"Uncle Yue, now that the Tiger Prison Pass is occupied by Pei Yuanqing, Li Xin's soldiers and horses have left Xuchang, the only thing Lone can do is to occupy Xingyang, otherwise, Lone may only retreat to Hebei." Li Shimin said bitterly. The battle between him and Li Xin once again made him lose the upper hand, and he had to come to Zheng Yan, which made him feel faceless.

"What is the situation in Hedong?" Zheng Yan no longer has the impetuousness of the year, Yang Xuan felt that the army rebelled, although he escaped, but the Zheng family also paid a lot of price to let him survive, so in the face of the battle in the world, he also became very cautious. Zhang Kou did not ask about Li Xin's situation, but asked about the situation in Hedong. Moreover, there was a hint of threat in Li Shimin's words just now, which made Zheng Yan feel a little uncomfortable. You Li Shimin retreated from Hebei, although my Zheng family is in Xingyang, Li Xin captured Xingyang, what can you do with my Zheng family? No matter who sits in this world, it will not have much impact on the five surnames and seven hopes of the Zheng family. There are no thousand-year-old dynasties, only thousand-year-old families. This sentence is not only used on the Taiyuan Wang family, but also for the Xingyang Zheng family.

"Although Su Dingfang has an army of 50,000, but in front of the Turkic army of 100,000, it is still not enough, but in a month, the Turks will definitely capture Hedong, and the tens of thousands of troops of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, and the old general Qu Tutong, will definitely be able to roar down, destroy the remaining Turks in one fell swoop, and let the banner of Da Zhao occupy Hedong again." Li Shimin said without thinking. This is his vision, and more importantly, such an ideal is about to be realized, he believes that Li Yuanji will definitely not destroy his plan at this time, and Qu Tutong will also follow his plan.

"Yes." Zheng Yan nodded, and thought seriously for a moment, if there was no change in the situation in Hedong, he would not dare to make any decisions, but the current situation in Hedong seemed to have stabilized, so his mind was much more relaxed. Li Xin and Li Shimin are definitely different, and now Li Yuan is at a disadvantage. Need the support of the Kanto family, many important positions in the Li Zhao court are occupied by the children of the Guanzhong family, and then look at Guanzhong, although most of the official positions are reserved for the Guanzhong family, but the rise of the Hanmen is particularly obvious in Guanzhong, this is a trend, indicating that the Guanzhong court pays more attention to those children of the Han, which makes the Kanto family very dissatisfied. Of course, subconsciously, since the emergence of the two interest groups of the Kanto family and the Guanlong family. The two were interdependent and fought against each other, with Chang'an and Luoyang as the center respectively, in an attempt to gain the upper hand in the imperial court. Sometimes, either the east wind overpowers the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Now that the Guanlong family obviously supports Li Xin, the Kanto family naturally wants to support Li Yuan.

"I heard that Wei Lu's tens of thousands of horses in Xingyang are not local people in Xingyang?" Li Shimin looked at Zheng Yan with some worry and said.

"As long as we are in Xingyang, what is there that our Zheng family can't do?" Zheng Yan said indifferently: "The streets and alleys of Xingyang, from food, clothing, housing and transportation. Most of the shops belong to our Zheng family, and a small part are other landlords Haoqiang, if Wei Lu wants to buy something, he is looking for our Zheng family. If our Zheng family does not support it, tens of thousands of his troops will be starved to death. What's more, although he is powerful, his subordinates are not saints. Where is the faithfulness that cannot be bought as long as there is money? King Qin thinks so! Zheng Yan was very proud, and Li Shimin sounded a little uncomfortable. But I have to admit that the Zheng family in Xingyang still has such qualifications!

"That's good, if we take Xingyang, the surrounding Bianzhou and Guanzhou will also be under our control, so that even if Li Xin occupies the Tiger Pass, we can sweep half of Henan, and then occupy Shandong and other places, threatening Jianghuai, Luoyang and Jingzhou." The smile on Li Shimin's face increased a lot, he still underestimated the influence of the Kanto family in Kanto and other places, and now after Zheng Yan said this, he knew the strength of the Kanto family.

"King Qin, don't worry, I will go to Xingyang first, and when the day after tomorrow, you can enter Xingyang." Zheng Yan stood up unconcernedly, arched his hand towards Li Shimin and said.

"Okay, congratulations to my father-in-law." Li Shimin was slightly angry in his heart, but his face was still full of smiles, and he personally sent Zheng Yan out of the camp.

