After Liu Zhi and Fang Xingtian landed in a boat, the Sui soldiers who followed the boat said goodbye, and then walked inland. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The two of them were on the shore of Donghai County, first went to Donghai County to change two horses, and then contacted the people and horses of Langya Pavilion in the city, and obtained some of the latest information, Donghai County is located in the south of Shandong, north of Jianghuai, is a very famous Lianyungang in later generations, because there is a natural Haizhou Bay outside, so the shipping here is also relatively developed, and there are many merchants who run maritime trade.

Since Fang Xingtian was not very good at horseback riding, Liu Zhi chose to stay in Donghai County for a few more days to let Fang Xingtian get used to it more.

And he himself took this opportunity to give new instructions to the intelligence officers of Langya Pavilion in various places.

And he also learned about what had happened in the Central Plains in the few months he had been away.

At this time, Luoyang City was already Li Mi's territory, but Li Mi's identity was the King of Wei of the Great Sui, which was a king with a different surname, and the king with a different surname rarely appeared since ancient times, and the fate of the king with a different surname in history was basically not very good, mainly because of the suspicion and jealousy of those in power, and they were unwilling to leave them to their next generation, so as not to raise tigers, so most of them would dispose of the king with a different surname during their tenure, Liu Bang of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, this is not the case.

But the current Great Sui has changed, so Yang Tong in Luoyang has to make this decision.

During Liu Zhi's time on Jeju Island, there were two major events in the world, one was that Wang Shichong intended to rebel, but failed, lost Luoyang and took refuge in Li Shimin in the west, but his army had not yet reached Tongguan, and he heard the news that the Tang army would send troops, and he was worried that Li Shimin would be unfavorable to him, so he hurriedly crossed the river from Pujin to the north and took refuge in Li Yuanji in Hedong, thus becoming a subordinate of the crown prince.

This really angered Li Shimin, he had already guessed his thoughts when Wang Shichong led the army to cross the river, Li Shimin was not willing to suffer a loss, he immediately ordered the Tang army to pursue, as a result, the Sui army crossed the river half, and was caught up by the Tang army, more than 30,000 Sui troops were driven and forced into the Yellow River by the Tang army, as a result, more than half of the Sui army was drowned, Wang Shichong himself was fortunately running fast, otherwise he would have been drowned, but in this way, the sixty or seventy thousand horses he pulled out from the battle of Luoyang City were lost in half, There are only about 30,000 people left.

When Li Yuanji of Hedong knew the news, he was furious and immediately sent someone to pass the news to his brother.

How could Li Jiancheng endure Li Shimin's provocation, he immediately went to Li Yuan where to sue the emperor, Li Yuan was happy to hear the news, although Wang Shichong was not from a prestigious big family, but he was a major minister of the Great Sui, and he also had a large army in his hands, if he could receive his army, then it would be equivalent to reducing the great obstacles of the Tang army, and also strengthening the strength of the Tang army, so he planned to reuse Wang Shichong, even if he did not give real power, he would also be crowned a high-ranking official, In this way, it can play a good propaganda role, as a daughter to buy horses, it is to form an effect, so that the generals and ministers of the Sui army everywhere know that as long as they are willing to serve the Tang army, then they can be reused like Wang Shichong!

But at the moment, this is good, Li Shimin led the army to beat Wang Shichong severely, not only made Wang Shichong's troops suffer heavy losses, but more seriously caused irreparable damage to the reputation of the Tang Army, Wang Shichong was attacked by the Tang Army when he made it clear that he wanted to surrender, which would have a very bad impression on others and those who intended to lose sincerity to the Tang Army, that is, even if they took refuge in the Tang Army, they were in danger of being attacked and killed, so in this way, It will invisibly block the road of many Sui ministers who want to serve the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan originally loved and hated Li Shimin in his heart, Li Shimin was his son, he led the troops outside Li Yuan was very pleased, Li Shimin fought a lot of victories in Tongguan, he was also very happy, but as Li Shimin's strength became stronger and stronger, his staff and his army gradually showed some signs of getting out of control, which made Li Yuan a little vigilant, under his acquiescence, Li Jiancheng had no foundation in the army, but now he has successfully cultivated several forces close to him, such as Chai Shao's army, Li Yuanji's army, these are inclined to the crown prince Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan didn't know that when the world was in turmoil, there was a great hidden danger in dividing himself internally, but he couldn't allow Li Shimin's family to be dominant, so he made this decision, and this time, the reason why Li Shimin was so bold and reckless was to a large extent the result of his previous overindulgence, so he was thinking in his heart about how to weaken Li Shimin's strength.

