Xiao Feng is not very optimistic about Li Xiaogong's move to fight Jie Li Khan this time.

However, Xiao Feng had no choice but to go to the battle with Li Xiaogong.

According to Xiao Feng's judgment at this moment, if the Tang Dynasty was indeed as requested by Jie Li Khan and finally surrendered from Liu Wuzhou from Luoyang City, although it could be safe for a while, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty would be severely set. What's more, Li Shimin, who was now entrusted by Xiao Feng, would lose his final support.

Will the Tang Dynasty, which has lost Li Shimin, still be the Tang Dynasty?

If this is true, which force does Xiao Feng have to rely on to fight against the biggest enemy of the Chinese nation?

Of course, Xiao Feng is also sure that the reason why Li Shimin was able to "strike public opinion" this time was that Li Jiancheng's faction was not bad intentions. In anyone's eyes, Li Shimin brought 40,000 elite troops to fight against the 200,000 Turkic cavalry this time, was undoubtedly a stone attack with eggs.

In the view of Li Jiancheng's faction, if Li Shimin loses again, although they will inevitably lose Luoyang City, relying on the Guanzhong area, plus Hanzhong, Sichuan and other places, Li Tang still has the power to admire the world.

Moreover, among Li Jiancheng's faction, there may still be such a view, that is, the loss of Luoyang is not necessarily a bad thing for Li Tang, especially when handing Luoyang to Liu Wuzhou.

The reason why Li Tang now has borders with Liu Wuzhou in the north, Dou Jiande in the east, Du Fuwei in the south, and Xiao Xian in the south, is that there is a possibility of military conflict because the Tang Dynasty occupied Luoyang City.

If the Tang Dynasty lost Luoyang City, there would be only two enemies that the Tang Dynasty would face head-on from now on, only Liu Wuzhou in the north and Xiao Xian in the south.

Probably, this is the main reason why Li Jiancheng's faction unscrupulously wanted to give up Luoyang. Losing Luoyang was not a fatal blow to the Tang Dynasty at this moment, but it was a fatal blow to Li Shimin.

That's all.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Two days later, in the large campus outside Luoyang City, 40,000 elite Tang troops were ready to go in a tragic atmosphere.

Now, before Li Jiancheng arrived from Chang'an, Liu Wuzhou's army was approaching all the way, but Li Xiaogong could no longer wait. After Jie Li Khan's 200,000 army approached Chang'an, I was afraid that Chang'an would really make the decision to give up Luoyang.

Therefore, in later history, a military layout that seemed extremely ridiculous was happening under such a subtle situation.

Use Luoyang troops to fight against the Turkic cavalry and relieve the dangers of Chang'an. Then use Chang'an troops to rescue Luoyang. Is there any more ridiculous military action in the world than this?

But at this time, the Li Tang forces made such a decision.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this battle basically determined Li Tang's future political direction.

Although Emperor Gaozu was wise, he was old. Faced with the complex situation in front of him, his body gradually became unbearable. Who could control the future of Emperor Gaozu?

Is it the legitimate prince Li Jiancheng, or the Qin King Li Shimin, who was once highly expected by Emperor Gaozu?

This is an important concern to all subjects among the Li Tang forces.

After this battle, you can basically see the conclusion.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Six days later, Xiao Feng followed the army and stayed overnight in the morning and arrived in Linfen County. Through the Fen River, the Turkic camp was opposite.

This time, Jie Li Khan approached Chang'an, but the path he took was extremely intriguing.

He could be said to have taken a long way to go, from Dingxiang County of Liu Wuzhou to the Central Plains, and then passed by Mayi County. At this moment, he had already captured Wencheng County, Longquan County and Jiang County, which originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, which had originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty. After robbing, he heard that Li Tang had 40,000 reinforcements came to Linfen County on the other side of the Fen River. They turned around and came straight to Linfen County. They set up dense tents on the other side of the Fen River, which lasted for more than ten miles, confronting Li Xiaogong across the bank.

As for Liu Wuzhou's army, it surrounded Changping County outside Luoyang and was besieged day and night.

Dou Jiande, on the east side of Luoyang, was already gathering troops to Dongjun along the Yellow River. The specific military strength was unknown. It seemed that the target was Xingyang County, Dongdamen of Luoyang. However, it can also be seen that Dou Jiande came with the mentality of fishing for troubled waters.

