39. The king of Qin marched into the military camp, and there was a dispute in the court

Last time, he said

Liu Wenjing was defeated and lost to Gao Shu

Li Shimin waited for the defeated army to return

It is said that after Li Shimin contacted Liu Wenjing, he learned the news that the shallow water plain was in ambush and Gaoshu City had fallen, which could be described as angry and worried, but there was no way to do it even after the defeat, but at this moment he was worried about Yin Liu's several general soldiers, thousands of troops were easy to obtain, but it was difficult to find, not to mention that Yin Liu was the founder of the country, if he died in a war or was captured alive, it would be worse than defeat.

After sending the adjutant general to meet him, Li Shimin was restless in Qizhou City, originally dissatisfied with the anger of several general soldiers who sent troops privately, but at this moment he prayed in his heart that they were only defeated and their lives were not in danger.

In this way, Li Shimin, who has been in turmoil since he contacted Liu Wenjing at noon, spent this day.

The next day, Li Shimin, who was tired, got up early.

asked the guards, but someone came to tell the news, the guards shook their heads, and Li Shimin was even more anxious.

The most feared thing is not that there is news, and that the whereabouts are unknown.

Hastily used the prisoner to go to the garrison camp outside the city for a few days, as soon as he arrived at the barracks, looked at the small camp, and went out of Beijing to take away 100,000 horses, and now he has not seen the enemy There are less than 30,000 troops left, and it is bitter.

Before entering the wounded barracks, I heard a wail from a distance, and the smell of erosion and blood wafted out of the distance.

With a wave of his hand, Li Shimin went in bitterly in his heart.

He is not a young man on the battlefield, and he has seen a lot of death and blood, but this time, he has bitter words in his heart.

It was he, the commander, who fell ill, that caused the army to be so aggrieved in defeat, and he, the commander, had never even seen the enemy.

"See the ...... of the Great Marshal"

"See His Royal Highness the King of Qin......"

……

The simple and honest, hard-working soldiers saw Li Shimin coming, hurriedly helped each other and struggled to get up.

Li Shimin has always been tolerant and loving, and immediately busily excused himself.

There was silence in the field, no one spoke, and as far as the eyes could see, more than 1,000 soldiers in the dirty camp were sitting on the ground, and at this time of lack of medical care, the seriously injured had already died, and those who survived were either fatal, disabled, or slightly injured.

"Soldiers, you are all warriors, you have not retreated without a fight, you have not been captured and surrendered, you are all my Tang Dynasty warriors, and you are all good men in Guanzhong." After a pause, "This defeat is the fault of this king." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar, how dare the prince admit his mistake and ask for guilt.

Li Shimin pressed his hand, "All the soldiers may be wondering why our army has been stationed outside the city of Qizhou for more than ten days, and they have never seen this king show up." As soon as these words came out, the wounded soldiers and several generals all looked up at Li Shimin.

At this time, Li Shimin said another news that caused everyone to be in an uproar.

"Because the king is sick, and when the two armies are facing each other, the king is sick with malaria."

The soldiers were in a commotion.

"Ah, the prince is infected with malaria......"

"Oh my God, it's ...... malaria"

"Ah, malaria is contagious, ...... the prince"

"You goods, the prince is very kind to us, and he won't pass it on to us."

……

There was a commotion.

"That's right, it's the disease of malaria that kills you, you don't need to panic, this king's disease has been cured."

When everyone heard this, there was another uproar.

"Did you hear that, the prince has malaria and there is nothing to do, the whole village of my grandfather's life died of malaria, but there are only a few strong escapees left for my lord."

"That's, who is the prince, that's the god descended from God."

Li Shimin raised his voice again: "This king has survived the malaria disease, you must also hold on, and when you turn around, this king will ask the court to give double compensation to the injured and give ten acres of land, and the court will be benevolent and will definitely agree." "King Qin is a thousand years old, King Qin is mighty".

