On both sides of the water, between the buildings near the Tianjin Bridge at this time, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are paying attention to this battle, they are all kinds of people belonging to various forces, they have already received the news, so they have already arrived, and they are watching the progress of the whole thing from the shadows.

In one of the buildings, Shi Qingyi and Li Shimin were sitting by the window, taking in the battle they had just seen. When the figure of Wan Wan disappeared in a dashing manner, the battle was over, looking at the white figure that was gradually disappearing, Shi Qingyi suddenly spoke out and sighed in a low voice: "What a fierce battle!" At this time, Li Shimin, who was sitting opposite her, was also immersed in the battle just now, and was shocked by Shi Qingyi's voice, and he came back to his senses!

"Surprised!" Shi Qingyi smiled slightly at Li Shimin: "The fighting in the rivers and lakes is different from the battlefield duel of thousands of troops, but the fierce decisive place is especially victorious, this feeling is that you are in the field all the year round, but it is difficult to see." Li Shimin listened to Shi Qingyi's words, but what he thought in his heart was not quite the same as Shi Qingyi.

In this battle, in addition to seeing the uncommon battle of top masters in the rivers and lakes, he also thought of the habits of the people in the rivers and lakes at a deeper level than the military, compared to the army, they are more inclined to act alone, and their actions are more concealed and sudden. Just a few years ago, a generation of fierce generals Zhang Xutuo was ambushed by Li Mi, and his troops were defeated, and just as he was bravely rushing to kill, he was attacked by a shadow assassin from behind, and thus died in battle. The army was also completely annihilated, that is, from that time on, the edifice of the Great Sui would collapse. And Li Mi's prestige can no longer be contained. If Zhang Xutuo didn't die, even if he lost for a while, he would still be the famous Optimus Pillar of the Sui Dynasty, and Li Mi couldn't help him. In Li Shimin's heart, he once again determined the importance of the people in the rivers and lakes and the martial arts masters that cannot be ignored.

"There are a lot of talented people in the rivers and lakes, and they must not be taken lightly!" Li Shimin said: "It's a pity that Xu and Kou were originally my like-minded brothers, but now they are going to stand on the opposite side of me. In the future, brothers will meet each other, eh, why do all people value this world so much. And not think about the people of this world? Li Shimin's voice was sincere, and it was completely the expression of his true feelings in his heart, in fact, he was just a hot-blooded young man in his early twenties at this time. The so-called power and wealth are not half attractive to him at this time. On the contrary, it is a firm ideal in the heart. It was his firm way forward, but it was precisely because of his youth that he could not understand the feelings of those who were destined to be opposed to him. The complaint to Shi Qingyi is actually an act of venting in his heart.

"Are you hesitating?" Shi Qingyi asked in a low voice with a smile, Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No, never!" "Although confused, but for their own beliefs. He has never wavered, at least so far. Shi Qingyi smiled again. After receiving Shi Qingyi's warm smile, Li Shimin's heart became a lot warmer after venting. After a moment of silence, Li Shimin said: "He's Bi is gone, according to the plan, I am about to leave Dongdu and return to Guanzhong no matter what." He looked at Shi Qingyi, "Will you go back with me?" ”

Shi Qingyi let out an "oh", and took Li Shimin's gaze calmly, opposite to that gaze, Li Shimin's heart was a little uneasy, but when he looked at that gaze, he suddenly calmed down, just staring at Shi Qingyi. Then, Shi Qingyi smiled: "Of course you can!" But there are still many places that I haven't been to yet, what should I do? Li Shimin also smiled when he heard this: "As long as you want, you can go anywhere." ”

"Luoyang, how long can you stay?" Shi Qingyi asked. "There is no specific deadline, but it can't be too long, after all, the matter of Heshibi is over, and everything should be planned early." Shi Qingyi nodded: "That's true, I still have some things to do, you can go back to Guanzhong first, and I'll come later." "No need! It's been a long time since you've been in front of your father, and this time, I'm going to take you back with me. Li Shimin said in a deep voice. Shi Qingyi finally stopped insisting.

Because Xue Ju's attack disrupted the strategic deployment of the Tang army, the strategic deployment of the Tang army in the eastern capital at this time changed from offensive to comprehensive defense, only waiting for the army to eliminate Xue Juhui's division, before it could continue to march to the eastern capital, at this juncture of strategic adjustment, the situation in the eastern capital was about to break out again, not long ago, Li Mi, who had accepted the recruitment of the small imperial court in the eastern capital, led his troops south to block Yu Wenhua and the road to the north, and Yu Wenhua and Yu Liyang decisive battle, Yu Wenhua and defeated, can only gather the remnants of the army and flee north, Li Mi won a tragic victory, The generals also suffered heavy casualties, for this reason, instead gave Wang Shichong in the eastern capital a chance to take advantage of, at this moment Wang Shichong was ready to move, and wanted to take this opportunity to defeat the hostile forces led by the Dugu family in the eastern capital, so as to control the entire eastern capital Luoyang in one fell swoop, and at the same time refuse Li Mi's entry into the city.

Therefore, at this important juncture, although the Tang Dynasty withdrew its troops, the number of spies sent to Luoyang continued unabated, and it was necessary to pay closer attention to the movements of all parties at this moment. At the same time, it will become extremely dangerous for Li Shimin to stay in Luoyang, which is why he must leave as much as possible. And Guanzhong has already sent a suitable candidate, and he is on his way to come at the moment.

That person is Li Xiuning. At the same time, in order to make up for Li Xiuning's lack of martial arts and experience, Li Yuan specially sent his clan brother, Li Shentong, the uncle of Li Shimin's brothers and sisters, to go with him. After Li Shimin returns to Guanzhong, Li Xiuning and Li Shentong will turn from light to darkness and disappear from the sight of the major forces in Luoyang, but at the same time, they will secretly watch any wind and grass in the eastern capital, and once there are any signs of serious incidents, they will immediately step up spying and quickly send the information to the hands of Li Yuan in Chang'an, Guanzhong.

In Guanzhong, after the crown prince returned to Chang'an, he immediately resigned from his military post to deal with internal affairs, and assisted Li Yuan to step up the deployment of the 12th Army plan to coordinate the manpower and material resources of the entire Guanzhong, and the army was continued to drive west to the Western Qin battlefield by Liu Wenjing and other commanders. Before arriving at the battlefield, Xue Ju had already concentrated his forces to attack eastward, firmly besieged Jingzhou, and attacked the camp of Tang general Liu Shirang with superior forces, and captured Liu Shirang's father and son alive. In July, the Tang army arrived, with superior forces and Xue Ju fought in the shallow water plain, was broken by Xue Ju in a battle, the soldiers were killed and wounded five or six out of ten, Liu Wenjing was equivalent to gathering the defeated troops and retreating to Chang'an, Guanzhong was shaken, Liu Wenjing was imprisoned for defeat, and Li Yuan said in prison that only Li Shimin could resist Xue Ju. The crown prince Jiancheng, the imperial prince Xiao Yu and the important minister Feng Deyi also seconded the proposal, so a cavalry team composed of one man and three horses immediately set off from Chang'an, with an urgent secret letter to the eastern capital Luoyang......
