Li Xing personally went to Dongjun to deliver the news, but when Li Xuanba received the news, he did not show joy as Wei Zheng guessed, but sighed lightly, didn't say anything, and let Li Xing go to rest first.

Li Xuanba's reaction made Li Xing puzzled, but he didn't ask too much, bowed down and retreated, and was taken to rest by a forbidden army soldier.

The matter of summoning Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to Luoyang, in Wei Zheng's view, was to attract talents and assist King Zhao, but in fact, Li Xuanba's purpose was not only this.

If the giant wheel of history cannot be changed, and the Li family really rises up and takes over the world, then the changes in Xuanwumen in the future may also be inevitable. And Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are one of the planners of the Xuanwumen Change.

Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, Li Xuanba is more inclined to his eldest brother, and he doesn't want Xuanwumen's brothers to kill each other.

Perhaps in historical records, Li Jiancheng's performance is unsightly, but after really getting acquainted with Li Jiancheng, Li Xuanba feels that in addition to being too indecisive, Li Jiancheng's talent is not inferior to Li Shimin.

After thinking about it in the tent for a while, Li Xuanba sighed again and went to Zhang Xutuo's big tent.

"General Zhang, there is no war now, I want to go back to the Eastern Capital." Entering the big tent, Li Xuanba directly explained his intentions and said calmly: "There are some things in the house that I need to go back to deal with." ”

"The Tang Mansion is not in Luoyang, what can you do when you go back?" Zhang Xutuo was thinking about recruiting soldiers, and said without raising his head: "You have only been in Dongjun for a few months, and you have been back a few times, have you considered the feelings of other soldiers?" ”

Li Xuanba smiled and said flatteringly: "I have no errands in the army, I wasted a lot of food in vain, the first two times were summoned by His Majesty, and I had to go back, this time there is really something." ”

Zhang Xutuo glanced up at Li Xuanba, frowned, and said: "You are Your Majesty's favorite minister, if you insist on going back, I can't do anything, but I hope that you will not be disturbed by feelings and delay your future." ”

Li Xuanba was stunned, heard what Zhang Xutuo meant, and hurriedly explained: "General Zhang, this time I went back to the Eastern Capital, it's really not for the princess. ”

Zhang Xutuo obviously didn't believe it, waved his hand, and said, "Go and come back quickly, be careful that Your Majesty will know and punish you." ”

Li Xuanba scratched his head, saluted, and withdrew from the big tent. I thought: Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, at least there is a reason to go back to Luoyang.

"I owe you a favor, when will it be a head!" Zhang Xutuo shook his head and sighed, and then continued to think about recruitment.

The transportation in ancient times was very inconvenient, Li Xuanba instructed Lieutenant Xiao to prepare the ship back to Luoyang, and he returned to the camp tent, looked at the overlord gun on the side of the tree, and thought about his future plans.

The overlord gun was originally Luo Shixin's weapon, and it was asked for by Li Xuanba. Luo Shixin was worried about how to repay Li Xuanba, so naturally he would not refuse, and personally sent the overlord gun to Li Xuanba's account.

Now Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui are all placed in the Tang State Mansion, but Li Xuanba knows that if he wants to defend the Great Sui, it is far from enough to rely on these three people.

Wenchen can govern the country, but it is difficult to determine the state, and in the troubled times, the generals who will lead the troops to fight are more important than anything else.

Zhang Xutuo can lead troops and fight, but he is only loyal to Yang Guang, even if he can save him from Li Mi in the future, it is difficult to say whether he will lead his troops to Jiangdu to save him.

As for the other generals, Li Xuanba was not familiar with them, and he didn't dare to make friends rashly, as Fang Xuanling said, Li Xuanba didn't want Yang Guang to be aware of his intentions.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuanba only felt upset, picked up the overlord gun casually, and danced in the tent. The overlord gun of more than 100 catties is like a wooden stick in Li Xuanba's hands

When he returned to the Tang State Mansion, Li Xuanba suddenly became a little nervous.

