Chapter 15: Leading the Cavalry to Camp Li

"You said Li Chongjin was reversed?"

"It's true, Holy One! Such a rebellion, even if it is to give the minister ten dares, the minister will not dare to talk nonsense! ”

"Wang Wanju! Drive to the political affairs hall and quickly pass on Han Wenqing, Pan You, Liu Renzhen, Li Yuanzhen..."

Li Xiangben also suspected that Bao Ying had drunk too much nonsense, but when he got closer, he found that he didn't have any alcohol at all. At the moment, he didn't have time to think about why Li Chongjin rebelled, so he hurriedly ordered the imperial eunuch to summon people into the court.

"Bao Ying! You quickly go to the Beiya Forbidden Military Guards, that is, transfer 500 guards to guard the Ganlu Palace! See me again in the political hall! After giving Bao Ying the Tiger Talisman for the transfer of troops, Li Xiang returned to the dormitory to change his clothes with some anxiety.

"What's going on?" When Emperor Zhou E saw that Li Xiang's face was so ugly, he knew that there must be something big in the imperial city, and the king of a country could summon officials to the political hall in the middle of the night, either from other countries or from a mutiny in the city.

"Oh... Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Hearing Emperor Zhou E's voice of concern, Li Xiang realized that he was too anxious, which caused Emperor Zhou E to be a little uneasy, and after calming her in the palace, he hurriedly got on the bus and went to the political hall.

What's going on? Li Chongjin looks like an honest man, why do you want to oppose me? What the hell went wrong.

Is it really as Han Wenqing said, Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin acted in Jinling? No, in history, Li Chongjin really couldn't bear the shame of the Northern Zhou royal family before he raised an army against the Song Dynasty, and in the end, he was indeed surrounded by Zhao Kuangyin and his whole family set himself on fire.

Could it be that he thinks that I, Li Xiang, am a despicable villain, and if I take the army, I will harm his whole family? It's not right, in order to appease him, I personally named his son Dingguo, and showed my loyalty to me with a handful of snot and tears on the boat.

Syllable! Li Xiang patted his forehead fiercely, and Wang Wanju beside him hurriedly persuaded him.

"Everyone, don't sin yourself! Li Chongjin rebelled, it was not everyone's fault! ”

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Calm down, calm down! I can't mess up with myself, now that Han Wenqing and the others know that they will lose their minds, I must be calm, otherwise I may have to splash blood in Jinling tonight, and I, the emperor, have done it!

......

Inside the government hall

"I said a long time ago that Li Chongjin is not credible! He and Zhao Kuangyin must be the same dog! ”

"Who asked him to garrison outside Jinling City in the first place! Confess the law! ”

"Li Chongjin and General Liu have been getting close recently, is it..."

"Nonsense! Do you suspect that the old man is plotting against Li Chongjin! ”

"The safety of the saint is at stake in the generals! You have to take the first responsibility! ”

......

Boom! There was a sound of a tea bowl falling to the ground and shattering, and the officials in the hall hurriedly quieted down and looked timidly at the angry emperor on the official chair.

"When is it? You guys are still passing the buck to each other! I have not called you to bark in this church! ”

"Holy Lord, we are worried about the safety of the Holy One..."

"You don't need to worry about my safety! I summoned you here to discuss countermeasures, is that how you discussed with me! ”

Li Xiang was angry again, his palm opened and slapped directly on the desk, and the sound of the table frightened Tang Yue to lower his head and dare not speak again.

"There must be something strange about this matter, Li Chongjin... Li Chongjin can't rebel. ”

"Holy! After all, Li Chongjin is a subordinate, and the Tang Dynasty is always on guard against the seizure of power by the saints, and it is understandable to oppose the Tang Dynasty. ”

"What a forgivable one! Is it true that all the military generals in the world are afraid of me seizing power, and it is understandable that I am against me! ”

The officials under the hall had never seen the monarch in front of him so angry, and this sentence was almost Li Xiang shouted angrily throughout the whole process, and even some civil and military ministers in the audience trembled faintly.

"Liu Renzhen, you and I have made it clear that you have been in and out of Li Ying in the past few days, and you have found anything suspicious about Li Chongjin!"

"The saint, the ministers in and out of the Li camp committee really did not find anything suspicious in the Li camp.

Moreover, the minister couldn't figure it out, since he Li Chongjin wanted to rebel, why I repeatedly entered and exited the Li camp, and he didn't stop it. ”

"Is it deliberately to let General Liu let his guard down?" Han Xizai was silent for a long time, although he also doubted the authenticity of Li Chongjin's rebellion, but after all, Bao Ying had blood on his body when he entered the political hall.

