Chapter Seven hundred and fortieth six: the battle in the middle of the night
Liu Shili made such a promise, and Li Shimin nodded slightly. Although he knew that Liu Shili could not be called loyal to him, Li Shimin knew very well that Liu Shili was the kind of person who put interests first. As long as he was of value to Liu Shili, Then Liu Shili would never betray him. This kind of mutual utilization relationship is sometimes more worth using than loyalty.
Taking a deep breath, Li Shimin glanced east again, turned around, and walked toward the camp. Starting tomorrow, he will launch an attack on Hongnong. Facing Li Jing again, Li Shimin must be careful. He did not dare to take it lightly, so he needed a good rest to replenish his mental and physical strength.
Liu Shili glanced at Li Shimin and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried about energy problems. In fact, if your Majesty is willing to contact us Xiaoyaomen's exercises and keep them so that your Majesty will be full of energy every day, even in that aspect, you will be able to do everything possible." How about being undefeated? Your Majesty is willing to give it a try."
"Hmph," Li Shimin snorted coldly in response to Liu Shili's "good intentions." He knew very well that if he really followed what Liu Shili said and contacted the Xiaoyao Sect's skills, he would definitely be betrayed by the Xiaoyao Sect in the end. Complete control, Li Shimin just wanted to use each other with Xiaoyao Sect, but he never thought about being used by Xiaoyao Sect and becoming Xiaoyao Sect's puppet, so Li Shimin hummed in a deep voice: "I don't need you to worry about all this, Sect Master. grown ups,"
If Yi Fan, Gong Jie and other senior leaders of Tianyin Sect were present and heard Li Shimin's words at this time, they would definitely be shocked by what Li Shimin said, because they never expected that the master of Xiaoyao Sect would condescend to surrender. Gui, serves as a general of neither high nor low under Li Shimin. You must know that the sect masters of Xiaoyao Sect in the past are all the top masters in Xiaoyao Sect. With such status, how can you be willing to be inferior to others? What's more, the purpose of Xiaoyaomen is to stir up disputes in the world, and then the fisherman will benefit and become the ruler of the world. How can he become someone else's general and make wedding clothes for others?
However, after being called out by Li Shimin, Liu Shili smiled slightly, with an indifferent look on his face, turned his head slightly, and watched Li Shimin leave from the corner of his eye. After Li Shimin entered the camp, Liu Shili turned his attention to Guo Zi next to him. He's camp, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, and said with a smile: "It won't be long before you take the initiative to beg me. I firmly believe this, my Majesty,"
Li Shimin naturally couldn't hear what Liu Shili said after he left. After entering the camp, Li Shimin went directly back to his tent. After taking off the sword from his waist and the helmet from his head, Li Shimin just Sleeping with his armor like this, after so many years, Li Shimin never leaves his body with his armor on as long as he is on an expedition. This has become Li Shimin's habit. Not only that, Li Shimin also holds his sword in his arms. Then he would close his eyes and sleep peacefully.
He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, but suddenly, a burst of noise woke up Li Shimin. In fact, Li Shimin's sleep had always been very light. As long as there was any disturbance, Li Shimin would wake up from his sleep immediately. However, this habit Since that person left Li Shimin, Li Shimin has had it.
After being woken up, Li Shimin's first reaction was to jump up from the bed and pull out his sword with a clang. However, when he looked around, there was no one around him, so Li Shimin was relieved. He took a breath, but Li Shimin did not put the sword back into its sheath, because he had obviously heard the noise and it was not his own auditory hallucination.
Li Shimin immediately stood up, picked up the helmet from the side and put it on, and rushed out of the camp with his sword. At this moment, outside the camp, several sergeants were still loyally guarding the entrance of the camp. When they saw Li Shimin rushing towards When they came out, they immediately clasped their fists and saluted Li Shimin. Li Shimin glanced around and saw that there was no confusion, but the noise was much clearer. Li Shimin immediately turned to one of the sergeants and shouted: "What happened?" What's going on, why is it so noisy?"
One of the sergeants immediately clasped his fists at Li Shimin and shouted: "Reporting to your majesty, it's the noise coming from Guo Zihe's camp. General Dugu has already gone to investigate."
The general Dugu mentioned by the sergeant was naturally referring to Li Shimin's general Dugu Yanyun. The Dugu family was also involved in the chaos in Chang'an. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Dugu Yanyun took the initiative to enlist and follow Li Shimin in the attack. Chang'an, if Li Shimin remembers correctly, Dugu Yanyun happens to be in charge of patrolling the camp today, so there is no problem if Dugu Yanyun goes to investigate.
