Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Giving Back to Gold and Silver

Li Yuan was shocked when he received Luo Shixin's and Shi Danai's letters one after another in the Hall of Martial Virtue that day.Asked the ministers: "Luo Shixin asked for a fight on the table. If you are brave, you will be brave, but you will lose your mind. Please discuss it with your loved ones. Is it time to attack Wang Shichong now?" Xiao Yu came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I can't do it. The king of Qin has not returned from the northern expedition, and the capital is stretched. It is really difficult to fight continuously. I think Wang Shichong's ambition is not too big, and there is Tongguan natural danger to stop it. If you don't Soldiers for a while, wait until you recover your vitality."

After Xiao Yu finished speaking, Pei Ji also agreed.Feng Deyi was also a minister of the two dynasties, unlike Xiao Yu, who was upright and bright, he was quick-witted and good at guessing the emperor's psychology.Over there Xiao Yu was eloquent, and he bowed his head here in deep thought, thinking that since Li Yuan thought that Luo Shixin was careless, he asked all the officials at court, which showed that he was very active.This time Qin Wang Dingbei, only Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were the only opponents who threatened Chang'an, and they were not far from Chang'an. It was Li Yuan's heart disease, and he definitely wanted to solve it as soon as possible.Seeing Xiao Yu retreating after playing, he took a step forward holding his wat and said: "Your Majesty, what Xiao Ling said is also my heart, but I still think that most of the world has been settled now, only Wang and Dou are left. It is an indisputable fact that the country will be able to recuperate if it is wiped out in one go. Of course, the bowstring should not be stretched too tight, let it be stretched and relaxed." The gist of these words is the main battle, which makes people feel that they are all-rounded, not hurting Xiao Yu's face, but also Come up with your own ideas and test Li Yuan's true thoughts.

Qu Tutong said: "The minister intends to lead the battle! As the Minister of the Ministry of War, I know the family background. If the army of Jingzhao can be gathered to collect 100,000, the emperor will order the King of Qin to go south to Xin'an, and there will be a mighty army of 300,000. .The army is under heavy pressure on Luoyang, and it should be able to break it." Li Yuan sat on the dragon chair, and when he heard that the ministers had different opinions, he did not speak. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the left column in thought.The crown prince Li Jian was on the right. After hearing Qu Tutong's words, he turned to Li Yuan and said, "Father, I also feel that I should attack Luoyang. These days, my son reads more memorials from Xin'an, although Luo Shixin is a little anxious. , but it can be seen that he is dedicated to serving the country. Now that the second younger brother has worked hard in the northern expedition, let him rest for a few days, and my son is willing to raise troops to attack Luoyang."

Li Yuan opened his eyes, and asked Li Yuanji, "Silang, this is what the prince wants, what do you think?" Li Yuanji hurried out of the class and said: "Father, my son is willing to follow the prince to the East." Li Shimin defeated Liu Wuzhou this time, which made Li Yuanji who lives in Chang'an quite uncomfortable.Over the years, it was obvious that Li Yuan relied heavily on Li Shimin in the military. On weekdays, Li Yuan's words and deeds were deeply proud of having such a capable son.Especially in the recent period, Li Yuan praised Li Shimin many times in the court, and the officials also deeply appreciated it, and the streets and alleys also praised King Qin's heroism.As a prince, Li Jiancheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Li Yuanji hated it deeply. The direct reason was that Bingzhou was lost by himself, but this unfriendly second brother took it back. The contrast was too stark.That day he lobbied Li Jiancheng: "Brother, Erlang is invincible now. He won two times in a row, and others praised him to the sky. When he came back this time, he was even more arrogant. Brother, do you see? It's his Qin Wangfu." I also feel that I am superior to others. If it continues to develop, I am afraid that he will not even look down on you." Li Jiancheng said very calmly: "What's the matter? , you have some prejudice against Erlang, don't think wrongly about him all day long." Li Yuanji said: "I think wrongly? Just wait and see, by the time you know his intentions, it may be too late. Do you know? His subordinates, Fang and Du, don’t need gold leaf whenever they go to a place, and they only collect talents’ records. Not to mention the fierce generals under him, more than half of the ministers in the court are on good terms with him. You say, as a vassal king , What is he trying to do with all these tricks? Big brother, if you have to go out to fight, you can't let him take it. He doesn't have superpowers, don't we know how to fight?" Li Jiancheng was shocked, but he didn't go deep Thinking about it, he laughed and said: "Fourth brother, it's not that serious. How about it, if there is a war, I beg my father to let my brothers go for a while." These words thus attracted Li Jiancheng's initiative in the court today. Please.

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, and decided: "Yanhong, you come to draw up an edict - issue two edicts, appoint Erlang as Marshal of the Eastern Expedition, let him not return to Chang'an and go straight to Xin'an, Shiro, Qu Aiqing, you will bring another 100,000 soldiers and horses Go to meet him and Luo Shixin, Xiao Lang, Feng Aiqing, and you are also military counselors with the army. The battle of Luoyang determined the national situation of our country, and everyone must do their best. Also, grant Yin Kaishan the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and let him return with Princess Pingyang Let’s go to Changan. Yanhong, what I said was a bit messy, so I will draft the order according to this meaning. Prince, you still help me manage the affairs in Beijing, and the burden here is not light."

Li Yuan did not agree to Li Jiancheng's request, which made Li Jiancheng quite disappointed. Dou Jiande occupied Liyang, and Li Shanghu launched an attack, but was quickly calmed down by him.Li Shi panicked and fled to Chang'an by any means, and many of his subordinates persuaded his father Xu Gai to be killed. Dou Jiande was still kind and righteous, and said: "Shiyuan was a Tang official. He was captured by me and did not forget the dynasty. He was indeed a loyal minister! What did his father do? Yes?" So Xu Gai, Li Shentong, and Wei Zheng were banned together. Dou Jiande had a very good reputation under his rule. Recently, he successively conquered Liaocheng and Liyang, which can be described as smooth sailing.At that time, the prefectures and counties in Henan were under the administration of Tang and Zheng respectively, and the remote areas were still in a situation of no care.Dou Jiande followed the suggestion of Ling Jing, his adviser, and wanted to cross the river and expand his territory southward.However, at this time news came from Mingzhou, the capital city: Li Yi from Youzhou led cavalry to the south and had broken through Hengshui.

