Chapter 399 The Emperor's Dread

Li Shimin is blind.

A blind left eye.

When he was sent back to Xincheng, Li Yuan saw his empty left eye socket crying and was extremely sad. This second son had eye disease and sought medical treatment for several years. He finally got the secret recipe of the abbot from the abbot at Dahai Temple in Xingyang. He went through a lot of hardships to cure it.

When I came to Liaodong, something happened again, and it was even worse now, and the entire left eyeball was gone.

Li Shimin took the gauze from his father and wrapped the wounded eyes again. He was very calm, but instead reached out to comfort his father, "Dad, it's okay, it's just blind one eye, no left eye, and his son has his right eye. The son is not a loss this time. Although he didn't capture Yang Wanchun, Yang Wanchun was basically wiped out and captured by his son in the end. Yang Wanchun only escaped more than ten cavalry, and the more than ten Goguryeo people who escaped from the city were basically driven back by his son."

"Not a loss."

He was determined to chase Yang Wanchun at that time, but he didn't expect that the guy would have one arm and even hid a crossbow. He was about to slap his horse and stab the guy to death. Who knew that he turned around and shot him with a crossbow. He never expected that he would catch him off guard and hit the left eye with a crossbow.

Fortunately, because Yang Wanchun has one-armed crossbows, all of his crossbows are specially made of one-handed crossbows. They are not very powerful and the crossbow arrows are shorter. Therefore, although they are in the crossbow in the left eye, they have no worries about their lives.

Li Shimin didn't remember how he got the courage at that time, so he immediately pulled out the crossbow arrow, and pulled out the crossbow nail with his eyes. He directly ate the bloody left eye and swallowed it.

Originally, he wanted to continue chasing and must capture Yang Wanchun. However, after swallowing his left eye, his left eye was bleeding violently, and his head was so painful that he could not pursue him. If his personal soldiers had not been chasing him in time, let alone chasing him, maybe Yang Wanchun would have shot him back and chopped his head.

"Put out all the personal soldiers around Erlang and cut them down!"

Li Yuan roared angrily.

Li Shimin and Li Xiuning both pleaded for the personal soldiers. After begging for a long time, Li Yuan changed to order the personal soldiers to be beaten with one hundred military sticks.

"Erlang, Dad will definitely find the best doctor to treat your eyes."

Li Shimin smiled terrified, and he was swallowed by his left eyeball. What can the doctor do if he is better?

After hearing the news, Luo Yi came to take a look and comforted Li Yuan and his son.

After he returned, he couldn't help but say to the people around him, "I used to see Li Shimin's face, which was extremely wealthy and not something in the pool, but this kind of wealth is not something that ordinary people can bear. Looking at his previous conversation, this kid is too smart. This is not a good thing. People with this face and talent often die short-lived. This time I just blinded my eyes and were quite lucky."

"But after blinding the left eye, this face was completely destroyed. His fate changed drastically. Although he was still rich and noble, he was not as rich as before, and he was also full of evil spirits. I am afraid that this hurdle will not be the only way back in the future."

"I didn't expect the general to look at his face."

"Hahaha, that's right, but I'm not very proficient, it's just that I know a little about Li Shimin's destiny."

By the Liao River, Liuhe City.

Yang Guang was looking through the good news sent by Li Yuan and Luo Yi.

"In three days, we broke the new city and killed more than 15,000 stubborn soldiers......"

"One hundred and twenty-seven soldiers were killed in our army, three hundred and fifty-two people were injured, more than five hundred civilians were injured, and more than one thousand prisoners were injured."

Looking at the good news, Yang Guang was silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, but the military situation on the front line, are you in trouble again?"

"No, it's a good news."

"Good news? Then why does Your Majesty seem to be unhappy?" Empress Xiao brought a bowl of freshly stewed bird's nest soup to the emperor.

Yang Guang sighed.

"Li Yuan had issued a military order to me before, borrowed Luo Yi to build a new city. I drew 70,000 troops from both armies and gave him another month to capture the new city within a specified period. But now a good news came, and Li Yuan and Luo Yi broke the new city in just three days. Three days, and only a few hundred casualties were killed and killed, but more than 15,000 defenders were killed."

"There may be moisture in it." Queen Xiao reminded.

How could Yang Guang not know that there would be a little moisture in the generals' good news? But no matter how much oil and fire are added, the new city was finally defeated in three days. No matter how much water is added, the Sui army only suffered a few hundred casualties, which is impossible to add to the reduction.

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have ignored Li Yuan's military talent before, and now it seems that this talent is still very big.

"This mother-in-law's face is really hidden very deeply."

Empress Xiao suddenly guessed her husband's thoughts, "According to me, although Li Yuan was the leader of the new city, it must have been Luo Yi's contribution. After all, Luo Yi is a member of the fierce battle and the reputation of being able to fight has long been there. Otherwise, Li Yuan would not have specially asked His Majesty to dismiss Luo Yi to him as a deputy general to create the new city."

"After that being said, Li Yuan still exceeded my expectations."

Two days later, news came again, saying that Li Yuan's son Li Shimin pursued Yang Wanchun, the lord of Xincheng City. Although he defeated Yang Wanchun, he was blinded by the arrow in his left eye.

"Li Yuan's second son is only fifteen years old, right?"

"Yes, Li Yuan wanted to let His Majesty Li Erlang Shang's pearl in his hand before, Princess Izumo."

Yang Guang said lightly, "It's good if you're blind. Now I don't have to think about any reason to reject him. My pearl in my hand can't marry a blind man. Li Dalang's reputation was very famous outside, and I really thought it was too great, but I asked him to be the magistrate of Tongding County. As a result, I could see it all at once. But I was just a playboy who was defeated by gold and jade, and was not much better than Yu Wen and brothers."

"It's really unexpected that Li Erlang can lead troops to defeat the enemy at the age of fifteen. If he is not blind, I still have to worry. Now it's okay."

On that day, the emperor issued an order to establish Xuanzi County with Xincheng, Xuanzi, Cangyan, Nansu and other cities, and Li Yuan was appointed as the prefect of Xuantu County.

Wei Wensheng took over the command of the first army in the left of the Imperial Camp and ordered him to lead his troops to attack Gaimu City.

Luo Yi led the right six troops to attack Fuyu City.

The emperor turned around and took away Li Yuan's position as a general, and all the 70,000 soldiers and horses under him were taken away. Li Yuan's position as a young supervisor in the palace was also removed. Now he is only the prefect of Xuantu County. He has just made a great contribution and has not been promoted but has been surrendered.

The imperial edict was passed to the new city, and Li Yuan silently accepted the edict.

"Congratulations to Duke Tang, you have been promoted to the second-rank Zuo Guanglu Dafu."
