Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 327 Baozhi, see Baozhi again

Li Chengqian ordered his troops to return to the imperial court after briefing the affairs of the funeral. Of course, he did not take the opportunity to swallow the remnants of Chai Shao's troops. Instead, he reorganized them and handed them over to Li Ke to command them. They scattered in the house.

Turning defeat into victory is naturally everyone's joy, and the faces of the soldiers are filled with satisfied smiles.Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and the only person in the marching ranks who is not very interested is His Highness King Wu.

This time, he lost his wife, lost his army, lost Chai Shao, and the real governor became a prosecutor. What's more, he didn't know if the prince's promise would be fulfilled.

Seeing Li Ke look like a little rooster with its crown removed, Li You clamped his horse's belly to keep pace with him, teasingly said: "Third son, the rat's back hurts, what a big kidney, my father was also defeated back then." Is it Yu Xueju? What is your matter?"

If Li You taunted him like this normally, he would definitely have to worry about it, but what he said today was right, compared to the battle of Qianshuiyuan, he was really nothing.

At this moment, Li Chengqian, who was inspecting the military affairs behind, also patted his horse and rushed up: "What are you talking about, let's talk to my brother." Seeing Li You's look like he was eating haha, Li Chengqian became even more interested .

"Responding to elder brother, the younger brother is trying to persuade the third brother to look at it more carefully. Compared with the war with Xiqin in the first year of Wude, is it just drizzle in Anzhou!"

After listening to the old fifth's reply, Li Chengqian pointed at him helplessly. This kid is really lawless. He really has no scruples at all when he speaks. Dare to expose, no wonder he was not popular since he was a child.

However, that battle was indeed extremely dangerous. In the first year of Wude, with the help of the Guanlong Group, Li Yuan achieved "curve overtaking", and captured Chang'an in just four months, occupying all of Guanzhong.

But Xue Ju, who also rose in Longxi, also proclaimed himself emperor in Lanzhou in the same year, and made Xue Rengao the prince.Now that Longxi has been "in the pocket", Xue Ju's next strategy goal is to point to Guanzhong.

Coincidentally, both Xue Ju and Li Yuan had the intention of occupying Guanlong and establishing an empire. Under the situation of "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", the conflict between the two parties can only be resolved through war.

So in June of the first year of Wude, that is, the second month after Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, Xue Ju invaded eastward with all the elites in the country, and soon confronted the Tang army led by Li Shimin in Gaochai City, and the war was imminent.

However, before the war officially started, Li Shimin was strangely suffering from malaria. Since he was bedridden and unable to command the battle, he had to hand over military affairs to Shi Liu Wenjing, the commander of the march, and Sima Yin Kaishan, and warned them to stick to the city and not to take risks. .

However, because Yin Kaishan underestimated the enemy, Yin Kaishan didn't pay much attention to the coach's instructions, and encouraged Liu Wenjing to go out of the city to fight with him. As a result, he was attacked from behind by Xue Jujun in the scuffle and was defeated in Qianshuiyuan.

After this battle, the death rate of the Tang army was as high as [-]%. Even the brave generals Murong Luohu and Li Anyuan died on the battlefield, but they lost their essence in one day.

After the war, Li Shimin, who was seriously ill, fled back to Chang'an in embarrassment, while Xue Ju took advantage of the victory to occupy Gaochai, and collected the dead bodies of Tang soldiers to form a Jingguan to boast of his achievements.

After Qianshuiyuan's disastrous defeat, Tang Ting was in a panic, and Guanzhong was in turmoil.At this time, if Xue Ju continues to raise his troops eastward, it may be a "certainty" to completely destroy the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that when Xue Ju was about to send troops, he suddenly became seriously ill. The wizard who accompanied the army said that it was Tang soldiers who caused the trouble. Xue Ju was very disgusted when he heard it. It's only been a month.Afterwards, Li Shimin made a comeback, wiped out Xue Rengao in one fell swoop, and completely flattened the land of Longxi.

Is the story over here?No, the eldest grandson Wuji once said before that the emperor was very sick back then, and he, who was originally in good health, couldn't get out of bed overnight, and the medical officers accompanying the army were helpless.

Later, an imperial physician surnamed Hu from the Imperial Hospital found out that it was the strange poison of the Western Regions - Mangfu. What's more, I heard from the generals of the Western Qin Dynasty that Xue Ju also died of this disease.

The addition of so many coincidences is not a coincidence, so Xue Ju's close wizard became the biggest suspect, but on the eve of Xiqin's demise, the wizard also disappeared without a sound, so this matter also became a case. Historical unsolved case.

"Third brother, Mr. Jingren has been studying national history during the Wude Dynasty. Did he tell you about Xue Ju's wizards?" Detailed records.And Li Ke, as his student, will definitely learn some of the teacher's manuscripts, so Li Chengqian asked this question.

Hearing the prince's question, Li Ke felt very strange. How could he think of this well? If he wanted to ask, he had to ask Xue Ju and the others. What is there to make a fuss about a wizard.

However, since the crown prince asked and he still has something to ask for, Li Ke also started thinking about it.After a while, Li Ke replied slowly: "My brother remembers, it seems, it seems to be called Bao, Baozhi."

What?After hearing these two words, Li Chengqian's head seemed to be blown, Baozhi, is there any connection between the Baozhi in Xiqin and the one in Anzhou?

"Third brother, are you sure? Think about what else Cen Zhongshu wrote about this Baozhi."

Seeing Li Chengqian's anxious question, Li Ke was also confused for a while, and then said: "It seems that the above said that Xue Ju became the roost in Longxi because he got this wizard named Baozhi.

According to Xue Jun's soldiers, he can understand ghosts and gods, is good at medicine, and more important things. I heard that he can change his face, but Mr. Cen has no way to verify it, and he doesn't know whether it is true or not. "

Change face?Sichuan Opera Facebook?Li Chengqian's brows became pimples, and after a moment of contemplation, Li Chengqian said seriously: "Third son, after returning to Beijing, you go to Cen Zhongshu and bring his manuscript. Then let him recall everything about Wizard Baozhi The information will be collected and sent to the East Palace."

Hi, isn't it just a few sheets of paper?For Li Ke, it was too simple. Since the crown prince is interested in the war in West Qin, so what if he gave it to him.

So, he nodded and replied: "Of course it's no problem, I will do it as soon as I go back, but, brother prince, look at Father Huang."

Li Chengqian didn't understand what this kid meant, he was worried that what he said would not count, and he would give him another knife at a critical moment.Then he patted Li Ke on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Third brother, Gu's words always mean what he says, so you can rest assured."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Li You: "Old Fifth, pass on the order to speed up the marching speed, and I must rush back to Chang'an in the shortest time.".
