When the Eastern Capital was in full swing to restore the people's livelihood and Luokou sharpened his knife and Huo Huo's fierce battle, Li Yuan also ushered in a major turning point in his life in Chang'an, Xijing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The guard of honor is neat, the drums are ringing, Li Yuan conquered Chang'an, and immediately established the king Yang Yu as the emperor, and Yang Guang was respected as the emperor, and now it is said that at this moment, it is the enthronement ceremony of Yang Yu.

Yang Yu walked to the throne in fear, although it was surrounded by gold and splendor, and there were many palace people and palace maids around him, he had a feeling of walking in the wilderness.

He really doesn't want to be an emperor! But he couldn't be the emperor, he didn't know that Li Yuan would conquer Chang'an so quickly, and he didn't know how long his emperor could last!

Thinking that when Sergeant Li Yuan broke through Xijing, all the officials were scattered, and only Yao Silian, the attendant, was still by his side, Yang Yu couldn't help but feel cold.

Yang Yu is the son of Prince Yuande and the grandson of Yang Guang, and has always stayed in Xijing. But Yang Guang has always been disliked in Xijing, because in addition to traveling to inspect and open up the territory throughout the year, he stayed in the eastern capital, except for the necessary sacrifices, rarely in Xijing. If the eastern capital is still dominated by the nouveau riche, Xijing is largely controlled by the gate lord clan. Another reason why Yang Guangshao went to Xijing is the same, he doesn't have any sense of security in Xijing.

After Yang Guang went to Jiangnan, the top priority in the eastern capital was to arrange it quite properly, but he didn't attach importance to Xijing, but he just sent Wei Wensheng to Xijing to guard, plus a Zuo Yiwei general Yin Shishi, Jingzhao County Cheng Guyi, Yin Shishi is similar to Huangfu Wuyi, he has ambition but no ability, he only knows how to stick to Xijing, and fantasizes that Yang Guang can fall from the sky. As a result, Yang Guang didn't come, and after Li Yuan passed through Huoyi, he attacked Chang'an like a bamboo!

With the covert support of the old lord clan, Li Yuan barely spent much effort attacking Xijing.

Thinking that Li Yuan went all the way south, countless old lords and scholars rushed to take refuge first, plus Li Yuan was quite benevolent all the way, opened a warehouse and released grain, generous to others, and enlarged the grain of Sui, it was to respond to Xijing from the hundred officials to the people, even if the soldiers who defended the city were tired of Xijing's inaction, Xijing was dispensable in Yang Guang's heart, so unlike the Eastern Capital, there were rescuers to look forward to, and there was nothing to do to defend the city, how could he do his best?

As a result, since Li Yuan ordered the siege of the city, he broke through the seemingly impregnable Xijing almost effortlessly, Yin Shishi and Gu Yi were killed in the city, and Wei Wen was promoted to the secretary of the military department, unable to return to the sky, unable to afford to be ill, and it can be said that he is dying.

Two of the three important ministers around Yang Yu died and one fell ill, and the rest rushed to kiss Li Yuan's feet, where would they take into account this declining prince and grandson!

Li Yuan once again played a good show, claiming to support the Sui room, and ordered everyone not to be rude to Yang Yu, first meet Yang Yu in the East Palace, and then invite him to live in the Daxing Hall in Xijing.

When Xiao Buyi was ambitious in the Daxing Hall of the Eastern Capital, Yang Yu began to sink in the Daxing Hall of Xijing.

Li Yuan chose to live in Changle Palace, and the implication was obviously that he hoped that he would be happy and happy today. After Li Yuan entered the Changle Palace, he immediately implemented benevolent government and was busy rewarding, and the courtiers who followed Shouyi and the people who transported grain and offered advice were rewarded. Then Li Yuan waited for the situation to settle down a little, and began to eagerly support the Sui Chamber and support Yang Yu as the emperor!

Of course, Li Yuan is a drunkard, he doesn't mean to drink, he and Xiao Buyi are different, but they also have the same, the same is that they both want to win the world, and the difference is that they have different excuses for taking the world. Xiao Buyi can use Yang Guang's name to order the world, Li Yuan does not have Yang Guang's name, he can only make his own decisions, but he hopes to support the puppet to act conveniently.

Looking at the puppet emperor on the throne, the corners of Li Yuan's mouth showed a thoughtful smile, he had now taken the most critical step, and all the steps were not much different from what he expected.

He seems to be smooth sailing, who knows that this is the result of years of planning!

Take Xihe, Dingjiang County, Keyongfeng, attack Tongguan, break Chang'an, all the steps are in order, and the most gratifying thing for Li Yuan is that the two sons have begun to show military talent after a series of battles, especially when they were built in the east of the river and Keyongfeng, showing the style of a general, in contrast, Shimin is still a little immature, but Li Yuan is not harsh, after all, Shimin is still too young, as long as he listens to his own orders to do, and then arranges some ministers to assist, Shimin can also become talented.

