"This is Sindu? Doesn't look like that either? Big brother, no wonder Li Yuan was driven here by Li Xin from Taiyuan, just look at the capital. Yuan Xiuzhen glanced at Xindu, and her pretty face suddenly showed disdain. In fact, whether it is Xindu or Youzhou Zhuojun, the fortification of its city defense is much higher than that of other big cities in Goguryeo, of course, compared with Liaodong City, it is still a little worse. But it shouldn't be ridiculed so much by Yuan Xiuzhen.

"The Central Plains is still relatively prosperous." Yuangai Suwen is different from his sister, he still understands the situation in the Central Plains, looking at the situation of Xindu City, comparing Liaodong, I have to admit that the prosperity of Xindu is far above Goguryeo. I don't know how prosperous Chang'an City will be.

"Hmph, although it is prosperous, it is not necessarily a good place, it is said that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette, but now there is a guy who kills his brother and forces his father, I think the civilization of the Central Plains is about to decline, and sooner or later it will be replaced by our Goguryeo." Yuan Xiuzhen said in a low voice.

"Li Shimin is a fierce opponent, and this person cannot be underestimated." Yuangai Suwen said in a low voice: "A person actually killed his own brother for the sake of power, such a person, if he wants to impress him, I am afraid he will have to pay a lot of reward." ”

"As long as he needs it, we can pay the big reward, besides, I heard that Li Xin has raised an army to the Northern Expedition, if he does not agree to our request, we will join forces with the Turks to attack Dazhao, I think he will definitely agree." Caught between two sides, Li Shimin is powerless no matter how great his ability is, and sooner or later he will be eliminated by us. He could not help but cede Liaodong. Yuan Xiuzhen said indifferently.

"Then go meet him, he's having a headache right now!" Yuangai Suwen also felt that he had come at the right time, if it was normal, Li Shimin might not have taken a fancy to Goguryeo at all, and even thought that he could defeat Goguryeo and rescue the captured former Korean soldiers! Now is the time to do it.

"Hmph, I really want to meet the people of the Central Plains. How to grovel to our Goguryeo. Yuan Xiuzhen said proudly.

"Let's go, go meet Li Shimin." Yuangai Suwen knocked on the war horse very proudly and came towards the East Palace. He thought that he had obtained Li Shimin's lifeline, and regardless of his own danger, he ordered someone to play the banner of an envoy and kill Li Shimin's East Palace.

At this time, Li Shimin had already received the news that Li Xin had arrived in the Valley of the Bird and Rat, Li Jing had arrived in Xingyang, and Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses were about to move, and he was deploying combat policies in the East Palace. Suddenly, he received news from outside, and the Goguryeo envoy Gao Wen came to see him, and he was stunned.

"Goguryeo has Gao as his surname, and this Gowen may be a member of the Goguryeo royal family." Fang Xuanling reminded.

"This Goguryeo is really bold, there were countless casualties in the battle of Liaodong back then, but now he has the courage to come to see Gu, aren't you afraid that Gu will cut off their heads?" Li Shimin said with a gloomy face.

"Your Highness, no, no." Pei Lin hurriedly said, "Your Highness." Not to mention that this envoy can't be killed, not to mention that now that Li Xinlai is attacking, if Goguryeo attacks Youzhou from Liaodong, we will fall into a two-front battle. Goguryeo is nothing more than a clown jumping beam, there is nothing to worry about, the key is Li Xin, His Royal Highness. At this time, let's focus on defeating Li Xin! ”

"Gao Wen has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Zhao State." Yuangai Suwen looked at Li Shimin who was sitting on it, his face was calm, and even the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm. Obviously, Li Shimin was not taken into account.

Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "If you have something to say, if you have nothing to do, there are a lot of lonely things." Li Shimin also did not give the other party a good face, and did not even say basic diplomatic words, which is very impolite.

Yuangai Suwen didn't care, but said: "This time, the king asked his subordinates to bring greetings, and by the way, they discussed the ownership of Yan County and Beiping County. I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can call the shots. ”

Yan County and Beiping County are two counties close to Liaodong County, which themselves belong to the territory of Da Zhao.

"Hehe, so you're ready to go to war with my Da Zhao?" Li Shimin laughed angrily when he heard this, and said coldly: "I don't know where you got the guts? Li Shimin didn't expect that the Goguryeo people would be so rampant that they wanted Yan County and Beiping County as soon as they opened their mouths.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, this Yan County and Beiping County themselves belong to my territory of Goguryeo, but they were occupied by you during the previous dynasty, and now we just want to bring him back, and besides, it is not for nothing, isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worried about Li Xin? We can send troops to help you solve Li Xin. What does Your Highness think? Yuangai Suwen said with a smile. It seems that Li Shimin has been decided.

