Chapter 578: Be good at doing it

A secret from twenty years ago was sealed in the iron tube. This secret came from the twilight old Zhen in the old house of Li's family. Even Li Xian was a little puzzled. How could Li Yuan, a person like Lao Zhen, who knew too many secrets, let him survive? Li Xian thought about it for a long time but didn't get an answer, so he guessed that perhaps Li Yuan was just trying to share the depression in his heart.

Li Xian felt that there was such a secret, just like the secret he had always hidden in his heart. Who could he tell him? He said that he had come from later generations, who believed it? But if you keep something in your heart for too long, people will feel uncomfortable. You always want to find someone to share this secret. Maybe Li Yuan left Lao Zhen just to remember that memory?

Li Xian never rushes to think about the problem that he can't figure it out. This is meaningless. Instead of having this time to consider these, it is better to consider the next direction.

Li Xian ordered Yu Wenshi and his troops to advance south. Lai Yuan, the son of Lai Huer, was now in Yanyun Village. Lai Huer died at Yu Wenshi's hands. He led his troops to Yanyun Village. Li Xian valued him quite a lot. He brought hundreds of warships to the south bank of the Yellow River, and 10,000 elite archers of the navy have also been added to Yu Wenshi and his army. Those who do not understand the war may have a number of understanding of the ten thousand archers, but only those who have experienced the war know how terrifying it is to shoot ten thousand arrows at once.

Originally, because of his father's affairs, he had a deep hatred with the people of the Yuwen family. But he could not vent his hatred for Yuwen and him. Yuwen and he turned to Yuwen and asked for help when Li Mi was defeated. Yuwen and Yuwen and remained silent, which showed their attitude. Lai Yuan knew that his father's death was indeed not related to Yuwen and Yuwen and he was not a reckless man, so there was no hostility between the two.

The people of the Second Division of the Military Accounting Office and the military have been working together to develop firearms. Li Xian is not a god. He is just an ordinary person with some modern knowledge. He cannot make cannons, let alone airplanes, and even firearms cannot be made. The only thing he can do is to configure more powerful gunpowder. As for how this gunpowder releases its power, it depends on the craftsmen of the Second Division.

If there is another place in the Military Audit Office that does not make the military alert or even hate, then it is the Second Division. The Second Division provides weapons, equipment, and even tactical support to the military, which are all necessary for the military. The ones directly equipped the latest firearms of the Second Division are Yu Wenshi and his men, as well as Xu Shiji's Qilu Camp and the Fire Camp in the Five Elements Camp.

The so-called latest firearm is not a musket, nor a cannon. It is just a pack of explosives suitable for siege. Of course, this explosive will never collapse the tall and majestic city wall of the Dongdu, but it is not impossible to blow up the city gate after rushing to the city.

Yu Wenshi led his army south to compete with Li Shimin's men for the Eastern Capital.

Wang Shichong is just a supporting role of the times. Dongdu City is the biggest supporter of his supporting role. Because the city defense is too strong, Dongdu still stands tall after a war. Such a high city wall and the ladder are too long, it will become trembling, and it is extremely inconvenient for soldiers to climb. Not to mention building such a tall siege tower. As for the city gate, no one has ever knocked the city gate open.

The reason why Wang Shichong sent Duan Da to lead his army north was that he was worried that Li Xian's Yan Yun army would be connected with Li Shimin's Tang army. But he could not guess that Li Xian had no intention of joining forces with Li Shimin. His desire for Li Xian for the Dongdu was no less than that of Li Yuan. What Yanyun Village lacked now was a heroic city. In the past, it was because he was not sure that Li Mi threw hundreds of thousands of corpses outside the Dongdu City and did not kill Dongdu. After that, whoever attacked Dongdu was kowtowed and bleeding.

But this does not mean that Li Xian doesn't want to fight. From beginning to end, Li Xian also hopes that Yanyun Village can have a majestic city to be the foundation. Although Juyeze is good, it doesn't seem grand enough. Only by occupying a big city like Dongdu can Yanyun Village show its current status.

Only by occupying the Eastern Capital would the Li Tang Dynasty be even more afraid. If Yanyun Village inserts the red military flag on the wall of the Eastern Capital, it would be like a thorn inserted into Li Yuan's heart.

What Li Xian had to do was not just to stab Li Yuan in his heart. Of course, if the stab was ruthless enough, there was no need to stab him again.

