Chapter 078 Broken Mirror Circle 1
In February of the fourth year of Wude (June 1st), the Tang army was stationed in Qingcheng Palace. Before the camp was built, Wang Shichong opened the city to attack, and 20,000 soldiers and horses came out from the square gates to face the valley water array. I don't know if it is a coincidence that the number of Wang's troops attacked was the same as when he broke Li Mi that year, and it was also 20,000. The two armies fought a bloody battle in Luoyang City, and Wang Shichong and Li Shimin fought in person. Li Shimin selected more than a thousand elite cavalry, all dressed in Xuanjia, divided into left and right teams, led by Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yu Chi Jingde and Zhai Changsun. The royal army had a high fighting spirit in this battle and did not retreat, causing a lot of casualties to the Tang army.
When the war came, the Wang army fought bravely against the Tang army and did not retreat or surrender. Even Li Shimin, the commander of the Tang army, was almost killed and injured. At the same time, General Duan Zhixuan was captured again. Unfortunately, the royal army was still defeated by the Tang army in the end. From Chen time to noon, the royal army had to withdraw to Luoyang after killing 7,000 people. Li Shimin pursued and captured 8,000 people. Here, Li Shimin defeated Wang Shichong in Gushui and then surrounded Luoyang Palace.
The discussion of this battle in the city surprised me. I couldn't help looking at the west side of the faint clouds, and my thoughts drifted away. Mu Yan beside me poured a cup of hot tea for me and looked at the people entering and leaving the inn with interest. After wandering for a few days, I finally found a town. It snowed again, so I had to hide in the inn. Because of Yan complaining the day before yesterday, I ordered two small dishes to relieve her cravings for the first time, but I was always worried. Although it seemed that no one was chasing my whereabouts in the west, this inn was an extremely dangerous place. As long as the competent officials secretly sent a chase portrait to the inn, restaurants, shops and other places, I was very Easy to find.
In the wandering world, Muyan pulled the corner of my clothes and pointed to a high-bun woman in a fox skin robe and whispered, "Look how beautiful her robe is. I'm really envious."
I took a deep look and pulled Mu Yan to leave. Muyan looked at me strangely and didn't understand why she sat there and frowned, "Why are you leaving again before you haven't eaten some hot dishes!"
At this time, a figure sat down at the table. What? Do you want to go?" She poured a cup of hot tea for herself and poured it into her throat.
"Ye Ying, can you stop following me?" I don't like it. Ye Ying turned his eyes, approached my ear and whispered, "You can't stay in this place. I can take you out of Luoyang City."
I secretly looked at the woman with fox skin and high bun. This fox fur coat is very precious. It is often worn by people in the palace, and ordinary people are not allowed to collect it.
At this time, a man with a cloak came down from the inn, and the woman immediately smiled and leaned over. She was the wife of the officials in the palace. At this time, the two appeared here, and I had to be vigilant. Now the safest way is to leave. In desperation, I nodded to Ye Ying, got up and pulled Mu Yan out.
Muyan was obviously puzzled by my behavior and shouted unhappily, "Sister, why are you leaving like this!"
This sound attracted the attention of the people in the inn. The man in the cloak also looked at me and looked at me. He immediately remembered something and shouted, "Come on, arrest her!"
Several men rushed out from behind him and had to wave at us. I grabbed the frightened Muyan and flashed back. Ye Ying blocked the front and pulled out the sword from her waist to fight with several people. I saw that there was another horse standing at the gate of the inn besides me. I immediately untied the reins of the two horses and shouted to Ye Ying, "Get on the horse!"
At this time, I had stepped on the horse's back. When Muyan also climbed the horse, Ye Ying also jumped on another horse. The two shouted loudly and ran to the entrance of the street. No matter how strong the people chasing behind them are, they can't beat the speed of the horse, and soon we got rid of them. After leaving the town, I asked Ye Ying, "How to get out of Luoyang City?"
Ye Ying did not look back and looked straight ahead: "Secret road!"
It turns out that although Luoyang City is strictly prohibited from entering and leaving, there is a defect. Many people wanted to leave Luoyang City, so they secretly opened a road in the western corner and covered it with rocks. Although it is not far from the battlefield, it is useless for the Tang army, because to get here, it must pass through Luoshui or Gushui. If you want to sneak up, you will definitely be found by the royal army. If you attack, it will become an advantage for the geographical location of the royal army. Therefore, this secret road was ignored by the two armies.
Ye Ying rode with us. After a bump, Mu Yan and I finally saw the narrow road, and my heart immediately rose with joy. As long as you get out of Luoyang City, the world will be big. At that time, you can choose a place to settle down and live with your heart. You no longer have to think about sad things and see sad people. Although I know that Ye Ying took me out of Luoyang City for her purpose, I don't want her to do anything about me!
