There are many plains in Hebei, but there are many valleys near Taihang. Mangrove Valley is a very ordinary valley, because in autumn, from a distance, a bright red and named, in the middle of the valley is a narrow official road, this is a small road to the state of Pingjiao. If Xu Shiji was on weekdays, he would never take this path. But now it's different, the five thousand elites just killed the Turks, and took the official road, that is, a march with great fanfare, and the Turks could find a random person to ask, maybe they could know the whereabouts and appearance of their own people, so he walked the Mangrove Valley, ready to go into the mountains to hide, and wait until the situation calmed down, and then came out. According to Li Yuan and Li Shimin's plan, once these Turks knew that their logistics base had been breached, they would definitely be furious, and according to the evidence left at the scene, they would all point to Li Xin, and the big battle between the Turks and Li Xin would definitely happen, and at that time, it would be time for them to return to the battlefield.

Xu Shiji was riding on a war horse, wearing white bright light armor, his face was much gloomy, and he didn't see the cheerful and elegant general of the past, what would happen after Shen Ruyan fell into Li Xin, he could vaguely guess that it was precisely because of this that he would become like this.

"Li Xin, this time, I want your tens of thousands of troops to be buried in Hedong." Xu Shiji thought of the appearance of nearly 100,000 Turkic troops besieging Hedong not long after, and Xu Shiji felt particularly excited. Suddenly, as if he noticed something, his complexion changed, and he couldn't help but glance around, only to find that cold light flickered faintly around him.

"Not good." Xu Shiji turned the horse's head violently and said loudly: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly." As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed outside from the side.

I have to say that Xu Shiji still has some ability, at least he is very talented in escaping, he can feel the danger around him, on the one hand, when the atmosphere around him is weird. Run away without thinking about it. It was precisely because of his talent that he was saved.

Before the other soldiers could react, they saw shouts of killing from both sides, and countless figures killed from both sides of the mountain road, Xu Shiji's army had been fighting all night, plus the weight on their bodies, where was there still much strength, what these soldiers wanted to do most was to quickly find a place to rest, where would they have thought that they would be ambushed by Dou Hongxian in this place. Physical exhaustion and mental fear plunged these five thousand elites into chaos all at once.

"It's just a rabble, they all say that Li Zhao's army is all elite, and now it's just that." Li Hao shook his head with some disdain.

"This is not the Xuanjia Army." Dou Hongxian sat in red, riding on a horse, looking at the battle under the mountain, his face was calm, indescribably cold, and there was no joy in it. said: "The enemy has been fighting all night, and this time is physically and mentally exhausted, which gives us an opportunity to take advantage of, otherwise." I'm afraid it's not so easy to eliminate Xu Shiji, look at it, Xu Shiji was the first to find out that something was wrong and fled. Hehe, if you run away, you will run away, if I want to teach him a lesson. Li Yuan set up such a big situation, that is, to seize the gold and silver treasures looted by the Turks, but unfortunately, these things have become the property of my Red Turban Army. ”

"What is the general going to do with these gold and silver treasures?" Li Hao's eyes rolled, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Naturally, it was returned to the people of Hebei." Dou Hongxian said without thinking.

"I think it's not appropriate, the general will return the gold, silver and jewelry to the people of Hebei at this time, and it will still fall into the hands of Li Zhao in the end, they are exploited in Hebei, and the people are miserable, even if the general gives them back the gold, silver and jewelry, it is a pity that they don't need it, and they can't see the real benefits." Li Hao arched his hand and said: "The matter of Hebei is not the time of day, nor is it a problem of the division of princes, nor is it a problem of the family, but the problem of Li Zhao, as long as Li Zhao continues to rule Hebei one day in Hebei, the people of Hebei will not be able to live a good life, only wait for the prime minister to come and recover Hebei, the prime minister loves the people like a son, he will definitely help the people of Hebei to live the life they want to live." ”

"You mean to give these gold and silver jewels to Li Xin?" Dou Hongxian said with some disdain: "Li Xin is not bad, but what I want to restore is the Dou family's country, why bother to tie Li Xin again?" ”

"This?" Li Hao suddenly didn't know anything, Dou Hongxian didn't want to take refuge in Li Xin at all, but he couldn't give Dou Hongxian any guarantee, how could he persuade Dou Hongxian.

The battle on the mountain road ended quickly, the five thousand elites under the attack of the double enemy, plus their own reasons, basically had no power to fight back, the mountain road was full of corpses, blood has been covered with the entire mountain road, those gold, silver jewelry, silk and silk have been stained with blood, messy scattered aside, it looks very ironic.

"It's a pity that I ran away with Xu Shiji." Li Hao said with a slight sigh.

"If I don't kill him, Li Zhao will kill him too." Dou Hongxian didn't care about the order to plan the battlefield, clean up the mess on the battlefield, and wait until an hour later, Xu Shiji led a few personal soldiers to come, looking at the mess on both sides of the mountain road, Xu Shiji's whole person was uncomfortable, but this kind of thing could not be publicized, so he could only secretly report to Li Shimin, which showed the discomfort in Xu Shiji's heart.

