Zaoqiang was originally just a small county, but now it has become Li Zhao's last face, Qin Qiong and Li Xiaogong's army confronted Zaoqiang early, after Zaoqiang, but two days away, the army can kill under the city of Xindu, so Li Xiaogong is in Zaoqiang to defend to the death, exhausting all means, but also to resist Qin Qiong's attack.

Qin Qiong killed all the way, but also suffered heavy casualties, after all, this was the first route to reach Xindu, Li Xiaogong was a fierce general of the Li Zhao clan, and every time he won a victory, he paid a great price. However, Qin Qiong believes that such days will soon come to an end, although Li Xiaogong is powerful, but when the overall situation has been decided, all the struggles are in vain.

"General, Yin Guogong is here." Liu Lan and Cheng Yanjin walked into the big tent and said with strange faces.

"Li Xuanba!" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Qin Qiong's golden face, he stood up and walked out, whether it was emotionally or etiquette, Qin Qiong had to go out to greet him.

"Yin Guogong, you are not in Chang'an to accompany your wife, why did you come to Xindu?" Qin Qiong looked at Li Xuanba and couldn't help but quip.

"On the orders of Niangniang, I came to persuade the Li clan to surrender." Li Xuanba's face was slightly red, but he still arched his hand and said: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, if the battle continues, I am afraid that both sides will suffer heavy casualties, Niangniang has already written to Your Majesty, I believe that Your Majesty will soon send the holy decree." No, I will come in advance, wait for His Majesty's decree to come, and then go to persuade him to surrender. ”

"Oh, that's a good feeling." Qin Qiong was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted and said: "Duke Yin will wait in the camp for a few days, and after His Majesty's decree comes, it will not be too late to persuade him to surrender, but Duke Yin is the best person in the country, the number one master in the world, and he came to persuade him to surrender." Isn't it too much to look up to them? ”

"No one can come but me." Li Xuanba shook his head and said.

"Zhijie, find a tent for Yin Guogong, Yin Guogong turned out to be hard, rest for a while." Qin Qiong nodded and shouted to Cheng Yanjin outside.

"Thank you so much." Li Xuanba nodded, and came out of the big tent, he knew that he was coming, Qin Qiong might not like it, but he was not a person who looked at other people's faces and acted.

"Mr. Liu. Li Xuanba is here? Qin Qiong waited for Li Xuanba to leave before frowning and asking.

"The general is worried that Yin Guogong has robbed the general of the credit?" Liu Lan asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Qin Qiong didn't think about it, so he shook his head and said: "Everyone is serving Your Majesty, and you can't talk about grabbing any credit, when it comes to merit, even if it is not promoted now, but the merit is not recorded in Your Majesty's heart?" What's more, this move can also save the lives of many soldiers, so naturally I don't take such a little credit to heart. It's just that Li Xuanba is not here to follow the holy order. Instead, he was sent by the mother, waiting for the holy decree here, although he did nothing wrong, but here? ”

"It's just the crown prince. The dispute between King Han and King Chen is just that, seeing that the foundation of King Han is gradually consolidating, but there are not many people on King Chen's side, the concubine Niangniang is already anxious. That's why Yin Guogong was allowed to come, in order to persuade the Li clan to surrender and let these return to the Tang Dynasty. Assist King Chen. There are many Li family members, none of whom are martial arts, except for Li Yuan's father and son, as long as they are obedient, His Majesty will reward them. Liu Lan said with a frown.

"Hey! His Majesty's appointment of the crown prince at this time and the temporary absence of the crown prince are actually the same. Qin Qiong said with some sighs: "After these clans surnamed Li return to the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that they will also make waves, from the clan to relatives, the changes in this, tsk, can you bear it?" ”

"How can they be shaken by the return of the world? Not to mention that when the time comes, as long as His Majesty sends a holy decree, it can be solved, even if it is Jinyiwei, it can make these people dare not move. Liu Lan said disdainfully: "Your Majesty is not at ease with them, the general can wait with peace of mind, this kind of thing is no longer something that our foreign ministers can participate in." ”

Qin Qiong nodded, but she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, the things in the army were originally the purest, but now they are mixed with the affairs of the harem, and there is even a dispute between the princes, which makes Qin Qiong a little unaccustomed to Li Zhiwan's actions.

However, soon, Li Xin's holy decree came to the hands of Li Xuanba, in the holy decree, if the Li clan returned to the Tang Dynasty, then the best of them such as Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong were selected as the county princes, and the other clan children were rewarded by the Wude Hall as appropriate, and for Li Yuan, he was crowned as the Duke of Taiwan. The rest of the ministers were examined by the Ministry of Officials for their talents and conduct, and suitable positions and titles were placed. In the holy decree, Li Shimin was not mentioned, which is enough to explain Li Xin's attitude towards Li Shimin.

"With this holy decree, Yin Guogong can go to Li Xiaogong's camp. It's just that Yin Guogong is better to be careful. Liu Lan said with some worry: "If you can, Xia Guan is willing to go for Yin Guogong." ”

"No, your own affairs should be solved by yourself!" Li Xuanba shook his head and said: "Over the years, if it weren't for my brother-in-law, I'm afraid Li Xuanba would have died a long time ago, where is the glory of today, it's just to let my brother-in-law unify the world as soon as possible." Even if you die, you are worthy of your brother-in-law, everyone, take your leave. Haha, if Xuanba does not return, it is also a blessing to let the entire Li family be buried with him. As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Zaoqiang.

