When Li Shimin walked in, his face was full of dust. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

originally had a handsome face, but he had a stubble beard and dark and thin cheeks, if Li Shimin still had a little taste of cream in the past, but now the battlefield dust has accelerated his maturity. The fiasco of Shallow Water Plains made his mind mature, and the wind and sand in Longyou consumed his childishness. Today's Li Shimin is very different from the arrogant Li Shimin a year ago.

When Li Yuan saw it, he was full of relief, got up and held Li Shimin's hand, "Shimin, everything is going well, right?" Sit! ”

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Father, the pacification of Longyou is extremely smooth, and wherever our army goes, the Xue family army is invincible. Xue Ju and Xue Renguo were all dead, and the ministers supported Xue Ju's youngest son Xue Renyue as the emperor, but that was a cowardly person, seeing me going, he had already opened the city and surrendered, I spared him to die, and asked him to persuade the Longyou army to surrender, and everywhere he went, all were pacified. By the way, Dad, the most rewarding thing this time is to take more than 10,000 war horses, and our Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers have greatly increased their strength this time. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said: "Shimin, you are doing things now, you are not bad, it is really gratifying for my father." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "This is also a chance given to me by my father, otherwise I would have collapsed a long time ago." ”

Li Yuan patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, "You are my son, if you don't give you this opportunity, which one will you give it?" Thinking of something, Li Yuan turned his head to look at Li Gang and said, "Li Shangshu, what do you think of what Fang Caizhen said?" ”

Li Gang didn't wait for an answer, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Dad, I don't agree." ”

Li Yuan was stunned, "You know everything?" Seeing Li Shimin's triumph, Li Yuan temporarily put aside the affairs of Taiyuan, and saw Li Shimin's heroic spirit, which reminded Li Yuan of Li Yuanji, who was not a weapon, and sighed in his heart.

Li Shimin said: "Dad, as far as I know, when Yuanji was in Taiyuan, he was always arrogant and indulgent......

Li Yuan's face changed slightly, "Shimin, that's your younger brother!" ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Dad, I know that he is my younger brother, but because of this, we all hope that he can develop on the good side, not like today, when things are out of control." Yuanji is messing around, Dou Dan not only does not admonish, but keeps covering up for him, the people of Taiyuan have long been dissatisfied, but do you know these fathers? Zhang Da, the general of the chariot cavalry, was just because one of his soldiers accidentally injured Yuan Ji, so Yuan Ji was angry and sent him to take hundreds of people to die. Zhang Qian rebelled angrily, and Liu Wuzhou captured Yuci. Yuwenxin was loyal and repeatedly advised, but Yuanji lied to him that he went out of the city to attack the enemy, but led the elite soldiers to flee from Taiyuan, which made Taiyuan fall. Everything is Yuanji's nonsense, Dou Dan is troublesome, but Yu Wenxin is loyal, Dad, you don't punish Annihilation, but want to kill Zhongliang, won't it make the officials feel cold? ”

"How do you know that?" Li Yuan's face was gloomy.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "It was Yu Wenxin who escaped back, went to me first, and told me the truth at the beginning, I believe that he will not lie." ”

Li Yuan pondered for a long time before he said: "Yuanji himself doesn't learn well, it's not something that Dou Dan and Yuwenxin can forbid, this is my mistake, in this case, go to the title of King Yuanji Qi, Yuwenxin...... Dou Dan's responsibility will not be investigated. ”

Li Gang breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down on the ground and said, "The Holy Wise Lord, the blessing of the world." ”

Li Yuan grinned, "You all step aside for the time being, Shimin, you stay." ”

Waiting for everyone to leave, Li Yuan sighed and said, "Shimin, Taiyuan has fallen, how do you think we should deal with it?" ”

Li Shimin said: "Dad, I don't think you have to worry. Although Liu Wuzhou took Taiyuan, the terrain of the Bird Mouse Valley is concise, and there are elite soldiers guarding it, as long as there is no accident, the main road will be choked. Presumably, Liu Wuzhou is still incapable of going south, and the child's Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers have been sharpened and matured, and he asks to lead the troops to Jiexiu to recover Taiyuan and Jiexiu! ”

Seeing that Li Yuan was silent, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Dad, are you still worried about me?" You know, I'm not the hairy boy I used to be. ”

