Chapter 490: Falling East of the River on a Snowy Night (1)
I don't know where Li Yuan got the gold, silver, treasures and grain, anyway, on December 13, Li Jiancheng personally escorted this batch of goods across the Pujin Bridge to Guanzhong, and Li Xin was also very powerful, personally led Li Jing and others to lead thousands of troops, and sent these indemnities to the state treasury.
"King Tang, I hope that you and I will be reconciled forever and no longer invade each other." Li Jiancheng said solemnly. I don't know if he really does this, or if he is talking about the scene, but looking at his serious appearance, Li Xin still sighed.
"Brother Jiancheng, since it is a competition between two countries, how can there be a reason why there will not be a war, there is only one co-master in the world, how can you want to, my father-in-law is thinking about my Li Xin's head day and night?" Li Xinchang sighed: "If I unify the world, my father-in-law and Jiancheng can live, but if I lose the world, only the courtiers can live, I and my family will be killed, Brother Jiancheng, do you say I should fight for this world?" ”
After Li Jiancheng heard this, he was silent, although Li Xin said it was very cruel, but Li Jiancheng knew that his father was absolutely capable of this kind of thing, and even he heard that Li Yuan was shouting to kill Li Xin in his sleep.
"Let's go back and have a good year!" Li Xin waved his hand and said, "This is a fucked world, what does Brother Jiancheng think?" ”
"yes, that's a fucking world." Li Jiancheng's heart was relieved, with this sentence, he knew that there would be no war at the end of the year in Li Xin, and Li Jiancheng, who had a good upbringing, rarely scolded a swear word. It's just that what he doesn't know is that Li Xin may abide by integrity in small things, but in big things, abiding by integrity is undoubtedly looking for death, and how can the battle in the world be solved by the word integrity?
"Brother Jiancheng, take care all the way." Li Xin thought for a while, and suddenly reminded: "I heard that there is a place called Xuanwu Gate in the Jinyang Palace, and Brother Jiancheng is built. If it is in a crisis, it is appropriate not to go to the Xuanwu Gate. ”
"Why?" Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked curiously.
"Li Shimin, Jishi Anmin? Killing his brother and forcing his father may be able to help the world and the people! Li Xin said disdainfully.
"King Tang, don't say this kind of sowing discord!" Li Jiancheng's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly and said: "King Tang is also a masterpiece of a generation, is it too good to say such things?" ”
After hearing this, Li Xin only smiled slightly, did not speak, but made a gesture of invitation. said: "For Li Zhao, this king didn't take it to heart, but he saw that Brother Jiancheng was a sincere gentleman, so he said this, if Brother Jiancheng didn't believe it, he could naturally leave it behind." ”
"Hmph." Li Jiancheng was extremely annoyed when he heard this, and the little good impression he had for Li Xin just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, and he led 50,000 prisoners to slowly cross the Pujin Bridge.
"Hehe, the prime minister is so bad, he gave eye medicine when he left." Su Dingfang said in a low voice.
"What is eye medicine? Do you think it's nonsense? Li Shimin himself is that kind of person, and as long as he kills Li Jiancheng, he can master Li Zhao and gather the strength of the whole country to fight against me. Tsk, I'm just reminding you in advance, Li Shimin is my great enemy. Li Xin said calmly.
Su Dingfang was stunned when he heard this, and he also knew the information of Jinyiwei. Li Shimin was invincible in Hebei, but the army of 50,000 was growing or attacking like a snowball. or retreat, or encirclement and annihilation have been used, and there is no way to beat Dou Jiande, Li Shimin is really so fierce that he even wants to kill his brother? Su Dingfang was shocked and didn't understand a little.
"This year, I'm afraid you will have a bad time, and when you capture Hedong City, this king will personally celebrate your achievements." Li Xin patted Su Dingfang and the others on the shoulder and said.
"The last general will definitely live up to the expectations of the prime minister." Su Dingfang and the others hurriedly said that the 50,000 people would not leave Hedong in a short time, and they would stay in Hedong for about a month, and after half a month, Su Dingfang's army would attack Hedong and completely capture Hedong.
Time flies quickly, there are a lot of business trips on the Pujin Bridge, Li Zhao also according to the agreement, no longer ban business travel activities, the two sides still have some defense, but most of them are on the inventory of business travel, the wartime atmosphere on both sides of the Yellow River has faded a lot, and both sides do not seem to start a war before the year. This made the people of Hedong and Guanzhong feel much more at ease, and even many relatives on both sides of the Yellow River were able to walk around each other, adding a lot of atmosphere to the New Year.
"Father, tomorrow is the New Year, and I finally survived this year." Qu Tushou was wearing a brocade robe, and said with a hint of joy on his face.
