Since yesterday, Li Yuan has not left the Taiji Hall.

The second son of the militia, who he pinned his greatest hopes on, defeated Huoyi, and the 50,000 army was wiped out, and even the people were captured. And then the Qin army was like a bamboo, sweeping in Hedong, just a few days, half of the counties in Hedong all joined Luo Cheng.

Li Cunxiao burned the Pujin Bridge, and then divided his troops to garrison Tongguan and Tongzhou, guarding these two gates of Guanzhong. However, Cunxiao only had 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus the 10,000 defeated soldiers who withdrew from Hedong, and it was only 40,000.

On the contrary, it was Luo Cheng who completely annexed Henan and Hedong, showing him a trend of being sandwiched between two sides.

What's more, even Wuguan has long been lost, and now Li Yuan has also divided his troops to garrison Lantian to prevent the Qin army from entering the pass from the southeast.

Documents from all over the world flew into the Taiji Palace like snowflakes, and almost every one of them was stamped with the seal of the urgent report.

Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an in Lantian, even sent seven or eight urgent reports a day, saying that the Qin army in Wuguan was constantly moving and was constantly increasing its troops, and now there were at least 50,000 soldiers and horses gathered, and they could enter Guanzhong at any time.

Li Xiaogong of Tongguan was also anxious, saying that now with 40,000 soldiers and horses, he has to guard both Tongguan and Tongzhou, and it is too difficult to guard two gates.

In particular, Tongguan, the most important gateway, is now only 30,000 people to guard, not only to guard the new city of Tongguan by the Yellow River, but also to guard the old pass of the Han Dynasty, and at the same time to guard the southeast forbidden valley trail twelve cities, the army is stretched, especially two successive defeats, now the army's heart is shaken, morale plummeted.

Garrisoned in the same state is Li Xiaochang, but he has few soldiers and weak, although the Pujin Bridge burned, but the Qin army also after sweeping the east of the river, began to assemble in the Puban on the opposite bank, although there is no bridge here, but the river is wide, the water flow is gentle, it is an excellent ferry, the Qin army may cross the river at any time to attack.

"To make matters worse!"

Li Yuan couldn't help sighing again and again, first the eldest son Jiancheng was defeated by Hongnong, and then the second son was defeated at Linfen, and now Li Tang has lost all the land outside the pass, and the only soldiers and horses in his hand that can be drawn are Chai Shaojun of Longyou.

Li Yuan rubbed his somewhat sore eyes and continued to pace in the hall, pacing on the huge map of the world that was spread out in the hall, hoping to find one or two ways to deal with the enemy.

The two eunuchs cautiously entered, placed a stack of the latest recitals on the emperor's desk, and quietly withdrew.

Li Yuan glanced at these documents with a hint of hope in his eyes.

He walked over and picked up one.

As a result, when I opened it, I was disappointed.

This is also bad news, Deng Shiluo, a native of Xicheng County in Hanzhong, led the barbarians to raise troops, beheaded the Tang Dynasty Taishou County Cheng and other officials sent by Li Yuan, captured the two cities of Jinchuan and Ankang, and there is a tendency to continue to expand.

Xicheng County is the upper reaches of the Han River, and its downstream is adjacent to Fangling County, before the Qin general Shan Xiongxin has captured Fangling, and now Xicheng is not guarded, this is really a house leak that happened to rain overnight.

Pick up another note.

Li Xiaoji, the king of Yong'an, Jiang Baoyi, the general of the right military guard, Wang Jian, and Lu Min, the commander, led the army to attack the Shuofang Liang division, but they were defeated in an ambush, and the whole army was wiped out, and more than 10,000 men and horses did not return.

Seeing this news, Li Yuan couldn't help but shake his body a few times.

Li Xiaoji died, this is still the first clan county king killed in the Tang Dynasty, before the king of Lujiang Li Ming and the king of Zhao Li Shimin were only captured, and now the king of Yong'an Li Xiaoji was directly defeated and died, and the two governors and a general are gone.

After Liang Shidu defeated Li Xiaoji, he took advantage of the situation to attack Lingwu.

And Yun Dingxing, who was stationed in Lingwu, led the army north to Jiuyuan to defend Luo Siye at this time.

"Jiuyuan, don't have bad news." Li Yuan secretly prayed in his heart.

Open another one.

Bad news again.

