"Father!"

Li Shimin still wanted to fight, he raised his head to look at Li Yuan, and said: "Erchen led the troops to meet Xue Ju, it was the will of your father and emperor at the court meeting of the ministers not long ago.

Now, my father, you have listened to the slander of others and mistakenly thought that your sons and ministers were hiding it...... Erchen, what a wrong! ”

The spearhead is directed at the Yin Shishi, the staff of the prince's mansion.

Prince Li Jiancheng's face sank, and he was about to speak, but the Yin World Master gave him a look.

Li Yuan said angrily: "Supervisor Pei told me that he thinks that King Qin is not suitable for leading troops, and he just hasn't spoken in the court...... On the contrary, it is the crown prince, who has a prestige in the army, and the talent of the generals is not below you, so he is more suitable to lead the troops to meet Xue Ju! You just stay in Chang'an. ”

Pei Jian is Pei Lian, because he served as the palace supervisor of Jinyang, so he has this title.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and only Pei Lin could be so trusted by Li Yuan, every time he went to the court, he sat next to Li Yuan, Li Shimin came to see his father, and he also saw him drinking with his father in the inner garden.

And Pei Liansu and Liu Wenjing were at odds, that day in the court, Liu Wenjing supported him to lead the troops to Longxi alone, and everyone agreed, but Pei Lian did not speak.

It was only at this time that Li Shimin learned that Pei Lin had spoken to Li Yuan against him leading the troops later.

"Erchen wants to ask why his father suddenly changed his mind?"

Li Shimin asked again, his eyes firmly on the Yin World Master.

"I still need to ask you when I decree it?"

"Prince, are you willing to lead the troops into battle?"

Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng, who was kneeling, saluted him and swore: "The son is willing to lead the troops!" For his father, Xue Ju's 100,000 thieves were defeated! ”

"Good! It's my good husband! ”

Li Yuan stroked his beard and laughed, glanced at Li Shimin, and said, "King Qin, step aside." ”

"Father, the master of the underworld provokes ......"

"Get out!"

"Father!"

"Get me out!!"

“……”

Li Shimin couldn't say a word, and he didn't even have a chance to confront the Yin Shishi, so he had to kneel and bow and go out of the Hongwen Palace.

Before walking out of the temple gate, he glanced back at the hall and vaguely saw that the Yin World Master was looking at him, with a smile on his face.

Li Shimin clenched his fists, withdrew his gaze, and walked out of the hall gate.

But he was still not reconciled.

Stay in the inner garden, linger and wait.

Not long after, sure enough, I saw Pei Lian, and Liu Wenjing and the two came almost at the same time.

"Pei Xiang, Mr. Liu!"

Li Shimin hurried up to meet him, and the difference between the two was explained in just one sentence.

Pei Lin is the left servant of Shangshu, the prime minister of the Eight Classics, Liu Wenjing is the acceptance, and his status is far inferior to Pei Lian.

"Your Highness!"

The two returned the salute.

When Li Shimin said that he was taken to lead the army to recruit Xue Ju in Longxi, Liu Wenjing was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly said that he would persuade His Majesty to withdraw his will later, but Pei Lin did not say it.

Li Shimin had to send the two in.

Not long after, Liu Wenjing came out alone, and her face was very ugly.

"Your Majesty asked me and Sima Yin to open the mountain to assist the prince in sending troops."

Li Shimin's face was gloomy.

Liu Wenjing scolded angrily: "Sure enough, the Yin World Master should have been killed that day, it was this remnant of the Sui Dynasty who was behind it!" If the prince leads the troops, can the prince lead the troops? The people he recruited in Hedong are not as good as the people of Princess Pingyang, and the talents of the generals are not more than the qualifications of mediocre people......"

"Mr. Liu!"

Li Shimin stopped him and sighed: "My brother is no less than me in leading the troops, and the men and horses recruited by my brother and I that day are not as good as my third sister, with Mr. Liu assisting my brother, this battle will be won." ”

With that, he took his leave, mounted his horse and left.

This time, he left from the north gate of the inner garden, that is, from the Xuanwu Gate, and he was full of worries along the way.

It's not Xuanwumen.

But it happened suddenly, and he couldn't help but worry.

After returning to the Chengqian Palace.