This time, the 200,000 Turkic cavalry were directed at Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. Although Dou Jiande intended to be involved in Luoyang, he also knew that with his strength, Liu Wuzhou, who had been helped by the Turks, would never have the idea of ​​making a fortune. So he was the idea of ​​making a fortune by the time he could make a fortune.

Just as the storm and turbulent day was waiting, Xiao Feng saw the person he wanted to see the most.

This person is Li Shimin, the famous wise ruler of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Tang Taizong, was later.

If he was put into an unchanged history, he must have experienced the "Xuanwu Gate Change" and ascended the throne of the Tang Dynasty. With his efforts to govern, the entire Tang Dynasty began to enter the "Zhenguan Governance" period. The entire Tang Dynasty and even the entire Chinese nation will rise again.

Unfortunately, that is nothing but history that has not been changed.

Therefore, at this time, Li Shimin was extremely powerless. Although the three thousand "Xuanjia Jingqi" he led were all elite troops, there were only three thousand people.

On the afternoon of the day when Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong met, Xiao Feng was introduced to Li Shimin by Li Xiaogong.

Over the past six days, Xiao Feng has been following Li Xiaogong as a "guest minister", but it also gave Li Xiaogong a more intuitive impression of him, or to put it more directly, that is, Li Xiaogong recognizes Xiao Feng's character and strength even more.

That's why Xiao Feng and Li Shimin met tonight.

In fact, in name, Li Xiaogong was still the commander of this army, but Li Xiaogong recognized Li Shimin. Therefore, after he joined Li Shimin, he took the initiative to place himself in a subordinate position and handed over the power to command the army to Li Shimin.

Li Xiaogong himself is Li Yuan's cousin, nearly ten years older than Li Shimin. He can be regarded as Li Shimin's cousin, but he knows Li Shimin's true ability. Six years ago, he fought side by side with Li Shimin.

Although Li Shimin was defeated by Dou Jiande at that time, Li Shimin finally had only 8,000 elite soldiers, but Dou Jiande faced with an army of 100,000.

At that time, it was precisely because Li Shimin sent troops to fight Dou Jiande that Li Xiaogong had given enough time to gather all the Li Tang troops around Luoyang City into Luoyang City, gathered 20,000 elite troops to strengthen Luoyang's defense, and finally defended Luoyang City for the Tang Dynasty. After Dou Jiande was forced to retreat, he put all the dozens of counties around Luoyang City into the Tang Dynasty's bag.

Because he knew the mystery, Li Xiaogong did not give up Li Shimin after Li Shimin was defeated by Dou Jiande and lost Li Yuan's trust.

It is precisely because of the intimate relationship between Li Xiaogong and Li Shimin that when Li Xiaogong recommended Xiao Feng to Li Shimin, Li Shimin met Xiao Feng in this big tent on the spot.

So, Xiao Feng and this contemporary, most "great" person in his mind were sitting together and talking loudly.

The meeting between Xiao Feng and Li Shimin is described in a sentence from later generations, which is "Mars hit the Earth". Twenty years later, there was an extra play in the novels and operas of unofficial history, called "Two Dragons Meeting", which talks about the meeting between Xiao Feng and Li Shimin this time.

Not to mention Li Shimin's feelings towards Xiao Feng, it must be described as "stunning". Even Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel extremely surprised at the most "great" young man in the contemporary era.

It should be noted that Xiao Feng is from later generations and understands the original historical development direction, so he has such profound insights into the arrangements of Jin Zhendong and the Goryeo dynasties.

But Li Shimin was a contemporary person after all, and he could point out to the point that the biggest enemy of the entire Li Tang power was not Liu Wuzhou, who recognized the thief as his father, Dou Jiande, who was born in the wild, Du Fuwei, who owned the Jianghuai land, or Xiao Xian, who occupied a wider land than the Tang Dynasty, but the Goryeo Dynasty that dominated the Northeast and looked at the Central Plains.

Although the Goryeo Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty do not have a border now, the Goryeo Dynasty is indeed the biggest enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Li Shimin had a very clear understanding of things such as "the disaster of blessings and precious smoke", "buying and selling slaves", and the Goryeo businessmen who occupied half of the entire Central Plains industry and vaguely had some preliminary understanding of the Goryeo dynasty's policy of "raising the Goryeo dynasty with the power of the Central Plains". Of course, his understanding of these things was not as direct as Xiao Feng, who had experienced the pain of the Chinese nation's history in the future, but it was indeed not easy for him to realize this.

