Huoyi County is located in the north of Linfen County, is the boundary of Shangdang County, Xihe County, Longquan County, the strategic location is very important, especially the north of Huoyi County is Gaobi Ridge, the mountains are undulating and steep, like a huge barrier blocking the road to the north, and the east of Huoyi County is also a mountain range, Jieshan, Huoshan, Wuling Mountain three large mountain ranges stretch for thousands of miles, separating the south of Hedong Road into two

In that year, Yang Su's army went east to conquer Yang Liang, the king of the Han Dynasty, and it was in Huoyi County that Yang Liang's army fought a final decisive battle, Zhang Xutuo burned more than 100,000 people to death on the Gaobi Ridge, killed Xiao Maha, and defeated Yang Liang.

Eleven years have passed in a flash, Huoyi County has become not quiet because of its extremely important strategic location, Hejin thief Marshal Wuduan led 80,000 troops to occupy Huoyi County as the old nest, divided troops to plunder Shangdang, Xihe, Longquan counties and counties, rape and burn killing, where they passed, the red fields were everywhere.

At this time, the Hedong Provincial Capture Ambassador, Taiyuan Left Behind Li Yuan led 20,000 troops to the south, and the thief army, in the rumbling drums, the two armies launched a fierce battle on the west bank of Fenshui, Li Yuan led the Chinese army 10,000 infantry to form an infantry formation, with a strong bow and crossbow to resist the enemy's main attack, and the second son Li Shimin led 5,000 cavalry to attack the left wing of the thief army, and his nephew Li Xiaogong also led 5,000 cavalry to attack the right wing of the thief army.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The agitated drums resounded on the west bank of Fenshui, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and the sophisticated equipment made the Sui army although it fought less and more, but it was not at all at a disadvantage, Li Shimin led the army to attack again and again, and gradually, the Chinese army became thinner and thinner, and the Chinese army commander flag could already be seen.

When Li Shimin saw the opportunity coming, he immediately shouted loudly: "Pass on my order, cut off the thief army commander flag, reward 1,000 taels of silver, and promote the official to the third level!" ”

The morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted, and the offensive rushed towards the enemy's banner like a tide, Li Xuanba wielded a sledgehammer and rampaged through the enemy army, and the corpses were piled up everywhere he passed, and under his hammer, either his brains were bursting, or his bones and tendons were broken, and the state of death was shocking.

The handsome flag is inserted on a carriage, the flagpole is as thick as a wrist, and the height is about two zhang is a large green flag, on which is written a big 'no, the word.

Seeing that he was in front of the big flag, Li Xuanba roared and swung his hammer at the flagpole At this moment, a steel whip was faster than him, and the heavy steel whip hit the flagpole, and the flagpole 'clicked! , broken, and fell with a bang.

Li Xuanba was furious, turned around and looked, only to see the brigade commander Chi Gong rushing out from the other side, as fast as a thunderbolt, snatching away the handsome flag, running and shouting: "The handsome flag has fallen!" The handsome flag has fallen! ”

Li Xuanba was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, he swung his hammer and smashed it at the horse carrying the handsome flag, only to hear a long neigh, the horse was smashed to the point that the skull was shattered, and he died tragically and fell to the ground

He pointed his hammer at Wei Chigong and scolded: "Xianbei slave, dare to rob me of my credit!" ”

The handsome flag was captured, the morale of the thief army was shaken, and the whole line began to collapse, tens of thousands of thief soldiers scattered and fled, Li Yuan saw that the victory was decided, and issued an order to surrender and not kill.

The cavalry of the Sui army surrounded with a long snake formation, the thieves fled without a way, countless soldiers knelt and surrendered, in this battle, the thief commander Wuduer was completely annihilated, the 80,000 army was killed nearly 20,000, only more than 1,000 escaped, and the remaining nearly 60,000 people all surrendered, and the thief commander Wuduer was killed by random arrows.

