Since ancient times, the king has been alone, and Li Xuanba has been an orphan for 20 years and is tired of being lonely.

In addition to fame, life experience and other factors, there is another reason why he gave up the throne at his fingertips, that is, he is unwilling to lock up the high walls.

When the world is peaceful, play chess with the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others every day, or compete with Luo Shixin, Yuwen Chengdu and others, no matter how bad it is, you can take Yang Ling and Shizuka around to play, isn't this much happier than being an emperor?

It's a pity that since Li Xuanba went to Jiangdu, there are very few people who dare to really treat him as a friend, even Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling, who have followed him for several years, are much more respectful when they speak than when they were in Luoyang. It is a good thing to have a difference between respect and inferiority, but it is not what Li Xuanba wants.

Far away from the court, Li Xuanba missed the days of the Tang State Mansion very much, so he tried to be as easy-going as possible.

After chatting for a long time, Liang Xiao's face was pale, and he sat there silently, his injuries were not light, and his words would affect the wounds. Li Qijian stood behind Liang Xiao, like a statue without joy or sorrow, without any sense of existence.

Li Jiuzhi and Fang Yizhi's eyes were bright, because they had learned a lot from Li Xuanba's words. And the rest of the people were all reverent, as if they were seeing a god.

Li Xuanba couldn't help but sigh, the emperor is difficult, and the ministers are not easy! It's not easy to want others to treat him as an ordinary person.

"Childe, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us to hide from him?" After a moment of silence, Li Jiuzhi said softly, "Why bother to put yourself in a dangerous situation just to put yourself in danger? ”

Li Yuan abolished the king and became self-reliant, and Yang Yu's life and death did not affect the overall situation at all, but Li Shimin still poisoned him, and it was in front of the envoys of the Southern Sui, which was undoubtedly slapping Li Xuanba in the face.

Li Xuanba's temper is very bad, someone hit him on the left cheek, and he won't put his face up again. His idea was simple: fight back.

"He is too busy to take care of himself now, even if he knows that the war horse is lost, he can't get out, besides, when he learns the news here, we will already be gone." Li Xuanba smiled indifferently. said: "Could it be that you have been here for a long time and are reluctant to leave?" ”

The winter is cold, the summer is hot, the ghost is willing to stay here all the year round, Li Jiuzhi has changed from a green boy to a strong man with a dark face, and there is no doubt that he will not have the slightest nostalgia for this land.

"Give up Liyang Mountain, where to find a more suitable place?" Li Jiuzhi said calmly: "As long as you can prepare a steady stream of war horses for your son, what's the harm if the villain suffers a little?" ”

"I know what you want." Li Xuanba was deeply moved. walked up to Li Jiuzhi and patted him on the shoulder: "You have done enough, this batch of war horses is enough to support the end of the troubled times, if you can't dominate the country within five years, then the Great Sui will really die." ”

Five years was enough for more than half of the people in the Great Sui to die, and the Turks were eyeing the Central Plains. It will inevitably take advantage of the chaos to enter the customs, who can stop it at that time?

It's been a busy day. Everyone was also tired, chatted for an hour or so, and went back to the house to rest.

Li Xuanba's back was only a skin injury, but he couldn't lie down, so he could only lie on the bed, seriously planning for the future. He was tired. However, the joy of receiving thousands of war horses made him extremely excited, and he was not sleepy at all.

Chiyan has been with Li Xuanba for three years and is gradually getting old. Xiao Buyi sent a new mount at the right time, which made Li Xuanba very happy.

Lao Ji is in the bush, with ambitions for thousands of miles, Chiyan can still fight, even stronger than most ordinary war horses, Li Xuanba is naturally reluctant to abandon it.

It's like someone gave Li Xuanba a Porsche, drove it, and suddenly got a Lamborghini, even if Li Xuanba likes Lamborghini again, it is impossible to throw away the Porsche as a scrap. But Li Xuanba has a lot of people around him, and everyone is worth giving, but no matter who he gives it to, it will be unfair to others.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xuanba had a flash of inspiration, since no one could send it, it was better to return it to its original owner.

Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, and all the elite soldiers and generals were captured by Wang Shichong, and only Xu Shiji escaped because he guarded Liyang.

escaped the first day of the first month, but could not escape the fifteenth, the defeat of the Wagang army has been decided, the army is disheartened, Ren Xu Shiji has great ability, and it is impossible to hold Liyang Cang.

According to historical records, Dou Jiande captured Liyangcang, but did not kill Xu Shiji, but let him defect to the Tang Dynasty. Of course, this is just the original history, with Li Xuanba here, he Xu Shiji doesn't want to go anywhere.

Li Lin and Li Song had already gone to join the eldest grandson Wuji under Li Xuanba's order, and Li Xuanba believed that with the ability of the eldest grandson Wuji, he would definitely be able to leave Xu Shiji. Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Li Jing have been loyal to Li Xuanba, and now leaving Xu Shiji is equivalent to cutting off one of Li Shimin's arms, Li Xuanba lay on the bed, and couldn't help but be proud.

However, Li Xuanba did not despise Li Shimin because of this, and the matter of Qiaoshan horse bandits kept him awake all the time. Whether it is Xiao Buyi or Li Yi, Li Shimin has arranged it very properly, and he has made their minds clear.

Xiao Buyi is ambitious, but he is forced by the growing strength of the Tang Dynasty, so he can only express his loyalty through Li Yi. And although Li Yi died tragically under Li Xuanba's long knife, he was able to be deeply trusted by Li Shimin, and he was definitely not an easy person.

Li Xuanba believed that Li Yi knew that he was at odds with Li Shimin, and Li Yi was willing to surrender, and his purpose was not simple.

Regarding Li Yi's thoughts, Li Xuanba guessed well. The last assassination was forced by Li Yi, he originally wanted to get close to Li Xuanba, as the internal response of the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately his identity was discovered by Li Xuanba in advance.

"If you accidentally lose everything, the ancients will not deceive me." Li Xuanba thought a lot and sighed faintly. When he chatted with Li Jiuzhi and the others, he seemed to be calm and light, but in fact, he was very nervous in his heart.

Hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, entering Liyang Mountain, and resting for only one night, he lured the snake out of the hole, successfully lured Xiao Buyi out of Qiaoshan, and pretended to be defeated, weakening the strength of Qiaoshan's horse bandits, and was able to kill Xiao Buyi. Then, only three people were brought into Qiaoshan to deter the horse bandits who stayed behind in Qiaoshanzhai

The whole process seems to be thrilling, but if there is a mistake in one link, then Li Xuanba's preparation in the past two years is likely to be in vain.

With Chiyan here, Li Xuanba didn't worry about his own safety, but Li Jiu pointed out that they, including those war horses, would fall into Xiao Buyi's hands. And falling into the hands of Xiao Buyi is equivalent to giving it to Li Shimin.

It is gratifying that Xiao Buyi made a mistake and lost the whole game, and Li Xuanba gained great benefits from it.

"No matter how perfect you portray yourself in the history books, in my heart, you are just a complete villain." Li Xuanba muttered: "You can govern the world tightly and orderly, am I inferior to you?" After saying that, he snorted coldly, closed his eyes, and rested for a while. (To be continued.) )
