The autumn wind is slaughtered, the yellow leaves are flying, Tang King Li Yuan looked at the ministers on the Wude Palace, speechless, Dou Liang laid down Fufeng County, and it was a great joy to get 100,000 soldiers, but thinking that Zhuge Quan was in the battle of Tianshui, he broke 100,000 with 50,000 and destroyed Xue Ju, which made people feel depressed. Li Yuan couldn't help but slap his palm on the desk next to him, where did Yang Chong get such an accurate vision, Li Shimin, Li Jing, Zhuge Quan, these characters who were commented on by Yang Chong many years ago, really all became famous generals.

The ministers only felt their hearts jumping, and the chief minister of the Great Prime Minister's Mansion Shi, the Duke of Wei Guo, Pei Lian, slowly spoke: "King Tang doesn't have to be irritable, although Luoyang's performance in the past two months can be called shocking, Yang Tong, the king of Yue, is called the emperor, Wagang Li Mi, Hebei Dou Jiande, and Hexi Yang Chong have successively called the ministers, and in the blink of an eye, Chang'an is embattled. But that's just an illusion, Li Mi and Dou Jiande will never listen to Wang Shichong, and I believe that Wang Shichong will not be willing to see Yang Chong conquer Chang'an. ”

Li Jiancheng, the prince of the world, agreed: "Now we can send someone to Luoyang and say that Wang Shichong will form an alliance with us, so that we can deal with Yang Chong with all our strength, and Wang Shichong will deal with Li Mi wholeheartedly." ”

The Hexi Army had made full contact with the Tang Army from the north and west, threatening Chang'an, and Yang Chong's wolf ambitions were obvious to passers-by; Li Yuan nodded and said: "Shimin has gone north several times, although he has won many times, but the fish club is very stable, and the Bird Mouse Valley has always been difficult to overcome, I have discussed with Shimin, and I will give Taiyuan to Liu Wuzhou, and through Liang Shidu and Liu Wuzhou, lure the Turkic army to attack Yang Chong." Yuanji: They should have withdrawn from Taiyuan five days ago. ”

This is Li Shimin's idea, to survive with a broken arm, with Song Jingang defecting to Yang Chong, Taiyuan is already a lonely city, reinforcements are meaningless, it is better to get benefits from Liu Wuzhou through exchange. Once Liu Wuzhou gets Taiyuan, sooner or later he will attack Yang Chong's army on three sides and contain Yang Chong's army.

The ministers in the palace understood the truth after thinking about it, and Zhao Cijing, the squire of the military department, came out and asked: "Qin Guogong suggested that Qi Guogong retreat to Shangdang County and Changping County. ”

Zhao Cijing is Li Yuan's son-in-law, and Li Yuan said with relief: "Zhao Shilang is right, it is these two places that can not only ensure the safety of Shimin's flanks, but also threaten Hebei and Luoyang. Shimin also suggested that Taifuqing Yuwenxin comforted Shandong, Taichangqing Zheng Yuanshou went to Nanyang, and Shannan comforted Ma Yuangui to Jingzhou. ”

There is nothing wrong, distant and close attacks, there are Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong, Zhu Can and other slightly inferior heroes in Shandong and Nanyang, if they can be used by Li Yuan, they can form a flanking attack on Luoyang; If Zheng Yuanshou can persuade the Xingyang Zheng family to fully support Li Yuan, then the whole pattern will be turned upside down. Yu Wenxin was still in Taiyuan, Zheng Yuanshou and Ma Yuangui immediately came out of the ranks, saying that they were confident to complete the task.

It's that Li Jiancheng and Pei Lian's faces are a little ugly, Li Shimin proposed such a grand plan, and he didn't discuss it with the two at all; Li Yuan's attitude is even more incomprehensible, a person who is like dough on weekdays, is so casual when he wants to be casual. What will this matter become in the eyes of other courtiers, and they will think that Li Jiancheng is inferior to Li Shimin in front of Li Yuan.

