Changan.

Li Xiuning and Li Jiancheng are two.

Li Jiancheng did not shy away from it, and said straight to the point: "Chengzong is going to Dingzhou to join forces with Li Xuantong and prepare to block Liu Heimin." I hope my little sister will help me go on a trip, after all, I am not very relieved in Dingzhou. ”

Li Xiuning smiled and said: "It's really polite for the eldest brother to arrive, of course I can take a trip to the little sister, but does the eldest brother have something to say?"

Li Jiancheng smiled: "Say? Little sister, you can tell what you want, and you don't have to play dumb riddles with your eldest brother. ”

Li Xiuning said: "Then I'm not welcome, I heard that not long ago, my little nephew sent a lot of gifts to my eldest brother?"

"A large part of it is given to the palace, and the rest is given to you, so let's do it!" Li Jiancheng said.

"I'll be disrespectful to that little sister, thank you big brother." Li Xiuning said.

Li Jiancheng doesn't feel a pity at all, who is Li Xiuning? The dignified commander of the Women's Army is even more beloved than Li Shimin in Li Yuan's eyes.

It's a pity that Li Xiuning seems to have died relatively early, Wude died when he was six years old, and it is rumored that he was also killed in the battle to exterminate Liu Heimin, but it is unknown how it happened.

I don't know if Li Xiuning, who followed Li Chengzong, can survive.

Dingzhou.

Li Xuantong was very happy when he learned that Li Chengzong personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to help.

Li Xuandao: "The king of Taiyuan County is here, and the army's morale is greatly boosted, I think that Liu Heimin's army will definitely not be able to defeat our Dingzhou City."

Li Chengzong said: "Marching and fighting, it's not that I belittle myself, I'm really not good, everything is still hopeful for Manager Li." However, my subordinates Xue Wanche, Shan Xiongxin, Li Shiji and Yin Qiu are all people who can fight well, and I am also very relieved of their abilities. ”

Dingzhou territory, of course Li Chengzong will not want to have any conflict with Li Xuantong, which basically means that you guard yours and I will do mine. It's best if everyone doesn't interfere with each other.

Li Xuantong said secretly: "This is the best, Xue Wanche, Shan Xiongxin and others are also famous generals in the world, and they can rest assured that they are in this battle." Moreover, looking at the meaning of the king of Taiyuan County, he will not interfere with his troops at will, so there is a lot less trouble. ”

Li Chengzong returned to his residence, and he said to Xue Wanche and Shan Xiongxin: "This time, Xiao Wang, whether I can become famous in one fell swoop depends on you."

Xue Wanche and the others hurriedly got up and said, "The last general will definitely work together to defeat Liu Heimin."

Li Chengzong smiled: "I believe in you very much. However, Liu Heimin has been really fierce recently, and the morale of Luo Yi and Li Shentong is even stronger, so you still have to be careful. I don't know what you think, you might as well take it out and study it, as the so-called unity is strength. ”

Shan Xiongxin said: "Our army's 5,000 cavalry are well-equipped, and there are even horseshoes invented by the prince, and the soldiers are mostly well-trained. I suggest that the last general lead the cavalry to attack his grain route, so that Liu Heimin can be broken back into defense. ”

"The idea is good, Hebei is a flat river, and it is indeed suitable for cavalry mobile combat." Li Chengzong said.

Xue Wanche said in a deep voice: "There are many high walls inside and outside Dingzhou City, we can't defend it, and I don't expect Liu Heimin to break through the city." However, the defense equipment now needs to be replenished a lot, especially bows and arrows and rolling stones. ”

Li Chengzong said again: "This idea is not bad, the siege losses are very large, Liu Heimin definitely can't bear to let the tens of thousands of horses that his subordinates have gathered with great difficulty fight a war of attrition with us purely here."

Whoever Li Chengzong said sounded reasonable, but he didn't understand it himself anyway, so he directly delegated power to Shan Xiongxin and Xue Wanche to be responsible.

Li Chengzong said: "General Shan and General Xu led 5,000 cavalry to attack the grain road behind Liu Heimin. General Xue and General Yin Qiu were here to help Li Xuantong defend the city and kill Liu Heimin. ”

"Obey" several people were ordered to go down and prepare.

Wei Zheng said: "The king of the county appoints people on the basis of merit, meritocracy, and great goodness."

Li Chengzong thought to himself, I want to go on it myself, but I can't do it!

But on the surface, he still said happily: "Lord Wei doesn't need to praise, the victory or defeat between us and Liu Heimin this time is not yet known, if it is really our big victory, it is not too late for Lord Wei to praise."

Wei Zheng said: "This time, Dingzhou is guarded by the king of the county, and several generals such as Xue Wanche are fighting to the death, and they will definitely be able to win a big victory."

"I hope so." Li Chengzong thought to himself.

Outside Dingzhou.

Liu Heimin had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he himself was full of confidence in the capture of Dingzhou City, but the news that came one after another couldn't help but make him a little worried.

