Li Hao smacked his lips, this is the truth, the prince has at most raised some generals or something, how can he be able to mobilize troops and horses, otherwise the emperor will not live, Li Hao pondered for a while, and said in a loud voice: "Chen Laosan, go and see if Du He's goods are dead, if they are not dead, get them for me!" ”

At this moment, Chen Bin came back with the Xuanjia Army to resume his life, although he let the enemy escape, but only more than 100 people escaped, and began to order: "Chen Bin, you interrogate Zhao Jie and let him write a confession of guilt, the speed must be fast, you are allowed to use any cruel criminal law, it is really not good, I will not say you if I gouge out his eyes, I only need to confess the crime." ”

Chen Laosan came over to report at this time: "Master Hou, Du He is still alive, but he passed out, his thigh is bleeding, can he be saved?" ”

"Who has time to save him! Let him die! Li Hao shouted impatiently, turned his head to look at Zhao Jie, and said fiercely, "You'd better write out the confession for me quickly, otherwise I'll chop off your life and feed it to the dog!" ”

"I ...... I write, I write......" Zhao Jie was so frightened that he stuttered when he spoke.

Li Hao ordered someone to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and asked Zhao Jie to write a confession of the crime, and drew a confession, and then said: "Chen Bin, quickly take His Royal Highness King Jin to Chang'an to find the Duke of Yiguo......"

Li Hao said and stopped, he suddenly stopped, he found a problem, in the middle of the night, how to enter Chang'an City, and since the prince wants to rebel, doesn't he have any backhands left in Chang'an City? Isn't he afraid that Chang'an will send troops to rescue the emperor?

This time Li Hao is really worried, the prince really did not leave a back hand in Chang'an City, because this rebellion was planned by Hou Junji, in Hou Junji's view, Chang'an is so big, and there are many generals, they have limited troops, it is impossible to control Chang'an, they can only give it a go, concentrate all their forces in Shaohua Mountain, kill Li Shimin in one fell swoop, the most important thing is not to leak the news, and then when he comes back, he also puts the Son of Heaven Honor Guard, as long as he enters the Taiji Palace smoothly, let Li Chengqian ascend the throne, hold the jade seal, and the big thing will be.

Li Hao thought for a moment, and couldn't care so much, and muttered: "I'll go to Chang'an in person, Chen Bin, take those rebels, and Zhao Jie Duhe, let's go to Chang'an, I don't believe it, I can't enter Chang'an City!" ”

Li Hao came to Chang'an with a group of people, and when he stood under the Mingde Gate, Li Hao raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

Due to the sudden increase of hundreds of people under the city, the guards on the city tower naturally became nervous, and they bent their bows and arrows one after another, waiting for the battle, as if facing a great enemy, Li Hao hurriedly said loudly: "I am Li Hao, the Marquis of Lantian County, and this one next to me is His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" Don't let your arrows go! His Royal Highness the King of Jin wants to see your city gate captain! ”

The guards at the head of the city were taken aback when they heard this, and Hou Li Hao of Lantian County naturally knew that they had a great reputation recently, as for King Jin, although his reputation was not obvious, they also knew that after all, he was a prince, and it was not a joke.

Just as Li Hao was talking, the surrounding Xuanjia army cooperated very well to bring the torches to Li Hao and Li Zhi, more than a dozen torches illuminated the two, and the guards at the head of the city exclaimed, it was really the Marquis of Lantian County and the King of Jin, and someone immediately went to inform the captain of the city gate.

The captain of the city gate is a person named Zhou Tai, who belongs to the right military guard, and Qin Qiong, the general of the right military guard, has a good relationship with Li Hao, so Zhou Tai also knows Li Hao, and after Zhou Tai came to the city tower and saw Li Hao, he hurriedly asked: "Li County Marquis, King of Jin?" What are you ...... What's the matter? ”

"100,000 urgent!" Li Hao said with a solemn face, "The emperor is hunting in Shaohua Mountain, the crown prince Li Chengqian and Hou Junji Li Anyan rebelled, Ben Hou came to report the news, asking to see Qin Qiong, the general of the right Wuwei, Su Dingfang, the general of the left Wuwei, and Peng Hai, the general of the right Xiaowei, hoping that they can go to King Qin of Shaohua Mountain." ”

"Is that so?" Zhou Tai's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Quick!" Quickly go to inform and send someone to inform General Qin, General Su and General Peng, and say that His Royal Highness the Marquis of Lantian County and King Jin are asking to see him at Mingdemen, and there are 100,000 urgent matters! ”

"Yes!" When several of the guards heard this, they took the order and left.