"Damn Dou Hongxian, Lao Tzu is dealing with Li Xin, what are you going to do?" Xu Shiji thought of the red clothes, his face was gloomy, and he secretly made up his mind that he must find a way to destroy the Dou red line.

In the distance, Chang'an City is to resume a day of busyness, the city gate is opened, business travelers from all over the world have entered the city, this is the most prosperous city in the world, because of Li Xin's light and meager endowment, encourage commercial development, only then has Chang'an City today's appearance.

Chengnan Wei Mansion was busy early in the morning, because today the prime minister and hundreds of civil and military officials will come to Wei Mansion, which is a big event, the third master Wei Yuanzhao began to order the entire Wei Mansion to be busy early in the morning, and Wei Kuangbo personally came to invite the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

"Patriarch." In the ancestral hall of the Wei Mansion, Wei Yuancheng stood with his back to the door, behind him, Wei Nizi knelt on the ground, originally as a woman of the Wei family, she was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall, and she didn't know how much merit she had to make if she wanted to enter the ancestral hall of the Wei family, such as Wei Fuer, who was the crown princess back then, and now the nominal queen mother, but she has such power. It's just that Venizi didn't look happy at this time.

"I saw that you and Wang Xuanying haven't gone out to meet friends in the past few days?" Wei Yuancheng asked in a low voice, there was no joy or anger in his voice, but it made Wei Nizi tremble.

"You are also a noble girl, beautiful appearance, and a beauty in Chang'an City, if such a woman is born in the family of ordinary people, it is a sin, today, which woman has such a blessing as you, it is precisely because of living in my Wei family that it has become the object of admiration of ten thousand people, go out, don't worry about flying into trouble, you have lived a life of fine clothes and food since you were a child, these are not your credits, but my Wei family gave you, Nizi, what do you think?" Wei Yuancheng grabbed his body, looked at Wei Nizi and said.

"Yes." Venizi's body trembled, but he had to admit it.

"When the prime minister was still white, his martial arts shocked the world, he went to Li Yuan's mansion to ask for marriage, and wanted to marry Li Sanniang, Li Sanniang himself was also interested in the prime minister, but in the end he still married Chai Shao first, do you know why?" Wei Yuancheng said lightly: "This is the interest of the family, Li Yuan rebelled and needed to get the money of the Chai family, so it could only be a marriage." ”

"But we and the Wang family?" Venizi was still a little reluctant.

"The prime minister's soldiers and horses have left Tongguan and headed towards Hongnong." Wei Yuancheng said lightly: "As soon as tonight passes, General Li Jing will come to Luoyang City, Wang Shichong is really naïve, how can he allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch, the prime minister's words are very reasonable." Let you and Wang Xuanying come to Chang'an as protons, and you are also here for the Wei family, let me tell you at this time, also because I pity you. ”

Wei Nizi's face was pale, he didn't expect that there was such a situation behind the matter, and the funny thing was that the Wang family really thought that being a minister could avoid the disaster of destroying the country.

"Patriarch, my Wei family is a famous family, and in the court, the patriarch is a scholar of the Wude Palace, why do you need this?" Venizi asked a little unwillingly.

"Because of this, I want to ensure that the Wei family will prosper forever." Wei Yuancheng said in a low voice: "The way to survive in a family is to rely on the emperor, but it is not an emperor, you also know that there is only a thousand-year-old family, not a thousand-year-old dynasty." Although I am a scholar of Wude Palace, my Wei family still needs a queen, at least a prince, do you understand? Only when the crown prince inherits the throne can the Wei family hope to continue to prosper. ”

"Isn't there Sister Fu'er?" Wei Nizi immediately understood why he went to the Manifestation Temple that day, and why Li Xin happened to appear there, these were Wei Yuancheng's arrangements. There was a sudden sadness in my heart, and I couldn't help but say loudly.

"Fu'er's identity can be the imperial concubine, but Chenghuan's identity can't be the prince." Wei Yuancheng said without thinking about it: "Besides, if there is one more person in the palace, we will have more certainty." Nizi, although the prime minister didn't say it explicitly, I know that he has taken a fancy to you. Only if you enter the palace, the son born will have the opportunity to become the prince, rest assured, there is the support of our Wei family outside, and the position of the prince is also a matter of hand-to-hand capture, the prince ascends the throne, you are the queen mother, it is better than the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, living a precarious life, you say, if Li Xin asks you to go to bed now, do you dare not go? Since she is a woman, she must become a strong woman, and Li Xin is this strong man. Nizi, this is not only for the Wei family, but also for yourself. Think about it here! In the evening, you can rest in Tianxiang Building! Remember, clean up nicely, uncle, this is also for your own good. Wei Yuancheng sighed, and walked out of the ancestral hall with his hands behind his back, but there was a soft cry from Wei Nizi behind him. (To be continued......)