Yang Gongren said unhurriedly: "King Tang, Turkic is a problem. Once the Turks reap the benefits of going south, I am afraid that it will be difficult to retreat to the outside of the Seychelles, and they cannot be regarded as allies. Besides, Yang Chong began to trade with Dubi since he occupied Zhangye, and over the years, the two have become like allies, and their respective strength has risen sharply, and Dubi is unlikely to agree to war with Yang Chong. ”

Yang Gongren said very implicitly, but his attitude was clear, just one meaning, he did not approve of cooperating with the Turks, even tacitly attacking Yang Chong. Li Yuan's face suddenly became gloomy, and Xiao Zao, the secretary of the Criminal Department, hurriedly came out of the queue and turned around for Yang Gongren and said: "King Guan is afraid that under the expansion of the Turks, he will repeat the old things of Liu Yuan in the Western Jin Dynasty. Once Yang Chong was defeated by Shibi Khan, from the Western Regions to Taiyuan were all Turkic lands, and if Yang Chong had some people to cooperate with the Turks, Chang'an would be in danger. ”

Xiao Zao poured a basin of sewage on Yang Chong, Li Yuan's mood was much better, and he said with a smile: "You Aiqing don't have to worry, when that time comes, the people of the Central Plains will definitely rise up to resist, and we just use the people's will to unify the Central Plains." Besides, a decisive battle with the Turks in Hedong and other places can minimize the role of cavalry, which is beneficial to us. ”

Knowing that Li Yuan was talking nonsense, the ministers didn't have the heart to come out to discuss, the Hexi army was so strong, Yang Chong had no last resort, there were no Turks, and Chang'an had no confidence to win at all. Li Jiancheng thought of Li Xiuning and asked, "Do you have any way to let the county lord of Pingyang come back?" ”

After Li Yuan became the queen of Tang, Li Xiuning had an additional title of Pingyang County Lord, and Duhu usurped the column and said: "The Pingyang County Lord has now lost his freedom, and there are only two ways to do it, one is to exchange with Yang Chong, and the other is to send someone to rescue." ”

Pei Lin muttered: "Exchange is not advisable, we have too many people on Yang Chong's side, and the only way to rescue is to rescue us." Zhao Guogong, how about leaving this matter to you? ”

Duhu Yu really wants to kick Pei Lone, is this kind of thing something that people like himself who are outside the inner circle can participate in? It's okay to be successful, but if you fail, you won't be said to be dead by the imperial historians. Li Jiancheng saved Duhu in time: "There are still some people in Hexi who can let Zhen Xueqing help Zhao Guogong and follow the path of Jiang Fei and Cui Yao." I heard that the second brother exchanged 100,000 yuan for the eldest grandson Wuji, so we might as well change our thinking. ”

Li Jiancheng obviously made some efforts to rescue Li Xiuning, and Li Yuan agreed: "It will be handed over to Zhao Guogong and Zhen Pavilion Master." ”

His Royal Highness was in a commotion, and most people had never heard of Li Shimin's exchange for the eldest grandson Wuji, Pei Lin was stunned and said: "Where did King Qin get 100,000 guan?" ”

Li Jiancheng kept his mouth shut, and Li Yuan could only order: "Xu Shixu, you say." ”

Xu Shixu is an old man who followed Li Yuan to raise troops, and is now Sima of the Right Mansion, responsible for military intelligence spying, and when he heard this, he had no choice but to come out and say: "The King of Qin sent a letter to Yang Chong, and after the negotiation was completed, the 100,000 yuan was not paid, and the King of Qin made an IOU, and Yang Chong released the person and handed it over in Longquan County." ”

The ministers were dumbfounded, this Yang Chong is a fool, he was deceived by King Qin with a few words, and he was released with an IOU, no, Yang Chong is by no means a fool, the key is in that letter. Pei Lin asked, "General Xu, do you know the content of that letter?" ”

Xu Shixu shook his head, what kind of person is Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who can let me know the content of that letter?
