"Song Jingang" Li Xin took the letter, opened it, looked stunned, and said in a lost voice.

"Song Jingang actually died, didn't he say that he fled to the Turks? How could it be dead? Ma Zhou understood the truth of this, when Li Yuan rebelled and defeated Chang'an, and in the north, Song Jingang also followed Liu Wuzhou to rebel, after Li Shimin returned to the army, attacked Liu Wuzhou, killed Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang failed to escape, fled to Dingxiang, and with the assistance of the Turks, he was also named Khan.

"Sick to death, no matter how powerful it was before, after living in Dingxiang, plus the color of wine, living a drunken life in Dingxiang, now finally can't support it, died of illness, the general broke through Dingxiang, and Song Jigang's coffin is still placed on the Dingxiang Palace." Li Xin threw the letter aside and said, "There is another child with him, named Yang Zhengdao, who was also sent back by the general. Li Xin remembered that he thought of Yang Jun in front of Chang'an City, and he was tricked by himself in Luoyang, but he didn't expect that there was a posthumous son at this time, called Yang Zhengdao.

"The general actually captured Dingxiang, so I'm afraid Jieli Khan will be in a hurry." Ma Zhou thought for a while and said: "The Turks will not let the general's soldiers and horses return to Guanzhong, and Jieli Khan will definitely raise a large army to attack the general." ”

"Yes, it is this truth, Song Jingang died when he died, but Yang Zhengdao can't die, how to say, he is also a member of the Yang family." Li Xin sighed: "Back in Luoyang, Lone ruthlessly dug a big pit for Yang Yong, making Yang Yong lose his position as the crown prince. Yang Zhengdao is just a child, let's stay in Guanzhong! ”

Ma Zhou and Liang Shuo glanced at each other, their eyes flickered, although Li Xin had no other thoughts, but Yang Zhengdao was a member of the Yang family, Li Xin could tolerate Yang Yu, but if the strength of the rest of the Yang family was too much, it would be extremely unfavorable to Li Xin's descendants. With the increase in the prestige of Li Shin. There are more and more voices of the ministers of the court, although they have not been mentioned in front of Li Xin, but the scholars of the Wude Hall and the scholars of the Wuying Palace below do not know how many times they have said that the titles and official positions of the ministers of civil and military affairs cannot be promoted, and these are all waiting for Li Xin to ascend the throne and become emperor.

According to the agreement made between Li Xin and Yining Tianzi back then, in addition to the Li family, the only people who can be crowned king are the people of the Yang family, of course, as Li Xin's courtiers, the Yang family is less. Li Xin and his descendants can stabilize the country, the country and the people are safe, and now there is one more Yang Zhengdao, he is the son of Yang Yin, the king of Qi, and when he is the nephew of today's son, he must also be a role of a king in the future, Liang Shuo and Ma Zhou are Li Xin's courtiers, so naturally they will not let such a thing happen.

After the three of them retreated, Ma Zhou and Liang Shuo called Shen Qianqiu. said: "Lord Shen, now that winter is coming, on the grassland, the wind and snow are coming. Yang Zhengdao is just a baby, and it is normal if something happens on the road, what does the general think? ”

Shen Qianqiu looked at Ma Zhou, and finally landed on Liang Shuo. His face was gloomy, he thought about it, and finally said in a low voice: "This matter is very important. If I let the prime minister know, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat and walk around! What's more, this matter is not something that Jinyiwei should be in charge of, the two adults, please forgive me for not being able to agree to the two of you. ”

Ma Zhou and Liang Shuo glanced at each other, looking at Shen Qianqiu with a slight dissatisfaction, Shen Qianqiu's face changed slightly, and suddenly said in a low voice: "The general is leading the army forward at this moment, why don't the two adults write a letter to the general?" ”

"No need." Ma Zhou and Liang Shuo glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "General Shen go down and get busy!" After the two finished speaking, they turned around and left, Shen Qianqiu looked at the backs of the two, his face was cloudy, he thought about it, looked at the big tent not far behind him, and finally stomped his feet fiercely, turned around and left, and soon disappeared into the big tent.

In the camp hundreds of miles away, Xiao Mo walked around in the big rise, his face was gloomy, he had already received reliable news, Zhang Xiu really went to see Li Xin, and even the people around Zhang Xiu were sure that Li Xin was ready to seal Zhang Xiu as the county prince, which made Xiao Mo even more angry, although Zhang Xiu was arrogant and domineering before, Xiao Mo also had the intention of getting rid of him, just because Li Xin's army was nearby, the two sides were just separated by the Dangyang River, Xiao Mo did not dare to kill Zhang Xiu easily, so he had been forbearing, Now he has finally decided to kill Zhang Xiu.

"Your Majesty."

Outside the big tent into four middle-aged Han, respectively, Qin King Lei Shimeng, Chu King Zheng Wenxiu, Lu King Wan Zhan, Song King Yang Daosheng, although everyone is a little domineering on weekdays, but on the surface still maintain the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, at this time Li Xin led the army to come, and everyone was barely able to unite and deal with Li Xin together. It was only after entering the big tent that I found that something was wrong, all the kings had arrived, but there was no Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi, and looking at Xiao Miao's gloomy face, I knew that something big must have happened.

"Zhang Xiu has defected to Li Xin, and Li Xin has crowned him as the prince of Changsha County, a man who is about to die, but he is dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Festival, which is really ridiculous." Xiao Miao's face was gloomy and he said in a low voice. The voice was like that of a wounded beast, and its face was hideous and chilling.

