"Qi Jun? How bold is he? Cui Mingan exclaimed, Qi County is in the rear of Yanzhou, all along, Qi County this place has complex terrain, and the folk customs are extremely strong, Zhang Xutuo fought here for several years, only to solve the bandits of Qi County, after Zhang Xutuo's death, Qi County returned to its original appearance again.

Later, Li Jiancheng went south and included Qi County in Li Zhao's arms, but in fact, because Li Jiancheng had a short time in the south, he did not completely solve the problem of Qi County. Li Zhao's dominance in Qi County is still relatively fragile.

"What's impossible, don't forget, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin are from some place, he is from Qi County. In that year, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin followed Zhang Xutuo to conquer Qi County and made a great name in Qi County. After Li Shimin found out about this problem, he was in a bad mood immediately. It is conceivable that after Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin return to Qi County, whoever dares to resist these two killing gods in Qi County will definitely fall into Qin Qiong's hands very easily.

"Your Highness, you must immediately strengthen the defense of Qi County." Wang Qi hurriedly said: "We have migrated a large number of people, but we only let them move north, but at this time we have not crossed the Yellow River, most of the people are still stranded in the south of the Yellow River, and Qi County has gathered a lot of people. If Qi County is breached, I'm afraid that most of what we do will help Li Xin. ”

"Let this king write a letter, let the people from Perak Hall send it to Qi County, do your best, and obey the destiny of heaven!" Li Shimin sighed, if his guess is right, at this time, Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses have already set off, Zichuan was captured by Cheng Yanjin at the beginning, and the next one is Qi County, how many people are there in Qi County? Where can you resist the attacks of Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yanjin. Even in the city of Qi County, once he knew that Sai Mengwei had returned to Qi County, he would not need Qin Qiong to attack. The locals dedicated Qi County to Qin Qiong.

"Li Xin's luck is so good, he actually has the support of a fierce general like Qin Qiong." Li Shimin sighed again in his heart, although he also had the support of the generals of Wagangzhai, but these people were now resisting Su Dingfang's attack, and they had no chance to help him at all.

"I'm afraid that's all I have to do now." Wang Qi and the others could only sigh, in fact, the lack of troops has always been a major problem that has plagued Li Shimin. Now such evil consequences have erupted again, and Qi County is in danger of falling.

"Lord Wang, prepare to withdraw your troops! Once the news of the loss of Qi County spread. The emperor would definitely dig the embankment of the Yellow River to block Li Xin's pursuers. Li Shimin sighed and said: "Qi County is very important, this time it is the king's miscalculation, I thought that Li Xin withdrew his troops for a hundred miles, that is, he was preparing to take the Daqing River as the boundary, and the two sides would recuperate, but now it seems that Li Xin is not like this." He wants to use the Yellow River as the boundary. ”

Li Shimin's indescribable frustration in his heart, Li Xin was too ruthless this time, he thought that the withdrawal of troops was just to defend against the Yellow River bursting embankment, but he didn't expect it. Li Xin simply played a pretense to let Qin Qiong and others capture Qi County on the flank, and cut off his own back road, if it wasn't for Cui Min's alertness. When he came back, he glanced at Linzi, I am afraid that he is still in a dream, waiting until Qin Qiong occupies Qi County. If he goes south to attack Dongping, he will only be trapped in Yanzhou, and he will even be drowned alive by Li Yuanji by digging up the Yellow River.

Li Shimin made such a decision, somewhat helpless, Dongping is really a little far away from Qi County, not to mention that there is a Li Xin next to him, once Li Shimin's soldiers and horses are dispatched, Li Xin will immediately take the risk of the Yellow River bursting, wave his army north, occupy Dongping, and then pursue all the way, even if the Yellow River bursts, Li Xin can also turn to Qi County.

So in the face of this situation, Li Shimin had no choice but to continue to sit in Dongping, and only left Dongping when Li Yuanji made the last move.

Moreover, after the flood, it is generally a plague, so it can be said that there is no way for Li Xin to go north in less than half a year, which is one of the reasons why Li Shimin believes that Li Yuan will definitely agree to Li Yuanji's plan. A breach of the Yellow River can buy Li Zhao half a year, what can't Li Yuan promise!

In fact, Li Yuan did not fully agree with Li Yuanji's point of view, and when Li Yuanji's recital was placed in front of Li Yuan together with the recitals of Li Shimin, Wang Qi and others, Li Yuan hesitated, and he summoned Pei Lin into the palace.

