The Controversy of the Eastern Palace Chapter 66 Conspiracy(1/2)
Okay, Wu Niang has missed you recently, go and talk to her in the back!" The unexpected Lu Zhaoci didn't explain anything to him. He just found an excuse to get him away. Then Li Zhiyun
He nodded and walked towards the backyard, quickly disappearing from the sight of the two of them.
"Have you really decided to give it?" A trace of nervousness flashed on Fang Xuanling's face. Although he knew that Lu Zhaoci was suspected of assisting Li Zhiyun in many operations, he had never heard him mention it on his own initiative. With great difficulty,
It came out this time. Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be surprised, and also felt a little excited and nervous.
"Does Xuan Ling know that King Qin has accepted the Chai family again?" Lu Zhaoci said without thinking: "Qi King Li Yuanji had tens of thousands of troops and fled without fighting. More importantly, in order to force my father to defend
Huo Yi actually escorted all the members of the Lu clan to the capital. This is why Your Majesty made me king, just to compensate me."
"That's it." Fang Xuanling took a breath, but never thought that such a thing would happen. She looked at Lu Zhaoci and said: "The King of Qi and the Crown Prince are friends, and the Chai family and the general are life-and-death enemies. The general
But neither side is pleased! The Guanlong family is pressing harder and harder, and the general's situation will not be good in the future. No wonder he is determined.
"Brother Xuanling, what about you?" Lu Zhaoci looked at this wise middle-aged man curiously.
"I've boarded your pirate ship, can I still get off?" Fang Xuanling showed a wry smile, shook his head, and said, "I just don't know how sure the general's strategy is?"
"As long as you convince one person, you will be more than 90% sure."
Fang Xuanling's expression changed when he heard this, with a look of shock on his face. After a long while, he sighed and said: "I'm afraid the general's strategy will not be prepared in a day or two!" "That's natural, Mr. Fang, when will he
Lu Zhaoci said proudly after seeing me, Lu Zhaoci, not fighting an uncertain battle. This is the advantage of a time traveler. He is familiar with the process of history. Even if the details in the middle have changed, there has been no change in general.
"What does the general want Xuanling to do?" Fang Xuanling nodded.
"That Taoist priest is probably sent by the King of Qin. Lu Zhaoci said calmly: "The King of Qin wants to rely on His Majesty the King of Chu to contain someone. In that case, it is as he wishes. However, His Majesty has issued an order last night, Mingyue and the Crown Princess.
Everyone is pregnant and wants to get married. It is probably because I heard last night that the Chai family has surrendered to the King of Qin."
"You mean to ask King Chu to move closer to King Qin? But you move closer to the prince?" Fang Xuanling asked in surprise.
"No, it's you, not me." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said: "I will still be my Duke of Zhao as before, or if His Majesty really ennobles a county king, I will not interfere in other matters.
Just be a free and easy person."
Fang Xuanling's face changed, she stared at Lu Zhaoci, and suddenly smiled and said: "You said you didn't do anything. I wouldn't believe it even if you beat Fang Qiao to death. However, if you really didn't do it, it would be the same for my Fang to seek refuge with His Highness the King of Qin."
A nice thing.”
"Brother Fang can't do it, no way." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said, "Brother Fang can't be a person from Chao Qin and Mu Chu."
"Okay, Fang is going to say goodbye. That little Taoist priest does have a few brushes. Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed with a glimmer of excitement, a trace of determination, and that was the light of wisdom.
In the Prince Qin's Mansion not far from the Duke of Zhao's Mansion, Li Shimin was sitting on a low couch with a trace of pride on his face.
Now he finally took control of the military again. Under him, officials and generals such as Changsun Wuji, Du Ruhui, Gao Shilian, Tang Jian, Liu Zhenghui, Hou Junji, etc. all came back from Changchun Palace. Even Chai Keyu also participated.
this meeting.
"In the evening, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Duke Zhao will come to the mansion for a banquet to discuss strategies to resist Liu Wuzhou. Although Duke Zhao is the commander of this battle, our Qin Palace must first come up with something. Otherwise, Zhao Guogong will underestimate our Qin Palace." Li Shimin
After scanning the crowd, he first set his tone.
"Your Highness, why don't you take the opportunity to get rid of Lu Zhaoci? In this way, only Your Highness will be the leader in the army. No matter what happens in the future, Your Highness will be invincible." A gloomy voice came to everyone's ears,
Everyone's expressions changed and they all looked over, only to see a hint of ferocity on Chai Keyu's face. Changsun Wuji and others couldn't help but frown.
"That's right, we're trying to get rid of the fire under the cauldron. There are no immortals in this marching battle. We can take advantage of the chaos and get rid of him before leaving. This will also save His Highness a potential enemy." Unexpectedly, there are still people who appreciate this plan.
Changsun Wuji and others looked over again, only to see Hou Junji with a murderous look on his face.
