Man Tanghong

Chapter 136 Li Shimin With Tied Hands and Feet
They subconsciously felt that the great victory at Weizeguan might be due to some internal problems among the Turkic people.

Li Shimin did not respond to what Qu Tutong and others said, but read the letter in detail again.

After reading it, my face was wonderful.

There are doubts, shock, relief, and... anger.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing that Li Shimin was unwilling to speak, the others didn't dare to ask again, but Qu Tutong didn't care, and he called out tentatively.

Li Shimin didn't say anything, and handed the letter to Qu Tutong, so that Qu Tutong could read it by himself.

Qu Tutong took the letter and read it quickly, Qin Qiong and others also stretched their necks and moved closer to Qu Tutong.

"Where is Wang Xu?"

When Qu Tutong and others read the letter, Li Shimin spoke expressionlessly.

Wang Xu didn't understand why Li Shimin suddenly came to him.

Ever since he said an inappropriate remark outside Luoyang City, he has been thrown into the 'cold palace' by Li Shimin.

After that, Li Shimin never talked to him again.

Even if he needed to do something, he would let Changsun Wuji pass on the message.

Now Li Shimin suddenly began to 'favor' him, and he was a little 'flattered'.

Wang Xu rode forward anxiously, bowed and said, "What orders does Your Highness have?"

Li Shimin glanced at Wang Xu, and said coldly: "Take your people and rush to Weize Pass as soon as possible to confirm whether Weize Pass is really a big victory."

"minister……"

Wang Xu hesitated.

Li Shimin frowned, "Huh?!"

Wang Xu hurriedly said: "I obey."

Li Shimin snorted and did not speak again.

Wang Xu hurriedly retreated, and after gathering his own people, he hurried to Weize Pass.

"Good guy, is this Su Dingfang really so powerful?"

Fan Shixing huddled in the crowd, saw a few lines of writing through the gap, and shouted exaggeratedly.

Guo Zihe yelled: "Brother Qin, you seem to have fought against Su Dingfang. You should know how capable Su Dingfang is. Is Su Dingfang really as powerful as the Jiebao said?"

Qin Qiong looked at the letter and said, "It's hard to say..."

Li Shou was in a hurry, "What does it mean to say? Is it great or not?"

Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment, and said: "Although I have played against him briefly, I haven't tested his depth. But this person should be a person who values ​​love and righteousness."

Guo Zihe, Li Shou and others rolled their eyes.

Qin Qiong said that he didn't say anything.

As for saying that Su Dingfang is a person who values ​​love and righteousness, that's not credible.

After all, Qin Qiong only fought against Su Dingfang once, and didn't have a deep understanding, so how can he be sure that Su Dingfang is a person who values ​​love and righteousness.

Qin Qiong looked away from the letter, glanced at everyone, and didn't explain much.

He's not Cheng Yaojin's talkative guy, he likes to talk when he's free.

If you have a disagreement with someone, you still have to talk it over with them.

"Who is this Xie Shufang?"

Li Junxian, who has always had no sense of presence in the crowd, but is very conspicuous, spoke abruptly.

Huang Junhan laughed and said, "Is there anyone who Ni Wu Niangzi doesn't know?"

Li Jun gave Huang Junhan a blank look.

Li Junxian is handsome and has a good figure. Among the men who are tall and thick, he looks particularly eye-catching.

Some of the ugly ones are jealous of the handsome ones, so they nicknamed them Wu Niangzi in a wicked way.

"Xie Shufang used to be a married couple under His Royal Highness Qi Wang's account. On the way to the conquest, he presented Yuan clothes and was conferred the title of Pingyao County Marquis by the sage."

Qu Tutong knew about Xie Shufang's background, so when he heard that someone didn't know Xie Shufang, he explained it casually.

"Hey, he's still a Marquis, that's even more remarkable."

Huang Junhan screamed exaggeratedly.

Qu Tutong and the others stopped to read the letter and gave Huang Junhan a blank look.

Huang Junhan was not praising Xie Shufang, but ridiculing Xie Shufang.

After all, all the people present are fair.

Even if it is not the highest state prince, it is also a county prince or county prince.

A Hou is not worthy of their high regard.

"In the battle of Weizeguan, he broke into the Turkic camp alone, disturbed the Turkic camp, and beheaded the wolf-headed banner of Turkic Turkhan Khan. After returning to the court, he might be named a prince. neck and neck.

When you go to court in the future, you will have to meet each other, so you should save some morals. "

Yin Qiao is a kind person, he can't see Huang Junhan looking down on Xie Shufang, and he doesn't want Huang Junhan and Xie Shufang to become enemies because of this kind of thing, so he criticized Huang Junhan angrily.

A group of people continued to look down, the more they looked down, the more shocked and shocking they became, and the faster their expressions changed.

"This……"

After all the people have read the letter, one by one you look at me and I look at you, not knowing what to say.

There were indeed problems within the Turks, and King Qi did use the internal problems of the Turks to force the Turks back.

However, the internal problems of the Turks were not sudden, but planned by King Qi.

King Qi actually defended Weize Pass with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Weize Pass, and more than [-] strong men brought over by Yu Wenbao.

If that was the case, they wouldn't have nothing to say.

