Taiyuan County is the capital of Jinyang City.

In the night, this northern city is like a giant beast, lying on the north bank of Jinshui and on the east side of Xuanwen Mountain.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Dong Hu, a servant of the Jin State, founded the city here. From then on, this place was the heart of the Hedong land, radiating and controlling the Taiyuan Basin and standing in front of the mountains and rivers. It can cross the river in the west and threaten Guanzhong, but goes south to see the Central Plains Basin, and crossing the eight passes of Taihang to the north and crossing the flanks of Hebei. It is located in the north and is in a high position and has a high position.

Over the past thousand years, Jinyang City has always been one of the centers of Northern China. In the past dynasties, in order to compete for this vital place, countless powerful troops fought to the death here, and countless heroes may have achieved their lifetime achievements here, or they may have failed to survive.

Jinyang City was also added and built over the years, eventually becoming a scene of a great capital. Especially since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, two generations of emperors had built a large-scale construction in Jinyang City. First, Emperor Kaihuang expanded the Jinyang Palace built by Gao Huan, the powerful minister of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Then, Emperor Daye, he built a city wall outside the Jinyang Palace, and then connected the Jinyang Palace wall with the Jinyang City wall. The manpower and material resources were exhausted. At the time of Yang Xuangan's rebellion, the expansion of Jinyang City was one of the crimes of Emperor Daye, and the Great Canal was ranked alongside the east expedition to Goryeo and digging the Grand Canal.

The original intention of Emperor Daye is to be the capital Chang'an, Luoyang, Jiangdu and Jinyang as palaces to visit from time to time in the future, and use these four capitals as the foundation to rule the entire Sui Empire.

After the expansion of Jinyang Palace, food, fodder, wealth, weapons, armor and armor were continuously transported over, and the Six Armies Yingyang Mansion was set up in Jinyang to protect the palace.

But although the city was established, the country's power was getting worse, and the emperor of Daye ran to Jiangdu sadly. Before leaving, he could only surrender to the aristocratic families. With Duke Li Yuan of Tang as the governor of Taiyuan County, Jinyang Palace Supervisor, he was in charge of the family fortune that was enough to shock Northern China and the two generations of Emperors of Sui Dynasty.

The Emperor of Daye really hoped that after giving such a powerful position, this one of the eight pillars of the founding country would be able to be in harmony with the Yang family. If not, it would be better that this was a family of families who had captured each other in northern China and were in charge of death. With the assistance of his loyal ministers, the Xiaoguo Army was quietly watching the storm of the Central Plains and waiting for future opportunities.

In addition, Emperor Daye also made personnel arrangements as much as possible to restrain these aristocratic families who held great power. For example, in Mayi County, the one who restrained Wang Rengong was Liu Wuzhou. In Taiyuan County, the one who restrained Tang Duke Li Yuan was Pei Ji, the deputy supervisor of Jinyang Palace promoted by Emperor Daye, and Liu Wenjing, the ruler of Jinyang. You should know that Liu Wenjing's father was the confidant of Emperor Kaihuang. After the death of Emperor Kaihuang in battle for Emperor Kaihuang, the two generations of the Yang family have always been very fond of Liu Wenjing, almost the identity of a trusted retainer. At a young age, he was promoted to an important position like Jinyang Order!

But Li Yuan, Duke of Tang, had too many family backgrounds, too high reputations, and too many old friends. After being suppressed for these years, once he had a real reputation and held great power, after the Emperor of Daye went to Jiangdu, he would be like a dragon returning to the sea and could no longer be copied!

Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, who were acting as a detachment, all came to serve. Liu Wenjing even worked hard to travel to the frontier area in the clouds for the great cause of the Duke of Tang. This majestic city, the Jinyang Palace, which was built on countless people in the Sui Dynasty, was already named Li at this moment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the terrace of Jinyang Palace Cheng, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the clear light is paved with the ground. The ground paved with bluestone is like water, fluctuating gently.

A tall young man was standing on the terrace holding his sword, raising his head to look at the moon like an ice plate above his head.

Chengtu is the highest place of Jinyang Palace, and it is ten feet high on the flat ground. At the feet of this young man, there are 100,000 residents of Jinyang City, 20,000 elite soldiers of the three Eagle Yang Mansions in Taiyuan County, the rivers and mountains of Hedong, and the entire Sui world that collapses and is waiting for the new master.

But in the future, everything belongs to my father and my brother.

This young man is about the same age as Xu Le, but he looks a little one or two years older. In terms of thick eyebrows, he is the typical appearance of the Li family in Longxi. There is a little short beard under his lips and jaws. It is very different from Xu Le's handsome and handsome appearance.

This young man is called Li Shimin, who is the second son of Li Yuan, Duke of Tang. He is regarded as a heroic figure by the world and is too peer.

When the children of other aristocratic families were still living in Luoyang, Chang'an, enjoying the bride of their fathers and grandparents, he was only sixteen years old and followed the general Yun Dingxing to join the army to rescue the Emperor Daye trapped in Yanmen. I don't know how many people praised him, the Li family's majestic and vigorous horse will surely shine the lintel in the future.

