Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4315
The imperial guards went out, Li Zhi looked at Yu Wenshi and said: "The important place in the army, servants are not allowed to enter without permission, it is better for Duke Ying to go out to meet him, if there are any books or messages, just bring them back."

Yuwen Shiji immediately understood Li Zhi's meaning, and hurriedly responded: "It's because the old minister didn't think carefully, please wait a moment, Your Highness."

strode out.

All the people present in the Chinese army's big tent are Li Zhi's cronies, but not all of them may be loyal. Even if they are loyal now, they may not be loyal at a certain juncture in the future. If personal information is leaked here, it will be a fatal blow.

You have to be careful. You can let everyone know the specific strategy, but you must not easily reveal who is in secret contact with Chang'an...

The tent fell into silence again. Although Li Zhi's words were cryptic, which one sitting here is not the best of the best?They can all understand Li Zhi's worry and understand the reason for this worry, but this does not mean that he can feel comfortable in his heart.

They all sacrificed their lives for the great cause of His Royal Highness King Jin and even risked their lives, so why favor one over the other?
Chu Suiliang lowered his head to drink his tea, feeling a little terrified, thinking that His Royal Highness Jin Wang obviously became suspicious of someone present, and wondered if he would suddenly attack at a certain moment and kill him suddenly?
What if the person under suspicion is yourself?
At that time, if he confessed to Xiao Yu, would King Jin believe it?
What's more serious is that if Xiao Yu was afraid that he would confess him, would he act preemptively and kill the grass?
For a moment, Chu Suiliang sadly found that he had clearly done nothing, but seemed to have fallen into a huge pit full of dangers, and he was in danger of dying at every turn...

Fortunately, he didn't suffer from worry for too long, and Yuwen Shiji returned after a while, his footsteps became more convenient, and the exhaustion and haggardness on his face seemed to be swept away, and he quickly entered the big tent with a letter in his hand In front of King Jin, the voice trembled uncontrollably: "Your Highness...it's done!"

Li Zhi pursed his lips, took the letter paper from Yuwen Shiji's hands, and read it at a glance. He was lucky and wanted to suppress the excitement in his heart, but he couldn't. He stood up suddenly, looked around, and gritted his teeth. Staring, he uttered a sentence almost like a roar: "God help me too!"

Everyone in the tent was a little embarrassed. It seemed that they must have secretly contacted a heavyweight who could determine success or failure, and they gave King Jin an affirmative reply, willing to send troops to help fight for the throne, and even promised to support Li Zhi's ascension to the throne.

Niu Jinda strode in from the outside of the hall, his nails clanging as he walked, he came to Cheng Yaojin in a few strides, and said in a low voice: "The news from the scouts just now is that the three armies Xue, Liu, and Zheng have assembled in Ba On the east bank of the water, we can forcefully cross the river at any time, and King Jin has already set up his camp and marched west."

Niu Jinda shook his head, and was about to persuade him again, when there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, a school lieutenant walked in quickly, and after seeing the salute, he said anxiously: "Commander, Jin Wang's army has already left camp and set off!"

Niu Jinda didn't bother to think about these difficult questions, but he still laughed aloud: "Who will secretly communicate with King Jin?"

Niu Jinda didn't care about his annoyance, he said haha, but he knew in his heart that his guess was right, this guy looks rough but his mind is delicate, he is the most cunning and scheming...

And if it came from the scouts, King Jin's army passed through the gap between the two armies...

Li Zhi's face was full of red, and he looked around with a smile, and said in a full-fledged manner: "My lords, follow me to Chang'an and achieve a great cause!"

Cheng Yaojin widened his eyes, and said displeasedly: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I keep my word and keep my promise, and I will do what I promise even if I go through fire and water. How can you question my character like this?"

The wind and rain are getting stronger outside the window.

Even a Tang emperor like Li Chengqian could overthrow him, who would care about killing one more Li Zhi?
To kill or not to kill, to overthrow or to support, it all depends on one's own interests. As long as the benefits of supporting a prince again are greater than the benefits that Li Zhi can give, those people will abandon Li Zhi without hesitation.

But how many people who were able to march into Chang'an to overthrow the emperor, including Cheng Yaojin himself, were truly loyal?The reason why everyone was loyal in the past was His Majesty Li Er, not Datang, let alone Li Chengqian.

Cheng Yaojin poured Niu Jinda a cup of tea, and poured one himself: "Now it seems that King Jin is not just waiting for the response from the troops stationed in Guanzhong. He dared to attack Chang'an when the situation was unclear. He must have made thorough preparations... Chang'an In the city, it is very likely that someone secretly contacted King Jin, and when King Jin's army arrives at the city, they will respond immediately, not only can they successfully seize the throne, but they can also sit firmly."

In the final analysis, this is a master who "does not scatter the eagle if he does not see the rabbit", and refuses to take any losses...

Cheng Yaojin was silent for a moment, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Life is fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, how can I abandon my family's century-old foundation just because of him? It should be his fate, and he cannot blame others."

"Du Qu?"

Cheng Yaojin seemed to have a sense of accomplishment in showing his IQ in front of this confidant. The more he created a scene surrounded by clouds and mountains and mist and made Niu Jinda puzzled, the happier he was, and he said slowly: "Who knows? It's just those few people."

