"Your Majesty, there is a sheltered spot on the hillside ahead, where we can take a rest."

Lu Biao rode his horse to Li Shimin and said to him.

After traveling for hundreds of miles, everyone was hungry. Coupled with the heavy downpour just now, everyone looked exhausted.

Li Shimin looked at the state of the army. Finally, he nodded and agreed:"Okay, then let the army go to the front to settle down and repair, and the soldiers can also eat some dry food to satisfy their hunger."

After Lu Biao agreed, he led his troops to that hillside to rest and reorganize, make fires to cook, and dry their clothes.

It is now the end of spring, and if you don't keep warm as soon as possible when you catch a cold, you will easily get wind chill..

And in this era, there is no difference between a soldier in the army contracting cold and death, so even though there is a possibility of being discovered when making a fire, there is no need to worry about it.

"Your Majesty, have something to eat."

Lu Biao brought some dry food and water to Li Shimin and said to him

"No need, I'm not hungry."

Li Shimin glanced at the rough marching rations, sighed and said.

It's not that he can't get used to these foods. He had eaten worse food than this when he led the army, but he really has no appetite now..

Chang'an was broken, and he was chased around like a bereaved dog. How could he be in a good mood?

Not only him, but the morale of the remaining 1,500 Xuanjia troops was also low.

Following Li Shimin meant that they would be better in the future. He would embark on a life of escape, being hunted by the entire Tang Dynasty, with a home he could not return to, parents he could not support, and children he could not recognize. At this time, an unknown soldier softly hummed a song from his hometown, with a sad tune. , full of longing for his hometown.

A soldier listened to this song in a daze, and unknowingly burst into tears. Suddenly, regardless of the persuasion of his comrades around him, he stood up and cried:"I don't want to be a soldier anymore. I want to go home! I don’t want to be a wanted rebel!"

Hearing his words, one of the guards looked ugly and said angrily:"It is our honor to follow your Majesty! How can you be allowed to harm the morale of the army here?"

As he spoke, he was about to draw his sword and kill the soldier.

But a majestic voice stopped him:"That's enough!"

The guard looked over and found that Li Shimin had walked over at some point. He immediately raised his hands and said,"Your Majesty. Li

Shimin waved his hand and said,"Put the knife away. He is a sergeant in the army. Why are you raising the knife to him?""

"But he……"

The guard saw the soldier's troubled expression, but after seeing Li Shimin's face, he still put away the knife obediently.

Li Shimin looked at the soldier and said:"I can think of you, but you have to know one thing. Anyone who follows me will be the most heroic in the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Changqing is the traitor! Now that I have escaped, I will one day rule Chang'an again and kill all the traitors! By then you will all enjoy glory and wealth! Your family, your wives, parents, and children will all be proud of you!"

Li Shimin's voice was impassioned and could be heard clearly by everyone in the army. It must be said that his ability to inspire people is still very strong.

After these words, the morale of the army was lifted a lot, and the hearts of many soldiers were once again burning. Hope arose.

But suddenly a sneer came:"Escape? King of Chang'an Chang'an? I'm afraid you won't have this chance. Su Dingfang is here!"

Li Shimin's eyes looked horrified. He looked up and saw an army appearing on the hillside at some point. It was looking down at them. The general at the head was Su Dingfang!

"Why are there pursuers here!"

Li Shimin was greatly frightened. Without hesitation, he got on his horse and fled westward under the protection of hundreds of Xuanjia troops.

"The false emperor should leave!"

Su Dingfang shouted, leading thousands of riders to charge down from the hillside with unparalleled momentum!

"Your opponent is someone! Lu

Biao roared angrily, got on his horse, and led the Xuanjia Army to fight with Su Dingfang to buy time for Li Shimin to escape. Li

Shimin looked back and glanced at Lu Biao unbearably, but still did not stop and sped up to escape.

And Lu Biao Who could be Su Dingfang's opponent? In less than ten rounds, he was beheaded by Su Dingfang. Many Xuanjia troops were also at the end of their strength and were killed by the dragon cavalry guards who had an absolute advantage in quantity and quality.

"General, shall we pursue him?"

A deputy general asked Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang watched as he ran away, shook his head and said:"No, in that direction...there will naturally be people waiting for him. We can just go there and meet up after we clean the battlefield."

"yes!"

……

……

Li Shimin ran away for a long time, and he didn't stop until the horse under him was so tired that he was foaming at the mouth. However, he was still in shock. He looked behind him and felt relieved after confirming that no pursuers were chasing him.

Now there are only a few hundred Xuanjia troops left by his side, and even Lu Biao has stayed behind. If he is hunted again at this time, he will really be unable to escape.

"Your Majesty, where should we flee?"

A soldier came over and couldn't help but ask.

Although Li Shimin was also panicking, he was the backbone of these hundreds of people, so he forced himself to calm down and said:"There should be no pursuers now. You will first find a village and grab some clothes from ordinary people to change into. This outfit will be easily recognized by others."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the soldier agreed, he left dozens of people to protect Li Shimin, while he took the rest of the people to search for villages and towns nearby.

But not long after they left, Li Shimin heard a burst of killing sounds coming from that direction. , a female general in white robes led an army to kill them, and instantly surrounded them all.

"My life is at an end!"

Li Shimin closed his eyes in despair, feeling unwilling to do so. After running away for so long, he was still caught up. However, the army did not attack them. They just surrounded them and then separated a road. , the white-robed female general came over, looked at him coldly, and sneered:"Li Shimin, you are quite capable of escaping. Tens of thousands of troops have been chasing you for so long. Li

Shimin opened his eyes after hearing this, looked at the white-robed female general in front of him, and said with a wry smile:"Xiu Ning.""_
