The book continues from the above, saying that Li Shimin is encroaching on the land around the eastern capital Luoyang step by step in a point-to-point manner, and seeing that the eastern capital Luoyang is about to become a lonely city, which makes Wang Shichong, the emperor of Zheng State who is in the city, feel extremely frightened, so he sent an envoy to Dou Jiande's capital city of Luozhou for help.

After some pros and cons analysis by his subordinates, Dou Jiande decided to take a two-pronged approach, on the one hand, he sent people to Chang'an to try to mediate, and on the other hand, he secretly began to prepare for the expedition.

At the same time that Dou Jiande sent a messenger, he hurriedly drove out of the city of Zhaozhou and rushed towards Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, because the two of them rushed day and night to change horses and not change people, so they arrived in Chang'an one step earlier than Dou Jiande's envoy, after a series of examinations, the two successfully met Li Yuan in a side hall of the Taiji Palace, and after presenting the letter they carried, the two left Chang'an in a hurry.

In the night imperial study, Li Yuan slowly unfolded the letterhead, after a general browsing, he was immediately angry, the letter sent Wang Shichong to Dou Jiande for help, Dou Jiande's decision in the court and the detailed description of the time of the army's dispatch, there is such a sentence at the end of the letter: "I hope that Your Majesty Mingjian, although the minister is in Zhaozhou, but the heart will always belong to the Tang Dynasty, I implore Your Majesty to immediately send troops to Zhaozhou to deter the Shandong area, so as to ensure that His Royal Highness the King of Qin will destroy Wang Shichong in one fell swoop, and the minister Zhang Daoyuan will present." ”

Looking at this incomparably familiar name, Li Yuan suddenly fell into deep thought, in the second year of Wude, Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, ordered Zhang Daoyuan to guard Zhaozhou.

On the 25th of August, Dou Jiande led his troops to raid Zhaozhou, and Zhaozhou fell under repeated attacks, and none of the defenders in the city were spared, but Zhang Zhiang, the governor of Zhaozhou, Zhang Daoyuan, and Chen Junbin, the assassin of Xingzhou, were captured.

At that time, Dou Jiande and Li Yuan had not reached an agreement, Dou Jiande planned to kill them because the three did not surrender as soon as possible in order to establish their authority. Now that the king has killed them, what will he use to encourage his subordinates?"

Thinking of the heavy losses suffered by his own side in order to conquer Zhaozhou, Dou Jiande suddenly said angrily: "When I get to the city, they still don't surrender, how can I let them go when they are captured?"

I saw Ling Jing say with a smile: "Now the king has sent the general Gao Shixing to resist Luo Yi in Yishui, and Luo Yi will surrender when he arrives at Gao Shixing, what does the king think?" So Dou Jiande came to his senses and immediately ordered them to be released.

Then Zhang Zhiang, Zhang Daoyuan and Chen Junbin took refuge under Dou Jiande, and Dou Jiande gave the three of them high-ranking officials, but what no one expected was that among the three people, only one person did not really take refuge in Dou Jiande, but temporarily succumbed here and waited for the opportunity to find out the news for Datang, and this person was Zhang Daoyuan, who comforted him.

This matter should start from the previous dynasty, Zhang Daoyuan, and the state people, famous for filial piety in the township, lost his father in his early years, and grew up with friends to go out to play. In the middle of the night, a friend suddenly fell ill and died in the inn. In order not to disturb the master, he endured his grief and did not dare to cry, slept next to the corpse, and did not cry until after dawn, and then escorted the body of his friend home on foot, which was praised by public opinion.

Zhang Daoyuan was diligent and studious and knew how to repay the kindness, and then was recommended to enter the court as an official, until the end of the Sui Dynasty, the official worshiped the supervision of the imperial history, because he lamented that the government was chaotic and the people were not happy, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, and when Li Yuan raised an army against the Sui, he was called to join the army as the general's mansion Cao.

After conquering the capital, he was sent to Shandong to comfort, and because of his dedication to the law, the land of Yan and Zhao competed to return. After Li Yuan learned about it, he issued an edict to praise him, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Fanyang County, and funded the rebuilding of his ancestral tomb.

