I'm a marquis in Datang

After hearing this, Wei Shuyu looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Your Majesty, it is already late at night and early in the morning. At this time, there are still bad people

It must be extremely important news to report.Please go out of the palace and see what the news is? "

Li Shimin said: "You don't have to go out of the palace, come here, and bring bad people into the palace to report the news."

"Yes!"

The waiter turned around and left.

As the servant turned around and retreated, Li Shimin said again: "Chai Shao is still a bit behind. Among the rest, who do you think can lead the army as a general?"

Fang Xuanling suddenly said: "Your Majesty, what if Yang Shidao is arranged to lead the army?"

Yang Shidao was born in the Hongnong Yang family.

He is a descendant of a famous family, and even a family member of the Sui Dynasty, but the relationship is not very close.After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Shidao defected to Datang, and was highly regarded by Li Yuan, who even married his daughter to Yang Shidao.

When it comes to relationships, Yang Shidao is a relative of Tang Dynasty.Moreover, Yang Shidao is quite capable, and he served as Tai Changqing in the court.Because Yang Shidao was a civil servant, he also remained neutral, so he was never prominent and has always been a Chinese official.

Well-behaved.

After hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "That's not right. Although Yang Shidao is capable, he still lacks the ability to lead troops. He prefers to be a civil servant, and it's not appropriate to be a general."

Li Shimin directly rejected Fang Xuanling's proposal, because Yang Shidao was not suitable after all.

Fang Xuanling thought carefully again.

When Fang Xuanling was thinking, there was already a servant leading the bad guys in.After this unscrupulous person stood still and saluted Li Shimin, he heard Li Shimin ask: "What news do you have to report to Wei Shuyu overnight?"

The bad man said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is Xue Wanche who has returned. He has already entered the city at night, and there are about a thousand soldiers who came back with Xue Wanche. Now Xue Wanche has arrived outside the gate of Wei's house, begging to see Marshal Wei."

The moment Li Shimin heard it, he immediately became angry.

Brother Xue Wanche delayed Datang.

It's just that after reading the news reported by Wei Shuyu earlier, Li Shimin also knew that this battle was defeated. Although there was a command error, in fact

, no wonder brothers Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun.

Xia Guo's warships are too strong.

Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart, and ordered: "Go and inform Xue Wanche, let him come to the palace."

Bad people should turn around and notify.

Wei Shuyu looked up at Li Shimin, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have an idea."

Li Shimin said: "Say!"

Wei Shuyu said: "Xue Wanche led the army back. He was the defeated army and retreated. He was the general of the defeated army. Although Xue Wanche was not the commander in this battle, he still had to bear certain responsibilities. Therefore, Xue Wanche must blame himself in his heart."

"Since that's the case, why not let him atone for his crime?"

"In this way, Xue Wanche may make up for his mistakes and complete the task with due diligence. Because right now, he has to arrange a way out. Whoever arranges to go there may have thoughts in his heart, thinking that he will be reduced to an abandoned child. But Xue Wanche led The army was defeated and fled back, so it stands to reason that His Majesty wants to deal with him."

"According to the situation of defeat in this battle, even killing Xue Wanche is not an exaggeration. But right now, His Majesty is giving Xue Wanche a chance to make up for his mistakes, and give him a chance to make up for his crimes and make meritorious deeds."

Wei Shuyu said: "I think that Xue Wanche must go all out to lead the troops to stop the attack."

Li Shimin thought about it after hearing it, and thought Wei Shuyu's suggestion was good.

There is a certain degree of maneuverability.

Fang Xuanling took over and said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Wei Shuyu's suggestion. It is a good suggestion to arrange for Xue Wanche to lead the army. And indeed, Xue Wanche is the best candidate. He will definitely go all out to lead the army."

Wei Zheng said, "I also agree."

Li Shimin saw that everyone had reached a unified opinion, especially he himself agreed, so before Xue Wanche arrived, he nodded and said: "That's it, it's settled."

Wei Shuyu said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

As soon as Li Shimin changed the subject, he and Wei Shuyu, Fang Xuanling,

Wei Zheng discussed together the arrangements for evacuation and various matters to be dealt with.But the waiting time was not long, Xue Wanche had already entered, Xue Wanche had changed his clothes now, but his eyes were bloodshot.

During the battle on the river that day, Xue Wanche went ashore from the river, and then ran all the way back.Xue Wanche was also gathering soldiers along the way, so when he returned to Chang'an, more than a thousand soldiers gathered around Xue Wanche.

There are still many soldiers who have not returned yet.

Xue Wanche couldn't control it.

Xue Wanche entered the main hall, knelt on the ground like a jade pillar pushed down from a golden mountain, knelt on the ground with his head, and said in a sobbing voice: "Sinner Xue Wanche, I pay my respects to Your Majesty. I have committed Your Majesty's entrustment. Please forgive me."

His expression was extremely bleak.

Because when they went, there were hundreds of thousands of people.

When they came back, there were more than a thousand people.

This battle lost too many troops and caused too many losses.Especially in this battle, even his elder brother Xue Wanjun was lost in this battle.

Li Shimin stared at Xue Wanche who was kneeling on the ground, and said coldly:

"The battle on the river, I have already read the battle report submitted by the bad guys. This battle was really useless, and it even ruined my little army left in the Tang Dynasty."

Xue Wanche choked up and said, "I'm guilty."

Li Shimin said: "You are indeed worthy of death. In normal times, if you act like this, you should be executed directly. Now it is a time for employing people, so I didn't kill you directly."

Xue Wanche was still kneeling on the ground.

Looked very sad.

Xue Wanjun and Xu Jingzong are dead, once everything is settled, there is no need to worry about anything.People who are alive, although they survived, but those who survived have to bear countless pressures, and they have to bear everything, Xue Wanche is like this.

In fact, it is not easy.

Li Shimin said: "Xue Wanche, are you afraid of death?"

Xue Wanche said: "I am not afraid of death."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "In this case, I will give you a chance. Right now, the army led by Du Qi is advancing along the river, heading for Jiangdu. Tomorrow

Ri Duqi's army is very likely to land in Jiangdu from the wharf and ferry.I will give you a chance. I will give you [-] soldiers and horses to stop Du Qi at the pier and ferry, and prevent Xia Guo's army from landing. "

Xue Wanche said: "I take orders!"

Li Shimin just nodded, looked at Wei Shuyu again, motioned for Wei Shuyu to speak, and asked Wei Shuyu to tell Xue Wanche the next plan. After Xue Wanche had listened, he knocked his head on the ground again and solemnly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the plan." Task."
