The city was defeated!

Qinshui's army was defeated!

The Xiliang Army has opened the passage between Jiangjun and Changping, and the army has gathered in Hedong in storms./Shou/Fa

Shangdang is in an emergency, Hedong is in an emergency, and Baibi is in an emergency!

Li Jing captured Hukou and rushed to Longmen Pass, and had already surrounded Baibi's rear. Li Tang's army in Hedong not only failed to repeat the fierce battle in Baibi, but also defeated Liu Wuzhou's record, but became a shackle in Guanzhong.

When it is different, the results will be different.

At that time, Liu Wuzhou was enemies on all sides, and his eyes were turned around. It was Li Yuan's turn to be surrounded by enemies.

Li Yuan's current strength is already in short supply. Now, many of the troops in Guanzhong, except for the guards of Xijing, have been sent out. Li Gui and Liang's troops have not been settled. Although they have never attempted to attack Guanzhong, Li Yuan cannot help. Liang's troops retreated all the way west, but they still pose a great threat to Guanzhong. Languan also gathered nearly 100,000 troops to prevent the Western Liang army from breaking Languan and directly attacking the city of Xijing. Tongguan relies on natural dangers and has no worries for the time being. Hedong had already gathered 300,000 troops, but he did not expect that after Li Shimin was defeated first, he was immediately surrounded by Li Jing's army.

Originally, Hedong was like a gateway in Guanzhong, and Li Yuan just wanted to resist the enemy at the door, but he didn't expect that Li Jing would jump into the window and attack without following the routine.

How to defend and how to resist? Li Yuan has grown a lot older.

The only thing that Li Yuan could expect was that Xuanba was dead. Li Xuanba was finally dead! This thorn in his heart was finally pulled out! Li Yuan received this news. Pei Ji ordered someone to send him quickly.

Li Xuan did not die in Pei Ji's layout, but fell into the siege of the Xiliang army. He died at the end of his strength.

In Li Yuan's eyes, who killed Li Xuanba? How can Li Xuanba die? The important thing is that Li Xuanba died. Li Xuanba should have died long ago. Li Yuan thought resentfully. If it weren't for Li Xuanba, Guanzhong might not have reached the level of embarrassment now.

But Li Xuanba's death did not bring much excitement to Li Yuan and there was still a kind of unspeakable anxiety. Li Xuanba was dead. When Qinshui was attacked by the Western Liang army, the Tang soldiers were panicked and understood. Pei Ji did not dare to go to Jiangjun. He could only lead troops to retreat north to Shangdang and join forces with Li Shentong troops to fight against the Western Liang army. Li Yuan knew that Pei Ji would not lead the army. He would take action and defeat him. Once Qinshui lost, the connection between Shangdang and Jiangjun was cut off. At present, Shangdang had mountains in the west, Taihang in the east and the north were both the Western Liang army. He was already alone with food and grass. The Tang army also had many places to eat the mountains and fall into death. But what made Li Yuan most upset was not the dilemma of Shangdang, but the Xiliang army in Yan'an County!

The Xiliang Army led by Li Jing not only looked at the cypress wall, but also stabbed Xijing at any time like a sharp knife.

Although Yan'an and Xijing are still hundreds of miles away from the north, compared with the natural dangers of the Qinling and Yellow River, it can be said that air leakage is everywhere.

Li Yuan is in a dilemma.

If he pulled out the remaining troops of Xijing to fight against Li Jing's army in Yan'an, he might be defeated by Li Jing and then took Guanzhong from other paths in the north. But if he did not take the initiative and if the entire Hedong army was wiped out, the ferry crossing would be almost defeated by Li Jing again. Then the Xiliang army could easily cross the Yellow River and attack the city of Xijing.

In this way, the route of the Western Liang army seizing Guanzhong was similar to that of Li Yuan's attack on Guanzhong. The difference was that when Li Yuan went north, he did not go to Longmen and Hukou to attack Guanzhong, but Li Jing captured a larger *** and attacked Hukou. With the Hukou Longmen, the soldiers and generals on the other side could be successfully crossed the river, and the threat was self-evident.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and found that he had lost a lot of hair again. At this time, the palace servant entered the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, the prince and the King of Qin are on their way back, and they should all be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow." Li Yuan frowned and signaled, "If they turn around, call them to see me immediately." The palace servant retreated after the order. Li Yuan thought to himself that Li Xuanba was dead and there was no internal trouble at the moment. Although there were external troubles, if you discuss with Jiancheng and Shimin, there might be a way to crack the attack of the Western Liang army. Of course, Li Yuan did not want to give up. He was exhausted and fell into a deep dream, but he was still frowning in his sleep.