Grateful for Li Yuan's kindness to himself, Zhang Daoyuan did his best during his appointment as a comfort envoy, and after Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, pacified Shandong, he pleaded with the imperial court to transfer Zhang Daoyuan to Zhaozhou, and Li Yuan secretly met with Zhang Daoyuan in the imperial study room on the eve of his departure.

Looking at the lean man in front of him, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Aiqing doesn't have to be restrained, sit down and listen to my words." ”

After seeing Zhang Daoyuan sit down, Li Yuan slowly told the plan in his heart, it turned out that because of the great distance from Dou Jiande, he could not know his movements at the first time, which made Li Yuan a little worried in his heart, lest he miss the opportunity because the news was not timely, so Li Yuan decided to send an official to join Dou Jiande in the name of surrendering after discussing with Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng, in view of the extremely high risk of this matter and the loss of his life if he made a slight mistake, so there has been no suitable candidate.

After receiving the report from Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, the originally shelved plan was started again, and Li Yuan issued a secret order to Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng to inquire about this matter, at that time, one of them was guarding Changchun Palace, and the other was training soldiers in Chang'an.

After listening to Li Yuan's narration, Zhang Daoyuan got up and knelt down to Li Yuan and said: "Your Majesty, since the minister has followed His Majesty, all the glory and wealth are rewarded by His Majesty, every time the minister returns to his hometown to visit relatives, the whole township welcomes him, but the minister knows that all this is because of His Majesty's benevolent measures to make the minister have this honor, and the minister agreed, but the minister has a request, and I hope Your Majesty will agree." ”

Hearing that Zhang Daoyuan agreed to this, Li Yuan hurriedly got up and helped him up and said, "Daoyuan doesn't have to be like this, get up and speak, I can agree to you if you have any request." ”

"The minister hopes that if the minister goes to meet with an accident this time, His Majesty can take care of his wife, children and mother at home for the sake of the past kindness. Seeing this, Zhang Daoyuan hurriedly got up and choked up and said his request.

"I can agree to you in this matter, and when you go to Zhaozhou, I will order someone to take your family to the capital to provide for a good life, and the imperial court will be responsible for all food and clothing, and your children can also enter any academy to study in the future, do you think?" Hearing that Zhang Daoyuan only made such a small request, Li Yuan was suddenly moved to tears.

Seeing Li Yuan's answer, Zhang Daoyuan saluted respectfully to Li Yuan and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is a minister of the Tang Dynasty in life, and the ghost of the Tang Dynasty is in death." After saying that, he turned around and left the imperial study. Then Dou Jiande conquered Zhaozhou, Zhang Daoyuan escaped death and entered Dou Jiande's camp, and after a long time, with Zhang Daoyuan's talent in comforting, he gradually entered the internal core of Dou Jiande Group, which also provided convenient conditions for him to find out the news.

Putting the letterhead in his hand in front of the candle and burning it, Li Yuan shouted outside the door: "Wang De, pass the decree to quickly recruit Liu Shirang into the palace." ”

After listening to the answer from outside the door, after about an hour, I heard Wang De's voice from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Liu Shirang is asking to see you outside the door." ”

"Come in. Hearing that Liu Shirang was coming, Li Yuan hurriedly asked Wang De to bring him in, only to see Liu Shirang push the door in, kneel down to Li Yuan and say, "Grass people Liu Shirang see Your Majesty." ”

Seeing this, Li Yuan got up and helped him up and said, "Have all the things at home been handled properly?"

"Back to Your Majesty, all matters at home have been dealt with, and the grass people's wives and children have arrived in the capital with the grass people. Liu Shirang nodded, vaguely guessing that maybe Li Yuan needed to go on his own expedition again, so he hurriedly answered.

I saw Li Yuan say with a smile: "Don't grass the people anymore, from now on, I will order you to serve the imperial court again, go back and prepare for it, and lead the army to attack Dou Jiande in a few days." ”

Hearing this, Liu Shirang hurriedly knelt down in front of Li Yuan and said, "Minister Liu Shirang respectfully obeys His Majesty's will. And Li Yuan nodded and said, "If I don't restore your official position, I guess your commander should complain about me again." ”

At the mention of the handsome Chu Mofeng, Liu Shirang's heart was very excited, and then Li Yuan motioned for Liu Shirang to step back, while he slowly leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily.

