"General, it's late at night, why don't you sleep at this time?" You Junda was in the courtyard of Taiyuan, and the concubine put a long robe on him, and couldn't help but ask softly.

"The world is difficult, where can I sleep." You Junda shook his head and said.

Although the families of the soldiers defending the city of Jinyang have been brought to Taiyuan, and the reputation is to protect the families of these soldiers, but You Junda himself knows that it is just to stabilize the hearts of the Jinyang defenders, or they both know that these family members are hostages, You Junda knows that Li Ji has no way to do this, and Da Zhao can only pin his hopes on the Goguryeo people this time, which is simply a big joke. But it had to be.

"General, isn't there a great general Li Ji in front of you? If he surrenders, then surrenders, if he retreats, then retreats, if he dies, you? The concubine's face changed, and she quickly lowered her head.

"Dead in battle? Why do you say we will fail? After You Junda listened, his face moved, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know how many years had been turned in his mind, if he had a choice, he would definitely choose Li Xin, but it was too late. No one would have thought that it would be so difficult for Li Shimin to ascend to the throne, and the speed of failure would be so fast.

"General, what you do is unjust, and you have a lot of help. Li Xin loves the people like a son, and the soldiers around him are willing to die for him, but I, Da Zhao, need the general to take care of the soldiers' families, even if those soldiers are obedient on the surface, how can they really work for Da Zhao? Don't you say that those generals, even the captains, aren't they the same? The concubine said in a low voice.

"They can come down, but I can't." You Junda smiled bitterly.

He is also a general, his family members are all in Xindu, and he is also a hostage, and the concubines around him are also in Taiyuan. This is the practice of officialdom, and You Junda has no way. He is different from Xu Shiji in this regard, Xu Shiji's woman was married in Jinyang.

"The concubine heard that the Tang Emperor's Jinyi Guard is very powerful, if the general really wants to be obedient, why not let him send the general's family here?" The concubine lowered her head and said.

You Junda's eyes lit up, and he quickly shook his head and said, "Don't think about this matter for the time being." Drag on for a day, just wait and see! You Junda hasn't made a decision yet, but he knows that this day will come soon, and Li Xin, who has lost the threat of the people, is afraid that he will soon attack Jinyang.

Sure enough, on the third day, he heard a loud bang from the direction of Jinyang in Taiyuan, which shook the four fields, like thunder descending from the sky. He woke up suddenly, and hurriedly rushed out, through Taiyuan, and came to Jinyang. When they arrived in Jinyang, they found that these soldiers had a look of panic on their faces, even Li Ji also had a gloomy face, and there was a trace of panic in the depths of his eyes.

You Junda first understood, and only found out when he went up the city wall. I don't know that within a radius of more than ten steps around the enemy building, there is a mess. Not to mention the severed limbs, the entire enemy tower was almost destroyed.

"What is this? Is it the thunder that Li Xin recruited? You Junda looked at the opposite side of the city wall, and saw that more than a hundred steps away, there were ten mounds of earth that were constantly rising, one of which was already higher than the city wall, and a black monster was placed on it. The dark entrance of the cave was aimed at the city tower, and he immediately knew that it was the culprit who caused the current situation.

"One shot came, and within a dozen steps, people and animals died." Li Ji sighed deeply. said: "Maybe he can't destroy the city wall, but the soldiers on the city wall can be easily killed, and it is said that Li Xin likes things with strange and obscene skills. No wonder the Turks were not Li Xin's opponents at the beginning, and they fled in embarrassment after being killed by Li Xin. If there is no news from Shandong, Jinyang may be difficult to defend. ”

"I believe that Shandong has already succeeded." You Junda thought for a while and said: "Li Xin hasn't made a move on Taiyuan yet, I will first transfer 10,000 soldiers and horses from Taiyuan, if it is not good, let the Turks take action, even if it costs a lot, as long as Jinyang can be saved." ”

"He's intimidating us, see? When the ten peaks become as high as the city wall, or even higher than the city wall, they will start attacking in a big way, and it should not be a few days. Li Ji sighed.

"The last general will transfer the soldiers and horses tomorrow, which can also boost the morale of the army." You Junda saw that there was still a look of panic on the soldier's face, and he was even more worried in his heart.

"Li Xin is destroying our morale, with sinister intentions!" Li Ji was very happy in his heart, and there was a trace of guilt, because in his opinion, You Junda probably already had the intention of surrendering at this time, but he didn't expect the other party to be so loyal.

Is You Junda really loyal? Obviously not, the words of the concubine that night sounded in his ears again, and after returning to Taiyuan, he summoned his lieutenants and said it again about the rescue of Jinyang, but what he didn't expect was that there was silence in the hall.

