Chapter 727: Plotting Rebellion (2)

Li Shimin recalled the words that Han Shicao said in Han Shicao's big tent today. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Han Shicao's words sounded nothing on the surface, but not a word reminded Li Shimin that this team was pulled up by him Han Shicao.

Li Shimin endured his anger in Han Shicao's tent and did not attack because he didn't want the contradiction between himself and Han Shicao to be seen by everyone below.

"Lord...... Something has been unusual lately. ”

His subordinate staff Zhao Wu leaned over and said in a low voice: "Before today, the minister didn't expect this layer ...... But after listening to what Han Shixuan said today, Chen suddenly thought of a possibility. If what the minister thinks is true, then the events of the recent days can be explained clearly. ”

"Just say it!"

Li Shimin waved his hand a little impatiently.

Knowing that Li Shimin was in a very bad mood, Zhao Wu didn't dare to say anything more: "The minister is thinking...... The person who assassinated Han Shixuan may not be the secret spy of the Yanyun Thief Military Inspectorate at all. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The minister dared to speculate...... That person, could it be Han Shixu who was placed by the lord's side? Then Han Shixu asked the assassin to assassinate him, and then kill people. Of course, he must have promised the Assassin that he would not injure his life. But how could this man not die? Only when the Assassin is dead, and there is no clue, will people be cranky...... If this matter was planned by Han Shixu from beginning to end, then it would be explained. ”

Zhao Wu said cautiously: "First I came to find you, the lord, and argued with the lord about the withdrawal of troops and the siege of the city, and then he pretended to be angry, and then arranged for the assassins to ......."

Li Shimin's face changed, and then he scolded in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense!" Although General Han and Gu have differences in military affairs, General Han's loyalty to Gu should not be easily doubted. If he has the opposite mind, why wait for loneliness in Xicheng County? He conquered an entire county, and he could stand on his own. Then he took the initiative to admit that he was the person arranged by Li Xian, if he didn't say it himself, how could Lone know? ”

"At this moment...... At that moment. ”

Zhao Wu simply poured out all his thoughts: "When he followed the lord, he may have some ulterior motives!" ”

Li Shimin's face was cold, and he wanted to get angry but endured it. He glanced at Zhao Wu, but was speechless.

Zhao Wu knew that His Royal Highness King Qin had already moved his mind, so he continued: "At the beginning, he received the lord in Xicheng County, and then he admitted that he was the person arranged by Li Xian, the king of Yan...... It is nothing more than to win the trust of the lord, who said that he has no intention of self-reliance, and the minister does not dare to agree. ”

"The reason why he chose to follow the lord instead of raising troops to fight against the Tang Dynasty himself...... In fact, when analyzed, there are only two reasons. ”

"First, he doesn't have enough seniority and prestige. After Han Baohu died, the strength of the Han family had already existed in name only. Han Shixuan knew that relying on his own influence would never attract the assistance of too many people. And if you rely on the lord, with the reputation of the lord, it will inevitably attract many people to take refuge...... If the lord is there, the strength of the army will inevitably become stronger and stronger. And if he was just on his own, how could he have conquered such a large territory so quickly? ”

"Second...... This man is deceitful, ostensibly loyal to the lord and considers himself a minister, but in fact he has ill intentions. The minister dared to say that if the lord army was defeated, he Han Shicao could surrender at any time! The lord is the lord of the three armies, and he is just a subordinate, even if he is defeated, it is not a dead end for him. He hides behind the lord, but he is the one who benefits the most! ”

Zhao Wu finished speaking in one breath, lowered his head and waited for Li Shimin to speak.

"You ......"

Li Shimin opened his mouth, but did not say anything. After Zhao Wu's analysis, Li Shimin's heart had already turned over the river. I have to say that Zhao Wu's speculation is very reasonable. It is precisely because of this that it can be explained why Tong Han Secao's coxy wants to follow him.

"But why is he doing it now?"

Li Shimin finally couldn't help but ask.

"Because he disagrees with the Lord...... The lord firmly believed that he could wait for work under the city of Xiangyang, and defeat the Liang army, which had long been tired from afar, if the Liang army reinforcements were defeated, then the morale of the Liang army in the city would inevitably decline, and there would be no problem in conquering Xiangyang in one go. Although the lord's thoughts may sound a little inappropriate, in fact, if you are well prepared, you have at least a 70% chance of winning. A thousand-mile rush will pout the general...... The Liang army rushed back non-stop for thousands of miles, where did the soldiers still have the strength to fight a decisive battle? The lord leads the army to attack it head-on, and he will be able to win a big victory! ”

"And then...... Han Shixu didn't have the courage to fight a decisive battle. Why doesn't he want a decisive battle? ”

Zhao Wu paused for a moment and said categorically: "Because he is reluctant!" He regards these hundreds of thousands of troops as his private property! ”

"He was reluctant to gamble, he wanted to take his men and horses away. But the lord didn't agree, and he couldn't easily fall out with the lord, so he had to find a way to capture the hearts of the army and make the soldiers think that he was the one who took the truth. Only after capturing the heart of the army can he dare to break with you, the lord! ”

Li Shimin gasped, and his face immediately turned pale.

If so......

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, and had to admit that Han Shicao had indeed captured the heart of the army, and the soldiers were also war-weary, fighting viciously, the weather had turned cold, and the soldiers were looking forward to recuperating for a while.

……

……

In the most remote corner of the Qin Wangjun, hundreds of Tang cavalry gathered together boredly to chat. These people followed the thirteenth heir to the army of King Qin, in fact, everyone knew that it was just a means for the general Li Daozong to stand on both sides. Yan Wang Li Xian is like the sky, the general trend of the world has been set for seven points, Li Daozong reclassified into the Tang Dynasty and settled down, but Li Daozong was afraid that Li Shimin would really be able to rise, so he sent hundreds of them here, which is nothing more than an attitude.

