Defeat of Yicheng!
Qinshui defeated!
The Western Liang army has opened the passage between Jiangjun and Changping, and the army will meet east of the river through wind and rain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The party is in a hurry, Hedong is in a hurry, and Baibi is in a hurry!
Li Jing captured Hukou, urgently took Longmen Pass, and outflanked the back road of Baibi. Li Tang's army in Hedong not only failed to repeat the fierce battle of Baibi and the defeat of Liu Wuzhou, but became a shackle in Guanzhong.
The times are different, and the results are of course different.
Back then, Liu Wu was the enemy on Thursday, and now the mountains and rivers are turning, and it is Li Yuan's turn to be embattled.
Li Yuan's current troops are already stretched, and now many of the troops in Guanzhong, except for the Xijing guards, have been dispatched. Li Liang and Liang Shi have not been pacified, although they have not attempted to attack Guanzhong, but Li Yuan can't help it, Liang Shi has retreated all the way west, but it is still a big threat to Guanzhong. Languan also gathered nearly 100,000 troops to prevent the Western Liang army from breaking through Languan and directly hitting Xijing. Tongguan relied on natural danger, temporarily worry-free, Hedong had already gathered 300,000 troops, where did he think that after Li Shimin lost his troops first, Hedong was outflanked by Li Jing's army in an instant.
Originally, Hedong was like a gateway to Guanzhong, Li Yuan just wanted to resist the enemy at the door, where did he think that Li Jing would not follow the norm and jump out of the window to attack.
How to guard, how to resist? Li Yuan has aged a lot in a few days.
The only thing that might surprise Li Yuan was that Li Xuanba died, and Li Xuanba finally died! This thorn in the heart has finally been pulled out! Li Yuan just received this news, and it was Pei Lian who ordered someone to send it over quickly.
Li Xuanba did not die in Pei Lian's layout, but fell into the siege of the Western Liang army and died of exhaustion.
In Li Yuan's eyes, it doesn't matter who killed Li Xuanba and how Li Xuanba died, the most important thing is that Li Xuanba died. Li Xuanba should have died a long time ago, Li Yuan hated and thought that if it weren't for Li Xuanba, Guanzhong might not have been able to reach this embarrassing state.
But Li Xuanba's death did not bring too much excitement to Li Yuan, on the contrary, there was an unspeakable anxiety. Li Xuanba died, and when Qinshui was attacked by the Western Liang army, the Tang army was panicked, and for some reason, Pei Lin did not dare to go to Jiangxian, so he could only lead his troops to retreat north to Shangdang, and Li Shentong's troops were united to resist the Western Liang army. Li Yuan knew that Pei Lin would not lead the army, and his shot would be a defeat, and as soon as Qinshui was lost, the connection between Shangdang and Jiangjun would be cut off, and now there are mountains in the west of Shangdang, Taihang in the east, and the West Liang army in the north and south. But what bothered Li Yuan the most was not the dilemma of the party, but the Western Liang Army of Yan'an County!
The Western Liang army led by Li Jing not only looked at Baibi, but also stabbed Xijing at any time like a sharp knife.
Although there are still hundreds of miles of distance between Yan'an and Xijing in the north, compared with the natural danger of the Yellow River in the Qinling Mountains, it can be said that there are wind leaks everywhere.
Li Yuan was in a dilemma.
If he pulls the remaining troops of Xijing out to fight against Li Jing's army in Yan'an, then Li Jing may go around in a circle, and then take Guanzhong from other routes in the north, but if he does not take the initiative to attack, if the whole army in Hedong is annihilated, and the ferry is almost broken by Li Jing, then the Western Liang army can easily cross the Yellow River and attack all the way to the city of Xijing.
In this way, the route of the Western Liang army to seize Guanzhong is similar to the route of Li Yuan's attack on Guanzhong, the difference is that Li Yuan did not go north to attack Guanzhong without going to Longmen and Hukou, but Li Jing went around in a bigger circle and then attacked Hukou. As soon as the Hukou Longmen is opened, the soldiers on the opposite bank can cross the river smoothly, and the threat is self-evident.
Li Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched his head, only to find that a lot of hair had fallen out again. At this time, the palace people entered the palace and said: "Qi Sheng, the prince and the king of Qin are already on their way home, and they should be able to go to the capital tomorrow." Li Yuan frowned and signaled, "If they turn around, immediately summon them to see me." The palace people listened to the order to retreat, Li Yuan secretly thought, Li Xuanba is dead, there is no internal worry now, although there are external troubles, but after a good discussion with Jiancheng and the people, maybe there will be a way to crack the attack of the Western Liang army. Of course, Li Yuan didn't want to give up yet, his heart was haggard, and he fell into a dream, but in his sleep, his brows were still tightly locked.
