The Great Zhen Pass was broken and the news of the Tang army's defeat without food was reported to be back to Chang'an. Li Yuan's face turned pale and extremely ugly.

When the Tang Dynasty was established, people were unstable and the people were determined. He wanted to appease the various groups in Guanlong, and at the same time attracted talents, encourage farming, manage local areas, straighten institutions, etc. It took a period of time, as few months or as many as several years, before the forces in Guanzhong were completely controlled.

But now he is governing the new imperial court in Chang'an, and the institutions have just been improved, but his foreign war has repeatedly failed, which makes those aristocratic families with a wait-and-see attitude not optimistic about the Tang Dynasty.

He could have predicted that news of the defeat in the Northwest has spread, and it is estimated that many big families will continue to stay in the door and not participate in the new policy of the Tang Dynasty, because they are worried that the army of the Northwest tigers and wolfs will invade Chang'an in the future, and they will also be buried with them.

"Is there no one in the Northwest Chinese Army able to control this?" Li Yuan was very angry and said disgusting words.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. I, the Li family, are full of talents, and with so many heroes in the pass, can't we fight against the Northwest Army? The last general is willing to lead troops there." The speaker was Li Yuan's nephew Li Daoxuan.

Dugu Huaien said: "Your Majesty, the last time Xue Ju was defeated, Liu Hongji, Murong Luohu and others have been rescued. You can send these people to gather under the command of His Highness the Crown Prince to jointly block the attack of the Northwest Army. In addition, the young generals of Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Gongjin under the command of the King of Qin can also be sent to the prince for the dispatch of the prince, and they may be able to resist the invasion of Dahua's troops."

Now that Li Shimin is ill at home, many of his civil servants and military generals have been sent out to continue to serve the court. Now some people have proposed to temporarily send these to the crown prince, obviously wanting to take the opportunity to weaken the influence of the Qin King.

Li Yuan nodded when he heard this. For the time being, he did not consider who was a factional issue, but only cared about the situation and safety of the Tang Dynasty. Once he was threatened with the court, he would be uneasy, so he could not care about whether they were the prince or the king of Qin.

"This statement makes sense. I immediately ordered to mobilize a group of military generals and counselors to rush to the east bank of the Li River to gather troops to fight against the invasion of the northwest Chinese army in Fufeng County!" Li Yuan made a quick decision and sent someone to draft an imperial edict.

As a result, Li Daoxuan, Liu Hongji, Murong Luohu, Duan Zhixuan and others were all sent to the Crown Prince to obey the command.

On the other side, Yin Kaishan and Liu Wenjing led troops to resist the Chinese army led by Qu Tutong's attack on Anding County.

The northwest battlefield has already restrained more than 50% of the Tang Dynasty's military strength, and the remaining two or three hundred% are led by Li Xiaogong and Pei Ji, and are heading north to confront Song Jingang's army.

In the battle for hegemony among the princes, the Tang regime was also in the whirlpool of struggle. Some Guanlong nobles were watching and seeing whether Li Tang could hold on, because the young marshal at that time and the current Dahua king were not easy to mess with. He had grown up and had the ability to rule the world.

………

Yu Wenhe led a 100,000 elite army to break the siege of the Jiangnan Anti-King Alliance, left Jiangdu, headed north all the way, passed the Huai River, and entered Xiapi County.

There is a rebel king here, named Zhang Qixu, a native of Huainan, who used 30,000 troops to hoard them in the Xiapi area.

Yu Wen and the army had Yu Guluo, and the powerful generals of Yu Wen Chengdu naturally came in handy. After a head-on confrontation, they defeated the rebels. So they stayed in Xiapi County for several days and attacked Pengcheng County.

There are two rebel kings in Pengcheng County, namely Wei Qilin and Zhang Dabiao, each with tens of thousands of troops, occupying the mountains as kings, and occupying several county towns.

Yang Shilan advised: "Prime Minister Yuwen, we attack Pengcheng County and fight here is meaningless, and it only increases casualties. The soldiers are not in a high position to fight. They are eager to reach Dongdu as soon as possible. We might as well go west to Ruyin County and Runan County to replenish food and grass there. There are some noble families in Ruyang who coerced them to provide food and grass, as well as repair weapons, etc. to supplement our army's consumption. From Runan County north, it is Yingchuan County, which is also the southern gateway of Luoyang. We sat there to watch the tiger fight, watch Li Mi and Wang Shichong suffer both losses, and then take the opportunity to take down Dongdu. Prime Minister Yuwen may be able to control half of the country."

Yu Wenjie was a little moved when she heard this. After discussing with her brother Yu Wen Zhiji, son Yu Wen Chengji, Yu Wen Chengzhi and others, she felt it was very feasible, so she ordered the entire army to change its route and head towards Ruyin County, and gave up the march strategy of continuing to attack Pengcheng County.

However, Yu Wenhua and his nature are cold and greedy for wealth and do not have the ability to be a hero. So over time, the group of generals who elected his leader began to have opinions. It was just a lesson for Sima Dezhan, so no one dared to plan a mutiny for the time being, but his attitude was negative and he was not optimistic about the future.

Pei Ju did not die in Jiangdu Palace and was able to save his life, but he was in a bad mood because he knew Yu Wenji's ability clearly and knew that he would find it difficult to achieve great things. He was destined to fail in the fight against the king and the great forces of all parties. Moreover, all major forces have already regarded Yu Wenji as the target of the expedition, which can be said to be a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted to beat him.

"Uncle, where is our Pei family standing? Do you really want to be the same as Yu Culture and the other party?" Pei Shangyong complained a little.

Pei Ju glared at him, stretched his fingers to his mouth and shrewd, then walked to the door of the military tent and looked out. After seeing that there was no secret whistle to listen, he turned around and said, "The Pei family has a deep foundation and is full of talents. Although Brother Pei Yun was killed by Yu Wenwen and his anger, my Pei people were not massacred and their vitality was not damaged. Now we can hide in the dark and continue to watch. At present, Pei Renji and his son have defected to Li Mi. Pei Ji has become Li Tang's confidant civil officials, and other Pei people have served different vassal kings. This is to invest separately and put eggs in different baskets. There will always be successful people, and the luck of the first-class family will not decline."

Pei Shangyong said: "Uncle, nephew, can get the Northwest Army to accomplish something, and plans to slip away on the way and go to Dahua. I wonder if it is feasible?"

"It's too dangerous for you to walk alone."

"Not only myself, but also several handsome men, they also plan to escape from the team and defect to the wise leader." Pei Shangyong became passionate and paid special attention to the news of the war in the Northwest.

Pei Ju hesitated for a moment before sighing: "Okay, I will arrange a small errand for you, stay and get some food and grass, etc. At that time, you will have to choose whether to stay or not."

"Thank you for your accomplishment!" Pei Shangyong clasped his fists and looked excited.
