Chapter 460 Kill it!

Song Laosheng is an impassioned orator and an excellent theorist. In fact, the suggestions he put forward to the acting king Yang You are all very good. With [-] elite soldiers in his hands to block the way forward, Liu Hongji's soldiers and horses were able to attack Huoyi before it was too late.

Moreover, although Yang Guang appointed Yang Yu, king of Yue, as the supervisor of the state, the courtiers knew that Yang Tong was only eight years old, and his chances of succeeding to the throne were very low, at least lower than Yang You.So if Yang You sent someone to Dongdu to discuss with Yang Tong about recruiting Li Mi, the courtiers of Dongdu would not be able to ignore the issue of who would succeed him in the future, and the matter of recruiting Li Mi would definitely be on the agenda, especially Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu. Both of them are old foxes, so they naturally know that Chang'an cannot be lost, and they also know the great benefits of recruiting Li Mi.

If Song Laosheng's suggestion is implemented smoothly, Li Yuan's army may not be able to pose a threat to Chang'an.It's a pity that Song Laosheng is not an outstanding military strategist.He is an impetuous person and a person who is very successful. It is not unreasonable for Li Shimin to say that he is brave and foolish.

Outside Huoyi City, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng only brought dozens of cavalry to shout and shout. Seeing that it was Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng who came to call the battle in person, how could he not be moved?

When Li Yuan ordered Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to call for battle at the same time, Li Shimin's first thought was that this was his father trying to take credit for his son Li Jiancheng. After all, since the army started in Taiyuan, in just two months, the Li family's army was as powerful as a bamboo, and Li Shimin's military exploits were terrific. .But Li Jiancheng, who was in charge of the rear, didn't get any military merits. The second son Li Shimin's name is now very famous in the army. He is brave in battle, takes the lead in fighting, has many strategies, and is also personable.

For a while, his limelight had overshadowed the crown prince.

Therefore, it is not too much for Li Shimin to speculate that this is Li Yuan planning military exploits for Li Jiancheng, but the depression and anger in Li Shimin's heart dissipated quickly after he was born.Because soon he thought of another purpose of his father Li Yuan's arrangement, and it was the most important purpose.

Calling battle under Huoyi City, his weight as the second son is far less than that of Tang Gong's son.

If Song Laosheng saw that it was the second son of Tang Gong who was leading only a few dozen soldiers to scold him outside the city, he would probably order random arrows to drive him away.How could he not be moved if he saw his son Li Jiancheng leading dozens of entourages to scold him?What's more, the eldest son and the second son came together to lure Song Laosheng to fight, this weight is heavy enough.

As long as Li Yuan's two sons are captured alive, Li Yuan can be forced to retreat.

Therefore, Song Laosheng, who couldn't help being tempted, led the elite soldiers in the city to kill them, and then Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, who had been impassioned before, turned around and ran away.Song Laosheng chased after him, but was ambushed by Duan Zhixuan.He wanted to go back to Huoyi City again, but the gate of the city had already been taken by Li Yuan himself, and his son Li Jiancheng had already killed the top of the city.

In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat towards Chang'an with the remnant soldiers, and was intercepted by Liu Hongji who was ambushing here in advance. He personally fought against Liu Hongji and was defeated by Liu Hongji, who was poked off his horse by Liu Hongji and fell into the official road In the deep ditch on one side, Liu Hongji urged his horse to rush down the ditch, and then stabbed Song Laosheng to death.

Song Lao was alive and dead, the Li family army entered Huoyi, and the remnants of the Sui army and more than 1 people all surrendered. Li Yuan was naturally very happy to have such a large number of elite soldiers.

After only staying in Huoyi for two days, Li Yuan ordered the army to attack Chang'an!

Immediately, the city of Chang'an exploded. The courtiers were terrified, the people were panicked, and the hearts of the people were panicked.

The acting king Yang You was even more frightened, and hurriedly called a group of ministers to discuss.

"Who can save Chang'an, I ask His Majesty to make him the Duke of the State! Make him the Champion General!"

Yang You yelled loudly, and the previous discussions in the hall suddenly fell silent, but no one spoke. Although the title of the Duke of the State is very attractive, the temptation of the champion general with great real power is even greater. .But at this moment, who dares to stand up?

There were only 1 defenders in Chang'an, and Song Laosheng took half of them away, not only failed to stop Li Yuan, but sent Li Yuan a big gift for nothing, and more than [-] elite soldiers came to attack Chang'an as soon as they turned around.At this time, none of the courtiers who were usually boastful dared to talk nonsense.

"minister……"

The hall was really eerily quiet, so it was very clear when someone spoke.

"I recommend one person to keep Chang'an safe and secure!"

Zuo Guanglu doctor Yin Ping came out and said.

"Who!"

Yang You stood up and asked in surprise.

"The day before yesterday, I met a man on the street. This man was once a guest of Duke Chu's mansion. He was known for his talent. He was called the second Li together with Li Mi. He is really a rare talent. It's just that his conduct is a little improper. When I was in Duke Chu's mansion, I had an affair with a singing girl. I ran away because I was afraid of being punished by Duke Chu. Later, I lived in seclusion in the barren hills of Yuyang County. I really didn't expect that I met him in Chang'an City the day before yesterday. I was in Duke Chu's mansion. I was familiar with this person when I was young, so I have a deep impression on him. If His Highness recruits this person to serve, he will definitely be able to guard Chang'an!"

