So far, Xue Wanche's secret move has no great effect. On the contrary, if Xiao Yu's plan is to suddenly launch a violent attack on the rebels when the forces meet, with Xue Wanche's bravery and Youwuwei's strength, it is very likely that the rebels will be defeated. The 100,000-strong army was defeated and defeated.
If the morale of the rebels completely collapses, they may disperse without waiting to cross the B River to join forces with Yuchi Gong...
Then all the previous plans to lure those disloyal people to jump out were all in vain.
Therefore, Xue Wanche can launch an attack, but he must control the scale. He must not get too excited and lose control to completely disperse the rebels...
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "What I'm asking is not this, but how to deal with the surrender of Song Guogong, Chu Suiliang?"
Not to mention that the current situation is under control. With or without Xiao, Chu and Chu are destined to suppress the rebels. Even if they need Xiao and Chu to change their fate, this kind of person will not make people like him. He will attack Qin Mu and Chu. Senior, who would like it?
Keep such a person by your side, waiting for him to be betrayed again when he is in dire straits?
Li Jidao said: "Your Majesty can make your own decisions, and I have no advice."
When it comes to things, you can speak freely and analyze the pros and cons; when it comes to people, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, and hide your foolishness.
People and things are absolutely different.
The emperor's power is supreme in the world, and the things he considers are different from ordinary people. Generally speaking, the emperor can delegate power to his ministers, allowing them to do whatever they want on a certain matter. Even if they make omissions or even fail, they can be tolerated, but appointments and dismissals are not allowed. But power is not easily passed on to others.
Employing people is the emperor's greatest power.
This is a line, and it is best not to cross it...
Li Jing also understood this truth and nodded in agreement: "How to deal with it all depends on your Majesty's will. No matter what, I support your Majesty's decision."
After being on the bench for more than ten years, Li Jing also figured out some ways to serve as an official when he was depressed. "As long as the emperor decides something, he must support it without principle" is one of them. It is more appropriate to use it in this situation.
Li Ji glanced at Li Jing and was speechless.
You, Pharmacist Li, have always been arrogant and arrogant, not limited by things or obsessed with things. When did you become so unprincipled and slanderous?
Shame on you...
Li Chengqian thought for a while and said: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. It will not be too late until I have a good time to weigh it up. Since Song Guogong wants to 'anyway', then we will give him a chance and order Xue Wanche to listen to Song Guogong's 'persuasion' and prepare Cross the Wei River to 'join forces' with the rebels, and choose the opportunity to launch an attack to weaken the rebels."
"Here!"
*****
The army of the King of Jin marched around the Lishan Mountain in a mighty manner and marched along the Ba River from north to south. The imperial troops on the other side looked at each other across the river and turned a blind eye.
When the army arrived at Tongrenyuan, Li Zhi ordered them to set up camp with their backs on the mountains and across the water, and rest for one night. At the same time, he sent scouts to contact Yuchi Gong, and two days later, they arrived at the source of Ba River to join forces with him, and together they sent troops to attack Chang'an.
At night, Li Zhi tossed and turned in the tent, unable to sleep peacefully.
He has been precocious since he was a child, and is used to playing both sides between his brothers. He is even better at being a well-behaved, sensible, docile and filial boy in front of his father. When he became an adult, he received his father's request and was praised by both the government and the public. Even the company commander Sun Wuji used such ruthless methods to punish him. Everyone wanted to give up the prince and support him to ascend the throne, which made him more confident and believed that his ambition, courage, resourcefulness, and ability were not inferior to anyone in the world.
Even though he escaped from Tai Chi Palace and raised a flag of rebellion, the frequent defeat and death did not make him timid at all.
As a man standing between heaven and earth, what joy can there be in life and what fear can there be in death?
However, now he is getting closer and closer to the city of Chang'an, and his fate is about to be judged. Will he soar into the sky and achieve imperial supremacy, or will he be defeated and die in disgrace and rot under the loess for thousands of years...
Finally, I became uncontrollably nervous and began to think wildly and worry about gains and losses.
"Your Highness, I have something to report."
Wang Shoushi's voice came from outside the door. Li Zhi jumped up, grabbed a piece of clothing, put it on, and stood up to open the door.
The moonlight was like water outside the door, and the early autumn night wind was a bit cool. Looking at Wang Shoushi standing bowed in front of the door, Li Zhi shuddered...
The two returned to the tent, Wang Shoushi closed the door, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Zhi with both hands, saying in a low voice: "The old slave was running around the city of Chang'an to make contacts. When he arrived at Liu Zi's residence, he presented this to Li Zhi.
Please open this letter personally, Your Highness."
Li Zhi was stunned: "Liu Zi?"
Ten years after Zhenguan, the two officials most favored by Emperor Taizong in the court were Ma Zhou and Liu Zi. Emperor Taizong tried his best to cultivate these two people, hoping that they could inherit the moral character and ability of Zhenguan officials and become
The humerus minister of the new emperor.
And these two people did not disappoint Emperor Taizong. Ma Zhou was pragmatic and low-key. After taking over the Jingzhao Mansion, he made outstanding political achievements, outstanding talents and outstanding abilities. Liu Zi made his fortune in Yushitai, and today he has become Zhongshu Ling.
The nominal head of the prime ministers and assistants is only a little bit worse than Shangshu Zuopushe...
How could Wang Shoushi and Wang Shoushi contact such a person?
