Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 359 Chapter 370: King Qin

Li Hao smacked his lips. This is the truth. The prince would at most raise some generals, how could he mobilize troops? Otherwise, would the emperor want to live? After pondering for a moment, Li Hao said loudly: "Chen Laosan, go and see if that bastard Du He is dead, and if he's not dead, bring me here!"

Just at this moment, Chen Bin came back with the Xuanjia army to return to his command. Although the enemy escaped, but only more than 100 people escaped, he began to order: "Chen Bin, you interrogate Zhao Jie and ask him to write a confession. Come on, you are allowed to use any cruel criminal law, if you really can’t, I won’t even accuse you if you goug out his eyes, I just want a confession.”

Chen Laosan came over to report at this time: "Master Hou, Du He is still alive, but passed out, his thigh is bleeding, can you save him?"

"Who the hell is free to save him! Let him die!" Li Hao shouted impatiently, turned his head to look at Zhao Jie, and said with stern eyes, "You'd better write the confession for me quickly, or I will Chop your life off and feed it to the dogs!"

"I...I write, I write..." Zhao Jie was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart, and he stuttered.

Li Hao ordered someone to fetch a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked Zhao Jie to write a confession of the crime, and drew a pledge, and then said: "Chen Bin, quickly take His Royal Highness King Jin to Chang'an to find Duke Yi..."

Li Hao was talking, but suddenly stopped, he found a problem, how to enter Chang'an city in the middle of the night, and, since the crown prince wanted to rebel, didn't he leave behind in Chang'an city?Isn't he afraid that Chang'an will send troops to rescue the emperor?

This time Li Hao really worried too much, the crown prince really didn't stay behind in Chang'an city, because this rebellion was planned by Hou Junji. There are many generals, their strength is limited, it is impossible to control Chang'an, they can only give it a go, concentrate all their forces on Shaohua Mountain, kill Li Shimin in one fell swoop, the most important thing is not to leak the news, and then when they come back, they will put on the emperor's guard of honor , as long as he successfully enters the Taiji Palace, let Li Chengqian sit on the throne, and hold the jade seal in his hand, the big event will be accomplished.

Li Hao thought for a while, and couldn't care less, and murmured: "I'll go to Chang'an myself, Chen Bin, escort those rebels, and Zhao Jie and Du He, let's go to Chang'an, I don't believe it, Can’t enter Chang’an City!”

Li Hao came to Chang'an with a mighty group of people. When standing under Mingde's gate, Li Hao raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already four o'clock in the morning.

Due to the sudden increase of hundreds of people below the city, the guards on the tower naturally became nervous, and they all bowed their bows and set up arrows, waiting in full force, as if facing a big enemy, Li Hao hurriedly said loudly: "I am Li Hao, the Marquis of Lantian County, the one beside me It's His Royal Highness King Jin! Don't shoot arrows! His Royal Highness Jin wants to see your city gate captain!"

The guards at the top of the city were taken aback when they heard the words. Lantian County Marquis Li Hao and the others naturally knew that they had gained a lot of fame recently. As for King Jin, although his reputation was not obvious, they also knew that he was a prince after all, so it was no joke.

While Li Hao was speaking, the Xuanjia Army around them moved their torches in front of Li Hao and Li Zhi very cooperatively. More than a dozen torches illuminated the two of them. The guards at the top of the city exclaimed. Immediately, someone went to inform the captain of Chengmen.

The captain of the city gate is a man named Zhou Tai, who belongs to Youwuwei. Qin Qiong, the general of Youwuwei, has a good relationship with Li Hao, so Zhou Tai also knows Li Hao. When Zhou Tai came to the tower and saw Li Hao, he hurriedly asked: "Marquis of County Li, King Jin? What are you... what's the matter?"

