Chapter 242 won this battle
The King of Han has raised more than one private soldier over the years.
Moreover, as for the route of the march, it seems that they have been planning for a long time, and they have avoided all the cities, marching among the mountains and fields, and have not been noticed.
In the East Palace.
Li Chengqian's expression was a little solemn, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that he is still a little nervous.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I think you should know very well that if Qin Shou wins this battle."
"Your position as the crown prince, I'm afraid it's going to be replaced."
It was the old man in official uniform who had been following King Han before.
Li Chengqian's chest rose and fell, looking at the old man in disbelief, he opened his mouth, and said in a hoarse voice: "Li Anyan, you, you actually want to rebel." ”
This old man is Li Anyan, who worships the general of Zuotun Weizhonglang, but he is also a subordinate official of the former crown prince Li Jiancheng.
After Li Jiancheng was defeated in the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Li Anyan fought to the death for Li Jiancheng, and Li Shimin thought that he was very loyal, so he trusted him very much and ordered him to take charge of the guard.
But Li Anyan has always been dissatisfied with Li Shimin in his heart, so he has already taken refuge in Li Yuanchang's disciples.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words are wrong." Li Anyan smiled and said, "It's not that I want to, but I am doing." ”
"Now that the Tibetan and Turkic armies are pressing the border, all the troops of the Tang Dynasty have been transferred to the frontier, and the troops of Chang'an City at this time
Less than three thousand. ”
Li Chengqian's heart was shocked, and when he looked at the smiling old man in front of him, a chill arose in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may be worried that General Hou will lead 10,000 elite soldiers to garrison Chang'an City." Li Anyan smiled and said, "Then the old man is going to say that His Highness is too worried." ”
"General Hou is very supportive of Your Highness, ascending to the throne."
As soon as these words came out, Li Chengqian was immediately stunned in place like five thunderbolts.
Li Yuanchang, the prince of Han, rebelled.
The military department Shangshu Hou Jun conspired against him.
And it was at this time, when Datang was facing foreign enemies.
Li Chengqian only felt that his mouth was dry, and he trembled and picked up the teacup.
Even if Li Chengqian already knew that his father favored the eldest son who had been lost and recovered, even if he guessed that Li Anzhi captured the Tuli Khan, his father might have moved his mind to abolish the prince.
Even so, he never thought about rebellion.
"It's going to be infamous for the ages." Li Chengqian picked up the teacup, but didn't drink it, "Rebellion..."
"Does Your Highness still need to care about this?" Li Anyan's face suddenly became serious, and he said, "Don't forget what Your Majesty relied on to sit on the throne today. ”
"Xuanwumen mutinied, His Majesty personally shot his brother to death, and put Emperor Taishang under house arrest in the Taiji Palace."
"But how can anyone in this world ever scold Your Majesty?"
"If you become a king or lose, the history books will always be the tool of the victor."
Li Anyan's words are heart-wrenching.
But he didn't really say anything about Li Chengqian's rebellion, how dare he agree.
Once he remembered the disappointed eyes of his mother, Li Chengqian's heart ached faintly, his father's disappointment in himself, he could still turn a blind eye, after all, since he was a child, his father didn't treat him very much.
If it weren't for his status as the eldest son, how could he be made the prince?
And the queen mother...
Seeing the tangled look on Li Chengqian's face, Li Anyan spoke again: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, have you ever thought that if Qin Shou sits on the throne of the Prince, you will rely on your repeated actions against him. ”
"Will he let you go?"
"From the moment Qin Shou enters the palace, which of you ascends the throne will be the death of another person."
"You know it in your heart."
The huge East Palace, after Li Anyan's words settled, completely quieted.
The air seemed to be condensed.
Li Anyan stretched out his hand to take the teacup in Li Chengqian's hand, and said softly: "Besides, there is another piece of news that Lord Han has not told you. ”
Li Chengqian raised his head suddenly, his voice trembling, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Anyan drank all the tea in the teacup, let out a long breath and said, "Princess Zhen, I'm happy." ”
"Your Majesty and Niangniang went to see it a month ago."
Qin Shou slowly opened his eyes, he cleared his gaze, and then stood up.
Can't think of it.
Even if he knew that Li Chengqian and Li Yuanchang would rebel sooner or later, it was difficult for Qin Shou to come up with any countermeasures at this juncture.
No matter how you look at it, the current situation is very suitable for Li Chengqian and his rebellion.
It's just that Li Chengqian is a ten-year-old little guy, can he have this courage?
At this point, Qin Shou drew a question mark in his heart.
Back in the tent, Li Jing was sitting in the tent at this time, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.
"Where did the prince go?" Li Jing's face was as usual, and he asked softly, "I see that the prince has been worried about it since he knew about the marching arrangements. ”
Qin Shouqiang pulled out a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just the first time I came to the frontier, and I wanted to see if there were any specialties here." ”
Li Jing chuckled, obviously not believing Qin Shou's words.
Qin Shou hurriedly opened the topic and asked, "Over there in Tubo, how is the battle going?" ”
Li Jing touched his chin, and seemed to be relieved and said, "It's not a big deal, the Tubo people don't seem to want to really fight." ”
"It's just that I've been stationed fifty miles away, and there is no other movement."
"I just don't know if I will wait for the Turks to move before launching an offensive."
Qin Shou nodded thoughtfully, and then stopped talking.
The tent soon fell silent.
The flames leaped, reflecting the figures of the two.
After a long time, Li Jing's voice sounded in silence.
What the prince said in the handsome tent before, but it was the truth, not a personal vendetta? ”
Qin Shou raised his eyes and saw Li Jing's serious face, obviously taking this matter to heart.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded slowly, "I always feel that something is not quite right. ”
"Whether it is the actions of the Tubo people or the sudden and crazy attack of the Turks, it seems that they are all aimed at transferring the forces of the Tang Dynasty away from Chang'an."
"And..."
Qin Shou hesitated for a moment and said solemnly: "I saw Liu Ruyan in Yongzhou City a few days ago. ”
Willow like smoke?
Li Jing was stunned at first, but then came back to his senses and remembered who this person was.
"What does the prince's speculation have to do with her?"
Qin Shou narrowed his eyes and said word by word.
"She used to be the dark line of Li Yuanchang, the king of Han."
"According to her, the prince of Han raised private soldiers, and the scale was not small."
After following the Han King's private soldiers for a long distance, Liu Ruyan finally determined.
The place where the army was going was Chang'an.
Moreover, this army has bad intentions.
Thinking of this, Liu Ruyan no longer had the heart to follow slowly, and she wanted to quickly reveal the news to the palace.
Daizhou is located on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and most of this group of private soldiers chose the path between the mountains that is difficult to be detected.
So in terms of the speed of the march, it was naturally slow.
When there were still about 300 miles away from Chang'an City, Liu Ruyan gave up tracking, and she wanted to rush to Chang'an.
In Chang'an City, the incense pavilion is introduced.
Shangguan Yi held the secret letter, and he was hesitating whether to give the letter to Master Fang.
After all, a woman who had never seen her suddenly barged in and said that she wanted to hand over this secret letter to the emperor, which would only make people think she was crazy.
After struggling inwardly, Shangguan Yi decided to take it apart and take a look at it first.
