Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 918 The Fateful Showdown of Xuanwumen's Blood Transformation Repeats

Chapter 40 Fate vs. Xuanwumen Blood Transformation Reenactment

Li Jing followed Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying into the imperial study, Li Jiancheng picked up a small box with a lock from the bookshelf, and took out a stack of memorials from it.Li Jiancheng looked through it for a while, took out a copy, and handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jiancheng said: "This is the memorial that Tang Jian, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple who was sent to Turkic, just presented, pharmacist, please read it carefully."

Li Jing said in a low voice: "The prosperity of the Turks is marked by sheep, horses and livestock. Now the Turks are starving and their animals are thin, which is a sign of their impending doom. Internal and external grievances, many tribes rebelled, and the soldiers gradually weakened. I counted their defeat. In less than three years..."

Li Jiancheng folded his hands behind his back, looked at the north, and said loudly: "If Tang Jian's news is accurate, Turkic civil strife is inevitable."

At this moment, Chen Ying took over the memorial. He was used to reading horizontally, and immediately discovered the problem, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Tang Shaoqing's original intention may not be as simple as it appears on the surface!"

Li Jiancheng frowned.

Li Jing nodded and said: "When I was in Liangzhou, I observed the frequent movements of the Turks and the frequent mobilization of troops and horses from various ministries!"

Chen Ying picked up a pen and edited and annotated the memorial. According to the words Chen Ying marked down, it immediately became: "Three hundred Turkic tribes, dispatched millions of troops, and want to conquer the country and attack the Tang Dynasty!"

Seeing this scene, Li Jiancheng's face became gloomy.

Li Jing said: "Your Majesty, don't blame Tang Shaoqing. The Turks will not work if the two countries do not kill each other. They must force Tang Shaoqing to write this memorial according to their wishes!"

Li Jiancheng clenched his fists tightly and said: "The imperial court can send troops, and first solve Liang Shidu."

Li Jing nodded and said, "This time, it's time to settle the old debt."

Li Jiancheng frowned slightly and said: "If you want to annihilate Liang Shidu, you must cut off the Turkic reinforcements, and Tongwancheng must be taken."

Li Jing shook his head and said, "Tongwan City is fortified, ten times harder to attack than Yinzhou City."

Li Jing is not exaggerating. Tongwan City was built by Helian Bobo, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the south of the water, the capital will be built, which will be called "Tongwan" tomorrow.He Lianbo said to himself: "I will unify the world, and the king will come to all nations, and I can unify all nations for a name."

Ali's nature is particularly skillful, but he is cruel and violent. He builds the city by steaming the earth, piercing an inch, killing the author and building it together, and killing the supervisor if he can't insert it into the city wall.The construction of Tongwan City lasted six years.After the completion of Tongwan City, Hu Yizhou, the secretary supervisor, wrote a praise article. In the praise article, it is said that the built Tongwan City is "Gaoyu Yinyue, Chongyongjiyun, Shiguo Tianchi, Zhoumianqianli, Hualinling Marsh, Chongtai secret room, connecting rooms and pavilions, Chidao Garden".

Since its establishment, Tongwan City has existed as an important military town. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tongwan City was Tongwan Town, one of the six towns in the north. Although it has been more than 200 years, the city wall of Tongwan City is still as strong as iron. Easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Li Jiancheng pondered: "Soldiers are expensive and fast. We know that Tongwan City is difficult to fight, and the Turkic people also know that. In this case, the Turkic people's defense against Tongwan City must be lax. If Wang Shi rushes for a long distance, it is not because there is no chance to fight. Next. If we can capture Tongwan City, Liang Shidu, who has lost foreign aid, will be a turtle in the urn. Even if we fail to capture Tongwan City, we can still choose to encircle and fight for reinforcements."

Li Jing looked at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "General Chen can conquer Yanmen Pass in a day and night, and Hangu Pass in an hour. To the Turks, Tongwan City is a mighty city. In the eyes of General Chen, it must be easy to capture!"

Chen Ying nodded and said: "Transfer the Lingzhou Pingyuan Army's [-]% off Chongfu to Weichen, and Wei can guarantee that within half a month, Tongwan City will be taken down!"