When Li Yuan was anxiously looking for a countermeasure, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were on their way back to Guanzhong on their horses.
The two of them were equally worried, and they were worried. The situation has deteriorated to the point where it is out of control, and it is really difficult for them to come up with a way to fight it.
Accompanying the two to the capital were Wen Daya, the eldest grandson Heng'an, Duan Zhixuan and a group of guards. At this time, they didn't know about Li Xuanba's death.
Killing Li Xuanba was an extremely secret order, and it had been kept secret except for Pei Lin and the Wen brothers who knew the inside story. Although the Tang army on the Qinshui side knew that King Wei was dead, they all withdrew to the Shangdang, so at the moment, only Li Yuan knew the news.
Under the protection of several of Li Xuanba's personal guards, Li Shimin finally turned back to Yicheng after crossing the mountains and mountains, and was pleased to find that Duan Zhixuan was still alive. Duan Zhixuan's ability to survive the chaotic battle was also extraordinary, and he cried with joy when he saw Li Shimin.
Everyone discussed, knowing that there were only 30,000 troops left in Yicheng at the moment, if they were besieged by the Western Liang army, they were afraid that it would be difficult to escape. After Li Jiancheng learned the news, he immediately sent troops to respond, and the two armies rushed together, and then retreated to Baibi.
After Li Jiancheng saw Li Shimin, he was sad and happy, happy that his younger brother was fine, but sad was the deterioration of the situation. As soon as Li Shimin talked about Li Jing, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, his heart was in a predicament, and he was in a cage again. But he was in a hurry to turn around at the moment, firstly, he just wanted to question Li Yuanji, secondly, he also wanted to find an antidote for Li Xuanba, and he also wanted to explain everything to Li Yuan in a dignified manner, so that he could give himself an explanation, Li Shimin didn't want to be so unclear anymore. Li Jiancheng also felt that the situation was not good, and was anxious to discuss the resistance strategy with his father, so he hit it off with Li Shimin and led people back to the capital.
However, Li Jiancheng was calm after all, of course he would not give up Baibi, let Qu Tutong lead the troops to continue to hold Baibi, and let Liu Hongji and Tang Jian divide their troops to Longmen Pass to assist the soldiers there to hold the pass, and Li Jing could not be allowed to seize the ferry and cut off the retreat of the Baibi army.
The discussion was decided, and the Li brothers took their cronies across the Yellow River and passed through Xijing.
Along the way, everyone saw that the soldiers and civilians were panicked, and they were all embattled, and ominous meanings swelled in their hearts, and they were silent.
On this day, when he finally crossed Weishui, passed through Lishan, and looked at the Baqiao Bridge, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Big brother, Yuanji always said that I was not born to my father, how can you come to see it?" After Li Shimin saw Li Jiancheng, he did not mention his encounter with Li Xuanba, only said that he was chased and killed all the way, and he turned around after a few days in the barren mountain. But because of this, he did not mention Li Jiancheng about Li Yuanji sending Yin Arat's plot against him.
Li Jiancheng listened to Li Shimin's question, and said with a dumb smile: "Shimin, you don't think this is true, right?" ”
Li Shimin couldn't see any abnormality on Li Jiancheng's face, his mood was complicated, and he sighed: "I don't believe it, but I always listen to this rumor, and I will inevitably have doubts." ”
Li Jiancheng said with emotion: "Shimin, as Yuanji's brother, you have done a good job in this matter, and I am very happy for my brother to see you forbearance and retreat." But...... This is really wronged by you, I persuaded Yuan Ji many times, but he just didn't listen, alas! ”
"Do you want me to just put up with it?" Li Shimin asked.
Li Jiancheng hesitated for a moment, "Of course not." In fact, my father and I have talked about him many times, and even punished him, but he is hard to change after all, but in any case, he is also our biological brother, right? ”
"The point is, he used to think of me as a brother." Li Shimin looked at the long white clouds and the vast distant mountains, and replied indifferently.