Li Yi's original name was Luo Yi, and he was General Huben in the reign of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.During the war, he set up an army in Zhuojun, claiming to have 100,000 soldiers, and he called himself the governor of Youzhou.Yu Wenhuaji and Dou Jiande had recruited him one after another. Luo Yi didn't want to be with them, and scolded: "Yu Wenhuaji is a thief who killed the emperor, and Dou Jiande is a farmer. Let me surrender them. It's a dream." The base and the city are solid and difficult to break through, and Yu Wenhuaji and Dou Jiande have no way to do it for a while.Just at this time, Li Yuan heard the news, repaired a letter and sent someone to Youzhou.The wording in the book is modest and sincere, if Luo Yi is willing to return to the Tang Dynasty, he will be allowed to be the king of Yan, and his army will not be dispatched by the central government.After Luo Yi received the book, he thought about the past and the future, and felt that Li Yuan's power was growing day by day, and that according to Chang'an, the orthodox rudiments were gradually taking shape.After Li Yuan received the letter, he was overjoyed, and the envoy was rewarded with great rewards. He named Luo Yi Duke of Yan County and gave him the surname Li, so Luo Yi was named Li Yi.At that time Dou Jiande was attacking Liyang, Li Yuan ordered Li Yixing's troops to harass him, thinking that Li Shizhi was helping, Li Yi sent 50,000 troops to the south and captured Hengshui within a few days.Dou Jiande hastily led the army northward, leading 100,000 troops to Hengshui to fight Li Yi.The two started a tug-of-war there, attacking each other and each winning or losing, showing a stalemate.Dou Jiande was trapped here, and he didn't have the mind to cross the South River for a while.

On this day, Li Yuan sent a letter to Dou Jiande, saying that he was willing to stop the war and make peace, and that Li Yi could return to the land he had occupied.After reading it, Dou Jiande picked up Li Yuan's letter to signal to everyone, saying: "Li Yuan's letter is willing to stop the war and make peace, and he can return the land that Li Yi took. I agree to him, what do you think?" General Wang Fubao disapproved, saying: "Li Yi has always been strong, and he looked down upon our court. Now the two armies are facing each other, and Youzhou is narrow. , Li Yi can breathe again, and it will eventually become a confidant's trouble. The minister intends to wipe it out in one go, and then he can go south with all his strength."

Ling Jing said: "Li Yuan has come to seek peace now, and he has a strategy of keeping a low profile. He is now using troops against Liu Wuzhou and Xiao Xian, and he is often at odds with Luoyang Wang Shichong - he wants to stabilize us first. Your Majesty, Li Yuan's conditions for peace are generous, and the minister will Promise him first, and see how the general trend of the world is going. Li Yi is brave, and he has a lot of food and a strong city. As an enemy of Li Yuan, if they come out of Fenjin to attack, they will put us in a very disadvantageous position. Please think again, Your Majesty."

Ling Jing's words touched Dou Jiande's heart, and he really agreed to Li Yuan's suggestion, and sent a reply letter to Chang'an.In order to show his sincerity, Dou Jiande released Li Shentong, Wei Zheng and Li Shi's father Xu Gai, and sent a special gift to Chang'an.Dou Jiande was caught by Li Yuan's strategy. When dealing with Xue Rengao, Tang took the initiative to repair with Li Gui in order to divide Qin's power.Now, in order to concentrate on dealing with Wang Shichong, Li Yuan must first stabilize Dou Jiande. Li Shimin left Taiyuan after receiving the order, and led the generals and brigade to march south.When they arrived in Jiezhou on this day, Li Shimin ordered Yuchi Jingde and Xun Xiang to lead 8,000 troops from the old army to accompany them on the southern expedition.The army meandered south and entered the Quemo Valley not long after. There were lush trees in the valley, birds chirping and insects chirping, and there was no wind in the sky.Li Shimin led the crowd to walk in the valley. When he remembered the tense and difficult scene, it seemed like a lifetime ago.They pointed and pointed, all showing joy.Yuchi Jingde's 8,000 people were walking in the queue, and when he heard Tang Jun laughing and talking about the war, and he was the villain at that time, it was difficult to distinguish the feeling in his heart.

Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde were walking together in bridles at that time. Qin Shubao recalled the scene of struggling to get out of the valley eight times a day, with mixed feelings, and said: "Jingde, at that time, King Qin, we were sleepy and hungry. If you arranged ten thousand bows in the valley Crossbowman, we will never get out of the valley. Why do you, Song Jingang, only send a small group of troops to decorate the front?" Yuchi Jingde said: "Brother Xunxiang and I were defeated by King Qin in Lishi Valley, Song Jingang became furious and no longer valued us, he wanted to fight against King Qin in person. King Qin's generals were too fast, not to mention Song Jingang, even I I didn't expect you to attack so quickly. According to common sense, your arrival should be two days later." Cheng Yaojin came over from behind and said: "Heizi, back then you didn't listen to King Qin's words in Lishi Valley, wouldn't you still be here today? You really don't cry when you don't see the coffin." After hearing this, Yuchi Jingde felt