The Yellow River finally burst the embankment, the madman Li Yuanji after seeing the servant from Xindu, drunk very drunk, ordered the deputy general around him to dig up the Yellow River embankment, the river water poured into Onozawa, but in half an hour, Onozawa could not bear the huge pressure, the embankment burst open, the turbid river roared down along the Ohnozawa, and the Daqing River was flooded in an instant.

"Your Majesty, if it goes on like this, it will only take an hour, and the embankment of the Daqing River will not be able to bear it." On the shore, Chu Suiliang said in a low voice.

Although I have been prepared, when I saw this scene, I still sighed a little, heaven and earth are not kind? We regard all things as dogs, and now we are not the same? Li Xin sighed and said: "In order to stop us, Li Yuan also dug the embankment of the Yellow River, although the common people have withdrawn, but the countless fertile fields in this place have been destroyed this year. ”

"Your Majesty, this is Li Yuan's sake, what does it have to do with Your Majesty?" Pei Renji arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, it's dangerous here, it's better to leave here." He still looked at the river not far away with some worry, the muddy river water, there was danger, in case the embankment collapsed at this time, none of these people wanted to escape.

"Hehe, let's go!" Li Xin would not fail to cherish his life, so he turned his horse's head at the moment, galloped down, and soon disappeared into the distance.

Just in the distance, on the bank of the Yellow River, Li Shimin also stood on the embankment of the Yellow River, because the upstream breached, the water of the Yellow River downstream was obviously much smaller, Pei Longqian and others were guarding on the side, and there were not only countless soldiers around, but also many ordinary people, all of whom followed Li Shimin to the north.

Li Shimin rode his tall horse, quietly looking at the people and soldiers advancing around him, he did not have a happy look on his face, but there was a trace of regret and sadness in the depths of his eyes.

What these ordinary people see in their eyes is not a yearning for a new life, but a kind of confusion and despair, which is distrust of Da Zhao. However, this kind of distrust, whether it is Li Shimin or Li Yuan, who is far away in the northern capital of Xindu, cannot be resolved.

"Your Highness, Dongping has become a Ze country, I believe Li Xin will not pursue." Wang Qi persuaded on the side.

"Naturally, he won't pursue, whether it's attacking Dongping, or attacking us from the south of Qi County, it's just a pretense, and he doesn't even want to attack Dongping at all. He's going to withdraw his troops. It's just that before withdrawing the troops, a big gift was sent to us. He finally succeeded. Li Shimin smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness." Wang Jue really didn't know what he should say at this time, maybe Li Xin did it on purpose, just to force Li Zhao to dig up the Yellow River embankment, but then again, the initiative is in the hands of the enemy, and the enemy can come as he wants, and he can change his feint attack to an active attack at any time. Where can the huge Dongping resist the tiger and wolf army of Li Xin and Qin Qiong! By that time, Shandong did not have a single army of soldiers and horses that could defend against Li Xin's attack. was beaten by Li Xin's soldiers and horses across the Yellow River, so Li Yuan had to move the capital again.

"This war is over." Li Shimin seemed to see Wang Jue's embarrassment, and turned the topic to another side with a smile, saying: "Wait for the Yellow River." The army is led by Pei Longqian, and the king is going back to Taiyuan. ”

"Your Highness, why don't you enter the capital of letters?" Wang Qi and the others' faces changed, and they immediately asked nervously.

"The situation in Taiyuan is urgent. Fang Xuanling, Hou Junji and others had already sent a letter to the king, saying that Su Dingfang's attack was very powerful, and they were about to be unable to stop it. I want the king to go back and preside over the overall situation. Li Shimin laughed secretly in his heart. At this time, going back is simply looking for guilt. The Yellow River burst its banks, Li Yuan always had to find someone to carry the black pot, Li Yuan himself would not come out, so he could only choose between the two princes, Li Yuanji or himself, although Li Yuanji was more likely, but Li Shimin didn't want to pin his reputation on Li Yuan.

This is the same as Li Xin, in fact, whether it is Li Xin or Li Shimin, there are more or less similarities on his body. Therefore, Li Shimin simply took advantage of the war in Taiyuan to set himself aside.

Wang Jue and Cui Mingan on the side were both treacherous and cunning people, and they immediately heard the meaning of Li Shimin's words, but they had no way to stop it. Not to mention, the two knew that Da Zhao was inseparable from Li Shimin, and if it weren't for Li Shimin in this war, I am afraid that Shandong would have been occupied by Li Xin a long time ago. Moreover, the battle in Taiyuan was also very important, and if Taiyuan was lost, Li Xin could easily cross Taihang and attack Hebei.

"Two adults, if you have time, you can go to Taiyuan to talk about it. Hey, after this battle, it may be very difficult for our Da Zhao to return to Shandong, and the south of the Yellow River is not our territory. Li Shimin sighed.

