Chapter 2 Vicissitudes of Life

The Turkic king returned to Chang'an Post Station at night, drunk and put on the bed, Jingli quietly sneaked into the room of the Turkic king, killed with a knife, Jingli fled back to the grassland with his mother overnight, and falsely rumored that the Turkic king was assassinated by Li Shimin in Chang'an City, and left his last words before his death by Jingli to inherit the throne and become a new generation of Turkic kings.

The news of the violent death of the Turkic king reached the palace, the emperor was furious, Wanyan was sad and angry, and thought that Liuning must have held a grudge and united his brother Liubin to kill his father.

When Liu Ning saw his brother, he couldn't help but sigh. I think of not seeing him for a long time, my brother Liubin when I was a child because of his handsome face, a pair of peach blossom eyes are very attractive, and his smile makes people feel like a spring breeze, and he is often recognized as Liuning's sister.

Liubin would always look at Liuning angrily and helplessly, and finally made up his mind to come to Changbai Mountain to practice martial arts and exercise himself.

Liuning saw Liubin again, and saw that although Liubin's martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds, he is still a feminine image like a peach blossom, Liuning told Liubin about what happened to him, Liubin was unhappy for his sister, and wanted to find the Turkic king's revenge theory but was stopped: "Brother, you and I have lost our mother and father since childhood, and were accepted by the Turkic king as a righteous son and daughter, thanks to the grace of upbringing, they are unkind, I can't be unjust." ”

Liubin felt that what his sister said made sense, so he didn't refute it again, and then Liuning suddenly changed the topic and said: "Brother, do you have any silver, I want to go back to Chang'an Pawnshop to redeem that son's jade pendant." ”

Liubin looked at Liuning with a smile, and joked to her: "Yo, what's wrong with my sister, why are you still thinking about that jade pendant, you don't even know people's names, so you secretly agreed." ”

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about, believe it or not, I beat you." Liu Ning was a little embarrassed by what his brother said, and he wanted to slap Liu Bin when he grabbed him, but was easily dodged by Liu Bin, and Liu Ning was not convinced, and the two of them made a fuss.

The happy days passed in a flash, the days of living in Changbai Mountain, so that Liuning and Liubin almost forgot the unhappiness of the past, and the people of Tieguan Daoist saw that Liuning also liked it very much, and he was a seedling of martial arts, so he did not hesitate to teach Liuning his housekeeping skills twenty-four flying knives.

Liuning is extremely talented, easy to learn, it didn't take long to master the skills, martial arts to the next level, so that as a closed disciple Liubin felt that the master was particularly unfair to himself, thinking that he could also learn a trick and a half but couldn't do so, so he shouted to the master all day long and said: "Hey, master, why are you so unfair, I have to learn what you teach my sister, otherwise it's not fair!" ”

There was laughter and laughter on Changbai Mountain, but he didn't know that Jingli on the Turkic grassland was planning to send troops to the Tang Dynasty, Jingli ordered to go to Changbai Mountain to bring back all Liuning and Liubin, Queen Mo Ying was very unhappy when she knew, and complained to Jingli and said: "That Liuning hurt your sister to go away, you don't kill her, but you want their brothers and sisters to continue to come back and continue to be princesses and princes, you are really confused." ”

Jingli explained: "Queen Mother, our Turks are employing people, we want to send troops to the Tang Dynasty, thousands of troops are easy to get, good generals are hard to find, I am also for the sake of the Turks, and you are my mother, you will not understand my mind." ”

Jingli's subordinates rushed to Changbai Mountain, but after explaining their intentions, they were driven out by Liubin with a particularly bad attitude, and the little soldier hurriedly pleaded again and again: "Lord, princess, the Turkic king has a life, the little one dare not disobey, if you don't complete the task, the little one will definitely die." ”

Liuning softened his heart and felt that it was wrong for him to run away after all, so he persuaded his brother: "Okay, let him go back and reply, if you have the ability, you let the Turkic king come and invite him personally." ”

