Turbulent Times Chapter 1646: Li Shimin who feels wronged

"Shimin, the situation in Chang'an is not good!" In Hanzhong County, in Zhu Can's palace, Changsun Wuji held the latest information and said worriedly to Li Shimin, who had an equally heavy expression.

After Li Shimin received the information and read it, his face changed several times, and finally he said helplessly: "When people shot Yuan Ji, I already expected what my father and those old guys would think."

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice: "Shimin, I suspect that from the time when Yuan Ji commanded troops to support us, when Hou Junji was killed, when Yuan Ji foolishly led troops to attack Wagang Camp at night, and finally was forced to go to the Hanzhong city , we were forced to shoot Yuanji because of the situation, the whole thing itself is a big conspiracy."

Li Shimin's expression sank when he heard the words, his eyes flickered, and he said: "So, these days, there is a force in Chang'an City who wantonly spread rumors about my order to shoot Yuanji and smear me. Weaken my prestige among civil and military officials?"

"I'm afraid their purpose is more than that." Changsun Wuji hesitated for a while, and then said: "Shimin, could it be the son of the world..."

Li Shimin pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "My elder brother may have this idea, but he doesn't have the means to make such a big plan."

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, and said, "Perhaps there are some experts around you to give advice."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not just someone who is giving advice, but someone secretly controlling him."

Changsun Wuji was stunned for a moment, his face changed, and he lost his voice: "Shimin means that the son may have been controlled by Wang Junlin?"

Li Shimin nodded with a heavy expression and said: "Wang Junlin has a lot of capable people, especially Xuanba's master. During the two months before and after the elder brother was captured by Wang Junlin, with the other party's means, Enough to get a lot done.”

Changsun Wuji's expression became more and more serious: "Speaking of Xuan Ba's master, our spies have confirmed one thing recently, and you may not believe it when you tell it."

Li Shimin asked curiously: "What makes you think I won't believe it?"

Changsun Wuji sighed and said: "The woman named Nie Xiaoyu is Wang Junlin's junior sister. Let alone her beautiful appearance, without any blemishes, it is a miracle in the world. Even if she is younger than Wang Junlin, she is at least younger than Wang Junlin now. She must be about 30 years old! But in fact, according to the information we have obtained, this woman looks only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and even the appearance of this woman has not changed at all since she was born more than ten years ago. It is really unbelievable.”

Li Shimin's complexion changed. This is the first time he has heard of this matter. In fact, because Nie Xiaoyu is usually on Snake Island, even when he leaves the island, it is easy to understand, and sometimes he wears a veil or a bamboo hat. One point, it's not easy.

Moreover, Li Shimin suddenly remembered the mysterious man who came to the door suddenly last year and expressed his willingness to help him. As far as he knew, the other party was the master of the legendary Hidden Killing Sect. He was known as the King of Killers, but this man seemed He is also seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is equally handsome and inhuman.

But considering the other party's identity and strength, how could this person be only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"The Killer King and Nie Xiaoyu are probably the same kind of people, but they don't know what secrets are hidden in them, and what is the relationship between them and Wang Junlin?" Li Shimin suddenly had a certain understanding, "Maybe find out Among them

The secret of Wang Junlin can be found, so as to defeat Wang Junlin. "

"Shimin, what should we do now? Chang'an has more and more opinions on you. The possibility of sending reinforcements in the future is too small. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to hold on to Hanzhong City." Changsun Wuji After saying this, he let out a long sigh.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "That's right, we can't hold on any longer, and if it drags on for a long time, the morale of the army will be shaken, the morale will continue to weaken, and the strength of the troops will also be depleted. If you want to leave, you will be unable to leave."

After a pause, Li Shimin continued: "So, right now, we need to plan carefully how to break through and withdraw smoothly."

Changsun Wuji didn't seem to be worried at all that Li Shimin would be trapped in Hanzhong City, but cared: "Shimin, what will you do when you return to Chang'an City?"

There was a flash of murderous intent in the depths of Li Shimin's eyes, and he said: "The specifics of how to do it will not be decided until we return to Chang'an City. In the city, some people may only survive if they die, and the existence of some powerful families will only become a serious problem for us, but even if I want to kill in Chang'an City, I must return with a big victory, otherwise the Too many variables."

………

"The lord has made so many arrangements in Chang'an City, just waiting for Li Shimin to return to Chang'an, and then slaughter and destroy the Great Wall himself, but the problem is that Hanzhong City is surrounded by us, I don't believe he can Run away." Outside the city of Hanzhong, in the camp of the Far Eastern Army, Cheng Yaojin held the latest information from the Military Intelligence Office and discussed with Shen Guang and Xu Shiji.