Ran Zhao, the leader of the barbarians in Badong County, saw the turmoil in the world, and also killed officials and rebelled. Before all parts of Bashu were attached to the Guanzhong Imperial Court, Li Yuan assigned his cronies to take over.

After these new assassins and county orders took office, they were very loyal to Li Yuan, because of the successive wars, and the money and grain in Guanzhong were in urgent need, so these new county commanders of the assassin history in Bashu were very attentive to the collection of grain and grass soldiers, and if the people could not hand it over, they would be locked and whipped.

And Ran Zhao and other barbarians, in the past, they were actually quite carefree, and the Sui Dynasty's policy towards them was still relatively lenient, as long as you are honestly loyal to the Son of Heaven, the court has no requirements for them, and you can pay tribute to some local products every year without making trouble.

But now the officials sent by Li Yuan are eager to scrape the ground because they want to send money, food, soldiers, and all kinds of materials to Chang'an.

The Han people in the government are not enough to make up money, food and materials, so even the barbarians in the mountains will not let go.

ordered them to pay money and grain, and also sent young and strong people to transport grain and fight, and if the barbarians did not obey at all, they would be caught in front of the government and displayed in front of the public, which provoked the barbarians to resent.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance.

As a result, there were barbarian actions such as Deng Shihan in Xicheng and Ran Zhao in Badong, and only then did they ascend to the heights, and the followers were like clouds.

Li Tang is in the Bashu area, in fact, although he is nominally ruled, but in fact there is no foundation, before Li Yuan supported Yang Yu to fight the banner of the Sui Dynasty, it was better, but now that he is the emperor himself, there are still many people in Bashu who are secretly dissatisfied, not to mention that now Li Yuan has even suffered defeat, and Luo Cheng has constantly written letters to the officials and scholars of Bashu, all kinds of promises to seal officials, and the pro-army Governor's Mansion has also increased its efforts to operate here.

As a result, now Bashu is like a kite with a broken line, more and more out of Chang'an's control.

"Deng Shiluo and Ran Zhaoze, they are just brutal, and they dare to take advantage of the fire to rob!"

Li Yuan scolded angrily.

But after scolding, Li Yuan couldn't do anything, now the focus is Guanzhong, and Bashu is powerless.

Originally, Xue hoped to send troops and horses from Bashu to rescue, but now it seems that there is no hope.

He couldn't help but tighten the big fur on his body again, and he didn't sleep for two consecutive days, he couldn't bear it anymore, Li Yuan, who already had the title of mother-in-law, had more wrinkles on his face, full of folds on his face, plus gray hair, he was really like an old woman.

If it hadn't been completed, maybe Xiaogong would have entered Bashu a long time ago, stabilized the southwest for him, and prevented chaos there, so that there could be stable money and grain transported into Guanzhong to supply the army.

"Move the capital."

At this time, Li Yuan suddenly remembered the idea of moving the capital again.

It's just that Nanzheng in Hanzhong is no longer suitable, Nanzheng's downstream neighbor is Xicheng County, and not far from the south is Badong County. Now that the two counties have rebelled, how can Nanzheng in Hanzhong still go.

There were still a few remaining folds on the table, but Li Yuan didn't dare to look at them anymore.

"It's out of the water!"

Suddenly, a voice came from not far outside the hall, and Li Yuan's lips trembled.

He walked quickly to the front of the temple and pushed the door open.

The door of the hall was pushed open, and the summer breeze outside the door blew in, and he was shocked to see that the front dynasty of the Taiji Palace was burning a sky-high fire under the starry sky, and the fire spread rapidly, and soon illuminated half of the sky.

The Taiji Palace has become a mess, the forbidden army and guards of the guards are running around in a panic, and the palace maids and eunuchs on duty are also running around, and there are shouts everywhere, some shouting to fight the fire, some go to fetch water, and some run outside the palace like headless flies.

"How could it be on fire?" Li Yuan stood in front of the hall and thought quickly.

At this time, the guards of the brigade came, "Your Majesty, there is water in the palace, please leave the palace for a while." ”

"Which fire was it?"

"It seems to be over there in the Chengqian Palace."

Li Yuan, with the support of the guards, hurriedly went to the harem, left the palace from the Xuanwu Gate, and went to Beiyuan for temporary refuge, the air was full of pungent smoke smell, and there were fire ashes everywhere, Li Yuan was extremely embarrassed.
