From sending troops to recovering the lost territory, it took less than a month for Li Tang's army to return to the hands of Li Tangjun, and the undefeated myth of Miss Li Jiasan spread all over the Central Plains again.

Taking advantage of the aftermath of this victory, Ling Shuang replenished his rations and equipment in Jinyang City, waved his army south, and directly attacked Hedong County, where the rebel general Lu Chongmao was located.

Liu Wuzhou's defeat and retreat from the Turks caught Lu Chongmao off guard, and Miss Li's army was already in the city, and in desperation, she could only hold out.

Ling Shuang also did not order the siege of the city, but just asked people to keep shouting outside the city that they were not guilty of the past, so that the generals in the city would abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and kill Lu Chongmao in exchange for Li Tang's military fame, which caused the rebel generals in the city to change their minds and be ready to move.

Lu Chongmao knew that the defeat was decided, but he knew that Li Tangjun would never let him go, and he had no intention of surrendering, so he stalemate for about half a month, and a general in the city finally couldn't help but take action, cut off Lu Chongmao's head, opened the city gate, and threw himself into Li Tangjun's camp.

Ling Shuang personally met the general in the tent camp, he was a sturdy, tall, shrewd and capable man, and his two sledgehammers were impressive.

"Report your name."

"Wei Chi Jingde."

"Is that you?" Ling Shuang's beautiful eyes lit up, although she hadn't seen it, but she had heard of the leader of the mining gang in Luoyang back then, as an intelligence collector lurking in Luoyang, these local snakes in Luoyang, she spent a lot of effort to collect, in order to one day collect some people for her use.

This swarthy strong man who killed Lu Chongmao and came to defect was the one who betrayed Luoyang City with Liu Wuzhou back then. When Wei Chi Jingde and Lü Chongmao, who raised troops in Mayi, asked Liu Wuzhou for help, Liu Wuzhou sent to support Lü Chongmao. The person who helped resist the Tang army was him.

After Liu Wuzhou's army was defeated and fled into the Turks, and the news of being killed by the Turkic Khan reached Hedong County, Wei Chi Jingde began to think about a way out, and following people like Lu Chongmao would definitely not end well. So he killed Lu Chongmao and came to defect.

The generals in the tent saw that the comer was fierce, and at first glance it was an unruly character, and they spoke one after another. said that this kind of traitor seeking glory can be treacherous for the sake of fame and fortune, and sooner or later one day he will regard Li Tangjun as his stepping board, and propose to pull him out of the tent and behead him. Ling Shuang tried his best to disagree. He left his life behind, and personally appointed him as her bodyguard, commanding a thousand guards.

Wei Chi Jingde escaped death, and he admired this Miss Li from the bottom of his heart more and more, although she is a woman, she has such a mind and courage, isn't this the person he has been looking for loyalty? immediately knelt down to show loyalty, and swore allegiance to only the third lady in this life.

Ling Shuang was overjoyed. immediately ordered him to be the pioneer and Liu Wenjing. Wei Zheng and others led the army into Xia County to appease the people in the city.

……

Not long after Ling Shuang entered the city, he met a family hiding in a cellar, and was searched out by Liu Wenjing's personal soldiers.

Most of the family were old, young, sick and disabled, and the youngest of them was a six-year-old girl, with a yellow and thin face, who was hugging a soldier's thigh and biting his armor hard, but was slapped a few meters away, and fell to the ground in a drowsy state, unable to get up again.

"Bastard thing! What are you doing! ”

Ling Shuang asked on horseback, and the soldiers who searched for people stopped one after another, turned to look at Ling Shuang on horseback, and recognized that this heroic and sassy handsome woman was the famous Princess Pingyang, the dream lover of many soldiers of the Tang Army.

The beater said in a heartfelt voice: "Back to the princess, General Liu asked us to arrest people, and those who have taken refuge in Lu Chongmao's rebels in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, will be arrested." ”

"Liu Wenjing?" Ling Shuang was stunned for a moment, looked down at the little girl who had fainted on the ground, her face flashed with anger, and she shouted: "How can this be reasonable, don't let people go quickly!" What are the sins of the people of the city, but the rebels are guilty! ”

So saying, he turned over and dismounted, picked her up, and pinched her among the people, and the little girl woke up and cried loudly.

"Little sister, don't cry, sister, let people let your family go."

The little girl stopped crying when she heard this, her swollen cheeks that had been slapped by the soldier looked particularly pitiful, and Ling Shuang lowered her head and kissed her swollen cheeks gently.

"This ......" The sergeant was obviously Liu Wenjing's subordinate, and he hesitated a little when he heard this, "The humble position is just acting on orders, please don't embarrass the princess." ”

Ling Shuang raised her head and asked, "Where is Liu Wenjing?" ”

"It's in King Qin's tent."

Ling Shuang was stunned for a moment, "Brother Shimin is here too?" ”

She turned and handed the little girl into the hands of several female guards behind her, told them to heal her, turned on her horse, and galloped in the direction the soldier pointed.

……

In Li Shimin's tent, Liu Wenjing and Li Shimin were discussing something in a low voice, Ling Shuang broke into the tent angrily, and the two stopped talking and raised their heads.

