Li Chongjiu walked out of the gate, and at this moment the night had fallen, and the squares in the city were a scene of bright lights. In the city of Jinyang, looking up, the Xishan Giant Buddha built by Emperor Gao Yang of Qi Wenxuan stood solemnly in the sinking distant mountains. If it is on a day like the Buddha Bathing Festival, the Xishan Giant Buddha has 10,000 pots of fuel overnight, and the light can shine for more than ten miles, and the entire Jinyang City can witness the glory of the Buddha's light Pudu.

Li Chongjiu was silently thinking about his situation, since the seven years of the Great Cause, he had something to do with Li Zhiwan, and he relied on the cognition of the traverser to have always had the psychology that Li Valve, who was sitting on the mandate of heaven, could help but not be the enemy. It's like going to the Warring States Period, thinking of defecting to the Qin State; went to the end of Qin and defected to Liu Bang; Five dynasties and ten kingdoms went to vote for Zhao Kuangyin; And at the end of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, the Tartars could not be allowed to enter the customs. Just as you don't take a broad road for you, you have to take the small road. The prediction of the general trend of history is the greatest advantage of the traverser.

But it is undeniable that Li Chongjiu also has a little bit of Li Valve's desire to replace him and become the master of the world. But the big waves washed the sand, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, heroes came out in large numbers, such as Dou Jiande, Luo Yi, Li Mi, Du Fuwei, Wang Shichong, Xiao Mo are all immortal heroes, but they did not defeat Li Valve to seize the world, but ended up with a defeated and dead, can they take on it, and gamble on the lives of themselves and their subordinates with the big killer weapon of the traverser.

can rise in this troubled era, and then have the best in the world, but the inertial thinking of doing business in the previous life, instinctively wants to avoid risks, and inevitably wants to bet on both ends, Li Chongjiu also thought that in the future, if the great cause is not good, he can also take advantage of the situation to join Li Valve, to give himself and his father, the brothers who came out of Qiqianzhai together, and the subordinates who followed him. Especially outside Yanmen, the moment when Li Zhiwan confided her affection to herself.

When he was in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, Li Chongjiu once talked with Li Mi about the general trend of the world, if you want to seize the world, you must combine the power of Kansai and Kanto, and the support of the family and the Hanmen is indispensable. At that time, Li Valve himself was born in a Longxi family, and he gathered the Kwantung forces, such as Li Shixian, and finally had the world.

In contrast, Dou Jiande, Li Valve's biggest opponent in the world, is also an elite from a poor family. Dou Jiande started from a humble beginning, but he had great ambitions, and after the incident, all the gains from attacking the city and plundering the land were distributed to the soldiers, and he did not take anything for himself. On weekdays, Dou Jiande and his wife are also very frugal, and they can't eat vegetables and rice for three meals. And Dou Jiande also looked at women very lightly, there were only a dozen concubines under his command, and there were as many as 1,000 palace maids who defeated Yu Wenhua and captured them in history, all of which were beauties selected by Yang Guang that year, but Dou Jiande ignored the beauty and released all the palace maids.

Dou Jiande, who was born from the grassroots and has never enjoyed these things, can actually restrain himself, which shows that he has far-sighted ambitions.

Dou Jiande knew that he was born in a poor family, and he also worked hard to accept the court officials and the family, and he was a corporal. For Wang Cong, Pei Ju, Cui Junsu, Zhang Xuansu, Yu Shiji and others, Dou Jiande is all disregarding old suspicions, respectful and courteous, awarded official positions, and entrusted with reuse, but in the end, these people have no sincere allegiance at all, Dou Jiande was defeated, these people did not immediately change the court and surrender Li Yuan, and these ministers also left the name of virtuous ministers in Tang Shu.

Of course, there are other reasons for this, but it is very important to note that Dou Jiande was born in a poor family, and these old court officials and children of the family disdain to be with him at all. What about Dou Jiande's diligence and thrift, how about corporal Lixian, and how bad about being a beautiful soldier, in their eyes, Li Yuan is an old colleague, and in contrast, Dou Jiande is a nouveau riche who suddenly gained his position. When the opponent is strong, it is just a matter of subduing for a while, and if the strength is not good, the tree will fall and scatter. Later, Li Tang fought with Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and Li Tang had ministers who fought to the death and did not surrender, on the other hand, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande. In the Tang Zheng War, Li Shimin's army had just sent a letter to Guguan, and Wang Shichong, who ruled more territory than Li Tang in the Guan, surrendered in an instant, and finally only a lonely city in Luoyang remained, is this what Li Tang called the Mandate of Heaven.

And now, if Li Chongjiu wants to come out, the same background means that he and Dou Jiande must be so difficult. And Dou Jiande has failed, is it possible for himself?

Now that the marriage with Li Yuan has failed, not only is Li Chongjiu temporarily unable to marry Li Zhiwan as his wife, but the deeper crisis is that it is impossible for Li Chongjiu to take advantage of Li Valve's power from the family. Unless Li Hu and Li Chongjiu bow their heads to Li Yuan now and admit their mistakes, obey his arrangement, obey his wishes, and marry the concubine of the Li family as his wife. If Li Chongjiu endures humiliation and bears the burden and bows his head to Li Yuan, after he gains the world, he will only regard Li Chongjiu as a meritorious dog of the Li family. joined Li Valve as one of Li Yuan's nineteen sons-in-law, and the treatment of such a son-in-law party was also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Among the large groups that will rule the world in the future, only Chai Shao is the only one who goes to Lingyan Pavilion, and the rest are all hehe.

So if he doesn't accept Li Valve's solicitation, can Li Chongjiu stand on his own and fight his way out of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty? Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu suddenly stopped.

Boom! Boom! The gate of the house has long been closed, and the city has begun to watch, and the lights in front of the doors from far and near have gradually been extinguished. Outside the walls of the heavy rammed earth mill, the hooves of the horses patrolling the city were ticking and ticking.

Li Chongjiu looked up, the night sky above the wall, the Xishan Giant Buddha was already immersed in the night, and there was no longer a single bit, but a band of light hung upside down in the air, suddenly into the bottom of the eye. The stars in front of him were bright, Li Chongjiu took a deep breath, exhaled the boredom in his chest, and the road ahead was confusing, confused, and left behind.

When he was in Huaihuang Town, after he learned that Li Yuan refused to ask for his marriage, he had already made up his mind, and sent a letter to his henchmen to Henan early, and now it should almost be in someone's hands. When they came to Jinyang City by themselves, Li Hu and Su Su all thought that they wanted to find a way with them again, how to save the current situation between Li Yuan and their own side that might turn their faces at any time, or save Li Zhiwan's marriage. But in fact, Li Chongjiu came to Jinyang with other plans.

"Fortunately, I didn't put all my expectations on the Li family, otherwise I would be in a real predicament right now. Li Yuan, Li Yuan, I don't know if a few years from now, you will regret today's decision. Li Chongjiu chuckled, his eyes revealing a hint of fierceness in the dark night, as if a sword was hidden in a box, and it was suddenly unsheathed, and the cold light hit his face.

Li Chongjiu knew that this decision was made, and the road in front of him would be full of thorns and bumps from now on, but when the eldest husband acted, how could he be timid, look forward and backward, what to endure and humiliate, and roll aside where the destiny of heaven is.
