Man Tanghong

Chapter 445
They are intimidated.

Because if they really shut out Ling Jing and Xie Shufang and force Ling Jing and Xie Shufang to return to the capital to invite Li Yuanji and Li Shentong, then everything they have done will be exposed.

Li Shentong was relatively easy to deal with, as long as he mentioned the prince's name, said something nice, and said that the prince would definitely visit him afterwards.

There is an [-]% chance that Li Shentong will go home.

But Li Yuanji was not so easy to deal with.

Li Yuanji's temper is well known throughout the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Yuanji arrived at Hangu Pass and wanted to enter the pass, who dared to say no, Li Yuanji dared to mobilize more than 10,000 troops from the Tongjun Mansion to directly break through the pass.

After all, with Li Yuanji's status, apart from Li Yuan's bedroom, there was nowhere else in the Tang Dynasty that he could not go to.

He wants to enter Hangu Pass, and the people at Hangu Pass will not let them in, so he can directly characterize the people at Hangu Pass as rebellious, and then break through the pass violently.

Afterwards, even if someone proves that Li Yuanji was wrong, and therefore impeaches Li Yuanji, the punishment Li Yuanji needs to suffer is nothing more than painless grounding, painless shouting, and painless cutting. Closed.

Everyone in the Tang Dynasty knew that there was no limit to how Li Yuan could favor his son.

Otherwise, for the first time, he would not have created a Tiance general who surpassed Sangong and was almost on an equal footing with the prince.

Nor will it quietly release rumors that the Tang Dynasty will be divided into two, and that one of the two sons will sit in Chang'an and the other in Luoyang.

Yes, the people in the power center of the whole Tang Dynasty knew that it was Li Yuan's rumor not long after Li Yuan released the rumor, and it was the rumor released by Li Yuan to test everyone's attitude.

Even those who didn't react at the time learned the truth from their colleagues not long after.

It was precisely because of this that if Li Yuanji broke through the Hangu Pass violently in a fit of anger, nothing would happen, but the culprit who caused Li Yuanji to break through the pass violently would most likely kill his whole family.

After all, Li Yuan would never kill his son, so even if his son made a mistake, it would not be his fault, but someone else's fault.

So if you want to kill, you will only kill others.

And it's the kind of ruthless, the kind who doesn't spare any chickens and dogs in the whole family.

It is precisely because of this that neither the lieutenant general nor the school lieutenant in Hangu Pass dared to let Li Yuanji come to Hangu Pass.

They were not afraid that Li Yuanji would violently break Hangu Pass, and that they would be beheaded by Li Yuan, or their whole family would be killed.

It was because he was afraid that after Li Yuanji broke through Hangu Pass violently, he would attract the attention of everyone in Datang to Hangu Pass.

In that case, everything they plotted in Hangu Pass will be exposed to everyone in Datang.

In that case, the prince's plan will be exposed, the prince will kill the roots, and the sage will push everything on their heads in order to protect the prince's reputation, and will send their three clans down for the crime of treason.

Therefore, no matter what they said, they could not expose the prince's plan.

Even if it is to be exposed, it cannot be exposed under the noses of everyone in Datang.

Given the lesser of two evils, they would naturally choose the lightest one to carry out.

As for letting Ling Jing and Xie Shufang enter Hangu Pass, the prince's plan was seen, how to deal with it, it can only send someone to ask the prince to decide.

In short, Ling Jing and Xie Shufang just entered Hangu Pass.

As soon as I entered Hangu Pass, I saw a group of fierce soldiers who obviously did not belong to the Hangu Pass garrison formation practicing.

The number of people is about 300 people, all black armor and black face (mask), equipped with two swords, one long and one short, straight and curved, equipped with long spears, the heads of which are all made of iron, strong and extraordinary, equipped with crossbows and crossbow boxes Ten short arrows can be loaded at a time, with a range of about thirty steps.

Its combat effectiveness is no less than that of a mansion army of 500 or 800 people.

How strong the specific combat power is can only be seen when they fight.

This is Ling Jing's own judgment given in the letter.

Seeing this, Li Yuanji thought about it for a while, and ordered someone to pass on Xue Wanshu to Xinglu in Chang'an.

If you don't know the origin of this soldier and horse, it is difficult to clearly judge its combat effectiveness when this soldier and horse is not fighting.

But Li Yuanji happened to know that there were people who had fought with this army under his command, so he had to call over to ask.

The reason why Li Yuanji dared to conclude that this army was only fighting with Xue Wanshu and other people from Youzhou, and not from the same origin as Xue Wanshu and other people from Youzhou. Most of them lived in Youzhou with four Xue Wanshu brothers.

They are the soldiers of the four Xue Wanshu brothers, and they are also the property of the four Xue Wanshu brothers. They are the guests of Youzhou, not the masters of Youzhou, and they are not Li Yi's soldiers.

So they will definitely not mix with Li Yi's soldiers.

Even if Li Yi was willing, the four Xue Wanshu brothers would not be willing.

Among the four Xue Wanshu brothers, although one is naive, the remaining three are all shrewd people. How could it be possible for Li Yi to entrust his entire family fortune to Li Yi when Li Yi lived in a corner?

Just like Yu Chigong, even if he surrendered to Datang, even if he entrusted his family property to Datang, he still received his own family property and his own soldiers.

