The man who was highly expected by Liu Rengui received a letter of help from Li Chengqian two days earlier than Wang Fangyi.

Wang Fangyi was marching, so Li Chengqian's letter of help was sent to Lingzhou City by flying pigeons, and then transferred to Wang Fangyi.

Shuofang City where Li Shimin is located is an important rear material supply station for Li Chengqian, and there is a Feige letter receiving point.

On this day, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian discussed the war between the Tang Dynasty and Xue Yantuo.

Li Shimin originally wanted to conquer the tribes in Mobei first and he wanted to fight Goguryeo in the east, but with the continuous actions of Li Chengqian and the Uighurs, the Tang Dynasty and the tribes in Mobei had to fight a tough battle.

Fortunately, Li Shimin's prestige was enough to suppress all forces within the Tang Dynasty. He said that if he didn't fight, no one dared to say no, except Li Chengqian. He said that he would fight the entire court and follow the efforts, which made the situation in the Tang Dynasty still optimistic.

The three of them were discussing and suddenly heard the eunuch outside report: "I will report to your Majesty, Yang Hongli, the Minister of the Ministry of War, to ask for a meeting."

Li Shimin originally just regarded Yang Hongli as a voice-over, thinking that it would be enough for him to do things to the royal family before he came from.

However, as the war in northern Xinjiang became more and more complicated, Yang Hongli was no longer competent, so Yang Hongli changed from the peace talks with the tribes in the north of Mo to being responsible for recruiting military supplies from all parts of the Tang Dynasty.

"Tell him in."

Li Shimin heard that he came to ask for a meeting and thought that there was something wrong with the military supplies and he was busy coming in, but he thought in his heart that Yang Hongli was too incompetent.

After a while, Yang Hongli went into the hall and saluted Li Shimin with joy: "See Your Majesty."

When Li Shimin saw this, he waved his hand and said, "Yang Qing is calm!" As soon as Yang Hongli looked up, he asked directly, "Why are Yang Qing coming to see me?"

As the saying goes, although Yang Hongli has limited ability, he was born in the royal family in the previous dynasty and was immersed in the officialdom for many years. Naturally, he could hear the impatientness in Li Shimin's tone.

He dared not say much at the moment, and reported directly to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, the prince's family order Pei Xingjian was ordered to escort five thousand stones of gunpowder to support the Northern Expedition."

"gunpowder?"

Li Shimin widened his eyes when he heard this.

Li Shimin has always been very eager for gunpowder, but because gunpowder has always been in the hands of Li Chengqian, Li Shimin is afraid of causing Li Chengqian's misunderstanding and has been resisting the failure to seize control of gunpowder.

This time, Hou Junji, the Northern Expedition, suggested that a batch of gunpowder be recruited from the East Palace and brought it to the north. Li Shimin did not use the secret of leaking gunpowder because he was worried about the widespread use.

When Li Shimin understood the characteristics of gunpowder, he always regarded gunpowder as a killer who fought against Goguryeo. Now he suddenly heard that Pei Xingjian was ordered to send gunpowder, and he couldn't help but wonder who gave Pei Xingjian the order.

Could it be Li Chengqian?

"Xuan Pei Xingjian comes in." The impatientness in Li Shimin's voice became more and more obvious.

After a while, Pei Xingjian, the handsome and handsome Pei Xingjian walked into the hall and bowed to Li Shimin and said, "I am Pei Xingjian, please see Your Majesty."

Unlike Yang Hongli and Li Shimin, who was kind to Pei Xingjian, can be said to be kind to him.

"Pei Qing's family has worked hard all the way, so hurry up and settle down."

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Pei Xingjian was calm.

"Did the gunpowder brought by Pei Qing's family this time be sent to the prince?" Li Shimin tentatively.

Although Li Shimin had not spoken to his ministers so carefully for a long time, hypocrisy was the magical power of a politician, so even though he was a very young Pei Xingjian, who was not of high official character and was still used to be perfect.

"Go to Your Majesty, I am sending gunpowder to Your Majesty on the order of His Highness."

"Oh!" Li Shimin nodded, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.