Then Zhou Tai arched his hand towards Li Hao and said: "Li County Marquis, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, wait a minute, the humble post has sent someone to inform the three generals." ”

"Hmm." Li Hao nodded, and waited patiently under the city, in fact, he was not very patient, he was pacing around there, obviously very anxious.

After more than ten minutes, the sound of horses' hooves on the street, Qin Qiong, Su Dingfang and Peng Hai actually arrived together, the three of them climbed the city tower and looked at Li Hao under the city, Qin Qiong hurriedly asked: "Li Hao!" What happened? ”

Li Hao arched his hand towards the city tower and said loudly: "Three generals, the prince and Hou Junji and Li Anyan rebelled, and now Your Majesty is likely to have been besieged in Shaohua Mountain, I specially came to report the news, I hope that the three of them can send troops to Shaohua Mountain as soon as possible, and go to King Qin, I am afraid that there will be changes!" ”

"What!" The three of them were shocked when they heard this, and the prince rebelled? That's a big deal.

However, Su Dingfang said with a sad face, "Without the official document of the Ministry of War and His Majesty's Holy Decree Fish Talisman, we have no right to transfer troops!" ”

Qin Qiong and Peng Hai also frowned when they heard this, obviously they also felt that this was a problem.

Li Hao said: "Three, I'll go up to the city tower and talk to you." He dismounted suddenly, and then took out two strange things and put them on his feet, only to see that this thing was like a simple shoe cover, and there were extremely sharp iron thorns at the bottom of his feet, like fangs, this is a spiked shoe cover invented by Li Hao, made of pure steel, with this thing, he can easily climb the city wall.

After Li Hao put on the spike cover, a quick sprint, and then with the help of inertia, his feet on the city wall quickly, the steel thorns at the bottom of the shoe cover under his brute force, every step went deep into the city wall, it is with the help of this force and inertia, Li Hao staged a jaw-dropping "ladder to the sky", more than ten meters high city wall was actually run up by him in one breath.

When he jumped down the city wall he was speechless.

After a long time, Peng Haicai praised sincerely: "Hou Ye is really a god!" ”

Peng Hai had followed Li Hao for nearly half a year, and he admired Li Hao's ability and iron-blooded heart very much, even if he was now the general of the Right Xiaowei, he still admired Li Hao inexplicably.

"No more nonsense." Li Hao said, "Look at the prisoners and corpses under the city, they are all people sent by the prince to attack my Hou Mansion, they went to a total of 2,000 people, the leaders are Du He Zhao Jie and Helan Chushi, Helan Chushi escaped, Du He was injured and lost too much blood, and I don't know if he is dead or alive at present, this Zhao Jie is below, he has confessed to their conspiracy, this is a confession." As he spoke, he took out Zhao Jie's confession from his arms and handed it to them.

The three of them took torches to illuminate the confession, and after reading it, they all looked solemn, and Su Dingfang asked the city for the sake of safety: "Where is Zhao Jie?" ”

Chen Bin pushed Zhao Jie forward and slapped Zhao Jie's face with a torch, Zhao Jie hurriedly said, "I'm here, I'm here!" ”

Su Dingfang asked coldly: "General Ben asked you, you said that the crown prince Hou Jun and Li Anyan rebelled, but the truth?" ”

"It's true, it's true, they rebelled, they really rebelled!" Zhao Jie had already thought about it on the way here, he had now committed the crime of rebellion, and if he wanted to live, only by being a tainted witness could he have any hope of making meritorious service and surviving.

