The military situation in Longxi has been reported one after another, and Li Yuan, who is in Chang'an City, is worried. Longxi is comparable to the "backyard" of Chang'an City, the backyard is on fire, and the house is restless. Since the day the army was raised, Li Shimin's military talent has been seen by him. "Shimin, you also know the battle report of Longxi, Xiqin has repeatedly provoked, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the guards will not be able to hold it. I have awarded you the title of 'Marshal of the West', and you will be sure to take Xue Rengao within three months! ”

The last defeat to Western Qin has always been a faint sore spot in Li Shimin's heart, "The son must do his best to assist his father." "I vowed to calm Longxi this time. However, this is only a little comfort for himself, he is not completely sure that he will win the battle. In today's situation, Tang Fei is embattled, and it is almost the same. The Western Qin won one after another, which shows that there is a huge difference in the combat strength of the two sides. The east and north are bordered by a strong enemy, and there is no surplus combat power to deploy.

"Your Majesty, someone in prison has come to report it." The father-in-law came in and said.

"Come in."

I saw a jailer walk in, a little panicked, and said: "Long live Qiyu, Master Pei Wenjing Pei is afraid of crime and self-judgment in prison." ”

Li Shimin never thought that the side in prison was the last one. "Father, Lord Pei died a strange death."

The jailer continued: "Master Pei hanged himself, and when he was dying, he repented, saying that he could not live up to the emperor's expectations. The body is now in the cell, awaiting examination. ”

After Li Yuan sighed for a short time, he said: "The current disaster on the border is an urgent need, and the people of the world will go back and prepare for it, and choose a day to go on the expedition." Pei Wenjing's funeral is handed over to his family and he will take care of it himself. ”

"Father, the son has one more thing to ask for."

"What?"

"Li Zhenghang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is upright, calm and composed, and his son wants to make him a deputy general."

Dispatching troops, Li Yuan never doubted Li Shimin's ability: "Why not, you just pass on my message." ”

Li Shimin wanted to go to Qingfeng Mountain to find the master mentioned by Pei Wenjing before setting out on the expedition, and he wanted to ask the master for advice to get a plan to break the enemy. On this day, he rode alone to find Qingfeng Mountain.

Here the clouds and mist are ethereal, the cold and steep, the light rain moistens the stones, the bamboo is repaired and the wind is knocked, and a few birdsongs hang in the treetops.

Last night it rained in the middle of the mountain, and the water flowed from the treetops. Walking on the thick fallen leaves, looking all over Qingfeng Mountain, I finally saw a mountain hut, vaguely like in the clouds. Half of it is covered by clouds, half of it is covered by fog, and it does not merge with the world.

This must be the place.

Li Shimin tied his horse to a tree and walked alone along a mountain road drifting in the universe. The door to the hut was open, as if it knew someone was coming. Li Shimin walked in softly, and saw a person wearing a scarf on his head, wearing a crane, and a fairy wind and bones, fluttering like a fairy.

The man turned his head when he heard the voice: "Your Highness, you are here." The tone was light.

This person looks middle-aged, but it is difficult to hide his delicate atmosphere.

"Did you expect that you were coming? How does the gentleman know who he is? Li Shimin was puzzled.

"Needless to say, today, how many people can be as wise and martial as His Highness! This valley has been quiet and quiet for many years, and His Royal Highness is heroic, and you can feel the sharpness from a few miles away. ”

"Sir, he is really a god."

"Your Highness, please take a seat." The man made two cups of hot tea. The two sat on both sides of Yanji and talked head-on.

"Presumably Mr. also knows the purpose of this trip?"

"The contemptible people are willing to help Your Excellency save the people from fire and water, but the world is not complete." A long sigh followed.

"Sir, do you mean that you don't want to go out of the mountain to help?"

"With your cleverness and determination, stabilizing the world is just around the corner, so why do you need me." After speaking, the man took a sip of tea.

"Sir doesn't want to go out of the mountain, now I have something to ask Sir......"

"Your Highness is referring to the calamity of Western Qin." Before he could say anything about the consultation, he had already expected that this person would not go out of the mountain hut, but he would be able to understand the major events in the world. What a talent!

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, the army of Qi attacked Lu with bright light, bells and drums, denouncing the crimes committed by Lu Zhuang Gong against Qi before. When the state of Lu was facing the war, Cao Di asked to supervise the war. The Qi army attacked twice, but the Lu army did not respond. The third attack of the Qi army, Cao Di saw that although the Qi army was coming fiercely this time, the momentum was declining, and he thought that the time had come to attack. Zhuang Gong gave the order to attack, and then the Lu army won a decisive victory. ”

Li Shimin slapped his head when he heard this: "Mr. is really a military wizard, why didn't you think of it!" Sir is talking about the famous battle in history - the Battle of the Long Spoon? ”

"Exactly, Your Highness. It's not that you can't think of it, it's just that you've been blinded temporarily. The gentleman stood up, walked around the house, and continued: "The battle of equal strength is fought with courage. Western Qin has won many victories and has become a proud soldier. The low-profile, cautious mourners are often the last to win. ”

The two talked for a long time in the thatched house, and Li Shimin really benefited a lot from the conversation with Mr., especially "those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are also the Six Kingdoms, not Qin". This led him to find answers to many of his questions.

The sun gradually sank in the west, and Li Shimin had no choice but to say goodbye.

"Zhuge of the Three Kingdoms is not yet a fledgling, and it is set in three parts of the world. Mr.'s talent is no less than Kong Ming, Mr. must have your own reason if he doesn't go out of the mountain, but whether Mr. can live in the Hidden Fog Mountain, which is closest to Chang'an City, so that it is much more convenient to ask Mr. for advice. ”

"Your Highness, let's go, those who are destined will meet each other."
