In the blink of an eye, the first month has passed, and mid-spring has arrived.

After a whole month of leisurely wandering in the mountains, Li Yanqing finally decided to return to Gong County. On the one hand, it is because it has been too long, and on the other hand, it is because of the obvious changes in the belly of the innocent. Although Baiguwu said that it lacked nothing, it was still a little remote after all.

Therefore, at Pei Cuiyun's suggestion, Yanqing decided to return to Gong County.

At the same time, with the help of Yanhu, he asked for twelve stick monks to serve as the head of the army.

Yan Hu didn't go, because he was the commander of the Shaolin warrior monks, and he was also responsible for defending Shaolin. Sima Daoxin hopes that through Yanhu, he can further draw in the relationship with Li Yanqing and develop for the future. But Yan Hu seemed to have a lot of concerns, hesitated and hesitated, and still did not make a decision until Yan Qing set off. He didn't want to return to the vulgar, but he couldn't give up Feng Jing, his own daughter. When he wanted to really face Feng Jing, he seemed to have some hesitation and concerns, afraid that it would affect Feng Jing's happiness in the future.

In short, it is a matter of gain and loss.

Under such circumstances, Li Yanqing did not persecute Yanhu again.

As long as he hesitates, there is hope. The reason why Yan Qing is so eager to bring Yan Hu over is also for the future.

A battle with Wang Shichong is imminent.

As long as the war in Guanzhong is calmed down, Li Yuan will definitely seek to take the Central Plains.

Li Yuanbing sent a letter to Guguan and said that it was the time when Li Yanqing returned to the Tang Dynasty. As soon as he returned to the Tang Dynasty, as a clan, Li Yanqing felt that his family seemed to be a little thin.

The Li valve clan has nearly 100 people, large and small.

Since Li Hu, there are a total of seven rooms. Needless to say, Li Yuan's house is full of children and grandchildren, and he has the support of the Dou family, and his position is firm. What about the other six bedrooms? To be precise, Li Xiaoji should be regarded as the thinnest one among the seven rooms of Li Valve. In addition to Lee Hyo-gi, it is Lee Yan-kyung. It is not easy for the two of them to form a team, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in the clan. After all, there are all kinds of interests involved.

Even if Yanqing has an eldest grandson and Pei Cuiyun, he belongs to the second generation after all.

As Lee Hyo-gi, there are too few forces that can be relied upon...... You can't always let Lee Hyo-gi rely on his son.

This is not good to say, with Li Xiaoji's surname, I am afraid I can't swallow this breath.

Therefore, Yanqing wants to be born to plan for his father's future.

Not to mention anything else, at least before the rise of the second generation, the father must be able to hold up. In addition to Yanqing himself, Daddy's allies are also indispensable.

Yanhu is his father's brother-in-law, and in terms of intimacy, he is also the closest person to his father today, except for Li Yanqing.

That's right, Yan Hu is not a child of the world, but the energy behind Yan Hu should not be underestimated. In his early years, as a world-famous lance maker, he made a wide range of friends. Among them, there are not many princes who now dominate one side, such as Feng Ang's father and son in Lingnan. Speaking of the tiger's daughter, Feng Jing, is Zheng Hongyi's wife. From this point of view, Li Yanqing can take the opportunity to kill Xingyang Jingtang in his hands.

Li Jiancheng's wife is Zheng Yuanshou's daughter.

In other words, the Zheng family used to be called a long house, and with the power of Li Yuan, it was very likely that they would regain the power of the Zheng family.

This also makes Zheng Renji's position a little unstable. Jung In-ki doesn't have a strong ally behind him, and if he can become a family member with Lee Hyo-gi, he must be very happy with him. Because, in this way, his power in charge of the Zheng family will be more stable.

Yanhu is an important hub of the Li and Zheng families.

Li Yanqing didn't tell anyone about this thought. However, Sima Daoxin was vague and sensed some clues. Therefore, when Li Yanqing asked for a warrior monk this time, Sima Daoxin nodded without hesitation. Yan Qing also knew that Sima Daoxin hoped to improve his status in Buddhism through Yan Qing. After all, compared to other sects in Buddhism today, Zen Buddhism has a relatively weak status.

The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit.

Although the monk is not in the red dust, he cannot escape the temptations in the red dust.

What about the four ancestors?

Li Yanqing and Daoxin both knew it, but no one said the mystery of this.

