Chapter 2
In Chang'an City, a group of fast horses rushed into the palace.Li Shimin is now very worried. Jieli's [-] army Chen Bing Weishui has faced such a formidable enemy before his throne is firmly established.

However, those soldiers who were still on the sidelines did not come to King Qin of Gyeonggi, which made him very disappointed.Seeing that the Great Tang Dynasty is about to overthrow.

The messenger rushed into the palace and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the Turkic supply troops were intercepted in Xiazhou by Long Liang and his son, the governor of Xiazhou. Now hundreds of thousands of them have retreated to the grassland."

These words were the best words Li Shimin heard in the past few days. He said in surprise, "Long Liang? Is that Li Jiancheng's best friend? Wasn't he executed?"

"No, when the execution was about to be executed, the Turks came. At the begging of Long Liang's son, Long Feiyu, the man in charge of the execution released them and allowed them to die in battle. Long Feiyu collected thousands of horses and two horses from the city. Thousands of oxen tied fire ropes to their tails and attacked the Turkic camp in the dark, so the Turks were defeated under the suspicion. They won a complete victory and captured countless cattle, sheep and horses."

Hearing this news, Li Shimin was suddenly pleasantly surprised and said: "Okay, it seems that our old suspicion formation on the tower these days can now be effective."

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, a soldier ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the Turkic people are willing to donate the gold and silver from Chang'an to conclude the Weishui treaty with them. Leave Chang'an from then on."

Li Shimin exhaled a turbid breath, swept away the depression he had been feeling for many days, and waved his big hand: "Let's go to Weishui."

After concluding the covenant, Jieli Khan's face was gloomy and terrifying. He knew that this time he was able to attack Chang'an City during the internal power transfer of the Tang Dynasty, but now he has no hope of attacking here again.

That nasty boy in Xiazhou actually ruined his plan, looking at the flying pennant above Chang'an City.With a neat formation, he knew it was time to retreat.

After taking one last look at Chang'an City, he reluctantly left Chang'an City with his army.

"The Turks have withdrawn their troops, the Turks have withdrawn their troops."

Someone shouted and shouted on the street, celebrating the joy of victory.But more are common people's eyes. Many people have experienced the notice of the Sui Dynasty. A humiliating retreat came, how could such a result be acceptable to these common people.

In the palace hall, Li Shimin looked at those civil and military officials and sighed: "Shame, this is the greatest shame since the founding of the Tang Dynasty."

Looking at the distraught Emperor Tang, all the courtiers remained silent.Looking at him in silence, Li Shimin sighed and said: "The civil and military skills of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as a 16-year-old boy. He dared to raise weapons against hundreds of thousands of Turks with only two thousand soldiers. What about you? What have you done?"

At this moment when Li Shimin was speaking, these people did not dare to intervene.It was only natural for him to do something out of the ordinary when he was furious.

The court was silent for a moment, and an eunuch suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the new chief minister of Xiazhou, Liu Min, went up to ask about Long Liang and his son."

"Take their father and son back to the capital."

"Yes"

In Xiazhou, Long Feiyu and his father were loaded into a prison van, ready to be sent to the capital.Seeing that the father and son were about to be taken away, all the people in Xiazhou City poured out to escort the two heroes away silently.

At the same time, the grand event here was also written by Changshi Liu Min as a memorial and reported to the emperor. The moment Long Feiyu and his son arrived in Chang'an, the capital, the capital was shaken. Turkic war.The 10,000+ soldiers and horses who defeated the Turks, of course, these people don't think about whether those people are old, weak, women and children.

From time to time, someone rushed out of the soldiers' encirclement, handed water and wine to the father and son, and said, "Hero, please drink a bowl of water."

On the city wall not far away, Li Shimin in casual clothes saw the situation here clearly.He sighed silently and said, "Let's go, Zhijie, Jingde, let's go see them in prison."

"Yes"

Because of the merits of the two, the guards in the prison also admired them.After all, heroes have always been respected. The jailer looked at the two of them and said, "You two generals, if you need anything, just talk. I don't have anything else. I can still manage a few drinks."

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "The jailer is too polite. My father and son are both dying. What else can I ask for? I just hope that I can have a full meal before I die."

