The fate of many people has been touched, and the storm caused by butterflies is spreading like ripples......

And Li Tang, the emerging regime, has indeed come to a life-and-death juncture at this time, which is also related to the fate of countless people.

Wannian County Governing Office, Wannian City.

The historical evolution of the left and near Chang'an region is too far away to ignore him, but to say that the former Sui Wen Emperor Yang Jian abandoned the old city of Chang'an and built a Daxing City as the capital of the former Sui.

So Jingzhao County has Chang'an County, Daxing County is divided, Chang'an County is located in the ancient city of Chang'an, and Daxing County includes the area around Daxing City.

When Li Yuan entered Daxing City, he soon changed the new city to Chang'an, merged Daxing and Chang'an counties into Chang'an County, and the governance office was still in the old city of Chang'an, and Wannian County was placed in addition to the Wannian City.

In fact, since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the geographical division of Jingzhao County has been very messy, and like other aspects, whoever is the master wants to change it to show the atmosphere of the new dynasty, but in fact it has not had much effect.

Just like now, the county magistrate of Chang'an County is the eldest grandson of the wife and uncle of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and the county magistrate of Wannian County is surnamed Xiao, all of whom are the sons of the lords, not only the official position, but also the family background, but the responsibilities are actually similar, to stabilize Gyeonggi, by the way, to protect the hunting grounds of the royal palace, the manors of the nobles, and to deal with some disputes between nobles, etc.

is very similar to the Chang'an Order, they are all held by the emperor's trusted nobles, otherwise they would not be competent at all.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was "seriously ill", stopped at this time in Wannian County, which was once under the rule of Feng Yi County, and was closer to Feng Yi County.

The county seat is not big, far less spacious and solid than the ancient city of Chang'an.

More than 100,000 troops were stationed here, and the entire county town had already become a large barracks.

The eldest grandson Shunde did not live up to Li Shimin's trust, he held the seal letter of General Tiance, and before he got the Shangshu of Shaanxi East Road to order Xiao Yu and others to open the door of convenience, and in a few days, more than 100,000 people had gathered.

Of course, the people gathered in such a hurry have mixed origins.

Part of them are the defenders of the Gyeonggi region, but they are actually the guards of Jingzhao County and the guardian slaves of the nobles, which is obviously due to the fact that the eldest grandson Wuji has served as the county commander of Chang'an County for a long time, so it can be so cheap.

In recent times, Li Shimin tried his best to support the strategy of transferring troops to the west, and successively transferred men and horses from the riverside, and the eldest grandson Wuji took the seal of General Tiance and intercepted them, even if they had already set off and left, they were chased back by him.

There are also some people who are recruited on the spot and the grain transport team from the west, and the spring flowers are blooming, whether it is the people in Chang'an City or the army by the river, they need countless grain and grass.

So whatever the grain was shipped to, it was intercepted.

Obviously, this is a big gamble by Li Shimin, and the bet is that Li Po will inevitably lead the army across the river, otherwise, His Royal Highness the King of Qin can only lead this army to Chang'an City.

And such a big move must only be a short-term behavior, whether it is Chang'an or Tongguan, it is impossible to let such an army appear close at hand without noticing.

At this moment, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who can be described as desperate, is sitting cross-legged on his knees quite leisurely on the back house hall of the county government of Wannian County, and the faint fragrance of tea lingers between his mouth and nose.

There was only one person sitting with him, in his forties, slightly fat, with a strong bookish atmosphere on his body, long eyebrows and fine eyes, almost just by looking at it, he could know that this was a relative of the old Li family.

Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, the second son of Li Zhang, the assassin of Liangzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the grandson of Li Hu of the Eight Pillars Kingdom, that is, Li Yuan's cousin, and Li Shenfu, Li Xiaogong and the like, are all relatives of the Li clan.

"Uncle, please."

Waiting for the maid to offer the freshly cooked tea, Li Shimin smiled and invited the guests.

Li Xiaoji looked at the nephew in front of him in shock, and shouted bad luck in his heart.

He originally served in Honglu Temple, which is a very light position in this year, and he only needs to uphold the meaning of the Ministry of Rites to hold funerals for nobles like Dou Kang and Dou Wei brothers, as for the management of ethnic minorities, reception of foreign guests and other work, well, it has to have it in this year.

But some time ago, Xiao Yu was ordered to return to Beijing by the Shangshu of Shaanxi Province, and I don't know who recommended it, or Li Yuan's handpick, and this extremely important position suddenly fell on Li Xiaoji's head.

Maybe a few words of the Li family are enough to explain everything?

Li Xiaoji's talent is mediocre, and under the sudden rise to the top, he is already very weak-minded, and what is even more unfortunate is that he was intercepted by the army less than ten miles out of Beijing and brought to the county seat of Wannian, and what he saw was his nephew who was supposed to recuperate in the Qin Wangfu in Chang'an.

If sitting on pins and needles, Li Xiaoji would rather meet a strongman who has broken the road, than face this wolf-like nephew, what does it mean to meet here, where can Li Xiaoji not understand, the words internal and external troubles appear in his mind.

