Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

A heavy snowfall fell on the banks of the Lushui River.

The original gray-yellow hills were all dyed with snow. The battlefield a few days ago was filled with an aura of slaughter, and the heavy snow covered the corpses that had fallen on the battlefield with a layer of snow powder.

The wind howled, blowing snowflakes like goose feathers, and hitting the soldiers' faces was particularly painful.

When Li Chongjiu stepped out of the camp on the riverside, the heavy snow had stopped, and the Lushui River on the side was already initially frozen.

The Tang army towered the camp and confronted the Youzhou army on the bank of the Lushui River.

Li Chongjiu looked at Li Sanniang's banner and couldn't help but think of the tragic battle a few days ago.

After the initial disadvantage of the Youzhou army, it defeated Wang Xingmin, Yin Kaishan's army, and killed the enemy's general. But at this time, Li Sanniang led the cavalry of the 3,000 Niangzi Army to the battlefield and braved the heavy snow to launch a surprise attack on the Youzhou army.

In this bad weather, the field battle on both sides was extremely risky, but Li Sanniang's risky move was successful.

Li Chongjiu saw that in the midst of the chaos, Li Zhiwan was dressed in a snow-colored fox fur, riding a white horse, and personally led the soldiers to attack in the snow.

After a day of fighting in Youzhou, they were already tired, and when they saw Li Zhiwan arrive, they were defeated at the moment, and Tanzong, Xue Wanche, and Wang Mahan's men and horses were all repulsed.

Under Li Sanniang's assault, he not only saved Li Yuanji and Guo Ziwu's men, but also saved the defeat of the Tang army.

Li Chongjiu personally commanded the army to hold on, and at this time, Ji Chuan also braved the heavy snow and commanded the army to cross the river on the riverside to keep the traffic continuous. After the reinforcements continued to arrive, Li Chongjiu barely stabilized his position under the offensive of the Tang army, and finally at night the snow was too great to fight again, so the two sides gave up.

In this battle, the Youzhou army has seen the strength of the women's army, and it is really not a fluke to know that the Li family can capture Guanzhong. The victory in this battle was taken away by Li Sanniang, and his soldiers and horses were also killed and injured under the assault of the women's army.

After returning to the camp, Li Chongjiu counted the men and horses, although it suffered a small setback, but there was no major damage, but this battle can be described as extremely tragic, more than 10,000 Youzhou soldiers who crossed the river, casualties, frostbite soldiers reached more than 3,700 soldiers. The Tang army was also heavily damaged, with an estimated casualty of more than 5,000 casualties.

In terms of the battle situation, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose.

It's just that after the heavy snow eased a little, Li Sanniang's 20,000 troops all arrived, gathered Yin Kaishan, and after Wang Xingmin's defeated army, he and Guo Ziwu and Li Yuanji combined Li Chongjiu's 20,000 horses across the river to confront the Lushui River.

Ji Chuan led nearly 10,000 horses and horses to garrison the camp on the north bank of Lushui.

Now after the heavy snowfall, the weather is freezing and the temperature is plummeting.

"In this snowy day, the Tang army neither fought nor retreated, and confronted our army on the riverbank, what does this mean?" Xue Wanshu asked.

Wen Yanbo said: "The meaning of the Tang army is very clear, that is, it is to consume with our army, wait for Li Shimin's main force, and defeat Lu Chongmao and Yao Junsu. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, and said, "Wen Changshi is right. ”

After a battle a few days ago, generals such as Wang Mahan, Xue Wanche, and Xue Wanjun had a correct understanding of the strength of the Tang army.

As the words fell, Etoda stepped into the tent and said, "Khan, on the small slope to the east of our army, I found that the enemy general seemed to be spying on the position of our army. ”

"How many enemy generals are there?"

"Less than a few dozen horsemen," said Eto, "let the last general capture the Khan alive." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

Eto smiled: "The khan only needs to sit in the big camp, and the general will be captured at the end of this matter." ”

Li Chongjiu was silent for a while, and said, "Okay, but don't hurt the enemy general." ”

Eto was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he looked like he didn't know why, but he still said, "Khan, I know. ”

Then Eto strode out of the camp.

Li Chongjiu was in the tent to deal with military affairs, and soon after, Eto strode back to the camp and said: "Really, the thief smeared oil on the soles of his feet, walked very fast, and injured more than a dozen of my clansmen. ”

Li Chongjiu smiled when he heard this, and said, "Let's go." ”

Eto said: "But I still grabbed a few tongues, and one of them is actually a female general, haha." ”

When Li Chongjiu heard this, he immediately said, "Bring this person to see me!" ”

Hearing this, Eto asked, "Why did the Khan want to interrogate him personally?" ”

"Needless to say, go quickly."

"Okay." Eto, clenching his fists, stepped back at the moment.

Soon one of them was escorted into the big tent, and the other party's hands were tied, but his hair was long and waist-high, and he was really a woman.

After Li Chongjiu saw the faces of the other side clearly, he immediately said to the left and right: "You guys stand down for the time being." ”

In the big tent, only Li Chongjiu and the other party remained.

Li Chongjiu stood up and said with a wry smile: "How can it be you?" ”

"Little thief, why not me?"

Hearing this familiar title, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but smile in surprise, and said: "Jian Xue, no matter how we say it, we are also old people, we meet again after a long absence, so we don't have to be so ruthless." ”

Of course, this woman is Li Zhiwan's personal maid Jian Xue.

