Li Shimin had two swords and one sword. The sword was the Ding Tang sword. At first, this sword used a weapon for Li Yuan. After Li Yuan gave up his throne, he passed the sword to Li Shimin. Li Shimin often wore this sword on his body. This sword was made of fine steel, with a thick back and a thin blade, which was calm and steady. Those who wore this sword could exude the aura of an emperor.

Xue Wanche, a powerful general under Li Shimin, took Princess Danyang. Because Xue Wan was dull, Princess Danyang ignored him for a long time. Li Shimin summoned all the princes to drink. During the meal, "he held a spear and gambling sword. Yang was not defeated, so he gave it away. The princess was happy and ordered to take it back together."

Li Shimin deliberately lost the sword to Xue Wanche, and the sword was in the hands of Xue Wanche. Perhaps after Xue Wanche took the sword, he felt that he had the aura of an emperor and was arrogant in the army. Later, he participated in the rebellion and was killed by Li Zhi.

After Xue Wanche died, the knife was taken back and was no longer given to the ministers, because this knife would make people exude the aura of an emperor. Except for the emperor, it is not a good thing for others to exude this kind of aura.

There were two more swords, one of the most famous swords was the Longquan Sword. According to legend, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang cast this sword, digging the mountain, releasing the stream water in the mountains, and leading it to the seven pools next to the sword-casting furnace that formed a seven-star ring of the Big Dipper. It is called "Seven Stars".

After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body is like climbing a mountain and looking down at the abyss, floating and deep, as if there is a giant dragon lying on the plate. It is called "Dragon Abyss". Therefore, it is called "Seven Stars Dragon Abyss", which is abbreviated as "Dragon Abyss Sword".

During the Tang Dynasty, because he avoided the taboo of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan, he changed the word "Yuan" to "quan", which was called "Seven Stars Longquan", which was abbreviated as "Longquan Sword".

Later, this sword was passed on to Li Shimin. After Li Shimin got this sword, he also loved it very much. He did not want to be a heirloom treasure, so he directly used it as his own funeral object.

The last sword is also the current Li Shimin's sword. This sword is called Chihu and Chihu Sword. In ancient times, swords decorated with Chihu pattern were used, and this kind of sword was found from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qing Dynasty.

Li Shimin's Chihu Sword is a imitated Tang-style sword, more than one meter long, extremely sharp, and can break armor. Chi is a Chilong, one of the nine sons of the dragon. Chihu Sword has the power of a dragon and tiger. Li Shimin took it to fight south and north, and in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he finally became the emperor.

Today, Li Shimin gave his Chihu Sword to Li You.

Li You took the Chihu Sword with both hands, Li Shimin patted Li You on the shoulder and said, "You used to be the son I was the most disappointed. I wonder how many times did your mother cry at night.

Maybe God has mercy on your mother, but a few months ago you turned around.

To be honest, at first I didn’t believe you, and I thought you were pretending, and even sent someone to monitor you to see when you could pretend. Today, my father is here to admit his mistake to you.

You'er, you are really a prodigal son. You must be careful when you go to Hong County this time. After entering Hong County, you must defend yourself immediately and give me three days. No... two days, my army will definitely arrive. I won't allow you to die. I will see you who are alive... Remember, You'er, this is my order, you must not resist the order...!"

"My son... I will receive the order to thank you..." Li You bowed, then hung the Chihu Sword directly on his waist and shouted: "Your Majesty has the order. The Hu Ben Group will rush to Hong County to help me. I will win in the first battle...!"

As he said that, Li You walked out of the Ganlu Palace with big strides.

"Fifth Brother..." Li Zhi's eyes turned red, but Li Tai showed a disdainful expression. Li Chengqian sighed silently.

Li Shimin closed his eyes slightly.

....................................................

Li You hung a Chihu Sword on his waist and rode his horse directly on Tai Chi Palace. No one dared to stop him when he saw him. The palace gate that originally took a quarter of an hour to leave, Li You came out in less than half a stick of incense.

"Your Highness..." Outside the palace gate at this time, Xue Rengui, Luo Jin and Su Dingfang were already waiting. Seeing Li You coming out quickly, the three of them hurriedly rode their horses to come up.

Seeing his three generals, Li You looked at the sky that was almost dim and said, "Your Majesty has an order to ask my Tiger Ben to rush to Hong County. The three generals passed on my Jun Order. The Third Battalion completes the team and immediately go to the Hanshui Ferry...!"

"promise...!"

After Li You received the order, he did not even enter Dunhuafang and left Chang'an City and headed to the Hanshui Ferry about fifty miles away.

At this time, the transportation capacity of Dunhuafang was reflected. The Tiger Ben Group of 1,000 people dispatched a total of 30 four-wheeled carriages, and all kinds of materials were transported to the carriages. This time, Li You directly took out all the old foundations of Dunhuafang.

Not only did he bring a hundred big yellow crossbows that had just been assembled, but he also brought all the 200 divine arm bows, such as the Infantry Armor, the Cavalry Knife... Li You this time it was 1,000 to 30,000, so he had to arm himself to his teeth.

This time, Li You did not take the land route. If he took the land route, he could reach Hongxian overnight, but he would be in trouble and he would not be able to start fighting immediately even if he arrived in Hongxian.

