"The person sent to assassinate should have arrived in Chang'an by now, maybe it won't be long before we can hear the good news!" Cui Fengyan said softly. Li Huaiyan laughed loudly when he heard this: "If you want me to say, the only smart person in this family is you, Cui Fengyan!" The other four families are all fools, unbearable to educate, and I don't want to think about it, I have already rebelled, so can Li Lao Er still believe them? ”

Speaking of this, Li Huai laughed loudly, laughing out of breath, making the two beauties around him tremble. Li Huai laughed and said, "Then Li Lao Er killed his brother and brother in order to become the emperor and imprisoned his father!" That's how he became the emperor! I'm not bad when I think about it like this, I killed my father and beat my brother away, aren't we very similar? ”

After Li Huai finished speaking, he laughed again, Cui Fengyan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and said: "Datang's current national strength is getting stronger day by day!" In just a few short years, there has been a huge change! What's more, he also supported a peerless marquis! This is obviously planning to do it, and the four of them actually lied to themselves, hehe"

Li Huaihaha laughed and said, "Not bad, that's it!" After speaking, he kissed the beauty next to him hard

Twenty miles away in the imperial court camp, Hou Junji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Qin Qiong sat in the big tent, with a map in front of them, which was a map of Weizhou, on which small circles were drawn with cinnabar pens, and words were written on the side.

This is the deployment of the Weizhou army, and it is all important news that the scouts exchanged their lives for. The three of them sat in front of this map, and their faces were a little serious! Although they boasted in the palace, as if these 100,000 rebels could be wiped out with just a little finger of their own fingers, they knew in their hearts that there was no battle in this world that could be 100% victorious! The lion fights the rabbit, and still do his best! Naturally, they don't really look down on their opponents, and they have to be fully prepared!

After Hou Junji carefully looked at the map twice, he said, "They have strengthened the defense of Weizhou, heightened and thickened the city wall, and the moat outside the gate is only frozen in a thin layer, and the cavalry can't pass at all!" They now have a full 100,000 troops! Our encirclement and suppression will definitely not work, do you have any good suggestions? ”

Cheng Yanjin frowned and said, "Didn't we bring artillery with us this time?" Hou Junji nodded first, then shook his head and said, "It is true that there are artillery, but the artillery is not very lethal in dealing with such a thick city wall!" ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said, "The artillery is not here to attack the city wall, but to attack the city gate!" What do you think? Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "In this kind of siege war, their city gate will definitely be blocked, even if we blow up the city gate, it will take a while to clean up the things inside the city gate, and the loss during this time is a bit too great."

As soon as he heard the explosion, Hou Junji's eyes lit up, and he looked at Cheng Qin and the others and said, "On this trip, Your Majesty also gave me five thousand earth-shaking thunders!" Why don't you throw them into the city with a trebuchet? ”

Cheng Biting Jin's eyes lit up, he had seen the earth-shaking thunder, so he naturally knew the horror of this thing, while Qin Qiong shook his head again and said, "Although this will cause certain casualties, but it is limited, I suggest, it is better for us to send a vanguard battalion with the earth-shaking thunder to concentrate in one corner and blow up the city wall!" ”

Hou Junji pondered, "Blowing up the city wall only creates a place where our two sides can meet each other in close combat, and this will not expand our advantage!" Cheng Yanjin smiled at this time, "Without the city wall, our Zhenhai cannon will be useful!" ”

The three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

In Chang'an City, the Imperial Palace

Li Shimin and Wang Xi were once again left in the Lizheng Palace, and Li Shimin stood in front of the world map given to him by Su Bai, looking at the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and was silent. After a long time, Li Shimin asked, "Those people who helped Li Huai's Baiyulou, did you let them go?" ”

Li Shimin's voice echoed in the quiet hall, Wang Xi's figure flashed out in the dark shadow on the side, and he silently stood behind Li Shimin and said, "Yes, those masters are carefully selected by the old slave."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "I originally planned to let the Li family rebel by themselves and give me a chance to do it, but I didn't expect that now the Cui family has also joined!" Hehehe! These people of this family really think of me as a fool, an army of 100,000! Is this something that two families can come up with? ”

