Chapter 720 Six Strategies for Chaos ([-])

The shock caused to people was too great when the military guards in Chang'an City made a big move.The assassination of King Yan, the assassination of the Emperor, the death of the Taihuang, each of these news can make everyone in Chang'an City panic and uneasy, and even shake the whole world.

Although the number of people arrested and killed in the city by the officers of the Military Inspection Office that day is a mystery, everyone has more or less a guess.And this time, almost all the members of the Military Inspection Office were dispatched again, making all the officials in the city a little terrified.Fortunately, the action of the Military Inspection Office this time is not to arrest people and kill people, but to protect them.

When the news spread that the leader of the assassins was under the law at the military inspection office, the military inspection guards deployed all over the city also began to collect their nets to arrest people.

With the cooperation of Dali Temple Criminal Minister Anfu and even the military, the search and arrest was carried out throughout the city.It's just that this time the raid was not as fanfare as the previous one, and it was all carried out in secret. Ordinary people may not have smelled the tension in the city at all.

Li Piaofeng died, and among the hundreds of assassins he brought into Chang'an City, even if some of them could escape the raid, who would dare to come out again?

On the day of Li Piaofeng's death, an assassination incident also occurred in the camp of King Qin's army outside Xiangyang City.

It was Han Shie, the marching chief of Qin Wangjun who was assassinated.

The assassin is very skilled and fearless of death, but there are too many guards around Han Shie. The assassin approaches Han Shie in the barracks and violently hurts people.Although Han Shi'e was cut with one knife, he was chopped to death by soldiers swarming around him before he could make a second knife.The corpses were all turned into pulp, and there was no way to ascertain their identities.As a result, there are several speculations about who sent people to assassinate Han Shie in the army, and some people are even cryptic. Could it be that His Highness King Qin sent someone to do it?

In the past two days, the conflict between Han Shie and King Qin seems to have gradually become prominent.

Han Shie advocated withdrawing troops, but His Royal Highness King Qin advocated continuing to attack Xiangyang City.The two even quarreled in King Qin's big tent, and King Qin dropped his cup in anger, and Han Shie walked away in anger.The assassination happened less than half a day later, which has to make people speculate.

A country can be unified but there is no unity within any one regime.Likewise, there is no absolute unity in any army.Even if there is a powerful marshal in charge, it is still difficult to prevent the generals below from forming gangs.Han Shie has made great contributions to Li Shimin. It can be said that without Han Shie, Li Shimin would not be where he is today.It was precisely because of this that many people stood by Han Shie's side.

It is no exaggeration to say that Han Shie's position in the hearts of these generals is definitely more important than Li Shimin's.On the contrary, most of the subordinates who supported Li Shimin, except for the remaining soldiers of the Tang army at the beginning, came to join him later when they saw his power.

Those who support Li Shimin are betting that Li Shimin can achieve great things.

And those who support Han Shie are all Han Shie's cronies.So there was a conflict. Although there was nothing to see on weekdays, it was a torrent of undercurrents in private.People from the Li faction and the people from the Han faction live in peace on the surface, but in fact, no one is pleasing to the eye.Han Shie took the greatest credit and Li Shimin didn't dare to move him, otherwise the King Qin's army would definitely mutiny.And Han Shie has been very loyal until the day before when he had a quarrel with Li Shimin, and he acted in a courteous manner, but even in the quarrel, Han Shie did not use a single disrespectful word.

Those sent by the family are waiting for the opportunity.They all want to replace Han Shiye and want to see Han Shiye pushed out.Only in this way can these people occupy more rights in the army.

So the news of the estrangement between King Qin and General Han quickly spread in the army, even if it couldn't be stopped.There is no doubt that this is not a good thing for Li Shimin.

Especially after Han Shie was assassinated.

In Han Shie's military tent, more than a dozen generals of the Han faction gathered together.They looked at Han Shie who was resting on the bed, and everyone's face was ugly.

"General!"

General Lang Cui Mo suppressed his anger and said: "This matter is definitely not that simple. How could an assassin sneak in easily in an important place in the army? King Yan sent someone to investigate Keke for two days, but there was no result. In the end, there was no way to kill the assassin. Pushing things over to Yan Yunjun... what is this?"

"Yes!"

General Lang Li Xi also said angrily: "The general is always patient and serves the king of Qin as a servant, but what about the king of Qin? The king of Qin hasn't come to see the general two days after he was injured!"

"Don't talk nonsense."

Han Shie waved his hand, touched the wound on his shoulder, and then frowned: "I was injured, and all matters in the army must be decided by His Royal Highness Qin Wang himself. Now it is the critical time to attack Xiangyang. Don't speculate about anything with a villain's heart. "

"It's not us villains!"

Li Xidao: "Some people are too villainous!"

