"Qianqiu, you were just a small businessman back then, but I didn't expect to become more sophisticated now, going in and out of the mountains and forests, like walking on flat ground!" In a mountain forest in Taihang Mountain, hundreds of cavalry escorted Li Xin slowly, and Shen Qianqiu was also on Li Xin's side.

"Qianqiu can meet the prime minister, and it is already green smoke on the ancestral grave." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said: "If you can't become more robust, how can you serve the prime minister." ”

Li Xin snorted, pointed to the front and said, "Are Mr. Cen and Xianghou in front?" "This time when he entered Hedong, Li Xin asked Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin and others to enter Hedong with a large team of men and horses, and they were dispatched by Su Dingfang to implement the grass cutting plan to exterminate the Turks who were raging in Hedong, but he asked Shen Qianqiu to bring him to see Dou Hongxian, and he was preparing to take the final blow to Li Zhao.

"It should be ten miles ahead." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said.

A sharp roar sounded, and I saw a sharp arrow shot a few feet in front of Li Xin, deep into the soil, and then I saw several people break out of the dense forest, and said to Li Xin and the others: "My young lady is hunting in front, and the irrelevant people should retreat!" ”

"But Xianghou?" Shen Qianqiu saw that the men were still tied with red cloth around their necks, and immediately stepped forward and said, "The prime minister has arrived, and he has not invited Xianghou to see him." ”

"Ahh After everyone listened, they immediately glanced at Li Xin and the others, and then one of them waved to the back, and the figure in the depths of the woods flickered, disappeared without a trace, but he arched his hand and said: "Generals, wait for a while, wait for the Xianghou to come." "In the end, I don't know Li Xin, so naturally I don't dare to let Li Xin go.

"No wonder it can crisscross Hebei and give Li Shimin a headache, this kind of discipline is not bad." Li Xin saw clearly, these people not only had a bright whistle just now, but also secret agents, one bright and one dark. Ensure the safety of the spy.

After half a ring, I saw a large group of people rushing out in front of me, led by two people, a man and a woman, one dressed in purple, the other dressed in red, one with a thin appearance, with a light of wisdom shining in the depths of his eyes, and the other with a cold face, like ice. It was Cen Wenwen and Dou Hongxian. Behind them, Shu Jing, He Chou, Li Ren'an, Li Shousu, Liu Heimin, Fan Yuan and other civil and military officers appeared one after another.

"Xiaguan Cen text (Dou Hongxian, Shu Jing, He Chou, Li Ren'an, Li Shousu, Liu Heimin, Fan Yuan) met with the prime minister, and the prime minister was a thousand years old and a thousand years old." As soon as Cen Wenwen saw Li Xin in the distance, he quickly stopped his horse, jumped down, walked a few steps forward, bowed to the ground, and the rest of Dou Hongxian and the others bowed down one after another.

"Sir, please, sir goes thousands of miles. Great work. Li Xin also got off his horse, helped Cen Wenwen up, and then helped Dou Hongxian up as well, and said, "Xianghou and the generals don't have to be polite. Please up, please up. ”

"Prime Minister Xie." Everyone stood up one after another, and each secretly looked at Li Xin, and saw that Li Xin was handsome. His eyes are like stars, and he has a majesty between his hands and feet. In addition to being surprised, she felt a hint of luck, in the end, it was a legendary character, and this appearance at the moment made people feel at ease, especially Dou Hongxian, she was afraid that Li Xin would be stunned when she saw the beauty as in the legend, and now it seems that she is really a real gentleman.

"The prime minister came on a single horse, but to solve the matter of Hedong?" Cen Wenwen led Li Xin to the temporary barracks.

"Yes, Li Shimin has already gone to the Bird Mouse Valley, I'm afraid that he has already arrived in the Bird Mouse Valley at this time, he knows that we have occupied Luoyang, and the army will come to Hedong soon, if you don't launch it at this time, there will be no chance to seize Hedong in the future." Li Xin nodded and said, "The speed of this king's army is relatively slow, and this king is worried about the situation in Hedong, so he rushed to it first. ”

"Prime Minister, Li Shimin is only tens of thousands of people, are you still afraid of him?" Liu Heimin said disdainfully: "We now have an army of 70,000 people, plus Hedong's own army, that is, there are 100,000 people, how many people is Li Shimin?" Everyone goes up together, and the foam can drown him. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister, in the past, that kid had 100,000 Turks to fight together, and he wiped out our Hebei army, but now it's different, only 40,000 or 50,000 of the 100,000 Turks were consumed by him, and we have 100,000 people, and we are afraid of him?" Fan Yuan also spoke. There was disdain in the words.

"Sometimes there are many soldiers and horses, and sometimes we may not be able to win the battle, in the past, we had many soldiers and horses, and we were not defeated by Li Shimin, but now the Turks have many soldiers and horses, isn't it also the defeat of Hedong City?" Dou Hongxian's cold voice sounded, and she only heard her say: "As for how to fight, how to fight, naturally the prime minister is in charge, you just do it." After Liu Heimin and Fan Yuan heard this, they quickly didn't dare to speak.

