Chapter 376: The Battle Before the War (17)
"Come, come, Lord Ling Jing, please!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty. In order to express his gratitude to Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong specially set up a banquet in Luoyang Palace to entertain Ling Jing.www.biquge.info Ling Jing was also out of politeness, so he responded to Wang Shi in vain. During the banquet, Wang Shichong motioned to two maids with delicate faces to pour wine and feed Ling Qing:
"Come on! You two quickly pour wine and feed Ling Jing, Lord Ling Jing is a great talent! If you wait for Lord Ling Jing well, the widow will reward you to Lord Ling Jing as a lady. "In Wang Shichong's Luoyang Palace, there are many beauties, even Wang Shichong's favorite concubine may not be able to get close to Wang Shichong many times, so she naturally used all her strength to please Ling Jing. And he also beckoned two maids to sit on his lap, and the maids were fed and toasted.
"Your Majesty, eat this."
"Good!"
"Your Majesty, have a drink."
"Good! You're so good! Wang Shichong was eating and drinking, his hands were not honest, he would either touch the maid's buttocks for a while, or touch the maid's face. The two who provoked it were women who screamed badly from time to time.
"The Emperor's ......" Wang Shichong was playing by himself while carefully observing Ling Jing's demeanor and actions.
"Oops! Lord Ling Jing, you drink! Have a drink! ”
"Ahh Girl, there is a hand underneath. ”
"Lord Ling Jing, come, eat this piece, this piece is delicious."
"Ahh Girl, how can this be? Thank you, girl, come and ...... by yourself" Ling Jing's face was flushed by the two maids, and he desperately blocked the wine and food that the two maids came over, making his official uniform sloppy. Wang Shichong looked a little funny himself-isn't this Ling Jing a man? Such a beautiful woman turned out to be like a flood beast in his eyes, or maybe this Ling Jing had a hidden illness. Thinking about it, Wang Shichong looked at Ling Jing's sensitive parts. There was a strange look in his eyes. Perhaps seeing Wang Shichong's strange gaze, Ling Jing looked at Wang Shichong:
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?" Wang Shichong smiled awkwardly:
"Oh! Nothing, nothing. Yes! Lord Ling Jing, the widow wants to ask the adult, why are the adults indifferent to this beauty? ”
"Oh! In Xia Pingsheng, he only likes books and work, and doesn't like women. Since ancient times, there has been a way, that gentle township is the hero's mound, so I don't want to waste a good time in the pink boudoir, please forgive your majesty. Wang Shichong thought to himself - this Ling Jing is either a nerd who can only drop his bookbag, or he is really ambitious. Wang Shichong suddenly felt that it was not interesting, so he let the four maids out.
"Ahh Lord Ling Jing, there is one thing that the widow doesn't understand, and I hope that Lord Ling Jing can solve the widow's doubts. Ling Jing sat respectfully opposite Wang Shichong:
"Your Majesty, please."
"Oh! A few months ago, when Li Tang attacked the ants, he sent a letter of help to King Dou, but I don't know why, King Dou has not moved, but I don't know why this time, King Dou took the initiative to send an adult to contact him? After listening to Wang Shichong's question, Ling Jing recalled in his heart the scene when he discussed with Dou Jiande in Leshou, and at the same time thought about how to deal with Wang Shichong's question in his heart.
"We're looking at the king."
"Ahh Ling Aiqing, you're here! Sit! Come and sit down beside the king. Dou Jiande greeted Ling Jing warmly, and Ling Jing was flattered.
"King Xie!" When Ling Jing sat next to Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande muttered softly in Ling Jing's ear:
"Ling Jing, Liu Wuzhou, who is in the Turks, has secretly sent someone to contact this king, saying that he hopes that this king will send troops and send troops with him to deal with Li Tang and recover the lost land of Mayi." After hearing Dou Jiande's words, Ling Jing's heart was like the sea, turbulent. Ling Jing didn't speak, and continued to listen to Dou Jiande's words quietly:
"Humph! According to the eyeliner report sent by this king to the area of Dingxiang in the Turks, Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang did not have a good time in the Turks! Now, the Turkic Lili Khan had become wary of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, and had been putting pressure on Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, so Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang couldn't sit still at first, so they sent secret envoys to contact this king, hoping to join forces with this king and deal with Li Tang together. After Dou Jiande finished speaking, his eyes looked at Ling Jing, Ling Jing knew that this was Dou Jiande's habitual action, and signaled that he could express his opinion.
"What does the king mean?" Dou Jiande said to Ling Jing:
"Ling Jing, this king knows in his heart that you have been deflated under Cao Dan's decision-making recently, and you must be very unhappy in your heart, right!" Ling Jing heard Dou Jiande say what was in his heart, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Ling Jing, you have a heartfelt word to this king, what do you think this king should do in the current situation?" Ling Jing said softly to Dou Jiande:
"The king, Weichen thinks that in the current situation, we should unite with Li Tang, take advantage of the time when Li Tang has not completely unified the world, go west to seize Wang Shichong's city first, and then go south to annex the territory of Fugongtuo, and form a situation where Li Tang divides the world. Because, it is impossible for us to coexist peacefully with Li Tang. After listening to Ling Jing's words, Dou Jiande nodded.
"Ling Jing! Thy words go to the heart of this king. So this king has something for you to do now, are you willing? Ling Jing immediately kowtowed and said:
"The King's command."
