Chapter 556: Li Shimin soldiers
"The criminal minister Xiao Mo offended Tianwei, and the crime deserved death."
Outside the camp, Xiao Yu rode a war horse, and on the other side, Xiao Mo knelt on the ground, and behind him, there were several chamberlains and generals kneeling on the ground, Li Xin looked over, indescribable Xiao Se.
"Since you have come to surrender, then get up!" Li Xin's eyes fell on Xiao Yu, nodded, and did not continue, but stepped forward to help Xiao Mi up, and naturally a soldier took the jade seal in Xiao Miao's hand. Li Xin pulled Xiao Mo and said: "The general is in Jiangnan, and this king has also heard of the general's reputation. ”
"The guilty minister does not dare to praise the prime minister." Xiao Miao's face moved, and there was a trace of embarrassment in the depths of his eyes, in the end, he was the general of the defeated army, and now he was defeated by Li Xin, although he was now courteous to Li Xin, but he knew the warmth and coldness in it.
"The lone king has played the son of heaven, crowned the general as the prince of Jiangling County, and the king of Chang'an has also ordered someone to prepare the mansion, and the general's family will soon return to the dynasty with the king's class." Li Xin nodded, this Xiao Miao's attitude is very good.
"Xie Cheng cares." Xiao Mo sighed, and his nervous mood suddenly fell to the ground, he was afraid that Li Xin would drag himself out and behead him without asking about thirty-seven twenty-one, but Li Xin was not as vicious as the legend, Li Xin was very lenient with himself. Maybe there is a little role in this.
"Concubine Xiao is in the back camp, and the county prince of Jiangling can go to the back camp to meet Concubine Xiao later." Li Xin Xin looked a little relieved, and said: "From now on, you and I are a family, and the county prince can live in Chang'an with peace of mind." Just treat Chang'an as your home. ”
"I understand." Xiao Miao's heart was bitter, Li Xin was really a demon in the color, and his daughter still hadn't escaped his clutches, but now that he thought about it, there was no way, Li Xin looked at the world. In the future, he is most likely to become the lord of the world, and it may not be a bad thing for his daughter to follow him. can only hope that Li Xin can look at Xiao Yuexian's face and treat the Xiao family well.
"The general has returned to the court, just waiting for us to return to the court." Li Xin glanced at everyone, and finally landed on Ma Zhou. said: "Ma Zhou, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you this time, you will stay in Xiangyang for the time being, deal with the affairs of Jingzhou, and add you as the envoy of Jingzhou." ”
"Subordinates obey." Ma Zhou hurriedly responded, Li Xin wanted a class teacher, but there were still many things to be solved in Jingzhou, and Ma Zhou had to stay.
"Liang Shuo, you have to stay too. Stationed in Changsha, he was the envoy of Lingnan. Li Xin looked at Liang Shuo and said, "Qin Qiong is the governor of Lingnan, and he led 30,000 troops to Changsha to station. King Lone ordered to select 60,000 elites among the surrendered soldiers, Xu Xuanche as the deputy general, are you willing? ”
"Subordinates obey." Qin Qiong was overjoyed in his heart, and in an instant, he thought of the reason why Li Xin had left him in Changsha. A full 90,000 troops were stationed in Changsha. It is not only to deter the situation around Jiangling, but more importantly, to deal with Lingnan, Li Xin wants to hold the entire Lingnan in his hands.
"There is a lot of miasma in Lingnan, and the people from the hospital came to help the general." Li Xin thought about it, Lingnan at this time was not Guangdong in later generations, and the Huguang area at this time was not developed. It was very inconvenient for the army to attack, and during the march, all kinds of difficulties continued, and there were many cases of non-combat attrition of soldiers, so the army was dispatched. There is some logistical preparation that needs to be done.
However, what made Li Xin more relieved was that the soldiers of the army in Qin Qiong's hands were either from the land of Bashu or from around Changsha, and they were also very familiar with the situation in the mountainous areas, and they had long been familiar with this hot and humid climate, and it was much easier to adapt to it than the northern soldiers. The only thing he was worried about was Qin Qiong's body, he remembered that in history, Qin Qiong did not live long.
"My subordinates understand." Qin Qiong nodded and said.
"Wang Shizi is already older, he is going to study, he wants to learn literature and martial arts, Huaiyu is the same age as him, how about it, are you willing to study behind Wang Shizi?" Li Xin looked around and said with a smile: "You are the same, if there is a little guy in the family, whether it is a son or a grandson, as long as you are about the same age as Wang Shizi, you can accompany Wang Shizi and study together." ”
"Prime Minister Xie." Everyone's eyes lit up, and there was a burst of joy in their hearts, Li Xin was preparing a team for Wang Shizi, if he had a relationship with Wang Shizi at this time, he would be Wang Shizi's team in the future, and when Li Xin ascended the throne, Wang Shizi would be the crown prince, and his descendants would have a great chance to become close ministers of the future Son of Heaven in the future.
"Prime Minister, don't you know the son of the minister?" Xiao Miao's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly asked.
