What's even worse is that Wang Xingben, the general guarding Puzhou, is also planning to surrender Liu Wuzhou according to Puzhou.This Wang Xingben was the general of Yao Junsu, who was the general guard of Hedong in the Sui Dynasty. Yao Junsu firmly defended Hedong County against the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuan was not surprised that there was a change in Wang Xingben's place.If it wasn't for the sake of peace and surrender, Puzhou would not have been handed over to Wang Xingben to garrison.

At this time, the situation in the Tang Dynasty in Hedong was extremely bad. If Xia County and Puzhou surrendered, Huizhou (now Yicheng County, Shanxi) would be cut off from Datang. In this way, it would only be time for Song Jingang to break through Huizhou question.Now Li Zhongwen in Haozhou is holding on. Although Liu Wuzhou has been repelled several times, there are no Tang troops around Haozhou. Li Zhongwen is isolated and helpless. It is also a matter of time before Haozhou falls.

As long as Huizhou is lost, Datang will have no foothold in Hedong.

Li Yuan sighed and said: "Liu Wu Zhou's army is very sharp, and his army is powerful and powerful. It is difficult to compete with him. It is better to abandon the land east of the river and guard the central pass..."

"No..."

Pei Ji and Li Shimin both said no at the same time.

Pei Ji said: "Your Majesty, why not consider Ashina Mohe's proposal!"

The so-called Ashina Mohe's proposal was to use Chen Ying's head in exchange for Liu Wuzhou's retreat.Li Shimin looked anxious, he was really worried that Li Yuan would accept Pei Ji's bad idea.

If at this time Li Yuan really used Chen Ying's head to appease the anger of the Turks and exchange for Liu Wuzhou's retreat, at that time, he would no longer be a rebellious Wang Xingben. I am afraid that Li Zhongwen of Haozhou and Li Mi, Du Fuwei, and Wang Bo who had just surrendered When the rebellion is surrendered, let alone guarding Hedong, I am afraid that Guanzhong will not be able to defend it.

Li Shimin immediately said: "The foundation of Taiyuan's king's industry is the foundation of the country. Hedong is rich and rich, and the capital of Beijing is capital. If you abandon it, you will be resentful. If you borrow [-] elites, you will be able to destroy Wu Zhou and overcome Fen and Jin." .”

Chapter No.17 Self-Destruction of the Great Wall

"Erlang, step back, now is not the time for you to mess around!" Li Yuan almost didn't think about it, and directly scolded Li Shimin.After finishing speaking, Li Yuan looked at Pei Ji and said, "Jian Pei, it seems that the mess in Hedong still needs you to clean up!"

Pei Ji's face was exhausted, his eyes were bloodshot, and he showed a bleak wry smile and said: "Actually, the old minister thought that His Majesty might as well let him take a step..."

When Li Shimin heard this, he became anxious.Pei Ji wanted to use Chen Ying's head to appease the anger of the Turkic people. This was undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger. Regardless of whether the Turkic people would keep their promise, it was the price of Li and Tang court's dishonesty. I'm afraid no one would be able to bear it.

"A person without faith will not stand, a business without trust will not prosper, and a country without trust will decline. Father, please be careful!" Li Shimin knelt on the ground, using knees instead of feet, and moved towards Li Yuan.

At this moment, a little yellow door attendant hurriedly walked into the hall with small steps unique to eunuchs, but met Li Yuan's angry eyes like a falcon: "Get out——"

The servant scrambled and hurriedly backed away. Just as the servant was about to exit the Liangyi Hall, Li Yuan looked at the back of Xiaohuangmen for a long time, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why come back?"

Beads of sweat appeared on the face of the attendant in the little yellow gate, and he said with a look of fear: "Return...return...report to Your Majesty, that Turkic barbarian, pack up and prepare to leave the posthouse..."

Li Yuan waved his hand, signaling the attendants in the Xiaohuang Gate to step back.

Pei Ji thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I'd better go to the posthouse, Ashina Mohe is at this time, no matter what, I can't leave Chang'an!"

Li Shimin said: "Mo He might not want to leave Chang'an at this time, he just made a gesture of leaving..."

"You need to tell me that!" Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "The situation is stronger than others, knowing that he is putting pressure on us now, I have to hold my nose to recognize...Chuluo...Turk...the thief, In time, if I spare my hand, I will raise [-] cavalry to destroy the Turks!"

There is a saying that when a man is angry, his blood splashes five steps; when the emperor is angry, he lays down millions of corpses.

Pei Ji looked at Li Yuan, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty means... promise him?"

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Promise him, promise him everything, he wants Chen Ying's head, I'm not stingy, and the Dingyuan Army is disbanding, so I promise him..."

Hearing this, Li Shimin looked in disbelief, and looked at Li Yuan dumbfounded. The expression on Li Shimin's face gradually changed from shock to indignation.Li Shimin's eyes were red, and the veins on his forehead were slowly bulging. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "Father, father, are you trying to destroy the Great Wall yourself?"

Li Yuan said disapprovingly: "The Great Wall? The Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty is not something that Chen Ying can be worthy of!"

"There is nothing more ruthless than a king!" Li Shimin laughed back angrily: "Okay, okay, okay..."

"You bastard! Get the hell out of here!" Hearing this, Li Yuan's chest heaved with anger.Pointing at the gate of Liangyi Hall, he shouted: "Nie Zi, get out!"

