"Is it possible to watch Li Yuanji succeed like this?" Li Xin sighed slightly and said: "Once the Yellow River breaks, the central part of Shandong will become a thousand-mile yellow flood area, and after the catastrophe, the plague will be epidemic, and there will be more casualties." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that at this time, Li Yuanji may have already moved, although I don't know how many people Li Shimin sent to him, but according to Li Yuanji's temperament, His Majesty is definitely not the only one among the people who have been calculated, I am afraid there is also Li Shimin." Chu Suiliang sighed and said: "Your Majesty didn't expect that it was Li Yuanji who made the shot, and Li Shimin thought of Li Yuanji, and even thought that Li Yuanji would come to this hand, but Li Shimin was in the city, and there was Dongping City Wall to resist, plus the Yellow River was a dry period at this time, even if it was washed down by Dayozawa, too many people would not die, but Your Majesty is different, the water of the Daqing River is sure to rise, and even the embankment collapses, and the river water pours down, even if it can't flood the three armies, but it can still be washed for hundreds of miles, Your Majesty, Within a few months, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to use force against Li Shimin, and Li Shimin will be able to easily evacuate the people of central Shandong to the north of the Yellow River. ”

"Hmph, Li Shimin is delusional, how can my people let him take it away!" Li Xin snorted coldly and said: "Pass the decree, let Kan Ling give up Dengzhou, lead the army up the Yellow River, and block the Yellow River with big boats, I want to see how Li Shimin transports these people away, and then order Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yanjin to lead 60,000 troops, regardless of others, and give me a direct entry into Qi County, that place is Qin Qiong's hometown, when he and Luo Shixin followed General Zhang Xutuo, they fought in Qi County, and they were very familiar with it, so let him occupy Qi County for me." The back road to deter Li Shimin. ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, in this way, even if Li Shimin releases water and turns this Qianli into Zeguo, our soldiers and horses can still quickly insert into Li Shimin's rear." Bae In-ki nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty. Now that we already know about Li Yuanji's conspiracy, I am afraid that the Daqing River will not be able to stay, why don't Your Majesty immediately withdraw the army for a hundred miles, so that Li Yuanji may not dig up the embankment of the Yellow River. Chu Suiliang glanced at Li Xin and gave up the territory in his hands, even Chu Suiliang was a little reluctant in his conscience.

"Regardless of whether Li Yuanji will agree or not, what Deng Shan said is very reasonable." Li Xin thought for a while and said to Chu Suiliang: "Write a letter for me and shoot into Dongping City." Tell Li Shimin and his soldiers, just say that I already know about Li Yuanji's conspiracy, so I am willing to withdraw my troops for a hundred miles, give up attacking Dongping, let him see the people of Shandong, stop Li Yuanji from digging the Yellow River embankment, if he is so benevolent, after I unify the world, I will leave him a bloodline. ”

"Obey." Chu Suiliang smiled in his heart when he heard this.

Reminding Li Shimin is secondary. More importantly, it was important to tell the soldiers and the remaining people in the city, expose Li Zhao's conspiracy, and show Emperor Li Tang's compassion and love for the people. Once such a document is issued, Li Zhao will definitely be on the cusp. The common people of the world will praise Li Xin and will spurn Li Zhao, if Li Yuanji really digs the Yellow River dam, Li Zhao's reputation will plummet. The little vitality that Li Yuan had recovered with great difficulty in Hebei would also be in vain.

It can be said that Li Xin's move is very insidious, so that Li Shimin has no way to resist it, even if he stops Li Yuanji's conspiracy. All the credit will only fall on Li Xin, and it has nothing to do with him Li Shimin, if you can't stop it, then I'm sorry, all the sins fall on Li Shimin. This is a naked conspiracy, so that Li Shimin has no way to solve this matter.

"Then pass the decree and withdraw the army for another hundred miles." Li Xin's face was solemn, and when he met Li Shimin, he was still a character with a bit of a bottom line, and he had to take care of face-saving things, but Li Yuanji was a madman, a complete madman.

With Li Xin's order, early the next morning, Li Xin's army retreated again, this time retreating for more than a hundred miles, actually far away from the Daqing River, the news reached Dongping, Li Shimin sat on the chair for a while, and looked much gloomy.

"Your Highness." Wang Jue looked at the young man in front of him, and sighed slightly in his heart, what Li Shimin wants to do, he can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from the person in front of him, the Taiyuan Wang family doesn't know how many years of wind and rain they have experienced, how many winds and waves they have seen, how they don't know what Li Shimin has in mind. It's just that he is a courtier, and there are some things he can't say.

