Chapter 860 six;
The imperial city of Chang'an City.

"His Majesty?"

Li Shimin turned his head and stared at Qian Dehai who ran in:
"What's the panic?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, when that farmer from Tubo came out of Pingkangfang, he was assassinated by thieves..."

"what?"

Li Shimin stood up abruptly:

"What about people?"

"I don't know, Your Majesty, the servant girl also just received the news that it happened half an hour ago."

"Where's the Beiya Forbidden Army? Did you go to protect them?"

"Should follow..."

"Bastard! What do you mean should?"

Li Shimin was sweating anxiously.

"What are you still doing here? Why don't you hurry up and ask for news?"

"Oh yes yes yes..."

Seeing Qian Dehai running out in a panic, Li Shimin scolded in a deep voice:
"People."

Immediately outside the study, two armored soldiers came in:
"Quickly invite the elders of your three clans to come and see me. Be sure to hurry."

"only!"

Li Shimin kept tapping on the table, then raised his head and ordered another soldier:
"Go and invite the elders of the four clans to come in."

"only."

Li Shimin, who stayed in the study, walked back and forth anxiously. After a while, two generals hurried over.

"See His Majesty the Emperor."

"Exemption."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"The matter is urgent, and I don't want to say too much. The king of Tubo abandoned his sect and praised him. He was assassinated by thieves in Pingkangfang. I had already arranged for the Beiya imperial army to protect him. Now it seems that what they did is not right. As you wish.

From now on, I can only rest assured that the elders of the three clans will come out in person. "

One of the two generals who came in agreed with his fists in his hands;

"The minister obeys the order."

Li Shimin walked up to this person and explained with sincerity;

"The general should know the seriousness. Abandoning the sect and praising him is nothing to worry about."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, if he escapes tonight and survives, I will lead my sons and daughters to protect his life, there is only one thing Your Majesty should know.

It is easy to guard against thieves for one day, and not difficult for ten days. It is not easy to be prepared all year round! "

Li Shimin frowned tightly;

"I know, these days we are discussing about Tubo, and there are different voices on both the civil and military sides. Some say it shouldn't be sent to show weakness, and some say it shouldn't... oh... I'll try to make it as soon as possible. After tonight's discussion Things, I thought, he would not want to stay here after abandoning his family..."

Li Shimin was talking, when he saw Qian Dehai trotting in, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask;
"What's the matter? Is Abandoned Nongzan safe?"

"Fortunately, Your Majesty, congratulations, you didn't hurt him..."

"Speak clearly, don't be vague."

"only."

Qian Dehai knew what the emperor wanted most, so he walked over with a smiling face;
"Your Majesty, everything is clarified. The eldest son of General Hou Junji, the eldest son of Du Pushe's family, and the three gentlemen of the Kong family and Yan family, they accompanied that farmer to Ping Tianxiang Pavilion, the largest courtyard in Kangfang, is where you can listen to music and eat wine.

I didn’t eat much wine, and there were enough guards around me, including a centurion from the Beiya Imperial Army, and 250 barbarians from the grasslands from Tubo..."

Li Shimin listened quietly, unable to bear it any longer;
"350 people, the formation is enough, besides, the 250 people who abandoned the sect and praised them should all be iron-blooded warriors who have survived a hundred battles. How dare the thieves go up and assassinate them?"

As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Qian Dehai hurriedly followed suit;

"Yes, Your Majesty, who said otherwise, these thieves are really daring to the extreme."

Of the two generals beside Li Shimin, the third child lowered his head in silence, while the fourth child frowned;

"Your Majesty's Beiya imperial guards are not vegetarians. General Qin has practiced for nearly ten years. How can he be an ordinary person? There is something wrong here."

As soon as the fourth child opened his mouth, the third child also followed suit;

"That's right! Qin Qiong's subordinates are all acting cautiously. I haven't heard of any Meng Lang. How can they not protect well? Give people an opportunity?"

Li Shimin nodded and turned to look at Qian Dehai;
"What did a centurion of the Beiya Imperial Army do? Where is it guarded?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the king of Tubo has a big general who is Tashi Dunzhumuzi wrong. to spy on them.

So it is not called to be close to their king at all, and today it is like this, coaxing the troops of the Beiya imperial army, saying that there are important envoys who need protection, and in the end they transferred the Beiya imperial army to the other side..."

Li Shimin couldn't help but let out a long sigh when he heard this;
"Oh...that's what I'm most afraid of."

