Nine Doubts Mountain.
The advance of Li Ji's army arrived at the foot of Jiuyi Mountain, and in front of him was Mengzhu Ridge.
"The mountains here are treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Dashuai, we are very passive.
Li Daliang looked at the steep mountain and couldn't help but have a headache.
Although Mengzhu Ridge is also a fairly smooth passage among the mountains of Wuling, the terrain is too narrow.
It's not easy to get past a few thousand people.
If it is tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it will not be able to be used here at all.
It can only be a long snake formation, 100,000 horses, at least dozens of miles away.
The people in front have already passed, and the people in the back are still queuing.
However, the Protector Army has long occupied the dangerous terrain and built many fortress levels.
"According to the scouts, it seems that the rebels have set up their cannons up the hills.
We have to attack from the back, and the road is narrow, so this battle is not easy to fight. ” The other generals are also battle-hardened, as long as they come to take a look, they will know that this battle is difficult.
This kind of terrain, not to mention that there are only 20,000 strikers now, even if 100,000 come, it can't be opened.
Li Ji's face was also gloomy, worse than expected.
"Go and close the letter and ask General Zhang for an interview."
Li Jidao.
"The big marshal won't be planning to persuade Zhang Zhongjian, right?"
"It can't be."
Nine Doubts Mountain, Meng Zhu Ridge.
Zhang Zhongjian meets Li Ji's messenger.
"Hahaha, if Li Ji wants to meet and talk about anything, let's meet."
Zhang Zhongjian came to the bottom of the mountain with a team of personal soldiers.
Li Ji also only brought a small team of people to greet him.
The two looked at each other.
Long.
"If the king of the east wants to persuade someone to surrender, don't waste this tongue."
Li Ji smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Today, I asked General Zhang to come, but in fact, I just had some doubts and wanted to ask him face to face.
Excuse me, why is General Zhang willing to leave a lasting infamy for Zhang Chao, is it worth it?"
"Dongwang's words are wrong, a certain is not running for the king of Zhao, a certain is just running for the people.
King Zhao once said a sentence, I like it very much, set up a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.
Zhang was just a maritime businessman and a pariah.
However, when he met King Zhao, he was admired for his great ambition. ” "King Zhao is determined to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to create a great prosperous era and protect the eternal foundation of the Chinese Han family.
Originally, King Zhao wanted to assist His Majesty, but although His Majesty was still in his prime, he was already not ambitious. is only thinking about power, but forgetting the original intention.
He once promised King Zhao that he would lay a large territory for my Han family, but he was always suspicious of the heroes, since this was the case, then King Zhao could only assist His Royal Highness the Prince. ” Li Ji was riding on a horse, a little distracted.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations.
Did Zhang Wenyuan really say these words, and when did he say them?"
Just as King Zhao issued a letter to protect the Dharma, he said it to the students at the inauguration ceremony of the newly established Guangzhou University.
King Dong, you have also made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty, don't you want to make the Tang Dynasty immortal, don't you want to see your own hard work can be passed on This Tang Dynasty, that is, the Tang Dynasty of the Li family, but also the Tang Dynasty of our countless founding heroes, and the Tang Dynasty of those trillions of people, this is the Tang Dynasty of the Han family" Li Ji shook his head.
"Even so, there are many other ways, but why should you choose this one?
I Li Ji was a landlord in Henan, I was young and went to Wagang, I fought for many years, and I also followed many lords, Zhai Rang, Li Mi and then the first emperor and His Majesty today, I Li Ji advocates the word loyalty and righteousness. ” "As a courtier, you can't be disloyal.
Wenyuan and I are indeed friends, but loyalty and righteousness are sometimes incompatible. ” Zhang Zhongjian smiled and asked, "Does the king of Dongjun talk about loyalty, then what is loyalty, do you think what you choose is loyalty, no, that is foolish loyalty." ” Li Ji sighed.
"No matter what you say about me, I don't think there's anything wrong with loyalty.
If Zhang Chao does not approve of some of His Majesty's national policies, he can put forward his opinions.

But Zhang Chao and you are not loyal to the king.
His Majesty gave you a fief and gave you trust, Zhang Chaogui is the king of Zhao, respected as the prince, and is still the dean of the nobility.
What did Zhang Chao do, he secretly stored soldiers and horses to build ordnance.
If His Majesty hadn't found out, would Zhang Chao have to recruit more soldiers and horses, would he have to defeat Nanyang, and then counterattack the Tang Dynasty?"
"To be honest, Wen Yuan's behavior disappointed me.
He turned his back on the ideals we had fought for, and he became a rebel.
Even, he is a thief, he stole the money of the people of the Tang Dynasty. betrayed the trust of the people of the Tang Dynasty in him, and stole the money that everyone had deposited in Li Ji Qianzhuang. ” "I came here not to persuade you to surrender, nor to say anything else.
I just want to hear you admit the things you have done, and then tell you that no matter what, I will attack with my troops, capture Jiuyi Mountain, capture Mengzhu Ridge, and take Guangzhou City all the way. ” After speaking, Li Ji turned his horse and returned to the camp.
Zhang Zhongjian immediately put himself in place, and only muttered for a long time, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced, since that's the case, let's see you on the battlefield."
Li Ji returned to the camp.
Liu Hongji, Li Daliang, Zhang Liang and other generals all came to inquire.
"The big marshal persuaded Zhang Zhongjian" Li Ji took off his helmet.
