This time Li Jing was played miserably by Li Er. Shibi Khan just swallowed the bait and was about to bite the hook, but Li Er suddenly proposed in Turkic language to stay in the Turkic camp as a hostage, killing Li Jing completely by surprise. It also made Li Jing think that he couldn't even oppose and stop it—Li Jing couldn't force Li Er to leave the Turkic camp in front of Ashina's family, could he? So Li Jing had no choice but to watch Li Er jump out of Chen Sangliang's grasp, stay in the Turkic camp and return to the sea, becoming the most key figure in the decisive battle of Yanmen, and also became the most important figure in the decisive battle between King Qin, the Sui army and Chen Sangliang. The biggest shadow on Sangliang's head.
In the end, Li Jing didn't even know how he got out of the Turkic camp, he was in a daze, his mind was completely blank, but even so, for his own survival and to defeat the enemy's plan, Li Jing still tried his best not to show his flaws, very polite Say goodbye to Shibi Khan and Li Er, and then, under the escort of Turkic soldiers, rush back to the Sui army camp in the last darkness before dawn. Seeing the back of Li Jing riding away on horseback, Li Er also showed a happy smile at the corner of his mouth.
Next, after returning to the Sui army's camp smoothly, although Li Jing was summoned by Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang's eyes were bloodshot and apparently he hadn't slept all night, but Li Jing no longer cared about Chen Sangliang's body. , in front of Chen Sangliang's face was gloomy, and he didn't know how to open his mouth to report to Chen Sangliang. On the contrary, Chen Sangliang was very concerned about Li Jing's situation, and kept asking: "Li Juncheng, what happened? Why do you look so ugly? Where is Li Shimin? Why didn't he come back with you? Where did he go?"
Unable to withstand Chen Yingliang's repeated questioning, Li Jing finally knelt down to Chen Sangliang with his knees softened. Before he opened his mouth, tears were already glistening in his eyes. He has escaped from your grasp, and our plan to destroy the enemy has been seriously threatened."
Choked up, Li Jing roughly told the whole story. He said that Li Er had guessed the general battle plan of the Sui army. He also said that Li Er suddenly negotiated directly with Shibi Khan in Turkic, demanding that He left him in the Turkic camp as a hostage, and also said that Li Er had long suspected that Chen Sangliang had forged a large number of Turkic Golden Arrow Orders. Chen Sangliang and Wei Zheng, Yuan Tiangang, Changsun Wuji and others who accompanied him to the interview became more and more serious as they listened to it. Finally, when Li Jing finished introducing all the situation with sobs, Chen Sangliang also collapsed on the handsome chair. It was also blank, with only one thought left, "Genius! He really is a genius who lives up to his reputation!"
"When did Li Shimin learn to speak Turkic? Why didn't I know it before?" Changsun Wuji also exclaimed, "When I was friends with him before, I never heard him speak Turkic?"
Of course, no one could answer Changsun Wuji's question. Chen Sangliang and Li Jing didn't speak. Wei Zheng and Yuan Tiangang were downcast and didn't speak. It was Yin Shishi, the military judge who was supervising the preparations for the night battle in the camp, when he received the news of Li Jing's return. He hurried back to the big tent of the Chinese army and spoke, and when he saw the situation in the big tent of the Chinese army, Shishi Yin was naturally taken aback, so he hurriedly asked about the situation again, and when Wei Zheng told the situation to Shishi Yin in a low voice, he always The majestic and majestic Yin Shishi also turned into a raging lion, rushed in front of Li Jing, kicked Li Jing to the ground, and roared, "You did a good job!"
Li Jing didn't say a word, and he didn't dodge Yin Shishi's kicks, but Yin Shishi was even more angry. He picked up Li Jing's collar, grabbed Li Jing, and punched Li Jing heavily in the face, beating Li Jing. His cheeks were bruised and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he snarled and asked: "Say, you insisted on recommending Li Shimin as an envoy, did you deliberately help him escape from the commander's control and go to the Turkic side to inform the news? What is the relationship between you and Li Yuan's family?" ?!"
