Chapter 52: Turmoil in the Eastern Capital (7)
King Yue lost power, King Zhao became emperor, Li Xuanba originally thought that he had seen hope, he wanted to do something with enthusiasm, but what he was waiting for was full of disappointment. He was disappointed in Yang Gao's personality and his choice.
Knowing that Qiushuang died tragically, Li Xuanba's eyes became extremely cold, he looked up at the sky, and said without a trace of emotion: "Your Majesty, it's almost noon, and there is no news from Hanjiacang City, don't you think it's strange?" Since he tore his face, Li Xuanba didn't even bother to use honorifics.
Yang Gao got carried away and didn't deliberately pay attention to the hour, hearing Li Xuanba's words, his face changed slightly, and he ordered Li Xuanba to be besieged again, and then sent two cavalrymen to Hanjiacang City to inquire about the news.
Hanjiacang City was in the northeast corner of the palace, very close to the West Garden, and in less than half an hour, the two cavalrymen hurried back. They didn't know the specific situation of Hanjiacang City, because they couldn't enter it at all: "Your Majesty, Hanjiacang City is occupied by the Xingyang army, and the king should be trapped in the city. ”
Li Xuanba was still trapped in Xiyuan, Yang Gao didn't seem too nervous, he got off the horse, and under the protection of his relatives, he walked to the pavilion and said coldly: "Until now, do you dare to say that you don't have a heart of disobedience?" I don't believe that the Xingyang Army will be able to turn the tide overnight. ”
"Weichen, this is called unintentionally inserting willows into the willows." Li Xuanba smiled slightly, shook his head and sighed: "The Xingyang Army has indeed dug the tunnel, but it was originally prepared for King Yue and Wang Shichong, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to ascend the throne, and the hard work of the Xingyang Army was not in vain, and it was used in that tunnel after all." ”
Li Xuanba has always been vigilant against King Yue and Wang Shichong, if history has not changed, Li Xuanba still wants to lead the Xingyang army out of Luoyang, naturally it is impossible to let the Xingyang army be in a besieged situation, it just so happens that the Xingyang army has nothing to do except training. Li Xuanba asked them to secretly dig a few secret passages leading to the outside of Hanjiacang City.
However, what made Li Xuanba feel ridiculous was that he also considered how to rescue Yang Ling and Yang Gao together.
"Even if the Xingyang Army dug the secret passage, it would not be possible for them to react so quickly." Yang Gao's face was ashamed, and he said casually, and immediately looked at Li Xuanba coldly. frowned and said, "Could it be that you guessed my plan?" ”
"How can Weichen be so smart." Since they were all waiting for news from the other side, Li Xuanba didn't mind making it clear to Yang Gao: "Wechen has said it many times, and Wechen is very afraid of death." ”
In a desperate situation, with no fear on his face, what is the appearance of being afraid of death? Yang Yuan seems to have no good impression of Li Xuanba by nature, and secretly slanders: You can really pretend. However, Yang Gao would not order Li Xuanba to be killed for the time being, which made her relax a lot and stand beside Yang Yuan with her head down.
When he went out today, Weichen's eyebrows jumped very much. Wechen is worried about the unexpected. Let the people in the house go to the barracks to take a look, those are all very strategic talents, Wang Shichong's camp has just moved, and the Xingyang army is afraid to leave the camp. Li Xuanba didn't know what Yang Yuan was thinking, and still pretended to say: "If it weren't for today's incident, Weichen would have planned to recommend them to Your Majesty." ”
Of course, Li Xuanba's brows didn't jump, he just wanted to deliberately anger Yang Gao with the eyes of the sky,
"So to speak. Should I thank you? Hearing this, Yang Gao showed a bright smile. It looks extremely clean and pure in the bright sun. But what he said couldn't make people feel that his heart was the same as his face: "Zhang Xutuo was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, and the Xingyang army didn't dare to make a mistake, if I killed you here, would they still dare to rebel?" ”
"Since Your Majesty mentioned General Zhang, Weichen is a little curious." Li Xuanba ignored Yang Gao's threat. Said like a curious baby: "What role did Your Majesty play in the matter of General Zhang being imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison?" ”
"Zhang Xutuo is extremely stupid, he is as close to the king of Yue as you are, and he is unwilling to be loyal to me." Yang Gao trusted the people around him very much, and said without concealment: King Yue is cowardly and incompetent. I just let those ministers participate in the performance, and he had to put Zhang Xutuo in prison. ”
"In this way, Wang Shichong was able to return to Luoyang, which is also the credit of His Majesty!" Rao is Yang Gao is ruthless, which makes Li Xuanba very sad, but he still has to admire Yang Gao for having such a scheming at such a young age, which can really be described as a wise and close demon.
"It's a pity that I still despise you." Yang Gao pursed his lips and turned to Yang Ling and said, "Sister, did you bring him to Xiyuan to let him hide with the help of the terrain?" Have you forgotten who you are as the eldest princess? ”
Yuxiu Palace is surrounded by high walls, once Li Xuanba enters, he will definitely die, but unfortunately Yang Ling did not expect that Yang Gao had already guessed her mind, before she and Li Xuanba entered the West Garden, there were already countless soldiers hidden in the West Garden.
Yang Ling looked at Yang Gao with pity and said, "I once told you that no matter when, Zhongyongwei will help you, didn't what he said just now make you feel a little remorseful?" Seeing that Yang Gao's face was flat and unmoved, Yang Ling sighed lightly and said, "You have won everything, why don't you even let go of his life?" ”
"If it had been at the beginning, I would have considered sparing him, but now it's different." Yang Gao's gaze fell on Li Xuanba, and he said very sincerely: "You are indeed very smart, so smart that I am a little afraid, so I dare not let you live." ”
"Little fat man, do you really dare to kill me?" Li Xuanba saw that Yang Gao was putting on an adult appearance at any time, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that you are willing to bury yourself and the people of the entire Luoyang City for me?" ”
"When death is on the verge of death, you still want to threaten me with words? I'm not the student I was studying at the Kokukoto anymore. Known as the little fat man, Yang Gao's killing intent gradually rose, and he said indifferently: "I need your head now, and please be loyal and brave." ”
"Weichen knows that he looks ugly, and he is really embarrassed to lend his head, what if he scares the child? Even if you can't scare the child, you may be scared of flowers and plants, right? Facing the soldiers who were gradually approaching the pavilion, Li Xuanba said in a good time: "By the way, Weichen forgot to tell His Majesty one thing, Weichen has an unsuccessful younger brother, who is also in Hanjiacang City at this time. ”
If Yang Gao can ignore Li Xuanba's previous threat, but Li Xuanba's last sentence, he must take it seriously, so he raised his hand to signal the soldiers to stand by.
"The Wagang thief army is besieging the city, you don't dare to transfer the soldiers defending the city away, there will definitely not be too many soldiers in Hanjiacang City, and you have no confidence in whether they can defeat the Xingyang army, so I am in a hurry to use my head to make the Xingyang army give up resistance." Li Xuanba looked at Yang Gao's deflated appearance, he was very happy, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good way, but little fat man, do you think Zhiyun will surrender as you wish when he sees my head?"
