Chapter 678: Brother and sister who returned to Chang'an

Dugu Yirou's corpse fell limply and fell on the other side of the dead wood. There was a dagger stuck in her heart, which was Li Shimin's personal weapon. Since he knew that Yan King Li Xian had at least dozens of life-saving methods, Li Shimin also felt that he should do so. So he also had an extra deerskin pouch on his body, which contained poison and a dagger.

Li Shimin looked at Dugu Yirou's corpse, thought about the conversation between the two people just now, and then shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that Dugu Yirou must have noticed it before he moved to kill, so she pretended to be happy and made a look of attachment to herself.

But it's late, Li Shimin's temptation has already been answered, and Dugu Yirou woke up a little late, so even if she wants to make up for it, there is no point.

The current Li Shimin, in addition to killing himself, may not have any obstacles for him to kill anyone, as long as his interests are touched, his relatives can also be killed.

He killed Dugu Yirou because now Dugu Yirou has no value in existence. There is no shortage of women around him, so naturally he doesn't have to be obsessed with a broken woman. Even if she wears the red dress again, even if only she can dance in that part of the Heavenly Sound Dance, she is no longer the same person.

As Li Shimin just said, getting along with two people who have the smell of human flesh in their mouths is actually an extremely disgusting thing, and no one can necessarily stand it.

After killing Dugu Yirou, Li Shimin did not leave, but sat down on the dead wood again and looked at her corpse in a daze. He sat like this for half an hour, and it wasn't until Wei Chigong brought someone to find him that he woke up from his contemplation.

When he saw Dugu Yirou's corpse, Wei Chigong was obviously startled.

"Lord...... This is? ”

His face was full of incredulity, and he never imagined that he would see such a scene. When Li Shimin walked out of the big tent, he followed behind with his guards. Seeing Li Shimin sitting next to Dugu Yirou, he naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so he left with the guards and stood guard in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and Han Shixu came to Li Shimin to discuss military affairs, and he approached. In any case, he did not expect to see a corpse.

"Buried it."

Li Shimin didn't explain anything, but stood up and said lightly, and then slowly walked in the direction of Daying, as if Dugu Yirou's death had no effect on him in the slightest. Wei Chigong opened his mouth wide in surprise, looked at Li Shimin's back and swallowed with great difficulty, and couldn't help but ask, "Lord...... Do you want to punch a coffin? ”

"Not necessarily."

Li Shimin paused for a moment, but did not look back: "This forest has a good scenery, so bury it here." For her, the coffin did not mean anything. ”

Wei Chigong didn't understand what this sentence meant, but he didn't want to disobey King Qin's order. Someone dug a pit in the forest, threw Dugu Yirou's body into it and covered it up. Wei Chigong always felt that Dugu Yirou's eyes were staring at his face, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and fled back to the camp in embarrassment. Since he assisted Liu Wuzhou, he has not counted killing, when would he ever be afraid of a corpse, but today, he always felt that Dugu Yirou's eyes were so fierce and terrifying.

After returning to the big tent, Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten what had just happened, his face was calm, and when he saw Han Shixu, there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What's the matter?"

He asked.

"Nanzhang Shou General Qi Shuming just sent someone over, the lord is not there, I saw the messenger, the messenger said something important, the minister did not dare to make his own decisions, so I had to ask General Wei Chi to find you."

"Oh?"

After Li Shimin sat down, he asked, "What did Qi Shuming send people for?" It can't be a beggar. ”

"I'm here to beg."

Han Shixu said: "Qi Shuming sent a messenger to come, saying that he did not dare to stop the lord's army, did not dare to offend the lord's army, and after thinking twice, for the sake of tens of thousands of people in Nanzhang City, he decided to surrender to you." ”

"That's great!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stand up again: "Where is the messenger?" ”

"It's right outside."

"Call him in."

"Lord!"

Han Shixu looked at Li Shimin, hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is not appropriate." ”

……

……

This year, the section of the Yellow River from Hedong to Dongping County has been very quiet and honest, or because of the drought in the upper reaches, there has been no flooding, and the people on both sides of the river are much more steady. But if there are no natural disasters, it does not mean that the people can be healthy, and the most man-made disasters are before the troubled times are over.

At the end of June, Dou Jiande, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom of Hebei, personally led an army of 400,000 troops across the Yellow River and posed for a large-scale attack on Dongping County, the base of the Yan king Li Xian. The people along the river on the south bank have moved into the giant field for refuge, and now on the ground on the south side of the Yellow River, no one can see it except for the soldiers.

But even if Dou Jiande crossed the Yellow River, the control of the river was still in the hands of Yan Yunjun. Su Shengcai's sailors have hundreds of warships, although they have resisted Dou Jiande for a while and lost some ships, but their scale and combat power should not be underestimated.

After Su Shengcai got out of the way, Dou Jiande was able to go south. But when the Xia army arrived on the south bank, Su Shengcai led the sailors to raid the Xia army's fleet, relying on dozens of Wuya ships and hundreds of Huanglong clippers under his command, he unscrupulously slaughtered the Xia army's sailors on the water for a while, killing thousands of people, destroying hundreds of ships, and then drove away, and went down the river to enter Juyeze again.

Dou Jiande was angry, but he was helpless about it.

And what made him most angry was not Su Shengcai's cunning, but Yu Wenshiji's cunning.