Chen Ying's self-confidence is justified. Under the attack of the siege methods of the cold weapon era, Tongwan City is naturally extremely tight, but under the attack of Chen's application of hot weapons and primitive biochemical weapons, they can hold on. kind.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "The six Zhechong Mansions in Lingzhou Town have too few troops, so I will transfer the left and right Xiaowei Mansions of Zuowuhouwei to you..."

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Alright!"

Li Jingdao: "The Turkic people are most worried about Xue Yantuo and Huihe people. These two tribes have long held grudges against Jieli Khan. Now that their power is growing, rebellion is almost inevitable."

Li Jiancheng said: "Then add fire to them, I will order Zheng Yuanshou to secretly contact the Xue Yantuo and Huihe tribes..."

Li Jing said: "If you want to destroy the Turks, you must take the method of peeling off the bamboo shoots, layer by layer, piece by piece, and disintegrate one by one, and eliminate Jieli and all the tribes under Tuli's command."

Li Jiancheng said: "Which side will do it first?"

Li Jing thought for a while and said, "Attack west and defend east."

Li Jiancheng asked rhetorically: "What if the Turks counterattack? They have a lot of cavalry, so they can throw off our field division and directly attack the western frontier defense."

Li Jing smiled and said: "I'm afraid they won't come out. After taking Tongwan City, the middle road will have depth, and we can maneuver. First attack on the west road, and we can lure the Turks to attack Tingzhou and Yiwu Prefecture. The three thousand li long road Liang Dao will kill them."

Li Jiancheng said excitedly: "After that, is the decisive battle?"

Chen Ying also eagerly said: "At that time, I will be ready. The troops on the western front will surely attract the main force of the Turks along the Jinshan Mountain. The three counties of Men and Mayi attacked Mobei and copied Jieli's rear route, while Anton and Li Shiji's troops followed the Daxianbei Mountains all the way to the northwest to outflank it."

Li Jing nodded and said: "The place where the eastern and western armies joined forces should be Danhan Mountain. After the meeting, Maogong immediately swept along the banks of the Linhuang River and completely wiped out the old Turkic camp."

Li Jiancheng said excitedly: "The more I talk about it, the more itchy I feel..."

The three laughed knowingly.

At this moment, a servant walked towards Li Jiancheng and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, something has happened!"

Li Jiancheng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

Li Jiancheng walked towards Taiji Palace Shangshu Province, Chen Ying and Li Jing hurriedly followed Li Jiancheng.

It wasn't long, and Shangshu Province was still bustling with people.

Li Jiancheng, Li Jing, and Chen Ying came to the inside of the Shangshu Provincial Department Hall, but they saw Fang Xuanling standing on a desk, and shouted at the officials: "I want to ask everyone, why did you ask for it back then?" Become an official? What is the ideal of a scholar?"

Everyone looked at Fang Xuanling with different expressions.

Wei Zheng watched the changes in everyone's expressions with great interest.

Fang Xuanling pointed in the direction of the Tai Chi Hall behind him, and shouted in hysterics: "The purpose of being an official and the ideal of a scholar are actually the same thing, self-cultivation, family harmony, governance of the country, and peace of the world. Hold your chest and think about it, are you still sticking to your ideals all these years?"

The square in front of Shang Shusheng's gate was suddenly silent.

Fang Xuanling's eyes were like lightning, and he slowly looked at the officials and said: "At any time, the imperial court needs talented officials who can stick to their integrity. There are many detailed rules for the regulation of eliminating officials, but in the final analysis, those who can still Scholars who stick to their ideals stay, and weed out those corrupt officials who have long since lost their purpose of being officials."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he turned and walked into Shangshu Sheng.

Wei Zheng followed in.

The historians were in a hurry to sort out the cases and documents.

Hundreds of officials gradually dispersed in twos and threes.

Chen Ying suddenly laughed.

Li Jiancheng asked curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Yingdao: "I think of an interesting couplet!"

"Oh!" Li Jiancheng asked: "What couplets!"

