Hangu Pass, in Li Shimin's study.

Li Jing came to Li Shimin's side with a plate of food, looked at Li Shimin with a haggard face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, today's blow is absolutely not for Li Shimin, the officers and soldiers in the army, many people have begun to reject Li Shimin, Li Shimin has worked hard for many years, and the good reputation he has managed has not been much.

"Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a day, let's eat some first." Li Jing put the food on Li Shimin's table, looked at Li Shimin, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.

"Hehe" Li Shimin suddenly laughed miserably, looked at Li Jing, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Pharmacist, do you know? I didn't think much of Lu Bu all along, and even if he cut off my arm, I always thought that he was just a reckless man who only knew how to fight. ”

Li Jing was silent, not only Li Shimin, but also Li Jing, who also thought so, otherwise, he could have gone to Lu Bu who was close to him, why did he travel thousands of miles to come to Guanzhong to join Li Shimin?

In fact, in the eyes of many people, Lu Bu may be proficient in battle formations, duels before the battle, and has never been defeated, but just like this, he is just a reckless man, which is also the reason why Shen Luoyan recommended him at the beginning, but Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and others still voted for Wang Shichong first, and then voted for Li Shimin, and they never thought about taking refuge in Lu Bu.

"All along, I have been using Cihang Jingzhai's influence to scandalize him and make him unable to gain a foothold in the north, but unfortunately, since Fan Qinghui's death, Cihang Jingzhai's influence has dropped greatly, and I can't spread these rumors to the south, at that time, I just thought he was lucky." Li Shiming's eyes were still full of bloodshots.

"However, all the things I did to him before can't compare to the sentence he is in the gate today" Li Shimin laughed miserably: "The 30,000 army is nothing to the current Li Valve, but the death of General Qu Tu has too much impact on the Li Valve, plus Lu Bu's sentence, this sentence is comparable to countless rumors, it is conceivable that after this time, no matter whether I can capture Luoyang or not, there is no hope of inheriting the unification in the future."

At this time, Li Shimin was extremely decadent, which made Li Jing's heart ache, it seemed that after Luoyang broke his arm, Li Shimin's good luck came to an end, and every time he met Lu Bu, it was Li Shimin's most unlucky time.

"Pharmacist, do you believe me?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

"Why did Your Highness say this? Li Jing is broken bones, and it is difficult to repay His Highness's kindness" Li Jing showed a look of panic on his face, and hurriedly knelt down and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, there is one thing, but I need to ask you, you return to Guanzhong immediately and secretly convene and deploy ......" Li Shimin whispered in Li Jing's ear for a while, Li Jing's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Li Shimin: "Your Highness...... You're going to ......"

"Not bad" Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "Whether you can get Luoyang or not, if you use normal channels, it is impossible for me to win the eldest brother and the third brother, rather than this, it is better to give it a go."

"It's just that once this matter fails, for His Highness, it will be a catastrophe, please think twice," Li Jing said in a deep voice.

"Do I have a way out?" Li Shimin laughed miserably: "If my expectations are correct, it won't be long before the eldest brother or third brother will come to replace me, in this case, it is better to fight against the water."

Li Jing was silent, now Li Shimin's situation is a hundred times more embarrassing than in real history or among the Tang Dynasty Shuanglong, even the only good reputation was destroyed by Lu Bu a lot yesterday, reaching a valley bottom, if you don't follow this plan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get ahead in your life.

For a hero like Li Shimin, it is better to kill him, for a long time, Li Jing nodded with difficulty and said: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will live up to their trust, but Li Jing is now in an important position, how can he return to Chang'an?" ”

"Don't worry about this, pharmacist, you can return to Chang'an with great fanfare, and present the situation here, including the matter of General Qu Tu, to my father and emperor word for word, and I will find someone to handle the rest of the matter." Li Shimin shook his head and said.

"Subordinates obey orders" Li Jing nodded fiercely and led the order to leave.

"Crescent" After Li Jing left, Li Shimin put his head on the backrest, his eyes closed slightly, and said to the void.

"Your Highness." A soft voice sounded, and the delicate figure of the new moon appeared in front of Li Shimin, Li Shimin stretched out his hand and stopped the new moon into his arms, and the new moon obediently pillowed on Li Shimin's chest, and said softly: "Has Your Highness already decided?" ”

"Hmm." Looking at the new moon, I remembered another graceful figure in my mind, the same ordinary and the same beautiful appearance, but it was probably a preconceived reason, which made Li Shimin engraved in his heart, the new moon was just a substitute for her, Li Shimin closed his eyes, and his nose lingered with a faint virgin body fragrance, and he said after a while: "It's just that the eldest brother and the third brother are around them, and there are many masters to protect them, but they need your help." ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the new moon is ready." Crescent nodded obediently and said.

"It's for the best." Li Shimin nodded, his heart was quiet for a while, his eyes closed slightly, and he fell asleep deeply.

