Li Zhen, the king of Yue, groaned and said: "This king has very little contact with him, except for the great court meeting, there is no intersection in private, but some time ago, I asked Li Shen, the king of Ji, to recruit me, and I refused. ”

Li Chong, the king of Langya, glanced at Li Xian, the king of Pei, and then sighed, and said with a solemn expression: "The conflict between the prince and the king of Pei that occurred in Chang'an, I must know that I originally used the British king Li Zhe as a cover to investigate the inside story, but what is unexpected is that Changmingfang and others at that time had already been laid a net by him, and the king of England and other others were reprimanded by him. ”

"King Pei didn't mention it once?" Li Jingye glanced at Pei Wang Li Xian, but confirmed to Li Chong, the king of Langya.

"I didn't mention it, because after the Pei Yan incident, King Yin was kidnapped by Princess Wencheng using Pei Yan's nephew and others, and the prince joined forces with King Pei and King Ying, and overnight, in the west of Chang'an City, he saved King Yin Li Dan, and at the same time forced Princess Wencheng to take poison and commit suicide, I think you all know about this, but then I quietly contacted King Pei, but King Pei didn't say a word about what happened that night, and what happened in Changmingfang at the beginning." Li Chong, the king of Langya, said with a solemn expression.

"That's right." Li Jingye was a little lost, if this is the case, then the unprovoked disappearance of the crown prince Li Hong this time is obviously even more unusual, there must be some conspiracy.

Li Zhen, the king of Yue, looked at Li Jingye's somewhat lost expression, smiled and said: "Jingye doesn't have to worry so much, now Yangzhou is completely under our control, Jinling, Runzhou, and even Changzhou are all within easy reach, and now this is completely your territory, even if he Li Hongzong has three heads and six arms, if he wants to take Yangzhou, wouldn't it be difficult to climb to the sky?" ”

"That being said, as the saying goes, 'Know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.'" Wouldn't it be better if we could know what he's doing? That would make us a little more secure, wouldn't we? Li Jingye's doubts were even worse, and at this moment he found that he seemed to be not as proud as before.

The arrival of King Cao, King Yue, and King Langya seemed to be helping themselves, but ...... always felt that they seemed to have other plans, and they didn't seem to be very concerned about their capture of Jinling and Runzhou.

"That's right, dedication, but I don't know where Li Jingyou and the others have arrived now? Did Runzhou strengthen the garrison? Why does Li Siwen always disagree with your solicitation, he is your uncle. Cao Wang Li Ming glanced at Yue Wang Li Zhen, and then turned to Li Jingye and asked.

Uncle Li Siwen has always been grateful for the emperor's gift to his ancestors, not to mention that he has been in Runzhou for many years, and he has long regarded Runzhou as his own, and the people there ...... Hmph, but it's all him Li Siwen alone, so naturally he doesn't want to participate in the grand event with me. Li Jingye said helplessly.

But he didn't say a word about where Li Jingyou and the others had led their troops now, and blurred the past with the topic of Li Siwen.

Just when a few people were pregnant with ghosts, Wei Siwen hurriedly ran in, with a trace of excitement and joy on his face, walked into the lobby quickly, saluted everyone one by one, and then said: "Governor, the whereabouts of the crown prince Li Hong have been found." ”

"What?"

"Where?"

"Really?"

Three different dry voices sounded at the same time, but the tone was full of the same nervous taste.

"It's only more than 30 miles away from Yangzhou...... Wei Siwen looked at the faces of all beings in the Tang Dynasty and said truthfully.

"What?"

"So fast?"

"Really?"

"It's true, it is estimated that in another hour, it will arrive in Yangzhou City. Governor, now we ...... What should I do? As soon as Wei Siwen received the news, he almost sat on the ground in fright.

After this trot, the nervous and shocked mood calmed down a bit, what to do, what to do, what to do? After entering the lobby again, he threw them all to the few people seated, and then he himself felt more relaxed than he had ever felt before.

But at this moment, the expressions of the few people sitting were the same as when he first heard the news, shocked, nervous, at a loss, and dazed.

Li Jingye looked at Cao Wang Li Ming, Cao Wang Li Ming looked at Langya King Li Chong, Li Chong looked at his father Yue Wang Li Zhen, and Li Zhen set his eyes on Li Jingye.

The eyes of several people revealed deep shock and incredulity, as well as the fear and fear that seemed to come from the heart.

"How...... How so? Li Jingye came back to his senses, looked at Wei Siwen again, and asked again with difficulty.

Just now, I had been trying to know the movements of the crown prince Li Hong, but now, when I knew that the prince was only thirty miles away from them, the whole person seemed to be evacuated all of a sudden.

A feeling of dazedness that I had never felt before, drained all the strength in my body, and the chatting and laughter with several princes just now and the pride and ambition were still in my ears, but at this moment, because of the tense and dull atmosphere in the lobby, compared with just now, it seemed so embarrassing and discordant.

