Li Shimin's soldiers and horses attacked very quickly, but in one day, the army crossed the Yellow River and captured Heyang. Li Shimin's army broke through the Yellow River defense line overnight and came to the gate of Mengjin City.

"It's coming, it's really coming." In Luoyang City, after Wang Shichong received the information about the loss of Heyang, his face changed, the information in his hand fell to the ground, and said: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, I didn't expect Li Xin to design such a big circle, or let you suffer a loss, Luoyang City will probably become your grave, tsk, Luoyang City is not so easy for you to attack." ”

"Father, isn't Li Xin already assassinated and injured?" Crown Prince Wang Xuanying asked with some surprise.

"How could he be so easily wounded? Li Xin is brave, he can hurt people with secret arrows in the army, how is it possible? But I know that those soldiers in the camp are loyal to him, how can they hurt him with an arrow? Wang Shichong said disdainfully: "If nothing else, Li Xin may have arrived at Tongguan at this time, and the army gathered here to defeat Li Shimin, who is his biggest enemy." ”

"Father, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are gathered under Wuguan!" Wang Xuanshu said with some suspicion.

"No, he already occupies Wuguan." Wang Shichong said in a very flat voice: "No, how can Li Xin be willing to come to save us Luoyang, where does our grain and grass come from, isn't it transported from Wuguan to Luoyang through Nanyang?" ”

"Already occupied Wuguan?" Wang Xuanshu's face was stunned, and he suddenly lost his voice and said, "How can it be so fast?" How could Li Xin occupy Wuguan so quickly. ”

"There aren't many people in Wuguan at all, how can they resist Li Xin's iron cavalry, it's okay, if he doesn't occupy Wuguan, I still don't believe him!" Wang Shichong said indifferently: "Order the internal guards to block the whole city, any city gate must be our people, and the ministers of the court and central government must not be allowed to approach the city gate." ”

"Father!" Wang Xuanying's face suddenly became gloomy. said: "My father suspects that the ministers of the court and the central government have colluded with Li Shimin, it is unlikely!" They supported their father's ascension to the throne! ”

"We are Hu people, the Kwantung family supports the Han people, purebred Han people, they look at Li Xin, but unfortunately Li Xin doesn't look down on them, they can't look down on the family, so they can only support Li Shimin, even if they are from Xianbei people, but they are always a little Han blood. is stronger than us, so they will support Li Shimin, do you think Li Shimin is so stupid, he knows that Luoyang City is high and deep, attacking Luoyang at this time can only make his head bleed, if there is no one to support him, he will not attack so rashly. ”

"Who could that be? So Erchen went and killed them. Wang Xuanshu said loudly.

"Who can you kill? The entire Kanto family? Lu Chu? Yuan Wendu or Zheng Shanguo? Even Li Xin in Guanzhong could only think of ways to slowly weaken these families, instead of forcibly taking action himself. The power of the family is very strong, and the only way to deal with it is to take it slowly. Not to mention us. Wang Shichong's face was gloomy and he said, "Wait! When Li Shimin is repulsed, I will settle accounts with them one by one. All right. Prince, order martial law! The entire city of Luoyang is under martial law. Li Shimin will let Haosheng taste my Wang Shichong's power this time. ”

Luoyang City, Zheng Shanguo's mansion, Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu, and so on all gathered together. Na Lu Chu glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "King Qin has sent troops and conquered Heyang. Now the soldiers and horses have arrived under the city of Mengjin, tonight, you can enter Mengjin, Wang Shichong thinks that Luoyang has eight passes, no matter how powerful the soldiers and horses of the King of Qin are, it is impossible to attack Luoyang so quickly, if you hear that Mengjin is lost, I am afraid you haven't woken up yet! Ha ha! Everyone also laughed, wasn't the loss of Heyang just the hands and feet of these people?

"There is news from Guanzhong, Li Xin was assassinated and injured, although his subordinate Lieutenant Chi Gong has conquered Wuguan, but the old man thinks that once Yu Chi Gong gets the King of Qin to attack Luoyang, he will immediately transfer his troops and horses to attack Nanyang, Nanyang County, must not fall into the hands of Li Xin." Zheng Shanguo touched his beard and said lightly: "Nanyang is where Luoyang's grain and grass supply is, although Li Zhao has Luoyang, they don't need to worry about this grain and grass problem in a short time, but it is better to be self-sufficient in the future." ”

"Who is guarding Nanyang?" Lu Chu glanced at Duan Da, who was sitting at the end, and said.

"It's not clear for the time being, some time ago, Wang Shichong recruited Wang Renze back from the Tiger Prison Pass, I suspect that Wang Renze went to Nanyang to guard, after all, we know the importance of Nanyang, Wang Shichong also knows that it is impossible for him to hand over an enemy like Nanyang to others to guard, and the people of the Wang family are still very reliable. I guess it's either Wang Renze or Wang Xuanshu. Duan Da said with some bitterness.

