Compared with the hundreds of thousands of Tang soldiers in Li Ji's hands, Li Chengqian felt that the thousands of attendants in his hands were just dishes, and as long as what he did was revealed, "Li Ji's heart moved, and the entire prince's camp would also fall into a crisis. This is also the reason why Li Chengqian has always been cautious, and as a prince, he even has to do everything possible to frame a small general.

Although Li Ji is also respectful to himself, "he has never lost his manners along the way, and every major decision must be informed in advance", and he did his best to create all kinds of conditions for him, the accompanying prince, to earn military merits.

But Li Chengqian himself knew in his heart that although Li Ji was respectful on the outside and his actions were fine, his loyalty had always been in Chang'an, with his father. Li Ji's deferential performance along the way, in addition to being the prince of the East Palace, is more important because of the face and entrustment of the queen mother and Fang Xuanling.

Li Chengqian can be sure that Li Ji should also be wary of himself, although the two secret agents sent by Gongsun Helan will not go out of Li Ji's instructions, but Li Chengqian knows that as the commander of the First Army, "Li Ji will not be completely ignorant of this kind of thing, and his failure to stop and act has completely stated his position."

What's more, even Li Ji is not wary of himself, and Li Chengqian does not think that Li Ji can tolerate what he is doing now, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and sending his own soldiers to the enemy's butcher's knife, sometimes, even Li Chengqian himself cannot completely forgive himself, but in order to be able to avenge his wife and children, in order to kill those eldest grandsons who are emperors and cannot be killed immediately, "Wuji and Cheng bite Jin, Li Chengqian has to take risks" to cooperate with his former father-in-law.

Of course, there are also some reasons why he is not trusted by his father and the emperor, "cannot be supported by the ministers, and even if he has more military exploits, he is hopeless to ascend the throne, in short, Li Chengqian believes that "there are hundreds of thousands of troops waiting for the monarch to be watched outside, and there is him, the prince of the army, who can access all the secrets of war strategies, to deal with it internally", plus those forces that Li Chengqian has accumulated in the court over the past ten years, it is not impossible for them to be able to fight all the way to Chang'an City.

After all, the current military needs of the Tang Dynasty are not rich, and the soldiers stationed in the states and counties in the territory are far from being as well-armed and strong as imagined, "as long as the soldiers and horses of Hou Junji can break through the Yumen Pass, and then follow the example of the Turkic tribes who invaded the Tang Dynasty back then" to grab materials in the pass, and to feed the war with war, not to mention for a long time, as long as it can drag on for a year and a half, it may not be as good as the Weishui alliance signed between Lingli and Datang back then.

You must know that the sergeants led by the stubborn back then were only 200,000, "Others can directly press Chang'an with 200,000 or even less than 200,000 troops, and force a heroic figure like his father to submit, why can't he Li Chengqian?" With a peerless general like Hou Junji and tens of thousands of soldiers supported by Gao Changguo, why can't he give it a go?

Li Chengqian sat quietly in the big tent, "Wait quietly, after successfully taking Gongsun Helan", the matter is already half done, now everything that should be done has been done, what is missing is just time, as long as the agreed time comes, Fang Zixing will open the city gate, and then the inside and outside should be combined" Yumen Pass will be self-defeating, and they will be one step closer to Chang'an.

"Your Royal Highness...... Fang De, the head of the inner chamberlain who was newly promoted by Li Chengqian due to Li Qing's accidental death, hurriedly came in from outside the tent, bent over and said: "General Li Zhen came to bring Gongsun Helan back for trial with the order of the marshal, and the Li guards were a little overwhelmed, so let the villain come over and ask His Highness for instructions." ”

"Did you notice it so quickly?" Knowing that this was a temptation by Li Ji, Li Chengqian's expression changed slightly, and he did not make any suggestions on the matter raised by Fang De, but asked Ande a little unboundedly: "What time is it?" ”

"Huh?" Fang De was stunned for a moment, but he still quickly replied sharply: "Back to Your Highness" In a moment, it will be time. ”

"Is there a moment left?" Li Chengqian's heart calmed down, and he whispered an order to Fang De below, saying, "You go and talk to Li Jing, don't refuse" and don't agree, just try your best to drag them to the hour.

"Yes, it's Your Highness!" Somewhat strangely, he glanced up at His Royal Highness of their family, and saw that Li Chengqian's face was not good" Fang De quickly lowered his head again and carefully exited the camp.

"Zhao Fang, Zhao Yuan!" After Fang De withdrew from the camp tent, "Li Chengqian no longer had the calm demeanor he had before" stood up from the couch with some eagerness, and loudly called the Zhao family brothers who had been guarding him into the camp tent, and commanded in a deep voice: "Li Ji has become suspicious, this place is no longer a place to stay for a long time, you will quietly go out of the camp with Gu now" to the city gate to meet Fang Tong. ”

Anyway, most of the guards in the camp have already been sent to replace the city defense at the city gate, and the current prince's camp is already an empty shell. And in case Li Zhen's little taro goes crazy, he really leads his troops into the camp, "Most of the guards in the camp will be nowhere to be seen, won't he, the prince, be passive?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" , the Zhao brothers responded with a loud voice, "Before and after, Li Chengqian came out of the camp."

