Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

"This time he snatched the imperial decree and disappeared. He must have delayed the battle."

"Your Majesty, this son has acted recklessly and despised the imperial power not once or twice."

"I implore you, please execute this Li Qiu according to the law, so as to make an example to others!"

Listening to his words, Du Ruhui frowned.

"Before Li Qiu approached the minister, saying that he was going to Shuofang City to rescue General Chai Shao."

"The minister didn't approve, so he submitted a form to His Majesty again, but was rejected by His Majesty again."

"This time, don't even think about it, Li Qiu must have gone to Shuofang against the decree."

After Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling's tone was heavy, and after taking a breath, he looked at Feng Deyi slowly and sighed:

"Na Shuofang City was newly built not many years ago. It is tall and strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"At the time of the siege, our army was at an absolute disadvantage."

"No matter how good Li Qiu's martial arts are, they won't show much in the process of attacking the city."

"Moreover, it is often the one who is more heroic, who receives the most volleys and attacks from the defenders."

"Let's go, Li Qiu, ten deaths and no life."

"According to Li Qiu's character of being the first to bear the brunt of every battle, once he leads a team to attack the city, the chance of coming back alive is one in a million."

"So it's meaningless for Master Feng to discuss whether to kill him for resisting the decree."

After hearing his words, Feng Deyi was taken aback for a moment, and then subconsciously asked a question in his heart.

"Xuanling, what do you mean, knowing that he will die if he goes to Shuofang, he still hijacks the imperial decree and goes away in disobedience?"

"I'm afraid it doesn't make sense?"

Hearing his suspicious words, a trace of anger flashed in Du Ruhui's eyes.

"Li Qiu is a son who values ​​love and righteousness, is courageous, and behaves eclecticly. He is very different from the people we have seen and known."

"Back then on the banks of the Weishui River, he led hundreds of elite cavalry, and dared to break into the Turkic army of 10,000+."

"Now, because of Luo Cheng, Chai Shao treats Li Qiu best on weekdays, so Li Qiu has to risk his life to go to Shuofang to rescue Chai Shao."

"Maybe, after he left, he never planned to come back alive..."

Listening to his words, the eyes of Princess Pingyang on the side showed great shock, followed by that kind of deep moving and reluctance.

This is a lifelong friendship!

The more at this moment of life and death, the more precious and sincere a person's feelings can be reflected.

At this time, Li Shimin, listening to Fang Xuanling's analysis, had already turned his body sideways, raised his head slightly, and quietly closed his eyes.

Then I couldn't help but imagined in my mind, Li Qiu in silver armor led his team to attack the city, and then all kinds of miserable ways to die.

The tears that rolled in my eyes because of my sister and brother-in-law just now finally couldn't hold back and rolled down quietly.

In his life, he did not know how many cities he had attacked.

It is also natural to know the dangers.

So this is one of the reasons why he ordered the withdrawal of troops.

If this Shuofang City is attacked forcefully, it will be impossible to attack!

Just when they were talking, Empress Changsun was rushing towards Chengqing Palace with eunuchs and court ladies.

Today she just heard the news of Li Qiu's disappearance, so she thought of coming to Chengqing Hall to ask about the situation.

But who would have thought that he happened to hear what Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling said.

At that moment, Empress Changsun felt her eyes darken, her body collapsed as if she had lost her support.

……

In the middle of the night, the lights in the Lizheng Hall remained on.

Empress Changsun's eyes were red from crying, and she who never interfered in state affairs finally couldn't help but begged.

"Erro."

"I beg you, save Qiu'er, okay?"

At this time, Li Shimin stood by the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the night outside.

After listening to his wife's words, he almost trembled and took a deep breath with endless sadness.

"Ugh……"

"Guanyin servant girl, it's not that I don't want to save you."

"It's just that it's too late..."

"Qiu'er... like when I was young!"

"He is also a good man of my Tang Dynasty!"

"It is the eternal pride in my heart..."

While talking, a tear of extreme reluctance slipped quietly from the corner of Li Shimin's eyes.

Empress Changsun had already buried her head on the bed, silently mourning and weeping.

……

In the mansion of the old county king, Luo Kexin, who had already put on his helmet and armor, was pacing restlessly around the room.

Originally, she was planning to escape from the mansion in the dark, but was caught by the old county king.

"grandfather!"

