Liu Ning hurriedly spoke: "I'm not here to persuade you to surrender, now everyone is celebrating, and the guard is lax, I know a path to your ** camp, I'll send you out." ”

Tang Changyu looked at Liuning in surprise: "You..."

"I just want to repay you for your kindness. Come with me. Liuning left without looking back, Tang Changyu hurriedly followed, the Turkic army was still immersed in the joy of victory, all the posts were relaxed, it was easy to get out of the Turkic camp, a small road was rugged and difficult to walk, the night was dark, the two were speechless all the way, and when they arrived in front of the Tang camp, Liuning said: "Don't leave it here, you go back and recuperate." ”

Tang Changyu walked all the way, his heart was entangled, he only heard him call Liuning's name lightly, and said a word you wanted to say and stopped, Liuning saw him look embarrassed, so he said: "This road is only known to me and my brother Liubin, we will not quietly attack the Tang camp from here, we are all gentlemen, we will never use this trick, I didn't expect me to sacrifice my life to save you, but you are so suspicious of me." ”

Tang Changyu saw that Liuning's eyes were gradually dimming, and he was also very embarrassed, in the face of the righteousness of the family and the country, he didn't dare to mix with the personal feelings of his children, Tang Changyu didn't dare to look at Liuning directly, just looked at Tang Ying in the distance and said: "I am the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, and you are a Turkic princess, the enemy of life and death, I have doubts, too..."

Liu Ning hurriedly interrupted his words, turned to leave, quietly wiped away his tears, and said word by word: "You and I have a grudge written off today, and we will not owe each other from now on." ”

Tang Changyu returned to the Tang camp, everyone was discussing the strategy of retiring the army to rescue the marshal, seeing Tang Changyu come back were very surprised, Li Shimin was even more surprised and said: "Now Marshal Tang has returned safely, we have no worries, tomorrow early morning while the Turkic army is still immersed in the joy of victory, General Zhao led a team of soldiers and horses around the back of Yumen Pass, Marshal Tang attacked from the front, front and back, and then sent two roads of men and horses to attack the side gate respectively, attacking it unprepared, we have been recuperating for many days, and we will be able to take Yumen Pass in one fell swoop." ”

Tang Changyu returned to his tent, Zhao Nan carried a pot of wine and followed in, Zhao Nan poured wine for Tang Changyu and himself, and looked at Tang Changyu with a wicked smile. Tang Changyu was a little uncomfortable, so he asked, "What do you want to say when you look at me with such a treacherous face, just say it directly." ”

"You said you..."

"Don't look at me ambiguously, I'm not interested in you, say something quickly." Tang Changyu was still upset at this time, and looked at Zhao Nan with some impatience.

"How did you escape?" Seeing that Tang Changyu was silent, Zhao Nan took a sip of wine and said, "That princess Liuning let you out." ”

Tang Changyu was very surprised and nodded: "How do you know?" ”

"The two of us grew up together, what can you hide from me? I have long seen that something is wrong with the two of you, you fought with Princess Naliuning for the first time, you did not kill her, but resisted everywhere, this is not your Marshal Tang's style, and she left you an antidote when you were injured, even the princess's brother spared my life on the battlefield, and told me that the bottle was the antidote, and the most important thing is that you look at her as if you are facing an old friend, and the way she looks at you is very different. ”

"Do you still remember the girl I rescued and gave the jade pendant on the street after we drank that night, it was the princess of Liuning" After speaking, Tang Changyu sighed and poured himself a big bowl of wine, as if he wanted to swallow the tangled struggles and pains of these days.

Zhao Nan suddenly realized, and said with a hippie smile: "It turns out that there is such a large love affair here, yes, the suave Generalissimo Tang actually fell in love with a little princess of an enemy country at first sight, which is really interesting." ”

Tang Changyu glanced at Zhao Nan and said, "You don't talk nonsense." Zhao Nan saw that Tang Changyu's stubborn appearance was angry and funny, and he didn't pay attention to his temper, but just accompanied Tang Changyu to drink glass after glass.

