Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1285

Pei Shiju concluded that Li Shimin would not go to the palace immediately after returning to Chang'an, and Wang Gui also agreed with this judgment, which made Li Jiancheng feel numb.

If the second brother could not be killed quickly, once the second brother returned to Tiance Mansion...by then he would have already taken action. Even if the news was blocked, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not be leaked.

The most important thing is that the second brother once buried a secret like Qiaogongshan in the East Palace... Qiaogongshan is an old man who raised troops in Jinyang. Who knows how many Qiaogongshan there are in the East Palace?
At the critical moment, if the second brother contacted Anzi...even if he couldn't contact him, he should know that something was wrong.

Wang Gui glanced at Pei Shiju and didn't bother to waste any more thoughts. He said directly: "Brother Hong must have made a plan."

Pei Shiju had indeed considered it, but he didn't have a foolproof solution. To be honest, he didn't care about this and only gave a solution that couldn't be said to be too brilliant.

After hearing this, Li Jiancheng stroked his short beard and made a mental calculation, asking the elite Tianjie Army from Yunyang County to sneak into Chang'an, but they would not enter the East Palace or even the imperial city, but hide in Andingfang and Xiuxiangfang.

In fact, Pei Shiju's strategy is very concise and concise. If Li Shimin is willing to enter the palace for an audience, that would be the best. If he returns to Tiance Mansion, then let the elites of the Tianjie Army capture Jingyao Gate, and more than 1000 Changlin Army will come from the east of the Forbidden Garden. Heading west, gather at the edge of Yong'an Canal and enter Jingyao Gate.

After entering Jingyao Gate, you will reach Jinchengfang across two streets, and Tiance Mansion is located in Jinchengfang, occupying one-third of the area of ​​Jinchengfang.

Li Jiancheng had to admit that this was the best way, and it effectively used the elites of the Tianjie Army and the Changlin Army... but the shortcomings were also obvious.

Li Shimin is not stupid to attack Jingyao Gate from both inside and outside. He will definitely find out. After all, he can see the battlefield just two streets away, standing outside the gate of Tiance Mansion and looking north... Can Li Shimin not run?

The East Palace does not have the ability to block all city gates. If it had such ability, things would be simpler.

"It would be nice if it happened to be dusk." Xu Shimo whispered.

The others did not say anything. This possibility did exist. If it was dusk, King Qin entered Chang'an and did not go to the palace to pay an audience, but returned to Tiance Mansion.

Although there is a night curfew in Chang'an, the gates of all the stalls are closed at Haishi, which is nine o'clock in the evening, but if there is chaos after dark, the gates of each stall will be closed in advance.

In that case, even if Li Shimin wants to escape, there is a high chance that he will be caught up. The entire Chang'an City is like a chessboard, extending in all directions, making it difficult to escape. Maybe the city gates will be closed in advance.

But the problem is that this possibility only exists, but it is not high. It is really hard to feel reassured by placing hope on such a big thing.

Wei Ting whispered: "Your Highness, remember that Wang Junkuo lives in Jinchengfang, maybe he can hide some soldiers there?"

Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up, "It is said that after Wang Junkuo returned to the capital, the King of Qin rewarded him with a mansion, which is located in Jinchengfang."

Wang Gui thought for a while and then said: "If the King of Qin returns to Tiance Mansion, he can also temporarily send troops to Kaiyuan Gate and Jinguang Gate to ambush troops. If the King of Qin escapes, it can only be at these two places."

"In addition, the Changlin Army and the ambush in Jingyao Gate need to be in close contact and launch at the same time, as fast as thunder. Even if the King of Qin finds out, he will be caught off guard." Xu Shimo suggested, "Your Highness, who is the general of the Changlin Army?"

