"The King of Qin has been chosen."
After Li Shan said these words, everyone in the room had different expressions, not because they had any objections to Li Shimin. In all the wars over the years, he had joined hands with Zhang Shigui, Xue Wanjun, Shi Danai, Duan Zhixuan and other generals of the Tiance Mansion. He once stood side by side with Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong and Hou Junji in Tiantai Mountain and Renzhi Palace.
What's more, now that the situation of seizing the legitimate heir is clear, the prince is about to fall, and the King of Qin is leading the army to go on an expedition. After returning to the capital, he will definitely take over the East Palace. It is natural to choose the King of Qin.
But many people turned their heads to look at Liu Hei'er. How did Ah Hei know that A Lang would choose King Qin?
If he didn't know, it would be impossible for him to say that he had a grudge against the prince just now.
Cui Xin was a little dissatisfied with his son-in-law's pretentiousness. You had obviously been serving him for several years. He looked at everyone's expressions and said, well, Su Dingfang must know, Zhu Wei should also know, and the others... Oh, by the way, Fan Shiyi's skinny monkey must also know that he is Huairen's confidant. He works as a scout to find out the military situation during the war, and when he returns to the capital, he is responsible for Huairen's affairs that are not on the table.
Li Shan said slowly: "I'm afraid that the prince has noticed it. From today on, unless summoned by your majesty, I will not leave Zhuangzi again until King Qin returns to the capital."
"If your Majesty summons you, Su Zhi, the palace supervisor, should come in person. You all know this person. If there are other palace people who are close to you, you should be on guard."
Su Zhi must have come in person. Li Shimin has already pointed this out, and Princess Pingyang has also promised... Li Yuan is not stupid. If the East Palace really wants to defeat the enemy, then the first target must be Chai Shao, and the second target It was him, the Siwang of Wei, who was quite prestigious in the military.
Li Shan also knew very well that the two sides were now playing a clear card. If the East Palace wanted to take action, it was impossible not to consider himself, who was outside Chang'an City and was likely to join forces with Yuchi Gong, who had thousands of elites in his hands.
Only when Su Zhi comes in person and Li Shan can see Chai Shao on Chengtianmen Street during his court visit can we ensure that he will not fall into a trap.
"Starting from today, Sun Moon Lake will be on heightened alert. No one can let down any secret sentries." Li Shan glanced at Su Dingfang, "The seventh uncle is in charge of the village, and the guards and young men are mobilized by Brother Dingfang."
"There must be one person in the village with Duke Zhao."
Ever since the incident at Renzhi Palace, Su Dingfang has been staying in Sun Moon Lake on the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, and has basically stayed out of Chang'an. In fact, this has been the case since Su Dingfang resigned from his position as the marching director of Lingzhou Road at the beginning of the year. Now he has become a general of the Zuojianmen Gate. He is in the imperial army of Beiya, but in fact he is not in charge of the government.
"Ah Hei, you are Brother Dingfang's deputy." Li Shan continued, "If there is an accident, you will be in charge."
"Yes." Liu Heier knelt down on one knee, "I will live up to Alang's trust."
"However, if Alang wants to enter the palace for an audience, he must be surrounded by guards." Zhu Wei reminded: "If there is a change..."
Su Dingfang said: "Jun Hao led thirty personal guards to protect Huairen."
In fact, the most suitable candidate is not Wang Junhao. Although he is brave, he is not a man of ideas. When Zhang Zhongjian and Hou Hongtao are not in Beijing and Qi Sanlang is still recovering from his injuries, Qu Silang is the most suitable candidate. However, Li Shan and After Li Shimin discussed it, he temporarily placed Qu Silang in the Beiya Imperial Guards to prevent unexpected events.
After a pause, Su Dingfang looked at Fan Shiyi, hesitated for a while and said, "One of you or Fan Tu must be by Huairen's side."
"Yes." Fan Shiyi responded.
