Chang'an City, Shiliba Bridge.

It was spring in March, and the willow trees on both sides of the bridge were lush and green.

When the scholars send each other, they all say goodbye to each other in Baqiao, and they fold willows when they don't give each other, so Baqiao folds willows, which is very famous in Chang'an.

Now on the Baqiao, Li Jiancheng, the prince of Li Tang, and Li Tang Baiguan are all beside the bridge.

The bright yellow umbrella shaded the sun, Li Jiancheng sat peacefully in the willow shade, and for a long time in the willow tree, Li Tang's Eastern Expeditionary Army was slowly advancing.

Li Jiancheng saw that Li Shimin was dressed in gold armor and rode alone in front, while Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, Qu Tutong and other twenty-five generals followed. Behind is the Tang Dynasty Iron Cavalry with heavy armor, and the fish are running through, and the military appearance is neat. The yellow dust is long, revealing a taste of a hundred battles.

Although Li Shimin did not capture Luoyang, Li Jiancheng was still slightly unhappy, Li Shimin went out this time to capture more than 70 states in Wang Shichong's land, except for Luoyang in Henan, and the land west of Tiger Pass fell into the hands of Li Tang.

Such a feat, how can Li Jiancheng not be jealous, and Li Yuan heard that after Li Shimin came back, he asked the prince to come to greet him, and he sacrificed the Taimiao with him and so on. If Li Shimin captures Luoyang again, destroys Zheng Guo, and captures Wang Shichong under the Taimiao, then where will he put his dignified prince's face, I am afraid that he would have already responded to Li Yuanji's words to make a high contribution, and even the position of the prince is no longer guaranteed.

In any case, Li Shimin must not be allowed to take military power again, and this time the battle of Luoyang sounded the alarm bell for Li Jiancheng.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Li Jiancheng saw Li Shimin, Li Yuanji dismounted and saluted him, and said with a smile: "King Qin, King Qi has made immortal achievements this time, as a brother, I am really happy for you." ”

Li Shimin said: "Don't dare, I was about to ask my father and the prince for guilt, but I failed to capture Luoyang, but was taken by Li Chongjiu." Let its power extend to the Central Plains, and it will be a problem for my Datang's henchmen in the future! ”

Li Yuanji said on the side: "Li Chongjiu is at most a skin problem, and the second brother said that it is too much of a confidant." ”

Li Jiancheng listened to Li Shimin's tone, and said in his heart that the fourth brother didn't understand anything, what Li Er meant was that he still wanted to take power and continue to attack Luoyang. Li Jiancheng hugged Li Shimin's shoulder and said, "Second brother, you attack Zheng this time." It was really hard to open up territory for my Tang Dynasty, and it was really hard to travel and travel. The matter of attacking Luoyang, the emperor's intention, it is better to slow it down and leave it to other great futures! ”

Li Shimin heard Li Jiancheng say this. smiled: "Thank you for your compassion to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "I have good news for you second brother, my brother-in-law and nephew have come back safely, and I said that I was kidnapped by Zhao Jun, and then came back safely, it is really a great luck, King Qin can be reunited with his family when he returns to the mansion, it is really lucky." ”

Li Shimin heard that the eldest grandson Wujian and Li Chengqian actually came back safely. couldn't help but be surprised, and said in his heart that Li Chongjiu would let his wife and children go so lightly, but after thinking about it, he immediately understood what Li Chongjiu meant, and the two came back safely, which clearly made Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng suspicious, this was purely a good show written and acted by Li Shimin himself. Li Chongjiu is really good at tricks. One ring on top of another.

Looking at Li Jiancheng's expression, Li Shimin didn't speak, but said: "This matter must be planned by Li Chongjiu, His Royal Highness the Prince, this person is cunning and the best at divisiveness." ”

Li Shimin looked at Li Jiancheng's expression, obviously not convinced. said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the people of the world are loyal to you and to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Li Yuanji didn't speak, but there was a look of disdain on his face. Li Jiancheng immediately laughed and said, "Erlang, how can Lone not believe you?" Come into town! ”

After saying that, Li Jiancheng grabbed the hands of Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, and the three of them walked in front of the hundred officials together. Pei Lianwei's Li Tang Baiguan immediately bowed to the three of them to congratulate Li Shimin on his triumphant return this time.

After that, the three armies entered the city, and the people on the streets of Chang'an rushed to witness this grand occasion. After the three brothers of the Li family sacrificed the Taimiao, Li Yuan immediately gathered all the meritorious soldiers in the Wuji Palace, performed the gift of drinking, and rewarded the three armies.

When he arrived in the Wuji Palace, Li Shimin saw Li Yuan standing in front of the palace, and immediately stepped forward quickly, knelt down first, and wept to Li Yuan: "Father, it is the sons and daughters who are incompetent and cannot protect the third sister. I implore my father and the emperor to punish his sons severely. ”

Li Yuan's eyes turned red when he heard Li Shimin's words, his body shook slightly, and he was speechless for a while.

Li Jiancheng glanced at Li Shimin and said: "Father, you can't blame Shimin for this matter, it's all Wang Shichong's fault, alas!" Who would have thought that Wang Shichong, the thief, would send troops to intercept and kill the third sister when he left the camp of King Qin, and he happened to be halfway through. ”

Li Shimin couldn't cry and knelt in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuanchang sighed and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, I heard that Wuji and Chengqian are also safe and sound, and I am relieved." Since Jinyang raised troops to enter Chang'an, I, Li Tang, have already shed too much blood, and I can't make any more mistakes. ”

Li Shimin listened to Li Yuan's tone and knew that Li Yuan was thinking of Li Xuanba, who had just died of illness, and Li Zhiyun, who died in Chang'an when Jinyang raised troops. Li Shimin looked at Li Yuan's sideburns and star frost, and when he first entered Chang'an, his high-spirited attitude seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, thinking of Li Zhiwan, who was riding a horse and whipping up his side at the beginning, he burst into tears.

