Chapter 240: We Are Brothers, Each for His Own Master (For the Hall Master Ran Xi Allure City)

"Li Shimin was caught by Wang Shiyun?" Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying with a worried look on his face: "What's going on?" ”

After Li Xiuning joined Li Yuanji in Beibi Mountain, she led the generals to take over Luoyang, and then she rushed to Cijian with part of the cavalry, but she didn't expect to receive a bad news just after coming to the Cijian camp: "Li Shimin was actually caught in the hands of the enemy and was captured by Wang Shiyun, the king of Zheng Guoqi!" ”

Chen Ying really didn't know how to explain to Li Xiuning, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Changsun Shunde, and said, "Still, General Changsun will come on!" ”

"Her Royal Highness Princess Pingyang Mingjian, here's the thing!" The eldest grandson Shunde smiled bitterly and told Li Xiuning eloquently.

The eldest grandson Shunde smiled bitterly and explained how Wang Shichong used the trebuchet to cooperate with the offensive of the sea of people, and beat the Tang army camp of Cijian to the point that he had no power to fight back, and only had the ability to parry. As Wang Shichong broke through the outer defense line of Cijian Datang, Li Shimin had no choice but to order two thousand people led by Qin Qiong to attack Wang Shichong's camp, preparing to destroy Wang Shichong's trebuchet.

It's just a pity that Wang Shichong had already expected that the Tang army would attack the trebuchet troops and set up an ambush in front of the trebuchet array. Qin Qiong was in a plan, Li Shimin was helpless, and in a hurry, he launched a surprise attack of the whole army, but just launched a surprise attack, Wang Shichong also launched an attack and counterattack, and the Zheng army ambushed in all directions, dividing Li Shimin's department and the eldest grandson Shunde's department into two. In the end, Li Shimin's troops were outnumbered and forced to surrender to Wang Shiyun.

"Erlang is such a fool!" Li Xiuning said with a worried face: "You quickly think of a way to save Erlang!" ”

Chen Ying patted Li Xiuning's hand lightly and said: "Sanniang, you don't have to worry, now Hou Mo Chen Xu has caught Wang Shichong, so with Wang Shichong as a hostage, His Royal Highness King Qin has no worries about his life, now he needs to wait for Wang Shiyun to come to the door, the next thing is actually very easy to do, just negotiate!" ”

The battle of Tang Zheng Luoyang was over, but no one expected that it would be such an outcome. Chen Ying also didn't expect that at the most critical moment, it was Hou Mo Chen Xu who saw the right time to turn things around, otherwise with Li Shimin as a hostage, Li Yuan was likely to make big concessions to Wang Shichong.

Fortunately, there is Wang Shichong, a hostage of sufficient weight. The battle was finally over, Wang Shiyun took the rest of the Zheng army with more than 50,000 men and horses to guard the Zheng army's camp, and controlled nearly 1,500 Tang military hostages under Li Shimin, even Qin Qiong, Duan Zhixuan, Niu Junda, Lei Yongji, these generals, none of them ran away, and all of them were taken prisoner.

The Tang army also had prisoners in their hands, Wang Shichong, Duan Da, Zhao Jiqing, etc., as for the ordinary soldiers, they could no longer be counted as prisoners, they surrendered directly, Yang Qing, Tian Zan and others directly expressed their surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

After Chen Ying comforted Li Xiuning, he came to the outside of the Chinese army's tent, looking at the Zheng army's camp that was still deadlocked. A huge plan in the head, slowly forming.

Just then, footsteps rang out.

"I thought you'd come in the evening!" Chen Ying didn't look back, and used the afterglow of his eyes to see Hou Mo and Chen Xu walking slowly.

