Where is Li Shimin now? I'm afraid no one will know that Boling, this small city, is famous because of a huge family, that is the Cui family, among the gate valves of the Kanto family, the Boling Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven wangs, is famous because of Boling. Li Shimin is in this place in Boling.

"Gu'an Gong, this time the people of Hebei have to thank Gu'an Gong for taking care of it, otherwise, I really don't know if I can support it until now." Li Shimin was dressed in a brocade robe, with a heroic appearance, looking forward to the extraordinary, beside him was an old man, with a flying silver beard, it was the former Sui Dynasty Yu Department squire, Gu'an County Gong Cui Shuzhong, he is now the head of the Boling Cui family.

"Hehe, His Royal Highness King Qin is a dragon among people, even without our support, Dou Jiande is definitely not His Highness's opponent." Uncle Cui smiled heavily and said, "I don't know where His Royal Highness King Qin is going to go next?" ”

"Where else can I go, now Dou Jiande is going to leave this king in the land of Hebei!" Although Li Shimin's words were like this, he did not put Dou Jiande in his eyes in his voice. If it was before, he might still think highly of Dou Jiande, but now he doesn't, Dou Jiande treats his soldiers too well, although it is very high, but the military discipline is not strict, and he is not Li Shimin's opponent.

Uncle Cui nodded after hearing it again, and said: "Dou Jiande doesn't need people, he is just a farmer, if he goes home to farm, maybe it's okay, if he leads the army to fight, it will be much worse, let alone governing the country, look at his world, how many people have defected to him and helped him." ”

Li Shimin nodded, but he was disdainful in his heart, in Hebei, in Shandong, the biggest thing is not Dou Jiande, nor those people like Xu Yuanlang and Meng Haigong in Shandong, but the five surnames and seven wangs, and the real five surnames and seven wangs secretly affect the entire Shandong and Hebei. The government is also to listen to these people's orders.

The reason why Dou Jiande is proud of Hebei is the support of these families, of course, that was before, not now, now that Li Shimin is here, the blood of the Li family in Longxi is noble, far above these families, so the major families in the five surnames and seven hopes began to contact Li Shimin. secretly supported Li Shimin, not only providing them with information and intelligence. also provided him with money, grain and grass, which was the most important reason why Li Shimin was undefeated in Hebei and Shandong.

"Although we lost part of our troops in Luoyang this time, this king believes that my father will definitely focus his energy on Hebei, in fact, only by occupying Hebei, we will have more strategic space, compared to Guanzhong, Hebei is richer and has enough population. As long as we occupy Hebei and Shandong, we will be equivalent to seizing half of the world. Li Shimin said with a smile: "This world is still the world of the family." ”

"As King Qin said, Li Xin looks very powerful, but it is just a strong Qin force. He may have some ability in a short period of time, but he has already died within himself. The family members of Guanzhong will also be dissatisfied with him. Uncle Cui nodded again, but there was a surge of complexity in his heart.

He knew Li Xin's identity, and even sent someone to contact him. Aren't Cui Yuan and Cui Xiu Qinghe Cui's? is also a representative of the Kanto family, and it can even be said that the Gao family can survive in Shouyang, isn't it also the power of the Kanto family? It's a pity. After Li Xin became an adult, he began to be dissatisfied with the Kanto family, which made the Kanto family extremely angry, and after having no choice, he could only choose Dou Jiande, who could not be on the stage, until later, Li Zhao failed to attack Guanzhong, and the Kanto family had a new choice.

Although they themselves are not able to look down on the Li family with Xianbei blood in Longxi, but it is better than the grassroots like Dou Jiande, after Li Shimin escaped from Liyang, he did not hesitate to order someone to meet Li Shimin, all the way to conquer the city, not only consumed Dou Jiande's troops, but also made Dou Jiande tired, on the contrary, Li Shimin recruited soldiers and horses all the way, and now the soldiers and horses have increased to more than 80,000 people, and there are many generals under his command, most of them are generals under Wang Shichong, the so-called Luoyang battle, Li Shimin was not defeated very thoroughly, Wang Shichong fell miserably, but Li Shimin received a lot of generals. This allows him to quickly recover his strength after getting the soldiers, and the soldiers have been killed all the way and become elite soldiers.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the emperor's holy decree is here."

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was flustered, and he said loudly: "Please also ask King Qin to return to the camp quickly to receive the order." ”

Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, arched his hand to Uncle Cui, and said: "Gu'an Gong, Shimin will go back to the camp first, and when Gu'an Gong has free time, Shimin will come to the door in person to ask for a meeting." ”

"King Qin, please." Uncle Cui smiled heavily and sent Li Shimin out in person.

"Farewell." Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji did not dare to slack off, and after saluting, they got on their horses and galloped towards the camp outside the city.

"Go, check. Did something happen to Li Zhao, the old man looked at the eldest grandson Wuji with a panicked expression, I am afraid that something big has happened to Li Zhao. Cui Shuzhong said to the middle-aged man next to him, his name is Cui Mingan, the word is Zhen, and he is Cui Shuzhong's son.

