Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2485 Planning ahead
Chapter 2481: Planning Ahead
The future will happen in the future, and if Li Shimin can't deal with the mess in Chang'an, he may not even have a future.

After much deliberation, Li Shimin finally decided to push out a few school captains to take the blame, and put on a gesture of vowing to investigate to the end, in order to appease the family members of those families who died unjustly and the common people, but in fact this was just his way of delaying time. .

The riot in Chang'an resulted in too many deaths and injuries, and too much involvement, so there was no way to deal with the aftermath, and it was impossible to satisfy all parties.

Can't Li Shimin punish the soldiers who participated in the massacre, as well as Li Kui, Li Chunfeng, and Li Si who ordered it?

What's more, the order of 'rather killing the wrong than letting it go' was given by himself.

However, if Li Shimin's attitude is not clear, it is likely to cause riots among the people in the city. Now that the Tang army has just been defeated and its strength has been greatly reduced, Chang'an City can no longer afford the slightest turmoil.

Li Shimin's behavior indeed comforted many people, but he couldn't fool Yang Biao, the Patriarch of the Yang family.

Yang Biao is an old political veteran, how can you not see that Li Shimin's actions are actually doing the same thing on the surface?So he came directly to the door, questioned and forced Li Shimin, and wanted Li Shimin to give him an explanation from the Yang family.

Li Shimin was full of guilt for the Yang family who had been helping him but was destroyed. He really wanted to solve the problems of the Yang family. There are various suspicious points in the Miemen case, but because the time is too short, nothing has been found out.

Li Shimin felt ashamed in his heart, he didn't dare to face Yang Biao, and he didn't know how to face Yang Biao, so he declined under the pretense of being unwell.

Yang Biao didn't even see Li Shimin's face, so he naturally refused to let it go.

Yang Biao is a person who values ​​face more than fate, but now that his wife and children have died in vain, and all his relatives have been killed, he has no life to love, and he has the will to die, so naturally he doesn't care about face.

In order to force Li Shimin to see him, Yang Biao took the young Yang Chenxiang, not only to pull a banner outside Tang Gong's mansion to redress his grievances, but also to roll around, beat drums and curse, and even prepared to commit suicide.

The idea of ​​committing suicide frightened Li Shimin. After all, if this old guy really committed suicide in front of his house, then Yang Jian would have to do the opposite if he didn't say it. That's why he met Yang Biao and Yang Chenxiang.

After meeting, Yang Biao said directly: "Is Mr. Tang afraid of meeting my grandparents?"

Li Shimin felt ashamed of the Yang family, so when facing Yang Biao's grandfather and grandson, he kept his attitude very low, but no matter how much he apologized, no matter how much he promised, Yang Biao's words made him speechless.

"How does Mr. Tang plan to seek justice for my Yang family?" Yang Biao said coldly.

How can I get justice?

How do you want to get justice?

Kill Zhang Shigui?
Zhang Shigui did not die, Yu Huatian did not kill him, but killed Yang Xiu, in order to make Li Shimin in a dilemma.

If Li Shimin killed Zhang Shigui and avenged the Yang family, then Zhang Shigui's trilogy would definitely rebel.

Since the lord will kill Zhang Shigui and seek justice for the Yang family, will he kill them too?After all, they all participated in the extermination of the Yang family.

Apart from Zhang Shigui's troops, what would the other three generals think?After all, they also have wronged souls in their hands.

The lord will seek justice for the Yang family, won't he seek justice for other families?

Therefore, even if Li Shimin cared more about the Yang family, it was impossible to attack Zhang Shigui at this time. After all, Chang'an could not withstand any turmoil now, so Yang Biao could only ask Yang Biao to give him some time to find out.

"...don't worry, old captain, I, Li Shimin, will seek justice for the Yang family."

Li Shimin patted his chest to reassure, but he didn't say anything about how to do it.

Li Shimin's perfunctory attitude made Yang Biao extremely desperate, and he said with a miserable face: "Okay, okay, the old man is blind, and the old man has to suffer on his own."

Until now, Yang Biao finally saw Li Shimin's character clearly, and there would be no result if he continued to stay.

Two grandparents, one big and one small, relying on each other, their backs are dim, it can be described as extremely desolate.

Chen Xiang, who was pulled by Yang Biao, turned her head to look at Li Shimin, and was discovered by Li Shimin.

After the eyes of the two met, Li Shimin was stunned.

Obviously a child under ten years old, just at the age of innocence, but this child's eyes are full of hatred. Obviously, the experience of family ruin made this child grow up in an instant.