With the sound of the Zen bell, Li Yanqing and his entourage, stepping on the rising sun, left Songyue. In the distance, Yan Qing turned around on the horse and could see Yan Hu's majestic figure, standing at the mountain pass, waving to him from afar...... This uncle is really a little troublesome!

******

In the first month of the second year of Wude, Li Shentong said that Zhang Shanxiang and other Wagang ministers returned to Li Tang.

Li Mifang died, Wagang was in a state of scattered sand, and people were panicked, and they didn't know what to do in the future. Li Shentong suddenly appeared at this time, and with the prestige of the Fan Yang Lu clan, he quickly gained the trust of most of the former ministers of Wagang, and expressed his willingness to surrender to Li Tang one by one...... Although some towns are reluctant to submit, it cannot have much influence on this general trend.

Li Shentong ordered Zheng Yuanshou and Zheng Yuancong to recruit soldiers and horses on the spot, and in just one month, they recruited 30,000 troops, like destroying the withering and decaying, and swept through the Qilu region. Zheng Yuanshou even led his troops to approach the Jianghuai, making the Jianghuai region, which was originally in chaos, even more chaotic.

When Wang Shichong learned the news, he was shocked.

He never thought that Li Yuan would suddenly make a move at this time.

The front foot just reached an alliance with him, and also accepted Wang Shichong's daughter as a concubine, and the back foot shot in Qilu, and in a month, more than 300 towns were obtained, and the strength skyrocketed. As for Wang Shichong, he was blocked by Li Yanqing to the west of Xingyang, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to reach him......

In early February, Wang Shichong ordered Wang Deren of Dongjun to attack, trying to hold Li Shentong back.

Then, he ordered his brother Wang Su to go to Hebei to lobby Dou Jiande and Yu Wenhua. At this time, Yu Wenhua and Dou Jiande were fighting inseparably. Overall, Yu Wenhua is slightly inferior, but it is unlikely that Dou Jiande wants to make a quick decision.

Wang Shichong came forward to mediate, which can be regarded as giving Dou Jiande a chance to withdraw his troops.

Li Shentong's measures in the Qilu area also brought huge pressure to Dou Jiande. Qinghe and Boling Er Cui seemed to be about to move, which made Dou Jiande feel a little panicked. Li Yuan's rapid expansion caused Dou Jiande to exert great pressure, and thus gave rise to hostility.

As for Yu Wenhua, he just sat on the throne of the emperor, and his butt hasn't been warmed yet, of course, he hopes to do it for a longer time.

Since Wang Shichong is willing to mediate, Yu Wenhua certainly has no opinion. In terms of the overall battle situation with Dou Jiande, he does not have the upper hand. If it weren't for Yuwen Chengdu's courage and skill, and his proficiency in the art of war, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to compete with Dou Jiande at all.

And what about Dou Jiande?

I know that if you destroy Yu culture, you must first die in Yuwen Chengdu.

But the dignified Yuwen Chengdu dignified Tianbao General, how can he be wiped out at once? The most important thing is that Yuwen Chengdu is also the biological son of Yu Wenhua, and he is the heir of Yu Wenhua, and he is trusted and loved by Yu Wenhua. It's not easy to use a discord meter.

In this way, Wang Shichong easily mediated the situation in Hebei and obtained two allies.

But this far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and the existence of Li Yanqing in Xingyang makes Wang Shichong choked. If Li Yanqing is not destroyed, he will be difficult to last long; But let Wang Shichong and Li Yanqing confront? To be honest, Wang Shichong was really a little scared in his heart, and he didn't dare to start a war lightly.

Luoyang, including Jiadian.

Since the early dynasty, Wang Shichong has been chattering with the courtiers to discuss government affairs.

He's a broken mouth, to put it in layman's terms, it's Rory wordy, the old lady's footwrap, smelly and long. One thing turned over, turned upside down, and said endlessly. So much so that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were drowsy when they heard it, and the more they listened, the more they felt that the clouds and mountains were covered in fog and fog, and they were confused.

"Your Majesty, you can get to the point."

Zhang Zhenzhou, the general of the Right Xiaowei, finally couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to interrupt Wang Shichong's words.

At this point, Wang Shichong performed well. He himself knew his own fault, but it became a habit, and he couldn't change it all at once.

So I thought about it and sorted out my thoughts again.

"I want to take Xingyang, do you have a clever plan?"

