In Xingyang City, Li Shimin's face did not look much better, he got Xingyang at the same time, but also got the news of Hedong, so far, the Turks did not capture Hedong, if this is nothing, the key is that Li Jiancheng's people sent the news that Zhao Feng's people found that in the Turkic army, some people tried to leave Hedong, which means that Li Zhao's plan in Hedong may have been known by Qibi He Li and Ashina Simo, which may make Li Shimin's deployment in Hedong have different changes.

"Now Lone regrets it." In the study, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and Zheng Shanguo, father and son, gathered together, Li Shimin said with a sigh: "Although Li Xin lost Xingyang, he occupied the Tiger Prison Pass, so that we could not rescue Luoyang, Wang Shichong may not be able to support it for long, and Hedong, Su Dingfang's 50,000 army under the attack of 100,000 troops, can support it for so long, but Gu did not expect." ”

"There is a stalemate in Hedong, which is not a good thing for the imperial court, and it is even possible that the Turks will unite with Li Xin against us." Zheng Yan couldn't help but say.

"No, Li Xin won't do such a thing, he won't unite with the Turks." Wei Zheng shook his head and said. He was forced to come to this meeting, he was still a little dissatisfied with Li Shimin, at this time I heard that Zheng Yan said bad things about Li Xin, and immediately said with some dissatisfaction: "Li Xin is a hero of the world, since his debut, he has not had a good face for the Turks, and the generals under his command are all fighting against the Turks, how can they unite with the Turks?" ”

Li Shimin's face changed, and the hall was suddenly lonely, this Wei Zheng is really not good at talking, everyone knows that Li Zhao likes to unite with the Turks, go south to herd horses in the Central Plains, and I don't know how many sins he has committed in Hebei, Wei Zheng is talking about Li Zhao at this time. Although Li Shimin is generous, although he likes Wei Zheng's talent very much, at this time, he is still a little unhappy in his heart.

"What is King Qin going to do?" Zheng Shanguo didn't even look at Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng is still a little famous in Shandong, but in Henan, among the five surnames and seven hopes, he is still not famous, Zheng Shanguo, an old guy, still doesn't put it in his eyes.

"Li Xin now occupies most of Henan. And Lone only has Xingyang, really compared to it, Lone is still lagging behind. Li Shimin sighed and said, "Lone is preparing to attack Guanzhou and Bianzhou, what do you think?" Although Li Shimin was talking about everyone, his eyes fell on Zheng Shanguo, around Xingyang, the strength of the Zheng family is still very large, and if you want to seize Bianzhou and Guanzhou, I am afraid that the Zheng family will need to make a move.

"King Qin. The old man thought that at this time, he should not go to open up the land of Henan, but to go back to Hebei, or Hedong, not in Henan. Zheng Shanguo shook his head and said, "How many soldiers and horses did King Qin bring this time. Coupled with Xu Shiji's soldiers and horses, only 60,000 or 70,000 people, Li Xin estimated that he also brought 60,000 or 70,000 troops this time, and the two sides were originally equal in the number of soldiers. However, Li Xin successively surrendered Zhang Zhenzhou, Wei Lu and others, and the number of soldiers and horses could reach about 80,000, and Wei Lu surrendered to Li Xin. That means that Guo Qing and Wang Yaohan may return to Li Xin, and the two also have 20,000 horses in their hands, and the king of Qin wants to seize the two cities, first of all, he must divide the army, at least 40,000 troops to seize the two cities, the king of Qin thinks that there are only 20,000 people left in Xingyang who can resist Li Xin's soldiers and horses? Even the two cities not only cannot be captured, but even Xingyang will be lost, does King Qin think this is appropriate? ”

Li Shimin soon understood that although what Zheng Shanguo said was difficult to hear, what he said was also reasonable. He suddenly found that it was not a good thing to seize Xingyang by himself, Xingyang was chicken ribs, tasteless to chew, and it was a pity to abandon it. Xingyang made him dare to lose it if he wanted to, and Xingyang Zheng would not let him give up Xingyang. Just like that, he trapped his tens of thousands of troops in Xingyang.

He and Fang Xuanling glanced at each other, but seeing Fang Xuanling shaking his head, Li Shimin nodded immediately and said, "Since this is the case, it will be cheaper Li Xin." It's not that he doesn't want to attack, but after Zheng Shanguo said this, he suddenly knew that the people of the Zheng family would not let themselves attack Guanzhou and Bianzhou, although it was also for his own consideration, but more for the Zheng family's consideration, the Zheng family took refuge in Li Zhao this time, Li Xin had enough reasons to attack and even eliminate the Zheng family, the Zheng family's nest was in Xingyang, how could Li Xin not occupy Xingyang. So he could only drag Li Shimin and prevent him from withdrawing the army.

"King Qin, what we should pay attention to at this time is Hedong, the situation in Hedong cannot be changed, once the situation in Hedong changes, the advantages we have temporarily gained in Henan will also be in vain." Fang Xuanling sighed.

