Chapter 211 Will you protect me for the rest of my life?

"Li Jiancheng has come to Hedong!" For Dou Jiande, this is definitely bad news. Even if Li Jiancheng led the Xue Wanche Department of the Jingzhou Army and the Yang Wen Cadre Department of the Qingzhou Army together there were only more than 12,000 people, but it put great pressure on Dou Jiande.

If in the future generations, if you want to say who is better between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, nine out of ten people will not hesitate to say that Li Shimin is powerful, but in Dou Jiande's eyes, ten Li Shimin is no better than one Li Jiancheng. Historians commented that Li Jiancheng was as quiet as water; Li Shimin's temperament is as fierce as fire.

Li Shimin, who was as anxious as fire, was defeated by Xue Ju in the first military position, Li Mi in the second, Song Jingang in the third place, and Liu Heimin in the fourth place. According to the historical records, when he went to fight against Xue Ju for the first time, Li Shimin suffered from malaria and was sick in the military camp, so he entrusted the military power to Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, and instructed him not to send troops easily. However, the two did not listen to the instructions and sent troops privately, but they were defeated by Xue Ju's sneak attack in Qianshuiyuan, and the death of the soldiers was as high as five or six tenths, and many generals were captured. Li Shimin had no choice but to lead the remnants of the army back to Chang'an, resulting in "commotion in Beijing" (the beginning of this book)

In this great defeat, no matter whether Li Shimin was really sick or fake, the responsibility for the defeat of the arrogant army cannot be shirked. Besides, with Li Shimin's strict management of the army, Liu Wenjing has been his deputy for a long time, how can he not obey the general's orders and send troops without authorization? Moreover, in this battle, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Hou Junji, Duan Zhixuan and other backbone members of Li Shimin's descendants all participated, and with their loyalty to Li Shimin, without Li Shimin's approval, Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan would not be able to transfer a single soldier at all.

Li Shimin's vaunted defeat of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang in Hedong Dao was actually the result of Gaozu Li Yuan's personal conquest. At that time, Li Shimin not only had no merits, but also lost the battle and was removed from the post of lieutenant. Li Shimin's troops went out to plunder and bloody the city, which made him extremely notorious. During the suppression of Liu Heimin's rebels in Hebei and Shandong, he was almost captured alive by Liu Heimin's rebels.

In the end, it was the envy of the crown prince Li Jiancheng who advanced together, and the prince "dismissed the prisoners, released their families, and sent them to comfort them, and the hearts of the people were settled". In one fell swoop, the rebel forces in Shandong and Hebei for many years were quelled. In the seventh year of Wude, Gaozu ordered Li Jiancheng to go out of Qinzhou, and Li Shimin went out to fight the Turks. As a result, Li Jiancheng won a great victory, while Li Shimin was defeated by the Turks, lost the annexation of the state, Zhang Jin died in battle, was scolded by Gaozu, and replaced Li Shimin's authority in Shaanxi Province with Li Yuanji.

Many people don't understand the historical facts, and they tout indiscriminately that "Li Shimin, the king of Qin, laid down the ...... of the Tang Dynasty" In fact, there are historical materials to confirm: half of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, and Li Xiaogong swept across the south of the Yangtze River. Shandong was surrendered by Li Shentong, and Lingzhou and the nineteen prefectures of Hexi were defeated by Li Daozong. Carefully calculated, except for the contradictions and loopholes, the Battle of Bishan and the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Li Shimin's military achievements are only a handful. However, after the Xuanwumen Incident, the military genius Li Xiaogong, the king of Zhaojun, was also placed under house arrest by Li Shimin.

