"The most important thing now is how to solve the current situation?" Dugu Huaien's eyes showed anger, this Li family is really muddy, no matter how much they help, they lost Hedong so quickly, and if they lost Hedong, they will be Huoyi in the next step, and then there is the Bird Mouse Valley, as long as the Bird Mouse Valley is broken, Jinyang is under the nose of the other party, and people can eat as much as they want.

"Immediately strengthen Huoyi's defense." Li Yuan thought about it and said, "How many soldiers and horses does Qu Tutong have now?" Let him immediately take over Huo Yi's defense. ”

"Qu Tutong still has 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands? It's just that he is a loser, and let him defend Huo Yi again? Pei Lin said with some concern. In fact, what he was worried about was not this, but Qu Tutong's heart was towards Li Shimin, but Pei Lin liked Li Jiancheng, and he was now looking to see if this was to let someone else replace Qu Tutong and let someone else defend Huoyi.

"No, you have to Qu Tutong, the old general Qu Tu is very familiar with the Hedong generation, let him defend Huoyi, Erchen thinks it is appropriate, and even Huoyi cannot be defended, so he will defend the Bird Mouse Valley." Li Jiancheng rejected Pei Lian's kindness, but let Qu Tutong continue to defend Huo Yi, and even allowed him to retreat to the Bird Mouse Valley at a critical time.

Li Yuan nodded approvingly, although Li Jiancheng was deceived in this matter, but this is no wonder Li Jiancheng, but it made Li Yuan feel a little relieved in dealing with the matter of Hedong.

"The second thing is to let the King of Qin immediately return to the court, Qu Tutong has only a few soldiers and horses, more than 10,000 people, Li Xin's attack on Hedong this time, the following will definitely expand to the fruits of his victory, the next step must be Huoyi, it is the Bird Mouse Valley, once Li Xin occupies these two places, Da Zhao will no longer have a chance to expand his territory, he can only defend Jinyang." Pei Lin said again, in the end, he was a character from a family, and Pei Lin did not become famous by tying up Li Yuan. In terms of political affairs, he also has two brushes, and Li Yuan nodded again and again.

"Yes, the King of Qin must return to the court, no matter how much credit he has made in Hebei, he must come back at this time, and the court needs the army in the hands of the King of Qin." Dugu Huaien also said: "In case Li Xin gathers all the soldiers and horses to attack the Bird Mouse Valley, will Qu Tutong's soldiers and horses be able to resist it?" Once we can't resist it, Jinyang will be exposed to Li Xin's eyes, how can we resist Li Xin's attack? ”

Li Yuan and the others had gloomy faces. When he was in Hedong, not only exposed Li Zhao's problems in defense, but more importantly, in the problem of military power, Li Shimin mastered most of the military power, so that Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng had no soldiers in their hands, and now they have to let Li Shimin's class return to the dynasty, if Li Shimin is a class teacher, forget it, if not?

"Spread my will and order Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to return to the dynasty." Li Yuan's face was gloomy, and he finally opened his mouth and made a holy decree. Li Shimin has so much military power, which is not a good thing for Li Zhao, and it is not a good thing for Li Shimin. Li Yuan wondered if to give Li Shimin a little restraint. It is not necessarily a good thing that the Great Zhao army is in the hands of one person.

"Prince, your prince's personal guard is also going to be formed, so let's take the Changlin Army!" Li Yuan said to Li Jiancheng with a solemn face.

"Yes." Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. couldn't help but nodded and responded, letting there be more troops around him, Li Jiancheng was still very willing.

"Let Princess Pingyang sit in Gaoping. If Li Xin attacks Huoyi, let Princess Pingyang move. Li Yuan quickly gave another order, saying: "Let Liu Wenjing go to the Turks immediately and befriend the Turks, if you let the Turkic cavalry attack Guanzhong, it would be the best." There are also Wang Shichong and Xiao Miao, these people should all be united. ”

Li Jiancheng and the others were stunned when they heard this, and finally bowed their heads and stopped talking, although Li Yuan didn't say it very clearly, but everyone understood in their hearts that Li Yuan was worried about Li Xin, or that he was already afraid of Li Xin, thinking that just one Li Zhao's strength was no longer able to defeat Li Xin, so he couldn't wait to gather many people around him and defeat Li Xin in one fell swoop.

There was a bitterness in everyone's hearts, even if Li Xin occupied Guanzhong and owned Liangzhou, these people didn't take Li Xin to heart, but now in the blink of an eye, Li Xin has already occupied Bashu, and its general trend has been achieved, and it is impossible for anyone to resist. Even now it still occupies Hedong, and the threat is even greater, so big that Li Yuan has to bow to others.

"The other forces are very good, but the Turks are the only ones. Now that the Turks are in the reign of Jieli Khan, this man is very ambitious, and if we go to him to intercede, I am afraid that he will not agree, and even if he does, I am afraid it will cost a lot. Dugu Huaien said with some hesitation.

"If not, do you want me to destroy Zhao in the hands of Li Xin?" Li Yuan said with a slight dissatisfaction: "Even if the other party wants something, it is nothing more than gold and silver treasures, how rich my Central Plains is, what are some gold and silver treasures, just give them to him." ”

"Yes." Li Jiancheng lowered his head, slightly helpless in his heart. If the Turks are so easy to speak, then they are not Turks, but unfortunately, Li Yuan has already made a decision, and Li Jiancheng is dissatisfied and has no way.

