Chapter 100 Gold and Iron Horse
The outline of Fenyang Palace can be seen from a distance in Luliang Mountain.

And under the siege of Fenyang Palace, the layers of white dome tents stretched to the horizon like a sea of ​​clouds.

Shuo Qi came from the north, Hu Qi chirped and chirped, and 20 Turkic cavalry gathered here, murderous!
The [-] to [-] coalition troops of the princes from various counties came here, and they were stunned to see this scene.

Everyone was terrified and did not dare to go any further, but Fan Zigai adopted Li Shimin's suggestion and set up false banners, stretching for dozens of miles, so that the Turkic people did not know the details of the Sui army. This made the princes [-] miles away from the Turkic army In the place, set up a stronghold and set up a tent far away.

The distant sound of Hujia, along with the sudden north wind, floated into the tent of the Sui army.

"Under the golden wolf banner in the center is Shibi Khan's dental tent. If this man's head is beheaded, I, Li Shimin, can marry the princess."

Li Shimin held a horse lance and said loudly.

These words can be described as shocking, the Sui army was overwhelmed by the momentum of the Turkic cavalry, such generals as Wang Rengong and Yun Dingxing dared to speak out, but Li Shimin wanted to behead Shibi Khan.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said: "Brother Shimin is very ambitious, but..."

"But what?"

Li Chongjiu laughed mockingly: "I heard that you are already married."

Li Shimin smiled nonchalantly when he heard this, and said: "The princess was willing to come out to meet her when I rescued Princess Changle that day. Maybe she is interested in me. If I don't try my best, I will not be reconciled."

Li Chongjiu was taken aback, he didn't expect Li Shimin to take the initiative towards Duke Changle.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Brother Li, with Shimin's current achievements, it is absolutely impossible to marry the princess, but the world is in chaos now, and there are many heroes everywhere, so it may not be a chance."

Li Chongjiu was surprised.

Li Shimin smiled, raised the horse in his hand, pointed to Luliang Mountain in the distance, and said: "Look at the mountains and rivers, which are picturesque, who doesn't want to embrace them, but the beauty of the country and the city is hard to put down, a hero in the world , Why don't you want to hand over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, Bo Hongyan smiles."

Li Chongjiu nodded and said: "Who doesn't want Jiangshan and national beauty, brother Shimin, do you love Jiangshan or beautiful people?"

Li Shimin smiled, and instead of answering, he said: "When I was four years old, a scholar told my father that I had the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and that I had the appearance of the sun and the sky. If I was crowned at a young age, I would be able to help the world and the people. Therefore, my father sent me named Shimin."

Li Chongjiu has heard this passage several times, but it is different from this Tang Taizong himself.

Li Chongjiu said: "It is a great ambition to help the world and the people. It is easy to seize the country, and it is difficult to help the world and the people."

When Li Shimin heard what Li Chongjiu said, his expression was shocked, and he said: "Brother Chongjiu, you really are my confidant. After the world is in chaos, it is difficult to put the world down, and it is even more difficult to bring order from chaos."

"Right now, the warlords are separatist, and the Turks are watching. If I draw my sword right now, how many years will it take for the world to be peaceful?"

Li Chongjiu said in his heart, Li Shimin, you are really 'foresighted', not to mention anything else, you seem to have forgotten your brother, and you are thinking about the change of Xuanwumen so soon.

However, Li Chongjiu thought about it, and based on the history books, he said: "About 30 years."

Li Shimin interrupted Ma Qian and said, "If, as you said, you know your destiny at fifty, I am 20 years old. If I can live to be 50, I will use ten years to pacify the world, ten years to raise people, and ten years to raise the people." A year of great rule in the world is enough! This is my lifelong ambition."

Li Chongjiu nodded.

At this time, Li Shimin said: "Brother Li, you dared to bluntly say that the emperor is a foolish emperor in front of my father that day. I knew you were ambitious, so I told you frankly. My father still wanted to take you into my Li family." Your Majesty, but I know that Your Excellency will not be driven by others because you have ambitions in all directions."