calm, He sneered back and said: "The green-faced thief, you have also surrendered and surrendered, and it is not your turn to talk about it." Cheng Yaojin said: "After all, my old Cheng has preconceived ideas, Heizi, you should listen to me more. Alright. Otherwise, my boss will slap you away." Yuchi Jingde laughed and said, "You still want to bully me? And ask me if the double whip in my hand agrees!" Li Shimin heard the three laughing and chatting in front of them, and couldn't help interjecting: "Brother Wang, this is a topic, when you have free time, you might as well have a competition to distinguish the superior and inferior, it's better to talk here. " Yuchi Jingde said: "In a competition, brother Shubao is honest and modest, like an older brother, so he doesn't need to be beaten. I, Yuchi Gong, bowed down. This blue-faced thief will not have good luck. First, his mouth should be swollen. Save me talking nonsense all day." Cheng Yaojin immediately said: "Heizi, don't be a bully. Brother Shubao, maybe he doesn't take you seriously at all, and he doesn't bother to fight with you, even my old Cheng is worse than you. Well." Qin Shubao smiled and said: "Yao Jin, your level of instigation is too low, people can understand your intentions just by hearing it." Everyone laughed. Compared with Yuchi Jingde who blended into this group so quickly, Xunxiang seemed out of date.Li Shimin was very fond of Yuchi Jingde, and immediately appointed him as the commander of the Youyi Prefecture. He did not specify the position of looking for a minister, but only lightly asked him to assist Yuchi Jingde in managing the eight thousand troops.This made Xun Xiang very disappointed, and gradually became resentful. Two days later, the army slowly passed Jinzhou and arrived at Baibi. Li Yuan's imperial decree had also arrived at Baibi before, and Yin Kaishan, Li Wanniang, Chai Shao and others had already stationed here.A few days ago, Yin Kaishan ordered people to prepare food and grass, tidy up the house, and get ready to welcome Li Shimin.This day the army entered the city and everything was ready, Yin Kaishan asked Ma Sanbao to be responsible for arranging the troops to settle in. Li Wanniang and Chai Shao greeted him out of the city, and brought Li Shimin into the room to talk.On the way back, Li Wanniang said with a smile, "Erlang, you have made a big name for yourself by rushing to the north in this battle. Before you arrived, "The Music of the King of Qin Breaking the Battle" has already been sung here." Li Shimin's tone was flat, but his expression couldn't hide his pride: "That's a boring work of idlers in the army, sister, can this be taken seriously?" Chai Shao interjected: "Why can't it be taken seriously? Looking at the generals throughout the history, how many people can win this honor? Liu Bangzhi's "Great Wind Song" and Xiang Yu's "Gaixia Song" are both hypocritical and declining; At that time, people lamented his military prowess but did not praise his martial arts. Erlang, I have listened to this song three times in a row." When they entered the room, Li Wanniang removed the tufted flower soap silk armor, and put on a short jacket with small sleeves, and a long tight-fitting skirt.Her body was already bulky, and Li Shimin was surprised to find that her abdomen had swelled, and only then did she know that she was pregnant.When Li Wanniang first married Chai Shao, she gave birth to a daughter. When the war broke out, she entrusted her to someone to foster her. She didn't find her until she entered Chang'an, and she never had another child. Li Shimin turned his head and said to Chai Shao with a silly smile: "Brother Sichang, congratulations. Unexpectedly, my sister would still sneak in during this time of war." Li Wanniang smiled "puchi" and said, "Erlang, I'll tear your glib mouth apart!" Then she sighed softly, "Oh, who would have thought that you would have a body? It was Yin Kaishan who told the emperor with his mouth back then. He specially asked me to turn around and take care of him in peace. Now that the peace is in chaos, let me go back to Beijing to rest, don’t you worry about killing me?” In Yin Kaishan’s memorial to Li Yuan, he mentioned that Li Wanniang was pregnant, which caused Li Wanniang to scold him for talking too much. Li Shimin said: "What's wrong with that? When you have a body, you should rest in peace. Today is not what it used to be. Now that most of the world has been settled, only Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande are left. Erlang can do it for you. There is a division of labor between men and women. If you have something to do outside, you can let Brother Sichang do it." "Erlang, you show your fox's tail within three sentences. What do you mean there is a division of labor between men and women? Do you think all women in the world are like your eldest grandson Jiamin?" Li Shimin begged for mercy in a hurry, and said repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare, I want to say that Brother Sichang Risi dreamed of having a son. You fight every day, and you prevent Brother Sichang from taking a concubine. This will not delay him. ?" Li Wanniang raised her hand to hit you, and said, "Erlang, I've never seen you like this—you're busy taking concubines for your brother-in-law, see if I'm not the boss and beat you." Although she wanted to hit her, her eyes were full of smiles. Not to mention that their siblings are playing here, but that Ma Sanbao is in charge of setting up the army and horses, and he directs the teams to station in