Although the losses were a bit large, Li Jiancheng finally occupied Shangluo City and "defeated" Li Qin once. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

That's not a good result, but it's not too bad either.

It's just that in the face of the empty Shangluo City, many people in the Tang army may still be jubilant, thinking that this is also a victory. But as the commander of this road of soldiers and horses, Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, frowned tightly.

"Happy what? Li Yuanhua, this guy completely threw Shangluo as Jiangdu to us. We think we have a plan, how can we get the trouble of Shangluo City? There are no people in Shangluo City, only one empty city remains, and if you want to restore it, it will take a lot of energy. Li Jiancheng frowned and sighed.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to worry too much. The ruins of Shangluo City were just minor troubles. If we can take Shangluo City from Li Qin and force him to retreat to Wuguan, it will be our greatest victory. With the merit of capturing Shangluo, we can also have a lot to say in front of King Qin. Wang Jue, a member of the middle house, opened his mouth to persuade Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng's face softened slightly, but he was still a little dissatisfied: "If you have a credit for winning an empty city, then this credit is too cheap." ”

"Then what is Your Highness going to do?" Wang Qi twisted the long beard under his chin and asked puzzledly.

"You said that we continue to attack Wuguan and take Wuguan down?" Li Jiancheng tentatively asked Wang Qi.

"This ...... I don't think so! Li Qin's guard here, the one named Li Jing is very strong. If it weren't for the fact that our military strength far surpassed him, I was afraid that we would ...... That's a good opponent. With him defending the martial arts, it is too difficult for us to take it directly. Wang Jue sighed.

"Is there no way to do it?" Li Jiancheng frowned tightly.

"I heard that this person is the nephew of Han Baohu, the former prince of Xinyi County, and now he is only a chariot under Li Qin, and he does not have any titles, which can be described as a favor. Why don't Your Highness make someone write a book and join Li Jing's command, and use his kindness to Chen Zhi, maybe we can win him over to join us. Feng Deyi on the side gave Li Jiancheng such an idea.

"The general of the cavalry is still thin?" Li Jiancheng's eyes widened.

"If you don't have a title, it's a thin position!" Feng Deyi said with great certainty: "Your Highness can do this quietly, and after you do it, you can publicize it with great fanfare." No one's men are monolithic.

I guess that as long as the news gets out, Li Jing will definitely have some trouble. Whether he is transferred or forced out of the city to fight us, it is a good thing for us. Of course, it would be better if he did come to us. ”

"You...... What a set after another! Li Jiancheng pointed to Feng Deyi and was overjoyed, and then he asked Wang Jue what he meant about this matter: "What do you think of this?" ”

"You can try!" Wang Qi pondered and replied: "It's just a letter, a lobbyist who can speak well." The output is far greater than the input, and this thing is fine! ”

"Then let's do it!" Li Jiancheng stroked his palms and laughed: "Let Uncle Fang go to this matter, he is brave and strategic, and he should not live up to my expectations." Is that right? Uncle! ”

As he spoke, Li Jiancheng turned his head and asked a military general about thirty years old who was sitting under him. I saw that his square face was wide, his thick eyebrows and big eyes, his high nose bridge, and his bronze face were angular and angular, as if he was a stone carving, and he had a rough and bold demeanor, which made people feel broken.

Li Jiancheng has a lot of strategists and generals, and there are many people who can speak well, but only Uncle Xie meets Li Jiancheng's current needs: he is his own cronies, and he is a high-level military general, easy to gain the trust of others, and can speak well, and more importantly, he has good martial arts and can break through from Wuguan.

"It's a good look. Just because of his appearance, I am afraid that it is easy to gain Li Jing's trust. Li Jiancheng thought so, and he stared at Xie Shufang with burning eyes.

And Xie Shufang did not disappoint him.

At that moment, he stood up and gave his hand to Li Jiancheng to receive the order: "Your Highness will leave this matter to me!" ”

"Good!" Li Jiancheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Wang Qi to write a letter, and he did not copy it himself, and according to Feng Deyi's suggestion, he pretended to make corrections in some key places and made it vague.

When all the props related to the intrigue were ready, Uncle Xie set off. He threw himself directly under Wuguan and said that he was Li Jing's old man.

Since the old man is visiting, Li Jing naturally wants to entertain him well.

Li Jing invited Uncle Xie to come up, and he was very surprised to meet him. When they met, he was accompanied by two young men under twenty years old.

Those were two good-looking young men, one out of the dust, the other brave and capable. They stood half a step behind Li Jing, and it seemed that they were Li Jing's cronies, nieces and brothers.

When Li Jing saw Xie Shufang, he was very sure that it was the first time he and he had met, and he naturally had some surprises in his heart about what he said about the old man.

However, he did not directly debunk Uncle Xie, but politely invited him to sit down and ordered someone to serve tea.

