Chapter 36: Xue raised troops to attack, and Li Shimin fell ill
36. Xue raised troops to attack, and Li Shimin fell ill
Last time, he said
When Li Pojun was crowned king
Li Shimin finally waited for the opportunity to come
It is said that Li Pojun paid attention to the news of Li Shimin's expedition when he practiced martial arts and literature every day, and Li Shimin went to the army to prepare two days earlier.
At this time, Li Pojun was struggling to practice archery, saying that his stone bow strength was enough, and he also had the right head, but there was no persistence, and he couldn't stand it if he shot two or three arrows.
I'm worried about it.,I'm going to take a break and continue practicing.。
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the courtyard gate, and Li Pojun suddenly turned around.
"Haha, why did my tiger encounter a problem? Speak for the Father's sake."
When he looked back, it turned out that his father Li Shimin was here, followed by Ah Zheng, who had a bitter face, and it seemed that entering the door to report this matter was not applicable to anyone.
"Why is the father here, there is nothing difficult for the child, and besides, what can stump your son." Li Pojun replied with a hippie smile.
"Haha, you slippery boy, huh? Practicing archery? Yes, yes, whether it is for the commander or the emperor, archery is indispensable." After saying that, he was slightly excited.
Li Pojun nodded, he knew that archery could measure a person's martial arts level.
I saw Li Shimin say again: "My father's archery skills are not big words, they are also first-class, and they are really passed down by your imperial grandfather." After speaking, he picked up the bow hanging on the side, took the arrow and shot it, and saw that the arrow hit the center of the target with a bang, and it was first-class in terms of strength and crosshair.
Li Pojun was also impressed by Li Shiminxiu's hand, and he deserved to be the king of horses. As for Li Yuan's true biography, he had also seen this anecdote in his previous life from the post, which was about his grandmother, the late Empress Dou.
It is said that the eldest princess, the elder sister of Emperor Wu of Zhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, gave birth to a girl (that is, the later Empress Dou), and when Empress Dou grew up, her father Dou Yi said: "This daughter has a strange appearance and extraordinary knowledge, how can she marry casually!" ”。
So he drew two peacocks between the screens, and asked the suitors to shoot two arrows each, and he secretly decided that whoever could shoot the peacock in the eye would be given to whomever he wanted. There were more than dozens of people who shot, all of which were not up to the requirements, and Li Yuan finally shot two arrows and hit the peacock's two eyes, so Dou Yi married Dou Hou to Gaozu. Later, Li Yuan really became the emperor, and Empress Dou became the empress.
It can be seen that Li Yuan's archery skills are also very superb, and he was born in a family of military generals, and he has received a good civil and military education.
At this time, Li Shimin spoke up, "Well, a stone bow is very good for you, and in the future, as your strength grows, you will change to a heavy bow."
"The father's archery skills are unparalleled, the child admires, and I hope that the father will teach the know-how in the future." Li Shimin agreed.
"Didn't the father reorganize the army in the battalion, why did he come home and come to the child again?"
"Haha, the court received a report that Xue Ju led the troops to commit my Gaoshu, and my father asked the marshal to lead the Eighth Route Army to ask for it." After saying that, he laughed and was full of spirit.
"The opportunity to make meritorious contributions to my father will eventually come, and when I make more military contributions, the situation between the DPRK and China will no longer be weak."
Li Pojun was really speechless, although he was not familiar with some Sui and Tang Dynasty history, but he also knew that Xue Ju was also a hero, and he didn't think that his father didn't care so much, but it was an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
"The child wishes his father an early triumph and another great achievement." Li Pojun also had excited wishes in his heart.
It's just that he didn't know that this time Li Shimin went out to fight against Xue Ju, but he lost his troops and returned home, not only was the army defeated, but he almost lost his life, which was much more serious than the time when Wang Shichong went on the Eastern Expedition.
It's just that all this is unknown to future generations after Li Pojun's death, who made him not specialize in history.
