Thanks to the help of the horseshoe, Li Yuan and Wang Rengong successfully repelled the Turks, and even chased more than 40 miles and obtained hundreds of war horses. After this battle, the Turkic cavalry did not dare to rashly attack the Central Plains, and the border temporarily stabilized.

When Zhen Zhai'er became more and more popular, Yang Guang issued an edict and ordered Li Yuan to stay in Taiyuan and be the palace supervisor of Jinyang, Li Yuan received the edict and immediately led the army to Taiyuan to take up his post, and sent people to Hedong County to inform Li Jiancheng and let him take Wan and others to Taiyuan County.

In addition to Li Xuanba, who was far away in Xingyang, the family reunited in Jinyang, and after the New Year, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji left again and continued to wander in Hedong County. And Li Shimin knew that the Wan family didn't like him, so he rarely stayed in the house.

Jinyang Ling Liu Wenjing's mansion is located in the most prosperous area of Jinyang City, at this time in the lobby of Liu's mansion, Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing sat opposite each other, their faces full of smiles.

"Your Majesty let the Duke of Tang Guo stay in Taiyuan, and the child's heart can finally be put down." Liu Wenjing raised his glass and said with a smile: "Lord Pei is ready, and now he only needs to wait for Tang Guogong to integrate the army, and then he can start an incident." ”

"Since our majesty has asked my father to stay in Taiyuan, things are not so urgent." Li Shimin drank all the wine in the cup and said: "When my father first arrived in Taiyuan, he first had to win the hearts of the people. ”

"Zhen Zhai'er killed General Pan, the people of Taiyuan hate him to the core, if Tang Guogong can really kill Zhen Zhai'er, the people will be grateful to him, and Tang Guogong will have no worries in the future." Liu Wenjing admired: "I didn't expect that Gongzi had arranged today's situation a few months ago. ”

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile and said, "How can Shimin have such a ability? I thought that if Pan Changwen died in battle, His Majesty would hand Taiyuan into the hands of my father, but I didn't expect that the Turks were offended and my father stayed in Mayi County for several months. ”

"As the saying goes, people are not as good as heaven, and the son doesn't have to take this matter to heart." Liu Wenjing complimented: "With the age of the son, being able to come up with such a plan is enough to convince Wen Jing." ”

"It's been a bit of a delay, but it's not a bad thing." Li Shimin didn't care, and said chicly: "Li Mi defected to Wangangzhai, thinking that he could defeat Zhang Xutuo's army, but he didn't expect to lose repeatedly. If Zhang Xutuo does not die, his father will definitely not agree to raise troops to overthrow the Great Sui. But it's okay this way, and when you deal with Li Mi in the future, it won't be too troublesome. ”

It took Li Shimin a lot of thought to get involved with Pei Lian, but Liu Wenjing was different, he felt that Li Shimin had great ambitions a long time ago, so he did his best to help him. Although Li Shimin was the son of Tang Guogong, he had no power at this time. When he first arrived in Jinyang, he was able to get acquainted with the local magnates, and Liu Wenjing, who was the commander of Jinyang, played a vital role.

"At the beginning, Gongzi sent someone to rescue Li Mi, Wen Jing still felt a little risky, but now it seems that Gongzi's decision is really correct." Li Wenjing was very clear about the situation in Xingyang, and he said with a smile: "Li Mi can defeat Zhang Xutuo, which is already a great thing, and now Zhang Xutuo is trapped in Xingyang, like a tiger in a cage, and life and death are no longer up to him." ”

"It's a shame." Li Shimin didn't smile at all, and sincerely regretted: "If Zhang Xutuo is not so loyal to the imperial court, Shimin is really reluctant to let him be buried." ”

Liu Wenjing thought about what Zhang Xutuo had done in the past few years, and also felt regretful, sighed, and said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, Zhang Xutuo is stubborn, even if he understands this truth, he disdains to be with us." ”

"Why should Brother Wen Jing laugh at himself?" Li Shimin chuckled lightly and said: "The Great Sui has no cure, and it is really sad and lamentable, to pity His Majesty who is in Jiangdu, and to think that everyone in the world is willing to follow him." ”

"It's just self-inflicted." Liu Wenjing said with emotion: "If the world is stable, who is willing to rebel?" When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes flashed and it was fleeting.