designated locations.As soon as he turned his face after finishing his work, he saw Xun Xiangqi walking over and shouting: "Is your name Ma Sanbao? Let me ask you, they all have a station, why the eight thousand soldiers and horses I brought are so big Don’t you have a piece of land?” Baibi is small, but when the army left Taiyuan, the number of people passed to Baibi did not include the 8,000 people who joined Jiezhou.Xun Xiang led the troops into the city, saw that everyone had settled down, waited for a long time and no one paid attention to him, and stood there for a long time, he was furious for a while, found Ma Sanbao and yelled. After Ma Sanbao figured out the ins and outs of the matter, he checked the houses in the city and there were already people there. He remembered that there was a small village in the west of the city, and the people in the village had dispersed, so he asked the prime minister to lead people to settle there.When Xun Xiang arrived at the place, he looked up and saw that many houses in the village had collapsed, and the houses were densely packed with cobwebs, dusty and wet, and his anger was even worse.He led ten riders back to Baibi and found Ma Sanbao, and said at the beginning: "We have descended to King Qin, and we are from the Tang Dynasty, so we must not be raised by stepmothers. You live comfortably in the city. Leave us to dry in the wild!" When Xun Xiang led the people to the village to station, Ma Sanbao approached Yin Kaishan and reported the matter to him.Yin Kaishan knew the origin of the search, nodded and said: "Let's arrange it like this. Since they surrendered us, they still left 8,000 people as their own soldiers. Do you want to stay behind? We can't respect them as our ancestors." After receiving Yin Kaishan's words, Sanbao had confidence in his heart.Seeing that Xunxiang came to seek trouble again, he waved his hand and pointed to the city, and said helplessly: "General Xunxiang, look at this cypress wall is so narrow, and now there are more than ten people lying on a kang inside, there is really no turning around." room. Let’s do this, you’ll feel wronged there all night, and tomorrow, I’ll try to squeeze each other and try to make room for you. You see, hundreds of thousands of people have come here, from morning to now my double I haven't stopped on my feet, let me rest for a while." Neither soft nor hard pushed Xun Xiang back. Xun Xiang didn't say anything else, he gave Ma Sanbao a hard look, then turned to look for Yuchi Jingde.Yuchi Jingde lived with Qin Shubao and others, and when he saw Xiangxiang, he greeted him: "Brother Xunxiang, everyone has settled down? Come and live with us, a place has been reserved for you here." Pulling aside, he recounted what happened just now, and finally said: "Jingde, people don't pay attention to us at all. Why don't we go to King Qin and talk about it together, and let them bully us, no way! " Yuchi Jingde calmed the matter down: "Is it worth it to go to the King of Qin for such a trivial matter? Brother Xunxiang, let's let everyone clean up and stay first. In the past, when we marched, we mostly slept in the open, so there is no need to worry about it." "Jingde. It's not that I'm picky. You didn't go there to see it. It's really not a place where people live. They treat us as stepmothers. When they came out of Jiezhou, they talked sarcasticly all the way. You talked with Qin Shubao and the others well." Enthusiasm, no experience. If you want me to say, we might as well pull it out and rely on no one, it’s better to be ignored here.” Yuchi Jingde didn't care about the words of looking for a minister, and said: "Since you have surrendered to Tang, don't think about it any more. I don't think the King of Qin treats us with two minds. It's getting late now, and it's the right thing to let everyone stay here quickly." thing. Let’s go, you lead me to have a look.” Xunxiang stopped Yuchi Jingde, and said lightly: "You don't need to go over there, Jingde, I will make arrangements in the past, and I will not come here." After Xunxiang finished speaking, he walked slowly towards the horse, rode He got on his horse and glanced at Yuchi Jingde again, it was a complicated look, then he swung his whip, and a group of people galloped westward. That night, Yin Kaishan distributed the wine and meat that had been prepared to the crowd, and the soldiers all over the city were beaming with joy.After dinner, everyone was tired after a busy day, and now they were full of wine and food. Many people fell asleep as soon as their bodies touched the edge of the kang.Before entering the watch, except for the patrolling soldiers, there were hardly any people in the city, and the city was very quiet. The moment Xun Xiang left Yuchi Jingde, he had already made up his mind to lead everyone out of the Tang camp tonight and set up his own family.When he looked at Yuchi Jingde, his mood was very complicated. After all, the two had been together for a long time, and the two rescued each other in the battle. It was a friendship formed in blood and fire.However, considering Yuchi Jingde's disposition at this time, he would definitely not leave the Tang camp, so he had to do the search alone.After returning to the camp, when Xun Xiang asked his cronies to distribute the wine and meat, he secretly arranged the defection to the Tang camp.There are still 3000 people in the battalion under the command of Yuchi Jingde, if Yuchi Jingde hadn't come in person, they would never have listened to orders to find their relatives when