"The heritage of the Kanto family is still shocking." Fang Xuanling walked out from behind Li Shimin and sighed: "Look, tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xingyang City, plus soldiers and horses in Guanzhou, Bianzhou and other places, add up to at least sixty or seventy thousand people, and the Xingyang Zheng family didn't take it to heart." Awesome! Terrible. ”

"I heard that the Gao family and the Cui family all approached Li Xin and wanted to assist Li Xin, but Li Xin refused, this is Li Xin's cleverness." Li Shimin clenched his fists, shook his head and said: "Whether it is Guanlong or Kanto, these families are greedy and want to seize more things, so they were rejected by Li Xin, and that's why these people will find our Da Zhao." It's just that our Da Zhao is really so easy to bully? Or do you take me Li Shimin for a fool? ”

Obviously, Li Shimin is also extremely disgusted with this practice of the Kwantung family, look at the Zheng family in Xingyang, it is just a family, but it controls the entire economic lifeline of Xingyang, how many people Wei Lu has in Xingyang, Xingyang is a military town, no matter how stupid Wang Shichong is, 20,000 people will still be put there, but the Zheng family in Xingyang did not take these 20,000 people to heart at all, Zheng Yan also said that it can be solved casually.

"The big family, the prince can only rely on them now, and he can't turn his face with them!" Fang Xuanling sighed and said. He also doesn't like the big families, but now Da Zhao, who has fallen into the disadvantage, has to meet these big families.

"Hey! Of course, I know what you said. There is nothing to be done, if he becomes the emperor one day, the first thing is to attack these families. Li Shimin snorted coldly and said.

Fang Xuanling was shocked in the back, this was the first time Li Shimin exposed his ambitions, which made Fang Xuanling happy at the same time, but also a little panicked, he glanced around, and saw that they were all Li Shimin's personal soldiers, so he was much more relieved. This Li Shimin wants to ascend the throne and become emperor, and he doesn't know how much effort he has to put in. What's more, there is also a crown prince Li Jiancheng in front of him, and if he wants to ascend the throne, he must first solve the entire obstacle of Li Jiancheng.

The corners of Fang Xuanling's mouth showed a trace of bitterness, perhaps this was the reason why Du Ruhui looked down on Li Shimin back then. No matter what it looks like, the Li Zhao dynasty will inevitably have internal strife in the future.

In Luoyang City, Wang Shichong's face was gloomy, he looked at the east every day, looking forward to a soldier and horse from the east, since he knew that the Tiger Prison Pass was lost, he knew that things were not good, and the loss of the Tiger Prison Pass was equivalent to the loss of reinforcements. Luoyang City is high and deep, but there are too many people inside, the food consumed every day is very amazing, but in the past, Luoyang is a metropolis, there is nothing to buy, grain, fur, glass, jewelry, etc. are everything, the scale of the east and west cities is not under Chang'an at all, and the ships passing by Luoshui every day do not know how many, so there is the possibility of hoarding food, of course, except for the palace and those families who store a lot of food, but the people are not, The real biggest crisis is not in the imperial court, but in the people, and some families in the people have run out of food.

"Your Majesty, many families in the people have run out of food recently, do you think you should send some food to those people?" Yun Dingxing said with some concern.

"Giving out food? Give them food, what do we eat? Wang Xuanshu said dissatisfiedly: "If they want to find it, they have to find Li Jing, if it weren't for Li Jing, how could Luoyang City be besieged?" How can there be no food? ”

"Yes! Lord Yun, the most important thing at the moment is to ensure the food of the soldiers, and only if the soldiers can eat enough, can they have enough energy to resist Li Jing's attack. Wang Xuanying also objected.

How could the two brothers of the Li people take it to heart and give food, indicating that the soldiers have nothing to eat, and they will be dizzy from hunger when the time comes, where will they still have the strength to defend Luoyang City with Li Jing's attack!

"But?"

"Forget it, Lord Yun, for now, let's keep the soldiers to eat!" Wang Shichong interrupted Yun Dingxing's words and frowned, this is a contradiction, so Wang Shichong has to choose this way, although he knows that such a choice is very unfavorable to him, but there is no way, he can only hope that his time will drag on a little longer.

Yun Dingxing sighed, a bitterness in his heart, he originally wanted to remind Wang Shichong that the people in Luoyang City were innocent, and the soldiers guarding the city were more Henan soldiers than Wang Shichong's Jianghuai soldiers, and even Luoyang soldiers, these people all had two or three relatives in Luoyang. Where is there anything that eats well for yourself, but makes your family hungry? Wang Shichong's so-called feeding the soldiers is almost an impossible thing.

"Lord Yun rest assured, at the moment Li Jing is now in an embarrassing realm, he wants to attack Luoyang City, not only will he lose his troops, but also whether he can capture it has become a problem, and in Hedong City, at this time, I am afraid that he has fallen into a bitter battle, Su Dingfang is only 20,000 horses in Hedong, and how much can he resist in the face of the attack of 100,000 Turks? Li Xin's soldiers and horses are still in Henan, and it is very difficult to return to the army, the only one who can save Hedong is Li Jing, compared to Luoyang, Hedong is more important, he can't hold out for long, sooner or later he will have to go back to rescue Hedong. Wang Shichong seemed to feel Yun Dingxing's worries, and explained with a smile.

"Your Majesty." What else can Yun Dingxing say at this time? It seems that apart from this sentence, there will be no more words. (To be continued......)
