The shock in King Luo Bin's heart this time was beyond measure, he really didn't expect that Li Jingye was really as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, and he could judge His Royal Highness the Prince's true intentions from a simple sentence.

And just when King Luo Bin was shocked by Li Jingye's meticulous and perverted mind, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and Li Chong, the king of Langya, in the Yue Wang's mansion, became even more restless than Li Jingye outside.

Li Chong, the king of Langya, walked back and forth, looking worried and anxious, and Li Zhen, the king of Yue, sat on the first seat, closed his eyes and pondered, ignoring Li Chong's sighs.

"Father, why is that? The situation is changing too fast, right? It's just one night, how can things change so much? How did it suddenly become out of our control? Li Chong, the king of Langya, stopped, looked at Li Zhen, the king of Yue, and asked with some annoyance.

Even before today, although they and Li Jingye had their own plans, they had not yet said that they had torn their faces and saw each other with knives and guns, and the two sides were still in the stage of using each other.

But why did all this completely change after one night, and all of a sudden Li Jingye surrounded the mansion.

King Yue slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Chong with some tired eyes, sighed and said: "All this is because of the arrival of the prince, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have torn our faces with Li Jingye so quickly." After saying that, King Yue sighed again and closed his eyes again, as if he didn't want to see the situation that was becoming more and more unfavorable to them now.

"Prince? Can Yangzhou City be turned upside down overnight? Li Chong asked with some confusion.

It is true that Li Hong is influential, and it is also true that he has a deterrent effect on them, but to say that he just went to Yangzhou and did nothing, and then let them oppose Li Jingye, this is too incredible.

"We underestimated the influence of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even underestimated the impact of his arrival on us, the prince came alone this time, and he didn't think about suppressing Li Jingye's ...... through his powerlessness." Li Zhen closed her eyes and said lightly.

"Then what did he rely on to suppress Li Jingye and take Yangzhou back from Li Jingye?" Li Chong couldn't wait to ask.

Li Zhen, the king of Yue, did not answer Li Chong's words immediately, and suddenly the hall fell into silence, as if even the footsteps of those soldiers outside the palace could be heard clearly.

After a long while, Li Zhen said: "Self-chaos!" This is the purpose of the prince's coming to Yangzhou alone, and it is also a ...... of his own self-confidence. ”

"Hubris, don't he ......." Li Chong interrupted Li Zhen's words with some disdain.

"But he did it, so the prince has a very clear understanding of himself, he knows how much psychological pressure he will cause to us and Li Jingye after coming to Yangzhou alone. Li Zhen got up slowly, walked to the window, and looked at the courtyard wall in the distance, outside the wall is now Li Jingye's army.

Li Chong looked at Li Zhen turning around in front of the window, showed a bitter smile to him, and said with the vicissitudes of the twilight years of the hero: "Do you still remember how we felt when the spies came to report that the crown prince Li Hong suddenly disappeared on the official road?" Let's just say that yesterday, when the crown prince Li Hong suddenly appeared thirty miles away from Yangzhou, whether it was me or your Uncle Cao Wang, or yourself, including Li Jingye, what kind of expression did each of us look like? ”

Li Chong looked at Li Zhen with a somewhat lonely, even sad smile, and couldn't help but remember in his mind that when he heard that the crown prince Li Hong was only thirty miles away from Yangzhou City yesterday, there was a weird, terrifying, and frightening atmosphere flowing in the hall at that time.

As for everyone's expressions, including myself, the muscles on my face seemed to have stiffened at that time, and even laughing seemed to be crying, especially in my heart, I couldn't say a sense of dazedness at that time, and I even thought that the general trend had gone.

Li Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed, and his figure seemed to grow old: "Yes, my father, I was in the same mood as you at that time, and the sudden news made my father's first reaction was that the general trend had gone, and he even felt that he had reached an irreversible desperate situation." We discussed how many troops the crown prince Li Hong would bring to Yangzhou, whether he would take the water route or the land route, we were not only worried but fearful, and the fear born from the depths of our hearts! And this is the purpose of the prince, he clearly understands that when he disappeared and then appeared thirty miles away from Yangzhou, after such news is known, what kind of consequences and psychological burden will it have on us.

