Chapter 105: Trojan Horse Slaughters the City
"The queen of Greece, with her unparalleled beauty, aroused the interest of his prince, who took advantage of the opportunity of the envoy to deceive the queen and bring her home, and the king of Greece was furious, and sent a hundred thousand troops against Troy!"
Due to the extremely long story, Li Xingzhou divided it into several paragraphs, and each paragraph was finished.
Princess Taiping stopped the sword in her hand, and after resting for a while, Princess Taiping danced the sword again, and Li Xingzhou spoke again.
From the time the Trojan prince abducted Helen, Li Xingzhou did not let go of every wonderful detail of this war.
Including the great battle in which the king of Greece invited Achilles, Achilles and Hector, the first brave man of Troy, Achilles killed Hector but died under the vile cold arrow.
Li Xingzhou spoke vividly in every paragraph, as if he was in the big battle.
Although the sword in Princess Taiping's hand did not stop, judging from her expression, she was already fascinated by what she heard.
In the end, Li Xingzhou talked about the famous "Trojan horse scheme".
Princess Taiping couldn't help but "Huh? "With a sigh, there is such a magical tactic in the world!
At the end of the story, Princess Taiping stopped the sword in her hand.
Sit down to rest, while Li Xingzhou also took a sip of tea.
Princess Taiping closed her eyes, carefully recalling the story she had just heard, and said for a long time.
"It's really unbelievable, after a country, he will be abducted by a few words of love from others, and the military general named Achilles, although he is powerful, he doesn't want to die at his ankles, and how tall and big is that wooden horse, which can accommodate so many Greek troops?"
Li Xingzhou said with a smile.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, since ancient times, people's hearts have always been the most unpredictable, and all wars and tactics in the world come from people's hearts."
"It is precisely because the human heart is unpredictable that what happens in history is sometimes as hard to believe as a story."
Princess Taiping was surprised.
"Are you saying that the story is not false, but true?"
Li Xingzhou said.
"Indeed, as in all dynasties, women are always the source of trouble, and there are not many examples of this?"
Princess Taiping sighed and said.
"There are countless precedents for emperors to die because of favored women, Xia Wei's sister Xi, Shang Xuan's Daji, Youwang's praise, and even the filial piety emperor of the Han Dynasty also left the handle of 'Yan pecked the emperor's grandson'."
Princess Taiping felt it, but Li Xingzhou took advantage of the situation and said.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, although you are a woman, you don't have to be presumptuous! Since ancient times, men have made mistakes, but historians like to put the blame on women, in fact, women themselves are not at fault, and those who are at fault are those men who shirk their responsibilities! ”
Li Xingzhou's words made Princess Taiping quite touched.
Li Xingzhou accentuated his tone and continued.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you are a chosen one, why bother to sigh for the crooked words in the history books?"
"You should hold your fate firmly in your own hands, and you can't let others control it!"
Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment and said.
"You...... What does this mean? ”
Li Xingzhou was straightforward.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that Wu Chengsi has sent someone to give gifts again?"
One sentence hit the most painful place in Princess Taiping's heart.
Princess Taiping's face changed suddenly and said.
"What do these things have to do with you?"
Li Xingzhou knew that he had angered Princess Taiping, but he still said.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, but I am only for the sake of the princess wholeheartedly, and there is a slight arrogance in my words."
"But according to the mouths of the people of Luoyang, it is bluntly said that the martial queen protects her shortcomings and does not care about the life or death of the princess, I am afraid that the princess will not be able to withstand the pressure."
Princess Taiping said angrily: "This world is surnamed Li, not those surnamed Wu!" ”
The most taboo words in Princess Taiping's heart, Li Xingzhou actually said it to her face.
Seeing that Princess Taiping's anger was hard to dissipate, Li Xingzhou retired. 、
He knew that Princess Taiping probably wouldn't let herself talk about books in the next few days.
After Li Xingzhou left, Princess Taiping was indignant.
Li Xingzhou's words echoed in her ears for a long time, making Princess Taiping's heart uneasy.
But even so, Princess Taiping has no resentment towards Li Xingzhou, although Li Xingzhou does not listen to his words, but he does think about himself.
After another three days, Li Xingzhou got up early and came to the princess's mansion.
He was wondering how this Princess Taiping had transformed.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw more than a dozen strong men standing outside the living room, and Li Xingzhou was very strange.
Shouldn't it be a Hongmen feast?
But in a blink of an eye, she has the identity of Princess Taiping.
If you want to engage him, there is no need to make such a big formation.
Entering the living room, Li Xingzhou asked Princess Taiping.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't know what to do with me?"
Li Xingzhou said deliberately.
"Do you see the samurai outside the hall?"
Princess Taiping had a cold face, and she could see that she was still angry.
"Your Royal Highness Princess Qiqi, I saw it as soon as I came in!"
Li Xingzhou had to say truthfully.
"Well, what do you feel then?"
Li Xingzhou frowned and thought for a while, and said seriously.
"I felt a killing aura from them!"
"What you said is right, these eighteen people are the generals of the palace rewarded by the queen mother, and this time there is something wrong with the manor of the palace in Liangzhou."
"There's a guy called Youge, who has been active in the manor of the main palace."
