Chapter 10: The First Encounter

The mother and son sat in the car and walked on the road for two days, this morning saw the gate of Weinan City from afar, and was about to enter the city when suddenly the city gate was opened, and two soldiers on horseback rushed out of the city gate, while galloping on the road while sounding the gong to open the way, shouting: "The army is marching, and the idle people are out of the way!" ”。 The surrounding people who were about to enter the city avoided one after another, and the handlebar type for Xiao's mother and son also drove the ox cart to the side of the road and waited. Although Xiao Zheng has a body of seventeen or eighteen years old, his real self has only been in Datang for less than a year, and his concept and impression of the ancient army are only in the records of ancient books or the Internet, and his direct impression is the Terracotta Army. When he heard that an army was passing by today, he was immediately interested.

Helped Xiao's mother to get off the station and watched on the side of the road, only to see the sound of horses' hooves in the city, and after a while, several flag bearers rode horses and held high the banners, divided into two columns and lined up from the city gate to walk out, the two big flags in front of one side were written with the word "Tang" and the word "Li" on the other. The troops lining up behind were all dressed in black and black armor, and the armor made of cowhide was also painted with black lacquer. Later, a general with a number of horsemen from the city gate also divided into two groups of soldiers, riding war horses lined up neatly walked out, at this time there were those who often do business outside the roadside to take the opportunity to show off their knowledge, to the surrounding crowd said: "Look at the road, now what comes out is our Tang Dynasty Xuanjia Army." The general who just passed by riding a war horse and holding a horse lance was Qin Shubao! At this time, someone on the side retorted: "Nonsense, how do you know that they are Xuanjia Army?" ”。 I saw the man reply: "You are just talking nonsense, when I was in Chang'an City last year, I saw His Royal Highness the King of Qin enter the city with these troops, and they were all dressed in this costume at that time, didn't you see General Qin Shubao immediately hang a pair of copper maces." At this time, someone on the side echoed: "The general we met last year just now is General Qin Shubao, and they are all warriors of His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

After Xiao Zheng listened to what that person said, his heart suddenly became excited, because he knew that it was likely that Li Shimin would come out in a while! For this Emperor of the Ages, there are many dreams and speculations about him, and now this person is likely to appear in front of him! Xiao Zheng carefully observed this famous Xuanjia army in history, and saw that these soldiers were not as bright as the armor seen in film and television works, and many people's armor was made of cowhide. Even if there are some soldiers wearing iron armor, but the armor does not protect the whole body, some soldiers' armor leaves are still broken, and even the robes have some holes, but everyone in front of the people has a kind of fortitude on their faces, the spirit of being fearless of death is revealed from the bones, and a soaring murderous aura can be seen from afar, thousands of people riding war horses except for the occasional neighing of horses and the call of the heralds running back and forth, did not make any sound, this momentum of the rest of the battle, It takes a hard fight on the battlefield to condense it! Xiao Zheng could see at a glance that these people were all fierce generals on the battlefield, and sometimes their temperament could not be pretended.

When the people of Guanzhong themselves have the heroic and belligerent style of the old Qin legacy, when they saw the army in the middle of the road walking in front of them, the people of the Tang Dynasty on the side of the road were also infected by the momentum of this army, and the people of Guanzhong saw these people going to meet Liu Wuzhou, and some bloody people shouted loudly on the side of the road: "Datang Wansheng!" Capture Liu Wuzhou alive!" When the cavalry of the Xuanjia Army came out with four or five thousand people, several more flags were held high in the city gate and galloped out from the inside, among which there was a banner with the words King Qin written on it. I saw that the two young soldiers under it were guarded by a large number of armor soldiers, and the outermost knight stood his shield on his chest. The armorer inside controls the war horse with one hand and holds the handle of the sword in the other. Those who are watching, the people around them. After seeing these people come out, the people were even more excited for a commotion, and some well-informed people in Chang'an City became louder and shouted: "Datang Wansheng!" His Royal Highness King Qin is a thousand years old! Xiao Zheng's heart became excited, there was a famous emperor through the ages in Chinese history, and he appeared in front of him alive! I saw that Li Shimin didn't have any special dress, black armor, black robe, the only difference was that the cuffs and skirt were pinched with bright yellow lines, and in this era, only the royal family could use bright yellow.

Xiao Zheng saw that Li Shimin was about 20 years old, and his face was a little black when he had been fighting all year round, but he showed a natural look of heroism, his face was not long, and his face showed fortitude and powerful aura. It's not something that ordinary twenty-year-old young people can have, and the killing spirit on the battlefield has loomed on his body, but no matter how Xiao Zheng thinks of Li Shimin, he doesn't look like a savior as mentioned in the history books.

