Traveling through the Gaowu Tang Dynasty, Li Kuan and Li Shimin became the second sons of the Prince

"..." Li Kuan didn't understand why he did some pre-battle mobilization for this battle, then acted like a reckless man, rushed to the city gate and threw a horse, then fought back to his own camp, and then... Look Doesn't it seem like there's nothing wrong with him? !

That’s not right, I am the protagonist!

Shouldn’t the position of Uncle Dou, who is currently in the limelight, belong to me? !

And Li Jing... By the way... I gave up the command of the army myself...

"What a loss... what a big loss!" Li Kuan grimaced, looking at the black armored army who was about to follow Dou Shilun into the city and the Tang army following closely behind them, Li Kuan suddenly felt a sense of absurdity: I just I took a nap, and guess what? Hey! If you're not careful, the battle is over!

This won't work!

This king also plans to return to Chang'an in the future, and if he commits another crime and is beaten by the foolish king, he will shout out the righteous declaration of "I have shed blood for the Tang Dynasty, and I have sacrificed my life for the people", which will make the foolish king so ashamed that he will be unable to do anything. , but if this was a battle in Dingxiang City, I would be a loser...

If I shout this slogan again, my father's slap will become even more fierce?

And from now on, if there is a banquet in the palace, I will not be allowed to sit at the children's table, right? !

No way, no way, this will never happen!

His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who had made up his mind not to sit at the children's table for meals in the future, immediately made up his mind: "Go Jiang, I don't have time to explain to you, we have to fuck him!"

"My Royal Highness the King of Chu, what else do you want?!" Jiang Qu couldn't hear what King Chu said about "doing something big" because this guy's understanding of "big" is often different from what ordinary people understand - - If you have to give an example, it's like you think that opening the Xuanwu Gate is the limit of this little bastard, but maybe this guy is actually thinking about changing dynasties and becoming a great ancestor.

How should I put it, whether he wanted to be the "First King of Qin" who surpassed his father, or the "King of Zhou" who was given horses by King Qin, our King of Chu just wanted to be different from others - he is who he is, he is. Sparks of different colors.

"Didn't you see that Jie Li has already descended from the city?" Li Kuan waved to the place where Jie Li had been standing, which was now empty. He looked at Jiang and said, "Jie Li must be leading people to run away."

The terrain in Dingxiang City is complex, and a large group of cavalry will definitely not be able to charge. In this way, his black armored army will have the upper hand, not only Li Jing's 3,000 elite soldiers, Xue Wanche's 1,300 cavalry, and Qibi He Li Li and his four hundred tribesmen are all veterans of many battles, and they are not any Turkic wolf soldiers.

More importantly, judging from the fact that so many fires were ignited in Dingxiang City in a very short period of time, Uncle Dou may have been prepared for this, and the people he arranged are probably very powerful, otherwise it would be impossible. Such a big commotion was caused so quickly.

"Your Highness, are you going to capture Jieli alive?!" Jiang Qu felt a little dizzy now. Let's not talk about whether Jieli is gathering an army in the city to continue fighting, or whether he is planning to take people to escape, but no matter what the situation is, there are many people around him. It is impossible to lose any of the guards.

"No, no, no, I want to let Jie Li go." Li Kuan looked at the flames that continued to rise above the city, and his smile became brighter.

He already had greater plans of conquest.

-------------------------------------

After Li Kuan entered Dingxiang City, he couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the ashes burning everywhere in the city.

Turks like to live in tents. Even if they built a city in Dingxiang, the civil buildings in the city are still very limited. Many Turkic nobles and even Jieli Khan himself still like to live in tents, so this creates a The fire almost destroyed a Dingxiang city.

"Let Jie Li take the people to escape." After Li Kuan and Jiang went into Dingxiang City, Dou Shilun had already taken off his armor and came to Li Kuan wearing a fur coat. Full of bandages.

