Chapter 107: The Timing of the Decisive Battle

Chapter 107 The decisive battle is the eastern capital of Luoyang, the mansion built by the prince.

The crown prince Jiancheng, the king of Qi Yuanji, the crown prince Xian Ma Wei Zheng, and the prince East Palace Liuwei led Feng Li to gather together.

The crown prince Jiancheng said to everyone: "Yesterday, Wang De, the chief eunuch, reported to me: Your Majesty has properly handled the affairs of the imperial capital. Your Majesty hopes that we will put down the rebellion of the traitor Liu Heimin as soon as possible, return to the imperial capital Chang'an as soon as possible, and assist Your Majesty in controlling the situation in the imperial capital. ”

After hearing what the crown prince Jiancheng said, Wei Zheng and Feng Li expressed their positions one after another: "This time, King Qin showed his strength in the imperial capital of Chang'an, and he was supported by the eight guards of the twelve guard armies, which not only surprised the entire Tang Dynasty, but also made His Majesty the Tang Emperor feel a deep threat." His Royal Highness should indeed put down the rebellion of the traitor Liu Heimin as soon as possible, return to Chang'an, assist Your Majesty, and suppress and weaken the King of Qin. ”

Qi Wang Yuanji's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

He originally wanted to hide behind the crown prince Jiancheng and sit and watch the prince Jiancheng and the Qin king Li Shimin fight. As a result, this time, Li Shimin, the confidant of the king of Qin, Li Daoxuan and Luo Shixin were killed by his own plan, and his youngest son, Li Chengdu, the heir of the Qi Palace, was also indirectly killed by Qin Qiong. This made Qi Wang Yuanji very angry in his heart.

Qi Wang Yuanji looked coldly at the smiling and polite prince, and he secretly said in his heart: "This benevolent and filial prince, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it appears on the surface." Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, not only did he think about it, but the prince also wanted to see me and King Qin fight to lose both. ”

The crown prince Jiancheng looked at the gloomy Qi King Yuanji with a smile, and said, "Yuanji, the matter of Chengdu, Gu heard about it, and he was also very sad. All of you here are lonely henchmen, and you feel sorry for you in your hearts. Chengdu's death, we have written down this revenge, and when we pacify the traitor Liu Heimin and return to the imperial capital Chang'an, Lone will definitely assist you, kill Qin Qiong Manmen, and avenge Chengdu. ”

Qi Wang Yuanji was silent.

Feng Li, the commander of the six guards of the East Palace, comforted: "Your Royal Highness the King of Qi, rest assured, we will definitely assist Your Highness and avenge His Royal Highness Chengdu." ”

Qi King Yuanji thought for a moment, stood up, and said to the crown prince: "Yuanji is willing to assist the prince's brother to achieve great things. ”

Prince Jiancheng smiled and nodded.

After that, the crown prince Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and asked, "Wei Qing, how is the situation of the rebel Liu Heimin's army?" Is the time ripe for a decisive battle? ”

Wei Zheng stood up and replied: "Your Highness, the wealthy clan of Shandong has completely cut off the supply of grain, grass and equipment to the traitor Liu Heimin before His Highness's wedding. ”

Prince Jiancheng said happily: "Wei Qing means that the time is ripe for a decisive battle, and he can fight a decisive battle with the traitor Liu Heimin." ”

Wei Zheng replied: "Three days later, the rebel Liu Heimin's army will be cut off from food and grass, and it will be the best time for a decisive battle. But this morning, a letter came from the wealthy people of Shandong, saying that in order to repay His Highness's kindness, they decided to give His Highness a big gift, hoping that His Highness could give them five days to do a great job. ”

Prince Jiancheng asked: "Shandong Hao? A big gift? A big deal? What do they want to do? Wei Qing, do you know? ”

