Chapter 305: Failure and Failure
"It's true!"
Chen Taiwei finally nodded this time, but he still changed his voice next: "But the matter has come to this, what can I do? You still have to persuade your lord, it is best to give up this impossible thought." To tell the truth, even if Yang Guang really has anything in case today, will this world really get your father-in-law? Now in the court, there are many people who have power above your Chu State Mansion. β
"But the lord is also from the Hongnong Yang family, and he is the distant branch of today's family!"
The young Taoist subconsciously retorted, but then smiled to himself: "It's useless to say this, just like the words of the predecessors, the matter has come to this point, so what can I do." Fortunately, a year ago, the lord was making preparations with both hands, and once the assassination failed, he directly planned to raise troops. β
When he said this, he said again: "But the premise is that the Son of Heaven marches north as scheduled." β
"I can help with that. β
Chen Taiwei stroked his long beard with his hand: "Although Chen has not lived for a long time, in the past three or five years, he can still compete with Yuan Wenshu and others." And Chen's attainments in illusion are not inferior to anyone in the world. β
The young Taoist shook his head: "It's great that the seniors are willing to help, but I'm worried about someone else." β
"Martial arts Li is it?"
"Yes!"
The young Taoist smiled bitterly: "With the background of the martial arts Li family, I think most of them have already found out the clues of us, especially the second son of the Tang family, I didn't know that he was secretly snaring characters like the faceless arrow Luo Li and the white emperor's son Yuan Tianhao, and so far he has failedββ"
Chen Taiwei couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise when he heard this: "The Faceless Arrow and the White Emperor are the second son of the Tang State family, that Li Shimin is under his command, are you sure?"
"It's just my speculation, and there's no evidence, but we don't need evidence, do we? That Li family crouching tiger, maybe when his brother died, began to plan revenge on us, and today we are indeed paying the price for this. β
The young Taoist sighed, and looked at the direction of the imperial camp below again with complicated eyes: "Count it up, Li has lost twice in the hands of this guy so far." Although today's defeat is due to the arrival of Cyrodus, it is in your calculations. If it weren't for this, tonight's battle wouldn't have dragged on at this time. β
"This Li Erlang is indeed outstanding, even among the heroes of the world that this old man has seen in his life, this son's temperament and talent can also be stable with his predecessor. It is said that the Duke of Chu once commented that his talent is like a dragon leaping and a phoenix, and he is only afraid that he will not be inferior to Lanling in the future. I have to say that the father of your family is really knowledgeable. β
Mrs. Chen also frowned: "Can't you get rid of it?"
The young Taoist sighed: "It's very difficult, now that his wings have been removed, how easy is it to get rid of him? I think after tonight's battle, the strength in his hands will only grow further." Even he himself is now not to be underestimated. If I were him, I would have paid attention to my behavior and would not have given us a chance. The key is that since then, the embroidered guards must be all soldiers, and it is difficult not to alarm them if there is any change in Kansai and Henan. β
Chen Taiwei couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and offered suggestions for this: "If this Li Erlang is really as you expected, he is making enemies with us. So the 'Shadowless Arrow' that is rampant in Beijing today and continuously assassinates important officials of the Qi Palace, is also mostly related to it. In addition, this Li Zhige must have a lot of lawlessness. And the lord of your family is the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Therefore, the old protΓ©gΓ© of Chu Guogong is all over the world. β
"It's even more impossible, you and I are here, and we can conjecture as we please. But above the court, evidence is needed. β
The young Taoist smiled bitterly: "Before the change, I still had some methods, but now this guy has been plated with a layer of gold." Without some real evidence, not only will it not be able to shake him, but it will lead the Son of Heaven to be suspicious. β
"Golden body?"
Chen Taiwei's body leaned back slightly, and her face was somewhat helpless. He remembered that Li Jiaerlang, who rescued him twice in a year.
"Is there anything you can do about him?"
"It's not for nothing, I'll have people keep an eye on him, and if I can gather evidence of his guilt, it would be best if I couldn't, and if I couldn't, I could limit it a little. In addition, this Li Jiaerlang's heart is brave and fearless, this may be an opportunity-"
When the young Taoist said this, he shook his head again and pulled the topic back: "The key now is how to let the Son of Heaven go north with confidence." If the Son of Heaven is suspicious, my lord is afraid that it will be difficult to exert his fists. Even before the army is raised, it is in danger of destruction. β
Chen Taiwei couldn't think about it anymore, but he had already seen that the junior in front of him had his own splendid belly.
"If the Dharma Master has a good plan, he might as well speak up?"
