In Kaiyang City, the wine banquet is in full swing.

Three thousand Hedong soldiers were welcomed into Kaiyang City and stationed in various places, and Wang Zhongtong, the son of Wang Rengong, the warden of Mayi County, arrived immediately. Immediately afterwards, there were also a large number of laborers' belongings.

When the soldiers and civilians in the land of clouds were hungry and cold-tolerant, Wang Zhongtong brought Kaiyang thousands of stones, grain and grass, hundreds of buckets of good wine, and 500 live sheep, and requisitioned thousands of people to transfer these materials to Kaiyang.

Within two or three days, the 3,000 Hedong soldiers were all in the atmosphere of a big feast, with unlimited supply of wine and meat, and each person was rewarded with goods and goods. These 3,000 Hedong soldiers were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together. I thought that going all the way north was an out-and-out chore, but I didn't expect that there would be such benefits!

Although it is impossible to talk about the future of the second son, these rewards are really in the belly and waist!

The soldiers and soldiers are like this, as the son of the Li family and the son of the Wang family, they naturally have a feast.

These few days of banquets are set up in the original county order office of Kaiyang City. Family feasts can often last all night and for several days in a row. This atmosphere came from the south after the Great Sui pacified the Chen Dynasty, and the Northland family was quickly contaminated by this southern wind. In Luoyang City, Chang'an, there were even feasts for more than a month!

The son of the Wang family, the handwriting is naturally big. It turned out that the county order office, which was slightly dilapidated, was hung up with brocade barriers in the damaged places. Although the weather is cold, the banquet hall has four windows open. Not only is there a dragon under the floor, but there are also braziers outside the window, although there is no bamboo charcoal sent by Shudi, but the charcoal burned locally is not hesitant to burn one pot after another, just so that these nobles can be in thin clothes when the doors and windows are open, showing the dignified color.

On top of several cases, the furnishings are full of mountain delicacies, as well as fish made of river fish. And all kinds of fruits were also set up on a plate and a plate. One table of wine and food was broken, and it was immediately replaced by another table.

In the border area of Mayi, the soldiers of the Yunzhong Army are hungry, the people in the nest are half frozen to death, and the road is full of displaced people, even if they can escape to Hedong and other places, they don't know how much they can leave. But in this flower hall, there is a flow of spring, and the wine is full of fat.

This is already the third day of Wang Zhongtong's arrival. Although Li Shimin was dressed in a loose banquet robe, sitting behind a few cases, he still tried to put a smile on his face, but he subconsciously frowned from time to time. His face was already too rigid, and once he frowned, he suddenly became incompatible with the atmosphere of this banquet.

And the eldest grandson Wuji, who was sitting next to him, tugged Li Shimin's sleeve without a trace at this time, Li Shimin immediately relaxed his brows and squeezed out a smile again.

Wang Zhongtong sat on the main seat, feasting for three consecutive days, still in good spirits, and now he also had some wine, and he looked a little profligate, and he casually pulled a maid beside him, rubbing it.

While laughing with this maid, he opened his mouth to Li Shimin.

"Erlang, originally according to a certain meaning, this trip really doesn't have to go. Liu Wuzhou jumped off the beam clown, what can he do? And he doesn't have food yet, you are also leading soldiers, without food, what's the use of having soldiers? But the father was bent on seeking stability, and he still invited 3,000 Hedong soldiers to help, and the father had orders, and the son could only obey them. But you and I, brothers, can get closer. There is really nothing good in this Mayi County, not for wine, not for women! Not to mention all kinds of fun, after two years of being here with my father, I feel like I have become a Hu person! This trip, you have suffered a lot of hardship, and there is really nothing to entertain......"

Speaking of this, Wang Zhongtong looked at Li Shimin with drunken eyes and laughed: "But you can't let Bishamen come, right?" After all, Bishamen is the son of the world, but he is going to Chang'an! ”

Bishamen is Li Jiancheng's character, and Wang Zhongtong keeps speaking, but he is affectionate.

The eldest grandson Wuji's heart tightened, this Wang Zhongtong actually provoked the relationship between the Li family brothers so nakedly. Now it is the Wang family begging the Li family, and I don't know if Wang Zhongtong is too much, or if the Wang family has any other intentions!

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin, for fear that Erlang, who was sometimes a little impatient, would open a few cases.

