If it had been before, Li Jiancheng might not have thought about it so much, but since the last time he saw Li Shimin's influence in the army in Huayin, Li Jiancheng also felt that he couldn't let it go on like this! Therefore, after returning from Huayin, Li Jiancheng deliberately befriended the real generals in the army, just to expand his strength and prevent the position of heir from being taken away by his second brother Li Shimin!

Wang Changhuan and Li Xiaogong are both powerful figures in the Tang Army, especially Li Xiaogong, as a disciple of the Li family and a personal disciple of Li Shentong, his power in the army is no less than that of his son! If Li Xiaogong's support can be obtained, then Li Jiancheng's power in the army will be directly more than doubled! Not to mention relying on Li Xiaogong to catch Li Shentong's line again! Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng also made up his mind in his heart, and then raised his head and said to Li Yuan: "Father! The child thinks that what General Wang and Xiaogong's cousin said is reasonable! Luoyang is too important! If we can't take Luoyang, then for our Li family, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande will become a huge threat! ”

Li Jiancheng knew that Li Yuan hated Wan He, but he couldn't talk about the hatred between the Li family and Wan He, that would only make Li Yuan feel that he was abandoning his public because of his own interests, so Li Jiancheng also picked up this big truth. Hearing Li Jiancheng's words, Li Yuan couldn't help but nodded, and seemed to agree with Li Jiancheng's answer. Seeing Li Yuan's reaction, Li Jiancheng was also secretly happy when he saw Li Yuan's reaction, and then said to Li Yuan: "As for Xue Ju and Li Rail......www.biquge.info

"Big brother!" Just when Li Jiancheng was halfway through his words, a shout suddenly sounded outside the conference hall, and immediately after, a figure directly pushed open the door and broke in, and rushed directly towards Li Yuan!

When this figure first appeared, several generals were startled and wanted to step forward to stop them, but after seeing the person's appearance clearly, they immediately sat back. And Li Yuan and some of Li Tang's core members were not even surprised, there was only one person in Chang'an City who dared to act like this in Tang Wangfu, and that was Li Yuan's cousin, Li Shentong, the number one master of the Li family!

I saw that the figure stopped at a distance of five steps away from Li Yuan, and sure enough, it was Li Shentong, after Li Shentong stood still, while panting, he hugged his fist at Li Yuan and shouted: "Big brother! Big things are wrong! Xue Ju has sent troops! ”

"What?" Hearing Li Shentong's words, Li Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, so he jumped up from his seat directly, looked at Li Shentong with wide eyes, and shouted: "How is this possible? Why did Xue Ju suddenly send troops? ”

Xue Ju, originally a native of Hedong, moved to Jincheng with his father when he was a child, and his family has a family of millions, even in the entire northwest, he is a famous rich man! And Xue Ju has a different talent, he has been infinitely powerful since he was a child, and he has learned a famous teacher and learned a superb martial arts! After Xue Ju became an adult, he recruited heroes again, and in the last years of the great cause of dominating Bian Shuo, Xue Ju took advantage of the troubled times to raise troops, unified the northwest early, and established himself as the emperor, calling himself the overlord of Western Qin! In Bian Shuo, Xue Ju is simply an invincible existence, and the Western Qin army under his command has made those Sui troops who went to crusade suffer a lot in the past few years! After Li Yuan had just captured Chang'an, he had also intended to attack Xue Ju, but he didn't expect to end up in a big defeat!

But fortunately, Xue Ju didn't seem to be interested in the Central Plains, and only wanted to stay in Bian Shuo and be his soil emperor, so he never had the intention of sending troops. But now he would suddenly send troops, which naturally surprised Li Yuan! Thinking of the scene of the last expedition to the northwest, when he was defeated by the fierce Western Qin army, Li Yuan felt a chill, and immediately shouted: "This, what should I do?" Why did Xue Ju send troops? ”

Li Yuan's question is also a question in the hearts of others, this Xue Ju obviously shows his attitude, as long as he guards the one acre and three points of land in Bian Shuo, how can he send troops to Yongzhou? And Li Shentong also calmed his breath at this moment, and immediately replied: "Big brother! Didn't the eldest brother send someone to form an alliance with that Li Liang last year? Xue Ju attacked Li Rail before, but he was defeated by Li Rail, this Xue Ju thought that our Li family and Li Rail were allies, so while attacking Li Rail, he also sent troops to attack us! It's for revenge! ”

Hearing Li Shentong's words, Li Yuan's face immediately darkened! An alliance with Li Liang is just an expedient measure for Li Yuan, after all, the Li family sits in the land of Guanzhong, but all the powers around him are eyeing him, and Li Yuan can't be enemies with all of them! After maintaining a neutral attitude with Liu Wuzhou, Xue Ju and Wan He, it became an imperative decision to ally with Li Liang. But Li Yuan never thought that Xue Ju would be angry with Li Tang because of this! This is truly a disaster!