"Brother Yang Jian, Shimin is ashamed of you."

As he spoke, Li Shimin couldn't help crying.

Yang Jian is one of the few friends he can make friends with, and the Yang family has helped him a lot, but now that the Yang family has been exterminated because of him, he can't even escape to justice for the Yang family.

After Chen Xiang saw the scene of Li Shimin crying, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, this hero he had admired, in his eyes at this moment was simply extremely ugly.

As soon as Yang Biao and Chen Xiang's grandfather and grandson walked away, Li Shimin fell to the ground on his back and passed out.

Li Shimin has suffered major blows one after another, but he has not yet come out completely. Not only has he had to deal with so many messes in Chang'an, but he has also been humiliated by Yang Biao's grandfather and grandson. His physical and mental conditions have reached the extreme.

It was an hour after Li Shimin woke up again.

In just one day, Li Shimin fainted three times, which made Li Tang's generals even more worried about his physical condition.

After dismissing the visiting generals, Li Shimin leaned on the bed, enjoying this moment of tranquility that belonged to him alone.

Seeing this, Ji Fa, who was standing guard for Li Shimin, hesitated for a while before saying, "My lord, if you feel exhausted physically and mentally and are unable to handle these affairs, you can hand over the affairs of Chang'an to others."

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Oh, no one can take care of me."

Li Shimin also wanted someone to help him deal with it, but Li Kui was still seriously ill, Li Chunfeng couldn't take on the big job, and Li Si didn't have time to spare, so there was no one in Chang'an who could take care of him.

When Ji Fa heard this, he said, "My lord, why don't you invite Uncle Jiang back to Chang'an, with Uncle Jiang's ability, maybe he can solve the current predicament."

Ji Fa is just talking. After all, Li Tang's current predicament cannot be solved by manpower, and he doesn't think that Jiang Shang can really do better than Li Shimin.

It can be said that those who speak have no intention, but those who hear have intentions.

Li Shimin was already physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and desperately wanted to find someone to share the burden for him, and in his opinion, Jiang Shang was the best and only candidate at present.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang is very resourceful, and he must have good ideas to help me."

Li Shimin showed excitement, as if he was holding on to a straw after drowning, and refused to let go.

"But now that Ba Ling City has been besieged by the Qin army, even if I want to recruit, how will Mr. Jiang leave Ba Ling?"

Li Shimin showed distress, and regretted it in his heart, why didn't he recall Jiang Shangge to Chang'an before the Qin army besieged the city.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Fa said, "My lord, Junior Brother Tu Xingsun is also in Baling City. He has mastered the technique of Earth Movement to a great extent. He escapes and walks like walking on flat ground. Maybe he can bring Uncle Jiang out of Baling City." Door."

Ji Fa didn't know that Tu Xingsun had rebelled, so he immediately thought that he could use Tu Xingsun's ground movement technique to bring Jiang Shang out of Baling City.

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes showed surprise, he obviously knew the difficulty of cultivating local martial arts, and he never expected that there would be someone among the younger generation who could achieve great success.

"Great, with this Tu Xingsun here, he will definitely be able to hide the truth from the Qin army and send Mr. Jiang out of Ba Ling."

After saying that, Li Shimin personally wrote a letter, and informed Li Mu through the letter sent by Feige, asking him to let Jiang Shang come to Chang'an to help.

Under the cover of night, dozens of homing pigeons flew out of Chang'an, but most of them were shot down by Bai Ma Yicong's eagle shooting team, and Li Shimin's handwriting also fell into Wang Jian's hands.

At this time, the three western armies led by Wang Jian completely disagreed with the defeat of the Tang army in Chang'an, and the whole army was filled with the joy of victory.

[-] against [-], [-] enemies killed and [-] captured.

For other princes, such a record is nothing special. After all, in terms of the combat power of the Qin army, it is not uncommon for [-] to fight [-].

But if it is Tang Jun, such a record is very powerful. After all, Tang Jun is famous for being able to fight, far from being comparable to princes like Yuan Shao and Han Fu.

But after the great victory, troubles followed.

In the battle of Haojing, although the Qin army defeated the Tang army, it also lost one-third of its troops. Only [-] troops were left, but the Tang army captured [-].

These captives must be sent back to the rear for guarding.

In addition, the wounded soldiers had to be transported to the back of the meeting for treatment, and some of Wang Jian's troops had to be taken away.

After some deployment and division of troops, Wang Jian had only [-] cavalry left in his hands, and they were still exhausted troops who had just experienced the war, obviously unable to continue fighting.

