In December, Li Shiji joined up with Luo Yibing, camped south of the river, and stationed his troops north of the water.

Liu Heimin came to challenge many times, but Li Shiji was not willing to fight, but he sent another surprise soldier to cut off Liu Heimin's grain transportation line.

Cheng Mingzhen used more than 1,000 people to intercept the grain ship, sink the grain carrier, and burn the grain truck.

The two sides fought back and forth for dozens of battles over the grain route, and the Tang army won more and lost less, and Liu Heimin's food became increasingly tight.

On December 11, Liu Heimin appointed Gao Yaxian as the left servant, and a grand banquet was held in the army.

Li Shiji led his troops to approach Liu Heimin's military camp, Gao Yaxian took advantage of the drunkenness, chased and said a word, Li Shiji's general Pan Mao stabbed him off the horse, Gao Yaxian's entourage arrived after him, helped Gao Yaxian back to the camp, and Gao Yaxian died before he arrived at the camp.

On the 13th, the generals of the Tang army advanced again and approached Liu Heimin's camp, and Li Shiji's general Pan Mao was captured by Dou Jiande's general Wang Xiaohu.

Li Shiji and Liu Heimin held each other for more than 60 days.

At this time, Li Shiji speculated that Liu Heimin's food had been eaten up and he would definitely come to the decisive battle, so he ordered people to build a dam upstream to cut off the river, and said to the officials guarding the embankment: "When I am engaged in battle with the enemy, I will break the embankment." ”

On the 26th, Liu Heimin led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to cross the water to the south, approaching the Tang army camp and array, Li Yin personally led the elite cavalry to attack Liu Heimin's cavalry, defeated Liu's army, and trampled Liu's infantry with horses.

Liu Heimin led the troops to fight to the death, from noon to dusk, several confrontations, Liu Heimin's troops could no longer hold on. Wang Xiaohu said to Liu Heimin: "Our intelligent physical strength has been exhausted, we should flee quickly." ”

Wang Xiaohu and Liu Heimin fled first, and the rest of the soldiers didn't know that the leader had fled, and they continued to fight.

The officials of the Tang army guarding the embankment broke open the embankment, and the water suddenly poured into the battlefield, the water was more than a zhang deep, Liu Heimin's army was defeated, more than 10,000 people were killed, thousands were drowned, Liu Heimin and Fan Yuan and other 200 people fled into the Turks on horseback.

The Hebei region was then pacified by Li Shiji.

……

When Li Shiji's re-pacification of Hebei reached Chang'an, down to the ordinary people, up to the emperor Li Yuan, they were all extremely happy, and the whole Chang'an was boiling.

At this point, looking at it, there are not many enemies left in the Tang Dynasty, what kind of wind and waves can Xu Yuanlang, Lin Shihong, Liang Shidu and others toss?

This world will definitely be Datang's!

However, because Liu Heimin was pacified, the contradictions between Li Jiancheng, Li Yin and Li Shimin's brothers were revealed again.

At this time, Li Shimin had also returned from Guanbei more than a month ago, and he had defended the Turks for several months, because winter was approaching, and Jieli Khan gave the order to withdraw his troops without a breakthrough.

On the evening of December 28, Li Jiancheng invited the brothers Li Yin, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji to a banquet to celebrate the full moon of his youngest son.

Li Yin and his ministers felt that they were reluctant to participate in the Hongmen banquet at this time, but they didn't expect Li Jiancheng to come to invite him in person, and they also recalled the past with Li Yin.

Back then, after Li Yin went down to Cuiyun Peak, it was Li Jiancheng who personally led people to welcome Li Yin back to the Tang State Mansion; Back then, it was Li Jiancheng who asked Li Yin to come to his official position as the commander of the navy; Back then, the two were also very close, no different from ordinary brothers; ...... year

After the dusty memories for many years were mentioned, Li Yin was also full of emotion in his heart, and the plan he originally wanted to implement was also loosened.

Although the brotherly love at that moment was quickly cleared out of Li Yin's mind, he couldn't find an invitation to refuse Li Jiancheng, so he agreed.

However, when Li Yin, Yu Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin and others walked into the East Palace and came to the banquet place, they immediately regretted their decision to go to the banquet.

Because in the entire banquet venue, except for Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and a group of officials of the East Palace, there was no one else, and the atmosphere on the field felt inappropriate no matter how you looked at it.

Li Shimin's expression was not very good, only Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were dressed lightly, but the excitement in Li Yuanji's eyes flashed and seemed to indicate that his heart was not calm.

Li Jiancheng seemed to be aware of Li Yin and Li Shimin's uneasiness, and laughed: "Tonight is your nephew's full moon banquet, so I won't invite other idlers." ”

Li Yin sat down in his place, "Then why didn't you invite Zhiyun?" ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, because Li Zhiyun's sense of existence was extremely low, Li Jiancheng forgot about him a little, so he didn't invite him.

Li Yuanji interjected: "The eldest brother has sent someone to call him, but he can't insist on coming, the eldest brother can't be strong!" ”

After Li Yin heard this, he didn't say anything more.

After the banquet began, Li Jiancheng picked up his wine glass and wanted to drink with everyone.

Cheng Yanjin secretly shook his head at Li Yin and persuaded Li Yin not to drink.

Li Yin said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient, this king has his own plans." ”

After Cheng Yanjin heard this, he relaxed a little.

"For the sake of the strength of my Datang and the prosperity of the Li family, our brothers drank this cup together!" Li Jiancheng finished loudly, and drank all the wine in the cup.

Li Yin also made a drinking gesture while Li Jiancheng was drinking, but in fact, he secretly sprinkled the wine on the wide sleeved robe.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, after seeing that Li Yin and Li Shimin had drunk, they glanced at each other meaningfully.

After a few breaths, Li Yin's face became very ugly for a while, holding his lower abdomen in his hand, his expression was distorted, as if he was in great pain, and Li Shimin directly spit out a mouthful of blood.

"King Jin, what's wrong with you!" "King Qin, what's wrong with you" Li Yin and Li Shimin's cronies stepped forward to ask one after another.

"Go home!" Li Yin gritted his teeth and instructed Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin, and Li Shimin also gave the same orders to Qin Shubao and the others.

After hearing this, Wei Chi Jingde and Cheng Yanjin immediately pulled out their weapons and helped Li Yin to walk outside the East Palace.

Li Yuanji said to Li Jiancheng at this time: "Big brother, do you want to let the armor do it?" ”

Li Jiancheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "The guards of the King of Jin and the Qin Wangfu are very brave, our people are not necessarily opponents, since they have been poisoned, there is no need to make another move, besides, if the troops are moved, we will not be able to explain." ”

Li Yuanji heard that what Li Jiancheng said was reasonable, so he did not dissuade him, and let Li Yin and Li Shimin leave the East Palace under the escort of his personal guards.

Li Yin walked out of the East Palace, and after returning to the carriage, his expression immediately returned to normal, and there was no longer the painful expression he had before, and his acting skills were so superb that people couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's go home!" Li Yin said coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent......