"When will Chengqian pass the order to Chang'an?" Li Shimin continued to ask.

"Go back to Your Majesty, it was not long before the New Year that Your Majesty sent troops, and the Crown Prince heard that Your Majesty did not bring gunpowder, so he ordered the minister to prepare." Pei Xingjian said calmly.

"Okay! Chengqian is intent." Li Shimin looked at Pei Xingjian and sighed.

Fang Xuanling sighed in his heart in the hall: As long as Li Chengqian is kind to Li Shimin, Li Shimin feels very relieved now, and he is really kind and filial to his father and son. However, when it comes to the battle for power, both father and son do not give in at all. This time, Li Shimin seized Li Chengqian's military power, and Li Chengqian must find someone to settle the score when he comes to the show. I don't know what will happen, and whether to find a reason to hide and avoid being affected by the fish.

Li Shimin asked Pei Xingjian a few more questions about Chang'an City and was about to beat him out, but he heard Li Ke's voice in panic from outside the hall.

"The father, the emperor, the son, have an urgent matter."

Immediately afterwards, the door of the hall was pushed open by Li Ke. Several eunuchs followed Li Ke and wanted to stop him but couldn't stop him. They looked at Li Shimin with a look of embarrassment.

Seeing this, Li Shimin's face suddenly became dark and said, "Why did the King of Wu break into the palace?" He was charged with a great crime.

Li Ke was really anxious at this moment. Hearing this, he hurriedly knelt down and held a memorial with his hands and said in a crying voice: "Father, brother, is surrounded by Xue Yan's tens of thousands."

"What?"

Li Shimin suddenly stood up and said.

After that, he didn't wait for the eunuch to report to the eunuch to go around the table and run down himself. Seeing this, Li Ke walked forward.

Li Shimin snatched the paper from Li Ke's hand, looked down and saw that it was clearly written on it. When Li Chengqian left the camp, he only had eight thousand cavalry beside him and was surrounded by 90,000 Xue Yantuo's army on three sides. How many days will it be before the army in Yuchi Gong's camp...

"Bang"

After reading the letter, Li Shimin wanted to kill someone, but couldn't find the right one to kill, so he kicked a small short table away.

"Your Majesty calms down, it is better to rescue the prince." Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian also stood up. At this time, seeing that Li Shimin was about to lose his etiquette, he hurried forward to advise him.

Li Shimin snorted coldly from his nose when he heard this, raised his head and said with murderous aura: "I want to destroy this 'Xue Yantuo' himself."

After saying that, he said loudly: "I sent my order to order Li Shiji's three armies to start a war with Xue Yantuo immediately. I will arrive later. I will also order someone to bring the gunpowder with me. I want these ignorant barbarians to see the power of heaven..."

As Li Shimin passed down one by one, the war machines that were walking here immediately reached their peak.

Pei Xingjian left the hall and immediately said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Crown Prince is now surrounded, so please send me a message to General Xue Rengui."

Li Ke nodded and went back when he heard this and sent someone to ride a fast horse to deliver a letter to Xue Rengui.

Here, Li Shimin was determined to go to the front line to persuade the ministers that failed, so he ordered Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian to stay behind and be responsible for the dispatch of materials in the rear.

He personally took Hou Junji, Xue Wanche, Li Ke and others to the front line, and Pei Xingjian also brought five hundred stones of gunpowder with him, and the remaining gunpowder was handed over to Yang Hongli for escort.

In the military camp north of Changze City, Li Shiji and Li Daliang and Zhang Shigui studied the situation of Xue Yantuo's army every day to prepare to defeat Xue Yantuo in one battle.

Now I suddenly heard that Xue Yantuo secretly sent an army of 90,000 to besiege Li Chengqian and Li Shiji and the other two were mixed with joy and sorrow.

What was so happy was that the Tang Dynasty did not have the advantage in its military strength, so the three of them tried their best to eliminate Xue Yantuo's military strength. Now Xue Yantuo sent 90,000 people to besiege Li Chengqian, which had no advantage in the Tang Dynasty.

What I worry about is that if this advantage is exchanged for Li Chengqian, they will be punished even if they eliminate all the Xue Yantuo army.
