Li Er looked at the devastated high jaws and the corpses everywhere. Shook his head helplessly, it's too miserable! Li Er thought that he might fail, but he definitely didn't expect to lose so badly.

On this expedition, Li Er put his position very right. Since Li Yuan said that he should let himself go to the army to recuperate if he is sick, it is good to be a generalissimo of the Right Army. Then Li Er just sat on a puppet, and when he arrived in the army, the military affairs were handed over to Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing. I really went to the army to recuperate, as long as it was military affairs, I didn't care about anything. Anyway, as long as you have food and drink every day, it's done.

Li Er knew that this was Li Yuan who was still angry with himself because of Li Yuanba's affairs. This expedition is just because Li Yuan really can't send his son.

Li Yuan has a strong plot of going into battle as a father and son, and as long as he leads the army, he will inevitably send a son as a marshal. Even Li Yuanji, a teenager who was only a teenager, was named Jinyang Stay-behind and awarded the title of Chief Governor of the Taiyuan Road March. This time the Western Expedition Xue Ju was such a big thing, and if he didn't send a son to watch it, Li Yuan was really not at ease.

Everything comes down to Liu Wenjing's idiocy and Yin Kaishan's connivance. Liu Wenjing, as the marching chief, actually wanted to pull the team out to deter Xue Ju. Yin Kaishan was in the way, and he didn't stop it. And so tragedy happened!

Halfway through the armed parade, the Qin army sent troops. Xue Ju's son, Xue Rengao, personally led tens of thousands of troops to confront the Tang army. At this time, the Tang army was superior in numbers, and Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan did not have the slightest fear. But at this moment, Xue Ju suddenly took his three thousand iron horsemen, as if they had come out of the ground, and rushed straight to the rear of the Tang army.

The team was in chaos all of a sudden, and Xue Rengao covered up and killed from the front. How could the chaotic army formation withstand such a flanking attack, but after holding out for half an hour, the whole army collapsed. Xue Ju led his cavalry to gallop across the country, and the horse lance scimitar in his hand continued to slash and stab. The Tang army suffered heavy casualties, and the number of killed actually reached sixty percent. The generals Murong Luohu, Li Anyuan, Liu Hongji and others are unknown.

When Li Er got the news and led his troops to advance into the high jaw. It's already powerless! After Xue Ju and Xue Rengao won a big victory, they also needed to have some time to rest. After making contact with Li Er, he led his troops to retreat to Jingzhou to rest.

"Your Highness, how can I explain this to Your Majesty." The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the corpses everywhere and was a little stupid. Truth be told, it was the first time he had seen so many corpses. The scale of this battle is far greater than the battle of Huoyi.

"I can't explain it! So many people died, there is really no way to explain. Please be guilty of the above table! Li Er sighed, although it was Liu Wenjing who opened the mountain in a daze, but as the main leader, he still had to carry the pot.

"Then Xue Ju ......!" The eldest grandson Wuji lamented in his heart!

"He won such a great victory, killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of his own losses, and presumably they will have to rest. Without a month or two, it is impossible for Xue Ju to make a comeback. Let's go back to Chang'an, either give me full powers, or stay in Chang'an. I don't want to fight like this. Li Er left on his horse, and the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly followed.

Li Yuan of Chang'an knew of Li Er's defeat, and immediately called Pei Lian, Li Jiancheng and others to discuss countermeasures.

Because of the defeat, the atmosphere in the hall was very dull. These ministers, who have come all the way from Jinyang and want to follow Li Yuan to achieve meritorious deeds and seek wealth for their children and grandchildren, have now become quails.

This battle was really lost so badly, Li Er, who had always been able to fight for battles, was actually beaten and fled back to Chang'an. Now I stay in the palace of King Qin all day long, and I handed over the excerpt of the invitation to participate early!

Seeing the strange atmosphere, Li Jiancheng coughed lightly and walked out, bowed to Li Yuan and said, "Father doesn't have to worry too much about this matter, although the Qin army defeated the second brother. Presumably, the injury was also very serious, otherwise he would not have retreated to rest. As long as our army fights again, it may not be without the strength to fight.

As for the second brother, although he acted a little. But there is still loyalty to his father, and the sons think that there is no need to punish too much. Lower the title to show punishment. ”

Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan gasped, they were about to be demoted and punished. What if it is a heavy punishment? Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will be abolished? The two of them are directly responsible for this defeat, and Li Er has to fall so badly. So what about yourself?

