"Lord Assassin Shi, Wang Jian sent someone to deliver a letter!"

In Jizhou's Assassin's Mansion, a man who looked like a literati handed a letter to an old man who was sitting at a desk in the study and galloping with a pen. There was a faint smell of herbs in the study, and the old man's face was slightly yellow, which showed that his body was sick.

"Wang Jian? What did he say in the letter? Hearing that it was a letter sent by Wang Jian, Wang Hui immediately stopped the pen in his hand.

Who Wang Jian is, he is naturally no stranger. This Wang Jian, who was once regarded by Yang Fuguang as one of the heads of the Zhongwu Badu Capital, who was regarded by Yang Fuguang as his confidant, had seen it in the river, of course, he was not familiar with it, but he knew the prestige of the Zhongwu Badu. However, after recovering Chang'an, he was appointed to stay in the Daming Palace, responsible for repairing the palace and maintaining order in Chang'an, and then learned the news that Yang Fuguang died of illness in the river.

He didn't stay long in Chang'an before he was impeached by the ministers and then demoted to the state. Originally, he was not in good health, and he happened to be ill and had not recovered, but he still came to this remote Jizhou place.

But as soon as he took office, it was just in time for Zhongwu Badu to attack Xingyuan Mansion and expel the then Jiedu envoy Niu Miao. Then, Zhongwu Badu began to eyeing Jizhou, Lizhou and other places again.

As a state assassin, he naturally did not allow the rebellion to continue to Jizhou. Therefore, he ordered the garrison of Jizhou to defend the Micang Road to prevent the rebels from moving south along the Micang Road. Not long ago, the loyal rebels had an idea about Jizhou, and the person who led it was Wang Jian.

Although Jizhou is a state, it is far inferior to Xingyuan Mansion and Lizhou, and the entire Jizhou has jurisdiction over three counties, with a population of more than 7,000 households and about 40,000 people. Therefore, the garrison of the entire Jizhou is only 1,200 people, but fortunately, if Wang Jian and others want to enter Jizhou, they must either take a detour to Jinniu Road or Lychee Road, or they can only take Micang Road.

The road of Micang Road is tortuous, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so Jizhou has not been broken by Wang Jian at present, or Wang Jian has been stationed in Nanzheng, and has not launched an attack. However, the loyal rebels led by Wang Jian were like a sharp sword hanging over Jizhou's head, so that Wang Hui could not sleep well during this time.

Although I don't know how many people there are under Wang Jian's command, there are definitely five or six thousand people. Moreover, the loyal army is brave and good at fighting, and it is not something that the Jizhou garrison can match, so he is writing a letter to Li Ye in Lizhou.

Although Wang Hui was puzzled about this Shouwang, who had met before but had never known him, since the other party was serving as the envoy of the festival and leading the Tiance army, if he was not looking for him, he would not find anyone to save the crisis in Jizhou.

"Back to my lord, Wang Jian said that he was forced to rebel. The person who came read out Wang Jian's letter after finishing the book.

The general meaning of Wang Jianxin is also simple, that is, he was forced to help Lu Yanhong attack Xingyuan Mansion before, and their trip to the Eight Capital of Zhongwu was originally on the order of Yang Fuguang to go to Chengdu Mansion to escort, who knew that Lu Yanhong suddenly attacked Xingyuan Mansion halfway and coerced several of their other generals.

Moreover, Wang Jian also said in the letter that he would not attack Jizhou, but only hoped to take advantage of the Micang Road, and then go to Chengdu Mansion to escort him and complete Yang Fuguang's last life before his death.

After the belief was finished, Wang Hui coughed twice and asked, "Do you think Wang Jian's words are credible?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, I think we should be cautious. Our Jizhou is Xiazhou, with a small population and few troops, if Wang Jian and others rebel, then Jizhou will not be protected, and we will become sinners. The visitor worried.

"That's just as well." Wang Hui nodded and looked at the unfinished letter in front of him, "It seems that this letter is still necessary to be delivered to His Royal Highness King Shou." ”

"My lord, isn't it appropriate for Your Highness to ask your Excellency to go in person and only send a letter?"

"No, I have already written the reason in the letter, and I believe Your Highness will understand." Wang Hui said with a smile, unimpressed.

Let's not say that he is in good health, even if he is healthy, he doesn't want to go so easily. For this Shouwang, although I have seen it many times, I don't know it, and the other party is young, if he goes easily, wouldn't it be very faceless.

King Shou is just a prince, if Li Yi came to Lizhou in person, he would have greeted him a long time ago, but King Shou was not enough for him to go to see him regardless of his health.

"Yes, sir!"

