Chang'an City, East Palace.

Li Chengqian has changed, his changes are very obvious, and he is becoming more and more like a prince.

The day before yesterday, he received a letter from Empress Changsun, if it was the former Li Chengqian, he would not hesitate to handle it with a sincere and fearful attitude, and go to follow Empress Changsun's opinion. However, now he was able to think seriously about this matter before making a decision.

Empress Changsun asked Li You to try to keep Changsun Shunde while stopping the rebellion of Changsun Shunde. It's almost an impossible task.

Li Chengqian knows the status of the eldest grandson Shunde in his mother's heart, and although his relationship with the eldest grandson Shunde is not so close, there is nothing bad about it. He was a dutiful son who wanted to fulfill his mother's wish. However, he knew what a big problem Li You would face once he received this letter.

He knew Li You and knew that he would definitely try his best to fulfill the wish of the eldest grandson empress, in this case, Li You was likely to make irrational decisions and do things that violated the law, and might even cause Li You to worry about his life.

Li Chengqian couldn't make up his mind and wanted to discuss it with someone, but this matter was top secret and could not be discussed with anyone, especially Li Shimin. Empress Changsun trusted Li Chengqian because Li You had a close relationship with Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian must not divulge this secret.

Li Chengqian had two choices, one was to send the letter to Li You according to the instructions of Empress Changsun. Another option was for him to persuade Empress Changsun not to send this letter to Li You. Once this matter is known to others, Empress Changsun will be in a great predicament, and even Li Shimin will be very embarrassed.

Li Chengqian thought about it for a long time, and what he wanted to do most was to persuade Empress Changsun. He once walked to the door of the Lizheng Palace, but he really did not have the courage to refuse the request of the eldest grandson empress, so he returned to the East Palace.

Finally, he made up his mind and decided to leave this matter to Li You to deal with. He himself wrote a letter in which he said that Li You would decide whether to meet the requirements of Empress Changsun according to the real environment he was in. If you really can't do it, don't force it. If Empress Changsun blames Li You for this in the future, he will bear this responsibility together with Li You.

These two letters are so important that Li Chengqian can't even believe Zhang Xuansu, Li Dezhi and others around him. He thought twice about it, called Yin Guanghao, and asked him to go to Luoyang in person and hand over the two letters to Li You. Even so, he sealed the two letters with fire paint and wrote the words "Li You personally enlightened".

After Yin Guanghao left, Li Chengqian went to the Lizheng Palace, and he told Empress Changsun what he had done. The eldest grandson did not reproach Li Chengqian, but was pleased that he was able to think independently and make appropriate decisions.

She said to Li Chengqian: "Chengqian, you did the right thing, I was a little impulsive in this matter. However, I trust Li You, he will come up with a proper solution. You can rest assured that even if he can't fulfill my wishes, I won't blame him. ”

Empress Changsun's attitude towards this matter made Li Chengqian feel very relieved. Through this incident, Li Chengqian has made a great step forward on the road of growth.

Luoyang City.

Lu Xiaoqi went out of the city to see Xue Rengui and others, and reported the news of Li You's safety, and everyone was very happy.

Next, Lu Xiaoqi told Zhang Guigui and others what Li You had explained; First, let Hou Cheng take a detachment of the special combat team to Xiangzhou to intercept Gao Mingjun, the governor of Xiangzhou Zhichong Prefecture, who is the son-in-law of Changsun Shunde, to prevent him from assisting Changsun Shunde's rebels.

In order to prevent the shortage of troops, let Miao Xiting, Ma Ming and others lead the people of Xishui County to assist Hou Cheng in his action.

Second, let Huang Laoba assist Xue Rengui's special combat team to secretly infiltrate Luoyang, and he wanted to implement a modern combat method in Luoyang City-decapitation operation, and take down Changsun Shunde and other rebel leaders in one fell swoop, so as to quickly quell the rebellion. Magpies follow the operations of the special operations team.

Third, let Zhang Guigui personally return to Chang'an and present Li You's battle plan to Li Shimin.

Everyone immediately acted according to Li You's deployment.

The road from Luoyang City to Chang'an has been blocked by the rebels, and Zhang Guigui can only make a detour to Jinzhou to Chang'an, and he finally came to Chang'an after three days of wild running.

When Zhang Liang saw Zhang Guigui, he immediately took him to Miyagi to ask for Li Shimin.

Chang'an City. Liangyi Palace, study.

After Li Shimin finished reading Li You's battle plan, he immediately summoned Fang Xuanling and Li Jing to talk about Li You's battle plan.

Fang Xuanling said in surprise: "Your Majesty, this matter is too risky. His Royal Highness the King of Qi actually carried out the assassination mission in Luoyang City, and the minister felt that something was wrong. ”

Xue Rengui is Li Jing's apprentice, and the two have had an in-depth discussion of the modern combat methods of the special combat team. He knew a little more about the special combat team, and he introduced to Li Shimin in detail the situation of the special combat team and its past achievements in the Western Regions.

He said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate that this special combat team only has a few hundred people, and when used at a critical moment, it can be worth tens of thousands of troops. ”

Li Shimin and others had heard of the achievements of Xue Rengui and others before, but in their ideological concepts, war requires the action of a large corps, and they still lack sufficient understanding of the role of a small army.

After listening to Li Jing's introduction, Li Shimin stood in front of Luoyang's map and pondered for a long time, and he said: "I have decided to approve Li You's battle plan. At the same time, he continued to mobilize a large army to maintain pressure in the direction of Luoyang and cooperate with Li You's actions. ”

Subsequently, he called Zhang Guigui, who was waiting outside, and said to him: "You return to Luoyang immediately, so that Li You does not have to ask for instructions, and grant him the right to dispose of it on the spot." ”

Luoyang City.

With the help of Huang Laoba and others, the main force of the special combat team has secretly infiltrated Luoyang City. Now, what Li You has to do is to grasp the exact time when the eldest grandson Shunde will convene the meeting, raid the Governor's Mansion, and take down the head of the rebel group in one fell swoop.

Li You and others are outsiders, they are not familiar with Luoyang, and their intelligence sources are limited. Although Huang Laoba and the others were locals, the level of the Luoyang government they came into contact with was not high, and it was difficult for them to grasp such a major secret.

Li You thought about it, and suddenly remembered someone, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

Seeking Fang Pavilion.

Ma Wengui and the others besieged the Nancheng Inn very much, and Fang Xiaoyu also heard some rumors, and when she heard that Li You had left Luoyang safely, she felt very happy.

That afternoon, Fang Xiaoyu's personal maid Huan Yicui brought a person, who said that he was here to deliver a message for a person. Fang Xiaoyu was a little curious, so he asked Yicui to bring that person in.

The person who came was a young man, and he said: "The little one has seen the lady, my name is Lu Xiaoqi......"
