Li Shimin pondered for a long time, did not speak, but took out the bag in front of everyone, only to see that it was written, "He attacked my city, I attacked his heart. False and real, Wuhou sings! ”

Seeing this Moduo, Li Shimin's heart couldn't help but brighten, and he immediately deployed, his specific deployment was to send 20,000 elite soldiers to take the initiative to attack, ambush the weaker one of the enemy troops on the three routes, and immediately return to the division to defend the city after inflicting heavy losses on the other side, and in addition, there were more suspicious soldiers in Chang'an City to confuse the opponent.

"I just asked the emperor who came up with this scheme?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked.

"Li Ke!"

Most of the people in the hall who heard this name were appreciative, and there were nothing more than convincing eyes, seeing that Li Shimin was Li Ke, he was speechless.

Li Shimin believed that Jieli would never have expected that the Tang army would take the initiative to attack, and that if he suffered such a setback, he would definitely hesitate and then redeploy his troops, so that he could win time for the return of reinforcements from all walks of life. And these sixteen words are precisely the solution to the urgent need now, this plan is like Zhuge Liang was defeated, and scared away Sima Yi's more than 200,000 troops with an empty city plan, Li Shimin knew that Li Ke also let himself be in an empty city plan, but it was Wei Chi Jingde and Hou Junji who were sent to carry out the ambush mission, and at dawn the next day, Li Shimin personally sent the army out of the city.

Hou Junji's concubine Peizhu led her daughter Hou Ruoyi to see her off, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Hou Ruoyi's braids, and there was filial piety on it, and a trace of sadness flashed across Li Shimin's face.

He knew that Hou Junji's family had almost all been killed by the minions of Jiancheng, and only this daughter had escaped this catastrophe from the family of his best friend secretary Cheng Su Yan since she was a child.

From Hou Junji's gaze on Hou Ruoyi, Li Shimin saw his henchman's love for his daughter, and he asked the guards to take Hou Ruoyi back to the palace and hand it over to the queen to take care of.

At the same time, he told Hou Junji that as long as he, the son of heaven's family, is small, there will be Hou Ruoyi! Hou Junji burst into tears, and proposed on the spot to leave his elite Flying Tiger Army by Li Shimin's side.

Li Shimin flatly refused, and he said to Hou Junji: "I know your thoughts, let them follow you to the battlefield!" The better you fight, the safer I will be, otherwise no matter how good these 800 men are, how can they defeat the 200,000 troops of Jieli! Li Shimin's composure inspired the soldiers who went out to fight, and they walked out of the west gate of Chang'an with a generous expression, and walked into the boundless night, and no one thought that they were facing 200,000 powerful enemies.

But in fact, is the embattled Li Shimin really so calm in his heart?

He only said to himself in his own tone, "Ke'er, don't let your father down." ”

In the early morning sunshine, Li Shimin wore a golden armor, carrying a long lance and Fang Xuanling and other six horsemen along Weishui slowly forward, with two thousand cavalry behind them, the banner of the Tang Dynasty fluttered for dozens of miles under Chang'an City, and the momentum was quite spectacular.

Suddenly, Li Shimin's eyes fell on the Weishui River, where a temporary bridge was erected. Fang Xuanling, who was following Li Shimin, asked if he would let people go to demolish it, so as not to be used by the enemy, but Li Shimin said, keep it.

Several people behind Li Shimin were puzzled. The group continued to move forward, a horse galloped across the river, a small colonel jumped off the horse covered in sweat, knelt down in front of Li Shimin and reported that the enemy had entered the ambush circle of Wei Chi Jingde and Hou Junji, and the two sides had already engaged.

Li Shimin said to the colonel: "Go and tell them, the people of Chang'an, no, the people of the whole Tang Dynasty are looking at them, and they must be beaten hard!" The colonel got on his horse, waved his whip, and hurried away.

Li Shimin and the others rode their horses and continued to move forward, and suddenly Fang Xuanling, who was following behind him, seemed to hear something and said, "Your Majesty, listen!" ”

Li Shimin opened his ears wide, and there was a rumbling sound from far away, the sound became louder and louder, the earth seemed to tremble, and the horses of the guards around Li Shimin were turning and neighing in circles uneasily.

One of the guards was surprised and said, "Look, there are so many black clouds in the sky!" ”

Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly and spit out a sentence: "That's not a cloud, that's 200,000 enemies coming." ”

All the people changed color. Looking at everyone's nervous looks, Li Shimin laughed loudly: "It's nothing remarkable!" I started fighting at the age of sixteen, and I have never been afraid of anything, let alone 200,000 horsemen, even if the enemy has an army of millions, I also regard it as a mustard. ”

The cavalry behind him were excited by Li Shimin's words, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is not afraid, and the ministers are not afraid!" ”

Li Shimin said loudly: "Okay, as long as no one is afraid, we will win this battle!" The cavalry stays, and a few of you come with me—" He pointed to Fang Xuanling and a few others, and took the lead in riding their horses to the edge of the bridge.

