Chapter 27

I see who dares to step forward!

————————————————————

......

When I conquered Goryeo that year.

She is less than twenty years old.

Her husband is the man named Li Shimin.

Not his son.

......

It is not as usual. The winter is spent in the house with fire in Chang'an City.

The army has crossed the northeastern border...

Li Shimin plans to accomplish a feat.

A task that was not completed by previous generations.

However, things in the world are destined to be a failure.

The person who told Wu Meiniang this was a man named Lu Ankang.

He did not stay in the army with any position. He belonged to an alien. He would call him a person like the company commander Sun Wuji when he saw him.

"Brother Lu..."

He is so young, just like the young boy Li Zhi who follows Li Shimin. If he wasn't his own, I'm afraid anyone would think that he should be Li Shimin's nephew or an illegitimate child in his life. After all, it is normal for an emperor to have a few illegitimate children. However, he is not a simple person as illegitimate child...

When all the ministers saw Li Shimin, the lord of the Celestial Dynasty, they had to bow their heads, but he was alone, sitting there quietly, listening to everything he had expected.

That day, there were only three people in the big tent, Wu Meiniang and Li Shimin.

Wu Meiniang delivered the hot wine to the two of them.

Both of them were sitting quietly in front of a map drawn by the young man himself. The young man had no expression on his face, while Li Shimin kept frowning.

"Will you really lose?"

"The win or loss depends on you... not on me!"

The man named Lu Ankang picked up a bowl of wine and drank it slowly.

"The wine is good, but what did you put?"

Lu Ankang asked, his eyes immediately fell on Wu Meiniang, who was still a talented man. At this time, this girl was far from the woman who dominated the world later.

She is just a little girl.

"When I say sir, I add some petal water when I’m hot..."

The girl Wu Meiniang replied.

Lu Ankang nodded: "No wonder there is a fragrance of flowers."

Lu Ankang couldn't help but take a few sips again.

Wu Meiniang, who was kneeling on the ground, quietly retreated after receiving Li Shimin's order.

She kept trying to look back and see the young man. What kind of man was that would make a hero like Li Shimin humbly listen to his opinions.

However, whether to say or not is in his mind.

Wu Meiniang only knew that this was the first time she had seen Lu Ankang.

Such a mysterious and interesting man.

What she didn't know was that when she saw Lu Ankang again many years later, he would be a man who would change his life.

I remember the afternoon of the day when Ans City was besieged.

Suddenly, the sound of pigs and roosters crowing in the city.

Li Shimin estimated that the Goryeo defenders might attack the Tang camp at night, so he tightened his troops. As expected, hundreds of Goryeo people went down in the middle of the night. Li Shimin personally rushed to the city and attacked the army. Dozens of dead Goryeo troops could only retreat to the city. The next day, Emperor Taizong of Tang ordered Jiangxia Wang Daozong to build a dirt mountain in the south of Anshi to force the city. The defenders in the city also increased their city and resisted the Tang army. The soldiers on both sides fought in different battles, and they had to go back to the city for six or seven rounds a day. The soldiers of the Tang army used chariots and cannon stones to destroy the building, and the defenders in the city used wood.

The gap was blocked. When Li Daozong was building the Tushan Mountain, his foot was injured. Emperor Taizong of Tang personally acupuncture. Therefore, the mountain was built day and night, and it took more than 60 days to build the mountain, and more than 500,000 people were employed. The top of the mountain was only a few feet away from the city, and it was located in the city. The Daozong sect Guoyi Fu Fu Ai general stationed the top of the Tushan Mountain to prepare for the enemy. Because the top of the mountain was too high and the foundation was not solid, there were too many troops stationed, and the Tushan Mountain collapsed, crushing a corner of the city wall. At this time, Fu Ai left his post without permission, and hundreds of Goryeo defenders rushed out of the city flaw, occupied the Tushan Mountain, and "guarded it with a trench."

Such an excellent opportunity to conquer Anshi City was wasted so much, and it was turned into its own defensive barrier by the other party. How could Taizong not be furious? So he beheaded Fu Fuai and made it public, and ordered the generals to lead their troops to regain Tushan. However, the attacks for three consecutive days did not work.

The three-day and night battle continued.

Li Daozong walked barefoot to his subordinates to apologize. Li Shimin gave him a special pardon for his achievements in defeating Gaimu and Liaodong. At this time, Anshicheng's unremitting defense finally dragged the Tang army into September. The frost in the Liaodong area was early; the grass was dry and the water was frozen, and the military rations were about to be exhausted, so Taizong issued an edict to train the troops on September 19th, and the battle to besiege Taizong to conquer Goryeo ended.

In fact, the failure of this war.

It is a crucial little detail.

That is to use the wrong general, which leads to the loss of the entire game.

It's just that there is no record in history...

The general was really only concerned about Li Shimin's safety, so he gave up his mission and turned to rescue Li Shimin.

What is not recorded in history books is what kind of bloody battle they encountered when they were surrounded and retreated.

Wu Meiniang will always remember that day...

All the princes who accompanied the army hid in the Cheluan, and outside were guarding one hundred soldiers on three levels inside and outside.

Among the princes, Li Zhi, who was a little older, was the bravest. He stood at the entrance of Cheluan with his sharp sword and resisted the enemy soldiers with his soldiers.

Because the offensive is too strong.

Everyone had to retreat to a mountaintop tent, including Li Shimin himself.

Everyone was waiting for reinforcements, but they all knew that reinforcements might not be too late.

In the tent, those people had already begun to close their eyes in despair.

Only Li Shimin, holding a long sword in his hand, stood at the door, standing there as if waiting for something.

He said with confidence: "He will definitely come! He will definitely come!"

It seemed that this mentality had infected Li Zhi, and the young man also stood behind his father with a sword.

The father and son may have reached a tacit understanding at this moment.

Perhaps it was at this moment that Li Zhi, who had no hope of ascending the throne, suddenly had a glimmer of opportunity.

The father and son stood in front of everyone, listening to the fighting sounds of the enemy troops rushing up outside.

They seemed to be ready to die, and unlike everyone else, they were-

They must die in battle even if they die.

They held the sword in their hands tightly, and not far away, Changsun Wuji slowly took out the longbow he had not used for many years.

What do you think before a person dies?

Wu Meiniang doesn't know about other people.

All she knew was that she didn't want to die, she hadn't lived enough.

It's just such a deep cry...

It seems to have received a response.

Accompanied by a "clang".

The gate was knocked open, and the enemy soldiers were about to rush up in the blink of an eye and chopped down the father and son with the sword in their hands.

A dark knife...

It fell in front of everyone.

Separating the enemy and us into a wide black line.

The young man with no expression on his face and likes to drink came from nowhere.

He might have fallen from the sky...

When he appeared, there was only one sentence:

"I see who dares to step forward!!!"
