When Kou Zhong's strange soldiers rushed out of the tunnel and caused a huge panic on the ground, although Li Xiaogong, who was in charge of guarding the imperial city, was also extremely shocked, but this young general was worthy of being the second disciple of Li Tang who could fight well after Li Shimin, so after the initial shock, Li Xiaogong immediately began to deploy troops, wanting to encircle and block this strange army that came out of nowhere, and then annihilate them all.

However, at this time, the opponent he faced was Kou Zhong, who had always been unbridled in tactics and eclectic, and when the surprise attack appeared, Kou Zhong had already occupied the advantage of Tianshi, so that at the beginning, although Li Xiaogong continued to transfer your troops, he was still defeated by the troops led by Kou Zhong, and the defeated soldiers retreated one after another, and Kou Zhong saw this scene, but suddenly had an idea, and ordered his army to divide dozens of units to follow behind the defeated soldiers, Use the power of the defenders of the Imperial City to break down their own defenses.

Under Kou Zhong's heavy impact, the defenders' defense line was crumbling, and they were almost broken through by Kou Zhong in one fell swoop, and then killed Li Yuan where Li Yuan was at this time, and then threatened Li Yuan's life.

Seeing that the Tang army, which had an absolute advantage in strength, was defeated and retreated by the other party, Li Xiaogong was also angry, and when he finally learned that the general who led the troops to attack the imperial city was actually Kou Zhong, the leader of the Jiangnan coalition army at this time, Li Xiaogong, who knew that Kou Zhong's military ability was powerful, couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart, so, in order to completely block Kou Zhong, Li Xiaogong left the side of Tang Emperor Li Yuan, and personally rushed to the front of the battle, commanding the army to fight with Kou Zhong.

In fact, there has been a grudge between Kou Zhong and Li Xiaogong for a long time, and don't forget that the general of the Tang Army who led the army to capture the coastal areas of Shandong and Jianghuai occupied by Kou Zhong was Li Xiaogong. After several bloody battles, the two sides have already formed a deep grudge! And in addition to this aspect of hatred, Kou Zhong also thought more about avenging him and Xu Ziling's father Du Fuwei.

Yes, in Kou Zhong's opinion. Du Fuwei is the elder he regards as his father, even if in fact Du Fuwei is actually extremely menstruating, only more than ten years older than Kou Zhong, this is the case, and speaking of which, this is indeed a quirk of the Jianghuai overlord before his death, that is, he likes to recognize others as his own sons, regardless of his actual age, he can only be the other party's brother. However, Du Fuwei is a generation of heroes. Although he is decisive in killing and acting arbitrarily in many cases, he is extremely concerned about his righteous sons, and therefore, such as Wang Xiongdan, Kan Ling and others, they all support and love this righteous father very much.

The former Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also fell into Du Fuwei's eyes because of this, and Du Fuwei insisted that the two of them be their righteous sons, but they couldn't stand Du Fuwei's enthusiasm at that time. In addition, their status at that time was low, and their martial arts were also extremely bad. Therefore, he suspected that Du Fuwei had ulterior motives, and in the end he did not agree, but chose to escape, time passed, and when the two finally emerged in the world, both of them gradually recognized the identity of Du Fuwei's father-in-law from the bottom of their hearts. And because of this. When Wu King Du Fuwei was unjustly killed by Li Yuan, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were not only extremely angry with Li Yuan, but also hated Li Xiaogong, the culprit who prompted Du Fuwei's unjust death.

Having said that, the reason why Li Shimin was able to form an alliance with Kou Zhong. Wu Wang Du Fuwei has to talk about a great role in it, it turns out that since ancient times, heroes cherish heroes, and Du Fuwei and Li Shimin are just such people, not to mention, just from their treatment of subordinate generals, it can be seen that in this way, when Li Shimin and Du Fuwei met in Chang'an, the two quickly became close because of some similar personalities and styles of action.

Du Fuwei admired Li Shimin very much, not only because although Li Shimin was younger than him in age, he was already invincible, and actually unified the entire north for the entire Tang Dynasty. More importantly, Li Shimin was born in the royal family, but he was able to condescend to the noble and sincerely befriend the reckless hero, and this is the ability that Du Fuwei, who was born as a reckless hero, can never learn in his life. Because of this, Du Fuwei was so pleased and convinced of Li Shimin, so he wrote many letters to persuade Kou Zhong to surrender and not to be hostile to Li Shimin.

The reason why Du Fuwei did this was of course because Li Tang was powerful at this time, and there was a peerless genius general like Li Shimin in charge, so the probability of victory of the Jiangnan coalition army was extremely low, so Du Fuwei's approach was actually also considered by Kou Zhong, but being able to consider this kind of consideration also clearly showed Du Fuwei's extremely appreciative attitude towards Li Shimin.

However, this is such Du Fuwei, but only because his wealth caused the greed of Li Tang's clan general Li Xiaogong, and was framed for rebellion, after Fu Gongyou's rebellion was put down, Li Yuan took the opportunity to poison Du Fuwei to death, even if Li Shimin's intervention and intercession were to no avail, and in this matter, because Li Xiaogong first became greedy, and then framed others, so in the end, Li Xiaogong was difficult to ride a tiger, and had to part ways with Li Shimin, completely became a passerby, you know, at the beginning, This wise and brave general who was second only to Li Shimin in Li Tang's clan at this time was also cultivated in Li Shimin's hands, however, due to his own greed, he not only killed the innocent Wu King Du Fuwei in the end, but also became a stranger to Li Shimin from then on, and at this time he became the enemy of the opposite.