They will question the authenticity of the news stated in the Jiebao, and they will also discuss whether Su Dingfang, Xie Shufang and others are really capable of doing what the Jiebao said.

He will even replay the battle at Weizeguan from beginning to end, and deduce things that were not mentioned in the victory report.

What really left them speechless were the two sentences written in the good news.

One is that Su Ding's phalanx beheaded Liu Heitai and won the first victory of the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Hebei.

The second is that on the victory report, it is clearly written that "Luo Shixin, the commander of the second army from the left of Prince Qi's mansion", led the army.

Su Dingfang, a surrendered general, beheaded Liu Heitai, making the generals who went to Hebei feel ashamed.

Luo Shixin was dubbed as the commanding army of the Second Commander's Mansion from the left of Prince Qi's Mansion, which made them realize that Luo Shixin might have left the Prince Qin's Mansion and went to serve in the Prince Qi Mansion.

Luo Shixin left the Qin Palace and ran to the Qi Palace. The meaning behind this is great.

It's no wonder that Li Shimin didn't comment on the Weizeguan battle after reading the victory report.

The fierce general under his command ran away with others, and he was still a fierce general with a high status, he could feel happy in his heart.

Qu Tutong, Qin Qiong and the others almost all looked at Li Shimin.

Only Wang Junkuo had a pensive look on his face, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"What do you watch me do? Isn't it a good thing for Wei Zeguan to win? Why don't you guys look so happy?"

Li Shimin looked at Qu Tutong and the others with expressionless questions.

Qu Tutong and the others looked at me and I looked at you, feeling dumbfounded.

You are not happy, dare we be happy?

"Order to go down and set up camp on the spot. The soldiers have been running around with us for so long, and it's time for them to take a good rest."

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Shimin gave some orders and left on horseback.

Qu Tutong and the others looked at each other, and Qu Tutong and Han Liang chased after them.

Li Shimin should need a few confidants to talk to him now.

Qu Tutong and Han Liang chased Li Shimin for two miles and stopped by a small stream.

Han Liang didn't dare to rush forward, only Qu Tutong walked to Li Shimin's side first.

Seeing Li Shimin looking at the creek, he was fascinated.

Qu Tutong hesitated and said: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Qi should have transferred Shi Xinzheng into the mansion because of desperation and no one was available. You also know that the person in charge of the army must be righteous.

There are only Her Royal Highness Princess and King Qi in Wei Ze Pass.

It is inconvenient for His Royal Highness Qi Wang to intervene in the people of Her Highness the Princess.

Therefore, if His Royal Highness King Qi wants to use Shi Xin, he can only transfer Shi Xin to his residence. "

Li Shimin was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "I know..."

Qu Tutong smiled bitterly: "But His Highness seems unable to let go?"

Li Shimin glanced at Qu Tutong, and said calmly: "I am mentally prepared."

Qu Tutong looked at Li Shimin in astonishment.

Li Shimin sighed, and continued: "Since Shi Xin was trapped in Mingshui City, and I still failed to rescue him in time after you and Yuan Ji reminded me, I knew that Shi Xin might leave me."

Luo Shixin was trapped in Mingshui City, when it snowed suddenly, Qu Tutong sent someone to remind Li Shimin at Li Yuanji's request.

But Li Shimin insisted on his own opinion, and did not immediately send troops to help Mingshui City.

If Li Yuanji hadn't recklessly led people to Mingshui City, Luo Shixin might have died.

This is a mistake in Li Shimin's decision-making, so he must bear the price he will pay after making the mistake.

"I just didn't expect that Shi Xin would leave me in such a way. I also didn't expect that Yuan Ji would bring Shi Xin into the mansion without any disguise."

Li Shimin looked unhappy.

Qu Tutong smiled wryly and said, "Your Highness should understand the principle of following the authority in a hurry."

Li Shimin stared, "Then he can't hide it? Can't he save some face for me? Is it difficult for him to add the word "Temporary Generation" in front of the Tongjun of the Second Commander's Mansion on the left?"

Qu Tutong smiled wryly and did not speak again.

If Li Shimin said that, then Li Yuanji did something wrong and didn't save face for Li Shimin.

Those who poach others, don't hide one thing or two, and write it out clearly, it's no different from slapping someone in the face.

"You send someone to tell him that Shi Xin can follow him, but the food he left in Luoyang City must be mine. He must continue to do the job of leveling the ranks in the future."

Li Shimin said arrogantly.

Li Shimin now also knows that Li Yuanji burned the Luoyang granary to scare people, and the grain was still there, so he imposed conditions arbitrarily.

Although Li Yuanji poached Luo Shixin, it was like poaching a piece of meat from his heart.

But he wasn't going to bet on the position of prince for Luo Shixin and fight Li Yuanji.

Now the war in Hebei is over, Liu Heita's head has been beheaded, Xu Yuanlang has also been crushed by the army he led, and the Turks have also retreated.

It can be said that he went to Hebei this time and achieved a comprehensive victory.

According to Li Yuan's promise to him, after returning to Beijing this time, he will be the crown prince.

At this time, if there were some scandals about discord between brothers, Li Yuan might use this to break his promise, so he couldn't fight Li Yuanji.
