014 Li Siyuan
Pujia's rebellion put Li Keyong's plan to attack Chang'an on hold for the time being, but the soldiers and horses of the other feudal towns did not know that there was such a thing as Pujia, and they continued to attack Chang'an fiercely.
The advanced Chang'an is the king, this is the agreement between His Majesty Li Tang and the big guy at the beginning.
Heavy troops were assembled outside Chang'an City, all of whom were soldiers who were preparing to attack Chang'an to receive a generous reward. Some of the soldiers stood inside, looking at the majestic capital in the distance, the largest city in the world, which they had never seen in their lifetimes.
"Captain, this Chang'an City is really big, many miles bigger than the Luoyang Mansion I've seen."
"Han seed, stand in line. Let the general see it, don't blame me for cutting off your dog's head. ”
The axeman standing in the front row spoke to the captain behind him and was scolded.
At this time, not far away, the crowd was crowded, making way for a way, a man and a horse walked to the front of the queue, the blue and white horse snorted a deep nose, and a person on the horseback held a bright silver spear in his hand, wearing a dark lion's head armor.
"Brothers, glory and riches are just around the corner, and you will enter the city, gold and silver treasures, women's wine, everything, do you want it?"
"Yes." The uniform sound resounded in the open space five miles from the northwest gate of Chang'an.
"Those who go up to the city wall first will be promoted to three levels, and the two who kill the enemy will be upgraded to one level, and the military merit is right in front of you, so do you want to use your life to fight for the future?"
"Yes."
……
Li Keyong stood on the tower of his camp gate, looked at everything outside the northwest gate of Chang'an, and asked the people around him, "Who is this person?" ”
"Back to Dashuai, this person is the former bald turban's general, Zhu Wen, who later attached to the Tang Dynasty."
"Oh! Fighting the old master, working so hard. Looking at this person today, there is the spirit of a hegemon, and he will definitely dominate one side in the future. ”
The military advisor Sahan answered: "Marshal, it is rumored that this person is strict in the army, but he treats his subordinates well, and his soldiers respect him very much. It is very appealing, and it is because his subordinates have no food and grass that they defected to the Tang Army. ”
"Pay close attention to this person, find out where he is from, and who is in the family?"
"Yes!"
"By the way, call Si Yuan."
After a while, Li Siyuan came to the camp gate.
"I've seen my father."
"Yuan'er, here. Get up. ”
"It's my father."
"Come here, come to me."
Li Siyuan walked to the edge of the building, and was hugged by Li Keyong's shoulders, Li Keyong pointed to Zhu Wen in the distance and said, "Do you see that person?" ”
I don't know what Li Ke meant, he nodded and said, "The child saw it." ”
"This person's name is Zhu Wen, he used to be a yellow turban, and now he belongs to the Tang Dynasty, that is, our Shatuo's ally, but you remember that there are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies. Remember this person. ”
"The child remembers." Li Siyuan didn't know why Li Keyong said this, but he could only nod his head in response, thinking that his father-in-law might have any special intentions, but he couldn't understand it now, so he went back to ask his teacher for advice.
"Now, I will give you 3,000 cavalry, but you can't ride horses, you can only be infantry, and attack the north gate, but I won't give you any fate, you must capture the city gate, as long as you involve a part of the enemy army for me."
"Father, if you give me more soldiers and horses, I will definitely be the first to take the North Gate."
"No, no, you remember for me, just make a feint, take it down when you see the blue flag, and then rest for half an hour, and then give me a feint. Remember to pull down the blue flag when you see it to reduce casualties. Got it? ”
"Father?" Li Siyuan still wants to fight for it.
"Got it!" Li Ke looked at Li Siyuan with a solemn face and said again.
"Got it!" Li Siyuan saw that Li Keyong's face was pale, so he had to give up.
"Go down and prepare, and attack the city in half an hour."
"Yes!"
Li Keyong looked at the towering Chang'an City in front of him, his eyes were a little moist, his father brought him here, and his father was no longer by his side after many years, he was seriously ill and bedridden, and he had reached the age of destiny.
……
"Knock, knock, knock......"
Bursts of drums rang out around Chang'an City. This was agreed upon by the coalition army, and at the end of the morning, the drums were sounded together as a signal for the siege.
"Kill~"
The surging tide rushed towards Chang'an City, as if it wanted to take off the entire Chang'an City in one go.
In Chang'an City, soldiers and horses walked back and forth on the road, every household closed the door, the family gathered in a room, looking at the sky helplessly, praying that the war would end soon, Chang'an City had experienced a siege not long ago, for this city that has not had a war for a hundred years, how strange the war is, and how fresh the memory.
Most of the people in the city experienced the siege of Huangchao last time, because of the panic of Emperor Li Tang to escape, and the rapid arrival of the Huangchao army, in the city to arrest Li Tang and above the three grades of the Beijing officials, the people are panicked.
Then a few days later, Huang Chao issued a decree after decree to restore order in Chang'an City, and the people in the city returned to their old lives and lived a peaceful life.
This time the Tang army's counterattack, I heard that it invited foreigners, and these foreigners will treat themselves like the last time the Great Qi Army, which makes many people feel impossible. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
Many young and strong young people picked up weapons and went to the city wall under the clamor of the Great Qi government, or helped carry all kinds of stones and gold juice.
