Great Sui God of War, great strength at the beginning!

Chapter 275 I Will Not Lose!
Bingzhou Taiyuan
At this time, Li Shimin had only returned to Bingzhou not long ago. Relying on the reputation and reputation of his Li family's painstaking efforts in Bingzhou for many years, Li Shimin began to vigorously recruit talents and soldiers as soon as he returned to Bingzhou, and even reached the point of belligerence.

In Taiyuan City, there is a miniature version of the Luoyang Palace, called Jinyang Palace, which Yang Guang asked Li Yuan to build. Since the Jinyang Palace was built, Yang Guang has lived there for ten days and a half months. The huge palace has been shelved in Taiyuan, but fortunately the Li family has been paying for the maintenance of Jinyang Palace, so today's Jinyang Palace still looks brand new.

As for why the Li family spent a lot of money to maintain this palace, it is conceivable.

At this time, above the main hall of Jinyang Palace, Li Shimin got up just after the third watch and gathered with a group of ministers from Li and Tang.

"Everyone, the news from the front line is very certain. General Xiong Kuohai was killed when he attacked the grain road of the Wu Dynasty!"

"As for Master Hua Jiudao, he was also captured alive by Wang Chen. His life and death are unknown now. There are also my fourth younger brother Yuanba and General Luo Shixin. Luo Shixin has been confirmed to have been killed by Wang Chen. As for my fourth younger brother , disappeared!"

Li Shimin has lost the brilliance of the past. At this time, Li Shimin seems to have aged ten years suddenly, with a lot of white hair growing on his head, his body sitting on the dragon chair is also slightly bent, and his fingers unconsciously He was stuck on the armchair of the dragon chair.

All the ministers and soldiers were speechless for a while, and the entire Jinyang Hall was completely silent at this time, even though there were hundreds of important officials from Li and Tang in the hall.

You know, Luo Shixin and Li Yuanba are Li Tang's pinnacles of calming the sea, but now, one of them is dead and the other is missing, Wang Chen's action really broke Li Tang's arm!
"Shixin, I'm sorry for my brother!"

Standing below, Qin Qiong's face was dull, his eyes were empty, and his eyes were full of remorse. What he hated was not Wang Chen who killed Luo Shixin, nor Li Shimin who made Luo Shixin kill his army, but himself.

There was once a Taoist priest who wanted to take Luo Shixin to practice on the mountain. Although Luo Shixin was not very intelligent, he was extremely filial. , In the end, he had no choice but to give up, but the old Taoist priest told Qin Qiong before leaving that Luo Shixin must not be allowed to go to the battlefield, or sooner or later there will be disasters with swords!
But these years, Qin Qiong has paid less and more attention to those things. Now that the retribution has come, he personally killed his stepbrother, how should he explain to his stepmother?
"Second brother Qin, this king knows, I know that General Luo Shixin is as close as brothers to you, and I also know that there is an old mother in General Luo's family. Don't worry, second brother Qin, this king will not treat Luo's mother badly!"

Li Shimin saw the sadness in Qin Qiong's eyes at a glance, immediately put down his body and walked down the high platform, came to Qin Qiong's side, patted Qin Qiong on the shoulder and comforted him.

"The death of General Luo was the fault of this king. If this king hadn't wanted him and Yuanba's queen, General Luo would not have died. Second brother Qin, this king has apologized to second brother Qin!"

Li Shimin continued to talk, and at the end he bowed generously to Qin Qiong.

"Impossible! Impossible! Thank you Qin Qiong for His Royal Highness King Qin's concern. This is fate. It was Qin Qiong and I who killed Shixin. It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness Qin Qiong!"

Seeing Li Shimin bowing towards him, Qin Shubao quickly stepped forward to support Li Shimin's shoulder, and then comforted himself.

"How can you blame Brother Qin!" Li Shimin suddenly raised his tone, and then continued: "Luo Shixin died at the hands of Wang Chen. Wang Chen killed Luo Shixin himself. We must avenge General Luo. Qin Qiong , Come forward and listen to the seal!"

Li Shimin walked up to the dragon chair and looked sideways at Qin Qiong. His previous decadent posture was swept away, and now standing on the high platform was the Lord Li Tang.

"Qin Qiong is here!"

Qin Qiong was also taken aback by Li Shimin's yell, but he stood up quickly and knelt down on one knee.

"Wang Chen, you are too deceitful. Kill my Tang general, humiliate my Tang army, and bully my Tang general. Could it be that my Tang army has no one? This king will designate you as the Anti-Wu General, and you will face Wang Chen and Qin Shubao in this Taiyuan City, do you dare!?"