However, Li Yuan was not an ordinary person after all, after a short period of surprise, Li Yuan quickly regained his composure and asked in a deep voice: "Divine power!" Explain the specific situation of Xue Ju's troops! ”

"Yes!" Li Shentong immediately snorted, and at this time, Li Jiancheng also took the initiative to move his chair behind Li Shentong and let Li Shentong sit down. After Li Shentong sat down, he said: "I was ordered by my eldest brother to go to Fufeng to inspect!" However, before I arrived in Fufeng, I encountered the defeated army retreating from Tianshui, and after careful inquiry, I learned that it was Xue Juqin who led an army of 100,000 people, who had already captured Tianshui and was attacking Fufeng! After learning about this situation, I immediately rushed back, and now I am afraid that Fufeng has also been captured by Xue Ju! ”

"Shhhh Hearing Li Shentong explain the situation so briefly, everyone couldn't help but gasp. The 100,000 army, in terms of strength, is not as many as Li Tang's soldiers and horses, but the problem is that the Western Qin army is fierce in battle, but it far exceeds Li Tang! The Tang army under Li Yuan is afraid that only the iron armor of the Western Capital, which is less than 50,000, can fight the Western Qin army! And what is even more frightening is that Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, actually went out in person, Xue Ju cooperated with the Western Qin army, which was almost invincible, such a lineup, for Li Yuan, it was also unprecedented difficulty!

"Lord Wang!" Pei Lian, who had not said anything before, also stood up and said to Li Yuan with a serious face: "If Fufeng is broken, then Chang'an will be in danger!" The prince should gather all the soldiers and horses to resist Xue Ju's army! ”

"Hmm!" Although Pei Lian's words could be regarded as nonsense, Li Yuan still nodded vigorously, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then shouted: "Completed, immediately pass on my military order, and order Shimin and Yuanji to lead all the soldiers and horses back to Chang'an!" Master Pei! You immediately repair a letter now, send it to Liangzhou, and ask Li Liang to send troops to attack Xue Ju, and you must force Xue Ju to retreat! ”

"Yes!" After Li Yuan's order was issued, Li Jiancheng and Pei Lin responded at the same time and received Li Yuan's order to retreat. Prior to this, Li Shiming led 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Hedong, while Li Yuanji, the fourth son of Li Yuan, led 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard Taiyuan. Now that Chang'an is in such a crisis, Li Yuan naturally wants to call back the army in the hands of his two sons to save his life! Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan issued orders again and again, and the civil and military courtiers in the entire council hall were mobilized to carry out Li Yuan's orders. The current situation has also become very serious, if you can't deal with it carefully, I'm afraid that the foundation that Li Yuan has so hard laid will be ruined!

Immediately afterwards, Li Yuan looked at Li Shentong again, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Divine power!" Now there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an City! I'll leave it all to you! Be sure to block Xue Ju's attack before reinforcements arrive! ”

Now Li Shentong is already Li Yuan's strongest general in Chang'an, so Li Yuan can only rely on his cousin! And Li Shentong was so entrusted by Li Yuan, and he couldn't care about the fatigue of running all the way back before, so he immediately stood up, clasped his fists and shouted: "Big brother, please rest assured!" Even if he is broken, the younger brother will definitely not live up to the trust of the eldest brother! ”

After speaking, Li Shentong saluted Li Yuan, turned his head and walked towards the outside of the conference hall. And in the blink of an eye, the meeting hall that was still full before, now only Li Yuan was left standing there. Li Yuan took a deep breath, but his hands were clenched into fists hard, and with a wave of force, as soon as his eyes opened, a cold light immediately flashed! I only heard Li Yuan hum: "Wanhe! Your head is there for now! One day, I will kill you and avenge my son!" ”

Zhencheng, ――――――――――――――――――――― ――――――――――――――――― dividing line, is located in the north of Dongping County, and it is also a small town, and since last year, the entire Dongping County has been occupied by the army of Haojie Gao Kaidao who went south! In the past few years, Gao Kaidao has slowly expanded his strength while gathering Geqian's old department, and now he has become the only overlord in Hebei and Shandong who can compete with Dou Jiande!

And with the death of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu, the center of the world's contention gradually shifted from Shandong and Hebei to Henan! Although Gao Kaidao was originally just a general loyal to Geqian, he has been in power for many years, and it is impossible to say that Gao Kaidao has no ambitions! Because of this, after seeing Dou Jiande suddenly go south, Gao Kaidao also chose to give up fighting with Luo Yi and Xue Shixiong for the land of Hebei and Shandong, followed by crossing the Yellow River and going south to Henan! Although Gao Kaidao's strength is not as good as Dou Jiande's, it does not prevent him from taking a trip to the troubled waters of Henan!

It's just that Gao Kaidao was still a little late, first let Yu Wenhua's army slip away from Xuzhou, but he turned around and ran to Hebei, and then it was a step too late, so that Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong formed an alliance! Gao Kaidao, who was originally worse than Dou Jiande's strength, is now not Dou Jiande's opponent, and in the end he can only lurk in Dongping County, standing still, waiting for the opportunity!
