The sky has not yet sunny.

But a team of envoys came to Huoyicheng.

"I am the special envoy of Emperor Daqin, the Great Qin Emperor, and come to see General Li Er under the order of my emperor."

In the original time and space, after the timber business developed, Samurai joined the army and opened up the joints to become a team leader in the Taiyuan Weifu. Soon after, Li Yuan came to Hedong to serve as an official. Samurai was deliberately making friends, and Li Yuan had a good impression of Samurai, who was rich and powerful. Later, Li Yuan raised an army, and Samurai even took out all his wealth to help the army.

Therefore, after Li Yuan became emperor, Wu Shishi was able to become one of the heroes of Taiyuan, and later became the Duke of the Kingdom. In the end, he married a royal daughter of the Yang family royal family. The Yang family gave birth to three daughters. One of them later entered the palace to become Li Shimin's talent, and even later became Li Zhi's empress, and eventually became the emperor of Wu Zhou.

But now, Li Yuan has never been to Hedong to work. Although he was the prefect of Loufu in his early years, the warrior was still selling wood in Luoyang at that time. Later, the warrior became the leader, but Li Yuan never returned to Hedong. The warrior never met Li Yuan again, but met Wang Junkuo who was running for Luo Cheng, and since then he joined Luo Cheng's camp.

"Where did you come from?" Li Shimin asked.

"I'm from Taiyuan City."

In a word, the Tang army generals and officers in the hall changed their faces.

"Taiyuan?"

"That's right, Taiyuan, when I was from Taiyuan, my emperor was in Jinyang Palace."

Now, Li Shimin's face turned pale.

"Impossible, can Luo Cheng fly? Jingxing is in danger, did he fly over?" The general couldn't help but blame him.

The warrior just smiled, then took out a letter and handed it over.

"What's this?"

"The general can read the letter from his second general Zhao brother Li Yuan."

Li Shimin took the letter and read it once. He had confirmed that it was indeed Li Yuan's letter, and the content of the letter made him feel nervous.

"This must be a forged letter." Li Shimin shook his head and threw the letter aside.

The warrior general didn't care, "I have a gift here, which my emperor specially asked me to send to the general."

A box is served.

Several Tang army soldiers stepped forward to check carefully and finally opened it.

When the box was opened, the people couldn't help but exclaim.

“What is it?”

Li Shimin asked.

He strode down, glanced into the box, and was stunned for a moment.

There were three human heads in the box, soaked in mercury, lifelike.

He recognized the head in the box at a glance.

Isn’t the one in the middle, whose face is old, his uncle Wang Yu? He is also the father-in-law of the eldest brother Jiancheng.

Not long ago, Wang Yu brought his son, nephew, wife and daughter to Chang'an to pay homage to the emperor. Li Yuan also specially granted him the Duke of Wei and the position of governor of Bingzhou. Unexpectedly, when he met again, he was killed.

On both sides of Wang Yu, Wang Renbiao on the left, Wang Renyou on the right, one is his son and the other is his nephew. Two young and handsome men are known as the young masters of the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan, but now they have all been beaten to their heads.

"Luo Chengan dares to do this!"

Li Shimin was furious.

The warrior Wu stood there and said, "My emperor personally conquers Taiyuan. People with knowledge abandon their secrets and turn to the emperor, such as Weize Pass and Jingxing Pass, all surrendered to the city. There are also Duke Xiao from Taiyuan, who also joined the city with Wen clan and others in Taiyuan. However, Wang Yu, Wang of the Wang family of Qi County, led his sons, nephews and relatives to resist stubbornly and did not know the current affairs. In the end, he lost his life, but he also brought more than 20,000 Taiyuan soldiers and civilians to be buried with him. Before his death yesterday, he set fire to half of Taiyuan City. My emperor was furious, so he ordered the entire family of Yi Wang Yu to send these three heads to General Li. Now I am ordering my emperor to send these three heads to General Li. To convey my emperor's words, those who know the current affairs are heroes. The father and son of the Li family surrender as soon as possible. Then he still saves your wealth and honor for the sake of Concubine Li. Otherwise, Wang Yu and his son will be the father and son of the Li family."