But it is undeniable that this is also a strategy, and it is a very clever strategy. Today, there are big giants in the army of the Tang Dynasty. One is the Lu Zhaoci camp with the Zuo Langwei army as the core; the other is Li Shimin
The generals under his command; the third are the clan generals who are loyal to Li Yuan. Among the three parties, Lu Zhaoci is the strongest, but he is also the weakest, because he has no foundation to speak of. Although the clan generals are the weakest, they are also the weakest.
In fact, they are the strongest, because they have Li Yuan's support behind them. When Lu Zhaoci and Li Shimin were taken away from the military power, the Tang army fell into the hands of the clan, such as Li Shentong, Li Xiaogong, etc.
Wait. If he wants to control the military, his only goal is to kill Lu Zhaoci and subdue his strength. In this way, Li Shimin can indeed be invincible.
Looking at Li Shimin's blazing eyes, Changsun Wuji quickly dissuaded him: "This is not possible. This is not possible.
"Auxiliary machine, please tell me. Li Shimin pointed at Changsun Wuji and asked.
"The first is the question of whether Lu Zhaoci can be killed. Lu Zhaoci is known as a cunning fox. Not only is he good at marching and fighting, but most importantly, he is highly skilled in martial arts. Prince Chai must know this!" Changsun Wuji swept away the question.
Chai Keyu glanced at Chai Keyu in the corner. Chai Keyu's face flashed with pain and embarrassment when he heard this. It was because Chai didn't know that Lu Zhaoci was very skilled in martial arts that he lost dozens of assassins and the strength of the Champion Hall was greatly damaged.
"Secondly, can killing Lu Zhaoci subdue his generals?" Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "Not to mention Lu Zhaoying, even thirty of Lu Zhaoci's disciples would also do it because of this matter.
He grew resentful towards His Highness, and therefore defected to the prince's command. As for Qu Tutong, Li Jing and other generals, they were even more disappointed. You have not seen that Lu Zhaoci made a great contribution. It is said that he was responsible for most of Li Tang's battles. Today, Your Majesty is hanging.
Although he knew it in his heart, he still could only serve his high position and reduce his military power. He never dared to accuse him unreasonably. For this reason, it can be said that Lu Zhaoci would never get involved except to expand his Lu family.
It is a matter between the East Palace and King Qin. Therefore, this person cannot be harmonious, cannot be offended, and cannot be killed."
"Don't mention this matter anymore. Li Shimin had a look of disappointment on his face. Although he was a little yearning for it, he also knew that this matter really couldn't happen, especially not in his own hands.
"Auxiliary machine, please continue." Li Shimin ignored the unwilling expressions on the faces of Hou Junji and Chai Keyu on the side, but continued to ask.
"What Your Highness has to do now is how to defeat Liu Wuzhou, expand his achievements, use his reputation to influence the situation of the court, and shake the position of the East Palace." Changsun Wuji said through gritted teeth.
"Hey, I just want to do something practical and help my father to pacify the world as soon as possible. As for the eldest brother, who is the eldest son, the position of the prince should still be taken by him." Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Now we should discuss how to deal with it.
Liu Wuzhou! Pei Jian has no ability to lead the army. First there were Jiang Baoyi, Dugu Huaien, and then Pei Jian. Now there is another Shilang. Hum, an army of hundreds of thousands was defeated by these people. If it happens again.
If we continue, I'm afraid we won't be able to unify the world yet. I will have very few troops left in the Tang Dynasty."
"Your Highness is merciful." Although everyone was dubious about Li Shimin's words, the people carrying the sedan chair still showed admiration on their faces.
"If Your Highness wants to make a great contribution, you only need to defeat Liu Wuzhou. If you defeat Liu Wuzhou's main force, you must fight with him. This is a great achievement. Du Ruhui also said: "If I am not wrong, Liu Wuzhou's general Song Jin
As soon as Wang heard that our army was coming to Shanxi, and would definitely attack the border with a large army, according to its itinerary, it would definitely be close to Paibi, so our army fought a decisive battle with them at Paibi. The opponent came from afar and lacked food and grass, and the roads in Queshu Valley were blocked.
It is even more unsuitable for turnover of grain and grass. However, our army is backed by the Yellow River and has endless grain and grass. In this way, we can exhaust the opponent's grain and grass, and then send a large army to attack its grain road. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to eliminate the Song and Jin Dynasties and complete our work in one battle.
This is your highness’ opportunity.”
"What Keming said is true, but don't forget it. Lu Zhaoci's march was strange and strange. How could he not know these things? If he wanted to win great achievements, it would be very difficult.
Lu Zhaoci is not an easy person to get along with! Now he is the commander-in-chief, and His Highness is the deputy commander-in-chief. If he takes charge of the battle himself and sends His Highness to attack his grain road, there will be nothing we can do. Gao Shilian shook his head.
Said. The rest of the people also frowned. "This doesn't matter. I can ask Lu Zhaoci to give up the garrison and shoot the jade, and instead turn to attack Liu Wuzhou and attack his grain road." Changsun Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately
Laughed loudly...
