Chapter 450: The Attitude of the Turks

In the first month of the thirteenth year of the great cause, the Wagangzhai people will set up a banquet to celebrate Li Mi's recovery, before the banquet, Wang Dangren suddenly invited Li Mi to the Pushan public camp to say that there is something important to report, Li Mi arrived at the Pushan public camp and was protected by hundreds of elite warriors, Li Mi was furious, angrily asked Wang Dangren what he wanted to do, Wang Dangren only said that it was for the sake of Wagangzhai, and personally escorted Li Mi to the Juyi Hall with hundreds of elite warriors.

Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng and others all arrived at the Juyi Hall, nearly 100 generals from the inner and outer camps were almost all there, and the hall was full of tables, wine and meat, and only Li Mi could come.

Zhai Rang and the two brothers were whispering something, Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng were sitting together to discuss the military situation, at this time, Zhang Liang walked up to Zhai Rang and said that Mi Gong had something to do with a little later, Zhai Rang smiled and said It doesn't matter, it's all his own brother and so on.

Zhang Liang answered, turned around and was just about to leave, when suddenly someone stood up and shouted loudly: "Zhai Rang is unkind and unjust, and he actually arranged an ambush outside the hall to kill the secret prince!" ”

Zhai Rang was shocked and was about to reprimand angrily. Zhang Liang suddenly made a knife and chopped off his eldest brother Zhai Hong's head. Zhai Rang was suddenly frightened, just because of this effort, dozens of generals from the outer battalion rushed up, and they actually divided Zhai Rang's body with a knife. Zhai Rang's martial arts were exquisite, but he was poisoned by Zhang Liang in the wine, and his limbs were weak and difficult to resist. Wang Bodang of the inner camp, Xie Yingdeng and the others immediately drew their knives to kill outside, but they were stopped by the ambush soldiers under Zhang Liang's ambush, and most of the more than a dozen soldiers and horses in the inner camp were chopped into meat paste before they could get out of the room.

Xie Yingdeng stabbed a general from a foreign battalion, rushed out of the Juyi Hall, and turned around to see that Wang Bodang had been besieged and had been stabbed two or three times, he shouted loudly for his own soldiers, gritted his teeth and turned around and killed back. After saving Wang Bodang, he was surrounded by soldiers and horses from the outer battalion. When I looked at it again, the personal soldiers brought by him, Wang Bodang and others had already been shot into hedgehogs by random arrows.

Shan Xiongxin was the most brave but did not bring weapons, grabbed a bench and knocked down five or six people one after another to take the door out, but was stopped by countless soldiers and horses from the outer camp at the door, Shan Xiongxin knocked down one person and grabbed a horizontal knife and rushed out to kill. didn't rush out a few steps, he was surrounded by dozens of spearmen, dozens of spears stabbed in a disorderly manner, and Shan Xiongxin accidentally pierced his calf and fell down. He sat on the ground, still relying on the horizontal knife to protect his whole body, but he couldn't dodge, and soon he couldn't protect it in a hurry, and was stabbed through a bloody hole in the shoulder by a shot.

Wang Bodang was seriously injured and fell unconscious, Xie Yingdeng dragged him out to kill, but he was slashed in the back, he didn't wear armor at all when he came to the banquet, this knife almost split his vertebrae, his body rushed forward, and Wang Bodang fell to the ground at the same time. More than a dozen generals from outside the camp rushed over and were about to be cut down with their swords.

It happened that Li Mi arrived, and he shouted loudly in a hurry: "Leave people under the knife!" ”

He dragged a remnant, moved to the hall and looked at the mess, looking at the chopped corpses of Zhai Rang and Zhai Hong and others, his face was as white as paper in surprise, and then he hugged Zhai Rang's corpse and cried, crying while angrily reprimanding the generals of the outer battalion: "Wait for me!" will trap me in unkindness! ”

