Chapter 372: Killed
From Yingtian to Jinling City, according to the speed of the carriage, it is a five- or six-day trip.
Li Wenbo dragged on for ten days.
Just in time for the night before the Laba Festival, I came to the north gate of Jinling City.
Li Wenbo passed a letter to his family early in the morning.
He was able to pass the gate of Jinling City, and Li Junda, the eldest son of Li Wenbo, the head of the Li family, led a family of old and young marquis at the gate of the city.
As an official of the imperial court, he consciously has to be one level higher than the officials of the vassal states.
According to the etiquette system, when he, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, came back, the officials of the Liang State, and even the King of Liang had to come to greet him in person.
It's just that at the city gate, there is no official except for the Li family.
Seeing this situation, Li Wenbo understood that King Liang's rebellion had been decided.
When he came back this time, I was afraid that he would not be able to go back.
Pity his little boy who is only five years old.....
Li Wenbo looked sad.
Li Junda thought that his old father was timid in his hometown, so he hurriedly stepped forward with red eyes and made a big salute.
Li Siqi saw her father and mother here, thinking about the days in the temple for half a year, she couldn't help crying.
After Li Wenbo's original wife died, Li Wenbo never came.
Everything in the house is taken care of by Li Junda.
Although he hasn't come back for more than ten years, Li Wenbo is a god-like existence to the Li family. The reason why the Li family was able to become a first-class family in Jinling City was not because of this high-ranking official of the imperial court.
Surrounded by the Li family, Li Wenbo returned to the Li Mansion all the way.
King Liang naturally got the news here.
"Look!" Guang Zhen deliberately instructed in a deep voice according to Leng Tianlie, "Bring all your people with you and cheer up the spirit." Li Fu's every move was watched, and he was absolutely not allowed to send out letters, and no one could leave the city. ”
"Don't worry, the prince!" Leng Tianlie saluted, "The person was in place three days ago. His subordinates had asked them to report on the movements of the Li Mansion every two hours. ”
"Good!" Guangzhen nodded, "This king believes in you." ”
The cold weather went down, and Fu Dacai said in a low voice. "Lord Wang, since he is here to lobby, he is bound to pay attention to it at all times, if he doesn't send the letter back, I'm afraid that the other side will be suspicious, so it's better for us to send a few letters back for him. There has been news over there, and Sima Han is in a hurry to send troops. If it weren't for Wen Chengguo's press, I was afraid that the army would have already invaded Wu at this moment. ”
"Hmm!" Guang Zhen bowed, "You stay, look at Yu'er, this king will go to the Changxin Marquis Mansion." ”
Guang Zhen went to the Changxin Marquis Mansion and told Su Qin what Master Fu said.
Hearing this, Su Qin pondered for a long time: "That's fine, we can buy more time......
Before Su Qin's words fell, he saw Su Yue hurriedly running in: "Father, it's not good!" Lee Wember was killed! ”
"What?" Guang Zhen stood up in shock, "When did it happen, who did it?" ”
"Just now!" Su Yue also ran all the way over and panted, "The people below just reported it, and Li Wenbo returned to the Li Mansion surrounded by the Li family. Many relatives and friends of the Li family came to the Li Mansion, and Li Wenbo got out of the car to talk to everyone. Before he could finish a sentence, the man fell. Leng Tianlie's people have already surrounded the scene...... In check! ”
"Yu'er!" Guangzhen arched his hand at Su Qin, "Father, the son-in-law went back first." ”
"Don't panic!" Su Qin said steadily, "It won't be Yu'er's doing!" actually made a move in front of everyone, and was not discovered by Leng Tianlie, the person who made this attack must be a first-class master. ”
"An Xian?" Guang Zhen said in a trembling voice, "Isn't the Queen Mother always wanting to confront the imperial court. It's Qi Huan and Jin Ling who don't want to fight. Father, that letter from you, could it be that the Empress Dowager is aware of the ambitions of our Liang Kingdom and takes this opportunity to ......"
"No!" Su Qin shook his head, "No matter what our Liang Kingdom says, it is a land of gold and jade, and the queen mother is reluctant to let Jinling City suffer from the flames of war." This black hand needs to be investigated......"
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and was killed before he even entered the door.
The news spread that night.
The states of Qi and Wu, which are separated by a body of water, have received the news.
On Qi Guo's side, Mrs. Liu had already fallen asleep, and she got up urgently and went to Qi Huan's place.
Mrs. Liu has been living in the palace these days, and when he arrived, Qi Huan was meditating in the ice room.
After Bing Feng helped Qi Huan out, he went to the Qinzheng Hall together.
"Your Majesty! It's not good! Mrs. Liu said, "This is too sudden, and I don't know who did it!" This is clearly to provoke a war! Li Wenbo's death, it is difficult for Sima Yu not to send troops! ”
When Taifu said this, he felt that maybe Sima Han sent someone to do it! He doesn't just want to send troops! ”
"It's not impossible!" Mrs. Liu sighed, "The old minister has already sent an order, so that the soldiers on the northern front are ready for battle." I just don't know who the imperial court will use. ”
Qi Huan pondered for a moment and said, "Liang Guo! Taifu, you think, although Liang is the richest among our five countries, the military strength is a weakness! Occupy the Liang State, and the imperial court will not worry about grain and grass! If you were Sima Han, you would have a million horses now, would you fight hard! ”
"Besides, between Liang and Yingtian, only Yingtian's side has a city wall, but Qi's side is Pingchuan Avenue! There is not even a decent defense, how convenient it is for them to send troops! ”
"If that's the case, shall we send troops?"
"Pass the order!" Qi Huan squinted his eyes and said, "Always pay attention to the movements of the Yingtian army, let the Beiliangdao army prepare the pontoon bridge, and be ready to cross the river to meet the imperial army horses at any time!" Make sure to block the imperial court soldiers and horses north of Gu County! ”
"The old minister has an order!"
The Qi side is ready for battle.
On Wu Guo's side, Lu Xuan, Hua Taifu and the generals also looked at the sand table.
Hua Taifu pointed at the junction of Liang Guo and Ying Tian with a long pole: "We were only worried that they would send troops from Chen Guo. I didn't expect such a thing to happen! This person who killed Li Wenbo is definitely Sima Han's person! Although he is young, he has been familiar with military books with his father since he was a child, and he can't wait for revenge as soon as his father dies. ”
"Now it doesn't matter who killed it!" Lu Xuan said in a deep voice, "This war can't be avoided, what Taifu said makes sense, but there are millions of people in the imperial court, and they are likely to divide their troops into several ways!" Lone thinks that there will be at least three ways! Look! Needless to say, Liang Guo already had a garrison on Chen's side, and they urgently marched over to Zengyuan, and it would only take two or three days to attack us. As for the State of Qi, the soldiers and horses of the State of Qi have been guarding the northern front, and the imperial court will not be unguarded. ”
"The king means that the court will beat out millions of people!"
"As for how many people they use, it depends on Sima Han's mind and strategy." Lu Xuan's gaze skimmed over the sand table little by little, "If they are enemies of the Three Kingdoms at the same time, the north will ...... Taifu, you write a letter to the Turks as a fairy, and once the imperial court sends troops, let them send troops too! ”
"This .......," Mrs. Hua hesitated, "will you write it now?" ”
"Yes!" Lu Xuan said, "While this battle has not yet started, it is convenient to send a message." As for the fairy and the queen mother, Lone personally wrote to them and said that they would not object. ”