Li Chengzong, who had been hiding in Zhaozhou, actually came to Dingzhou with 20,000 soldiers and horses. What's even more infuriating is that Li Chengzong also brought Xue Wanche, Shan Xiongxin and other generals. In addition, the spy reported that Li Chengzong's soldiers and horses were all armored and well-equipped, and there were thousands of cavalry.

It was not easy to train cavalry in these years, at least there were no cavalry under Liu Heimin who could fight, not even a group of decent horses.

Liu Heimin scratched his head a little at the situation in front of him.

Liu Heimin was anxious about Fan Yuan next to him. Wang Xiaohu and the others were not in a hurry at all. They feel that Liu Heimin is destined by heaven, he is destined by God, and no one will lose.

Wang Xiaohu said: "Why bother the general, I am willing to be the vanguard of the siege tomorrow and break through the city gate to meet the general."

Although Fan Yuan didn't believe that Liu Heimin would lose, he also said cautiously: "After all, Li Chengzong's 20,000 horses are well-equipped, and there are several months of training by Xue Wanche, Shan Xiongxin and others, so it's better not to take it lightly."

Wang Xiaohu said: "If you are afraid of a fart, you have to do well-equipped and well-trained." I don't believe it, a teenage doll can be more difficult to deal with than Li Shentong and Luo Yi?"

"That's not the case, Xue Wanche and Shan Xiongxin are by no means worse than Li Shentong and Luo Yi, plus the Dingzhou governor who is both civil and military, I think this battle is not easy." Fan Yuandao.

Liu Heimin thought for a while and said: "Shan Xiongxin and the Li family have a grudge, we might as well spread some rumors that Shan Xiongxin is preparing to oppose the Tang Dynasty, it is best to let Li Chengzong kill him, and at worst, Li Chengzong will deprive Shan Xiongxin of his soldiers and horses."

Fan Yuan said: "This plan is very good. There is also Yin Qiu, he was originally a person under the command of King Xia, we might as well see if we can buy him secretly, so that we can win even more surely. ”

Liu Heimin gave you a great look.

Then, the city of Dingzhou suddenly began to spread rumors against Shan Xiongxin. Li Xuantong suggested that no matter whether it was true or not, control Shan Xiongxin first.

However, Li Chengzong disagreed, and still handed over all the 5,000 cavalry to Shan Xiongxin and asked him to go out of the city to attack Liu Heimin.

Shan Xiongxin was so moved that he couldn't do it, and when he left, he promised Li Chengzong that if he didn't make the back of Liu Heimin, a bastard, jump around, he would come to see him.

Xu Shiji thought to himself, is this Li Chengzong really a teenager? Something so big happened, how dare he still rest assured that he would let Shan Xiongxin go?

Li Chengzong doesn't care what others think, but he thinks that there are rumors in the city for no reason, this matter must be false, if Shan Xiongxin really wants to rebel, but it is too late to conceal it, how can it be discovered, and it will spread so quickly?

In fact, this kind of thing still has to divide people. If Li Chengzong is replaced by Li Jiancheng, maybe this matter will be done, who made Li Jiancheng suspicious and cautious and small-minded!

Besides, on Yin Qiu's side, Liu Heimin's people were arrested by him as soon as he said a few words.

Just kidding, Lao Tzu surrendered that was allowed by King Xia, and I, Nima, just let Lao Tzu surrender after a few days of stable life, so what did Lao Tzu become?

Yin Qiu showed his loyalty, spitting in front of Li Chengzong, and his arms fluttered.

Li Chengzong said: "It's okay, General Yin, this king knows that you are loyal."

As for the envoy sent by Liu Heimin, Li Chengzong let him go with a wave of his hand, and asked him to tell Liu Heimin that if he wanted to fight, he would fight openly and honestly, and avoid these evil ways.

Li Chengzong's words are really not light, think about himself, a general in his thirties, was actually despised by a doll, so how did he get it.

Liu Heimin personally led the team the next day and vowed to take Dingzhou City.

When Li Xiuning arrived in Dingzhou, Liu Heimin's army was attacking the city. Li Xiuning saw that the rebels of Liu Heimin under the city rushed forward regardless of life and death. But Xue Wanche and Li Xuantong in the city are not vegetarians, and the commander is stunned to beat Liu Heimin again and again.

Xue Wanche saw Li Xiuning and hurriedly said, "The last general has seen Princess Pingyang."

Li Xiuning nodded and said, "What about you Taiyuan County King?"

Xue Wanche paused, and then whispered: "At this time, I think the king of the county is taking a nap!"

"Say it to me again!" Li Xiuning's eyes widened and he asked in a cold voice.

Xue Wanche thought, King Jun, you can't blame me for not being righteous enough! It is true that she can't bear Princess Pingyang, it's not fake.

"Take a nap" Xue Wanche said cautiously and quietly.

Li Xiuning gritted his teeth and said: "It's really my Li family's thousand-mile horse, the future pillar of the country, and I really have the ability to collapse Mount Tai in front of me without changing my face!"

I don't know why, it's obviously some words praising Li Chengzong, but Xue Wan sounds so cold!

On this hot day, Xue Wanche was very cool.