He shouted loudly: "Don't hurt Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng's lives again, otherwise I will also be killed by a headhead!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to move again, Wang Dangren and Zhang Liang saw that the big thing had been accomplished, and most of the generals in the inner camp were killed, especially Zhai Hong and Zhai Rang's brothers were dead, and only three of the generals in the inner camp were left: Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng and Shan Xiongxin. Zhang Liang made a look and motioned to Wang Dangren to take advantage of Li Mi's presence in the hall and go out to kill Shan Xiongxin. Wang Dangren nodded, and went out with a knife to kill Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin was unable to move, and in the blink of an eye, he was injured in a few places. The besieged had no power to fight back, but saw Wang Dangren walking out with a knife. Shan Xiongxin was shocked, where do you care about your demeanor and identity, he forced the soldiers from the outer camp to retreat with a few knives in succession, shouted Mi Gong to save me, and then knelt down with a plop.

"Mi Gong! Please spare my life! ”

He fell to the ground and shouted, and Wang Dangren sneered and was about to swing his knife and cut down.

Li Mi stumbled out and loudly reprimanded Wang Dangren. Wang Dangren couldn't step forward to kill people again, so he had to retreat to the side with a little regret. Shan Xiongxin knelt and moved a few steps forward, holding Li Mi's stump leg and begging loudly, begging Li Mi to spare his life.

"Mi Gong must have forgotten that it was Shan who rescued you from the Eastern Capital! Mi Gong, Shan is willing to follow Mi Gong to repay him with death, and ask for Mi Gong's kindness! ”

Li Mi looked up to the sky and cried, scolded Zhang Liang and others, and then personally helped Shan Xiongxin up and promised not to kill him. He also sent people to send Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng to Langzhong for treatment of their wounds, and buried all the dead today. Regardless of the inner camp or the outer battalion, all the soldiers died in front of the battle and were buried thickly. Shan Xiongxin knelt on the ground and cried, saying that Mi Gong was benevolent and righteous.

That night, Li Mi instructed Zhang Liang to lead people to wash almost the entire inner camp of Wagangzhai with blood, and the officials above the rank of lieutenant and Zhai Rang's family and cronies killed more than 400 people, and the Zhai brothers were destroyed. It's just that Li Mi will never admit that he let Zhang Liang lead the troops to wash the inner camp in blood, and for a while, the entire Wagangzhai people were panicked.

Li Mi protected Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng, and Shan Xiongxin from dying, and then ordered the whole army to pay filial piety to Zhai Rang, the big boss of Wagangzhai. He cried in front of Zhai Rang's grave, crying heartbreakingly. Even the remaining leaders of the inner camp sighed with emotion, there were people who really believed that he had no feelings for the killing at the banquet, and it was all planned by Zhang Liang and Wang Dangren.

Li Mi, who just personally supported the coffin to bury Zhai Rang, accepted the request of his generals on the third day after the death of Zhai Rang and others, and was promoted to the king of Wei.

Taiyuan Tang Mansion

In the middle of February of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, the Li family suddenly got the news from Chang'an, and the messenger who delivered the news ran and killed five horses along the way. Li Yuan was shocked when he heard the news, and his face was as white as paper. He scolded the case, and finally vomited blood in grief and almost fainted.

At the end of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause, someone reported and exposed that Li Yuan, who was left behind in Taiyuan, gathered troops to rebel. Yang Yu, the acting king of Chang'an, was immediately frightened and changed color, while sending people to Jiangdu to report to Yang Guang, while sending forbidden troops to surround Li Yuan's mansion in Chang'an, and arresting all the people of the Li family in Chang'an, Yang Yu listened to the advice of Huyalang general Song Laosheng and cut off the heads of hundreds of people in the Li family.

More than a dozen of Li Yuan's children left in Chang'an were killed, the youngest of whom was less than four years old.

Only Li Huining, the daughter of the concubine, got the news before, and her husband Chai Shao escaped from Chang'an overnight and survived.

Li Yuan, who got the news, was so angry that he vomited blood, and Liu Wenjing, Pei Lin and others took the opportunity to persuade him to raise troops immediately. Li Yuan Yunzhi, on that day, the soldiers and servants of the Li family in Taiyuan all wore filial piety, and tens of thousands of white armor swore to go out on the school field. Li Yuan raised troops in the name of the Qing monarch's side and personally led 30,000 elite soldiers south.

