The sky was full of snow, the earth was frozen, and in the land of Hetao, there was a large army on the snow and rushed to Taiyuan County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are at least 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses, strong soldiers and horses, hurrying forward, the flag is whistling in the north wind, hunting and flying, and the Li character on the commander's banner is very conspicuous.

"General Qiyu, the front is about to arrive in Jinyang City." A general rode over to give a farewell.

"Okay, give the order to go down, hurry up, and strive to enter the city before dusk, you can drink the broth, and each soldier will be rewarded with three taels of wine." Li Yuan was dressed in an iron armor and silver helmet, wearing a red cloak, riding a green horse, and carrying a spear in his hand, which was majestic.

"Whoa!" The general turned around and went to the front to give the order.

At this time, 26-year-old Li Jiancheng and 167-year-old Li Shimin each rode horses to chase after them from behind.

"Father, how long do we have to go?"

"There are still thirty miles to go, although it is not far away, but the road is closed by heavy snow, and the march is slow, and we will arrive before dusk, so that we can all drink and eat meat happily, and then sleep well."

"Father, this transfer is very sudden, and he was transferred directly from Jiangzhou to Jinyang." Li Jiancheng asked.

Li Yuan pondered: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable! ”

Li Shimin was a little speechless, what a sacred heart is unpredictable, too official, there are no outsiders, why should he be so careful when he speaks, he interjected: "Your Majesty must be besieged and frightened by the Turks, so I asked my father to come to Jinyang as soon as possible to guard the town to prevent grassland bandits and Turkic cavalry from coming to fight the grass valley and disturb the territory at the end of the year." ”

Li Yuan's face sank, and he scolded: "What nonsense, how can we wait for courtiers to talk nonsense like this behind our backs?" He turned around and saw that there were indeed no generals or supervisors approaching him, so he relieved himself and glared at Li Er fiercely.

Li Jiancheng said on the side: "Father has shown his might in the past two months, has defeated the rebels of Muduan'er in Longmen, and recruited more than 10,000 people, half a month ago, we just defeated the team of the thief Chai Baochang in Jiangzhou, and reduced its 20,000 people, together, our army has grown, almost close to 50,000 people, this is not a small force, in Shanxi, Hedong, and only by leading the army to Jinyang, can there be enough grain and grass to support, otherwise, the army mutiny, and will defect, it is estimated that the book written by my father will be adopted by the imperial court, and it will be dispatched. ”

Li Yuan's face softened, and he looked at his eldest son with appreciation, feeling that he was stable and mature, and quite had his own temperament, unlike the second child, who was black-bellied, flamboyant, and had a lot of ghost ideas, and did things unreasonably, like to take risks, and was not stable enough.

"Your Majesty has already gone to Jiangdu, thousands of miles away, how can you pass the music so quickly? In fact, this time, I used the relationship between the DPRK and China, and got the approval of the king of Yue who stayed in the eastern capital, and he had auxiliary ministers around him, who could make decisions on some small matters, and moved his father with affection and reason, if so many soldiers and horses were not properly placed and there was not enough food and grass, it was likely that they would turn around and give us a blow, or all of them would flee, and at that time, it would be our masters who would suffer. ”

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin nodded, and finally understood the mystery.

"Father, the world is going to be chaotic right now, this Jinyang is a treasure of feng shui, why don't we take it for ourselves?" Li Shimin said with a grin.

"Nonsense, how can you say such a big rebellious thing, let's eat the king's fortune, share the worries for the king, and always think about serving the court, how can you have the idea of a chaotic minister and a thief, if you talk nonsense, you will be severely punished for your father." Li Yuan snorted coldly, swept around, and rode away.

"Shimin, you're upsetting your father again."

"Hehe, I said this on purpose, every time I see him cautious, looking forward and backward, walking on thin ice, always anxious for him, now the situation is chaotic, the Great Sui is thinning, it can't last long, now so many rebels are fighting against the imperial court, just like the last days of the violent Qin, our Li family has the prestige of the gate valve, and now the soldiers are strong and strong, we should take Jinyang, and raise troops here, recruit heroes, scholars, and gate valves from Hedong and Shanxi to join and do something big." Li Shimin disagreed, he still went his own way, was energetic, and at the age of strong blood and blood, he had great ambitions.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and said: "Second brother, what you think is simple, although the imperial court is dying now, tired of suppressing the rebels, but after all, nominally, it is still the co-lord of the world, and there are not a few loyal monarchs, you see that the rebels everywhere are all poor, those people who can't eat, or the people in the green forest who are idle, robbing their homes, the wealthy are watching, and now whoever shows his head first may be scolded for the notoriety of the traitor, and become an excuse for the wealthy families from all walks of life to raise troops to crusade, under the banner of crusading against you, recruiting troops, and finally, They took advantage of it, and they were famous, and the first gate valve clan to stand up raised troops, but they became the target of public opinion, and my father saw this, so he endured it. ”

"Come on, I'm afraid that my father is too accurate to the name, timid, missed the opportunity, take the lead, although there is a downside, but everything has two sides, if we start first, we can attract more talents, grab more resources, get the support of the people, strength is fundamental, and so we defeat those duplicitous teams, and even really last dominant, you can completely block the mouth of Youyou, it's a big deal, tampering with the history books is it, you can write how you want, and you can shape your father into a wise and martial benevolent lord. But only if you win to the end and become the ultimate winner! Li Shimin's face was full of heroism.

Li Jiancheng sighed lightly, he found that the second brother, who was growing up, had gone far from his thinking, and his ideas were often the opposite, whimsical ideas, good use of tricks, more pragmatic, and unscrupulous.

"Second brother, you and I both know our father's character, let's say a few words, don't deliberately be angry with him, if you are punished again, I won't intercede for you."

Li Shimin's face collapsed when he heard the confinement, he was really worried that he would be locked up in the house and not let him out for several days.

"Big brother, I really want to be like Na Luo Cheng, take a soldier out, go out alone, suppress the rebellious army, don't rely on the shadow of my ancestors, and do some feats, but my father always doesn't let go, and is willing to let me do it, and we are too strict."

Li Jiancheng soothed: "Dad is for our good, after all, you and I grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, although I have learned martial arts and a little bit of the art of war, but I have not endured hardships, going out alone, it is too dangerous, and now the chaos is turbulent, or safety, Luo Cheng has learned kung fu from masters, you have also seen, he is full of spear skills and martial arts, and now I am afraid that he is not under Yuwen Chengdu, don't compare with him." ”

Li Shimin sighed lightly, knowing that his kung fu only practiced dark energy, far inferior to those fierce generals such as Shi Wansui, He Ruobi, Zhang Xutuo, and Yu Weiluo, and muttered: "I don't know how the third brother Xuanba learned in Ziyang Palace, he has been gone for more than ten years, and when he goes down the mountain, he will definitely be able to match Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng." ”
