A piece of military article was placed on Li Yuan’s desk.

Li Yuan frowned and was speechless. Xijing and Dongdu were more than 800 miles apart, but he already felt the heavy pressure, although he had known that the showdown was inevitable.

He even doubted whether the decision he made was correct.

Of course, few people know about his decision.

If you do it again, every time Li Yuan thinks of this, it is actually no different from the Huanhong Line. He will most likely choose this path. This path is his choice. He must go on and have no choice. Like Dou Jiande and Xiao Buyi, he has no way to turn around. The three of them are destined to be able to live one!

Although they are the image of emperors, their chances of survival are even lower than those of the people.

He could not lose his morale first, because it is unknown who will win. He has mobilized all the powers that can be mobilized in the world and is ready to fight Xiao Buyi to the death.

The secret schemes of these years are finally coming and it is time to come into play.

Huan Jiande was defeated again, which was not beyond his expectations. Because at the beginning, he did not expect Huan Jiande to win. Dou Jiande was still a muddy leg after all, and under the squeezing of him and Xiao Buyi, all his weaknesses and shortcomings exploded.

Huanjiande seems calm, but in fact he has no ambitions. "Every time Li Yuan thinks of this, he has a sarcasm in his eyes.

This sign has been precursored. Everyone thinks that Dou Jiande and Xue Shixiong cannot win a battle. In fact, even Dou Jiande himself did not expect to win. But things in the world are often so funny, but Dou Jiande won. Huan Jiande not only won the Sui army, but also won Hebei, and even won the qualification to compete for the world.

But Mo Jiande was not ready. He was too indecisive and too unambitious. He got Hebei, just like a nouveau riche who suddenly inherited a wealth of thousands of yuan, but did not know how to use it. Compared to him, Li Yuan aimed at Taiyuan early, aiming to win the overlord's career in Guanzhong, and compared to Xiao Buyi early, he took Xiangyang early and planned to plan for the eastern capital Jiangnan, Dou Jiande seemed very naive in the process of fighting for the world.

If a son is not careful, he will lose all the game. Dou Jiande is all wrong moves, so it would be strange if he doesn't lose.

When Li Yuan thought of this, he felt a little depressed. He was not depressed by Huan Jiande's loss, but rather distressed by Pei Ju, and Yang Shanhui also lost all of it.

Pei Ju really disappointed him. Li Yuan clenched his fists and smashed them on the table with a serious expression.

Taiping Road has actually suffered heavy losses to this day. Li Yuan only hopes that Pei Ju can kill Xiao Buyi, so even if he faces Pei Ju, he will not be so difficult to fight against Pei Ju. But man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. The rudder Buyi is unstoppable and escapes another disaster. In the end, it seems that he and Xiao Buyi will still decide the outcome.

In the Battle of Jishui, the Hebei army suffered heavy losses. Although Dou Jiande still had soldiers, the good generals almost lost all. Huanjiande retreated to Niukou, hoping that Yang Shanhui would win by surprise. Of course, Dou Jiande didn't know that Pei Ju was also involved, otherwise he would not trust Yang Shanhui as much as possible.

Yang Shanhui analyzed the truth. Sure enough, when Xiao Buyi entered the guru, Xiao Buyi took the opportunity to set up a killing situation, killed Pei Ju's arm, and counterattacked hundreds of elites of Yang Shanhui. Dou Jiande knew that there was no hope of turning over, so he retreated in panic. But he was still worried about Yang Shanhui, so he ordered Liu Ya, Yang Shanhui to cut off the rear together and lead the troops to retreat to Liyang. Unexpectedly, Xiao Buyi actually guessed that they were going to run away, and at Feilong Ferry, the ghost saw the ambush. As a result, Yang Shanhui was indeed extraordinary. The soldiers led by the soldiers turned around safely, but Liu Ya was defeated by Qin Shubao, and thousands of subordinates were lost, and only a dozen cavalry left to escape to Liyang.

Dou Jiande led his troops eastward, crossed the canal, and arrived in the Lanzao County, and fought a fierce battle with Cheng Yaojin who suddenly came. The Hebei army was eager to return and allowed Cheng Yaojin to win another game.

When Dou Jiande retreated to Liyang, more than 80,000 troops lost another 10,000 or 20,000, and his morale was depressed.

Dou Jiande was defeated and had no temper. He asked Wang Fubao and Liu Heihe to abandon Dongping, cross the Yellow River to the north bank, and guarded Linhe and Wuyang counties, and temporarily opposite Zhangzhen Zhou.