encountering such a big event.Xun Xiang understood the key point, so he ordered the three thousand people to be stationed at the southernmost end of the village, separated from his team.After midnight, Xun Xiang led 5,000 troops to quietly pull out of the camp, and rushed northward across Fenshui River to Cizhou. After all, they lived in the same village, and the sound of finding their relatives and leaving still alarmed the three thousand people.They found out that they had left without saying goodbye, they were panicked for a while, and then they felt that they still had to report to Yuchi Jingde.They sent several people into the city to find Yuchi Jingde. The night watch school intercepted them.Seeing their flustered expressions, I became suspicious and surrounded them for questioning.The general on duty that night was still Ma Sanbao, when he saw these soldiers who came to look for Yuchi Jingde, after asking a few words, he knew that the traitor camp had left.Ma Sanbao was shocked and hurriedly called Yin Kaishan.Yin Kaishan was sleepy-eyed when he heard that Xun Xiang had betrayed him, so he cursed repeatedly: "Reverse, rebellious, Sanbao, you order eight thousand troops and horses and surround the rest of the people first, and I will lead people to capture Yuchi Jingde .These descendants are really a bunch of unfamiliar dogs." Ma Sanbao went to the west of the city to gather 8,000 troops and horses, lit torches and surrounded the village tightly.Here, Yin Kaishan led people to break into Yuchi Jingde's room, and Yuchi Jingde was tied tightly while he was asleep.After these things were completed, Yin Kaishan came to Li Shimin's residence to wake him up and let Li Shimin come and ask him. When he was still in Taiyuan, Li Zhongwen saw that there was no one to take care of Li Shimin, so he entered a girl from Le nationality to serve soup.This girl's name is Yin Mengjie, she is twenty-eight years old, she was born with a pink and oval face, almond eyes like waves, and a small cherry mouth with dimples on both sides.Li Shimin fell in love with him at the first sight. On the second night when he entered the mansion, Li Shimin served wine in the hall and asked Mengjie to play the pipa.At that time, the moon was on the tip of the mountain, and the red candles in the room were burning brightly. The two played songs and drank fine wine together.After several songs were performed, Meng Jie's small face was flushed red under the candlelight, and her almond eyes were watery and affectionate.Although she is a virgin now, she has heard a lot about Fengyue in Lehu for a long time, and the King Qin in front of her is famous, handsome, witty and affectionate, and her heart has long been placed on Li Shimin.When the moon was full, she half-pushed and gave up her daughter's body to Shimin.From then until Baibi, Li Shimin used all kinds of means to let Mengjie know what love is like, wishing to turn into a lump of mud and melt on him.Yin Kaishan knocked on the door outside, and the two were still hugging each other naked, having that wonderful dream.It was still a habit Li Shimin formed in the army for many years. After waking up, he heard Yin Kaishan knocking on the door. He opened his eyes and saw that the window was still dark, knowing that something important had happened.Looking down to see that Meng Jie was still awake, with a smile on her face, she lovingly removed her pink arm, got dressed and got out of bed. Li Shimin walked out of the door while knotting his clothes, and saw that under the light of the torch, Yin Kaishan's face was frightened and angry, and he said, "King Qin, we have a legacy of raising tigers, and Na Xun Lianye defected." Li Shimin was surprised: "It's fine during the day, why did something happen at night? Where's Jingde?" "That Yuchi Jingde lives in the city, and he won't be able to escape in the future, so let me tie him up tightly right now." Hearing that Yuchi Jingde was still alive, Li Shimin calmed down, thought for a while and said, "Come on, Duke Yin, let's sit down and talk slowly. Don't worry, the sky won't fall." Yin Kaishan sat down and narrated the process to Li Shimin in detail, and finally said: "This Yuchi Jingde and Xunxiang have the same nostrils. He didn't run away today, and he can't keep tomorrow. This time he was tied up by us again. He must have a bad taste in his heart. If you want me Said, cut it clean." Li Shimin heaved a long sigh and said, "Duke Yin, although you are vague, I think we are at fault for this matter. Hundreds of thousands of people have residences, so why did you leave out these 8,000 people? Ma Sanbao handles the matter." It's very insecure, like sending a beggar hastily. Yin Gong, we are fighting the world, how can we be small? These 8,000 soldiers are still ours, so they ran away with 5,000 because of a trivial matter. Not good, not good , or you didn't handle things properly." The soldiers and horses in the city rushed out of the city gate in a panic, waking up all the generals.They couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin saw Yuchi Jingde was tied up again, they asked him urgently, but no one could explain clearly, Cheng Yaojin yelled anxiously.Helpless, they swarmed to Li Shimin to ask what happened. Seeing the generals entering the door, Li Shimin said: "Xuanling, Wuji, you two go out of the city with my token, and call Ma Sanbao back first. Xuanling has always been cautious, remember, you must not have any conflicts with them!" Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji asked for details, agreed and left. Li Shimin asked everyone to sit down, and still spoke to Yin Kaishan: "The reason for the mutiny in the army is not only your responsibility. When I came to find the truth, I suggested that the 8,000 people were still under the command of him and Jingde. It’s not a taste—it’s just a drop, why are you still in that small circle? I’m not very warm to him. Now that I think about it, I’m still a bit narrow-minded.” Yin Kaishan clasped his hands and said: "King Qin, don't blame yourself, Ma Sanbao and I failed to handle this matter well, please punish us, King Qin. But I ran away to find a relative, and Yuchi Jingde was still detained by me. These deeds are still in the heart Two hearts, don't indulge. I intend to behead him on the spot, to make an example to others!" Li Shimin shook his head, raised his hand, and said, "Grand Yin, this is your idea, and we will also listen to everyone's opinions. Ruhui, and you gentlemen, let's talk about it." Du Ruhui nodded, and said: "At the beginning when the emperor raised troops in Taiyuan, the number was less than 100,000. Since then, it has gradually become a king's business. Among them, the word 'surrender' has been used well. It is necessary to surrender people, but also to surrender. On this point, Chu Brother Liang understands well." Chu Liang stood up and said, "It's very simple and easy to kill Yuchi Jingde, but it will chill the hearts of everyone. Since the founding of our dynasty, recruiting talents and doing good things are the key to establishing the king's career. They have fallen to the bottom. As big as Guanlong nobles, Shandong clans, and Jiangnan famous families, as small as a prefecture and a county, if you blindly kill people, everyone will be far away—Xue Rengao is a ready-made example." Li Shimin interjected: "That's right, I am satisfied with my dedication to returning the soldiers to their hearts, but it is not perfect. For example, Li Mi said at the time that he was ambitious and even rebellious. I also thought so at the beginning. Many people—they have different ranks, but they are all important people. They think that Li Mi’s family has mountains of gold and silver, and they try to ask for it. Surrender. Li Mi has always been arrogant, can he bear this for a long time? If he is so excited, he wants to leave Chang'an, which is better than living a life like a dog. Now that I am in the new dynasty, the bad official style of the former Sui Dynasty is still lingering , if you don’t change, how can you show your broad mind to win the trust of people in the world?” At this point, he obviously made up his mind, and said to Du Ruhui, “Ruhui, you have a discussion with Xue Shou and Chu Liang, and let me I sorted out a few things from what Chu Liang said, and informed the army. I wrote another memorial and asked the emperor to read it, so as not to chill people's hearts. Since everyone has surrendered to our dynasty, they are all subjects of the Tang Dynasty and cannot be separated from each other. " After hearing this, Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed: "King Qin's words touched my heart, King Qin, Brother Shubao and I will ensure that Hei Zi is fine, if he betrays, you will cut off both heads." Li Shimin said with a smile: "If Jingde really ran away and cut off your head, you don't complain, but you also cut off Brother Shubao's head. Brother Shubao, you will definitely cry out for injustice, right?" Qin Shubao repeatedly said: "I would like to protect virtue, although Yaojin is reckless, but what he said is also my heart." Their conversation made everyone chuckle, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became lively.Yin Kaishan realized the truth and hurried to untie Yuchi Jingde.Li Shimin stopped him and said, "Dr. Yin, we need to have an explanation for this matter. Ma Sanbao should be punished for his ineffectiveness, and he should be punished with 20 army sticks and dismissed from his position as the commander of the army. Let's go to see Jingde together now, Ruhui, go get a box of gold horseshoes you got in Taiyuan last time." Li Shimin led the people to the place where Yuchi Jingde was imprisoned. After entering the room, he saw that Yuchi Jingde was still tied tightly with ropes. Brother has suffered here. It is Ma Sanbao who is too reckless, I have already punished him, your grievances--" he said while helping him up. Yuchi Jingde was still tied up by the leader of Yin Kaishan in his sleep, at first he couldn't figure out what was going on, then he asked the guards and found out that he had defected, so he cursed in the room: "You guys don't distinguish between good and evil, You didn’t even ask to understand, Xunxiang left, and I didn’t leave. How could you tie me up so arbitrarily, I want to see the King of Qin, I want to see the King of Qin.” Seeing Li Shimin coming in front of him now, tears of grievance flowed down that black face, he broke down in tears and said, "The King of Qin knows me, the King of Qin knows me, since Heizi has surrendered to you, he has been completely determined." Li Shimin wiped away his tears for him, and said: "Jingde, others told me that you are extremely brave. If you are kidnapped this time, you will definitely have resentment. If you stay behind, you may cause future trouble. It is best to kill you. I have been thinking, Jingde is a man of loyalty, he knows how to leave when he leaves, and understands how to stay when he stays, and he will never leave without saying goodbye. If you are Hui, bring your things here." Du Ruhui brought the