Could it be that when he left Changchun Palace a few months ago, Li Shimin seemed to have something in his heart, but he wanted to stop talking, because it was actually this?

There is a bitter relationship between Pharmacist Li and Li Yuan, and although this matter is not widely known, there are not a few people who have heard of it.

However, he regarded Li Shimin as a "bearded dragon", and in addition to himself, only Chuchen, Xu Hongke, and Yuan Tiangang knew about it.

Between Li Yuan and Li Shimin, there is no doubt about the emotions in Pharmacist Li's selfish heart.

However, if you put aside the personal grudge with "Brother Li Dibo", Pharmacist Li has to admit that Li Yuan is not only the most outstanding and wise among the heroes of the world, but also compared with the ancient virtuous kings, this emperor may not be inferior.

As for his crown prince Li Jiancheng...

Alas, this is the question that Pharmacist Li is most reluctant to touch.

Even in the face of dust, husband and wife do not want to talk about it.

Just by communicating with each other's minds, sometimes or just words and phrases, they can have a clear mind.

In August of this year, Pei Lian's entire army was annihilated; In September, Li Yuanji fled back to Chang'an, and Taiyuan fell; In October, the Tang army was defeated by reinforcements; In November, Dou Jiande captured Li Shentong and threatened Li Shiji.

This kind of battle situation shocked Li Yuan, and he wrote a handwritten letter to Li Shimin: "The thief is like this, it is difficult to fight, it is better to abandon the land east of the river and guard the west of the country." ”

For Li Shimin, the meaning of this edict is: "If you refuse to lead the army to recruit Liu Wuzhou, we Li Tang can only give up Hedong and only defend Guanzhong." ”

This is tantamount to the father showing concessions to himself.

So Li Shimin wrote a performance to his father: "Taiyuan is the foundation of the royal industry, the foundation of the country, Hedong is solid, and Jingyi is capitalized." If he abandons it, the minister will be resentful. I hope that the 30,000 fake elite soldiers will be able to pacify Wu Zhou and restore Fen and Jin. ”

This is equivalent to saying to Li Yuan: "Now you have to admit that if you want to recover Hefen, you have to rely on the subordinates, right?" ”

At this time, the tacit understanding between his father and son has gradually moved towards letting Li Shimin "live in Luoyang, since Shaanxi has been east, and it is suitable for the lord." It still makes you build the banner of the Son of Heaven, such as the story of King Liang Xiao".

Li Shimin was willing to go out of the school, Li Yuan was overjoyed, personally sent him out of Changchun Palace, and went to Huashan to worship Xiyue Temple on the return trip.

King Qin led his division to go on the expedition, and the battle situation in Hefen immediately changed.

In November of this year, Taiwei and Shangshu ordered Li Shimin to go east, and they also went to Longmen to "visit" his Shangshu's right servant Pei Lin once.

Pei Lin originally hoped that he would be able to make military achievements and prove to the emperor that the world did not have to rely on Li Shimin, but he obviously did not have such ability.

After leaving the Dragon Gate, Li Shimin led his army across the frozen Yellow River and came to Baibi in the southwest of Jiangzhou to confront Song Jingang.

Li Shimin knew that the opposing army had no reserves and could only be captured and plundered, so he closed the camp to recuperate and wait for the enemy's food to run out.

However, the king of a country cares about the country's finances, military resources, and salaries.

A few months ago, Li Yuan could not allow Li Yaoshi to "stay late" in Shennongjia, and at this time, he could not accept Li Shimin's troops on the Baibi battlefield.

He thought that since Li Shimin was pinning down Song Jingang on one side, he could send people to march from the other side.

In December of this year, Li Yuan sent troops out of the division, but was attacked by Wei Chi Jingde and Xun Xiang, and the Tang army was defeated.

Wei Chi Jingde and Xunxiang continued to attack, and Li Shimin personally led a strong force to intercept it, only to block it.

The strategy of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang was that Liu was in the north and Song was in the south, pinching the Tang army, and Song Jingang's grain and grass had to be transported south by Liu Wuzhou.

