In the handsome tent, Li Shimin and Xia Yu are playing chess.
On the side, Du Ruhui, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Gong, and Zhai Changsun were accompanying them, all of them were fully armed and ready for action at any time.
Even Du Ruhui, a scholar, wore armor and had a horizontal sword tied to his waist.
After another sunspot fell, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile triumphantly and said: "The military advisor is in a desperate situation, why not admit defeat!?"
Xia Yu scratched her head, looked at her white chess piece, smiled wryly and spread her hands: "Your Highness has won again."
Du Ruqing said cheerfully: "The military advisor is a master disciple of Guigu, but he lost two games in a row to His Highness. Could it be that he is deliberately being humble and trying to flatter His Highness?"
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
Xia Yu couldn't laugh or cry: "It's unfair! I really wanted to win, but my chess skills really don't allow it. I'm a born bad chess player."
This is really not to blame for his bad skills. The main reason is that Go is too boring and not many modern people are interested in it.
The level of summer rain is just that it will fall.
Everyone laughed.
After watching it for a long time, everyone knew that Xia Yu's chess skills were really bad. Unless he was a master of Go, he couldn't hide it from everyone.
You know, Go was a very popular national entertainment activity in ancient times.
Not to mention literati, even many generals are very accomplished, such as Li Jing and Li Shiji, who are at the level of chess masters.
Of course, don't expect rough guys like Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin, they might not be as good as Xia Yu.
"Forget it, no more, just getting beaten is too cruel."
Xia Yu shook her head mockingly, looked at the dark night outside the tent, and muttered: "It's almost the second update, should the matter be resolved?"
"It should be soon. Don't worry, military advisor, there won't be any surprises." Du Ruying smiled confidently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Anan hurriedly entered the account and reported with a happy face: "Your Highness, everything has been solved. A total of fifteen rebel leaders have been trapped and killed, and they are now the leader!"
"The military commanders have secretly mobilized their troops and surrounded the rebel camp to ensure that there will be no mistakes."
pretty!
Everyone cheered in their hearts, pitiful for Xun Pian and other people, obsessed with ghosts. Now their dream has failed, and instead they have ended up with a sad end of body and head.
"How can we finish it and arrange it well?" Xia Yu was very happy.
"Don't worry, military advisor." Zhang Ananda said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is personally in charge and will immediately convene all the middle and lower-level officers of the rebel army for discussion."
"At that time, Xun Xiang and others will be declared guilty and their heads will be presented."
"The rebels are leaderless, and most of them are unaware. They will obey orders obediently. Even one or two of their best friends will be killed on the spot without any movement."
"That's fine."
Everyone was in a great mood. Only by solving the internal hidden dangers could they feel at ease to fight against Zheng Jun.
"Mr. Du, it's still early for the fourth watch. How about you come and play two more games with His Highness?" Xia Yu really didn't want to be abused anymore and quickly gave up her seat.
Du Rumei was not polite and waited to take over.
At this moment, Yu Chigong suddenly stood up, knelt down in the tent with a 'plop', then touched his head to the ground and choked with sobs: "Your Highness——"
Everyone was startled, and Li Shimin quickly stood up and helped each other: "Jingde, what are you doing? Please get up quickly."
Yuchi Gong did not get up, but said with a guilty look on his face: "Xunxiang and I are both good friends and former colleagues. Now that he is plotting rebellion, His Highness has no doubts about him. This really makes me feel ashamed."
Xia Yu and everyone looked at each other and smiled.
This Yuchi Gong is indeed an honest man. Almost all Liu, Wu and Zhou's old troops are against him this time. It would be a lie to say that they are not panic. They must be on pins and needles.
After all, it’s hard to explain what’s going on in the melons and plums.
If he doesn't take the initiative to plead guilty and show his true feelings, I'm afraid that Yu Chigong will be suspected and ostracized by many people in Tangying in the future.
Li Shimin also smiled, patted Yuchi Gong's shoulder, and comforted him: "Jingde is worried too much, and Xunxian is plotting rebellion. Why do you want to do this? I have never doubted Jingde alone."
"I believe in my own vision, but I also believe in Jingde's character."
"In addition, Jingde may not know," Li Shimin pointed at Xia Yu and joked: "The military advisor has said that he also believes in Jingde's character and is willing to risk his life to guarantee your absolute loyalty. So, you are really worrying too much.
"
When Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Zhai Changsun heard this, they all secretly gave Xia Yu a thumbs up.
You know, this kind of guarantee may be fatal, and the military advisor is very honest and can deal with it!