"Pass the order, tomorrow the fourth watch will make food, and the fifth watch will attack.
It's a pity that this time the opponent is not Zhang Chao. ” "Marshal, do you want to wait first, the middle army and the rear army have not yet arrived, and there is not enough food and grass equipment.
We haven't even shipped artillery yet. ” "Don't wait, attack tomorrow."
Li Ji insisted, "I want to try Zhang Zhongjian's skills in person, and also take a look at the reality on the mountain." ” Guangzhou.
In the Privy Council, a group of officers and generals gathered in the war room.
The staff office will continue to send urgent telegrams one after another, and then a staff officer will adjust the deployment of the enemy and the enemy on the sand table and map in the war room.
Li Ji had already launched an attack on Zhang Weishan, and everyone wanted to know the results of the battle as soon as possible.
At this time, Li Chao returned home.
Since it was time to get off work, Zhang Chao didn't stay in the cabinet for much and went home by car.
Zhang Chao also has a house in Guangzhou City, and now there are three big characters of the Prime Minister's Office hanging on the door of this house.
"Father" As soon as Zhang Chao entered the door, Zhang Jing's five brothers all came up to greet him.
"None of you are on duty today," Zhang Chao asked.
The fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy is currently serving as a guard officer in the prince's palace.
In order to thank Zhang Chao for his support, the prince lamented that most of Zhang Chao's wives and concubines were still trapped in Beijing.
So these five brothers-in-law were also sealed.
Now Zhang Jing is the prince of the country, and Li Hui is the prince of the county, and they also hold important positions in the forbidden army of the palace.
"Rest today."
Zhang Chao was also very pleased to see his five sons becoming more and more tall and handsome.
Zhang Chao changed his clothes and came out of the shower, and his five sons had already prepared all the meals.
A table of good dishes, the boss Zhang Jing also poured good wine for Zhang Chao.
"What's wrong," Zhang Chao asked with a smile.
"Dad, you must know the situation on the front line, tell us how the battle is now."
Zhang Chao laughed, "You are so attentive today, it turns out that it is for this."
He picked up his glass and took a sip of red wine, which tasted good.
I picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a chopsticks garlic vermicelli abalone, which was also just right.
Ate a few and filled my stomach a little.
"It's a shame that a few of you are now serving as the prince's guards in the palace, and you are also officers of Qianniuwei.
Don't you even understand some military regulations, since the battle situation on the front line has not been announced, it is confidential.
Although I am your father, this secret cannot be revealed to you casually. ” Zhang Jing's face fell, "Dad, let's not talk about it." ” Zhang Chao just ate and drank the food.
"I can't tell you about the battle in Zhang Weishan yet, but I can tell you some news.
It's good news, first of all, your grandfather and righteous grandfather's allied army have successfully captured Yingzhou in western Liaoning a few days ago.
There was almost no resistance, and the officials and people of Yingzhou changed their banners, and now they are also allies of our Protector Army. ” A few little cubs said excitedly, "Grandpa is mighty" "Well, don't look at your grandfather's age, but he should be strong and strong.
Although you are young, the five of you together are no match for your grandfather, let alone fight with soldiers. ” Zhang Chao put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"There is also good news, your Grandpa Niu, Grandpa Luo, and Grandpa Shan joined forces to capture Zhangjiakou, which also shook Yanyun."
"Dad, what's the good news?"
"There is a lot of good news, for example, your Senior Brother Su and the eldest princess of Pingyang also did a big thing a few days ago, they joined forces with your Grandpa Cheng and your Aunt Qingluan to capture Lanzhou, robbed Qin Wangtai and Li Ke and Li You, and scared the people of Chang'an."
"Did Aunt Qingluan also send troops?"
"I didn't expect Xiao Eleven's mother to send troops."
Zhang Hui said.
Zhang Chao rolled his eyes at him.
Zhang Cong is the son of the eldest princess of Pingyang, and now it seems that it is no longer a secret.
Although Cui Yingying once did not allow anyone in the house to leak it, later, she still told Zhang Cong this fact in person.
Even, he asked Zhang Cong to meet Pingyang a few times.
However, Zhang Cong is still closer to Cui Yingying, and he is a little cold with Pingyang, maybe the child thinks that Pingyang has abandoned him.
"Dad, is there any news of my mother?"
asked Zhang Jing.
"Well, I was about to tell you.
Your mother, your aunt, and your younger siblings have left Hanjing in batches.
However, it is not easy to come to Guangzhou for a reunion.
It will take a lot of twists and turns, but you can rest assured, at least you have left Hanjing, and it is much safer. ” Because there were too many people, the government was investigating tightly, and in the end, Li Chao could only let Ke Qing arrange for them to go separately.
"Eat too."
Li Chao got up and left.
Back in the study, the smile on Li Chao's face disappeared.
The wives and concubines and children left Hanjing in batches, but Xiao Thirteen was exposed during the transfer and unfortunately fell into the hands of Li Shimin.
And he has already learned of the fate of Xiao Thirteen, Li Shimin robbed Li Tai and them because of Pingyang, and captured Lanzhou City, and in anger, he directly executed Xiao Thirteen publicly in Hanjing.
Now, the head of Xiao Thirteen, which is still hanging in the south gate of Hanjing, must not be restrained.
Between the monarch and the minister, there is no end to death, and there is no room for it. t1706231537:
