Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Storm Rises Again
"The account of the Duke of Wei is recorded to join the army Wei Zheng, see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and His Royal Highness the Princess of Pingyang!" Wei Zheng saluted Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, and Li Xiuning without being arrogant or humble.
Finally, Wei Zheng came out and broke the embarrassing situation in front of him.
"Wagang Wei Zheng?" Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and he responded enthusiastically: "I don't know if Mr. Wei's trip to Chang'an is a personal friendship or a business trip?" ”
Wei Zheng said: "It's a business trip." ”
Li Jiancheng's eyes lit up suddenly.
Wei Zheng said: "On the order of my lord's secret father, I came to meet the lord of Tang." ”
Li Jiancheng's eyebrows fluttered and said: "Mi Gong wants to join forces with Tang to attack Zheng? ”
Li Mi is a very smart person, even when he was defeated, he still thought of using Wang Shichong's power to blockade Guanzhong. In the case that Li Yuan couldn't figure out his reality, he sold himself at a good price.
Li Mi succeeded in isolating the news of his defeat from Tongguan. He also sent Wei Zheng to infiltrate the customs to discuss the annexation matters. In fact, not only did Li Jiancheng not expect Li Mi to surrender to Li Tang, but even Li Shimin did not expect it either.
Li Mi became famous earlier than Li Yuan, as early as the beginning of the Great Cause of the former Sui Dynasty, Li Mi studied diligently in his early years, rode a bull and hurried, and still hung a book while walking and reading. After being seen by Yang Su, he praised it vigorously. This is the origin of the horn hanging book. Later, in the ninth year of the Great Cause, Yang Xuangan's rebellion, Li Mi offered Yang Xuangan three strategies, after the rebellion of Yang Xuangan was pacified in the ninth year of the Great Cause, Li Midong hid in Tibet, joined Wagang, and strengthened Wagang with strange schemes, fought in the east and west, and had more than 400,000 soldiers in the heyday. In fact, in the late Sui Dynasty Thirty-six Road anti-kings, Li Mi's reputation was very powerful.
It can be said that once Li Mi and Li Tang form an offensive and defensive alliance, the siege of Tongguan will be resolved without a fight. Datang can have a good year. At least for a long time in the future, Li Tang's strategic position will be very favorable, and he can attack Hedong, connect the party and unite Taiyuan into one, and retreat can also painstakingly manage Guanzhong and Bashu, develop with peace of mind, accumulate strength, and a picture can be like Qin Shihuang or Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, send troops to Guanzhong and sweep the world.
Wei Zheng nodded, but shook his head again. "Yes and no!"
"Oh!" Li Jiancheng said: "I want to hear it in detail!" ”
Chen Ying took a step forward and arched his hand towards Li Jiancheng and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you know something......
Before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng's hand pinched Chen Ying's arm and winked at Chen Ying again and again.
Chen Ying deliberately ignored Wei Zheng, and said to himself: "Mr. Wei came to Chang'an, it is ......"
"Humph!" Chen Ying looked at Wei Zheng with a provocative gaze.
Wei Zheng said in a helpless voice: "Wei Zheng is not a person who does not believe in his word, General Chen is too ...... Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”
"What kind of villain's heart, the belly of a gentleman?" Li Jiancheng heard this by chance and asked curiously.
Wei Zheng's face froze, and he didn't know how to answer.
Chen Yingdao: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Mr. Wei promised at the beginning that he would send a thousand-mile horse to the end ......"
Wei Zheng looked at Chen Ying with a wry smile, secretly thinking, Chen Ying was really shameless. As long as there is a little opportunity, he will change his way to take advantage, but now it is good, Chen Ying's mouth is closed one by one, and a thousand miles of horses worth thousands of gold have become the meat in his bowl again.
But Wei Zheng didn't dare to refute Chen Ying at all, so he had to follow Chen Ying's words and say: "That's true, General Chen doesn't know Wei Zheng yet, Wei Zheng is not a stingy person!" ”
"This is not the place to talk!" After saying this, Wei Zheng's face was entangled, as ugly as getting constipation.
Li Jiancheng looked left and right at the people present, although all the soldiers of Xun Erfu had been brought back to the barracks by Zhang Huaiwei, Duan Zhigan and others. Gao Wanqing also took the opportunity to slip away with the Wannian County Step Archer, but at this time, the Chen Mansion still had the Pingyang Princess Mansion Guards, the Qin Wangfu Guards and the East Palace Guards, a total of three or four hundred people.
With a lot of people, it is naturally not an ideal place for business talks. Li Jiancheng nodded undeniably and said, "That's true!" ”
Li Jiancheng also looked at Chen Ying and said, "General Chen, is there a quiet place in your house?" ”
"Yes...... Yes! Chen Ying hurriedly said: "The backyard is quiet, no one disturbs you!" ”
As he spoke, Chen Ying instructed the green beads and red sleeves who were hiding at the edge of the crowd to hurry up and clean up the backyard hall.
Li Jiancheng stepped forward and held Wei Zheng's right hand cordially, put one hand on Wei Zheng's shoulder, and walked towards the backyard, with red sleeves and green beads leading Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng towards the backyard.
Chen Ying turned around and suddenly found that Li Shimin was looking at Luo Shixin with blazing eyes. At this time, Li Shimin seemed to be like a bachelor who had been holding back for 30 years, and when he saw a superb beauty, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Luo Shixin, and he couldn't move away anymore, and he couldn't wait to pounce on him immediately.