"Yes, father." Cui Mingan is also very curious, the eldest grandson Wuji is so nervous, presumably something big must have happened to Li Zhao, and the Cui family also has a source, I believe that they will soon understand what happened.

On the way, Li Shimin said a little nervously: "Auxiliary, what's going on?" ”

"Li Xin conquered Hedong." Eldest Sun Wuji took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid that at this time, the troops have already entered Huoyi." Eldest Sun Wuji gently highlighted such a shocking news.

"How could Hedong be lost? How can Hedong be lost? Li Shimin's originally nervous face became deeper, Hedong is the frontier position, with Hedong, Li Zhao can have active space, losing Hedong, the danger faced by Li Zhao makes Li Shimin terrible to think about, and unconsciously Li Shimin's voice has changed.

"Li Xin did something in those 50,000 captives, and the night before Chinese New Year's Eve, taking advantage of the sudden attack of heavy snow, the inside and the outside should be united, and Hedong City fell in this way, and the two generals Qu Tutong and Liu Wenjing packed up more than 10,000 remnants of the army and retreated to Huoyi." The eldest grandson Wuji explained.

Li Shimin gasped, such a method, don't say it's Qu Tutong, even he Li Shimin may not be able to detect it, let him go to guard Hedong, he can't escape the end of the city.

"What does Father think?" Li Shimin hurriedly said.

"Order us to withdraw our troops immediately, from Huguan Rujun, to assist the prince to defend the Bird Mouse Valley, and be sure to block Li Xin from the Bird Mouse Valley." Eldest Sun Wuji hurriedly said.

"Li Xin knows our situation in Hebei, so he hurriedly launched an attack on Hedong, and what he wants is for us to return to the army and merge with the state." Li Shimin suddenly stopped his war horse and said, "He wants to trap us in Jinyang and prevent us from occupying Hebei." ”

"Your Highness is saying that Li Xin's attack on Hedong is just a pretense?" Eldest Sun Wuji asked in surprise.

"On the one hand, Hedong is only separated from Chang'an by the Yellow River, and Hedong's iron cavalry will attack Chang'an at any time, so he attaches so much importance to Hedong, attacks Hedong at the most critical time, and seizes the strategic place of Hedong, and second, let us withdraw our troops." Li Shimin snorted coldly. His face is not good-looking, he has already annihilated Dou Jiande in the movement in Hebei, as long as it takes a long time, he can definitely give Dou Jiande a heavy blow, plus Li Xiuning in Huguan, but a year will definitely be able to destroy Dou Jiande, so that Li Zhao occupies Hebei, and now that Li Xin is so messed up, I am afraid it will take a long time to capture Hebei.

"But that's the case, we have to withdraw our troops!" The eldest grandson Wuji said with a slight sigh.

"No, if we withdraw now, everything we have done in front of us will be in vain." Li Shimin looked around, there was a roadside wine shop, jumped off the horse, beckoned Xiao Er to serve a pot of wine and spirits, Li Shimin didn't care about the wine, opened his mouth and drank it, the spicy breath not only expelled the cold on his body, but also dispelled a little boredom in his heart.

"But where is the emperor?" The eldest grandson Wuji was still a little worried and said: "What's more, if Li Xin really attacks Huoyi, what should it do?" At present, although the prince is defending in the Bird Mouse Valley and building passes, how many soldiers and horses does the prince have? Together with Qu Tutong, less than 40,000 people, Li Xin is scheming, and there are countless elite soldiers in his hands, if he really attacks, I am afraid that the prince will not be able to resist it. You must know that Song Jingang's remnants are on the grassland and will attack Jinyang at any time. ”

Li Shimin's face suddenly showed a hint of complexity when he heard this, what the eldest grandson Wuji said was very reasonable, if Li Xin really had the heart to attack the Bird Mouse Valley, Li Jiancheng's soldiers and horses might not be able to defend it, and if he lost the Bird Mouse Valley, even if he occupied Hebei, what would he do? Do you really want to give up Hebei?

"Hey, if you don't give up Hebei? Your Majesty? "The eldest grandson Wuji also felt sorry, now in Hebei, tens of thousands of troops are in the hands of Li Shimin, enough to get hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as the time is enough, Li Shimin can definitely capture the entire Hebei, but unfortunately, will Li Yuan give Li Shimin this time?

"Who knows the news of the Divine Decree?" Li Shimin suddenly asked.

The eldest grandson Wuji's face was stunned when he heard this, and his face quickly changed, and he said in a low voice: "In order to prevent the news of the loss of Hedong from reaching the army, the imperial court came from cloth. ”

"We immediately set off to Le Shou, and then secretly ordered someone to see Sanniang, let her return to the army Huguan, attack on both sides, and attack Dou Jiande, at this time there is only a forced attack on Dou Jiande." Li Shimin's face was gloomy, but the eldest grandson Wuji was pale, Li Shimin was resisting the decree, and he also wanted to kill the servant who passed the decree.

"Yes, I will immediately send a message from Perak Hall to Her Royal Highness the Princess." The eldest grandson Wuji did not object, and he could not object, at this time, the return of the army would be equivalent to giving up everything in front of him, Li Shimin was unwilling, and the eldest grandson Wuji was unwilling.
