Chapter 600 Kill Wei
Li Chengqi returned home.

Fortunately, although he had endured a lot of hard work in the palace, it might not be an easy task for him to arrive in Wuzhou with a few of his men dressed in rough Qinling.

He said with mixed surprises: "Cui Shilang made a great contribution this time."

Li Longji hummed without expressing his opinion.

Contributors must have made great contributions, without Cui Riyong, they would be like blind men, and Li Dan was not as calm as when he met Webster.It was this meeting that made Webster relax his vigilance.

But the reason why Cui Riyong did this, Li Longji had some ideas in his mind.

The key to the problem lies in Wang Hua.

It was precisely because Wang Hua released Zong Chuke. Of course, doing so proved that he did not keep the past in mind. In order to pursue interests, he could still reconcile with Webster like he did with the Wang family in Taiyuan.It is precisely because of this release that in the past few months, Webster has always harbored illusions about whether Wang Hua can be reconciled.

Cui Riyong's change is what Wang Hua did later. He asked the court for someone who could be responsible, and he didn't name Zong Chuke.Otherwise, he would not have released Zong Chuke.But Webster beheaded Zong Chuke, and even Zong Jinqing, and gave it to Wang Hua.

Therefore, there are also some ministers in the Wei Party who feel sympathetic.In addition, Cui Riyong had a pretty good relationship with Zong Chuke before, and under various ideas, Cui Riyong betrayed Webster and took refuge in himself.

He then thought of several major events that had happened in the past few years.Wu Sansi was killed by Li Chongjun, but the reason why Li Chongjun killed Wu Sansi was that Wang Hua was faintly behind him, not to mention that Wang Hua made the big statue so that Wu Sansi could wear a crown and a dragon robe.

Even after Li Xian's death, there was also Wang Hua's figure.

If it weren't for Wang Hua, Li Xian would not have learned from the painful experience, nor would he have conflicted with Webster.

And I need Wang Hua's support for this change of soldiers.

Facing such a character, Li Longji felt very powerless.What made him most unhappy was Wang Hua's contempt for imperial power.But so what?But thinking about Wang Hua's experience, Li Longji admired him very much.

He whispered: "This is just the beginning, and the good days are coming soon."

Webster relaxed his vigilance, and it was Li Longji's turn to start his activities.

The light rain on the Tianjie is as moist as crisp, and the grass looks far away but there is nothing nearby; the most beneficial thing is the spring of the year, which is better than the smoke and willows in the emperor's capital.

Chang'an in March is full of smoke and willows, and the scenery is extremely moving.

A spring rain also arrived as promised. Among the green willows all over the city, layers of dense air were raised, like a fairyland.

Six or seven people rode tall horses and galloped out of Chang'an City.

These people had high spirits on their faces, they were heading to Zhongnan Mountain to hunt.

Although Zhongnan Mountain is not as close to Chang'an as Mang Mountain is to Luoyang, it's not very far away. It takes two hours to trot to arrive. If you have a convenient carriage and go back and forth every day, you can spare several hours to see the scenery in the mountains.

Therefore, in this beautiful spring moment, it has become the first place for dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City.

But the identities of these people are somewhat special, one is Li Longji's confidant Wang Maozhong, and the others are all middle and low-level generals of Wanqi in the Habayashi Army.

The Habayashi Army defending the capital is divided into left and right flying cavalry and left and right ten thousand cavalry, known as the four habayashi armies.Later, Tianqi was added to Suzong and divided into six armies.Some of the soldiers who joined Li Yuan's army at the earliest set up camp at Xuanwumen, and their soldiers were named Yuan Cong Forbidden Army.In the hands of Li Shimin, he set up camps on the left and right, named Flying Cavalry.During Gaozong's reign, the camp was changed to the Left and Right Habayashi Army, and it was renamed Flying Cavalry soon after.These soldiers were selected from meritorious disciples and guards.It wasn't until Li Longji saw that the fighting power was low, so he chose many warriors who went to Tibet to enter.However, the effect was not great. There were still many Changan businessmen, wealthy households and rangers who invested in flying cavalry to escape corvee.

Compared with Feiqi, an "aristocratic army", Wanqi is a civilian army.The earliest formation was a close-fitting cavalry and archery troop next to Li Shimin. At first, there were only a hundred people, known as the Hundred Cavalry, but they were all carefully selected from officials, slaves and ethnic minorities. Wearing leather pattern clothes, riding on a leopard-decorated saddle, following the emperor.

Later, this team gradually expanded, reaching 1000 people. In the coup of the Five Kings and Dragons, because the fighting power of this Habayashi army was still there, it was also the main force. After shouting, Li Xian was very satisfied with his defection before the battle, so he expanded it to about 1 people, known as Wanqi.

What Li Longji was playing was the idea in Wanqi.