box of horseshoe gold and put it on Yuchi Jingde In front of him, Li Shimin pointed to him and said, "A big man shares loyalty and doesn't care about petty dislikes. Jingde, I won't listen to other people's words to kill you. Here is a box of horseshoe gold. If you want to keep it, you can go and comfort the three thousand horseshoe gold." My subordinate; if you wish to leave, I will use this gold offering as a road fund. After all, we have been working together for a while." When Yuchi Jingde heard it, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", kowtowed his head and said, "It is better to kill Jingde than King Qin. I have been tied up for a long time, and I know that King Qin will not treat me like this. Dacong surrendered in Jiezhou King Qin, Jingde has already made up his mind, in this life, I will be born to be King Qin's man and die to be King Qin's ghost, and I have no other intentions." After finishing speaking, he nodded repeatedly.Li Shimin hurried forward to help, and behind him Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin also came to help. A major event ended in a storm, and Yuchi Jingde wiped away his tears to comfort the besieged soldiers in the village. He did not take gold horseshoes, and said: "They surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and have already obtained the grace of the King of Qin. Starting tomorrow, the three thousand troops will be dispersed." Enter the big camp. The king of Qin will keep the gold first, and reward those who have made meritorious service." After saying that, he straddled his horse and left. Ma Sanbao was beaten with 20 army sticks, and his injuries were not serious. He lay on the bed and kept crying.After dawn, Li Wanniang heard the news and brought Qianzi to visit.Seeing Ma Sanbao's injury, Li Wanniang complained, "Erlang's hands are so heavy, why did he single-handedly blame Sanbao?" Qianzi was weeping secretly. Before the words fell, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wuji also came to visit.When Li Wanniang saw it, she immediately blamed Li Shimin for being too hot: "Erlang, why are you indiscriminate? Yin Kaishan is in charge of Baibi, and Sanbao is just an errand runner. Why did you beat him so hard?" Li Shimin went straight to Ma Sanbao's bed, looked at his injuries, and said lightly: "Sambao suffered this time, it's because I was cruel, and I had no choice. The surrendered generals have many soldiers, which will chill their hearts; Duke Yin is old, and he is also the minister of the father, so he has no choice but to make Sanbao suffer. Sanbao, do you hate me?" Ma Sanbao grinned his teeth in pain, and when he saw Li Shimin coming, he wanted to owe him a courtesy, but Li Shimin pushed him down. He said emotionally: "Sambao is not a fool, and he understands King Qin's intentions. When Zhuge Kongming beheaded Ma Su with tears, I just What's the point of suffering some flesh and blood? King Qin, your beating has made me understand again that big things can't be neglected because of petty suspicions." Li Shimin nodded and said: "It's good if you understand, but after all, I beat you, and I'm still my sister's favorite general. Seeing how wronged she is. Wuji, bring that box of gold and silver here. I'll give you these to heal your wounds. When you recover from your injury, come to Xin'an, and I will resume your command of the army." Ma Sanbao nodded repeatedly, weeping with gratitude. Li Wanniang laughed and scolded at the side: "Erlang, there are really you-you are a good person inside and out." Li Shimin got up and said: "No matter whether people are good or bad, they can't speak the word reason. After all, Sanbao has read books and understands things." Li Wanniang Qiangbai said: "I don't understand the reason for you to say that?" Li Shimin waved his hands again and again, and hurriedly changed the subject. Seeing Qianzi hiding aside, he smiled and said, "Qianzi, look at your face full of tears, and feel sorry for your husband? Three treasures If you go back to Chang'an to get married, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend, so I will let Jiamin and the others attend." Ma Sanbao was terrified: "We are servants of the Li family, how dare we bother the princess?" Li Wanniang snatched it up and said, "When you get married, I'll preside over it, and why don't you talk about whether or not to be a servant?" When leaving, Li Shimin begged Li Wanniang to bring Yin Mengjie back to Chang'an and hand it over to Changsun Jiamin.Li Wanniang agreed, and at the same time leaned towards Li Shimin and said, "I'll bring you one. When you conquer Luoyang, there will be a lot of beautiful women there. I'm afraid you will have to take back a few pairs." Two days later, Li Shimin's self-unified army went straight to Xin'an via Hedong.Here, Yin Kaishan, Li Wanniang and others crossed the river from Longmen and slowly returned to Chang'an. Luo Shixin occupied Cijian and waited for Li Yuan's imperial decree.Luo Shixin was eager to fight here, and Wang Shichong was even more anxious like ants on a hot pot in Luoyang, and organized soldiers and horses to come to him on his own initiative. As soon as Cijian was lost, the barrier to the west of Luoyang was lost, and the terrain became flat.If the Tang army came to attack, Wang Shichong had no choice but to rely on the city wall to resist, which made him extremely uncomfortable, and vowed to take Cijian down.He ordered Shan Xiongxin to lead 150,000 troops to set up camp five miles away from Cijian, mobilize all the siege equipment in Luoyang City and send them to the front of the formation, demanding that they be captured as soon as possible. On this day, Shan Xiongxin led his troops to attack. He first set up a catapult cart and a hard crossbow under the city, and aimed at the city wall for a burst of shots, so that the Tang army above disappeared.After firing continuously for an hour, Shan Xiong waved the signaling flag, and the soldiers who had been waiting in the rear rushed towards the city wall carrying ladders and other things like a tide.When they got close to the city wall, the catapults stopped firing, the ladder below the city rose, and the soldiers with swords and guns began to climb up the ladder.