There was a fierce battle all night, and the shouts of killing never stopped.
On this night, the Tang army launched dozens of rounds of charges against Tushan. In order to seize the stronghold, hundreds of soldiers paid their lives!
But even so, Goguryeo's defense is already rock solid!
I rushed in several times and was blocked again. The tug-of-war between the two sides became a veritable meat grinder.
The city lord of Anshi City indeed had two skills. He could actually stop the 170,000 soldiers and horses led by Li Shimin himself with one city!
A touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky.
Li Shimin looked at the mountains in the southeast, his eyes already filled with bloodshot eyes.
He didn't listen to the advice and insisted on supervising the battle!
So, I stayed up all night again and stood on the observation deck like a sculpture!
A gust of cool morning breeze hit him, making him tremble all over and his figure was a little shaky!
"Your Majesty! Please add some clothes!"
The guard next to him was holding a fox fur coat and wanted to put it on Li Shimin, but he was roughly pushed away by him.
"Get away!"
Li Shimin's voice was hoarse and he growled,
"Call Li Daozong!"
Before he could finish his words, several tired-looking generals had already boarded the observation tower.
Plop!
Plop!
Several generals knelt down together!
"Your Majesty, the general is incompetent and failed to recapture the Tushan stronghold. Please punish him!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Yu Chi Gong, Zhi Huan Si Li and other fierce generals all looked ashamed at this moment.
They are all invincible masters on the battlefield, but they are defeated in front of this small mountain... It is embarrassing to tell them!
Even if there are various factors affecting it, it is still embarrassing!
Among them, the one with the ugliest expression was Li Daozong.
"His Majesty!"
Li Daozong knelt on the ground and said with great shame,
"Fu Yiai is a subordinate of the last general. He made such a big mistake and caused Tushan to fall. He should be executed!"
"The last general should be severely punished! Your Majesty, please punish me!"
boom!
After saying that, he hit his head on the ground.
When Li Shimin heard this, he just looked at him indifferently, with a sad expression.
"What's the point of punishing you again now?"
He whispered,
"If you want to blame me, I can only blame me for not knowing the right person and using the wrong person."
"Why……"
A lament, filled with endless weariness and discouragement.
The flame that was originally burning in my heart was now extinguished.
"His Majesty!"
Li Daozong cried out in pain,
"Your Majesty said this, I am ashamed of myself!"
"I am willing to die!"
Before he finished speaking, he really stood up and turned over to jump off the observation tower!
What made him more uncomfortable than the punishment was His Majesty's disappointment!
"Your Majesty! Stop!"
"My lord, calm down! Even though you have made mistakes, your sins will not lead to death!"
"Yes! Just execute that bastard guard!"
"..."
Yuchi Gong and others quickly stopped Li Daozong.
It would really be a shame if this happened!
Li Daozong burst into tears, unable to wish for death under the interception of everyone. In the end, he could only look at Li Shimin with tears in his eyes.
"Stop making trouble!"
"hiss--"
Li Shimin gave an order, and suddenly his face turned pale!
He instinctively covered his heart with his hands and fell straight backwards!
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
Yuchi Gong and others were all trying to stop Li Daozong at the moment, and they couldn't get in front of Li Shimin at all. They could only watch the emperor fall!
boom!
Li Shimin's head hit the bluestone, his face twisted again, and his right hand tightly grasped his heart.
"Your Majesty! How are you?"
"Go and call the military doctor! Call the military doctor!"
The generals who were used to big scenes and looked down upon life and death were now in panic and panic!
They never expected that such an unexpected situation would happen!
Yuchi Gong was the first to rush to Li Shimin's side, gently held up his head, and held Li Shimin's body in his arms.
"Your Majesty, nothing can happen to you!"
Yuchi Gong's eyes turned red and he growled,
"Hitting a small Goguryeo would not be like this!"
"Go and rest! You haven't slept for four days and four nights. Your dragon body is the foundation of my Tang Dynasty!"
"I, Yuchi Gong, can't I kneel down and beg you?"
While growling, he patted Li Shimin's back for relief.
"I...it's okay."
Li Shimin's hand covering his heart relaxed slightly.
His face relaxed a little, but his energy and energy plummeted to a low point, and he even felt like he was running out of energy...
Staying up late continuously, coupled with the anxiety of not being able to conquer the city, and the depression of the mountains of earth that he had worked so hard to build were robbed.
These three were intertwined together, like torture, tormenting Li Shimin severely!
