Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Li Yuan didn't even know how many times his face had changed tonight. He was famously honest in the former Sui Dynasty, but in the end he was able to rise up an army and proclaim himself emperor, so the adjective honest is inappropriate, it should be " Gou".

Accustomed to Gou, he would always consider the worst-case scenario, and Li Yuan's brainwaves soon matched Li Shimin's.

"Erlang." Li Yuan's voice was hoarse, "Will there be an ambush to intercept and kill the messenger?"

Li Shimin expressed his affirmative attitude with silence, which is logical. Whether it is the prince or the king of Qi, whether it is Yu Wenying or Yang Wengan, once they rebel, if they can't break through the Renzhi Palace, they have to consider military affairs. From a perspective, it is the Jingzhao reinforcements who are close at hand.

Ling Jing thought in his heart, he heard from Fan Shiyi that Huairen had arranged a sentry at Juyuan Bridge, if someone intercepted and killed the messenger, Huairen should be on his way to Renzhi Palace by this time.

After a long silence, Li Shimin said in a decisive tone: "Father, tomorrow I will stick to the Renzhi Palace, or I may abandon the Taniguchi."

"Abandon the valley entrance?" Yang Gongren couldn't help interrupting: "Once the rebels enter the valley, it will be over!"

"Not necessarily." Su Dingfang said in a rare continuous manner today, "Demolish the house and build it with red bricks. The front and back are scattered, and they can even be piled up into a low-rise city wall to protect the Renzhi Palace."

Li Shimin glanced at Su Dingfang, nodded and said, "At the end of the battle in Jingzhou last year, my uncle used this to defeat the Turkic counterattack."

"Speaking of which, it's still Huairen's backhand." Chai Shao sighed, "If it wasn't for Qi Sanlang, I'm afraid it would be difficult to defend this morning."

Several generals nodded and said yes, the red bricks at Taniguchi were originally ordered by Li Shan to be reserved for the soldiers, but during this period of time the weather was too hot, several soldiers suffered from heat stroke, and there was not enough food and grass, the soldiers wanted to camp even more , so Chai Shao stopped, so that a large number of red bricks were piled up near the mouth of the valley.

At that time, the rebels first attacked the forbidden army outside the valley, and then took advantage of the situation to attack the valley mouth. Chai Shao was almost unable to resist. Launched a counterattack, so that the rebels failed to break through the Phoenix Valley in one go.

Li Yuan sighed in a sour tone: "Can Huairen really come?"

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Shan will most likely rush to rescue him, but if there is no imperial edict... Maybe he will die and he is still with his pregnant wife. Ten personal guards will not help the overall situation.

But Ling Jing thought in his heart, Huairen would definitely come, he knew the start time was July [-]th, how could he not come?

If there was no ambush to intercept and kill the messenger, then Li Shan came to rescue him justifiably. If there was an ambush, Li Shan would have ample excuses... In the end, Li Shan chose to run away that day, just to find a suitable excuse to show up.

Li Shimin didn't answer this question, but instead said: "There is a small path behind the Cuiwei Hall, and you can go out of Yuhua Mountain in about [-] miles. If Huairen doesn't come tomorrow, after the child leads the army, I ask my father to refrain from it and walk along the path..."

"Erlang!" Li Yuan interrupted his son's words in pain, such a small way, his concubine, the young prince... That means the rebellion this time must be the clan, and there will be no such thing as a concubine being abducted and pregnant. up.

Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren and other important ministers were speechless, and they all figured out why King Qin had no confidence in sticking to the Phoenix Valley before.

Li Shimin's expression was also quite haggard. The battle of Tiantai Mountain last year was the turning point for him to seize the throne, but Tiance Mansion lost at least [-]% of its glory. How many people will die in the Phoenix Valley this time?
Who is the mastermind?

Is it the prince, or Pei Shiju, or the seemingly impossible Sanhu?

After sending Li Yuan and the others back, Li Shimin was still thinking about this problem, and said to Ling Jing with a wry smile: "Now we can only count on Huairen, that path..."

Ling Jing swallowed his saliva, he also thought about this question, Renzhi Palace was built under the auspices of King Qi, doesn't King Qi know about that trail?

Although Li Shan and Li Shimin had sent people to investigate before, there was nothing unusual, but at this time... Will King Qi send his henchmen to guard this path to prevent Li Yuan and Li Shimin from getting out of their shells?

Therefore, Li Shan is the only hope.

"If the divine soldiers can descend from the sky like last year, then..."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin couldn't go on talking, maybe he can still be canonized as a prince.

Ling Jing didn't answer the question, and Changsun Wuji whispered, "From Phoenix Valley to Jingzhao, as long as you pass Jushui, it's very difficult to be intercepted...After all, there are many messengers, and they all carry two horses."

Du Ruhui retorted impatiently: "Today's chaos can never be a coincidence. It will definitely cut off the connection between Jingzhao and Fangzhou. It should be the one in Jushui..."

"Juyuan Bridge." Ling Jing reminded.

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said: "If there is an incident in the East Palace, an ambush should be laid at Juyuan Bridge. If it is King Qi, remember that the messenger set off at the same time as Yu Wenying."

"It's unlikely to be the prince." Ling Jing shook his head, turned to look at Li Shimin, "Your Highness, I want to meet Wei Xuancheng."

A quarter of an hour later, in the side hall of Cuiwei Hall, Ling Jing walked slowly with a candle in his hand, bent down and looked at the rather embarrassed Wei Zheng.

"Ling Gong." Wei Zheng is still a little confused now. He was tied up and thrown here without knowing anything. "What happened?"

Ling Jing put the candle on the case, and said slowly: "Fangzhou Inspector Yang Wengan conspired to rebel and led more than a thousand rebels to attack Phoenix Valley. After a fierce battle for a day, the war will not stop."

"What?" Wei Zheng's eyes widened, "How is it possible?"

"how is this possible?!"

"It's definitely not His Royal Highness!"

"Is it meaningful to say these things?" Ling Jing shook his head and said, "Yang Wenqian is the crown prince's confidant. The evidence for this rebellion is conclusive. The sage saw it with his own eyes."

Seeing Wei Zheng standing there stunned, Ling Jing looked at him carefully for a while, "Did Xuan Cheng take the initiative to come to the Palace of Renzhi to express his feelings for the prince?"

Wei Zheng came to his senses, but avoided talking about it, "How many soldiers does Yang Wengan have, how dare he raise an army to seek rebellion?"

"More than a thousand soldiers and horses, complete with weapons and armor, brave and fearless, they are truly elite."

"Can King Qin defeat him?"

"I don't know." Ling Jing gave a very honest answer, and then said: "But if the rebels break through the Phoenix Valley, I'm afraid Xuan Cheng will not be able to escape."

Wei Zheng didn't refute, if it was the prince who rebelled, he could only say that he was the one who was abandoned, and being sent to the Palace of Renzhi was simply a way to slow down the army... But after thinking about it, Wei Zheng felt that it was impossible.

I am one of the Eastern Palace's aides, not very experienced, but I am the one who most strongly recommends killing the King of Qin... If the prince wants to use the strategy of delaying the army, there is no need to send himself here.

Moreover, I arrived at Renzhi Palace at noon yesterday, and the rebels had already attacked Renzhi Palace this morning. From the perspective of time, there was actually no need to delay the attack.
