Taiyuan County governs Jinyang City.

In the night, this northern city is like a giant beast, standing on the north bank of Jinshui, on the east side of the hanging urn.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Dong Hu, a retainer of Zhao Jianzi, a doctor of the Jin Kingdom, built a city here, and this place has since been the heart of the east of the river, radiating and controlling the Taiyuan Basin, and sitting in the mountains and rivers of the table. The west can cross the river to threaten Guanzhong, the south is to look at the Central Plains Basin, and the north is to cross the flank of the Taihang Bashan River North, which is taking a high position in North China.

Thousands of years later, Jinyang City has always been one of the centers of North China, all dynasties, in order to compete for this critical place, I don't know how many strong armies are fighting to the death here, I don't know how many heroes and heroes are here or have achieved a lifetime of achievements, or they have fallen into the sand.

And Jinyang City has also been built in successive dynasties, and finally became the scene of Dayi, the capital of Xiong. Especially since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, two generations of the Son of Heaven have been building in Jinyang City, first the Emperor of Heaven expanded the Jinyang Palace built by Gao Huan, the powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and then to the Son of Heaven, and then added the city wall outside the Jinyang Palace, and then connected the Jinyang Palace City Wall and the Jinyang City Wall into one gas, the manpower and material resources spent, invincible, at the time of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the expansion of Jinyang City will be listed as one of the crimes of the Son of Heaven, and the Eastern Expedition to Goryeo, the Grand Canal is dug side by side.

The original intention of the Son of Heaven was that in addition to the national capital Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangdu, and Jinyang would be used as palaces to patrol from time to time in the future, and to take these four capitals as the foundation to dominate the entire Great Sui Empire.

After the expansion of Jinyang Palace was completed, grain, money, soldiers, blades and armor were continuously transported, and the six armies of Yingyang Mansion were newly set up in Jinyang to be guarded.

But although Xiongcheng is on the ground, the country's situation is changing, and the great cause of the Son of Heaven is running to Jiangdu. Before leaving, you can only give in to the family. With Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, as the guardian of Taiyuan County, the palace supervisor of Jinyang, he was in charge of the family foundation that was enough to deter Northern China and accumulated by two generations of Great Sui Emperors.

The Son of Heaven really hoped that one of the Eight Pillars of the Founding Nation, after being endowed with such a powerful position, would be able to share the weal and woe with the Yang family. If not, it is best that this is a family of gate lords, who are caught and pinched in northern China, and their leader Xiaoguo army, assisted by loyal courtiers, quietly watch the situation in the Central Plains, waiting for future opportunities.

And the Son of Heaven also made personnel arrangements as much as possible to contain these powerful families, such as in Mayi County, it was Liu Wuzhou who restrained Wang Rengong. And in Taiyuan County, what restrained Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, was Pei Lian, the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace, who was single-handedly picked up by the Son of Heaven, and Liu Wenjing, the Jinyang Commander - you must know that Liu Wenjing's father was the confidant of the Emperor Emperor back then, and after dying in the battle for the Emperor Emperor, the two generations of the Yang family have always been very fond of Liu Wenjing, and they are almost the identity of the sons and daughters of the confidants.

But Tang Guogong Li Yuan is really too rich in family background, too famous, so there are too many old ones. After being suppressed for all these years, once there is an actual position and a great power, after the Son of Heaven goes to Jiangdu, it will be like a dragon returning to the sea, and it can no longer be copied!

Pei Lin and Liu Wenjing, such ministers who played a leading role, have joined forces, and Liu Wenjing even worked tirelessly to run to the border in the clouds for the great cause of Tang Guogong. This Xiongcheng, the Jinyang Palace, which was built at the cost of countless people in the Great Sui, is already surnamed Li at this moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the terrace of Jinyang Palace, the moon stars are scarce, the clear light is paved on the ground, and the ground paved with bluestone is like water, and the moonlight is like water, fluctuating gently.

A tall young man was standing on the balcony with his sword in his hand, looking up at the moon like an ice tray overhead.

Cheng Terrace is the highest place in Jinyang Palace, there are ten zhang high on the flat ground, at the foot of this young man, it is the 100,000 residents of Jinyang City, it is the 20,000 elite soldiers of the three major Yingyang Mansion of Taiyuan County, it is the surface of the river and mountain in the east of the river, and it is the Great Sui World that is falling apart and waiting for the new master.

But everything in the future belongs to my father and my brother.

This young man is about the same age as Xu Le, only a year or two years older, and in terms of thick eyebrows, it is the typical appearance of the Li family in Longxi, and he has a slight short hair under his lips and chin. It is very different from Xu Le's handsome and handsome appearance.

This young man's name is Li Shimin, who is the second son of Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, who is regarded by the world as a heroic and martial artist, and is too inferior.

When the children of other families were still in Chang'an Luoyang Flying Eagle lackeys and enjoying the shadow of their fathers and ancestors, he was only sixteen years old, and he once followed the general Yun Dingxing and joined the army to rescue the great cause of the emperor who was trapped in Yanmen. I don't know how many people praise it, the Li family's thousand-mile horse is majestic, and it will definitely be a light lintel in the future.

But now Li Shimin is standing on the balcony, depressed.