After defeating Duan Da's men, Li Xian ordered a battalion of troops to guard the army in Li Yang. Pei Xingyan led the Fire Camp to join forces and the army pressed south. At the same time, Li Xian's personal guard camp and Xiong Kuohai's Modao Camp have also been transferred. What he wants to do next is not Yin Li Shimin, but to compete with the Li Tang Dynasty for the Eastern Capital.

Li Shimin suffered a loss. The three thousand elite cavalry and Duan Da's eight thousand cavalry fought fiercely for a while. Although he would not be defeated, it was quite difficult to encounter his soldiers suddenly. In addition, Cheng Zhijie and Luo Shixin led their troops to withdraw and were surrounded by Luan Ping and more than 3,000 cavalrymen. More than 1,000 elite cavalry in the Tiger Camp were killed and injured and killed from the siege. The injured Yuchi Gong still showed his power to stab Luan Ping with a spear, but Li Shimin was still very distressed after so many elite subordinates died and injured.

Li Shimin retreated south in a little embarrassed manner. Duan Da, who knew that his infantry had been wiped out, understood that if he wanted to escape from the crime in front of Wang Shichong, capturing or killing Li Shimin alive was the only way. So he led more than 5,000 cavalry to chase and kill him, biting behind Li Shimin, completely in a state of stamina.

The two armies fought along the way. When Li Shimin returned to the Tang army camp with great difficulty, there were only less than 600 soldiers left in the Tiger Camp, and Duan Da's Zheng army cavalry also lost nearly 5,000. Outside the Tang army camp, Duan Da could only give up, worried that Li Shimin would take revenge, so he immediately fled to the east capital. Li Shimin, who had been frustrated all the way, could he go back and mobilized cavalry to let Wang Xuba and Duan Zhixuan lead 5,000 elite cavalry to chase them all the way.

The positions of the two sides were exchanged, and Duan Dazhi was more than twice as embarrassed as Li Shimin.

His three thousand cavalrymen ran and fought, and before he arrived in Dongdu, there were less than three hundred people.

When he saw a camp appearing outside the Eastern Capital, he immediately became desperate.

On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, because of the small entry this year, there is no New Year's Eve, and the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is thirty, so there are only four days left before the New Year. The Leize Camp and the Navy of Yanyun Army had a total of more than 60,000 troops, more than 30,000 troops in Wu Tianxi Liehuo Camp, more than 30,000 people in Wu Yunzhao Rui Jin Camp, and Li Xian's personal guard camp surrounded Dongdu, Duan Da had no chance to enter the city.

...

...

Wang Shichong asked Duan Da to lead 50,000 troops to resist Yanyun's army, and personally led more than 70,000 troops to resist the Li Tang army. However, he was defeated by Li Jing's army outside the Dongdu City. The main forces of the Zheng army were all defeated. Li Jing took the opportunity to lead the army to advance to the Dongdu City. Wang Shichong retreated in a panic and sent people to Dou Jiande, Hebei for help. Just when Li Jing's 150,000 troops were about to arrive outside the Dongdu City, they were blocked by a group of people killed by the slanted assassin. It was Yuwen Shi and Lei Ze Camp.

Li Jing was about to surround Dongdu City but was blocked. The dissatisfaction and anger in his heart were conceivable. However, because the relationship between Yanyun Village and the Tang Empire was really ambiguous, Li Jing did not dare to attack directly. Besides, Yuwen Shi and was a famous general of the world. If he only sticks to the defense line, he would have suffered heavy losses even if he breaks through. In just a few days after Li Shimin returned, Yan Yun's army actually increased troops one after another, blocking Dongdu City completely behind him, and seemed to be a helper for Wang Shichong.

Li Jing sent someone to question Yu Wenshiji. The envoys of the Tang Dynasty entered the Yanyun Army camp to find Yu Wenshiji. They questioned Yu Wenshiji in the tone of the Great Marshal of the East Expedition of Qin Li Shimin, King of Qin, asking Yu Wenshiji why he blocked the Tang Dynasty's army in the east Expedition. Yu Wenshiji's mouth was like a poisonous snake, and he asked the envoy speechlessly in just a few words.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked my lord to hunt down the Dongdu to suppress Wang Shichong. Why didn't the emperor tell His Highness the King of Qin? If the King of Qin knows, then you come and ask me what I did? Did my Yanyun Village make a mistake in sending troops? If this happens, I think it's your master, King of Qin, in front of the King of Yan, and it's hard to explain."

