Chapter 53 Hurry for a few days

In the following time, Li Zhen lived a very leisurely life, occasionally training and training artillery, or mixing with Xue Rengui and watching them create killing techniques, in short, in this leisurely day, time came to the end of March.

A lot of big things have happened during this period of time:

On March 15, five days after Li Zhen's assassination, the news finally reached Chang'an, and Li Shimin was furious and ordered the Green Cavalry and the Flying Tigers (another intelligence organization (~o~) in Datang ~zZ, which is as famous as the Green Cavalry) to investigate thoroughly.

But just after the two spy organizations searched with great fanfare for three days, Li Shimin changed his order, first of all, he rewarded countless treasures and famous medicines, and secondly, he cleaned the entire Chang'an City ruthlessly, and countless city fox society rats were uprooted by the army. The third thing is also purge, the difference is that this time it is not the underworld, but the DPRK and China, in this purge, a considerable number of ministers in the DPRK have been killed or degraded by Li Shimin and purged again, so that the power of a certain person has been greatly reduced; The fourth is to increase his food to 1,200 households, and crown him as the assassin of Youzhou (it is said that Li Zhen also has an official position as the governor of Yuezhou, I almost forgot).

On the other hand, after the reward was issued, the original vigorous thorough investigation gradually fell silent, and the typical thunder and rain were small. What's more, Li Shimin not only did not allow the two major organizations under him to investigate, but also wrote a letter to Li Zhen not to dispatch the blood dragon guard to investigate.

Obviously, Li Shimin found something, which also shows that this assassination incident is not as simple as it seems, not so simple that even Li Shimin can only suppress it, and can only compensate Li Zhen with a heavy reward, and dare not continue to investigate.

Li Shimin's letter came at the right time, it can also be said to be late, but in general, it was still late: it happened that before receiving the letter, Li Zhen had already ordered Blood Dragon Wei to stop. said that it was late because it was different from Li Shimin's request, and the Blood Dragon Guard withdrew because they had already found out what Li Zhen wanted. So in general, Li Shimin's letter is still late.

The intelligence capabilities of the Blood Dragon Guard are not inferior to the 'army' (the combined name of the Green Cavalry and the Flying Tigers)', plus it has to be dispatched several days earlier than the 'army', so what the 'army' can find, the Blood Dragon Guard has already found out, and it is a little deeper than the 'army'. However, Li Zhen's reaction was the same as Li Shimin's, when the information of the mastermind behind the scenes reached him, his first reaction was to suppress the information and order the Blood Dragon Guard not to investigate further, and the matter ended here.

The second thing, on March 6, the day after Li Shimin got the news of Li Zhen's assassination, Li Jing led 3,000 elite cavalry out of Mayi, entered Tun Evil Yang Ridge, and attacked Dingxiang City that night. He hurriedly withdrew the big tent to the moraine. Li Jing sent spies to divide his subordinates, and Jieli's henchman Kang Sumi coerced the Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui and her grandson Yang Zhengdao to Dingxiang to surrender to Tang, and the rest of the troops also rebelled.

Li Jing captured Dingxiang and returned to the dynasty victoriously, Tang Taizong was very happy, saying: "In the past, Li Ling of the Han Dynasty led 5,000 troops, but unfortunately was captured by the Xiongnu; Now you have 3,000 light horsemen to penetrate into the enemy's rear, overcome Dingxiang, and shock the north, which is a rare event since ancient times!"

Worried about the strength of the Tang Dynasty and the continued attack, Jieli sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to make friends, expressing his readiness to attach himself to the Tang Dynasty, and Jieli himself agreed to serve in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Jieli did not really want to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but only used the tactic of delaying the army, buying time, and waiting for him to recover his strength in order to avenge his shame. Because of the visit of the Turkic envoys, Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, sent envoys Hongluqing Tang Jian and others to visit the Turks to pacify, and at the same time ordered Li Jingshuai's army to surrender.

Li Jing and Li Ji met at Baidao, and the two discussed, believing that although Jieli was defeated, there were still many soldiers and horses under his subordinates, and he must retreat to the north of the desert after that, so as to preserve his strength, and the Tang army attacked the north and blocked the road for a long time, and it would be very difficult to pursue the Turks if he waited until that time. Now that the imperial court has sent envoys to the Turks, Jieli must have slackened, thinking that the Tang army would not continue to attack. If 10,000 elite soldiers are selected at this time, carrying 20 days of food and grass, the Turkic Khan can be captured without fighting.

So he discussed with Zhang Gongjin to enter the army, and Zhang Gongjin objected, saying: "The emperor's edict has agreed to the surrender of the Turks, and the envoy Tang Jian and others are still in the Turks, how can they send troops to attack at this time?" ”

Li Jing said: "This is actually Han Xin's strategy to defeat the Qi State back then, as for Tang Jian's generation, there is no pity!" ”

Jieli was very happy to see the Tang Dynasty send envoys to come, thinking that this time it was safe, and he was relieved, but he didn't know that this was just a plan of the Tang Dynasty, and when he settled down next time, he would already be in Chang'an.

Because of his identity, Li Zhen did not personally participate in this series of major events, but after all, he was the long history of the Dingxiang Army, even if he did not go to the battlefield, he also mixed a lot of military exploits, which made several brothers in Chang'an drool with envy.

However, everyone did not envy for long, and soon broke free from it, because the first business of the king bank had been completed. Li Jing led the army to raid Dingxiang, but there were a lot of captures, under Li Zhen's operation, almost all the soldiers sold or consigned their booty to the king's bank to deal with, the king's bank made a lot of money, Li Zhen alone got 10,000 yuan, although the rest of the people are not as much as Li Zhen's, but they also have six or seven thousand yuan income, which makes them more determined to run the king's bank. At the same time, Li Zhen also united the brothers through the profits of the king's bank, and believed that as long as the relationship continued to be maintained in the future, it would not be difficult to tie everyone to their chariots.

During this period, there was another incident, that is, after the victory of the raid on Dingxiang, Li Shimin wanted to recall Li Zhen under the pretext of the end of the war, but Li Zhen pushed the matter back on the grounds of illness - what are you kidding, Li Shimin's purpose Li Zhen can guess even if he guesses with his toes, it is nothing more than that he realized that he had found out the person behind the assassin, for fear that he would impulsively return the favor to the other person? He underestimated himself too much, didn't he? Or is he such a good person in the eyes of others?

Besides, I haven't earned it yet - in the entire war to exterminate the Turks, the raid on Dingxiang is just an appetizer, okay? Attacking Yinshan at night and capturing Jieli alive is the real main course, right? I have come all the way to be a guest, how can there be a reason to eat just one appetizer and get out?

What's more, Li Zhen has already arranged the next things, if she goes back at this time, won't the previous arrangements be done in vain? You must know that it took a lot of money, at least the first batch of income of the King Bank was invested by Li Zhen, not to mention, I also paid a lot of money out of my own pocket, how can I do it if I don't get my book back?