This time Wang Maozhong was accompanied by Wan Qizhong's Guo Yi Ge Fushun, Chen Xuanli, Li Xianfu and two of his cronies.

It turned out that Gao Song wanted to establish prestige, so he whipped the cavalry at every turn, hoping to use this to establish prestige.

Yesterday, because of offending Gao Song, Ge Fushun and Chen Xuanli, Guo Yi, were also beaten up by Gao Song.

These two people are not happy, they are still Guo Yi anyway, from the generals of the fourth rank, if they are beaten by a capable person, such as Ge Shuhan or Wang Junchuo, they can still be convinced, and they are made by Gao Song, a sissy. Wei Zuofu beat him up, and they were very unconvinced.

When drinking with Wang Maozhong last night, the wine was full of wine, and Wang Maozhong's instigation, Ge Fushun couldn't help saying angrily: "I wish I could kill this traitorous minister!"

Chen Xuanli tugged Ge Fushun to remind him to be more careful when speaking.

Ge Fushun patted the table and said, "What are you afraid of, Brother Chen, I've had enough of this motherfucker."

Chen Xuanli was so anxious that he almost wanted to cover Ge Fushun's mouth.

Wang Maozhong vaguely felt that this breakthrough had come, and he said: "Brother Chen, we are all our own brothers, and there are no outsiders here, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Brother Ge is a hero. If Brother Ge does not hesitate to condescend, there is a woman who is willing betrothed to Brother Ge."

Wang Maozhong himself looks very fierce, but his daughter is very good-looking, only thirteen or fourteen years old, and has not been betrothed to anyone yet.

Hearing Wang Maozhong said that he betrothed his daughter to him, Ge Fushun sobered up, and said, "Brother Wang, is this true or not?"

The boy immediately hit the iron while it was hot, fell on the ground and changed his words: "The boy has seen my uncle (father-in-law)."

But he was immediately pulled up by Chen Xuanli. Chen Xuanli looked at Wang Maozhong and said, "Who is your master?"

It's okay to drink and fight together, even if they play prostitutes and gamble, once they get married, they are like grasshoppers tied to a rope.Chen Xuanli had always been skeptical about Wang Maozhong's origin, but Wang Maozhong kept his mouth shut. He only drank and had sex with prostitutes, and then the mountains and seas were blowing away, it didn't matter.But the nature of my good friends getting married is different.Therefore, Chen Xuanli asked each other.

Wang Maozhong also felt the heat.He said: "If you want to know about my master, you can go to Zhongnan Mountain tomorrow to tell."

There is definitely no way to meet in the capital, but the only way to avoid other people's eyes and ears is to meet at Zhongnan Mountain.

That's why we have today's business.

Far above the cold mountain, the stone path is slanted, and there is no one in the depths of the white clouds.

It is impossible for there to be no one. There are still people in the depths of the white clouds. However, as a group of people walked along the winding mountain road and entered the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, the drizzle became even denser. Even if there were people, they were enveloped. In the rain and fog, I couldn't see it.

But Chen Xuanli and the others were not restless in their hearts. The master Wang Maozhong, the more meticulous his thoughts, the more he would be a person who would do great things.

When I came to a hidden valley, I finally saw a few people standing in the rain curtain. Although they were wearing coir raincoats, the inner skirts were still wet by the wind and rain.

The two servants couldn't help shivering a little. Although it was spring in March, in this big mountain, the terrain was high and the mountain wind was even fiercer. In addition, the clothes were wet, and it was still a little cold.

It's just that the leading young man stood there standing still, like a javelin.

Several people approached, Wang Maozhong got off his horse, and introduced to Chen Xuanli and the others: "He is my master, I have seen Sanlang."

He said and did a big gift.

Everyone knows everyone, Li Longji, who doesn't know the soldier of the Habayashi Army?
But it is also expected by several people, there are only a few people who can aspire to the top of the world now, and it is impossible for Webster to meet them secretly.Either it is Wang Hua, don't underestimate Wang Hua.In Chen Xuanli's mind, if Wang Hua wanted to win the championship, his chances were higher than Li Longji's.

Followed by Prince Xiang and his son, and Princess Taiping.

There is no one else, not Princess Jincheng's biological father Li Shouli, or other kings.As for Li Chongfu, it is also impossible. He was supervised by Webster in Junzhou, not to mention that he does not seem to have the ambition and ability to let his subordinates mix with Princess Taiping's sect.

Li Longji came over and said modestly: "I have seen some generals, can you go hunting with me?"

Instead of using Gu, he used me, which made several people unable to refuse.

Li Longji and these others went into the mountains to hunt. Of course, the animals did not matter whether it was windy or rainy. In addition, the arrow skills of the few people were very good, and they would have a lot of gains in a while.

Only then did Li Longji lead them into a gazebo to grill their prey, and then they got to the point.

