The 740th second decisive battle ([-])

p: ask for a red ticket

They ran wildly all night again, people could survive but the horses couldn't bear it. [w.os.cm me] Wan Yulou had no choice but to order to rest, and happened to pass a town at dawn, calculated the distance and ran nearly [-] miles in one night, and it would not be difficult to reach the rest of the distance if you hurry up.He simply asked everyone to find an inn to sleep well for half a day.

After ordering the staff to feed the horses, Wan Yulou and the others got into bed and fell asleep without even eating.This sleep was extremely sound and sweet, if he hadn't specifically told the guys to wake them up at noon, maybe everyone would really sleep for a day and a night.

Upon waking up, Wan Yulou immediately groaned in pain.

pain

There was no pain anywhere in my body.

It was not far from the easternmost river and traveled thousands of miles to Xiangyang day and night. If it wasn't for each of them riding in pairs, if their horses were not strong enough, they would have died of exhaustion many times if they were ordinary horses.He didn't even take off his clothes when he was sleeping, and Wan Yulou realized that his pants were stuck to his thighs when he got up.The buttocks and the inner thighs were all worn out, and the new flesh was stuck to the clothes, and it was hot and painful when I moved.

Not just him, almost everyone.

I have been carrying on the road hard, except for being tired and sleepy, I don't feel much pain, but after sleeping for half a day, this kind of pain is actually a little unbearable.He opened the package and found a clean suit, then grinned and took off the pants stuck to him.

The white flesh exposed from the broken skin looks shocking, and I dare not touch it.Wan Yulou took out the wound medicine from the package and applied it, then put on the pants carefully.Glancing at the warm blanket, his eyes were full of reluctance.Looking at the soft quilt, Wan Yulou suddenly remembered something, and then a mean smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He immediately called over a dozen of his subordinates, gathered together and whispered for a while.Everyone froze for a moment, and then all showed the same cheap smiles as him.A dozen or so people were whispering, like a group of rats about to do something bad.

After changing their clothes, everyone didn't eat at the inn either.I bought a lot of steamed buns and cooked meat and went on the road again. After a rest, I embarked on the road of rapid march and became more fatigued.The crowd gritted their teeth and resisted, and ran out for more than a hundred miles in one breath.Then they fed the horses and rested for a while. Thinking of the bad things they did before they left the inn, they could barely laugh when they were so tired.

By the middle of the night, everyone had really reached the end of their battles.Fortunately... Xiangyang City has arrived.

After being stopped by the patrolling cavalry, Wan Yulou showed the badge of the Military Inspection Department, and after a while, he was led into the camp and arranged to rest in a tent.The people who were too tired almost fell asleep again after lying down, and they didn't care about the pain in their bodies, as if they were falling apart.

While they were sound asleep, His Royal Highness King Yan came to the door of their big tent in person.After opening the curtain and looking, Li Xian waved his hand to signal his subordinates not to wake Wan Yulou and the others.After ordering the soldiers to cover them with quilts, Li Xian turned and walked out of the tent.

The generals who followed behind him were all a little emotional. It only took such a short time to rush from Jiangdu to Xiangyang. This shows that Wan Yulou and the others are really desperate. This kind of quality undoubtedly makes all the soldiers respect.

"Youan"

Li Xian glanced back, smiled and said lightly: "Gu Ting... When you were in Taiyuan, you and Li Shimin had the best personal relationship, but that's it?"

Li Xiaogong, who was walking behind him, trembled slightly, and his face changed: "Yes... When I was in Taiyuan, I was really close to the second young master. He lived in the old house in Longyou since he was a child, and he didn't know many acquaintances after he arrived in Taiyuan. .At the beginning, I went back to Longyou several times to study his knowledge, so he treated me more closely."

"Yesterday's battle... Do you have any reluctance in your heart?"

Li Xian asked again.

Just yesterday, Li Xiaogong, who first arrived outside Xiangyang City, mobilized a battalion of more than ten thousand cavalry to raid the camp of King Qin's army. There were more than [-] cavalry, and they killed more than [-] horse and infantry soldiers of the King of Qin.

In any case, this battle is not too intense.But Lee Hyo-gong used this battle to express his attitude, it doesn't really matter whether he wins or loses.

"I'm not unwilling, it's just that the soldiers are exhausted. I didn't fight well this time. My lord, please forgive me."

"Where is there any crime that can cure you, you can rest your heart in your stomach."

Li Xian smiled and said: "Gu called you here tonight, not to blame you, not to test you, and not to be bored...Gu just arrived in Xiangyang, and I need to ask you something."

"The minister is terrified"

Li Xiaogong bowed his head and said.

"How is the combat power of the soldiers under Li Shimin's command?"