……

"Lord Wang, this ** is really ......" In Lu Bu's big tent, Xu Xingzhi smiled bitterly and held his wine glass, shook his head and sighed, when Lu Bu waved his troops and rushed directly to Hangu Pass, his heart was about to burst out.

"Hehe, why worry about it, even if Li Shimin really dares to send someone out to pursue, my blood wolf army has a war horse under his crotch and a blade in his hand, which is the most elite in the world, who can catch up?" Lu Bu shook his head absently.

"It's just that my subordinates didn't expect that the prince would lie too" Xu Xingzhi smiled bitterly, and Lu Bu has known each other for a long time, in the eyes of Xu Xingzhi, Lu Bu's character is a bit self-willed, and many times, it is not flexible, which makes people really helpless, but today, it is not the case, Lu Bu's sentence alone, not to mention that Li Shimin was ruined, but it is enough to cut Li Shimin's military power.

Li Yuan's three sons, each of them are masterpieces in the world, but what really makes Xu Xingzhi, Shen Luoyan and others pay attention is this Li Shimin, who not only uses soldiers like a god and is imaginative, but also knows the way of the emperor and can forbear, such a person, in terms of personality alone, restrained Lu Bu, but now, he was embarrassed by Lu Bu's words.

Honest people lie, but it is really extraordinary, especially for people like Lu Bu who usually don't disdain to lie at all, but it is easier for people to believe when they lie, if they don't know the truth, even if they are false, they may be deceived by Lu Bu, it is conceivable that now that Hangu is closed, I am afraid that it is a situation where the handsome will be separated, even if Li Shimin has the ability, for a while, it is impossible to eliminate this evil result.

"By the way, Luo Yan's side, is there any news?" Lu Bu asked.

"The princess has ordered Lu Feng to stay in Jingling, and the army will come, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass tomorrow" Xu Xingzhi's face showed a touch of relief.

In fact, in this era, it is taboo for women to lead troops, but now it is a troubled time, so naturally there is not so much attention, plus Lu Buli is out of the crowd, and Shen Luoyan is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the military, that profound resourcefulness, even if it is a false act, it is deeply respected, and Shen Luoyan has been in the army for many years, and many generals are also deeply convinced.

What's more, Shen Luoyan is Lu Bu's princess, and it is not without precedent for the princess to go out with the army, so Shen Luoyan can have a stage to play to her heart's content.

At this point, even if it is not as good as Shen Luoyan, after all, Shen Luoyan is really his own person, and he knows how to advance and retreat, and has always been regarded by Lu Bu as his arm, these years, if it were not for Shen Luoyan, Lu Bu would never have today's achievements.

"Well, but it's still more complacent, there is still a gap between the strength of our army and Li Tang." Lu Bu nodded, and then said.

The troops that Shen Luoyan can bring this time are only 80,000 to die, plus the blood wolf army brought by Lu Bu, that is, 110,000 horses.

And Li Shimin, although he folded 30,000 today, but Hangu Pass already had 80,000 troops stationed, plus Li Mi's surrender army, although Li Mi had lost a lot of men and horses in the previous war, and the 200,000 army was just an imaginary number, but there were still 150,000 horses, and the two sides combined, even if they folded 30,000, there were still 200,000 horses, almost twice as many as Lu Bu, so I had to worry.

"The minister thinks that although the prince's actions today may weaken Li Shimin's influence in Li Tang, it will also force Li Shimin to act earlier." The Void Walk said in a deep voice.

"How?" Lu Bu looked at the void in surprise.

"Although Li Shimin is now because of the prince's words, there is a rift in the army, but because of this, Li Shimin is in a desperate situation, if he does not take Luoyang as soon as possible, Li Tang is likely to soon send Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji to take over the affairs of Luoyang, and seize Luoyang so much, if it is snatched away by Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji, Li Shimin will never have the strength to turn over" Void Xingzhi said in a deep voice: "Therefore, the minister thinks that if Li Shimin wants to recover some of the decline, the best way is to capture Luoyang as soon as possible before Li Jiancheng or Li Yuanji arrives, There are 200,000 troops, and there is the Dugu valve as an internal response, and Wang Shichong is already exhausted after some consumption with Li Mi before, if Li Shimin is really desperate, it may not be impossible to capture Luoyang. Void said in a deep voice.

"So what should we do?" Lu Bu's eyes froze, and a flash of light flashed in the tiger's eyes, this time he went north, for Luoyang, he was determined to win, and it was impossible to give it to Li Shimin.

"There is no other way for the time being, although our army is elite, but after all, there are only 30,000, even if we give up the Tiger Prison Pass, we will not be able to fight against Li Shimin's 200,000 army, the only way to do this is to wait for the reinforcements of Shen Junshi's division to come, and then make a decision." Void Xingzhi shook his head with a wry smile.

"Well, order the scouts and keep an eye on the movements in the direction of Luoyang." Lu Bu nodded.