"We are brothers, and we can't write two Hou Mo Chen clans in one stroke!" Hou Mo Chen Xu smiled slightly: "Hou Mo Chen's family has many disasters and difficulties, and it really can't withstand internal friction, our brothers are definitely not brothers, some things are better to explain clearly!" ”

Chen Ying said noncommittally: "What do you mean, what misunderstanding can our brothers have!" ”

"Looks like you really don't know!" Hou Mo Chen Xu said: "You must be curious, why were my father and uncle matched by Yang Guangliu one after another?" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I really don't know this!" ”

"Because, our Hou Mo Chen clan originally supported Yang Yong, the abolished prince of the East Palace!" Hou Mo Chen Xu sighed and said: "Back then, my uncle abolished the prince Yang Yong's prince Shaobao of the East Palace, and at the same time, my uncle was also Yang Yong's bow and horse master, Yang Yong was abolished, and our Hou Mo Chen family became a thorn in Yang Guang's heart, so my father and uncle were successively demoted out of the Central Plains and transferred to Lingnan. ”

Chen Ying really doesn't know this secret, in fact, Chen Ying's biological mother was born in the Hongnong Yang family, which is consistent with the values of the traditional family gatekeeper, Hou Mo Chen Rui also thinks that he should establish a successor, Hou Mo Chen and the Yuan family all support the crown prince Yang Yong. It's just a pity that Yang Yong failed, and Hou Mo Chen was also demoted from Jingshi by Yang Guang, thus greatly reducing his influence in Guanzhong.

"The past does not forget the teacher of the future, Hou Mo Chen must not repeat the mistakes of the past!" Hou Mo Chen Xu said solemnly: "We are in the Li Tang Imperial Court, divided into three camps, the eldest brother (Hou Mo Chen Qianhui) does not stand in line, or he is on His Majesty's side, and the fifth brother, you are on the side of the East Palace, I have to reluctantly stand on the side of the Qin Palace, no matter who Li Tang takes the throne in the future, our Hou Mo Chen clan can continue, to avoid being swept away like back then!" ”

Chen Ying nodded and said, "No matter what, we're all brothers, aren't we?" ”

"We are brothers, but we are on two sides, each its own master!" Hou Mo Chen Xu said solemnly: "From now on, we will each be our own master!" If...... In the future, if you really get to that point, don't blame me! ”

"Good...... Good! Chen Ying said: "Life and death depend on your fate, each according to his ability, you must not be soft." ”

Hou Mo Chen Xu said: "Fifth brother...... Treasure! ”

Saying that, Hou Mo Chen Xu turned around and left.

Chen Ying looked at Hou Mo Chen Xu's back, his face solemn. He knew that this turn was forever.

Whether Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng will be fratricidal like in history, Chen Ying cannot be sure. However, he knew that Hou Mo Chen Xu and him parted ways.

……

At this time, Wang Shiyun not only did not have the joy of victory, but was very painful, he did whatever it took to finally capture Li Shimin, with Li Shimin in hand, although it will not completely reverse the situation of Zheng Guo's complete passivity, but in this way, whether it is to surrender the Tang Dynasty or resist, Zheng Guo's strategic space will undoubtedly be much larger.

It's just that he didn't think of it. Wang Shichong was also captured. Luoyang City has been lost, Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying have been taken prisoner, and Zheng Guo is finished.

Wang Shiyun looked up to the sky and sighed, but he was helpless.

"Could it be that this is the destiny of heaven?"

Wang Shiyun thought for a while and said, "Come on, take Li Shimin!" ”

Not long after, Li Shimin was escorted to Wang Shiyun's tent by a team of armor soldiers.

Li Shimin was surprised to find that Wang Shiyun did not have the slightest joy of victory at this time, and there were blisters on his mouth, and he didn't know if it was because of the fire or the lack of water. Wang Shiyun's eyes were bloodshot and frighteningly red.

Li Shimin was naturally not frightened, he looked at Wang Shiyun: "King Qi, do you want to kill Gu so impatiently?" ”

Wang Shiyun smiled bitterly: "I don't want to kill you, but I want to make a deal with you!" ”

It was not until this moment that Li Shimin found out that at the same time as he was captured, Wang Shichong was also captured by the Tang army. King to king, this is even.

"Oh......" Li Shimin asked with great interest: "I don't know what deal His Royal Highness King Qi wants to make with me, a captive?" ”

Wang Shiyun was silent for a moment and said: "This battle has been fought for too long, there are enough dead people, there is no need to fight any more, our Zheng State is finished, our Wang clan has lost, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, can you give our Wang clan a decent ending?" ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness King Qi, you have found the wrong person, do you think that this captive can be the master now?" ”
