"That's right, very likely. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Shimin blurted out this and nodded.

Suddenly, he found that Luo Yi was indeed quick to react and have a unique vision, and it was a pity that he didn't become an official.

Xu Maogong, Cheng Yanjin, and Luo Tong also agreed with Luo Yi's statement.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that the minister asked you a few days ago, if King Xiliang wants to talk about something, would you like to?"

"Yes."

Li Shimin said: "I will tell you now, if you don't negotiate peacefully, the land of Xiliang is the back of my Tang Dynasty, three years into the court, five years to rebel, not completely eradicated, sorry for the ancestors and ancestors, sorry for the people of Li." ”

"I want to uproot Xiliang and get rid of future troubles forever!"

Xu Maogong wanted to speak and stopped, he mentioned this matter because he wanted to persuade Li Shimin, but now it seems that there is no need to persuade him, Li Shimin's attitude is so resolute, it is useless to persuade him.

It's Xiao Wenlong, if he asks Jincheng for help, it's very worrying, if the King of Xiliang transfers another 100,000 troops, then Xiao Wenlong's strength will expand by nearly half, completely crushing the trapped Yang City.

Seeing that Xu Maogong was worried, Li Shimin said: "Don't worry, I have asked Li Daozong to lead his troops to come, and when his 100,000 troops arrive, we can launch an attack on Xiao Wenlong, and we don't have to wait until the next year." ”

"But the emperor, the ministers still have to admonish."

After Xu Maogong paused, he still decided to persuade Li Shimin, no matter whether Li Shimin agreed or not, he could be regarded as a courtier.

Xu Mao said fairly: "Not to mention whether Li Daozong's 100,000 people can come, even if they come, our strength is only between us and Xiliang Bozhong, because if we don't make peace, the king of Xiliang will definitely increase Xiao Wenlong's troops, and at that time, when the war starts, it will be the people who will suffer." ”

"Besides, the minister has always been not optimistic about Li Daozong, and he doesn't think that he can bring 100,000 troops here safely, maybe he won't come at all, and maybe he will bring the troops back to Chang'an."

"He dares!"

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Without my will, why did he go back to Chang'an privately?" ”

"If he dares to do this, then he will die, and no one can save him."

"Mao Gong, you shouldn't be prejudiced against him, after all, he is the emperor's uncle, and I still believe in his loyalty."

Others don't know, but Luo Yi knows about Li Daozong, the whole day is a day after the back of his head, it's no wonder if he doesn't rebel, it's just that he hasn't had a chance, and then there is Li Daozong, who is cautious, no matter what time it is, he has a way back for himself, so until the end, you can't see his true side.

That night, Li Daozong arrived at Sleepy Yang City.

Li Daozong came alone and did not bring his 100,000 troops, and the news he brought also made Li Shimin angry.

Li Daozong said that the new marshal Zheng Tianyong actually went to Chang'an with an army of 100,000 behind his back, and he was suspected of rebelling, and he came to Sleepy Yang City to ask for punishment.

Although Li Daozong's news did not have much to do with him on the surface, it made Li Shimin suspicious of him, and Li Daozong still did not bring the army safely after all.

And when Li Shimin told Xu Maogong and Cheng Yanjin and others the news, they were all shocked, Zheng Tianyong returned to Chang'an with an army of 100,000, and Chang'an was in danger.

"Your Majesty, Inspector Li Daozong is unfavorable, and he should be fully responsible, and ask the emperor to give a heavy punishment."

Cheng Yanjin stood up and said.

Li Daozong's face was guilty, he looked like he confessed his guilt, and said: "Your Majesty, it is the fault of the old minister, and the old minister is willing to accept the guilt." ”

"Are you willing to confess... Okay, I'll dismiss all your officials. ”

Li Shimin said: "Li Daozong, you go back, there is no will of me in the future, you are not allowed to go to the court, go back and think about it." ”

"Yes."

Li Daozong turned around and left the lobby.

Of course, Cheng Yanjin was not satisfied with this punishment: "Your Majesty, is that it, this is too light." ”

Li Shimin said: "Otherwise, what can I do, the matter has already happened, can he still make him pay for his life, even if he pays for his life, it can't change the ending of Zheng Tianyong going to Chang'an." ”

In addition to Cheng Yanjin, there were also Luo Yi, Luo Tong, Xue Rengui, and other generals, a total of more than a dozen.

Not only did Cheng Yanjin oppose it, but Xu Maogong was also extremely optimistic about Li Daozong, and he had long wanted to clean up, so how could he let it go when he seized an opportunity at this time.

Although Li Shimin has punished Li Daozong, Xu Maogong still said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Tianyong was recommended by Li Daozong, if something happened, he could not escape the blame, if something really happened to Chang'an, even if it had nothing to do with him, he was also a sinner through the ages." ”

"Then according to you, how should you be punished?"

Xu Mao said fairly: "Chop!" ”

Xu Maogong also said a word, but it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, resounding in the lobby, and beheading a dignified uncle can be regarded as a big deal.

Xu Mao said fairly: "If you don't cut it, it's not enough to establish the prestige of the army, if you don't cut it, it's not enough to establish the prestige of the country!" ”

"Please judge impartially."

"You mean I'm unfair?"

