When Li Shimin left Chang'an last time, it was only two months ago, but when he walked into the main hall, Li Yuan felt like a world away.

At this time, Li Shimin's face was full of wind and dust, and his face, which was originally extremely handsome, was full of scruffy beard, and his cheeks became dark, showing his fortitude.

In two months, Li Shimin has grown up completely.

If Li Shimin was still a high-spirited ranger before the Battle of Shallow Waterplain, he was a depressed person after that defeat, but it was only two months of battlefield dust that made it fully mature.

is different from the arrogant Li Shimin in the past, and now Li Shimin has developed a calm and stable, not angry but authoritative bearing.

Li Shimin had just turned 20 years old in this year; At his current age, Su You had just stepped into college, and at that time he didn't even know what his goal in life was!

Li Yuan looked at his son who had grown up, his face was full of relief, and he even reversed the previous normal state that he always felt that Li Shimin was inferior to Li Jiancheng, and stood up happily, "Shimin, are you okay?" Sit! ”

Li Shimin was dressed in military uniform, and he had just broken into the palace in the dust, and he really didn't have the heart to sit down.

Despite this, Li Shimin still completed a complete set of etiquette in a polite and courteous manner, and then sat down under Li Yuan's hand, and then replied to what he just asked, "Father, the pacification of Longyou is extremely smooth, and wherever our army goes, the Qin army is invincible. After Xue Rengao's death, those remnants of the Qin Dynasty supported Xue Ju's youngest son Xue Renyue as emperor, but he was still young and extremely cowardly, and we had not yet begun to attack him. I took it upon myself to spare his life, and asked him to persuade the rest of the remnants of the Qin Dynasty to surrender, and the speed of surrender was really twice the result with half the effort! Nearly 100,000 prisoners and more than 10,000 war horses were captured this time, and now they are being reorganized and trained."

When it comes to what he did, Li Shimin showed off intentionally or unintentionally, and his heart obviously did not grow as he described.

"Shimin, you have done a good job, and I am very pleased to be my father."

"This is also the opportunity given by the father to the son, otherwise the son would still be sinking in defeat at this time."

"You are my son, if this opportunity is not given to you, which one will you give it?"

The reunion of father and son after a long absence is really happy, but Li Shimin broke into the palace without even washing his face, obviously not wanting to gossip with his father.

"Father, when Erchen first entered the city, he heard about Taiyuan, and when he entered the palace just now, he happened to see him return with Jing and pleaded guilty, could it be that all the news that Erchen heard was true?" Li Shimin was quick to talk about Li Yuanji's fiasco, but he had never been at odds with Li Yuanji and didn't even bother to mention his name.

"What do you hear?" Li Yuan obviously asked knowingly, how can there be airtight pants in the world? Li Shimin was not surprised at all when he learned the news of the loss of Taiyuan.

Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, but still said with some twists, "Father, my son heard that Yuanji was arrogant and lascivious in Taiyuan."

What kind of character is Li Yuanji, how can Li Yuan not know? can be "the child of his own family and the wife of others", although Li Yuan is the emperor, he still has the consciousness of protecting his calf.

Even if Li Shimin said that Li Yuanji was not good, Li Yuan was a little uncomfortable, and immediately shouted, "Shimin, he is your own brother!" ”

Li Shimin also seemed to feel that he had said something too much, and after a while, he said sneeringly, "There are nine kinds of dragons"

Li Yuan naturally wanted to be bitter about Li Shimin's stubbornness, but he didn't know what words to use to persuade their brothers to be of the same heart for a while, after all, all the advice about their brothers was a cliché.

Li Shimin felt that he couldn't say half of his words, and after seeing his father speechless, he smiled bitterly, "Dad, why don't I treat him as my own brother?" If it weren't for the fact that I wanted him to be good, I wouldn't bother to talk about him! In the past six months, Yuanji has been too angry and resentful in Taiyuan. Che cavalry general Zhang Da is just because one of his soldiers accidentally injured Yuan Ji, Yuan Ji announced a personal vendetta and sent him to take hundreds of people to die, this is the break he rebelled against Liu Wuzhou, Yuci fell Yu Wenxin is loyal, and the leader is also quite experienced, but he was squeezed out of the city by Yuan Ji and Dou Dan to meet the enemy, and after the defeat, he was imprisoned, and he was imprisoned throughout the period when Liu Wuzhou captured Jinyang City! Yuan Ji is messing around, Dou Dan not only did not dissuade him, but also acted for the tiger, and his father was aware of it! ”

Li Yuan's face suddenly sank, "How do you know these circumstances?" ”

Li Shimin said with some apprehension, "Among Yuanji's personal guards, two of them are friends with me."

"You!" When Li Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but be impressed by Li Shimin, his son was really in the middle of a strategy.

When the army was just raised, when it was unfavorable to attack Huoyi, Li Shimin reported that he had arranged more than 100 traitors to become merchants as early as a month ago, and sure enough.

And now, Li Shimin has actually laid chess pieces around Li Yuanji, does this mean that he has laid chess pieces around himself, Jiancheng and Xuanba?

