Chapter 734: The Decisive Battle Before the Decisive Battle (3)

Li Xian looked at the map and thought about the strategy during the march, and did not deliberately instruct Ashina to form an association. This stubborn teenager just followed his own temperament, repeating the path that Li Xian had walked step by step. practiced and studied, but he still had the strength to follow Li Xian to see how he handled military affairs.

He is like a black hole, small but desperately devouring everything he needs.

There is still a few days away from Wudang Mountain, but Ye Huaixi doesn't seem to feel that his daily life is boring and hard.

Sitting in Ye Huai's carriage, Ye Huaixi silently applied medicine to the wound on his left hand. Although the wounds are not deep, there are many, dense like the marks of crawling insects back and forth on the flat sand. He lowered his head and frowned slightly, not knowing if the wound was still hurting or because of something else.

"Will it not be able to recover?"

After applying the ointment, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"The medicine of the Second Department of the Military Inspectorate is excellent......"

Ye Huaisleeve glanced at his hand, then shook his head and said, "But the wounds on your hand are too dense, even if the medicine of the second part is good, there is no guarantee that the recovery will be the same...... I thought you wouldn't care, it seems that no matter how stubborn you are and how ruthless you are to yourself, but the love of beauty is still innate, and you can't change it. ”

Ye Huaixi's hand trembled slightly, and then he shook his head with a smile: "If you can't recover, you can't recover, it's nothing." You've also lived on the steppe for a long time, so surely you know that...... A wolf that is flawless from head to toe will definitely be looked down upon by his companions and will be ostracized. Because it has no scars on its body and no gaps in its ears, it means that it has not relied on its own ability to hunt and kill...... I don't want to be a wolf without a single scar. ”

"That's a wolf, not a human."

Ye Huaisleeve said softly.

"That's not right!"

Ye Huaixi shook his head firmly: "My sister said that the reason why the grassland people respect wolves is because the wolf's temperament is the most suitable for surviving on the grassland. She also once said that wolves can rule other things in the grassland because they are ruthless enough, whether they are cruel enough to other things or to themselves. ”

"I once saw a wild wolf with its leg caught in the iron pincers laid by the hunters, and with little hesitation it bit off its own pinched leg, and then limped out, found a place where there was herbs, chewed them and spat on the wound."

Ye Huaisleeve was slightly stunned, looked at him and asked, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

Ye Huaixi raised his left hand and smiled: "What I want to say is that although it doesn't look beautiful anymore, it's nothing...... Isn't it? ”

"There's nothing in your heart and not in your mouth."

Ye Huaisleeve did not object, nor did he approve.

"I don't know if I should advise you."

Ye Huaisleeve looked at Ye Huaixi's eyes and said, "Have you ever thought about what your husband will think of this?" After all...... You are a prairie man. And your husband wants to be a person who dominates the Central Plains, and you can still follow him and learn a lot of things...... But wouldn't it be ironic if, after returning to the grassland, you invade the Central Plains with what you have learned? How will your husband deal with it? ”

"I'm not going to do anything to be sorry for Mr."

Ye Huaixi said without the slightest hesitation.

"Why? Just because he's your husband? ”

"No!"

Ye Huaixi raised his head, looked at Ye Huaixi's eyes and said, "Because my sister ...... My sister didn't want me to do that. My sister said that if I led the army to invade the south in the future, she would die in front of my warhorse. This scene has appeared in my dreams countless times, and each time it scares me out of sweat, helplessness and fear. I also once asked myself, between Khan and my sister, what would I choose? ”

She nodded firmly and said, "It's sister!" ”

Ye Huaisleeve also nodded, she could understand why the young man in front of her had such a strong sense of dependence on Ashina Duoduo. Because of his identity, Ashina Jishi has not let people contact him since he was a child, and of course, he will not let him easily contact others. From childhood to adulthood, only Ashina Duoduo took care of him and loved him in his life. Only one of his sisters in his childhood was warm, and the others were cold symbols. Including his father, Ashina Jishi.

Ye Huaixi suddenly thought of something, and then asked Ye Huaisleeve seriously: "Will Mr. be unwilling to teach me anything seriously because of my identity?" ”

Ye Huaisleeve shook his head and said, "On the contrary, if it weren't for the fact that you were a ...... How could he possibly accept you as a disciple? He is a calm man and does not teach an enemy with his own hands. But you should also be able to imagine that he is worried about the steppe khan after you......"

"The steppe khan after me?"

Ye Huaixi was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Ye Huaixi meant.

"Your husband can make you great, and you can make your son great. Although you are still young, you yourself should know that your mission is only a transition, so that the Khan of the steppe will still be the bloodline of the Ashina family. So, when your child inherits the throne in the future and is still an excellent khan...... Will he use troops against the Central Plains? ”

"I see!"

Ye Huaixi nodded, and there was a firmness in his eyes that did not match his age: "Actually, I have already thought about how to choose the next generation of khans." ”

Ye Huaisleeve didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't see the hostility in his eyes.

Ye Huaixi smiled and told himself in his heart.

My sister gave it to me, and I'll give it back to my sister. The reason why I want to mature so desperately now is just because I don't want my sister to work so hard alone.

He didn't say that.

……

Outside the city of Xiangyang

The entire camp of the Qin Wangjun finally regained calm after a full half day of noisy, all the horses were broken up and reorganized, and the tens of thousands of soldiers under Han Shixu's cronies were completely dispersed by Li Shimin, and they were all incorporated into the first three armies, which were the main forces used to meet the reinforcements of the Liang army.

