Xue Ju died, and the first strategist of the Western Qin Dynasty, Wei Wei Qing Hao Ming, was stripped of his official position by Xue Renguo and demoted to a concubine. At this time, Xiqin was already a ripe fruit, and he was ready to catch it.

Li Yuan issued an order to make Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the marshal, and led 60,000 troops to the Western Qin.

At this time, Liu Wenjing sacrificed another killer weapon.

Yongle King Guo Zi and descended to the Tang Dynasty.

To say that Guo Zihe, the king of Yongle, was also one of the anti-kings of the 36 roads at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He himself was the general of the Sui Dynasty Zuo Yi Wei Wu Ya Lang. In the eighth year of the Great Cause, he accompanied General Zuo Yiwei to escort the expedition to Goguryeo. Due to Laihu'er's carelessness of the enemy, he fell for the trick of Goguryeo King Gao Yuan, and led 40,000 Sui troops into Pyongyang City unsuspected. After nightfall, he was annihilated by Goguryeo Mo's detachment from Zhiyuan Taizuo, and Lai Hu'er escaped from Pyongyang City with less than 3,000 remnants.

It is said that Wu Yalang did not surrender to Guo Zihe, but also fought hard, and the responsibility for the defeat was not him. However, Yang Guang still sent Guo Zihe to Yulin.

In the last year of the great cause, there was a famine in the county, Guo Zihe and eighteen people who dared to die caught Wang Cai of the county, listed his crimes of not caring for the people, beheaded him, and opened a warehouse to help the poor. He proclaimed himself the king of Yongle, established the era name of Chouping, called his father Taigong, and sent his younger brother Guo Zizheng as Shang Shuling, Guo Ziduan and Guo Zisheng as the left and right servants, with 2,000 cavalry. In the south, he united with Liang Shidu, served the Turks in the north, and sent his younger brother Guo Zisheng as a hostage. Shibi Khan canonized Guo Zihe as the son of Pingyang Tianzi, but he did not dare to take responsibility, so he was reassigned to Wu Lishe.

In July of the first year of Wude, Guo Zihe saw that the Tang Dynasty was powerful and sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty. However, Liu Wenjing suppressed Guo Zihe's lowering table, and he didn't take it out until now.

This shows Guo Zi and surrender, but the meaning is different. First of all, Yulin is located in the north of the capital of the Liang Division, a strong enemy in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, and with Guo Zihe containment, the Liang Division will definitely not be able to attack the Tang Dynasty. In this way, Datang's strategic situation has a lot of space.

At least when Li Shimin led the army to the battle, the morale was boosted and the previous decadence was swept away.

When he returned from attending the court meeting, Li Jiancheng's brows tightened. Once Li Shimin returned victoriously, Liu Wenjing called for the establishment of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, as the crown prince, and he would be even more passive.

"Meritorious service, meritorious service must be made!" Li Jiancheng was suddenly anxious.

But how to make meritorious contributions, Li Jiancheng's eyes were black. At this time, Li Jiancheng suddenly thought of Chen Ying, who was different. Chen should step up military training at this time, could it be that he sees any opportunity to make meritorious contributions?

Thinking of this, the more Li Jiancheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

Li Jiancheng decided to send someone to invite Chen Ying to come to the East Palace to discuss in detail.

"Someone!"

An East Palace guard pushed the door and entered, bowing down: "Please give orders from His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"Go and ask General Chen, who is the second mansion of Wei Xun on the right, to come and visit!"

"No!"

The guard turned and left.

"Wait!"

Li Jiancheng suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, he had nothing to do at this time, so it was better to invite Chen Ying in person, so as to give Chen Ying the impression of a corporal of Lixian, so that he would be willing to assist him.

"Swing and go to General Chen's mansion!"

The guard stood motionless.

Li Jiancheng was stunned, faintly unhappy in his heart.

