He left Boling without finding anything, and Li Shimin felt a little upset. He didn't blame his sister for not being willing to contribute to her parents' family. Qier's question was a good one. If his wife still puts the interests of the eldest grandson's family first in her heart after marrying him,
location, and he wouldn't be happy about it.
But thinking about the possible stance of the Boling Army after Taiyuan raised its troops, Li Shimin felt chills in more than one place. From the age of fourteen, he worshiped Li Xu as a hero and dreamed of being able to fight with Li Xu one day when he grew up.
The opponent is galloping on the battlefield at the same time. The day is finally getting closer and closer, but there is a high possibility that they will raise their swords against each other.
"It would be great if Zhong Jian was defeated by the Wagang Army. It would save a lot of trouble in the future!" Deep in his heart, Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly hypothesize. This thought made him feel ashamed, but he was like a child seeing sweets.
Likewise, the temptation cannot be resisted. Li Xu was defeated by Wagang. Regardless of whether he could return to his hometown safely in the end, the Boling Army would be severely weakened in a short period of time. Coupled with the threats of Luo Yi and Dou Jiande, regardless of the impact on Yang Guang
So loyal, Li Xu couldn't be distracted for several years.
It's just that Li Mi is so incompetent! Shimin shook his head and drove this boring and impossible hypothesis out of his heart. The Tang Gongfu had already made a conclusion about Li Mi's personal ability. This man from a wealthy family wanted to hang a book on his horns.
The biggest skill of the guy who is reading while walking is to pretend to be a ghost. It is better that this person is not in front of the two armies. Once he reaches the battle formation, the Wagang Army will definitely be defeated. If you expect him to defeat Li Xu, it is better to expect a sudden heavy snowfall from the sky.
The reality that Boling Jingqi froze to death outside the city of Xingze was unexpected.
But now it is the spring season, and the green apricots in Hebei and Shanxi have grown to the size of the little finger. How can it still snow in Henan? Therefore, what should happen will happen. With Li Zhongjian's character, if he is willing to create Yang Guang's
On the contrary, he is not Li Zhongjian. After crippling the Wagang Army, the next step is that he will return to Hebei with the power of victory to deal with Dou Jiande. Then it will be Luo Yi's turn, Gao Kaidao. These people may not be able to take advantage of him.
Sakura, when Taiyuan raises its troops, it will first have to withstand the attack of Boling Jingqi.
"It would be great if Zhongjian loses. He has been going too smoothly in recent years, so it is difficult for us to conquer him!" Li Shimin is not the only one with ulterior motives. Changsun Shunde has the same idea. But he doesn't care about the future.
This idea is proclaimed, and a high-sounding reason can always be found for it.
"Li Mi is no match for Zhong Jian! Xu Maogong did have a chance to compete with him, but by the time Xu broke through the Xingyang defense line, Zhong Jian's troops would have already invaded the main stronghold of Wagang!" Liu Hongji shook his head,
It rejects the possibility described by Changsun Shunde.
"The most unforgettable kindness is to provide help in times of need. With Zhongjian's character, if he is really defeated at the foot of Wagang Mountain, as long as we in Hedong help him in time, we will not worry about him not paying twelve cents in return in the future.
"Changsun Shunde smiled and continued to dream about his daydreams. "Conquering a person is like training a fierce horse. You have to let him suffer some setbacks before you can control him. Otherwise, even if he appears on the surface,
Once you surrender, it may not be easy to deploy in the future..."
"Chief Changsun is quite right!" Liu Hongji frowned when he heard Changsun Shunde's harsh words, and interrupted his ramblings, "Zhongjian is a hero in this world, how can he be compared to an animal? Besides, even if he is
A good horse is not as weak as you said!"
"Hey, I was just making an analogy, and I don't really regard him as a livestock. A good horse needs a strong master to control it. This hero is naturally driven by a wise king..." Changsun Shunde curled his lips and explained.
Liu Hongji knew that the other party was not very broad-minded, so he did not argue with him. He grabbed the wine bag tied under Ma's neck and drank a few sips, using the excuse of drinking to change the topic.
"Brother Hongji, don't worry about Zhongjian. He can't lose to Li Mi. That's why Uncle Changsun said that there is no chance to realize his dream!" Li Shimin was afraid that the two of them would hurt their harmony, so he quickly reconciled with a smile.
Changsun Shunde didn't understand Shimin's kindness, so he turned his head and said to him with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. Half of the victory or defeat depends on what's going on outside the battlefield. There must be many people who want to see Zhongjian lose the battle.
No matter how they move their hands or feet, it will make it very difficult for our General Li to deal with it!"
"Who is so stupid as to make trouble for Zhong Jian at this time? Could it be that some of the ministers in the dynasty had a close relationship with Li Mi?" Li Shimin didn't believe what Changsun Shunde said and shook his head with a smile.
"At that time, several ministers had no friendship with Dou, but why did they suddenly transfer General Yang Yichen back to Jiangdu when Dou was being killed in front of his eyes?" Sun Shunde, the eldest son, looked back and used his riding whip to get away.
Pointing to the southeast, "Poor General Yang, he fell ill as soon as he returned to Jiangdu and died suddenly. If there weren't some articles here, Shimin, would you believe it?"
