Man Tanghong

Chapter 210 Li Shimin 'Zoomed Up'
Sun Simiao turned around and walked out almost without any hesitation. He said that he came to take a bath with Li Yuan, but in fact he came to check Li Yuanji's body. Now that Li Yuanji's body has been checked, there is no need for him to stay here anymore .

Li Shimin began to talk about his old injuries, and Sun Simiao roughly guessed what he would say later, so he was even more unwilling to stay here.

Li Yuanji saw Sun Simiao leaving in a cool manner, and also wanted to leave with Sun Simiao.

But he also knew that he could only think about it.

Li Shimin obviously wanted to "enlarge his move". In this case, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng would not let him leave.

Otherwise, if they were 'captured' by Li Shimin, no one would help them out.

Li Yuanji didn't really want to participate in the fight between their father and son, so Wei Wei 'swimmed' back for a certain distance, leaning against the smooth wall of the soup pool, showing half of his head, trying to minimize his presence , silently watching Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin's fight.

Li Shimin asked Li Yuan a question, and seeing Li Yuan sitting in the water with an ugly face and not answering, he smiled and said: "This arrow wound was when we entered the main pass. It was left during the battle."

Li Jiancheng gritted his teeth with a gloomy face and said, "It's all old stuff, why are you bringing it up?"

Li Shimin didn't pay attention to Li Jiancheng, but looked at Li Yuan with a smile, and said: "I remember afterwards, my father touched my arrow wound and said something earnestly, does my father still remember?"

Li Yuan's face became even uglier, how could he not remember.

Although Li Shimin's arrow wound was not fatal, it was not far from the fatal place. When he found out, he was startled. At that time, he had just lost his fifth son, Li Zhiyun, and was immersed in grief. He didn't want to lose another son. , so hurried to visit.

Li Shimin was injured, but he still wanted to lead the army in person to seize Gudu for him. At that time, he was worried and moved. He thought that having a child should be like Sun Zhongmou. In his eyes, he thought that having a child should be like Li Shimin That's right, so, when he was most moved, he made a promise to Li Shimin in a muddleheaded way that Li Shimin would be his successor.

He was not yet the emperor at that time, and he was not sure whether he could be the emperor, so he didn't know the weight of his promise.

It wasn't until he captured Chang'an City and laid the foundation of Datang that he realized the weight of his promise.

He has a soft ear and can't listen to others' persuasion.

After he successfully took over the throne from the puppet emperor Yang You, Li's clan relatives, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all told him to follow the system, order the elders and younger ones, and establish the eldest son as the prince.

He listened and made Li Jian the crown prince.

In order to make up for his debt to Li Shimin, he gave Li Shimin everything he could give to Li Shimin.

He felt that he had given Li Shimin enough compensation, and he didn't owe Li Shimin anything in this matter.

But when Li Shimin mentioned this matter now, he had no face to face Li Shimin.

Because he didn't owe Li Shimin anything in this matter, but he owed Li Shimin in the following two matters, and he didn't give Li Shimin enough compensation.

Li Shimin saw that Li Yuan's face was getting more and more ugly, but he didn't speak, so he stood up with a smile, showing the large and small wounds on his chest, "It's okay if father doesn't remember, after all, it's been a few years, and father doesn't remember." It's also being cleaned up."

Then he pointed to the large and small scars on his chest, "Does father remember what he said last year when Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande formed an alliance and planned to join forces to attack my Tang Dynasty?"

Li Yuan clenched his fist slightly, gritted his teeth and did not speak.

He also remembered.

At that time, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande formed an alliance with great momentum, and there was a great deal of joint forces, which destroyed Datang's posture.

In order to deal with it, he almost mobilized all the soldiers and horses he could mobilize.

In order to be able to win, in order to allow the soldiers to fight desperately on the battlefield, he made a promise to everyone, and he also made a promise to Li Shimin.

He promised that as long as Li Shimin can defeat the coalition forces of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, as long as Li Shimin can conquer Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, he will take back the crown prince from Li Jiancheng and pass it on to Li Shimin.

In his view, it was okay for Li Shimin to defeat Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's coalition forces, but it was impossible to completely conquer Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

Because although he mobilized many soldiers and horses at that time, he was still at a disadvantage in front of the coalition forces of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

He felt that it was impossible for Li Shimin to come back to him to fulfill his promise.

But after Li Shimin went to war, the impossible became possible.

In the battle of Hulaoguan, Li Shimin defeated the crowd with a few, and with three thousand Xuanjia as the vanguard, he defeated Dou Jiande's one hundred thousand army, broke Dou Jiande's backbone, and also shattered Dou Jiande's courage to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

In this battle, Li Shimin used his resourcefulness, bravery, patience, decisiveness and other commander-in-chief talents to the extreme, which shocked the world and him.

After Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande's [-] troops, he took advantage of the victory and pursued, and quickly conquered Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande at an astonishing speed, and escorted them to Chang'an.

Li Shimin asked him to fulfill his promise, but he couldn't.

Because he felt the pressure from Li Shimin, and because Li Jiancheng was also leading the army at the time, helping Datang to wipe out some remnants of the enemy.

It is impossible for him to deprive Li Jiancheng of the crown prince when Li Jiancheng is leading the army.

He is also unwilling to help Li Shimin, a son who can put pressure on him, to the position of prince.

So he concocted a Tiance general who ranks above the three lords to compensate Li Shimin, and raised Li Shimin high, preparing to hide Li Shimin in the snow like Li Xiuning in the snow.

In the following months, he deliberately avoided Li Shimin and prevented Li Shimin from participating in major political decisions.

Li Shimin also sat on the bench for several months because of this.

"In order to fulfill the conditions proposed by my father, I led 3000 people to take the risk of raiding the 100,000 people camp in Dou Jiande. From the moment of the raid, the heads of me and the 3000 people under my command were already hanging from my waist.

We have no fear, no hold back, not even a complaint.

We entered Dou Jiande's camp of 100,000 people and chased Dou Jiande's 100,000 people for dozens of miles. "

When Li Shimin said this, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and his eyes were a little red.

Li Yuanji could imagine how much courage it would take to raid the enemy's camp of 3000 people with 100,000 people.

If it is dealt with in a different place, he absolutely does not have the courage to do so.

Because if you are a little careless, you will never return.

When he faced the 200,000 Turkic army at Weizeguan, he never thought of going out and fighting the Turkic people.

Because he doesn't have that courage, and few people under him have it.

Li Shimin said that he and the people under his command had their heads pinned to their waistbands. This is definitely not an empty talk, but a big truth.

Although Li Shimin acted out of a plan, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed Dou Jiande by surprise.

But Dou Jiande has a full [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, and he camped on the spot, occupying several miles of land.

When the front army is attacked by surprise, the left army, right army, and rear army can also organize formations in time to resist Li Shimin and his party.

Li Shimin can only completely defeat Dou Jiande after defeating the front army, and then head-on defeating the formation organized by the left, right, and rear armies.

But as long as there is an army that stops Li Shimin and his party from charging, Li Shimin and his party may be swallowed up.

So during the period from the raid to the defeat of the formation organized by the left, right, and rear armies, Li Shimin and his party did indeed pin their heads to their waistbands.

"Here, here, and here are all left over from that battle."

Li Shimin pointed to the several wounds on his body, and said to Li Yuan: "At that time, the commander of Dou Jiande's rear army organized a spear formation to block the front, and the left and right armies gradually moved closer to us holding their spears.

We can only survive if we smash their spears with our chests, smash their spear formations, and smash through their camp.

So we took the chest and broke their spears.

Hundreds of soldiers fell in their gun formation, and I was shot three times. The other soldiers under my command were more or less shot wounded.

With the blood in our chests flowing, we shattered their guns and pierced their camp.

Turning the horse's head around again, and charging once, they broke their courage to fight.

Then he chased them and killed them for dozens of miles before completely defeating them.

After the war, there were 83 soldiers under my command, and all their blood was shed.

But still holding the weapon in hand, he sat firmly on the horseback. "

When Li Shimin said this, his eyes were red.

The blood is all drained, and they are still sitting on horseback, which shows how determined they are to win and how strong their willpower is.

It is possible that when they attacked, they used some method to firmly bind themselves to the horse's back, and they would not die or retreat, and they would not die without dismounting.

Li Yuanji raised his head slightly, and let out a long sigh in his heart.

If he wasn't King Qi of the Tang Dynasty, or Li Shimin's brother, after hearing Li Shimin's words, he would definitely support Li Shimin's ascension.

Li Shimin wanted the position of prince, but he didn't want to grab it, but thought about exchanging credit and life for it.

If there were no such sayings as "orderly seniority" and "the eldest son inheritance system", the position of prince should belong to Li Shimin.

Unfortunately, he is Li Shimin's brother.

There are also sayings such as 'orderly seniority' and 'primogeniture system'.

These sayings have laid an orderly foundation for the inheritance of a family, a family, and even a dynasty.

But it also kills talent after talent.

What's the use of your talents and achievements?

If you were born later than others, you will not be able to compete with others.

If you are still a bastard, even you belong to someone else.
