On this day, Li Yuan's army arrived at Huitongyuan.

Huitong Garden is a royal garden located west of Luoyang that was occupied by Li Yuan's army at the beginning of the year.

Not long after Li Yuan sat down, a scout came to report: "King Tang, a convoy was found in the northeast, the number of people is hundred, and the identity is unknown." ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin said, "Aya, I'll go and investigate." ”

Seeing Li Yuan nodding, Li Shimin called someone to prepare the horse.

Half an hour later, Li Shimin came back, and as soon as he entered the hall, he said to Li Yuan with a smile: "Aya, the convoy is Yang Mao's people, and the leader is Yue Yu, I brought them here." ”

Hearing these two names, Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised: "Quickly let them in." ”

Yue Yu entered the hall with a steady step: "My subordinates pay a visit to King Tang." ”

Li Yuan raised his hand: "No courtesy." ”

"King Xie Tang."

Li Yuan glanced at Yue Yu's back, it was empty, and then looked at Li Shimin: "Why is he the only one?" What about Yang Mao? What about Xiao Yu'er? ”

"Yang Mao and Xiao Yu'er are not with Yue Yu, I don't know the specific situation, let's let Yue Yu talk to Aye." Li Shimin replied.

Li Yuan then turned to Yue Yu and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Yue Yu didn't answer Li Yuan's question immediately, but looked to the side.

Li Yuan immediately ordered: "You all go down." ”

After the attendants retreated, Yue Yucai said slowly: "On the way to Hebei, my subordinates and General Yang met people from Wagangzhai, and they lost more than a hundred people by accident. Later, after several twists and turns, he finally arrived at the capital of Dou Jiande, the king of Xia, Leshou City......"

Then he briefly recounted what had happened next.

When they heard that Wang Yu almost fell off the horse, Li Yuan and his son gasped, and later heard that Wang Yu was fine, and the two were a little relieved.

“...... Xiao Yu'er asked me to set off with these equipment and weapons first, and handed them over to you before you entered Luoyang City, while Yang Lang and the others continued to stay in Hebei. ”

Li Yuan thought about it for a while, and felt that Wang Yu had arranged it very well, Hebei was Dou Jiande's territory, and she had planted a few hidden piles in Hebei, which would be conducive to his future actions.

He got up and said, "Erlang, come with me to see those things." ”

Li Shimin had already ordered someone to unload the boxes of the convoy and move them to the courtyard.

Yue Yu opened the box and introduced: "These small boxes are filled with firearms, all of which were secretly made by Xiao Yu'er from the Su Mansion, and Xiao Yu'er said that King Tang should have seen these things."

"These boxes are equipped with equipment, and Xiao Yu'er said it was for the Xuanjia Army, but there are some things I don't know how to use yet.

"The last two boxes contain light crossbows, which are not many because we have limited manpower."

Li Yuan's gaze swept over the boxes one by one, his eyes were full of surprise, and he couldn't help but sigh: "If I hadn't seen these things, I really suspected that the little girl had rebelled." ”

I heard Yue Yu say some of Wang Yu's deeds in Leshou City just now, and he was briefly suspicious in his heart, mainly because the little girl was very popular in Leshou City, and it was difficult not to be suspicious.

Li Shimin nodded slightly, he thought the same thing.

However, he didn't doubt it now, but he was a little puzzled: "You just said that those firearms were secretly obtained by Xiao Yu'er from the Su Mansion, how did you transport so many things out of Leshou City?" ”

Leshou City is Dou Jiande's capital, and the defense must be very strict, and it is not easy to transport so many weapons and equipment out of the city.

Yue Yu replied: "Xiao Yu'er will send people out to buy food every day, and they will secretly hand over firearms to Yang Lang General, only one or two at a time, and then Yang Lang will send people to disguise themselves and scatter out of the city, and each person will smuggle one at a time."

"Other equipment and weapons are only transported out of the city, and then built outside the boundaries of Hebei, some slightly larger weapons and equipment, those that can be dismantled will be dismantled, and then find a way to disperse and transport them out of the city."

It was done well.

Li Yuan secretly appreciated it in his heart and asked, "These are all Yang Mao's ideas?" ”

In his impression, Yang Mao was rude and sloppy, not like such a strict person......

Yue Yu didn't know what King Tang meant by asking, but he remembered that when he set out from Chang'an, King Tang had said that they should follow Wang Yu's orders.

King Tang shouldn't suspect that they didn't do what he said?

Yue Yu was apprehensive, but he still told the truth: "No, these are all Xiao Yu'er's ideas, Yang Lang and we are just acting according to Xiao Yu'er's orders." ”

The little girl is really smart, and she deserves to be the daughter he taught.

The corners of Li Yuan's mouth rose slightly: "The money you paid to make these weapons and equipment was also given to you by Xiao Yu'er, right?" ”

"Yes, after General Yang Lang saved Xiao Yu'er, King Xia and General Su Dingfang gave General Yang Lang a sum of money, but the amount was not much, and the money and expenses for building equipment were all given by Xiao Yu'er."

Yue Yu lowered his eyes, he didn't expect Wang Yu to be so rich on the enemy's territory, it was really an eye-opener.

Li Yuan asked some more about Wang Yu's situation, and then sent Yue Yu down and instructed Li Shimin: "Put all these things away and send someone to find out where Dou Jiande is." ”

Judging from the distance, Dou Jiande should have arrived in Luoyang before him.

Before Li Yuan could wait for Dou Jiande's news, Yu Shinan, the squire of the Yellow Gate, came to Huitongyuan with Yang Guang's edict.

“...... I knew that my cousin had arrived in Luoyang and had not seen him for several years, so I was very worried about it, so I sent someone to take my cousin into the palace for a while......"

After reading the edict, Yu Shinan smiled slightly and said politely: "Please also ask King Tang to follow me into the palace." ”

Of course, Li Yuan would not enter Luoyang City so easily, so he said to Yu Shinan: "I have just arrived here, I have traveled a long way, and I am a little unwell, so let me rest for a while." ”

didn't say how long he would rest, and Yu Shinan wouldn't chase after him to ask for the time, so as not to be bored with himself, he just needed to convey Yang Guang's edict to Li Yuan.

"Then I'll come back tomorrow."

----------

Dou Jiandeler stopped his horse and ordered: "Stop, set up camp." ”

At this moment, everyone felt the ground shake slightly, and the sound of horses' hooves was faintly heard in the distance.

Wang Fubao lay on the ground and listened, and after a while, he said to Dou Jiande: "Lord, there is an army ahead, which is coming in our direction, and the number should be more than a thousand. ”

When the people heard this, they immediately went into a state of vigilance.

Dou Jiande sank his face: "Such a big situation, why didn't the scouts come to report?" ”

Although he now has tens of thousands of people around him, there are troops approaching, and none of the scouts sent out have come to report, how can such a big mistake not make him angry.

It didn't take long for a figure to appear in front of me.

It was a group of cavalrymen dressed in black robes and black armor, and the mounts under their crotch were armoured, and they were in front of them in the blink of an eye with a thunderous momentum.

The crowd was shocked.

Liu Heimin raised his hand and made a gesture, and the crossbowmen and archers immediately aimed their weapons at the enemy, and when they gave an order, they released the arrows in their hands.

The black-armored cavalry stopped fifty paces in front of them, and then parted in both directions, revealing the path in between.

A white horse came out of the crowd, and the man on horseback was dressed in military uniform, and his eyes were like torches, as if he was looking down on the world, looking down on all beings.......