Wang Xi was silent, and Li Shimin continued, "This war must be resolved quickly!" If there are two less than seven, the remaining four will be simple! After finishing speaking, Li Shimin looked at Wang Xi and said, "How is Wushuang Hou now?" ”

Wang Xi said in a low voice, "It's still the same, nesting in his academy every day, it seems that he really plans to stay silent and cultivate students with peace of mind", Li Shimin shook his head when he heard the words and said, "Look at eighty at the age of three!" That kid is definitely not a stable person, in the end, I am also sorry for him, this time in order to appease those families, I completely imprisoned him in Juxian! Presumably, this kid must hate me in his heart! ”

"Your Majesty is too worried, Wushuang Hou is a person who knows gratitude, everything he has now is given to him by His Majesty, he will not have such a rebellious idea!" Wang Xi's flat voice sounded, but Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "I gave it to him?" You are wrong, everything now is in my hands! ”

Li Shimin turned around and walked back to the back of the case and said, "If everything about him is given to him by me, then I will definitely reuse him!" Because what I can give him, I can take away! But everything he got was earned by himself, even if I took back his military power! But I can't regain his prestige in the army! Even if I block his economy, he has other ways to make money, such a person, as long as he is given the slightest chance, he will firmly grasp it! That's why I don't dare to reuse him, I'm afraid that one day he will suddenly feel that what I give him will no longer satisfy him! ”

Li Shimin's expression was a little gloomy and he said, "At that time, will he be interested in this throne?" Wang Xi was silent, he knew that now was not the time for him to speak, no matter who it was, no matter what time it was, the throne was a taboo among taboos for Li Shimin!

In the hall, Li Shimin's somewhat heavy panting voice could only be heard, in fact, Li Shimin's worry was not unreasonable, because such a thing did happen in history. Li Shimin picked up the teacup in front of him, the tea soup was already a little cold, he still raised his head and drank it, Li Shimin looked in the direction of Ju County, and then said softly, "Wang Xi"

"The Old Slave Is There"

"Tomorrow, you go to Juxian County, let him calm down, and tell him that as long as he is loyal to Datang, my Datang will definitely not treat him badly! Let him be wronged for a few years, and when the family is wiped out, I promise him that the sea is wide and the sky is high and the birds can fly! ”

"Yes"

Wang Xi's cold voice came, and then the hall returned to silence again, Li Shimin reviewed the recital for a while, but he couldn't sink his mind, and finally Li Shimin pushed the recital in front of him and said, "Let's do this today, I want to go to the queen!" I haven't seen Mingda all day, and I miss it so much. By the way, Wang Xi, tomorrow I will go to Juxian County to bring King Jin with me, and arrange for two people to protect him secretly, and the rest of the candidates don't need to be brought."

Wang Xi's body was shocked, this, this is a big deal! How could you say it in such an easy tone in the end? However, King Jin is only eight years old this year, and he grew up in the palace since he was a child, so such a pampered prince was sent out like this?

Li Shimin seemed to know how to read minds, and said quietly, "When Wushuang Hou founded the academy, I told him that after the construction of his academy was successful, I asked the king of Jin to be his disciple, and the construction of this academy has been completed for so long, and he has not taken the initiative to pick up the king of Jin, so I can only send him over!" ”

"Yes"

Wang Xi's voice returned to Gujing Wubo again, and after a gentle promise, the figure disappeared.

Early the next morning, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, got into the carriage, and the little king of Jin looked a little cowardly, and his two brothers were not at all like him, if Li Chengqian was a hidden dragon and Li Tai was a tiger, then Li Zhi was like a sheep.

In the carriage, there were only Wang Xi, Li Zhi, and Li Zhi's personal eunuch, Zhao Gonggong, but outside the carriage there were more than 100 Xuanwei, in this special period, these people were enough to ensure Li Zhi's safety.

In the carriage, Gonggong Zhao looked a little humble, after all, the old eunuch in front of him was the highest-ranking eunuch in the palace.

"Father-in-law, this time I went to Juxian County, and I asked Father-in-law to take more care of me along the way."

