The news quickly spread in Chang'an, and all kinds of news spread among the people, causing quite a bit of chaos in the city.
In the fifth year of Wude, Jieli Khan penetrated the Hedong Road, and attacked the Great Shock Pass with a partial force, disturbing Chang'an. Although in the sixth year of Wude, the Tang army and the Turks mainly fought around Mayi, but everyone knows that the Turks will definitely attack in large numbers this year.
.
Why?
Of course it's because Li Shan, who wanted to capture Gushe alive, is now in charge of Daizhou.
In the private room on the second floor of Dongshan Restaurant, Wang Renbiao poured himself a drink with a sullen face. As one of the few people who knew the inside story, he also suspected that this incident was planned by Pei Shiju.
In fact, Wang Renbiao didn't know much. He only knew about Li Shan's life experience, but he didn't know that Li Shan had joined the King of Qin... Even though he knew about the inseparable relationship between Ling Jing and Li Shan, the relationship between Ling Jing and Li Shan was still unclear.
It is a normal choice in this era.
Both of his close friends were in Daizhou, so Wang Renbiao couldn't help but feel worried. After thinking about it again and again, he went downstairs and went straight out of the city to Sun Moon Lake.
Before entering Zhuangzi, Wang Renbiao heard several horses neighing, and several young men galloping in the open space, bows and arrows.
"Wang Langjun." A young man came over.
"Is Mr. Ling here?"
"Yes, Uncle Ling came back early today, and I will lead the way..."
"No need." Wang Renbiao waved his hand. He had been here many times and was probably more familiar with the changes in Sun Moon Lake than Li Shan, so he followed his horse into Zhuangzi.
Along the way, there were horses at the door of almost every house on both sides of the road, with armor on their backs and spears on the walls, as if they were about to go into battle.
After leaving Li's house, Shu Guixian didn't know anything about it. Apart from Zhu Wei, Li Shan was also in Shu Guixian's house.
"Meet my aunt." Li Dewu saluted one by one, "Meet Ling Gong, the Marquis of Qinghe County."
Shu Gui turned his head and glanced at Li Shan, who had an expression on his face. He was very amused. Therefore, the news that Wen Bang, the second son of Wen Xiaowu, the Duke of Qinghe County, had survived has long been spread, and few people were waiting for Shu Gui to make meritorious service.
Or I will be promoted, and then I will grant the previous title and give up the title of Qinghe.
"Xiaoqing knows the inside story." Zhu Wei explained, "Among all the children, only Xiaoqing and Demou know the inside story."
Li Shan nodded slightly. I also knew that although the Zhu family had a wide network of people and few of the children of the family had close friends, the two people who became close friends after he became famous were his best friends. It was strange to know the inside story.
However, Li Shan thought of Li Kai who was now the acting county magistrate and single-handedly controlled Xia City. He glanced at Cui Xin again. The old man and Li Kai's father, Li Keshi, were both officials of the Tiance Mansion. They were both extremely powerful.
He gained the King of Qin's trust, and the other one was regarded as King Qin's brother-in-law.
Both people who knew Shu Gui's life experience were from the lineage of King Qin. Did Zhu really choose King Qin?
Thinking of that, Li Shan pointed to the top seat and asked Li Dewu to sit on it, and said seriously: "Xiaoqing thinks, is Pei Hong planning something?"
Li Dewuqing could not help but look at Cui Xin before replying: "Maybe it's impossible, this is not the first time."
In essence, the methods of Pei Shiju and Wang Renbiao were exactly the same. They used tricks to put the Zhu family into a desperate situation and killed people with borrowed knives... It's no wonder that Pei Shiju despised his father-in-law. He has been famous in the world for decades, but his methods are nowhere near as good as yours.
But in fact, they are the same. Whether Pei Shiju has the strength to directly attack, he can only use that method... When I knew it, there were no more than a hundred personal guards around the Zhu family to protect him.
Wang Renbiao didn't have the strength to take action directly, but at this time... the Zhu family who returned to Chang'an was granted the title of Duke of Guantao County, and his poetic talent overwhelmed Chang'an, and he hooked up with Princess Pingyang. He no longer had any important weight, and Wang Renbiao could only
Able to plan secretly.