On the 18th of Bingwu, Li Yuan issued an edict appointing Liu Shirang as the head of the march, personally led an army of 10,000 from Chang'an, and ran murderously towards Dou Jiande's capital of Zhaozhou. And the news of Liu Shirang's recovery was transmitted from the palace to Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng for the first time.

Looking at the news from the palace, Li Shimin couldn't help but be overjoyed, while Chu Mofeng looked in the direction of Luoyang, thinking that he didn't know what happened to Feiyan and them.

The New Year is approaching, although the army outside the city is pressing, Wang Shichong still ordered the whole city to hold a celebration, and at this time, the defenders in the city are waiting to prevent the Tang soldiers outside the city from taking this opportunity to attack the city with all their might.

After receiving Liu Feiyan's letter, Chu Mofeng led his troops to pretend to attack the city repeatedly, which immediately restrained the defensive forces in the city, and he had no time to take care of the affairs in the city.

After several days of inquiry, Liu Feiyan and others finally locked down the location of Qu Tutong and Qin Qiong's family, and began to formulate a rescue plan.

On the twenty-third day of the third year of Wude, the year of the month, people came and went in Luoyang City on this day, and people who had worked hard for a year took to the streets one after another, buying the items needed for the New Year, due to the sharp increase in the number of people coming and going on the street, which also added a lot of pressure to the county government responsible for maintaining law and order.

Outside a mansion in Yanqingfang, Luoyang City, two men dressed in black always stood motionless on both sides of the gate, staring at the passing crowd, everyone thought that Wang Shichong would definitely bring Qu Tutong and Qin Qiong's family members to the palace for detention, but Wang Shichong, who was insidious and cunning, chose a mansion in Yanqingfang and locked a group of people inside, and there were people guarding inside and outside the door, so that one day they could blackmail the two of them.

As the saying goes, if you don't know what you don't know, no matter how secretive Wang Shichong is, he can't escape Liu Feiyan and others, who are in charge of the investigation full-time, after confirming the location of the rescue target, Liu Feiyan assigned tasks to Gu Zhen'er, Chen Jingqing, Xiao Ruolan and Yu Wenxiu.

It wasn't until the day before the New Year, that is, on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, that the four of them returned to the inn one after another to report to Liu Feiyan.

In the early morning of the 23rd day of the lunar month, Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er resumed their daughter's dress and walked towards Yanqingfang with Tingting, while Xiao Ruolan and others had already sneaked into an abandoned mansion in Yanqingfang.

The two of them twisted their graceful posture step by step and walked towards the target location, and saw the two guards at the door from a distance, only to see Liu Feiyan whispered: "These two people are very vigilant, there are a few times when I lost some money while they are not paying attention, these two people are disdainful, it is really a troublesome thing, if you can't get a blow, lest there be a mess." ”

I saw Gu Zhen'er brushing the hair in her ears, smiled at Liu Feiyan and said, "Cousin, there is no cat in this world that doesn't steal, except for that big elm pimple." After speaking, he opened his shirt slightly outward, revealing some delicate and smooth skin, and walked towards the two.

When she was about to walk in front of the two, Gu Zhen'er could obviously feel that the breathing of the two of them had become heavier, and she couldn't help but snicker secretly in her heart, pretending to be careless at the moment, and fell into the arms of one of them, and then said with a little grievance: "I'm really embarrassed, you see me stumbling while walking, if it weren't for the eldest brother, you helped the little girl, it is estimated that the little woman would have fallen to the ground." After saying that, he quickly broke free from the man's arms, and looked at the man like a frightened rabbit.

I saw that this person tried to slow down his tone as much as possible and said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, why worry about some trivial things, I don't know where the girl is going?"

"The little woman and her sister were originally stationed in Yangzhou, but my mother deducted our sisters a little ruthlessly, the little woman and her sister fled to Luoyang overnight in a rage, and they all said that Luoyang is an outstanding place here, and the little woman wanted to find a restaurant to continue to stay with her sister. After speaking, he turned around and shouted to Liu Feiyan not far behind him: "Sister, come over quickly." ”

Seeing his companion talking to a beautiful woman, another man couldn't help but feel a little discouraged in his heart, who knew that the woman said that he also had a sister, and then the man looked in the direction of the woman's call, only to see that there was a woman not far away, looking at the figure should not be ugly, and he was happy at the moment.

