"How could Li Jing be killed?" Wang Xuanshu said loudly: "Didn't Li Xin allow us to be ministers? What's going on? Why is he attacking us? ”

"Your Majesty, Li Xin is not trustworthy, this person is treacherous, the minister has long said that he can't believe this person, the emperor just doesn't believe it, now that he has been killed, we have only one way to resist, simply the emperor has formed an alliance with Li Zhao, we will resist here for a while longer, Li Zhao will definitely send troops, and at that time, the two families may not be able to destroy Li Xin." Shan Xiongxin said loudly.

"Yes, yes, we don't need to be afraid of Li Xin at all." Shan Xiongxin's words finally made Wang Shichong feel a little hopeful, he was very glad that he had reached an agreement with Li Yuan, as long as he dragged on here for a little time, Li Shimin's soldiers and horses would react, and when the time came, Li Shimin would definitely attack Hedong or rescue himself from the Tiger Pass. No matter how great Li Xin's ability is, he doesn't dare to do it with the two families.

"What the emperor said is very true." Wang Xuanshu was extremely happy in his heart, Li Xin attacked at this time, no matter what, Wang Xuanying, who was taken hostage in Chang'an City, must be dead, the prince is dead, he, who is a younger brother, can become the prince, and regretted at the moment: "It's a pity that the prince's brother, at this time?" ”

Wang Shichong's face darkened, and he said gloomily: "Li Xin's treachery will definitely be spurned by the world, Xuan Ying, hey!" Born in the emperor's family, life and death are up to others. It can only be after defeating Li Xin, let's bury the prince beautifully! In his opinion, Wang Xuanying must have been killed, and Li Xin couldn't tolerate this person.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the most important thing at this time was Luoyang City, although Luoyang City was high and deep, but Li Xin was extremely cunning with troops, and the minister was worried that this person would besiege Luoyang City, and the minister thought that he could give up the surrounding city to Li Xin and gather a large army in Luoyang City. Hoarding grain and grass, within half a year, Li Xin will definitely not be able to capture Luoyang City, at this time, Li Shimin will definitely send reinforcements. Shan Xiongxin had something to say.

"Well, as long as we keep Luoyang intact, we will recover other places sooner or later." Wang Shichong nodded and said, "Xuanshu, you lead the army to Xuanyuan Pass and strengthen the defense of Xuanyuan Pass, Guo Xiaoke." This guy has repeatedly challenged us, he will definitely attack Ye County this time, and then raid Xuanyuan Pass from Ye County. Attack us from Xuanyuan Pass. We must not let them flank us. ”

"Obey." Wang Xuanshu hurriedly received the order.

"As long as our monarchs and ministers are united, we will definitely be able to defeat Li Xin." Wang Shichong thought that Li Shimin would definitely come to the rescue, and the worry in his heart relaxed a lot, and he stood up and said loudly. He knows that the key to whether he can hold Luoyang or not lies in himself. is still in the civil and military officials, only with one heart can he resist Li Xin, and he glanced at everyone. said: "Li Xin is here, they will give the land in our hands to those untouchables, and our wives and daughters will also become his playthings, Zhongqing." Only one heart will definitely protect Luoyang. ”

"The monarch and the minister worked hard to defeat Li Xin." Everyone in the hall said loudly. Wang Shichong is not subordinate. But this point is good, Li Xin came, the land of these people's families must be obtained by Li Xin, how could everyone be willing?

On the morning of the next day, Li Jing led an army of 100,000 to roar out, and came to Luoyang to set up a large camp.

"Where is Wang Shichong?" A group of cavalry escorted Li Jing towards Luoyang City. Li Jing looked at the tall city in front of him, his face was calm, but there was a thick murderous intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.

"General Li Jing, this king has already paid tribute to the prime minister, and he is also the emperor's courtier, why are you attacking me today?" Wang Shichong said loudly.

"Wang Shichong, you don't have to quibble, your subordinates took the opportunity of toasting to assassinate the prime minister, and the conspiracy has been exposed." Li Jing said loudly: "This general is ordered by the prime minister, please go to Guanzhong to make it clear." ”

"Fart!" Wang Shichong couldn't help but let out a roar and said, "When did I do anything to assassinate the prime minister. Wang Shichong was apprehensive for a while, in fact, he had really considered this plan, but he thought that Li Xin's martial arts were very powerful, and he kept this plan in his heart, and never carried it out again, but he didn't expect Li Jing to say such a thing, could it be Wang Xuanying? Wang Shichong said that later, he suddenly felt a little empty-hearted.

"Whether it's you or not, General Ben thinks it's better for King Zheng to go to Chang'an to make it clear, don't worry, General Ben will definitely protect your safety." Li Jing continued.

"Your Majesty, Li Xin's thief is treacherous, you can't promise him if you go!" Duan Da said loudly. Yun Dingxing, Shan Xiongxin and others also nodded yes.

