If Kou Zhong had been persuaded by Li Xiuning to take refuge in Li Valve, would he have donated the "Yang Gong Treasure House"?

This question has been haunting Long Tao's mind since he separated from Xu Ziling in Yanshi, and until this moment, it is difficult for him to come up with a clear answer.

People's hearts are unpredictable, the world is unpredictable, even Xu Ziling, who is close to Kou Zhong like a brother, is afraid that it is difficult to predict what choice Kou Zhong will make.

In order to put an end to all possibilities just in case, Long Tao decided to go to Guanzhong first and seal the entrance of Yang Gong's treasure house in Xijiyuan, so that even if Kou Zhong really decided to hand over the treasure house to Li Shimin, it would be impossible for them to open the treasure house with the words "Leaping Horse Bridge".

He was not afraid that Li Shimin would get the property and weapons in the treasure house, but that after Li Shimin got the treasure house, he would take precautions at the exit outside the city, cutting off his shortcut to attack Chang'an in the future.

Therefore, Long Tao will have the saying of "solving the hidden dangers of the treasure house", but the twists and turns in it are difficult to explain to Shen Luoyan for a while.

"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are carrying the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house, could it be that Brother Kuan has already learned this secret from these two boys?"

"I do know the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house, but I didn't get it from those two boys." Long Tao shook his head and continued: "Those two boys only have a little clue, and it is still unknown whether they can open the treasure house. I can tell Luo Yan for sure that no one in this world knows the details of Yang Gong's treasure house better than me, because this secret was obtained from Lu Miaozi, the designer of the treasure house! ”

Shen Luoyan sat up excitedly, the spring light was overflowing, and the graceful and seductive body was displayed in front of Long Tao's eyes at a glance, and said with surprise and joy: "In this way, Brother Kuan already has the treasure house of Heshi Bi and Yang Gong at the same time, so isn't the lord of the world already in your pocket!" ”

Then he glanced at Long Tao, who was feasting his eyes, frowned and asked, "Then what did Brother Kuan mean by solving the hidden danger just now?" ”

Long Tao touched her smooth and smooth waist, and hugged her back to himself, "I'm worried that this kid Kou Zhong will hand over the secret of the treasure house to Li Shimin for the sake of his first love Li Xiuning, so he has to do something first, so that they will never be able to open the treasure house." ”

Shen Luoyan nodded in his arms and asked, "Can I tell Wei Zheng and Pei Renji a little bit about this news, so that I can be more sure to convince them." ”

"Luo Yan can just watch it herself, I am completely at ease with you."

"Then I'll contact them in a moment, and then arrange for Brother Kuan to meet with them as soon as possible."

That night, Long Tao met with this general Wagang, who was a member of the Wenyi Martial Arts, under the arrangement of Shen Luoyan, but the meeting place was Wei Zheng in a courtyard in the west of the city.

Wei Zheng is nearly half a hundred years old, very well maintained, with a straight waist, a lofty demeanor, a medium build, a pair of big ears on his slender face, and a hint of melancholy in his eyes, which makes people think that he is the kind of learned person who is not afraid of power and has the world in mind.

Pei Renji is in his early forties, his figure is so big, but his face is very elegant, his eyes are introverted, showing good skill and cultivation, his eyes are firm and calm, and he is a decisive and courageous person at a glance.

After the three of them saluted and greeted Shen Luoyan's introduction, Long Tao smiled and said: "The two of you are willing to come to meet, Yan is really honored!" ”

Pei Renji said: "The Divine Sword King is willing to come in person, it is an honor for us!" ”

Wei Zheng went straight to the point, and said: "To be honest, now that the people of Wagang are disheartened, and we are also thinking about where to go in the future, tonight I was going to persuade Mi Gong to join Li Tang, if it wasn't for Luo Yan to find me first, tell me that the Divine Sword King has the 'Yang Gong Treasure Treasury' in his hand, the king may not be able to see Wei Zheng." ”

Long Tao smiled lightly: "Yan, thank you Mr. Wei for the wrong love." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Wei Zheng's wish is just to hope that the world will be unified soon, and he can do his best for the people of Li as soon as possible, so that they can live a peaceful and happy life, the reason why Li Tang is the first choice, is only because in the current situation, the Li family occupies a favorable geographical position, and it is the most likely force to dominate the world in a short period of time. ”