"Do you think the situation in Hedong has changed?" Li Shimin still said with some disbelief: "What Mr. Wei said is right, Li Xin and the generals under his command will not cooperate with the Turks, even if the Turks know our calculations and want to break through the defense and return to the grassland, they can only defeat us, or capture Hedong, use the people of Hedong, threaten Li Xin, and let Li Xin get out of the way." Therefore, the Turks must attack one person, the Bird Mouse Valley is stronger, they can only attack Hedong, and then attack Guanzhong, from the Longshan Trail back to the grassland, Li Xin loves the people like a son, it is really possible for the Turks to threaten Li Xin. ”

"The subordinates are worried about Hedong City." Fang Xuanling said in a low voice.

"Hedong City? Although Li Yuanji is at odds with us, this matter is related to the overall plan of the imperial court, and with the old general Qu Tutong staring at him, presumably Li Yuanji will not have any major problems. Li Shimin shook his head, he still trusted Li Yuanji very much at this time.

"Did the prince read the newspaper a few days ago?" Wei Zheng said disdainfully: "Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, is a killer under the Bird Mouse Valley, hehe, but he has killed a lot of enemies!" These enemies are very powerful, and hundreds of people can conquer the Bird Mouse Valley! ”

"What's going on?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling in surprise and said. He had also seen this Di Bao, but the situation was urgent at that time, and Li Xin would attack Xingyang at any time, so he just took a look, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, but at this moment, I am afraid that there is another mystery in it.

"Those who were shot by the King of Qi were all ordinary people who fled from Hedong to the Bird Mouse Valley, although they were from Hedong, but they were the people of the Han Dynasty, I heard that the King of Qi took a fancy to the women in the fleeing family, so he would let people shoot them." Fang Xuanling explained in a low voice.

"The old man also knows that Qu Tutong is sick." Zheng Shanguo said: "I was angry with the King of Qi, and the current Bird Mouse Valley is the King of Qi who is in charge." His Royal Highness the King of Qin, attacking other parts of Henan at this time, I am afraid that Xingyang will be lost, and even the situation with Hedong will be out of control. Moreover, this shooting of the common people in Hedong, such a thing spreads, and it will also be a huge blow to the prestige of the imperial court. At present, although Da Zhao has occupied the whole territory of Hebei, just rashly raise troops, the long-term development of Da Zhao is still somewhat unfavorable, the old man thinks, at this time, the King of Qin should focus on the main energy of Hedong as well, the King of Qin personally sits in Hedong, using the soldiers and horses of the Bird Mouse Valley to occupy Hedong, after occupying Hedong, threaten Guanzhong, leaving a general to sit in Xingyang and wait until the opportunity comes, we can occupy Guanzhou, Bianzhou and other places, expand their scope, and internally govern Hebei and appease the people of Hebei. As for Wang Shichong, sooner or later he will be destroyed by Li Xin, it is better to give up Luoyang, anyway, there is not much food in Luoyang City at this time, and Wang Shichong will definitely lose the city within ten days. King Qin couldn't save it even if he wanted to. ”

Li Shimin nodded, in fact, he knew that for Wang Shichong, if he could save it, he would save it, and if he couldn't save it, he would seize the land of Henan. Although he only occupies Xingyang at the moment, he has finally kept the Zheng family, and for Li Zhao, he has still won a certain victory. It's just that Zheng's attitude makes him dislike, but he is also the son-in-law of the Zheng family, looking at this attitude, it may be difficult for the Zheng family to support him.

Zheng Shanguo's father and son left, Wei Zheng also left, there were only two people in the study, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin sat down, and said with a wry smile: "I thought I took advantage of Li Xin, and finally taught him a lesson, but when I entered Xingyang, I realized that this was a chicken rib, and it was not us who got the benefits in the end, but the Zheng family, and the 60,000 army in Xingyang became the place to protect the Zheng family." ”

"There is no way to do this, what I need is these families." Fang Xuanling was relieved: "But it's not without benefits, at least 60,000 troops are stationed in Xingyang, Li Xin will be afraid of two points, if the King of Qin can use his name to defend the town, he may not be able to capture Guanzhou and Bianzhou in the future, this Guanzhou is also counted, but Bianzhou is extremely good, there is a geographical rush, if you occupy Bianzhou, go south along the canal, you can attack Jianghuai, threaten Jiangnan, may not be able to revitalize this chess game." ”

"Li Xin will not be so simple, especially the matter of Hedong, this king always feels that there is something wrong." Li Shimin put his hands on his back, looked out the window and said: "You and I both know the importance of Hedong, how could Li Xin not know that in the face of the attack of the Turkic army's 100,000 army, Li Xin actually let Su Dingfang's 50,000 army be consumed there?" This phenomenon is not normal! ”

"What if it's not normal? His soldiers and horses are also very limited, Qin Qiong and Du Fuwei's southern expedition is at least 60,000 or 70,000 people, Li Xin and Li Jing's eastern expedition to Luoyang, which cost more than 100,000 people, these grains, grass, and money are a huge number, and he no longer has many soldiers and horses to support the battle of Hedong. Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "He also had to do it as a last resort." King Qin doesn't have to take it to heart, if there is really a problem, let's hurry back to Hedong to preside over the overall situation. (To be continued......)