The jailer snorted, "don't worry, you two. If the current emperor really kills you, he is not a good emperor. There are so many generals and soldiers in Chang'an City, no one dares to attack the Turks. Only two heroes dare to be the first in the world. This heroism alone is admirable, by the way, two generals, can you tell me what makes you so brave?"

Long Feiyu said with a smile: "My father and son have offended the current Holy Majesty, and they deserve to die. If they can die before the battle with a passion, then this life will not be in vain."

"well said."

A group of people filed in from outside the door, with a middle-aged man leading the way.Although he was dressed casually, his noble aura made it easy for people to see his true identity. He waved his hand at the jailer, and the jailer retreated knowingly.

The visitor looked at the two of them carefully, and said, "The two generals are very courageous, but why do you want to offend the current sage?"

Long Feiyu smiled noncommittally and said, "Offence? No, he offended us. Everything should be justified. Today, His Majesty kills brothers and sisters, steals the throne, and insults younger brothers and wives. How is this behavior different from Yang Guang's?" In the name of orthodoxy, wantonly hunting and killing dissidents, in an attempt to block the mouths of the world."

A fat middle-aged man beside the man hurriedly said, "Shut up, how dare you slander His Majesty today? Everyone knows that Li Jiancheng plotted against him, and His Majesty had no choice but to do it."

Long Feiyu smiled disdainfully and said: "Rebellion? Is this word used in the wrong place? Now the crown prince and King Zhao's wives have all been eliminated. Of course, it is up to you to judge whether it is right or wrong, but if you want to make people in the world Forget this period of history. It’s not enough to kill people. Yang Guang did the same thing back then, and the result was still a crushing defeat. If His Majesty wants to make the world forget about this, he must let them live a better life than they are now. It's wonderful now. Just like the current state, after a hundred years, His Majesty will get more infamy than Yang Guang."

Long Feiyu's words made the middle-aged man frown, which was exactly what he was worried about.If it is not handled properly, such a thing may happen, and now there are many people who scold him.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man carefully observed the father and son, specifically the child.It's like wanting to engrave him in my mind.It took a long time before he said: "If I give you death, do you have any last wishes before you die?"

"Have."

As Long Feiyu said, he took out an account book from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man outside the prison, saying, "I know your identity, and no one can give us death except you. I promised them that when the war is won, the imperial court will return double the amount to them. Now that the Turks are defeated, please keep your Majesty’s promise and fulfill this promise for me.”

"Okay, what else?"

"My father is old, and with a son like me, killing me is tantamount to killing his heir. I hope His Majesty will spare him because my father has fought for the Tang Dynasty and my father and son have made meager contributions." .If Your Majesty feels unwilling, you can cut off my head several times to pay for my father's sins."

Hearing Long Feiyu's words, Long Liang hurriedly knelt down to the people outside the prison and said, "Your Majesty, my son is still young, and besides, he has been living in a fool for the past 16 years, and he has no regard for what I do. I don’t know, I beg Your Majesty to let him go, the guilty minister is willing to bear all the crimes.”

Long Feiyu smiled and said: "Father, why are you so confused. What His Majesty wants is to cut the weeds and roots, and I am the root, and you will slowly die of old age after more than ten years. There is no threat to him. Only I am dead, so His Majesty can rest assured."

After Long Feiyu's voice fell, Cheng Zhijie and Jingde's eyes were red outside the prison, and they looked at Li Shimin expectantly.Li Shimin also inadvertently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said tentatively: "If I spare the two of you from dying, are you two willing to serve me loyally?"

Long Feiyu sighed and said: "Your Majesty's question is so strange, you have killed all the relatives of the prince and King Zhao, and now only you are the direct descendant of the Tang Dynasty, who else can be called the king besides you?" Is it the Tang monarch?"

Although Long Feiyu didn't respond positively, he was telling Li Shimin.Our allegiance or not is a certainty at this time, why do you care about it.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, I think your father and son have contributed a lot to the country, and now Long Feiyu is named Zhaowu Captain, Long Liang is Zhaowu Deputy Captain, responsible for cooperating with Zhaowu Captain, and another mansion is rewarded .”

The father and son looked at each other and hurriedly knelt down to thank each other.Seeing them kneeling, Li Shimin laughed and left the prison.This feeling of mastering life and death made him feel very comfortable.