As a wise monarch in history, Li Shimin is indeed qualified to become a wise monarch in history.

With this alone, Xiao Feng knew that it would be many times better to hand over the entire Tang Dynasty to Li Shimin than to the mediocre Li Jiancheng.

However, through the long and open chat with Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong tonight, Xiao Feng clearly understood the crisis Li Shimin was facing at this moment.

Indeed, this battle was Li Shimin's last big bet, and Li Shimin couldn't afford to lose!

However, even if Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong talked about this, they were still unsure of it when they fought against the opponent's 200,000 troops with only 40,000 elite soldiers.

It should be noted that this is not 200,000 ordinary soldiers, but 200,000 Turkic cavalry coming and going like the wind.

And more importantly, Li Shimin couldn't afford this time.

Although Li Tang sent 50,000 elite troops from Chang'an to support Luoyang, the leader was Prince Li Jiancheng. Can you expect him to do his best to defend Luoyang City for Li Xiaogong? I am afraid that he will not make trouble at that time, which is good.

To defend Luoyang, I can only rely on Li Xiaogong's most capable Li Jing. Unfortunately, Li Jing finally had less than 40,000 elite soldiers, but he was facing Liu Wuzhou's 100,000 army. The commander of Liu Wuzhou's 100,000 army was very popular, but Song King Song Jingang, who was also famous all over the world.

What's more, in addition to Song Jingang's 100,000 army, there is also Dou Jiande who is ready to move. If the opportunity allows, Dou Jiande will not give up any opportunity to plot against Luoyang.

Therefore, Li Shimin chose the most powerful Turkic force as a breakthrough to break the difficult situation in Luoyang. One word must be reflected, that is, "fast".

To defeat the Turks, the faster the better!

If Li Shimin can realize this, how could Jie Li Khan not see this?

This time, Jie Li Khan entered the Central Plains, and he really didn't want to wander around Chang'an.

Guanzhong is the foundation of Li Tang. Li Tang would rather lose Luoyang than Guanzhong. Jie Li Khan knew that he really wanted to cross the Yellow River west and point directly to Chang'an, but he was afraid that it would really arouse Li Tang's full-scale counterattack. In any case, Li Tang's army was still the strongest among the five major forces.

Therefore, Jie Li Khan just wanted to plunder the wealthy land in the Central Plains, and also supported his lackey Liu Wuzhou. Although Liu Wuzhou has seized Jinyang City, the former founding place of Li Tang, and has seized Zhuo County. From Zhuo County along the Grand Canal to Shangdang County, he has basically fallen into the hands of Liu Wuzhou, among the major forces, he is still the weakest side.

However, if Liu Wuzhou could take Luoyang, it would be different. Liu Wuzhou's strength could be elevated to a new level, and he was not afraid of Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei.

Moreover, this time, Jie Li Khan went south with such a big fanfare, and it was precisely because of the ambiguous attitude towards Luoyang among the Li Tang forces that he forced Li Tang to give up Luoyang voluntarily. Jie Li Khan believed that if his army had set out to cross the Yellow River and approach Guanzhong, it must be when Li Tang had to consider giving up Luoyang.

Because among the Li Tang forces, Li Jiancheng's side, who was in power, did not care about a mere Luoyang City. In their opinion, losing Luoyang City can not only completely attack Li Shimin's supportive forces, but also prevent Li Tang from falling into the state of making enemies on multiple sides. Why not do it?

It has to be said that Li Jiancheng's short-sighted vision is indeed beyond Li Shimin's comparison.

How could such a Luoyang city located in the core of the Central Plains be lost so easily?

The above reasons are the real reasons why Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong can't stand it at this moment.

Xiao Feng was also very clear about these reasons.

A battle may not necessarily lead to victory, and it is even more difficult to delay. So what should Li Shimin do?

Just as Xiao Feng, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong were discussed in detail, an extremely bold plan gradually formed in Xiao Feng's mind.

This plan is really bold!

Why is Xiao Feng so bold?

Because, through this afternoon's talk, Xiao Feng had decided to hand over the Tang Dynasty to Li Shimin.

Six years ago, Jin Zhendong made Li Shimin lose everything that originally belonged to him. Six years later, Xiao Feng wanted to help Li Shimin get everything he deserved!

Xiao Feng felt that Li Shimin's ability deserves his high hopes.

Among the entire Li Tang power, it seems that only Li Shimin deserves his high hopes.