Seeing that Li Shimin was dissatisfied, Li Jiancheng didn't take it too seriously, and said with a smile: "Shimin, we have always been biological brothers, and no one can change it. I know you've been wronged, if you're at fault, count it on my head and get angry at me, okay? Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Li Jiancheng said bitterly: "At present, the great enemy is present, we should work together as brothers, and we must not mess with ourselves." Shimin, I believe you can understand this. ”
"I understand, but does my father understand?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically: "Xuanba has great talents, but he didn't send him to lead the army to the expedition, only guarding the grain road, how can he let such a disposition ...... Xuanba is convinced? ”
"It is General Qu's idea to let Xuanba guard Qinshui, and I agree with it, in fact, ......" Li Jiancheng was in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to phrase it for a while, so he said for a long time: "Don't worry, when I return to Xijing this time, I must talk about this matter." ”
"If Yuanji insults me again, what will happen to you, big brother?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.
Li Jiancheng said helplessly: "I will restrain him, if you are with me, he will not go overboard." ”
Li Shimin's lips moved twice, and he secretly thought, what if you don't stay with me? Thinking of the moment when Li Xuanba was poisoned, Li Shimin's heart was on fire, he did not blame Li Jiancheng, but he hated Li Yuanji deeply.
The two were silent again, and after crossing the bridge, Xijing was soon in front of them. The two took the soldiers into Xijing, and saw the gossip of the people in the city, one after another, and they were also secretly shocked. Because these messages are not limited to the dispute between the princes, but involve where to see the Xiliang army again, for a while, it seems that in addition to Xijing, there are Xiliang soldiers everywhere, and there are rumors that Li Jing has already hit Yongfengcang and is going to attack Xijing.
"There must be Xiao Buyi's fine work in this." Li Jiancheng listened to the people's discussion and immediately made a judgment. Of course, Li Shimin also understands this, he has something in his heart, and he doesn't want to say anything. When they had entered the city gate, a man suddenly rushed out and stopped him in front of his horse. The horse neighed, and some guards were ready to step forward, Li Shimin's eyes were sharp, and he saw that it was the eldest grandson Wuji, and he was taken aback, just because the eldest grandson Wuji had a rare panic and uneasiness on his face.
"Mowgli, what's wrong?" Li Shimin asked hurriedly.
"Shimin, the innocent is missing." The eldest grandson Wuji said hurriedly, ignoring the presence of everyone.
Li Jiancheng was also taken aback, "How could Wujian disappear?" ”
Li Shimin's eyes erupted with fire, and he shouted almost at the same time: "How can Wuzhi disappear?" ”
"It seems to have something to do with Motoyoshi." The eldest grandson Wuji said urgently.
Li Jiancheng raised his eyebrows, "Wuji, you can't talk nonsense about this." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was also a little annoyed, and he didn't care about Li Jiancheng's identity, and shouted: "Why should I talk nonsense, can you give me a reason?" ”
Li Jiancheng saw that the eldest grandson Wuji was in a hurry, and he also knew that he had a problem with his tone, so he apologized: "I didn't mean that, I said...... Although Yuanji is messing around, he will never go overboard...... Will it be ......" originally wanted to say that there would be a reason for it, or there was a hidden secret, Li Shimin said angrily: "He won't go overboard?" So what happened last time? Li Jiancheng, is he your brother? Am I not? ”
"Of course they are, but Wuji, you always have to make it clear."
"What else is there to explain? This morning Wujian went to the temple to make a wish, to pray for the saint and the soldiers, and disappeared on the way back, we have been looking for a long time, and now it has been half a day, of course she will not disappear for so long for no reason, this is the capital, who else dares not to look long, to attack Wuji? We went to find King Qi, but we couldn't find him at all, Li Jiancheng, you said let me make it clear, let me ask you, how else can I explain it? ”
Li Jiancheng realized the urgency of the matter, and shouted to the guards: "You are looking for Yuan Ji everywhere in the capital, you must find him for me." Remember...... Except for not hurting him, I am responsible for any way! Seeing Li Shimin's eyes erupting fire, Li Jiancheng said: "Shimin, I will go to the Qi Palace, with you, to wait for Yuanji." ”
"You can wait alone, I'll look around." Li Shimin refused immediately.
Li Jiancheng didn't care about it, and secretly thought that Yuanji must not make a big mistake, otherwise internal and external troubles would break out together, and Xijing would be finished.