The reason why Li Shimin is confident that he can defeat Xiao Miao's reinforcements is not because he is arrogant. After several years of life and death, Li Shimin's grasp of the situation is actually very accurate. It's just that the arrogance that comes from the humility of his temperament sometimes makes him lose his mind.

There are two very contradictory aspects of his character, and the root of it is because of his experience of growing up alone in the old mansion of Longyou.

He felt humble, so he was proud.

When Xiao Mo called King Liang, it was when his strength swelled to the extreme. At that time, Xiao Mo had many generals who could fight well. But since Xiao Mo was also proclaimed emperor in the first year of Tang Wude, this prosperous situation has gradually gone downhill.

Because the generals under him are proud of their achievements, the military power and military orders are mostly self-determined rather than asking Xiao Mill for advice. This made Xiao Mo a little worried, so he began to dismiss the generals and regain military power. This practice aroused the dissatisfaction of his border generals and town commanders, and some people rebelled one after another. Xiao Mo made several personal expeditions and killed all the rebels, but his strength was also greatly damaged. After that, he sent the general Yang Daosheng to lead the army to attack Shaanzhou, but was defeated by Xu Shao, the assassin of Shaanzhou, six or seven out of ten of the soldiers were killed, and the strength of the Liang army was lost again.

After that, many of the generals in the Liang army defected. Speaking of which, he was the 400,000 elite soldiers and dozens of generals when he was King of Liang, and now there are only a handful left.

In Xiangyang City, there were only two people left who initially assisted his generals, one was Zhou Fangwu, the general of the garrison, and the other was Shang Shutian Wenjing. The commander sent to the southern expedition was also his close general, named Xu Xuanche. The marching commander Shi Guohua, and the champion general, Zheng Wenxiu, the deputy marshal of the Southern Expedition. These people are Xiao Miao's current reliance.

Since the generals rebelled one after another, the Liang army killed each other, and most of the 400,000 elites had actually been lost, and the men and horses recruited later were far less good at fighting than the original veterans.

This is the reason why Li Shimin firmly believes that he can defeat Xiao Miao.

In Li Shimin's military tent, looking at the map in front of him, there was irrepressible excitement in Li Shimin's voice.

"If this battle is won, the Liang Kingdom will be wiped out by nine points!"

He looked at Wei Chi Gong and asked, "The first three armies are under the command of Wei Chi...... Wei Chi, you are seriously injured, can you fight again? ”

"Although the minister only has brute strength, how dare he not do his best!"

Wei Chigong hugged his fists.

"Heir 13...... Lone will give you another 10,000 elite horsemen, and use you as a surprise soldier...... Wei Chi confronts the enemy head-on, while you sneak up on the back road of the Liang army's reinforcements. Burn their baggage, and kill their footmen. Success or failure is more on you. ”

"The last general is terrified, and I am afraid that I am not up to the task."

The thirteenth bow his head.

"I can trust you!"

Li Shimin patted Si Thirteen's shoulder and said, "You have this ability." ”

He said with a look of hope in his eyes: "Although you did things under the lonely tent at the beginning, but only in the battle of your light cavalry to kill Han Shixu, Gu knows that you can do this well, and the decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Liang army, if you can make a great contribution...... Even if you want to go back to Li Daozong's side, you are not allowed to be alone. If you enter Xiangyang City alone, you will be crowned a prince! ”

The thirteenth look of the heir changed, and he lowered his head and said, "The last general...... Do all in one's power. ”

……

……

Less than thirty miles away from Xiangyang City, standing on a high slope, Xu Xuanche, the generalissimo of Liang's southern expedition, looked at the Gao Cheng that was faintly visible across the Han River, and couldn't help but shake his head at the endless Qin Wang army camp outside the Gao City. This battle is a matter of life and death for Da Liang, how dare he be cautious.

"Marshal, the soldiers are too tired, are they not in a hurry to attack when they have arrived here? Soldiers...... There is no power to fight. ”

Deputy Marshal Zheng Wenxiu said in a hoarse voice.

"I know...... But you should also understand how anxious Your Majesty will be to wait for our return. Even if it is a dozen fights, this battle still cannot be delayed. Let Your Majesty understand our intentions, and let the people and soldiers in the city have a hope, and they can't be delayed. ”

"Okay, I'll take someone to fight for a while."

Zheng Wenxiu said: "It is rumored that Li Shimin's army rebelled yesterday, and it spread widely. Han Shixu led the army to rebel, and although he was beheaded by Li Shimin's generals, he also injured Li Shimin. I heard that Li Shimin was seriously injured...... I just don't know if it's true or not. If it is true, it can be changed from a feint attack to a fierce attack, and maybe Li Shimin's remnants will be wiped out in one fell swoop! ”

"We've just arrived, and we have this opportunity......"

Xu Xuanche shook his head and said, "I always feel that it is too easy, will it ...... It was Li Shimin's plan to lure the enemy. ”

"Anyway, I'm going to fight, I'll talk about it after I fight!"

Changshi Guo Hua said angrily: "Our southern expedition has been ruined by Li Shimin's fight. The army is tired from afar, and this battle has to be fought again! In that case, why do you care so much? Just fight, in my opinion, it's better to kill it in one go! ”

"Kill ......"

Zheng Wenxiu was just about to take it and say it, but he was stunned after saying a word.

A thick layer of dust and smoke swept in from the northwest, and it looked like a thick dark cloud was slowly pressing down. Far away, the sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground had reached my ears like thunder.

"That's ......"

Zheng Wenxiu pointed over there, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "When did Li Shimin's soldiers cross the Han River?" ”

"Blow the horn! Array! ”

Xu Xuanche ordered loudly, his face solemn.
