Wang Yu drove forward immediately: "I'll go too." ”

Li Shimin didn't say anything and stretched out his hand to her.

Wang Yu looked at his slender fingers, and immediately understood his intentions, and put his fleshy left hand in his big hand.

Li Shimin wrapped her hand, and with a gentle tug, Wang Yu arrived on his horse.

"You stay here."

This sentence was said by Li Shimin to Daquan.

Daquan listened to a burst of joy in his heart, and finally had the opportunity to feel the taste of riding a sweaty BMW.

Li Shimin took Wang Yu and a few personal guards and walked around the outside of Hedong City.

"The city wall is thick enough, no wonder the eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji haven't taken it for so long."

After Wang Yu sighed, he said: "However, when we do a good job of the three-bow bed crossbow, it will be much easier to attack the city." ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Li Shimin looked at the high city wall and looked deep: "Yaojun has been able to hold on to Hedong City for so long without being at a disadvantage, which shows that he is very capable.

"Coupled with Qu Tutong and 20,000 reinforcements, Hedong City will want to capture it for a while and a half, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Wang Yu blinked, Okay, this kind of thing also requires patience.

"Let's go back, we'll have to prepare for both."

When several people returned to the camp, Li Shimin said to Sang Xianhe: "Since you have already attached yourself to me, there is no need to mention the past."

"I'll give you a task now, you take Qu Tutong's family to persuade Qu Tutong to surrender."

After Li Yuan broke through Chang'an, he arrested Qu Tutong's family, just to persuade Qu Tutong to surrender today.

Sang Xianhe took the order and left.

When he came to the city, Sang Xianhe identified himself and shouted to the people above: "General Qu's family is here, and I invite General Qu to come out to meet him." ”

Soon, Qu Tutong appeared on the city wall, and he looked at his family under the city with a sad gaze.

Then he couldn't help but look at them, but turned his gaze to Sang Xianhe, his face full of disappointment: "Sang Xianhe, I ordered you to resist the rebels, but you surrendered to the rebels, what face do you have in front of me?" What kind of face do you have to go to your majesty? ”

A trace of shame flashed in Sang Xianhe's eyes, and then he returned to normal, "The situation is forced, and I am also out of helplessness."

"General, Your Majesty is so tyrannical and tyrannical that the people are not able to make a living, so it is better to support the new lord and support the community.

"Those who know the times are Junjie!"

This earnest persuasion did not move Qu Tutong, but aroused Qu Tutong's anger: "Dog thief, I was a colleague with you in the past, and today I am an enemy with you." ”

After speaking, he bent his bow and shot an arrow at Sang Xianhe.

Sang Xianhe hurriedly dodged and retreated out of range.

When the persuasion failed, Sang Xianhe said to Qu Tutong's family: "You few, if you want to live, persuade Qu Tutong to surrender." ”

The first to speak was Qu Tutong's most trusted butler, he raised his head and shouted to Qu Tutong: "Ah Lang, the whole Qu Mansion has been arrested by the Prime Minister, so you can surrender." ”

Qin Shubao looked at it from afar and said to the people around him, "Do you think Qu Tutong will surrender?" ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Qu Tutong is loyal and upright by nature, I'm afraid it will be difficult to let him surrender." ”

"But his brothers, sons, and all his relatives are in our hands, and for the sake of his relatives' lives, he should surrender, right?" Wang Yu felt that the ancients valued filial piety and family affection the most, and Qu Tutong would never care about his son's life or death.

"Ahh

Suddenly, there was a scream, and several people looked down the city, only to see the butler lying on the ground, and the blood trickling under him.

Qu Tutong's eldest son, Qu Tushou, couldn't help but tremble when he saw this scene, and he looked at the city with tears in his eyes: "Aye, surrender, don't you care about the life or death of me and Erlang?" ”

Qu Tutong began to draw the bow again.

Wang Yu looked nervous and inexplicable, and clasped his hands tightly: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children, shouldn't he kill his son?" ”

Li Shimin glanced down at her, did not speak, and continued to watch the situation under the city.

"Huh~"

The feather arrow descended from the head of the city and galloped towards Qu Tushou.

Wang Yu subconsciously raised his right hand, and the crossbow arrow headed towards the feather arrow.

At the same time, another feathered arrow shot from behind the crossbow arrow, preemptively knocking Qu Tutong's feathered arrow to the ground.

Qu Tushou looked at the two feather arrows at his feet, and couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart.

"Bring them back." Li Shimin ordered the guards.

Wang Yu looked back at Li Shimin, saw him holding a bow in his hand, and sighed in his heart: Sure enough.

Sang Xianhe saw that Qu Tutong would rather shoot his son than surrender, and knew in his heart that it would be useless to persuade him.

After thinking about it, Sang Xianhe had a flash of inspiration and shouted loudly: "Chang'an has fallen, we are all from Guanzhong, and our relatives are all in Guanzhong, you will die of food sooner or later, why make senseless sacrifices?"

"Surrender as soon as possible and return to Guanzhong as soon as possible to reunite with your family, isn't it?"

As soon as these words came out, the Sui army on the city wall couldn't help but be moved, and even the soldiers in the city began to shake in their hearts when they heard it.

Seeing this, Qu Tutong warned the soldiers: "How can you rebel when you receive Your Majesty's grace?" If there is a dissenting heart, make a decision. ”

The soldiers' hearts froze, and their faces turned cold and hard.

Sang Xianhe shouted so loudly that his throat smoked, and after not seeing Qu Tutong respond for a long time, he returned to Li Shimin's side: "Qin Guogong, his subordinates are incompetent, and they failed to persuade Qu Tutong to surrender. ”

"It's okay, you go down first." Li Shimin did not punish Sang Xianhe, but looked at the city wall in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wang Yu followed his gaze and muttered, "It seems that we can only attack." ”

At this time, there was a commotion from behind.

Wang Yu looked back, but saw Wang Kangda and Yang Mao driving their horses forward, "Why are you here?" ”

Wang Kangda couldn't help but be embarrassed, and first greeted Li Shimin, and then answered Wang Yu's question: "The prime minister is not worried about you, so he sent us to protect you." ”

Wang Yu touched the back of her head, Li Yuan was too unconfident in her.

"Since you're okay, Xiao Yu'er, I'll send someone back to tell the prime minister."

Wang Yu waved his hand and let Wang Kangda arrange it.

On this day, the people camped outside the city of Hedong and discussed the siege strategy.

After discussing the military, Li Shimin suddenly said to the guards: "Put Xiao Yu'er's tent next to me." ”

The guards immediately went to move the tent.

After finishing, Li Shimin went to look at Wang Yu's tent, and when he returned, he instructed his guards: "Move my bed to the left." ”

Wang Yu and Daquan went to the river, and when she came back and was told that the tent had been moved, she didn't say anything, and stayed in peace.

Late at night, Li Shimin stared at the tent next door and went to bed.

In the dark, Li Shimin opened his eyes, thinking about the siege of the city, until the sound of heavy breathing came from the tent next door, he relaxed his mind and fell asleep.

I don't know how long later, there was a muffled noise next door, Li Shimin woke up, and ran out of the tent without even putting on his coat.

"Xiao Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Li Shimin stood outside the tent and asked through the tent.

Daquan, who was guarding outside the tent, opened his eyes in a daze, and when he saw Li Shimin's face, he immediately sobered up: "Qin.... Guogong? Why are you here. ”