While Li Yuan was looking for a countermeasure, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were on their way back to Guanzhong.

The two were as worried and frowning as they were. For them, the situation had deteriorated to an uncontrollable point, and it was really hard for them to come up with a way to compete.

Those who followed the two of them to the capital were Wen Daya, Changsun Heng'an, Duan Zhixuan and a group of guards.

At this time, they didn't know about Li Xuanba's death.

Killing Li Xuanba was an extremely secretive order. Except for Pei Ji and the Wen brothers, they were always secretly unwilling to announce it. Although the Tang army in Qinshui knew that King Wei was dead, they all retreated to Shangdang, so Li Yuan, now in Guanzhong, only Li Yuan knew the news.

Under the protection of Li Xuanba's several personal guards, Li Shimin, who had crossed mountains and ridges, finally turned back to Yicheng. He was happy to find that Duan Zhixuan was still alive. Duan Zhixuan's ability to survive in the chaos was extraordinary, and he was also very happy to see Li Shimin.

After everyone discussed, they knew that Yicheng had only 30,000 troops left. If they were surrounded by the Xiliang army, they would be afraid that they would not be able to escape from the sky. Since this is the case, it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the Xiliang army had not yet formed an encirclement and fight hard to temporarily gather with Baibi's troops. Everyone had made up their minds and made a quick decision to lead the soldiers to break through the west. After Li Jiancheng learned the news, he immediately sent troops to respond. The two armies rushed together and gathered together, and then retreated to Baibi.

When Li Jiancheng saw Li Shimin, he was both sad and happy. What was happy was that his younger brother was fine, but the situation was deteriorating. When he talked about Li Jing's affairs with Li Shimin, Li Shimin couldn't help but frown. He thought that he had been out of trouble and went into a prison again. If Li Jing was allowed to guard the Longmen Ferry and garrison the troops along the river, then Baibi would be no different from Yicheng. But he was anxious to turn around at this moment. First, he only wanted to conquer Li Yuanji, and secondly, he wanted to ask Li Xuanba for antidote, and also wanted to make clear everything with Li Yuan and let him give himself an explanation. Li Shimin didn't want to continue so unclear anymore. Li Jiancheng also felt that the situation was not good and was eager to discuss a strategy for resisting with his father. At that moment, he hit it off and brought people to the capital.

However, Li Jiancheng was calm after all, so of course he would not give up Baibi. He asked Qu Tutong to lead his troops to continue to defend Baibi and let Liu Hongji and Tang Jian divide their troops to Longmen Pass to assist the soldiers there to defend the pass. Li Jing could not allow him to seize the ferry and cut off the retreat of Baibi's army.

Everyone discussed that it had been decided that the Li brothers would take their confidants across the Yellow River and go to Xijing.

Along the way, everyone saw the soldiers and civilians panic, and they were as if they were surrounded by enemies. Their thoughts were filled with unknown meanings and they were silent.

On this day, I finally passed Mount Li in Weishui. When I looked at the Ba Bridge in front of Li Shimin, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Brother Ji always said that I am not the father's biological son, how do you see him?"

After Li Jiancheng arrived, he did not mention the incident of Li Xuanba. He chased the barren mountains for a few days before turning around. As for what he said to Li Xuanba, it was of course secret. But because of this, Li Jiancheng did not mention Li Yuanji's incident of Yin Ahshu in conspiracy against him.

When Li Jiancheng heard Li Shimin's question, he laughed in silence: "Shimin wouldn't think this is the real thing, right?"

Li Shimin couldn't see any abnormality on Li Jiancheng's face, and said in a complicated mood: "I think everyone is worth it. Even though I don't believe it, I always listen to this rumor, and I can't help but be confused."

Li Jiancheng sighed: "As Yuan Ji's brother, Shimin did a good job. He was very pleased to see you tolerate and give in. However... this is really aggrieved you. I persuaded Yuan Ji many times, but he just didn't listen, alas!"

"Did I just keep holding on?" Li Shimin asked.

Li Jiancheng hesitated, "Of course not. Actually, my father and I talked about him many times and even punished him, but he still couldn't change his habits. But no matter what, he is also our biological brother, right?"

"The key is whether he once regarded me as a brother.

"Li Shimin looked at the white clouds and the vast distant mountains and replied indifferently.

Seeing that Li Shimin was dissatisfied, Li Jiancheng was not very concerned about his heart, and smiled and said, "Shimin, we have always been biological brothers, and no one can change it. I know you have always felt wronged. If there is any fault, it will be on my head. Is it okay to get angry at me?" Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Jiancheng said bitterly: "At the moment the enemy is in front of us, we should be united and we must not lose our own position. Shimin, I believe you can understand this principle."

