Chapter 18 The woman descends from the sky

"What's going on? How could I choose to attack the city in the middle of the night? Who came up with a bad idea?" Li Shimin asked with a stern face, and the commander who summoned in, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. Chai Shao was not only his brother-in-law, but also the General of the Right Guard, one of the earliest old generals of the Li family. When the Li family raised an army, they followed the Li family to conquer the world. Qianshuiyuan pacified Xue Ju and his son, defeated Song Jingang in Hebei, defeated Wang Shichong in Luoyang, and captured Dou Jiande. Chai Shao was also there.

The fall of such a hero of a long-time general was a considerable loss for Li Tang.

"The subordinates are not very clear. It seems that the general said that Liu Heita had been captured, and the Eastern Han Army was now headed by Liu Shishan. It is necessary to capture Yizhou with lightning speed and capture Liu Shishan to shock the remnants of the Eastern Han Army. When Yizhou fell, Liu Shishan was captured or killed, and other cities naturally surrendered." The messenger was a little frightened, and the angry Li Shimin gave him a sense of oppression that would lose his head at any time.

"So... is the general's own idea?" Li Shimin seemed unable to lift up in one breath, and sat in his seat in a daze. After a long time, he said: "How is the situation in Yizhou now!"

The commander said: "The general was caught in an arrow and still commanded the army to attack the city. Liu Shishan, the governor of Yizhou, abandoned the city and fled north, and Yizhou had fallen."

"Liu Shishan, actually ran away?" Li Shimin slapped the table and quickly sent a command on the front line, allowing Chai Shao's deputy general Zhang Liang to temporarily take over the position of commander, pursue Liu Shishan, and let Zhang Liang spread the surrender of the remaining Han Eastern Army.

History was so out of control, which made Luo Shixin a little at a loss. It took him a while to come back to his senses. Seeing that Li Shimin had no interest in continuing to talk, he said goodbye and left.

Li Shimin didn't try to keep him if he had something to do.

Luo Shixin left the tent a few steps and heard Li Shimin's long sigh in his ears: "Brother-in-law, why are you doing this!"

Luo Shixin paused and secretly said, "Is there any gossip in it?" After thinking about it, he quickly shook his head and walked towards his camp: In ancient times, the news about the gossip royal relatives was about to lose their heads."

Liu Shishan finally ran away and fled to the border of the Turks with more than a hundred followers, and received support from the Turks.

Everything was as Chai Shao expected. Yizhou fell overnight, crushing all the fighting spirit of the Han East Army. The remaining Han East Army surrendered under the power of the Tang army.

In addition to being inexplicably radical, Chai Shao used his tactics very reasonably: the successful battle broke the last fighting spirit of the Han East Army, but unfortunately he was still alive, which made the stumbler fall unexpectedly.

This battle can be said to be over here. Of course, with Li Shimin's character, he did not want to withdraw troops so easily. Only by making greater achievements can he gain greater prestige and become one step closer to the position in his mind. Xu Yuanlang, who was allied with Liu Heita, was his next goal.

However, his wishful thinking was broken. When he was about to continue using military force against Xu Yuanlang, Li Yuan called him back with an edict.

Li Shimin knew something was wrong and ran more than a thousand miles from Hebei to Chang'an in four days.

It is obvious that Li Yuan is not going to let Li Shimin take another feat of capturing the two kings: in the Battle of Hulao, Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops with 3,500 troops, and captured Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande in one fell swoop in front of Li Yuan, which was awe-inspiring Li Tang, and his reputation directly surpassed Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan was stunned at that time and found that the achievements made by his capable son were not worthy of rewarding. He had no choice but to create a position of General Tiance for the first time and was enthroned by Li Shimin.

According to Li Yuan's original idea, Li Shimin will be refrigerated to avoid threatening Li Jiancheng's seat.

However, Liu Heita's uprising gave Li Yuan a blow. Liu Heita exploded Li Shentong, Luo Yi, Li Shiji, and defeated the Tang Dynasty's troops and horses. The troops sent by Li Tang to suppress the bandits actually fueled Liu Heita's momentum. Li Yuan really had to use Li Shimin and appoint him to attack Liu Heita.

This time, Li Yuan learned his lesson and stared at the situation in Hebei. As soon as he received the news of Li Shimin's great victory in Mingshui, he immediately rushed to recall Li Shimin back to Chang'an at 800 miles.

After a harmonious exchange between father and son, Li Shimin returned to Hebei and asked several generals who had no chance to make contributions to the territory of Xu Yuanlang to regain the gilded city. After a moment of thought, he gave up this achievement that was within reach.

Luo Shixin naturally had no chance to show his performance, and he had to chew the flesh and bones alone. The remaining little soup was not his turn.

Luo Shixin himself was also happy to be idle. He had nothing to do and asked Li Shimin for a few books to take a look. After all, he was a college graduate and would read a few books. He would learn endlessly, so he could gain some knowledge.

Li Shimin even informed Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, and asked Luo Shixin if he didn't understand, he could ask them.

Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin made a lot of contributions, and they did not have the gilding matters.

When I read a book and competed with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, I secretly hid somewhere, and drinking became a few things I had done over the past few months.

On July 6, the fifth year of Wude, the Li Tang general who had completed gilding was retreated to Chang'an under the leadership of Li Shimin.

After more than ten days of marching, the army arrived in Guanzhong and could reach Chang'an in half a day.

It was almost dusk, and in order not to marche at night to disturb the people, Li Shimin ordered camps on the Guanzhong Plain and set off again tomorrow morning.

For some reason, Luo Shixin couldn't sleep a little, so he rode out of the military camp. Looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, the appearance of his parents at home came to his mind, and couldn't help but sigh: "My parents, you can be at home!" He remembered that he had a younger brother, and felt glad. His younger brother Luo Shiyi was filial, honest and capable. With him at home, at least he didn't have to worry about the future of the two elders.

After thinking about it, Luo Shixin felt that the more he thought about it, the more abnormal his mind was, and he let go of everything casually: on the late summer night, the bright moonlight shone on the earth, the stars in the sky were in groups, and insects were making pleasant sounds around him, which had a unique artistic conception.

It will be particularly satisfying to ride a horse in this environment.

"Driving!Driving!Driving!"

Thinking of this, Luo Shixin couldn't help but throw the whip, the war horse roared in pain, and raised his front hooves and rushed forward.

I enjoyed the feeling of speeding lightning in my mind.

I don’t know how long I ran!

Arrived at a clear river, the river water was about ten feet wide and the same as the river in my hometown. Luo Shixin was excited to untied his pocket and jumped down with a "thump".

The water level in the center of the river is about three meters, which is suitable for those who can play in the water: breaststroke backstroke and have fun.

When I was a child, I thought of comparing my lung capacity with my younger brother, and seeing who was shallow, I didn’t care about it and plunged into the water and went upstream.

Luo Shixin's physical fitness is really strong, the resistance in the water is equal to nothing, and his lung capacity is amazing. He persisted for five or six minutes before he could not hold on and jumped out of the water.

"Ye!"

"ah!"

Luo Shixin's eyes were still blurred, but he heard the neighing of a war horse and the exclamation of a woman in his ears. Then a slender figure fell from the sky and smashed towards his head.
