This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

After all, the encounter in Chang'an was just a sudden accident. It may have been premeditated, but the prerequisites may not be that simple.

And when the Chang'an encounter and the public opinion war among the gentry began to spread.

The Great Zhao Wangting fought fiercely.

As the Shuhe Army led by Shusun Hai and Murong Chengzhong took over the military affairs of the Zhao royal court, Wan Qipu began to fight guerrillas.

Because Li Junxian's gunpowder magazine had been blown up before, Wan Qi Pu's men were full of fighting spirit.

But after all, he doesn't have many people under his command. Facing Liu Shuyi's army, he may not be able to withstand it.

As the person who fought the most against the Tang army, he would not underestimate the enemy.

Moreover, this time Liu Shuyi mobilized the entire Taohe County's seven Zhechong Prefectures. Now Liu Shuyi's military strength was close to 20,000. He had more than a thousand men under his command to meet them head-on, which was to hit the stone with an egg.

"General, Li Junxian was spotted ahead." Just when Wan Qipu led the army to make a temporary camp, a scout came to report.

Wan Qipu, who was sitting on the ground warming himself by the fire, immediately stood up after hearing this: "Who? Li Junxian? He lost his arsenal and food and grass, and that guy Liu Shuyi didn't punish him?"

"That's not clear." The scouts shook their heads. When they saw Li Junxian, they were actually a little confused.

"Damn it, now that you've discovered it, don't let him run away." Wan Qi Pu didn't care so much anymore and said immediately, "How many people did he bring?"

"More than two thousand soldiers and horses are heading south now." The scout said quickly.

Hearing this, Wan Qi Pu raised his weapon and said, "Send the order, the army is about to start. If we can't defeat Liu Shuyi, how can we not defeat him, Li Junxian?"

After saying that, the army moved.

It is a configuration of one person and two horses, and its mobility is evident.

On the other side, Shu Sunhai was also leading an army to confront Liu Shuyi's army at Jishipo.

Since Liu Shuyi's army entered the imperial court of Zhao, they were intercepted by Shusun Hai at Jishipo.

The confrontation between the two sides has lasted for more than a day or two, but no one has rashly ordered an attack. They are all waiting for or creating better fighters.

Shusun Hai actually had a chance to fight once before, when Wanqi Pu burned Li Junxian's camp, but things happened too suddenly at that time, and Shusun Hai was not sure of it.

This resulted in a confrontation between the two sides.

"General, news just came from General Wanqi, saying that they found traces of Li Junxian in the wild." Just as Shusun Hai was arranging the fortifications, one of his subordinates came to report.

Hearing this, Shusun Hai was also stunned for a moment.

In their view, Li Junxian made such a major mistake and Liu Shuyi would definitely clean him up. As a result, Li Junxian continued to lead the troops as if nothing had happened, which was a bit surprising.

"What does Li Junxian want to do if his troops do not join Liu Shuyi's army?" Murong Chengzhong said with some confusion, "In this battle, the Tang Dynasty is determined not to focus on attacking cities and territories and letting a large army wander outside. What does Liu Shuyi want to do?"

In this battle, everyone actually knew that conquering cities and territories was not a strategic purpose.

The battle between the two sides is just a demonstration of their respective strengths.

One hopes to prove to the world through this battle that the Ming Dynasty Iron Cavalry is by no means a wasted reputation.

The other is just to tell the world that Ming Dynasty is not as powerful as you think.

After pondering for a while, Shusun Hai said: "What to do? Besides deceiving people, what else can Liu Shuyi do?"

Since Liu Shuyi was transferred to Taohe County, Ming Dynasty has distributed all the information about this person to all the courtiers, and Shusun Hai naturally also had a copy.

In order to better prepare for the upcoming war, Shusun Hai even carefully analyzed the current situation in Taohe County.

"Judging from the information we have previously learned, this Li Junxian is not a member of Shu King Li Ke, and Li Junxian has not been punished for his previous mistakes. It is obvious that Liu Shuyi does not want him to withdraw from this vortex prematurely." Shusun Hai said, "Actually speaking, the one who feels the most aggrieved right now is probably Li Junxian.

The previous mistake had to be a good thing for him. If he was really punished by Liu Shuyi even if he was imprisoned, it would be the best result for him. After all, as long as he could get out of this vortex, there would be no problem. There is a loss.

But Liu Shuyi didn't do this, but Liu Shuyi obviously couldn't trust him, so he could only let him go and let him and I, Daming, accumulate more hatred.

This completely turned Li Junxian towards the Shu kings.

