Li Shimin and Xiuning soldiers and horses merged into one, attracting many green forest heroes in the land of Guanlong, and the rebel army team joined to launch a general attack on the Jingyang defense line. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Li Xiuning inspected here for several months, and Ma Sanbao successfully plotted against a partial general of Jingyang's defense, he got a grasp of the virtual reality and flaws of the defensive line, and when he launched an attack, he carried out a key attack on the weak points, and at the same time combined the inside and outside, and the entire Xiongguan was completely captured in two days.

Li Xiuning suggested: "Second brother, let's send troops to Daxing City as soon as possible, take it down as soon as possible, my Li family will be able to take the lead, at present, Xue Ju is leading troops from Tianshui County to attack Tang Bi in Fufeng County, and wants to attack Jingzhao County, and the ambition is also in Daxing City, we want to take Xue Ju before entering the city first." ”

Li Shimin sighed softly: "Little sister, this point, my father and I both know that this time we sent elite troops to Fenglingdu and bypass Tongguan, which is also based on this consideration, we must attack Daxing City first, control West Kyoto City, and command the world." However, we must seek stability in a war, and we must not rush into success, blindly and rashly, because once we are encircled, we will be alone. ”

Li Xiuning said his thoughts: "Second brother, Xiuning still has a concern, if we can't attack for a long time, the troops are outside the city, and the Xue Ju army is advancing behind us, and the enemy is on our back, how should we deal with it?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head: "No, because Xue Ju is attacking Tang Bi, it will take a certain amount of time." And he didn't dare to press all the armies and give it a go, because behind him was Luo Cheng's brave military horse, and he was also worried about being attacked by the enemy on his back, so Xue Ju sent an army to attack on the premise of beware of Luo Cheng, and his sharpness weakened. ”

Li Xiuning stroked the hair on his forehead and asked, "Then will Luo Cheng also come to attack Daxing?" ”

Li Shimin analyzed: "There is no sign for the time being, and Luo Cheng gathers heavy troops in the northwest, it takes a certain run-in period, he wants to grab Daxing City with us, from Jincheng to Daxing City, it is thousands of miles away, through the counties of Longyou, as well as Xue Ju, Tang Bi, Liang Shidu's blockage, the time is definitely not as fast as ours, and when he passes the test, he will kill Daxing City, conservatively estimated, it will take a few months, this is still a smooth journey, seeing that it has entered October, late autumn, a truce in winter, not suitable for marching, so, He estimated that he would have to wait for the beginning of spring next year to send troops, which created favorable conditions for us to take Daxing City. ”

Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, second brother, for some reason, I'm really worried about Luo Cheng's soldiers and horses, I feel that in the future, he will become the mortal enemy of our Li family, after all, our Li family raised troops against Sui, but he is the marshal of the pacification of the rebels, and he will definitely come to King Qin to encircle and suppress my Li Tang army." ”

Li Shimin's face sank, and he questioned Luo Cheng: "Hmph, do you think Luo Chengcheng has no objection?" He has nearly 200,000 heavy troops, it is said that he has eliminated Li Rail, integrated the eight counties of Hexi and Longxi, and after taking Lintao and Dunhuang counties, it is the ten counties in the northwest, as if he has become the king of the northwest, the court will be suspicious of him, and it is certain to send people to divide power, and when the time comes, he will inevitably rebel. ”

Li Xiuning asked puzzledly: "Second brother, are you so sure?" ”

Li Shimin smiled slyly: "Men can understand men best, especially talented and ambitious men, he is now under the banner of respecting Sui, but it is just to accumulate a good reputation of loyalty and patriotism, hum, wait, once we capture Daxing City and control the acting king, we will use the tone of the court to find Luo Cheng back to the capital and divide the military power, he will definitely disagree, when the time comes, we will declare to the outside world that Luo Cheng is rebelling, how to decide, the prince is in our hands, naturally my Li family said it, this is the advantage of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Back then, Cao Cao went around in the name of the imperial court, and all of them were denounced as anti-thieves and rogues, but in fact, he himself was the biggest anti-thief! ”

"When the time comes, Luo Cheng will not obey, and I, Li Tang Army and Luo Jiajun, will completely break and fight in the Guanlong area, but Luo Cheng has led his troops to have many amazing achievements, who can subdue him?"

Although Li Er was a little confident, but compared with Luo Cheng's record, he was obviously just a fledgling, and he was also worried, for a while, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the seventeen-year-old second sister with a smile, slim, bright and delicate, and said with a smile: "Little sister, if we occupy Daxing City, we can recruit An Luocheng, what do you think?" ”

"Zhao'an? But didn't the second brother say just now, Luo Cheng also has antipathy, how could he agree to Zhao'an? ”

"If Luo Cheng marries my Li family and Luo Cheng becomes his father's concubine, perhaps, he will change his mind."

Li Xiuning frowned, somewhat unhappy, after all, he was taking her to marry, sacrificing her happiness, with the heroic character of a young man who practiced martial arts and was heroic, how could Li Xiuning be willing to give in?

Even Chai Shao, whom Li Yuan values, Li Xiuning felt some resistance to her parents' arranged marriage, and was even said to have traded her.

"No, I don't agree, I have to marry whoever I want, if it is a victim of family politics, I would rather die than marry."

Li Shimin looked at the little sister with a heroic face, a little angry, and didn't dare to continue joking anymore, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, little sister, the second brother said the wrong thing, apologize to you, and don't mention this matter again." ”

Li Xiuning turned her anger into laughter, usually she admires the second brother's adaptability and ambition, she can play together when she is young, and she is not as steady and boring as the eldest brother Jiancheng, so she has a good relationship with Li Er, and she doesn't want to stiffen the relationship between brother and sister because of a few words.

Although Li Shimin didn't say it, he was thinking in his heart that at a critical time, he could persuade his father to marry Luo Cheng, and if he was drawn into the Tang army camp, it would be much easier to pacify Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, Li Mi, and Jiangdong.

Otherwise, even if they occupy Daxing City, can the Li family withstand the overwhelming Sui army in the northwest? There is no natural danger and Xiongguan in the west of Guanlong, and if Longyou is lost, Xijing will be completely exposed, like a millet in the fire, and the situation will still be endangered.
