Chapter 621: Where Are You?

The eldest grandson Wuji peeked at Li Xian, and then asked tentatively, "Lord...... The crown prince Li Jiancheng died, according to reason, although you are the king of Yan, but since you are still an official of the Tang Dynasty for the time being, you naturally have to salute in front of the coffin, you ......"

Li Xian glanced at him, put down the scroll in his hand and smiled: "Auxiliary, you are really not a qualified lobbyist. I held it in my big tent for a long time, and I only held out such a sentence? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled awkwardly and said: "Lord, Lord Ye asked me to persuade you not to enter Chang'an City, the minister thought of countless reasons to dissuade you before coming, but I found that these reasons didn't seem to carry much weight, but since the minister came, he had to say something." Thinking about it, I still reluctantly said it for this reason. ”

"There is no shame in saluting the dead."

Li Xian waved his hand and said, "I ask you, do you think I shouldn't go into the city?" ”

"Yes!"

The eldest grandson Wuji sat up straight and said solemnly: "Although going to Chang'an is a little more dangerous, it is definitely not without benefits. When Li Yuan lost his son, his mind was inevitably relaxed, and it was the easiest time to relax his guard, and he must attach great importance to the lord. The lord can just test Li Yuan's mind, of course...... That's not the most important thing. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "The important officials in the court must be divided into two factions, one group of people welcomes you into the city, and the other group of people oppose you entering the city. If the lord can use the people who are available, and the people who are not available should remember that there is a chance to get rid of them in the future, and he will naturally get twice the result with half the effort in the future. Now the courtiers in the Tang Dynasty are definitely unstable, the prince is dead, Li Shimin has fled, and the Tang Dynasty is now in danger of no one inheriting it, and those old foxes must be watching and waiting. ”

Li Xian smiled and said, "You really didn't come to be a lobbyist. ”

He pointed to the door and said, "Let's see how you deal with the Ye family in a while." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said seriously: "The minister is just being a lobbyist, but he is not persuading the lord not to enter the city." Instead, he advised the lord to be cautious, Xie Yingdeng had approached the Ye family before, and he said that the lord planned to bring only eighteen horsemen into the city, and it was too hasty anyway. The minister thought that since he was going to test Li Yuan, it was better to simply test Li Yuan's bottom line, and the lord led the army to the city of Chang'an...... In this way, those courtiers who target the lord will jump out. Moreover, Li Yuan's attitude will also become clearer. ”

"You're really a bit presumptuous."

Li Xian waved his hand and said: "Leading the troops to the city of Chang'an, it seems to be very arrogant." But if you think about it in another direction, will anyone think that they will bring troops when they are alone? Those courtiers will find an excuse, they just need to babble like flies and say that Lone has evil thoughts, do they want to reason with them like a group of Confucians? Tell them that Lone didn't plan to go into the city this time, and even if he did, it would be a matter for the future? ”

"Lone's tens of thousands of troops and thousands of warships are parked here, wouldn't it be better if Lone wants to take advantage of the fire to rob Li Shimin and collect the profits of the fishermen when he is attacking the city?"

Li Xian stood up, turned on the lights a little and said, "The city is bound to enter, but this time I will not do anything when I enter the city alone." It will not win over those courtiers, nor will it take the opportunity to exclude those who target the lonely. ”

He didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but the eldest grandson Wuji was such a smart person immediately understood.

"Got it!"

He nodded and said, "After the lord enters the city, the army will put pressure on the front. ”

Li Xian smiled and glanced approvingly at the eldest grandson Wuji: "Gu has already explained, three days after Gu enters the city, Luo Shixin, Cheng Zhijie, and Xiongkuohai will lead their troops to Chang'an City." In the third day, almost those who couldn't hold back were going to move, which just gave Gu Tibing an excuse to move forward. ”

"It's the minister's shallow thinking."

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "It's just ...... The minister still felt that it was a bit risky. At least half of the officials in the Tang Dynasty are now prejudiced against you. They are all looking for an opportunity to wait for an opportunity, if some villains see that you only bring a dozen guards into the city and do something dirty behind your back, even if you can't hurt the lord, wouldn't it be disgusting? ”

"Lone just wants to see if anyone is so bold. Only brought eighteen people into the city, and Lone just gave them a chance to look good. Some people will always be blinded by what is on the surface,"

Li Xian looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and asked very seriously: "If Lone is assassinated in Chang'an City...... What would Li Yuan think? ”

"Those people don't necessarily have the guts."

The eldest grandson Wuji said.

"There will be."

Li Xian smiled, meaningful.

……

……

The eldest grandson Wuji took a deep breath when he came out of the big tent, and he knew what the lord's sentence would definitely mean. As long as the lord enters Chang'an City, as long as the lord wants to, then there will definitely be.

He looked at Ye Huaisleeve, who was standing in the distance, walked over and smiled apologetically: "You know, if the lord makes a decision, it will be difficult to persuade anyone to move." Besides, a person who changed his mind because of a few words from a courtier seems to be too unassertive. So...... I failed. ”

Ye Huaisleeve slowly shook his head and said, "I know that you will not succeed, and from the beginning, I didn't expect you to really persuade the lord not to enter Chang'an City." You are the person who knows Li Yuan the most in Yanyun Village, and you are also the person who knows the big city best, so I have to let you go to the lord, and I have to let you remind you of everything that needs to be reminded. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, you are not a man, otherwise I am afraid that there is really no place for me." ”

"Mr. Changsun praised it falsely, but as a courtier, although I am a woman, I still have to do my best. The lord is honored alone and the entire Yanyun Village is glorious, speaking of which, I am afraid that no one in the world dares to say that he is smarter than the lord, so what I have to do is not to try to prove that the lord is wrong, but to try my best to consider what the lord has neglected and omitted. ”

Ye Huaichong smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't explain it directly to Mr. Changsun." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said, "Even if you don't come to me, I will also go to see the lord." ”

"Just kill that guy again, and everything is going well."