Didn't you say that earlier?

The ministers of civil and military affairs were relieved one by one. In fact, after talking for a long time, isn't it that you want to capture Xingyang, why bother with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and even pulled it to Guanzhong.

"Why did Your Majesty decide to take Xingyang?"

Zhang Zhenzhou asked again.

Wang Shichong was stunned for a moment, "If you don't take Xingyang, how can I capture Qilu?" ā€

"To capture Qilu, you don't necessarily have to be an enemy of Li Henan."

Li Yanqing calls himself Daxingtai of Henan Province. Although Wang Shichong later appointed Wang Deren, in the eyes of Luoyang's civil and military officials, Li Yanqing was even more deserved.

Zhang Zhenzhou is an old minister, slightly later than Yang Gongqing to surrender to Wang Shichong, but he won Wang Shichong's trust.

Yang Gongqing is the general of the left reserve body and guards Luoyang. Zhang Zhenzhou was the general of the right guard, stationed in Gucheng to defend the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong.

Seeing Wang Shichong's misty face, Zhang Zhenzhou also smiled helplessly.

"Your Majesty, in fact, when you started out, your strategy with Li Henan was correct. Li Henan learned from a young man that he was talented and had both civil and military skills. Such people are naturally arrogant...... However, this kind of person is the most affectionate. At that time, Emperor Sui overrode public opinion and appointed Li Henan as the general of Heishi Guan Ying, as if entrusting Luoyang to him. It is precisely because of this trust that he is still serving the Sui Emperor to this day.

Before His Majesty ascended the throne, he wanted to be good with Li Henan for Qin and Jin.

Didn't you notice that when Your Majesty passed on this edict, Luoyang welcomed the city, and the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, but one person objected?

However, His Majesty only sent someone once, and then he changed his mind and became friendly with the Turks. Your Majesty, Turkic, the surname of the jackal, how can you believe it? Not to mention that they are thousands of miles away from Your Majesty, even if they are on the bank of Heluo, will they really send troops to help Your Majesty? ā€

Wang Shichong's face was slightly embarrassed.

Indeed, he allied with the Turks at that time because of the strong force of the Turks.

However, the Turks are thousands of miles away, and even if they want to help, they can't help. As the saying goes, far water does not save near fire, which is exactly this truth. Wang Shichong originally thought that after solving Li Mi, he could use Wang Deren to rein in Qilu, and then deal with Li Yanqing, but now it seems that ......

"Then according to Zhang Qing, how should I be?"

"Your Majesty, it's still the old way, marry Li Henan, and fight Li Tang together.

That Li Henan sat in the tiger prison and guarded the throat of Luoyang. If he can form an alliance, then His Majesty does not need to worry about the situation in the east, expand to the south, and after occupying Jianghuai, he will plot Qilu. If you blindly persecute it, it will make Li Henan throw herself to Li Tang, and His Majesty will face Guanzhong at that time.

Li Tang can't conspire with him, but Li Henan can't conspire with him. ā€

"However, my niece is already married to a Turk...... The princess is also married to Li Yuan, how to form an alliance with Li Henan? ā€

Zhang Zhenzhou couldn't help laughing, "Your Majesty, what kind of beauties are missing in this Luoyang City?"

Moreover, Li Henan has just married three wives and one concubine, and he may not have too much demand for women...... The minister heard that Li Henan attached great importance to his Qilin Pavilion, why didn't His Majesty order the Confucian scholars and celebrities of the country to go to help? I can't say that Li Henan will be even happier and ally with His Majesty. ā€

When Wang Shichong heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Don't want a woman's words...... It really couldn't be easier.

"Then Zhang Qing thinks who should I send to Xingyang to seek an alliance with Li Yanqing?"

"The minister recommended two people, and if these two people went, they would be successful. Secretary and supervisor Ouyang Xun, Yu Shitai Du Chuke. Ouyang Xun is a master of Shilin, a calligrapher. Li Yanqing is also a master of calligraphy, and he created his own goose body, which is unique in the world. When these two meet, they will have something to talk about; And Du Chuke ...... His brother Du Ruhui is deeply trusted under Li Henan, and if he goes, he can do everything with half the effort. ā€

Ouyang Xun, Du Chuke?

Wang Shichong was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately stroked his palms and said: "What Zhang Qing said is extremely true, according to what Zhang Qing said, form an alliance with Li Henan as soon as possible." ā€
