The next step is to face Qu Tutong, who is guarding in Hedong County. This Qu Tutong is by no means a dry meal like Song Laosheng, he is an out-and-out ruthless character. At that time, there was a folk song in Daxing: "It is better to eat three buckets of green onions than to meet Qu Tutong." ”

Li Yuan's army besieged the city, Qu Tutong was not in a hurry, and the infant city was firmly defended, and Li Yuan was repelled by him several times in attack of the city, and returned in vain. And Hedong is an important town, the city is strong and has enough food, if it drags on like this, the rebel army will fall into it and be stuck.

In order to gnaw this hard bone, Li Yuan convened a military meeting again. Liu Wenjing's proposal to bypass Hedong and take Daxing directly was opposed by Jiancheng.

Jiancheng said: "Qu Tutong has a heavy army, if he can bypass him today, how can he bypass him tomorrow?" In case we can't take Daxing for a while, and Qu Tutong attacks us from behind, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous to suffer from the enemy on the back of the belly? It is better to capture Hedong first, and then advance west. Hedong is the gateway to Daxing, once Qu Tutong is defeated, Daxing is just around the corner. ”

Shimin's thoughts were contrary to that of his eldest brother, and he stood up and retorted, "No. The soldiers are fast, and we have won successive battles along the way, and we should take this morale to win Daxing in one fell swoop. The defenders of Daxing must not have imagined that we would bypass Qu Tutong, and we must have been unprepared for this dangerous move. Staying here can only delay the fighter in vain, Qu Tutong can't take it for a while, Daxing has to prepare again, and then the righteous army will be in a dilemma. ”

"I think the second son's words are very risky." Pei Lin said, "Daxing is the capital, where is it so easy to take." If we can't take Daxing, Qu Tutong will cut off our way back again, where should the righteous army go then? ”

Shimin thought to himself why Pei Lin always thought about what to do if he failed without fighting, and said: "Father, my righteous army is determined to succeed this time, and there is no intention to retreat after occupying Daxing, how can Qu Tutong cut off our way back?" ”

Pei Lin was so choked that he couldn't say a word, and he was angry with the people.

Liu Wenjing stood up, "I still insist on hitting Daxing first." Tang Gong, now there is no owner in Guanzhong, he should plan it as soon as possible, if he is preempted by others, he will regret it. ”

Li Yuan understood what Liu Wenjing meant, there was still a Xue Ju in Longxi, if he restrained Qu Tutong here, and Xue Ju took the opportunity to enter Daxing first, it would be to make wedding clothes for others. But he was cautious by nature, and he felt that Jiancheng and Pei Lian's idea was not unreasonable. Left is not, right is not, just hesitating, suddenly saw Shimin, remembered that there was a Yang Zixuan in his account who could pinch and calculate, and his heart lit up, "Shimin, go and invite Miss Zixuan to come over." ”

"Yes." The people of the world were commanded to go out of the great tent.

"Yang Zixuan, do you understand what I said?" Shimin was telling her about the opinions of the two factions all the way, and Li Yuan asked her to go, which might make her count the hexagrams.

"Understood." Zixuan said.

Shimin asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zixuan smiled at him, revealing two sweet dimples, "I know what to say." ”

Shimin rest assured, he never believed that Yang Zixuan would be a hexagram, but this girl does have extraordinary abilities, and this time it seems that Zixuan and his views are the same.

Entering the big tent, Zixuan saluted Li Yuan and the others. Li Yuan explained his intentions and asked her to count a hexagram to see which route was correct.

"Please give me a stick of incense." Zi Xuan pretended to be mysterious.

The incense was lit, and Zixuan sat quietly in front of the incense and closed his eyes. The people had never seen such a fortune teller, and they were very curious.

The incense burned out, Zixuan finished pretending to be a ghost, opened his eyes, stood up, and said to Li Yuan: "My lord, since there are two opinions that confuse adults and they can't make up their minds, this can only mean one thing. ”

"What's the matter?" Li Yuan asked. Everyone also showed expectant eyes.

Zixuan smiled so that his eyes were crooked like a crescent moon and said, "Both opinions are good ideas. ”

The crowd was disdainful and began to whisper, what kind of hexagram is this?

Shimin is even more annoyed, what is this girl talking about?

Li Yuan asked puzzledly: "What does the girl mean......"

Zi Xuan Chengzhu was in his chest, "My lord, the eldest prince thinks that he should go to Qu Tutong first, so let the eldest prince go to Qu Tutong; The second prince thought that he should attack Daxing first, so he let him attack Daxing. ”

Li Yuan said: "You mean to divide the troops into two ways. ”

"Exactly." Zixuan smiled brightly.

"But the rebel army is only 30,000, and if they are separated again, it may not be too smooth for both roads." Li Yuan was a little worried.

Zixuan said: "My lord, as long as you give the second son five thousand elite soldiers." ”

"What? 5,000 elite soldiers? How can 5,000 people fight the Great Prosperity? "The crowd was like a frying pan.

