Pujindu near Chang'an, the ice and snow are beginning to melt.

On the pontoon bridge, the Tang sergeants braved the cold wind to advance.

The sound of horses' hooves stepped over, Li Zhiwan was dressed in a fox fur, and stood under the Pujin Pass on the north bank of the pontoon bridge.

Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, was smiling outside the city, waiting for Li Zhiwan and his party.

"See the crown prince, the prince Chitose!"

Li Jiancheng helped Li Zhiwan up and said with a smile: "Do you and my brother and sister still need to be polite?" Let's talk about it in town! ”

Li Zhiwan said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the military situation is like fire, and there is no delay at all, and I have to go to Heyang to lead the troops north." ”

Li Jiancheng nodded when he heard this, and said: "You, you, you are still that temperament, in a hurry, I won't keep you." It's just that I heard that my father asked you to transfer some of the soldiers and horses of King Qin to the north, what do you think? ”

Li Zhiwan said in a deep voice: "I acted on the orders of my father, and the tiger talisman is also in my hand, I think the second brother will not disagree." ”

Li Jiancheng heard Li Zhiwan call himself the crown prince, but called Li Shimin the second brother, and he was a little unhappy at the moment and said: "The king of Qin is now besieging Luoyang, and I don't think he will necessarily allocate soldiers and horses to you." ”

"What does the prince want to say?" Li Zhiwan asked rhetorically.

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and said: "Recently, there have been rumors in Chang'an that the King of Qin is self-reliant in Luoyang. ”

Li Zhiwan stopped her hand and said: "Prince, this matter is already clear, Dali Temple found out that this matter was deliberately spread by Zhao Guo's secret spies in Chang'an, in order to make my father suspicious of the second brother. And some of the imperial histories are just anecdotes, without any evidence. Motoyoshi is also yes, there is something out of nothing over there. ”

Li Jiancheng looked slightly cold and said: "Is it a fact, there is Dali Temple investigating." This matter is also up for debate, but in case King Qin really has such a thing. We also have to plan ahead. ”

"Prince, do you really want to be so suspicious of King Qin?"

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth and said, "Give you the tiger talisman." If you want to transfer troops, does it mean to be lonely? Your father told you to do this, I'm just reminding you. Qiu Xinggong, Qiu Shili is your old department, if you open your mouth, King Qin will not let go. ”

Li Zhiwan was slightly angry, glanced at Li Jiancheng and said, "Prince, my military order is in my body, and there is nothing else." I took my leave. ”

Li Jiancheng knew that his sister would eat soft or hard, so he said it warmly. Li Zhiwan didn't appreciate it.

After that, Li Zhiwan led the army eastward, and along the way, Li Zhiwan was thinking about whether it was Zhao Guo's counter-plot or her second brother, who really had the heart to stand on her own. If Li Zhiwan had never believed that Li Shimin would be like this in the past, but now a few years later.

Li Zhiwan and Li Shimin met less and less, but seeing that he was followed by a large group of advisers and generals every time he went in and out, he really wanted to say a few words. It's also hard. But even he thinks so, let alone his father Li Yuan and brother Li Jiancheng.

The position of power devours people's hearts, and in recent years, it has been more than two brothers. Everyone has changed.

A few days later, Li Zhiwan led the army to Heyang, and Liu Dewei, the head of the Luzhou Road March, led the army to meet early.

Liu Dewei was originally the Sima of the Qi Palace. In the Battle of Taiyuan, he was defeated by Li Chongjiu. Later, he switched to the account of King Qin, and then he was re-entrusted with the important task. This time, as the head of the Tang Army's Luzhou Road march, he captured Huaizhou and laid a solid foundation for the capture of Heyang.

Li Zhiwan immediately led the army to be stationed in Heyang and waited for Li Shimin to send an army, but received a letter from Li Shimin, asking her to cross the river to the Tang army camp to deliver.

After Li Zhiwan saw the letter, she immediately left a large army to garrison the north bank, and led dozens of horsemen to cross the Yellow River from Heyang to the Tang army camp north of Luoyang to meet Li Shimin.

In the military tent of the big camp, Li Shimin was wearing heavy armor, and his face was tired, which showed the tragedy of the attack on Luoyang, but after seeing Li Zhiwan, he laughed happily, put down the military affairs at hand, and came to greet him.

