The letter was written by Liu Wenjing, and the content was naturally about Li Shimin's confrontation with Wang Shichong in Luoyang.

The letter said that when the 100,000 army led by Li Shimin was close to Luoyang City, the two armies defeated his general Duan Da in the first confrontation, and then they won and lost each other, just when they came up with a strategy to lure the enemy deeper, Daddy's secret order was passed to the army, and Li Shimin had no choice but to retreat, but because Wang Shichong was eyeing him, he could only retreat while feintting, and in order to stabilize the army's heart, he did not issue an order to withdraw to Chang'an.

Later, the news of Li Shimin's disobedience spread in the army, and Wang Shichong's scouts also found out about the matter, so they led troops to pursue, resulting in less than half of the 100,000 troops left.

In the final analysis, the failure of this dispatch to Luoyang was entirely due to the deliberate obstruction of someone who was afraid that Li Shimin would steal the credit.

As for the obstructor, although he did not write it in the letter, it is self-evident who he is referring to.

It was I the first to stand up against this when my father brought it up, and it was also when I heard that the battle of Luoyang was unfavorable and persuaded my father to withdraw from the army, and my father only told me about it.

Who else but me?

I looked at the letter and pondered for a long time, and suddenly felt that all of my father's actions seemed to be excusable - he had always hated roommates, and Yang Guang's behavior back then he took it as a warning and never forgot it.

If it were me, I might not have done better than my father.

But the people in the prince's house, I never doubted it, and no one else knew about it, Xu Shixu, who was in charge of delivering the message, was my father's confidant, and he would not do this.

Who else is there to spread the word about this?

I looked at the letter in my hand, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, I turned my head to look at Zimin, she was also looking at me with a bright gaze, and we looked at Xun Yi at the same time: "Is it him?" ”

Xun Yi looked at me and Zi Min stunned, then reacted, pondered for a while, nodded violently and said, "This is also a possibility." ”

This is the only possibility.

If this is the case, then Li Shimin must have failed to follow his father's order, and privately stayed under Luoyang City, originally wanting to break through the city gate in one go, and then send Luoyang City to his father to ask for guilt, but he underestimated the strength of the Luoyang defenders and was defeated by Wang Shichong. The commander of the defeated army disobeyed the military order again, and it was difficult for him to predict what would happen after returning to Daxing City.

But for other reasons, the result would be very different.

Seeing that I was silent in thought, Zimin pointed to the letter and smiled: "Li Shimin may not be able to think of this plan to kill three birds with one stone." ”

Xun Jian and Xun Yi both seemed to understand or not, and looked at me for some reason, I looked at Xun Yi, and I didn't know if I should say these words to him.

Xun Yi saw that I hesitated, and arched his hand and said: "In the previous prince's mansion, I was suspicious, so I asked the prince to surrender." ”

I waved my hand and said, "If I were a gentleman, I wouldn't have done better than him." Mr. Xun, when Tang Lin wakes up, everything may be explained clearly. ”

Xun Jian said that Tang Lin would wake up in a few days, but we waited in the teahouse for several days, but he was still in a coma and did not look like he was going to wake up.

In the city of Luoyang, it is becoming more and more chaotic, Wang Shichong's army is retreating under the advance of Li Mi, and we must take Tang Lin out of the city.

Tang Lin and Xun Jian went out of the city first in the crowd during the day, and we left at night.

When Mr. Fang saw us coming back, he exhaled heavily, as if his hanging heart had just let go, I was a little unbearable, but he still told him that we had to go back to Daxing City.

When Mr. Fang saw that I wanted to leave, he smiled and said, "This is not a place for you to stay for a long time, you should go." ”

Tang Lin woke up two nights later, and saw a few people standing around him who were a little confused, and wanted to struggle to get up, but I held him down and said, "Doctor Xun said that you are weak, so you should lie down first." ”

Tang Lin's face showed eagerness, and after finally listening to my words, he couldn't wait to say: "Shizi, someone in the right army has returned to Daxing City without permission, and I don't know what I want. ”

Xun Yi preemptively asked, "Is there any evidence?" ”

Tang Lin shook his head and said, "No." ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "When you arrived in Luoyang, did Xu Shixu's secret order arrive?" ”

Tang Lin said: "Extrapolating from the time, it should have arrived, but in fact, no one in the army discussed the withdrawal of troops, indicating that the secret order was not conveyed." ”

I said, "Then there will be a confrontation after that?" Is there a defeat? ”

Tang Lin thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”

This situation is not different from what Liu Wenjing wrote in the letter.

After being quiet for a while, Tang Lin said again: "But it's not a complete defeat, when Wang Shichong sent someone to chase him, he dealt with it properly and didn't lose many soldiers and horses." ”

Zi Min was stunned when he heard this, and asked first: "The 50,000 soldiers who can't be returned have died in battle before?" ”

Tang Lin nodded, "On the day I arrived in Luoyang, December 18. ”

As I expected, tens of thousands of troops were lost on December 18, but the secret order was leaked on December 21, three days apart, enough for the people discovered by Tang Lin to return to Daxing from Luoyang.

Because Liu Wenjing's letter is equivalent to explaining the reasons for Li Shimin's loss of soldiers and losing generals, and giving a very reasonable explanation, not only exonerating Li Shimin, but also pulling me into the water without a trace.

Tang Lin's arrow wound, according to him, was shot by a masked man who was completely white.

The people of the Divine Camp? As for this white-clothed divine arrow, he has the ability to shoot Tang Lin and wound him, but there is only one person I can think of - Wang Bodang in the Wagang Army, Li Mi's apprentice.

But this person can't be a person from the Shence Camp at all, unless Li Shimin colluded with the Wagang Army, but this is even more impossible.

Two days later, Tang Lin could barely walk, and we finally set off for Daxing City.

Before reaching the city gate outside Daxing City, there were a bunch of people at the city gate who didn't know what to do, and when the carriage approached, they found that it was the father who was standing there with people.

When he saw our car, my dad greeted us.

Xun Yi stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain to look at me and Zimin, and then got out of the car to help us down, when I got out of the carriage, my father stood aside, he let Zimin go, and came to help me in person.

When I saw my father's gaze, I knew that my father's suspicions had not disappeared at all, and I felt a sudden pain in my heart, and I almost wanted to push his hand away, but Zimin touched me on the other side.

I barely got off the station, and I said to my father, "Father......"

Daddy didn't let me finish his words, only nodded and said, "Just come back." ”

The people behind my dad looked at me differently, some gloated, some showed sympathy, but Pei Lian, who was closest to my dad, smiled and nodded at me slightly.

Chen Yanshou came to greet me on behalf of all the subordinates of the Shizi Mansion.

The purpose of my return was very simple, to explain the matter to my father as it was.

As usual, in the prince's mansion, as always, I am not there, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and Chen Yanshou, as a long history, is very responsible.

"Chen Changshi, thank you for the completion." I stood in the hall and bowed deeply to Chen Yanshou.
