During this period, Xiao Feng had a clearer understanding of some of the actual situation around the invasion of the Turks and the incident of Liu Wuzhou invasion of Luoyang.

Xiao Feng’s biggest feeling was that the dilemma faced by King Li Shimin of Qin was far beyond his imagination.

Indeed, Li Shimin's methods also made Xiao Feng secretly admire him. Being able to push Luoyang to the position of Dongdu under such difficult circumstances can really show Li Shimin's methods and long-term vision, which is enough to prove that he is a person worthy of his support.

But from another perspective, it can also be analyzed that Li Yuan had just confirmed that Luoyang would be the Eastern Capital, and Jie Li Khan over there personally led an army of 200,000, plus Liu Wuzhou's 100,000 elite soldiers to approach Luoyang. Is this just a coincidence?

If Jie Li Khan really wanted to plot against the Tang capital Chang'an, the route he took shouldn't have gone so big.

This can only show that Jie Li Khan's goal, nominally, was just a plan to Luoyang, because the Turks successively conquered Wencheng County, Longquan County and Jiang County, occupied a large piece of land between the Fen River and the Yellow River, although they could cross the Yellow River westward and approach Chang'an, they could also go south to the Fen River and command Luoyang.

This can explain why the Turks went beyond the near and far, circled around such a generation and entered the Central Plains.

There is no doubt that if the Turks eventually defeated the army of Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin, the Tang Dynasty would definitely discuss peace with the Turks and give up Luoyang in exchange for the Turks' retreat.

The Turks are now forces that no one can afford to offend.

From this perspective, it can also be seen that Jie Li Khan was taking advantage of the internal conflicts between the crown prince of Tang Li Jiancheng and the Qin King Li Shimin to create opportunities to completely suppress Li Shimin.

I believe that Jie Li Khan also knew that Li Yuan made Luoyang the Eastern Capital, and in fact, he had the idea of ​​reusing Li Shimin again.

But why did Jie Li Khan suppress Li Shimin so much? Why did he risk the complete opposition with the Tang Dynasty to mobilize Liu Wuzhou so much?

Or, who is so worried about Li Shimin's regaining power?

This is a problem that Xiao Feng couldn't figure out.

Of course, Xiao Feng knew in his heart that there was one person among them who definitely did not want to see Li Shimin gain power again.

This person is Jin Zhendong, the Emperor of Goryeo.

Xiao Feng is now fully confident that Li Shimin was defeated by Dou Jiande six years ago, and it must be inseparable from the Korean Emperor Jin Zhendong, because Jin Zhendong knew Li Shimin's true ability and was also afraid that the entire Central Plains would be unified in the hands of Li Shimin. Therefore, he would do everything possible to hinder Li Shimin's strength and prevent the Tang Dynasty from unifying the whole world.

Indeed, if Li Shimin defeated Dou Jiande and then occupied all the land in Shandong and Hebei controlled by Dou Jiande, then the Tang Dynasty would have nearly one-third of the land and nearly half of the population.

With this foundation, the Tang Dynasty's unification of the world could not be disturbed by Jin Zhendong.

Jin Zhendong came from later generations and roughly knew the direction of the Tang Dynasty. Relying on the strength of his Goryeo Dynasty, he really had the opportunity to suppress Li Shimin like this.

That's why Li Shimin was in a slump for six years.

Xiao Feng is not sure whether there is a tacit understanding between Jin Zhendong and Jie Li Khan, but from the perspective of the two suppressing Li Shimin so consistently, Xiao Feng cannot rule out this suspicion.

Because what Jin Zhendong needs most now is still a split Central Plains, which are evenly matched by all sides.

The Central Plains will be divided for one day, and their Goryeo dynasty will be stronger for one day.

For the Turks, they also needed chaos in the Central Plains to allow them to benefit from it.

If it was true as Jie Li Khan and Liu Wuzhou planned this time, Li Shimin lost Luoyang and Liu Wuzhou obtained Luoyang, the situation in the Central Plains would naturally be more in line with the needs of Jin Zhendong and Jie Li Khan.

From then on, Li Shimin, who had no support, might really lose the opportunity to grasp the highest power of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty would also suffer great damage to its strength due to the loss of Luoyang.

From this perspective, Xiao Feng can see that Li Shimin not only has powerful opponents within the Tang Dynasty, but also has extremely powerful enemies around the Tang Dynasty. They do not want Li Shimin to gain power.

After reaching this conclusion, Xiao Feng must modify the plan he had formulated before.

Xiao Feng's original plan was to find a way to use Li Xiaogong to slowly lurk to Li Shimin, and finally support Li Shimin to take over the supreme power of the entire Tang Dynasty, and then rely on Li Shimin to continuously complete his countermeasures against Jin Zhendong, the emperor of the Goryeo Dynasty.

But at this moment, it seems that Xiao Feng is unwise to appear by Li Shimin.

Because Li Shimin's strength is not strong enough, the degree of attention he is too high. So many enemies are lurking in the dark, paying attention to Li Shimin at all times. If Xiao Feng appears beside Li Shimin, even if he is low-key, he will probably slowly attract Jin Zhendong's attention.

Xiao Feng now needs time to make himself stronger, so he cannot expose himself too quickly.

Therefore, he wanted to stay away from Li Shimin, then hide in the dark, slowly control everything, and support Li Shimin to take power.

Xiao Feng knew that his biggest advantage now was that Jin Zhendong could not know that he had also come to the Tang Dynasty. When he was chasing Jin Zhendong, he had only met Jin Zhendong. Jin Zhendong did not know the background of the Chinese special forces chasing him.

This is Xiao Feng’s current advantage, just like Jin Zhendong hiding in the dark, suppressing Li Shimin and secretly manipulating the situation in the Central Plains, what Xiao Feng has to do now is to hide in the dark, slowly cultivate various forces, support Li Shimin, and use various methods to fight Jin Zhendong.

One day, I will be strong enough and the entire Chinese nation will be strong enough. At that time, even if Jin Zhendong knows that he has come to the Tang Dynasty, what's the point?

As a special forces soldier, Xiao Feng deeply understands the importance of hiding his identity, not to mention in such extremely complex and unfavorable situations.

In fact, only those who are truly invisible in the dark will play the most critical role when necessary.

Just like Xiao Feng's assassination of Jie Li Khan this time.

Of course, there is another very important reason why Xiao Feng made the decision to stay away from Li Shimin at this moment.

During this period, as Xiao Feng's understanding of Li Shimin deepened, he became more convinced that a hero like Li Shimin could not have sincere friends. He only needed loyal subordinates and people who were valuable to him.

Although Xiao Feng has become Li Shimin's nominal brother, he will never be too optimistic about his relationship with Li Shimin.

So Xiao Feng felt that he could secretly support Li Shimin to control the power of the entire Tang Dynasty, but he would never really become Li Shimin's friend.

This time, Li Shimin did the matter of cooking raw rice without Xiao Feng's consent, which made everyone think that he was his brother, which made Xiao Feng feel too high-profile and too close to Li Shimin. How could he continue to move closer to Li Shimin at this moment?

Now choose to continue to move closer to Li Shimin, gain a temporary glory and leave endless troubles.

Xiao Feng, how could a person who has such a clear mind make such a very unwise choice if he has such a certain ability to grasp the overall situation?