"Prince, you go to the Sparrow Mouse Valley in person." Li Yuan said with some unease: "Take the Imperial Forest Army and recruit troops there, if Qu Tutong can't resist it, let him retreat to the Bird Mouse Valley and build a defense line there, if you still can't resist it, I will personally go out." ”

"The retainers obey." Li Jiancheng's heart is heavy, Li Yuan has not personally gone to the battlefield for a long time, and only now, when he is forced by Li Xin, there is no way to do it.

Not to mention that Li Zhao's Wenchen generals discussed how to deal with Li Xin's soldiers and horses all day long, but Su Dingfang's army did not continue to attack Huoyi, perhaps because of the road, or because the army was resting, but Li Zhao did not relax, because Li Xin's Daxu had appeared in Hedong, which means that Li Xin had arrived in Hedong, and this young king had just ended the Spring Festival, so he gave up the warm palace in Guanzhong and came to Hedong, a bitter cold place, and was clearly here to supervise the war in Hedong. This made Li Zhao worry again. Flying to Hebei and dispatching Li Shimin's messengers, almost three times a day, Li Yuan gave a death order, asking Li Shimin to quickly lead the army to retreat, and the entire Li Zhao soldiers and horses also gathered in Jinyang, going south at any time, ready to support the Bird Mouse Valley.

There is also news that after Li Jiancheng arrived in the Bird Mouse Valley, he began to gather soldiers and farmers to build a pass fortress together, preparing to build a dangerous pass in the Bird Mouse Valley to resist Li Xin's attack.

The first to receive news from Li Yuan was Wang Shichong, above the main hall, Wang Shichong smiled bitterly, among the many princes, I am afraid that his strength is the smallest, sitting in Luoyang, and there is also Henan, but who made him a tiger next to him? Although Hongnong was not occupied, Nanyang was occupied by Li Xin, causing his strength to drop greatly.

"I didn't expect Li Xin to seize Hedong so easily." Wang Shichong shook the piece in his hand and said, "Li Xin's offensive methods are unguardable. ”

"Yes, Li Xin himself is insidious and cunning, even the captured soldiers are calculating, who will dare to use his captured soldiers in the future." Yun Dingxing and the others also showed a wry smile. This is even more true of a general like Duan Da.

"Tell me, can we participate this time?" Wang Shichong quickly said to everyone: "If you participate, can you suppress Li Xin, if you don't participate, will it have any impact on us." ”

"Your Majesty, you can participate in this matter. The minister thought that although Li Yuan had an enmity with us, but the current situation was between Qiang Qin and the Six Kingdoms, if Li Xin destroyed Li Zhao, who would be next, it must be us, so the minister thought that he should gather part of the army to defend Hongnong and part of it to capture Nanyang. It was Yuwen Rutong who spoke, his face was handsome, and he looked extremely handsome and chic.

"Now that Li Xinai is a strong Qin, what if he gives up Li Zhao and comes to attack us?" Duan Da was a little reluctant, he said loudly: "At this time, what we need to do is to persuade Nongsang, repair water conservancy, and develop our own strength, although we have lost Nanyang, but we still have Henan, we can attack Jianghuai." Your Majesty, the minister thought that at this time not only could we not attack Guanzhong, but also needed to consolidate our own achievements and develop southward. Yun Dingxing said loudly.

"Prince, what do you think?" Wang Shichong looked at Wang Xuanying with some embarrassment.

"Erchen thought he would take a look first." Wang Xuanying thought for a while and said: "What kind of character is Li Xin, Erchen doesn't say it, my father also knows, this person is extremely cunning with soldiers, and now he is attacking Li Zhao, but the child always thinks that he has other plans, and Erchen thinks that he will not attack us for the time being, if he really wants to destroy us, I'm afraid he has already shot last time, at that time, we don't even have a chance to fight back." ”

Wang Shichong was stunned when he heard this, he also remembered that years ago, Luoyang at that time was full of flaws, and Li Xin's attack at that time was really easy, since he didn't make a move at that time, it means that he won't make a move now.

"Prince, don't forget, if you don't do it now, you may not do it in the future!" Yuwen Rutong said unwillingly: "Your Majesty, even if we support Li Yuan now, we must be prepared, on the one hand, we will strengthen Hongnong's defense, and on the other hand, we will guard the vicinity of Ye County and monitor Nanyang." ”

"Father, Hongnong must not move, although Li Xin has given up Hongnong, but Hongnong's Yang family and Tan family have already surrendered to Li Xin, Li Xin does not occupy Hongnong, and only wants to have a buffer, once we occupy Hongnong, it is to provoke a big war, and Li Xin's goal will be transferred from Li Zhao to us." Wang Xuanying hurriedly said.

Wang Shichong nodded after hearing this, and said: "No matter what, the soldiers and horses still have to be prepared, Xiongxin, the affairs of the army will depend on you." Wang Shichong said to Shan Xiongxin with a pleasant face.

"The retainers take the order." Shan Xiongxin hurriedly said. (To be continued......)
