Chapter 1834: Jia Xu's Death

"The interception and killing of hundreds of officials, if it was not Li Shimin's doing, then it can be used as help, but Tang King Li Shimin is also not easy to match, with the current strength of the imperial party, if Qin Hao's threat alone, he may not be able to control him." Sima Yi said.

"Don't worry about this power, Dahan and Li Tang have a common enemy, that is Qin Hao, before defeating Qin Hao's fierce tiger, I imagine that Li Shimin will not be unwise enough to act against his allies." Yang Ping said confidently.

Seeing this, Sima Yi instinctively wanted to object, but after thinking about it, there was no other way out, so he could only sigh and say, "I hope it can go smoothly." ”

Sima Yi and Yang Ping attach no importance to Li Shimin, but they are completely different.

Sima Yi felt that Li Shimin was eloquent and strategic, and he was second only to Qin Hao.

Yang Ping felt that although Li Shimin was powerful, it was only luck that he would have his current achievements, and once Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others were powerful, they would definitely be stronger than him.

Yang Ping does not have Li Shimin in his memory, and there is also no Qin Hao, so he thinks that it is due to luck, if he is the same as Wang Mang, he will naturally not think like this if he has memories from later generations.

Memory and his own limitations made Yang Ping underestimate Li Shimin, but overestimated Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so he did such a thing as seeking skin with the tiger.

Of course, this is also because the Imperial Party only has these few steps left, and there is no other person to cooperate with except for cooperating with Li Tang.

In the calculations of Yang Ping and Sima Yi, after Li Shimin entered Luoyang, he would immediately break away from the Southern Han Alliance, and the three princes of Liangzhou would also return to the rule of the Luoyang court.

Cao Wei and Zhao Song in the Central Plains, and Sun Wu in Jiangdong, although they were all allies of the Qin army, were still nominally vassals of the Luoyang court.

Therefore, in addition to Li Tang, Yang Ping and Sima Yi will also let Yang Sui, Cao Wei, Zhao Song, Sun Wu, and the forces of the four countries also enter Luoyang together.

Under the checks and balances of these multiple forces, Li Tang will not be a monopoly in Luoyang, but the imperial party can strengthen itself in the cracks, and finally regain all the military and political power little by little.

I have to say that Yang Ping and Sima Yi came up with a bold and naïve plan, but this plan is indeed the only way to get out of the current dead end for today's imperial party.

Sima Yi and Yang Ping both knew that the biggest variable in this plan was whether Li Tang could take advantage of the situation to capture the two cities of Yewang and Yiyang after Li Tang broke through Hangu Pass.

If it is done, Li Tang's army will drive straight in, fight directly to Luoyang City, and then cooperate with the imperial party to take Luoyang.

If it fails, Li Tang's army will not be able to march, and may even retreat halfway through, and all plans will be aborted at that time.

In this regard, Sima Yi and Yang Ping also made a preparatory plan after summing up.

When they learned that Jia Xu had sent reinforcements in advance to support Hangu Pass, Sima Yi and Yang Ping guessed that the Tang army might not be able to capture the two cities of Yewang and Yiyang, so they decisively launched the preparatory plan formulated before, that is, to provide grain and grass for the Tang army.

The three major families of Pingcheng are one of the secret sons of the imperial party, and in addition to Pingcheng, the most important step is in Wen County.

In addition to the Sima family of the big clan in Wen County, there are also many families close to the imperial party, and after the Tang army 'robbed' the grain and grass of these families, the grain and grass were naturally enough in a short time.

In addition, the imperial party not only left food for the Tang army, but also a lot of siege equipment.

Sima Yi had already guessed that with Li Shimin's guts, he might cross Yewang and Yiyang City, and attack Luoyang directly regardless of the grain route, and in this way, he would not be able to carry bulky siege equipment, so he asked the emperor's own manor to create siege equipment and hand it over to the Tang army for use.

Sima Yi and Yang Ping helped the Tang army pave all the roads, as long as the Tang army did not withdraw halfway and arrived in Wen County, it would be necessary to have food and equipment at that time.

But after the news that Li Tang's army was blocked by Yewangcheng came, the hearts of Yang Ping, Kong Rong, Ma Riyan and others were hanging, and as the emperor's mothers, even more than Li Shimin, they hoped that the Tang army would not retreat halfway.

Li Shimin is a generation of Ming monarchs after all, he made the most correct decision for the Tang State, bypassing Yewang City and attacking Luoyang directly, and this also made all the imperial parties breathe a sigh of relief, and the next thing is to support Li Tang's grain, grass and equipment.

Just like Sima Yi and Yang Ping didn't know that Jia Xu controlled the imperial party lieutenants in the army, and confiscated the weapons after isolating the family army, Jia Xu didn't know that in addition to supporting the Tang army's grain and grass, the imperial party also secretly built siege equipment to support the Tang army.

The great family has its own estate, and in this estate, there are people and resources, and can produce independently without being known to the outside world, it is simply an independent small kingdom.

It is precisely because of this that Qin Hao has been suppressing the family and constantly liberating the population hidden by the family.

And if the imperial party members were acting in their own manors, even Jia Xu would not be able to search all the family manors one by one, not to mention that it would be too time-consuming and laborious, and Jinyiwei's manpower would not be able to keep them busy.

Now the contest between Jia Xu and Sima Yi and Yang Ping has reached the period of final victory.

Both sides have their own back-ups, but neither of them knows what the other's killing moves are.

Whoever can be the final winner depends on who is more skilled.

After practicing swordsmanship with Liu Mu for half a day, Yang Ping personally sent Liu Mu out of the palace.

The next day, Wei Zhongxian said to Yang Ping with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Jia Xu is coming to the palace, and he has been tricked." ”

Yang Ping's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was overjoyed: "Okay, this old thief has finally been fooled." ”

luring Jia Xu into the palace, and then setting up an ambush halfway to assassinate Jia Xu, this is actually no way for Yang Ping and Sima Yi.

Yang Ping and Sima Yi tried all means, but they were easily resolved by Jia Xu, and now the Tang army is about to arrive in Luoyang, so it is necessary to get rid of Jia Xu and make Luoyang chaotic.

"See Your Majesty." Jia Xu saluted kindly.

After Yang Ping saw Jia Xu, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, he was Liu Xie's perfect stand-in, and he could naturally tell whether the one in front of him was really Jia Xu.

The Jia Xu in front of him did not have any traces of disguise, and whether it was his appearance, demeanor, or even tone, he was exactly the same as the real Jia Xu.

Unless Jia Xu also has a twin brother and is also trained as a stand-in, it is absolutely impossible to pretend to think so.

Yang Ping can assert in his heart that the person in front of him is Jia Xu's deity.

After tentatively asking Yang Ping some questions, Jia Xu left with the guards, and just after he left, a cold light flashed in Yang Ping's eyes.

"It's Jia Xu himself, yes, this time this old thief must not be allowed to walk out of the palace alive." Yang Ping said coldly.

"The slave and maid personally led the people to ensure that nothing went wrong." Wei Zhongxian sneered.

One hour after another, a shocking news came out of the palace, shocking the entire Luoyang City.

Qin Hao's uncle, the king of Qin, was in charge of the entire Luoyang military power, and after entering the palace to face the saint, he was assassinated by several little eunuchs when he was about to leave the palace.
