Chapter 279: Vital Injury
Three days later, thousands of carts accompanied by nearly 70,000 forbidden troops finally arrived at the hunting ground in Xingyang.
In the Han Dynasty, Xingyang was originally the largest Tongdu Dayi in the world, although it was a county seat, but there were more than 100,000 households in the territory, and it was a first-class county in the world.
It's a pity that after the rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty, the vitality of this place was greatly damaged. After that, Zhou Qi competed for power, and even more smashed the surroundings of Luoyang.
After the unification of the north, this dignified Xingyang has less than 10,000 household registrations. After that, the two generations of Zhou and Sui continued to immigrate to Henan County, but they failed to recover.
Although the county has been changed to a county, the household registration is less than 30,000.
Therefore, the royal family of the Great Sui Dynasty was able to draw a large piece of land here as a hunting ground for the Son of Heaven to hunt.
Li Shimin spent the past three days being lazy and upright, he stayed in the carriage during the day to continue to recuperate, and at night he continued to contact the 'Qiankun Thunder Spear', and at the same time adapted to his newly acquired king-level ink armor 'Heavenly Thunder Haoying'. Harnessing the Heavenly Thunder Haoying's ink armor to practice spearmanship can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, and neither side will be delayed.
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't say anything more about his behavior of not caring about anything in the past few days.
First of all, Li Shimin is indeed injured, although the eight-turn Taiyi Golden Pill is a healing elixir, it is impossible to swallow a pill, and all the injuries will be cured, and there must be a period of recuperation to recover his vitality.
And this time, Li Shimin fell into a serious injury and fainted, but it was for the sake of their great cause. Especially the eldest grandson Shunde, if it weren't for Li Shimin's hard work this time, he would have to be the first two paragraphs.
-- This is his cousin! So he can't help but admit Li Shimin's favor. must also take responsibility when Li Shimin is recuperating,
At this time, not only the eldest grandson Wuji, but also the Great Cause Hall from top to bottom, did not have any complaints about this. During this period, they did everything they could to do their own things well and tried not to trouble their immediate bosses.
So in the past three days, although Li Shimin is not a director, the military horses under his command still perform well.
Especially after adapting to the march, they gradually showed their elite temperament.
But when he arrived at the hunting ground, Li Shimin couldn't be idle anymore.
Although his current vitality has not fully recovered, the next two days are extremely critical, and he must arrange it himself to rest assured.
Especially on the side of the three emperors and grandsons, there is no room for a little negligence.
"Virusha, do you feel that there is something wrong with the atmosphere in the army?"
At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also noticed that the situation was different. Slightly strange, he looked at the tent of the Son of Heaven.
I saw that over there, there was a large group of embroidered guards, patrolling near the imperial tent. All of them are in a state of full armament, and they look very vigilant.
On their side, the situation is similar. A full 200 embroidered guards were added to guard the safety of the three emperors and grandchildren, and they were patrolling day and night.
And this situation has been started since two days ago -
But today it seems to have intensified, the eldest grandson Wuji found that not far away, there were several magicians wearing purple gauze and brown veils and lotus crowns, and they were working together to survey the terrain.
Purple gauze and brown veil, lotus crown - this is the clothing that can only be worn by the true monarchs of the imperial court. And those who can get the title of True Monarch are all cultivated to a first-grade level, or even a super-grade rank, close to the existence of land immortals.
"This is supposed to be a magic circle, right?
These situations in the army really can't help but make people make some associations.
In the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, this is too strange. I don't know what happened, so that the Son of Heaven and the embroidered guards are like great enemies.
It is said that near this hunting ground at this time, heavy troops gathered, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and more than ten super strong people guarded it. It is a first-grade True Monarch Sorcerer, and there are nearly twenty people. No one in this world can threaten the Son of Heaven here.
"Brother Wuji, you didn't find out until now?"
Li Shimin smiled slightly, although he spent most of his time in the carriage in the past few days, he still paid attention to the situation outside.
In fact, as early as two and a half days ago, he had already received a message from his father, Li Yuan. And not long after that, the embroidered guards had already strengthened the vigilance around the perimeter. Then on the Luoyang side, there were also constantly masters rushing to arrive.
At this time, the ministers and the forbidden troops of various ministries involved in the winter hunt had no other abnormalities on the surface, but in fact, they were already in a state of loosening and tightening.
"Although I don't know why, but you and I can't be careless. ”
Li Shimin said as he looked at the tent of Yan King Yang Qi: "All in all, the arrangements I made just now are by no means superfluous. No matter how difficult it is, it must be strictly enforced. ”
When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, his expression was also very solemn.
The things that Li Shimin ordered were indeed very troublesome, and they aroused many voices of opposition.
For example, the patrols and guards are so dense that your scalp is swollen, you have to wear all your armor and wait for you when you sleep at night, and you have to dig deep trenches around it, all of which are confusing.
