Chapter Sixteen: Anger and Hatred
(Vote for me................)
Communication in this era, everyone knows!
Li Shimin knew that his third brother had fought against the 100,000-strong Turkic army, but this was not something he had seen with his own eyes! According to his third brother's military strength, Li Shimin guessed that at the time, it should have been Shi Bi Khan who first clashed with Li Yuanba, and after being injured, he saw that it was difficult to defeat Li Yuanba for a while, and also worried that Yang Guang's subordinate Yuwen Chengdu would take advantage of his injury to launch a sneak attack, so he had no choice but to retreat! One person against 100,000 troops... can't imagine!
The cavalry sent by Zhangsun's clan first caught up with them. After all, Li Shimin couldn't have brought all infantry...
Li Shimin originally intended to ride his precious horse himself to chase after Li Yuanba, but the suggestion from Zhangsun Wuji made him suppress his own thoughts. "Your Excellency, the third young master's martial prowess is unparalleled. If we were to catch up to him now and inform him of the news, I fear that he would immediately return! This would not be beneficial for the Duke..."
Li Shimin thought for a moment, and indeed! These three younger brothers might actually give up rescuing their father for the sake of a woman. Alas! Let this second brother take care of it, after all, our father's safety is the most important thing!
If Li Yuanba knew about this matter, he would definitely return immediately! Li Yuan was the emperor after all, it's impossible for him to die here!
When Li Yuanba and others were about to arrive at Sparrow Valley where Li Yuan was surrounded, Li Yuanba had already picked up his double hammers and rushed into the valley with a speed that was not inferior to that of a running horse! Li Yuan and others could still hold on, relying on the geographical advantage and several thousand elite soldiers and strong generals, and for the time being, there was no great danger. Li Yuan and others were defending a high ground in the valley, surrounded by layers of dense crowds!
Li Yuanba has come to kill! Sparrow Valley is known as the Thousand Mile Diameter, a strategic location that military strategists must contend for. The terrain is quite interesting, from above it looks like a lollipop, and Li Yuanba starts charging in from the handle of the lollipop!
Seeing that thieving soldier, his crimson eyes had only killing intent! His lips were sealed shut, but in his mind was the pale face of his wife, consumed by unbearable grief. The windbreaker his wife had sewn for him with her own hands was puffed up as if it would burst, and the golden mallet in his hand shone with a fierce light, ready to strike at anyone who approached!
Li Yuanba was like a bomb, suddenly smashing into the crowded crowd that had not yet reacted, and exploding with a loud noise! Anyone who appeared in his eyes became Li Yuanba's target for slaughter! Due to the terrain, Li Yuanba charged inward, and many of the bandits in front of him did not even see their own faces before being killed...
When Li Shimin's cavalry arrived ahead of schedule, all they saw was a long trail of flesh and blood.
In just three short hours, including the main general Zhen Yier, nearly 600,000 bandits were killed by Li Yuanba's own hands! When Li Yuanba appeared before Li Yuan and others, both sides were shocked by Li Yuanba's tyrannical killing! When Li Yuan wanted to launch a joint attack with his men to break out of the encirclement, Li Yuanba shouted loudly: "All of you, block off the escape routes on both sides for me! I will personally kill all these miscellaneous soldiers!" Those who disobeyed and approached Li Yuanba's side to kill a few stray soldiers were smashed flat by Li Yuanba, whose eyes had turned red with rage.
Except for a few bandits who fled from the start because they were close to both escape routes, all the rest entered hell! There were those who surrendered, but no one dared to receive them.
This battle was Li Yuan's failure to accept a surrendering soldier.
One man killed over 600,000 people, Li Yuanba became the devil king of both enemy and our side, daring to be angry but not dare to speak! That bloody body and cold killing intent, if there were a million enemy troops in front of him at this moment, Li Yuanba would definitely raise his double hammers and brutally slaughter them!
When Li Shimin met with them, as soon as Li Yuanba heard the news of Han Lin, he handed over his double hammers to his personal soldiers, pulled down Li Shimin with one hand, and rode on Yang Guang's Su Lü Zibao horse, rushing home in a cloud of dust!
