A piece of military paper was placed on Li Yuan's desk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Yuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was silent. Xijing and Dongdu are more than 800 miles apart, but he already feels the pressure on that side, although he already knew that the duel was inevitable.

He is even a little skeptical now that he has made the right decision.

Of course, few people know about his decision.

If you do it all over again, every time Li Yuan thinks of this, there is actually no difference between him and Dou Hongxian. Most of the time he will choose this path, this path is his choice, he must go on, there is no other choice. He, like Dou Jiande and Xiao Buyi, has no way back, the three of them are destined to only live one!

Although they are the statues of emperors, their chances of survival are even lower than those of the common people.

He can't lose his morale first, because it is not known who killed the deer. He has mobilized all the forces in the world that can be mobilized, and is ready to fight Xiao Buyi to the death.

After all these years of secret scheming, it is finally time to play a role.

Dou Jiande was defeated again, which was not his surprise. Because at the beginning, he didn't expect Dou Jiande to win. After all, Dou Jiande is still a mud leg, and under the squeeze of him and Xiao Buyi, all his weaknesses and shortcomings have exploded.

Dou Jiande seems to be calm, but in fact he has no great ambitions, every time Li Yuan thinks of this, there is ridicule in his eyes.

This sign has long been premonitored, everyone thinks that it is impossible for Dou Jiande and Xue Shixiong to win a battle, in fact, even Dou Jiande himself did not think of winning. But things are often so funny, and the result is that Dou Jiande won. Dou Jiande not only won the Sui army, but also won Hebei, and even won the qualification to compete for the world.

But Dou Jiande was not ready, he was too indecisive and too ambitious. He got Hebei, just like the nouveau riche who suddenly inherited the Wanguan family fortune, but didn't know how to use it. Compared with him, Li Yuan aimed at Taiyuan early, aiming at Guanzhong to win the overlord's business, compared to Xiao Buyi's early takedown of Xiangyang and plotting against the eastern capital Jiangnan, Dou Jiande was very naïve in the process of competing for the world.

If you are not careful, you can lose all the games. Dou Jiande is all wrong moves, and it's strange if he doesn't lose.

When Li Yuan thought of this, he was slightly depressed. He was not depressed about Dou Jiande's loss, but depressed Pei Ju and Yang Shanhui also lost in one go.

Pei Ju really disappointed him, Li Yuan clenched his fists and smashed on the table, his expression grim.

Taiping Dao has actually suffered heavy losses so far, Li Yuan only hopes that Pei Ju can kill Xiao Buyi, then he will not be so difficult against Pei Ju against the Hebei Army. But people are not as good as heaven, Xiao Buyi was unstoppable, and escaped again, and in the end it seemed that he and Xiao Buyi would decide the winner.

In the first battle of Bishui, the Hebei army suffered heavy losses, and although Dou Jiande's soldiers still existed, Keliang was almost completely lost. Dou Jiande retreated to the bull's mouth, hoping that Yang Shanhui would win by surprise, of course Dou Jiande didn't know that Pei Ju was also involved, otherwise he wouldn't trust Yang Shanhui as much.

Yang Shanhui analyzed and reasoned, and sure enough, he waited for Xiao Buyi to enter the court, but Xiao Buyi took the opportunity to fight back and kill the game, cut off Pei Ju's arm, and counterattacked and killed hundreds of elites of Yang Shanhui. Dou Jiande knew that there was no hope of turning over, and retreated in panic. But he still couldn't rest assured that Yang Shanhui would be relieved, so he ordered Liu Ya and Yang Shanhui to break off together, and personally led the army to retreat to Liyang. Unexpectedly, Xiao Buyi actually guessed that they were going to run away and lay in ambush under Feilongdu and Ghost Sorrow. As a result, Yang Shanhui was really extraordinary, and the soldiers he led turned back safely, but Liu Ya was defeated by Qin Shubao, thousands of his men were lost, and only a dozen horsemen fled to Liyang.

Dou Jiande led his troops eastward, crossed the canal, and when he arrived in Suozao County, he fought a fierce battle with Cheng Yanjin, who suddenly killed. The Hebei army was in a hurry to return, and let Cheng Yanjin win another game.

By the time Dou Jiande retreated to Liyang, more than 80,000 soldiers and horses had lost 10,000 or 20,000, and his morale was low.

Dou Jiande had no temper when he was defeated, so he let Wang Fubao and Liu Heimin abandon Dongping, cross the Yellow River to the north bank, hold the two counties of Linhe and Wuyang, and temporarily cross the river from Zhang Zhenzhou.