Li Yuan sighed: "Shimin, it's not that I'm not worried about you, but I think that even if you go out, you may not be sure. ”

Li Shimin frowned and said: "Dad, Yuanji is messing around, Pei Lin is not good at leading the army at all, and you give him the heavy responsibility of guarding Taiyuan, which is a problem in itself." Thinking about Liu Wuzhou's ability, the child is out of the horse, can't he help him? At present, in the Taiyuan crisis, saving troops is like fighting fire, Jiang Baoyi is stubbornly defending Pingyao, and if he does not send troops again, he may collapse at any time. If you don't send troops now, when? ”

If it was in the past, Li Yuan would definitely reprimand him loudly, but now that Li Yuan just touched Li Shimin's head and said: "Shimin, you just came back from Longyou, and you don't understand the situation. Although your Xuanjia Heavenly Soldiers are not bad at dealing with Liu Wuzhou, do you know that Liu Wuzhou's team is mixed with black-armored iron horses. ”

Li Shimin took a cool breath, "Xiao Buyi sent troops?" ”

Although he is conceited, he has an indescribable awe of Xiao Buyi, because Xiao Buyi's iron horse is too prestigious. No matter how dissatisfied he is, Li Shimin can't deny that Xiao Buyi's world today is not to sit back and enjoy its success, but Xiao Buyi's body is the first to fight down point by point!

Xiao Buyi has been fighting for several years, without tasting a loss, once or twice can be said to be lucky, but winning a hundred battles has shown that although Xiao Buyi was born as a horse bandit, he also has a keen military talent.

Xiao Buyi actually joined forces with Liu Wuzhou, and when he thought of this, Li Shimin also shuddered.

Forcing himself to calm down, Li Shimin said calmly: "Dad, even if Liu Wuzhou and Xiao Buyi join forces, Xiao Buyi is a human being after all, not a god, and I have the confidence to fight with him." ”

Li Yuan shook his head, "Let me think about it again." Shimin, your progress now is beyond my expectations...... But to face off against Xiao Buyi, it is obvious that he still owes fire. ”

"Even if you don't send me, you can send my eldest brother. Eldest brother...... Where is it now? Li Shimin asked urgently.

"He led the ...... Went to the party. Li Yuan said slowly.

Li Shimin was surprised: "What did he do when he went to the party?" ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Yuan said: "Shimin, although Xiao Buyi sent troops to secretly help Liu Wuzhou and was our enemy, he is also extremely troublesome now. Xu Yuanlang is not afraid of him, but Dou Jiande has already sent troops to attack Changping and Hanoi......"

"Dou Jiande sent troops?" Li Shimin was overjoyed and said, "Dad, did he agree to form an alliance with us?" ”

Li Yuan hesitated: "It should be so, I have sent three groups of people to persuade him, and the supernatural power finally went, saying that Dou Jiande has agreed to join forces to attack Xiao Buyi." ”

The supernatural power is Li Shentong, who is Li Yuan's cousin, and he is very trusted by Li Yuan.

Li Shimin said suddenly: "It turns out that Xiao Buyi is secretly making trouble, and my father is not to be outdone. So the eldest brother went to Shangdang, of course, he was waiting for an opportunity to go south, assist Dou Jiande to attack Changping, and then prepare to attack the eastern capital? ”

Li Yuan nodded slowly, "So to speak, but Xiao Buyi now has a solid foundation, and the Eastern Capital is united, if you want to shake his foundation, it's not easy to talk about, I just let your eldest brother wait for the opportunity." Shimin, you just came back from Longyou, it's quite hard, go back and rest first, and I'll discuss with you in a few days. ”

Li Shimin saw that Li Yuan was quite tired, and couldn't bear to say much, after leaving the palace, he went straight back to the Qin Palace, a young girl was sitting in the hall and pondering, heard footsteps, and stood up happily, "Shimin, you are back." ”

The girl has sheared her eyes, her egg face, and when her smile blooms, her cheeks show shallow dimples. The woman had a delicate face, her petite body was shrouded in white fur, and she stood there, with an indescribable bookish atmosphere.

When Li Shimin saw the girl, he was pleasantly surprised: "Wuji, are you here?" "It turns out that the girl is his fiancée, the eldest grandson!

When the Li family and the eldest grandson family married, the eldest grandson family valued the strong foundation of the Li family, knowing that although the Li family was unambitious, it would be said that they would make great achievements in the future, and the marriage between the Li family and the eldest grandson family was valued by the wisdom of the eldest grandson family.

The eldest grandson's family from the eldest grandson Sheng to the eldest grandson Shunde, from the eldest grandson Wuji to the eldest grandson Wuji, are extremely bright and general, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian have known each other since childhood, you can go to Li Shimin is young and frivolous, fencing Ren Xia, less this fiancée in mind, so rarely see each other, but now it is a horse galloping, it is rare to see all year round, see the eldest grandson Wujian and standing, bright and lovely, for a time upside down the emotion of red face and easy to age.

When he had this state of mind, he was suddenly shocked, and secretly thought about fighting year after year, and now Li Shimin may have the state of mind of Xiao Buyi back then.

I don't know why I think of Xiao Buyi, Li Shimin only smiled bitterly and shook his head, only to find that the eldest grandson Wuji was also in the house, and said in surprise: "Wuji, you are here too." ”

The eldest grandson just smiled and looked at the person in front of him.

Li Shimin saw the ridicule and pity in her eyes, suddenly woke up, and reached out to touch his chin, "The beard has not been shaved." Stretched out his hand and pulled out the knife, scraped under his chin a few times, looked at the face of the knife, and smiled: "Now, it's the handsome boy from before again, right?" ”

The eldest grandson brother and sister laughed, and the eldest grandson Wuji said: "It turns out that Shimin is really busy, and he doesn't have time to shave, so she ...... without stains."

"Third brother......" Eldest Sun Wuji said in a low voice.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "Okay, don't say it, Shimin, whoever sees you now can't imagine your decadent appearance in the past." ”

Li Shimin shook his head with a smile, "If there is no decadence in the past, how can there be a rebirth today." But without your counsel, there would be no rebirth that I call it today. ”

He remembered the decadence of the time of the defeat of Asamizuhara, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The eldest grandson Wuji was pleased: "Shimin thinks like this, it really makes me feel gratified. Wuji knew that you came back from Longyou, so I came from home to see you, I still have something to do......"

Seeing that his sister's eyes were full of affection, he knew that she had a lot to say, and got up to leave, Li Shimin asked casually, "The road is going well." Seeing the dissatisfaction on the face of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Shimin was slightly stunned. The eldest grandson Wujian had already said: "Everything is going well. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was dissatisfied with the disappearance, and laughed: "What else can we not do well, let's go." He walked outside the mansion, Li Shimin rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Wuji, I'll send Wuji and come back in a while." ”

He said that he would go, and went out with the eldest grandson Wuji shoulder to shoulder, and returned to his previous manners, and the eldest grandson Wuji sat down slowly, full of seclusion.

She is used to this kind of waiting, maybe behind a man who has achieved great things, there will always be a lonely woman......

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji arrived outside the mansion, and seeing that there was no one around, Li Shimin pulled the eldest grandson Wuji to the corner and said in a low voice: "Wuji, what's going on?" You and I have known each other for many years, you unbutton your pants, I know that you are sloppy, don't hide it from me, something must happen to me. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled dumbly and said: "Shimin, how can you say that you are also a King of Qin now, can you please be more elegant?" ”

"Don't worry about anything else, say it quickly!" Li Shimin urged.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, "Shimin, although you and I are not brothers, we are better than brothers, and I don't want to hide it from you." You are now more and more famous, and you are the king of Qin, even if you are a saint and the prince see us, they are all like a family. Now if Xijing says that there are still people who can not give us a good face, there is only one person. ”

"Yuanji again?" Li Shimin frowned.

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "Yes, on the way to your mansion with Wuji, I met Yuanji, I don't know where we offended him, he pointed at Wuji's nose and scolded...... As for what to scold, don't say it. ”

Li Shimin's eyes erupted with fire, "He is really lawless, he failed miserably in Taiyuan, and went to Xijing to spread wild, so I will go to him." He was about to start, but was pulled by the eldest grandson Wuji, "Shimin, Wuji doesn't want to tell you, because I'm afraid that your brothers will be on the wall." If you quarrel with Yuanji, she will blame me. I tell you, not to make you stand up for us, but to remind you to be careful, he is now as unreasonable as a mad dog. ”

Li Shimin said coldly: "He's getting more and more dislike now, I really don't understand...... How did I offend him and keep him holding on? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "When he sees people now, he will say that you are not the son of the saint, Shimin, this is very bad for you......"

