In fact, Hongnong's situation is no longer as easy as Li Shimin guessed, and what will never be lacking in this world is pig-like comrades-in-arms. Li Yuanji may be very brave in battle, and his force value can no longer be resisted by anyone in the Li family except for Li Xuanba, but the shortcomings in his character are obvious.

Li Yuanji is arrogant and lascivious, greedy and cruel, except for his martial arts, there seems to be no particularly outstanding thing, this time he took the initiative to come to Luoyang, but also to seize military merits, after coming to Hongnong, at the beginning it was extremely good, sent scouts to search for news of Li Xin's army, and practiced the soldiers under his command every day. However, three or five days later, Li Yuanji saw that Li Xin did not take any measures against Hongnong, and his mind suddenly relaxed again, so he sent people to search for beauties everywhere for venting, or hunted around, destroying the dealer, Hongnong's land, and was miserable. I thought that Li Yuanji was coming, and everyone had hope, but what they didn't expect was that a white-eyed wolf was ushered in.

"What's going on? These people? Li Daozong led his own soldiers into Hongnong City, but when he saw the army passing by, he didn't see any laughter, but these people looked at him with vigilance and hatred, and even some people looked at everyone with fierce eyes, although there was no excessive look, but it was full of murderous intentions. This made me extremely shocked in my heart, you must know that Li Zhao's army, in the land of Bingzhou, everywhere he went, not to mention the warm welcome to the arrival of Wang Shi, at least it would not be like this.

"The people's will is like this, how can they resist Li Tang's army." Fang Xuanling rode a war horse and followed behind, looking at the faces of the people around him, and sighed slightly in his heart, only Li Yuanji's evil consequences would cause this situation. He felt a slight sadness in his heart.

Li Yuanji did not live in the barracks. Instead, he lived in a luxurious manor provided for him by Hongnongfu, which was completely different from Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, if Li Jiancheng inspected the place, he would definitely live in the official mansion, Li Shimin would definitely live in the barracks, and only Li Yuanji would live in a luxury manor. The three brothers' different ways of doing things are all manifested in this regard.

Fang Xuanling and Li Daozong are not good-looking, one is a wise man in the world, and the other is a disciple of the sect, and Li Yuanji's cousin. The two came, and Li Yuanji didn't even bother to do the superficial job of greeting his cousin, and Li Daozong was very unhappy in his heart.

What made the two even more unhappy was that as soon as they entered the manor, they heard bursts of singing and dancing, Li Yuanji hugged left and right, holding wine in his hand, and food was placed in front of him. Very happy, where is the appearance before the war.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, Li Xin's army is outside, the King of Qi is so relaxed!" Fang Xuanling snorted coldly. He thought of Li Shimin's exhaustion under Luoyang City. Li Yuanji spent all day drinking here, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

"Oh! Dao Sect! Here you are, sit. Li Yuanji opened his drunken eyes and swept them over the faces of Li Daozong and Fang Xuanling. Then he pointed to a few cases on the side and said, "I have prepared a song and dance for you a long time ago, and I am waiting for you to come." ”

"Brother Qi Wang, you?" Li Daozong looked at Li Yuanji's appearance. On the contrary, I didn't know what to do, so I could only sit down with a cold hum, grab the wine in front of me and pour it down.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, on the orders of General Tiance, ordered the Duke of Luoyang County to be the head of Hongnong, His Royal Highness the King of Qi, quickly hand over the military power and return to Taiyuan!" Fang Xuanling had an evil thought, he didn't care if Li Yuanji greeted him, whether he looked down on him, but he didn't want an important place like Hongnong to be garrisoned by an unreliable person like Li Yuanji.

"Huh! Li Shimin wants to take away my military power? Li Yuanji seemed to not know Fang Xuanling, he immediately laughed, pointed at Fang Xuanling and said: "What is Li Shimin, my father named him the general of Tiance, and it doesn't matter if he is above the kings, but he is not the generalissimo who commands the soldiers and horses of the world!" This king's soldiers and horses were given by my father himself, and he has nothing to do with him, so why should he take away my military power? Fang Xuanling, you get out of here, the affairs of my Li family are also something that you, a foreign minister, can interfere in? ”

"This is not a private matter of King Qi, but a matter of the Great Zhao Dynasty." Fang Xuanling arched his hand and said: "King Qi robbed the people's daughters in Hongnong, and did all kinds of evil, and he was already told by the three elders of Hongnong to King Qin, King Qi, you are no longer suitable to be the boss of Hongnong." ”

"Presumptuous, Fang Xuanling, what are you, and you actually came to snatch the king's military power? Don't say it's you, even Li Shimin doesn't have this qualification. The king's military power is given by the emperor, and only the holy decree can be taken away, Li Shimin? Forget it! Li Yuanji looked at Li Daozong angrily and said, "Daozong, are you also here to seize my military power?" ”

Li Daozong's face was stunned, he didn't expect Li Yuanji to be so domineering, ignoring Li Shimin's order, and sitting there for a while not knowing what to do, he didn't expect Li Yuanji to be so bold that he actually refused to accept Li Shimin's order at this time. In the blink of an eye, he understood something, and his brow furrowed.

