At that time, in order to capture Luoyang in one fell swoop, Li Yuan let Li Shimin lead eight commanders and 25 generals, with a total of more than 80,000 troops to conquer Wang Shichong.

Among them, Dou Liang, the governor of Yizhou, sent Qu Tutong to lead troops to follow Li Shimin's eastward expedition.

After learning that Liu Wuzhou's old troops had escaped from the camp and surrendered to Wang Shichong, Qu Tutong and Li Jing and other generals led their troops to arrest Wei Chi Jingde.

Wei Chi Jingde did not run, he was patrolling the barracks.

"Stop."

Qu Tutong shouted, and the soldiers surrounded Wei Chi Jingde.

"You ......" Wei Chi Jingde was a little stunned at first, but quickly reacted.

The next moment, Yin Kaishan led the sharpshooters to arrive, and raised their guns one by one to aim at Wei Chi Jingde.

Li Yuanji rode a high-headed horse, came to Wei Chi Jingde majestically, and announced loudly: "Xun Xiang and others have defected and have surrendered to Wang Shichong.

"Wei Chi Jingde is in the same group with them, and he should be killed.

"Listen to my order, and execute Wei Chi Jingde on the spot."

The soldiers were stunned for a moment and did not move.

Yin Kaishan said, "Deputy marshal, let's wait for the marshal to come back and then dispose of him." ”

"What? Do you dare not listen to my commands? Li Yuanji's eyebrows were high and his face was angry.

"The last general will not dare." Yin Kaishan's attitude was very respectful: "It's just that Your Majesty has instructed that all matters in the army are subject to the marshal's orders, and the last general thinks that Wei Chi Jingde should be locked up first, and then dealt with when the marshal returns." ”

Li Yuanji frowned, very unhappy in his heart.

At this time, Chai Shao came out to play a round: "Yin Shangshu is right, let's lock him up first." ”

Seeing that it was Chai Shao who spoke, Li Yuanji's anger decreased slightly.

"Lock people up." Chai Shao took the opportunity to order someone to escort Chi Jingde down.

Looking at the black muzzles around him, Wei Chi Jingde didn't dare to struggle, and let the soldiers tie him up.

He did not cry out for himself, because these people did not believe him, and it was useless to talk more.

......

Five days after Wei Chi Jingde was imprisoned, Li Shimin won a battle and returned to the base camp, and Yin Kaishan told Li Shimin about the detention of Wei Chi Jingde.

Li Shimin didn't say anything, and immediately ordered the release of the people.

Qu Tutong persuaded: "Wei Chi Jingde has not been surrendered for a long time, and he has not completely surrendered emotionally.

"This man is fierce and brave, few people in the army can resist, and now he is suspected by us, and he must be resentful after being held for so long.

"This person can't be released, he must be killed immediately."

"That's right, kill Yu Chi Jingde immediately." Li Yuanji echoed excitedly.

Li Shimin glanced at Li Yuanji deeply, and then glanced at the others: "What about your opinions?" ”

They looked at each other, and finally Chai Shao, as a representative, said: "We think that Wei Chi Jingde can't stay, and he should be killed immediately." ”

"I don't think you see it the same way." Li Shimin said slowly: "Wei Chi Jingde is a smart man and a brave man, if he wants to defect, he will never look for them and leave him, and still patrol the army as if nothing happened.

"I dare to conclude that Wei Chi Jingde has no intention of betrayal, and this person cannot be killed."

As soon as he heard that Li Shimin was not going to kill Wei Chi Jingde, Li Yuanji was suddenly unhappy and shouted: "Second brother, do you want to lure the wolf into the room?"

"Wei Chi Jingde is a wolf, a wolf that is not well raised, if you leave him, you will definitely harm the Tang Army and yourself in the future."

Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, Shiro was really getting more and more perverse when he spoke.

