I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 93
Li Shimin remembered a secret incident recorded in the history books, but he was not sure whether it was true or not, so he took Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and a confidant and hurried towards Zhenguanjing in the south of the city.

When he arrived, he asked people to go down and say that he was looking for some treasure, and soon one of his guards who could swim jumped down and began to grope.

Not long after, while Li Shimin was waiting anxiously, the guards salvaged a brocade box from the well. Li Shimin was very excited. It seemed that what was recorded in the history books was indeed true.

He hurriedly hugged the brocade box, and took only Guan Yu and Zhang Liao to a secluded courtyard. With trembling hands, he carefully opened the brocade box. Sure enough, he saw the familiar treasure. Holding a jade seal, Li Shimin picked it up carefully, looked at the back, and there were several simple and meaningful characters engraved on it impressively: "Ordered by the sky, life will last forever".

"Haha, it's destiny." Li Shimin shouted excitedly.

He knew that he took the first step to take the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, which would have been taken by Sun Jian, so he was very excited.

Everyone didn't know why, but seeing Li Shimin excited by that person, it was obvious that he had obtained some great treasure.

Li Shimin did not hide anything from his confidantes, and said somewhat mysteriously: "Do the two generals know what this is?"

Everyone shook their heads, expressing that they didn't know. Few people had seen Chuan Guo Yuxi these days.

"This is the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, but it is the most precious treasure in the world, haha." Li Shimin laughed enthusiastically.

Everyone had only heard about this treasure, and they all congratulated Li Shimin when they knew that those who got it were destined for heaven.Guan Yu and Zhang Liao were naturally more sure that following Li Shimin would have a bright future.

…………

After staying in Luoyang for a period of time, Li Shimin was also thinking about the ownership of Luoyang. Whether to occupy or withdraw, he couldn't make up his mind for a while. Although Luoyang was burned to the ground, it was the center of the world after all. In terms of influence, there is still a huge increase in influence, and there will be a lot of taxation.

But occupying Luoyang is bound to become a thorn in the eyes of the princes of the world, a thorn in the flesh, and it is not a good thing to expose one's ambitions prematurely and make the world look sideways.

What's more, occupying Luoyang and rescuing the emperor of Chang'an is a righteous issue, which cannot be escaped no matter what.It's just that now is not the right time to attack Guannei. Although Dong Zhuo lost [-] to [-] troops in this battle, nearly [-] main forces still remain.

Regarding this matter, Li Shimin sent a letter to ask several advisers for their opinions, and wanted to hear their opinions.

Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu, including Tian Feng, suggested that they withdraw from Luoyang to temporarily hide their edge and not become the target of public criticism. Moreover, Luoyang is already riddled with holes, and it needs to spend energy to rebuild it after occupying it. Therefore, they all suggested that Li Shimin withdraw.

In fact, Li Shimin also wanted to understand the pros and cons, but his advisers helped him make the final decision, so Li Shimin finally decided to withdraw to Bingzhou, but there are still a few things to do before leaving.

First of all, he thought of a rare counselor, who was a tragic figure in the original history, and he probably hasn’t defected to others yet, so he wanted to recruit this person before occupying Luoyang. Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai had recommended him to him. over him.

In Li Shimin's view, this person is also a great talent, even if he is not a natural talent, he is also a temporary choice. I am afraid that he is on par with Xu Shu and Xi Zhicai, but his fate is quite rough.

This person is also very familiar with Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu, he made friends with well-known people in China when he was young, he once discussed the strategy of war with Xi Zhicai, and the two also cherish each other.

Moreover, Xi Zhicai wrote to Guo Jia, but Guo Jia flatly rejected him, saying that he hadn't decided whether to leave the mountain yet.Seeing his ambiguous attitude, Xi Zhicai was helpless.

Li Shimin drove lightly, and led several confidantes under his command to rush from Luoyang to Wuyang, Dongjun. After a period of inquiring, he finally found the whereabouts of this person.

…………

When he reached the door of his house, Li Shimin knocked on the door lightly, and asked loudly, "Is Mr. Gongtai at home? We are friends of Mr. Yuanzhi, and we are here to pay a visit."

The people in the room obviously heard someone knocking on the door and also heard his shouting.

"Mr. Yuanzhi's friend? Could it be him?"

He immediately got up, tidied up his clothes and went out, opened the courtyard door, and found that there were three heroic men, the leading man looked young, but in fact he was full of extravagance, wonderful, and he understood this man immediately identity.

Asked politely: "It's not easy to say that a friend comes from afar. In Xiachen Palace, may I ask if your lord is Li Shijun from Bingzhou?"

It turned out that the person Li Shimin was looking for was Chen Gong. In fact, before Li Shimin came, Chen Gong also received an invitation from his friends Xi Zhicai and Xu Shu, hoping that he would come to Bingzhou to join Li Shimin. Hero deserves to be cast.

Li Shimin and the others were also very surprised, thinking, "How could he know?"

"Yes, I am Li Shimin. These two are my generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao. I don't know how you guessed it?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

"Haha, I recently made a fortune-telling, and guessed that a nobleman came to the door. Looking at your appearance as a dragon and a phoenix, and the appearance of the sun, and recently heard that Luoyang is occupied by you, I guess the only nobleman must be Li Shijun." Chen Gong said with a smile : "Emissary Li, the two generals please hurry up."

"Haha, Mister is indeed a great talent, after speaking, he followed Chen Gong into the house."

It turned out that Chen Gong's parents died early, and he was brought up by his elder brother and sister-in-law. Now that he has grown up, he has moved out to live alone. His family is indeed poorer, but it is very elegant.The furnishings in the room are very simple, but they are arranged very carefully, which seems to imply Jiugong gossip, which is quite mysterious.

"Mr. must have known my reason for coming. This time I took the liberty to come to the door. I also hope to ask him to come out and help me." Li Shimin said sincerely.

Chen Gong smiled and said nothing, neither agreed nor refused, but asked instead: "What is your plan for Luoyang? Is it to occupy or retreat?"

Chen Gong's intention seemed to be a test for Li Shimin, Li Shimin naturally understood, and immediately said, "Take back your edge, retreat to Luoyang temporarily, stay away from disasters, and wait for the opportunity."

Chen Gong did intend to test him. He heard that Li Shimin was so decisive and gave up Luoyang, which was very popular. His decision was really extraordinary, with great courage and perseverance. It can be seen that Li Shimin is indeed a person who can accomplish great things.

Then he didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately paid homage, "If the envoy never abandons you, the palace is willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

"Haha, the people of the world are like a tiger with wings added if you have a gentleman." He quickly helped Chen Gong up.