"I heard that the Dou family, the master mother of the martial arts Li family, has always been unclear about the remnants of the Yuwen family? β
The young Taoist laughed: "As far as I know, after the fall of the Great Zhou in the past, the remnants of the Yuwen family also asked Nan Chen for help, right?"
"But Dou's words are just rumors, right? Even if it is true, it is just her casual words, and it should not be true. β
Mrs. Chen thought for a moment: "But the remnants of the Yuwen family did have contact with our dynasty, and they wanted to restore the country with the help of the Southern Dynasty at that time. Even now, I actually have some connection with them. β
"That's enough!"
The young Taoist's sword eyebrows were mighty, and there was a cold meaning in his eyes: "The so-called sin of wanting to add to the crime, there is no excuse." His Majesty is now a master of talents, and I don't think she can afford to take that risk. If this Duchess of the Kingdom, as rumored to be, is determined to avenge her uncle's family. So my lord raised an army, isn't it also falling into her arms?"
Chen Taiwei immediately understood: "It's just that I will deal with it!"
He then flicked his sleeves again, so that the castle in the sky under him continued to rise into the sky. The young Taoist was startled, and he felt a gaze like the sun coming from the direction of the imperial camp. The temperature here has risen out of thin air, making people feel unbearable heat.
"Rest assured, this is just a warning, he won't make another move. β
Chen Taiwei was indifferent: "Without the help of the magic circle, it would be difficult for him to break through this Qingming He Chongtian, and he had to worry about those bull noses and bald donkeys dragging him back." If you force it, you will only be embarrassed. This altar Venerable is by no means a fool. β

After the evil spirit was completely subdued, Li Shimin fell into a busy.
The first is to completely pacify the rebellious army outside the wall-after the destruction of the more than 10,000 skeleton Yin army, the wall is actually as stable as a rock. But Li Shimin did not dare to be careless, after the phantom fog that covered the sky and the earth outside dissipated, he even personally led some elites to attack the outside of the camp, and the places he passed along the way were like broken bamboos and invincible.
This is because the leaders of the rebels, Kudi Zhongqi and Chen Zhiwei, fled after seeing that the situation was not good, and the men and horses under their command also regained their senses one after another. After many people sobered up, they were shocked and changed, and their fighting spirit was completely lost, and they threw down their weapons in groups and raised their hands to surrender. Therefore, Li Shimin did not take much effort to force more than half of the 6,000 rebels to surrender.
But Li Shimin's mood is very complicated.
He had foreseen the fate of his former comrades, who were sent to the frontier as slaves, or beheaded as public at worst.
Although most of them may have been driven by illusion to appear here. But just because these two forbidden armies are serving under Kudi Zhongqi and Chen Zhiwei, their future situation is already doomed.
It is necessary to know that the Son of Heaven of the Great Sui has never been a magnanimous person. When His Majesty is angry, he will not bother to distinguish which of these people is innocent.
However, this matter is not something that Li Shimin can control, and what kind of situation these people will be in the future has nothing to do with him.
After sweeping away the remnants of the army outside the wall, Li Shimin went all out to organize people to treat the wounded in the camp.
This matter, the eldest grandson Wuji has actually begun to do. But among their entourage, the number is far from enough, and the wound medicine they bring is also not enough.
Li Shimin personally stepped forward and seconded Lang Chinese medicinal materials to the imperial camp and those comrades who had not been affected by the war. Dozens of monks and Taoists who accompanied the army were forcibly brought in to temporarily serve as military doctors to bandage and medicate the wounded.
ββThese monks who led the ordination and accepted the offerings of the imperial court usually had good medical skills, especially good at bruises. In terms of level, it is even above the vast majority of Langzhong.
However, there were too many wounded in their left rear battalion this time, and by the end of this time, more than 1,200 people had been killed in the battle, while the rest of the people were almost all wounded, but they were only severe.
After an hour, the number of dead climbed to 1,400, and continued to increase.
Li Shimin couldn't help but blush, and his expression was extremely ugly.
Li Xiaoji could probably guess his thoughts, but he didn't think so: "You can't help but be too sentimental, you have done well enough today, think about what kind of consequences will be if you are attacked by those Yin troops? I guess everyone here will not survive." If you really want to lead the army to fight on the battlefield in the future, then this matter of life and death will be met sooner or later. I look at all your decisions today, there is nothing wrong with them, and this is already worthy of your subordinates. If you really feel that you can't get it, you can find a way to get more compensation for your comrades who died in battle. Cherish your subordinates and be talented, this is already a good boss that the soldiers are looking forward to, and there is no one in the Great Sui Army who can compare with you. β
