Chapter 701 Idiots can't see through it!
Li Shimin looked down at the gauze thickly wrapped around his upper body, and couldn't help but think of the fierce eyes of Qi Shuming before he died when he entered Nanzhang City that day, and the random arrows on the city wall, that scene can still appear clearly in his mind. Until now, he didn't understand why Qi Shuming could make such a ruthless choice.
He has never believed that there is such a thing as absolute loyalty in the world, so he can't figure it out. Why did Qi Shuming kill himself, is it really because Xiao Mo is a monarch worthy of his desperate service?
He doesn't think he's a charming person who swears to the death, so he doesn't think Xiao Mo has this charm.
Li Shimin knows that if his performance can't make people see hope, then there is no doubt that there will be no one around him to follow, and now his strength is getting stronger and stronger because people see the hope of him and the Tang Dynasty to rule the river. Even if there is no way to defeat the Tang Dynasty now controlled by Li Xian in a short period of time, at least there is hope to take Sichuan Shu and the land south of the Yangtze River, as long as a situation is formed with Datang, then those who follow him will be able to see their good future.
The reason why Li Xian has so many tiger generals and so many civil servants is just because he temporarily occupies an advantage, and Li Xian's cleverness lies in not being in a hurry to become the emperor, so the families who support the Li Tang Dynasty will not have much resistance. Slowly, when Li Xian reached some kind of agreement with them, then the day when Li Xian ascended the throne and became emperor was not far off.
This kind of agreement is not necessarily the result of sitting down and seriously deliberating, but only a tacit understanding of coexistence.
And what Li Xian is doing now is to let this tacit understanding form as soon as possible.
Even Li Xian, who has the advantage, is not surrounded by loyal ministers, and Li Shimin naturally knows what kind of people are following him now. Speaking of which, there are many families who secretly support him. There is nothing new in this kind of family's usual trick, it is nothing more than taking sides on both sides.
Li Xiansheng, they will not have much to lose. If Li Shimin wins, they will naturally gain a lot. Whoever sits in that chair in the end, they are not losers.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin had to think of Han Shixu.
When he fled into the mountains, there were only a few hundred people left around him, and it was unknown whether he would be able to get out at that time. I'm afraid that most of the people in Chang'an City will think that they will die in that mountain. But Han Shixuan seems to firmly believe that he can come out, why?
At that time, in fact, he was already suspicious of Han Shixu, but there was no point in doubting without any reason, and how could Li Shimin give up the help in his hands? Without the tens of thousands of horses in Han Shixu's hands, relying on himself to fight and accumulate one fortress after another, when will he be able to force Xiao Mo to fight back like today?
He was suspicious of Han Shicao, but he had to use Han Shicao.
He didn't trust Han Shicao, but he had to put Han Shicao in a position that was only a little lower than himself.
Leaning back in the chair, thinking about what happened after his failed attack on Chang'an, Li Shimin himself felt a little like falling into a deep dream, a little incredible, and a little magical.
When he calmed down, he realized that he had indeed gone from falling to rising a little faster. It's a little smoother, it's too incredible.
It is no exaggeration to say that without Han Shicao, he would not have been able to recover so quickly, and without Han Shicao, he would not be able to say that he would still be running around like a lost dog.
Now that he has nearly 200,000 troops under his command, although it is not an easy task to Kexiangyang, as long as Xiao Miao's Liang State is destroyed, then at least a dozen counties will fall into his hands, and then he will wave his troops straight into Sichuan and Shu, so it seems that it is not impossible to confront the Tang Dynasty controlled by Li Xian.
But he's worried now.
Because Han Shixu's prestige in the army does not seem to be lower than him at all.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
"Li Piaofeng, you came to find Gu just to say this?"
Li Shimin raised his head and glanced at Li Piaofeng, who had shrunk his whole person into a black robe, it was precisely because of Li Piaofeng's words that he thought about it so much, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.