Although Luo Shixin strongly objected, saying that in this way, he would almost give up the entire territory of Shandong that he had just gained, and it would accelerate Xu Yuanlang's surrender. But after all, Dou Jiande is the greatest, and Luo Shixin has broken his trust in Dou Jiande, and his opposition is invalid.

Li Yuan actually understood Dou Jiande's thoughts, and now that the Western Liang Army was like a rainbow, he began to fight back with all his might. Dou Jiande was afraid that his strength would be damaged again, so he gave up the occupied land, retreated to Hebei, and wanted to fight with Xiao Buyi.

At present, the Western Liang army is divided into three routes, one route is led by Meng Shanyi, the commander of Hanoi, to take back Xinxiang, enter Wei County, and face Liyang. The other road was personally commanded by Xiao Buyi, and Qin Shubao was the head of the march, sending troops from Xingyang to recapture Jiyin and Dongjun, and facing Liyang across the river. The other way is Zhang Zhenzhou's army, because Wang Fubao retreated to the north of the Yellow River, Zhang Zhenzhou sent troops from Dongping to attack Lu County, and the soldiers besieged Rencheng, Xu Yuanlang was in a desperate situation!

This is undoubtedly a cruel thing for Xu Yuanlang, because he once had hope. What could be more cruel than when hope arises and is broken?

Xiao Buyi's intention is already obvious, to fight against Hebei, first destroy Xu Yuanlang, and then take the land of Shandong!

Dou Jiande hesitated, repeatedly missing the opportunity, but Xiao Buyi's combat intention was extremely firm, steady and steady.

Every time Li Yuan thought of this, his heart couldn't help twitching. Looking at the military text on the table, he even forgot about the current big battle.

Pei Lian, Tang Jian, Yin Kaishan, and the eldest grandson Shunde were all on Li Yuan's side, and seeing Li Yuan's unswerving face, they had no choice but to be silent.

Li Yuan looked at the four ministers, and finally spoke: "Xiao Buyi is in a strong position, I don't know what Zhu Aiqing suggests?" ”

Pei Lin suggested: "At present, the confrontation between Shengshang and Liu Wuzhou is at a critical time, and Song Jingang is not popular with the army, and he has repeatedly suffered defeats, and the army's morale is fluctuating. Wei Chi Jingde and the prince are at a stalemate, and with the prince's strategy, he doesn't worry about this person. As long as King Qin can defeat the main force of Song Jingang in one fell swoop, Ping Liu Wuzhou can be said to be waiting. ”

Li Yuan frowned and said, "I'm talking about the Eastern Capital. ”

Pei Lin hurriedly said: "Defeat Song Jingang, level Liu Wuzhou, Hedong is stable, and then the Holy Lord can naturally send troops to the east, but he can map the eastern capital." ”

Li Yuan turned his head to look at Tang Jian and Yin Kaishan, and asked, "How do you wait?" ”

The two ministers both said: "What Pei Servant said is extremely true. ”

Li Yuan was silent and speechless for a long time. It turned out that after Liu Wenjing rebelled, he disappeared and was never heard from again. Li Yuan was secretly annoyed and almost beheaded Shi Wanbao because of this. Of course, he knew that Liu Wenjing was scheming, and after he ran away, he didn't know how much trouble he would have to cause him in the future. However, Shi Wanbao and Liu Wenjing are both Li Shimin's cronies, and Li Shimin was puzzled when he heard Liu Wenjing's rebellion, but it was too late to tell the difference, so he could only save Shi Wanbao. Li Yuan took care of Li Shimin's face and spared Shi Wanbao's life. But since then, he has been more fond of Pei Lin and named Pei Lin as a scholar. The three provinces and six departments of the Great Sui, the highest position is the post of Shang Shuling, Li Tang inherited the official position of the Great Sui, but it is taboo that Shang Shuling's power is too large and has been vacant. Under Shangshu's order, it is Shangshu's servant, and Li Yuan sealed Pei Lian's position, which can be said to be extremely important to him.

Pei Lin can be said to know Li Yuan's heart very well, and he is very good at observing words and feelings, so he can get this high position. But Pei Lian's talent is limited, and leading the troops is even more rare, every time Li Yuan asks about the plan, he only feels that Pei Lin is still a little worse in this aspect, and he can't say what he thinks.

If Liu Wenjing is in ...... Thinking of this, Li Yuan shook his head and expelled this thought.

He would rather use obedient and incompetent subordinates than the backbone of a wild genius.

