Li Yuan, the commander of the Great Sui Northern Expedition, is seriously ill! The morale of the Sui army plummeted, and tens of thousands of troops escorted the prisoners and withdrew to Taiyuan!

The good form is gone.

Back to Taiyuan!

After treatment by good doctors, Li Yuan's condition improved.

On this night, Li Yuan, who was not sick, was in good spirits and discussed important matters with his eldest son Li Jiancheng and second son Li Shimin.

As the rebellion of the nobles of the Western Liang Dynasty, Xiao Milling was of extraordinary significance, and was widely supported by the southern scholars, and Wu Xing Taishou Shen Faxing also raised troops in response, gathering 100,000 troops to occupy the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. From Jiangnan Shen Faxing, Poyang Lin Shihong to Jingxiang Xiao Milling, and then to Huainan Zhu Ji, Jianghuai Du Fuwei, Li Zitong...... The tide of revolt had swept across the south, which meant that the south of the Great Sui Dynasty had collapsed. ”

"The Central Plains Wagang coalition army deterred Luoyang, and there were Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang and Dou Jiande, who was revitalized in Qingzhou."

"In Guanzhong! With the support of his family and Sui officials, Li Liang, a son of the Li family of the famous family of Xiliang, raised troops to occupy Wuwei County and proclaimed himself the king of Daliang in Hexi. ”

"In Hexi Road, there are Jincheng County Haoqiang and Yingyanglang who raised troops to raise troops to rebel, quickly occupied Jincheng County, recruited 100,000 soldiers, proclaimed himself Emperor Qin, and led a large army to advance in the direction of Hehuang."

"Guannei Dao, there are Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe!"

"We have Liu Wuzhou in Hedong!"

Li Yuan happily introduced the truth of the Great Sui to his second son, and finally came to the conclusion: "Except for Bashu and Jizhou, the world of the Great Sui has been divided, and we can't take care of each other!" ”

Li Shimin said happily: "Father, is the time ripe for us to start an incident?" ”

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Originally, it was mature, but the King of Qin in Jizhou lived next to us, which is really a huge variable......"

"Father! Although Yang Tong has achieved dazzling achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, his army must have been disabled! If you don't have a year and a half of rest, you can't recover at all! The child thought that this was the perfect time to start an incident. ”

"And the Sui army, which was loyal to the Sui Dynasty, went around to extinguish the rebel army, and it was already exhausted! In addition to the 20,000 troops in the hands of Wang Wei and Gao Junya in Hedong, there is no decent army, and the attitude of the two is ambiguous now, and they no longer supervise their fathers. ”

"At this time, you can take Hedong in a battle, and then wave your army to the west, and after taking Guanzhong, you can close the four stops, Shi Renzheng, and train elite soldiers! If you take the Guannei Road in the north and connect it with the Hedong Road, you can wave your army to the east and take Jizhou. ”

Li Shimin's eyes were full of hatred, he was humiliated by Yang Dong that day, and finally he was slapped hard in front of everyone, and even lost two front teeth, which made the beautiful Li Shimin's hatred for Yang Tong higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea.

Li Yuan thought for a while and asked Li Jiancheng, "Da Lang, what do you think?" ”

Li Yuan is different from Li Shimin, who is extremely gambling, he has to think about the life of the entire family!

The safety of his family has always been the first place in Li Yuan's heart.

This disposition is not without reason.

Li Yuan was born in a noble family in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and was the youngest fourth in the family, so it is said that the title of Tang Guogong would not be his turn. But luck is really against the sky, because his elder brothers died one by one, and when Li Yuan was seven years old, his father Li Bing also hung up. In the end, he was the only man in the Li family, so Li Yuan, who was still a little child, inherited the title of Duke of Tang.

Since the age of seven, Li Yuan has been surviving in troubled times, bumping and bumping all the way, and after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he was valued by Yang Guang and became an official everywhere.

In addition to Dou and Li Shimin, they have been following him and going to work everywhere. The rest of the sons stayed in their hometown, and some of the children didn't even know what their father looked like, so Li Yuan also felt guilty because of this, so he regarded his relatives as the most important.

And Li Shimin has always been by his parents' side and is deeply favored by his parents, he only sees the opportunity to replace Sui and the benefits of reaching the top, but he can't understand the mind of being a parent at all......

"Father, second brother, I don't think the time is ripe!" Li Jiancheng expressed his reasons: "Although the general trend of the Great Sui has gone, it has not reached the point of falling apart, and it is only the strength of three straws that is left to crush the huge and weak camel of the Great Sui!" Li Mi in the Central Plains is one, Hedongdao's father is one, and the other straw is Jiangnan Xiao Milling. But Jizhou is a great variable, we must be fully prepared, otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"Big brother, you ......" Li Shimin was anxious.