Eldest Sun Wuji whispered, then shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I just don't understand, Xie Yingdeng also asked the lord a few days ago, why did he let that person go?" Even if that person was already panicking like a lost dog, as long as Li Yuan still had a little bit of forgiveness for that person, he would soon be able to make a comeback. If you don't do it at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find opportunities in the future. ”

"You and I can't figure out a lot of the lord's decisions."

Ye Huaisleeve looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and said seriously word by word: "But there are some things, after all, we as courtiers still have to think more about the lord." ”

She said seemingly unintentionally: "Although I don't care about the secret spy anymore, I still know a lot of news before others." The day before yesterday, Li Xiaogong caught up with Li Shimin's remnants on the north bank of Fengshui, Li Shimin's militia was few and morale was unavailable, and it was the time of half-crossing, so he was defeated, and less than 300 of the more than 3,000 cavalry were left to escort him and escape. Li Daozong obviously deliberately showed mercy to his subordinates, and he used 14,000 elite cavalry to deal with a remnant of the army, and the failure to completely annihilate it is already very telling. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's face changed greatly, and then he shook his head and said, "I can't hide this matter." ”

"Why hide it?"

Ye Huaisleeve turned around and walked in the direction of his big tent, and his voice floated from afar: "It is enough to know faster than the lord, and only Mr. Changsun is the most suitable person to do this matter." ”

"yes......"

Eldest Sun Wuji sighed and said, "Revenge is still barely a good excuse after all. ”

Ye Huaisleeve sat down on the chair after walking into the big tent, and muttered to himself: "You said that this kind of thing is always punished, so let me take this punishment." Before I go back to Jiangnan, I have to do more things for you no matter what. I know that you kept Li Shimin so that Li Yuan still had thoughts in his heart, and you just happened to be able to keep a short distance from Li Yuan. Before the world of Datang is unified, you don't want to make your identity clear. But there are so many variables that you don't want to make up your mind...... I'll help you. ”

In the Yanyun Jingqi camp far away from her big tent, Cheng Zhijie looked at Luo Shixin and Xiong Kuohai in front of him and hesitated and asked, "Won't the Lord Guild be angry about this matter?" ”

"Anger is for sure"

Luo Shixin thought for a while and said, "But what Ye said is right, this matter can't be delayed." Although Li Shimin looks extremely embarrassed now, if he wants to turn over, it is just Li Yuan's words. Before Li Yuan said this, let's let him never have a chance to say that sentence again. ”

"I'll Go"

The corners of Luo Shixin's mouth twitched and said, "I will take this punishment." ”

……

……

Sixty miles southeast of Fengshui is a large continuous mountain, which is full of mystery and horror. Even the bravest hunters in the nearby villages did not dare to go deep into the mountains and forests, where there were not only jackals, tigers and leopards, but also many legendary forbidden places.

By a stream in the dense forest, Li Shimin took off his iron helmet and threw it aside, and sat down against a big rock with exhaustion, his throat so thirsty that he could almost smoke. But he didn't dare to drink the water from the stream that was close at hand, and just now the two cavalrymen of the Split Tiger Battalion scooped up water to drink, and it didn't take long for him to bleed to death. No one could say what poison was in this water, but everyone would rather have a dry throat than try it again.

Seeing that there were less than three hundred horsemen around him, Li Shimin smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Why?"

He looked at his own reflection in the stream and muttered, "Why do you want to hide it? You are the person next to the prince, but you never told you that you were one of the four commanders of his personal guard. At the beginning, I said that I could help you and let you dance a natural dance in front of the prince, but when you danced, the prince was really fascinated by you. ”

He paused, anger growing in his eyes.

"You didn't do it, even if you still want to help you revive the family, what else can you do?"

He didn't know that the crown prince had died on the wall of Xuanwu Gate, and if he knew, maybe he wouldn't have fled again, but went to find Li Xiaogong, who had been chasing him all the way. It's a pity that he didn't expect anything that he didn't wait for her to make a move after waiting for so long, and not long after he left, she cut the prince's neck with a knife.

"Your Highness"

Wei Chigong walked to Li Shimin's side and persuaded in a low voice: "You can't go further into the mountain, our weapons and armor are damaged, and no one's quiver is still full, this mountain is too sinister, how can His Highness's daughter be in danger?" ”

"Dangerous?"

Li Shimin looked at Wei Chigong and said with a smile: "Lone has been taking risks all his life, see if this danger is worth it." And in order to survive, it seems a little ridiculous whether it is worth it or not. ”

More than ten miles away from him, a thin Tang Army soldier in leather armor jumped down from a big tree, stabbed a knife into the neck of a Bai Zewei scout, and then the soldier quickly ripped off the scout's clothes with his hands and feet, and brought all the dry food, the soldier glanced at the sun, roughly distinguished the direction, wiped the blood on his face, and continued to move forward firmly.

She was alone, and she survived the encirclement and suppression of so many elite soldiers. Although she had a broken arm, and although she looked embarrassed, it was really difficult for her to die if she didn't want to die.

"Where are you?"

Dugu Yirou took a bite of dry food and looked tired. Her face, on the back of her hands, and on her exposed skin were covered with tiny cuts, and her face was as dirty as a craftsman digging for coal.

"Where are you?"

She asked again, but no one could give her an answer.