"Fu Quan, come on, hurry up." Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly urged. Du Ruhui and others also looked at Changsun Wuji, expecting to come out of his mouth with a clever plan that would shake the world and make the gods cry.
Come.
"Do you remember the story of how Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty entered the pass first?" Wuji, the grandson of the Han Dynasty, laughed and said: "Xiang Yu had a powerful army at the time. Emperor Gaozu only had more than ten thousand men in his hands, but he entered the pass first.
, but Xiang Yu needed to fight dozens of battles with Zhang Han before reaching Hangu Pass. At that time, it was the same as today. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang each had to choose a path to enter the pass to attack Qin. In the end, it was Liu Bang who had the least difficulty.
West Road."
"Why is this?" Hou Junji asked impatiently.
"Sad soldiers!" Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "When Xiang Yu's uncle Xiang Liang died in the battle, Liu Bang wanted to march from the east route under the banner of avenging Xiang Liang. However, Xiang Yu refused and offered to send troops to the east route himself.
, even if he knew this, he would not be the first to enter Guanzhong, but he had to do this. This is because of the word filial piety. His uncle died at the hands of Zhang Han, and he had to avenge him. Liu Bang used a conspiracy
, Even if Xiang Yu knows, he still has to do this."
"What do you mean, Lord Changsun, to let His Highness play Liu Bang?" Hou Junji said in surprise.
"Yes, we have to thank our King Qi for this! If he hadn't forced Lu Danghu to defend Huoyi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have come up with this trick!" Changsun Wuji laughed proudly and said: "Tonight
During the night banquet, His Highness took the initiative to lead a partial army to the north. On the one hand, it was to save Lu Danghu in Huoyi City. On the other hand, it was to rob Liu Wuzhou and the grain road of Song and Jin Dynasties. Although Lu Zhaoci was known as
He is a cunning fox, but he can't escape the word of filial piety. He had to reject His Highness's proposal and led the Zuo Yaowei army north to rescue Huoyi. He robbed the grain roads of Liu Wuzhou and Song Jinwang, while His Highness sat in charge of the shooting, although he was the deputy
He is a handsome man, but he does the things of a commander-in-chief. When the day comes when he returns victorious, the world will only record his merits and reputation on His Highness."
"Okay, okay, what the auxiliary machine said is very reasonable." Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands in appreciation. Gao Shilian and others also had their eyes lit up. They looked at Changsun Wuji with complicated eyes. From then on, he was the number one in the Qin Palace.
The counselor finally appeared. Perhaps in terms of military strategy, Du Ruhui was slightly better. But in terms of political strategy, Changsun Wuji had already grown up.
But is Lu Zhaoci really the Xiang Yu that everyone imagined? No one knows, they can only make guesses out of thin air. Even Li Shimin has no certainty in his heart.
It's night! The palace of the Prince of Qin is brightly lit, and maids and maids can be seen everywhere, and there are even more blessings and blessings in the hall. Today, not only the general of the town army has arrived, but also His Royal Highness the Prince of the East Palace has also arrived. Even the King of Chu, Li Zhiyun, has arrived.
Among the invitations. Some other ministers also came, but they were all subordinates of Liao Ping or Li Shimin of the East Palace. In the main hall, probably only Lu Zhaoci came without his subordinates. And the King of Chu, Li Zhiyun, only brought one room.
Xuanling comes.
"Haha, Your Highness, the people of the world are jealous of you!" Li Shimin suddenly raised his glass and said: "Originally, I heard that the general's concubine was pregnant. It happened that my brother's concubine was also pregnant, and the two were about to get married.
It’s better to have a kiss now, it’s easier for you, brother.”
"I am the eldest son, and the second brother is still late!" Li Jiancheng said pointedly. Everyone in the hall was moved when they heard this, and they lightly glanced at the four people on the stage, but they all pretended not to have heard this.
"Since ancient times, the children of the Tian family have not worried about getting married, so why should your two highnesses worry?" Lu Zhaoci pretended not to hear the meaning of Li Jiancheng's words, and said calmly: "I still have two wives.
If you are pregnant at that time, I will be more intimate with His Highness the King of Qin.
"That's very good, very good." Li Shimin was stunned when he heard the words, but he quickly came to his senses, clapped his hands repeatedly, and shouted hello.
Li Jiancheng's expression on the opposite side changed, and a smile appeared on his face. He pointed at Lu Zhaoci and cursed with a smile: "Lu Qing is so naughty." How could he not understand the meaning of Lu Zhaoci's words? But he
They did not take it seriously. After analysis during this period, both the East Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace believed that Lu Zhaoci did not want to get involved in the fight between the East Palace and the Prince of Qin's Palace. Of course, this was also under the condition of not harming the interests of the Lu family.
"How else could he be called a cunning fox?" A cold voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and the originally bustling hall fell into silence. Everyone looked towards the place where the sound originated. The people who can sit here are not simple people.
