From the various unsatisfactory wars after crossing the Liao River, to the fruitless retreat of the attack on Anshi City, and finally the sneak attack of the Yan tribe outside the city of Daxing burned the grain and grass, the Eastern Expedition that the Tang Dynasty had prepared for many years can be described as a fateful and unfavorable one.

When the reality that all the generals suggested that they withdraw their troops immediately was in front of them, this straw finally crushed Li Shimin, and a mouthful of turbid blood spurted out, and the man was already planted on the ground unconscious.

The generals in the tent were shocked, hurriedly carried Li Shimin to the bed, and immediately announced the imperial doctor.

The imperial doctors hurriedly entered the tent to treat Li Shimin, and Chang Tu invited the generals out of the tent, and the generals stood outside the tent and paced back and forth, their expressions showing anxiety and worry.

After more than an hour, Chang Tu hurriedly went out of the tent and told the generals that His Majesty had woken up, but needed to recuperate, and the generals could go back to the camp tent to restrain the generals, and immediately arrange for the withdrawal of troops, and the power to control the army was handed over to Li Ji, the general manager of the march of Liaodong Road.

Chang Tu conveyed a lot of Li Shimin's confessions, but he never mentioned why Li Shimin vomited blood and fainted, and the generals knew that the emperor's illness was also a confidential matter, and no one dared to ask more, so they dispersed with apprehension.

…………

The rear of the army was destroyed by the cavalry, and there were traces of corpses and grain and grass being burned everywhere, and there was even thick smoke in some places, so Li Su had to move the camp tent near the tent of the commander of the Chinese army.

It is very troublesome for an army of more than 200,000 people to advance and retreat, and from the moment the order is issued, more than 200,000 people have to pack up their bags, feed the horses and pull out the camp, and gather weapons and ordnance.

So when the order to withdraw the troops was given, the Li family's subordinates were busy packing their luggage, but Li Su was still sitting in the tent unhurriedly, sipping tea slowly.

Gao Suhui knelt opposite him, her expression was neither sad nor joyful, her eyes were a little dull, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Li Su had a gloomy face, sipping tea shallowly, and quietly looked at her expression through the thick hot mist.

The two of them have been silent, as if a pair of enlightened monks are sitting in dry meditation.

Outside the tent, the neighing of the war horse interrupted Gao Suhui's thoughts, she woke up suddenly, and then collided with Li Suhui's gaze, Gao Suhui was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Li Su smiled, with a cold smile.

"Our army has just been attacked by a sneak attack, about you have also heard, the defeat is very miserable, our army has more than 10,000 dead soldiers, more than 10,000 people, and countless wounded, well, the cavalry of the Yan Dynasty did it, of course, it must be your Goguryeo's Quangai Suwen borrowed soldiers, if you stand in a neutral point of view, I have to say that this battle was fought beautifully, this is a classic sneak attack war, enough to be qualified to go down in history, as a classic example of war included in the book of war, for future generations to learn and admire......"

As if hearing the suppressed anger in Li Su's tone, Gao Suhui's body trembled, and she said softly: "The slave is already a prisoner of the Tang State, and the victory or defeat of the war between the two countries has nothing to do with the slave and the maid. ”

Li Su glanced at her and said with a smile: "Are you afraid that I will be angry with you?" Maybe I'll pull you out and behead you with an order, or I'll spoil you first and then behead you......"

Gao Suhui trembled with fright, and said with a pale face: "The slave is innocent......"

"Even your majesty, the emperor of my Tang Dynasty, dare to assassinate you, do you think you are a good baby?" Li Su sneered.

Gao Suhui was speechless, slowly lowered her head, her hands tightly clutched the corners of her clothes, and her knuckles turned white.

Li Su quietly watched her reaction and nodded secretly.

The acting skills are getting more and more exquisite, in the few words just now, her expression changed from fear to grief and indignation, and then to helpless gloom, the performance is very layered, obviously, this woman's sense of drama is getting stronger and stronger, maybe sometimes even she can't tell whether she is acting or living in reality.

Li Su was suddenly very curious, he wanted to know what this woman really thought in her heart, what she was thinking after she knew about the defeat of the Tang Army, and what she planned to do next? She lurks around her with this risky method of nine deaths, what does she want?

There are too many questions to ask, but Li Su can't say it, now is not the time to tear her face, while she has a plot against Li Su, why doesn't Li Su also have a plot against her?

"In your heart, are we Datang people so terrible?" Li Suhan asked with a smile.

Gao Suhui raised her head and looked directly at him: "Your Tang Kingdom invaded us, conquered Liaodong City and Daxing City, and ordered the slaughter of the city for three days for each city, and the innocent people in the two cities were slaughtered, aren't the Tang people terrible?" ”

Li Su sneered: "Seeing that Tang Guo lost the battle, you have enough confidence today, right?" Dare to confront me, huh? ”

Gao Suhui's face turned pale, and she hurriedly lowered her head in obedience.