"If the county prince is at ease, the lonely king is very welcome!" Li Xin was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Our group of people fight the world, our next generation is to guard the world, this is difficult to fight the world, in fact, it is even more difficult to defend the world, the son of the lonely king needs all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and your son is also like this, the lonely king does not want our descendants to be a group of gentlemen, relying on the official position and power of their fathers, and doing nonsense, if that kind of thing really happens, don't blame this king for not being affectionate, not only to your children and grandchildren, Even you yourselves will be punished. After Li Xin said, his voice was violent, and everyone showed joy on their faces at first, but after Li Xin said it, everyone's faces suddenly deteriorated, and their faces became much more solemn, and their smiles disappeared without a trace, and they lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"My subordinates understand." Ma Zhou and the others hurriedly bowed their heads and responded.
"It's so difficult for us to conquer the world, you can't let your descendants lose all these hard work!" Li Xin snorted coldly and said: "The descendants of the Lone King are in charge of the world, as long as you finally Li Tang, your descendants will enjoy glory and wealth." ”
"Subordinates must be loyal to the prime minister." And they all fell to the ground.
"Let's go, Ma Zhou, give the order to go down, and the three armies can drink." Li Xin looked at the appearance of everyone, he was extremely proud, he nodded with satisfaction, and then pulled Xiao Mo into the big tent, and ordered Ma Zhoubu to have a banquet and reward the three armies.
Far away thousands of miles away beside the Hao River, a big war is about to begin, Li Shimin's army residence in Hebei, Liu Heimin's army is stationed in Henan, the two sides hold flags to cover the sky and the sun, the evil spirit across the sky, only above the Hao River, the water is murmuring. The calm of this place in the past is now obscured by sharp knives and guns, and what is about to happen here will affect the final belonging of the whole of Hebei.
"Second brother, there is so little water in the river, and Liu Heimin is on the bank of the river, he must know." Li Yuanji looked at the upstream and said with some worry. Liu Heimin is a native of Hebei, and he must know the situation of the river, and Li Yuanji is worried that Liu Heimin will not dare to cross the river to attack Li Shimin.
"Don't worry, he'll attack." Li Shimin shook his head and said: "If he doesn't attack, there will be not enough food and grass, and the army's morale will be turbulent, he must attack at this time, and this king will also let him discover the arrangement of the upstream." ”
Li Yuanji was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Liu Heimin opposite with some curiosity, he didn't understand what Li Shimin meant by this, so he could only ride on a war horse and look at Liu Heimin in the distance.
Liu Heimin's face was anxious, looking into the distance, Li Yuanji said well, he is next to the river all the year round, he also knows the situation of the river, although it is the dry season now, but it will not be able to pass with water, and on both sides of the river, it is obvious that there are traces of water, indicating that the water in this place is still very deep a few days ago. Now the water is so shallow, and the only explanation is that Li Shimin built a dam on it, blocked the river, and tried to flood the three armies with water.
"General, there is a dam upstream to block the river." At this time, a few horses flew in the distance, and his face showed joy.
"Li Shimin underestimated me Liu Heimin too much." Liu Heimin's face suddenly showed a look of pride, looked around, and said: "He doesn't want to think about it, what kind of place is this, this is Hebei, it is our territory, Li Shimin wants to flood the three armies, but in fact, he doesn't want to think about every move in these places We all know clearly." ”
"General, the last general will go up and destroy the embankment." Adjutant General Fan Yuan said loudly.
"Well, lead 10,000 troops, immediately destroy the embankment upstream, at this time, the water of the river is not deep, after an hour, when the level of the river calms down, we can kill it." Liu Heimin said with a smile.
"Yes." Fan Yuan hurriedly led an army of 10,000 to kill upstream, and after half a ring, he saw the upstream river rushing down, and the water of the river suddenly rose a lot.
Looking at the river in front of him, Liu Heimin nodded proudly, but Li Yuanji in the distance had a gloomy face, only Li Shimin's face was calm, as if nothing had happened, just standing there quietly, after half a ring, he saw Li Shimin turn his horse's head and kill downstream.
"He wants to cross the river downstream?" Liu Heimin suddenly thought that there was a pontoon bridge downstream, his face suddenly changed a lot, and he snorted coldly and said: "People say that Li Shimin is insidious and cunning, but when I see it today, it is really the case, he led some soldiers to block himself, and some soldiers have actually crossed the pontoon bridge from downstream, and they were taken by surprise, so they easily killed the other side." ”
"Afraid of what? Even if we come, we will kill it now, this place is only twenty miles away from the pontoon bridge, if we move quickly, we will first annihilate their army on the south bank and cut off Li Shimin's arm. Gao Yaxian said loudly.
"Yes, now Li Shimin's conspiracy to flood the three armies has been seen through by us, and if you want to defeat us, you have to do it with real swords and guns, and see if their Turks are powerful, or our brothers are powerful." Liu Heimin said viciously.
"The general is wise, how is Li Shimin the opponent of the general?" Fan Yuan and the others spoke out one after another. Liu Heimin is an old subordinate who followed Dou Jiande, who is extremely brave and has won the hearts of the military. (To be continued......)
