Li Yuan first went to Hanoi County to recruit 3,000 soldiers, and then went north to Changping, Shangdang, Linfen and other counties, and spent more than a month to collect more than 16,000 troops, and then he was ready to start a crusade against the Hedong bandits.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and after a while, a thousand neat cavalry appeared outside Li Yuan's military camp.

After Li Yuan received the news, he immediately led people outside the camp and shouted suspiciously: "Where are you from the imperial court, what are you doing outside my camp?" ”

A general rode forward a few steps, "We were sent by General Li Lang of Yanmen County to assist the Tang State in its rebellion, and here is General Li Lang's handwritten letter. ”

As the general spoke, he rode over, and a heroic young man vigilantly stood in front of Li Yuan, eyeing the general.

Li Yuan waved his hand, "Shimin, there is no need to be like this, they are indeed the men and horses sent by your brother?" ”

"Why is Father so sure?" Li Shimin asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Yuan smiled and said, "In this Hedong Road, in addition to your brother, how many people have so many elite cavalry?" ”

This thousand cavalry was indeed sent by Li Yin, and that general was his henchman Liu Hong, Li Yin only had 5,000 cavalry in total, and now he sent 1,000 at once, which is indeed a bloody investment.

After Li Yuan took Li Yin's letter from Liu Hong's hand, he unfolded it and read it quickly, smiled a few times with satisfaction, and then invited Liu Hong to enter the camp and sit down

After Li Yuan talked with Liu Hong for a while, he suddenly felt that this Liu Hong seemed to be a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, he asked him: "General Liu, do you know Liu Sheng, the former assassin of Hezhou." ”

Liu Hong immediately stood up and bowed somewhere, "Don't hide it from Tang Guogong, that is my father, my real name is not Liu Hong, but Liu Hongji, Liu Hong is my pseudonym after I fled." ”

Li Yuan was overjoyed and said: "It turned out that he was the son of an old man, I had a good relationship with your father, and I had a close relationship back then, so I felt that you were very similar to him, so I asked him." ”

After Liu Hongji heard this, he was surprised, "I didn't expect my father to know Tang Guogong, but he didn't tell me about this." ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said: "I have a relationship with your father, you can call me uncle, and then call Tang Guogong to see the outside, haha, I heard your father say that when you were young, you were very uninhibited, and it is normal for him not to tell you some things." ”

After Liu Hongji heard this, he couldn't help but blush. When he was young, he was not at home all day, he was chivalrous and righteous, and he didn't care about family property, and he didn't fight with his father Liu Sheng, so he didn't know much about his father Liu Sheng's personal relationship.

When Liu Hongji was in the first expedition to Goryeo, he served in the military and rushed to Liaodong with the army, but because of the rain for several days, the road was difficult to travel, and when he walked to Fenyang with great difficulty, he was still far away from Liaodong, and he could not arrive on time anyway, and he would be killed according to military law.

Liu Hongji thought of a way to slaughter and sell cattle without permission, which was against the law, so he was put in a cell, although the life in the cell was not easy, but after all, there was no need to go to Liaodong, until more than a year later, he asked someone to spend money to redeem him.

After being released from prison, Liu Hongji's magic skills were not found, and he didn't dare to go home, so he had a very difficult time, and finally had to steal horses for a living, and finally stole Li Yin's head who went to Yanmen to take up his post......

Although Li Yuan has recruited more than 16,000 soldiers and horses in the past month, the cavalry is no more than 100.

At the end of May, Li Yuan officially crusaded against the bandits in Hedong, winning every battle, and in less than a month, he swept away the rebel bandits except for Longmen Wu'er.

In the process of exterminating the rebels and bandits, Li Yuan would inevitably receive young and strong troops from the surrendered army every time he exterminated a force, so now his strength has reached more than 25,000 people, which is not much different from the strength of Wu Du'er.

As a result, Li Yuan led his army to Longmen and fought a decisive battle with Wuduan'er's army.

The drums beat like thunder, and the Chinese armies of the two armies have begun to fight together, and on the battlefield, shouting to kill the sky.

If you want to say where is the most place where a man can quickly become mature, it is undoubtedly the battlefield, seventeen-year-old Li Shimin, after a month of fighting on the battlefield, the childishness on his face has disappeared at this time, and it is replaced by calmness and calmness.

Li Yuan was reluctant to let Li Shimin fight directly with the rebels at first, but Li Shimin said: "Luo Shixin, a native of Licheng, began to go to war at the age of fourteen, Brother Yin went to Liaodong at the age of sixteen, and I was seventeen years old, how could I still hide behind my father like a child?" ”

After Li Yuan heard Li Shimin's words, he allowed him to put on his horse, but arranged for him to be next to Liu Hongji, who was calm in battle.

"General Liu, the enemy's flank is a little weak, let's attack immediately!" Li Shimin said to Liu Hongji with full of fighting spirit at this time.

Liu Hongji was a little arrogant in normal times, but as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, his face sank like water, and he didn't say a word for a long time, he shook his head at this time and said, "It's not the best time yet." ”

Li Shimin did not refute after hearing this, and continued to stare at the battlefield like a cheetah.

The two sides quickly put all their troops into it, and after fighting for a while, Liu Hongji's eyes suddenly showed a bright eye, and Li Shimin also looked at Liu Hongji at the same time.

Liu Hongji raised his weapon and said, "The whole army is attacking!" ”

With Liu Hongji's order, a thousand cavalry immediately slaughtered the enemy with great momentum, and it was Li Shimin, who was wearing white armor, who rushed to the forefront......

Yes. Li Yuan's army defeated Wu Duan'er's army, beheaded more than 8,000, and the rebel leader Wu Duan'er was also killed by Li Shimin in Ma, after the war, Li Yuan also recruited more than 4,000 people from the rebel army, and Hedong Province was pacified by Li Yuan in less than two months.

In July, Cailian was nine months pregnant, and she could give birth at any time, Li Yin was inseparable from her almost all the time, and fully assumed the responsibilities of a husband.

Although Cai Lian often persuaded him not to neglect his official duties for his own sake, Cai Lian still felt very sweet in his heart.

On this day, Li Yin was putting his ear against Cailian's stomach and listening to the movements of the child in the belly, which is one thing that many men in the lower world will do when they are new fathers.

In fact, when Cailian was only three or four months pregnant, Li Yin began to listen to Cailian's belly with his ears almost every day.

Cai Lian smiled happily and said, "Listening to this every day, I'm not afraid of being laughed at." ”
