Vol 2 Chapter 2441: Li Jing mobilized all seven armies, and Yongzhou was on fire all over the place
Chapter 2441 Li Jing mobilized all seven armies, and Yongzhou was on fire all over the place
Chapter 2437: Li Jing mobilized all seven armies, and Yongzhou was on fire.
Ban Chao thought about it and decided to eat beef, but as he ate, his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing that there were no jailers around, Ban Chao carefully spit out a wax pill and crushed it into pieces, which contained a small note.
"finally come."
Ban Chao was overjoyed. He knew that after being imprisoned, spies in the city would definitely contact him, but he didn't expect that he would receive the contact right after he was imprisoned.
“It seems that our Da Qin spies have penetrated Chang’an much deeper than I thought.”
Ban Chao smiled lightly and muttered to himself. If he was a little worried before, he was not worried at all now.
On the surface, it seemed that he was imprisoned, but in fact he was back at Da Qin's secret base in Chang'an. There must be many people around him who were secretly protecting him.
Unless Li Shimin is determined to kill him, no one in Chang'an City can kill him.
“I never expected that the people who stood up to protect me would be Li Kui and Changsun Wuji.”
Ban Chao was still a little frightened by the scene where he was almost thrown into the frying pan before, and at the same time he was a little unbelievable that Li Kui and Changsun Wuji would protect him.
Changsun Wuji would rather die than surrender after being captured. If he was really one of his own, Ban Chao would definitely receive the news.
As for Li Kui, he is almost equivalent to Li Tang's second-in-command. If there is really a hidden tendency to favor the Qin Dynasty, then both the Tang State and Li Shimin will be dead this time.
However, Ban Chao felt that this possibility was very small. The reason why Li Kui stood up was more likely to be for the Li family and to fish out the core leader of the pro-Qin faction hiding in the dark.
“This dear friend who I still don’t know who he is, you must be careful and don’t expose yourself easily, otherwise you will die yourself, and you may even implicate me.”
Ban Chao felt secretly in his heart, and then he opened the note in his hand and saw that it read: "See you at the third watch."
After reading it, Ban Chao was secretly excited.
The identities of the four secret spies of Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang and Qin Dynasty are the top secrets of the Qin Dynasty. No one knows except Ying Hao and Jia Xu.
Now Agent Yellow No. 1 has taken the initiative to contact him and wants to meet him in prison. This shows that he is important enough to Agent Yellow No. 1.
Without thinking, Ban Chao put the note into his mouth and ate it directly into his stomach. This was the only way he could eliminate the traces.
On the other side, the first thing Li Shimin did after calming down was to prepare to send his wife, concubines, and children out of Chang'an.
Chang'an City is now a powder keg. Even Li Shimin himself cannot guarantee that everything in this city is still under his control. If his wife and children still stay in Chang'an, he will not be able to make a decision with determination.
Li Shimin's love fortune was still very prosperous, and he first took Dong Zhuo's daughter Dong as his official wife.
However, Mrs. Dong had died due to dystocia a few years ago, and then her eldest grandson Wujia came to the throne and became the new hostess of the Li family.
In addition to his eldest grandson Wugou, Li Shimin also has thirteen other wives and concubines: Li Mochou, Gu Hengbo, Liu Rushi, etc., all of whom are beauties with a charm of 95 or above.
Li Shimin also had a large number of children, with a total of six sons and four sons, namely: Li Zhi, Li Ke, Li Tai, Li Chengqian, Li Gaoyang and ten others.
Except for Li Xingyun, who is in Luoyang as a hostage, Li Shimin's nine children are all here.
Seeing the seriousness on her husband's face, Changsun Wugu knew that something must have happened, and asked anxiously: "Husband, has something happened?"
“Madam, the war between Qin and Tang Dynasty has started again. If you and your children are still in Chang’an, your husband will let go.
Now, madam, take the children with you immediately and leave Chang'an first. Your husband will arrange for some bad guys to **** you to Hanzhong. "
After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and was about to leave, but Changsun Wugou grabbed his sleeve.
Li Shimin turned around and found that his eldest grandson, Wugou, was looking at him with tears in his eyes. The eyes of his other wives, concubines, and children also had expressions of concern and reluctance.
“Husband, won’t you come with us?”
Changsun Wugou asked. She was very uneasy. She had a premonition that she would never see her husband again once they were separated, so she hoped that Li Shimin could go with them.
Li Shimin was silent for a while and then said: "There are still 100,000 Tang troops in Guanzhong. As the king of Tang, how can I leave them?"
"But…"
"There is no such thing as madam. I promise you that I will return to Hanzhong to reunite with you. If I, Li Shimin, don't want to die, no one in the world can kill me."
This is not Li Shimin's boasting about Haikou. He not only has two peerless generals, Li Yuanba and Yang Jian, but also two great masters, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng broke through and became a grand master two months ago, and Li Tang has two grand masters directly under his jurisdiction.
Apart from Ying Qin, only Li Tang could directly command the two great masters.
Therefore, even if Chang'an really cannot be defended, if Li Shimin wants to run away, with the protection of these people, he can just find a mountain in the Qinling Mountains to hide in. Even the Great Qin Dynasty cannot possibly dig through the Qinling Mountains and then give Li Shimin to him. find out.
Li Jing captured the four passes and blocked Guanzhong. He said that he had completely blocked Guanzhong, but if he really wanted to get out, there were other ways, such as Ziwu Valley.
It’s just that these mountain and forest trails are undeveloped and rugged, making them inaccessible to large armies and most people.
Li Shimin and a few other elites, if they want to leave, the mountains and rivers and the favorable geographical location will definitely not be able to stop them. After hearing what Li Shimin said, Changsun Wugao reluctantly let go of his hand and could only watch his husband leave. After all, this man still had his own responsibilities.
After Li Shimin left, he immediately recruited Yuan Tiangang.
Looking at Yuan Tiangang who was kneeling below, Li Shimin said: "Yuan Tiangang, I will entrust my child to you."
Yuan Tiangang's face was full of emotion. He had no idea that Li Shimin would entrust the young master to him. He said solemnly: "My lord, as long as I am still breathing, I will **** the ladies and young masters to Longxi safely." ”
Li Shimin was secretly relieved when he heard this.
The Ziwu Valley is not easy to walk. When he was the governor of Hanzhong, he had walked that mountain road himself and knew how difficult it was to walk.
Without the protection of bad people like Yuan Tiangang, and with only the eldest grandson Wugou and other female family members, except for Li Mochou who knew martial arts, no one else would be able to leave Ziwu Valley even if they died.
When Yang Jian was in power, Li Shimin also considered using the Ziwu Valley to launch a surprise attack on Chang'an. However, the Ziwu Valley was too difficult to get through and the implementation of this strategy was too difficult. In addition, Yang Jian was not unprepared at the time. He placed a thousand guards in the Ziwu Valley. Once discovered, it would be like seeking death, so the plan was abandoned.
Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.
Li Shimin stood in front of the palace gate, overlooking the prosperous Chang'an City, but he had a vague feeling that this majestic city would no longer belong to him.
After the fall of Sanguan, he could clearly feel that his control over Chang'an was gradually weakening, and a large number of demons and monsters emerged, and even he could hardly suppress it.
“Time, fate.”
Li Shimin sighed, his heart full of unwillingness and aggrievedness, and he obviously still didn't want to accept his fate.
“My lord, Li Si, Li Kui, and Changsun Wuji are all here.”
“Let them come.”
)
After Changsun Wuji, Li Kui and Li Si arrived, they saw Li Shimin sitting alone on the steps. They looked at each other and said in unison: "See you, my lord."
"do it."
Li Shimin swept the steps beside him with his sleeves.
When Li Si, Li Kui, and Changsun Wuji saw this, they all took the initiative to come to Li Shimin's side.
"Three gentlemen, you are right, Ban Chao cannot be killed. What happened during the day was an act of impulsiveness."
“If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good. Your Lord is truly a wise Lord.”
Li Si smiled and flattered him, that's called a proficiency.
Changsun Wuji and Li Kui also looked pleased.
“Three beloved ministers, Ban Chao cannot kill them, but peace talks are not advisable. This time Da Qin is determined to capture Guanzhong, and will not give up until Chang’an is captured.
. "
Li Shimin's eyes flashed coldly, and his tone was full of determination. He could already foresee that after this battle, Li Tang would completely lose the chance to become a powerful country.
“My lord, relying on the strength of the Tang Dynasty alone to fight against the Qin Dynasty is like using a mantis as a chariot. I think we should ask for help from the three kingdoms of Shu, Chu and Sui. They will not let Qin occupy Guanzhong.”
Li Sijin said that he did not mention the four countries of Wei, Song, Wu and Ming because everyone present knew that it was impossible for these four countries to aid Li Tang.
Hearing Li Si's words, Li Shimin's eyes became much softer when he looked at him.
“That said, even if all countries are willing to send troops, it will still take time, at least a month, and the Qin army will not wait.
Li Jing's army will soon be at Chang'an City. How are we going to survive this month? "
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, a soldier hurried over and reported:
“Report to my lord, Li Jing led seven armies to attack Chang’an.”
"What?"
Li Shimin, Li Kui, Changsun Wuji, including Li Si, all screamed in surprise, obviously they did not expect that Li Jing would divide his troops into seven groups to attack at the same time.
“What are the seven roads?” Li Shimin asked quickly.
“On the first route, Wu Qi, the governor of Yongzhou, led an army of ten thousand and came from the direction of Lantian.
On the second route, Wang Jian, the deputy governor of Yongzhou, led an army of 10,000 people and came from the direction of Qian County.
On the third route, Sima Cuo, the commander-in-chief of Tongguan, led an army of 10,000 people and came from the direction of Tongguan to kill;
On the fourth route, Gongsun Yan, the commander-in-chief of Xiaoguan, led an army of 10,000 people and came from the direction of Xiaoguan;
On the fifth route, the rebel general Fu Cunshen led an army of 10,000 people and came from the direction of Yaoguan to kill;
On the sixth route, Gongsun Xuanyuan, the Marquis of Yan of the Great Qin Dynasty, led an army of 10,000 and came from the direction of Sanguan to kill.
On the seventh route, Li Jing, the governor of Yongzhou, led an army of 100,000 people and came from the direction of Sizhou. "
