Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 21 The Yuwen Brothers

The two sides approached, and the atmosphere was futilely tense.

Guo Shiheng did not hold his own courage and launched an attack directly, because he saw tens of thousands of soldiers and horses behind Li Zhiyun.

In this pursuit, he had not won a game. He knew that he could not explain it when he returned to Luoyang, so he hoped to take advantage of this last time, but the opponent's tens of thousands of horses made him hesitate.

"General Guo, we are outnumbered by the enemy, and it is not good for us to attack by force." Wang Xuanshu wiped sweat on his forehead.

Guo Shiheng nodded, stepped forward, raised his gun and asked, "Who is coming!"

"You are the one who came." Li Zhiyun teased with a smile.

Guo Shiheng was speechless for a moment, where is this Nima, he can still joke about it, is the ambush of the three ambush lines really done by this young man?
It doesn't look like it.

Li Zhiyun took two steps forward and said, "General Guo is brave, why is he loyal to the bandits, and besides, he is still a fool."

Guo Shiheng was not well-known in history, only a few strokes, but he did not expect that he would be able to rival Sheng Yanshi.It can be seen that Wang Shichong was able to defeat Li Mi later, not only by taking advantage of the danger of others, but also one-third of the credit for the generals under his own command.

"My allegiance is to His Royal Highness the King of Yue." Guo Shiheng said.

"And who was the one who gave you the order?"

Guo Shiheng was at a loss for words.His mouth is far better than his hands.Furthermore, Li Zhiyun is right.

Li Zhiyun dunly taught: "General Guo, it is too late to look back now. Wang Shichong's ambition will never be subservient to others. If time passes, he will definitely seek divine weapons. Why don't the general return to Chang'an with me, support the young master, and restore the great Sui Dynasty. Woolen cloth."

Guo Shiheng was speechless for a while, but Wang Xuanshu scolded Li Yuan for being an ambitious man who usurped the Great Sui Dynasty.Wang Xuanshu is the second son of Wang Shichong, so it is reasonable to say so.

Seeing this, Li Zhiyun lamented in his heart.Even though he knew who had great talents, but he couldn't win over in time, it had to be said that this was a kind of helplessness.

Both sides have their own fears, so they did not fight against each other.After two hours of stalemate, they each retreated.

The end of February in the [-]th year of Daye, and the end of February in the second year of Yining.

Li Yuan's idea of ​​stealing chickens failed, and Luoyang became a battlefield for Wang Shichong and Li Mi.Shortly after Li Zhiyun and others withdrew, Li Mi led an army of [-] to attack Luoyang.

While Li Mi was rushing to repair Jin Yongcheng, he sent people to attack Luoyang.Many warriors under his command, such as Xu Shiji, Qin Shubao, Shan Xiongxin, etc., were all brave men, and Wang Shichong, who killed him, complained incessantly.

However, relying on the strength of Luoyang, Wang Shichong was able to keep this foundation after all.And Lu Chu, Duan Da and others are sure that they can't attack Wang Shichong now, otherwise Luoyang will not be guaranteed.

After returning to Chang'an, the three brothers Li Zhiyun were not punished by Li Yuan.Among them, Li Jiancheng, who admitted his mistake, was instead invited by Li Yuan to the emperor Yang You, and he was named a minister of justice.

Li Shimin and Li Zhiyun also received a lot of rewards.

"Yeah, I'm really ashamed to be called a child." Li Zhiyun held the gift list and smiled wryly.

Li Yuan said: "The kerosene, steamed bread slices, and fried noodles you offered are all great merits. My son can still bear this reward."

Li Shimin did not shirk, he defeated Xue Ju, and he took such a little gold and silver silk without any pressure.

"In the end, it was my father who didn't see the situation clearly and attacked hastily, and this was the only way to lose." Li Yuan sighed.

Li Jiancheng comforted: "Aye don't have to blame himself, this time when the army was deployed in a hurry, the child's command was not good, and it was a big mistake."

The father and son confessed to themselves, and Li Zhiyun was full of slander in his heart.