"Han Shixuan betrayed King Yan, his excuse was that he was not a subordinate of King Yan, but only cooperated with King Yan, so there was no so-called betrayal. From beginning to end, I am responsible for contacting Han Shicao in the Military Audit Office under King Yan, I do not deny that His Royal Highness King Yan has arranged from the beginning to hold you up first, and your current success is not unrelated to King Yan's laissez-faire, and there are two advantages to doing so. ”
"First, because you are still alive and your strength is getting stronger and stronger, then those who support you in Chang'an City will be very excited, and they will think that they see hope, so they will show their feet. What King Yan wants is to let them jump out by themselves, and then cut them off one by one. ”
"Second, because of Han Shicao's presence, no matter how successful you are, it doesn't seem to be a problem for King Yan, and you can also use your hand to destroy Xiao Miao's Liang Kingdom, of course, it is also possible that Xiao Miao's destroyed you, and it is also possible that you and Xiao Miao's both lose...... But there is no doubt that this is by no means a bad thing for His Royal Highness King Yan. Most of the men and horses under the command of King Yan have been transferred to the past, and they are about to move troops against Hebei, and they have no spare strength to attack Xiao Milling in the south, and the two-line battle is very likely to drag His Royal Highness King Yan down. That's why King Yan thought of such a method, which you can also understand as raising the enemy to control the enemy. ”
"The key lies in Han Shicao and the Military Inspectorate who controls Han Shicao, that is, me."
Li Piaofeng pondered for a while and continued: "Why was it that when Xiangyang was about to be conquered, Han Shixuan came to you to confess and said that he was the person arranged by King Yan?" Why was it at this time that you lured me out and drugged me to be caught by you, and then tortured me for six days, which led to my betrayal, and then led to the fact that the secret spies assigned by the Military Inspectorate were almost completely eliminated? ”
Li Piaofeng looked at Li Shimin and asked word by word: "If Han Shixuan thinks that he is not a subordinate of King Yan, but just a cooperation, then what kind of attitude does he have towards you?" Isn't it also a collaboration? ”
After asking this sentence, Li Piaofeng looked at Li Shimin and quietly waited for an answer.
But Li Shimin couldn't give him the answer he wanted.
……
……
There is no doubt that Li Piaofeng's words moved Li Shimin's heart. There is no doubt that the problems that Li Piaofeng saw are indeed big problems for Li Shimin. If you don't figure out Han Shicao's position and what Han Shicao wants, then Li Shimin will undoubtedly be on pins and needles.
Therefore, although Li Piaofeng, who left Li Shimin's big tent, did not get the answer he wanted, he was still very satisfied with this conversation and was very satisfied that he had disturbed the heart of Li Shimin, the king of Qin. Although Li Shimin's face didn't seem to change in the slightest from beginning to end, he just asked him during the period, "Are you just here to say this?" But Li Piaofeng was sure that Li Shimin's opinion of Han Shixuan would inevitably change.
While walking towards his military tent, Li Piaofeng couldn't help but want to laugh.
"I'm not a big deal, but I can make it uncomfortable for you all."
muttered to himself in a low voice, and the smugness on the corner of Li Piaofeng's mouth became a little thicker.
Who knows, the pattern of the world will change because of a small person? Will it be because of the betrayal of this little person, which will lead to a reversal of the general trend of the whole world?
Han Se-cao...... You should regret leaving me, and the hatred of these hundreds of knives on my body will not compensate me even if I break your body into thousands of pieces. And...... It is not these punishments that you owe me the most, but that you have ruined my heart. I always thought I was a loyal head of the Military Inspectorate, and I always thought that I would regard King Yan as heaven. But it was because of your betrayal of me that I also became a traitor. ”
Li Piaofeng thought about this in his heart, and the coldness in his eyes became thicker and thicker.
"You have ruined my loyalty, and made me a traitor whom everyone spurns. Then you have to pay the corresponding price, no matter whether you really have other intentions, whether you are really loyal to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, I will try my best to make you a traitor, at least let the king of Qin think you are a traitor. ”
These are the things he can't say.
I can only think about it in my heart, and every time I think about it, I will have a sense of revenge.
After returning to his military tent, Li Piaofeng, who opened the curtain, was stunned. There was a man sitting in his tent, drinking with his head down, and the dishes were already on the table, and they were steaming.
"I heard that you just sued me in front of King Qin?"
Han Shixu, who was drinking in Li Piaofeng's military tent, raised his head and glanced at him, then smiled and pointed to the stool next to him and said, "I brought wine and food, come to celebrate with you." ”
Li Piaofeng's eyes changed, he took a deep breath and walked into the tent. Sitting down opposite Han Shicao, picking up the wine that Han Shicao had just poured and drinking it all, Li Piaofeng glanced at Han Shicao and asked, "What do you want to do when you come to me?" ”
"You think I'm angry?"
Han Shixuan smiled and said, "Then it can only mean that you don't understand me, let alone King Qin...... If you don't know me or King Qin, don't you feel that you are a little anxious to start taking revenge on me so soon? Li Piaofeng, in fact, no matter what you say to King Qin today, no matter how reasonable and moving it is, you still can't get the result you want. ”
He said confidently: "Do you believe it or not, if I walk into King Qin's tent now, King Qin will tell me exactly what you said to him?" ”
Hearing this, Li Piaofeng became silent.