Although Luo Shixin strongly opposed it, he said that this would almost give up the entire Shandong territory that he had obtained after giving up, which would accelerate Xu Yuanlang's surrender. But after all, Dou Jiande was the most important, and Luo Shixin had already broken his trust in Dou Jiande, and his opposition was invalid.

Li Yuan actually understood Dou Jiande's idea. At the moment, the Western Liang army was full of momentum and began to fight back with all its might. Huan Jiande was afraid that his strength would be damaged again, so he simply gave up the occupied land and shrank in Hebei, and wanted to fight Xiao Buyi in a stalemate.

The Xiliang Army is now divided into three groups, one by the Henei Tonggu Shou, led the troops, took back Xinxiang, advanced to Wei County, and faced Liyang. The other route was commanded by Xiao Buyi, Wei Shubao was appointed as the general manager of the marching, sent troops from Rongyang, recaptured Jiyin and Dongjun, and across the river from Liyang. The other route was Zhang Zhenzhou's army. Because Wang Fubao retreated to defend north of the Yellow River, Zhang Zhenzhou sent troops from Dongping to attack Lu County, and the troops surrounded Rencheng, and Xu Yuanlang was in a desperate situation!

This is undoubtedly a cruel thing for Xu Yuanlang, because he had hope. What else is more cruel than hope that he has just risen and is broken?

Xiao Buyi's intention is already very obvious. To fight against Hebei, destroy Xu Yuanlang first, and then take all the lands in Shandong!

Huan Jiande was hesitant and lost his chances again and again, but Xiao Buyi's fighting intention was extremely firm and steady.

Every time Li Yuan thought of this, he couldn't help but thrust in. Looking at the military text on the table, he even forgot the current battle.

Pei Ji, Tang Jian, Yin Kaishan and Changsun Shunde were all beside Li Yuan. Seeing that Li Yuan's face was unchanging, he had to remain silent.

Li Yuan looked at the four ministers and finally spoke: "Xiao Buyi is so arrogant. I wonder what suggestions do you have?" Pei Ji suggested: "The current sage and Liu Wu and Zhou Jiaojin are at critical moments. Song Jingang is not able to win the morale of the army, and they have suffered repeated defeats. The morale of the army is floating. Yuchi Jingde and the prince are in a stalemate. With the prince's plan, there is no need to worry about this person. As long as the King of Qin can defeat the main force of Song Jinzhou in one fell swoop, it is just around the corner to beat Liu Wuzhou. "Li Yuan frowned and said: "I am talking about the matter of the Eastern Capital." Pei Ji said hurriedly: "Defeat Song Jingang and beat Liu Wuzhou, and the Hedong is stable. At that time, the Emperor can naturally send troops to advance eastward, so he can visit the Eastern Capital.

"Li Yuan turned his head and looked at Tang Jian and Yin Kaishan, and asked, "What do you think?" Both ministers said, "Pei Pushe said very well." Li Yuan was silent for a long time and was speechless. It turned out that after Liu's father-in-law Jing rebelled, he disappeared and there was no news. Li Yuan was secretly angry and almost killed Shi Wanbao because of this. Of course, he knew that Liu Wenjing was very tricky, and after running away, he didn't know how much trouble he would cause him in the future. However, Shi Wanbao and Liu Wenjing were both Li Shimin's confidants. Li Shimin was confused when he heard Liu's father-in-law Jing rebelled, but he had no time to tell the difference and could only save Shi Wanbao. Li Yuan took into account Li Shimin's face.

Zi, spared Shi Wanbao's life. But since then, he favored Pei Ji even more and appointed Pei Ji as the Minister of Shangshu Pushe. The highest position was the Minister of Shangshu Ling. Li Tang inherited the official position of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but it was taboo that the Minister of Shangshu Ling was too powerful and kept empty. Under the Minister of Shangshu Ling, he buried Shangshu Pushe and Li Yuan granted Pei Ji this position. It can be said that he was very respectful to him. Pei Ji was well aware of Li Yuan's heart and was very good at observing words and expressions, so that he could get this high position. However, Pei Ji's talent was limited and it was even more common to lead troops. Every time Li Yuan asked for advice, he felt that Pei Ji was still a little worse in this aspect and could not tell what he thought.

If Liu Wenjing was... Thinking of this, Li Yuan shook his head and drove out this idea.

