Since there is something lacking, Zhou Shaoyu will also watch it honestly to see how Li Xiuning fights this defensive battle.

On the same day, the Sui army arrived in Zhouzhi, camped outside the city, and stormed for three days. Then abandon the city and go to Shiping.

The morale of the Sui army rose greatly, leaving a small part of the soldiers and horses to guard Zhou Zhi, and the rest followed, and attacked Shiping again, and on another three days, Shiping City was broken, and Li Xiuning and the remaining soldiers and horses retreated to martial arts.

At this time, the Sui army already thought that the thief army was nothing more than that, leading 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Wugong, Li Xiuning continued to defend the city with the remnants of the army to resist, and then three days, Ma Sanbaoshuai led by Qiu Shili several rebels rushed to Li Xiuning's elite out of the city to attack, a big victory, most of the Sui army casualties, only escaped hundreds.

Subsequently, non-stop once again bagged Shiping and Zhouzhi. Li Xiuning's fame has risen sharply and he is known as the Women's Army.

The result is very good, and Li Xiuning is also very capable, but Zhou Shaoyu is very resentful, what about the uprightness that he said? Your style of play is not a strategy? The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, fishing step by step, and then waiting for the new rebels to fight again.

Moreover, although the elite is retained, there are too many casualties among the general troops.

"So what? How can the army that can only fight with the wind be considered qualified, this time three times to defend the city, and all that is left is usable soldiers. War is war, and a woman's kindness will only cost more lives, and if one is not good, even she will get into it. In this regard, Li Xiuning said.

Zhou Shaoyu finally saw what a powerful heart Li Xiuning's petite body was.

Just thought so, how could Li Xiuning sigh faintly and said: "However, after all, it is because of me that so many people have given their lives." ”

Zhou Shaoyu was shocked, looking at Li Xiuning's calm performance these days, she almost forgot that Li Xiuning is a woman after all, and even the first time she led the troops, and she has won many times, which may have shown her talent for war, but her heart is always soft.

Moreover, she is the coach, and she can't collapse if anyone collapses, no matter how much pressure she has, she has to bear it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoyu's eyes softened a little, maybe a soft and weak woman is easier to pity, but such a Li Xiuning, in Zhou Shaoyu's opinion, is more worthy of pampering.

After thinking about it, he said, "I'll read you a poem." ”

Li Xiuning didn't speak, but his eyes had already looked over.

After clearing his throat, Zhou Shaoyu read: "The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road." Looking at the western capital, he hesitated, sad that the Qin and Han dynasties were in the office, and the palace was made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. ”

"Is that so...... Li Xiuning's eyes flickered, even if his mood was not high, his thinking was still quick.

Zhou Shaoyu once said that he was the attached horse of the Tang Dynasty. And this poem, if it had existed before her, would have been famous a long time ago, but now it is extremely unfamiliar, so that is to say, this poem was born in the Tang Dynasty.

So the question is, how did such a tragic poem appear in the Tang Dynasty? Is Datang bad and unpopular? Or is Zhou Shaoyu not just from Datang at all?

Li Xiuning squinted, but didn't say anything.

If Zhou Shaoyu knew that he had read a poem, he would have exposed a flaw, and he would definitely regret it, but he didn't know it now, but continued to comfort: "Time is like this, it can't be changed, the people may be bitter, but there are also good and bad, there is a saying, it is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a troubled world." In any case, the more peaceful it is, the more you can eat a few bites of food, and the people's expectations are not high, so it is good to live well. ”

"Maybe a lot of people will die right now, but it is also for the sake of new life, the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the peace in the world, the prosperity of the people, and a good ending, no wind and rain, how to see the rainbow, and relax, it will be fine."

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiuning's eyes flashed even more, if Datang is really that good, then that poem will really appear?

Thinking about how to get more flaws out, I saw someone report it.

"Report, Chang'an has taken Qu Tutong, the general of the town guard, as his general, and has led 15,000 troops, and he has rushed to this place."

When this person went down, Li Xiuning turned his head and said, "I remember you said that Qu Tutong is one of the twenty-four heroes of the Tang Lingyan Pavilion?" ”

"Yes, rank twelve." Zhou Shaoyu nodded.

After Li Xiuning listened, the corners of his mouth raised, and the sudden smiling face made Zhou Shaoyu stunned, followed by a strong uneasy premonition. Really!

"Let's go, let's meet him." Li Xiuning got up and said.

Nani !! Will it bend to the spur? How could it be! ”

"Of course, it's going straight to the Sui army."

"Hiss......"

Zhou Shaoyu was stupid, this was really scared, what was the situation, didn't it mean that Qu Tutong had a few defeats under Li Xiuning, why did he go to the army to meet? Isn't this a door-to-door arrest?

"Hey, you're not trying to persuade you to surrender!" Zhou Shaoyu was stimulated, Qu Tutong is now a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, he is a Sui minister, and his family members are all in Chang'an, no matter how much people turn against it.

Li Xiuning replied to the question and said, "After Qu Tutong descended to the Tang Dynasty, what kind of official position?" ”

"The military department is still in the book, and the general is the prince of the country...... No, do you really want to persuade you to surrender? Zhou Shaoyu replied subconsciously, then shook his head violently and continued to ask.

"How do you know if you don't try? Don't worry, Uncle Qu is serious on the surface, but he is actually very good at talking, and if I am not the boss, he may put me under house arrest first, but I am the boss, he will not arrest me, in the face of an army led by a weak woman, or an old friend, came to visit, but arrested me, if so, even if Uncle Qu won a big victory in this battle, his reputation would be stinky. ”

Li Xiuning said confidently.

"Besides, under my instructions, the reputation of the Women's Army is now very widespread, although Uncle Qu is not afraid of gossip, but it is not good to listen to after all, how can he act like this, it is right to defeat him in a dignified manner."

Seeing that Li Xiuning had made up his mind, Zhou Shaoyu had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, but there is one thing that must be listened to me, if there is an accident, I can only take you away in advance, and you can't help but agree when the time comes." ”

Li Xiuning glanced at Zhou Shaoyu with a little meaning, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

I have to say that Li Xiuning's courage is also boundless, plus Zhou Shaoyu, with a total of more than 20 horsemen, went straight to Qu Tutong's Sui army.

Of course, no matter how bold he was, he didn't lean on when people were marching, after all, although there were not many people, they were fully armed, and what if they couldn't help but say what to do when the rebels and bandits were directly slaughtered.

So I only went when people were camping, which would be concentrated in the camp, and if one was not good, he could escape on horseback.

"The deceased?" Qu Tutong listened to the report of his subordinates, and when he looked at the letter, although there was only one Tang character written in it, Qu Tutong roughly knew who it was.

But I thought it was Li Shentong, but I didn't think it was Li Xiuning.

And when Qu Tutong agreed to meet and was led by the soldiers, Li Xiuning said to Zhou Shaoyu: "If you are willing to meet, it means that there is a great opportunity, doesn't it?" ”

Zhou Shaoyu really didn't know what to say, because in history, Qu Tutong was Li Yuan who defended Tongguan and surrendered after the defeat, so Zhou Shaoyu really didn't believe that Li Xiuning could persuade Qu Tutong to surrender.
