The soldier pushed Wu Erlang behind his back, and he staggered in slightly, but when he raised his eyes to look, he saw a pair of military information charts hanging in the tent, and a burly young man about 245 years old was standing on one side with his arms crossed, dressed in the red official robe of Changshi, his eyes were blazing, and his posture was heroic.

Wu Erlang was born in everyone, and he didn't know how many five-grade officials he had seen in his life, but he had to bow his head under the "eaves," but in the end he still gave his hand first, and politely called him "...... long history is polite"

Li Shimin politely greeted: "Wu Langjun is polite. ”

Then he got straight to the point and said: "You came here this time, do you have any important news that you need to tell Li Qiao?" ”

Wu Erlang was shocked.

He didn't even know the other party's name, but he knew exactly who he was, why he came, and who he was coming to see......

You know, for the sake of secrecy, even to his fellow servants, he didn't say anything!

Wu Erlang suspected that this was the other party's intention to be tempted, so he pretended to be at a loss and said in reverse: "Why do you say this? Why can't I understand it......"

Li Shimin sneered, and his expression was calm: "Listen, I am Li Qiao's brother and Governor of Texas Shi Li Changsheng!" The military situation is urgent, I don't have so much time to grind my teeth with you, I count to three, explain your intentions clearly, and if you dare to pass the buck, I will immediately send you out to light the sky lantern! ”

Wu Erlang was shocked.

For a noble son who was born in a wealthy and gentle country and was accustomed to soft talk, this kind of behavior was really rude.

And the few words that Fang Fang said, whether it was Li Changsheng, or Li Qiao was Li Changsheng's younger brother, and even the creepy light of the sky lantern at the end, all of them greatly broke through Wu Erlang's fixed cognition.

He was still surprised by this, and Li Shimin had already spoken out murderously: "Three, two, ......."

As soon as Wu Erlang saw his appearance, he knew that he was a master who did what he said, and that he had a cold and hard bearing around him, and that Huo Tu'er and Li Qiao were drawn out of the same mold, and if they really wanted to be brothers, no one could doubt it.

At this juncture, those who can lead the army to come to the aid are better than brothers, if not brothers.

Wu Erlang held back the sweat in his head and hurriedly said, "Mistake, misunderstanding......

Li Shimin's sharp eyebrows raised upward: "Huh?!" ”

Wu Erlang didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and told him his intentions as he was.

He originally thought that anyone in the officialdom should be dumbfounded after hearing this kind of royal secret, at least for a quarter of an hour, but he didn't expect Li Changsheng to not even blink his eyelids after hearing it, but asked with a calm expression: "That's all?" ”

For a moment, Wu Erlang couldn't tell whether he didn't understand the twists and turns or if he was really born with a strong heart.

He stammered, "This, isn't that jaw-dropping enough?" ”

Li Shimin looked at him for a moment but did not speak.

Wu Erlang was a little unsure whether he had seen it wrong just now, and how could he feel that a touch of contempt seemed to flash in the eyes of the other party......

Liu Che snorted and said disdainfully: "How can a man who has experienced a lion look down on a wild dog?" This little sesame gossip doesn't impress us anymore, so open your eyes and see the world! ”

He said: "Do you know the weight of a human skin? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and looked over.

Liu Che: "Do you know how exciting it is for the crown prince's son to have an affair with his little wife in front of his father's hospital bed?" ”

Li Shimin slowly punched a "? ”。

Liu Che: "Do you know that some ×× are strong enough to pull the wheels?" ”

Ying Zheng slowly drew his sword.

Liu Che was about to say more, and someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

He turned his head and saw Li Yuanda looking at him and asked in a low voice: "Do you know that someone can cut an enemy into pieces in a situation of extreme anger?" ”

Liu Che: "......"

Liu Che: "............"

Li Shimin pretended not to hear the screams of the children in the space, clasped his hands to his chest, looked dangerously, and looked down at Wu Erlang: "Wu Langjun, you didn't lie to me, right?" ”

Wu Erlang was seen by him and his legs were weak: "I really didn't lie to you, that's all!" ”

Li Shimin let out an "oh" sound, and then put on a smiling face: "You're not scared, are you?" I was kidding you! ”

After speaking, he pulled Wu Erlang to the side seat with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are Li Qiao's brother-in-law, I am Li Qiao's brother, we are serious relatives, come here to sit - ouch, you are sweating with your hands." ”

Wu Erlang's full head of "??? He was half-pushed and half-pulled by Li Shimin and brought to the seat to sit down, and while he was stunned by his attitude of being respectful to the front, his previous thoughts shook again.

Where are these two people alike?

Li Qiao was like a wild wolf, cold from head to toe, and did not smile, as for Li Changshi, who claimed to be Li Qiao's brother......

It's really talking about people and talking nonsense.

It's weirdly thick-skinned.