"Yes! Finally survived, or the prince Rende, there is such a peaceful year, but next year I am afraid that there will be a big war between the two sides, you and my father and son will also be involved, I don't know if we can see the next Chinese New Year's Eve. Qu Tutong also sighed, as if he thought of something, and said, "Have those soldiers settled down?" It was not their fault that they were captured, it was the enemy who was too cunning. I heard that they are still building roads in Guanzhong, and I am afraid that my body and bones will not work, and I can't treat them badly. ”
"Father rest assured, they are all on the school grounds, and some of the families in Hedong have already gone home. The child has ordered someone to prepare wine for them, and they can have a peaceful year. Qu Tushou said: "It's a pity that the military camps outside the city have been burned by Duan Decao, otherwise you can also go to the military camps outside the city." Now I can only deal with it on the school field. ”
"In the midst of troubled times, it's good to have a place to settle down, where else can you think about?" Qu Tutong sighed slightly, he thought about it, and said: "Let's go, let's go to the city wall for a walk, this day always makes people feel uncomfortable." ”
Qu Tushou frowned when he heard this, he looked at the sky outside, it was already snow-white, even at night, he could see a snow-white in the distance, it was a cold day, he really didn't want to go out with his father, but in the end he still put on a big coat for Qu Tutong and walked out, the two rode on war horses, stepped on thick snow, and walked slowly, and when they arrived at the edge of the school, they heard a roar.
"Do you say you have no clothes? With the son, Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear"
This is the Qin Feng in the Book of Poetry, spread in the land of Guanzhong, in ancient times, countless soldiers just listened to this song and charged, in all directions, now it appears here, the singing voice, so that Qu Tutong felt a burst of frustration, when he just joined the army, it was the same way, loyal to the monarch to serve the country, but now! betrayed Da Sui and took refuge in Da Zhao, and I don't know how he will be described in the history books in the future.
"Father, they're singing. Do you want to send someone to stop them? Qu Tushou's face wrinkled, the voices of these people were noisy all around, especially when Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, such a song came out, faintly making people feel uncomfortable.
"This is the voice of the soldiers, we can't care about it, and we don't care about it." Qu Tutong shook his head and said: "The generals can fight, but he needs to win the battle, that is, we are incompetent and cannot win the battle, so they are captured by the enemy." Let's go! Let's go back! Qu Tutong shook his head with some sighs, and pulled his son to prepare to go back to the mansion.
Encountering this kind of thing, Qu Tutong was not in the mood to continue to inspect, a team of personal soldiers followed behind Qu Tutong, their faces were full of joy, in the troubled times, being able to live one day is a day, and one year is a year.
Qu Tutong was riding on the horse, but he was full of thoughts, thinking about the unique Qin dialect in his mind, how could he say that no clothes might be able to express the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies. If it is the King of Qin, no, Qu Tutong thought of something, the tiger-eyed boss said to Qu Tushou on the side: "Shou'er, what did you just hear?" ”
"Qin Feng!" Qu Tushou said indifferently: "Tens of thousands of people chanting together are really magnificent, which makes people feel surging, and they can't wait to lead the army to fight immediately." ”
"It's not good, Shou'er, go and let Liu Wenjing and Sang Xianhe lead the army to the school field and prepare to kill the bandits." Qu Tutong finally felt that something was wrong, Qin dialect, that Qin Feng contained a Guanzhong accent, and it was a large number of Guanzhong accents, you must know that these returned captives are all from Hedong, or from Bingzhou, how could they have a Guanzhong accent? Qu Tutong's eyes widened, he was completely shocked, these 50,000 people were not defeated prisoners at all, but Li Xin's internal response, he felt that his head instantly became bigger, and he didn't know what to do.
How many people are there, 50,000, or a little less, but no matter how many, there must be tens of thousands of troops, Li Xin really made a big deal, tens of thousands of troops were sent into Hedong City like this, and he was not afraid of being discovered, were the clerks who registered these soldiers all fools? Even their accents were not clear.
No, Qu Tutong suddenly thought of something, and said to Qu Tushou: "Don't go, quickly take your mother and your family, and lead Liu Wenjing and them to leave Hedong, if you don't leave, it's too late, Li Xin's army is about to be killed." ”
"How is it possible, didn't an agreement just come down not long ago?" Qu Tushou said with some skepticism, he didn't think there was anything wrong with those voices.
"Kill! Capture Qu Tutong alive. Qu Tutong was about to say what time to do, when a roar suddenly came from the school ground, followed by tens of thousands of people cheering loudly.
"Sure enough, Shou'er, you go first, the old man leads the army to quell the rebellion, haha, treacherous as Li Xin really said is not wrong at all." Qu Tu informed that the loss of Hedong tonight was certain, and even Li Xin's army had already arrived outside Hedong City. Heavy snow, inconvenient transportation, and rumors outside that Li Xin had reached an agreement with Li Jiancheng, and there would be no war before the year, so they all relaxed their vigilance, and the counties of the words didn't even have a chance to resist, so they were easily captured.