Seeing that Li Jiancheng's face was not good, the guards hurriedly explained: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know where General Chen's mansion is. ”

"I don't know if I want to check it out? There must be his address on the list of the right guards! ”

The guards hurriedly went to find Chen Ying's address, and delayed for more than two quarters of an hour before boarding the prince's car and slowly walking towards Chen's mansion.

……

Princess Binh Duong's mansion, in the bedroom.

Li Xiuning was dressed in a round-necked turquoise Luo skirt, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, quietly staring at herself in the bronze mirror. A deep sense of helplessness appeared on his face. In the eyes of the world, she is the princess of Pingyang, who is loved by thousands of people, has a young hero's concubine Chai Shao, and also has endless glory and wealth.

However, no one knows the misery in her heart.

In the eyes of others, her concubine Chai Shao seems to be a model of young talent, handsome, personable, courteous, knowledgeable, noble-born, young and golden.

As the saying goes, only your feet know whether the shoes fit or not. Whether his husband is good or not, only he can understand. In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, Li Yuan raised troops. In order to paralyze the imperial court, Li Yuan sent Li Xiuning and Chai Shao to marry in Chang'an.

However, when the news of Li Yuan's rebellion against Sui reached Chang'an, Chai Shao, the concubine who had just visited her, left her alone and ran away alone. is still a bit humane, leaving a letter to tell her, "Your father is about to raise an army to sweep away the troubled times, I plan to go to meet his righteous banner, it is not feasible for us to leave together, the goal is too big." You are a woman, and it is easy to hide when you are in danger. ”

Well, on the night of the candles in the cave room, it is not the saddest thing to be alone in the empty boudoir, the saddest thing is to be abandoned by her husband like her.

Chai Shao abandoned her and escaped alone, which was a thorn in Li Xiuning's heart that could not be pulled out no matter what.

She will never forgive Chai Shao, for the rest of her life, it is absolutely impossible.

Suddenly.

Li Xiuning found that Chen Ying actually appeared in the bronze mirror, especially Chen Ying's almost flawless face, which was still on the Jingyang City Wall, his meticulous thoughtfulness and care.

Maybe Chen Ying didn't know that his inadvertent actions actually touched the softest part of Princess Pingyang's heart.

Lost in an instant, Li Xiuning stared at it, and only then did she realize that the person in the mirror was still herself, and what appeared just now was just her hallucination.

"Hey"

A long sigh, endless loneliness and emptiness.

Li Xiuning didn't know what was wrong, and she always remembered Chen Ying's face inexplicably.

Thinking of Chen Ying, a hint of ruddy appeared on her face.

"It's a pity for this skin!" Li Xiuning muttered, but she couldn't tell the difference herself, but it was a pity that it was her or Chen Ying.

At this moment, the personal maid hurriedly pushed the door in.

"Princess, princess!"

"Cui'er, you're going to die, it's like calling a soul!" Li Xiuning glared at Cui'er and threatened: "If you dare to do this next time, this palace will find you the ugliest husband and marry you!" ”

"Ahh Cui'er said with a crying voice: "Princess, don't, the slave doesn't dare anymore!" ”

Li Xiuning reached out and pinched Cui'er's little nose: "I lied to you, let's say, what the hell is going on?" ”

Cui'er suddenly realized: "General Ma has an urgent matter to see!" ”

"Let him in!"

Li Xiuning didn't notice at all how charming and tempting she was at this time.

Ma Sanbao pushed the door down and knelt in front of Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning was stunned for an instant.

Ma Sanbao was the first veteran to follow her when she started the army. When Chai Shao fled, the news of Li Yuan's army spread to Chang'an, and Chang'an of the Sui Dynasty stayed in the city to arrest Li Yuan's family, and she was the first to be the culprit. The maids and guards around him either fled or were killed by the officers and soldiers, and Li Xiuning took Cui'er, the master and servant and fled into Zhongnan Mountain Nanzhong. If it weren't for Ma Sanbao cutting his arm and using the smell of blood to divert the wolves, Li Xiuning and Cui'er would have died in the wolf's mouth at that time, and there were no bones.