Dou Jiande definitely didn't know that the history books of later generations whitewashed Li Shimin in every way, but he knew that Li Jiancheng of the Tang Dynasty was very powerful, in the early days of the Tang Dynasty, Jinyang raised troops, Dingxi River, Xiajiang County, stationed in Yongfeng, Chang'an and other military activities, Li Jiancheng charged into battle, and took the lead in the battle with outstanding achievements. Li Jiancheng took the lead in breaking through Chang'an, laying the military foundation for the Tang capital to command the world. Historian He Mufeng said: "As the eldest son of Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng's meritorious service in the Tang Empire was outstanding. It can be said that if Li Yuan is not built, it will be difficult to become Tang Gaozu. In other words, with Li Jiancheng, there was the later Tang Empire. ”

Dou Jiande said with a gloomy face: "Where is Li Jiancheng now?" ”

Ling Jing thought for a while and said: "Li Jiancheng crossed the Yellow River in Longmen Yuqiang, and now he has arrived at Baibi, but his troops did not stop, but unexpectedly turned north, passing through Jiangzhou, it seems that there is no pause, continue to the north, look at the posture, he wants to garrison Jinzhou (Linfen today)!" ”

Dou Jiande stared at the sand table, looked at the terrain of Jinzhou and muttered: "You say, will Li Jiancheng give up the land of Sanzhou in the south of Jinzhou?" ”

"No way!" Ling Jing shook his head and said: "Li Jiancheng has no choice at this time, he can only win, he can't afford to lose, once defeated, it will shake his position as the crown prince!" ”

"Yes, Li Jiancheng can't afford to lose! But I can't afford to lose! Dou Jiande stretched out his hand and knocked on the sand table and pointed to the city of Jinzhou and said: "Li Jiancheng's purpose has already been guessed, he doesn't want to give up Jinnan, but to go north through Jinnan and kill Hebei!" ”

Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, hundreds of mountains are interconnected, thousands of peaks are towering, and thousands of ravines are deep. At the same time, Shanxi and Hebei are also divided into two worlds, but the ancient Chinese ancestors have opened up the path in the Taihang Mountains that are thousands of miles long, connecting the east and west, the most famous are the military capital, Puyin, Feihu, Jing, Fukou, Bai, Taihang, Yiguan, etc., the ancient name is Taihang Bashan, that is, the ancient Shanxi, Hebei and Henan provinces pass through the Taihang Mountains to communicate with each other eight throat passages, is the important military pass of the border of the three provinces.

Ling Jing exclaimed, "Li Jiancheng wants to take Bai Cheng? ”

"It's possible!" Dou Jiande said with a deep gaze: "Now that Hebei is empty, even if Li Jiancheng leads more than 10,000 people, it can turn Hebei upside down." ”

Ling Jing thought for a while and said: "That's what he said, but he thought that it was not easy for Bai Cheng, Bai Cheng had three thousand guards, and it was not easy to repel Li Jiancheng, but it was also very difficult for Li Jiancheng to break through Bai Cheng. ”

Dou Jiande smiled slightly and said: "The enemy changes, we also change, don't they want to attack Hebei?" Then we'll snatch Li Yuan's lair! ”

……

Xingyang, on the third day of Chen Ying's occupation of Xingyang City, a team of about three or four hundred cavalry Xia Army cavalry appeared outside Xingyang City, without Chen Ying's order, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui led the hook and sickle lancers to outflank left and right, but the other party quickly shrank back, but did not flee far, ran away for a distance and waited on the horse, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui's department went back, and they chased after them.

The Xia cavalry scouts are lightly armed cavalry, and if they fight a decisive battle with the hook and sickle lancers, the same number of hook and sickle lancers can abuse them to death, it is a pity that these Xia cavalry are very smart, and Chen Ying played the trick of "the enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I disturb", and they have no intention of fighting hard with the Tang cavalry. Of course, this is mainly because the number of Xia cavalry is too small, and the Tang cavalry in Xingyang City is more than 6,000 people, which is twenty or thirty times that of their Xia cavalry.

It was already dusk, Luo Shixin rode back to the city, Zhang Shigui had set up an ambush ten miles away from the city, but this time the Xia cavalry did not chase, making this ambush like a fictitious, Zhang Tugui saw that this cavalry was so alert, his heart sank, after nightfall, Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui entered the city together, Chen Ying reported the battle situation.

