When Dou Jiande questioned, Li Jiancheng still looked helpless. He looked around and asked, "King Changle, can you take a step to speak?"

The two of them were surrounded by people, and Li Jiancheng obviously had something important to say.

But Li Jiancheng was the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, while Dou Jiande was just a martial artist. Besides, his martial arts skills were excellent, and Li Jiancheng's one-on-one invitation could be said to be extremely bold.

Dou Jiande was surprised by his suggestion, but did not refuse, and turned over and dismounted. Li Jianchen also dismounted and signaled his subordinates not to follow. He walked to a mound a little further away and saw two big stones. He swept away the snow on the stone and smiled and said, "King Changle, please sit down."

Dou Jiande could only sigh that Li Yuan had such a good son, but he didn't!

His family, except for their daughter, were killed by the Sui court. Every time he thought of this, Dou Jiande felt inexplicably heartbroken.

From any aspect, Li Jiancheng is respectful and polite, and calm. Now he seems to be born to be the prince. Of course, he can also be regarded as the fate of being the emperor!

The establishment of a crown prince is undoubtedly a very important and requires caution for the emperor. But Li Yuan does not have this problem, because no matter how Li Jiancheng looks at it, he is an excellent candidate for the crown prince.

Of course, the prince does not need to charge in battle. What the prince needs more often is to keep his father's business! This requires wisdom and does not require too much fighting.

Dou Jiande looked at Li Jiancheng and was a little surprised that he had so many thoughts, but he was undoubtedly a person who could hide his mood. He was still calm when Li Jiancheng saw him and secretly praised him, thinking that Dou Jiande's overlord could hide his strength and maintain a low profile, and it seemed that he was better than Li Mi.

Seeing Li Jiancheng personally sweeping the snow for Dou Jiande, the Hebei army put aside their worries a little, and the Tang army was speechless. Li Jiancheng was undoubtedly a fair person. The place he chose was still in the middle boundary of both sides, and in the Yang area. Except for the conversation that the two of them could not be heard by others, their every move was at the attention of both sides.

Although the prince was sweeping the snow, Dou Jiande felt awe-inspiring when he sat down because he found that he had obeyed Li Jiancheng's advice without realizing it. This prince was not simple.

After the two of them sat down, Li Jiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. "King Changle, I haven't noticed it for a long time. It turns out that the snow scene here is so beautiful." In the winter, the glory fell on his body. The distant mountains and nearby trees were covered with snow. When the sun shines, it is dazzling and colorful.

Dou Jiande smiled and said, "I have time to enjoy the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms. If Prince Li likes it, he might as well enjoy it with me another day."

Li Jiancheng was full of yearning. "That was undoubtedly a very wonderful thing."

The two talked softly. The subordinates of both sides saw the leader in peace and peace. They all took it for granted that the two people were talking about an extremely important military event. But they could not imagine that the two people were just snow scenes. Li Jiancheng still looked at the snow scene in the distance. It seemed that they were lingering. Dou Jiande couldn't help but frowned, thinking about the opponent's intentions.

Dou Jiande sent troops from Hebei. Now he has lost two generals in a row. Although he has sent troops suddenly and conquered Xiao Buyi's territory in several counties and territories, the key cities have not been taken down. It can be said that the gain is not worth the loss. He knew that Xiao Buyi was waiting. When the spring flowers bloom, Xiao Buyi will burst out with amazing power like a spring tree to counterattack the Hebei army. So Dou Jiande was calm by nature and actually felt anxious.

This is not the first time Dou Jiande and Li Tang have contacted each other, but it is undoubtedly the closest contact.

Although Dou Jiande was the overlord of Hebei, he was self-aware. The three-way competition was undoubtedly the weakest. He fought for many years and worked hard to accumulate local capital. In any case, he was not as strong as the old Li Tang clan and the upstart in the Eastern Capital, whether in terms of financial resources or military strength!

He was frugal all his life. He was reluctant to make one new piece of clothing. He tried to use every article he gained from the conquest and the people. He was undoubtedly a very responsible person.

He is completely different from Xiao Buyi, because although Xiao Buyi is known as a civil servant, he is a new nobleman after all and even has a close relationship with the Sui Dynasty royal family. However, he almost started from scratch and had no support from any clans.

He is even more difficult than Xiao Buyi to be able to conquer Hebei's huge foundation.