"It's an urgent matter!" Li Hao said solemnly, "The emperor was hunting in Shaohua Mountain. Prince Li Chengqian and Hou Junji Li Anyan conspired against each other. This Marquis came to report and asked to see General Qin Qiong of Youwuwei, General Su Dingfang of Zuowuwei, and You Xiao General Wei Peng Hai, I hope they can go to Shaohua Mountain to serve the king."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Tai's expression changed dramatically when he heard the words, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and send someone to inform General Qin, General Su, and General Peng that the Marquis of Lantian County and His Royal Highness Prince Jin are asking for an audience at Mingde Gate. , there is an urgent matter!"

"Yes!" Several guards took orders and left after hearing the words.

Then Zhou Tai cupped his hands towards Li Hao and said: "Marquis Li, Your Highness King Jin, wait a moment, I have sent someone to notify the three generals."

"En." Li Hao nodded, and waited patiently under the city. In fact, he was not very patient. He paced up and down there, obviously very anxious.

After more than ten minutes, there was the sound of horseshoes on the street, and Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang, and Peng Hai arrived together. The three climbed up to the tower and looked at Li Hao at the bottom of the city. Qin Qiong hurriedly asked, "Li Hao! What happened?"

Li Hao cupped his hands on the top of the tower, and said loudly: "The three generals, the crown prince conspired with Hou Junji and Li Anyan, and now His Majesty is likely to be besieged in Shaohua Mountain. I came here to report the news, and hope that the three can send troops to Shaohua Mountain as soon as possible. Go to Qin Wang, I'm afraid there will be a change!"

"What!" The three of them turned pale with shock when they heard the words, the prince rebelled?This is a big deal.

However, Su Dingfang showed embarrassment and said, "We don't have the right to deploy troops without the official document of the Ministry of War and the imperial decree fish charm from His Majesty!"

Qin Qiong and Peng Hai also frowned when they heard the words, obviously they also felt that this was a problem.

Li Hao said: "You three, I'll go up to the tower and talk to you." After he said that, he got off his horse suddenly, and then took out two strange things to put on his feet. He saw that these things looked like simple shoe covers, and there were extremely sharp holes on the soles of his feet. The iron spikes are like fangs. These are spiked shoe covers invented by Li Hao. They are made of pure steel. With this thing, he can easily climb the city wall.

After Li Hao put on the spiked shoe cover, he sprinted quickly, and then with the help of inertia, his feet strode quickly on the city wall. With this force and inertia, Li Hao staged a jaw-dropping "ladder to heaven", and he ran up the city wall more than ten meters high in one breath.

When he jumped to the top of the city wall, his feet made a crisp "ding" sound, and the three generals just stared at him dumbfounded, speechless for a while.

After a long time, Peng Hai praised sincerely: "Master Hou is really a god!"

Peng Hai had followed Li Hao for nearly half a year, and he admired Li Hao's ability and iron-blooded loyalty very much. Even now that he has become General You Xiaowei, he still admires Li Hao inexplicably.

"I won't talk more nonsense." Li Hao said, "Look at the captives and corpses under the city, they are all people sent by the prince to attack my Marquis Mansion. They went to a total of 2000 people, and the leader was Du He and Zhao Jie. There is Helan Chushi, Helan Chushi escaped, Du He was injured and lost a lot of blood, and it is not known whether he is dead or alive, but this Zhao Jie is below, he has already confessed to their conspiracy, this is a confession." He said from his arms He took out Zhao Jie's confession and handed it to them.

The three of them took torches to illuminate the confession, and after reading it all, they all looked solemn. To be on the safe side, Su Dingfang yelled down the wall and asked, "Where is Zhao Jie?"

Chen Bin pushed Zhao Jie forward and hit Zhao Jie's face with a torch. Zhao Jie hurriedly said, "I'm here, I'm here!"

Su Dingfang asked in a cold voice: "The general asked you, you said that the crown prince Hou Jun and Li Anyan conspired against each other, but is it true?"

"It's absolutely true, it's absolutely true, they rebelled, they really rebelled!" Zhao Jie had already made up his mind on the way here. Now that he has committed the crime of treason, the only way to survive is to be a tainted witness. There is hope for meritorious deeds and survival, and dead friends will not die poor people, so let the prince and the others die.