"I don't need you to say it, King Qin doesn't really trust me. Ever since I appeared by King Qin's side, he should have been suspicious of me...... The reason why he just doubted and didn't do anything was because he couldn't do without me. And now it's not much worse, kill me, who knows if the army will mutiny? How could King Qin watch what he had only gotten shatter and collapse overnight? ”
"Moreover, if Wei Chigong goes to say that I am suspicious, King Qin will care, and he cares very seriously. And you go...... Instead, he'll be a little more distracted from me. Have you forgotten who you are? You go and talk to King Qin...... King Qin is only afraid that more people will think that you want to take revenge. ”
Li Piaofeng nodded and said very seriously: "What you said is right, it is true that I am too anxious." ”
"Drink a bar."
Han Shixuan smiled and said, "The reason why I'm not angry with you, and even came to talk to you about this, is because I still need your existence...... Because only you can clean up all the people that King Yan has placed around me. ”
"Drinking with an enemy is not necessarily an unhappy thing."
He filled Li Piaofeng with another glass of wine and said, "I hope the cooperation is pleasant." ”
Li Piaofeng was silent, and suddenly a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.
……
……
Half an hour after Li Piaofeng returned to his military tent, the captain on duty guarding the gate hurriedly ran over, ran outside Li Shimin's tent through his military tent, stood at the door and said two words respectfully inside, Han Shixuan, who happened to go out and walked back, saw this scene, and I don't know whether Li Piaofeng, who was really or pretending to send him out, also saw this scene, and the two people who looked like they were separated and could even be said to be incompatible looked at each other, and then made the same choice.
Han Shixu, who was going to go back to his tent, didn't move, and Li Piaofeng, who was going to go back, didn't move.
Because the two of them were very curious, it was already the second half of the night, and it had already passed, and something urgent had happened to make the captain on duty dare to run to wake up Li Shimin at this time.
Not long after, the curtain of the big tent was opened, and Li Shimin actually walked out in person, and then walked in the direction of the gate with the captain.
At this time, who can actually work Li Shimin to greet in person?
Han Shixuan and Li Piaofeng glanced at each other again, both with a little curiosity in their eyes.
"Guess who it is?"
Han Shixu asked with interest.
Li Piaofeng pondered for a while, shook his head, and said: "According to King Qin's arrogant temperament, even if Xiao Mo suddenly realized that he ran out and surrendered at this moment, I am afraid that King Qin will not be interested in going to the door to greet him." In my opinion, either there is news from Chang'an City, or it is ......"
Han Shixuan smiled and said, "Even if those few unsuccessful guys in Chang'an City come by themselves, King Qin may not be willing to go out. Those guys played some small intrigues and tricks reluctantly, that is, to find something unhappy for King Yan, who did not sit on the dragon chair in Chang'an City but did the emperor's business. If he really annoyed His Royal Highness King Yan, he would only need one sentence to make Chang'an City bleed. ”
"Speaking of which......"
Han Shixuan smiled and said, "You should know more about King Yan than I do. ”
"King Yan's temperament is actually more direct than King Qin, the reason why those clowns in Chang'an City can still jump around is because they are still useful, and King Yan naturally has a plan to keep them. As for what is plotting, in fact, you should be able to see it now, so naturally I don't need to pretend to say anything. ”
"Haha!"
Han Shixuan smiled and said, "Look, can't you and I also be able to talk so calmly?" ”
"Just because I speak calmly doesn't mean I don't want to kill you."
Li Piaofeng replied lightly.
Han Shixuan shook his head noncommittally and said, "You haven't said anything yet." ”
"King Qin now has no shortage of enemies, what he lacks is helpers. If he can personally greet him out late at night, he will naturally not be an enemy, then he can only be a person who will be of great help to King Qin. Now there are still those who have this strength, but I'm afraid there are only two of them. ”
"Li Xiaogong is still waiting, it shouldn't be the person he sent."
"That's Li Daozong."
Li Piaofeng waved his hand, turned around and walked back: "It's a lot more boring if you already know who it is, it's better to go back to sleep, and when you can't sleep, think about how to better design and kill you next time." ”
"I'm waiting for you to succeed, but I don't think there's any hope for you."
Han Shixuan walked forward, with confidence on the corners of his mouth.