"This time, you went to Luoyang, the purpose is to stabilize Wang Shichong first, let Wang Shichong fight to the death with Li Tang in front, and when this king took Wang Shichong and Li Tang's soldiers and horses into a stalemate, this king led the soldiers and horses to copy his Wang Shichong's back road from the rear." Ling Jing tried his best to calm himself down—'These words can never be explained to Wang Shichong, so they can only avoid the important and light. Thinking of this, Ling Jing respectfully said to Wang Shichong:
"Hahahaha! Your Majesty, this time our king faction is allied with Your Majesty, and our king thinks that Li Tang is really too deceitful, so he sent his subordinates here! "Wang Shichong squinted at Ling Jing - 'Hmph! The widow and Dou Jiande but if they stand on the opposite side and immediately take out a knife and kill each other, how can they have such a good heart, at the beginning, the widow attacked Dou Jiande and occupied one of Dou Jiande's cities, but Dou Jiande took two cities of the widow in turn. However, now is the time to use troops against Li Tang, and it is okay to form an alliance with Dou Jiande for the time being. However, there may be some things about Dou Jiande, but Ling Jing didn't tell me. ’
"Oh! Then I really thank King Dou for his kindness, but the widow still has one more thing he wants to ask Lord Ling Jing for advice. ”
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Then Li Tang's army is strong, I'm afraid with the power of our Luoyang and King Dou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to resist!" Ling Jing said softly:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, Dingyang Khan Liu Wuzhou has already sent news from the Turks, hoping to join forces with our king, and our king has sent the staff servant Wei to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan, I hope Li Tang can stop here, how about we divide the Central Plains world equally?"
"What? King Dou has already sent the staff servant Wei to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan...... "Wang Shichong heard Ling Jing say that King Dou had sent the staff servant Wei to Chang'an to meet Li Yuan, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat - this is forcing Li Yuan to do something to us Luoyang!" Dou Jiande, you kid is poisonous enough. Chang'an, the Taiji Palace where Li Yuan is located:
"Bastard, what is he Dou Jiande, he actually wants me to make peace with Wang Shichong, and when the time comes, I will divide the world with Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande and the auxiliary prince who occupies Jiangnan. It's delusional. After Li Yuan heard Wei Zhihua's words, he immediately fainted, and ordered on the spot to punish Wei Zhihua's staff for forty boards and expel him from Chang'an, Pei Lin and Xiao Yu, who were beside Li Yuan, immediately stepped forward and persuaded:
"Your Majesty is angry, since ancient times, the two countries have moved troops, and when they don't move!" Li Yuan directly threw the recital in front of him:
"What two countries, I have the ambition to dominate the world, he Dou Jiande will be destroyed by me sooner or later, immediately give me the Wei Department to paint the shelf, and take the forty big boards seriously, hurry up." After Wanyue heard Li Yuan's will, she immediately beckoned the Li Tang guards in front of the hall to put Wei out of the painting. Wei Chuhui shouted:
"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your life! Yes! Yes! Yes! Wanyue knew that Li Yuan was in a bad mood, so she deliberately let the guards beat hard and hard, and ordered the guards to draw a heavy hand on Wei. Wei Chuhui's screams calmed Li Yuan's anger a little, and Li Yuan said to Pei Lin and Xiao Yu:
"Immediately issued an order, ordering the King of Qin to march immediately and compete with Wang Shichong." Pei Lin and Xiao Yu immediately followed Li Yuan's will and issued an order to Li Shimin stationed in Jiexia County, ordering him to march immediately, of course, Pei Lin and Xiao Yu did not forget to send news to Li Jiancheng.
After Li Jiancheng heard the news of Chang'an in Taiyuan through Pei Lin and Xiao Yu's secret letters, he immediately ordered Qu Tutong and Xu Shiji of Wei Zhengtong Pass to write a letter:
"Xuancheng, you hurry up and repair a book for the palace, tell Qu Tutong and Xu Shiji, and tell them to strengthen their defense, once our army and Wang Shichong have a conflict, Tongguan will definitely be Wang Shichong's main direction of attack."
After Li Shimin received Li Yuan's holy decree, he immediately flew a pigeon to pass a letter to the eldest grandson Wuji, ordering the eldest grandson Wuji to act quickly, so that Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda could quickly take action and break away from Wang Shichong's team. After the eldest grandson Wuji received Li Shimin's secret letter, he immediately called the eldest grandson:
"Aqi, you immediately go to Luoyang City, contact my second brother, and ask him to lend Wang Xuanying the antidote, and order Wang Xuanying to let Wang Shichong immediately send troops to attack Tongguan."
"Attack Tongguan, uh! Young master, our task is not to divide and win over Qin Shubao, Cheng Biting Jin, Niu Jinda and other former Sui and Wagang old generals, why are they suddenly going to attack Tongguan......" Changsun Qi was a little confused.
"Aki! This time, we really want to divide and win over Qin Shubao, Cheng Yanjin, Niu Jinda and other former Sui and Wagang veterans, which is not wrong, but we also have a purpose, that is, to weaken Wang Shichong's wings. You tell my second brother and ask him to tell Wang Xuanying that it is best to let Shan Xiongxin be the commander of this campaign against Tongguan. "Changsun Qi seems to understand a little:
"Yes! Young master, Aki understood. ”
"Give this secret letter to my second brother and ask him to forward it to Du Zhenglun, who will teach them how to do it."
"Yes!"
