[Rebirth] Anecdote of Li Tang

In Du Ruhui's memory, this was the first time King Qin lost his temper at him.

"Aside from retreating and recuperating, don't you guys speak other words?"

Du Ruhui didn't know how many other soldiers Li Shimin asked besides him to join the army.But he knew that this time, all Qin Wang got was a request to withdraw troops.

The counselor's advice has always been very important to Li Shimin's march.Qin Wang is a general who can listen to suggestions with an open mind, which is also a fact recognized by all the advisers under Li Shimin's command.

It was the first time Du Ruhui saw Li Shimin resist their proposal so much.Facing King Qin's outburst of anger, Du Ruhui fell silent.

The army is exhausted and the people's hearts are returning. It is doomed that this is an army with weak combat effectiveness.You must know that Li Shimin really did his best to defeat Wang Shichong!The most elite troops of the Li and Tang Dynasty are now outside Luoyang City.

Dou Jiande also saw this opportunity and acted quickly, preparing to be the fisherman in the fight between the snipe and the clam.

It was precisely because Du Ruhui saw it clearly that he persuaded King Qin to retreat temporarily.

King Qin was in a bad mood, which quickly affected the overall atmosphere of the entire army.Tang Jun, who used to be the best at having fun while suffering, is now all listless, waiting for Li Shimin to make the final decision.

No one wants to fight, and Li Shimin is not the kind of bloodthirsty monarch.He has always treated his subordinates like brothers and sisters.

The King of Qin never fought uncertain battles, but this time, it was different.

Li Chengqian quietly came to Li Shimin's military tent. Just as the guard was about to report, he saw this cute little son, making a silent gesture to himself, rolling his eyes, and said silently. wearing something.

The guard looked at it for a while, and finally understood.What Xiao Shizi said was: "I'll just take a look." Thus, the guards continued to be on duty like a door god, keeping an eye on his nose, nose, nose and heart, and completely turned a blind eye to Xiao Shizi.

Li Chengqian took advantage of it, so he opened the tent a crack, and secretly looked at the situation inside the tent.Except for Li Shimin, everyone else in the tent was sent out, and the king of Qin, who had been strategizing in the past, looked a little haggard at the moment, leaning on the case with his hands on his forehead, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Chengqian just watched like this, and no one came to stop him.After an unknown amount of time, Li Chengqian suddenly heard a sentence: "Come in if you want to see it, what are you doing hiding there?"

Startled, Li Chengqian looked up quickly, but met Li Shimin's gaze.It turned out that he had been discovered long ago, but Li Shimin just ignored him.

Only then did Li Chengqian straighten his armor, and walked into Li Shimin's military tent.

Li Shimin looked at the child who had grown much taller in front of him, and felt full of emotion.From the beginning when the iron armor covered him, it was so heavy that Li Chengqian could only bend over, looking like he couldn't straighten up. Now he is wearing the iron armor, like a tall and straight sapling. It has indeed been more than half a year.

The day of Changsun's childbirth is getting closer day by day.If it is said that he misses Chang'an, Li Shimin is no less than anyone in the army.However, as a coach, he has to consider far more than just love for his children.

He waved at Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian paused.He was already on guard, every time Li Shimin called him to go, he was always lifted up inadvertently, like pulling a carrot.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Chengqian approached, he was caught by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin slipped away.

Hey, why didn't you move?

Taking a closer look, Li Chengqian's hands were firmly grasping the desk, and his eyes were staring at him warily.Looking at such a lovely son, Li Shimin's depressed mood for a long time finally cleared up, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

In the end, Li Chengqian still sat on Li Shimin's lap, and received a slap that was neither light nor heavy.Only then did Li Chengqian realize that his father was not simply in a daze.On the table, there is a marching map, on which all the passes, mountains and rivers are carefully marked.

Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin whisper in his ear: "Father will turn all the places on this map into my Li family's world."

For some reason, Li Chengqian's eyes became hot.

In the past, he always resented his father for only focusing on leading the army and fighting, and rarely caring about himself, but now, with the experience of serving in the army for the past six months, he can completely understand his father.

If you can sleep peacefully on a high bed, who wants to fight in the rain of arrows all day long.Even Li Chengqian would occasionally dream of Changsun's soft breasts and the light fragrance on his body.

That's the taste of home.

In the next second, Li Chengqian heard Li Shimin ask in a hoarse voice: "Does Chengqian miss his concubine?"

Li Chengqian hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded: "Yes."

Li Shimin's sigh seemed to be heard beside his ears: "Then let's go back, shall we?"

