"Li Xin's soldiers and horses have already arrived in Hedong, with as many as 60,000 troops, but they have not attacked Hedong, this is obviously abnormal, what do you think is the reason for this?" Li Yuan looked at the letter of help in front of him, his face was gloomy, and there was a trace of nervousness in the depths of his eyes, 60,000 troops were killed, if there was no problem here, no one would believe it, but Li Xin was now ready to fight to the death with himself? Li Yuan didn't know.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Li Xin is just a bluff, not a big deal, but just to force King Qin to withdraw his troops." The eldest grandson Shunde said.

The minister also thinks so, Li Xin is thinking about attacking Hedong now, his preparations have not yet been completed, the minister thinks that the other party is just to deter the old general Qu Tu, at least, there will be no problem before Li Jing's army has completely pacified Bashu. The other party is forcing the King of Qin to return to help, or forcing the King of Qin to divide his troops. Gao Shilian, who had just returned to Li Zhao, said.

"If the other party really wants to attack Hedong, how can I, Hedong, resist?" Wang Qi, the descendant of Prince Li Jiancheng, said with some dissatisfaction. Li Tang did not have many soldiers and horses, and so did Li Zhao, Li Shimin had too many troops in his hands, which made Li Jiancheng's family uneasy, and Li Yuanji's departure was also done by these people.

"Is there still soldiers and horses in the DPRK who can support Hedong?" Li Yuan thought for a while and said. At this time, he was not old and confused, and wanted Li Shimin to withdraw his troops, so everything he had done before was tantamount to doing useless work, sacrificing the lives of countless soldiers to besiege Luoyang, Li Yuan was really a little unwilling to give up like this.

"There are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in the DPRK, but. This is stationed in Jinyang. Prince Li Jiancheng said with some embarrassment.

Li Yuan was silent for a moment, his Jinyang nest only had 20,000 troops, how could he send more troops. He sighed at the moment: "Can other places draw troops?" Yanmen? Which way to turn off the kettle? ”

"Your Majesty. Both Yanmen and Huguan are very important, the Turks will invade at any time, and the same is true for Dou Jiande, the soldiers and horses in these two places cannot move, and the only one who can move is the 150,000 army under the command of King Qin, and the 50,000 army is stationed in Hongnong to resist the attack of Tongguan. The king of Qin besieged Luoyang with an army of 100,000, and the minister thought that a little more could allow the king of Qin to send 20,000 horses to Hedong. Presumably, an army of 40,000 is enough for Qu Tutong to hold Taiyuan. Pei Lin strode out, his voice was very loud, and as soon as he spoke, no one in the entire court suddenly spoke. Pei Lin is Li Yuan's favorite minister. His words basically represent Li Yuan's words. Li Yuan basically accepted what he meant. Even if Gao Shilian, Changsun Shunde and others oppose it, it is useless.

"Well, pass the decree, and the King of Qin will send 20,000 troops to Hedong to support Qu Tutong." Sure enough, after Li Xin listened to Pei Lian's words, he gave an order without hesitation. made everyone even more helpless.

"King Qin lost 20,000 people, I don't know if I can capture Luoyang, hey, Li Xin really shot. It's just that I don't know if Li Xin made this move to support Wang Shichong, or if he had other meanings. "The eldest grandson Shunde and Gao Shilian walked together. Asked with some concern.

"Li Jing's soldiers and horses will not return, Li Xin is at most just a trial, if Li Jing is a class teacher, I am afraid he will really fight." Gao Shilian sighed slightly.

As soon as the words fell, I saw an inner attendant running over with a look on the emperor's face, and he also held a letter in his hand.

"What's going on?" Pei Lin stepped forward to stop the other party and asked impatiently.

"The information from Chang'an, Li Jing pacified Bashu and is about to return to the court." When the waiter saw that it was Pei Lone, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said loudly.

"No wonder Li Xin will attack Hedong at this time, it turns out that Li Jing is about to take the class." Gao Shilian's face changed, he knew what it meant, which meant that the war between Li Tang and Li Zhao was about to begin, Li Shimin was leading the army, and it could even be said that he was dragged by Wang Shichong under Luoyang City, unable to advance or retreat, and Li Xin just took the opportunity to attack Hedong.

"It seems that King Qin has to withdraw his troops immediately." The eldest grandson Shunde did not support Li Shimin's withdrawal at first, but now he has to do so, once Li Xin attacks Hedong for two months, maybe Qu Tutong can support two months, but Li Xin will be followed by tens of thousands of troops, then Qu Tutong will not be able to support it for long. Li Shimin must withdraw his troops, and before Li Jing returns to Chang'an, it is the only way for Li Zhao to repel Li Xin.

This time, the Li Zhao court made a rare agreement and ordered Li Shimin to lead 50,000 troops back to Hedong and quickly defeat Li Xin. As for Luoyang, the siege continued.

When the news reached Luoyang, Li Shimin's face was gloomy, and it was not easy to cause today's situation, Luoyang City was almost powerless to fight back, so he could only shrink in the city, but he didn't expect Li Xin to make a move at this time, and the object of the shot was exactly what he was worried about.