But now Li Shimin is standing on the Cheng terrace, depressed.

The reason is nothing else. Li Yuan’s eldest son is his brother Li Jiancheng after all.

The Sui Dynasty collapsed and the heroes rose up. The empire that had swallowed the country more than ten years ago became so weak. Even though Li Shimin had the ambition to clarify the world since childhood, he never feared taking risks and taking difficulties and was indifferent to the attack. But when his father was about to raise his troops, his father still gave his greatest trust to his brother.

Li Yuan personally led the two of the three Yingyang Mansions in Taiyuan County. The other Yingyang Mansion was handed over to his brother Li Jiancheng. This means that once he raises an army, he can only follow his father and play the role of picking up the shortcomings at most. The real achievement of pride is only Jiancheng of his brother!

Although the military strength is still weak, my father may have recruited heroes and formed a single army. But what about the source of troops and money? The brother has built a Yingyang Mansion as the foundation. With the support of his father, even if he recruits a few heroes, he can also use it in addition to guarding the house and guarding the house. What can he use to compete with his brother on the battlefield?

But after a little while of a lifetime, would you be defeated by others?

Li Shimin only felt that the hot fire on his chest was getting stronger and stronger, and even the cold autumn wind that came towards him could not cool him down.

The sound of footsteps suddenly sounded behind him. When Li Shimin looked back, he saw a young man walking slowly.

This young man is a few years older than Li Shimin. He has a light robe and a slow belt. Compared to Li Shimin, who is strong and narrow-sleeved, he looks elegant. He is the eldest brother of Li Shimin's wife Changsun, and he is also the person Li Shimin can most trust him.

When Li Shimin turned around, his eyes were fierce, and in the dark, Changsun Wuji was so scared that he stopped.

Li Shimin restrained his unintentional fierce gaze and calmed down: "How was the discussion?"

Today in Jinyang Palace, Li Yuan presided over the meeting, and his confidants were discussing how to deal with the threat of Rengong, the prince of Mayi. Li Yuan was a little hesitant and wanted to solve the threat of Rengong, the prince of Mayi. Then he raised his flag and raised his troops to point to Chang'an.

But Li Yuan's subordinates could no longer wait for the founding of the country. They all believed that Liu Wenjing went to contact him, and Liu Wuzhou was weak and would inevitably surrender. It was more than enough to restrain Wang Rengong with Liu Wuzhou. It was enough for Li Yuan to raise an army, take Chang'an, and then go back to resolve the entangled forces of Mayi County.

Li Shimin argued with reason. The Li family wanted to set foot in the world earlier. How could Wang Rengong and others not think about it? The entanglement in Mayi County will never last. Whether it is Wang Rengong or Liu Wuzhou who won the victory in this battle, it is all the matter in front of you! It will never be as expected by everyone, and after Li Yuan raised an army to take Chang'an, he will turn back to deal with them!

In Li Shimin's opinion, these people, including their brothers, did not fail to think of this. It was just that the founding of the country had caused them to be unwilling to face this reality!

During the dispute, Li Shimin was sarcastic by his brother Li Jiancheng, and simply left the seat angrily and went to Chengtai for some breathing.

When Li Shimin's question was made, Changsun Wuji just shook his head sadly and expressed that Li Shimin's opinion was eventually ignored.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "Aren't they all unwilling to go north to deal with Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou? If they don't go, I'll go!"

Changsun Wuji shook his head in shock. Li Yuan was about to raise his troops, and everyone stared at the founding of Chang'an with red eyes. Now Li Shimin is going north to deal with Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou. Is he going to give up the future competition?

The Changsun family’s daughter married Li Shimin, and the Changsun family and Li Shimin could no longer be separated. Although Li Shimin is the second son and is naturally in a disadvantaged position, Changsun Wuji still had some extravagances about Li Shimin’s heroic spirit. But this young master cannot relax himself!

Before Changsun Wuji could answer his advice, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and sneered: "The elite soldiers of the two Eagle Yang Mansion of Mayi are in the world. Since we believe that Wang Rengong and Liu Wuzhou will be able to decide the winner soon, I will be in charge north. Why can't we accept some elite soldiers of Mayi and think of our foundation?"

Changsun Wuji suddenly realized that Li Shimin’s idea was here!

He hesitated and asked, "Even if Erlang, you take over a group of elite soldiers from Mayi, Duke Tang would simply leave Erlang to take charge of Taiyuan to face the north, what should we do?"

Li Shimin smiled, as if all the depression had been thrown away by him: "My brother, don't worry, I will lead the elite troops of Mayi to take charge of Taiyuan County? At that time, we have to solve the threat of the retreat first, and then take me west to Chang'an!"

Changsun Wuji slapped his high fives lightly and was truly the optimistic person of the Changsun family!

Li Shimin raised his head to the sky: "I hope the two men in Mayi County will decide the winner earlier, but according to my opinion, there is no need to wait for a long time!"

After his feelings were over, Li Shimin pulled Changsun Wuji: "Let's go, beg my father to go and let me go to the north of Taiyuan County to defend the future changes of Mayi County. I have left the Taiyuan Center and will not compete with my brother. My father must give me something!"
