Li Su was riding on a horse, and he was in a very uneasy mood.

I can't say the weird feeling, I always feel that Li Shimin's decision is wrong, it seems that something bad will happen, but I can't say what's wrong, this feeling is very bad, as if I can't scratch the itch, it's very uncomfortable.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't understand, Li Su simply gave up, sighed, and suddenly said loudly: "Send someone to the Chinese army to find my uncle." ”

Fang Lao Wu leaned over and said, "Does Grandpa mean to invite Old Master Li over?" ”

Li Su shook his head: "Don't alarm him, find a personal guard next to my uncle, Xue Rengui, and call him over." ”

Fang Lao Wu took the order and went.

Xue Rengui used to be Li Su's personal guard, this is a talent, it was Li Su who found him from a group of government soldiers, Xue Rengui is the future Tang Dynasty's generals, after Li Zhi sat in the country, Li Jicheng biting Jin and other generals gradually grew old, and the younger generation of generals in the DPRK was represented by Xue Rengui.

Therefore, Li Su felt that it was necessary to listen to Xue Rengui's analysis, it was not a good thing for the army to suddenly change its course, and Li Su's limited military talent could not analyze the reason, so it was better to listen to the words of the professionals.

As early as the attack on Liaodong City, Li Su recommended Xue Rengui to Li Ji's side, Li Ji originally just accepted the nephew's wishes, and later after seeing Xue Rengui, he took a few questions about the formation of troops at random and tested him, as a result, Li Ji's eyes lit up, and he immediately appreciated Xue Rengui, when he heard Li Su say that he was found in the barracks of Xue Rengui, Li Ji sighed that Li Su was lucky, and he was able to find such a talent.

Since then, Xue Rengui has been a personal guard by Li Ji's side, saying that he is a personal guard, but Li Ji attaches great importance to him, and whenever there is a war deployment or something, he will be called to his side, pointing to the map and teaching him one by one, the mode of getting along with the two is no longer master and servant, but master and apprentice, and the relationship is getting closer and closer.

However, for Li Su, the introducer in the middle, Li Ji did not give half a penny of the introduction fee, it is really a man's silent tears, is it a moral degradation or a distortion of human nature......

Xue Rengui came quickly, and the clothes on his body have changed, now he is wearing a silver light armor, a silver-white winged helmet, a horse lance in his hand, and a white horse of a divine horse, looking very coquettish.

Li Su snorted dissatisfiedly: "Dressed so brightly and outstandingly, I am not afraid of being shot by the enemy." ”

Xue Rengui, who was dressed in white, seemed to be a little more handsome than Li Su, and Li Su's jealousy began to attack.

Xue Rengui smiled honestly: "It was all sent by the old man, and the old man also said that after returning to Chang'an, he would put me in Youwuwei as a battalion officer, and I would be slowly promoted in the future." ”

"It seems that my uncle appreciates you very much, work hard, and don't let down my uncle's cultivation intentions."

Xue Rengui reached out his hand, took out a few hare pheasants from the cloth bag behind the saddle, handed them to Li Su, and said with a smile: "The march is hard, there is no long thing, there is nothing good to give to grandpa, yesterday I was bored on the road and shot a few game, give grandpa a different taste to try it, grandpa don't dislike it." ”

Li Su smiled approvingly, this kid is really sensible, he has been in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and the first time he saw someone who came to the door to take the initiative to bring gifts, it can be seen from this point that this is a very particular person, Li Su decided to make this friend, and he will often come and go in the future, hoping that Xue Rengui will be a little more spicy in the future and be a huge greed, so that the gifts he gives every time he visits him will not seem too shabby.

Xue Rengui turned his horse's head, walked side by side with Li Su, and said, "Grandpa suddenly summoned, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Li Su's face was a little gloomy and said, "The army has been diverted to Daxing City, do you know about this?" ”

Xue Rengui nodded: "I know." ”

"Do you think it's appropriate?"

Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, then scratched his head: "Okay...... Right? I know the reason why Your Majesty decided to change the route, and I was standing outside the tent at that time, and His Majesty and the old generals discussed and decided. ”

"Why did you make this decision?"

Xue Rengui thought for a while and said: "Because the climate of Goguryeo is too cold, many soldiers are frostbitten, if you go north to enter Liaodong City first and then go east, it is equivalent to a long detour, and the soldiers can't stand it. ”

Li Su sighed: "The reason is right, it is the benevolence of Your Majesty and the veterans, but I always feel that something is wrong......

"Isn't that right?" Xue Rengui was stunned for a moment, and then quickly took out a sheepskin map from his arms, it seems that he has been studying very hard recently, and the map is with him.

