"Hey, Wang Shichong is also unlucky to meet someone like Mr." Li Xin said with a smile after hearing this. Cen Wenwen is making excuses for himself, in fact, no matter what kind of method Wang Shichong thinks of, this is the gap in strength, if Wang Shichong is strong, Li Xin will not be like this, let alone design him.

"Wang Shichong can't steal chickens!" Cen Wenwen said modestly: "This is mainly because the prime minister's strength is too strong, although Wang Shichong is cunning, but in this regard, it is much worse, strength determines everything, Wang Shichong is destined to be a person without strength, so he will be oppressed by the prime minister." Even if you find a reason to prevaricate, you will still be killed by the prime minister in the end. ”

"Li Shimin has defeated Liu Heimin, and now he is attacking Leshou, I'm afraid Dou Jiande can't resist Li Shimin's attack, Wang Shichong can't stay, he used to keep him just because he didn't want to have a conflict with Dou Jiande, now if he keeps Wang Shichong, who knows if he will hook up with Li Shimin, one from Hedong, one from Luoyang, plus Jianghuai, we are a three-line battle, I'm afraid no, we can only solve Wang Shichong first." Li Xin looked into the distance and said: "There is no chance before the year, but after the year, you write a letter to the general and let the general start to prepare." Luoyang must be taken, although we occupy Jingzhou, the grain and grass in the south can be transported from Jingzhou to Guanzhong, but after all, there is no speed from the Grand Canal. Once Wang Shichong really blocked the Grand Canal, our losses would be relatively large. ”

"Yes." Cen Wenwen hurriedly responded, and soon two letters left the camp, one went to Guanzhong, and the other was to find Wang Shichong. Li Xin led the army to continue to advance.

"Prime Minister, that Wang Shichong is a little interesting, he knows so much that General Guo Xiaoke has come to Xinye, if not, Wang Shichong has the courage to raid Nanyang? From the point of view of being a minister to the prime minister, Wang Shichong is not so bold. Unless he's got the exact news. Cen Wenwen stepped forward and whispered.

"Are you saying that Nanyang has Wang Shichong's internal response?" Li Xin moved slightly.

"If that's all there is, it's nothing? The subordinates are worried about the people around General Guo. Cen Wenwen hurriedly said: "The prime minister can send someone to see if there are any more people around General Guo?" may be able to know a little, General Guo went from Nanyang to Xinye, what he wanted was to be a pioneer, so that when he conquered Wang Shichong, he would be a marquis in the first battle. This is also very normal, but doesn't the prime minister think it's too coincidental? Guo Xiaoke's side was just powerful, and Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses set off from Yexian County, without even any preparation. The speed of Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses is really fast! ”

Li Xin's face was gloomy, and he nodded, and asked people to beckon Shen Qianqiu and said, "Is there any more people around Guo Xiaoke recently?" ”

"This? The subordinates are not clear. Shen Qianqiu hesitated for a while and hurriedly said.

"Let Ji Gang hurry up and investigate, and give a result before Gu arrives in Nanyang." Li Xin remembered the things in Jinyi Weizhong, Shen Qianqiu's external affairs, and Ji Gang's internal affairs, and what more people were around Guo Xiaoke, that was also something that Ji Gang knew.

Cen Wenwen looked at everything in front of him and didn't speak, he had heard that Li Xin's Jinyi Guard was quite strong before. It's just that those are all rumors, but now I know that even people like Guo Xiaoke have Jinyiwei secret agents around them, which shows how far the scale of Jinyiwei has developed. This made Cen Wenwen more cautious in his heart.

"Stupid." Although Ji Gang's news did not come, Li Xin absolutely believed that Guo Xiaoke must have Wang Shichong's spies by his side, otherwise. understands Guo Xiaoke's whereabouts so clearly, and it also has an impact on Guo Xiaoke's thoughts, I am afraid that he is Guo Xiaoke's pillow person. He had also heard that Guo Xiaoke was lustful. If you don't go anywhere, you will see if there are any beautiful women or the like in the area under your jurisdiction, in this era, it is also a normal thing for a man to have many women, Li Xin only needs you not to violate the laws of the imperial court, and it is not a matter of accounting. It's just that he didn't expect that Guo Xiaoke was so careless and married a spy by his side.

"This kind of thing can't be prevented. Prime Minister, Wang Shichong is waiting for you! Cen Wenwen glanced at Li Xin and persuaded in a low voice.

"Let's go! After passing the order, King Gu wanted to meet Wang Shichong, this guy actually dared to calculate the generals under my Li Xin, which is a bit interesting. A sneer appeared at the corner of Li Xin's mouth, and Cen Wenwen fought a cold war in his heart, and mourned for Wang Shichong for a while. It's not good to offend anyone, you have to offend Li Xin, isn't this looking for guilt?

Leshou City Jincheng Palace, Dou Jiande sat on the throne, his face was gloomy, and his eyebrows were full of frustration, Liu Heimin's army of more than 100,000 was defeated by Li Shimin, and the soldiers and horses of Daxia were lost, and Dou Jiande only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, guarding Le Shou, but outside, Li Shimin and Xu Shiji led 300,000 people, part of which was Li Zhao's army, part of which was the surrender of the cities along the way, and part of which was the army of the Turks.

