"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qi!"

Li Shentong turned over the saddle and dismounted, and stepped forward to meet him from afar. This ceremony is still fully done, and seeing this scene made Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji's face was slightly better.

Li Jiancheng did not support the big one, and dismounted with Li Yuanji, and more than ten managers of the Tang Army behind him also dismounted.

There was a series of generals standing behind him, and Li Jiancheng said with a smile: "King Huai'an is exempt." After speaking, he personally helped Li Shentong up, and then patted Li Shentong on the shoulder and smiled at the generals behind him: "King Huai'an is fat!" ”

After speaking, the generals laughed together.

Li Shentong said with a smile: "His Royal Highness Prince Lao is worried, as soon as His Royal Highness's army comes out, the world is already shaken, and the Zhao army will inevitably be frightened." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled faintly, arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an in the west, and said, "This still depends on my father's strategy." What is the movement of the Zhao army in Huai'an, Wang Heyang, and Liyang? ”

Li Shendao: "There is not the slightest change, obviously I don't know anything about His Royal Highness the Prince's departure from the west." ”

General Li Shenfu stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Liyang City is the granary of the Zhao army in Hebei, if you can attack this city, you will definitely be able to solve the matter of the supply of grain and grass for the army." The minister invited all the men and horses to march east to attack Liyang City,"

Li Jiancheng was moved when he heard this, but he couldn't make up his mind and asked, "What does General Qu think?" ”

The last time the battle of Wang Shichong was broken, the generals of the Tang Army talked about their merits, Qu Tutong ranked first, and the official worshiped the right servant of Daxingtai in eastern Shaanxi. Li Yuan is very important to this veteran, this time Li Jiancheng went on the expedition, Li Yuan knew that this son was not proficient in military affairs, so he repeatedly told Li Jiancheng that Li Yuanji asked Qu Tutong more about everything.

So Li Jiancheng remembered it very well, and he asked Qu Tutong whenever he made a difficulty, what could he do?

The general Qu Tutong pinched his beard and thought about it: "A sneak attack on Liyang is indeed a good strategy, but from Hanoi to Liyang, there are still hundreds of miles, and it is difficult to keep it secret during the period, and it is easy for Zhao Jun to appear." Once we can't capture it in a few days, Liyang is on the edge of the Yongji Canal, the transportation is convenient, once we can't fight, the Zhao army will inevitably reinforce along the canal, so the general thinks that the chance of success is not great. ”

Li Yuanji also said: "Yes, Li Chongjiu is cautious by nature. How can he give us an opportunity, he will definitely lay down a heavy army in Liyang City. Our army will join the division, it is precisely to capture Heyang in one go, why bother to advance eastward to divide the situation, this is an unwise move. ”

When Li Yuanji said this, he was obviously sarcastic, and Li Shenfu's opinion was very unwise. Let Li Shenfu not be able to get down the steps for a while. Li Shentong said: "What His Royal Highness King Qi said is very true, but it is a lack of consideration by his younger brother. ”

Li Jiancheng saw that the discussion had reached a result, and he didn't want Li Yuanji and Li Shenfu to quarrel before the war, so he said: "King Gong's opinion of Xiangyi Gong is also very insightful, and Gu also thinks it is feasible, but at present, he still captures Heyang with lightning speed, and after breaking Heyang." It is not too late to consider sending troops to Liyang. This is the time when the father and the emperor personally taught the machine to be lonely, so don't change it. ”

Seeing Li Jiancheng say this, Li Yuanji, Li Shentong, Li Shenfu, and Qu Tutong all said yes and expressed obedience.

At that moment, Li Jiancheng led the army to continue to move forward. Li Shentong and Li Shenfu stayed in private. Li Shenfu was annoyed by Li Yuanji's refutation of himself just now and said to Li Shendao: "Brother, how can we say that we are also the uncle of King Qi, he didn't even call us uncle when he saw us, and he relied on his identity to act as a blessing, I can't swallow this breath." ”

Li Shentong soothed: "Everything is like this, you are the king of the county." He is the king, in terms of dignity, of course, he is respected, and you are humbled. Why can't you stand this anger? has always relied on his identity as an uncle, but it is you who suffers. ”

Li Shenfu listened and said hurriedly: "Brother, but when King Qin led the army, how could he be so rude, and you see that this prince has no opinions, and he actually listens to King Qi and Qu Tutong in everything, how can such a person be the commander-in-chief, how can he win the battle." ”

"That's better than not knowing anything yourself, it's better to command blindly, and the prince can be regarded as self-aware," Li Shentong said lightly, "Now that the King of Qin is out of power, Princess Pingyang is dead, and among the sons of His Majesty, the only ones who can lead troops are the prince and the king of Qi, so you can bear with it." ”

After the Tang army joined forces with Li Shentong in Hanoi, the strength of the army reached 120,000 and arrived at Ha Duong City in a long time.

The water of the Yellow River is surging, rushing endlessly, the gongs and drums outside the city of Heyang are noisy, the banners of soldiers and horses are countless, and the army covers the sky and the earth.

Li Jiancheng looked at this army, and very much appreciated the scenery of the handsome, he whispered to Li Yuanji on the side: "Lone finally knows why so many people want to be emperors, you look at this call, what a scenery, as long as you taste this taste, you will not let go, the so-called husband can't be without power for a day." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said yes." Li Yuanji listened with a look of envy. At this time, Li Jiancheng asked Li Hongji, the general on the side, "What kind of ferry is in front of Heyang City?" ”

Liu Hongji said without thinking: "Returning to His Majesty is Meng Jindu!" ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up when he heard this; "It turned out to be the land of the eight hundred princes of King Wu of Zhou."