Staring at the map, Xue Rengui looked at it carefully for a long time, then raised his head, looking a little confused: "Grandpa, forgive the villain for being stupid, what's wrong?" The villain didn't see it......"

Li Su sighed: "Daxing City is a small city, the defenders are only six thousand, and I believe that it is impossible for a demon like Yang Wanchun to emerge in this city, but Daxing City is surrounded by sea and swamps, and our army's advantage is to fight on the plains, and the terrain near Daxing City is not conducive to the development of our army, and geographically speaking, our army has fallen into a disadvantage......

Xue Rengui was still a little confused: "However, we are attacking the city this time, not fighting with them on the plain, rushing over in one breath and taking Daxing City, it's as simple as that, why do you want to launch the army?" ”

Li Su's thoughts were a little confused, and when he heard this, he subconsciously muttered: "Yes, why do you want to expand it......"

Xue Rengui: "............"

Li Su was also speechless and speechless to himself.

The march was too hard, did he show signs of becoming insane? Suspicious, what's wrong with you?

But what is the hidden sense of uneasiness in my heart that a catastrophe is coming?

Unfolding the map, Li Su carefully looked at it from top to bottom again.

This time, I still couldn't see anything strange, but Xue Rengui next to him looked at him with strange eyes.

Counting the crises that the Tang army may encounter in the border of Goguryeo, first of all, Quangai Suwen mobilized a large army to counterattack, followed by Yang Wanchun's troops in the south to pursue, these two crises were expected, when the army marched, scouts were released for nearly 100 miles before and after, and once there was an enemy situation, the army would immediately line up in place, and prepare to fight in order to wait for work.

The problem that can be predicted is not a problem, Li Su believes that Li Shimin and the veterans have already been fully prepared to deal with it.

Well, there's one more question......

Li Su's gaze gradually moved to the north of the map, and to the north of Goguryeo, there was a place in the shape of an oblong oval, where were the seven parts of the indigo.

Li Su's brows furrowed, will the Seventh Department of the Divine Tale go south?

According to Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda's statement, the Seven Ministries of the Yan Dynasty have been completely shocked by the Tang Dynasty as early as the fourth year of Zhenguan, and the leaders of the Su Dynasty still insist on the etiquette of entering Chang'an in person every year, which can be described as a hardcore henchman Gold Medal Little Fan, if the leader of the Su Mo Department will rebel against the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the monarchs and ministers will not believe it, and even after Li Su listened to the analysis of Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda, he also felt that the Su Mo should not rebel against the Tang Dynasty, and he would do such a stupid thing when he was full......

If the end of Su will not rebel against the Tang Dynasty, then what about the other six parts of the Yan Dynasty?

Unfolding the map, Li Su felt a little relieved, from the map, the end of the Su is located in the southernmost part of the Yan tribe, bordering Goguryeo, the six parts of the north of the Yan tribe are like rebelling against the Tang Dynasty to the south, they must pass through the territory of the end of the Su Dynasty, judging from the loyalty of the end of the Su to the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to let them pass anyway, besides, even if they are allowed to pass, on the key passes of the new city and Yanjin City in Goguryeo, there are still 20,000 fine horsemen stationed in Niu Jinda, and there are two lines of defense in the north of Su Mo and Niu Jinda, there should be no problem......

Li Su scratched his head, he still felt that something was wrong in his heart, the current crisis of the Tang army was probably only these, as for the civilian local rebel forces that appeared in Goguryeo from time to time, occasionally small-scale harassment and ambush of the Tang army's large battalions and scouts sent out, basically could not become a general climate, tickling the general level.

The crisis exists, but most of them have expected it and taken precautions, but Li Su still has a feeling in his heart that a catastrophe is coming, and he doesn't know where it came from, let alone where something went wrong, this feeling of scratching his heart and lungs is really bad.

After looking at it for a long time and not seeing what it was all about, Li Su crumpled the map into a ball irritably, threw it to the ground, looked at Xue Rengui and said angrily: "In short, it's not right to change the route to attack Daxing City!" If there is a mistake, there will be a big problem! Don't ask me what the big question is, I don't know! ”

Xue Rengui looked at him in a daze, and then said leisurely: "Grandpa, you are a little unreasonable like this...... Also, the map you just threw is mine. ”

…………

There are a lot of unreasonable things, and most of them are harmless, but Li Su really feels a little restless this time, and always feels that it is always a little bit worse to grasp the fleeting thought.

The long march was spent in Li Su's infinite entanglement.