Princess Taiping was deeply favored by Wu Zetian, and almost all parts of the Tang Dynasty had their own manors.
In fact, Princess Taiping had little experience in managing these estates, and was only responsible for collecting Zhuangzi's silver every year.
This time, let Li Xingzhou go to see Liangzhou, and it is estimated that what that Youge has done is too much.
Perhaps because she felt that it was too direct, Princess Taiping said softly in Li Xingzhou's ear.
"I don't know what the Pavilion is, and I don't know if I come to Junchen."
"Just go and help me see how it goes."
"Don't force yourself with the people of the Hidden Pavilion."
"I don't have anyone to use on my hands, so I can only count on you."
"If you can come back safely, I will naturally recommend you like the queen mother."
Li Xingzhou only felt a burst of aroma coming, waiting for him to come back to his senses.
I saw that Princess Taiping walked up to the leader and said loudly.
"Li Hu listened to the order, from today onwards, you handed it over to Master Li, did you hear clearly?"
Li Hu and the others knelt on one knee and said to Princess Taiping.
"Princess, don't worry, but with a breath of air, we won't let anything happen to Master Li!"
Listening to Princess Taiping's words, Li Xingzhou was a little shocked.
Princess Taiping handed over his guards to him Li Xingzhou, what a kindness!
"Princess, please forgive me for not being obedient, you handed over the guards to me, what will you do?"
Li Xingzhou hurriedly refused.
"Master Li, get up!"
Princess Taiping pulled Li Xingzhou up and said.
"Master Li, this matter in Liangzhou is very important to me, I can only trust you!"
"Li Hu, they are my dead soldiers, follow you, I can rest assured."
"Moreover, do you think anyone else in Luoyang City would dare to beat my idea!"
Who would dare to beat my idea in Luoyang City?
As soon as these words came out, Princess Taiping was so domineering!
Li Xingzhou is really grateful to Princess Taiping.
"Princess, don't worry, I won't let you down!"
Princess Taiping smiled.
"Okay, it's not early, you can go home and pack up and go!"
A day later, Li Xing set off on Monday.
Nineteen people left Chang'an on horseback.
Target Liangzhou.
After five days on the road, I guess it's almost there.
Li Xingzhou reined in his horse and looked at the sky and asked:
"Brother Tiger, where are we now?"
"Mr. Li, it should be to Liangzhou now, as for the specific name, I don't know"
After Li Hu finished speaking, he asked Li Bao and the others to inquire.
Although there are only eighteen people, the division of labor is clear.
Li Hu is the captain, and Li Crocodile is the staff officer.
Like Li Bao, Li Ying, Li Tu, Li Stork, and Li He, the five people are similar to the role of scouts.
Like Li Mastiff, Li Long, Li Xiong, Li Ape, and Li Whale, the five people are similar to the roles of fighters.
Like Li Shark, Li Python, and Li Ma, the three of them are the role of shooters.
Like the Li Mouse, the Li Dog, and the Li Cat, the three of them are the role of logistics.
After a while, Li Bao came back to report.
"Mr. Li, there is Lintan Town in Liangzhou in front of you."
"We can take a break in Lintan Town tonight."
Hearing about Li Bao's inquiry, Li Xingzhou thought about it and said.
"Well, Brother Tiger, today we will stay in Lintan Town for one night, let's go, go to Lintan Town!"
So, the group found an inn and stopped the horse.
When Li Xingzhou led the group of uncles into the inn, the shopkeeper was obviously a little frightened.
Because they were all wearing tight black robes.
At first glance, I thought they were from where they came from.
Li Xingzhou looked at the boss who was a little scared, so he smiled helplessly.
"Boss, don't be afraid, we're just passing guests."
"These people are my entourage, do you still have a room here?"
"I'm sorry this son, we really haven't had such an imposing person in this small place."
"The little one was a little frightened just now. You wait a minute, I'll ask the guy to help you tidy up the room."
This boss is not easy to mess with when he sees this gang of people.
The one who serves is called a courteous one.
After dinner, Li Xingzhou originally planned to walk on the street.
But the strange thing is that the boss sealed the door panel.
Li Hu frowned and said unhappily:
"Boss, what are you doing, what time is it, you close the door, our son still wants to go out for a walk!"
"Guest officer, don't be angry, I can't help it."
The boss complained with a slumped face, how could Li Hu care what he said.
He had never seen such an unreasonable inn that didn't let guests go out so early.
Li Hu stood up and wanted to teach this boss who didn't know how to lift a lesson.
However, Li Xingzhou was very curious, grabbed Li Hu and said.
"Brother Tiger, don't be impulsive, I think the boss hasn't finished talking yet."
After Li Hu sat on the stool, Li Xingzhou said to the boss again.
"Boss, don't be afraid, my surname is Li, you can just call me Li San."
"I guess there's a reason why you closed so early, can you tell us?"
Seeing Li Xingzhou's reasoning, the store was moved and immediately poured out.
"Li Gongzi, a certain Wang Xiaoli, I don't want to be like this!"
"You said that this is open for business, who will close the door early, not to mention that I am still an inn, and there is no reason to close the door"
Wang Xiaoli's face was sad and fearful.
"Oh, why did the shopkeeper do that?"
Li Xingzhou took a sip of tea and asked quietly.