In April of this year, Li Shimin sent people to cut off the grain route and forced Song Jingang to retire.

Li Shimin led his troops in pursuit, and successively won three battles in Gaobiling, Bird Mouse Valley, and Jiexiu City, and won a complete victory.

Wei Chi Jingde and Xun Xiang surrendered to Li Tang, while Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang fled to the Turks.

Li Shimin then recovered the entire Hefen region, north to Bingzhou.

However, in February of that year, when the Tang army was mired in a bitter battle on many fronts in the north, Xiao Mo took the opportunity to encourage the Kaizhou barbarians to send troops to capture Tongzhou.

Within a few days, he attacked Shinshu again.

Li Xiaogong lost the battle, and Li Yuan ordered Li Yaoshi to go to reinforcements.

So Pharmacist Li led the 800 yuan servants who followed him all the way from Changchun Palace, and rushed to Xinzhou with Chuchen, Xue Guwu, Hebi, Suizhu, etc.

Kaishu and Tongshu are both west of Shinshu, and Kip is east of Shinshu.

From Kipju to Shinju, it is possible to use both land and water.

At that time, Li Tang's forces were only in the north of the river, and the south of the river was still the boundary of contention with Xiao Liang, and the two sides were already heavily guarded on weekdays.

Now that Xiao Mo is agitating Ran Zhao to attack, there must be defenses in the river, and if he travels by waterway, he cannot avoid clashes with the Liang army.

However, if you go by land, Li Tang was in Shannan at that time, and the only person who made Xiao Liang jealous was Pharmacist Li.

The other side must have laid an ambush between Kipju and Shinju and tried to intercept reinforcements.

So Pharmacist Li decided not to help the waterway of the Great River, nor to take the land route along the river, but to go north first out of Kipzhou and take the mountain.

This mountainous area is located on the southern edge of Shennongjia, and their group has long had experience in crossing the mountains.

Although the road was rugged, they were able to travel hundreds of miles in a day, and in five days they reached the mountains north of Shinshu City.

After the march, the whole army rested for the night.

Along the way, there were quite a few monkeys in the mountains, and although Xue Guwu couldn't play and frolic with the monkeys as he did in the past, he occasionally echoed with a whistling sound.

At this time, Pharmacist Li ordered him to try to summon the monkeys, but there was a lot of response.

The next day, the whole army was reorganized.

Pharmacist Li inspected the soldiers and gave orders:

"The whole army was divided into four teams, two hundred each."

"Zhang Baoxiang, you will lead the right army of two hundred."

"No!"

"Xi Jun buys, and you lead the left army of 200."

"No!"

"Xue Guwu, with your assistance and Bi, lead the guard two hundred."

"No!"

"No!"

"It is estimated that after dawn, the Ran thief will attack Xinzhou again.

With one drum, 200 Chinese troops followed me to hit the rear battalion.

two drums, the left army also out; Three drums, the right army came out again.

When the army came out, Xue Guwu called for the monkeys to make noise, disturbing the thieves' hearing and hearing. ”

"No!"

"No!"

"No!"

The armies were just about to stop, and they saw that Ran Zhao led thousands of barbarians to attack Shinshu.

Li Xiaogong had been avoiding the battle for many days, and on this day the scouts reported that Li Yaoshi had led his army to arrive.

But he only has 800 people, and Li Xiaogong really doesn't know what effect he can play.

However, Pharmacist Li wanted him to lead his troops into battle, and although Li Xiaogong was skeptical, he still lined up to meet the enemy.

Seeing Ran Zhao wave his hand, he heard a drum sound, and a team of brute soldiers stepped forward.

However, at the same time, Ran Zhao heard a commotion in the rear, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses seemed to come from the clouds, out of the mountains, and rushed straight to the back camp.

Pharmacist Li took the lead, and 200 yuan followed.

There are also groups of monkeys in the mountains clamoring, stirring up dust and sand in the sky, like thousands of military horses!

Ran Zhao didn't have time to react for a while, and subconsciously waved his hand, the second drum sounded, and another team of brute soldiers stepped forward.
