Chapter 608: Playing with Brother
The wind rises, and it can't blow away the blood and tears of the soldiers.
The clouds are surging, and they can't hide the sword light and sword shadow.
As twilight fell, the two armies were still fighting fiercely.
Fan Yuan desperately killed Liu Heimin's side: "Lord, we can't stand it anymore, let's withdraw as soon as possible." ”
"No, hold on a little longer, and I will definitely be able to defeat Li Shimin." Liu Heimin unwillingly waved the big knife in his hand and killed two more people.
At this time, Dong Kangmai, Gao Yaxian and other generals also killed them, and they persuaded Liu Heimin one after another: "Lord, our army has fallen behind, if you don't leave at this time, you won't be able to leave in a while." ”
"Yes, Lord, let's go, the green mountains left behind, not afraid of no firewood, we can go to the Turks, and then try to achieve great things in the future."
"Lord, let's go, it's too late."
"Lord, let's go......"
Liu Heimin stopped and swept their faces one by one, and his expressions of frustration, anxiety, eagerness, and panic were all revealed.
"Alas......"
Liu Heimin sighed helplessly: "Let's go." ”
So, everyone worked together, fought hard to break through, and secretly withdrew from the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Handong army did not know that the king of Handong had abandoned them and had fled, and they were still struggling to kill the enemy.
In the end, the Handong army could not resist the offensive of the Tang army and began to withdraw to the north bank of the river.
"It's coming, it's coming."
The soldiers saw that the Handong army was preparing to cross the river, and hurriedly ran to report to Wang Junkuo.
After Wang Junkuo found out, he came to the embankment of the upper reaches of the river and raised his telescope to look down.
When he saw the Handong army rushing to cross the river, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Great, hooked.
When the Handong army fled into the ditch, Wang Junkuo immediately ordered: "Break the embankment and discharge the flood." ”
The soldiers sprang into action.
After a while, a huge wave sloped down from upstream.
"Ah...... Flood ......"
"Run......
The soldiers of the Eastern Han Army opened their blood-red eyes and looked at the rolling flood like thousands of horses galloping, and fear and despair instantly surged into their hearts.
They fled in a hurry, but only two steps before they were swallowed up by the raging floods......
None of the Handong troops in the river were spared, and all of them were drowned.
The Handong army, which had never crossed the river, was shocked and was all killed by the Tang army.
In this battle, Liu Heimin's elite troops were almost completely annihilated, and only hundreds of horsemen followed him and fled to the Turks.
In the process of fleeing, Cao Zhan, Dong Kangmai and Liu Heimin were separated, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the Tang army, they fled into the mountains.
......
I heard that the Handong army was annihilated in the first battle of Lishui, and the lord fled to the Turks, and the Handong army in Hebei was demoralized, and they surrendered to Li Shimin one after another.
However, Gao Kaidao and Xu Yuanlang still violated the territory of the Tang Dynasty by relying on the Turkic support behind them.
Li Shimin decided to lead troops to Henan to attack Xu Yuanlang, but as soon as the army set off, he received Li Yuan's holy decree.
Li Yuan ordered Li Shimin to return to the court immediately.
After receiving such an edict, Li Shimin was very annoyed in his heart, he understood his father's intentions, so he was very unwilling.
In this way, Li Shimin reluctantly changed his course, and Wang Yu, Luo Shixin and others also followed Li Shimin back to Chang'an.
Li Shimin pacified the Hebei rebels, and Chang'an City was full of joy.
In order to show his favor, Li Yuan personally went out of the city to greet Li Shimin, held a celebration banquet for the three armies, and rewarded the meritorious heroes.
During the whole process, Li Shimin smiled and did not sweep Li Yuan's interest.
However, the next day, Li Shimin presented the military situation: "Father, although Liu Heimin's rebel forces have been eradicated, Gao Kaidao and Xu Yuanlang are still in chaos.
"Especially Xu Yuanlang, with the support of the Turks, he captured most of Henan in just a few months, which is no worse than last year's Liu Heimin.
