Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 357 Chapter 368: Prince Rebellion

Li Shimin had already fallen asleep, and suddenly a guard came to report that Zhang Liang was begging to see him, and he had something important to play. Li Shimin was so annoyed, he was so exhausted after a long day of driving, and he didn't let him sleep well in the middle of the night He felt that when he came out to hunt, he wanted to temporarily put aside the government affairs and relax. He even came to make trouble for himself. Getting up, he yawned and put on his clothes under the service of the maid. The maid's movements were so slow that he was so sleepy that he was in a hurry to finish talking and go to sleep. .

After Zhang Liang came in, he directly reported: "Your Majesty, Hou Junji has the intention of rebellion, please be careful."

Li Shimin frowned, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have proof?"

Zhang Liang was embarrassed for a moment, and could only cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, this is just my guess, and I have no evidence."

"No evidence?" Li Shimin was upset when he heard the words, but he still asked patiently, "Then why do you have such a guess? If there is no evidence, there must be a basis, right?"

Zhang Liang just wanted to say that he saw Hou Junji conspiring with the prince late at night, but then he thought: "If I say that, it will be the same as impeaching the prince for treason. How could the crown prince be able to slander me at will if he cut me off, and it would be such a serious crime as treason."

Zhang Liang was in a dilemma for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of ​​impeaching the prince, and said: "I found that Hou Junji is very abnormal."

"Oh? How abnormal is Hou Junji? Why didn't I find out?" Li Shimin felt that Zhang Liang was a little abnormal.

Zhang Liang didn't know what to say for a while, and really wanted to retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "I don't know why, but I feel that something is wrong with Hou Junji, and there seems to be a murderous look in his eyes."

"A man on the battlefield, how can he go to the battlefield without murderous intent in his eyes." Li Shimin was already secretly angry. He felt that Zhang Liang was simply here to entertain him, so he said impatiently, "Does Zhang Qing have anything else to say?"

Zhang Liang lowered his head and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, there is no more."

"Then back off, I'm going to rest."

"Yes, I will resign." Zhang Liang resigned depressed.

Li Shimin was just about to go back to bed and continue to sleep, but he always felt that something was wrong, so he summoned Li Yuanzhong and said, "Pass down my order, strengthen the patrol at night, and keep an eye on Hou Junji's camp."

"Yes!" Li Yuanzhong took the order to retreat.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, everything was normal. Li Shimin felt that he was indeed suspicious. Hou Junji had followed him for many years, how could he rebel, and what good would it do to rebel against him?So Li Shimin stopped thinking about it and ordered the hunting to start.

However, when Li Shimin was passing through the mountains, an arrow from the back suddenly flew out and hit Li Shimin. Fortunately, Li Shimin was also a soldier, so he reacted very quickly. He dodged in a critical moment. Below the collarbone, Li Shimin passed out on the spot. The scene was chaotic, and everyone carried Li Shimin back to the camp, and everyone was terrified.

Half an hour later, there was a loud cry of killing from the foot of the mountain, and countless soldiers and horses rushed up the mountain, there were as many as 2 people. General Li Anyan.

Li Anyan was originally Li Jiancheng's former subordinate. During the Xuanwumen Incident, he fought bloody to protect Li Jiancheng, and was finally captured alive. Seeing his loyalty and bravery, Li Shimin thought he was a man, and not only pardoned him, but also reused him.

In fact, Li Anyan has always missed the old master Li Jiancheng, and wanted to avenge Li Jiancheng. This time, the prince wanted to rebel. After Hou Junji called his old ministry, he found that there were only 1 people. He was not very sure, so he went to Li Anyan. It had long been discovered that Li Anyan was not sincerely loyal to Li Shimin, and sure enough, Li Anyan agreed without hesitation.

The Jinwu Guards and the Habayashi Guards were forced to retreat steadily by the [-]-strong army, and they did not stop until they were three miles away from the camp. They took advantage of the favorable location to guard against death, while Hou Junji and the prince took advantage of the chaos to get out with the guards , entered the army, and joined Li Anyan.

Li Anyan was originally the leader of Li Jiancheng's guards. Although he was good at martial arts, he was not good at marching and deploying troops, so he handed over the command of the army to Hou Junji. It's from King Qin.Alas, in fact, most of the rebellion is these routines, as long as the high-level leaders fool the middle-level or low-level people, it will be fine.

Hou Junji also sent someone to pretend to shout to the mountain, asking Li Tai to hand over the emperor and accept surrender. After hearing those words in the camp, Li Tai was so angry that his whole body trembled. , didn't provoke anyone, didn't provoke anyone, and was suddenly labeled a big hater of treason, and he was wronged to death. Everyone looked at Li Tai with sympathy while they were anxious.

Since Li Shimin had been in a coma and could not come forward to clarify, the soldiers of the left and right guards became more convinced that Li Tai had kidnapped the emperor. They are very solid, and they are all built according to the favorable terrain of the mountain. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they cannot attack for a while.

Li Chengqian sat in the tooth tent on the mountainside and waited for the news, but when Hou Junji came back, he told him that he could not attack. Li Chengqian was furious and told him to attack regardless of sacrifice.

Naturally, it was impossible for Hou Junji to follow the crown prince's orders blindly, that would be courting death, and Li Chengqian didn't know how to fight, so Hou Junji proposed to set fire to the mountain.

