Chapter 567: Eyes of Pity and Compassion

When Han Shixuan left Li Shimin's military tent, Li Shimin said something to Li Jing. The means he used against Han Shicao were not to lead the king into the urn but to force the king into the urn, he did not hide everything from Han Shicao, and called Han Shicao together in everything, even if Han Shicao did not speak, he was cautious like a hedgehog shrunken into a ball, but he was still forced by Li Shimin to join Li Shimin's camp. Because he knows too much, and he can't vent these secrets, on one side is the Tang Emperor, on the other side is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and on the other side is Li Shimin, no matter which one of them he can compete with.

If he votes for Li Jiancheng, as a person who betrayed Li Shimin, even if the crown prince succeeds to the throne smoothly in the future, he will not be able to tolerate him, if the prince and Li Shimin fight and lose both, His Majesty the emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not tolerate him.

In the carriage of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xian's method is the same. Although he didn't say anything explicitly, both Eldest Sun Wuji and Eldest Sun Wuji knew what he was talking about. It is precisely because of this that the eldest grandson Wuji will be annoyed and angry, not angry with Li Xian, but angry with himself.

"Why can't I be stupid?"

He glanced at the eldest grandson, and then sighed lightly, "Why can't you be stupid?" ”

The eldest grandson Wujian breathed a sigh of relief lightly, and said a little helplessly: "Brother, if you and I are stupid, especially you, will King Yan still say this to you?" Since he said it, and the timing was just right, you can't refuse, and there is no way out, you can't go back in the army of King Qin, how will he face you after you go back? According to King Qin's temperament, if he feels guilty about you, then he will kill him, and he will feel guilty. And if he wants to kill you, he will never do it himself again, and he will randomly assign you to lead the troops to fight Wang Shichong, isn't it simple? ”

"Brother in Chang'an City, you can't go back, Your Majesty asked, eldest grandson Wuji, you don't serve in King Qin's army, what are you doing back to Chang'an? Brother, what do you say? Could it be that the king of Qin wants to kill his ministers, and the ministers have to come back? Don't say that Your Majesty doesn't believe it, just say that Your Majesty believes it, and then send someone to ask King Qin if there is such a thing, and my brother said what the result will be? ”

"So, we're not going anywhere."

The eldest grandson Wuji leaned on the carriage, and the wound on his shoulder made his brows wrinkle immediately: "King Yan said these words to us at this time, no matter what, it can't be a conspiracy, this is a dignified and upright force me......"

"Since he explained the matter almost thoroughly, he just didn't give you any room to maneuver."

The eldest grandson said innocently.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "Does this count as leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den again?" ”

"Wolf's den...... Tiger's Den"

The eldest grandson muttered and repeated, and then smiled: "Then it depends on how my brother responds, but brother, think about it, no matter who my brother assists, isn't it different?" The ancients said that a companion is like a tiger, how much is trembling and how much is cautious, my brother should understand it more thoroughly than me. ”

"yes......"

Eldest Sun Wuji sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Fortunately, you and I are here, if you are in Chang'an today, the choice I will face will be even more dilemma." ”

The brother and sister were so engrossed in the carriage that they didn't notice that the procession had stopped. Li Xian urged the horse to the side of the carriage and instructed Nie Duodao: "You take three hundred cavalry to send Mr. Changsun's brothers and sisters back to Liyang first, Gu still has something to stay, and after returning to the camp, Cheng Zhijie will bring five thousand elite cavalry to join Gu immediately." This is a very serious matter and cannot be delayed. ”

Nie Duo saw that King Yan said solemnly, and did not dare to delay, and was about to set off with the three hundred military guards, when the curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, revealing the eldest grandson Wuji's extremely pale face because of excessive blood loss.

"I'd better stay."

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xian and said seriously: "Otherwise, how can you be convinced?" ”

His words were vague, but Li Xian understood. He nodded and instructed Nie Duodao: "After returning to Liyang, bring Xiao Di and bring the medicine box...... In addition, let Niu Jinda lead the troops across the river to press south, and Laiyuan's fleet will also dock on the south bank, and the sailors can land, not south. ”

"Obey orders!"

Nie Duo answered, and took the men and horses to escort the eldest grandson Wujian back to Liyang.

The eldest grandson Wuji was helped out of the carriage, and after hearing Li Xian's military order, his brows furrowed, and he immediately understood what Li Xian meant, and his face immediately became even more difficult to look at. Li Xian glanced at him and knew that his arrangement must not be hidden from him, so he asked with a smile: "What, do you think there is something wrong with Gu doing this?" ”

"Nope!"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, and suddenly smiled and said: "Use the way of others to govern the body of others, Your Highness has a clever plan." ”

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "What's the wonder?" It's just a little gossip. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said in his heart, King Yan, you are a small way, I am afraid that even if the Yin does not die King Qin, he will make him scare the boss.

Li Xian said with a smile: "I remember telling you before, since you have to stay in Liyang, then you are my person, since it is my person, then how can you sit idly by and ignore being bullied?" How he bullied you, how lonely he bullied back. At the beginning of the establishment of Yanyun Village, Lone said that there is only one rule in Yanyun Village, let's not bully others, and others should not bully Yanyun Village. Even if we bully others, others can't bully them back. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed very heartily: "This is really a good rule." ”

……

……

Three thousand fine horsemen do not stop, since leaving the Tang army camp, they have galloped all the way along the official road, Han Shixu assigned ranger scouts around the cavalry, and everyone he met on the road was killed, whether it was the people or Wang Shichong Zheng Jun's scout spies, no one was left.

