Chapter 389 Conquering Liu Su
Li Zhen thought about Li Yuanjing¡¯s intention to assassinate him, and he already knew it in his heart.
Li Yuanjing proclaimed himself emperor, but his name was not justified, mainly because there was still a prince of his own in the Tang Dynasty.
Once Li Shimin died, he, the crown prince, would be the emperor for granted. Therefore, only by killing himself could he be the emperor in a legitimate and peaceful manner.
Damn Li Yuanjing!
"At that moment, Li Zhen interrogated the female assassin again. The female assassin did not hide anything and told everything.
It turns out that this female assassin¡¯s name is Liu Su, and she is actually Xu Xuanping¡¯s disciple.
Xu Xuanping is a Taoist from the south of the Yangtze River who lives in seclusion in Chengyang Mountain. It is said that he has practiced Taoism in the mountains for hundreds of years and has become an immortal. The famous general Cheng Lingxi of the Chen Dynasty once received his guidance.
"It's just that Xu Xuanping lives in seclusion in the mountains, so why is he related to Li Yuanjing again?"
Liu Su said: "Li Yuanjing sent people several times to invite the master to come out of the mountain to teach the cultivation method of prolonging life, but he failed to see him many times. So Li Yuanjing announced that if the master did not come out of the mountain, Chengyang Mountain would be set on fire. The master had no choice but to I had no choice but to send me out.
I thought I was just teaching some prescriptions for prolonging life, but I didn¡¯t expect that Li Yuanjing threatened me. If I didn¡¯t come to Yingzhou to assassinate the prince, he would kill everyone on Chengyang Mountain, so I came to Yingzhou and pretended to be The vegetable seller sneaked into the prince's mansion and assassinated the prince. "
After listening to Liu Su's words, Li Zhen suddenly realized that Liu Su was also forced by Li Yuanjing and had no choice but to assassinate him.
I have heard of Xu Xuanping's name. He was a famous Taoist priest and a famous swordsman. He was said to have become an immortal. Li Shimin searched for him several times but could not find him.
It turns out that he is living in seclusion in Chengyang Mountain, Jiangnan Road, but Li Yuanjing used Liu Su to assassinate him. If he killed Liu Su, he would be in line with Li Yuanjing's wishes.
If you can recruit Liu Su, you may get Xu Xuanping's support in the future.
Moreover, Liu Su¡¯s swordsmanship is very good and he is also good at concealment. If he didn¡¯t have a gun in his hand, he would have been attacked this time. If Liu Su could be allowed to train a killer army for him, it would definitely play a big role in the future. role.
Thinking of this, Li Zhen said: "Liu Su, although you are being coerced, if I let you go, firstly, you will not be able to explain it to Li Yuanjing, and secondly, everyone will not accept it, but if you can stay and help me, I can spare your life."
Liu Su thought for a while, and everything he heard since coming to Yingzhou showed that Li Zhen was a promising person. He couldn't go back to Li Yuanjing's place. If Li Zhen could take him in, there would be nothing wrong with him. Xia Liusu bowed to Li Zhen and said: "Liu Su is willing to serve His Highness the Crown Prince"
Li Zhen was very happy to have subdued Liu Su. Liu Su was good at concealment and swordsmanship, and was definitely a good killer. Moreover, she was a disciple of Xu Xuanping, and was also good at longevity and immortality. She would definitely be of great use in the future. .
¡°When I come back from Mohe, I will form a special force and let Liu Su serve as the instructor. It will definitely play a huge role on the battlefield.
At the moment, Li Zhen asked Nina to arrange for Liu Su to serve as the guard of the Prince's Palace under Nina first, and then make arrangements when she comes back.
After dealing with this, it was already dark at night, and Li Zhen took the time to take a nap. It was not until the next morning that Li Zhen woke up.
At this time, Nina came to report that two hundred guards and two thousand soldiers had been assembled.
The military situation was urgent, and Li Zhen did not delay. He led the troops to leave Yingzhou City and headed for Liaoxi City
Xuantu City, since the destruction of Goguryeo, Xuantu City has belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Later, Li Zhen sent his general Jiang Xingba to lead two thousand troops to guard Xuantu City.
At this time, Xuantu City was besieged on three sides by the Mohe people, and the fighting was extremely fierce.
Under the city, tens of thousands of Mohe people carried siege ladders made of wood and set them up on the city head, launching a fierce charge towards the city head.
"Fire the arrow!"
Under the walls of Xuantu City, countless arrows blocked the sunlight, and the sky became dark.
A Mohe soldier looked up at the sky, his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes showed despair.
The dark clouds filling the sky turned out to be countless arrows!
"flutter!"
The one-meter-long crossbow arrow struck from above and penetrated directly through the body of the Mohe soldier.
"ah!"
The Mohe soldier screamed and fell to the ground.
"ah!"
In the rain of arrows, there was chaos below the city head, and countless Mohe sergeants?Running around in the rain of arrows, and eventually his life was taken away by the arrows.
The offensive of the Mohe soldiers was once again repulsed, leaving thousands of corpses under the city.
Although these Mohe soldiers fought bravely, they lacked armor and siege equipment.
The lack of armor made the Tang army's bows and arrows use their power to the extreme. The Mohe soldiers had been attacking for three days and three nights, but they still could not capture Xuantu City.
Bagu's eyes were already red. At this time, Qiqi Zhongxiang, his number one general, said: "Chief, we can't continue fighting like this, otherwise we won't be able to capture Xuantu City even if thousands more people die."
In fact, as the leader of Mohe, Bagu would not attack Xuantu City without any reason.
The reason for the sudden dispatch of troops was firstly because Bagu himself had the ambition to occupy the old territory of Goguryeo, and secondly, it was also instigated by Zhao Wang Li Fu.
As early as a month ago, King Li Fu of Zhao had people give Baagu a large number of gifts, including three hundred sets of armor, ten thousand taels of gold, and ten beauties from the Tang Dynasty. He also claimed that as long as Baagu could attack Yingzhou and capture Xuantu City, , Li Fu will give Bagu a lot of gifts again.
Being able to become the leader of the Mohe people, Gu was not stupid. Of course he knew that King Zhao Li Fu wanted to use the Mohe people to take Li Zhen away so that Yingzhou could not develop.
But firstly, the promise of King Zhao Li Fu is very tempting, and secondly, if Xuantu is captured, the Mohe people can indeed expand their territory and strengthen their strength.
Of course, Bagu was also afraid of Li Zhen's strength, so he chose to attack Xuantu during spring plowing, because at this time Li Zhen's territory was busy with spring plowing, and there would not be too many troops to use against him.
Moreover, before that, Bagu had sent people to investigate and found that there were only two thousand Tang troops guarding Xuantu City. But this time Bagu mobilized dozens of tribes from Limo Mohe and Baishan Mohe, and even invited troops from Heishui Mohe. Five thousand men and horses were gathered, and a total of 40,000 troops were gathered.
In Ba Gu¡¯s thinking, if there are 40,000 people compared to 2,000 people, even if his subordinates¡¯ weapons and equipment are poor, they are still sure of defeating Xuantu in a short time.
Ba Gu began to regret that the combat effectiveness of the Tang army was stronger than that of the Goguryeo army. If he had known this, he should not have attacked Xuantu so hastily.
But now that we have finally gathered so many tribes, if we retreat now, wouldn¡¯t all our efforts be wasted?
If you fail to defeat Xuantu and return without success, your reputation among the Mohe people will also plummet (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
