News of the Turks' large-scale southward invasion soon spread in Chang'an City. For this fledgling empire, the Turks, who could easily organize an army of 100,000, seemed to always be a dark cloud hovering above their heads.

In fact, after the founding of Li Tang, the Turks organized only one large-scale war in the fifth year of Wude, and invaded Hebei, Hedong, and Guannai Road at the same time, with a total force of more than 150,000.

But that kind of depressive and even fearful atmosphere still envelopes this city, which is now the largest in the world, and there are all kinds of messy and outrageous news in the market.

There was even news that the Turks had broken through Yanmen Pass and their troops were approaching Taiyuan Prefecture. Many "insightful people" in the court believed that the saint should send King Qin out again.

However, among the various messages, there is one that is recognized by almost everyone.

The reason why Jieli Khan went to war so aggressively had something to do with Li Shan, the king of Handan.

There was no way, once in Shandong, once in Daizhou, Li Shan twice captured Yugushe alive, Jieli Khan paid such a high price to exchange his embarrassing son back, how could he not take revenge?

There are even some people who have some objections to Li Shan. For example, in Pingkang Square recently, a young man with a wide robe and long sleeves said righteously, "Li Shan started his career as a merchant. He seems to be benevolent, but he is actually good at calculations!"

"If he hadn't wanted to capture Gushe alive, humiliated him several times, and even fought in the Taiji Palace, why would Jieli Khan have mobilized a large army to attack?"

"As a result, he won your majesty's trust, was included in the royal family, and was named a county king. He was prosperous and wealthy. How did he care about the people?"

Several young people next to him looked at each other and were speechless for a moment. It was not that the other party was clear and logical and could not refute, but that although the other party came from a famous family, his words were a bit shameless.

This shameless young man is one of Li Shan's few enemies. Different from Pei Shiju because of his predecessor, this is the real enemy that Li Shan made after time travel.

Wang Renyou, a descendant of the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan.

I have to admit that the reputation of the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family is quite useful. If nothing else, Wang Renyou came to Pingkangfang to drink and have fun, and many people praised him.

But the reason for praising the bad feet is to take advantage of the reputation of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and it is not all out of mind... The King of Handan has become famous in the past two years. figure.

Wang Renyou criticized so much, and he also did so from the perspective of pity for the people... It was really hard to listen to.

A slightly younger young man said with a smile: "The King of Handan went to Daizhou and first forced Yuan Junzhang to surrender. Then there was a great victory at Yanmen. I think he will be able to hold on to Yanmen Pass this time..."

"I'm afraid that's not necessarily the case." Wang Renyou sneered: "Chaozhong stationed a large number of troops in Bingzhou, and did not send a single soldier to the north. Now more than 100,000 Turkic troops are attacking Yanmen Pass, and Daizhou's army can't support it alone..."

The expressions of the people around him changed slightly, and the younger man didn't even hide the disdain on his face... He was so shameless!

To put it bluntly, if the Daizhou Army had not defended Yanmen Pass, the Turkic army would have taken advantage of Lingzhou and attacked Taiyuan Prefecture immediately after breaking through the pass. The tomb of the Wang family in Qixian County would have been under the hooves of the Turks... but you were behind it. If you make irresponsible remarks, you will lose the face of the Wang family in Qixian County.

Wang Renyou didn't seem to notice the silence and disdain of the people around him. After drinking a few large glasses of wine, he smiled and said, "You don't know yet?!"

"Two months ago, Li was good at building a fortress outside the Great Wall..."

"I've heard of it." An older young man nodded and said, "It is said that there are many objections in the court, but His Majesty still agreed to it."

Wang Renyou suddenly laughed loudly and slammed the table, causing the gold-plated wine cup to clink and fall to the ground, "Hahaha, Li Shan is trapped in Guji Town... Hahaha!"

"What?"

"how come……"

Wang Renyou waved his hand proudly, "Maybe Yanmen will survive, but Guji Town will be in ruins!"

"Li Shan humiliated Yu Gushe that day. I wonder how Yu Gushe will recover this debt!"

Wang Renyou was still chattering there, and several people around him exchanged glances, thinking that this guy was crazy... he was talking so wildly and naming names in such a semi-public place.