It's just that what makes Li Yuan a little reassuring is that the people of the world are so good at making friends who are brave and ruthless, which is very unfavorable for him to fight in the future.

The bell chime rang three times, the ritual music was over, Yang Yu sat on the throne tremblingly, looked around at the ministers, and said with a forced smile: "The saint is three thousand miles away in Jiangdu, and he has no intention of Xijing." Guanzhong is in chaos and urgently needs to be rectified. Now I ascended the throne, respected the saint as the emperor, changed the year name to Yining, and hoped that the world would be peaceful for a long time under the righteousness of Tang Guogong, but the world was still chaotic, everything was simple, there was something to play, nothing to do......"

Before he finished speaking, someone stepped forward and said, "Holy Lord, Weichen has something to play." ”

Yang Yu saw that it was Pei Lian, so he could only smile and said, "I don't know what Pei Changshi is doing?" ”

Pei Lin Zhengse said: "Qi Yu Sheng, if you want to be in chaos in Guanzhong, you have to maintain Tang Guogong to maintain stability, I want him to support the Sui family, and he has made great contributions, Tang Guogong doesn't say anything, how can the saint not say anything, if so, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people in the world?" ”

Li Yuan scolded: "Pei Changshi, don't be rude. What we are doing is only what we do, so how can we ask for a reward? ”

Yang Yu hurriedly said: "Tang Guogong must not be angry, I am negligent and inconsiderate. What Pei Changshi said is very reasonable, and I will reward it. Hesitating, Yang Yu said: "Tang Guogong has made meritorious contributions to supporting the Sui family, I have added Tang Guogong as the king of Tang, Shang Shuling, the prime minister, and the king of Tang can hold Huang Yue, hold the festival, and command hundreds of officials, all the military and political affairs of Xijing, regardless of size, are handled by the king of Tang, I don't know what the king of Tang wants?" ”

Huang Yue is an axe decorated with gold, which was originally used by the emperor, and can also be given to the important ministers of the dictatorship, symbolizing status, and holding the festival is a title, holding the festival is to kill any person who has no official position, without needing to report. Yang Yu sealed so much in one breath, which means that Li Yuan, how do you like to play, I respect you, just leave me alive.

Li Yuan respectfully saluted: "The saint is very kind, and the old minister is ashamed. ”

Yang Yu could only say: "King Tang is too modest, he deserves it, he deserves it!" All these government affairs must be handed over to the Tang King, but I am afraid that the Tang King will have to work hard, and I am ashamed in my heart. ”

The two of them had finished being polite, but Li Yuan had already turned around and announced: "The Holy Lord has worked hard to ascend the throne, and it is not appropriate for me to bother the Holy Lord with trivial matters here." This king decided to take the Wude Hall as the prime minister's house, and every time he said to deal with political affairs in the Qianhua Gate, if there is something in the Qing family, please go to the Qianhua Gate to deal with it! ”

As soon as his voice fell, he had already walked outside the hall first, and the ministers followed behind him, and with the help of tea, there were only a few palace people and palace maids left in the huge palace looking at each other, and there was no one left left by the ministers around Yang Yu.

The corners of Yang Yu's mouth twitched, his face was extremely ugly, but he silently got up and turned back to the harem, and when he saw his mother Concubine Wei, he finally couldn't help but throw himself into his mother's arms, and cried loudly: "Mother, I don't want to be an emperor, what should we do?" ”

Concubine Wei had already burst into tears, but she just hugged her son tightly and was helpless......**

Li Yuan finished the entertainment and hurried to deal with government affairs, in fact, he also knew that the difficulties he faced were no less than Xiao Buyi, because of various scruples, he started far later than Xiao Buyi, and only by going all out could he compete with Xiao Buyi. When people were openly handling government affairs in Qianhuamen, Li Yuan first ordered that in order to reduce the burden on the saints, no matter how big or small the military and political affairs were in the future, the appointment and removal of officials, and the implementation and punishment of the rules and regulations system would all be handled by the Prime Minister's Office! The only thing Yang Yu can do is to worship the heavens and ancestors!

Next, Li Yuan carried out a series of appointments and dismissals.

One order after another was passed down like flowing water, but Li Yuan did not have the slightest tired expression. The excitement of being in power filled his body and mind, and he felt that he was twenty years younger.

But when it felt right, there was an urgent military situation, which gave him a slap in the face.

The military order is simple and clear, 'Emperor Xue Ju's son of the Qin Emperor Xue Renguo led an army of 300,000 to attack Fufeng and coveted Xijing! ’

When Li Yuan saw the news, his head was a little dizzy, and he felt that he was back to when he was old, he knew that Xue Ju was a great enemy, and he also knew that the Guanlong lords all coveted the land of Guanzhong, so he came to grab Guanzhong non-stop. But he still didn't expect that Xue Ju had already been pressed by a large army when he was not firmly established. In fact, he still had some luck in his heart, thinking that Xue Ju might be able to cross the Yellow River west to attack Wuwei's Li Rail, but they were obviously not stupid, and Xue Renguo's heavy troops were already imperative for them to win Guanzhong.

If Li Yuan is to cover his ears and steal the bell, Xue Renguo obviously dares to risk the disapproval of the world, he directly revealed the ambition of being the emperor, since he rebelled, he called himself the overlord of Western Qin, according to the land of Longxi, soon gathered 130,000 soldiers, and soon called the emperor, the year name Qin Xing.

Xue Ju himself is very fierce, and his son Xue Renguo is also an invincible opponent, with strong martial arts, and he is nicknamed ten thousand enemies by a sergeant.

The soldiers of Longxi are very strong, the cavalry is good at fighting, and it is definitely not easy to deal with, Li Yuan has fallen into deep thought, thinking about how to deal with the number one enemy at the moment!

**

When Li Yuan groaned to deal with it, Li Shimin was also busy, and he had never been so proud. When Li Jiancheng was now stationed in Yongfengcang to guard against the soldiers of Tongguan, he had the leisure to include the heroes who belonged to him as his staff. By the time he captured Chang'an, his more than 10,000 available soldiers had quickly expanded to more than 30,000, and Li Yuan had an order to order Li Caiyu and Chai Shao to set up their own shogunates. Li Caiyu made great contributions to the recruitment of Lantian soldiers because of his family members in Baodong, but Chai Shao also played a big role in the capture of Chang'an, so he was very valued by Li Yuan.

Fighting brothers, fathers and sons, of course, Li Yuan's most trusted relatives at the moment are the immediate family members of the Li family!

After Li Shimin dealt with the soldier Li Xiyu, he was full of confidence and secretly thought that there was nothing to do in the world. Seeing Li Xianyu's grateful and frightened look, a sense of pride arose in Li Shimin's heart.

It turned out that before Li Yuan attacked Chang'an, the soldier Li Xiyu had suggested that the Yin Shishi should first send troops to defend the Yongfeng warehouse, open the warehouse and release grain, and fight against the thief with one heart against Li Yuan. His suggestion was good, but the Yin Shishi didn't use it at all, Li Xianyu had to ask to go to Shannan to recruit soldiers, the Yin Shishi agreed this time, and when Li Yuan broke through Chang'an, Li Yuan recalled Li Xiyu and appointed him as the servant Shaoqing, Li Zhengyu saw that the Sui Dynasty was gone, so he came back to take refuge, and calculated the relationship, Li Xianyu was still a relative of the Li family, Li Xianyu saw that the Li father and son ignored the previous suspicions, and naturally thanked Dai De and made a big deal to Li Shimin.

Although Li Shimin has been attached to many people recently, it can only be regarded as Corporal Lixian, but it is the first time he has tasted the benefits of power, and he can't help but feel stunned for a while, remembering that although Xiao Buyi is now in a high position, he is not arrogant, and he can't help but secretly wake up himself.

Since he met Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi has always been high to him, and he has always targeted Xiao Buyi and tried to win over Xiao Buyi. But for now, it seems that they are destined to be enemies.

At this time, a soldier came to announce: "Wei Jun, the son of Wei Wensheng, asks to see him." ”

Li Shimin was slightly stunned, remembering which Wei Jun was. This person was insignificant, but he liked Li Meier, and he didn't know his whereabouts since he left the Eastern Capital, but he didn't know what he was doing when he came to him.

Thinking of Wei Wensheng, and secretly thinking that the main thing should be to win over at the moment, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Please let him in." ”

When Wei Jun entered Li Shimin's mansion, he was a little down, but he got straight to the point: "Duke Dunhuang, we can actually join forces to deal with Xiao Buyi!" ”

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, and he said abruptly: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"The general trend of the world should be dominated by the Li family and Xiao Buyi." Wei Jun breathed a long sigh of relief, "Although the Duke of Dunhuang is a lie, I think you must want to eradicate Xiao Buyi's henchman. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Wei Jun, what are you talking about?" What are you here for? You must know that Liang Guobu and I have a very good relationship, how can people like you provoke, come, and send off guests! ”

Wei Jun was originally a bamboo in his chest, and when he saw Li Shimin's unkind face, he was a little panicked, "Duke Dunhuang, you listen to me......"

Li Shimin's attitude softened, "Wei Jun, if you are here to return to Shun, I will welcome you with both hands, but if you want to provoke, then you have changed your mind." ”

Wei Jun's face flashed with astonishment, and he said after a while: "Duke Dunhuang, in my opinion, if Xiao Buyi is entrenched in the Central Plains and defeats Li Mi, the next step will be to choose to enter Guanzhong." Li Shimin's heart trembled slightly, but he still said calmly: "So what? There are virtuous people living in this world, and my father rebelled against the soldiers, but he just wanted to support the Sui family and return the world to stability. If Liang Guogong can stabilize the world, it is also something we hope for. ”

Wei Jun felt that he and Li Shimin were not speculative, and the initial hesitation turned into hesitation, "Duke Dunhuang, no matter what, I always feel that Xiao Buyi will definitely be unfavorable to you." If the general trend is gone after he defeats Wagang, it will definitely be half the effort to attack him again. I have always been near Poyang, and I have a very good relationship with Lin Shihong, the king of Nanyue. According to the judgment of the king of Nanyue, the Xiangyang soldiers have recently adopted a defensive position, and the offensive against the armies in the south of the Yangtze River has been slowed down. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, his heart beat wildly, "You say...... What's new in their army? ”

Wei Jun hesitated, "It should be so, originally after they captured Quetou Town, they should go east or south, Pei Xingyan is brave and invincible, and Xu Shiji is in the rear, Du Ruhui is strategizing, these three people have few opponents together." But they suddenly didn't move for a long time, of course they didn't sit and wait for dinner? The king of Nanyue speculated that they were planning a shocking conspiracy after all! ”

When Li Shimin listened to Wei Jun's analysis of the general trend of the world, he was still disdainful, but when he heard him say this, his face changed slightly. He couldn't help but admit that Wei Jun was right, how could Xu Shiji, Pei Xingyan and others be lonely?

They didn't move, and it was far more terrifying than the great Xingbingge.

"And what do you think they're doing?" Li Shimin asked.

"It may be in the middle of the plot!" Wei Jun said categorically: "So the king of Nanyue sent me to ask the Duke of Dunhuang to send troops to Tongguan, and we will send troops to the south of the Yangtze River, so that we can form a joint encirclement with Wagang against Xiao Buyi. ”

Wei Jun looked at Li Shimin expectantly, but Li Shimin had already determined that this guy had no brains.

Tongguan is still in the hands of Sui Chen Sang Xianhe, but Hedong is Sui Chen Ying Yanglang will guard Yao Junsu, Sang Xianhe is just that, Liu Wenjing said that there is a good way to persuade him, but Yao Junsu is brave and good at fighting, and the commander has a program, and Liu Wenjing is also helpless. These two places did not fall into the hands of his father, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want to get out of Tongguan.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin could only sigh secretly, and said in his heart that this level is not so good to be won, and it is still debatable how sincere this Wei Jun is.

"Wei Jun, don't hide it, I have a very close relationship with Liang Guobus, and I definitely can't make a move to attack him, you are only afraid that you will come for nothing." Li Shimin shook his head and said: "I heard that Ling Zun is seriously ill, you should go back early to visit, come and see off guests." ”

Wei Jun was about to be persuaded and saw that Li Shimin had retreated to the back hall, so he couldn't help but leave angrily. Li Shimin groaned slightly, and set off for the Wude Palace.

When he entered the hall, he saw Li Yuan's face calm, and Pei Lian, Tang Jian, Yin Kaishan, Liu Zhenghui and others were all present. In addition to these old ministers, the eldest grandson Shunde, Li Caiyu, and Chai Shao were also all present, except for the eldest grandson Shunde, all of them had solemn faces. The eldest grandson Shunde just looked at a painting in the hall and pondered, and Li Shimin walked in, and he didn't pay attention.

Seeing Li Shimin coming, Li Yuan was relieved: "Shimin, you came just in time, I was about to send someone to find you." ”

Li Shimin saw that everyone's faces were not good, and his heart suddenly changed, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Li Yuan sighed lightly, "Ten thousand enemies Xue Renguo led an army of 300,000 to attack Fufeng, and Liu Hongji was in a hurry and asked for support. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows, "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, since Xue Renguo is here, I'm afraid it's useless, the child is willing to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to fight Xue Renguo, and the manager will let him not leave a piece of armor." ”

Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Nonsense! ”

Yin Kaishan said with a smile: "The courage of the Duke of Dunhuang is commendable, and the Tang King must not blame." ”

Li Yuan restrained his anger and sighed: "The dog is arrogant, but it makes you laugh. ”

Li Shimin could only smile bitterly, since he went south with his father, he has rarely received his father's praise, although it is said that jade is not cut, but he is always so cut, and he is still a little depressed in his heart. But after thinking about it, my father actually took him very seriously, and this move was also a spur, and when I thought of this, I was immediately relieved.

