The Zhou Kingdom raised up a 100,000 army, and pretended to be 300,000, and attacked the Xia Kingdom from Jinyang. Dou Jiande was furious and ordered the general Liu Heitabei to resist Luo Yi, and he personally led a 70,000 army to deal with it.

Li Shimin fought with him three times in the Chi, but he could not win.

When Kou Zhong heard that the Zhou Kingdom raised an army to attack Xia, he was overjoyed and used all his skills. In the battle with Emperor Lin Shihong of Chu and King Chen Faxing of Yue, he won three consecutive games and blocked him from Jiangdu.

Wang Shichong was working steadily and could not see clearly for a while. Du Fuwei and Fu Gongyu were still in a confrontation. The rest of Xiao Xian, Chen Bing, the Lingnan line, restrained the Song family.

The princes did not make any abnormal moves, but Shuzhong and Jingxiang seemed a little unstable, and people made trouble one after another and were all pacified. Although Guanzhong was not hindered, even those with knowledge could understand that if Li Shimin could not defeat Dou Jiande, something would happen sooner or later.

With the gust of wind, Shen Yuanjing stood in a hill, looked at the camp opposite from a distance and said, "I'm afraid you have noticed it. My proposal this time is much more urgent than before."

Since the war was launched, he has been a little silent. Until Zhou and Xia fought three times, without any advice. Today, he suddenly called Li Shimin out, obviously there was something important to discuss.

He raised such a topic but Li Shimin's expectations and said softly: "It's indeed much more urgent than before, but this decision is also right. If we can't take Dou Jiande before Kou Zhong, it will really become a situation of confrontation with him. If he has Cihang Jingzhai running for him, he can get continuous support, and it will be difficult for us to overcome."

Shen Yuanjing chuckled and said, "You don't have to make excuses for me. If you are wrong, you are wrong. I am not a real god. You can make full use of it. But what I said is not the present moment, and even the forceful attack on Dou Jiande is considered a remedy."

Li Shimin's face became solemn, he thought about it carefully, and said, "I have always felt that there are many things I can't figure out recently, but I always can't find the reason. Please tell me clearly what I have not thought of."

"Kou Zhong is not the emperor, but a martial arts leader. His subordinates are not one mind, but a united force." Shen Yuanjing said:

"I didn't notice it before. It was not until Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling went south and north, and the two masters learned their skills, that they realized that they had been watching flowers in the fog and could not see the problem. No matter how influence Cihang Jingzhai had, he would definitely not be able to reach such a state and could be the two top masters in the world who served them.

Following this idea, which of those big families, long-standing sects, and Du Fuwei, who are qualified to compete for the world, is better to join? Why would he obey Cihang Jingzhai's instructions and surrender to Kou Zhong?"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "I understand, 'The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit'. Those who are willing to surrender to Kou Zhong are nothing more than profit.

After all, Kou Zhongdang Kingdom promised to implement the law of King Wu of Zhou to divide the feudals. For these individuals, not only would there be no loss. If they surpass the Demon Sect and us, there would be more fiefs to establish a career. It only takes three or five generations, and it might be the next Song clan or even the small kingdom."

Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "I was too careless and kept looking at the masters. I value martial arts and neglect current situations. I didn't realize that there was a problem hidden here earlier."

Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief and said wonderingly: "If this is the case, those people have their own plans, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us? We can still treat them as loose alliances like the Demon Sect. The gentleman is so anxious, isn't he really worried that Dou Jiande will surrender to Kou Zhong?"

Shen Yuanjing said: "I am not worried about this, but I suspect that they have colluded with Shi Zhixuan. If everything from Xu State was led by Cihang Jingzhai, due to the ancestral teachings and their reputation in the righteous path, they would naturally not dare to connect with the Demon Sect, but other forces would not have so many concerns.

For Wang Bo, Du Fuwei, and Yuwen’s sect, the Demon Sect has always been something in the dark. Even if you stand up, you can’t do anything to them. On the contrary, we have the ambition to transform the world, which is a big problem."

Li Shimin was shocked and said, "So that's it. According to Cihang Jingzhai's reputation on Baidao, let alone sir, even civil and military officials in the court could not imagine it."

Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "Yu Cihang Jingzhai said that they had no way to be princes anyway, so they simply took all the credit on themselves. They gained reputation, and the rest of their forces were hidden below, and they jointly promoted Kou Zhong high, which was really a good plan."

After analyzing the matter, everything was clear. Li Shimin sighed: "No wonder that sir wanted to launch this war. Shi Zhixuan said that it was a coalition of siege against Xu, but in fact it was a united force to siege us. No matter whether we were always moving, we would definitely be a surprise attack from multiple parties.

No, the Yingui Sect must have asked him to plot in. Wang Shichong took Chang'an, and the individuals under Kou Zhong took Jiangnan. Dou Jiande was indeed the biggest variable. He must have colluded with either side or both. Jie Shi attacked Jinyang, Wang Shichong attacked Guanzhong, and Xiao Xian attacked Jingxiang. The world was asked to divide up, so it was easy to plot."

Shen Yuanjing added: "There are also Tuyuhun in the west and Turks in the north, and I think we have to intervene. As I expected, Liu Heita has begun to march secretly. Now, as expected, we are attacked from all sides."

He paused and asked again: "In this way, will Shimin blame me? He insisted on purgeing the clans and martial arts forces in the world and offend everyone so that people dare not surrender?"

Li Shimin's face was solemn and said, "What are you saying? If it weren't for you, I would still be a mediocre and idle prince in Jinyang Mansion today. I was worried all day long that my brother would take my life after he ascended the throne. How could I have such good luck to participate in the competition among the heroes?

What's more, even with the support of Cihang Jingzhai, I inherited the throne of the Tang Kingdom, but still depends on the expressions of the clans and sects. If you want to transform the world, you can only do it in your lifetime. Instead, you will start from scratch today and make them tremble under your feet with pleasure."

A smile appeared on Shen Yuanjing's face, and Li Shimin also smiled and said, "At this time, sir, don't worry about my weak will. Even if the world is enemies, if there are not all the brothers who follow us, why should I be afraid of it?

General Qu has rich experience and is powerful in Shuzhong; Brother Li is skillful in Jingxiang and defends Luoyang. In addition, he has pacified the martial arts forces under the rule of Zhou, such as the Guanzhong Sword Sect, the Nanyang Three Sects and Four Gangs, etc. I can rest assured in these three places."

He turned toward the sun and said proudly: "For the rest, as long as I defeat Dou Jiande in one fell swoop, no matter what plot he is, it is just a joke."
