Li Shimin frowned, "Mr. mean Liu Wuzhou?" ”

"No, I mean Yang Yuanqing."

Li Shimin was stunned, and hesitated for a long time: "How can you say this?" ”

Fang Xuanling smiled faintly and said, "What do you think Yang Yuanqing did when he went south to Guanzhong, and lured Xue Ju to attack Guanzhong, why did he do this?" ”

"Is it for Taiyuan?" Li Shimin cautiously verified.

"Exactly!"

Fang Xuanling said unhurriedly: "Yang Yuanqing's real strategy is to advance east to Hebei as the foundation, he was once the governor of Youzhou, he has connections there, but to take Hebei, first need Taiyuan as a springboard, to take Taiyuan, first of all, you need to contain you in Guanzhong, so he led the army south, and he formed an alliance with Xue Ju, but when Xue Ju's army arrived, he hurried back to Fengzhou, instead of attacking with Xue Ju, there is only one explanation, he has other plans, and this map must be Taiyuan, if I guess correctly, In fact, he has already deployed a heavy army in the north of Mayi County, and now he is waiting for him to return. ”

"How did Mr. know that Yang Yuanqing hurried back to Fengzhou?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "I'm just from Anding County, so I know he's gone." ”

Li Shimin pondered for a long time, and then asked: "I still don't understand why he doesn't want to be in Guanzhong, not in Longyou, but wants to fight for Hebei." ”

Fang Xuanling laughed, "For so many years, he has been the sworn enemy of the Guanlong nobles, if he takes Guanzhong, can the Guanlong nobles tolerate him?" The foundation is not stable, how can we fight for the world? And if he wanted to take Guanzhong, when Yang Xuangan occupied Guanzhong, his army would have already gone south, but he didn't do so, which means that he knows very well in his heart where his power is? Don't forget, Duke Qin, he is the son-in-law of the Pei family, and the Shandong Shi clan supports him, so that's the power he can fight. ”

Li Shimin sighed softly, "But what do we know?" Can we divide our forces to save them? ”

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Actually, Yang Yuanqing is a conspiracy. Even if he opens up the plan, Guanzhong is helpless, unless you defeat Xue Ju in a battle, you can only be dragged in Guanzhong. However, I have a strategy that can increase the difficulty of him taking Taiyuan and delay the time, maybe Guanzhong will be able to free up his hands. ”

Li Shimin didn't rush to ask Fang Xuanling what his plan was, he stared at Fang Xuanling for a long time before asking: "Mr. said that Yang Yuanqing's supporters are Shandong scholars, and the Fang family is also a famous family in Qi County. Why didn't Mr. support him? ”

Fang Xuanling pondered for a moment and said: "The Fang family has been a family of Qing reputation for generations, not a powerful gate valve like the five surnames and seven wangs, and the Fang family is just a small local family, far from being comparable to the Qinghe Cui family, Wenxi Pei family, and other worldly warrior clans, and it is the Cui, Pei, Wang, and Lu clans who support Yang Yuanqing, and they have nothing to do with the Fang family, besides." Personally, I think that those who will take over the world in the future will still be the Guanlong aristocracy. Shandong scholars are stronger than soldiers and weaker than the army, Guanlong nobles are strong in civil and military, and more importantly, Guanlong has the Sui Dynasty as the foundation, so I think Yang Yuanqing is destined to win this game of chess in the world, I am optimistic about Guanlong, and I am more optimistic about Qin Gong, so I came to take refuge. ”

Li Shimin stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Xuanling, "Mr. to me." Just like Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty, Mr. Shimin De, is the luck of the people in the world. ”

Fang Xuanling smiled, he had already seen that Li Shimin had hidden ambitions, and he was also a hero in the world!

At this moment, the anxious voice of the eldest grandson Wuji came from outside the door. "Shimin, something is wrong!"

Li Shimin was shocked, and hurriedly opened the door and asked, "What happened?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji entered the door and hurriedly said: "Our army was defeated in the shallow water plain, with tens of thousands of casualties, and Liu Hongji and Murong Luohu were captured. ”

Li Shimin's heart fell into the abyss all of a sudden, and after a while, he asked, "What about filial piety?" ”

"Xiaogong's defeated army has withdrawn to Xinping County, and Xue Ju's army is besieging it."

Li Shimin turned around and ran out, he had to go to see his father now, just ran to the door of the mansion, a messenger ran over, saw him and shouted: "Duke Qin, the king of Tang invites you to go to the prime minister's mansion immediately!" ”

Li Shimin nodded, turned over on his horse, whipped his horse violently, and galloped towards Miyagi.

In the battle of Shallow Water Plain, Xue Ju posed thousands of old and weak soldiers pretending to be a rabble, confusing Li Xiaogong, taking advantage of the instability of Li Xiaogong's army, Xue Ju's army attacked from all sides, Li Xiaogong was defeated, and more than 30,000 people were killed.

In the room, Li Yuan was so anxious that he was going crazy, Li Xiaogong was defeated in Longyou and Hedong, he didn't care, but this is Guanzhong, and he was defeated in Guanzhong, what does this mean? This meant that the imperial court he had just established was about to be overthrown, and it meant that his Li Yuan's dream was about to be shattered, and he had always thought that Xue Ju was just one of the countless bandits, but now he knew that he was wrong.

Li Yuan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and Pei Lin persuaded him on the side, "Duke Tang, the situation is critical, and the people of the world must lead the troops, and at this time of life and death, Duke Tang must not hesitate any longer." ”

Li Yuan nodded, what is Li Zhiyun's death now, he has long been thrown out of the clouds, and now he just wants to keep his court and power.

"His Royal Highness the King of Tang, Duke Qin is here!" There was a guard at the door.

"Come in!"

