Another day passed, the Xu army arrived and was stationed in the east of Luoyang City.

Kou Zhong sent an envoy to accuse Li Shimin of his atrocities against Jingnian Zen Temple, and asked him to drive him out, laughing and said, "I heard that Kou Zhong did not know how to live or die, and he actually promised to repeat the grand view of the Buddha statue in the Zen Temple after he could occupy the world. If he saw the records in the booklet, he would probably not have the courage to speak."

He burst into laughter, Yu Shinan shook his head and sighed, "Don't say it's him, even if I don't have the courage to open the book now. Every bit of gold and red copper is a bit of people's fat and cream."

The tent suddenly became cold. Seeing that the situation was wrong, Liu Heita quickly laughed and said, "I have seen Kou Zhong, but he is a man with affection and righteousness. He is a bit casual and innocent, not like a king. He said this, probably to comfort the monk Kong. If he really knew that it would cost so much money, he would probably be reluctant to let him go. At most, he would give the Buddha statue a wooden sculpture and a layer of paint on the outside."

When he said this, the tent became quieter. Wei Zheng, Yu Shinan and other old ministers of King Xia glared together. He suddenly panicked and realized that he should not praise the monarch of the enemy country here, so he quickly accused him of the crime.

Li Shimin laughed loudly and turned to tease, "It's okay, he also went out of the Huashan Gate. If he was too useless, wouldn't he seem to be incompetent?"

Shen Yuanjing responded faintly: "Since Qingxuan retreated to the enemy, Wugui was in charge of the rule, and the two became famous in the world, no one in the world dared to say that I was not good at teaching disciples and had no vision. It was because my personal masters were chosen, and only those who were not enough had fallen into the ranks of registered disciples."

Li Shimin was speechless. He had wanted to officially join Shen Yuanjing several times, but he refused without hesitation. He said that he did not have enough talent in martial arts, and he always looked at his wife as a registered disciple. Even because of this, he had been ridiculed by Changsun Wugui many times.

He coughed and said, "Now that Xu State has arrived, I see that their army is not bad, and the number of people is greater than that of us. In addition, Kou Zhong is also a famous general of the world. Please tell me how to deal with it."

Shen Yuanjing said first: "According to my judgment, Lekong should not have followed the army, otherwise with his nature, he would definitely come here in person to question the affairs of Jingnian Zen Temple in person. The monks under him are powerful brigades, so Xu Jun must have no idea of ​​colliding with us head-on, or can make use of it."

Li Shimin was excited and immediately said, "But there is a little possibility. When you come again, there will be a monk formation in Xu's army." The hundreds of monks in Jingnian Zen Temple are also a fighting force that cannot be ignored, and they are also the guarantee for Kou Zhong to hold the throne firmly.

...

The two sides confronted Luoyang City for seven days, and the documents were constantly coming and going, but there was no movement in the city, as if they had made up their minds and were ready to waste them.

The Zhou Kingdom neither made a battle nor attacked the city, nor even sent a letter. The camp was stable every day, and the camp was getting deeper and deeper, as if it was about to live here for a long time. On the contrary, Xu Jun on the other side was a little restless and made a little adjustment before he calmed down.

At the junction of You and Xu at night, there was a lot of noise in Luoyang City and a lot of turmoil. The Xu army opposite was also in a state of turmoil. After walking for a long time, they did not advance or retreat. Li Shimin only let the generals sit firmly and ignore them.

At midnight, a man suddenly ran towards the back army, disturbing the guards, and asking for a meeting with Shen Yuanjing.

Shen Yuanjing arrived in an instant and said, "Zhao Deyan, you are very brave and dare to come to see me alone."

Zhao Deyan smiled bitterly and said, "I escaped at the last moment and offended Bi Xuan and Jie Li. If a dog that was stranded was hiding in Luoyang City. Although Mr. Meng Chen did not pursue the matter and survived by chance, the two kings are now fighting each other, and Luoyang is already at the end of the road and dare not not come."

Shen Yuanjing nodded and asked him to sit down. He then breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to delay and said, "Please give orders from Mr. Chen to attack the city quickly. If you have the dust in the city, you can respond to the big things."

"Wait for a moment." Shen Yuanjing raised his hand to stop, and waited for Li Shimin to come in a hurry before saying, "You should start carefully and don't hide it."

Zhao Deyan secretly thought about the relationship between the two, knowing that the other party wanted to explain the matter clearly and judge his purpose, so he did not dare to neglect it. He hurriedly said, "In the case of the evil king making friends with the Ming Dynasty outside the border, I and Yuchen, Xi Ying followed Wang Shichong, wanting to help him accomplish his career.

The evil king contacted all parties and formulated plans for the three kingdoms of Liang, Jianghuai, Xia to send troops at the same time, as well as the uprisings in Guanzhong, Bashu, and many companies to attack Zhou. During the time of Jieshi Wang Shichong could pretend to confront the generals of the original Wagang, but secretly took Chang'an.

When the overall situation is decided, we will return to Xu together, and work together to clear the king's side and expel Cihang Jingzhai, and then we will recreate the prosperous era of the ancient Great Zhou Dynasty sharing the world with the princes."

When Li Shimin heard this, his face was very heavy and said frankly: "Even if our Zhou Kingdom is strong, it is really difficult to resist to deal with so many forces at the same time. You can also use open plans for this strategy. So you are not trying to hide it from us, but you should not let Cihang Jingzhai and Yingui Sect notice it?"

"Emperor Zhou is indeed wise and wise." Zhao Deyan showed an admiration on his face and said with a sneer: "Those two gangs are probably crazy. Cihang Jingzhai clamored to eliminate demons and defend the way all day long. If Kou and Xu had not followed their advice, Ning Daoqi and others would be watching him. Let's see who would pay attention to Du Fuwei, Wagang, Wang Bo, Dugu, Yuwen, Nanhai Sect, Dajiang Society and others.

As for the Yingui Sect, it can only be said that the woman who fell into madness was unreasonable. It was obviously a great opportunity for the rise of my Demon Sect, and even the Evil King made a concession and vowed to give the position of the leader to the sect ten years later, but Zhu Yuyan was unwilling to fight for herself. Lin Shihong, who was the one who was in charge of the Southern Song Dynasty, could nail it to Yuzhang and unable to move. What would he do to compete with the heroes of the Central Plains?"

Seeing that the great achievements were in vain, he felt worse and worse when he spoke, and cursed: "The most outrageous thing is Wang Shichong, a mediocre, a fool, and a lack of ambition. Even if Emperor Zhou did not send Li Jing to prepare for defense in Tongguan, he would not have the ability to conquer Chang'an.

Yang Gongqing was the number one general under his command, and was forced by him to protect himself by his nepotism; Ouyang Xiyi was his close friend, and was famous. He was ambushed by him in conjunction with the Ming Dynasty, almost died, and escaped to Yang Gongqing's camp to save his life. Alas, this time, they contacted Kou Zhong."

"Hmm?" Li Shimin asked in a deep voice, "Kou Zhong? Can Mr. Zhao say more in detail? Why did Kou Zhong again?"

Zhao Deyan sighed, "Let me start from the beginning. At that time, we made a plan to attack Chang'an. Wang Shichong should have led the troops himself, but he was afraid of Mr. Chen's reputation and did not dare to set off. He actually found a substitute and asked his useless son, General Wang Xuanying, to lead the army.
