The sound of scuffles and fights all over the mountains. (Baidu search dukankan.update is the fastest and most stable, read and see the novel network)

Under the narrow pass, the Turks poured in like a tide, and the Xicheng Pass was crumbling, and the battle was fierce.

Suddenly, a loud voice sounded in the air: There are people who have killed Li Shimin with their own hands, and they have rewarded thousands of cattle and sheep. Suddenly, the momentum of the Turkic army soared, and gradually killed the defenders on the Xicheng Pass and retreated, and Li Shimin's army surrounded the center. The Sui army was trapped and in a desperate situation.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in the Zuotun Guard camp outside Taiyuan City, Li Shimin, who was awakened from his dream, sat up from the darkness, gasped for breath, and gradually calmed down. He stepped out of the tent and looked up at the stars. Chai Shao came over from behind, why did the general get up so early.

Li Shimin rubbed the broken arm of his left shoulder with his right hand, and turned his head to look at Chai Shao, "What about you, you haven't slept all night?" ”

Chai Shao also rubbed his somewhat sour neck and chuckled a few times, "The army is busy with affairs, and if you don't sort it out in time, there will be trouble." ”

Looking sideways at Chai Shao, when he was in Luoyang, he had been instructed by his father to make friends with his eldest brother and his third brother Yuanji and other brothers from his family to make friends and recruit talents. Chai Shao met at that time, and at first he and Chai Shao only became friends when they met, but after such a long time of life and death, he understood that he and Chai Shao were no longer just that ordinary relationship.

There are many times, Li Shimin even thought that maybe entrusting the third sister to him is the most reassuring. Chai Shao is always so elegant, so elegant, but he is always so reassuring when he does things. And along the way, they have been born and died several times, and this kind of feeling, this kind of mutual trust has long been replaced by ordinary people. sighed secretly in his heart, but it was a pity that the third sister was a little stupid now, and his father ostensibly married the third sister to Yang Hui, the king of Liao, as a concubine, but in fact, he knew his father's plans. The father plans to support King Yan to ascend the throne and become emperor, and the third sister will also marry the fourteen-year-old King Yan as the queen. Although he knew about it, he never objected to it.

"What you said we were trying to do, can it succeed this time?"

"It should be, it's already so close." Chai Shao looked at the starry sky, but he also understood that since ancient times, people have planned things, and success has been in the sky. No amount of planning can guarantee complete success. But things have come to this point, what other way do they have?

Li Shimin smiled bitterly, "Why do I always have nightmares about losing battles? ”

Chai Shao also chuckled twice, "Did you get up because you had a nightmare?" ”

Li Shimin nodded.

"Probably because the last defeat at the Xicheng Pass left too much impression on you." When he said this, Chai Shao couldn't help but look at Li Shimin, the empty left sleeve, and the hideous scar on his face under the moonlight, also made Chai Shao unbearable to witness. used to be so handsome, cheerful and confident, but now he has become such a hideous person.

He had heard that Li Shimin had been angry and punished the maids several times because of the scars on his face. And as Li Shimin's right-hand man, he has long felt a lot of changes in Li Shimin. He is no longer as cheerful as before, and he talks to him like a spring breeze. He was much more silent, and his iron face was much more ruthless.

Li Shimin looked at the sky with some pain, "If you do a thousand things right, others may not remember you, but if you do one wrong, you will become someone else's handle." I think I entered the broken military camp at the age of fifteen and followed Chen Pojun across Liaodong. Everyone thinks that I am just a name in Liaodong, but in fact, I did not participate in the fierce wars in Liaodong? Countless bloody storms, born and died, I was lucky not to die. Later, when we returned to the Central Plains, we trained the Xuanjia Army in a short period of time, and we fought hard to fight the Turkic wolf but were undefeated. The Battle of Shenwu City, the Battle of Xichengguan, and the Battle of Yanmen, which battle didn't cost me my life. It's just ridiculous, everyone only sees that I, Li Shimin, are now disfigured with a broken arm, but they can't see the danger of the big battles. ”

"General, you don't have to worry about this. The responsibility for the defeat at Xichengguan does not lie with you. Those who only saw the defeat of General Xicheng were just envious and jealous that the general was so young, but he was already ranked as the prince of the country, as one of the twelve generals. Although I have not been with the general for a long time, I have also seen with my own eyes the subtlety of the general's training methods, the strategizing when planning strategies, the courage of the soldiers in the big war, and the calmness and calmness when commanding. I think that although the world praises Chen Po's military soldiers as gods, the general is not inferior to him, and sooner or later, the general will shut up all the slanderers today. ”…,

Li Shimin was silent, "But why is it that since I was in charge of the army, although I have been able to win every battle, I have always won miserably in the end?" In the battle of Shenwu City, although we won the battle, we could lose more than half of ourselves, and although I had the best strategy to slow down the Turkic troops at the Xicheng Pass, in the end, I still let Chen Pojun's people break, and I also ended up with a broken arm and disfigured. When Yanmen besieged the city, I proposed to go out of the city and take the initiative to attack the Turkic camp, but I fell into the trap of the Turks, and even the West Gate was once taken away by the Turks, and Queen Xiao and the crown prince were taken away for this, and countless soldiers and people were killed and injured, isn't it my responsibility? ”

"But Your Majesty did not blame you for this in the slightest. Because Your Majesty also understands that it is not your fault, and it will not be better than you to change someone. ”

"It's because I feel like I can't get over it."

