Could it be that the general already knew what Li Shimin had done to him? The moonlight was getting cooler and cooler, and a chill stretched from Shi Defang's neck to the tailbone. If the general knew what Li Shimin had done to him? Why did he still join forces with the Li family in Hedong? That's impossible?!! The German side could not believe its own judgment. He turned his head and looked around, trying to get some help from his companion. But no one around him could guess what was going on in his heart, and no one knew about the plan he had discussed with Xie Yingdeng.

Today, Xie Yingdeng is lying unconscious on the hospital bed in Zhangjiabao. Before he fell unconscious, had this man already arranged for his right-hand men to go out? The German side did not know, and there was nowhere to find the answer. The only thing he can tell himself is that there are many things in life that once they are done, there is no turning back. Once you've taken the first step, you have to follow the path you've set out, even if it's no end at all.

At the foot is a road that the soldiers stepped on, and at the end of the road is the Great Wall. Under the bright moonlight, the Great Wall looks particularly majestic. The guards on duty clung to their lances and patrolled back and forth between the battlements and the beacon. They don't think as much as the Germans, and they don't feel cold. is just seriously sticking to his commitments and responsibilities.

"Maybe I'm overthinking!" Shi Defang secretly comforted himself. He glanced at Li Xu again and saw that the general's face was still calm as usual. This eased the tension in his heart a little. Yes, if Li Shimin knew that the Women's Army was in a deep crisis and refused to come to the rescue. So what is there to worry about. It's nothing more than soldiers coming to block, and water coming to cover the earth. The Boling army will not be defeated, and the general will realize more clearly that the Li family in Hedong is not the candidate to end the troubled times. If the Li family can't end the troubled times, will the general still give up the six counties of Boling? Since he takes it as his responsibility to guard, he will bravely accept his own fate.

Thinking like this, Shi Defang felt that his body temperature had returned to him. Cheered up and made some analysis of the new situation that might arise with his colleagues, and then took his leave, smiled and walked back to his military tent, and fell asleep with the moonlight. There's a fierce battle tomorrow! And it's not the last battle, more needs to be done in the future, and the road is longer!

Under the same moonlight, some people tossed and turned. The results during the day were so depressing that no one could have imagined that the gap between the Hedong Army and the Boling Army was so big! What is even more annoying is the performance of the Hedong generals after the war, Jiang Baoyi has no fighting spirit, Yang Wenxuan is insensitive, even Chen Yanshou, who is the oldest and most cautious, what he does today is too unorthodox. He actually challenged the authority of General Li and his own mastermind in public!

"Get me Chen Changshi!" The more Li Jiancheng thought about it, the more angry he became, walked to the door of his military tent, and shouted outside. In his memory, the elder never disobeyed himself, even if what he did was sometimes not right. What the hell is he going to do? Is it really too old to start getting confused when you get tired?

"No!" Someone outside the door shouted yes, and then quickly walked away. Li Jiancheng sighed, turned back to the table, and continued to worry about the candlelight. He didn't worry about what the risks would be in a battle tomorrow, and since the moment he met Li Xu, the other party had never worried him. He is worried about the lack of talents around him, his younger brother Shimin has Liu Hongji and Hou Junji, and recently I heard that Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui have recruited two famous scholars. On his side, there is no hero who can take charge of himself. The only reassuring strategist, Chen Yanshou, is still old, and his temper is getting weirder and weirder.

Back then, Uncle Chen was not like this. In the entire Tang Mansion, if he can't solve anything, others, whether Ma Yuangui or the eldest grandson Shunde, can't think of a suitable way. And the old people pay attention to each other's identities, even if they are all-encompassing, they rarely take credit. I am more willing to give myself a chance to stand out in this world, and help myself with everything that needs to be done.

