The first emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 474 Li Chengqian's Secret Letter
When Yu Chigong heard Xu Maogong's words, he couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, and said to Xu Maogong: "You old man with a nose and a nose, what's your heart?"

"If it was decades ago, we old guys were all young and strong. Even if he was ten Gai Suwen, I, Yu Chigong, would not pay attention to him."

"But now that Lian Po is old, I'm afraid that even I, Yu Chi Gong, may not be the opponent of Gai Suwen. If you make such a decision, you will be in danger for the emperor."

"I didn't expect you, Yu Chigong, to serve the old age. It seems that your consciousness has really come up." Xu Maogong said with a smile on his face.

At the same time, he took out a secret letter from his sleeve and handed it directly to Li Shimin.And continued: "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from His Royal Highness Xian Wang."

Li Shimin took the secret letter and opened it, his brows that were originally frowning were also relaxed.At the same time, he said: "Go and answer Gai Suwen, and say that I have accepted his letter of challenge."

At this moment, Yu Chigong couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I don't know what that kid said. He actually made the Emperor so relieved."

"Don't worry, someone will come to help you tonight." Li Shimin said to Yu Chigong with a smile on his face.

……

Seeing the Goguryeo army in front of him, Xue Rengui couldn't help feeling extremely anxious.If he can't break through the opponent's defense, then Li Shimin is really in danger.

But with his current strength, it is impossible to forcibly break into the camp.Otherwise it would be no different from committing suicide.

Fortunately, in the evening, Cheng Chuliang had already brought someone here.The number of Tang troops also increased from the original 2 to 15.

This also gave Xue Rengui enough strength to fight the Goguryeo army with real swords and guns.

So Xue Rengui prepared to lead troops to forcibly attack the defense line of the Goguryeo army.But it was stopped by Cheng Chuliang.

I saw Cheng Chuliang took out a secret letter from his pocket, handed it directly to Xue Rengui and said, "Brother Xue, don't worry, this is an explanation from His Highness."

Xue Rengui took a look at the secret letter, and couldn't help showing a hint of puzzlement on his face.But in the end, he still spoke: "Order the whole army to prepare for a decisive battle. Cooperate with His Highness to complete the plan."

Following Xue Rengui's order, the 15 troops were all gearing up.It looked like it was about to fight to the death with the Goguryeo army.

This couldn't help but make Amulun dare not relax, and ordered the whole army to guard against death.Don't let a Tang Jun break through your encirclement.

But what Amulun didn't expect was that Tang Jun had put up a posture but didn't make a move for a long time.This inevitably made Amu Lun feel strange.

But now he didn't dare to relax, he could only think that Xue Rengui was looking for an opportunity.Look for an opportunity to stand out in one fell swoop.

But how did he know that Xue Rengui was no longer in front of the two armies at this time.Instead, go to the back of Phoenix Mountain.

Behind this Phoenix Mountain is a cliff, which is tens of feet high.Don't talk about people, even the beasts in the mountains can't even think about going up.

But at this time, thousands of people gathered under the cliff, and the leader was Li Chengqian's Heavenly Guard Captain Jiang Chengzu.

Leading behind him is Li Chengqian's Four Elephant Guards.According to Li Chengqian's instructions, he came here overnight.

Seeing Xue Rengui coming, Jiang Chengzu stepped forward and said, "General Xue, you are here, everything is ready."

"Then I will thank you all. Whether we can go to Phoenix Mountain tonight depends on the brothers." Xue Rengui nodded and said to Jiang Chengzu.

The two Huobao brothers said to Xue Rengui with a smile on their faces: "General Xue, just watch and keep it. Before tomorrow morning, the Four Elephant Guards will reach the top of Phoenix Mountain."

To be honest, even Xue Rengui didn't think anyone could climb this cliff.It can even be said that even if someone wants to come down from the cliff, it is absolutely dead.

At this time, the two brothers of Huobao and their people had already started to get busy.Steel pipes were unloaded from the carriage one by one.There are also some unknown guys, packed in wooden boxes.

Xue Rengui naturally didn't know what these things were.But if it is seen by people of later generations, even ordinary people will know what it is.

Because these things are the connection buckles needed to build scaffolding on construction sites in later generations.

Immediately, everyone saw the steel pipes standing up one by one, and then fixed them with pinches.Soon, a climbing ladder with a height of five or six feet was erected.

Naturally, I did not forget to reinforce the cliff on the way to ensure that the steel pipe ladder will not tilt and collapse.

Why did Li Chengqian suddenly think of this method, to climb Phoenix Mountain from the cliff.That is to say, those cliff villages living on the top of the mountain in later generations gave him enough inspiration.

So Li Chengqian purchased a sufficient number of steel pipes in the super dandy system.Prepare to climb up Phoenix Mountain without anyone noticing.

Only in this way can those veterans who have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty be guaranteed.It will not become the soul of the dead under Gai Suwen's flying knife.

I worked like this for most of the night, building a ladder made of four pairs of steel pipes.It was successfully built on the cliff.

But Jiang Chengzu didn't forget Li Chengqian's explanation, and he didn't directly let everyone climb up at the same time.Instead, the four squads led by the Four Elephant Guards went up to Phoenix Mountain from the four ladders.

After these people reached the top of Phoenix Mountain, they found a large tree of sufficient thickness.Secure it with wire and then again with the ladder.

After working like this for a whole night, the Four Elephant Guards finally successfully boarded Phoenix Mountain.And according to the agreement, they came towards the mountainside.

……

Li Shimin was sleepless that night, although he already knew about Li Chengqian's plan.But he didn't know what method Li Chengqian would use to get up to Phoenix Mountain without anyone noticing.

If it weren't for Li Chengqian's endless spooky ideas.If it were someone else who assured himself like this, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

Seeing that it was dawn, Li Shimin directly called Xu Maogong over.And he asked, "Is the person Gao Ming said coming?"

In fact, Xu Maogong was also very worried, after all, Phoenix Mountain has been surrounded by water.Even he didn't know how Li Chengqian would go up the mountain.

Just when Xu Maogong shook his head to Li Shimin, Yu Chigong walked in with a big smile.And there is one person with him.

The man came in front of Li Shimin, saluted directly and said: "The last general Jiang Chengzu, ordered by His Highness to lead the four elephant guards to come to Phoenix Mountain to escort him."

"What did you say? You said you brought all four thousand and four elephant guards." Li Shimin asked Jiang Chengzu with an expression of disbelief.