They didn't need to attack Xiangyang City, and the Qin army, from Li Shimin to the ordinary soldiers, seemed to have forgotten their existence, and they were simply happy.

At that time, if the King of Qin wins, they will follow into Xiangyang City, and the order of the general Li Daozong will be completed. If Li Shimin's militia were defeated, with the war horses they sat on, it would not be difficult for them to rush out and escape. So, they don't have anything to worry about.

He sat on a large rock in the barracks, drank wine and looked at the tallest tent in front of him, his face calm and silent.

"General...... There seems to be some unevenness in the camp lately. ”

He Ping, the general under him, came over and said in a low voice: "Han Shicao was assassinated, and the generals in King Qin's army were obviously divided into two factions, one faction to fight and the other faction to retreat...... It looks calm, but I'm afraid that just one spark can cause a monstrous fire! Shall we prepare it too? ”

"There's nothing to prepare."

Si 13 waved his hand and handed the wine jug to He Ping: "The army of King Qin is far from being chaotic, and the fire is not enough...... If Li Shimin could see it clearly, he would simply be more decisive and risk a mutiny to slaughter Han Shicao, and there would be a possibility of controlling the situation. If Han Shixu's people continue to make trouble like this, he will definitely be defeated. ”

"But it's not enough, how can one assassination be enough?"

The corners of the thirteenth mouth picked: "I, a bystander, can see clearly, but Li Shimin may not see clearly." ”

"There are already people in the army who are spreading the news that Li Shimin plans to sacrifice 30,000 people as bait to fight a decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Liang army who have rushed back from thousands of miles."

"That's not much."

Hei Thirteen's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Han Shixu's hand is playing beautifully. ”

He stood up and fixed his gaze again on the tallest tent: "If that's the case, we're really going to have to prepare." ”

"Murder while the chaos is in place?"

He Ping kept his voice very low, but he couldn't hide his excitement.

"The general has a life-saving grace for me...... Before taking revenge, I must first repay the kindness given to me by the great general. It is inevitable to kill people while they are in chaos, but it depends on how and when they kill. These hundreds of brothers came here with me, and they didn't know about it, but I couldn't let them accompany me to death. Therefore, we have to wait for the opportunity, and wait for an opportunity that can not only repay the favor, but also take revenge, and save these hundreds of brothers. ”

"Difficult!"

He Ping said in a low voice: "If we kill Li Shimin, we will naturally help the general make a great contribution in front of King Yan, and you will repay this kindness, if you wait a little longer...... In case something happens......"

Hei Thirteen waved his hand, and said in a cold tone: "I'm not in a hurry, revenge doesn't have to be done in a hurry." To take revenge, you have to be thorough. ”

He asked the flask back, took a sip of wine and said, "He Ping, if you believe me, no matter what decision I make in the future, don't doubt me." ”

"Hmm!"

He Ping nodded and said, "The general sent me over, and the lives of the two of us will be tied together." At this time, if I don't believe you, who else can you believe? ”

Si Thirteen smiled and said, "That's good, you can accompany me to gamble." ”

Changan

The General's Mansion of Tiance

Qing Kite and Huang Luan helped Li Xian put on the black armor, and then tied a bright yellow cloak for Li Xian. The green kite held the black helmet and handed it to Li Xian, but Li Xian took it and held it in his hand but did not put it on immediately.

"It's better for the two of you to stay in Chang'an City, it's a long way to Xiangyang, and the weather is getting cold, so you two women are inconvenient on the way."

"You're used to reaching to the left and you'll be able to get this black knife."

The blue kite said with a smile.

Huang Luan took it and said, "Accustomed to reaching out to the right, you can get this ancient sword." ”

"Although the weather is getting colder, the big black umbrella can not only keep out the rain, but also the snow."

"The army is more suitable for charging and killing, or the iron gun."

The two of them spoke one by one, and there was no gap.

Li Xian smiled and stopped insisting.

He turned to look at Ye Huai Sleeve, who was sitting on the side, and then at Ye Huai Xi who was standing beside Ye Huai Sleeve.

"You don't have to look at me...... Within two steps. ”

Ye Huaisleeve stretched out two fingers and shook them, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Ye Huaixi clenched his fists and said, "I am a student, and the students will naturally follow when Mr. goes out." Sir said, in the future, I will follow you every step of the way, and I will remember everything I see and hear. In this way, we can learn and be useful. ”

"You were meant to follow."

Li Xian smiled and said.

He asked for the Juque sword, handed it to Ye Huaixi and said, "You have this sword with you, but it was not given to you." This is an antiquity of the Central Plains, if I send you to the grassland, I am afraid that I will lose it. When I have time, I'll have someone punch a scimitar for you. If you are a Turkic man, it is better to use a scimitar. ”

Ye Huaixi took the Juque Sword and held it in his arms: "Thank you, sir." ”

"Let's go."

Li Xian put on his black helmet and walked slowly to the door.

On the square of the General's Mansion on Tiance, 20,000 Yan Yun elite horsemen and 10,000 Mo Dao battalion heavy armor were already lined up. Cheng Zhijie, Xiong Kuohai, Luo Shixin, Pei Xingyan, and Zhang Gongjin stood in front of the military formation, with solemn faces.

On the streets, tens of thousands of people spontaneously poured into the streets.

"May King Yan triumph!"

I don't know who shouted first, and then shouted like thunder.

Hundreds of officials stood respectfully outside the south gate, with Du Ruhui as the leader to see off King Yan.

King Yan marches south!

PS: I will go to Beijing tomorrow to get the medicine, the update will be later, but there must be, tomorrow on the last day of the 12th year, ask for the monthly pass in everyone's hand.