Li Shimin, who had been thinking about it for a long time, finally rode out of the palace again and found Fang Xuanling.

"Your Highness!"

Fang Xuanling was also looking for him.

Because the men and horses of the prince's mansion have come to take over his work, take command in his place, and prepare grain, grass and horses.

The sudden seizure of power caught Fang Xuanling and everyone in the Qin Wangfu off guard.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Shimin smiled, pulled Fang Xuanling aside, and whispered to him: "That redrawn map, you let people draw it simply, draw the roads and mountains, and the rest don't have to be too detailed, after the drawing is completed, send it to the prince's mansion, and say ...... Let's just say that the scouts in the army found out! ”

Fang Xuanling's face was strange, "Your Highness, where did you get this terrain mountain map from?" If it is inconvenient to tell others, why should it be handed over to the prince? ”

In the previous battles in the army, there was no such detailed topographic map, so they did not fight the war?

Now that the crown prince has suddenly seized the military power of the king of Qin, why should the king of Qin send the map over again?

Send a thousand scouts to walk the mountain road, and you can't draw these pictures!

"I've made up my mind."

Li Shimin didn't answer Fang Xuanling, and what Chu Zhen said came to mind again.

But now, he can only hope that his brother, Liu Wenjing and others can defeat Xue Ju in one battle!

……

Three days later, the crown prince Li Jiancheng was named marshal by Li Yuan, and led 80,000 soldiers and horses to go up the Jing River to meet Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin.

Yin Shishi, Liu Wenjing, Yin Kaishan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, Qu Tutong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, etc., are the staff and chief officials under the marshal's account, and Liu Hongji, the general of the Right Xiaowei, Chai Shao, the general of the Left Yiwei, and Tang Jian, the waiter of the internal history, are the commanders of the army.

On the day of the army's battle, the people in Chang'an City went out of the city to watch and watch the army march.

Li Shimin came to see off his brother.

The brothers released their suspicions, rode their horses and galloped, and shook their right hands vigorously on the horse.

"Brother!"

Li Shimin looked at his eldest brother Li Jiancheng and said his analysis: "This time I went to Gaoji, but I could hold on to the city, Xue Ju's lone army went deep, and the supply of grain and grass was difficult, and he cooperated with the defenders of Jingzhou to attack and encircle in two directions, disturbing its grain route, and not easily going out of the city to fight." Just wait for Xue Ju's troops to be exhausted, and then defeat him in one fell swoop! ”

Li Jiancheng withdrew his right hand that he was shaking with his second brother, and said lightly and heavily: "In the war in the army, the generals under the marshal's account will discuss, and the marshal will make a decision, and the second brother can listen to his father's order in Chang'an." ”

Li Shimin wanted to say something, but Li Jiancheng had already pulled the reins and rode back to the army.

Li Shimin could only watch him leave.

Tens of thousands of troops meandered forward like a long dragon rushing to the battlefield.

Du Ruhui, a staff member of the Qin Palace, glanced at the people around him and said, "If the battle ahead is not smooth, I am afraid that the people in the city will flee again." ”

Xue Ju's father and son had a bad reputation in Longxi, and once the Tang army was defeated, the people in the city did not dare to stay longer.

"In troubled times, the people just want a place to live."

Someone sighed.

Li Shimin glanced at him, this person was Li Jing, one of the guards of the Qin Palace.

When attacking Chang'an, an unknown soldier defending the city showed courage and killed dozens of Tang troops.

After the Yin Shishi surrendered, Li Yuan summoned him over and immediately recognized this person as Li Jing, the commander of Mayi County, who had disappeared when Jinyang raised his army.

Without interrogation, Li Yuan knew that he disappeared that day because he had absconded and wanted to denounce his rebellion.

Li Yuan was furious and wanted to behead Li Jing, Li Jing shouted loudly, and Li Shimin happened to be beside him, so he saved him and asked him to come to the Qin Palace's palace as a personal guard.

"Let's go, go back."

After taking a few glances at the people, Li Shimin turned his head and led the people of the Qin Palace, staff Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Duan Zhixuan, Li Jing, Zheng Rentai, Li Mengwei, Hou Junji and others to return to Chang'an.

He was accompanied by his eldest brother, Sun Wuji.