Li Jiancheng led his men to the palace of King Qi with a fast horse, praying in his heart that Li Yuanji could be in the mansion, and at the same time ordered the guards to pay attention to Li Shimin's movements, for fear that he would do something out of control. When Li Shimin saw Li Jiancheng leaving, he was anxious and asked, "Wuji, why are you still here?" Why don't you go and find the Unsullied? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Shimin, I have done my best to send the people who can be dispatched, and the whole city has gone to find it, Wuji is my sister, do you think I'm not in a hurry?" But this time, ......" Before he finished speaking, a personal guard Zheng Rentai rushed to the horse, holding a piece of jade pendant in his hand and said: "King Qin, I found this jade pendant in Wuliu Lane, Andingfang, northwest of the city. A girl said that this is the jade pendant worn by Princess Qin. ”
Li Shimin took a look at it and said with a loss of color: "This is indeed admired by Wuji, how could she go there?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly remembered something, "I remember, there is a mansion of Li Yuanji at the end of Wuliu Lane, he thinks that the palace of the king of Qi is too close to the palace, so there are mansions in many places in the city. There ...... "Listening to the cough of the eldest grandson Hengan, the eldest grandson Wuji did not continue to say the following words, because when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were fighting the country, Li Yuanji had always been looking for fun, so he set up a lot of mansions for his enjoyment, if the eldest grandson Wujian fell there, the consequences would really be worrying.
Li Shimin clenched the jade pendant, his eyes burned with anger, it turned out that this jade pendant was a copy, Yang Guang was quite good to Li Shimin back then, and rewarded him with such a jade pendant, but when he assassinated Li Min, he was disappointed, Li Xuanba in order to protect the safety of the Li family, so he asked Pei Mingcui to help him imitate a piece, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian got married, and gave this piece of jade to the eldest grandson Wujian.
The past is like a tide, Li Shimin can't help but think of Li Xuanba again, and he doesn't know what it feels like in his heart. Without further ado, he urged the horse to run northwest of the capital.
Regardless of the eastern capital or the western capital, it is divided into two cities, both inside and outside, with the square as the unit. Li Shimin turned back from the Longmen and entered the Tonghua Gate in the east, which could have gone straight through the inner palace to the northwest of Zhongfang, but after thinking about it, the inner palace was guarded and there were many obstacles. The horse circled south, then turned and galloped westward, only to reach the innocent side a moment earlier. Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji also understood Li Shimin's thoughts, and the eldest grandson Hengan and Duan Zhixuan hurriedly rushed to Andingfang with a few guards.
Along the way, the people jumped and jumped, and Li Shimin couldn't care a lot, gritted his teeth, and blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
When they approached Andingfang, another soldier rushed out and shouted, "King Qin, it's not good. ”
When Li Shimin saw the tragic situation of that person, his anger burned even more in his heart.
That person's name is Li Mengwei, and like Zheng Rentai, he is the subordinate of the eldest grandson Wuji. But when they first met, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin almost didn't recognize this person. The man's eyebrows were swollen and high, one eye was black as if it had been stained with ink, his face was covered with sweat and blood, and the armor on his arms was open and stained with blood.
The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "What's wrong?" At the same time, he made a look and motioned to Li Mengwei to make a long story short and choose to speak. Li Meng tasted his understanding, nodded and said: "King Qin, we know that Princess Qin came here, and she went to King Qi's Tongmian Mansion to ask for someone as soon as possible, and King Qi is here." ”
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Talk while walking." He was desperate to see Li Yuanji and urged the horse forward. Li Mengwei ran all the way and said: "We are in charge of the King of Qi, but I didn't expect him to be quite unreasonable and say that Princess Qin is not there for him." He said that we should commit the following crimes, and then ordered our men to intervene. ”
"If they shoot, you won't fight back?" The eldest grandson Wuji said: "If there is any problem, I will take responsibility!" ”
Li Shimin glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji gratefully, and his heart was still good to him. The eldest grandson Hengan also wanted to say something, but it can be seen that the two of them are getting angry, and they don't want to be this villain.
Li Meng said cowardly: "Of course we can beat them, but King Qi personally attacked, how dare we fight him?" ”
Li Shimin no longer paid attention to it, and rushed into Wuliu Lane, seeing several people running in this direction in embarrassment, the eldest grandson Wuji saw that they were all his own subordinates, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Li Shimin.
At the end of the long alley, there was a burst of laughter, and Li Yuanji was shouting. When Li Shimin saw this, his anger surged, and he rode over, and those family members saw King Qin's angry horse galloping, and they all restrained their madness.
In any case, the King of Qin fought in the territory, which they did not dare to despise.
Li Yuanji was scolding: "It's really a villain!" You grandsons also dare to bully the head of this king, I don't want to mess with you, you dare to take care of me. "I was talking happily, and I have seen Li Shimin's figure. Li Shimin came so quickly, just now at the end of the alley, he rolled in front of him like a gust of wind, a few people wanted to stop, seeing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly retreated, and another person couldn't dodge, was kicked by the horse's hooves, and flew out.