He would rather be obedient and incompetent subordinates than use the rebellious genius as a wild genius.

With his eyes falling on Changsun Shunde, Li Yuanruo hoped to ask, "Mr. Changsun, I wonder what you have to do to hold Xiao Buyi's pace?" "In fact, what Pei Pushe said is not bad. "Changsun Shunde said cautiously: "The biggest enemy at the moment is Liu Wuzhou, and you should not be distracted. As long as you defeat Liu Wuzhou the fastest, it is considered to be holding Xiao Buyi's pace." He said simply and clearly, sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. To defeat your opponent, you cannot expect the enemy to stop, but be faster than the enemy!

Li Yuan's eyes lit up and he finally nodded and said, "Mr. Changsun said very well, but according to your opinion, Shimin is sure to go to fight?" "You can win in five days." Changzhao Shunde said in a deep voice.

The ministers were surprised, and Li Yuan was excited. Why was Mr. Changsun so sure? "Changsun Shunde said: "Our stalemate for more than half a year has been effective. According to reliable news, the Song Jinzhou army only had enough food and grass for five days. And the army that escorted the food and grass will arrive in three days. "Li Yuan pretended to understand and came here." As long as we sent a surprise soldier to burn its food and grass, then Song Jin.com will naturally be defeated without fighting?" In fact, Li Yuan had known these for a long time. He said it now to encourage the confidence of the ministers. Of course, it also requires skills, and it takes even more time to release good news.

Changsun Shunde cooperated and said, "That's right." As expected, Pei Ji and others were worried, but when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel energetic and asked, "Really?" They have endured for too long. Over the past few days, they have heard more news about Xiao Buyi's battle than they did when they heard about him. It is hard to hide their excitement when they know that the defeat of Liu Wuzhou is right in front of them.

Li Yuan was very satisfied with this morale-boosting result, and the next step was to choose generals to send troops to attack Song Jingang's food route. This time, he was bound to win. When Pei Ji and others would not be sent, he would contact the veteran general Qu Tu and select good generals to do this.

Now Li Yuan is in charge of Puzi and is very close to Li Shimin, so he is afraid that his son will make any mistakes.

When the ministers retreated and only Changsun Shunde was left, Li Yuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Shunde, the grasslands are all... how?" Changsun Shunde was confused for a moment. "The grasslands are like the past, and people are still hard to do." After so many years, have you not forgotten it?" There was a rare sympathy in Li Yuan's eyes.

Changsun Shunde came back to his senses. ", Master, I forgot my feelings for a moment, please forgive me." Li Yuan said lightly: "You are not forgetting your feelings, but affectionate. Everyone in the world thinks that you have betrayed the princess of a daughter, but I know, you won't!" Changsun Shunde's eyes were filled with gratitude like a storm, and there were only faint ripples left in a flash, ", Xie Sheng Shang. "This trip to the grassland..." Li Yuan wanted to say something but stopped.

Changsun Shunde shook his head and said, "The merits of the grassland have nothing to do with me. I have not fulfilled my strength, and I feel ashamed." Li Yuan frowned and said, "Shunde, you seem to be quite dissatisfied with asking for help from the Turks this time?", Wei Jing did not dare. "Changsun Shunde." Do you dare not? Instead of complaining?" Li Yuan sighed heavily, "Shunde, I actually had no choice but to know Xun", "You want to speak but stop, Li Yuan changed his expression." Although I value and trust Pei Ji, it was because of the old feelings.

You should know that when I was in a downturn, he not only encouraged me, but also helped me. But in my heart, you are actually a hundred times better than Pei Ji. But you always refuse my many rewards..., ", Wei Chen was actually discouraged and wanted to live in the world. "Changsun Shunde Wei sighed: "If you get the emperor's kindness, you should devote yourself to your whole life. Only after the world is settled, you will retire, and your wish is enough!" "Who do you think can you get this world?" Li Yuan asked suddenly.

Changsun Shunde smiled bitterly and said, "I don't dare to guess and make excuses for others. But the Turks are forgetting their righteousness when they see profit. This time, we are no different from attracting wolves into the house. I am afraid that there will be endless troubles, but it is more dangerous than Xiao Buyi. "Li Yuan snorted coldly and changed the topic." Shunde, I know that you are sad about the death of Princess Qianjin, but the past is like smoke and is in chaos. If the head of the Changsun family is here, he would not want to see you so depressed! If you want to leave for a long time, the family is in a chaotic world, and you need to revitalize..." Seeing Changsun Shunde lowering his head, he did not answer, Li Yuan felt a little dissatisfied, and suddenly felt regretful. "Shunde, you are tired, go back and rest." Changsun Shunde stood up and bowed and left slowly.

