Chapter 568: Who's the Prey

"General Guo disobeyed the order this time and went to Xinye, according to the rules of our dynasty, without a military order, the general is not allowed to leave his station without authorization." Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to worry about it, the prime minister has already punished General Guo, and I think he will accept this lesson in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, what Lord Cen said is very true." Wang Shichong also regained a smile on his face, and nodded again and again, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, he offended Guo Xiaoke fiercely this time, and he was so tired that the other party's title was downgraded by one level, and cutting off people's wealth was like killing his parents, no wonder Guo Xiaoke hated himself so much. If this person returns to Chang'an, it will be forgotten, now that he is sitting in Nanyang, I am afraid that there will be some trouble in the future.

"This Guo Xiaoke! is the prime minister's confidant, and sometimes, I am afraid that King Zheng needs to take care of it. Cen Wenwen whispered.

"Yes, yes." Wang Shichong scolded secretly in his heart, this Cen Wenwen really doesn't have a backache when he speaks, in case this guy Guo Xiaoke suddenly marches eastward, is he really helpless? However, he got a good news, that is, the main direction of Li Xin's army next year is Li Zhao, at least within a year, Luoyang will not be born in any big problems, at least, it can also be left and right, whether it is Li Xin or Li Yuan, they will use themselves to contain the other party. If you don't get it, you can still make a profit! When Wang Shichong thought of this, his heart suddenly became happy.

"The prince is elegant, and the lower officials admire him very much." Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "The prime minister will probably return to Guanzhong tomorrow, and King Zheng's surrender table and so on will also be sent to Guanzhong as soon as possible, and he will definitely be very happy when His Majesty is in court a year ago." ”

"Yes, yes." Wang Shichong scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to object, so he could only nod, extremely angry in his heart, but helpless. It can be said that this time, he suffered a big loss, not to mention that the march and war consumed countless money and food, not to mention that he did not take advantage of it at all, and was forced to call Li Xin a minister, and let his son go to Chang'an as a hostage. can only go away with Wang Xuanshu with hatred.

In the big tent, after Li Xin heard it, a smile appeared on his face, this Guo Xiaoke is worthy of being a person who left his name in history, he just clicked casually, and he could know his thoughts.

"This Wang Shichong, I'm afraid he has suffered a big loss this time." Li Xin shook his head and said to Cen Wenwen, behind him, Xiao Yuexian took a large piece and draped it on Li Xin's shoulder.

"What's more. General Guo said casually that next year he was preparing for the Northern Expedition to attack Li Zhao, and Wang Shichong was probably still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, thinking that the prime minister would let him go next year. He can still be left and right. Even the fisherman profits! Cen Wenwen lowered his head and said with a smile: "When the prime minister's army arrives in Luoyang next year, he will never think of today." ”

"It seems that this Guo Xiaoke still has a bit of a brain." Li Xin nodded. said: "Let Guo Xiaoke often harass Guo Xiaoke, and when Wang Shichong reacts, he will demote Guo Xiaoke's title." or punish him for his money, or give him military power. ”

"Then, this Wang Shichong, I'm afraid he will take refuge in Li Zhao." Xiao Yuexian couldn't help but say.

"If he takes refuge in Li Zhao, then we will have an excuse to deal with Wang Shichong, hehe, even if he is dissatisfied, he will do it secretly." Li Xin said indifferently: "This king is just delaying for a few months, and he will start attacking before the spring ploughing next year, so as to end the war at the time of spring ploughing, and at least occupy Luoyang at that time." ”

Cen Wenwen nodded, followed Li Xin's side, and also knew about the affairs of the army, Li Xin's army was a professional army, and every battle would not affect farming, which was different from other warlords. The best time for Li Xin's attack is to choose the spring ploughing, regardless of victory or defeat, the enemy's spring ploughing for a year has been affected, and the end of the battle before the spring ploughing is enough to show that Li Xin has regarded Henan as his own force, so he will decide to quickly resolve the battle, and the so-called Guo Xiaoke is just to confuse Wang Shichong.

"Since the prime minister is going to do it next year, then the imperial court must prepare early at this time." Cen Wenwen said in a low voice.

"Let the general's side take action, our side needs to stabilize Jiangnan, and Li Shimin's side also needs it, but our side is different from Li Shimin's side." Li Xin said very easily.

"The prime minister's eloquence and strategy, how can Li Shimin be compared, Li Shimin is probably still running around how to deal with the situation in Hebei at this time!" Cen Wenwen also spoke.

"Let's go back to Chang'an tomorrow!" Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Our goal of this southern expedition has been achieved, and the rest is to rely on the people of the Wude Hall to govern, the military generals will fight the world, and the civil officials will govern the world." This is an eternal truth. ”

"Yes." Cen Wenwen hurriedly said: "Familiar with the arrangement of love." ”

Li Xin waved his hand, let Cen Wenwen retreat, and looked back, but saw Xiao Yuexian biting his teeth, and seeing Li Xin looking over, there was still a trace of worry in his eyes, as if he was worried about something.