*****
From Duqu and Weizhao to the south, there is a piece of unfinished temples scattered on the Shaoling Plain. The mountain gate, bell and drum towers, Dharma hall, Zen hall, Tibetan scripture building and other buildings have begun to take shape, and they are still far from completion. Artisans and monks have long been expelled.

But he still reminded: "Sanlang is still in the hands of King Jin, be careful not to ruin his life."

The sound of the orderly's hoofbeats was like rain hitting plantains, and the entire barracks was boiling.

But none of the people here know who this person is, let alone how to implement it. If it is just a few general congratulations, it would be a bit empty...

Cheng Yaojin unfolded the map on the table, moved his fingers in the original direction of Shaoling, and finally landed on the word Duqu, then moved south to Xingjiao Temple, which is where he is currently, and then went north again, I swiped around Du Ling, where Liang Jianfang led his army to guard at that time.

If Cheng Yaojin did something unfavorable to King Jin, Cheng Chubi's life would be in danger...

"The scout reported that it was estimated based on its forward direction. It should be along Duqu, through Shaoling Plain, and headed straight to Chang'an."

Li Zhi didn't care about these things, he was now filled with ecstasy, and immediately ordered Yu Chigong: "Mr. E, immediately gather troops, and leave a sufficient force to prevent Xue, Liu, and Zheng from crossing Bashui. Pursue and kill, and the rest of the troops will pull out their camps and rush to Chang'an!"

Cheng Yaojin ignored him, and ordered: "Order the whole army, and everyone sticks to the camp. Without the order of the commander in chief, they are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization, and they are not allowed to fight with the army of King Jin. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"

This is indeed great news, and it is no wonder that Li Zhi, who has always paid attention to his appearance, lost his composure.

In his opinion, it is not difficult to overthrow Li Chengqian. The hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Guanzhong are just withdrawn from the Liaodong battlefield and have not had time to repair. Many government soldiers have never been repatriated to their original places. into Chang'an.

Even after Li Zhi's downfall, he will give Li Zhi a hard kick, pushing all the crimes of "rebellion", "rebellion", "regicide" and so on on Li Zhi, and his own guilt will be completely wiped out...

Niu Jinda was speechless, the two had fought side by side and supported each other for decades, how could they not understand each other's temper?

So he didn't intend to become a bad taste for gold all the time, and changed the subject decisively: "The commander-in-chief really intends to fulfill his promise and back off to make way for the king of Jin when he marches into Chang'an? If you have other concerns, please let me know clearly, and I am fine." Be prepared, otherwise it will be easy to ruin the important event of the commander-in-chief."

Niu Jinda stood on the side of the table and looked at the map, his eyes followed Cheng Yaojin's fingers, and when he saw that he was last pointing at many places in Liang Jianfang, he shook his head and sighed: "This child... is really unlucky. "

It is impossible for Li Zhi to be foolishly pushed by everyone and enter Chang'an with all his heart, let alone think that overthrowing Li Chengqian can achieve imperial dominance and emulate the story of His Majesty Li Er. He did not immediately depose Emperor Gaozu to ascend the throne himself, but first established himself as the prince, and after sweeping away those ambitious people who wanted to take millet from the fire, he forced Emperor Gaozu to abdicate and ascended the throne as emperor .

The real difficulty is that after Li Chengqian was overthrown, Li Zhi could sit firmly on the throne.

"Here!"

Sitting in the meditation hall, Cheng Yaojin looked at the raindrops and fallen leaves outside the window, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

At this moment, it was raining heavily and the fallen leaves were rustling. Numerous military camps surrounded the monastery, and the Chinese military tents were set up in the monastery.

"I will follow you to the death and do my best to serve you!"

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said, "Be safe and don't be impatient, have the scouts found out where King Jin is going?"

After saying that, he walked out of the tent with strides, and the armor leaf clanged loudly, and when he reached the outside of the tent, he shouted: "Send the order, the whole army muster!"

He glanced at his own commander with some resentment. He had always been very optimistic about Liang Jianfang, but last time he was almost buried in the rebellion army by Cheng Yaojin. …

Once this step is taken, it cannot be taken back. According to his understanding of Cheng Yaojin, he will never put himself in such a life-or-death situation in his spare time. If one side agrees to King Jin, the other side contacts the emperor secretly , this is in line with Cheng Yaojin's style of work.

It stands to reason that everyone should say a few words of congratulations at this time, to brighten the atmosphere and boost morale.

Yu Chigong hurriedly got up and promised loudly: "Here!"

The captain got the order, turned around and left in a hurry, conveying the order to the whole army.

*****
On the west side of Duling, the Right Guard Barracks.

In the tent of the Chinese army, Liang Jianfang, who was still bare-chested and wrapped in gauze, got the news that King Jin's army had set up its camp, and the scouts had already scouted and found out the advancing route of King Jin's army.

Looking at the advancing route of King Jin's army on the map, it was in the gap between himself and Cheng Yaojin's position, and at the same time, he learned that Cheng Yaojin's Zuo Wuwei was sticking to the camp and was about to let Jin Wang's army rush to Chang'an. , suddenly burst into anger, and slammed the table hard!
"Old thief Cheng Yaojin, you are too deceptive!"