Li Yuan saw that there were a lot of soldiers, he was very proud in his heart, at this time, the second son Li Shimin stepped forward and saluted: "Father, the first merit of this battle is the brigade commander Chi Gong under the child's command, the child made it clear in advance, the person who won the handsome flag will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the third level, and I implore my father to be promoted to his eagle general, and reward him with two silver taels to show his military merits!" ”

Li Yuan glanced at the generals around him, and saw that many people had disbelief in their eyes, so he smiled and said: "Erlang don't worry, there are many military merits, and they will be rewarded together after the statistics are completed." ”

Li Yuan made a silent move, pushing Li Shimin's request back, all the generals had a look of disbelief in their eyes, there must be a reason, if he didn't figure out the reason, how could he be hastily rewarded.

Li Shimin heard the shirking in his father's tone, his heart was gloomy, he bowed and retreated.

Li Yuan looked at his son's back, and couldn't help nodding secretly, his son was only sixteen years old, and he could boost morale and lead the army to stand alone, no less than Yang Yuanqing back then, he turned back to the marching Sima warrior and asked in a low voice: "Why are the generals dissatisfied with the heavy rewards for those who win the handsome flag?" ”

The samurai whispered: "The person who grabbed the handsome flag is called Wei Chi Gong, he is the brigade commander under Erlang, the recruitment time is not long, there is no qualifications, and he is a Xianbei person, and the generals have a little prejudice against him, the key is that this person has a fiery personality, and he never lets people in words, so he offends a lot of people, and everyone scolds him behind his back'Xianbei slave, and now he has to reward a thousand taels of silver, and the official is promoted to three levels, so everyone is not convinced." ”

Li Yuan nodded, it turns out that this is the case, this is a bit troublesome, but the promotion and reward cannot be ambiguous, otherwise the reward and punishment are unknown, and the three armies will not serve in the future.

At this time, several messenger cavalry who came from Taiyuan rushed from a distance, and shouted from a distance, "Li Yuanjun! The voice was anxious.

Li Yuan's face sank, and when a few people approached, he asked unhappily, "What happened?" ”

The leading soldier bowed down and said: "Report to the envoy, there is urgent news from Luoyang, Yang Xuangan rebelled again and captured Guanzhong!" ”

Li Yuan: 'Ah! , shouted on the ground, like five thunderbolts, he was stunned.

In the Li Mansion in Taiyuan City, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin walked through a corridor and came to their father's study worriedly, they couldn't remember clearly. This is the first time I have come to find my father, my father came back from Huoyi, and he locked himself in the study, it has been three whole days, he didn't think about tea and dinner, he didn't see anything, and everyone was extremely worried about Li Yuan.

Of course, the two brothers knew why their father was in pain, Chang'an was preemptively occupied by Yang Xuangan, turning his father's plan for many years into a moon in the water, and extreme disappointment hit his father hard, but the two brothers believed that things had not yet reached that bad level.

The two stood outside the study and hesitated, not knowing how to persuade their father, at this time, Liu Wenjing hurried over, he had just returned from the field, and he also knew that Chang'an was captured by Yang Xuangan.

He stepped forward and smiled, "What, your father still can't figure it out?" ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and sighed: "I don't know, there is no news." ”

Liu Wenjing opened her throat and shouted: "Brother Shude, I'm here to give you good news, do you want to listen?" ”

In the middle of the night, Li Yuan's heavy voice came from the room, "Come in!" ”

After a while, Li Yuan said again: "Jiancheng and Shimin come in together!" ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin glanced at each other, or Uncle Liu's uncle, and he moved his father in one sentence. ”

Liu Wenjing smiled mysteriously, "You'll know soon?" ”

The three of them walked into Li Yuan's study, Li Jiancheng and the two brothers were a little stunned, they thought that no one had cleaned up for three days, the study must be dirty and messy, and the father must be depressed and haggard, but the eyes were very different from what they thought, the room was still tidy, but the table was full of maps, although the father looked a little haggard, but he was full of energy and was in very good spirits.

