Jiancheng, and it only took nine days to send troops back and forth, which reached Li Bo's requirements within ten days.

It can be seen that when Li Yuan was not proclaimed emperor, the brothers were still harmonious, and they worked together on the road to Li Yuan's proclamation of the emperor.

The second is that Li Yuan's army soon approached Song Laosheng in Huoyi, and there were several problems in Song Laosheng, the weather was not conducive to fighting, the grain and grass could not keep up, and the most important thing was that there were rumors that Liu Wuzhou and the Turks were going to attack Taiyuan!

At that time, Pei Lin advocated returning to Taiyuan, and Xu Tu was backward, but Li Shimin disagreed, he thought that Song Laosheng was just an insignificant horseman, brave and unstrategic, but Li Yuan chose to follow Pei Lian's idea and planned to withdraw to Taiyuan first and then make plans.

Li Shimin remembered that Liu Wenjing used his life to calculate for their Li family, and the explanation before leaving, he knelt in the rain for two hours that night, and finally moved Li Yuan and agreed to take a risk.

Li Shimin suggested that Li Yuan take hundreds of cavalry, set up an ambush in the east of Huoyi City, Yin Kaishan to lead the rear army, and he himself took dozens of cavalry to Huoyi City to scold and fight.

Song Laosheng really impulsively led the army into battle, Duan Zhixuan immediately led the cavalry to attack Song Laosheng's formation, and Yin Kaishan attacked the back of Song Laosheng's army.

Li Yuan rushed to the city gate with hundreds of cavalry and shouted: "Song Laosheng has been captured!" Song Laosheng's soldiers heard that their leaders were arrested, panicked for a while, and scrambled to return to the city, Li Shimin had led dozens of cavalry to block the city gate to the death, Song Laosheng could not enter, in a hurry, turned around and fled, was chased and killed by Liu Hongji, so far Li Yuan captured Huoyi.

Li Shimin is worthy of being a generation of emperors, and he is simply overwhelming!

Qu Tutong, after receiving the news that Li Yuan's army was approaching Tongguan, immediately asked Yao Junsu to defend Hedong, and crossed the Yellow River with a large group of men and horses overnight, wanting to snipe Li Yuan at Tongguan.

Who didn't know that when he just arrived in Nancheng, the capital of Tongguan Guancheng, in addition to his son, Liu Wenjing on Li Yuan's side, and Shunde, the eldest grandson who was released by Qu Tushou, came out to greet him.

Qu Tutong, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is not good. Sure enough, after Qu Tushou on Guancheng saw his father, he began to persuade his father to surrender.

In fact, what Qu Tushou did was completely in line with the inevitable trend of history, but Qu Tutong at that time was loyal to Yang Guang and refused to surrender.

Qu Tutong shouted to the people in the city: "The food of the king's Lu bears the king's worries, I, Qu Tutong, as a veteran of the two dynasties, have been blessed by the Great Sui State, and now the court is in the autumn of life and death, how can I surrender!" If Shou'er does not repent, then the relationship between father and son will be extinct, and he will be an enemy from now on! ”

Qu Tushou on the city is also a very stubborn person, and it is difficult to change the things that he has identified, in fact, it is the same as Qu Tutong, he shouted to the city: "The soldiers are in danger of the Great Sui, only Tang Gong holds high the banner of righteousness on the side of Qingjun, let us follow Tang Gong to fight to the end and pacify the world!" ”

"Don't be a rebel! Archers ready! Qu Tutong yelled.

I saw the archers beside him bending their bows and arrows, and their bows were like a full moon, ready to release their arrows.

"Don't be a rebel! Let me ask again, do you open the gates or not?! Qu Tutong's forehead was bruised, his hair rushed to the crown, and he pointed at Qu Tushou on the top of the city tower with trembling fingers and shouted.

Li Bo, who was also on the city wall, took a step back, made a defensive posture, looked at Qu Tushou, and couldn't help sighing, if he was not destined to die early, I am afraid that Qu Tushou would also be a fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, although it is said that there is no father and son on the battlefield, but in this history, more or less Li Bo feels that he pushed Qu Tushou to a dead end.