Li Yuan asked Yin Kaishan and said: "Brother Yin, I think you and Shimin have attacked Fufeng, and you are quite familiar with the situation there, I don't know if Fufeng can hold it in your opinion?" ”

Although Li Yuan is now the king of Tang, he has always called the old courtiers a brother and a brother, and even the bed can be sat together, Pei Yuan frowned, and wanted to say something, but finally held back.

Yin Kaishan stroked his beard and said: "King Tang doesn't have to worry too much, he thinks that Xue Renguo is cruel, he doesn't know how to show grace, he is harsh on people, and he came from afar, and his food is not enough." We have two big cities, Fufeng and Yixian, Liu Hongji is very calm, and it is never a problem to hold on. As long as there is a stalemate, it is now a cold winter, and there is no harvest in the fields. As long as they are short of food and grass, and the morale of the army is unstable, they will definitely be defeated! ”

Liu Zhenghui said: "What Yin Changshi said is extremely true, in fact, although Xue Renguo is strong, we don't have to confront them head-on. As long as they send strange soldiers to attack their grain routes, Xue Renguo's grain and grass will not be able to help, and they will be defeated. ”

Li Yuan was silent for a long time, "What Brother Yin and the political council said is also reasonable, but I want Xue Renguo to plunder and help the wind, and the grain and grass can be supplied for a period of time. ”

Of course, Li Yuan's intentions are obvious, this is his first battle in the main pass, let Xue Renguo run rampant and overbearing, and take captivity for a while, where is his face?

Li Shimin pleaded: "The child is willing to go to the army of Xue Renguo. ”

Li Yuan ignored it, just looked at the eldest grandson Shunde and said, "Shunde, I don't know what you have to do?" ”

He asked twice, and the eldest grandson Shunde came back to his senses, Li Yuan was not dissatisfied, but just waited patiently. The eldest grandson Shunde said after a while: "Actually, what you said also makes sense. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, I don't know whose opinion you agree with?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde pondered for a long time, obviously did not hear what everyone said, everyone was silent, hidden dissatisfied, the eldest grandson Shunde finally said: "Xue Renguo is coming strongly, of course, the wise move is not to take the front seriously, otherwise it is inevitable that both sides will lose and suffer heavy losses." However, he came long distances to get the wind, and the grain and grass were a problem, and as long as we waited for the deep ravines and ravines to resist, it would be difficult for him to shake the foundation of our guanzhong. But if you want to defeat them, you should consider them from several directions, first of all, the cold weather and the freezing ground, hit their grain routes, and disrupt the hearts of the army. The second is that Zhang Changxun, the Taishou of Wuyuan, was originally a Sui minister, and now he is attached to the Turks, so we can send someone to contact Zhang Changxun, reward the official, and ask him to attack Xue Renguo's back road. But I think the most important thing is to contact the Turks......"

Everyone had a disapproving look on their faces, and Li Shimin said on the side: "Uncle, I think that the Khan has sworn not to send troops again, what is the use of me contacting them?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled slightly, "Although Shibi Khan no longer sends troops, as far as I know, Xue Renguo's troops this time are supported by the Turks. They have been in Longyou for a long time, and they are good at horse warfare, so we can't wait for a short gram, just wait for the opportunity! Shibi Khan has a younger brother named Dubi, who is fierce, but he is extremely greedy for money and stingy, and he is now haunting the north of the Five Plains, seeking benefits. This time, he sent troops to support Xue Renguo, and if we persuade Du Bi to support us with a large profit, Xue Renguo will be defeated without a fight! At that time, Xue Renguo will lose support, and the first rat will be at both ends, and then let the people of the world lead the troops to attack, and he will win a complete victory! ”

When Yin Kaishan heard this, his eyes showed admiration, "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Changsun is known to be a great talent, and when I see it today, it really deserves his reputation." ”

Everyone listened to the eldest grandson Shunde's analysis, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, originally they saw the lazy appearance of the eldest grandson Shunde, and they were all dissatisfied in their hearts, because of Li Yuan's face, they could only suppress it. But I heard that the eldest grandson Shunde had already made a conclusion, and I couldn't help but admire, and my dissatisfaction was swept away.