Li Shimin's orders, even if they were placed on the battlefield, were excessive.
But there were no strong enemies around them, and there were tens of thousands of troops guarding the perimeter of the hunting ground, and the secret agents of the forbidden army sentry and embroidered guards were even denser in the surrounding hundreds of miles.
Therefore, many generals in the army cannot understand this.
The eldest grandson, Wuji, was also originally opposed, believing that it would only make their subordinates consume more physical strength and breed resentment.
After all, at this time, all the forbidden army departments were already in a state of relaxation. It's just that they are different, and after a few days of marching, they have to accompany their own superiors to do these useless things.
But in retrospect, this is not necessarily superfluous.
"I'll try to keep an eye on it!"
After the eldest grandson Wuji sighed lightly, he also glanced at Li Shimin: "Don't be lazy." ”
In the case that the people below generally don't understand, and the resentment is boiling, even the elite army that has been brought old by them will have the problem of execution.
What's more, now, most of the soldiers of the Great Cause Hall and Xuanjiadu belonged to the two of them not long ago. It is indeed a question how many points these people will carry out Li Shimin's military orders,
At this time, it is necessary for those of them who are bosses to take the trouble to check, guide and persecute them.
Li Shimin smiled slightly and continued to look at the direction of the Son of Heaven's imperial tent.
Just now, he saw his father Li Yuan walk in. I don't know what kind of situation is in it now?
"I know that you gave this credit to Tang Guogong because you don't have enough qualifications now, and you can't be promoted again, and it's useless to have merit. But I still don't understand, why did you let your father arrest him so early?"
Li Shimin was taken aback, he looked back left and right, only to find that the eldest grandson Wuji was no longer there, and Zhang Yurou didn't know when he arrived at his side, and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that if you want to learn from Uncle Zheng to connive at Gongshu Duan, you must first take it with you? But why did you destroy King Qi's plan in advance?"
As she spoke, she glanced around: "I think now, he will never have the courage to make a move, this is not possible at all, right?"
With the battle that the Son of Heaven came up with now, she felt that no matter what kind of plan King Qi had, the possibility of success was very small.
"Doing it near Banzhu is for Qin Qiong and them to get away with their crimes. Zhang Xutuo's body is related to the lives of millions of people in Shandong, and I can't involve them for my own selfishness. ”
Li Shimin shook his head: "Things have come to this point, do you think Yang Jin, the king of Qi, can still stop? There is a saying that the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent." ”
Zhang Yurou disagreed: "As long as he can break his wrist and clean the tail of his hand, he can still get out, after all, everything that is happening now has nothing to do with him on the surface." ”
"Then he loses the trust of the Son of Heaven, and he will be guarded by the Heavenly Family for the rest of his life? How can he be sure that after King Yan ascends the throne in the future, he will not settle accounts after the autumn?"
The corners of Li Shimin's lips were slightly raised: "What's more, his so-called 'allies' will not allow him to stop now." What's more, at present, this one is not without a chance. ”
Zhang Yurou couldn't help but let out a 'hitch' when she heard this, and looked at Li Shimin fixedly

"That bastard, haven't you spoken yet?"
In the luxurious and vast imperial tent, Yang Guanggao was on the throne, looking down at the many ministers below with dissatisfaction.
At this time, the five nobles in the court, Su Wei, Yu Wenshu, Pei Ju, Yu Shiji, Pei Yun and others, are all listed, and there are also Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang, the general of Zuo Yiwei, Xue Shixiong, the general of Zuo Yuwei, Dong Chun, the general of Zuo Beishen, and Liu Yan and others, all of whom are the cronies of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty!"
Liu Qi hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt in front of Yang Guang: "Han Zhang, this fang, is not a loyal person. Two days earlier, the man had been about to speak. However, the mastermind behind the scenes was extremely cautious, and there was a forbidden law in Han Zhang's spiritual mind, and once this person revealed the secret, he would definitely die suddenly on the spot. Fortunately, there were high-ranking people around the minister to help him, and he noticed it in advance, so he didn't succeed. Now the minister has ordered someone to break this curse, and the result will be known after three days at most. ”
When Wang Chonggu next to the throne heard this, he immediately frowned, and turned to the side to face the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, Si Litai's ability is limited, it is better to hand over Han Zhang to Xiuyiwei for interrogation, and the minister will definitely be able to make him speak as soon as possible." ”
Seeing this, Liu Yan was not in a hurry, only sneered: "Your Majesty, the person who is now breaking this spell for Weichen is the Emperor Yu Zhang, the true monarch of the enlightened Guangfa." ”
Wang Chonggu suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and the enlightened Guangfa True Monarch Yu Zhang was a disciple of Li Yuanlang, the great master of the Luliang faction. Although his cultivation is only one product, he is especially good at spells.
Since even this person said that it would take three days, no matter how hard they worked, they were afraid that they would not be able to advance much.