Such shameless words made the envoy of the Tang Dynasty unable to argue. He had to take these words back to Li Jing to report. If Li Jing was the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition this time, he would have ordered the army to fight. But he was not. The King of Qin Li Shimin was the King of Qin. He was just the chief of the marshal. Although he had great power, he did not dare to easily provoke the battle with Yanyun Village.

He is Li Shimin's confidant, and he naturally knew about Li Xian's life experience. It is precisely because of this that he felt helpless. A 150,000 army stationed here, and he could already see the majestic Eastern Capital from afar but couldn't send troops. Fortunately, the King of Qin returned safely, so the King of Qin should worry about this worrying thing.

Yanyun's army gathered in the Eastern Capital in more than 100,000, which was comparable to the Li Tang army. In order to form such a stalemate, Li Xian even mobilized most of the troops led by Xu Shiji and took the initiative to win against the Eastern Capital. Not to mention Li Jing or Li Shimin, even if Li Yuan came, he would have a headache.

But at this moment, Li Huining came.

Seeing that both sides were at odds, Li Huining knew that Li Shimin's cold and gloomy nature was afraid that he would order an attack, so she went to the Tang army camp to find Li Shimin and said Li Yuan's words to him. Li Shimin was frustrated and heard that the emperor wanted to explain the matter to Li Xian, and he felt even more upset. His handle on killing Changsun Shunde was in Li Xian's hands. How could he rest assured? Once Li Xian's identity was determined by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he would undoubtedly be forced into a desperate situation.

What Li Xian wanted to force him was not just this move. Even Li Shimin never thought that he would be forced to take the most direct and bloody road by him. Of course, this was the next thing.

Li Huining looked at Li Shimin with an extremely ugly face, and sighed softly at the anger in the shock on his face.

"Father thought you knew it."

Li Huining looked at him and said.

It was not easy for Li Huining to be calm and indifferent to Li Shimin. After all, when Li Shimin came up with the idea of ​​the enemy's way to defeat the enemy was not very bright, and he might have put her, his own sister to death. In fact, if Li Xian's cavalry had not rescued in time, Ashinaduo's wolf riding came quickly enough that Ashinaduo would not have been able to resist the attack of nearly 200,000 wolf riders of Ashina's Elifo.

"I know, I just didn't expect my father to be so stupid!"

Li Shimin stood up suddenly and said angrily: "Is this a glorious thing? If it is spread out, the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, the majesty of our Li family royal family will be ridiculed! My father is indeed old, otherwise how could he do such a confused thing?"

"Shut up!"

Li Huining's face turned cold and said, "How can my father decide? Do you still need to ask you clearly?"

"elder sister……"

Li Huining's scolding woke up, Li Shimin sat down on the chair with a little depressed look and said, "My father really considered this matter a little inappropriate. Not to mention that Li Xian's identity is suspicious, it's really me... Brother, this matter involves the face of the royal family and the national system, and it is not something that can be said so hasty. In my opinion, my sister might as well go back to Chang'an first, and I will persuade my father when I go back after the war is over."

“I said it”

Li Huining stood up and looked at Li Shimin word by word, "I came here just to tell you so that you would not do anything that would make your father angry. Have you forgotten what his father said? It is the will! Since it is the will, how can you take it back? Or do you think... you have the capital to let the emperor take back the imperial edict?"

These cold questions made Li Shimin sweat.

She walked slowly out and stopped when she reached the door and said, "Shimin, although I know what you are thinking, I still force myself to think that you are really considering the Tang Dynasty and father and son, so please don't force me anymore. If I can't even persuade myself, I'm afraid that the Li family will not be tolerant of Anzhi... but you. Brother is generous, I am casual, and I let you make trouble for my father, but if you even disobey your father's words, you can even ignore your father's decision. If my father no longer allows you to do things, what else do you have?"

"I'd like to do it myself, and my father has made a decision on his own."

Li Huining's last sentence before leaving made Li Shimin stiffen on the spot, and then his body trembled and his anger was on the verge of an outbreak.

"If you think you have the ability to try breaking that taboo now, then you can try it, but what I want to tell you is that An Zhi will never mind you going to try it, he even wants to try it more than you."