After Li Xiuning raised his troops, Ma Sanbao took the lead and attacked the city. Unstoppable. Ma Sanbao and Li Xiuning, known as master and servant, are like relatives. Li Xiuning allowed Ma Sanbao to withdraw Princess Pingyang's money at will, and he also trusted her unreservedly.

Li Xiuning watched Ma Sanbao kneel down in a dignified manner, and was quite unhappy in his heart: "Sanbao, what are you doing?" ”

Ma Sanbao said: "Please save Chen Ying from the princess, if Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't save him, Sanbao would rather kneel down here and not get up!" ”

After a long time, Li Xiuning reacted and said, "What, what's wrong with Chen Ying?" ”

"He's got into a big mess and messed with people he shouldn't be messed with."

Li Xiuning said: "Talk while walking!" ”

Ma Sanbao followed Li Xiuning on a war horse, and while galloping towards Chen's mansion, he told Li Xiuning about Chen Ying's bad relationship with Li Xiaoguang.

After hearing this, Li Xiuning was silent.

Chen Yingchuang's disaster is really not ordinary, no matter what, Li Xiaoguang is the imperial family, and in terms of seniority, he is Li Yuan's brother and his grandfather. The royal family has the majesty of the royal family that cannot be offended, and once Li Xiaoguang grabs Chen Ying to death, she has no choice.

……

In the courtyard of the Chen Mansion, Gao Wanqing, the county lieutenant of Wannian County, had been tortured to death by the guards of the Marquis of Changguang.

Chen Ying was also thinking about how to end.

Please Princess Pingyang to relieve the siege, whether Princess Pingyang has such a big face, in fact, it is really hard to say, because Princess Pingyang is only a princess, not an emperor.

Li Yuan is not a magnanimous person, back then, the Yin Shi Shi stayed in Chang'an because he dug Li Yuan's ancestral grave, Li Yuan not only slaughtered the Yin Shi Shi full of men. To say that the Yin World Master and Li Yuan have a great enmity with each other, and the Yin World Master was killed because the Yin World Master killed himself, but Dou Jiande also killed him without mercy.

Because Dou Jiande has an excellent reputation in Hebei, plus he has a good governance of Hebei and has a strong connection, Li Yuan is worried that Dou Jiande will threaten his rule, and he will not even leave him a chance to be a rich man.

Now that he has provoked Li Xiaoguang, hitting Li Xiaoguang is equivalent to slapping Li Yuan in the face, can Li Yuan let himself go?

Just when Chen Ying was thinking about it, Su Hu, the main county commander of Wannian County, appeared.

Su Hu actually had to appear, and now that things are so big, he can't pretend to be cowardly now. In desperation, he only had to ask his eldest brother, General Wuwei, to come out.

Although Dou Xian is a general of Wuwei, he is in Chang'an, and he has no soldiers to transfer troops privately, so he can only mobilize his personal guards at most. Fifty elite guards surrounded the Chen Mansion.

These soldiers of the Armed Guards are not the brave infantry archers led by Gao Wanqing.

"Chen Ying, let go of Changguanghou and don't cause trouble in the villagers' workshop."

There is a way that enemies are very red when they meet, if it weren't for Su Hu, why would Chen Ying fall into today's field?

Chen Ying said with red eyes: "Su Hu dog thief, you still dare to come!" ”

"Die or die!" Chen Ying thought about it, as long as Li Xiaoguang was killed, Su Hu would definitely be held accountable.

At this moment, a long shout: "Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang has arrived!" ”

Whether it was the onlookers or the soldiers of the Armed Guards, they were all pushed away simply and rudely by the guards of the Pingyang Princess's Mansion, and the soldiers of the Armed Guards saw that they were the female guards of the Pingyang Princess's Mansion, and they immediately drooped their heads and did not dare to speak.

Li Xiuning pushed everyone away, walked in front of Chen Ying, and scolded sharply: "Chen Ying, have you made enough trouble?" ”
