In the early morning, Li Hao finally fell asleep unconsciously because he was too tired, and his left hand kept holding Turandot's hand, as if he was afraid that she would quietly disappear while he was not paying attention.

Li Hao slept very hard, yesterday's battle was too fierce, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he was still covered with wounds, and his wounds had not been treated, so he ran to accompany Turandot, and now the wounds all over his body have begun to scab over, sticking together with his clothes.

When Li Hao woke up, before his eyes opened, he reached out to touch the couch, but he didn't expect to touch the empty, Li Hao was suddenly shocked, opened his eyes and saw that the couch was empty, he suddenly fell cold from head to toe, rushed out of the medical tent with an exclamation, and called out in a panic: "Turandot!" Turandot ......"

After a night of treatment, there were not many injured patients in the medical tent area, but there were still many patients with minor injuries waiting here, and when they saw Li Hao screaming wildly, they all looked at him.

Just when Li Hao was spinning around like a headless fly, he saw five Graceful figures walking out of a tent, Li Ping shouted and asked: "Early in the morning, what is your name, the wounded soldiers are recuperating, you can disturb others!" ”

Li Hao looked at it, but found that Turandot was among them, supported by Qin Su and Gu Lina, his face was much better than last night, Li Hao was not very surprised when he saw this, and hurriedly greeted him, and said happily: "Turandot, you finally woke up, and you didn't say a word to me, I thought it was ......."

"Why?" Turandot smiled, "Thought I was carried to the morgue?" ”

"Bah, blah,." Li Ping on the side snorted repeatedly, "Early in the morning, you can't say unlucky things." ”

Qin Su smiled slightly at this time: "Childe, we went to visit Turandot this morning, and found that she had woken up, and the fever had subsided, she wanted to get out of bed and walk, so we took her out, we originally wanted to wake you up, but thinking of your fierce battle yesterday, you were physically and mentally exhausted, and you must be extremely sleepy, so we didn't dare to disturb you." ”

At this time, Lu Yun and the three special operations captains came over, and when they saw Li Hao talking to the ladies of his family, they didn't dare to step forward, and waited quietly on the side, Li Ping saw Lu Yun and them, and knew that Li Hao was going to be busy with business, so he raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, let's take Turandot around and relax, the weather is so hot, you can find a cool place to stay." ”

Li Hao turned his head and saw Lu Yun and them, and naturally guessed Li Ping's intentions, and secretly praised this little girl in his heart for being quite sensible, so he took care of it: "According to yesterday's prescription, I will give her another dose of medicine this morning and tonight to prevent the recurrence of the condition." After speaking, he turned his head and walked towards Lu Yun.

Li Hao came to Lu Yun, the four of them saluted, and Feiying said: "My lord, the battle damage has been counted, and there are only more than 900 soldiers left in the city, of which 300 are seriously injured and more than 500 are slightly injured. ”

Li Hao nodded and asked, "How many people are there in the special combat team?" ”

The faces of the three special operations captains turned pale, and they replied in turn: "The Flying Eagles killed three people in the battle, and one person was seriously injured. ”

"The Cheetah team killed four people and seriously injured two."

"The bayonets killed four people."

Li Hao sighed awe-inspiringly, even the special combat team had suffered such heavy losses, yesterday's battle was too tragic, Li Hao asked again: "How many right guards are left?" ”

The Eagle replied, "There are only about two hundred and thirty left. ”

"Four thousand children, now there are only nine hundred left." Li Hao frowned and snorted coldly, "This blood debt, I will repay it with blood!" ”

When they saw Li Hao with such a look, they knew that Gao Chang was bound to be unlucky, Li Hao generally did not get angry easily, and once he got angry, the consequences would be very serious.

After a while, Li Hao asked Lu Yun again: "Lu Yun, what's the matter with you?" ”

Lu Yun said: "Young master, I have a happy event to report to you, according to General Chen Bin, the Longyou Li clan has already learned that the caravan was robbed, so they transported five thousand stone of grain to Tingzhou, but due to the delay of the war, they have not dared to approach Tingzhou, last night, General Chen sent a fast horse to report that Tingzhou was relieved, Gaochang was defeated, they have rushed to this side, it is expected to arrive in three days, and there is a caravan of five hundred people with them. ”

"Good! Meddlesome! Li Hao clapped his hands happily when he heard this, although the corn in the city can last for a few months, but it is an extraordinary period, and there is no choice, if there is a choice, it is better to eat rice grain, besides, his corn still has to be kept to make wine, but it is a pity that after this war, the spirits in the city are exhausted, and livestock such as chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep are almost eaten.

Li Hao hurriedly sent people to inquire about those big families, who else has livestock, if there is, hurry up to reproduce, followed by the fields outside the city should also be planted quickly, now it is midsummer, and it will be autumn in two months, Tingzhou itself can also produce thousands of stones every year, this must not be wasted, planting must be encouraged.

Then, Li Hao returned to the Assassin's Mansion and began to write a chapter, reporting on the war, listing Gaochang's crimes, describing the tragic battle situation and battle damage, and all the meritorious people were listed in the chapter, and he wrote nearly 10,000 words.

Then, Li Hao wrote another letter, which was an article he wrote himself, called "The Teacher's Statement", the content was not long, but it was quite imposing, Li Hao wrote the word "urgent" on the cover of the two folds, and asked Lu Yun to send all the two folds to the post station.

When the post steward saw these two letters, he didn't dare to slack off, and even sent 800 miles to Chang'an urgently.

Re-stocking livestock is too slow, just after the baptism of war in Tingzhou is in ruins, need to develop as soon as possible, Li Hao sent people to Xizhou, from Xizhou to introduce a large number of livestock, the city shops have also reopened, only less than a month, Tingzhou is like a little bit again, now Li Hao in the minds of the people of Tingzhou, that is simply the existence of the savior, the people's praise of Li Hao has been compiled into a ballad, spread everywhere.

Li Shimin and Xue Yantuo in the Yinshan Prairie for nearly half a year, although he fought countless victories, but after all, because of the away battle, he could not annihilate Xue Yantuo, and although they said that they sent 150,000 troops this time, but because it was a personal expedition, the logistics men and horses accounted for 40,000 people, and the real combat power was a little more than 100,000, the grassland was vast, and it was easy to wipe out Xue Yantuo's 200,000 army, Li Shimin also saw that if this war dragged on, it would only consume the national strength of the Tang Dynasty in vain. was willing to cede land and pay compensation and sign many unequal treaties, which was regarded as finding a step for Li Shimin, so Li Shimin ordered Zhuo Kai to return to the court and return to Chang'an with his troops.

Although Li Shimin failed to destroy Xue Yantuo this time, he also broke Xue Yantuo's most elite army, Xue Yantuo's 200,000 army is now less than 100,000, and the national strength is seriously depleted, and it is difficult to recover in recent years.

Li Shimin returned to Chang'an, because it was a triumph, Chang'an was empty, and the people greeted each other on the road, all of them praised Li Shimin's supreme merits, and Li Shimin's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he entered Chengtianmen with high spirits.

However, Li Shimin had just arrived at the Ganlu Palace, only to take off his battle robe, and the Yellow Gate came to report that the left servant of Shangshu Province had an important matter to report to Xuanling, and Li Shimin announced that he was in the Ganlu Palace.

Li Shimin put on a dragon robe and came to the Ganlu Palace, Fang Xuanling was already waiting here, meeting is long live Shanhu, kowtowing, Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand: "Aiqing is flat, I haven't seen him for many days, Aiqing is still so diligent, as soon as I came back, Aiqing came to do something." ”

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "The stakes are very high, and the ministers dare not delay." ”

"Huh?" Li Shimin saw that his expression was wrong, and he immediately smiled, and asked Xu Lian to present Fang Xuanling's recital, and unfolded it.

"Bastard!" Li Shimin suddenly slapped the fold on the dragon case, glared and shouted angrily, "Gao Changan dares to bully Yu Zhen!" Is Lu Wentai's neck itchy! ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, a month ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discussed with the ministers, and finally agreed that the Ministry of Shangshu Hou Junji would lead the guards to set off lightly, borrow 20,000 troops in Liangzhou, and gallop to the aid of Tingzhou. ”

Li Shimin frowned slowly: "Seventy thousand troops besiege Tingzhou, seventy thousand, Li Hao's child...... Will he be able to hold out the reinforcements coming? ”

Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "A few months ago, Your Majesty sent Zuo Wuwei Zhonglang to lead Chen Bin to lead 1,000 troops and escort 3,000 troops to Tingzhou. ”

"Yes, and Chen Bin." Li Shimin's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Chen Bin is brave and good at fighting, and a thousand Zuo Wuwei are even more elite troops, they will definitely be able to help Li Hao, and they can hold Tingzhou...... Right? ”

In the end, he suddenly lost his confidence, no matter how elite a thousand Zuo Wuwei is, they are not immortals, the other party is 70,000 people, Li Shimin wanted to deceive himself, but found that he couldn't deceive himself, so he could only let Fang Xuanling deceive himself.

Fang Xuanling is a real person, he doesn't dare to bully the king, but he wants to comfort Li Shimin, so he said: "Things in the world are changing rapidly, Li Shi is crazy and slips past people, and there is no virtue at all, maybe he has abandoned the city and fled." ”

"That's right! Right! Li Shimin suddenly slapped the case and said excitedly, "Li Hao, that bastard has a tight head, he will definitely not stay in Tingzhou and wait for death, he will definitely abandon the city and escape." ”

At this time, the yellow gate outside the hall suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Zheng Guogong asks to see." ”

Zheng Guogong is not an outsider, but the first minister of the Tang Dynasty - Wei Zheng.

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately said: "Xuan! ”

"Xuan Zheng Guogong Manna Hall Audience!"

Wei Zheng strode into the Manna Hall with the notebook in hand, and after the mountain called and saluted, Li Shimin asked him to calm down, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Wei Qing, I haven't seen you for several months, is your body okay?" ”

Wei Zheng's face suddenly turned bad when he heard this, he tried his best to oppose Li Shimin's personal expedition, Li Shimin wanted to go, and finally took advantage of his illness to quietly go on the expedition, which is simply a violation of yang and yin, of course, this word is not very appropriate here, basically that is the meaning.

Although Wei Zheng is a minister, he is not stunned, the matter has passed, and it is not interesting to pursue it, and he has more important things to do now, so he is too lazy to talk to Li Shimin, so he replied perfunctorily: "The minister is in good health, Your Majesty Xie is worried." ”

"It's okay if you're fine, it's okay if you're fine." Li Shimin's expression was gloomy, he was really worried about Wei Zheng's body, and after experiencing Li Hao's affairs, he felt how precious these capable ministers around him were.

Wei Zheng saw that Li Shimin's expression was different, and his heart softened, and asked, "Your Majesty, but you have something on your mind?" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Wei Qing came to see me this time, but there is something to do?" ”

"Yes!" Wei Zheng suddenly took a step forward, raised the song fold above his head, and said loudly, "The minister wants to impeach the prince!" ”
