Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 509 Will You Protect Me Forever?
Chapter [-] Will you protect me forever
"Li Jiancheng has come to Hedong!" For Dou Jiande, this is absolutely bad news that couldn't be worse.Even if Li Jiancheng led the Xue Wanche Division of the Jingzhou Army and the Yang Wen Division of the Qingzhou Army, the two cadres together only had more than 1 troops, but they put great pressure on Dou Jiande.

If in later generations, if we want to say who is better between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin brothers, nine out of ten people will say that Li Shimin is better without hesitation. However, in the eyes of Dou Jiande, ten Li Shimin can't compare with one Li Jiancheng.Historians commented that Li Jiancheng was as calm as still water; Li Shimin was as fierce as fire.

Li Shimin, who was as anxious as fire, lost one to Xueju, two to Li Mi, three to Song Jingang, and four to Liu Heita in the military.According to historical records, when Li Shimin first fought against Xue Ju, Li Shimin suffered from malaria and was sick in the barracks. He entrusted the military power to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, and asked them not to send troops easily. But the two did not obey their orders and sent troops without permission. As a result, they were attacked by Xue Ju in Qianshuiyuan and were defeated. Five or six out of ten soldiers died, and many generals were captured.Li Shimin had to lead the remnant soldiers back to Chang'an, causing "turmoil in the capital" (the beginning of this book)
In this big defeat, Li Shimin, no matter whether he was sick or not, the responsibility for the defeat of the arrogant soldiers cannot be shirked.Besides, with Li Shimin's strict rule of the army, and Liu Wenjing serving as his deputy for a long time, is there any reason for disobeying the general's order and sending troops without authorization?Moreover, in this battle, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan and other key members of Li Shimin's direct lineage all participated. With their loyalty to Li Shimin, without Li Shimin's approval, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan would not be able to transfer a single soldier. move.

Li Shimin's much-vaunted defeat of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang by Hedong Dao was actually the result of Gaozu Li Yuan's personal conquest.At that time, Li Shimin not only had no achievements, but also lost the battle, and was removed from the post of Taiwei.Li Shimin sent his troops out to loot and slaughter the city, which made him notorious.When suppressing Liu Heita's rebels in Hebei and Shandong, he was almost captured alive by Liu Heita's rebels.

In the end, the prince Li Jiancheng's kindness and power went hand in hand. The prince "knowledges the release of the prisoners, releases their families, comforts them and sends them away, and the hearts of the people are determined."In one fell swoop, the rebel forces in Shandong and Hebei have been suppressed for many years.In the seventh year of Wude, Emperor Gaozu ordered Li Jiancheng to go out of Qinzhou, and Li Shimin to go out of Bingzhou to attack the Turks.As a result, Li Jiancheng won a big victory, while Li Shimin was defeated by the Turks and lost Bingzhou. Zhang Jin died in battle, was scolded by Gaozu, and Li Yuanji replaced Li Shimin's Shandaoxingtai.

Many people don't understand the historical facts, and wantonly boast that "Qin King Li Shimin conquered the Tang Dynasty..." In fact, there are historical materials to prove that half of the Tang Dynasty was brought down by Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong, and Li Xiaogong swept the south of the Yangtze River like a blanket.Shandong was surrendered by Li Shentong, and Lingzhou and Hexi Nineteen Prefectures were brought down by Li Daozong.After careful calculation, apart from the contradictions and loopholes in the Battle of Mangshan and the Battle of Hulaoguan, Li Shimin's military achievements can be counted on the fingers.However, after the Xuanwumen Incident, the military genius Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong was also put under house arrest by Li Shimin.

Dou Jiande certainly didn't know the whitewashing of Li Shimin in later history books, but he knew that Li Jiancheng of Tang Dynasty was very powerful. Charged into the battle, took the lead in battle and made outstanding achievements.Li Jiancheng took the lead in breaking through Chang'an, laying the military foundation for the Tang capital to command the world.Historian He Mufeng said: "As the eldest son of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng made outstanding contributions when the Tang Empire was not established. It can be said that if Li Yuan had not completed the construction, it would be difficult to become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. That is to say, only with Li Jiancheng The later Tang Empire."

