Chapter 545 Divorce (Part [-])
Li Chongjiu asked Lin Dangfeng: "In Chang'an, there is news about Li Shimin's plan to establish himself as emperor in Luoyang. How is it going?"

Lin Dangfeng said: "This matter is also going on, but half a month ago our secret operation in Chang'an was captured by the Tang army, and all of them were secretly taken to Dali Temple for torture. It is estimated that Li Tang knew that we were fanning the flames behind our backs. Wei Chen thinks this matter should be stopped for a while?"

Li Chongjiu said: "You don't have to stop. If you have done it, keep doing it. Tang Jun didn't catch our six secret works. We can even publicize that it is a bitter trick arranged by Li Shimin, open up for ourselves, and spread the rumors more widely, not only Spread the word among the officials and even among the people, making it known to everyone in Chang'an and putting pressure on Li Shimin."

Lin Dangfeng hesitated for a while, and said, "Li Yuan is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Shimin has someone to speak for him in the court. I think it will not be easy to hide this matter from Li Yuan."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Didn't you hear that three people became tigers? Some things, one person said, two people said, Li Yuan may not believe it, but if everyone is talking, so what about Li Yuan. Even if Li Yuan knows it, we are behind the scenes. , It doesn't matter, he really has to be so relieved of Li Shimin. If Li Yuan was really relieved of Li Shimin, he wouldn't have sent Li Yuanji as the deputy general to attack Luoyang this time, as a surveillance."

"Look, if things go on like this, Li Yuan won't be able to sit still, so will Li Jiancheng. Even Li Shimin himself will make mistakes if he is suspected. For example, this time, he led Wang Shichong to ambush Princess Pingyang. It's done seamlessly, but Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and others won't doubt it in their hearts? Even if he doesn't rebel, he will be forced to rebel. Conquer the world, but don't you have the heart to stand on your own?"

Lin Dangfeng said sincerely and sincerely: "Your Majesty, what a great idea. It would be great if the relationship between the four fathers and sons of Li Yuan can be divorced. Now they are already divorced, but the best way to divorce is to do it yourself. The middle strategy is to wait for the other party." When you make mistakes yourself, the best way is to help the other party make mistakes. Under the pressure of power and position, the relationship between father and son, brothers, is sometimes worse than that of friends."

Li Chongjiu shook his head and said: "It's always been like this in ancient times. If you want to succeed in a divorce plan, you have to make the best use of the situation. In ancient times, relatives and friends hate each other. Although there are differences, the methods are similar. They all use their own methods. To punish the other party for their mistakes. Li Shimin has made a mistake now, and now he is waiting for Li Yuan, and Li Jiancheng made a mistake."
Outside the Tang army camp in Luoyang.

The sound of Diao Dou was already heard. In the snowy night, soldiers of the Tang army were still guarding the barracks seriously, wearing iron clothes.

The heavy snowfall made the attack on Luoyang City have to be suspended. In fact, the Tang army also took Wang Shichong, a strong city, and there was not much to do.

Inside the camp of the Tang Army's Central Army.

Li Shimin's face was as heavy as iron, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Hou Junji and other confidants all discussed in the tent.

Hou Junji said: "The attack on Luoyang has now come to an end. Before Wang Shichong's army, there were thirteen generals who were willing to respond to our army, but the secret was leaked. Wang Shichong had already beheaded these 13 people. hang in the south of the city."

Changsun Wuji said angrily, "Wang Shichong is really lucky."

"No, good luck. Wang Shichong is a man who runs the army harshly and has a lot of means. It might be a bit difficult to defeat Luoyang City with internal forces like other cities," Hou Junji said.

Li Shimin, who had been looking at the city map of Luoyang, said: "How is Zhao Jun's movement, has he decided to aid Zheng?"

Changsun Wuji said: "I haven't heard of this yet. I heard that Li Chongjiu has decided to proclaim himself emperor in Youjing, so he may not come so soon to prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

Li Shimin threw the horsewhip on the map and said, "This is Li Chongjiu's intentional rumor to confuse us. What are you planning to ascend to the throne hall? Looking at Zhao Guo alone, I am afraid that the whole army has already been mobilized, and they are about to send troops south."

Hou Junji asked: "His Royal Highness Qin, I heard that Li Chongjiu has a deep affection for Her Highness the Princess, and even broke up with Her Majesty for the sake of the Princess. If we spread the word that Wang Shichong killed the Princess, will Li Chongjiu refuse to do his best to rescue Luoyang because of this? Woolen cloth?"

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "An ordinary person may have a grudge, but who is Li Chongjiu? Is it still unclear? Everyone who has achieved great things is denied by his relatives. You all think that Li Chongjiu broke with his father because of his third sister. In fact Come on, this person has turned his back a long time ago. He is not the type to depend on others, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky."

Hou Junji nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Then please forgive me for my slip of the tongue."

Du Ruhui smiled and said: "Perhaps this plan is not useless. Li Chongjiu may not care about it, but Wang Shichong may not understand Li Chongjiu as well as the King of Qin. Now Luoyang can stick to it. Firstly, the city is strong, and secondly, the defenders in the city firmly believe that before the Zhao Jun meeting Come for reinforcements, if this is the case, the two families will have a grudge, and Wang Shichong will doubt Li Chongjiu's determination to reinforce Luoyang, and maybe he can use this to force Zheng Jun to surrender."

Although Du Ruhui said so, he still sighed.How to say that Li Zhiwan is also Li Tang's princess, it is hard to say how to use the matter of Li Zhiwan to drive a wedge between Zheng and Zhao.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Du Keming is right, as long as Luoyang can be conquered, it doesn't matter if the reputation is lost, this matter will be left to Ziming."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, and said to everyone: "Actually, what Gu is most worried about is not how to capture Luoyang, nor is it Zhao Guo's reinforcements, but Chang'an."
The people in the tent were silent when they heard the words.

Fang Xuanling said: "Since ancient times, there is nothing more trustworthy than the emperor's trust when a general goes out to fight abroad. Otherwise, why would he say that the emperor's order is not accepted, but if it is because of the princess' matter that His Majesty has doubts about His Highness King Qin, it will be a loss." Without the trust between father and son, our army's attack on Luoyang will not last long, and once the order to transfer troops is issued, the hard work of the past few months will be in vain."
Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "It's not because of Li Chongjiu deliberately spreading rumors in Chang'an. This person is as cowardly as a mouse, he dare not fight to the death in a face-to-face confrontation just like His Royal Highness King Qin, but with such a superficial estrangement, he tried in vain to make our army retreat. "

Du Ruhui opened his mouth and said: "Although the strategy of alienation is very simple, it is very useful. Throughout Li Chongjiu's army, the strategy of using troops is no match for the average person, but his insidious tricks have emerged endlessly. Luo Yi, Dou Jiande, and Liu Heitai are all defeated. Under such circumstances, and this person makes plans and moves, one after another, King Qin is in the open, and he is in the dark. It is really difficult to guard against. No matter what, the key is to strengthen the trust of the emperor in His Highness King Qin. "

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said: "After Mr. Liu was executed by His Majesty for his involvement in Li's plot against him, we have lost one minister in the court who can help Austria, who can speak in front of the emperor. Not much more."

Li Shimin shook his head and said: "No, there is still one minister who has a good relationship with us, who can speak in front of the emperor."