Li Yuan looked at Changsun Shunde's back and slapped the table hard. He wanted to say something, but finally stopped. He ordered the palace servants to say: "Prince Xuan saw the emperor." Changsun Shunde left the palace and was lazy and unable to lift his energy.

Although he is smart, he is always so decadent. It seems that there is nothing in this world that can attract his interest.

Before he could return to the mansion, he saw two people entangled in the distance. Changsun Shunde frowned and stopped. The two of them were arguing with the wind, which was quite intense.

It was Li Caiyu and Chai Shao again. Changsun Shunde shook his head and didn't want to move forward. Seeing the two figures under the tree, he suddenly remembered the beautiful and elegant face that was frowning in frown.

After the wind, tears scars were left. Changsun Shunde raised his head and looked at the white clouds and blue sky..." How can I be satisfied with you?, "Chai Shao, you don't have to satisfy me." Li Caiyu's cold tone was like cold frost and cold snow.

"Caiyu, I have done something wrong to you in my life. I really want to... I want to correct it very much, but why don't you give me a chance? Have you forgotten our original promise, have you forgotten that we were also under this green tree, we..." "I only know that even my slave, Ma Sanbao, is much better than you now!" Li Caiyu said with a expressionless face.

Chai Shao staggered back and suddenly burst out. "It's Ma Sanbao again. You haven't said that Ma Sanbao for a day. You said, have you changed your heart and fall in love with him?" Li Caiyu raised his eyebrows. "Whatever you say!" When she got angry, Chai Shao softened." Caiyu, I didn't mean it, please forgive me." He begged softly, and Li Caiyu's tone finally softened." Chai Shao, I have told you many times, we... are not suitable!" "You are lying!" Chai Shao said angrily: "We are the best match for heaven." He looked like crazy, regardless of the people all over the street.

Li Caiyu ignored her and turned around and left. Chai Shao grabbed her arm. "Caiyu, where are you going?"

"You can catch me for a while, but you can't catch me for a lifetime." Li Caiyu brushed her sleeves and shook off the snow, "I'll go see my father and ask my father to terminate your engagement."

Chai Shao was stunned and let go of his hand in a daze. It took him a lot of time to realize that Li Caiyu had disappeared. He hurriedly ran along the long street, with only one thought in his mind, that is, he must not lose Caiyu.

Looking at Chai Shao's back as he was gone, Changsun Shunde actually wanted to say something to him, feelings are like sand in his hands. The tighter you hold, the more you lose. But until the background disappeared at the end of the long street, he did not move. Because he felt that he was not qualified to say that!

Since the death of Princess Qianjin, he has no feelings, nor has the qualifications to evaluate other people's feelings, because... he is not worthy!

When he reached out to touch the tree beside him, Changsun Shunde only felt that the sky was gray, the clouds were bleak, and the trees were haggard. Even the manic and hot summer wind that made people mad, was still biting cold.

The figure in front of him was hazy, Changsun Shunde squatted down and called out almost moaning, "Fang'er..."

The fragrance is in the sky, in the clouds, in the wind, "but only is it not by his side!

When Chai Shao was running wildly along the street, Li Caiyu had arrived in front of Li Yuan. Li Xiaogong sat beside Li Yuan. When the two of them stopped the topic at the same time when they saw Li Caiyu coming in, they were full of surprise.

Li Yuan had a little anger on his face, "Caiyu" "I didn't ask you to come in!"

Li Xiaogong slowly stood up, "Master, I will leave first."

Li Yuan did not try to keep him, and Li Xiaogong walked forward under the leadership of the palace servant. When he walked out of the palace, he heard Li Caiyu say something, "Dad, I ask you to terminate my engagement with Chai Shao!"

Li Xiaogong was slightly stunned and accelerated his pace. Unexpectedly, a person rushed over in front of the palace. Li Xiaogong was hit by him and fell down to the sky, feeling embarrassed.