Wu Erlang was thinking so much about his kung fu in his heart, and someone stuffed an inferior porcelain cup in his hand, wrapped in inferior tea of the same quality, Li Shimin patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and said: "Just like your own family, you're welcome!" ”

Then he shouted: "Come on, beat the drum and pass the troops!" ”

Wu Erlang shook on the spot, and then replied calmly: "...... Ah, good. ”

……

When Li Qiao first gave the order to light the beacon fire, he was still sure in his heart, and after waiting for two days and still there was no sign of reinforcements, he couldn't help but beat the drums.

What went wrong?

He was smart, but he couldn't predict that things would be thousands of miles away.

The adjutant general had just experienced a battle to attack and defend the city gate, and the blood on his armor had not disappeared, but when he saw him look like this, he comforted: "Since we have been on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud is a common thing, and the general has done his best, so let the rest be left to the fate of heaven!" ”

Li Qiao was not comforted.

What happened when everything went wrong and was prepared before the trip?

Is it that the news has not been spread?

Wrong.

He saw with his own eyes that the beacon fire was lit in Pingcheng, and the west of Pingcheng was all within the control of the national dynasty, and there was no reason for failure.

To put it this way......

He thought, is there something wrong with the capital?

Wu Cuicui......

Li Qiao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really couldn't repay his trust in this wife.

……

Wu Erlang was politely invited to rest in the partial tent, but his heart had already flown to Shunzhou, and he tossed and turned at night.

After being so entangled and restless all night, a Texas sergeant brought a man who made him jaw-dropping.

"Cuicui?!"

Wu Erlang jumped up from his seat in shock: "Why are you here?" Over there—"

Wu Cuicui dressed as a man, followed by several servants, and after seeing her brother, she couldn't wait to rush forward: "Have you seen Li Qiao?" Did you tell him the news?! ”

Wu Erlang was speechless and shook his head gloomily: "When I came here, it was already late, but I met Li Changshi by accident......

And he told her what was going on.

Wu Cuicui listened to it and was full of surprise - when did Li Qiao have another brother?

This Li Changsheng, when she was at the King of Wei in the past, she had vaguely heard that when she reconciled with Li Tianrong that day, Princess Wei persuaded her, saying that Yu Yingying had been married off, and the other party was this Li Changsheng......

Wu Cuicui was confused.

Wu Erlang didn't know about these entanglements in his sister's heart, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you come here?" Has there been any change in accompaniment? ”

Wu Cuicui frowned, and whispered to him all the changes in the capital during this period of time.

Wu Erlang had just sat down, and stood up again after hearing this: "Confused, Li Qiao can't be saved, how can the Wu family be alone after that?" Sooner or later, sooner or later! ”

Wu Cuicui bowed her head and was silent.

When Wu Erlang saw this, he asked her again: "In that case, what are you doing here?" ”

Wu Cuicui said in a low voice: "I have failed his trust, I can't live up to him, if he really wants to be short-lived, how can I survive in the world?" ”

Wu Erlang's heart trembled, and he looked at her in amazement, speechless for a long time.

My sister's choice tried to preserve the people who could be preserved, but she couldn't save herself.

Let out a long sigh.

He stretched out his arms and hugged Wu Cuicui, and said again: "Confused! ”

……

Another day of hard work ended, and at dusk, the rebels besieging the city retreated from exhaustion.

Li Qiao was also close to exhaustion.

He is not an iron-clad man, and he is rushing to the front with a straight lead, how can he not be tired?

However, as a commander-in-chief, he is responsible for all the soldiers.

He leaned against the wall of the tower and gasped silently, thinking that with the men and food and grass in the city at present, he would be able to hold out for a few days, while the women who still had the strength in the city rolled up their sleeves and silently came forward to drag away the mountains of corpses.

Others drew water from the city and washed away the blood and flesh on the ground.

On a hot summer day, the corpses are piled up in one place for a long time, and they will soon decompose, and if they are not good, they will cause epidemics, and the blood will splash on the ground, and the heat will attract mosquitoes, and even the soldiers will slip and fall because of excessive viscosity......

At first, these things were done by the soldiers, but as many people were killed and wounded day by day, the women of the city took over the work in silence.

The adjutant general handed over a bowl of hot porridge, and Li Qiao took it and took a sip, his dry throat moved with some difficulty, and he quickly drank it in three or two sips, and was about to go to inspect the damage in various parts of the city, but suddenly stopped.

His ears moved imperceptibly.

"Did you hear ......?"

The lieutenant general looked puzzled.

Li Qiao turned around suddenly, his eyes were clear: "There is the sound of horses' hooves!" ”

The adjutant general then turned to look, but saw that the western sun had completely set, the twilight was surging, and there was no object to distinguish in the distance.

Li Qiao didn't have the heart to answer for him, held on to the city wall, and muttered excitedly: "Who could it be?" It won't be the rebels, they won't come from that direction ......"

And he said, "Is it my previous hand?" No, if they could come, they would have come a long time ago......"
