It wasn't that Li Xiuning was tired from riding a horse, but that she really couldn't see these homeless people, the children were crying, the adults were yelling, and the miserable appearance made Li Xiuning feel very sad.

In desperation, Li Xiuning just rode to Chen Ying's carriage and boarded Chen Ying's carriage.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning with joy and said, "San Niang, are you tired? Come in and sit down."

With that said, Chen Ying got up to get out of the way on the soft couch.Li Xiuning sat on the soft couch with a tired expression.

Chen Ying hurriedly picked up the kettle and poured Li Xiuning a cup of tea.

Li Xiuning shook her head.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's appearance, and said distressedly: "San Niang, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Li Xiuning said: "In my heart... You said that the people on the official road, when will their hard life end?"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "The peaks and mountains are like clusters, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are outside and inside Tongguan Road, looking at the western capital, hesitant, sad, where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been made of earth, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer ..."

"The prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering!" A blur appeared in Li Xiuning's eyes.

Chen Yingdao: "The hardships of the common people are coming to an end, when we finish this battle, they will have a better life!"

"Will it be?" Li Xiuning felt very tired in her heart.

Chen Yingdao: "I will definitely, trust me!"

Unknowingly, Chen Ying's hand held Li Xiuning's hand tightly.Li Xiuning's body softened, and she leaned gently on Chen Ying's shoulder.

The silence speaks.

……

Xiangzhou Linlu Mountain is connected to Taihang in the south and Hengyue in the north.At this time, on one of the small peaks in Lin Lu Mountain, thick smoke billowed, and the screams of killing shook the sky.

One side of Da Tao, the Shangshu of Hebei Dao Xingtai in the Tang Dynasty, hangs weakly on the flagpole.

The soldiers of the Tang army fell on the hillside in disorder, and the rocks and soil were already stained red with blood.From the bottom of the mountain came the wanton and arrogant laughter of the Yanzhao man, and Li Shentong, the king of Yongkang County, looked palely at the Xia Kingdom's army that was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the mountain.

In fact, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty did not fail to consider the variable of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in the Eastern Expedition.The great unification of China is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No matter which emperor, unless he is born with inadequacies, no one is willing to separate the regime.

In order to prevent Xia Guo Dou Jiande from interfering in Datang's strategic action to attack Wang Shichong, Li Yuan ordered Li Shentong, the king of Yongkang County, to serve as the general of the right Yiwei and concurrently as the pacifying ambassador of Shandong Province. The Tang army in the entire area east of Taihang Mountain was under the control of Li Shentong.In order to resist Dou Jiande, Datang established Hebei Xingtai after Li Shimin's expedition, and Li Shentong was the left servant of Xingtai Shangshu.

However, the difference between Li Shentong's Xingtai Shangshu Zuo Pushe and Qu Tutong's Shanxi Dao Xingtai Shangshu Zuo Pushe is that his Zuo Pushe does not have a top Xingtai Shangshu order. Ling Yao leads, which means that Li Shentong is the real leader.

But it is very pitiful that most of the Tang Army under Li Shentong's command was adapted from the Shandong Rebel Army. No matter the equipment or morale, they were far from the Guanzhong Tang Army. , Li Shentong's soldiers and horses couldn't resist.In desperation, Li Shentong had no choice but to lead the remnants to break through.

They ran all the way to Lin Lu Mountain in panic all day long, but the morale of the Xia army surged up to Lin Lu Mountain like a tide, with fire attacks, crossbow arrows, and tens of thousands of soldiers.

In fact, the strength gap between the two sides is too great. Unless they are elite troops, there is no need to fight. Just seeing the densely packed enemies below the mountain, I have already been frightened to the point of weakness.

Xia Guo's general Liu Jintang, who was handsome but dark-eyed, looked at Da Tao of Li Shentong and said, "Fuck you all, hurry up and capture Li Shentong before His Majesty arrives."

All the generals and soldiers of the Xia army roared and climbed up while gritting their teeth.As the killing cries got closer, Li Shentong seemed to be dumbfounded and remained motionless.

PS: The third update is over today, good night everyone, now Lao Cheng is on the train home, it is very hard to buy a hard seat, it is estimated that the update will be very late tomorrow, I hope everyone understands.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Four to five thousand archers of the Xia army were densely packed and shot arrows up the hillside in turn. Although they were attacking upwards from the bottom, it was very disadvantageous.However, the number of Tang Jun Li's supernatural powers suffered a big loss, and the Tang Jun archers of the two teams also responded. Every row of arrowheads shot, took away the lives of dozens of Xia Jun soldiers.

However, the casualties of dozens of people are not even drizzle for the generals of the Xia army.On the contrary, when Xia Jun's arrows shot towards the top of the mountain like rain, it was like a violent storm on the top of the mountain.The soldiers of the Tang army have been driven into the abyss of despair at this time.

At this moment, they got up to fight back, no matter how fast they moved, under the heavy rain of arrows, they were simply the targets of the Xia army's archers. Under these Xia army's archers firing arrows in turn, they did not know how many people would die.

What was even more frightening was that there was a sound of killing from behind, and a soldier of the Tang army who was hesitating whether to abandon his weapon was pierced by a shot and thrown into the abyss below the mountain.In the despairing eyes of the generals of the Tang Army, the terrifying Xia Jun's horizontal sabers appeared behind them. These Xia Jun's short soldiers held horizontal sabers, their heads were hanging from their waists, and they were covered in blood. The devil that came out.