At the Yumen Pass, Gao Yue has already led his troops to secretly take down the prince's guards who are responsible for guarding the city and the city, leaving only Fang Zixing and a few of his subordinates under the city gate, and secretly monitoring their every move.

When Li Chengqian and the three of them arrived at the city gate, Fang Zixing and his entourage still didn't realize that "they walked back and forth at the city gate, and after a while, they looked at the hourglass not far from their side, and they were getting closer and closer to the agreed time, and Fang Zixing and a few adjutants couldn't help but feel a little nervous and apprehensive." As a sergeant of the Tang Dynasty, he is betraying the Tang Dynasty at this moment, although this is a strict order from the prince, and they have to obey it, but in their hearts, "they will inevitably have some pimples."

"Wait a minute, there's something wrong ahead." Seeing that Li Chengqian saw Fang Zixing and his party, he wanted to go over quickly, and Zhao Fang, who was walking in front, grabbed him and "carefully hid in a shadow place with Zhao Yuan, and looked carefully at the city gate.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Seeing that Zhao Fang and them were so nervous, Li Chengqian's heart was also mentioned, and he glanced at the city gate, "That's right, it's indeed Fang Zixing and their party, didn't you see anything wrong?"

"There's an ambush!" After looking around, Zhao Fang whispered to Li Chengqian: "Commander Fang led them to have a large number of soldiers secretly watching, let's go over now, I'm afraid it will be more auspicious." ”

"Is it Li Ji's person?" Li Chengqian's heart tightened, and he couldn't help asking.

"It's not like a palace guard." , Zhao Yuan replied softly, which was regarded as giving Li Chengqian a positive answer.

"Li Jipifu, it's a big mistake to be alone!" Knowing that the plan was a complete failure, Li Chengqian punched the city wall hard, and commanded Zhao Fang in a deep voice: "Zhao Fang, you should find a way to go out of the city to report the news now, and tell General Hou about the situation in the city, just say that the plan is exposed, and Li Ji intends to plan and set up an ambush in the city, "whether to fight or retreat" Let General Hou decide for himself! ”

"However, the safety of His Highness", "Zhao Fang was a little hesitant, and the city wall couldn't stop him, but the master of their family was injured and couldn't move, only Zhao Yuan was guarding alone, I was afraid that it was not thorough enough."

"With Zhao Yuan by his side, it's okay." Li Chengqian shook his head lightly and said: "After tonight, there is no place for Lone in this falcon, and in the next few days, before the Yumen Pass is breached, Lone and Zhao Yuan will hide incognito among the civilian markets, just hoping that the general can break the city as soon as possible and help me." ”

"In this way, the Poppy people are gone, Your Highness take care!" , said goodbye to Li Chengqian, and then explained two sentences to Zhao Yuan, and Zhao Fang quickly dodged away.

At the same time, the prince's camp was blocked by Li Jing for a long time, and Li Zhen was already impatient in his heart, "directly pulled out the knife on his waist, and said sharply to Li Jing: "I ask you again, to pay or not to pay?!" ”

"General Li" is not the last general who does not pay, "In fact, the prince has a strict order to personally seek justice for General Manager Li Qing, and this Gongsun Helan" really cannot be taken lightly. Seeing Li Zhen's fierce and vicious appearance, Li Jing couldn't help but break out in a layer of cold sweat on his face, he knew that if he couldn't talk about it again, "This master really has to do it."

"So, you're not handing it in?" Li Zhen's eyes widened, and the hand holding the knife tightened, "The whole person also stepped forward and got closer to Li Jing."

"If it is not the last general, it will not be handed over" Li Jing was forced to take a step back again, and then said: "As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees, the last general will never dare to stop him." But now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has stopped, there are no guests, so why don't General Li wait until tomorrow to come back? "Wait until tomorrow? Wait for your mother, wait, give Lao Tzu a side! Seeing that Li Jing was still ink and refused to give way, Li Zhen slapped the person aside, raised the gold medal order arrow given by Li Ji with one hand, and shouted loudly: "The handsome man has an order, take Gongsun Helan back to the camp for trial, and anyone who intends to obstruct it will be killed!" ”

"Search for Lao Tzu!" Li Zhen waved his hand, "His soldiers began to sweep around the camp.

"You!" Putting the long knife in his hand back into the sheath, Li Zhen raised his hand and pointed at Li Jing, who was fanned to the ground by himself, and said, "Now take me to the prince's tent, and I will personally explain to His Royal Highness the prince that even the guilt is all on the head of Lao Tzu alone." ”

"This" this ......" Li Jing had the heart to refuse, but when he saw Li Zhen's slap raised again, he had to nod and say: "General Li, please follow the end of the future." "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is gone! As soon as the group entered the camp, they saw the new head of the chamberlain, Fang De, running from the largest camp in the middle with a panicked face, and kept screaming in his mouth, as if he was a demonic barrier.

"Gone?!" Li Zhen's complexion also changed, wouldn't Li Chengqian's gang notice that the matter was revealed and absconded in fear of crime? Li Zhen rushed into the prince's tent quickly, and saw that it was really empty, and the prince Li Chengqian was indeed gone. ~！