The opening is narrow and short, and you need to lower your body to ride a horse. I lay on the horse's back, and Mu Yan leaned against my back and looked at the rock at the top of the road quickly scratching, and there was a distant white light outside. Because of the snow, the vast Luoshui was covered with thin white ice, and the ice on the shore was covered with white snow, which was completely spotless. This snow stopped the action of the two armies. As long as there is a move, it will be found by the other side. It seems that both armies are secretly preparing for the next battle.
I straightened up and closed my eyes. The dazzling white light really made my eyes uncomfortable, but then it was suddenly comfortable. I opened my eyes slightly and slowly saw what was outside. In the outside world, how long has it been since I saw him again? Is he okay somewhere far away at this time? Are you seriously injured?
He ran thousands of meters forward and finally left the trapped Luoyang City. The horse's hoof stopped in a vast empty place and stood alone by a few rare dead branches. Ye Ying turned around and pointed to the front. The paleness was powerless, even if he wanted to wear it. I shook my head and said, "This time, I just used you to get out of Luoyang City. I won't agree to your request yet."
Ye Ying sneered, which was even more chilling than the cold snow. Suddenly, she turned around and kicked me off the horse. I was unprepared and fell hard on the snow. I got up but was unstable by the sunken snowflakes and fell again. Then you will die in this snow!" Ye Ying said and reached out to catch the frightened Mu Yan.
"What are you doing!" I shouted in panic and didn't stop her from quickly kicking the horse with only Muyan left on it. The two horses ran quickly and quickly jumped 100 meters away, leaving only Muyan's cry.
What should I do? Why did Ye Ying take Mu Yan away? Was it just because I didn't agree to her request that made her angry and even killed Mu Yan? She said that it was more pleasant for me to let me live than to kill her. She wanted me to regret and blame myself! I can't think much about it. In a hurry, I put my finger in my mouth and blew out a distant and loud sound. The horse's hearing is very **, and it can hear sounds that no one can hear. It is not far from the barracks. If Qingyun can recognize my voice, it will definitely come quickly, and a horse should not shock many people!
I stared at the direction Ye Ying left, anxiously. After a while, the sound of horses' hoofs came from the west, which was getting stronger and stronger. I was suddenly surprised, and Qingyun really came. However, a horse does not shock many people, but it can shock him, Li Shimin.
Behind the cloud, there is another red horse, which is the imperial wind! The horse's figure hit my sight, and the blood seemed to flow straight to my head, which made me lose any consciousness in an instant. I just looked at him, looking at his approaching figure, a clearer and clearer face, so deeply persistent, as if it were a light that has traveled through thousands of years.
There was wind on my face and my waist was tight. I was held on horseback by him in one hand and hugged me tightly with one hand. He didn't wear armor, as if he was in a hurry to wear it, and only hung a big cloak behind him. I pressed against his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and suddenly felt relieved. I took a deep breath and smelled the faint musk on his body. How long have I missed this warm embrace?
I don't know how far I have been away from him. At such a moment, I really hope it will last forever. Gradually, the horse's hoof slowed down and stopped. Li Shimin took me down from the horse and looked at me deeply with a little joy. I pushed him away and turned around, and I couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Why, why is he not guilty or sad for me! Is it really all my own affection?
When he was pushed away by my palm, he immediately turned to me and held my shoulder. How many times did the voice appear in my dream and said hello: Are you all right?
Good? What is good? Is it okay, or is it okay to send me to Zheng Guo?
I didn't look into his eyes with a cold face, and I was afraid that the resentment in my heart would burst at that moment. Li Shimin opened his hand and stroked my cheek, forcing me to look at him. I closed my eyes and patted his hand and shouted, "Don't touch me!"
The palm of his hand was frozen in mid-air, and he looked at me in disbelief.
"I didn't expect you to come back." Li Shimin said that this made me feel pain compared to the cold wind on my face. It turns out that you don't want me to appear again. You want me to be trapped in that strange palace and kill me and the enemy with your own hands when you come!
So, I have nothing to say.
I turned around to step on the horse. He pulled me into his arms and ran away. I turned around and said angrily, "Since you don't want to see me again, why don't you let me go clean!"
Li Shimin looked at me as if he was thinking about something, and finally said helplessly, "I shouldn't be angry with you. I'm not afraid that you are smarter than me and even compete with me. I'm afraid that those people are afraid of you and force me to leave you. They often remind me that beauty is a disaster. They are afraid that if you are by my side, they will be able to carry the boat! But I'm not afraid. You are the person I have to grasp no matter what!"
I really don't understand what I'm talking about or pretending to be stupid. I said angrily and frankly, "Give me? Oh, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is a perfect strategy, from battle strategy to psychology. Are you so unsure of defeating Wang Shichong? I have to go into the palace of Zheng to flirt with the old emperor's mind!"
Li Shimin stared at me and became angry. I was pointless and said coldly with a wry smile, "The war failed, but I found that I had fled the palace. My life is not what you want!"
