First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 402 Capture Liu Heita Alive

...

Liu Heitai was cautious, and had never removed his armor at night since his defeat. When the riots first started, Liu Heitai stood up.

"Your Majesty, retreat quickly," the commander of the personal guards rushed in and shouted hastily: "Li Shimin has come in."

"Idiot", Liu Heitai scolded angrily: "Li Shimin is still in Guanzhong, how could he be here? The thief must be calling him Li Shimin. Hurry up and blow the trumpet to gather troops."

The commander of the personal guard hurried out after hearing the words.

"Where are the ten virtues?" When Liu Heita came out of the tent, he saw soldiers rushing here and there, and there was a commotion, so he shouted: "My king, Liu Heita, come here quickly, don't panic."

"Your Majesty, General Liu is still drunk and already trapped in the tent." The guards looking for Liu Shishan reported in horror, "The fire is too big to be rescued."

Liu Heitai's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart. After all, Liu Shishan is his brother of a compatriot.

It was too late to grieve, Liu Heikai shouted loudly, trying to gather his troops, but the fire in all directions, coupled with the rush of the Raoyang Mansion soldiers, how could the defeated Handong Army listen to it.

No matter how Liu Heitai shouted to command, after all, he couldn't restore the collapse.

"Your Majesty, retreat quickly," the personal guard pulled Liu Heita and left.

Looking at the flames around him, Liu Heitai knew that Zhuge Dewei in Raozhou had turned against him. He was in Raoyang City with no soldiers, so how could he get out.

At this time, Zhuge Dewei had already led his men to kill him.

"Liu Heitai, I respect you as a hero, you can't bear swords and swords, just capture it without adding more humiliation," Zhuge Dewei said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.

Liu Heikai smiled, "Zhuge Dewei, for the sake of serving you with all your heart today, I will bestow this credit on you."

"Your Majesty...", the left and right guards were shocked when they heard this.

Liu Heitai waved his hand and sighed sadly: "The general situation is over, there is no need to add more casualties, let's surrender."

Zhuge Dewei was overjoyed, turned sideways to get out of the way, stretched out his hand and said: "The brave general is really a hero, please."

Liu Heitai dropped the horizontal knife and strode forward, when he passed by Zhuge Dewei, his footsteps stopped, Zhuge Dewei suddenly became nervous.

"Speculation is not the right way," Liu Heikai said solemnly: "My head can't save your life."After all, he closed his eyes and tied his hands.

Zhuge Dewei was shocked when he heard this, and felt uneasy.

But the matter has come to this point, there is no other way, Zhuge Dewei sent a fast horse to Zhaozhou overnight to inform Huaiyang King Li Daoxuan, and re-erected the banner of the Tang Dynasty, announcing that he would belong to the Tang Dynasty.

Overnight, Raozhou changed hands again, and Liu Heita was captured alive. After the news spread, Hebei shook and the world shook.

Zhaozhou, Pingthorn City, Li Yuanji, who was toasting and drinking, couldn't help being stunned when he heard the news.

"Raozhou? The king didn't meet Liu Heizai when he came here?" Li Yuanji's eyes widened, he was both shocked and regretful, and then yelled: "This king should know that he will go to Raozhou. Let Zhuge Dewei take it."

Thinking of this, Li Yuanji felt great resentment in his heart, such a world-famous achievement just passed by, and by the way, Li Yuanji was extremely unhappy with Zhuge Dewei, the governor of Raozhou, because he thought that Zhuge Dewei had taken away what should have been done. It belongs to him the credit of King Qi.

Guo Xiaoke secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't look down on this king of Qi, but because of his status, he wouldn't say anything.

But as a cousin, Li Daoxuan didn't see outsiders like that, he just muttered: "Fourth brother doesn't have to be like this, that is also Zhuge Dewei's due credit."

Li Yuanji is one year older than Li Daoxuan. Hearing this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Who are you talking to? If not for the shock of my king's army, how could Liu Heita go to Raozhou to capture Liu Heita, and I will live here The first achievement".

Hearing these words, everyone couldn't help being stunned, Guo Xiaoke looked sullen, and was about to turn back, when Li Jing on the side gently tugged Guo Xiaoke's sleeve to show patience.

The two had known each other at Hulao Pass, but after fighting side by side this time, their relationship became even closer.

Guo Xiaoke had no choice but to clenched his fists and muttered nothing.

Li Daoxuan frowned, and didn't say much, he knew Li Yuanji's temper, and it was not Li Yuanji's decision on how to distribute credit.

On the original trajectory, Liu Heita made a comeback after borrowing troops from the Turks, killed Li Daoxuan, quickly occupied the entire territory of Hebei, and re-established Mingzhou as his capital.

There were many powerful generals and famous officials in the East Palace. After a series of conquests, Liu Heita retreated steadily and fled to Raozhou, where the governor Zhuge Dewei captured him alive.

Now with Li Jing's participation, the original trajectory has been changed. Li Jing detected the intentions of the former Duke Shi Wanbao in advance, and asked the governor of Jizhou, Jia Dunyi, to send troops to win a big victory in Xiabo.

Like Han Han, Li Yuanji led soldiers from Shandong swaggeringly into Hebei, and forced Liu Heitai to Raozhou by mistake, and finally returned to the original track. Liu Heita was defeated, and when Liu Heita and others were full of wine and food, they relaxed their defenses and captured him alive.

Liu Heita, who could have ruled Hebei again, was defeated several months earlier because of the appearance of Li Jing. In Guanzhong.

And Gao Chong is the little butterfly that changed these trajectories.

Chang'an, Prince Wu's Mansion.

Du Fuwei was lying on the sickbed, his face was ashen, his eyes were empty, he hated Li Yuan, and even more ruthlessly helped Gong Er.

Du Fuwei, who was born recklessly, had no ambition to become king and emperor, he just wanted to protect himself, but when the situation was overwhelming, seeing that Li Tang's unification of the world was inevitable, Du Fuwei made up his mind to enter the court.

In order to prevent Li Yuan from crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, Du Fuwei deliberately left the Jianghuai Army as a backup.

Unexpectedly, the Jianghuai army turned against them.

Since Fu Gong Er rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, many rumor officials in the court have come to advise Li Yuan to execute Du Fuwei, king of Wu.

Li Yuan was very moved. After all, as the leader of the Jianghuai Army, the Jianghuai Army rebelled, and Du Fuwei could not escape the guilt. Fortunately, King Qin and Yan Guogong tried their best to dissuade Li Yuan from making up his mind.

But Du Fuwei had a clear mind. He knew that if he didn't die, Li Yuan would not feel at ease. Under the depression of his mind, Du Fuwei, who was in his prime of life, couldn't afford to get sick.

Hearing that Du Fuwei was seriously ill, Li Yuan sent an imperial physician to diagnose and treat him. The imperial physician inadvertently said: "Your Majesty doesn't think about tea and rice, but I don't know if he misses Jianghuai fish?"

Du Fuwei was shocked when he heard the words, and his heart was very sad.

After the imperial physician left, Du Fuwei looked at the dagger in his hand and sighed, "Time is also fate".

At this moment, only a mutiny was heard, and the screams of the servants were vaguely heard.

"Is it so impatient?" Du Fuwei couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