"My uncle's appointment as the secretary of the Shaanxi East Road is a gratifying thing, but the times are difficult and the responsibility is heavy...... But the nephew wants to ask the uncle if he has a superior strategy? Otherwise, why would he perform his duties on behalf of Xiao Shangshu? ”

Taking a sip of tea, Li Shimin couldn't help but kowtow twice, only then did he seem to laugh, but his tone was already like a question, which also showed that His Royal Highness King Qin, who seemed to be leisurely and calm, was not in a very beautiful mood.

Li Xiaoji smiled bitterly, "Erlang...... Before leaving, he was summoned by the Supreme Being, and Yin Yin told him that there is nothing to say to people, the prince guards Tongguan, the king of Xiangyi County guards Feng Yi, and General Hou is in Hancheng ......"

"Everyone is the best of all...... As long as the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai does a good job of transporting grain and grass, recruiting soldiers, etc., it is meritorious, Erlang, do you say? ”

Li Shimin snorted in his heart, Li Xiaoji, a clansman who does not seek to be motivated is the group he despises the most, and it is not as good as Li Yuanji, who jumps up and down.

If it was normal times, it would be fine, but now that the fire has burned to the front of the house, this person, as the secretary of the Eastern Shaanxi Road, still wants to mess around, which is really hateful.

"Maybe my uncle doesn't know that Li Ding'an has already crossed the river to attack, and he occupied the river beach earlier today, and he will be able to attack Feng Yi tomorrow."

"Huh?" This news is freshly released, and Lee Hyo-gi, who is in a hurry to take office, really doesn't know.

And looking at Li Xiaoji's dizzy appearance, Li Shimin was really angry, this is wartime, if it weren't for this person's surname Li, or his elder, and even the Shangshu Order of Shaanxi East Road, as long as there is one less here, Li Shimin Xu would be able to get angry and behead Li Xiaoji with one sword.

After taking another sip of tea and suppressing the anger, Li Shimin said solemnly: "This king has already made the decision, moving the east Shaanxi Road to Wannian County, my uncle only needs to listen to this king's orders here in the future, my uncle thinks it's good?" ”

was stared at by his nephew's cold eyes, how dare Li Xiaoji, who was already a little dizzy, say nothing.

Even forced and frightened his uncle to make him obedient, and then said, "Seeing that my uncle is also tired, why don't you rest earlier, and the war will be together, I'm afraid I won't be able to be idle." ”

Lee Hyo-gi resigned and fled from here.

Li Shimin drank some tea soup alone in the hall, and at the same time pondered whether he could borrow the guise of the Shaanxi East Road to go to the prince to ask for some soldiers and horses.

It's a pity that after thinking about it, there is nothing to take advantage of, you know, before the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai Shangshu Ling Xiao Yu was the authentic Qin Wang's party, and the prince's side had long been on guard, so it was really not easy to say that the order of the Shaanxi East Road Xingtai went to Tongguan.

Soon after, the civil and military people led by Fang Xuanling and Liu Shirang came one after another, and the brightly lit hall was soon filled with people.

Looking at the faces with different expressions, but all with tiredness, Li Shimin gradually became excited, the big war is imminent, and the opponent is such a strong enemy, and he has fallen behind in several confrontations......

People like Li Shimin need such a strong opponent, just like before, if there was no Xue Ju father and son, how could there be today's Admiral Tiance?

After this war...... My father is old, so it's better to take care of my old age...... Li Shimin imagined quietly.

…………………………

Like Chang'an, the pre-war meetings here also lasted for a long time, but there were more generals here, and the voices were louder, and the arguments were more fierce and direct.

Compared with the dying Li Yuan, the energetic and ambitious Li Shimin is more like a competent emperor, standing up when a strong enemy is coming, judging the situation accurately and sophisticatedly, and the same is true for the grasp of fighters.

It's just that he is not Li Yuan after all, even if he has the Shaanxi East Dao Xingtai in his hands, he can't control the entire battle situation by the river in his own hands.

In the middle of the night, the war report sent back to Chang'an by the crown prince Li Jiancheng was also intercepted, and after just a few glances, he was abandoned by Li Shimin.

It is said that the Jin army outside Tongguan came in a big way, and the leader of the troops was Li Ding'an's fierce general Buqun, and there were more than 100,000 people in the Mabu army.

There are a lot of soldiers and horses in Tongguan, but too many people can be surrendered, and in the first battle of last year, the defenders of Tongguan not only lost their soldiers and generals, but also fell up and down, such a situation, Li Shimin can imagine even if he has not seen it in person.

Discussed with the generals until dawn, and then the people dispersed one after another, and it was not an overnight thing to gather more than 100,000 people with different backgrounds in one place and have a certain combat effectiveness.

In a hurry, everyone is responsible for their responsibilities, and they can't be idle for a moment.

Just like Li Shimin, even if he is tired of kindness, he must hold on, at this time he gently rubbed his forehead and coughed twice from time to time...... This is the sequelae left by the original attack on Longmen when he led the army, because he has not been recuperating deliberately in the past two years, and it has turned into a chronic disease.

Coming to the front of the hall, someone immediately came up to put on a cloak for His Royal Highness King Qin, Li Shimin waved away from the servant, looked up at the sky slightly, breathed in the cool breath of early spring, and his already somewhat chaotic mind gradually sobered up.

Li Shimin was stunned, he actually thought of it, and he didn't know what the Han King was doing at this time, and what was he thinking?