"Daddy! The times are indisputable! Qu Tushou did not retreat, and moved closer to the edge of the city wall, looking at his father.

"Shoot the arrow!!" Qu Tutong's eyes were red, and he made the most difficult decision in his life with tears in his eyes.

"Shield!!" Li Bo, who knows history, shouted! But as far as the eye could see, Qu Tushou did not use a shield to protect himself.

A "poof" sounded, and Qu Tushou was hit by an arrow and fell backwards. Li Bo held the shield and helped him up.

Qu Tushou was pierced by an arrow, grabbed Li Bo's hand tightly and said: "Brother Liu, my father is a very stubborn person, I'm afraid that ordinary means can't make him surrender, my death can fulfill my father's loyal life, and I hope that Brother Liu will not hurt my father on the battlefield." After speaking, his hand was out of breath as soon as he let go.

Li Bo's heart was heavy, although the history was corrected, but this matter was from his hands, after the rain of arrows, the body was passed down with a rope, and it was in the hands of Qu Tutong, and the veteran seemed to be a few years older at this time.

Li Bo shouted from the city wall: "Uncle Qu Tu, Brother Qu Tu has fulfilled your loyalty with his life, and from now on we will meet each other in arms until one side is defeated!" Archers, prepare! Shoot the arrows! ”

The words fell, Li Bo fought a counterattack, the rain of arrows shot towards Qu Tutong's army, Qu Tutong ordered the army to retreat, after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, although he was sad, but he saw that Liu Wenjing was highly vigilant, occupying the momentum of defending the city, and he came from afar, whether it was the number of personnel or physical strength, he chose to camp five miles away, waiting for Liu Wenjing to slack off and then launch a surprise attack, after all, Liu Wenjing is a civilian official, Qu Tutong thinks that Liu Wenjing is inferior to him in leading the troops.

The confrontation between the two armies lasted for nearly half a month, Qu Tutong was stunned and didn't find any slack in Liu Wenjing, what he couldn't imagine was that Li Bo and other members of the dragon group had undergone very harsh training before joining the dragon group, and the wait for half a month was not at all psychological pressure for Li Bo, not to mention that in this half a month, being able to drag Qu Tutong won a lot of time for Li Shimin's father and son to march into the army, and finally came to the vicinity of Tongguan!

At the same time, Li Bo also gave the eldest grandson Shunde a brainwashing class for half a month, and gave him a chicken blood, making this guy feel that the tiger can fight in front of him! Because there is a very important task to be handed over to him next, there is no room for mistakes, and if he doesn't do it well, he won't be able to correct the history of the eldest grandson Shunde.

Seeing that half a month has passed, and Li Yuan's army has come to the vicinity of Tongguan, the vicinity is now immovable, but if Li Yuan and Liu Wenjing form a flanking attack, it will be dangerous!

As for Li Yuan's lack of movement, Li Bo could think about what was going on.

On that side, Li Yuan's military camp was arguing, Pei Lin advocated eliminating Qu Tutong's forces and then marching into Chang'an, Li Shimin resolutely believed that the troops should be fast, and directly bypass and attack Chang'an, and time is not waiting. As a close friend of Li Yuan, Pei Lin often disagreed with Li Shimin since the beginning of the uprising, perhaps this is also the reason why Li Shimin does not treat him in the future, and the so-called words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

Li Yuan fell into a hesitant situation again, in fact, he often hesitated, that was his style.

Li Shimin saw that his father's old problem had been committed again, so he hurriedly prepared a dog skin plaster, oh, no, it was Liu Wenjing's clever plan for him in advance, with two words written on it: divide the troops.

On the one hand, Li Yuan listened to Pei Lian's suggestion and left some soldiers and horses to listen to Liu Wenjing's dispatch, and on the other hand, as Li Shimin said, he marched to Chang'an in a hurry.

Seeing that Li Yuan's army began to withdraw from the camp, Li Bo knew that this battle was nearing the end.