"I'll go on my own!" Li Shimin left with a determined look on his face.

"His Royal Highness King Qin, His Royal Highness King Qin!" Pei Ji looked at the back of Li Shimin who was running away in anger, and shouted again and again, but Li Shimin ignored Pei Ji at all and walked away.

Pei Ji sighed and looked at Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you explain clearly to His Highness King Qin?"

Li Yuan sat down on the throne calmly, and said with a smile: "It's fine to laugh or cry, just don't hold it in your heart, you will get sick when you sit down..."

……

Li Shimin left the Liangyi Hall in a daze, with an extremely depressed expression.Li Yuan is the emperor, he is just a prince, and it is not his turn to be the master of state affairs.However, Li Shimin knew that as long as Li Yuan slashed Chen Ying's head with the knife, a chain reaction would soon be triggered.

Du Fuwei, the general manager of Jianghuai with tens of thousands of troops, will definitely never come to Chang'an again in his life. I am afraid that after seeing this scene, he will not even surrender to the Tang Dynasty in name.

As for Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, he often had bad relations with the Turkic people. If the Turkic people could force Li Yuan to kill Chen Ying, they would naturally be able to force Li Yuan to kill him. All in sight.Pang Yu, the Great General of Youwuwei who is now guarding Jiannan Road, is also a veteran of the Sui Dynasty, as well as Qu Tutong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Bo...

Regardless of whether these people are dead lips and teeth, or whether the rabbit dies and the fox is sad and hurts its kind, I am afraid that they will no longer be loyal to Datang.As long as people's hearts are scattered, the team will not be easy to lead.Of course, Datang is also over, and the Li family is also over...

Walking on the bustling streets, even though the situation in Hedong has been completely corrupted, the news has not been spread yet. Although it is no secret among the upper class elites, Shengdou Xiaomin doesn't know it at all.There is still wine today and drunk today.Looking at the street market where the cars were flowing like water and the horses were like dragons, an illusion appeared in Li Shimin's head unconsciously - Chang'an City became a piece of waste, and these living people would all become skeletons.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Li Shimin came back to his senses, and when he looked up and saw the word "Tianlao" engraved on the plaque, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing, and unknowingly, he came to the Tianlao.

Li Shimin couldn't figure out why he came to the prison. Could it be that there was a god guiding him somewhere?Thinking of this, Li Shimin's expression became gloomy. The Tang Dynasty is over, and the Li family is over. I am afraid that Tianlao is the final destination of himself and his family.

Li Shimin has eaten delicacies from mountains and seas, worn silk and satin, enjoyed the glory and wealth, and also suffered from hunger and cold, but he has never been to the prison.When he came to the gate of the prison, the guards did not dare to stop Li Shimin, so Li Shimin went straight in.

Even though it was still sunny and sunny outside, Li Shimin could easily feel the eerie and terrifying inside just as he walked into the passageway of the dungeon.To be honest, the horror of the dungeon is not the dirty air inside, nor the painful groans of the prisoners inside, but the ubiquitous dead air...

"Oh, isn't this His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Just when Li Shimin was thinking about it, suddenly a voice came out from a huge private prison.Li Shimin stared at it immediately, and found that there was a man with disheveled hair and covered in dirt.

"The time has come, is His Royal Highness King Qin going to send a certain family off in person?"

At this time, Li Shimin finally saw clearly.This disheveled man was none other than Xue Renguo, the Little Overlord of the Western Qin Dynasty.Li Shimin shook his head and said, "No, I just want to drink with you!"

"Have pity on me?" Xue Renguo said loudly: "I don't need you to be pity... If you lose, you lose. There is no reason, no excuse. The two armies are fighting, and the situation is changing rapidly. Using emotion and power is the way to use troops. You won." , I lost, so you are better than me, that's how it is!

Li Shimin followed his jailer and ordered: "Buy some good wine and food!"

Not long after, the jailer moved in a clean low table.Li Shimin frowned, and shouted in a bad tone: "Open it, move in!"

The jailer didn't dare to be negligent, so he just followed Li Shimin's wishes, opened the door of Xue Renguo's cell, and sent in all the cases, wine and meat. A bowl of wine.

"It's fire forced wine, good stuff!" Xue Renguo was not polite, and directly picked up the bowl that Li Shimin just poured in front of him, and then took a sip. Xue Renguo wiped the wine stained on his beard: " Really happy, happy..."

Li Shimin smiled disapprovingly, then poured another bowl of wine, Xue Renguo touched it, and said, "Do it!"

Li Shimin and Xue Renguo drank three bowls of wine in succession. Xue Renguo looked at Li Shimin and asked, "There is something that I am very puzzled about!"

Li Shimin said: "Say it!"

Xue Renguo stared at Li Shimin: "When it comes to martial courage, you are not inferior to me; when it comes to military strategy, you are better than me; when it comes to courage, you are the only hero I have ever seen in my life... Especially so, I don't understand, your family Father, what do you think?"

Li Shimin looked at Xue Renguo and said, "What do you mean?"

"You understand what I mean!" Xue Renguo looked at Li Shimin and said unceremoniously: "Li Erlang, if you don't understand what I mean, I, Xue Renguo, will pull out my tricks and use them as a fool for you!"