Thinking of Chen Yanshou's contribution to running before and after his saddle for so many years, Li Jiancheng's heart began to soften again. He walked to the door again and instructed the guards outside, "Go and make a big pot of tea." Don't put salt and spices, the tea should have a strong flavor. Uncle Chen likes to drink tea! ”

The guards said yes again and trotted to prepare. Li Jiancheng rubbed his dry eyes and waited forcibly. He now began to think that Chen Yanshou was in a hurry to send troops to the decisive battle, and there must be good reasons. It's just that Lao Changshi shouldn't have told him the reason directly, but blindly let people bother to guess.

It's not that he, the commander of the first army, is lazy and thoughtful, but that there are a lot of things here. Hundreds of thousands of troops, eating, drinking, Lazar, grain and grass supplies, transportation expenditures, what does not need him to arrange carefully? His Li Jiancheng's strengths are here, whether it was Huaiyuan Town or Honghua County, the entire Li family's government affairs were well organized by him. Now that he is on the Great Wall, the logistics of the Zhulu army also depend on him so that it will not become a mess. And a person's energy is limited, and he is exhausted after dealing with these government affairs every day, how can he still have the heart to play dumb riddles with his family?

I have to tell Uncle Chen through this. It's all family, and he doesn't have to go around. Li Jiancheng quickly came up with the simplest solution. The mood has calmed down a lot. And Chen Yanshou's voice sounded from outside the door at this time, with a little gasp. "His Royal Highness, the old minister Chen Yanshou is here on order, please give instructions to His Highness!"

"Please, please. Uncle Chen doesn't have to be polite! Li Jiancheng hurriedly greeted the door of the dormitory, with a smile on his face. I just had something to ask you, and I didn't pay attention to the hour. Uncle Chen, don't blame me for disturbing your rest so late! ”

"Shizi is polite!" Chen Yanshou entered the door with a smile, "I'm old, so I'm not so sleepy anymore." It's so fragrant tea, thank you for taking care of it! ”

"Freshly burned. I made a point of telling them not to put salt or spices. Li Jiancheng rubbed his hands happily, "Uncle Chen's habit I still remember, when we were in Huaiyuan, you just liked this mouthful!" ”

The soldiers who had been in the spirit poured the tea cup full, waited for the guests and the host to sit down on the stool, and then tiptoed out, closing the tent door by the way. Chen Yanshou blew a hot breath, and his eyes showed a little appreciation, "It's spring tea from the Junshan area." I didn't expect that in these chaotic years, the prince could still get this kind of goods. ”

"It was made from the palace when I was in Chang'an. After more than half a year, the taste has decreased a lot! Li Jiancheng smiled and confessed to the other party. The minister's house drinks tea, and has its own set of procedures for boiling, blending, brewing, and sifting. The practice of drinking directly with boiling water like this is simply insulting to Sven. Fortunately, Chen Yanshou likes this kind of vulgar drinking, so it is much easier to prepare.

After drinking two cups in succession, Chen Yanshou finally stopped panting. He looked at Li Jiancheng with a cloudy and soft gaze, and asked in a low voice, "The prince is looking for me, do you want to ask me why I insist on an early decisive battle?" Hasn't the prince figured it out yet? ”

"I didn't think about it!" Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly and put down the teacup. The tea soup without salt and spices tastes a little bitter, but it is indeed very refreshing, "I was thinking just now, Uncle Chen is definitely not a whim." Since Zhong Jian agreed, he would naturally do his best to arrange it. I'll just stand at the head of the city and shout for you, there's no need to worry! ”

"Knowing people and making good use of them, using them without doubt, is the way of the king!" Chen Yanshou nodded lightly and expressed his appreciation for Li Jiancheng's "bearing". Tang Gong was the same back then. But Tang Gong has experienced a lot of things, and his eyes are sharper than Shizi! ”

"Of course I can't compare to my father!" Li Jiancheng responded modestly, "There is Uncle Chen here to strategize, and Zhong Jian to charge into battle." My talent is only suitable for trivial chores such as raising grain and transporting grass, resting equipment, etc. I am very satisfied if I can let you wait without worries! ”

