The herald waved the flag in his hand, and the Tang army launched more than a dozen huge stone-throwing vehicles in front of the formation, and the appearance of the stone-throwing vehicles made the Goguryeo people who had been as steady as old dogs also have some panic, this thing is dropped randomly, now everyone starts to gamble on luck.

The trebuchet stopped outside the range of the bow and arrow, and the black clay pots were quietly placed in the soft pockets under the catapults, and the Tang soldiers cut off the mechanism vigorously, and they heard a "woo" sound, and the huge clay pots crossed a black line in the sky and quickly crossed the high city walls, falling into various places in the city.

The clay pot was filled with special fire oil, and after the jar hit the ground, it shattered with a "touch", and the black fire oil flowed everywhere, just when the Goguryeo people were panicked and covered with loess, the Tang Army archers outside the city had already been under the orders of the generals, and the dense rockets had been fired into the city, igniting the fire oil on the ground, and then there were all kinds of screams, and some Goguryeo soldiers and people who had no time to dodge were ignited to the body, and became a fire man running in terror everywhere, and then slowly became a piece of black charcoal on the ground.

With the continuous launch of the Tang army's oil tanks, the fire in the city of Anshi was raging, the black smoke shrouded the whole city, and there were panicked shouts and screams of the people in the city everywhere, the Goguryeo defenders on the city wall were basically locals, worried about the safety of the family in the city, and the action of defending the city became absent-minded, the Tang army saw this gap, and launched a rapid attack, if it were not for the strong beating and scolding of the generals of Goguryeo and the desperate resistance of the leader, maybe it was really attacked by the Tang army.

When Li Shimin, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, saw the black smoke rising into the sky in Yuan'an City, from him to the hundred officials below showed a satisfied smile, and after a few days of grievances, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Aren't you Yang Wanchun awesome, let's treat you as a king now, and see how long you can stand.

Wars have always been cruel, and behind every victory are countless human lives, and as long as the flames of war are ignited, the only goal of the armies on both sides is victory. The life and death of the people in order to win is never the consideration of the warring parties, and the number of dead people is just a number.

The fire in the city of Anshi is getting bigger and bigger, and the thick smoke is floating to the Chinese army, smelling the choking smoke, Li Shimin's mood is happy.

As an emperor, since he launched a national war, his original heart was pretending to be meritorious, and after being made two by Yang Wanchun, he is now pretending to be face, as long as he can take revenge and come back, he only hates that the fire in the city is not big enough, and there are not enough people burned to death.

Chang'an City, outside the Marquis of Lantian Mansion. A slender young man was communicating with the guards outside the door: "This official wants to go in to visit his fiancée, please be accommodating." ”

Since the siege of the Marquis of Lantian's mansion, this was the first person to come to visit, and the soldier stared at him for a while to report to his superior, and after a while said, "You go in!" ”

The person who came was Pei Xingjian, he had already returned to his hometown to visit relatives, and after hearing the news that Lantian Houfu was surrounded by officers and soldiers, he was anxious and immediately returned to Beijing, and rushed back to Chang'an all the way.

The Pei family has finally produced a talent for so many years, how can he just let him go back, and persuaded him to marry anyway, and now he is surrounded by officers and soldiers, it must be Li Dongsheng who has something wrong, just destroy the family, now you are a Jinshi, I don't know how many people have to wait to marry you, why bother to wade into this troubled water.

But Pei Xingjian couldn't forget that demure girl, who painted gently in the sun, and he decided that she was his partner in his life.

When Li Cheng came to the living room in the front yard, he saw Pei Xingjian with a nervous face in the hall at a glance, and when he saw his father-in-law coming, he immediately walked forward and saluted: "My son-in-law visits my father-in-law, I don't know what happened in the house, how can he be surrounded by officers and soldiers?" ”

Li Cheng is also inexplicable now, his son went to war with His Majesty, and suddenly committed a crime of rebellion, when he learned the news, he was also confused, he coughed and said: "Pei Gongzi, now that the Hou Mansion is besieged, the specific charges are not known, it is estimated that something went wrong in Dongsheng." But according to the news we inquired, it was involved in rebellion, in order not to delay the future of the son, I think this marriage should be forgotten, right? ”

Li Cheng deliberately replied with a cold expression, this time is also the time to test his character, and he also wants to see how Pei Xingjian, the son-in-law of Li Dongsheng, reacts when he hears this.

Pei Xingjian got up and said: "Father-in-law, I, Pei Xingjian, don't dare to call myself a gentleman, but I can't do anything to regret marriage!" ”

"I have already asked Zhu'er, she said that you have a great future, and now my family doesn't want to drag you down, so you better go back, the marriage book is here, you take it back, my family will announce to the public that it is my family's regret of marriage, and it will definitely not hurt the reputation of the son!" Li Chengban continued.

Hearing Li Cheng's words, Pei Xingjian's face showed a firm look: "Father-in-law, I came from my hometown and was hindered by my family, but I myself have never thought about regretting my marriage, and I have sworn that I will not marry Zhu'er in this life!" ”

Li Cheng was very surprised when he heard Pei Xingjian's words, the sense of belonging and loyalty of people in this era to the family was impossible for future generations to think of: "Then how do you explain to the people in the family?" Our family is a great sin of rebellion. You are implicated, what about your future? You really don't mind at all? ”

"Father-in-law, if I say I don't mind, it's definitely a lie." Pei Xingjian said calmly: "But my husband, I believe that no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will overcome them!" ”

Hearing Pei Xingjian's statement, Li Cheng was very satisfied with his son-in-law, and he paused and said, "Since you have such determination, I will no longer mention the matter of regretting marriage." But if you are suppressed in the court in the future, if you blame Zhu'er and let her be wronged, my family will definitely not let you go! ”

Li Cheng's words were very loud, as a slave of his father and the daughter of the Tang Dynasty, he also said ugly things to the front today, now Pei Xingjian is still young, and his feelings for Zhu'er in his heart feel that nothing in the world can compare to the relationship between two people.

But life is not only about feelings, but also about all kinds of things. With the passage of time, the relationship between the husband and wife has slowly become dull, and when the officialdom is suppressed, who can guarantee that Pei Xingjian's mind will not change.

"Father-in-law, since you came here today, it's just an attitude. Since I married Zhu'er as my wife, then our husband and wife will be in the same boat through thick and thin in the future, and after marrying her, I can't do the kind of thing that blames my own woman for everything! Pei Xingjian said: "No matter how much you say, it's empty, please ask my father-in-law and Lantian to wait for my actions!" ”