Li Jing still didn't say a word, and he still didn't evade the beating from Master Yin, but the more Li Jing was like this, the more angry Master Yin, who was loyal to the Sui court, kicked Li Jing over, and then rushed forward to punch and kick, Desperately venting the anger in his heart, he kept roaring, "Do you know that? Li Shimin is Li Yuan's most powerful son. Although his official position is low, he knows a lot of our military secrets and is inextricably linked with Taiyuan Qin Wangjun. If he How many hidden dangers and dangers will defecting to the enemy bring us? Our carefully arranged night battle plan may also be completely seen through by the Turks, posing the danger of annihilation of our entire army!"
Li Jing twisted his body weakly following Yin Shishi's punches and kicks, and he never said a word, nor resisted and begged for mercy. In the end, Chen Sangliang couldn't stand it anymore, and stopped him, saying: "Prefect Yin, that's enough, don't beat me any more." Well, this matter has nothing to do with Li Juncheng. We all underestimated Li Shimin. We didn't expect him to be so smart that he could guess our battle plan with just a few clues. power to break free from my hold on him."
"Why has nothing to do with him?" Yin Shishi shouted: "He strongly recommended Li Shimin as this messenger. If he sent an envoy to contact Turks, how could such a thing happen? The general has reminded you a long time ago, this Li Jing You are too close to Li Yuan's family, you can't believe it, you can't believe it, you just don't listen! Now, you have sent an order to the whole army to prepare to fight tonight, but something like this happened, what shall we do next?"
"Li Juncheng recommended Li Shimin as a messenger in order to win the trust of the Turks, and I sent Li Shimin out with my consent." Chen Yingliang said weakly: "So, Li Er fled into the Turkic barracks, I am the biggest responsibility, don't hit Li Juncheng Come on, Sangouzi, help Li Juncheng up for me."
San Gouzi, the captain of the personal army, agreed, and quickly stepped forward to help Li Jing get up. Yin Shishi stomped his foot heavily and roared, "Then what should we do now? Li Shimin has already stayed in the Turkic camp, and may leak our situation to others at any time." The Turkic army, will the big battle tonight still be fought?"
"It's okay, if it doesn't work, let's give up tonight's decisive battle plan." Chen Sangliang forced a smile, and said weakly: "Fortunately, the reinforcements from General Qu Tutong and Gu Juncheng will arrive soon. It’s not too late for them to fight together after they arrive.”
Although Chen Sangliang had a smile on his face, everyone could hear the frustration in his words. Yin Shishi also had a gloomy face, and suddenly said: "Commander, whether you give up the battle plan or not, Li Jing, Li Jiancheng You must take down the three of you and Chai Shao, and imprison them in the Chinese army just in case! Otherwise, once they collude with Li Shimin internally and externally, the consequences will definitely be disastrous!"
Chen Yingliang hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Li Jing who was bleeding from the mouth and nose, and then said: "Temporarily detain Li Jing and Chai Shao, and Li Jiancheng cannot move there. We have already put Ambassador Li under house arrest, and if Li Jiancheng is also arrested, Taiyuan Qin Wangjun will not be able to move." There is going to be a big problem. Fortunately, Li Jiancheng's personal army is in charge of our people, and His Royal Highness King Qi is watching, so don't worry too much."
"Then Li Jiancheng's authority should be temporarily cut off, and Li Yuan's Hedong Comforting Envoy Bing Talisman should be handed over to His Royal Highness King Qi, just in case!" Yin Shishi said viciously.
Chen Yingliang nodded feebly, agreeing to Yin Shishi's safe suggestion, and then sent someone to contact Chai Shao under the pretext that he had summoned Chai Shao to be arrested and detained in the Chinese army's tent, while ordering feebly: "Come here, Invite Li Juncheng down and put him in solitary confinement, not to be abused."
Chen Sangliang's soldiers agreed, and quickly came up to invite Li Jing to leave. Li Jing didn't resist, and turned around silently to accompany the soldiers to leave the big tent. Lai said to Chen Yingliang: "Commander, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. Last night, when the prisoner and Li Shimin were going north to the Turkic camp, when they were about to encounter the Turkic guards, Li Shimin suddenly gave the criminal a wax pill. It is said that the criminal will open it again in the future, the criminal was in a trance before and forgot to open the wax pill."