You must know that Li Shan today is not the lonely young man he was three or four years ago. No matter who is in the eyes of everyone, Li Shan has a great or even heavy weight.

But how can these people understand Wang Renyou's mood?

Wang Renyou, a descendant of the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan, originally had a path to the sky. Although he may not be able to be crowned a county prince or a prince, nor may he be promoted to prime minister, he can still rise to the top, with glory, wealth, and power at his fingertips.

This is indeed the case for Wang Renyou in the original sky. Although Guan'er did not achieve much, his reputation was not small, because he was extremely favored by his aunt and Princess An.

Historically, during the Zhenguan period, the prince and the king of Wei competed for the title of heir, and eventually the crown prince fell to Jin Wang Li Zhi.

After Li Zhi ascended the throne in the East Palace, the eldest princess of Tong'an personally negotiated matchmaking, and Wang Renyou's daughter entered the East Palace as the crown princess. The strength of the Taiyuan Wang family and Wang Renyou's wife's family, the Liu family in Hedong Jie County, increased greatly, and there were three prime ministers and assistants alone.

Well, it’s just that Wang Renyou’s daughter didn’t have good eyesight. She fought to the death with Concubine Xiao Shu, and then brought a charming woman from outside the palace into the palace...

Of course, Wang Renyou in this life basically has no chance of these, and those things that were within easy reach have already left him.

In the early years, relying on his reputation as a descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan and the title of Princess Tong'an, Wang Renyou had a good reputation in Chang'an City, and everyone had to give him some respect.

But since Li Shan was born, everything has changed.

The first feud was because of Wang Renbiao, which was just a trivial matter. But after that, Wang Renyou took action several times, especially by attracting the children of Prince Qin's family to take action... As a result, there was a fight in Changlepo, and Wang Renyou was beaten badly. Later, he was even troubled by the descendants of Prince Qin's family in private.

But it doesn't matter. What Wang Renyou can't accept is that Li Shan actually made friends with the children of Prince Qin's family...Are you cheap? You got beaten up and still stuck up? !

After that, Wang Renyou became a little more honest and well-behaved. He just took the initiative to close the Yuhuchun family and led the trouble to Jingzhao Du family.

But what made Wang Renyou vomit blood was that the pot finally fell on his head.

When he was beaten up by the King of Huaiyang, Wang Renyou almost blurted out, "The one who seizes the property is Jingzhao Du Family!"

In short, after several incidents, Wang Renyou's reputation became worse and worse... Not all children from well-known families can become officials.

If you want to be an official, the most important thing is to be famous...of course I don't mean Wang Renyou's current fame.

After Li Shan rescued Princess Pingyang, Princess Tong'an, who had mentioned it to Li Yuan because of Wang Renyou's nagging, refused to take action.

After the news of Li Shan and Cui's engagement in Qinghe spread, Wang Renyou got drunk and felt that he would never hope to do anything to Li Shan in this life.

But I didn't expect that things in the world are so wonderful. Flowers are blooming and fire is cooking oil. Li Shan, who already has a clear road, actually falls into Guji Town.

Although he could not witness Li Shan's fate with his own eyes, Wang Renyou was certain that Li Shan could not escape this disaster.

Today, Wang Renyou specially invited two officials from the Ministry of War who were also from Taiyuan to attend the banquet on the grounds that he cherished his hometown... The Turks attacked in large numbers, and their troops may exceed 150,000.

The most critical thing is that one of the officials mentioned that they had just received the Yanmen battle report. Li Huairen, the king of Handan, was trapped in Guji Town. The DPRK and the Communist Party of China decided to urgently send Yongkang County Duke Li Jing north to serve as the general manager of Daizhou, but they did not immediately send him. Reinforcements moved north.

If Wang Renyou hadn't pinched his thigh tightly at that time, he would have almost danced and celebrated on the spot.

The official also kindly reminded that the war at Yanmen Pass is currently fierce, but there is no danger in the short term. If there is a personal connection, it is better to connect to Chang'an.

In Wang Renyou's view, the meaning of this passage is obvious. If there are no reinforcements, Yanmen Pass will probably fall in the end.

Wang Renyou feels that this is really a God-given opportunity.
