This way, the enemy can be caught off guard!
They took over Shuofang City at lightning speed and arrested all the rebels, just to prevent the news from leaking out.

Then, they deployed some smoke bombs to attract the Turkic barbarians, set up traps, and then used up their resources to consume them!
Dancing on the edge of a knife!

The only thing to play is the heartbeat!

Eunuch Cao also knew that the situation was critical, so he didn't ask any more questions. He called someone over and said, "Deng Shao, hurry back to Yanyun City! Report what happened here!"

"Here!"

Deng Shao responded, and without delay, he rode a fast horse and quickly headed east!
This place was not very safe, and they had to get the roster back. They had no time to waste, so they cleaned up and made sure there were no clues left.
Then he took those six unlucky guys and rushed away!

night.

More than ten miles outside Shuofang City, in a secret residence of the Hundred Cavalry Division.

Li Kuan still had the roster in his hand. He just glanced at it roughly, but what he found was quite shocking.

Among those involved in the case, there were generals guarding a city and low-ranking officials.

There are even all kinds of people!

Just looking at this span, it has to be said that Lingni Wuwei really put in a lot of effort!

Big plans!

"Hmph! Your Majesty, I believe that this bunch of ungrateful bastards deserve to be put to death!" Eunuch Cao slammed the table, furious.

Today, Da Yan has finally started to improve and is about to usher in a rare prosperous era, but those rebels are
How can I not be angry when he just wants to be a troublemaker and is going to waste all my efforts over the years?

"It doesn't matter! If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth! Now the enemy is in the open, and we are in the dark! I also have an idea..."

Li Kuan spoke slowly.

He had thought about this matter for a short while, and the chances of winning were pretty good!

After hearing this, Eunuch Cao was stunned, frowned, and said in deep thought:
"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit risky? It could easily put you in danger. How confident are you?"

In his heart!

Do not!
To be more precise, in everyone's mind, even if the entire northern border was lost, it would be impossible...
Will not let Li Kuan make any mistakes!
Now Li Kuan’s intention is very simple. He just wants to take over this mess, take the risk alone, and defend the Shuofang City.

It just happened to happen that we met, it can only be said to be a coincidence!
But this made Eunuch Cao somewhat worried, and the reason was very simple: the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun did not come with him on this official trip!
Because Yanyun City was not peaceful, Li Kuan was worried that something might happen to the Du family. Besides, they were just strolling in the territory of Dayan, so how could they encounter any danger?
Just let Yan Yi and others stay!

Without the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, we would be in a situation of having generals but no soldiers.

If we run to Shuofang and encounter any danger, it will be difficult to escape.

The northern border can be lost, but Your Majesty Li Kuan must not lose it!
"I'm 70% sure! It's not a big problem! They're just a bunch of Northern Mang barbarians, what's the big deal?" Li Kuan shrugged and smiled slightly, looking very relaxed.

Things are different now!

He is no longer the reckless young man who dared to charge into the enemy camp without regard for the consequences with only a hundred or so cavalrymen!
After getting married, there is a bond in the heart, and you will think twice before doing things, and you won’t be so rash!
actually!

Li Kuan was 80% to 90% sure, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, one can't be too sure, otherwise there will be some accidents in the future...
Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

"Only 70%..."

Eunuch Cao frowned.

This number is stuck at an awkward point, which makes people feel quite caught in a dilemma. However, from the current perspective, we can only give it a try.

The Northern Frontier is of great concern. Once it really falls into the hands of the enemy, the grassland and the northern desert will also fall one after another. By then, the Tang Dynasty is very likely to lose this huge northern region!
All the achievements made over the years have also been lost!
"Your Majesty, then we will do as you say! But if the situation is not right, you must lead your men to fight their way out. Don't try to be brave!"

Eunuch Cao reminded again and again.

"Okay, okay, you are so nagging! Am I the kind of person who thinks I'm dying?" Li Kuan waved his hand and said unhappily.

He is not a pushover, especially after the bond has formed. Without absolute certainty, he would not make such a choice.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world!
If you don't have the ability to serve the country and the people, then just stay at home and take care of yourself.
Then I must lend a hand!
"Okay, Your Majesty, let's get ready! I'll go pry open the mouths of those guys and ask them where the rebels' base is in Shuofang City. Then..."