"Your Highness, rest assured, in fact, we have not yet reached that step, even if Taiyuan is lost, we have a winning strategy." Wang Jue arched his hand and said: "It's just that it's a strategy that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself, and I'm afraid the imperial court will also discuss this matter in the future." ”

"Oh, the imperial court already has a countermeasure?" Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, his face changed, and he said, "You don't want to lure the Turks south!" Let them herd the horses and state them! If the matter of the Yellow River bursting its banks spreads all over the world, it will definitely be blamed by the people of the world, and if the Turks are led southward again, the people of insight in the world will oppose our Dazhao even more, and the morale of the army and the people will be lost, how can we defeat Li Xin? ”

"Your Highness, since ancient times, history books have been written by victors, and we will not take the initiative to lead the Turks to attack Taiyuan. And with His Highness here, how could the Turks go south? Cui Min said with a dry smile: "Li Xin and the Turks are feuding, now Jieli Khan has withdrawn from the west, this time they attacked the Western Turks, obtained a lot of war horses and population, and their strength has increased greatly, no need for us to say anything, the next direction of Jieli Khan's attack must be Li Xin." ”

"Well, let's go!" Li Shimin did not continue to talk, he did not like the Turks, but if the Turks took the initiative to attack Li Xin, Li Shimin would not say anything.

"Yes." Wang Jue, Cui Mingan and others also escorted Li Shimin on the big boat, the big boat moved slowly, only Li Shimin stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the Yellow River embankment in the distance, what was Li Shimin's mood, maybe he didn't know it himself, but he knew one thing, unless Li Xin was defeated, otherwise, Shandong would definitely be the last target he had captured, and the people here would definitely not believe in Da Zhao. Li Shimin, who claims to help the world and the people, is also hesitant at the moment.

Contrary to Li Shimin is Li Xin, his withdrawal is not only because of the Yellow River bursting the embankment, but also because the army has been fighting for many years, this time the campaign is as long as a year, Zhenguan set off in the first year, and now it is April of the second year of Zhenguan, a year of fighting, the soldiers are extremely tired, just to take the opportunity to recuperate, and they can also return to Chang'an, which has been absent for a long time, to deal with the government.

Don't look at the Wude Hall to deal with political affairs, and the Wuying Hall to deal with military affairs, but there are some things that these courtiers can not handle, and the courtiers themselves will have different views on things or different interests, so there will be small groups of one kind or another, and this party and that party will be formed. It is possible for each other to fight each other and consume each other's national strength, and these things need to be handled by Li Xin.

"It's been a year since the eldest grandson Wuji revised the law, hasn't it been revised yet?" Li Xin took an extremely spacious carriage, and this time he returned to Chang'an with the guards, which not only had a place to deal with state affairs, but even a place to rest. At this time, Chu Suiliang was sitting opposite.

"This, Your Majesty, revising the law itself is a long-term and difficult matter, and although the auxiliary machine is capable of doing things, it is a huge project that cannot be completed in a day." Chu Suiliang explained: "If you want to revise a complete law and set an example for future generations as a basis for doing things, the minister thinks it is better to take it slowly. ”

"I never thought that once I repaired the law, it would become the ancestral system, and these laws were also revised for a long time, and all dynasties and dynasties would follow and supplement them to make him more perfect, but what I don't understand is why such a case would be played? When was this, what happened on the night of Shangyuan, two women fell into the river and died, drank too much, and couldn't tell the direction, so they fell into the river and died, and the two men on the accompanying boat reported the case, and some people on the shore found that one of the two men was naked, tsk, Shangyuan Night was still very cold! Isn't he cold with his upper body tied naked on the boat? Li Xin took out a copy of the many pieces and threw it in front of Chu Suiliang.

"Your Majesty, this is the official and the servant of Chang'an, there are no injuries on the two women's bodies, and there is no trace of being violated, it is true that they drank too much, even the boatmen on the ship said so." Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly.

"What is the identity of those two women, and what is the identity of the two men, although the women can't help but play on the street on the night of Shangyuan, but the two women are drinking with the two men on the boat? And what is their relationship? Have you found all of this? Why isn't it? Li Xin's face was gloomy, and he pointed to the chapter and said: "Look at Du Ruhui's instructions, even Du Ruhui knows that there is a problem here, why hasn't anyone checked it?" Is this how a case ended? ”

"Your Majesty, now that we are here, we don't know what happened on the first night of Chang'an City, and I think we should wait until we return to Chang'an and then do a detailed investigation." Chu Suiliang smiled bitterly.

"Now that the bones are cold, if you want to investigate, I'm afraid it's difficult!" Li Xin smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty wants to investigate, and it will definitely be able to investigate. There are a lot of suspicious points in it, and I think I can check it. Chu Suiliang hurriedly said.

"Then check, I will let the Jinyi Guard cooperate with you." Li Xin said to Chu Suiliang.

"Yes." Chu Sui smiled bitterly in his conscience, and the fact that the case was sent to Li Xin showed that there was probably some mystery behind it. I took on a tricky errand. (To be continued.) )
