It is undeniable that Pei Lin and others are very reasonable, this is very likely to be a Hongmen banquet.

But again, the temptation of this feast was too great for the various forces to think of any reason to refuse, or rather, they simply did not want to refuse.

Moreover, if they do not respond to the call, I am afraid that everyone in the world will point at their backbone and scold: tyrannical nature, disregard for the suffering of the people, unkindness, unrighteousness, disloyalty and filial piety......

Even if they become a great treasure in the future, the world will accuse them of being rebellious and unworthy of virtue.

Li Yuan also thought so, so he adopted Li Shimin's opinion: "According to what Erlang said, an edict will be issued immediately, and all those who have civil and military talents should rush to Chang'an as soon as possible, and I will personally select them." ”

Not only Li Yuan, but also Xiao Mi, Xue Ju, Guo Zihe, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Li Mi, Dou Jiande and other forces gathered talented people in the territory as soon as possible to prepare for the Shangsi Festival feast.

There were even Turkic dependents who asked Shibi Khan for help, asking Shibi Khan to send warriors to help, after all, there was a martial arts test, and the Turkic cavalry was a kind of existence that the Central Plains people were particularly afraid of.

Liu Wuzhou was the closest to the Turks, and after he made up his mind, he immediately sent an envoy to the Turks, asking Shibi Khan for help.

After learning about the situation, Shibi Khan summoned his ministers to discuss.

Kang Sheli objected: "Khan, you must not send cavalry to help Liu Wuzhou, if we help him ascend to the throne, it will mean the unification of the Central Plains."

"And the Central Plains is unified, and its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated, so how can we profit from it when the time comes?

"I think that the Central Plains is like this, the more chaotic it is, the better it is for us."

Ashina Dubi disagreed with him and put forward the opposite opinion: "Khan, Liu Wuzhou is the regime we support, and he has always obeyed us, he is just a puppet.

"If the Emperor of the Central Plains is our puppet, he has to give us what we want, so wouldn't it be better than now?"

Many people nodded, thinking that he had a point, even Shibi Khan.

Kang Yanli did not give up, but still persuaded: "Khan, what if Liu Wuzhou repents after being elected as the co-ruler of the world and becomes our enemy?"

"At that time, he will raise the whole army to fight against us, and even if we can win, we will suffer heavy losses, so why not continue this chaos?"

After hearing these words, Shibi Khan felt that Kang Xuanli had considered it right, and this situation should also be guarded against.

Seeing his brother's hesitation, Ashina Gulfersh suggested: "Khan, since Liu Wuzhou sent someone to ask for help, then Liang Shidu, Guo Ziyi and others will also send someone to ask us for help, we might as well dry Liu Wuzhou's envoy first, and then give them an answer in a few days." ”

Shibi Khan stroked his palm: "Okay." ”

So he sent someone to inform Liu Wuzhou's envoy.

Ashina Gulphosheth said, "Khan, in fact, we should send people to help Liu Wuzhou and them. ”

"Oh? How do you say that? Shibi Khan looked at him.

"If we don't send someone to help them, they will also go to Luoyang to participate in the Shangsi Festival feast, since they will go anyway, it is better for us to send someone to help.

"At that time, there will be our people in Luoyang City, and we can wait for the opportunity to move and control the situation."

Shibi Khan laughed happily: "Haha, you are still smart, just do it." ”

---------

Li Yuan pointed to a certain place on the map and said to Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin: "Yuwenxin has persuaded Ashina Dubi not to send troops with Xue Ju, so Xue Ju's threat to Chang'an has been eliminated.

"As long as the Turks do not send troops to us, we will be able to hold the current territory......"

At this time, a voice came from the door: "King Tang, the husband and wife of Linfen County ask to see you." ”

Li Yuan stopped his movements and looked at the door: "Let them in." ”

Li Sanniang took the lead in stepping into the main hall and greeted the three of them generously: "Aya, Da Lang, Erlang." ”

Chai Shao followed.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin greeted them one after another.

Without waiting for Li Yuan to speak, Li Sanniang said, "Aya, I want to go to Luoyang with you." ”

"Sanniang."

Chai Shao quietly tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Don't make trouble, this is a big deal." ”

Li Sanniang glared at him, and her voice was very loud: "If this is a trivial matter, I won't come yet, Aya's safety is the most important, I will follow Aya's side to protect him." ”

Hearing the last sentence, Li Yuan's heart warmed, but he did not agree to her request: "You and Da Lang stay in Chang'an, and Erlang will go with me." ”

"Why?" Li Sanniang broke free of Chai Shao's hand and stepped forward to theorize: "Is it because I am a woman?" But my martial arts are no worse than those soldiers.

"In terms of courage, courage, and talent, how many can compare with me? Aya had praised me a lot. ”

After speaking, he looked like "if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I won't leave".

Li Yuan couldn't cry and laughed, and explained to her: "I'm not saying that you can't do it, on the contrary, you are better than many soldiers." But since you mentioned your own daughter, then you should know that sometimes it is really inconvenient for a woman to act.

"I've never underestimated my daughter, on the contrary, I'm proud of you."

Li Sanniang's expression finally relaxed, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"However, you also know that I can only take a thousand people to Luoyang this time, so the soldiers I choose must be the best soldiers among the elite soldiers, so you should stay in Chang'an with Chai Shao.

"Chang'an is the top priority."

Li Yuan emphasized the last sentence in particular.

Li Sanniang was silent, although Chang'an was very important, she still heard the implication, that is, if she insisted on going to Luoyang, she would be wasting a place.

She was a little unhappy, but had to admit that her father was right.

"Okay, I'll stay in Chang'an, guard Chang'an with Dalang, and wait for Aya and Erlang to return safely."

However, she couldn't go if she wanted to, because two days later, she was diagnosed with Ximai by the imperial doctor.

Li Sanniang is happy and depressed.

But everyone else rejoiced.

Li Yuan even said: "On this occasion, Sanniang diagnosed the happy pulse, which is really a good sign. ”

So, Li Yuan summoned Xiahou Duan: "During this time, you have been watching the stars every day, what have you gained?" ”

Xiahou Duan was already the secretary and supervisor at this time, and he said: "On the way to Chang'an, I only found two opportunities to watch the stars, compared to last night's stars, the purple light is a little weaker.

"The day before yesterday, a new star suddenly appeared in the west of the purple microstar, which was faint at first, and the light appeared and disappeared.

"Last night there was a sudden glow, and after a quarter of an hour the light faded, but it was brighter than the day before, and several bright stars appeared around it."

When Li Yuan heard this, he pondered in his heart, Zi Weixing was originally an emperor star, referring to Yang Guang, who was in Luoyang.

Now that the light of Ziwei Star is fading, a new star has suddenly appeared in its west, does this mean that the Sui Dynasty is about to run out?

And Chang'an is in the west of Luoyang, does it mean that the star that suddenly shines refers to him?

He is the child of destiny......

Xiahou Duan saw that Li Yuan had a happy expression on his face, and said euphemistically: "The new star has only appeared for three days, and we still need to continue to observe, please ......wait patiently for King Tang."
