Liang Luoren knows the character of his brother Liang Shidu, this person is fierce and cruel, although he is his younger brother, but once something offends this person, Liang Shidu will not see that he is his younger brother, and he will definitely attack him. These thousands of troops are raging in Honghua, and he has no ability to deal with these thousands of people, so how can Liang Shi not settle accounts with himself.

"If it is really Li Xin who leads the army to come, it will definitely be more than 5,000 people, and it will not be 10,000 people, once our army goes, the enemy's soldiers and horses will enter the territory of Honghua from the long border line, and Honghua will be eaten in one sentence." Zhang Duan said a little anxiously: "General, we should divide our troops into two ways to exterminate these thousands of cavalry, maybe it will take a long time, but Honghua will definitely not have a problem." ”

"If tens of thousands of troops attack together, it is even more likely that the enemy will take the opportunity to sneak attack Honghua." Zhang Duan still did not agree to the tens of thousands of troops attacking together.

"Hmph, when the interruption continues, the first thing we have to do is to find the location of the enemy, if we can hit with one blow, then the army will attack together, if we can't hit with one blow, then divide the troops into two ways, one part to attack the rebels, and the other to defend the city." Zhang Duan thought about it and still opposed Liang Luoren's decision, losing Honghua, not only Liang Luoren, but also other generals couldn't withstand Liang Shidu's poisonous hands.

"Check, check, where are these people?" Liang Luoren thought about it, but decided to find out where Li Xin's army was first, and then make a decision.

"Yes." Zhang Duan's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in his heart, he still didn't believe that this army was just a simple bandit, among the heroes in the world, Liang Shi was nothing, but around Honghua, the number one force was definitely Liang Shidu, around Honghua, if you want to make trouble, you have to face the attack of tens of thousands of troops, not ordinary people can dare to face all this. Only Li Xin is like this. Li Xin is only with 10,000 soldiers, does he want to deal with Honghua?

In a village and town around Honghua, in a compound, Li Xin, Li Xuanba, Cheng Yanjin and others all gathered together. In front of them, Li Zhengbao carefully explained the situation around Honghua.

"What Jedi are around here?" Li Xin looked at the surrounding geographical situation and said, "We can only show weakness at this time, otherwise, Liang Luoren will not take the initiative to attack us." ”

"There is a place with a grassy hill. Yes. Li Zhengbao thought for a while and said, "But." There was a bit of a difficult place to go, there was a small bandit den up there, we occupied this place, we could defend it on the spot, but it was difficult to take the initiative to attack. ”

"Prime Minister, if this place wants to attack, I'm afraid the cavalry can't." Cheng Yanjin said with some worry.

"Then don't attack." Li Xin shook his head and said: "Let Liang Luoren attack by himself, and we will defend and provide opportunities for Du Ruhui and them." ”

"Brother-in-law, it's better for me to lead the army to attack the cottage. My brother-in-law led the army at the foot of the mountain, and when they attacked, my brother-in-law and I should join forces inside and out, how about it? Li Xuanba said with some concern.

"No, Xuanba, you lead 1,500 cavalry, ambush at the foot of the mountain, and attack Liang Luoren at a critical time. Li Zhengbao, find a way to spread the news. Let's just say we're in Caotou Mountain. Li Xin shook his head and said.

"Yes." Li Zhengbao was excited in his heart, it was not the first time he had heard of Li Xin's reputation, but when he really faced it, he realized that Li Xin's achievements today were not accidental. At least he was willing to take risks and sit on Caotou Mountain.

Although there were more than 100 bandits on Caotou Mountain, under the attack of Li Xin, Li Xuanba and others, they were eliminated by Li Xin and others in just one hour and occupied Caotou Mountain, and Li Zhengbao also spread the news that Li Xin occupied Caotou Mountain.

Honghua City. After learning that Li Xin occupied Caotou Mountain, Liang Luoren led an army of 20,000 to kill Caotou Mountain without thinking about it, and stayed behind Xin Fang'er to sit in Honghua City.

And at this moment, far away in Chang'an City, after Li Xin left Chang'an City, the consequences broke out unexpectedly, but it was not particularly serious, it was only controlled above the court, but the impact was unexpected.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a song. The ministers participated in the ten major crimes of Dou Kang, collusion and rebellion, corruption and bribery, and grass to the people, and asked the emperor to investigate. "On the main hall of Daxing Palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs gathered here, Pei Shiju, Chu Suiliang and others also appeared on the main hall, among the generals, Pei Renji, Duan Qi and so on were left and right. As soon as he went to court, he saw Du Yan striding out.

"Du Qing, is there any evidence for what you said?" Yang Yuxiao's face showed a look of fear, he knew that he was a puppet emperor, originally he didn't want to care about the affairs of the court, there was Li Xin in the past, and Li Xin was in charge of major affairs in the court, but now Li Xin is not here, everything in the court lacks a person in charge.