"The prince is proficient in government affairs, and he has indeed relieved me of a lot of burdens." Chen Yanshou nodded slowly, agreeing with the other party's statement, "But has the prince ever considered what to do in the future?" I mean, after this battle, how is the prince going to arrange the way out for everyone? ”

"I don't think the battle will be over so quickly even if we win tomorrow. Zhong Jian was there, I was going to look around and pull him in. The gang of people who came to the Hero Building last night, many of them are Fan Hao and Ji Buzhi, as long as they don't ask too much, I am ready to do everything. After this place is settled, I plan to send someone to Dou Jiande to find out his tone, from Wang Fubao's performance, I found that this person is not a simple rogue, if he can be like Xu Shao to return to the court, give him a great fortune? ”

Chen Yanshou's gaze never left Li Jiancheng's face, and when he saw that the other party was very happy, he smiled and agreed, "Of course it's best to be able to calm down the fighting." But who could have predicted how ambitious Prince Dou was? Did the prince think about himself? How do you plan for the future? ”

"Listen to my father's arrangement! Anyway, there will be a lot of battles to be fought in the south! Li Jiancheng didn't think about it, and said urgently. But what does this have to do with Uncle Chen's eagerness for a decisive battle? Could it be that if the war drags on for a month or two and is fought more securely, will it have such a great impact on the future? ”

"It's not a matter of size, either!" Chen Yanshou frowned, and began to sigh secretly in his heart again. Shizi Jiancheng has been trained by Li Yuan to be a good housekeeper since he was a child, and if he is a scholar and a historian, he is simply a first-class candidate. After following a master, it is not difficult for the family to enjoy wealth forever. But he is now the prince of Tang after all? How can you be good at handling government affairs?

"What's the reason for that? Why did Uncle Chen frown. I have already thought about it just now, what I am not good at, Uncle Chen reminded me directly. You've watched me grow up, there's no need to be taboo about anything! Li Jiancheng personally poured tea for Chen Yanshou and reiterated with a smile.

Suddenly, Chen Yanshou's face showed an unconcealable emotion. As a minister, he can make his lord so honest, what else is he complaining about? If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for not having the talent of Zhuge Wuhou and can't carry the beam. Taking a sip of tea fiercely, the elder Shi asked with a heartfelt heart, "Didn't the prince hear that the Emperor Taishang had already gone to the west?" ”

"Yang Guang, he should have had such a day a long time ago. Can the loyalty of the Yuwen family be believed? Li Jiancheng shook his head regretfully. The family has always been suppressed by Yang Guang, so he doesn't have any good impression of this emperor.

"After the Emperor Taishang went west. In the Jingshi, there have always been suggestions to let the young emperor follow Yao Shun's example. I estimate that when the battle in front of me is over, King Tang should also be on the throne! ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Li Jiancheng tried hard to take a sip of tea and sober himself up with the bitter taste. Chen's prediction was exactly what he hoped for. But Jingshi is too far away from Saishang, and if anything happens over there, it will take at least half a month for news to arrive. If his father really ascended the throne, the Li family would become the first family in the world. In this life......

Suddenly, he thought that he might be the crown prince, his hands trembled, and he almost threw the teacup on the ground.

"King Tang ascends the throne, the next step is to establish a prince!" Chen Yanshou's voice was slowly lowered, lest more people hear, "The prince is naturally the first choice for the crown prince by virtue of his military exploits and the merits of running for the family over the years. The matter of the crown prince is related to the fortunes of the country, and the ministers will inevitably have some different proposals! ”

"I trust my father to make the right decision!" Li Jiancheng vaguely felt the reason why Chen Yanshou played dumb riddles, shrugged his shoulders, and made a free and easy appearance. He knew that the second brother Shimin would definitely have to fight at this juncture. It turned out that he was just a son of the world, and his younger brother already regarded his elder brother as a thorn in his side. The crown prince, the position of the prince is more tempting, and there is indeed no shortage of people around the father who are good friends with his younger brother.

