"Bring it on!" Li Xiuning waved his hand, and the postman respectfully untied the bamboo tube sealed with red paint from his body, and put his hands in Ye Zhu's hands.

Tearing off the seal paint, Ye Zhu pulled out a roll of Di Bao from the bamboo tube, and then confirmed that there was no problem with Di Bao before presenting it to Li Xiuning with both hands.

As for the banquet, it ended with the arrival of the Di Bao, naturally there were soldiers who came in and removed the banquet, all the generals were in place, and those who were standing and sitting, and Lu Chen, as a military advisor, naturally sat in the first position on the left hand, as for Li Xiuning's personal maidservants and left and right deputy generals Ye Zhu and Lu Qiuming stood on both sides of Li Xiuning.

The frolicking atmosphere at the banquet just now has disappeared, except for the aroma of wine and meat that still permeates the entire hall, all that remains is the atmosphere of solemnity, and everyone's eyes are focused on Li Xiuning.

As Li Xiuning looked at Di Bao, his face gradually became solemn, and his two eyebrows were also slightly wrinkled.

"Strategist, it doesn't seem to be good news!" Fang Qi, who was standing behind Lu Chen, whispered in Lu Chen's ear.

"Hmm!" Looking at Li Xiuning's increasingly gloomy face, Lu Chen also knew that it was definitely not good news in the newspaper, otherwise Li Xiuning's face would not be so gloomy.

"Liu Heimin, this guy actually colluded with the Turks to buckle the border!" Reading the Di Bao, Li Xiuning slapped the Di Bao on the table, "My eldest brother and third brother are ready to face the Turks!" Li Xiuning said in a cold voice.

"Dashuai, can I read the Di Bao?" Lu Chen stood up and asked Li Xiuning.

"Strategist, but it's okay to watch!" Li Xiuning nodded and agreed that Lu Chen would read the newspaper.

Lu Chen picked up the newspaper and read it, the newspaper roughly meant: "Liu Heimin was defeated by Li Shimin and ran to the Turks, the Turks were in a famine, Liu Heimin colluded with the Turkic Jieli Khan and the Turkic Khan, and led troops to invade our border, and the prince Li Jiancheng and the Qin king Li Shimin have divided their troops to meet the Turks." At the same time, he ordered Li Zihe, the governor of Yunzhou, to assist Li Shimin, and Duan Decao, the general of Zuo Wuwei, to go out of Xiazhou to cut off the retreat of Jieli Khan, and even sent Zheng Yuanshou to prepare to envoy to the Turks. It also shows the four steps of Feng Deyi's admonition. (Please forgive the author's lack of knowledge, and he really can't make up Chinese).

At the same time, there was also a letter from Li Yuan to Li Xiuning, that is, the "Edict", which was a personal letter from the emperor to the princess, and Lu Chen could not read it.

In fact, when he saw the Di Bao, Lu Chen already knew what was going on, that is, the second expedition against Liu Heimin, and the biggest winner of this expedition against Liu Heimin should be Li Jiancheng, who not only retreated from the Turkic cavalry, but also took advantage of the situation to collect Li Yi from Youzhou, and pacified Liu Heimin.

Lu Chen is thinking about one thing now, if he kills Liu Heimin now, where will his butterfly fan the Tang Dynasty, and the most important thing is that if the timeline is modified, will Lu Chen himself still exist? This is what Lu Chen wants to know the most.

If you kill Liu Heimin now, then Li Xiuning will not have to die in the battle against Liu Heimin.

Although later generations have two speculations about Li Xiuning's death, the first is that Li Xiuning also participated in this battle against the Turks, after all, Niangziguan may also be the target of this Turkic attack, and Li Xiuning died because of the battle against the Turks; Another theory is that Li Xiuning did not participate in this attack on the Turks, but defended Liu Heimin in the rear, and when he fought with Liu Heimin, Li Xiuning unfortunately died.

However, no matter what, this is what will happen at the end of Wude's fifth year, and if Lu Chen kills Liu Heimin in advance, he will clear up one of the biggest worries about facing the Turks, but Lu Chen is not sure now, if he really does this, it will definitely cause the timeline to change, and it is difficult to say whether he will exist at that time.

At that time, Lu Chen was anxious to prove his innocence and save his life, so he proposed to kill Liu Heimin, and now he has been named a military advisor by Li Xiuning.

However, Lu Chen immediately thought about it again, in fact, killing Liu Heimin is not important to Lu Chen, even if Li Xiuning is kept, there is no problem, because Li Xiuning cannot be the emperor, at most, it is just to make Li Jiancheng lose one merit, at most, it will affect the prestige in the army that Li Jiancheng wants this time, and it should not affect himself, as for the "Xuanwumen Change" is still far away, let's take a step at a time!

"Dashuai, I don't know if I should say a word or not?" Lu Chen put the newspaper back on the table and looked at Li Xiuning.

"What is the plan of the military advisor, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" Li Xiuning looked at Lu Chen and said loudly.

"I think that's a good thing!" Lu Chen said indifferently.

"Why did the military advisor say that?" Hearing Lu Chen's words, Li Xiuning couldn't help but be slightly stunned, you know, the current form can be said to be in danger of the Tang Dynasty, there is a Turkic buckle on the front, and there is Liu Heimin on the Hebei side of the back, I don't understand how Lu Chen can say that this is a good thing.

If the second crusade against Liu Heimin was not wrong in Lu Chen's memory, this Turkic attack was withdrawn after peace talks, that is to say, the Tang Dynasty did not take any advantage, the only thing to get was to pacify Liu Heimin, as for Liu Heimin's "ally" Xu Yuanlang, it was all insignificant figures, and on the way back to Beijing after Li Shimin's first crusade against Liu Heimin became famous, he cleaned it up.

Therefore, now in front of Li Xiuning are two enemies, one is the invading Turks, and the other is Liu Heimin, who is entrenched in Hebei for the second time.

In fact, what is now in front of Li Xiuning is a dilemma, because the geographical location of Niangzi Pass, on the one hand, is Turkic, and on the other hand, Liu Heimin, which makes it difficult for Li Xiuning to choose for a while, but at this time, he has just recruited Lu Chen, the "military advisor" under his command, actually said that this is a good thing, how can Li Xiuning not wonder.

"Dashuai, in my opinion, these two things are actually one thing!" Lu Chen said with a smile, "Liu Heimin's second rebellion is to borrow the Turkic momentum, if the crown prince and the king of Qin can successfully intercept the Turks and make the Turks feel dangerous, they will inevitably draw troops and horses from Liu Heimin, when the time comes, Liu Heimin will lose the Turkic momentum, and with his current men, it is not enough to pose too much threat, not to mention, as I said below, there is a way to kill Liu Heimin silently!" Speaking of this, Lu Chen paused, and saw that Li Xiuning's expression eased a little, and then continued, "As soon as Liu Heimin dies, the rebels of Liu Heimin and his family will inevitably be leaderless, and when the time comes, the marshal can take advantage of the civil strife of Liu Heimin's family to directly wave his troops to quell the civil strife in Hebei, as for the Turkic side, according to what I can see below, there are two highnesses of the prince and the king of Qin to deal with it, and there should be no time to take care of Niangzi Pass for the time being!" After Lu Chen finished speaking, he looked at Li Xiuning.