"Although the expedition for my father is far away from the disputes between the DPRK and China, and the ears are idle, but it is bitter for your mother and son, remember that I went out to protect myself first, forbearance first, Taoguang and obscurity, but your mother knows, it is really a virtuous helper, but you can not rest assured, although you are young and smart and sensible, but my father is still worried that you are young and playful and can not stand the persecution and make trouble."
Li Shimin instructed Li Pojun earnestly.
But when Li Pojun heard this, it was as if he had received an insult.
"How is it possible, father, don't worry, they won't deal with my little child, as for Li Chengzong and the others, the children don't bother to look at them, so they won't be like their little children." After speaking, I realized that I was also a little broken child, and I couldn't help but shrink my head.
Li Shimin also laughed when he saw this.
…………
About twenty or thirty years old, dressed in military uniform, looking heroic and extraordinary, a handsome and mighty general, this general is Li Shimin, Xue Ju is going to go on the expedition, and at this time he is saying goodbye to Li Pojun's mother and son at the gate of the mansion.
Li Pojun looked at Li Shimin and his wife from a distance, Wen Cun couldn't help but be stupid, his parents are like this, what do his sons want.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin immediately set his eyes on him.
"What's the matter, tiger slave, didn't you give a poem to strengthen the army last time you went out for your father, why didn't you do it this time?" Li Shimin looked at Li Pojun who was standing on the side and laughed.
Belch...... Li Pojun was caught off guard and composed poems, it should be a stolen poem, it is rare to find the right time at this time, he thought about it and raised his eyebrows.
"Father, the last time the child wrote poems, the Eastern Expedition ran into Wang Shichong's thorn, so that the Eastern Expedition was blocked, so let the child write poems this time, I wish my father a safe and triumphant return as soon as possible, and the child will write poems again to celebrate."
Li Pojun said with a grin.
Li Shimin was also speechless, Li Pojun's eloquence is definitely a good discernment, there is always a reason.
After instructing the mother and son for a few words, they went out and got on the horse. didn't know that he, the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, almost died in the shallow water plain.
The eldest grandson Wujian silently looked at Li Shimin's distant back, his heart hurt, and his body trembled. Li Pojun also felt it, but he thought that it was windy in spring and summer, "Mother, it's windy outside, let's go back to the house." The mother and son went back to the house with big hands and small hands, only the sound of horses' hooves behind them was getting farther and farther.
…………
Two days later
Li Shimin sat on his horse and looked at Qizhou in front of him, full of pride in his heart. "Hmph, wait for me to make military merits again, and then see how the clown jumps off the beam." Thinking of the trend of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, he was angry when he saw Li Jiancheng and the officials who were attached to him.
But after all, the assets of a generation of emperors, the ability to be happy and angry is invisible, although there are thousands of thoughts in his heart, he still smiled at Liu Wenjing, Yin Qiao and other eight-way soldiers around him: "After the army is stationed in Qizhou, you will send scouts to pay attention to the movements of Xue thieves at any time, and the last time I received a report, Xue Jun has already arrived outside Gaoshu."
"Subordinates obey orders".
On this day, Li Shimin was inspecting and returning from the army, and he lived in the barracks and tents when he was out fighting, showing the demeanor of the monarch.
Back in the tent, looking at the pile of military affairs on the desk, I couldn't help but look big, Xue Jun was getting closer and closer, and he could only wait for the battle, and there were more and more military affairs.
Just as he was about to sit down, he suddenly felt dizzy, then trembled all over, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body, Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised, this July was in full bloom, how could he still feel cold, and he had no intention of dealing with military affairs. Go back to the backrooms and pay attention.
This sleep passed out, in the middle of the night he felt cold all over his body, and cold sweat, Li Shimin's drowsy brain still had a trace of lucidity, he knew that he was sick, it was not good to be sick at this time, maybe he would die, not to mention that the army was about to fight.
