Chapter 253 An Uneasy New Year
Yang You spent a morning and finally dealt with the government affairs that had been backlogged for more than half a month.
Just after noon, the bell of Daxing Palace rang. Yang You stretched out and put down the peacock feather in his hand. He saw the officials under the hall.
"The tide is gone!" Yang You shouted directly.
"I'm going to leave!" The ministers saluted and the bell rang, which means that the court meeting for the 13th year of Daye has ended.
The New Year is coming.
In the city of Daxing, the festive atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a lot of joy everywhere.
Fengyi County won a great victory! He defeated Li Yuan, and the dark clouds of war accumulated in Guanzhong were swept away, without any worries about war. From high-ranking officials and nobles to civilians, they all smiled.
Whether it is a high gate or a thatched cottage or a fence wall, each family is full of laughter and joy, and is stable and harmonious. In this chaotic world, they are lucky to have such a stable place.
However, this luck is all thanks to one person, that is His Highness, King Dai. If Yang You were not too young, many people would probably have built a temple for His Highness, King Dai.
When everyone prays for the new year, they will thank His Highness Niang, and everyone has the confidence to look forward to a better future year.
However, in the East Palace, there was also laughter and joy. Apple Paradise was open again. There was a sea of ice and snow in the paradise, and there were a dazzling array of ice sculptures. Yang Jier once again enjoyed her carefree childhood, laughter and joy. Concubine Wei, who was standing beside her, looked at her quiet and smiled from time to time.
Yang You sat aside with a military book in his hand. He wanted to strengthen his strength and continue to protect this warm home.
"Yang You, come quickly, let's play Cuju!" Yang Ji'er shouted.
"Yu'er. Stop watching, take a break!" Wei Fei advised.
"Here you come!"
Yang You followed suit and put down Sun Tzu's art of war in his hand and walked over.
Of course, the winner is qualified to enjoy it, but the loser tastes the pain alone.
……………………
Outside Taiyuan City.
The war still did not stop, with shouts of killing sounds. The Tang army was attacking under the city, and Liu Wuzhou's army defended on the city.
Li Shimin's face was ferocious, and he looked at the towering Taiyuan City in front of him. This was originally their city. The tall city wall was originally the guardian of the Tang army, but now it has become the nightmare of the Tang army.
"Continue to rush!"
Li Shimin shouted loudly and pointed the sword in his hand forward.
In an instant, a group of Tang soldiers carried a ladder and attacked Taiyuan City.
Taiyuan's city walls are high and the city is hard, easy to defend but difficult to attack. Liu Wuzhou's soldiers on the city wall are condescending, and based on the advantages of the city, they have the upper hand and kill and injure the Tang army in large numbers.
However, the Tang army's offensive was fierce and even attacked the city wall several times. If Yuchi Jingde had not been prepared, he would have fallen in Taiyuan City at this moment.
"Kill me!" Yuchi Jingde's face was tense and he shouted loudly.
The horse spear in his hand hit out loud, and a horse spear knocked a Tang army soldier away.
The Tang soldiers screamed and fell from the city wall, and fell to the ground with a bang, immediately dead.
Yuchi Jingde breathed a sigh of relief. These Tang troops were so difficult to deal with. They were all brave and fearless, which was completely different from what they had encountered before.
"General is mighty." Liu Jun soldier shouted.
Yuchi Jingde showed a proud expression, and force has always been his most proud part.
"Kill! Drive the Tang army back!" Yuchi Jingde shouted.
"kill!"
Liu Jun soldiers shouted.
The momentum was shocked, and the Tang army's offensive was suppressed again and was driven down from the city.
Li Shimin looked at the tall and dark general on the city wall and knew that it was Yuchi Jingde, the general under Song Jingang, who had always been known for his bravery in Mayi.
Li Shimin sighed in his heart. Why didn’t his subordinates have such a brave general? If he had been so powerful, the capture of the commander might have been successful.
Li Shimin shook his head and threw this idea out of his mind. It was useless to complain about himself before. The most important thing now is to regain Taiyuan City.
"Second brother, our army has suffered heavy casualties. If we continue to fight, we may lose our place." Li Yuanji said heartbrokenly.
These soldiers were all his subordinates, but after Li Shimin came with Li Yuan's order, he directly took away all his military power. He has now become a commander-in-law.
"Hmph!" Li Shimin glared at Li Yuanji, and a sharp murderous intent emerged. If Li Yuanji had not been timid as a mouse and had automatically abandoned the city and fled, with the defense of Taiyuan City, Liu Wuzhou would not have been able to defeat Taiyuan in a short period of time, no matter how many troops were.
"Even if you all die in battle, you must conquer Taiyuan, otherwise our whole family will be waiting to confiscate the family and destroy the clan! If you hadn't escaped privately, how could we end up in this situation!" Li Shimin roared at Li Yuanji.
Now there are only a few cities left in Taiyuan, which are being maintained in a difficult situation, but those ordinary cities cannot resist the soldiers of Daxing City.
Taiyuan is their foundation. If they lose Taiyuan, they will lose the capital to fight for the world, and their family will also face a catastrophe. Therefore, Taiyuan must be recaptured. Even if all these soldiers are killed in battle, they will still be recaptured.
Feeling Li Shimin's anger, Li Yuanji couldn't help but shrink his head, not daring to speak, and his lowered face was full of resentment.