Because of the entanglement, Li Su's temper gradually became bad, he didn't like anything, he scolded him for a long time for a trivial matter, Gao Suhui accidentally spilled a little wine when he handed Li Su, and was scolded by Li Su so much that he almost cried.

Li Su felt that her menopause might be early, and she felt very sorry in her heart, but once a trivial thing happened again, she still couldn't hold the fire......

On the evening of the third day, the army finally reached thirty miles outside the city of Daxing. Li Shimin ordered to build a meal and attack the city early tomorrow morning.

Li Su walked around the tent alone, he really wanted to go to the tent of the commander of the Chinese army to meet Li Shimin and persuade him to continue to go north to Liaodong City, but he really couldn't come up with a convincing reason, could he tell Li Shimin that I felt wrong, so let's change the route, there is no reason, purely intuitive, if you love me, you will promise me......

Li Shimin may hang him on the flagpole to calm him down.

It was difficult to sit still, drinking wine and eating meat had no taste, and it didn't take long for Li Su to get drunk, maybe there was something on his mind, and the amount of alcohol was different from usual, and he was drunk very quickly.

The next morning, when Li Su was still asleep, he suddenly heard the rumbling drums in the distance, Li Su struggled to get up, and knew that the Tang army had begun to attack Daxing City.

Goguryeo is a very amazing country, the country is small, mountainous, and generally very barren, the common people can't even eat, but the people are brave and aggressive, and the whole country is quite united, and there are few people who swallow their anger, especially when they encounter foreign enemies.

Although the country is small, but the population is a lot, there are historical records, in the early Tang Dynasty, the population of Goguryeo was about 670,000 households, the whole country was young and strong, there were millions of young and strong people, they could not eat enough, and they gave birth to so many babies, it can be seen that the people of Goguryeo are very fond of babies, and there are no entertainment activities in this year, working in the field during the day and working for a tiring day, eating and sleeping at night, there is no TV to watch before going to bed, there is no mobile phone to play, except for making babies and doing some sports, there are really no other activities.

The terrain is not good, the population is large, the people are good at fighting, it can be described as poor mountains and bad waters, so Goguryeo conscription usually does not need much training, they are basically born warriors, and there is an unyielding spirit in the army from top to bottom.

As in front of him, more than 200,000 soldiers of the Tang army came to the city, and the defenders of Daxing City were only 6,000, but they did not see the 6,000 defenders have the slightest sign of surrendering to Kaicheng.

The rumbling drum has not been interrupted, after the earth-shaking shout of killing, the rumbling explosion is heard again, Li Shimin seems to be addicted to the earth-shaking thunder, and he does not forget to use this everywhere, of course, the earth-shaking thunder was originally a sharp firearm, and its cost is not expensive, if it can greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers, why not?

The defenders of Daxing City are very strong, they are still fearless in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, the defenders are fighting at the head of the city, waving their long swords hoarsely, the soldiers carry arrows, boulders, rolling logs, and come and go in an orderly manner, when the Tang army attacked the city, the defenders did not panic, but followed the command of the generals, and performed their duties to resist the Tang army.

Siege of the city for a whole morning, Daxing City several times in danger, almost by the Tang army that climbed the head of the city, and then the defender personally went into battle, led the defenders to fight back desperately, only to climb the small group of Tang troops on the head of the city on the spot, but to hold the city. At noon, Li Shimin ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Failed to capture the city, in the expectation of the monarch and ministers, there was no internal response, refused to surrender, and the forced siege could not be too fast, but Li Shimin was quite satisfied with the progress of today's siege, the city head was climbed up by the Tang army several times in the morning, and each time it was only a little bit to occupy the city, this is a good phenomenon, if the city is attacked again in the afternoon, there should be hope to break the city.

More than 2,000 people were killed in the battle, but Li Shimin was in a good mood, chatting and laughing with a group of veterans in the tent, and scolding Fang Xuan was very majestic.

At noon, bury the pot to cook, the soldiers ate happily, compared to the desperate and powerless mentality when attacking Anshi City, today's Daxing City is obviously much easier, this is the correct way to open the siege, Yang Wanchun of Anshi City is simply a demon, not easy-going at all......

In the open space of the camp, all the soldiers squatted on the ground, and the wild vegetable soup was boiled in the huge marching iron pot, and the soup was mixed with a little minced meat, which did not taste necessarily good, but the nutrition was also so-so, and the marching army was all distributed dry food, each meal was probably a black mess, the material was not fixed, most of them were cakes or rice balls, mixed with a little salt, and if conditions permitted, the rice balls were wrapped outside a few pieces of wild vegetables temporarily picked from the ground.
