Chang'an City, since the Li family occupied Chang'an, is now the Li family's base camp, and the Li military flag planted on the head of Chang'an City is twice as much as the Sui military flag! And the soldiers in Chang'an City also regard themselves as the Tang Army, and no one will think about the Great Sui Dynasty anymore.

At the gate of Chang'an City, several soldiers are standing around the city gate in high spirits, the Tang Army is very strict in governing the army, even if it is a small city gate soldier, they cannot violate any military regulations, otherwise, they will definitely be dealt with by military law! Before that, there were already a few unlucky people who hit the knife and were finally beheaded for public display! So even if there is no supervision, these soldiers do not dare to slack off. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Stride, stomp!" Suddenly, there was a dense sound of footsteps from outside the city, and it was clear that someone was riding a fast horse and rushing towards this side, and he didn't even mean to slow down, obviously trying to break through! The eight soldiers at the gate of the city all showed surprise on their faces, since the Li family occupied Chang'an, no one had ever dared to break through so hard! They just glanced at each other, and immediately blocked the huge city gate with their own bodies, and one of the soldiers turned his head and shouted at the cavalry outside the city who was rushing towards this direction: "Who is it? Dare to trespass on the gates? ”

"Get out of the way!" As soon as the soldier's shout was settled, a cold drink sounded directly, and then, I saw a white shadow passing by, and the shadow of the cavalry, who was still more than two hundred paces away in front of them just now, jumped over their heads in a blink of an eye, and rushed directly into the city, and after a while, there was no shadow!

Those soldiers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they actually put a person of unknown origin into the city, if this was known to the superiors, their heads would definitely not be saved! One of the soldiers said to the people around him in a cold sweat: "I, I, we, let's hurry up and beat the drum and sound the alarm!" "This soldier also thought clearly, if he could call the alarm in advance, this crime would be much less!

"No, no need!" Among the eight soldiers, there was a leader, although his face was not much better, but he was much calmer than the other seven, and soon waved his hand to stop the subordinate who was about to beat the war drum, and said: "The white horse just now is a thousand-mile horse, and there is only one person in the entire Tang army who has this horse, and that is General Li Shentong, the younger brother of the Tang King!" The one who has just passed must be General Li Shentong himself! When he enters Chang'an, what police do we call? You are here to watch, and I will go up and tell you!" ”

Not to mention that those soldiers at the city gate were panicked by this sudden incident, in the Tang Wangfu in Chang'an City, Tang King Li Yuan was leading a group of civil and military generals to discuss military and political matters.

"Lord Wang!" A general stood up directly, clasped his fists and shouted at Li Yuan, who was sitting above in a fancy suit: "Now that Wanhe is besieged by Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande!" It's a great opportunity! Why didn't the prince send troops to the east? Capture Luoyang, the prince holds the two capitals and occupies the righteousness of the world, then the big thing will be done! Don't miss the time! ”

The general who spoke was Wang Changhuan, and he could be regarded as an old subordinate under Li Yuan, who had made a lot of contributions to the left army when he attacked Tongguan before. And Wang Changhuan's words also represent the opinions of most of the generals under Li Yuan, Li Yuan didn't dare to send troops to Luoyang before, that is because Luoyang's strength is not weak! Now it is rare that Wan He has fought hard with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and the Tang army can naturally take advantage of the weakness to enter, and when Wanhe's soldiers and horses are all going to deal with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's coalition army, they will send troops to take Luoyang! Luoyang's significance is extraordinary! That's the real capital of the Great Sui! If Luoyang can be taken, then Li Tang's prestige will surpass all the forces in the world!

Li Yuan, who was high above, heard Wang Chang's words, and a fine light flashed in his eyes, and a wave of hatred spread from Li Yuan's heart! Wanhe! For Li Yuan, this name is simply a thorn in Li Yuan's heart! Li Yuan has only five sons so far, and the third son, Li Xuanba, has been sick since he was a child, but he is actually the most loved by Li Yuan! But Li Xuanba was killed, but Wan He was at large, which made Li Yuan hate Wan He and Da Sui who protected Wan He to the core! Since Taiyuan raised troops, Li Yuan has always thought of being able to lead his troops into Luoyang and crush his son-killing enemy Wan He to ashes!

But Li Yuan is not a hot-blooded boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, on the contrary, Li Yuan is a city government and a scheming person who is very powerful and powerful! He knew very well that if he rashly sent troops, he would only ruin the hegemony he had planned for many years! So Li Yuan endured it, starting from Taiyuan and enduring until now! If nothing else happens, he will continue to endure until the opportunity arises! And now, the opportunity has finally appeared! Wang Shichong will join forces with Dou Jiande, and their targets are Wanhe! Now it is still difficult for Wanhe to deal with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, let alone defend himself! It's time to send troops at this time!

