Chapter 28

"As soon as Yang Guang died, the world will be in chaos." Shen Yuanjing sighed and said, "The peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, hesitating, sad, the Qin and Han dynasties, the palaces and palaces have been made of earth. Prosperity, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer."

Li Shimin was stunned on the spot, repeating the two sentences "Rise, the people suffer, the people suffer, the people suffer", with a look of compassion in his eyes.

This is also what Shen Yuanjing admired the other party the most. He was born as a nobleman, but he understood the suffering of the people. He said the famous sayings such as "the king's boat, the people's water" and practiced it. Compared with the later emperors of the Zhu family, who were born in poor people and then made a big move to "the family, the world" after winning the world, it is undoubtedly much more admirable.

Although he did not go north to work on it, he really did a battle with Emperor Taizu of Ming to win the Central Plains and get a deer and a tripod to eat it.

After a while, Li Shimin escaped from the shock and admired the person in front of him more and more. He felt that he was one of the few wise men in the world. He could not only control the outcome of a battle, but also had a great impact on the world.

He got information about Shen Yuanjing from Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and his original intention was to use the relationship to convince the man to surrender to strengthen his own power. When he learned about Yang Gong’s treasure, he was even more eager and wanted to compete with Li Jiancheng based on his relationship.

Even now, Li Shimin lost all his power, but he still refused to give up. He stood up and bowed and said, "Shimin is willing to receive education. If you achieve something in the future, you will definitely live up to the people."

Shen Yuanjing said disapprovingly: "If you don't go west, you will have no chance in the future. If you don't go west, you will have no chance."

Li Shimin agreed that if he could not conquer Daxing City this time, the Li family could only retreat to Jinyang, and there were enemies on all sides, so it would be difficult to stay in a corner. If he captured this city, Li Jiancheng's prestige would be at its peak and his position as a prince would be unshakable.

He looked at the person in front of him, smiled bitterly, and said, "This is not thanks to the senior. The senior released the news of Yang Gong's treasure, destroyed Zhu Can and his group of forces, disturbing the world. The princes involuntarily accelerated their pace.

If I didn't find a way to let the Li family take this step early, a few months later, Daxing City might have to earn it for Xue Ju or Wang Shichong. In a hurry, I didn't care about anything else, so my elder brother went back and cried and told me that I would have become an idle person.

Besides, I heard that Qu Tutong was intending to defend Hedong. Before the plan to divide the troops into three groups could be implemented, he left and retreated again and again, leaving me without even the chance to recover.”

Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "Fortunately, I thought you were going to count the troubles caused by Xiao Zhong and Xiao Ling on my head?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "How could this happen? If you want to calculate it, you have to do it for success." He took out a pot of wine from somewhere and said, "You can't drink wine in the army. This is a pot I secretly hide, and I'll give you a glass to Senior Shen."

Shen Yuanjing took the cup, drank it all, and said, "It seems that I have been exposed to those two boys this time, otherwise I would have no credit and I would not even get a glass of wine."

Li Shimin repeatedly accused him of crimes, poured another glass, and said frankly: "Seniors came uninvited. I don't know whether it is an enemy or a friend. How can I share this hard-earned wine?"

"What about now?" Shen Yuanjing asked, "You are so sure, am I here to kill you?"

"What's the point of killing me?" Li Shimin said self-deprecating: "After I proposed to give up Daxing City for the time being and strive to capture Luoyang, I completely angered my father. Now that I am in this camp, I feel like I am under house arrest, life and death have nothing to do with the overall situation."

Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "It is indeed a good strategy. The so-called attack on the city is the best, and the attack on the heart is the best. If Luoyang falls into the hands of the Li family, it will not only have the foundation for establishing a career, but also isolate the contact with Yang Guang, the city of Daxing will be in panic and will be destroyed without attacking."

He smiled again, "But it is precisely because you are so outstanding that you will kill you. Could it be that you can kill such a mediocre talent as your father and brother, and let you get to power?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly again, raised his wine glass and said, "Senior Chen said that, but he is as wise as a torch. He can't escape your palms with such a plan. Even if my father listened to my plan, he might be in Luoyang now."

Shen Yuanjing nodded and said, "That's natural. I have planned to go to Dongdu, but it seems that it's not useful now. You have marching in a hurry, so there will definitely not be much food and grass. If you turned to Luoyang with the general trend at the beginning, there would be some hope. Now we have been in stalemate for three months, and our spirit has been lost. Don't say that Luoyang can retreat safely to Jinyang and protect the rear. It's a good ending."

Li Shimin was silent, knowing that the other party had seen a problem. This time, the Li family sent troops, but the rear was actually unstable. With Liu Wuzhou and Liang troops, they were supported by the Turks and were eyeing them covetously. They originally planned to seize Daxing City and use this as a basis to move their clans.

After a long time, he said, "Why are you doing this for senior? Could you still expect Yang Sui to start again?"

Shen Yuanjing shook his head and said, "How could it be? Yang Guang was the emperor, abused the people's power, and was extremely extravagant, which led to chaos in the world, and the population of the Central Plains was sharply reduced, and there was a worry about the Five Barbarians' invasion of China. If he did not destroy his ancestral temple, his descendants would become emperors. Even if this person was executed by Lingchi, he could still enjoy the sacrifice every year. Wouldn't it be a good thing for him?"

Li Shimin was a little puzzled and asked directly: "Seniors also hate him. In order to reconcile, they also want to stop the Li family from conquering Daxing City. If this city falls, Yu Wenhua will definitely take action immediately. The end of the tyrant king is only in front of him."

"If I want to take his life, I can just take it with one sword. What should I do after the Sui Dynasty falls?" Shen Yuanjing asked back, "Is it still the same? Day after day, the nobles sang and danced wildly year after year, and the world is full of wonderful things, but the people in the lower world are going to suffer from these two oppressions, and there is no day to stand out?"

"What do you want to do at the senior?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice.

Shen Yuanjing took a deep breath and replied loudly: "I only have three wishes. One is that those who enter the Central Plains are not allowed to be the captives anymore; the second is that those who win the world cannot rely on the power of aristocratic families; the third is that people should be blessed with the people and the changes of dynasties cannot be controlled by the forces of the rivers and lakes."

Li Shimin was shocked and said again: "Senior is ambitious and points out the disadvantages of today. I admire you very much!" After bowing and bowing, he sighed again: "No wonder Senior wants to block my family outside Daxing City. The Li family is more or less involved in these three points."

When he saw Shen Yuanjing's masterful plan, he was secretly happy, feeling that there was still a little chance. As long as the other party was willing to help him and Daxingcheng was within his reach, his situation in the Li family would suddenly reverse and he still had the opportunity to compete for the crown prince.

But the other party's words shattered his dream. He is also a master. He knows that those who can practice martial arts to such an extent will inevitably be firm in their minds and it will be difficult to change the things that have been decided. Unless he leaves the Li family and starts from scratch, the other party will never be able to surrender.

Seeing that he was a little depressed, Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "Li Qi really has nothing to do with this, but you may not be sure."