No matter how realistic he looked, Yu Wenshi didn't withdraw his men and horses to Dongping County to garrison. Instead, he did not move on the periphery of the eastern capital, and Dou Jiande's plan to lead the Yanyun army back to the defense and relieve the siege of the eastern capital failed. He can only take the men and horses to fight a tough battle with Yuwenshi, if it is just a Yuwenshi, it is just that, but because of his arrival, the Tang army and the Yanyun army have the same hatred, and now Li Daozong and Yuwenshi and the army are together, this battle is really not easy to fight.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that the main force of Yan Yun's army is in Chang'an, take the opportunity to gain a foothold on the south bank of the Yellow River, and wait for Yan Wang Li Xian to take Chang'an and then lead the army back, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to develop southward.

The land of a hundred battles in Hebei has not stopped since the beginning of the eighth year of the great cause. Yang Shanhui, Yang Yichen, and Xue Shixiong, the famous generals of the late Sui Dynasty, all led their troops to fight with the rebels on this land, and these people died one after another, and Li Xian, the king of Yan, began to attack and harass, and it was rare to have a few months without fighting.

The people are not allowed to live in peace, the land is tired, and it is difficult to expand the strength of Hebei again, relying on the current territory of Dou Jiande to raise 500,000 horses has reached the limit, and if you want to increase the army, what you must do is to increase the territory.

Luo Yi does not try to forge ahead, but only sticks to Zhuo County. Youzhou soldiers are also very good at fighting, and Dou Jiande has not asked for benefits when he went north several times. Besides, Zhuo County has been squeezed by Luo Yi like scraping the ground for many years, and it is already extremely difficult to feed the five thousand tiger ben, even if he wins Zhuo County, it will not be good for Xia Guo.

The only option is to go south.

But there was a tiger entrenched on the south bank of the Yellow River, and he did not dare to move lightly.

If it weren't for Wang Shichong's danger, he wouldn't have made up his mind to go south.

Now in front of him are 200,000 coalition troops, Li Daozong and Yu Wenshi are all famous generals in the world, Dou Jiande actually does not have much certainty of victory, but there is no way out.

"I'm going to transfer Wang Fubao's men back."

Dou Jiande glanced at his brother-in-law Cao Dan, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Cao Dan is generally barely a qualified general, but his vision is not broad enough, and his thinking is not cautious enough.

"There is a lack of generals in the army, and it makes no sense for him to confront Daxi Changru. After all, this time I came to relieve the siege of Dongdu, and the consumption of troops in Dongping County was a waste. ”

Cao Dan snorted, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart: "It's not meaningless for Wang Fubao to hold the back road, although Daxi Changru doesn't have many soldiers, but there are only twenty or thirty thousand people, but if no one is in charge, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not disturb the back road of the army." I was going to rob Dongping County, and the summer grain in Dongjun and Dongjun was used for military use, but now I didn't grab a few grains of grain...... If the grain route is cut off by Daxi Changru again, the army will be in danger. ”

"That's what Lao Cheng said."

Dou Jiande thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty can personally lead the army to hold on to the thieves here, and then send a general to lead the army to bypass the thieves and attack Xingluocang. Xingluocang has tens of millions of stone grain, and if you get the Xingluocang army, you don't have to worry about the lack of grain and grass. ”

"A strategy is a good strategy, but who can do it?"

Dou Jiande shook his head and said: "I still have to transfer Wang Fubao back, if Cheng Mingzhen doesn't escape, he is also a suitable candidate." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take on this important responsibility!"

Cao Dan said sincerely.

Dou Jiande wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, Tang Jun and Yan Yunjun were both restrained by themselves, and no matter who attacked Xingluocang, there would be no difference, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I will give you 20,000 elite soldiers, and you must take Xingluocang!" ”

……

……

On the Yellow River, when the soldiers of the Xia Army's water division were still busy repairing damaged ships, the Yanyun Army's water division, which had just raided the water village a few days ago, appeared in their sight again, and suddenly, there was a big chaos in the Xia army's water village. The general who led the troops hurriedly sent troops to meet the battle, and then mobilized archers to guard Dazhai.

But Yan Yunjun's sailor just shook a shot and rushed out upstream with the Xia Army's water village. After escorting dozens of ships through this section, Yan Yunjun's sailors blatantly returned to Juyeze with the Xia Army's water village.

On the dozens of ships escorted out, there were not only many officials in Yanyun Village, but also many valuable things and many confidential information files. The first big ship to personally guard these things was Du Ruhan, the head of the Chinese ministers of Yan Yunjun. The second large ship was much less numerous, but it was full of gold and silver.

Sitting on the second big ship is the eldest grandson Wuji.

After passing the Xia Jun Water Village with some trepidation, the eldest grandson Wuji's heart was also relaxed. After crossing this waterway, there is no danger, and Yang Fan can go straight to Chang'an all the way.

"Brother"

The beautiful woman standing behind the eldest grandson Wuji looked at the river and said with some emotion: "When you go back to Chang'an this time, do you have any uneasiness in your heart?" ”

The eldest grandson straightened his hair that was blown by the river wind, but there was nothing unusual on his face.

"King Yan won't make me uneasy."

Eldest Sun Wuji smiled and said, "This time I went back, I really went home." ”

"You ......"

Eldest Sun Wuji hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Do you still have him in your heart?" ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and was silent, silent.

The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say that he didn't have you in his heart, but he couldn't say anything when he saw his sister's pitiful appearance. I can only sigh and say that everything is fate.