He asked Yu eldest grandson Shunde and Liu Hongji, both of whom said that the son Li Yuanji could stay in Taiyuan, but he needed to be assisted by someone who was old and respectful, and Chen Yinshou had to do so. Li Yuan adopted the suggestion of the two of them and ordered Li Yuanji to lead 15,000 troops to garrison Taiyuan, and Chen Yinshou to assist Yuanji as the chief historian.

With Liu Hongji as the vanguard and Li Shimin as the deputy general, he led an army of 5,000 to advance. With Li Jiancheng as the head of the march, he led an army of 5,000 to suppress the rear team and protect the grain and grass.

Seeing that the army was about to go on the march, Li Yuan's face was still cloudy.

Li Shimin came to resign, and when he saw Li Yuan's unkind face, he hurriedly said, "Is my father unwell?" Otherwise, how many days will we delay before sending troops? Recuperate for a while. ”

"Nonsense!"

Li Yuan said: "You have also led the army, and you should know the military order like a mountain." The military order for the army to be drawn has already been issued, how can it still be delayed? ”

"The child is just worried about his father'......"

Li Shimin bowed his head.

Li Yuan saw that he was so frightened that his face turned a little pale, and he couldn't bear it in his heart: "Forget it, you are also a filial piety." You've come to bid me farewell? Remember, Hongji has been in battle for a long time, and he has repeatedly made military exploits when he was in Liaodong, you are a deputy general, don't be reckless, listen to Hongji more in everything, he is more experienced than you! ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Remember, child! ”

"Hmm...... Go ahead! ”

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "You are the vanguard deputy general, don't miss the time to set off."

Li Shimin answered and was about to leave, but he took a step and was suddenly stopped by Li Yuan.

"Shimin, what do you think about the matter of Chang'an?"

Li Yuan suddenly asked, which made Li Shimin's heart skip a beat.

"The child swears to kill Song Laosheng and avenge his brothers and sisters!"

Li Yuan waved his hand and said a little tiredly: "I'm asking you, what do you think about this matter, not for you to make a statement." ”

"The child feels ......"

Li Shimin swallowed quietly and spitted: "There must be a villain who did it on purpose, and the matter here in Taiyuan will never reach Chang'an!" ”

Li Yuan hummed and said, "If I know who spread the news, I will eat its flesh raw!" ”

Li Shimin's heart trembled violently, and the fear in his heart spread irrepressibly.

Li Yuan may have been overly sad and tired, and he didn't notice Li Shimin's somewhat ugly expression: "There is another thing that is worrying, I sent three groups of people to Saibei to contact Shibi Khan, but there is no news back until now." I wonder if the news has also leaked that the people I sent have been killed. ”

"Forget it"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin and waved his hand and said, "You go, don't let Hongji and the others be anxious."

Li Shimin hurriedly said goodbye and left, not wanting to stay in the study for another minute. The murderous aura on Li Yuan's body was too strong, so strong that it almost froze his heart.

At this moment, Chen Yinshou and Pei Lin came together, greeted Li Shimin at the door, and the two walked into the study. Li Yuan told him about sending a messenger to Saibei, and Pei Lin frowned and said: "This trip to Saibei to the Turkic royal court has to pass through Liu Wuzhou's territory, isn't it..."

"Without the help of the Turks, I am afraid that the matter of raising troops will really be delayed."

"I heard that out of Youzhou Yanshan to the north, there is a new Turkic tribe, its leader is the daughter of Shibi Khan, known as the golden wolf saint Ashina Duoduo, there are 100,000 wolf riders under his command, it seems that he controls the grassland in the east for Shibi Khan, and it is closer to Taiyuan than to the royal court, didn't he send someone to visit you a few days ago, can you contact it?"

"Try it"

Li Yuan rubbed the corners of his sour eyebrows and said, "I forgot about this, it's good that none of the 100,000 wolves will come, all I want is the attitude of the Turks." ”