Although he already had an idea in his heart, Li Yuan didn't show it, but turned his head to look at the others again, and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Lord Wang!" A middle-aged civil official stood up and bowed to Li Yuan, this person's name is Liu Zhenghui, before Li Yuan raised his army, he was just a Sima of Taiyuan Yingyang Mansion, but he was loyal to Li Yuan early on. Later, Li Yuan raised troops, and Liu Zhenghui took the lead in denouncing Wang Wei and Gao Junya for rebellion, helping Li Yuan to justifiably obtain military power and win Li Yuan's trust! I saw him get up, frowning and saying to Li Yuan: "My subordinates think that this is not the best time for the prince to get out of the customs!" ”

"Oh?" Li Yuan didn't expect that there would be people who objected, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but Liu Zhenghui had made great contributions for himself, and Li Yuan couldn't treat him casually, so he could only frown and say, "Lord Liu said this, but is there any basis?" ”

If it were someone else, as soon as he saw Li Yuan frowning, he would know that he would make Li Yuan unhappy, and he would definitely shut up obediently. However, Liu Zhenghui was Li Yuan's old courtier, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "Now that the prince is in Chang'an and enjoys Guanzhong, it is true that he has taken advantage of the time, place and people!" But Xue Ju and Li Liang in the northwest are undecided, and Liu Wuzhou is in trouble in the north, if the prince rushes out of the customs, I am afraid that these people will be given an opportunity to take advantage of! Besides, that Wan He is not unguarded against the prince! When his subordinates heard that Wanhe sent Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, each leading 10,000 troops, stationed in Shangluo and Hongnong, and Luoyang was a horn! The prince wants to capture Luoyang when he goes out, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to succeed! If this time drags on, this Chang'an will become more and more unfavorable! ”

Liu Zhenghui's bitter persuasion worked, and after listening to Liu Zhenghui's words, Li Yuan's face slowly sank, not that he was dissatisfied with Liu Zhenghui, but he found that the opportunity he was waiting for was missed again! When the main battle generals next to him heard this, their faces were not very good-looking, and soon, Li Yuan's nephew Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and shouted at Li Yuan: "Uncle! I don't agree with Lord Liu! ”

Li Xiaogong is not only Li Yuan's nephew, but also the personal disciple of Li Shentong, the first master of the Li family, and the younger generation of the Li family is also the first master! Because of this, he also has his arrogance, when he was in Taiyuan, Li Xiaogong was beaten so badly by Wan He's general Pei Xingyan, and in the end he even became Wan He's bargaining chip to blackmail Li Yuan! For Li Xiaogong, that is a bitter hatred! Li Xiaogong couldn't wait to immediately lead an army to kill Luoyang and take revenge! Immediately, Li Xiaogong shouted: "Uncle! The soldiers and horses under Wan He are not as good as the combined forces of Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande! Now, instead of being trapped in Luoyang, he sent troops to meet it, which was clearly his own destruction! It won't be long before Wanhe will take back the soldiers and horses guarding Shangluo and Hongnong! If we wait until that time to send troops, I'm afraid it will be too late! If Luoyang was obtained by Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, wouldn't it add an enemy to his uncle that was even stronger than Wan He? ”

The hatred between his nephew and Wan He, Li Yuan naturally also knew that although Li Xiaogong's words were mainly from his own psychology of seeking revenge against Wan He, Li Yuan also had to admit that his nephew, who only knew how to fight and kill, said something very reasonable this time! Wanhe monopolized Luoyang before, but Wang Shichong was restrained in Henan, so Wanhe's strength was difficult to develop! If Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande really take Luoyang, it almost means the union of Henan and Hebei, and the enemy Li Yuan will face will be even stronger! Therefore, Li Yuan must take the opportunity to take Luoyang first!

It's just that Li Yuan also had to take into account the factors that Liu Zhenghui just said. At the beginning, above the court, many princes and ministers evaluated Li Yuan as cowardly, but facts have proved that it is Li Yuan's timidity that has enabled him to get to this point! Li Yuan will never give up the wise words of prudence and prudence! Immediately, Li Yuan turned his head again and said to his eldest son Li Jiancheng, who was sitting on his right hand: "Completed!" What do you think should be done? ”

As Li Yuan's eldest son and also the son of the Duke of Tang, Li Jiancheng's status in Li Tang is getting higher and higher! Especially as the Li family gradually gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, it was almost logical for Li Yuan to replace the Great Sui and ascend the throne as the emperor. It is necessary for Li Yuan to listen to the opinion of his heir! And Li Jiancheng is also frowning at the moment, this opinion is really not so easy to say! From his point of view, he agrees with Liu Zhenghui's opinion, but the problem is that the generals of the main battle are all powerful figures in the Tang Army! If you say that you don't agree with sending troops, won't you offend these generals?