Not to mention, it's hard to say whether Liu Shuyi inherited his father's talents, but he was not left behind by the treacherous and insidious Han people. "

At this point, Shu Sunhai said again, "In this way, we can inform General Wanqi and let him try to get in touch with Li Junxian, but there is no need to kill him.

As long as he adopts this attitude, with Li Junxian's wisdom, he will definitely be able to make the most correct response.

At the same time, the army was ordered to prepare for war and be ready to send troops at any time. The confrontation between us and Liu Shuyi took too long. "

After hearing what he said, all the soldiers made arrangements one after another.

But Murong Chengzhong, who was about to go out, suddenly turned around and asked: "General, was Li Junxian's camp attacked deliberately?"

Hearing Murong Chengzhong's question, Shusun Hai smiled and said, "It's hard to say, but judging from Li Junxian's situation, the possibility of him doing this is very high, so he is still worth fighting for. One or two.

If we can win over him, we will have a breakthrough in Taohe County. "

For now, Taohe County is strictly guarding against them.

In fact, there is no need to strictly guard against it. Nowadays, almost all the powerful officials in Taohe County are inextricably related to Li Ke's family. The few who are like Xu Jingzong are all human beings. Even if they want to It's not that easy to win.

After hearing this, Murong Chengzhong bowed and walked out.

And just after they all left, Shusun Hai was looking at the simple sand table and thinking about how to defeat the enemy, when another person came in and said: "General Qi, there is news from the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Liang, Duke of the State of Yun, was transferred to the position of chief military officer of Longyou Road to coordinate all military affairs in Longyou Road."

Ok?

Shusun Hai was stunned: "Is this putting a father on Liu Shuyi's head?"

Liu Shuyi is just the military commander of Taohe County, and he only coordinates the military affairs of Taohe County. However, Taohe County belongs to Longyou Road. Doesn't this mean he has a father on his head?

Of course, the chief marching officer of Longyou Road does not exist on weekdays. It is a position that only exists during wartime.

"Zhang Liang?" Shusun Hai heard this and said quickly, "Send this news back to Riyue Mountain. It seems that our Shuhe Army alone is not enough to support this battle.

Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you want to thoroughly measure the depth of my Ming Dynasty. "

……

On the other side, be more logical.

Li Chengqian is busy making arrangements for the southern expedition.

Just yesterday, Li Chengqian had sent Pu Gufuze to go south to Central Tianzhu with the Ming Dynasty's credentials. The name is naturally to protect the life and property of our Ming Dynasty mission.

Regardless of whether the war is just, the name must be just.

As for Niboluo's army, Li Chengqian did not let them invade East Tianzhu now. The time was not yet available. In any case, it would have to be done after Pu Gu Fuze successfully arrived in Central Tianzhu.

Of course, in the past few days, Li Chengqian often competed with Princess Chi Zun in martial arts. As a young man, his mental strength is strong, and he has no sense of crisis like an iron pestle being ground into a needle.

In Li Chengqian's words, practicing martial arts on the plateau can be regarded as physical exercise. After all, there are few places where you can compete in martial arts until you are out of breath.

Just when Li Chengqian was sparring with Princess Chi Zun in martial arts, Dong Xue walked in with an embarrassed look on her face and said, "Your Highness, someone from Chang'an is here."

And Li Chengqian was speechless when he heard this. You said that at such a critical time, wouldn't this sudden news dampen my enthusiasm for the old Li family?

"Go down first, I will be there soon." After taking a breath, Li Chengqian said.

After Dongxue left, Li Chengqian came a moment later.

"Miss Dongxue has been serving His Highness for many years," Princess Chi Zun said while helping Li Chengqian change his clothes.

Li Chengqian naturally understood what she meant and smiled: "It's been a few years."

He didn't say anything unnecessary, and there was no need to say anything.

For him, women are actually not that important. If it were not for the temporary purpose of maintaining the relationship with Nibala, how could he still compete in martial arts on the plateau?

It's comfortable, but so damn tiring!

When Li Chengqian came to the big tent, there were already many people in the big tent.

"Your Highness, not long ago, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty transferred Zhang Liang to be the commander-in-chief of the Longyou Road March. And not long ago, the commanders of the Changming Army Li Jingren, Fang Yiai, Cheng Chuliang and others, and the Tang Youwuhou General Liang Jianfang were in Chang'an City. There was a small-scale encounter..."

The secret agent explained everything that had happened recently in detail.

Li Chengqian was also a little stunned after hearing this.

"Zhang Liang will be appointed as the chief military officer of Longyou Road?" This was something Li Chengqian never expected.

You know, Zhang Liang is not someone like Liu Shuyi, he is Li Ershi's true confidant.