As he spoke, Li Jing took out a wax pill from his bosom, and Chen Sangliang's personal soldiers quickly took it, and presented it to Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang took the wax pill and found that the wax pill was quite large and could be seen faintly in thin silk, so he He randomly squeezed the wax pills, took out the thin silk and unfolded it for a closer look, but when he looked carefully at the contents on the silk, Chen Sangliang's mouth opened so wide that two eggs could be stuffed in, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. Exclaimed: "How is it possible?!"
Seeing Chen Yingliang's astonishment, Yin Shishi, Wei Zheng, Yuan Tiangang and others were of course extremely curious, and hurriedly went to look at Li Er's wax pill collection. When they looked carefully, Yin Shishi, Wei Zheng and others were also surprised at the same time He cried out, "My God! How is this possible?!"
Chen Sangliang and others couldn't help being surprised, but the key point is that the content of Li Er's wax pill collection is too amazing.
"The last general Li Shimin paid homage to Marshal Chen. When the general read this book, the general was already in the Turkic camp. The general only asked the general to keep one thing in mind. The whole family of the general is in the hands of the Central Plains and the general. The general If the consequences are reversed, the commander-in-chief knows himself, and in the end, this act is only a meritorious atonement, to clear his innocence, and I hope the commander-in-chief will investigate clearly.
The last general asks the commander-in-chief. Before the two armies, please ask the commander-in-chief to hand over a fake head to Shibi, pretending to be the head of the last general's father. The last general will be lucky to survive, and the morale of the Turkic army will also be hit. .
Finally, there is another plan. Before the two armies, the commander might as well take the Turkic prisoners as the vanguard, expel the Turkic prisoners and attack the enemy first, and then the Turkic battle will be chaotic without fighting. "
After reading these three short sentences, not to mention Yin Shishi and Wei Zheng, even Chen Sangliang, who is a time traveler, is extremely unbelievable. He almost suspects that Li Er, like himself, is also a time traveler from the future. By. After finally regaining his composure, Chen Sangliang quickly raised his head and asked Li Jing, "Li Juncheng, this wax pill was given to you by Li Shimin on the way north to the Turkic camp?"
"That's right." Li Jing nodded, and then said: "At that time we just encountered a group of Turkic sentry cavalry, and the Turkic sentry cavalry also found us. Now that I think about it, he probably handed it to me at that time on purpose, so that I would not have a chance to open the wax pill." Check out its contents."
Hearing this, Chen Sangliang was inevitably speechless, while Li Jing was extremely curious, and couldn't help asking, "Commander, what did Li Shimin write in the wax pill? Can criminals know?"
Chen Sangliang didn't say a word, picked up the tissue and handed it to Li Jing, Li Jing quickly walked to Chen Sangliang, took the tissue with both hands and took a closer look, but after carefully looking at the content, Li Jing was also dumbfounded. He shouted even more in disbelief: "How is it possible? How is this possible? Li Shimin was already ready on the road? No! He didn't have time to prepare wax pills on the road. It must be the commander-in-chief who paid back the bill after you gave him the task." Wax pellets written when preparing to leave camp!"
"How is this possible? Li Shimin has already guessed our tactical plan just after listening to your order, Commander-in-Chief, and has also thought up the idea of sneaking into the Turkic camp to get out of control? Is he a human or a ghost? How can Yunsi get so fast? !"
Hearing Li Jing's surprised yell, Chen Sangliang, Yin Shishi and others were inevitably dumbfounded. They never expected Li Er to be so alert. He had just finished listening to the task assigned to him, and he could immediately guess Qin Wang Sui. He also immediately conceived a way to escape from Chen Sangliang's control, figured out a way to save his life, and also figured out a way for Chen Sangliang to deal with the enemy-expel the Turkic prisoners of war as forwards, which can be It has the effect of confusing the Turkic army, and it can also make the soldiers of the Sui army worry-free and concentrate on fighting.