"Don't worry, the princess is kind and won't do anything to you." Li Xin took Xiao Yuexian's jade hand and took a breath gently, the natural aroma was extremely tempting, so that Li Xin couldn't help but hold Xiao Yuexian tightly in his arms.

"Prime Minister, it's still lit up outside." Xiao Yuexian's face was hot, as if he was about to drip blood, and the whole person seemed to be about to soften, how could Xiao Yuexian, who had just tasted it, refuse Li Xin's sturdy body, and couldn't help but whisper in his ear.

"Who dares to stop this king here." Li Xin said disdainfully. He picked up Xiao Yuexian with both hands and walked towards the back tent, and soon there were bursts of fiery sounds from the back tent.

"Father, is this the end of it?" On the official road to Luoyang, Wang Shichong's father and son had gloomy faces and an extremely solemn atmosphere, and Wang Xuanshu couldn't help but ask.

"So what? In the face of Li Xin, I had to bow my head! Wang Shichong said in a low voice: "Li Xin came with a big victory, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and if you do it at this time, it will purely send us into the abyss, and we in Luoyang are not ready." ”

"But the prince?" Wang Xuanshu's eyes flickered, looking into the distance, there was a hint of a smile in the depths of his eyes, but Wang Shichong lowered his head and didn't say anything, let alone notice this.

"Li Xin is going to use troops against Li Zhao next year, so he let the prince go to Guanzhong, in order to be a hostage, Xuan Ying may suffer some grievances over there, but there is absolutely no danger." Wang Shichong said with confidence: "It's just that when he comes back, it's time for Li Xin to do something to us." Hey, so we take advantage of the big war between the two sides, we can develop our own strength, and we may not be able to seize the world in the end, among the three parts of the world, we are the weakest, Li Xin is the strongest, and Li Zhao is second. ”

"Father is ready to unite with Li Zhao?" Wang Xuanshu's eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "This will be unfavorable to the prince, if Li Xin knows, I am afraid that the safety of His Royal Highness the crown prince cannot be guaranteed." Jin Yiwei is extremely powerful in the world's intelligence organizations, and what we are doing on our side, the other party will soon know. ”

"Of course not now." Wang Shichong shook his head and said, "Let's go!" Li Xin is looking for us at this time, and I believe that Li Shimin will also look for us soon. The war between the two is coming, if Li Shimin doesn't look for us, it will seem that Li Shimin's means are far inferior to Li Xin, but unfortunately, only by uniting Li Shimin can we deal with Li Xin! ”

The smart people in the world are not only Li Xin and Wang Shichong, in this era, the people who are at the peak of the current era understand the situation in the world, although there are large and small warlords, but there are only three families that can finally decide the ownership of the world, Li Tang in Guanzhong, Li Zhao in Hebei and Wang Shichong in Luoyang, among which Li Xin occupies Bashu and Jingzhou, and Jiangnan is about to fall into the hands of Li Xin, so that Li Xin has the upper hand, and Li Shimin can only unite with Wang Shichong in order to truly resist Li Xin.

Le Shou's palace has been burned a lot, after Li Shimin and others rescued, or a lot, Li Shimin ordered the Turks to be stationed outside the city, but he was sitting in the palace, looking into the distance, he had already received the news of Li Xin's return to the court, giving him huge pressure.

"King Qin." Fang Xuanling walked in.

"I'm going to unite with Wang Shichong, what do you think, sir?" Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling with flickering eyes and said: "Now the three families are competing for hegemony, Wang Shichong's strength is the weakest, although we occupy Hebei, but Hebei still needs to be stabilized, so if you want to deal with Li Xin, only the two of us can join forces." ”

"What King Qin said is even, but His Royal Highness has ever thought about the emperor's feelings." Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said: "King Qin led the army to conquer Hebei this time and made military achievements, the emperor's next step is to stabilize Hebei, but if he wants to join forces with Wang Shichong, the emperor may not agree." ”

"Don't say yes? Will my father not agree? Li Shimin said proudly: "He will definitely agree, because Li Xin will soon attack and merge the state, Li Xin will not let us stay in Hebei for too long, stay too long, it will strengthen our rule over Hebei, do you think Li Xin will agree?" This is also good, this can also consume the soldiers and horses of the Turks. The Turks and Li Xin are enemies of life and death, as long as they dare to attack Hedong, it will be a situation where both sides will lose. If Wang Shichong is added, it is possible to defeat Li Xin, and his father will definitely agree. ”

"The subordinates suspect that Li Xin will attack Luoyang, not us." Fang Xuanling hesitated for a while and said: "If he occupies Luoyang and even Henan, he will be able to ensure that the grain road is unblocked." Moreover, Wang Shichong's strength is the weakest! (To be continued......)