Surrounded by countless flags, Jieli's brigade finally approached Weishui.

He rode on a small hillside, looked across the bank, and saw first the endless banners under the city of Chang'an, and then saw a small cavalry phalanx in front of him.

Then his gaze fell on the temporary bridge across the Weishui.

Jieli said to himself, "Strange, why didn't they tear down this bridge." ”

When he saw the six people at the bridge, his expression was even more shocked - Li Shimin was actually among them!

Jieli thought: What is Li Shimin doing here, is he laying an ambush to lure me into the bait? His brain was racing, and he began to scan around, his gaze full of suspicion.

At this moment, there was an earth-shattering shouting from the left flank. Jieli asked loudly, "What's going on?" ”

A general responded: "It seems that Yarkin has encountered a large force of Tang troops, and the two sides are fighting fiercely." ”

Jieli turned his face to look at the right flank again, where was the team of Tuli and Qibi Heli, and there was not a trace of movement. A look of hesitation appeared on Jieli's face, and he decided to hold his troops for the time being, waiting for news from both wings.

A strange scene appeared, with hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen on one side and only six people on the other, quietly facing each other across a temporary bridge.

Fang Xuanling whispered to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, why don't you step back first, as long as Jieli whips us, his horse's hooves can crush us into meat in the blink of an eye." Looking at the powerful enemy army on the opposite side, his heart was beating for a long time, and his voice trembled a little.

Li Shimin responded with a smile and whispered: "What should you do if you suddenly encounter a tiger on the road?" Remember, if you don't move, it won't dare to move, and if you turn around and run away, it will pounce. ”

Then, Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked forward, found Jieli's Xuli from the enemy formation, and found Jieli's figure under this big Xuan, he shouted at this figure: "Is Jieli Khan on the other side?" ”

Jie Li responded: "Yes, it's me!" Li Shimin, when I heard that you became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I remembered to ask you a question, who should be in charge of the ups and downs today? ”

Li Shimin glanced at Jieli: "I know that the Khan has a big heart, and he wants to fight with me for this world, but the world is not only fought for by swords and guns!" If you want to be the co-master of the world, you must first ask the people whether they agree or not! Well, will my answer satisfy the Khan? ”

Jieli sneered: "Li Shimin, what's the use of talking big, look at the iron horse behind me." ”

Li Shimin responded: "What I said is not a big word, the Tang Dynasty has all the soldiers and is waiting for the Khan." ”

After speaking, Li Shimin laughed loudly, looking very calm. At this moment, a fast horse galloped to Jieli's side, and a general stepped forward and said a few words to him in his ear, and Jieli's face suddenly changed greatly.

The general reported to him that the Yaltin on the left flank was raided by the Don army, losing thousands of people, and he himself was seriously wounded.

Turri also found an unknown enemy on the right flank. Jieli's heart was weak for a while, he estimated in advance that the Tang army in Chang'an was only 30,000 or 20,000 people, but he didn't expect that the elite cavalry on his left flank would be attacked by the other party, and Li Shimin on the front was not timid at all, and there was an unknown enemy situation on the right flank, all of which were beyond his expectations.

Jieli looked up at Chang'an City, where there seemed to be a faint ambush of thousands of troops, a dark cloud swept over his face, Jieli is a resourceful person, but he has a suspicious personality, some like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, such a battlefield situation, so that he is not sure for a while, he decided to temporarily withdraw and figure out the situation.

He gave an order to one of his attendants: Retreat twenty miles! The army of more than 100,000 began to retreat slowly, and Li Shimin and others were still nailed to the head of the bridge like nails, looking still calm, but in fact, everyone's clothes were already soaked with sweat. After Jieli's men and horses withdrew twenty miles, they set up camp, and he sent people to continue to investigate the situation on both wings, and found that Yaerjin had indeed encountered a strong enemy, and the banners of Wei Chi Jingde and Hou Junji appeared in the Tang army that attacked them, which were all the generals under Li Shimin. And what the unknown military situation on the right flank is, they still haven't figured it out.

Jieli already understood in his heart that Tuli and Qi Bi He Li didn't want to fight at all, but were waiting for him and Li Shimin to fight to the death. The so-called unknown enemy situation was actually just a reason to prevaricate him, which made Jieli very annoyed, but he couldn't say it explicitly, so he had to send people to comfort the generals on both wings, and at the same time send people to further spy on the truth of Chang'an.

Li Shimin came to inspect the battlefield at the foot of the hill set up by the Tang army. The Tang army's initiative won a small victory this time, but Wei Chi Jingde and Hou Junji lost a total of more than 10,000 people.

Looking at the boundless corpses on the wasteland, Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Jieli's cavalry is indeed good at fighting. When he heard that at the most critical moment of the battle, it was only thanks to the Flying Tiger Army that rushed into the enemy formation, wounded Yarkin and captured the enemy's banner, and the situation on the battlefield was reversed, he turned his gaze to Hou Junji and said: "This time you have made a great contribution, I will reward you well, reward your Flying Tiger Army, go, take me to your camp, I will personally inspect them." ”
