Chapter 874
June.
The Qin Emperor personally led the expedition and bombarded Xinkou Pass City with the magical artifact of the country, and Song Jingang was defeated and left. The Qin army took advantage of the situation and attacked Yanmen County in one fell swoop, and Loufan County was completely recovered by the Qin army within a few days.
Yanmen.
By the Hutuo River, Li Shimin came down to the river by a group of Qin troops.
Looking at the river, he felt the corruption of the situation. Xinkou was broken and Loufan County was lost. The Qin army could go straight to Yanmen Pass along the Hutuo River. How could Liu Wuzhou block Luo Cheng?
What's more, Luo Cheng's red-clothed cannon had already witnessed its power on the battlefield. The huge rock weighing more than 100 kilograms was like a hill, which could be directly shot over 200 steps away.
I'm afraid Yanmen City can't be defended at all.
Will Liu Wuzhou retreat to Mayi outside the pass?
Since Yanmen cannot be guarded, how can we guard Mayi?
这或许就将是重演一次大业十二年的雁门之围吧,上一次罗成两千里飞驰救援隋帝,而这次他是来收复代北的,始毕曾经在马邑败北饮恨,甚至最终兵败身死,换了颉利能赢吗?
At night, the army camped by the river.
"Second brother, Your Majesty summons you."
"Don't go."
Li Shimin was in a bad mood and didn't want to see Luo Cheng's face. He must have wanted to show off his martial arts and ridicule him.
"Second brother, I seem to hear His Majesty talk about Chai Shao and his troops."
"What's wrong with Chai Shao?"
李世民自在河东成了罗成的俘虏,走哪便被带到哪,不过虽然自由被限制了,但也并不是被枷起来的囚犯,许多消息他也能听到一些的,甚至罗成还经常召他去饮宴,有时还让他在宴上舞个剑做个诗什么的.
Li Shimin felt that this was an insult to him, so he was extremely dissatisfied with Luo Cheng and would not go if he could.
He also knew before that after his defeat, his father quickly transferred Chai Shao and Li Shuliang from Longyou to Guanzhong, and then sent Chai Shao to lead an army of 100,000 north.
Li Shimin had been secretly looking forward to Chai Shao's army and horses that could play an unexpected victory. When he came out of Luoyang, he was excited and felt that Luo Cheng would be defeated by the coalition forces this time.
But who would have expected that Liu Wuzhou would lose Xinkou so quickly and Lou Fan.
Now that he heard the news about Chai Shao again, he couldn't help but worry.
"Let's go."
Li Shimin stood up and bastardly treated his brother Xuan Badao.
"Second brother, please change your clothes."
Li Shimin looked down at his clothes, wearing a white robe, which was extremely simple and simple.
"It's pretty good, let's go."
自他被俘后,也在洛阳城见过了三娘,三姐劝说他归附,李世民不肯.但罗成却公开授封他为敦煌侯,还给了个左屯卫将军之职,这让他很不满,这消息若传到长安,那边还真以为他降了呢.
Even so, Li Shimin refused to wear the Qin Dynasty's official uniforms, only wore white clothes.
When Xuanba saw his second brother as he continued, he just sighed and accompanied him to the central army tent.
"The Dunhuang Marquis is here, sit down and tell you good news."
As soon as Li Shimin entered the tent, he heard the emperor laughing and waved to him. When he saw the emperor like this, his heart couldn't help but sink. It was good news for the emperor, but it must be bad news for him.
“先前颉利丑虏穷凶极恶,连破我定襄,大利二城,屠杀军民近五万人马.可这个仇,我们马上就要报回来了,前几日我们攻破了忻口,收复了楼烦,斩杀降俘刘武周叛军八千余众.”
"And then I got better news today. The King of Jin also fought a beautiful battle in the north. He lured Chai Shao into the city to capture him and defeated Chai Shao's army of 80,000. Chai Shao was surrendered, and the Tang army was gone. Beautiful!"
When Li Shimin heard the emperor still bragging, he felt that the eyes were slim.
At the following celebration banquet, Li Shimin lowered his head and was just drinking the suffocating wine.
He thought of the need for death, his father's trust, his promise to his father, his father and his son for years to endure the burden, and his journey was so difficult after the Jiangdu Incident, and finally returned to Guanzhong and finally defeated Xue Ju, Longyou.
He cried endlessly in his heart, "I am guilty."
This crime is even if he jumps into the Yellow River. He leads his army out of seclusion, not only fails to stabilize the situation in Hedong, but also makes the Tang Dynasty lose all the land in Hedong overnight, not to mention that he also loses all the last elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.
He regrets it now, why didn't he die on the battlefield?
As a soldier, even if he cannot return with a corpse, he should never be humiliated by being imprisoned.
The general did not die on the battlefield, but should also die not far from the battlefield, and he must not become Luo Cheng's toy clown as he is now.
Before, Li Shimin was still hoping that the Tang Dynasty could unite Jie Li, Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou and others to defeat Luo Cheng. Not to mention destroying him in one fell swoop, at least he would have to defeat Luo Cheng's arrogance and form a new balanced situation instead of his dominance.
At that time, he thought that after Luo Cheng was defeated, he might be able to exchange prisoners with Luo Cheng and still be able to return to the Tang Dynasty.
But now, he only has despair and desire to die.
That night, the Qin monarch and ministers and generals were very happy and had a cup of tea, but he didn't know how to persevere until the end.
Walking out of the tent, dizzy and dizzy.
The summer wind blew, making him feel a little more awake.
It was still Li Xuanba who sent him back, and the two walked along the river bank.
Li Shimin listened to his brother's spitting in front of him, but he still tried to persuade him to surrender.
He pulled his collar, then gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards the river with big strides, and jumped into the river.
With a plop, water splashed everywhere.
"Second brother!"
When Xuanba heard the sound, he turned his head and realized that his second brother was gone and the waves in the river were splashing high.
He plunged into the water with a fierce spell.
In summer, the water in the Hutuo River is very deep and turbulent.
Xuanba jumped into the river, but could not catch Li Shimin's men for a while.
"Come, come quickly. Dunhuang Hou was drunk and fell into the water. Hurry up and catch people!" Xuanba shouted.
One Qin army after another jumped into the river and searched for the Dunhuang Marquis.
After just finishing washing and preparing to rest, Luo Cheng was stunned when he heard the urgent report.
"Drunk and fell into the water?" Luo Cheng shook his head, "He has drunk a lot tonight, but it is unlikely that he will fall into the water?"
"According to the soldiers following Li Shimin, Li Shimin ran straight into the river at that time, and was simply seeking death."