But he was able to remain frugal, but his subordinates might not be able to remain the same as before. He was a general under Changle and followed him for many years. Now, he began to have the idea of ​​enjoyment. Of course, he would not say anything, but that was undoubtedly a sign of defeat.

Although the Hebei army is so powerful, Dou Jiande has already noticed external and internal troubles. Of course, he understands that Li Tang hopes that he will hold Xiao Buyi, but he also hopes that Li Tang can help him fight Xiao Buyi. This is a relationship of mutual use, but Dou Jiande has no choice. Hebei can no longer wait!

No one would have thought that Xiao Buyi would develop so rapidly, and he would have done something wrong to solve the enemy. Dou Jiande would have to sit and wait for death if he didn't take action again! Seeing Li Jiancheng's leisure, Dou Jiande was even more leisurely than him. Although he was anxious, he knew that Li Yuan must be even more anxious. Li Yuan was now attacked by Liu Wuzhou. If Xiao Buyi took Hebei and Liu Wuzhou and attacked Liu Wuzhou, Li Yuan would be defeated sooner or later.

Seeing that Dou Jiande was speechless and not rushing, Li Jiancheng finally came to his senses and said in surprise: "King Changle, I just admired the snow scene, but I was so rude that I really couldn't get over it."

Dou Jiande said lightly: "It is better to be rude than to betrayal. Until now... can Prince Li tell me about his plan to send troops, right?"

Li Jiancheng expressed his distress, "Actually, I had already asked my father to send troops. Now, King Changle, Xu Yuanlang, and our joining forces are a great opportunity to eliminate Xiao Buyi. But King Changle also knew that although I led the army, the right to send troops was in my father!"

Dou Jiande's eyes were like water, "I don't know what Ling Zun planned?"

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "My father actually has the same idea as me. He even wants to divide his troops into four groups to attack Xiao Buyi..."

Dou Jiande's expression changed slightly, "Fourth routes are sent? I wonder which of the four routes are?"

Li Jiancheng said solemnly: "All the way were sent troops from Wuguan to attack Jingxiang, all the way were sent troops from Tongguan to reach the Dongdu, and there was also a way to go down the river from Hedong. Cooperate with me to send troops from Tianjing Pass to capture the land north of the Yellow River! Then, with King Changle and Xu Yuanlang, it would not be difficult to divide Xiao Buyi's territory!"

Li Jiancheng was full of energy and spirit at that moment. He seemed to have seen Xiao Buyi's death without a burial place. Dou Jiande just said, "It's a pity... I haven't seen a large army yet. At present, it is not the four Tang troops fighting with Xiao Buyi forever, but Hebei.

Dou Jiande has long passed the age of being prone to impulsiveness. If he had been verbally spoken by Li Jiancheng in a few words, he would not be the King of Changle. He needs more precise guarantees rather than illusory arguments.

Dou Jiande's words were faint, and Li Jiancheng's face flashed with embarrassment, "Of course, King Changle also knows that my father, like you, is trying his best to pacify Xiao Buyi! But Xiao Buyi has been tricky and has long considered our joint efforts. He actually joined forces with Liu Wuzhou, mixed with the black armored iron cavalry that was terrifying the world in the Liu family's army. My father was not careful for a moment. He was taken to Taiyuan by Liu Wuzhou. Now that Hedong is in a tight position, he is about to be attacked by someone. How can I ask the earth to urge the army in this situation?" "So, you will not send troops to help me as agreed?" Dou Jiande said in a deep voice.

Li Jiancheng pondered for a long time, "Actually, we don't want to, but we can't. My father refused to withdraw too much troops, so I couldn't help but be worried, for fear of losing my trust in King Changle! That's why I came up with a plan to ask Daoxuan to find General Su, if I wish. I originally asked General Su to retreat, and then lure Xiao Buyi to send troops to Changping, and we will find a way to lure Xiao Buyi."

"This plan is pretty good." Dou Jiande nodded.

"But Daoxuan's tragic death suddenly disrupted my plan," Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "Of course, it must be without the opponent's knowledge, but it is obvious that Xiao Buyi not only knows that I have arrived in Shangdang, but also seems to be familiar with your whereabouts. In this case, how can I take action?"

Dou Jiande sighed lightly, "Xiao Buyi is undoubtedly a very terrible opponent!"