Even an iron man cannot withstand it!
What's more, the current Li Shimin is not a twenty-nine-year-old young man, but a forty-eight-year-old middle-aged and old man whose vitality and blood have been exhausted!
"You, continue to organize the attack."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and whispered,
"You must...help me take back Tushan!"
"please!"
Yuchi Gong looked at Li Shimin's appearance at this moment and was already in tears.
He feels a little regretful now... Why didn't he object with all his strength in the first place? Letting His Majesty come out to drive and conquer in person is definitely a decision that he will regret for the rest of his life!
At this moment, Yuchi Gong had no other choice but to nod his head with tears in his eyes:
"well!"
"Your Majesty, don't worry! Even if I risk my life, I, Yuchi Gong, will take back Tushan and capture Anshi City!"
Li Shimin forced a smile.
His complexion became a bit paler.
His body has reached its limit, but his willpower is still holding on, waiting for a result!
"I am waiting for your good news..."
Li Shimin reached out and patted Yu Chigong's arm, and encouraged him in a low voice,
"I'm waiting for you..."
Yuchi Gong nodded helplessly.
All the generals clenched their fists.
This time, I have to fight hard!
For the glory of the Tang Army and for His Majesty's dragon body, we have to fight!
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
For a moment, only the sound of killing was heard coming from the city of Anshi, shaking the sky and the earth, shaking the mountains and rivers!
Generals: "?!"
All eyes turned to Anshi City, but they saw that beacon smoke was actually burning in Anshi City at this moment!
That's the beacon smoke of the Tang Army!
"This is the beacon smoke of our army! The city of Anshi is in chaos!"
Zhi lost his mind and exclaimed,
"Where did the divine soldiers break through Anshi City? Tushan didn't break through the defense line!"
Except for the earth mountains, the city of Anshi is impregnable and cannot be penetrated at all!
But Tushan fought all day and all night without defeating him... What on earth is going on? !
"Quick, send scouts to find out the situation!"
Yuchi Gong ordered hurriedly.
At this time, Li Ji galloped up and stepped onto the observation deck.
"Your Majesty, good news, great news!"
Li Ji's eyebrows were dancing with joy and he said extremely excitedly,
"Anshi City is in chaos! According to the report from the scouts, it was Pyongyang Road's navy that invaded Anshi City from the rear. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses have been killed and the people in Anshi City are rolling in!"
"Grand Master, he must have conquered Pyongyang and captured the capital of Goguryeo!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the generals were shocked!
"real?!"
"Mr. Xu is too fierce! He is worthy of being the man who destroyed the Turks!"
"I knew he would win, but I didn't expect him to be so fast! Mr. Xu... is a true god! How on earth did he do it?!"
Several people couldn't help but marveled.
When Li Shimin heard the news, his eyes lit up with excitement!
"Listen!"
"It still has to be you, it still has to be you..."
"Ho ho, ho ho ho... As expected, you will never let me down, ho ho ho..."
The brows that had been furrowed for four days and nights were finally relieved.
Li Shimin smiled.
Smile very satisfied, smile very proudly, smile very pleased.
"His Majesty!"
Li Ji hurriedly cupped his hands and said,
"We must not miss this opportunity. Our army should now launch a fierce attack across the entire front, attack Duke Xu from both inside and outside, and completely capture Anshi City!"
"As soon as Anshi City is defeated, Goguryeo will be conquered and destroyed!"
Li Shimin slowly closed his eyes.
"attack!"
After spitting out these two words, he tilted his neck and fainted!
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!!!"
The generals were shocked and hurriedly came up to investigate the situation.
At this moment, the military doctor finally arrived, pulled away everyone's bodies, and leaned over to check Li Shimin's condition.
"How about it?"
"What's wrong with Your Majesty? He will never..."
"Shut up!"
The imperial doctor who accompanied the army felt his pulse and looked solemn.
"Your Majesty, you are overworked and have damaged your heart."
He said in a deep voice,
"Actually, His Majesty's body could no longer hold on for a long time, but his will was too strong to support his body and mind to stay awake."
"This is overdrawing one's energy and energy. It can even be said that it is overdrawing one's life span!"
"Maybe you could still be like this when you were young, and you could recover in a few days, but His Majesty is old after all. This extreme overdraft... I don't know if you can recover."
"I will take His Majesty back first to see if it can be stabilized. If not, I can only send His Majesty back to Chang'an quickly and ask Master Sun for medical treatment. You all get out of the way."