The villages where the cavalry had passed were razed to the ground as well as any inhabitants. He led the army all the way to the direction of Liyang, and there were not many men and horses with him, in case Wang Shichong's scouts heard the news, if his men and horses were blocked, even if these 3,000 people were good at fighting, they were afraid that they would only be trapped alive. So he had to be careful, there were more people killed, but in the face of the must-do thing that had to be done to hide his tracks, it didn't seem to be worth feeling guilty about dying in many people.

He has led the army since he was a young man, and his heart has long been as hard as iron. In terms of being a man and an official, the current Han Shixu is a cautious and cautious person. But once in charge, he is a ruthless general.

The team galloped for three days in a row, and the cavalry was already so tired that they could no longer hurry. Han Shixu ordered the horses to rest for half a day in a small village where the people had been slaughtered, and then continued to drive north after nightfall.

Sitting down against a broken earthen wall, Han Shixu ate some dry food with cold water. He ordered the army not to light a fire for cooking, and even he could only eat some cold and hard dry food to satisfy his stomach. Now close to Wang Shichong's territory, there are not a few scouts encountered along the way, and if it attracts Zheng Jun, it will be a big trouble.

Looking at the eldest grandson Shunde sitting on the dirt slope not far away, the sympathy in Han Shixu's eyes became stronger and stronger. He untied the wine bag on his waist and asked his soldiers to send it to the eldest grandson Shunde. The soldiers took the wine sac and quickly ran over and handed it to the eldest grandson Shunde, who was in a daze. He already looked older than his peers, and the continuous travel in the past few days, coupled with the grief and anger in his heart, made him even more old.

Taking the wine sac over, the eldest grandson Shunde turned his gaze to Han Shixu's side. He helped his soldiers to get up slowly, and walked to Han Shixu's side and sat down with some trembling.

"Thank you"

He spoke softly, then unplugged the sac and took a big sip. It's almost winter, and the weather is quite cool at night, so after these few sips of spirits, my body is a little warmer. But the eldest grandson Shunde's heart was already half dead, and he still seemed to be trembling with the cold of the night wind.

"Don't worry too much, you won't be able to save it if you don't see it."

Han Shixuan glanced at him and said apologetically, "This matter ...... I know. Mr. Eldest Sun, I beg your forgiveness, although I know it, I will never tell you. ”

"I know."

Eldest Sun Shunde smiled bitterly and shook his head: "How can I blame you?" I don't even blame King Qin. It's only to blame that I'm in such a position......"

"Then you're blaming Your Majesty."

Han Shixuan took the wine bag and took a sip and said, "I can have today, isn't it because of His Majesty's whim?" ”

Although the eldest grandson Shunde felt uncomfortable in his heart, although he was very drunk, he still maintained his vigilance: "How dare you as a minister, how can you blame Your Majesty?" Besides, His Majesty's arrangement is also very reasonable. It's just that I didn't expect it to come to this point, their brothers and sisters were brought up by me, if they die unjustly, how can I explain to their parents after I die? ”

Han Shixuan shook his head, and suddenly asked in a serious tone, "You really don't hate King Qin?" ”

"Hate?"

The eldest grandson Shunde shook his head and said, "Hate is useful? ”

"King Qin is actually still thinking about your feelings, when this plan was decided that day, Pharmacist Li persuaded His Royal Highness the King of Qin to kill the eldest grandson Wuji and kill you first. Of course, the death of the eldest grandson Wuji can be pushed onto Wang Shichong, and even to Li Xian, the king of Yan. ”

"Li Jing! He's a heartless guy! ”

The eldest grandson Shunde gritted his teeth and scolded, then looked at Han Shixuan and pleaded: "Let's continue to hurry after a little rest, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"The soldiers are too tired, even if they can not be sympathetic to the soldiers, let the war horses rest. Mr. Changsun, you are also leading the troops to fight, so you naturally understand that I am not deliberately delaying by doing this. ”

"I ...... I know, but my heart is too urgent. ”

"King Qin originally came in person."

Han Shixuan said suddenly.

"King Qin? What did he come to do? Let's see if their brother and sister are not dead, and if they are not dead, they will make up for it? ”

Han Shixuan was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard the soldiers on guard outside shouting, "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

The faces of Changsun Shunde and him changed, and Han Shicao fiercely pulled out his horizontal knife and said: "Mr. Changsun, you take your personal soldiers to the flank and detour, I will lead people to meet the enemy head-on, if the enemy army is too strong, you will withdraw all the way to the north, and I will come to the palace!" ”

"Thank you!"

The eldest grandson, Shunde, glanced at Han Shixu gratefully and strode into the distance. He beckoned more than 200 of his own soldiers, including more than 20 dead soldiers from the eldest grandson's family, to get on their horses and make a detour to the flank, but at this time, Han Shixu, who was standing on the dirt slope, suddenly shouted loudly.

"The eldest grandson Shunde colluded with Wang Shichong, intending to defect, and killed him at the beheaval of His Majesty!"

After this loud shout, the archers who had been ambushed around for a long time rushed up, and the eldest grandson Shunde and the others did not react, and they were covered by a rain of arrows in an instant. Thousands of cavalrymen used crossbows and hard bows to shoot arrows continuously until the eldest grandson Shunde and more than 200 of his own soldiers were all shot into hedgehogs.

"Lone didn't see the wrong person, the pharmacist said that if he left this matter to you, there would be no mistakes, but I didn't expect you to be so decisive, good, good!"

A personal soldier standing beside Han Shixu took off his helmet and said with a smile, it was Li Shimin, the king of Qin.

"Your Highness...... The minister did not dare to be mistaken. ”

Han Shixu said truthfully.

I don't know if the eldest grandson Shunde understood Han Shicao's sympathetic eyes before he died.