Xu Shiji did not answer Cheng Yaojin's question, but looked at Shen Guang and asked, "Master Shen, do you have any instructions from the prince? After all, we killed Li Shimin, but it will ruin the follow-up of the prince in Chang'an City." Planned."

Shen Guang said with a smile: "The prince said that he had expected you to ask such a question, so there was indeed an oral order."

Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other curiously, and asked, "What did the lord say?"

Shen Guangdao: "My lord said that it would be better if you could kill Li Shimin in Hanzhong, but I'm afraid you won't be able to."

Xu Shiji and Cheng Yaojin showed dissatisfaction immediately on their faces, the former gritted his teeth and said, "Although I know the prince values ​​Li Shimin very much, I didn't expect it to be so high."

Cheng Yaojin is full of fighting spirit, said: "Since this is the case, the military achievements of killing Li Shimin and the weight in the heart of the prince may be very great, no less than the land of Sichuan and Shu!"

………

………

Hanzhong City, in Zhu Wang's Mansion, Li Shimin's right hand tapped on the table next to him lightly, his eyes were full of thought, hesitation and unwillingness were evident on his face.

I don't know how long it took, a flash of determination flashed in Li Shimin's eyes, he stretched out his hand, picked up the teacup on the table on the right side, and took a sip of herbal tea.

Tea is bad tea, the kind of low-quality tea that the lowest-ranking officers and even ordinary soldiers often drink. out of place.

In fact, not only tea and drinks are the same as ordinary soldiers, Li Shimin also eats meals with ordinary soldiers on weekdays.

He has maintained this habit

After four full years, he truly shared joys and sorrows with the soldiers.

Of course, relying on this point alone, it is not enough to make the soldiers under his command work hard for him, but the effect is very good when supplemented with other means. At least even after losing the battle, Li Shimin's prestige in the hearts of ordinary soldiers is still extremely high.

At least, no one would question his orders and decisions, whether on the battlefield or in peacetime.

"Come on, go and call Duan Zhixuan over." Li Shimin took a slight breath and ordered lightly.

A soldier outside the door agreed and ran away immediately.

Duan Zhixuan was originally captured by Cheng Yaojin, but Li Shimin exchanged Xie Yingdeng, who was captured alive, with Xu Shiji some time ago, and brought Duan Zhixuan back.

After Duan Zhixuan came back, Li Shimin did not criticize or scold Duan Zhixuan. Instead, he apologized, saying that he was captured because of his poor planning, and he still let him lead the army, which can be said to be extremely trustworthy.

Duan Zhixuan was naturally very moved, and only wanted to die for Li Shimin.

"My lord, the humble Duan Zhixuan is here to see you." Duan Zhixuan came very quickly, apparently without any delay, and was even waiting for Li Shimin's call at any time.

"Come in!" Li Shimin suppressed the last trace of hesitation and said softly.

Duan Zhixuan immediately opened the door and walked in. He respectfully saluted Li Shimin and said, "My lord."

Li Shimin nodded, pointed to the chair on the right, and said, "Find a place for yourself to sit!"

"Thank you, my lord." Duan Zhixuan was not polite, he saluted respectfully again, and then sat down.

After Duan Zhixuan sat down, Li Shimin asked, "Is there any change in the siege of the Wagang camp outside the city?"

Duan Zhixuan replied: "My son, the Wagang camp is attacking the city as usual, and there is no abnormal reaction."

Li Shimin's fingers began to tap on the table next to him again, and after a while he said with a smile: "Xu Shiji is also a very confident or conceited person."

"My lord, what do you mean, Xu Shiji thinks he will be able to trap you to death in Hanzhong City?" Duan Zhixuan asked seriously.

"It's normal for Xu Shiji to think like this. After all, he is the winner and we are the losers." When Li Shimin said this, his expression was extremely unwilling, and he also had too much dissatisfaction. Many times he lost too inexplicably.

"It's all useless and humble. I failed to borrow the barbarian troops, and let the other party borrow the barbarian cavalry. This made the young master be ambushed and attacked by the other party in the Han barbarian village." Duan Zhixuan looked guilty. .

"Don't talk about the past. Besides, it's not your fault. I didn't expect Wang Junlin's layout in Sichuan and Shu to be so far-reaching." When Li Shimin said this, his face was a little ugly, I feel a little powerless in my heart.

Duan Zhixuan lowered his head and remained silent.

"You don't have to be too guilty. Victory or defeat on the battlefield is a common matter in military affairs. Besides, you will not win the battle with the Far Eastern Army for a while. Then we will fight back in other places. You are my most trusted general. It is me. You should not only focus on one county or one city, but consider and plan for the whole world.”

Duan Zhixuan froze for a moment, frowned in thought, suddenly his heart moved, his eyes flickered, and he said: "Young master wants to do something to Luoyang Wang Shichong..."