Chen Ying said: "The enemy has become cautious. ”

Luo Shixin said indignantly: "It's all a bunch of cowards, and they don't have any seeds!" ”

"It's not!" Chen Ying shook his head and said: "It is the most correct way for them not to fight our hook and sickle lancers, and they are not looking for fighters with us at the moment, but just want to find out where we are going." Dou Jiande must be very worried at this time, we now abandon Xingyang and cross the Yellow River to the north. ”

"What does the general mean?" Zhang Shigui asked, "We don't have to pay attention to them?" ”

"No!" Chen Yingdao: "Since Dou Jiande is so worried, you might as well scare him!" At dawn tomorrow, the whole army will disperse, search for warships everywhere, cut wood to build rafts, and make a posture ready to cross the Yellow River at any time. ”

When Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui came out of the Xingyang Mansion where Chen Ying was staying, they were already close to the time of the child. Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui were separated, and the camps of the two of them were stationed in the southern city of Xingyang and the other outside the northern city.

Just when Luo Shixin was about to lead the personal guard cavalry through the northern city, he suddenly heard a terrible cry from a private house on the side of the street, and a young woman who was not too old shouted with all her might: "Lady, lady, don't think about it, come quickly, help!" ”

When Luo Shixin heard this, he identified the direction and ran away wildly, and the guards around Luo Shixin also followed, and came to an inconspicuous courtyard.

The door panel, which was almost two fingers thick, couldn't withstand Luo Shixin's heavy kick at all, and the door panel cracked in response.

Through the flickering candlelight, Luo Shixin saw a white silk hanging on the beam of the room, a woman wearing a turquoise skirt, putting her neck in the white silk, and an inexplicable fourteen or fifteen-year-old woman holding the woman's legs, howling and crying.

Luo Shixin suddenly broke down the door and scared the maid to the ground, and her eyes rolled and she fell unconscious.

Luo Shixin didn't have time to write in detail, so he waved his gun. The sharp blade of the spear cut Bai Aya without delay, and the woman who lost Bai Aya's restraint fell from the sky.

Luo Shixin hurriedly reached out and hugged the woman in the skirt to prevent her from falling from the beam and falling to the ground, and the guards saw that there was only one woman and one servant in the house, and there was no one else, so they showed a look at Luo Shixin that a man understands, and withdrew from the house one after another.

Looking at the two unconscious women, Luo Shixin, a man who had slept on the corpse mountain, had a bath in blood, and couldn't let him blink an eye, was actually cramped and uneasy at the moment.

Luo Shixin looked at the shocking strangulation marks on the woman's neck, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the woman's face, and he was stunned for a while. It's not that Luo Shixin hasn't seen beautiful women, like Li Daozhen, Li Xiuning, including Red Sleeves, Green Beads, and even Gao Wenjin and Xu Erniang, their appearance is not bad.

Li Xiuning is graceful and luxurious, and her colors are so gorgeous that people dare not look at them directly. Li Daozhen is heroic, Xu Erniang is a small jasper, and the red-sleeved and green-bead sisters are like porcelain dolls. As for Lan'er, she is the little sister next door. However, among the women that Luo Shixin has seen, there is no one who can be compared to the woman in his arms.

I don't know how long it took, the little maid woke up slowly, she looked at Luo Shixin and asked timidly: "General, are you the general of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

This call finally pulled Luo Shixin out of his fantasy, Luo Shixin couldn't help but blush, nodded and said: "I'm Luo Shixin, the general of Xuanwei in the Tang Dynasty, what's wrong with your lady, can't you think of killing yourself?" ”

The little maid looked at the woman in Luo Shixin's arms and shook her head. Of course, she didn't know, but she didn't dare to say it.

Luo Shixin also felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to hold such a woman, and after thinking about it, he finally gently handed the woman to the maid.

Cui Yingying's eyelashes fluttered, as if she was desperately trying to get out of that nightmare. This nightmare is so realistic, too terrifying. In her own family, although her father is not the most valued room. But she has always been the object of attention in her own family and among her peers in the entire Seven Sects and Five Hope Families! No one will wronged her, not even her own brother will let her go everywhere. Needless to say, her parents doted on her.