And Bao Ying is a little frivolous on weekdays, but she has never done anything to cause trouble and disrupt the law, and she is a cousin with Xu Xuan, so she can't make groundless false accusations of rebellion against Li Ying.

"Han Xiang, you don't know, I wait for these soldiers to look at the edge, whether the army is traitorous or loyal, the old man has been in the barracks for 20 years, and he can tell at a glance."

"Then General Liu, this time, is he looking away?"

"It's... Old man... The old man can't tell clearly, maybe the old man is really dazzled, or is Li Chongjin good at disguise..."

"Bao Ying, come forward, I have something to ask you!" Li Xiang gradually calmed down at this time, thinking that this matter could not be so simple, even if Li Chongjin wanted to rebel, he would not be so stupid.

"Li Chongjin killed, did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Saintly, it is true that the minister has never seen Li Chongjin kill with his own eyes... Can... But it was indeed Li Chong's bartender who would have killed me with his own hands when he entered the camp of the guards! ”

"Then it has to be clear, Li Chongjin rebelled, the truth is unknown, and now it can at least prove that Li Chongjin still has the possibility of not rebelling."

"Holy Lord, at this time, it is better to believe in it than to believe in it! Ordered Li Yuanzhen to quickly go to Longqian Mountain to transfer troops to quell the chaos! ”

The minister also agrees with what Han Xiang said! I Bao Lao Si died three attendants, even if I go to die for the saint, I can't let the saint..."

"I believe that Li Chongjin will not lose me! I'm going to ask! ”

was waiting for the emperor to send a message to transfer troops, but suddenly heard that the emperor was like crazy, and he had to go to the thief to ask clearly, lying down Han Xizai was the first to stand still, and knelt on the ground with a bang.

"The Holy One shall not be in danger! Ministers can die, they will die, but only my Tang Emperor can't die! ”

"If the Holy Lord thinks that there is another truth in this matter, I, Liu Renzhen, can take ten horsemen into the Li camp to ask for clarification! You don't need to be in person! ”

Liu Renzhen heard this Li Xiang speak so much, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. Is this emperor still an emperor, you have to do it yourself in a war and a mess, and those who don't know think that my general is a decoration.

"Pan Qing, what about your opinion."

Li Xiang sighed, but still decided to throw the problem to Pan You, I don't know when it started, this direct minister who first scolded him in the Baoci Yuan has become his indispensable confidant.

No matter how big or small, he habitually asks his opinion, and even has more affection for him than Han Xizai, who cherishes his life.

For Li Xiang, Pan You is a minister who can be reassured, because Pan You does everything with the Tang Dynasty first, not the king first, otherwise he would not have scolded him in public in Baociyuan because of Li Yu's mediocrity.

And Han Xizai is different, since Han Xizai became the prime minister, everything has been put first by the king, even to the point where Tang Chen can die, Tang people can do without, only the king will coexist with the world.

"Don't hide it from the saint, the minister also thinks that you can't openly transfer troops to quell the chaos!"

"Oh? It's rare that you have the same opinion as me this time, and you can explain why you can't transfer troops to quell the chaos. ”

"The Holy Lord must know that Li Chongjin has led troops for many years, but he also knows some things about monarchs and ministers, and he openly opposed Tang as soon as he entered Jinling.

Not to mention that it is difficult for him to achieve great things with 30,000 soldiers and horses, even if Jinling is washed with real blood, it will inevitably be surrounded and suppressed by other Tang generals. ”

"I also think that Li Chongjin is stupid to this point, and openly rebels against me at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and if he wins, he will be surrounded and suppressed by the army of the Northern Mansion in the Western Territory.

If you lose, even if you escape from the Tang Realm, you will be spurned by any country! ”

"Therefore, in the opinion of the ministers, it is not possible to transfer troops on a large scale, otherwise Li Chongjin will know the movements of the Long Xiang army, and he will not be against it at that time, and he will definitely cause turmoil in Jinling!"

"In that case, I will personally enter the Li camp to ask for clarification!"

Li Xiang saw that this Pan You was finally on the same line as himself, and he couldn't help but feel relieved, so he got up and changed his armor.

"Holy! Of course, the minister knew that he should not openly transfer troops, so as not to startle the snake, but if the saint asked in person, the minister would also oppose it! ”

For some reason, Pan You also stood beside Han Xizai and suddenly knelt down, and looked at Li Xiang with almost pleading eyes.