Chen Yingdao: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door. If you want to get promoted and get rich, please go the other way!"

Li Jiancheng thought about it, and wrote these sixteen big characters with a pen. Li Jiancheng's calligraphy is naturally excellent, at least full of domineering. At this moment, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng came in with money.

Everyone was surprised to see Li Jiancheng here.

Li Jiancheng held the ink-stained couplet, pointed at Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, and said, "I'm sending you two off!"

Fang Xuanling felt excited.

However, Wei Zheng said indifferently: "Your Majesty, this couplet should not be given to the two of us, but should be given to the governments of all states and counties in the world!"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "That's fine, come and order the craftsmen to engrave it on both sides of the gate of the government office in the world!"

Chen Ying clutched his head in pain, this is a big game!

……

In Chenjiabao, Li Xiuning was coaxing the troubled Li Ruoxi, at this moment, Ma Sanbao came to report: "Princess, there is the steward of Hejian King outside the door asking to see you!"

Li Xiuning was annoyed by little Li Ruoxi, she waved her hand and said, "Bring him in!"

Not long after, Li Xiaogong's steward came to the hall. At this time, Li Ruoxi didn't know that she was tired from crying, but she slowly fell asleep.

Li Xiuning looked at the steward of Hejian Palace and said, "You are Kang Bo, what's the matter!"

Ai Ai, who was in charge, said: "My king wants to invite the princess to come to the house!"

Li Xiuning frowned, turned to look at He Yue'er and asked, "Is there any wedding or funeral in Hejian Palace recently?"

He Yue'er sighed and said, "Recently, the King of Hejian took six concubines, and all the servants and maidservants sent people to prepare generous gifts!"

Li Xiuning looked at Kang Bo with lightning eyes and said, "Did the King of Hejian say anything?"

Kang Bo's eyes dodged a little, and he said submissively: "No...no...what's the matter!"

Li Xiuning waved his hand, and Kang Bo heaved a sigh of relief.

He knew about the private meeting between Li Xiaogong and Li Xiaochang, but Chen Ying was not in Chenjiabao, so there was only one Li Xiuning left.

He felt that God seemed to prevent him from getting this great fortune.

Li Xiuning let Kang Bo leave.

Li Xiuning handed Li Ruoxi to RU (this word is also a forbidden word) mother, Li Xiuning suddenly asked: "Yue'er, is Kang Bo very strange?"

He Yue'er nodded and said, "It's a little strange!"

Li Xiuning suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head, and he was shocked and said: "Quick, come and prepare the car, no, prepare the horse!"

Ma Sanbao asked strangely: "Princess, it's so late!"

He Yue'er said: "What happened to the princess?"

Li Xiuning said: "Hurry up, inform the ladies to guard the female soldiers, bring all the equipment, and go to Chang'an City with this princess!"

- woohoo...

The thick and sobbing battle horn sounded, and the air above Chenjiabao was immediately filled with a tense atmosphere of the coming war.

Chenjiabao is an alternative to Chang'an City. Since Li Xiuning and Chen Ying both have military positions, their personal guards consist of two Zhechong mansions, with a total of more than [-] people. Looking at the entire Chang'an City, there are only Qi Wang Li Yuanji's Changlin Army's equipment and organization can be compared with Chenjiabao's guards.

At that time, this was only a figure on the surface. Around Chenjiabao, there were hundreds of workshops controlled by Chen Ying, including the six tyrants in Shuozhou, and all the craftsmen, all of which were Chen Ying's trilogy. Within one day, [-] troops could be raised in Chenjiabao. If there were three days to mobilize, this number would become [-].

After the Detachment of Women's Guards had assembled, Li Xiuning, also in military uniform, rode to the school grounds and said, "Follow me into Chang'an City!"

When more than [-] women's army guards set off, Zhou Qing immediately ordered: "Chenjiabao is on the first level of combat readiness, and all the fierce tigers will return to the building immediately!"

According to Chen Ying's original plan, once the situation in Chang'an changes, the three wheeled ships located in the reed marshes of the Jieyu River will immediately remove their camouflage and immediately become three wheeled warships.