As the noble daughter of the Cui family in Qinghe, she couldn't do her marriage, and finally married Zheng Zhongmian of the Zheng family in Xingyang. It's just that she never thought that this time she got married but encountered the first nightmare in her life, encountered so many hideous faces, so many injuries, so many deaths, so much blood, so many screams and screams of the girls around her being forcibly dragged away......

A pair of lustful and beastly eyes seemed to still surround her, and a pair of black hands reached out to her from all sides. Judging from her nineteen-year-old and caring life, she has never met it! Her self-esteem, her pride, do not tolerate the desecration of these things. I seem to have put a knife to my heart?

And then what............ At the cost of more than a hundred deaths, she finally protected her and hid in the Xingyang Zheng family, she thought that her nightmare could end, but she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

A large number of Xia soldiers rushed into the Zheng family, but alas, the Xingyang Zheng family, which was handed down by the scriptures and books, did not stand up to stop the Xia soldiers from committing violence, and his future husband Zheng Zhongmian, known as the outstanding son of the Zheng family's young people, Zheng Zhongmian, who was both civil and military, was actually scared to pee in front of him.

When those sinful hands reached out to her, her future husband pretended not to see it. Mourning is greater than heart death, just when Cui Yingying was about to kill herself, the thirteen surviving Cui family members protected themselves to kill the Zheng family.

Cui Yingying didn't know how she came over these days, she hid in Tibet with her cronies Ding Dong, she couldn't get any support from the Zheng family, and finally survived until the Xia army retreated, but she received an ultimatum for Zheng's auspicious marriage.

Cui Yingying broke out now, she would rather marry the dog slaughterer than marry a sanctimonious cowardly soft egg like Zheng Zhongmian. She would rather die to free this marriage from the shackles of this marriage.

Finally relieved.

Cui Yingying felt inexplicably relaxed.

In the boundless nightmare, she seemed to be falling downward, but at the most critical moment, a pair of powerful hands suddenly hugged him, preventing her from sinking into the bottomless abyss.

Those arms are very strong, very secure, and very warm......

She slowly opened her eyes, only to feel that all she saw were shaking shadows. A little gasp, every breath my throat hurt surprisingly, and I almost fainted again. She didn't even dare to moan, waiting for the figures swaying in front of her to slowly become clearer.

A majestic man more than eight feet tall, dressed in silver bright light armor, holding a long black spear in his hand.

It took a while for her to make out what she was seeing. A personal maid has quick eyes. Seeing Cui Yingying wake up, she shouted happily: "Lady, you woke up, it's good that you're okay, thank God!" ”

Cui Yingying's eyes rolled, but she still couldn't figure it out. There are fragments of memories in a trance in my mind, but they can't be reconciled. It was as if a pair of hands had lifted themselves from the cold and despair......

Thinking of this, the girl forgot about the pain, bit her lip and rolled her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly, Cui Yingying was taken aback. Only then did she realize that she was not dreaming, because she saw Luo Shixin's shadow, and there would be no shadow in the dream, nor would there be warmth that could be felt.

Cui Yingying bit her lip, looked at Luo Shixin, and asked cautiously, "Did you save me?" ”

Luo Shixin nodded: "Hmm! ”

Cui Yingying said again: "Will you protect me in the future!" ”

When Luo Shixin heard this, his heart was about to jump out. He nodded heavily and said, "Hmm! ”

"Not a day, not a month, not a year!" Cui Yingying said seriously: "It's a lifetime, it's forever." ”

Cui Yingying is very nervous and very much looking forward to it. She knew that with her identity, it would be very difficult to find a beloved to marry. She was even more afraid that Luo Shixin would reject her.

Obviously, Luo Shixin is not a disappointing person, he nodded solemnly and said: "I am willing, you can rest assured, with me, no one will dare to hurt you!" ”

PS: The monthly pass is currently eighty-nine, and it will break 100 at 10 o'clock, so add more, not 100, I will continue to rest.