After all, everyone is not familiar with them, so it would be a bit risky to get into the main topic, so Li Longji invited them to hunt. This is also an opportunity to observe these people, and at the same time, it also gives them a chance to observe themselves.

To make people defect, there must be a reason for people to defect.

After talking about the political situation for a while, Li Longji said: "The man was born a hero and died a ghost. Now that the country is in crisis and the treacherous ministers are in power, can you help me, generals, to help the government and establish a reputation that lasts forever?"

His life as a hero and his death as a ghost are extracted from Wang Hua's poems copied by Li Qingzhao.He is a hero in life and a hero in death. He still misses Xiang Yu and refuses to cross Jiangdong. He likes it very much.

But after talking with Zhang Shuo later, Zhang Shuo also passed on Wang Huashuo's thick black theory to him.It is said in it that Wang Hua criticized Xiang Yu's benevolence as a woman. If he didn't kill Liu Bang, he wouldn't have a dark heart, and if he was embarrassed to cross Jiangdong, he would not have a thick skin. Therefore, the eternal hero was defeated by the little hooligan Liu Bang.

It made him feel very stunned.It took me a long time to think, after all, poetry is poetry, and it cannot be taken seriously.

Several people are very satisfied with Li Longji's attitude, and they also know that among all the disciples of the clan, only Li Longji has the most achievements. If you find a master, naturally the more accomplished the master, the more promising you will be.

However, several people were embarrassed, and even Ge Fushun was sober now because he didn't drink, and he didn't want Wang Maozhong's beautiful daughter anymore.No matter how beautiful a beauty is, she must be blessed to enjoy it.

But feeling Li Longji's importance and straightforwardness, Chen Xuanli replied: "Your Highness, even if we help you, there are still too few people."

After reminded by Wang Hua, Webster now attaches great importance to the Habayashi Army. Almost all the middle and senior generals are Wei family disciples, just like an iron bucket, which cannot be splashed with water.Even if they help each other, they are no more than dozens of friends and close subordinates in the army who can be trusted.

Of course, Li Longji has great ambitions, and Xiang Wang's family also arranged some people.However, under Webster's strict surveillance, it is very doubtful how many people can be arranged.

Li Longji smiled slightly. If it was the original, he did not have the capital to win, but it is different now.He said: "How about adding the hundreds of strong men I brought from Luzhou?"

Chen Xuanli still shook his head.Li Longji mentioned a few hundred people, but he didn't say nearly a thousand people. There may be only three or four hundred, four or five hundred people. If these people are placed in the Habayashi Army, it will still work.After all, the Habayashi Army guarded the palace from the inside.Sudden attack, may immediately see results.Li Chongjun's failure that time was mainly because he was not talented enough and he didn't arrange it well, otherwise he might not fail to see success.

But putting these hundreds of people outside and attacking the imperial city may not have much effect.

Li Longji also said in his heart that he was lucky, if it wasn't for Wang Hua's support, it would be really difficult to win him over.He continued: "Then add in the [-] bravest soldiers in the blood battalion, dozens of cannons, and Wang Hua personally commanding them, so the number is still quite small?"

Several people stood up in fright.

They themselves come from Wanqi, although they are not as noble as Feiqi, but in terms of combat effectiveness, they look down on Feiqi's group of elders.Even because he is a group of warriors, he doesn't even look down on other troops of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the blood camp was an exception. If political opinions were not mentioned, the soldier in the Tang Dynasty dared to despise the blood camp.

That is a hero who climbed out of the dead. Don't say credit in the blood camp. It means how many enemies have been killed and how many prisoners of war have been captured. Only when there are more than ten people are there.No more than ten people, just shut up and don't mention it.

There were even hundreds of people, and the number of enemies killed or captured reached more than 100.

Although Chen Xuanli and the others were very reserved, they probably knew very well in their hearts that if they put themselves in the blood camp and fought with real swords and guns, maybe a small team leader would be able to kill themselves.

[-] of the bravest soldiers of the Blood Battalion, and dozens of cannons, just look at the tower under construction to see how powerful the cannons are.In addition, Wang Hua, who was killed from a thousand Habayashi Army soldiers, had no horses and no weapons at hand.One enemy against one thousand is exaggerated, but one enemy against one hundred against two hundred is not impossible.

Don't want the Habayashi Army, and don't want Li Longji's men, just these 500 people plus Wang Hua and artillery, all problems will be solved.

However, it cannot be said like this, just like what Chen Xuanli said, if there is no response from the Habayashi Army and a strong attack from the outside, time will be delayed.After all, there are huge troops stationed inside and outside Chang'an City.If the palace cannot be occupied quickly, the night will be full of dreams.

What Wang Hua said before Li Longji left was very reasonable.