Following the return of more than five hundred fierce tigers, the sleeping Li Ruoxi, Li Siye and Chen Qian, including Li Daozhen, Xu Erniang and other concubines, all boarded the ship.

Even the grandson Wugou, Li Chengqian and other Li Shimin's children were forcibly taken on the warship.

Changsun Wugou panicked for a while, and slowly calmed down, she looked at Li Chengqian and said solemnly: "No matter what happens, you must live a good life, don't let so many people who died for you die in vain! "

At this time, the eldest grandson Wugou thought that Li Shimin had already been arrested, and there was no need for their mother and son to live in Chenjiabao. Everyone knew that Chen Ying was protecting the eldest grandson Wugou and his mother, but it was actually more like a bait. Once caught, there is no need to keep the bait!

……

Li Xiaochang walked into the living room of the Prince's Mansion of Yi'an County in Chang'an City.

Those who were waiting in the living room, the representatives of the Li family clan all stood up with a huff.

The family members of the Li family stepped forward one after another and asked, "Your Majesty Yi'an, is everything going well?"

Li Xiaochang nodded with a smile on his face and said: "The King of Hejian County is not a fool either, the trend of the times, going against the trend, is it the choice of a wise man."

The crowd immediately rejoiced.

Li Xiaochang said loudly: "Li Xiaogong has promised to support us, launch a mutiny, and welcome the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, gentlemen, what is your attitude?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "We are only the king of Yi'an County, and we will follow the lead!"

But Li Xiaochang moved away, and shouted towards the screen: "I will wait for His Royal Highness King Qi, and the horse will follow!"

At this moment, Li Yuanji, dressed in bright armor, slowly appeared from behind the screen.

The moment the members of the Li family saw Li Yuanji, they suddenly realized.

……

After all, the Detachment of Women was not all cavalry, they followed Li Xiuning all the way, and most of them fell behind in less than halfway. When they ran to Chang'an City, Li Xiuning was only surrounded by Ma Sanbao and He Yueer, with more than a hundred personal guards.

Li Xiuning looked worried, and galloped wildly.

He Yue'er looked at Li Xiuning and said: "Princess, it's nighttime, galloping horses, violating the night ban."

Li Xiuning said: "I can't take care of so many things now, I have to rush to the East Palace now."

Li Xiuning and others rushed all the way, and when the horses were so tired that they were foaming at the mouth, they finally came to the gate of the East Palace.Li Xiuning jumped off the horse and quickly slapped the palace gate.

The soldier on duty shouted loudly and asked, "Who is knocking on the door outside?"

Li Xiuning said: "I am Princess Pingyang, open the door quickly, I have something important to report to Your Majesty."

The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness, wait a moment!"

The soldiers trotted all the way to the guard's wing and reported: "General Wei, Princess Pingyang knocked on the door at night, saying that she has something urgent to see Your Majesty."

Wei Ting frowned immediately and said: "It's Haishi now, it's midnight, what will happen?"

Wei Ting paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and asked, "How did Princess Pingyang get here?"

"He came here on horseback."

"No, something must have happened. Open the door and let her in."

……

Outside the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, a group of guards dressed as soldiers of the Imperial Army lined up neatly, coming slowly from far to near.

Li Yuanji, who was standing in the line, had suppressed excitement on his face.

Li Xiaochang looked at Li Yuanji and said, "His Royal Highness, the Xuanwu Gate has arrived!"

Li Yuanji waved his hand and said, "Send a signal!"

A guard soldier held a purple lantern and swayed it clockwise three times.Then rotate counterclockwise three times.

On the wall of the Xuanwu Gate Palace, there was also a lantern responding.

The eldest grandson Anye, who was standing on the wall of Miyagi City, pushed the deputy beside him and said, "Here you are, hurry up and open the door."

The assistant made a promise and hurried down.

The gate of the Xuanwu Gate creaked open.

A large group of black armored warriors entered the city.

Li Yuanji walked to the city gate, where the candle was lit, and looked up.

The eldest grandson Anye on the city wall waved to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji waved to his eldest grandson Anye, and then followed the warriors into the city.
