Chapter 1 Preparation for War
Wang Shichong reluctantly arranged the matter and then ordered people to carry it back to the Shangshu Mansion. The soldiers did not immediately enter the palace, and Wang Shichong was not blinded by excitement. If he moved into the palace at this time, it would immediately attract contempt from all over the world, especially the people of Luoyang. In that case, even if he ascended the throne and became the real king of Luoyang, there would be a lot of scolding in Luoyang City. Wang Shichong would never do such a thankless thing.
In the Shangshu Mansion, Wang Shichong leaned against the edge of the couch, and Wang Xuanying and Wang Xuanshu brothers stood respectfully in front of him. Wang Shichong sighed and said, "I didn't expect that Dugu's old man's kilometer would be so refined. It seems that he must have deliberately hidden his strength in his last fight with him."
Wang Xuanying walked to Wang Shichong and smiled flatteringly: "Dad lost to Dugu'er this time, but was just a careless person. According to the child, his kung fu is only higher than that of Dugu Feng. When his father's injury heals, he will definitely be able to beat him up and urinate."
Wang Xuanshu frowned when he heard this. What he disliked the eldest brother the most was that he liked to flatter his father. Although Wang Xuanying's kung fu was taught by Wang Shichong, Wang Xuanying naturally did not practice kung fu well in order to enjoy himself. He also liked to drink with some friends in Luoyang City. The people knew that Wang Shichong was powerful and thought that he would live in Luoyang in the future, so they dared not speak out. Wang Xuanshu told Wang Shichong several times that Wang Shichong turned a deaf ear and pretended not to hear it.
At this moment, when he heard Wang Xuanying's kiss again, he couldn't help but get angry and lowered his head and said to Wang Shichong: "Dad, now Dugu Feng has successfully escaped Luoyang. I think it must be a big reunion with Li Mi. He has arrived at Luoyang at this moment. Although the eldest brother has received guidance from his father, he must have prestige among the three armies. If he had no father to take charge of the three armies, he would probably..."
Wang Xuan should hear Wang Xuanshu say this, and he said to Wang Xuanshu unhappily: "What do you mean by the second brother? How dare you determine that I can't lead the three armies? Humph, let alone Li Mi, even if Li Shimin personally said that the army was coming to attack Luoyang, I could kill him without leaving any armor."
Wang Shichong glared at Wang Xuanying and said in a deep voice: "Ying'er is not allowed to live. Shu'er is right. Don't think that dad doesn't know your daily style and eats, drinks and has fun all day long. With your current prestige, it is definitely not convincing the soldiers of the three armies. Dad has to hand over Luoyang to your hands. Humph, there is no one who can absolutely trust except you two, especially Dad is seriously injured now... Cough cough, seriously injured, you must be careful of the people around you at all times."
Wang Xuanshu looked at Wang Shichong with a silence, but he didn't say anything to him. He knew Wang Shichong's character best. After all, the father and son have lived together for so many years, and he has always been dissatisfied with Wang Shichong's suspicion. However, Wang Shichong himself was stubborn and could not listen to any harmful words. Therefore, Wang Xuanshu could only sigh in his heart and did not speak.
At this time, Wang Xuanying, who was beside him, replied: "Since my father has such an idea, why do you still use Long Tianxiao as the military advisor? Not long after this person came to Luoyang, the city of Luoyang was full of storms. And as far as the child knows, this person has a bad intention, so he must have bad intentions towards Luoyang."
After hearing this, Wang Xuanshu said angrily: "Brother is wrong to say this. According to me, Brother Long really wants to help us defeat Li Mi this time, so how can he have ulterior motives?"
Wang Xuanying glared at Wang Xuanshu and said, "Hmph, you know people but not your heart. How can you be so sure that Long Tianxiao has no ill-telling intention towards Luoyang? Why are you turning your elbow out?"
Wang Xuanshu still wanted to argue, but Wang Shichong coughed and said, "Shut up for me."
Seeing that Wang Shichong's face looked slightly angry, the two brothers hurriedly kept silent.
Wang Shichong said: "Ying'er, Long Tianxiao is above you both literary and military. As for the purpose of this person coming to Luoyang, Dad naturally knows it. Dad just wants to use his abilities." Then he sighed slightly and said: "Everything has been planned. After conquering the palace, Dad will personally put on a coat and fight against Li Mi. At that time, Long Tianxiao can only be considered one of my aides at most, even if he uses his talents to defeat Li Mi in the end.
