(Recently, I was in a hurry, so I didn't check the map carefully, Hexi County is in the south of Taiyuan County, this mistake is very difficult to change, A Cao will slowly modify it later, for convenience, Hexi County in the south will be changed to Fenzhou, I hope you forgive me.) ）

The fourteenth year of the Great Cause of Sui, the first year of Tang Wude, May.

Jinyang, Taiyuan stayed, Qi Wangfu.

Li Yuanji, the governor of Qi Wang, summoned his henchmen in the warm pavilion behind the mansion.

Of course, because His Royal Highness the King of Qi is still very young, only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has never gone south with the army to attack Chang'an, because his father has been awarded an important position.

So there are only a few so-called henchmen, and there is no one who can really obey orders, and they can't be compared with his two brothers at all.

For example, Yu Wenxin, the general of the right guard, was Li Yuan who stayed by Li Yuanji's side and acted as the general in charge of military power.

It is better to say that they are Li Yuanji's henchmen, but it is better to say that they are Li Yuan's trusted people.

When it was Sima Dou Dan of the Qi Palace, he had a good conversation with Li Yuanji, and what Li Yuanji wanted to do, Dou Dan would give him advice according to his wishes.

Other Cao generals such as Zhang Da, the general of the chariot cavalry, have their own dependence, and it is true that they obey the orders of the governor of the state, but they are not so convinced by a teenage young prince.

In general, Li Yuan's start in Taiyuan is good, but Li Yuan's days of running Taiyuan are not long, let alone Li Yuanji.

And Li Yuan said left and right that Li Yuanji was smart, quite courageous, and acted in a disciplined manner, but in fact, it was all flattery, and he couldn't be true.

Li Yuan often thinks that among his sons, Li Shimin is most like his cousin Yang Guang. In fact, he was really wrong, the most like Yang Guang when he was young was the fourth son Li Yuanji.

Since childhood, he has been smart and exposed, good at pleasing his parents and connecting with friends. is quite ambitious, and he is a juvenile version of Yang Guang.

Of course, he is even more impatient than Yang Guang, when Yang Guang seized the throne, he also knew how to forbear, and he did it very neatly, but Li Yuanji did not do it.

Seeing that his brothers were rewarded for their meritorious service with their father, his subordinates were constantly accumulating military exploits. He could only stay in Jinyang, guarding the backyard of his home, and he couldn't show any talent, and the anxiety in his heart was beyond the comprehension of others.

Therefore, he has done some stupid things one after another, and stupid people do stupid things, but the harm is not great, and he is afraid that this kind of guy who claims to be smart will do stupid things. The consequences are much more serious.

Li Yuancai has only been away from Jinyang for almost a year, and Jinyang is already unstable. There was chaos, and there was also a very big disagreement within the governor's office.

Yu Wenxin and Dou Jing both wrote books one after another, wanting the emperor to transfer King Qi back to Beijing.

Yu Wenxin, as a military general, spoke more intensely. is not afraid of offending people, wrote down all the rumors of Jinyang, and sent them back to Chang'an, the capital division.

Dou Jing was more tactful, only blaming his younger brother for not knowing how to persuade the ministers, and pinning all the sins on his younger brother Dou Dan's head.

And now. More serious consequences appeared, and Li Po, the head of the Daizhou march, sent troops to capture Fenyang Palace.

This blow was a bit heavy, and as soon as he was appointed as the head of the Daizhou march, he grinned at the Li family, almost stabbing the Li family in the back.

And this knife down, the blood flow is not much, but the severity far exceeds the Jinyang, and even the disturbing gossip in Hedong.

In the warm pavilion, there was silence, a low table fell to the ground, and the paper, ink, pen and inkstone were scattered on the couch, which was Li Yuanji after he was angry and lifted the table.

This can't scare anyone, Yu Wenxin sat there quietly with a black face, as if there were flames beating on his body, this kind of depressed momentum really made people feel terrible.

Li Yuanji glared at everyone fiercely, looking over one by one, his young and handsome face was a little distorted, and this kind of fierceness on the outside did not have much sense of oppression on everyone.

After a long time, Yu Wenxin said slowly: "Dou Yuanxiu went to Yanmen, but what happened to him?" ”

Everyone else hung their heads slightly, the news from Yanmen has been cut off for a long time, since Yanmen Taishou Chen Xiaoyi took office, unless there is an order from the east, otherwise don't expect to be able to summon this person.

Now that he has voted for Li Po, the head of the Daizhou march, let alone want to know what's going on in Yanmen.

Of course, the meaning of these words, everyone also understands that it is just a prevarication, and provoking a war with Daizhou is definitely not the current situation that Datang is willing to see, and Chang'an will definitely be held accountable after that, so it is necessary to find a scapegoat after all.

And Li Yuanji's eyes were fixed on Yu Wenxin, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Dou Changshi is the Yanmen sent by this king to read the imperial edict to Li Ding'an's thief, what's wrong?" ”

Although he is young, he understands this very clearly, Dou Jing must be saved, this matter is unusual, if the sin of Li Pobing, the head of the Daizhou march, is forced to fall on Dou Jing's head, not to mention the side, a person who is not properly employed can almost make him return to Beijing gloomily.

Of course, this can also be seen, he is also a little panicked, but in his heart, there is no little excitement, if he can take the opportunity to wave his troops to suppress Li Po in the future, under the first battle, he will be able to rank with his two elder brothers.

But Yu Wenxin and others would never think so.

Li Yuanji is young, they are not young, once Li Po waves his troops to Jinyang, it will be a strong force in Jindi that he fought with the Turks, and these people in Jinyang can almost only defend it.

If you want to defeat the Daizhou people in the field, you don't have to think about it.

Yu Wenxin looked at Li Yuanji, and his heart was also ruthless, ignorant child, if it weren't for the surname Li, a little cub like you would also deserve to shout in front of me?

He cursed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Since His Royal Highness has returned to protect him, then don't talk about Dou Yuanxiu." ”

Then, he turned his gaze to Dou Dan and said, "Dou Sima, I heard that you have an old relationship with that Li Po?" ”

His question startled Dou Dan, in fact, it is not surprising that others always want to deduct the blame on his head, these days of staying in Jinyang, he accompanied Li Yuanji out of the city to shoot and hunt, and those ghost ideas against the Wang family are not only Li Yuanji's own opinions.

In fact, he is not a son-in-law without any talents, but he is similar to Yu Wenxin and others, accompanying Li Yuanji, almost playing with children, he doesn't expect Li Yuanji to bring him glory and wealth at all.

The fourth prince is too young, and through these days of getting along, he can't see much hope from Li Yuanji, and he smells the ruthlessness from his people.

In fact, needless to say, he is also very ruthless, the second brother Dou Jing went to Yanmen and did not return, Li Po, the head of the Daizhou march, sent troops to capture Fenyang Palace, Dou Jing was obviously in a dangerous and unpredictable situation.

But he didn't care too much about this, because he had always been estranged from this second brother, at this time, he was not thinking about how the second brother was, but regretting that when he went to Yunnei, he should have had a deep friendship with that person.

You see, now, people are almost already princes on the side of the army, whether they are friends or foes, it will be useful to associate with such heroes.

Thinking about it further, the Jindi pawn who was preparing meals for himself and others in Zhuo County at that time...... At this moment, Dou Dan not only regretted it, but also had a sense of impermanence.

Of course, he has also sensed danger recently, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Looking at Yu Wenxin's gloomy gaze, he really wanted to punch this person immediately, he wanted to pour dirty water on his second brother just now, and now he turned his head and came to trouble him again.

What happened to my Dou family digging your ancestral grave? Moreover, Is Dou so easy to bully?

He lowered his gaze slightly, hiding the trace of fierceness in it, smiled calmly, and replied softly, "Li Po offended me for no reason, I have no mercy with others, Your Highness, it is better to report to Chang'an urgently, please kill him, Dou Dan is not talented, I am willing to hold a knife and behead this thief with my own hands and dedicate it to His Highness." ”

Speaking of lips and tongues, it is estimated that Yuwenxin is not the opponent of the Dou family, which is not only blocking Yuwenxin's rhetoric, but also ridiculing Yuwenxin as the head of the generals of Jinyang.

only knows how to pass the buck, but there is no plan to deal with it, and he has no courage to confront the enemy on the battlefield.

Yu Wenxin didn't know whether he understood or not, he just snorted coldly and said: "Your Highness, it is not easy for Jinyang to send troops at this time, Dou Sima will give it his lips and tongue, why don't you send him to Yanmen to talk to Li Po and soothe his heart, his people have been at war with the Turks for many years, and they have no choice but to lead their troops south?" ”

"If you can subdue them, Your Highness will be able to do great things, and you will be able to be respected and rewarded."

Li Yuanji originally listened to what Dou Dan said very well, but now, when he heard what Yu Wenxin said, he felt that what Yu Wenxin said was also a little reasonable.

Speaking of which, he is not a person who has no ideas, otherwise he would not be bent on using the Jinyang Wang clan to operate, but the first time he encountered such a major event, it was really not so easy to choose.

Dou Dan gritted his teeth, he didn't dare to try this kind of rich and dangerous thing, he didn't have the courage of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, otherwise he would not have obeyed the will of his family in Zhuo County, and did not go to Liaodong to make meritorious contributions, but returned to Luoyang.

In the flash of his mind, Dou Dan said quietly: "The Turkic Khan is seriously ill, and everyone wants to seize the position of the Khan, but they have no time to look south, and at this time, Li Po mobilized his troops, I am afraid that it will be ......."

After a while, someone said aloud: "Li Po is good at fighting, and the elite soldiers under his command are numerous, so it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible, and ask His Highness to ask for help from Chang'an as soon as possible, and then recruit soldiers from all walks of life in Hedong to come to Jinyang to exterminate Li Po, so as not to raise tigers." ”

"This is a mistake, Li Po has raised troops so far, he has always been respectful, and he is a barrier to my north, blocking the Turks from outside, and he can raise troops that day, and he can have no worries, all thanks to this person...... Today, there is a sudden recurrence, I don't investigate it carefully, and I will use the army to fight with it, and there will be no advantage if I win, but I will lose a good general on the border, and I will lose my troops and generals, and I will face the Turkic soldiers. ”

"If you lose, the land of Jin will be eroded and difficult to clean up, so I hope Your Highness will think twice." (To be continued.) )