Yuchi Gong was even more moved. This reckless guy was also an honest man. He said to Li Shimin, "Your Highness will repay you with death if you treat someone as a national scholar."
He turned around again and said to Xia Yu, "The military advisor is very loyal. I didn't say anything, but I owe the military advisor a favor."
Xia Yu was startled and quickly helped Yuchi Gong up: "It's over, it's over, please get up, General. To be honest, General, I have selfish motives for doing this."
"What if one day we are surrounded by thieves from three levels inside and three levels outside? With my little martial arts skills, it will really make the heaven and earth unable to respond, and the earth and the earth will not work."
"At that time, I still expected the general to show his unworthy courage and fish me out."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. They all knew that Xia Yu was joking to lighten the atmosphere.
There are thousands of brave generals in the Tang Dynasty, but it will never be Xia Yu's turn, a novice scholar, to charge into battle.
Yuchi Gong was also happy. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, military advisor. One day, there will be thousands of troops and horses, and I will ensure that the military advisor is safe."
"Okay, okay, let's continue playing chess." Xia Yu quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Du, this time it depends on your ability. Don't be stinkier than me."
Du Ruhui laughed and said, "Don't worry, military advisor, your chess skills are unmatched by anyone in the army."
When King Xiao Qin heard this, he was unconvinced: "Don't be so arrogant like this! Come on, come on, you win a game first and then talk about it."
"Come as soon as you come. It seems that I often win against Your Highness."
"Impossible. It's obviously a win-win situation."
The two began to guess chess while bickering. The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became joyful and relaxed, not at all solemn as before the war.
The night is getting darker.
The huge Tang Camp was like a silent giant, lying in the darkness, with only the faint lights from the sentry tower.
Under the moonlight, a Zheng Army cavalryman, with his horse chewing on his horse, quietly approached the edge of the Tang camp.
Seeing that the Tang army was indeed unprepared, Wang Xuanying, the leader, felt relieved.
When attacking at night, he was most afraid of bumping into the opponent's Ye Buzai, so he deliberately made a circle and came from the north where the Tang army was weakly guarded.
Fortunately, he succeeded.
In the night, tens of thousands of Zheng army elites led their horses and crouched on the ground, all as silent as a mountain, waiting for the agreed signal to appear in the Tang camp.
Soon, the sound of banging was vaguely heard from the Tang camp.
Time is up!
However, there was still silence in the Tang camp. Wang Xuanying's heart suddenly rose to his throat and he was very nervous.
Li Shimin's reputation as the undefeated God of War is quite intimidating.
On the side, Shan Xiongxin was also a little anxious waiting, and couldn't help but whispered: "Your Highness, will there be no problem?"
"Yes, this place is too close to the Tang camp, so I won't be able to wait for a long time." Ban Ye Gang also reminded.
"I know, just wait."
Wang Xuanying was also afraid that if any blind Tang Jun came and touched him at night, everything would be over, but now he could only wait.
At this moment, suddenly, a fire broke out in the Tang Army's rear camp, and it quickly spread from one spot to dozens of spots.
Immediately afterwards, the Tang Army's main camp and front camp also burst into flames.
For a moment, the huge Tang camp was filled with flames, people shouting and horses neighing, as if they were in chaos under this sudden change.
"Your Highness, they succeeded in finding the prime minister!" Shan Xiongxin was ecstatic.
"Your Highness, let's do it." Banye Gang was also eager to give it a try.
Wang Xuanying did not hesitate, and raised his spear in his hand: "Everyone mount up."
In an instant, 5,000 Flying Tigers, 5,000 ordinary cavalry, and a total of 10,000 elite Zheng troops mounted their horses. Except for the slightest clang of armor, there was still silence.
The old foundation of the old Sui Xiaoguo Guard Imperial Army is indeed good.
Immediately, Wang Xuanying raised his head and looked into the distance. With the light of the sky, he quickly located the exact location of Li Shimin's central army.
Don’t forget, the Cijian Camp of the Tang Army was originally the old camp of the Zheng Army, and Wang Xuanying was very familiar with it.
"All armies, defeat the Tang army tonight! Your Majesty has ordered that whoever kills Li Shimin will be crowned king!" Wang Xuanying shouted: "Follow me to kill!" He took the lead and rushed out with a wave of his sword.
"kill!"
When the ten thousand elite soldiers of Zheng's army heard the shocking reward, their eyes became red and their blood boiled. They dropped their coins in their mouths and roared out to fight.
Suddenly, torches were everywhere in the wilderness, the sound of killing shook the sky, and tens of thousands of iron hooves shook the sky and the earth, sweeping in.