Li Yuanji had never seen such a fierce Li Shimin, his face was pale with fright, his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground. It can be seen that the horse's hooves are raised high, life and death are at stake, and they roll on the ground with all their strength. There was a 'bang' sound, and he hit the wall headlong, which can be said to be full of stars.
There was a servant who wanted to come to the rescue, the eldest grandson Wuji and Duan Zhixuan arrived, and with a wave of their hand, the servant had already flown out.
Li Yuanji stood up in severe pain, and before Venus dispersed, he saw the cold light in front of him, and said in shock: "Shimin, what are you doing?" ”
The tip of the sword had reached Li Yuanji's throat, Huo Ran stopped, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "Where is Wuji, hand it over!" ”
"How do I know where the Unsullied is? That's your wife, and you didn't let me look at it! Li Yuanji shouted.
Li Shimin's anger in his heart was even hotter, and he punched Li Yuanji in the lower abdomen. Li Yuanji saw that Li Shimin had a sword in his hand, so he didn't dare to dodge, so he resisted a blow, and snot and tears flowed out. Seeing that Li Shimin was really angry, Li Yuanji begged: "Shimin, if you have something to say, you have something to say." ”
"Where's the Innocent?" Li Shimin still said this.
"I don't really know where the innocent is." Li Yuanji is justified this time.
How could Li Shimin believe it at this time, and he punched it again, Li Yuanji only felt that his internal organs were a little upside down, and he almost spurted blood, and shouted: "I don't know if you beat me to death." ”
Li Shimin sneered: "Okay, then I'll kill you and see if you know." As soon as he unfurled his long sword, he had stabbed at Li Yuanji, Li Yuanji shouted, dodged, Li Shimin chased after him with his sword, and it was another sword. Li Yuanji has enjoyed happiness all his life, where has he ever been in such a dilemma, although he wants to escape for his life, his legs and feet can't keep up with his brain, he screams, falls to the ground, and rolls twice, but where is it faster than Li Shimin's long sword. The sword light flashed, and it was about to pierce Li Yuanji's thigh, but with a sound of 'Zheng' next to him, a sword stabbed obliquely, blocking Li Shimin's sword.
With a sound of 'dang', the two swords intersected, the fire splashed, Li Shimin's arm shook slightly, and he squinted over, and saw that the person holding the sword to protect Li Yuanji was Li Jiancheng!
Li Jiancheng finally arrived in time.
"Big brother, Li Shimin wants to kill me." Li Yuanji had already been shocked, but it can be seen that Li Jiancheng is here and his courage is strong. He has always been unreasonable, let alone justified today?
Li Shimin glared at Li Yuanji angrily and said, "Yes, I'm going to kill you today." If you lose a hair, I'll cut you with a sword. ”
The two of them are already irreconcilable, Li Jiancheng frowned secretly, turned his head to Li Yuanji and said, "Yuanji, are you ...... Hidden? If it's really you, hand it over quickly. ”
Li Yuanji said angrily: "What am I hiding her for? Is she fun? What he said was unintentional, Li Shimin gritted his teeth even more when he heard it, "Li Yuanji, today we will settle the old accounts and new accounts together, just say that you ordered Yin Arat's poison to kill Xuanba and kill me, I will never spare you again, big brother...... You dodge, today it is a matter between me and Li Yuanji. ”
Li Jiancheng asked in surprise, "How is it possible that he ordered Yin Arat's to poison you and Xuanba?" ”
"What I saw with my own eyes, what else is impossible? If you don't believe it, let Yin Arat come out and confront him. ”
Li Jiancheng had realized the seriousness of the situation, and frowned: "Yuanji, let Yin Arat come out." ”
Li Yuanji looked up to the sky and snorted, "Li Shimin, you really hate me to the bone, even this kind of thing can be planted on me!" Your dead ghost Xuanba's martial arts are world-renowned, and you are very brave, if you die at the hands of Yin Arat, this is a big joke......"
