Chapter 479: Superstitious Wang Shichong
"Your Highness, Li Xin is aggressive, if we leave now, I'm afraid that before we leave Liyang, we will be caught up by Li Xin, and there will be a plan in the end, even if we can't kill Li Xin, we can also cut the opponent's sharpness." After Xu Shiji invited Li Shimin to sit down, he said to Li Shimin.
"In that case, Mao Gong, please say bluntly, these days have made me miserable. I don't even have the heart to sleep at night. Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, sat down with a butt, had no image at all, and said with a wry smile: "This time Li Xin laid out a big situation for me, and almost pretended me to enter, if it weren't for the incompetence of Wang Shichong's subordinates, and we attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, I'm afraid you won't be able to see this king today." ”
Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he really couldn't sleep well in the past few days, who made Li Xin too treacherous, laid out a big situation, so that Li Shimin was almost wiped out, this time after listening to Xu Shiji's words, he suddenly relaxed.
"Li Xin holds the power in Guanzhong, and the top and bottom are all working for him, although the King of Qin has 100,000 male soldiers, but there are still people above the King of Qin, every move will be restricted by others, and it is almost impossible to fully exert his talents." Xu Shiji shook his head and said, "King Qin can only gather all the forces he can use to deal with Li Xin now. ”
"Yes, Mao Gong is very right." Li Shimin also had to admit this, nodded and said: "Li Xin has no worries, but this king is not, this defeat, if there is no achievement, I am afraid that my father will take away my military power." ”
"Therefore, Li Xinsheng is not martial." Xu Shiji's eyes were deep and he said, "Since this is the case, let's calculate him." ”
"How?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.
"King Qin will come to me, and Li Xin will come to me." Xu Shiji said with great confidence: "If he is a generation of heroes, he will definitely need my help, and it is rumored that he loves the people like a son, and he cherishes his subordinate soldiers very much, in the face of a place like Liyang, if he can easily obtain my surrender." Get the whole of Liyang, he will go through it himself. ”
"This?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and his face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment.
"Those who achieve great things are not informal, His Royal Highness King Qin, your kindness, the enemy may not be merciful. In order to deal with the King of Qin, Li Xin didn't know how many nets he had laid, and now it was even more so, if he didn't use conventional means, I was afraid that it would be almost impossible to kill Li Xin. Xu Shiji shook his head and said, "It would be best if he entered Liyang in person." If we send someone here, we can also take the opportunity to weaken the opponent first, and only when we beat him to the pain, he will know the pain. ”
"Okay, it's up to you." Li Shimin's face was complicated, and after some changes, he said without hesitation.
"Report, Prime Minister. Li Shi's militia and horses were trapped under the city of Liyang. On the march, Shen Qianqiu came on a flying horse, passed the latest news of Li Shimin, and said loudly.
"It seems that Liyang Xu Shiji is still very acquainted. If he really let Li Shimin leave Liyang. The king immediately led a large army to attack Liyang and completely solved Xu Shiji. Li Xin said with some pride: "The so-called person who knows the current affairs is Junjie, and Xu Shiji is a person who knows the current affairs, otherwise." It is impossible for him to be comfortable between Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, although his name is Dou Jiande, he has a very good relationship with Wang Shichong. Such a person would not be embarrassed by me because of Li Shimin. ”
Everyone nodded, only Pei Xingjian frowned, his mouth opened, and finally said: "Prime Minister, Xu Shiji will never hear of this person, this person has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, otherwise, Li Mi back then would not let him be in charge of the party, and now he is guarding Liyang alone and is still alive and well until now, this person needs a backer now, whether it is Li Shimin and the prime minister, he needs, this person may not defect to Li Shimin, if this person really defects to Li Shimin, then all this is a bureau at the moment." ”
Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, thought for a while and said: "Between the enemy and me, Xu Shiji is also a smart person, he shouldn't choose Li Shimin!" ”
"Yes, choose the prime minister, in the future, it is not a problem to be a marquis, choose Li Shimin, after returning to Jinyang this time, I really don't know what will happen? Xu Shiji is a smart person, he shouldn't have chosen it this way. Wei Chigong also nodded and said.
"Well, then send someone to take a look, and ask Xu Shiji if he is willing to submit to me Li Xin." Li Xin nodded and said, "If he is obedient, this king will not hesitate to reward him." "To be honest, Li Xin's image of Xu Shiji is not very good, this person is the most sleek person, why Wu Zetian became the queen, in the history books is because of Xu Shiji's support, it can be said that Xu Shiji in order to gain Li Zhi's favor, he supported Wu Zetian with a clear conscience, and finally almost buried the Li family.
A person who was given the surname Li, in order to cater to Li Shimin, gave up the word "Shi" in his name, and then played the Li family again, such a guy Li Xin really has no good impression, so when recruiting generals, Li Xin chose Li Jing instead of Xu Shiji. Although Xu Shiji has left a strong mark in history, Li Xin does not like his character.
Now that his territory is bigger, he has won many victories, Guanzhong, Bashu, and Liangzhou are all in his hands, and now he is recruiting Xu Shiji, Li Xin doesn't care, just send someone casually.
"Prime Minister." Pei Xingjian saw it in his eyes, and sighed slightly in his heart, Li Xin was too arrogant, and it was also true that Li Xin himself was young, now he was in a high position, young and vigorous, and now he had defeated Li Shimin, and he didn't care about a character like Xu Shiji.
"Let Shen Guang send someone to take a look." Li Xin said with a smile: "Xingjian is right, you can't underestimate anyone, let Shen Guang and Xu Shiji contact first, if Xu Shiji is willing, he can go out of the city to see me, if not, just attack it in one fell swoop." Li Xin thought about it and decided to accept Pei Xingjian's suggestion.
"The last general will send someone." Pei Xingjian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he was most afraid of was that Li Xin defeated Li Shimin this time, his self-confidence skyrocketed, he lost his former calmness and wisdom, and was carried away by victory, and now Li Xin agreed to his suggestion, and his heart was much more relaxed.
Luoyang, Wang Shichong's face is not good-looking, although he defeated Li Shimin, but he has lost a lot, whether it is soldiers, horses, grain and grass, or the territory in his hands are suddenly a lot, whether it is Hongnong, or Nanyang, they have all fallen into the hands of Li Xin, and he believes that Li Xin will never return these two cities to himself, and more importantly, the current Li Xin is still outside the Tiger Prison Pass, which makes him tremble, will Li Xin rush into Luoyang City when he returns to the army?
Compared with Li Xin's elite generals, Wang Shichong really did not dare to be an enemy of Li Xin, and the rebellion of Lu Chu and others this time also weakened Wang Shichong's military strength and political strength, and Wang Shichong's face was no longer proud and happy after defeating Li Shimin.
"Huanqing, what should I do now?" Wang Shichong sighed and said: "Li Xin's soldiers and horses are close to Chi Qi, if he really comes to attack Luoyang, what should we take to resist?" The "Huan Qing" in front of Wang Shichong refers to the famous Taoist priest Huan Fa Hei in Luoyang, Wang Shichong himself is a Hu person, and his favorite is this kind of ghost and god technique.
When Wang Shichong just entered Luoyang, he posted a recruitment list in Luoyang City, and the famous talents were not recruited, but a few chickens and dogs came to steal, and this Huan Fa Hei was one of them. He claimed to be good at divination, and presented a picture called "Confucius's Closed Room", which depicts a man holding a bamboo pole to drive sheep, and he told Wang Shichong that "sheep" refers to the surname of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. A pair of bamboo poles together is a 'king' character. The king is in the queen of the sheep, which indicates that the person surnamed Wang will replace the Sui Dynasty as emperor. Then he went on to take out the two articles of "Zhuangzi in the World" and "De Chong Fu", which I don't know where to get out, and presented them to Wang Shichong, telling Wang Shichong that the first part talks about 'the world', and the next part talks about 'full', which adds up to Shichong, which is the name of Xiangguo, indicating that Wang Shichong should be kind all over the world and obey the order of the Son of Heaven. Wang Shichong was even happier when he heard this, so he kept Huan Fa's heir, not only made his own official, but also acted as his own mastermind, and trusted him very much.
"The emperor can rest assured, the king is in the queen of the sheep, and the emperor is the lord of the mandate of heaven, although there are some obstacles now, it is not about the overall situation." Huan Fa Hei thought for a while and said: "Li Xin's usurpation of the Mandate of Heaven must not last long, this time I see him attacking Li Shimin, although he will win in a short period of time, but Weichen has recently observed the celestial phenomena, there is a disaster of soldiers, Taibai is out of the northwest, there is a big event in the northwest, Li Xin is afraid that he will suffer a crushing defeat soon." ”
"He's going to suffer a crushing defeat?" Wang Shichong's face suddenly showed excitement, but he quickly shook his head and said: "Huan Qing said that he was funny, what kind of character Li Xin is, I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with him." ”
"Your Majesty, the enemy of this enemy is a friend, Li Xin's rise, not only Li Zhao is worried, but also Dou Jiande, where is Li Xin now, in Liyang, who knows if Li Xin will take the opportunity to attack Dou Jiande? As long as the emperor sends someone to see Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande will definitely attack Li Xin, and the emperor can block the Tiger Prison Pass here, the Kwantung family has no good impression of Li Xin itself, we can work together to block Li Xin in the Kwantung region, and the loss of Li Xin's Guanzhong is a group of dragons without a leader, and we may not have no chance. What's more, Li Xin doesn't know all this yet, and we don't need to send troops and horses, just recapture the Tiger Prison Pass normally. ”
"Yes." Wang Shichong's face was cloudy, and he didn't agree or object, and finally nodded and let Huan Fahei retreat. Walk around the hall by yourself. Finally, he made up his mind, summoned an attendant, whispered a few words in his ear, and then waved his hand and told him to retreat. (To be continued......)
