Hedong Road, Taiyuan City.

On the empty snow in the north of the city, a silver light shone. Countless Beiming steel armor soldiers have gathered here! Infantry, cavalry, and artillery were lined up outside the city of Taiyuan. The sun and moon military flags are dancing in the wind. The flag of the Ming Dynasty is fluttering at the highest place.

After a few days of rapid marching day and night, the main force of Chen Dexing's army had already driven to the city of Taiyuan, the capital of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

The gate of Taiyuan City has been opened, and above the north gate of Taiyuan City, the banner of Datang has disappeared. I saw a convoy of chariots and horses, driving out of the city of Taiyuan, and weakly marching towards the Daming steel lions that covered the entire wilderness. The carriage contained two coffins, and beside it were two men in shrouds and tied up, walking with sighs and sighs. It's pathetic to look at.

The team stopped before reaching the high ground where Chen Dexing's Wang Qi was located, and the two men also knelt down in the snow with a plop: "Sinners Li Yanjian and Li Yanbang, welcome the Ming Dynasty, it's too late to return to the north, and it deserves to be a capital crime!" ”

This is Li Yanjian and Li Yanbang supporting the coffin.

The two brothers were really desperate, on the day Li Dagong brought bad news. Guo Kan and Yang Axi's army occupied Xinkou, the gateway north of Taiyuan, and then rushed to the city of Taiyuan without stopping. Seeing that the Ming soldiers were in steel armor and marching on horseback, Li Yanjian and Li Yanbang knew that the two of them could neither run nor fight. If you don't want to die, you have to surrender.

So the two brothers sent envoys to discuss with Guo Kan and Yang Axi, wanting to wait for Chen Dexing to arrive in Taiyuan before surrendering. In any case, Chen Dexing is the brother-in-law of the two of them after all-and Li Yanjian and Li Yanbang also asked the envoy to inquire about Li Cuixian's situation, but the news they got was worrying: Now the regent in Yanjing City is the concubine Guo Fu'er!

This seems to indicate that Li Cuixian has fallen out of favor. Most likely, he has already been placed under house arrest!

The two brothers who felt desperate came to help the coffin out today. It's kind of reducing the posture to a minimum. They don't dare to think about glory and wealth now, and they just want to live the rest of their lives in peace.

A few days ago, he was still a prince or a prince. Now that they are going to be prisoners, they may not even be able to save their lives, and the complexions of the two brothers of the Li family are naturally how ugly and ugly they are.

Chen Dexing hurriedly rode forward, and this scene was indeed beyond his expectations. After all, the Li family is Li Cuixian's maiden family, and they were allies against Mongolia in the past. Even if it's the opposite now, it can't be said that it is an enmity that does not share the sky, right? Besides, Li Cuixian has already gone to woo Li Yanguo, and most of them have succeeded. The future Li family is at least a royal family of overseas feudal countries.

"What's the matter? Why? No matter what you say, you are all Xian'er's brother. It is to return to the Ming Dynasty and to be a national relative! Come on, quickly untie them. ”

Hearing these words, the stone hanging in the hearts of the two Li Gongzi was lowered slightly, but they were only a little relieved. At this time, Yang Po'er turned over from the horse, ran over to pick up the two Li Gongzi, and took out a knife to cut the rope that bound the two. By the way, they searched the two of them, but found no hidden blades, so they nodded at Chen Dexing, who was sitting on horseback.

Chen Dexing jumped off the horse and strode forward. Grabbing a Li Gongzi's arm with one hand, he laughed and said, "Yan Jian and Yan Bang are all their own brothers...... What if you fought on the battlefield? It is nothing more than a battle in the world, and the winner is the king. The loser is the minister. Do you need to live or die? Even if the two of them still want to be a king, it's not impossible to negotiate...... It's a big deal! I have done the emperor of China, and there are still two or three hundred countries in the four corners of the world. It's not hard to get one for each of you. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare to ......" Li Yanjian shook his head again and again. He has read history books and knows what kind of life those princes and grandsons who died in history...... It's too late to pick up your tail. How dare you still reveal a little bit of wanting to be a king? Didn't the former queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty like to write a few whining poems, so he asked the emperor of the Zhao family to give him a drug? Anyway, Li Yanjian made up his mind, he would eat and wait for death in his life, he would not do anything, and he would not write poems and lyrics.

Chen Dexing looked at Li Yanbang with a smile again, the latter's head also shook like a wave drum, and he arched his hand and said: "The minister has no great ambitions, but he seeks peace and happiness, instead of leaving the country thousands of miles away, it is better to have hundreds of acres of land in Yanjing, collect some rent and live leisurely......

Is this to be a small landowner?

Chen Dexing shook his head, since these two were already frightened, there was nothing to say. If a puppet can't win his ambition, let alone a king? Without great ambitions, he went overseas to seal the country and was also a king of the country. Since they just want to spend the rest of their lives in peace, then give them some farms and houses, and keep them.

He turned his head and explained to Yang Po'er: "The two uncles let them go back to their mansions in the city, and all the offerings are preferred, and there is no need to be guarded." He looked back at Li Yanjian again, "Is there my harem of old Taishan in Taiyuan City?" ”

"Yes, yes...... Among them, there are a few beauties...... "Li Yanjian swallowed, and he didn't know how to say it." If Chen Dexing wanted his woman, then he didn't say a word, and immediately offered it with both hands - he didn't want to learn from Empress Li, and make Zhao Guangyi dissatisfied for the sake of a little Zhou Hou. But Chen Dexing inquired about his father Li Pu's harem......