"King Qin is a thousand years old, King Qin is mighty".

……

The crowd was overjoyed, wasn't it just to eat and that reward when they were the big soldiers these days?

Li Shimin smiled and left, leaving the rest of the soldiers with a majestic and tall back.

If Li Pojun is here, he must sigh, a good one to buy people's hearts and spread prestige, my generation is not as good as it, and he is worthy of a generation of heroes.

Li Shimin's trick is very high, and he doesn't know how many birds there are in one stone.

First, he is already generous, and the grievances of this defeat are abnormal.

The second is to explain the reason why he never showed up in his condolences, saying that he was seriously ill, and it was not easy to attack those princelings in the court.

The third is to appease the soldiers here, you can gather the morale of the army, after the defeat of the army, there will be bad mood, when you are the commander of the king of Qin, Li Shimin to appease can also stabilize the morale of the army.

Fourth, he announced the bereavement, under the pretext of asking for his own performance, and he also won the gratitude of the soldiers, and received the favor, in fact, the court would have given him a compassionate pension without Li Shimin's invitation.

The fifth is the most important point, to win people's hearts and spread prestige, he Li Shimin is the most capable of fighting in the royal family, with great military achievements, and has great prestige in the army, so that the sergeants and soldiers in the army will love him more and respect him more.

However, the great advantage is that Li Shimin's small trick can be obtained, maybe this is the way of the general, the art of the emperor.

As soon as he got out of the gate of the wounded barracks, a puff of dust rolled up from the direction of Qizhou City, and he rode over, and Li Shimin fixed his eyes and saw that it was the adjutant general sent to meet Yin Liu's defeated army yesterday.

A few steps forward, the general was dusty, full of fatigue, and almost fell off the horse, Li Shimin hurriedly held on.

"The end, the end will not dare," he said. The nameless lieutenant broke free from Li Shimin's support.

Li Shimin said urgently: "It's okay, how is Yin Liu Qianjun, can it be received, and what is the situation."

The adjutant general also knew that the situation was urgent, "The commander has arrived, General Yin is coming behind with about 8,000 remnants of the army, and the last general is worried about the urgency of the marshal, so he came to report the news alone."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the whole army was not annihilated, and asked: "Then why did you come from the direction of Qizhou."

"The last general thought that the marshal was in Qizhou City, and the fast horse went directly to the city, but learned that the marshal was here, and for some reason he transferred to the camp."

Li Shimin nodded, thinking about Yin Liu's defeated army, and ordered: "You go back to the camp to rest, and afterwards the king should take credit", so he let the deputy general go back.

As a result, the lieutenant general thanked him but stopped talking and did not leave.

Li Shimin couldn't help but say: "If there is anything else, you can talk about it together."

"Big, marshal, there are no generals Liu and Dou in the front army." The news that the adjutant general said shocked Li Shimin.

Hurriedly asked: "Where are the generals Liu Dou?"

The adjutant general said sadly: "The generals Murong Luohu and Li Anyuan were killed, and Liu Hongji, the general of the Right Xiaowei, was captured. There are only a few Yin Liang and Liu left in the eight general soldiers."

When Li Shimin heard this, he shouted bitterly, originally thinking that although the thousand troops were killed, the general would survive. Unexpectedly, a few general soldiers were killed.

Ignoring the persuasion of the people around him, he beat his horse back to his residence.

After returning to Qizhou Mansion, Li Shimin sat at the desk, ordered people, wrote a chapter by hand, explained the military situation, and pleaded guilty to himself. Although the major crime of this battle lies with Yin and Liu, as the commander-in-chief, he has an inescapable responsibility.

In the afternoon, Yin Kaishan Liang Shi finally led the defeated army back to Qizhou City, was attacked and killed in the narrow road, only 8,000 remnants of the 50,000 army fled back, and more than 40,000 soldiers were lost in the first battle.

In the face of several people's pleas, Li Shimin had nothing to say, since he had been defeated, further punishment would only lose the hearts of the people, and the gains outweighed the losses.