Just when Wang Hui refused to go to Lizhou in person, Li Yingxu arrived in Jizhou on behalf of Li Ye and was heading to Nanzheng County in the north of Micang Road. At the same time, after Langzhou and Bazhou received Li Ye's order, they hurried to Lizhou. Compared with Wang Hui, who was old, Langzhou and Bazhou couldn't ignore Li Ye's orders, so they naturally went to Lizhou obediently.

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, why can't you wait for a while and let your concubine's father lead the troops after the Shangyuan Festival?"

Outside Lizhou City, looking at his father who was about to guard Sanquan County, Liu Chenyan couldn't help but complain to Li Ye, which made Li Ye a little embarrassed.

"Yan'er, this is a major event in the army, don't be petty." Liu Qi couldn't help but blame his daughter, although the other party had become Princess Shou, her rude and willful temperament still hadn't changed.

"Hmph, my daughter is thinking about you, but I didn't expect my father to blame my daughter." Liu Chenyan clasped her hands in front of her chest and turned her head unhappily.

"Your Highness, Yan'er is a little ignorant, and I hope Your Highness will not blame." Liu Qi hurriedly pleaded guilty to Li Ye.

"It's okay!" Li Ye said with a smile, looking at Liu Chenyan who was still angry, he had no choice but to go back and say, "It's not that the son-in-law is unkind, it's just that the loyal rebels are threatening Sanquan at all times, and the Sanquan defenders only have hundreds of people.

The number of states in the east has not been decided, and only Lao Fuyue's father has come out of the horse. ”

"Your Highness doesn't need to explain, Your Highness understands. Your Highness can rest assured that the lower officials will lead the right wing to guard the three springs and the Golden Bull Road, and will not affect the affairs of His Highness. Liu Qi clenched his fists and said.

"With a father-in-law out of the horse, the son-in-law can also worry about it." Li Ye held the other party's hands and said happily.

Although Han Jian was captured, and the rebels hidden among the displaced people were also killed and caught, the remaining troops in the hands of Han Jian and Li Shitai were still in Xingzhou, and if Sanquan was lost, Li Ye could only retreat to Chaotianxia and other places, and he would lose the initiative to go north.

Since Li Ye not only had to defend the Jinniu Road, but also pacified the three prefectures of Jizhou, Bazhou and Langzhou and guarded against Wang Jian, he also needed to leave an army to defend the east.

So he decided to transfer the right wing to defend important passes of the Jinniu Road such as Chaotianxia and Sanquan County, and transfer the left wing to be stationed in Jiachuan County and Yiqing County. As for the Lizhou City side, there is a rear compartment and a local garrison in Lizhou, which is not a weak force, and the five thousand soldiers and horses promised by Yang Shili are also assembled in Jianzhou, and they can be transferred to Li Ye when the assembly is completed.

Because the situation was urgent, so without waiting for the New Year to end, Li Ye ordered the left and right carriages to set off.

Seeing Liu Qi lead the army to set off, Li Ye immediately coaxed Liu Chenyan, who was still angry with him, "Yan'er, don't be angry, I'll accompany you to hunt when you go back." ”

"Don't go!"

"What about going shopping? On this year's Shangyuan Festival, there is no curfew in Lizhou, let's go to see the lantern festival? Isn't He Dong's Tianxiangju going to open? How about we go and cheer him on? At this time, Li Ye was still the Shouwang who held the power of life and death before, but a man who pleases women.

"Don't go, what's so good about the Shangyuan Festival in Lizhou, it's not as lively as Chengdu at all." Liu Chenyan puffed up.

"Yan'er, if you don't obey again, see how this king cleans you up at night." Seeing that it couldn't be pleased, Li Ye smiled evilly and threatened.

Seeing Li Ye's evil smile in his wickedness, Liu Chenyan quickly guessed the meaning of Li Ye's words, blushed, and said angrily, "Indecent!" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Chenyan trotted with her dress, then got into the carriage, and did not let Li Ye, who followed later, go up. Seeing Liu Chenyan who had a temperament, Li Ye had no choice, so he could only let people lead his horse over, on such a cold day, he really didn't want to ride a horse.

"Your Highness, Sun Changshi sent a message to say that the Langzhou Thorn History and the Bazhou Thorn History have arrived in the city." Zhang Wei came to the front and said.

"The history of the Langzhou thorn and the history of the Bazhou thorn? What about the history of Jizhou Thorn? Li Ye couldn't help asking.

"It was said that Jizhou Thorn Shi was ill and couldn't come in person, so he sent someone to send a letter." Zhang Wei replied.

"Sick? Is it really sick? Or do you disdain to come to see this king? If this king remembers correctly, Jizhou Thorn History is the former prime minister's Wang Hui, right? ”

Thinking of this, Li Ye said thoughtfully, I don't know if this Wang Hui is really sick, or something else? Could it be that he, the prince, is really worthless in the eyes of these ministers?
