Chapter 64: Crisis
Tian Lingzi, as a senior eunuch, has to rely on this method to plunder the exploits of his juniors, and it is simply impossible to say that he has no mustard in his heart, after all, Yang Fuguang is the junior of their family.
Now that others mention Yang Fuguang in person, he is a little awkward, but at this time, everyone is planning to deal with Zhu Li, so he did not show displeasure, and seeing that Li Keyong strongly recommended his fake son Li Cunxiao to come out to deal with Zhu Li, he happily agreed: "Li Dudu has this righteous son, it is really a blessing to invite heaven, then Li Cunxiao will lead the armies of all parties and go to deal with Zhu Li." ”
After deciding on the person to deal with Zhu Li, the old eunuch continued: "Zhu Li retreated rudely without receiving the holy decree, but it gave us a good excuse, and we sent a teacher to crusade against him on charges such as Zhu Li's disobedience to the decree, contempt for Tianwei, indulgence in the cholera places under his command, disobedience to the law, and conspiracy to rebel. ”
Li Keyong was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he still spoke: "Tian family, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go out to fight, above the battle array, it is what Zhu Li is best at, if the labor division moves the crowd to crusade against him, maybe he may be able to let him escape calmly." ”
When everyone heard this, they nodded silently, Li Keyong's concerns were not unreasonable, thinking about Zhu Li, since he became famous, he has almost always been on the battlefield, and when it comes to commanding troops, it is what he is best at, and he definitely does not boast of his ability.
What's more, on the battle array, every commander has so many subordinates who are willing to die for it, and under the protection of those subordinates, no matter how brave Li Cunxiao is, he can't guarantee to kill Zhu Li 100%.
"Then what does Governor Li want to do?" Although it was refuted, Tian Lingzi was not angry, as long as he could kill Zhu Li, of course, the more secure the method, the better, he hoped that Li Keyong could come up with a foolproof solution.
Li Keyong glanced at the other three people, and said solemnly: "It's getting late now, according to the opinion of Li's subordinates, Tian everyone might as well announce him into the palace tomorrow, I have thirteen Taibao, all of them are fierce generals, Cunxiao is one of them, if you add the fierce generals under your command, you can make up at least more than 20 first-class generals, I want them to ambush behind the palace, when the time, Tian everyone only needs to read Zhu Li's guilt in public, and order me to take down the other party, at that time, all the fierce generals rushed up and worked together, and it was not difficult to kill Zhu Li. ”
When others heard this, they were very excited.
"Yes, good idea, if you kill this fang in the main hall of the palace, it is indeed a wonderful choice, Zhu Li who enters the main hall, he can still bring his subordinates, when he is alone, it is the best time to kill him." Li Sigong immediately agreed.
"Yes, it's still Governor Li who has thought it through, so let's do it." Tian Lingzi's eyes lit up, and then he made a decision.
"Haha, Li Dudu is really smart, and I, Li Xiaochang, also agree to do this." Li Xiaochang also hurriedly echoed.
The conspiracy of everyone here has been decided, so they have left to prepare.
Besides, after Zhu Li left the main hall at noon, he quickly rushed to the military camp outside the city, with a sense of indignation in his heart, obviously for offending Tian Lingzi, he could also imagine that he might suffer from the other party's difficulties next.
The Shuozhou army has been stationed outside Chang'an City, and Zhu Li has also been living in the barracks, so he has not heard of Li Sigong's roar, let alone that something has gone wrong in Gaosu.
Considering that Tian Lingzi will make things difficult for himself, Zhu Li has always been depressed, for eunuchs who are neither male nor female, as long as they appear in history, they are generally very difficult, they are crippled by nature, and their methods are extremely vicious, maybe Tian Lingzi is thinking about how to deal with him at the moment.
Entering the barracks, he still felt very irritable, so he didn't want to stay in the camp, casually called a few close Ya soldiers, Xinma rushed out of the barracks, walked around the suburbs of Chang'an, while thinking about how to deal with Tian Lingzi's upcoming attack on him, while blindly looking around, taking advantage of the scenery to dispel his troubles.
The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk.
Looking at the sunset and the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on the grass and trees, it seems to cast a golden veil on the entire suburbs of Chang'an, the sunset will always fade, but it will always leave the most beautiful evening scene to this chaotic world.
is by no means like an old man like Tian Lingzi, the older he gets, the more he can toss.
Zhu Li rode alone in the middle of the horse, silent, dozens of meters away around him, several close to the tooth soldiers, constantly vigilant, patrolling around, not daring to slack off.
But after thinking about it, he still had no clue, and it suddenly occurred to him that Tian Lingzi had not launched an offensive at this time, even if he thought about it a lot at this time, what was the use?
It's better to wait for him to make a move, and the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover it, understanding this, Zhu Li seems to let go of his thoughts, but it is inevitable that he will still be passive.