Dou Jiande asked with a gloomy face, "Where is Li Jiancheng now?"

Ling Jing thought for a while and said, "Li Jiancheng crossed the Yellow River in Yuqiang, Longmen, and now he has arrived at Baibi. However, his soldiers did not stop. Instead, he unexpectedly turned to the north. After passing through Jiangzhou, he did not seem to stop, and continued to go north. Look at the posture, he wants to be stationed in Jinzhou (Linfen today)!"

Dou Jiande stared at the sand table, looked at the topography of Jinzhou and murmured, "Do you think Li Jiancheng will give up the land of three states in the south of Jinzhou?"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Ling Jing shook his head and said, "At this moment, Li Jiancheng has no choice at all. He can only win. He can't afford to lose. Once he loses, his position as the crown prince will be shaken!"

"Yeah, Li Jiancheng can't afford to be defeated! But I can't afford to be defeated either!" Dou Jiande tapped the sand table and pointed at the city of Jinzhou: "I have already guessed Li Jiancheng's purpose. Jinnan all the way to the north, kill to Hebei!"

The Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with hundreds of mountains interconnected, thousands of peaks towering, and thousands of ravines deep.At the same time, Shanxi and Hebei were divided into two worlds. However, the ancient Chinese ancestors successively opened up Xing paths in the thousands of miles of Taihang Mountains to connect the east and the west. The most famous ones are Jundu Xing, Puyin Xing, Feihu Xing, Jingxing, and Fu. Kouxing, Baixing, Taihangxing, Zhiguanxing, etc., known as Taihang Baxing in ancient times, are the eight throat passages through which the three provinces of Shanxi, Hebei and Henan crossed Taihang Mountain in ancient times. They are important military passes on the border of the three provinces.

Ling Jing exclaimed, "Li Jiancheng wants to take Baixing?"

"It's possible!" Dou Jiande said with deep eyes, "Nowadays Hebei is empty, even if Li Jiancheng leads a mere [-] troops, he can turn Hebei upside down."

Ling Jing thought for a while and said: "That's what he said, but he thought that Baixing is not easy. Baixing has three thousand guards. It is not easy to defeat Li Jiancheng, but it is also very difficult for Li Jiancheng to break through Baixing."

Dou Jiande smiled slightly and said, "As the enemy changes, so do we. Don't they want to attack Hebei? Then we will snatch Li Yuan's lair!"

……

In Xingyang, on the third day after Chen Ying occupied Xingyang City, a group of about three or four hundred cavalry Xia Jun cavalry appeared outside Xingyang City. Without Chen Ying's order, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui respectively led the hooked and spear cavalry to outflank the city, but the opponent But he retreated quickly, but he didn't run away. After running a certain distance, he stopped on his horse and waited. As soon as Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui's troops walked back, they chased after him again.

The scouts of the Xia army cavalry are light cavalry. If they fight a decisive battle with the hooked and sickle lancers, the same number of hooked and sickle lancers can torture them to death. It is a pity that these Xia army cavalry are very smart. They played with Chen Ying The trick of "the enemy advances and we retreat, and the enemy retreats and we harass" does not mean to fight recklessly with the cavalry of the Tang army.Of course, this is mainly because the number of Xia Army cavalry is too small, and the Tang Army cavalry in Xingyang City has more than 6000 people, which is twenty or thirty times their Xia Army cavalry.

It was dusk, Luo Shixin rode back to the city, and Zhang Shigui had already set up an ambush ten miles away from the city, but this time the cavalry of the Xia army did not come after him, making the ambush seem like nothing. As soon as night fell, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui entered the city together, and Chen Ying reported the situation of the battle.

Chen Yingdao: "The enemy has become cautious."

Luo Shixin said angrily: "They're all a bunch of cowards, they're so useless!"