Placing it on Longyou Road is not a trivial matter for either Li Chengqian or Zhang Liang.

After all, as long as Zhang Liang falls into this vortex, it will be difficult for both parties to avoid conflict.

Moreover, the most interesting thing is that according to the information he has, Zhang Liang is not Li Ke's person.

This makes Li Chengqian a little difficult to understand.

What does Li Er mean by placing Zhang Liang on Longyou Road at this time?

"Is there any connection between Zhang Liang and the King of Shu recently?" Li Chengqian asked.

"There is no news about this," the spy said, "but there is news that Duke Yun has five hundred fake sons..."

"Five hundred fake?" Before the spy could finish speaking, Li Chengqian took over the conversation and suddenly became enlightened.

He remembered that Zhang Liang in history seemed to have been killed by Li Er in the name of rebellion because of the so-called five hundred fake men.

In this case, it makes sense for Li Er to transfer him to the position of chief marching officer of Longyou Road.

"It seems that my father is trying to borrow a knife to kill someone." After understanding this, Li Chengqian immediately laughed.

"What your Highness means is that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty hopes to use our help to get rid of Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun?" Zhao Yan was a little stunned and asked, "But Zhang Liang doesn't seem to have made any big mistakes?"

"What's the big mistake?" Li Chengqian heard this and immediately laughed and said, "Raising five hundred fake children is not a big mistake? What does Zhang Liang want to do, raising so many fake children?"

He also wanted to take the opportunity to beat these guys. They should not imitate the founding achievements of the Tang Dynasty. Once they gained power, they would become arrogant.

"Indeed, as the Duke of the Tang Dynasty, he is extremely favored, and raising five hundred fake children is indeed a bit too arrogant.

You know, even the princes in Chang'an would not dare to be so arrogant. Five hundred fake men, that is, five hundred private soldiers! And not counting it within the scope of the chapter, Duke Yun did go too far with this move. "

Yuchi Baolin immediately agreed.

He originally came from the Duke's Mansion, so he knew all the ins and outs here.

Moreover, Zhang Liang was born in the military, and his pretenders must have been selected from the army. The combat effectiveness of such a group of pretenders can be imagined.

"Don't think that five hundred people is not many." Li Chengqian also nodded and said, "For us now, five hundred people are indeed nothing to fear, but you must know that when I started my career, there was only one person under my command who could mount a horse. Counting one, there is no number of five hundred.

Moreover, when my father was involved in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he only had a few hundred troops at his disposal.

Duke Yun has evil thoughts and should be killed!

Pass on the order, if I, Daming, fight Zhang Liang on the battlefield, I will kill him without mercy!

Regardless of whether they are plotting against the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are plotting against the Tang Dynasty, their sins are unforgivable! "

"But didn't we indirectly help the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?" At this moment, Pulu Boqi said with some confusion.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he smiled and said: "It's not about helping anyone. This is actually my father who set a trap for me. If we really want us to kill Zhang Liang, no matter how important Zhang Liang is in the relationship between people in the Tang Dynasty. No matter what, it is the military line after all.

My father just wants to cut off our relationship with the Tang Dynasty military.

It's just that he underestimated me. Even if I plotted against the Tang Dynasty, I never thought of attacking his army.

Our Ming Dynasty now has hundreds of thousands of cavalry. If we really want to compete with him for the world, why should we do this?

Even if he is defeated, he can still tear off a piece of flesh from his body! "

Today's Li Chengqian is no longer the submissive person he was back then. Today's Li Chengqian has the confidence to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger.

"By the way, Your Highness, there is another news recently." At this moment, the secret spy said again, "It came from the Tang Dynasty Palace. It is said to be a prophecy many years ago, saying that after the third generation of the Tang Dynasty, the female King Wu takes the Li family and replaces the world."

"Is it coming from the palace?" When Li Chengqian heard this, he thought about it again, "Is there another news about Li Junxian's fifth wife?"

When the spy heard this, he was also stunned: "His Highness already knows?"

Li Chengqian smiled. He had known it for a long time. He knew it when he watched The Legend of Wu Meiniang...

"This king understands why my father still keeps Li Junxian in Taohe County. That's why." Li Chengqian's eyes turned cold, "Well, since Zhang Liang can kill, how can Li Junxian not be able to kill him?" Exception? According to the King's oral instructions, this war with the Tang Dynasty will be fully supported by the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works, and the General Supervisor!

When fighting, do not leave any behind, do not surrender prisoners, and kill them all!

Since he wants to weigh me, Daming, then be prepared to cut my flesh! "