Hearing what the sergeant said, Li Shimin nodded slightly. He still trusted Dugu Yanyun's ability. Then Li Shimin slowly put down the sword in his hand, turned around, and prepared to continue sleeping and rest. .
"Kill, kill, kill," at this moment, a shout suddenly came from a distance. Judging from the direction, it should be coming from Guo Zihe's camp, and this shout reached Li Shimin's ears, Li Shimin was immediately shocked. Li Shimin had been practicing on the battlefield since he was a child. In many cases, intuition can often remind him better than various evidences. From this shout, Li Shimin could clearly feel the slightest trace of it. If the intention to kill is just an inspiring practice before the war, it seems that it does not need to go to this extent.
Immediately, Li Shimin frowned, turned around, and shouted to the sergeants on his left and right in a deep voice: "Quick, pass on my military order, so that all the soldiers in the army are armed and ready to fight at any time, go quickly,"
Although I didn't understand why Li Shimin made such an arrangement, those sergeants were all soldiers loyal to Li Shimin, and they quickly retreated with fists clasped in their hands to carry out Li Shimin's orders.
The Tang Army has always been the foundation of the Li family's struggle for the world, so the training of the Tang Army is what Li Shimin pays the most attention to. Because of this, with Li Shimin's order, in less than three sticks of incense, everyone in the camp All the Tang troops gathered in an open space in the camp, and Li Shimin stood in front of the Tang army's formation, glanced at the Tang troops who were lined up neatly, and shouted in a deep voice: "All soldiers and horses, please pay attention. All generals have prepared their troops and are ready to fight at any time,"
Hearing Li Shimin's words, not only the generals, but also the soldiers were all stunned. Fight, what are you fighting? Did anyone come to attack the camp in the middle of the night? Why didn't they hear any movement? What made the soldiers even more shocked However, after Li Shimin shouted these words, there was no reaction from the people around him. Even Li Shimin stood alone at the front of the military formation without saying a word. He didn't know where the enemy Li Shimin said he wanted to meet was.
In fact, Li Shimin felt very embarrassed at this moment, because just after he said that, the noise coming from the direction of Guo Zi and the camp stopped immediately, and there was no sound at all. Now Li Shimin didn't You know what to say, why do you just say it to the soldiers directly? I heard you wrong, so everyone went back to sleep in their cages. By the way, they got up to pee. Li Shimin admitted that he was not an unreliable person like Wan He. , he would never be able to say such words.
After being silent for nearly half an hour, Li Shimin finally plucked up the courage and shouted in a deep voice to the drowsy soldiers below: "I just wanted to train your resilience. Okay, you all go back and prepare..." …”
"Kill..." Just when Li Shimin was about to let the soldiers disperse, a cry of killing suddenly came from outside the camp. Then, a bright fire suddenly lit up outside the camp, as if there were thousands of troops. Thousands of horses had already surrounded the camp. Seeing this scene, Li Shimin was shocked. He immediately turned his head, raised his sword, and shouted to the left and right: "The whole army is listening to the order and prepare to fight."
Hearing Li Shimin's shouts, the soldiers who had been frightened awake for a long time immediately calmed down their previous sleepiness. Each one of them lit up their weapons and prepared to fight the sudden enemy. However, something unexpected happened. , leaving many soldiers a little stunned and panicked.
Li Shimin was worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. When he saw this situation, without saying a word, he directly handed over the command of the army to his grassroots generals. Only they could complete the command tasks better, while Li Shimin was working as a private soldier. Under the protection of the generals, they began to rush towards the north where the noise and shouts of killing were the loudest. Soon, Li Shimin led a large group of people to the edge of the camp. At this moment, the Tang army on the edge of the camp had already begun to fight with the A mysterious enemy appeared suddenly and engaged in battle.
At this moment, the lights outside the camp were brightly lit, and those mysterious enemies had been completely exposed to Li Shimin's eyes. Li Shimin took a closer look, and found that these mysterious enemies who suddenly launched an attack in the middle of the night turned out to be Li Shimin's allies. Guo Zihe and his soldiers saw this. At this scene, Li Shimin's face immediately darkened. He suddenly recalled the information that Liu Shili had told him before. Faced with the situation where he and Luo Yi were attacking from both sides, Wan He still had enough energy to send Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan and his son to send troops to the south. Going down to deal with Du Fuwei was not because Wan He was crazy enough, but because Wan He had already been mentally prepared for this battle, and the variable that gave Wan He enough confidence was Guo Zihe. Wan He had already prepared He joined forces with Guo Zihe, and with Guo Zihe's help, he unexpectedly attacked him at night. Coupled with Li Jing's troops in Hongnong, the two parties joined forces to deal with him. This battle was destined to win from the beginning. burden,