Hearing Li Jiancheng say this, Liu Hongji also said very interestingly: "Back then, King Wu Xie attacked the Great Shang, sent troops from Guanzhong to the 800 princes of the Mengjin Alliance, crossed the Yellow River north and broke the king in Muye on the outskirts of Shang, and laid the foundation of Zhou Tianzi for 800 years in one fell swoop. Now the prince is ordering troops here, which is to reproduce the scene of the discussion of the king of martial arts! ”

Hearing Liu Hongji say this, Li Jiancheng laughed, obviously very happy. King Wu's war against merchants was a famous dispute between the East and the West in the history of the Central Plains. The Zhou royal family, which rose from Guanzhong, defeated the Shang Dynasty forces in Hebei, and after the Shang dynasty was destroyed from the Zhou royal family, the center of gravity of the world has not changed in Guanzhong.

Now that Li Tang has come from Guanzhong again to pacify the forces in Hebei, it seems that he is also reproducing this scene of destiny.

When Li Jiancheng heard Liu Hongji say this, he felt full of confidence at the moment, and felt that he was also like King Wu of Zhou inherited the mandate of his father, King Wen of Zhou.

Li Jiancheng raised his horsewhip and said to Heyang: "Heyang City is small and outnumbered, and it can resist our army for a few days, but I think that God has the virtue of a good life, so let the messenger persuade the city general to surrender first." ”

At that moment, Li Jiancheng chose a bold messenger to enter the city and say surrender.

Soon the envoy returned from the city and said to Li Jiancheng: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the defenders in the city have answered. ”

Li Jiancheng asked in a loud voice, "What does the enemy general say?" ”

The messenger said: "The commander of the enemy army is a fearful man and has no opinions, but his lieutenant and the overseer have different opinions, one says that he is willing to surrender, and the other says that he is unwilling to surrender, so let me come to His Highness and ask for a day to discuss, and then reply tomorrow." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "This is also a reasonable request, just agree to him." ”

"Your Highness, no."

Li Jiancheng turned his head and looked, it turned out to be Chai Shao, the general of the Right Xiaowei.

Li Jiancheng asked, "Why does General Chai think it can't?" ”

Chai Shao said: "Your Highness, this is obviously General Zhao's plan to delay the army, where is it so difficult to surrender, if they have any objections, they can capture Heyang City first." ”

Li Jiancheng listened to Chai Shao's words and was puzzled: "This." He had just expressed his stance and asked him to immediately retract his fate, but it was difficult for him to step down.

Qu Tu channel: "Our army came from afar, the boat and car are tired, and it may not be the best to attack the city in a hurry, even if the city says to think about it for a day, we might as well rest for a day to relieve fatigue, if they don't agree tomorrow, it is not too late to attack the city again." ”

Qu Tutong's words came to Li Jiancheng's bottom of his heart and said: "This is Lao Cheng's serious words, so let's do it." ”

At present, 120,000 Tang troops were stationed under the city of Heyang for one night.

The next day, Li Jiancheng sent envoys into the city to persuade him to surrender.

Soon the envoy returned, and also brought the envoy of Zhao Jun.

As soon as the envoy of the Zhao army saw Li Jiancheng, he prostrated in the ground and said: "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Seeing that the envoy was so respectful to him, Li Jiancheng was very happy and asked, "How about you thinking about it all night?" ”

The envoy of Zhao buried his head and said: "Our generals discussed all night last night, and when it was dawn, the generals thought that the Tang army was too powerful to be countered by manpower, so they decided to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and the whole city was subdued. Just ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for us to agree to one condition? ”

"Surrender and surrender, what nonsense? Believe it or not, Lao Tzu is on fire, and now he will enter the city. Huang Junhan, the general of the Tang Army, shouted angrily on the side.

The envoy of Zhao Jun was very frightened when he heard this, and he trembled on the ground, and Li Jiancheng said: "You have also seen that Lone's temper is not too good, but let's talk about the conditions first." ”

The envoy kowtowed again and again: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the city lord has the heart to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but the family is in Luoyang, if it is suddenly subdued, I am afraid that the life of the family will not be guaranteed." Therefore, I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give him a two-day grace to let the city lord fulfill his courtier's festival and protect his family. ”

Hearing this, Qu Tutong sneered and pressed his sword and got up and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is no need to say any more, drag this person out and behead him!" ”

When the messenger heard this, he raised his head and shouted, "Your Highness, what I said is true, if you don't believe me, you can peel open my heart and see if it is sincere." We don't want two days, just one day, and when the sun rises tomorrow, Heyang City will surrender. ”

"What is the belief of empty words?"

"This is the seal of the city general, which can be used as a guarantee, and I ask His Highness to take a look."

Listening to this person's words, Li Jiancheng's subordinates took the seal letter tiger talisman, and nodded after verifying it, obviously it was indeed genuine.

Li Yuanji frowned and said, "Even if I waited for one day, I don't care about waiting for one more day." ”

Li Jiancheng listened and said, "Okay, I'll believe you again." ”

On the third day, under Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's anticipation, the gate of Heyang City was still closed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, shoot a letter from the city!"

When Li Jiancheng heard this, he opened the letter and saw that it was written: "In the past, Chen Qingzhi used 7,000 white robes to Beizhonglang City, and he relied on Er Zhurong's 300,000 troops. ”

After seeing the letter, looking up at the dense archers on Heyang City, Li Jiancheng knew that he had been deceived and threw the letter to the ground and said angrily: "Siege!" Lone wants to peel this Su Dingfang! ”