So we have been figuring out the prince's intentions, the prince's troops, how he will attack the city, but we don't know that when the prince set off from Hangzhou, he was already designing and calculating us, from disappearing to appearing, it was to catch us off guard, he was like the last straw that crushed the camel's camel, and finally let us unconsciously go to the realm of falling apart, so that we were in a mess, and there was a gap between each other. ”

Li Chong was shocked, his whole face became pale, recalling Li Zhen's words, and muttered: "So he deliberately robbed Chen Jingzhi for the first time, which made us believe even more that he had no fear and must rely on, so the mutual use of us and Li Jingye's original distrust was completely split by him." ”

"Yes, robbing Chen Jingzhi makes us think that the prince's primary target is Li Jingye, and we have relaxed our vigilance and misjudged the situation, thinking that in such a situation, Li Jingye can only go by rebellion, and we can only rely on our fame to survive. And we can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the prince and Li Jingye fight each other to the death, we will reap the benefits of the fisherman. Li Zhen said bitterly.

"But Li Jingye thinks that the crown prince Li Hong, who only carries two hundred personal guards, is not afraid, there are no soldiers on the land road, and there are no soldiers on the waterway, and he is unwilling to be used by us when he and the prince are fighting to the death, that is, the fisherman will benefit, so he will turn against us." Li Chong continued to follow Li Zhen's words and muttered speculation.

"Yes, the reason for all this, in the final analysis, is that he came to Yangzhou alone, and he can have the influence and lethality on us without saying a word. Having said that, after all, it is because we are shocked and frightened from the bottom of our hearts, and misestimate his tactics and tactics, which leads us to chaos and surrender without a fight, and the art of war is also the best strategy. The more Li Zhen said later, the more difficult it was to hide the haggard and lost on his face, and he had been planning hard for many months, not wanting to be easily cracked by the crown prince Li Hong in one night.

"That'...... So what now? Li Chong had lost his claim at this time, and the whole person suddenly became flustered.

"I don't know, the initiative is now in the hands of the crown prince Li Hong, and it is up to him to decide how to play this game of chess." Li Zhen sat back on the chair in a dejected manner, and the whole person suddenly aged a lot, and said weakly.

"But...... But don't we still have these thousand soldiers? And Wei Chao, who Uncle Cao persuaded on the periphery, plus a fake King Pei, don't we have any chance? The crown prince only has 200 people, can he deal with so many people? Li Chong was in a hurry, he was unwilling, and supported Li Xian as the crown prince, and then they could even control Li Xian, and after Li Zhi was a hundred years old, they could even force Li Xian to give him the throne.

But...... But now all this, I have been dreaming for a long time, and this is about to become a reality, why was it shattered overnight? How can he be willing!

"Uncle Cao? Hehe, I'm afraid it's more than auspicious now. Li Zhen's eyes were blank, if he did it all over again, would he still be so afraid of Li Hong?

"Huh? How can it be? Li Chong was completely flustered at this time, and even the whole person suddenly felt as if he was being choked tightly by his throat, unable to breathe and about to suffocate.

"If my expectations are correct, Luo Bingwang should be Li Hong's person, two years ago, Li Hong suddenly transferred Luo Bingwang, Yang Jiong and others from Anxi to Jiangnan, which was obviously premeditated. What's more, Li Hong has always been good at using means to win people's hearts, and King Luo Bin has never complained about his willingness to follow him to fight in Anxi, why did he start complaining about the prince's injustice to him when he arrived in Jiangnan? ”

The more Li Zhen thought about it with his own thoughts, the more incredible he felt, why Li Hong could be one step ahead of them everywhere, no! Or even a few steps! He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out what the joint was.

"Father, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, we are now leading these thousand people to rush out, presumably even if it is a fight to the death, it is not very difficult to escape, right?" Li Chong gritted his teeth and said with a somewhat hideous expression.

Now I can't take care of it so much, if it is really as my father said, Uncle Cao Wang is now more than auspicious, then the top priority now is to protect his life first.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, you often travel back and forth between Luoyang and Chang'an, but you don't know as much about the prince as your father." Li Zhen was really disappointed this time, hearing Li Chong's words, Li Zhen felt that if only a few of them wanted to bring down Li Hong, it would be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Li Zhen was now desperate, after dawn, Li Ming, the king of Cao, was still unheard of, and he was surrounded by Li Jingye outside the gate, and at that time he had already realized that the general trend had gone.

There are people surrounded outside, which already shows that the mansion in Yangzhou City has been completely controlled by Li Hong, and even if he has wings, he will not be able to escape.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Chong was even more puzzled, is his father like this, is he going to sit still and wait for death? Could it be that he didn't even resist at the very least, just quietly waiting to be questioned by the crown prince Li Hong!

Li Zhen looked at Li Chong's anxious look and spat lightly: "Because of Bai Chun." ”