In the name of King Zhao, he invited Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui to Luoyang, but he was not sure to persuade them to serve the imperial court, especially the imperial court now separated and separated.

Moreover, Li Xuanba really doesn't know how to deal with people.

Wei Zheng and several people came to Li Xuanba's room one after another, and Li Xuanba greeted them one by one, after all, he met Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui for the first time, and it was inevitable that he was a little embarrassed, but Wei Zheng was intimate with them and had no barriers.

"Childe doesn't have to be nervous." Seeing Li Xuanba's nervous appearance, Wei Zheng said with a smile: "The two of them have agreed to stay in Luoyang and listen to the orders of the prince." ”

"This is a mistake, I invited the two gentlemen to come to Luoyang in order to let the two of them display their talents and serve the imperial court." Li Xuanba barely calmed down, and said to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui: "Xuanba heard that the two of them are talented, I don't know if the two of them are willing to serve the imperial court?" ”

Fang Xuanling saw that Li Xuanba was still so cautious at this time, praised it in his heart, and replied: "Childe's intentions, Xuancheng has already told you that Keming and I are willing to serve the court in Gongzi's mouth." Du Ruhui also nodded in agreement.

When Li Xuanba heard this, he understood that the two of them already knew their intentions, and they no longer covered it up, and said: "Your Majesty has brought the elites in the court to Jiangdu, and now the defenders of Luoyang are weak, and they can only rely on the strong city walls. ”

"As far as I know, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Luoyang, as long as the generals command properly, Luoyang can be described as impregnable, how can it not be defended?" Du Ruhui said confidently.

"Why does Childe think that there will be thieves attacking Luoyang?" Fang Xuanling didn't answer Li Xuanba's question, and asked rhetorically.

"Since Xuanba plans to introduce the two to King Zhao, he naturally has to confirm the talents of the two first." Li Xuanba's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Moreover, if the traitor wants to subvert the Great Sui, he will inevitably try to capture Daxing and Luoyang, I asked casually, what's so strange?" ”

Fang Xuanling thought that Li Xuanba would have some unique opinions, but seeing that he just mentioned it casually, he smiled slightly and stopped talking.

In fact, if Li Xuanba knew that Fang Xuanling and they had promised to stay in Luoyang, he would not have come back from thousands of miles at all, first, he didn't want Yang Guang to find anything, and second, Wagangzhai has not moved, Li Xuanba doesn't know if Li Mi has defected to Wagangzhai, he is very worried about Zhang Xutuo's safety.

"Xuanba came back in a hurry this time, just to see the two gentlemen." Li Xuanba realized that his attitude was a little cold, and said with a smile: "After receiving the news from Mr. Wei, Xuanba rushed all the way back to Luoyang, his body was a little tired, and he hoped that the two gentlemen would forgive me." ”

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were indeed a little disappointed in Li Xuanba's attitude, but since Li Xuanba apologized, they naturally didn't have a good face, and they all smiled and said, "Childe is polite." ”

"Before Your Majesty left, Luoyang was handed over to King Yue to be responsible, aren't you two curious, why don't I ask the princess to introduce you to him?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Xuanba pulled up the topic.

Talented people like to show their talents, and Li Xuanba gave them this opportunity.

Sure enough, Du Ruhui said: "If King Yue reuses the two of us, I'm afraid that we won't have a good time in the future, if he doesn't use us, wouldn't it be a waste of Gongzi's hard work?" ”

Li Xuanba smiled: "What do you mean by this? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "If King Zhao inherits the unification, how can he let us go who serve King Yue?" ”

This question is not difficult, the two of them can easily answer it, Li Xuanba is not surprised at all. In fact, Li Xuanba asked such questions to appease them, so that they would not be despised.

Li Xuanba held back his sleepiness and chatted with a few people until late at night, until Wei Zheng couldn't bear it and persuaded a few words, Li Xuanba reluctantly said goodbye to Fang Xuanling and the others, and let them go back to the room to rest.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui couldn't see Li Xuanba's thoughts, but they didn't care about this, what they cared about was that Li Xuanba really valued them!