"Your Majesty, is there really any evidence?" Lei Shimeng said with a slight sigh. When Xiao Mian rebelled, it was actually led by Dong Jingzhen, and everyone rebelled together, but Dong Jingzhen was a captain in Yuezhou, with the highest official position, and the rest of Lei Shimeng was also a captain, but there were not as many soldiers and horses in his hands as Dong Jingzhen, and the other Zheng Wenxiu, Xu Xuanche, Wan Zhan, Xu Deji, and Guo Hua were just a brigade commander, and Zhang Xiu, a native of Chuzhou, was not even a brigade commander. Everyone was originally going to be headed by Dong Jingzhen, but Dong Jingzhen said to everyone: "I have always been humble, although I pretend to be famous, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public." Luochuan County Ling Xiao Milling, a descendant of the former Liang Emperor, is generous and generous, and has the legacy of Emperor Wu of Liang. Moreover, I have heard that when the emperor rises, there will be a commandment. The crown belt of the Sui Dynasty is called 'Qiliang', which is a sign of Xiao's Zhongxing. Wouldn't it be better to push him now as the main and to respond to the heavens? So later, he simply supported Xiao Mo as the emperor.

Now Xiao Mo is the emperor, but how many old brothers are left? Dong Jingzhen was killed, and Xu Deji and Guo Hua were killed by the rebels in the fight. Now Xiao Mo is ready to kill Zhang Xiu again, and he doesn't know how much his brothers can live in the future?

"Zhang Xiu has 60,000 soldiers and horses, if Li Xin suddenly leads the army to kill us when he attacks us, what should we do?" Zheng Wenxiu said with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Kill." Wan Zhan said very little, but he still agreed with Xiao Miao's point of view, and said: "Zhang Xiu, this person looks at the wolf Gu with eagles, is arrogant and domineering, and is not a human minister!" Kill them. ”

"Why, don't you all want to? Do you think I'm willing to kill my brother? I don't want to, but I have to be like this, don't forget, he is no longer our brother now, he is already Li Xin's person, hehe, Changsha County Duke, tsk, took refuge in Li Xin, this Changsha County Duke is much more majestic than his Qi King! Xiao Mo snorted coldly and looked at everyone, his vicious eyes were full of suspicion, but he hid it well, and everyone kept their heads down, so they were not discovered, Xiao Mo didn't believe anyone at this time, even a few people in front of him.

"How did the emperor kill him?" Wan Zan said worriedly: "Li Xin's army is very close to us, but in a hundred miles, Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses are on the side of the Dangyang River, once they attack Zhang Xiu, they will definitely be known by Li Xin, Li Xin's 100,000 army will take the opportunity to attack, we are afraid we can't resist it!" ”

"Your Majesty, it's better to deprive Zhang Xiu of his military power and then reason." Lei Shimeng thought about it and suggested.

"I'm afraid it's hard to take away his military power, and now the emperor's holy decree may not work." Wan Zan said disdainfully: "If Zhang Xiu still listens to the emperor's holy decree, how can the emperor be so angry." ”

Xiao Mian's face was embarrassed, and it was really like what he said, Zhang Xiu, as the pioneer of the front, didn't listen to his holy decree at all now, otherwise, why would he be so troublesome?

"What does the emperor mean?" Lei Shimeng said in a low voice.

"Please Zhang Xiu come to the camp." Xiao Mo thought for a while, looked at everyone fiercely and said: "Attract Zhang Xiu to the camp, everyone make it clear, if he is really ready to surrender Li Xin, I have nothing to say, let him and his family follow Li Xin, but the 60,000 army is our Liang, this 60,000 army must not let Zhang Xiu take away, you were all Zhang Xiu's colleagues back then, if you want to persuade him to come, he will definitely come." ”

Xiao Mo looked at everyone, his eyes flickered, there was a faint hint of fierceness, his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was deciding something, and said: "Zhongqing, now that Li Xin's army is outside, if we can't unite together, sooner or later we will all be Li Xin's prisoners." The picturesque rivers and mountains in the south of the Yangtze River will also be owned by Li Xin and fall into the hands of Li Xin, do you still have glory and wealth? Will Li Xin's courtiers still take Zhongqing to heart? ”

"It's impossible to come to the emperor's camp, let's go to the minister's camp!" Wan Zan thought for a while and said. Among the many princes, Wan Chan is not very entangled with other princes, although Zhang Xiu is domineering and looks down on Wan Zhan, but he does not take Wan Chan to heart.

"That's very good." Xiao Mo thought for a while and nodded, and said: "Since this is the case, according to Brother Wan, kill Zhang Xiu, Brother Wan will rectify Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses, I believe that Li Xin is really so powerful, we will attack together with hundreds of thousands of horses, and Li Xin's soldiers and horses will really be able to defeat us?" ”

"Obey." Wan Chan sighed and nodded, in fact, Wan Chan also knew, saying that he would invite Zhang Xiu to come to negotiate, but in fact he was preparing to attack Zhang Xiu in Wan Zhan's camp, kill Zhang Xiu, and then send someone to seize Zhang Xiu's military power in one fell swoop, which is the simplest and most effective way, and it is also the way with the least loss. Therefore, it can be recognized by everyone. (To be continued......)