"Uncle Dou..." Li Kuan couldn't help but be moved when he saw this scene: "Thank you for your hard work..."

"I'm fine, just a minor injury." Dou Shilun shook his head when he heard this, and then he said: "Your Highness, please come with me."

"Haha... is there a beauty from another race? Are you staying here for me? Well, I'm interested..." The confused King of Chu continued his nonsensical talk until he followed Dou Shilun into a new building. When I got up from the tent, I saw an old woman with a gentle face and even though her temples were slightly frosted, she still couldn't hide her noble temperament.

"Huh?" Li Kuan turned his head and glanced at Dou Shilun, saying in his heart that you really... wait... Li Kuan looked at Dou Shilun who was bowing to the old woman and saluted. In the flash of lightning, there was no need to wait for Dou Shilun to speak. , our Prince Chu’s brain suddenly flashed with inspiration, and then he respectfully saluted the old woman and said, “Li Kuan has met the aunt!”

"..." Not to mention the old woman, even Dou Shilun was confused for a moment, but the latter immediately reacted and saw Dou Shilun smiling and explaining to Queen Xiao in front of her: "His Royal Highness King Chu is Xiao Yu, Duke Xiao. Disciple...well...much favored by Mr. Xiao..."

Mr. Xiao...please forgive me...

Dou Shilun, who was worried that His Highness the King of Chu might cause trouble if he didn't say so, finally decided to say these words without conscience.

"Are you Kuan'er? The grandson mentioned in Awan's letter?" Empress Xiao was not too surprised that Li Kuan was Xiao Yu's disciple. On the contrary, what she wanted to confirm most was whether the other party was a good friend who was alive during his lifetime. The naughty child mentioned in the letter.

"Senior aunt...Senior aunt knows my grandmother?" Li Kuan felt a little out of his mind now. How come...he had never heard his grandmother talk about this matter?

In fact, the reason why Mr. Dou did not mention these things still stemmed from some old events.

Back then, Dou and Empress Xiao were good friends. However, after Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty usurped Zhou Dynasty and Empress Xiao married Yang Guang, Dou stopped taking the initiative to interact with Empress Xiao.

But Empress Xiao did not forget this friendship. At first, Li Yuan was punished because he refused to donate a horse to Yang Guang. Later, Dou persuaded her husband to donate the horse, and Yang Guang gradually gave up his doubts about Li Yuan. Among them, There is also the reason why Queen Xiao kept saying good things to him.

And how could Mr. Dou not understand the reason?

Later, when Yang Guang died, Empress Xiao and her grandson Yang Zhengdao were taken to live in Dingxiang City by Princess Yicheng. Empress Dou, who was worried that her friends would be coerced, often sent people to Dingxiang City to inquire about the other party, even at the expense of her own The retainer pretended to be a Hu merchant, brought rouge, gouache, Shu embroidery and brocade purchased from the Tang Dynasty, and promised a large sum of money to the Turkic nobles in exchange for the opportunity to contact Empress Xiao, in order to confirm whether his friend was really safe and sound.

Throw me peaches and give me Qiongyao in return. The bandits repay you, and you will always think it is good! (Note 1)

Back then, in the back garden of Princess Xiangyang's mansion, there were two little girls. One was swinging under the swing frame, and the other was pushing the swing behind them. They were talking and laughing, and regarded the song "Papaya" from the "Book of Songs" as a ballad. Humming softly.

"Throw me a tree and plum, and repay with a jade, a bandit repays you, and you will always think it's good!" Empress Xiao looked at Li Kuan's eyes at this time, and that was the only thing she found on his face that resembled that of a good friend... …(Note 2)

Over the years, things have changed and people have changed.

My childhood best friends are now separated by yin and yang, and they will never see each other again in this life.

Finally, with tears in his eyes, the old man looked at the young boy who was stunned on the spot and murmured: "Awan, your grandson is far more outstanding than what you praised in your letter..."
