A month later, Chang'an City received an urgent military report of 800 miles."
His Royal Highness the Prince, the big thing is not good, King Wu's army rebelled from Jiangnan, and now it has been killed to Luoyang and is approaching Chang'an!"
What??
Li Chengqian was shocked, this is impossible, the third brother Li Ke rebelled?"
Bastard, how could King Wu raise an army to rebel?
Gong took it to the lonely king to see, if there is a lie about the military situation, he will be killed immediately!
”Li Chengqian scolded the person who sent the letter.After taking the gong and looking at it carefully, Li Chengqian frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
Why isn't it the prince of Henan Province Shaoyin?
”"Your Royal Highness, Shaoyin was killed by the rebels, this is the report written by the officials of the Yamen of Henan Province when they are in danger, I am afraid that at this time, Luoyang has been occupied by the thieves."
The messenger began to cry.Outrageous?
Li Chengqian was furious and threw his gong on the table, "Come on, take him down for treatment, take care of him first and then let him go."
Please come here as soon as possible.By the way, there are also cuckoos, too. ”Not long after, Li Ji and Du Shaoqing both rushed over, and after looking at the expedited public, Du Shaoqing asserted that there was something strange, and he would not believe that Li Ke had rebelled at this time.But Li Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of War, didn't see it that way, "Now Datang is a time of crisis, the internal air defense is weak, and everything can happen, not just guess."
The old minister thought that the first thing was to strengthen the city defense just in case, and at the same time immediately sent capable scouts to Luoyang to inquire about the news. ”Du Shaoqing retorted: "Li Ke can't rebel.This matter must be a conspiracy, I want to meet the herald, maybe it is a trap set by the five surnames and Qiwang, who wants to lure us out of Chang'an.Take 10,000 steps back, even if Li Ke really raised troops, it would be impossible for him to come to Chang'an, at most he would be the king of Qinqin, you must know that there is his father and mother in Chang'an City, he can't ignore his father's life or death, right?
”Li Ji was silent.Li Chengqian nodded and said: "What my brother-in-law said makes sense, according to what we know about the third brother, he will not rebel, and I also think there is something strange."
I've already let the herald look at it, Huaiying, and you take your brother-in-law to inquire about the man. ”Let his follower Di Renjie lead Du Shaoqing to investigate the herald, Li Chengqian turned to Li Ji and said: "Now Chang'an is unable to send troops to the outside world, before the truth is obtained, I also asked Li Shangshu to guard Chang'an City, my father has pacified the Taiyuan Wang clan, and there can be no accident in Chang'an at this time." ”"The old minister obeys the order, what about Luoyang?""
According to your wishes, send scouts to investigate, whether there is a third brother who wades into this troubled water, something must have happened in Luoyang, otherwise this letter should be sent by Henan Shaoyin."
Li Ji was ordered to retreat, and Li Chengqian also followed to see how Du Shaoqing questioned the messenger who reported the news.Along the way, Du Shaoqing was asking his apprentice Di Renjie about the situation."
Do you think this is reasonable?"
Di Renjie frowned and said: "Unreasonable, Jiangnan Province is far away from Chang'an, His Royal Highness King Wu should not have received the news of the crown prince's imprisonment, if he took advantage of the chaos to rebel, it would be a counterattack on Your Majesty, not only can the righteousness not stand, but also the strength is not good, just rely on the navy that he has been training for two or three years?"
Those with a bit of brains know that it is impossible to succeed.What's more, His Royal Highness King Wu has outstanding abilities, so he will not be so confused. ”"Well, you think the same as I think, this matter, maybe like last time, someone planted it."
Du Shaoqing groaned, "I'm afraid you'll have to show your stunts when you interrogate the prisoner later, and it's impossible to torture an eight-hundred-mile messenger." ”Di Renjie hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Master, if it is said, I mean if, what if the messenger's report is true?"
So what to do?
”"There can't be this if!"
Du Shaoqing asserted.Di Renjie grabbed the master and persuaded him: "It is a matter of the throne, no one dares to assert that a person's humanity can control greed, you can't be careless." ”Du Shaoqing frowned, was silent for a while, and said in a cold voice: "If it is really this if, Li Ke wants to kill his father and brother to usurp power and seize the throne, then he is looking for death!"
”After finishing speaking, he strode forward, no longer verbose, Di Renjie hurriedly followed.In the forbidden army barracks in the side courtyard of the Taiji Palace, the soldier who reported the news was eating and drinking, which was the treatment of 800 miles of urgency, and those who could report the news day and night were basically exhausted when they ran to Chang'an.Many of the eight hundred miles rush before they finished speaking, they fainted with all their strength, and there were even some who choked after delivering the letter, so this errand is an absolute honor, and the treatment is extremely generous."