"Oh, then send someone to Daizhou City, and then send the items in the palace along with the food and drink, and don't let Old Taishan suffer in Daizhou City."

Chen Dexing looked at Li Pu's two sons with a smile, and said with a smile: "If any of you have worked hard, go to Daizhou City to accompany Lao Taishan." By the way, help the Lone King with a word, the Lone King of Qingxu Land will be sealed to Yan Guo for twenty years, and will not be taken back until Yan Guo rebuilds Tang Guo overseas. As for Lao Taishan, please retire in Yanjing City in the future. ”

As Li Cuixian expected, Chen Dexing had no intention of physically eliminating Li Pu - now Li Cuixian's weight in his heart was getting heavier and heavier. In order to maintain the relationship with Li Cuixian, she can't kill her father!

A woman who can not only give birth to children for herself, but also go to the battlefield for herself, should still be cherished. Knowing to cherish the people around him is probably the biggest difference between Chen Dexing and those ancient Chinese kings.

And Chen Dexing has never regarded the Ming Kingdom as his private property, but as a joint-stock company, Chen Dexing's brothers and military generals under his command, strategists, as well as a demon of the Heavenly Taoist Sect, as well as every soldier of the Ming Dynasty, are shareholders of the "Daming Joint Stock Company". And Li Cuixian has paid so much, so she is naturally one of the major shareholders.

Li Yanjian and Li Yanbang looked at each other, this Chen Dexing wanted to seal Li Yanguo...... Could it be that Li Yanguo has defected? This seems to be very possible, Li Yanguo is a compatriot of Li Cuixian's mother, and the relationship between the two of them is very close. And Li Yanguo is just a king of Zhao on the Tang side, not a prince...... If the Tang Dynasty really has the world, I am afraid that there will be a dragon and tiger fight between the Li family brothers!

Now, I can be brothers and sisters.

Thinking of this, Li Yanbang nodded and said with a wry smile: "Then let's go down to Daizhou City...... By the way, I also persuade the old man, the general trend of our Datang has gone......"

……

"Wang ...... Princess? I am, where is this? ”

Liu Yang, a small shareholder of "Daming Co., Ltd.", woke up slowly, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Li Cuixian, Li Cuixian on a horse. Li Cuixian was also looking at him, frowning slightly, as if she had something on her mind.

Liu Yang found himself lying on top of a board cart, with soft animal skins under his body, and animal skins on his body, which was very warm.

"Judge Liu, you are in my army...... King Zhao of Tang has already attached himself to the Ming Dynasty and given me 40,000 troops to fight Kublai Khan! ”

Li Cuixian's brows were still frowning when she spoke, and the Mongolian cavalry that was close to the army last night did not catch or kill all of them, and ran away several! Maybe he has now run into the army of Kublai Khan under the city of the Daimyo's mansion.

"Princess......" Liu Yang struggled to get up, but when he exerted his strength, he felt a sharp pain in his left ribs. Only then did he remember that he had someone beat the horse with a horse lance last night, and now there was a sharp pain, as if he had been beaten by a horse lance!

"Lie down," Li Cuixian waved her hand, "Your bones are broken, and you have to lie down for a while...... What's going on with you? Why do you dress up as a Mongol and let people hunt you down? ”

Liu Yang smiled bitterly and sighed, endured the sharp pain coming from his ribs, and told Li Cuixian all the news that he had penetrated into the enemy and that Kublai Khan had moved his troops to Zhendingfu.

After Li Cuixian heard this, she shook her head slightly and said, "The Mongolian cavalry chasing you ran a few last night...... If Kublai Khan had moved his troops, he might have received the news later. It's just that after Kublai Khan gets the news, where will he go? ”

"You should be able to run, right?" Liu Yang pondered and said, "His Royal Highness King Zhao defected, which means that our king has already seen through the plans of the Mongols...... His Royal Highness King Zhao is the son of the Tang Lord, and he can turn against us, not to mention Shi Tianze, Zhang Rou and others? ”

Kublai Khan is not stupid, how can he not understand his situation now? Since Chen Dexing can win over Li Yanguo, he can definitely win over Shi Tianze and Zhang Rou. As soon as Shi and Zhang defected, Li Pu's soldiers and horses in Hedong immediately collapsed. If Chen Dexing takes the opportunity to attack Hedong, I am afraid that Taiyuan will be captured at this time!

What else can Kublai Khan do if he doesn't run?

"Not so fast!" Li Cuixian shook his head violently, "Kublai Khan couldn't abandon the Central Plains just based on the reports of a few Mongolian cavalry...... After all, it was snowy last night, and there may be misunderstandings! He will definitely send someone to investigate again, and this time it will be delayed for at least two days! These two days are our chance! ”

"Princess, what do you mean ......"

"Daimyo's Mansion!" Li Cuixian said, "Let's go to the Daimyo's Mansion, join forces with Wang Lufei, and entangle Kublai Khan's 30,000-strong team in the Daimyo's Mansion!" (To be continued......)
