Early in the morning on February 28th, Hao Hao packed up and headed to Jidongguan.
At this time, Li Shimin was already waiting inside Jidong Pass.
For a month, the Tang army defended the west bank of Qingyi River and Jidong Pass, suffering heavy casualties. The number of troops in Li Shimin's hands suffered more than two-thirds of the casualties and was no more than 13,000. The morale of the three armies was low and people's hearts were in turmoil. This battle was almost unwinnable.
When the news about Jidongguan arrived, Li Shimin was directing operations at the Tsing Yi Water Defense Line.
Li Shimin was still a little confused when he got the unsigned letter, but after opening the letter, he was a little stunned.
The letter is a poem, which reads: "Playing on the pond together, hand in hand on the withered sail. The boat moves and divides the waves, and the wind scatters the floating fragrance. The orioles have no fixed song, and the frightened ducks move in disorder. The lotuses are thin and the sound is broken, The water is wide and the songs are long. The crows are nestled in the dense trees, and the overflowing water returns to Jianzhang."
This is a poem Li Shimin gave to Hao Hao when he went on an outing with Huang Mingyuan in Youzhou.
Is it good?
Li Shimin couldn¡¯t believe it.
With doubts and expectations, Li Shimin went to Jidong Pass, without even thinking about whether this was a trap set by the Ming army.
Li Shimin believes that it must be a good thing, and no one else will know about it, because no one will know about this letter.
Li Shimin was waiting in front of Jidong Pass early in the morning. Because of the continuous fighting, the front of Jidong Pass was filled with smoke, corpses were strewn in the fields, and even the air smelled of blood.
It snowed just two days ago. The white snow was mixed with blood, and it actually looked like red snow.
From in front of Jidong Pass, you can see Mingshan County opposite.
Li Shimin kept looking around, his agitated heart unable to calm down for a long time.
Soon a huge carriage appeared on the opposite side and drove slowly towards Jidong Pass. A group of black-armored cavalry guarded both sides, very solemn.
Five hundred steps away from Jidong Pass, the Ming cavalry stopped, but only the carriage continued to move forward.
When Li Shimin saw this, he clamped the horse's belly and beat the horse forward.
Soon Li Shimin met the carriage and stopped ten steps in front of the carriage.
It was only then that Li Shimin discovered that the person driving the car was actually Chen Kedi.
Without even looking at Li Shimin, Chen Kedi stopped the carriage steadily, jumped out of the carriage, and put down the horse stool.
At this time, the carriage opened from the inside, and two maids came out first, lifting the curtains on the left and right, and then saw a woman wearing a bright red gorilla felt and a feather satin cloak getting out of the carriage.
This man got off the carriage and walked towards Li Shimin alone.
The red cloak is walking in the world of white snow. It is beautiful and shining, like a red plum standing proud of the snow, and like an elf descending to the world.
Li Shimin was in trance, staring at the other person, motionless, as if he was intoxicated. It wasn't until the other person came to the horse that Li Shimin quickly jumped off the horse.
The person who came was exactly what he had been thinking about day and night.
Li Shimin returned to Jinyang from Hebei and rebelled with Li Yuan. He has never regretted it. His only regret is that he missed Haohao.
This kind of regret will not disappear with time, but will become more and more clear and thorough with the passage of time and the ups and downs of life.
"well!"
He walked up to Li Shimin, bowed gently and said, "Brother Shimin, long time no see."
Li Shimin looked at Hao Hao and had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know what to say.
"How are you?"
Li Shimin¡¯s eyes were a little sparkling, this was the love he had given up! My beloved!
"Compared with Li Shimin's emotions, Hao Hao is very indifferent. In the final analysis, the story between her and Li Shimin had only one title and no content. Although she had a good impression of Li Shimin, that was all.
"I have traveled two thousand and five hundred miles. Brother Shimin, don't you want to sit down and talk with me?"
At this time, a maid had already arranged a table and a narrow couch beside the two of them.
"good!"
The two of them were sitting on opposite sides of the table across the table, which seemed to be a kind of confrontation.
Li Shimin is not a small person after all. Although he was a little embarrassed at the beginning, he soon calmed down and thought about his good intentions.
He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li Shimin.
"I learned it from Aunt Zhen when I was a child. My father loves to drink the tea I brew most. This Wuyishan Dahongpao has a yield of less than a pound in the best years. It is my father's favorite. I can't bear to drink it on weekdays."
Li Shimin picked up the cup and felt the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. When you put it in your mouth, it has a fragrant aroma and a sweet aftertaste.
Li Shimin put down his cup and finally couldn't help but said: "?The swords and swords on the battlefield are ruthless. This is not the place you should be. You should go back! "
He took a good look at Li Shimin and then asked: "Will you kill me?"
Li Shimin was immediately speechless.
With a good smile, Li Shimin felt like all the flowers in the world were blooming.
"Daddy, because of your affairs, I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well these days, and I haven't even had a happy year this year. I didn't want dad to be unhappy, so I came to Shuzhong."
Li Shimin¡¯s face darkened after hearing this.
"I'm sorry, teacher!"
He poured another cup and said, "Dad has never blamed you, and you can't help it. He said, 'All children in the world are the only ones with parents who don't know how to teach.' If a child makes a mistake, just help him correct it. How can one be blamed?¡±
When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes immediately turned red.
Hao Hao continued: "There may have been reasons for everything in the past. But now, I don't know what you are still insisting on? What do you want to prove? You have defended this lonely city and fought for more than two months, causing countless casualties. , and what can be gained.
Dad is willing to treat you as his own child, but why can't you treat him as your father? "
Big tears passed through Li Shimin's eyes and hit the ground heavily.
"I can't look back. Ever since I left Xindu, I can't look back."
"Nonsense! No one can stop you from turning back."
"Okay, you don't understand!"
Li Shimin shook his head heavily and said: "Today, there is no place for me in the world. I am not afraid of death, and I can face death calmly a long time ago, but I don't want to be a spineless dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy, going to Luoyang to be punished. ridicule."
"No one will laugh at you, and you won't be a dog."
"Look at Li Shimin carefully, feel sorry for his misfortune, and be angry that he won't fight.
"I understand all the kindness the teacher has been to me, and I also understand the kindness you treat me. But you and the teacher are not the only ones in Luoyang City. With the protection of the teacher, I can live, but if I am careful, I can face it humbly. Everyone, is that still me?¡±
Hao Hao looked at Li Shimin coldly, but instead of accepting his statement, he was angry.
"You have never understood Daddy, not even a little bit. You have no idea how hard he has cared for you. You are Daddy's most valued disciple, a flying eagle who wants to soar in the sky. Why should you live a miserable life?" , even if you agree, dad will not agree.
¡°Daddy has always been prepared to use you as a general and let you run Nanzhong. After a few years, he will go to the Western Regions and become the next champion. Dad has always been thinking about you, but you have never understood his painstaking efforts. "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
