Jiang is always old and spicy, in Li Zhen's view, the old man is an old and spicy old ginger, the layout is far-sighted, the old spicy is very spicy, and he is stunned to calculate all the forces of all parties, the big guy calculates and plans in every way, but in the end it is empty, and now in this situation, it is okay to be busy in vain, for Li Zhen, how to deal with the holy decree of capturing Hou Junji is a headache - the old man is not without soldiers in his hands, but he only gave a thousand miscellaneous fish soldiers, here is not strange, Li Zhen killed and didn't believe it, But the problem is that Li Zhen can't see through the fog.

Hou Junji is the first group of people to follow Li Shimin, how much ability he has, how much power in his hands, Li Shimin will not be unclear, obviously, Hou Junji is not such a loyal minister and the like, it is impossible to surrender immediately, a vicious battle is inevitable, even if Li Zhen bravely crowns the three armies, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rely on a thousand forest troops to capture Hou Junji, in Li Zhen's opinion, the old man came to such a hand, in addition to letting Li Zhen have to use his own strength to fight to the death with Hou Junji, In addition to consuming Li Zhen's energy, I am afraid that there is a deeper meaning - killing two chickens to show the monkey, these two unfortunate chickens in addition to Hou Junji, the other is Li Zhen himself, the old man is very likely to use this matter to deter the forces of all parties in the capital who are about to move, of course, these are just Li Zhen's own speculations, whether this is the case or not, Li Zhen did not dare to make a conclusion at this time.

Complaining is complaining, speculation is speculation, no matter how dissatisfied Li Zhen is in his heart, the will given by the old man still has to be implemented, otherwise, a hat that resists the will will be buttoned down, Li Zhen is only afraid that it will be difficult to escape the fate of being degraded, of course, Li Zhen is not so stupid that he will lead a thousand wastes to arrest Hou Junji, at least before his own family has arrived, Li Zhen will not make a move, therefore, although Li Zhen has led his troops straight to the south gate of Chang'an City, he did not urge his troops to move forward quickly, On the contrary, he deliberately controlled the horse's speed and got into a fool's fight with the Lang general who had been sent to assist him.

"Lao Dou, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are blessed again, heh, it seems that you have a good life." Li Zhen slowed down his horse, walked side by side with the Yulin Junlang general, and said with a smile on his face.

Lao Dou's real name is Dou Fulin, a distant relative of the late Empress Dowager Dou, a hereditary founding county man, not very old, less than thirty, but people are rich, chubby and round, and they smile when they see people, if it weren't for that armor, they would be compared with the pampered rich man, although there is no martial arts, but because of the reason for being a man, he can eat well in the Yulin Army, and Li Zhen is also an old acquaintance, but he doesn't have much contact, at this time he saw Li Zhen greet him so politely, and his face immediately smiled into a flower, and hurriedly replied: "Hehe, Thanks to His Royal Highness, everything goes well, and the lower officials will be able to live this day, hehe, let His Highness smile. ”

"Oh? Hahaha, the most difficult thing in the world is to be obedient, Lao Dou is a blessed man, hehe, it seems that this king is just a hard life, I really envy Lao Dou's carefree. Li Zhen laughed and said this, suddenly changed his words, and asked seemingly casually: "When this king entered the palace before, I saw that the soldiers of Chengtianmen and Guangyunmen were very raw, and I don't know where the people and horses came from, why, your Yulin army has expanded again?" ”

Seeing Li Zhen ask about the soldiers of the two gates, Dou Fulin was stunned at first, and then said with an uneven face: "Your Highness doesn't know, those soldiers are hillbillies transferred from Longzhou, I don't know anything, I took over Chengtianmen and Guangyunmen as soon as I arrived last night, and I was so arrogant that I couldn't do it, grandma's, whoever met it was unlucky, how, this group of rabbit cubs also dared to call out His Highness, mother, I will make them look good!" ”