The two glanced at each other, and they all went out of class and knelt on the ground. Liu Wenjing kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty!" This time to defeat the responsibility of all the ministers and Yin Kaishan, His Royal Highness the King of Qin was seriously ill and has been recuperating in the rear army. At the most critical time of this battle, the destruction of the entire army was almost a foregone conclusion. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the King of Qin leading troops to help, the ministers would not have been able to see His Majesty! ”

"This matter really has nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Qin, and the responsibility for the defeat of the army is all the responsibility of a certain and Liu Wenjing." Yin Kaishan was also on the side to exonerate Li Er.

They are all smart people, and they know that protecting Li Er is protecting themselves. As the marshal of the army, Li Erbao came down, and the two were also heroes from the dragon. Although he will be punished some now, Li Yuan is a person who misses the old, and it is only a matter of time before he recovers.

When the two of them talked like this, Li Jiancheng's face suddenly darkened. Yin glanced at the two of them and stopped talking. finally seized an opportunity to teach his younger brother who was obsessed with him, but such two guys appeared. Until now, Li Jiancheng can't forget the scene where Li Er hugged Li Yuanba's corpse and roared at himself. The look in his eyes was very much like a wolf, very much like it. Li Jiancheng dreamed several times, but was awakened by nightmares.

In the dream, Li Er was holding a strong bow and a horse lance, and next to him were yellow turban wrestlers. The sharp arrows shot by the boxwood bow pierced through his chest at once. And Li Yuanba, who turned into a powerful ghost, also came out of the ground. Dragging his own legs, dragging himself into the endless abyss.

Every time he woke up from a dream, the sweat on Li Jiancheng's body would wet his clothes. And Li Shimin made outstanding achievements, and he was named the king of Qin. Although Li Jiancheng is a prince, he is afraid of this younger brother who can fight and is accustomed to fighting.

Last night, I discussed with my henchmen and staff for a night, and came up with a covert and serial way to deal with Li Shimin. Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan just after he started. In Li Jiancheng's heart, he had already greeted the women in the two people's families.

"Humph! lost his teacher and humiliated the country, but he also saved the prince. The king of Qin is sick, so you should march carefully. He did things so badly that he damaged my Tang military prestige. Someone came, took off Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan's official uniforms, and put them in prison to be handed over to the Criminal Department to convict. Li Yuan didn't mention Li Er, but the two guys in front of him couldn't help but deal with it. Otherwise, there would be no need to fight in the future.

He couldn't mention Li Er, letting Li Er go to the army to recuperate was what he said, once Li Er called out to hit the sky, his face was ugly.

The guards immediately rushed up and stripped off Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing's official mansions. put on the shackles, and escorted the two out.

disposed of the defeated Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan, but the matter was far from being resolved. Everyone knows that Xue Ju is just resting and recuperating, and he will make a comeback in a month or two. "Ladies and gentlemen, what we have to do now is how to defeat Xue Ju. Pull out this stinger behind my Datang, I don't know what your best plan is? ”

Li Yuan's words echoed in the main hall, and no one squeaked. Li Er is a commander who can conquer and fight habitually, and his subordinates Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan. Liu Hongji, Murong Luohu. These are all first-class generals, who followed Li Yuan to fight the world when they started the army in Jinyang. The subordinate soldiers are also all veterans brought by Jinyang's troops. Such a configuration has lost the battle, who still has the courage to lead the troops into battle.

After a long time, no one said a word. Li Yuan couldn't help but get irritable, and looked left and right. On weekdays, these people have a thousand clever plans and ten thousand faithful. But when it comes to the critical time, none of them are used.

Li Jiancheng saw that the hall was quiet, and he could hear people's heartbeats. He stood up and said, "Father, although Xue Ju is good at fighting. But my Datang is not muddy, and my sons ask for orders to lead my Datang athletes to the expedition. In this battle, Erchen will definitely take Xue Ju's head back. ”

Li Yuan's eyes widened, and his son was reliable at the critical moment. Sure enough, it was a father and son soldier who went into battle, and Li Jiancheng was able to stand up at a critical moment, which made Li Yuan very pleased.

"Prince, you can stand up when the country is in danger and the society is shaking. There is the demeanor of a prince of a country, and I am very relieved! It's just that the prince is the foundation of the country, how can I think about this matter again. Pei Lian, Tang Jian, Li Shentong, Yan Shigu stay for a while, and the rest will disperse! Li Yuan knew that he couldn't discuss anything with these people. The meeting was simply dismissed and the meeting was changed to a small meeting.

The efficiency of holding a small meeting is much higher, because it is not in front of a large public, and all the speeches are very enthusiastic.