"Yin Guogong is very bitter in his heart." Qin Qiong couldn't help but sigh. Cheng Yanjin and the others also nodded.

Let's say that in Zaoqiang City, when Li Xiaogong was originally hesitant about Qin Qiong's inaction in the past few days, when he got Li Xuanba to come, he immediately knew Qin Qiong's plan, his face was gloomy for a while, and then he sighed.

"Brother, I heard that Li Xuanba is coming? Do I want to arrange a knife and axe hand to kill him, this guy betrayed the Li family, and he still has the courage to come at this time, he is really looking for death. Li Daozong broke into the hall and said loudly.

"Presumptuous." Li Xiaogong's face was gloomy, and he pointed to the chair on the side and said, "The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed." Don't you know? What's more, Xuanba! Ay! Don't say anything more, wait until he comes. ”

"Humph!" Li Daozong sat on a chair with a huff. Apparently did not agree with Li Xiaogong's words.

"If Li Xuanba is killed, our entire Li family will be buried for Li Xuanba, and there will be no bloodline left." Li Xiaogong saw it in his eyes, and finally sighed and said: "Li Xuanba came to persuade him to surrender this time, Daozong, can you be ready?" ”

"Surrender? Do you want us to surrender to that servant son? Li Daozong said loudly: "I'd rather die than surrender." ”

"Brother Dao Sect is so bold!" A cold voice came, but I saw a thin monkey-like young man in the distance slowly walking over, he was thin, but between his actions, it seemed to have the power of ten thousand jun, which was extremely terrifying. It was Li Xuanba.

"Li Xuanba, you are so bold that you dare to appear in front of us." Li Daozong jumped up suddenly, pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at Li Xuanba and said, "Don't think that you are strong in martial arts, I, Li Daozong, am afraid of you." ”

"What about your wife and child? If you kill me, my brother-in-law will definitely bury the entire Li family, don't say that it is your wife, even the wife of Brother Xiaogong, and he will also die because of this. Li Xuanba didn't care about finding a chair and sat down, and said: "You all say that I betrayed the Li family, but how many years, the Li family has raised me except for giving birth to me, although my brother-in-law is an outsider, but he gave me a second life, you all know that I am the number one military general in the world, but I don't know, if it weren't for my brother-in-law to find a famous doctor, I'm afraid I would have died when I was sixteen years old, so my life was actually dead at the age of sixteen, and now it is all given by my brother-in-law, I don't work for my brother-in-law, can I still return to the Li family?" ”

"But the Li family gave birth to you after all?" Li Xiaogong couldn't find a reason to refute, so he could only explain in a low voice.

"So I never appeared on the battlefield between Li Tang and Li Zhao, hehe, this is the benevolence of my brother-in-law, if it is in Li Zhao, I'm afraid someone will let me find trouble with my brother-in-law, of course, maybe I am no longer at this time, and I have died in the Xuanwumen Change." Li Xuanba said disdainfully.

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong's faces turned red, and what Li Xuanba said was really like this. At that moment, Li Xiaogong sighed and said: "You came this time to persuade you to surrender!" ”

"Yes, my sister asked me to come. His Majesty also agreed. Li Xuanba took out the holy decree, handed it to Li Xiaogong and said: "The two of them can get the title of duke of the county, and the rest of the people, the court will have other considerations." In this situation, how long do you think Li Zhao can hold out? Li Shimin has been besieged in Yecheng, His Majesty personally led the army to attack Youzhou, I believe that Youzhou will soon fall into the hands of His Majesty, if you wait until Your Majesty comes, maybe this condition will change again. ”

"The Princess?" Li Xiaogong shook his head, with a bitterness in his heart, from the king of the county to the prince of the county, there is a world of difference, but Li Xiaogong has no way, because above the holy decree, there are only three people's names, Li Yuan, Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, and the rest such as Li Shentong and the like have nothing, obviously, these people are all Li Xin does not look down on.

"I heard that Siniang gave birth to a son for Li Xin, the second in line, can she become the prince?" Li Xiaogong handed the holy decree to Li Daozong, and then asked.

"I don't know, Your Majesty did not canonize the crown prince, but now everyone thinks that His Majesty is the King of Han, after all, every time he goes on an expedition, the King of Han supervises the country, and no one has opened the edict left in the Fengxian Palace." Li Xuanba shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is young and strong, and I don't know how many sons I will have in the future. Secretly establish a prince, at least there will be no change in Xuanwumen, and when the time comes, whoever is wise will be chosen. If the edict is not opened for a day, anything can happen. ”

"Siniang asked you to persuade you to surrender, obviously you want to envelop the Li family's forces under the command of King Chen." Li Daozong quickly recognized the current situation and said, "Can't Li Xin see it? ”

"As long as the world is unified, these things can naturally be solved in the future. Why, do you still want to fight now? Li Xuanba glanced at the two of them, and his expression did not change.

"We are your father's courtiers, as long as your father agrees, we will naturally agree." Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong glanced at each other, and then said.

"That's very good, I'll go to the capital. Hehe, I really want to know what he thinks at this time. Li Xuanba stood up and said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