When Li Jiancheng heard this, his heart moved, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and said, "Shimin, what's going on?" You take your time to listen. ”
But at this time, Li Shimin slowed down, and said coldly: "Just let Li Yuanji hand over Yin Arat." ”
Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Okay, I'll hand over Yin Arat, and I'll see how you spew blood." Instructed a servant: "Go and find Yin Arat." Seeing that the subordinates were still hesitating, Li Yuanji said angrily: "If you don't go, Lao Tzu will break your legs!" The subordinate hurriedly said: "King Qi, Yin Arat, a few days ago...... It's not in Jingshi, and now no one knows where he went! ”
Li Yuanji was originally justified, what he had never done, how could he tolerate others to put a basin on his head, hearing that Yin Arat's absence, he was surprised: "This is a coincidence." ”
Li Shimin laughed twice, but how could he be half happy, "Can't hand over people?" I can only say that it will be hellish if you hand it over, Yin Arat's own sin, and he was killed by Xuanba with a palm! ”
Li Jiancheng was confused, but none of the two younger brothers explained to him, so he could only say: "There must be a misunderstanding in the middle." ”
"There's a fucking misunderstanding, isn't that straightforward?" Li Yuanji said angrily: "Li Shimin, I know that you are dissatisfied with me, so you killed Yin Arat, and blamed me, right?" ”
Li Yuanji was sober for a rare time, although he didn't guess the ending, but he also guessed some fur, Li Shimin only felt that Li Yuanji was messing around, and he was already incorrigible, so he laughed angrily and said: "Yes, I hid the innocent again, and then asked you for someone again, I don't know if I'm sick or you're sick?" ”
Li Yuanji was chased and killed by Li Shimin by an inexplicable dignitary, and all of his body hurt, and he was wronged for the first time in his life, so he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "Yes, it's what Lao Tzu did, what can you do?" ”
"You're finally admitting?" Li Shimin's hand holding the sword trembled a little.
"Yes, Lao Tzu has long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, and he has always wanted to kill you. That's why Yin Arats will poison you......"
"Motoyoshi! Don't talk nonsense! Li Jiancheng scolded.
Li Yuanji stubbornly rushed up, where can he manage a lot, and laughed: "It's a pity, Yin Arat's is too useless and didn't poison you, otherwise how would you be allowed to come to Lao Tzu to spread wild?" He relied on his eldest brother by his side, and the more he talked, the more presumptuous he became, "Yes, I did everything, and Guanyin was also arrested by me, and now she is being stripped of her essence in my house." When those minions of yours came to ask for someone, Lao Tzu was having a good time! What can you do? Bite me? ”
Li Shimin roared angrily, the long sword stabbed away, Li Yuanji was arrogant, his ability was not arrogant, and he hurriedly hid behind Li Jiancheng and shouted: "Big brother, save me!" ”
Li Jiancheng took out his sword, opened Li Shimin's long sword with a sword, and said hurriedly: "Yuanji, don't talk nonsense." Simpour, don't be impulsive. ”
Li Shimin said angrily: "Built, get out!" Otherwise, I will kill you together." ”
With the kung fu of these two sentences, Li Jiancheng has already blocked Li Shimin's three swords, and at this time he has retreated to the side of Duan Zhixuan, Li Mengwei and others, but Li Jiancheng is not worried about these people making a move, because after all, this is a matter within the royal family, and Zhiqu's subordinates will not help each other. The eldest grandson brother knows the general situation, and he will definitely be able to stop him, and he is resisting Li Shimin, but at this time, he suddenly felt a little numb in his vest, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito. Li Jiancheng didn't take it to heart, and still shouted: "Shimin, stop." ”
The eldest grandson brothers also came around, feeling that no matter what, Li Shimin would not be able to fight with Li Jiancheng, and the blame was on Li Yuanji, but Li Shimin was not easy to kill him, and he just wanted to restrain Li Yuanji first. At this time, Li Jiancheng's movements suddenly froze, his eyes were a little straight, Li Shimin's eyes were already red, he just wanted to force Li Jiancheng back, slaughtered Li Yuanji, and stabbed Li Jiancheng with a sword without hesitation, hitting Li Jiancheng's arm.
With the sound of 'dang', Li Jiancheng's long sword fell to the ground, but the person still didn't move, and the expression on his face was strange. Li Shimin didn't think much about it, he had already taken the opportunity to kick Li Yuanji down, the long sword was pointed at his throat, and he was about to stab it, when someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Prince! The voice was extremely poignant and terrifying, Li Shimin's heart sank, and when he looked back, he saw that Li Jiancheng had fallen to the ground, and the black blood was flowing on his arm, Li Jiancheng's eyes were gone, and after falling to the ground, he squirmed twice, and there was no movement again.
Li Shimin's eyes showed a look of horror, he just stabbed Li Jiancheng with a sword, although he saw blood, he knew that it was by no means serious, let alone fatal! But Li Jiancheng is indeed dead!
Li Jiancheng is dead? Big Brother is dead? Li Shimin's mind was blank, and Li Yuanji was also stunned on the spot, but he was far faster than Li Shimin to wake up.