However, when Li Longji played this chess piece, Chen Xuanli knew that Li Longji could achieve great things, and they immediately fell to the ground and said, "I am willing to follow His Highness's command to save the country from disasters, and do not hesitate to do anything."

Li Longji slandered in his heart, he didn't hesitate to slander, what did he do just now?
But he also knew that this was human nature, so let Chen Xuanli lead dozens of Yulin soldiers to single out the palace?
He helped them up and said: "Don't do this big gift, everyone, the country still has to thank you generals."

Several people sat up again, Li Xianfu said: "Your Highness, if the Blood Camp is willing to help, there will be more soldiers among the ten thousand riders who are willing to help Your Highness."

As long as this news is released, I believe that more than half of the Habayashi army is willing to help Li Longji.But Li Longji said sternly: "It's better not to abuse the lack, everyone, even when contacting the warriors of Wanqi, you must also remember not to leak the news, especially about the blood camp coming to help."

After Chen Xuanli and others were settled, Li Longji used Princess Taiping as a matchmaker, and began to secretly meet with Wei Weiqing Xue Chongyu, Xijingyuan Director Zhong Shaojing, Shangyi Fengyu, Jiang Caier's Si Wang Chongye, former Chaoyi Lieutenant Liu Youqiu, and Li Renfu Zhechong. Ma Sizong and others planned to launch an attack first.These few people are inconspicuous, but with Zhong Shaojing, they can immediately enter the Xiyuan, and after entering the Xiyuan, they can direct their troops to the Xuanwu Gate and directly reach the Taiji Palace.Li Shimin also chose this route during the mutiny.Although the official position is small, he has a lot of friends and can inquire about many news for Li Longji.Liu Youqiu is Li Longji's best friend.Ma Sizong still has some troops in his hands.That is to say, the official position is small, but it is very practical.Similarly, it is precisely because of their small official positions that they have the idea of ​​taking a gamble, which can also be used by Li Longji.

And this time, Li Longji also walked directly from the backstage to the front desk, and took the initiative to conspire with these people.

When Webster sent troops to Linzhou for the king, and the Tubo envoy was killed, and she was so upset looking for documents, she didn't expect that under her nose, a few little people were preparing for an earth-shaking revolution.

On March 25, Li Longji received news at home that Wang Hua had entered the city.All the people sneaked into the city. In fact, Wang Hua didn't need Li Dan's help.First, a small number of people were arranged to enter Chang'an to buy some housing properties.Chang'an City is extremely spacious, and countless people come in and out every day.With 500 people stuffed in, no one noticed at all.

That is to say, it is a little troublesome.

Ever since Wang Hua took advantage of the opportunity in the Ministry of Household Affairs to forge his records, the imperial court began to change his records.Wang Hua can still be forged, but just in case, let Li Dan find a "genuine" shop, and feel at ease.

After sneaking into Chang'an City, they immediately dispersed to various places in the city.In fact, Wang Hua had arranged some people in advance in Chang'an City.Using the cover of these people, the 500 people entered Chang'an City without attracting attention.

Of course, if it takes a long time, it will show its feet.But this time can't last long.

Wang Hua did this to prevent people secretly arranged by Webster around Li Dan. The incident on the Tianjin Bridge frightened him.

But there are still a few things that are troublesome. One is the armor, and the weapons don't have to worry about it. Li Dan can't even handle the weapons, so he doesn't want to do big things.But the armor was too conspicuous, so Wang Hua specially used crocodile leather armor.There is no way, there are many poisons in Oceania, so people are asked to use their spare time to find these poisons, hunt them down, and limit the number of poisons.There are also big crocodiles in the north, and there are many such monsters on the islands in the South China Sea.Although they are not as harmful as poisonous insects, the people are more afraid of them.

So Wang Hua ordered people to catch these crocodiles at the same time. It was not easy to get them. Most of the time, these crocodiles were lurking under the water surface, with only their eyes and nostrils exposed.And just seeing it, ordinary bows and arrows can't hurt.Later, I came up with a way to make a wide iron-bottomed wooden boat to prevent the crocodiles from going crazy and overturning it. Then people stood on the boat and went down the river, setting off firecrackers to wake up the crocodiles. The crossbow hunts and kills.

That's it, and there's no way to make them extinct.The quantity is too much.However, due to the large-scale hunting, the safe areas gradually moved out.

These crocodile skins made soldiers into armor, which was not inferior to iron armor in terms of defensive ability, and was light in weight, making it easy to move around in complex terrain.

Later, a batch was also transported to the northwest, but it was never used.So this time more than 1000 pieces were shipped to Chang'an.The frontal battlefield is still not as good as iron armor, but in street fighting, its lightness can play a role.

In addition to the armor, there are fifty cannons, as well as shells.Although the size is not large, it is very difficult to transport Wang Hua's current resources into Chang'an City, so I handed it over to Li Dan.

Li Longji was overjoyed when he heard this, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
