Li Shenfu understood the righteousness, bargained like a trader, made himself very uncomfortable, and turned his head to write to the middle.

Winter is approaching, and the officers and men of all units lack food and clothing, and cannot survive the winter, so please allocate grain and grass for military needs.

On the surface, he said so, but in private, he sent his henchmen to see Li Xiuning and discuss with Li Xiuning whether he could allocate part of the grain and grass of the Tongguan garrison to himself.

After all, there are a lot fewer defenders in Tongguan, as for those Henan troops, what's the use of eating so much?

Li Xiuning was much happier than the two big men, and agreed with a wave of his hand, no one is a fool these days, whether it is Li Jiancheng, Li Xiuning, or Li Shenfu, they all know that the Tongguan war is over.

The possibility of the Tongguan garrison led by the crown prince Li Jiancheng going out of the pass to fight with Li Ding'an is very small, and if there is an accident in the court later, the prince may return to Beijing.

Because the beginning and end of the battle of Tongguan gradually spread, the crown prince Li Jiancheng's ability to lead the troops was greatly questioned, and there were many people in the court who helped the prince speak, and they couldn't see anything, but the two people by the river had a rough idea.

Unless the emperor issued an edict, ordering all departments to reinforce Tongguan, raise troops to fight with Li Ding'an, maybe Li Ding'an can be driven back to Jindi, with the existing strength of Tongguan, and the situation of the previous battle, once the Tongguan defenders go out of the customs to fight, it is likely to be defeated outside Tongguan, and it will not be so stupid to think that the prince Li Jiancheng will not be so stupid.

Therefore, after the direction of Tongguan, it can only be defensive.

In that case, no matter how Li Jiancheng struggles, the strategic center of gravity in the east will no longer be in the hands of the prince.

Then the military quartermaster of the Tongguan garrison can be reduced as appropriate, and the household department, the military department, or the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai should not say anything, even if there is a murmur in the court, hum, the big deal is to replace people to guard Yongfengcang.

Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang said that she didn't care about this at all, as for whether she would offend the prince, it didn't matter, she had been on bad terms with her brothers for a long time, what was it if she added one or two?

Li Shenfu quietly stumbled Li Jiancheng, and he was very satisfied with his performance, so he also stopped, and the signs of the army's lack of food had actually been manifested, otherwise, Li Shenfu would not have used such a small means to block Li Jiancheng.

In the autumn harvest of this year, the grain output in Shuzhong continued to decrease, and hundreds of thousands of troops were distributed everywhere, which brought a very heavy burden to Li Tang......

The situation is becoming more and more sinister, in view of this, in fact, from the beginning of the return of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to Beijing, Li Yuan held court meetings one after another, trying to find a way to break through the predicament.

This is obviously a choice of strategic direction, and the outcome of the DPRK meeting is not surprising.

There are manpower masters who advance eastward, and they are divided into two factions, that is, first defeat Wang Shichong, and then level Li Ding'an, or break Li Ding'an first, and then try the difference between Wang Shichong.

Their reasons are also very sufficient, the eastern counties used to be rich land, and the Jin land was once the location of the Li family's Longxing, if they got Henan, they would have two capitals in hand, talents gathered, righteousness in hand, and the effect of deterring the princes would be very prominent.

If the Jindi is restored first, it can also form a strategic advantage, so that Wang Shichong can take care of one and lose the other, and it is not difficult to figure it out.

And some people think that Guanxi and Shuzhong are each other's surface, Wang Shichong occupies the eastern capital with strong troops, Li Ding'an's momentum is like a rainbow soldier, and the two are now colluding, and it is difficult to pull out lightly in eagerness, so it is better to increase troops in Shuzhong to expel Xiao Miao, first consolidate the fundamentals, and then try the world.

In fact, there is not much new, such a debate has always existed in Chang'an, but at this time it finally became clear.

The people who want to go east are naturally the people of the Luoyang clan and the lords of Jindi, and the people who advocate increasing the army in Shu are the leaders of the Guanxi Gate Lord, so to speak, people on both sides have selfish intentions, but they can't be wrong in terms of strategy, but they just choose to be different.

However, before Li Yuan could make up his mind, Wang Shichong had already bumped into him, so the court discussion was stopped, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Tongguan.

At the beginning, what made Li Yuan very pleased was that the eldest son finally showed his ability to lead the troops, and he was very calm, and the strategy of holding on to the fighters was very much approved by the courtiers.

Li Yuan was not idle, recruiting the children of the gate lords to join the army, plus Chang'an Xiaoguo, forming an army of 20,000, ready to reinforce the Tongguan defenders at any time.

By the way, Li Shimin's plan to kill Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, with a stick, was also stillborn, because at this time, the battle at Tongguan was the mainstay, and Li Yuan would not allow anything to distract the prince's attention.

It can be said that since the defeat of Xue Ju, another big war that affected the hearts of the people in Chang'an occurred, during this period, the horses that traveled to and from Tongguan and Chang'an official roads were endless, and the military intelligence reports in front were continuously sent to the emperor's table.