"King Qi's twist and turn, I can't make up my mind, hey, good is good, but the danger is too great, one bad will affect Da Zhao's reputation in Shandong, and those families in Shandong will not easily agree." Li Yuan pushed the three of them in front of Pei Lian, sighed and said: "Erlang has already made preparations in Dongping, he has moved the people within a radius of 100 miles in Dongping, scattered in the north of Dongping, in the area of Qi County, and even the Gaotang Navy is ready to pick up these ordinary people to Hebei." ”

"In this way, in fact, King Qin also agrees with this proposition, otherwise, he would not let Wang Qi relocate the people." Pei Lin looked at Li Shimin's recital, and said disdainfully: "On the surface, the King of Qin said that he was against the King of Qi, and he was saying that he was so compassionate and compassionate, but in fact, without his acquiescence, His Majesty thought that the King of Qi would have the ability to mobilize tens of thousands of young and strong laborers and mobilize so many soldiers to participate?" ”

Maybe Pei Lin has fiery eyes, or maybe Pei Lin has always looked at everything about Li Shimin from the perspective of scrutiny, and always imagines Li Shimin's views to be more evil, and the words he said are so direct to the hearts of the people that Li Shimin's heart, liver and lungs were pulled out, dried in the sun, and then rinsed with water.

Li Yuan frowned, took Li Shimin's recital again, and read it carefully, his face was suddenly covered with dark clouds, maybe he found the problem in it, or believed Pei Lian's words. In short, he snorted coldly.

"How do you think this matter should be resolved?" Li Yuan put it away, his face returned to normal, and he said very calmly.

"Your Majesty, this matter can't be managed." Pei Lin said without thinking about it: "No matter what the King of Qin and King Qi think, no matter whether the King of Qin really took away the people around Dongping, whoever moves the embankment of the Yellow River will cause criticism in the world, and the same is true for the Shandong family, they will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts." That's why King Qin is so opposed to this matter, even if he has secretly agreed to King Qi's behavior, why did Li Xin garrison Dongping, but did not attack Dongping, nor did he withdraw, isn't it just a joke to see us? He is just waiting for His Majesty to give an order to dig up the Yellow River embankment and make the world laugh! The emperor must not move, otherwise, it will be a serious blow to the emperor's prestige. ”

Li Yuan nodded, he already understood the meaning of Pei Lian's words at this time, the Yellow River embankment can be broken, this is the most effective way to resist Li Xin, but the Yellow River Gap must not let himself make a move, otherwise, people in the world still don't know how to say themselves!

"How is Li Xindang good?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, this young man, although he was his son-in-law, kept slapping his face and devouring his own country.

Pei Lin was stunned when he heard this, but he lowered his head and didn't speak, this matter is not something he can decide, although he knows that digging the Yellow River embankment is the best way, but this kind of thing can't be said by him, because there are two princes on the front line, especially King Qin, and he will not advise Li Yuan to let Li Shimin start. Then Li Shimin's reputation will suffer a big blow.

For the ambitious Li Shimin, it is like killing his parents, with a deep hatred, and the anger of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, is not something he Pei Lin can bear. Although he supported the crown prince Li Jiancheng, it was also a controversy in the court, focusing on politics, not this kind of deliberate smearing.

"Well, I'm going to have to think about it." Seeing that Pei Lian didn't speak, Li Yuan immediately knew Pei Lian's intentions, and was silent for a while, before he smiled and said: "Anyway, Li Xin is now suppressed by the Yellow River embankment, and he can't advance, and he can't retreat, and he can't retreat." Yuanji did a big thing this time, if it weren't for Yuanji, I'm afraid Li Xin would have gathered his troops and horses and forcibly attacked Dongping. King Qin's soldiers and horses would definitely not be able to stop the attack of an army of more than 100,000 troops. ”

Pei Lin also had a smile on his face when he heard this, wasn't the current situation just dragged by King Qi there?

"Your Majesty, isn't that what is going on right now?" Pei Lin hurriedly said: "Although King Qi is a little reckless, what he did was for the sake of Da Zhao, and he may have some contradictions with King Qin, but his mind is still good. ”

Li Yuanji supports Li Jiancheng, and as Li Jiancheng's natural ally, Pei Lin naturally spoke to Li Yuanji at this time.

"Although I have done a good deed, it is also a trouble right now, this hot thing, so I really don't know how to choose!" Li Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Pei Lin also smiled bitterly when he heard this, he really didn't know what to say about this sentence.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." At this time, an attendant broke in in a panic and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Qi County has been lost, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, and Cheng Yanjin led 60,000 troops to capture Qi County." ”

"What, Qi County lost?" Li Yuan stood up violently, his face suddenly changed, he walked around the main hall, and finally said: "The loss of Qi County means that Li Xin can attack King Qin without crossing the Daqing River, and King Qin is in danger!" If you don't take action, I'm afraid that Shandong will be seized by Li Xin. ”

"Your Majesty, there is no way now, please give an order to the King of Qin to dig up the embankment of the Yellow River and flood Li Xin." Pei Lin said loudly.

"Spread the order to the king of Qi, dig the embankment of the Yellow River, and block Li Xin's attack." Li Yuan took two steps back and forth, and finally gave an order, but the object of the order was Li Yuanji, the king of Qi. (To be continued.) )