Li Yuan was furious: "Let your eldest brother finish speaking!" ”

"Whoa!" Li Shimin retreated aggrievedly.

At Li Yuan's signal, Li Jiancheng continued: "We plan to use the Turks to restrain Jizhou, but Liu Wenjing is still negotiating conditions with Shibi, and when the result is not negotiated, it is not appropriate to start an incident!" ”

"Erlang, do you understand?" Li Yuan nodded slightly, this was also what he was thinking.

Li Shimin said: "The child understands! ”

Li Jiancheng continued: "Although Wang Wei and Gao Junya have relaxed their supervision of their father, it does not mean that they will follow their father. ”

Li Yuan snorted coldly in extreme pain: "These two bastards actually emptied Hedong, and sooner or later they want to look good." ”

Li Shimin said: "Maybe they are just worried that the materials will be taken away by Liu Wuzhou." ”

Li Jiancheng said: "We are gambling with the lives of the entire family, we can't use words like 'maybe' to judge Wang Wei and Gao Junya, the second brother don't forget, the 20,000 elites in the hands of the two are not decorations." If we believe in the two, the two of them suddenly change, and we regret it. Therefore, these two must not stay! ”

"Big brother is absolutely right! It's the younger brother who is wrong. In this regard, Li Shimin is convinced!

Li Yuan smiled with relief and said in a harmonious voice: "Da Lang is mature and steady, and he is thorough in everything, and he is reasonable. Erlang is both wise and brave, full of ambition, if he changes to competitiveness and gambling, he will be the best choice for my Li family's generalissimo. Your two brothers must cooperate with each other in the future. ”

"Whoa!" The two brothers answered.

Li Yuan asked again, "Da Lang, is there anything else to say?" ”

Li Jiancheng said: "What the child wants to say is the Dugu family, the head of the Dugu Zhen family obviously wants to use our Li family to charge in front, but he is the one who plays chess behind the back, and everyone is happy, if it doesn't work, he Dugu family is worry-free......"

Li Yuan asked, "What do you think we should do?" ”

The child felt that Li Mi was very smart, and he regarded himself as the representative of Guan Long's magnates, and forcibly tied Guan Long to his chariot, so as to gain the respect and service of many people. However, after all, he is just talking in generalities without any basis, so he can't get the support of the children of the real Guanlong magnates! We are completely on the basis of Li Mi, and we have tied the Dugu clan to our side. ”

"Da Lang means marriage?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

Li Jiancheng said: "That's what the child means!" ”

"You mean Xiuning?"

"This ...... Father, you decide. ”

When Li Yuan thought of his maverick baby daughter, his brain ached faintly, and the crazy girl didn't know where to run away in order to escape from marriage.

After thinking about it, he said to Li Shimin: "Erlang, do you blame me for marrying you a poor Guanyin maid?" ”

"No, no! We treated each other with respect and had a good time. Li Shimin was shocked.

"It's okay if you don't admit it!" Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin deeply and said, "I'll give you a task!" ”

"Father, please speak!" Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

"You go to Guanzhong to find Dou Wei, the head of the Dou family, and ask him to take you to meet Dugu Zhen, the head of the Dugu family! If you have the ability to persuade the head of the Dugu family to marry the pearl of the Dugu family to you, then I will admit this family business. ”

"That Guanyin maid ......" Li Shimin's heart is hot, if he becomes the son-in-law of the Dugu family, his status will rise.

"Isn't it the best reason to divorce your wife out of seven, and come out of nothing?"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin, and then said: "The Dugu family wants us to be the weapon to overthrow the Great Sui, but they hide behind their backs and never show real support, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world?" Do you have faith? ”

Li Shimin was overjoyed: "Yes! ”

Li Jiancheng quietly looked at the ecstatic Li Shimin, with a trembling look in his eyes, his younger siblings and eldest grandson are virtuous, virtuous, gentle and virtuous, and in the past four years since marrying the Li family, she has done her best to be a daughter-in-law of the Li family without regrets.

In the Li family, she is even harder than the maidservant, and even his eldest brother and the unruly third brother Li Yuanji are respected, not to mention that the eldest grandson Wuji is still the only sister of Li Shimin's little eldest grandson Wuji, but now Li Shimin says don't want it, the ruthlessness of his heart and the depth of his utilitarian heart make him feel cold like ice.