"As for the slaughter of the city, where does the mercy of war come from? Since the two countries are at war, it is the right thing to slaughter each other, and since you have been adopted by Yang Wanchun for many years, you should understand this truth. ”

"We have a saying in Datang, 'Don't judge heroes by success or failure', even if Datang loses a battle, its heritage and combat power are still much stronger than your small countries, and it is a matter of time before Goguryeo destroys the country, and if you fight again in the future, the result will be very different......"

Li Su sighed quietly, his expression was a little gloomy, this was a defeat that could have been avoided, before that, Li Su had advised Li Shimin many times, and even did not hesitate to offend Tianyan, almost making Li Shimin angry.

It's a pity that His Majesty the stubborn Tian Khan couldn't listen to a word, and insisted on marching and fighting according to his wrong ideas, and in the end Li Su could only watch the Tang army pay for the mistakes made by Li Shimin.

One general is incompetent and kills the three armies.

Although this sentence is very rebellious, this is the truest thought in Li Su's heart at the moment.

Turning to look at Gao Suhui, Li Su smiled and said: "Don't worry, Datang's cruelty is only in wartime, and it is still very merciful when it is outside the battlefield, and no matter how badly defeated it is, it will not kill prisoners of war and be angry......"

After a pause, Li Su found that he was a little weak in saying this, as far as he knew, the more than 2,000 wounded soldiers thrown down by the Yan Ya cavalry after retreating today, Li Shimin had just been beheaded under an order......

"Ahem, correct it, I will never kill you to be angry, your current identity is my slave, and my private property is protected by the laws of Datang, unless you die yourself."

Gao Suhui looked at him expressionlessly.

Li Su was upset: "Do you know what the slave does?" ”

Gao Suhui said in a cold tone: "I know, I serve you." ”

"Well, that is, you are currently working in a service job, do you know what the first principle of service work is?"

"The slave doesn't know."

"It's a smile, a smile to serve, especially to the master, but also to smile sweetly, smile sincerely, come, give me a smile, a straight face is too much for my master to block, if you don't laugh, let you serve my more than 100 parts......"

Gao Suhui hurriedly squeezed out an ugly smile at Li Su.

Li Suyi snapped his fingers: "Very good, I feel your sincerity, remember to keep it in the future." ”

After abusing Gao Suhui, Li Su's bad mood finally improved a little. After losing the battle, I abused the female prisoners of war, yes, it was so useless.

I was about to continue to do on-the-job training with Gao Suhui in the service industry, when the sound of the trilogy came from outside the account.

"Grandpa, Your Majesty's edict, announce that Grandpa will meet you in the tent."

****************************************************************

When Li Su arrived at the tent, a bunch of generals were already standing in the tent, everyone had a solemn face, and the atmosphere in the tent was very depressing.

Li Shimin was half-lying on the bed, and several imperial doctors stood beside him, Chang Tu knelt beside him, holding the steaming decoction in both hands.

At this time, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister was meaningless, and Li Su hid behind the generals in a low-key manner, honestly and respectfully.

The curtain of the handsome tent was suddenly opened, and a cold wind poured in, and a layer of goosebumps broke out on Li Su's back.

A round, spherical object rolled in, crying in a panic as he threw himself away from the crowd and towards Li Shimin.

"Father, father, you must take care of the dragon's body, the sons are not filial, I just hate to share the worries of my father......"

Li Tai's crying did not move the generals in the tent, but made many generals secretly frown because of his noise.

Watching Li Tai's performance, Li Su pursed his lips and sighed regretfully.

Why is this fat man still alive? Why didn't the Warrior cavalry chop him up when they raided today?

When Li Tai was about to pounce on Li Shimin and cry, Chang Tu stretched out a hand to stop him, and the momentum of the big fat man of more than 300 catties was easily stopped by Chang Tu with one hand, and it was not simple.

"His Royal Highness King Wei, Your Majesty needs to recuperate, don't move rashly, Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Li Tai was stopped by Chang Tu, and he was suddenly a little stunned, so he stopped, knelt down two steps away from Li Shimin, and sobbed softly.

Li Shimin was very weak at this time, his face was frighteningly white, even his lips had lost their blood, and he had a white square scarf on his forehead, as if he was seriously ill.

Li Su immediately understood why the faces of the generals in the tent were so solemn, and when he heard that Li Shimin vomited blood today, it seems that the situation is quite serious, and it is a time when the Tang army is newly defeated, and it is a time of internal and external difficulties, Li Shimin's illness has undoubtedly made the fate of the officers and men of the three armies worse.

I don't know how long it took, Li Shimin on the bed finally sighed leisurely, and said weakly: "Determined for twenty years, prepared for four or five years, gathered the soldiers of the country, measured the things of the country, gambled on the luck of the country, and wanted to complete his work in one battle, and finally failed, burned to the ground, and I ...... I am a sinner, I am sorry for the subjects of the world! ”

As he spoke, tears flowed from the corners of Li Shimin's eyes, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes into his pale sideburns.

The generals hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty take care of the dragon's body, but it is only a small defeat, and I will definitely be able to avenge this big revenge in the future." ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Perhaps, this revenge can be avenged in the future, but the person who takes revenge is no longer me, but the emperor of the next generation......