Spring ploughing was just around the corner, and Li Yuan also temporarily stopped his offensive steps, and let his sons keep an eye on the cultivation of the people everywhere.

This kind of thing is naturally the responsibility of Prince Tang.Li Jiancheng just screwed up the Eastern Expedition, and urgently needs to do something to restore his prestige.Li Shimin was not interested in spring ploughing. He wanted to summarize the pros and cons of this war, and then prepare for the Eastern Expedition.

As for Li Zhiyun, his position is still the Minister of the People's Republic of China.However, both Duan Zhixuan and Xie Shufang under his command were promoted this time, and they were named the Duke of Chu's Mansion to lead the army.Xue Shou, Xue Yuanjing and Du Ruhui's establishment, Li Zhiyun also asked for it from Lao Li.

Although Li Zhiyun did not have the qualifications to open a mansion and appoint his own subordinate officials, but the Duke of Chu's mansion in Connaught University needed one or two people to help him with his staff affairs, which Old Li could understand.Even Li Yuanji was escorted by old Li, a long history Yuwenxin, commander Dou Dan, Li Zhongwen and others to assist.

I, Li Zhiyun, want one or two little-known people to assist me, which is very reasonable.

However, Li Shimin felt a little strange, because Fang Qiao recommended Du Ruhui and Xue Shou to him.

However, at that time, he was busy to give Xue Ju a scoop, so he didn't follow up on this matter. He didn't expect that Du Ruhui and Xue Shou would both become the fifth son.

Of course, Li Shimin didn't have any regrets in his heart. There are so many talents in the world, and they are not inferior to those three melons and two dates.

Soon after, the news of the Luoyang War came back to Chang'an. Li Jiancheng was working in Tanaka and was speechless for a long time after hearing the news.

When he first sent troops, he hesitated.Later, the second child was going to send troops. He thought that he could not always give the second child the opportunity to make contributions, so he wanted to go to the battlefield in person.Too bad it almost screwed things up.

Now Li Jiancheng doesn't have much malice towards Li Shimin. He just doesn't want the second child to be in the limelight. Who is the eldest brother?Who is the Prince of Tang?

Moreover, every time I think of that groundless rumor, Li Jiancheng's mood becomes very bad.

"The prince doesn't need to think too much, as long as you do a good job, the king will keep it in your heart." Wei Ting said softly.

As a good friend of Li Jiancheng, he can naturally understand the former's concerns.Qin Guogong walked all the way, and had a lot of military exploits.There is at most one Duke of Chu who can stand by his side in the army.Moreover, the military exploits of the Duke of Chu are not as great as those of Duke Qin.

This makes people very uncomfortable, especially since the prince himself has not been able to show his military merit.

This is not the contradiction between the two of them, it is their sense of crisis.

"I hope so." Li Jiancheng shook his head, disbelieving his second child in his heart.

It's just that Li Jiancheng is also thinking about his younger brother, whether he thinks too much.But every time he recalled what happened to Yang Yong and Yang Guang, he felt fear from the bottom of his heart.

Duke of Chu.

Li Zhiyun's current itinerary is probably to first go to the Ministry of People's Dianmao, then go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to deal with things with Lao Li, and finally return home to do his own things.But there was nothing major in the past two days, and he didn't need to worry.

Moreover, Lao Li asked Liu Wenjing and Zhang Shigui to travel through Henan, and the effect was obvious, which made Lao Li very happy.

"Chu Gong, today's meal, or simple?" Yu Wenwen came up and asked.

After the Yuwen brothers were captured, they decided to surrender within two or three days.Since they were abandoned by others, they naturally wouldn't lick their faces and go back to their allegiance.

Li Zhiyun exchanged the captured Luoyang soldiers for the family of the Yuwen brothers, which made them very grateful.

At present, Yuwen Wen is serving as Shangshi of the Duke of Chu, and his elder brother, Yuwen Rutong, is serving as the rafter of the Duke of Chu.

Li Zhiyun's personal studio, the humble shelf was finally built.