Longzhou soldiers? Damn, damn it, how did this group of soldiers get into Beijing? The old man is so fucking ruthless! Li Zhen heard that it was a soldier from Longzhou, and his heart suddenly chuckled - Li Zhen is a serious soldier of the military department, according to the Tang military system, the transfer of soldiers and horses in each province must be ordered by the emperor to the military department, and then the military department issued an official letter of transfer of troops, which is the allocation of grain and grass and other military supplies, which can start the army, especially in the case of Su Dingfang, the secretary of the military department, all the affairs of the military department are actually presided over by Li Zhen alone, and now the elite soldiers of such a government have entered Beijing, but Li Zhen has not received any news, obviously, The old man did not take the road of the military department, at least he did not inform Li Zhen, the person in charge of the military department, so he mobilized the army, and the meaning here was only afraid that it would be deep, so Li Zhen was not vigilant, and he forgot to speak for a while.

"Your Highness rest assured, and let that group of soil buns be arrogant for a while, turn around and give your Highness a look, grandma is a bear, don't give them some color to see, it's really good to bully Lao Tzu......" Dou Fulin saw Li Zhen's gloomy face, mistakenly thought that Li Zhen was angry with the group of Longzhou soldiers, and hurriedly patted his chest and offered his courtesy.

Oh, damn, it seems that Lao Dou Yizhun was angry with the Longzhou soldiers, thinking about revenge, dog, he actually wanted to use the banner of Lao Tzu to announce his personal vendetta, hey, interesting! Li Zhen saw through Dou Fulin's careful liver at a glance, but he didn't bother to break it, haha smiled, and didn't bother to talk about this aspect of the question, he smiled, and suddenly asked: "Old Dou, don't those Longzhou soldiers also wear Yulin officer uniforms, why, not under the control of General Li?" ”

Dou Fulin was stunned for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "Xia Guan doesn't know, but Xia Guan has heard from his colleagues that these guys are now under the jurisdiction of Li Daozong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Master Li, as for whether this is the case, Xia Guan does not dare to guarantee it." ”

What the? It turned out to be him? As soon as Li Zhen heard the name of Li Daozong, his heart suddenly shook, and he almost screamed, without him, this Li Daozong is not an ordinary person - Li Daozong, one of the two major military talents in the Li clan, is as famous as Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian, and has great achievements, but the official luck has always been not very good, Zhenguan eleven years, once moved to the Ministry of Rites, but just a few days after taking office, he was framed, imprisoned for corruption, dismissed from office, cut the fiefdom, and was driven out of the Beijing Division, until the thirteenth year of Zhenguan was used again to assassinate the history of Jinzhou, and later because of the escort of Princess Wencheng into Tibet, In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, he once again served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, perhaps because he was framed by someone because he was too sharp when he was still a scholar, and since he became a scholar, he acted very low-key, never interacted with others, and Li Zhen only communicated with him because of the preparation of martial arts. Although Li Zhen has been busy with the trial of the case in the past few days, he has not put down the preparations for the martial arts, and he only met with Li Daozong yesterday, but he has never heard Li Daozong talk about the Longzhou soldiers, and in a blink of an eye, Li Daozong has become the commander of the Longzhou soldiers, which really makes Li Zhen sigh.

Damn, the old man is the old man, hey, the name of the first emperor of the ages is really not covered, damn, God knows how many trump cards the old man still has in his hand is useless, bad luck! Seeing that the old man was put on a move, Li Zhen was full of frustration, but he didn't have a way, seeing that he couldn't get something out of Dou Fulin's mouth, Li Zhen lost the interest in talking, looked up at the sky, put away his smiling face, and said with a serious face: "Old Dou, it's not early, we have to wait for the order to take people, we have to hurry up, if the news leaks and lets the thief escape, the saint will not be able to explain it." ”

Li Zhenmao entered the palace when he was reprimanded by the old man, and then sent out the time is approaching, and so on to point up the soldiers and horses, it is already two o'clock in the morning when he set off, the sky is already bright, and the flow of people who get up early to gather on the street is already a lot, it seems that the large-scale dispatch of the Yulin army is not common in Chang'an City, if it is delayed any longer, the news may really leak, no, Li Zhen said this, Dou Fulin was also a little anxious, stretched out his hand to wipe his forehead, and promised to promise, Le turned his horse's head and shouted loudly to order the lazy and lazy Yulin officers and soldiers to speed up the march, and the group didn't care about the flow of people on the street, so they rushed up on their horses, which immediately provoked the scolding of the street one after another, but Li Zhen and the others ignored it completely, just rushed forward, just rushed out of the south city gate, and saw a team of more than 1,000 people had already assembled outside the city gate to standby, but it turned out that Li Zhen's personal guards had arrived.

