On August 20, the rebels divided into two routes, Li Yuan crossed the river into Guanzhong, and the nearby counties along the way all surrendered to the counties under their jurisdiction.

Hearing that Sun Hua had joined Li Yuan, the small rebel armies in Guanzhong came to defect one after another.

On August 26, Li Yuan's army arrived at Fengyi County.

"Tang Gong, Huayin County Commander asks to see you." A small soldier walked outside the door.

Li Yuan suddenly got up from behind the bookcase, and his face was happy: "Please." ”

Wang Yu glanced at Li Yuan, and then looked at the door.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man with a beard to appear at the door, and he stepped over the threshold and came to Li Yuan.

He crossed his hands and bent over: "Huayin County has ordered Li Xiao to be a general. ”

Li Yuan stepped forward quickly and helped him up: "You and my brother, don't be polite, please sit down." ”

Brothers?

Wang Yu raised his eyebrows obliquely and looked at the person in front of him, oh, by the way, he said that he was Li Xiaochang, the commander of Huayin County.

are all surnamed Li, so they should be brothers.

Li Yuan can be called a brother and a brother with Li Mi, and if he says that he has the same clan and different branches, then anyone surnamed Li in the world can be Li Yuan's brother of the same clan.

"Xiao Yu'er, come over and see your uncle." Li Yuan beckoned to Wang Yu.

"Uncle Clan?" Wang Yu was a little surprised, are they brothers of the same clan?

"Yes, he's my brother." Li Yuan smiled and said to her, "So, you should call 'clan uncle'." ”

Only then did Wang Yu put away his chaotic thoughts, and stepped forward to salute respectfully: "Nephew Queen Yu has seen the clan uncle." ”

Li Xiaochang looked at Wang Yu quietly, and said amiably: "This is Xiao Yu'er, I have long heard that the clan brother has a righteous daughter, who is talented and intelligent, and is known as the 'goddess prodigy'."

"When I saw it today, I really had an extraordinary bearing.

"Little Yu'er, get up quickly."

Wang Yu took advantage of the situation and got up.

"I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring any gifts, so I'll go back and make up for you." Li Xiaochang's attitude is very easy-going, as if he is facing his own nephew.

Wang Yu didn't care if there was a meeting gift, after all, she was now a noble girl and very wealthy.

She looked at Li Xiaochang's squinting eyes, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if there is a gift for me or not, whether Uncle Clan has something good for Aya is what I care about." ”

"Say what?" Li Yuan pretended to scold: "Go back and practice calligraphy." ”

"Oh."

Wang Yu sat back behind the bookcase and practiced writing.

Li Xiaochang looked at Wang Yu, then at Li Yuan, and saw him looking at him with a smile on his face, and suddenly hesitated: "Brother, I have something to tell you, this ....."

After speaking, his eyes glanced at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu turned a blind eye to Li Xiaochang's gaze and practiced calligraphy seriously.

Li Yuan calmly poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaochang, "Xiao Yu'er has always been by my side, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Li Xiaochang picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and at the same time looked at Wang Yu, probably because this child was too young, and the clan brother didn't worry about others taking care of him, so he stayed here.

Also, the child is so young that he doesn't understand anything, so it doesn't matter if he listens.

Li Xiaochang put down the teacup and said to Li Yuan solemnly: "I have read the text written by the clan brother, and I am deeply impressed by the noble heart of the clan brother, and I am determined to do my best to assist the clan brother to calm the world." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan's expression eased, and he said with a smile: "Xiao Chang doesn't know, that article was written by Xiao Yu'er. ”

"Did Xiao Yu'er write it?" Li Xiaochang couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Wang Yu opposite, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Wang Yu raised his head, smiled at him elegantly, and then continued to practice calligraphy.

"Yes, the whole article was written by Xiao Yu'er." Seeing Li Xiaochang's expression, Li Yuan was very satisfied.

Envy, right? It's not that anyone's daughter is so smart.....

Li Xiaochang poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, suppressed his shock, and thought that the praise he heard was just an exaggeration of others on Li Yuan's face, but he didn't expect this niece to be really smart.

The name of a prodigy is also worthy of it.

"Brother, there is a granary under my jurisdiction, called Yongfeng Cang, I am willing to take Huayin County and Yongfeng Cang to join the clan brothers, and help the clan brothers take Chang'an in one fell swoop."

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said three good words in a row: "Good, good, good, with Yongfeng Cang, the army's grain and grass don't have to worry."

"I am very grateful for my brother's generosity, so I will promote my brother to Guanglu doctor."

On the second day, Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng, Liu Wenjing and other armies to enter Yongfengcang and take Tongguan.

Then he issued an order to Li Shimin and Chai Shao: "Chai Shao, you bring people to meet Sanniang, from today onwards, you and Sanniang can set up their own shogunate and cultivate their own descendants."

"Erlang, you, Cheng Zhijie, and Qin Shubao set off immediately, crossed Weishui, took the territory north of Weishui, and copied Chang'an from the north."

When Wang Yu heard this, he said, "I'll go too." ”

"Nope."

Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Qin Shubao spoke in unison.

Wang Yu's face was stunned: "You few.... Why not? ”

Li Shimin and Qin Shubao looked at Li Yuan and did not speak.

Li Yuan said with a calm face: "You have to follow me, you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

"Then I'll go with my brother-in-law to see my sister, so it's okay." Wang Yu always felt that with Li Yuan, the next battle he encountered was not very exciting, it must have been a drop in the wind, or it was easy to overcome.

On the contrary, the battle of Li Shimin's line was more difficult, otherwise he would not have sent Cheng Zhijie, Qin Shubao and other fierce generals.

"Nope." Li Yuan emphasized again: "I said, you must follow me, you will go wherever I go." ”

Seeing that Wang Yu opened his mouth to object, Li Yuan swept over with a slap of his eyes: "This is a military order." ”

It's all up to military orders, what else can she say?

Wang Yu rolled his eyes in his heart, and had no choice but to say: "Brothers, take care, protect yourself, and when you capture Chang'an, you have to tell me all the battles along the way." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chai Shao again: "Brother-in-law, you too, help me say hello to Sister A, we will meet soon, and I won't write to Sister A." ”

"No problem." Chai Shao responded briskly.

Li Shimin gently touched Wang Yu's hair to show comfort: "Don't worry, I will tell you in detail in the future, so that you can draw enough." ”

Qin Shubao heard it suspiciously, but he didn't ask, and gently touched the top of Wang Yu's head: "Don't worry, little Yu'er, we'll see you again soon." ”

"Hmm." Wang Yu nodded with tears in his eyes, looking uncomfortable....

------

The eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji arrived all the way to Hedong City, lined up under the city, and launched a fierce attack.

Qu Tutong had been waiting for a long time, and he was not in a hurry to command the battle.

After attacking the city for five days in a row, the eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji failed to break through Hedong City, and they couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

When Qu Tutong learned that Li Yuan had led the main army across the Yellow River, entered Guanzhong, and went straight to Chang'an, he hurriedly summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.

"Thanks to His Majesty's imperial grace, I was ordered to control the reinforcements in Guanzhong, and now that the three-way reinforcements have arrived in Hedong, I decided to lead the main force south to Tongguan to rescue Chang'an.

"What do you think?"

All the generals said in unison: "We will wait for the general to look at the horse." ”

"Okay." Qu Tutong immediately issued an order: "Yao Junsu listens to the order, I order you to stick to the ..... east of the river"