"I'm my father's son, what's there to doubt about that? I don't believe Daddy will turn against me for his nonsense. Li Shimin said in surprise.

The eldest grandson Wuji stopped talking and shook his head, "I have something, let's go first." ”

Li Shimin looked at the back of the eldest grandson Wuji, couldn't help frowning, walked towards the mansion with a heavy heart, suddenly slapped his head, turned over his horse, and galloped out of the mansion.

He rushed all the way, but he came to the eldest grandson Shunde Mansion and went straight to the mansion.

The eldest grandson Shunde was sitting in the hall, staring blankly at the outside of the hall, the sun was setting, and the afterglow was hanging on him, making him look a little desolate. Li Shimin hurriedly rushed in, and then he slowly turned his head, squeezed out a smile and said, "Shimin, why do you have time to come and see me?" ”

Li Shimin walked straight to the eldest grandson Shunde, and said with a straight face: "Uncle eldest grandson, I have something I want to ask you." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde looked at Li Shimin's face carefully, "Did Wujian make you angry?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "How can Wujian make me angry?" What I want to ask is...... Am I my father's son? ”

He asked abruptly, and the eldest grandson Shunde was stunned, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Li Shimin kept staring at the face of the eldest grandson Shunde, and couldn't see anything abnormal, so he sat down in distress, "I really don't know how to say it, and I really don't know how to deal with Yuanji." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde understood, "Yuan guitar...... Say yours again? ”

Li Shimin sighed: "If he really says that I am not, I can tolerate it." But he scolded Wuji today, and when I heard it, I really wanted to beat him up. ”

"What about you...... Did you beat him up? The eldest grandson Shunde asked.

Li Shimin shook his head, "No, I want to fight with him, if it gets out, my father will definitely have no face, if my father knows that I made a move because of Wuji, he will definitely blame Wujian for not knowing the rules and not knowing how to persuade me." I may be fine, but the innocent will be reprimanded for me, how can I go so badly? ”

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled and said, "Shimin, you have really grown up. That's good if you think so! There will be nothing wrong with the Innocent. But ......"

"But what?" Li Shimin asked urgently.

The eldest grandson Shunde shook his head, "Forget it, I didn't say anything." ”

"Why didn't you say it?" Li Shimin was puzzled: "Uncle, you must say it." ”

"I know you've been agonizing over Motoyoshi's rumors." The eldest grandson Shunde said in a deep voice.

Li Shimin nodded and said: "Originally, I thought he was just acting rashly, but now he is getting more and more intense, and I am beginning to wonder if I am my father's son." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled: "The rumors are so terrible that they make you at a loss. If you are not the Son of God, how can He hold you in such high esteem? Shimin, rumors stop at the wise, don't be careful. ”

"But uncle, you have to know that there are many things about three people becoming tigers." Li Shimin said: "Can you help me think of a way...... Shut up that kid? ”

"Of course there is a ......way," Changsun Shunde said slowly.

"Speak quickly, speak quickly." Li Shimin said happily.

"The way is to kill that kid with one sword...... "The eldest grandson Shunde said with a smile.

Li Shimin was stunned, "He is my younger brother, no matter how much it is wrong, I should forgive him." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde sighed lightly: "It's good that you understand this, Shimin, you must know that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it." Yuanji is extremely jealous, you have always been beautiful, there are few twists and turns, and everything is on his head. He will speak ill of you, and it is inevitable. But the wise lord of the saint has his own measure. If you endure for a moment now and strive for brotherly peace, the Holy One will not turn a blind eye. If you have time, let's talk to the saint more. ”

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, "Thank you uncle for mentioning it, I understand what to do." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled and said, "When you talk to the saint more, remember to take a look at Wuji." ”

Li Shimin smiled slightly, his mood was a little more relaxed, he got up and was about to leave, and suddenly asked again, "Uncle, now Xiao Buyi's power is strong and unstoppable, I don't know if you have any clever plans for it?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde pondered for a long time, "The saint occupies the terrain, Xiao Buyi occupies the people, if you talk about victory or defeat, only the sky can decide." Now, I don't want to think about it. But for now, Liu Wuzhou must be the main one first. ”

What he said was very exciting, Li Shimin didn't want to ask too much, and turned to leave. The eldest grandson, Shunde, closed his eyes and muttered, "Actually...... What's the use of thinking about it? ”

**

The wind blows, and the iron armor is cold. All the way, the army took advantage of the freezing hardness, crossed the Yellow River on the ice, and went straight to Hanoi.