Li Jiancheng, Li Yuanji thought of Li Zhiwan and couldn't help but accompany Li Yuan, and Li Shimin and the two cried for a while.

"On the day of triumph, why follow the example of children!"

Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin, helped him up and said, "Sanniang's matter, I know that it was an accident, and I don't blame you, I only blame me for not treating her well at the beginning." What I was really angry about was that this time our army attacked Luoyang for half a year, how much food was spent, how many soldiers were killed and wounded, and finally I picked up a leak for Li Chongjiu, I couldn't swallow this breath, I couldn't sleep easily, and my food was tasteless! ”

Li Shimin knelt down again and said: "Father, Luoyang must not be given to Li Chongjiu, otherwise the world will repeat the matter of Zhou Qi's struggle for hegemony in the past, we must take advantage of Li Chongjiu's unstable foothold to counterattack Luoyang and consolidate the newly captured land of Henan by our army." Erchen please fight Luoyang again! ”

Li Jiancheng immediately said after hearing this: "Father, what the King of Qin said is right, Luoyang must not be given to Li Chongjiu, and his sons are willing to go out for the King of Qin and conquer Luoyang!" ”

Li Yuanji said: "The sons and daughters also have to share their father's worries." ”

Li Yuan looked at his three sons and smiled happily: "I am very pleased that you can think about the Tang Dynasty so much and share my worries, but the counterattack on Luoyang matters." I've already made it! ”

"I wish to hear my father's plan!" The three of them said together.

"The soldiers of Guanzhong Mansion have been fighting for half a year, and the men and horses are tired, so this is to take a break. And Xiao Mo has just captured Xiangyang, whether he has the ambition of the north map, we don't know. Li Yuan said calmly.

Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji all nodded.

Li Yuan said: "Now that Wang Shichong is gone, my biggest opponent in the Tang Dynasty is Li Chongjiu. Although Li Chongjiu is based in Luoyang, but the Turks, Goguryeo are all henchmen, and the anti-kings of Shandong are all hot potatoes, whether it is on national strength, military strength, or the general trend, the Zhao army is not as good as us, you all have to understand this, our Li family's four fathers and sons must first work together, so that Zhao will have no chance to win. ”

Li Yuan said this, and the three of them nodded happily.

"Then what will happen to my father's next move?" Li Jiancheng asked.

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "No, Li Chongjiu has just broken Luoyang, and we can't let him gain a firm foothold." Xiaogong and Li Jing's warships are going to be ready, it is the time to go down the river to level Xiao Milling in one fell swoop, destroy Xiao Milling, we can attack Luoyang from Tongguan, Xiangyang, Hanoi on three sides, if Li Chongjiu transfers troops to defend Luoyang, Turkic, Goguryeo will put pressure on Youyan, if Li Chongjiu retreats, our army will take the opportunity to enter Luoyang! ”

Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Yuanji all showed expressions like clouds and fog when they heard Li Yuan say this.

From Jinyang to the capture of Chang'an, first pacified Longyou Hexi, then went south to Sichuan and Shu, and went north to Hedong, Li Tang's grand strategy has always been formulated by Li Yuan, and he fought one battle after another, and Li Shimin, Li Xiaogong, and Li Shentong were just the commanders of the army who went out to fight.

Li Yuan's grasp of strategy has never been missed, and Li Shimin thought to himself that if he insisted on a decisive battle with the Zhao army at the Tiger Pass, the victory or defeat would be unpredictable under the internal and external attacks. Although Li Yuan did not get Luoyang at the moment, he also expanded Li Tang's power, whether it was to recapture Luoyang in the future, or to sweep away Xiao Mo in the south, the strategic initiative to attack has always been in Li Yuan's hands.

In terms of grand strategy, Li Tang has not made mistakes from beginning to end, and has accumulated advantages step by step, steadily and steadily. But it is undeniable that Li Chongjiu's capture of Luoyang was unexpected by Li Tang.

Li Shimin said: "Father, after Li Chongjiu captured the three cities of Heyang, the Zhao army's water division could follow the Yellow River and Luoshui to Luoyang City, and my Tang Dynasty did not have a water division to intercept on the Yellow River. In this way, if we want to follow the example of Wang Shichong at the beginning, cut off the reinforcements on the periphery of Luoyang, and then capture Luoyang, the chance becomes very small. ”

Li Yuanji said: "Not only Heyang, Tiger Prison, and Xuanyuan Pass are all in the hands of Zhao Jun. We are desperate to attack Luoyang, and it will be difficult to take it. ”

Li Jiancheng said: "So our army insists on continuing to sweep the periphery of Luoyang, and then fight with the Zhao army under the city of Luoyang. ”

"In short, Li Chongjiu must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang!" Li Yuan finally said.

Speaking of this, Wai Zhou Pei Lin walked in and said to Li Yuan: "Your Majesty, the time has come, I implore Your Majesty and the three His Highnesses to attend the banquet." ”

Li Yuan nodded and said: "The banquet of drinking is to celebrate the triumph of you, everyone must be happy, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" ”

"No!"

After speaking, Li Yuan walked to the top of the main hall with the three princes, and all the officials congratulated and toasted the father and son, and the hall was so lively.

In the same way, the banquet of Zhao Jun in Luoyang was also lively.

In the fourth year of Wude, the confrontation between Zhao and Tang under Luoyang City was only the beginning.
