The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

There is a moon in Chang'an, and thousands of houses are lit with lights.

Li Shimin, who had already fallen asleep, had just closed his eyes when he was woken up by the house eunuch.

"What's the matter?"

Li Shimin frowned and seemed to be in a very bad mood.

Anyone who is suddenly woken up while sleeping will not be in a good mood.

The internal affairs eunuch felt uneasy and said cautiously:"Your Majesty, there is an urgent battle report from the Yellow River front line."

"Battle report on the Yellow River front?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was immediately startled. He no longer felt sleepy at all. He immediately put on his clothes and followed the internal eunuch to the Tai Chi Hall.

As soon as he arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin saw a group of generals standing in the hall with anxious expressions.

The general's eyes lit up when he saw Li Shimin, and he bowed down and said,"I will join you, Your Majesty!""

"Excuse me, what happened on the Yellow River front? Could it be that Li Changqing led his army to cross the river?"

Li Shimin was worried about the front line of the Yellow River, so he asked hurriedly.

The general showed a look of sorrow in his eyes and said solemnly:"Your Majesty, it is indeed Li Changqing's army that forced the crossing of the Yellow River, but... the defenders of the Yellow River failed to resist it.……"

"This is impossible!"

Li Shimin said in shock and anger, his tone also raised, full of disbelief:"The Yellow River defense line is based on natural dangers. Not only have all the docks and ferries been destroyed, but also the Great Sea Wall has been built, and 200,000 elite troops are stationed there. So, how did Li Changqing forcefully cross the Yellow River?!"

The partial general looked a little ugly. Not to mention Li Shimin, even he felt that it was too false. The defenders had an absolute advantage and could actually allow Li Changqing's army to cross the Yellow River. It seemed impossible no matter how much he thought about it.

But the fact is in this way

"Your Majesty, there has been a rebellion among the generals in the Jiangdong military camp. With the internal and external coordination, King Wu's army crossed the river at night.

The commander-in-chief, General Wang Bodang, moved the army to the shade of the forest to escape the summer heat. At the same time, he also wanted to lure the enemy troops on the other side to move out so that they could ambush and kill them.

As a result, he did not expect that a mole would appear, so King Wu's army crossed the river without knowing it at all. In the end, the company camp was burned for 300 miles, and our troops suffered numerous casualties. General Li Ji is leading his army to resist desperately!"

The general told him the truth.

Li Shimin's face was ashen, and he laughed angrily:"The inner ghost, the inner ghost! Gao Shilian, what a Gao Shilian!"

"Wang Bodang is also stupid! Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty learned from his mistakes, he actually tried to seduce Li Changqing!

I only let him stick to the Yellow River. When did I let him lure the enemy deeper? Such great success has led to the loss of the Yellow River, so he must be killed!"

Li Shimin's roar resounded throughout the hall, which showed how angry he was in his heart!

If Wang Bodang were in front of him now, Li Shimin would definitely draw his sword and kill him directly!

After breathing for a moment, he looked at the general again, After suppressing the overwhelming anger in his heart, he said:"Since General Li Ji sent you to deliver the message, does that mean that he has already participated in the battle on the Yellow River front?"

The general nodded and replied:"That's right. When the general heard that the Yellow River front was in danger, he rushed to the Yellow River as soon as possible. However, the enemy army had already crossed the river, so the general could only lead his troops to deal with it. Li

Shimin's expression softened slightly, but then he thought of something and said urgently:"You quickly pass on my order to Li Ji and order him to immediately abandon the Yellow River front and retreat to Hulao Pass if the situation becomes irreversible. The Yellow River front can be lost, Hulao Pass." Nothing happens to Guan Wan!"

Now that Li Changqing's army has crossed the river, with Li Changqing's unparalleled military skills and the brave fighting power of his army, how can Li Ji be defeated even if he has the reputation of a military god?

Tigers descending from the mountain, soldiers crossing the river, this This is the best explanation of Li Changqing's army!

Although it is heartbreaking to lose the Yellow River Front, since it has been lost, it is better to cut off the strong men's wrists, reduce meaningless consumption, and retreat to Hulao Pass. In this way, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.

If Lian Hu The prison gates are all lost, and the hinterland in the gate will be fully exposed to Li Changqing's iron cavalry.

By then, everything will be over! All struggles and resistance are useless!

"The general will obey!"

The general replied solemnly, cupping his hands, and then left in a hurry to convey Li Shimin's imperial order.

After he left, Li Shimin paced back and forth in the hall, still thinking carefully about the words of the general just now, analyzing The reason for this defeat.

After calming down and analyzing, he found that Wang Bodang's strategy was actually of a certain level. At the worst, he would not have been beaten so badly by Li Changqing. All the reasons were due to the insider who cooperated with others!

"I have sent the order, but I didn't expect it was still a step too late! hateful! hateful!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, and then he thought of the culprit who drove this traitor to rebel - Gao Shilian!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin's eyes turned cold, and he coldly ordered the guards around him:"Bring the traitor Gao Shilian with you. come over! I want to see him!"

After learning that Gao Shilian helped Li Changqing a few days ago, he dismissed him from his post and put him under house arrest until he could be punished in the future. The reason why he did not kill him was partly because he felt guilty about Changsun Wuji, and partly because he felt guilty about Changsun Wuji. On the one hand, because Gao Shilian was Li Yuan's most trusted and respected prime minister, and he was known as an honest and wise man, if he were to be executed because of this matter, it would be difficult to silence everyone in the world, and even hundreds of officials would be chilled.

He told Gao Shilian I just came here to question him, why did you betray me!

The guards worked very quickly, and they brought Gao Shilian to the main hall in a short time.

After not seeing him for a few days, Gao Shilian looked a little haggard. Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin In a trance, I seemed to see Changsun Wuji at that time again, and the anger in my heart became smaller without realizing it.

"His Majesty."

Even though he has been dismissed from his post and is a convicted criminal, Gao Shilian's demeanor and etiquette are still meticulous, with the air of a celebrity.

Seeing his unafraid appearance, Li Shimin's anger that had just subsided rose again, coldly. He said:"You are a sinner, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

"The minister is the prime minister of the dynasty and ranks first among the civil servants. It can be seen that the emperor does not worship him. Gao

Shilian replied calmly.

Li Shimin laughed angrily and said,"You still dare to call yourself a minister?" Do you know that because of you, the Yellow River front has now been lost!

Furthermore, I have dismissed you from your post! You are no longer the prime minister! Gao

Shilian smiled happily and said:"I didn't expect that I, an old man, would actually help King Wu in the end. It's really gratifying. As for getting rid of my position... haha.""

His indifferent attitude made Li Shimin extremely angry.

"I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the direct bloodline of my father, and Li Changqing is a traitor! Why did you risk your life to help him? Li

Shimin roared angrily, and said with an angry smile:"I wanted to spare your life for the sake of the auxiliary machine, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn!" Then I will satisfy you!"

"Someone comes and drags the criminal Gao Shilian out of the Meridian Gate and beheads him in public!"

After hearing Li Shimin's words, Gao Shilian not only did not feel any regret or fear, but seemed to be relieved and said with a smile:"Your Majesty, listen to my words, this world must belong to King Wu!"

After saying this, he didn't need to be detained by the guards, and went out of the palace with a big smile.

He died generously.

Li Shimin's face was livid with anger, and the Tai Chi Palace was smashed into a mess.
