Chapter 670 Eight Brothers and Sisters Returning to Chang'an

Dugu Yirou's body fell limply, and fell to the other side of the dead wood.There was a dagger stuck in her heart, which was Li Shimin's personal weapon.Ever since he knew that Li Xian, King of Yan, had at least dozens of ways to save his life, Li Shimin also felt that he should do the same.So he also has a buckskin pouch on his body, which contains poison and a dagger.

Li Shimin looked at Dugu Yirou's body, thinking about the conversation between the two just now, then shook his head with a wry smile.He knew that Dugu Yirou must have noticed before he was ready to kill, so she pretended to be happy and attached to him.

But it was too late, Li Shimin's temptation had already been answered, and Dugu Yirou woke up a bit late, so even if she wanted to make up, it would be meaningless.

The current Li Shimin, apart from being unable to kill himself, maybe there is no obstacle for him to kill anyone, as long as his interests are touched, even close relatives can be killed.

He killed Dugu Yirou because now Dugu Yirou has no value of existence.There is no shortage of women around him, so naturally he doesn't need to be obsessed with a disfigured woman.Even if she puts on the long red dress again, even if she is the only one who can dance that Tian Lai Fan Dance, she is no longer the original her.

As Li Shimin said just now, getting along with two people who taste like flesh in their mouths is actually a very disgusting thing, no one may be able to bear it.

After killing Dugu Yirou, Li Shimin did not leave, but sat down on the dead wood again and stared at her corpse in a daze.Sitting like this for half an hour, he didn't wake up from his contemplation until Yu Chigong brought someone to find him.

When seeing Dugu Yirou's body, Yu Chigong was obviously taken aback.

"My lord... this is?"

His face was full of disbelief, and he never thought that he would see such a scene anyway.When Li Shimin walked out of the big tent, he followed behind with his guards.Seeing Li Shimin sitting next to Dugu Yirou, he couldn't stay any longer, so he left with his guards and stood guard in the distance.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Han Shie came to Li Shimin to discuss military affairs before he approached.In any case, he never thought that he would see a dead body.

"Buried."

Li Shimin didn't explain anything, but stood up and said something lightly, then walked slowly towards Daying, as if Dugu Yirou's death had no effect on him at all.Yu Chigong opened his mouth wide in surprise, watched Li Shimin's back and swallowed with difficulty, and couldn't help asking: "My lord...do you want to punch a coffin?"

"No need."

Li Shimin's footsteps paused, but he didn't turn his head: "This forest is beautiful, and it's buried here. For her, the coffin has no meaning."

Yu Chigong didn't understand what this sentence meant, but he didn't want to disobey King Qin's order.They sent someone to dig a hole in the woods, threw Dugu Yirou's body into it and covered it up.Yu Chigong always felt that Dugu Yirou's eyes were fixed on his face, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and fled back to the camp in a panic.Ever since he assisted Liu Wuzhou, killing people is useless, when would he be afraid of a corpse, but today, he always felt that Dugu Yirou's eyes were so fierce and terrifying.

After returning to the big tent, Li Shimin seemed to have forgotten what happened just now, his face was calm, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth when he saw Han Shie.

"what's up?"

he asks.

"Nanzhang Guard General Qi Shuming sent someone over just now. My lord, you are not here, so I met the envoy. The envoy said something important. I dare not make decisions on my own, so I have to ask General Yuchi to look for you."

"Oh?"

After sitting down, Li Shimin asked, "Why did Qi Shuming send someone here? It can't be to beg for surrender."

"It's just to beg for surrender."

Han Shi'e said: "Qi Shuming sent envoys to come, saying that he dare not stop the Lord's army, dare not offend the Lord's military power, after careful consideration, he decided to surrender to you for the sake of tens of thousands of people in Nanzhang City."

"That's really great!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help standing up again: "Where is the messenger?"

"It's just outside."

"Call him in quickly."

"Lord!"

Han Shie looked at Li Shimin, hesitated and said, "This is not right."

……

……

This year, the section of the Yellow River from Hedong to Dongping County has been quiet and honest, or because of the severe drought in the upper reaches, there has been no flooding, and the people on both sides of the river feel more at ease.But the absence of natural disasters does not mean that the people will be safe and healthy. Before the end of the troubled times, the most common disasters are man-made.

At the end of June, Dou Jiande, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom in Hebei, personally led an army of 40 across the Yellow River, posing a massive attack on Dongping County, the base of King Li Xian of Yan.All the people along the river on the south bank moved into Juye Ze for refuge. Now, on the ground south of the Yellow River, there is no one in sight except soldiers.

But even if Dou Jiande crossed the Yellow River, the control of the river is still in the hands of Yan Yunjun.Su Shengcai's navy has hundreds of warships. Although he fought against Dou Jiande for a while and lost some ships, his scale and combat power should not be underestimated. Dou Jiande went south with a large number of ships, but most of them were fishing boats. There were no real warships. How many.

