Half an hour later, Cheng Biting Jin came with 30,000 infantry, and there were many corpses under the Sleepy Yang City, and the blood flowed like a river, stepping over the corpses all over the ground, Cheng Biting Jin arrived at the bottom of the Sleepy Yang City.

The city gate opened, and Li Shimin personally went out of the city to greet him.

"Meet the Emperor."

"Cheng Aiqing, please get up."

Helping Cheng Yanjin up, Li Shimin said with a smile: "With you here, I can finally take a good breath." ”

"Come into town."

While entering the city, Cheng Yanjin told Li Shimin about the things along the way, especially about the emperor's uncle Li Daozong, he really made a small report and hacked Li Daozong 10,000 times.

Back in the city, Li Shimin's face gradually darkened, and he said, "Li Daozong... As an imperial uncle, he is still a supervisor of the army, and he doesn't think about making contributions to the court and delaying military affairs, which is really hateful. ”

Cheng Biting Jin said: "What the old minister is worried about is... He has bad intentions. ”

"Aiqing is too worried, it's not enough."

Li Shimin said: "At most, he is playing carefully, wanting to use you to open the way for him, and then he will sit and reap the credit, I still know him well, and it has always been so." ”

"But..."

Cheng Yanjin still wanted to persuade him, but Xu Maogong hurriedly grabbed him and chuckled: "Lu Guogong, you have been lucky all the way, go take a bath first, take a good rest, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Ugh...."

With a sigh, Cheng Biting Jin left angrily.

After Cheng Biting Jin left, Xu Maogong was also very worried, and said: "Your Majesty, what Lu Guogong said is a bit ridiculous, but it is not unreasonable; Li Daozong had heavy troops, but he did not come to Xiliang, but stationed troops in Qinglong Pass, which is really suspicious. ”

"Do you want to say that Uncle Huang will rebel?"

"It's hard to say whether it will rebel or not, but... You have to be on guard. ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "The emperor should know that we have mobilized two routes of soldiers and horses before and after, a total of 430,000 people, which is already around Chang'an, and all the troops in Chang'an, and now Chang'an, is an empty city, if at this time, there is an elite to kill Chang'an, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

was mentioned by Xu Maogong like this, Li Shimin seemed to understand something, Li Daozong couldn't advance, it turned out that he was fighting this ghost's mind.

Li Shimin waved his sleeves and said angrily: "He is delusional!" ”

"I dismissed him from the post of supervising the army, and on the grounds that the overseer was ineffective, let him return to Chang'an to recuperate, and the army was handed over to Zheng Tianyong, and he quickly went to Xiliang to help in the battle."

Xu Mao said fairly: "Your Majesty, you must not." ”

"Now that Li Daozong has a heavy army, we must not force it to be urgent, the rabbit will bite if it is urgent; If we are patient and do not move, Xu will pass like this, but this holy decree will affect the whole body, Li Daozong may be reversed, and when the army is approaching Chang'an, at that time, we will fall into passivity, with Xiao Wenlong in front and Li Daozong in the back. ”

Li Shimin is actually just talking, how could he not understand these truths.

After calming down, Li Shimin said: "Then give him the Holy Decree, let him come to Sleepy Yang City to help in the battle, in addition, I will secretly remind him, let him know that everything he has been controlled, but read that he has worked hard and made great achievements, do not care about him, if there is a next time, I will not be lightly; He's a smart man, and when I say it, he'll understand. ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "That's very good. ”

"Your Majesty, if Li Daozong's 100,000 army also comes, then it will be much easier to conquer Xiliang this time, if the king of Xiliang wants to negotiate peace, I wonder if the emperor will agree?"

"Does he meet and make peace?"

Xu Maogong shook his fan and chuckled: "Sure that the meeting is peaceful, as I expected, within two months, the envoy of the peace conference will arrive." ”

Li Shimin said: "Then I will borrow your auspicious words." ”

...........

It wasn't until the evening, when it was nearly dark, that Luo Tong and Wei Chigong returned to the city with a laughing army.

This time, the two have gained a lot and made great achievements.

Chased from east to west, from Sleepy Yang City to the camp fifty miles away, and then turned back all the way, eliminating countless Xiliang soldiers, the most happy thing for the two was that when they came back, they met 50,000 Xiliang soldiers of the wild bull, and the two of them rushed all the way to kill, and the 30,000 cavalry looked at each other, and killed the 50,000 people of the wild bull.

After cleaning the battlefield, the two returned to Sleepy Yang City.

arranged the soldiers and went to take a bath, and both of them received a summons from Li Shimin and asked them to go to the city guard mansion for a banquet.

The emperor gave a banquet, which was a great honor, and the two traveled together and soon arrived at the place.

