"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you think Li Xin will find out that the Turks are attacking Guanzhong?" Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "According to the news from Guanzhong, Li Xin has gathered the soldiers of the Bashang battalion and the Lantian battalion, and about 100,000 soldiers and horses are attacking Jiangnan, maybe he didn't find out?" It's just that the people of the world are still a little worried, and Li Xin is digging a hole again. ”

"This situation is not impossible, Li Xin is treacherous, the actions between us and the Turks may not be able to hide from him, but the Turkic soldiers are divided into two, one part joins our army, and one part attacks Guanzhong, the possibility is still not very large, after all, the Turks in the steppe, where to attack, when to attack, Li Xin may not know." Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said.

"Li Xin is our great enemy." Li Shimin sighed: "I should have killed him in the first place." ”

"What is the most important thing for the people to know about this attack on Hebei?" Li Jiancheng stared at Li Shimin and said: "At the beginning, I was against this matter, because I was worried about the problem of military discipline, the Turks were fierce and brutal, the army was out on the march, and killing was inevitable, but in addition to killing, there were many things that were very important, the Turks slaughtered the city at every turn, they killed the Han people, and the gold and silver treasures they got enriched the treasury, maybe we will also get some benefits, but what we have lost is the hearts of the people." After all, our Da Zhao is not Guanzhong, and the people of the world are not Li Xin and Li Jing, you are marching and fighting, not only to conquer the city, but also to pay attention to the local people's hearts, if our Da Zhao wants to seize the world, we need the people's hearts, and the people's hearts are not in me, even if they occupy Youzhou, Hebei? ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng deeply, he used to feel that Li Jiancheng was always against him, but now he knows that Li Jiancheng is thinking about the people's hearts while thinking about seizing the world. He was not opposed to regaining military power, but worried about the Turkic people's ravaging of the Central Plains, and in this regard, Li Shimin felt that he still underestimated his brother.

"The people of the world understand." Li Shimin nodded and said.

"In terms of grain and grass, you can rest assured, I will definitely arrange it properly." Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. looked at Li Shimin and said: "Maybe you and my brother are a little contradictory, but brothers are brothers after all, this Da Zhao's country belongs to his father's emperor and our Li family, and the second brother will not look at our country for Li Xin's gains!" This time to attack Hebei and Youzhou, it depends on the second brother's ability. Last time, if it weren't for Lu Chu and them, my father would not have let you attack Luoyang, and I didn't actually blame you for the fiasco last time. ”

Li Shimin's heart warmed, Li Jiancheng could say such things. has already seen the sincerity in his heart, what else can Li Shimin, as a younger brother, say? At the moment, he said: "Big brother, rest assured, Shimin will definitely capture Youzhou, Hebei in the fastest time period." ”

"After attacking Guanzhong, the Tuli Khan immediately returned to the east and will help us capture Huating, where Luo Yi's grain and grass are located. If you lose the food and grass, your attack speed will also increase, and the Lu family will also help us, the meaning of my father. Hope you solve Youzhou before the year. Li Jiancheng said the latest news.

Li Shimin's face moved, and finally he smiled bitterly: "The Turks are really greedy, they attacked Huating, ostensibly to help us." In fact, he fell in love with the grain and grass of Huating, when Yang Guang attacked Goguryeo, he didn't know how much grain and grass he used to go to Zhuojun, and Luo Yi defeated the Xue family. occupied Youzhou, and also got this grain and grass, and it was with this grain and grass that he became the lord of Youzhou today. Youzhou is sparsely populated, except for the territory of Youzhou, I am afraid it is these grains and grasses, the Turki Khan attacked Youzhou, these grains and grasses will probably be obtained by him, and when we attacked Youzhou, the Turks suffered heavy casualties, and these pensions were also paid by us It is really hateful. ”

"At least we got Youzhou, didn't we? Heading south from Youzhou, I believe that Hebei will be conquered soon. Li Jiancheng also said helplessly. He naturally knew the plans of the Turks, but in the face of these, he did not know what to do and could not solve these problems.

"Then let the Turki Khan stay in Guanzhong a little longer." Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and he said, "I believe that Li Xin will definitely be happy to leave a group of Turks to help him build roads." ”

Li Jiancheng's face moved, and he looked at Li Shimin in surprise and said, "Are you going to reveal all these things to Li Xin?" Will Li Xin believe it? If the Turks knew, they really didn't know what would happen? ”

"Why not?" Li Shimin said proudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't think that Li Xin doesn't know about this!" I can guarantee that Li Xin must have known about this at this time, but he didn't know if he knew that the Turks would attack him, so I was going to send someone to tell him, and even tell him the direction of the Turkic attack. ”

"Do you want Li Xin to leave part of the army in Guanzhong?" Li Jiancheng said with some curiosity: "You are Yangmou!" Even if Li Xin knew your plan, I am afraid that there would be no way to refuse your kindness. ”

"Of course not." Li Shimin was also very proud, and said: "No matter what, we can also hold back some of Li Xin's soldiers and horses, but unfortunately, he still has a Li Jing, otherwise, we can even drag Li Xin." At the very least, it will buy us almost a month. It's a pity. There is no lack of envy in Li Shimin's words, and an excellent commander can help Li Shimin solve many things.