Li Yuan showed a happy expression, and suddenly remembered something and said: "Shunde, Dubi is greedy for money, but the Turks have always been cruel and untrustworthy, and I don't know who to send to persuade Dubi?" ”

Everyone was silent, and Li Shimin said: "Liu Wenjing can go." ”

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "Liu Wenjing is now guarding the border with Jiancheng, and it is also a great responsibility, and he must not leave without permission. Shunde, you are quite familiar with the Turks, why don't you make a hard trip, I don't know what you think? ”

The eldest grandson Shunde nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

Li Yuan showed a pleased smile and continued to ask, "Now that we have made a preliminary decision in Guanzhong, I don't know what good strategies your Qing family has to consolidate Guanzhong?" ”

Li Shimin suddenly said: "I have a suggestion." ”

Li Yuan didn't reprimand this time, but said slowly: "Shimin, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The terrain of Guanzhong is narrow, we should expand the territory, and ask people to pacify the three places east of Longyou, Shannan, and Tongguan, and after defeating Xue Renguo, we should occupy these three places first." ”

Everyone nodded, feeling that Li Shimin was already mature, but Li Yuan sighed and said: "What Shimin said this time also makes a lot of sense, Longyou is in Xue Ju's sphere of influence, the land of Bashu in Shannan, if you don't accept education, you can send filial piety to go." East of Ketong Pass...... We haven't even captured Tongguan, how can we pacify the east of Tongguan? ”

Although Li Yuan was worried, he was somewhat praised, Li Shimin was in high spirits, and secretly thought that Fang Xuanling was talented, and it was not bad to give advice. Of course, these ideas were thought up by Fang Xuanling and said through Li Shimin's mouth.

Everyone looked at each other, secretly thinking that Qu Tutong was going out of the city to fight against Li Jiancheng and others, and this Tongguan really didn't know what to do. At this time, a soldier passed an urgent official document, Li Yuan opened it and looked at it, his face showed a strange look, as if he was happy, as if he didn't believe it, and he was still a little puzzled, but he finally read the official document out, "Liu Wenjing has persuaded Sang Xian and Kaecheng to offer the pass, Qu Tutong has suffered from the enemy on his back and has surrendered. ”

Everyone was overjoyed and said in unison: "Congratulations to King Tang!" ”

Li Shimin was also overjoyed and said: "Liu Wenjing really lives up to the trust, Dad, he should be rewarded!" ”

Li Yuan's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he was speechless for a long time, everyone was very happy, but they didn't notice that the eldest grandson Shunde frowned, and muttered to himself: "Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn a boat, who can say clearly?" ”

**

Li Caiyu was not far from the eldest grandson Shunde, and when he heard him talking to himself, he was puzzled and asked, "Uncle, what did you say?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde shook his head, but he had already grown up and said: "King Tang, it is not too late to persuade Du Biyi to do it, I will ask you to travel today, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Li Yuan hurriedly said: "Of course you can, I'm just afraid that Shunde will be hard." Wait for me to prepare the jewelry, send someone to escort me, and notify Shunde when it is safe. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde nodded, but he had already left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and walked a few steps along the street, when he felt that someone was watching him, turned his head to look over, and saw Ma Sanbao look away. The eldest grandson Shunde groaned slightly, but greeted him, "Three Treasures......"

Ma Sanbao was a little stunned, and he didn't give a salute, "What's the matter with Mr. Changsun?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde hesitated for a moment, "I'm going to the grassland." ”

"Huh?" Ma Sanbao's face was surprised, and he was calm as usual for a moment, "What does that have to do with me?" Mr. Eldest Sun, do you want to take me with you? Then I'll have to ask the lady for permission. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde shook his head, "The grassland is sinister, so I don't need you to go with me." By the way, now that the battle is dangerous, you have to be careful. ”

Ma Sanbao's eyes were full of surprise, and he said after a while: "Mr. Xie Changsun cares. ”

"Also, if things go well, I'll be back soon. Of course...... If it didn't go well, I might have died there, and I wouldn't have to worry about it. ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said strangely, drifted away, and ignored Ma Sanbao again. Ma Sanbao had a suspicious look in his eyes and muttered, "What does he mean?" ”

"I don't have to worry about you!" Suddenly, a voice shouted not far away.

Ma Sanbao didn't care about Sun Shunde, the chairman of the council, turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from, only to see Li Caiyu running out of the Prime Minister's Mansion angrily, and Chai Shao followed closely.

Seeing Ma Sanbao, Li Caiyu grabbed it, "Sanbao, follow me." ”

Ma Sanbao couldn't cry or laugh, knowing that Li Caiyu was using himself as a shield again. Although Li Caiyu looks good, he has another purpose, he has no feelings for Li Caiyu, and he has been following Li Caiyu, but he feels that she is a little depressed and has a sense of sympathy.