Hanoi is north of the Yellow River, which is regarded as a barrier to the north of the eastern capital, and if it is taken by the enemy, it will look at the eastern capital across the river, which is not optimistic.

When the army arrived in Hanoi, it temporarily camped according to the city, and Meng Shanyi, the general guard of Hanoi, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the army coming. We will welcome you immediately in Kaejo. The officials of Hanoi City all came out to greet him, just because this army was led by the King of Xiliang, which shows the importance that the King of Xiliang attaches to Hanoi.

This move undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the Hanoi defenders, and they were able to hold on only because they knew that Dong would not give up on them. When the king of Western Liang came, they were not only confident that they would persevere, but also that they would expel the Hebei army.

The New Year is approaching, and everyone hopes that the battle will end before the year and have a peaceful New Year.

Xiao Buyi fought with Dou Jiande for the first time, but he was very cautious in his heart, he could celebrate the New Year whenever he wanted, since he came to fight, he had already put aside the idea of the New Year.

Xiao Buyi braved the wind and snow and led the generals into the city.

Of course, Sun Shaofang and all the guards are not far from the left and right, these subordinates are all selected by Shi Danai from thousands of guards, and their martial arts are far higher than ordinary soldiers, these people are surrounded by Xiao Buyi, not to mention the true and false Fu Pingju one, even if they come together, it is extremely difficult to kill Xiao Buyi. Sinan was as indifferent as ever, and followed Xiao Buyi like a shadow.

Meng Shanyi looked at it and muttered, she couldn't understand the origin of this woman, but she didn't dare to ask.

Xiao Buyi led the army this time, and brought a lot of generals over, but a few people were Wagang generals, such as Jia Runfu, Li Wenxiang, Chang He, Zhang Qian and others.

After these people defected to the Eastern Capital, they were incorporated into the Western Liang Army, most of them were partial generals, and they had never gone through a battle, so they were inevitably worried in their hearts, and they were only afraid that Xiao Buyi would settle accounts after the autumn.

But Xiao Buyi has always treated Zhai Rang, Wang Ruxin and others with courtesy, so that they can finally stay in the Eastern Capital with peace of mind.

After a long time, Xiao Buyi suddenly led them out to quell the bandits, which can be said to have given great trust. This made them inevitably increase their confidence, and they were ready to make a contribution and repay Xiao Buyi's kindness.

The generals were divided into two rows, majestic and solemn, and Meng Shanyi and his subordinates were all demoralized when they saw this momentum.

Xiao Buyi said: "Meng Tongshou, what is the current situation?" ”

Meng Shanyi unfolded the map early, and it was Changping and Hanoi. Meng Shanyi pointed to the map and said: "King Qiqi Xiliang, according to my information, Dou Jiande sent his generals Wang Fubao and Gao Yaxian to attack Changping County, but sent Su Dingfang and Fan Yuan to attack Hanoi. I have obeyed the orders of the king of Western Liang, and have implemented the strategy of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and they have gained very little. According to my preliminary estimates. Su Dingfang's march this time, there were about 20,000 cavalry infantry, just before, they tried to attack here, but yesterday for some reason, the whole army retreated. I sent people to track them down and found that they were retreating to Bailu Mountain, near the left of Xiuwu County. ”

Xiao Buyi looked at the map and muttered, "Have you ever fought with them?" What about the losses in the counties around Hanoi? ”

Meng Shanyi's face turned red, and he knelt down and said: "The king of Xiliang forgives his sins, Su Dingfang is violent, and the defenders of Hanoi are only thousands, so they dare not easily open the city to engage in battle." As for other counties and townships, I heard that the three counties of Gongcheng, Xinxiang, and Huojia near Liyang in the east were all broken by the enemy, and Weichen was not good at defending the town, so I asked the king of Xiliang to punish him. ”

Xiao Buyi got up and helped Meng Shanyi up, and sighed: "The enemy army is fierce and cruel, and the situation is sudden, Meng Tongshou doesn't have to blame himself." ”

Meng Shanyi was grateful in his heart, and some soldiers hurriedly came to report, "King Qixi Liang, Lord Tongshou, the Hebei army is fighting outside the city!" ”