……
The siege battle was in full swing, and the stones and arrows on the city wall were shot down from time to time, killing and injuring the people surging under the city. The crying and shouting shook the sky.
At the same time, many arrows and stones were fired onto the city walls by the soldiers under the city, and blood flowed and cries continued to flow wherever they passed.
"Major General, look at the blue flag."
The adjutant general grabbed Li Siyuan, who was about to climb the ladder to the city wall, and only showed him.
"Withdraw, withdraw. The men who covered the walls came down. ”
Li Siyuan commanded the soldiers to retreat, but when they attacked the city wall, the soldiers who were fighting fiercely had no one to cover them, and they could not retreat from the city wall, so they had to hold the ladder with both hands and slip down.
The soldiers and horses of the Great Qi on the city wall saw that the Tang army was retreating, and then cheered, forgetting to shoot the retreating Tang army.
The other men and horses on the city wall heard the cheers from this side, and in the fierce battle, they stole to look this way.
Li Siyuan, who was full of dissatisfaction, was covered in blood, strode up to Li Keyong, and said: "Why withdraw at this time, we have all attacked the city wall, give me another hour, I will definitely be able to take the city wall." ”
After saying that, he threw down the knife in his hand dissatisfied, touched the blood of his companion on his body, and his eyes were full of tears.
Li Keyong looked at the righteous son in front of him and said: "Once you will succeed, you will be able to achieve ten thousand bones, and those who will achieve great things should not be bound by these lives, but be ruthless." Only if you are more ruthless will you be able to defeat all enemies. ”
As he spoke, Li Ke bent down to pick up the knife thrown by Li Siyuan, this was when Li Siyuan worshiped Li Keyong as his father-in-law, Li Ke used the wide mouth long knife given to him by the big cannibal, which was different from the Tang knife.
"If you think you can't continue to command the battle, I'll let Li Cunzhang go, and you go down and rest."
"No, I don't. Children can. Li Siyuan heard that Li Keyong wanted Li Cunzhang to go, this brother-in-law who was several years younger than himself could always get the love of his father-in-law, and he gave him everything first, so that his jealous heart burned with fire.
Li Keyong knew that Li Siyuan and Li Cunzhang were fighting in private, so he also encouraged Li Siyuan, don't let go of his anger at this time.
Seeing Li Siyuan walking out of the camp with a knife, Li Keyong said to Yang Deshan: "Mr. Yang, what do you think of this child?" ”
Yang Deshan looked at Li Siyuan's background who was walking away with a knife, and his heart was excited, and he had a strong feeling that this child would do something unexpected in the future.
"General Yuan is a kind-hearted person, and the two righteous sons of the handsome are both people who value love and righteousness."
While Yang Deshan praised Li Siyuan again, he also praised Li Cunzhang by the way, striving for a good impression on Li Cunzhang.
"Haha, Cunzhang needless to say, this kid doesn't have any heart, but Siyuan, this kid doesn't like to talk much since he was a child, and he doesn't show what he wants in front of me, so he is always a little restrained. is not as free and easy as Cunzhang, this child saw his parents killed, and he joined the army at the age of 13, which is really pitiful. ”
"I didn't expect General Yuan's life to be so bumpy. Heaven descends on the people, and they must first suffer their minds. General Yuan will surely grow into a great general who stands alone. After hearing Li Siyuan's life experience, Yang Deshan sighed that everyone is not born so easy.
"Si Yuan came out with me this time, and he has reached the age when he should marry a wife, and when the war is over this time, he will find a family for him and start a family. It's up to you to be the matchmaker of the military advisor. Hahaha. Li Keyong said to the military advisor Sahan.
"Haha. Marshal, is this an order, or is it a request from me? Sahan quipped: "This is my fourth time as a matchmaker, the first three times were for your generals, and this time for your adopted son, I think I'm about to be a matchmaker, hahaha." ”
Yang Deshan looked at these two people, who were not only the lord and his subordinates, but also the ridicule of ordinary friends. I wasn't sure how close their relationship was. However, from the words, it can be perceived that the relationship between the two people is not ordinary.
"Haha, of course I have a request this time. It's my child, after all. Li Ke said to Sahan with a grin, as if the two of them had switched places all of a sudden.
"Oh, oh, oh, then I'm going to be a matchmaker." Sahan straightened his waist and waited for Li Keyong to answer.
"It's easy to say, the military advisor must find a good family for my child, and I, as a father, can't treat my child badly."
"Don't worry, rest assured, as long as the matchmaker arrives, the family affair will be wrapped up in the old man." Sahan patted his chest and said.
"Okay, that's a deal."
After speaking, Li Keyong turned to the direction of Chang'an City and said, "Pass the order and let Li Siyuan attack the city." ”
In a word, Li Keyong completed the transformation in the role of father and commander.
The father's kindness and kindness did not hesitate to bow his head and say good things to the matchmaker for his son's family affairs, and begged the matchmaker to introduce a good family business to his son.
The majesty of the commander of the first army, the order is prohibited, so that his generals and soldiers must move forward in an instant knowing that the road ahead is life and death.
Yang Deshan sees everything in his eyes, this place is different from Guigu Mountain, and there are allusions to this word and deed in the books he usually learns, but this father's love and son's love can only be seen with his own eyes.
