Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Zhe Lou Qiji thought about it, but in the end it was still difficult to make a decision.

Wei Dingbang exhausted all his patience while waiting anxiously.

"Your Excellency, how about we go to steal the camp tonight?"

"Do you know who Chen Ying is? He is the ancestor who played stealing camps. Do you think he is really defenseless?"

Wei Dingbang scolded bitterly: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, so let's forget it?"

Zhe Lou Qiji sneered, and said, "They think we have no chance to attack along the way!"

Not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves thinking.

In fact, Zhelou Qiji's patience has always been very good. He followed Chen Ying not far or near, with a distance of twenty or thirty miles, and slowly went south along the official road.

Half a month later, Chen Ying arrived at Suoqiaodu on the bank of the Yellow River.At the cable bridge crossing, Chen Ying and his party were going to look for a ferry, but after searching around, they found that there was no ferry.

At this moment, a two-masted sailboat with a black capital water supervision flag suddenly appeared on the Yellow River.

Liang Zan said, "How about we borrow their boat?"

Chen Ying nodded noncommittally.

Liang Zan and dozens of personal guards stood on the bank and shouted at the sailboat of the capital water supervisor: "Stop the boat, stop the boat!"

The people on the boat watched the people on the shore yelling, but ignored them at all.

Liang Zan shouted until his voice became hoarse, looking at the shadow of the sail of the big ship going away, he could only return dejectedly.

Just at this moment, a man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek who didn't seem to be kind at first glance quietly approached Liang Zan and whispered, "Who wants to cross the river?"

"If you're not blind, you can see it!" Liang Zan said angrily.

The sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked rogue said with a mouse-eyed look: "Ten taels of silver, I'll find you a boat!"

"If you can find the boat, I will give you ten taels of silver!"

Poppi stretched out his hand and opened it to Liang Zan, Liang Zan took out ten taels of silver and threw it to Poppi.

Poppy took the silver and put it in his mouth to bite it, to test the authenticity of the silver, and then said with a smile: "This cable bridge has actually been abandoned. Some time ago, there were several shipwrecks in succession, and seventeen or eight people were drowned. Now You don’t want to cross the river here anymore, but go down to Shilipu to cross the river, if you get there, there are still ten or eight ferries!”

Liang Zan said, "Follow him to find the boat!"

Four or five personal guards followed the rogue along the river bank and downriver.I didn't walk too much, but there was a large reed marsh within one or two miles.

The poppy suddenly burrowed into the reeds and disappeared instantly.Seeing this, several personal guards yelled: "Stop, stop, if you run again, you will shoot arrows!"

About a quarter of an hour later, four or five personal guards returned dejectedly: "Damn, it's really unlucky to meet a liar!"

Chapter 93 Li Shimin's doubts

"Is there any change in Chang'an?"

Li Yuan ordered Liu Wenjing to be killed. In fact, it was not simply because Liu Wenjing was too involved in the battle for the Eastern Palace. The key was that Chang'an's hearts were fluctuating, and Li Yuan needed a stand to deter dissidents.Liu Wenjing's head is not big, just right for that poor chicken to scare the chicken to scare the monkey.

Pei Ji leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "On the surface, the turmoil at Yushitai is calm, but it is still boiling secretly!"

With the loss of Taiyuan, the hearts of the Tang court were floating.In the previous play, some Li Yuan abandoned Hedong, and some recruited Liu Wuzhou. Some even proposed to unite with Dou Jiande and fire Liu Wuzhou, while others proposed to unite with Wang Shichong to flank Liu Wuzhou.In fact, none of these memorials touched Li Yuan's heart.

Li Yuan had no choice but to put it on the shelf and ignore it.But instead, these people became even more energetic, playing to Li Yuan endlessly, and these memorials annoyed Li Yuan very much.Those who presented the memorial were either Qingliu celebrities or Guanlong aristocrats. They were either highly respected or famous all over the world.For these smelly and tough people, Li Yuan can't beat or scold them. Once these people join hands and they will fully support Liu Wuzhou, Datang will lose Hedong forever. With continuous support from horses, Liu Wuzhou will be in serious trouble at that time.

In this case, Li Yuan decided to kill him.

Killing Liu Wenjing, Li Mi and dozens of people in one go, in this environment, the atmosphere of the court is very quiet.At least those memorials that gave Li Yuan a headache were swept away.

"After Chen Ying broke through Yanmen Pass and broke the siege of Weize Pass from north to south, the situation in Hedong took a turn for the worse. Now His Royal Highness has defeated Song Jingang's Ministry and recovered Hui, Shi, Jie, Haozhou and other states. If there is no accident, what His Royal Highness said The Ministry and Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang's Ministry will join forces under the city of Taiyuan in half a month, and then Liu Wuzhou will be unable to escape." Li Yuan nodded and smiled slightly: "Taiyuan is the land of dragon prosperity, Liu Wuzhou vainly intends to occupy Taiyuan and defend it to the death. , It's really ridiculous, when the crown prince comes to Taiyuan, Taiyuan will be destroyed without attack!"

Pei Ji smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"How is Chen Ying's injury?"

From time to time, Li Yuan seemed to be talking to himself in front of the Panlong Pillar, but a voice came from the empty hall: "Two ribs were injured, it's fine!"