After Li Yuan and others left, a secret order was given. Tang Gong Li Yuan stayed in Taiyuan as the guardian, with Hu Ben Lang Jiang Wang Wei and Hu Ya Lang Jiang Gao Junya as his deputies, leading troops to attack Zhi Erzi. They met at Que Shu Valley. Li Yuan's army had only a few thousand men, surrounded by thieves for several times; Li Shimin led the elite soldiers to rescue him, pulled Li Yuan out of the crowd of thousands, and when the infantry arrived, they joined forces and defeated them greatly.
When Li Yuanba arrived home, Han Lin was already on her last breath. Seeing Li Yuanba, Han Lin's eyes lit up with a desperate gaze: "Husband... my father's... remains...?" Li Yuanba shook his head.
Han Lin, the wife who had been with Li Yuanba for less than two years, left Li Yuanba's world in grief!
"I'm used to it... The departure of my parents in my past life made me lose the warmth of family, and now you're leaving me too... I know that a woman as talented and beautiful as you married me, you must have felt wronged! But why did we fall in love, only for you to leave me again?... Holding your hand, growing old together... Lin'er, this time I won't come back to see you again! Let me sing one more song for you... Not waiting for our next life's appointment, this life must be without regret... The long sorrow of heaven and earth, tears that have dyed my blood red... " Duo Fei, like the gentle singing of that night, but different this time with a hint of sadness.
Li Yuanba experienced the sorrow of love for the first time. In his past life, he despised the kind of love that would die and come back to life in TV dramas, often saying "What's the big deal about love?! What can't I do without you? Can't even breathe?! And yet, I'm still chasing after women who don't want me! If they don't agree, it's like the earth has stopped spinning! What a joke! It's really disgusting!"
At this time, he sat on the ground and couldn't get up after finishing singing! Not that he didn't want to leave, but he couldn't bear to... "Hehe, Lin'er! I just thought of a poem, you've definitely never heard it before... The sky is long, the earth is old, there is an end, this hatred is endless, with no end to this regret!" After finishing speaking, he suddenly stood up and mounted his horse, leaving in a cloud of dust.
A gentle breeze blew by, and in the beautiful valley, that solitary newly buried tomb seemed to whisper: "Heaven and earth have an end, but this hatred has no end... What are you hating... Me..."
The devil is enraged, and corpses are laid out for a thousand miles! But who knows about the devil's weakness and tenderness...
"What a beautiful melody, but it will eventually come to an end. This sorrow is endless, who is he?" Not far away, a beautiful and unparalleled dragonfly emerged from the water pool, waiting until the person could no longer be seen...
"Father, look at Third Brother insisting on burying his wife in the mountain valley. This is not in line with our family's rules! If he does this, I'll do my own thing too. In the future, where will we put our ancestors' graves?" Li Shimin really wanted to let Li Yuan manage Third Brother, but that one pull almost pulled him into hell...
"I think the third brother has his own plans, otherwise, you as the older brother should personally talk to the third brother." Li Jiancheng was very displeased with Li Shimin's behavior towards the third brother. If he had the ability, he should have talked to him personally instead of using their father to suppress him?
"I...". Li Shimin was speechless, at that time Li Yuanba insisted on burying Han Lin in the mountain valley, he wanted to say something, but his father didn't utter a word, seeing Li Yuanba's dead eyes, it was frightening.
"Alright!" Li Yuan stood up to stop the two brothers' secret struggle, paused for a moment: "In the next few days, the daughter of the head of the Confucian Tianxing Sect will come to discuss something with her father. At the same time, there is also the second disciple of the Jingtu Temple abbot. You should entertain them well. Jiancheng, you should also pay attention to the situation in Hedong! This is the gateway to my Taiyuan, and it's crucial!"
"Yes, the child will go and arrange the wing room now. How many of them are there?" Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin asked in unison.
"It's just between the two of us! You handle it." With that, Li Yuan walked out.
"Master Wang Tong and Yan Fa Shi's disciples, what are they doing here? Are they also going to get involved in government affairs?" With the same confusion, the two brothers also walked out.