Li Shimin drew his sword in his hand.

"Do you dare to kill me? If you dare to kill me today, my emperor will destroy your entire Li family in the future. I am the angel of the Great Qin!"

Li Shimin picked up the samurai coroner's collar with one hand, but in the end he just pushed him away.

"Luo Cheng was also called Xiongjie, but he made such a move to kill the famous gentry. Wouldn't he be afraid that the world would despise him?"

"Is General Li Er also known as benevolent and righteous, but why did he kill the soldiers and civilians in Huoyi City? When the two armies fought, they were all trying their own strategies. General Li Er did not notice that he was ambushed, but he still wanted to take his anger on the people. How could he be a gentleman?"

Li Shimin turned around.

He raised his body, "You can go back and tell Luo Cheng that when the heavy rain stops, I will lead the army to attack Taiyuan and let him wait!"

The warrior was driven out of Huoyi.

Li Shimin immediately passed an order, "The whole army is ready to fight Luo Cheng here."

A general immediately persuaded him, "We came from afar, to enter Taiyuan, and to use natural dangers such as Jingxing to block the Qin army from the dangerous fortress, but now Luo Cheng has entered Taiyuan, and there are no casualties, and his strength has increased instead of decreasing. Our army is now cut off from the rear of the food route, and the people around here are afraid of me, without food and no danger, and there is only a small Huoyi, I am afraid that I can't stop Luo Cheng at all, so it's better to retreat to the big city to defend."

But Li Shimin shook his head.

"You can't retreat, and it's even harder to stop Luo Cheng as soon as you retreat. Although Huoyi is small, the city is strong and the ground is dangerous, guarding the important road of Queshi Valley. Although our army cannot immediately counterattack Taiyuan, we cannot let Luo Cheng take advantage of the situation to move south."

After passing Huoyi, the south is the plain basin along the Fen River. If you don’t guard it, it will be even more difficult to guard it to the south.

"But since Luo Cheng seized Taiyuan, he can also attack the upper party and lower Changping, and take a detour behind us. At that time, we will be surrounded by attacks from both sides."

"We can't retreat, we must fight him!" Li Shimin insisted.

The generals and the school retired.

Li Shimin stood alone in the hall, looking down at the heads of his uncle and cousin.

"Uncle, cousin, you can go all the way."

All the generals advised him to withdraw his troops, but Li Shimin knew that if he retreated, he would probably never stop him.

When the East and West Wei fought for the world, Gao Huan of the Eastern Wei fought for the strong soldiers and horses, and occupied the richest Guandong area. Yuwen Tai only occupied a corner of Guanlong. However, in the end, the Western Wei seized the opportunity to cross the Yellow River east, and cleverly captured Shaojun in Hedong, and entered Hedong. From then on, the Guanhe natural danger that the two Wei relied on each other was seized by the Western Wei, and the Western Wei occupied the strategic initiative.

After that, the Western Wei took Yubi City in the southwest of Jishan, Hedong County as a base to occupy the Emei Plain, forcing Gao Huan to take the initiative to seize it twice, but suffered two major defeats, which changed the strategic situation of both sides.

Li Shimin did not intend to give up Xihe immediately. Jiang County retreated to Hedong County. He wanted to hold Luo Cheng here and drag down Luo Cheng.

Late at night.

Huoyi City is peaceful.

Suddenly, there were fire everywhere and there were shouting killing everywhere.

"The Qin army raided!"

"Enemy attack!"

"The Qin army is here!"

Li Shimin, who had just fallen asleep, was wearing a dress and was not even as good as wearing armor. He came out with a sword and saw that Huoyi City was actually inflamed everywhere, and Qin troops in red robes were everywhere on the street.

"How did they come in?" Li Shimin roared repeatedly.

March 13, 2nd year of Kaiyuan, Daqin.

General Qu Tutong led the elite cavalry to quietly emerge from the Queshi Valley and attacked Huoyi at night. A defender opened the city gate to lead the Qin army into the city. The Tang army was in chaos. Li Shimin had no time to wear armor and drew his sword to fight on the long street. He was captured with all his strength!