Pei Renji also asked solemnly: "Dare to ask the Divine Sword King, do you really have the secret of Yang Gong's treasure house in your hands?" ”

Long Tao's gaze swept back and forth on the faces of the two of them a few times, and after letting out a long laugh, he said proudly: "Even if Yan doesn't have a treasure trove in his hands, he can still sweep away the heroes and dominate the world!" However, since the two of them came to meet sincerely, Yan Mou should also treat each other sincerely, and I do know the secrets of Yang Gong's treasure house clearly. ”

Wei Zheng asked, "When is the king going to open the treasure house and show his strength?" ”

"It seems that Mr. Lian only knows one thing about Yang Gong's treasure house, but he doesn't know the other!" Long Tao laughed, "Yes, Yang Gong's treasure house does have a large amount of treasures and weapons and equipment, but Yan's Divine Sword Army has sufficient military resources, and there is no need to use the treasures of the treasury for the time being, the biggest role of the treasure house for me is that I can attack Chang'an at any time and destroy the Li Valve!" ”

As soon as these words came out, even Shen Luoyan was taken aback, and her eyes widened with the two of them, looking at him in shock, after all, Long Tao had not explained the specific situation of the treasure house to her.

Long Tao said in a deep voice: "Tell the three of you the truth, Yang Gong's treasure house is hidden under Chang'an City, it is an underground arsenal, not only has a secret passage leading directly to the outside of the city, but also has multiple exits in the city, and some can even go directly to the palace, this treasure house was used by Yang Su to prepare for rebellion, with it, Chang'an City is an undefended city in my eyes!" ”

The three of them were moved together, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Pei Renji sighed: "It turns out that the treasure house is so wonderful, no wonder the king has been passing through the south, if he obtains Hanzhong in the future, wouldn't he be able to easily take Chang'an and occupy Guanzhong?" ”

Long Tao shook his head and smiled: "I am not here in the southern part of the country, and Chang'an is not so important in my eyes." Glancing at Wei Zheng, who was thoughtful, "Does Mr. Wei think so?" ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, even if the king rules the world in the future, Wei Zheng does not recommend that the capital be Chang'an." ”

Shen Luoyan frowned and asked: "Chang'an has been a place where the king's energy gathers since ancient times, and militarily it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it looks at the Central Plains, why doesn't Mr. recommend it as the capital?" ”

Wei Zheng said: "Chang'an has been repeatedly set up as the capital, in addition to its strategic position, but also because of the fertile land in Guanzhong, abundant grain production, but since the death of the Han Dynasty to Sui Xing these two hundred years, foreign invasions are frequent, Guanzhong has been repeatedly destroyed, the productivity has gradually declined, if the capital is here, after a few generations, the population growth, there will be a shortage of food worries. ”

Everyone didn't expect him to look at this problem from the perspective of population and food, and they were all interested in listening, and Long Tao also nodded secretly, because the Tang Dynasty in history did often need to transport grain from outside the customs to solve the food problem in Beijing.

Wei Zheng continued: "Yang Guang's digging of the canal, although it cost the people and money, and the heavens are angry and resentful, but in the long run, it has also laid the foundation for the prosperity of the later generations, which can be regarded as a good thing for the bad heart. ”

Pei Renji and Shen Luoyan didn't understand why he suddenly pulled Yang Guang again, and they still looked like they were defending the faint king, they were confused, but Long Tao had already grasped Wei Zheng's meaning, and nodded with a smile.

Wei Zheng said: "The Grand Canal connects the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River, connecting the north and south, going out of the sea in the east, and reaching Chang'an in the west. Therefore, for the long-term planning of a dynasty, it is really not appropriate to set the capital of Chang'an. ”

"Haha......" Long Tao couldn't help but stand up, stroked his palms and laughed: "Mr. Wei is worthy of being a well-educated person, with a unique vision, and his words have won my heart. ”

Wei Zheng also stood up, bowed solemnly and said, "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Long Tao looked at Pei Renji again, who quickly got up and bowed down and said, "Renji is also willing to follow the king and swear allegiance to the death!" ”