Chen Ying secretly cried out. Could it be that this is the fate of Luo Shixin?
Luo Shixin still wants to take refuge under Li Shimin like in history?
In history, Luo Shixin took refuge in Li Shimin, followed the King of Qin to attack Wang Shichong, won many battles, and became famous. Because of his merits, he was awarded the governor of Jiangzhou and was named the Duke of Tanguo. After pacifying Wang Shichong, Luo Shixin suppressed Liu Heimin from King Qin. During the conquest of Liu Heimin, the weak division was captured because of the defense of the lonely city, and the city was broken, and he was killed by Liu Heimin for refusing to surrender.
As the saying goes, whatever you are afraid of comes.
"This must be General Luo Shixinluo, the vanguard general under the account of the 12 counties of Henan Province to arrest the ambassador Zhang, right?" Li Shimin smiled, clasped his fists towards Luo Shixin and said: "General Luo came to Chang'an, the people failed to fulfill the landlord's suitability, it was too rude, and I asked General Luo to appreciate his face and stay in the Qin Palace!" ”
Chen Ying just wanted to follow Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng into the backyard, but now he can't care about it. Chen Ying naturally didn't want to go to great lengths to make a wedding dress for Li Shimin.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin, General Luo's people from Wagang!" Chen Ying had a smile on his face, and said with something in his words: "Your Highness, it doesn't seem to be too righteous!" ”
Li Shimin didn't seem to show any displeasure, and said lightly: "General Chen is too worried, this king has no intention of digging up the secret prince's henchmen, but simply admires General Luo!" ”
Chen Ying watched Luo Shixin and was about to follow Li Jiancheng and Wei Zheng to the backyard, and walked towards the backyard. Chen Ying stepped forward and grabbed Luo Shixin's arm and said, "Don't go and make trouble!" ”
Luo Shixin thought about it, but in terms of resourcefulness, it was not his field of expertise. Luo Shixin suddenly looked at Kan Ling and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, I'm hungry." Let's drink! ”
"Good. His Royal Highness King Qin, if you have nothing to do, you might as well join us! In fact, Chen Ying was just polite, like asking a person who was not very close, "Have you eaten?" ”
But Li Shimin hit the snake and went to the stick: "So this king is disrespectful!" ”
The Chen Mansion began to get busy again, whether it was Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin who brought people to the Chen Mansion, it was all out of good intentions. The Chen Mansion doesn't care about such a small amount of wine money. Anyway, there is a flowing water feast, and the Chen Mansion has dishes and wine. In a short time, the meal for three or four hundred people was ready.
The rough men in the army do not have too high a demand for food, even if there is only salty brine and white meat, they can eat a big bowl. When Chen Ying was in Zhang Luo, he did not forget his brothers in the second mansion. In any case, at the time of crisis, Xun Erfu risked being punished and came to the Chen Mansion to help the field, and Chen Ying naturally understood this situation.
Just when he was guarding Zhang Luo's food for the Qin Palace, the East Palace, and the Pingyang Princess Mansion, Chen Ying quietly ordered Li Chuqi to take three hundred yuan to the Xun Er Mansion station, although the soldiers of the palace had no military pay to take, but they had three catties of food a day, but they were short of oil and water.
300 guan money can buy more than 3,000 catties of beef, and pork can buy 10,000 catties. Three hundred is enough for Xun Erfu to improve the food for half a month.
The atmosphere in Chen's mansion became warm again. Li Shimin is really a general with troops, whether it is the East Palace guard or the princess guard, he is all-encompassing, and he drinks happily with everyone.
Li Xiuning looked at Chen Ying and said fiercely: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Chen Yingdao: "If it weren't for the timely arrival of Her Royal Highness the Princess, maybe she would really go to see the King of Hades." This time I really went around from the ghost gate! ”
Li Xiuning opened his mouth, and finally asked with concern: "The injuries on your body?" It doesn't matter! ”
"My whole body hurts, and it's already a big life if I don't die!" Chen Ying sighed helplessly and said: "Who am I recruiting to provoke someone, it's just a fire at the city gate and the fish pond!" ”
Then Chen Ying talked about how he bought a flowing water seat, how he met Wei Zheng and Luo Shixin, and how Wei Zheng turned his face. Of course, Chen Ying deliberately concealed the truth that Li Mi defeated Wang Shichong, and now he is a lost dog.
Li Xiuning said: "You will have less dealings with people in the future!" ”
"It's you who don't associate with people who don't mess around!"
Chen Ying turned around, but saw that Chai Shao was already blushing, and roared with all his might: "I'm the colt, why ......?"
At this moment, Chai Shao's words were covered. The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xiuning's face gloomy as water, and hurriedly dragged Chai Shao down.
"Erlang, when did you get mixed up with him?" Li Xiuning looked at Li Shimin, and his tone was very unkind: "Don't let me see him again, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”
"Third sister, listen to my explanation!"
Li Xiuningjiao shouted: "Sanbao, let's go!" ”
Li Xiuning left angrily, and the guards of Princess Pingyang's Mansion also left.
However, at this time, Chai Shao broke free from the pull of the eldest grandson Wuji, pulled out his long sword, pointed at Chen Ying, and said, "If it's a man, fight with me!" ”