This time, Tang Qijiang's soldiers didn't even have the strength to struggle, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their bodies were stiff, stuck there, imitating Li Shentong's appearance, motionless, with despair on their faces.

Liu Jintang laughed loudly and said: "I told you that you can't beat me, and you can't escape, should you believe me now?" With the gun raised, his voice became cold: "Flee immediately, otherwise no one will even think about it." Live!"

Thousands of soldiers of the Xia army shouted in unison, "Surrender immediately!"

The sound is like thunder, as if there are layers of sound waves in the air, it is really frightening!

Li Shentong finally made a move, and his movements were even a little more agile than the spirit monkey. He quickly took off his saber, threw it on the ground, his liver and gallbladder were torn, and hissed: "We are willing to surrender, we are willing to surrender... ..."

Under the intimidation of thousands of strong bows, the surviving soldiers of the Tang army walked down the hillside obediently, put down their weapons according to the orders of the soldiers of the Xia army, and squatted down with their heads in their hands, not daring to breathe.This one-sided bloody battle has frightened them out of their wits. In their eyes, these soldiers of the Xia army are the incarnations of demons, and no one dares to touch their bad luck.

After confirming that all the soldiers of the Tang army on the mountain were escorted down the mountain, the guard of honor of Dou Jiande, the Lord of Xia, came from afar. The first thing that came into view were two door flags, one of which was held by a soldier in red. The 24 armored soldiers held bows and arrows and guarded the gate flag.

After the two door flags, there is the guide music, first there are two opera bamboos, then six music pipes, four seven-hole flutes, two sheng, two cloud gongs, one guide drum and a pair of clappers.In order, there are four royal sticks, four wands, four standing melons, four lying melons, four stars, and four axes, ten five-color golden dragon banners, ten five-color dragon banners, ten double-dragon yellow fans, ten yellow nine-dragon umbrellas, and one nine-dragon crank. Huang Huagai, followed by Dou Jiande's chariot, behind Dou Jiande's chariot are guards with sabers and guns.

Liu Jintang came up to greet him, and all the soldiers bowed down together: "Your servants welcome the holy driver, and the holy driver is safe!"

Dou Jiande got off the chariot and gave Liu Jintang a thumbs up: "Jintang, you did a good job!"

"Your Majesty's praise is ridiculous, this is the duty of a minister!" Hearing Dou Jiande's praise, Liu Jintang felt as if he had eaten honey, and his limbs felt indescribably comfortable.

Dou Jiande looked at his body trembling, but there was still a trace of contentious Li Shentong in his eyes: "Why are you doing this?"

"Master Xia, you don't need to persuade me anymore, the supernatural powers won't come down!" Li Shentong said in panic for a while: "As the clan of the Great Tang Dynasty, the supernatural powers ordered to give up resistance, but they just didn't want to add more killings. Heaven has the virtue of good life, why should Xia Guozhu make things difficult for others!"

"People are low bones. Driving them with righteousness is not as good as driving them with benefit, and driving them with benefit is not as good as driving them with fear." Liu Jintang said loudly: "If benevolence and righteousness can be invincible, the one who won the world back then was not Qin Shihuang but Confucius gone."

Liu Jintang was about to speak, but someone said: "No, no!"

Dou Jiande followed the prestige and saw that it was none other than Ling Jing who spoke.

"Impossible?" Not only Liu Jintang, but also Dou Jiande was a little strange. Since Li Shentong was unwilling to surrender, did he still keep his fat?

Ling Jing said: "Is Your Majesty worried about the issue of military rations? In terms of rations and grass, Li Yang still has some. These were originally the stocks of the Daye years. Although they are less than one-tenth of the previous ones, when I went to Chang'an last time, I accidentally asked Li Shiji It is known that there are 60 shi of new grain in Liyang Cang. These grains were originally prepared by Lord Li to relieve the disaster in the east of the river. The 60 shi of grain is enough for His Majesty's [-] troops for [-] days. In a short time, we temporarily You don’t have to think about the food issue.”

Dou Jiande was puzzled: "What does this have to do with killing or not killing Li Shentong?"

Ling Jing said, "Your Majesty doesn't know, the one guarding Liyang City now is Li Shiji, General Zuo Wuwei."

"Li Shiji?" Dou Jiande said disapprovingly, "Li Shiji is just a nobody, what a shame..."

Liu Jintang bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the last general is not talented, and the last general is willing to lead five thousand light soldiers to win Li Yang for His Majesty!"

Ling Jingdao: "This Li Shiji is not an unknown person, he is Xu Shiji, Li Mi's former subordinate, who was given the surname Li by the Lord Tang, so he changed his name to Li Shiji!"

"It's him!" Dou Jiande hesitated, looking at Li Shentong, suddenly realized.

……

In Liyang City, it was drizzling and drizzling. Li Shiji stood on the gate of the city, looking towards the east, feeling vaguely unhappy.As analyzed by Chen Ying, the refugees are the early warning of the army, and it can be inferred that the rout of the army is also the early warning.Li Shiji, who was in Liyang, had encountered scattered Tang army routs, but these routs had no senior generals, and they couldn't even tell the exact information about Xia's army.