"Needless to say! If the country is in trouble, then I will be the general, and whoever stops me again will resist the order! ”

"If the Holy Lord insists on going, please put the old minister in front of him!"

"The minister is also willing to go! If Li Ying is really anti-Tang, the minister is willing to cut off for the saint! ”

"Ridiculous! This military chaos is understandable for our military generals, and An can let you and other ministers stand in front of the saint! ”

At this moment, although the civil and military affairs in the political hall are arguing, anyone with a discerning eye knows that they are really standing together at this moment.

It seems that Li Xiang is the bond that unites them, as long as Li Xiang is there, they will be more steady, but if Li Xiang is in danger, they will definitely be in turmoil. Even Pan You, who puts the country first in everything, decided in his heart that all the ministers under the hall could die, but the emperor on the chair could not die!

"Long straight! You send more than 100 forbidden troops to guard the gates of the hall, and don't let them out!"

Liu Renzhen, you take more than 20 horsemen and follow me into Li Ying! ”

"Command!"

Li Yuanzhen instantly blocked the way of Han Xizai and the others with several forbidden soldiers, and was about to close the door when he left the hall.

"Wait! The saint is going to go, and I can be a witness for the fourth child! Let me go! Bao Ying wiped the blood on her body, and her eyes were resolute to break through.

"Let him come." As soon as Li Xiang's words fell, Bao Ying pushed away the forbidden army and ran out of the door, leaving Han Xizai and others shouting in place.

But Li Xiang didn't seem to hear it, so he got on his horse directly, and rushed out of Chengtianmen with Li Yuanzhen, Liu Renzhen, Bao Ying and twenty cavalrymen, and galloped towards Li Ying.

......

However, at this time, the Li camp was strange, except for the soldiers who were guarding the outermost camp, there was still a night fire that had not been extinguished, and the rest of the camp tents were almost extinguished and the campfire rested. Only the night guards walked around the camp, but they looked a little lazy.

"Someone broke into the camp! Fast! Fast train..."

Li Xiang rushed to the front with the rear cavalry, and only then did he hear Bao Ying say that it was on the periphery, and a guard killed three of his attendants with his own hands, so he took advantage of the fact that the peripheral soldiers had not yet reacted, and directly took Li Yuanzhen's spear and slashed his neck.

More than twenty riders rushed by, and a human head that had not closed its eyes fell from above.

"What's going on! Which battalion of cavalry? The guard, who had been asleep in the camp but listened to the sound of the cavalry trampling, sensitively got up to check, and suddenly saw a man on the ground staring at him, and immediately shouted in fright.

"Someone has robbed the camp! Fast! Get up! However, this person shouted, and Bao Ying, who shouted directly, felt familiar, and instantly looked back at the shouting guard.

"Holy! That's him! It's just that he can't help but say that he killed my attendant! ”

"Hugh to look back! The top priority is to find Li Chongjin as soon as possible! Li Yuanzhen looked at Bao Ying and was still full of anger and wanted to go back to settle accounts with the guard, and hurriedly pulled him back.

"Why is there a stampede of cavalry, and who is riding in the camp?" Li Chongjin has been a general for many years, and he is very sensitive to the sound of horses' hooves, and even listened to the trampling sound of cavalry that seemed to be killing, and hurriedly put on his clothes and got up.

"General! Someone hijacked the camp! ”

"Quickly bring my war horse, I see who is so bold! Kill people on horseback in my Li camp! Li Chongjin picked up his broadsword, mounted his horse and ran to the front cavalry.

"Who is so bold! Dare to kill people on horseback in my Li camp, don't get off the horse and die! ”

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the group of people and horses who robbed the camp, Li Chongjin raised his voice and shouted, but then found that the situation was not right, these twenty soldiers and horses entered the middle camp and did not kill anyone.

Therefore, the soldiers of the middle battalion were like a plate of scattered sand, and they couldn't even find their weapons, but these twenty horses mostly rode forward, except for the soldiers who stood in the way, and did not deliberately kill people.

"The shape! How can he be so similar to Liu Renzhen, who frequently comes and goes in our army these days? Li Chongjin didn't care about anything else, and clenched his long knife to speed up the drive of the war horse.

After only more than 20 meters with the other party, Li Chongjin's eyes widened, and the long knife in his hand also slipped down.

But seeing Li Xiang, who was charging with a gun in front of him, saw Li Chongjin, he immediately straightened his body, and his body was full of dragon power, and he looked at the sluggish Li Chongjin with the eyes of the Son of Heaven and Long Gu.

"Lee Chongjin! I heard that you are openly against me, and I have come to ask you for clarification! ”