Having said that, the imperial doctor of the army ordered his servants to help Li Shimin onto the stretcher and quickly rushed to the Chinese army's tent!
All the generals fell into silence.
Li Ji suddenly stood up and said:
"Your Majesty is most concerned about conquering Anshi City."
"I will go to command the battle first and try to bring him the good news today!"
Yuchi Gong and other generals all nodded repeatedly.
"I go!"
"I'll go too, capture Anshi City as quickly as possible, and bring the good news to His Majesty!"
They are all warriors, and there is no use staying here. They might as well go into battle to kill the enemy and bring good news to the emperor!
…
Chang'an City thousands of miles away.
In Tai Chi Palace.
"Child slave, do you have any objection to my uncle's decision regarding these memorials?"
Changsun Wuji pointed at the memorial in front of him and asked casually.
Li Zhi nodded obediently.
"Young slave doesn't understand yet, so you just have to listen to your uncle."
He responded,
"If uncle thinks it's okay, then it's okay."
Changsun Wuji grinned and stroked his beard somewhat complacently.
This is the power and position he wants, this is the most intoxicating taste for him!
"If you don't understand, you can learn slowly. My uncle will teach you everything he knows."
Changsun Wuji stroked Li Zhi's head and said affectionately,
"As long as you are willing to learn."
"Yeah." Li Zhi nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, uncle is going to the province. You can rest for a while, but don't run around. Your father has strict orders not to allow you to wander around."
Changsun Wuji warned and left in a hurry.
Li Zhi looked at his back, the cute look on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a bit of coldness.
"The uncle on the left and the child slave on the right."
He whispered,
"Even my father's most respected master calls me His Royal Highness. As a relative, do you dare to be so arrogant?"
"If the queen mother knew, it would be enough for you to drink a pot."
As he murmured in his mouth, Li Zhi relaxed slightly.
In order to maintain the persona of the prince, he was too tired!
I don’t know, how many more years will it take before I can truly realize my ambition?
He stood up and moved his arms, and was about to leave the palace, when he saw a slave running up staggeringly, almost hitting Li Zhi!
"What are you doing!"
Li Zhi said with some annoyance,
"Where's your slave? I'm not afraid of punishing you for being reckless?!"
His character is kind, but kindness is by no means without a bottom line!
Changsun Wuji pinched his nose and recognized it, but this servant who didn't know where he came from even attacked him!
Intolerable!
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The slave hugged Li Zhi's arm excitedly and said,
"The Queen is awake, she is awake!"
Li Zhi;'! ! ! '
He was stunned at first, then said happily:
"What? What did you say?!"
"Queen Mother, has she really woken up? Are you lying to me?"
This is a huge happy event!
If the father on the front line knew about it, would he go crazy with joy? !
"It's true! I don't dare to talk nonsense!"
The slave said,
"This morning, the Queen's hand suddenly moved. I saw with my own eyes that her hand covered her heart, and she kept shouting His Majesty's name!"
"Go and have a look!"
Li Zhi almost jumped up when he heard this!
"Okay, okay! Great! God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Zhi was extremely excited and said,
"Let's go! Go now!"
"quick!"
He ignored his slave and ran straight away!
…
In the Queen's palace.
Although Changsun Wugou was still on the couch, he was no longer lying flat on his back. Instead, he sat up and leaned on the soft cushions.
She covered her heart, but her eyebrows were furrowed.
No matter how the servants and servants asked her, she never said a word from the beginning to the end.
It seems that he is still in the same numb state.
"Mother!"
"Mother!"
"Haha, hahaha! You are really awake! That little girl didn't lie to me, you are really awake!"
"Rewards! Those present today, as well as several other people who serve on the team, will all be rewarded!"
Li Zhi hurried into the dormitory. When he saw his mother sitting on the couch, he was overjoyed. He shouted and rewarded her generously!
Being happy alone is not as good as having everyone happy. He wants everyone to be as happy as he is!
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"
All the slaves and maids were delighted and hurriedly knelt down and thanked him for his kindness.
One of the chamberlains came close to Li Zhi and whispered:
"Your Highness, the Queen's condition seems not to be normal. No matter how the servants ask her, she doesn't say a word. She seems to be asleep..."
"Why don't you give some guidance first, and I will ask Master Sun to come?"
Li Zhi was stunned and turned to look at Changsun Wugou.
And Changsun Wugou's eyes happened to fall on him.
The first voice after waking up finally came:
"Zhinu...why are you wearing Chengqian's clothes?"
