Fang Xuanling nodded, shook his head again, and said, "If Li Xin knew the importance of Changping and Guangtong, he would definitely send a large army to seize it, and the second son should prepare early!" Second son, don't look at the Yongfeng warehouse with a lot of grain, but there is more grain in the warehouse. ”

Li Shimin nodded, what does Chang Ping do is a granary set up in ancient times to regulate grain prices and store grain for famine to supply the government and the people. In economic terms, it means that when the market grain price is low, the grain price should be appropriately raised to make a large number of purchases, so that not only the large grain warehouses of the imperial court, Taicang and Ganquancang, where grain were stored, were filled with grain, but also the border counties and localities were also full of warehouses. When the price of grain in the market is high, the price should be appropriately lowered and sold. This measure not only prevents "grain cheapness hurting peasants" but also prevents "grain and expensive grain from hurting the people."

In the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen set up a special agency, and set up a regular position in Shaanzhou, which was specially used to regulate and control grain prices, but unfortunately, during the period of Emperor Wen, God was too good to this old man, and the wind and rain were smooth every year, so in order to stabilize the price of grain, a large amount of grain would be purchased every year in the Changping position, and in the year of the Great Cause, in the early years of the Great Cause, the price of grain was stable, and the price of grain rose in the last year of the Great Cause. Flattening the price of grain, but unfortunately, Emperor Yang Guang didn't care about these things, conquering Liao and weakening the family was his big thing, although Chang Ping did not buy grain again, so much grain purchased during the period of Emperor Wen was still piled up in Chang Ping.

"Let's go, let's go to my father and ask him to immediately send troops to take over Chang Ping." Li Shimin also thought that there was probably more grain in Changping than in Yongfeng Cang, and suddenly he couldn't do it anymore, so he hurriedly said to Fang Xuanling.

"Second son." Fang Xuanling was about to say something, but when he saw that Li Shimin couldn't wait to get out of the big tent, he was helpless and had to follow. It's just that when it came to Li Yuan's big tent. found that Li Shimin was standing outside, and even Li Jiancheng was standing there, although he was curious, he didn't dare to approach.

"Big brother, this defeat is just because Li Xin is too strong, and Sanniang, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with it!" Li Shimin's voice came, which made Fang Xuanling's heart move.

"That being said, since it was defeated. is about to be punished, Uncle Shentong has been locked up by his father, and if I plead, I can behead him on the charge of escaping. Li Jiancheng shook his head and said.

"Sanniang, this?" Li Shimin felt another burst of anger in his heart.

Li Xiuning has a lot of ability, Li Shimin knows, for this woman, he is jealous and happy, the most powerful person in the Li family is not Li Yuan. It's not his two brothers, but Li Xiuning, a woman in the land of Guanzhong, stirring up the storm. There were actually seventy or eighty thousand troops under his command, which was even more powerful than Li Yuan when he was in Taiyuan. Now that he has failed, is it really because Li Xin is too strong? Li Shimin suddenly found that he was also a little suspicious.

"Sanniang should be fine. Father or Sanniang's mind, just want to know how Li Xin's army is? Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "If my father suspects Sanniang, I will vouch for it." The children and grandchildren of the Li family should not doubt each other. ”

Li Shimin nodded. Finally, he sighed: "Tang Bi's 100,000 army, Sanniang's 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers and horses, if they join our army together, my father's strength will increase a lot, no wonder my father is a little unhappy." In fact, he thought in his heart that Li Xiuning's remaining soldiers and horses, and the soldiers and horses who could escape back now were also veterans, you must know that there are not many soldiers under Li Yuan's command who can be called elite soldiers.

In the big tent, Li Xiu stood there quietly, Li Yuan on the other side did not speak, as if he was recalling something, after a long while, Li Yuan looked at his daughter, the kindness and guilt in his eyes flashed, and said lightly: "Is Li Xin's army really so strong?" ”

"Well-trained, battle-hardened, even those Hu soldiers are the same." Li Xiuning thought about it and finally said.

Li Yuan's face stiffened, and he quickly said: "If I surrender to him, canonize him as the King of Liang, hereditary replacement, generalissimo of soldiers and horses in the world, Yongzhen Xiliang." If you are promised to him again, will Li Xin agree? ”

"Li Xin is ambitious and ambitious, I'm afraid he won't agree lightly." Li Xiuning couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, when did he become a piece of goods, if he had known this, why didn't he let himself marry him in the first place, but now he has made such an end. Where is it easy to recruit Li Xin, people have more than 100,000 soldiers, strong soldiers and strong horses, and their strength is not below Li Yuan at all, and even surpasses Li Yuan, how can Li Xin agree to Li Yuan and be Li Yuan's courtier? The so-called King Liang and hereditary replacement, in fact, is still not putting his life in your hands, if one day, if you regret it, you will still take his life. According to Li Xiuning's understanding of his father, it is really possible for Li Yuan to do this kind of thing. Who let Li Xin bring Li Yuan not benefits but shame over the years?