Li Jiancheng nodded in agreement, "It is true. The horror of this person lies in his foresight. He even expected that we would join forces, so he sent people to use Liu Wuzhou to restrain our troops. He also had a lot of talented and strange helpers under him. Although he was in seclusion, it was hard to imagine the pressure he put on us!"

Both of them are outstanding people in the world. But obviously they still hate Xiao Buyi and admire him. Hostility is mixed with respect. Because they are both heroes, they understand even more that this is what is called mutual appreciation!

Sometimes, an opponent can arouse your respect than a friend, and Xiao Buyi is undoubtedly such a person! The warm sunshine is shining. His eyes sometimes feel confused, sometimes very clear. His eyes seem to be able to travel thousands of mountains and rivers, discover strange things in the distance, and also seem to be able to discover the opponent's thoughts through the appearance of the opponent at hand.

Xiao Buyi is not like a war is imminent at all. Yu Shinan is sitting opposite him, but he is a little worried.

Seeing Yu Shinan frowned, Xiao Buyi asked with a smile, "Shu Yu, are you in a bottomless mind about your trip to the grassland?"

Yu Shinan shook his head and said, "When I go to the grassland, I should do my best, but I am just worried about the current situation. King Xiliang, we are fighting everywhere, and if we are not careful in one move, we will lose all the game. I just wish I could not go on the field to kill the enemy and solve the problems of King Xiliang."

It turned out that after he was rebelled from Yuan Wendu and was imprisoned, the position of Minister of Rites was vacant. After Yu Shinan returned to the Eastern Capital, Xiao Buyi first promoted him to Minister of Rites, and now he has been promoted to Minister of Rites.

Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and vigorously promoted the family members of the family. Xiao Buyi proclaimed himself king, but vigorously promoted brothers and friends, plus the poor scholars. The two of them were fighting each other, and the lords and upstarts were fighting each other.

Seeing Yu Shinan worried, Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Shangshu Yu, if you can convince Ke Dun to join forces with us, it will be better than leading a 100,000 army. Everyone has his own uses, and everyone does not have to lead troops to fight. Lord Lu, Shangshu Xiao, you, Lord Wei, Ruhui, Ma Zhou and others have no great achievements, but to me, you are like soldiers going to war, one is the left arm and the other is the right arm, both indispensable."

The sincerity of his speech was filled with emotion, "The King of Xiliang has not changed much in the past few years, and it is really a blessing for the people of the world."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Actually, I don't want to fight, but now the arrow is on the string. I have to fire it. Since I have a fight sooner or later, I have to take advantage of the opportunity to pacify the world soon. At that time... Isn't it a pleasure to drink and enjoy the plum blossoms with Shangshu Yu?"

Yu Shinan looked around and suddenly said, "I remember one year. One day, we are like today..."

He wanted to speak but stopped, Xiao Buyi sighed: "Yes, there was Miss Pei that day...Li Xuanba...Pei Xingyan. The encounter between the five people back then was really touching."

Yu Shinan nodded and said, "Now these five people are the most brilliant of King Xiliang, and General Pei also fulfilled his wish. He was lucky enough to hold a single official and half of his position. Brother Xuanba died early, but the most depressed one was the most brilliant one at that time... Miss Pei."

Now Xiao Buyi, Pei Mingcui, Si Nan and others have speculated that Li Xuanba is not dead. However, the mystery of Li Xuanba's life and death is still a secret. Yu Shinan is not aware of it, and Xiao Buyi doesn't want to say much. In fact, Li Xuanba's current life and death does not have much impact on the life in Dongdu.

The person I mentioned in the end is sometimes the most concerned, because the person mentioned needs to be careful and pretend to be nothing and do not want to be discovered. Yu Shinan was somewhat sad when he mentioned Pei Mingcui. Over the years, he obviously has not forgotten Pei Mingcui, but Li Xuanba is alive and Yu Shinan has no chance. After Li Xuanba dies, Yu Shinan knows that he has no chance at all!

Seeing Xiao Buyi looking at him, Yu Shinan's heart was beating. He had been thinking about it for many years, and only mentioned it at the moment, but he still couldn't help but mention it.

"King of Xiliang, has Miss Pei heard from me recently?"

"No." Xiao Buyi shook her head, "She is very tired, but the road is her choice."

