When Li Yuan received the battle report again, his whole person was numb. How many times has this been?

The day before, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, chased after them and beat them fiercely, almost destroying them. He didn't care about his face, and personally went out to pull the bias and give the prince and his people a chance, but what did the prince he had high hopes do?

After repeated fiascos, this time Liu Heimin had almost lost all his chips, and the result was another big defeat, and Li Yuanji was even more frightened and did not dare to fight.

Li Yuan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he directly issued an edict to reprimand Li Yuanji, the king of Qi.

At the same time, in the Tiance General's Mansion, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, was discussing affairs with his subordinate official Fang Xuanling at home, and at this time, a scolding voice came from outside the door.

"What is the King of Qi doing, tens of thousands of troops are holding back, let that Liu Heimin recover again, what kind of bad battle is this!"

"Zhijie, don't talk nonsense!" A voice next to him dissuaded.

"What's wrong?" Li Shimin got up and asked.

"Your Highness, Li Daoxuan lightly advanced against the enemy, the whole army was annihilated, the soldiers were defeated and died, and the tens of thousands of troops of the King of Qi were taken by Liu Heimin's troops, and they were unable to move forward." Wei Chi Jingde next to him said in a deep voice.

"What?" Li Shimin only felt dizzy for a while, you must know that although Li Daoxuan has a good relationship with Li Jiancheng, he also grew up with Li Shimin since childhood, and the relationship between the two is also like brothers.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!" Everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support them.

"Liu Heimin is just a lost dog, how can he still win?" Li Shimin relieved himself and pulled Qin Qiong to ask loudly.

"Your Highness, the generals are already discordant and uncertain, and the king of Pengcheng is young and lacks prestige, so he can't suppress those arrogant generals, and he underestimates the enemy." Qin Qiong sighed and said.

Li Shimin has been leading troops all year round, and he instantly understood, in this case, he himself knows very well that the soldiers and generals below are doing this for him, why do they do all the hard work, and it is someone else who picks peaches.

He figured it out, what could he do? Punish those soldiers and generals?

"What kind of bad battles are being fought every day, if you want me to say, I should have let His Highness come down in the first place, and I shouldn't have killed that Dou Jiande!"

"Okay, kill Dou Jiande, let's kill it, then let's put down the rebellion, but it looks like Hebei is going to be pacified, and it will be transferred back, now it's okay, the army is defeated and has suffered heavy losses, how can there be such a reason in the world!" Cheng Yanjin next to him said dissatisfiedly.

"Zhijie, don't say it! Your Royal Highness, for the sake of today's plan, please also ask Your Highness to enter the palace immediately to ask for battle, if Liu Heimin is not exterminated as soon as possible, the legacy will be endless! Wang Xuanlie hurriedly said.

"What happens after you go, defeat Liu Heimin, and then come back and let the others pick peaches?" Cheng Yanjin muttered quietly.

"Alright." Qin Qiong next to him pulled his sleeve and said.

Li Shimin did not speak, and directly led people to the palace, he wanted to write to his father, and personally led troops to exterminate Liu Heimin and completely pacify Hebei and Shandong.

But to his surprise, Li Yuan once again rejected his suggestion.

Li Yuan knew very well that the best thing to do at this time was to send Erlang to clean up the mess, but if he really did this, his face would really become a rag to be rubbed back and forth.

In fact, by now, above the court, many people have seen Li Yuan clearly through this matter, and they have secretly laughed in their hearts.

To turn Hebei and Shandong, which are so simple and can be passed on, into a place of chicken feathers can only be said to be self-inflicted. Now that Li Shimin is not allowed to continue to go to Hebei, it is already his last bit of face.

Looking at Li Shimin, who walked out of the palace in despair, Wang Xuanjing did not react, the current Li Shimin is not completely disappointed, and he still has illusions about Li Yuan, Wang Xuanjing decided to personally shatter his illusions.

When night fell, there was silence in Chang'an City.

Chang'an City continued the Sui Dynasty Daxing City, and also implemented a curfew, the entire Chang'an City is a square city, after the night, all the square markets will be closed, and a closed small environment will be formed.

But tonight was a little different, the market opened silently, and then seven or eight figures walked out.

Wang Xuanjing, escorted by several guards, soon came to the back door of the Qin Palace. Wang Xuanlie, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately took Wang Xuanjing in.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Qin." Wang Xuanjing said.

"Prince, please get up quickly." Li Shimin hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"I wonder what the prince is here tonight?" Li Shimin is very clear about the current situation in the court, the court is basically surrounded by the prince, and the Wang family also supports the prince on the surface, only he and a few people know the true tendency of the Wang family.

Now that Wang Xuanjing is coming at night, there must be something urgent.

"Your Majesty decided to appoint the crown prince as the commander and lead the army to Hebei and Shandong to crusade against Liu Heimin." Wang Xuanjing was not polite and said directly.

Li Shimin's figure paused for an instant, and then recovered. Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Shimin still felt sad.

"The eldest brother is familiar with government affairs but not military affairs, is it sure to lead the army this time?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Hebei and Shandong have gone through several wars, and they have not recuperated, and they are no longer able to support it." Wang Xuanjing said.

"Your Majesty has decided to appease the Hebei Shandong Gate Valve Family."

Li Shiming also understood that in the battle of Luoshui, Liu Heimin was already short of food and grass, and winning this time would not change anything. Even if there are some of the Hebei gate valve families, there will not be too many.

This time, as long as the prince comes forward to appease, does not blame the past, and promises an official position, many people will choose to submit, and without the support of scholars and nobles, what if Liu Heimin can fight again?

"It seems that Hebei and Shandong are going to be really pacified this time!" Li Shimin said.

"It's not just that Hebei and Shandong are going to be pacified, but Your Highness has forgotten that the gate valve families in these two places are also going to enter the court, and in addition to them, there is also Youzhou Luo Yi." Wang Xuanjing reminded.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "Father still thinks more highly of his brother!" ”

The great achievement of recovering Hebei and Shandong is just that, and the princes of the two places are also the princes who went to appease, which means that his battles are completely in vain, and the governor of Eastern Shaanxi Province has also become an ornament.

The gate valve families in Shandong and Hebei were in contact with the prince, and they were also appeased by the prince, so they were naturally willing to follow the prince, and the prince was still the prince.

The Guanzhong nobles were Li Yuan's supporters, and Hebei and Shandong were the prince's supporters, and he only had some limited forces around him.

Li Shimin understands that his father still values the prince more, and what he said verbally before was to make him the prince was just talking, after several times, Li Shimin was disappointed again and again, and he was about to despair.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the former Sui Yang Yong and Yang Guanghu?" Wang Xuanjing said.