How many soldiers and horses did King Wu Li Ke come?"
A voice suddenly sounded at the door of the barracks, and the man subconsciously replied: "30,000 elites!"
”"Have you ever seen King Wu himself?""
Huh?
Who are you?
”The man finally turned around and realized that it was not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he stopped asking questions.Di Renjie next to him stood up and said: "This is the young master of the prince, Du Yuma, who came to check the information of Luoyang with you on the order of the prince, and asked you what you can't hide." ”"Huh?
Du, Du Pony?
”The man seemed to be a little afraid of Du Shaoqing, and was very surprised.This scene made Du Shaoqing even more suspicious, if it was his own person, there was no reason to be so afraid, after all, he had a good reputation among the soldiers and the people, and most of the people who could be afraid of his name were enemies.Du Shaoqing smiled, "Forget it, don't waste time, Huaiying, you ask him for me, see who he is, whose orders he came to, and what is the situation in Luoyang." ”The herald wondered in his heart, how lazy is this surnamed Du, and he has to do it for others when he asks a question?
Di Renjie stepped forward slowly and smiled at the other party, the herald's face was a little unnatural and wanted to laugh with him, but the moment he made eye contact with Di Renjie, it was as if he had fallen into boundless chaos, and the whole person was stunned."
Who are you?
Where did it come from?
Who is under orders, and what is the situation in Luoyang?
Is it really Wu King Li Ke's plot to rebel and seize the city?
”Di Renjie asked.The man didn't even hesitate, and replied directly: "I am the leader of the Luoyang Guarding City Army, born in the Zheng clan of Xingyang, and obey the orders of the patriarch of the family. ”What???
Xingyang Zheng's?
Wow, it's really greasy!
Du Shaoqing and Di Renjie glanced at each other.At this time, Li Chengqian also chased after him, just saw this scene, and just wanted to have a seizure, but was stopped by Du Shaoqing, and then watched the show."
Luoyang has been taken by us, Henan Shaoyin wanted to pass the message and was killed by us, but I didn't expect that in less than three days, the Jiangnan army of Wu King Li Ke actually killed from the southeast, we were defeated, and they recaptured Luoyang City.The patriarch ordered me to send a fake message of 800 li to the imperial court urgently, so that they could send a large army to fight the king of Wu dog bite dog, so that we could take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit" Before the man finished speaking, the angry Li Chengqian kicked it: "What a dog thief, the end is vicious!"
”Hey, hey, I haven't finished asking yet, Du Shaoqing can't pull it.The man had already been kicked awake, and he watched the prince kick himself with a confused face, who am I?
Where am I?

Didn't you invite me to dinner?"
Master, do you want me?"
Di Renjie asked."
No, everything that should be known is already known, if this guy dares to quibble, he will be sent to the prison to be punished!"
Du Shaoqing didn't want to publicize the details of Di Renjie's hypnotic questioning.Li Chengqian, who calmed down, asked, "Brother-in-law, what now?"
This guy's family information, Luoyang's matter?
”"We were caught off guard by them and Luoyang, which was indeed a big loss, but fortunately, Jiangnan Province supported and recaptured it.It can be regarded as a thrill or not, let's wait and see what happens, King Wu sent troops from Jiangnan to King Qin, since he arrived in Luoyang, he must come to Chang'an. ”Du Shaoqing comforted.Sure enough, the next day, a cavalry came down from Chang'an City, and the banner was Yunlu General Du."
The governor of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, General Yunlu, and Ma Duhe, on the orders of His Royal Highness King Wu, want to enter the palace to see Your Majesty, and open the door quickly!""
General Du is afraid that he doesn't know, His Majesty is personally outside, and now Chang'an City is the prince's prison country.Someone, open the city gate and let General Du in. ”The gatekeeper was very polite to Duhe.Not because Du He is a member of the Du family, but because Du He once commanded the battle to destroy the country, and he was also a general, which is admiration for the strong.Du He met Li Chengqian and Du Shaoqing in the Yizheng Palace, and when asked why Li Ke did not come to visit in person, Du He explained: "His Royal Highness King Wu stayed in Jiangnan to sit in the town, and let me and Senior Brother Su bring 30,000 elites back to support."
It's not that he wasn't in a hurry, but because he had an accident last time, and he was afraid that this time a prince would lead the troops to the interior without an edict, which would cause unnecessary trouble" Li Chengqian said with relief: "The third brother is obviously overhearted, and my brother-in-law and I have always believed in his character." ”Du Shaoqing explained: "Li Ke's words are not for us, he doesn't know that His Majesty is driving in person, so he guards the duty of a minister."
It was also the last incident that scared him, and he couldn't be cautious, so you see, he sent Qinglian and General Su, and the court knew what it meant at a glance. ”"Hey, they are all their own brothers, so the third brother really shouldn't be so worried, when he comes back in the next year, I'll talk about him well."