"Bold." After Fang Xuanling heard this, he strode out, pointed to Yuangai Suwen and said: "The land of the ancestors, how can you discard it casually, don't say that it is Yan County and Beiping County, that is, Liaodong, and the place of the ancestors, and when Li Xin is solved, the next one is the land of Liaodong, and the little Goguryeo is so rampant, aren't you afraid of heavenly soldiers?" ”

"Hehe, is this what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant?" Yuangai Suwen said indifferently: "At this time, the Tang Dynasty is raising troops for the Northern Expedition, if we attack Goguryeo at this time, I am afraid that the empty Yan County and Beiping County will definitely be captured by us within a few days." If you don't cooperate, Li Xin's side will definitely cooperate with us. ”

"Li Xin?" After Li Shimin above heard this, he smiled dumbly, pointed at Yuan Gai Suwen and said: "I'm afraid that these words have not yet reached Li Xin, and you will be killed by Li Xin, but I hope you will go to see Li Xin, because Li Xin will not only kill you, but also withdraw his troops if he doesn't get it right, and let us deal with you Goguryeo, I don't know if you dare to make a bet with Gu?" ”

Yuangai Suwen looked at Li Shimin in surprise, obviously he didn't expect Li Shimin to have such courage and actually believe in his enemy. Li Shimin said gloomily: "Do you think that Li Xin will agree to your conditions, give up Yan County and Beiping County to obtain your troops, let you fight from the north and south, and destroy my Da Zhao together, hehe, you are wrong, when Li Xin was in Liaodong, he was thinking about how to eliminate your Goguryeo, he is a complete madman, if you seize his territory, he will destroy you, and my Han has hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died in Goguryeo, how can he collude with you?" Therefore if you appear, he will kill you. ”

Yuangai Suwen's face changed, he looked at Li Shimin deadly, and finally laughed and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really joking, I, Goguryeo, want to surrender to Da Zhao, I just want to ask Da Zhao to reward a piece of land for horse grazing, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks?" ”

"Your Highness." Pei Lin was about to stop him, but was stopped by Li Shimin.

"Master Pei, who understands Li Xin, it's not you, it's Lone. Li Xin is different from others, for people of different races, unless he sincerely surrenders to him, otherwise, he will only use thunderbolt means to solve everything in front of him, if Goguryeo is submitted, forget it, no, even if it is submitted, Li Xin will not promise to give them any land for horse grazing, his iron horse will set foot on Liaodong sooner or later, if you don't believe it, wait for them to go. ”

Yuangai Suwen's face was gloomy, and after listening to Li Shimin's words, he arched his hand and said: "In this case, the foreign ministers will go to see Li Xin, I believe that the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty will definitely hope that our Goguryeo will send troops to help them destroy your Great Zhao, and the cost is only two barren lands." ”

"I hope so." After Li Shimin heard this, he laughed, pointed at Yuangai Suwen and said, "Gu really hopes that you can send troops, so that Li Xin may also help us resist Goguryeo's attack!" ”

"Crazy, really crazy, how can Li Xin help you, Li Shimin, you wait." After hearing this, Yuangai Suwen felt a panic in his heart, and there was a trace of uneasiness when he didn't come, and he didn't dare to stay here anymore, but turned around and left, and left the East Palace in an instant.

"Your Highness, you just now, hey!" Pei Lin sighed deeply, this time he completely felt the difference between Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng, what happened just now, if it was put on Li Jiancheng, it would definitely not be such an ending, Li Jiancheng would rely on his personal charm to resolve this crisis, at least, he would not let the Goguryeo envoy leave the East Palace like this.

"Master Pei, don't worry, others don't know about Li Xin, but I know very well, if this Goguryeo envoy really goes to Li Xin, he will be killed by Li Xin if he doesn't get it right. Hmph, what kind of character is Li Xin, the Qiang people back then are proof of this, those who are obedient will stay, and if they are disobedient, they will be killed. What's more, Li Xin also participated in the Battle of Goguryeo back then, and the hundreds of thousands of people who died were Li Xin's robes, if Li Xin colluded with them, the people of the world would speak. Li Shimin said quietly.

In fact, this is also his own heart, if it were not for the enmity with Goguryeo, many of the soldiers who died in Goguryeo back then were Guanzhong and Hebei people, and an alliance with them would make the people of the world oppose it, and Li Shimin would agree to form an alliance with Goguryeo.

However, if Goguryeo attacked Dazhao because of this, and Li Xin was added, it would cause the fact that Li Xin and Goguryeo colluded with each other, and Li Shimin spread rumors everywhere at that time, which might not be able to hit Li Xin's prestige.

"Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has decided, the minister won't say much." Pei Lin shook his head, now it has come to this point, Li Shimin actually offended another enemy, Pei Lin thought that Li Shimin was an immature performance, Pei Lin was very disappointed. He decided to tell Li Yuan about this matter and let Li Yuan solve it. (To be continued.) )