This is a clever plan, but Li Chengqian does not agree, he does not want Li Shimin to die, he wants to capture Li Shimin alive, he wants revenge on Li Shimin, he must sit on the throne in front of him, and then kill all Li Shimin's closest relatives .

Hou Junji was stunned, how could he not be stunned, seeing that he could succeed in the rebellion with only one fire, but now he had to take a detour because of his perverted psychology, Hou Junji was so unwilling, argued hard, and demanded to set the fire on fire.

Li Chengqian was furious, and suddenly yelled: "Hou Junji, you are quite courageous! If everything is done, you will be allowed to sit on the throne of the emperor!"

Hou Junji was shocked immediately. The ancient ritual system was strict, and the emperors of all dynasties contributed a lot. Why did the emperors emphasize the ritual system and formulate the principles of human relations, just to fool the people? How many years have people poked their spines and scolded.His Hou Junji's surname is Hou, but not Li. Even if the rebellion succeeds, how could it be his turn to sit on the throne? The officials will not agree, and the people will not agree, unless he kills all the officials and becomes the bare emperor. , But what's the point of such an emperor, besides, he doesn't have that ability, and the military strength in various places is not a joke. They will definitely come to serve the king.

An Lushan rebelled successfully, but it was not overthrown by the gathering of troops from various places, and then the Li family continued to be the emperor. The etiquette system bound people's thinking, and the people felt that the world was surnamed Li, and no one could replace it. , unless the imperial court is corrupt and disappoints the people.

In the end, Hou Junji had no choice but to compromise, gave up the plan of setting fire, and continued to mobilize troops to attack. The Habayashi Guards and Jinwu Guards on the mountain were under cruel pressure. Gradually, the defense line was torn apart by the left and right guards, and they were almost about to attack. Entering the camp area, Li Yuanzhong led the Jinwu Guards to fight bloody all the way, and then killed them back. As night fell, the troops were temporarily suspended. And there are still 8000 wounded soldiers, while Hou Junji has more than 4000 people left.

It was just late in the day, and two thousand-man teams quietly set off from Chang'an to attack Shanghe Village in Lantian County. This team was led by Du He and Zhao Jie. They came to kill Li Hao's family under Li Chengqian's order.

Fortunately, Li Hao's family was guarded by two hundred Xuanjia troops. Zhao Jie and Du He did not make things difficult for those who lived next to the Hou's mansion, but only attacked the Hou's mansion. After all, they were ordered by the crown prince to kill Li Hao's family. , and they also had a personal feud with Li Hao.

Xue Rengui and Chen Bin led two hundred Xuanjia troops to guard the Hou's mansion to the death. The power of the Xuanjia army is absolutely nothing to worry about, but they are good at rushing and killing, and they are not good at protecting people. Since their family was small, they couldn't form the Iron Turtle battle formation, and their power was greatly reduced. Fortunately, their individual combat capabilities were quite high, after all, they were an elite army.

Although the individual combat ability of the Xuanjia Army is also very strong, but facing ten times the force, it still feels suffocating. Fortunately, the Hou's mansion is tall and thick, and the enemy army did not bring any equipment. Continuously shooting arrows, this is what the Xuanjia Army is good at. They erected shields to form a shield wall to protect the Houfu family.

When Du He and Zhao Jie stormed the Marquis' Mansion, Li Hao and Chen Song had already passed by Chang'an on horseback and ran towards Lantian. The closer he was to home, the more homesick he was, and he always felt a little restless.

As soon as he entered Shanghe Village, he saw the villagers yelling and shouting to greet him, pointing and pointing at Li Hao. Seeing that they seemed to be very anxious, Li Hao asked them to speak one by one, and finally heard clearly: "Hou Lord! There are a large army of soldiers and horses attacking your Marquis Mansion!"

Li Hao was shocked, and hurriedly led Chen Song to the Hou's mansion on horseback.

Still in the distance, I saw countless torches lit around the huge Hou's mansion, illuminating the surroundings of the Hou's mansion in the dark night, and a rough count showed that there were one or two thousand people.

"Master Hou! What should we do?" Chen Song asked in surprise.

"They're looking for death!" Li Hao snarled, looked carefully at the crowd for a while, found Du He and Zhao Jie, pointed at them, and said, "They are led by two people, one is Zhao Jie, the one who wears The one in white robes, and Du He, and the one in purple, let’s catch the thief first, and the king first, and ride our horses to catch them both, you grab the one in white, and I catch the one in purple.”

"Okay!" Without further ado, Chen Song and Li Hao whipped their horses and rushed towards the Hou's mansion.

Du He and Zhao Jie were playboys who were not proficient in war, so they would simply lead troops. Their only advantage was that they had a large number of people, 2000 people, no matter what the concept, it would look like a vast expanse.

At this moment, Zhao Jie and Du He were laughing and chatting on the flat post in front of the Marquis' Mansion. Hearing the shouts of killing all around, they felt very comfortable. It's their enemy Li Hao, so don't be too happy.

All the soldiers stepped forward to storm the Hou's Mansion. There were only a dozen people guarding them. In the darkness, Li Hao and Chen Song rode their horses.

When they found Li Hao and Chen Song, Li Hao was only twenty meters away from them, and someone exclaimed: "Protect me!"

More than a dozen people rushed to block Li Hao and Chen Song.

And Chen Song and Li Hao had already taken advantage of this short time to arrive in front of them. Li Hao pulled out the Tang knife, and Chen Song pulled out his saber. The soldiers waved away.