"Father-in-law Zhao is polite, this is Wang's duty"

In front of Li Zhi, Wang Xi was still very polite, and after hearing Wang Xi's words, Zhao Gonggong smiled politely. Li Zhi asked in front of him again, "Princess, what kind of person is Wushuanghou, what kind of person is Wushuanghou, is it fierce or not, I heard my eldest brother say, Wushuanghou said that Wushuang Hou is the best person in the world, but, but I heard others say"

Li Zhi was silent when he said this, and it was not convenient for him to say the next words, Wang Xi understood his consciousness, smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, the old slave can also be regarded as a person who has witnessed Wushuang Hou to this day, Wushuanghou's temperament is still relatively gentle, and this person is very emotional."

When Li Zhi heard Wang Xi say this, his heart relaxed slightly, he could say that he had heard Li Chengqian praise Wushuang Hou, and he had not heard Li Tai say bad things about Wushuang Hou, which made it difficult for him to distinguish who was right. Now that he heard that the prince also said good things about Wushuanghou, he was relieved, after all, there was no need for the prince to lie to him.

Wang Xi saw that Li Zhi was a little relaxed, and continued to smile and said, "And Wushuang Hou is the most interesting person the old slave has seen over the years, he always has some whimsical ideas in his head, I believe that after you have seen Wushuang Hou, you will definitely be willing to be friends with him."

Hearing that he was a friend, Li Zhi suddenly became excited, looked at Wang Xi with big eyes and asked, "Friend?" Can I really? ”

Wang Xi smiled and nodded, "Of course", Li Zhi clenched his little fists and began to secretly look forward to the next meeting.

……

Wei Zhou, also started the first round of attack, or to say that it is okay to test each other, the Tang army sent a thousand vanguard battalions, they took advantage of the cover of night to come to a position less than fifty meters away from the city wall, they held small iron cans in their hands, about the size of an adult's fist, each of them had three or four hanging on their bodies, but unfortunately they didn't wait for them to come under the city wall, they had already been discovered!

Suddenly, a dense rain of arrows shot over! Suddenly, more than a dozen soldiers of the pioneer battalion who did not have time to raise their shields were killed by random arrows! The rain of arrows was too dense, their round shields were too small to cover their bodies, and the arrows shot into the gaps in the shields, and they could only retreat while holding their shields.

By the time the other side's three waves of arrow rain were over, the vanguard battalion had lost more than 70 people, seriously injured more than 100 people, and slightly injured more than 300 people.

However, their task today was originally a temptation, to put it mildly, that is, to exchange human lives for news.

After the three waves of arrows were over, the soldiers of the pioneer battalion returned to the camp with the corpses of their comrades who had been shot like hedgehogs. These corpses can't be abandoned, partly because Datang pays attention to returning to the roots, and can collect the corpses of his comrades as much as possible, after all, after going to the battlefield, who can guarantee that he won't have that day?

If he died, he would have wanted to bring his body back to his hometown.

The next day, it was because they all had the latest earth-shattering thunder on their bodies, and these things must not fall into the hands of the other party, otherwise they would not be too bad!

Today's task is to bury these earth-shattering thunderbolts under the opponent's city wall, so that they can blow up the city wall, but they didn't expect the other party to defend so tightly even at night, and in the end they could only leave corpses in one place.

Hou Junji looked at the corpses on the ground, and the soldiers who were seriously injured and couldn't survive, their faces were as black as if they were the bottom of a pot! Tonight's plan was originally ordered by him, but he didn't expect that it would be such a result, his side would kill so many people without firing an arrow! He feels a little ashamed to think about it!

Cheng Qin's expressions were equally ugly, Qin Qiong sighed and said, "Today's temptation will not succeed, tomorrow their defense will definitely be tighter!" Cheng Yanjin nodded, and then said, "Their purpose is to attack Chang'an, and it is impossible to drag it with us all the time, if we keep dragging it, we have the support of the entire Datang behind us, they only have the accumulation of these years, and the plundering along the way!" 100,000 people eat horses, but it's not a small number! I want to see how many days they can last! ”

Hou Junji shook his head and said, "No, this matter can't be delayed, before His Majesty instructed me, I must only take the other party in two months, there are many small countries around waiting for the opportunity to move, we must use absolute victory to deter them!" ”