"No!" Chen Ying shook his head and said, "It is the most correct way for them not to confront our Sickle Lancers. They are not looking for opportunities with us at the moment, they just want to find out where we are going. Dou Jiande must be very worried at this time. Let us now abandon Xingyang and cross the Yellow River to the north."

"What does the general mean?" Zhang Shigui asked: "We don't need to pay attention to them?"

"No!" Chen Yingdao: "Since Dou Jiande is so worried, you might as well scare him! At dawn tomorrow, the whole army will disperse, search for warships everywhere, cut down wood to build rafts, and make a posture that they are ready to cross the Yellow River at any time. Tomorrow three o'clock will be assembled immediately, all the way to the west, to kill Luoyang!"

When Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui came out of the Xingyang government office where Chen Ying stayed, it was already close to Zishi.Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui separated, one of them was stationed in the south city of Xingyang, and the other was stationed outside the north city.

Just when Luo Shixin led the cavalry guards and was about to pass through the northern city, he suddenly heard mournful cries from a private house on the side of the street, and a young woman who was not too old shouted: "My lady, Ladies, don't be too hard on yourself, come quickly, help me!"

When Luo Shixin heard this, he identified the direction and ran away following the sound, followed by Luo Shixin's personal guards, and came to an inconspicuous courtyard. Luo Shixin pointed at the door, raised his foot and hit it.

The door panel, which was nearly two fingers thick, couldn't bear Luo Shixin's heavy foot at all, and the door panel cracked at the sound.

Through the flickering candlelight, Luo Shixin saw a white silk hanging from the beam of the room. A woman in a green skirt wrapped her neck in the white silk. An inexplicably fourteen or fifteen-year-old maid-like woman was holding the woman legs, howling.

Luo Shixin broke into the door suddenly, frightened the servant girl and fell to the ground, rolled her eyes and passed out.

Luo Shixin didn't have time to believe it carefully, so he swiped his gun.The sharp spear blade cut off the white silk without hesitation, and the woman who lost the restraint of the white silk fell from the air.

Luo Shixin hurriedly put his arms around the woman in Ruqun to prevent her from falling from the beam and hurting the ground. When the guards saw that there was only one maid and one servant in the house, they gave Luo Shixin a look that any man could understand and left the house one after another.

Looking at the two unconscious women, Luo Shixin, a man who had slept on the mountain of corpses, bathed in blood, and could not let him blink because of his army, felt awkward at this moment.

Looking at the shocking strangle marks on the woman's neck, Luo Shixin couldn't help but look at the woman's face, and was fascinated by it for a while.It's not that Luo Shixin has never seen beautiful women, like Li Daozhen, Li Xiuning, including Hongxiu, Lvzhu, even Gao Wenjin and Xu Erniang, they all look good.

Li Xiuning is graceful and luxurious, and her beauty is so gorgeous that people dare not look directly at her.Li Daozhen is heroic and valiant, Xu Erniang's little family is Biyu, sisters Hongxiu and Lvzhu are like porcelain dolls.As for Laner, she is the little girl next door.However, among the women Luo Shixin had seen, none of them could be compared with the woman in his arms.

I don't know how long it took before the little girl woke up slowly. She looked at Luo Shixin and asked timidly, "General, are you the general of Datang?"

This call finally pulled Luo Shixin out of his fantasy, Luo Shixin couldn't help but blushed, nodded and said: "I am Luo Shixin, General Xuanwei of the Great Tang Dynasty, what's wrong with your wife, you want to commit suicide?"

The little maid looked at the woman in Luo Shixin's arms and shook her head.Of course it wasn't that she didn't know, but she didn't dare to say it.

Luo Shixin also felt that it was inappropriate for him to hold such a woman. After much deliberation, he finally gently handed the woman to the servant girl.

Cui Yingying's eyelashes trembled, as if desperately trying to get out of that nightmare.This nightmare is too realistic and terrifying.In her own family, although her father is not the most valued one.But she has always been the object of attention in her own family, among her peers in the entire Seven Schools and Five Wangs family!No one would wrong her, even her own brother gave way to her everywhere.Needless to say, her parents love her.