Therefore, Li Yi's soldiers in Hangu Pass could only have fought against Xue Wanshu and the others, and could not be one with Xue Wanshu and the others.

As for the fierce soldiers that Li Yi gave away, they shouldn't have much to do with Li Yi's soldiers in Hangu Pass.

They should be just colleagues, but they belong to different groups.

After all, those fierce soldiers presented by Li Yi are just ordinary tough soldiers, and there is no trace of wearing a visor, nor is there a habit of wearing a visor.

On the other hand, Li Yi's soldiers in Hangu Pass all wore visors during training, which shows that they would not leave their visors on weekdays.

So it must not have much direct relationship with those fierce soldiers presented by Li Yi.

As for indirect, there should be.

After all, in this era, almost all families live together in the form of clans, and the clans often intermarry. They are both from Youzhou, and they are soldiers under Li Yi's command. There are some people who are related With a reason, it is also reasonable.

However, none of this matters.

The important thing is that since this soldier and horse is equipped with face armor, which can only be equipped by a very small number of special arms, it is so mysterious that it was given to Li Jiancheng as a gift and the power to determine the world in one game.

If you think about the origin, I'm afraid it's not ordinary. It's definitely not an ordinary soldier, nor an ordinary soldier.

Li Yuanji had a preliminary judgment on Li Yi's soldiers in Hangu Pass, and continued to read Ling Jing's letter.

After Ling Jing entered Hangu Pass, after seeing the soldiers and horses that were obviously not the guards of Hangu Pass, he followed his instructions before leaving and kept silent, pretending not to see the soldiers and horses, and also pretending not to notice the soldiers and horses. What is the difference between the soldiers and horses and the defenders of Hangu Pass?

He just took Xie Shufang to Yu Wenbao's residence.

After seeing Yu Wenbao lying on the bed with hemiplegia, wrapped up like a mummy, he and Xie Shufang resolutely announced to Vice General Hanguguan and several school lieutenants.

After beating up a few people severely, expressing anger for Yu Wenbao, and getting a guarantee from several people that they would not hurt Yu Wenbao again, and they were willing to give Yu Wenbao some compensation, they let several people go.

Then, under the temptation of several people, he said that he saw nothing and knew nothing.

Several people also gave them a generous gift for this.

Two golden Buddhas weighing ten catties, and several large and exaggerated pieces of Lantian precious jade.

The vulgarity is a bit vulgar, but it is real enough.

Ling Jing's letter is gone here.

Li Yuanji put down the letter, rubbed the center of his eyebrows, and thought about how to deal with the chain reaction that followed.

He sent Ling Jing and Xie Shufang to Hangu Pass, first to solve the trouble Yu Wenbao encountered, and second, to spy on whether Li Jiancheng was transporting troops through Hangu Pass. with.

But he never imagined that Li Jiancheng would start mobilizing troops before completely controlling Hangu Pass or Yu Wenbao, an outsider, becoming deaf or blind.

In this way, Ling Jing and Xie Shufang's trip is tantamount to defeating Li Jiancheng's plan.

To be precise, it broke part of Li Jiancheng's plan.

Whether Li Jiancheng wanted to keep his mouth shut, or calmed down the matter, or acted as if nothing had happened, he would always come to him.

Even if they don't come in person due to conflicts between them, they will send someone with weight over.

Li Yuanji also guessed who it would be.

It is precisely because I guessed it, so I have to think about how to deal with it.

While Li Yuanji was engrossed in his thoughts, Xue Wanshu broke into the side hall wearing a green shirt with a strong smell of medicine.

Before Li Yuanji saw anyone, he smelled a slightly pungent medicinal smell.

It was also the smell of medicine that pulled him out of his trance.

"Chen Xue Wanshu, see Your Highness, what is the important matter of your Highness's summoning?"

Xue Wanshu walked into the hall, and after bowing, he asked with a puzzled expression.

Li Yuanji also had doubts on his face, and asked, "What were you doing just now, why does your body smell so strong?"

Xue Wanshu smiled wryly, "I was helping Kan Leng and the others to decoct medicine just now..."

Li Yuanji asked Xue Wanshu to sit down, and asked even more puzzled: "Isn't there a medicine boy for decoction? Why do you decoct it yourself?"

After Xue Wanshu sat down, he said dumbfoundedly: "I made a bet with Quan Xu and lost, and then I have to serve them for three days."

Li Yuanji was taken aback and said, "It seems that you and Quan Xu made a big bet for you to serve them as a commanding army."

Xue Wanshu nodded with a wry smile.

Li Yuanji sighed again: "Quan Xu seems to be able to beat you after you placed such a heavy bet."

Although letting Xue Wanshu serve people is not painful to Xue Wanshu, but for a person of status and status like Xue Wanshu, it is a shameful thing to serve someone who is inferior to him.

Quan Xu can make Xue Wanshu bet on this kind of thing, which shows that they are betting big.

Quan Xu can win, and Xue Wanshu can serve them willingly. It can be seen that Quan Xu won thoroughly and aboveboard, and Xue Wanshu was also convinced that he lost.

Although Xue Wanshu is far from being as wise as his second brother, he is not as simple as his fourth brother either.

Quan Xu can beat Xue Wanshu in wisdom, which shows that Quan Xu still has something.