Xu Mao said fairly: "The minister is worried about the country, and he asks the emperor to judge impartially." ”

At this time, everyone else in the hall also stood up and arched their hands: "Please ask the emperor to judge impartially." ”

Even Luo Yi stood up, all resentful of Li Daozong's actions, which showed that his enemies were all over the government and the opposition.

After a long time, Li Shimin returned to his seat and sat down, looked at the people of you, and said: "In this case, then pass the decree to press Li Daozong into the prison of Sleepy Yang City to await trial, and after I pacify Xiliang, I will return to Chang'an to be punished." ”

Such a decision can be said to have reached Li Shimin's bottom line, Li Daozong is no longer the emperor's uncle, it is the Li family, Li Shimin has always had a knot in his heart, his brother and younger brother were all killed by him, and he is no longer willing to raise the butcher's knife for his relatives in this life.

Xu Maogong was obviously not very satisfied with this decision, but he knew Li Shimin's thoughts, and it was useless to persuade him, and then Xu Maogong returned to his original position.

The rest of the people did the same.

Li Shimin said: "Li Daozong's matter is like this, the most important thing now is that Zheng Tianyong has led the army to Chang'an, Chang'an is in danger, how to solve this dilemma?" ”

A few days ago, Xu Maogong said that all the troops around Chang'an and Chang'an City have been transferred to Xiliang, and there are no troops at all.

Without soldiers, there is no way to stop Zheng Tianyong, everything is in vain, even if there are thousands of schemes, it is useless.

Luo Yi didn't dare to speak, and sat in place to watch.

The hall was silent for about five minutes, and Xu Mao said fairly: "If you want to relieve the siege of Chang'an, you must go to reinforcements, and the closest to Chang'an is our sleepy Yang City, and it only takes one month for the cavalry to return to help, but..." ”

Xu Maogong didn't say the latter words, but everyone understood that now Sleepy Yang City is short of troops, where are there still soldiers to rush to the aid of Chang'an, even if they go, then Xiliang will not want to be pacified anymore, and the most important thing is that even if you go, you may not be able to catch up, maybe by the time you arrive, Chang'an will be gone.

Cheng Biting Jin said: "I don't know if Zheng Tianyong has a family, if there is, it may be useful to threaten each other." ”

Luo Daodao: "Don't think about it, since he is determined to rebel, how can he put his family in Chang'an, besides, Zheng Tianyong was found by Li Daozong privately, and he was not from Chang'an before, who knows where his hometown is." ”

"Ask Li Daozong, Li Daozong must know."

"No need."

Li Shimin said: "I believe that Qian'er can guard Chang'an well, and the affairs of Chang'an will be natural." ”

"This matter may not be so simple, Zheng Tianyong is a grass citizen, how dare to do such a rebellious thing, there must be someone behind him, maybe it is the minister of the court, maybe it is the king of Xiliang, maybe..."

"I just want to do the opposite, pass on the decree, no one is allowed to mention the matter of Chang'an again, from tomorrow, crusade against Xiao Wenlong, and completely defeat Xiao Wenlong's army! Within fifteen days, the fighting must be ended! ”

"Yes."

Everyone stood up and answered.

Li Daozong was imprisoned and lost his freedom; This is something that Li Daozong himself didn't expect at all, he had already paid off the plea, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to punish him again.

Originally, everything was as Li Daozong thought, but he ignored Xu Maogong, and this-stirring stick was the main reason why he went to prison.

Early the next morning, Li Shimin issued an order to march the army and take Black Rock City.

In this expedition, except for Xue Rengui who led 10,000 troops to garrison Trapped Yang City, the rest of the people were all dispatched and led 140,000 troops to Black Rock City. Luo Yi also followed, but before setting out, he had already arranged everything, so that the old mother and Yahuan would serve Wang Yan.

Blackstone City.

After two days of marching, the army finally reached its destination.

Even if there are still snowflakes in the sky, it cannot shake the determination of the soldiers to conquer the west, and they cannot hinder the pace of progress.

Outside the Black Rock City, there was a white expanse, red lines appeared in the sky, and gradually advanced towards the Black Rock City, and not long after, Li Shimin arrived at the bottom of the Black Rock City with 140,000 people.

Xiao Wenlong had already gotten the news and was ready to defend the city, but the reinforcements had not yet arrived, which made him a little uneasy.

"It's a good time... Brute, this time you can be ashamed, and when the siege begins, no one is allowed to go to the city. ”

Xiao Wenlong stood next to the brute bull, hearing this, the brute bull nodded again and again, and said: "Marshal, please rest assured, I will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

In private, he is called Brother Xiao Wenlong, but on formal occasions, he is still called an official position.

Xiao Wenlong said: "Then it's up to you." ”

"Their strength is about the same as ours, and they should not attack the other walls, so as long as we hold this side, we will be all right; When their forces are reduced, we will rush out and fight them to the death, and I believe that we will be able to win a great victory. ”

Under the city, after setting up the formation, a general rushed out of the military formation, in white robe and silver spear, over thirty years old, with a majestic expression, looking proudly above the Black Rock City. Especially Xiao Wenlong shook it from the brute bull, and shouted loudly: "Who is Xiao Wenlong, Luo Tong has long admired the name, and he dares to fight." ”

"Luo Tong, Ben Shuai has also admired your name for a long time."

Xiao Wenlong shouted loudly: "General, later, Ben Shuai will come to take your life!" ”