Li Zhiwan saw Li Shimin like this, and immediately said: "If the second brother is busy with military affairs, he can directly hand over here, and I will return to Heyang immediately." ”

Li Shimin smiled: "Third sister, you and I haven't seen each other for so long, do you want to leave when you see me in such a hurry?" I don't even have the skills to speak. ”

Li Zhi said politely: "Coincidentally, a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said the same thing to me. ”

Hearing the four words of His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Shimin's face sank, and he spoke: "What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say. ”

Li Zhiwan shook her head: "The prince didn't say anything, second brother, with the more than 20 years of our two brothers and sisters, I only ask you one word, you have to answer me truthfully." ”

Li Shimin heard Li Zhiwan say so solemnly, and said: "If you were someone else, I would never answer, but the third sister, you are an exception, and I, Li Shimin, will answer you truthfully." ”

Li Zhiwan nodded and said, "Second brother, do you really have the heart to stand on your own feet after capturing Luoyang?" ”

"Nope!" Li Shimin didn't want to reply categorically, "Absolutely not, not now, not in the future, I haven't thought about it for a moment." ”

Li Zhiwan was overjoyed when she heard this: "Second brother, I believe you." ”

Li Shimin nodded, looked at Li Zhi and said, "It doesn't matter if the world scolds me for not believing me, but you and I grew up together since childhood, third sister, you can't disbelieve me." ”

Li Zhiwan lowered her head and said with a look of guilt: "Second brother, I'm sorry. I doubted you. ”

Li Shimin said: "Forget it, third sister, you came this time to transfer troops on the orders of your father!" ”

"Yes, my father asked me to transfer Qiu Xinggong, Qiu Shili's 8,000 men and horses, to Hanoi to deploy defenses!"

Li Shimin said: "The war is now under the city of Luoyang, why send troops to Hanoi?" ”

"Hearing that the Zhao army was about to go south, the courtiers said that they would guard against the Zhao army from crossing Hanoi, all the way west to the east of the river, and then crossing the Yellow River to attack Guanzhong." Li Zhiwan replied.

"This nonsense!" Li Shimin said, "If Li Chongjiu sends troops, there is only one way, that is, to cross the river from Liyang and take the Tiger Prison Pass to aid Luoyang, and there will never be a second way." ”

"But the safety of Chang'an is also very important." Li Zhi said politely.

Li Shimin said: "As long as Luoyang is captured, even if it doesn't matter if you lose Chang'an, besides, Li Chongjiu will not risk attacking Chang'an at all, this qiē is just a villain in the court, and he doesn't want to see my great achievements, but he is elbowing here and pulling my hind legs." ”

Li Zhiwan thought of what Li Jiancheng said to herself in Pujin, sighed and said: "But this is the holy decree of my father, second brother, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

"Third sister, I will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, I am the commander of the attack on Luoyang, and I have the right to mobilize troops and horses."

Li Zhiwan shook her head and said, "No, second brother, you make me scared like this, the prince is also worried, and my father in Chang'an will be even more uneasy." You don't want me to be caught in the middle. ”

Li Shimin turned around and said: "Really, you came this time to serve the crown prince, the meaning of your father, for you, their words are words, the words of the second brother, aren't they?" ”

Li Zhi said politely: "Second brother, don't force me. ”

Li Shimin said softly: "Third sister, believe your second brother once, I will give my father an explanation after taking Luoyang." ”

Li Zhiwan looked at Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, I heard about something related to you before, do you want to hear it?" ”

Li Shimin did not speak.

Li Zhi said politely: "After the Battle of Taiyuan, Guo Ziwu, the assassin of Luzhou, visited me in front of today, saying that I intended to let Li Chongjiu return to the north, but I refused to fight with him with all my might. But I'm very strange, Guo Ziwu lost Luzhou, he was a guilty body, why did he dare to participate in me so much, thankless. ”

"Later, my father dismissed Guo Ziwu and dismissed him as a civilian, and my father also cut my military power, and let the governor of Jiangzhou be the emperor's uncle, but in the end, this matter is not beneficial to anyone, but then I heard that in fact, Guo Ziwu was instructed to join me in front of my father, and it was you, the second brother, who didn't want me to control the military power!"

When Li Shimin heard Li Zhiwan say this, his body shook slightly, but he didn't speak.

Li Zhiwan smiled bitterly: "Second brother, why don't you speak, you sued me about this matter is false, right?" ”

Li Shimin was indifferent for a while, and then he spoke: "No, this matter is true. ”

"Why?"

"Third sister, let me ask you, if I compete with the crown prince for the throne in the future? Who will you help? ”

Li Zhiwan was stunned for a moment, but saw Li Shimin's eyes looking at her like a sword.

Li Shimin said: "Third sister, I know you too well, although you have been closer to me since you were a child, but in the future, when I compete with the prince for the throne, you will definitely help the prince, but not me, right!" (To be continued......)