In Tongguan, after sending troops to defeat Wang Shichong's army, Li Shimin realized that he might have created a catastrophe, and several of his core staff such as Liu Wenjing and Fang Xuanling were very opposed to his approach, but he was really angry at the time, angry with Wang Shichong's morning and evening, angry at his eldest brother digging into the wall foot, this is the decision, now the disaster has been broken, and it is useless to blame himself, you must think of a solution as soon as possible, otherwise with your eldest brother's temperament, He certainly wouldn't let himself go easily.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty must have known about this matter, our biggest problem at the moment is that we are too passive, so we must change from passive to active, otherwise we will definitely be controlled by others in this matter!"

Li Shimin didn't know this truth, but he didn't pay a good attention to what to do in his heart.

"Then what do you mean about this matter?"

Liu Wenjing took a step forward and said: "Your Highness, the minister has a plan, but it needs His Highness's full cooperation, and His Highness may suffer a little!" ”

Li Shimin reacted quickly, and immediately grasped the key point in his sentence, so he said: "You mean that we are going to take the blame?" ”

Liu Wenjing nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Your Majesty must be in a state of anger right now, Your Majesty has always paid attention to reputation and is easily unwilling to be corrupted, and His Royal Highness sent troops to attack the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty this time, which is bound to have a very bad impact on the Tang Dynasty, so Your Majesty must be extremely angry, so it is not believed that only the guilt of Jing Pleading!" ”

Li Shimin had an epiphany, after all, he was very smart, and he immediately knew what Liu Wenjing was planning to do, pointed to the east, and said to Liu Wenjing: "You mean to say that we have to be good at using external conditions to make a fuss?" ”

Liu Wenjing smiled slightly, "His Royal Highness is quick-witted, Weichen is exactly this reason, now that Li Mi has led the army into Luoyang and become the king of Luoyang Imperial Court, we can use his reputation to build momentum, then Wang Shichong has more than 100,000 elite soldiers under his command, and he is still inferior to Li Mi's Wagang army, now that Li Mi has led the army into Luoyang, then they must have cooperated sincerely, Li Mi has two important granaries in his hands, Huiluocang and Luokoucang, and Luoyang City is prosperous, the city has a large population, and there are many craftsmen and ordnance, the two learn from each other's strengths, then Li Mi's army will soon be transformed, from the previous poorly equipped, poorly trained peasant army, into an elite army with strong combat effectiveness and complete equipment, once this army is built, it will have a very bad impact on our Datang, and even bring a great threat, so we make a fuss about them, and there is nothing wrong with it! ”

Li Shimin nodded, Li Mi's Wei army has more than 300,000 people, if they are really given time, and if they prepare their armies for war, it will really be a big trouble in the future, so what Liu Wenjing said is not unreasonable, but this operation, how to get it, he really has no idea.

Li Shimin's city is very deep, and he has always been very scheming, otherwise he would not have won the battle for the throne, but because he is now unhappy in his heart and greatly disturbed by his emotions, his reaction is not as fast as usual.

Liu Wenjing sighed secretly, His Royal Highness King Qin is still young after all, if he is accumulating and precipitating for a few years, he will definitely not be in this impulsive and impetuous state at present, but this also proves that his vision is good, that is, Li Shimin has great potential, a lot of room for improvement, and his own qualifications are very good, with all the qualifications to become the overlord of Megatron, which is different from the crown prince Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng looks polite and outstanding, but he is not special, everything seems too mediocre, And there are many indecisiveness in his character, it is difficult for such a person to achieve great things, and Pei Lin took a fancy to his identity, but forgot his talent, and instead came to persuade himself, but Liu Wenjing himself identified Li Shimin, the king of Qin, and was moved by Pei Lian's rhetoric.