Xie Shufang said that he had a letter from Li Jing's uncle, which said that there was a very confidential matter, and asked Li Jing to step back.

Li Jing smiled at the moment: "Uncle's book is certainly confidential. But Xiaoling and Xiaozhong are my sworn brothers, and I have nothing to hide from them. ”

Li Jing said very resolutely.

Xie Shufang knew that it was impossible for him to change his mind, so he had no choice but to inform Li Jing of the so-called confidential words: "I am ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light, and serve the Tang Dynasty." Your Highness wishes to show you as the Governor of the Host and the Lord of the Kingdom. ”

"Oh? Abandon the darkness and turn to the light? Do you think my side is dark, and Li Tang's side is bright? Li Jing raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "It seems that my Da Wu is stronger now." ”

"Since ancient times, the north has unified the south, and I have never heard of the unification of the north from the south...... Although Dawu is strong, his foundation is unstable, and he finally won for a while, but he couldn't win for a lifetime. The general is a wise man, so he should have planned in advance. ”

Xie Shufang persuaded Li Jing, "Li Qin is a stingy man, and the generals Pinglin Shihong and Xiao Milling can be said to have made immortal achievements, but they still have not been rewarded with knighthood, which shows that Li Qin's temperament is narrow."

Now my Tang Dynasty has thousands of generals and millions of soldiers, and I can go east out of the Central Plains to reach the world, and I am more willing to treat the heroes with kings and dukes. ”

"Is the title really heavy?" Li Jing shook his head suspiciously: "My Great Wu controls the inheritance of the former Han!" I, the general of the chariot cavalry, am a high-ranking official at the level of the Three Princes. How can Your Majesty be unkind to me? ”

"Although the position of the rider is heavy, it cannot be passed on. Only the title is the right way to seal the shadow of a wife. Even in the former Han Dynasty, high-ranking officials with more than 2,000 stone had titles. At that time, there was such a saying that no lord and official must not last long. Xie Shufang shook his head again and again, sincerely persuading Li Jing.

"Oh? Is that really the case? Li Jing was a little surprised, and his words were somewhat moved.

He pondered silently for a while, and asked Uncle Xie in a low voice, "Is your palace's promise reliable?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is the prince, what is unreliable about his words. You see, there is also a handwritten letter handed to you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which speaks for itself. Xie Shufang said and handed the letter to Li Jing.

Li Jing took the letter and was about to open it, when he suddenly raised his eyes and saw the faint smile on the corner of Xie Shufang's mouth, he felt something, but he turned his hand and handed the letter to the brave and capable young man standing behind him: "Xiao Zhong, you read it to me." ”

"Oh!" The young man named Xiao Zhong answered, took the letter gently, quickly opened it, and immediately read it seriously.

With his thoughts, Uncle Xie easily understood that his actions today would definitely not achieve his goal.

Because the smearing in the letter is very obvious, the preface does not match the last sentence, you can see it at a glance, and the other party ignores it, which is obviously not because the other party's level is too poor, but because the other party deliberately does so.

"Damn...... Where did I get my feet out? Xie Shufang secretly reflected on this. He quietly lifted the true qi on his body, his steps were slightly wrong, and he was ready to flee quickly.

But as soon as he made some moves, he felt an ethereal momentum entangled around him lightly but delicately.

A sense of danger welled up in my mind.

Xie Shufang felt that he must not move anymore, because there is only one result of any more action, and that is death.

"How so? By this Li Jing's side, how could there be such a good player? What exactly do those spies do? I don't even know such important information. Xie Shufang scolded in his heart. But at this point, no matter how much he was dissatisfied, it would be useless.

Helpless, he could only sit and watch the situation he least wanted to see happen in front of him, and watch others act in front of his eyes.

Xiao Zhong was only halfway through his reading, and he didn't continue.

"What's going on? Why not read it? His Royal Highness the Prince of the Tang Dynasty is still quite good. I'm just going to hear about it. Li Jing squinted his eyes and asked lightly.

"Big brother, can't read the rest of this? The handwriting is smeared, and it's hard to read. Xiao Zhong frowned with a headache.

"Huh? How so? It's not that you can't read words, right? Li Jing was skeptical.

"How is that possible!" Xiao Zhong shook his head again and again, and then handed the letter to Li Jing: "Big brother, look...... This letter is like this, even if it is a fairy, it can't tell it. ”

Li Jing took the letter and looked at it, it was indeed like this, and he asked Uncle Xie in surprise at the moment: "Brother Shufang, what do you think is going on with this letter?" What the hell does this letter say? ”

"Didn't you already know about this kind of thing, why did you deliberately ask me that?" Xie Shufang knew that the other party was deliberately playing with himself, so naturally he didn't give Li Jing any good looks.

After all. Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!
