Li Shimin sat by the river, with a sword in his hand, looking down at the water, looking at the reflection in the water.

The man in the water had a black blindfold on his left eye, which made his originally handsome face a little more fierce, "I feel quite murderous wearing this blindfold." He smiled self-deprecatingly, reached out and touched the blindfold again, and struggled to adjust the lower position. He didn't look back and asked, "You said that if I went south to Pyongyang with 20,000 horses, would I be able to capture Pyongyang, and would I be able to retreat from Pyongyang?" ”

Li Xiuning looked at this younger brother with some distress, he had a cheerful personality and changed a lot during this time. Although he still tried to act indifferent in front of him, she knew that many times when no one was around, he would smash things in the house, or ride a horse to a place where no one was around, and slash with a sword.

Li Shimin didn't get a reply over there, and he was not discouraged, and continued to take care of himself, "To be honest, I really admire Na Luo Cheng, although this person is from the Xiangyang Luo family, but he grew up in Zhangqiu when he was a child, and he only learned to strike iron and never learned any bows, sabers and guns, let alone the art of war." ”

"But this guy seems to have been born to be a general, suppressing bandits and thieves, training soldiers and fighting, and he is good at everything. This battle of Liao seems to have only made him Luo Cheng and Luo Yi Li Jing, and the others are their foils, even Mai Tie Cane Xin Shixiong also lost his life, and Yuwen Shu Yu Zhongwen came to protect his children and other officials and cut their titles. ”

"Luo Cheng can win, one is bravery, and the other is luck." Li Xiuning finally spoke.

"Luck? Luck is really important, but I think it's more important to be really good. If Luo Cheng didn't have real skills, he wouldn't have so much luck. I have carefully collected a lot of Luo Cheng's experience of going south these days, as well as the process of his attack on Pyongyang, and I think that if I take 20,000 people south, it will be difficult to win. First of all, you have to have a high prestige, so that in that atmosphere of great defeat, you can let 20,000 people sacrifice their lives with you. ”

"Secondly, to break Pyongyang, the most important thing is to be bold and take advantage of the enemy's weakness to open the city gates. If the outer city is not opened, with Luo Cheng's 20,000 horses, it will not be able to defeat Pyongyang at all. As for Luo Cheng taking the initiative to abandon Pyongyang and destroy the city and leave, it is even more wonderful that people can't help but applaud. This guy is really a natural general. ”

"He will be your brother-in-law soon, don't keep calling him Luo Cheng Luo Cheng or that guy in the future, you have to call him brother-in-law, you have to be polite."

Li Shimin pouted, "Sister, I will call him brother-in-law in person, but I will never admit in my heart that he is my brother-in-law, because he is not worthy of you at all." ”

"Since ancient times, heroes have no matter where they come from, and you shouldn't be so stingy-minded. Luo Cheng is indeed from an ordinary background, but because of this, he seems to be more and more proficient. An Eastern Crusade, like a big wave sweeping sand, washed away the incompetence of many noble generals, but it showed Luo Cheng's achievement. He was able to seal the Duke of Qi today, relying on his own ability, a real self-made man. We have no qualifications to look down on him, and if we want to say that we are not worthy, it is just that I am not worthy of him. ”

"Sister, it's him who deserves you."

"What's not worthy, our family is the Guogong Mansion, and now people themselves are Guogong. Our family's national dukedom relied on the bloody battles of our ancestors, while the national dukedom of our family was won by ourselves. Shimin, if one day, you can earn the title of duke of a country by yourself, then you may be qualified to evaluate your brother-in-law like that. ”

A hint of annoyance flashed in Li Shimin's one-eyed eye.

"Sister, one day, I will also be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom by my own ability."

"Okay, sister, wait for that day to come, Shimin, it's not early, let's go back, don't let my father wait."

The emperor's squad returned to the dynasty, and millions of soldiers and civilians also withdrew to Guannai.

Li Yuan was changed from the Taishou of Xuansu County to the Taishou of Liucheng County, although Li Yuan did not show anything, but Li Shimin was very dissatisfied, he felt that this was the emperor looking down on his father.

Otherwise, why let Luo Yilai take over as Xuansu's taishou, but let his father stay away from Liaodong and come to this Liucheng to serve as the taishou?

"Sister, that day Chai Shao was looking for his eldest brother to drink, and he was very drunk, and he cried when he was drunk."

"Oh." Li Sanniang just replied lightly.

"Sister, you know that your father was going to promise you to Chai Shao, and even the two families have long known about this. Chai Shao always thought that he would marry you, but now his father asked you to be a concubine for Luo Cheng, not only did I feel humiliated, but Chai Shao also felt that he had a hatred for taking his wife from Luo Cheng. ”

"I have never been officially engaged to Chai Shao, let alone married him, where did I say that I took my wife? Shimin, you don't have to deal with Chai Shao again in the future, let alone talk nonsense together. ”

"Sister, Chai Shao said that sooner or later he will have a duel with Luo Cheng."

Li Xiuning stopped and looked at his younger brother.

"Chai Shao can't beat Luo Cheng, he shouldn't be able to let go of this matter, if he can't let it go, then it will be difficult for him to make a big difference."

The breeze blew, stirring a few locks of Li Xiuning's hair, blowing her hair wantonly.

Li Shimin asked with a hippie smile, "Sister, haven't you really liked Chai Shao?" ”

"The marriage of children, the order of parents, and the words of matchmakers, how can there be a reason for their own private teaching. I didn't know Chai Shao before, and I won't know it in the future. ”

Late October.

Luo Cheng, who had been away from the Central Plains for nearly two years, finally landed at Penglai Port in Donglai County by boat.

The boat stopped, but Luo Cheng stood there stunned.

"Fifth brother, the ship is docked." Little Six Shixin reminded him.

"Oh." Luo Cheng came back to his senses, looked at the water port, and looked at the countless Donglai officials, gentry, and powerful businessmen who came to greet him on the wharf.

When he left the Central Plains, he was just an eight-grade sesame grain big military Sima, and when he came back, he was already the world-famous Duke Luo of Qi State.

is still alive, and there is a nickname and a loyal martial arts, and Luo Cheng is the only one for thousands of years.

At the wharf of Penglai Port, the commanders and colonels of the 200,000 troops of the Donglai Naval Division are waiting in line, although the emperor issued a strike order, but Luo Cheng has not arrived, and the naval division does not dare to disband.

Luo Cheng stood on the boat, looked at the generals one by one, and secretly thought in his heart, this is 200,000 sailors, and there are 20,000 soldiers of the Fifth Left Army behind him who have survived a hundred battles.

The time has not yet come, the time has not come.

If it was a few years later at this time, maybe Luo Cheng would really raise the flag.

It's a pity that if he dares to raise the flag now, it is estimated that even if it is the more than 20,000 soldiers of the Left Fifth Army who followed him for the rest of his life in Liaodong, not many people will really follow him and spill their blood to rebel together.

It's a pity that these 200,000 troops will be disbanded and return home after tomorrow.