"Have you returned from Weize Pass?"

"General Chen immediately left for Chang'an after receiving His Majesty's order! It's just...just!"

"It's just that when we were in the Shuque Valley, General Chen and his party encountered an attack. General Chen personally defeated the enemy and killed the generals, captured more than [-] bandits, and handed them over to Li Zhongwen, the governor of Bingzhou!"

Li Yuan's expression turned cold immediately: "Where is Li Zhongwen, as the governor of Bingzhou, so many cases have occurred in Hedong, doesn't he even have an excuse?"

Yu Yanzhang didn't answer, but Pei Ji said: "Your Majesty, the Tianxing army in Hedong is newly defeated, and there are countless people who have fled and fled. If we clear up the bandits in Hedong, we won't be able to complete the success within three to five months."

Li Yuan laughed back in anger; "The founding Martial Arts Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, the Hushi General, and the Lingzhou Chief were assassinated. These thieves are really daring, do they still take the court seriously?"

Pei Ji said: "Three or five days to raise the army and defeat the army, if you go up the mountain to be a robber, it makes sense and reason, but there are thousands of people? If you abandon the army to the nearest king's teacher, you will inevitably make a general Ningyuan. But they He chose to attack Chen Huanqi, there may be something hidden in it!"

Li Yuan was noncommittal, and his face moved slightly: "What is Shimin doing?"

"His Royal Highness King Qin is still ill." Pei Ji secretly said in his heart, the Li family father and son are both born to be acting, and they pretend to be sick if they disagree with each other.Li Jiancheng pretended to be sick before, but now it is good that when Li Shimin asked to fight in Hedong and was rejected by Li Yuan, Li Shimin also thanked the guests behind closed doors, declaring that he was sick in bed.

Li Yuan's expression darkened and he said coldly: "Let him Hedong meet my hussars general. Liu Wuzhou's powerful generals failed to kill him on the battlefield. If Xiaoxiao's crime succeeds, I will become the biggest in the world." joke."

In officialdom, nothing happens by accident.In Li Yuan's mind, the people who assassinated Chen Ying should be Li Shimin's family. Now that Li Jiancheng has won successive victories in Hedong, and Chen Ying, as Li Jiancheng's protégé, the collapse of the entire Hedong was almost turned by Li Jiancheng with his own efforts.

As Qin Wang Li Shimin, he must be unwilling.

People with a discerning eye can actually see at a glance that Li Jiancheng's contribution to fix the overall situation in Hedong was actually picked up for nothing, and Chen Ying was the one who made the most effort. Chen Ying chose to send troops at the most appropriate time.Unexpectedly, the raid on Hedong from Lingzhou stabilized the situation in Hedong in one fell swoop.

Li Shimin has a motive and a reason to get rid of Chen Ying.

As long as Chen Ying is eliminated, not only will the achievements of Hedong be eclipsed, but also Li Jiancheng's powerful arm will be eradicated. After discussing important matters, Chai Shao suddenly sneaked to the east of the river, and this was the biggest problem.

Li Yuan is not afraid of Li Shimin fighting Li Jiancheng, but this struggle must be under his control. Li Yuan still needs the Chen family, not the Hou Mo Chen family behind Chen Ying.

As the grandson of Li Hu, one of the Great Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Yuan is very aware of the power of the clan.The envoys, the generals of the Zhu Kingdom, the governors, the great uncles, and the founding father of Zhaojun Li Bi (Li Mi's great-grandfather) family were attacked successively by the Sui Dynasty, and Li Mi was still in trouble. , and Li Mi's uncle Li Zhongwen had defected to Datang and became the governor of Bingzhou before the Tang Dynasty was established.

The suppression of the Mohou Chen family in the Sui Dynasty was far less than that of Zhao Guogong's family.The hidden strength of the envoys, generals of the Zhu Kingdom, governors, Shaofu, and the founding father of Pengcheng County, Liang Guogong Hou Mochen's family must not be underestimated.Chen Ying is only the fifth son of Hou Mo and Chen Rui, and Hou Mo and Chen Ying only left a Hou Mo and Chen pious society in Chang'an, so the hidden children of the Hou Mo and Chen family must have served Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande There are also some, even in Lingnan, which is the headquarters of the Hou Mochen family.

If in the struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, one of Hou Mochen's important sons is lost, God knows whether Hou Mochen's family will go crazy?

In Qin Wangfu, Li Shimin received Li Yuan's verbal order to meet Chen Ying, and Li Shimin also felt baffled.It is also a reward and a courtesy to let the dignified super prince go to meet a great hero.But now that Chen Yingyuan is in Hedong, three or four hundred miles away, even Wei Qing and Huo Qubing didn't receive such great courtesy back then, right?

Chen Ying has made great contributions, and Chen Ying has made great contributions to pacifying Hedong, but no matter how great Chen Ying's contribution is, it is impossible for a prince to go three or four hundred miles away to meet him, right?

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more puzzled he became, but he had to listen to Li Yuan's order, so he took Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, and eight hundred black armored cavalry to the east of the river.

Suoqiao crossing, Liang Zan was furious.Ten taels of silver is not much, but it is also Liang Zan's salary for one month.