"See Your Highness." Chen Liang and Yan Shibai, who were at the front of the queue, saw Li Zhen arrive, and immediately stepped forward and bowed to each other.

"That's it." Li Zhen waved his hand casually, signaling that the two of them did not need to be polite, glanced at the queue of the palace guards, and frowned involuntarily - Li Zhen is the prince, according to the Tang system, he can have a personal guard of 1,200 people, plus those "Rising Sun" children who exist in the name of domestic servants, there can be 2,500 people in the palace alone, but now this team is only in the early 1,000s. But in front of the officers and soldiers of Yulin, it was not easy to ask in detail, so he just glanced at Chen Liang and asked seemingly casually: "What do the two gentlemen have to explain?" ”

"When I went back to His Royal Highness, the two gentlemen only said, 'Please ask the prince to dispose of it himself'." Seeing Li Zhen's unhappy face, Chen Liang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and replied.

Dispose of it yourself? Damn, what are you doing, guessing dumb riddles? Li Zhen didn't understand what was wrong with the words of the two strategists for a while, shook his head with a wry smile, and said calmly: "Let's go, go straight to the Hou Mansion!" With the issuance of Li Zhen's order, the two teams merged into one and went to the mansion of the Marquis of Xiamaling.

"Your Highness, the manpower of the Yan Group last night has not been able to be contacted, and the news from the Gyeonggi office has also been cut off." As soon as the army started, Yan Eighteen rushed to Li Zhen's side, lowered his voice, and said with a solemn expression.

Shit, shit! When Li Zhen heard this, although his face did not change much, but his heart was turbulent - the Gyeonggi Office was responsible for comprehensively monitoring every move on the ground of the Jingshi, and the surveillance of Hou Junji's secret villages outside the city was responsible for the Gyeonggi Office, and the Yan Group was responsible for the transmission of news, because of strict discipline, it was impossible not to report the situation on time, and now that both ends have broken contact, it proves that there must be an accident at both ends, and the loss of personnel has made Li Zhen sad, but compared to the lack of reliable sources, it is impossible to determine Hou Junji's movements, But it's nothing, it's a pity that Li Zhen is annoyed and annoyed, and now there is no way out, so he can only wave his army to kill and go to the Hou Mansion.

Hou Junji was awarded the title of British duke, 900 households, 10 acres of Yongye field, the family business is not small, even in the Tang Dynasty among the famous generals are also counted as the first few figures, its mansion is not a small village, generally the periphery is tenant farmers and civilians attached to the Hou Mansion, and then inside is the residence of the people under the Hou Mansion, the most core of a large mansion is the residence of Hou Junji, according to the last news that Li Zhen got yesterday, Hou Junji is still in the house, due to the lack of troops, Li Zhen has no way to divide the troops to attack the rest of Hou Junji's dark villages, can only attack Hou Mansion with all his strength, I'm going to capture the thief and capture the king first.

Chaos, a big mess! When Li Zhen led his troops to Houjiazhuang, it was when the tenant farmers were preparing to go to work, when they saw the officers and soldiers coming in, the chickens and dogs jumped, and the whole village was panicked, and the sound of crying father and mother became one, obviously, at this time, Li Zhen didn't care about appeasing the frightened people, and rushed to the core of Zhuangzi first, giving various orders loudly, and after a lot of panic, he finally surrounded the Hou Mansion, but the strange thing is that the Hou Mansion was quiet, and no one came out to ask what was going on in such a big chaos, The two black-lacquered doors of the Hou Mansion were always closed tightly, and no one was even seen.