At this moment, the Turkic soldiers found that Tang Changyu was missing and hurriedly reported to Jingli, Liuning came back, kneeling in front of Jingli: "Brother Wang, Liuning is guilty of capital crimes, and let Tang Changyu go without permission, but I have received his favor in Chang'an, today I am not only to repay the kindness, but I fell in love with him at first sight in Chang'an, I wanted to stay by his side and persuade him to surrender, but he refused to die, I can't see him die here, so he escaped from Yumen Pass, I committed a monstrous disaster, I don't ask Brother Wang for forgiveness, but ask for death." ”

Everyone in the palace looked at each other at this moment, Jingli was also shocked at the moment, who would have thought that Liuning and the marshal of ** had such a deep relationship, and said such words in public, plus anger, he didn't know how to speak for a while, Liubin hurriedly pleaded for his sister, Jingli shook his head, but only said: "Now that the big mistake has been made, it will be useless to punish you again, you should think about the past behind closed doors, and fight for my Turks in the future, and you must not be merciful." So he let Liuning go.

Liuning didn't think that Jingli could spare herself so easily, returned to her room, looking at the moon in the sky, she was also upset these days, wanting to serve the Turks, protect the family and defend the country, and also worry about whether Tang Changyu was okay, the wind blowing was a little cool, Liuning had no sleep all night, but she didn't know that the war was igniting.

Early in the morning, the sky was not completely bright, Zhao Nan set off with his troops, and after detouring from the small road to Yumen Pass, Li Shimin sent two generals to attack the two weak east and west gates of Yumen Pass at the agreed time, Tang Changyu led his troops and horses to attack the main gate of Yumen Pass, wanting to attack from all sides, the horn sounded, and the sound of fighting resounded in the sky.

The Turkic camp was in a mess, only those soldiers on duty at night were awake, and they could only resist in a hurry, and they were close to each other, ** The troops saw that the Turkic soldiers were not ready to resist, and they entered the pass all the way to kill a bloody road, ** morale was greatly boosted, Jingli hurriedly arranged for the soldiers to go to the main gate and the east and west gates to guard the gate in three ways.

But last night's celebration made many soldiers drunk, no one thought that the ** who had avoided the battle for days would raid Yumen Pass in the early morning, many people died in Huangquan when they were asleep, and some were killed by a knife before they had time to put on their armor, and the bloody wind and rain in Yumen Pass, Jingli saw that this pass could not be saved, and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

Just when Jingli's army retreated from the back door, Zhao Nan led a large number of men and horses to fight, and Jingli's army just collided, so they began to fight, and the fight was hot, the encirclement of ** shrank inward step by step, and the soldiers of the remnants of the army were surrounded by the encirclement, but they loyally surrounded Jingli and Liuning Liubin inside to protect them.

Jingli saw that the battle was stalemate, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory or defeat for a while, and ordered Liubin Liuning to lead the remnants of the army to retreat first, at this time, the battle situation came from the front again, the east and west gates have been breached, Yumen Pass was completely occupied, Jingli and the three were in a situation of embattlement, Liuning Liubin was by no means a ruthless and unrighteous person, and could not bear to leave Jingli alone to fight with **.

The battle situation was chaotic, Jingli had been slashed and stabbed, bleeding nonstop, Liuning Liubin held Brother Wang, bent on fighting a way out, and withdrew to the back door.

Jingli was a little physically exhausted, panting and said: "My stupid sister, you are kind enough to let others live, but now in less than a day, he will fight back and force us to a dead end, I am not worth it for you." ”

Liuning had mixed feelings in her heart at the moment, she didn't believe that Tang Changyu would lead the army to take their lives here, but the encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, as if they couldn't escape, Liuning said apologetically: "Brother Wang, don't say it anymore, you are injured, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Turks, with me here today, I will do my best to not let us die here." ”

The three of them just looked at the road ahead, and suddenly found that it was strange, they seemed to have gradually killed the encirclement of **, to be precise, the ** people were decreasing, the original ** around was killed, but there was no ** surrounding the front and the follow-up, and several Tang generals led by them were also gone, they approached the back door of the Yumen Pass with difficulty, the encirclement was gone, under the blue sky and white sun, ** had just captured the Yumen Pass, and the gate was wide open, which made people inevitably suspect that there was fraud in it.

The three of them also hesitated, and Liubin said: "Now if we don't go out of the gate and wait for the Tang General to find out about us, we will definitely die, if there is an ambush, we can't rush out and kill it, we will die, we can't sit still, it's better to fight." ”
