Huayin City, the entire Huayin City is lifeless, the people are all honestly carrying their homes, and the streets and alleys are full of patrolling Tang troops. Although the Liang army outside the city did not launch an offensive, the dull feeling of the mountain rain was about to come filled the entire Huayin City, and everyone was so depressed that they couldn't breathe.

At the gate of the Taishou Mansion located in the southeast corner of Huayin City, there were Tang Army generals in armor, none of these Tang Army generals had the calm appearance of the past, and instead of them, they were all anxious and uneasy.

With a squeak, the closed door was suddenly opened, which immediately attracted the attention of the anxiously waiting generals in front of the door, only to see another general walking out of the door, it was Duan Zhixuan, the general of the Tang Army. As soon as they saw Duan Zhixuan come out, the generals immediately rushed over and surrounded Duan Zhixuan, but they didn't say anything, just looked at Duan Zhixuan with expectant eyes.

Duan Zhixuan, who was surrounded by the generals, frowned, and his face was obviously not good-looking, seeing everyone's eyes, Duan Zhixuan paused for a moment and said, "I have failed to live up to the expectations of the princes and failed to see Your Majesty!" ”

As soon as Duan Zhixuan said this, all the generals were also in an uproar, all of them showed disappointed expressions, and sighed, among them, Li Xiaogong, the general of the Tang Army who was standing next to Duan Zhixuan, also showed an impatient expression and said, "What happened to Your Majesty?" Since he arrived in Huayin, he has never shown up? Without His Majesty's holy order, how can we face the battle? ”

"No! I'm going to see Your Majesty now! Be sure to ask Your Majesty to come out! If it goes on like this, how can it be done? Among the crowd, a big man roared, but it was Gongsun Wuda, a fierce general who had followed Li Shimin in his early years. After saying this, Gongsun Wuda also took a direct step and was about to break through the gate of the Taishou Mansion, but was stopped by the left and right generals.

"General Gongsun! Don't be impulsive! Seeing Gongsun Wuda's actions, everyone was shocked, and Duan Zhixuan hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty refuses to see us now, there must be Your Majesty's own arrangement, as a courtier, how can we offend Your Majesty's Tianwei?" ”

Gongsun Wuda was just impulsive, and he was persuaded by everyone to give up for the time being. Zheng Rentai, the Tang general next to him, said with a sad face: "Having said that, now that we are trapped in Huayin City by the Liang army, it's not a problem, right?" You must find a way to break through! By the way, General Hou, you have followed Your Majesty for the longest time and know Your Majesty's mind best, why don't you go in and try it again? Perhaps, Your Majesty will be willing to see you? ”

The object of Zheng Rentai's second half of the sentence was a short general, who was Hou Junji, who had been with Li Shimin since he was a teenager. Li Shimin became the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Hou Junji's status naturally rose, although it was not as good as the status of Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan and others, but it was also ranked among the generals of the Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Zheng Rentai's words, Hou Junji was also embarrassed, shook his head and said: "In the past, I was always indispensable by Your Majesty's side, but this time Your Majesty didn't even see me, let alone persuade Your Majesty!" It's really impossible to be in the next, in the next! ”

Hou Junji all shirked like this, and the generals had no way at all, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to act, and I am unwilling to leave, so I can only stay in front of this gate and stare at it.

"Squeak!" After another long time, the closed door was opened again, which made the Tang army generals present startled, and turned their heads one after another, but saw a figure emerging from the gap in the gate, and when they saw the appearance of this figure clearly, the generals present were startled again, and shouted almost in unison: "General Yin? ”

Drilling out of the gate is the Tang veteran Yin Kaishan! To the surprise of the generals, Yin Kaishan should have stayed in Weicheng, when did he come to this Huayin?

Seeing the surprised appearance of the generals, Yin Kaishan also smiled indifferently, and then bowed to the generals and said, "Princess! Yin is here! ”

"Ahh Yin Kaishan took the initiative to salute, and all the generals reacted, and they all returned the salute to Yin Kaishan, and then Duan Zhixuan stepped forward with a surprised face and said to Yin Kaishan: "General Yin, you, you, you are, when did you come to Huayin, why, why don't we know at all?" ”

Duan Zhixuan was of course surprised, because he was in the Taishou Mansion just now, and he didn't even see Yin Kaishan. Hearing Duan Zhixuan's question, Yin Kaishan immediately smiled, stroked his gray beard with his hand, and said with a smile: "General Duan! The old man has only been in Huayin for a few days, and after arriving in Huayin, His Majesty has been staying by his side, so he has not been able to meet you, and I ask you to forgive me! ”

Hearing Yin Kaishan's explanation, especially hearing Yin Kaishan say that he had been by Li Shimin's side for the past few days, the generals' eyes immediately lit up, and they all asked, "General Yin!" You, are you really by Your Majesty's side? So how is Your Majesty now? Will you continue to defend Huayin, or are you ready to break through? Are there any reinforcements over there in Chang'an? ”