This is also the reason why the Tang army could not rescue. After watching Li You leave, Li Shimin sighed silently. At this time, Li Zhi burst into tears and asked, "Father, will the fifth brother be fine..."

However, Li Shimin did not answer this question at this time, because Li Shimin was not optimistic about Li You's rescue this time.

Instead, Li Tai said slightly, "Although the fifth brother has only one thousand people, he will definitely be trapped when he arrives. Whether such a thousand people still have combat effectiveness is just a matter of two. I hope that the fifth brother's Tiger Group will be stronger and can last until our army arrives."

"Your Majesty... Otherwise, Mo General will also take one hundred people to Hong County. No matter what, Mo General will definitely bring His Highness the King of Qi back." Li Junxian suddenly bowed.

"No need...I believe Li You, he will definitely not let me down. At this time, I feel that he looks very much like me. Do you guys still remember the battle in Tiger Prison..."

The Battle of Hulao, Li Shimin's pinnacle work, defeated a 100,000 army in just over 3,000 people.

"At that time, no one was optimistic about me, and everyone thought I was going to die, but I won... Li You is my child, and he will definitely win, and he also brought my Chihu Sword. This time it must be the time for You'er to take off."

The Hulao War is really a classic battle to fight aid... Dou Jiande mobilized more than 100,000 people, then met with Wang Shichong's younger brother, and entered Hulao Pass. He also compiled a book to Li Shimin, asking the Tang army to retreat to Tongguan, return the land of Zheng State, and restore the original territory and relations. Li Shimin's subordinates suggested avoiding the edge, and then waiting for an opportunity to attack Dou Jiande, and solving Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong in one fell swoop. This suggestion was affirmed by Li Shimin, and he began to plan the Hulao Battle.

At that time, everyone called Li Shimin a madman because this battle was a battle for death.

But Li Shimin didn't care at all. Li Shimin integrated the troops and personally led 3,500 elite troops (Xuanjia Army) to Hulao Pass to fight Dou Jiande, and the rest stayed to surround Luoyang.

On the 25th, as soon as Li Shimin arrived at Huzhu, he led an elite cavalry to the east of the city to spy on the enemy situation and check the battlefield.

Dou Jiande's army thought it was the scout of the Tang army, so they didn't care. However, Li Shimin directly shouted that I was the King of Qin, which attracted Dou Jiande directly. Dou Jiande hurriedly led the cavalry to encircle Li Shimin.

It’s a pity that Dou Jiande’s troops were not as good as the Tang army, so Li Shimin led his troops to break out. The unfavorable initial battle resulted in the morale of Dou Jiande’s army, while Li Shimin roughly grasped important military intelligence such as geographical terrain and enemy troops deployment.

Later, Dou Jiande's army was directly beaten and was afraid to come out. Some people must be surprised. They dare not come out for the 100,000 to 3,500 people. Then I want to tell you about the status of Li Shimin and the 3,500 people.

Among the 3,500 people of Li Shimin, there were more than 1,000 famous Xuanjia Army. This was a special force carefully built by Li Zicheng. "More than a thousand elite cavalry were all wearing Xuanjia, divided into left and right teams, and Qin Shubao, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, and Zhai Changsun were all generals. Every battle, Shimin was personally slapped by Xuanjia Commander as the vanguard, and he took the opportunity to attack, and his all directions were destroyed."

Secondly, although Li Shimin has the Xuanjia Army in his hands, the initiative on the battlefield is firmly in the hands of Dou Jiande. Dou Jiande does not seem to be in a hurry to launch an attack. He confronted Li Shimin's troops at Hulao Pass, but in fact he wanted to reap the benefits of the fisherman. He planned to kill two families in one fell swoop after Li Shimin and Wang Shichong were both injured.

It is not surprising that Dou Jiande had this idea. However, Li Shimin would not cooperate obediently. Li Shimin saw through Dou Jiande's small abacus, took the plan, and led his troops north to cross the Yellow River, leaving more than 1,000 war horses by the Yellow River.

These more than 1,000 war horses, now, are more than 1,000 tanks. It is conceivable how tempting this is for Dou Jiande. Sure enough, not long after, Dou Jiande came out to grab the war horses.

The wonder of Li Shimin is that although he tried every means to lure Dou Jiande to fight, when he really came, he could not defend himself, so as to consume the morale of the enemy. At noon, the morale of the enemy was extremely low and hungry and exhausted, Li Shimin suddenly led a large army to attack Dou Jiande's camp.

Dou Jiande's 100,000 army was beaten to pieces and was defeated. Dou Jiande himself became Li Shimin's prisoner.

Afterwards, Li Shimin struck while the iron was hot and led his troops to capture Luoyang and captured Wang Shichong.

In this battle, Li Shimin wrote a classic example of winning with fewer victory, and destroyed the two countries in one battle, which fully demonstrated his extremely high military command skills.

More importantly, this battle made all the ridicule and insults in the Tang court disappear, and Li Shimin officially became the general in everyone's hearts. In the future, Li Shimin's status will no longer be shaken.

The ministers looked at Li Shimin. Seeing that Li Shimin believed Li You so much, everyone began to believe it silently. At this time, Changsun Wuji suddenly shouted: "What are you waiting for? Since You'er can definitely defend Hong County, we must send troops as soon as possible...!"

"Haha..." Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Wuji still knows the key... Come and issue an order to me..."