"In that case, let's fight! Sanniang has been tired all these years, you go back to the tent to rest first! The affairs of the army were handed over to Erlang to deal with. Li Yuan nodded, stood up and said to Li Xiuning: "I have suffered you all these years, and my father will definitely compensate you well in the future." ”

"Father, my daughter is gone." Li Xiuning's eyes showed a hint of softness, turned around and retreated, Li Xiuning didn't say anything about Li Yuan's indirect dismissal of his military power, as if he didn't take it to heart at all.

"Sanniang."

As soon as Li Xiuning came out of the big tent, he saw Li Jiancheng and the two brothers standing there, their faces showing anxious expressions, their hearts warmed, and they also stepped forward to greet them: "Big brother, Shimin, why are you here?" ”

"Big brother isn't worried about you! So here it is, what's the matter, my father didn't teach you a lesson! Li Shimin glanced at the big tent behind Li Xiuning with some concern.

"No, my father asked me to rest for a while, Shimin, the soldiers in the army have been handed over to you, there are still 50,000 soldiers who came back this time, and you have to settle these horses well." Li Xiuning hesitated for a while before saying, "If you can, don't let them fight against Li Xin's army." I'm afraid it will affect morale. ”

"Li Xin is so powerful?" Li Jiancheng and the brothers didn't expect Li Xiuning to have such a high opinion of Li Xin. There was also a hint of worry in my heart.

"His army is not afraid of life and death, and the discipline is very strict when fighting, which is the most terrifying." Li Xiuning said according to the news from the rout: "If you want to defeat Li Xin's army, you must outwit it. ”

"Yes, I am going to ask my father to send troops to occupy Chang Ping, but this is delayed." Li Shimin only thought of the task he came to, and now when he heard Li Xiuning say this, he felt even more the importance of Changping and Guangtong, and if he wanted to deal with Li Xin, he actually played a role in the army, so he should find a way to deal with it from the grain and grass.

In fact, Li Shimin's reminder was still a little late, and at this moment, on the way to Chang Ping, Cheng Yanjin was excited, but next to him was Wang Junkuo, and the two led 5,000 elite soldiers to seize Chang Ping.

"Cheng Biting Jin, don't get carried away, the generalissimo asked you to seize Chang Ping this time, although it is to give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, but if you can't win Chang Ping, this general will probably become a captain." Wang Junkuo glared at Cheng Yanjin dissatisfiedly and said. He was very dissatisfied that Cheng Yanjin actually became the coach, but he did become a deputy general.

"Hehe, Brother Wang, you don't know this! Although there are 2,000 guards guarding the Chang Ping position, before I am in the future, the Chang Ping position is under my control. Cheng Yanjin said proudly: "Do you know why I didn't wear our own armor? Look, the white flag and white armor, if we add a big banner with the character of Li, who knows whether we are the army of the West or the army of Li Yuan'er! ”

"Do you want to cheat and close your position?" Wang Junkuo asked in surprise.

"Before I came, I found out clearly, it is the Wei family who defends and often closes the position, the guy called Wei Lu, is a side branch of the Wei family, so he can get such a fat shortage, those Guanlong families have long supported Li Yuan, and now that our army is here, it is not to open the door to greet it." Cheng Yanjin said proudly: "Do you think that pot of wine of mine was given away for free?" ”

"Did you go to Mr. Hao?" Wang Junkuo couldn't help but pat his thigh and said.

"That's nature." The smug look on Cheng Bitingjin's face became stronger, Cheng Biting Jin fought bravely, but more importantly, he had a little cleverness, which could help him many times. He himself knew that it was okay to charge into battle, but it was a little bad to think of a strategy, so he salivated and looked for Hao Ying to help him.

"Damn." Wang Junkuo also regretted that why he didn't get closer to Li Xin's advisors at the beginning, and he could get his guidance at a critical time, and it was not a very simple thing to make some contributions.

Sure enough, when a team of white-clothed and white-armored troops appeared under Chang Ping, Cheng Yanjin didn't take much time to let Wei Lu call Chang Ping's door, Wei Lu himself would never have thought that what he ushered in was not Li Yuan's army at all, but a group of wolves from the northwest, Cheng Yanjin raised the butcher knife in his hand without hesitation, killed the soldiers in Chang Ping, and easily occupied Chang Ping, so that Li Xin's army no longer had to worry about food and grass.

The loss of Chang Ping once again made the situation in Guanzhong unclear, and Li Xin not only occupied the right time and place, but also had no problem with grain and grass. Moreover, after occupying Changping, Li Xin once again allocated 5,000 elite troops to garrison Changping, and the general Pei Renji personally sat in charge to ensure that the grain route was safe. Li Yuan heard that it was Pei Renji who defended Chang Ping, although he was furious and scolded Li Xin Yitong fiercely, but to no avail, he could only give up the plan to seize Chang Ping. Thinking about defeating Li Xin from another aspect. (To be continued......)