Not to mention Li Shimin, the elders of the three tribes in the next nine rooms also shook their heads and sighed;

"Your Majesty, alas...they came from other places, how can there be your Majesty's Beiya Army...alas..."

The fourth child on the other side frowned tightly, with a taste of hating iron but not steel;;

"What a fool!"

"Even if there are only 250 people left, don't underestimate them. Tell me, Dehai, how many thieves are there?"

"The servants don't know either. The person who went down to inquire just now came back and said that he couldn't see clearly in the dark!"

Li Shimin was very unhappy with a dark face;
"Just tell me when it happened, where was the assassination, and who was the other party?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, when I came out after drinking, the third street behind the south side of Tianxiang Pavilion, outside the west wall of Anxiang Tower, I only heard from my boss that there were at least seventy or eighty people. As for who they are, I don't know... ...But the Sanfa Division has sent people over."

Li Shimin interrupted Qian Dehai's words with a wave of his hand;

"Don't mention the Sanfa Division. Waiting for them to send people to rescue, the food has been cold for a long time. Why don't you talk about abandoning the sect first? Did you get hurt, or where?"

Qian Dehai was so excited for some reason, even though he suppressed his happiness, he couldn't help the xenophobic emotion in his heart, he gestured while talking;

"Returning to Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly, and the thief came prepared and killed the general in an instant. The farmer was hit by four arrows, and then was assassinated by three iron spears. Fortunately, a few soldiers desperately guarded him. , died for him, he was hit by the bow and arrow, and the others were harmless!"

The Fourth Elder of the Ninth House suddenly raised his head;
"Your Majesty, outside the west wall of the Anxiang Tower, there are two small yards. They are full of old women who are too old and no one wants them. The women who have retired from the other yards usually take some poor people as guests, so the two Small yards are basically places where few people go.

Other than that, what is left is the wall, the road is uneven, and the night is dark and there is little light. If the thieves choose to attack here, they must have made detailed arrangements in advance. "

"Yes, what Ai Qing said is true."

The fourth elder didn't stop, and followed closely to analyze;

"Besides, the thief is familiar with Chang'an City, and he also knows all the whereabouts and news of the Tubo people in advance. I suspect that tonight's Tianxiang Pavilion, Anxiang Tower, and those two old women's courtyards that no one cares about, There should be people who have been planted by thieves to tip off the news."

Li Shimin nodded non-stop, he was very satisfied with the most powerful commanders of the imperial army in Jiufang.

"Very good, the general's analysis is very reasonable, and it is exactly what I want."

After praising his subordinates, Li Shimin thought of the four arrows again;

"How about abandoning the sect to praise him? Did the four arrows hurt him? Death or death?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that guy is wearing two layers of leather armor, I heard it is made of thick yak leather, so the injury is not serious,

Moreover, the school lieutenant of the Beiya Forbidden Army has been sending people to follow the Tubo team. Not long after the fight started, the Beiya Forbidden Army behind reacted and killed them on the way, solving the urgent need. Follow the reaction.

The thieves saw that they were too powerful to achieve their goals, so they quickly withdrew their troops. "

The two generals of the Jiufang both heaved a sigh of relief, as if if the Central Plains people were slow to react, they would have to embarrass themselves, Li Shimin also nodded, and finally smiled;
"That's right! After all, it was a fight. The Imperial Army of the Beiya lived up to my trust. Well, since I know that it's okay to abandon the sect and praise me, the stone in my heart has fallen to the ground. Dehai, tell me what's on both sides loss.

Also, was there anything found on the corpses of those thieves, but what were their characteristics?Why did you use the iron gun? "

"Um, Your Majesty, well, there is no dead body of a thief left, so there is no way to check."

Li Shimin, who was about to go back to the desk and sit down, swiped and turned around again;
"What's going on? Those thieves are so careful? Didn't even leave the corpse? Or did they not die?
Are the soldiers in Tubo so useless?Can't keep the other party alone? "

"Your Majesty, even though the thieves caught him by surprise, I heard that many died..."

"How much is a lot?"

"Well, the people in Tubo said that they killed more than 30 thieves, but the Beiya Imperial Army replied that there would not be more than ten..."

Qian Dehai couldn't figure out what Li Shimin meant, so he didn't dare to speak nonsense, and looked at the emperor carefully.

After Li Shimin sat down, he looked at the two elders of the Forbidden Army who came from Jiufang;
"What do the two generals think?"