Li Yuan's spirits perked up, his hopes were now pinned on Li Shimin, and after a while, Li Shimin walked in quickly, bowed down and saluted, "The child Shimin sees his father!" ”

Li Yuan sighed, "Li Xiaogong was defeated, you know!" ”

Li Shimin nodded and said: "The child thinks that the top priority now is to order Dou Kang to lead 20,000 troops into Shangtai County, Tianshui County, and force Xue Ju to retreat with the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. ”

Li Yuan and Pei Lin glanced at each other, their eyes showed appreciation, and Li Yuan said again: "If you are the commander, what will happen to you?" ”

"Now that Xue Ju is winning, morale is flourishing, if the child is the main commander, he will avoid his edge and adopt a defensive position, first keep Guanzhong, and then after Xue Ju withdraws the army, he can also form an alliance with Xiliang Li Rail to jointly destroy Xue Ju."

Li Shimin hesitated, he wanted to talk about the danger of Taiyuan, but he just remembered that before he had time to ask Fang Xuanling for delaying Yang Yuanqing's strategy, he restrained the matter of Taiyuan, and said: "Xue Ju can exterminate Tang Bi, which shows that he is also a hero, we must not underestimate the enemy, if the child is the main commander, and beg Qu Tutong to be the deputy commander, with Qu Tutong's experience and the child's strategy, he will be able to win." ”

Li Yuan sighed, he didn't use his son Shimin, it was really a stupid mistake, he made a decision immediately, "Okay!" I will give you another 30,000 elite soldiers, you can take over Li Xiaogong's defeated army in an all-round way, you are fully responsible for the affairs of the former enemy, Dou Kang's side, I will immediately give an order. ”

"The child has a new staff member, the famous Fang Xuanling, and I beg my father to allow him to record the affairs of my account to join the army and counsellor military affairs."

"Yes, I'm ready!"

Li Shimin was overjoyed, and went down with a salute, Li Yuan looked at his heroic back, and sighed in his heart, I hope that it is really as Pei Lin said, Shimin killed his brother to save his father.

．．．．．．．．．

Yang Yuanqing has returned to Jiuyuan County, just as Fang Xuanling inferred, he has deployed 30,000 of the most elite Fengzhou veterans in Yulin County, which is his core army, including the 4,000 Modao Army led by Yang Sien.

But Yang Yuanqing rushed back to Jiuyuan County first for other important things, he had to arrange Yang Yu, Su Wei, Li Gang and others before he could go east.

Yang Yuanqing ran all the way into the city and returned to his mansion, everyone turned over and dismounted, Yang Yuanqing hurriedly walked into the mansion, his wife Pei Minqiu heard the news and greeted her, and her husband's return made her overjoyed, "Didn't the husband say that he was going to Yulin County?" ”

"I'm reluctant to be a lady, so I'll come back and have a look first." Yang Yuanqing laughed at his wife.

Pei Minqiu's eyes swept back, and there was a large group of maids standing behind, all of them couldn't help laughing, her face flushed, she glanced at Yang Yuanqing, and whispered: "You are worried about the children!" ”

"Hmmm! Sort of! ”

Yang Yuanqing knew that his wife was thin-skinned, so he stopped joking with her, and asked, "What about the acting king, how is he?" ”

Speaking of the acting king, Pei Minqiu laughed, when the acting king first came at night, she thought it was a girl, she spoke softly, she looked very thin, and she was still a little timid when she saw herself.

"He lives in the East Courtyard, he lives with his grandfather, and his grandfather taught him to read, do you want to see him?"

Yang Yuanqing nodded, "I want to meet him." ”

Pei Minqiu saw her husband go home, not to see her family, but to see the acting king, she was slightly disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it, she still smiled and said, "Then I'll take you there." ”

Pei Minqiu gently grabbed her husband's arm and walked towards the east courtyard, and asked in a low voice as she walked, "How long can you stay this time?" ”

"I'll arrange things, maybe tomorrow."

Pei Minqiu bit her lip and whispered, "Can't you stay for a few more days?" The children are always thinking about Daddy, and there is dust, she may be giving birth in a few days, you better be by her side. ”

Yang Yuanqing was sorry in his heart, he wanted to stay for a few more days, but the army of Yulin was already on the line, he didn't have time, he thought about it, and then smiled: "Okay!" I'll stay one more day, and I'll leave the day after tomorrow, and I'll accompany you, Minqiu, I really can't help it. ”

Pei Minqiu understood her husband's difficulties in her heart, so she was no longer reluctant, and said with a smile: "Then after visiting the king, I will come over for dinner, and we will get together as a family." ”

Yang Yuanqing nodded, the two walked to the door of the east courtyard, Pei Minqiu told her husband a few more words, then turned around and went back to the inner courtyard, Yang Yuanqing looked at her back, shook his head, and walked into the east courtyard.

The east courtyard was very quiet, but the security was extremely tight, and there were more than 300 armored soldiers on guard all around.

"Yuanqing!"

Pei Ju's voice came from behind him, Yang Yuanqing turned around, but saw Pei Ju and acting king Yang Yu each holding a flower pot in their hands, which was full of soil.

Yang Yuanqing felt strange in his heart, and hurriedly saluted Yang Yu, "See His Royal Highness the Acting King!" ”

Yang Yu held the flower pot in his hand, and said a little embarrassed: "When did Manager Yang come back?" ”

"Just came back to see Your Highness."

Yang Yuanqing glanced at the flower pots in their hands and asked with a smile: "Who are you?" ”

Pei Ju smiled, "I have nothing to do to plant flowers, and I just went down with His Highness to get soil." ”

Pei Ju put down the flower pot and patted the soil on his hands, "Let's go!" Go into the house and talk. ”

Yang Yu also put down the flower pot and followed Pei Ju into the house.