"It's possible." Changsun Wuji's words brought everyone in the tent outside Hun Feitian back to reality, and Changsun Wuji said with a very unsightly face: "Li Shimin is indeed very fast in thinking, which I already knew when I made friends with him before." I found that no matter how complicated things are, he can figure them out in a blink of an eye, sort out the clues, and respond ten times faster than me. Brother, don’t be angry when I tell you, his speed of thinking is still higher than yours, and many things It takes a lot of time to analyze and understand, but if it were Li Shimin, he might have understood the cause and effect in the blink of an eye."
"It's not surprising." Chen Sangliang had a rare introspection, and secretly said: "After all, he is Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and I am just a small criminal police captain."
After muttering quietly, Chen Sangliang waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't worry about how smart and astute Li Shimin is for the time being. Since this kid has shown his heart to us, it means that he sneaked into the Turkic camp just to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes. Take the initiative to remind him that his whole family is still in our hands as hostages, so he may not necessarily rebel, and our decisive battle plan for tonight may not necessarily need to be adjusted."
Yin Shishi, Wei Zheng and others remained silent, and after a while, Yin Shishi cautiously reminded: "Commander, Li Shimin's request to stay in the Turkic camp as a hostage is because although he is already in the pill book It shows that Li Yuan's family is indeed still under the control of the Sui court, but what if he insists on treason and surrender to the enemy regardless of his family's life? I will take the liberty to say that since ancient times, all rebels have killed their parents, wives and children They can all be discarded."
Chen Sangliang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered another important event - the most outstanding thing Li Er did in history happened to be to kill his brother and force his father. But after thinking about it, Chen Sangliang felt that it was impossible for Li Er to do such a beautiful thing now, because now Li Er has neither meritorious reputation nor personal power, so he will do it now, not to mention other people Even the entire Li family is unlikely to go with him, and the Turkic side may also kill him and hide him, making him even more hopeless.
At this point in the calculation, Chen Sangliang was a little shaken again, hesitatingly said: "Li Shimin's doing this, what good will it do him? Apart from avenging my wife and getting some Turkic rewards, what else can he get?"
"Marshal, did you find something strange?" Once bitten by a snake and afraid of grass ropes for ten years, Li Jing did not dare to take Li Er lightly at this meeting, and reminded cautiously: "Since Li Shimin decided to make meritorious deeds to atone for his sins and clear his innocence, so why didn't he just help the subordinates complete the task of luring the enemy? Why did he risk his life and voluntarily stay in the Turkic camp as a hostage?"
"There is an explanation for this." Chen Sangliang frowned and said: "He voluntarily stayed in the Turkic camp as a hostage, which can make the Turkic side feel more at ease with Ambassador Li and help us have a better chance of luring the enemy. At the same time, he also It is reasonable to prepare a way out for myself. However, is there another mystery behind this reasonableness?"
Even Chen Sangliang, who is devoid of conscience, can't guess whether Li Er's behavior has other secrets, let alone other people. When everyone was racking their brains, there was a report from a personal soldier outside the tent, saying that Li Er had done it. He was ordered to bring Chai Shao here, and while he was thinking nervously, Chen Yingliang ordered to bring him in, and then Chai Shao, who always had a bitter face, entered the Chinese army tent, saluted Chen Sangliang, and said in a low voice: "At the end General Chai Shao, I was ordered to meet the commander-in-chief, dare to ask why the commander-in-chief summoned the last general? The last general will go back to lead the army to prepare for the night battle, please order from the commander-in-chief."
"I..." Chen Sangliang's words reached his lips but he couldn't continue—because Chen Sangliang originally planned to trap Chai Shao as a precaution, but now that the situation has changed, Chen Sangliang certainly cannot order Chai Shao to be taken down. In desperation, Chen Sangliang had no choice but to change his words, and said casually: "General Chai Shao, I summoned you to ask you about Li Shimin, what do you think of him?"
"Why did the commander suddenly want to ask this?" Chai Shao was extremely surprised.