So Wang Jian gave up his plan to besiege Chang'an.

One is that the troops in his hands are too small to surround the huge city of Chang'an at all.

The second is that he is afraid that Tang Jun will come out of the city again. Even if the possibility of this is very small, but after experiencing the big gamble before, even if he wins the gamble, Wang Jian does not want to gamble again.

"How is it? Is it smooth to persuade the captured General Tang?" Wang Jian asked.

Both Ji Dan and Bismarck shook their heads.

Seeing this, Wang Jian asked in surprise, "Is there no one willing to surrender except Ma Shanwei?"

You must know that this time the Qin army captured more than 20 generals including Changsun Wuji, Xu Rong, Ma Shanwei, Xin Wenli, Kang Anyu, Kang Junli, Guo Chongtao, Shi Jingsi, and Nan Gongshi.

Ji Dan said: "Only Kang Junli and Guo Chongtao were said to surrender by us, and the rest of the generals were unwilling to surrender."

The astonishment on Wang Jian's face was even greater. He never expected that Li Tang's kingdom would soon fall, but these generals were still so loyal.

"According to my subordinates, these people just don't want to betray the name of the Lord, and their family members are all in Chang'an City. Once Chang'an is breached, they will naturally surrender." Bismarck said.

Wang Jian nodded in agreement, and then a soldier came to report.

"Among the Tang Jun's pigeons intercepted by the newspaper, Li Shimin's handwriting was found."

"Quick, the courier will come up."

"promise."

After Wang Jian took the letter, he glanced at ten lines at a glance, and laughed after reading it: "Li Shimin is already at the end of his skills, and he actually pinned his hopes on Jiang Shang, an old man. It can be seen that he has nothing to do."

"Captain, Jiang Shang still has some skills. The two generals, Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Xuanyuan, were defeated by him before. If he is allowed to return to Chang'an, there may be changes." Ji Dan said.

After Wang Jian pondered for a while, he nodded and said: "This statement is reasonable. If this is the case, then prevent Jiang Shang from returning to Chang'an."

After saying that, Wang Jian immediately wrote a handwritten letter, passing the news of the great victory in Haojing, the civil strife in Chang'an, and Li Shimin's handwritten letter to Wu Qi in Baling through flying pigeons, so that Wu Qi could find a way to prevent Jiang Shang from returning to Chang'an.

"If Inspector Wu Qi fails to stop Jiang Shang from returning to Chang'an, and if he affects the arrangements in Chang'an, Ban Chao can be asked to plan ahead as appropriate," Wang Jian said.

It has to be said that Wang Jian's work was flawless. He didn't even know if Jiang Shang would return to Chang'an. He had already made all the preparations.

Li Mu first received Fei Ge's letter from Wu Qi, but Li Shimin's letter to him did not mention the news of the defeat of Haojing and the riots in Chang'an.

After all, these two are not news, once it spreads, it will definitely affect the morale of the defenders, and Li Shimin is also afraid that Yang Jian will know the news that the Yang family was wiped out by the Tang army.

Therefore, Li Shimin's Flying Pigeon biography only asked Li Mu to send Jiang Shang to Chang'an as soon as possible.

After Li Mu read the letter, he went to find Jiang Shang overnight.

Jiang Shangzhi was so close to a demon, he could tell at a glance that something had happened to Li Shimin's side, and it was most likely that he failed to win the battle when he went out of the city, but he never thought that such a tragic tragedy would happen in Chang'an.

After listening to Jiang Shang's analysis, Li Mu suddenly turned pale with shock.

He led a partial army to fight alone and has not been defeated yet, but he never thought that the main force of the lord would be defeated before him, so what's the point of his persistence at Baling?
For a moment Li Mu was in a state of disarray, Jiang Shang took some time to comfort him, and then Li Mu recovered.

"Mr. Tang urgently summoned the old man to Chang'an, and he must entrust him with a heavy responsibility. The old man is going to Chang'an." Jiang Shang said.

"But Tu Xingsun is still injured, can you take you out of the city, sir?" Li Mu asked.

Under the joint efforts of Jiang Shang and Yang Jian to conceal it, Li Mu still doesn't know that Tu Xing has actually rebelled against Sun and has been imprisoned by the two.

Jiang Shang said: "Most of Tu Xingsun's injuries have recovered, so there should be no problem."

"That's good." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Jiang Shang said so, in fact, he was beating drums in his heart. After all, Tu Xingsun didn't have the slightest integrity. If he was really asked to take him out of the city alone, I'm afraid Tu Xingsun would directly send him to Qin Dynasty. Army camp.
