Li Shimin led the remnants of his defeated army on the way back to Chang'an, he looked behind, the broken battle flags, the tired wounded soldiers, the scarred horses, the whole team was depressed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info and the military newspaper in the rear also said that Xue Ju built a wall of the corpses of the dead in the war to boost morale, and after the soldiers heard about it, their morale was even more depressed, and many people remembered their dead brothers and relatives, and at night, there was a cry in the barracks, and a stretcher walked in front of Li Shimin, and he saw Li Yuanba covered in bandages:

"Second brother!"

"Don't get up! Lie down! Seeing that Li Yuanba was about to get up, Li Shimin hurriedly pressed Li Yuanba:

"Third brother! If you have a wound, don't get up, take care of it! "Li Shimin watched Li Yuanba's stretcher go away in frustration, and the thoughts in his heart were rushing like waves. Li Shimin! Li Shimin! In vain, your own heart is higher than the sky, but even that little Xue Ju can't calm down. What else are you talking about, what else are you talking about? Thinking about it, he raised the sword in his hand and slowly drew it: "Shimin, as long as this happens, you will be freed." Li Shimin was about to wipe his neck, but his arm was stopped by a powerful force:

"Shimin, what are you doing here?"

"Yes! Cousin, the green mountains are here, don't be afraid of no firewood, you must not do stupid things! "It was Li Shimin's cousins Dou Yan and Chai Shao who stopped Li Shimin from committing suicide. Especially Chai Shao, his hand grabbed Li Shimin's sword, and the blood kept flowing.

"Brother Chai Shao, Yan'er! Just let me die! So many good men died in a foreign land, it's all my fault, I really have no shame to say goodbye to my father in Guanzhong! ”

"Brother Shimin! Since ancient times, famous generals who did not suffer defeat first, and later succeeded, you must not take yourself lightly! Dou Yan also persuaded:

"Cousin! This defeat is all about me, if it weren't for my youth and vigor, I couldn't stand the excitement of Xue Rengao, how could I have caused so many soldiers to die on the battlefield! Even if I want to apologize, it's me! Dou Yan said, about to pull out his saber and stick it into his stomach, Chai Shao's eyes were quick, and he quickly kicked Dou Yan and kicked his saber away:

"I said Dou Gongzi, don't make trouble." Li Shimin knew in his heart that the defeat this time was not Dou Yan, during his recuperation, all the affairs in the army were in charge of Yuanba, if it wasn't for Li Yuanba's insistence on going to war that day, Dou Yan, Yin Kaishan and others persuaded to no avail, and later because he was besieged in order to rescue Li Yuanba, everything was not his fault. At the time of the stalemate, a shout resolved the current situation:

"Shimin, Chai Shao, Brother Dou Yan!"

"It's Mowgli brother! Brother Mowgli, we're here! "The eldest grandson Wuji saw the scene here:

"Shimin, what's going on?"

"Brother Mowgli! This thing。。。。。。 Dou Yan was about to speak, but was interrupted by the eldest grandson Wuji:

"I didn't ask you! Shimin, what do you tell me about this? "What was Li Shimin about to say? was slapped by the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin was slapped to the ground by the eldest grandson Wuji. Dou Yan and Chai Shao were taken aback, and wanted to say something, but their mouths moved, but they couldn't make a sound:

"You get up for me, you get up for me." The eldest grandson, Wuji, pulled Li Shimin up.

"Look at what you look like now? A decadent and incompetent you, are you still the heroic Li Shimin back then? You're looking at these people around you, they're all relying on you, hoping that you'll give them a bright future, and my hard-working sister, you know? How worried is she about you? You know how happy she is when she knows that you are winning on the front lines, and when she hears that you are defeated, she immediately faints and falls to the ground. As soon as he heard that the eldest grandson had fainted, the softest piece in Li Shimin's heart was moved.

"How's Cleanliness doing? She's okay! The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin coldly.

"Congratulations, you're going to be a father. The doctor has already seen that she is already a month pregnant. When she knew that you didn't know whether you were alive or dead, she knelt in the Buddha hall for three days and three nights, despite the fact that she was pregnant, refusing to get up. That's why I asked Shizi for my life and came to you, but I didn't expect you to be so unenterprising, Li Shimin, I misjudged you. Do not stop him from death. One hundred dead. ”

"Shizi! What, you're saying something happened to my father? ”

"Your father fell ill immediately when he heard the news of your defeat, and now Chang'an is your eldest brother Li Jiancheng. It was I who asked him to let me come to support you, but I didn't expect that you were so spineless, it really blinded me. After speaking, the eldest grandson Wuji turned his back to Li Shimin and stopped talking. Li Shimin slowly picked up his sword and put it into his scabbard. A confident look on his face was restored.

"Pass my orders! Reinvigorate, the whole army will rest here for a day first, and return to Chang'an tomorrow! "Not far from Chang'an, where you can see the city wall of Chang'an. Li Jiancheng ordered:

"Come on, tie a rattan to my father, I want to ask my eldest brother for guilt." Li Jiancheng came to the west gate of Chang'an naked and tied with rattan.

"The criminal minister Li Shimin sees the son."

"Second brother! What are you。。。。。。 ”

"The defeat of the guilty ministers has humiliated our army to foreign enemies, please forgive the sin!" Li Jiancheng knew that Li Shimin was his biggest opponent in this life, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, 'If Li Shimin's military power is removed with the help of this defeat, and from now on he is made an idle grandfather and can no longer get involved in court and political affairs, then he will not be able to become his opponent in the future, and maybe he can take the opportunity to get rid of him,' unconsciously, a cruel expression appeared on his face, and suddenly, he felt a cold gaze shooting towards him, and he followed this gaze, I saw that the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji flashed with vigilance and murderous intent. Chai Shao also held the hilt of the knife. 'What a cold look. It was this look that made Li Jiancheng calm down. Looking at the officials around him again, he thought to himself again in his heart: "No, no matter what, he is the son of his father and the younger brother of my mother's compatriots. If I take the opportunity to kill him now, of course, I will immediately avoid future troubles, but it will make my father suspicious of me, and the eldest grandson Wuji and Chai Shao behind him will also fight hard, and the internal strife will start immediately, and other separatist forces will also attack him. He's still useful. Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng helped Li Shimin up with both hands:

"Why should the second brother be like this? The second brother will go back to the house to rest first, and all matters will be decided after I report to my father and queen. My brother-in-law is pregnant, so you have to spend more time with him. Someone! The Duke of Dunhuang worked all the way and sent him back to his mansion, and no one was allowed to entangle him without the order of the prince of the world. After Li Shimin left, Li Jiancheng pacified and resettled the remnants of the Western Expeditionary Army one by one and returned to the mansion. At night, someone reprimanded Li Shi's militia for wanting to kill himself and was reprimanded by the eldest grandson Wuji, and cheered up again, Li Jiancheng said secretly:

"The eldest grandson Wuji, what a masterpiece!"