There is no other reason, Li Yuan's eldest son, after all, is his brother Li Jiancheng.

The Great Sui world fell apart, and the heroes rose up, and the empire that was still dominating the sea more than ten years ago became so weak. Even though Li Shimin has had the ambition to clarify the world since he was a child, he has never been afraid to take risks and make difficulties. But when his father was about to raise troops, his father still gave his greatest trust to his brother.

The three major Yingyang Mansions in Taiyuan County, Li Yuan personally led the second. The other Yingyang Mansion was handed over to his brother Li Jiancheng. That is to say, once the army is raised, he can only follow his father, at most he plays the role of picking up the missing and filling in the gaps, and the real merits of praise are only built by his brother!

Although the military strength is still weak, my father may have recruited strong men and formed an army of their own. But what about the source of soldiers, but what about the wealth? The elder brother built an eagle Yang Mansion as the foundation, and with the support of his father, even if he recruits a few strong men, in addition to taking care of the family and the home, he can also come in handy, what can he take to compete with his brother on the battlefield?

It's just that he was born a little late, will he be subservient to others for the rest of his life?

Li Shimin only felt that the heat in his chest was getting stronger and stronger, even if the cold autumn wind in front of him could not make him cool at all.

Footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and when Li Shimin looked back, he saw a young man coming slowly.

This young man is a few years older than Li Shimin, with a light robe and a slow belt, compared to Li Shimin, who is wearing narrow sleeves, he looks elegant. It is Sun Wuji, the elder brother of Li Shimin's wife, Changsun, who is also the person Li Shimin can trust the most confidant.

When Li Shimin turned around, his eyes were fierce, and in the night, he was so frightened that the eldest grandson Wuji stopped.

Li Shimin restrained his unintentional fierce gaze and calmed his emotions: "How did the discussion go?" ”

Today in the Jinyang Palace, Li Yuan presided over the meeting, and all the henchmen were discussing how to deal with the threat of Wang Rengong of Mayi County. Li Yuan was a little hesitant, wanting to solve the threat of Wang Rengong of Mayi County, and then raised the flag and pointed to Chang'an.

But Li Yuan's subordinates couldn't wait for this founding achievement. They all thought that with Liu Wenjing to contact, Liu Wuzhou was weak and would inevitably take refuge. It is more than enough to contain Wang Rengong with Liu Wuzhou. It is enough for Li Yuan to raise troops, take Chang'an, and then turn back to solve the entangled forces of the two sides of Mayi County.

Li Shimin argued with reason, the Li family wanted to set foot in this world as soon as possible, how could Wang Rengong and other people with a heart not want to? The entanglement of Mayi County will never last, whether Wang Rengong or Liu Wuzhou wins this battle, it is a matter of immediacy! It will never be as everyone expects, and will let Li Yuan raise troops to take Chang'an, and then turn back to deal with them!

In Li Shimin's view, these people, including his brother, are not unaware of this, but the work of founding the country has burned them so much that they are unwilling to face this reality!

During the dispute, Li Shimin was sarcastically ridiculed by his brother Li Jiancheng, and simply left the table angrily and went to the balcony to breathe.

Regarding Li Shimin's questioning, the eldest grandson Wuji just shook his head gloomily, indicating that Li Shimin's opinion was finally ignored.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "Aren't they all unwilling to go north to deal with Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou?" They don't go, I go! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head in shock, Li Yuan was about to raise his troops, and everyone was staring at the victory of Chang'an's founding with red eyes. Now Li Shimin has to deal with Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou in the north, is this preparing to give up competition in the future?

The daughter of the eldest grandson family married Li Shimin, and it was impossible for the eldest grandson family and Li Shimin to be separated. Although Li Shimin is the second son and is naturally in a disadvantageous position, the eldest grandson Wuji still has some extravagant thoughts about Li Shimin's majestic appearance. But this young master can't relax on his own!

Without waiting for the eldest grandson Wuji to persuade him, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and sneered: "Ma Yi two eagles Yang Mansion elite soldiers, the first in the world, since it is determined that Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou will soon be able to distinguish the winner and loser, I am in the north, why can't I accept some Ma Yi elite soldiers, thinking that I am my foundation?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly realized that Li Shimin's idea was here!

He hesitated and asked: "Even if Erlang you collect a part of the elite soldiers of Mayi, Tang Gong will simply leave Erlang to sit in Taiyuan to face the north, so what should I do?" ”

Li Shimin smiled, as if all the depression just now had been thrown out of the clouds: "My brother, can you rest assured that I will lead the elite soldiers of Ma Yi and sit in Taiyuan County?" When the time comes, you don't have to solve the threat of the back road first, and then take me west to Chang'an! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji lightly clapped his hands, he really deserves to be the favored person of the eldest grandson's family!

Li Shimin raised his head to the sky: "I hope that the two people in Mayi County will divide the victory and defeat earlier, but in my opinion, there is no need to wait long!" ”

After sighing with emotion, Li Shimin pulled the eldest grandson Wuji: "Go, go and beg my father to go, let me go to the north of Taiyuan County to Fu, with the future changes of Mayi County, I have left the Taiyuan center, no longer compete with my brother, my father has to give me something!" ”