Eunuch Cao was slowly speaking his mind, and Li Kuan would occasionally interject. The two began to discuss the matter. After all, it was a serious matter, so it would be best if they had a foolproof plan!
The final result is that the troops are divided into two groups!
Li Kuan led Pei Min, Lan Jiu and other people from Narcissus Residence, while Eunuch Cao led a team of 100 cavalrymen!
After all, His Majesty Li Kuan's identity is too sensitive and can easily be discovered by the enemy. Without alerting the enemy, he can only lie in wait and let Eunuch Cao lead a hundred cavalry to take the lead!
Anyway, all the dirty and tiring work was done by Eunuch Cao, so Li Kuan was happy to have some free time!
"Then it's settled! I'll go and interrogate him first! Your Majesty, do you want to go and see?" Eunuch Cao showed a ferocious smile on his face.

"Not interested! Go to sleep."

Li Kuan was too lazy to care about this matter. He stretched himself lazily, but then he thought of something and raised his lips slightly, saying:

"What are your interrogation methods? If the prisoner refuses to speak, won't you just beat him up? That's too rough!"

"Well, Your Majesty, we have our own way."

Eunuch Cao thought for a moment and exhaled, "Your Majesty, if only it were that simple! Interrogating a prisoner is a technical job!"

"Oh? I have something fun here, do you want to try it?" Li Kuan said with a smile.

"Hmm? Your Majesty, please tell me about it! I want to see it!" Eunuch Cao was very interested.

Li Kuan: …

His face darkened, and he lay down on the kang, crossed his legs, and said, "No more talking, go to sleep!"

Eunuch Cao's forehead was also covered with black lines, and he hurriedly said: "No, no! Your Majesty, you are not kind enough! You have whetted the appetite of your subordinates, and the result is..."

Let's play, let's make trouble!
He is well aware of His Majesty Li Kuan's abilities. Since he has brought it up, it must be a good thing!

However, Li Kuan ignored him and started snoring.
"Hu~hu~~"

……

Shuofang City.

A house in the west of the city, this is where the Lingwu Guards rested.

Tian Chi and his group had been missing for half a day. Longtou sent many people out to search, but still no results, which made him feel a little uneasy.

There were about a dozen people in the room, all of them had serious expressions and frowns, as if they were lost in thought.

The dragon head was not very old, probably in his early twenties, and looked quite imposing, but his eyes were rather fierce and he did not look like a good person.

His original name was Li Chengsi. He was the illegitimate son of Li Jiancheng and grew up among the common people, which is why he escaped the disaster.

Later, he was found by Tian Lao and his gang, and was elected as the young master, thus embarking on the road of vigorous rebellion!

In fact, this is also the reason why Li Shimin had to execute all his nephews after launching the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

The reason is that they are afraid that people with ulterior motives will use the tiger's skin as a banner to stir up some trouble. That would be enough to cause trouble. So they might as well put an end to it all and kill them all, so as to stop some people from plotting against their will!
Otherwise, who knows what chaos the Tang Dynasty would be in today!

"Dragon head!"

A man walked in hurriedly with a complaint, and the dozen or so people in the room all looked over there.

"How is it? Have you found his whereabouts?" Li Chengsi asked hurriedly.

"The brothers have searched most of Lenglong Ridge, but still can't find any clues! It's as if Mr. Tian and others have disappeared from the face of the earth."

The visitor reported.

"How is it possible? Dozens of living people, even if they were all dead, there should be some clues left behind, right?" said an old man with white hair and beard.

"You must have not looked carefully enough!"

Some people also shouted.

"What a waste!"

Everyone in the house started shouting!
After all, so many living people disappeared in broad daylight, right under their noses. This kind of thing is somewhat disturbing.

"Think about it carefully. Is it true that you didn't find anything at all?"

The oldest old man pondered.

This old man is called Yuan Yichuang. He was born in the Yuan family of the Guanlong Group. His status is also extremely prominent. He was one of the earliest people to join Li Jiancheng and was highly respected.

