The news coming back from the Northwest was nothing short of shocking.

Liang King Li Liang died, and this alone made Li Po's heart skip a big beat, and he said that Li Yuan's father and son's shit luck was really unparalleled.

Xue Ju died at a critical time, and the rest of the loser gave Li Erchang experience, which made others very uncomfortable, if it weren't for Xue Ju's defeat, he might have rushed into Kansai at this time.

It's good now, as soon as he stabilized the situation, Xiao Mo made a faint move, and then Li Liang died again, if Li Tang quickly destroyed the Liang Kingdom, Liang Shidu would be the prisoner of the order sooner or later.

If the Li Tang army in the northwest is transferred back, he, the king of Han, will also be unable to bear it, let alone cross the river to attack Chang'an, and he will not lose if he can hold the east of the river, even if he Li Po has the ability.

Just like when he fought with the Turks, it was not because the Turks were really so weak, but because the Turks never thought of trying their best to destroy him, the general of Heng'an.

Now he and Li Tang have become mortal enemies, if Li Tang goes to the northwest border, then the banks of the Yellow River will be full of troops, and everyone else will stay behind, and first removing Li Ding'an, the king of Han, is the slogan of Li Tang.

Fortunately, the situation in the northwest is not to the point of being terrible.

Li Liang's subordinates killed Li Yuan's internal response, re-elected a puppet, and then each of them held important positions, which was able to stabilize the situation.

Fan Wenjin suddenly rose from the middle of the army and obtained the official title, which made Li Po feel his chin and think for a long time, and he didn't understand what the people in the northwest thought about letting an envoy enjoy such a high position......

In fact, it was similar to Fan Wenjin's own feelings, Li Po also felt a little weird here, and then wondered if Fan Wenjin would plan to gain a foothold in Liangguo because of his glory and wealth, and then after this turmoil in Liangguo, he would still have some strength to use.

Fan Wenjin also said that he would try his best to promote an alliance between the two countries in the northwest and jointly deal with Li Yuan, which means that he regards wealth and glory as dung, and is he still a subordinate of the Han King?

These questions are so entangled that I can't understand them at all.

News can only be news, if it weren't for what he saw and heard with his own eyes, Li Po couldn't imagine everything that happened in Guzang City, let alone grasp the thoughts and actions of people thousands of miles away.

It's just that one thing is certain, that is, everything that happened last year seems to be God joking with him, and he thinks that the situation since the end of Sui is not exciting enough, and he must work hard to promote the duel between Er Li.

Yes, no matter how shocking the news from the northwest is, and how many wonderful stories have happened in it, it is actually further strengthening Li Po's determination to move westward.

The wonderful place of the world is also here, many things have erupted in this year, as if it was agreed, no one can figure out what kind of palm is using the world as a chessboard, manipulating the chess game, I'm afraid only God will have such a ability, right?

Moreover, it is no different from the situation in Xiao Miao's place, in addition to giving Li Tang a good opportunity, but it can't be done with a wave, Li Tang wants to take the opportunity to turn this into an advantage, Li Po feels that it will always take a year or even longer to achieve.

In the next few days, Li Po didn't care about anything else, but he kept thinking about this year's war, life and death were at stake...... He must be interrupted, and if he fights, we can turn around and escape.

The current situation is that he has to take into account all aspects, and he can't focus on war, otherwise he will be a mess, and what can he do if he wins? Don't you have to clean up the mess yourself?

Just like Wang Shichong, he rushed to Tongguan with his head bored, even if he was allowed to hit Chang'an, it would just make the world suffer more, and he could really occupy the two capitals and sweep the world as he thought?

…………………………

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, a day that is not before or after, the weather is getting warmer, but there is still a light snow, on this day, Li Po led people to personally inspect the Jinyang warehouse, looking at the granaries that are quite full, Li Po's confidence is involuntarily rising, but at the same time he is also scolding his mother.

Rejoicing that there was enough food for him to move westward, he was distressed that if he was given another year or two years, fighting one or two big battles would be nothing at all, at least it would not shake his fundamentals.

Now, this year's soldiers have moved, not to mention all the efforts of last year have come to naught, but there is not much left, and we have to tighten our belts for a year or two, and this is still a situation premised on victory......

In fact, this year's battle has to be fought, Li Tang's strategic environment is improving, and he can't be given a chance to breathe, Li Tang had a hard life last year, and this year will actually be no different.

There are more and more Li Tang deserters by the river, mainly due to the lack of food in the Tang army, even if Xiao Milling and Li Liang are deflated, they will not be able to change Li Tang's disadvantage on the bank of the Yellow River in a short time.

In other words, Li Po thinks that this year is the best opportunity to give Li Yuan a hard time, and there may not be such a good opportunity in the future.

Maybe in the near future, Li Tang's wise men will see the light of day, but in Li Po's eyes, Li Tang has entered the darkness before dawn.

