At the beginning of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Turks invaded the border. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, Shibi Khan's Koubian this time was not to plunder, but to contain Li Yuan's soldiers and horses in Taiyuan.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Wuzhou, the captain of the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi, killed Wang Rengong, the Taishou of Mayi, and rebelled. This Liu Wuzhou, born in a wealthy family, was brave and good at shooting when he was young, and liked to make friends with heroes all over the world. During the Great Cause, he went to Luoyang to defect to Yang Yichen, a servant. In the eighth year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goguryeo, and Liu Wuzhou was recruited for the Eastern Expedition, and later was promoted to the captain of Jianjie because of his outstanding military achievements.

After the three expeditions to Goguryeo, Liu Wuzhou was appointed as the captain of the Yingyang Mansion in Mayi.

This is a grassroots military position in the Guard. If you are below the rank of lieutenant, you will not report to the Wei Mansion, and you can appoint and remove them by each Eagle Yang Mansion on their own. If you are a lieutenant or above, you must report through the Wei Office. The Eagle Yang Mansion has the right to recommend, but not the right to appoint and dismiss. Because of this, the Sui Chamber firmly controlled the Wei Mansion in its hands.

Liu Wuzhou knows very well that it will not be easy for him to gain a firm foothold in Mayi.

Not to mention anything else, just one Taiyuan stayed behind, which was enough to make him feel pressure. So he quickly found a way out and took refuge in the Turkic Shibi Khan.

Shibi Khan was equally ambitious.

He was not as weak as his father, Qimin Khan, and had always eyed the Central Plains.

When the Sui Chamber was strong, he was quite honest; But with the chaos in the Central Plains, Shibi Khan also began to move. He knew very well that the decline of the Turks was not a crime of war, and there were too many capable people in the Sui room. Differentiation, longitudinal ...... and other means emerged one after another, dividing the Turks apart. If he wanted to seize the Central Plains, he decided to do the same. Liu Wuzhou's annexation undoubtedly gave Shibi Khan ample excuses.

He only needs to contain Li Yuan!

As for whether Liu Wuzhou can defeat the Sui army, it depends on his ability.

People who have nothing to do don't need Shibi Khan. In fact, Liu Wuzhou did have the ability to kill Wang Zhibian, the general of the Sui army, in Mayi.

Li Yuan was indifferent to this.

He wanted to go to conquer Liu Wuzhou, but there were too many elbows.

The Turks are certainly one thing, but the real elbow still comes from his side. Emperor Yang of Sui ordered him to go out of the northern frontier, and at the same time sent Wang Wei and Gao Junya to monitor moderation. Even if Li Yuan wanted to make a move, it was very difficult. At the same time, Li Yuan is also in Taoguang.

As for the reason, it's simpler.

Mrs. Dou passed away after the autumn of last year, and Li Yuan's liver and intestines were broken, and he couldn't afford to fall ill.

When the news reached Jiangdu, Yang Guang actually said to the people around him: "Why is this old man not dead?" ”

Fortunately, Yang Guang had a concubine by his side, who was Li Yuan's niece, and on the one hand he comforted Yang Guang, and on the other hand, he sent someone to inform Li Yuan secretly.

Since then, Li Yuan has become more low-key, drunk and dreaming of death......

Was he really scared, though?

******

Taiyuan was once the seat of the Northern Dynasty overlord.

In terms of its history, it may not be inferior to any capital city such as Luoyang and Chang'an.

In the middle of spring, when all things germinate. In a manor house on the banks of the Weishui River, Li Yuan is sitting on the banks of the Weishui River fishing. The warm spring breeze blows through, making people feel sleepy. He sat motionless, quietly by the river, his eyes revealing a bit of cloudy color.

If Li Yanqing is here, he will definitely sigh that 'the years are not forgiving'.

Today's Li Yuan no longer has the sassy state of eight years ago, giving people a feeling of dying old age.

Behind him, however, stood a great number of people.

All of them stood with their hands down, not even daring to gasp. And the person who is the leader is Lee Hyo-gi......

By Li Xiaoji's side, there are Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin and third son Li Xuanba. In addition, they are all Li Yuan's henchmen.

Dressed in green clothes and with a clear appearance, his name is Pei Lian, who is a side branch of the Pei family in Hedong and a palace supervisor of Jinyang Palace.

"Guogong, take the bait!"

Pei Lin suddenly spoke, but saw the swim bladder on the river move.

Li Yuan hurriedly pulled the rod, but he didn't want the fish to be too cunning, so he broke off the hook.

