Duan Chong? The Battle of Shouzhou was only three months ago. Li Yuan soon vaguely remembered a tall figure. Next to the arrow tower of the Bagong Mountain Camp, the young general who was a little nervous when talking to his superiors, from then on He looks honest in appearance, and he doesn't hesitate to fight.
In the bloody battle in Shouzhou City, this man led a group of Qinghuai Army soldiers to rush to the East City Tower first. Lin Sichang once praised his bravery in front of Li Yuan. If it weren't for the fact that the Qing Huai Army was short of major generals after this battle, Li Yuan would have almost had the urge to poach this man...
Now that I think about it, it feels really uncomfortable to have the person you like stab you in the back. Moreover, now that Duan Chong is working under Liu Renzhan, with Li Yuan's prestige established by the Qing Huai army in the battle of Shouzhou, and his close life-and-death relationship with Liu Renzhan, how can Duan Chong go against him? How dare you go against each other?
There were too many puzzling reasons, and although Li Yuan was a little confused, he was still quite calm, because when he and Li Song had a secret conversation in the forest, he was absolutely sure that only Lin Sichang was left by his side, and Duan How could Chong Ke be the so-called witness if he was watching from a distance?
But this calmness was soon broken by Zhang Zi's next words: "...You should know the methods of Sansi. Even if your mouth is as tough as a turtle shell, you can still pry it open sooner or later! Li Yuan , on the night of the attack on Shouzhou City, how many officers and soldiers of the Qinghuai Army saw with their own eyes that Marshal Li personally ordered Duan Chong to send a message to the rebel general Li Song!
As for what was agreed upon secretly, Duan Chong made it clear to the Third Division... The evidence has been pledged, so why bother to argue? "
In an instant, Li Yuan's face turned gloomy. No one else knew about this scene, so how could he not be impressed by it? It is absolutely unbelievable that the insidious Feng family father and son would attack in the middle and send messages back and forth on their own. It is indeed an indisputable fact. But who can know what was said except Li Song?
Therefore, even though he knew that Duan Chong's so-called testimony must be fabricated, Li Yuan could not provide other evidence to refute it except for denying it.
This is obviously an isolated proof of the word paranoia, and often this kind of isolated evidence can really become ironclad evidence when driven by certain circumstances or certain interests.
Li Yuan laughed coldly and said: "It is true that Duan Chong went to deliver the message because of the order of the Governor! But the Governor delivered the order in public and was aboveboard! But he was never allowed to pass on any disobedient words!
Haha, I don’t know what sinister means you used to force Duan Chong to talk nonsense and deliberately frame me! However, I have to admire Prime Minister Feng. It is indeed a killer move for Duan Chong to falsely accuse me. After all, the person involved is only the traitor Li Song, and there is no one else to testify. You guys are really good at calculating this! ..."
Before Li Yuan finished speaking, Li Congjia couldn't bear it anymore. He turned his back and began to urge Zhou Xingfeng to take action quickly, because His Highness Prince Zheng, who seemed to have a chance to win, had already regarded Li Yuan as someone who was about to die. Why are you talking nonsense to him now that you are a human being?
Li Congjia was eager to attack Li Yuan at this moment, because he knew in his heart that, surrounded by hundreds of Forbidden Army guards, Li Yuan and a group of Wuping generals were already in trouble in the conference hall. There was no time more suitable than now. Once the tens of thousands of Wuping troops dragged outside react, the two sides may fall into a stalemate or even cause changes.
According to the previous plan, after killing Li Yuan and the generals, the Wuping army was leaderless. As a former general of Langzhou, Zhou Xingfeng was also confident that he could successfully take over these veteran subordinates, and great things could happen. Certainly......
Looking at Zhou Xingfeng, although he showed murderous intent, he did not immediately carry out King Zheng's order. He was cautious by nature, and his eyes were always focused on the carvings in the corner of the hall. A lot of time had passed since Chenshi entered the hall. But there was still no sound of soldiers mobilizing outside the palace gate.
Naturally, they were not expecting Sergeant Wu Ping to come to rescue Li Yuan, but according to last night's plan, Zouping Hu Renxu led five thousand Sizhou soldiers to arrive outside the east city gate early, and either started a fight or successfully entered the city, but no matter what the situation, the city The Wuping Army inside will definitely react, at least their attention will be attracted to the east.
Now it's quiet outside, which is really weird.
"Prince Zhou, what are you hesitating about?"