Li Shimin did not move, and smiled faintly: "It is true that Liu Wuzhou is short of food, but his command is like a cloud of elite soldiers." It is rumored that Xu Le, who suddenly appeared, didn't he take down Shenwu? It is said that he also let the military horses under the command of the county prince have suffered a small setback. This is just a partial division under Liu Wuzhou, right? ”

Wang Zhongtong's face turned red all of a sudden.

The children of the family, the demeanor of dealing with people, he is naturally not lacking. But Wang Zhongtong thinks very highly of himself, and the Taiyuan Wang family has not been broken for 400 years. Nouveau riche like the Li family, among the peers, if Li Jiancheng is barely on an equal footing with him, an unfavored Li Shimin comes, and he needs him to greet him personally, and he also brings so many rewards, how can Wang Zhongtong balance his heart?

He is the son of the Wang family, and he entertains Li Shimin like this, even if he takes advantage of it, what can he do, this Li Shimin actually dares to laugh back!

Anyway, Wang Zhongtong can still remember that at this moment, the Wang family is begging the Li family. didn't rush into anger immediately, just sneered: "Xu Le, this son, just took advantage of it with courage, and the small setback was just the Hu military horses recruited by his father, and these Hu military horses were originally used for consumption." Liu Wuzhou took Xu Le's adventure to go deeper, even if he got a little cheap, he didn't damage his father Ma Yi's foundation! Father also immediately moved forward, recovered Shenwu, Xu Le's subordinates were thousands, nearly half of them were lost, and they fled in the clouds in a hurry, and now Liu Wuzhou did not dare to take a step out of the clouds! ”

Wang Zhongtong said loudly, and the eldest grandson Wuji was afraid that Li Shimin would refute again, so he was busy playing a round: "What the prince said is right. Now that the Wang family and the Li family are hand in hand, Mayi County is even more peaceful! Drink at the moment, but drink is! ”

Li Shimin smiled beside him: "The three thousand Hedong soldiers have entered Mayi, what do you want us to do next?" Is it to help the county guard the good sun and survive this winter? ”

Wang Zhongtong's face sank again. He also couldn't understand why his father had to invite Hedong soldiers in! Now it seems that this winter can survive no matter what. After the winter, Liu Wuzhou didn't have a few grains left, and he dragged the Hengan Yingyang Mansion in the clouds to death. What else do you want to invite Hedong soldiers to enter Mayi? Add some variables?

It was absolutely impossible for the Hedong soldiers to take advantage of Wang Rengong's anger and go north to attack Liu Wuzhou.

Thinking about it, it was just Wang Rengong who used this posture to relax Li Yuan's vigilance. With 3,000 soldiers watching Kaiyang, Li Yuan can rest assured that he will raise troops west to Chang'an. Ma Yi can avoid the worry of Li Yuan, a behemoth, taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Then this winter, they all have to eat and drink well for the 3,000 Hedong soldiers, and they don't need to make any effort. It's depressing to think about.

But since my father let me come to greet him, he just wanted to appease the Hedong soldiers. Even if he looks down on this Li Shimin anymore, he can only endure it.

Wang Zhongtong folded his spirits, ready to only talk about Fengyue and put this topic over.

At this time, a general under Wang Zhongtong staggered in and said hurriedly: "Shizi, the north beacon fire!" ”

Wang Zhongtong took the case: "What beacon fire? ”

The general said in a trembling voice: "The beacon fire of the Turks going south!" ”

Li Shimin got up as soon as he got up and strode out of the flower hall.

It was already night, and in the northern sky, you could see the beacon on the top of the mountain, burning the beacon fire. This set of warning system was established during the Great Sui Dynasty to prevent grassland peoples. Although now the county of Mayi has been divided into two rivals. But the defense system left by the Great Sui Empire is still operating, and it seems to be the last vestige of this great empire!

The news of the deacon's southward movement spread from the north of the clouds to Kaiyang, the southernmost part of Mayi!

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly came out and stood beside Li Shimin, followed by Wang Zhongtong, who was supported by the general. Li Shimin glanced at Wang Zhongtong's face, Wang Zhongtong's face was full of doubts, looking at the beacon fire in the north.

Li Shimin lowered his voice and said to the eldest grandson Wuji beside him: "I want to go to Shanyang!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji comprehended: "This Turkic ............"

Li Shimin nodded: "Wang Rengong still wants to solve Liu Wuzhou as soon as possible, this Turkic person, maybe he attracted it!" If Wang Rengong and the Turks merge, I will prepare for my father earlier! ”