In that case, all the credit will be on me, the commander, and in this way, I will definitely be supported by the people of Luoyang and ascend the throne and become emperor smoothly. However, I never expected that the palm of Dugu completely disrupted my plan. For now, I had to hand over Luoyang to Xuanying. Humph, once I defeat Li Mi, although the credit is not my husband, at least it is my Wang family, which is also extremely beneficial to my father's level of becoming emperor."
Wang Xuanying nodded at this moment, and smiled flatteringly at Wang Shichong: "Dad is still wise. Hehe, in this way, even if Long Tianxiao has great skills, he can only be at our mercy." After saying that, he looked at Wang Shichong, and the two of them laughed happily at the same time. Only the smile on Wang Xuanshu's side was a little guilty, but they were father and son and brothers after all. Although he did not agree with his father and eldest brother's approach, he would never disclose this to others."
…………
In the restaurant, at this time, Yang Gongqing, Linglongjiao and Shuanglong were sitting in the guest room. Yang Gongqing smiled and said, "Haha, I didn't expect that things would go very smoothly. Everything was going according to our plan. But there was one thing that Wang Shichong didn't think he completely believed in the prince and had no longer handed over the real power of the army to the prince."
I gently sipped herbal tea and smiled and said, "Actually, this was already under my expectations. Wang Shichong was only given the title of military advisor at best. He would never hand over the right to mobilize Luoyang troops into my hands. He would not easily believe his subordinates who have followed him for decades, let alone me, who has just arrived in Luoyang."
Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Who knows what Wang Shichong, the old fox, thinks in his heart. However, having Wang Xuanying, a boy who likes to show off his airs, is probably extremely unfavorable to our plan."
Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Wang Xuanying is just a ghastly person and will not do much. As long as we send troops to leave Luoyang to pursue Li Mi, with his fear of death and injury, we will definitely stay in Luoyang with illness. At that time, as long as we can hold back the accompanying governor and wait for Lang Feng to rebel in the Yan army."
Yang Gongqing nodded, turned to Linglongjiao and asked, "Linglong knows where Li Mi's army has arrived at this moment?"
Linglongjiao thought for a while: "Our horse exploration last night reported that Li Mi's men had already arrived in the forest fifty miles south of Luoyang City. Li Mi's march was indeed beyond our expectations. From Xingyang to here, they were all mountain roads or small roads in the woods. Li Mi's army must have hunters who are familiar with the local terrain leading the way, otherwise they would not dare to come to Luoyang from there. There were thorns in the woods. If no one led the way, it would be fine to say that ordinary soldiers would not last for three days. According to their journey, they would be able to come to Luoyang around noon tomorrow."
Kou Zhong turned his face to look at Linglong and smiled, "Sister Linglong is so amazing. Old boy Li Mi can be dug up by you even if he runs into the woods. But... did Wang Shichong know about this too?"
Linglong gave Kou Zhong a blank look and said, "Hmph, these spies were trained by this girl himself, so they are naturally extraordinary. How can they be compared with other spies from Wang Shichong?"
After hearing this, Kou Zhong was speechless and scratched his head and said, "But this...spy...he...Wang Shichong...your..."
When Xu Ziling and Kou Zhongzixiao grew up together, they naturally knew what Kou Zhong said. We looked at him for no reason, not knowing what he meant.
Linglongjiao stared at Kou Zhong and said, "Hmph, a big man is also a mother-in-law and mother. You still claim to be a young talent in the world. In my opinion, you are not as happy as a daughter."
Kou Zhong was a mute and couldn't say that he had suffered from eating Coptis chinensis. His face turned red. He rarely saw anyone who could make this fool of himself. We had already laughed out loud. Xu Ziling explained to Linglongjiao with a smile: "Xiao Zhong means that since the girl is Wang Shichong's subordinate, the spy trained by the girl is naturally Wang Shichong's spy. In this way, we know Li Mi's itinerary, and Wang Shichong will definitely be able to grasp the movements of Li Mi's people."
Kou Zhong smiled and said, "Hehe, Xiaoling still understands me and knows what I mean."
Linglongjiao looked at Xu Ziling and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, these spies are my private subordinates. They were ordered by Mr. Yang to train me secretly. There are only ten people. Wang Shichong is not aware of this matter."
寇仲恍然大悟的点了点头.
I smiled and said, "Although Wang Shichong doesn't know the traces of Li Mi now, I dare to expect that Wang Shichong will definitely get information about Li Mi tomorrow morning."
Yang Gongqing looked at me and said in confusion: "Why are you sure about it?"