Seeing Li Congjia's expression suddenly turned cold, Zhou Xingfeng calmly cupped his hands and replied: "Your Highness, it's not appropriate to take action at this time. Outside -"
"Haha, do it?"
Li Yuan suddenly spoke loudly and interrupted, and then showed the majesty of the Governor of Langzhou. He pressed his sword and walked with his head held high. He divided the generals in front of him and walked straight to Li Congjia. He raised his hands and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Your Majesty, your Majesty must have ordered you to come here just to announce the decree and work for the army, right? If your Majesty is really sure that the governor has acted rebelliously, I am afraid that the officials of the three divisions are already in Langzhou at this time. How could he issue two decrees in succession? ?
Your Highness, you are a royal nobleman, you come with the power of heaven, and you should act openly and aboveboard! Why put on a high-sounding face and deceive yourself and others? If you want to get rid of this governor, just speak out! You and I both understand that based on just one so-called witness, the matter is inconclusive. According to the laws of the imperial court, what qualifications do you have to kill me?
Again, His Highness Prince Zheng. I would like to say this one last time, my life and death is related to the safety of the Tang Dynasty. Don’t do stupid things to avoid regrets in the future..."
Murderous intent suddenly appeared in Li Congjia's eyes. The always weak "Zhongshan Hermit" seemed to have gone crazy. He pulled out the long sword of his personal guard, pointed it at Li Yuan, and shouted: "The law of the imperial court" The law of the court, Li Yuan! This king is here, it is the law! I have been talking nonsense with you for so long, just because you have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty in the past, I want you to die and understand!
Do you really think that you are a natural-born general to be the world's best general? Pooh! After all, you are just a villager. The Tang Dynasty is still strong without you! Just because you are so disrespectful to this king, you will die thousands of times..."
Seeing Li Congjia's furious look, even a fool could feel that his hatred for Li Yuan was not limited to his incomprehensible words. There must be other deep-seated reasons, but Li Yuan knew very well in his heart. He still looked calm and chuckled: "Your Highness, I respect you only because you are His Majesty's biological son and Prince Zheng of our dynasty, and not because of you! That's all, since Now that it’s all said and done, the Governor doesn’t care anymore!”
Then he pretended to cover his mouth, Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and whispered in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you know that this governor has long known that you hate me to the core! You, the majestic Prince Zheng, look so ugly outside the Zhou Mansion that you can't help but scratch your head and ears." His appearance has already become a joke in my back house! Hahaha..."
With the sound of "Kacha", Li Congjia seemed to hear the sound of cracking deep in his heart. The right hand holding the hilt of the sword began to tremble slightly. His mind went blank for an instant. While his face turned red, he heard the conversation between Li Yuan and the person next to him. .
"Jiang Sheng, sometimes I feel that God is fair."
"Oh? Why did the governor say this?"
"Well, how should I put it? If a person works hard to get something he shouldn't get, God will find a way to make him lose something. Some people lose their beauty for the sake of glory; some people lose their glory for the sake of beauty."
"Commander, I beg to differ!"
"Why?"
"Captain, you are different! You have all the splendor, wealth and beauty! Are you the chosen one?"
"Hahaha, you are good at talking. You are indeed my handsome brother! Life is really wonderful!"
Then the generals of Wu Ping shouted yes, as if nothing happened around them, they surrounded Li Yuan as usual, and burst into laughter.
Seeing this, not only Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Zi were stunned on the spot, but hundreds of Forbidden Army guards were also at a loss. Only Li Congjia endured the pain of being cut to pieces in his heart, and roared loudly and rushed over with his sword: " Li Yuan! I will kill you!"
"God's Coming"
"Drink!" Liu Jiangsheng led several generals and immediately drew their swords to meet them. Wind suddenly blew on their footsteps. Facing the seemingly sharp but actually soft sword edge, Liu Jiangsheng knocked down Li Congjia's long sword without any effort, with a clang sound. Landing crisply, how could Li Congjia really be able to withstand the brute force of these generals? He fell straight to the ground and knocked loudly against the stone pillar in the hall.
The atmosphere here suddenly changed from the tension just now to a deep embarrassment in a dramatic manner.
"Your Highness!" Zhang Zi's face changed drastically. He hurriedly ran over and picked up the embarrassed Li Congjia. He shouted to the bewildered Imperial Guards: "Li Yuan's offense is undoubtedly treason! You losers are still stunned. What are you doing, why don’t you hurry up and kill the traitor?”