Yu Shinan was silent for a long time. Then he stood up and said, "King of Xiliang, I am going to set off. I hope I can understand the general idea."

Xiao Buyi stood up and said, "The current Jie Li Khan has been supported by the Turks and has won over the Tieler family. Relatively speaking, the power of Chuluo Khan is slightly weak, and they urgently need support now. It is very likely that we will join forces with them temporarily. Shangshu Yu needs to fight for the benefits. We must try our best to make it possible to let Ke Dun see the hope of competing with Jie Li. The ability to make Chuluo and Jie Li stalemate for three years is the best result for your mission."

"Is it only three years?" Yu Shinan smiled.

Xiao Buyi said: "The Turkic civil war lasted for three years. It must have lost its strength. In fact, the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty is still there, and the people are in peace for a long time. As far as I think, there will be three more years in the Central Plains, which can be seen. Shangshu Yu, I wish you success!"

Yu Shinan looked at Xiao Buyi for a long time before saying, "Hope is as the King of Xiliang said."

He stood up and left, Xiao Buyi sent him outside the door. There were soldiers escorting him. Yu Shinan's mission to the grassland was not easy, and the journey was not easy. However, with the troops escorted by the Dongdu, he would be safe and sound all the way to the grassland.

After seeing Yu Shinan off, Lu Laosan arrived in a hurry, "Xiliang King, there is news from the bat. Dou Jiande and Li Jiancheng made an appointment to meet at Yangtou Mountain."

"When?" Xiao Buyi asked.

"It should be right now." Lu Laosan said regretfully: "It's a pity that the news is a little late, otherwise we might be able to capture all the two of them in one go."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Third brother, you underestimate Dou Jiande and Li Jiancheng too much. I am afraid that our army will escape within ten miles."

"The King of Xiliang, but except for Dou and Li, there was another strange news." Lu Laosan said.

Xiao Buyi sat down and asked with a smile, "What's the news?"

"Gao Yaxian was killed in the army." Lu Laosan excitedly said, "I wonder who killed it?"

"I killed it." A voice said coldly.

Lu Laosan was startled, turned around, saw that it was Si Nan, and said with a wry smile: "I said who can get here so easily? It turns out to be a girl."

Si Nan saved their brother's lives, so even if Si Nan's attitude was a little cold, Lu Laosan still spoke kindly.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "When the world's number one female swordsman takes action, Gao Yaxian dies as his death."

Lu Laosan suddenly said: "It turned out to be the King of Xiliang. Li Daoxuan was stabbed and Gao Yaxian died. No wonder Li Jiancheng and Dou Jiande wanted to meet like they were burning their butts."

Xiao Buyi frowned and said, "If they don't meet, it proves that our assassination has been successful. If they meet, it will definitely mean that our methods have been seen through by the two of them, so they will meet each other in a hurry to eliminate the barriers. These two are not easy to deal with!" Seeing Si Nan looking at him, Xiao Buyi smiled. "But if he killed Gao Yaxian, he would undoubtedly give Dou Jiande another blow. Si Nan, thank you for your hard work."

Si Nan shook her head and said, "I didn't kill Gao Yaxian."

Xiao Buyi said in surprise: "What did you say?"

"It can be said that I killed the land, or it can be said that it is not." Si Nan found a chair to sit down, frowned.

Lu Laosan asked in confusion. "Forgive me for being dull and don't understand what the girl means."

Xiao Buyi also said: "I am also dull, please explain in detail in Sinan."

He joked, but Si Nan did not laugh, and said for a while: "Xiao Buyi, I will kill Gao Yaxian according to your wishes, disrupt the muddy waters, make the Tang army and the Hebei army suspicious of each other, and leave the words "blood debt and blood compensation". I just want them to think of Qiu Xinggong."

Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "I do have this meaning." "But I got into the Hebei army and the guard is indeed very strong, not inferior to yours." Si Nan said.

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "I think Yang Guang's palace is only a pass. You are still free to advance and retreat?"

"That's different," Si Nan shook her head and said, "I had someone to help at that time, but this time I was alone. Fortunately, they were a little careless and didn't want anyone else to dare to enter their camp alone. So I overheard the command and mingled in front of Gaoyaxian's tent."

Seeing Xiao Buyi frowning, Si Nan asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Buyi curled his smile, "You are not a person who likes to show off. Is it the point that you say this?"
