Chapter 252: The First Oiran

As soon as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, he saw Qin Shouyi arch his hand and said, "General Li, this person is Liu Ruyan of the Moon Shadow Pavilion, and he has something important to report." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Moon Shadow Pavilion.

Willow like smoke.

This name is not as good as thunder, who doesn't know the first Golan Moon Shadow Pavilion in Chang'an City, and who doesn't know the words of the Moon Shadow Pavilion, Chang'an's first Oiran Liu Ruyan.

It's just that most of them just don't see their names.

Moreover, what they can't understand the most is that Liu Ruyan is not dead?

Qin Shou saw everyone's doubts, and hurriedly explained: "Miss Liu's death is a long story, I will explain it in detail in the future, let's listen to what Miss Liu has to say first." ”

It was also the first time for Li Jing to see Qin Shou's demeanor as if he was facing a great enemy, so he nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

After all, Liu Ruyan is a woman who has seen a big scene, and she is not afraid at all in the face of so many famous generals at this moment, bows behind her, and says: "A few days ago, I respected the order of the prince to investigate the matter of Qilang, that is, Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, raising private soldiers. ”

"Not long ago, I finally found out in Daizhou where the Han King raised private soldiers, and there were about 1,000 people."

"But it didn't take long for Daizhou's private soldiers to start marching, and they deliberately avoided the official road and marched from the mountain road, and the direction of their march was Chang'an City."

Rumble!

This remark, like five thunderbolts, exploded in the hearts of several people.

Wei Chi Jingde snorted coldly and said, "Why should we believe what you say? ”

"Besides, even if there are more than 1,000 people, if you want to rebel, you have to ask General Hou's soldiers if they agree!"

Liu Ruyan seemed to have expected that Wei Chi Jingde would say this, her expression was serious, neither humble nor arrogant: "What the general said is extremely true, I happen to have a secret letter from Chang'an City here, which was written by Lord Fang. ”

As he spoke, Liu Ruyan took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Shou.

This letter came from her secret line a few days ago, and it was naturally forwarded by Shangguan Yi.

And the reason why Lord Fang wrote this letter was entirely because His Majesty ordered Hou Junji to advance ten miles, but Hou Junji only advanced half of it.

This strange move naturally aroused his suspicions.

Just in case, Fang Xuanling wrote a secret letter.

Li Jing unfolded the secret letter, and after carefully examining it, his face became extremely ugly.

The payment on this is indeed the seal of Lord Fang.

Li Jing cast his gaze on Qin Shou, who nodded slowly, hinting that he could believe Liu Ruyan's words.

When the secret letter passed through the hands of all the generals, there was a sudden silence in the tent.

The atmosphere was particularly heavy.

After a long time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly let out an angry shout: "This Han prince, and Hou Junji, are really big guts." ”

Li Jing looked at Liu Ruyan and asked, "When you last saw King Han's private soldiers, what was the scale?" ”

Liu Ruyan pondered for a moment and said, "More than four thousand." ”

"Maybe more than that."

"Sss

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing immediately gasped.

4,000 people, plus 10,000 elite soldiers collected by Hou Junji.

This special mother's Chang'an City is now in Li Yuanchang's bag!

Wei Chi Jingde also believed it now, his face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "The Xuanwu army stationed in Chang'an is only three thousand. ”

"Counting the miscellaneous soldiers, there are only 5,000 at most."

"That's good."

Qin Shou took a step forward and asked: "I also ask General Li to allocate 1,000 elite soldiers from Jinhedao, Datongdao, and Liangzhou, and I am willing to lead the army to support Chang'an." ”

"It's too late."

Zhang Gongjin immediately vetoed: "This place is three hundred miles away from Jinhe Road and Datong Road, and it is too late in time. ”

"It's still too late in Liangzhou, but there are only 10,000 troops in Liangzhou, and they can't divert 1,000 people at all."

Li Jing closed his eyes, his eyebrows furrowed, and his thumb and index finger pinched the center of his eyebrows.

Headaches.

After a while, Li Jing let out a sigh and said, "I'll write a letter, and I'll take the letter to Liangzhou and lead 1,500 horsemen to Chang'an." ”

After >, Li Jing looked at Cheng Yanjin and said, "General Cheng, you set off immediately, go to Tongmo Road, lead a thousand horsemen, and rush back to Chang'an." ”

"Immediately, let's go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Shou and Cheng Yanjin gladly accepted the order.

At this point, Qin Shou led the eighty-nine horsemen who had charged before to embark on the way home to support Chang'an.

And the Iron Eagle Guard departed.

Qin Shou and Liu Ruyan can be said to have exhausted their strength, working day and night, and soon mobilized elite soldiers.

Led nearly two thousand guards to Chang'an City.

At the same time, Li Shimin also sensed that something was wrong.

Listening to Fang Xuanling's analysis of the current situation, the Manchu Dynasty ministers were all anxious.

Now the generals have all been dispatched out of Chang'an, and there are still a few Wenchen who can lead troops to fight.

"Lord Fang, you just say it, now that Chang'an is besieged, how long can I hold out with the three thousand Xuanwu troops in Chang'an City?"

An official frowned and secretly stamped his foot and asked.

Fang Xuanling sighed heavily, paused for two seconds, and said, "If the Xuanwu Army sticks to the city gate, it will be able to hold out for about half a month." ”

"But I'm afraid that they will forcibly attack the city, according to the news, the number of rebels this time is enough to tens of thousands of horsemen, if we attack the city from all directions, we will hold out for about seven days at most."

Seven days, this is still optimistic.

After all, the disparity in strength is too great.

There were only 3,000 people, scattered to the square gates of Chang'an City, and there were even less than 1,000 people in each place.

"This Hou Junji seems to have been planned for a long time, and he has long had the intention of rebelling!"

Some officials gritted their teeth and said hatefully.

"And the prince of the Han Dynasty, he actually raised such a number of private soldiers, and took advantage of the fact that the main force of my Tang Dynasty was conquering the Turks, and raised troops to betray, his heart can be punished!"

Fang Xuanling didn't speak, but the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

Before, he couldn't understand why the Tubo people had just stabilized the situation, so they would suddenly send an envoy to visit Chang'an.

And with that arrogant attitude.

Why did the Turks suddenly put so much pressure on Datang.

Why did Hou Jun rally and take the initiative to ask Ying to stick to Chang'an.

Why did the prince of Han suddenly leave Chang'an City and return to his fiefdom.

Now he's finally figured it out.

Now he's finally put everything in the pipeline.

It turned out that this was a killing array that had been secretly spread out for a long time, a long-planned rebellion.

But now I understand that it is a little too late.

Although Fang Xuanling took precautions, he passed on the news while Hou Junji and other anti-thieves had not yet acted.

But there is still no bottom in his heart.

Now that the Tang border is weak just to deal with the Turks, whether he can still send troops to support Chang'an, this is also a point he is worried about.
