The Bad Guys: Don't call me Little Emperor Taizong

The two men took two steps at a time and came close to the man with rosacea.

"Brother, it's been a long time since we last met at Tianshi Mansion. Why are you here?"

"Isn't it my nephew? He sent me a letter a long time ago, saying that the Longquan secret treasure has been revealed and there will be competition, so I, Li Dabai, have been waiting here for a long time."

As he spoke, Li Dabai took out a tattered folding fan from his waist.

While showing off, he did not forget to wink at Zhang Zifan with a very proud expression on his face.

"Is it?"

Li Xingyun was even more surprised.

Turning around, he saw Zhang Zifan looking like he had everything under control. The folding fan that had been twisted crooked by Li Maozhen had returned to its original shape and was slowly waving in front of his chest.

"That's right. The Longquan treasure is of great importance. Neither Li Changping nor the other princes will give up. So I notified Uncle Wu to come in advance, so that we can win..."

Having said this, he looked at Li Maozhen calmly and said, "King Qi, you lose. Hand over the treasure box."

"If you want to touch King Qi, you must ask my sword first!"

Before Li Maozhen could say anything, Ji Ruxue stood in front of her with a sword in her hand.

His face remained as cold as ever, as if he didn't care about anything in front of him.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Zifan laughed.

The confident look, coupled with the folding fan slowly swaying in front of his chest, gave people the illusion that Kong Ming was still alive.

"Uncle Wu alone can stop King Qi. Do you think Miss Xue'er can deal with the rest of us?"

Having said this, he paused, after noticing a flash of struggle on Ji Ruxue's face.

Then he continued:

"Li Changping has been killing people all his life, causing great disasters. He will be abandoned by heaven and earth, and will not be tolerated by the princes. He has reached a dead end. King Qi must not insist on his own way and cause Qi to be buried with him!"

Chapter 78 Sneak Attack

I grew up in Tongwenguan.

Zhang Zifan never doubted his knowledge.

He was adept at quoting classics, reciting poems and composing essays, and was eloquent.

Especially now that he has the initiative, he is more confident that he can make King Qi side with him.

"Li Changping's death is the inevitable trend!"

"As long as I lobby the princes in the name of the Tianshi Mansion, Li Xingyun will call on the countries with the righteousness of the emperor. King Qi, do you think that Qi alone can resist the coalition of princes?"

Hear this.

Ji Ruxue's face changed, her cold eyes became silent, and the hand holding the sword gradually tightened.

Unknowingly, has Qi country become the target of public criticism?

Did the various lords really hate him to the core? In order to get rid of him, they were willing to pay tribute to Li Xingyun, whom they always looked down upon?

But at this time.

Li Dabai behind Zhang Zifan seemed a little hesitant. After thinking for a long time, he finally added in a low voice.

"Not only Qi State, but also the old capital Chang'an is now in the hands of Li Changping. Li Cunxu died in Tongguan a few days ago, and the Qi army marched eastward. Now Meng Zhixiang and my adoptive father's army have all risen up, and the three parties have become a pincer attack..."

I wanted to briefly explain the situation in the Central Plains to him.

But when Li Dabai finished speaking, Zhang Zifan's face changed instantly.

The calmness and confidence just now completely disappeared.

There were blue veins bulging on his forehead, making his face look a little hideous.

"What did you say? Li Cunxu is dead? Li Changping took Tongguan?"

"Yes!"

Seeing his look, Li Cunyi was still a little confused, and nodded, "But my dear nephew, don't worry too much. Jin and Shu are attacking from both sides. If Li Changping is left alone to fight, he will die."

"impossible!"

With a decisive wave of his hand, Zhang Zifan no longer cared about fanning himself with his folding fan.

Deep down in his heart, waves of uneasiness urged him to calm down.

Li Xingyun and Qingguo Qingcheng, who were standing by, wanted to come over to see what happened to him, but were ruthlessly pushed away.

Zhang Zifan looked at the ground angrily and said word by word:

"Bianzhou is surrounded by wolves, and he is already hostile to many princes. Even if he takes this place, he will be caught in wars on all sides and will be exhausted."

"Li Changping is not that stupid, nor is he someone who would do anything for the sake of profit, so why did he lead his troops eastward?"

Having said this, Zhang Zifan suddenly covered his head in pain.

After a long time, I suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in my mind.

"Yes! After taking Chang'an, he only has two options: go north through Jiangzhou to take Taiyuan, or go south to Hanzhong to take Xingyuan. The Jin Kingdom is strong, and there are natural barriers blocking the way, so this move will not succeed. However, the Shu Kingdom... has dispatched all its troops..."

It seemed as if he understood the whole cause and effect in an instant, and a deep fear swept through Zhang Zifan's heart.

At this time, he had no time to care about the Longquan treasure.

He turned to face Li Xingyun and said anxiously:

"The Qi army is a bait! They are marching eastward only to force the various princes to take over Li Cunxu's territory."