"Jiangxia County Duke Li Gaoqian is the leader, and Yan County Prince Luo Yi's brother Luo Shou is the deputy." Li Jiancheng had obviously thought about it for a long time. When he said this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, Li Huairen, Li Huairen!
Although Li Gaoqian has seniority, his ability is very questionable. It would be much easier if Xue Wanche and Feng Li were here at this time... I hate Li Huairen and sent Wei Zheng, Feng Li and Xue Wanche away one after another, making himself almost No one is available. "In addition, we must not ignore the King of Yan County." Xu Shimo whispered: "There are changes in Chang'an, and in several states near Jingzhao, only Li Mengchang is a direct descendant of the King of Qin. His Highness should immediately send a close associate as a messenger to ask the King of Yan County to lead the troops. Enter the customs."

Wang Gui couldn't help but objected: "We will start tomorrow. It will take at least two days from Chang'an to Longyou Hezhou. Will Prince Yan have time?"

"If the ambush against the King of Qin succeeds in the future, the King of Yan County will lead the Lin army to Jingzhao." Xu Shimo raised his voice. If Wei Yunqi, the governor of Ningzhou, and Li Yaoshi, the general manager of the Yanzhou Road March, came to vote, the capital would be able to be stabilized. Zhao, solid pass. "

"If this is not the case, even if the ambush of King Qin succeeds, Yuchi Gong and his three thousand elite troops are within the capital, like a ray of light on his back, how can His Royal Highness feel at ease?"

Li Jiancheng was moved in his heart, and he counted on his fingers, "If the messenger stays up and travels all night, he will be able to arrive in Hezhou tomorrow night. If the King of Yan County immediately raises his troops to attack Dazhen Pass, and the Qingqi quickly goes south, he will be able to enter Jingzhao on the eighth day of October." .”

Today is the fifth day of October. According to the plan, Li Huairen will be killed in ambush on the sixth day of October tomorrow. The King of Qin will be killed in ambushes on the seventh day of October. The army will enter Beijing on the eighth day of October, which will come in handy... Even if it is the ninth day of October, the East Palace only needs to hold on. Chang'an, resist Yuchi Gong for one day.

Of course, the premise is to successfully kill Li Shimin.

"You write the letter immediately and use the seal later." Li Jiancheng made up his mind, "Send men to Hezhou immediately."

"Yes."

Xu Shimo was a little excited, but Wang Gui was a little sad. Pei Shiju glanced at the side and said nothing. He knew what Wang Gui was thinking.

We don’t know what will happen next in the war in Hedong, but at least the King of Qin returns to Beijing, and at most the situation will not worsen. As for today’s battle report in Lingzhou, Zhang Zhongjian had a small victory three days ago, but it has been three days. The Turks will not really be unable to cross. Crossing the Yellow River, at most it is not the main force, but a partial force.

In this case, King Luo Yi of Yan County suddenly raised troops to enter the Pass. No matter what, he would definitely start a war with Li Mengchang, the general manager of Longzhou who was a direct descendant of King Qin... In this way, the entire Longyou Road would be unstable, and Huai'an Wang Li Shentong is afraid that he will be frightened and frightened. If the Turks go south, they will probably collapse at the first touch.

In other words, even if Li Jiancheng succeeded in ambushing King Qin and King Luo Yi of Yan County rushed to Jingzhao to defeat Yuchi Gong, the western part of Longyou Road and Guannai Road would be destroyed.

This is what Pei Shiju hopes to see. If he fails to kill Li Shan, this will be his backup plan.

This is something Li Jiancheng can tolerate. Once he is deposed, his life, heirs, wives and concubines will not be saved, let alone these?

But this is what Wang Gui really doesn't want to see. In essence, this man hopes to be a famous minister in a peaceful and prosperous era, rather than a criminal minister who caused the Tang Dynasty to fall apart.

Li Jiancheng and several staff members discussed various details over and over, preparing remedial measures after various accidents, and even how to deal with the aftermath after successfully killing Li Shimin, but the old god Pei Shiju just listened and rarely spoke.

Pei Shiju doesn't care about these, as long as he kills Li Shan tomorrow, for other things, you two brothers, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, fight to the death, whoever wins is fine. What difference does this make to me, an 80-year-old man? ?
