Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 413
Li Shimin was sitting by the river, leaning on a sword in his hand, lowering his head to the water, looking at the reflection in the water.

The left eye of the man in the water was covered with a black eyepatch, which added a bit of fierceness to the originally handsome face. "I feel quite murderous wearing this eyepatch." He laughed at himself, and reached out to touch the eyepatch again. Tried to adjust the position.He asked without turning his head, "You said that if I took 2 people to the south of Pyongyang, would I be able to capture Pyongyang, and if I captured Pyongyang, would I be able to escape unscathed?"

Li Xiuning looked at this younger brother with some distress. His originally cheerful personality has changed a lot during this time.Although in person, he still tried his best to appear indifferent and free and easy, but she knew that many times when no one was around, he would smash things in the house, or ride a horse to a place where no one was around, and hack with a sword.

Li Shimin did not get a reply, and he was not discouraged, and continued to say, "To be honest, I really admire Luo Cheng. Although this person is from the Luo family in Xiangyang, he grew up in Zhangqiu. , since I was a child, I only learned blacksmithing and never learned bows, horses, swords and guns, let alone the art of war."

"But this guy seems to be born to be a warrior. He suppresses bandits, suppresses thieves, trains soldiers and fights. He is good at everything. This battle of Liao Dynasty seems to have only made him Luo Cheng and Luo Yi Li Jing, and everyone else It was their supporting role, even Mai Tiezhang Xin Shixiong lost his life, and Yu Wenshu Yu Zhongwen came to protect his children and wait for his official and noble title to be lost."

"Luo Cheng was able to win because of courage and luck." Li Xiuning finally spoke.

"Luck? It's really important to be a general, but I think the real ability is more important. If Luo Cheng didn't have real skills, he wouldn't have so much luck. I have carefully collected a lot of Luo Cheng's experiences of going south these days." , and the process when he fought Pyongyang, I think if I bring 2 people south, it will be very difficult to win. First of all, I have to have a high prestige, so that in the atmosphere of such a big defeat, 2 people will die Follow along."

"Secondly, to break Pyongyang, the most important thing is to be bold and take risks, take advantage of the enemy's emptiness, and open the city gate by fraud. If the outer city does not open the city by fraud, Luo Cheng's 2 troops will not be able to defeat Pyongyang at all. As for Luo Cheng's initiative in the future Abandoning Pyongyang, destroying the city and leaving is so wonderful that people can't help applauding. This guy is really a natural talent."

"He will be your brother-in-law soon. Don't call him Luo Cheng Luo Cheng or that guy all the time. You have to call him brother-in-law and be polite."

Li Shimin curled his lips, "Sister, I will call him brother-in-law in person, but I will never admit that he is my brother-in-law in my heart, because he is not worthy of you at all."

"Since ancient times, no matter the origin of a hero, Shimin, you shouldn't be so petty. Luo Cheng is indeed from an ordinary background, but it is because of this that he is more and more remarkable. An Eastern Expedition is like a big wave washing the sand. How many family honors have been washed away? The incompetence of a noble-born general demonstrates Luo Cheng's greatness. He is able to become the Duke of Qi today because of his own ability. He is truly self-made. We have no right to look down on him. It's just that I'm not good enough for him."

"Sister, he deserves you."

"What's not worthy, our family is the Duke's mansion, and now he is the Duke himself. Our family's Duke's title was won by the bloody battles of our ancestors, while others' Duke's title was won by ourselves. Shimin, if one day you can earn the title of duke yourself, then you may be qualified to comment on your brother-in-law like that."

A trace of anger flashed in Li Shimin's one eye.

"Sister, one day, I will also become the duke of the country with my own ability."

"Okay, sister is waiting for that day to come, Shimin, it's getting late, let's go back, don't make father wait in a hurry."

The emperor's troops returned to the court, and millions of soldiers and civilians also withdrew to the pass.

Li Yuan changed from the prefect of Xuantu County to the prefect of Liucheng County. Although Li Yuan didn't show anything, Li Shimin was very dissatisfied. He thought it was because the emperor looked down on his father.

Otherwise, why let Luo Yi come to take over as the prefect of Xuantu, but let his father stay away from Liaodong and come to Liucheng to be the prefect?
"Sister, that day Chai Shao asked his elder brother to drink, and got very drunk, and he cried when he was drunk."

"Oh." Li Sanniang just replied lightly.

"Sister, you know that my father originally promised you to Chai Shao, and even the two families knew about it long ago. Chai Shao always thought he would marry you, but now my father asked you to be Luo Cheng's concubine. Not only do I think Humiliated, Chai Shao also feels that he and Luo Cheng have hatred for taking his wife."

"I've never been formally engaged to Chai Shao, let alone married him. How did you say that you took your wife? Shimin, don't associate with Chai Shao anymore, let alone talking nonsense together."

"Sister, Chai Shao said that sooner or later he will have a duel with Luo Cheng."

Li Xiuning stopped and looked at her younger brother.

"Chai Shao can't beat Luo Cheng. He shouldn't let go of this matter. If he can't let go, then he will never have a big future."

The breeze blew past, brushing a few locks of Li Xiuning's hair, causing her hair to fly wantonly.

Li Shimin asked with a playful smile, "Sister, have you really never liked Chai Shao?"

"Children's marriage, the orders of parents, and the words of matchmakers, there is no reason to give and receive privately. I was not familiar with Chai Shao before, and I will not be familiar with him in the future."

late October.

Luo Cheng, who had been away from the Central Plains for nearly two years, finally landed at Penglai Port in Donglai County by boat.

The boat came to a stop, but Luo Cheng stood there in a daze.

"Fifth brother, the boat has docked." Xiaoliushixin reminded him.

"Oh." Luo Cheng came back to his senses, looked at the water port, and at the countless Donglai officials, gentry, powerful merchants who came to greet him on the pier.

When he left the Central Plains, he was just an eighth-rank military Sima the size of a sesame seed, but when he came back, he was already the famous Qi State Duke Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng is the only one who has returned his posthumous title of Zhongwu while still alive.

At the pier of Penglai Port, the commanders and academies of the 20 Donglai Navy were waiting in line. Although the emperor issued an order to stop the troops, the navy did not dare to disband before Luo Cheng arrived.

Standing on the boat, Luo Cheng looked at the generals and schools one by one, and thought to himself, this is a 20 navy, and behind him are [-] soldiers of the left and fifth armies who have experienced hundreds of battles for the rest of their lives. If you raise the flag of rebellion, how many people will follow you?
The time has not come, the time has not come.

If it was a few years later at this time, maybe Luo Cheng would really have raised the flag.

It is a pity that if he dares to raise the flag now, it is estimated that even the more than [-] soldiers of the Left Five Army who followed him in Liaodong for the rest of his life, not many people will really follow him and shed their blood to rebel.

It's a pity that the 20 army will be disbanded and return home after tomorrow.