"Big brother, there's nothing wrong with Shimin. His men were all foot soldiers, and he was already inferior to cavalry. was charged from behind, and there was no Xuanjia army in the army. How do you keep him at bay with the enemy's cavalry? Besides, when the two armies are facing each other, the people of the world are not in the army! Li Shentong relied on the fact that he was Li Yuan's cousin, and his speech was no different from before. However, Li Yuan didn't care, after all, blood is thicker than water. Except for his own brothers, this is the closest person in his blood.

is the closest person and the most natural ally. Even if it is sometimes a little rebellious, there is nothing wrong with faithfulness. And loyalty is what Li Yuan values the most. In the newly established dynasty, it is more reliable to use more royal families.

"The minister seconded the proposal! The minister also believed that there was nothing wrong with the King of Qin. Li Shentong took the lead, and Tang Jian immediately responded.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Next is Yan Shigu.

"Uh......! The minister seconded the proposal! The last person to speak was the old fox Pei Lone.

"Okay, don't talk about King Qin's affairs. I naturally have a plan, now let's talk about the prince's own invitation. Li Yuan waved his hand, he hadn't thought of punishing Li Er in the first place. The most important thing now is how to repel Xue Ju's attack. This guy has already formed a mortal threat to the emerging Tang Empire. If this stinger is not pulled out, Li Yuan will not even be able to sleep.

"Whatever battles the prince fought, the people of the world fought like this. If the prince goes, he will be stronger than the people? Don't look at the prince's nearly thirty years old, but the prince's strength lies in government affairs, not in the way of the military formation. Li Shentong was the first to speak, he was a member of the royal family, so naturally there were not so many taboos when he spoke. In his opinion, both the crown prince and the king of Qin are his nephews.

As an uncle, he is an elder, and he has no scruples about judging juniors.

"The crown prince is the prince of a country, if the prince goes on an expedition, if there is something missing. It will shake the country's capital! The minister thought that the prince was not suitable to go on the expedition. "Yan Shigu is a relatively upright person, he is a newcomer who Li Yuan attached when he was stationed in Changchun Palace, and he has no obvious political tendencies. That's why Li Yuan left him behind this time.

"If the prince goes on an expedition, there will be no room for things to turn around. If you lose again, then ...... Fear......! Tang Jian didn't dare to say the following words, and the king of Qin defeated the prince to fight. If the prince is defeated again, does he want his father Li Yuan to drive the expedition in person? Obviously, Tang Jian is also not optimistic about Li Jiancheng leading the troops to the battle.

"Eunuch Pei, what do you think?" Everyone spoke, leaving Pei Lin alone, sitting there without squeaking. Li Yuan naturally wanted to ask this old fox what he had in mind. According to past experience, Pei Lian's words are always able to his thoughts.

The minister thought that the king of Qin was indeed stronger than the prince in the military formation. Besides, the crown prince is the prince, and what he has to learn is not the way of the military formation. It's the dispatch and strategizing in the army, and it is indeed inappropriate for the prince to go on the expedition. The minister thought that it was better to let King Qin continue to lead the troops. "Pei Lin is worthy of being a roundworm in Li Yuan's stomach!

Li Jiancheng was appointed as the prince, and the two younger brothers fought the world, which was the basic political pattern set by Li Yuan. Li Yuan will definitely not change because of Li Shimin's defeat, let alone Li Yuan's character. He is not at ease when others take command of the expedition, and now only Li Shimin, a son, is in Chang'an and can continue to lead the army.

Li Yuan hesitated, but nodded. Pei Lian's words were speaking to his heart. Moreover, in terms of the military formation, Li Yuan is indeed not optimistic about Li Jiancheng.

"But King Qin was newly defeated, and the morale of the army was low. Murong Luohu, Liu Hongji and others did not know whether they were alive or dead in the Battle of Gaojaw. Liu Wenjing and Yin Kaishan were also put into prison by His Majesty, and there was a real lack of generals in the army of King Qin. If the King of Qin goes out like this, I'm afraid it will be ......! Tang Jian said with some worry.

The scene was quiet again, this time the defeat was too bad. Not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but so did the generals. Even Murong Luohu and generals of Liu Hongji's level are unknown in life and death. Li Er wants to fight, how can he do it without a general.

Li Yuan also frowned, these are the old team of Jinyang's army, and they are the most trustworthy group of people. Now that he has suffered heavy losses, he really can't think of anyone's subordinates who can come up. Pull to the northwest and fight with the fierce Xue Jubu.

Li Shentong looked at everyone's faces, and suddenly smiled: "Big brother, little brother Bao Ju alone." It will definitely help the people of the world to pacify Xue Jubu! ”

"Who?" Li Yuan's eyes widened, looked at Li Shentong, who was laughing, and asked eagerly.