When the three of them heard this, their faces suddenly became even more gloomy, and Li Hao said: "Three generals, I know that you are subject to iron laws, as long as the three can trust me, I want to borrow 2,000 troops from the three respectively, led by the King of Jin, and go to King Qin, if something goes wrong, the responsibility will be borne by me and King Jin, if King Qin succeeds, there are also three names in the merit book, how about it?" ”

Qin Qiong didn't say a word, and immediately nodded: "Okay, I believe you, I will lend you two thousand soldiers and horses!" Since he chose to support Li Hao, he naturally had to believe in Li Hao unconditionally.

Peng Hai also followed: "I also believe in the Hou Ye, and I will also borrow you 2,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Su Dingfang frowned and groaned for a long time, shook his head and sighed: "Li Xianhou, I'm sorry, although Zhao Jie testified, the evidence is still not enough, borrowing troops is not child's play......"

Li Hao arched his hand and said: "General Su is old and seeks the country, I know that you have good intentions, General Su doesn't have to mind, with Uncle Qin and General Peng's 4,000 men, the overall situation can already be determined." ”

Although Su Dingfang refused to borrow troops, Li Hao didn't blame him, Su Dingfang did the right thing, after all, he didn't have any friendship with him, he didn't trust himself as he should, and he was a good general by using troops carefully.

Of course, Qin Qiong and Peng Hai did not do anything wrong, they knew themselves well with themselves, knew that they were loyal and good ministers, and now that they have evidence, they should also borrow troops from the king.

At dawn, four thousand soldiers and horses were assembled outside the Mingde Gate, Qin Qiong, Peng Hai and Su Dingfang came out to see each other, Li Hao arched his hand and said: "Uncle Qin, please do one thing for you, I have taken out all the parts of my family, please Uncle Qin send someone to my house to help me guard for a few days, the little nephew is not very grateful." ”

Qin Qiong patted her chest when she heard this: "Don't worry about this, I will personally take someone to your house to sit in town, and see if there is anyone who dares to do anything!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Qin, the three generals, for taking their leave." Li Hao solemnly said goodbye, and Li Zhi also gave his hand together.

The three of them also bowed their hands and said, "Go all the way." ”

Li Hao sweated wildly when he heard this, how could it be like a memorial service, it was too unlucky, I don't know if he was going to fight, of course, he couldn't care about this, time was pressing, he didn't talk nonsense, he turned around and left with Li Zhi, followed by four thousand troops and two hundred Xuanjia army, with such a powerful force, he was absolutely confident to deal with Hou Junji's 20,000 army, besides, Li Shimin himself brought 8,000 men and horses.

In the 4,000 army, 2,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, in order to go to support as soon as possible, Li Hao divided the army into two groups, and Xue Rengui took the cavalry to take the first step and rushed to support, so that Chen Bin and Li Zhi took the infantry to march behind.

When Li Hao went to Chang'an to borrow troops late at night, in the Shaohua Mountain camp, Li Shimin was still unconscious, because the doctor diagnosed that Li Shimin was poisoned, and the arrow was poisonous, but fortunately they rescued it in time and stabilized the poison, but Li Shimin estimated that he would not wake up for a while.

The top generals here are Jin Wuwei general Li Yuanzhong and Yulinwei general Cai Yao, Li Yuanzhong and Cai Yao discussed late at night, and decided to send a master to break through and send a letter, and go to Chang'an to move the rescue troops, because they failed to break through the previous times, so this time they must send a master to go, and looking at the camp, the highest martial arts are Li Yuanzhong and Cai Yao, really compared, Li Yuanzhong's martial arts are higher than Cai Yao, and finally Li Yuanzhong decided to break through in person, and he was ready to break through with a letter stamped with a seal in his arms, in order to cover Li Yuanzhong, Cai Yao took the initiative to launch a fierce attack on the enemy under the mountain and create chaos.

However, Hou Junji was experienced, and as soon as he heard that the enemy took the initiative to attack, he expected their intentions, and immediately ordered to strictly guard the main roads down the mountain to prevent the enemy from breaking through and reporting the news!
