Chapter 458: To be a human or a ghost

Blue Dragon Temple.

Li Mo went and returned, grinning at Li Zhen, who had been sitting in the room.

"Brother, everything goes well!"

Li Zhen nodded, his expression was a little wooden, and he didn't see the slightest smile.

"So, He Renhou has entered Jiacheng!"

After a long time, Li Zhen said slowly.

Li Mo nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Qin Starling is really brave, it is said that more than 100 people occupied Tonghua Gate in less than half an hour, otherwise General He would not have been so smooth!" ”

"It's not unusual, after all...... The cold arrow behind is the most difficult to prevent! ”

Li Zhen didn't seem to be very excited, and even mixed with some embarrassment in his words.

Li Mo then said: "After Gong Wen Rao left, some of Princess Yanqing's people outside also withdrew, and I guess I have also got the news now!" ”

Li Zhen didn't say anything more, his fingers reached into the already cold tea cup, dipped the tea soup and gently drew a line on the table, and then lightly dotted two circles under it.

Then he said slowly: "It is easy to seize the Huamen, but the next Chunming Gate and Yanxing Gate will not be so easy, Qiu Shiliang will mobilize a large number of forbidden troops here!" ”

"So what? Isn't there 30,000 forbidden troops in the Forbidden Garden? Li Mo looked dismissive.

Li Zhen shook his head and sighed lightly, "Thirty thousand is true, but these people have long passed the peaceful days, and they are very different from the Shence Army, and the city is too narrow after all, such a huge military formation, it will be a disaster if you enter!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen paused slightly, and then said word by word: "You can only advance, not retreat!" ”

Li Mo's color suddenly changed when he heard this, "If it's so dangerous, why does Brother choose to go to the southern suburbs through Jiacheng?!" Aren't we throwing ourselves into the net?! Once the Tonghua Gate is lost, these 30,000 people will be a dead end! ”

Li Zhen's face was solemn, he slowly got up and looked at the sky that had turned white, and said slowly: "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!" I believe in Ho Ren Hou! ”

"Do you want to touch our people?!" Li Mo then asked, after all, there were still three thousand dead soldiers in the city who had been trained by Xiao Liang himself.

After hearing this, Li Zhen raised his hand and said: "This is our last hole card, and we must not move it until we have to!" ”

"Could it be...... Isn't it a last resort? Li Mo was puzzled.

Li Zhen shook his head and chuckled, patted Li Mo's shoulder and said slowly: "Since the moment Qiu Shiliang returned to Beijing, he is no longer qualified to be our opponent!" ”

"Then ......" Li Mo was about to ask, but suddenly realized: "Brother is talking about ......"

Li Mo didn't continue, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest.

Li Zhen nodded with a smile, and said quietly: "Erlang...... You remember, sometimes friends are not necessarily friends, only enemies are always enemies, don't trust anyone easily! ”

After hearing this, Li Mo nodded as if he didn't understand, but after all, he couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked softly, "Could it be that the princess and His Royal Highness King Qi know about our plan?" ”

Li Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Li Mo, and replied, "This is not necessarily, after all, only Wen Rao Gong knows!" ”

"Then why ......"

Li Zhen then smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.

If you change people, even if you can't figure it out, I'm afraid you won't continue to ask, and even if you ask, you may not want to answer.

But for Li Mo, who is not deeply involved in the world, he has no reason to refuse, and he can't refuse.

"Erlang, this officialdom is far more complicated and dangerous than you think, for any of your potential enemies, every word you say and everything you do will inevitably reveal your intentions, just like right now, Princess Yanqing ordered Wang Yu to go to the Forbidden Garden as a lobbyist that day, why should you?"

Li Mo thought for a while and said, "Naturally, it is popular with people!" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said: "But now that I have asked the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager to give an edict, then this favor has been robbed by the Empress Dowager, so the 30,000 soldiers in the Forbidden Garden have nothing to do with Princess Yanqing, and losing these 30,000 soldiers and horses is tantamount to cutting off one of her arms, do you think Princess Yanqing will just give up?" ”

Li Mo pouted and said: "That's also a matter between her and the two queen mothers, besides, the queen mother is still there by Wen Rao Gong herself, what do we have to do?" ”

Before he finished speaking, Li Mo's face immediately tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Brother means that Princess Yanqing already knows about your relationship with the Queen Mother......

"If she knew, do you think we would still be able to sit here unharmed?"

After saying that, Li Zhen's face sank slightly, and he said softly: "Look at it...... This capital will soon be messing around with a pot of porridge! ”

After that, Li Zhen had already prepared a handwritten letter on the case and handed it to Li Mo.

"Where?" Li Mo took it and did not ask about the content of the letter.

Li Zhen chuckled lightly.

"Tonghuamen!"

......

Sandwich City.

Jiacheng is actually a sandwich road located on the east side of Chang'an City, originally built by Emperor Xuanzong for the convenience of himself and Yang Guifei to play in Qujiang, it runs straight through the north and south, can go directly to Qujiang Furong Pond from the palace without passing through Zhuque Street or Fang Road, which greatly ensures the secrecy at the same time, and improves the safety of the Son of Heaven's travel.

This is the first time He Renhou has entered Jiacheng, and it seems that he is also the first person to lead troops into Jiacheng, and he is the first military general in the history of the Tang Dynasty to lead the commanders of the four armies of Yingwu and Shenwu at the same time.

What's more, today's events are enough to leave a few strong strokes in the history books, but despite this, He Renhou's mood is still extremely heavy.

When Li Zhen proposed to take the route to Jiacheng, He Renhou had already anticipated the tragedy of the war, but he still did not refuse, because he understood that this was really not a smart decision.

I think so, and naturally Qiu Shiliang thinks so too.

Soldiers are more expensive than strange, and generals are more expensive than strategies.

Even He Renhou himself never expected that the team Zheng Qin Starling, who did not have much hope for himself, played such an important role in the battle of Tonghuamen, so that from the beginning to the end, he only lost less than 100 people, and completely occupied Tonghuamen in less than half an hour.

For He Renhou, this cannot but be a surprise.

He Renhou stretched out his hand to gently take off the hood, the sweat had already soaked the hairline, and slowly fell down the slightly messy hair, facing the rising sun, He Renhou squinted his eyes slightly and looked ahead.

Looking against the light, a tall and majestic city gate appeared and disappeared in the dazzling light, with no direction or hope in sight.

He Renhou put the scarf back on, and then turned around to look at the army that could not be seen, and a trace of hideousness gradually appeared on his face.

"Brothers!" He Renhou shouted at the top of his throat and stretched out his finger to point ahead.

"Ahead...... It's the Chunming Gate......"

After speaking, He Renhou paused slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "Today, I won't say anything loyal to the king to save the country, let alone any about the glorious lintel!" ”

After another pause, He Renhou's throat was a little dry, and he subconsciously touched the water bladder on his waist, but he still smiled bitterly.

He Renhou's eyes gradually flashed with a strong killing intent, and he pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist with a bang, and shouted: "I just want to tell you brothers, I will wait today...... Rush over and live, otherwise you will be a ghost under the rebel knife, be a man or a ghost, and wait for yourself! ”
