Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 989

In the middle of the Yangtze River, a river boat slowly passed by.

In the cabin, Li Yicheng of Jiangjin Station stood there a little uneasy.

"Wang Lijiang and Liu Ji really said that?"

"The subordinates dare not hide anything, and they dare not hide anything. The subordinates quietly arranged for people to eavesdrop, and did not miss a single word."

Opposite Li Juncheng is a man with tendrils on his cheeks.

"Unexpectedly, this Liu Ji is quite capable and dares to say anything, but the king of Lijiang is also very sensitive, and he became suspicious based on a prince's teaching. After reading the newspapers in the past, he could feel that something happened to the emperor. It's amazing. .”

"Captain, the King of Lijiang set off to the south early this morning. He originally planned to recruit some people and craftsmen in Bacheng, purchase goods, etc., but he didn't do it, so he left in a hurry."

"Li Cheng, you performed very well. You are worthy of being a student trained by me, Zhang Zhongjian. I will take credit for you for this matter, but you must strictly keep your mouth shut on this matter, and don't leak it to anyone else. "

"Students know the rules." Seeing Zhang Zhongjian take the initiative to bring up the teacher-student relationship, Li Cheng immediately became intimate. "Teacher, if the King of Lijiang refuses to be taught to go south, what should we do?"

The bearded man Zhang Zhongjian sighed, "If he refuses to be taught by the prince to go south, this matter will be more troublesome."

He came here from the south, in fact, he was under the secret order of Captain Li Junxian.

At the critical moment, although the crown prince has arrived in Chang'an as regent, he is only a few years old after all, so he has to rely on the prime ministers.In the city of Chang'an at this time, Prince Luo Jiawen was regent and supervised the country, while Empress Shan was behind the curtain to listen to the government, and the country's uncle Shan Xiongxin controlled Chang'an Gyeonggi Daying.

Both the Habayashi Army and the Guards Qinjun Mansion are responsible for defending the prince and the emperor.

The ministers of the political affairs hall, the imperial uncle of the crown prince and the empress, Yu Linjun's pro-military mansion, and the Hanlin Academy barely formed two forces.However, the two sides are not confronting each other. The queen uses the power of her brother Cao Guoshu and the Habayashi Army's pro-military government to check and balance the Zhengshitang and prevent the Zhengshitang from monopolizing power.

The Zhengshitang also acquiesced in these actions of the queen and the others, and the ministers did not prohibit the queen from intervening in politics to avoid suspicion.

As long as the emperor doesn't wake up for a day, the situation in the Chang'an court will be like this for the time being.

But the two sides also have discussions with each other. For example, the pro-military government is loyal to the prince, but it will also accept the orders and suggestions of the Zhengshitang. This was impossible when the emperor was in the past. In the past, the pro-military government would never pay attention to the Zhengshitang. The command.

Now there is an imperial meeting in the palace, where the two parties discuss important matters and make decisions together in front of the crown prince.

He came here under the order of the Imperial Council, and Li Junxian also authorized him. If Luo Cunxiao refuses to go south and become a vassal, then he must be controlled first.

If he has the slightest sign of rebellion and treason, he will be shot.

Although he was very surprised by this order, since it came from the imperial meeting, it shows that the attitudes of the prime ministers of the political affairs hall and the queen's uncle are the same. Without knowing whether the emperor will wake up, Cunxiao is absolutely not allowed to do this The very prestigious clan kings conspired and rebelled in the local area.

I would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Although this is not the emperor's style, the one in power at the moment is the Imperial Council. They have the same goal, which is to maintain the power of the crown prince at all costs.

On the surface, Li Yicheng is the Yicheng of the last post station, but secretly he is a secret spy of the guard's military mansion. Cunxiao's conversation with Liu Jie yesterday was under his silent surveillance, and he reported the truth to the secret Zhang Zhongjian, the left governor of the bodyguard's military mansion, arrived.

Li Cheng hesitated for a while, but still mustered up the courage to ask, "Teacher, has your majesty's condition improved, can he recover?"

"Li Cheng, you know the rules. Just based on your words, I can actually execute you on the spot. However, you are a student I value, and I also know that you have no malicious intentions. You just care about His Majesty's health, so You won't be held accountable this time."

"Students be damned."

Zhang Zhongjian stroked his tendrils.

"Let me tell you quietly, when I went south from Chang'an, His Majesty's condition has improved greatly. The emperor has opened his eyes and started to eat. Although he still cannot speak or move his hands, Doctor Sun said that these are only temporary. Your Majesty's recovery is better than expected, and it won't be long before he can speak, and not long after, he can even get out of bed and walk."

Li Cheng patted his chest excitedly, "God bless me Daqin, God bless my emperor!"

"Okay, it's fine if you know it, don't spread it anymore, all the news about His Majesty is absolutely confidential. I asked you to arrange someone to join the Lijiang King's team, is it all right?"

"Teacher, please rest assured that the students have already made arrangements. On Lijiang Wang's boat, there are boatmen arranged by students. Further south, there will be boat trackers on the road, and there will be people placed by students. Further south, there will be more The eyeliner has been inserted, and people have even been assigned to the fiefdom of Lijiang."

"Very well, in our line of business, we have to be watertight."

After some simple arrangements, Zhang Zhongjian will leave again.

The next stop, he will go to Jiangling City and infiltrate the Xiaoliang Kingdom. Under the current situation, it is inevitable that the San Francisco in the south of the Yangtze River will not be ready to move because of this. Therefore, the Guards and the Army sent three of the five governors to infiltrate the San Francisco and go deep into the front line. Personally direct intelligence work.

When necessary, they will also wake up all the chess pieces, causing a great turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, and completely muddy the water.

After Li Cheng got off the boat and went ashore, Zhang Zhongjian wrote a secret letter on the boat and sent it back.

The boat continues to sail down the river, and will sail all the way out of the Three Gorges and into the Jingjiang River.

Dafei Ridge.

Tuoba Leopard led his people slowly approaching the corpse of the deceased in the battle at the foot of the mountain.

"Raise your shield!"

There was no movement on the mountain, but Tuoba Leopard didn't dare to be careless.

All kinds of wooden shields, leather shields and rattan shields are raised.

There was still no movement on the mountain.

On the hillside behind.

Garmang Xia Songnang stared at the mountain closely. Although he was only a Dongdai Dongben, he wanted to be a Maben, but he would not let go of this opportunity, so he had long been in front of Zanpu. Ask for a fight.Therefore, among the [-] Tubo and Qiang troops who attacked Dafeichuan this time, there were three groups under their jurisdiction.

Gar is the post of Yidongben, who served as the general of the [-] Tubo army on the left, and [-] Qiang people were under his command.He knew that many people were dissatisfied with him, saying that he only got the opportunity to command the army by virtue of his ancestors' noble status and the same clan as the royal family, and he commanded thousands of people with the position of a thousand households.

However, Gar already had a plan to capture Dafeiling, but before it was officially implemented, he still needed to test the reality of the Qin army on the mountain.

"Blow the horn and beat the drums, let us cheer for the warriors of the Dangxiang Tuoba Division!" Garr sneered.