The third child didn't even want to speak directly;
"I believe that the school lieutenants of the Beiya Forbidden Army, those generals who have followed General Qin Qiong for many years, are used to doing things steadily and carefully. After each fight, the number of thieves they killed is recorded in the records of the Ministry of War and the summary after the war. Little difference.

Besides, they all grew up with the arrogance of General Qin and dismissed exaggeration, so I believed the report of the Imperial Army of the Beiya. "

Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the elders of the four clans, who nodded accordingly;

"I think so too. Qin Qiong's generals and soldiers are full of arrogance. The soldiers of the three battalions are exactly the same. , will never overreport.

What's more, the Tubo army also participated in the fight, and they would not mess around. What's more, Cao Jiangong, the captain of the Beiya Imperial Army, is a descendant of the Cao family.
As a commoner, his greatest wish is to restore the glory of Cao's ancestors. It is not easy for him to rise to where he is today. It was all done by fighting with one knife and one gun. He will not mess with Cao's honor, nor I will not lie about my future, please check it out, Your Majesty. "

"Well, what the general said makes a lot of sense. Captain Cao has been with me for many years. Back then he was my personal guard in the Prince of Qin's mansion. He had served in the Prince of Qin's mansion for more than two and a half years. I know his background, and I also Know his temperament.

He is a man. After he left Qin Wangfu, he has been with Qin Bao's subordinates. Until now, he has won the trust of Zhonglang General Qin Bao.

Speaking of Cao Jiangong from Beiya, he can be regarded as Shubao's direct relative faction, and Qin Bao's father is Shubao's third uncle, the children of Li Qincheng's family, and they behave well in front of Qin Bao. Treat them as your own elders and honor them. "

"Your Majesty, since Cao Jiangong is Qin Bao's confidant general, he will not lie."

"So I also believe what he said, but it is understandable for those Tubo people to exaggerate. They don't want to be said to be useless, so they exaggerate. I think they must have suffered a lot of casualties."

Seeing the emperor looking at him, Qian Dehai quickly praised him;
"Your Majesty, it's true. The Beiya imperial guards reported that 64 of them were killed on the spot, 32 were seriously injured, and [-] were slightly injured."

After listening to this number, Li Shimin asked a quick question;
"Did you say how long the fight took?"

Qian Dehai took two steps closer to the emperor's table;

"Returning to Your Majesty, Colonel Cao's deputy said that from the start of the fight to the end of the fight after they passed, there was a commotion for a while and two more minutes."

Li Shimin's eyelids twitched twice, he just looked at the elders of the two clans in front of him without saying a word.

The faces of the elders of the three clans are serious;
"Your Majesty, this is an elite teacher. It takes a little more than half an hour to cause such serious damage to Tubo, which is evident."

The elders of the four clans saw that all the palace people were driven out by Li Shimin's wave, leaving only their own people in the house, so they turned to ask Qian Dehai.

"Are there any casualties in the Beiya imperial guards?"

When the elders of the four clans said this, Li Shimin's heart jumped violently, but he still pretended to be indifferent, pretending to pick up a tea bowl to drink water...

"If you go back to the fourth uncle, there are some."

"How many were injured? How many died?"

"Back to Fourth Uncle, nine of the Beiya imperial guards died and 25 were injured. Because they were all wearing armor, there were no serious injuries, but minor injuries. They walked normally, and there was no serious problem."

"Nine? Wearing armor to die with these numbers..."

The elders of the four clans in Jiufang lowered their heads and muttered to themselves, their voices getting lower and lower, and the elders of the three clans put on a bitter face;

"Your Majesty, this visitor... is not kind!"

Li Shimin's right hand kept tapping on the table;

"It's true that the comers are not good! I guess they are going to fight at least a centurion, otherwise it would be difficult to make such a movement."

The elders of the three clans turned their heads to look at Li Shimin;

"Your Majesty, even a centurion, combined with mental arithmetic and inadvertence, is not an ordinary person who can achieve these results. Moreover, in a very short period of time, he killed nine armored guards.

Moreover, after the reinforcements from the Beiya Imperial Army arrived, they were able to judge the situation and choose to retreat immediately. Before leaving, they had to remove all the corpses of their companions. These people are not easy! "

The elder of the four clans who was thinking suddenly raised his head and asked again;
"Are there any women among them?"

"No, the Imperial Guard said they were all men."
