"Yes, that's good, what's wrong with the money?" Li Yuan sighed for a while.

"I think the Kanto family will support some, this time Erlang's failure to attack Luoyang was caused by the Kanto family's inattentive actions, not to mention, since they have already supported us, they will inevitably support it to the end." Li Jiancheng hesitated for a while before he said: "Father, the son wants to redeem the 50,000 soldiers first, after all, we will spend more silver money to form an alliance, redeem the soldiers first, and also calm the army." ”

After Li Yuan heard this, his face was complicated, and finally he nodded and said, "It's rare that you have such considerations, you have grown up." Don't worry about King Qi's affairs, although Li Xin is our enemy, he is also my Li Yuan's son-in-law, and he won't embarrass his wife-in-law and uncle if he thinks about it. Li Yuan finally recognized Li Xin's status at this time, but now it is too late, admit it earlier, where is there today?

"I'm afraid that Li Xin is unwilling to release these 50,000 soldiers." Pei Lin shook his head and said. According to his understanding of Li Xin, Li Xin would rather release Li Yuanji back than let go of these 50,000 soldiers to increase Li Zhao's military strength.

"Let Sanniang go!" Li Yuan sighed and said, "I didn't expect that I, Li Yuan, would need my daughter to beg my enemy at this time, hey!" Li Yuan also understood that Li Xin was afraid that it would be difficult for Li Xin to let 50,000 soldiers return to Bingzhou and increase his military power, so he could only let Li Xiuning go, which made Li Yuan feel a sense of shame.

"Father, my son wants to go in person." Li Jiancheng hesitated for a while before whispering.

"That's fine." Li Yuan was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly nodded, this matter made Li Jiancheng far more secure than Li Xiuning, no matter what happens in the future, at least the families of the 50,000 soldiers will not blame Li Zhao.

When Li Xin returned to Bashang, the Son of Heaven Yining came to greet him in person, followed by Pei Shiju among the civil ministers and Li Jing among the military generals, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty came one after another. Waiting for Li Xin's arrival, although he lost the general Shen Guang this time, he also annihilated and captured nearly 100,000 Li Zhao's army, and captured Li Yuanji and other important ministers alive, which can be said to be a huge victory.

Yining Tianzi decided to add Li Xinjiu, which is a sign that Yining Tianzi is ready to give up the throne, Guanzhong has long been prepared, and no one objected, even Wei Yuancheng, Du Yan and other Guanzhong families are also happy to see it, if there is still a trace of hesitation before. Some people will also think that Li Zhao will seize Luoyang, then it is possible to seize the world with Li Tang, but this time it will not be, Luoyang was defeated, Li Zhao's soldiers and horses were lost, if Li Xin attacked at this time, I am afraid that it will be a problem whether Li Zhao can support it, and who will speak for Li Zhao now.

After returning to Chang'an, Li Xin also feasted the three armies according to the promise of Xu Guo before. He also ordered Du Ruhui to prepare a merit book and reward the accompanying generals. On the third day, Li Xin asked the Son of Heaven of Yining to issue an edict, and Li Jing was meritorious in Shu. The title of Wu Jungong was added, and the rest of the generals were rewarded, such as Su Dingfang, Qin Qiong and other people who followed Li Xin or Li Jing on the expedition this time, and they were all named township marquis or county marquis. Although Pei Renji did not seal the county, he also rewarded a lot of money, and his son Pei Yuanqing made the marquis. It can be regarded as compensation, after all, he did not expand the territory for Li Xin, and his credit is much less.

"The prime minister is ready to make a move on Hedong." In Li Xin's study, Li Jing was smiling, fighting on one side, Li Jing's momentum was even more majestic, and his eyes were full of majesty, but in front of Li Xin, all this was taken back, if it weren't for the purple robe on his body, others would still think he was just an old man.

"Yes, what is Li Shimin making trouble in Hebei now? If I don't harass Hedong, how can I be worthy of the opportunity given by Li Shimin. Li Xin said with a smile: "So I want to invite Brother Jing to discuss, Hedong is not easy to fight!" At the beginning, Li Yuan also used the method of siege to force Qu Tutong. ”

Of course, Hedong is not easy to fight, not to mention the high city and deep Chi, Qu Tutong who defends the city is not a simple character, if you want to deal with him and capture the Hedong City he defends, it is not an ordinary strategy that can be done.

"Attack Hedong, the war is not in Hedong, but here." Li Jing pointed to a map in front of him and said: "The location of Hedong is very important, Li Yuan was blocked outside Hedong City at the beginning, but Qu Tutong didn't expect that if he wanted to defend Hedong, not only to defend the city in Hedong, but more importantly, to defend the cities around Hedong, Huoyi, and even the Bird Mouse Valley. ”

"Brother Jing means let's attack the Sparrow Mouse Valley first?" Li Xin's eyes lit up, and he attacked the Bird Mouse Valley, which was equivalent to closing this gate, and a situation of closing the door and beating the dog could be formed in Hedong.

"Although we designed it this way, I'm afraid Li Zhao won't be so simple, Li Yuan must have strengthened the defense of the Sparrow Mouse Valley." Li Jing shook his head and said.