"Yuzhou has been lost, and Wanshou Palace has also been occupied by Li Shimin." Dou Jiande looked down, Cui Junsu in the waiter, Ling Jing of the Guozi Festival, He Chou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Liu Heimin, the general, and other military generals appeared in the palace, Dou Jiande's voice was full of a trace of fatigue, and said: "Now that we are capturing Le Shou, the army is outside, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

"Only break through the siege, although our army is besieged by Li Shimin at the moment, but in fact, Li Shimin is not popular in Hebei, even those Shandong families are the same, they do not trust Li Shimin, the Turks are ravaging Shandong and Hebei, the most important thing for the Kwantung family is blood, there is no good impression of the Turks, at this time, as long as we can withstand Li Shimin's attack, sooner or later on the land of Hebei, there will be countless heroes and heroes, holding high the banner of anti-Zhao and resisting Li Shimin." Guozi Sacrifice Wine Ling Jing said loudly. He has always been Dou Jiande's advisor, and this time is no exception, and he preemptively said his decision.

"We only have 50,000 troops, how can we break through the siege of 300,000 troops?" Cui Junsu sighed and said, he was originally a subordinate of the previous dynasty, because he was born in Shandong, he became a courtier of Dou Jiande, in fact, he didn't look down on Dou Jiande at all, for him, Li Zhao may have many shortcomings, but it is better than Dou Jiande. If you can surrender him, it is also a blessing for the people of Hebei and Shandong.

"You want to surrender?" Ling Jing snorted coldly, glaring angrily at Cui Junsu, but there was a sadness in the depths of his eyes, in this place in Hebei, the strength of the Kanto family is extremely strong, although Dou Jiande is the son of heaven, but in fact, these Kanto families simply put Dou Jiande in their eyes, even Cui Junsu and He Chou are very respectful to Dou Jiande on the surface, but Dou Jiande believes in them very much.

"How is that possible?" Cui Junsu's face was embarrassed for a while, and he sneered: "It may be possible for the 50,000 army to break through, but Lord Ling has thought about it, after the First World War, how many families in Hebei have lost their husbands and fathers, the emperor, the minister does not want to take refuge in Li Shimin, the minister thinks that it is better to temporarily call Li Shimin a minister, after all, Li Zhao's biggest enemy is still Li Xin, and when they and Li Xin are in a decisive battle, we still have a chance." ”

"Ministers?" Dou Jiande's eyes lit up, and finally he looked at Cui Junsu deeply, looked at Liu Heimin and said: "General, the city defense will depend on you, if you can't do it, I will personally lead the army up, what is Li Shimin, he actually colluded with the Turks and invaded my Central Plains, as long as he is a Han person, he will not allow this kind of thing to happen." I won't allow it. ”

Cui Junsu's face turned red, he lowered his head and didn't speak, but when he reacted, he found that Dou Jiande didn't know when he left the hall. He Chou looked at the apse and sighed deeply. He can see that Cui Junsu represents the meaning of the five surnames and seven families in Shandong, but Dou Jiande will not surrender to Li Shimin. It is definitely not a good thing for monarchs and ministers to be like this.

In the apse, Dou Jiande walked into the palace of the queen Cao with a robe, Dou Jiande is a very strange character, in the end, he was born as a peasant, no matter what time it is, he can't forget the simple work style. Whenever he captured a town and defeated an opponent, he distributed the goods he obtained to his soldiers, and he did not want anything for himself. I don't usually eat meat, but only vegetables and peeled corn. His wife, Cao, did not wear silk clothes, and there were only a dozen wives and maids. When he defeated Yu Wenhua and established himself as the emperor, he got thousands of palace maids, all of whom had beautiful appearances and appearances, and they were all dismissed. In the palace, there is only one adopted son named Dou Chun and one daughter named Dou Hongxian.

"Your Majesty, is there anything the ministers can do?" Cao's face was pale, and he was wearing cloth clothes, so he couldn't tell that he was the woman of Dou Jiande, the lord of Hebei, but like a farmer in the countryside.

"Cui Junsu, hehe, Cui family, I really let me see it." Dou Jiande sneered: "Ling Jing has made a good suggestion, but we have too few people, and it is very difficult to break through, especially Li Shimin, he will not let me or leave." It's basically impossible to break through. "Dou Jiande understands his situation very well, others can escape, but it is impossible for him to escape. Li Shimin wants to kill himself.

"The Kwantung family used to surrender to you, just because your soldiers were strong and strong, and now they are betraying you, but also because Li Shimin's soldiers are strong and strong, this is nothing, since you are unwilling to surrender, then forget it, we have thought about all the glory and wealth over the years, and the calculation is to die now, and there is no regret, but what I am worried about is the red line, Li Shimin wants our lives, that can be forgiven, but what about the red line?" Cao Shi showed a hint of concern. (To be continued......)
