Tang capital, Chang'an It is only said that Li Jiancheng was defeated by the Qi army, and the news of the loss of the entire territory of Hechi spread to Chang'an City like a plague in an instant.
For a while, Li Yuan didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, and immediately convened the ministers to discuss.
At the court meeting, I saw Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, immediately bowed down and bowed and said: "Father, the son asked the army to lead the army to break the enemy. ” "But my father didn't let my eldest brother lead the army to the battle, and now he doesn't talk about losing the city, but he loses his troops and generals, which really embarrasses the Tang Dynasty."
For a while, Li Yuanji didn't give Li Jiancheng any face, and he ridiculed him righteously.
It's just that Li Yuanji didn't notice that Li Yuan's face on top of the dragon seat was extremely gloomy, and he was still talking to himself.
Not only that, but now the ministers' eyes showed even more disdain.
After all, even his own brothers can be blamed mercilessly, let alone treat his own subordinates Then, Li Yuan ignored Li Yuanji on the side, and said in a deep voice with cold eyes: "Zhong Aiqing, I didn't expect the Qi army's combat strength to be so strong. ” "I didn't expect that as the lord of the Qi country, Gao Qi would have such great courage to be able to join the siege in person."
"Raise the morale of the entire Qi army to the top, causing the crown prince to be defeated one after another and retreat to the Qinling Mountains."
"Therefore, I am determined to hold peace talks with the Qi army in order to strive to take back Hechi, Shunzheng and other places."
For a while, Li Yuan presented his inner thoughts one by one, and he was even more ashamed in his heart.
It is important to know that on the battlefield, any accident may make a sound, and often a single stray arrow can end its life.
As for siege warfare, it is a hundred times more dangerous than when two armies face each other.
If you don't do it well, you will be ruined, and Gao Qi has no heirs.
You must know that if Gao Qi dies early, then the Great Qi he founded will definitely fall apart Although in history, Li Shimin also personally led troops into the enemy formation.
But at that time, after all, Li Shimin was only the body of the King of Qin, not the emperor, so the situation between the two was not the same.
Therefore, thinking about the situation, Li Yuan felt that he would not be able to make such a decision if he replaced this situation with himself at that time.
For a while, it was only said that after the ministers heard that Li Yuan had the idea of peace talks with Qi State.
Although a very small number of ministers objected, the vast majority of ministers agreed.
After all, the current situation is already unfavorable to the Tang Army, and if it continues, there will be all kinds of harm but no benefit Seeing that most of the courtiers echoed their resolutions, Li Yuan was preparing to make a decision.
At this time, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, came out again and suggested: "Father, what to talk about peace?"
"As long as Erchen is put in command, he will definitely defeat the Qi army and capture Gao Qi alive."
In an instant, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel even more disgusted with Li Yuanji.
You must know that Gao Qi has almost spent time in the army since he was in the army.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he has experienced a hundred battles, and it is not an exaggeration to use soldiers like gods.
And now, Li Yuanji is only a teenager and has no experience in fighting.
However, relying on his own martial arts, he is blessed with great words and words.
Such a style would not make Li Yuan appreciate "Rebel, military affairs, how can you intervene here, get out of here" Suddenly, Li Yuan was furious, stood up, and reprimanded.
Then he called on the Imperial Forest Army in the palace to escort Li Yuanji out of the palace.
Subsequently, everything returned to calm between the DPRK and China, and discussions began in earnest.
"I don't know who of you is willing to send an envoy, Aiqing" Immediately, Li Yuan, the Son of Heaven, asked the ministers for the candidates for the envoy.
In the middle of the ring, none of the ministers chose to stand up on their own.
It must be known that now that your own side and the Qi army are still in a hostile state, the life of the envoy at this time is in danger at any time.
How could the ministers be so shrewd and take such a risk?
At this time, Chai Shao saw that no one stood up, gritted his teeth, and walked to the center.
"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to receive the order to send the Qi army, and he will definitely take back the two counties of Hechi and Shunzheng for the Tang Dynasty."
For a while, Li Yuan saw Chai Shao take the initiative to stand up, and couldn't help but wonder: "You, can you do it?"
"The minister will not fail in his mission" Hearing this, Chai Shao couldn't help but say firmly.
Actually, it's not that Li Yuan doesn't trust Chai Shao's ability.
After all, Chai Shao's strength lies in commanding troops, but the words of the messenger must be competent by excellent lobbyists.
However, since Chai Shaodu had made a firm decision, and no one took the initiative to ask for his life, Li Yuan also agreed.
Afterwards, Li Yuan explained some affairs to him and asked him to prepare to leave.
In fact, Chai Shao's resolute request for an envoy was also a last resort.
With the fiasco of Hanchuan, Li Xiaogong was captured, and only he led the remnants to flee back.
Although Li Yuan did not have a substantial punishment, Chai Shao also knew that he had no right to speak in the court.
Such a situation is extremely unfavorable for Chai Shao to fight for the crown prince for Li Shimin.

Therefore, Chai Shaocai wanted to seize the opportunity of this envoy and be favored by Li Yuan again.
Qi Palace "Hmph" "The father didn't care about the face of this king and drove Lone out of the main hall." only said that after Li Yuanji returned to the palace, he snorted coldly and was extremely angry.
At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist robe, with a delicate appearance, and an age of about thirty, dressed as a Taoist priest, slowly walked out.
"Your Highness, in fact, what you did today was not considered."
It was Yuan Shoucheng, a Taoist at the end of the Sui Dynasty, who put forward this statement.
As for why Yuan Shoucheng would work for Li Yuanji, in fact, this has to start with Li Yuanji becoming the king.
Because Gao Qi had already destroyed the anti-king Liu Wuzhou, after Li Yuan founded the country, Taiyuan, the land of Longxing, was not threatened.
Therefore, Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, did not go to Taiyuan to hold on as he did in the original history.
But Li Yuanji was a martial arts practitioner, and he couldn't bear the loneliness, and finally went out hunting to Yuan Shoucheng.
Therefore, in order to thank him for saving his life, Yuan Shoucheng agreed to offer him three strategies before choosing to leave.
Therefore, now Yuan Shoucheng will be in the palace of King Qi.
"Oh, what do you mean by that, sir?"
Hearing this, Li Yuanji couldn't help but be puzzled and asked again and again.
Immediately, Yuan Shoucheng slowly analyzed: "Your Highness, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has lost on the front line now, and the troops have been defeated."
"However, Your Highness should not be counted in public, although this move seems to be slandering Your Highness."
"Actually, no, the ministers will only look at His Majesty's jokes."
"Obviously, Your Majesty is a good-looking person, and it is reasonable to be angry with His Highness" For a while, Li Yuanji didn't care about it, but after listening to Yuan Shoucheng's words, he suddenly felt the seriousness of the matter.
Immediately, Li Yuanji asked anxiously: "Then I don't know if Mr. has a plan to help Gu turn around the current situation."
Knowing that Li Yuanji asked for a plan, Yuan Shoucheng couldn't help but feel a wave of joy in his heart.
After all, who is Yuan Shoucheng, and how can he really assist Li Yuanji As long as he offered three strategies, Yuan Shoucheng could find an opportunity to leave at any time without bearing the notoriety of ingratitude.
Yuan Shoucheng, this person is not famous in history, only recorded as Yuan Tiangang's uncle.
But in Journey to the West, he is a real summoning of the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty :
