Initially, when Li Shimin captured Dou Jiande and brought it to Chang'an, Li Yuan had no intention of killing him, after all, although he defeated the Xia army at the Tiger Prison Pass and captured the Xia king Dou Jiande, however, the whole territory of Hebei was not under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army was a rout for the Xia army, so the Xia army that fled back to Hebei still had the strength to fight.

What Li Yuan didn't expect was that because of Li Shimin's great might in the tiger prison, he deeply crushed the original arrogant hearts of these Xia army soldiers, and people's hearts were actually so strange, when the original arrogant mentality was woken up by others, they often immediately slid to the other extreme, so these discouraged Xia army generals actually produced a kind of Li Shimin's invincible mentality, so these generals fled back to Hebei. did not think of supporting Dou Jiande's son as the king to continue to divide Hebei, but consulted with the ministers of the Sui Dynasty who were originally captured by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty because of Dou Jiande's defeat of Yu Wenhua, and wanted to persuade Dou Jiande's wife Empress Cao to surrender to the Tang army. These generals and the ministers of the former Sui Dynasty surrounded Empress Cao and the sons of Dou Jiande and Empress Cao, and marched to Chang'an with a surrender table to the Tang Dynasty......

Li Yuan, who learned the news, was overjoyed, he originally thought that he would have to go through several fierce battles to get Hebei, but he actually got it so easily, so he rewarded the generals of the Xia army and the ministers of the previous dynasty who took refuge, and then he found out. Dou Jiande, who originally thought it was a bargaining chip, was useless at this time! For this useless waste, Li Yuan naturally didn't think much about it, waved his hand, cut it, and abandoned the city! It is also said that the thieves who are still separating the world will see the fate of those who dare to resist the army of our Celestial Empire! As for Dou Jiande's wife and son, the son naturally can't stay. However, God has the virtue of a good life, so he can still save Dou Jiande's wife and send it to the teaching workshop, Li Yuan thought "generously".

So, Dou Jiande died like this, and Queen Cao was unwilling to be an only child after learning of Dou Jiande's death, so she committed suicide. And their former generals, now, stepped on the bones of their husband and wife and received the high-ranking officials from the Tang Dynasty. However, the matter did not end here, it was another beginning, almost at the same time that Dou Jiande was killed, the land of Hebei, the beacon smoke was lit again.

Initially. With the consent of Empress Cao, Dou Jiande's generals operated with full force. Before disbanding the army, all the wealth in the treasury was distributed to the soldiers in the army, so when the Xia army was disbanded, the Xia army returned home, whether it was a general or a soldier, had a lot of savings in their hands, so when the officials sent by the Tang Dynasty to manage Hebei arrived. For the wealth in the hands of these generals, they are very jealous.

In the depths of his heart, the officials sent by the Tang Dynasty to manage Hebei were very contemptuous of these original Dou Jiande's subordinates, and the reason was also very obvious: Xia Jun. However, they had to surrender after the defeat and loss of the Tang army led by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the reason why they surrendered was naturally because they knew that the Tang army's military might was unstoppable, and in order to save their lives, they had to take this decision.

Don't overestimate the moral bottom line of these Tang Dynasty officials, after all, with Li Yuan's style of employing people like cronyism, there were already many black sheep in his court, and because the fact that Hebei was quickly pacified made Li Yuan overjoyed, therefore, Li Yuan did not send special personnel to pacify him according to the usual occupation of the city, so he planted the bane of the war in Hebei.

These new officials of the Tang Dynasty repeatedly blackmailed those generals who originally belonged to the Xia army, and those who did not obey their wishes were immediately arrested by them in the name of thieves and thrown into prison, but in the same way, he did not want to turn his back on Dou Jiande and show goodwill to the Tang Dynasty, so he simply returned to his hometown with the property after disbanding the army, wanting to live a peaceful pastoral life, however, under the blackmail of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, they also had to leave their hometown again and flee in all directions.