It was Chai Shao who bumped into the person. Seeing Li Xiaogong's embarrassment, even though he was anxious, he couldn't help but bend down, help Li Xiaogong up, and said repeatedly: "Prince, I'm in a panic for a moment, please forgive me." Seeing Li Xiaogong's strangeness, for some reason, a chill surged on the back of Chai Shao. But he was filled with anxiety and sadness. He grabbed Li Xiaogong's hand and insisted on letting go.

Li Xiaogong suddenly smiled, "Since I became what I am now, no one has ever caught me as kindly as Mr. Chai." His tone was full of emotion, mocking the coldness of the world and the human relationship was like paper.

But it was like comforting and enlightening Chai Shao, don’t be hurt by love. So Wa hindered Chai Shao’s self-deprecating smile, and suddenly there was a strange feeling, that is, the one who was pitiful was himself, not Li Xiaogong in front of him!

Li Yuan blinked his eyes when he heard his daughter's request, and for a moment he was confused, "What did you say?"

"I'll ask my father to terminate my engagement with Chai Shao." Li Caiyu said in a good mood.

Li Yuan frowned his eyebrows, feeling unhappy. He felt that he was really declining. Li Shimin had just begun to become a weapon, and Li Yuanji set fire in the backyard again. Now that the enemy is in front of him, his daughter, whom he has always trusted, actually mentioned such trivial matters to him?

"Go back!" Li Yuan said.

"What?" Li Caiyu was confused for a moment.

"I said I'll let you go back." Li Yuan raised his face and said, "Caiyu, in this extraordinary period, why are you so ignorant? You turned against your father for Chai Shao, but now you are for whom you want to break up with Chai Shao? A daughter like you really makes your father feel heartbroken!"

What he said was already very strict, but after he finished speaking, Li Yuan's face looked a little strange.

Li Caiyu said angrily: "It's not for anyone, but for my choice. Is my daughter just a good product in your eyes? When you saw Xiao Buyi's goodness, you tried every means to get your daughter married, and they would not hesitate to distract Chai Shao and me! Now I am as you wish..."

Po Shengmi "Caiyu!" Li Yuan's tone was already quite shrill, but his eyes looked behind his daughter.

Li Caiyu was excited and did not pay attention to Li Yuan's abnormality. He shouted: "Now Chai Shao is indeed as you said, it is not a good person, but why do you still want your daughter to marry him? Is it just because his Chai family is a great gentry, and you want to get their support?"

"Enough!" Li Yuan slapped in the face, and his face turned angry.

With a loud bang, the hall was silent. Li Caiyu covered her face and took two steps back, unable to believe it. Li Yuan then said: "Chai Shao, Caiyu is ignorant, you...,"

Li Caiyu turned his head suddenly and realized that at some point Chai Shao was standing behind her, his face pale and shaking.

There was no uneasiness in his heart, but he felt relieved. Li Caiyu said, "Chai Shao, have you heard it?"

Li Yuan said coldly: "So what can I do when I hear it? I have wanted to hold this marriage, but I always have busy affairs. Now the enemy is the first to defeat Song Jingang and Chai Shao. I will make the decision and betroth Caiyu to you."

Li Caiyu left angrily and never looked back. It took Chai Shao a lot of time before he came to his senses.

I felt that my body did not belong to me, and my voice did not belong to me, but I still clearly heard myself say something, "Okay!"

Chai Shao didn't know how he left the palace, how he got to the wall, and what Li Shimin said to him.

There was only one thought in his mind that he could marry Caiyu and prevent Caiyu from leaving him.

He could not leave Caiyu. If he left Caiyu, he would rather die!

When a man is infatuated, he is sometimes more resentful than a young woman in the waiting hall; when a man is infatuated, he is sometimes more brave than a tiger in heat. When a man is infatuated, he often doesn’t know what he is doing.

Women are infatuated with sorrow, while men are infatuated with fighting spirit.

Chai Shao only saw surprised faces passing by with various expressions, but he was no longer interested. He did not blame Li Shimin or Li Yuan. He just wanted to win his own love again with his own hands.

As for whether love belongs to him, he did not consider it.

The soldiers under Song Jinzhou became Ma Sanbao who hated the abomination at that moment. When Chai Shao heard the sound of drums, he rushed over with the lead.

Without love, I would rather die!

The moment he broke into the enemy's formation, he didn't know that Li Caiyu, who was fighting for, was quietly speaking to someone beside him: "Sanbao, if one day there is a woman who hopes that you will take her away, go to thousands of mountains and rivers, and stay away from all the grievances here, will you be willing to accompany her for a long time?"