I had to settle the wounded soldiers and reorganize the remnants of the army.

…………

Datang Chang'an City

People come and go at the city gate, showing the style of the big city in the world, the peddlers and pawns, the scholars are strong and strong, and there is an endless stream, it seems that the war ahead has not affected the normal operation of this majestic city at all.

On the straight and wide avenue, a dusty horse galloped in.

A hoarse voice shouted "The war is urgent, passers-by give way".

Passers-by hurriedly stepped aside, in ancient times, if you didn't give way on the avenue, you were hit by a Pegasus post boy and died, you deserved it, and there was nowhere to redress your grievances.

Pegasus went directly to the gate of Daming Palace, dismounted and shouted: "Battle report ahead, pass on Your Majesty quickly."

There was a special delivery staff at the palace gate, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly sent the official document in the briefcase to Li Yuan of Taiji Palace.

……

The court was in a commotion, discussing it one after another, and the news on the battle report that had just been handed over blew up the court.

When the battle was approaching, His Royal Highness King Qin, who was the commander-in-chief, was actually seriously ill. What's even more outrageous is that the two general soldiers of Yin and Liu actually took the lead in disobeying the military order and sent troops privately, and in the end, the 100,000 army actually suffered more than 70,000 casualties.

Wang Qi, the prince of the prince, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister participated in the crime of the defeat of the King of Qin, as the commander-in-chief, he did nothing, and the army died seven or eight of them before he met the enemy, which is really a big crime, please punish Your Majesty and strip him of the post of Shangshu Ling, so as to set an example." As soon as the performance was over, several princelings came to second.

This Wang Qi is a staunch supporter of Li Jiancheng, unswervingly supporting Li Jiancheng, and his position is also that of the prince. At this moment, he naturally won't let go of the opportunity, and his invitation is even more vicious.

In the first year of Wude, at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was named Shangshuling, General Youyiwei, King of Qin, etc., which can be described as very generous, among which Shangshuling is a civil servant, so that Li Shimin has a place in the civil service of the center of power, but Li Shimin's arm. Wang Jue, the old fox, knew that Li Shimin's prestige in the army was very high, and he could not be easily shaken, so he changed his direction, but now Wang Jue asked Li Shimin to deprive him of the post of Shangshuling, which can be regarded as cutting off one of his arms, which is very vicious.

Next, Li Shimin defended him, saying that the King of Qin was suffering from malaria, and it was especially difficult to save his life, so how to talk about leading the army, it was all Yin Liu's crime of disobeying military orders and sending troops without authorization.

The two parties were arguing, Li Yuan had a headache, and he was also very aggrieved in his heart, Datang was defeated in the first battle, and his face was also hot and painful, and thinking of Li Shimin's malaria and almost dying, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he still cared about these excellent sons.

A shot of the dragon case, "Quiet, what kind of system is such a dispute in the court, this matter will be discussed again when the King of Qin returns to the dynasty and retreats from the dynasty." After speaking, Li Yuan waved his sleeves and left.

The aura of the ministers below was stagnant, and Wang Qi and the other princelings couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that it was difficult to bring them down. At this time, taking advantage of Li Shimin's absence in the court did not take the initiative and did not work, it would be even more difficult for him to come back.

Some of the ministers secretly rejoiced, and some of them retreated from the court.

…………

Speaking of Li Pojun, it is difficult to decide the court over his father's affairs, and his father is now secretly sad in Qizhou City, a hundred miles away.

In the back garden, a sturdy boy is wielding a halberd like the wind, and it is Li Pojun.

In the pavilion next to her, a gentle and quiet young woman, holding a cup of tea, was looking at the child in the field lovingly, her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and it seemed that she should be pregnant.

The mother and son didn't know that the pillar of the family was already a defeated general at the moment and was being attacked. Until the arrival of an uninvited guest in the evening.

Predict the future, please see the next time!
