Chapter 92 ninety one

As soon as the words were finished, there was a bang on the door, and a voice came: "I haven't reached the age where my eyesight is dim, and I can't see who is behind this evil spirit!" Li and Quan were both startled, and only Seeing an angry Cen Wenwen standing at the door.Li Ke stood up and said hello: "Sir——" Cen Wenwen did not respond, but walked towards Quan Wanji, and said in a very stern tone: "Quan Wanji, do you know what a stupid thing I did this time? In order to bring down the crown prince, he did not hesitate to instigate The king of Shu did such a treasonable thing, leaked such an important secret that the emperor was besieged in Mayi, and cared about the righteousness of the emperor and ministers, are you still a scholar?"

Quan Wanji argued: "I did this for the good of the King of Shu, and I wanted to force the East Palace into a pit of fire!" Cen Wenwen said angrily: "Then can you disregard the life and death of the emperor? You are not pushing the crown prince into the pit of fire, but His Royal Highness the King of Shu into the pit of fire! Fortunately, Wei Zheng is not in the court. If he is, it will be more serious. Pursue the leak to the end, this crime alone is enough to make the king of Shu die without a place to bury him!" Quan Wanji showed a look of terror, and said in a panic: "Then I will stop those messengers immediately Tell them not to tell who leaked the news." Cen Wenwen sneered: "Hmph, I just thought of gagging someone's mouth now. Is it too late? Two eunuchs who will never speak again Recite this matter. From now on, don’t mention this matter again, just pretend it never happened.” Only then did Quan Wanji understand that Cen Wenwen had actually exonerated him from a felony. He said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."

Cen Wenwen turned his face to Li Ke and said earnestly: "Your Highness, after the incident of Hou Junji, I have never been to your palace. Firstly, I feel sad, and secondly, I want you to be quiet. , Now it seems that your heart still hasn't calmed down! There are a few words, it seems that I have to say something. Right now, the world is not peaceful, and Jieli's generation of heroes, whether you, the prince, or something else People are not his opponents. Only the emperor can compete with him. Only when the emperor is there can the Tang Dynasty be there, and only with the Tang Dynasty can you have a future. No matter how ambitious you are right now, you are still a fledgling , before you can fly, don't let the tree you live in fall first!" Cen Wenwen walked out without looking back, walked to the door, stopped and said: " Have you really read the heart-purifying mantra given to you by the imperial concubine?"

Li Ke looked at Cen Wenwen's back, but didn't dare to say a word. Mayi City, with only a few thousand defenders, was besieged by tens of thousands of enemy troops for seven days. Except for a few small-scale trials, no decent offensive was launched.For the past seven days, Li Shimin has remained calm.There are so many enemies besieging the city, but he never heard a single person calling for Li Shimin to be captured alive. Can't figure it out. Dugumou would come to the inn on time every day to report the situation outside to Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji.For the rest of the time, Li Shimin played chess with Changsun Wuji, watching the situation change.Changsun Wuji has liked this way of black and white since he was a child, and he has superb chess skills. He used to play against Li Shimin and always had the upper hand, but these few days his heart has been unable to calm down, and he almost lost all games.On the seventh day, there was no movement outside the city all morning. Changsun Wuji was still calm and focused. Seeing that the situation on Li Shimin's chessboard was in jeopardy, at noon, there were sudden bursts of shouts from outside, and Changsun Wuji lost his chess piece. In a blink of an eye, he played a few bad moves in a row, and the situation suddenly reversed.

Anxiously, he threw the chess piece into the chess box and stood up to close the window.Li Shimin stopped him and said: "Don't close the window, this is what I want to hear!" Changsun Wuji walked back and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, it has been seven days in a row, tens of thousands of troops have surrounded a small town of small pills to fight!" Shouting at the top of my voice, if there is thunder but no rain, let the minister feel more and more hopeless!" Li Shimin gave him a blank look: "You are also a person who has seen a big battle, so you are so scared by such a small thing?" Changsun Wuji sighed: "Oh! If only the minister is here, I will not be afraid of the sky falling. But right now, your Majesty, you are in this dangerous city, can your heart not hang in your throat!"

Li Shimin played with a chess piece and said, "I haven't listened to the seven-day drama in vain." Changsun Wuji asked, "What did the emperor hear?" Li Shimin stood up, walked to the window and said, "I heard something. The road to break through!" Changsun Wuji looked puzzled: "Road? Your Majesty, you don't even look at it, there are enemies everywhere outside the city, so how can there be any way to go?" Li Shimin stretched out his hand and pointed to the north: "You didn't hear that? Has there been no movement on this road to the north?"

Changsun Wuji frowned and said: "Your Majesty, going north is the territory of the barbarians!" Li Shimin stretched his arms and bones with his hands on his hips and said, "We want to protrude from there!" He asked Changsun Wuji to send someone to call Dugumou to inquire about the situation of the enemy army outside the city. As expected, the main force of the enemy was concentrated in the south and fought fiercely with a reinforcement sent by the Tang army in Yunzhong. The east and west wings were also relatively strong, only the north. , because it is close to Xieli's control area, the defense is relatively loose.Li Shimin asked Dugu Mou if he had a chance of winning if he used a small group of cavalry to protrude from the north gate late at night.Dugu Mou thought about it, and felt that this was a way of surprise. The terrain in the north is complicated, and there is a large forest not far from the city. If there are not many people, and the horse is fast, he will quickly rush into the forest when the enemy is caught off guard by night. It will be difficult to catch up again.After hearing Dugu Mou's words, Li Shimin made a decision. He asked Dugu Mou to lead his cavalry to secretly open the north gate that night, and go out of the city from there!

There was no moon that night, and at the third watch, Dugu Mou led more than a hundred cavalrymen to the inn to pick up Li Shimin and others. There were two more people inside, one was the prince captured a few days ago, and the other It is his best friend Fang Yizhi.Although Dugu Mou was more courageous than the sky, but tonight's breakout was unusual, and he was also worried that he would not be able to complete the task of escorting alone, so he took the prisoner with him, and he might be able to serve as a hostage if necessary.And the reason why he dragged Fang Yi over was mainly because his best friend was good at martial arts, he came to Mayi earlier, and he was more familiar with the terrain outside the city.

Before coming to the inn, Dugu Mou didn't explain to Fang Yizhi why he was invited here, and when Li Shimin and others rode out of the inn gate, Fang Yizhi almost cried out in shock.He has been in and out of the Prince Qin's mansion since he was a child, of course he knows Li Shimin, but he never thought that the current emperor would be in this dangerous city.Dugu Mou pinched him hard, whispered something into his ear, and briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, Fang Yi didn't realize what a thrilling night he was going to experience today.