"I understand, but does the father understand?" Min asked back: "Xuanba was originally a talented person, but he did not send him to lead the army to fight, and only guarded the food route. How could such a disposal make... Xuanba convinced?"

"It was General Qu's idea to let Xuanba guard Qinshui, and I'm the same, actually..." Li Jiancheng was in a dilemma and didn't know how to speak for a while. After a long time, he said: "Don't worry, I must talk about this when I return to Xijing this time."

"If Ruoyuan insults me again, what will happen to you, brother?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

Li Jiancheng said helplessly: "I will restrain him. If you are with me, he will not go too far."

Li Shimin's lips moved twice and thought to himself, what if you weren't with me? Thinking of the moment when Li Xuanba was poisoned, Li Shimin's heart was furious. He did not blame Li Jiancheng, but he hated Li Yuanji deeply.

The two of them became silent again. After crossing the Baqiao, Xijing was soon in front of them. The two led their soldiers into Xijing and saw the rumors of the people in the city one after another, and were also secretly shocked. Because these messages did not limit the dispute between the prince, they met the Xiliang army wherever they involved. For a moment, it seemed that except for Xijing, there were soldiers everywhere. There were rumors that Li Jing had already reached Yongfeng Cang and was about to attack Xijing.

"There must be Xiao Buyi's fine work here." Li Jiancheng immediately made a judgment when he heard the people's discussion. Of course, Li Shimin also understood this point. He had something in his heart and didn't want to say anything more. After entering the city gate, a man suddenly rushed out and stopped the horse. The horse was frightened and there was a personal guard ready to step forward. Li Shimin's eyes trembled and saw that it was Changsun Wuji. He was shocked, just because Changsun Wuji had a rare panic and uneasiness on his face.

"Wuji, what's wrong?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly.

"Shimin, Wugui is missing." Changsun Wuji said anxiously, regardless of everyone's presence.

Li Jiancheng was also shocked, "How could Wugui disappear?"

Li Shimin's eyes were blazing fire, and he shouted almost at the same time: "How could Wugui disappear?"

"It seems to be related to Yuanji." Changsun Wuji said anxiously.

Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows, "Wuji, you can't talk nonsense about this."

Changsun Wuji was also a little angry, not caring about Li Jiancheng's identity, and shouting: "Why do I want to talk nonsense? Can you give me a reason?"

Seeing that Sun Wuji was anxious, Li Jiancheng knew that there was something wrong with his tone just now, and apologized: "I don't mean that... Although Yuanji is a nonsense, he will never be so over-the-top... Will it be..." He originally wanted to say whether there was a reason or a hidden truth, Li Shimin angrily said: "He won't be over-the-top? Then what happened last time? Li Jiancheng is your brother? Am I not?"

"Of course they are all, but Wuji, you have to explain it clearly."

"What else should I say? This morning, Wugui went to the temple to make a wish and pray to the emperor and the soldiers. He disappeared on the way back. We have been looking for it for a long time, and now it has been half a day. Of course, it will not disappear for no reason. This is the capital. Who else dares to do it without eyeing Wugui? We went to find King Qi, but we couldn't find him at all. Li Jiancheng, please tell me to explain it clearly, how can I explain it clearly?"

Li Jiancheng realized the urgency of the matter and shouted to his guards: "You go around looking for Yuanji in the capital, and you must find him for me. Remember... except not hurting him, I will take care of any way!" Seeing Li Shimin's eyes breaching, Li Jiancheng said: "Shimin and you go to the Qi Prince's Mansion to wait for Yuanji."

"Just wait alone, I'll search around." Li Shimin refused at the moment.

Li Jiancheng thought to himself that Yuan Ji must not make a big mistake, otherwise the internal and external troubles will break out together and Xijing will be over.

Li Jiancheng took his subordinates to the Qi Palace and went straight to the Qi Palace, praying in his heart that Li Yuanji could order his personal guards to pay attention to Li Shimin's movements at the same time, for fear that he would do something uncontrollable. When Li Shimin saw Li Jiancheng leaving, he was anxious and asked, "Wuji, why are you still here? Why don't you go to find Wugui?"

Changsun Wuji said, "Shimin, I have tried my best to send people who can be dispatched to the whole city to find them. Wugui is my sister. Do you think I am not in a hurry? But this time..." Before he finished speaking, a guard Zheng Rentai rushed over quickly and held a jade pendant in his hand and said, "King of Qin, I found this jade pendant in Wuliu Lane, Andingfang, northwest of the city. A maid said that this is the jade pendant worn by the Princess of Qin."

Li Shimin took it and said with a look: "This is indeed what Wugui admires. How could she go there?"