Li Shimin is only in his twenties after all. After Gaojiazhen was defeated, he could not vent his anger. Now seeing Li Yuanji finally couldn't help but vent.
"Hmph! You were defeated and lost soldiers and generals, and only 45,000 soldiers and horses came back. I abandoned Taiyuan City and saved all the soldiers and horses. Now you, Li Shimin, have actually pushed all the blame for the defeat on me." Li Yuanji felt resentful.
The deep estrangement between brothers is already buried in my heart.
Inside Taiyuan City.
Liu Wuzhou was extremely proud of sitting in the position of prefect. He had long been determined to go south, but now he finally saw a good opportunity.
Just as the Daxing army was fighting with the Tang army and Li Yuan, Liu Wuzhou seized the opportunity keenly and took the heavy troops to attack Taiyuan City. He originally thought there would be another hard battle, but he didn't know that Li Yuanji's stupid boy actually abandoned the city and fled, allowing him to easily get the important town of Taiyuan.
Thinking of the mountains of money and grain piled up in Taiyuan City, Liu Wuzhou felt passionate. With Taiyuan City as his foundation, his kingly turbulent career finally improved.
The reason why Li Yuan was able to get the support of the Turks was not because the Turks wanted Li Yuan to attack Guanzhong and restrain the troops of the Sui Dynasty. However, now that Li Yuan has been defeated, he no longer has the value of exploitation.
As long as he, Liu Wuzhou, took over Li Yuan's territory and continued to attack Daxing City, the Turks would never blame him for a loss of value. If the success and defeated the enemy, the world would be so cruel.
As for whether he could beat Daxing City, Liu Wuzhou couldn't help but sneer. It is said that the little prince of Daxing City is younger than Li Yuanji. When his army arrived, the little prince of Daxing City was still fleeing.
As soon as Liu Wuzhou conquered Taiyuan, Li Shimin rushed back in a hurry and wanted to retake Taiyuan City. Now Taiyuan City has been blocked. Liu Wuzhou has not yet obtained the real situation of the battle between the Daxing Army and the Tang Army. If he knew that the Daxing Army was really powerful, he would probably not be so optimistic.
"Come!" Liu Wuzhou shouted.
"General!" a messenger responded.
"What's the situation now!" Liu Wuzhou asked...
"Report to General Yuchi Jingde! General Yuchi Jingde sent someone to report that he had repelled the Tang army's attacks six times. Now the south gate is stable, General Song also reported that the west gate is stable, and there is no abnormality between the east gate and the north gate." The soldiers reported respectfully.
"It's overestimating one's own ability to a group of defeated soldiers and want to attack Taiyuan City!" Liu Wuzhou snorted coldly.
"The general has a divine power. Even if Li Yuan comes here in person, you can't do anything to you, let alone Li Shimin, a young boy." The soldier complimented.
Liu Wuzhou laughed and said proudly: "You kid is very good at speaking. After this battle, I will make you a lieutenant."
"Thank you, General!" The soldier was overjoyed.
Liu Wuzhou patted the soldier on the shoulder and said, "As long as you follow this general to make good contributions, you may be the founding heroes in the future."
The soldiers praised again and flattered them.
"Send orders to guard the city and freeze the Li family's second boy for another night. The army will attack tomorrow and eliminate future troubles." Liu Wuzhou said ruthlessly.
Tomorrow is the Spring Festival. On this special day, Liu Wuzhou wants to use a victory to make a good start for the New Year.
"yes!"
The soldiers took the order to leave.
When the soldiers left, Liu Wuzhou was impatient to return to the back house.
"General!"
A delicate voice sounded.
A gorgeous 28 girl stood by the window and saw Liu Wuzhou's face full of surprise.
This woman is graceful and beautiful, and she looks even more precious. She inadvertently reveals a noble temperament. Her behavior is elegant and quiet. As she looks at her beautiful eyes, she looks at Liu Wuzhou with admiration.
Liu Wuzhou was proud of himself, and looked at the admiration in the beautiful girl's eyes and felt very vain.
This woman was originally a lady from the Wang family in Taiyuan. When Liu Wuzhou captured Taiyuan, the Wang family obediently sent a lot of money and food, and also gave this beautiful woman who loved heroes.
Liu Wuzhou was a vulgar person. He was so happy to admire this lady from a big family. He put Miss Wang into the room that night. Liu Wuzhou enjoyed both spiritual and physical pleasures and soon became addicted to it.
"General, why are you back? But you are back with victory?" Miss Wang's eyes showed a stunning color.
"Of course, that boy Li Shimin attacked the city of Taiyuan six times a day, and was killed and retreated one by one by one by the general." Liu Wuzhou boasted, adding the credit of Yuchi Jingde to himself without any guilt.
"The general is really a great hero. It is a blessing for me to be with the general." Miss Wang said with politeness.
Liu Wuzhou looked at Miss Wang's elegant figure and felt aroused desire. He pulled the beauty into his arms and rushed to the point of his hand.
"Of course you can accompany me. After I pacify the world, I will definitely give you the queen and let your mother serve the world." Liu Wuzhou made a promise, and kept resting in his hands, and quickly broke the beauty's clothes.
After a while, the sound of "jiaochuan" in the backyard continued.