Li Shimin's hand can be said to have raised Qin Shubao to the height of a hundred generals, but looking at the current Jinyang Palace, no general has Qin Shubao's talent.

Qin Shubao was extremely moved, and his heart was also extremely excited. He immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his fists.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Qin, for fighting for Tang, Qin Qiong will not rest until death!"

No one in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty stood up and refused this matter.

Because no matter whether it is the high-strength Jieyuan Guoshi, the Taoist Kong Deyang, or the two mysterious monks, although their martial arts in single combat are all superior to Qin Qiong's, they don't know how to lead troops at all. Above the imperial court, only Qin Shubao is the most suitable.

After all, Qin Shubao had once been the Grand Marshal of Wagang, and also the Grand Marshal of the [-]th Route Anti-king Allied Forces against the Sui Dynasty, so he naturally had certain abilities.

Moreover, the ministers of Li and Tang were also happy to see their master sweeping away the haze and regaining his domineering appearance. Can a master who has lost his heart still achieve great things?
But now Li Shimin has not lost his ambition, he is still very confident, and he still wants to fight Wang Chen for the last time!
... At the end of Mao's time...

"Report! Report—"

"Urgent report at [-] miles from Xiangguo County! Urgent report from [-] miles from Xiangguo County!"

In Taiyuan City, early in the morning, there was an urgent call in Taiyuan City.

Li Shimin had just had breakfast, and immediately rushed to the government affairs hall.

"What's going on? Why is Xiangguo County's eight hundred miles rushing!? Could it be that the army of the Wu Dynasty has already surrounded it!"

Li Shimin was in a hurry, which disrupted many of Li Shimin's plans, but it shouldn't be. If the Dawu army came, the battle report should have come as early as in Wu'an County and Shangdang County?
"His Royal Highness King Qin, something is wrong. Liu Heita, king of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was ambushed by the Wu army in Xiangshan, Xiangguo County. The whole army has already been wiped out. Only General Hou Junji led a dozen of them. Our Tang army has escaped, and now the Wu army has set up camp under Xiangguo County, this is an urgent report written by General Hou Junji, please read it, His Royal Highness King Qin!"

The messenger's tone was extremely excited, and he danced his hands and feet, looking crazy, and then tremblingly took out a battle report from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin.

Li Shimin's heart at this moment seemed to have knocked over a cauldron of alchemy furnace, it was burning like a flurry, and his heart was wrenching!
Li Shimin took the urgent report with trembling hands, and read the battle report with a trembling mouth. After reading the battle report, Li Shimin's arms were no longer able to hold the battle report, and the letter fell out of Li Shimin's hands.

"God to die for me too!"

Li Shimin sighed with extreme back pain.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, what is the matter of rushing for eight hundred miles!?"

At this moment, Pei Ji, Liu Renjing, Jie Yuan, Kong Deyang, Qin Qiong and others all rushed to the Government Affairs Hall after hearing the news that Babaili was urgent.

"It's over!"

Li Shimin looked at the few people who came, and shook his head helplessly.

"We don't have any reinforcements anymore. On this land, we are truly fighting alone for the first time!"

As soon as Li Shimin said this, everyone was a little confused. Didn't Li Tang's army always fight alone?

and many more!

Pei Ji seemed to understand something, looking at Li Shimin with serious eyes.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, you don't mean that Liu Heitai can't be wiped out by that Xue Rengui!?"

Everyone was taken aback, and they all reacted.

"No way, Liu Heita still has an army of [-] generals in his hands, and the city wall of Wuyang County is also tall and strong. How could it be possible that the city wall was breached in less than half a month!"

Liu Renjing gasped and said in disbelief.

"This?!"

Jieyuan Laotu and Kong Deyang were also taken aback. The situation seemed to be getting out of control!

"Ugh!"

Li Shimin picked up the newspaper that fell on the ground, enduring his irritability.

"Hou Junji came with an urgent report. Originally, Liu Heita had already decided to abandon Wu'an County, and was going to come to Taiyuan, and join us in fighting against Wang Chen!"

"But who knows, when Liu Heitai was in the process of retreating, Xue Rengui actually came around from the Shangdang side and ambushed them in Xiangshan, fifty miles outside Xiangguo County. Liu Heitai and the others, all of them The army is gone!"