Then the woman said to her companion, "In that case, the little girl and her sister will come tonight to bring some food to the two eldest brothers, firstly to express their gratitude, and secondly, to find someone to talk to in a foreign night." ”

As soon as these words came out, the two of them understood the meaning, hurriedly said goodbye to the two women, and reluctantly looked at the distant figures of the two and drooled.

Walking to the corner where the two guards couldn't see, Gu Zhen'er straightened her clothes and said with a smile: "Cousin, look, as long as this word is a man, you have to take it." ”

Who knew that Liu Feiyan said jokingly: "Yes, only that big elm pimple doesn't occupy either, I think if someone tells you to let you return to the camp quickly tonight and talk all night, I guess you can drop the task and run away immediately." After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the hiding place of Xiao Ruolan and the others, leaving a hint of silver bell-like laughter in the air.

Gu Zhen'er, who was teased, hurriedly chased after her when she heard this, and kept shouting: "Cousin, don't talk about me, I guess you are too." ”

It was night, and the people in Luoyang City were boiling during the day, and at this moment, they had already calmed down with the night. At the beginning of Shen, Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er each came to the door of the mansion where the target was being held with a food box, and the two guards were immediately excited when they saw that the second daughter had arrived as promised.

I saw Gu Zhen'er say in a snort: "Big brother, let's not just talk here, it's so cold outside, people don't like it." ”

Hearing this, the two glanced at each other, then opened the door of the mansion, took Gu Zhen'er and Liu Feiyan to a secluded house in the courtyard, lit a brazier and set up food, and ate and drank accompanied by Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er.

Gu Zhen'er and Liu Feiyan quickly tied up the two of them when they saw this, and in order to prevent the two from waking up and calling for help, they each stuffed a rag in their mouths, took off the clothes that were covered outside, changed into night clothes, and then blew out the candles and flashed out of the house.

Gu Zhen'er came to the door of the mansion, gently opened the door and entered Xiao Ruolan and the others, and then the five of them took advantage of the night to touch the door of the hostage, only to see Chen Jingqing gently open the door gate with a dagger, and the five of them immediately tiptoed in.

At this time, Qu Tutong's two sons and Qin Qiong's wife and children in the house were still sitting around with sad faces, and there were some simple foods on the table, but everyone present did not have the slightest mood to eat, but Qin Qiong's son kept stuffing things into his mouth.

As if hearing someone coming in, Qu Tutong's eldest son, Qu Tushou, turned around and whispered, "Who is there?"

Seeing this, the five people hurriedly flashed out and made a silent gesture to the people in the house, and the people in the house suddenly understood that these people didn't seem to be here to do harm, only to see Liu Feiyan ask softly: "How many are the family members of the old general Qu Tutong and General Qin Qiong?"

Everyone nodded inexplicably, only to hear Qu Tushou ask suspiciously: "I don't know what a few girls are talking about?"

"Entrusted by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, Li Shimin, and Chu Mofeng, the Duke of Qi, the Flower Team under the command of the Duke of Qi was ordered to infiltrate the Eastern Capital to rescue you, this is the waist card of the Grandpa of the Kingdom. Liu Feiyan stepped forward and took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to Qu Tushou, and then explained his intention.

Wang Shichong said that Qu Tutong had already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty before the emperor, and at that time, the other side of the flower was already famous, and Qu Tushou had also heard his father mention this matter, so he was convinced, and hurriedly hugged his fist at Liu Feiyan and others and said: "I have received the kindness of several girls, but at this moment it is already a curfew, if you want to escape from the Eastern Capital, it is really hopeless, and the guards at the city gate during the day are quite strict, a few girls should leave quickly." ”

As soon as Qu Tushou's voice fell, he saw Gu Zhen'er step forward and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Qu Gongzi, I have already prepared before, and now we only need a few people to leave with us to ensure that you arrive in Chang'an City safely." ”

Hearing this, Qu Tushou turned to look at his younger brother Qu Tuquan and Qin Qiong's wife Jia Shi, and seeing that several people did not object, he nodded and said, "Then everything will be up to you." ”

Liu Feiyan nodded and said to Xiao Ruolan and the others behind him: "Ruolan, you and Qinqing and Xiu'er go out first to get rid of those guards, and we will come out later." ”

The three girls nodded, and after taking out their masks and putting them on, they each pulled out a pair of crossbows from their backs and walked out of the room.