In an instant, most of the previous apprehensions and worries disappeared, replaced by endless confidence.
Even the Zhongshu Ling appointed by Li Chengqian secretly contacted me, which shows that destiny is mine!
While opening the envelope, he asked: "How was the harvest of this trip?"
Wang Shoushi shook his head and said: "Those guys are just shy of rabbits. If the situation is not clear, they will probably not make a clear stance. It is reasonable. After all, they all have a family, and how many people are there?"
Are people willing to take risks? Just talk about their loyalty to Emperor Taizong and their willingness to support Emperor Taizong's last wish. That's all. The most important thing is to arrive at Chang'an City as soon as possible so that those people can see the light and be willing to interfere.
Come in."
Who would get up early if there is no profit?
Supporting King Jin to seize the throne will certainly bring huge benefits, but the risks are also very high. More people are willing to wait and see for a while, waiting until the chance of King Jin succeeding is higher, even if the benefits will be correspondingly lower, then they will take action.
For example, Chai Zhewei, Liu Zi...
Li Zhi looked at the letter, with a look of astonishment on his face at first, but by the time he finished reading it, his face was already red, and he was furious. He slammed the letter on the table with a "bang" and said angrily: "Old man Xiao Yu is bullying people too much."
, do you really think that this king dare not kill him? This is simply unreasonable!"
He always thought that he was a well-educated person. Although he was not as profound as Changsun Wuji, he was definitely not a superficial person who showed emotions and anger. But now that he had read the letter sent by Liu Zi, he was really furious.
He didn't care about his dignity and cursed loudly.
He has always trusted Xiao Yu even more than Changsun Wuji's uncle. Xiao Yu tried his best to encourage him to escape from the Taiji Palace and rebel. Now that the arrow is on the line, success or failure depends on a thread, Xiao Yu secretly communicates with the emperor and reserves an escape route.
Sell him cleanly!
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
"Immediately send someone to arrest Xiao Yu. I want to dig out his heart and liver with my own hands to see if it is as black as ink? Fortunately, I trust him and obey his words, but he turns out to be such a cold and treacherous person.
Death is not a pity!"

"Your Highness, calm down. At this moment, stabilizing the morale of the army is the most important thing. Liu Rengui and Zheng Rentai have captured Tongguan. Rumors are spreading in the army, and the morale of the army is turbulent. It can no longer withstand a huge setback. Otherwise, we will not wait until we arrive in Chang'an.
Their morale was depleted and they were completely defeated."
Wang Shoushi dissuaded him in a low voice.
Although the private soldiers raised by the Jiangnan gentry have been defeated, Xiao Yu still plays an important role in the current army. After all, Cui Xin, who had a transcendent status as a private soldier in Shandong, had no achievements in the court of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Compared with
Xiao Yu is too far behind, and his prestige is even more incomparable.
Yuchi Gong is a staunch supporter of Xiao Yu. If you want to deal with Xiao Yu, you have to consider Yu Chigong's reaction.
Obviously, Yuchi Gong must have a strong sense of crisis for the King of Jin's army, where the Shandong private army is currently the main force, and he will never be willing to lose Xiao Yu as an ally...
Li Zhi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and thought quickly.
Liu Zi's letter has revealed Xiao Yu's duplicitous position, and stated that Xiao Yu's letter has been delivered to Wude Palace at this moment. The emperor, Li Ji, Li Jing, Fang Jun and others must have begun to prepare in case Xiao Yu really persuaded Xue Wanche.
What should I do if I ask him to "repent" and cross the river to "reunite"?
Accepting his "reunion", with the bravery of Xue Wanche and the fierceness of the Youwu Guards under his command, it is to hold a "shaking thunder" that can explode at any time but does not know when it will explode, which is actually the way to death.
At present, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the army, but no one can resist it. The only one who can stop Xue Wanche is Yuchi Gongyuan, who is far away on the west bank of Bashui...
If you don't accept it, it means you have seen through Xue Wanche's conspiracy and know that he has been persuaded by Xiao Yu. Now that Xue Wanche has crossed the river and headed south, is there any possibility of retreating? He will definitely launch a surprise attack.
Regardless of the outcome, Xue Wanche just dragged him to the Tongren Plain, and the situation immediately fell into a passive position. Those who were waiting for him to break into Chang'an City and then raise troops to respond might have to change their tune and turn to support him wholeheartedly.
The emperor, one after another, raised troops to annihilate this "rebellious" Li Zhi...
At that time, the wall will fall and everyone will push it down, and the drum will be broken and everyone will beat it, and defeat will be inevitable.
The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more frightened I became, the angrier I became. If it weren’t for Xiao Yu, the traitor, how could he be in such a dilemma?
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a solution, so he asked: "What time is it now?"
Wang Shoushi said: "It's almost time."
Li Zhi said flatly: "We went after the order was given. At the Yin hour, we lit a fire and made food. At the beginning of the Mao hour, the whole army broke out of camp and marched to Huaxu Mausoleum to cross the river and join the E Guoguo division."
Wang Shoushi: "Hey! But if Xue Wanche crosses the river and follows him, how should we deal with it?"
Li Zhi looked gloomy and said, "Call Cui Xin."
"Here."
Seeing that King Jin had made a decision, Wang Shoushi stopped talking and went out to convey the order, and at the same time invited Cui Xin.