His eyes fell on the eldest grandson Shunde, and Li Yuanruo asked expectantly, "Mr. eldest grandson, I don't know what your plan is to stop Xiao Buyi's pace?" ”

"Actually, what Pei Servant said is not bad." The eldest grandson Shunde said cautiously: "The biggest enemy at the moment is still Liu Wuzhou, and you can't be distracted for two purposes." As long as he defeats Liu Wuzhou as soon as possible, he will be able to drag Xiao Buyi's pace. ”

What he said is simple and clear, sail against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. To defeat your opponents, you can't expect them to stand still, but to be quicker than them!

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he finally nodded: "What Mr. Changsun said is extremely true, but in your opinion, can the people of the world be sure that they will fight?" ”

"You can win after five days." The eldest grandson Shunde said in a deep voice.

The ministers were surprised, and Li Yuan's spirits perked up, "Why is Mr. Changsun so sure?" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "Our stalemate for most of the year has been effective, according to reliable information, the grain and grass in the Song Jingang army is only enough for five days. And the army he escorted with grain and grass would arrive in three days. ”

Li Yuan pretended to understand, "As long as we surprise our soldiers and burn their grain and grass, then of course Song Jingang will defeat himself without a fight?" In fact, Li Yuan already knew this, and what he said now was just to encourage the confidence of the ministers. Of course, it also takes skill to speak, and it takes more time to release good news.

The eldest grandson Shunde cooperated: "That's right. ”

Sure enough, Pei Lin and the others were worried, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but lift their spirits, and they asked, "Really?" ”

They have been holding back for too long, and they have come to listen to the news of Xiao Buyi's battle more than they have heard about their own battles, and they know that the defeat of Liu Wuzhou is just around the corner, and they are all hard to hide their excitement.

Li Yuan was very satisfied with this morale-boosting result, and the next step was to select generals to send troops to attack Song Jingang's grain road. This time it is inevitable, when Pei Lin and others will not be sent, but they will contact the veteran Qu Tutong and select good generals to do this.

The current Li Yuan, sitting in Pusaka, is very close to Li Shimin, but he is afraid that his son will have something wrong.

When the ministers retreated, leaving only the eldest grandson Shunde, Li Yuan pondered for a long time before saying: "Shunde, the grassland line...... How is it? ”

The eldest grandson Shunde was stunned for a moment, "The grassland is the same as in the past, and the people are still difficult." ”

"After all these years, haven't you forgotten?" There was a rare sympathy in Li Yuan's eyes.

The eldest grandson Shunde came back to his senses, "Holy Lord, Weichen has forgotten his feelings for a while, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Li Yuan said lightly: "You are not forgetful, but affectionate." Everyone in the world thinks that you have betrayed the princess, but I know that you will not! ”

Eldest Sun Shunde's eyes swept through the eyes like a flood of gratitude, and in an instant, only a faint ripple remained, "Thank you." ”

"This trip to the grassland ......," Li Yuan wanted to say but stopped.

The eldest grandson Shunde shook his head and said: "The work of the grassland has nothing to do with Weichen, Weichen has not done his best, and he is ashamed." ”

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Shunde, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with this request for help from the Turks?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare." The eldest grandson Shunde said.

"Don't you dare? And not without complaining? Li Yuan sighed heavily, "Shunde, I'm actually forced to do it!" You have to know ......" Li Yuan changed his expression again, "Although I value trusting Pei Lian, it is thinking of the old feelings." You know, when I was down, he not only encouraged me, but also helped me. But in my heart, you are actually a hundred times better than Pei Lian. But I have many rewards, and you always push it off......"

"Weichen has actually been discouraged for a long time, and he originally wanted to live in the world." The eldest grandson Shunde sighed: "You can get the love of the Holy Master, and you should do your best." I just want the world to settle down, and then retire, my wish is enough! ”

"Who do you think can get it in this world?" Li Yuan asked suddenly.

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled bitterly: "Weichen...... Don't dare to speculate and confuse people. But the Turks forgot their righteousness when they saw their interests, and this time they went south, we were no different from luring wolves into the house, I was only afraid that there would be endless troubles, but it would be more dangerous than Xiao Buyi. ”

Li Yuan snorted coldly and diverted the topic, "Shunde, I know that you are sad about the death of the princess, but the past is like smoke and chaotic." If the head of the eldest grandson family is here, he doesn't want to see you so decadent! I want the eldest grandson's family to be a big family, it is a troubled time, and I need you to revitalize ......" Seeing that the eldest grandson Shunde lowered his head and didn't answer, Li Yuan was a little dissatisfied, and he instantly piled up regret, "Shunde, you are also tired, go back and rest." ”

The eldest grandson, Shunde, got up and saluted and left slowly.

Li Yuan looked at the back of the eldest grandson Shunde, slapped the table hard, wanted to say something, and finally stopped. Instructed the palace people: "King Xuanjun will see you." ”

**

The eldest grandson Shunde came out of the palace, lazily unable to lift his spirits.

He was smart, but he was always so decadent, as if there was nothing in the world that could no longer attract his interest.

Before he returned to the mansion, he saw two people entangled in the distance, and the eldest grandson Shunde frowned and stopped. The argument between the two came with the wind, and it was quite fierce.

It was Li Caiyu and Chai Shao again, and the eldest grandson Shunde shook his head, not wanting to move forward. Seeing the two figures under the tree, I suddenly remembered the beautiful and elegant, angry and light-hearted face back then.

After the wind, leaving tears and scars, the eldest grandson Shunde raised his head and looked at the white clouds and the blue sky......

"What the hell am I going to do to be satisfied?"

"Chai Shao, you don't have to satisfy me." Li Caiyu's cold tone was like cold frost and snow.

"Caiyu, I have done one wrong thing to you in my life. I really want to...... I really want to correct it, but why don't you give me a chance? Have you forgotten our original promise, have you forgotten that it was also under this green tree that we ......"

"I only know that even my house slave Ma Sanbao is much stronger than you now!" Li Caiyu said expressionlessly.

Chai Shao staggered back, and suddenly burst out, "It's Ma Sanbao again, you haven't talked about that Ma Sanbao for a day, you say, did you change your mind and fall in love with him?" ”

Li Caiyu's willow eyebrows raised, "Say whatever you want!" As soon as she was angry, Chai Shao softened instead, "Caiyu, I didn't mean to, please understand." ”

He begged softly, and Li Caiyu's tone finally softened, "Chai Shao, I've told you many times, we ...... Unhappy! ”

"You're lying!" Chai Shao said angrily: "We are a match made in heaven, it is very suitable. He looked like he was crazy, ignoring the people in the street.

Li Caiyu didn't pay attention to it anymore, turned around and left, Chai Shao grabbed her arm, "Caiyu, where are you going?" ”

"You can catch me for a while, but you can't catch me for a lifetime." Li Caiyu flicked his sleeves and shook off the snow, "I'll go to see my father and ask my father to cancel your marriage contract." ”

Chai Shao was stunned, and let go of his hand in despair. I don't know how long it took to realize that Li Caiyu had long since disappeared. Hurriedly ran along the long street, with only one thought in his heart, that is, he must not lose the jade.

Looking at Chai Shao's distant back, the eldest grandson Shunde actually wanted to say to him, feelings are like sand in your hands, the tighter you grasp it, the more it will be lost. But until the background disappeared to the end of the long street, he didn't move a single step. Because he felt that he was not qualified to say that!

Since the death of Princess Qianjin, he no longer has feelings, and he no longer has the qualifications to evaluate other people's feelings, because ...... He doesn't deserve it!

Reaching out and touching the trees beside him, in the eyes of the eldest grandson Shunde, he only felt that the sky was gray, the clouds were bleak, and the trees were haggard.

The figure in front of him was hazy, and the eldest grandson Shunde squatted down and called out an almost groan, "Fang'er......"

Fang'er is in the sky, in the clouds, and in the wind, but she is not by his side!

**

When Chai Shao was running wildly along the street, Li Caiyu had already arrived in front of Li Yuan. Li Yuan sat next to Li Xiaogong, and when the two saw Li Caiyu coming in, they invariably stopped the topic, full of astonishment.

Li Yuan's face was a little annoyed, "Caiyu, there are so no rules, I didn't call you in!" ”

Li Xiaogong got up slowly, "Holy Lord, Weichen will retire first." ”

Li Yuan did not do to stay, Li Xiaogong under the leadership of the palace people, hesitated forward, when he walked out of the palace, he heard Li Caiyu say a word, "Dad, I ask you to cancel my marriage contract with Chai Shao!" ”

Li Xiaogong was slightly stunned and quickened his pace, but he didn't expect Huo Ran, a person in front of the palace, to rush over. Li Xiaogong was hit by him, fell to the sky, and was embarrassed.

It was Chai Shao who hit the person, and when he saw Li Xiaogong's embarrassment, Rao was anxious, and he couldn't help but lean down, helped Li Xiaogong up, and said in a loud voice: "King Jun, I was flustered for a while, and I ask for forgiveness." Seeing Li Xiaogong's weirdness, for some reason, a chill swelled up in Chai Shao's spine. But in an instant, he was filled with anxiety and sadness, grabbed Li Xiaogong's hand, and held it firmly.