"General, do you think Taiyuan can really be defended?" Finally, one of the lieutenants, Chen Rui, stood up and said, "The brothers trust us, put their lives in our hands, and hope that we can lead them to victory, let them make meritorious achievements, and make their wives and sons, but not let us go to death." Today's situation, the general also knows, the thunder has passed, and people and animals within a radius of more than ten steps have died, and our brothers are not preparing to delay time with their lives? ”

"Chen Rui, who is actually Da Zhao's courtier, must be ready to dedicate himself to Da Zhao." You Junda's face was gloomy, and he said coldly.

"General, the last general thinks that what General Chen said is very true, who doesn't know, the Tang Emperor is the true son of heaven, compared with my Da Zhao, it is a mantis arm as a car, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in the right position, killing his brother and forcing his father, people and gods are angry, if such a person really unifies the world, who knows what will happen? If you can't even get Yang Guang, you can't even collude with the Turks and Goguryeo people to deal with us Han people, and everyone in the world will spurn it. For such a person, I Luo Liang is unwilling, if the general kills me, I have nothing to say. A rough man stood up and said loudly.

"Yes, yes. What General Chen and General Luo said is very true, this is an errand that is clearly sent to death, who wants to go! General, you have to think about our brothers, too! Another lieutenant shouted, and there was an instant commotion in the hall, and today's loud noise had completely shaken their confidence.

"Presumptuous!" You Junda slapped the table violently, his tiger eyes widened, glanced at everyone, and snorted coldly: "What? Do you want to rebel? I really think that General Ben can't kill you. ”

"Hehe, the general can kill these dozen people, but he can't kill the 10,000 brothers defending the city." There was a burst of laughter, but I saw a middle-aged man with a smile on his face walking in.

"Who are you? How did you get in? You Junda suddenly felt a little wrong, pointed at the other party and asked, but with his right hand, he took the sword on one side in his hand.

"The commander of Jinyiwei sent Shen Qianqiu to see the general, the general is strong and loyal, but under the general are the people of Taiyuan, the general is planned for his reputation, have you ever thought about the people in the city? How innocent are the people in the city, do they have to bury Li Ji with him? The soldiers in the city are so loyal and brave, these soldiers should have fought on the battlefield, resisted foreign enemies, and served the country, but now because of Li Ji's selfishness, he ended up dead, after this battle, I don't know, how many families have lost their husbands and sons, and I don't know how many families will be destroyed in the war, I have heard the general's benevolence and righteousness for a long time, so His Majesty ordered the last general to come forward and say, please see the general in the face of tens of thousands of people and more than 10,000 brothers in Taiyuan City, and submit to my Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty will definitely be rewarded. Shen Qianqiu arched his hand and said.

"General, Li Zhao has obviously sunset, the general is a world-famous general, how can he be buried for the pseudo-Zhao, the Tang Emperor is thirsty for talent, he is the true son of heaven, the general is in the prime of life, why worry about not having the opportunity to make contributions?" Chen Rui stepped forward and persuaded him.

"This?" You Junda glanced around, only to see that the surrounding soldiers were carefully peeping outside, but there were more than a dozen captains around him, once the fight started, I am afraid that these people have not been killed, and they will die in the hands of these people.

"My general's wife and children are still in Xindu, I don't know if Jinyiwei can take them out?" At this time, a woman came out from behind, it was You Junda's concubine, she looked at Shen Qianqiu and asked.

"As long as the general has a handwritten letter, it will naturally do." Shen Qianqiu was overjoyed and said without thinking about it.

"General, come down! You are still our general, leading us to the battlefield, why do you have to work for Li Ji, a villain? Luo Liang said loudly: "Li Shimin is disloyal, unkind, unrighteous and unfilial, does the general still have to work hard for such a person?" Look at the soldiers outside, they are also raised by their parents, can it be that the general just looks at the brothers outside like ants, pushed up to death by people one by one? ”

"Hey! You guys won. You Junda sighed deeply, threw the sword in his hand aside, and sighed: "It's not that I, You Junda, am greedy for life and afraid of death, but for the sake of the face of the people and soldiers in the city, I will return to the Tang Dynasty." ”

"Haha! Your Majesty would have been even happier if he knew that the general was so benevolent. Shen Qianqiu laughed after hearing this, pointed to Jinyang City in the distance and said: "That is, Li Ji, who does not know the mandate of heaven, vainly tries to resist the heavenly soldiers, and has involved tens of thousands of soldiers, which is really hateful." ”

"General, since we have surrendered, why don't we offer Jinyang again." Chen Rui suddenly said loudly: "Today I can pretend to change the defense, if I catch Li Ji, this is a great achievement!" ”

After hearing this, the generals' eyes lit up, offering Taiyuan City is a credit, if you can capture Li Ji and dedicate Jinyang to Li Xin, then the credit will be great. Even You Junda also had a hint of intention. (To be continued.) )