Chai Shao saw Ma Sanbao here, his face was gloomy, he pulled out his sword with a 'chok' sound, and shouted angrily: "Ma Sanbao, you get out of the way for me." ”

Ma Sanbao didn't wait to get out, Li Caiyu had already sneered: "It's so majestic and evil, if you have such a bad spirit towards Xiao Buyi." ”

Chai Shao's face turned red, but Li Caiyu stepped forward, "If you are powerful, kill me with a sword, and take down people with great dignity?" ”

Seeing that Chai Shao was silent, Li Caiyu didn't know what he was expecting, and finally turned his head and left, but the moment he left, the corners of his eyes were shining, and he was about to cry again. She really didn't know what she was sad for, let alone what she was expecting...... Ma Sanbao caught a glimpse of the tears in the corners of Li Caiyu's eyes and muttered, "Why are you so troubled!" ”

**

"Why are you doing this!"

When Ma Sanbao sighed, Xiao Buyi was also sighing, he stared into the distance, thoughtful. Sun Shaofang was a little stunned when he heard this, and asked puzzledly, "Xiao ...... King Xiliang, what do you say? ”

The two of them stood on the bank of the Luoshui River, looking into the distance, the sun was rising, but the earth and mountains were vast and dark gray, full of gloom.

The weather is getting colder, but Cher still hasn't fallen after all.

It's like a warm winter, but the killing brought by Bing Ge is chilling from the inside out! On both sides of Luoshui, the remnants of the flag and broken armor are full of desolation, and the blood stains the black soil, but because of the cold, there is less disgusting smell.

Xiao Buyi frowned slightly, and when he heard Sun Shaofang ask, he turned his head, "You used to call me Boss Xiao all the time, why did you change your name recently?" ”

Sun Shaofang smiled bitterly and said: "I see that you are becoming an official day by day, presumably in the near future...... Maybe they will all be emperors? Seeing that Xiao Buyi was silent, Sun Shaofang sighed lightly, "Since that's the case...... I'd better call you King Xiliang. ”

Xiao Buyi turned his head and looked at Sun Shaofang for a long time, "But I still like you to call me Boss Xiao, even if I call me the king and the emperor, the brother is still the brother, I will never forget the moment when you protected me when you were in the rich casino." ”

Sun Shaofang's eyes showed emotion, "I am also a loyal monarch's order, but it is not as great as you imagined!" ”

"Really?" A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Buyi's mouth, warm, "I think so...... Enough is enough. ”

The two fell silent, only to hear the river flowing, Xiao Buyi leaned down, looked at the river, and sighed lightly: "It's a lot colder, and in a few days, I'm afraid it will freeze." In the next month, it's going to be the New Year again, and we are all looking forward to a good year. ”

Sun Shaofang didn't know Xiao Buyi's intentions and remained silent, but Xiao Buyi slowly stood up, "We've been fighting for three days." ”

"Boss Xiao...... Our army seems to be unfavorable, but the tenacity of the Wagang army is still beyond our imagination. Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and others are all generals, and only these two people can guard Luokoucang, and Zhang Zhenzhou and Wang Shichong can't conquer it. We attacked Luokou and Yuecheng, and there was always a Wagang army in Luokou to help, so I would return in vain! ”

Xiao Buyi smiled, "Of course, it is not easy for you to snatch bones from the mouth of a vicious dog. You're going to have to snatch the granary from these hungry thieves, and of course it's about the same difficulty! ”

"And you're going to let them attack?" Sun Shaofang asked puzzled.

Xiao Buyi looked into the distance, "One intention is to lead Fang Xuanzao and Bing Yuanzhen, who are guarding the two cities, to fight, and the other intention is to see Wang Shichong's reaction." At the moment of life and death, you can see a person's true colors. There are more and more people around me now, but there are fewer and fewer opportunities to test, and for my brothers who were born and died before, one test is enough. I think...... What others can give to my brother, I can also give! ”

Sun Shaofang lowered his head and sighed lightly: "It's my luck to be able to follow Boss Xiao. ”

Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "Wang Shichong still can't stand the test, he is obviously still plotting against me." ”

"How does Boss Xiao know?" Sun Shaofang asked in surprise.

"I ordered it, Zhang Zhenzhou strictly implemented it, but Wang Shichong cut corners and always stopped. Before the Wagang army came to fight, it would withdraw to the camp. Xiao Buyi sneered at the corner of his mouth, "He made such a small move, did he really think I was blind?" ”

Sun Shaofang came to his senses at this time, and said after a while: "I see." Then now Boss Xiao is here......"

"Come and attack the city." Xiao Buyi said lightly: "We can't stop for a few days, we are always defeated, the Wagang army has slacked off, at this time, isn't it a good opportunity for us to attack?" ”

Sun Shaofang's spirits perked up, "Siege today? ”

"Yes, that's it!"

**

After Xiao Buyi finished speaking, he had already ridden his horse to the Sui army camp in the distance, Zhang Zhenzhou was cautious, and camped according to Luoshui in the north mountain, on the one hand, it was convenient to attack Luokou, but on the other hand, it was to resist the attack of the Wagang army.