"What is the reunion after a long absence, bah, your rule for a long time to reunite is to throw people off their horses and tie them up again?"

When Li Chongjiu heard this, he drew his sword and cut his rope with a knife that wiped Jian Xue's clothes.

Jian Xue was taken aback, but seeing that his clothes were not torn, his heart was really good, and the martial arts of this little thief had grown a lot.

Li Chongjiu said: "You were accidentally caught here by my subordinates, well, is your young lady also with you?" ”

"Humph! You think of our young lady. Jian Xue's face was full of anger, she rushed forward and took a few steps closer, and said with a shrew scolding the street, "You little thief, do you know how ...... my young lady has been harmed in the past few years You're still qualified to mention her in front of me. ”

mentioned this, Li Chongjiu kept silent, for the previous choice, if he chose it today, he still would not change it, and he would not regret it, but he still had a debt to Li Zhiwan himself.

Li Chongjiu sat down and took a sip of the buttermilk in front of him, and said, "You go back, don't be caught by me next time, and tell your young lady for me, please cherish it." ”

Jian Xue heard this and said loudly: "Let's go, I don't like to stay in your ghost place." ”

Jian Xue walked to the door of the big tent, saw that Li Chongjiu was still sitting on the desk and did not move, stomped his feet and turned around, and asked, "Little thief, I don't have anything else to say to my young lady except this sentence." ”

Li Chongjiu laughed and said, "What do you want me to say." ”

"You...... You" Jian Xue pointed at Li Chongjiu's nose, but his eyes were red.

Seeing Jian Xue's appearance, Li Chongjiu couldn't help but say that there is really a master, and there must be a servant.

Li Chongjiu took a deep breath, immediately took a letter from the case, and sealed the letter after writing.

Li Chongjiu took off the three-foot-long star-picking bow from the wall again, and said: "I am a martial artist, and I have no long things, only this bow has been with me for many years, so I will give it to your young lady as a souvenir." ”

After hearing this, Jian Xue took the letter and said, "Okay, I will transfer it to Miss on your behalf, little thief, if you are lucky, I will not let you go." ”

After speaking, Jian Xue strode out of the door and left the camp gate.

Li Chongjiu looked at Jian Xue's back and was speechless for a long time.

Baibi, the camp of the Tang Army.

The door of the Chinese army was wide open, and Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wuji and other generals of the Tang Army knelt down in front of a royal car.

Tang lord Li Yuan slowly descended from the imperial car, and thousands of Tang soldiers shouted long live.

"Son-in-law, see father."

Li Yuan smiled, helped Li Shimin up, and said with a smile: "Wu'er has worked hard, this time I broke Lu Chongmao, Yao Junsu, and recovered Hedong, which is really a great achievement." ”

Li Shimin said: "Back to my father, Jinyang has not been restored, and I dare not say that I have made great achievements. ”

Li Yuan laughed, patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and said, "It really deserves to be the thousand-mile horse of my Li family." ”

At that moment, Li Yuan entered the big tent of the Chinese army with Li Shimin. Li Yuan fell to the throne, and the rest of the generals sat down in turn.

Li Yuan asked Li Shimin: "What is the movement of the thieves in Youzhou?" ”

Li Shimin clasped his fists and replied: "Five days ago, Li Chongjiu led an army of 30,000 to cross Lushui, and the third sister and General Yin made a plan, and they were halfway across and ambushed......

After listening to Li Shimin's narration, Li Yuan patted his knees and said: "Good strategy! Li Chongjiu's house was defeated. ”

Li Shimin said ashamedly: "Li Chongjiu's army is good at fighting, and Yin Kaishan, the head of the Taiyuan Road march, was killed. ”

"Yin Shilang actually died, it's a pity, posthumously presented his right servant of the Daxingtai in Eastern Shaanxi Province, and comforted his family." Li Yuan pinched his beard, and when he heard that Yin Kaishan was killed, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and then injured the eldest grandson Shunde, who was under Li Chongjiu's command before, and this son had already killed his two generals.

"No." Li Shimin said.

Li Yuan said: "Although you can't defeat Li Chongjiu, but its main forces are all in Luzhou, what do you plan to do next?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Back to my father, my son thought that when the main force of this thief and Luzhou were in place, let the third sister trap it in Luzhou, so that it could not return to Jinyang, and our army could first recover Jinyang, and the state, Shizhou and other places, so that the thieves in Youzhou had to retreat from Luzhou." ”

"In addition, the Youzhou army is heavily armed, and the son thinks that his father can send a man who can speak well to Dou Jiande in Hebei, Dou Jiande has been plotting Youzhou for a long time, and he can describe the benefits and disadvantages, and ask him to send troops to Youzhou, so that the thieves in Youzhou will suffer from the enemy."

"Good!" Li Yuan said happily, "Since I have handed over the soldiers and horses of the fifteen states to you, you will let it go." As for Dou Jiande, I will send someone there. Li Chongjiu, this thief, actually dared to attack Bingzhou when I ascended the throne, I swear not to let this person go, I want him not only Jinyang can't get it, Youzhou can't protect itself. Set an example for him, let the world know, and the consequences of angering me Li Tang"

Li Shimin knew that Li Yuan had always been a character who would repay his eyes, and Li Chongjiu attacked Jinyang this time, causing Li Tang to almost have the intention of giving up the land east of the river.

Li Shimin immediately clenched his fists and said: "Please rest assured that my father will leave this matter to his son." (To be continued.) )