"You've won countless battles, just one or two defeats, what's the point? Who in the world can never miss? ”

Li Shimin, "If you miss once, you will lose the lives of countless soldiers." There is another sentence that he didn't say in his heart, so Chen Pojun has never missed, and he has never been defeated.

"Since it is a war, casualties are inevitable. It is a lucky thing to be a subordinate of a general. The general treats his subordinates like brothers, where else can such a thing be encountered? ”

After dawn, in the Tang Guogong Mansion in Taiyuan City, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng, father and son, sat opposite each other, and they were silent. Li Yuan frowned. Li Jiancheng stared at the ground, his eyes full of worry.

Li Shimin walked quickly into his father's study and bowed.

Li Shimin saw that the eldest brother was also there, and said a little strangely, "Why is the eldest brother here?" Jinyang Palace...... there"

The father and son have been planning for a long time recently, whether they succeed or fail, as the only force of the Li family in Jinyang Palace, the five thousand Xiaoguo army commanded by the eldest brother Li Jiancheng is very important. The incident is getting closer and closer, and the eldest brother is not in the palace to step up his control of his subordinates, how can he return to the house.

When Li Shimin saw Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's expressions, he couldn't realize anything for a while, and he was puzzled.

Li Jiancheng said softly, "I just received the news that Empress Xiao and the crown prince have appeared. ”

Li Shimin was taken aback, "How is it possible?" Empress Xiao and the crown prince were arrested in the grassland, and now it has been several months, how many people have gone out, but they have not found the slightest clue, why did they suddenly appear again? Where did this news come from? Could it be fake? ”

Li Yuan knelt on the cushion, his whole person was a little gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed endless worries.

"It's Chen Pojun."

"Chen Pojun?"

With a long sigh, Li Yuan said slowly, "That's right, Chen Pojun bypassed Linyu Pass before, raided the empty military capital pass from the grassland, and swung his troops into Hebei from there. And quickly sent troops south to seize the Taihang Mountain Hebei Sishan, blocking the passage between Hebei and Hedong, Hebei news to send to Hedong, can only detour from Hebei to Henan, and then to the northeast of Hedong to Taiyuan, so it takes a lot of time to send the news. So for a long time recently, we haven't gotten news from Hebei. ”

Li Shimin's face had changed several times, Chen Pojun broke through the imperial blockade and entered Hebei, of course he understood what it meant. Restraining the panic in his heart, he sorted out his thoughts and hurriedly asked, "Chen Pojun has entered Hebei, why is it related to the matter of the queen and the crown prince?" ”

"Alas, more than ten days before the news of Chen Pojun's invasion of Hebei, officials from Hebei sent messengers to Hedong to present it to His Majesty. However, those letters were all put away by the King of Liao and kept secret, and we have not known until now. Until today, Hebei sent someone to send an urgent report of the military situation, and Jiancheng and the captain who came with the messenger were still acquainted, and they talked with him in the palace for a while, but they heard a shocking news. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded, his face sinking like water, "The captain told me that Chen Pojun has taken the six counties of Hebei in a row, and has captured Linyu Pass, and forced the landing of 220,000 Hebei troops. Li Jing, the general of the right guard, was killed in battle, and Xue Shixiong, the general of the left guard, Luo Yi, Xue Dingguo and others surrendered to Zichen Pojun one after another. ”

After the forced landing of the Hebei army, Hebei suddenly spread that Chen Pojun sent people to the grassland to find the queen and the prince and found them. On the first day of August, Chen Pojun had already changed Jicheng in Zhuojun County to Beijing, and honored the crown prince Yang Gao as the emperor, His Majesty as the emperor, and Empress Xiao as the queen mother. And set up Chen Pojun as the prime minister, the general leader of all political affairs, add nine tin, fake Huang Yue, and crown the king of Chen. ”

Li Shimin almost spurted a mouthful of blood in his heart, he never thought that he was cautious and struggling in Hedong, and he had been plotting with his father for so long, but he had not succeeded. But Chen Pojun's army was smooth sailing, and now he has not only invaded Hebei, but also preemptively established the crown prince as the son of heaven. For a moment, my heart was filled with indignation.

Later, the eldest brother Jiancheng was still telling the news of Hebei that he heard from the school captain, what father was crowned as the king of Tang, Jiangdu stayed behind, what was this king, and that was named the prince of the country, he only felt in a trance, and his heart was boiling.

"Father, we can't wait any longer, we have to act in advance!" Li Shimin shook his dizzy head, his eyes were red, his eyes were like fire, and he gritted his teeth and said loudly.