"There is indeed something strange!" Li Shimin frowned and responded.
Yang Yichen was ordered to return to Jiangdu at the beginning of last winter. At that time, he was engaged in a fierce battle with Dou Jiande and others. According to rumors, it was Lord Yu who was in charge of the government because he complained to Yang Guang that the trophies sent to Jiangdu by General Yang were not thick enough.
He said: The Hebei bandits have been defeated by Li Xu, so there is no need to leave so many soldiers and horses there. Besides, Yang Yichen has been away with heavy troops for a long time, and his soldiers only know that there is a commander, not an emperor.
For unknown reasons, another man known as a wise man who was involved in government affairs, Mr. Pei Ju, also suggested that His Majesty the Emperor transfer Yang Yichen back to Jiangdu to serve as Minister of War. As a result, Yang Yichen left, and the situation in Hebei changed suddenly.
The generals who stayed to fight against the thieves were defeated one after another at the hands of Dou Jiande. Even Yang Yichen's old team were defeated by the bandits, and not a single scum was left.
Misfortunes never come singly. Just last month, news came from Jiangdu that Yang Yichen died of illness. It is said that before his death, he was facing the northeast and never forgot to go to Pingyuan County to reorganize his old troops, eliminate traitors for the country, and fulfill the agreement between him and Li Xu.
"If Yang Yichen's record is too great, it will be equivalent to exposing the lies about the prosperous age fabricated by Yu and Pei. Therefore, the two of them will naturally not be inferior to the old general. Moreover, Jiangdu currently lacks a veteran general who is accustomed to fighting to balance the strength of the Yuwen family.
"Combining these two considerations, Yang Yichen must go back to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. As for how to make his death look like he is sick, that is the specialty of the Yuwen family, and no one needs to teach him at all?" Seeing Li Shimin's eyes a little confused, Changsun Shunde smiled.
, and said.
The changes in Jiangdu could not be hidden from others, not from the eyes of his eldest grandson Shunde. Because he was familiar with those things. It was just that he had been dormant with the family head under the command of Tang Gong for these years, and he had never had the opportunity to use it. If it were now
If he and Li Mi were in the same place, there would be at least a dozen ways to drive Li Xu into a panic. It was not easy to kill the opponent completely, but driving General Li away from the battlefield was a sure thing.
"But Your Majesty has always believed in Zhong Jian, and it is impossible for him to suddenly become suspicious of him like he did to Old General Yang!" Li Shimin pondered for a moment, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Second Young Master, this is wrong! You have seen our Majesty, which general can you trust for a long time? Zhang Xutuo holds a heavy army and is too close to the east capital, so he will be cut off from supplies. What Zhong Jian has in his hands is
Do you have fewer soldiers and horses than the old general Zhang Xutuo? Besides, the second young master must have forgotten that Zhong Jian’s surname is Li. In terms of speed of rise and popularity, he is only above Li Mi, not below him!" Changsun Shunde
He smiled secretly and analyzed in a low voice.
"Well!" Li Shimin was startled by the sinister expression on Sun Shunde's side, and his eyes widened as if he didn't recognize him. After a long while, he replied very tiredly, "Zhong Jian may be an exception. I have never seen His Majesty.
Treating someone like this is like treating your own biological son or nephew."
"Second Young Master, do you think that the emperor alone is responsible for the situation that the Sui Dynasty has reached?" Changsun Shunde smiled again, showing his full white teeth, all of which shone with a cold light. "No matter how stupid and confused your Majesty is, he is the only one who is confused.
The Great Sui Dynasty would not have been defeated so quickly. I wonder which of the ministers in the court had never added fuel to the fire? Haha, I just pity that idiot Li Zhongjian, who fluttered like a moth into the fire."
"The emperor will not believe those slanders. Everyone knows that Zhong Jian is not like Li Mi. He is alone. Even if he wants to rebel, he has no team!" Li Shimin still shook his head, but his tone of voice became weaker and weaker, and his forehead was shining brightly.
Cold sweat is clearly visible.
"It's not that Zhong Jian doesn't have a team. It's easy to make the emperor believe that Zhong Jian has a team!" Changsun Shunde put away his smile, and the expression on his face suddenly became very solemn. "In fact, although Mr. Tang has not done much to help Zhong Jian these years,
, the outside world still regards him as a member of our Li family! We dominate the Li family! The plum of peach and plum!"
The word "Li" was repeatedly emphasized by him countless times, which made people feel chills on their spines and shivers on their scalp. Li Shimin quickly turned his head away, looking for Liu Hongji who was walking beside him just now, but found that the other person was not there.
I knew when I had already run into the ranks of guards, and now I was carrying a wine bag and drinking happily with my brothers.
"Even if the facts are as Uncle Changsun said, we can't place too much hope on others. To strike, you have to be strong, you have to prepare when you need to prepare, and you have to fight when you need to fight!" After looking back, Tang
Li Shimin, the second son of the prince, said in a low voice. It was just a flash of light, but his face looked as tired as if he had worked hard for thousands of years.
"Second Young Master is right. We have to give Zhongjian the support we deserve. As a family, we can't let others see the joke!" Changsun Shunde smiled and pointed the riding whip in his hand into the distance.
At this moment, he was high-spirited and seemed to have the picturesque country under his control. (To be continued)