"Encircling Wei to save Zhao, although we know that Li Xin is unlikely to attack Hedong, but if it is really changed from a feint attack to an actual attack, Jinyang will be shocked three times a day, and the intelligence shows that Li Jing's army has pacified Bashu, maybe it will take a few months to march, but I am not afraid of 10,000, I am afraid of what if! King Qin. Eldest Sun Wuji said with some concern.

I don't care about anything else, it's because the timing of Li Xin's attack is too coincidental, Li Shimin suffered heavy casualties for Luoyang City, and withdrew the army, then all the previous efforts were in vain, if the army was not withdrawn, Hedong might not be guaranteed, Li Shimin hated in his heart, this Li Xin was really despicable and shameless, if he hadn't stormed Luoyang, he would have withdrawn the army, after all, there were not many casualties, but now there are tens of thousands of dead and wounded, how can he simply give up, which makes Li Shimin very unwilling.

"Bring Qu Tutong's battle report." Li Shimin thought about it, it seemed that it was quite something, and let the eldest grandson Wuji take Qu Tutong's battle report, and he looked at it himself, looking at it very carefully, his brows wrinkled inadvertently, and then spread out again, and finally a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

said with a smile: "Li Xin is deceiving us, he doesn't have an army of 60,000 in Hedong at all, only 20,000, Qu Tutong was fooled, and the people in the court were also fooled." Li Shimin pointed to the information given by Qu Tutong and said: "Every morning, 10,000 people will enter the camp, and in this cycle of four days, there are as many as 60,000 people. Tut, auxiliary, look at it, then Li Xin used 10,000 people at most to go in and out of the day, circulating back and forth, it seems that there are 60,000 people, but in fact, his soldiers and horses are still the original 20,000 people. Gee! Li Xin is deceiving us. ”

"This?" Liu Wenjing and Eldest Sun Wuji glanced at each other, and finally Liu Wenjing said, "Your Highness, why did this Li Xin do this?" ”

"He's asking us to withdraw our troops. I think Li Jing's soldiers and horses have not triumphed, or rather, Li Xin is not ready to go to war with us, but because of the lack of troops, he will use the simplest and most effective method to force us to withdraw our troops from Hedong. Li Shimin's face was hideous, and he snorted coldly.

"Even so, we can guess it here, but the court may not be able to guess it!" Liu Wenjing shook her head slightly and said. Liu Wenjing knew about the things in the imperial court, whether it was true or not, the matter of Li Shimin being in charge of an army of more than 100,000 people was still something that Li Yuan was afraid of, so there was a matter of Li Yuanji's division of power.

"No matter what, we can't divide our forces." Li Shimin said without hesitation, if he didn't guess Li Xin's goal, forget it, since he knew, Li Shimin would not let his army divide his troops, Luoyang still had to attack, and only by taking Luoyang could he prove his existence.

"Luoyang has been fighting until now, and if we give up now, we will lose a lot." The eldest grandson Wuji also nodded, at this time, the withdrawal of troops was not only a huge loss, but more importantly, a huge blow to Li Shimin's prestige.

"If you don't transfer troops, my father won't agree." Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"The last general is willing to lead the army to the east of the river." Liu Wenjing suddenly arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the last general is willing to lead 30,000 troops to Hedong City, please allow the King of Qin." ”

"You." Li Shimin looked at Liu Wenjing and didn't know why Liu Wenjing wanted to lead 30,000 troops to go, even the eldest grandson Wuji was also curious.

"The army of Xiaguan was incompetent, and the 30,000 army ran away many along the way, and when they arrived at Hedong, the army with the battalion was only 5,000 people." Liu Wenjing's face was full of smiles, but it made Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji stunned when they heard this, Li Shimin's lips trembled, patting Liu Wenjing I don't know what to do, Liu Wenjing is using his future to bet on Li Shimin's victory.

"Zhaoren, if Li Xin really attacks Hedong? How's that to be? Li Shimin said with some worry.

"25,000 men and horses are enough to resist Li Xin for a long time, and then the King of Qin will lead the army back to Hedong, and it will only take five or six days from Luoyang to Hedong, and I think I can hold out until the army of King Qin comes." Liu Wenjing said with a smile, there was no worry on his face, he could do this, on the one hand, he supported Li Shimin, and secondly, because the distance from Luoyang to Hedong was not far, no matter if either side had something, the other side could support the other party in a very short time.

"In this way, thank you Zhaoren, this king will definitely take Luoyang." Li Shimin was very moved in his heart, Liu Wenjing was gambling on himself, of course, because Liu Wenjing had his own label on his head, and more importantly, he was not allowed to lose in the matter of attacking Luoyang, whether it was himself or Liu Wenjing, there was no chance to retreat.

"Auxiliary, where do you say Li Xin's goal is? Not in Hedong, forcing us to withdraw our troops, is it Hongnong? Li Shimin still asked with some hesitation.

"It should be in Hongnong, as long as the time is ripe, it will definitely launch a fatal blow to Hongnong." Eldest Sun Wuji said with certainty. (To be continued......)