Li Chongjiu glanced at Li Shimin, thinking that he was worthy of being the future emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he immediately saw through his current ambition to take advantage of the Li family's power to skyrocket.

However, Li Chongjiu is not resolute. It is not easy to win the world. If it is difficult to achieve great things, it is not bad for him to attach himself to the Li family and become a prince of thousands of households in the future.

Of course, Li Chongjiu would not admit it face-to-face, and said: "I have no ambition to do business. But if you have no power in business, you are just a fat sheep raised by the rich and powerful, and you can be slaughtered at any time. Therefore, I hope that your lord can take care of everyone." Just two."

Li Shimin laughed, noncommittal.

The next day, [-] reinforcements from Shangdang County of the Sui Army arrived, and the morale of Fan Zigai was greatly boosted.

Although poorly equipped and lacking in training, the Sui army still launched an assault on the Turks with 20 cavalry.

In the direction of Fenyang Palace, Yang Guang personally commanded the [-] Imperial Guards of the Great Sui Dynasty, taking advantage of the situation to break through, and the Sui army attacked twice.

Immediately, 30 troops and horses fought in this square inch.

On the prairie, the sound of the bell beats the sky, and thousands of horses are galloping.

After Li Chongjiu contradicted Fan Zigai, Li Yuan was also embarrassed, so he asked Li Chongjiu to go into battle and only let him guard the camp.So Li Chongjiu had a lot of free time to watch from the sidelines.

The battle of these 30 troops is far better than the blockbuster films produced by Lord of the Rings and other technologies in the future.

When the war drums sounded, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but feel excited when he watched the Sui army's thousands of troops shouting, singing big horn songs, and charging towards the Turkic cavalry.

Gold and iron horses are what men want.

The [-] Sui troops assembled in various counties fought hard for a whole day, with nearly [-] casualties, but the result was that the entire front was repelled by the Turkic army without an inch of progress.

And anyone can see that the Turks still haven't used all their strength to guard Shibi Khan's tent, and the most elite affiliated army has not moved a day today.

Just that, the Sui army could no longer stand it.

Right now, inside the Sui army's tent, there is mourning everywhere, and the Sui army who was wounded in day-to-day fighting is crying and crying.

In this era without antibiotics, the fate of being injured is even worse than dying directly on the battlefield.

Even Li Yuan, Li Shimin, Li Zhiwan, Chai Shao and others, when they returned to the army tent, the Li family's army looked downcast.

Just after the war drums stopped, Fan Zigai recruited Li Yuan and others to the big tent to discuss.

But judging from Li Yuan's eyes, the battle situation cannot be resolved through negotiation.

Inside Fenyang Palace.

The imperial guards of the Sui Dynasty failed to break through.

Yang Guang took off his golden armor and sat down on the dragon chair with a dejected expression.

Everyone who served Yang Guang in the palace knew that the emperor would kill people without asking why when he was in a rage, so he retired early.

With no one around, Yang Guang couldn't help shouting: "Come here! Come here!"

No one answered, Yang Guang was about to draw his sword in anger.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry."

At this time, a beautiful woman Yingying walked in front of Yang Guang.

Yang Guang looked at this woman, and felt a little apologetic in his heart, and said, "Queen, the Turkic people are powerful, I'm afraid we won't be able to break through."

This beautiful woman is definitely Empress Xiao.

Empress Xiao advised, "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and he has failed the expectations of the world. How can he say such despondent words?"

"I know that Your Majesty can't abandon the maids. I'll wait for the women and children to break through. Please don't think about us. Your Majesty will not be the Overlord of Chu, but all the courtiers and concubines are willing to be concubines."

Hearing what Empress Xiao said, Yang Guang's hard-hearted heart suddenly turned into soft fingers, and he couldn't help weeping, it was indeed what he meant just now.

Yang Guangchang sighed and said: "When the country is in trouble, I think of a good general. If Yang Su and Changsun Sheng are still there, how would the Turks dare to go south to herd horses!"