But I have the credit for what I did in the past, and what I do today. He cheered himself up in his heart. "So Uncle Chen hopes to defeat Gu Toru as soon as possible and offer a congratulatory gift for his father's accession to the throne! Uncle Chen planned well, but I was too stupid to think of this layer! ”

"It's not!" Chen Yanshou shook his head lightly, "With the help of Zhong Jian and so many heroes, in the battle, the prince will definitely be able to establish miraculous feats." But has the prince thought about it, the second son's military exploits have always been no less than yours. He also arrived in Hedong, anxious to make the same contribution to defending the country and the land! ”

"The Women's Army is stationed in Lou Fu Pass. The soldiers and horses of the people of the world were stationed in Taiyuan. When it comes to the battle of Hedong, Li Jiancheng is more sure, "Even if it is a credit, it is mainly Wan'er's military exploits, and the people of the world are just helping!" ”

"What I'm most worried about now is that the second son won't help!" Chen Yanshou couldn't hold back anymore and sighed loudly. Almost all of Li Yuan's children grew up under his watch. In his heart, Lao Changshi has long regarded these people as his own nephews. He was unwilling to sow discord between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers. Moreover, these words and sentences involve the emperor's family affairs. If he talks too much, he will only set himself on fire. But if you don't say it, Li Shimin is indeed pressing step by step, and he is about to repeat the disaster of the previous dynasty's succession. Once that kind of tragedy happens, it can't help but make the Li family very demoralized, and he, the head of the left army, may not end up well.

Because of this, Chen Yanshou became more and more disappointed with Li Jiancheng. That's the disappointment of hating iron but not steel. If the two brothers were in a transposition, why should he directly understand what should be killed, with a glance, Li Shimin would have known what to do and how to gain the upper hand.

Li Jiancheng didn't speak for a long time, sitting on the stool, the tea cup in his hand had already dried, and he kept sipping the air one after another. He couldn't believe that Li Shimin would be so ruthless, and when he saw Li Wan'er in danger, he had to stand still, so as to reap the maximum benefits in the end. But if you want to surpass yourself in terms of military exploits, Li Shimin must be ruthless this time. Let the Women's Army suffer a defeat first, and then rush forward to turn the tide. In this way, the eyes of the people of the world will be nervously focused on the east of the river, and all the battles that take place in Zhuojun will be overshadowed.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng didn't speak, Chen Yanshou had no choice but to continue to find out the severity of the situation. "If the second son does not move, Wan'er's side will definitely fight very hard. The soldiers and horses under the command of Shibi Khan will not be less than Gu Tulu, and Liu Wuzhou and others are fighting for the tiger! If the war is unfavorable for our army on the western route, it will be easy for the Turks to divide their forces and insert themselves behind us. At that time, everyone will be attacked on their backs, even if Zhong Jian is here, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn the tide! ”

"There are many heroes in the women's army. Although Wan'er is a daughter, she is an out-and-out handsome talent. Uncle Chen, in terms of martial arts, she is not inferior to me. In terms of strategy, she is no worse than me. Wang Yuantong, Qi Poning, Qiu Shili, Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi ......" Li Jiancheng trembled, repeatedly emphasizing the advantages of the Women's Army. The greatest hope is with Wan'er, if Wan'er is not defeated, nothing will happen next.

"Therefore, in the battle of tomorrow, Zhong Jian must win. We must end the fighting here as soon as possible, and strive to free up our hands to help Wan'er. There has been no news from her side for more than ten days, and it must be very difficult! ”

"I'll do my best to send someone to pick it up tomorrow!" Li Jiancheng assured with a serious attitude that he had never seen before, "But Wan'er's side, will Wan'er's side really lose?" ”

"If it weren't for Bolingjun's help. The prince has the certainty of defeating Gu Toru alone! Chen Yanshou's words were like a slap in the face, instantly shattering all Li Jiancheng's wishful thinking.