"Although Jieli Khan was stopped in Yanmen by Liu Shirang, there is still Yuan Junzhang's power in Bingzhou, once Yuan Junzhang, together with Xu Yuanlang and Gao Kaidao, leads the Turkic soldiers south, the situation that we have managed to stabilize will collapse in one fell swoop.
"Therefore, it is imperative that we eradicate these traitors and completely cut off the delusions of the Turks."
Li Yuan was silent.
It is undeniable that the situation in Henan is not optimistic, and Erlang is right, once these traitors lead the Turkic soldiers south, the country he has won with great difficulty will be in jeopardy.
Thinking of Liu Heimin's army, he didn't take Liu Heimin in his eyes at all, and it almost caused a catastrophe.
Now in the face of those rebel forces, Li Yuan no longer dared to take it lightly, and after pondering, he said to Li Shimin: "You prepare, set off in two days to conquer Xu Yuanlang." ”
"Yes, father."
The corners of Li Shimin's mouth raised slightly, and he left the Taiji Hall with brisk steps.
......
East Palace.
Li Jiancheng sat on the top seat, looking at Wang Yu who was eating fruit as if nothing had happened, and his heart was surging.
Su Dingfang secretly glimpsed Li Jiancheng's expression, and couldn't help but sweat for Wang Yu in his heart.
However, Wang Yu didn't seem to feel the cold atmosphere in the hall, and gnawed on the fruit by himself, praising the sweetness of the fruit from time to time.
Li Jiancheng couldn't help it, and led the topic to Luo Shixin: "I heard that you saved Luo Shixin's life with the first injection, and the officers and men in the army admired you very much."
"Aya is right, your name as a prodigy is well deserved, no matter what you learn, you are very talented."
"The eldest brother has an overreputation, and the little sister doesn't dare to be it." Wang Yu behaved modestly: "Actually, I don't have any talent for studying medicine, but I have to practice diligently to get to where I am today."
"Moreover, I haven't studied medicine for a long time, and my medical skills are not proficient, so if it is a normal day, I dare not make a move.
"It's just that this time the situation is special, Luo Shixin has no hope, and I am also a dead horse as a live horse doctor."
Li Jiancheng picked up the teacup and turned it slowly: "Since Luo Shixin has no hope of life, why are you trying so hard to save him?" ”
His expression was careless, and his gaze seemed to fall on the tea cup, but his eyes were staring at Wang Yu's face.
Wang Yu swallowed the fruit in his mouth and replied, "My master asked me to go, and you know that it is difficult to disobey my master's order." ”
"Really?" Li Jiancheng was skeptical.
"Hey, that's just one of the reasons." Wang Yugan laughed twice.
Seeing Li Jiancheng look over, Wang Yu instantly put away his laughter and said seriously: "There is another reason, that is, I want to make meritorious contributions." ”
Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were surprised: "Meritorious? ”
"Yes."
Wang Yu glanced around, in addition to her and Li Jiancheng, there were only Su Dingfang and Wang Qi in the hall.
She straightened her posture with a serious expression, and said to Li Jiancheng: "After King Qin pacified Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, his merits were monstrous, if he pacified Liu Heimin again, his power will definitely soar to the sky, and the eldest brother's position may not be guaranteed at that time."
"The reason why I went to save Luo Shixin at that time was to think of making meritorious contributions, so I took 300 elite soldiers to Zhaozhou together.
"If King Qin hadn't pacified Liu Heimin, Aya would only blame him, but he wouldn't blame me, and he wouldn't implicate the eldest brother.
"If King Qin pacifies Liu Heimin, then I will also make meritorious contributions, and Aya will reward me for rewarding you, eldest brother, after all, I am on your side.
"So in this game, the eldest brother didn't lose, and you also got a piece of the pie."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on Wang Yu's face: "The stronger the Jinyang Princess Mansion, the more it can help the eldest brother."
"You say, don't you?"
After listening to Wang Yu's words, the mustard in Li Jiancheng's heart disappeared instantly, and his face finally showed a smile: "You're right, you did a good job this time, and I want to reward you well......"