Li Piaofeng, who returned to the bed and lay down, still couldn't figure out what Han Shixuan wanted to do. Be honest with yourself? It's definitely a pointless thing. Li Piaofeng firmly believed that as long as he cleaned up all the people in the Yanyunzhai Military Inspection Department, Han Shixu would never leave him.
What he couldn't understand was where Han Shicao's self-confidence came from?
Han Shicao, what exactly does he want?
……
……
"The thirteenth general, meet His Royal Highness the King of Qin."
The black-robed heir thirteen gave Li Shimin a standard military salute, and then straightened up and stood up. Li Shimin's eyes kept staring at his face, frowning slightly. Because the current outfit of the thirteenth is too similar to Li Piaofeng, if you don't distinguish it carefully, it is easy to think that you are the same person when you look at the back.
"You have a wound on your face?"
Li Shimin did not ask him why he came, but asked something that seemed unreasonable.
"Yes"
Si Thirteen seemed slightly stunned, then nodded in reply.
"How did it hurt?"
"Stab wound...... I cut it myself. ”
The thirteenth replied earnestly.
"Oh?"
Li Shimin thought of Li Piaofeng, so he asked Si Thirteen: "It seems that you are also a person with a lot of stories on your body, can you let Gu see your face." ”
"If Your Highness doesn't mind, neither does the lowly position."
Thirteen pulled the cap down of his cloak, revealing his criss-crossed face.
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "If it weren't for the fact that I'm used to seeing Li Piaofeng's face now, I wouldn't be a little surprised when I saw you suddenly." Can you do such a cruel hand to yourself...... You have succumbed to Li Daozong's side. Li Daozong is not a general who likes to use ruthless people...... Lone likes it very much. ”
"I don't know who Li Piaofeng you are talking about, and I don't know how the general uses people."
Hei 13 replied in a serious tone: "If you don't cut these knives on your face, you may not survive, because you have a very powerful enemy, and this person is now almost standing at the pinnacle of power in the world. The general is willing to take me in, but he is also taking a great risk......"
"That's a shame."
Li Shimin smiled faintly.
As he spoke, he noticed that Li Shimin's hand had been on the hilt of the knife.
Behind Li Shimin stood four guards with knives, their eyes staring at their throats.
This is a person who doesn't trust anyone easily.
The thirteenth quickly made a judgment in his heart.
"Who is your enemy?"
Li Shimin asked.
"Humble ...... Don't want to say. ”
Si Thirteen raised his head, slowly pulled his hat up again, and then meticulously covered his mouth and nose with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of eyes. After covering that face, it looks much more pleasing to the eye.
"You're a nice guy, at least you won't grit your teeth and say anything like vowed revenge."
Li Shimin smiled, turned around and walked back: "Let's talk about it, what did Li Daozong ask you to come to see Lone?" Lone has already slept, and it is precisely because Li Daozong sent you here that he got up to greet him in person. If you don't let Lone hear something of interest, Lone doesn't mind the stick beating you back. ”
"The general asked the humble post to ask, what do you think of those letters from Lord Xiao Yu in Chang'an City? If Your Highness can give a reply to your humble position now, and you don't need Your Highness to call you, your humble position will immediately return to your life. ”
Hei Thirteen's eyes stared at Li Shimin's back, and found that Li Shimin's vigilance was so strong. Even with his back to himself, Li Shimin still maintains a posture that can draw a knife and kill people at any time.
"Xiao Yu?"
Li Shimin suddenly laughed, and laughed very happily: "There is only an idiot like him, and even now he is an idiot who thinks he can hide from Li Xian what he does." What did he say to prepare for Lone to go back to the throne and ascend to the throne, what to revive the Tang Dynasty, this idiot! ”
Li Shimin sneered: "The reason why he can do these things is because Li Xian asked him to do them. Because...... Li Xian is more than him, and more than anyone else, looking forward to taking the troops back to Chang'an! Li Xian is now busy dealing with Dou Jiande and is unable to go south, but he has the ability to hold Chang'an City! He didn't have the energy, the troops, the financial and material resources to fight over, so he racked his brains to let Lone go back, Xiao Yu couldn't see such a shallow idiot's scheme, what qualifications did he have to be Lone's courtier? ”
"Lone will have to fight back to Chang'an sooner or later, but not now!"
The thirteenth person was shocked in his heart, and he was a little afraid.
Li Shimin, he can see it so thoroughly!
"It's enough to fall once in one place, but can Lone make the same mistake twice?"
Li Shimin smiled coldly, turned around and looked at Hei Thirteen and said, "If Li Daozong is really willing to assist Gu, you can tell him when you go back that you can bring troops to vote!" ”
In a word, mess up all deployments!