Li Shimin knew that he had never killed his eldest brother, but Li Yuanji thought that it was Li Shimin who stabbed his eldest brother to death with a sword! Since Li Shimin dares to kill his eldest brother, the next target is him! Thinking of this, Li Yuanji did not hesitate to exert his strength, rushed to Li Shimin, and shouted: "You killed the eldest brother, I will fight with you." As soon as he got up, he felt his cheeks slightly numb, as if he had been bitten by something, but he, like Li Jiancheng, didn't care at all. When Li Shimin was flustered, he also forgot to resist, and was hugged by him, but he had developed a keen reaction for many years, and after encountering an attack, he did not hesitate to return to the sword and stab him.
Li Yuanji is not successful, he is not martial, he has spent his whole life in arrogance, and when Li Shimin's long sword stabbed him, he didn't think of dodging. As a result, the long sword flashed from Li Shimin's side and stabbed into Li Yuanji's lower abdomen.
Li Yuanji shouted, let go and fell to the sky.
Li Shimin pulled out his long sword and brought out a pool of blood, feeling confused. Although he hated Li Yuanji to the extreme, it was still unbelievable when he fell.
Although the lower abdomen is a vital point, it is difficult to die if he is stabbed with a sword, Li Yuanji fell to the ground, his face turned blue, and the blood flowing out of his stomach turned out to be black.
Stretching out his hand and pointing at Li Shimin, Li Yuanji said in a trembling voice: "You...... So ruthless! He tilted his head and said no more. After the eldest grandson brother pounced, he was also shocked on the spot, never expecting that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse. The eldest grandson Wuji still couldn't believe the facts in front of him, reached out to Li Jiancheng and touched it, suddenly retracted his fingers, his face was pale, and he said in a low voice: "The prince is dead." ”
The prince died like this? The prince died so silently? Everyone is incredulous, but they can't help but believe it.
Li Shimin's mind was blank, as soon as he let go of his hand, the sound of 'dang chang', the long sword fell to the ground, and he muttered: "It's not me, it's not me who killed it!" ”
The servants came to their senses, shouted in unison, and fled for their lives. The eldest grandson Hengan gave Duan Zhixuan a look, Duan Zhixuan turned over with a harrier, and when he arrived at the door of the mansion, he drew his knife and chopped it. He slashed extremely quickly, slashing several people in an instant, and the eldest grandson Wuji came to his senses and immediately joined the slaughter. The eldest grandson Heng'an, the eldest grandson Wuji, Duan Zhixuan, Zheng Rentai, Li Mengwei and a few personal guards, all with red eyes, blocked the two ends, and soon killed Li Yuanji's family in the alley, as well as several of Li Jiancheng's personal guards.
When Li Jiancheng was in Baibi, there were a lot of guards around him, and Wen Daya was afraid that he would be killed by Li Xuanba, so he focused on protection. But after returning to the capital, he naturally relaxed a lot, Li Jiancheng heard Li Shimin kill Li Yuanji's mansion, and hurriedly chased after him, but he only brought a few subordinates, he just wanted to fight, where did he think of fighting, but he didn't expect to die here in vain.
Several people are brave people, how can they be the enemies of these family guards, after killing these people, the eldest grandson Hengan and Duan Zhixuan went to the mansion hand in hand, obviously on the one hand, they were killing people, and on the other hand, they were looking for the eldest grandson. The eldest grandson Wuji's long sword dripped blood, walked up to Li Shimin, and said in a low voice: "King Qin, everything is settled. ”
"What has been solved?" Li Shimin looked around, his face changed.
Li Mengwei picked up the long sword dropped by Li Shimin, and suddenly said: "This sword is poisonous, otherwise the prince would not have died like this." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji snatched the long sword, and saw that there was another person next to him who was dying, and a sword stabbed him in the face, and the person couldn't scream, but his face quickly turned blue and black, and black blood flowed out of the punctured wound, which was no different from what Li Jiancheng and them were.
The eldest grandson Wuji was cold, and slowly looked back, looking at Li Shimin's eyes was very different.
The sword is Li Shimin's sword, and the sword is poisonous, which means that Li Shimin has been planning for a long time, but his eldest grandson Wuji does not know.
Li Shimin was stunned on the spot when he saw the poison on the sword, and when he saw the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, he shouted: "It's not me who gave the poison." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji smiled bitterly, "King Qin, it doesn't matter if you poison you now!" ”
"It's really not me who poisoned me, who is harming me?" Li Shimin was at a loss in his heart.
