Chapter 613: This Is a Pit

On the third day, Li Shimin was sleeping, when Hou Junji suddenly broke in and said loudly: "Your Highness, Li Xin's soldiers and horses have been dispatched, heading towards Guanzhou and Bianzhou. ”

Li Shimin woke up from his sleep suddenly, put a big coat on the outside, and said to Hou Junji: "Go, please come to Mr. Fang." And Mr. Wei was also invited. Li Shimin remembered very clearly, and invited both of them over in one go, and he still wanted to subdue Wei Zheng!

After half a ring, after Li Shimin cleaned up, he saw the two of them in the study and said: "It seems that Guanzhou and Bianzhou have fallen into the hands of Li Xin, Li Xin is going to impose defense in two directions, plus Pei Yuanqing of the Tiger Prison Pass, he can set us in the Xingyang area, and the shot is so ruthless!" Li Shimin looked at the situation on the map, sighed slightly, if it weren't for the fact that his plan was not leaked, he was a little suspicious, did Li Xin deliberately do this, gave Xingyang to himself, and dragged his army of 60,000 in one go.

"How many soldiers and horses did Li Xin send to the two states?" Fang Xuanling asked seriously.

"About 20,000 people." Li Shimin said to Hou Junji.

"Hehe, I'm afraid King Tang really wants to drag us here, the two states add up to 60,000 people, no more, no less, just the same as Xingyang." Wei Zheng said with a smile: "This time, King Qin, Xingyang is not so easy to occupy. ”

"Does Xuancheng want to let Gu give up Xingyang?" Li Shimin said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, if King Qin plays this game of chess, he can only leave Xingyang." Wei Zheng didn't think about it and said: "Xingyang is a huge burden, King Qin is now under a big burden, it is difficult to leave, but staying is not good for the overall situation." In Xingyang, it is to take care of the Zheng family's home and leave here. Back to Hebei, Hebei is the foundation of the King of Qin, it took five to ten years to govern the land of Hebei, appease the people, train the army, and maybe it is possible to compete with the Tang King, otherwise, between five and ten years, the Tang King will definitely go north, at that time. What should the King of Qin use to resist the attack of the King of Tang in the face of the chaotic Hebei? ”

Fang Xuanling touched his beard, there was a hint of thought between his eyebrows, and he had to admit that although Wei Zheng's words were very harsh, what he said made sense, although Xingyang was a bridgehead, but it held back Li Shimin's troops, and 60,000 troops was a very huge number for Li Zhao. How many troops does Li Zhao have now. Especially after the destruction of the Turks, I am afraid that the army will be even less, and leaving 60,000 people in Xingyang is not cost-effective at all.

"At least we have dragged Li Xin's 60,000 army." Li Shimin said with a strong smile. In fact, he himself regretted it. But he knows better that Xingyang cannot be lost, not only from a military point of view, but also from a political point of view. Li Zhao was unstable because of the affairs in Hebei, and he urgently needed a victory or a city to stabilize the hearts of the people in Hebei. What's more, the Zheng family in Xingyang is one of the five surnames and seven wangs, and if Xingyang is lost, is the Zheng family still the original Zheng family?

After Wei Zheng heard this, he just smiled faintly and didn't continue to say anything, but his smile was a silent ridicule in Li Shimin's eyes, and his mood instantly became even worse.

"Your Highness, Li Xinbazhai has set up camp." Hou Junji's voice outside came again.

"Got camped?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, stood up suddenly, walked out of the study, asked people to prepare war horses, and came straight towards the city wall. Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng also followed.

When everyone arrived at the city wall, they saw a chaos in Li Xin's camp, countless soldiers stood there quietly, full of elite cavalry, these cavalrymen were wearing black armor, holding spears in their hands, and carrying big knives at their waists. It's just that Li Xin is really sure that he won't attack Guanzhou and Bianzhou?

"Tang Wang Xingbing, clean and neat, you can leave if you want to, this is the grandeur!" Wei Zheng's piercing voice sounded in Li Shimin's ears again, Li Shimin's fists clenched tightly, how could he not want to leave the quagmire of Xingyang now, but his identity determined that he couldn't do this, if he really left, Xingyang Zheng didn't know how to say himself in front of Li Yuan!

"Li Xin should have gone to Luoyang. Wang Shichong is finished. Xu Shiji's face was gloomy, Li Xin would not die, the humiliation on his body would never disappear, he originally thought that he could take advantage of it this time, but now looking at Li Shimin's face, he also knows that this time I am afraid that things are not so simple. This time Li Xin led 10,000 guards to Luoyang, which shows that Li Xin didn't care about the affairs of Henan at all, to solve Luoyang Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong himself did not dare to fight in front of Li Jing, and now as soon as Li Xin's army arrives in Luoyang, Wang Shichong is afraid that he will surrender, Li Xin is powerful, and he can no longer stop it. Xu Shiji suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Let's leave here and go to Hedong, I don't believe that we defeated Li Xin." Li Shimin snorted coldly and said: "Leave 40,000 troops to sit in Luoyang, Mao Gong, you are the general of Xingyang, if you have the opportunity, you will seize Guanzhou and Bianzhou, if you don't have the opportunity, you can hold Luoyang alive, and when we take Hedong, we will fight a decisive battle with Li Xin." ”

"Yes." Xu Shiji hurriedly said. Under Li Shimin's command, only Xu Shiji has a handsome talent who stands alone, and others such as Hou Junji, You Junda, Yin Kaishan and others are much worse.