The wine and food on the table were not rich, but Li Shimin and Liu Wenjing drank very happily, two pots of wine in their stomachs, Liu Wenjing couldn't help but ask after all: "Childe, Xuanba is still in Xingyang City, how does Childe plan to settle him?" ”

If it weren't for Li Xuanba, how could he lose a talent like the eldest grandson Wuji? Li Shimin has a grudge against Li Xuanba, how can he care if he lives or dies?

"What we are planning is very dangerous, and the time has not yet come, so we must not show a flaw." Li Shimin said lightly: "Xuanba's stay in Xingyang is just right to make His Majesty relax his vigilance." Moreover, Xuanba's identity is special, even if Xingyang is lost, Zhang Xutuo will send someone to send him back to Luoyang in advance, and we don't have to worry about his safety. ”

In fact, Li Shimin longed for Li Yuanba to die in Xingyang, but in order to make himself appear benevolent and righteous, he pretended to have thought of a way out for Li Xuanba. Sure enough, as soon as Li Shimin's voice fell, the admiration in Liu Wenjing's eyes deepened.

The flask was already empty, and Li Shimin began to become uneasy, and he frowned and stared at the door of the lobby, as if waiting for something. Liu Wenjing was familiar with Li Shimin's temperament, and did not speak, quietly waiting with Li Shimin.

After waiting for half an hour, someone finally knocked on the door, Li Shimin suddenly regained his smile and said, "Come in." ”

"Tell my son, Zhen Zhai'er has been tricked and is leading his troops to set up an ambush in the Bird Mouse Valley." As soon as the visitor entered the room, he knelt on the ground and said in a respectful voice.

"Is Zhen Zhai'er suspicious?" Li Shimin replied softly and asked casually.

"After experiencing General Pan's incident, Zhen Zhai'er trusts Li Qu very much." The man replied: "Zhen Zhai'er heard that Tang Guogong was preparing to send troops to recruit him, and at first there was chaos, and later Li Qu told him the news that he had 'finally obtained', and Zhen Zhai'er turned from worry to joy, and did not doubt Li Qu's words at all. ”

"When Zhen Zhai'er finds that 3,000 people have become 30,000 people, the expression on her face will definitely be wonderful." Liu Wenjing quipped, Li Shimin and the person kneeling on the ground laughed, Liu Wenjing thought for a while, and said, "Son, it's time for Wenjing to go and see Tang Guogong." ”

"You're too anxious." Li Shimin stopped: "As a Jinyang Commander, you are full of alcohol, aren't you afraid that your father's military law will deal with you?" ”

"Oops, I almost forgot about it, thank you for reminding me." Liu Wenjing patted his head and said fearfully: "It's not early now, so I can only wait for tomorrow to tell Tang Guogong the good news." ”

"Zhen Zhai'er has been invited into the urn, are you still afraid that he will not be able to escape?" Li Shimin said with a smile: "You don't have to be too anxious, wait for the city gate to open for a while tomorrow, and then go." ”

If the city gate is not opened or has just opened, Liu Wenjing will go to see Li Yuan, Li Yuan will definitely be suspicious, Li Shimin did not miss this detail, so he reminded him.

"Wen Jing understands." Liu Wenjing is not a stupid person, he instantly understood what Li Shimin meant, and responded respectfully, and saw that Li Shimin and the person who reported the news had something to say alone, so he got up and said goodbye with interest, Li Shimin arched his hand and did not keep it.

"Childe, what should Li Qu do?" The man whispered, "Should the villain send him a message and let him leave?" ”

"If he disappears at this time, it is difficult to guarantee that Zhen Zhai'er will not be suspicious." Li Shimin said: "With his cleverness, there should be a way to escape, so don't worry about him for now." ”

"Yes." The kneeling man replied and continued: "The eldest prince has indeed returned to Hedong County, and there is no change for the time being. ”

Li Shimin sneered and said: "Since there is no abnormal movement, it means that you have been discovered, and there is no point in monitoring it anymore, let them all come back." ”