"Lord Wang, Li Xin already knows our plan if he can't figure it out, so he will withdraw his troops for a hundred miles." Li Shimin's eyes flashed with a hint of inexplicability, and said: "If I dig up Dayeze, although I can flood the Daqing River within a radius of dozens of miles, it will definitely not flood within a hundred miles, Lord Wang, it seems that Li Xin has absolutely avoided the edge temporarily, we can stay here safely, and my lord can also calmly settle the people of Shandong." ”

"Does King Qin really think so?" Wang Jue's eyes showed a hint of displeasure, and said: "The water is roaring down, I'm afraid it's not just Li Xin who is unlucky, he gave up the northern part of Shandong, and the two sides are bounded by the Daqing River, but what is even more unlucky is the people's hearts of Dazhao." Doesn't King Qin want to say anything? In other words, King Qin didn't want Da Zhao to have the possibility of unifying the world at all. ”

"Lord Wang thinks too highly of the people, there are some things I can do, but there are some things that the people don't have any way to do." Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "We can only let more ordinary people live now, what does Lord Wang think?" ”

"He's a wolf, if you don't get it right, you'll hurt yourself, King Qin, this time, I'm afraid you've miscalculated." Wang Jue sighed deeply after hearing this, but there was still a trace of doubt in his heart. Li Yuanji and Li Shimin are opposites, Li Yuanji has always looked down on Li Shimin's hypocrisy, he believes that Li Shimin also knows this, but he still let Li Yuanji preside over the digging of the embankment. Didn't Li Shimin expect that Li Yuanji would not listen to him?

Although Wang Jue had some doubts, but these doubts could only be kept in his heart, he stood up, arched his hand towards Li Shimin, and was about to retreat, when he suddenly thought of something, and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin, we have transported all the people of Shandong away, once these people arrive in Hebei, do we have so many fields for them?" ”

"If there is no Hebei, go to Taiyuan, if Taiyuan is not good, go to Youzhou, although there are many families in Shandong, but presumably they will not even occupy the land of Youzhou!" Li Shimin said faintly: "We must give these people a way to live!" ”

Wang Jue's body trembled, Li Shimin's words were full of a hint of murderous intent, this is a warning to the family, Wang Jue is also from a family, and the family has a lot of land, Li Shimin's words understand that this is putting himself in the position of the common people, what is the difference between this and Li Xin? No wonder the right families are on Li Jiancheng's side, not only because Li Jiancheng is the son-in-law, but also because the interests of the family occupy an important aspect.

Li Shimin's political direction influenced the attitude of those big families. Wang Qi thought about these things clearly, arched his hand towards Li Shimin, and then retreated.

"Yuanji, you can't let the second brother down!" After Li Shimin waited for Wang Jue to leave, he said a word very calmly.

It is just as Wang Qi thought, although Li Yuanji's actions were not his instigation, but in his calculations, Li Yuanji will definitely not do it according to his own requirements, and even Li Yuanji is so crazy that he will destroy the entire Dongping, and even take himself to the Yellow River fish and shrimp for food.

However, is he Li Shimin so easy to calculate? I'm afraid that I have already been destroyed by Li Xin! Li Shimin had already prepared all this, and he really wanted to see the moment when Li Yuanji saw that he escaped the disaster. And Li Xin, do you really think that you can escape the end of flooding if you leave Dongping for a hundred miles? Unfortunately, you don't know that you are about to face the integration of the Yellow River.

"Your Highness. Oh no. ”

At this time, Pei Longqian and the others walked in, and even Wang Qi, who had just left, followed behind, and everyone's faces showed a trace of panic, and Li Shimin's heart suddenly showed a trace of malaise.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin stepped forward and asked.

"Your Highness, just now Li Xin ordered people to shoot out a lot of letters into the city." Pei Longqian handed a letter in his hand to Li Shimin and said: "Li Xin made a lot of nonsense in the letter, saying that the king of Qi would dig the embankment of the Yellow River and flood Dayozawa, the king of Qin, and now the people and soldiers in the city are in a panic. The rest of the people are clamoring to leave Dongping! Even the soldiers in the army are in a panic. ”

Li Shimin's face was pale, he didn't even open the letter handed over by Pei Longqian, there was a panic in his mind, Li Xin really knew about it, and announced it, didn't this cost him Li Shimin's life?

"Damn, Li Xin, this traitor, is really hateful." Soon he understood what Li Xin meant, it was clear that he was roasting himself on the fire, which was forcing himself not to dig the Yellow River embankment, otherwise all the charges would fall on him Li Shimin, of course, Li Shimin also had a substitute for the dead, that is, Li Yuanji. It's just that Li Yuanji is unlucky, and he Li Shimin can't get any benefits.

"Your Highness, now hurry up and summon King Qi back." Pei Longqian was a little nervous and said, "If this happens, King Qi will become the target of the world's scolding." The interest thief occupies the height of righteousness, and he will definitely criticize us, how can our Dazhao gain a foothold in Shandong? ”

"Yes, yes. His Royal Highness the King of Qin, since this kind of thing is known to Li Xin, it will definitely spread to the world. Wang Jue hurriedly urged: "King Qin doesn't think about King Qi, but also for the sake of Da Zhao!" ”

If Li Xin didn't know about it, it wouldn't matter, now that he knew, Wang Qi wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. (To be continued.) )