Thinking of Li Shimin's methods, Li Yuan didn't know whether to be afraid or relieved, and after being silent for a while, he finally pretended to skip the matter, and said slowly, "I don't know anything about Yuanji's temperament, but who else can be relied on at the critical moment except our own family?" Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin couldn't help him, which was also my improper use of people. In this way, I will go to his title of 'King of Qi' first! Dou Dan and Yu Wenxin will not be held accountable. ”

"Father is wise!" Li Shimin immediately praised.

Li Shimin and Li Yuanji looked at each other unpleasantly, and Li Yuan's treatment of Li Yuanji was of course pleasing to Li Shimin; Another reason is because Li Shimin does not want Li Yuan to find a scapegoat for Li Yuanji, lest others bring up the old story of him finding Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing for Li Shimin earlier.

From this point of view, Li Shimin's mind is still very deep, and he shows no mercy to his brother.

Li Yuan was in the game, but this time he didn't think so far, but asked Li Shimin sincerely, "Shimin, how do you think you should deal with the fall of Taiyuan?" ”

"Erchen heard that Xuanba led 30,000 elite soldiers from Yanmen to enter the pass, and had captured Mayi and other counties; After Liu Wuzhou occupies Taiyuan, he will definitely return to the army and Mayi, so as not to be at both ends of the first rat! Erchen is willing to lead 30,000 troops and attack Taiyuan in order to attack him back and forth with Xuanba! As if he had made a plan a long time ago, Li Shimin immediately asked for his life.

"Liu Wuzhou has more than 100,000 troops, and they used the weapons used by the Wagang Army and the Su You Army many times in the siege of the city, right, I finally figured it out, it turned out that the Wagang Army was a chess piece arranged by Su You from the beginning, and Liu Wuzhou's army also had Su You's reinforcements!" Li Yuan had a flash of inspiration, and finally grasped the key point of the fall of Jinyang City that Li Yuanji had told him just now!

The Wagang Army has long been Su You's pawn! Liu Wuzhou has Su You's reinforcements in his army, is Liu Wuzhou also Su You's pawn?

When he thought of this crucial moment, a cold sweat immediately broke out on Li Yuan's back, it seems that Su You is not easy to deal with! And is Liu Wuzhou easy to deal with now?

After listening to Li Yuan's analysis, Li Shimin was also taken aback. Lei's first appearance was the Battle of Dahai Temple, because of which Zhang Xutuo died, and the Wagang Army laid the head of the Central Plains Rebellion in one fell swoop.

After that, the Wagang Army used hands for the second time. Lei was in the decisive battle between the Wagang Army and Yu Wenhua and the allied forces with Yang Shanhui, and at the last moment Yang Shanhui died because of this, and the Wagang Army turned defeat into victory

If you add the fall of Taiyuan this time, it also means that Liu Wuzhou has such a mysterious weapon.

But there is no doubt that the non-Soviet guerrilla army that used this type of weapon on a large scale was the battle to break the Goryeo royal city, and then the defeat of Gao Kaidao, the defeat of the coalition army of Dou Jiande and Wei Dao'er, the subjugation of Dou Jiande, and so on!

There is no doubt that the person who made this weapon pointed to Su You, and the rest of those who could have this weapon were all closely related to it, which can be seen from the fact that Su You and the Wagang Army merged without even fighting

Although he deeply felt Su You's terribleness, Li Shimin quickly forced himself to calm down, and said in a deep voice, "Father, even if Liu Wuzhou has become Su You's lackey, Su You is also a human being, and his son has the confidence to fight with him!" ”

After saying these two sentences, Li Shimin said again, "Ah, it's not good! ”

Li Yuanzheng didn't know how to beat Li Shimin, and when he heard his startle, he asked a little strangely, "What?" ”

Li Shimin immediately responded with some concern, "I'm worried that my sister is in danger!" If Liu Wuzhou really became Su You's lackey or they temporarily formed an alliance of interests, would Su You send reinforcements again? In this way, Jingcheng Pass and Weize Pass will be "

As if to confirm what Li Shimin said, his words fell, and a chamberlain rushed in, "Your Majesty, Taiyuan urgently!" ”

Previously, Li Yuan had ordered that if there was news from Taiyuan, he must let the chamberlain hand it directly to him, but Li Yuanji had already returned, and there was basically no follow-up report in Taiyuan.

Could it be

With a not-so-good premonition, when Li Yuan unfolded the eight-hundred-mile urgent document in his hand, it was written: "Jingcheng Pass has been lost, the horse Chai Shao was killed by an arrow, Princess Pingyang is seriously ill, and Wei Zeguan is in danger!" ”

"This" When Li Yuan saw the news, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

When Li Shimin saw the information, his face became anxious, not to mention Chai Shao, who had been killed by an arrow, and Li Xiuning, who was seriously ill; Judging from the intelligence alone, it is known that the Reed Ze Pass has become a hanging pass, and if it is not rescued in time, it is in danger of being broken at any time.

As soon as the Wei Ze Pass was broken, the life of her sister Li Xiuning was handed over to the enemy, and the threat of Jing Cheng and Wei Ze was lost, and Jinyang City could come out empty, and Li Xuanba would be more than auspicious!

"Father, please allow your son to lead 30,000 elites to the rescue, now the Xuanjia Army has become a momentum, and the military heart can be used!"

"It's come to this, and it's useless to be anxious. Come, gather all the generals! ”