Different from the chaos when Li Shimin, the king of Qin, broke through Xue Rengao, when Li Jiancheng oversaw the army and Wang Shichong fought in Tongguan, the hearts of the people in Chang'an were relatively neat, which was the gap between the prince and the king of Qin.

Li Shimin's mood at this time is needless to mention, it is complicated enough to stew a pot of eight-treasure porridge, but he still has to "bring illness" to act on official business.

If it was left back then, he would definitely sing a counterpoint to everyone and attack Li Jiancheng's conservative strategy, but now, after so many ups and downs, Li Podu has gone from a nobody to a prince, not to mention Li Shimin, who has a halo.

The city government is getting deeper and deeper, but he just looks at the direction of Tongguan coldly, while secretly sighing that the prince is lucky, while waiting for the results of the war to come.

When the news of Wang Shichong's defeat and escape came back to Chang'an, the court and the central government were jubilant, in fact, it was not much worse, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, including Li Shimin.

No matter how many grievances the people in Chang'an City have, in fact, they are all in the same boat, if Wang Shichong is allowed to rush into Guanxi, Chang'an will be another Luoyang, well, the east and west have become bandits' nests, that scene ...... It's terrifying.

The increasingly irritable emperor Li Yuan was smiling at the next few court meetings, as if he had become the famous Tang Duke again.

Li Yuanji, who made Li Shimin's hated itchy teeth, also got cheap, and took advantage of the opportunity of the big victory in front of him to cry bitterly in front of Lao Tzu to repent of his mistakes, and obtained Li Yuan's forgiveness, and returned to the Qi Palace, not to mention, he was also promoted to the governor of the pro-guard capital, and was also in charge of the Chang'an Order.

Of course, this is definitely not comparable to the series of terrifying titles on Li Yuanji's head back then, but the pro-guard governor ...... It is true that he does not have much real power, but he has the right to impeach the merits of the ministers, which is much stronger than the imperial history, because he can directly talk to the emperor.

Li Shimin was also very helpless about this unbeatable Xiaoqiang, and Li Yuan also specially told him when he entered the palace, and called Li Yuanji to admit his mistake to Li Shimin in person.

Li Shimin will also be a little crying and laughing, you want to be a loving father, it's too late, right?

In fact, Li Yuan would never expect his three sons to be brothers, brothers, brothers, and brothers at this time, and get along in harmony, he just didn't want to be like Emperor Wen Yang Jian, and in the end, only one of the three sons-in-law was left.

So Li Shimin reluctantly "forgiven" his younger brother, in fact, Li Shimin felt that his father had done some mother-in-law, what did this younger brother do wrong? What is he, who is an older brother, forgiving? Is it really clear?

Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, the grievances between brothers are deep, and there are things like storage positions sandwiched in them, where is there the possibility of getting back together? Unless it's dead......

Li Shimin was depressed for a few days, and restarted Zhang Luo to build the Qin Wangfu Bachelor's Hall, recruiting talents into the shogunate, and also began to prepare for the fame of the people in the house, this Yang is naturally a literary name, everyone knows that the prince lacks martial arts, and the king of Qin lacks civil governance, so the prince competes for merit in Tongguan, and the king of Qin buries himself in the article.

The two brothers are in full swing, and neither of them dares to relax.

And with the east wind of Tongguan's victory, some people began to move around frequently, and the sound of eastward entering Luoyang became louder.

It's just that two days later, the news of Tongguan came, Li Jiancheng made a mistake there, Li Ding'an crossed the river, and under the first battle, Li Jiancheng was blocked in Tongguan with almost no effort.

So, in a battle with Wang Shichong, in addition to the loss of troops and generals, there were some Henan troops, the news spread, the people in Chang'an City were surprised, and the sound of marching into the eastern capital suddenly stopped.

As a scholar, Li Shimin almost didn't care about gloating, and immediately entered the palace to see the driver the moment he got the news, no one knew what the father and son said that time, but vaguely heard rumors that the emperor and the king of Qin had a very strong quarrel.

In July, Chang'an finally quieted down a little, and Li Ding'an's name had been forcibly stuffed into the minds of Chang'an's ministers like a magic spell, and whether it was a court discussion or a private discussion, it was no longer possible to leave this name.

The emperor's edict was passed down in an orderly manner, rewarding the meritorious soldiers of Tongguan, recruiting Henan generals to enter Chang'an for an audience, and all the departments of the army were under the control of the prince, and so on, once again showing the emperor's determination to protect the prince.

Unlike Li Yuanji, who has repeatedly escaped punishment, this is an acceptable result, after all, the crown prince has the merit of breaking the king's world, and no one has questioned the prince's strategic mistakes after the fact.

The political background of the crown prince Li Jiancheng's many years of operation played a very big role at this time, and there was no sign of the prince's continued deterioration of the strategic situation.

But for the East Palace, the damage is also obvious, and after the emperor advisers the military, there is always the King of Qin on his side, that is to say, after the battle of Tongguan, the King of Qin is more relied on.

Subsequently, the prince's request for additional troops in Tongguan was rejected, and Li Yuan passed the edict to Tongguan, ordering the defenders of Tongguan not to move lightly.

This is actually a nonsense, but it shows the emperor's dissatisfaction with the crown prince in disguise......