At the same time, the two brothers realized that their father was not locked in the study because of the blow, but actively thinking about countermeasures, and several pieces of paper on the table were full of dense words.

Li Yuan smiled slightly, and said to Liu Wenjing: "First of all, it's not because you have any happy events, but because I've already thought about it, so you don't take credit."

Liu Wenjing smiled and said: "That's the best, if you don't go to the yamen for three days, it is estimated that your government affairs will be piled up." ”

Li Yuan asked Liu Wenjing to sit down, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin didn't dare to sit down, they both stood aside, Li Yuan glanced at them, "You guys also sit down!" ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin had to sit down respectfully on the side, and Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng first, "Is Dou Xin gone?" ”

Dou Xin is the eldest grandson of Dou Wei, and he sent an urgent letter to Li Yuan three days ago, and this letter was placed on the table, Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Back to my father, Dou Xin has not left yet, I am waiting for my father's reply." ”

Li Yuan nodded, and then smiled at Liu Wenjing: "Let's talk about your happy event first!" I'm going to hear it. ”

Liu Wenjing said unhurriedly: "I heard that Yang Xuangan made a surprise attack on Chang'an, so I came to congratulate Ming Gong, Yang Xuangan bulldozed the road to Chang'an for Ming Gong, and Ming Gong will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's eyes lit up at the same time, Liu Wenjing really had a unique vision, others seemed to be a disaster, but he saw it as an opportunity.

Li Yuan squinted his eyes and smiled, he also figured out this question, Liu Wenjing and him coincided.

Liu Wenjing smiled again: "Yang Xuangan occupies Guanzhong, and the arrival of the major families in Guanzhong for Ming Gong must be babies looking forward to their parents, and it is easier and smoother for Ming Gong to seize Guanzhong." ”

"I think the same way, but first wait for Yang Guangzhi's army to fight with Yang Xuangan, and when they are defeated, I will send troops to Guanzhong to clean up the mess."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan's eyes showed a trace of worry, "Actually, what I'm most worried about is Yang Yuanqing, I think that with Yang Xuangan's talent, he can actually attack Guanzhong successfully, it's a bit incredible, there must be Yang Yuanqing's plan behind this, if we attack Guanzhong, will Yang Yuanqing send troops to help Yang Xuangan, or when we defeat Yang Xuangan, he will use the excuse of counterinsurgency to deal with us, will there be such a possibility?" ”

Liu Wenjing pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Yang Wei appeared in Yang Xuangan's team, which confirms Ming Gong's guess, Yang Xuangan raised troops, and there is Yang Yuanqing's shadow behind it, but what is Yang Yuanqing's purpose?" Is it just for Yang Xuan to satisfy the dream of the king of Guanzhong? I don't think so, he wants to seize Guanzhong by himself, I think he has already guessed us, or other Guanlong nobles want to seize Guanzhong, so he first borrowed Yang Xuangan's hand to weaken the Guanlong nobles, causing chaos in Guanzhong, and at the same time Yang Xuangan himself is also a bait, forcing us to start things in advance, once we raise troops to march into Guanzhong, he will definitely use the excuse to send troops to calm the chaos, Ming Gong, I think he is waiting for this moment. ”

At this time, Li Jiancheng cautiously interjected: "Will Yang Yuanqing be so ruthless?" Regardless of whether Yang Xuan is dead or alive, it is his father after all. ”

Li Yuan sneered, "How many years ago the father-son relationship between them was broken, when Yang Xuangan rebelled for the first time, did he think about Yang Yuanqing's life or death?" ”

Li Jiancheng was silent, and then Li Yuan said slowly: "The real enemy we seized Guanzhong is not Yang Xuangan, but Yang Yuanqing, we must suppress Yang Yuanqing before we can send troops to Guanzhong, in fact, Yang Yuanqing is not terrible, his Fengzhou has the biggest hidden danger." ”

Li Yuan's eyes were gloomy and he said: "I have thought about it for three days, and I have decided that we must join the Turks in the north to raise troops!" ”