Gao Yaxian, Wang Xiaohu, these generals under Dou Jiande, were all heroes and heroes who once held heavy troops and dominated the world, but now they are fleeing everywhere because of the blackmail of small officials, so how can these people swallow this breath in their hearts, so, led by them, the soldiers of the Xia army gathered around them and began the struggle against the Tang Dynasty. At first, they were still fighting on their own, and the scale was only equivalent to the thieves in the countryside, but soon, with the addition of a former Xia army general named Liu Heimin, and after gathering these Xia army soldiers who fought separately, the strength of this army that resisted the rule of the Tang Dynasty immediately expanded rapidly, and soon broke the state cities of the Tang Dynasty one after another, killing Dai Yuanxiang and others, the authority of the Tang Dynasty's guards, and severely shaking the Tang Dynasty's rule in Hebei.

Who is Liu Heimin? He is Dou Jiande's hometown, when he was a teenager, he had been funded by Dou Jiande, and later took refuge in the Wagang Army, and served as a general in Li Mi's army, after Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, most of the Wagang Army was absorbed by Wang Shichong, and Liu Heimin and Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin and others, also became Wang Shichong's generals at that time, serving as a cavalry general, however, like Qin Qiong and others, Liu Heimin was also extremely dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's actions, so after Qin Qiong and others fled west to join the Tang Dynasty, Liu Heimin also fled, however, He did not go all the way with Qin Qiong and others, but returned to his hometown to join the Xia army of his good buddy Dou Jiande. Then, because of his bravery, he was famous for his "divine bravery" in the Xia army.

At this time, the Xia army was under the leadership of this fierce general who was famous for his bravery, and quickly recovered Hebei, which originally belonged to Dou Jiande, and in his army, all of them were Dou Jiande's generals in the past, until this time, Li Yuan woke up like a dream, however, it was too late, due to the previous underestimation of the enemy's strength, he sent Li Shentong, the king of Huainan, and because Hebei is too far away from Guanzhong, a lot of information transmission takes more time, and when Li Yuan finally got the news of Li Shentong's defeat, he already understood in his heart that the Tang Dynasty's rule in Dou Jiande, Hebei, was like a flash in the pan, and after a short period of gain, it was lost again.

Sure enough, not long after, due to the defeat of Li Shentong's army, the military strength of the Tang Dynasty in Hebei was emptied, and Liu Heimin lightly restored all the chassis and forces that originally belonged to Dou Jiande, and when Li Yuan got the news that Liu Heimin and others sacrificed to Dou Jiande from Hebei, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty finally felt extremely regretful for his rash decision.

Fortunately, at this time, the imperial court still had an ultimate killing weapon not used, and Li Yuan decided to appoint Li Shimin as the marshal, and once again led the troops to the expedition, swept away Liu Heimin for the Tang Dynasty, and once again put the land of Hebei under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, it was the end of the fourth year of Wude, and the New Year was close at hand, in the Qin Palace, Shi Qingyi was seeing off Li Shimin, at this time Li Shimin was dressed in military uniform, and he looked radiant, but his face was full of guilt: "I'm sorry, I thought I could spend this New Year with you and the children in the Qin Palace, but I didn't expect that Hebei would be in chaos, and finally become like this!" Li Shimin said apologetically.

Shi Qingyi's face was a gentle expression: "Don't say such things, because it's not your fault!" And I don't think there's anything wrong with that! Because of the life of a person, I have long been used to it! She said: "When you get to Hebei, you have to protect yourself, Liu Heimin is the first fierce general under Dou Jiande, be careful!" "Well, I will!" Li Shimin said: "You too, don't worry about me, with Wei Chi Jingde, no one will be able to hurt me, in Chang'an, you have to take good care of yourself, as well as our children!" ”

Li Shimin's face showed a gentle expression, his eyes looked at Shi Qingyi, and then moved to the baby in the hand of the maid on the side, his son, and then, came to Shi Qingyi's body - after the birth of the first child, Shi Qingyi was pregnant again at this time. "When Cheng Qian was born, I didn't come in time, but this time, I promise you that I will definitely come back when this child is born!" He said.

Li Shimin left, and then Shi Qingyi stood at the door, watching him gradually move away. Isn't Liu Heimin an opponent that can be dealt with lightly? Shi Qingyi said in her heart, but then, a smile opened at the corner of her mouth, fortunately, she was in Hebei at will, but she didn't expect it to come in handy at this time, in this way, Li Shimin's wish to rush back to Chang'an before the child is born, should be able to get his wish!
