Chapter 256 A Nightmare

On June 27, Li Yuan appointed Qin King Li Shimin as the chief general of the Qingzhou Road Army, and Qian Jiulong, the general of the Left Wu Guard, as the deputy chief general, and commanded the troops of Yi, Bi, Tong, Fang and Fu, to conquer Yang Wengan.

Li Shimin led his troops away with high fighting spirit, and Li Yuan ordered the governor of Ningzhou Liu Shirang to preside over the defense of Renzhi Palace.

Liu Shirang became the governor of Ningzhou, but his military power was actually weakened by the emperor in disguise. There were only four middle-class military governments in Ningzhou, with less than 4,000 troops and far away from the northern frontline. It was completely incomparable to him before, leading tens of thousands of troops to participate in various wars.

Therefore, Liu Shirang knew very well that the emperor's temporary activation was just a temporary measure, but he was very single, leaving all the two thousand people accompanying him at the entrance of the Phoenix Valley and went to Renzhi Palace alone to meet the saint.

Li Yuan was still resentful of Liu Shirang's violation of the edict last year, but seeing that the other party is acting like this, he gradually let go of his grudges in his heart.

Li Yuan said that after quelling Yang Wengan's rebellion, he would appoint Liu Shirang as the new governor of Qingzhou. Liu Shirang was ecstatic and quickly leaned over and kowtowed to thank him.

After a long talk ended successfully, Liu Shirang walked out of Renzhi Palace with great enthusiasm and was about to turn over to his horse when a woman suddenly heard behind him: "Yuan Qin, wait."

Liu Shirang turned around and saw a young woman standing tall outside the palace gate. She was wearing a lotus scarf and a moon-white Taoist robe. She held a whisk in her hand and smiled with her lips. Her extremely beautiful face was vaguely Princess Pingyang of Girls' Generation.

Since the end of the Mayi war last year, Liu Shirang has never seen Li Yao again. He only had the impression of Li Yao pretending to be a tomboy in his mind. When he saw Li Yao wearing a Kun Dao outfit, he realized after a while that he had already gained a new name. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "My minister Liu Shirang has seen Princess Mingzhao."

Li Yaoxu helped him and said softly: "I want to ask you something."

Liu Shirang nodded: "Please tell me if you are lord."

Li Yao asked, "I wonder how many soldiers Yuan Qin left in Ningzhou?"

Liu Shirang said: "There are still 1,800 people in Baijiabao, and my brother Shibao is temporarily led by my brother."

Li Yao's expression slightly condensed and he said seriously: "If you don't want your only brother to die in a bad way and become the governor of Qingzhou to be vain, please send a quick horse to inform Shibao to take more precautions after returning to the camp. If I expected it right, then Yang Wengan would definitely lead his troops to attack Ningzhou."

In fact, Li Yao said this only based on the historical information in her memory, and there was no factual basis.

However, Liu Shirang was very impressed by Li Yao's talent in Shuozhou. Hearing this, he felt that Yang Wengan turned around and attacked Ningzhou with empty defenses. Without thinking about it, he clasped his fists and said, "Liu's life was saved by the Lord. Today he received the Lord's warning. He would not thank him for his great kindness. If he uses Liu's place in the future, please speak up, even if he is in a sea of ​​fire, he will not refuse."

Li Yao urged: "Okay, Governor Liu, hurry up and hurry up."

"Take care, please go."

Liu Shirang bowed deeply again, then pulled his saddle and rode hurriedly towards the military camp stationed at the entrance of the valley.

Li Yao looked at Liu Shirangfei's figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Li Shimin couldn't listen to her words, she could only find an obedient person to play the role of her time traveler, at least it would not make things worse than the original history.

...

...

The night is deep.

Li Yao lay quietly on the couch, sleeping soundly, and was suddenly awakened by a burst of pissing sounds outside.

This is the alarm of the army's attacks against enemy forces. The howlings, the shouts of killing, and the sound of weapons fighting quickly echoed through the night sky.

Li Yao got up from the bed, put on his clothes and shoes quickly, picked up his sword and jumped directly outside the hall from the window. He saw palace maids and eunuchs running around like headless flies, and it was a mess.

The sound was too noisy, and Li Yao could not tell the location of the incident, so he had to jump to the top of the palace to observe the situation. A large group of people rushed to the place where the prince was imprisoned.

Li Yao couldn't help but feel a stern heart, and hurriedly flew over, and saw countless torches gathering into a halo. General Zhongwu Jing Junhong was leading the imperial guards to surround and kill a group of masked black-clad guests.

These black-clad guests are all agile and quick-responsive. They look quite good, but the soldiers of the imperial guards seem to be more well-trained. Countless steel swords and spears seem to be cast into an airtight iron net. No matter which direction the black-clad guests break through, they often end up with limbs flying across and intestines rotting.

Seeing that the imperial guards had the upper hand, Li Yao felt that he might not have to take action, but the secret was inevitable. The encirclement of the imperial guards was still a gap by five very fierce black-clad guests. Jing Junhong chased after them with a knife. The sword was extremely cruel and caused people to die. In just a blink of an eye, the black-clad guests had already left four of them, with only one person left.

Li Yao suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help but shout: "Catch the living!"

However, Jing Junhong ignored it and did not stop at all. However, when a knife flashed, the remaining guest in black was chopped into two halves by him.

Li Yao tried to go forward to check that the fallen black guest was still alive. Jing Junhong blocked her with a quick step and whispered: "Please don't let the general be embarrassed."

Li Yao's heart sank, feeling embarrassed... Who can he make things difficult for him?

This Jing Junhong was the one who later stationed at Xuanwu Gate and opened a door of convenience for Li Shimin.

Now that the other party's behavior is obviously betrayed Li Yuan and defected to Li Shimin.

Li Yao snorted coldly and turned around and soon there was a loud shout behind her.

"Look at it, General, there are still thieves who are not dead!"

"Kill!"

"Don't kill me, I'm...ah!"

...

...

"Who are these bold madmen?"

Li Yuan was shocked overnight and felt quite depressed. After only a few bites of breakfast, he rushed to summon Jing Junhong, Lu Shiheng and several other imperial guards to inquire about the results of the investigation.

Jing Junhong said carefully: "Report to Your Majesty, the thief came prepared, and most of them were not found, but we all knew one of them."

Li Yuan's expression tightened and he couldn't help but shouted: "Tell me quickly, who is it!"

Jing Junhong hurriedly replied: "The General of the Central Army, Yuan Yitai."

Li Yuan suddenly stood up from the throne and asked anxiously: "Where is this person?"

Jing Junhong swallowed his saliva and said in fear and fear: "The thief wore a mask and had strong resistance. He was killed on the spot."

Li Yuan's brows immediately frowned into the character "Chuan". In fact, he had known that Yuan Yitai was from the prince Li Jiancheng, and that Yuan Yitai was just taking the turn for the palace ban last night.

In view of this, the purpose of the thief's action seems to be self-evident.

Li Yuan pondered for a long time, and suddenly beat the throne heavily and said hatefully: "Damn the traitor!"

Several imperial guards all knelt down: "Have your majesty calm down."

Li Yuan paced around the hall, and was silent for a while. General Lu Shiheng of the Lang general said, "Your Majesty, I suggest that all the soldiers on duty who were on duty were sentenced to be sentenced to severe interrogation. Perhaps we can find out the envoy behind the scenes."

“No need.”