"What? Is His Royal Highness the King of Qi ready to disobey the orders of the King of Qin? Fang Xuanling snorted coldly and said. He looked at Li Yuanji and said, At this time, the singing and dancing in the hall had already receded, but the two favorite concubines beside Li Yuanji were still standing on the side, snuggling up to Li Yuanji.

"This king said that if you want to seize the power of the king's soldiers, you must get the permission of your father, and the king's soldiers and horses were handed over to the king by your father, why, Fang Xuanling, Li Shimin thinks that his power can be greater than his father's holy decree? If this is the case, this king is willing to hand over the military power to the Taoist sect. Li Yuanji said gloomily.

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Yuanji with some surprise, no matter how stupid a person is, if he enters the court, he will become an old fox, isn't this Li Yuanji like this? Fang Xuanling knew that he didn't dare to say this, once he said it, Li Shimin would fall into a passive situation.

"Brother Qi Wang, since the soldiers and horses given by the emperor cannot be moved, how about the soldiers and horses reinforced by King Qin?" Li Daozong suddenly arched his hand and said, "There is no problem with those 20,000 soldiers and horses!" If Brother Qi thinks that these 20,000 soldiers and horses can't be given, then the Dao Sect will immediately return to Taiyuan and ask the emperor to call the shots. ”

"Okay, since the Dao Sect Virtuous Brother said so, how can Yuan Ji not give face. Tomorrow, the king of tomorrow will send 20,000 horses to find you. Li Yuanji's eyes rolled and nodded and said.

"Li Jungong?" Fang Xuanling was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to ask Li Daozong, but was stopped by Li Daozong.

"Brother Wang is here, and I am camping outside the city, which can be regarded as a horn." Li Daozong stood up, arched his hand at Li Yuanji, and without waiting for the other party to agree, he walked out of the hall with Fang Xuanling.

"Hmph, what an uninteresting kid actually chose Li Shimin?" Li Yuanji looked at the back of Li Daozong's departure, his face was much gloomy, how could he not see Li Daozong's appearance just now, and he understood that he had chosen Li Shimin, which made him extremely annoyed in his heart.

"The officers and men in the army all believe in Li Shimin, and the prince's brother asked me to come to the army to compete for credit, which is the right reason." Li Yuanji thought about it for a while in his heart, and finally beckoned a subordinate, whispered a few words in his ear, and then waved his hand to let him retreat.

"General Li, the King of Qin ordered this just now, why are you?" Fang Xuanling said with some dissatisfaction: "Even if King Qi doesn't obey the order and moves out of the emperor, but we also have King Qin's general order, why do you want to retreat?" ”

Li Daozong looked at Fang Xuanling with some dissatisfaction, he didn't believe that a wise man like Fang Xuanling didn't know the truth in this, let himself step forward, it was obvious that he would let himself come out, how could Li Daozong do such a thing, and said at the moment: "Mr. Fang, the King of Qi is high, it's not something you and I can fight against, 30,000 of the 50,000 troops are given by the emperor, even if it is the King of Qin, I'm afraid it's not easy to capture!" ”

Fang Xuanling's face was stunned, he glanced at Li Daozong seriously, and finally arched his hand with a wry smile and said: "What the county prince said is very true, Fang Qiao is at fault, please forgive the county lord." ”

"Mr. Fang, as long as there are 20,000 troops in hand, no matter how powerful Li Xin is, it is impossible to conquer Hongnong, you and I just need to keep Hongnong intact, what does Mr. Fang think?" Li Daozong said with a smile. He can see that as long as he can ensure Hongnong's safety, it doesn't matter how many soldiers and horses he can get, 20,000 will be 20,000, so he will not violate Li Yuanji's core interests.

"That's all it can be." Fang Xuanling is actually very depressed in his heart, Li Shimin is very good to him, this is true, but Li Shimin is the king of Qin, not the prince, not the prince in the future, not to mention it for the time being, even now, the battle between the prince and the king of Qin has begun, Li Shimin may have the heart to seize the heir, but he does not dare to slack off in military affairs. This Li family brother is different, he sent Li Yuanji here, obviously to spy on Li Shimin and rob Li Shimin of his credit.

"If the 20,000 army can be used well, it may not be impossible to defeat Pei Xingjian, right?" Li Daozong suddenly said with a smile.

"What the county lord said is very true." Fang Xuanling was stunned at first, and finally nodded, passive defense is not his character, active offense is what he wants, and only in this way can he help Li Shimin solve more problems.

It's just that the next day, Fang Xuanling and Li Daozong were quickly defeated by the situation in front of them, there were 20,000 people in the barracks, but 20,000 were old and weak, and even Fang Xuanling and Li Daozong saw that many of the 20,000 people were not trained soldiers, or that the farmers were suitable, and the others looked like soldiers, but most of them were disabled soldiers.

"How can it, how can he do this?" Li Daozong no longer knew how to express his mood at the moment. (To be continued......)