Li Xiaogong suddenly smiled, "Since I became what I am now, no one has grabbed me as kindly as Chai Gongzi." His tone was full of emotion, mocking the world and the coldness of human feelings. But it's like comforting and enlightening Chai Shao, don't be emotionally sad.

Chai Shao laughed self-deprecatingly, and suddenly had a strange feeling, that is, it was himself who was pitied, not Li Xiaogong in front of him!

Li Yuan blinked when he heard his daughter's request, and he didn't know for a while, "What did you say?" ”

"I ask my father to dissolve my marriage contract with Chai Shao." Li Caiyu said word for word.

Li Yuan furrowed his eyebrows, unhappy in his heart, he felt that he was really weak. Li Shimin has just begun to become a weapon, Li Yuanji is setting fire to the backyard again, and now that the enemy is present, the daughter he has always trusted actually mentioned such a trivial thing to himself?

"Go back!" Li Yuan said.

"What?" Li Caiyu didn't know why for a while.

"I said I'd let you go back." Li Yuan raised his face and said, "Caiyu, now is an extraordinary time, why are you so ignorant of the severity." Back then, you didn't hesitate to turn your face with your father for Chai Shao, but now for whom, you want to break with Chai Shao? A daughter like you really makes a father feel cold! ”

He said it very harshly, but after he finished speaking, Li Yuan's face was a little strange.

Li Caiyu said angrily: "It's not who I'm for, it's my choice." Could it be that your daughter is just a commodity in your father's eyes? At the beginning, you saw that Xiao Buyi was good, so you tried every possible way to let your daughter marry her, and did not hesitate to divide the relationship between Chai Shao and me! Now I'm as you wish......"

"Jade!" Li Yuan's tone was already quite sad, but his eyes looked behind his daughter.

Li Caiyu was excited, and did not pay attention to Li Yuan's abnormality, and said loudly: "Now Chai Shao is really as you said, it is not successful, but why do you want your daughter to marry him?" Is it just because his Chai family is a big lord clan, and you want their support? ”

"Enough!" Li Yuan slapped him, and his face showed anger.

There was a 'pop' sound, and there was silence in the hall, Li Caiyu covered his face and took two steps back, in disbelief. Li Yuan said at this time: "Chai Shao, you are ignorant of jade mining, you ......"

Li Caiyu Huo Ran turned her head, only to find that at some point, Chai Shao was standing behind her, his face was pale and shaky.

There was no anxiety in his heart, but he was relieved, Li Caiyu said: "Chai Shao, have you heard it?" ”

Li Yuan said coldly: "What can you do if you hear it?" I've wanted to get married, but I'm always busy. Now that the enemy is in the lead, defeat Song Jingang, Chai Shao, I will call the shots, and I will marry you to collect jade. ”

Li Caiyu left angrily and never looked back, Chai Shao didn't know how long it took before he came back to his senses. I felt that my body did not belong to me, and my voice did not belong to me, but I still heard myself say one word unmistakably, "Good! ”

Chai Shao didn't know how he got out of the palace, he didn't know how he got to Baibi, and he didn't know what Li Shimin said to him.

In his mind, there was only one thought, defeating Song Jingang, in order to marry Caiyu, and not to let Caiyu leave him.

He can't leave the jade mining, and if he leaves the jade mining, he would rather die!

When a man is infatuated, sometimes he is more resentful than the young woman waiting in the hotel; When a man is infatuated, sometimes he is braver than a tiger in estrus, and when a man is infatuated, many times, he doesn't know what he does.

Women's infatuation only has grievances, but men's infatuation burns fighting spirit.

Chai Shao only saw surprised faces passing by, with various expressions, but he didn't care about it. He doesn't complain about Li Shimin, he doesn't complain about Li Yuan, he just wants to win his love again with his own hands.

As for whether love belongs to him or not, he didn't think about it.

The soldiers under Song Jingang turned into the disgusted and hateful Ma Sanbao at that moment, Chai Shao heard the sound of the drum, and rushed over in the lead.

No love, rather die!

The moment he entered the enemy formation, he didn't know that Li Caiyu, who he was fighting for, was quietly facing a person beside him: "Sanbao, if one day, there is a woman who wants you to take her away, go to thousands of mountains and rivers, and stay away from all the grievances here, are you willing to accompany her for a ride?" ”