"Li Changping's target has never been Bianzhou. When he sent troops from Qi, he must have hidden troops. The Shu army is moving in full force, and Hanzhong is in danger!"

"We must not let him get Xingyuan Prefecture! Otherwise, with Tongguan to the east, Han River to the south, and Fengxiang to the west, we will never be able to do anything to him!"

"Follow me to the Tianshi Mansion and gather all the troops. We must rush to Xingyuan Mansion before Li Changping arrives, otherwise it will be a disaster!"

In a hurry.

Zhang Zifan blurted out everything he could think of at the fastest speed, then ran down Liangshan like a madman.

Tongguan is the key to the Three Qins and the throat of the four towns.

Different from the well-connected terrain of the Central Plains.

This place is located at the Yellow River ferry.

Mountains are connected to mountains, ridges are connected to ridges, and the narrowest places are only wide enough for one person and one horse to pass through.

Coming from Tongwenguan, how could he not understand the importance of this place?

Li Changping had already blocked the East-West Fortress by defending here.

No matter how many allied forces the princes send, it will be of no avail.

The only thing lacking is that the people's livelihood in the old capital Chang'an has declined.

But the existence of Hanzhong can completely make up for these shortcomings.

The Han River is bordered by the Bashan Mountains to the south and the Qinling Mountains to the north.

It is the place where the Han Dynasty started for 400 years, and the people of different countries only obey his orders.

Unknowingly, Li Changping had taken control of both the Pre-Qin and Yan-Han dynasties.

If we go north again and take the birthplace of the Tang Dynasty...

Advance to attack, retreat to defend.

Zhang Zifan simply couldn't believe that there was any other prince in the world who was worthy of competing with him.

Just need to rest for a few years...

The king's ambition and hegemony are right before your eyes!

At this time, who would care about the Longquan secret treasure?

How can the yellow and white things that can neither fill the stomach nor cover the body compare to the mighty trend that is sweeping the world?

No matter how much gold and silver you have, how can it compare to having enough food and clothing in troubled times?

"A bunch of idiots who only care about immediate benefits!"

Zhang Zifan couldn't help but curse.

At the same time, Li Xingyun also realized the seriousness of the problem.

The first person that came to mind was Yuan Tiangang.

If Buliangshuai were to step in, stopping Li Changping would become very easy.

But he also knew that this was not easy.

The last time I threatened Yuan Tiangang with my own life to force him to save Mobei, he was already very dissatisfied.

Even before they parted, he stopped himself from attacking Li Siyuan.

The pupils behind the cold mask.

There was no longer the look of disappointment and hope on his face as before.

Then came teasing and impatience.

He realized that the Buliangshuai's patience with him was gradually disappearing.

"I will definitely stop you!"

After taking a last deep look at Ji Ruxue, Li Xingyun didn't stop at all and followed in the direction of Zhang Zifan.

The rest of the stunning beauties followed closely behind.

They have a blood feud with Li Changping.

The words spoken outside Hulu Valley that day about annihilating all the Yelu clan are still fresh in my mind.

For Mobei, anyone can be the master of the Central Plains, except Li Changping.

"call……"

Li Maozhen waited until everyone disappeared before he slowly exhaled.

Ji Ruxue in front of him also silently retracted her sword.

What Zhang Zifan said just now seemed a bit dreamy to them.

I really thought that Qiguo was in a dilemma.

Unexpectedly, since the day he started his rebellion, Li Changping had already planned to lay the foundation for his hegemony.

He really succeeded, but he was blocking the southeast road. As long as he closed the door, the fighting outside would not affect him at all.

As for them, Chi Meng obviously couldn't think that much.

She just pouted her lips, tapped her cheek with her index finger and said, "I heard it, that damn Changping is going to Xingyuan, let's catch up..."

----

Hanzhong.

Xingyuan Prefecture.

Compared to the desolate old capital Chang'an, this place is full of prosperity.

In a pub.

However, there were three women with sad faces, each of them seemed to have their own worries, silently eating the bowls in front of them.

In front of them stood a middle-aged man who was not even as tall as the bench.

Seeing that the three women were silent, he turned his head away and said indignantly:

"I am so unlucky. I went to Luzhou to make a living, but there was a war in Luzhou. I went to Bianzhou to seek refuge, but there was a war in Bianzhou. I wanted to hide in Fengxiang, but before I could leave, the Liang army arrived first. Finally, I thought that Mobei would be fine, but as soon as I left Qi State, a shell exploded right in front of me..."

As he spoke, he became even more dissatisfied. Thinking of his life-threatening experience, he immediately started gesticulating and describing it to the three people.

"You know, that shell was as big as the sun. When it fell to the ground, only a few of the more than 100,000 people in Mobei were left. Fortunately, I was short and buried myself in the ground, which saved me from the disaster."

Having said this, he patted his chest as if in relief.