Li Chengqian said with a smile.Du He asked: "We took Luoyang and found that it was the mastermind behind the Zheng clan in Xingyang, so we put down their rebellion by the way, and I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for instructions on what to do next." ”"Okay Qinglian, you are also my brother-in-law, we don't have to be restrained in this relationship, sit down and discuss it carefully.Your 30,000 troops are definitely timely rain, otherwise the imperial court can only stick to Chang'an in the face of this rebellion, which is really aggrieved. ”The three of them set the direction of attack in the main hall, since the emperor went north to take the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Boling Cui clan, and the Longxi Li clan, then Du He's 30,000 army started from Luoyang and went northeast to take the Li clan of Zhaojun and the Lu clan of Fanyang.Coupled with the Xingyang Zheng clan that has been taken, the five surnames and seven wangs are all together, and the remaining Qinghe Cui clan has long been submitted to the imperial court and has not participated in this rebellion.Just when Du He set off again, Emperor Li Er had already turned around from the Taiyuan Wang clan to attack the Li clan in Longxi.Before he could reach the boundary of the Li clan in Longxi, he met a group of people on the way, and almost had a misunderstanding with the Xuanjia Army."
Your Majesty, there are people blocking the road ahead, there are about more than 10,000 people, it seems that the people who come are not good, please dismount and take shelter for a while."
Li Junxian, the deputy general of the Xuanjia Army, came to report.Li Er said in a deep voice: "What's the origin?
We haven't arrived at the Li Clan's territory in Longxi yet, could it be that they set up an ambush in advance?
”"I don't know, General Zhang went to investigate, and seeing that the other party's clothes seem to be in the style of Hu people, it's not good to say that he is a Hu person."
Li Junxian frowned."
Who?
Hu people?
Where did the Hu army come from in the Tang Dynasty?
”Li Er accentuated his tone."
Perhaps, perhaps, it was caused by someone colluding inside and outside," Li Junxian worried."
Bastard!
If that were the case, it would be a shame for these people to die.Go, tell Zhang Shigui, ask clearly whether it is an enemy or a friend, if it is an enemy, don't hide it, just rush to the past, I want to see the head of the enemy's main general!
”Li Er ordered sharply."
Order!"
Zhang Shigui, who was at the head of the queue, was also constantly analyzing, the group of people in front of him should be said to be Saiwaihu people, but not all, they were also mixed with Tang people, but these Tang people were dark and short, and their clothes were also half Tang and half Hu, what was going on?"
Who's in the way?
Get your name in!
”Zhang Shigui shouted loudly.Someone on the other side responded and asked, "Is it the Tang Xuanjia Army in front?"
”Zhang Shigui stretched out his hand to put his subordinates on guard, and then replied loudly: "Exactly, Zhang Shigui, the commander of my Xuanjia Army, where did you come from?"
”At this time, the crowd on the opposite side parted, and a carriage slowly walked out.What's going on?
Zhang Shigui said that he couldn't understand, the two armies were facing each other, you don't ride a horse, you sit in a carriage?
Walk relatives?
After a while, a thin, dark-skinned, sickly young man came out of the carriage and was helped up."
General Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, but do you still recognize the kid Li Su?
Cough, cough" coughed violently without saying a word.Who?
Li Su?"
You, are you His Royal Highness the King of Shu?
Your Highness, why are you here?
Still with more than 10,000 troops?
”Zhang Shigui exclaimed, he was a little nervous, he didn't dare to relax his guard, and even quietly gestured to his subordinates to report to the emperor.After calming down his breath, Li Su said: "I was originally building a road in Shuzhong, and I heard that the Central Plains was full of wars, and some rebels were in chaos, and they were afraid that something would happen to Chang'an, so I gathered a group of subordinates to rush to support.Along the way, I heard that my father and the emperor drove the expedition in person, and I specially waited here, I don't know" "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, the situation is unpredictable, so please forgive me, please retreat your troops thirty miles, if you want to see Your Majesty, the last general will lead you alone." ”Zhang Shigui explained.Oh, withdraw thirty miles?"
Ahem, I was negligent, and I forgot the etiquette in a hurry, thank you General Zhang for reminding me.Come, let everyone retreat thirty miles back and camp and wait, and this king will go to meet his father. ”Li Su ordered."
No need, I can trust Xiaoliu."
A neutral voice came from inside the Xuanjia Army, and Li Er rode over with his personal guards."

Father, my son, Li Su, see you!"
Li Su pushed away the person who was supporting him, and hurriedly bowed down.Li Er turned over and dismounted, and when he saw his skinny son with a sickly face, he exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Little Liu, what's wrong with you?"
What are you running around like this?
Don't die!