Every time he sent troops to attack Luokou, he said that he would return to the camp to rest, although Fang Xuanzao was itching with hatred, but Zhang Zhenzhou advanced and retreated, and he did not dare to pursue rashly.

If the attack is fierce, Luokoucang will naturally have a large army to help, and it will go back and forth several times, and the Wagang army will be a little settled. Zhang Zhenzhou was not in a hurry, but he was in control of the damage, not in a hurry.

Xiao Buyi didn't wait for the front of the camp to arrive, and a soldier stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing?" Token! ”

Sun Shaofang scolded: "The King of Xiliang is here, why don't you bow down?" ”

Xiao Buyi was dressed in ordinary attire, but he covered his face with a helmet, and when he lifted the helmet slightly, some soldiers had already recognized Xiao Buyi, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "My subordinates don't know that the king of Xiliang has arrived, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Xiao Buyi had already reached out to help the soldier up, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise." ”

The soldier nodded, although he had doubts, but the king of Xiliang had a will, and he didn't dare to disobey it if he had a few heads. Several soldiers next to him also looked at each other, not understanding why the king of Xiliang rushed to the camp, but they were all slightly excited.

In their minds, every time Xiao Buyi appears, it will cause earth-shattering things, and this time must be no exception. It's just that he didn't capture Luokou for a few days, did the king of Xiliang blame General Zhang for coming?

Xiao Buyi walked slowly into the camp, saw that the camp was well arranged, nodded secretly, and there were also game envoys along the way, obviously the weather outside the camp was solemn, and the same was true inside the camp. Xiao Buyi revealed his identity, so that they didn't want to make a noise, everyone was surprised, but they all obeyed awe. The soldier has begun to bury the pot to cook, ten people on a fire, prepare breakfast, smile, squat next to a firehead, pass the firewood over, the firehead soldier nodded, and a firehead soldier saw that the rice was cooked, and shouted: "It's time to eat." ”

The shouts and cheers came one after another, and the soldiers all gathered in front of their stoves, silently preparing to eat.

Xiao Buyi looked at it silently, suddenly squatted beside a soldier, and asked softly, "Are you full of food?" ”

The soldier did not lift his head and said, "I don't have enough to eat." ”

Xiao Buyi frowned slightly, "Why?" ”

The soldier was still cooking, and replied vaguely: "Don't you know, I don't know when this battle will be fought, everyone knows that food is not easy to come by, and we can save it, and we take the initiative to ask for this thing!" Compared to the people of the Eastern Capital, we have eaten a lot......"

Another soldier continued: "Everyone is waiting to conquer Luokoucang, eat a good meal, so that the family can also eat for a few years." ”

"You still have a family, but my family is gone." Someone else answered.

"Do you have a family member, the people in the Eastern Capital are our relatives, General Xiao said!" Another person replied, although there were rice grains on the corners of his mouth, but his face was full of solemnity. When he said the three words of General Xiao, his face was already radiant, obviously thinking that what General Xiao said was right.

"It's not General Xiao, it's the King of Xiliang." The other soldier corrected.

One person finally raised his head and said, "I think it...... Whatever the king is, he is our general! ”

"Yes, we have General Xiao and General Zhang, which is our blessing, what is it to save some food?"

"General Xiao promised us that he would definitely expel the bandits, and when the time comes, everyone will work hard, but don't soften down and ruin the reputation of General Xiao and General Zhang......"

"That's right, that's exactly how it should be!"

Everyone said casually, said casually, but it was all natural, but when it came to talking, some people had already finished eating rice.

Xiao Buyi didn't expect that a sentence would cause so many echoes, the corners of his eyes were already moist, and Sun Shaofang was the same, these men may not be able to see the sun tomorrow, or General Xiao, but they silently do what they want to do, without regrets!

Someone was suddenly surprised: "Who are you, why is there one more person?" ”

It turned out that a group of ten people was strictly controlled, and everyone was quite sensitive to the number around them.

Someone had already stood up and said in a trembling voice: "Are you ...... General Xiao? ”

All the people stood up in disbelief, but they couldn't help but believe that the dignified King of Xiliang was silently beside them!

Xiao Buyi patted the shoulders of several people with a smile, and said with tears in his eyes: "You are all very good, you have to eat a full meal today...... Seeing everyone's puzzled and excited expressions, Xiao Buyi said softly: "Because today you and I are going to do something that shocks the Wagang bandits." ”

A soldier asked, "What is it?" ”

Xiao Buyi breathed a sigh of relief and said proudly: "Today, you and I will join hands to capture the ...... Luo, Kou, Cheng! ”