The faces of the three of them became more gloomy when they heard the words, Li Hao said: "Three generals, I know that you are subject to the iron law, as long as the three can trust me, I would like to borrow two thousand soldiers from each of the three, led by King Jin, to go to King Qin , if something goes wrong, King Jin and I will be responsible for all the crimes, and if King Qin succeeds, there will be three names in the credit book, how about it?"

Without further ado, Qin Qiong nodded immediately: "Okay, I trust you, I'll lend you two thousand soldiers and horses!" Since he chose to support Li Hao, he naturally had to trust Li Hao unconditionally.

Peng Hai followed suit and said, "I also believe in Lord Hou, and I will also lend you two thousand soldiers and horses."

Su Dingfang frowned and pondered for a long time, then shook his head and sighed: "Marquis Li, I'm very sorry. Although Zhao Jie testified, the evidence is still not strong enough. Borrowing soldiers is not a child's play..."

Li Hao clasped his hands and said, "General Su is old enough to plan for the country. I know you have good intentions. General Su doesn't have to worry about it. With Uncle Qin and General Peng's 4000 troops, the overall situation can be determined."

Although Su Dingfang refused to borrow troops, Li Hao didn't blame him. Su Dingfang did the right thing. After all, he didn't have any friendship with him.

Of course, Qin Qiong and Peng Hai didn't do anything wrong. They knew themselves well and knew that they were loyal and good ministers. Now that they had evidence, they should make an exception to borrow troops to serve the king.

At dawn, four thousand soldiers and horses gathered outside Mingde Gate. Qin Qiong, Peng Hai, and Su Dingfang came out to see them off. Li Hao cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Qin, please do me a favor. I have brought out all the songs in my family. Please ask Uncle Qin to send someone to my house to watch over me for a few days, my nephew is not very grateful."

Qin Qiong patted her chest and said, "Don't worry about this, I will personally take someone to your house to sit in town, and see who Fang Xiaoxiao dares to cause trouble!"

"Thank you, Uncle Qin, three generals, farewell." Li Hao bowed his hands solemnly to say goodbye, and Li Zhi also bowed his hands together.

The three of them also cupped their hands and said, "Go all the way."

Li Hao was sweating when he heard the words. What he said was like a memorial service. It was too unlucky. He didn't know if he was going to fight a war. Of course, he couldn't care about these things. Zhi turned around and left, followed by 8000 troops and [-] Xuanjia troops. With such a powerful force, he was absolutely confident to deal with Hou Junji's [-] troops. Besides, Li Shimin himself brought [-] troops.

In the four thousand army, there are two thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry. In order to go to support as soon as possible, Li Hao divided the army into two groups, and Xue Rengui led the cavalry one step ahead, rushed to support, and let Chen Bin and Li Zhi lead the infantry to march later. .

When Li Hao went to Chang'an to borrow troops in the middle of the night, Li Shimin was still unconscious in the Shaohua Mountain camp. Because the imperial doctor diagnosed Li Shimin as poisoned, the arrow was poisoned. Fortunately, they rescued him in time and the poison was stabilized. Li Shimin probably won't wake up for a while.

The top generals here are Jinwuwei General Li Yuanzhong and Habayashiwei General Cai Yao. After discussing late at night, Li Yuanzhong and Cai Yao decided to send a master to break through the siege and send a letter to Chang'an to move the rescuers. This time we must send a master to go, and looking at the big camp, Li Yuanzhong and Cai Yao have the highest martial arts. In real comparison, Li Yuanzhong's martial arts is higher than Cai Yao, and finally Li Yuanzhong decided to break through in person. Holding the letter with the seal in his arms, he was ready to break out. In order to cover Li Yuanzhong, Cai Yao took the initiative to launch a fierce attack on the enemy down the mountain, causing chaos.

However, Hou Junji was very experienced. As soon as he heard that the enemy was actively attacking, he anticipated their intentions and immediately ordered to strictly guard all the main routes down the mountain to prevent the enemy from breaking through and reporting!