Changsun Wuji suddenly remembered something, "I remembered that there was a mansion by Li Yuanji at the end of Wuliu Lane. He thought that the mansion of King Qi was too close to the palace, so there were mansions in many places in the city. There..." Hearing Changsun Heng'an coughed, Changsun Wuji did not continue to say the following words, because when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were fighting for the country, Li Yuanji had been seeking pleasure, so he set up many mansions for his enjoyment. If Changsun Wugui landed there, the consequences would be worrying.

Li Shimin held the jade pendant tightly, and his eyes were full of anger. It turned out that

The penis was originally a imitation. Yang Guang was quite good to Li Shimin back then and gave him a jade pendant, but he was disappointed when he assassinated Li Min. In order to ensure the safety of the Li family, Li Xuanba asked Pei Mingcui to imitate it. After Li Shimin and Changsun Wugui got married, he gave the jade to Changsun Wugui.

The past is like a tide, and Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Li Xuanba again, not knowing what it felt in his heart. He didn't say more and urged his horse to run northwest of the capital.

Whether in the East Capital or the West Capital, they are divided into two cities, inside and outside, and are based on fangs. Li Shimin turned around from Longmen and entered the Tonghua Gate in the East. He could have walked straight through the inner palace to the northwest. But when he thought about it, the inner palace was vigilant and had many obstacles. If he walked straight, he would probably waste time. He circled the horse south, then turned west and ran wildly, just wanting to be by Wugui's side a moment ago. Changsun Wuji certainly understood Li Shimin's thoughts, and with Changsun Heng'an, Duan Zhixuan and several personal guards rushed to Andingfang.

The people were in chaos along the way, and Li Shimin couldn't take much care of it. He gritted his teeth and blood was already overflowing from the corners of his mouth.

When he approached Andingfang, another soldier rushed out and shouted, "King Qin, it's not good."

When Li Shimin saw the tragic situation, his heart became even more angry.

The man was named Li Mengchang, and like Zheng Ren, they were both Changsun Wuji's subordinates. But when he first met, Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin almost recognized this person. The man's eyebrows were swollen and tall, and his eyes were as black as ink stained with ink. In addition to sweat, there was blood on his face, and the armor on his arms was blooming, with blood stains on his face.

Changsun Wuji drank, "What's wrong?" At the same time, he winked and signaled Li Mengchang to say a long story short and selectively. Li Mengchang understood and nodded and said, "King Qin, we know that the Princess of Qin came here, and immediately went to the Tongmian Mansion of King Qi to ask for people. King Qi is here."

Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Walk while walking." He was eager to see Li Yuanji and urged his horse to move forward. Li Mengchang ran all the way and said, "We should take advantage of the fact that King Qi wants people to think of him as unreasonable, and say that the Princess Qin is not with him. He said that we were in the right way, and then ordered his subordinates to take action."

"If they take action, you won't hit you?" Changsun Wuji scolded: "If you have any questions, take responsibility!"

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji with gratitude, but his heart was still good to him.

Changsun An also wanted to say something, but it was obvious that the two of them were getting angry and did not want to be this evil person.

Li Mengchang said cowardly: "Of course we can beat them, but King Qi took action himself, how dare we fight him?"

Li Shimin no longer paid attention to rushing into Wuliu Lane. When he saw several people running in a mess, Changsun Wuji saw that they were all his subordinates, Yu felt a little guilty towards Li Shimin.

At the end of the alley, a burst of laughter came, and Li Yuanji was shouting with fingers. When Li Shimin saw him, he was angry and rushed over. When the servants saw the King of Qin riding his horse angrily, they were all restrained.

In any case, the King of Qin fought on the battlefield, which was not something they dared to underestimate.

Li Yuanji was cursing: "It's really a villain! You grandsons dare to bully me. If I don't go to trouble you, you dare to come and care about me." Just as he was speaking, he saw Li Shimin's figure. Li Shimin came so fast that he was just now at the alley. He was like a gust of wind and wanted to stop him. When he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly retreated. Another person could not dodge and was kicked by a horse's hoof and flew out.

Li Yuanji had never seen such a fierce Li Shimin. He was so scared that his face was pale, his legs became weak, and he sat on the ground. It was obvious that the horse's hooves were raised high, life and death were at stake, and he rose up and rolled on the ground. With a "bang" sound, he hit the wall, which was full of stars.

A servant was coming to save him. Changsun Wuji and Duan Zhixuan arrived. With a wave of his hand, the servant had already flew out.

Li Yuanji stood up to endure the severe pain and before Venus dissipated, he saw the cold light coming to his eyes and said in horror: "Shimin, what are you doing?"

The tip of the sword had reached Li Yuanji's throat, and he stopped suddenly. Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Wugui, hand it over!"
To be continued...