This time, Li Chengqian shook his head firmly: "I won't go back, I won't retreat."

Li Shimin was startled, looking at Li Chengqian with surprise and doubt in his eyes: "Chengqian, don't you miss your mother and concubine?"

But Li Chengqian said something that was completely unexpected by Li Shimin: "Bring the victory back to the concubine mother." Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly, and before Li Chengqian could react, he hugged him tightly. arms.

"The good Chengqian is worthy of being the son of the father."

Hearing such praise, Li Chengqian felt a little guilty.He dared to tell Li Shimin this because he knew that Li Shimin not only defeated Wang Shichong, but also defeated Dou Jiande in this battle, taking Henan and Hebei into his pocket at the same time.Since then, King Qin's prestige in Beijing has grown day by day. This has been a fait accompli praised by countless people in his previous life.

However, Li Shimin at this moment is still at the stage of not knowing what to do. He tried to analyze the current situation carefully to Li Chengqian.

"Chengqian knows, who's army is in the city of Luoyang we are fighting now?"

If it wasn't for Li Shimin's face, Li Chengqian would probably roll his eyes in front of him, but Li Chengqian still replied politely: "Wang Shichong."

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "We have been stationed outside Luoyang for so long, and Wang Shichong's army is already at the end of its strength, but he didn't want to just surrender to me, so he wrote a letter to attract Dou Jiande."

Li Chengqian asked softly: "Dou Jiande?"

Li Shimin nodded and said: "That's right, Cheng Qian can imagine him as a jackal who competes with his father for meat, and Wang Shichong is that piece of fat."

Li Chengqian laughed out loud: "Then what is the father?"

Li Shimin looked at the son in his arms with a smile: "Of course the father is a tiger, you are a cub." As he said that, he suddenly lifted Li Chengqian up.

Counting it, this is the first time that father and son get along so well.

Seeing that Li Chengqian had understood the relationship between several parties, Li Shimin continued: "Now the father's meat is almost in hand, but the father's followers are already very tired. They all want to go back to the mountains and forests, let's take a rest first. Otherwise, the jackal's attack is likely to injure them."

Li Chengqian listened, but suddenly frowned and said: "But the tiger is gone, isn't the meat the later wolf's?"

Li Shimin stared at Li Chengqian for a while, then patted his head: "That's right, if the father withdraws his troops, the meat that the father has been thinking about for so long will belong to someone else."

Before Li Chengqian finished speaking, he murmured: "Besides, the jackal will regain its energy after eating the meat, and it can continue to recuperate. Isn't that stronger?"

If it wasn't for the lack of free hands, Li Shimin would have wanted to applaud Li Chengqian.What the child said was exactly what Li Shimin was considering.Dou Jiande came here this time because he saw the weakness of the Tang army. Just like what Du Ruhui and others said to Li Shimin, the advisers around Dou Jiande must also think that Li Shimin will retreat.

And when Li Shimin retreated, Dou Jiande could tear up his mask of aiding Wang Shichong, turn Henan into his sphere of influence, and at that time, confront Li Tangdong.

Although Chang'an is Xijing, Guanzhong is not as prosperous as Jiangnan after all.Once Dou Jiande swallowed Wang Shichong, Li Tang's situation will be very dangerous.

But don't retreat, just go head-to-head with Dou Jiande's army, can it work?

Li Shimin almost made a hole in the map, but he still couldn't think of a good way.

Li Chengqian looked at Li Shimin's worried face, and suddenly raised his finger to point to a pass: "Father, this name is good, Hulao Pass, you will definitely be able to guard Luoyang City."

Li Shimin looked up and was stunned.Hulao Pass is the gateway to Luoyang, the eastern capital.It borders Songshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. Most importantly, from the direction of Dou Jiande's march, Hulao Pass is the only pass leading to Luoyang.If Dou Jiande's army can be wiped out here, then Luoyang will be safe.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he held Li Chengqian's face and kissed him several times.Li Chengqian's unintentional words solved the problem that he had been thinking about for so long, how could he not be excited.

In the end, Li Shimin made an extremely bold decision.He knew that there were not many people in the army who still had ambitions.From all the soldiers and horses, he selected 500 soldiers who were very determined and able to stop Dou Jiande's team, and he personally led them to Hulao Pass day and night.The purpose of these [-] people is to block Dou Jiande's eastward advance to Luoyang; while Li Shimin's large army, led by General Yuchi Jingde, is still outside Luoyang City, surrounding Wang Shichong, so that Wang Shichong, who originally wanted to join forces with Dou Jiandeli, , dare not act rashly.