Seeing that the people on the side of the road cheered even more, and the person who showed off his knowledge on the side was even more energetic, he proudly pointed to the two generals on the horse and said: "Have you seen it, the one on the left hand is His Royal Highness King Qin, this time he brought out all the men and horses of the Xuanjia Army, it is estimated that Liu Wuzhou will be unlucky!" Wherever Li Shimin went, the cheers of the people there were a little higher. When Li Shimin passed by Xiao Zheng's mother and son, Xiao Zheng did not cheer with the crowd, but just watched Li Shimin quietly. Li Shimin felt that someone was looking at him, so he looked at Xiao Zheng's mother and son, the eyes of the two people were paired, Xiao Zheng did not avoid it like other people, he still quietly looked at Li Shimin and smiled at him, Li Shimin was slightly stunned, but he did not stop and still walked forward, at this time a young general next to Li Shimin who was about the same age as him obviously felt his change and asked: "Second brother, what's wrong with you, what did you see?" ”

Unexpectedly, when the young general asked Li Shimin, it was a female voice, Li Shimin shook his head and said to himself: "No, how is it possible!" I saw the young general next to him and then asked Li Shimin: "Second brother, is there anything wrong?" You're so anxious! Li Shimin looked back at the young general, bowed his mouth in the direction of Xiao Zheng's mother and son, and said, "Which young man who is two or three years younger than me doesn't look like a person?" I saw that the female general replied: "I really didn't pay attention to this", said and glanced back at Xiao Zheng, the eyes of the two people were together, Xiao Zheng obviously felt that this was a woman with the intuition of a doctor, Hua Mulan He had heard of it, but the women who really went to the battlefield were only a handful in Chinese history, especially the women who dared to follow Li Shimin to the battlefield. Xiao Zheng couldn't help but be stunned, just when he wanted to take a closer look at this woman's appearance, the female general obviously felt Xiao Zheng's doubts, his face turned red, and he quickly turned his head to Li Shimin and said: "I don't think he looks like anyone, I feel like a disciple."

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth rose slightly and said: "Maybe I think too much, when I looked at this person just now, if he wasn't younger than me, I thought he was a master of the world, he seemed to have a kind of eyes that stood outside the world and understood everything, and obviously felt that he was different from others, his eyes were calm and revealing a kind of arrogance, he reminded me of a person", the female general asked the general: "Then who does he look like?" ”

A few painful expressions appeared on Li Shimin's face, he slowly closed his eyes and said after a while: "Third sister, do you feel that he is like a person who died a few years ago?" I saw that the female general hesitated for a moment and replied, "Are you talking about Mr. Liu Wenjing?" At this time, the female general suddenly looked up and thought about it before saying: "Don't say it, his eyes are really similar to Mr. Liu!" Li Shimin's eyes did not open, he sat on the horse, still moving forward by the war horse. And there is another person in my mind - my best friend Liu Wenjing, the most reliable partner since I started the army, Mr. Liu's posture is handsome and talented, but he is suave by nature, when Jinyang raised the army, his father Li Yuan praised Mr. Liu for being a man who was a man who was scheming and scheming, and Chrysostom Shuoshuo said to Mr. Liu that he would "forgive two deaths", just because he drank too much wine and complained a few words, and was told by the concubine to be a rebel, when he knelt in front of his father and wanted to use "the birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden" When he begged his father to let Mr. Liu live, he didn't expect Li Yuan to take a bow from the weapon rack and say to himself: "There are all good bows, and it is not a pity to fold one." Even if he has a world-class talent, he can't save Mr. Zhaoren! Once he was falsely accused, his whole family was executed, and even his two sons were killed. It was because of his uncle Pei Lin that he was framed, and his father did not hesitate to behead Liu Wenjing to show the public. I don't know what to think that it was just Li Yuan who killed Liu Wenjing, but in fact, a discerning person knew at a glance that it was his father who did it to him, and killing Liu Wenjing was equivalent to cutting off one of his shoulders.

Now that Liu Wuzhou invaded Jinyang, his father did not directly give him an order to go on the expedition, but Tang Jian sent a letter of handwriting, which actually read: "The thief is so powerful, it is difficult to compete with him, it is better to abandon the land east of the river and only defend the west of the Guanxi." "This is obviously agitating the general, it is my father who has returned my Li Shimin to play with his heart, Jinyang is the place where my Li family is prosperous, how can I say that I will lose it, I have to take the initiative to ask for orders to send troops after I have been wronged, and what is even more hateful is to clean up the mess left by Pei Lian, the original murderer who killed Mr. Liu, in Jinyang! Mr. Zhaoren didn't follow the law, Pei Lianquen was too much, but it's a pity that the Si people have passed away! Thinking of this, Li Shimin sighed and slowly opened his eyes. The female general walking next to Li Shimin obviously felt Li Shimin's emotions and said to Li Shimin: "In retrospect, he does have a few looks-in-arms with Mr. Liu. Li Shimin replied: "This is impossible, Mr. Liu has done things all his life in a bright and upright manner." I saw the female general reply: "It's just that this person's eyes are still a little frivolous, and I still feel that he looks like a disciple when he looks at me."