"Nope!" Li Jiancheng lifted the empty teacup, took a hard breath of air, and then slammed the teacup on the table, "If he really dares to be so ruthless, I will definitely not spare him!" My Li family, how can my Li family have such a ruthless character! ”

"Those who have become great things in ancient times, who is not stepping on other people's bones to ascend to the throne!" Chen Yanshou shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Shizi, you know that there are many talents under Wan'er's command, and others can see it." If you change your Taiyuan garrison, how can you receive the maximum benefit, do you know? ”

"Hold your ground and reap the benefits!" Li Jiancheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He knew that Li Shimin would definitely be able to be so ruthless, but there was no way at all. "If this is true, I will definitely impeach him to my father! Let the father seek justice for Wan'er! ”

"That's not in the best interest!" Chen Yanshou continued to sneer, "Don't move, sit and reap the benefits." Then collect all the generals of the lady under the account, and the two armies will be combined into one, which is the best policy. What kind of ability is it to just stand still? Staying still and making the other person grateful is the best strategy! ”

"I, I'll kill him!" Li Jiancheng gritted his gums so much that he saw blood, and roared in a hoarse voice. "If it's really as Uncle Chen expected, I will definitely kill him! Our Li family will not have this kind of brute. He's not my brother, and my brother can't do that! ”

Until now, he still has a faint glimmer of hope in his heart, expecting Chen Yanshou to be eager to help him stabilize his position, so he does not hesitate to speculate on the behavior of the people of the world with the greatest malice. The younger brother had a very good relationship with Wan'er back then, and Zhongjian, Wan'er, and Shimin were almost inseparable back then. If it weren't for the fire on the Liao River......

Thinking of the flames on the Liao River back then, Li Jiancheng's heart hurt like a knife and a needle. That fire changed so many things and destroyed so many things. The people who ordered the fire have now been dumped and ashes, but the embers of the flames still haunt the hearts of many people.

"I didn't mean to sow discord between the sons and brothers." Before the flame in Li Jiancheng's eyes subsided, Chen Yanshou's words pushed him towards the bottomless abyss again, "I heard that Wan'er has never believed that the news that the Li family was preparing to start an incident was discovered by the imperial court because of Li Jing's informant. She has always wanted to find out who is behind the scenes and avenge Zhiyun and them..."

"Oh my God!" Li Jiancheng felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell into the military tent. Who is behind this? He had already found out all about it! The main purpose of the plan was to clean up Li Xu, and his younger brothers and sisters just suffered from the pond fish. Father had already ordered that no further investigation should be pursued, but Wan'er was not in Taiyuan at the time, and she just didn't hear the relevant orders!

But what should she do when she really finds out the truth? The enemy is in front, and the black hand to be tracked down is behind. When she blows the horn for help, is there still a chance that help will arrive?

"Woo-woo-woo-woo!" Under the bright moonlight, Li Wan'er sounded the horn for help again. The reinforcements had been drawn three days earlier, and the scout said that his brother promised to arrive as scheduled. But the wolf rode wave after wave, and the tide poured up to close the wall, and the brothers around him fell down one after another, but the long-awaited reinforcements did not appear for a long time.

"Handsome! Withdraw, I'll take someone here! Wang Yuantong staggered to Wan'er's side, bleeding all over his body. He hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights, and his whole body would fall down at any moment. But he knew that he couldn't fall, the reinforcements would be able to kill immediately, and this Xiongguan could not be lost.

"Blow the horn!" Li Wan'er wiped her sideburns with her bloody hands and handed the horn in her hand to Wang Yuantong. "You come to blow, I'm short of breath, and the sound is too small!"

"Woo-woo-woo-woo" The rousing horn sounded again, not a call for help, but a battle call. At the sound of the horn, all the soldiers who could stand up stood up, raised their swords and spears, and pounced on the wolf riders who rushed up to the wall.

"Yuantong ......!" Li Wan'er exclaimed. She saw only one back. Wang Yuantong hugged a Turkic Burke who rushed to the front and jumped off the wall with all his might.

Li Wan'er paused for a moment, then chuckled. In an instant, she understood all the answers. Raise the horizontal knife in your hand and swing a drill.

On the Great Wall, the moonlight is like snow tonight.