After Su Shengcai made way for the river, Dou Jiande was able to go south.But when the Xia army arrived at the south bank, Su Shengcai led the navy to raid the Xia army's fleet. Relying on dozens of five-toothed ships and hundreds of yellow dragon clippers under his command, he brutally slaughtered the Xia army's navy on the water. For a while, thousands of people were killed, hundreds of ships were destroyed, and then they went down the river and entered Juyeze again.

Dou Jiande was out of breath, but there was nothing he could do about it.

But what angered him the most was not Su Shengcai's cunning, but Yuwen Shiji's cunning.

No matter how realistic his appearance was, Yuwen Shiji just didn't withdraw his troops back to Dongping County to garrison.Instead, he stood still on the outskirts of the Eastern Capital, and Dou Jiande's plan to lead the Yanyun Army back to defend and break the siege of the Eastern Capital fell through.He can only lead men and horses and Yuwen scholars to fight tough battles. If it is just a Yuwen scholar, it will be fine, but because of his arrival, Tang Jun and Yan Yunjun are fighting against each other. Now Li Daozong and Yuwen scholars are together. The battle is really hard to fight.

If it's not easy to fight, we still have to fight. Hundreds of thousands of troops are going south. If we don't take advantage of the fact that the main force of Yanyun's army is in Chang'an and take the opportunity to gain a firm foothold on the south bank of the Yellow River, and wait for Yan Wang Li Xian to take Chang'an before leading his army back, I'm afraid It will be difficult for him to develop further south.

The land of hundreds of battles in Hebei has never stopped since the eighth year of Daye.Famous generals Yang Shanhui, Yang Yichen, and Xue Shixiong at the end of the Sui Dynasty all led their troops to fight against the rebels on this land. After these people died one after another, Yan Wang Li Xian began to harass them.

The people cannot live in peace, the land is exhausted, and it is difficult to expand the strength with the land of Hebei. Relying on the current territory Dou Jiande to support 50 horses has reached the limit. If you want to increase troops, you must increase the territory.

Luo Yi doesn't try to make progress, but sticks to Zhuojun.The Youzhou soldiers were also very good at fighting, and Dou Jiande went north several times but failed to reap the benefits.Besides, Zhuo County has been squeezed by Luo Yi like scraping land for years, and it is extremely difficult to feed the five thousand tigers. Even if he wins Zhuo County, it will not be of any benefit to Xia Guo.

The only option is to go south.

But there was a fierce tiger entrenched on the south bank of the Yellow River, and he dared not move lightly.

If Wang Shichong was not in danger, he would not have made up his mind to go south.

What stood in front of him was 20 coalition troops. Li Daozong and Yuwen Shiji were all famous generals in the world. In fact, Dou Jiande didn't have much certainty of winning, but he also had no way out.

"I plan to transfer Wang Fubao's men back."

Dou Jiande glanced at his brother-in-law Cao Dan, and couldn't help but sighed.Cao Dan is generally considered a qualified general, but his vision is not broad enough, and his thinking is not cautious enough. Against a famous general like Daxi Changru, successive defeats are justifiable.

"There is a shortage of generals in the army, so it is meaningless for him to confront Daxi Changru. After all, this time he is here to relieve the siege of the Eastern Capital. It would be a waste to spend troops in Dongping County."

Cao Dan hummed, but felt a little dissatisfied: "Wang Fubao guarding the rear is not meaningless. Although Daxi Changru has not many soldiers, only 3 or [-], if no one is guarding him, there is no guarantee that he will not harass the army. Back way. I planned to rob Dongping County and Dongjun for military use, but now I haven't robbed a few grains... If the grain road is cut off by Daxi Changru, the army will be in danger."

"That's a mature and prudent statement."

Dou Jiande thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you think?"

"Your Majesty can personally lead the army here to stand against the bandits, and then send a general to lead the army to bypass the bandits and surprise Xingluo Cang. Xingluo Cang has tens of millions of grains. If Xingluo Cang's army is captured, there is no need to worry about food Not good."

"A strategy is a good strategy, but who can be the general?"

Dou Jiande shook his head and said: "We still have to transfer Wang Fubao back. If Cheng Mingzhen doesn't run away, he is a suitable candidate."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this important task!"

Cao Dan said in a sincere tone.

Dou Jiande originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that both Tang Jun and Yan Yunjun were restrained by him, no matter who attacked Xingluo Cang by surprise, there would be no difference, so he nodded and said: "Very well, I will give you [-] elite soldiers , must win Xingluocang!"

……

……

On the Yellow River, when the soldiers of the Xia Army Navy were still busy repairing the damaged ships, the Yanyun Army Navy who had just raided the water village a few days ago appeared in their sight again. There was chaos in the village.The general who led the army hurriedly sent troops to fight, and then mobilized