Just when he was a little dissatisfied with the results of his consideration, suddenly, a tooth soldier suddenly scolded angrily: "Who, come out, don't think I didn't see you." ”
The angry rebuke of the tooth soldier instantly alarmed the other tooth soldiers, as well as Zhu Li, who was depressed, and everyone looked in that direction in unison, and those Shuozhou guards who were closer to the tooth soldier heard the shouts of their comrades, and hurriedly raised their spears in front of the tooth soldier.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, don't be impulsive, your own people." Seeing the tooth soldiers on the opposite side looking like they were facing a great enemy, a panicked, even urgent voice suddenly sounded from the nearby woods.
As the voice came out, three men dressed in short fights and tight samurai costumes walked out slowly, all of them carrying long knives at their waists, masks and fangs, and when they came out, they had already raised their hands and looked innocent.
Seeing these strange men, as well as their strange costumes covered with swords, several tooth soldiers who were facing each other did not dare to relax their vigilance at all, and the tooth soldier who was the first to find the three people, after receiving the support of his comrades, immediately grew in courage, and shouted angrily: "Who is with you is your own person, who are you, what are you doing, why are you sneakily hiding in the forest to peep at us, etc., what is the purpose?" ”
The three warriors, the leader, did not pay any attention to the cannon-like questioning, but turned their heads to look in the direction where Zhu Li was, and when they saw Zhu Li on a horse looking at them, they immediately said loudly: "Envoy, we are from Shuozhou, and Mr. Guo asked us to come." ”
Mr. Guo in Shuozhou, if others may not know who it is, but Zhu Li knew that these people should be sent by Guo Qizuo, although Guo Qizuo has no reputation in the Central Plains, but in Shuozhou, when Mr. Guo is mentioned, it is generally known that it refers to Guo Qizuo in the Assassin's Mansion.
Hearing this voice, Zhu Li immediately knocked the jade unicorn horse's belly, drove the horse forward, stared at the three of them, and said, "Mr. Guo asked you to come over, is there anything wrong?" ”
Looking at Zhu Li's indifferent expression, the three of them knew that they still hadn't gained the full trust of the other party, they glanced at each other, as if they wanted to stop talking, as if there was some difficulty, but after a short silence, the ghost-faced warrior who was the leader finally bowed his hand to Zhu Li and said: "Envoy, we are not good at executing military orders, and we know that we are guilty, but even so, we must still inform the envoy of the news." ”
It seems that these people don't know that Zhu Li has been promoted to the general of the third grade, and they still call him the envoy, plus the other party said that he is from Shuozhou, Zhu Li estimates that the possibility of these people lying is relatively small, and the possibility that they are the guards of Shuozhou is ninety percent true.
However, the words of the ghost-faced warrior made Zhu Li's heart suddenly rise with a sense of ominousness, frowned, and asked calmly, "What's the matter, just say it." ”
The ghost-faced warrior didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "A few of his subordinates came to Guanzhong after Li Renyou, we are a team of ghost-chasing warriors, so you should know that General Gao is conquering the Hetao, right?" ”
"Well, what's wrong?" Zhu Li's expedition to Hetao is not from Shuozhou, and it is almost impossible to know, and when he hears the words, he is even more sure that the other party is his own person.
"When General Gao Su besieged Youzhou, Li Sigong's son Li Renyou, taking advantage of General Gao's absence, led one of the party's most elite tooth soldiers to suddenly burst out and rushed out of the encirclement of our army, and General Gao couldn't stop them and let them escape." The Oni Samurai explained.
"General Gao knows very well that if he misses these people, if they are allowed to escape to Guanzhong, it will be unfavorable to the envoy, but sending a large army to encircle and suppress these people seems to be a big move, and the movement is too big, which will also attract the attention of people with intentions."
"General Gao immediately made a decision, and immediately reported the matter to Mr. Guo, after Mr. Guo found out, he immediately ordered us to chase and kill these escaped party members along the way, and at the same time, he also instructed me and others, if one of the party absconders did not die and entered Chang'an, we must find a way to immediately try to inform the envoy of this news."
"But the subordinates were incompetent, and although they tried their best, they finally let Li Renyou escape into Chang'an City and enter Li Sigong's mansion, so we had to follow Mr. Guo's instructions and come to report the news to the envoy." The ghost samurai voice was guilty, and he hung his head and said the truth.
When Zhu Li heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, he had just offended Tian Lingzi, and he didn't know what means this eunuch would use to retaliate against himself, and now there was a mistake on the side of Gaosu, since Li Renyou fled into Chang'an Li Mansion, Li Sigong must have known about Zhu Li's secret attack on Hetao, and the hatred of the family and the captive clan is not a small grudge, Li Sigong will definitely not let go of himself.
In addition, when the rebellion against Shatuo was quelled, Zhu Lizhen beheaded more than ten generals of Shatuo, calculated to break the army of Shatuo East Road, and almost single-handedly destroyed the aggressive intentions of the Shatuo people.