As an aristocratic daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, she couldn't control her marriage, and finally married Zheng Zhongmian of the Zheng family of Xingyang as his wife.It's just that she never imagined that this time she got married and encountered the first nightmare in her life. She encountered so many hideous faces, so many people were injured, so many people died, so much blood, and so many girls around her were forcibly dragged away. Walking away screaming and mourning...

Pairs of lewd and beastly gazes seemed to still be around her, and pairs of dark hands stretched out from all sides towards her.Judging from her 16-year-old caring life, she has never encountered it!Her self-esteem and her pride cannot be desecrated by these things.He seems to have put a knife to his heart?
And then... At the cost of more than a hundred people being killed in battle, the general at home finally protected her and hid in the Zheng family in Xingyang. She thought that her nightmare would be over, but she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

A large number of soldiers from the Xia army rushed into the Zheng family. It's a pity that the Zheng family in Xingyang, which has seven sects and five wangs, passed on the scriptures to the family, but no one stood up to stop the Xia army soldiers from committing violence. My future husband Zheng Zhongmian, known as the young man of the Zheng family An outstanding student, Zheng Zhongmian, who is both civil and military, was scared to pee in front of him.

When those evil hands reached out to her, her future husband actually pretended not to see them.There is nothing more sad than death, just when Cui Yingying was about to kill herself, the thirteen surviving Cui family members protected herself and killed the Zheng family.

Cui Yingying didn't know how she got here these days. She and her confidant Ding Dong hid in Tibet, and she didn't get any support from the Zheng family. She finally survived until the Xia army retreated, but received an ultimatum from the Zheng family to get married on an auspicious day.

Cui Yingying exploded now, she would rather marry a dog butcher than a cowardly coward like Zheng Zhongmian.She would rather use death to break free from this shackle-like marriage.

Finally freed.

Cui Yingying felt inexplicably relaxed.

In the boundless nightmare, she seemed to be constantly falling downwards, but at the most critical moment, a pair of powerful hands suddenly hugged him, preventing her from sinking into the bottomless abyss.

Those arms are very strong, very secure, and very warm...

She slowly opened her eyes, only to feel that there were shaking shadows in front of her eyes.After a little panting, my throat hurts surprisingly every time I took a breath, and I almost passed out again.She didn't even dare to groan, and waited for the swaying figures in front of her to gradually become clearer.

A majestic man with a height of more than eight feet, wearing a silver Mingguang armor, holding a long black spear in his hand.

It took her a while to make out what was in front of her.A personal servant girl has quick eyes.Seeing Cui Yingying wake up, she shouted happily: "My lady, you're awake, it's great that you're all right, thank God!"

Cui Yingying rolled her eyes, but she still couldn't figure it out.Fragments of memories in a trance floated in my mind, but they couldn't be combined.It seems that there are hands that hug him from the cold and despair...

Thinking of this, the girl forgot the pain, bit her lip and rolled her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Cui Yingying was startled.Only then did she realize that she was not dreaming, because she saw the shadow of Luo Shixin, there would be no shadow in the dream, and there would be no warmth that could be felt.

Cui Yingying bit her lip, looked at Luo Shixin, and asked cautiously, "Did you save me?"

Luo Shixin nodded dully: "Yeah!"

Cui Yingying said again: "Will you protect me in the future?"

When Luo Shixin heard this, his heart almost jumped out.He nodded heavily and said, "Yeah!"

"It's not a day, it's not a month, it's not a year!" Cui Yingying said seriously: "It's a lifetime, it's forever."

Cui Yingying was very nervous and looking forward to it.She knew that in her capacity, it was very difficult to find someone she loved to marry.She was even more afraid that Luo Shixin would reject her.

Obviously, Luo Shixin is not a person to disappoint, he nodded solemnly and said: "I am willing, don't worry, with me here, no one dares to hurt you!"
