After receiving Qin Qiong's handwritten letter, Li Jiancheng flipped through the contents.

If he really spoke sincerely, he persuaded Luo Cheng to submit to himself.

Li Jiancheng put away the letter and said solemnly: "Okay, General Qin Qiong, Gu will definitely hand over this letter to General Luo Cheng." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Qin Qiong clenched his fists heavily.

He is emotional, but also a person who understands current affairs.

He knew very well that Li Jiancheng had such a fierce general and strategist, and he would definitely succeed in conquering Wang Shichong.

Therefore, he was very worried about Luo Cheng's safety and wrote this letter just to save his cousin's life......

After returning to King Qin's Mansion, Qin Qiong saw that Li Shimin and the others were all looking at him with dark faces.

Qin Qiong almost understood that it was Li Shimin who knew that he was out of the city, so he could only walk forward and say, "His Royal Highness King Qin, the last general is back." ”

"General Qin Qiong, can you explain to Gu, what are you doing?" Li Shimin said indifferently, so that people couldn't hear any of his tone.

Qin Qiong replied truthfully: "The last general went to see His Royal Highness the Prince...... I also ask His Royal Highness the King of Qin not to misunderstand, the last general is just so that when he meets on the battlefield in Luoyang, he can forgive my cousin a way out. ”

Li Shimin was silent.

The eldest grandson Wuji reprimanded: "Qin Qiong, you are inevitably too ignorant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now our political enemy, how can you ask him to help with things?" ”

Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong each sighed.

As sworn brothers, no one knows Qin Qiong better than them, and knows that Qin Qiong is a person who values feelings.

The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to reprimand something, but Li Shimin had already stopped him: "Enough, don't say it again!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Shimin suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

Li Shimin looked at Qin Qiong seriously and said, "General Qin Qiong, Lone knows that your relationship with General Luo Cheng is extraordinary, and you are worried about him, Lone can understand it." ”

"Lone also believes in you, except for asking the eldest brother to let General Luo Cheng go, you have nothing to do with the eldest brother."

When Qin Qiong heard this, her heart was naturally warm, and she hugged her fists excitedly and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qin." ”

Xu Maogong and Cheng Yanjin even hugged their fists and said, "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Qin!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down, we don't have anything to do during this time, you guys have a good rest first, and then we'll talk about other things." ”

"Yes." Qin Qiong and the others respectfully retreated.

After they retreated, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't wait to ask: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I don't understand, then Qin Qiong had an affair with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince behind your back, why did you let him go?" Why not punish him severely? ”

Li Shimin asked rhetorically: "Wuji, do you think that if Gu is punishing Qin Qiong now, isn't it pushing him to the side of the eldest brother?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was speechless.

Li Shimin continued: "Those who achieve great things must be good at figuring out people's hearts. ”

"If Gu lets Qin Qiong go this time, he will definitely serve Gu even better in the future, isn't that good?"

The eldest grandson Wuji respectfully stroked his hand: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin thinks far ahead, and the ministers are far behind. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Before he did it, he didn't want to think about it so much.

But now the change of his eldest brother really makes him feel terrifying.

Li Shimin knew that if he didn't do something, then he wanted to sit in that position and achieve the grand hegemony, which was tantamount to a dream......

"Wuji, do you say that the eldest brother's crusade against Wang Shichong will be successful?" Li Shimin looked at the direction outside Chang'an City and asked faintly.

The eldest grandson Wuji said seriously: "Whether it succeeds or not, the crown prince leads the army to conquer Wang Shichong, and he has already divided one or two with His Royal Highness the King of Qin in terms of military power." ”

"Instead of sitting and waiting, let's take advantage of this time to develop secretly, in case there is a change after the prince returns to Chang'an."

Li Shimin turned his head and asked, "Wuji, what do you mean ......?"

"During this time, I will contact the major families in Longxi for His Royal Highness, so that they can prepare for the situation, as for Your Majesty's side, it is up to Your Highness to solve it." The eldest grandson Wuji said seriously.

Hearing this, Li Shimin instantly understood what the eldest grandson Wuji meant.

It's a bit extreme, though.

But it's also a last resort, so let's leave it behind!

So, Li Shimin exhaled and solemnly agreed: "Okay! ”

……

Wang Shichong of Luoyang was originally built by the Sui Dynasty Jiangdu.

He was reused for pleasing Emperor Yang of Sui, and later became the commander-in-chief of Luoyang soldiers and horses because of various military exploits.

After Emperor Yang of Sui was killed, Wang Shichong supported Yang Tong, the king of Yue, as emperor in Luoyang, so as to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes expand their territory.

When the time was ripe, he killed Yang Tong and set himself up as emperor.

In the Luoyang Palace, Wang Shichong, who was wearing a dragon robe, couldn't help frowning after receiving the military report from the front.

Seeing this, his son-in-law, the great general Shan Xiongxin, immediately asked, "Father, what happened?" ”

Wang Shichong snorted coldly: "That Chang'an Li Yuan, I don't think I can do anything, I haven't sent troops to recruit him, but he let his eldest son Li Jiancheng lead the army to invade our Luoyang." ”

Hearing the word Li Yuan, Shan Xiongxin suddenly became angry: "It's a good time, father, son-in-law asked to go to war, kill that Li Jiancheng with his own hands, and hang his head on the head of our Luoyang City!" ”

The reason why he has such hatred for Li Yuan is because decades ago, on the way to Bingzhou, Li Yuan mistakenly shot Shan Xiongxin's eldest brother, so he made a revenge for killing his brother.

Later, Shan Xiongxin went to Wagang to settle down, and Li Yuan was forced to obey the will of Emperor Yang of Sui and killed one hundred and eight members of the Shan family......

The hatred of killing his brother, the hatred of destroying the door, Shan Xiongxin's attitude towards the Li family can be imagined.

Especially after knowing that the brothers of Wagangzhai in the past, Xu Maogong and Qin Qiong, all of them took refuge in Li Tang, they were even more angry and vowed not to recognize those dog brothers again.

Seeing that Shan Xiongxin was so active in the battle, Wang Shichong was naturally very happy, and applauded: "Good son-in-law, with you here, I will naturally not be afraid of Tang Tong, but ......"

As Wang Shichong spoke, he suddenly realized something, and asked in a low voice: "Good son-in-law, why didn't General Luo Cheng come today?" ”

Shan Xiongxin replied: "Father, Luo Cheng's wife is seriously ill, and he is taking care of his wife at home......"

Wang Shichong nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, I know, but Luo Cheng is strong in martial arts, and he has to follow him this time to meet the Tang Army." ”

Shan Xiongxin hugged his fists and said: "Yes, father, the son will call him before he leaves." ”

A few days later, in front of Hangu Pass.

Li Jiancheng led the Tang army to arrive here and admired the majesty of Chengguan.

Li Jiancheng sighed and said: "Back then, Great Qin relied on this pass to hinder the westward advance of the armies of the six countries, and then relied on this place to go east and dominate the world. ”

"Today, Lone will take this place first, and then take the eastern capital Luoyang!"

Behind him, Zhuge Liang and Guan Zhang, Zhao Ma and Huang several generals hugged their fists and said: "We are willing to follow the lord and conquer Hangu Pass in one battle!" ”