Nepotism is normal in this era, don't say that Wang Shichong is like this, even Li Zhao is the same, and even Li Xin, if it weren't for his relatives, otherwise, he would also use his relatives, I didn't see Duan Qi was his old minister from the dragon, his martial arts were not as good as Wei Chigong, and the march was not as good as Su Dingfang, but he still occupied the role of the middle protector and sat in Chang'an City, isn't this because he trusts Duan Da, and Li Xuanba, although he is brave, but he is not as good as Duan Decao in the use of soldiers, but he is still in charge of Shuofang, Controlling Liangzhou, this is also cronyism. Wang Shichong is even more so, especially now that Li Shimin's army is attacking, he attaches great importance to this place in Nanyang, and it is very likely that his son or nephew will go to a large extent.

"Let Zhang Zhi follow behind, as long as Luoyang falls into our hands, let Zhang Zhi kill Wang Renze or Wang Xuanshu immediately." Zheng Shanguo looked at Duan Da and said viciously.

Zhang Zhi is Duan Da's son-in-law, and now he is a general in the army, so Zheng Shanguo will let Duan Da make a move. Lu Chu also nodded and said: "Nanyang can't fall into the hands of Li Xin, otherwise, Li Xin's strength will increase greatly, not to mention, he will be able to get a passage to Jiangnan, and Luoyang is also a dispensable place for him." ”

"Yes." Duan Da nodded and said, "I'll arrange it when I go back." ”

"Wang Shichong is just a beard, and he actually thinks about Mu Monkey and crowns, it's a big joke, we are a Kanto family, how can we welcome a beard? If so, it is better to invite Li Xin to come. Zheng Shanguo said: "The Guanlong family switched to Li Xin, then our Kanto family will support Li Xin, this time, the Kanto family and the Guanlong family will face off again, and the old man will not believe that the Guanlong family can defeat us again." ”

"Father-in-law, have you decided to betray Your Majesty?" After returning to the mansion, Zhang Zhi glanced at his father-in-law Duan Da and said in a low voice: "The little son-in-law just found out that the entire Luoyang City has been under martial law. ”

What does this mean? Could it be that Wang Shichong has already discovered something? Duan Da asked with some concern. Although Duan Da has a bit of ability, he is timid in doing things, or to put it very simply, he is a very timid person, and at this time, he was a little scared when he heard his son-in-law say this.

"Perhaps." Zhang Zhi was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Wang Shichong is insidious and cunning by nature, although he has some small favors to the soldiers on the surface, but no one knows what he is thinking in his heart, the son-in-law is a little worried, Wang Shichong seems to know something, Luoyang martial law is nothing, if the son-in-law's soldiers and horses can't get close to the city gate, it will be more dangerous." ”

"Then you quickly send someone to try it." Duan Da thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "If it is really discovered, we can't interfere in it, Wang Shichong is not easy to mess with, we must immediately divide the line with them." ”

"Yes, son-in-law will arrange it." Zhang Zhi was also very worried in his heart, Duan Da was going to be unlucky, he was no better as Duan Da's son-in-law, and Wang Shichong was not so easy to speak.

"Hey, this kind of thing is really not easy to do." Duan Da waited for Zhang Zhi to send someone out before he sighed: "Actually, the old man still welcomes Li Xin to Luoyang in his heart, whether it is Wang Shichong or Li Shimin, they can't make Luoyang more prosperous, Luoyang seems to be more prosperous than Chang'an, what now?" Chang'an is far more prosperous than Luoyang. ”

"It is rumored that Li Xin has a bit of golden ability, I don't know but it's true, those big families in Guanzhong have made a lot of money after him." Zhang Zhi's eyes lit up and said, "Father-in-law, do you think King Tang will take the opportunity to send troops?" Wang Shichong is fighting with Li Shimin here, when both are defeated, will he take the opportunity to come out, I think that Tang Wang is not simple, extremely brave, if he is injured by a hidden arrow, this possibility is relatively small. The son-in-law suspected that Tang Wang must be hiding in the shadows. Waiting for the opportunity to strike! ”

"Is it possible?" Duan Da said with some hesitation.

"Quite possibly." Zhang Zhi said seriously.

"General." There was a panicked sound outside, Zhang Zhi walked out, and after half a sound, he walked in with a gloomy face, Duan Da looked distinct, and his face was not good-looking.

"You go see Wang Shichong!" Duan Da saw it in his eyes and immediately knew the outcome of the matter. Whether Wang Shichong didn't believe in others, or was on guard, no matter what, it could only show that Lu Chu and the others' calculations were probably going to fail, and Wang Shichong had already sensed that there was a force in the city that was opposing him.

"I'm afraid Wang Shichong doesn't believe us either, but we must be prepared, Zhang Zhi, it's inconvenient for me to come forward, you go! Go see Wang Shichong, hehe, if it is really as you said, it is not Wang Shichong or Li Shimin who wins the final victory, but Li Xin. Duan Da said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is to save your life at this time. ”

"Yes, son-in-law will go." Zhang Zhi hurriedly said. (To be continued......)