Wei Zheng replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, this Weichen doesn't know. The wealthy family of Shandong swore so much that they would give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a big gift, and Weichen speculated that this big gift might not be light. Shandong and Henan are all spheres of influence of the wealthy clans in Shandong. If they want to support anyone, they will achieve great things in Shandong and Henan. Li Mi, the Duke of Wei in Wagang Mountain, Wang Shichong of Zheng in Luoyang, Dou Jiande, the King of Xia in Hebei, and the current traitor Liu Heimin are not like this? If who do they want to ruin? That's a no-brainer. Li Mi, the Duke of Wei in Wagang Mountain, is the head of the three major leaders of the world's righteous army, amazing and gorgeous, brilliant and intelligent, his strategists are like rain, fierce generals are like clouds, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Shan Xiongxin, Luo Shixin, Cheng Biting Jin, Wang Bodang, Pei Renji, Pei Yuanqing are all serving under his account, and he has elite soldiers as high as 600,000, which can be described as strong and strong, and the momentum is monstrous, the result is that because Li Mi vainly tried to get rid of the control of the Shandong Hao clan and tried to stand on his own, in just half a month, the Wagang Mountain forces collapsed and were completely defeated by the hands of Luoyang Wang Shichong, who was re-supported by the Shandong Hao clan, Li Mi fled to the Tang Dynasty with Wang Bodang alone, and soon both died. This time, Weichen hopes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will wait and see, maybe the Shandong Hao family will give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a special surprise. ”

Prince Jiancheng said happily: "Okay, this time let's see how capable he is of the Shandong wealthy family?" Can it be regarded as a comprehension of the strength of their thousand-year-old family? ”

Shui City, the residence of Liu Heimin, the king of Handong.

Liu Heimin, the king of Handong, Fan Yuan, the left servant, Dong Kangmai, the secretary of the military department, Chang He, the left general, and Gao Yaxian, the right general, gathered together.

Liu Heimin said to everyone: "The city has been taken down by us, the king of Henan and the eastern capital left behind Li Daoxuan, and the prince of Tan Guogong and Luo Shixin, the governor of Jiangzhou, have been killed by us one after another. The city is like a sharp sword, and now this sword is held by us and put on the neck of the Tang prince of Luoyang, the eastern capital. Everyone, get ready to prepare, five days later, surround Luoyang, capture Luoyang, and capture and kill Li Jiancheng, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. In Luoyang City, Lone celebrates for everyone. ”

The generals rose up and agreed. However, the left servant shot Fan Yuan, and Dong Kangmai, the secretary of the military department, was worried.

The left servant shoots Fan Yuan's mansion.

As soon as Fan Yuan returned to the mansion, a housekeeper came to report that Dong Kangmai, the secretary of the military department, had come to visit.

Fan Yuan didn't have time to change clothes, so he met Dong Kangmai in the hall.

As soon as Dong Kangmai saw Fan Yuan, he asked straight to the point: "Zuo Xiang, what do you think will be the result after the king of Handong besieges Luoyang this time?" ”

Fan Yuan looked worried and asked rhetorically, "Dong Shangshu, what do you think the result will be?" ”

Dong Kangmai replied: "The king of Handong was killed, the army of 400,000 collapsed, and the Great Xia Dynasty collapsed. ”

Fan Yuan looked at Dong Kangmai in surprise and said, "Dong Shangshu, how can you say such a thing?" Although you and I both know this result, we can't say it at this time. The temper of Liu Heimin, the king of Handong, you don't know it, he will definitely not allow anyone to spread rumors and lower the morale of the army before the army goes on the march. ”

Dong Kangmai laughed and said: "Prime Minister Zuo, what is the current situation of the army, you and I don't know?" The army had less than three days to be supplied with food and grass, and after three days, the army would run out of food. With an army of 400,000 and no food, who can control it? You and I are responsible for raising food and grass for the army, and once the army runs out of food, the soldiers will divide our five horses. In such a critical situation, Prime Minister Zuo doesn't want to find a way to solve it, and is he still trying to continue to hide it? ”