Li Xin doesn't know Li Shimin's moves, even if he knows, he won't take it to heart, he is mainly dealing with Wang Shichong this time, as for the land of Henan, how much can be occupied, Luoyang is the top priority, the army roars, the iron cavalry shocks the Quartet, the prestige of the guards makes the bandits along the way look at the flag and flee, where dare Li Xin's trouble.

Pei Yuanqing took over in the Tiger Prison Pass, he is now much more mature, compared with that year, although his face is still a little immature, but his bearing is very calm, but there are some generals.

"Prime Minister." Pei Yuanqing greeted him and said, "The prime minister has returned triumphantly, and the last general will come to see him!" ”

"Yuanqing, forget about this triumph! was put on a table by Li Shimin, and the fat to his mouth was taken away by Li Shimin, and he was dissatisfied! Let's go, let's go inside! Li Xin didn't care about leading everyone and said, "How is the situation with the general?" What has changed in Luoyang City now? ”

"Luoyang City has run out of grain, although the general sent people to send a lot of grain with trebuchets, but the last general seems that very little of this grain can reach the hands of the common people." Pei Yuanqing hurriedly said.

"Well, Luoyang can't wait, can't wait for Lone to enter Luoyang, Luoyang has become a dead city, Lone will no longer rest here, get something to eat, and go to Luoyang." Li Xin nodded and said.

"Prime Minister, the last general wants to go to Luoyang." Pei Yuanqing hurriedly said.

"You're going to Luoyang? Who guards the Tiger Prison? You go and ask those generals, who wants to guard the tiger prison? Li Xin smiled and pointed at Wei Chigong and the others and said, Pei Yuanqing looked over, but everyone turned their heads one after another, as if they didn't know, and Pei Yuanqing, who was angry, was on fire in his heart. Everyone knows that the capture of Luoyang is a war achievement, and how much credit can be given to staying in the Tiger Prison Pass? These guys aren't a good thing.

"Good life guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Shimin probably won't stay in Xingyang for long, after he leaves Xingyang, the one who stays in Xingyang will be Xu Shiji, this Xu Ran still has a hand in using soldiers, he used troops by surprise, now it is Guo Xiaoke who is sitting in Guanzhou, Zhang Zhenzhou of Bianzhou, Zhang Zhenzhou is calm, lonely but not worried, I am worried about you and Guo Xiaoke, but Guanzhou is lost, but the Tiger Prison Pass can not be lost, can not fight without authorization, even if it is received from Guanzhou for help, it is not out of the pass."

"Yes, the Admiral understands." Pei Yuanqing hurriedly said, although he didn't care about Xu Shiji, and he didn't believe that Xu Shiji had the courage to sneak attack the Tiger Prison, but he still listened carefully to Li Xin's orders.

Li Xin only rested for an hour in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the army headed towards Luoyang, Li Jing personally led many generals to greet him, the momentum was huge, and the defenders of Luoyang had already seen it clearly, and when the Chinese army was replaced by the golden dragon sword and shield flag, he immediately knew that Li Xin personally led the army to come, and his heart was shocked, and his morale was reduced again.

"It's still a general, this is comfortable!" In the big tent, Li Xin and Li Jing sat down separately and said: "A little Wang Shichong actually asked you and me to come together, I really look up to him." ”

"The prime minister played Li Shimin in Xingyang, and forced Li Shimin to gather heavy troops in Xingyang, which is called majesty!" Li Jing said with a smile.

"Brother Jing doesn't have to look at me with gold on my face, this time I miscalculated the righteousness, and the courage of the Zheng family in Xingyang is not ordinary." Li Xin patted his thigh and said: "I also have a lot of ability, and I can actually cooperate with the inside and the outside to seize Xingyang." ”

"Li Shimin must have regretted it at this time." Li Jing said with a smile: "Although this person is the enemy of the prime minister, but in some aspects it is almost the same as the prime minister, the last general has read some information in Hebei these days, and found that many people in Hebei, large and small, have suffered military disasters, although on the surface they were all killed by the Turks, but I think that Li Shimin may have played a lot of roles in it." ”

"Brother Jing is saying that Li Shimin is eradicating the family?" Li Xin said in surprise. I was shocked in my heart, I didn't expect Li Shimin to use such violent means to eradicate the family in Hebei, but I didn't expect it.

"I'm afraid this Li Shimin wants to use Hebei as the foundation to build a small court outside Taiyuan, after all, in Taiyuan, that is Li Jiancheng's territory, no matter how great Li Shimin's skills are, he can't change the fact that he is not the prince." Li Jing analyzed: "Most of the people in the DPRK support Li Jiancheng, if those families in the people also support Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin will really become the king of Qin forever, and only by establishing a foundation in Hebei can he make a difference."