All in all, the methods adopted by Weng and his son-in-law make people believe in the hidden story behind that incident.
The one with the calmest mood was of course Zhu Wei. The Lingnan slang that the mother blurted out... was obviously a curse. It was probably Wang Renbiao or Shu Guixian, or more likely they were both scolding each other.
Cui Xin lowered his head slightly. I thought hard for the past two days and discussed the matter with Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui. Everyone felt that...it was probably not Wang Renbiao who took action that time.
On the one hand, he took action several times in the future. As a result, Shu Gui nearly died several times but still made small achievements until he was canonized as the county king. Wang Renbiao should have continued.
On the other hand, Wang Renbiao has already thrown himself into the East Palace Gate. Whether he dies or you live with the Zhu family, there is no need to use that kind of method with an uncertain success rate. In terms of Wang Renbiao's character, in today's situation
Above, it can kill with one strike, so there is no need to take action.
Moreover, Wang Renbiao later suggested that Shu Gui should be appointed as the Duoqing of Zongzheng. This was also a small trap specially prepared for the Zhu family.
Therefore, Du Ruhui judged that Wang Renbiao was probably just pushing the boat... Cui Xin also agreed with that view. Later, when Li Shan arrived, I mentioned it briefly, and it turned out that Zhu Wei was Xin, and it was Shu Guixian who was bitten to death.
Playing tricks.
"Princess Pingyang was at Chengtianmen yesterday..." Li Shan recounted what happened yesterday when Princess Pingyang openly spoke harshly, "If the Yongkang County Duke goes north in time, Your Majesty will summon Huairen back to Chang'an immediately."
Princess Pingyang is indeed very heroic... Li Dewu couldn't help but click his tongue, thought for a while and hesitated: "If the Turks have already attacked after Yongkang County Duke went north..."
"This should also call Huairen back to the capital." Shu Gui stroked his beard and said: "Who knows that Jieli Khan hates the King of Handan deeply. If Huairen leaves, I am afraid that the Turks will try their best to attack or advance."
Li Dewu and Cui Xin looked at each other, and both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes. Li Shan's reason could be said to be sufficient. With Your Majesty's trust in Zhu, and Princess Pingyang, there was no chance of success.
But if the Turks have already attacked, even if the Yongkang County Duke takes office, will Zhu really be recalled to Beijing?
We both know Zhu's temperament very well. Although this young man often causes trouble, he actually doesn't want to cause trouble. Although he is benevolent and righteous, and although he is kind to others, he will always shrink back and stand still when he really encounters trouble.
You may take a few steps forward, but that kind of progress is for the purpose of accumulating strength.
If the situation really reaches this point, will the Zhu family return to Chang'an in despair?
Shu Guixian and Shu Gui both rejected that possibility immediately and cast incomprehensible looks at Li Shan.
Li Shan was a little confused, and before I could react, Shu Gui walked in with her back straight.
Shu Gui suddenly stood up and said, "If there is a war, how can we go out?!"
Although Zhu Wei is angry with Wang Renbiao and Pei Shiju and is concerned about his son's safety, in that case, you will definitely choose to quit.
"That's wrong!" Shu Gui raised his voice and said, "We have ordered eight hundred cavalry, including armor, bows and arrows, spears, horses, and war horses. We will set off immediately."
Li Shan was still confused, but Cui Xin had already stood up and saluted Ling Jing.
Shu Guixian also reacted and stood up to salute. Only then did Li Shanna realize that Ling Jing was wearing soft armor today and had a sword across his waist.
"Sit down, little lady." Ling Jing raised his head and said, "Before Dongshan Temple, there is another chance to fight. In Shandong, Yanmen has a great test, and this time we will test it with Turks!"
Ever since Ling Jing and others fled back from Liaodong and took refuge in Dongshan Temple, they were on the military rolls of all the provinces and never went to the battlefield again.
Back then, the Erzhu clan was known for their sharp military skills, marching across the northern land and pacifying Guanlong. At this time, Rouran still ruled the roost in the grasslands, and the Turks were still just the iron-smelting slaves of Rouran.