"Sister, who messed with you?"

Ling Shuang didn't answer, turned around and stared at Liu Wenjing fiercely: "Liu Junshi, you asked people to arrest the people of Xia County?" It's just vexatious, and I'm about to order the people to be released. ”

Liu Wenjing smiled calmly: "The princess misunderstood, how dare the last general give such an order, this is the emperor's will." ”

Ling Shuang was stunned when she heard this, and looked back at Li Shiming beside Liu Wenjing, with questions in her eyes.

Li Shimin said: "Sister, my father has issued an order to take the mob sacrifice flag of Xia County to avenge the fourth uncle. ”

Ling Shuang trembled, stared at Li Shimin and asked, "Do you also agree with your father to do this?" ”

Li Shimin didn't dare to look at her, his face was ashamed: "I haven't admonished, but my father has made up his mind, no matter how much I persuade him, the death of the fourth uncle made his father quite angry, and he only wanted to let these rebels in Xia County bury the fourth emperor uncle, but I am afraid that my father will not take back his life." ”

Ling Shuang hurriedly said: "Why, they are just innocent people, our Tang Army is not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, what is it for fighting for this world?" Isn't it to save the people from fire and water, and to relieve the people from hanging upside down? ”

Li Shimin was silent, his brows were tightly locked, Li Yuan's holy decree had been issued, and there was no place to turn around.

"Brother Shimin, you speak!"

"Hey, sister, why don't I want to pardon them, but my father's decree has been issued, if I don't carry it out, it will be a rebellion, although you and I are the children of my father, we can't disobey my father's will, what else can I do?"

Hearing this, Ling Shuang said resolutely: "There is a debtor who is wronged, the person who killed the Fourth Emperor Uncle is Lu Chongmao, why should innocent people be buried!" I don't agree, Brother Shimin, you give me a few more days, and I will rush back to Beijing to meet my father now, and beg him to keep people under the sword! ”

Seeing this, Liu Wenjing on the side hurriedly said: "The princess is slow, I am afraid that there is no room for turning around, now the King of Qin has made outstanding achievements, which has caused the emperor's worries and the prince's suspicion, the emperor has secretly promised the throne of King Qin, this time, the emperor came to avenge the killing of King Yong'an, and the second is to establish his authority and deter the rebellious generals, and the main thing is probably to test the King of Qin, now there is the prince's supervisor in the army, if the King of Qin hesitates and refuses to carry out the emperor's will, it will inevitably reach the ears of the emperor, and it will inevitably be suspicious of the King of Qin. Since ancient times, the hegemon has been achieved, sacrifice is inevitable, and the princess must not have the kindness of a woman! ”

"Phew!" Ling Shuang smacked him in the face, "Liu Wenjing, you bastard, you can fan the flames on the side for your meritorious title, say some high-sounding, and treat the lives of the people like mustard, why should I let my second brother bear the notoriety of this murderous maniac, and leave a stench for eternity, I want to ask you what your intentions are!" ”

Liu Wenjing was speechless by the reprimand, her face showed anger, her hand pressed the sword on her waist, Ling Shuang sneered, and glanced at him with disdain.

Although Liu Wenjing was angry, he still didn't dare to pull out his sword after all, snorted coldly, and retreated behind Li Shimin, Ling Shuang's jutsu swordsmanship in the entire Tang Army no one dared to provoke him, and the Women's Army was a master of assassination.

On the side, Li Shimin heard Ling Shuang's reprimand, although he scolded Liu Wenjing, but he also knew that Ling Shuang was the first to drink him, and when he heard the "stench through the ages", he couldn't help but be shocked, as if he had a comprehension, and said awe-inspiringly: "Sister Shuang, I will wait for you here for three days, and after three days, if you can't rush back with your father's holy decree, otherwise I can't do anything." ”

Ling Shuang bowed deeply to Li Shimin, "Brother Shimin, Ling Shuang thank you for your kindness on behalf of the people of Xia County!" I will definitely let my father take back his fate, no matter what, you must wait for me to come back!" Be sure to wait for me! ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the camp quickly, whistled, turned over and stepped on the blood quickly, and galloped away......

……

At the entrance of Xuanwu in the Imperial City of Chang'an, the rain poured down, and a lightning bolt pierced the dark sky, illuminating the entire Imperial City of Chang'an, and the deafening thunder sounded, like the roar of the Heavenly Father.

A delicate and graceful figure, kneeling at the door of the Xuanwu Gate, the heavy rain drenched her clothes and armor, the cold rain fell to the ground along her long black hair, she kept kowtowing in the direction of the imperial city, her forehead had already been broken, and the blood flowed down her delicate cheeks with the rain, but she still kept kowtowing to the ground......

Beside her, a divine horse as red as fire was a fiery horse, which was humming restlessly, its hooves trampling on the ground, splashing with water.

The guards at the gate of Xuanwu, standing under the eaves of the gate of the imperial city, looked at the commander of the women's army with great achievements, the third princess of the Tang Dynasty, and the unbearable color flashed in his eyes, but they received an order from the commander of the forbidden army, and no one was allowed to let her enter the city.

She had been kneeling at the gate of the imperial city for a day and a night, just to see Li Yuan. (To be continued......)