眼见他们攀到云梯半腰，唐兵突然从城墙上冒出来，他们皆身披重甲，铁盔护住脑袋仅露出一双眼睛，挡去城下射来的弩箭。只听他们齐发一声喊，城墙上顿时滚下无数的檑木、灰瓶，刚才发射过来的圆石也被他们拾起抛向敌人。一些唐军兵士手执长木杆伸出墙外，杆头叉住云梯顶端，一使力将梯子推翻。霎时间，跌出去的和身受重物而伤的郑兵像下饺子一样趴在墙根下，密密麻麻人人相叠，发出鬼哭狼嚎的声音，身子能动的人拼命向回跑。 罗士信和史大柰出现在城墙之上，眼望下面密密麻麻的郑军，史大柰忧心地说道：“罗总管，这次王世充下了大本钱，看样子，他志在必得啊！” 罗士信凝神观察，好一阵子才说道：“雄信如此攻打，毕竟落了俗套。史将军，我们凭城坚守，他再勇猛也无济于事。我看了，今天我们就这样耗下去，只要将其攀城之兵打掉，躲避其发射过来的石、弩，数日内当保无虞。到了夜里，我再带上五千人马冲入其营中骚扰一番，王世充派来的兵马再多，终无腾挪之地，时间长了，他们还会乖乖地退回洛阳。” 史大柰不再接言，看眼前阵势，正如罗士信所言，完全可以坚守数日。 整个白天，双方你来我往争夺不休。单雄信满怀信心想凭借自己的人多，一味猛攻，手法毕竟单一，终无建树。日落西山，双方罢战，慈涧城内和郑军大营燃起灯火，遥相辉映，平静中透着杀机。到了午夜子时过后，罗士信果然带领五千兵马悄悄接近敌营，顷刻之间，唐军大呼小叫，左冲右突，在郑军营中如旋风般兜了个来回。待单雄信稳下神来，组织人马聚拢包围的时候，唐军齐刷刷折头而返，片刻间已经入了慈涧。 两军就这样相持了数日，眼见无法攻破慈涧，单雄信心头煎熬，整日里绞尽脑汁寻思破敌之法。这天他改变攻击办法，不再派兵登城，而是派弓弩手护住攻城器具，整日里向城内发射。黄昏时分，从洛阳过来的一溜儿油壁车送来了一件厉害兵器。 单雄信那日苦恼之极，站在营房里向外张望。这时，一阵疾风旋起了涧水对岸几间房屋的茅草，这让他受到启发。当初郑军驻扎在慈涧的时候，多从远近山上割来茅草搭建房屋，慈涧狭小，城内多是茅屋。他想在城内燃起一把火，肯定会连绵烧起，届时唐军无处安身，只有乖乖地退走。其时的洛阳，西域诸国商贾往来频繁，异域珍玩器物及中土罕见物品在洛阳都能见到。西域龟兹山间盛产石油，石中日夜不停有油喷出，遇火即燃。洛阳达官贵人宴乐之际，常燃石油以烧鼎煮肉。单雄信这会儿忽发奇想，定下用石油攻击之计。他急令在洛阳城内遍征石油，一车车送到阵前。 兵士们将早已经准备好的布团浸入油中，其内为圆石，外裹麻布，经油一浸，顿时变成黑糊糊的一团。兵士小心翼翼将油布团放在抛石机上，机旁皆站立一名手持火把之人，地上蹲着之人负责发射。 单雄信亲临前线指挥，看到天色已黑，诸事完备，他示意发射开始。手持火把的兵士上前点燃了布团，慈涧城下顿时现出一长溜火龙。只听毕毕剥剥一阵声响，抛石机机括被打开，燃烧的油布团腾空而起，像一颗颗流星呈抛物线扑向城内。 火团在空中许多被风刮灭，终有一大半还在燃烧的火团落入了城内，瞬间点燃了大片茅草房，先是一点点燃起，继而燃烧成片。城外，燃烧的布团层出不穷地接连射进来，火势越烧越猛，全城陷入一片火海之中。单雄信一面发射火团，一面组织冲锋队伍准备连夜攻城。 罗士信和史大柰其时正在一起商量防御之法，看到城内火起，又见空中疾如流星的火团若天女散花般撒入城内，罗士信疾步冲出室外，说道：“不好，单雄信还是想出招儿来了，史将军，我们走。”说罢，他提步向城墙奔去。 城内的大火和单雄信阵前的火光相映成辉，将四周照得通亮。火光中，可以看到城内的唐军惊慌失措，狼狈逃窜。罗士信、史大柰无心顾及，想先把单雄信下一步的行动看清再说。 漆黑的夜色背景下，郑军的一举一动在火光辉映下看得非常清楚。看样子，单雄信已经下令攻城队伍开始行动，只见人影幢幢，正列队向这边行来。 火光中，罗士信的一双浓眉紧紧皱起，史大柰说道：“罗总管，单雄信利用火攻已挫我军锐气，其攻城之军已经发动。而我们在城内因熊熊大火已无立锥之地，看样子，不得不放弃慈涧了。” 罗士信明白现在到了紧要关头，断然道：“我们撤！史将军，你马上下城墙去收拢队伍向新安撤退，我这里先抵御单雄信一阵，你在新安接应我。” 史大柰不同意自己先撤，执意要留下断后。惹得罗士信大吼起来：“史大柰，你敢违抗我的军令吗？让你先撤就赶快走，再啰啰嗦嗦，我一剑斩了你。” 史大柰急忙跑步下城，边跑边向罗士信喊道：“我在西门外留下三千马匹，在八陡山脚排阵等你。” 罗士信向他挥了挥手，埋头组织人马抵抗。城下，郑军前锋已将云梯架起，罗士信拔出佩剑，迎空一挥喝道：“听我的号令，打！”话声一落地，城墙上滚下无数檑木，抛出无数灰瓶。本来唐军看到城内火起，正在那里六神无主，见到罗士信总管不避矢石，威风凛凛仗剑而立，精神顿时一振，纷纷上前竭力抵御郑军的攻击。 这场战斗直杀到子夜时分，唐军内受火烤，外受矢石，损折严重，伤亡五千余人。罗士信站在城墙上指挥，被飞来的流矢击中右臂，血流不止。这时罗士信得知史大柰已率众退到八陡山并在那里列阵，遂下令众兵士集合所有的抛打之物向郑军发动一波猛烈攻击，趁郑军略作退却的间隙，率领残兵火速退下火线到西门乘马，慈涧复入王世充之手。 单雄信攻入慈涧，只见满城火光依旧，房屋皆成灰烬。他有心领军西追，又恐怕唐军在黑夜之中设下埋伏，遂按兵不动，唐军得以从容退回新安。 算下来，罗士信夺得慈涧后仅守了二十三日。 罗士信退回新安的第二天，李元吉、屈突通带领十万人马赶到这里。到了第四天，李世民十二万大军也浩浩荡荡渡过黄河向新安赶来。一时间，新安方圆连营十里，周围遍树唐军旗幡。罗士信兵败慈涧，为防郑军西突，就在新安东门外八陡山下遍设壕沟、鹿砦。孰料数日不见郑军动静，想单雄信得了慈涧，深为满足，竟然不思向西挪动一步。 闻听李世民即到新安，李元吉、屈突通、萧瑀、封德彝、罗士信、史大柰等人出城迎候。看见众人来迎接，李世民滚鞍下马，说道：“劳烦各位出城，其实不用如此多礼，世民不胜惶恐。” 李元吉满面笑容，说道：“二哥是北征英雄，又是东征元帅，我若不迎，到了中军还不先拿小弟来开刀吗？” 李世民哈哈一笑，并不直接作答，上前执起萧瑀之手，说道：“萧公、封公、屈公，听说你们在长安向父皇多提妙计，此次东征，你们又力主成行。世民深为父皇有了你们这些忠臣良弼感到欣喜呢！” 萧瑀说道：“二郎抬举我了，此次东征，老臣本意反对，皇上坚意要战，还派我等来军中效力。皇上坚毅敏捷，既有此旨意，那是不会错的。”一旁的封德彝轻笑道：“萧令转变得好快啊。” 待李世民到了罗士信面前，罗士信器宇轩昂而立，泠然说道：“士信无能，丢了慈涧，设若秦王早来数日，不致有今日之局面。”李世民察觉其话语里有不谐和之音，没往深处想，只是对他问候一声，又招呼大家道：“大家先入城吧，炎日当头，我们更是衣不卸甲，身上汗水早出了数遍。士信兄，你是地主，不知预备有酸梅汤没有？” 这天午时过后，众人齐集城内杨氏庄园。这座庄园为隋朝宗室杨绛所建，杨绛家人平日多在洛阳居住，只盛夏时来此避暑。庄园建在城内居中小山的山腰间，周旁流水潺潺，上下杂树森森，盛夏时节迈入园门，一身的热汗顿感冰释。园中房屋众多，入城之人官职大者皆在园中居住。居中建有一座阔约三十丈的大堂，就充作了议事大厅。 众人相继落座，李世民居中，其他人在两排椅子间相对而坐，秦王府属坐在后排，现在的秦王府属日渐增多，在那里坐了密密的一大片。 李世民品咂着盖碗里的酸梅汤，笑对罗士信道：“士信兄，住入这座神仙府邸，再喝酸梅汤，就有些多余了。”李世民很关心此次慈涧之战，入城后不久就将史大柰叫来询问。史大柰原原本本将其间情况详述了一遍，最后提醒李世民道：“这罗士信确实为一猛将，然受其声名之累，等闲人他都不看在眼里。更有甚者，其言谈举止里流露出的意思，连殿下你他也很不以为然呢！” 史大柰这些年随李世民东征西讨，早将李世民敬如神人一般。突厥人与他人交往时，最重义气，若他真正折服一个人的时候就极端忠诚，甚至虔诚，不容别人当面说坏话。李世民听到罗士信对自己不以为然，心里还是一动。这些年他诸事顺利，见者莫不恭维赞颂，猛一听有人对自己不恭敬，心里确实不是味道。他思索片刻，还是说道：“史将军，今日所谈之事到此为止，本王甚谢你的诚心。至于罗总管，只要他诚心向唐，对我有什么看法，那也不算什么。” 这会儿李世民主动向罗士信搭话儿，没想到罗士信缺少幽默，接口道：“秦王，我们言归正传，今天要谈的是如何夺回慈涧，什么汤不汤的，士信没有这般心情谈论。” 看到罗士信如此不识趣，众人一时尴尬，堂内静了下来，他们把眼睛齐刷刷地盯向李世民。冷不防程咬金在角落里传过话来：“这个罗子，好没趣味，你若整日就知道打呀杀的，为何到了陕州又娶了一房媳妇儿？” 众人顿时哄堂大笑，罗士信脸上也挂不住，终于憋出了笑容。他深知程咬金的脾气，这会儿程咬金当众抢白，他也无可奈何。 李世民将手挥了一下，止住众人笑声，说道：“士信兄说得有理！世民此次忝为东征元帅，今日堂议，打败王世充是我们的主题。慈涧为攻取洛阳的咽喉之地，必须攻下，此事不用再议！”说到这里，他的目光漫过萧瑀、封德彝、屈突通三人，笑道，“父皇重视这次战事，特派'三公'前来督战。还请你们三人先发表高见。” 李元吉忍耐不住，抢先说道：“我们最好先听罗总管的意见，他在这里经营多时，甚为了解王世充的情况。”李元吉现为齐王，除了李世民，位在其他人之上，李世民隔开他去问别人，其心里先有一丝不舒服。看到罗士信桀骜不驯，马上感到遇到了知音，这会儿抢先把话引开，既想引人注意，又想招揽罗士信。 李世民头也不回，用眼光鼓励那三人发言，萧瑀咳了一下嗓子，说道：“要说打仗，我和德彝皆是外行。皇上此次让我们从军，想是借我们修通与朝中管道，说明皇上对此役深为重视，决断杀伐，临机决之。秦王，放眼朝中能征之帅舍你其谁？老臣来此，也像对皇上那样尽力辅佐，有用得着我的地方，就请吩咐好了。”封德彝也持同议，两位朝中重臣上来就亮明了态度。 屈突通缓言道：“皇上意思，是想一举解决洛阳王世充。我朝至今，已非昔日，粮秣军需、能战将士，皆优于王世充。秦王所言必攻慈涧，我很赞同。至于下一步如何，待拿下慈涧后，徐图发展吧。” 李世民遍视众人，鼓励他们说话，说道：“士信兄，四郎刚才所说极是，要攻打洛阳你最有发言权，谈谈你的想法。还有世兄、叔宝兄、咬金兄，你们的意思呢？” 罗士信昂然道：“士信这次丢了慈涧，若再兴兵，愿为前锋，若不能拿下提头来见。” 李世缓缓道：“我军重兵之下，拿下慈涧易如反掌。之后的事情，还要徐徐图之。我知洛阳城坚壁厚，若硬攻死拼，伤亡必大。” 秦叔宝、程咬金点头称是。 褚亮离席说道：“夫战，收心也。方今天下百姓厌战，人心安定，当初收河东百般顺利就是顺了民心。我朝如今渐统国土，士子仰望正统所归。此次出征，既要攻坚，又要派人广出洛阳周围宣知我朝正义，借以收心。我闻王世充貌似宽仁，骨子里处政苛暴，若能抚慰众心当能收到奇效。” 杜如晦深以为然，补充道：“王世充为一机巧胡人，外托勇猛，实无大志，成就今日气候，机遇和其居东都使然！褚亮兄所言极是，攻心为上。” 一时间，堂内众人纷纷议论，李世民倾心听讲，不时插言。那边，李元吉显然无法融入这场议论之中，偶尔插言几句又离题太远，弄得自己冷场半天，到了最后，他自己也觉得实在无趣，干脆闭起了嘴巴不再说话。 堂议到日头偏西，李世民看到已经议论得差不多了，遂说道：“今天就到这里吧，人言本王打仗喜欢坚壁不出，并非常势，此次去攻慈涧我就要变一变法子。明天请士信兄、敬德随我到慈涧阵前走一趟。我的习惯大家都知道，就是要眼见为实。至于拿下慈涧以后的事情，大家还要多想想，屈公，我让玄龄、如晦帮你，你们多琢磨一些办法，随后再议。听说这里的涧水夕照算是一景，左右无事，我们一同去观赏一番如何？” 众人兴致皆高步出园外，唯李元吉心里不是滋味。他从李世民的眼色中可以看出，这个二哥压根就没有把他这个兄弟放在眼里，好像自己不在这里，还在长安似的。
