One hundred and forty-fourth, the king of Qin set out on an expedition

"I've seen it, and I've told him about your difficulties." Princess Pingyang replied.

"Thank you sister, sister doesn't need to say much else, tomorrow in the court, I will take the initiative to ask my father for war." After Li Shimin listened, he was slightly silent for a while and spoke.

"I should thank you, Father...... is both our king and our father, and it is really not good for us to be children to comment on him behind our backs, which makes Erlang feel wronged. Princess Pingyang looked at Li Shimin with some apologies.

In terms of open-mindedness, Princess Pingyang is not necessarily inferior to Li Shimin. It's just that she is a woman, no matter how talented she is, in this patriarchal feudal society that has been inherited for thousands of years, no one will compare her with Li Shimin.

Many things that Li Shimin can see and worry about, she can also see and worry, the same worries, Gao Zu and Li Jiancheng are among the ordinary people, they are regarded as capable people, but their personalities have great limitations.

With their character, it is more than enough to be the king of the city in a prosperous dynasty, but it is very difficult for them to create a prosperous era in the chaotic times of ruins, if it is not for Li Erlang, Princess Pingyang can't think about that situation......

But she has no ability to change all this, Gaozu is her father, Jiancheng is the eldest brother of her in-law, Jiancheng is the eldest son of the grandson, his character and ability are not bad, and he is the crown prince, which is not only in line with the law of etiquette, but also in line with the righteousness.

"My sister is serious, I don't feel wronged, it's just, forget it, my father and eldest brother will definitely learn a lesson after this incident, our Tang Dynasty has not long been founded, everyone is still in the learning stage, and they are naturally no exception." Li Shimin obviously understood what his sister meant, smiled slightly, and said unconcernedly.

The next day, Li Shimin took the initiative to invite Ying, went to Hebei to quell the rebellion, Gaozu and the courtiers were overjoyed when they heard the sound, and for a while, all kinds of flattery and praise of the King of Qin poured out of their mouths like flowing water.

Li Shimin thought that he was not cheeky, but after listening to the words of these people, he unconsciously blushed, but the face of the prince Li Jiancheng involuntarily turned black into carbon, and he also intended to stand up and ask for battle, but looking at Liu Heimin's achievements, he was really unsure in his heart, so he could only forcibly endure it.

In the first month of the fifth year of Wude, Gaozu Li Yuan named Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, as the deputy commander of the march, and ordered the two brothers to go on a river expedition to conquer Liu Heimin.

In the first month of the same year, Liu Heiminzhi, who unified the two banks of Hebei, was complacent, proclaimed himself the king of Handong, changed the Yuan Tianzao, and set the capital of Zhaozhou......

All the officials of Dou Jiande's former subordinates were reinstated, and all administrative systems were established, all of which followed Dou Jiande's example, which brought him a supreme reputation, coupled with his ability to fight far above Dou Jiande, the generals were very convinced of him, and his prestige soon surpassed Dou Jiande.

In February of that year, Li Shimin's army came to Weizhou, and Liu Heimin, who had been invincible all the way in the previous half a year, had beaten the Tang army and fled, heard that Li Shimin had arrived, and his heart suddenly rose up with a strong vigilance and solemnity.

How powerful Li Shimin is, others don't know, but he has a deep understanding of the big battle between Dou Jiande and Li Shimin at Wugaoguan last year, and he has personally experienced it.

Although he was not the boss at that time, and he couldn't be the master of many strategies, he saw Li Shimin's elusive and brave military methods.

Although he escaped after Dou Jiande's defeat, his vigilance and vigilance against Li Shimin in his heart can be said to have reached the extreme.

When he had just rebelled last year, if Li Tang had sent Li Shimin over, he would probably have nothing to do with him now.

Now, although Liu Heimin was nervous, he didn't have much fear in his heart.

In his opinion, last year, Dou Jiande's troops were several times more than Li Shimin's and they were still defeated in his hands.

Second, it is related to Dou Jiande's character, Dou Jiande is a hero, but he acts a little forward-looking, and his grasp of the fighter is not sensitive enough, so it is not surprising that he lost to Li Shimin.

Liu Heimin thinks that his character is not as good as Dou Jiande, but when it comes to the ability to fight, he has to throw Dou Jiande a few streets.

If he had no soldiers in his hands, it would be fine, but now the soldiers and horses in his hands are not under Li Shimin at all, and he doesn't believe that he doesn't have the strength to fight with Li Shimin.

For this reason, Liu Heimin was nervous at the same time, and the war intent in his heart was boiling like a scorching molt, he first launched two tentative attacks on Weizhou, and found that Weizhou, which was garrisoned by Li Shimin, was really impregnable.

The two exploratory attacks not only did not hurt Li Shimin at all, but made him lose his troops and lose his generals, in this regard, Hei Min, who had already predicted in his heart, was not angry, he immediately changed his strategy, began to shrink his forces, gave up the defense of Xiangzhou, and retreated to Zhaozhou to consolidate the rear.

Li Shimin got Xiangzhou without much effort, but he didn't have the slightest pride in his heart, but looked up to Liu Heimin more and more.

Li Yuanji was different, he couldn't help but be upset when he saw that Liu Heimin, who was rumored to be invincible, behaved so badly.

"Cut, they all say how powerful Liu Heimin is in the war, look at it today, it's just that, before the King of Huai'an and Luo Yi didn't know what they were doing, hundreds of thousands of troops were beaten by him, if I changed it......" One day after Liu Heimin gave up Xiangzhou, Li Yuanji boasted with his generals in the camp tent with a full face.

"What if you?" It's just that before he finished his sentence, he was picked up by a voice that was obviously full of anger.

Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to scold someone so boldly, and dared to confront himself face to face, but soon found that the faces of the generals were wrong, and the voice just now seemed to be the second brother.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Li Shimin walking into his camp tent with a black face, Yuan Ji saw him, slipped to his mouth and swallowed back the scolding, and called out: "Second brother." ”

"You all go out." Li Shimin ignored Yuanji, he gave an order to the generals in Yuanji's tent, and when the generals heard this, they immediately got up and rushed out, and disappeared in an instant.

"Yuanji, for the basic generals, before the war is over, you must not have a half-hearted contempt for any enemy, you don't know, right? Three years ago, what happened in Taiyuan didn't teach you a long lesson? After everyone left, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Yuan Ji and he spoke quite sternly.

"I'm sorry, second brother." Under Li Erlang's stern gaze, Yuan Ji reluctantly opened his mouth to admit his mistake.

Li Shimin wrung his eyebrows and looked at him for a while, didn't say anything more, and quickly turned around and left his tent, as soon as he left the tent, Yuan Ji flew up and kicked a small stool.