Later, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, he also escaped with the Lingwu Guard and became one of the few surviving elders.

"this…."

The man hesitated, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Li Chengsi shouted coldly.

What he hates most is procrastination, especially at this moment. What time is it already?

If he hadn't had to pay attention to his own image and any negative impact it might bring, he would have killed this useless subordinate long ago!

This is also due to the cruelty hidden in Li Chengsi's bones!
He is a man of hot temper. If he inherits the throne, he will definitely become a tyrant.

Seeing that the leader was angry, the man didn't dare to say more and could only quickly say: "We did find a clue! But it's a bit strange and hard to confirm."

He told everyone what he had discovered, which was actually just a few clues deliberately left by the Hundred Riders, pointing the finger at the depths of the Qilian Mountains.

It seems to be true but is not, just to confuse the enemy!

"Mr. Tian and the others went deep into the Qilian Mountains? How is that possible!" someone said in a deep voice.

"Something's wrong!"

“That’s strange…”

"If that little beast really ran away, it wouldn't be a big deal. Why would Tian Chi and his group chase after it?"

Everyone looked at each other, and then stared at each other for a few times, their eyes full of confusion.

The person who came to report was trembling with fear and didn't dare to say anything more!
After all, judging from the current clues, all the evidence points to the depths of the Qilian Mountains, and it is difficult to tell what the truth is at the moment.

The entire Qilian Mountains are too huge. Even if all the manpower was sent out to search, it would probably take three days and three nights to find some clues.

This is where things get weird!

According to common sense, as long as the roster in Pei Min's hand does not fall into the hands of the court, it is equivalent to a few pieces of waste paper.
It’s of no use!

Anyway, things have come to this point, so it won't be a problem if this little bastard runs in. Why would Mr. Tian still bring people in to chase him?

Weird!
Because the matter is of great importance and could easily lead to misunderstanding, he did not dare to speak carelessly just now!
At this moment, he just honestly told the clues he found without any exaggeration!
After a long while, Li Chengsi looked at an elegant old man and said, "Mr. Xin, how should this matter be handled?"

Old Xin, whose name is Xin Ling, has always been resourceful! He once planned to poison Li Shimin, but it was just a little short of success.
He was originally a trusted adviser to Li Jiancheng, and now serves as a military advisor in Lingni Wuwei.

"Just wait and see what happens!"

Xin Ling frowned, seeming a little unsure, and then said, "Now we have already put the arrow on the string, we have to shoot!"

"But you have to prepare for the worst! Recently, each of you should control your subordinates and don't cause trouble at this critical moment! Otherwise..."

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly, and a gloomy look appeared in his old eyes, just like a dormant poisonous snake, spitting out its tongue, making people shudder.

"Yes!"

"Mr. Xin, what you said is very mature! With you in charge, why should we worry about not accomplishing great things?"

"Hahaha! This time, I'm going to teach that brat Li Kuan a lesson!"

"Wait until we take over Yanyun City..."

They all started shouting, expressing their hatred towards Li Kuan!

This is normal!

If it weren't for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, all these people in the room would have become meritorious officials who followed the emperor, and their wives and children would have been given titles, promoted to higher positions and titles, and would have lived a very comfortable life!

And Li Kuan is another Li Shimin!

How could he have fallen into such a state, being displaced and even embarking on the path of treason?
……

Liang Mansion.

Since surrendering to Dayan, Liang Shidu has been living an uncomfortable life, but he knows in his heart that this is only superficial glory!

After all, which of those rebel kings who defected to Dayan could have a good ending?
Now the imperial court is unable to spare any effort. Once the time is ripe, how many days will Liang Shidu be able to live in peace?

Speaking of Liang Shidu, this guy is not a good person either!
The Liang family was also a powerful family in the county with a high reputation, so it didn’t take much effort for this guy to gather a group of people and rise up against the Sui Dynasty!

Rebellion is fine, heroes emerge in troubled times, and no one dares to gossip about it in history books, but the key is
This guy frequently led the Turkic troops to invade the south, and also accepted the wolf-head mask presented by the foreign race. He was named Datubiljia Khan and the Emperor of Jieshi by Shibi Khan.