"Why are you stopping me? Why don't you let me go to Shuofang?"

The old county king shook his head and glanced at her, "Do you think you are still in the boundary of our own Youzhou City?"

"This is in Chang'an!"

"If you mess around like this, it's easy to cause big trouble!"

"Furthermore, Li Qiu has been away for a day and a night."

"That means it's too late to go there now."

"Right now, the only thing you need to do is to wait patiently and don't cause any unnecessary trouble."

"Li Qiu's child is auspicious, so nothing will happen."

With this last sentence, even the old county king himself felt that he lacked confidence.

……

In Duke Ying's mansion, Wu Jue also asked about his father's detailed situation with a nervous and anxious expression.

As for the samurai Xun, although the words he spoke were very relaxed.

But it is inevitable that there will be some squeaking and unsmoothness.

Wu Jue, who is extremely thoughtful and meticulous, can naturally hear something different from it, which makes her extremely worried.

……

In the afternoon two days later, under Shuofang City.

In the absence of receiving the imperial edict, the commander-in-chief Li Jing still decided to withdraw his troops.

He can't go on like this anymore and let the soldiers of Datang make unnecessary sacrifices, adding more firewood to the Liang division every day.

In the current situation, even if he is unwilling to admit it, he has to accept the reality.

This Chai Shao, he can't save him.

Even Shuofang City could not be conquered by him.

Over the past few days, nearly [-] soldiers have been lost.

When it is interrupted, it will suffer from chaos.

Absolutely can't go on like this.

After hearing this order from Li Jing, more than 1 soldiers originally deployed by Chai Shao, with red eyes and tears, all knelt down to Li Jing with a plop.

Chapter 140 Do You Dare Someone To Follow Me To Death?

Marshal, our general is still hanging on the tower! "

"We can't just leave him alone!"

"Marshal, we beg you, don't withdraw troops, let's try one last time, we can't just leave General Chai Shao here..."

Seeing these soldiers like this, Li Jing's heart was also bleeding.

However, as the commander-in-chief, he is responsible for the entire army and this Great Tang.

Even if he didn't want to, he could only reluctantly make this decision.

"After a moment, withdraw the troops immediately."

"Those who violate orders, beheaded!"

After finishing speaking, Li Jing turned around and went back to the barracks.

Only in this way can we completely eradicate the last thoughts in the hearts of this group of people and prevent them from making unnecessary sacrifices.

After hearing Li Jing's military order and seeing Li Jing turn around and return to the camp, these more than 1 soldiers who have followed Chai Shao for many years.

They all turned around and knelt down to Chai Shao who was facing the gate tower.

Tears of sadness and annoyance rolled in my eyes...

"General..."

"We're sorry for you..."

"What should we do..."

Just when all the soldiers were in despair, suddenly with a hissing sound, a red figure as fast as lightning appeared in front of all of them accompanied by smoke and dust.

And when they saw the red horse and the silver-robed general holding Fang Tian's painted halberd on the horse, everyone showed an unbelievable shock and surprise.

"General Shenwu?!"

"General Li Qiu!"

"It's General Li Qiu!"

"General Li Qiu is here!"

"General Li Qiu came to rescue our family, General Chai Shao came..."

After seeing Li Qiu appearing on the battlefield, the group of soldiers burst into tears as they talked.

It was as if they wanted to tell General Li Qiu all the incomparable humiliation, anger and grievance they had suffered during this period of time.

In the hearts of each of them, their great general is the god of war sent by heaven to Datang, who is invincible and omnipotent.

In the current almost desperate situation, only General Li Qiu can save their family's General Chai Shao.

At this time, Li Qiu glanced at all the soldiers, then turned his horse's head and looked at the high Shuofang city wall.

And Chai Shao, who was hanging there in the city tower, apparently passed out and had little strength.

At that moment, Li Qiu's expression and eyes were calm.

But the more calm it is, the more it proves the endless anger and murderous intent in Li Qiu's heart.

Afterwards, Li Qiu turned his gaze back to the group of more than 1 soldiers surrounded here.

"For a while, does anyone dare to attack the city with me?"

Hearing Li Qiu's words, all the soldiers present couldn't believe their ears.

These days, what they are most afraid of is to withdraw their troops and leave General Chai Shao alone.

Moreover, they also begged Xue Wanjun and Marshal Li Jing many times in private, but they all ended in vain.