"Xuan Zhen, your heart is dry......"

Li Yuanhun didn't care about the fish that went away, put away the fishing rod, and blamed Pei Lin with a smile. However, it can be seen that he has a very close relationship with Pei Lian, and Pei Lin doesn't care at all.

"Erlang, the Taiyuan Wang clan really sent someone to talk to you about that incident?"

Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Father, Taiyuan Wang Rong passed on their meaning to the child through Mr. Wang Tongwang. They hope to persuade their father to support Wang Shichong through their children. He also said that if he could succeed, his royal family would be willing to send an additional war horse, a thousand. ”

Li Xiaoji's face suddenly sank.

Li Yuan stood up lazily and handed the fishing rod to Pei Lian.

He glanced at Li Xiaoji, and then at Li Shimin, "Then what do you think?" ”

"Wang Shichong, the jackal is also ...... If this person controls Xingyang, it will inevitably make the situation in the Central Plains even more chaotic. However, my father can also fish in troubled waters, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"How do you kill two birds with one stone?"

"Let Wang Shichong disrupt the situation, his father can fish in troubled waters, this is one of them; Taking advantage of the situation to form a good alliance with the Wang family will help us gain a firm foothold, which is the second thing. ”

"What kind of fish?"

"This ......"

Li Shimin didn't expect that Li Yuan would suddenly pretend to be confused about him.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Li Yuan looked old on the surface, but in his heart, he always remained sober.

"Lao Jiu, I received a secret message from Xingyang yesterday."

It seemed that Li Xiaoji's face was unswerving, Li Yuan no longer ignored Li Shimin, looked at Li Xiaoji with a smile, and took out a letter from his arms.

Xingyang secret report?

Li Xiaoji's face was happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to take the letter.

Others, on the other hand, looked dazed.

Li Shimin looked at Li Xiaoji and Li Yuan suspiciously, not understanding what was going on, and actually made Li Yuan look happy.

"Go down first! Xuan Zhen and Lao Jiu, you two stay, I have something to explain. ”

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, and immediately realized that his plan to kill two birds with one stone just now did not seem to have won Li Yuan's approval.

But he really couldn't understand that this was obviously a good thing, why didn't Li Yuan approve of it?

Since the death of his mother, Mrs. Dou, Li Shimin has been aware of Li Yuan's thoughts. He is not even the kind of person who will bow his head easily, and the reason why he is pretending to be mediocre and lascivious and confused now is for a bigger plan. This point, from Li Shimin's secret friendship with heroes and heroes, Li Yuan knew it, but pretended not to know. and secretly financed him with a large amount of money to help him do things.

What my father planned was not small!

Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan's tone several times, but was reprimanded by Li Yuan.

However, according to the analysis of a friend he newly met, the reason why Li Yuan is like this is probably because he has already made arrangements. What Li Shimin has to do now is to try his best to create momentum for Li Yuan. As soon as the time is ripe, Li Yuan will definitely take action. After planning for a long time, Li Shimin asked for assistance from the Taiyuan Wang clan and tested Li Yuan again. Contrary to his expectations, Li Yuan seemed indifferent.

This inevitably made Li Shimin a little confused.

"San Lang, what do you think you have in your heart?"

The relationship between Li Shimin and Li Xuanba is very good.

Originally, according to the trajectory of historical development, Li Xuanba has already died now. But he didn't expect Li Yanqing's appearance to save Li Xuanba's surname. Now Li Xuanba has reached the age of seventeen, and he is thin and thin, but at the same time, he has unique skills and natural powers.

He scratched his head and smiled innocently, "How can I think of things that the second brother can't understand?"

But the second brother doesn't have to care too much. Didn't you meet that Mr. Wang Bainiu Wang last year? He is resourceful, so he must be able to solve the doubts of the second brother. ”

Wang Bainiu, isn't it the Wang Tong who was defeated by Li Yanqing more than ten years ago and escaped to retreat on the bank of Bainiu Creek in Longmen Mountain?

After Wang Tong's retreat, the world jokingly called him Wang Bainiu.

After Wang Tong heard about it, instead of being angry, he laughed and accepted it.

Li Yanqing would never have thought that his blow to Wang Tong would have such a huge impact on Wang Tong. After ten years of hard study behind closed doors, and in the tenth year of the great cause, with the help of the Wang clan, he was promoted to the post of Taiyuan Hucao to join the army, and made friends with Li Shimin.

In the original history, Wang Tong had already died of illness at this time.

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, "This is very good, I am looking for him." ”