Su Dingfang looked at Qu Silang, "No matter what, we must protect Huairen."
"Yes." Qu Silang simply responded. No amount of guarantees can compare to actual actions, "Alang, do you want to contact the old members of the Bei Ya Forbidden Army?"
"Huh?" Li Shan was stunned for a moment, "Are you referring to the county children?"
"Yes, for example, He Lou Xingshu, Li Sanlang, etc." Qu Silang said with a smile: "I was also a member of Alang's personal guard back then, but later he entered the court and the army one after another."
In fact, Li Shan is not too reassured about these descendants of Daixian's powerful clan. These people around him are not direct descendants. "How many are there?"
"There are eleven people in total." Qu Silang narrated: "He Lou Xingshu is still in Sinong Temple, Li Sanlang is in Zuo Qianniu Guard, and his brother Li Shen is a hussar general. Now he is in Daizhou Army, and he is also a member of Alang's personal guard. The remaining nine people are in Taipu Temple, Taichang, Military Equipment Supervisor, and Beiya Forbidden Army."
"How many people are in the Beiya Forbidden Army?"
"In addition to Li Sanlang, there are three others." Qu Silang replied: "Two of them went on the expedition with Alang last year and were transferred back to Beijing this year. Originally, there were two others who were killed in the battle of Renzhi Palace."
Li Shan pondered for a moment, "Although you moved from Yunzhou to Daizhou, you are also from Daizhou. You have kept in touch with me because of the war in Hedong, but you cannot tell me the inside story."
"Yes." Qu Silang nodded repeatedly. Among the guards, in terms of military strategy, Su Dingfang, Zhang Zhongjian, and Liu Heier were all much better than him, but this person was more delicate and scheming than Wang Junhao, Hou Hongtao, He Fang, and others. All must be strong.
"Uncle Qi, how about Dongshan Temple?" Li Shan changed the topic and looked at Zhu Wei.
"We have all armor and weapons, crossbows and plenty of food." Zhu Wei's eyes flashed, "Actually, there is room on the mountain. If a large army comes to attack, we can retreat to Dongshan Temple and defend according to the danger."
At this time, there was no need to keep secrets anymore. Li Shan said directly: "There is a secret warehouse in Dongshan Temple, which was converted from a cave. If there is an incident and a large army attacks Zhuangzi, if they are defeated, they can retreat to Dongshan Temple."
"Uncle Qi will take Ah Hei and Zhou Erlang to have a look later."
Zhou Erlang just responded, but Liu Hei'er took a deep look at Li Shancai. His thoughts were much deeper than those of Zhou Erlang... The army had already attacked Zhuangzi, and something was bound to happen in Chang'an, so he retreated to Dongshan Temple. To defend in danger is nothing more than to wait for King Qin to return to the army.
The King of Qin has already joined the army. Even if the Chang'an Incident occurs, will there be a large army to attack Zhuangzi?
Liu Hei'er didn't think that the East Palace would be that stupid. Even if there was a mutiny, it was unlikely that he would immediately send a large army to attack Sun Moon Lake... At that time, any force in the hands of the prince, who had little prestige in the army, would be huge. Why did you come to attack Sun Moon Lake?
Now Liu Heier is in charge of the entire Zhuangzi defense. He knows very well that if he wants to quickly conquer Sun Moon Lake, he will need at least two thousand elites to attack without risking casualties. Does the East Palace have such a skill?
This is a bit weird, and what makes Liu Heer even weirder is that everyone from Su Dingfang to Zhu Wei and Cui Xin are silent about this arrangement, as if they think this possibility exists.
Cui Xin secretly sighed in his heart. If the East Palace wanted to defeat everything, Pei Shiju might indeed take advantage of the chaos. However, Zhu Wei promised himself that if he retreated to Dongshan Temple, he could defend it for at least half a month. How could King Qin do it for such a long time? He can also lead his army back to Chang'an.