"Your Highness, Weichen thinks that we can buy off the merchants who came from Luoyang, and then let them spread the news that the Luoyang Imperial Court is going to use troops against the west on a large scale. Now it can be submitted, but the content of it is to be modified, as for how to modify, it is said that the activities of the Sui army in the Tongguan area are becoming more and more frequent, and there is a great intention to invade Tongguan, some of the scouts of the Sui army also tried to pass the Yellow River north to contact the Pei Ju troops in the pass, trying to join forces with the outside, attack on both sides, capture Tongguan, and coerce Chang'an, so that even if the imperial court does not believe our words, it will not dare to take it lightly, and Li Mi has always been alert, and the ability to grasp the opportunity is very strong, His Royal Highness went to Chang'an to apologize, you might as well leak the news, and then let Li Mi know, in this way, Li Mi will definitely think that Tongguan without His Highness's garrison will be a good opportunity to seize it, and he is likely to send troops to Tongguan, so that our chain plan has been successful. ”

Li Shimin frowned, and asked, "What is the serial plan that Mr. is talking about?" ”

Liu Wenjing arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, you went to Beijing to ask for guilt, although this is a solution to resolve the Wang Shichong incident, it is also a bureau under Weichen!" ”

Li Shimin was slightly unhappy in his heart, layout? Take your own layout? I believe that no one will be happy to hear such words, but after all, he knows the overall situation, so he did not dwell on this matter, and asked: "Sir, please tell me in detail, the people of the world would like to hear the details!" ”

Liu Wenjing said: "Your Highness goes west, you might as well bring 50,000 elite soldiers with you, in this way, even if the prince intends to murder, it is estimated that he will be afraid first, and His Majesty will not dare to be too harsh on His Highness, but in this matter, His Royal Highness should lead troops to Beijing on the grounds of relieving the military power, otherwise it is easy to be charged with intent to rebel, and this army must be fanfare at the beginning, and the more powerful the better, so that there are two effects, one can shock the young people of the Beijing Division, so that they dare not act rashly, On the one hand, the news can also be transmitted to Luoyang, so that they can send troops to attack, in order to cooperate with His Royal Highness singing in front of His Majesty, but this is acting after all, so His Royal Highness's army must not really be brought to Chang'an, after leaving Tongguan for seventy miles, this army will be left behind, and His Highness can only bring a few people into Beijing, otherwise, if Li Mi's army really comes, Weichen is afraid that Tongguan will be lost. ”

Li Shimin nodded, "Everything is according to Mr.'s words!" ”

Liu Wenjing was very pleased, Li Shimin listened to himself without asking the reason, which was a kind of full trust in himself, which made him feel very happy.

"Your Highness must still be wondering, where is the chain of the chain I am talking about? And listen to me carefully, the minister received a secret report, Jiangdu's Yuwen family intended to rebel, ready to kill the king and usurp the throne, this news came at the end of last month, and now it is the beginning of the month, presumably the Yuwen family has already started, then the Great Sui at this time has actually existed in name only, and once the Yuwen family seizes power, it will definitely want to take away the world, His Royal Highness led the army westward, attracting the defenders of Luoyang City to attack Tongguan, and then Luoyang City is empty, Tongguan defenders are tens of thousands, even if they take away 50,000 horses, There are still nearly 100,000, so Li Mi will definitely send more than 200,000 troops to attack, and in this way, the defenders guarding Luoyang will become very sparse, and the Yuwen family will definitely lead the army to attack Luoyang, and His Majesty will not dare to punish His Royal Highness after knowing that Li Mi sent troops to Tongguan, thinking of the safety of Tongguan, His Royal Highness will not dare to punish His Highness, and His Royal Highness can lead the army back, and at this time Li Mi must have received a distress letter from Luoyang, and he will definitely lead the army back in a hurry, and what we need to do is to take the opportunity to quietly send troops, and when the two armies are fighting to the death, Defeat them in one fell swoop, if this battle can be won, His Royal Highness will lay the hegemony of the world, and after taking the two largest forces of Li Mi and Yu Wenshu, there will only be a small-scale chaotic army like Xiao Mo and Dou Jiande, when the time comes, His Royal Highness will collect the remnants of Li Mi and Yu Wenshu, the army will be greatly boosted, and it will be easy to lead the army to pacify the two of them, and with the momentum of great victory and immortal achievements, His Royal Highness is far from the East Palace, I am afraid that it is not far away!