"To shut up!"

Han Shie said angrily: "Don't talk about this matter any more, it will affect the morale of the army, don't you guys know the consequences?"

"General...this battle can no longer be fought."

Han Sui glanced at everyone and said in a low voice: "The news reported by the scouts just now, although the process was delayed by a strong wind the day before, Xiao Mian's reinforcements are less than a hundred miles away from Xiangyang! Can come back in time! With the morale of the army today, how could it be possible to defeat the nearly 20 Liang army?"

"I'll talk to King Yan again."

Han Shie sighed and struggled to get up and said: "The team I managed to pull together can't just be buried here like this. There is nothing wrong with attacking Xiangyang, but no one expected that Liang Jun would be so difficult to fight. King Qin is right, don't go out in the future Talking nonsense. If King Qin finds out... I can't protect you either."

"The army was pulled up by the general, so why is it that he, surnamed Li, decides everything?"

Standing at the door, Lang Jiang Pei Jingping suddenly said something in a cold voice. The voice was not low, which immediately changed the expressions of everyone in the room, but soon everyone became excited.

"That is, why should a man who is a great general let others enjoy his success?"

"It's just a waste of repeated failures. If there is no general, how can he have today? Now, what is the revenge? Why is his surname Li the real son? The people in Chang'an City are not his Longxi Li family anymore. What are you still pretending to be here!"

"Shut up!"

Han Shi'e trembled with anger and said: "Pei Jingping, go and get the twenty army sticks yourself! Anyone who makes false comments about King Qin's right and wrong will be dealt with by military law!"

"General!"

Everyone clasped their fists to ask Pei Jingping to beg Han Shie for mercy, but they waved their hands and turned their faces away.Everyone had no choice but to salute and say goodbye.

……

……

Qin Wang Li Shimin big tent

Although Yu Chigong was guarding the door every night, Li Shimin still didn't sleep well these two days.The people in those nightmares have never appeared again, but there are too many things in his heart, how can he sleep soundly?At this time, Li Shimin's face was hard to see through, exhausted and haggard.

"My lord...let's rest for a while."

Zhang Shun, his confidant general, said softly, "No matter how many military affairs there are, no matter how heavy the body is."

"Gu knows that after dealing with the few matters at hand, I will go to see Han Shie... I have been busy for two days."

Li Shimin put down the pen in his hand, and the worry in his brow became more and more serious.

"Yuchi...how is the assassin's investigation going?"

"The assassin is a veteran... one of the three hundred veterans who followed the lord into the mountain... After much deliberation, I can only speculate that this person is the Yan Yunjun who was placed next to the lord. He wanted to assassinate Han Shie obviously to avenge the people in the Military Inspection Department."

"will not!"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "If he is really Yan Yunjun's secret spy...how could he come out so easily after hiding for so long? He didn't expose it when Gu took Li Piaofeng back then, and it's useless to expose it at this time .To say that he took revenge on those secret spies...this is too far-fetched."

"I can't think of any other reason."

Yuchi bowed his head respectfully and said.

"perhaps……"

Zhao Wu, Li Shimin's counselor, glanced at Li Shimin's face and lowered his voice, "Perhaps...the assassin's intention to kill Han Shi'e has nothing to do with Yan Yunjun...I feel that the assassin's purpose is to sow discord."

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't reprimand him, he continued: "My lord just had an argument with General Han, isn't it a bit of a coincidence that an assassin assassinated General Han immediately in the afternoon?"

Li Shimin's face changed slightly, then he stood up and said, "Go and see General Han now."

Because that day Han Shie argued too fiercely with him, how could Han Shie not be angry when he even said that he was stubborn?So I haven't seen Han Shie for the past two days. At this moment, after hearing Zhao Wu's analysis, he immediately realized that he had made a big mistake.If the assassin's intention was really to sow discord, then he would undoubtedly have helped the assassin again by not visiting Han Shie for two days.

Confused!

Li Shimin scolded himself in his heart.

"My lord... Not only do you want to see, but you also need to make enough gestures to see."

Zhao Wu lowered his head and said, "Let the people below know that there is no misunderstanding with General Han..."

"I understand!"

Li Shimin nodded with a deep expression on his face.

……

……

Before going to visit Han Shie, Li Shimin specially called the generals to hold a meeting.In front of everyone, he sighed and said that it was his fault that he was negligent so that Han Shie was injured.He also said that when he heard that Han Shie was assassinated, he was so impatient and angry that he couldn't get out of bed for two days...

It's just that although this is said in a high-sounding manner, who is a fool among the following generals?

If you really care about Han Shie so much, how could Li Shimin call the generals first instead of visiting the wounded?

But there is no doubt that Li Shimin's gesture is still to let his subordinates