"Master Du, I'm doing it right, sitting firmly, these charges you are talking about, you won't be talking about yourself!" Dou Kang's face was gloomy, he looked at Du Yan and said: "My Dou family is a famous family, and I followed Emperor Wen decades ago and served the Great Sui, when did it become a collusion and rebellion?" Master Du, although you are a doctor of imperial history, you don't have to say some things if you want to. My Dou family is a famous family, and no one can slander it at will. ”

"Whether it's slander or not, it's not what Lord Dou said, you say no, but I have evidence." A sneer appeared on Du Yan's face, in fact, this kind of thing Du Yan said is not a strange thing, these families have more or less this or that problem, even Du Yan himself has such a problem. These are all things in secret, the Guan Long family knows it clearly, Dou Kang doesn't care about these things, everyone is the same, the eldest brother doesn't have to laugh at the second brother. What I didn't expect was that Du Yan brought this matter to the surface, did Du Yan have such courage?

Dou Kang looked at Wei Yuancheng not far away, but saw that Wei Yuancheng's face was gloomy, and there was a trace of disbelief on his face, and he doubted for a while, could it be that Du Yan's move was his own business.

"Master Pei, what do you think should be done about this matter?" Yang Yu looked at everything in front of him and said with some embarrassment. Who is Dou Kang? Yang Yu also knew, but he didn't know what kind of attitude Li Xin's subordinates had towards this matter, so he kicked the ball to Pei Shiju's feet.

"Master Wei, you are also a scholar of the Martial Arts Palace, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Pei Shiju opened his eyes and looked at Wei Yuancheng with a cloudy gaze.

"This?" Wei Yuancheng also had some hesitation, if he opened his mouth, if he didn't get Dou Kang right, he would also struggle to the death and involve himself in it, which was also not good for the Wei family.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Lord Du said that there is conclusive evidence, the minister thinks that it can be thoroughly investigated." Wei Yuancheng hadn't spoken yet, but he saw Chu Suiliang speak.

"Well, in that case, Wei Qing, I'll bother you to investigate this matter!" Yining Tianzi couldn't wait to throw this hot potato aside, and he didn't want to throw the matter to Wei Yuancheng, he didn't have a good impression of Wei Yuancheng, the person who almost sold himself in order to curry favor with Li Yuan, it's strange that Yining Tianzi's temper can get better!

"Obey." Wei Yuancheng was stunned for a moment, and finally looked at Dou Kang's gloomy face on the side, but he made up his mind, since he had made up his mind thoroughly, Wei Yuancheng decided to continue walking according to the requirements of Pei Shiju and others.

"That's very good, Master Pei, where is the prime minister now? When will I be able to return? Yang Yu looked at a chair next to him, and his face suddenly showed a trace of unease, he would not participate in such a court meeting in the past, unless something big happened in the court.

"The prime minister is inspecting the northwest, and there is no news yet." After Pei Shiju heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he shook his head and said.

"Oh, in that case, let's retreat!" Yining Tianzi didn't say anything, but turned around and ordered to retreat.

It's just that although his words didn't seem to ask anything, but in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, many people have already found that something is wrong, Li Xinai is the prime minister of the imperial court, and every move every day is noticed, at this time, he actually has no news, it is obviously impossible, the only thing that can happen is that Li Xin is probably doing other things at this time.

Dou Kang no longer remembered that Wei Yuancheng was ordered to investigate his own affairs, but was concerned about Li Xin's itinerary, where Li Xin went, if it was just a patrol, there was no need to hide his traces, could it be a white dragon fish suit? Dou Kang shook his head, it was almost possible for 10,000 elite soldiers to hide their traces.

In this case, Li Xin's whereabouts are worth considering, going to Bashu and participating in the operation to capture Bashu, or going to Nanyang, capturing Wuguan, looking at Nanyang, and even possibly taking advantage of Wang Shichong and Li Mi to conquer Nanyang in one fell swoop. But there is another possibility, which is what worries Dou Kang the most, that is, Li Xin went to the northwest and led an army of 10,000 to attack the Liang division. Dou Kang thought that he should tell Li Yuan the news.

"Lord Dou, wait." Dou Kang was about to leave, when he saw Wei Yuancheng's voice behind him, Wei Yuancheng smiled and arched his hand and said: "Lord Dou, since the emperor has asked the lower officials to try this case, then Lord Dou will not return to the house for the time being." ”

"Wei Yuancheng, what do you mean by this?" Dou Kang looked at Wei Yuancheng and said sharply. He didn't expect Wei Yuancheng's courage to be so bold and stop him above the court.

"Lord Dou, you are already a defendant, until the matter is clarified, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the palace, I'm afraid you'll have to go to the prison of the Criminal Department." Wei Yuancheng said with a smile.

"Wei Yuancheng, did you really decide to go against me?" Dou Kang's face was gloomy and he said in a low voice. The gaze is full of threat and disdain.

"The lower official is just acting on orders, please! Lord Dou. In the face of the threat, Wei Yuancheng was unmoved, and said in a very calm voice.

"Good, good." Dou Kang looked at the few Royal Forest Soldiers next to him, nodded, and finally snorted coldly, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and followed a few Royal Forest Army to the prison of the Criminal Department. (To be continued.) )