I saw that in the lobby, there were already sitting Xu Maogong, Cheng Yanjin, Xue Rengui (although he was injured, he was able to walk on the ground), as well as many generals in the army, there were singers in the hall, musical instruments on both sides, and two rows of desks were placed outside along both sides of the hall, and there were more than 20 tables.

"See the Emperor."

"See the Emperor."

The two walked in and bowed.

Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand: "The two Aiqing are fortunate to be miserable, give them a seat." ”

"Your Majesty."

Li Shimin looked at Luo Tong and said: "Luo Tong, you can repel Xiao Wenlong this time, you are indispensable, I am very relieved, you really have the courage of your ancestors, you are worthy of being the son of Luo Cheng, the Duke of Yueguo." ”

"In the past, you were convicted of slaughtering the princess, and you were cut off the official title, but I didn't expect that not only did you not hold a grudge against me, but also brought troops to Xiliang; Today, I have forgiven you of all your sins, and you have been reinstated, and you are still the king of the north and the lord of the Yue Mansion. ”

Luo Tong was stunned on the spot, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He came to Xiliang, not for the purpose of official reinstatement, he didn't even dare to think about these things, what he thought about in his heart was always how to rescue Li Shimin and how to destroy Xiliang.

Unbeknownst to him, Li Shimin actually made such a big surprise.

"Your Majesty... The Emperor's Grace is immense.... ”

Luo Tong returned to the middle of the hall and saluted: "Thank you to the emperor, the ministers will definitely do their best to sweep away Xiliang for the emperor and consolidate my Tang Dynasty foundation!" ”

"Well, well said!"

Li Shimin laughed, beckoned Luo Tong to take a seat, and let people pour wine, and the singer danced.

Tang was lively, Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, and asked: "I heard Lu Guogong say that your brother also came with this expedition, but is there such a thing?" ”

Luo Tong replied: "Back to the emperor, yes; This expedition to the west, thanks to him, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to pass the boundary card level. ”

Cheng Yanjin looked at Xu Maogong and quipped: "Niu Nose, I see that your strategies are old, and if you have time in the future, go and learn from others, and see if we fight in the Jiepai Pass, we captured the city without a single soldier, and also drove the general Wang Buchao back to Xiliang, if you want to replace it, can you do it?" ”

Xu Mao said fairly: "It is indeed beautiful. I know Wang Buchao, I still had some intersections with him in my early years, his martial arts can be said to be very strong, there are few opponents, I was still worried about you, but I didn't expect there to be another Luo Yi, it is really my blessing of the Tang Dynasty. ”

For Luo Yi's name, there is no one in the hall who does not know him, and even Li Shimin is like thunder; Even if you don't know it, you always know the Drunken Immortal Bar, and who doesn't know that the Drunken Immortal Wine is from Luo Yi's hand.

Talking about Luo Yi, Li Shimin also nodded secretly, before he set out on the expedition, he had been paying attention to Luo Yi for a long time, especially the matter of Fang Xuanling and Fang Yizhi, Luo Yi simply overturned Fang Xuanling, although it was quelled by a fire in the end, but I have to say that through this incident, Luo Yi's wit was also fully revealed.

Coupled with the matter of the boundary card pass, it shows that Luo Yi is not an idle person.

Li Shimin said: "Luo Yi is a little bit of a little bit of a head, you two brothers, one is good at writing, the other is good at martial arts, and you should be relieved if you have knowledge under the spring of Yue Guogong." ”

Luo Tong remembered something, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister just remembered that my third brother is still camping with Huaiyu and Baolin fifty taels away, can you transfer them to Sleepy Yang City?" ”

"Well, that's fine."

Li Shimin said: "Let's tighten our fists first, and then stand by to attack, or don't move, or if we move, we will give Xiao Wenlong a fatal blow and drive him back to Xiliang completely." ”

Next, Li Shimin calculated the account, according to Luo Tong and Wei Chigong's account. In the battle during the day, Xiao Wenlong lost at least 60,000 soldiers, that is to say, after Xiao Wenlong withdrew all the troops outside Trapped Yang City, they gathered together, less than 140,000 people, and among these 140,000 people, a small half of them had injuries of different levels.

Looking at Sleepy Yang City again, there was originally a large army of 100,000, but because Wei Chigong led his troops out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Xiao Wenlong, 30,000 people were injured, and the actual strength of Sleepy Yang City was still 70,000; plus the cavalry brought by Luo Tong, the 30,000 infantry brought by Cheng Yanjin, and the armies of Luo Yi and Qin Huaiyu, the total sum is as high as 150,000.

finally regained some strength, and the stone in everyone's hearts was also put down, and then against Xiao Wenlong, no one had to be afraid of anyone, and if they didn't accept it, they would fight.