Jingli heard his subordinates' reply, and immediately rode to Changbai Mountain, and personally invited the two brothers and sisters of Liuning Liubin to come. Liu Ning was very surprised to see that his brother was coming, and hurriedly asked, "Why is Brother Wang coming, and what about Father?" ”

Jingli's eyes were red, and his voice choked up: "My father's violent death at Chang'an Station was done by Li Shimin, I escaped from Chang'an City with my mother overnight to save my life, and he also occupied Wanyan's sister, thinking that the Tang Dynasty wants us Turkic to pay taxes year after year, bow down and call ourselves ministers, how humiliated we are, now I inherit the throne of my father, work hard, want to set foot in the Central Plains, take Tang Tong's head to avenge my father, but there is a lack of good generals, I especially ask my younger brothers and sisters to follow me back to the grassland, and jointly raise major events. ”

Liuning Liubin was also sad when he heard these words, and he was grateful for his father's nurturing grace and brotherhood, and he released his previous suspicions, returned to the grassland with Jingli, and sent troops to the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin's side was not without action, and summoned the ministers in the court and gave an order: "The Turkic tribes rebelled and broke eight cities in my Tang Dynasty, which was very arrogant, and I named Tang Changyu as the marshal and Zhao Nan as the vanguard, and I will personally supervise the army and sweep away the Turks." "Prepare for battle.

Prime Minister Wen said: "Now that the Turks are attacking, the Turkic concubine Yan Xian should be sent to the cold palace." This suggestion was approved by the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, but Li Shimin did not listen to the minister's performance, and blindly protected Wanyan and said: "Concubine Yan Xian is newly mourned, and her father's violent death in my Chang'an City is also ours, and we can't add new melancholy to her." This matter should not be discussed again, and the court should be withdrawn. ”

In the harem of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin hugged Wanyan and said: "Concubine Ai, your brother Jingli Turkic army has committed my Tang Dynasty, and now I want to drive the royal conquest in person, and everyone in the court wants to beat you into the cold palace, I will never be willing, but I am not by your side, you are alone in the harem, you must protect yourself, be cautious in your words and deeds, and wait for me to come back." ”

Wanyan had a plan in her heart, so she said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, it's better to bring your concubines with you, first, the emperor can protect the concubines, and secondly, the concubines are Turkic princesses, so she can persuade her brother to withdraw from the army and negotiate peace and appease the people." ”

Li Shimin didn't think much about it, and agreed to Wanyan's request, feeling that Wanyan was so aware of righteousness as a woman, and dared to share her worries at a critical moment, so her hand holding Wanyan tightened, and the two looked at each other, and they were beautiful all night.

In the early morning of the next day, the school field was filled with an atmosphere of slaughter, Li Shimin personally ordered the troops, ready to go, and ordered the generals: "Now the Turks have invaded my frontier, rampant, Concubine Yan Xian is righteous and exterminated relatives, today I am driving the personal expedition, and made an oath that those who offend my Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away, and the generals will listen to the order and set off." ”

The ** team drove to the border pass Yumen Pass, where the Turkic troops were stationed, Jingli was the commander, and Liuning Liubin was the vanguard, and they had also sharpened their knives.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Liu Ning asked Ying to be the first to fight: "I feel deeply guilty about the escape, and I will definitely serve Brother Wang." ”

Tang Changyu in the Chinese military tent asked to be the first to fight: "As the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, I won the first battle, and I will not give up taking the head of the enemy's general."

The two armies are in neat formation, the ** soldiers are aggressive under the city, the Turkic soldiers are domineering in successive battles, the generals of the two sides are riding horses and standing in front of the formation, Liuning is holding a Chengying sword, wearing red armor, black hair tied behind his head, his handsome face is more clean, it looks heroic, riding forward, and reporting to his home: "I am the Turkic princess Liuning, who is not afraid of death Hurry up and stand up, let this princess take your head." ”

Tang Changyu was wearing white armor, holding a tiger head gun, and rode a white horse forward: "I am **Marshal Tang Changyu, you..."