At this time, Liu Feiyan nodded to everyone in the room and said, "Let's go." Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed Liu Feiyan and Gu Zhen'er out of the house, and everyone walked out of the mansion, and came to the border near Luoshui in Yanqing Fang, only to see Liu Feiyan and others send the target people outside the wall one by one, and then the five of them turned over and flashed out.

When I came to the bank of the Luoshui River, I saw a small boat quietly parked on the shore, Liu Feiyan beckoned everyone to upload, Xiao Ruolan and others at the tail quickly rowed the boat towards the city wall, and when they came to the city wall, they saw the tall fence separating the inside and outside of the city, and Qu Tushou couldn't help but be a little discouraged when he saw this.

Who knew that Gu Zhen'er smiled at Qu Tushou, walked to the bow of the boat, pulled out the long knife behind his back, and slashed at the fence, splitting the fence by the way, and Xiao Ruolan and others at the stern of the boat hurriedly slid the boat out when they saw this.

The night gave everyone the best cover, the boat traveled along Luoshui for about ten miles, slowly stopped on the shore, Liu Feiyan jumped off the boat with an arrow, and took everyone to a big tree on the side of the road, only to see a carriage and a few horses parked under the tree, the coachman on the carriage saw Liu Feiyan and others coming, hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Please tell the big shopkeeper that the matter has been completed, if you need it again in the future, welcome to come to Wencheng at any time." After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Immediately, Liu Feiyan motioned for everyone to get into the carriage, while the five of them turned over and ran towards the station of Xin'an Chu Mofeng.

On the second day, the two overturned guards woke up quietly, and after breaking free from the restraints, they hurriedly entered the mansion to investigate, and found that the rest of the guards were dead except for themselves, and the prisoners had disappeared.

At this time, in the garrison of the army, Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin looked at the people in front of them with ugly faces as if they had eaten stool, and their hearts were extremely disgusting, for no other reason, in view of Li Shimin and Chu Mofeng's successes in this expedition, Li Yuan followed the advice of the crown prince Li Jiancheng, and sent Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, to Li Shimin's command, and said that he would exercise. Also accompanied by Luo Cheng, the son of Luo Yi, the king of Beiping.

Looking at Li Yuanji's unbeaten face, Chu Mofeng said angrily: "His Royal Highness King Qi, this is the front line, not the palace, so you'd better pay attention, don't accidentally die here, I won't be able to explain to Your Majesty at that time." ”

Knowing that he was in a weak position at this time, Li Yuanji said with a smile at the moment: "Grandpa Guo said that he was joking, Xiao Wang came to ask for advice, and he hoped that Grandpa Guo would give advice." ”

Chu Mofeng waved his hand impatiently at Li Yuanji, signaling him to go down for the time being, and after Li Yuanji left, Chu Mofeng hugged Luo Cheng's shoulder and said with a smile: "Why is your old man willing to send you to me?"

"Brother Chu, I heard that His Majesty is going to send troops to support you and Brother Li, and I will come here with my own recommendation, you say, how to fight next? I saw Luo Cheng smile a little shyly, and then quickly entered the state with his eyes open.

Seeing this, Chu Mofeng patted Luo Cheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, let's go and meet your Second Brother Qin and Fourth Brother Cheng first, it is estimated that someone will come after noon today, and then there will be a banquet to entertain you in the evening." ”

Luo Cheng nodded when he heard this, and after saying goodbye to Chu Mofeng and Li Shimin, he turned around and walked towards Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin's tent......

As the saying goes, family reunions are very happy, Qu Qin Er General lifted the fetters of his family and tried his best to serve the Tang Dynasty, and watched Li Shimin's fierce battle against Dou Jiande in Longmen, and Chu Mofeng trapped Wang Shichong in Luoyang, I want to know what happened next, and listen to the next decomposition......