The generals asked several questions one after another, which made Yin Kaishan a little overwhelmed, but fortunately Yin Kaishan seemed to be prepared, for the generals' questions, Yin Kaishan also avoided answering, just smiled and waved his hand, and finally waited for the generals' words to be suspended, Yin Kaishan said: "Princess! Ladies and gentlemen! Don't be in a hurry! Let's listen to the old man slowly! ”

As soon as Yin Kaishan said this, the noisy voices of the generals slowly quieted down, and then, Yin Kaishan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Princess! His Majesty has also been dealing with very important official business in the past few days, so he has not been able to meet with the princes, but just now, His Majesty has given an order for the old man to temporarily take charge of the war in Huayin! The Tiger Talisman granted by His Majesty is here! ”

After that, Yin Kaishan directly took out a tiger talisman from his arms, which was the tiger talisman that led the defenders of Huayin City! Li Shimin is in this Taishou Mansion, even if Yin Kaishan is bold, he will not dare to falsely preach the holy decree here, so if Yin Kaishan says, there is no one who will not believe it. Now that Yin Kaishan has shown the tiger talisman again, this is a tiger talisman that only Li Shimin has, and the generals naturally believe in Yin Kaishan's words even more.

The generals have been surrounding here before, not that they are worried about the current war in Huayin City, but Li Shimin has not shown up, and the generals lack the backbone in their hearts. Now that Li Shimin has handed over the military power to Yin Kaishan, all the generals have a number in their hearts, and they are secretly relieved, and they clasp their fists at Yin Kaishan and shout in unison: "We are all willing to obey General Yin's dispatch!" ”

"Don't dare!" After Yin Kaishan said a modest sentence, he immediately turned straight again, and said to the generals with a solemn face: "Princess! Your Majesty has an order, the Liang army outside the city has just deliberately despised our army in the past few days, so that our army will take it lightly, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will raid Huayin City! In the past few days, our army still needs to be vigilant and not fall for the enemy's tricks! When you return to your respective posts, you must be cautious and not derelict in your duties! ”

As soon as Yin Kaishan said this, the faces of all the generals were also the same, and they clenched their fists in unison, and shouted in a deep voice: "The last general is ordered!" ”

After singing this, the generals slowly dispersed, but the generals didn't see it, and at the moment when they turned around and dispersed, a strange look flashed in Yin Kaishan's eyes, as if he was relieved.

"General Duan! Please stay! Seeing that all the generals were about to leave, Yin Kaishan suddenly shouted, and he actually stopped Duan Zhixuan.

Hearing Yin Kaishan's words, Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head, and looked at Yin Kaishan with some confusion, not knowing why Yin Kaishan just shouted at him. And Yin Kaishan didn't explain too much, just nodded at Duan Zhixuan, just stood at the door of the Taishou Mansion and waited, and when the other generals left, Yin Kaishan waved his hand at Duan Zhixuan and signaled Duan Zhixuan to approach.

Although he was a little confused, Duan Zhixuan immediately walked quickly in front of Yin Kaishan, clasped his fists at Yin Kaishan, and said, "General Yin, but what do you have to explain to the last general?" ”

"Shhhhh As soon as Duan Zhixuan's words were finished, Yin Kaishan immediately made a silent gesture, looked at the generals who had not completely left not far away, paused for a moment, and waited until all the generals had walked away, then he grabbed Duan Zhixuan and walked a few steps towards the gate, almost leaning against the vermilion gate, and said to Duan Zhixuan in a low voice: "General Duan!" Hurry up and get ready, Your Majesty is going to break through and leave Huayin! ”

"What!" Duan Zhixuan couldn't help but exclaim, fortunately, there were no others around at this time, seeing that Yin Kaishan was a gesture to silence himself, Duan Zhixuan hurriedly suppressed his voice, looked at Yin Kaishan with a look of surprise, and asked, "General Yin!" You, what are you? Didn't you just say that Your Majesty asked us to straighten out our soldiers and horses, isn't this to prepare to defend Huayin? ”

Although Yin Kaishan relayed Li Shimin's order and did not explicitly say that he would defend Huayin, the meaning should be much different, and Duan Zhixuan also thought that Li Shimin was going to defend Huayin and wait for reinforcements from Chang'an. But he didn't expect this to turn his head, Yin Kaishan jumped out again that Li Shimin wanted to break through, Rao is Duan Zhixuan is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he couldn't help but be a little out of shape.

Regarding Duan Zhixuan's gaffe, Yin Kaishan seemed to have been prepared for a long time, the smile on his face had long disappeared, and he frowned tightly and said, "General Duan!" This matter must not be revealed! The Liang army besieged Huayin, the purpose of which is Your Majesty! If the news leaks out, then Your Majesty wants to break through, but it will be even more difficult! ”

Duan Zhixuan also subconsciously covered his mouth, his face became a lot heavier, he looked up at the Taishou Mansion, and said in a low voice: "General Yin!" Although the strength of our army is slightly inferior to the Liang army outside the city, there is enough food and grass in the city, and there should be no problem if you want to hold Huayin, why, why did Your Majesty break through so early? ”

Yin Kaishan also hesitated for a moment about Duan Zhixuan's doubts, and finally sighed and said, "Your Majesty must leave Huayin as soon as possible and return to Chang'an, because, well, because, on the Chang'an side, something happened!" ”