Damn, there's weirdness! Li Zhen saw that something was wrong, frowned and said, "Knock open the door!" Li Zhen gave an order, and his own personal guards rushed forward, and together they lifted the stone lion in front of the mansion gate, and hit the thick gate with all their might, after a long time of wild collision, the two gates fell down, and hundreds of Yulin soldiers rushed in, and after a while, a Yulin military captain hurriedly ran over, pointed to the ground on one knee, and reported loudly: "Your Highness, empty, all empty, not a single living person, but more than a dozen dead bodies were found in the hall of the second gate." ”

Empty? Damn, the damn old monkey actually ran away? Although Li Zhen said that she had already prepared in her heart, when she heard that the old monkey was gone, she was inevitably a little disappointed in her heart, and she settled down, so she waved her hand and said, "I know." Half turned around and glanced at Dou Fulin, who was following him, and said, "Old Dou, first send someone back to the palace to report, and this king will go in to see what is going on." ”

As soon as he heard that Hou Junji was gone, Dou Fulin's tense face was obviously relaxed, and when he saw Li Zhen speak, he hurriedly bowed down and answered, and assigned the famous captain to return to the palace, but he followed Li Zhen and walked into the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Your Highness, half of the dozen or so people are our people, and Yan Jiu is also among them." Yan Eighteen, who was busy in the hall of the second entrance, saw Li Zhen and the others walking in, hurriedly stepped forward, and reported with a solemn face.

Although Li Zhen had already guessed what happened to Yan Jiu and the others, and saw the scarred corpses of Yan Jiu and the others at this time, she still couldn't help but feel angry, her face twitched for a while, and her hands shook vigorously, before she gritted her teeth and said, "Where are the other corpses?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, I don't know, but a few of them are 'ringing' people, Eagle Seven has already checked these corpses, according to the time of death, it is basically around the ugly time, all the dead were tortured to death, and they were all tortured before death, Eagle Three and Five have been patrolling the tunnels throughout the house." Yan Eighteen took a deep breath and shook his head.

"Well, I know, eighteen, send some people to a few other dark villages to have a look, if there are still people there, don't move lightly, come and report quickly!" Li Zhen nodded and ordered casually.

"Yes." Yan Eighteen replied, hurriedly ran to the side, and went to arrange for the masters of the "Eagle Group" to act separately without mentioning it.

The high-walled compound of the Hou Mansion, the gate is closed, and the tenant farmers outside the village are normal, this series of facts illustrates a problem - the Hou family did not leave from the main gate, otherwise, it is impossible to hide the tenant farmers on the periphery of the Zhuangzi, so that the Hou family can only leave through the tunnel, this Li Zhen knows in his heart, but he has never taken it to heart - the old man of Hou Junji's use of soldiers, since he dares to play the trick of disappearance, it is impossible to leave clues for people to track, even if there are clues, it must be fake, Therefore, Li Zhen didn't care about whether he could find the authentic Li Zhen, and at this time Li Zhen was thinking about what Hou Junji would do next.

Desertion? There is this possibility, after all, now that the prince has fallen, the inner should have been lost, since Hou Junji can play such a trick as missing, then he must know the news, although the defense of the capital division is still empty at this time, but with the little men and horses in Hou Junji's hands, it can't make a big wave, let alone attack the palace, it is impossible to capture the city gate, but where can you escape to? The world is so big, how can there be a place for Hou Junji, unless he can escape to the grassland, but the question is how can the old monkey escape with thousands of people in the whole house? If you really want to escape, there is no such way, it should be to leave everyone to attract the attention of the imperial court, and then there is a glimmer of possibility to sneak lightly, like this to mobilize the crowd to flee, within a few days will be caught up by the army, the old monkey can't be so stupid! If it weren't for the escape, the old monkey would have only one choice left - a surprise attack on Ouchi, but the question is how can the old monkey do this with his men, even if he can get away with it, what if he can get away with it? Don't say that he can't hold the old man, even if he can hold the old man, it's useless, the kings of the Li family are all over the world, how can he let Hou Junji be the emperor? Unless...... When Li Zhen thought of this, her tall body couldn't help shaking, her face turned white, and she shouted: "Go back to the city!" Ignoring the surprised eyes of the officers and soldiers around him, he turned around and strode out of the Hou Mansion, turned over his horse, and galloped towards the capital......