As the so-called enemies saw each other and were very angry, Kou Zhong's heart was full of anger, and he wanted to avenge his father Du Fuwei and the brothers who died in the war that broke out on his territory, and his brother Xu Ziling, who was by his side at this time, was also thinking like this, so Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling immediately led the army to launch the most fierce attack on Li Xiaogong, and almost forgot their original plan, in fact, it was just a feint to attract the attention of the city for Li Shimin's beheading tactics......

In this way, due to Li Shimin's sudden attack, he captured Tang Emperor Li Yuan in one fell swoop, thus occupying the center of the entire Tang Dynasty, however, due to Li Yuan's non-cooperation, Li Xiaogong, who was responsible for the entire imperial city guard, was still able to sit on the superior strength of the imperial city defenders and confront Li Shimin and Kou Zhong's team. And not dare to act rashly.

However, if this situation continues, it will be more and more unfavorable to Li Shimin, because the longer it drags on, the more likely the changes in the palace will be known to people outside the city, and at this moment, the crown prince and the king of Qi are not in the imperial city. Therefore, once they learned of the changes in the imperial city at this time, they would inevitably mobilize troops from outside the city and start attacking the imperial city, and seeing the situation in the imperial city at this time, Li Shimin's scarce and scattered manpower must definitely not be able to resist the attack of the prince and others, in this case, the delicate situation that was finally achieved at this time will immediately fall short, and Li Shimin will definitely have no chance of winning.

Therefore, Li Shimin must be in a very short time. When everyone was unaware, he took immediate action to remove the crown prince and the king of Qi, who were extremely threatening to him outside the imperial city, and only in this way could he turn the tide from the danger at this time.

Fortunately, Li Shimin had already considered this early, so when he launched the coup d'état, he had already falsely accused the crown prince and the king of Qi the day before the coup. And Li Yuan summoned the two of them into the palace today to defend himself, and this Li Shimin created a zào opportunity for himself. Naturally, he would never let it go, so although there was a shortage of manpower at this time, and Li Yuan's safety was extremely important, Li Shimin still led the team by himself and rushed back to Xuanwumen in person. Set up an ambush on the road that the prince and the king of Qi must pass to enter the palace, waiting for them to fall into the net.

"Be careful!" When Li Shimin left, Shi Qingyi told him. And Li Shimin just nodded: "You are the same!" He said. Then, just like that, he left straight away, and at this time he was in the palace where Li Yuan was imprisoned. In addition to Li Shimin's hundred guards, there were only some palace maids and eunuchs who often served Li Yuan's life, and Li Yuan's concubines, the total number was only a dozen, and they all gathered around Li Yuan, looking at Li Shimin's subordinates who were around them and holding sharp blades, and their eyes were full of fear.

Among Li Yuan's beloved concubines, Zhang Jieyu has long been frightened, and the six gods have no master; However, she also knew the danger at this moment, so although she was terrified in her heart, she kept restraint and did not scream, in contrast, Yin Defei was much calmer on the surface, but in her eyes, a trace of vicious expression flashed from time to time, this look, Yin Defei thought she was well hidden, but she would not have thought that her every move had already been noticed by Shi Qingyi, and seeing Yin Defei's self-righteous expression, the corners of Shi Qingyi's mouth unconsciously pulled out a sneer.

Then, it is Emperor Yuwen Imperial Concubine, this Imperial Concubine Yuwen has lived with Li Yuan for a long time, and has always treated Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi as their own children, so in the face of such an elder, Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi have always respected each other from the heart.

In all fairness, as a woman of the Li family, the ability and wisdom of this Yuwen Emperor Concubine are not as good as the former Mrs. Dou and Old Mrs. Dugu, however, in the past, under the influence of the two ladies for many years, it also made this Yuwen Emperor Concubine's insight far beyond that of mortals, so when she saw Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi breaking into the palace where Li Yuan was located with cold and murderous faces, Emperor Yuwen already knew that Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi were going to launch a coup d'état!

For the unfair treatment suffered by Li Shimin, the king of Qin, Yuwen Emperor Concubine is not unaware, in fact, many times, she is secretly silently defending Li Shimin, the child in her eyes, however, as a woman in the harem, although Yuwen Emperor Concubine has a noble status, but in fact, she has no actual rights, and therefore, in the vast majority of the time, although Yuwen Emperor Concubine saw Li Shimin endure humiliation, she could only watch, And it can't help Li Shimin in any way.

The rebellion launched by Li Shimin this time, in fact, Emperor Yuwen and Concubine Yuwen had already expected it, after all, Li Shimin was such an upright child, he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of humiliation, and what he had encountered before was the most unbearable thing for him, so when Li Shimin really chose to rebel at this time, Emperor Yuwen did not hate him, on the contrary, when she saw that Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi were safe and sound, she was greatly relieved.

Therefore, when faced with the arrangement between Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi, she obediently obeyed without making any resistance, and Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi faced this always amiable elder, naturally, she would never be wronged, in fact, Emperor Yuwen was the only one among the captives at this time who could enter and exit freely accompanied by several Qin Wangfu guards, but although she received special treatment from Li Shimin and Shi Qingyi, Emperor Yuwen still just obediently stayed in the crowd of all the captives, And there is no other action.