"How was Xu Shiji you brought last time?" Li Jiancheng seemed to think of something and said: "His wife Shen Ruyan fell into the hands of Li Xin, and his father thought about whether to marry him?" It's just that his talent is worth it? ”

"Yes, Xu Shiji is a Confucian general." Li Shimin's eyes lit up and said: "This person was wronged under Li Mi and Dou Jiande before, if he could delegate power, Wang Shichong might not be able to defeat Li Mi at the beginning." ”

"This man is so powerful?" Li Jiancheng was very surprised by Li Shimin's evaluation of Xu Shiji, and said with a slight sigh: "Although this person is good, it is a pity that his morality is a little worse, his wife was captured by Li Xin, and he did not send anyone to rescue him, and even I heard that Xu Shiji escaped on the battlefield at the beginning, and only Shen Ruyan was captured by Li Xin." ”

"We only need to pay attention to his talents, as long as we don't betray our Da Zhao, now pay attention to his character, how can we get useful talents?" Li Shimin said with some disapproval. The personalities of the two are different, so there are many differences in the views of employment. However, the atmosphere of the conversation between the two just now was very good, and they did not make trouble unpleasantly because of this disagreement, and even Li Jiancheng personally sent Li Shimin out of the East Palace.

On the third day, Li Yuan personally issued an order to restore Li Shimin's title and official position, as the king of Qin and the general of Tiance, commanding all the soldiers and horses of Li Zhao and going out to Youzhou, but he also ordered Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to be the supervisor of the army, leading 150,000 troops to attack Youzhou, including 80,000 Turkic soldiers and horses, and the rest were Han soldiers and horses, Xu Shiji, You Junda, Xie Yingdeng, Zhai Changsun, Hou Junji, Yin Kaishan and other generals followed Li Shimin to conquer Youzhou. For a while, the momentum was huge, the world shook, and Youzhou Luo Yi was even more shocked three times a day. Even Dou Jiande, who was in Hebei, was also prepared in Changshan County, and no one knew whether Li Shimin would suddenly attack Hebei.

In Chang'an City, Li Xin was in the Wude Palace, the eldest grandson Wujian was wearing armor for Li Xin, and the other Yao Muxue, Li Zhiwan and other daughters were standing aside, Li Chengzong and other children also looked at Li Xin with admiring eyes, and Li Xin, who was wearing a black armor, was extremely brave.

"Prime Minister, Jin Yiwei received a strange piece of information today." Shen Qianqiu strode in, and he was saying with a surprised expression, "The news should be from the Thunderbolt Hall. ”

"Perak Hall?" Li Xin said curiously: "Li Shimin took the initiative to send us information, it's not so good!" What is he trying to make us do? Help them defeat the Turks attacking Guanzhong? ”

"That's right, the Turks will send the Turki Khan to lead 150,000 troops to attack us." Shen Qianqiu said disdainfully: "However, according to our information, the soldiers and horses brought by the Tuli Khan this time are not 100,000, only 80,000, and the direction of the attack is still the Longshan Trail. Li Shimin wanted to drag our soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, but he didn't know that in fact, we already knew these military secrets, and Li Shimin was uneasy and kind! ”

"He's a conspirator, and he's a half-truth. What's the most believable lie in the world? is the half-truth, is the easiest to believe, Li Shimin uses this method, but unfortunately, our Jinyiwei has discovered this loophole. Li Xin patted his belt and said with a smile: "That's fine, he came to calculate us, and we just calculated him." Hehe, let the general make some illusions, our soldiers and horses will first advance to the north, and then to the south, not only to fool Li Shimin, but also to fool Xiao Miao. ”

"Li Shimin also underestimated our Jinyiwei too much." Shen Qianqiu said very proudly, the current development of Jinyiwei will definitely not be worse than that of Thunderbolt Hall, in the final analysis, it is because Jinyiwei is behind the Li Tang Dynasty and has the support of Li Xin, but Thunderbolt Hall is Li Shimin's, how much money can Li Shimin support, Li Yuan supports Zhao Feng, will not support Thunderbolt Hall, Thunderbolt Hall of the eldest grandson Wuji is actually still eating the old bottom left by the original eldest grandson Sheng.

"Be careful of the Perak Hall, if you can, kill all the Perak Halls in the Guanzhong. Leave those hidden deeper, and later with great use. Li Xin commanded.

"Yes, my subordinates will let people do it." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said, he can find an opportunity to destroy his biggest enemy, Shen Qianqiu is still very willing, he didn't dare to do it without Li Xin's permission before, but this time with Li Xin's permission, he can do it boldly with confidence.