Again, Li Tang's treasury is becoming increasingly empty, and the huge number of troops has become Li Tang's fatal wound.

Li Po was originally waiting for this wound to become inflamed and suppurated, and from time to time he would give this wound another one or two blows, maybe when, Li Tang would suddenly fall down like Wang Shichong.

But now that people's wounds are showing signs of healing, it is not clear what he is going to do.

In other words, when the bad news kept coming, Li Po not only saw the danger, but also saw the opportunity.

Back at the Han Palace, after lunch, Li Po stayed quietly in the study for a while, casually gave an order, and summoned He Chou, the secretary of the Ministry of Labor, to come and see him.

He Chou has reached the age of seventy or eighty, but he is still obsessed with power, and he can't go to the stack, just like Su Wei's grandfather, he is a serious official fan.

Therefore, Yun Dingxing went to the Ministry of Industry to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Labor, no matter which aspect, he was very unsolicited and often embarrassed by him, but unfortunately Yun Dingxing made up his mind, and only relied on the Ministry of Industry like a slug, which made He Chou very annoyed.

Of course, an old minister like him, who has been up and down in the sea for decades, as long as his head is not confused, he can be called a person who understands the world, so he will not understand the meaning of His Royal Highness the King of Han.

Yun Dingxing can take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, how can it be difficult for He Chou to accept, looking for Li Po many times to ask for success, and after going back, there was a "minor illness", but he still couldn't shake Li Po's mind, He Chou had to pinch his nose and admit it.

Now that Li Po summoned He Chou, he was definitely not a peacemaker for the two colleagues in the Ministry of Industry.

"Come on, sit down, it's cold, let your boss run all the way, sin and sin, come on, serve hot tea, and then get a bowl of ginger soup, and give He Shangshu to go to the cold."

Needless to say, Li Po's enthusiasm went without saying, he first greeted the head of the corridor outside the study, and when he saw He Chou coming, he immediately went up and grabbed He Chou's arm, and threw the good words over, I am afraid that the old man is not as attentive as him.

This is the treatment of He Chou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, here in Li Po, the only one, no one can compare, what he has not done is like sweeping the couch and waiting for each other, and it is so exaggerated to greet each other, but it can also make the old official fans feel a strong warmth and pride involuntarily born every time.

Every time I think about it, people will say in their hearts, just ask the world, who can be treated like this by the King of Han? The so-called soldier is a confidant who dies, so what's the harm with him burying his old bones in Jindi?

In fact, he didn't know that the King of Han treated him so favorably, if he was to his relatives, he actually liked his talent, but then again, if Yang Guang could treat him like this that day, why would the world be like this?

Even if the world is in chaos, he He Chou should be loyal to the Sui family...... Well, as soon as this kind of sentence comes out, it can actually be regarded as a big talk, a lie, not worth mentioning, and it can also be classified as the psychological self-comfort of the old guy.

As usual, in the middle, He Chouqiao fell in love for a few times, then sat firmly on the warm floor of the study, and opened his mouth to say bad things about Yun Dingxing.

The old man is a little nagging, and his thinking is also a little paranoid, you have to forgive him, in the same way, the atmosphere of officialdom at the end of the Jin Dynasty can also be well reflected in him, see who is not pleasing to the eye, high-minded, gossip or something, it is common, seize the opportunity to do it, they are uncomfortable.

Li Po listened with a smile, and nodded again and again, "You always have to bother to watch him closely, and I hate him as a person, but it is difficult now, and I have to use his talents...... Alas, it is really a last resort, and the Ministry of Industry has you all the time, but it makes me feel a lot more at ease. ”

When He Hou heard this, the folds on his face stretched out with a smile, in fact, what Li Po said was no different from before, it all belonged to the mud.

But Li Po has such a ability, every time he gives it, the words are different, and the meaning contained in it is also different, which can always make He Chou feel happy, but it can't solve the problem.

But this time, He Chou's words were different, and he followed the wind of the words and said: "Speaking of which, Yun is talented and unvirtuous, and he is deeply despised by everyone, all because of the ...... back then. Because of the crown prince Yang Yong, the king has the wisdom to know people, and it is suitable to use his talents......"

"It's just that there is it in the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry will inevitably be excluded by everyone, and for the future, the king has to think twice."

Li Po smiled, and said in his heart, you have finally found the right direction, you didn't hesitate at all, and said directly with some cunning: "I use his people, because he has specialization, so I don't worry about the rest, just like you are old, if the prince is twenty years younger, how dare I use it as a confidant without doubt?" ”

He Chou was stunned, smacked the taste, and it was still the same as before, so comfortable that people had nothing to say.

Looking at this young His Royal Highness the King of Han, He Chou could only say a word in his heart, the way of blowing and shooting, this has become everyone, it is estimated that even if he was born in the years of Chengping, his family background is lower, he will be prosperous as an official and create an enviable career.

And now people are stuffing pawns from one side, and it is natural that they have a place and rank among the princes.