Li Xin and Cen Wenwen looked at each other and smiled, Li Xin said with a smile: "What the two generals said is reasonable, in this battle, we will wait for work, second, we are in the dark, Li Shimin is in the light, he only has the remaining 20,000 troops in Hedong, and Luo Shixin's 10,000 reinforcements, as for the king's army, it is still behind, there is an interval of three days, he needs to capture Hedong within three days, how many soldiers and horses he has, we estimate that there are about 50,000 people." If he can't win, Li Shimin will have to stay in the Bird Mouse Valley, so he must leave 10,000 people in the Bird Mouse Valley, just in case, that is, he still has 40,000 troops. ”

Li Xin analyzed the information obtained by Shen Qianqiu and said: "In this way, we actually don't have many more troops than Li Shimin, and with the Turks, it's just equal. ”

"Prime Minister, we will fight as you say." Liu Heimin suddenly said with some impatience.

"Wait, we don't fight the Turks, we will fight Li Shimin. As for the Turks, naturally there are Su Dingfang to deal with them, although it is not easy for the 30,000 army to deal with the Turks, but it is just right, attracting Li Shimin's attention, Li Shimin will definitely appear. Li Xin said with confidence: "Let's go, let's stay here for a few days first, Qianqiu, pay attention to Li Shimin's movements, as soon as he comes out, we will attack immediately." ”

"Yes." Shen Qianqiu hurriedly responded.

Not to mention that Li Xin and others went into the mountains and forests, waiting for Li Shimin's move, and Li Shimin was indeed as Li Xin guessed. He also entered the Bird Mouse Valley, but the first thing he did when he entered the Bird Mouse Valley was to meet Qu Tutong.

After Qu Tutong fell seriously ill, although he recovered, he was old after all, and now he looks old, of course, the momentum of the soldier has not changed.

"The old general is in good health, and the people of the world are much more relieved." Li Shimin glared at Li Yuanji in the distance, but looked at Qu Tutong with a smile and said: "Yuanji is young and ignorant, and he has offended the old general, and he asks the old general to forgive him." ”

"Hehe, King Qin said with a smile. The King of Qi is in the Valley of the Birds, and the last general is a lot more relieved, and the King of Qin should not underestimate the King of Qi. Qu Tutong's voice was very loud, but the words he said made Li Shimin frown, if Li Yuanji is really so good at talking, like what Qu Tutong said, then Li Shimin will not have any displeasure, the key is what kind of character Li Yuanji is, how does Li Shimin not know, what happened under the Bird Mouse Valley is not far away? How could Li Yuanji change his temperament? Either Qu Tutong is talking nonsense, which is not good to offend Li Yuanji, or Qu Tutong has other ideas. Whatever the reason, Li Shimin thinks it's trouble.

"Old general, right now Li Xin's army is probably about to come to Hedong and participate in the decisive battle in Hedong, there is not much time left for us, I don't know if the old general has any strategy to solve this matter?" Li Shimin asked seriously.

"How many Turks are left now? Is there 50,000 people? Qu Tutong looked at Li Shimin and said: "Recently, many Turks have left the camp, where are these people?" Does King Qin know? ”

"Ahem, this, probably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will know." Li Shimin turned his gaze and said with some embarrassment. In order to eliminate these Turks, Li Zhao blocked Hedong to death, and even within a hundred miles north of the Bird Mouse Valley, not a single Turkic could appear.

After Qu Tutong heard this, he just smiled and said: "King Qin, the Turks are not stupid, not knowing now, it doesn't mean that they won't know in the future, the current Turks, don't say that the imperial court is not ready, even Li Xin is not sure of this." ”

"What does the old general think of Hedong?" Li Shimin then asked.

"If I am the King of Qin, I will not attack." Qu Tutong sighed and said: "Although Li Xin's army has not yet reached Hedong, but King Qin, do you think our strength can fight a long war with Li Xin?" At least not now, Li Xin lost tens of thousands of horses in Hedong, but his strength is very strong, so strong that we are not his opponent in a short period of time, our annexed state is still very poor, and in Hebei, although there is a lot of land, but it is all owned by the family, Hebei's foundation is very shallow, we should still focus on stabilizing Hebei now, what about Li Xin losing 50,000 or more people here? He still has soldiers and horses in Luoyang and Jiangnan, and it is only a matter of time before they are transferred, but our tens of thousands of troops are in Xingyang. ”

Li Shimin was silent for a while, he knew that what Qu Tutong said made some sense, but he had to be like this, every time he fought with Li Xin, Li Zhao mostly ended in failure, although this time he won Xingyang by sneak attack, but everyone knows what happened to Xingyang, that is, he was pitted by Li Xin once, if this continues, will Li Zhao's army dare to fight when he sees Li Xin in the future? I'm afraid I can only look at Li Xin's banner and think about running away!

"Although Li Xin is powerful, but it is not invincible, at this time, Li Xin's soldiers and horses did not come, and there are only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the city, King Qin, according to the meaning of this king, it is better for everyone to work together to destroy Su Dingfang first, I think that the Turks did not have many troops at that time, either they drove him across the river to find Li Xin in Guanzhong, or they were directly in the east of the river, and then these Turks were killed." Li Yuanji walked over at this time and said loudly. (To be continued......)