Li Yuan also asked anxiously: "Five thousand? How do you tell Shimin to take Daxing? ”

Zixuan said: "Don't worry, the second son, Jiren, has his own natural appearance, and someone will definitely come to help him." And Zixuan is in the second son's tent, will Zixuan not even want his own life? ”

After speaking, Zixuan looked at everyone with a smile, and then looked at Li Yuan, "The people's daughter retired." ”

Zixuan came out of Li Yuan's big tent, and Li Yuan pondered for a long time before he opened his mouth: "The old man has been cautious all his life, and this time he decided to take a risk, so he will do what Miss Zixuan said." Shimin, as a father, I will give you 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Daxing, but you must not rush forward, start from the periphery of Daxing, and surround Daxing step by step. The others stayed here to continue to fight Tutong, under the command of Jiancheng. ”

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Shimin thought as he walked towards his big tent, his father said that he was taking a risk, but in fact, it was not an adventure for his father. Even if he failed, his father only lost 5,000 people, and most of the men were still here, and he could also get a glimpse of the reality of Daxing. It's yourself who really takes the risk, and 5,000 people fight Daxing? It's tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. It's also a loss to Yang Zixuan to figure it out? However, if you win this battle, your ability will be confirmed.

Just thinking that he had already arrived at his big tent, a soldier had already opened the tent curtain for him, and Shimin walked in and saw Zixuan making tea.

"The second son is back." Zixuan smiled sweetly at him, but Shimin felt that there were four words hidden in that smile, "schadenfreude".

Shimin said lazily: "I think you didn't want me to come back, so you came up with that idea." Father did exactly what you said, are you happy this time? ”

Zixuan poured him a cup of tea, "Look at what the second son said, do you mean that I will let my sister be widowed?" Or only take 5,000 people to fight Daxing, the second son is afraid? ”

Shimin took the tea and snorted coldly, "I, Li Shimin, have never been afraid of anyone in my life, but now I am afraid that your sister-in-law is very afraid, if you calculate me, I am afraid that I will die without a place to be buried." ”

Zixuan knew that he had made up his mind to fight this battle, "I won't calculate you, I will only help you calculate." How many scholars and talents are there in the land of Sanqin, and the second son enters the customs first, and those people will inevitably take refuge in the second prince first. ”

Zixuan thought to himself, I'm recruiting talents for your future Qin Wangfu team, and you still don't appreciate it!

Of course, Shimin would not have expected the changes in Xuanwumen nine years later at this time, but it was his life's favorite to make friends with heroes and talents, and he felt more and more that Yang Zixuan's woman was really not simple, "Sounds good, but I have to have the life to meet those talents, you said that someone will come to help me, who is it?" ”

Zixuan smiled slyly, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed, you will know when the time comes." ”

Shimin feigned anger, pulled her over, close to her face, looked at her with a pair of eagle eyes, and said fiercely: "If I die, I want you to be buried with me!" ”

Although he was ruthless, this posture was still too **, Zixuan could even smell the breath of a mature man on his body, and he didn't feel that Xia Sheng was dizzy, "Give you a funeral?" How can I be qualified? ”

After Zixuan finished speaking, he pushed him away and ran out of the tent. Accompanying the burial of Zhaoling, that is the highest honor given by Tang Taizong to the concubines, children, and important ministers. Who is I, Yang Zixuan? How is it possible to accompany the burial of Zhaoling?

I knew that he was just a joke, but I was so sad. Maybe this is the sadness of having a crush on someone, but knowing that it is impossible to be with him. Zixuan's eyes were sour, and Xu was blinded......

On the second day, Shimin led 5,000 men and horses to Daxing, and began the journey to fight independently from his father and eldest brother. Shimin's sword pointed directly at Weibei, and along the way, many small groups of anti-Sui forces were recruited, and the number of men and horses in his hands soon exceeded 10,000. It didn't take long to connect Jingyang, Yunyang, Wugong, and Xukuo counties, and soon formed a shape that was outflanked by Daxing from the north.

At the same time, as Zixuan said, there was an endless stream of people who came to vote for Li Shimin, including small officials of the Sui Dynasty, ordinary people, and some small-scale anti-Sui forces.

The people who came to see Li Shimin every day lined up from the big tent to the gate of the barracks, and the scene was very spectacular.

In the evening of this day, the people of the world, who had been receiving the visitor for a day, said to Zixuan tiredly, "Is there anything else? ”

"Yes, do you want to see you?"

"See, call the next one in."

The curtain was lifted, and I saw that the person who came in was tall and chic, with a pointed eagle hooked nose, the tip of the nose was about to touch the upper lip, and a pair of cold star-like eyes, exuding a certain mysterious and high-profile special temperament.

Zixuan felt that somewhere he was familiar.

Shimin stood up overjoyed, "Brother Wuji! ”

"Shimin!" The man called him out with joy.

Shimin happily walked down and grabbed the shoulders of the visitors, "You're here, why are you still queuing up with them?" Then he turned around and instructed Li Jin, "Li Jin, go and tell the people outside that everyone is scattered, if you want to see me, come back tomorrow." ”

Only then did Zixuan know how to meet each other, and the eldest grandson Wuji was naturally somewhat similar to his younger sister the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin has known his eldest grandson Wuji since he was a child, and married his sister, and the relationship between the two is so close that they can't be close anymore. Thinking that the two of them must have a lot to say, Zixuan also retired.

Outside the tent, a breeze blew. The setting sun stained the sky blood-red, and the sun was slowly falling, and it had to fall, and only when it left the sky could it make room for the moon. Just like Zixuan, when the elder brother of the wife's wife comes, she has to get out of the big tent.
