The sun shines wantonly, making people blind.

Cao Zhan raised his hand to cover his eyes, and raised his feet to walk in the direction of Empress Cao.

"I heard that Li Shimin released all the 50,000 people, so we might as well send a message to all parties, support the crown prince to ascend the throne, gather troops from all over the country, and regroup."

Qi Shanxing frowned and said, "After the 50,000 soldiers were freed, none of them followed us, which shows that they have no intention of fighting.

"Besides, our army has suffered a setback this time, and it will be difficult for the officers and soldiers to regain confidence in a short period of time, and if we fight with the Tang army now, we will definitely lose."

Listening to Qi Shanxing's meaning, it was obvious that he did not approve of his idea, so Cao Zhan looked at Queen Cao: "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the Queen thinks?" ”

Empress Cao raised her head, glanced at everyone, and said slowly: "The Tang army is full of spirit, and now it is a dominant country, and with our remaining troops, it is impossible to fight against it at all.

"In my opinion, it is better to surrender, stop fighting, and stop causing hardship to the people."

Qi Shanxing was silent, but the expression on his face revealed approval.

Cao Zhan disagreed: "My Xia Kingdom was already in Hebei, but now it is just a defeat in Henan, and it is not the loss of Hebei's territory, why do you want to surrender?"

"Although we have lost a lot of troops, we have not been fundamentally injured, we are holding Hebei, and the Tang army will not be able to attack it for a while and a half.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can recharge our energy and fight to the death with the Tang army in the coming days......"

Before he finished his words, the scout came to report: "Empress Yu, Li Yi, the king of Tang Yan, led his troops to invade our country, and now he has arrived in Zhaozhou. ”

Hearing this, Empress Cao stood up, turned over and got on her horse, and did it in one go.

"Come back to Zhaozhou with me."

Everyone hurried up, and when they arrived at the city of Zhaozhou, there were corpses everywhere, and the sound of fighting came from the city.

Empress Cao walked all the way to the palace gate and found that most of the corpses on the ground were Xia Jun, and her heart sank.

The Tang army stationed at the gate of the palace soon discovered Empress Cao and her party, and the soldiers shouted: "There are still fish that have slipped through the net here." ”

Yang Mao heard it, looked back, and when he saw Queen Cao's face, he couldn't help but be happy: "That's the Queen of Xia Kingdom, catch her quickly." ”

The Tang army immediately rushed to Empress Cao.

"Click......

Cao Zhan and the others showed their weapons in unison and attacked the Tang army head-on.

At this moment, Empress Cao shouted loudly, "Stop." ”

Cao Zhan paused, and looked back at Empress Cao.

Others also stopped.

Empress Cao dismounted, walked in front of the Tang army, and said calmly: "We surrender." ”

"Queen......" Cao Zhan couldn't help but shout.

However, Empress Cao did not pay attention to him, but threw the weapon in her hand on the ground, stretched out her hands, and looked like she was being slaughtered.

Qi Shanxing glanced at Empress Cao, and also lost the weapon in his hand.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind disarmed and surrendered.

Cao Zhan had no choice but to follow.

Yang Mao was overjoyed, ordered his subordinates to tie them up, and then took Empress Cao to the palace.

In the palace, the Tang and Xia armies were still fighting fiercely.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The piercing gong sounded, the battlefield was shaken, and everyone stopped moving.

The sound of the gong gradually subsided, and Wei Ping took the opportunity to shout: "Empress Cao has arrived." ”

Everyone looked at the source of the sound.

The soldiers retreated to both sides, making way for the middle.

Seeing Empress Cao being escorted to the center of the square by the Tang army, Dou Xiong, who was standing on the city tower, was shocked, and he shouted loudly: "A-Niang." ”

"Da Lang......" As soon as Empress Cao shouted, the sourness in her heart surged up.

She strongly suppressed the sadness in her heart and shouted loudly: "Da Lang, your father has been captured by the Tang Army, and we are gone."