The eldest grandson Wuji said that the matter has reached this point, why don't you admit it, and said in a low voice: "King Qin, if you want to protect yourself now, you can only go to see the Holy ......" Before he finished speaking, the eldest grandson Hengan had walked out of the mansion quickly, the tip of the sword was dripping blood, obviously Fang had just killed a few more people, and when he saw Li Shimin, he said: "Shimin, there is no innocent in the mansion, there are individual women, they are naked, I ...... Killed. Zhixuan is looking for something else, I'll let you know first. ”
Li Shimin's heart sank, and he smiled bitterly: "Why kill them all? ”
The eldest grandson brothers glanced at each other, and then looked at Zheng Rentai and Li Mengwei on the side, and the two knelt down and said in unison: "I am willing to follow King Qin and the two sons to go to the soup and the fire, and I will not give up!" ”
Although the eldest grandson brothers are not as good as the eldest grandson Shunde, they all have the same view at this time, and they can no longer take care of the Western Liang army at the moment, support Li Shimin, and keep the eldest grandson's family is the first priority. Therefore, they immediately decided to kill people and kill them all.
The eldest grandson Hengan said: "King Qin, we just killed these people just to prevent the news from leaking. But if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it for a lifetime. ”
"Hide what?" Li Shimin asked.
"Of course, I don't let the saint know about it first." The eldest grandson Wuji said without hesitation: "Right now, the King of Qin has killed the crown prince, and the King of Qi ...... You said...... What will happen to the Holy One? ”
"He ......" Li Shimin shuddered, secretly thinking that he and Xuanba were not Li Yuan's sons, but he killed Li Yuan's two sons with his own hands, and Li Yuan didn't cut himself into meat sauce?
"First strike!" The eldest grandson Hengan said: "If King Qin hesitates any longer, I am afraid that you and I will be destroyed." ”
Li Shimin saw that the two of them looked solemn, and his heart was also cold, and asked, "But...... We are alone, how can we face the saints? "I secretly thought in my heart, I am not Li Yuan's son, no matter how I explain it, I don't know it, I don't know that the sword is poisonous, but who can believe it?
The eldest grandson Wuji listened to Li Shimin's relief, and said without scruples: "The incident happened suddenly, we can only admonish us!" ”
"Soldiers?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "But where are the soldiers?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "King Qin, your palace already has hundreds of guards, and our eldest grandson's family also has people in the forbidden palace. When we suddenly attack, we will admonish the saints, and the saints will not guard against us, and we will definitely be able to do it. King Qin only needs to say that Yuanji is insulting and innocent, you go to beg for people and make enemies with Yuanji. Built to dissuade, was killed by Yuanji by mistake, you angrily shot and beheaded Yuanji! ”
"Will this work?" Li Shimin was unprepared and hesitated. He turned back to Xijing to seek justice for Li Xuanba, and at the same time wanted to get the antidote from Yuanji and a showdown with Li Yuan, but where did he expect that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, and it had reached the point where it was now, Rao was calm on the field, and at this time, he couldn't help but panic.
The eldest grandson Wuji showed an unchaotic style in the face of danger, and said in a deep voice: "If you can't do it, you have to do it!" We are compelled to kill ourselves, rightly ...... No loss. He said with a red face and a heartbeat, and said: "The prince is dead, King Qin, you have entered the palace, if you have the opportunity, you need to force the saint to appoint you as the crown prince, and then pass the throne to you." ”
Li Shimin had a headache and said: "But now...... When the national crisis is at hand, even if the throne is passed to me, how can I resist the attack of the Western Liang army? If the army is defeated in an instant, it will only be a matter of shame sooner or later. I do this...... Isn't it a bit too much? ”
Eldest Sun Wuji sighed and said, "If King Qin doesn't agree with this idea, I have only one other way." ”
"What's the solution?"
"That is, you and I tie our arms, go to the Holy Lord to plead guilty, and resign ourselves to fate." The eldest grandson Wuji said.
Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't make up his mind, and the eldest grandson Hengan smiled bitterly on the side: "Kill the prince, now our crime is a capital crime, and it is a moment to be able to pass for a while." It is not known when the Western Liang army will attack, but if we do not launch it, we are afraid that we will be killed soon. If you can escape this difficulty and find a way to deal with the Western Liang Army, you can only say that you can take one step at a time. Whether to die immediately or wait for the right time can only be decided by King Qin. ”
After thinking about it, Li Shimin could only agree to this strategy and asked: "Where does the inner city come from, where do you have manpower?" ”
The eldest grandson Wuji perked up and said word for word: "Xuanwu Gate!" ”