Pei Wang Li Xian looked at these people quietly, and suddenly, they became like lost dogs, and even the faces of Cao Wang Li Ming and Langya King Li Chong were much paler than the ruddy ones just now.

He ...... They...... How many soldiers and horses did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bring? Yue Wang Li Zhen also became a little stammering, his virtuous and wise demeanor dissipated, and his face was more worried and nervous.

"King Huiyue, it seems that there are not many people, that is, about two hundred horsemen, plus two carriages ......." Wei Siwen looked at Li Zhen's appearance and continued to answer truthfully.

"What? No way! King Langya almost stood up from his chair and looked at Wei Siwen and questioned angrily.

With two hundred cavalry, how is this possible? Doesn't he know what the current situation of Yangzhou City is? Dare to enter Yangzhou with 200 cavalry swaggering? Sent to death Li Hong? Absolute nonsense.

Facing the questioning of Li Chong, the king of Langya, Wei Siwen looked sincere, stretched out his hand and explained: "It is indeed about 200 horses, front and back, left and right, and no army was found to follow. ”

"So what did he do during the time he disappeared? Didn't you go to Zhechong Mansion to recruit soldiers? So where did he go? There must be deception in it! In the end, Li Ming, the king of Cao, could only think that Li Hong was swaggering on the official road to Yangzhou, and there must have been a trick.

Don't forget, this prince has always been known for his old scheming, and the five surnames and seven families, Li Xian, etc., were all defeated in his seamless schemes, but no matter which time, Li Hong has never been so calm and calm.

"Yangzhou Wharf! Yes, it must be Yangzhou Wharf, he took the official road, it must be to attract our attention, and then let his army take the waterway to Yangzhou, but don't forget, he just led the Tang Dynasty Navy Division to conquer the Wa Kingdom, and now the morale of the soldiers is high, full of fighting spirit, such soldiers, he obviously will not put it away. Li Jingye slapped the table and said affirmatively.

"Since you dare to come to Yangzhou blatantly, swaggeringly, and lightly riding in a simple car, you must rely on something, otherwise, judging from Li Hong's seemingly risky actions every time, but with the accuracy of his calculations, this is by no means his style of acting." Yue Wang Li Zhen agreed with Li Jingye's analysis, nodded solemnly and said.

In any case, it is absolutely impossible for the crown prince Li Hong to carry two hundred personal guards and come to the net to send him to death, but why he is so confident and what to rely on, they need to think about it tirelessly.

Li Jingye slowly looked at Wei Siwen, the meaning of which was self-evident, that is, should he immediately send troops to Yangzhou Wharf to give the army of the crown prince Li Hong a head-on attack.

Wei Siwen looked at the gazes of Li Jingye and several other princes, thought for a moment and said: "Princes, most of the governors, the ministers have already sent someone to Yangzhou Wharf to investigate the news, and they should be on the way back at this time. ”

"So good! If he dares to take the waterway, he will definitely not be able to please him! Li Jingye glanced at Wei Siwen approvingly, and after putting aside the matter of Li Hong's lonely official way, his heart once again swelled with pride.

Several other people listened to Li Jingye's determination to die, and they also nodded in unison, they are elite soldiers on the water, but when they are on land, they are not necessarily strong generals.

Cao Wang Li Ming asked with some doubts: "In this way, it was a wise decision not to choose the waterway at the beginning?" But wouldn't Li Hong have thought of this? Zewang Li Shangjin went to Kuozhou, Xu Wang Li Sujie was unsurprisingly in Jinling, and the crown prince Li Hong went to Yangzhou, so ...... Dedication, where the hell are your people? ”

Cao Wang Li Ming looked at Li Jingye quietly with a little vigilance and suspicion in his eyes, the waterway was excluded by Li Jingye from the beginning, was it right or wrong?

"We can't fight against those five giant ships by waterway, I'm afraid that when we meet the prince's sailor, how many of us will die, so I think that the prince will definitely be dominated by the sailor, supplemented by other Zhichong Mansion that can be recruited, and then the waterway will attack Yangzhou." Li Jingye still wanted to hide where the army he recruited was now, but in the face of the eyes of several princes looking at him at the same time, he finally had to compromise: "I have ordered Li Jingyou to attack Runzhou, Li Jingzhen to attack Changzhou, and then go south to Hangzhou, and Zheng Jingxuan of Kuozhou to take the waterway area, and completely trap the prince by land." ”

"What about Jinling? Don't you know how important Jinling is to us? Wouldn't it be better to take Jinling and rely on the Yangtze River to defend the soldiers from the north of the Yangtze River? "Li Chong, the king of Langya, has always believed that Jinling has the spirit of the dragon vein, but only by occupying Jinling can it be regarded as a solid step in the great cause.