Everyone turned pale with shock. It could be said to be guesswork at first, but now it comes from Li Shimin's mouth, then it is the truth. It is better than people like Liu Heita, who actually say that they are gone, and they are all gone, and it is Xue Rengui, Wang Chen's subordinate. of.

"It shouldn't be. Don't Hou Junji and Liu Heitai know that they sent us messengers in advance? If so, we will definitely go to Xiangguo County to meet them!"

Pei Ji asked very puzzled, Liu Heita might be stupid, but Hou Junji and Liu Heita's counselors are not fools, are they?

"What you can think of, Xu Maogong, who is so wise and close to demons, can't think of it. They sent Pei Yuanqing to Xiangshan in advance, and ambushed the messenger sent by Liu Heita in Xiangshan, and there were two messengers. Captured by Pei Yuanqing and the others."

Everyone gasped again. From now on, Liu Heizai might really have nowhere to escape. It's a chain of links, very scary!
"Oops! His Royal Highness King Qin, then, does General Hou Junji's urgent report require us to send an army to support him!?"

Liu Renjing suddenly thought of it, and immediately stood up and said anxiously.

Li Shimin also woke up like a dream. From the beginning, he was immersed in the damage of this battle report, and really ignored Hou Junji's plea for help for a while.

"Yes! Xiangguo County has a tall city wall and is a heavy city. If we lose this kind of city, it will be even more troublesome."

"Immediately mobilize [-] troops to support!"

Li Shimin stood up, categorically speaking, now he can't be allowed to continue to be irritable, he needs to remedy it immediately, or even fight back!
"His Royal Highness King Qin, the last general Qin Shubao has requested to fight against Xue Rengui's army, and defend Xiangguo County with his death!"

Qin Shubao immediately knelt down on one knee, apologized to Li Shimin with both hands, and his tone was extremely firm, implying that he would do his best for Li Tang and die.

"Okay! Second brother Qin is worthy of being my loyal minister of Li Tang. Second brother Qin, I will give you some masters in the world, and I will give you some generals in the army, as well as counselors. In this battle, you are fully authorized to represent the king. !"

Li Shimin helped Qin Shubao up with both hands, and said very moved and firmly.

"Thank you for His Highness King Qin's trust, Shubao will not disappoint His Highness!"

Afterwards, everyone analyzed the situation at this time, and then made a plan for fighting, and the rest withdrew from the government affairs hall.

Qin Shubao naturally went straight to the barracks, and the current situation is urgent. If you count the speed at which Xue Rengui's infantry rushed to Xiangguo County, and the time to attack the city, Li Shimin and the others agreed that it would only take seven to nine days, so Qin Qiong Naturally, he immediately dispatched troops and generals to go straight to Xiangguo County.

Pei Ji and Liu Renjing managed the rest of the affairs for the army. As for Li Jiancheng, he was still comforting the family in Taiyuan, Bingzhou.

After these aristocratic families came to Taiyuan, Bingzhou, they were still domineering, and even secretly bullied men and women. Li Shimin also hated their behavior, but in order to appease and win over these aristocratic families, they could only be Open one eye, close one eye.

In the end, Jieyuan Laotu and Kong Deyang came.

"Master Jieyuan, I always feel that Li Shimin is about to lose. No matter how you think about the current situation, Li Shimin has no chance of winning."

Kong Deyang spoke first, and his words were full of dislike for Li Shimin.

"My old man is also having a very headache now. According to calculations, Li Shimin is the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei in the sky. With Ziwei's fate, he is the real co-lord of the world. He shouldn't be. He is the emperor chosen by heaven, but now... "

Jie Yuan Lao Lulu also rubbed his palms against his big shiny bald head, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"It's not just you, even the real person from our deceitful way door who drove the crane west has calculated it. According to history, Li Shimin has a dragon's luck to protect his body. It should be Tang Sui's luck, borrowed for three hundred years, but now, I I don't know anymore, either."

Kong Deyang shook his head slightly, feeling very helpless, thinking to himself, running around, helping anyone, whoever he is will be wiped out, it is really a disaster.

"impossible!"

Jie Yuan old bald donkey's face became more and more ugly.

"Forget it, I can't figure out how Li Shimin can defeat Wang Chen. How could this happen!?"

"It seems that the old man is going to use some unconventional means. This situation is now, please forgive the disciple..."

……

In the government affairs hall, Li Shimin was wearing a golden battle armor, holding a Tianzi sword tightly in his hand. Because he was holding it too hard, Li Shimin's hand was also slightly purple.

"I, no, I! This is the co-lord of the world! I will not lose!"