He stared at Li Yuanji, showed the majesty of a marshal, and said in a deep voice: "I have made up my mind, and there is no need to discuss this matter." ”

Li Yuanji felt that he was refuted by Li Shimin, lost face in front of everyone, snorted heavily, and left angrily.

I haven't seen any strength, and my temper is getting bigger and bigger.

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanji's back and shook his head in disappointment.

Next, Li Shimin personally went to release Wei Chi Jingde, took him to his bedroom, waved the others away, and said to him: "Since I fought with you on the Luoyang Shangsi Festival, I have always admired you.

"I believe that you and I have the same aspirations, so I trust you, and I don't believe that you are the same as Xunxiang and them, and want to betray me to join Wang Shichong.

"Don't worry, I will never listen to slander and persecute loyal ministers and good generals, but please also understand their original intentions.

"Those who achieve great things are not informal, you are a hero, I hope you don't take this grievance to heart, from now on, abandon the past suspicions, we fight side by side.

"If you have to leave, this money will be used for you."

Li Shimin pushed the burden on the case: "If you are willing to stay, this money will also be given to you, which will be counted as my atonement." ”

The King of Qin, who had made great achievements in battle, personally apologized to him, and Wei Chi Jingde was surprised in his heart, but at the same time he also admired Li Shimin's character.

Wei Chi Jingde only thought for a moment, and then said: "The last general swears to follow the king of Qin to the death, go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up. ”

"Okay." Li Shimin was very happy, got up and said, "You go and clean up, and in two quarters of an hour, follow me to inspect the battlefield." ”

"Yes."

......

Two quarters of an hour later, Li Shimin and Wei Chi Jingde led 500 cavalry to inspect the battlefield, and when they arrived at the tomb of Emperor Xuanwu of Wei, countless soldiers suddenly rushed out of the surroundings.

Li Shimin subconsciously raised his hand and shot an arrow into the sky.

Wei Chi Jingde and the others immediately pulled out their weapons and confronted them.

"Haha......"

The soldiers made way to the sides like a tide, and Wang Shichong, dressed in armor, laughed and drove his horse away.

Seeing that Li Shimin was firmly surrounded by his people, Wang Shichong laughed even more arrogantly: "Hahaha...... Li Shimin, do you also have today?

"If you fall into my hands today, I will definitely want you to live better than die, and then slaughter Li Yuan fiercely."

"Hehe~" Li Shimin let out a sneer: "I dream in broad daylight, I really laughed off my big teeth." ”

The smile on Wang Shichong's face instantly froze, and then he said angrily: "Boy, I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise the sword will not grow long, and you will die here, but no one will collect your body." ”

"That's exactly what I'm going to say to you." Li Shimin did not show weakness and fought back strongly.

"You ......" Wang Shi was so angry that he shouted loudly: "Give it all to me, catch Li Shimin, and seal the prince of the country." ”

Hearing this, the soldiers swarmed up.

Li Shimin was not afraid, and immediately carried his weapons and rushed towards the enemy on horseback.

"Kill!"

The killing began.

Blood splattered.

Wang Shichong stood outside the crowd, looking at Li Shimin, who was fighting for his life in the center of the battlefield, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

He brought more than 10,000 people, while Li Shimin only had a few hundred, no matter how you look at it, this is a victory without suspense.

As he thought, the people around Li Shimin were quickly dispersed by his people and turned into fighting alone.

And his fierce general, Shan Xiongxin, held a horse lance and rushed straight towards Li Shimin.

"Li Shimin, take your life."

Shan Xiongxin was very strong, and wherever the horse lance passed, the Tang army was all off the horse, and the horse lance in his hand was soon entangled with Li Shimin's weapon.

The two fought fiercely for hundreds of rounds, and Li Shimin had a move that was a little slower, and he was picked off the horse by Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin quickly drove the horse, holding the horse lance and stabbing it directly into Li Shimin's chest: "Li Shimin, today is your ...... death."