"So I thought about how to use other methods to break through Hedong." Li Xin nodded and said.

"Prime Minister, Guanzhong can't be messed up, but Li Zhao can't be messed up. Doesn't the prime minister have a sharp blade in his hand? If you stab this sharp blade out, it may have unexpected effects. The last general heard that Li Yuan sent Li Jiancheng as an envoy this time to meet the prime minister? Li Jing persuaded him.

"Brother Jing is talking about Li Yuanji." Li Xin nodded and said: "This person and Li Shimin are life and death rivals, this time it is precisely because of him that Li Zhao has lost so many soldiers and horses, and it is impossible for this king to win so happily." So I decided to wait for Li Jiancheng to come, and then I let Li Yuanji go. Li Xin said with a smile.

"The prime minister is going to let him leave Guanzhong?" Li Jing didn't expect Li Xin's methods to be so generous, and Li Yuanji said that he would let it go, and he didn't even receive any remuneration.

"A Li Yuanji is only ten thousand taels of gold in my hands, but if it is put in Li Zhao, it can earn more things, but Li Zhao's situation is even more chaotic, why not do it?" Li Xin said proudly: "But the 50,000 elite soldiers are different, Gu will not let them out so easily." ”

"The last general has a different opinion." Li Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he whispered a few words in Li Xin's ear. Li Xin laughed when he heard this.

"Brother Jing, fortunately, you definitely came out of the mountain to help me at the beginning, otherwise, even if I occupy Liangzhou, Guanzhong and Bashu, I am afraid I will not be Brother Jing's opponent." Li Xin said with some sighs after hearing this.

"The master is above, I, Li Jing, dare to be so presumptuous, if it weren't for the prime minister, Li Jing would probably only be able to shrink his head and be cautious." Li Jing waved his hand and said.

Li Xin didn't continue, but said to Li Jing: "Brother Jing, just do what you said about it!" Anyway, there are a lot of people we have captured during this time, Brother Jing just need to use it boldly and boldly, I will go to see Li Yuanji, if I don't light a little fire, Li Yuanji really doesn't know if I can do it! Li Xin took out a tiger talisman from his arms, handed it to Li Jing and said, "The whole army is still dispatched by Brother Jing." ”

"Subordinates obey." Li Jing's face was straight, and there was a hint of emotion in his voice, Li Xin was insidious and cunning, and the other was suspicious, but what could make Li Xin trust him so much, there were only two people who would give the transfer of troops and tiger talismans, one was Li Jing, and the other was Du Ruhui.

"I believe in Brother Jing." Li Xin patted Li Jing's shoulder and said seriously.

"Congratulations to the Prime Minister." Li Jing personally sent Li Xin out, and then looked at the tiger talisman in his hand, and a trace of tears faintly appeared in the tiger's eyes. It is not a simple matter to maintain the way of monarchs and ministers for a long time, and Li Jing does not seem to have any worries about this.

Li Yuanji is doing very well, he lives in the East Palace not far from the palace, the Queen Mother is still in Zhongnan Mountain, Li Yuanji is Li Zhiwan's younger brother, and nominally Li Xin's brother-in-law, Li Xin placed him in the East Palace, but he didn't treat him badly, but his mental state is not very good, after all, he is a prisoner, and I don't know how Li Xin will treat him!

"The prime minister has arrived."

When Li Yuanji was drinking, a voice came from a distance, but he saw Li Xin wearing a big coat and came slowly, followed by Yu Chigong and Cheng Yanjin.

"Li Xin." Li Yuanji looked at the majestic Li Xin, his eyes were red, and he couldn't help but stand up.

"Bold, he actually called the prime minister by his name." Wei Chigong was furious and stepped forward to teach Li Yuanji a lesson.

"I and Yuanji are a family, just shout, you guys go down first!" Li Xin stopped Wei Chigong, smiled and asked people to prepare a table of wine and food, and also let people serve fine wine.

"This was prepared by Siniang herself. Come, you and I will sit down and talk today. Li Xin said with a smile.

"Hmph, what do you have to talk to?" Li Yuanji's ugly face showed anger, and he originally wanted to curse Li Xin, but when he thought that he was still under Li Xin's control, he could only snort coldly.

"Don't you want to know why Hongnong fell overnight? It also takes a day to arrive from Tongguan to Hongnong, don't you get any news in a day? Li Xin didn't blame, but sat down with a smile and opened his mouth to tell a secret.

"Aren't you still working on a machime?" Li Yuanji snorted coldly, but he still sat down again, which showed that he was very concerned about why Hongnong lost so quickly. Li Yuanji was very unwilling, the 50,000 army did not even release an arrow, he was captured by Li Xin, and he became a prisoner, this feeling made him very unhappy.

"I don't know how many intelligence organizations there are in the world, my Jinyi Wei can only rank second, does Yuan Ji know who is number one?" Li Xin poured himself a glass of wine and said with a smile.

"Perak Hall." Li Yuanji said without thinking, but soon suddenly realized something, slammed the table and stood up, and spit out a few words with a gloomy face.

"Li Shimin." (To be continued......)