"Li Jing, Li Xin's wolf ambition, this is clearly trying to kill me, how can I be fooled?" Wang Shichong pointed at Li Jing and said, "Don't say that I haven't done this, even if I do, what can Li Jing do to me?" Wang Shichong's face was hideous, his voice was full of unwillingness, he felt a little resentful, the other party had already killed the city, this was a shame.

"Since this is the case, then there is nothing to say, then wait for General Ben to personally rush into Luoyang City, capture you alive, and sacrifice the prime minister." Li Jing turned the horse's head and didn't look at Wang Shichong.

"Damn." Wang Shichong slammed his fist on the battlements of the city wall, the light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he snorted coldly: "I want to see what ability you have to rush into Luoyang City and capture me alive." ”

"Although Li Jing has a lot of soldiers and horses, if he wants to attack Luoyang, he can't do it without an army of 200,000." Shan Xiongxin said with confidence. Everyone also nodded, which is also the most fundamental reason why everyone is not afraid of Li Jing. It's really that Luoyang City is too strong, except for the last time, which was almost broken by Li Shimin, few people can attack Luoyang City.

Wang Shichong looked at the camp being built in the distance, in fact, Wang Shichong did not have any confidence in his heart, Li Xin suddenly launched an attack on himself, looking very hurried, but he knew that attacking himself, I am afraid that Li Xin had already considered it when he attacked Xiao Milling at the beginning, and asked Wang Xuanying to go to Chang'an as a hostage, but it was just to confuse himself, so that he thought that the other party's next attack target was Li Yuan, so he relaxed his vigilance, this time it was really a big loss, Li Jing's army suddenly killed, So that the defense in Luoyang City is not completely prepared, at least, the grain and grass are not very well prepared, and now we can only hope that Li Shimin will attack Hedong from the Bird Mouse Valley according to the agreement between the two sides, and then threaten Chang'an, forcing Li Xin to retreat, or support himself from the direction of Liyang.

He didn't know that at this time, Li Shimin didn't have time to take care of himself for the time being. As soon as he returned to the court, Li Yuan rewarded him, not only restored all his titles, but also held a grand wedding for him. It's just that Li Shimin not only didn't have any joy, but his face was gloomy, because he got a news that Li Yuan had ordered Liu Wenjing to be sent to prison, as for what kind of punishment it would be in the end, Li Shimin didn't know, but it would definitely not end well. Losing Liu Wenjing means that he will lose a mature strategist and a backer in the court. No matter what, Liu Wenjing is a hero after all, and sometimes, Li Yuan still attaches great importance to this hero.

"Lord Dugu, is my father already ready to start?" In the study, Li Shimin looked at Dugu Huaien and said with some concern: "Everyone in the court knows that making peace with Wang Shichong is also the king's idea, and it has nothing to do with Liu Wenjing, why do you want to detain Liu Wenjing?" ”

"Your Highness, I heard that the old minister heard that you had an agreement with the crown prince before you set out on the expedition?" Dugu Huaien's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning.

Li Shimin's face changed, and he said after a while: "It's not an agreement, it's just a casual talk, not to mention that there is no way to do it at that time, this king will write to the Son of Heaven, and then send someone to find Wang Shichong, Li Xin's soldiers and horses are probably already in Luoyang City, so I will let Liu Wenjing go." What's more, even if it's because of the contradiction between the king and the crown prince, it has nothing to do with Liu Wenjing! ”

Dugu Huaien shook his head and said, "The throne of Qin is high and powerful, and he is the pillar of the imperial court, how can there be anything?" No matter how much the Son of Heaven and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like King Qin, but before Li Xin is eliminated, will they not do anything to King Qin? But Liu Wenjing is different, this time he is not only challenging the majesty of the prince, but also the majesty of His Majesty. If he doesn't go to prison, who will? Is it King Qin? ”

Dugu Huaien laughed secretly in his heart, on the surface, he was explaining why Liu Wenjing was in prison, but in fact, it was a grudge between Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. In his words, he said that Li Shimin was not unlucky until now, nor was there any relationship between father and son and brothers, but that he Li Shimin was still a little useful now.

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Shimin's mouth, although he knew that Liu Wenjing was unlucky because of himself, but no matter what, Liu Wenjing couldn't die, and even there must be a place for him in the court, if he couldn't even keep Liu Wenjing, who would do things in the future?

"Liu Wenjing must not have an accident? What can you two do? Li Shimin looked at Dugu Huaien and Fang Xuanling and said.

The two of them were bitter for a while, and they also knew the role of Liu Wenjing, but if they wanted to keep Liu Wenjing from dying, I am afraid it would be difficult, because there was also Pei Lin next to him, Pei Lin had endured Liu Wenjing for a long time, and he would not give up this opportunity, he would definitely make a move.

"King Qin, Liu Wenjing is like this, the key is to look at the emperor, as long as the emperor orders, then Liu Wenjing will be fine." Dugu Huaien hurriedly said. He knew that in the end, this matter still depends on how much Li Shimin retreats, but will Li Shimin retreat? The answer is no. (To be continued......)
