Chapter 216: Zhu Ji is extinguished

After Gao Ju's defeat, Li Shimin summed up the reasons for his defeat, and felt that the reason for the defeat was mainly due to his lack of excellent cavalry, otherwise he would not have watched Xue Ju's cavalry go around and intrude on his army's grain route, but there was no way to stop it, so he changed his original plan and forced the battle......

Therefore, Li Shimin learned from the pain, and after that, he began to spend a lot of money to build his own descendant cavalry, and it took half a year for this Xuanjia army, which would make the enemy fearful in the future, finally appear in front of the world.

The Xuanjia Army is Li Shimin's hole card, since he came out of the martial arts, although he has fought several battles with Zhu Ji, but he has not been sent to the battlefield, and has been hidden until Zhu Ji finally couldn't help but let his elite guards attack, so he personally took the Xuanjia Army, went around to the enemy's flank, found the weak point of the enemy army that he had already seen, and then launched a charge, and went straight to Zhu Ji's location to kill.

For a time, the three thousand Xuanjia army, like an unstoppable black torrent, rushed towards Zhu Ji's army, God blocked and killed God, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and everywhere he passed, Zhu Ji's army scattered and fled.

Seeing this, Zhu Wei showed a panicked look on his face, if his 5,000 personal guards were still there, it would definitely be possible to stop the Xuanjia army, but at this time, his 5,000 personal guards had already fought with the Tang army, how could he easily call it back?

Seeing that the Xuanjia army was getting closer and closer, and they all saw Li Shimin covered in blood from a distance, Zhu Jian finally couldn't sit still, and hurriedly took the people around him to hide elsewhere.

Zhu Wei's army was already at a disadvantage, but now that the formation was chaotic, the leaders were still wantonly chased and killed like this, and the whole line collapsed suddenly, and all the armies abandoned and fled.

Zhu Wei has also begun to flee in a hurry, but this time without the escort of the pro-guard army, the soldiers around him are fleeing less and less, and Li Shimin is still chasing him with the Xuanjia army!

Zhu Wei kept rushing south, because on the bank of the river in the south, there were more than a dozen of his big ships parked, as long as he got there, he could completely get rid of the pursuit of the Xuanjia army.

However, when Zhu Wei's hopeful runway was on the shore of the water, the scene in front of him made him completely desperate, only to see that his dozen or so big ships had been burned to the point that only a shelf remained, suspended above the water, and a few wisps of black smoke rose up.

It turned out that Li Shimin seemed to have expected that after Zhu Yu's defeat, he would flee here, so he had sent people here in advance and burned these ships.

Zhu Wei immediately changed the team and wanted to flee to other places, but at this time, the Xuanjia Army was close at hand, and the Tang soldiers and horses of the brigade suddenly appeared on both sides of the river, and Li Shimin was also ambushed in advance.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Yu knew that he had no way to escape, he pulled out the sword on his waist and laughed a few times, "There was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who killed himself in the past, and the current Emperor of Great Chu, Zhu Yu, committed suicide in this life, he doesn't need it in this life, he doesn't need it in this life!" ”

After Zhu Wei finished speaking, he swung his sword and killed himself. If the overlord of Western Chu knew that Zhu Jian actually compared himself to him before he died, he didn't know if he would be so angry that he jumped out of the coffin and cursed.

Zhu Wei in the original history, he once called the Tang Dynasty, if it weren't for Li Yuan in order to make Li Shimin make meritorious contributions, he was sent here, Zhu Wei should have been able to continue to jump for several years, but this time it ended early.

Li Shimin personally cut off Zhu Ji's head, and immediately asked people to send Zhu Ji's head to Chang'an to report the victory, Li Shimin rode on a horse, looking at the water that had been stained red with blood, it was difficult to hide his excited expression, through this battle, he finally proved his military talent again, he wanted to let the world know that in terms of fighting, he was no worse than Li Yin!

When he returned to Chang'an, Li Yuan asked Pei Lin and other ministers of the court to personally welcome him into the city at the city gate.

Just a few days after Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, Li Yin also led a large army back from Hexi.

From Chang'an to Hexi, it is much farther than from Chang'an to Nanyang, but Li Yin's capture of Hexi's land is very smooth, and the time is basically spent on the way back and forth, and Li Shimin has spent a lot of effort in order to eliminate Zhu Ji, so the difference between the two is not long before and after returning to Chang'an.

It has only been more than four months since the second year of Wude, but Datang has eliminated two great enemies one after another, and countless prefectures and counties have been included, which immediately inspired the confidence of Datang officials and people.

The people under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty couldn't help but feel a little more confident when they walked on the road at this time, and they were faintly proud of being the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But this is not all good, because some officials and generals seem to be starting to be a little overly proud, and have the illusion that if they were the ones who led the troops, they would have achieved such results, and if this idea cannot be stopped, it may cause a heavy price in the future......

Just when Chang'an was cheering for the victory of Li Yin and Li Shimin, bad news suddenly came, Wang Shichong actually led tens of thousands of soldiers at this time to attack Xin'an County of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Wang Shichong was no longer comparable to before defeating Li Mi, after he defeated Li Mi in the Battle of Beibi Mountain, he collected Li Mi's beautiful treasures and more than 100,000 subordinates and returned to the Eastern Capital, lined up under the tower in front of the palace, and trumpeted his great achievements.

After that, the emperor granted amnesty to those subordinates of Li Mi who surrendered, and then took Wang Shichong as the lieutenant, Shang Shuling, and the internal and external military, and asked him to build the Taiwei Mansion, set up official subordinates, and select outstanding figures.

At the beginning, after Wang Shichong killed Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, he was worried that he would not be convinced, and once flattered the emperor, and the etiquette was quite humble, and he asked to be the godson of the Empress Dowager Liu, and called the Empress Dowager Liu the Empress Dowager Shenggan.

But after a long time, Wang Shichong gradually became arrogant, once in the palace to eat the reward food, back home vomited, he suspected that the food was poisoned, since then, Wang Shichong no longer went to the court to pay homage, and his heart also had the idea of deposing the emperor and establishing himself as the emperor.

The emperor knew that Wang Shichong would not be willing to be a subordinate in the end, but he was unable to subdue him, so he could only take silk fabrics from the palace warehouse, make many flowers, and take out all kinds of clothes and playthings, and let the monks give alms everywhere to the poor and lacking things, in order to seek blessings.

Wang Shichong also asked his henchmen Zhang Ji and Dong Jun to guard the two gates of Zhang Shan and Xianfu, and the sundries in the palace were not allowed to be taken out in the slightest.

At the beginning of February, Wang Shichong asked people to offer him a seal and a sword, and then said that the Yellow River was clear, and wanted to show off to everyone and create an auspicious omen for himself.

At this time, Wang Shichong's attack on Xin'an County in the Tang Dynasty was also one of his strategies for usurping the throne.
