Chapter 22: Throwing yourself into the net

Wang Bodang glanced around and said to Li Mi: "Lord, we can't resist anymore, let's withdraw." ”

Li Mi clenched his weapon, his face was full of unwillingness, he had carefully designed an ambush to wipe out Li Yuan, but he didn't expect the boat to capsize in the gutter and be ambushed by the other party.

Now that Liang will be captured, most of his subordinates will be lost, and if he continues to fight, he may lose even more, even... I'll die here.

After thinking about it again, he forcibly suppressed the unwillingness in his heart and ordered: "Withdraw." ”

Hearing this, Wang Bodang took hundreds of elite cavalry to cover Li Mi's departure, and the rest of the people retreated after the palace.

"Chase."

The morale of the Sui army was greatly shaken and they pursued closely.

The Wagang army ran a distance, and one of them shouted, "Where is General Xu?" Why didn't you see him? ”

The soldier next to him replied: "General Xu was captured by the enemy. ”

"What? General Xu was arrested? No, I have to save him. The man turned his horse's head and ran back.

"Hey..."

"Leave him alone, it's important to escape."

So, Li Yuan's army, who had just captured the troops behind the palace, saw that there were still Wagang troops coming back to die, their eyes were as bright as the sun in the sky, and the prey was thrown into the net, and it was really good weather today.

There was no suspense, and this small army that came back to save people was also arrested by Li Yuan's army.

"Alright, poor Kou Mo Chase, let's go into the city."

......

Zhai Rang, who was still waiting for his prey, was already waiting impatiently, and even began to wonder if the information he got before was true, "Did the scout find out?" Did Li Yuan really come to Xingyang? ”

"It's... This..."

After waiting all night, his subordinates were not sure, and they were speechless.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance.

"Here, someone's coming."

Everyone immediately became vigilant, clenched their weapons, and looked ahead.

"No, it's not going in the right direction."

"Hey, it looks like it's one of us."

"Yes, yes, yes, it's my own people, it's Pushan Gong."

Everyone relaxed, but soon, they realized that something was wrong, and looking at the appearance of those people, it was clear that they had fled for their lives, and there were many fewer people.

When Li Mi and the others approached, Zhai Rang hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't you lie in ambush at the Great Sea Temple? How did you get here? Also, why are there only so many of you? What about the others? ”

Li Mi took a breath and was deeply ashamed: "Gong Zhai can't help it, this time I miscalculated, I didn't expect Li Yuan to set up an ambush first." We were ambushed and lost more than half of our lives.

"Alas... Now is not the time to talk about this, Li Yuan is behind, let's withdraw first. ”

......

Li Mi planned this operation, and almost all the troops brought out were used, and there were not many troops left in Xingyang City. After Li Yuan arrived in Xingyang, he quickly wiped them out and took back Xingyang City.

"Report to the imperial court, we have recovered Xingyang."

After Li Yuan ordered people to report to the imperial court, he began to rearrange the prevention and control of Xingyang, and sent troops to search for the remnants of Wagangzhai.

After arranging everything, Li Yuan took a short rest, and then summoned Xingyang Tongshou for questioning.

"For such a long time, hasn't Your Majesty sent a single soldier to rescue Xingyang?"

Xingyang Tongshou replied: "No, General Zhang Xutuo once asked for an order to crusade against the Wagang rebels, but His Majesty did not answer. Not long ago, His Majesty was determined to fight against rebellions in various places, and sent 12 envoys to quell the rebellion. ”

If Yang Guang didn't take Wagangzhai in his eyes, this is possible.

But what happened when Yang Guang suddenly made up his mind to quell the rebellion? Didn't he go to Jiangdu? How did you come back again?

Li Yuan asked again: "Has anything unusual happened in Luoyang recently?" ”

Xingyang Tongshou thought for a moment, "There is one thing that is very strange, a few days ago, His Majesty suddenly issued an edict of guilt and distributed it to all parts of the prefecture. Tang Guogong is far away in Taiyuan, so he shouldn't know about it, right? ”

Guilty of self-inflicted edicts?

These days, he was busy marching and hurrying, and as soon as he arrived in Xingyang, he started a war, and he really didn't know about it.

"Good and dignified, why did you suddenly make an edict against yourself? Go and show me the edict. Li Yuan commanded.

Xingyang Tongshou quickly took the hand-copied version of the edict.

Li Yuan took a closer look, and it was really a guilty edict, which deeply reflected on the rebellion and war in recent years and the grievances of the people. Yang Guang also made a promise in it that he would no longer build large-scale construction projects, and would do his best to quell the rebellion and restore peace to the people. Promised that traitors everywhere would not be held accountable for their crimes as long as they surrendered, and that they would be knighted...

This is not Yang Guang's character, he has always been arrogant and never admits his mistakes. And there are no natural or man-made disasters, just rebellions are everywhere, so Yang Guang will be guilty of his own edict, which doesn't make sense.

After living in Luoyang for so many years, Li Yuan knew very well what kind of person his cousin Yang Guang was, so he felt that this matter was very strange.

"You go down first."

After sending Xingyang Tongshou away, Li Yuan immediately summoned his confidants and strategists and convened an emergency meeting.

.......

"Has Wang Yu woken up?"

Li Shimin asked as he walked into the room.

"Not yet." The creep replied.

"Not awake yet?"

Li Shimin is a little worried, he has slept for two days, and he hasn't woken up yet? Isn't Mo sick?

When he came to the room, Li Shimin looked at Wang Yu on the bed and found that she was not solid in her sleep, with fine sweat on her forehead, her face was pale, her hands were clenched into fists, and her mouth seemed to be still talking in her sleep.

Li Shimin bent down and put his ear in front of Wang Yu, only to hear a voice as thin as a gossamer: "It hurts... It hurts..."

Pain?

Li Shimin recalled the scene the day before yesterday, when he saw that she was emotionally unstable for the first time in killing, he took her with him and never left a step.

Later, when she entered the city, she only said two words, and then fell into his arms, and she said, "I am so sleepy..."

Seeing that she was not injured at that time, he thought that she was too tired from not sleeping well after following them for several days, and then placed her in this room and let her sleep well.

After all, he was still a child and needed sleep, and he could understand that.

After sleeping for two days, and now he is still screaming pain, Li Shimin felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly lifted the quilt, wanting to help Wang Yu check whether there were any injuries on his body.

As soon as he touched Wang Yu's clothes, his hand froze.

By the way, this is a girl.

"Go, get a female doctor."

......

Seeing the female doctor come out, Li Shimin greeted him: "Doctor, how is she?" Are there any injuries on the body? ”

The female doctor hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The little lady doesn't have to worry about her life, but she just rode a horse for a long time to make her..."

Speaking of this, he changed his words after consideration: "... There are some abrasions on the body, coupled with overwork and worry, which leads to mental damage, and it is okay to recuperate for a few days.

"But remember, don't let her ride again these days, or the wound will fester, and it will be difficult to heal.

"This is wound medicine, three times a day, I will prescribe another medicine, drink ten pairs to heal."

Li Shimin wrote down in his heart: "Thank you, doctor." ”

After sending the female doctor away, Li Shimin glanced at Wang Yu inside, and wanted to find a maid to rub the medicine for her...