"Surrender, don't sacrifice innocent soldiers."

Hearing that Dou Jiande was captured, the fighting spirit of the Xia soldiers collapsed instantly, and Dou Xiong was also shaky.

"How could it be...... How could it be ......"

Father is obviously very powerful, how could he lose to Tang Jun?

The sound of "ping pong" came, and the soldiers of the Xia army lost their weapons one after another and surrendered to the Tang army.

Li Yi was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to tie up Dou Xiong and the high-ranking officials of the Xia Army.

When Dou Xiong was escorted to Empress Cao, Empress Cao asked him, "What about Erlang?" ”

Dou Xiong's eyes flickered, and then he lowered his head, not daring to look at Empress Cao: "Erlang, he ...... Killed by the Don Army. ”

"No......" Empress Cao seemed to have been greatly hit, her body was shaky, she staggered back two steps, and finally fell to the ground, crying bitterly.

......

In the first battle of Zhaozhou, Li Yi won a complete victory.

Empress Cao led Qi Shanxing, Pei Ju, Cao Dan, Wei Zheng and other officials to donate the land of the Xia Kingdom, handed over the seal of the Xia Dynasty, and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

When the news reached the ears of Liu Heimin, Gao Yaxian and others, they immediately stopped their steps back to Zhaozhou and quietly hid.

Subsequently, more than thirty states belonging to the Zheng and Xia states all surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

So far, except for Xiao Miao, Li Zitong, Lin Shihong and several other regimes in the south who are still resisting, Li Yuan has already sat on most of the world.

------------

June 29, the fourth year of Wude, is the most anticipated day for the people of Chang'an, because the King of Qin will arrive in Chang'an on this day.

As soon as the door opened, the people rushed to Suzaku Street.

Soon, both sides of Suzaku Street were crowded with people, all of whom were looking forward to the direction of Mingdemon.

"It's coming, it's coming." Excited voices rang out.

The next moment, the heroic Li Shimin took the lead in everyone's eyes, and the onlookers immediately cheered.

"King Qin, King Qin......"

They poured all the admiration and admiration in their hearts into the word "King of Qin", and shouted this title with all their strength.

The excited cheers of tens of thousands of people were like a flash flood erupting, engulfing the entire capital in an instant.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, wearing golden armor, walked at the front of the procession, followed by Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and thirty mighty generals such as Li Shiyun, Cheng Zhijie, Qu Tutong, and Qin Shubao.

Behind them were the black-armored cavalry, the Xuanjia Army, and then the fully armed infantry.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on their armor, emitting a gorgeous and dazzling light, which was fascinating.

"Wow, King Qin Zhenjun, if only I could marry into King Qin's mansion."

"Wow, General Cheng is more handsome than in the album, I want his autographed album."

"Alas, women are short-sighted...... Wow, General Qin is so mighty, I'm going to take refuge with General Qin......"

"Phew, you have only seen a lot, my brother said, I will go to the King of Qin tomorrow."

......

Listening to the quarrels and cheers downstairs, Wang Yu couldn't help laughing.

"This music sounds familiar." The eldest grandson listened.

Such a grand scene is naturally indispensable to music. The army walked all the way from Mingde Gate to the imperial city, accompanied by military music along the way.

Wang Yu smiled: "After the second brother pacified Liu Wuzhou, the soldiers filled in the new words with the old song and dedicated it to the second brother, called "Breaking the Array Music".

"Later, I changed a few places, and it became today's tune, how does my sister-in-law feel about it?"

"No wonder it's so familiar." The eldest grandson bent the corners of his lips and listened carefully: "However, the changed tune is more majestic than the original tune, and it is very suitable for today's occasion." ”

"It's even more imposing." Guo Yunxi playfully came over.

Wang Yu grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has vision. ”

"Haha......"

The three of them laughed.

"Look, who is that?" Qi Shui suddenly pointed downstairs and asked.