Dai Wang Yang You thought for a while and asked: "You mean, but Li Yaoshi?"

"It's this man!"

Yin Ping said: "This man has the talent of the world, and he can be of great use!"

"Gu also heard of this person!"

Yang Youxi said: "The Duke of Chu once said that this person will become the No.1 General of the Sui Dynasty in ten years' time! Now that he happens to be in Chang'an City, I have to say that it is God's will! Where does this person live now? I have to personally Go ask him to serve the country!"

"No, Your Highness!"

The censor Chu Xiaocai said loudly: "Not only is this person misbehaving, he is also a fugitive from the country. How can such a person lead the army? It is detrimental to the court's dignity!"

"Eclectic recruitment of talents!"

Yang You said loudly: "If this person can keep Chang'an, no matter what mistakes he has made in the past? You don't have to agree, come up with a charter for keeping Chang'an, use you alone, don't use him!"

Chu Xiaocai was suffocated, not knowing what to say.

……

……

Li Jing never thought that there would be a day when he would be reused by the court, but this day came so late, Li Shimin sent him to Chang'an to force Li Yuan to raise troops.After the matter was completed, he originally wanted to leave Chang'an, but then he thought that since he was here, why not take the opportunity to inquire about Chang'an's city defense.If he can find out the flaws in Chang'an City's defense, he will be considered a great merit, and Duke Tang will naturally not treat him badly.

So he left a few days later and scoured the city for news all day long.It's just that Song Laosheng was defeated and died so soon, the gates of Chang'an City were closed, and he couldn't get out of the city even if he wanted to.

What was even more unfortunate was that he ran into Yin Ping, an acquaintance who was in Duke Chu's mansion back then.

He wanted to pretend that they didn't know each other, but at the beginning, they were both disciples of Duke Chu and Yang Su's mansion, they were very familiar with each other, but many years later, Yin Ping was already a third-rank member of the imperial court, but he still hadn't accomplished anything.Yin Ping thought he was down and out, so he insisted on taking him back to his mansion.Li Jing had no choice but to follow Yin Ping back home.

He planned to leave after staying for a day, so as not to reveal his identity.But who would have thought that when Yin Ping went to the court early the next morning, he was blocked back just as he was about to leave a letter to say goodbye before he even left the gate, and it turned out to be His Royal Highness who stayed behind in Xijing!

Dai Wang personally asked him to be the general manager of Chang'an soldiers and horses, and his words were sincere.How could Li Jing agree, if Duke Tang and Li Yuan knew about this matter, even ten lives would not be enough for him to die.

It's just that Yang You really insisted, Li Jing had no choice but to pretend to agree first and then look for an opportunity to get out, so he agreed to help defend the city, but he refused to take the position of chief executive.

Since he agreed, it is not easy for Yang You to insist.Then he was named General Huya Lang, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and Jin Ziguanglu Doctor.

Li Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought how could this life experience be so annoying?

At the beginning, he devoted himself to serving the country to gain fame, but he was depressed. After so many years, he has been in a state of despair. Finally, he found a job in the Duke Tang's mansion. Who would have thought that the court would find him at this time, which almost caused him to die of sorrow. .

Living in the mansion specially rewarded to him by Yang You, Li Jing wished to bump his head to death.

Yin Ping was the first to send a heavy congratulatory gift, and Yang You sent him another 200 servants and maids, treated like a prince, and even gave him a set of silver armor with his own hands, which made Li Jing feel moved .

On that day, Yin Ping drank wine in Li Jing's residence to celebrate him.

"Pharmacist, what do you think of your sad face? After ten years of obscurity, you flew up to a branch. Such a good fortune, you can be said to be No. 1 since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. It is Luo Yi, the chief executive of Youzhou, who compares to you. , it’s going to be far behind.”

"The situation in Chang'an, you make me happy?"

Li Jing took a sip of his wine, pointed outside and said, "Outside the city is Tang Gong Li Yuan's 10,000+ rebels, and the rebels have won consecutive battles. It's the time when the morale is like a rainbow. In the city, there are less than [-] soldiers. What's the matter with this battle?" beat?"

"Pharmacist, if others don't understand you, I still don't understand you?"

Yin Pingdao: "When I was in Duke Chu's mansion, I said that sooner or later your talent and learning will skyrocket, Pharmacist. Now that this opportunity comes, how can you give up easily? The Chang'an crisis is true, Li Yuan's It’s true that the rebel army is unstoppable, and it’s true that the city is short of major generals, but your talents and learning, Pharmacist, are even more true!”

Yin Ping persuaded solemnly: "Think about it, a man was born in troubled times and stands in a dangerous situation. It's nothing to follow the tide. If he can turn the tide, what will it look like? It will definitely be remembered in history!"

He said that he was a little excited: "The more dangerous the situation is, the more you will have the opportunity to become famous in the world. In such a dangerous situation, if you can keep Chang'an and defeat Li thief, how high will your prestige be? hold military power