"Returning to my lord, Li Shimin's troops are all camping on the east bank of the Han River. And my minister's troops are on the west side of the Han River. During yesterday's battle, I sent people to cross the river for [-] li to attack Li Shimin's camp. But Li Shimin was on guard. , the raid failed and was almost trapped by the enemy. The [-] cavalry sent by the minister lost more than [-] men when they came back. Leading the army to respond, it is almost difficult for the ten thousand cavalry to retreat to the west of the Han River."

"Although the enemy's equipment is not very sophisticated, their morale is high. Those soldiers have been fighting for a year, so their combat power is not bad."

"If the lord hadn't arrived, I would have planned to make another surprise attack tonight."

Li Xian hummed, noncommittal.

About three hours before this, Wan Yulou and others were in the inn where they rested for half a day.A guest rushed out of the room and yelled at the shopkeeper: "What kind of broken inn are you? You don't even have a good quilt to open an inn?! Damn it, are you looking down on me?!"

The shopkeeper ran over quickly, and when he saw the quilt in the man's hand, the expression on his face suddenly became exciting.Before he could explain anything, six or seven people rushed out from several other rooms, hugging the quilt and yelling.

I saw a butt-shaped hole in each of those quilts...

Wan Yulou, who was sleepy, got up to pee. When he sat up, he felt soft on his buttocks, so he realized that he had put something on. He pulled the cut out cushion out of his trousers, and got out of the tent to urinate.When I came back, I felt pain in my buttocks when I sat down, so I stuffed the cushion back.

"This thing is so good...Used for riding horses during the day and sleeping at night...Dual use for day and night, and dual use for day and night..."

A certain fat man muttered and fell asleep again.

……

……

"Lord"

Pei Xingyan clasped his fists and said: "The minister sent twelve teams of scouts across the river to check. The enemy's company camp is about nine miles away, with antlers and horses. The camp has laid foundations and built an archery tower every fifty steps. A lot of pits were dug outside, obviously to guard against cavalry raids. Rangers patrol the camp every half an hour, and the guards are heavily guarded. The west of the enemy camp is just a stone's throw away from the Han River. big."

Li Xiaogong couldn't help but sighed slightly when he heard this sentence, he couldn't help but respect Yan Yunjun in his heart.

After such a short time, the situation at Li Shimin's camp was almost settled.Especially when he heard that Li Shimin dug a lot of horse pits outside his camp, it made his face slightly hot.If I had inquired so clearly beforehand, maybe the battle yesterday would not have nearly ruined a battalion of cavalry.

Li Xian nodded after listening, and then looked at Ye Huaishu.

Ye Huaixiu nodded slightly and said softly: "I have seen the scouts left behind by Wu Bushan who are in charge of liaison. The secret spies will sort out the enemy's information and send them over later. Wu Bushan is cautious and careful in his work. The news that arrives is very important.”

Li Xian hummed and said: "Li Shimin formed a defensive formation next to the Han River, and this move is beautiful. The camp is a stone's throw away from the riverside, and it is difficult for our troops to rush up. Outside the camp, it is difficult for a scattered attack to tear through the enemy's defense... If you want to fight, you can only go around and cross the Han River."

He frowned slightly and pondered for a while, then waved his hands and said: "Let the soldiers rest completely first, and continue to send scouts across the river to check. You all go back first, and we will discuss the raising of accounts tomorrow."

"Here!"

All the generals stood up and clasped their fists to salute, then retreated one by one.

After everyone left, Li Xian asked Ye Huaishu, "Worried about Li Xiaogong?"

Ye Huaixiu nodded and said softly: "This person was on good terms with Li Shimin when he was in Taiyuan. At the beginning, Li Yuan sent him to hunt down and kill Li Shimin. In fact, it was because of this... From the very beginning, Li Yuan probably didn't intend to kill Li Shimin. If he really intends to kill Li Shimin, it would be more appropriate to send anyone over than Li Xiaogong. I didn't go into details just now, but I was worried about Li Xiaogong... the battle yesterday was just a show."

"It's not unreasonable to worry."

Li Xian nodded: "What's the news from Wu Bushan?"

"Wu Bushan sneaked into Li Shimin's camp with almost all the secret spies, and has already contacted Dugu Ding... The people from the sixth department are responsible for contacting Wu Bushan, and are also responsible for cleaning up other spies."

"Assassinate Li Shimin, are you sure?"

Li Xian was silent for a while and asked.

"Disaster!"

Ye Huaixu shook his head: "Maybe it's because of Han Shi'e that there are many more guards around Li Shimin now. Yu Chigong stays around him day and night, and the secret spies sneak in again. It's extremely difficult to assassinate."

"Where's Guan Shu?"

Li Xian asked.

"Guan Shu has entered Xiangyang City."

Ye Huaixiu couldn't help admiring: "This man is not courageous, he sneaked into Xiangyang City alone without any subordinates... On the day of the decisive battle between Li Shimin and Xu Xuanche, the defenders of Xiangyang City went out to meet Xu Xuanche, Guan the tree is there