"You don't have to worry about this, just answer truthfully." Chen Sangliang said smoothly: "Just tell me your impression of Li Shimin truthfully."
"Then the general will tell the truth." Chai Shao was not polite or afraid of death, and said directly: "Although Erlang is only seventeen years old, he is young, mature, sophisticated, smart, decent, filial to his parents, respectful, and respectful." Elder, handsome, both civil and military, is a rare young talent in the world!"
After all, Chai Shao, who hated Chen Sangliang so much, couldn't help but add, "It's much better than a kid who hasn't even killed a chicken. He needs literature to have literary talent, and martial arts to have martial arts. What a joke!" I don't understand why the girl he likes is so blind that she abandoned him."
"Chai Shao, what did you say?" Changsun Wuji was furious.
"Wuji, don't be as knowledgeable as him." Chen Yingliang waved his hand, not bothering to pay attention to Chai Shao's wailing, and said with a sneer: "Written talent is necessary for literature, and martial arts is for martial arts. If you have martial arts, then he participated in the previous three battles." After two battles, why didn't even a single gain?"
"That's because Erlang gave up the gains to his subordinates!" Chai Shao said angrily: "In the battle of Nao County, Erlang beheaded six people, and shot three enemies to death with bows and arrows in the rebellious army! We fought the field battle with the Turks, He beheaded five more, shot five enemies with an arrow, and shot a Turkic commander to death with one arrow, but he didn't claim these credits, and gave them all to his subordinates! Don't look at him being much younger than me, In fact, in a real fight, I am not his opponent at all!"
"So powerful?" Chen Sangliang was skeptical, and asked again: "Since he has made so many contributions on the battlefield, why did he give up the achievements to others?"
"He told his subordinates that his family was rich and he didn't care about these rewards, so he gave them to his subordinates." Chai Shao replied casually, and said angrily: "However, I suspect that he deliberately hides his secrets so that no one will be jealous of him." Thanks to martial arts, Jixian is jealous and guilty, and uses despicable means to harm him."
"Am I that kind of person?"
Chen Sangliang laughed out loud, and just wanted to ridicule Chai Shao and Li Er a few more words, but Chen Sangliang suddenly froze when the words came to his mouth, and after careful calculation, Chen Sangliang immediately slapped the table and shouted: " I understand Li Shimin's real purpose!"
Chai Shao was dumbfounded, while Yin Shishi, Li Jing and others beside him hurriedly asked, "Marshal, what is Li Shimin's real purpose?"
"What a boy, he has such strong self-confidence, great courage, deep scheming, and great ambition." Chen Sangliang didn't answer the question, but sighed, "Even me and the entire King Qin's army were indirectly used by him. Such ambition, courage, scheming and self-confidence are admirable, admirable."
"Marshal, what are you talking about? Why can't the general understand?" Yin Shishi asked anxiously: "What is Li Shimin's real purpose?"
"Haven't seen it yet?" Chen Sangliang said with a wry smile: "Li Shimin's arrangements here are so deliberate, and he has been careful to hide his real martial arts. His purpose is nothing but the head of the thief chieftain. ?”
"The head of Shibi Bandit Chieftain?" Yin Shishi, Li Jing, Chai Shao and others all exclaimed in disbelief, "Li Shimin wants to single-handedly take down the head of Shibi Bandit Chieftain?"
"That's right, that's right." Chen Sangliang nodded, his smile became even more bitter, and he said, "Although it is very dangerous, as long as our King Qin's army defeats the Turkic army, and at the same time he, Li Shimin, also relies on the escape plan he prepared to save his life, he will surely Being able to stay with Shibi Bandit Chieftain as a loyal Turkic minister, he does have this chance to win the head of Shibi Bandit Chieftain in the midst of the chaos!"
Glancing at the stupefied Yin Shishi and Li Jing, Chen Sangliang wailed again: "Think about it, if Li Shimin single-handedly took down the head of the Shibi thief chief in the midst of the rebellious army, what would it be like?" How dazzling will it be? How shocking will it be? When the time comes, won’t my title as the youngest general of the Sui Dynasty be transferred to his head?!”
